- 0:36Speaker 1: Let's see how the uh, how the video goes, the
- 0:40Speaker 1: video and audio goes. Right now, I see some jumpiness. Uh,
- 0:46Speaker 1: any commentary anybody on the chat, Uh, just verify that
- 0:50Speaker 1: the video is good or not? Is it breaking up?
- 0:52Speaker 1: I'm seeing some breakup.
- 1:00Speaker 2: Anyway.
- 1:01Speaker 1: Let let me know.
- 1:02Speaker 2: Let me know in the chat if you've got it's jumpy. Pink.
- 1:05Speaker 2: Picture is a little jumpy.
- 1:09Speaker 1: God, alright, give me mm hmm. Let's see what's that?
- 1:31Speaker 2: That is that?
- 1:38Speaker 1: Alright? Uh? Pictures multi dimensional video artifacts and sounds seems low.
- 1:46Speaker 1: Sound seems low, guys. It sounds sound like an increase. Alright?
- 1:53Speaker 1: Is that bad a sound? But you're still getting jumpiness? God, Okay,
- 2:03Speaker 1: video will disappear. Okay, let's see maybe it will disappear again.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Let's see if that makes a difference. All Right, we
- 2:37Speaker 1: don't have to just live with it. I'm not sure
- 2:42Speaker 1: what to do about the jumpiness of the video. But
- 2:45Speaker 1: I will have to deal with it before before we
- 2:50Speaker 1: uh hmm, if I travel next week, which is a
- 2:56Speaker 1: longer triple okay, so I think so joining me as
- 3:01Speaker 1: I said, I'm in Los Angeles traveling. Sound seems okay.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Videos jump ye, flashing, but tolerable video back. But let's
- 3:11Speaker 1: jumpy who didn't pray for the Wi Fi gods? Audio
- 3:15Speaker 1: but no video? For a second, there there was no video. Yes,
- 3:19Speaker 1: I disconnected, hoping that that would help. I see it hasn't.
- 3:26Speaker 1: Let me try one more thing once that. Let me
- 3:29Speaker 1: try one more thing, trying to get a video will
- 3:40Speaker 1: disconnect for a second. Well, do we have video back? No,
- 3:58Speaker 1: we do not have video back? Okay, let me just
- 4:04Speaker 1: do this, right. I think that has solved it. Good, Okay,
- 4:19Speaker 1: I know what to do as I travel. That's good.
- 4:21Speaker 1: I'm glad. I'm glad I caught that. All right, this
- 4:26Speaker 1: will work for sure? And it worked all right. I
- 4:28Speaker 1: apologize everybody for that. And so let's jump in to
- 4:34Speaker 1: today's topics. As as I think you'll know. You know
- 4:40Speaker 1: the UK. In Britain, football is a big deal football
- 4:45Speaker 1: in the sense of soccer football matches.
- 4:49Speaker 2: It's almost like a religion.
- 4:50Speaker 1: In the United Kingdom, people people are dedicated fans, They
- 4:56Speaker 1: become incredibly passionate and so football games you get some violence,
- 5:02Speaker 1: and the police are well trained and pretty effective at
- 5:06Speaker 1: shutting down the violence. The games get very roudy, but
- 5:09Speaker 1: the rowdiness for the most part, again with the exception
- 5:12Speaker 1: of when it gets violence, is all done in good fun.
- 5:16Speaker 1: As English football fans of roudy, what can we say,
- 5:24Speaker 1: well not, I guess when it comes to Israelis or
- 5:29Speaker 1: Jews visiting. It was supposed to be there's going to
- 5:34Speaker 1: be a match between Aston Villa, which is the team
- 5:38Speaker 1: locally in Birmingham. Birmingham is the second largest city in
- 5:44Speaker 1: the United Kingdom. There's supposed to be a match between
- 5:48Speaker 1: Aston Villa and Macabi tel Aviv. Tel Aviv team as
- 5:51Speaker 1: part of I get the European European Club League or
- 5:57Speaker 1: whatever it's called, and.
- 6:02Speaker 2: The City of Birmingham.
- 6:03Speaker 1: Has decided that Tel Aviv fans will not be permitted
- 6:09Speaker 1: to come to the stadium and watch the game. This
- 6:16Speaker 1: is a statement by Ayub Khan, who is an MP
- 6:21Speaker 1: Member of Parliament from Birmingham. He says, I welcome the
- 6:24Speaker 1: Safety Advisory Group's decision. This is the Safety Advisory Group
- 6:28Speaker 1: in Birmingham to advise the Makabi Tel Aviv fans will
- 6:31Speaker 1: not be permitted to attend Villa Park on the sixth
- 6:35Speaker 1: of February, sorry of November. From the moment that the
- 6:39Speaker 1: match was announced, it was clear that there were latent
- 6:42Speaker 1: safety risks, latent safety risks that even our capable security
- 6:46Speaker 1: and police authorities would not be able to fully manage.
- 6:50Speaker 1: With so much hostility and uncertainty around the match, it
- 6:54Speaker 1: was only right to take drastic measures. Sports entertainment events
- 7:00Speaker 1: should be enjoyed by all, regardless of their race, ethnicity
- 7:04Speaker 1: and background, but there are rare instances where the political
- 7:08Speaker 1: dynamics surrounding such spectacles cannot be ignored and where drastic
- 7:13Speaker 1: action must be taken to ensure the safety of fans, players,
- 7:16Speaker 1: staff and local residents. I'm glad that this is real,
- 7:20Speaker 1: that this reality there's been acknowledged in this issue, and
- 7:23Speaker 1: I am grateful to the various teams and everybody else
- 7:28Speaker 1: for their work to listen to our communities concerned. Now
- 7:31Speaker 1: is the time to ease tension, set aside political differences
- 7:34Speaker 1: and focus on football once more so. The solution to
- 7:38Speaker 1: latent problems I guess which I guess you would think
- 7:44Speaker 1: are caused by the fans of Maccabi tel Aviv. I mean,
- 7:47Speaker 1: I think every this suggests that the fans of Maccabi
- 7:50Speaker 1: tel Aviv were going to come to Birmingham and riot
- 7:55Speaker 1: and demonstrate and put everybody at risk. And yeah, I mean,
- 7:59Speaker 1: if they're Maccabi tel Aviv fans are that dangerous and
- 8:02Speaker 1: that disruptive, then maybe they should be banned for the
- 8:08Speaker 1: sake of the safety of Birmingham. But of course that
- 8:14Speaker 1: is not the problem. The problem is not at all
- 8:20Speaker 1: the fans of.
- 8:26Speaker 2: Macabi tel Aviv.
- 8:29Speaker 1: The problem is thugs, Muslim thugs supposedly or supposes thugs
- 8:40Speaker 1: who would hunt down the fans from Tel Aviv. The
- 8:46Speaker 1: problem is that the Muslim community in Boomingham is not
- 8:51Speaker 1: willing to let fans from Israel come to participate in
- 8:59Speaker 1: a in a football game. Ikbai Muhammad, another member of
- 9:07Speaker 1: Parliament in Britain, says thank you to all who put
- 9:11Speaker 1: the safety of aston Villa fans. I mean, yeah, I
- 9:14Speaker 1: mean Tel Aviv fans. We're going to beat up the
- 9:16Speaker 1: aston Villa fans. That's why they're coming to the UK
- 9:18Speaker 1: to beat up the opposition. Fans. Really thank you for
- 9:24Speaker 1: putting in the safety of Aston Villa fans, Birmingham residents
- 9:26Speaker 1: and the British public above the Zionists and political pressures
- 9:32Speaker 1: to let Israeli hooligans and terrorists run riot in our country.
- 9:39Speaker 1: I mean, these are members of parliament. These are not
- 9:41Speaker 1: just just you know, arbitrary people. These a member of
- 9:47Speaker 1: the British Parliament. These are lying bastards, lying monsters. I'm
- 9:55Speaker 1: a copy of tel Avi fans. We're not going to
- 9:57Speaker 1: come and riot in Birmingham anymore than they rioted in
- 10:02Speaker 1: Amsterdam last year when Primelli Muslim hooligans ran them through
- 10:09Speaker 1: the streets and beat them up. And these suligans been
- 10:15Speaker 1: shown and documented were planning these attacks on mccambi tel
- 10:20Speaker 1: Avi fans. It wasn't anything that mcby Telov fans said
- 10:23Speaker 1: or did. This was planned. It was a Jew hunt.
- 10:26Speaker 1: They were hunting Jews in the streets of Amsterdam. That
- 10:30Speaker 1: hadn't been done since the nineteen forties. And now we've
- 10:36Speaker 1: got members of parliament, Muslim members of parliament blaming the victim,
- 10:43Speaker 1: blaming the victim, blaming the Jew. And the solution is
- 10:48Speaker 1: a solution that England knows well from its very very
- 10:51Speaker 1: distant history, and that is the easiest way to have peace,
- 10:56Speaker 1: The easiest way to not suffer the consequence of anti
- 11:00Speaker 1: Semitic violence is to get rid of the Jews. I mean,
- 11:06Speaker 1: if we just banned the Jews, if we don't let
- 11:08Speaker 1: the Jews in, then we won't have any anti Semitism
- 11:11Speaker 1: and we won't have any violence against Jews because there
- 11:14Speaker 1: won't be any Jews. I mean, this was the solution
- 11:18Speaker 1: in the or was it fifteenth century I think, where
- 11:22Speaker 1: Jews were banned from England for two hundred years. Two
- 11:24Speaker 1: hundred years there were no Jews in England. When Shakespeare
- 11:27Speaker 1: wrote in the sixteenth century about Shylock, the Jewish money
- 11:31Speaker 1: in Lander, he had never met a Jew in his
- 11:32Speaker 1: life because there were no Jews in London. So instead
- 11:38Speaker 1: of dealing with those who would inflict violence, instead of
- 11:44Speaker 1: protecting people coming to celebrate and to enjoy a football game,
- 11:49Speaker 1: the solution is to blame the victim and to ban
- 11:55Speaker 1: the victim from participating. Yeah, I mean, there'd be no
- 11:59Speaker 1: anti Semitism in the world, there'd be no hatred of
- 12:02Speaker 1: Jews in the world. If we just got rid of
- 12:04Speaker 1: all the Jews. That's the solution. I mean, that's the
- 12:07Speaker 1: solution people have been advocating for.
- 12:09Speaker 2: A very very, very long time.
- 12:12Speaker 1: I'm sure, by the way, that none of this has
- 12:14Speaker 1: anything to do with the fact that a Birmingham Islamic preacher,
- 12:18Speaker 1: Usta Rashid has told his followers that the Muslims of
- 12:22Speaker 1: Birmingham should show no mercy to the football fans from
- 12:27Speaker 1: Tel Aviv and that the you know, and as a consequence,
- 12:33Speaker 1: the British police has decided they can't protect them. So
- 12:38Speaker 1: the British police can no longer protect people inside Britain
- 12:43Speaker 1: because they fear the wrath the violence of Islamists. Now
- 12:52Speaker 1: somebody like this, you know, you could say, somebody calling
- 12:56Speaker 1: on his followers to show no mercy to the football
- 12:59Speaker 1: fans of Televie. That sounds like incitement of violence to me,
- 13:02Speaker 1: and a basis by which this person should be arrested.
- 13:05Speaker 1: I mean, I know that the British police are very
- 13:08Speaker 1: very busy arresting people for putting up British flags and
- 13:12Speaker 1: arresting people for criticizing Muslims and Islam, you know, but
- 13:21Speaker 1: actual incitement for violence, you know, nobody cares. The bits
- 13:28Speaker 1: don't care anymore. Another mom in Birmingham is teaching how
- 13:34Speaker 1: to stone a woman to death. You know, which is
- 13:38Speaker 1: the appropriate you know, according to Islam, or the appropriate
- 13:42Speaker 1: punishment for things like adultery and I'm sure many other crimes.
- 13:46Speaker 1: But this is Islamism complete, fully formed, being taught, being preached,
- 13:55Speaker 1: being articulated, being incited inside the United Kingdom. And this
- 14:02Speaker 1: is what the UK government will do nothing about. Instead,
- 14:07Speaker 1: let's just banned the Jews that don't allow the Jews in.
- 14:09Speaker 1: That's much simpler solution. Then actually deal with the problem.
- 14:14Speaker 1: But the reality is that as long as you don't
- 14:16Speaker 1: deal with this problem, it's not just the Jews, it's women,
- 14:20Speaker 1: it's Christians, it's everybody who not only will not convert
- 14:26Speaker 1: to Islam, but will not follow these bastards interpretation of
- 14:31Speaker 1: that religion. This is a clear enemy from within. I've
- 14:38Speaker 1: talked about what needs to be done about this, but
- 14:40Speaker 1: this needs to be taken super seriously and these people
- 14:44Speaker 1: need to be If they're inciting violence, they need to
- 14:48Speaker 1: be in jail. If they're advocating for a philosophy, an
- 14:52Speaker 1: ideology and a movement that the United Kingdom should declare
- 14:56Speaker 1: it's at war with it, they should all be deported,
- 15:00Speaker 1: They should all be gone from there.
- 15:01Speaker 2: They shouldn't be a single one of them left. You
- 15:04Speaker 2: if you, you.
- 15:06Speaker 1: Know, cannot resist violence against supporters of an Israeli team.
- 15:13Speaker 1: If you're going to engage in that violence, you have
- 15:16Speaker 1: no place in the UK. Arrest them and if they're
- 15:19Speaker 1: not citizens, deport them. If they are citizens, throwing them
- 15:22Speaker 1: in jail for a long time, they'll stop, they'll stop
- 15:25Speaker 1: rioting at football. If you if the violence actually results
- 15:30Speaker 1: in long sentences.
- 15:35Speaker 2: I mean, this is this is.
- 15:40Speaker 1: This is the challenge that the UK faces right now,
- 15:43Speaker 1: and really all of your faces right now. I mean,
- 15:46Speaker 1: the reality is that there are Islamists in the midst
- 15:50Speaker 1: of the Islamic communities in all these countries. Not not
- 15:53Speaker 1: all Muslims in these countries are Islamists. Not all Muslims
- 15:58Speaker 1: have not been will need to integrate. But some clearly,
- 16:03Speaker 1: and whether it's a minority and majority, I don't know,
- 16:05Speaker 1: but some clearly are not integrating into British society and
- 16:10Speaker 1: are clearly advocating for an ideology and a philosophy based
- 16:14Speaker 1: on their religion that is exact anti thesis, the exact
- 16:17Speaker 1: opposite of the basis of Western civilization. And what happens is,
- 16:26Speaker 1: this is what happens with multiculturalism, right, is when you
- 16:31Speaker 1: go out there and you point out, you know, in Birmingham,
- 16:35Speaker 1: Muslim community in Birmingham, parts of the Muslim community in
- 16:38Speaker 1: Birmingham are not well integrated. They are not assimilating into
- 16:43Speaker 1: British society. People flip out, You're a racist. How dare
- 16:48Speaker 1: you say that? Of course they're assimilating when you look
- 16:53Speaker 1: at demographics and you look at Muslims only live together
- 16:56Speaker 1: and non Muslims work together, and no, there's no crossing
- 17:00Speaker 1: the lines. The government in this case chooses to ignore
- 17:05Speaker 1: that and accuse the people who are making these claims
- 17:08Speaker 1: of being racists and be and then you get the football.
- 17:15Speaker 1: Funnily enough, this banning of Israeli fans from Birmingham is
- 17:21Speaker 1: so scandalous that even the Labor Party, even the Prime
- 17:25Speaker 1: Minister is outraged by it. Now we'll see what he does.
- 17:30Speaker 1: Here's what he should do. Here's what he should do.
- 17:32Speaker 1: Here's what a courageous Prime ministery of the UK would do.
- 17:36Speaker 1: He would first of all reverse this and tell the
- 17:39Speaker 1: Birmingham police that he will provide whatever protection needed. We
- 17:45Speaker 1: will bring police forces in from other cities or towns
- 17:49Speaker 1: or use the military.
- 17:50Speaker 2: Is a good use of military to protect from violence.
- 17:54Speaker 1: Second, he should invite in a bunch of his Jewish friends.
- 17:57Speaker 1: I'm sure he has some. They all have some, so
- 18:00Speaker 1: they can claim that some of my best friends of Jewish.
- 18:03Speaker 1: Maybe even invite you know, one of the Maccabi Tel
- 18:07Speaker 1: Aviv fans who was going to come to Birmingham is
- 18:10Speaker 1: a former hostage who was released earlier this year by Ramas.
- 18:16Speaker 1: She was going to come to see the match. He
- 18:17Speaker 1: should invite her to come on and he should go
- 18:20Speaker 1: to the game with his Jewish fans and wish this
- 18:23Speaker 1: former Ramas hostage and they should all go and watch
- 18:26Speaker 1: the game together. That's what are courageous prime minister will
- 18:32Speaker 1: do and that would send a message that would give
- 18:36Speaker 1: a signal this will not be tolerated in the United Kingdom.
- 18:42Speaker 1: We will protect people's rights, we will protect them from violence.
- 18:45Speaker 1: We will do what the government, the primary job of
- 18:48Speaker 1: governor is the primary job of government is to protect
- 18:51Speaker 1: us from violence, from force, from coursion for other people.
- 18:56Speaker 1: We will do that. We will live up to our responsibilities.
- 18:59Speaker 1: That's what the Prime Minister of England should do. He's
- 19:02Speaker 1: condemned the decision by Birmingham, but he hasn't yet taken
- 19:06Speaker 1: the next step. He hasn't taken action, and again inviting
- 19:11Speaker 1: a bunch of his Jewish friends and maybe some Israelis
- 19:15Speaker 1: and maybe these really ambassador to the UK, maybe they
- 19:17Speaker 1: should all go and watch the game together and have
- 19:22Speaker 1: the kind of police protection that you would expect when
- 19:26Speaker 1: people like that are there. Anyway, this is the problem,
- 19:32Speaker 1: though you can't criticize it. While you know the Prime
- 19:36Speaker 1: Minister is criticizing the decision by the West Midlands the
- 19:41Speaker 1: Birmingham Police, he's also denying the fact that there's no assimilation.
- 19:46Speaker 1: He's denying the fact that there's a problem, that there's
- 19:49Speaker 1: an Muslim problem in the UK. This is one of
- 19:53Speaker 1: the reasons I don't think the Labor Party is going
- 19:55Speaker 1: to survive. It's going to be crushed in the next election.
- 19:58Speaker 1: The question is going to be is a to be
- 20:00Speaker 1: the Conservatives? Is going to be the party whose name
- 20:03Speaker 1: I always forget, the more right wing party, the more
- 20:07Speaker 1: anti immigration party. I hope it's the Conservatives because I
- 20:09Speaker 1: like Kemi and I would like to see her have
- 20:12Speaker 1: a shot at being Prime Minister and see what she
- 20:14Speaker 1: can get done. But yeah, let's see, let's see what
- 20:20Speaker 1: the Prime Minister actually does. Let's see what action he takes.
- 20:25Speaker 1: By the way, the same Muslim MP defending the band
- 20:32Speaker 1: Ikabal Muhammad was also on the parliament floor, you know,
- 20:40Speaker 1: defending cousin marriages as part of his culture and claiming that,
- 20:47Speaker 1: you know, banning cousin marriages. Cousin marriages are very common,
- 20:51Speaker 1: it turns out, among particularly the Pakistani Muslim.
- 20:55Speaker 2: Community in England.
- 20:56Speaker 1: And not only does it it it's very clanish. It
- 21:01Speaker 1: keeps everything internal to the clan. But it's just unhealthy.
- 21:05Speaker 1: It creates lots and lots of health issues. Anyway, he's
- 21:10Speaker 1: claiming that a banning cousin marriages is Islamophobia. Islamophobia is
- 21:15Speaker 1: one of those terms that's really you know, powerful, They
- 21:18Speaker 1: throw it at you, and I think the response to
- 21:21Speaker 1: philamophobia should be, Yeah, I'm afraid of some Muslims, the
- 21:27Speaker 1: radical ones, the Islamist ones, the ones who claim they
- 21:30Speaker 1: want to kill me, the ones who want to go,
- 21:33Speaker 1: you know, beat up the fans.
- 21:36Speaker 2: Of Tel Avivon. I'm afraid of them.
- 21:38Speaker 1: Yeah, And there's good reason to be afraid of some Muslims.
- 21:43Speaker 1: Those Muslims who take their religion seriously. Good reason to
- 21:46Speaker 1: be afraid. Okay, since we're in Britain and we're talking
- 21:53Speaker 1: about Israel and stuff, this story came to be. So
- 21:57Speaker 1: there's been an investigation by I guess, the official arm
- 22:01Speaker 1: of that regulates the BBC. The BBC is of course,
- 22:05Speaker 1: a taxpayer funded news organization in the United Kingdom called OFCOM.
- 22:11Speaker 1: And OFCOM has investigated the a BBC documentary about Gaza
- 22:21Speaker 1: and about Ramas. The documentary claims to follow the life
- 22:27Speaker 1: of a thirteen year old kid who's who is the
- 22:30Speaker 1: son of Ramasa's Deputy Minister of Agriculture. OFCOM finds, but
- 22:37Speaker 1: the documentary is unbelievably biased and has been you know,
- 22:43Speaker 1: a lot of inaccuracies and people have made a big
- 22:46Speaker 1: deal out of this and this is why this was
- 22:48Speaker 1: investigated and offcome statement they find that quote. Our investigation
- 22:52Speaker 1: found that the program's failure to disclose that the narrator's father,
- 22:57Speaker 1: the person who narrates the documentary is father held a
- 23:00Speaker 1: position in the Hamas run administration, was materially misleading. I
- 23:06Speaker 1: guess the thirteen year old it was never disclosed that
- 23:10Speaker 1: he was the son of Hamas's of a Hamas minister
- 23:15Speaker 1: quote it meant that the audience did not have critical
- 23:18Speaker 1: information which may have been highly relevant to their assessment
- 23:22Speaker 1: of the narrator and the information he provided. This failing
- 23:26Speaker 1: had potent potential to erode the significantly high levels of
- 23:30Speaker 1: trust that audiences would have placed in a BBC factual
- 23:34Speaker 1: program about the Israeli Gaza War. And it goes on
- 23:39Speaker 1: to say misleading the audience is quote among the most
- 23:42Speaker 1: serious breaches that can be committed by the broadcaster, and
- 23:47Speaker 1: it is demanding the BBC acknowledge this and make a
- 23:51Speaker 1: formal announcement which they have against a BBC spoken said,
- 23:56Speaker 1: the Offcom ruling is in line with the finding of
- 23:58Speaker 1: the Peter Johnson's view, and there was that there was
- 24:01Speaker 1: a significant failing in the documentary in relation to the
- 24:04Speaker 1: BBC's editorial guidelines on accuracy, which reflects Will two point
- 24:08Speaker 1: two of Offcom's broadcast Code. We have apologized for this
- 24:11Speaker 1: and we accept Offcom's decision in full. We won't comply
- 24:14Speaker 1: with the sanction. So you know, the British public, on
- 24:18Speaker 1: top of everything else, is getting propaganda from the BBC.
- 24:21Speaker 1: Hamas propaganda from the BBC not disclosing that unbelievable bias.
- 24:27Speaker 1: And you know, one of the things that came to
- 24:30Speaker 1: my attention is not only that, you know, they didn't
- 24:36Speaker 1: disclose who this kid was, but there's much more egregious
- 24:44Speaker 1: things that happen in this documentary than that. I mean,
- 24:48Speaker 1: there are they are massive distortions of translation. I'll give
- 24:57Speaker 1: you just one example. There is a scene where a
- 25:01Speaker 1: woman is saying that she is fighting and resisting Israeli forces,
- 25:05Speaker 1: fighting and resisting Israeli forces. That is the English subtitle,
- 25:09Speaker 1: but that's not what she says in Arabic. What she's
- 25:13Speaker 1: saying is she's participating in jihad against the Jews. Jihad
- 25:17Speaker 1: against the Jews is not fighting and resisting Israeli forces.
- 25:21Speaker 2: First of all, it's Jews, not just Israeli forces.
- 25:24Speaker 1: And jihad is something much broader and much wider than
- 25:28Speaker 1: just fighting. And it's clear why you're fighting, right, Fighting
- 25:33Speaker 1: and resisting Israeli forces sounds nationalistic and sounds gorilla like
- 25:38Speaker 1: and patriotic in some way. Jihad places it where it belongs,
- 25:43Speaker 1: a religious war. And yet you know, over and over
- 25:51Speaker 1: and over again you get these you know, you get
- 25:57Speaker 1: these mistranslations where the BBC removes references to Jews, removes
- 26:02Speaker 1: references to jihad. And this is just not just one occurrence,
- 26:07Speaker 1: it's more than one. So you know, Britain is in
- 26:16Speaker 1: trouble not only because of its Muslim population, but because
- 26:20Speaker 1: of the people who are supposingly providing British audiences with
- 26:24Speaker 1: then news getting a massively distorted, massively biased view about
- 26:36Speaker 1: what is going on in Gaza in the war between
- 26:40Speaker 1: Israel and Ramas. All right, not too surprising, I think
- 26:49Speaker 1: to anyone who's been following what's going on in the UK.
- 26:54Speaker 1: All right, as we speak, I think, or maybe it's
- 26:56Speaker 1: already ended, but generally today there was a meeting between
- 27:01Speaker 1: Donald Trump and Zelenski. This has been a meeting. There's
- 27:03Speaker 1: been planned for a while, and there was a lot
- 27:06Speaker 1: of meetings between underlings to set this up, and there
- 27:09Speaker 1: was an agreement and and and leading up to this,
- 27:13Speaker 1: Trump has been talking about providing UH the Ukrainians with
- 27:17Speaker 1: Tomahawk missiles, which could be a game changer in many
- 27:20Speaker 1: respects in the war because it provides would provide them
- 27:23Speaker 1: with a reliable missile they can really hit Russian targets
- 27:28Speaker 1: a deep inside of Russia and including the facilities where
- 27:31Speaker 1: they build the drones, which are beyond the reach of
- 27:36Speaker 1: of of of most of the technology the Ukrainians have. Anyway,
- 27:43Speaker 1: Trump has been toying with US. A Lynsk I think,
- 27:45Speaker 1: came to the United States with the expectation, as has
- 27:48Speaker 1: been discussed over the last few weeks, of cutting some
- 27:51Speaker 1: kind of deal with the United States where where the
- 27:54Speaker 1: you where they would receive, where the Ukrainians would receive
- 28:00Speaker 1: a tom kamissils and maybe other weapons systems, and in exchange,
- 28:08Speaker 1: it's been discussed that Ukraine will deliver to the United
- 28:13Speaker 1: States drones there As Ukrainian drome technology.
- 28:16Speaker 2: Has advanced dramatically.
- 28:18Speaker 1: The Ukrainians have been this war has given them both
- 28:22Speaker 1: the impetus and motivation, but also the experience, the knowledge,
- 28:27Speaker 1: the expertise, the ability to test in live conditions in
- 28:31Speaker 1: the battlefield drones and they have become a real super
- 28:34Speaker 1: power and it comes to the production of sophisticated, war tested,
- 28:40Speaker 1: battle tested drones, and they have offered to provide the
- 28:44Speaker 1: United States with drones. The US is behind in drome production,
- 28:50Speaker 1: particularly if it ever got into a conflict with China.
- 28:55Speaker 1: The Chinese can produce millions of drones very very cop
- 28:58Speaker 1: The United States has Joan capabilities, but nowhere near the
- 29:03Speaker 1: kind of capabilities that the Chinese have. UH, and Ukraine
- 29:07Speaker 1: wants to help and provide the United States with drones.
- 29:10Speaker 1: So what you get is a trade of drones for
- 29:12Speaker 1: tom Hawk missiles. And it seemed like that was going
- 29:15Speaker 1: to be the deal. UH and uh Zolenski came to
- 29:19Speaker 1: Washington expecting that to happen. But as often happens, when
- 29:26Speaker 1: Trump seems to be getting closer to Zelensky and favoring
- 29:32Speaker 1: Ukraine in some way, Putin calls, and indeed, yesterday Putin called.
- 29:42Speaker 1: The Kremlin says its initiated the phone call, which most
- 29:45Speaker 1: reporting does not mention, But the Kremlin initiated a call
- 29:49Speaker 1: between Putin and Trump. It was a long call. Trump
- 29:54Speaker 1: was actually texting during the call, and where I guess
- 30:00Speaker 1: Putin and Trump talked again about the prospects for a peace.
- 30:06Speaker 1: You know, Putin has an ability to really manipulate Trump.
- 30:10Speaker 1: He has Trump's number. I don't know what that number is.
- 30:13Speaker 1: I don't know how he does it. I don't exactly.
- 30:15Speaker 1: I mean, I think I know he He sings his
- 30:19Speaker 1: praises and he reminds him he's got nuclear weapons and
- 30:24Speaker 1: things like that. But anyway, Putin got on the phone
- 30:28Speaker 1: and talked to Trump and did whatever he does, the
- 30:33Speaker 1: whatever magic he does with Trump, to kind of moderate Trump,
- 30:38Speaker 1: to make Trump less pro Ukraine, to make it so
- 30:42Speaker 1: that today when Zelenski showed up, tomoks are still on
- 30:46Speaker 1: the table, but it's not a done deal and maybe
- 30:48Speaker 1: and we'll see. And you know, Trump was saying, we
- 30:51Speaker 1: really need the tom ox in the United States. We've
- 30:53Speaker 1: got this threat from China and we don't have enough
- 30:55Speaker 1: tomahawks for ourselves. This is a really powerful weapon and
- 30:58Speaker 1: it's really cool and it's really important. I mean, there
- 31:01Speaker 1: are other issues with tomahawks. That is, the main delivery
- 31:05Speaker 1: mechanism with tomahawks is by ship and by submarine. That's
- 31:08Speaker 1: how the United States launch system to launch them from
- 31:12Speaker 1: the ground is tricky and needs a particular launch system.
- 31:18Speaker 1: And it's luckily the United States says enough of them
- 31:21Speaker 1: and so on. But it seemed like that's the direction
- 31:24Speaker 1: they were heading. And then Trump went, well, I'm not sure. Now,
- 31:28Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll talk about it, we'll talk about it.
- 31:30Speaker 1: Zelinski came with expectation and he was in his best behavior.
- 31:34Speaker 1: He wore this really cool, you know, a dark military jacket,
- 31:38Speaker 1: which Trump praised as being as looking good after the
- 31:42Speaker 1: commentary about his clothes a year ago. He praised Trump
- 31:47Speaker 1: for his Middle East stuff. He praised Trump as a peacemaker.
- 31:49Speaker 1: He did all the things that he's been taught now
- 31:54Speaker 1: to do in dealing with Trump. You know, it's soothe
- 31:59Speaker 1: is ego, play up his ego. Put you know, play
- 32:02Speaker 1: to all of that. And in spite of that, you know,
- 32:05Speaker 1: whatever Putin said to Trump yesterday has has a you know,
- 32:10Speaker 1: has had a bigger impact. Trump today said, you know,
- 32:14Speaker 1: when he's meeting with Zelenski said tom hawks a big deal.
- 32:18Speaker 1: But one thing I have to say, we want tomahawks also,
- 32:21Speaker 1: we don't want to be giving away things that we
- 32:24Speaker 1: need to protect that country. Yesterday and the day before,
- 32:27Speaker 1: he was eager to send them over to Ukraine. He says,
- 32:31Speaker 1: hopefully we'll be able to get the war over without
- 32:33Speaker 1: thinking about tom hawks. I think we're fairly close to that.
- 32:36Speaker 1: So Trump is back on Yeah, piece pieces imminent, Piece
- 32:41Speaker 1: is imminent. I've got to deal with Putin. It's gonna happen.
- 32:44Speaker 1: I mean, he hasn't learned anything. He hasn't learned with
- 32:47Speaker 1: how Putin plays him. He even acknowledges that Putin is
- 32:50Speaker 1: playing him, and Putin tries to play him, but he doesn't.
- 32:57Speaker 1: Actually it doesn't sink in. So Putin has agreed to
- 33:02Speaker 1: meet with Trump in Budapest, and I guess two weeks
- 33:05Speaker 1: so now I was training. Trump is saying, well, let's
- 33:07Speaker 1: see we've got a peace plan. Now the Russians are
- 33:10Speaker 1: saying we're not interested in peace. The the Ukrainians are
- 33:14Speaker 1: basically saying we're not gonna accept Russia's terms for surrender.
- 33:18Speaker 1: Only Trump thinks that there is any chance for peace. Uh,
- 33:24Speaker 1: and is pushing for it. Uh. I mean, it's it's
- 33:31Speaker 1: it's crazy. Can I say it's crazy? It's insane? But
- 33:37Speaker 1: but yeah, yeah, Trump said I think he looks beautiful
- 33:40Speaker 1: in his jacket. So Trump is trying to and of course,
- 33:45Speaker 1: you know, you know, he also said. This is kind
- 33:48Speaker 1: of funny because Trump says, it's an honor to be
- 33:51Speaker 1: with a very strong leader, man who has been through
- 33:53Speaker 1: a lot. And uh and as he's saying that, as
- 33:58Speaker 1: he's praising Zelenski, you should have seen what's his name,
- 34:03Speaker 1: jd Vance's face? I mean jd Vance was really unhappy.
- 34:09Speaker 1: It's like, don't praise Celesky is the devil. I mean,
- 34:12Speaker 1: that's what we heard from J. D. Vance and what
- 34:14Speaker 1: Jadvance was advocating for for so long. And now Trump
- 34:17Speaker 1: is praising Zelensky. The Jdvans wing of the Republican Party
- 34:22Speaker 1: does not like Zelensky. They love Putin, they do not
- 34:26Speaker 1: like Zelensky, and JD.
- 34:27Speaker 2: Devince was not happy with.
- 34:30Speaker 1: Trump complimenting Zelensky in any way. All right, h no,
- 34:39Speaker 1: we'll we're here, let's see I talk about wars. It
- 34:48Speaker 1: really does seem like the United States is giving off
- 34:51Speaker 1: for some kind of action in Venezuela.
- 34:55Speaker 2: Uh, the Trump.
- 34:56Speaker 1: Is is uh you know, authorized to see I to
- 35:00Speaker 1: engage in covert operations in Venezuela. I assume, with the
- 35:05Speaker 1: goal of replacing Maduro. As we've talked about for a
- 35:11Speaker 1: few months now, the United States is building up military,
- 35:15Speaker 1: naval resources and air force resources in the Southern Caribbean.
- 35:20Speaker 1: They have restarted a military bases in Puerto Rico, and
- 35:30Speaker 1: they have moved a number of ships down into the
- 35:33Speaker 1: Southern Caribbean off off of Venezuela coast with and and
- 35:37Speaker 1: of course they have blown up a number of boats
- 35:40Speaker 1: which they claim carrying drug dealers, but nobody has suggested
- 35:44Speaker 1: that they have any evidence of proof, and they don't
- 35:47Speaker 1: seem to believe that they need.
- 35:48Speaker 2: Any evidence of proof, which is bizarre and weird.
- 35:51Speaker 1: I guess the American government now can just blow ships
- 35:55Speaker 1: up wherever they want without having to prove anything, no trial,
- 36:01Speaker 1: no declaration of anything, right. I mean, It's one thing
- 36:05Speaker 1: to have a military operation to kill terrorists and have
- 36:09Speaker 1: clear identification of who the terrorists are and have a
- 36:11Speaker 1: whole higher key of wanted people. It's a completely different
- 36:16Speaker 1: thing to go after drug cartels supposedly anyway, and just
- 36:24Speaker 1: blow up boats because you believe that they're carrying cocaine.
- 36:27Speaker 1: I mean, there are plenty of ways to stop boats
- 36:30Speaker 1: and confiscate the cocaine or the drugs, whatever it happens
- 36:33Speaker 1: to be. I mean, there's been there been a number
- 36:38Speaker 1: of pretty large arrests. I read about this, a pretty
- 36:41Speaker 1: large arrests on the Pacific side off the California coast
- 36:46Speaker 1: of boats smuggling drugs into the United States, and they've
- 36:50Speaker 1: been they found huge quantities of cocaine, they've arrested a
- 36:53Speaker 1: lot of people. That's always been the way you do it.
- 36:57Speaker 1: You don't just blow up boats, which is what the
- 36:59Speaker 1: US is doing anyway. Uh the there's a real military presence,
- 37:04Speaker 1: and there's a lot of rhetoric.
- 37:05Speaker 2: Also, there have been plans.
- 37:10Speaker 1: The Madua regime knows this, so they are getting there
- 37:13Speaker 1: en forces ready for er some kind of American invasion
- 37:17Speaker 1: or some kind of American effort. But at the same
- 37:19Speaker 1: time the diplomatic efforts, Venezuela has offered the United States
- 37:22Speaker 1: gold and it's offered the United States oil in order
- 37:25Speaker 1: to avoid uh a US invasion. They also proposed that
- 37:31Speaker 1: Maduro would step down from power in three years and
- 37:34Speaker 1: hand over the authority to his vice president, who would
- 37:37Speaker 1: complete madua six year term. And the United States has
- 37:42Speaker 1: rejected all these offers. So h Venezuela is groveling, They're afraid,
- 37:47Speaker 1: they're worried, and it really does look like we should
- 37:52Speaker 1: expect some kind of military operation in Venezuela. Look I
- 37:58Speaker 1: I as I've said many times, I'm happy to see
- 38:00Speaker 1: Maduro go. I have no problem with you using the
- 38:04Speaker 1: United States covert operations or military in order to make
- 38:08Speaker 1: him go. I just don't believe in putting any American
- 38:11Speaker 1: lives at risk in order to make it happen, whether
- 38:15Speaker 1: Madu is there or not, is not a threat to
- 38:18Speaker 1: the lives and property of Americans. It's a threat in
- 38:21Speaker 1: the lives of property of Venezuelans, and it's not good
- 38:25Speaker 1: for America. It would be better if it was not there.
- 38:28Speaker 1: But it's not a violation of rights, and therefore it's
- 38:31Speaker 1: not a cause for war. Yeah, it's rare for me
- 38:35Speaker 1: to be anti war, but I guess people would say,
- 38:38Speaker 1: but I'm full war when there's a real threat and
- 38:41Speaker 1: the enemy should be destroyed madea is not a threat.
- 38:44Speaker 2: To the United States.
- 38:45Speaker 1: He's an inconvenience, but he's not a threat. But it
- 38:50Speaker 1: does look like it's gonna happen, So sometime in the
- 38:53Speaker 1: next few weeks, wouldn't be surprised if forces.
- 38:58Speaker 2: I don't know how it would be done.
- 39:00Speaker 1: Don't know anything about that part of the world in
- 39:01Speaker 1: a sense of military, but that there will be some
- 39:05Speaker 1: kind of attempted coup or coup in Venezuela supported by
- 39:09Speaker 1: the United States, and potentially were troops on the ground,
- 39:12Speaker 1: maybe special Forces, maybe CIA. Hard to tell, maybe a
- 39:17Speaker 1: miss up it just kills him. That's also possible. All right,
- 39:26Speaker 1: that's Venezuela. This is kind of an interesting story.
- 39:31Speaker 2: So you know, there have been.
- 39:37Speaker 1: Cases in the past where the iOS has been used
- 39:40Speaker 1: for political purposes to go after political enemies. In particular,
- 39:45Speaker 1: we know during the Obama administration that within the iOS
- 39:48Speaker 1: there was an effort to not approve and retract nonprofit
- 39:55Speaker 1: status from.
- 39:57Speaker 2: Certain conservative organizations.
- 39:58Speaker 1: And there's plenty reasona believe over the many decades that
- 40:04Speaker 1: enemies of the administration were audited more frequently than friends.
- 40:11Speaker 2: Wouldn't be shocking.
- 40:14Speaker 1: Trump was not taking it to the next level because
- 40:17Speaker 1: all of those other effects were always covert.
- 40:21Speaker 2: Nobody ever admitted to it.
- 40:23Speaker 1: It was always no, no, no, or we never intended
- 40:27Speaker 1: or with the IRS case, with a nonprofits, it was
- 40:31Speaker 1: like no, you know, there was denial and blame to
- 40:36Speaker 1: a lower level official. It was never kind of the
- 40:40Speaker 1: official policy of the Obama administration. But now it actually
- 40:46Speaker 1: looks like the Trump administration is trying to organize the
- 40:49Speaker 1: IRS and suggested the IRS that they go after enemies
- 40:59Speaker 1: of the Trumpet administration. I mean, on Fox and Friends
- 41:03Speaker 1: last month, Donald Thump said that SOURUS and others have
- 41:08Speaker 1: funded left leaning protesters, and he says, we're going we're
- 41:12Speaker 1: going to look into SOUS because I think it's a
- 41:15Speaker 1: reco case against Sham and other people, because this is
- 41:19Speaker 1: more than like protests, it's real agitation, it's riots whatever.
- 41:25Speaker 1: And now they are actively engaged in trying to use
- 41:29Speaker 1: dirs for this purpose, which would be a full assault
- 41:37Speaker 1: on policy, which is expressed in law that diars should
- 41:44Speaker 1: not be used for political purposes. But Trump is explicitly
- 41:49Speaker 1: you know, they're trying to replace a long time IRS
- 41:54Speaker 1: IRS kind of criminal investigation chief. They're trying to put
- 41:59Speaker 1: in a political employe tea there. They've got a list
- 42:02Speaker 1: of people they want to go after. And again it's
- 42:06Speaker 1: not public, it's not policy, but it keeps beginning expressed
- 42:11Speaker 1: by political people, and their appointments seem to suggest that
- 42:14Speaker 1: that's exactly what they're going. I mean, President Nixon was
- 42:24Speaker 1: impeached for attempting to abused IRS as powerful political purposes.
- 42:29Speaker 1: That was part of the impeachment. But Trump seems to
- 42:37Speaker 1: be wanting to ignore that as always and really go
- 42:41Speaker 1: after them. But whereas again prior past administrations who did
- 42:47Speaker 1: this hit it try to deny it, I don't think
- 42:52Speaker 1: Trump will deny it. I don't think Trump will hide it.
- 42:54Speaker 1: I think for Trump that says, yeah, this is what
- 42:55Speaker 1: you do. It's the same as going after call me
- 42:58Speaker 1: and going after what's the name in you?
- 43:00Speaker 2: And now going after Bolton.
- 43:03Speaker 1: He does not deny using the Justice Department to go
- 43:07Speaker 1: after his political rivals. He relishes it, he embraces it,
- 43:13Speaker 1: he celebrates it. And that's a big difference, a big difference. Okay, Finally,
- 43:22Speaker 1: I want to tell you about something that I think
- 43:24Speaker 1: is so inspiring and positive for change, right, something inspiring
- 43:30Speaker 1: and positive somebody standing up on principle at a great cost,
- 43:37Speaker 1: and yet standing up on principle against I think the
- 43:43Speaker 1: thugs of the world. And this is a story of
- 43:48Speaker 1: chess Grandmaster Anna Musichick, Mussychick, something like that. It's something
- 43:57Speaker 1: like that. Let me just take a look here at
- 44:01Speaker 1: what's going on. In one second, I just want to
- 44:04Speaker 1: I don't I I don't have as many screens that
- 44:06Speaker 1: opened when I'm on the road, cause I just have
- 44:09Speaker 1: my laptop. But I see, well, but halfway to our
- 44:14Speaker 1: first hour goal, guys, god, it's be uh you know er,
- 44:19Speaker 1: Let's try to make that goal at least if not,
- 44:21Speaker 1: if not more than that, but let's try to Let's
- 44:23Speaker 1: try to do that anyway. A grand master grandmaster uh uh,
- 44:29Speaker 1: chess grandmaster Anna Mochek, who's who's a young woman, is
- 44:35Speaker 1: refusing refusing to play in Saudi Arabia at a big
- 44:41Speaker 1: chess tournament. She right, she says, quote. In a few days,
- 44:47Speaker 1: I will lose two world titles back to back because
- 44:53Speaker 1: I decided not to go to Saudi Arabia. I refuse
- 44:57Speaker 1: to play by special rules to where and abaya head
- 45:01Speaker 1: covering to be accompanied by a man so I can
- 45:04Speaker 1: leave the hotel. So I don't feel like a second
- 45:07Speaker 1: class person. I will follow my principles and not compete
- 45:13Speaker 1: in the World Fast Chess and Blitz Championship. Wait, in
- 45:17Speaker 1: just five days, I could have won more money than
- 45:20Speaker 1: dozens of other tournaments combined. This is all very nasty,
- 45:26Speaker 1: But the sad part is no one seems to care
- 45:32Speaker 1: bitter feelings but can go back, so it's like she's
- 45:37Speaker 1: all alone.
- 45:39Speaker 2: People are not supporting her.
- 45:41Speaker 1: The Chess Federation is not supporting her and her decision
- 45:45Speaker 1: not to go to Saudi Arabia because of the way
- 45:46Speaker 1: they treat women. Well, I support her for whatever it's worth,
- 45:51Speaker 1: probably not much, but I support her. I think this
- 45:53Speaker 1: is a courageous stand. I wish more people would take it.
- 45:57Speaker 1: I would not go to Saudi Arabia or to Dubai
- 45:59Speaker 1: or these other places because of this. Saudi Arabia is worse.
- 46:06Speaker 1: You should not sanction this kind of behavior. You should
- 46:09Speaker 1: not sanctioned a regime that that that puts in jail, atheists,
- 46:16Speaker 1: that treats women as second class citizens. In a variety
- 46:19Speaker 1: of different ways, she expressed some of them, and yeah,
- 46:31Speaker 1: this is, uh, this is important now I read this.
- 46:35Speaker 1: But it turned out it turned out that this happened
- 46:37Speaker 1: a few years ago.
- 46:38Speaker 2: It isn't you. It isn't happening now.
- 46:41Speaker 1: Uh. But and I can't trere if. I talked about
- 46:44Speaker 1: it when it happened, But for some reason it's bubbled
- 46:47Speaker 1: up into Twitter surface again. She's being criticized by lots
- 46:52Speaker 1: of people for this. But but this is uh, this
- 46:59Speaker 1: is this is good, this is important.
- 47:02Speaker 2: She should be supported.
- 47:03Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on with it today. So
- 47:06Speaker 1: I'm not sure why why it was suddenly making the rounds.
- 47:11Speaker 1: It's suddenly being elevated a number of people, a number
- 47:15Speaker 1: of people being involved. It turns out that since then,
- 47:19Speaker 1: she's continued to win titles and done very very well
- 47:22Speaker 1: in spite of the fact that she did not go
- 47:25Speaker 1: to Saudi Arabia.
- 47:28Speaker 2: Right, So it's an old story but a good one.
- 47:32Speaker 2: So what hell worth telling?
- 47:37Speaker 1: I think it was the twenty seventeen or twenty eighteen,
- 47:39Speaker 1: and I think I did cover it at the time,
- 47:41Speaker 1: but worth covering again. Why I have a tournament about
- 47:47Speaker 1: Baric nation Because people don't have principles and these you know,
- 47:52Speaker 1: sports federations and these chess federations and all these other federations,
- 47:56Speaker 1: they don't care and they care about the money, same
- 48:00Speaker 1: reason they do the gold thing, golf thing with Saudi Arabia.
- 48:03Speaker 1: All they care about is the money, so they.
- 48:07Speaker 2: Don't care about the principles.
- 48:08Speaker 1: And it's great to see an athlete or a or
- 48:12Speaker 1: a chess master or anybody stand up against the barburism
- 48:17Speaker 1: of these regimes and say tell with the money, Tell
- 48:21Speaker 1: with the money. All right? Oh yeah, Wako says on
- 48:36Speaker 1: the chat, And I think he's right that it came up,
- 48:38Speaker 1: because riad can't you if we talked about this on
- 48:42Speaker 1: the show not I definitely read about this. There's been
- 48:44Speaker 1: a huge comedy festival, stand up comedy comedy festival in Riad,
- 48:50Speaker 1: and a lot of American comedians went. A lot of
- 48:53Speaker 1: them went, and some of them when they came back,
- 48:56Speaker 1: regretted going, but almost all of them went and didn't
- 48:59Speaker 1: say anything, and you know they went. And this is
- 49:06Speaker 1: a country there is no free speech. This is a
- 49:09Speaker 1: country again that you can go to jail for a
- 49:11Speaker 1: very long time for being an atheist. You could get
- 49:13Speaker 1: killed for being an atheist. You could go for a
- 49:16Speaker 1: very long time for criticizing Islam, or get killed for
- 49:19Speaker 1: criticizing Islam blasphemy laws. This is a country that has
- 49:23Speaker 1: no respect for freedom of speech. And to go there
- 49:26Speaker 1: as a comedian and pretend that he does is a
- 49:30Speaker 1: travesty and a betrayal, a betrayal of the people of
- 49:34Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, betrayal of comics in Saudi Arabia, who cannot
- 49:37Speaker 1: who cannot practice comedy in Saudi Arabia because they would
- 49:42Speaker 1: go to jail for making jokes about I don't know
- 49:46Speaker 1: the rulers of Saudi Arabia. That is not something you
- 49:48Speaker 1: can do. So that's why I came up again on Twitter,
- 49:55Speaker 1: which is good to show that there are some people
- 49:57Speaker 1: out there, not many, but some who still have principles
- 50:01Speaker 1: who still live by principles. All right, let's see. Lincoln
- 50:16Speaker 1: Gaffney says, I should hand out Atlas Shruggs in Arabic
- 50:19Speaker 1: in downtown riad and see what happens. Well, first you'd
- 50:21Speaker 1: have to translate it into Arabic. It's not in Arabic.
- 50:25Speaker 1: Arabic and Fossey are the only two major languages in
- 50:28Speaker 1: the world that Athletic shrugg is not translated into. But
- 50:32Speaker 1: then the reality of Arabic is that very few books
- 50:35Speaker 1: are translated into Arabic. You know, of all the languages,
- 50:39Speaker 1: you know, Arabs don't read a lot. They don't and
- 50:41Speaker 1: they don't read a lot of this. Part of the
- 50:43Speaker 1: problem in their culture is that they they they don't
- 50:49Speaker 1: translate a lot of books. They don't get exposure to
- 50:53Speaker 1: anything outside of their own narrow culture. Okay, uh, that
- 51:00Speaker 1: is the news for Friday, October seventeenth. By the way,
- 51:03Speaker 1: there will not be a show tomorrow. I thought there
- 51:04Speaker 1: would be, but traffic is going to be so bad
- 51:09Speaker 1: here in southern California. I'm driving south from LA and
- 51:13Speaker 1: supposedly there's a big military the Marines are doing a
- 51:18Speaker 1: big performative thing in Camp Pendleton. It's twenty and fifty
- 51:23Speaker 1: years of the Marines, and I guess higg Seth is
- 51:26Speaker 1: going to be there, maybe JD Van's and missiles are
- 51:30Speaker 1: gonna fly and live live AMMO and all this stuff.
- 51:32Speaker 1: And that's if you've ever driven on the five down
- 51:36Speaker 1: south Camp Peddleton, I mean you drive right through Camp
- 51:39Speaker 1: Pendleton and so they're going to be massive traffic jams.
- 51:45Speaker 1: So I'm gonna have to leave very early, and I'm
- 51:47Speaker 1: not gonna be able to do a show tomorrow unfortunately.
- 51:51Speaker 2: But there will be a show on Monday.
- 51:52Speaker 1: So no shows this weekend, but there will be a
- 51:54Speaker 1: show on Monday and Tuesday, and then we'll see after that. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
- 51:58Speaker 1: I think we'll also be able to do a show
- 52:00Speaker 1: on Wednesday. I leave Wednesday, will be an early show,
- 52:03Speaker 1: but there will be a show. All right. Let's let's
- 52:08Speaker 1: jump in to the superchat. WI remind you we have

- 53:08Speaker 1: uh uh, And there are plenty of Saudis to go
- 53:11Speaker 1: to the UAE to drink. Ue is slightly more liberal,
- 53:15Speaker 1: if you will, than than Saudi Araba's still not good,
- 53:18Speaker 1: but more liberal, and uh you can, I guess you
- 53:21Speaker 1: can drink and uh ue, you can't drink in Sudi Arabia. Alright,
- 53:25Speaker 1: uh so do stickers super chats, and don't forget to
- 53:28Speaker 1: support the show on a monthly basis on Patreon. Alright,
- 53:31Speaker 1: let's jump in a Rob who is supporting very generous
- 53:35Speaker 1: supporting the show with eighty uh Australian dollars And Australian
- 53:39Speaker 1: dollars is only increasing in value relative to the US dollar.
- 53:42Speaker 1: That's because the US dollars sinking, not cause the r
- 53:44Speaker 1: The Australian dollar is increasing. Uh, Rob, says there's a
- 53:50Speaker 1: pro cycling team owned by a Canadian Israeli called Israel
- 53:54Speaker 1: Premier Tech. It had bucked to pressure to drop the
- 53:58Speaker 1: Israel part of its name so it can safely compete
- 54:01Speaker 1: next year following protests shut down this year's tour of Spain.
- 54:08Speaker 1: It's so said, yeah, I mean it's horrible, It really
- 54:10Speaker 1: is horrible. I just read a story about a basketball
- 54:15Speaker 1: basketball in Barcelona. So there was an Israeli team coming
- 54:18Speaker 1: in to play a Barcelona in basketball, I think.
- 54:22Speaker 2: A Polytel avivor something.
- 54:24Speaker 1: And they had booked a hotel and the hotel, you know,
- 54:30Speaker 1: the hotel was inundated with protests and with threats of
- 54:36Speaker 1: violence that the hotel canceled the reservation. So they booked
- 54:41Speaker 1: a hotel outside of Barcelona, and they did it in
- 54:45Speaker 1: secret so nobody would know where the hotel was. Well,
- 54:49Speaker 1: when they showed up and they played the game, which
- 54:51Speaker 1: had demonstrated, you know, hundreds of demonstrators, and they started
- 54:55Speaker 1: writing and then the demonstrated somehow found out where the
- 54:58Speaker 1: hotel was. Spider the fact it was outside about an
- 55:01Speaker 1: hour of Barcelona. They went there and they started harassing
- 55:04Speaker 1: the hotel. They're harassing they literally had to pack them
- 55:08Speaker 1: up and the very very heavy guard transport them to
- 55:11Speaker 1: another hotel. I mean, and this is the thing that
- 55:19Speaker 1: the Israelis are expected of compromise. Israelis now in Europe
- 55:24Speaker 1: avoid speaking in Hebrew because they don't want to be
- 55:27Speaker 1: identified as Israelis, because they're afraid of what might happen.
- 55:33Speaker 1: As we know, Israelis were attacked after the soccer game
- 55:36Speaker 1: in Amsterdam. People are petrified and the blame is always
- 55:44Speaker 1: placed on the Israelis.
- 55:45Speaker 2: Well, just keep a little profile.
- 55:47Speaker 1: Why what have they done? Defended West of civilization, That's
- 55:53Speaker 1: what they're doing, defending Western civilization from the barbarians. But
- 55:56Speaker 1: instead of going after barbarians, instead of going out to demonstrators,
- 56:01Speaker 1: instead of locking them up. No, let's take the name
- 56:06Speaker 1: off of the teams. Let's take the israel name after
- 56:08Speaker 1: the team, after the team, Let's stop speaking Hebrew. Let's
- 56:14Speaker 1: let's hide where they're staying. I mean, this is it
- 56:19Speaker 1: really is. It's getting worse and worse and worse. It
- 56:21Speaker 1: was bad twenty years ago with the Danish cartoons. It's
- 56:26Speaker 1: only getting worse. Islam is only becoming a greater and
- 56:30Speaker 1: greater potent force in Europe. A more militant, aggressive, violent,
- 56:38Speaker 1: barbaric force. And we will see, we will see when
- 56:44Speaker 1: the Europeans wake up, wake up to that and decide
- 56:48Speaker 1: to silence this force. I think it'll happen, but it's
- 56:54Speaker 1: they're taking their time. They're taking their time. And the
- 56:57Speaker 1: fact and the reality is that if these European relatively
- 57:01Speaker 1: liberal governments don't do it, then it will get done
- 57:05Speaker 1: by illiberal governments, by more authoritarian governments of the rights
- 57:11Speaker 1: that are doing very well in the polls, and there
- 57:13Speaker 1: will ultimately come to dominate European politics, and they will
- 57:17Speaker 1: do it, and they will do it in a much
- 57:19Speaker 1: more barbaric, much more violent way. If you want to
- 57:24Speaker 1: save Europe, now's the time to deal with the Muslim problem.
- 57:27Speaker 1: The more you delay it, the more you undermine the
- 57:32Speaker 1: very nature of European society, even if because what you
- 57:37Speaker 1: what you get is the rise of anti Western civilization
- 57:40Speaker 1: values within the West among.
- 57:42Speaker 2: Europeans who will then crush the Muslims.
- 57:47Speaker 1: Now, you could still get the victory of Western civilization,
- 57:51Speaker 1: but only if it wakes up Day Slam.
- 57:53Speaker 2: And if it.
- 57:54Speaker 1: Doesn't, what you get is the victory of anti Western civilization.
- 57:57Speaker 1: European forces still be Europe, but it will not be
- 58:00Speaker 1: Western Europe. It'll be medieval Europe anti well. I mean, look,
- 58:09Speaker 1: communism is European, but it's anti Western civilization. Fascism is European,
- 58:16Speaker 1: but it's anti Western civilization. And you're much more likely
- 58:20Speaker 1: to get some kind of fascist, you know, rising in
- 58:25Speaker 1: response to Islam if it's not dealt with. Whereas if
- 58:28Speaker 1: it's dealt with now, then the fascists don't have the
- 58:34Speaker 1: number one issue that will bring them to power. You
- 58:37Speaker 1: take away that issue from them. But you see, the
- 58:40Speaker 1: liberal the liberal existing liberal art.
- 58:42Speaker 2: It cannot cannot deal with it, cannot deal with it.
- 58:49Speaker 1: All right, let me just think some of the stickers.
- 58:53Speaker 1: Maxwell thank you, Mary Alene, thank you, Glenn, Glenn, thank you, Robert.
- 59:01Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 59:03Speaker 1: Let's see normative rand Roid thank you. And that's it
- 59:09Speaker 1: all right, Thank you guys, thanks for the stickers. Still
- 59:13Speaker 1: do stickers. We'll cross the.
- 59:15Speaker 2: Our mark and we're not quite at our goal.
- 59:19Speaker 1: We're seventy five dollars short of our goal for the hour,
- 59:22Speaker 1: So please consider supporting the show, particularly if you can
- 59:25Speaker 1: twenty fifty dollars, that would be that would be huge
- 59:28Speaker 1: to get us to where we needed to where we
- 59:30Speaker 1: need to be, all right, Michael says. Zoron Mumdani repeatedly
- 59:38Speaker 1: accused Israel of.
- 59:39Speaker 2: Genocide in last night's debate.
- 59:41Speaker 1: If he wins, the amount of thugs he will lead
- 59:44Speaker 1: roam the streets will be cataclysmic. Do you predict a
- 59:49Speaker 1: mass exodu of people for New York if he wins. No.
- 59:51Speaker 1: I don't think New Yorkers will leave, certainly not in
- 59:56Speaker 1: the first couple of years, and listenings get really, really,
- 59:59Speaker 1: really bad. I think the only thing that will cause
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: New Yorkers to leave is a sharp escalation of violence.
- 1:00:06Speaker 2: Mdanni for now is saying he's.
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: Going to keep the comment police chief, which is who
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: is pretty good and it's done. I think it's a
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: she done a really good job at actually reducing crime
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: in New York.
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: But we'll see if he can stick to that.
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: Right And yeah, So, I don't think you'll see a
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: mass exodus. N list of violence increases, and I don't
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: think it immediately increases, though it might over time. And
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: I don't think New York has raised their taxes, more
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: failth in the streets, more homeless. I don't think people
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: will leave. People love New York too much. And they
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: also think, Mamdanio, it's a fad, it all pass and
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: or you know, how bad could he be? This is
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: why he's winning, right, how bad could he be? Look,
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: we've had all these other mayors, We've survived. Uh So,
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: I mean, look, he's getting over fifty percent of New
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: Yorkist to vote for him. He's appealing to a lot
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: of people who are fed up with status quo, who
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: are fed up with the comos of the world. Uh
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: and Uh, I'm looking for something new and young and exciting.
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: And it's not so new socialism. Socialism's old, but it
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: comes packaged in an exciting, charismatic character.
- 1:01:26Speaker 2: And they're falling for it. They are falling for it.
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: Tragic Pebe pro Hamas protesters blocked roads and caused crashes
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: and the September third weekend welt h Espania pro road rays,
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: where two stages were stopped early and one hundred k
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: one hundred.
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: Thousand people swarmed to finish.
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: The final stage was canceled with fifty five kilometers left
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: and no podium ceremony possible. Yeah. I mean, look, these
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: people are barbarians and they would like the They are
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: quite happy to stop everything to get their way, to
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: kill Jews, to kick out these raileas.
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: To not have anything to do with.
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: This, this is barbarism. And the fact that they're Spanish,
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: the Spaniards can't put together enough police and this is
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: two of the Brits in Birmingham to deal with them,
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: suggest that they've it's completely gotten out of hand. And
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: this is one of the reasons why in Spain, if
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: you had an election today, I think the far right
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: would win a lot more votes. I think that if
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: you had an election in the UK today, I think
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: the right would win many, many more votes. I think
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: Labor Party would be eviscerated. People don't want this. People
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: don't want to be overrun by the barbarians. They're they're
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: not ready for that. The majority of Europeans do not
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: want to be overrun by Muslims, and they do not
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: want to be overrun by Muslim agenda, and they will
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: stand up. It's just an evolving pattern. They're resisting going
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: full on to these some of these you know, proto
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: fascist political parties or almost fascist political parties because they
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: remember fascism and they don't like it. But if again,
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: if they're center center, left, center right does not deal
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: with the Muslim problem, then the fascists will win and
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: they will deal with.
- 1:03:23Speaker 2: The Muslim problem.
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: The peoples of Europe will not tolerate the Muslims, not
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: long term. Michael says, did you see Glenn Beck get
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: hounded by anti Semites at his turning point USA talk?
- 1:03:42Speaker 2: I did not.
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: I missed that young conservatives don't look up to Reagan,
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: they look up to de Fluentis. Yeah, Nick Frantis is
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: the number one podcast in America right now. Nick Frantis,
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: the slimy, anti Semitic, racist creep is the number one podcast.
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: I'm not talking about Joe. Nick Frantis. You saw the
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: leaked chat of the young Republicans. Nazi rhetoric, anti Semitic rhetoric,
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: anti women rhetoric, just horrible human beings.
- 1:04:20Speaker 2: These are the Republicans.
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: Now. I warned you, I've warned you for almost ten
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: years that this was coming, that this is the inevitable
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: direction the Republican Party was going. And I will mentioned
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: Charlottesville again, although every time we do that, I think
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: a bunch of people unsubscribed. But you could see it
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: in Charlotteville. You could see the sympathy with which too
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: much of the Republican you know, mega people surrounding Trump,
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: the sympathy with which they accepted Charlottesville.
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: And wink wink can hint that Trump gave it.
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: And so that the old rights, the racist right, the
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: anti Semitic right, the barbaric right, the anti funding Father's,
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: anti American right, has grown and grown and and you know,
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: and I was told at the time, the thing about
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: Gropers and I think about the old Right is that
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: they're core. They're fun. Now usually they're cool and fun
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: for you know, you know in cells, you know, lonely
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: men who have no clue and and no ability with women.
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: But whatever it is, it is gaining power, it is
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: greening strength, right, and you're seeing more and more over there.
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: And I was talking to a friend of mine who
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: teaches at university, and he's saying, oh, yeah, the sympathy
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: for crazy, the crazy right, for for fascism, for Hitler
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: among young conservati is right now is off the charts.
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: And they have no historical context by which the judges
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: and they but but there's a real problem, there's a
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: real problem among young people in the right right now,
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: particularly almost all men, almost all men or boys where
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: they are attracted to the worst of the far right,
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: to the worst elements on the far right. That doodo
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: Bunny For a guy so passionate about tech, you regularly
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: have issues with audio and video. Yep, you got a solution,
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: Hopper Campbell. It perplexes me. In a post Enlightenment and
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: post iron Ran world, Western civilization is still saturated with Christianity. Yes,
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: and that's fundamentally the problem that even the secularists all
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: Christian in a sense that they've all adopted Christian morality.
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: I mean, socialism is a Christian ideology. Communism ultimately is
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: a Christian ideology. Uh So Christianity is everywhere and uh
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: and and dominant. And there's a lot of work to do,
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: and it's very difficult to approved, particularly in America, it's
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: very very difficult to approut. Faith and altruism are very difficult.
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: It turns out to get rid of I I always
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: thought it would be much easier, but it's turned out
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: to be Yeah, really hot, James, what exactly was Milaier's mistake?
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: Having his policy has been azounding success. Should he not
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: have taken a bailout from Trump? No matter what is
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: going on with this currency. I I I don't know
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: enough about uh what's going on in in in Argentina
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: to tell you what the mistake is. I mean, the
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: fact that the peso is still floating against the dollar,
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: and the fact that it that the government is still
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: trying to manipulate the peso two years after malay Is being.
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: Elected suggests something wrong.
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: That they should have found a way to either get
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: rid of the paso or peg the paeso to the dollar,
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: you know, to control the value of the paso in
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: some reliable way. And what happened really is nothing economic.
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: What really happen is Mela lost an election, and when
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: you lost that election, a lot of the confidence faded
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: and people started selling the paso, which created real economic
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: problems within Argentina Agentina. One of the reasons it was
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: gaining was that people were willing to sell their dollars
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: and by pacers and participate in the local economy instead
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: of burying dollars in the mattress. They were willing to
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: deposit dollars into the checking accounts in Argentinian banks instead
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: of burying it in the mattress and foreign bank accounts,
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: and that rejuvenated parts of the to some extent the
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: Argentine economy. Well, once there was lost confidence that a
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: lot of that got reversed.
- 1:09:07Speaker 2: And that really hurt the economy.
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: I mean, there are other things that could have happened.
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: I just don't know. I mean, part of the problem
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: is the MILEAI does not have the legislative ability to
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: pass a lot of his reforms.
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: He can only do what he can do.
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: So should he have accepted the bailout, he probably should have.
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: Probably there's no cost to Argentina for accepting it, there's
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: no downside for it, and it does buy him some
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: time and hopefully he can win in October this month,
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: in a week, in ten days, he can win, and
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: if he wins, their confidence will come back. He'll have
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: the legislative power to start passing reforms and he can
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: really do the deep reforms that Argentina economy needs to
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: take Argentina to the next level.
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: The next step.
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: I would have expected by now, just as in a site,
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: that all tariffs, both taxes and imports and expert would
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: be eliminated, and that hasn't happened yet for some reason.
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: So but again I'm not familiar enough with the intricacies
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: of the Argentina economy to have a strong opinion, Linda,
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: don't forget to thumbs up the show to help you
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: on algorithm. Please help the algorithm. It's on my algorithm.
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: It's YouTube's algorithm. Helps my show on their algorithm. If
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: you give it a thumbs up and if you engage,
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: any engagement is good, but thumbs up isn't particularly good,
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: like the show, Linda. Trump is backpeddling again at Taco
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: He claims us needs to stay stocked up.
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, he constantly does this.
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: Jesus. He did it again with China because the stock
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: market went down and crypto went down. And he's now
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: he's saying, oh, yeah, I know, oh, one hundred percent
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: tariffs not sustainable.
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: It won't last very long.
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: And you know, he's backtracking because he doesn't like when
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: markets respond negatively to what he says, to what he says.
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: Or does.
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: Deepot with Diego. What are the consequences of the military
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: conflict between the Taliban and Pakistan and what consequences did
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: it have for the region at large? I mean, it
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: really is hard to tell. The consequence of the region
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: at large is the question that really has to be
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: top of mind is to what extent is India involved
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: with the Taliban in Afghanistan And to what extent is
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: Pakistan fighting a proxy war with Afghanistan really as part
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: of a fight with India. What you don't want is
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: a war between Pakistan and India that could be a
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: nuclear war both parties and nuclear weapons both parties have.
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: I don't know, I would worry about them the potential
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: of them actually using a nuclear warhead. You know, if
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: it's just Pakistani, if Ghanistani probably doesn't have that many raverifications.
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: China is trying to get a foothold both in Afghanistan
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: and in Pakistan and with India. So China's all over
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: that region as well, but it has certain conflicts with
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: the with the Indians, and it's closing up to everybody else.
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: And of course, you know, a Kaida and ISIS and
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: other Islamist terrorist organizations that are in Paki Afghanistan benefit
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: from the uncertainty and the fighting and the the the
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: mayhem that exists there. So you know, nothing good is
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: gonna come of this, but nothing terrible will come of it.
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: Unlict its beds to a a full fledged conflict with India.
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: Jason Trade of vic In. Abu Dhabi was my refuge
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: when I lived there two thousand and two thousand and three,
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: they allowed about fourteen bars in the city, all joined
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: to hotels and golf clubs. We had passbooks for home
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: consumption ration by income. I wonder how much of that
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: has changed. I mean, the fact is that Dubai has changed.
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: Abu Dhabi generally has changed dramatically since two thousand or
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: two thousand and three, over the last twenty years, this
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: massive construction, massive, I think, some reforms. So I'm curious Jason,
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: if you know how if it's different today than when
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: you were there. Whereas what is your opinion of the
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security in the United States? Should it
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: be a thing or is it just another alphabet agency
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: adding more to the restrictions of true liberty in the
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: United States. Yeah, it's a horrible entity. It's the largest
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: of all the governmental agencies other than Defense Department. It
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: was cobbled together by Bush after nine to eleven, taking
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: a lot of different agencies from a lot of different
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: other departments and putting them all under one thing. So immigration, fighting, terrorism,
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: and all of that, customs, all of that put under
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: one TSA.
- 1:14:20Speaker 2: Of course TSA became a big deal.
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: I think it's horrible. I think TSA is overly protective.
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: I think ICE should be disbanded, which is part of
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: their homeland security.
- 1:14:30Speaker 2: I think that, you know, border protection is.
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: Should be dramatically simplified by legalizing immigration. So yeah, I mean,
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: it's definitely an agency that is engaged in massive restrictions
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: of true liberty in the United States, no question about it.
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: It's one of the worst, and it's getting worse by
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: the day given what ICE is doing. So in that sense,
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: it just is truly horrific. Andrews says, why did Leonard
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: Peacock think that existentialism was the perfect name for objectivism
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: if it hadn't already been taken. Look, I mean you'd
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: have to ask Leonard. But so I'll give you my
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: interpretation of my recollection of what he said, although I
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: don't I don't have a perfect recollection of it. I mean,
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: I think it's basically this is this is the philosophy
- 1:15:26Speaker 1: of existence exists. We are about existence and existing. A
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: home Midel framework is about the choice between existing or
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: not existing, and survival or not survival, which is basically
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: existing or not existing, and the way in which we
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: exist is by recognizing that existence exist, and then ASA
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: and we can we can only use reason in order
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: to take it. So I think that is it's got
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: that metaphysical, both metaphysical in terms of the nature of reality,
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: but also made a physical in terms of the basic
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: choice that man faces. Existence are going out of existence,
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: And I think that's why he thought it, Andrew. You
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: know the expression truth hurts. If knowing the truth was
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: essentially a painful experience, mankind wouldn't have the will to survive.
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: Man pursues the truth because knowing the truth is good. Yeah, no, absolutely,
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: I mean the reality is that I mean what does
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: it mean? What does truth mean? It means that I
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: know this is food, not poison. I know that the
- 1:16:42Speaker 1: path I'm working on is a path that won't lead
- 1:16:46Speaker 1: me to fall off a cliff. It means that when
- 1:16:49Speaker 1: I cross the street, if I look and I don't
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: see a car coming, then there's no car coming and I.
- 1:16:54Speaker 2: Can cross the street safely.
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: Every single thing that human beings do, thing that we do,
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: depends on us accepting truth. So it can't be the
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: truth huts. Now it's said in the context of you know.
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: Sometimes knowing reality, you know how bad life is, or
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: how bad your life is, or how how you've been
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: betrayed or in those contexts.
- 1:17:26Speaker 2: But even then, what is the alternative?
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: Yes, the truth in those context might hurt, but the
- 1:17:34Speaker 1: non truth hurts much more, much, much, much more. The
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: lack of truth is destructive, right, So the truth is
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: always a good thing. It doesn't always feel good because
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: sometimes you discover things you don't want to know. You'd
- 1:17:55Speaker 1: rather not know in a sense, but you do need
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: to know, because not knowing is worse than knowing.
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: Not knowing is worse.
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: Than knowing somebody cheated on you. Yeah, it's painful to
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: discover that somebody cheated on you, but it's much more
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: painful to be cheated on and not know, much more painful.
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: You can't do anything about it if you don't know it.
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: All right, guys, I think that is the last question.
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: Don't have anymore, have time, but no questions. You guys
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: are skimpy on questions lately.
- 1:18:28Speaker 2: Don't know what's going on?
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: All right? Thank you to all the super chatters. Really
