• 0:02
  Speaker 1: A lot of fundamentals of aldo rational self interest and
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: an individual wats this is the show? Oh right, everybody,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: welcome to your one book show on this Monday, January twelfth.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I hope everybody's having a good start of the weeks. Yeah,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: that's where we are ready mid January. God, time is
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: just flying flying. Maybe because I'm getting older older, I
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: get fast, a time goes. I think that's ninks nice
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: theory of relativity. I'm pretty sure that's what it is.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: All right, guys, we have a lot to talk about
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: as always, and also want to remind you you can
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: ask questions in the super chat, so please feel free
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to do that. John has got John and Jacob have
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: got us off to a banging start right after bat.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: We'll get to the questions in a little bit. But
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: as said, we've got a pretty full program and I
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: had to cut a bunch of stories. I mean, if
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: you're in this business, Trump is just the gift that
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: gives on giving. He he doesn't stop a minute, you know,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: he he he wants to. He's systematically making an attempt
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: to destroy this country and attacking it pretty much on
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: every level. And it's just whoa, It's just it's hard
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: to keep up. It's hard to keep up. So a
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: bunch of stories about I don't know, credit cards and
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: credit card rates being capped, uh and uh and uh.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: You know, the United States maybe taking a stake in
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: American oil companies in order to facilitate the Venezuela thing,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: and uh, not liking Exon but because they didn't give
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: them the right answer in the meeting, so maybe cutting them
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: out of the whole Benetola. Anyway, it just goes on
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: and on with this stuff, So all right, let's start
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: with you on it is. It's getting depressing to do
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: this every day, but I think it's important to keep
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: this top of mind. People there are fighting for their lives. People,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: they are fighting for freedom and fighting for liberty, and indirectly,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: they're fighting for all of us, because, as I've told
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: you many many times, and I continue to say, a
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: fall of the Iranian regime will have a profound impact
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: on the rest on the rest of the world in
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: a good way, in an incredibly positive way, a huge
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: impact on Europe, on Western Europe, and in the United States.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: So they are fighting to some extent for us, and
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: we definitely have a huge interest in there. Yuan has
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: been at war with the United States since nineteen seventy
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: nine November fourth, to be exact, nineteen seventy nine. And
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the Ranian people are now doing the job we should
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: have done decades ago, and I think it's important to
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: talk about them, remind ourselves of them, and cupe that update. Now,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: nothing new good is happening, right, demonstrations continue. They were
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: smaller last night than they were the night before. I
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: think more people are hesitant to go out in the
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: streets when the regime is gutting them down. When you
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: are seeing pictures of body bags piling up and hundreds
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: latest numbers of thousands people have now been murdered, you know,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: over ten thousand maybe injured. People are really hesitating. And
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: that doesn't even include the people who are being that
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: are being arrested. The Ranian regime now have said that
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: they anticipate to start executing the protesters that are being
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: arrested immediately. The officials said they're following expedited courte proceedings.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Court proceedings, yeah, rule of law. Right. The first group
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: of convicted ring leaders of the unrest supposedly will be
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: executed on Wednesday morning, two days. Among those sentences to
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: death is twenty six year old protest if Ron Sultani.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: His execution is scheduled for January fourteenth, just days after
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: his arrest during the protests. Reports say the executions will
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: carry out by hanging. Some of the execution will be
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: executions will be conducted publicly in accordance with Islamic law,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: and of course to show people what happens when you
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: go out into the streets to protest. Sultani's family was
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: informed of the death sentence on January eleventh, so yesterday,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: and granted a brief ten minute visit. Sultani has denied
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: access to a lawyer, denied access to a fair trial,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: then had access to any opportunity for appeal, and it
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: seems like he will be the first in a wave
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: of executions that is about to happen in any run.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: In the meantime, again, hundreds, maybe thousands we killed. The
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: United States is giving no indication of what it's going
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: to do, if it's going to do anything. I mean,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Trump won't say what he is going to do. One
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: of the options is to hand out starlink satellites or
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: things like that. Another option is to you know, bomb,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff, But what exactly and how soon
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: this is all happening.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: There's not a lot of time, not a lot of time,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: and again not.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Easy to do. I think on a previous show I
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: said there were two aircraft carriers in the vicinity. That
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: actually I was wrong. There are no aircraft carriers in
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: the vicinity. They're all under maintenance or in in uh
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: you know, in the South Korea, in the Caribbean Sea.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: You know, we have the beg enemy of Venezuela and
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: or uh or in the Western Pacific uh. You know.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: The United States still has a lot of a lot
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: of military assets in the region. They could take out
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the Ranians easily even without the aircraft carriers. But it
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: does make it a little bit more complicated logistically. No
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: indication that anything is going to happen anytime soon.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: That could be wrong. I hope to be wrong.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Hopefully before Wednesday, before these people are executed, the United
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: States will make it clear the consequences the Ranian regime
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: are behaving in this way. So that is happening. The
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: New York Times, of course, is covering all this as
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: you would expect. This is the headline as death toll
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: surges in yuon leaders take a tough line against protesters,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: it or commits genocide, and I don't know. Mass is
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: something that the New York Scimes has probably used a
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: few times in its history, you know, killing innocent people,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: shooting into crowds and so on. But for now, when
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: it comes to the Iranian regime and Iranian protesters, the
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: line is the line is tough line.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: They're just getting tough.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: It's President Masud Pion this is a subtitle express sympathy
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: for the protesters really as he shoots them, but said
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the state must respond to rioters. Rights groups reported a
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: big spike in the death toll. Must respond to the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: rioters and rioters in writers, I guess in quotation marks
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: but which is good but tough line, tough line and
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: give the president of Iran like like the quote. I mean,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: these people are real bastards particular times. It's just reflecting
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: a phenomenon across the Western world, and that is the
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: phenomena of silence, particularly from the left. Nothing from the
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: left in terms of in terms of you know, argument
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: or vocal, you know, vocal raising their voice in defense
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: of the protesters. Nothing accusatory against the Iranian regime just.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Basically silence.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: From the left, or as in the case of a
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: demonstration in Washington State, the programas liberal demonstrators are harassing
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: the pro Iranian protesters who are marching against the Islamic regime.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: So not just silence but active, active support, active support
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: of the of the you know, horrific regime in Iran
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: that is killing its own people. Indeed, demonstrating against the
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Ranian regime is just in case he knew you didn't know.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: It's important that, you know, demonstrating against the Islami Kugim
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: and speaking up against the Islami Kugim is islamophobic. Islamophobic
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Islamists allowed to kill people. It's okay when they kill people.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: It's only Westerners who are not allowed to kill anybody
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: and suddainly not allowed to complain when Islamists kill people,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: whether it's Ramas or whether it's the Ranians. The head
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: of the Democratic DSA Democratic Socialists of America, Democratic Socialist
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: in America, this is the organization that made Mombotany will
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: get to Mamdani later, the head of the u DSA International.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: This is uh you know, he's posting long live to
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Lahomani hominy and the Islamic Republic of you won. They
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: are openly explicitly citing with the Islamic Republic. These are
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: the people who claim to be for I don't know
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: gay rights, therefore women's rights, therefore.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know equality.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Well no, I mean, if you're an Islamist, if you're
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: if you're a Muslim authorbitarian. No, no, they're no such
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: thing as gay rights, no such thing as women rights.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: And suddenly shooting people in the streets a okay, it's
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: completely okay to kill demonstrators in mass according to the
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Democratic Socialists of America. Yuh, if you're an Islamist, they
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: have special approval. Jacobean Magazine another one of these, uh,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: you know, socialist magazines as protesting Gulf You on Israel
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: see is an opportunity. But you know, the protests sweeping
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: through Iran are not the first of their kind, but
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: the threat of a continuation of Israel the US war
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: has led Tehuan to see them as an existential threat.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: So you can understand the Ranians. I mean, I mean,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: if not for Israel in the United States, they wouldn't
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: be shooting people in the streets at all. No. I mean,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: they're very friendly towards their own people on a regular basis.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: But because Israel and you are in the US are
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: threatening violence and there's a whole war going on by
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: these imperialist powers, it's just unacceptable. Its mass protest before,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: but never at a time of what it describes. Yeah,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: let's just present what it inscribes as total war with Israel,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: the United States and Europe. The current wave risks becoming
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: a new front in this war. It's just disgusting, disgusting.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: You know. Over the weekend, the United Nations posted about
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Gaza twice. They posted about the Ozon Laya ones, hate
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: speech online ones, Uganda, Syria, and World Hindi Day all
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: got notices from the United Nations. Not a single word
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: about the hundreds of young Uranians being slaughtered by their
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: own regime, by their own government. One video reposted about
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Iran saying that those responsible for any violations must be
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: held to account. You know, they want to have maybe
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Israel's responsible, I mean it's probably the Jews. I mean,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure the Jews are behind us. We don't
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: want to talk about Hamini, No, not mansion or the
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Islamic revolutionary God. No, they're not mansied. We're condemning violence
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: in you Wan, the generic violence in you Won. So
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the left is silent or if anything, taking the side
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: of the regime. And you want what.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Hell is going on? And this says a long history.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: In nineteen seventy nine, when I told Hamiani king to
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: power or was trying to achieve power in Iran Michel Foucaut,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: you know, one of the eat leftists of the twentieth century,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: of the late twentieth century, at least cheer on the
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Iranian Revolution. Why or because the Iranians, the Ayatulas, the
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Islamists opposed Western imperialism, the real evil in the world,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: and Islam ultimately was just a forceful spiritual awakening. They
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: still believe this, They still hold this. Islam are the
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: good guys. What drives the left more than anything else,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: in almost everything that they do and everything that they hold.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: What drives them it is not a love for anything.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: It's not a belief in egalitarianism. It's not a belief
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: in progress or achievement, as maybe existed in the old left.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: What drives the left today is a hatred of the West,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: an anti Western mentality, an anti Enlightenment mentality, just like
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: you know, everybody hates the Enlightenment left n right. They
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: hate the West, they hate Europe, they hate America, they
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: hate countries around the world who adopting Western values. They
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: hate capitalism. They despise capitalism. They despise the freedom of capitalism.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: They despise the wealth that capitalism creates. It ultimately destroys
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the environment. The left is anti life, and therefore they
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: don't care about freedom in Iran. They don't care about
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Iranian demonstrators. Indeed, they hate the Iranian demonstrators because they
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: listen to Western music and they read Western books, and
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: they want to turn you want into God forbid a
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Western country. They admire the Mullahs because the Mullas resist
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: the West. They stand up to the West, they fight
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the West. Now what shocking is that the Iranians know this.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: So I found two posts over the last couple of
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: days of Iranians grappling with this question of why has
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: the West? Why have less Western liberals West? They're left
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: in the West betrayed them? Why are they ignoring them?
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: So I want to read you. I want to read
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: you these because they're quite insightful they're quite insightful. They
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: get this in a way that very few Westerners do. Now,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: this one is from Tamine God the boat Zogi. I
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: don't know if that's a real name. You know, she's
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: ah it says here she's she's in the United States
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: a sense, but she's obviously Uranian. She's an attorney at
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, Okay, now all is revealed. I didn't notice
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: this when I when I picked her up. She's an
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: attorney at IJ and she for Justice, one of the
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: great you know, institutions, nonprofits out there.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: That really understand. So let's let's read what she says.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: The Western liberal media is ignoring the Iranian uprising because
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: explaining it would force an admission it is desperate to avoid.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: The Iranian people are rebelling against Islam itself, and that
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: fact shatters the mall framework from which these institutions understand
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: the world. Ideally, to cover an uprising, it's not just
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: to show crowds and slogans. It requires answering a basic question.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Why are people risking death in Iran? And the answer
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: is simple and not avoidable. The people are rising up
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: because the Islamic Republic of Iran has spent decades, suffocating
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: every aspect of life, speech, work, family, art, women, and
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: economic survival under a clerical system that treats liberty as
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: a crime. There is no way to tell that story
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: without confronting the nature of the regime. Western media refuses
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: to do so because it has fundamentally misunderstood Islam, or, worse,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: it has chosen not to understand it. Islam in Western
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: progressive discourse has been radical iracialized. It is treated not
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: as a belief system or political ideology, but as a
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: stand in for race or ethnicity. Criticizing Islam is framed
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: as an attack on brown people, Arabs, or the Middle East,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: as if Islam were skin color rather than a doctrine.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: This confusion is rooted in historical illiteracy. Western liberal media
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: routinely collapsed entire civilizations in the single stereotype all Middle
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Eastern Arabs, all Arabs are Muslims, and all Muslims on
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: mono monolithic oppressed identity group by white European colonizers. Iranians
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: disappear entirely in this framework. Their language, history and culture Persian,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: not Arab, ancient, not colonial, distinct, non interchangeable, or erased
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: by treating Islam as a racial identity rather than an ideology.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Western media strips millions of people of their ability to
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: reject it. Iranian protesters become unintelligible. Their rebellion cannot be
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: processed without breaking the rule that Islam must not be criticized,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: So instead of listening to Iranians, the media speaks over
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: them or ignores them entirely. There is another reason the
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Uranian uprising is so threatening to Western media is economic issues.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: As you know, Iran is not only a religious dictatorship.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: It is essentially controlled, state dominated economy where markets are strangled,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: private enterprise is criminalized or co opted, and economic survival
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: depends on proximity to political power. Decades of price control, subsidies, nationalization,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: and bureaucratic micromanagement have obliterated the middle class. An entrenched
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: corruption as the only functional system. The result is not
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: equality or justice. It is poverty, stagnation, and dependence on
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: government government's dark void of empty promises. Covering Iran honestly
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: would require acknowledging that these policies are harmful, the same
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: reason why they can't. They can't really cover Venezuela. They
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: have been tried, they have failed, catastrophically. This is deeply
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: inconvenient for Western media institutions that routinely promote expansive state control,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: centralized economic planning, and technocratic governance as morally enlightened alternatives
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: to liberal capitalism. Iran demonstrates where such systems lead when
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: insulated from accountability and enforced by ideology. It shows that
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: when the state controls livelihoods, nonconformity becomes existentially dangerous. That
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: lesson cannot be acknowledged without undermining them all authority of
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: those who advocate similar ideas in softer language. Western liberal
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: media prefers not to hear this acknowledging. It would require
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: abandoning the lazy moral categories that dominate modern discourse. This
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: has stayed out of woke right oppress unoppressed, colonized and
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: colonized white and non white Iranian protesters do not fit.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: They show that authoritarianism is not a Western invention in
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: both from outside, but something many societies are actively trying
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: to escape. That is what terrifies Western liberal media, and
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: that is why the Uranian people are being ignored and
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: the silence continues. That's really good. I mean, you don't
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: have to agree with every word in every formulation. But
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: that is good, and it's exactly right. We've talked about
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: this over and over again. It doesn't fit into their
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: press are pressed Gaza does. Israel equals Jews equals white
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: equals privileged equals rich, Palestinians equals brown equals oppressed equals poor.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Oppress are pressed easy. Colonizer colonized Jews colonizes Palestinians, colonized white,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: non white fits perfectly. What do you do with you on?
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: They're all the same color, they're all the same religion,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: they're all I mean, oppressor doesn't act actually fit because
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: to be an oppressor you have to be white, you
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: have to be colonized that you have to be a
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: you know, an imperialist. And these are local oppressors. These
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: are these are oppressors right there, and they're pressing through
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: socialism or or you know, which is the system these
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: people believe in and and think is the right system.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: They're pressing through central planning, which they advocate for. So
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: it doesn't it doesn't fit. There's no colonizer, colonized. They're
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: all natives. There's no white, non white, they're all non white.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: They can't process. Oh, they can. Of course, they don't
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: want to process. They're so infected they minds, they so
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: crippled their minds by modern post modern philosophy, by by
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: postcolonial whatever, by by intersectionality, by woke which captals I
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: think all of them. One of the posts from a
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: young Uranian girl. She's Zootastrian, she says, although I'm Uranian.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Everyone keeps asking the same question over and over again,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: what's wrong with the leftists? Why are they so noisy?
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Why are they so noisy? Why do they support the
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Gaza strip but remain completely silent when it comes to Iran.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: That it's a simple because the truth exposes the lie,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: because acknowledging Iran destroys the ideological fantasy that they have built.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Let's be clear, the Islamic Republic of.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Iran is not a victim of Western imperialism.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: It is a theocratic authoritarian regime that exists by exporting violence,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: funding Islamist groups, and suppressing its own people. Yes, it
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: finds Ramas, it funds Risbella. All these small POxy groups
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: in the region are worldwide, are finance with Uranian money,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: not governor regime money. There is no such thing but
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: stolen funds, money taken from workers who today in Iran
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: cannot even afford bread for families destroyed by inflation, from
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: women who are beaten in prison, tortured and raped for
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: refusing religious submission. And that is exactly why they. Leftists
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: are silent because Hamas feeds their narrative, but Iranian people
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: do not. Because Islamist violence against the Israelis can be
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: turned into resistance, but Islamist violence against Iranians reveals the truth.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: At this very moment, as you read this Iranic country
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: of over ninety two million people is being destroyed in
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: real time, almost a complete blackout for almost twenty four hours.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: This is a couple of days ago, no internet, no
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: phone connection, no communication at all, and silence, No urgent
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: protests at Western universities, no hashtags, no statements of solidarity,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: no megaphones, because the suffering of Urraisians does not fit
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: their agenda, because modern leftist movements are no longer driven
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: by human rights. They're driven by selective outrage and ideological loyalty.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: They will scream about censorship unless it is done by
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: an Islamist regime. They will condemn state violence to the fullest,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: but will never say a word if that violence is
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: wrapped in religious language. They chant free Palestine, but will
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: never say free Iran because that would require one difficult
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: admission that political Islam is not liberation, it is domination.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: And by the way, this is happening in the West
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: today as well. The Islamik Republic is not anti imperialist,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: it is imperialist toward its own people. Hamas is not
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: an isolated resistance group, it is part of a broader
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Islamist ecosystem funded trained is supported by regimes like the
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Islamik Republic of Iran.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: Here's the party part they do not want to hear.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: You cannot claim all superiority while justifying a regime that
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: kills women and punishes them for refusing the hi job,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: kills protesters, cuts off the Internet for ninety two million
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: strong nation, and uses fond proxy groups to cover up
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: its own internal collapse.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: You cannot pretend to care about.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Palestinians while gnowing Uranians who are being shot, tortured, and
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: killed by the Islamic Republic. This is not solidarity, this
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: is ideological blindness. The Uranian people are not silent, they
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: are forced into silence. The silence a Western leftist. Is
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: their choice, a choice to defend ideology, justify Islamism, and
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: turn a blind eye to the suffering of millions because
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: the pain of the Iranian people complicates the slogans. History
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: will remember this moment. It will remember who spoke about
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: universal freedom and who decided that some lives are less
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: important than preserving narrative. Long Live you On. She's really young.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: I see the video. Really young? Uh, I mean that
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: is super articulate for young person. I don't know if
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: she's speaking from you On. She's got to speaks englishple
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: with a heavy Uranian accent, so I'm assuming she's in Irano.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: She's recently left you On. These are incredibly courageous people
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: fighting a real fight. And they're not just courageous, they
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: get it. They get what is crippling the left in
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: the West. They complaining the left. What's complaining the left
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: in the West is the left ideology, the ideology of
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: you know, postmodernism, and and and so on. If you're
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: interested in the video, I am reposting it on Twitter.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: So it is on Twitter, and let me just I'll
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: repost the other one as well. I think I did already,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: but I'm going to repost it again, so yeah, let me.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: I'm going to quote. So all right, So if you
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: go to my Twitter account, my Twitter feed, you can
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: find both of those videos. Highly recommend it. And uh,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: what does it What does it mean to subscribe to
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: somebody's feed versus h I don't know, I'm not sure
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: what that means, subscribe versus follow. Okay, let's follow and
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: then all right, follow, right, So then you have it,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: the silence of the West of left. It's not like
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: anybody in the right is making a big deal out
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: of this. Trump mentions it. Once in a while, we'll
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: see what actually happens. We're not seeing Western leaders make
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: a big deal out of it. We're not, really We're
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: seeing silence across the board. Nobody really cares. Nobody really cares.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: But to large extent, this represents the real battle of
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: civilization versus barbarism that we face always and it seems
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: like a big chunk of the West is sighting with
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: the barbarists, the barbarians, or it's just silent, and that's
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: silent really means sighting with the barbarians, That's what it means.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: And if you side with the barbarians. Don't be surprised.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Don't be surprised when the barbarians at your doorstep, when
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: they knock down your walls, they take over your institutions,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: and you just succumb to them in your own backyard,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: never mind across the ocean. So yeah, tragic. I as I,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: as I said, I will keep you posted in terms
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: of what is going on in Iran as as we
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: move forward in the days and weeks to come, I will,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: I will keep you updated. I hope at some point
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Trump will actually do something. Uh you know, it's it's
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: completely dependent on his whim, on his emotion, so it's improbable,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: possible to predict. And it's who who whispered in his
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: ear last and who there cares. Clearly, people like JD.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Vance are suggesting not to do anything. Hopefully there are
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: people there like Rubio who probably wants to do something,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: who has more influence on what given day, and hard
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: to tell. It's impossible because there's no principal guiding this administration.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: It is emotion expediency. Uh, wim wim of the leader,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: our own supreme leader. We have one, our leaders. All right,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: All right, let's move to some domestic story domestic policy stories,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: and the big one that hit over the weekend is
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: that the Justice Department, as uh you know, started investigation,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: uh you started a grand jury, granduurate investigation, grand jury
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: subpoenas a threatening a criminal indictment against Jome Jum Paul
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: John Paul, the ahead of the Federal Reserve. Now there's no
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: question about the motivation for this. As somebody said, was
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: this there was a great I think it was Peter
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: schiff at a great one. Yeah. Here it is. This
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: is Peter shift in essence, the debartner of Justice. Once
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: they indict Powell for lying to Congress, but all fed
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: chares of light to Congress every time they've testified, and
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: members of Congress lied to fit chairs and.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: To the constituents.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: The President lies too, so that Devener of Justice should
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: indict them all. Yeah, I mean, the reality is that
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: the only reason for this diirement this is about the
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: the construction costs of the renovation of the Federals are building.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: And supposedly Powell, when he testified in front of Congress
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: about the renovation, lied about the costs or lied about
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: how they came about about the renovations of a building.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: We talk about a president who's just not knocked out.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: What the East wing to build a you know, a ballroom,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: and and it lies about it all the time. And
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: now we have to be concerned about this of all
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: the problems in the world. And yet that's clearly not
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: why he's being indicted. He's being indicted to put pressure
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: on him to lower industrates. He's being indicted as a
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: form of getting rid of the independence of the Federal Reserve.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Now generally Powell. Look, I'm now a fan of Powells.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of the Federal Reserve at all.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: I believe in his abolishment, and I've not been a
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: fan of POWs Powell's. Powell did not respond well to inflation,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: did not respond well to the end of inflation. Has
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: just not been a very good chairman of the Fed
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: in my view. I was against pau being appointed to
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: fitch him and it was a much better, more qualified
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: candidate at the time. Uh God, economists from Stanford whose
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: name just slipped my mind, who I was advocating for.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: But Donald Trump in his first term appointed Juan Powell.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Trump doesn't like Paull because Powell, at least in the
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: second round, is not bending the knee he did in
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: his first term in twenty eighteen, Paul bent the knee.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Trump wanted an interstates lowered and Paul did. Or Trump
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: didn't want them increased, and Powell stopped increasing them and
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: lowered them. This time, he's not bending the knee. And
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: the consequence of you're not betting the knee is he's
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: out with Trump. Trump is just vicious towards him, and
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: he wants him to resign before his term is up
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: in May. Trump wants to lower interestrates now, and the
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: idea is if he lowers interestates now, the economy will
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: supposedly according to Trump boom, which will change the dynamics
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: of the of the twenty six election. For Congress waiting
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: until May to put in a new FED chair, It's
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: not clear even if he lowers into states at that
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: point if it'll have enough impact on the economy to
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: sway the elections. That's what's motivating this. This is just
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: an attempt to pressure Pow. Powell generally has resisted kind
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: of getting into a tit for tat with with Trump,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: but yesterday he actually put out a video statement. So
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: I want to read you the statement. I'm doing a
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: lot of reading today. I want to read you the
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: statement from Joan Powell because it's by the fact.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: I don't like him.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's done a good job, and I
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: hate to FED on this one. Just like Peter Schiff,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: and just like others who resent Powell and resent the FED,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: I'm with Powell one hundred percent of Donald Trump on this.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: This is a statement on Friday, the Partner of Justice
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: serve the Federals with great in jury subpoenas threatening a
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: criminal indictment related to my testimony before the Bank the
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Senate Banking Committee last June. That testimony concerned, in part,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: a multi year project to renovate the historic Federal Reserve
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: office building. I have the deep respects to the rule
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: of law and for accountability in our democracy. No one,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: certainly not the chairman of the Federal Reserve is above
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: the law. But this unprecedented action should be seen in
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: the broader context of the Administration's threats and ongoing pressure.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: This new threat is not about my testimony last June
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: or about.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: The renovation of the Federal Reserve buildings.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: It is not about Congress's oversight role the FED through
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: testimony and other public disclosures, made every effort to keep
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Congress informed about the renovation project.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Those are pretexts.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: the preferences of the President.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: This is about whether the Federal will.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Be able to continue to set interest rates based on
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: evidence and economic conditions, or whether instead monetary policy will
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: be directed by political pressure or intimidation. I have served
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: as the Federal Reserve at the Federal Reserve under for administrations.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: He was a governor at the Federal Reserve before Trump
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: appointed him to chair. Republicans and Democrats alike. In every case,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: I have carried out my duties with our political fear
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: or favor, focus solely on our mandate, price stability and
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: maximum employment. Public service sometimes requires standing firm in the
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: face of threats. I will continue to do the job
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: the Senate confirm me to do with aguity and a
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: commitment to serving the American people. That is good. That's
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: a good statement. Now he is a central planner. He
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: can't do the job well. He can do the job, okay,
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: he can do the job really badly. You can't do
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: the job really well because there is no sustaining is
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: really good central planning. But I can tell you this,
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: whatever he does, he's going to do it better than
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: the whims of President Trump, or the whims or desires
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: or wishes of any president Republican, Democrat, independent, I don't care.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: So you know, the FED shouldn't.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: Exist, but if it does exist, better for it to
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: be independent then to be at the beck and call
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: of the president. Fast time the Federals have acted as
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: if it was a tbeca call of a president were
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: during the nineteen seventies, and what we got out of
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: that was the highest inflation rates in American history outside
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: of wars. So good for Joan Powell for standing up.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: This further exposes the kind of mindless, thuggish, thuggish mentality
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: of Trump and his administration. Is it is for the
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: evidence of how unqualified the people who are governing us,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: how unqualified they are to govern us, how destructive their
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: policies are, and how they are completely motivated by demands
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: for you know, everybody to bend the knee to their
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: whims and wishes and demands. Uh, let's see there was
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: a let me find this. Yeah, there was a statement
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: issued earlier today by signed by every former living Fed
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: chairman Bnanke, Green, Span and Yellen, a whole slew of
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: bipartisan former Treasury Secretaries Gaidna Poulsen and others, bipartisan former
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: chief Economic advisor, chief economic advisors to President Hubbard, Manku,
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: and Roma, as well as Jason Furman. This is not
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: a controversial issue. This is not a left or right issue.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: This is a Trump versus the rest of the world issue.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: This is the statement The Federal Reserve's independence and the
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: public's perception of that independence a crucial for economic performance,
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: including achieving the goals Congress as set for the Federal
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: Reserve stable prices, maximum employment, and moderate long term interest rates.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: The reported no inquiry into the Federals of che J.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: Powell is an unprecedented attempt to use prosecutional attacks to
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: undermine that independence. This is how monetary policy is made
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: in emerging markets. Yeah, Banana republics, you should have said,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: with weak institutions with high negative consequences for inflation and
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: functioning of their own economies, it has no place in
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: the United States, whose greatest strength is the rule of law,
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: which is the foundation of our economic success. Pretty brutal,
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: pretty boudou it is. You know, gold is way up
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: again as a consequence over forty six hundred, so silver
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: way up. They're both hitting records today. Silver is up
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: eight percent to Luxton because of this, I mean, without
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: an independent FED, you can expect massive inflation, massive inflation,
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: good for gold, good for silver, and they are reflecting that.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: Bad for the US, bad for economy, bad for freedoms,
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: bad for freedoms. And look, the consequence of this kind
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: of policy is what you get is totys and ideological
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: loyalties running complex institutions. That's what you get. You get
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: people who willing to bend the need. The standard is loyalty.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: That's it. Nothing else matters. All this while US government
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: debt has gone through the roof interest on the debt
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: is now one point two trillion dollars. I mean, Trump
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: thinks that by lowering interest rates, interest on the debt
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: will go down, but that's not necessarily the case. The
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: FED can lower the interest rates that pays on reserves
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: that banks hold with it, but people might not be
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: willing to buy government bonds unless the government compensates them.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: With significant interest because of the risk of inflation. The
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: reality is we're not paying interest. The US government is
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: paying interest on its debt of one point two trillion dollars.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: That's up five percent from a year ago. Federal interest
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: costs have doubled over the last four years, so you know,
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: this is part of what bugs Trump bugs Trump. All right, Yeah,
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: before we go on, a couple of things. People are
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: asking about this poll at the top. So the pole
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: at the top is basically asking a question, would you
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: be willing to pay X amount one hundred fIF if
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: you're twenty five a month, above and beyond what you
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: do today? This is above and beyond what you're doing,
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: although I can't control that, really above and beyond what
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: you support the show. But this is four a study
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: group on OPAH. OPAH is the book behind me right
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: objectives in the philosophy of Vine Ran. This book which
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: we would go chapter by chapter, page by page, and
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: cover from the beginning, you know, starting with the preface
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: all the way through chapter one, which is reality, all
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: the way to the end. This could take a year
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: or two, but basically what I would commit to is
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: two sessions a month, about two hours each and The
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: idea is to have a small group. Everybody would be
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: on zoom so they could be a conversation. It's a
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: dense read. It's it's it's not easy. I mean dense
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: in the in the in the dense philosophically not it's
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: very well written, very very very very well written. It's
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: a brilliant book. And uh, it's it's the way to
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: go over. The way to read it is with a
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: group and discussion and have a discussion about it. We
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: would do it as a class, but to do it
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: it has to be with my wile. That is that's
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: a lot of time. That's a commitment for like a
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: couple of a year or two. It's a lot. So
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: the reality is, though, why we have twenty five dollars
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: up there as an option. I wouldn't do it for
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: twenty five dollars a month because let's say twenty five
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: dollars a month. Even if we got twenty people, that's
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: five hundred dollars a month. It's just not both my
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: time to do five hundred dollars a month. We're talking
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: about four hours, and I don't want more than twenty
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: people because then the zoom call becomes too much, right,
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: it becomes too crazy. So fifty maybe a hundred is
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: now getting interesting, right, one hundred gets interesting because that
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: now is you know, two thousand a month. If it's twenty,
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: if it's fifteen, then it's fifteen hundred a month. That
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: is much more reasonable in terms of devoting my time
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: to doing it. So you know, it's up to you
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: right now. So that's that's what the poll is about,
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: and that's that's fine. So take take what I just
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: said into account on how you vote. If there's interest,
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: we'll do it. If there isn't, we won't. It's it's
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: as easy as that. You know, there's no no, And
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: this isn't a commitment because it's it's anonymous, but please,
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: you know, vote based on what you really think. So
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: I don't start this under the assumption that we're going
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: to get a lot of people and then they don't.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: But yes, but if you're voting, you know, most of
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: you are voting twenty five percent a month, and then
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: actually the largest percentages of people are not interested, which
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: is understandable, and that is fine. So everything everything in
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: OPAH is gold. If you want to understand objectivism, if
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: you really want to understand Iinran's philosophy. It is the
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: book to read. It's the book to read. All right,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: Let's see what else did I want to say? Yeah,
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: I want to remind you that tonight tonight we have
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: Gina Golin on for an interview. You know, so that
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: that is going to be Gene is amazing, So I
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: think you'll really enjoy it. So join us for Gina.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: That is at seven pm Eastern time tonight. We'll be
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: talking about, you know, defining a life of genuine ambition.
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: She's really really good on the question of ambition and
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: when that looks like So now the poll, It is
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: going to appear on a few shows. Only vote once, please,
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: otherwise it distorts it. But vote, you know, if you're
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: not inted, vote, you know, the more people I have voting,
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: the better sense I have of what's really going on.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: You can vote on your phone, you can vote on
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: there on if you're watching online. However you're watching, you
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: can vote, so please do so if you are online,
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: so do that? All right? Uh? Yes, so yeah, I
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: mean other than nine ran Opah is the most important
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: book in objectivism without any question. All right, let's see.
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: So we talked about the shooting.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to talk about the shooting, but what
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: we've seen on this weekend is just astounding, a massive
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: escalation of ICE's you know, obnoxiousness, violence, getting in people's faces,
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: pushing people around, grabbing photos, pulling people out of workplaces
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: and pinning them to the ground. Ice is now being
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: basically let loose. Right if you can murder somebody on
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: live video and get away with it, which is what
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: it looks like is going to happen and get labeled
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: by Summer Hero, then what the hell?
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: What the hell?
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: Might as well start knocking people down, grabbing their cameras,
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: punching people might as well, you know, who cares? If
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: the citizens, they're already not caring. You know, if you
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: have a funny accent, or if you have brown skin,
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: then you're immediately suspect and you have to prove that
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: you're not guilty. Ice is out of control. And the
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: response to the murder it was not only the government
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: justifying it, but this anymore of these ICE thugs And
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: that's what they are. They're just thugs. I mean, they're
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: hiring thugs. The qualifications are being lowered dramatically. They just
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: want thugs. You know, Proud Boys has just become Ice
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: and you know they have sent hundreds more agents to Minneapolis,
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: in Minnesota more broadly, and you know, again no rule
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: of law, no policing standards. I mean literally, you can
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: murder somebody and get away with it if you're a
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: Ice thug. So imagine what else you can do.
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: Imagine what else you can do.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: Here's the President of the United States was asked on
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: FOS one, do you believe deadly force was necessary? Transsports
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: to that was they were highly disrespectful of law enforcement.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: So you know, this is new in America and important.
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: You should used to know this. This is this is
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: a big deal now in America. In America now, if
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: you're disrespectful to law enforcement, it's okay to shoot you.
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: Somebody else.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: You know. It told me that when I reposted a
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: thing where a guy gets shoved to the ground and
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: Ice just jumps on him, and it's like, you know,
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: how horrific is this?
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: And the guy said, yeah, he was acting like a prick.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: He deserved it.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: So in America now, in America, Land of the Free,
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: the Home of the Baby drone tread on me. And
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: in that land, if you if you act as a
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: prick towards the authorities. Violence is fine, no problem.
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: Holman, the head of you know.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: ICE and the whole immigration thing, was on television. He
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: was asked, this is their question. Nom called it an
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: act of domestic terrorism. What's the evidence for that allegation,
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: He says, if they didn't have sanctuary policies. Trying to
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: change the topic, the interviewer goes to be clear, is
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: anyone who protests ICE a domestic terrorist? Holman says, protest ICE,
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: It's a case by case basis. If you look at
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: the definition of terrorism, it certainly could fall within the definition.
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: So if you're going out then filming, If you're going
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: out there just demonstrating ICE, go home. We don't like
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: you Ice. Stop what you're doing. Or if you're honking
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: to make a noise when ICE is rating somewhere, you
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: are now a terrorist terrorist. I mean, they could use
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: drones to shoot you and kill you. Well maybe not
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: in the US. Yet they still only can use a
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: gun to shoot you and kill you. Unbelievable. This is
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: some homan who received a fifty thousand dollars cash bribe
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: from an FBI and a cover agent, and that case
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: has suddenly disappeared from the justice upon Madrida, and I
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: guess he gets to keep the fifty thousand. I guess,
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: So we're not corrupt. Ice is becoming more brutal. ICE
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: is going to become more and more brutal. Not just
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: because they're not trained and they recruits are substandard and
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: they act in on a professional way and they're not
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: taught professionalism. No, this is because these people sincerely believe
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: that this is some kind of race war, that they're
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: being replaced by bound people, that they have the authority
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: of the state behind them to do whatever is necessary
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: to win this war. The soldiers going out to combat
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: against people who are invaders, remember immigrants, the invaders who
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: are replacing them replacement theory. Remember that that meme that
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: I showed you Where they want to They want to
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: deport one hundred million people from America. That means a
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: lot of you and me, certainly me, because they're no
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: one hundred million illegal immigrants. So where do you get
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: one hundred million all blacks and browns and maybe some
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: Jews and maybe some people who got naturalized naturalized citizens
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: of the United States. If you believe that immigration is
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: an invasion whose goal is there were on an impression
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: of the white race. Then it's a whall. And that's
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: what these people believe, that's what motivates them, that's what's
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: driving them, that's what they've been brainwashed with, and that's
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: what nobody in this administration will deny.
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: And again you can find, you know, just over and
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: over again.
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: You see these videos online, masked federal police, masked federal offices,
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: beating up bystanders because they don't know what they're saying,
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: because they don't want to be filmed, because they're offended.
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: Remember Woke when we got upset because Woke was using
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: violence because they got offended. They want to use violence
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: against people. That's what ICE is doing right now. They're
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: offended the poor delicate souls. Somebody said in the super chat,
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: what was it? I think I think Jacob says. He says,
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: I agree with you with ICE, just me personally, young
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: kids at home. I would never stop to get in
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: the middle of a law enforcement operation. Yeah, I mean
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: I get that. I get that, And you have to
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: put in the context of your values. You have to
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: figure out how important is this right now for you.
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: I think I'm glad I live in Puerto Rico because
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: it keeps me out of trouble, because I don't know
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: if I could resist. I mean, I am so upset
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: by ICE. I mean, this is fascism in our streets
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: that I don't know if I could resist going there
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: with the camera, yelling at them, arguing with them, to
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: be eating them and getting beaten up as a consequence.
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I could resist. I mean, it's
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: the same. I don't know if if I lived in
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: a city like New York, could I resist all those
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: Hamas demonstrators, you know, going over there and yelling at them,
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: and and and and and being nasty to them. Could
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: I resist it? I don't think I could. I don't
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: think I could. Oh so, somebody being accused now of
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: being a uh, you know, generalizer. You know I'm generalizing
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: if you join ICE here, I I'm gonna say, if
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: you join ICE under these circumstances to do what these
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: bastards are doing, then you are not a good person.
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: Maybe you're not technically a racist, but you are not
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: a good person. And if you're joining RICE right now
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: under these circumstances, most of you are racists. Maybe not
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: all of you. Most of you are racists. None of
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: you are good people. Now, some of you might be
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: mistaken or confused. Okay, mistaken and confused, I'll let you that.
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: Taking and confused about an important thing. If you're shooting
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: a woman because you know you felt threatened by her car,
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: even though you managed to scoot away before your head,
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: and you shoot her three times, even when you're not
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: being threatened at all anymore, because you're shooting her from
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: the side window, there's something wrong with you. You're not
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: a good person. You're not a good person. Now you
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: can blame this all on my TDS. Go ahead. That's
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: one way for you to evade the consequences of what
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: you think and what you believe and the kind of
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: America you a creating by your silence and by your
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: acceptance and by your being in a you know, by
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: apologizing for Donald Trump and sanctioning Ice.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: That's fine if it makes you feel.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: Better to think that this is all just driven by
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: my TDS. He got hit, really, maybe he got scraped
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: a little bit. The tire didn't go over his feet,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: you can see that in the video. Clearly didn't touch
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: his feet, and his feet wereth front and yet he
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: kept his balance enough to draw a gun, pointed a
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: wind shield, shoot and then from the side take two
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: other shots to her head.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: I'm the one with TDS.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: Really, you guys are suffering from uh you know, from
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: Trump's zombie syndrome.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: You were like zombies. Anything Trump and his goons do
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: is okay, that's what's going on here.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: But that's fine, that's fine, and all in the name
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: of what. Arresting people at target because they're working, Oh
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: my god, what a sin. They didn't get the right
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: paperwork when they crossed over the border. The woman weaponized
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: their vehicle. That's right. You had machine guns on the side,
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: and she was driving straight for the for the for
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: the ICE agents, straight directly at him. She didn't turn
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: the wheel before, she wasn't veering away from him. No, no,
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: my eyes deceive me. I can't see. You guys are nuts.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: You guys are nuts. You guys refuse, refuse to see
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: what's in front of your face, because you will defend
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: ICE no matter what they do. Because this is exactly
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: how you get fascism, This is exactly how you get authoritarianism.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: When people generally good people, generally people who think of
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: themselves as good people. Turn up blind eye to the
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: evil of the regime, turn a blind eye to the
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: thugs in the streets working for the regime. Remember the
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: fascist slogan, actually the Nazi slogan. There was Nazi Germany.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: I in vulk in Reich, I in fure. Remember that
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: one I in vulk in Reich in fure, big slogan
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: of the Nazi Party. Well, this weekend, our Department of
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: Labor chose to publish this One homeland, one people, one heritage.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: Remember you are American. These people are getting really spooky,
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: really really spooky. I didn't make this up. Now, how
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: how how long before it becomes one homeland, one people,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: one president, one homeland, one people, one president, or one
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: I mean right now it's one homeland, one people, one heritage.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: So only one kind of people really matter, the heritage
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: ones those heritage Americans. They also came out, Homeland Security
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: came out. That was the Department of Labor. Part of
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: Labor is now telling you that one homeland, defend the homeland.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: This is Homeland Security, Defend the homeland, protect the American
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: way of life. The NonStop lies and spears from the
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: fake news. I'm meant to tear down I brave men
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: and women who protect our homeland every day, defend the homeland.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: It's now unpatriotic to criticize ICE. I am going against
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: the homeland. You know the risks I'm taking right now, supposedly,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: but this is the world in which we live. Yeah.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: And again, the United States, the part of the labor
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: also chose this weekend to post reject globalism, embrace Americanism.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: Globalists are coming. Beware, beware, reject globalism, embrace Americanism. I mean,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: we've got we're developing now internally our own fascist slogans,
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: just for the well, it's all for the fatherland, right.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: These people are spooky, and yet I have TDS. Don't
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: know where it comes from. I have no idea where
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: it comes from. No idea, no idea. All right, here's
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: another story that'll make you unhappy. So we've remember, but
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: not that long ago. It probably still happens that right now,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: but not getting as much press as it used to
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: because I think there's been a backlash against it. The
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: woke idea that sudden views could not be taught at
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: our universities, and our universities from Harvard all the way
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: down to state schools all over the place. Basically, there
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: was a woke agenda. There were woke classes, there was
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: woke things, and you couldn't teach, you know, you couldn't
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: teach otherwise you had to teach the propaganda coming out
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: of sudden leftist apartments. And if you taught certain things,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: they might offend and they might trigger, and you had
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: to put trigger warnings and you had to condition everything.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: You had to be really careful what you said on campuses.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: And yeah, we talked about this. We talked about the
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: fact on free speech and the impact on free speech
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: that the left was having and how they, as the left,
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: was in doing so. Well, now we get the same thing,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: but now from the right. Texas legislature, Texas legislature, this
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: last thing has passed a bill that now controls what
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: can be taught on public university campuses. The First Amendment
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: be damned, but I guess it's public universities. What kind
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: of control do legislatives have over public universities?
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: Unclear? Undefined, unclear, undefined.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: So last fall Texas A and M University system decided
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: that they were going to, you know, purge the curriculum
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: for anything smacking of woke and impose new standards on faculty. Now, look, universities,
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: if they're private, can do whatever they want. They can
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: decide what to teach. There is no such thing as
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: academic freedom in the context of a private university. And
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: of course it's ambiguous what it even means in a
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: public university, because universities have to have standards.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: You don't teach everything.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: But this is not This is not driven by the university.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: This is driven by a law, a bill coming down
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: from the legislature. Now, if that isn't a violation of
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: free speech, I don't know what is.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: In one particular case.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: Written about by Greg Lukianoff Lukianif as the president executive
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: director of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression what
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: is called FIRE, a good organization that the iron industry
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: has worked with in the past on issues of free
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: speech regularly, now has this op ad in The New
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: York Times. He writes about modern pter in Texas, A
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: and M University philosophy professor he was presented last week
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: with a choice. He could either bring his class in
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: line with a prohibition on certain types of materials that
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: deal with race agenda ideology and to do that, he
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: would have to emit readings from Plato from his class,
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: or he could teach a different class, because this class
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: would not be taught, in other words, materials from Plato. Indeed,
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: Plato's Symposium a classic of Western philosophy. And I'm not
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: a fan of Plato, certainly not a flat of his symposium,
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: but it's a classic.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: The students could not read because it.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: Raised it raised issues regarding gender, ideology and race. Not
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: on any particular side, right, this is a class that
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: discusses current philosophical issues, current model issues.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: You can't even have the discussion if certain materials are presented.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: Doctor Peterson, I don't think it was taking any particular
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: point of view here.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: He was exposing students to the classics.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: This used to be what that left suppressed, opposed, denounced.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: We don't want those old white men and their ideas.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: So he's demand. They demanded he cut the material from
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: the class because it might set alarms about gender ideology,
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: and that would politicize the classroom. But shouldn't we be
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: having these discussions and debates in the classroom. Certainly professors
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be preaching certain ideologies. But the debate the debate
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: is happening in our culture? Why would it not happen
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: in the classroom? Isn't that the ideal place to have it?
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: And wouldn't the ideal place to have it is in
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: the classroom while discussing somebody like Plato giving its central
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: role in Western philosophy. But notice, notice that the right
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: in everything, in everything, has adopted the lefts methodology and
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: ideology in order to get its way. They've adopted woke.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: They've adopted the thoritarian nature of woke in terms of
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: telling people what's politically correct to say and what's not.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: They've adopted the use of force violence to silence those
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: who speak speech they don't like. Notice Ice, notice this
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: professor at Texas Economically, the right has become just as
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: statist as the left. I mean, notice Trump this weekend
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: telling us we have to cap interest rates on credit cards,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: one of the stupidest proposals in all of human history.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: It makes rent control seem insane. We now have two
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: authoritarian political parties, two socialist political parties, two woke political parties.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: One calls themselves Republicans, one calls themselves democrats. So there
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: is you know, never mind, you know, having a conversation
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: at the university. Now now we have to silence. We're
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: seeing this across the country, not just in Texas. Administrators
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: at the University of North Carolin of North Texas College
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: of Education they made two hundred changes to graduate and
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: undergraduate courses, including the syllabuses, course names, and descriptions. The
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: University of No Texas system began to review of faculty
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: syllabuses in the University of Houston said it's conducting a
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: similar review within the Texas Tech University system.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: Is a memo the.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: Warned faculty members not to promote or otherwise inculcate certain
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: specific viewpoints about race, sex in the classroom. What does
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: it mean promoting inculcate? Does it mean no discussion? Can
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: we discuss it? Can we read about it? This is
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: all coming out of similar to language that was in
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: a law passed in Florida called the Stop Woke Act,
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: which Fire is assuing against and being in litigation against
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: since twenty twenty two. A federal judge described fat as
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: law restricting instruction in college classrooms as positively dystopian, recognizing
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: that the First Amendment protects classroom instruction. We'll see what
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: happens with the Texas law. I'm sure it's going to
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: be sued, litigated, and hopefully this goes to the Supreme
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: Court and we get a ruling one way or the other.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: But you know, once censorship starts, even a little bit,
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: even just at the margin, even just in one philosophy class,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: where does it go next? Freto. Speech is under assault.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: It was up until recently primarily from the left. The
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: right has joined in. They're now unified in assaulting most
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: fascist freedom, the one that makes possible any hope of
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: political or cultural change, the freedom to speak, the freedom
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: to speak. All right, let's talk about one nutty leftist
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: thing and we'll end with a positive from the Democratic Party.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: Are positive? Can you imagine? It's truly stunning. California. Oh
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: my god. So you know California is in big trouble. Well,
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: it runs kind of a balanced budget. It has its
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: constitutional constitutions, and they have to run a balance budget.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: They're running massive, I think one point seven trillion dollars
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: deficit in terms of liabilities of the state pension plans.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: The state pension plans are running one point seven trillion
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: dollar deficits, and California is desperate to figure out how
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: to get that because otherwise it doesn't has the clue
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: how to pay for it. It can be by cutting spending, right,
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: we'll get to that. So the uh, let's see, the
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: healthcare union, Service Employees International Union and the United Healthcare
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: Workers West Union are all proposing.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: A ballot initiative.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: The ballot initiative calls for California residents worth more than
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: one billion dollars so billionaires to be taxed the equivalent
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: of five percent of their assets. Calculate your assets. You
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: pay five percent supposedly one time. Now know in California
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: it's never one time. Once you put anything in place
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: one time. Well why not again? And why not again?
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: We need more money, I mean, the five percent of
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: their assets is not going to make a dent in
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: a one point seven trillion dollar deficit. If the measure
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: gains enough signatures, it hasn't yet to reach the state
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: ballot in November, and if it wins approval, it will
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: be retroactively applied to anyone who lived in California and
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: Jenny First, twenty twenty six, those who are twenty billion
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: in assets who resided in the state on that day
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: would face a one time tax of one billion dollars
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: and have five years to page. Now it's not clear
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: whether it ever will reach the ballot. Even the governor
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: of California, Newsom, has come out against it, but more
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: and more California billions are saying, I'm not going to
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: risk it. The one of the founders of Google estimated
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: worth the two hundred and fifty eight billion would result
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: in a one time tax of twelve billion, is leaving
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: the state. Peter TiO, whose net worth is around twenty
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: seven point five billion, would have a one point two
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: billion dollar tax state.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: Is leaving the state.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: Remember this is all in addition to whatever income taxes
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: they pay thirteen percent on their income. More and more
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: billionaires they're about. Somebody said they about two hundred billionaires
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: in California. Two hundred more and more of them are
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: leaving by some instement. The total wealth that has left California,
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: just over this issue, just over this, the total wealth
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: left California is one trillion. We according to a month
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: a month I forget, I don't know how to pronounce
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: his name. He says, we had two trillion a billionaire
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: wealth just a few weeks ago. Now fifty percent of
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: that wealth is left, taking their income taxes, revenue, sales
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: tax revenues, real estate revenue, and all their staff and
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: their salaries and income taxes with them. In other words,
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: by starting this ill conceived attempt at an asset tax,
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: the California budget deficit will explode and we still don't
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: know if the tax will even make the ballot. California
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: billionaires were reliable tax payers. Yeah, I mean, it's the
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: it's the you know, the the the the sacrificial, sacrificial
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: whatever that keeps on giving. Why are we penalizing them.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: We want to keep them because we want We wanted
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: to keep on sacrificing and keep on having their wealth
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: taken from them. The attempt to caliory the California billions
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: will well Bible tax space thirteen point three percent every year,
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: like clockwork. They were cheap. You could cheer forever. Imagine
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: that cheap you could cheer forever. Now California will lose
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: this revenue forever. Unless this ballid initiative is pulled, we
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: will not stop the billionaire exodus. With no rich people
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: left in California, the middle class will have to foot
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: the bill. And the thing about this is it's not
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: just billionaires, it's people who expect to be billionaires, who
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: want to be billionaires. Now, some billionaires have said, eh,
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: I don't care, I'm.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: Quite happy to do it.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: Uh. The CEO of Nvidia has said that, which is sad.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: Now here's the disgusting here's the disgusting perspective. This is
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: the title. I'm not even going to read you the
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: actual up ed. This is the title of an edit
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: in the Los Angeles Times. Listen to this. This is
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: the this is the title. California made them rich. Now
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: billionaires flee when the state asks for little something back.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that again, California made them rich. Now
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: billionaires flee when the state asks for little something back.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: Did you know.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: California made the people rich?
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: What the headline should say is billionaires who made California
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: rich fleeing state confiscation of their wealth. God, this reverse
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: has cause and effect. Why is California so successful? Why
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: is California for a rich because of the people who
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: built it, the billionaires and the want to be billionaires.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: Just disgusting. Just I mean, and this is the thing, right,
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: this is the left, that was the right. We were just
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: talking about. There's no way to escape other than to individualism.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: That's the solution, individualism and capitalism. Abandon these losers and
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: come join an actual movement that represents human well being.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, this taxes is ridiculous.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, think about something like somebody like Ilia sut Skiverer.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: He is one of the founders of open Ai. He
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: has twenty plus billion dollars worth of open Ai equity,
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: private equity. It's private, can't sell it. He also owns
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: another you know, a portion of SSSIs.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: It's probably another ten billion.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: It's a thirty billion total. Right, he would have to
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: pay one point five billion dollar tax. How can he
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: pay it? You can't even sell the stock. Where's he
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: going to get the one and a half billion she
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: has to pay cash from a company, from companies that
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: you'd have to borrow against it. You're taxing wealth they
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: don't really have. And even if you text all of
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: them all two hundred billion is if they all paid in,
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: you'd raise one hundred billion. Two trillion dollars they have,
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: you'd raise one hundred billion. The deficit is one point
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: five trillion. One point five trillion. That's less than ten
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: percent well, you're gonna get the other ninety five percent,
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: ninety eight two percent. It's just you can't do what.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: Taxing billion is no worry, We'll tax them anyway. What
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: the hell? One hundred billion? That's cool. His from a
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: guy named Andy Fang, co founders CTO of dodh do Dash.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: He says, I love California, born and raised there, but
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: stupid well text proposals like this make it irresponsible for
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: me not to plan to leave the state. This glass
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: b thing itself would wipe me out. Being founder led
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: is a big part of what makes gods special. I
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: will fight to keep it that way. I mean, this
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: whole thing of which classes of stock count and which
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: classes don't, the whole thing is just nutty and again
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: would result in people just being wiped out. Now, note
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: that over the last decade, California spending has doubled, while
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: it's population flat. State's education budget has doubled. Number of
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: students gone down, the performance of those students gone down,
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: money spent doubled. But god forbid, we consider cutting spending.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: Can do that? Can do that? Now?
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 2: I like this comment.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: This is a comment from you know, from Ben Howitz
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: from a sixteen z he says, and you know, it's
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: been so hard to break Silicon Valley because of the
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: network effect. But this is the best strategy I've seen.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: If you want to destroy Silicon Valley, this is the
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: way to do it. This is the strategy to do it.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: Democrats have finally figured it out. He goes on to say,
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: No Way has an unreal capital gains tax. Noway got
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: a lot of extremely smart people, great entrepreneurs, but they
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: all left.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: When you talk to entrepreneurs in No Way.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: They're like, I literally can't pay the tax because the
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: company got marked up and I owe a lot of
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: it and I can't get that money out. It's a
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: private company. I'm stuck, so I have to leave the country.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: There are basically no tech entrepreneurs in no Way. Now, well,
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: this is what you would do the Silicon Valley.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 2: Destroy empty it out.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: Now, you know a lot of people would be happy,
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: But Silicon Valley is one of the great achievements, one
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: of the great great great achievements of human history, one
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: of the great achievements of America. I'll be giving a
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: talk about that at Oakconn this coming summer in New Orleans.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: So yeah, just depressing in horrorble. I guess we'll end
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: on a positive, kind of a positive, A weird positive,
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: not real positive, a kind of a a artificial positive.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: But what the hell? It is? What it is? So
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: over the weekend there was a Programas demonstration in New York.
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: They got pretty pretty rowdy, and there was a I
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: guess they went to a Jewish neighborhood and there was
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: a confrontation and they yelled, you know, Programas to the Jews,
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: and very it became antisemitic and really really bad. And
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: what is stunning is that immediately afterwards, like within twenty
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: five hours, forty eight hours, every Democrat in the state
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: condemned I mean you're probably expecting condemned the Jews. No
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: condemned the Hamas rally, the Programas rally. They condemned their
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: own far left. Really, I'm not kidding. Here's in our sample, right,
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: I have to enlarges to see it. Let's say New York,
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: attuney general, this is the one that Trump has started
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: to try to go after. Hamas is a terrorist organization.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: We do not support terrorists, period or aoc Can you
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: imagine aoc hey some marching into a predominantly Jewish neighborhood
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: and leading with a chance saying we support Ramas is
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: the disgusting and anti Semitic.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: Things to do. Pretty basic.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: Whoa AOC said that Chuck Schuma, Let's be clear, HAMAS
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: is a terrorist organization committed to the destruction of Jews
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: while imposing its bruodh Wool and Palestinians. Chanting support for
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: Hamas is anti Semitic and unacceptable. This hate must have
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: no place in New York City, in the US, or
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: around the world and must be loudly condemned the Governor
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: of New York. HAMAS is a terrorist organization that calls
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: the genocide of Jews. No matter your political beliefs, this
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: type of rhetic is disgusting, it's dangerous, and has no
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: place in New York. Guil Brand. Hamas is a terrorist organization.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: They're allten exactly the saying right, committed to the murder
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: of Jews. This hateful da da da Let's see, Senator
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: to Jackie Rosen, Hamas's tists organization that carries out the
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: deadist detection Jews and sta Holocaust, chewing them on d
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: Congress of Law. Guill this is a clear attempt to
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: terrorize the Jewish community. Openly supporting a terrorist organization is reprehensible.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: These are all democrats, Linda Lee of New York City.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: Hamas is a terrorist organization. Any rhetoric that glorifies them
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: as as anti semitism should be widely condemned. Thank you
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: for the NYPD for keeping our Queen's community safe last
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: night and in the Shaka of all shocks. I don't
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: know how you make sense of this, guys, Mom Donnie.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: As I said earlier today, chance in support of a
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: terrorist organization have in no place in our city. We
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: will continue to ensure New Yorka's safety entering and exiting
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: houses of worship, as well as the constitutional right to protest.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: And the headline is and he's retweeting is Mamdani condemns
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: slurs and programas chants at heated Queen's protest. What the
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: hell first? Where were they just a few months ago
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: when this was going on, and they, every single frigging
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: one of them supported it. Well, I'll tell you what's happened.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what's happened. The right has become so antisemitic.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: The Jews have no home anymore as a block voting
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: block there's an election in twenty twenty six. Many Americans
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: are disgusted by the antisemetis of right and fall left,
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: fall right and fall left.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 2: Democrats have figured out that.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: The best chance is to move into a space that
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: the Republicans have left open, move into the anti Hamas,
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: anti antisemitism space. And they all read the same facts,
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: they all got the same email, they all copy pasted
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: from the same document, and they all came up with
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: the same statement, all at once. And I think you're
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: going to see more of this before the twenty twenty
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: sixth election. I think the Democrats are going to try
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: to be the reasonable party. They're going to try to
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: occupy the center. Good for them, even though you know
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: many of them, of most of whatever don't believe it
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: good for them. They figure in order to win in
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, they don't need the far fall left.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: What they need is the Jewish community in New York.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: What they need are the moderates. What they need is independence.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: What they need is a center. And if they can
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: get the center, if they can get independence, if they
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: can get even moderate Republicans who are disgusted by the
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: Techer Carlson, the JD. Van says, the Puenteses, the Candice Owens,
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: the Megan Kelly's of the world, then they can whip
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: the Republicans, maybe even take the Senate. So I wouldn't
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: be surprised if what you see politically over the next
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: what is it ten eleven months is a much much
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: more reasonable democratic party, a democratic party that shifts dramatically
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: to the center in an effort to try to capture
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: of those votes and good and if they win on that,
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: maybe they'll learn a lesson that the centers where they
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: belong and that the far left is ultimately an anchor
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: that's pulling them down and drowning them, just like the
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: so called fall right is drowning the Republican Party and
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: killing it. This country is still a sane country.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 2: This country is still basically.
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: Good country, though it's hard to see sometimes. This is
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: a country that doesn't live on the poor Rahmas side,
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: and it doesn't live on deports one hundred million people criminals, Yeah,
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: deport them. Most Americans, overwhelming majority of Americans agree with that.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: We reject TRAMAS as a terrorist organization. We're not for terrorism.
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: Most Americans. Overwhelming majority of Americans agree with that. Now, well,
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: the center is not stable, the center cannot hold long term,
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: but it's surely a better place right now than what
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: the Democratic Party has become and what the Republican Partty
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: is becoming, or maybe is already. Two horror shows, scary
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: authoritarian statist horror shows. All right, my friends, that is
• 1:33:27

• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: to support the show and make sure that the show
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: continues and grows. And we do the marketing and we
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: create all the show videos and do all that that.
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 1: All of that costs money, and you guys are the
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 1: ones who can make make it happen and make it possible,
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: So please help us out with that. All right, we
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: got one fifty dollars question from Mark Marxist. I see
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: damn few objectivists clearly condemning Ice, especially after the good killing.
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 1: Some are waiting for more evidence, some defending Ice. What
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: the hell is going on with the movement? What is
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: AAR doing well? I mean AARI is condemned Ice already.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: I mean Augustina regularly writes about ICE and immigration policy.
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: So I think ARII has made its position about ICE
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 1: very clear and it's not hesitant at all. So I
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: think it's very clear. I think some objectivists are kind
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: of wary of coming to conclusions too quickly and want
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 1: to see more of the evidence because I don't know why,
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: but you know, there is there is that there is
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 1: this idea that you don't want to support anarchy. Yeah,
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 1: I think there's an attitude amongst our objectivists. Look all
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 1: this protests against ICE, and oh yeah, we hate ICE,
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 1: but if you got to protest them and you into,
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 1: you know, interfere in the actions, and that is borderline anarchy,
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 1: and we don't like anarchy and we're against it.
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 2: I think that's wrong.
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 1: I think you have to stand up against uh status authoritarianism.
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 1: You have to find your issues and stand up against
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 1: it when injustice, massive injustice is being committed. And I
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 1: think this is a fight that we need to fight.
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 1: But I understand that some objectivists don't want to, you know,
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: they don't think this is the fight worth fighting. And
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 1: of course there's a split over between people who call
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 1: themselves objectivists over immigration, and there's a lot of hostility
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 1: towards illegal immigrants among some people who call themselves objectivists
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 1: up but you know it, that is there's a real
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 1: split between objects among objectives around these issues. I am
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: clear about my position on ICE. I have been for
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 1: a long time. I think I think the Institute's position
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 1: is clear. But we're organizations and individuals, and individuals have
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 1: to come to their own conclusions. There's no toying a
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 1: party line there's no because your on thinks this.
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 2: You should think it.
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: There's no because AOI says it. Everybody should follow follow
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: with it. People have to make up their own mind
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: about this, and you have to make up your mind
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: about them when you see them make wrong choices. So yeah,
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 1: I mean I'm laughing because I just you know, I've
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: got Twitter on the side. Something baking news happens, so
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 1: maybe the Runian regime falls or something. I don't want
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 1: to miss it, right, So I've got baking news and
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 1: us of the Potom of Labor is putting out these memes.
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: It's putting out these pictures right then, these memes, and
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: this is the last, the latest one. Let me show
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 1: you this one I'm gonna show to you. Let me,
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 1: let me, let me pull it up. And because it's
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 1: just it's it really is. I mean, look at that.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: I can't make it larger because then you won't get
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 1: the whole thing there it is. Use the pottom of labor.
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: I think you can see it, guys, Use the partner
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: of labor. It says it's Monday, patriots in control. Let's
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: get to work with this image of Trump. You know,
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 1: dark white and you know like a flag, but in
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 1: this tough guy position, patriots in control. And you know, look,
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 1: the implication is clear. The implication is not just Trump
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 1: is a patriot. Well that's good, good, good to the
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 1: president of the United States. Loves the country. But the
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 1: implication is if you don't support him, you're not a patriot.
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 1: If you don't support him, you ont of the got
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 1: bad guys. That's exactly what it's about. And and this
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 1: after you know, all the other you know, I'm just
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: clicking on the partner of of of labor. God, you know,
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 1: this is after their homeland. Uh uh and all the
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 1: all the rest of it. Yeah, one homeland, one people,
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 1: one heritage. And then Trump with that pose and the
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 1: lighting and everything, just discuss culture personality, you know. Uh,
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 1: fascist crap, that's what it is. Yeah, then you've got
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 1: you've got another one. Your nation needs you build the
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 1: future of your homeland with a little American flag and
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 1: a statue of liberty. They forget what's written in the
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 1: Statue of liberty, something about being as your your, your, your,
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 1: you're weary, your your, you're poor. You'll bring them, we
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 1: invite them to come to America. None of that, of course,
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 1: restore American greatness. Oh here's another one. Hold the line, patriots,
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 1: one nation is worth fighting for. Our nation is worth
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 1: fighting for with Trump with an umbrella and hold the line,
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 1: kind of a black and white dramatic illustration. It's just
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 1: it's just so on American. These things are so on American.
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 1: So Mark says he wants to hear more. You know,
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know what fifty dollars worth. I don't know
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 1: what you want me to say about these other objectivists.
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 1: There are people out there in the movement who are
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 1: coming to wrong conclusions, and I think a lot of
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 1: it is motivated by fear. There's definitely a part of
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 1: the objectivest movement that over the last ten years has
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 1: been motivated by fear of the left that really dominate
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 1: dominated there, has dominated the way they look at the world.
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 1: And they start out usually by saying, yeah, I don't
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 1: like what these Republicans are doing. I don't like Trump.
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 1: I disagree with Trump. But the alternative is the left.
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 1: But because they're so obsessed with the Left, they keep
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 1: they keep accepting one more thing the Trump's does, and
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 1: one more thing that Trump does, and over time they
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 1: buy into it and They've sold this soul to the devil.
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 1: This is the problem with tribes and collectivism and joining
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 1: forming coalitions the fight X and the consequence of that
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 1: is you lose your soul. And I think a lot
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 1: of these people have lost their soul. They're gone. Mark continues,
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: where's Peacock's influence in this Peacock's ninety two years old.
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think if he's ninety two years old,
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 1: so he's not going to have a lot of influence.
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 1: And the influence he has in this case might not
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 1: be positive. That's the reality. So you know, you know,
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 1: I don't want to talk too much. I don't want
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 1: to talk about peak up it. Look look at look
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 1: at other people out there. There are people who call
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 1: themselves objectivists, who are massively, massively committed to uh, you know,
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 1: to Trump. I don't know, Havemerman and Sulsman and Andrew Bunstein,
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 1: and I think they've sold this soul to the devil.
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 1: They young enough, they still have, you know, all their
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 1: faculties with them. You can't you can't excuse it. They've
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 1: sold this soul to the devil. So the rest of us,
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 1: we need to do the best that we can do.
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 1: But the Institute is clearly on the right side here,
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 1: and I am on the right side here, and the
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 1: rest you guys get.
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 2: To make your own decisions.
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 1: You know. I don't believe in imposing my will. I
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 1: couldn't anyway. Actually don't want you to agree with me
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 1: because I said it. I want you to figure it
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 1: out for yourself. I make my arguments passionately, I think, hopefully,
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 1: logically and rationally, and you guys get to decide. Mark,
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 1: thank you for the fifty dollars. I hope that completed
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 1: that complete answer, you know, made the fifty dollars worth it,
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 1: you know, anyway, John, is it reasonable to worry that
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 1: Trump could try to stay in power after his term
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 1: and that ICE, given its part, is an alignment. Alignment
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 1: could be used as a tool of political enforcement, A
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 1: can in function not scale to secret police. Yes, yes, absolutely,
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 1: it's reasonable to worry about it. And while Trump is
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 1: getting old and by the time the next election here'll
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 1: be what eighty to eighty three, and maybe won't want
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 1: to stay in power, maybe won't be quite there, you've
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 1: got to worry about if.
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 2: Jd Vance is running, what happens.
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 1: You got to worry about the public and party more broadly,
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 1: you've also got to worry about their midterm elections in
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. What's going to happen. I worried about
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 1: what's going to happen in the midterm elections. I don't
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 1: know what's going to happen. And Trump is already making
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 1: noises about challenging the results of the midterm elections, challenging
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 1: the methodology of the voting, challenging the states.
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know how that's going to end.
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 1: And would ICE as constituted today, could ICE be used
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 1: to reverse a legitimate election? Yes?
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 2: Would I say no, No, that's not a job. I
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 2: don't think they would say it.
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 1: Would Chris Synome say Trump, No, Homeland Security doesn't do that.
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 1: Would Holmes say no, Home whatever his name is, say no, no, no,
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 1: that's that's a misuse of the of the voter patrol?
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 1: Would they say that? No?
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 2: It would Trump dare to order it?
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 1: Is there anybody who doubts that that if you thought
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 1: he could get away with it, he would order it?
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 1: Homand sorry, homen it's yeah, I mean yes, it's.
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 2: Really really really.
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 1: Scary, really scary.
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 2: And you know, I'm you know, the whole thing.
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 1: And we're going to get a test of the power
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 1: of the Supreme Court any day now. I mean, they
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 1: were supposed to rule on Friday about the tariffs, and
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: they chickened out, and now we expect it this coming Wednesday,
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 1: I think, ruling on on tariffs. And I mean, yeah,
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 1: Trump is already in a sense threatening, you know, he said,
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 1: he said, he just said just a few minutes ago.
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 1: If the Spring Court rules against the United States, are
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 1: America rules against the United States of America on the
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 1: on this national security bonanza tariffs, we're screwed. You know.
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 1: The whole post that he posted on this is one
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 1: big lie. But anyway, yeah, I mean there's going to
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 1: be a lot of challenges, John says one. Oh, great
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 1: members only show, thank you. That's yesterday, the show we
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 1: did yesterday. Is it fair to say altruism breeds secondhandedness,
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 1: which then produces three emotional states types the exploiter, lone wolf,
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 1: they exploited, the ones being sacrificed in the fragmented, compon, bentalized, mixed. Yes,
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: I think that's absolutely right. Altruism definitely breeds second handedness
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 1: because your standard in morality and Therefore, in what is
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 1: good is other people, and therefore you look for other people.
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 1: You look to other people for the standard of anything,
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 1: And of course that breeds those three. The guy who
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 1: takes advantage of other people, that's one form of secondhandedness,
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 1: the one who's willing to be taken advantage of to
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 1: another form. And the guy who is compartmentalized dozen some
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 1: realms and dozen in other realms. Which is I think
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 1: is ultimately the majority. The tribalists, the tribal leaders, and
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 1: the confused. Those are I mean, it really is the
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 1: state of America today. Tribalists, tribal leaders, and confused. Yeah,
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 1: you guys should check out. If you're not a member,
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 1: you should become a member. And by becoming a member,
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 1: you can access the show I did yesterday where I
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 1: went over the essay Selfishness without her Self, which is
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 1: an essay where I ran in nineteen seventy four, describes
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 1: to the t our current President Donald Trump selfishness without
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 1: her Self. If the independence of the FED is lost
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 1: or effectively lost, what's stopping the dollar for hyper inflation? Well,
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 1: it's not lost yet, And what it would mean to
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 1: get to hype inflation is basically an order from the
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 1: president to print money, to print much more money than
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 1: the economists that the FED would like. That's what it means,
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 1: and then nothing would stop hyper inflation. It's what happened
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 1: in Turkey when it was the president determining interest rates
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 1: and the money supplying all of that, and he just
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 1: inflated the hell out of it. What happened in Venezuela,
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 1: it what happens in every country where the federers of
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 1: becomes fully integrated into the government, it serves at the
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 1: government's bequest and as a consequence, it inflates.
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 2: The best thing for the government right.
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 1: Now, the best way to deal with the debt, with
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 1: the national debt, is to inflate it away. One hundred
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 1: percent inflation would do a lot to reduce inflation rate
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 1: in this country. Urdigan did it, you know, Maduro and
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 1: before him, Chavez. I mean, this is what happens to
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 1: all of them. And if Trump has his way and
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 1: interest rates are lower to hundred two percent, just artificially
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 1: he wants them as low as possible, there's a good chance,
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 1: you know that that brings about and you know, potentially
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 1: brings about inflation. And if you need that inflation reduces
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 1: the value of the debt, and the federal government walks
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 1: away happy. I mean not really, because they'll be voted
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 1: out of power because the people hate inflation. We're all
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 1: much poorer because of it, much poorer. We're talking about
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 1: price inflation driven by monetary inflation. All right, David, you're on,
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 1: Please get on, get shift on the show. Proper in
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 1: person recorded video of the two of you talking in
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 1: yours or his garden discuss markets, gold miners, Trump and Rand.
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 1: Of course it will be a great it will be
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 1: big views if it's in person. I'll try. I'll try
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 1: to do that, Andrew. A mistake can result from evasion,
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 1: but it's not proof of such a reason honest mistake
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 1: can happen is that every choice is based on analysis
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 1: of unique context relevant to that choice. Free will does
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 1: not operate on an autopilot. Well, reason doesn't operate on autopilot,
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 1: and and reason is also not omniscient. That is, you
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 1: can be wrong. You can be wrong on the data.
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 1: You can be wrong on the integration. You could be
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 1: wrong in the analysis. You can be wrong on in
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 1: the context what's relevant and what's not. You can be
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 1: wrong in a lot of things. Life is complex, it's
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 1: difficult to not get things wrong, so people can be mistaken.
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 2: And I'm mistaken all the time.
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 1: Clark, what do you make of the argument the ice
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 1: officer didn't have time or distance to observe the direction
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 1: of her wheels. He saw the vehicle moving forward and
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 1: heard the wheels gaining traction, then reacted.
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 2: Well, he did react.
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 1: He stepped or jumped out of the way.
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 2: What was the purpose of getting the gun.
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, all he did by shooting her was create
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 1: a lead foot that has her foot going accelerator. If
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 1: he had literally been in front of the car, he
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 1: would have been hurt much more after shooting her. This
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 1: is why police are told not to be in the
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 1: front of the car and not to shoot. Get out
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 1: of the way. He got out of that was enough,
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 1: and then shot it twice on the side, just to
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 1: make sure she was dead. What is the point of
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 1: all that. Get out of the way and then chase
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 1: it down or go to her dress, arrest her and
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 1: put it in front of in trial for trying to
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 1: kill you, and then you can show the video evidence
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 1: to suggest. But notice that when you see the footage
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 1: from either his phone or from whatcam he had on him,
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 1: where he is, which is directly in front of her.
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 2: Right, he's standing in front.
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 1: We can see her turning the wheel where he's filming
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 1: her turning the wheel. Okay, So I mean, I agree
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 1: he panicked, But why is the response to a panic
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 1: pull out a gun and shoot somebody to death. You
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 1: got to be trained about these things, and he's not untrained.
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 1: This guy's been around. Once he got out of the way,
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 1: he's out of the way. So I don't I just
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 1: don't understand the issue. Given that he jumped out of
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 1: the way, that was his instinct. And as he was jumping,
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 1: as he was moving out of the way, he shot
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 1: through the front glass and then shot twice through the side.
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, if he'd taken one shot, okay, I think
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 1: that would that would still be unbelievable that he took
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 1: a shot for that reason, But that next two shots
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 1: indicate just a vicious, viciousness and a commitment to kill
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 1: this woman. And this guy should be off the streets
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 1: and in behind bars. He got a scrape, he was
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 1: running around. There's plenty of video of him running around. Afterwards,
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 1: he goes up, he sees he sees the dead. He
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 1: comes back, he tells the guys to call ninety one one.
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 1: He kind of high, almost high, fights with somebody. He
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 1: is joyous and happy. I'm sure they took him to
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 1: hospital afterwards to say that he was he got a
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 1: few bruises, Maybe he got a scrape. You don't kill
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 1: people for that. You don't shoot them through the head
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 1: three times for that. At no point was the car
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 1: was there was the car? You know, a deadly assault
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 1: on him. Yep, he got maybe he got scraped. Maybe
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 1: I'm not even sure of that, and that it wasn't
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't what he called the stage his
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 1: uh going to the hospital. I mean, I hope this
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 1: makes it the trial and then let all the evidence.
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 2: Let's do discovery.
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 1: Let's get all the evidence out there, Let's get every
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 1: single video, Let's get expert witnesses, let's analyze this the
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 1: by the way, in trial, the presumption is that he's
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 1: innocent because cops cops shootings of really very rare that
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 1: you find a cup guilty.
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 2: Let's take it to trial and see what happens.
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 1: But you know, I have eyes, I can see the videos.
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 1: I see exactly what's going on. And if you choose
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 1: not to use your eyes, that's your problem, and then
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 1: you know, swearing at her after just killing her. I mean, no,
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 1: this guy is a thug who should not be on
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 1: the street, should never have a weapon anywhere near him,
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 1: and given what he just did, should be behind boss.
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 1: Thomas Nick Keatoggio wrote, quote, the hard truth is that,
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 1: apart from its nigible libertarian faction, the right has always
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 1: had a blind spot about police brutality. Your opinion, I mean,
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 1: I think there's a there's something to that, but I
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 1: think it's a being a small faction on the right,
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 1: and I.
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 2: Think it's I think that limits, they're limits.
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 1: And this where the evidence, in my view, is so
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 1: clear cut. Again, particularly given the second or third shot,
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 1: that portion on the right has grown dramatically, and it
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 1: now dominates, and it now overwhelms, and it's now willing
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 1: to tolerate a lot more than it was willing to
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 1: tolerate thirty years ago. Liam Matt Walsh and the pro
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 1: ice crowd go out of their way to mention the
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 1: woman killed was a lesbian. Yeah, I noticed that. I
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 1: read that quote from him. They are signaling to their
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 1: bigoted audience that this person is not like that. You you
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 1: don't have to care about them. This type of dehumanizing
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 1: tactic is not new, it's just expanding to include more people.
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 1: These tools can be used on anyone who stands up
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 1: for the power to refuse to stay in line. Absolutely. Look,
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 1: I you know the way authoritarianism works, the way fascism works,
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 1: the way thiritarian works, the way these the way Trump
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 1: has worked from day one is, you know, blame all
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 1: your problems on the other. And the other can be
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 1: lots of different people. It's primarily immigrants and Chinese foreigners,
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 1: but it's also elites and it can be OLGBTQ easily.
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 1: The other is the enemy. The other is destroying America.
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 1: The other must be deported, The other must be must
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 1: be reined in. The other is your enemy. So you know,
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 1: if you can painter in terms of the other, then
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 1: people stop sympathizing. And of course the Jew is another
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 1: one of those others that both left and right use.
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 1: But the right is very very good at defining all
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 1: these others that you must hate, you must despise. All right,
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 1: all right, let's see, thank you Liam, absolutely right, good observation.
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 1: My fifty six yearser name very interested in the month
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 1: of the Opah. After listening to some left podcast, they
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 1: still bring up Charlie and are happy a white supremacist
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 1: is dead and died recorded. How is one supposed to
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 1: argue that this is wicked? Thinking? How one supposed to argue?
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, the idea that somebody celebates the death of
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 1: another human being, a human being that is not engaged
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 1: in violence against you, but just is engaged in speech
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 1: is just an evil idea. And to celibate, it's not
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 1: even to acknowledge it, but to celebrate it is just.
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 1: It is wicked. It's exactly wicked, you know, and it
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 1: is because you know. It basically makes anybody who disagrees
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 1: with you lose their rights. And that is the opposite
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 1: of liberty, the opposite of freedom, the opposite of what
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 1: this country stands for. It is inherently totalitarian, it's inherently oppressive,
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 1: it's inherently anti human life. Bryan says, thanks for expressing
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 1: the outrage about Ice that I feel. Thank you, Brian.
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 1: I appreciate the support obviously the people out there who
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 1: disagree with us.
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 2: Jennifer.
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 1: They told dirty Harry it's the law, and he said, well,
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 1: then the law is crazy. Yeah, Dirty Harry was often right.
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 1: That's a good quote. Thank you. Jennifer Ian says, have
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 1: you looked into live streaming with YouTube shorts? Seems like
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 1: they get a lot more traction with the algorithm. All
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 1: you need to do is change the video aspect ratio
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 1: to vertical, but live stream like a two hour live
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 1: stream with that vertical. I'll look into it, but I
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 1: doubt that it's more than a fad. I obviously put
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 1: out a lot of shorts and they get decent reception.
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 1: In the old days, when they first introduced shorts, I
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 1: put out a few shorts and they got like tens
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 1: of thousands, one hundreds of thousands of views. Now if
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 1: they get two or three thousand, it's a lot. And
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 1: I get to a three thousand on all my long videos,
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 1: So it's not adding that much. It's introducing me to
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 1: a new audience. I think that's the value of the shorts.
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 1: But I'll look into it. Jeffrey, please do opah course,
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 1: I will pay thank you. Jeffrey. Yeah, I mean it
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 1: looks like what in terms of one hundred dollars, six
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 1: percent of you would do it? Six percent about one
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 1: hundred and sixty people who voted. You know, it's what
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 1: is a ten of you would pay one hundred dollars?
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean it's it's getting there at fifty dollars.
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 1: We've got seventeen, so maybe twenty of you would pay fifty.
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 1: And I assume if you're willing to pay one hundred,
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 1: you'd willing to be fifty. So maybe maybe we could
• 2:08:45
  Speaker 1: get twenty people at fifty. I'd have to think about
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 1: whether that was worth it. Maybe I'll make it seventy
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 1: five and and you know, something in between. But yeah,
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 1: I mean there's enough people here. It looks like to
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 1: me from the poll in enough people who seem to
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 1: be interested in willing to pay to make it happen.
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 1: So now I just need to get the logistics up.
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 1: But we'll keep running the poll. I think tonight, we'll
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 1: run it, maybe tomorrow, and then I'll see what the
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 1: totals are and make a call. But my guess is
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 1: it'll be somewhere between fifty and seventy five.
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 2: Multi splendor.
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 1: The survey for the OPAH class did not allow for
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 1: added selections. I first elected twenty five, but could not
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 1: include other options. Also, the commitment would be helpful. Is
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 1: just one month okay? Or is it one year commitment
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 1: required to preferred No, I mean I'm not going to
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 1: make you commit long term. You know, one month and renewable.
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 1: Hopefully you set up a renewable thing. But you can
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 1: cancel it anytime, so I wouldn't ask you to pay
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 1: for it in advance for a whole year or something
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 1: like that. I do it month a month, and if
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 1: you don't like it, or if it's not fulfilling your
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 1: needs you're not enjoying it or whatever, you can drop
• 2:10:02
  Speaker 1: out anytime. So yeah, I mean we can also like
• 2:10:13
  Speaker 1: if you give to fifty on Patreon on.
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 2: If you give two fifty above.
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 1: On one of the platforms like Patreon or god PayPal,
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 1: you could get it for free. If you give one
• 2:10:31
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars on that platform, maybe it's an extra fifty.
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 1: If you give fifty, it's an extra twenty five. We
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 1: can see we can figure out a way or twenty.
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 1: It's opposite twenty five for one hundred and fifty for
• 2:10:43
  Speaker 1: the fifty. We can figure out a way to take
• 2:10:46
  Speaker 1: into account what you already give, what you already give.
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 1: So I'll work on that, but we'll but yeah, I'm
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 1: not gonna ask for a full year commitment, jovied Shah. Yeah,
• 2:11:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean he seems like a good guy.
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 1: We'll see. I hope he really is, and I hope
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 1: he's authentic in his wish for a republic not a monarchy.
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 1: All right, Neo, let me just do something, Neo, What
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 1: does NEO say? What kind of attack would you expect
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 1: if Israel and US attacked. They can't be dropping bombs
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 1: in the crowds.
• 2:11:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, they would.
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 1: Be attacking primarily military bases Islamic Republican God sorry, Revolutionary God,
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 1: Islamic Revolutionary God bases across the country.
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 2: They probably attack.
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 1: First wave of attacks would probably be on the Bilistic
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 1: missile facilities to reduce their ability to retaliate, although they
• 2:11:59
  Speaker 1: still be able to retally it. Second wave will be
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 1: against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard bases all across. They won't
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 1: be hitting the cities except for maybe like a building
• 2:12:12
  Speaker 1: of the intelligence of the Islamic Republican God or a
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 1: particular military a facility where they can be very accurate
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 1: in their bombing, just like Israel. Did I mean Israel
• 2:12:20
  Speaker 1: bomb a lot of buildings into Hran with very little
• 2:12:25
  Speaker 1: collateral damage very little, and I think you'll see a
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 1: lot more of that, but a lot of it will
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 1: be outside of the cities. All right, gin tracks, I
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 1: am slightly behind, but amazing content on Iran. Thank you Jin,
• 2:12:49
  Speaker 1: Thank you for the show you're on. Thank you for
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 1: the support. Michael is Trump issuing decrees like a panic
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 1: Roman dictator. No not really. I mean I don't get
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 1: a sense of panic at all. I just get a
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 1: sense of why not issue decrees? Nobody's challenging them. The
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 1: more issues, the less attention they get, the easier they
• 2:13:12
  Speaker 1: fall between the cracks.
• 2:13:13
  Speaker 2: They can't all be.
• 2:13:14
  Speaker 1: Sued because the courts would be overwhelmed if everything he
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 1: does went to court? Why not? Why? Why not? You
• 2:13:22
  Speaker 1: know if you if you, I think you heard my
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 1: selfish stut of self from yesterday.
• 2:13:28
  Speaker 2: The whole point is.
• 2:13:30
  Speaker 1: I desire, I want, I feel, I you know, I
• 2:13:34
  Speaker 1: whim Why not do everything? Nothing is there to stop me?
• 2:13:39
  Speaker 1: There are no rules, the on, no standards, there are
• 2:13:41
  Speaker 1: no principles. I just do it. I don't know. These
• 2:13:45
  Speaker 1: Panics are all Pete Gupta. Once ice agents now refer
• 2:13:50
  Speaker 1: to Minnesota killing to threaten their watches to back off.
• 2:13:54
  Speaker 1: I saw that other ice agents. Ice agents will come
• 2:13:57
  Speaker 1: up to people filming them and say, haven't you learned
• 2:13:59
  Speaker 1: your lesson?
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 2: Didn't you see what happened? Haven't you learned a lesson?
• 2:14:05
  Speaker 1: Like? Yeah, I should be now petrified of being shot
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 1: by an ice agent. That's what I should be. By
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 1: the way, not everybody who's on right now has answered
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 1: the poll. Please participate in the poll, even if you're
• 2:14:18
  Speaker 1: not interested. Put in not interested, that's fine, but participate
• 2:14:22
  Speaker 1: in the poll. It'll just the more people participate, the
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 1: more meaningful the results become.
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 2: So even not interested is a valuable response.
• 2:14:31
  Speaker 1: So we've got one hundred and eighty plus people online
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 1: now they're probably being four to five hundred people gone
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 1: through the show.
• 2:14:38
  Speaker 2: Don't leave before you like the show.
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 1: If you're not a subscribe a subscribe to the show
• 2:14:43
  Speaker 1: and participate in the poll. That's all I ask. I
• 2:14:48
  Speaker 1: mean sending a sending a sticker would be good as well.
• 2:14:52
  Speaker 1: And somebody did and I didn't thank them. Who was it? Well,
• 2:14:56
  Speaker 1: Allie did one and John did one. Thank you guys.
• 2:15:01
  Speaker 1: All right, Michael, has there been a female president? Has
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 1: there not been a female president? Because there's still an
• 2:15:08
  Speaker 1: enormous amount of sexism in our society, you know, I
• 2:15:12
  Speaker 1: think that's certainly the case, was the case. I think
• 2:15:15
  Speaker 1: today the primary reason is we just haven't had a
• 2:15:18
  Speaker 1: qualified candidate. I mean, I think Hillary came very close.
• 2:15:23
  Speaker 1: If it had been a woman better than Hillary, and
• 2:15:26
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't have taken much to be better than Hillary,
• 2:15:28
  Speaker 1: I think she would have beaten Trump. I think that
• 2:15:32
  Speaker 1: if I think Nikki Haley had a chance to get
• 2:15:37
  Speaker 1: the Republican nomination, if not that Trump had nailed it already,
• 2:15:42
  Speaker 1: she might have been the nominae easily should have could
• 2:15:45
  Speaker 1: have beaten Biden or what's the name who I've forgotten
• 2:15:51
  Speaker 1: the name already, right, Michael, Are we witnessing the replacement
• 2:15:56
  Speaker 1: of law with personal power, the normalization or arbitunitia, the
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 1: surrender principle in exchange of tribal wins? Yes, yes, you
• 2:16:04
  Speaker 1: can see that every day with I mean yes and no. Yes,
• 2:16:09
  Speaker 1: in a sense that that's what Trump is trying to
• 2:16:11
  Speaker 1: get us. Right. He puts out these decrees, you write
• 2:16:14
  Speaker 1: these things, and he talks about them as if they're laws,
• 2:16:17
  Speaker 1: but they're not. They're not binding, they have to go
• 2:16:20
  Speaker 1: through Congress, but he would like them to be. So
• 2:16:24
  Speaker 1: we haven't quite replaced laws completely because Congress still has
• 2:16:27
  Speaker 1: to pass them. Like this cap on interest rates, it's
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 1: not in force, it's not in place until Congress passes
• 2:16:34
  Speaker 1: a law. All we've seen is Trump expresses his opinion
• 2:16:38
  Speaker 1: about it and write an executive orders if it's going
• 2:16:40
  Speaker 1: to happen. But you can't do that with an executive order.
• 2:16:45
  Speaker 1: But there's an effort to do that. There's definitely an
• 2:16:49
  Speaker 1: effort to replace law with personal power. Michael says, as
• 2:16:54
  Speaker 1: Megan Kelly given in because and become a groper sympathizing.
• 2:16:58
  Speaker 2: Yes, completely given in.
• 2:17:01
  Speaker 1: She's become an apologist, complete apologist for Candice Ow, for
• 2:17:07
  Speaker 1: anti Semitism, for Nick foyins. She's really good friends with Tucker. Yeah,
• 2:17:14
  Speaker 1: Making Kelly has gone. She's finished. She's I mean, I
• 2:17:18
  Speaker 1: don't know that she was ever of any value any
• 2:17:22
  Speaker 1: but she is completely imploded. At this point, there was
• 2:17:29
  Speaker 1: a she didn't interview with Tucker. She started saying, well,
• 2:17:32
  Speaker 1: I can ask questions about whether Israeli's killed Charlie Cook,
• 2:17:36
  Speaker 1: Where Israel did it? It's just beyond it's just insane.
• 2:17:44
  Speaker 1: James Germany didn't need Hitler to start World War One.
• 2:17:48
  Speaker 1: It is likely Nazi Germany would have formed and initiated
• 2:17:52
  Speaker 1: a Second World War in the absence of Hitler. You know, again,
• 2:17:56
  Speaker 1: it's hard to tell. History doesn't play out exactly the
• 2:17:59
  Speaker 1: same if you change an important element. There is something
• 2:18:05
  Speaker 1: that the dynamic that happened in World War One that
• 2:18:07
  Speaker 1: led the particular form World War Two took, and the
• 2:18:12
  Speaker 1: particular resentments that the German people had that Hitler played
• 2:18:15
  Speaker 1: off of.
• 2:18:16
  Speaker 2: But the fundamental philosophy, the fundamental.
• 2:18:18
  Speaker 1: Ideas which drove World War Two were contient ideas in
• 2:18:25
  Speaker 1: German society, so it would have manifested it differently. But
• 2:18:29
  Speaker 1: bad outcome was coming to Germany. There's no question about that.
• 2:18:32
  Speaker 1: Even if World War One doesn't happen, something bad happens
• 2:18:35
  Speaker 1: after that. It's just not clear it happens with Hitler
• 2:18:38
  Speaker 1: and Nazis and World War Two. It might happen in
• 2:18:40
  Speaker 1: a completely different way, but something very bad is going
• 2:18:43
  Speaker 1: to happen because the ideas are bad and the outcome
• 2:18:46
  Speaker 1: has to be a negative outcome given their ideas. Fenn Harper,
• 2:18:51
  Speaker 1: you should remention that don't be in front of cars
• 2:18:55
  Speaker 1: law enforcement protocol you mentioned the other day, at least briefly. Yeah,
• 2:18:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, I read from this protocol from a variety
• 2:19:03
  Speaker 1: of different law enforcement agencies, including Homeland Security, that all
• 2:19:07
  Speaker 1: say police should never approach your car in the front,
• 2:19:10
  Speaker 1: police should never stand in front of a car, and
• 2:19:13
  Speaker 1: police should never get in the way of a car fleeing,
• 2:19:17
  Speaker 1: particularly if there's.
• 2:19:20
  Speaker 2: Nobody's lives in danger.
• 2:19:21
  Speaker 1: That it's not fleeing in order to kill people, it's
• 2:19:24
  Speaker 1: just fleeing to get away. And should never shoot into
• 2:19:29
  Speaker 1: moving cars. Those are just standard law enforcement procedures. You
• 2:19:34
  Speaker 1: don't shoot into moving cars, and you don't stand in
• 2:19:36
  Speaker 1: front of a car. And ICE doesn't care, doesn't give
• 2:19:46
  Speaker 1: about prostiges, doesn't care about standard operating procedures. It just
• 2:19:50
  Speaker 1: does whatever the hell they want because they've got a
• 2:19:52
  Speaker 1: green light from the president and the people below the
• 2:19:55
  Speaker 1: president to do whatever the hell they want. They're the
• 2:19:57
  Speaker 1: good guys and they'refore they can do whatever the hell
• 2:19:59
  Speaker 1: they are one equal to reality. America will have unlimited
• 2:20:07
  Speaker 1: energy at this point with all the spinning the funding
• 2:20:10
  Speaker 1: fathers are doing. Yeah, it's sad and true, James, How
• 2:20:16
  Speaker 1: does a culture devolve into a complete disregard for human life? Well,
• 2:20:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, you got to read, You've got to read
• 2:20:23
  Speaker 1: ominous powers. Bad ideas will do that. Bad philosophy will
• 2:20:28
  Speaker 1: do that. A disrespect for human life is the condition
• 2:20:34
  Speaker 1: of almost every culture and human history, every society and
• 2:20:38
  Speaker 1: human history from the beginning. What's rare is a respect
• 2:20:41
  Speaker 1: for human life, and that developed in the United States
• 2:20:44
  Speaker 1: because of good ideas, the ideas of the Enlightenment and
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 1: as ideas of Enlightenment. It being bombarded with postmodernism, Marxism, religion,
• 2:20:55
  Speaker 1: you know, statist ideas of all kinds, anti individual ideas.
• 2:21:00
  Speaker 1: The culture is crumpling. The culture is giving it. It's
• 2:21:05
  Speaker 1: giving up our educational system, our universities are schools or
• 2:21:10
  Speaker 1: politicians they want. The culture is becoming like the ideas
• 2:21:16
  Speaker 1: that they are preaching, being preaching for a long time. Roland,
• 2:21:23
  Speaker 1: I'm glad we've had peak woke. Looking forward to seeing
• 2:21:26
  Speaker 1: peak maga soon. Yeah, me too, Me too. We've had
• 2:21:31
  Speaker 1: peak woke left. Now we need peak woke, right, James,
• 2:21:35
  Speaker 1: Germany was such an advanced, sophisticated country, and look how
• 2:21:40
  Speaker 1: quickly it inverted inverted into being the forefront of unimaginable
• 2:21:45
  Speaker 1: human atrocities. It can happen here, and it happens fast.
• 2:21:49
  Speaker 1: Yes again, ominous powers by Leonard Peacock must read and
• 2:21:54
  Speaker 1: it's called the Ominous Powers because of the power between
• 2:21:57
  Speaker 1: Nazi Germany and modern America and the potential for modern
• 2:22:01
  Speaker 1: America to become Nazi like Readominous Palles now today because
• 2:22:07
  Speaker 1: we're living, We're living, Dominans palows.
• 2:22:11
  Speaker 2: Michael in.
• 2:22:12
  Speaker 1: Most social anxiety and neu auticism is most social anxiety
• 2:22:18
  Speaker 1: and neuroticism caused by secondhand in mentality, being so overwhelmingly
• 2:22:23
  Speaker 1: concerned with your status in the hierarchy and how other
• 2:22:26
  Speaker 1: people are perceiving you.
• 2:22:27
  Speaker 2: I think that's.
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 1: Part of it. But the other part is what we've
• 2:22:30
  Speaker 1: talked about in the Members only shows. It's got to
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 1: do with the missing link. It's got to do with
• 2:22:35
  Speaker 1: the anti conceptual mentality. Again, when you cannot conceptualize, When
• 2:22:40
  Speaker 1: you cannot and you do not fully utilize the abs
• 2:22:46
  Speaker 1: tract capabilities of your mind, you know, the reasoning capabilities
• 2:22:49
  Speaker 1: in your mind, the conceptual ability of your mind, then
• 2:22:54
  Speaker 1: you cannot cope with so much of reality and that
• 2:22:57
  Speaker 1: causes you to be afraid. That causes you to be scared,
• 2:23:02
  Speaker 1: and that leads to tribalism, and it leads to second handedness,
• 2:23:06
  Speaker 1: and it leads to anxiety, and it leads to new articism.
• 2:23:09
  Speaker 1: They're all features of the anti conceptual mentality, Michael, do
• 2:23:15
  Speaker 1: narcissists like Trump have an end goal or does every
• 2:23:20
  Speaker 1: pursuit never fill an alfa filled void? Yeah, there's no,
• 2:23:23
  Speaker 1: there's no in goal. It's a void. It's it's it's emotion,
• 2:23:27
  Speaker 1: it's the emotion of the moment. But immediately new anxiety
• 2:23:30
  Speaker 1: comes about. It's never the whole is never filled. The
• 2:23:34
  Speaker 1: hole is never filled. Moulden Splendor says to clarify, twenty
• 2:23:39
  Speaker 1: five dollars a month would be great, one hundred dollars
• 2:23:41
  Speaker 1: a month would be a stretch, But asking my max
• 2:23:44
  Speaker 1: investment is likely what you really want to know, so
• 2:23:48
  Speaker 1: ask for the maximum dollars. Good point. I thought of
• 2:23:53
  Speaker 1: that just before the post started, but didn't get a
• 2:23:57
  Speaker 1: chance to change it. But asking for max dollars is right,
• 2:24:00
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 2:24:02
  Speaker 2: Not toavicy algorithm. Part one.
• 2:24:04
  Speaker 1: The sense I get from speaking with conservatives is they
• 2:24:08
  Speaker 1: care more about higherarchy than individual ambition. They oppose minimum
• 2:24:13
  Speaker 1: wage laws because they view it transferring resources down a
• 2:24:17
  Speaker 1: high key to people who are always meant to be
• 2:24:20
  Speaker 1: at the bottom.
• 2:24:21
  Speaker 2: You know your place. I think that's that's becoming.
• 2:24:26
  Speaker 1: I don't think that was true in the past, but
• 2:24:28
  Speaker 1: that's becoming more and more of it. They're buying into
• 2:24:32
  Speaker 1: this hierarchical society, higherarchys. It's a lobster argument that Jordan
• 2:24:38
  Speaker 1: Peterson makes. Higher key is an embedded in us. The
• 2:24:41
  Speaker 1: genetic they have to do with our DNA, so potentially
• 2:24:45
  Speaker 1: with our race. And yet so I think, yes, I
• 2:24:49
  Speaker 1: think that's becoming more and more of a reason. I
• 2:24:51
  Speaker 1: don't think it used to be. Linda says, we have
• 2:24:55
  Speaker 1: been out of California over a year and they are
• 2:24:58
  Speaker 1: still coming after us for dollars.
• 2:25:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's horrible. What California does.
• 2:25:03
  Speaker 1: I eased out of California and so far, you know,
• 2:25:08
  Speaker 1: they haven't come after me. But I haven't been I
• 2:25:11
  Speaker 1: think it's now five years. It's now eight years since
• 2:25:13
  Speaker 1: I lived California. Andrew, if the conservatives who say America
• 2:25:20
  Speaker 1: was built on a mixture of Judo Christian and Greek
• 2:25:23
  Speaker 1: principles are right, that only explains Americans in stability, not
• 2:25:28
  Speaker 1: that those two forces are compatible. Yes, absolutely, I think
• 2:25:32
  Speaker 1: that's right. And there's a sense in which absolutely was
• 2:25:34
  Speaker 1: built in a mixture. The good parts were all Greek
• 2:25:39
  Speaker 1: and the bad parts were all Judo, Christian Hapacampbell Andrew
• 2:25:45
  Speaker 1: Mercy claims the Ice agent was a hero defending his
• 2:25:48
  Speaker 1: life and radical left must be trolling at this point.
• 2:25:51
  Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, this is what fear.
• 2:25:54
  Speaker 2: Of the left is.
• 2:25:55
  Speaker 1: Overwhelms your cognitive capacities. That's all I can think. I
• 2:26:00
  Speaker 1: have to explain it. I don't get it. I don't
• 2:26:02
  Speaker 1: get it. So now it's okay to kill leftists because
• 2:26:05
  Speaker 1: they're radical, Just shoot them, not Javis algorithm parul one.
• 2:26:13
  Speaker 1: So two part. I find it frustrating that I'm always
• 2:26:16
  Speaker 1: the one bringing up I Ran when discussising politics of
• 2:26:19
  Speaker 1: philosophy with new social circles, whether at work or with
• 2:26:23
  Speaker 1: people on online chat rooms. It makes me think, how
• 2:26:26
  Speaker 1: can I be the only one who discovered rand and
• 2:26:30
  Speaker 1: got that she was right? No one else figured this out.
• 2:26:34
  Speaker 1: Very few people did a lot of people read, and
• 2:26:36
  Speaker 1: very few people figured out she was right. That's the
• 2:26:39
  Speaker 1: reality that all of us find frustrating. Believe me, I
• 2:26:43
  Speaker 1: find it frustrating. Yeah, and then people who claim they
• 2:26:47
  Speaker 1: figured it out turn out not so much, which is
• 2:26:50
  Speaker 1: even more depressing. Abram Compass I saw a video of
• 2:26:56
  Speaker 1: the UK objectivists on the Ice case. Given said the
• 2:27:00
  Speaker 1: matter is, I would be interested in seeing a debate
• 2:27:03
  Speaker 1: between two academic objectivists about what. There's no debate here.
• 2:27:10
  Speaker 1: There's nothing to debate. There really is nothing to debate.
• 2:27:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the UK objectivist position on ICE is,
• 2:27:21
  Speaker 1: but what are we going to debate? He got out
• 2:27:24
  Speaker 1: of the way. He didn't get out of the way.
• 2:27:25
  Speaker 1: These are police proscetidures. They're not police prostigures. You either
• 2:27:28
  Speaker 1: see it or you don't see it. You know, there's
• 2:27:32
  Speaker 1: no debate to be had here. There's no debate to
• 2:27:37
  Speaker 1: be had, and it's disappointing. But I know what motivates it.
• 2:27:45
  Speaker 1: I know what motivates it, and what motivates is it's
• 2:27:49
  Speaker 1: not to come out too strongly against Trump, That's what
• 2:27:52
  Speaker 1: motivates it, and not to come right now out against
• 2:27:56
  Speaker 1: illegal immigration too much. So you can't be too critical
• 2:28:00
  Speaker 1: of Ice if you want to stay in the good
• 2:28:01
  Speaker 1: graces of certain people. But there's no I mean, the
• 2:28:09
  Speaker 1: evidence is right there, it's available to every one of you.
• 2:28:11
  Speaker 1: Just make up your mind. Debating him will change nobody's mind.
• 2:28:15
  Speaker 1: You either see it or you don't see it. And
• 2:28:16
  Speaker 1: if you don't see it, then you don't see it,
• 2:28:18
  Speaker 1: and me pointing it out.
• 2:28:20
  Speaker 2: I've done it.
• 2:28:21
  Speaker 1: I've shown you photos, the videos, upline, I've gone through
• 2:28:24
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. I've gone through my argument. I've made
• 2:28:26
  Speaker 1: every argument I can. What would it help to have
• 2:28:30
  Speaker 1: somebody here arguing against me? You can do that in
• 2:28:32
  Speaker 1: your head and you make up your mind. I don't
• 2:28:42
  Speaker 1: know what the motive is. I don't know what the
• 2:28:44
  Speaker 1: motive is, but I'm suspicious given how straightforward this is.
• 2:28:52
  Speaker 1: Maybe I think some objectivists have a bias towards the police,
• 2:28:57
  Speaker 1: a bias that's in favor of the police. So I
• 2:29:11
  Speaker 1: think there's definitely a bias towards the police. And all right, Joe.
• 2:29:17
  Speaker 1: With a state of politics and culture in the US
• 2:29:19
  Speaker 1: so bad, what are we supposed to do? What is
• 2:29:23
  Speaker 1: the path forward? Does anyone actually have a real plan? Well,
• 2:29:25
  Speaker 1: there is no I mean the plan is to talk,
• 2:29:28
  Speaker 1: That's all you have. There's no beyond that. There is
• 2:29:32
  Speaker 1: no plan. We're not big enough of a movement to
• 2:29:34
  Speaker 1: make a real difference in politics. We need to use
• 2:29:39
  Speaker 1: every stage possible to educate people to talking to talking
• 2:29:42
  Speaker 1: to talking to talking to convert people as much as
• 2:29:44
  Speaker 1: we can get people to Readine Rand.
• 2:29:47
  Speaker 2: But I'm not sure what a plan looks like. This
• 2:29:51
  Speaker 2: is the plan. What I'm doing is the plan, but.
• 2:29:54
  Speaker 1: A lot more of it with lots of people, all right,
• 2:30:11
  Speaker 1: But the only way to change the state of the
• 2:30:13
  Speaker 1: culture is with better ideas. It's to change ideas of
• 2:30:16
  Speaker 1: the culture. The plan is to change ideas of the culture.
• 2:30:19
  Speaker 1: And how do you do that by presenting those ideas
• 2:30:23
  Speaker 1: in the culture? Pi Gupta? You heard it here. First,
• 2:30:28
  Speaker 1: Democrats are moving to the center. Also, many Democrat voters
• 2:30:32
  Speaker 1: are learning about rights and the constitution because of Ice. Yeah,
• 2:30:37
  Speaker 1: maybe up to a point, not too much, neo. If
• 2:30:44
  Speaker 1: you can still if you still can't link your sources
• 2:30:47
  Speaker 1: in your description because it keeps breaking. Instead just list
• 2:30:51
  Speaker 1: the title, names and author of article. Oh but you know,
• 2:30:57
  Speaker 1: you know, if I had to accumulate all my sources
• 2:31:00
  Speaker 1: and I mean and some stuff I read and then
• 2:31:02
  Speaker 1: I close the window and then I have to find
• 2:31:04
  Speaker 1: it again. You know, if you're gonna check all my
• 2:31:09
  Speaker 1: sources after every story I do, then yeah, it's too
• 2:31:14
  Speaker 1: much work, is the bottom line. It's way too much work.
• 2:31:17
  Speaker 1: I read so much in preparation for these shows, so
• 2:31:21
  Speaker 1: many different things, from mainstream media to marginal media, to
• 2:31:25
  Speaker 1: Twitter constantly to videos, watch stuff on YouTube, and then
• 2:31:32
  Speaker 1: you know, I prepare twenty topics and then I choose seven,
• 2:31:35
  Speaker 1: and I have some of my sources there and some
• 2:31:38
  Speaker 1: of them, but a lot of the stuff is gone.
• 2:31:41
  Speaker 1: And then of course I agree with a lot of stuff.
• 2:31:43
  Speaker 1: I sorry, I know a lot of stuff. I don't
• 2:31:45
  Speaker 1: have a direct source for it. But if you want
• 2:31:50
  Speaker 1: all those democratic posts, I guess I could link the
• 2:31:54
  Speaker 1: the Twitter posts that had them all the copy pasted
• 2:31:59
  Speaker 1: them all. Why not shoot to disable the vehicle? Why
• 2:32:07
  Speaker 1: all the profanity? Get the f out of the car,
• 2:32:11
  Speaker 1: fucking whatever, bitch horribly I'm professional, yes, and now shooting
• 2:32:17
  Speaker 1: to disable the car? Yeah, it's in the moment. It's hard.
• 2:32:22
  Speaker 1: You'd have to point the gun down it. Why pull
• 2:32:26
  Speaker 1: the gun. You scooted out of the way, maybe you
• 2:32:30
  Speaker 1: got hurt a little bit, But shooting who is not
• 2:32:33
  Speaker 1: going to help. It will not slow the car down,
• 2:32:36
  Speaker 1: It will not prevent you from being hit. So there's
• 2:32:41
  Speaker 1: no point at it. Now.
• 2:32:43
  Speaker 2: If you've got a car coming at you from a.
• 2:32:45
  Speaker 1: Distance and it's zooming towards you, and you're shooting the
• 2:32:48
  Speaker 1: driver hoping that you know, because you shut the driver,
• 2:32:51
  Speaker 1: you will swerve in a direction to miss you. Great,
• 2:32:54
  Speaker 1: but heah, Shooting the driver is not going to prevent
• 2:32:57
  Speaker 1: anything from happening. It might make it worse. Kids again
• 2:33:00
  Speaker 1: that let foot goes back on the accelerator and the
• 2:33:03
  Speaker 1: call will accelerate into you, not the opposite. Nothing good
• 2:33:09
  Speaker 1: given the position where he stood and where she was,
• 2:33:12
  Speaker 1: nothing good can come from shooting the driver. Nothing, there's
• 2:33:16
  Speaker 1: no there's nothing to be gained from it. Onie, I
• 2:33:26
  Speaker 1: started to see how Trump will go peacefully after a
• 2:33:28
  Speaker 1: second term. Do you think it's likely he will find
• 2:33:31
  Speaker 1: a legal loophole and run for a third term. I
• 2:33:36
  Speaker 1: think he's gonna try. I think he's gonna try. The
• 2:33:41
  Speaker 1: only way he doesn't is if he's convinced that whoever
• 2:33:47
  Speaker 1: is going to get denomination is his era apparent and
• 2:33:51
  Speaker 1: he can somehow get credit for it or something like that.
• 2:33:54
  Speaker 1: But he's going to try to do something, Steven says,
• 2:34:02
  Speaker 1: speaking streak, speaking of parallels other similarities today to when
• 2:34:07
  Speaker 1: France was divided royalists and bonapartists. Thoughts on who goes
• 2:34:12
  Speaker 1: novel ninety three. I don't know enough of royalists and Bonapartists.
• 2:34:17
  Speaker 1: I really don't. I haven't read ninety three in many,
• 2:34:20
  Speaker 1: many years, but when I read.
• 2:34:22
  Speaker 2: It, it was.
• 2:34:27
  Speaker 1: My favorite book outside of Rand, and I think to
• 2:34:30
  Speaker 1: this day the most profound experience I had outside of
• 2:34:35
  Speaker 1: Iinrand's novels was Who Goes ninety three. I loved Lemize Robolis.
• 2:34:39
  Speaker 1: That was another one where it was just amazing. It
• 2:34:41
  Speaker 1: was just a very long which I love. I loved
• 2:34:43
  Speaker 1: very long books because then you're in that universe for
• 2:34:45
  Speaker 1: a very long time. But ninety three was special. It
• 2:34:48
  Speaker 1: was it was I need to read it again this
• 2:34:52
  Speaker 1: year twenty twenty six, I'm going to reread ninety three.
• 2:34:55
  Speaker 1: That's my commitment. So I but I don't know enough
• 2:34:57
  Speaker 1: about the Royalists and Bonapartists and what was going on
• 2:35:00
  Speaker 1: on the dynamics to tell you in the French public,
• 2:35:04
  Speaker 1: and you know, I just don't know. But I'm going
• 2:35:07
  Speaker 1: to get ninety and audiobook and I'm going to listen
• 2:35:09
  Speaker 1: to it. I should do that, all right. Thank you guys,
• 2:35:15
  Speaker 1: really really appreciate it. Thank you to all the super shuttters.
• 2:35:20
  Speaker 1: Thanks all the questions you guys were great. Don't forget that.
