  Speaker 1: H how you show. All right, everybody, welcome to your
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: one book show on this Monday, Monday, August seventeenth. I
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: hope you had a great weekend. I hope you are
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: so hope you enjoyed my show with Nikos Uh. Yesterday
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: we talked about Mao se Uh it was. It was spooky.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: It was spooky in the sense of how, you know,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: we're talking about a lot of some of the most
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: evil regimes in the history of mankind. We did Cambodia,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: we talked about Mao. There's always the Soviet Union kind
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: of in the background Stalin and it is, and and
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: of course the Nazis and and uh it is. It's
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: scary how they got away with all that, and and
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: how they how people participated in it. And again, you know,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: one of the things that really differentiate the cultural evolution
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: in particular is the participation of just regular students who
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: land up killing about one day after two million people.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: It's just it really is stunning how normal people can
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: become monsters and and and how prevalent that is in
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: human history, and how often it happens, and it really
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: you really need to watch, you really need to watch
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the cultural trends and and see what is going on
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: because all those people out there who seem normal and
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: nice and friendly and and everything, in the right circumstances,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: with the right set of ideas, and I think the
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: ideas already here, in the right circumstances, with the right
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: kind of crazy leadership, they can become monsters. We saw
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: that in Germany and the Nazis. You definitely saw that
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: in the Soviet Union, Eastern Germany, the rest of the
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Soviet Bloc, and then of course in Cambodia and China.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: You know, we haven't even talked about Indonesia and all
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: these other places where we talked about Franco and and
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and how barbaric people became during the Civil War. So yes, uh,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: this should really cause people to reflect and think about
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the dangers of just letting letting bad ideologies take over
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: and become dominant in a culture and just sit on
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the sideline, assuming which I think the Jews of Germany assumed.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but the people are basically good, so nothing
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: really bad is going to happen. Yeah, right, that is
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: not worked out in history, not worked out well at all.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Talking about bad ideas, there's a lot of talk right now,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of energy right now. A lot of people
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: are writing about woke one point oh, Woke one point oh,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: suggest a woke two point zero. So we'll get to
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the walk two point zero in a minute. But let's
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: let's let's try to resurrect where this woke one point
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: zero has come from? And why suddenly all this interest
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: in resurrecting woke. I mean, there's a general there seems
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: to be a general view that woke as we knew
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: it in the late twenty teens and early twenty twenties
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: can of peak somewhere in the post COVID era, maybe
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. The number of cancelations, just the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: sheer vitriol around woke, the intersectionality, the identity politics, all
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: of that kind of peaked, and certainly with Trump's election,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: has been in decline as DEI becomes less popular and
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: as government backs away from DII and corporations seem to
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: back away from the I, and that a lot of
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: these issues and a lot of the kind of the
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: statements were made during the heyday of twenty twenty riots,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: defunding the police and things like that. All of that
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: kind of peak back then, and things are common now
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: and will rational now and seen and now at least
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: that is that is the I think the perspective most
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: people have, and there's a sense in which that is true.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Woke one one point zero. That phase of the Woke era.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's the last phase, but that phase
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: of the Wok era seems to be over in that
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: particular framing of issues, while it is still dominating academia.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: So when wonders how that all manifest itself, it's still
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: dominating academia. That particular phrasing might be over in the
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: question is what replaces it? Because again we'll see there's
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: there's been no reckoning on the left around woke one
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: point zero, around woke I'm using the terminology now one
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: point zero, But around Woke there's been no real intellectual
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: you know, thought and and and the analysis. And there
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: has been on the right, and there has been by
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: some on the center left, but not that many. And
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: and it just hasn't been kind of all the professors
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: who arguably created Woke, all the professors who you know,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: all those ideas of postmonderism that manifested in kind of
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: postcolonialism and intersectionality and the identity politics, and and and
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: everything else that expressed themselves in DEI and ESG and
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: all these other things. None of those professors have gone anyway.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: None of those professors have gone anyway. They're all there.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: The material is still being taught, the ideas are still alife,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: and well, you could argue that their expression has changed.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Will get to that when we talk about Woke two
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: point zero. The manifestation of those ideas has changed. But
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: you know, so the trans movement is not as big,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: and the trans issue is not as dominating, and a
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: lot of people on the left have walked away a
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: little bit from the trans issue because they saw it
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: is a losing issue. But there's been no rethinking. There's
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: been no challenge to the fundamental ideas, the fundamental philosophical
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: if you want to call them, philosophical ideas of that
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: led to well, so that set of a gender items
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: might have been put to the side. But all those
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: ideas again, the post colonialism, the intersectionality, the real altruistic
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: driven by altruism, and the the the identity politics, all
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: of that is going to have to be channeled into
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: new ideas, and we'll talk about what those might be
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: in a minute. So how did we get suddenly everybody
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: talking about one point zero? Well Aoc AOC the congresswoman
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: who has we are told ambitions to run for the
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Democratic No nomination for president in twenty twenty eight. She
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: was on ABC This Week, this last Sunday, and she
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: was asked about some of the positions that the Democratic
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Socialists took around twenty twenty. So not about the Democratic
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Socialist positions right now, some of which are completely insane,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: but around the Democratic Socialist positions in twenty twenty, primarily
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I think defund the police and do away with prisons
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: and things like that. And her response was, look, those
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: are products at the time, and she made the statement
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: of quote, woke one was crazy and she left and
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: then she quoted a politician friend and said quote and
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I think that's what's important is that we have to
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: assess what a candidate is saying nowote so don't look
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: back at what they said in twenty twenty. Yeah, things
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: were crazy in twenty twenty. People said crazy stuff in
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty. We said, evaluate people today on what they
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: said back then, because it was crazy. I mean life
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: was crazy, the environment was crazy. The influencers were crazy,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: So evaluate them now, you know. She went on to say,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: you know, it was the pandemic. There was a lot
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: of ten, there was a lot of stress. You know,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: those discussions were all fruitful. But the rhetoric in that
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: time is not rhetoric that we would use today. Why not,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: because that rhetoric got Donald Trump elected. She didn't say that,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I'm saying that, but that's the reason. Right, Do they
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: not believe it anymore? No, many of them still believe
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: it to the extent that they believed it back then. Right,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: A lot of them believed it back then. Why a
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: lot of them believed it back then because that was
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: the thing to believe. That was the cool thing to believe.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: That's what you retweeted. That's what got you in to
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the right kind of leftist circles? Is you holding these views?
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Not holding these views? You and outsider on the left
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: and in those days retreating and restating and re arguing
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: without thinking completely tribal tribal mentality of the left of around,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: you know, defunding the police around you know, violence, systemic racism,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Remember systemic racism. American society was filled, you know, were
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: saturated with systemic racism. And everything else that that you know,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: the woke, the wok agenda dictated back then. So you know,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: there's a number of high profile candidates who are trying
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: to wipe their twenty twenty record clean. And it's hard
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: to do because it's all public stuff. Nobody's going to
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: let it go. I mean, Harris tried to do it
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: during a you know, during a twenty twenty presidential campaign.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Harris and those taxpayer funded medically necessary gender transition surgeries
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: for federal inmates, decriminalizing border crossing, and banning plastic straws,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: among other things. Four years later, when she went for president,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: she tried to completely reposition herself for center left and
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: walk away from those from some of those ideas, and
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: you're seeing it now with a lot of the candidates,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: and of course Francisca Holng, who was the Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: a Democratic socialist who has who once called to the
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: elimination of the police as well as the elimination or prisons,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: even proposed doing away with Thanksgiving because it's a horrible,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: you know, racist holiday. They you know, she tried to
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: walk away from those and she probably lost the primary
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: to a more centrist Democrat as a consequence of not
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: being able to fully walk away from that, as a
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: consequence of people remembering all of that and not wanting
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: to walk away from it. So one was crazy is
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: a super official. Laugh off the problem and ignore, you know,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the fundamental issues, ignore the underlying ideology and philosophy that
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: you'd expect from AOC. I mean, laugh it off, not
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: take it seriously, and move on, right. And of course
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: she's going to want to do that AOC if she
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: wants to run for president, she's not going to run
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: as whoop one point zero candidate. And if she if
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: she doesn't run for president, she'll almost certainly run for Senate.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: And again she is going to have to moderate, you know,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: and kind of walk away from kind of the position
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: she and so many of her colleagues took back in
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: two thousand and twenty. Will voters accept that? Will voters
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: just accept, yeah, it was crazy back that. You'll forgive it.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Anything you said back then that doesn't count, We won't
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: count of the answer. Just whatever you want to say.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Phone anyway, there's a there's a real wrecking going on.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: A lot of people are writing about woke one point
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: zero and what happened and what it is? And and
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: and what's happening today? And is woke really gone? Because
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: woke moved? What is woke today? But I mean what
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: characterized woke was the sense of, you know, among the tribe,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: the need to reaffirm whatever stupid idea was being promoted
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: at the time. You know, you know, uh Mann I
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Glacis who is kind of center left but is way
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: way way to accommodating of the nutty left. He writes,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Those who actually said nutty things have suffered for it
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: to an extent, which is actually why there's now this
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: effort to slick away from them. But those who ended
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: up on the wrong side of woke one fads also suffered.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: The winners were those who ducked the storm budget experts
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: who knew it wasn't true that cities spent more money
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: in police than schools, but didn't say so and emerged
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: with their reputations unscathed. Then, insteative structure, he continues to
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: avoid being the well actually guy is still very much
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: with us and means that any kind of discourse could
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: go widely off the rails. And unfortunately, while we are
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: now deeply into an anti woke backlash on the right,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: the backlash isn't taking the form of resisting the poor
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: epistemic practices of the work left. It's resisting the value
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: of caring about you know, he says the week and
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: unfortunate while replicating the same toxic dynamics, and I think
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: he's right. We've replaced one point zero with WOK two
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: point one and walk two point two. Walk two point
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: one is the complete and out of tribalism. We're seeing
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: on the right the exact same kind of epistemic mentality.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Epistemic means epistemology from empistemology, not bothering to figure out
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: if something's true or not not looking into the facts,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: not evaluating, but just following the dogma, following the tribe.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: And you know, while there are several tribes now, there
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: are several tribes now on the right, they each have
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: their tribal leaders, and they each have their tribal dogma,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: and the tribal dogma gets repeat, repeat, repeat, recycled, repeat repeat.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Psycho the the idea of you know, the phenomena of wokeness,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: which involved not bothering with reality, not bothering with thinking,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: but buying into whatever it was the leaders of the
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: movement dictated whatever they said, not bothering with statistics or
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: facts or evidence or anything like that. That unfortunately, that
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: post modern, and I think it's very post modern, that
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: idea that the truth is whatever the truth is, you know,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: let's not let's not take truth very seriously. That is
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: very much alive and well. And it's on the right
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: and it's on the left. And you know, nothing in
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: that sense, nothing has been nothing, nothing's changed, nothing's changed
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: in terms of the fundamental ideas the left still holds.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: And if anything, the epistemology of the tribalism, of that
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: woke mentality has now spread to many many other parts
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: of you know, a culture and many many other parts
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: of our nation, and now it unites both left and right. Uh.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: You know, there's a uh, there's an essay in in
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: the Atlantic about wo one point zero and and you
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: know what is and it you know, it makes the
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: case that at the end of the day, the fundamental
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: ideas haven't changed. So now it's a question of what
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: becomes the dogma. And if you look at that, right, well,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: the new dogmas around Trump, anything he does right, he
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: can't do any wrong. That is weakening as people are
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: becoming more and more and more frustrated with Trump. It
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: has to do with Ice and not even thinking about
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: what Ice is actually doing, what the facts actually show.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: And you still feel you see people defending Ice on
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: the basis of law enforcement and protecting us from criminals,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: when what Ice is doing he has nothing to do
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: with that and never had anything to do with that.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: You still get, uh, you still get. You know, on
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: the right, people people retweeting, reinforcing Trump's genius, Trump's three
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: D chests in all kinds of aspects of what the
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: administration is doing. There's less of that on Tabiff's recently,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: but it's the same phenomena. And then on the left,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: what you're getting now is what you're getting now is
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: really this this democratic socialist What you're getting now is
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: woke two point oh two point zero is less about
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: racial politics. It's less about the oppressor, and they're oppressed.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Although you know that manifests itself, particularly in the Israeli
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Palestinian conflict and in the just unthinking attitude towards Israel
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: and towards the Palestinians. Just unthinking that has become dogma
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: in woke two point zero for the left and to
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: some extent for the right. But then now you've got
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: a morphing from you know, racial politics to class politics.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: So now it's just it's just a given that we
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: need a wealth tax. It's just a given that they're rich. Uh,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: these horrible people that that need to be need to
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: be suppressed and taxed and and and reamed in. It's
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: just a given that inequality is exposed and it's destroying
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: this country. It's just a given that, you know, young
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: people are struggling, and it's just horrible and it's just
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: difficult to need. You know, everything about America is is
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: horrible and destructive. And what we need is radical change
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: through some kind of form of socialism, even if we
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: don't use that term socialism. So what you're seeing on
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: the left is a re orientation around and all the
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: kind of Marxism and a hatred of Visral. Those are
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: the two big issues right now on the left. Hatred
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: of Visrael, alignment with the Palestinian Cause, alignment with Hamas,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: and a resurrection of Marxist ideology. And as the Democratic
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: given the Deracratic Party today is dominated by college educated
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: by the college educated again nothing in their education has changed,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: so a press press apply to Israel Palestinian Since October seventh,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: that has been the main issue that has you know,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: animated the left. And then beyond that, it's cost of living.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: You know, young people are really struggling in what we need,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: you know, to solve this problem are things that economists
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: have debunked over and over and over again. It doesn't
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: matter one ayota. Price controls like rent control. And by
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: the way, price controls are very popular across the political
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: spectrum in America right now. I mean the shoe ignorance,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: central planning, industrial polo see bringing their jobs back somehow.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: So now you know, maybe defund the police is not
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: high on their agenda. Though, if you read the Democratic
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Socialist of America platform, it is it makes whatever was
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: said in twenty twenty by the radical left, it makes
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: it look like child's play, right. I mean, they don't
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: just want to abolish the police and abolish prisons. They
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: want to bort us the Senates, and they want to
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: get rid of the Supreme Courts, and you know, they
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: basically want to get rid of that. They want a
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: completely different full government. They want to get rid of
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: the constitution. They are farm more, you know, extreme and
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: anti American and anti American system. And then even work
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: was and they're running candidates and of candidates of the
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: fairly successful, and they're really all over the place. Now
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: I don't think they can win. I've said this many times.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: I think ultimately, the more democratic socialis of America you become,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: the more you will fail, the more voters will reject you.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: I worry more about like this Al Sayad guy in Michigan. Like,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: one of the things I just read about Al Sayad
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: is he is claiming he's a capitalist. He's he's claiming
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: he is. This is the leftist who just won the
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Democratic primary in Michigan, and he's claiming that the problem
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: is that you know, we don't have we don't have.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: We need a resurrect We need to save capitalism, and
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: we need more competition. We need and to do that,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: you need more state involvement and we need to break
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: up the AI monopolies by having the state own them.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: But that's capitalism to him. So he's of the Elizabeth
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Warren school, who's not a democratic socialist. Elizabeth Waller has
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: always claimed that she's a strong believe in capitalism. She
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: wants to save capitalism. She wants to protect protect capitalism,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: and you need strong state involvement, strong regulations, strong you know,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: central planning in order to save capitalism from itself. Those
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: people scame me more than the Democratic socialist in America.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: I think don't have a chance. But it's going to
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: be interesting, given the tribal mentality they were seeing, both
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: on left and right, it's going to be really interesting
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: to see how, you know, how the features of woke tribalism,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: uh you know, in an in groups, out groups based
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: on uh, you know, tribal belonging, in the tribal acceptance.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: I mean again, we don't need these woke terminologies. I
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: think tribalism captures, it will capture certain mentality. I think
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: this idea that there's a woke two point zero is
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: probably ultimately going to be pretty silly. And given that
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: the epistemic issues across the entire political spectrum, I'm not
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: sure how you're you know, it's going to be two
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: point one for the rights and two point two for
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: the left, of how exactly you're going to talk about
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: what it actually means right now? You know, right now
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: the left is ascended, particularly among young people. Trump is
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: unbelievably unpopular, Republicans unbelievably unpopular, as they should be, and
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: the left seems to be strong as a consequence, and
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: the people who are most vocal and the left, the
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: people who are succeeding on the left are the most
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: extreme people, which again you'd expect because of the most
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: consistent people. And you know, we'll see whether people get
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: canceled and how they get canceled. I'm sure people are
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: still getting canceled, and you know, Twitter mobs are still
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: out there trying to discipline people around stuff. It's not
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: the kind of hysteria that we saw in twenty twenty,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: but it's still out there. So we'll see how all
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: this evolves. You know, I don't really expect the particulars
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: of the work phenomena to come back, but the basic
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: ideas again, the tribalism, the unthinking, the then not caring
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: about truth, but caring about which group you belong to
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: that is with us and it's going to be with
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: us for a long time. And then together with that
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: this idea of I don't know if you canceling, you know,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: but I've said many signs I'm awful canceling. I'm not
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: against canceling in and of itself. It's canceling for unust reasons,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: canceling for true realities, canceling because you didn't fight, so
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: the exact trible ligne that you were supposed to. That
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: is what seems so irrational and stupid at the time,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: and that might come back, that might come back. Wouldn't
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: be surprised, all right. So again, the new thing is
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: anti rich, anti Israel. That's that's the big stuff. That's
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: that's where the ideas are concentrated on. It's it's just
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: the same play of oppressed oppressor manifest differently instead of racially,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: although that will probably come back as well. Instead of
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: focusing on the racial aspect of it, it's focused on
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: on socio economic on economic side, not social and economic,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: which is again a return to kind of Marxist roots,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: and focused on.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Very ancient roots, which was you know, Jews successful, Jews
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: running the world, Israel, Palestinians, Palestinians oppressed, Jews rich and successful.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Uh And and that's that's just the post colonialism stuff.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Uh And and again completely embraced by the right, which
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: is interesting. But Tucker Carlson right completely embraced, all right.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Connected to all this is the rise and fall of
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Jason Oda. Jason Ada, who was the youngest uh, the
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: youngest black uh to become a professor at Cambridge University. Uh,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: the youngest blast professor in Cambridge University's history, Uh, committed
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: suicide over the weekend. Brought the story even more full force.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Two the scent of things. So let's let's delve into
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: the Jason A Day story and and and then some
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: of the responses to it. So just an Audi again
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: was was killed? Is this amazing? Uh? You know, amazing uh,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: young rising star in academia. He was now again a
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: lot of his Uh. So he you know, he was
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: at Cambridge in the sociology department, got a professorship, professorship
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: in the sociology department, and was again praised. And on Wednesday, last,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: you know, last week, week before last. Uh, he following
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: two weeks of accusations about plagiarism, but also accusations questioning
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: his academic work plagiarism in his dissertation, but also questions
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: about his whole backstory, his whole biography, he resigned from Cambridge,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: resigned from Cambridge and then, as I said over the weekend,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: it appears committed suicide. So let's go into some of
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: this biography, right supposedly, Again, it's hard to tell what's
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: fact and what's fiction. When it comes to Jason Arday's biography.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: He was diagnosed supposedly as artistic as a child. He
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: says he was non verbal until he was eleven, and
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: only Lee learned to read and write at age eighteen. Now,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: a lot of people have questioned that account. You know,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: school mates of his who were in school with him
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: when he was eleven, when he was under eleven, and
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: then later on challenge that account. But that is the
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: story that he has been telling for a long time.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: That's a story that's been embraced. And this is part
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: of the rags to riches. Not rags to riches, but
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: but a kid who cannot read, cannot write at eighteen
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: becomes youngest black professor in Cambridge's history in less than
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: twenty years. So at age thirty eight, he becomes the professor.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: So let's let's let's run down thumb. I don't think
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: this is exhausted. Some of the questions that have been
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: asked about him, and you don't note that I'm going
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: to read you from some of this. This is from
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: of the Guardian, and the Guardian is like, it's like
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: the leftist newspaper in the United Kingdom. So this is
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: the Guardian acknowledging these issues with this guy. And you know,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: so from a leftist newspaper. You know, assume this is
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: the moderate version, right, So let's talk about plagiarism. This
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: is from the newspaper are They first faced allegations that
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: he playediarized parts of his PhD thesis and other academic
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: research late last year. He has rejected the claims. The
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Telegraph reported that analysis has found more than one hundred
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: passages in his PhD were similar to another thesis by
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Paul Meyers, a student at Brunell University of London, published
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: six years previously. Now, supposedly there have been other investigations
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: into this, for example by Liverpool John Moorees University, which
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: actually gave him his PhD in twenty fifteen, and they
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: they upheld that this was all honest and reasonable era.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: But these allegations of all resurfaced and now it looks
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: a lot worse than that, and people of course are
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: asking how much of this looking the other way allowing
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: this to go forward. How to do with the fact
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: that he was black and the fact that he had
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: this amazing backstory not black story backstory to justify it. So,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: you know, lots of people have been accused of plagiarism
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: over the last few years. Presidents of universities have resigned
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: over plagiarism accusations. So if there really are signs of plagiarism,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: it's reasonable for the university to ask questions, and it's
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: reasonable to expect that that caused his resignation, you know,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: from Cambridge. Now he also faced claims that some of
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: his a recent published work is flawed. From the article.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: The Times published analysis on Wednesday that found some of
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: his research contained quote impossible evidence that was littered with inconsistencies.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: Two corrections have previously been made to papers he released
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen and twenty twenty. Again, he's at Cambridge,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: He's at a prestigious university. How does he get away
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: with us? Why does this all coming out now? Why
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: for years has he gotten away with plagiarism? And then
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: you know, impossible evidence if you will. Now he's also
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: claimed the number of prestigious academic positions that have been
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: questioned again. To quote the article, the website for the
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Jesus College where Are They was a Fellow stated that
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: he had been a visiting professor at Ohio State University
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: in the Office of Diversity and Inclusion and at the
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: University of Glasgow in the School of Education. Both universities
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: denied this. When he was granted a professorship of Cambridge,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: did nobody do any due diligence about his academic credentials.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: His biography also stated that they were still a quote
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Honawball book professor at Durham University in the Department of
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Sociology and you know whay he had previously worked. The
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: university told The Daily Mail that he no longer held
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: that role at the institution. They has also claimed to
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: have completed a master's in psychodynamic practices at Burbeck University
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: of London and afterwards became a fully qualified counselor, which
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: gave him a rich quote A rich understanding of mental
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: health is quoting him. However, when The Guardian contacted Burbeck,
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: the university said it had not been able to find
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: records of a student named Jason Auday having studied that
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: audience claim to have published a book called Being Young,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Black and Male, challenging the dominant discourse with Pelgrave. McMillan.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: The publisher subsequently confirmed that it took a proposal from
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: our Day, but the book was never published. So these
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: are pretty bold face lies. This is not some this
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: is not true vial stuff, plagiarism, fake data. It sounds
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: like only possible evidence. However you want to call that
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: and then just lying on your resume. People gun fired
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: all the time for this kind of stuff and a
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: lot less. So again, why why was he allowed to
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: stick around? All right? What is going on here? All right?
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know what semi logistics issue is, but let
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: me just say, if you're gonna dominate the chat, I'm
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: gonna block you. So if you want to stay on
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: the chat, fine and post once in a while, fine,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: But if you're gonna, you know, just just constantly post
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: on that, I'm just gonna block you because it's, uh,
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: it's just disruptive and non conductive. So you make the call.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: He also has these, you know, crazy claims that he's
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: made over the years about his sports achievements. So, for example,
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: he claims to have run thirty marathons, in thirty five
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: days to raise money for charity into twelve. When they
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: met the tennis star Andy Murray, he told him he
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: had an epileptic seizure during one of the marathons and
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: fractures his leg. Despite that incident, are they claim to
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: have run nine more marathons to complete the challenge. Thirty
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: marathons in thirty five days. That's crazy. Here's a claim
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: at public events to have run six hundred miles in
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: six days, an achievement that would make him one of
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: the world's most gifted endurance runners. The you know the
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: men's record is six hundred and fifty miles in six
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: days now. He ultimately said because of cumulative waymentary of
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: training from his previous running challenges, he had to put
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: rest days in between the running days just to finish
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: the six hundred mile challenge, which he actually completed over
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: a twelve day period. Even knows if that's true. He
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: claimed in twenty twenty four to have played for Crystal
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Palace the football team as an under eighteen. He told
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Talking Matters podcast. He spent a handful of years at
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: the club before going on to a semi professional football
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: to playing seven professional football for twelve years. Again, Crystal
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: Palace can't confirm it. Their down of records going back
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: to the nineties and early two thousands, but nobody remembers them.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: It's charitable works as well as his insurance running claims,
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: Ode has said he has completed other charitable work over
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: the past two decades. He claimed in media interviews that
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: raised five million pounds for charities over twenty year period.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: As his critics online Are pointed out, five million pounds
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: raised for charity would be a staggering amount for someone
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: who is not famous. In twenty twelve, are They said
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: he hoped to raise two hundred and fifty thousand pound
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: house by the time he was fifty. When asked if
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: the five million I Wounded figures accurate, are They told
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: The Guardian the money had been raised with the help
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: of many fundraising collectives over a two decade period. He
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: also said he is part of one hundred person syndicate.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: When asked identify other people that took part in these efforts,
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Aude said he had signed an NDA preventing him from
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: disclosing that information. Convenient Ade claimed to have visited South
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: America and West Africa to install water points with the
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: charity Water Aid. The charity said, quote, out of respect
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: for the people we work with, it never sent its
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: volunteers abroad. Water Aid added that it doesn't encourage a
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: facilitate self funded visits either. In Our Day's memoir, he
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: mentions going to Brazil to installer well, but does not
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: mention Water Aid. So you know, this guy fabricated his history,
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: fabricated his research, lies constantly and plagiarized. He also claim
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: to be harassed and intimidated. There is some you know,
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: suggesting that some of his truth. But you know, for example,
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: you know, he's he's claimed to be confronted in the
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: faculty building on two separate occasions by masked man who
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: threatened to harm him if he did not resign and
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: evade the detection. Both times. On both occasions are they
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: said the intruder had produced a knife and threatened him
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: with it, but the intruder's not picked up on CCTV.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: On either occasions, no one in the faculty reported seeing
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: anyone suspicious, and they did not report either intrusion. At
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: the time. He did not inform his colleagues that a
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: masked man with a knife was in the faculty building
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: so he also lied about these kind of harassments and threats,
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: and an article goes on with other examples and so on.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: So here's a guy who, yeah, lied, she did his
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: way through life, and ultimately, when confronted with all that,
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: was forced to resign. And you know, I guess ultimately,
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: you know, once he resigned, all this came out. The
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: Guardian published this after he resigned. All this came out
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: once he resigned, and you know, everybody kind of attacked
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: him and he couldn't handle He couldn't handle all that,
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: and he commits suicide over the weekend. Now the response
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: from the left, you know, is quite striking. Of course,
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: this is what UH Decon, the Mayor of London wrote,
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: Jason Day was the victim of pernicious public shaming that
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: other people in his position simply wouldn't have faced. Now
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: that's just blatantly untrue. People are constantly caught with plagiarism,
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: constantly you know, kicked out of academia for having views
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: that are not acceptable. I mean, what was the whole
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: woke phenomenon for years, you know, in in in England
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: in particular, if you challenge the you know, the leftist
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: dogma over trans issues. It was it was hard to see,
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: you couldn't survive. I mean, Kathleen Stock was bullied out
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: of the University of Sussex Overhoo views on gender. So
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: Tim Hunt was subject the most brutal kind of outline
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: backlash after making one perhaps off color joke about women,
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: prompting him to resign his position as honorary professor at
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: the University College London. I mean, think about Larry Summons
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: who had to resign from Harvard for making basically a
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: comment about women. And this is not a whole history
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: a plagiarism, fake academics. I mean, wasnt the president of
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: one of the universities had a resign of a plagiarism attacks?
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: Was it the president of the dean at Stanford who
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: had to resigned over fake data in his scientific research.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: There's a long tradition of this. There's no pernicious public
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: shaming given the extent of his lying, what appears to
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: be the extent of his lying, an extent of his fakery,
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: it seems like the public shaming was completely justified and
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: left doing. Mengba of Parliaments, Zahara Sultana said, if Jason
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: ODDI were a white middle class academic, he would not
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: have been hounded by the British press in the way
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: he was. You know what part of this is the
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: fact that he was hailed as the nixt coming because
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: he was a black professor. I mean, if you make
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: race into a big deal, then don't be surprised when
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: it comes back to bite you. He was hailed as
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: the youngest black professor at Cambridge and then hailed does
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: this superstar black academic black always as part of it,
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: So surply surprise when he fails. People say, wait a minute,
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: you hailed him for all this stuff they piled onto.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, probably the craziest is an article by Ibram
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: X Kendy. Remember Kenny Kenny, the anti racist racist. He said,
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: the death of Jason Ade hit so close to home
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: that I had no words yesterday, but I woke up
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: with woods. To be a prominent anti racist black scholar
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: is to know you are a target, almost totally surrounded
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: by resentments. You know that at any point the attacks
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: can come like a lynch mob. And if you died
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: from all the attacks, the media still caused the attacks
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: on you, accusations to wash the hands of the blood
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: your lynches announce your death as if they had no
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: role in your lynching, and the title of his new
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: piece in The Emancipated it's called the media Lynched Jason Aude.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: This is what John McCord wrote about this. No engagement
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: with the arrant lies the massive plagiarism the airy public addresses.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: Hendy thinks all that is okay if you're black and
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: have dreadlocks, and that all they were still a legitimate
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: academic seized upon because of his color. Hendy thinks blackness
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: exempts one from amassing data, drawing connections, and presenting novel insights.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: You're the real thing in just showing racism exists. Despite
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: that this is a rote exercise. We don't have to
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: be actually smart, and in fact shouldn't be to Western
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: We are authentic in eternally contesting that take is deep.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: If you have dreadlocks and change your name to Kenny.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: Note that he seems not to have worked out at
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: the Atlantic and publishes the soapbox performance art somewhere. You're
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: a little surprised the public intellectual of his stature would
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: choose I wish Ardi was still alive. But this stake
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: in our day has lynched his performance art. American academia
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: should hesitate to embrace it. I mean that's John Worther
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: could write, he is a beautiful writer. And yes, I
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: mean this is from Richard Hanania, which I think is true.
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: Are they as a symptom? And him getting away with
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: his lives as long as he did indicates that Cambridge
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: is an even worse shape than most of a thought.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: If universities don't want the scrutiny that comes from being
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: high prestige institutions, they can no longer continue with their
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: assumption that the rest of us should be deferring to
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: them on intellectual, model or political issues. You're the ones
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: who told us that being quote, the youngest black professor
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: in the history of Cambridge was newsworthy when a Day
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: was being championed as an inspirational figure, being interviewed Amazing
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: US programs, and getting one point four million advance on
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: his book according to Ardie himself, for what that's worth.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: None of the critics of the recent coverage of his
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: fall were saying that society was paying too much attention
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: towards going on in academia. Now that it has become
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: clear that Cambridge prioritized the ideology of diversity over academic
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: rigor or the concern for truth. The rest of us
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: are supposed to feel guilty for taking what are Day's
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: boosters within and outside the university said at face value
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: as his last are they temporarily made it more difficult
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: to have a real discussion about what has gone wrong
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: in Western intellectual life, that is, committing suicide. But the
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: degree to which Cambridge failed and the vividness of his lies,
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: you know well, hopefully help this story serve a purpose
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: thanks in part to the uselessness of the so called
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: scholarship he produced in death, or they might make a
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: contribution to the advancement of human knowledge after all. So,
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is a sad story of the consequence
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: of whoa. It's a sad story of the consequence of
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: what we experience in the late you know, two thousands
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: and into the twenty twenties, and I'm sure still exposed
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: still experience saying you know out there. This is again
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: from Macorda, from a different article he wrote at The
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: Free Press. There's an old joke about white people's reception
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: of black colleagues. After the black professor finishes giving a talk.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: Someone in the audience asks if you can tap dance too?
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: Not a very funny joke. All Day's elevation at Cambridge
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: was founded in racism. No less avods so what we
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: call reverse racism, but it's racism. So racism is racism.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: We treat people based on their race for good or
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: for ill. It is evil, it is wrong, and they're
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: horrific consequences, horrific consequences to that. And it's hard to
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: tell what's true and what's not true about our day's life,
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: because you know, it could very well be that at
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: some point he stopped knowing what was true and was
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: not true about the stories he was telling everybody about
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: his own life. That often happens with liars. They can't
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: tell the difference anymore. But this is a symptom of well,
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: this is not the symptom. This is the consequence of
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: the kind of racial ideology that dominated and I think
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: is still dominant in our universities. This is the consequence
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: of kind of DEI on steroids. This is the consequence
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: of paying attention, elevated attention, exaggerated attention to a person's
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: race and giving them credit for you know, the color
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: their skin rather than the quality of their mind, and
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: in the university context, the quality of their research, the
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: quality of their teaching, the quality of their ideas. And
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: in this sense, I don't know what the university is
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: going to learn from this odd day experience. Again, woke
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: one point zero seems to peaks a few years ago.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: But what what has changed in underlying ideas? Almost nothing?
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: How are they going to manifest themselves? We will see.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: We will see how much of it is going to
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: be raised versus other things. It's hard to tell. All right,
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: let us shift gears to more newsy stuff like I
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: let's talk about you know, I think Trump. I haven't
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: talked about Trump in a w uh I think now
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: almost you know, not two years, but what a year
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: and eight months or something like that. A year and
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: eight months into Trump's presidency, You really now we get
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: the scale of the extent to which he is a
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: failed president, to which his policies have failed through and through.
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: You know, the economy is okay, but people feel and
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: and and there's some justification for the feeling that their
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: stand of living is declining, cost of living is going up,
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: Wages at least in the last few months have been
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: below the rise in cost of living. You also seeing
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: a lot of angst right now given the massive economic
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: changes that we should expect a the result of AI.
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: We need a real leader. We need somebody who can
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: calm people down, who can actually articulate a future, can
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: positive what AI makes possible and get people excited about it.
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: We don't have such a leader, and we have a leader.
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: The basically is it is not dealing with the issue,
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: it's just ignoring it. And it's true by not regulating,
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: that's a positive, right, given the positive, but on the
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: other hand, not communicating leaving people in angst out there,
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: both on the right and the left. The majority of
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: Americans today are suspicious and resentful of AI. His tariff
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: policy is a complete fiasco and a disaster. I mean,
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: given the investment going on right now in AI, UH,
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: given the growth in technology, Americas should be experienced an
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: economic boom. We should be thriving. We're not to a
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: large extent because of FED policy around around money and
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: because of the Trump administrations insane tarists. And it's not
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: the tariff itself that is damaging. It's everything surrounding the
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: tariff done. Certainly, the the the uh, you know, and
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: and and the fear that that it is created among
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: people around the cost of living. Uh and and rising prices,
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: So policies that are not helping America domestically. And we're
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: not seeing a real focus on other than he kept taxes.
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: We're not seeing any focus on significant ways of which
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: will become free. Now it's true in energy, maybe in
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: transportation a few places, this's some deregulation going on in
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: some minor improvements happening, but there's no focus on that.
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: This administration is not focused on liberating the US economy
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: and just a little bit of that. And if you
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: got rid of these stupid tariffs again, this economy could boom,
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: could boom. There's a gas prices going up because you
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: can't finish a war. But maybe the area in which
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: Trump has been the biggest failure, the biggest failure by far,
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: Gee Grebler says, you're incorrect about tariffs. No, I'm not
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: tarifs on mitigated disaster. And I said this, I've been
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: talking about tariffs for ten years. I know economics, and
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: I've got long, long, long shows articulating the case against tariffs.
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: Why all the arguments, every single argument you can make
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: about taffs. A positive argument about task is wrong. It's
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: wrong practically, it's wrong, theoretically, it's wrong morally, it's it's
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: you know, I've done a whole course for the Peterson
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: Academy and globalization and trade, and I articulate all the
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: reasons why tariffs are you know, disasters. You know again,
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: they're not single handedly good because trade is not big
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: enough relative to the size of these economy to tank
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: the use economy. But they're definitely slowing things down, raising
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: prices and just raising taxes. Tariff is attacks, Tarifa's attacks
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: on all of us. It's a sales tax on certain
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: types of goods. And the one thing we know this
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: has not done is they've not brought any manufacturing back
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: to the United States because manufacturing jobs have actually declined.
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: So Cuba, Venezuela all do in parts of taff No,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: none of that is true, and nothing. Nothing has happened
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: with China. China is more emboldened and the Chinese economy
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: is struggling because of the Chinese economy and decisions China
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: made about the Chinese economy. It has nothing to do
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: without tariffs. Venezuela has nothing to do without tariffs. Cuba
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: is an embargo, it's not tariffs. Cuba is a completely
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: different story, isn't. And the same with Venezuela. They're no
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: tariffs in Venezuela. Venezuela is in embargo. So no, I
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: mean people who talk about tariffs, people who try to
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: justify Trump's tariff generally don't know what tariffs are. They
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: don't know how they used. They don't know much about
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: international economics or the international scene. Don't know tariffs in Venezuela.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: Venezuela is not Inbogo. There's no talis in Cuba. It
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: was a Rebogo and tarots have done nothing to China,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: nothing the US government, Trump admits. Trump's administration admits that
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: we're still importing in the same Chinese goods as we
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: used to. We're just doing it now through third party
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: third countries. And now they want to create a whole
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: system attracts the goods and penalizes any country that is
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: caught siphoning Chinese goods into the United States. Because there
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: hasn't really done anything. China is exporting more stuff today
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: than ever in its history. Chinese problems have to do
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: with Chinese economic policies. It's not an issue of disagreeing
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: glob but it's an issue of facts. It's an issue
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: of reality. This is the issue of epistemic knowledge that
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: I talked about earlier. The question is is their truth
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: and are their facts? Your opinion doesn't matter. Your opinion
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: is irrelevant. And it's not that I'm just claiming arbitrarily
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: that I know stuff that I've got a ten year,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: fifteen year record, ten year record of preventing facts on tariffs,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: on trade, lecturing on trade, teaching classes on trade, going
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: through trade economics. You know, and you know ten years.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying trust me, but I'm saying you should
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: be wary of challenging me on tariffs. And if you
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: hear me say this stuff on taffs, your response should
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: be go research a little bit about who I am,
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: and then maybe go research a little bit about what
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: you actually know and what you actually don't know. Anyway,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: the area in which Donald Trump has been worst has
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: been a complete and utter, unequivocal failure. Giver is doing
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: what they always do. Oh, trade is not the only good,
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: So I else to convince you on that issue. Let
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: me jump to another issue to try to do on
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: every issue. Tariffs are evil and bad and wrong and
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: ineffectual and don't achieve even the state of targets that
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: they set out to achieve. And again I cover all
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: the non trade issues that relate to Terrris. You're absolutely right.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: Trade is not the only good. Trade is a huge good,
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: but it's not the only good. And yet tariffs fail
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: to achieve any good. They achieve lots of bad all
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: right back to farm policy. This is the area where
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: Trump has failed and is failing right now on a
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: historical scale. I can't think of a president who has
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: made more blunders, and it's wrong to call them blunders
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: because this is what he really believes has has has
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: damaged the United States more from a farm policy perspective
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: than Donald Trump has. He started a war which should
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: have been easy to win, and he didn't win it.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: He actually lost it to a fine fury of force
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: that has no real weapons of consequences. Is a poor nation,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: and yet the United States cannot because of the leadership
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: of Donald Trump, cannot defeat this nation. You want. He
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: started a war with no strategy, no strategy how to
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: keep the homos straights open, no strategy on what regime
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: change looked like, no strategy on what getting rid of
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: the nuclear programs looked like, no strategy around it actually
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: destroying the missout capability. None. He then, you know, signs
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: a memoran of understanding with the regime that has never
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: lived up to any signed agreement ever and has no
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: reason to. And all the things, I'm threatening them with
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: the annihilation and blowing them up in all of this
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: and never doing it, threatening, threatening, threatening, red lines, red lines,
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: red lines. They crossed the red lines constantly, and he
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: does nothing. Now it turns out there's a big wall
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: seat journal body coat, which I don't know why it
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: surprises anybody. You run secret plan to escalate the war.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: Intercepted communications and other intelligence suggests a strategic shift by
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: hardline leaders to raise the costs for the US and
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: its allied and its regional allies. The story basically says,
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: let me see if this was the Yeah. The story
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: basically says, when the Iranian side them the memory of
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: understanding and the drum administration got all engaged with, let's
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: go in and negotiate with them. The Iranians basically hunk
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: it down and sat down and planned out how they
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: will continue the war in phase two. They rearmed, They
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: opened up the block tunnels to get at the missiles.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: They bought equipment from the Chinese and the Russians. They
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: reassembled the factories that are being destroyed to make ballistic
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: missiles and drones. Everything that you'd expect a regime like
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: the Ranians to do in the war. Stat John and
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: everybody else is surprised. Oh my god, here's the opening power.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: After President Trump signed a memorandi of understanding with Iran
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: in Midjune, administration officials fanned out to build support for
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: an agreement they could reopen the state of homeowns and
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: start winding down the wall. The stupid Navy te of
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: the Trump administer Nations fam parting Navy TA is not
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: Navy te bladness evasion I continue for anautico Ian's hardline
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: leaders how old in Tehran and came up with a
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: different plan, according to Uranian and Arab officials. In their view,
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: the pact was likely just an attempt by the United
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: States and NASO to take pressure off the global economy
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: and buy time for a bigger attack down the road.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: Instead of putting faith in talks, they took the past
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: two months to prepare for a bigger fight. The efforts
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: include giving the powerful Islamic Revolutionary God Corps more control
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: of the country's regular army, appointing hardened veterans of the
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: war with Iraq and passed internal crackdowns to key posts,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: expanding domestic counterintelligence operations, and ramping up production of missiles
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: and drones. The leadership quickly seized the initiative, attacking ships
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: to Titan Iran's grip on home mows and expanded the
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: battlefield to the Red Sea, which Saudi Arabia's used to
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: get around Iran's show hold of the Persian Gulf. So
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: they did exactly what I expected him to do, exactly
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: what anybody who knows anything about the Middle least would
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: expect him to do. And the Trauma administration did nothing. Suddenly,
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: like a few weeks ago, they discovered who were short
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: of missiles, were short on patriots. I you'd think they
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: know that over the last six months, and now frantically
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: the Pentagon is going to defense manufactures and signing big
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: contracts of billions of dollars to quickly ramp up production.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: Where have they been since the beginning of this war?
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: Why the urgency because no strategy, no planning, no thinking,
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: no thinking. I mean, while Iran was figuring out how
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: to better protect itself next round, the United States has
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: been doing nothing. Its ships laying off the coast of Oman,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: you know, low and supplies. The base of the fifth
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: Fleet in Bahrain was to significant damage during the war
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: and it's not really being rebuilt. So the logistics of
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: getting actual supplies to the ships, including aircraft carriers, you know,
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: is really problematic now. In order to relieve the aircraft
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: carrier that is there, the US is pulling the only
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: aircraft carrier in the entire Pacific, Eastern Pacific, from the
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: Eastern Pacific to the Middle East and leaving the Pacific
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: with no aircraft carried because they're so desperate, because they
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: haven't planned, because there's no strategy, because they don't know
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: what the frigging they're doing. I mean, the Trump administration
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: is so incompetent when it comes to Middle East. It
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: is scary that these people still have two more years
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: in office. People say, oh, you know, this is better
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: what Kamala is it? Really? In what way? I mean?
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: Today today marks the former end of the US Ran
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: MoU sixty days, remember and you know this is the
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: day in there Well says, you know, you know reports
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: that Tehran use the two month pause not to de escalate,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: but to rearm. And this is not like people didn't
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: want about this, even people that I don't always agree with,
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: like I don't know Mike Pompeo, Nikki Haley, General Jack Keene,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: and others, me, everybody, they all understood that the regime
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: had no intention of pausing, had no intention for peace,
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: had no intention to negotiate. It was just an opportunity
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: to reload. And Trump missed this because he has no strategy,
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: no thinking, no knowledge, and he surrounded himself by people
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: who just cheer him on, who don't challenge him. We
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: don't ask questions, who just cheer him on. Whatever he wants.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: They can do, No, they can't. I mean, America is
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: significantly weaker today in the Middle East than it was
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: before this war. The war was a disaster. Now let's
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: think Israel Trump now has Trump. We had a deal
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: around Gaza, which Trump revealed last year, and everybody signed
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: off Tramas and you know, dozens of Islami countries signed
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: off on this, and so that Israel and that deal
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: had to do with you know, is Ael staying in
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: parts of Gaza and Tamas being you know, all the
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: weapons being taken, disarming of Ramas, and of course Kamas
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: refused to disarm, and it was going to be an
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: international force that came into the Gaza, and then after
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: they disarmed, there would be an interim government set up
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: of textive crafts, and then there was going to be
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: a rebuilding. Jared Kushner was going to organize all these
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: billions and billions of dollars to rebuild Gaza and to
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: turn it into a resort, right, and none of that
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: is happening. So then last week, late last week, Trump
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: comes out with a new plan, and this prime requires
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: Israel to leave Gaza and then Hamas will disarm, and
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: then they'll be the international peace force, and then they'll
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: be all the rest happens and development and all this stuff.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: And Israel basically came out and said, no, we're not
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: going to leave. There's an agreement. That agreement postulates Kamas
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: disarming first. We are not leaving Gaza until Hamas disarms
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: of not just heavy weapons, light weapons as well, and
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: in the meantime, we will continue to take out Hamas
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: leaders we will continue to take out Hamas operatives threatening
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: our forces. Well, today Jared Kushner, after nathanielse said no,
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: we're not doing that, Jared Kushner flies out and he
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: meets with Kamas, not with the negotiators with Kamas. America
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: has always negotiated through other people and not met directly
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: with Kammas leadership. No, he meant directly with Commas leadership,
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: the President's son in law, the diplomat, the genius is
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: you know, met with the Hamas leadership today, you know,
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: to try to figure out what, you know, what the
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: deal is going to be. Right that a ninety minute
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: meeting which sources described as quote very productive, with the
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: idea that Kamas would take practical stabs to fulfill its commitments. Now,
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: why would Hamas? What is Hamas have to gain? What
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: is it afraid of that America will wipe them out?
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, how many times Trump threatened to wipe out
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: Kamas and Iran? And now, by the way, today he
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: ThReD to wipe out Oman if they interfered with America's
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: attempts to cut a deal with Iran or something like that. Right,
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: so he's threatening to wipe out countries. He never does it.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: The threats are meaningless. The whole idea is to boat
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: a piece of pushing Kamas and Isel to move to
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: the next phase of the US twenty point peace plan
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: from last year. Hamas leaders asked Krishna to tell Trump
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: they remained committed to disarmy. The Sissus said, we thank
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: them for the commitment, but we want to see real
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: efforts and not just words. The Sus added it was
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: important for Krishna to lock them into this commitment in person.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: They think Krishna is a little boy. You think they
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: take Jared Krishna seriously. Chris, thank Kamas leaders. You talk
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: about Hamas leaders, you talk about monstrous terrorists, you talk
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: about people with the with the blood of babies and
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: children and thousands of people Palestinians and Israelis on their hands,
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: and you're sitting down and negotiating with them, and you're
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: thanking them for their corporation and efforts to recover I
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: don't know, bodies of all deceased Israeli hostages. That's what
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: redeems Hamas from their history of what is it now?
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: You know, thirty years a bloodshed, that being redeemed because
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: they helped find a few bodies. Anyway, the Hamas political
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: leader Khalil al high Up attended alongside the Egyptian intelligence
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: chief and the Katari diplomats and Turkish officials, all good
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: friends of Israel. Right, these are the people who should
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: be negotiating on behalf of a deal. I mean, Israel
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: needs to be very clear to tell them to go
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: to hell. Suppose to Krishna's stressed to Haramas leaders that
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: bar is high because the Israelis side doesn't trust them
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: to actually disarm. I'm shocked. Krista told them there's no
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: room for negotiations on disarmament, but if they show real steps,
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: the US will do its best to make sure Israel
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: takes steps of its own. The board also wanted to
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: conduct corresponding steps in Gaza Ramas starts disarming and to
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: accelerate humanitarian relief to the end. Cliff Na, so we
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: will see, we will see what happens. Krishna then flew
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: from his meeting with Ramas to meet with Nitanielle. He
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: met with Natinelle. Supposedly it was a long meeting. It's
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: hard to tell what came of that meeting, and ended
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: just before the show. So I haven't gotten full reports
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: on kind of what supposedly happened in that meeting. But
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: it was a long meeting, you know, suppose it went well.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: They always say the meetings went well. But anyway, during
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: all this, while Jared Kushna is meeting with Antonielle, Trump
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: comes out with the statement, right, Trump comes out there
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: with the statements saying, you know, saying that Israel has
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: to stop striking Gaza, Israel has to stop taking out
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: terrorists in Gzen. So Trump's emphasis is still Israel's too aggressive. So,
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: you know, Trump, thank you a lot of statements today.
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: So the Middle East is a mess, is a mess. Luckily,
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: the Golf States are finding ways to get around the
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: buckade in the Strait of Homos and then delivering oil
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: to the marketplace. This is why prices are kept in
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: check because the Golf States are being very creative and
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: in finding ways around the Uranian blockade. And I hope
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: that continues. All kay, that's the Middle East. But then
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: this morning it was this this morning, you know, late
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: last night last night, Trump put out the following tweet.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm laughing, but this is like so damn sad.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: It's hard to fully articulate. Right, this is Trump's tweet.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: This is not Middle East anymore. But this is generally
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: from policy based on my very good relationship with him
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: Jung On of North Korea, or as he's better known,
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: the ruthless, brutal, murderist dictator of North Korea. That's me.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not happy with the fact that the United States
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: has long ago agreed to participate in joint military exercises
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: with South Korea. These exercises are not only costly, with
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: much of these costs paid for by the United States
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: of America as usual, but send a signal that is
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: totally inappropriate and hostile to a country that, as long
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: as Donald J. Trump has been president, has been unthreatening
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: and respectful. Therefore, and based on the fact that it
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: is too late to cancel, I have instructed Secretary of
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: War Pete Hecksa to substantially reduce the joint military exercises.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: While somewhat unrelated, I recently asked the president of South
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: Korea if they would like to join us in the
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: dean nuclearization of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and they
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: said no, thanks. So he's linking the two Sir, Trump
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: has a very good relationship with one of the most
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: brutal dictators in the world today. I mean, he likes dictators,
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: He's always liked dictators. Indeed, I believe, I think, and
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: I said this, I've said this many times that the
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: way Trump behaved towards King Jaun, the brutal dictator of
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: North Korea in his first term, disqualified him from being
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: president again. Indeed might have been reason for impeachment. The
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: fawning over the love relationship he had with this monster
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: is so disgusting, beneath contempt, beneath contempt. So now Trump
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: is graveling in front of South Korea, in North Korea,
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: North Korea, and in a sense, you know, holding it
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: at arms length, these South Koreas, who are allies, who
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: are allies, the same phenomena in Europe, grovel before putin
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: arms length Europe, you know, invites you know, SHEI to Washington,
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: go to Beijing, even as declaring China is a big problem.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: But have this cozy relationship with the dictator of China.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is an America last Farm policy, if
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: ever there was one America last farm policy, if ever
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: there was one, you know, It's just despeakable. This man
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: is a despicable human being and an incompetent. I mean,
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: one of the main roles of president is faun possible.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: And again I cannot think of a president who is
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: worse than farm policy than Trump. This is Andrew Fox again. Quote.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: He put the quote about about Kim Jung own and
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: he wrote above it, if Trump were foreign plants, was
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: with a mission to make the US poor, weaker and
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: more isolated and do everything in his power to guarantee
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: the next century of Chinese ascendancy whilst maintaining just enough
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: plausible cut cover. What would he be doing differently? Good question.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's appliant. I just think he is incompetent,
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: and I think he admires dictators. And then again from
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: Trump's social media, again his completing competence when he comes
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: to Middle East. This is from yesterday. Very happy to
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: see Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan have recently and finally
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: signed the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement. It shows how the
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: Middle East is coming together and our countries will finally
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: be able to defend themselves in a more meaningful way.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: Congratulations to the Great leadership, the great leadership of the
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: three nations mentioned. This is a big, bold and important
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: first step. Wow, Donald Trump embracing handing over leadership in
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: the Middle East. The Islami is Turkey, nuclear power, nuclear Pakistan,
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: and Saudi Arabia. This is the direction of American fault
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: policy's heading. And none of these countries have even a
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: I mean Saudi Arabia has no relations with Israel. Turkey
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: has had diplomatic relationship with Israel, but is hostile to Israel,
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: actively hostile to Israel. Pakistan actively hostile to Israel. But
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: this is an important move. This is great a joint
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: defense agreement. I wonder who are this joint defensive agreement
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: is really about? Once i Iran, once the Vedian regime collapse,
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: who is this joint defense agreement really about? If not Israel?
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: Supposedly America's ally in the Middle East. Again, I can't
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: think more than twenty four hours ahead, no capacity to strategize.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: This is an unmitigated disaster. This is a sony alliance
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: of Islamist regimes with a nuclear bomb in the hands
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: of Bakistan. This is not positive for anybody in the world.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: It's potentially a disaster potentially lead to Saudi Arabia getting
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: a nuke, and of course Tooki is becoming more Slamist
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: as time goes on. So, yes, this is President Trump,
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: this is who you have running American farm policy, and
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: it's an unmitigated disaster. Let's do a few other news
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: stories and even get to some human achievements stories for
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: the day. We have time to even cover that. Let's see,
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: we want to do something on justice. Yeah, you know.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: So the new Attorney general has been sworn in and
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: he was asked by Fox News about whether he will
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: maintain the independence of the Justice Department. Traditionally, the Justice
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: Department is independent. It is not at It is not
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: just beholden to the president. It is supposed to be
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: you know, independent of the president, willing to challenge the president,
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: and has in its past even Donald Trump. Famously, William Ball,
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: when he was Attorney general, told Donald Trump that the
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty election was not stolen and he would not
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: prosecute anybody for stealing something that wasn't stolen. Something like that. Anyway,
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: this Attorney general was asked about the idea of an
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: independent Justice Department, and Todd Blanche rejected that idea. Will
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: I take the president of the United States viewing something
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: into consideration? Yes, of course, And I hope every attorney
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: general in history would not answer that question differently. That's
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: evading the question. That's evading the question. In the post
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 1: Watergate era, the Justice Department has basically been shielded from
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: the White House's interference, but Blanche has often defended the
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: president's right weigh in on the department. In April, he
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: told reporters the president had a right and a duty
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: tough opinions on criminal prosecutions. The question is what does
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: he do with those opinions. I remember the Blanche is
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: a former criminal defense attorney for Trump. He was Trump's
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: criminal defense attorney. That's all I really have to say. Now,
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: he did say that the proposed anti weaponization fund.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 3: Is going to be.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: Retired, that that that is not going to happen. I
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: guess that's good that public pressure was too much on
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: that one. All right, let's talk about water quickly, and
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: then water and then heat. Water. There's a real water crisis,
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: an actual water crisis, not just one that's pretended. In
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: the southwest of the United States, the Colorado River is
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: it's on its lowest level ever and the population in
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: the southwest of the United States is only growing cities
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: like Las Vegas and Phoenix and the Phoenix, but generally Arizona.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: More and more people are moving in. Population is increasing,
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: water usage is increasing, and yet the water in the
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: Colorado River is declining. It's declining to such an extent
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: that some of the electricity generation from hydro electric is
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: put into question. And there's a Colorado River Compact of
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: nineteen twenty two, which designed to divide the water between
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: the different states. But the reality is that because there's
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: a lack of water right now, there is real disagreement
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: about how the divide it, and the federal government is
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: not going to intervene and try to manage this process
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: and try to figure out how to divide the water
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: of the Colorado River. And the constant the reason for
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: the decline in water is not enough snow falling. I
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: mean weather, weather changes, climate changes, climate does change. There
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: is such a thing as climate change. Climate change is real,
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: and then the question is what to do about it.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: And there's a big story in the Wall Stat Journal
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: about this and about the government's attempt they document the
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: decline in water. Water available water and the consumption of water.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's plenty of water available in what's called
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: the upper basin in the North, but there's just not
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: enough water in the lower basin, given consumption and given
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 1: projections into the future, and you know, there is a
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: lot of competition for this water. There was an interesting
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: a pad in the Washington Post today about this that
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: argued that the solution is to incentivize people to produce
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: more water. What a concept to produce more water? And
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: there's of course a way to do this. You can
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: create new water supplies. You can do this through desalination.
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: You can do this by advance you know, recycling, you
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: can see it, by groundwater recovery, by agricultural conservation. There
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: are a lot of different ways in which you can
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: actually add water to whatever nature is providing. I mean,
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: the whole thing about human beings is we don't just
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: rely on what nature provides. And indeed, the whole Colorado
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: River project, which is a project of artificial lakes and
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: dams and canals and water pipes and all of that
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 1: is man reshaping nation. But then we stopped and now
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: that there's less snow and there's less rain and there's
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: less water. We just shrug. And what the article is
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: arguing is no, we should do what Well, this is
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: me arguing, not really the article. We should do what
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: human beings always do or should do, and that is
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: ijust innovate and figure out how to create what where
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: know what exists today. Now, supposedly the government is moving
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: towards a system where this will this will be incentivized.
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: But they're doing it all wrong. Of course, here's for
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: the article enjured. Major water agencies in the Lower Base
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: and states of Arizona, Nevada, and California, and the United
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: States Bureau of Reclamation and Interior Departments signed a memorandum
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: understanding to explore it sticks full and interstate exchange network
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: that could promote new water creation strategies. These include desalination
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: and advanced recycled water, which could become a regular part
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: of the law Basins of Water management toolkit. Done correctly,
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: the op ed continues, this would not alter the allocation
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: established by the nineteen twenty two Compact. Nobody wants to
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: renegotiate that. Rather, it should create a framework that preserves
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: water in the river by allowing states to supply their
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: water needs through other methods. Most of all, the memorandum
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: matters because it opens the door to building a marketplace.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: For decades, interstate exchanges have allied primarily on accounting mechanisms
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 1: such as its intentionally created supplies plus ICs allows approved
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: water agencies to store conserved water and link meat for
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: future use, and it's an important tool for conservation, But
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 1: it does doesn't encourage water supply creation. The open interstate
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: exchange marketplace established by the memorandum is something different. Memanda
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: only exposes this, it doesn't actually do it. For example,
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: it would allow localities to supply their water through other
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: means such as ocean desalination, to voluntarily exchange their unused
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 1: river water with other states for a price. No states
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: legal allocation would change, and no new water rights would
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: be created. The marketplace would simply reward those who invest
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: in creating water while reducing demand on the rivers. Now,
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 1: I think this is a step in the right direction.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: This might solve the problem in the short run. But
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: why not go all in. Why not take this away
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 1: from state and local water authorities and privatize the whole system,
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: including privatizing the actual water in the river. Why not
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: figure out a way to actually privatize the water in
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 1: the Colorado River and then scrap the pact and let
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: the pricing mechanism work. Let prices determine how water is used. Now,
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: there has to be some way to stop the Northern
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 1: states from using all the water so that no water
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: flows the culls. But again, pricing could probably do that.
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: Southern consumers in the South would pay more for the
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: water than in the North. The North would have an
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: incentive to sell it to the South. Anyway, I'm not
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: sure I have the answer on how you exactly privatize
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 1: the water in the rivers, but this is what economists
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: should really think about it. How do you create a
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: marketplace not of government agencies, which is what the Westing
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: Post is complementing the government for doing, which is again
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: an improvement over the existing system, but privatize it completely.
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: Make water prices that consumers and agriculture paid reflect the
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: true cost of water, which will reduce, for example, the
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: amount of almond farmers in California and increase the use
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: of water by citizens. I mean, there's a real opportunity here.
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: Once we are creating a marketplace, let's really create a marketplace.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: The solution for water is privatization. And again it's not
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: easy to privatize water. You have to really think about
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: how to do it, particularly water in rivers and lakes,
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: but it's doable now. Of course, desalination is the solution,
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: and California should we have desalination plants all along its coast.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: And it's the crazy envimientists who are preventing this from
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: actually happening. Desalination basically provides you with a endless quantity
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: of fresh water it needs It requires electricity, so you
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: need pop plants, more pop plants. To go with that,
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: you need increased power production, so yeah, we need more
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: power pop plants. But the solution all the water problems
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: is desalination. And if you privatize water, maybe it'll turn
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: out that actually taking water from the Colorado River is
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: more expensive given the shortage then actually desalinating water. This
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: is the beauty of a pricing system, you actually priced
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: based on the actual circumstances. The constraint in desalination right
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: now is not energy. The constraint and desalination is the environmentalists.
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: If you add nuclear energy all along the coast of California,
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: still wouldn't have these desalination because they wouldn't allow it.
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: The only county in California that is not restricted in
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: water really is San Diego because they actually have a
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 1: desalination plan. Other counties try to build one and they
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: were stopped by the environmentalist. All right, here's a story
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: about Europe. I'm in Europe right now, but this story
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: about northern Europe. This is from the New York Times.
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: Of all places, here's how it starts. Seniors died in
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: stifling apartments. Emergency calls were left on hold. Doctors treated
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: an onslaught of people sick from heat, sometimes in wards
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: without air conditioning. These are scenes that played out in Belgium,
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: one of the world's wealthiest nations, on a recent summer weekend.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: They are also a warning to Europe. Europe is the
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: fastest warming continent. I don't know if that's true, but okay,
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: yet large parts remain ill prepared as heat waves scorched
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: its nations this summer. They're killing thousands in countries with
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: strong health systems. In just one week in late June,
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: there were on sixteen thousand, sixteen thousand excess deaths, or
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: more people who died than usual in Europe Belgium, France
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: and Germany were the worst affected. I mean, this is
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: just stunning. I continue. Belgium, known for cold and damp
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 1: not seeing heat, had the highest excess deaths in Europe,
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: making it a case study into what went wrong. In Wollonea,
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: a region that makes up the country south, the death
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: rate was seventy seven percent higher than what would be
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: expected between mid June and early July. Remember the excess
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: death statistics of COVID. Some hospitals were overrun with guernseys
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: and patients the hallways and medical staff working without breaks
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: in unrelenting heat. Heat. It's just heat. People live in
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: Las Vegas and in Phoenix, and here I am in
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 1: Barcelona with air conditioning blurring heat, and Belgium can't deal
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 1: with the heat. It's sad. Now, this part of Belgium
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 1: is the poorest and the oldest, but it's it's absurd.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: And what's amazing about this is that the New Times
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: realizes this. It writes, it writes Belgiums do not want,
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: but want to be Americans. With indoor temperature set of
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 1: sixty five degrees, This doctor said, but he saw a
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 1: metal ground in which vulnerable people would have access says, oh,
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: this is from the doctor in Belgium. The mentality on
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: air conditioning has to change. Duh, yeah, the mentality and
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 1: air conditioning needs to change. Air conditioning good, air conditioning good.
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 1: It's hard for them, I know. Others disagree. Even some
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 1: Belgium officials are wary of aligning too much on climate
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 1: control god forbid, concerned that adding it could overwhelm the
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 1: power good and leave cities even hotter by pumping hot
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 1: air into the streets. God as if no other country
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 1: has to face this issue. Oh man, I mean get
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 1: more power natural gas, I hear, is nuclear here is
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 1: good for this? The French have a lot of nuclear qoll.
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 1: Air conditioning could be appropriate in specific situations, particularly for
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 1: vulnerable people certain buildings, set a spokesman for Bolognia's Housing
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 1: and Energy ministry. However, a long term strategy is not
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 1: based on widespread deployment. So the Europeans want to go
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 1: down with the ship, they will refuse a conditioning to
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: the end. They will have their senior citizens dying of heat,
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 1: which is not a pleasant way to die. Would rather
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 1: than install a conditioning and build a few poplands and
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 1: learn to live. This is again the barrier of human
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: beings taking control of their own environment, which dominates our culture.
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 1: Human beings are supposed to change the environment to fit
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: their needs. Change the environment by cooling it, A conditioning.
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: A conditioning is what will save us from climate change.
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 1: If change, you know, if climate change is going to
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: lead to heating, and Europeans are resisting it and they're
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: dying in droves by the thousands, sixteen thousand excess deaths,
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 1: sixteen thousand preventable deaths, just on principle, we do not
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: want air conditioning. Now I'm in Europe, I was in Lisbon,
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 1: I'm now in I'm now in Barcelona. Will be influence
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 1: and doing Airbnb is all the airbnbs that I'm renting
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 1: have AC have air conditioning. It is a requirement when
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: I but not everybody has AC. A lot of people
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 1: live without, a lot of people live without. Just think
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 1: of the added productivity, quality of life, never mind saving
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 1: lives that would happen without it. With air conditioning prevalence
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 1: in Europe. All right, let's let's move to a few
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 1: positive stories. This one is pretty amazing, all right. In
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 1: an area on private land, in an area right next
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 1: to SpaceX base, station in Texas. This is where the
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 1: rockets are launched. Right, but not funded by SpaceX or
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 1: elonn Mosque, a fifty foot sculpture is being built. The
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 1: fifty foot sculpture is a Prometheus. It's a bronze statue
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 1: and it's about the heights of the body of the
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 1: statue of Liberty. It is being built by an independent
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 1: group of French sculptors as a classical monument. A French
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 1: classical foundry called Aalier Missile is independently assembling this fifty
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 1: foot fifteen meters bronze statue of Prometheus. Right, and this
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 1: is right outside the entrance of Starbase, how appropriate. It
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 1: is a private project by the Atalier, which is a
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 1: Paris based workshop focused on monumental classical statutes. They have
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: described it as their own gift tribute symbolizing technological progress,
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 1: defiance of limits and multiplanetary ambition, drawing on the myths
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 1: of Prometheus stealing fire farm humanity. Who knew that there
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 1: were such people in France.
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 4: Who admired technological progress, defiance of limits and multiplanetary ambition,
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 4: And not only were there such people in France, but
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 4: that they were good sculptors and had a foundry and
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 4: they could be monuments to such a thing.
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is the most inspiring story I have
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 1: heard in a long long time. Now, the sections were
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 1: cast in Paris, they be shipped to Texas and cruising
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 1: out actively assembling it on site. Photos and videos from
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 1: the sculptors and eyewitnesses show scaffolding the head and partial
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 1: structure near Star Base. Now, I hope it's good. I'm
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 1: encouraged by the fact that these are classic Y trained sculptors.
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 1: From the pictures I've seen, it's definitely, you know, realistic,
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 1: it's definitely figurative realistic. How good it is? I guess
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 1: we won't know until it's finished and you know, the
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 1: patina's finished and everything's done and we can actually see it.
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 1: But it's fifty feet it's fifty feet tall. How cool
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 1: is that? I'll tell you. Missol has posted they will
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 1: stand fifty feet tall in a few days holding a torch.
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 1: They're calling it the Torch of the West. Costs estimates
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 1: for this Bronz version have been around one million dollars.
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 1: Larger titanium versions are part of their broader long term vision.
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 1: It is a bit taller than the after statue at
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 1: Rockefeller Center. I mean, this is, you know, really pretty monumental. Now,
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 1: the vision was announced in May five to build a
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 1: colossal titanium Prometheus. He will be envisions as roughly twenty
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 1: to thirty meters about sixty five to one hundred feet
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 1: and double the size of this one as a monumental
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 1: gift attribute near the site launch. It would be ultimately
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 1: about the size of the Statue of Liberty. Titanium was
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 1: chosen for its strength to weight ratio, coersion, resistance, modernity
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 1: evoking aerospace and the jet age, and durability against both
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 1: weather and the potential. You know, people who try to
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 1: remember the Prometheus, the fire Bringer, stole fire from the
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 1: gods and gave it to humanity, symbolizing rebellion against limits
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 1: technological progress. I mean this is The foundry, by the way,
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 1: has framed it as part of a broader project to
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 1: revive Greco Roman monumental sculpture across the West, countering what
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 1: they see as civilizational void in heroic public arts. So
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 1: two thumbs up to this foundry and what they are
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 1: trying to achieve and what they want to do. This
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 1: is super cool and I think super important and completely
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 1: privately funded. It reminds me of the fact that the
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 1: Statue of Liberty was privately funded, was a gift from France,
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 1: and was assembled in New York with private funding, no
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 1: government funding, and was assembled very very quickly as compared
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 1: to example, actually the monument that took decades to build
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 1: because government. So anyway, this is exciting. You can check
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 1: out photos and video videos online. You know, a revival
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 1: of figurative sculpture would be amazing, A revival of classical
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 1: heroism would be amazing. By the way, guess who's pissed off?
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 1: And by the way, I think putting it at at
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 1: the entrance of Starbase celebrating SpaceX is fantastic. It's just magnificent.
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 1: It's just so cool and awesome. Guess who's pissed off?
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 1: The religious writing is pissed off. This is blaze media,
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 1: Blaze media. You know, this is I think what's his
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 1: name is h I don't know about Elizabeth, the one
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 1: on JD Van's upset JD Vans shoes upset. This is
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 1: blaze right, blaze media. This is the headlight. A huge
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 1: piggot statute just went up in Texas. Is this the
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 1: Western civilization. We should be cheering. This is going back now.
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 1: I don't have access to the entire article. I wish
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 1: I did because it's a whop up, but you know,
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 1: so they write a fifty foot bronze statue of pagan god.
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: Pagan god Prometheus is rising out of the Texas Good
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 1: near SpaceX's Star Base, holding a torch over the launch
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 1: site that is supposed to carry mankind towards the stars.
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 1: The symbolism is not exactly subtle. Prometheus, the Greek titan
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 1: who stole fire from the gods and gave it to humanity,
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 1: has long represented man's acquisition of knowledge and technological power.
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 1: The French classical Foundrymisoul, which is behind the project, says
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 1: the complex the complete sculpture will stand at star Base,
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 1: holding high the torch of the West. The statue is
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 1: apparently not a SpaceX commission or some monument Elon Musk
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: ordered for himself. Alimissou reportedly financed the project itself and
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 1: his assembling it on private land near Star Base as
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 1: a tribute to technological progress. It is tempting to love
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 1: the whole thing after decades of public art that seems
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 1: deliberately designed to be ugly, alienating, or incomprehensible. Here are
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 1: artists building an enormous, muscular figure from classical mythology. I
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 1: tell the missile is openly hostile to the a bannonment
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 1: of monumental Western art and its founders of sculptured hercules,
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 1: Joan of Arc and Napoleon. I'm not sure a by Napoleon,
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 1: all talking without embarrassment about beauty, heroism, civilization, and great men. Yeah.
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 1: Its website declares that quote gigantic titanium statues will guide
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 1: us to a beautiful future. Well that I Tella describes
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 1: itself as a classical foundry quote on its way to
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 1: building a new Rome, not toure. What we want is Rome,
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 1: but anyway good. I would rather live in a civilization
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 1: to build rockets and enormous bonze statues, that one that
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 1: tears its statues down on lectures that show about the
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 1: shamefulness of their inheritance. I'll tell the Ambisovice revolt against
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 1: the liberty on the public. God is refreshing, and SpaceX
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 1: is doing things that would have sounded like science fiction,
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 1: not letting loango. And this is unfortunately it's going to
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 1: get cut off after this next sentence, and I'm not
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 1: going to pay the Blaze to read the rest of it.
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 1: But if Prometheus is going to hold the torch of
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 1: the West, we ought to ask whether he is carrying
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 1: the right torch. He represents an important strand of Western civilization,
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 1: perhaps one of the dominant strands of modern West, but
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 1: he does not represent the whole thing. So they wanted
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 1: to hold a torch and a cross. Pretty lame, Pretty lame.
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 1: But yes, suppose there are discussion groups in Texas among
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 1: the evangelicals about whether they like this. They don't. They
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 1: think it's a religious they think it celebrates Roman Greece
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 1: when it should be celebrating Christ.
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 3: And they're very, very very upset. So religious right doesn't
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 3: like it. Isn't that a surprise?
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 1: All right? Yeah, if somebody has access to the entire article,
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 1: I would love to be able to read the entire thing.
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 1: It would be really cool. So if somebody is a
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 1: subscriber to The Ways and you can, you know, I
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's violating the copyright or something, If
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 1: you can get me a copy of that article, I
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 1: would really appreciate it would be cool. And I promised
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 1: to read it to use it maybe in my book
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 1: about Christianity. All right, a couple of quick stories SpaceX.
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 1: Talk about SpaceX, as just said a record they launched
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 1: two Falcon nine rockets in just thirty eight minutes apart
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 1: from two different sites across the country on two different coasts.
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 1: So you know, it's pretty amazing. It's launching far more
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 1: frequent than any other outfit. It operates the largest satellite
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 1: constellation I've assembled. SpaceX is killing it and they deserve
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 1: the Prometheus sculpture out there. It's pretty amazing, all right.
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 1: And one last final story AI is AI is just
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 1: being shown to be really good at addicting the intensity
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 1: and the path of cyclones of hurricanes. You know, Google's
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 1: deep Mind Weather Next Cyclones produced fifteen day assembled forecasts
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 1: and comparing these they tested it on back data from
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 1: the twenty three to twenty twenty three to twenty twenty
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 1: five storm seasons. They average it's at least twenty four
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 1: hours more useful lead time for track intensity and wind
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 1: extent then leading operational models do today. So AI improving
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 1: our ability to focus dramatic weather. That's a win for everybody,
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 1: and another example of the potential amazing benefits that we
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 1: could all get from AI. All right, let's turn to
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 1: our super chats, and you guys have done really well
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 1: well into the we're going to go into the third hour. Well,
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 1: we're reaching the third hour in it, and you guys
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 1: are well on the way to achieving the goal of
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 1: the third hour. It'd be great if we actually attained it.
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 1: We're only one hundred and ten dollars short of the
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 1: third hour goal of seven hundred and fifty dollars, so
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 1: that'd be great if we could make it. Let me
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 1: remind you of a few things. Austin conference that the
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 1: Iran Institute is hosting. If you're under thirty or thirty
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 1: five or hundred, you can still apply for scholarship. I
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 1: think for a few more days, maybe until tomorrow some reason.
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 1: I remember the eighteenth check out. Unfortunately it's not on
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 1: my site, so check out. Just put in Google Austin

• 1:59:04
  Speaker 1: with Leadership program of the Rockies. I'm going to try
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 1: to get Michael on the show this week. We'll see
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 1: to talk a little bit about Leadership Program of the Rockies.
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 1: It's a great program. You can do Leadership program dot

• 1:59:30
  Speaker 1: one day a month, second Friday of every month from
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 1: October through June. And amazing content, really really good content.
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 1: Like as a as a follow of this show. Some
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 1: of the contents you won't like, but you will learn
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 1: a lot and it'd be great to have you there
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 1: to challenge people on the content you don't like. So
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 1: you know, it's a mixture of kind of standard Republican
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 1: conservative talking points and objectivism and a mixture of it.
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 1: So but the more objectives will get into the program,
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 1: the more that point of view will come through. So
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 1: please consider applying leadership Oh and it costs money and
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 1: they don't accept everybody applies, So it's competitive. Leadership program

• 2:00:32
  Speaker 1: now on data centers and but before on energy and
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 1: electricity and the grid and UH and environmental regulation. UH.
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 1: You got to follow Alex. Alex is one of the
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 1: great resources in the world. Out there he is. You
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 1: can find him at Alex Epstein dot substact dot com,

• 2:01:00
  Speaker 1: If you're facing an event where you're going to a
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 1: crew massive capital gains taxes, as some of you might
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 1: hold I don't know, SpaceX stock or in the future
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 1: and toropic stock or opening eyestock, you should consider contacting
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 1: Henderson Wealth for some of their strategies around deferring or
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 1: really eliminating to some extent or certainly deferring your capital
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 1: gains taxes into the indefinite future. Put it that way,
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 1: all right. Finally, this show is funded through contributions by you.
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 1: Couldn't do it without you. You are funding my time,
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 1: the effort I put into this, my time in presenting,
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 1: but also my time doing all the research. It takes
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 1: a long time to put together a new show like this.
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 1: I spent most of the day doing it, even though
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 1: I have AI now helping me. It's still you know,
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 1: I still have to verify what AI says. You can't
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 1: trust that thing and it doesn't always find the best stories.
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 1: But anyway, you guys fund this and make it possible,
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 1: so thank you. We have goals for each one of
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 1: these shows that those of you who are on live
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 1: you know, make possible. So two hundred and fifty dollars
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 1: for each hour that I present, and this time we're
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 1: going to go for the three hours, so the goal
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 1: is seven hundred and fifty dollars, so hopefully we can
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 1: make it well one hundred and eight dollars short, but
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 1: we've got a whole hour to make it up, so
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be a problem. But you can become a monthly supporter,
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 1: and that is great because then it's predictable, it's noble,
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 1: I know exactly what's coming, and that really lays the
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 1: foundation for the Iron Book Show. So please consider becoming
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 1: a monthly support on Patreon or on paypalt And you know,
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 1: I'll just say that the monthly support is incredibly valuable
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 1: and those of you can afford to do it. If
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 1: you can do one hundred dollars or to fifty or
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 1: five hundred. That will be you trading with me value
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 1: for value. You listen to the show, you gain value
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 1: from the show. The value I need from you, The
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 1: value I need from you is your monthly support. That
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 1: is the value that I you know, I that is
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 1: really valuable to me. So think about becoming a subscriber
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 1: on PayPal, on Patreon, patreon dot com, and just put
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 1: you on book show on I know a lot of
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 1: you listen to the show, but don't subscribe, don't participate
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 1: in the superchato, or don't do the Patreon thing. You
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 1: really should, you really should. Again, You're gaining a value.
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 1: Pay for it. All right, let's turn to superchatter. Is
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 1: we got a number of fifty. Let's say if we've
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 1: got any hundreds, you know a bunch of fifties. Ol, right,
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 1: so we'll go down the fifties. We'll start with the
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 1: fifties and then go to the twenties and then do
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 1: the ten and the five. All right, Papa Campbell. Part
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 1: one is the reason a serial killer who murdered dozens
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 1: is viewed as a monster, while the communist dictator who
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 1: slaughtered millions is viewed as having meant well, but didn't
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 1: work out in practice, and he continues into part two.
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 1: Because the serial killers viewed as having a selfish interest
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 1: in doing what he did, He did it for his
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 1: own selfish gratification, while the communist authoritarian was by an
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 1: altruistic greater good. Yes, absolutely so. The communist or the
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 1: fascist or whoever it is, they were doing it for
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 1: political reasons. They were doing it to make their country better.
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 1: They were doing it for you know, to to you know,
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 1: sacrifices needed to achieve goals. They were doing it for it.
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 1: It might have been a myths, it might have been
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 1: a bad goal in the end, right, So the egalitarian
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 1: of the Soviet Union was not really achievable. So sad that,
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 1: you know, forty million people had died for it, or
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 1: Mao's China couldn't really achieve the galitarians they saw. But
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 1: the goal was a good goal. You have to respect
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 1: the goal, whereas a serial killer has no goal other
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 1: than his own gratification, which is not really gratifying, but
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 1: it's ugly and disgusting. But it's perceived by the cultures
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 1: being selfish and in a sense the assets of selfishness,
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 1: because in the end they think that all selfish behavior
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 1: is destructive behavior. It's the behavior equivalent to the serial killer.
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I think it's absolutely the case. It's you know,
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 1: political aims. You know, Napoleon is considered noble because he
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 1: wanted to bring I don't know something to Europe and
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 1: to hell with all the soldiers who died in his
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 1: wars of expansion. You know, he is a hero because
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 1: he had a bigger than himself and bigger than the
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 1: people around your goal. You know, it's something great, greater
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 1: than yourself. If you kill a lot of people in
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 1: the name of God, that's okay. If you kill them
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 1: in your name, that's not okay. Now, no killing is okay.
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 1: They should be treated the same. These are monsters, all right.
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 1: Let's see, Michael. Leftists have said these fifteen minutes fifteen
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 1: dollars minimum wage laws and being in place in every
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 1: major American city for a decade now, and they have
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 1: not been seen a collapse or massive wise in low
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 1: skilled unemployment. The GP and free marketers were just fearmongering. Yeah,
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, they'll continue to say that. And look, the
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 1: reality is that when they raised the minimum wage in
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 1: these cities to fifteen dollars, the wages those working got it.
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 1: The wages the workers were making at the time were
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 1: not that lower than fifteen dollars. That is, even though
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 1: the minimum wage is seven point twenty five at the
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 1: federal level. Very very very very very few companies pay
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 1: anybody seven point twenty five dollars an hour. They pay
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 1: them more than that. So when they raised to fifteen,
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 1: they weren't raising it from seven point twenty five. They
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 1: were raising for some higher amount, and that raise wasn't
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 1: large enough to create massive problems that are easily observable. However,
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 1: in places like Seattle that have run these programs for
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 1: a while now, where people have actually dug into the
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 1: data and looked carefully, absolutely, you see an effect. You
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 1: see businesses moving outside of Seattle to avoid the minimum
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 1: wage that they imposed. You see jobs moving out of Seattle.
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 1: You see because companies can't afford to pay them. So
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 1: businesses are moving out, jobs are moving out. What else
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 1: was there? Some of the findings, companies that stay in
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 1: Seattle employ fewer people, so the people they don't employ
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 1: where they they're outside of Seattle still making their wages
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 1: that they were making before. So of course it causes
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 1: real dislocations. The smaller the actual increases, the smaller dislocation.
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 1: But even the smallest, even the smallest increase causes dislocation.
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 1: The question is can you measure them, how do you
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 1: observe them, how do you find them? And are you
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 1: willing to do the careful analysis to figure out what
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 1: they really are because these economic studies are not easy
• 2:08:53
  Speaker 1: to pull off. But the leftists are just playing absolutely wrong.
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 1: And of course what they don't have, well we don't
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 1: have is the parallel universe in which these man of
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 1: Muays laws have never passed. And the more jobs and
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 1: the more companies, and the more stuff going on, and
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 1: there's greater prosperity. So they're just playing wrong, and they're deceiving,
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 1: and they're not being truthful in telling you what actually
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 1: is going on. Andrew I'll never forget fans saying on
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 1: a podcast about Israel's military actions posts October seventh that
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 1: he doesn't believe Israel killing everybody is the right answer
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 1: to every dispute. Yeah, he said that recently, revealing of
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 1: his morality and swammy willingness to evade and bull faced lie. Yes,
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 1: So he says something like the solution can be killing everybody,
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 1: as if anybody in Israel, maybe with the exception of
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 1: some crazy right wing fanatics, is arguing to kill everybody,
• 2:09:57
  Speaker 1: is if that is what Israel has been doing, and
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 1: that's what is what wants to do. It's just evasive
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 1: and a way to justify the anti Israel, anti Semitic
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 1: attitudes of their of their of the crazy rights which
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 1: he is part of today and he is an apologist for,
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 1: and statements like that just reinforce that anti jew an
• 2:10:22
  Speaker 1: anti Israel attitude. Selfie subscriber, Would it be valid comparison
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 1: to suggest presidents being afforded legal protection accountability while in
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 1: office is similar to businesses being afforded protection for market
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 1: accountability because they're deemed too big to fail. I mean
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 1: not exactly again, because this is the difference between political
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 1: power and economic power. Presidents should have some immunity, some
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 1: protection while in office. They care me thinking about we're
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 1: going to go to a war. Oh yeah, but all
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 1: those servicemen are going to assume me. Their families will
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 1: assume me if they get killed or they get injured,
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 1: and you know, there's no standard for suits like that. Now,
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 1: if he does something criminal, then he should be liable,
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 1: but it has to be criminal. They can't be negligence
• 2:11:29
  Speaker 1: when it comes to it, can't be regular market like
• 2:11:32
  Speaker 1: lawsuits when it comes to the president, because of the
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 1: need to wield force and the nature force, which is
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 1: very different than the nature of the nature of business
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 1: transaction is voluntary exchange and as such the parties, you know,
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 1: have to there's a certain protection being wielded given that
• 2:11:57
  Speaker 1: voluntary nature of it. You can't completely deceive meat and
• 2:12:03
  Speaker 1: you can't be egregiously what do you call negligent? Although
• 2:12:09
  Speaker 1: I think again liability law is completely off that somebody
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 1: has to do the work to redo liability law in America.
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 1: Liability law is ridiculous anyway. Somebody has to really do
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 1: the thinking about what about the presidency needs to be
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 1: legally protected. Look, the way to legally protect ultimately from
• 2:12:33
  Speaker 1: bad decision making is the impeachment, which I wish they
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 1: would use more often. It's not the legal system. It's
• 2:12:42
  Speaker 1: not everybody's allowed to sue the president. That can't be
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 1: the right answer. And for example, the marketplace is competition,
• 2:12:50
  Speaker 1: there's no competition in government. I mean, all of these
• 2:12:52
  Speaker 1: things need to be taken into account and considered when
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 1: thinking about how you deal with presidential decision making versus
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 1: the marketplace decision making, and legal liability in that sense,
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 1: the voluntarily relationships, the fact that there's no competition, all
• 2:13:15
  Speaker 1: all of that plays alone SELFE subscribe and does Trump
• 2:13:18
  Speaker 1: intend to monetize sell early access to his market? Impacting
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 1: decisions provide us context when considering the possibility of Trump's
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 1: theft of classified information in Malago was a trial balloon
• 2:13:34
  Speaker 1: for selling information. Maybe, I don't think so. I don't
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 1: think he thought that far ahead. I think again, I
• 2:13:45
  Speaker 1: think he's responsive. He's not a planner, he's not a strategist.
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 1: So I don't think he does trial balloons. I think
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 1: what he noticed is, oh, I post stuff on social
• 2:13:56
  Speaker 1: and the market response hmm. We can make money doing that.
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 1: That's how we think it happens. I don't think it's
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 1: I think the stealiingum class got the information from the
• 2:14:11
  Speaker 1: Malologo was much more about prestige. He wanted to be
• 2:14:15
  Speaker 1: able to show his guests how important he was, how
• 2:14:18
  Speaker 1: big shot he was. Ooh, look at the documents. I
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 1: have much more than he was going to sell this stuff.
• 2:14:25
  Speaker 1: I just I don't think that's what happened. I don't
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 1: think there's any evidence to suggest that that's what happened,
• 2:14:30
  Speaker 1: And I don't think he learned from that. I think
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 1: he learned by posting and seeing the market response, particularly
• 2:14:38
  Speaker 1: around tariffs and around the wall, and saying or one
• 2:14:41
  Speaker 1: of his people saying, hey, is there a way we
• 2:14:43
  Speaker 1: can make money off of this? Let's sell this information?
• 2:14:48
  Speaker 1: Since reactive in that sense, all right, let me think
• 2:14:55
  Speaker 1: stick of people. We are twenty eight dollars short of
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 1: our goal, only twenty could we could make this up
• 2:15:01
  Speaker 1: with some small stickers? Fend Happer, Thank you for the sticker.
• 2:15:05
  Speaker 1: Uh the whoops, let's skip the head in a way
• 2:15:09
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to, So we had friend hopper. We
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 1: who else do we have? We don't have a lot
• 2:15:15
  Speaker 1: of stickers today. We have a lot of questions, not
• 2:15:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of stickers. Uh Tom tom dum dum dum dumb.
• 2:15:23
  Speaker 1: Oh selfish subscriber. Fifty dollars sticker in addition to the question,
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 1: in addition to two fifty dollars questions. Thank you, that's
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 1: that's very generous. Really appreciate it. Alan, thank you for
• 2:15:34
  Speaker 1: the sticker, Mary Aleen, thank you for the sticker. Roland
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 1: and Steven Harper and Jack and Gail. Thank you guys,
• 2:15:47
  Speaker 1: and I think I got all of you. And again,
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 1: twenty eight dollars. We could do a bunch of two
• 2:15:54
  Speaker 1: dollars stickers. Fourteen people, two dollars stickers. We can make
• 2:15:57
  Speaker 1: it up. We can make that goal. All right, Let's
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 1: move to the twenty dollars questions. Michael was Hitler in
• 2:16:06
  Speaker 1: the Christian conservative tradition or was he an Eastern mystic?
• 2:16:10
  Speaker 1: Now there's no reason to associate him with Eastern mysticism.
• 2:16:14
  Speaker 1: I think Hitler comes from a free Enlightenment European tradition
• 2:16:20
  Speaker 1: of militant militancy, of violent conquest that both goes back
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 1: to old German you know, German tribes and to yeah, Christianity,
• 2:16:40
  Speaker 1: but the German tribes are Christian. You know, the German
• 2:16:42
  Speaker 1: tribes at sacked Rome were Christian, and then German tribes
• 2:16:48
  Speaker 1: conkered Iberian Peninsula, and then German tribes crossed across the
• 2:16:52
  Speaker 1: Straits of Gibraltar and actually conquered North Africa, and they
• 2:16:57
  Speaker 1: were are Christians. So conquests in Christianity go hand in
• 2:17:02
  Speaker 1: hand than not sep and of course anty Semitism. Christianity
• 2:17:06
  Speaker 1: go to hand in hand. He was much more, you know,
• 2:17:13
  Speaker 1: I think influenced by Christianity. He was by Eastern mysticism,
• 2:17:17
  Speaker 1: of course, a Christianity of conquest, which is not kind
• 2:17:21
  Speaker 1: of monic Christianity, a pre Enlightenment Christianity, a pre Enlightenment Christianity.
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 1: All right, one second, right, Liam says, can you do
• 2:18:05
  Speaker 1: a show on where objectivism is having an influence in
• 2:18:08
  Speaker 1: the culture today, like Blake Shoals and Boom, where you
• 2:18:14
  Speaker 1: see it popping up in different parts of the culture
• 2:18:17
  Speaker 1: at large and on individual CEOs. I mean, I don't
• 2:18:22
  Speaker 1: know that I know much of that. I mean I
• 2:18:25
  Speaker 1: can talk about it a little bit. I don't know
• 2:18:27
  Speaker 1: if a whole show is justified, but we can definitely,
• 2:18:31
  Speaker 1: we can definitely do something about that. You know, it's
• 2:18:38
  Speaker 1: popped up in the past more than it is right
• 2:18:40
  Speaker 1: now because right now other things are dominating kind of
• 2:18:45
  Speaker 1: the culture, whether it's religion and postliberalism and on the
• 2:18:53
  Speaker 1: right a mega and then woke on the left or
• 2:18:58
  Speaker 1: the crazy left. So I don't know, We've got Blake
• 2:19:03
  Speaker 1: Shoals again. As I've told you, almost every CEO in
• 2:19:07
  Speaker 1: the valley has read out of the Shrug and inspired
• 2:19:10
  Speaker 1: by CEOs from three generations ago all the way to
• 2:19:13
  Speaker 1: CEOs today. But I don't know if that's enough. I've
• 2:19:19
  Speaker 1: said that so many times in the past. I'm thinking
• 2:19:21
  Speaker 1: of new things that I could say, and I don't
• 2:19:23
  Speaker 1: know that that that many new things that I haven't
• 2:19:27
  Speaker 1: already said in the past. But let me think about
• 2:19:30
  Speaker 1: it and see if there's enough content there to cover it.
• 2:19:37
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Liam Clark. Part one. Donald Trump swept into
• 2:19:42
  Speaker 1: office in twenty twenty four with an air of invisibility
• 2:19:45
  Speaker 1: that he did not earn and you would not last.
• 2:19:51
  Speaker 1: But so long as it did, he would use it
• 2:19:53
  Speaker 1: to intimidate his opponents and wreck havoc in the federal government,
• 2:19:58
  Speaker 1: encouraging a culture of cool that continues to persist despite
• 2:20:02
  Speaker 1: his fading appearance of invincibility, undermined by his owning competence,
• 2:20:10
  Speaker 1: including his willingness to betray even the most loyal MAGA supporters. Unfortunately,
• 2:20:15
  Speaker 1: that culture of cruelty may turn out to be the
• 2:20:17
  Speaker 1: most persistent attribute of his legacy. I think that's right.
• 2:20:23
  Speaker 1: Plus American weakness and competence I think are going to
• 2:20:27
  Speaker 1: add up to his legacy. But yes, I think that's right.
• 2:20:32
  Speaker 1: He's running out of Steam to some extent. But look,
• 2:20:34
  Speaker 1: I'll give you an for example Ice. I keep reading
• 2:20:37
  Speaker 1: stories about ICE, and I'll share some of them in
• 2:20:40
  Speaker 1: a future show. Things are really really bad with ICE.
• 2:20:45
  Speaker 1: It's doing horrible things. It's got a quota now of
• 2:20:49
  Speaker 1: two thousand people a day, and to meet that quota,
• 2:20:53
  Speaker 1: it is going after people who are arguably legally here
• 2:21:00
  Speaker 1: waiting for their green COLLD to arrive, married to US citizens,
• 2:21:07
  Speaker 1: married to US military personnel, or you know, people who
• 2:21:12
  Speaker 1: are in the process of legalizing their status but haven't
• 2:21:15
  Speaker 1: quite gotten it, and they're being detained. They're being sent
• 2:21:19
  Speaker 1: to that far reaches of the world, to horrible countries.
• 2:21:23
  Speaker 1: They're being put in maximum security prisons. The brutality of
• 2:21:27
  Speaker 1: what ICE is doing is I truly think unimaginable, incomprehensible
• 2:21:34
  Speaker 1: to most decent people. There's just no excuse for this stuff,
• 2:21:39
  Speaker 1: and it's disappeared from the headlines. It's just not become background.
• 2:21:44
  Speaker 1: It makes a story here and there in the press,
• 2:21:46
  Speaker 1: but nobody gets excited about it. There was a period
• 2:21:48
  Speaker 1: when it was in Minnesota because it was in people's faces,
• 2:21:52
  Speaker 1: but they've learned how to do it without being in
• 2:21:53
  Speaker 1: people's faces. Too much, and nobody's overly excited by it,
• 2:21:57
  Speaker 1: and nobody's making it a big issue. All the left
• 2:22:00
  Speaker 1: can do is say abolish ice and open the borders,
• 2:22:02
  Speaker 1: and that sounds cooky, so nobody takes it seriously instead
• 2:22:08
  Speaker 1: of talking about reading it in or shrinking it or
• 2:22:13
  Speaker 1: closing the border while doing away with ice. So I
• 2:22:15
  Speaker 1: don't know something like that that would be more acceptable
• 2:22:18
  Speaker 1: to American people. It's just disappeared as a real agenda
• 2:22:22
  Speaker 1: writor And the consequence of that is the cruelty is
• 2:22:27
  Speaker 1: embedded in the institution. The institution is not budgeing. And yes,
• 2:22:33
  Speaker 1: that will be the lasting legacy. And then everything I
• 2:22:36
  Speaker 1: said about sucking up the dictators and incompetence and turning
• 2:22:41
  Speaker 1: up back to allies Israel, Europe, South Korea, Taiwan, it's
• 2:22:48
  Speaker 1: just ah right, And I'm not sure we can never
• 2:22:53
  Speaker 1: recover from that. I think that's part of the legacy.
• 2:22:56
  Speaker 1: But yes, I think you're absolutely right, club right, not
• 2:22:59
  Speaker 1: you age algorithm, A French professor described America as a
• 2:23:02
  Speaker 1: nation of show offs. There's a boast for culture, represent
• 2:23:07
  Speaker 1: a healthy pride and achievement or kind of superficial, shallow narcissism. Well,
• 2:23:12
  Speaker 1: I mean it depends. You probably know people whose boastfulness
• 2:23:17
  Speaker 1: is shallow narcissism, and you know others who where it's
• 2:23:21
  Speaker 1: a healthy pride. Now it depends how it's done. Partially,
• 2:23:25
  Speaker 1: I think you can always identify the boast for the
• 2:23:28
  Speaker 1: narcissism by the type, by the way they boast. But
• 2:23:33
  Speaker 1: I think American culture has both, and it's tilting more
• 2:23:37
  Speaker 1: towards the narcissism and less towards the healthy pride, because
• 2:23:42
  Speaker 1: pride is suspect and there's less and less to be
• 2:23:47
  Speaker 1: pride out of this country has become less and less
• 2:23:52
  Speaker 1: of a culture of achievement and more and more of
• 2:23:57
  Speaker 1: a culture of narcissism. So I think it's both. So
• 2:24:02
  Speaker 1: the French professor is right about certain Americans. All right,
• 2:24:08
  Speaker 1: some stickers, by the way, we made the goal, So
• 2:24:10
  Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, thank you for all the people
• 2:24:12
  Speaker 1: who made it possible for us to eat the second
• 2:24:14
  Speaker 1: ol goal. If we go into the fourth hour, I
• 2:24:16
  Speaker 1: might add on to the goal John, thank you, Richard,
• 2:24:21
  Speaker 1: thank you. These are stickers, Bonnie, thanked you that really
• 2:24:25
  Speaker 1: helped us reach the goal. Author Mao Stalin Hitler Tojo
• 2:24:33
  Speaker 1: all disappeared the Enlightenment, with all its flaws and incompetence,
• 2:24:39
  Speaker 1: in completeness, is so much stronger than these anti human
• 2:24:43
  Speaker 1: ideal ideologies. Yes, it is, because it's much closer to truth.
• 2:24:48
  Speaker 1: Truth has power, Truth is power. The question is can
• 2:24:56
  Speaker 1: we prevent those people coming back? Can we prevent new
• 2:25:02
  Speaker 1: mause Stalins Hitler's from coming back from re emerging. That's
• 2:25:07
  Speaker 1: the challenge of the next you know, a few hundred years,
• 2:25:11
  Speaker 1: and can we boasted in like, can we prevent it
• 2:25:15
  Speaker 1: from having a dark ages, like like Grease had and
• 2:25:20
  Speaker 1: like the West had? And I think we can. I
• 2:25:25
  Speaker 1: think we can save it. But it's that's a struggle
• 2:25:29
  Speaker 1: we face. But you're absolutely right. Evil is impotent. Evil
• 2:25:33
  Speaker 1: is impotent, and this is what we need to recognize.
• 2:25:37
  Speaker 1: And this is why we should never sanction evil, should
• 2:25:40
  Speaker 1: never give it a stage. We should never promote it.
• 2:25:44
  Speaker 1: We should condemn it constantly, relentlessly and shun it, cancel it.
• 2:25:51
  Speaker 1: I'm allful canceling. We should cancel evil. Evil of the left,
• 2:25:56
  Speaker 1: evil of the right, Evil per se shouldn't be canceled.
• 2:26:01
  Speaker 1: And that includes evil ideologies. There's no point really in
• 2:26:05
  Speaker 1: debating communism. There's no point really in debating Nazism. They're
• 2:26:13
  Speaker 1: so overwhelmingly and equivocally obviously evil. What's the point if
• 2:26:20
  Speaker 1: somebody doesn't see it, what are you gonna show them?
• 2:26:25
  Speaker 1: All Right, Andrew has a full part question, So let's
• 2:26:29
  Speaker 1: go through this promise. I'm now done watching clips of
• 2:26:34
  Speaker 1: Canvas's show Good Curiosity satisfied. I know you don't like
• 2:26:41
  Speaker 1: Melo drama, but her warn Erica Koch is more like
• 2:26:44
  Speaker 1: a Shakespearean drama. She accuses Erica of complicity, equivocating on
• 2:26:52
  Speaker 1: if the murder itself or cover up. She regularly calls
• 2:26:57
  Speaker 1: Erica a psychopath whose marriage was a sham to get
• 2:27:01
  Speaker 1: fortune and fame, now a grulish grift of murderer propheteer.
• 2:27:07
  Speaker 1: In a chilling clip, Candace assures that she wishes Erica
• 2:27:16
  Speaker 1: no harm, as death is easy. She deserves a long
• 2:27:21
  Speaker 1: life in agony for her sins. I have no opinion
• 2:27:25
  Speaker 1: on Erica, but Candace's certainty and hate is not wanted
• 2:27:31
  Speaker 1: by the fact sighted such relentless attacks regularly segments on
• 2:27:39
  Speaker 1: a top podcast. Erica is a recently widowed mother. If
• 2:27:45
  Speaker 1: mainly conspiracy bs, it is outside violence. One of the
• 2:27:51
  Speaker 1: coolest acts of public mistreatment of her person I've ever observed. Yeah, look,
• 2:27:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know Erica. I don't know Erica, and but
• 2:28:05
  Speaker 1: what Cannice is doing is completely arbitrary presenting with assurance
• 2:28:13
  Speaker 1: and certainly completely arbitrary claims that cannot be argued against
• 2:28:18
  Speaker 1: because there's no there there, there's nothing to argue. There's
• 2:28:21
  Speaker 1: no facts, and any fact that you present is going
• 2:28:26
  Speaker 1: to be poo pooed away by some counter arbitrary assertion. Look,
• 2:28:36
  Speaker 1: I knew Charlie Cooke. I didn't know Erica, and Charlie
• 2:28:41
  Speaker 1: at least when he was younger. It was like, you know,
• 2:28:45
  Speaker 1: it's a decent guy and intelligent. The idea that his
• 2:28:50
  Speaker 1: wife is the scheming, crazy, homicidal is in my I
• 2:29:00
  Speaker 1: you ludicrous And there's just no zero evidence is suggest
• 2:29:04
  Speaker 1: it's true, and if there is, then it needs to
• 2:29:13
  Speaker 1: be presented and there isn't. And the fact that people
• 2:29:18
  Speaker 1: are listening to this, the fact that people are the
• 2:29:23
  Speaker 1: Candice has one of the biggest podcasts in the country,
• 2:29:26
  Speaker 1: that she is everywhere, and then people not only are
• 2:29:29
  Speaker 1: listening to it, but then relating to it. She just
• 2:29:31
  Speaker 1: debated somebody on this. She debated a guy on who
• 2:29:34
  Speaker 1: killed Charlie Cook something Wilson a professional debate. He calls
• 2:29:41
  Speaker 1: himself right, he's an actor, their brother of what's his name,
• 2:29:46
  Speaker 1: Wilson the actor. And the fact that people give us
• 2:29:52
  Speaker 1: stage even pretend that there's even a shred of legitimacy.
• 2:30:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, all of that is evil. This is real barbarism.
• 2:30:06
  Speaker 1: It I agree with you completely, one of the coolest
• 2:30:10
  Speaker 1: acts of public mistreatment ever. She is crazy, I mean,
• 2:30:17
  Speaker 1: she really is crazy, and she's evil at this point,
• 2:30:21
  Speaker 1: She's damn evil. Candice Own is an evil person. The
• 2:30:27
  Speaker 1: fact that she trades in lies on a scale that god,
• 2:30:35
  Speaker 1: you just don't see out of outside of a kind
• 2:30:37
  Speaker 1: of authoritarian regimes. But she is a real monster and
• 2:30:45
  Speaker 1: should be avoided. She shouldn't be listened to, she shouldn't
• 2:30:49
  Speaker 1: be promoted. She should be canceled by everybody. Everybody should
• 2:30:52
  Speaker 1: cancel her. The idea that Ben Shapiro would even consider
• 2:30:56
  Speaker 1: debating her is I think ludicrous. The idea that Jibu yeah,
• 2:31:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, she needs to be canceled by everybody. She
• 2:31:08
  Speaker 1: is unworthy of being associated within any context, in any context. Ryan, Hey, Ryan,
• 2:31:22
  Speaker 1: fifty Canadian dollars coming in late here. When intellectuals promote
• 2:31:27
  Speaker 1: capitalism in concrete terms without abstracting to the maral defense
• 2:31:31
  Speaker 1: of capitalism. I think it creates an opening for capitalism
• 2:31:34
  Speaker 1: to be torn down by the common good. Teach morality,
• 2:31:38
  Speaker 1: speak up thinks, Yeah, you've got to integrate it. You've
• 2:31:40
  Speaker 1: got to make the economic arguments, because a lot of
• 2:31:43
  Speaker 1: arguments down the part side makes economic But you've got
• 2:31:45
  Speaker 1: to integrate it with a moral tone and moral facts
• 2:31:49
  Speaker 1: and morality and a defense of self interest, the defense
• 2:31:53
  Speaker 1: of a person's right to his own life, making his
• 2:31:57
  Speaker 1: own decisions for himself. But you can't only do that.
• 2:31:59
  Speaker 1: You have to integrate the two. And very very very
• 2:32:04
  Speaker 1: very very few people do that outside of objectivism, almost nobody.
• 2:32:14
  Speaker 1: All Right, Stephen says, here's to Prometheus and Einran's nineteen
• 2:32:19
  Speaker 1: thirty eight novel at Anthem. Thank you, Stephen, Yes, that
• 2:32:23
  Speaker 1: was an inspiring story about Prometheus, right. I mean, I'm
• 2:32:26
  Speaker 1: looking forward to driving out there and seeing the statue.
• 2:32:28
  Speaker 1: It should be really cool. Paul. If the Dams win
• 2:32:32
  Speaker 1: the House, will they impeach Trump and what will happen
• 2:32:36
  Speaker 1: to the Israel policy? Yes, they'll impeach Trump. You know,
• 2:32:41
  Speaker 1: there'll be a majority in the House against Israel, probably
• 2:32:44
  Speaker 1: because they'll not all Democrats will be anti Israel, but
• 2:32:47
  Speaker 1: enough Republicans will be anti Israel to combine. But because
• 2:32:52
  Speaker 1: Trump is there, they can't really do anything on the
• 2:32:54
  Speaker 1: Israel front. And it's not clear that the Senate. They
• 2:32:57
  Speaker 1: win the Senate, and even if they win the Senate,
• 2:33:02
  Speaker 1: they won't have enough anti Israel voices because people like
• 2:33:06
  Speaker 1: Fetterman are pro Israel, and more Republican Senators a pro
• 2:33:12
  Speaker 1: Israel than House members. So they just don't have the
• 2:33:16
  Speaker 1: votes to do anything significant visa of Israel. And now
• 2:33:21
  Speaker 1: if they win the presidency thousand the Senate in twenty
• 2:33:24
  Speaker 1: twenty eight, watch out. This is the consequence of having Trump.
• 2:33:30
  Speaker 1: This is the consequence of voting for Trump last time. Michael,
• 2:33:36
  Speaker 1: the best stories of your life begin with the decision
• 2:33:38
  Speaker 1: that made absolutely no sense to anyone else. Maybe I'm
• 2:33:44
  Speaker 1: not sure that's true, but it is. There is a
• 2:33:47
  Speaker 1: good story there. I don't know about the best stories, Liam.
• 2:33:51
  Speaker 1: Strength doesn't come from what you can do. It comes
• 2:33:54
  Speaker 1: from overcoming what you thought you couldn't. Yes, I mean
• 2:34:04
  Speaker 1: you need to stretch yourself. Always stretch yourself, always push yourself.
• 2:34:07
  Speaker 1: So doing the things that you didn't think you could do. James,
• 2:34:11
  Speaker 1: does the idea of having children for the sake of
• 2:34:13
  Speaker 1: your legacy or bloodlined week of secondhandedness? Yes? And of
• 2:34:18
  Speaker 1: collectivism and of yeah absolutely, I mean what does the
• 2:34:25
  Speaker 1: legacy mean? What does bloodline mean? I mean, where do
• 2:34:31
  Speaker 1: they carry your blood? I mean it's deterministic collectivism, family
• 2:34:37
  Speaker 1: type collectivism. Yes, you should only have children because you
• 2:34:41
  Speaker 1: enjoy the process of raising children and interacting with children,
• 2:34:45
  Speaker 1: interacting with them as adults. That's the only reason to
• 2:34:48
  Speaker 1: have them. James says Nazism is forming in America under
• 2:34:54
  Speaker 1: different names. Yeah, I still think actual Naxism those set
• 2:35:00
  Speaker 1: ideas is pretty rare and pretty small. Still. Time UK
• 2:35:07
  Speaker 1: lost half its millionaires in the last decade. Yes, I
• 2:35:10
  Speaker 1: was going to do a show on that. I'll cover
• 2:35:12
  Speaker 1: it in one of my shows. They're losing millionaires like unbelievable. Ryan,
• 2:35:20
  Speaker 1: you would think fighting Islamism would be an indestructible thread
• 2:35:24
  Speaker 1: of common interest between US and Israel. How have we
• 2:35:28
  Speaker 1: all forgotten September eleventh discussing, Yes, we don't care about
• 2:35:33
  Speaker 1: We didn't understand September eleven when it happened we couldn't
• 2:35:36
  Speaker 1: identify the enemy. Then we didn't fight it properly, then,
• 2:35:40
  Speaker 1: why would we know anything more about what caused September
• 2:35:43
  Speaker 1: eleventh and how to fight it and who our real
• 2:35:46
  Speaker 1: allies are today than we did in nine to eleven.
• 2:35:48
  Speaker 1: We didn't know then, We still don't know. We still
• 2:35:51
  Speaker 1: haven't learned any of the lessons. Not chavas algorithm. Is
• 2:35:56
  Speaker 1: AI progressing faster than we could have ever expected now?
• 2:36:00
  Speaker 1: Late stage mixed economy? I don't know, right, I didn't
• 2:36:05
  Speaker 1: know enough about AI to have expectations about it. I mean,
• 2:36:10
  Speaker 1: I don't think the mixed economy is yet having too
• 2:36:14
  Speaker 1: much of an influence. It's it's unregulated. It's in technology,
• 2:36:18
  Speaker 1: which is an area that's still unregulated relatively speaking. So
• 2:36:22
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's that unexpected. Now you have a
• 2:36:27
  Speaker 1: jog rhithm. If you you've accumulated a lot of wealth,
• 2:36:30
  Speaker 1: why does it make more sense to put your money
• 2:36:33
  Speaker 1: in the stock market rather than tax freem UNI bonds?
• 2:36:37
  Speaker 1: Because you get a higher return in the stock market
• 2:36:40
  Speaker 1: even after taxes. Your after tax return on stocks will
• 2:36:46
  Speaker 1: be over the long run, significantly higher than the after
• 2:36:51
  Speaker 1: tax return on UNI bonds. The after text return on
• 2:36:53
  Speaker 1: union bonds will be low, and so depends why you want.
• 2:37:00
  Speaker 1: In the short run, maybe it makes sense, but in
• 2:37:02
  Speaker 1: the long run it doesn't because of in the long run,
• 2:37:06
  Speaker 1: the stock market significantly outperforms even on a tack sudjusted
• 2:37:10
  Speaker 1: basis the use of a bond market. I think of
• 2:37:12
  Speaker 1: it this way. In the stock market, you're investing in production.
• 2:37:17
  Speaker 1: In the bond market, you're investing in the state. What
• 2:37:21
  Speaker 1: is going to outperform. Not Cherry's algorithm. I mean it's
• 2:37:27
  Speaker 1: risk adjusted BEUNI bonds is no risk. But in the
• 2:37:31
  Speaker 1: long run you get rewarded for risk, and that's why
• 2:37:34
  Speaker 1: stocks make more sense, not Chevy's algorithm. If Trump had
• 2:37:37
  Speaker 1: won instead of Bye end in twenty twenty, would you
• 2:37:40
  Speaker 1: still have kept your hedge fund to this day? Would
• 2:37:43
  Speaker 1: you have reached your few money goal? Huh? Maybe it's
• 2:37:50
  Speaker 1: distinct possibility. I mean, we did okay coming out of COVID,
• 2:37:58
  Speaker 1: but twenty twenty three will and who knows what would
• 2:38:01
  Speaker 1: have happened if Trump. I mean, put it this way,
• 2:38:05
  Speaker 1: I think it's over. It's a better than fifty percent
• 2:38:07
  Speaker 1: chance said yes that I would have made my few
• 2:38:09
  Speaker 1: goals and the hedge front would still be out there.
• 2:38:17
  Speaker 1: But it didn't happen. So I don't. I don't. I don't.
• 2:38:20
  Speaker 1: I don't worry about things that could have Author Mamdani
• 2:38:25
  Speaker 1: has declared war on Amazon. Will Amazon leave New York
• 2:38:29
  Speaker 1: City or will it take longer and be more expensive
• 2:38:32
  Speaker 1: to get your packages? You know, I don't know. That'll
• 2:38:35
  Speaker 1: be interesting. I hope so I hope Amazon declares war
• 2:38:39
  Speaker 1: on Mamdani and makes New Yorker suffer the consequences of
• 2:38:44
  Speaker 1: voting from Mamdani, which they're going to do anyway. But
• 2:38:47
  Speaker 1: Amazon could accelerate that, that would be cool. Author. The
• 2:38:51
  Speaker 1: AI data centers today are outpacing the diabolical corruption of MAGA.
• 2:38:57
  Speaker 1: This enlightenment project continues to prevent despite all the evil
• 2:39:01
  Speaker 1: undermining it. Yeah, but it's being slowed down. A lots
• 2:39:05
  Speaker 1: of projects being halted. Slow down. It should be even faster,
• 2:39:11
  Speaker 1: It should be even faster. But yes, technology, technology is
• 2:39:17
  Speaker 1: moving us forward in spite Lincoln three part question. It
• 2:39:22
  Speaker 1: looks like interesting data point on academia's continued struggles. My college,
• 2:39:28
  Speaker 1: the University of Arizona, is expecting to have just five
• 2:39:31
  Speaker 1: eight hundred freshmen versus nine three hundred and twenty twenty
• 2:39:35
  Speaker 1: four and the University of Arizona is consistently ranked a
• 2:39:39
  Speaker 1: top public university for STEM. Things are probably much worse
• 2:39:44
  Speaker 1: for non Ivy League private schools and less rigorous public
• 2:39:49
  Speaker 1: schools like the cal State and A and M schools.
• 2:39:53
  Speaker 1: And we've only just started to the kids born post
• 2:39:57
  Speaker 1: seven birth rate peak into college. It's going to be
• 2:40:00
  Speaker 1: interesting to see what happens. I'll look into the numbers
• 2:40:05
  Speaker 1: and I'll see if this is a bigger thing and
• 2:40:08
  Speaker 1: a trend in terms of shrinking university attendance. Wouldn't be
• 2:40:14
  Speaker 1: surprised in the post war era if we see that,
• 2:40:20
  Speaker 1: Gene here's to Prometheus. Thank you, Gene Blaze. Why does
• 2:40:25
  Speaker 1: the US rank so poorly in median net worth? And
• 2:40:29
  Speaker 1: is that an important economic metric? It ranks poorly in
• 2:40:39
  Speaker 1: median net worth because the median is fifty fifty, right,
• 2:40:44
  Speaker 1: and the United States has more, if you will, income
• 2:40:49
  Speaker 1: inequality than places like Europe. So in Europe the median
• 2:40:56
  Speaker 1: is higher than in the United States and some countries
• 2:40:58
  Speaker 1: in Europe, but you can't advance much beyond the median.
• 2:41:05
  Speaker 1: The range is shrunk, right, So statistically you have a
• 2:41:09
  Speaker 1: range that's much smaller, and the positive tail is much
• 2:41:16
  Speaker 1: is significantly reduced. So Europe is mediocre and the medium
• 2:41:24
  Speaker 1: is strong. In the United States, the median is weaker,
• 2:41:29
  Speaker 1: but your upside is much much higher, not just at
• 2:41:33
  Speaker 1: the very end, not at the fault of detail, but
• 2:41:37
  Speaker 1: all through that many many more millions, that many more
• 2:41:40
  Speaker 1: people making hundreds of thousands of dollars, and many more
• 2:41:43
  Speaker 1: people with wealth in the hundreds of thout than Europeans are.
• 2:41:46
  Speaker 1: But the median is there. It's also I mean, my
• 2:41:51
  Speaker 1: guess is because this is wealth that it relates to
• 2:41:54
  Speaker 1: real estate. Real estate in Europe is very expensive. Uh,
• 2:41:58
  Speaker 1: you know, people have the same home and innovations. You know,
• 2:42:03
  Speaker 1: they have a real estate that counts towards that wealth.
• 2:42:06
  Speaker 1: They might be pouring income. Look, none of this is important.
• 2:42:10
  Speaker 1: What really matters if you want to compare Europe in
• 2:42:13
  Speaker 1: the United States, for example, what you really want to
• 2:42:16
  Speaker 1: compare is basically disposable income. How much money do you
• 2:42:21
  Speaker 1: have after you pay taxes, you get whatever subsidies you
• 2:42:28
  Speaker 1: get from the government, after you after you pay for
• 2:42:34
  Speaker 1: health care. How much money do you have for the
• 2:42:39
  Speaker 1: rest of stuff, for food and for fun and for
• 2:42:45
  Speaker 1: vacations and for going to the movies and all this stuff.
• 2:42:49
  Speaker 1: How much do you have left and is a capacitor
• 2:42:55
  Speaker 1: both median and average is much higher in the United
• 2:42:59
  Speaker 1: States than in Europe. So what you really want to
• 2:43:02
  Speaker 1: look at is disposable income and dispose you can cut
• 2:43:11
  Speaker 1: that through different age groups, and the United States performance
• 2:43:14
  Speaker 1: better than every age group, every age group. So I
• 2:43:20
  Speaker 1: wouldn't I wouldn't pay any attention to the median net wealth.
• 2:43:25
  Speaker 1: And again real estate plays a big role in that.
• 2:43:29
  Speaker 1: But you don't eat real estate, you don't consume real estate.
• 2:43:32
  Speaker 1: You could own a small little apartment in Paris and
• 2:43:37
  Speaker 1: it's worth a lot of money because it's been in
• 2:43:39
  Speaker 1: your family forever, and have very little income to actually
• 2:43:43
  Speaker 1: enjoy Paris, whereas you know, in the United States, I
• 2:43:53
  Speaker 1: think there's a lesson of that, but I have to
• 2:43:56
  Speaker 1: really dig into the numbers to see what exactly is
• 2:43:59
  Speaker 1: going on. Let's see Lincoln says, amazing to think with
• 2:44:09
  Speaker 1: debt consuming trillions that could be invested in the state,
• 2:44:13
  Speaker 1: hating entrepreneurship, we still grow economy this fast. Well, we're
• 2:44:17
  Speaker 1: not going it very fast. It's under two percent, so
• 2:44:19
  Speaker 1: don't get too excited about economic growth. We're going at
• 2:44:22
  Speaker 1: a very low rating. It's under two percent. I think
• 2:44:24
  Speaker 1: it's one point six percent, which is not good. We
• 2:44:26
  Speaker 1: should be going at full five percent. And the debt,
• 2:44:30
  Speaker 1: it's not about the debt, it's about government spending. Think
• 2:44:32
  Speaker 1: about all the waste in spending and redistributing wealth rather
• 2:44:36
  Speaker 1: than in investing that wealth. Lincoln also says it's almost
• 2:44:41
  Speaker 1: incomprehensible the tech and quality of life we'd get with
• 2:44:44
  Speaker 1: real capitalism and US debt money instead be put towards
• 2:44:48
  Speaker 1: AI science. Bo I say, yes, absolutely unimaginable how wealthy
• 2:44:52
  Speaker 1: we would be. Andrew says enthrepreneurs should heed the lesson.
• 2:44:58
  Speaker 1: You laid down with dogs, you going to get fleas.
• 2:45:01
  Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely. He made canvas. I mean Charlie Cook and
• 2:45:07
  Speaker 1: Ben Shapiro made candas. Charlie Cook discovered candas, made her
• 2:45:12
  Speaker 1: senior person in in in turning points you were saying,
• 2:45:18
  Speaker 1: and then Ben Shapiro gave her the job of a life,
• 2:45:22
  Speaker 1: you know, this amazing job, and then she stabbed him
• 2:45:25
  Speaker 1: in the back. She became a monster. All right, guys,
• 2:45:31
  Speaker 1: thank you to all the super chatters. You were great today.
• 2:45:34
  Speaker 1: So tomorrow will probably be an hour later, probably at
• 2:45:38
  Speaker 1: three pm East Coast time, and that'll be true Tuesdays
• 2:45:43
  Speaker 1: in the foreseeable future. What else do I want to
• 2:45:47
  Speaker 1: tell you? Yeah, so tomorrow three pm e schol time,
• 2:45:53
  Speaker 1: then back to hopefully back to two pm E's Coast time.
• 2:45:56
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow will be late for me, so I may be yeah,
• 2:46:00
  Speaker 1: low tired, but hopefully not all right. Guys, see to mom.
• 2:46:05
  Speaker 1: Have a great rest of the week. By everybody,
