  Speaker 1: Oh, a lot of the Cristals of Widow, Last Seas
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and any individual loss. This is the show, all right, everybody,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: welcome to your one book show on this Wednesday, May
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: twenty seventh. Everybody is having agreed a week all right, Uh,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: let's jump in. I know, I'm sure almost all of
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: you are sick and tired of hearing about Iran, the deal,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: a deal surrender piece in our time, the whole. Yeah,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: so am I It really is? It really is, you know,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: just tiresome at this point, and boring and repetitive and
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: nothing new I mean of a part of the story
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: is then nothing newness about it, the fact that it's
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: just circling around and circling around and circling around it.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: But he's saying the same thing over and over and
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: over again, and and nothing is developing, and nothing is
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: going in any particular direction. And every day there's a
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: new story about how they're about to sign a deal,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: and the deal is released and it's terrible and awful
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and constitutes American surrender, every single one of them, no
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: matter who leaks it, and then they back away from
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: it and then no, that's not the deal and never was.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: So this morning Iranian television released the deal. There was
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: a there's agreed to and and within it, and it
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: was awful. And then within an hour, you know, the
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Trumpe administration said no, no, that's not the deal, you're
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: not signing it, that we would never sign that, and
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: it just it just continues like this, day in day
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: out with really no progress, and it's hard to tell
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: what the hell is going on and why they're doing it,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: and what the purposes and where this is heading and
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: how this is gonna end. I think it's gonna end
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: in a deal. I find it very difficult to believe
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: that Trump, after all of this, would return to fighting.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: The reality is that if that's what he wanted, he
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: could do it, could have done it two months ago,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: could have done it yesterday, could have done at any
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: point of time, so white tomorrow. So it's very very
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: there's a huge amount of uncertainty. I think again highly
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: probable there will be a deal. Trump will cave in
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the end, but it's not clear what that deal looks
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: like and what the caving looks like, and it's not
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: clear what you know, if Trump doesn't caves, then what happens.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: The one thing we know is he is not interested
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: in pursuing military action. He's not interested in using military
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: action to end this thing. He's not interested. And we
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: learned a little bit maybe about why not yesterday. Yesterday
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: was released that the Saudis. Saudis are really, really, really
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: worried suddenly that Iran will if fighting resumes, Iran will
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: target the desalination plant. And they basically have one large
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: desalination plant that's on the Persian Gulf two hundred and
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: fifty kilometers I think away from Yuan that basically supplies
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: all of the water to Yad, the capital. Eight million
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: people live there, and supposedly the you know NBS, the
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: ruler of Saudi, basically told Trump, you know, if if
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: you resume and the Iranians bomb the desalination plant, then
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: I'm going to have to evacuate eight million people out
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: of Riyat. How am I going to do that? Where
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: am I going to take them? Where am I going
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: to get the water? What's gonna What's what's going on here?
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: You know? It is very very I mean it's understandable,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: particularly given that the Saudis now understand that the United
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: States is not in this to win, and the United
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: States is unlikely to do to Iran the kind of
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: damage that would encourage the Iranians not to attack a
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: desalination plant. But you know, it's completely understandable. I think
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: that if the Saudis were convinced that the US was
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: in this to win and regime change was the end
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: goal and the Iranians would be crushed, maybe they'd be
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: more open to taking the risk. But why take the
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: risk when Trump might negotiate a deal anyway and throw
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia under the bus as part of that deal,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: as he has. So it could be that now you
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: would think that the Saudis would have enough they you know,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: at defense capabilities and over the last two months of
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: ceasefire bought and placed enough offense capabilities around whatever they
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: deem as the most important strategic assets, like the desalination
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: plant to protect it. But you know, uh, who knows,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: who knows, and it could very well be the thing
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: that they're afraid of and why they're putting pressure on
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Trump to negotiate a deal and not to resume fighting. Yesterday, Also,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: there was another schoomish in the States of Homoes. Most
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: speedboats taken out. The Ranians are still trying to lay
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: mines and still trying to do stuff. How to tell
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: you know, but why not? Given the United States it
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: does not view any action that the Iranians take as
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: a violation of the ceasefire, even though they violated the
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: ceasefire on day one by not opening the stitch of homoes.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Why not keep trying and to gain more and more
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: and more leverage as you can also yesterday, the last
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: couple of days, Trump has been emphasizing that he expects
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia and Kato to sign on to the ABAM
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Accords as part of any deal with Iran. Indeed, earlier
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: today he said, I think those countries owe it to us.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure why they owe it to it to us,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: but anyway, I'm not sure we should make the deal
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: with Ran if they don't sign, we want to know
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the truth. If they don't sign to join the Abamaccords. Now,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the chance of Saudi Arabia and particularly Kato signed the
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Abamaccords because Trump signs a deal with Iran is basically zero.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: There's a prediction you can test me on. I guess
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: in the weeks to come zero they're not going to.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense to them. And again I
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: will say this. I've said it before, I'll say it again.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: The reality is that all this war with Iran has
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: shown the Gulf States is the weakness of the United
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: States and by extension, the weakness of Israel that as well.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Israel has this mighty military force that can do whatever
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: it wants in the Middle East, and nobody comes even close.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: The reality is they can't won't use it without US support,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and given US weakness and unlikely to give them a
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: thumbs up to use it. They're weak. Why would the
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Saudis and the Katawis line themselves up with a weak Israel.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: They're much more likely to sign a deal with Iran.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Iwan is the new superpower. Ivan is the one who
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: beat the Americans. Iwan is the one that has missiles
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: targeted at their desalination plants. Much more likely to as
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: part of a deal with Iran. Saudi Arabia Katsa is
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: already friendly with you on but maybe even the UE
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: cozy up to the Ranians. I mean a deal. A
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Trump deal with the Iranians is a massive geopolitical loss
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: because partially because the Gulf States will take it as
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: an Iranian victory and align themselves with them, and so
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: will the Islamists of the world will be energized by this.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I mean cozying up to Iran has huge costs to
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: these countries. They have shared minorities within the countries that
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: the Iranians are constantly, you know, trying to use to overthrow.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: It means they have a lot less independence. They are
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: now dependent on Iran and their missiles targeting their desalination plants.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: They give up all basically independence. Audi Arabia, which has
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: ambitions to lead the Sunni world, now is subservient to
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: a Shiai country. That will make NBS look very, very
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: weak in his own country, and one wonders what some
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: of the more radical Sunni elements within the country will
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: do to him as a consequence. I mean it's a disaster.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, cozing up to Youran is an unmitigated disaster
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: for the Saudis and in particular, but for the Yuye
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: as well. You know, most of the Shiites who live in
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia live in the oil rich region. The yue
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: has struggled Shiites and with Muslim Brotherhood Sunni extremists for years,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: So no this would be a disaster, disaster for any
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: country to cozy up to Yon and Yuan is not
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: about just cozing up. UoN is about control, manipulation. Ivan
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: is about, you know, using you to achieve its aims.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: And its aims are not It's aims a global It's
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: aims to control the Middle East. We sow that in
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the way it controls Iraq, in the way it tried
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: to control it controlled for a long time Syria, in
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the way it has tried and succeeded to Legistan, to
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: control Lebanon, in the way it is controlled Yemen. Yuan
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: is ambitious on a global scale. Not good, not good
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: at all for the Saudis, for Uee, for Bahrain who
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: just want to make money, who just want to integrate
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: themselves into the Western world and make money. I mean,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Uee wants to be a hub of commerce and finance
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: for the Western world. They a low tax place where
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: the wealthy of the world come and live and bring
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: their and alignment with Iran does not help them do that.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: It hurts them. It hurts them. So No, none of
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: these countries, you know, if they really pursue their own
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: rational long term self interest, would pursue any deal with Iran. Indeed,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: all of these countries have a strong preference, not a weak,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: a strong preference for the United States just to crush
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the Ranians, which is completely within the power of the
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: United States. It's completely within its means. It's even within
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: the means just of these ray leis to do. It's
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: just a question of will. It is just a question
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: of will. Hippa says Trump making ran great again. Sad, Yes,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I mean that's sad and true. And it's exactly what
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: is going on. It's exactly what's going on. And yet,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm even seeing some people who have accused
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: have TDS and come after me for being so anti
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Trump and all this stuff. Turning on Trump. Not nobody's
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: gonna apologize to me, ever, that will never happen, but
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: turning on Trump over this because it's so obvious, it's
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: so clear, it's so I mean, you have to be
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: a true, mindless Trump's zombie to defend Trump's behavior visa
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: vid Iran war. And I'm seeing many of those who
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: are being zombies regarding his other activities shift on this one,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: shift on this one, all right. Trump also said this morning,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: he said, you know he had one of those cabinet
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: meetings where everybody praised them, and everybody told him how
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: greedy he's doing, and anybody said how he was a
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: God's gift to America into the universe, really, and how
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: good he was and how amazing he was, and how
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: what a great deal we're going to get. Anyway, he
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: also said that Oman oman better behave like everyone else,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: or will have to blow them up. I put aside,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: put aside, why he would say this about Himan. Who
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: knows the Almani's are basically negotiating with Uranians over the
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: control of the Homo straits. But why would anybody, I
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: mean anybody in the universe take a Trump threat seriously?
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, how many times has she said the equivalent
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: that we will blow them up about Iran and then
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: backed off? A dozen, two dozen, fifty one hundred times.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I've lost count. Somebody should make a
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: list how many times has he threatened and then not
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: followed through. I mean, he's made Obama's red line to
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: the Syrian regime. He's made that fiasco look like nothing
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: and trivial. And so what Trump has drawn so many
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: red lines and he's given so many ultimatums. He has
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: made so many threats that nobody should believe anything he says.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: And why would a mon care, Why would the Saudis
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: and Saudis care about his threat about the Abam McCord?
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Why would anybody believe anything he says, anything he says
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: about anything, about any topic. Nothing? All right. In the meantime,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: israel Is continues to assassinate leaders in Gaza. We talked
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: about that yesterday. They took out They took out the
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: latest military leader of Ramas. Israel is also slowly maybe
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: expanding the territory that he controls in Gaza. It is.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Remember remember the ceasefire deal the Trump made around the
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Gaza strip. Remember the bolder piece turns out the boat
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: of piece has zero dollars in his bank account. You
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: remember all the billion dollar commitments people made to join
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: the boader piece. Nobody's nobody's ponied up a dying anyway,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: There was a ceasefire deal, There was going to be
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: this armament of Ramas. There was going to be a
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: new international force deployed to Gaza. There was going to
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: be the the Gaza Riviera. There was going to be
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: development and building and all this stuff. I guess how
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: much of that has actually happened. Nada, zero, zilch. More
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: expression of the power and strength of and and and
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: resilience of the Trump administration. They talk talk talk talk,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: could do nothing. Don't. Only thing they're really good at
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: so far when he comes to war is stopping these
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Raelies from finishing what has been started. Stopped Israelis in
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: June last year in Iran, they stopped the Israelis in Gaza.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: They stopped the Israelies in Lebanon. They stopped these Raelies
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: in in Iran this time. The only thing that Trump
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: is good at when it comes to war is stopping
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: these Raelies. I'm actually doing the work anyway. At some
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: point Israel's going to have to go into Gaza and
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: finish the job. We'll see when Israel is expanding operations
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: in Lebanon. Now Trump has asked them, as far as
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I can tell, not to bombay route. They haven't so far.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: We'll see if that sticks. But Israel has expanded operations
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: in Lebanon and including more ground troops, more entry into Lebanon,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: and I now have I think a couple of nephews
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: in Lebanon, so I'm a little concerned and but but
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: uh uh, it is good to see as well. Expanding
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: in there. It's flattening whole villages, it's destroying, you know,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: miles of risbal La tunnels, it's just swing facilities. But
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: the reality is that to get rid of Risabelle Lebanon
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: is going to be unbelievably difficult and ultimately long term.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: The only way to do that is to incapacitate this.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: The Iranians, if you want, suddenly gets all the money
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: on frozen and all the money Trump has promised them
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: and you know, sanctions lifted and all that. If you want,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: suddenly has a bunch of money coming in. That money
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: will go, will use that money to rebuild or will
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: be constantly again chasing. Uh you know, they they will
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: be built is or will destroy They will be build destroyed.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: The only way to stop that is regime changing. You on,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I mean everything everything in the Middle East from a
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: jupilitic perspective, everything now depends on regime changing an Ion. Now,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: maybe that regime change will come in spite of Trump
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: because of internal pressures within Iran, but we will see
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: so as well as literally taking out of complete villages
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: They're evacuating all the civilians and then completely flattening all
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: the homes close to the border, so those homes cannot
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: be used for Hissbel infrastructure, to build tunnels into Israel,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: to launch missiles into Israel, to do anything. Those villages
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: don't exist anymore. There's something like one point six million
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: people in Lebanon who've been displaced because of evacuation orders
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: that Israel has given. They are now giving evacuation orders
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: in the East in the Bucka Valley, about to deploy
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: forces into that region. A lot going on, and again
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: I think Israel is trying to speed that up. It's
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: calling reserve troops in, It's trying to speed it all
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: up because they're afraid a deal the Trump signs will
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: be another deal that is good for only one thing,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: and that is stopping the Israelis. Some other geopolitical manifestations
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: of all of this. Basically, the idea that Iran can
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: in a sense defeat the United States has massive ramification
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: for the rest of the world. I mean, basically, the
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: United States has been the gallant tool of global security
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: since World War Two. You know, the whole regions in
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: the world, from East Asia to you know, much of
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: the Middle East to NATO and Europe, you know, to
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: you know, all these vast parts of the world, even
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Africa to some extent, have relied on America to provide
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: the military force needed to secure those regions. Many of
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: these countries have not really invested in it and not
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: really built up a military force. Again, this is true
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: of Europe, but it's also true of Japan, it's true
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: of South Korea, it's true of much of Asia and
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: much of the rest of the world. But how many
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: people are going to look at what happens now with
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Iran a deal, look at an American equivalent to surrender,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: and say, okay, we'll continue to rely in the United
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: States to protect us. I mean, that is gone no
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: matter what happens really now with Iran. I think the
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: basic message that Trump persent the world is you can't
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: trust us. And this is going to cause a massive
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: increase in global spending on on the military. I mean,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: if you want to make some good investments, invest in
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: the military industrial complex, particularly in you know, if you
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: can invest in Ukrainian drone companies or in American startups
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: that are doing defense, there's going to be a lot
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: of demand or even European defense companies, because Europeans are
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: not going to want to buy from America. They're going
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: to want to build in home. And I think that's
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: going to be true of South Korea, which already has
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: a military industry, road is going to expand it. You're
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: going to see the same in Japan, which is Japan
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: for the first time since World War Two just exported
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: military hardware to another country. I think they exported they
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: sold their destroyer platform to the Philippines. So Japan is
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: going to be building a significant military Much of that
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: is going to be internal. They're going to build up
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: military industry, and you know you're going to see countries
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: all over the world do this. And many countries, by
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: the way, are going to turn to nuclear weapons. I
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: would not be surprised if Japan builds a bomb, if
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Turkey builds a bomb, and that would be really, really,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: really bad. If Germany, South Korea, maybe even Australia and
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: maybe a country in Latin America like Brazil, Poland certainly
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: don't start building their own bombs. Can't rely in the
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: United States? Does Europe really rely want to rely on
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: a nuclear umbrella from France? Of all places. Probably not.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: So what you're going to see is a building up
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: of nuclear capabilities in Europe and in East Asia. And
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: you know how this all plays out, I don't think
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: it's good. I think one of the reasons we've had
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: relative peace for seventy something years post World War two
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: it is the US. The US strengths the US, you know,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: in US has flounded, flounded in Vietnam, it flounded in Korea,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: it but it never projected the absolute kind of weakness
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: that is projecting right now. And whether whether the US
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: can bounce back from Trump. Can the US bounce back
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: from Trump? You know, that's a that's a huge question mark,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: huge question mark. It bounced back from the seventies, which
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: would disgrace, but canna bans bounce back from Trump. I'm skepped,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: And particularly when I look at what the left response
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: to Trump is. I mean, the left response to Nixon
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: was Jimmy Carter, I mean not good, but you know,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: milk toast. The left response to Trump is Mamdani and
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: this this senator in Maine and an AOC. I just
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: don't see. I don't see. Given that that's the Democrats,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: what are the Republicans going to do. Are they going
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: to bounce back towards a Reagan like character. There's nobody.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: There is literally nobody. Marco Rubio is part of this administration.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: He's signed off and everything Trump is doing, he has
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: justified it. He's been the tough guy who supposedly has
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: made it legitimate. Here is no solution for this. We
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: survive a FDR because the United States was a different
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: country back then. We survive a FDR because you know,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: economy was you know, in many respects, Americans the character
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: of Americans was much better. That is, if you think
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: about it. When FDR established the welfare state in America,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Americans were still a people of self sufficiency. A lot
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: of people didn't apply for the kind of programs that
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: if they are put in place because they didn't believe
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: in taking money from the government. So America is in
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: a much better place. So after I could do is worse.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: But America is going to bounce back because Americans, the character,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: the essential nature, and the institutions were still intact. Now
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: that has eroded over decades now, and now Americans not
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: only are they not going to reject welfare, they embrace welfare.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: They want more welfare and they want no billionaires. So
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: America today isn't a much much, much worse situation than
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: it was in the nineteen thirties. Not economically, but you know,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: morally character wized sense of life wise, policy wise, even
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: institution wise, as much damage as if DR did. We're
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: in a much worse situation today. So America of today
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: is a hundred times at least more fragile than it
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: was in FDR days. Now, if you could bring the
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: people from the thirties into America today, yeah, I mean
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: we would bounce back, but those people are gone. Those
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: people are gone. I mean right now, it looks like
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: fifty two percent of Californians will vote on a wealth
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: tax on billionaires. This is the same California that started
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: the anti tax revolution in nineteen seventy eight by voting
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: for Propositions something thirteen I think it was called, that
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: capped property taxes and started the whole movement towards lower taxes.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Now California is going to be if they vote for this,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: this is going to be the beginning a massive tax
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: increases on the wealthy. That is enough future, that's where
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: we're heading. That's where we're going. This is a very
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: different world than the world that could bounce back after Dion. Remember,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: you know, we had to go through World War Two,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: and with all the damage FDR did in the thirties,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: you have to at least give him credit, I mean
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: minor credit given his facilitation of Stalin, but some credit
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: for winning World War two and winning it decisively. So no,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: I don't think one can extrapolate from a FDR. I
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: wish we could. It would be nice to be optimistic.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: I just don't see. I don't see it. I don't
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: see where we go. I don't see where we go.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: And all right, so one of the issues, it seems
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: like the topic the Democrats want to talk about right
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: now is billionaires, and the topic Republicans want to talk
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: about right now is immigration and fraud and the linking
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: of the two, the linking of the two. And you know,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: you see this over and over and over again. I
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: mean it started with Doge. Doge was this project that
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: came in and said, yeah, I mean, all our problems
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: with government, the deficit, the overregulation, the over control, all
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: the problems with government can be solved by getting rid
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: of fraud and waste and we have the world experts
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: in finding fraud and waste. Musk and his team of
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: tech guys. They'll come in and they'll get rid of it.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: And of course what happened. They cut zero dollars in
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: the federal budget. Government has only grown. Deficits have now
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: reached to trillion. Debt is thirty nine trillion and growing
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: at two trillion. A uh. But fraud is a you know,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: a powerful thing. Everybody's against fraud. Nobody's full fud. So
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: they keep coming back to the issue of fraud. It's
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: all about fought And of course we'll talk in a
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: minute about who commits fraud. But I want to show
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: you Steven Miller talking about this issue of fraud yesterday.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: And by the way, as you watch this video, those
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: of you who can watch the video versus those who
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: just listen, watched JD Vance's face. He's sitting next to
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Miller as he talks about this. In a sense, even
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: jd Vance is not buying this crap. Here's here's Miller.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Not a body buy our laws. And the amount that
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: has been fleeced from us is in the hundreds of
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: billions of dollars. I believe based on what I've seen
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: and what I've heard is that we could balance a
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: federal budget if the only dollars that went out of
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: the treasury when to individuals who are properly, lawfully, correctly
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: eligible to receive them. And that ultimately is going to
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: be what we have to do is the country. In
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: the meantime, because of the Vice President's leadership, you are
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: seeing the most muscular, robust, aggressive, dedicated, determined, and speedy
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: effort to shut down kriminal fraud that has not only
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: ever occurred in the history of this country, but in
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: any developed nation.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: So thank you. So yeah. I mean if we just
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: made sure that the individuals who received government stuff we were,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: you know, it was properly, lawfully, correctly eligible and it's
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: all eligible to receive it, then you could balance to
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: the federal budget. I mean, that is what's the technical
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: tone for that? That is complete and out of bs.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: And you look at Jdvan's next name, He's like, what
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: the hell is he talking about? He's got this look
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: in his face, it's like what and the sad events
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: and he's getting a compliment here. I mean, who buys
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: into this garbage? This is the same rhetoric we heard
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: from DOJ. And it's clearly wrong, it clearly doesn't work,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: it's clearly delusional. And yet they repeat it and repeat
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: it and repeat it and you over and over and
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: over again. I mean, they've again learned from the left.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: If you repeat a lie over and over and over again,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: people will believe it, people will buy into it. And
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: it's and hidden in this message, by the way, is
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: the idea that really the people getting the benefits. Now,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: remember the biggest expenditure of the federal government is so
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: security and shoot behind that is interest on the debt
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: and care and defense. Now, defense is not about you know,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know, individuals defaulting the government. Medicare is how
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: much do you realistically think you can cut from Medicare
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: because of fraud? Let's be generous. Twenty five percent is
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: that cut? The deficit deficit is two trillion dollars, So
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: maybe maybe medicare is a trillion. I think it's I
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: think it's less to you, say, two hundred and fifteen
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: million dollars, two and fifty, you know, billion dollars. That's
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: a lot of money. It's not two trillion. So security,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: how much thought is there really in so security? Very
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: little I mean, the reality is that that those scrubbed
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: that database, they really went after it. Indeed, so Security
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: there's actually a reversal. Illegal immigrants pay into and illegally
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: to pay into the Social Security system. They pay SOID
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: security taxes and pay roll taxes, Medicare taxes, and yet
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: they withdraw nothing because they're not legal, they're not eligible.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: And just to give you a sense of how, you know,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: how this is managed, So I've you know, I'm sixty five,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: so I'm supposed to receive Medicaid. So I go on
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: the website to sign up for Medicare and they say,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: we can't approve you because we need you to come
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: to a SOID security office with your original birth certificate
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: and your naturalization document and your passport to prove that
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: you're an American citizen because otherwise you're not going to
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: get it. I mean, it was a hassle. I did it.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Everything's fine, but right you know, you're not gonna get
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: medicated to a security unless you're a citizen. So it's
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: complete bs because legal immigrants, legal any legal immigrants, even
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: legal immigrants who never stay in the country to get
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: so security, never become citizens. All of them pay into
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: the system. So here you have a system. Here you
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: have a system where you know, there's just if you
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: look at the numbers, just simple numbers, you cannot get
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: to a situation where you balance the federal budget with fought.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: You don't even get anywhere close. You don't even close
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: it by ten or twenty percent. And again, these people
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: just lie now and there's a goal to the line,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: because the line all this talk about FAUT is really
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: talk about immigration. It's all about immigration because that's really
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: the only thing people like Stephen Miller care about, and
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: the only thing that that JD. Vance and you know,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: these guys care about because it's the only thing that
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: they think is they can sustain. Is they they want
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: to destroy immigration into the United States. And people like
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: to say, people like to say that it's only illegal
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: immigrants they're going after. Know, as we saw last week,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: it's legal immigration. They want to shut down. They want
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: to shut down immigration. And here's here's a statement. There
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: was This is a this is from this morning. Yeah,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: this is on this morning. This is from the Anti
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: four task force that is shared by JD. Vans. This
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: is the coach Chare Andrew focus on talking about anti fraud.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: He says, our whole society was designed for high trust
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: people people. Then we imported the Third world. The American
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: people rightly expect that their fellow citizens will deal with
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: them and their government honestly and failure. That's why, up
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: to until last decade or so, shelves and our grocery
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: stores and our pharmacies were open and readily accessible. We
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: want accustomed to seeing security guards outside of banks of
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: jewelry stores. We didn't have to worry about organized retail
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: theft or industrial scale scammers, or the type or the
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: type you all protect your citizens from every day. No,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: did we notice the constant emphasis and citizens citizens, not
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: the criminals being not citizens and these are citizens. No,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: did we have to worry about thoughtster's rating our benefits program.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: But sadly that's no longer true. It's become clear the
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: huge groups of people in this country, people not citizens
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: in this country, are taking advantage of the long standing
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: culture of trust to enrich themselves at the expense of
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: the American people. So there's the other, the thoughts and
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: the American people, the citizens, they have a you know,
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: particularly countries of origin. I guess I think a BIF
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: example would be illustrative. Just this weekend, I was shopping
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: at a big home improvement store to buy a drill
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: to do some home improvement, and I had a call
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: button and wait fifteen minutes for sale associated to come
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: unlock a steel cage and a steel padlock to get
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: access to the drill. It's wide. The ordinance is now
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: locked behind plastic windows and pharmacies. It's why security guards
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: are seen on every store in America. The social trust
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: has evaporated and people are taking advantage of it the
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: same way. The same is true with our federal benefits programs.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: Huge segments of the population have decided to take advantage
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: of this generosity and trust of American citizens through deception
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: and fraud, and billions and billions of dollars each year.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: Leave our program leave our programs into the hands of pirates, frauds,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: the scammers, and gangs who treat American generosity as little
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: more than a quick rich scheme. We shouldn't have to
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: live this way. Yeah, I don't think we should have
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: to live this way at all. But notice what he
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: isn't saying. What he isn't saying is these are all people,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: all these people, immigrants. But that's what he's implying, that's
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: what suggestive of the language. This is the Third World
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: brought into the United States. This is them doing this.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Like all the shoplifting, that's immigrants, all of it. It
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: has nothing to do with you know, leftists in government
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: who say that shoplifting is not really a crime. It
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: has nothing to do with the mayor of Chicago saying
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: that looting of stores is just a way of slavery reparations.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: It has not even to do with anything. It has
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: everything to do with the only one issue they really
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: care about, which is demonizing immigrants, demonizing immigrants. So for them,
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: crime is all about immigration. Again, there's no evidence of this,
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: there's zero evidence of this, but that's the story, the
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: whole story of fraud coming from the right. They don't
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: care about fraud. I mean, as we'll talk about, they
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: just elected Paxton to be their representative. They representative. You know,
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: he wanted to pimoneer in Texas, somebody who's been indicted
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: for fraud. They don't care about fraud. They care about
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: the country of origin of the person who committed the fraud.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: That's all they care about. The only issue they really
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: stand by, they really get passionate about. They really care
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: about is the is immigrants. And look, there's a lot
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: of fraud out there. There's a lot of fraud. It's
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: all related to the welfare state. The welfare state exacerbates fraud.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: The welfare state almost encourages fraud. There's tons of fraud
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: out there committed by Americans, by immigrants, by people of
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: all kinds of national origins. Fod is just baked in
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: to the welfare state. You can be dishing out billions
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: and billions and billions of other people's money based on need,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: based on need, and not have fought. A new CATO study.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: I don't like these studies in particular because I don't
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: think this is the essential argument. But this isn't you know,
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: these are numbers. A new CATO study found immigrants who
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: juiced US deficits by fours teen point five trillion since
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four, not increased, reduced, That is, they paid
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: more into the system than they got from the system.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: Even undocumented immigrants were estimated to reduce deficits by at
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: least one point seven to to to trillion. So yeah,
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, what are illegal immigrants come to the United
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: States for almost all of them. Almost all immigrants come
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: to the United States and or to work in order
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: to have a better life. They pay taxes because they
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: have to, because they work, and they built stuff. They
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: create stuff. Some of them go to Silicon and become
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: grazillionaires and create whole industries and employ millions of people.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: Others become gardeners or open up a little store, or
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: become construction workers. But all of them work, and yet
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: we vilify them, and they don't create the problems. They
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: don't create the deficits. That's Americans are creating deficits. And
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: the Americans leach off of the state far more than immigrants.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: If you look at the percentage of people on welfare,
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: native born Americans a far higher percentage than immigrants or
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: first generation second generation immigrants. Hmm, all right, yeah, you
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: know this, this kind of this was a story in
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: the order. The order is wrong. But Ken Paxton won
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: yesterday by a huge mansion. This is the candidate that
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: Trump endorsed. He was running against a sitting senator who
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: had been a senator for three decades, John Kanye, who
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: was represented Texas, a conservative. Staunch conservative support of Trump's
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: but Ken Paxton is a new type of conservative, a fodster.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: That's the new kind of conservatives. I mean, like his
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: boss Donald Trump. And you know, a a a committed maga,
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: a hater of the left, the kind of person who
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: will do anything, anything to defeat the left. A twenty
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: twenty election, Denia election result, Denia and yeah, this is
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: who won the Republican primary. He will face a far
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: left James teta Rico, who is a Democrat. He will
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: face them in the November election. Democrats think they have
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: a shot at over turning Texas, but they always think
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: that we will see I mean this year they might
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: just because Trump has become a lot less popular than
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: he used to be used to be among Hispanics, so
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: the Democrats will get the Hispanic vote. Right. Well, I see,
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: there's a discussion about so security. So security is the
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: very definition of a Ponzi scheme. It's just a Ponzi
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: scheme backed by the government, so it never runs out
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: of money because the government can keep printing money. But
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: it's a pure Ponzi scheme. It has every characteristic of
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: a Ponzi scheme. You put money in that is immediately
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: taken out to pay the people who put the money
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: in before. It's not a saving account. It is. It
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: has every characteristic of a Ponzi scheme. The only differences,
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: and it's a big difference, granted because it can't go bankrupt,
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: is that the government can print money to back it up.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: McGowan Mack says, it's not a Ponzi scheme fail. Oh okay,
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, since you made such an amazing argument, such
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: an amazing argument, then how can I how can I admit?
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: How can I reject it? Thank you mac for for
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: being so persuasive. It's a Ponzi scheme with a government guarantee.
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: It's worse than the original Ponzi scheme because real Ponzi scheme,
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: like private Ponzi scheme, collapse. This one never collapses. It
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: just continues and continues to continues and bankrupts you. There's nothing,
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: there's nothing about it that has any feature of an
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: insurance policy. Check out insurance in the dictionary and whatever
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: the definition is social Security does not match it. Nothing
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: And it's not even like an insurance company and shows company.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: The money you put in gets actually put into a fund,
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: it gets invested here. The money you put in gets
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: spent on the previous people. But just a straight definition
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: of insurance. So security is not insurance, and so why
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: you know, it's just not it's it's a welfare program
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: for a middle class, welfare program, a welfare program targeted
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: the middle class. And that's why I don't never go
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: away or really hard to get rid of it. Rid
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: of it because it benefits the middle class. It benefits
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: even know, if it was a program for the poor,
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: you could somehow get rid of it because the poor
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: relatively small faction of population. But because it is a
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: welfare program for the middle class, that's a big bulk
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: of people. I mean, it's why you can't raise taxes
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: in the middle class. You can't cut the programs. You
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: can't cut Medican, you can't cut soial security because it's
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: a middle class that benefits. They can cut Medicaid, which
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: is for the poor. They can never cut Medicare because
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: that is old people who vote and who tend to
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: be middle class. We've got an anti Semite who's joined.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: How did the anti Semits find find my thing? Yeah,
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: it's a ninety year continuous Ponzi scheme. Continuous Ponzi skin
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: of course, exponential growth. You have you have today a
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: baby boom generation retiring, and you have a you know,
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: which is dramatically larger, much larger than the generation retired
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: in nineteen thirties when this was established. It seems significant. Well,
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: it's going to see shrinkage be you also have fewer
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: and fewer people paying into it. It's just the classic definition.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: The only differences. Again, the only difference is that the
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: US government can borrow money almost indefinitely or print money
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: indefinitely in order to fund it. It's like Bernie made
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: Off had a printing press for dollars. Would you not
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: call it a Ponzi scheme if you had a printing
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: press and use that money to pay off beneficiaries. Mac,
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: you got to get back to the drawing board. I'm sorry,
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: but you're spouting a lot of nonsense. Let's see. Uh so,
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: uh yeah, I'm seeing the anti say might claim that
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: what com marks was a jew because his father was
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: Jewish and then converted to Christianity. It's a conversion. It's
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: not possible because the jewish Ness is in the blood,
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: so communism is in the blood God. These people are
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: sick and stupid, a combination of both Mac you've got
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: a lot to learn. I suggest going back to the
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: drawing board. Let's see all right, um, yeah, let's do
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: the Russian wal quick. So there's a lot of there's
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: a lot of worry. You know, Russia is basically stalled
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: in Ukraine. It's going nowhere. If anything, Ukraine might be
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: gaining more grounds, I mean very little, but more ground
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: than Russia. The Spring offensive is a dud, A complete
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: and another duds. It's completely been halted. Ukraine has now
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: the capacity, with drones and its own Kruis missiles to
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: reach much of Russia, certainly all of European Russia, and
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: even into parts of Asian Russia. And you know, the
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: Kremlin is panicky. It got to the point where it's
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: so panic that it just started a bomb Kiev, massive
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: bombing of Kiev, knowing that they were killing civilians. And
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: it's interesting, isn't it fascinating that nobody is protesting the
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: killing of civilians in Kiev. Nobody is complaining to the
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: United Nations or to human rights organizations or whatever that
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: civilians are dying in Ukraine. Nobody is complaining about the
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: indiscriminate bombing of Ukraine. They just don't care. So yeah, so,
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: but that's it's an active desperation. They can't achieve anything
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: on the on the front line, so they're just going
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: to terrorize the Ukrainians. And and Putin is desperate. There's
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of now growing We've talked about this in
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: the past, growing opposition within the ranks of the leadership
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: in Russia. Uh, they are constant rumors of a coup. Uh,
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: They're constant rumors of you know, Putin not knowing where
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: to go from here, because his Ukraine campaign has been
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: a massive failure and is it a stalemate. While he
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: tried to get Trump on his side, he got Trump
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: on his side, Trump stopped supporting Ukraine. And in spite
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: of that, in spite of having Trump on his side,
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: in spite of having Trump on his side, he still
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: can't win the war. So so what's he gonna do next?
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: And in Europe there's growing fear that Putin will expand
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: or will be on the Ukraine. Now again, it's not
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: that he has a lot of capabilities, but he can
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: create havoc. He can create you know, disunity, he can
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: create real anks in Europe, and he can challenge the
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: Europeans to act I think he's fairly convinced Trump won't
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: do anything. So there is a no zero probability that
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: puts In attacks the Baltic States. Now, imagine put In
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: attacking the Baltic States. What does Trump do now? The
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: Pentagon has already announced that they're cutting forces in Europe,
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: but they're also cutting forces earmarked for Europe in inventive crisis.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: They're saying, which it's not going to send that many troops,
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: that many airplanes or anything to Europe if put In
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: invades the Baltics. And he's already setting that, he's already
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: preparing for that. He's he's talking about how Russian speakers
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: in the Baltic States being discriminated against. That Russian speakers
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: in the Baltic States, their rights are being taken away
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: from them. They're being oppressed the Russian language, they're not
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: allowed to use the Russian language, you know. And he's
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: gonna position this as just trying to protect Russian speakers.
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: He's just trying to protect the interests Russians. And he'll
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: even find some Russian speaking Latvian to say, oh, we
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: invited him in, we invited him in. It's Europe is
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: really worried. Now. I think this would be a devastating
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: mistake for Putin because I think Europe could rally even
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: without the United States and basically crush the Russians. I
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: don't think the Russians would have a chance. But Putin
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: has shown that he is willing to do things that
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: are completely stupid. What Russia wants is to threaten European security,
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: the whole architecture. He wants to break up NATO. He
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: wants Europeans to be so crippled by fear of nuclear
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: weapons that they will not come to the Baltics help.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, the AfD in Germany, which is going to
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: be the largest political party in Germany, is pro Russia.
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: What will France be like if the Marilla Penn candidate wins.
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: Right now, she claims to be anti Russia. But with
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: that change if they actually win the presidency of France,
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: you know, he might be counting on some of the
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: right wing elements within Europe rejecting europe persistence to the Baltics. Again,
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: US is not helping Ukraine. The Ukraine's ability to defend
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: itself has everything to do with its entrepreneurial spirit and
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: their ability to you know innovate in drones, not due
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: to Europe but to the United States helping them out
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: too much. Now, you know, my belief is that in
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: a real, real conflict between Europe and Russia in the Baltics,
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: and if Europe is committed to fighting, Europe would destroy
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: the Russians. I don't think there's any they have any chance,
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: primarily because Europe would have air superiority, which the Ukrainians
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: do not have, because the Upeans have F thirty fives
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: and F fifteen's, and the Europeans have the kind of
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: technology that the US has, at least versions of that
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: technology that the Ukrainians don't have access to, and that
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: the Russians don't know how to deal with. But you know,
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: it's it's a scary situation in Europe. I don't know
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: that NATO is gonna survive, certainly. I don't think it
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: survives a Russian invasion of the Baltics. But even if
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: US doesn't invade the Baltics, so clear the NATO survive. Clearly,
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: the Trump administration is making every noise that they want
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: out of NATO, and they are not committed, not committed
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: to NATO in the future, all right, let's see. Yeah,
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: this is a kind of a horrible This is from
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: a guy named Diez van Lanngehove. I guess that's Dutch.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: He writes. I've just been convicted a second time for
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: hate speech, and it is only due to a technicality
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: that that I could not immediately be sent to jail,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: to the judge's frustration. In an ironic turn of events,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: it's actually thanks to my previous prison sentence that I
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: am now still free in a physical sense. At least.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: Call me naive, But I didn't think they would take
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: it as fault, given that this precedent criminalizes many of
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: the arguments used by even the most moderate politicians critical
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: of mass migration. In February twenty twenty four, I gave
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: a lecture at the Catholic University Leuven, wherein I linked
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: mass migration to crime and curation and our quality of life.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: Every single point I made was one hundred percent the
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: truth and based on scientific evidence. Cynically, even the judge
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: that convicted me admits as much by writing in his
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: verdict quote. Even if all the statements made by van
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: Langerhov are based on scientific evidence and statistics, it makes
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: no difference to the criminal intent. Van Lgenhove is not
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: charged with spreading false information. He is charged with presenting
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: facts in a way that incites hatred against persons on
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: the ground of one or more protected criteria in the
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: anti racism law. According to the media reports quote, it
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: did not matter to the court that Vanhova was quoting
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: scientific sources. The judge argued that Van loehoven main message
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: was that a big part of the social problems like insecurity,
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: housing shortages and lowering educational standards are due to mass migration.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: Now here's the thing, you know. The reality is that
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: if you believe in free speech, if you believe in
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: freedom freedom, put aside free speech just freedom, then the
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: fact that what he said was true or false is irrelevant.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: His speech is protected. You cannot violate somebody else's rights
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: through speech. Right violation is a physical phenomena. Even fraud
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: requires a physical movement of goods and money or something.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: The speech, that's the problem. It's the fact that you're
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: accessing somebody's physical goods against their will. But in Europe
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: now you can go and give a speech that somebody
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: might view as hate for hate fur towards some group
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, think about this. The group in question are
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: really Muslim migrants. Muslim migrants have no problem speaking in
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: their mosques and in other public forums about the hatred
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: of the West, about how they want to turn the
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: West into an Islamic crop. You know Uranian, you know
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: a sub you know subsidiary, How they want Shui a
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: law every way, how they want to use jihad in
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: order to achieve it. That is not hate speech because
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: Europeans are not well. The judge call it a protected group.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: But if you just point out certain issues about Islamic culture,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: then are truth and nobody questions They truse. But it
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: could be viewed as hateful because you're pointing out negative
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: things about Islami culture. You can go to jail in Europe.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: In other words, Europe no longer protect freedom. It no
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: longer protects free speech. But free speech is a bastion
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: of freedom. If you're not protecting free speech, you're not
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: protecting freedom. If you're falls to Islam, it'll be because
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: of things like this. Now, I don't know anything about
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: Driz von Lunghov. I don't know if he's a good
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: guy or bad guy. I don't know if what he
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: said in that thing is true or false, it doesn't matter.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: He has a right to say it, just like the
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: Muslims within a certain bounds, if they're not advocating for violence,
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: have a right to say what they say. But this
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: is another example of the fact that free speech doesn't
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: exist in Europe. That Europe has become a you know,
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: a place that is hostile to liberty, hostile to freedom.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: And they can tinker around at the edges with deregulation
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: and d this and d that, and economic growth and
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: tech and AI and whatever. But this is what they
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: need to fix. Given this level of hostility towards free speech.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure Europe is fixable. All right, Let's move
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: to some human achievement stuff. I want to recommend it.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: I want to commend something. There's there's a great newsletter
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: that you can get online, get a regular email from
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: humanprogress dot org. Check out human progress dot org and
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: they put out stuff that will put a smile on
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: your face. In spite of all the bad news, in
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: some areas of the world, things up getting better. All right,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: let me just deal with this idiot. John says, as
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: an American who once juiced to remain in their homeland.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: Does that make me an anti semi? Yes, it absolutely
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: makes you an anti Semite. You're connecting of uh, you know,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: of communism to Judaism makes you an anti semi. By
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: the way, Jews are also directly linked to Christianity if
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: you want to go that route, and therefore linked, and
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: that the fountain head of all of Western civilization, because
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: there is no Christianity without Jews. The first Christian is
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: a Jew. And if you claim that that created Western soliation,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: I don't. But if you do, then the responsible forwards
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: and solizations. But so just by your selective choices of
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: what you're selecting, your stupid use of DNA and you
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: not wanting Jews to live in America, yes, that makes
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: you unequivocally an anti semi. Now if that makes you
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: feel bad, I'm glad because it should make you feel bad,
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: and it doesn't. If you don't really care, you know,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: then good riddance anyway. In the last episode of Human Progress,
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: there's this really, really good interview with a guy named
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: Jean dut kier wits can't pronounce his name whatever, and
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: the topic is food. Food. I agree, the Greeks and
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: Romans created Western civilization actually, particularly the Greeks, the Greeks,
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: the pagan Greeks. Western civilization is a pagan civilization. But yeah,
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: I agree with that. I can't blame that on the Jews.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: Oh God, all right, let's see. Yes, So this Human
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: Progress podcast, I'm going to just block this guy because really,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, a few things that don't tolerate, and anti
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: Semitis is one of them. Anyway, this, this episode of Few,
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: this episode that just came out of Human Progress is
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: about a new book that has come out called Feed
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: the People. Why Industrial Food is Good and How we
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: can make it even better. And one of the great
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: human achievements of the twentieth and twenty first century is
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: industrial food. I mean, the reality is that the American
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: food system today is unbelievably abundant. It produces delicious I'm reading,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: I'm quoting the guy, delicious and potentially very nutritious food
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: at scale within a relatively strong in spite of the
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: strong regulatorian fime. I mean, they might be problems, but
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: people are not starving, and people, if they eat half decently,
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: are getting all their vitamins. Now, there's this argument about
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: ultra processed food, but that's ridiculous. Plant based burgers, ultra
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: processed food. Baby formula is ultra processed food, highly processed.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: Vegetables and fruits like foson and all highly processed. A
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: protein shake that you make is a highly processed food.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: You're processing it. I mean, sure, there's too much sugar
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: in American diet. There's you know, probably too much of
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: certain fats. Maybe there's too little omega thre's. Maybe there's
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: too much salt, all kinds of stuff, right, But that's
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: a choice you make. The fact is that when you
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: walk into a supermarket, a grocery store in America, I mean,
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: the choices are amazing. Everything is available, the most nutrious
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: food in Yeah, a lot of junk, but the junk
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: is a choice you make. People can eat food from
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: all over the world, can eat fruit and vegetables all
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: year round, and a lot of fruit processing actually improves nutrition.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: They add vitamins into food, they might add protein into
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: a food, they might they add stuff, They make it better.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: Here's the statistics he uses. He says, in early nineteen hundreds,
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: something like seventy percent of all children in New York
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: City public schools suffered from rickets, which is a vitamin
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: D deficiency. Right when Unit States drafted for World War One,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: again I'm reading from the transcript of this, as many
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: as thirty percent of all drafted men were rejected from
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: service because of physical unfitness, in part due to malnutrition.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: You know. Vitamin B three deficiency, for example, killed hundreds
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: of thousands of people in the South. So adding vitamins
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: was a big way in which a lot of this.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, food has gotten food has gotten better,
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: more nutritious, more abundant, and now we the people have
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: to make better choices. But the food companies, industrial food
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: are amazing. And think about the fact that during COVID,
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: with supply global supply chains disrupt it and all that,
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: we still got food. Food still made it. So yes,
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: you know, and the problem we suffer today is not malnutrition,
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: it's obesity. It looks like I Feed the People is
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: available on Amazon. It's a book I intend to read.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: It sounds interesting. So but that that is a massive
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: human achievement. Food didn't just food doesn't just grow in trees.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: The food industry is something that had to be created.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: I've read it quite a bit about the meat packing
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: industry and the attack on the meat packing industry, both
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: in the culture and by anti trust and the innovations
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: that the meat packers embraced and the new products that
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: they brought to market. But in every category there is
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: there are entrepreneurs, there are business leaders, they are scientists,
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: they're engineers, they are farmers, cowboys, there are people who
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: make this industry work. And it's it's a it's a
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: it's a wonder. It's it's a it's an amazing, amazing wonder.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: You know, every time you walk into supermarket, you should
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: be blown away by kind of what you're experiencing. And
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: it doesn't exist even today in many parts of the world.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: All right, let's see, here's another one from from Cancer Research.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: Five cancers that used to be death sentences, pancreatic, glio blastoma,
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: triple negative breast renal, and melanoma. Right, the medium survival
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: for metastatic patriotic cancer, it's still six months for gliblastoma
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: fifteen months. We now, though, have personalized mRNA vaccines that
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: are producing remissions in some of these patients, not just
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: a response, not just as slowing down, but actually remissions.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: Biointics pain creatic cancer vaccine has six year follow up data,
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: eight of sixteen patients who mounted an immune response are
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: still alive for cancer that kills ninety five percent of
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: the patients within five years. That's incredible. So we now
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: actually have immunotherapies, thanks among other things, to mr NA vaccines,
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: but also other technologies that actually can attack and respond
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: to cancers that just a short period of time ago
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: we viewed as untreatable or treatable, but death was just
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: a matter of, you know, a short time. Biotech continues
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: to move forward, continues to improve, and a big part
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: of how cancer is being treated is shifting from bombodying
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: these cells, these cancer cells with chemotherapy with chemicals that
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: are also devastating to the rest of the body, to
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: now using the body's own immune response system to attack
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: only the cancer cells and therefore sparing the rest of
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: the body. So we're getting really, really good at getting
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: the body to kill its own cancer. This is much
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: of this is done by big pharma that so many
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: so glad to hate. Here's one that is stolen very early,
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: but the results are pretty stunning. This I guess this
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: was done on mice, so though the story I read
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: about it was pretty amazing because it never mentions that
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: the result is on mice. You read the whole thing
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: and you think this is about humans, and it turns
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: out it's all about mice anyway. Researchers at Texas A
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: and M have developed a nasal spray that appears to
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: reverse brain aging by calming inflammation and restoring the brain's
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: energy systems. After just two doses, memory and cognitive function
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: improved for months, raising hopes for future treatments targeting dementia
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: and brain fog. So it's all about inflammation. This drug
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: somehow reduced is that inflammation in the brain. By doing so,
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: it improved brain cell function, but also reverse this energy thing,
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: stimulated energy growth and reversed real brain decay. I mean,
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: this is amazing. We'll see if it's replicated in human beings.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: But it sounds like it's a very simple spray. You know,
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: they don't expect to have big problems in terms of safety.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: It's just a matter of whether it actually generates the
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: same results in a human brain. So a lot of
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: progress I'm seeing lately in cancer We've talked about that,
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: but also in Alzheimer's and brain there seems to be
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: a lot of new paradigms being tested, a lot of
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: new approaches to things like Alzheimer's that are being tested,
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: and a lot of progress being made, so which is
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: I think incredible exciting. It's also true, by the way,
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: that even without many of these treatments, the probability that
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: you will get that you will get Alzheimer's, let's say,
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: at age eighty five, has dramatically gone down over the
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: last few decades. That is, in the eighties, an eighty
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: five year old had a much, much, much higher probability
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: to get dementia than an eighty five year old today.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: And you're still likely to get to dementia but twenty
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: years later. So whether that might be because of improvements
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: in you know, nutrition, or more people exercising, or more
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: people using their mind well into old age, I don't know,
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: but the statistics are astounding. You see these graphs of
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: the likelihood of getting dementia, and the point in time
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: where you're going to get it every decade has been
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: pushed further into the future. And this is without any
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: real drugs that treated, without anything, it's just kind of
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: the few basic lifestyle changes that people engaged in that
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: supposedly nobody really knows why I'm making a difference. So again,
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: good news, good news out there, and all attributed to
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: the human mind and human achievements. All right, thank you guys.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of you value the human achievements segments,
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: so please support it with stickers with super chats. That
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: was the news for this Wednesday, May twenty seventh. Well,
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: now go to the super chats. Let me thank some
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: of the stickers. We've got Greg Lewis, we got Mary Ellen,
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: and we got rollers. So not a lot of stickers today,
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: it's an opportunity to do a sticker to support the
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: show right now as they finish up the human Achievement segment.
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: If that's something you like in particular, show that segment
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: some love with some stickers. Were fine for the first hour,
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: but really well into the second hour. So we are
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty dollars short of that second hour goal,
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: so please consider supporting the show. Thomas, thank you for
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: the sticker, and Euven says, you know, just did a
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: a for the he says for the achievement section, thank you.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: So yeah, keep it coming, and let's let's try to
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: get close to that goal as much as we can
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: all right. Reminder, ocon is coming up. Ocon is the
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: Objective's Conference. It's a big important Objective's confidence of the year.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: It's going to be in New Orleans. I think it's
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: five days. It's you know in New Orleans is a
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: great city, has some great jazz, it has amazing food
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: you and of course the conference itself has amazing speakers,
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: the permanent Objectivist speakers teaching today, and you'll get Greg Slamiri,
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: you know called Gatte, the philosophers, and many of our
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: young people will do We'll do a variety of different lectures.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: I'm giving a talk connecting the Declaration of Independence and productiveness,
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: which is kind of the theme given the twenty and
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: fifty years to the signing of the Declaration. So I hope
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: to see you guys at OCONN. You can if you

• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: so a residence socialist who's here every day, committed to
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: listening to me. For some bizarre reason, rights capitalism puts
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: the food what is profitable, not what is nutritious. Yeah,
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: that's true. But what's amazing about that is you can
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: find the most nutritious food in the world in American
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: supermarkets because it's profitable because some of us are willing
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: to pay for it. And yes, you can find some
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: very not nutritious food, although none of it will kill you,
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: literally kill you. None of it's poison because a lot
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: of Americans choose that kind of food. So the beauty
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: of capitalism is you get what you're willing to pay for,
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: and you can get incredibly nutritious food relatively low prices,
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: and incredibly unnutritionless food and relatively low prices. And you you,
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: not a bureaucrat, not somebody an expert. You get to choose.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: And by the way, what is nutritious? What is nutritious?
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: Who says what is nutritious? I mean you would expect science,
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: but science is often wrong, and the government is often wrong,
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: and scientists disagree. So you get to follow the science
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: that you think makes sense. Is saturated fat good for
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: you bad for you. You know exactly what's in the cereal.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: They are labels with a great detail of everything. I
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: look at the labels all the time. It's incredibly valuable.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: I don't eat. I try to minimize my sugar intake.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: It's easy. I just look at how much you're good
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: it is. And you can find stuff with very little sugar,
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: or with sugo alternatives, or with no sugar. I mean,
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: it's ridiculous to claim that you don't know what's in
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: the food. Everything is posted everything, and if you don't
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: believe the posting, there's a bunch of organizations online that
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: review food, that tell you what's good and what's not,
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: and what's accurate and what's not. They do that for vitamins,
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: they do it for supplements, they do it for food,
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: they do it for everything. Whole Foods indeed is pricier
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: than Kroger, But Roger still has fruits and vegetables and
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: a bunch of healthy food. You can find it all day.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: You can find organics everywhere, as if organics is better.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: But if you believe organics is better, great, you can
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: find it in every supermarket in the United States. But
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: I bean to socialist supermarkets where the state tells you
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: which type of ghruel to eat on Mondays and which
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: type of gruel to eat on Tuesdays. We have capitalism,
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: at least a little bit of it, So we have
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: variety and you you God forbid, you get to choose
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: what to eat anyway. That was one of our sponsors,

  Speaker 1: a sticker with question questions a great because then I
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: talk about what you want me to talk about. Stickers
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: are just simple way you know I'm delivering a good
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: you're providing a payment for that good, So please consider
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: supporting the show by pressing the dollar button at the
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: bottom of the chat here and making a making a contribution.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: What was I going to do here? All right? Let's
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: Michael Michael one hundred dollars, Thank you, Michael. Mum Donnie
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: accidentally made the best argument against rent control. His proposed
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: exemptions to a citywide citywide rent freeze amounts to an
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: implicit admission that price controls suppress housing supply. If freezing
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: rents solved affordability, no exemptions would be necessary. Yes, but
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: of course mum Donnie wants to have it all. He
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: wants to acknowledge that, yes, we need more supply, but
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: also freezing rent will also help. So he wants all
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: the levers. He wants to appeal to all the different
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: segments out there. Right. His saying that we're going to
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: build two hundred thousand units appeals to the yes in
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: my backyard group, the pro progress democrats. His rent control
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: advocacy appeals to all his socialist friends. His commitment to
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: basically taking property away from private owners and giving it
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: to non for profits appeals to socialist let's socialize private
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: property he wants to appeal to everybody, and since he's
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: a mystic of the muscle is what Irant called socialist
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 1: mystics of muscles. He doesn't know what a work and
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: what doesn't, so he throws everything at it except freedom,
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: except actual freedom. But yes, the best argument against her
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: in control is it doesn't work, and it destroys value,
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: and it's a violation. The best argument is a violation
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: of rights. It's the violation of the rights of the owner,
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: and as a consequence, it also reduces incentives of owners
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: to build new property. But essentially, it basically says there's
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: no such thing as private property in New York City.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: The state can control your property. It can tell you
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: how much you can charge on it. It not only taxes it,
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: but it also limits what you can do with it.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: That is basically the negation of private property. And that's
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: ultimately what they're really after. They want abolishment of private property.
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: And they can't just do it because it's constitutionally protected.
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: But they can chip away at it, they can make
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: it irrelevant and look, rent control is direct, direct, massive
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: assault and private property all right, James Altruism is the
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: process of wrapping cruelty in moral superiority. I can understand
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: it's a motivation for anger or lashing out, But cruelty,
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: particularly towards good people I could never understand. Well, why
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: what makes somebody a good person? Altruism would say that
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: would make somebody a good person is the willingness to
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: sacrifice for their fellow man. And the more remote the
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: person they sacrifice to, the more unknown that person is,
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: and the more the sacrifice suffers, the better the person is.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: So if you're not such a sacrificer, then for them,
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: you're not a good person. Cool to you makes completely
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: another sense. So yeah, doesn't surprise me at all that
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: altruists are really really cool, really really cool. They also haters,
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: And if you hate you hate life, then you hate
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: good people, good people as we would define good people, productive,
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: successful people, honest, productive people. They hate those people. The
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: repudiation of the so called value of altruism Liam Why
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: can't people in the West see the alternative to the
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: left other than fascism? Is iron Ran still a secret? Yeah,
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: to some extent, She's still a secret. But the problem
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: is that people in the West are all conditioned by altruism,
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: so when they look at the left. They see a
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: form of altruism they're rejecting, but they can't think outside
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: of the altruism box. So they find a form of
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: altruism that seemingly is oppert to sit from the one
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: they're rejecting. But it's still all altruism, so it feels comfortable,
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 1: it feels at home. To break that pattern, you have
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: to break altruism. You have to challenge and question altruism
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: in every way possible. This is why it is not enough.
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: It is not enough to make economic arguments. You have
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: to make the moral arguments, and you have to denounce
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: altruism is the destroyer of the modern world. And that's
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: exactly what it is. Papa Campbell says, ever been to
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: Marabella Spain? Yes, I always pictured Europe as dreary and
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: quasi socialist. Were stagnant, old infrastructure and no vibrancy. But
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: there's some definitely flourishing areas where rich people are allowed
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 1: to operate. I don't think of Europe as that at all.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, sure, you know Spain is very socialist. It's
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: run by a socialist prime minister, a corrupt socialist prime minister.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: But if you go to Barcelona, there's plenty of vicency,
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: amazing restaurants that only the rich can afford, you know,
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: beautiful stores, a real devotion to preserving their historical buildings,
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: which are really interesting and fun. You know, there's a
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 1: lot of people in Bresselonna hate tourists, but a lot
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: of people make money off of tourism, so they like them.
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: Marbella is beautiful and you know, a playground for the rich.
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: But is is Paris dreary? I mean maybe parts of Paris.
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: London's not dreary, certainly not parts of London and not drewy.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: Is Amsterdam drewy? Not on a nice sunny day. You know,
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: in the areas of ampsdem there's a real buzz, there's
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: a real movement the beautiful boutique stores. Is Berlin, is
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: Copenhagen is? I mean? Is Hamburg is? Uh? You don't
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: go to Sweden, which is in many ways has more
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: economic freedom than the United States. Is it dreary? And
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: I mean maybe because of the weather, But no, I
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: don't view of them as drewy at all. There is stagnation,
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: but most of that stignation is outside of the main cities,
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: and it's it's hard to observe that stagnation unless you
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: visit people's homes and you see how small they are,
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 1: and you notice what they actually can afford and what
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 1: they can't afford, and how relatively rich Americans are. But
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: I find view to I think that the there's lots
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: of vibrancy in Europe. As a visitor, I wouldn't want
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: to live there, But as a visitor, yeah, so I don't.
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think the going there with
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: the approach it's going to be dreary is the wrong
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: approach to think about the art you can see and
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: all the fun you can have in European places. Nature
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: of if Trump designed tomorrow for health reasons, what will JD.
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: Vans do? You know? I don't know. It really is
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: hard to tell exactly what he will do. But the
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: the the the language around President's statements would change significantly,
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: and it would become a lot more, a lot less crazy,
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: a lot less all over the place, a lot more disciplined,
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: and a lot more focused on nationalistic projects, and a
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: lot more anti immigration, right, I mean, I think the
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: people around Trump much more anti immigration than Trump himself is.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: He would kind of deal with the Ranians very quickly.
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: He would get out of the middle least he would
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: leave NATO, I you know. But in terms of internally,
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: he would boost the welfare state some more fraud not less.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, think about the whole welfare state is one
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: big fraud if you will. So it would be Yeah,
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: it would be interesting. I mean I haven't really thought
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: through about what actual positions he would take on different
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 1: legislations and so on, but his legislative record is supporting
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: a lot of what Elizabeth Warren wants to do on
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: the economic side, and a nationalistic, anti immigration and withdraw
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: from the world type policies. Michael says New York gets
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: exactly what economists predict, less construction, deteriorading housing stock, and
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: brutal competition for the shrinking number of apartments outside the system. Yeah,
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: so rent will go up, quality of apartments in particularly
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: the ones under red control would go down, and less
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: construction because why would anybody want to build in New
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 1: York when basically the New York government will not respect
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: your property right on what you build and will be
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: eager to confiscate Tessa reading East of Eden because I
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: have never picked up a Steinbeck plus a series is
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: coming your twenty dollars. Thoughts on the book or author, Well,
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think his books are really interesting and
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed reading them, enjoyed watching the movies of Steinbeck stories.
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: He is a real socialist. He's very anti capitalist, and
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: his whole point is to describe the plight of farm
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: workers in California and so on. You know, it is
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: so an author with some talent naturalistic. He lacks kind
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: of a romantic flair, but you know, ideologically clearly a
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: socialist writer who is trying to undermine, undermine capitalism. Now,
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: I haven't read any of his books in a long
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: long time. You might want to pick up the Romantic Manifesto.
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 1: Heinrand I think has maybe a little bit to say
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 1: about Steinbeck in the Romantic Manifesto. All right, not your
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: average algorithm. If you're lonely when you're alone, you're in
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: bad company. That's pretty good. Yeah, I don't get loneliness
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: right because or bored him. There's always some stuff to do.
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: There's always stuff to do that's fun and exciting. Is
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: rant popular in China or Japan? Well, it depends what
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: you mean by popular. They are Japanese who read Iran.
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: Her books have sold fairly well in Japan. There's a
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: group of Japanese objectivists. There's somewhat hindered by the fact
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: that only a few of them speak good English or
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 1: read in English, so they're limited to what is in translation,
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 1: but quite a bit as in translation now found headed
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: Atlas Shrug the Virtual of Selfishness. I think it was
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: just romantic manifesto. It was just translated. I actually did
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: speaking to her in Tokyo where the theme was a
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: romantic manifesto aesthetics, Ironman's view of aesthetics, so that was
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of fun. In China, her books sold pretty
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: well in the twenty teens. I don't know since then,
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: and there was a buzz about iron Rand in parts
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: of among Chinese intellectuals in the twenty teens, in the
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: mid to late twenty teens, but I don't know what
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 1: the situation is today. And all the books, by the way,
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: were translated into Chinese, almost all the books. Richard says,
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: voting for Human Achievement segment of your show, keep improving.
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: Thank you appreciate it. Richard Harrison says, thanks for showing
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 1: us the call yesterday. That was a beautiful machine. I
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 1: got a lot of slack for a lot of harassment
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: for that. You should see my comment section under the
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: video I did on that people don't like that car,
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 1: and there's a lot of like Ferrari stock really went
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 1: down a lot when they unleashed the car. So I
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: think it's beautiful, bit I mean the minority. It's important
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: to remember that the world is full of beautiful things,
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: no matter how many ideas are in it. Absolutely, thank
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 1: you Harison. And by the way, I didn't mention it yesterday,
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 1: but I should have. That car was designed by Johnny Ives.
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 1: Johnny Ives, the designer of the iPhone, Steve Jobs's main
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 1: design guy at Apple who ultimately left Apple and saw
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 1: his own design from This is what the Apple car
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: could have looked like. Now I regret that it wasn't
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 1: and there's no Apple car. Maybe then it could have
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 1: looked like this and being affordable, but now it's a Ferrari's.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: It's not affordable. But that's Johnny Ives, and Johnny Ives
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: does beautiful things, Okay, Havison says, speaking of beautiful things. Friday,
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: I'll be releasing the Waimo jig By feed rate command,
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 1: which will be a fusion of Irish folk music with techno.
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 1: Whoa though the folk dominates about this weimo thing cool?
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 1: I like weaimo. I'm not sure. I don't like techno,
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 1: so I'm glad the Irish folk dominates. Jacob. I see
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: agreements that arguments that Ukraine drone strikes are more effective
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 1: now due to better targeting data provided by US as
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 1: payback for Iran thoughts. Maybe, but I don't know. It's
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 1: quite possible. But it's hard for me to believe, actually,
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 1: because a lot of the attacks of being on oil infrastructure,
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: and Trump doesn't want Russia's oil infrastructure tom because he
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 1: wants he loosened the sanctions on Russian oil because he
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 1: wants all prices to come down. So hard for me
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 1: to believe that that is the cause. But maybe Romans
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 1: should a miniicareist world government enforce the same law everywhere
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 1: on Earth, impact on criminal persecution, property, title, military. They
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be a world government. I don't like the terminicaarist.
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: I think it's a bad term. But they shouldn't be
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: a world government. So you want competition about in different
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 1: geographic areas, about how to implement individual rights, the protection
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 1: of individual rights it's not obvious, it's not simple and straightforward.
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 1: You need you need some trial and error, particularly on
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: new stuff, so you need a variety of jurisdictions. So no,
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 1: I do not want the world government plus the world government.
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 1: If it goes bad, there's no way to escape to
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: you need escape. Valves Romans says, could you explain the
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: Austrian criticism of communism based on economic calculation problem? Yeah,
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 1: I mean the basic idea here is that there's no
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 1: way for a central planner to figure out to calculate
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 1: how much of any good to produce, and which good
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 1: to produce, and which goods not to produce, and when
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 1: to innovate and how to innovate. Because he can't calculate,
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: he can't figure out what people actually want and what
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 1: they're willing to pay for it, or how important something
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: actually is to them. What price system does is it
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 1: tells you how many people want something, how much they're
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 1: willing to pay for in other words, how important it
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 1: is to them. And that gets integrated and the capitalism
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 1: into a system that manufactures the right goods at the
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 1: right time. There's no way for a machine, or for bureaucracy,
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 1: or for anybody to do that because they don't have insight.
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: They don't have any any possibility of insight into the
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 1: value hierarchys of individuals and their willingness to expend or
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 1: not expend money on any particular good that can only
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 1: be evaluated according to the action based on what they
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 1: actually do, which is how market system works. All right, guys,
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 1: thank you, Thanks to all the superchedd has, thanks to
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 1: all the stick of people, WCZN says supporting good news.
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 1: Thank you, WCZN, Thank you guys. I will see you guys.
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 1: Today's Wednesday, Tomorrow three pm East Coast time, and Friday,
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 1: said day, Sunday and Monday, so we're going to go
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: all of this month. The rest of the month. We
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 1: have a show every single day. On Sunday, it'll be
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 1: me and Nicos talking about I think the postmoderns. I'll
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 1: post up on that later and let you know tomorrow.
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 1: And then on Saturday, I'm probably going to be doing
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 1: a show on nuclear power. On nuclear power, so that's
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 1: a sponsored show by Richards. So I will see you
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 1: all tomorrow. By everybody,
