  Speaker 1: I'll lattels and individual loss. This is the show. Oh right, everybody?
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Welcome to you one book show. Well I was sure
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: that was needed anyway, Welcome dalon book show on this
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: uh Wednesday, April twenty nine. Let me know picture audio
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: if it's all good. Again, broadcasting to you from a
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: hotel room in Austin, Texas, where I uh will be
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: teaching in a little while. Again, so maybe a little
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: shorter uh program uh on the days when I am uh,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: when I'm teaching. The theme sounds a lot different today,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: louder brasher. Yeah, I don't know. I ask. I'm just
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: in a brashy mood. Maybe that's it. I have no
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: idea why. Alright, let's let's jump in. Do I need
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: to remind you guys of anything? Is there any Uh
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: audio is kind of a little tinny, but that could
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: just be for me. I think it's just for you.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: The same thing happened yesterday. Somebody complained, but it seemed
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: like it was Yester him. Anybody else thinks the audio
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: is teeny It's basically going through the same mechanism as
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: it did uh yesterday. I teach from five pm to
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: seven pm every day. Uh. This week and then Monday
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Tuesday next week, and then they've got a final exam
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday next week, all from five pm to seven pm.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: So that is when a teach. It's a it's kind
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: of an add on course to the to the regular curriculum.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: So the only way to fit it in was to
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: do it at night. But uh, but yeah, right, let
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: us let us jump in, uh and talk about what's
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: going on in Iran. You know, there's not a lot
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: new Trumpet deministration seems to have rejected the Iranian proposal,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: which was I think obvious because it basically the Ranian
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: proposal was you open up, you open up baskets for
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: radio ships, will open up the streets and homoes and
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: sometimes in the future we'll talk about the nuclear program.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I mean that would be that would be complete capitulation,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: which Trump is capable of doing, but not quite yet.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: So Trump supposedly has told this people to prepare for
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: a long term blockade of Iranian oil uh and uh
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: and and be able to sustain it over the long run. Also, again,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of speculative stories out there, so take
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: this for what it is. So so say sources are
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: also saying that Trump would like to hit Iran militarily
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: hard to do, a few days of bombing really really
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: hard to kind of, I don't know, shatter them into compliance,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: and then try to negotiate again. So the idea is
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: to restart the wolf of just a few days and
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: then take a break and try to negotiate. So, you know,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: some people saying that's in the cards. Hard to tell.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: You know, a short and powerful wave of strikes. This
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: is on axious based on based on sources within the
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Trump administration. The strikes, which would likely include infrastructure targets,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: would then put more pressure on the Ranians to cut
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: a deal. And but his Trump sees a primary means
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: of leverage is the blockade over the strots of straits
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: of homos. In the meantime, or prices continue to rise. Indeed,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: you know, oil today, given this, given this story, skyrocketed
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: right to some of the highest rates we've seen since
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the beginning of the war. West Texas. Texas oil is
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: up to one hundred and seven dollars a bow. That's
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: up you know, almost ten bucks in the last two days.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: So remember it was under eighty I think when everybody
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: thought they'd be a negotiated deal. Now there's no negotiated
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: deal and prices are going through the roof. So yeah,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Central Commands supposedly is has already prepared a plan for
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: big time attacks. Supposedly the others supposedly is that they're
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: waiting for King Charles. King Charles used to be prince
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: now he's King King Charles too, to leave the US
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: so that the war doesn't start. What he's here, I'm
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: not sure when that happens. Maybe today, So the expectation
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: is the war the war will restart on over the
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: weekend with a big blitz, powerful blitz, and then another ceasefire. Again,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see if the Uranians play play
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: ball on their plan. It does, it does require them
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: to play ball. Now here's a here's a twist that again,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I believe this story. Actually don't
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: really believe this story, but it is, it is being reported,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: and uh, it has some credibility. Uh, here's the story.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: A Chinese naval fleet is reportedly heading to the States
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: of Homoes to escort oil tankers through the US blockade.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Remember ninety of Iran's oil exports go to China. Could
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: you imagine a US Chinese naval standoff in the Silverman
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: or in the Indian Ocean or somewhere around there. I
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: hope it's a full story now. Of course, I was
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: advocating in day seven of the war that the United
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: States should cut a deal with the Chinese to help
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: open up the States of Homoes and to bring their
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: navy over and to escort chips out, not Iranian ships,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: but Uree ships, Saudi ships, ships transporting oil out of
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the streets of Homoes. I think the incentives were aligned.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure Chinese would have agreed, probably not, but
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: it is pretty spooky that if this is true, I'm
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: not looking forward to stand off between the Chinese navy
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: and the US navy, and I don't think the Chinese
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: want that, so I really I think this is probably false,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: but we'll see anyway. Nothing is passing through the States
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: of Homoes right now. Again, the Iranian ships are blocked
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: by the US. Some of them are sneaking by along
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the shore of Yuan in Iranian waters, into Pakistani waters
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: and into Indian otters waters and escaping. So some are
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: getting around the billcade and in terms of the States
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: of Homoes, proper non Iranian ships. Nothing is coming through, right,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: it's completely dead. Remember in March one hundred and fifty
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: four ships past the streets of Hoemoes every single day,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: every single day. So yeah, we'll watch this China thing closely,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: if it materializes, if it happens, if there's anything going on.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Iran has a growing challenge of storing and exporting its oil,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: and this is what Trump is counting on that will
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: force them to the negotiating. There's some oil wells where
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: there's some signs that they might be burning off the
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: oil rather than capping the oil well. And because they
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: don't have storage control in Iran seems to be pretty
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: solidly placed in the Islamic Revolutionary God Corps Commander Major
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: General Ahmad Vahiti, and he does not want to give
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: up control of the states of Homos, and he does
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: not want to give up the nuclear program. And if
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the economy starts collapsing, and we'll talk about that in
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: a minute, will that change Vahiti's mind. He's a fanatic.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: It's hard to tell. It's really hard to tell. The
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: other interesting thing is that the Iranians are getting ready
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: preparing for protests. The economy's deteriorating, massive unemployment, layoffs, private
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: businesses shutting down. The economy is dramatically struggling, and they're
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: afraid that because of the economic deterioration, the social pressure
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: is going to intensify and that will bring about that
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: will bring about added protests. The regime seems to be
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: preparing itself for that, and they will be as brutal
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: towards the protest as they have been before. While Vahidi
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: is in command and in control, there is definitely infighting
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: between different hard line factions. I remember, everybody's a hardliner
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: over there, everybody's an Islamist, everybody's affiliate with the IOGC.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: But there are more pragmatic and less pragmatic hardliners, pragmatic
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: here being willing to cut short term deals. One publication
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: differentiates between pragmatic hardliners and ultra hardliners. But there are hardliners,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: and so there's a lot of conflict within the Iranian
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: regime that will only intensify if their demonstrations we will see.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: In the meantime, Iran is getting help from Russia and China.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Pakistan has opened up a number of paths, a number
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: of roads into Iran that could transport stuff from China
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: by road, maybe even by train. It's pretty amazing that
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: the US is It's so typical though, the US is
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: using the Pakistanis as some kind of neutral arbiture when
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Pakistani is clearly helping the Ranians when it comes to
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: at least providing passage for material to go from China
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: to Ruan. You think that the United States would have
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: the self esteem, the balls, the courage to actually stand
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: up to the Pakistanis and say no, I mean, and
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: certainly not treat them as neutral arbitors in such a case.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: The economy in Yuan is spiraling. It's in a death spiral.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Businesses are closing, Unemployment is sowing, food is becoming increasingly unaffordable.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: It's not clear how much more pay in Yuan's leaders
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: are willing to tolerate. Now they are sure taking care
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: of so it's mainly the people, and it doesn't seem
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: like the Uranian leadership cares much about the people. Now.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: You know, the Auranian government has raised wages, is subsidizing
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: basic goods, and it's handing out cash to the poor.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: But all of that is causing inflation. They're putting money,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: it's the only tool they have, so you know, people
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: are people are upset and pistaff and struggling, and and
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: there was real angst. I mean, remember that the protests
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: in January broke out because of economic concerns, because the
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: economy was doing so poorly and because inflation was so high.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: All of that is much much, much much worse today,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: as all see Journal Rights. Iran's economic meldown predates the war,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: crippled by years of US and international sanctions. I love
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the way they do that, or maybe crippled by the
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: authoritarian regime running Iran and the fact that under authoritarian
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: regimes economies don't thrive. Typically they continue they collapse in
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the value of the local currency and fast rising prices
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: triggered mass anti gunment protests at the turn of the year.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: There is even crush the protest with lethal force. The
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: economic woes that underpinned the protest have worsened since the
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: start of the war, raising the possibility that the unrest
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: could flare up again. So expect or it's quite possible
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: that we will see we will see protests soon in Ayran.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: All right, let's see what else they don't. Yeah. In
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: the meantime, the closing of the Gulf of the Gulf
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: of the States of Amos is causing a variety of
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: different problems globally. There is a rationing going on by
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: some not rationing, but airlines are canceling air flights, particularly
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: in Europe and in Asia because of a lack of fuel,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: of airplane fuel. A lot of that refined oil that
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: is airplane fuel comes from the Gulf. So you're seeing
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: you're seeing real challenges. You're seeing challenges in place like
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: the Philippines and other parts of Asia where they're just
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: not getting enough oil to be able to run cars
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: and everything else. So there's a there's an attempt by
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: the government to ration those things. Fertilizer prices are spiking,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: which is hurting primarily the poor countries. So you know,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: you know, fertilizers, fertilizers necessary for growing food. A significant
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: amount of the fertilizers come from the Gulf States, and
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: you know that production and export has fallen sixty percent
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: the start of the war. And you're seeing countries around
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: the world struggle with we're going food and this will
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: be very difficult to fix quickly. Right, this is fixable,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: but it's difficult to fix quickly, So global food supplies
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: are hampered, you know, again primarily i Deitay in Asia,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: place like the Philippines, but also as far away as
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: South America. So real challenges in terms of the global
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: food supply, food chain, and food supply. With regard to fertilizer.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: We've talked about helium for chips. We've you know, there
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: are many many by products of oil. They kind of
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: are out of the refining and out of the various
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: facilities in the Gulf that are just not making in
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: a market and that's gonna that's gonna have significant consequences.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: The United States is trying to increase its production of
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: any of these things primarion natural gas to LNG. That
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: takes time. But uh and and there's a kind of
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: restructuring of energy markets around the world as a consequence.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: But energy is everything, and everything is is tied to energy.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: And uh so there's a lot of a lot of challenges,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: a lot of economic challenges, and a lot of real
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: world kind of food challenges out there. Lastly, just to
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: give you a sense of how bizarre and crazy anymorel
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: the world in which we live is, the United Nations
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: has just elected Iran the Islamic Republic of Iran as
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Brice as vice president of the Nuclear Non Proliferation Review Conference. Unbelievable.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, last year, this very committee that Iran is
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: not vice president of found Iran to be in violation
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: of the committee's policies, and now Iran is vice president.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Now it is true that a number of delegates opposed this,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: but look, because the UN is majoritarian rule, and you've
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: got all these countries, all these countries voting. Yeah, it's
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: pretty amazing. So there were objections by some European countries
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: by the UAE, but at the end of the day,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: it was decided that Iran is now vice president the
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Nuclear Non Proliferation Review Conference. The world is bonkers and
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: the UN is an email stupid, ridiculous, evil institution. Evil institution. Yes,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: that's exactly what it is, all right. Just as we
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: move forward, I just want to remind you that we
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: have targets. Today is the day before last for April,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: so we only have two more shows, one more show
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: tomorrow for April. So to achieve our April goals and
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: to achieve our daily goals, i'd appreciate your support. Those
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: of you who are here live on YouTube, and those
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: of you are not on YouTube, coming over to YouTube.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: You can support the show by doing a sticker. You
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: can support the show even more by asking a question
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: that'll enhance the show itself because it gives content to
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: the show. And yeah, generally you can be traders with me.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: You listen, I provide value and you provide me with value.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: The value I value right now is dollars, So please
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: consider supporting the show. We have a target of two
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars an hour, and yeap jump in particularly.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: I can see we've got a few questions like the
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: five to ten dollars level. We need some twenty fifty
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: one hundred dollars level questions to really get us going.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: All right, some more kind of bizarre crazy stuff going on.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Remember remember in twenty twenty four, I think it was,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: that the International Criminal Court issued a arrest warrant for Billiu,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Minuitaneo and other Israeli leaders. And this was based on
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: a recommendation by a prosecutor, Kareem Khan, who made the
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: case that you or Israel was committee war crimes and
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: therefore the Nataniel should be arrested. Well, it turned out
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: that after Kareem Khan made these allegations. He was shortly
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: afterwards he was accused of sexual assault. As a consequence
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: of that, he took leave in May of twenty twenty five,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: and this month the quote's governors voted to advance disciplinary proceedings.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: So it looks like he really was involved in sexual assault.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: But now more interesting in a science, more more relevant
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: put it that way. Now has come forward a witness
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: statement that the Katari government Kato member Kata us ally
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: friend of Donald Trump, gift of a four hundred million
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: dollar playing to Donald Trump. Those kataris now witness statement
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: says the Katari government promised to quote look after mister
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Khan if he moved against Israeli Prime Minister n'taniel. Now
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: this all builds on a Katari and sorry, the Guardian story,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: the Guardian newspaper that linked Katari private intelligence operation with
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: you know, in an effort, So the Katari's basically hired
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: two firms hoping to discredit mister Kahan's alleged sexual assault
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: right or discredit the victims. So Kata was acting on
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: behalf of mister Khan to try to get him off
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: the hook on the sexual assault charges. But it seems
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: like the whole, the whole case to issue of restaurants
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: against N'tonielle was basically motivated by Kata, who at the time,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: by the way, was being used by the United States
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: to negotiate with between Hamas and Israel a cease fire.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: The new witness statement is by a person familiar with
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: the operation who requests anonymity, but according to the Wall
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Street Journal, this is quite credible and that it has
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: supporting audio recordings. The statement has been submitted to the FBI,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: and there's been a request by several members of Congress
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: for the FBI to investigate. So, yeah, I mean a
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: lot of swirling around this ic C and the influence
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: the Katari government has on them, and the illegitimacy, if
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: you will, of the prosecute. You know, the restaurant against
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: against Nintenno. Now it was illegitimate all the way based
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: on the merits, but now it turns out that it
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: was it was manipulated supposely in recordings and private investigators
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: discuss an intelligence actubation on behalf of Kata, which is
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: the client the clients, And yeah, I mean, this looks
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: pretty pretty bad for Kareem Khan and for the whole
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: ICC prosecution anyway, that is, that is on the ICC,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: but Kada is in the news for other things as well.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: KADA has become the largest overwall DONA of US colleges
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: and universities since nineteen eighty six. It has spent six
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: point three billion as of late twenty twenty five. Over
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: two billion of those that money flowed from Katak to
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: the US between twenty twenty one and twenty twenty four alone,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: So KATO has been the top funder of universities in
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: the United States since the early two thousands. Now much
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: of that money, much of that money is you know,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: likely is funding the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: or funding branches of affiliate networks of the Muslim Brotherhood
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: in the United States. Kato is today the home of
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: the Muslim Brotherhood, the main funder of the Muslim Brotherhood.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: The you know, it holds on the Muslim Brotherhood's main
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: what do you call religious leaders. It funds the Muslim
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Brotherhood networks in Europe, and it seems like it's funding
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: the promotion of Muslim Brotherhood ideology in American campuses. You know,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: people complain constantly about a to Israel and a Pac
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: influence money and lobbying. Karta is like, what does a
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: magnitude bigger than APAC? What does a magnitude more influence
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: on what is going on in American universities and in
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: American politics than Israel does? So it's pretty amazing. It's
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: interesting to look at the list of top foreign funders
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: of US colleges and universities from nineteen eighty six to
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Number one is Karta, Number two is China,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Then it's Germany, England, Canada, and then Saudi Arabia, Japan, Switzerland,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: fans and Bermuda. Bermuda's yeah, that's not the Bermuda government.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: I'm sure Bermuda is too small. So anyway, Kata is massive.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: It also does it's the number one lobbyist. And it's
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: stunning that nobody talks about it. And it's all the
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: talk is focused on on APAC and on the Jewish
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: influence on American policy, and and nobody really talks about
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: the massive impact that the Katawis have. And and you
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: don't give it how much money they spend, I'm sure
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: they get something in return. All right, let's see yesterday
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: it was a there was a stabbing of two Jewish
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: men who was seriously wounded in North London. This is
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: the latest in a kind of flurry of anti Semitic
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: incidents in Britain. The police have arrested a forty five
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: year old man in connection with the attack. One assumes
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: he is Muslim, but but I don't, you know, I
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: haven't got I haven't seen any verification of his identity. Luckily,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: there was a Jewish community security organization that works in
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: this neighborhood. This attack took place in a Jewish neighborhood
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: and they were the ones that kind of apprehended the
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: suspect and or the perpetrator and awaited, you know, held
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: him until the police police arrived. This is this is
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: one of a wave of these kind of anti Semitic attacks,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: just you know, a day before on Tuesday, a Golden
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Greens Golden Green is again is a Jewish neighborhood in London.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: A Golden Green's memorial for the victims of October seventh,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty three was targeted in an Austin attack. So
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: somebody tried to burn down the memorial. A couple a
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: few weeks ago right Jewish ambulances a Jewish ambulance service.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: The ambulances were firebombed and both burned down to synagogues
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: and a Jewish owned shop has been attacked in recent weeks,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: and a man pleaded guilty this week to racially aggravated
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: assault on an Orthodox Jewish man. The police are investigating
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: where a group that has claimed to to believe some
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: of the awesome attacks has links to Iran would be
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: surprised if he did. And yeah, you know, there is
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: a there's a given the numbers, the share numbers of
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: unassimilated without expectation of assimilation Muslims there are now in
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: the UK. I guess this is not h this is
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: not surprising. Kenny Badanok, the leader of the Conservative Party, said, uh,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: this is no longer growing patent. This is an epidemic
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: of violence against Jewish people, right, and that it is
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: that it is the you know, Chief Rabbi of Britain wrote,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: words of condemnation are no longer sufficient. This must be
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: a moment that demands meaningful action from every institution, every community,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: every leader and every decent person in our country. Yes,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: I mean every time there's an attack like this, party
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: has come out and they condemn it. Nothing happens, nothing happens,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: and they never name the source of the problem. They
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: never name. Islamism is the problem. They never name, you know,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: they never make a big deal out of that. Now,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: this one is investigated as a being investigated as a
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: terrorist attack, and therefore you know that it's you know
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: that that it is most likely that is almost certainly
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: an Islamist who did this. But this is a growing
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: growing threat in London, and generally there is a growing
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: threat in London around to the Jewish community, to the
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Jews community, particularly in Golden Greens which is the Jews neighborhood,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: but also infintionally and Harrow. These are all neighborhoods and
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: kind of the north of London, which is you know
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: where the Jews live, also Hendon, There's a number of
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: other places is so where Jews are concentrated. A lot
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: of Jews are leaving England, a lot of Jews are
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: going to Israel, where, funnily enough, in spite of October seventh,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: and in spite of continued missiles from Yan and Chrismala
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: and and continued hatred throughout the Bold feels a lot
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: safer than London. How how depressing? How depressing is that?
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: All right? We've talked a lot about the gerrymandering kind
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: of situation where you know, this is where states draw
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: district lines and ways and guarantee that the political party
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: in power gains more seats uh and and or the
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: political party in power in the state gets more seats
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: for Congress. And this latest round of geremymandering started with
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: tru urging Texas to change its electoral map in favor
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: of Republicans, which Texas did. California responded by changing its
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: own map. Other states have changed their maps. We talked
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: about Virginia the other day where Virginia has changed its
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: map in favor of Democrats. So Republicans do it, Democrats
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: do it. They offset each other. Now, you know, DeSantis
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: in Florida is trying to change the map in Florida,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: and which would change I think the electoral map from
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: twenty eight to eight to twenty four and four, so
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: would give Republicans an extra four seats. I mean, so
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: you know, remember Kamala Harris won forty three percent of
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: the state's vote in twenty twenty four, so there's a
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: lot of Democrats in Florida and as recently as two
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: years before come out as you know, So in twenty
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: twenty two, Democrats held eleven or twenty seven House seats
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: forty one percent. But GP jerrymannen in twenty twenty two
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: after last census, which is typically when this is done,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: so that you get the twenty to eight and now
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: they're moving to twenty four to four, So that looks
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: like it's going to pass. I'm sure other Democratic states
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: would get part of this play. But the Supreme Court
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: today had a ruling, a significant ruling there's basically going
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: to change the electoral map in the South for House seats. Basically,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: what the Simme Court rule today is that states cannot
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: use race as the basis for drawing house seats. They
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: cannot use it in a sense to guarantee that, you know,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: draw a map where you know there's certain concentration. Let's
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: say black voters will vote Democratic and now get their
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: own member and draw the lines in ways that in
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: a sense, whites Republicans get their seats, Blacks Democrats get
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: their seats. That they can't use race so to draw
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: voting districts that help minority communities elect their preferred candidates.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: In a sixty three decision, basically conservatives, liberals, and they
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: voted to weaken the Voting Rights Act, the Voting Rights Acts,
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: you know, try to try to fix some of their
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: injustices that the past by using race. And now that's
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: court has walked away from that. As Alito wrote, allowing
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: race to play any party government decision making represents a
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: departure from the constitutional rule that applies in almost every
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: other context. And he's right, he's right. The case involved
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: the congressional map in Louisiana, which are six seats in
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: the House of Representatives. The state, prodded by ruling from
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: the federal courts, drew two of those six districts to
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: have black majority voters, and that is what was challenged
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: and bought the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court throughout their map,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: and they're gonna go back and they're gonna redraw map
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: that basically he guarantees six out of six to Republicans.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: And indeed, there are a number of Southern states that
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: can find ways to redraw maps in a way that
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: will basically eliminate the existence of democratic democratic House members
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: representing their state. Right so you know it'll be, it's
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: going to be. This might not affect the twenty twenty
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: sixth election, this year's election, but it will probably affect
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight, and you know it's going to be.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be really interesting. Now, Alito wrote that his
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: ruling only applies to state redistricting practices then intentionally discriminate
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: against voters on the basis of race. It doesn't prevent
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: states from pursuing a partisan advantage in ways that may
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: also reduce the voting power of large minority populations, because
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: it's based on partisans. So basically, what this is going
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: to do is it make it almost impossible for a
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Democrat to win in the South, and I'll give the
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Republicans a significant advantage into of House seats, and so
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: you can expect that starting in twenty twenty eight. So
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: the gerrymandering continues in the SUEEP Corps just made it
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: possible to do it at scale, particularly in the South
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: where this supplies. All right, what is going on on? Second?
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: All right? Umm, al right, my heater is a coming.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: That's great. All right, let's see, all right, there's an
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: interesting story about electric vehicles. So you know, the United
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: States does not allow electric vehicles from China to enter
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: the United States. We basically have very high tariffs and
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: a variety of other regulations that basically exclude you know,
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Chinese made electric Cause now the Chinese making ever better
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: electric cars, ever more sophisticated, ever more you know, ever
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: cheaper electric cars. And yet in Mexico, not far from
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: where I am, Mexico, the Chinese are selling electric cars
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: left and right, and indeed soon Chinese, the Chinese will
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: be selling electric cars in Canada. Canada used to have
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent tariff on electric cars, but as part
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: of a new trade deal with China has eliminated that
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: tariff and allowing electric cars to come into Canada. I mean,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: this is huge. The United States will be surround did
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: in a sense by electric cars that are part superior
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: to anything the US has, at least in terms of uh,
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: you know, price versus quality, and yet Americans will not
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: be able to buy them, you know, And it's it's
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: you won't be able to the law today prohibit you
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: from going over to Mexico, buying a Chinese electric and
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: driving it into the United States. The same will probably
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: be the case with Canada, and yet you know, give
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: you some examples. I mean, Gile, which is one of
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: the Chinese companies, is selling an all electric X two
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: e X two, which is a sleek, sleek compact car
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: at around twenty thousand dollars. It's you won't find a
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: small car in the United States for under for under
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: twenty thousand dollars. There are two Gile sedans which added
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: around seventeen thousand. Great Wall Motors is boasting of a
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: beefy gas powered sports utility vehicle. There are hybrid pickup
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: trucks offered by BYD So the Chinese are not just
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: making electric vehicles now, they're also making hybrids, and they're
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: also making gas cars. And the cars are pretty good,
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: really good technology is probably as good, if not better,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: than anything is made in the United States. A salesperson
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: in Mexico is quoted as saying in this article in
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal, if they allowed, if they were
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: allowed to be sold in the United States, they would
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: destroy the American car maker. And the reality is that
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: Detroit executives basically agree with that. They don't know what
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: to do. They cannot produce cars as cheaply as the
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Chinese they cannot produce electric cars as good as the Chinese.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: The US car industry is just it probably can't compete,
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: certainly an electric but even in gas it's not clear
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: that they can. Now the argument is the Chinese subsidize,
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: and they know they subsidize their companies, and it's not fair.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: That might be the case, but the reality is that
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: American car companies can't compete and they're going to be
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: losing market share globally on a massive scale. They already
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: are China, is already in Europe, and European auto companies
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: are struggling, and ultimately they will get out of the
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: business of making small cars. The Chinese are all over
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: Latin America and now to Canada, which means in those markets,
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: US auto company market share will plummet. In China, US
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: used to make lots of cars in China and used
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: to sell lots of cars in China, that number is
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: plummeting as the Chinese, you know, have their own car companies,
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: and many of them, not just one or two, many
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: car companies, and they are dominating the Chinese markets. So
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: US car companies are going to suffer, even if the
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: cars never enter the United States if they do enter
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: the United States, there's a real chance that you know,
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: the major US auto companies will go bust. You know,
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: Tesla will probably survive by making kind of a higher
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: end electric car. But the only way I'd say Forward
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: in GM and maybe Kaisler can survive is by stopping
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: making sedans. And I think that's ultimately what's going to
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: have to happen. American car companies are not good at
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: making sedans, They're not particularly good at making small cars.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: They can't compete on the luxury segment with the Europeans,
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: and they can't compete on the small segment in the
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: past with the Japanese and now with the Chinese. American
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: car many factors are gonna have to specialize, specialize in
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: SUVs and then pick up trucks and dump everything else.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: And that I mean a dramatic shrinkage in employments in Detroit.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: That I mean a a significant smaller auto manufacturing out
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: of the US as Big three. And you know, people say, oh,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: but if we if we let the chi if you
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: let the Chinese companies in, you know, the the all
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: these jobs will we lost in Detroit. Yeah, but if
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: you let the Chinese companies in Americans will have more
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: more variety to to choose from. They'll be able to
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: buy cheaper cause, be able to raise their stand of
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: living in that sense, and be able to use their
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: savings to buy or invest in other products. The net result, ultimately,
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: it'll take a little while, but the net result is
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: probably a better, stronger, more efficient US economy. So you know,
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: certainly at the low end in the sedan market, the
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: small car market, the twenty thousand dollars or below market,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: Chinese will dominate, and that would help a lot of
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: Americans who can affhotocop, a lot of young people, a
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: lot of poor people, and we're denying them that in
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: order to protect Detroit's big three. Now, I think the
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: Trumpet mustation has eliminated the fuel requirements, and by eliminating
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: the average fuel requirements for the auto companies, they've made
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: it possible for their auto industry to evolve to especially
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: where American auto companies can indeed specialize in SUVs and
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: pickup trucks. They don't have to build small cars to
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: average down their fuel consumption, and they can hand over
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: the segment of the small car market to the Chinese.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: That is the future, and the sooner Detroit and the
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: sooner Washington figured that out the better. You know, there
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: are a bunch of people living in Aposto, for example,
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: that can see the Chinese cause because they cross over
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: the border a Mexican residents and people who hold joint
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: residency between the United States and Mexico can buy them,
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: and they're seeing them in the streets in Aposto. And
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: many of them are gorgeous, cause that are way cheaper
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: than what the residents of Aposto are paying for their
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: clunky cause. So yes, there is. It's funny. One of
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: the hallmarks of Chinese cause, you know, one of the
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: homeworks is they have they come with a karaoke app
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: so you can use you can do karaoke while driving.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: I guess the woods show up in your screen in
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: front of you. That's pretty funny. But yes, this is
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: the same thing as what was happening in nineteen seventies.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: The same complaints about Japanese com manufacturings dumping in the
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: United States wasn't in the nineteen seventies, Honda and then
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: after that after the Japanese basically took control of much
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: of the sedan and small car market, in the United States.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: Then Hyundai and Kiya came in with even lower budget
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: sedan's and took it away from the Japanese. And you know,
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: if once upon a time General Motors and Ford had
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: one seventy percent of the auto market, that number is
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: plummeted quite a bit. And of course, all three American
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: auto companies, particularly GM and Chrysler, came very close to
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: bankruptcy if not for the bailout from the Obama administration
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: in twenty ten. So maybe it's time that the United
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: States stopped producing a lot of cars and brought in
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: these cheap Japanese cheap Chinese cause to raise our standard
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: of living. There is an issue with the software and
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: national security issues that have to be addressed. But because
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: you know, theoretically Chinese government can control that software and
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: shut all our cars down in the case of war,
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: so that would have to be that would have pretty
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: addressed and controlled for and national secuity.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: The people, the FBI or whoever would have to get
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: comfortable with the software that it wasn't easily hacked by
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: the Chinese government.
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: But that to me is the only real concern other
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: than that bring him in. Let let let competition happen.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: All right, what do we have, Yeah, a couple of
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: positive stories, a positive story, and abortion happens once in
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: a while. So a couple of a couple of things
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: happening on abortion front is stuff happening every day on
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: abortion Because the anti abortion forces are so vicious. I
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: update you periodically about this. They go after people, they've criminalized,
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: uh so many actions of doctors and and and and women,
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: and it's just horrific. But once in a while there's
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: good news. For example, a Wyoming judge has temporarily blocked
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: the states six week abortion ban, allowing providers to resume
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: care and putting the blatantly or what looks like a
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: blatantly and constitutional law on hold while the issue makes
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: its way through the courts. This is not the federal
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: constitution because the federal basically Supreme Court is ruled that
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: constitution has nothing to say about abortion. So this is
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: a state constitution. There was a state su Him Court decision,
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: you know, in January, upholding the right to abortion, and
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: yet the governor signed a Human Heartbeat Act last month.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: This is what the judge is blocking the enforcement of
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: the Heartbeat Act. So you know, we will see we
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: will see what happens. The judge wrote that the abortion
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: rights advocates and providers who challenged the law were likely
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: to succeed. He said they made a sufficient showing irreputable
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: injury and that the state quote did not persuasively argue otherwise.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: So it looks like Wisconsin will have a much more
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: lenient abortion laws than what the governor and I guess
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: the Republican state legislature would like in Idaho. Idaho is
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: going to put on the ballot in November a measure
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: called the Reproductive Freedom and Privacy Act. It would change
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: the Idaho contion. It would not change the Ido Constitution,
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: but it would change state law. It passed, the measure
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: would repeal Idaho's ban and allow abortion until fetal viability. Now,
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: right now, Idaho has one of the country's strictest abortion bans,
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: a law that's basically driven out nearly a third of
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: the state's obg y NS doctors, you know, and they
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: have fought to preserve this law all the way up
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: to the U. Supreme Court. So we'll see what happens
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: in Idaho. But past kind of pro choice, pro pro life,
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: in my view, pro mother ballots, pro abortion ballots have
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: succeeded in other states. Indeed, in every state that's considered
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: an abortion rights ballot measure, the the the pro abortion
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: side one. So we'll see what happens. But again there's
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: a chance that in Idaho we will get abortion rights
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: at least up until viability re instituted. So yeah, I mean,
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: the one of the ways in the Church Republican of
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: fighting this is they are claiming that the that the
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: that the measure will approve abortion through birth. It should,
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: but they're claiming that even though no, this particular measure,
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: which is more likely to succeeds it's probably makes sense,
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: is just through FETA viability. Again, ninety two points percent
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: of all abortions before ro versus weight was repealed were
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: carried out before the twenty second week, so around viability,
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: so you know, it at least affects a dramatic a
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: significant a significant majority, overwhelming majority in a significant majority
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: of cases. All right, so some good news and an
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: abortion front. Also good news on the resource fund. You
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: know keep hearing about China has all the resources rare
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: earths and other well lithium. Lithium is essential for batteries,
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: it is it is a major resource for the for
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: a world run on batteries. And it turns out that
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: the Appalachi region in the United States has enough lithium
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: to replace three hundred and twenty eight years of imports. So,
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: you know, now we will see whether they actually actually
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: get at it. You know, hopefully with permitting reform and
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: then loosening up of the environmental regulations, we can stop
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: mining again in the United States that would be cooled. Now,
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: lithium is essential for batteries and batteries essential of course
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: for electric vehicles, but also energy storage systems, electronics, military technologies,
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: a bunch of different things. US realizes heavily and fign supply.
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: And now what what recent research has shown is there's
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: a huge quantity of lithium in the Apalachi Mountains or
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: the Apalachi region that can make the US independent, independent
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: produce of lithium and maybe an export of lithium. So
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: I've said many, many times that the real barrier in
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: terms of resources, in terms of getting access to resources
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: is is not the lack of resources in America, but
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: the fact that we won't our environmental regulations, our permitting
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: regulations do not allow us to com mine and to
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: access all the resources we have. We have a lot
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: of earth materials. Everything we import can be you know,
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: in terms of resources that is necessary for national security,
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: which is always the argument, can be sourced in the
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: United States if there was less regulation and could be
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: probably done efficiently and effectively and cheaply. I think entrepreneurs
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: would be incentivized to do so. But for that you
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: need to get rid of the environmental regulation you needed
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: to make it easy deployment. You need to be easy
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: to go mine. The one again, the one thing this
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: administration is very good at, very good at, is this
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: The bills, bills around eliminating or reducing permitting requirements and
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: environmental regulations are being loosened, and the ability to mine,
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: but the ability generally to build it's been made a
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: lot easier now. The challenge, of course, is is when
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: a Democrat comes into office, they can reverse much of
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: what's being done, because much of what's been done hasn't
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: been done legislatively, been deep done through the regula few agencies.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: So let's hope that you know, a lot of these
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: projects will start quickly, so it will be very very
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: very costly for democrats to reverse them to reverse those projects.
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: We will see. All right, Thanks everybody that it was
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: the news or is the news for today, Wednesday, April
• 56:21

• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: you know, hopefully you can provide value for value trade
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: with me. For all the shows that I am doing.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: All right, Wes, thank you, Wes, one hundred dollars, one
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars question, really really appreciated. Wes says, this is
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: a quote. First, a half battle is worse than none.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: It does not end in me a defeat. It helps
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: and hastens the victory of your enemies. This is ironman.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: She was talking about an ideological battle. But I think
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: the supplies to Iran war thoughts. I mean it does
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: over the long run. I mean, particularly if the regime
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: in Iran can sustain itself. I mean, look, it doesn't
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: always happen in reality, because the fact is this was
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: weakened the Iranian regime dramatically, and they could succumb to
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: a uprising from within, and you could have a new
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: regime in Iran in spite of Trump's weakness, and it
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: might not lead to their victory over the long run.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: But if they can survive the fact that they stood
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: up to the United States, the fact that they didn't
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: fold will only embolden them in the future to be
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: more aggressive and to pursue more aggressive goals, you know,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: and they've discovered of course, the states of home woes
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: is a real pain point for the United States, and
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: they will much more actively and aggressively pursue that pain
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: point in the future. So I absolutely think there's a
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: possibility that this half war will ultimately lead to a
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: much more aggressive Iran and to an Iran that's going
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: to be a much bigger problem in our future than today.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, it's toe in the ideological battle,
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: and it's true in the battle in reality out there
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: in the real world. So the half battles, half victories
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: when you can complete it is just unbelievably irrational. Why
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: even give the Iranians a chance? Why I even give
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: them a the possibility of surviving this and creating a
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: nightmare for the for the Israelis, Americans and the entire
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: Middle East. You've got to take them out. And my
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: hope is that even if the United States chooses to
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: back off of this, Israel will re engage with Iran
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: and do everything in its power to take them out,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: everything in its power to help the protesters, everything in
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: its power to ultimately achieve regime change, real victory. Thank you, Wes,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: really really appreciate the support, Clark. It makes me nervous.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: Ironran isn't being taught in schools. How does the culture
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: shift and to an egoistic direction in fifty years without that, Well,
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: you got to get exposed people to iron Rand, not
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: just in schools, in a variety of two voice the
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: first Ironmand is being taught in schools books to teach.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: This program at the Iron Institute is still going strong.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: We still ship out six figures over one hundred thousand
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: books a year. Those books are being taught. They're not
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: just ship they're being taught beyond that. You know, I'm
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: teaching here at the University of Austin, students are reading capitalism,
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: not known ideal. Other professors at the universities told us
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: that they teach Ironman's essays. Hopefully that gets people to
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: read more of Ironmand. It intrigues them, and I think
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: I think the same thing is happening. We've got objectives
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: professors that are teaching courses where they're introducing people to Inrand.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: So it's happening out there in educational statute. But there's
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: us an ongoing effort to get young people to read
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: the books. For example, the one hundred thousand dollars prize,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: which is new the atless Shrugged Essay Contest is an
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: attend by the Iran Institute to get more people to
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: read Atlas Shrugged, and it's focused on young people. So
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: the effort is to get young people to read that
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: Outless Shrugged. One hundred thousand dollars is a pretty good motivation.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: So you know we're doing and of course we have
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: their found Head Essay contest and Anthem Essay Contest. So
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: the Iran Instrute is constantly trying to get people to
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: read Ironran. The new building we're building here in Austin,
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: which is right next to the university, which students will
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: not be able to ignore. They'll see it, they'll know
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: about it. Well. Also, I think ultimately encourage people to
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: read Inrand. I'll go this building in the Iran Institute.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: What the hell is that? What's that about? Now? Of
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: course all of you can, all of you can go
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: out there and recommend to Antless Shrug to your friends,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: to your family, to your young cousins, to your kids,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: to whoever get more people to readyman, you know, that's
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: on all of us. We are responsible for getting that done.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey says, fingers crossed for the Opak course in twenty
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: twenty seven. Yeah, I mean we need to figure out
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: how to add a few hours to every day. And
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: had a few days every month and a few months
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: every year, so they have time to get all this done.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: It's just God, is so much going on. You know,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: maybe the Opak course is so financially lucrative that I
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: should drop something else and do it instead. We'll see.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: I do want to announce. It's not yet exactly finalized,
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: but I think we have a starting date. I will
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: be doing a show I can't try maybe weekly. Was
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: it weekly or monthly? I can't remember? And I say
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: I can't remember anything. Yeah, weekly on Sundays from three
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: to five. Every week on Sunday. There will be a
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: new show called the Iran and Nicos Show. So we'll
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: be doing a show with Nicos Nicos s Nicos with
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: the name I can't pronounce, and that's okay. He's like
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: Pela with just one name. And we will be taking
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: figures in intellectual history, movements in intellectual history and diving
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: deep into them, really analyzing them from a deep perspective.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: As soon as I know what the first one is,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: I will let you know. I do have the date
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: for the first Nicos and Iran show, and that will
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: be Sunday, May tenth. Sunday, May tenth Nicos and Uran show,
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: we'll be launching that, So I think you'll enjoy that.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: And then I need to find a day of the
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: week where I can do opah. And of course that
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: requires prep that I can't it quite significant preps. So
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: maybe maybe I do one less new show a week.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: Maybe I do one less new show a week, like
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: Wednesday we do opah instead of instead of news. I
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: think I'm ready for that. Like, I don't know, unless
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: there's breaking stuff that would be I think it would
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: be good to place a new show with an oh
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: pah show where we delve deep into Lena Peacock soapap
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: all right, Travis, Hi, Travis, He says, haven't made a
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: live show in a long time. Glad to be here,
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: Glad to give a value in trade for great value
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: you create. Thank you for your ideas. Thank you, Travis
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: really appreciate that. Hey, guys, sticks, stickers would be great.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: We've got a few more questions, but we'll be done
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: in just a few minutes. If you want to support
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: the show again. This is how this is what makes
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: this show possible your support. There's no money from anywhere
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: else except your support and the sponsors, and your support
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: as much beginning than the sponsors. So please consider stepping
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: in and providing some support for the Iran bookshow. All right,
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: and you can do that live right now with a sticker.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: This is Rajeev says. Ran International reports say Uranian economy
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: is collapsing. I think that's right. I talked about that
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: and IRGC fearing another uprising. Yeah, I talked about that.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: Potus says blockade is working. Is it true? Yeah? I
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: think all that's true. I'm not sure what that means.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: The uprising can be dealt with with machine guns. The
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: blockade is working, you know, some ships are getting through,
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: but it's basically working. But does that mean we'll get
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: regime change? Does that mean this regime will collapse or
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: does that mean the rain will just be suffering? You know?
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know. So I like this idea
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: of resuming the war and bombing, bombing Tehran and bombing
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: regime leadership and trying to assassinate the guy running everything,
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: the head of the IRGC, and destroying more infrastructure and
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: just helping, helping, them along, has helped them along in
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: their destruction and their deterioration, and help, you know, go
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: after more of the besiege, more of the IRGC, so
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: that when the protest happens, the Iranians have fewer troops
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: to shoot them with. All right, Savana says, looking for
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: to Iran and Niko's show. I just started Opah, but
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: it's hard to get going between work and projects. Yeah,
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons I think a show that
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: is dedicated to Opah might be good. I need to
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: figure out how to do it. What I mean by
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: how to do is how to fit it into my
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: crazy schedule. But it's something I'd like to do, and
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: then how to in a sense bill for it. So
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: we'd make it a kind of accessible only to people
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: who pay fifty bucks a month or one hundred bucks
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: a month in addition to what they're doing right now
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: to justify it. All right, let's see, not your average algorithm,
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: not your average algorithm. Yeah, everyone says they want free
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: speech until someone uses it. Yeah, I mean almost nobody's
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: against free speech. They just have all these caveats around
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: what they actually mean by free speech, and they don't
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: like it when somebody they oppose actually uses it. All right,
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: let me thank some of the stickers. Jeffrey a sticker
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: as well. Thank you, Jeffrey. Oh, Jeffrey God, I need
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: to write you an email because we're coming to New
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: York Roland. Thank you for the sticker, Jack Exit, Mary Aleen,
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: Mike Cep Milkin, Jonathan Honing. Thank you guys, really appreciate
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: the stickers. You too could support the show with the
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: stick at two dollars one dollar ninety nine cents, although
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: we up to five hundred dollars. You can use the
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: sticker to trade with me value for value to be
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: an added value on you on book show, all right,
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: not to have a jogoman. Do you know the demographics
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: of your audience mostly young professionals, middle aged professional students
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: or tyres. I don't know how you define middle age,
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: but most of my over fifty percent, well over fifty
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: percent of my audience close to sixty percent between the
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: age of twenty five and forty five, twenty five and
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: forty five, So I would say mostly young professionals, So
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: that that is the bulk of the audience is right there.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: Post college. I wouldn't say middle aged, middle ages, probably
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: post forty five, right, and certainly not with Tyree's. I
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: wish there were more students. You know, that demographic is
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: smaller the sixteen or eighteen to twenty five, but a
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: lot of them tell me that they lie on the
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: age thing when they sign up a YouTube, so they
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: appear older in the demographics than they really are. So
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: you know, based on the data I have, it's mostly
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: twenty five to forty five. All right, emil. Why do
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: Republicans claim to want a small government when they seem
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: to want an enormous, monstrous goverment abortion and immigration, for instance, Well,
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: because they lie, because they they constantly lie. They also
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: want to be governed when it comes to solid security, medicaid,
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: and medicaid they're not willing to dhrink those programs. They
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: also want to be gomning when it comes to welfare,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: and certainly when it comes to defense, and when it
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: comes to a lot of things. They they think think
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: that a small government sounds good and that it is
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: consistent with what they think they should believe in, But
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: they don't actually believe in it, and they certainly don't
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: actually want to operationalize it. It just sounds good and
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: it gets They think they get a vote, It gets
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: their votes, That's what they think anyway, Liam does Latin
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: America have a hard time shaking off its Marxism? Are
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: there any First World South American countries? Will Argentina be
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: the first? Yeah? They do, I mean, but it's not
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: so much today. Marxism is that they have a hard
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: time shaking their you know, continental philosophy. They are very
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: very influenced by French and German philosophers and there's very
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: very little presence for the Enlightenment and French philosopher's post Enlightenment,
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: so there's very little presence of the Enlightenment, and there's
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: very little presence of British philosophers and British kind of
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: Anglo Saxon thinking, and they're dominated by German and French
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: post Enlightenment thinkers that include marks, but not exclusive to marks.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: And they're very very leftist intellectually, whether through Marx or
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: whether through Postmodernism, or whether through Hegel and Marx, and
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: they find it very difficult to shake that off. Are
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: there any First World countries in South America? You know,
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe maybe Uruguay, but I've never been. Chile,
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: might be a first world country or very close to
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: being a first World country. Chile and Argentina could very
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: well become one, absolutely could become one, but I don't
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: think it would be first. I think Chile is probably
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: already one. Enrick economics adjust the shocks can and if so,
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: how long before the oil shortage can adjust with the
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: straits remaining closed. Well, I mean it's already adjusting. Prices
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: are high, which means demand is shrinking. The United States
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: can increase production long term. Saudi Arabia and ure He
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: can build more pipelines, but that could take months, if
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: not years. So I I I I I I you
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: know U. Other countries might be pumping on more oil
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: and more natural gas Israel, Egypt, Norway, uh, other countries
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: around the globe. I mean the part of the problem
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: is Europeans. Remember they're shutting down the nuclear power plants,
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: so they're more dependent on fossil fuels as they pretend
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: that they're dependent on wind and solar, but that's completely unreliable.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, I I they it will adjust,
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: but it's slow. It's slow to adjust, and it's slow
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: to adjust because getting new production on board and particularly
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: getting facilities to export new production is difficult. It's not easy.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: It's not easy, all right, Mary Ellen says, I'm excited
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: about the run A Nicos show. Thank you, Mary Ellen,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: I am too. It should be a lot of fun.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: Charsbut says, what did I do? Charsbut says. In the
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: movie Arrival, one of the characters says that the cornerstone
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: of civilization is language. Another character says, no, it's science.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: Are they both wrong? Is the is the act? Is
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: it actually philosophy? Well? No, I I think that at
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, the cornerstone of civilization is reason.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: It's not necessarily it's it's an and guided by philosophy. Right. So,
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: but you know, you could have very ancient civilizations like
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: the Mesopotamians, the Babylonians, the Egyptians, who didn't have philosophy,
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: didn't have really a concept of reason, but they were
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: more advanced that they had some science. They they they saw,
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: but in a limited way in which they did. They
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: sought human progress and they achieved some progress. Advanced civilizations,
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: modern civilizations depend on reason and reasons is the basis
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: for language, and reason ultimately is the basis for science.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: Reason is the basis for individualism, and reason is the
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: basis for political freedom. So reason is suddenly the foundation
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: of all respectful reason. Respectful reason is the foundation of
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: all modern civilization, not your average algorithm something do gish
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: derangement cinema. I don't know what goosh is denying the
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: hollow cost happened while wishing it happens again, Holocaust, denying
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: the Holocaust happened while wishing it happens again. Yeah, there's
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: a lot of that out there. Sadly, it's pretty disgusting.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: Jason says, Uron supports open immigrants and Muslims. It's his
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: fault what's going on in London. He won't call for
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: the end of Muslim immigration. That's so funny. First of
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: it's on my fault that UK voted for Brexit. This
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: is a direct consequence of Brexit. Before Brexit, Muslim immigration
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: was very limited. Most immigrants into the UK were from
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: Europe polls, in particular Ukrainians. Post Brexit, the UK still
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: needs immigrants. Its survival depends on them to large extent.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: And they brought them in for their former colonies and
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: the included India, Pakistan and other places, and many of
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: them were Muslims. So a lot of this is those
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: of you who voted for Brexit are at fault. Beyond that,
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: it's just not true that I won't call for muslim
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: for banned Muslim immigration. I've called for it many, many,
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: many times. I've said, declare, warn Islamist ideology and stop
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: them from coming over. It's not hard that Islamism is
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: the enemy of Europe, the enemy of the UK, the
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: enemy of the United States. Even the US hasn't done it.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: And then you can ban Islamists from coming in. But
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: you know, do it right. You know, banning all Muslims
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: from immigrating would deny iron hearstyl the ability a young
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: I in HEARSTYLI the ability to immigrate to the West,
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: and that would be an unbelievable tragedy. So it's much
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: easier to ban Islamists, those who want to export Sharia law,
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: those who want to turn their countries into the Middle East,
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: those who want to who believe that women should be
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: covered up, all of that. It's pretty easy to identify them.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: It's not that hard and just ban them. But for
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: that you have to declare them and you can deport them.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: I'm more for deporting them once you declare them an enemy.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: So I've said this, like, I don't know, somewhere between
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: fifty five and one hundred and two times, and I
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: still get these stupid questions. Gotcha, Jason got me? Oh
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: my god, he got me. It's my fault. Like numbers
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: thoughts on US efforts to control the Malka Strait. You know,
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: I don't think there are any efforts of the US
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: to control the Malka Straits, but the US should. I
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: think one of the roles of the US as a superpower,
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: as a global superpower, is and has been, you know,
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: since the decline of the of the British Empire, and
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: has been to keep the shipping lanes of the world open.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: And I think it's in common in the US to
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: make sure that Thebolka Straits are not closed. They could
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: be closed by the Indonesians, but more likely they could
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: be closed by the Chinese, which would be devastating for
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: the United States. So, you know, this is why one
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: of the reasons the United States has such a large navy.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: It's to make sure the various choke points of global
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: trade stay open. That's the state of home wares, that's
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: a strait in the Red Sea, that is a Strait
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: of Malacca, and probably other streates as well. That's what
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: we should have a navy to do, and the Navy
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: should be out there doing it, but not under Trump.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: Not under Trump, it seems I've noticed that over the
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: last few days there have been several reports of Somali
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: pirates again taking ships, like they sensed the American weakness,
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: and they're right close to where the American The US
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: has three aircraft carriers, and yet the Somalis are bold
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: enough to give the finger to the Americans and hijack ships.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: Pretty amazing how weak we come across. Matt. Are you
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: doing any public events in New York? No, I haven't
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: done a public event in New York in many years.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: It's about time somebody invited me to come and give
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: a talk in New York. No. New York is vacation,
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: taking time off, not doing anything. Museums, opera and good restaurants,
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: that's all, Michael says. You don't do many collaborative shows
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: on other channels. If you did a weekly thing with
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: Nicos or Destiny or other large podcasters, it would grow
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: your platform with new audiences much faster. But Nicos doesn't
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: have a large He's not a large podcaster. But anyway,
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: I'm doing it with Nicos. Destiny is not gonna want
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: a weekly show with me. He might want me on
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: once in a while, but he's not gonna want a
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: weekly show with me. Doing it with and other large
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: podcasters have no incentive. I don't bring enough to the
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: table for them to want to do a weekly show
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: with me. Nicos wants to go his platform with my audience.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: Nicos is a friend and we align ideologically. Nicos is
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: perfect for me to do a show together with With
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: Destiny or anybody else, it would become a debate society.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: It would not actually be a collaboration. Alejandro, are you
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: downplaying economic damage or renewing war? I don't know what
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: you mean. I don't think I'm down playing economic damage.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: The economic damage for whom of renewing war, economic damage
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: to the United States, I don't think there is any
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: And if you do the war right, then the consequence
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: of the war is the opening of the states of
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: Homemores and the elimination of economic damage. So I don't
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: think the war in and of itself, particularly if it's
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: done right, and Reachie victory, that would be a huge
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: boost of the economy. It's not it's not about economic damage.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: It's about the opposite. And you know, even if there
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: is economic damage, it's worth it to eliminate a real
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: threat to the lives of Americans, which is Yvon. All right, guys,
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: thank you everybody, Thanks to all the super chatters. Thank
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: you all for being here and listening. I will see
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: you all tomorrow about the same time, and a fightday
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: about the same time. Fight is already next month, It's
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: already me so yes, I will see you tomorrow for
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: the last show of April. Thanks to all the super chatters,
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: and bye everybody. I'm off the class
