• 5:45
  Speaker 2: We'll start over because now it's good. Uh, now we'll
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: start over. Okay, here goes. This is uh, this is
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Trump telling you what you need and what you don't need.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: We need the one thing you need. You need to
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: you know, you can give certain products. You can give
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: up pencils.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: You can give up pencils. Guys.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: Policy you know every child can get thirty seven pencils.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: They only need one or two. You know.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: China policy is trade with China trade with China.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Where where you you know, you have low tariffs, and
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: then kids can have thirty seven pencils. But you don't
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: need thirty seven pencils. You don't need one or two pencils. Really,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: they don't need that many, don't need that many. But
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: he always says trumpet, you always need steal, you always
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: need steel, right, And of course steel, we always need steel.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: So let's make it more expensive by tariffing it, by
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: putting a tariff on it. And then way it'll be
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: more expensive. We'll still get what you know, we'll get it,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: and our own steal manufacturers will produce it, but at
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: much higher cost, and all the people using steel will
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: will have to pay a much higher cost and people
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: will lose their jobs.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Or we need steel, We need steel.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, if we really need to steal, we low
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: tariffs to zero and the steel would just flood into
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: the country, plenty of steel. And what else do we
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: need or don't need? I can tell you what you
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: don't need.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: You don't need thirty seven dollars for your daughter two
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: or three is nice, but you don't need thirty seven dollars.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: You don't need thirty seven dollars really. I mean, Trump
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: is going to tell you how many cause you're gonna
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: need and how many pens, how many pens. I know
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I don't need pencils, but pens I need, but I
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: don't know how many. I'm eager for Central Plan in
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Chief Trump to tell me how many pens I need.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: This is this is what some people have said is
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: the greatest president in American history. You don't need you
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: don't need pencils. You don't need thirty seven dolls. I
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: know exactly how many dollars you need. You know what
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: else is he gonna tell me in terms of what
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: I need and what I don't need?
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: And I'm curious how he's going to determine that.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so we're doing things right. We're right here,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: we need.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: So we're doing things right.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: We're doing things right because we're preventing you guys from
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: getting more pencils than you need. You don't need so
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: many pencils. Cut it out with the pencils. And of
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: course this is pure nationalism, pure collectivism. This is the
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: state needs steel. The state will decide what is needed
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: and what is not needed. The state will limit your
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: consumption of the frivolous stuff that I don't know, you
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: desire for the sake of steel. I mean, this sounds
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: like every two bid dictator in the world steal. You know, MAO,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: send everybody to go make steel. And you know, and
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: and Stalin one of his great quote achievements was getting
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: all those factories opening and steel. You know that that's manly.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: That is nationalistic. Dolls Who needs dolls? Dolls are like lane,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: They're very feminine. And yeah, the nation doesn't need dolls.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: The nation needs steal to build weapons. Uh So, yes,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: I just don't get you know what I get, I get.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: What the point is.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: The point is this nationalistic is nationalistic perspective. But I
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: don't get how anybody thinks this is a political strategy.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Now granted, he actually, I think said this on the
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: campaign trail and he still won. But now, when people
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: are really hooting, when when when people seem to be hooting,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: when the economy is sputtering along not really doing that well,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: and when people are you know, there's a lot of
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: existential angst around the economy. I don't know how Trump
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: going around the country.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: And telling people.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: You're only gonna have two dollars, no pencils, and I'm
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: gonna get you a factory job. How does that? How
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: does that get in votes? I mean, is he telling
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: basically people because he doesn't strike me as the kind
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: of president who can do this. But imagine if you
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: told people something like, yep, guys, I need you to
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: sacrifice because it's for the greater good. It's for the nation,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: it's for steel, it's for Steell. You need to sacrifice
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: some dolls and some pencils for steel. But it's okay
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: because I'll get you a manufacturing job. You know, it's
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: a horrible job, long hours and physically exhausting, but it's
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: what you wanted. You always want a manufacturing job. I'll
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: get your manufacturing job. Just sacrifice your dolls and your
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: pencils and everything will be okay. We'll have steel. I mean,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: is that a winning strategy politically? It's a little scary.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: If it is a little scary that it is.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: So.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I hope that. I hope people people vote him
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: out of office for you know, for baby. Maybe he
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: could be impeached on on on denying people dolls. Maybe
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: that's it. This is uh, Bernie is excited. Yeah, Bernie,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Bernie should have been Trump's running mate. I mean that
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: would have united the nation. It would have been a
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: left right coalition. It would have been perfect. I mean,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: the too populist, populist of the left and populist of
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: the right, the two socialists, the two fascists, whatever you
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: want to call it, but they are soulmates when it
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: comes to this kind of stuff.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Deny people the night, little kids, the dolls, the dolls.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: I never had thirty seven dollars, so I kind of sympathize.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: I don't think you guys should have thirty seven dolls. Uh,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: it's just not right. It's just not right talk about
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: stuff that's not right.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: I think today, maybe even as we speak, there there
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: is testimony on Capitol Hill from people I think there
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: are five people, five people there, but they represent I
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: think many more people who have been arrested, seized, not
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: even arrested, seized, kidnapped by ice, by ice. These are
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: all US citizens. They've been kidnapped, imprisoned for days with
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: no phone call, no lawyer. And remember these are these
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: are masked militias, heavily armed and unmarked cause driving up
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: and dragging people away from their families, away from their jobs,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: and sticking them in jail, no warrant, no rest, want
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: often breaking into homes with no search warrant, or because
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: they suspect them, suspect them of being illegal immigrants. Immigrants somehow,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: the whole idea of illegal immigration means you have to
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: throw out individual rights. You have to throw out you know,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: general rights, you have to throw out habeas corpus, you
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: have to throw out all the protections that we have
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: from a police state out when it comes to legal immigration,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: it's okay to use tutalitarian police state tactics in order
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: to in order to achieve your goal. And by the way,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: how do they decide who to stop? How do they
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: decide who to kidnap? Well, I mean the only measure
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: they have to determine whether somebody is illegal or not
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: by just perceptual. Perceptually is this skin color? Is this
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: skin color? I mean the most dangerous can color they
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: have an America right now is brown. You know, Blacks,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: I think assumed to be Americans. Whites assume to be Americans.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Brown your assume to be illegal. And as a consequence,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: you know, they'll go out there into the streets, fully armed,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: not showing their faces, unmarked cause and literally kidnapped people
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: of the streets, and people said, no, no, no, that's
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: not true.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: It's not happening to US citizens.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: But of course it is, and I see stories about
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: it every single day, and right now in front of Congress,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: we've got people under oath testifying that it's happened to them.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: It's happened to.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Them, because it's happening almost every day, just horrific stories.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: And sometimes they're not arrested, but because ultimately somebody shows
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: them some ID that shows that a person is a
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: US citizen. But in the meantime, they've been handcuffed, they've
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: been dragged out of their car, they've been put in
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: an on my mask van. You don't know what's going
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: to happen to You don't know where you're going to
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: be taking, you don't know how long you're going to
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: be into custody. And luckily, maybe you're traveling with the
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: spouse who maybe doesn't look like an illegal immigrant, and
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: they can they can show an ID that gets you
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: out of the mind. If the ice mobsters are even
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: willing to take a look. I mean, this is true
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: authoritarian tactics, This is true police state stuff. If you
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: believe in freedom, if you believe in liberty right now,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: right now, in America, the number one enemy is ice.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: If you believe in freedom, if you believe in liberty,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: if you believe in individual rights, if you believe in
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: the constitution of this country, then the number one enemy
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: is Ice. Yes, illegal immigrants have broken the law. Okay police,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: police don't go in with masks, they don't even use
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: masks and unmilked. You know you're running up people when
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: they suspect murderers and drug dealers, and many of them
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: have body cams. That would be something of Ice had
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: body cams. Right, we basically define a whole category of
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: people of it having zero rights. But in our Declaration Independence,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: it doesn't say all American men are created equal. It
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: says all men are created equal, and that includes illegal immigrants.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: They have rights. Maybe they broke the law. Maybe they
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: should be punished for baking the law. Maybe that punishment
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: is deportation. Fine. This way of dealing with it is despicable, horrific,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: un American, a violation in my view of the Constitution.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Although I don't think any court will find that, we'll see.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: It's being sued.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: I think the Institute for Justice's taking up one of
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: the cases of an American citizen that's being captured like this.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't think any court will review a
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: non citizen case, but they will review a case of
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: a US citizen. And we'll see, we'll see how this
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: evolves in the courts. But in the meantime, the courts
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: could take years. And in the meantime, ice is everywhere,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: and Americans are cheering. Some Americans are cheering it because
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: they want to police date. They want to tell Ayianism
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: as long as somehow they feel like they benefit from it, right,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: and you know, as long as they don't have to
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: give up the yell steal, got to have that steal. Uh.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: It's horrific. Uh, it really is horrific. And it really
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: is horrific that so many people support this. I find
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: that just and again, one of the greatest presidents in
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: American history is unleashing this, you know, uh, a fascist Uh,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: this fascist police force on us which respects no individual
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: rights and which respects the rights of nobody and uh,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: which you know, it is abusing people left and right.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: It's not going after criminals, They're going after hard working
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: immigrants to this country who are trying to make and
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: create a.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Better life for themselves.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: That now is a source of resentment even for some
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: people who call themselves objectivists. Talk about people to despise
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: is immigrants. I'm going to show you a clip of
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Stephen Miller, right, so you know one of the one
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: of the problems in America today is lowering test scores
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: and test scores going going down. You know, Stephen Miller,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: in my view, is one of the most despicable people
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: on the planet.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: I mean he is.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: He is in my view, a hate filled uh you know,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: I think fascist. If if he had his weight, he
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: would He has no respect for individual rights, zero zilch
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: now for Americans who disagree with him, and not for
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: uh not, and certainly not for immigrants. And of course
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: right now the trumpet dedministration is looking for excuses for
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: the problems that we face.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: We saw JD.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Vance tell the American people that immigrants are driving home
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: prices up. The reason you can't fo a home is
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: because immigrants are driving the cost of housing up. Not
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: because they're not of houses, not because we don't build enough,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: but because immigrants, those evil bastards, are driving the cost
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: of housing up. Now he has an explanation for why
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: test scores in our schools are going down, why educational
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: system is failing. Listen to this. Whoops, I mean yeah,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: you'll have volume on this, I promise, gous. We talk
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: about test scores.
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: Will if you subtract immigration out of test scores, all
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: of a sudden, our test scores skyrocket?
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Do they really? I mean do they not? If you
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: have Asian kids in your school district Indians Asians? I
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: want to show you a photo. I want to show
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: you a photo. Let's see if this will work. See
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: that photo. See those kids? How many of them are?
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: How many of them are? You know?
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: What do they call them?
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: Now?
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: What do they call them? Heritage Americans? How many of
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: these are heritage Americans? They're all immigrants or children of immigrants.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: I think, I mean, I might be reaching here, I'm
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: making I'm making a conclusion based on looks alone.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: But they don't they you know, maybe right?
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: You know who these are? Who these people are? These
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: kids are? This is the US math Olympiad team. It's
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: the US math Olympia team. They represent America in the
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: math Olympiad and not a single one of them is
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: a quote Heritage of Americans. Somebody came after me on Twitter
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: by saying that they were tenth generation American. How many
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: tense generation Americans participate in the math Olympiad. So yeah,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: test scores go down because you extract immigrants out of them,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: maybe in some places, not in other places. This is
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: the kind of collectivism, tribalism bs that little fascists like
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Miller spout all day long. A chief representative of one
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: of the greatest presidents in American history, If.
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: You subtract immigration out of healthcare, all of a sudden,
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: we don't have nearly the size of the healthcare challenges
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: our country faces.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Is that true? Is that really true? Because you know,
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: I think that a big part of the challenges that
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: we have with healthcare in this country is obesity. And
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: you know, I don't know, I haven't done a study.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm speculating here that Americans are more obese
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: than pretty much anybody else, and more beasts than immigrants,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: particularly in certain parts of Red Republican America. I mean
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: a lot of obesity, a lot of diabetes. I mean
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: most of the drug epidemic and the drinking epidemic, and
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: epidemic I hate even calling it epidemics, as if it's contigious.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: But the drug problems, the drinking problems, and they're for
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: the liver problems and a lot of the you know,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: diabetes problems, and they're for heart problems. Americans lifestyle, American lifestyle.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: But no, let's blame you know why your health insurance
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: is so expensive. You know why there's such a line
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: in the emergency room. You know why there's problems in
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: healthcare all over the country, opiods and everything else. It's immigrants.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: It's not you. This is what I told you fifteen
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: twenty sixteen. It's not you. You're Americans. You're wonderful, You're fantastic,
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: You're great, particularly if you voted for Donald Trump. You're
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: amazing people. Those immigrants, though, they're evil and all the problems.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: We have, low test scores, no teachers are amazing. The
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: curriculum is fantastic, the schools are the best in the world.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: But the immigrants lower the standards. What can we do?
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: This is why, this is why.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: You know they're no immigrants in Silicon Valley because they're
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: not They're just not smart enough. They can't make it
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: in school in our schools. They know children of immigrants
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: in Silicon Valley. I'm sure you've never seen a child
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: of an immigrant to Silicon Valley or in.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: Any other leading positions.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: This is why all the CEOs of all the tech
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: companies are heritage Americans. I think, you know, like, of
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: the top five companies in the US, like in tech,
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: three of them are run by Indians or something. But
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: those Indians they raise, they lower our test scores, and
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: they raise our healthcare costs. I mean, this is what
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: I keep telling you about. They lie and lie, and
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: this is not Stephen Miller's smart. They lie and lie
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: and lie and lie and lie and lie. They lie boldly,
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: they lie assertively. They lie with passion until you stop
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: believing it, until all of you start believing it. And
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: then you.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: Repeat it and repeat it and repeat.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: It until it becomes established truth and nobody ever questions it.
• 25:11
  Speaker 7: And do you subtract immigration out of public safety all
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: of a sudden, we don't have violent crime in so
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: many of our cities.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Issued not true? You know, immigrants are by far less
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: violent than Americans heritage You're not. Americans are significantly more
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: engaged than violent crime than immigrants. And therefore, if you
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: actually subtract immigrants. If you kick out all the immigrants
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: in the United States, violent crime p capita will actually
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: go up the capita. So it's just unbelievable how he
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: can get away with this, unbelievable, how you can get
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: away with this and lie and the guy functions. He's
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: just gonna nod his head, just gonna nod his head. Yep, yep, yep,
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: yep checkpalk checkpalk checkpalk yep. Americans, wonderful immigrants. It's the other.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: It's the other.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: It's Chinese immigrants. It's those other people look differently than
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: you do.
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: After issue, we talk about these things that just they
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: just happened to us.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: The schools just.
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: Suddenly fail by the chrime just suddenly explodes, the deficit
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: just suddenly skyrockets.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: These are a.
• 26:34
  Speaker 7: Result of social policy choices that we made through immigration.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: The results of social policy policies we make. Absolutely the
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: result of, you know, the kind of statist, nationalist, collectivist,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: socialist policies that this country has been embracing for one
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: hundred years. And that's what's going to happen. But in
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: spite of all that, in spite of all that, you know,
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: clime is low and declining. In spite of all of that,
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: you know, our economic situation is okay, it's not great,
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: but it's okay. You know, it is amazing, right, it's amazing.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Immigrants always going the lowest in tests, so the dumbest
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: put it that way. And yet they take American jobs
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: somehow the most meritorious, and they're all living on welfare
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: at the same time. So they're bankrupting the country because
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: they're the ones drawing money on welfare. But they took
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: our jobs. Yeah, okay, and they're also buying all the
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: houses with what you know, where's the money that they
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: get to buy all the houses.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: So they're dumb.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: They take all the jobs, they're on welfare, and they
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: buy all the houses all at the same time. In
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: other words, any problem you might have anyway anytime in
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: the US, it's immigrants. Now. You know, Stephen Miller is
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: channeling here the same kind of obsession.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: You know, the people had way back.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: In the nineteen twenties, you know, when we had large
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: migration in the late nineteenth century, early twentieth century, and
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: then there was you know, nineteen twenty four, there was
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: a law put in place one of Coolidge's bad stuff
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: that he did that basically restricted immigrations significantly. And this
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: is this is what Miller said in a different part
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: of the interview. He says, what they teach you in
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: school is that from nineteen twenty to nineteen seventy seventy
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: there was negative migration. There was a half century of
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: negative migration. The farm bone population declined by forty percent
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: for half a century. That doesn't mean it was negative migration.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: By the way, there wasn't negative migration. That just means
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: that migration was lower than birth rates. That is, more
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Americans were born than migrants were coming in, so their
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: percentage of the population went down.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: But that's the kind of math that you.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Know that US immigrants like me, you know, we don't get.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: So maybe Stephen Miller is correct because he's a heritage American.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: No, wait a minute, he's not, is he.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: God, I don't know what we do with Stephen Mellie.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: He's Jewish.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: His parents immigrated to the United States. They're immigrants. They
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: benefited from you know, I don't know some pause and
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: the immigration laws that allowed them to come in. I
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: have no idea. I'd have to look into his heritage,
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: and how how American he really is, How many generations
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: did any of his ancestors, any of them fight in
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: the Civil War or in wolf independence, because otherwise I
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: don't know if I can take him seriously at all.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: So that's not true. If on board population declined about
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: forty percent, five percent, she's true. But there was no
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: negative migration, he says, during the same period, deus population
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: doubled from natural childbirth. That's right, baby, it's called the
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: baby boom, particularly from the nineteen fifties. That was the
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: culture and in which he unified, shared national identity was formed.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: They went through a depression together, They went through a
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: world wars together, They landed on the moon together. This
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: great period in American history happened at the time when
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: there was a negative migration. They don't teach you that
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: as school kids. So no, that is bullshit. That's the
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: technical term for what he's saying. There was no negative
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: migration during this period. But it's bullshit also in terms
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: of they went through a great depression together. Maybe that's
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: what we need. We need a great depression to unite us,
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: to bond us together. We need something really hobable to
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: happen like a world war. So we all come together
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: in a shared purpose, the people. We need a war,
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's what he's really saying. We need to
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: kick out all the immigrants, and we need a war
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: to you know, to resurrect the common collectivist spirit that
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: we all should have. Going God, but this is the
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: greatest president we've ever had. This is one of his
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: major spokesmen. This is this is America. This is what
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: America represents. This is what America stands for. This is America. This,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: you know, this is what all of you should be cheering.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: He lies, Oh he doesn't know math, one of the
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: other I think he lies because I think he knows math.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: If Steven Millian, in spite of everything he says, everything,
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: he does, everything, the way he presents himself, it's actually
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: pretty smart. So he's lying. But then, what does it
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: count that we did this stuff together? You want to
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: go I mean, you want to go through a great
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: depression together. It's also nineteen twenty nineteen seventy, you know, yeah,
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: two world wars or one World War nineteen twenties, just
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: after the World War nineteen twenty four, a great depression,
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: a world war, you know, an okay, economic revival and
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: inflation of the nineteen seventies.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: This is good.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: And then another Vietnam War as well, you should mention that,
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: and of course the great society, establishment of the Welsas State,
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: and establishing of medicaid, medicaid, all of that happened during
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: this period of time. This is the period of time
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: we should haken for. And we didn't land on the
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: moon together. I wasn't there. Were you there? I mean,
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: so you weren't even born. Was this really a great
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: period in American history? How about eighteen seventy to nineteen twenty.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Eighteen seventy to nineteen twenty, we built this country together.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: We industrialized this country together. We created the mightiest military
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: economic force the world there's ever seen. Together. We became
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: stronger economically than the British Empire. Together. And during that
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: time massive immigration. We populated, We populated the West. We
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: grew this country to where it is today, together with massive,
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: not a little bit massive, one of the greatest immigration
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: immigration phenomenas in all of history. We did it together,
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: I guess. And there was massive immigration. Like this rhetoric
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: works on people who are ignorant of American policy, who
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: don't have any understanding, any understanding of American history, of
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: American culture, of American principles, and have no knowledge of
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: the present. They know nothing about what's going on right now.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: Nineteen twenties and nineteen seventies also a period of racist
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: quotas in immigration, but also jim Co laws, at least
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: for most of that period, eugenics laws. Much of an
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: economic stagnation, including a Great depression. It's true the farm
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: born chaffell from thirteen point five percent in nineteen twenty
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: to four point seven percent in nineteen seventy, but a
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: lot of that had to do with the fact that
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: because of the depression, people weren't coming and they were
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: kicked out. A lot of people tried to a lot
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: of Jews tried to leave Germany to come to the
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: United States to save themselves in the Holocaust, and the United.
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: States said, nope.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: You think the United States would be better off if
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: those people had come or not, It's not even close.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: I would also note that immigrants today, over the last
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: few decades, have built fifty five percent of the unicorns.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: And created trillions of dollars of wealth.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: You know, there's innovation in silicon value without immigrants. Really,
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: it's just astounding to me that this this is elevated,
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: this is what comes out of the White House. If
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: you have any respect for America, if you have every
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: respect for this country and its history and the principles
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: on which it was founded, you must condemn this administration
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: as one of the worst in hissisity, if not the worst,
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: and as one of and and ones with rhetoric that
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: is clearly uh, you know, uh, offensive and horrific and
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: anti individual rights and irrational and and just detached from
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: the facts of reality. So they lie, lie, lie, lie
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: all the time. H right. You might have heard that
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: there is a a war going on, and now you
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: know there was there was some uh some crossboader attack
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: between and firing between Thailand and Cambodia of all places,
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: a few months ago, and Donald Trump stepped in, supposedly
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: and he arranged a ceasefire, a peace deal. According to him,
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: the first one in like seven thousands, oh, no, seven
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: thousand years was the Middle East of sorry, and the
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: consequence of that was there was a ceasefire. And Trump
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: that's one of the nine or eight of the places
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: that he had brought peace to in the world that
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: you know that he deserves a noble price for peaceful anyway,
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: that is all gone up in flames. Trump or no Trump.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: The Cambodians and the Ties bombing, bombing each other and
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: attacking each other. Now, this is a one on which
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: one side is clearly much more powerful than the other.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Neither one has a particularly strong economy or any kind
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: of world class military. But in comparison, Thailand has a
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: far superior military than Cambodia. It has American weapons systems.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: It is currently I saw pictures, it is bom bombing
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: Cambodian territory and it's it's more than just firing across
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: the border. Supposedly, they've got armored vehicles now pushing forward
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: acrossing the Cambodia border, and Cambodia's is declaring a violation
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: of international law. They are whatever the hell that means,
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: I'm not And yeah, there was there was the beginning
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: of a real war here, not just a not just
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: a border conflict. Tanks are being recorded as advancing in
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: one of the districts where there is a territorial dispute infant.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: The columns are moving and there is clearly air support
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: because they're seeing F sixteen's. F sixteen's on the tires
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: have bombing positions on the Cambodia side. Now, you know,
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: both of these countries are very close to China. Thailand
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: tends to be also close to the United States. It's
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: it's close to both countries in the United States have
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: sold it many of its most of its weapons systems.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: And it's not exactly clear what there fighting over. I mean,
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: they're fighting over some territory, right, So this is a
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: long running border dispute over a piece of I guess
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: the jungle. There lands and ancient temples along a shared frontier.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: It's called the main temple there is called the pre
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: Vho Temple. And look, the temples in Cambodia and in Thailand,
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: but the temples in Cabodia are beautiful, amazing tourist destinations.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: But this is a contested site that each country claims
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: is theirs. You know, the border between Thailand and Cabodia
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: was basically drawn by the French, you know, in the
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: early twentieth century or the early yeah, in the early
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: twentieth century, the French drew up the borders, but unfortunately
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: they didn't just like in the Middle East where all
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: the countries have these straight borders, because the French and
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: the British did it then with basically rulers on a map.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: They didn't know what the hell they were doing here.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: The French were the ones who drew the borders. They
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: were the colonial power in this part of Asia during
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: this period of time, although the British had a presence
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: as well, so I'm not sure why the British went
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: a party to this. The British went Burma, and I
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: think Thailand was the only country for a member rate
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: that was not colonized, and only country in that region
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: that was not colonized by one of the European parties.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: It remained independent, but I think it was under basically
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: British influence. So the border was drawn by the French,
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: but it was ambiguous in certain areas and the overlapping
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: claims and their recurring disputes about this. In nineteen sixty two,
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: this temple was awarded to Cambodia by the International Court
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: of Justice the ICG infamous ICJ, which I don't think
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: Thailand has ever been happy with. But the surrounding lands,
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: hills and strategic terrain have remained disputed. Both countries still
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: think that that territory is part of the country. In
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, this became, you know, something they started
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: firing on. I mean, this is pure nationalistic you know,
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: nationalistic furv. Nobody really cares. It's not like there's any
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: any oil in this land. There's not like anything significant
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: about this land. They could divvy it up fifty to
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: fifty between the two and nothing would change in terms
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: of the countries. This is trumped up nationalistic ferv, I
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: think primarily to disguise the fact that particularly Thailand is
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: not doing particularly well economically right now. Colombia is Cambodia. Sorry,
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: Cambodia is very poor. Its economy is growing much faster
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: than Thailand is, but it's much poorer than Thailand is.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: She've got two countries that are fairly poor. Thailand, which
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: has had a lot of political instability, governments going in
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: and out, the only you know, the role of the
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: king being questioned, the military taking over a lot of instability.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: Cambodia with just this horrific past of the Kame Rouge
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: Vietnamese occupation.
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: And then again political instability.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: Both countries lack real freedom and real property rights, real
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: protection and property rights. Both of them lack the kind
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: of protection for individual rights. They're both nominally democracies, although
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: Thailand goes back and forth through a military government and
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: democracy back and forth, and Cambodia has these coups and
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: one party rule over periods of time, and these are
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: the kind of regimes that are likely to go to
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: war to distract people from challenges that they have internally.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: And in this case, I think particularly Thailand has an
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: incentive to distract people because the economy is growing much
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: much slower than the poor in Thailand would like. I mean,
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: the poor in Thailand are very, very poor, and Thailand
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: does have an expansive middle class. They do have well
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: a class of people who are quite wealthy. And yet
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: economic growth it promises to bring the poor up and
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: create a much much bigger middle class, and that economic
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: growth is stalled and installed primarily for corruption reasons and
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: because a bad economic policy by the regime, by the
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: people who run the country. And so you know, I
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: don't know all the details. I'm not an expert on
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: this region. It's sad. I've visited both Thailand and Cambodia,
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: and both countries were amazing. The people super friendly, particularly
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: in Thailand. The people in Thailand are amazingly friendly. The
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: people in Cambodia a little less, but maybe that, I
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: mean it's just relative to Thailand. Everybody's unfriendly. They're so
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: friendly in Thailand. But we had an amazing time in Cambodia.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: I mean it's very, very, very poor.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: But we got to see a lot.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: The temples are beautiful, the jungles are amazing, and it
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: was even interesting to experience some of the to you know,
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: see how people in these kind of in poor countries
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: like this actually live on a day to day basis.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: It's sad, it really really is sad, but educational. So
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: both places are amazing. Both places rely on tourism for
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: a bulk of their revenue, for the you know, for
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: a bulk of the livelihood of the population. A war
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: is gonna as already devastated tourism, and it's likely to
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: devastate tourism even or so it is. It is really
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: really horrible. Uh. Somebody says in the chap a lot
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: of prostitution. A lot of prostitution in Thailand, not so
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: much in Cambodia. I didn't really see it in Cambodia,
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: but a lot in Thailand. Thailand has a a culture
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: that is very and this goes back a long time,
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: that is very tolerant to prostitution.
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: It's legal, but it's also very accepting it.
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: It has a it has an attitude towards sex that
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: I think is very materialistic and uh so it's it's
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: it's not a black mark as it would be anywhere
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: else to be a prostitute. In Thailand. They also have
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: an attitude towards what they call lady boys and uh
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: or trans however you want to call them. They have
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: a much more loose attitude towards that. They have a
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: loose attitude to its homosexuality. Thailand generally has this very
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know, Buddhist you know, Kama Sutra kind of
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: attitude towards sex. It's it's, it's not a it's not
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: a big deal. And they don't they don't take it
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: as some they don't. They're not Christian and but but
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: they're not exactly the objectives either, Right, they don't have
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: objective view of sex, but they're not a Christian. They
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: don't have to hang up the Christians have about sex.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean really tragic to see that, to see,
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: you know, a war in this region. It's not even
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: clear what for why?
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: What the hell?
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: I can't tell you that I can say who the
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: good guys are and who the biad guys are.
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: You know, I don't think this is a war Cambodia once.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: So it's hard for me to believe they would be
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: the instigators because they don't have any chance against the Ties.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, they just don't have They don't have the army,
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: they don't have the weapons systems, they don't have the ability.
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, maybe China comes to help them, but China
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: says good relations with Thailand, so I find it hard
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: to believe that they will take too strong of a
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: side in this conflict. So just a just a a
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: bad situation, talk about bad situations, talk about bad situations.
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: Anaki's Middle East policy is a complete sham. It is
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: absolutely ridiculous. Right, and Donald Trump had the president of
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: Syria over to the White House, lavish praise on him,
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: established diplomatic relations, took all he sanctions on them. And
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: this is a man, the president of Syria, who used
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: to be a member of al Qaida and in isis
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: used to be a commander in Isis. Now he says
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: he's reformed. This is a man who says he wants
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: peace with Israel and he's not going to do He's
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: against kind of ethnic cleansing within Syrias, against going after
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: the minorities. He's given up on his old Isis thing.
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: And yet early on when he took office, there was
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: massive slaughter of the Bath Muslims.
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: These are Shiat Muslims.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: The Bath is a minority with this Syria who actually
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: ruled Syria. I mean the Asuds were from the Bath
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: party and they were just slaughtered, thousands of them killed.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: There was massive killing, of attempts to oppress the Jews
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: and kill Jews. If not for Israel stepping in and
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: protecting them, who knows what this regime would have done
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: with the Jews. And now, on a military parade this weekend,
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: Syrian forces, you know, paraded through the streets of Damascus
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: shouting Gaza, Gaza, a rallying cry victory in steadfast night
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: and day, we rise against you enemy. We rise from
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: mountains of fire we make our own and from blood
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: I forged my ammunition, and from blood rivers will flow
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: all targeted against of course, the Zionist enemy. So this
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: is a regime that claims to want peace with Israel,
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: yet this is kind of the marching, you know, kind
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: of the marching yell of its forces as.
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: They patrol.
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: One of the best things Israel did during the last
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: two years in the war is when the Aside regime fell.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: The first thing Israel did was a win into Syria,
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: but particularly from the air, but not only from the air,
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: and basically eviscerated all the weapons systems that the Acid
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: regime had. All the heavy weapons that they had were destroyed,
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: not all of them because in this in this video
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: you can see some, but many of these might have
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: been provided by the Tooks, the Tooks and allies of
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: this new Syrian regime. The Tooks of course hate Israel.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: Eldergan is an Islamist or kind of a quote moderate Islamist,
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: but he's a hater of Israel and he is backed
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: is the main back of this of this Syrian regime,
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: and he's also brought out U ABN as a backers.
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: The United States is completely friendly with them and encouraging
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: Israel to not intervene, not bomb Israel has brought in
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: forces to a demilitaryized zone between Israel and Syria and
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: to kind of create a big up buffer between it
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: and these potential these Islamists between this new Syrian government.
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: Israel is demanding that the whole area between Damascus and
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: the border with Israel d be demilitarized. The Syrian government
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: is saying, no way, this is an area where there
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: will be conflict. The Israel has a massive advantage over
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: the existing Syrian regime, so it's not a big problem
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: from Israel. But it could be just a pesky problem. Uh.
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: And we know that in the era of drones and
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: missile it could become a problem if these guys get
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: armed with thousands of drones and thousands of missiles. Hopefully
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: Israel will be on its toes in making sure they
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: do not. And one of the main things is all
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: needs to do is keep the Tooks out of there.
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: What they don't want is the Turkish army inside significant
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: parts of Syria, or the Turkish army is probably already
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: in northern Syria. But look, this is kind of a
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: crazy American policy, providing the Turks with the most advanced
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: American weapons systems possible, while the Tooks advocate funny Islamist
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: ideology that is clearly anti American and anti Western. So
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: this is not America first to arm enemies. But of
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: course the new National Security Strategy document doesn't identify Islamism
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: or Islamists, or jihadism or slimming totalitarianism as an enemy.
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: The United States is super friendly with Kato.
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: I mean cash Patel.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: Just signed to MEMORANDUS of understanding with the Qatari Minister
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: of the Interior to expand joint training, intelligence sharing, and
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: security corporation with Kata, probably the number one front of
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: terrorism in the world for the last twenty years, thirty years.
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: The United States is going to provide them with intelligence
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: sharing and security corporation and joint training. I mean, used
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: phone policy in the Middle East is nuts, it's bunkers.
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: We are arming and helping and supporting and hugging and
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: embracing our worst enemies. Cattel is part of our worst enemies.
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, the Gaza plan was always absurd and ridiculous
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: and was going to fall apart. There's no plan right
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: now to dissolmn Hamas. There is no plan to even
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: confront Hamas. Any international stabilization force won't even go into
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: Hamas area itself, that'll be in the area that Israel controls.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: No countries are willing to fight Hamas. Took Kinkata, which
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: are included in the Gaza nation building project, are not
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: only pro Hamas, but there are promoters of Hamas terrorism.
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is the dumbest plan in history. Now,
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: I'm happy that all the hostages were released. Now it's
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: time for Israel to go in then clean up, finish
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: the up. But the Trump administration is not going to
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: let them do it. This is peace, this has ceasefire,
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: is or can't start the war up again. The whole
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: Middle East policy of this administration is a disaster. In
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: spite of it's you know, momentarily partial successes. Syria's going badly. Tuki,
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: as I said, is only getting stronger. And the alliance
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: between the United States and Kata is really embarrassing. And
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: you know, Trump said he had the executive voted. He
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: said that in the future he's going to designate some
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, not the one in Kato,
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: not the one in Tuki. The biggest supporters of the
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: Muslim Brotherhood in the world. A farm policy that makes
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: no sense but it's this is But you know, this
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: is the greatest president, one of the greatest presidents in
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: all American history. His phone policy must be excellent, brilliant, stunning, amazing,
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: and by the way, better than Biden's. Better than Biden's.
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: Therefore he should get a gold star. Gold star. It's embarrassing.
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: It's embarrassing that this is even considered a pharm policy.
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: All right, let's see what happened to this? Uh there
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: it is okay, so uh. Another one of the great
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: achievements of this administration is, of course, tariffs and the
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: significant decline uh in, or the attempt to create significant
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: decline in US trade. And a lot of people, some people,
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: not a lot of people, because most people didn't see it.
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: Some people thought that Trump tarifs would be like smoot
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: Holly and had the potential of driving the world into
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: great recession and depression. You will remember that I never
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: said that. I never argued that I didn't think they
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: would have that kind of economic effect. But a lot
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: of people were worried about it. And one of the
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: reasons it hasn't happened. There are many reasons it hasn't happened.
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: One of the reasons it doesn't happen is because in
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: nineteen thirty, when ste Holly was passed, twenty five other
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: countries imposed retaliatory tariffs. They triggered in a worldwide trade war,
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: not just with the United States but among each other,
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: which basically resulted in everybody shooting themselves in the leg
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: and ultimately everybody collapsing into a great depression. The real
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: value of world trade in the post Smooth Holly period
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: dropped by more than sixty five percent from twenty nine
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: to thirty three, by sixty five percent. The reality is
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: that people everywhere in the world, with exception of the
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: United States, are just smarter today. They know economics better today,
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: so there was.
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: Very little retaliation.
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: Even China now even though we've got what taifts on them,
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: they put ten percent on us, like they're not going
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: to match the insanity of forty percent.
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: They're not going to shoot themselves in the leg.
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: So people no more. They understand trade, so they are
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: not imposing retaliatory tasks at the same levels. They're not
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: engaging in a tariff war, and they're not doing it
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: to one another. Indeed, quite the opposite is happening right now.
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: Countries around the world are increasing trade with one another.
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: We talked about this, but the fact that China has
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: now reached a trillion dollars of experts, you know, but Canada,
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: as I recognize that the US is to quote their
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: Prime minister, no longer reliable partner.
• 58:10
  Speaker 3: True, and they are pivoting to other relationships.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: They they went, I met with the Chinese.
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: They've got you know, good dialogue going over with Chinese,
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: and they want to increase trade with China.
• 58:23
  Speaker 3: They want to increase trade with Europe.
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: They've established some kind of you know, defense thing with
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: Europe where defense industries are going to share information.
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: To work together.
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: It's also today much much cheaper to shift trade around.
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: It's very cheap to move products from China anywhere in
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: the world, from Europe anywhere in the world, from Canada
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: anywhere in the world. Shipping is super cheap, you know,
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: massively cheaper than it was in the nineteen thirties. We
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: also have the ability through fed XUPSDHL to move small
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: item stuff all.
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: Over the world.
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: So if Americans not buying, or Americans is gonna you know,
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: Americans are going to buy less because the prices have
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: gone up just move it elsewhere. The cost of fate
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: has gone significantly down, the cost of communication has gone down,
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: and therefore new discovering new markets has become much much easier.
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: Uh So we're seeing that right Chinese exports to Southeast
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: Asian nations has gone up by sixty one percent. To
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: Japan and Korea it's gone up forty one percent, To
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: Africa it's gone up thirty five percent, to the European
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: Union it's gone up twenty eight percent, and to India
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: and Latin America it's gone up ten percent. So countries
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: are just reshuffling. Indeed, because of America and hostility towards
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: India and the fifty percent tariffs that we inflicted on them,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: India has become much more chummy with China in spite
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: of their vote a dispute, and there's much more trade
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: between India and China than there was before, and there
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: will be much more in the years to come. In
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: other words, countries are redrawing trade alliances. Companies are seeking
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: new markets, and they're all just going around America. Now
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: that's not cheap for anybody, because the United States is
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: the largest economy in the world, but what choice do
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: they have when Americans don't want to trade, when Americans
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: want to commit suicide, when they want to commit harakiri
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: in the name of what. Nobody exactly knows the whims
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: of Donald Trump. Now, there's an excellent editorial up ed
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: in the Wall Street Journal from two days ago, written
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: by the two authors that I've cited before as writing
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: really really good stuff and Trade, the best stuff and
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: Trade in the Wall Stat Journal, Phil Graham, former senator
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: from Texas, and Don Boudreau, the economist from George Mason University.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: You know this is this is the final paragraph, and
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: they were all bad. Expanding world trade built the modern world,
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: liberated Eastern Europe, won the Cold War, and expanded America's
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: prosperity and influence. Building a tariff wall around America won't
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: stop trade. It was simply devoted. If tarifs remained high,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: America's wealth and power will wane while that of other
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: countries will grow. And that is the truth. There's an interesting,
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: interesting election in Miami yesterday. I guess Miami has been hey,
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: I guess it wasn't yesterday before yesterday, but maybe it
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: was yesterday. Miami was being a Republican. You know, it's
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: been read for thirty years. A Democrat has not won
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: a Mayo race in Miami in thirty years. This is
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: dominated by Latin Americans who know the evils of communism,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: who have supported Republicans consistently, Cubans, Venezuelans, and others who
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: have been big supporters. This is a county that went
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: for Trump in a huge way in twenty twenty four elections.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: You know, it's and yet and yesterday, for the first
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: time in thirty years, Democrats won the mayo race.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 3: By the way, in Georgia.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: In the state of Georgia, Democrats also flipped a Republican
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: seat in a county that went in a district that
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: went twelve points for Trump. Maybe there's an anti Trump
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: backlash brewing. I mean, the winner ran on a non
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: partisan kind of ticket, but she's affiliated with the Democratic Party.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: She beat the runner up. You know, her name is
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: Eline Higgins. The runner up was Amelia Gonzalez. He was
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: a former Miami City manager. He ran as a republic
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: basically a Republican, and she beat him fifty nine to
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: forty one. I mean, it wasn't as well as a
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: small thing. It seems like maybe there's a shift in
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: the country. It seems like maybe twenty twenty six is
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: not going to go Republican way. Maybe that's why Donald
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: Trump is on the road telling us we shouldn't want
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: thirty seven dollars. I don't know, he's trying to do
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: damage control. I'm not sure thirty seven dollars. Reducing the
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: number of dollars Americans promise their kids is a winning strategy.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: We'll see. He's he's very successful politically. See, you never know.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: All right, this is a funny story. It's it's really
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: it's funny and stupid all at the same time. But
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: this is the story about Seattle's You know, the US
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: is hosting the World Cup next year, and they're gonna
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: be games all over the US, Canada, and Mexico. I
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: don't know if the teams will have to pay a
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: tariff as they move between the countries, but there are
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: gonna be games, and Seattle decided that one of its games,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: the game one of the games in Seattle. I don't
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: know if there's more than one, but one game in Seattle,
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: the one on June twenty sixth, will be designated a
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: Pride Night. This will be a game to celebrate LGBTQ whatever.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: They'll be rainbow flags, there'll be odd installations, it'll be
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: a big community partnership, there'll be the works will be
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: fun stuff. Fun stuff is gonna be happening at the
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: stadium in Seattle for the World Cup during the World
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: Cup twenty twenty six, and they're gonna celebate you know,
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: probably they're gonna celebrate LGBTQ. You know, fine, it's Seattle,
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: after all, you'd expect it. But this is where it
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: gets funny and ridiculous and stupid.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: Guess who's playing that game.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: I guess they didn't know this in advance, but now
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: we know who's gonna be playing that game. It's gonna
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: be a very LGBTQ friendly match because the two teams
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: playing the match are Egypt versus Iran. Now, just you
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: understand in Iran, homosexuality is punishable by flogging, imprisonment, or death.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: I'm not even sure the Ranians allowed onto a stadium
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: where they might be so gay people. I mean, Iwon
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: executes people for sodomy. Now you know, in Egypt has
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: debauchery laws and they imprison people for same sex up
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: to up to three years. Law enforcement uses dating apps
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: to hunt people down. If they gave Seattle's response, once
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: they realize Egypt Youan, they said, cool, let's do it.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: Suk has a unique power to unite people across borders, cultures,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: and beliefs. This match reflects our ongoing commitment to respect,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: dignity and unity of all. I yeah, this is beautiful.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: We'll have, you know, a stadium full with Seattle progressives
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: chewing on. I don't know one of the teams, Egypt
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: or you wan, which team do you want to chew on?
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a spectacle. I hope, I really,
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: really really hope they broadcast this match live. I mean
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: right now, they've got these photos with the LGBT rainbow
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: colors in the background and players from Iran and from
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: Egypt on the front. I mean, can you imagine what's
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: going on in Iran in Egypt? Can you imagine how
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: offended they are? I mean, I have to say the
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: given how offended the Iranians and Egyptians must be because
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: of this, I am hugely in support of this. Anything
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: to offend the Iranians, I'm good with anything that offends
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: the Ranians. All Right, this last bit is just interesting, right.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: So this is about public executions. This is the topic
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: right now at the fullfront of intellectual debates in America
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: right now, and really all because of what is going
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: on with the with the war on you know, on
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: people on people supposedly having drugs in their boats and
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: being summarily executed by the US. So this is this
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: is I'm going to read you a Twitter chain of
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: responses and then we'll get to the actual topic of
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: public executions. Anyway, some guy named Andrew Corvette, who is
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: a Christian, proud father, TPSU spokesman, a spokesman for TPSU,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: executive producer of The Charlie Cook Show, and son of Nevada,
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: an American with an American flag right there. An American,
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: real American. Maybe he's a heritage American. I don't know.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: Two hundred and fifty plus thousand followers. Anyway, he tweeted
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: having new attack aimed at Pete hegseth makes me want
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: another Narco drug boat blown up and sent to the
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: bottom of the ocean. I mean, these are macho guys.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: This is t Stowstone, full filled masculinity. These are real Americans,
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: bloodthirsty Americans. They want to see those drug dealers drug boats.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: They want summary execution for a bunch of people, no trial,
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: not stopping the boat to see if there are any
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: drugs on it, just blow them out of the water.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: It's so much fun to watch those bombs drop, the
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: boat blow up, and knowing that people who might maybe
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: be smuggling drugs not to America because they can't reach America.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: But don't let facts interfeel with your feelings. Watching them die,
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: that just makes they dad anyway. Peak he says, says whoops. Peak,
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: Hex says, tweets back your wishes out Command Andrew just
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: sunk another knacko boat. Wow, they're so cool, these guys.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: Claire Leman, now Claire Leman is the is the founder
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: and I think publisher of quinn Let, Quintet quin quint
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: Let magazine, online magazine, quinn Lett. She is the founder
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: and editor, a contributor in a writer. She writes a dispatch,
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: she wates for others. She is a She is one
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: of the Quintlette was one of the first publications left
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: or right. She she's on the right that came out
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: against Woke, that made a big deal out of Woke.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 3: They exposed it for what it was.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: Uh, you know, they've been writing kind of they've been
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: anti left for a very long time. They've been really
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: big and uh, you know, she has been kind of
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: at the forefront of of of the debate about the
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: evil of the left right, and and her publication often
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: has you know, pretty good, pretty good stuff. May he
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: could you get in the left, but good stuff anyway. Anyway,
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: she wrote, this is grotesque, and I look, and look,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: I get it that sometimes hard men need to do
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: ugly things. But if you're going to do this, don't
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: broadcast it and don't brag about it. Right, So she's
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: like saying, you know, really, this is pretty ridiculous what
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: you're doing. Right. So Joe Loansman Lonsdale, and I know Joe,
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: and I'm friendly with Joe. So just for the record,
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: Joe Lonsdale, who is the founder and the money behind
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: and the founder of the University of Boston and Texas,
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: writes this in response to Clay. He writes, she's just wrong.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: Leftist school mom leaders cause violence.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 3: And evil in our civilization.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: She's no lefty. Sinking knocker boats publicly helps deter others,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: as does hanging repeat violent criminals. Killing bad guys is
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: department of war job. He should drag more masculine truth, bold,
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: virtuous men, deter evil, and then he goes on. If
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: I'm in charge later, we don't have a three strikes laws.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: We will quickly try and hang men after three violent crimes.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: And yes, we will do it in public to deter others.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: Our society needs balance. It's time to bring back masculine
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: leadership to protect our most valuable, most vulnerable. I mean,
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: that's the stance. We need public executions again. Bring back
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: public executions. We need to have public hangings. We need
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: to show pictures everywhere. We need to take our kids
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: to watch this stuff, because that's what masculinity did my hands,
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: and that deturs crime. Again. I'll note we do not have,
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: you know, public executions anymore. Indeed, we haven't had public
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: executions in the United States in a long time. We
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: still execute people, but we do it in private. We
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: don't make a big deal out of it, and we
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: don't invite an audience, maybe a small audience of the victims,
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: but we don't do it publicly. And in spite of that,
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: crime has gone down not a Indeed, the first part
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: of the world that, you know, public executions.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 3: So let me just say.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: Claire then has published in quinnlad a article which I
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: highly recommend because I think it's really really good, called
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: public Hangings and the Politics of Virtue. She says, Joe Lonsdale,
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: this is the subtitle Joe Lonsdale wants public hanging restored.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: History shows they failed. Western societies became safer and more
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: abandoning and after abandoning brutal spectacle justice. So she talks
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: about the fact that, you know, not that long ago
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: in Europe there were regular public executions, I mean regular
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: several times a week. Many of them actually involved also,
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: you know, much more than just hanging. They involved torture.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: They involved what do you call it, drawn and courted.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: You know what drawn and courted is. It's when they
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: tie a rope to each one of your arms and
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: each one of your legs, and each rope is tied
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: into a horse, and they rip you apart. The horses
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 2: rip you apart, and then after they rip you apart,
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: they told you some more and you die slowly, right yea? Anyway,
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 2: and this is all done in public. And people used
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: to used to go, They used to go publicly and
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: they they used to cheer, and they used to they
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: used to being their kids to see this, And yet
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: violent crimes during this period was really, really, really high. Indeed,
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 2: you could argue these kind of public executions kind of
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: desensitized people to unbelievable violence. I mean, most people today
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: couldn't stomach seeing somebody drawn and corded. I mean, you
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: literally would get physically ill. And maybe that's the fact
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: that we get that way from seeing extraordinary violent crime.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: Maybe is one of the reasons violent crime is down.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, the guillotine one was introduced during the French Revolution,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: was considered incredibly humane because there was a quick death.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 3: And of course when they did.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: That chopping people's heads off, crowds used to form to
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: come and watch it, including you know, and this is
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: the thing about masculine and feminiti most of those crowds,
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: those crowds are often more women than men. And indeed,
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: during the French Revolution of the guillotining, there was this
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: a collection of women who used to sit next to
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 2: the guillotine watching this while they were knitting, while they
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: were needing knitting during the Reign of Terror, and they
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: have reduced violence in society there's no evidence of that. Indeed,
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: Stephen Pinker shows in Better Angels on Nature, a book
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: I highly recommend, highly highly highly recommend, particularly the first
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: two thirds. He shows that in both and Biblical, medieval
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: and early modern times, lots of things will punishable by death, sodomy, gossiping, stealing,
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: picking up sticks on the Sabbath, talking back to parents,
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 2: criticizing the old Garden. During the last years of the
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: reign of King Henry the Eighth in England, there were
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: more than ten executions in London every week, every week
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: that woulduce crime. And then things changed. Things changed during
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: the Enlightenment, the Age of reason, the age of individualism,
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: the age of respect for individual dignity, individual rights, and
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: people started having more respect for human life. Death penalty
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: was reduced significantly. People started recognizing that the death penalty
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 2: might actually be an example of the atrocity it's supposed
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: to discourage people from committing. I mean. Voltaire wrote extensively
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: about the evils of cruelty and the futility of executions.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 3: That you have again, rights and dignity.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: Too cold in Europe and slowly public execution and ultimately
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: executions generally were abandoned so for example, by the mid
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: nineteenth century, public executions no longer could across most of
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 2: Europe if capital punishment was carried out done behind closed doors.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: By the mid twentieth century, most European nations that abandoned
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: capital punishment altogether. Now by Joe Lonsdale logic, this would
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: result in a spike in moder rates, a spike in violence,
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: a dramatic increase in violence. And yet Europe has some
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: of the lowest homicide rates in the world. Japan has
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 2: no public executions and there's almost no murder in Japan,
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: same with South Korea.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 3: They don't drain quart of.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: Their people, they don't hang them in public, and there's
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: no violent crime. Violent crime is not a consequence of
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: not executing people in public. Violent crime is a consequence
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: of a rotten culture, of a cultural rot And you
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: don't improve the culture by blowing people up by having
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: no respect for human life.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 3: Blowing people up in boats.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: No procedure, no declaration of war, no real legitimacy. According
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: to Pinkers Pinker Rights in Better Angels, nature of Stephen Pinker,
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: abolition of public execution far from reversing centuries long decline
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: of homicide proceeded in tandem with it, and the countries
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: of Western Europe, none of which executed people, have some
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: of the lowest crime homicide rates in the world. One
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: of the great achievements I think of Western civilization of
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: the Enlightenment is getting rid of the savagery and the
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: celebration of death that is involved in public executions. The
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: Iranians still public execute people, so do the Saudis and
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: the Islamist regimes.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 3: Is that who we are?
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: Something is failing me here? On second? Is that what
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: America is. We're rejecting Western civ to embrace kind of
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 2: a medievalism. I mean, I'm against the death penalty generally,
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: primarily because too many innocent people get caught up in
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: it and land up dying. But so I reject that penalty,
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: but I certainly reject the idea of doing it in public.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: Let's just go task. It really is uncivilized. But our
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: new kind of robust, right wing masculine I think that
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: public execution is going to solve a problem. Public executions.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: It's what's going to make America, you know, a bat
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: more prosperous, more successful. Now, it's true that when you
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: have super lenient laws against criminals, crime increases. It's true
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 2: that punishment does have a role in detruing crime. That
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: is a far cry from demanding public executions. Yeah, I
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: put more police out into the streets. Yes, three strikes in,
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 2: you out three violent crimes, throw away the keys, lock
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 2: them up for life, or you know, if somebody commits murder,
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 2: and it's really unequivocal.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I have no problem with the death penalty, but making.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: A public spectacle of it, why would anybody go see it?
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: And what does it say about you if you want
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: to go see it other than somebody who's directly related
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: and might want to see the justice done directly. Public
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: executions never helped, They never stopped crime. What stopped crime
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 2: was a change culture rule of law. And what we
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 2: need is the rule of law, not the kind of
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: crazy leftist policies you know San Francisco, Chicago and other
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: cities have engaged in. We need to be tough on crime,
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: real crime that doesn't evolve blowing up random boats. Well
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 2: maybe they're not random suspicious boats in the Caribbean. That
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: sends the message that we are law less, that we
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: have no respect for the rule of law. Yeah, I
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 2: mean with I'm with Claire, I'm not with Joe. Sorry Joe,
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 2: now with Joe Lonsdale. All right, that, my friends, is

• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: I have the one couse debate me. You're on stop
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 2: running away. I'm not running away. I just see no

  Speaker 2: value in debating you. There's just zero value for me.
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 2: I'm an egoist. I know there's value to you. You
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 2: would get a huge bump in your breach, but there's
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 2: no value to me.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 3: Gaale, thank you for the sticker. Cynic Quick, thank.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: You for the sticker. Let's see what did I want
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 2: to say? I want to say something. Oh, yes, Sunday, Sunday,
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 2: I'm not exactly what time, either one or two pm
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 2: East Coast time. We will have a member's only show
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 2: members only. You can become a member on YouTube. This
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 2: is YouTube members only. The fact that you give to
• 1:29:22

• 1:29:27
  Speaker 2: the way YouTube book. You have to be a member
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 2: on YouTube. So what a lot of people do is

  Speaker 2: a member five dollars a month, and then you get
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 2: this benefit of having access to all the member show videos,
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 2: including the live shows. This show I'm going to do
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: on something that Michael has asked me to do for
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 2: a while now, I don't know a year now, and
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 2: I'm finally going to do it, and that is We're
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 2: going to do the show on an Ironmand essay. The
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 2: Ironmand essay is the missing link, the missing Link. It's
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 2: in Philosophy Who Needs It? So check out Philosophy Who
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 2: Needs It? The book. You might be able to find
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 2: a copy of the essay online, but ideally get the
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 2: book and we will go through that essay and discuss it.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 2: So come hopefully prepared. You can come just to listen
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 2: is fine, but ideally to get the most out of it.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: Come prepared and participate and ask questions and engage in
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: a back and forth. It is a great essay. It's
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 2: an important essay. It's an essay that explains much I
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: think of the modern world. So the essuy is called
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 2: the Missing Link, it's in Philosophy Who Needs It? And
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 2: we will be doing this on Monday. So Michael, you
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 2: get your wish. I hope you, hope you have a
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 2: chance to participate live. All right, let's start with Clark.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 2: Who's got a fifty well seventy dollars questions a fifty
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 2: dollars question in two parts Part one, you say, Nick
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 2: foyents is still marginal. More people go to Silicon Valley,
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 2: in Wall Street, et cetera. But look at the trends
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: in the culture. Big tech is being ruthlessly attacked while
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 2: Fuentes is being propagated. He gets three million views from
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 2: Piers Morgan. That would not have happened ten years ago.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 2: Stephen Crowder would not be promoting Nick unless he saw
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 2: this is what his audience wanted. The direction the culture
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 2: is going is Nazism, not Silicon Valley. Look, it's true,
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 2: and I told you that I was shocked by how
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 2: many people in Silicon Valley were, in a sense supporters
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 2: of Fuentes and Yawn and white supremacists more broadly. So,
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 2: there's no question that this is a force in the culture.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 2: It's not a dominant force in the culture. It's a
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 2: dominant force on social media. It's a dominant force among people.
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 2: It's a dominant force among people who who.
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 3: You know, who like to troll. It's a dominant force.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: In Twitter, but in social media more broadly, there's no
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 2: question about that. And as I've talked about, it's a
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 2: dominant force among Republicans of a certain age. Republicans in
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 2: their twenties, maybe in the early thirties. Gen Z's and
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 2: millennial Republican men not very popular among women at all.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 2: Given Nick Foytus's attitude towards women, they shouldn't vote, they
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 2: should stay at home. I wouldn't expect many women to
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: support Nick Foyenttis's point of view. So it's men young,
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: and it's the social media now I don't know. And
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 2: the men that attracted this are primarily men involved in politics. Again,
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of people hard working, they're raising families,
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 2: they're engaged in life, the dating. They don't have this
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 2: attitude towards women that Nick Foyntas says. Remember, the number
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 2: of people following Foyntis is exaggerated by bots and by
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 2: fake accounts from all over the world. Although a lot
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 2: of people are watching him. There's no question, so I'm
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 2: not saying he's not a force. I talk about him
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 2: a lot, not about him, but I talk about the
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 2: phenomena a lot on this show because I worry about
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 2: it because it's a real threat. It's a real threat
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 2: to our lives, a prosperity, a piece. You know, these
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 2: people are dangerous and they're nasty and it's really bad.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 2: Right So, yeah, Jennifer says, the video is only for
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty five is audio only, not anymore.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 2: We basically allowed everybody to do video, so you can
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 2: do video with twenty five as well, and the street
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 2: the demands for participating on the panel in the ammy.
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 2: Uh so, yeah, it's a threat. We should take it seriously.
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 2: We should combat it. We should provide alternative values to
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 2: these people. We should try to educate people about how
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 2: nasty this is. And sadly, the way Peers Wogan approached
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 2: it was the wrong way. I mean basically just made
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 2: fun of him and ran circles around him at the
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 2: end of the day, right, I mean, Piersmogen thinks that's
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 2: say that if you say you're racist, that's a win.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: But it turns out it's not. They don't mind the
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 2: term racist. And Piers Morgen thinks that he says Hitler
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 2: killed twelve million people, that doesn't make Hitler cool. These
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 2: people think he's cool partially because he killed twelve million people.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 2: And Nick Frantis, even though in the interview he kind
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 2: of says, yeah, I believe Hitler killed six million Jews,
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 2: maybe seven, maybe eight, was making fun of the whole attitude.
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 2: I don't think he's a holocaust and I he's always
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 2: been one. He's been one. He's an anti Semitic racist,
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 2: which he admits fascist. That's what he is, and so
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 2: you're not gonna score points against it by having him
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 2: on your show. The only thing to do is to
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 2: point out to people the consequence of these ideas and
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 2: to offer an alternative. It's suddenly worthwhile making clear that
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 2: some of us think these ideas are horrific, disgusting, unacceptable.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 2: And part of doing that is not interviewing people like
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 2: Nick Frantis. It's deplatforming him, absolutely deplatforming him saying this
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 2: is not civilized. It's not civilized to sit down and
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 2: have a civilized conversation with a monster and his idea
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 2: is a monstrous and Nick Foints is very smatsy couches
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 2: and in positive but there is a real problem with
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 2: the young generation. The young generation is some of them
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 2: are attracted to this now. Is it a majority of
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 2: the young generation. No, I don't think it is. That
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 2: was my point yesterday when I said, don't be too pessimistic.
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 2: It's that most people under the age of thirty four,
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 2: called the young are not attracted to Nick Fointis. The
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 2: number of people that are is scary. It's too big.
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 2: But it's still not a majority. It's still not a
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 2: significantly sized minority. But it's way too big, and we
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 2: should fight it. We should really fight it. We can't
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 2: stay silent about it, all right, Michael. Many people have
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 2: warned about the likelihod of civil war in the streets.
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 2: It hasn't even once come close to happening. But if
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 2: America starts taking their racism and tribalism as seriously as
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 2: Stephen Miller wants them to, I don't see how it
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 2: doesn't happen. Well, I mean, it only happens if people
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 2: are willing to fight against them. People were not willing
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 2: to fight against that kind of attitude in the nineteen
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 2: thirties Germany. You know, it took a long time for
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 2: Americans to be willing to fight in order over Slavy
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 2: and even then fighting of it over it. I'm not sure,
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 2: is that popular? How many civil wars are broken out
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 2: because of stuff like this? I don't think they have.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 2: Often people learn to tolerate it. One of the goals
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 2: of the New Right is to desensitize us. I mean,
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 2: the whole point of ICE is to desensitize from us
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 2: from acts of violence on a regular basis in our
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 2: streets by the authorities. Stephen Miller and Ferentis and all
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 2: these guys are there to desensitize us from racist arguments
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 2: and anti semitism so that we never rise up in
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 2: a civil war. So the fear is not a civil war.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 2: The real fear is civil war means that some people
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 2: who opposed and are willing to fight for it. The
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 2: real fear is much worse than a civil war in
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 2: a sense is the nobody rises up to fight it,
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 2: and people just accept it, and they were with it,
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 2: and we just wake up one morning and we're in
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 2: an authoritarian state, fully authoritarian state, right chasbudd Could Ellen
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 2: Ripley from eight to oh this is from a previous show?
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 3: Could I guess it's still hanging out here?
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 2: Could Ellen Ripley aliens have been happy if she stayed
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 2: on Earth rather than return to the alien nest to
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 2: finish them off. Her case is different because she was
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 2: having constant nightmares about her experience. Yeah, but you know, okay,
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 2: so she returned. She was not guaranteed success. I mean,
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 2: the odds of a succeeding were actually pretty small. She
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 2: was probably gonna die. And did she completely eliminate them?
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 2: Did she finish them off? Well not according to Aliens
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 2: three and four and five and six and seven or
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 2: whatever sequels they have been, So.
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 3: She didn't even succeed.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 2: So if she'd stayed home and lived a comfortable life
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 2: and maybe you know, sought our therapy to try to
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 2: eliminate the nightmare, is maybe she could have achieved a
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: happy life. I'm not sure that the past she took
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 2: is one that ultimately will achieve happiness. Doesn't she die
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 2: after Alien three and then get resurrected. Isn't she like
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 2: a Jesus character that is sacrificed and then comes back
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 2: to redeem the human race or something like that? That
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 2: ain't happiness? Shasbad asked, is Trump building Project X project
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 2: dex from Adel shrugged? I won't say what it is,
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 2: but no, I don't think so. I don't think so.
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 2: I don't think he's building anything that file. He's building
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 2: a police force that he can rely on to oppress us,
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 2: not that he will use, but that one of his
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 2: one a future president, will be able to easily use. Wes,
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 2: thank you for the fifty dollars. Really really appreciate the
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 2: stick up. Thank you, Gail, Thank you, Curreneric, thank you.
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 2: And then who do I just see Stephen Harper, Thank you, James.
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 2: I think Booma as a put down means life was
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 2: easy for you back in the day when cost of
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 2: living was low and women you their place. You have
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 2: no idea how it is today to move forward in
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 2: this world.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 3: Maybe that that's what it means. I doubt it.
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 2: I was hearing Boomer, you know, the alt right started
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 2: with I think. I think probably in the twenty sixteen
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 2: twenty seventeen I started hearing Booma kind of used. I
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 2: don't think it was used that way. But yeah, generally
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 2: life is easy back then. But that's bizarre by every standard,
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 2: maybe with the exception of cost of housing, but everybody
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 2: understand it, and maybe the exception of women, although I
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 2: think for men, women were always hard, particularly or kind
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 2: of more geeky men women were always hard. It was
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 2: never easy. Women knew their place. I mean, god, I'm
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 2: a boomer, right, My wife didn't know her place, whatever
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 2: that place is. That's absurd of ridiculous. So maybe that's
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 2: what it means, but it's stupid. I mean, boomers made
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 2: less money in their twenties than gen z does a
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 2: lot less. They owned less stuff, they had fewer opportunities,
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 2: they had fewer good jobs. In every respect, their world
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 2: was much harder. They were poorer. The angst the gen
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 2: Za's experience is mostly created by their own anxiety.
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 3: And is a result.
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 2: Of them believing, wanting instant gratification, and not being willing
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 2: to work for it. About life today, almost everything about
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 2: life today is easier than it was sixty years ago.
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 2: I mean I lived, you know, a family of four.
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know. A first apartment that my parents had
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 2: was tiny, two bedrooms, one bathroom, maybe maybe five hundred
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 2: square feet, and then maybe we went to six hundred
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 2: square feet, and then we got, you know, we got
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 2: kind of a really good position, and we moved into
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 2: a twelve hundred square feet thirteen hundred square feet apartment
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 2: that had four bedrooms and one bathroom.
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 3: But now, there were six of us.
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 2: So it's just that's how we grew up. So this
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 2: notion that gen Z has it so hard, I mean,
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 2: they're just spoiled brats. Now, there is a problem in
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 2: the culture which I think they are mislabeling, and that
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 2: problem is they've grown up in a world of helicopter parents.
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 2: They've grown up in a world of helicopter governments, government
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 2: that intervenes in every aspect of their life. They've grown
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 2: up in a world that is much more statists. They've
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 2: also grown up in a world that is going to
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 2: load them up with a lot of debt. But you know,
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 2: and to some extent they're feeling that now. And part
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 2: of that is the relatively low economic growth that they're experiencing,
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 2: but they still is positive economic growth. They've grown up
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 2: in a world with no values, with no principles, with
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 2: no pride, with no self esteem. They grow up in
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 2: a world where everybody get ribbons. So look, they're screwed.
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 2: Gen Z is screwed. Just not in the way they
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 2: think this screwed. This screwed because they've been pampered. They
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 2: screwed because they got ribbons. They're screwed because they didn't.
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 2: They didn't. They weren't allowed fail this scooter because they
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 2: were never left alone this scoop because the government has
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 2: grown and taking on huge debts to fund my retirement,
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 2: mysol security, my medicare with their money. Yeah, in that sense,
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 2: they're screwed. But he's got nothing to do with affordability.
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 2: It's nothing you can do with the life is hard
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 2: for them. It's got nothing to do with women. I mean,
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 2: half of gen Z are women, and their lives are
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 2: much better now than they were sixty years ago. They
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 2: have many, many, many many more opportunities. And why should
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 2: we ignore the women. I mean, that's us a bizarre
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 2: that we should only focus on the men, and the
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 2: men have more opportunities than they've ever had before, including
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 2: actually meeting a dagny like I don't get it you
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 2: eat outlets, shrugged and ima want to marry a wife
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 2: who who who doesn't have an opinion and stays in
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 2: the kitchen and raises your kids and and but never
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 2: doesn't do anything as a kind of woman you want?
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 2: Don't you want to marry a dagone or the equivalent
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 2: of ad agony or somebody with self esteem, somebody with
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 2: with with a passion, somebody who has opinions, somebody who
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 2: stands up for themselves, somebody who does interesting things and
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 2: have expresses interesting opinions. Am So you know God, I mean,
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 2: that's the thing they were. These men were pampered. These
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 2: men are soft, and because they're soft, they want women
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 2: that will disguise the fact that they're soft.
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 3: They don't want to.
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 2: Live up to a woman. They want to live down.
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 2: They don't want to be challenged by a woman because
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 2: they don't want to be challenged, because they don't have
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 2: to self esteem to be challenged. One of the whole
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 2: role of women in a man's life is to challenge you,
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 2: is to make you better, It's to inspire you to
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 2: be better. You could argue a man's role in a
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 2: woman's life is similar, but certainly for a man, a
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 2: woman is there to inspire you to be better, to
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 2: inspire you to be the best that you can be.
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 2: But I guess men don't want that because that's scarce,
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 2: the that's demanding. That means you have to do something
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 2: with your life. Andrew Trump last night at Israeli mused,
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 2: why can't we get normal immigrants like from Denmark or Scandinavia.
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's an special bigot though he's getting closer,
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 2: but a nasty collectivist with racial bias thoughts. Yeah, no,
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 2: he's absolutely a racist. You know, he's not a he's
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 2: not the worst kind of racist, but he is a racist.
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 2: He thinks of people in terms of race and skin color.
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 2: He is definitely a bigot and he's definitely a collectivist.
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 2: What does racial bias mean if you're not a bigot,
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 2: Racial bias implies bigotry. So he's a bigot, and he
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 2: thinks that you know, what made this country are Danes
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 2: and Scandinavians, but they're you know, if anything, what made
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 2: this country are Germans. The more Germans here, the Danes
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 2: and Scandinavians combined. But the more Italians, the more span
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 2: You know, there are plenty of Spaniards, are lots of Mexicans.
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 2: The Eastern Europeans, lots of them, and they get a
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 2: lot of the Nobel price prices. Don't get that many
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 2: Nobel prizes to Scandinavians and Danes, not nowhere near as
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 2: many as Eastern Europeans. And you know, God forbid Jews.
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 2: But yes, he's he's I've told you this for ten years.
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 2: He's whether he's a racist or not. He knows how
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 2: to play to the racism of his crowd, of his audience,
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 2: of many of his voters, many of his voters. Michael,
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 2: have you noticed a rise in your own popular popularity?
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 2: You have a lot of strong defenders in the comments
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 2: section of your newly released interviews and lectures. Where do
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 2: you see yourself and the movement in ten years? You know,
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I haven't noticed the rise of my popularity,
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 2: although it might be there. I'm eager for the days
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 2: where I am invited by dozens of organizations to come
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 2: and give speeches and I can't keep up right now,
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 2: that is not the situation. By the way, if you
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 2: want to invite me to come and speak to your business,
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 2: to your tra organizations, to to your university, please do
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 2: and in many cases, if it's a university, it won't
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 2: cost you much. So please consider. If if there's a group,
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 2: any kind of group any place, but particularly on campuses,
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 2: please consider inviting me to come and speak. I'm trying
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 2: to fill up my schedule for next year. I'm looking
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 2: for invitations anyway. I mean, maybe my committed followers are
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 2: more aggressive these days, are more engaged, are willing to
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 2: go out there and defend me and interviews and lectures.
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 2: There's no question I'm more known now than I ever was.
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 2: You know, I think I told you that my debate
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 2: with the Socialist some of the Socialist students came up
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 2: to me and said that they've seen my videos on YouTube.
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 2: They knew who I was, and they had a certain
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 2: respect for me, even if they did disagreed. So yeah,
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think I'm more known but popular, I mean, yes,
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 2: but is it substantially greater than it was? I don't
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 2: know where do I see myself in ten years.
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 3: In the movement. I don't know about the movement.
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 2: It's it's very hard for me to tell because I
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 2: think the culture is declining the right and the left
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 2: and free fall, and so I don't know where the
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 2: world is in ten years. And if it's how to
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 2: tell where the movement is in ten is?
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 3: I think we grow, we continue to grow.
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 2: I don't think it turns exponential any time between now
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 2: and then. I don't think we suddenly have this massive increase.
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 2: I wish I wish it did. I would love to,
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 2: you know, triple my supporters and my subscribers, but primarily
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 2: my supporters. It would be nice to triple the income,
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 2: you know. That is my goal, ultimately, is to triple
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 2: the income I get from this show. That will be
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 2: a huge indication of success and and popularity. Uh Can
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 2: I do that in ten years?
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 2: Maybe double, uh, maybe triple. But it's it's gonna be
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be really really really hard, you know, And
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 2: I and I and I sometimes don't know what it's
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 2: gonna take. There's some months where I get a huge
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 2: number of not a huge I get a decent number
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 2: of additional subscribers. Like right now, I'm getting a nice
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 2: steady flow of subscribers. Maybe that's because of some of
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 2: the interviews I've done recently, Maybe because I'm more active
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 2: on Twitter. I don't know, but there's a nice increase
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 2: in subscribers, not massive, but a nice increase. Other months
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 2: I have nothing. It's zero or negative. So and I
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 2: don't know exactly why it's it's hot. I don't see that.
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 2: I haven't figured out the exact cause of relationship. So
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 2: I think we'll be I'm pretty sure. I'm sure we'll
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 2: be bigger, more influential, more substantial, more passionate followers. But
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 2: whether it's it's already game changing, whether it's exponential in
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 2: any phase of exponential growth, I just don't know. I
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 2: hope so.
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 3: I would like to believe.
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 2: So. I also hope that it ten years a lot
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 2: more objectivist public intellectuals out there doing what I do
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 2: and things similar to what I do. That you don't
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 2: know where to look, because you know, across the entire
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 2: YouTube dial there are dozens of these objectives talking and
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 2: you don't who to You know, there's so much good
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 2: material you do know who to follow. I hope you'll
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 2: stay loyal to the Rue Bookshow right as you as
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 2: you you know, expose yourself to new objectivist intellectuals. Lincoln,
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 2: I'd happily donate to environmentalist groups who buy the national
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 2: parks if they got privatized. Yeah, I would too. I
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 2: think that's an old question he had a few days ago,
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 2: like numbers six nine thoughts on Trasinski running for Congress
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 2: as a Democrat. Oh, I didn't know he was doing that.
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 2: Look I I you know, I disagree with Trissinsky on
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 2: certain issues. I certainly disagree with Trasinsky on his support
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 2: for the for the Athletic Society, and uh, since I
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 2: think has has shown an incredible amount of disrespect to
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 2: me in the distant past. But you know, his stance
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 2: on Trump has always been good. His stance on Trump
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 2: right now is particularly good. He is one of the
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 2: best commentator out there about Trump. He sees him for
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 2: the evil that he really is, and I.
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 3: Give him credit for that.
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 2: And uh, yeah, I'm happy he's running. Uh he'll get
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 2: some good ideas out there. The fact that he's running
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 2: as a Democrat, I don't care, it doesn't make any difference.
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 2: Certainly couldn't run as a Republican. I mean, I think
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 2: he's got more chance of attracting some attention from reasonable
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 2: people on the Democratic side than he does on the
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 2: Publican side.
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 3: The Republican side right now is hopeless. It's just hopeless.
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 2: It's completely dedicated to the tribe of Trump. So maybe
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 2: a little bit of shock therapy on the other side,
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 2: criticizing Trump and coming out for Elizafey capitalism will wake
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 2: some Democrats up advocating for a reason.
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 3: So yeah, good for him.
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 2: You know, Lincoln Gaffney, I just just embrace, Oh, he says,
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 2: just embrace the nostalgia of the fifties when my grandma
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 2: had two dresses when she was a girl, and grandfather
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 2: had three pairs of shoes, and they only had two
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 2: dollars between them, only had two dollars. I mean, that's
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 2: what Trump plant's right. It's so off. I have to
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 2: make exhaust I have to make exhaustion of choosing between
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 2: my many pairs of Nike Jordan's, and my sister has
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 2: too many dresses to choose from. Well, don't worry, because
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 2: Trump is going to limit you to two pairs of shoes,
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 2: one pencil, and two dollars, and you can't have more
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 2: than that dresses. I don't know.
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 3: I don't know what Trump's.
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 2: Plan is for how many dresses is okay, But I'm
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 2: sure he has a plan. The new nationalism will reduce
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 2: your choices just like communism did. Don't worry about it, Lincoln,
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 2: My future careers are right. In public intellectual is weak
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 2: and feminine. What thank goodness, Trump will give me a
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 2: super manly steel manufacturing job. Weak and feminine, Not at all.
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 2: It's strong and masculine.
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 3: You're gonna be.
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 2: Standing up in front of audiences and inspiring them to
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 2: make their lives better, what can be more masculine? And
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 2: then that, what's your opinion of Trump leaning to providing
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 2: Turkey with f thirty fives. I mean, he's pretty much
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 2: committed to doing it them in Saudi Arabia, and it's
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 2: a horrible idea. I think Turkey should be kicked out
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 2: of NATO. I think Turkey should be viewed as a
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 2: potential threatened enemy, you know, as long as it has
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 2: a political party and a president, a politic party in
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 2: the majority and a president who are Islamists, which Oduan is.
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 2: I think it's hollow. Liam. A lot of alt right
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 2: meaning and trolling came from Silicon Valley. Unfortunately, it isn't
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 2: the case. That's super smart people are automatically immune from
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 2: hate in the iriationology, that's true. But super productive people,
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, look at the Lund Musk so this is
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 2: immediately refute what I have to say. But super productive people,
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 2: for the most part, super productive people, and they don't
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 2: they don't. They're not this.
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 3: Superficial when it comes to politics.
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 2: I don't think. I mean, I just are not so
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 2: anti intellectual. Maybe I'm wrong, but and again my experience
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 2: in Silicon Valley is not that good. But I expect
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 2: again what we see the vocal minority. I'm curious about
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 2: what the majority actually thinks. Ryan. Can Congress defund ice
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 2: if there was a majority in favor of it.
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. They actually dramatically increase the funding vice by something
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 2: like sixty billion dollars. I think it went from something
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 2: like twenty to eighty or something like that, so massively
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 2: increase the funding vice, but they could decrease it Roland
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 2: in the nineteen fifties, the Communists were aiming to make
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 2: hungry the land of iron and steel and telling people
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 2: they didn't need to eat that much much. It didn't
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 2: end well for them in nineteen fifty six. Now, but
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 2: remember that's what Mao tried to do to China. It's
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 2: why all these people left their farms and were starving,
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 2: because they were supposed to make steel an iron, and
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 2: they were supposed to stop farming. Farming was primitive and
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 2: the Communist will get industrialize.
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 3: And that ended.
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 2: With twenty thirty forty fifty million dollars, fifty million people dead.
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 2: We don't know exactly what the number is, all right,
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 2: We have moved into the third hour, so we are
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 2: thirty dollars only thirty dollars short of our second hour goal.
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 2: So let's at least make the second hour goal given
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 2: them way in the third hour. Sob about a couple
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 2: of twenty dollars questions or twenty dollars a ten dollars question,
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 2: or three ten dollars questions. But let's let's get over
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 2: the hump, hop a Campbell. Will the future of dictatorships
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 2: be soft dictatorships? People won't be starving in the streets,
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 2: and we'll still have access to Wi Fi. But if
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 2: the powers to be don't don't like you, you will disappear.
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 2: I think it's going to be yeah, Chinese Russian type.
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 2: There's more freedom in China than in Russia type authoritarianism.
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 2: I think Putin is a model. People's quality of life
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 2: will go down. They won't stop in the street, but
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 2: they and maybe they'll have Wi Fi. But there won't
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 2: be any progress. They won't advance, it won't get better,
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 2: There'll be stagnation and there'll be lack of freedom. I
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 2: think that's that's right. I think that is the future
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 2: in the medium term. In ten twenty three years, Ryan
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 2: in Canada, representatives can cross the floor and join another
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 2: party to swing votes to Parliament. Why doesn't this happen
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 2: in Congress? You would think bipartisanship would against Trump would
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 2: be on the rise. It has happened in the past many, many,
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 2: many times. I mean it still happens periodically today. But
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 2: it won't happen unless Trump approves it because Republicans are sheep.
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 2: They are completely tribal, and they won't let it happen.
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 2: There may be two or three Senators who dare vote
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 2: against Trump, but that's it, and that's not enough to
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 2: get anything substantive past and in the House almost nobody
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 2: is willing to stand up to Trump. So it's the
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 2: tribalism that Trump is inspired. But in the past there
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 2: was a lot of bipartisanship, usually bad in a sense
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 2: of more statius regulations, but it was bipartisan.
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 3: Loan to center.
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 2: A new inn Ran collection called Collectivism and Obituary. Conservatism
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 2: and Habituary should be published with their Essay on the
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 2: Right and Essays Writers and uncomrent issues simultaneous with the
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 2: third edition of the New Left. That's a good idea.
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 2: That's a good idea. I'll float it to some of
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 2: the people at the Iron Ran Institute Clark says, why
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 2: is they Friant so much more effective than Richard Spencer
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 2: at spreading his white nationalist nihilism.
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 3: I think because fint this is funny.
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 2: I think it's because he's he's got this constant smoke
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 2: in his face. He's got more charisma, which expensively just
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 2: didn't have any charisma. And hey, Coointess has charisma. He
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 2: is a much better communicator. He's on every day. He
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 2: talks to young people in their language. He understands them,
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 2: he appeals to them, but he uses a lot of
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 2: humor and he is not afraid to challenge all the
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 2: sacred cows. But do it in a way where he's
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 2: half serious, you know, do it in a way that
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 2: I think appeals to a audience that grew up on
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 2: on the Simpsons and on what do you call that
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 2: other show? The show that ridicules everything everything? What was it?
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 3: It's still going today.
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 2: They're making fun of Trump now, the guys who made
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 2: a book of Mormon south Park. I mean, he he
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 2: he is so appropriate for generation and grew up in
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 2: south Park. He has he's just just cynicism about everything
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 2: and everything's okay, everything's okay. To make fun of everything's okay,
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 2: to believe in everything's okay, to challenge everything's okay, to yeah, everything.
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 2: And I think that's that's the that's the South Park generation,
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 2: not your's algorithm. With Trump, there is no grand ideological
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 2: strategy like with Hitler. It just ranges of the moment
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 2: corruption and power lusting that that very well could fizzle
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 2: out when he's gone. Yes, But then the question is
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 2: will it gets off into somebody more ideological, like Jdvans,
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 2: or like somebody on the left that we haven't discovered
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 2: yet that could siphon that energy to some authoritarian project
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 2: project on the left. Nachavi's algorithm says people like Gavin McGinnis.
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 2: I think I was on a show once and I
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 2: was making such good arguments and immigration that he couldn't
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 2: answer that he basically disconnected me.
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 3: Anyway.
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 2: People, the video is online somewhere. People like Gavin McGinnis
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 2: and Stephen Crowder are touting for Intis as a genius
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 2: far we handled perm Morgan, whereas Bill O'Reilly and other
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 2: boomer Republicans are the ones attacking the Fentis phenomenon. Yeah,
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think people who are connected to the
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 2: younger generation, people who have that more cynical attitude, people
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 2: that are willing to flirt with racism, anti s sematism,
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 2: fascist ideas a much more. I mean sadly, it's the
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 2: Bill O'Reillys of the world that made frantis possible, that
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 2: made the whole phenomena possible. I've talked about that, right,
• 2:05:13
  Speaker 2: but yeah, I can see that Stephen Crowder would would
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 2: do that, right. I think matn Waalish if he, if
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 2: he wasn't a daily wire, would be much more supportive
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 2: of Gevin of affluentas. Uh. This is how they're thinking
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 2: is now. Whether the phenomena coffuents it don't grow from here,
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 2: but where it'll peak and then crash, I don't know.
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 2: But the general willingness to embrace or to at least
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 2: tolerate Holocaust denying neo Nazi types, that.
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 3: That's going to grow.
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 2: That's going to grow, I think it says nineteen twenty
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 2: nineteen seventy was the worth fiftyeth period for the country.
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 2: Seventeen seventy to eighteen twenty was founded. This country went
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 2: west from eighteen twenty to eighteen seventy. Industrialization from eighteen
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 2: seventy to nineteen twenty was industrialization and digitalization from nineteen
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 2: seventy to twenty twenty.
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with you.
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 2: Nineteen twenty to nineteen seventy is probably the worst fifty years.
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 2: Loan Descenter. Everyone who reread and listened to Iran's Photo
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 2: Forum Talk and Nations Unity sadly never anthologized and available
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 2: as text only in the ARII ladup the anadote to nationalism.
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 2: YB should do a show on it. It's a good idea.
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 2: I should do a show on a nation's unity. It's
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 2: a great essay. Let me just do something on said
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 2: all right, Andrew Stephen Miller is a good art to
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 2: motivated fear and hate. He practically yells when he preaches.
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 2: Would you call his further being passionate or does passion
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 2: the note values? That's a good question. I don't know
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 2: it's I think it is passion. I don't think passion
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 2: of the notes in might general he could. I mean
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 2: he's he's it's fear and hate that motivate him. But
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 2: I think he can be. It's presented as a value
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 2: in some sense. By the way, you can listen to
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 2: a nation's unity on nine Man Institute website. Just put
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 2: a Nation's Unity uh in Google and you'll get the
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 2: recording of her talk. James thoughts on Mamdanni closing Rica's Island.
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 2: Is the jail too inhumane or reopen or is this
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 2: a major act of nihilism and destabilization? You know, I
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 2: don't know, and it depends what he does. Are those
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 2: innates going to go to a different jail? Are they
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 2: going to be released into the public. I mean, I
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 2: think it's too early to evaluate Mumdannie as nihilistic or
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 2: not and what exactly will happen. I don't think Rica's
• 2:08:30
  Speaker 2: Island in and of itself tells us much. It has
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 2: a bad reputation as a pretty rundown jail and a
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 2: horrible place. But what does he do with the inmates
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 2: and what does he do in the future is going
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 2: to be much more telling in terms of is he nihilistic?
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 2: Ryan Puerto Rico is over ninety five percent Christian. Does
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 2: this dominate dominance of religion have an impact on territories
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 2: progress and growth? Is there any downside when living there? Well?
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 2: I mean they celebrate all the Catholic holidays and they
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 2: invent a few to add, just to take time off.
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 2: They are quite left wing, which is true of most
• 2:09:15
  Speaker 2: Catholic communities outside of the United States. So in that
• 2:09:21
  Speaker 2: sense it has an impact. I'm sure it has an
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 2: impact on the fact that it's not very functional island.
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 2: I'm sure it has an impact on the prevalence against of.
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 3: Leftist ideas.
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 2: No cista but.
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 3: Low productivity.
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I would need to know a
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 2: lot more about the workings of Puerto Rico to be
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 2: able to tell you, and I just have not doven
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 2: into it. It has an awful tax system, terrible regulation
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 2: system that then coves out special programs of different industries.
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 3: And that's who comes here.
• 2:10:02
  Speaker 2: So Kim says, to play Devil's advocate, isn't Stephen Miller
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 2: talking about illegals who can't speak English bringing down test
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 2: goals in schools? Well, first, if you meant that, he
• 2:10:13
  Speaker 2: should say so. But his argument, you know, doesn't certainly
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 2: doesn't play with regard to crime, because illegals, even illegals,
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 2: have lower crime rates than Americans. What was the third
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 2: the thing? He yeah, I can't you remember. Maybe it's
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 2: sure illegals sending their kids to school, lowering test scales.
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 3: Maybe that's right. I don't know. I don't know how
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 3: true that is.
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 2: And yeah, make them legal and the encourage legal immigration,
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 2: and my bet is it will have very little effect
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 2: and test scores. And look, the real problem of education
• 2:11:04
  Speaker 2: system is education system. It's our teachers in the curriculum.
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 2: It's not the population of kids. What is it about
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 2: immigrant kids that can't do math? Nothing, There's nothing about
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 2: them that precludes doing math. There's nothing about him, that
• 2:11:23
  Speaker 2: about being an immigrant that precludes getting a good score
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 2: in any test. So you've got to say it's the teachers.
• 2:11:32
  Speaker 2: Even if they were legal, why would they drag down
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 2: the scores? I think that is suggestive of bad teachers
• 2:11:42
  Speaker 2: and bad curriculum, bad administrators.
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 3: Lincoln.
• 2:11:47
  Speaker 2: Maybe Trump will bring back the supermanly sport of gladiator matches.
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 2: It's so much or watching it for entertainment for the emperor. Yeah,
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 2: as long as the lions eat the illegal immigrants, right
• 2:11:59
  Speaker 2: that that that's the new that's the new gladiator sport.
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 2: Jonah sitting aside Thomas Massey's bill, should the United States
• 2:12:09
  Speaker 2: remain in NATO or should it plan and eventually withdraw
• 2:12:12
  Speaker 2: and limits an involvement to cases where core American interests
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 2: are at stake. I'd be saying this for many, many decades.
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 2: I think I believe the United States should leave NATO.
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 2: It should do it in an organized, thoughtful way over time, and.
• 2:12:30
  Speaker 3: Yes it should.
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 2: It should limit its involvement to cases where core American
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 2: interests are at stake. It should do it, but it
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 2: should make it clear that that's what it's doing, and
• 2:12:39
  Speaker 2: that it will leave over a period of five years
• 2:12:42
  Speaker 2: or ten years old. You'd have to You'd have to
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 2: know a lot more about the situation to determine how
• 2:12:47
  Speaker 2: and when it should be done. But yes, I do
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 2: think in the end, the United States should leave NATO.
• 2:12:54
  Speaker 2: Europe is too rich. It's not competing in the United States,
• 2:12:58
  Speaker 2: but it's too rich compared to Russia, let's say, to
• 2:13:02
  Speaker 2: need American help to defend itself.
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 3: James says, keep on keeping on.
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure what keeping on means, but I'll try
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 2: to keep on, all right, Lincoln. I saw a New
• 2:13:14
  Speaker 2: York Times article complaining about how not enough young men read.
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 2: I've noticed young guys see reading as weak, feminine, gay,
• 2:13:24
  Speaker 2: which is sad.
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that is pathetic. It's worse than sad.
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 2: You can't know anything Without reading, you remain any gnoramous
• 2:13:33
  Speaker 2: without reading. Even listening is not the same. Listening to
• 2:13:37
  Speaker 2: audiobooks is not the same as reading. You should read.
• 2:13:41
  Speaker 3: Everybody should read.
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 2: When you're young, you should read, read, read, read, read,
• 2:13:44
  Speaker 2: read read. That's manly because it's the pursuit of knowledge
• 2:13:50
  Speaker 2: is manly, Lincoln, there are eighty million American men from
• 2:14:00
  Speaker 2: eighteen to thirty four, even five percent of profiantis that's
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 2: four million men. Yeah, But the seventy six million men
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 2: who are not profiantists, it's a big number, way too big,
• 2:14:15
  Speaker 2: no question about that. Some of the least masculine men
• 2:14:18
  Speaker 2: I know are obsessed with going to the gym, being misogynists,
• 2:14:23
  Speaker 2: very fragile masculinity. Yeah, masculinity is associated with self esteem,
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 2: with courage, with ability to face reality and deal with reality.
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 2: It's not about going to the gym, and it's suddenly
• 2:14:37
  Speaker 2: it's it's very non masculine to be a misogynist. Women
• 2:14:43
  Speaker 2: should be adored and respected and admired and loved and
• 2:14:52
  Speaker 2: so on, you know, not treated badly. Treating women badly
• 2:14:57
  Speaker 2: is a very unmasculine fear. Matt, I wanted you to
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 2: come to speak to my office in New York City
