- 1:24Speaker 2: do the news. We're going to do the news right now,
- 1:28Speaker 2: and I've got a hard stop. So we've got about
- 1:32Speaker 2: two hours and we will go from there. Let's start
- 1:37Speaker 2: with the latest pardon that Trump gave out last week
- 1:45Speaker 2: was to a Democratic congressman. A lot of people surprised
- 1:50Speaker 2: that Trump was giving a pardon to a Democratic congressman.
- 1:52Speaker 2: This is a congressman who he and his wife faced
- 1:56Speaker 2: federal charges of bribery and money laundring tied to over
- 2:01Speaker 2: six hundred thousand dollars from Azerbaijean and a Mexican bank. Oh,
- 2:07Speaker 2: I know people in Azerbaijan. I wonder if they give
- 2:09Speaker 2: me six hundred thousand dollars. Anyway, it's it's not bad
- 2:13Speaker 2: for congressmen. And they were found guilty, by the way. Uh,
- 2:17Speaker 2: they were found guilty of this and and uh and
- 2:21Speaker 2: sentenced to jail time. And Trump granted a full pardon
- 2:28Speaker 2: on December third, so five days ago, based on a
- 2:32Speaker 2: letter that he got from the daughter. And the daughter's
- 2:37Speaker 2: claimed that this Democratic congressman was treated really really badly
- 2:43Speaker 2: by the left, by by by the progressive win of
- 2:48Speaker 2: the democratic progressive wing of the Democratic Party. And and
- 2:52Speaker 2: and this is why he went to jail. He didn't
- 2:55Speaker 2: go to jail because he was actually cor up. No,
- 2:57Speaker 2: he was set up by by by the far left.
- 2:59Speaker 2: He was set up by those crazy leftists, and that
- 3:03Speaker 2: he was not a crazy leftist at all. And if only,
- 3:06Speaker 2: if only, if only Donald Trump would grant him a pardon, that.
- 3:09Speaker 3: Would be a.
- 3:11Speaker 2: Slap in the face of of of the radical left
- 3:13Speaker 2: and a win, a win for for America first. And uh,
- 3:18Speaker 2: you know, he was very you know, bipartisan. He has
- 3:21Speaker 2: a bi partisan record, and he's it was good on
- 3:24Speaker 2: on board of security, and and and and maybe maybe
- 3:30Speaker 2: maybe you know who knows he would support in the future.
- 3:33Speaker 3: I don't know if this was explicit or not, but.
- 3:35Speaker 2: It was potentially it was implied that if he got
- 3:39Speaker 2: the pardon, he he might even support a Republican in
- 3:43Speaker 2: his district. Anyway, Trump granted the pardon.
- 3:48Speaker 3: Based on this.
- 3:50Speaker 2: This everybody's surprised he gave it to a Democrat, but
- 3:52Speaker 2: based on this assumption that this guy would would reject
- 3:56Speaker 2: the people who sent him to jail, the far left,
- 3:59Speaker 2: and embraced Republicans. This is what Trump wrote a couple
- 4:07Speaker 2: of days ago. He said, this is in a truth
- 4:12Speaker 2: social He said I never spoke to this has said
- 4:16Speaker 2: that he told about the daughters sending him this letter
- 4:19Speaker 2: and asking for pardon, and he says, I never spoke
- 4:21Speaker 2: to the congressman, his wife or his daughters, but felt
- 4:24Speaker 2: very good about fighting for family that was tormented by
- 4:28Speaker 2: the very sick and deranged people.
- 4:31Speaker 3: They were treated so badly. How does he know this?
- 4:35Speaker 2: Based on the daughter's letter, signed the papers and said
- 4:38Speaker 2: to the people in the Oval office that I just
- 4:40Speaker 2: did a very good, perhaps life saving thing. God God
- 4:47Speaker 2: himself was very happy with me that day. Then it
- 4:51Speaker 2: happened all caps. Only a short time after signing the pardon,
- 4:57Speaker 2: Congressman Henry Ula I think something like that, announced that
- 5:02Speaker 2: he will be running for Congress again in the Great
- 5:05Speaker 2: State of Texas, a state where I received the highest
- 5:09Speaker 2: number of votes ever recorded.
- 5:15Speaker 3: I mean this this guy, I e. President Trump.
- 5:19Speaker 2: He could be a character on Saturday Night Live that
- 5:21Speaker 2: John Belushi played in the nineteen seventies, right, I mean,
- 5:25Speaker 2: he's so over the top, crazy, ludicrous that it's almost
- 5:31Speaker 2: like you. No, he's in a skit. It's not real.
- 5:34Speaker 2: He's in a skit anyway. So he was going to
- 5:39Speaker 2: run again for Congress in the Great State of Texas
- 5:42Speaker 2: as a Democrat, continuing to work with the same radical
- 5:48Speaker 2: left scum that just weeks before wanted him and his
- 5:51Speaker 2: wife to spend the rest of their lives in prison
- 5:54Speaker 2: and probably still do. Such a lack of loyalty something
- 5:59Speaker 2: that tech voters and Henry's daughters will not like. Oh well,
- 6:05Speaker 2: next time, no more, mister nice guy President Donald J. Trump. Anyway,
- 6:13Speaker 2: you know, Trump is handing out, handing out pardons, some
- 6:18Speaker 2: involving his friends, many involving his political allies, some involving
- 6:26Speaker 2: the friends of his political allies, some involving people who
- 6:31Speaker 2: he expects one day will do good things to him,
- 6:34Speaker 2: and some involving people who might actually turn out to
- 6:39Speaker 2: sway in the elected election, help him sway Congress in
- 6:43Speaker 2: the direction of Republicans because he's he's worried about what
- 6:45Speaker 2: will happen next election. And this guy doesn't play along.
- 6:51Speaker 2: He's a Democrat, and he stays a Democrat, and he's
- 6:53Speaker 2: running as a Democrat, and Trump's furious, furious. But I
- 7:01Speaker 2: think what this makes clear is how much Trump uses
- 7:03Speaker 2: pardon says quid quote quote that he expects something in return.
- 7:08Speaker 2: It could be cash, or in this case, it just
- 7:10Speaker 2: could be staying out of an election, or supporting the
- 7:13Speaker 2: Republican or convoting to be a Republican, whatever happens to
- 7:16Speaker 2: be in that particular case. Pardon corruption on steroids is
- 7:23Speaker 2: what we get, is what we're getting from this White
- 7:28Speaker 2: House talk about corruption. So you might have heard over
- 7:32Speaker 2: the weekend this is this is really big news that
- 7:35Speaker 2: Netflix is is buying Warner Brothers uh for some gazillion
- 7:44Speaker 2: dollar amount, some huge amount of money and uh and
- 7:49Speaker 2: and and a lot of people are very excited. This
- 7:51Speaker 2: is combine the Netflix library with the HBO library. It'll
- 7:54Speaker 2: also give Netflix access to a major Hollywood studio, which
- 8:00Speaker 2: could elevate the quality of their movies and TV shows
- 8:04Speaker 2: that they put out on Netflix. And and this is
- 8:07Speaker 2: you know, this is kind of a vertical integration of
- 8:10Speaker 2: of now a studio all the way down to UH
- 8:13Speaker 2: to streaming UH and uh and and you know, just
- 8:18Speaker 2: just enhancing I think the the heft of Netflix in
- 8:23Speaker 2: in Hollywood and exciting to all of us who love
- 8:27Speaker 2: streaming movies and television and everything else. This is a
- 8:31Speaker 2: wanted by the Discovery. It has a bunch of other properties,
- 8:34Speaker 2: including I think CNN. UH.
- 8:37Speaker 3: So this is this is a big deal.
- 8:40Speaker 2: However, on on UH over.
- 8:44Speaker 3: The weekend, Trump was I guess it was Sunday night
- 8:47Speaker 3: last night.
- 8:48Speaker 2: Last night, Trump was attending a big event at Kennedy Center,
- 8:53Speaker 2: and he was asked about this merger and and his
- 8:58Speaker 2: response was, you know, Trump, well, that's got to go
- 9:03Speaker 2: through a process and we'll see what happens. You know,
- 9:09Speaker 2: when he was asked about whether this deal would go through,
- 9:13Speaker 2: and then he said.
- 9:14Speaker 3: But it's a big deal.
- 9:14Speaker 2: It's a big market shap that Netflix would have it
- 9:17Speaker 2: after deal, you know, it could be a problem. Indeed,
- 9:23Speaker 2: prediction markets show a twenty three percent chance of Netflix
- 9:28Speaker 2: actually being able to be able to close this deal.
- 9:32Speaker 2: By the way, there's a massive breakup fee. So if
- 9:35Speaker 2: Netflix would draw us from the deal without a without
- 9:39Speaker 2: I guess a good reason. A good reason being the
- 9:41Speaker 2: regulator is not approving it. It has to pay you
- 9:44Speaker 2: know one a brother's a huge amount of money.
- 9:47Speaker 3: But anyway, you know, right now, it's a twenty three
- 9:50Speaker 3: percent at the.
- 9:54Speaker 2: By the end of twenty twenty six, before Trump made
- 9:57Speaker 2: the comment. Before Trump the comment, guess what the odds were?
- 10:05Speaker 2: The odds was sixty. So basically, Trump saying a sentence
- 10:10Speaker 2: like that basically dropped the chance that this deal goes
- 10:14Speaker 2: through by more than half. Now, what's the issue, Well,
- 10:25Speaker 2: I mean from from a regulatory perspective. The issue is
- 10:28Speaker 2: that Netflix has a very big market Shit's a number
- 10:31Speaker 2: one streamer. It would be combined with HBO Max, which
- 10:34Speaker 2: would make it even a bigger streamer, and somehow that
- 10:39Speaker 2: would be a problem because it would put Netflix maybe
- 10:42Speaker 2: over thirty percent of the streaming market, which is somehow
- 10:46Speaker 2: a problem not clear why. You know, Trump said Netflix
- 10:53Speaker 2: has a very big market share, and when they have
- 10:55Speaker 2: Warner Brothers, you know that Shaw goes up a lot.
- 11:01Speaker 2: He also said Trump said that he personally he Donald
- 11:04Speaker 2: Trump would be involved in making the decision.
- 11:09Speaker 3: About this.
- 11:13Speaker 2: I wonder why. I wonder why Trump needs to be involved.
- 11:16Speaker 2: We'll get to that in a minute, but it's it
- 11:20Speaker 2: is worth noting that at least Netflix is saying that, look,
- 11:25Speaker 2: YouTube is a competitor.
- 11:27Speaker 3: TikTok is a competitor.
- 11:28Speaker 2: It's not just an Amazon of course with Prime and
- 11:31Speaker 2: Apple with Apple TV, and there's some beat players who
- 11:35Speaker 2: are real competitors. That'll be the argument that it makes.
- 11:40Speaker 2: But why, why why why? I mean, this is not
- 11:43Speaker 2: like Netflix one of other is going to be some
- 11:46Speaker 2: real big monopoly in any kind of definition of monopoly,
- 11:50Speaker 2: even you know, without the ability to compete. I mean
- 11:55Speaker 2: that that is absurd and even by the most generous
- 11:58Speaker 2: definition of monopoly.
- 11:59Speaker 3: The the quotes often abide.
- 12:01Speaker 2: Bike, if that's thirty percent of the market, that's not
- 12:04Speaker 2: like ninety eighty. What are they talking about. Why is
- 12:12Speaker 2: Trump being involved? Well, I mean the obvious cynical perspective,
- 12:17Speaker 2: but realistic nonetheless, in spite of the element of cynicism,
- 12:21Speaker 2: is that he's waiting to see how much Netflix bribes him.
- 12:26Speaker 2: He's waiting to see whether the Netflix CEO shows up and.
- 12:32Speaker 3: Argues and.
- 12:34Speaker 2: You know, contributes to a favored charity of Trump's or
- 12:39Speaker 2: something like that, you know, to try to persuade him. Indeed,
- 12:46Speaker 2: the Netflix CEO has already met with Trump recently to
- 12:51Speaker 2: lobby him for the acquisition. Trump has confirmed that meeting,
- 12:59Speaker 2: So you know, the Netflix executive try to argue that
- 13:03Speaker 2: Netflix was no big deal monopoly. But of course I
- 13:06Speaker 2: don't think he gets Trump. That's not what you have
- 13:08Speaker 2: to argue in front of Trump. You have to you
- 13:10Speaker 2: have to say the right things and do the right
- 13:14Speaker 2: things to get Trump's approval. But there's a complicating factor
- 13:18Speaker 2: to Netflix. And I mentioned this last week that somebody
- 13:21Speaker 2: else wanted to buy somebody else wanted to buy one
- 13:24Speaker 2: of others, and that somebody else was a paramo pamat
- 13:32Speaker 2: sky Dance, and pamit sky Dance is owned by basically
- 13:40Speaker 2: by the world's second richest man, who happens to be
- 13:44Speaker 2: a huge supporter of Trump, and the CEO of Oracle
- 13:50Speaker 2: that is Larry Ellison and whose son David Ellison I
- 13:55Speaker 2: think is the CEO a paramount sky Dance. And of
- 14:02Speaker 2: course they are good friends with the Trumps, so it's
- 14:08Speaker 2: very likely that they will be lobbying Trump over dinner
- 14:12Speaker 2: at Mala Lago sometime not to approve the deal so
- 14:17Speaker 2: that they can swoop in and get Warner brothers. Anyway,
- 14:19Speaker 2: even though they can compete on price, maybe they can
- 14:22Speaker 2: compete on political influence. Indeed, you can tell kind of
- 14:31Speaker 2: the influence machine already working lawmakers of both political parties,
- 14:36Speaker 2: both Republican and Democrats. Dallaalasa the Republican, which is very
- 14:41Speaker 2: disappointing because AASA I always thought it was like a
- 14:44Speaker 2: free market guy. But you know, even free market guys,
- 14:47Speaker 2: I guess they're not immune from the appeal from a
- 14:51Speaker 2: large donor. Both Dallasa and Democratic Elizabeth Warren Elizabeth want
- 14:57Speaker 2: seems to team up with Republicans a lot lately. They
- 15:00Speaker 2: both have already folded the transaction and claimed that it
- 15:06Speaker 2: has too much power, too big, too big. It would
- 15:09Speaker 2: have four hundred and fifty million users on a global
- 15:12Speaker 2: that's harmful to consumers.
- 15:13Speaker 3: That's not good for customers. It's not good.
- 15:16Speaker 2: I mean I was like looking forward to having HBO
- 15:18Speaker 2: with Netflix. I would think that would be better for me.
- 15:20Speaker 2: But no, no, no, they don't like it. Of course, the
- 15:24Speaker 2: EU is althos going to look at this and review it.
- 15:27Speaker 2: The UK will also look at this and review it.
- 15:36Speaker 2: I mean even the House of Lords in the UK
- 15:38Speaker 2: is worried about this, and they pressing the government. I mean,
- 15:40Speaker 2: why is everybody so worried about streaming TV?
- 15:45Speaker 3: Could it be?
- 15:46Speaker 2: Could it be that there is lobbying behind this and
- 15:49Speaker 2: there's some political pressure being put in place.
- 15:55Speaker 3: Talk about corruption here. It is.
- 16:00Speaker 2: Way for those of you who think that America is
- 16:04Speaker 2: a capitalist country and we have a free market here.
- 16:07Speaker 2: If we had a free market, Netflix would already be running.
- 16:13Speaker 3: Warner Brothers.
- 16:14Speaker 2: It wouldn't be waiting for approval from the authorities and
- 16:18Speaker 2: from Donald Trump, the President of the United States, getting
- 16:21Speaker 2: involved personally in the deal. Maybe Trump will say, okay, Netflix,
- 16:27Speaker 2: you can have one of brothers. You can have one
- 16:29Speaker 2: of brothers. If CNN promises to give me good coverage,
- 16:35Speaker 2: I think that that's a good deal.
- 16:37Speaker 3: That's probably the deal that Trump will be offering.
- 16:40Speaker 2: Them, because that's what he thinks what happened if Ellison
- 16:45Speaker 2: buys them. If Allison buys them, he'll have CBS and CNN,
- 16:50Speaker 2: and he might put Barry Weiss in charge of CBS
- 16:54Speaker 2: as well a CNN as well. I mean, this is so,
- 17:05Speaker 2: I mean, antius law is awful and horrific, and it
- 17:09Speaker 2: doesn't make any economic sense.
- 17:11Speaker 3: It doesn't make any sense period.
- 17:16Speaker 2: Period. And in that sense it's it really is, you know,
- 17:26Speaker 2: so it doesn't make sense. Anti just law is corrupt
- 17:30Speaker 2: and based on really really corrupt you know, assumptions economic
- 17:37Speaker 2: and political, and of course there's a complete negation of
- 17:39Speaker 2: individual rights. But but Trump is taking it to the
- 17:51Speaker 2: next level. Now, anti just laws is just used as
- 17:56Speaker 2: political beverage. Who we go after, who we don't, What
- 18:00Speaker 2: deals will prove, what deals we don't. If you're friends
- 18:03Speaker 2: with Trump, yeah, sure your deals will go through. If
- 18:06Speaker 2: you're not friends with Trump, you better become friends with Trump.
- 18:09Speaker 2: Otherwise your deals will not go through. It just adds
- 18:15Speaker 2: to the you know, it just adds to the corruption
- 18:21Speaker 2: in DC, which is already at a all time, all
- 18:26Speaker 2: time historic, all time historic level. All Right, that is
- 18:47Speaker 2: where we are. All of you excited about Netflix should
- 18:51Speaker 2: be disappointed. All Right. I want to play you a
- 18:55Speaker 2: little bit of JD. Van's Uh this is an interview
- 19:02Speaker 2: he did. This is a segment that was taken out
- 19:04Speaker 2: of an interview he did over the weekend that has
- 19:07Speaker 2: to do with immigration. Jad Devance is on a on
- 19:10Speaker 2: a on a role with immigration. Uh you know he's
- 19:15Speaker 2: he's yeah, I mean, he really is. This is his issue,
- 19:19Speaker 2: and I think politically it makes sense. This is the
- 19:22Speaker 2: issue that that I think ultimately gave the presidency the Trump.
- 19:27Speaker 2: Jadi Vance wants the presidency. He's running for president every
- 19:32Speaker 2: every day now, he's running for president any and he really,
- 19:35Speaker 2: he really wants this. In addition, Uh, not only is
- 19:42Speaker 2: this a winning strategy, but you know, he really believes it.
- 19:45Speaker 3: Jad Devance is a national conservative.
- 19:48Speaker 2: He really does believe that that America is a nation
- 19:52Speaker 2: of of of white people. I think that's important to him,
- 19:56Speaker 2: and and it's a people, it's a blood and soil
- 19:58Speaker 2: kind of nationalism at the heart of it. How he
- 20:01Speaker 2: reconciles that with his marriage with his children, that is
- 20:06Speaker 2: between him and his wife. I have no idea, but
- 20:09Speaker 2: but you know that's basically basically being his position. Anyway,
- 20:14Speaker 2: this is any of you he did And this is
- 20:19Speaker 2: a rant, a short rant that he has. It's just
- 20:22Speaker 2: fifty six seconds long, but I think it's it's worth
- 20:27Speaker 2: listening to, and then we'll comment on. And then I've
- 20:30Speaker 2: got another tweet that he put out there about immigration
- 20:33Speaker 2: that is that is interesting, but it just gives you
- 20:37Speaker 2: a sense of I don't know just how ugly, how ugly.
- 20:46Speaker 3: These people are.
- 20:46Speaker 2: I mean, you can be anti immigration without tuning it
- 20:49Speaker 2: into kind of an ugly, kind of xenophobic, racist thing,
- 20:54Speaker 2: but I guess they can't because that's what they are.
- 20:56Speaker 2: Here we go, jad Evince is out of the house?
- 20:59Speaker 4: Is that evicted from the house because there are people
- 21:02Speaker 4: who are going to pay more for rent? And then
- 21:04Speaker 4: what happens is twenty people move into a three bedroom house.
- 21:08Speaker 2: Now notice the example he's giving, right, somebody's somebody knows
- 21:13Speaker 2: is evicted out of the house because somebody else will
- 21:15Speaker 2: pay more for it. I don't know that you can
- 21:18Speaker 2: evict anybody because somebody else can pay more for it.
- 21:20Speaker 2: But if you at least expise, you can kick somebody else,
- 21:23Speaker 2: have somebody else come in because they can pay more
- 21:25Speaker 2: for it. Why you know, that's called markets, that's called
- 21:30Speaker 2: price pricing mechanism.
- 21:32Speaker 3: That's called private property.
- 21:35Speaker 2: Private property, Right, Michael says, I give you on twenty
- 21:41Speaker 2: seconds before he breaks in.
- 21:43Speaker 3: It only took ten seconds. Do you not want me
- 21:47Speaker 3: to break in?
- 21:48Speaker 2: Do you? I mean, what's the deal? I thought this
- 21:51Speaker 2: is what you wanted me to do. It's good to what.
- 21:54Speaker 3: I'm gonna do anyway.
- 21:55Speaker 2: Anyway, And now he's taking this example, right, twenty people
- 21:58Speaker 2: move into this house. This bitter about twenty people. And
- 22:02Speaker 2: this is an example he's given as an example of
- 22:04Speaker 2: white people are so hostile to immigrants. And you know
- 22:08Speaker 2: what the issues up?
- 22:17Speaker 4: Twenty people from a totally different culture, totally different ways
- 22:20Speaker 4: of interacting. Again, we can respect their dignity while also
- 22:25Speaker 4: being angry at the Biden administration for letting that situation happen.
- 22:29Speaker 2: Now we can respect that dignity. We'll see how much
- 22:33Speaker 2: you respect that dignity in a second. The different culture, Yeah,
- 22:36Speaker 2: I mean that's that immigrants come from a different culture.
- 22:38Speaker 3: Typically, that's the way it happens.
- 22:40Speaker 2: Indeed, again, the entire history of America is people coming
- 22:46Speaker 2: from different cultures than becoming your neighbors. That's immigration, that's
- 22:52Speaker 2: the way it works.
- 22:54Speaker 4: And recognizing that their next door neighbors are going to say, well,
- 22:56Speaker 4: wait a second, what is going on here? I don't
- 22:59Speaker 4: know these people, they don't speak the same language that
- 23:01Speaker 4: I do. And because there are twenty in the house
- 23:04Speaker 4: next door, it's a little bit rallier than it was
- 23:09Speaker 4: when there was just a family of four or a
- 23:10Speaker 4: family of five.
- 23:11Speaker 2: It is totally reasonable and acceptable.
- 23:14Speaker 4: For American citizens to look at their next door neighbors
- 23:17Speaker 4: and say, I want to live next to people who
- 23:20Speaker 4: I have something in common with. I don't want to
- 23:23Speaker 4: live next to four families of strangers.
- 23:27Speaker 3: I mean, this is so on American. It's so frigging
- 23:31Speaker 3: on American.
- 23:33Speaker 2: Like, yeah, you absolutely have a right to want to
- 23:37Speaker 2: live next to people you have something in common with.
- 23:41Speaker 2: It would be nice. I don't think I've ever lived
- 23:45Speaker 2: in my neighbors with a lot in common in with.
- 23:47Speaker 2: But you have a right to want that. But you
- 23:52Speaker 2: have a right to use quosion and I'll take force
- 23:57Speaker 2: to that. Do you have a right to violate people's
- 24:00Speaker 2: property rights or their right to move? The sanctity the
- 24:04Speaker 2: dignity of these people, Now it's true, twenty twenty people,
- 24:09Speaker 2: I mean you have to make it crazy like that
- 24:12Speaker 2: to make everybody good. Yeah, I don't want twenty people
- 24:14Speaker 2: moving in next to me, as if that happens. I mean, again,
- 24:18Speaker 2: this is a jd Vance who told us that the
- 24:22Speaker 2: Somalis in this Ohio town were eating the cats and dogs,
- 24:26Speaker 2: which turned out to be completely one hundred percent bogus.
- 24:28Speaker 2: So this is a Jdvance who lies, lies blatantly with
- 24:33Speaker 2: no shame, in a very articulate, passionate way, in order
- 24:38Speaker 2: to portray immigrants in the most monstrous way you can
- 24:44Speaker 2: portray them, because you have to create this image of
- 24:49Speaker 2: the other to justify doing horrible things to the other.
- 24:57Speaker 2: If the other has dignity and his normal and has
- 25:01Speaker 2: individual rights, and it's just another human being like I am,
- 25:04Speaker 2: I'm not going to do horrible things to them. But
- 25:07Speaker 2: if the other is a monster, if the other is
- 25:11Speaker 2: twenty people from a different culture, look different than me,
- 25:14Speaker 2: speak a different language, and they're making a raucous and
- 25:16Speaker 2: they're making noise and they're interrupting my life, then yeah,
- 25:19Speaker 2: they're not completely human. Beat them up, take them away,
- 25:24Speaker 2: arrest them all. Who cares? If you really find yourself
- 25:33Speaker 2: in a situation where you live next to somebody who
- 25:36Speaker 2: you don't like and it really does bother you, and
- 25:39Speaker 2: it's more than just they make a noise making no noise,
- 25:42Speaker 2: you can call the police. You can, you know, you
- 25:45Speaker 2: can address the issue of noise. But let's assume they
- 25:49Speaker 2: don't speak a language and they're not like you, and
- 25:52Speaker 2: they don't have your culture.
- 25:54Speaker 3: You know what you should do. You should pack up
- 25:57Speaker 3: your stuff and leave.
- 25:58Speaker 2: You should move. There is no right to have the
- 26:04Speaker 2: neighbors you want. There is no right to have the
- 26:05Speaker 2: neighbors you desire. There is no right to determine who
- 26:08Speaker 2: your neighbors should be. It's not what it means to
- 26:15Speaker 2: be a free people. And the basis for not liking
- 26:22Speaker 2: them here, beyond the fact that he's created a situation
- 26:25Speaker 2: where there're twenty of them, is that they have a
- 26:29Speaker 2: different culture, is that they speak a different language. But again,
- 26:36Speaker 2: isn't that the whole history of this country. Isn't that
- 26:41Speaker 2: how we became what we are? I mean, I know
- 26:45Speaker 2: it's not popular anymore to say this is a land
- 26:47Speaker 2: of immigrants, but it is, like it or not, and
- 26:51Speaker 2: immigrants from all kinds of places, many, even if they
- 26:55Speaker 2: all came from Europe, didn't speak the same language. Very
- 26:59Speaker 2: few people in Europe, particularly one hundred years ago, spoke English.
- 27:03Speaker 2: They learned it, and god forbid an American would have
- 27:08Speaker 2: to actually find a way to communicate with somebody who
- 27:12Speaker 2: doesn't speak their language. I mean, here's here's the final
- 27:16Speaker 2: part of this and the fact that we had. Oh,
- 27:19Speaker 2: I guess I saw a longer segment and then the
- 27:22Speaker 2: segment he talks about how.
- 27:25Speaker 3: How disturbing it is.
- 27:27Speaker 2: How are you going to go and ask them for soul,
- 27:28Speaker 2: to ask them for sugar, ask them, you know, when
- 27:31Speaker 2: they don't speak the same language. Yeah, I know people
- 27:35Speaker 2: have never managed to do that. They've never managed to
- 27:37Speaker 2: actually commut. Oh no, it's not in the interview. This
- 27:39Speaker 2: is his tweet afterwards. What's reasonable is to want to
- 27:45Speaker 2: share language with your neighbor. He writes, This is JD.
- 27:48Speaker 2: Vanson writing, how do you borrow a cup of sugar?
- 27:51Speaker 2: Resolve disagreements, have a nice conversation. You need a common
- 27:54Speaker 2: language and in America that language is English. Yeah, absolutely,
- 27:59Speaker 2: Then why don't don't you help your neighbor learn the language.
- 28:03Speaker 2: Go over there and try to get a couple of sugar.
- 28:05Speaker 2: It's not that hot to communicate sugar, and it's not
- 28:10Speaker 2: that hard to teach no word for sugar. How did
- 28:16Speaker 2: people in America resolve disagreements a long time ago when
- 28:19Speaker 2: they didn't speak the same language. Now, it's true that
- 28:23Speaker 2: a lot of immigrants live in ethnic enclaves. When they immigrate,
- 28:28Speaker 2: they all live together, Somali's in Minnesota. They all live
- 28:31Speaker 2: in the same place so that they don't have to
- 28:33Speaker 2: worry about this and they don't have to concern the
- 28:37Speaker 2: English speaking neighbors. But then we complain about them isolating
- 28:41Speaker 2: themselves from the rest of American society. And then when
- 28:44Speaker 2: they live next door to us, we complain because they're
- 28:46Speaker 2: not They don't yet speak English. You do need a
- 28:50Speaker 2: common language. They need to assimilate. But how are they
- 28:53Speaker 2: going to assimilate? How they going to assimilate if they
- 28:56Speaker 2: never live next to you? Now I know what he wants.
- 28:59Speaker 2: He wants no immigration, He wants them to stop coming.
- 29:04Speaker 2: He wants stagnation. The divine right of stagnation. That's what
- 29:13Speaker 2: he wants, he continues in the in his thing, the
- 29:20Speaker 2: far left became so deranged in immigration that they're attacking
- 29:23Speaker 2: people for wanting to be able to speak to their neighbors. Really,
- 29:30Speaker 2: that's what people upset about. They can't speak to their neighbors.
- 29:33Speaker 2: How many people actually speak to their neighbors. And again,
- 29:38Speaker 2: you can move, or you can try to communicate with
- 29:41Speaker 2: your new neighbors.
- 29:44Speaker 3: And try to be.
- 29:45Speaker 2: Friendly with them, and maybe they won't be friendly back.
- 29:47Speaker 2: Maybe they're obnoxious jokes.
- 29:49Speaker 3: I know some.
- 29:51Speaker 2: I know quite a few white American, multi generational.
- 29:56Speaker 3: White Americans who obnoxious jokes.
- 29:58Speaker 2: And so do you. Jd Events just read the book
- 30:01Speaker 2: you wrote about where you grew up and they knew
- 30:08Speaker 2: English and they were still obnoxious jokes that you wouldn't
- 30:11Speaker 2: want to have as neighbors. I mean, this is just
- 30:19Speaker 2: encouraging xenophobia, encouraging racism. It's just I mean, this is
- 30:25Speaker 2: just playing to people's fears anxieties, to these xenophobia, to racism,
- 30:33Speaker 2: to encourage it, to fuel it, enhance it so you
- 30:36Speaker 2: can then run as the anti immigration president, saving us.
- 30:39Speaker 3: So those crazy leftists who.
- 30:41Speaker 2: Just want to bring in people who can't speak our language,
- 30:44Speaker 2: so that we have neighbors who are obnoxious to us
- 30:46Speaker 2: or something like that. It's actually not totally reasonable to
- 30:54Speaker 2: expect people next door to you to speak English or anything.
- 31:00Speaker 2: Next door to you should be able to do whatever
- 31:01Speaker 2: the hell they want. This is America, and if they
- 31:05Speaker 2: don't speak English, figure out a way to communicate. And again,
- 31:10Speaker 2: can always sell your house and move somewhere else. Tired
- 31:14Speaker 2: of everything has to panda to whoever whoever is there first.
- 31:25Speaker 2: I mean, that is not America. It's not what America is.
- 31:28Speaker 2: It's not what made America what America is. So Jadvans
- 31:35Speaker 2: also commented on Twitter on a video that a construction
- 31:39Speaker 2: company owner, young construction company owner made. He lives in Louisiana,
- 31:45Speaker 2: and this construction company worker is basically making the point
- 31:49Speaker 2: that in this he's driving while taping this on video,
- 31:54Speaker 2: and he's making the point that ice has now come
- 32:00Speaker 2: to New Orleans, it's come to Louisiana. And since ice
- 32:05Speaker 2: has come, since there's been stepped up in immigration enforcement,
- 32:08Speaker 2: immigrant workers have stopped showing up. So contractors who compete
- 32:16Speaker 2: with him, you know, I don't have work. You know,
- 32:21Speaker 2: they're not willing to go to the job sites. So
- 32:25Speaker 2: job sites have stalled, and as a consequence, this guy
- 32:29Speaker 2: who's an American, white, an American and legal, his phone
- 32:35Speaker 2: hasn't stopped bringing desperate general contractors trying to get him
- 32:40Speaker 2: to come and finish the job that they, you know,
- 32:44Speaker 2: non white guys started, and they're afraid to show up
- 32:47Speaker 2: because they're afraid of being harassed by ICE. So you know,
- 32:55Speaker 2: he's frustrated because these illegal labor comes in, they undercut
- 32:59Speaker 2: wages and it makes it very difficult for him to
- 33:02Speaker 2: get a job, and they.
- 33:04Speaker 3: Undercut his bids.
- 33:08Speaker 2: And now he says it's amazing because the illegal immigrants
- 33:11Speaker 2: don't want to come to work. So now he has
- 33:15Speaker 2: kind of a monopoly the government. The government has basically
- 33:20Speaker 2: eliminated competition. It's taken as competitors out and he says
- 33:29Speaker 2: he's so thankful to ICE and the varnery Homeland Security. Well,
- 33:32Speaker 2: of course, of course, I mean the government is basically
- 33:38Speaker 2: taken out his competitors and they're about to ship them
- 33:41Speaker 2: off to pot them out of the country. His business
- 33:44Speaker 2: is going to go through the roof and he can
- 33:45Speaker 2: charge whatever he wants. This is what you call monopoly.
- 33:49Speaker 2: Government granted monopoly. The government grants it to people who
- 33:53Speaker 2: have citizenship. Gd Van's comments on this video by saying
- 33:58Speaker 2: mass migration is theft of the American dream. It has
- 34:02Speaker 2: always been this way, and every position paper, think tank piece,
- 34:07Speaker 2: and economic study suggesting otherwise is paid for by the
- 34:11Speaker 2: people getting rich of of the old system. I mean,
- 34:16Speaker 2: Jadvance is so dishonest, so dishonest. I mean the reality
- 34:26Speaker 2: is that every position paper, every think tank piece, and
- 34:30Speaker 2: every economic study shows that he's wrong. So and he
- 34:38Speaker 2: knows that, right, jad Bance knows that. So what does
- 34:41Speaker 2: he have to do? You have to say, no, no, no,
- 34:42Speaker 2: it's all paid for. None of it is true. But
- 34:44Speaker 2: every economic study, every one of them, is paidful, every
- 34:48Speaker 2: one of them. And mass migration is theft of the
- 34:53Speaker 2: American dream.
- 34:54Speaker 3: Yes, I didn't realize this.
- 34:55Speaker 2: You should know that the American dream involves not facing competition.
- 35:00Speaker 2: The American dream is about having a monopoly over whatever
- 35:04Speaker 2: trade and profession you have and never facing competition from others.
- 35:12Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I mean this is exactly the same
- 35:15Speaker 2: argument that was made when black workers left the South
- 35:20Speaker 2: in the early part of the twentieth century and moved
- 35:22Speaker 2: north to the industrializing Midwest. And Northeast, and they they
- 35:31Speaker 2: were will need to pay to work for a little
- 35:33Speaker 2: less than they unionized white workers who were in these factories.
- 35:39Speaker 2: You know what the unions did in order to undermine
- 35:43Speaker 2: the competition. They went running to the government to help them.
- 35:48Speaker 3: Help them against the competitors.
- 35:51Speaker 2: People are competing with us, and the color skin is
- 35:53Speaker 2: different than ours.
- 35:56Speaker 3: Reduced the competition. We need to eliminate this competition.
- 35:58Speaker 2: How you couldn't bar them from moving from the South
- 36:02Speaker 2: United States the North United States. You can't do that.
- 36:04Speaker 2: I mean, it limits how much we're willing to do.
- 36:09Speaker 2: So what do you do? What do you do? You
- 36:20Speaker 2: pose a minimum wage?
- 36:22Speaker 3: You hate your country?
- 36:24Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the guy. You pose a minimum wage, and
- 36:29Speaker 2: that minium wage price is out. You said it high enough,
- 36:33Speaker 2: so it prices out all the new people coming in.
- 36:35Speaker 2: And that was the beginning of the minium wage. The
- 36:37Speaker 2: first minimum wage was advocated for, lobbied for, lobbied for
- 36:43Speaker 2: by white workers in the Northeast and Midwest to keep
- 36:48Speaker 2: black workers up. It wasn't successful in the long run,
- 36:52Speaker 2: just like keeping workers from other countries out is not
- 36:56Speaker 2: going to be successful in the long run.
- 36:57Speaker 3: It might for a few years, not in a long run.
- 37:02Speaker 3: But you know.
- 37:07Speaker 2: It works, and and and look, it is such a
- 37:11Speaker 2: it's so appealing, it's so easy to fall into this tramp.
- 37:15Speaker 3: It's so horrible.
- 37:18Speaker 2: Look, the American dream does not involve protecting you from competition.
- 37:23Speaker 2: Nobody who doesn't use force against you, causion against you
- 37:29Speaker 2: can steal the American dream from you. The American dream
- 37:34Speaker 2: is about going out there and succeeding with competition, with freedom.
- 37:43Speaker 2: It's not about protecting you so that you don't face
- 37:45Speaker 2: competition so that you can't fail. It's not about providing
- 37:50Speaker 2: you with monopoly power. The American dream is about leaving
- 37:54Speaker 2: you free, which includes competition to pursue your dream and
- 37:59Speaker 2: to be successful, no guarantees.
- 38:05Speaker 3: So jd Vance is.
- 38:09Speaker 2: I mean the whole nineties cent she was mass migration.
- 38:15Speaker 2: And I look right onto this post by Jade Vance
- 38:18Speaker 2: and I see the first comment is so frigging disappointing
- 38:22Speaker 2: to me. It's by a woman called Lily Tang Williams.
- 38:28Speaker 2: Lily was a student of mine at leadership program with
- 38:31Speaker 2: the Rockies and claimed to be this massive defender of capitalism.
- 38:38Speaker 2: Lily is an immigrant to the United States from China,
- 38:43Speaker 2: so she knows what communism is like. She knows what
- 38:46Speaker 2: democracy is like. She's actually run for Congress and lost.
- 38:50Speaker 2: You ran in Denver, in Colorado, and then she ran
- 38:53Speaker 2: and she moved to New Hampshire and she ran there
- 38:56Speaker 2: and she's lost. But she positions herself as a defenderapolism.
- 39:02Speaker 2: And yet this is what she writes listening to this
- 39:05Speaker 2: young man, a father of three.
- 39:06Speaker 3: So many stories like this.
- 39:08Speaker 2: Democrats, politicians, and many corporations seem forget to forget about
- 39:13Speaker 2: them and their American dream. How about naturalized citizens who
- 39:17Speaker 2: are willing to work hard but can't compete with illegal
- 39:21Speaker 2: aliens low costs? Why naturalized citizens not low cost? You
- 39:30Speaker 2: could easily solve this problem by naturalizing all the illegal immigrants,
- 39:38Speaker 2: do you know, just open up the bortis to anybody
- 39:40Speaker 2: who's willing to work. Some wages will go down, Overall
- 39:44Speaker 2: wages go up. Every economic oh, I forget the economic
- 39:47Speaker 2: studies are corrupt. Some wages, some wages will go down,
- 39:55Speaker 2: Most wages go up. Overall wages go up when migrants
- 40:00Speaker 2: come into a market low cost, low whatever. Lower. So
- 40:06Speaker 2: it's so disappointing that, literally, in spite of being my student,
- 40:10Speaker 2: in spite of having hood. The case for capitalism still
- 40:16Speaker 2: buys into this garbage.
- 40:22Speaker 3: But that's the problem.
- 40:25Speaker 2: Having my perspective on capitalism, having my point of viewing capitalism,
- 40:29Speaker 2: having my position on immigration.
- 40:33Speaker 3: Is not a politically winning position, and it.
- 40:38Speaker 2: Requires going out there and educating people. That's work and
- 40:44Speaker 2: it's hard. People don't want to be educated. People don't
- 40:46Speaker 2: want to learn. It's much easier for them to be emotional,
- 40:49Speaker 2: to succumb to the lowest common denominator. It's kind of
- 40:55Speaker 2: funny because the next comment right under that is a
- 40:59Speaker 2: disgusting comment, but I guess Jadvance deserves it. It's the
- 41:04Speaker 2: comment is jd Vance's family stealing the American dream, and
- 41:08Speaker 2: a picture of jd Vance's family, which is Jadie Vance
- 41:13Speaker 2: and his wife and all her relatives who are all Indian,
- 41:18Speaker 2: not white Americans. Indians very successful in this country. The
- 41:23Speaker 2: Indian community is the most successful group of immigrants, I think,
- 41:27Speaker 2: together with the Nigerians.
- 41:28Speaker 3: Nigerians are more on the.
- 41:30Speaker 2: Education side, Indians more on the income side, but all
- 41:35Speaker 2: very successful. They must have stolen since it's sizero some world, right,
- 41:40Speaker 2: they must have stolen some Americans, some white Americans dream
- 41:44Speaker 2: in order to achieve the success and prosperity that they've achieved.
- 41:48Speaker 2: I don't know how Jadvance lives with himself. I certainly
- 41:51Speaker 2: don't know how Jdvance lives with his wife. I don't
- 41:55Speaker 2: get how that works. I mean, how do you live
- 41:58Speaker 2: if you're his wife? How do you live with somebody
- 42:01Speaker 2: who espouses racist ideas on a regular basis out there?
- 42:09Speaker 2: I don't know?
- 42:12Speaker 3: All right?
- 42:14Speaker 2: Talking about from one, you know, corrpt rasis to another,
- 42:20Speaker 2: let's move to Tucker Carlson. Sataka was in I guess
- 42:24Speaker 2: his new favorite place on planet Earth, Kato, this weekend
- 42:29Speaker 2: at a conference in Doha, where he got to interview
- 42:33Speaker 2: one of his favorite people on planet Earth. According to Taka,
- 42:36Speaker 2: not according to me, the Prime Minister of Kata and
- 42:41Speaker 2: then implies that there's democracy Kata, there isn't. I mean,
- 42:44Speaker 2: he's appointed by the Emir, by the king, the equivalent
- 42:49Speaker 2: of the king. It was one of these interviews where
- 42:54Speaker 2: the entire conversation, the entire thing, was about Israel, and
- 42:58Speaker 2: of course how amazing and generous and virtuous and wonderful
- 43:03Speaker 2: and peace loving and haters of terrorism the Kataris are,
- 43:07Speaker 2: which is of course a complete lie. Taka said, how
- 43:12Speaker 2: much he admires the Katari Prime Minister and is grateful
- 43:15Speaker 2: to be interviewing him. Techosa said that he is going
- 43:20Speaker 2: to that he is buying property and Kata and any
- 43:23Speaker 2: plans to spend some time there, and then the rest
- 43:30Speaker 2: of the time was spent in trying to make a
- 43:32Speaker 2: wedge between Israel and America. How bad Israel was, how
- 43:36Speaker 2: anti American interests Israel was, how Israel stabs America in
- 43:40Speaker 2: the back. The Katari Prime Minister never refers to Israel
- 43:45Speaker 2: as Israel. He calls them the Zionists. The entire interview,
- 43:49Speaker 2: the zionist designist designists, just truly truly disgusting. Now, what's
- 44:02Speaker 2: fascinating about this is that at some point, Tucker says,
- 44:08Speaker 2: Donald Trump is the first president in American history.
- 44:11Speaker 3: Donald Trump is the first president in.
- 44:13Speaker 2: American history to stand up to Israel because he forced
- 44:17Speaker 2: Nataniel to apologize to the Prime Minister of.
- 44:22Speaker 3: Kutta for bombing Kutcha.
- 44:26Speaker 2: And forcing Israel to get into the seas fire. And
- 44:31Speaker 2: he's the first president in all of American history, according
- 44:35Speaker 2: to World Class Is starring an Tucker Carson, to stand
- 44:40Speaker 2: up to Israel and to say no to Israel. Now,
- 44:44Speaker 2: this is so stupid, it's so historically wrong.
- 44:51Speaker 3: It is so.
- 44:55Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know, and people believe it. People
- 44:59Speaker 2: believe it. If you if you see everybody on the
- 45:01Speaker 2: Internet and how they talk about Israel manipulating America and
- 45:04Speaker 2: owning America, and they own American presidents and American persons
- 45:07Speaker 2: do exactly what America says in eight back, this is
- 45:10Speaker 2: all powerful being that controls the world and controls America.
- 45:15Speaker 2: It's just bizill. It's just bizilla.
- 45:17Speaker 3: It's just to give you.
- 45:19Speaker 2: A little bit of history on Israel American relations. This
- 45:22Speaker 2: is short, but it's about America's standing up to Israel.
- 45:26Speaker 3: A few examples among thousands.
- 45:33Speaker 2: In nineteen forty seven, when the United Nations voted on
- 45:38Speaker 2: the establishment of a Petition Plan well so Goldo four
- 45:43Speaker 2: nineteen forty eight, when Israel declares its independence, Truman decides
- 45:50Speaker 2: to recognize Israel as a state positive even though almost
- 45:57Speaker 2: all the people around him, and probably Truman himself, believe.
- 46:02Speaker 3: That Israel will not survive the coming war.
- 46:05Speaker 2: Indeed, on that day, the day is All declares independence,
- 46:08Speaker 2: the armies of seven Arab countries invade Israel, and pretty
- 46:12Speaker 2: much everybody in the West, including the Americans who've never
- 46:15Speaker 2: been excited about the creation of the state of Israel
- 46:18Speaker 2: are convinced Isa's going to be wiped out. So they
- 46:20Speaker 2: recognize it, I think, partially to appease, you know, maybe
- 46:24Speaker 2: the apex of the time, but recognizing that it's going
- 46:28Speaker 2: to go weak. But immediately upon recognizing Israel, just to
- 46:34Speaker 2: make clear how much they are beholden to Jewish interests,
- 46:39Speaker 2: Zionist interest, Truman imposes an armsimbogo on Israel. Can't sell
- 46:46Speaker 2: arms to Israel, while at the same time and the
- 46:51Speaker 2: British do the same thing. By the way, while Jordan
- 46:54Speaker 2: in Egypt are getting British weapons systems, Israel, nobody is
- 46:59Speaker 2: willing to supply them officially with weapons.
- 47:03Speaker 3: Israel wins shockingly.
- 47:13Speaker 2: So by the way, the Songsenbogom lasts until nineteen sixty two.
- 47:22Speaker 2: In the preceding years, Israel begged three presidents Truman, Eisenhower,
- 47:26Speaker 2: and Kennedy the first two years for weapons and was rebuffed.
- 47:31Speaker 2: Even in nineteen sixty two, Israel got some missiles from
- 47:37Speaker 2: the Kennedy administration, and the reason Kennedy agreed to do
- 47:40Speaker 2: it is he hoped that by doing so he would
- 47:45Speaker 2: dissuade the Israelis from pursuing a nuclear weapon didn't work,
- 47:49Speaker 2: but that was his hope. Indeed, the Kennedy administration was
- 47:54Speaker 2: panicking over the fact that Israel was developing nuclear weapons.
- 48:00Speaker 3: It's also interesting that at the time.
- 48:03Speaker 2: Joane Eisenhower administration and Kennedy, the Soviet Union was establishing
- 48:08Speaker 2: relations with all of Israel's neighbors, all of them including
- 48:12Speaker 2: the Egyptians, and Israel was the only country that was
- 48:16Speaker 2: not becoming part of the Soviet sphere of influence. And
- 48:20Speaker 2: it was still true in spite of all those Jewish
- 48:24Speaker 2: donors that the United States refused to provide any significant
- 48:28Speaker 2: weapons and even after nineteen sixty two until nineteen sixty seven, no.
- 48:34Speaker 3: Weapons, very few weapons.
- 48:38Speaker 2: Only after nineteen sixty seven did Israel get significant weapons.
- 48:44Speaker 2: In nineteen fifty six, when Israel took the Sinai Desert
- 48:47Speaker 2: and with the help of and the Bidish in French,
- 48:51Speaker 2: basically took the Suice Canal, it was Eisenhower that forced
- 48:54Speaker 2: the British and French to retreat and forced Israel. He
- 48:58Speaker 2: was against the war, condemned Isral's war, and he forced
- 49:03Speaker 2: Israel to give back the Sinai to Egypt. Only for
- 49:05Speaker 2: Israel to have to retake the Sinai, you know, eleven
- 49:09Speaker 2: years later because of Egyptian aggression. Oops, I didn't mean
- 49:15Speaker 2: to do that. What did I just do?
- 49:19Speaker 3: Some more example right?
- 49:24Speaker 2: You know? In nineteen seventy three, Israel was about to
- 49:27Speaker 2: wipe out the Egyptian Third Army, which they had surrounded.
- 49:32Speaker 2: It was President Nixon and is In Kissinger who forced
- 49:35Speaker 2: Israel not to wipe them out to stop I cease
- 49:41Speaker 2: fire was forced in Israel by the Nixon administration in
- 49:46Speaker 2: nineteen seventy three. What else, fort in nineteen seventy five
- 49:54Speaker 2: had a reassessment foes all armed shipments in order to
- 49:58Speaker 2: bully Primate start robbing into you know, negotiating about withdrawing
- 50:05Speaker 2: from the Sinai. Jimmy caught a twisted Wagan's arms until
- 50:11Speaker 2: he gave until Israel agreed to give all of the
- 50:16Speaker 2: Sinai to Egypt. Originally, Israel was wanted to keep a
- 50:20Speaker 2: strip of land along the Red Sea going down to
- 50:23Speaker 2: Charlemacher for its own security, and caught up basically said
- 50:30Speaker 2: no way, you have to give it all to the Egyptians.
- 50:34Speaker 2: Reagans sold a waxes to the Saudis. Suspended of sixteen's
- 50:43Speaker 2: from Israel after the Golden Heights were annexed by the
- 50:46Speaker 2: Israeli government and famously guaranteed safe passage to yes Or
- 50:52Speaker 2: from Beirut in spite of the fact that Israel was
- 50:55Speaker 2: just about to wipe him out and his man, and
- 50:58Speaker 2: thus guaranteed the disaster that the Palestinians had had since
- 51:05Speaker 2: then and Israel have had since then. Bosnia, you know,
- 51:12Speaker 2: wield a ten billion loan guarantees until the Israeli government,
- 51:19Speaker 2: you know, quite uncle about settlements. Clinton dragged Hildbarock to
- 51:25Speaker 2: Camp David and try to make him give Alpha Jerusalem
- 51:29Speaker 2: in ninety seven percent of Judaan and Samaria. Luckily, I think,
- 51:32Speaker 2: for Israel, Yes or Alpha turned that proposal down. Obama
- 51:38Speaker 2: made the Irandiel in spite of Israeli objections, and you
- 51:43Speaker 2: could go on and on and on and on. I mean,
- 51:48Speaker 2: the number of examples is stunning, stunning of the United
- 51:56Speaker 2: States indeed, time and time and time and time and
- 51:59Speaker 2: time again preventing Israel from winning wars. That the completely
- 52:03Speaker 2: withdraw off of Israeli true some Lebanon was because of
- 52:07Speaker 2: the Americans twisting in Israel's arms. I mean, Israel is
- 52:12Speaker 2: so often rejected Israel in favor of appeasing Saudi Arabia,
- 52:18Speaker 2: appeasing Egypt, or appeasing the Arab world.
- 52:21Speaker 3: That it is ridiculous.
- 52:27Speaker 2: So, you know, for Tucker Cosson to say that no
- 52:32Speaker 2: American president has ever sided with an Arab state over
- 52:35Speaker 2: Israel until Donald Trump forced Baby to apologize to Kata.
- 52:39Speaker 3: Is just absurd on its face.
- 52:43Speaker 2: But it's a typical kind of nonsense that Tucker Cosson
- 52:47Speaker 2: spouts in a regular basis.
- 52:49Speaker 3: And then add to.
- 52:50Speaker 2: That that he never asked the Katari's about all the
- 52:55Speaker 2: funding that they provide to anti American, anti American programs,
- 53:04Speaker 2: study programs at American University. Is why they have been
- 53:07Speaker 2: promoting the radical left's agenda on American campuses. Why the
- 53:13Speaker 2: Katari government supported isis. He accepts at face value the
- 53:21Speaker 2: Katari's claim that they only support the Palestinian people, they
- 53:25Speaker 2: never give money to Ramas, which is complete nonsense. He
- 53:29Speaker 2: accepts face value. They claim that they never supported terrorism.
- 53:32Speaker 2: They support terrorism to this day. They're supporting Islamist terrorism
- 53:36Speaker 2: throughout the world. And he never gets asked about the
- 53:40Speaker 2: Muslim Brotherhood and why the Muslim Brotherhood have been basically
- 53:45Speaker 2: kicked out of every other Arab country, and the only place,
- 53:49Speaker 2: only place where they are welcome is in Doha, in Kata,
- 53:53Speaker 2: where they are supported. Tuck of course, doesn't ask about
- 53:57Speaker 2: any of that.
- 54:01Speaker 3: I don't know if.
- 54:01Speaker 2: Tucka is bought by the Kataris, I don't know, if
- 54:04Speaker 2: it's an issue of money, I just don't know, or
- 54:07Speaker 2: if he is ideologically now converted to the cause of
- 54:12Speaker 2: the Islamists. But what a sellout, What an absolute disgrace
- 54:21Speaker 2: this man is. He lies constantly in order to promote
- 54:29Speaker 2: an anti American, an anti American, anti individualist, anti capitalist,
- 54:36Speaker 2: anti Western civilization cause, a really disgusting human being. All Right,
- 54:46Speaker 2: we still got a lot. I thought today was going
- 54:48Speaker 2: to be short. I completely underestimate how much I've got
- 54:51Speaker 2: to say about each one of these topics. All Right,
- 54:54Speaker 2: here's a quick one, quick fun one.
- 54:56Speaker 3: This one is a This is.
- 54:58Speaker 2: A graph of glue global millionaire migration. Graph of global
- 55:03Speaker 2: millionaire migration. Where do migrants leave and where do they
- 55:07Speaker 2: go to? Look at the bottom of that list. This
- 55:11Speaker 2: is in twenty five. Look at the bottom of the list.
- 55:15Speaker 2: Which country has lost the most millionaires in the world
- 55:20Speaker 2: more than China, and China's got a big population lots
- 55:24Speaker 2: of millionaires. The most migrations out of any country of
- 55:33Speaker 2: millionaires is the United Kingdom. Because of its tax policies,
- 55:38Speaker 2: it gave up on granting any kind of tax benefits
- 55:42Speaker 2: the millionaires if they moved to London. That expired in
- 55:45Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, so they got fully taxed.
- 55:48Speaker 3: If they lived in London.
- 55:49Speaker 2: So they left, and then you got a plethora of
- 55:53Speaker 2: new taxes added on. And more millionaires are leaving the UK,
- 55:59Speaker 2: and expectation is that next year, next year, the United
- 56:04Speaker 2: Kingdom will continue to be the number one losers a millionaires. Now,
- 56:11Speaker 2: if you are like many people on the left who
- 56:14Speaker 2: think the world has too many billionaires or two million
- 56:18Speaker 2: millionaires and billionaires, then you will be happy that these
- 56:21Speaker 2: people are leaving. But if you understand that, you know
- 56:27Speaker 2: when these people leave it is a massive, massive brain
- 56:32Speaker 2: drain on your economy. It's a capital drain because they
- 56:36Speaker 2: take their money with them from your economy, and it's
- 56:39Speaker 2: a tax drain on your government, which means everybody else
- 56:43Speaker 2: has to pay more taxes because government spending never goes down. Now,
- 56:50Speaker 2: notice where else people are leaving from the leaving from
- 56:56Speaker 2: the bricks. This is another reason why bricks will never
- 56:59Speaker 2: be a dominant political power right in terms of replace
- 57:03Speaker 2: the dollar in all of this, because they can't even
- 57:06Speaker 2: keep their own people. China, India, Russia, Brazil all losing millionaires. China, India, Russia, Brazil.
- 57:18Speaker 2: That's most of the ricks, four of the five, only
- 57:21Speaker 2: one missing in South Africa. They just don't have millions
- 57:24Speaker 2: to leave. Israel's losing millionaires. That's interesting. I guess a
- 57:31Speaker 2: lot of these start up, you know, entrepreneurs who sell
- 57:35Speaker 2: their companies. Then they got a lot of money and
- 57:37Speaker 2: they leave is It's a tough place to live South Korea.
- 57:43Speaker 2: I don't know why South Korea is losing millionaires. France, Spain,
- 57:46Speaker 2: Germany because they tax millionaires to death. Israel the same
- 57:50Speaker 2: taxes are very high. Who gains millionaires now, it's I
- 57:55Speaker 2: mean UAE, Okay, I mean they set up a nice
- 57:58Speaker 2: luxury condo in the UE, they get citizenship. I don't
- 58:02Speaker 2: think many of them live there full time. But yeah,
- 58:05Speaker 2: United States surprising left enough. As much as we complain,
- 58:10Speaker 2: As high as taxes might be, it's still better than
- 58:13Speaker 2: the rest of the world. So people are coming here.
- 58:15Speaker 2: If the millionaires. Italy has a special deal for millionaires. Switzerland,
- 58:23Speaker 2: low taxes, Saudi Arabia, God help them, Singapore, Portugal, Greece
- 58:30Speaker 2: all have special deal. I mean Singapore gained low taxes, Portugo,
- 58:34Speaker 2: Greece have special.
- 58:35Speaker 3: Deals for millionaires.
- 58:37Speaker 2: Canada, Australia, I guess relatively low taxes and relatively free
- 58:41Speaker 2: Bass to live. People are moving from unfree, high tax,
- 58:47Speaker 2: high tax being emphasis in the UK to low tax
- 58:52Speaker 2: free slash or free. A nice graph for a year
- 58:59Speaker 2: and twenty, let's see. I think we can go through
- 59:06Speaker 2: the next few stories pretty quickly. Russia, just you know,
- 59:13Speaker 2: just if you're not sure what Putin thinks of this
- 59:18Speaker 2: national security strategy that was put out. We talked about
- 59:21Speaker 2: this on Friday. I did a whole section on the
- 59:24Speaker 2: national security strategy. While the Russian presidents really likes, really
- 59:31Speaker 2: likes this strategy. Indeed, he thinks it's completely in line
- 59:34Speaker 2: with Russia's view of the world, the view that Europe
- 59:40Speaker 2: and Central Asia should be left to the Russians.
- 59:43Speaker 3: That's Russia's sphere of influence.
- 59:47Speaker 2: China should have East Asia and South maybe Southeast Asia,
- 59:52Speaker 2: Middle East. We're not sure we'll fight over the Middle
- 59:54Speaker 2: East another time, and America can have, you know, the
- 59:57Speaker 2: Western hemisphere. In a sense, Moscow's public acknowledgement of the
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: alignment between the former between Russia and the United States
- 1:00:08Speaker 2: underlines how much cozier the relationship has become since Trump
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: returned to office earlier this year. This is from the
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: This is fumer Is at the World Russian Political Political
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: story about this.
- 1:00:22Speaker 3: This is a quote from the Russians.
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: The adjustments we are seeing, I would say, a largely
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: consistent without vision, and perhaps you can hope that this
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: could be a modest guarantee that we will be able
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: to constructively continue our joint work on finding a peaceful
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: settlement in Ukraine. In other words, Ukraine surrender at the
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: very least, at the very least. This is Dmitri Peshkov,
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: who is one of Putin's advisors. So yeah, the Russians
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: are happy. I don't know if Americans should be happy.
- 1:01:00Speaker 2: Out Americans should be happy. I don't think it's a
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: politically good document. I think Americans should be worried, particularly
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: given that Russia is happy. That should worry people in
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: and of itself. But Russia is happy because it basically
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: leaves much to Russia. It doesn't condemn Russia, it doesn't
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: criticize Russia. It doesn't present Russia as an enemy or
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: a foe in any kind of way. The one only
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: part of the world that is presented as one that
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: the United States has to have an active interest in.
- 1:01:36Speaker 3: Regime change is Europe.
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: This document presents it as the United States needs to
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: advocate for regime change in Europe, needs to become more
- 1:01:47Speaker 2: right wing, not right wing in economic sense, right wing
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: in the nationalistic, xenophobic, keep the immigrants out sense, and
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: elevate religion sense. China, Now, I know, I know, I know,
- 1:02:04Speaker 2: I know.
- 1:02:04Speaker 3: You guys thought that the.
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: Whole point of tariffs was to penalize the Chinese. You
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: guys thought that the whole point of tariff was the
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: curb Chinese exports.
- 1:02:17Speaker 3: Well, it turns out that the opposite has happened.
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: China has now a one trillion dollars surplus with the
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: world for the first time in history. Exports are boomed
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: in spite of the two four In the first eleven
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: months of the year, China's trade suplus in dollar terms
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: was one point zero seven six trillion. That's significantly better
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: in eleven months or slightly better than eleven months than
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: the whole of twenty twenty four. You know, China is
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: very resilient to what America has to tariffs at least
- 1:03:06Speaker 2: right uh, TEFs have nothing to do with China, have
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: everything to do with Trump's mercantilistic milk into list view
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: of the world, his ignorance when it comes to economics,
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: and is ignorance in understanding economic principles. And yeah, China
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: in terms of experts, it's got China's got huge problems
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: that have nothing to do with Trump. Then everything to
- 1:03:32Speaker 2: do with its own bad economic policies. The real estate
- 1:03:35Speaker 2: there's still you know, a disaster, the debts that their
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: regional governments are taken on. You know, who knows how
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: they will ever, if ever they ever pay them back.
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: The private sector is suffering from over over over controlling
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: central government. The economy is not growing, young people unemployed,
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: and they've got demographic collapse. Although demographic collapses probably overstated
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: in terms of labor shortage, because what's actually gonna happen,
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: And this is why China is so heavily investing in
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: robots that they don't need many of these workers because
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: you know, the delver placed them with robots.
- 1:04:14Speaker 3: Robots will step in UH.
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: To continue to work in these factories and to continue
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: to produce these export goods. But anyway, so China is
- 1:04:26Speaker 2: imploding from within. But it's not because of American policy.
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: It's not because what Trump thinks he's doing to them. Indeed,
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: as I said before, Trump Trump is incompetent in dealing
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: with the Chinese. All right, finally, Hamas, you know, we
- 1:04:49Speaker 2: were told, we were told Hamas was ready to turn
- 1:04:54Speaker 2: a new leaf, and that Hamas is is I mean,
- 1:05:00Speaker 2: Trumpez guarantee to us that Ramas is going to lose
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: power and they're gonna disarm and they're going to give
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: up their weapons, or if they don't give up their weapons,
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: somebody is going to disarm them. This is all being promised,
- 1:05:13Speaker 2: This is being said well over the weekend. Uh. Halad Micheal,
- 1:05:19Speaker 2: a senior and you know, long time senior official in Hamas,
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: one of the few webs and being killed by the Israelis.
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: He was targeted, he was supposed to be killed in Doha,
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: a shame that they missed. Wanted to make it clear
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: that this was indeed not the case. He made it
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: clear that Hamas views the battle as far from over.
- 1:05:42Speaker 2: He made it clear that Ramas is going to insist
- 1:05:44Speaker 2: that it will keep its weapons, that peace can only
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: be achieved by one way. There is only one way
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: to achieve peace, and that is through the destruction of
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: the state of Israel. Only in Israel is destroyed will
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: there be peace. Even then, not so much, because then
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: they'll move on to destroying some other countries. Diplomacy. Hamas
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: will never give into diplomacy. He may clear Ramasa has
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: no intention of giving up control of Gaza. You know,
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: all in a public speech which has been translated, and
- 1:06:20Speaker 2: it has been very clear. He wasn't hiding anything, He
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: wasn't pretending anything. Remember, this is a Michal who lives
- 1:06:30Speaker 2: in Doha. I guess he's Tacker Carson's neighbor. Now, one
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: of Tacker Carson's neighbors. Yeah so, And they don't care
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: about gods and lives. They're quite happy with Israel bombing them.
- 1:06:48Speaker 2: They know Israel's not killing that many. But even if
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: Isroel was killing that many, Kamas doesn't care. Hamas doesn't
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: care when Iyota about godsen lives. They care about their
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: own power. They care about the stroying as well. That's
- 1:07:04Speaker 2: what they care about. They don't care about. They don't
- 1:07:07Speaker 2: actually care about, you know, the people. Yes, all right, that,

- 1:12:08Speaker 2: the super chat. We're doing quite well in terms of
- 1:12:11Speaker 2: in terms of our second hour goal. We're getting there
- 1:12:15Speaker 2: slowly but surely, so keep it coming. I appreciate it.
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: All right, lots of questions have a heart stop in
- 1:12:22Speaker 2: forty five minutes, so let's see if we can get
- 1:12:24Speaker 2: through all the questions by then. Here's the mechanism. This
- 1:12:28Speaker 2: is homemaker. Here's my mechanism by which they perform this
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: blank out quote by but.
- 1:12:34Speaker 3: The left unquote.
- 1:12:36Speaker 2: The degree to which the principle was violated by Trump's
- 1:12:39Speaker 2: predecessors is either exaggerated or ignored. Quote nothing here, nothing
- 1:12:45Speaker 2: new here. They say, as if magnitudes don't matter. Here's
- 1:12:51Speaker 2: the mechanism. By I'm trying to completely understand the point. Yeah,
- 1:12:57Speaker 2: I mean they'll do anything. They'll take power, they'll violate
- 1:13:02Speaker 2: your rights, they'll contradict what they've said in the past,
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: and now the blank out is but the left they
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: did it, or they did more of it, or this
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: is the only way to fight them. And you know,
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: they'll exaggerate, they'll distort, they'll pervert what actually happened and
- 1:13:22Speaker 2: what actually they're doing in order to somehow make it reasonable,
- 1:13:28Speaker 2: make it possible. So yeah, I agree with you completely, Michael. Okay, Michael,
- 1:13:42Speaker 2: the intellectual rot that is the Republican Party has begun
- 1:13:45Speaker 2: to show for what they really are. It cannot be
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: honestly said that they are conservatives. The idea is that
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: idea is dead. These aren't nationalists, theocrats, nihilists. Yeah, I
- 1:14:00Speaker 2: think they are. I think absolutely they are. These dangerous people.
- 1:14:04Speaker 2: There is a definite nihilistic streak there, and Republicans need
- 1:14:10Speaker 2: to be repudiated for this turn, even if that means
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: suffering through God forbid, but suffing through a leftist or
- 1:14:21Speaker 2: at least a sender left government. Again, there's just no
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: options anymore. Screwed either way, Michael, Dubai and Qatar obviously
- 1:14:33Speaker 2: have some economic freedom, or they couldn't have built those skyscrapers.
- 1:14:37Speaker 2: Having oil above alone isn't enough. Raw materials mean nothing
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: if you don't have the freedom to trans form them
- 1:14:46Speaker 2: into resources.
- 1:14:47Speaker 3: Well, that's not exactly right.
- 1:14:50Speaker 2: The fact is that the rest of the world has
- 1:14:54Speaker 2: uses for that oil. Kata can also build and Dubai
- 1:15:00Speaker 2: can build refineries. They can refine that. Oh, you don't
- 1:15:03Speaker 2: need freedom for that, You just need the money to
- 1:15:05Speaker 2: pay Western engineers to build it for you. As long
- 1:15:07Speaker 2: as the Free West cooperates with them, they can get
- 1:15:11Speaker 2: the expertise that they need in order to create.
- 1:15:14Speaker 3: The oil and then ship it out.
- 1:15:16Speaker 2: And the money just flows in, and it is a
- 1:15:19Speaker 2: lot of money by any standard. It is a fortune.
- 1:15:22Speaker 2: And to remember these are tiny little countries. Now, what
- 1:15:25Speaker 2: they do need is to have rulers who don't immediately
- 1:15:30Speaker 2: waste that money. Indeed, the resource curse in economics the
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: idea that if you have resources, your economy has cursed,
- 1:15:40Speaker 2: usually as a consequence of the fact. For example, in
- 1:15:43Speaker 2: Spain during the sixteenth and seventeenth century where they got
- 1:15:47Speaker 2: all the gold from South America, but then they wasted it.
- 1:15:50Speaker 2: The idea is not to waste it, but to invest
- 1:15:52Speaker 2: it in things like skyscrapers and in various things that
- 1:15:57Speaker 2: will attract West to come and bring more capital and
- 1:16:02Speaker 2: investment and expertise and brains. So they allow for freedom
- 1:16:07Speaker 2: up to a point. They create a pseudo freedom, a
- 1:16:11Speaker 2: potent freedom, just like in China. Dubai does this more
- 1:16:16Speaker 2: than Kata. That's why Dubai is the place where all
- 1:16:19Speaker 2: the millionaires go, not Katau. Kata doesn't have that many
- 1:16:22Speaker 2: foreigners living in Katau, wealthy foreigners.
- 1:16:25Speaker 3: Dubai does.
- 1:16:26Speaker 2: They create this sense of freedom, but it's a mirage.
- 1:16:31Speaker 2: At any day, they could clamp down on anything you do.
- 1:16:34Speaker 2: They have full authority over you, They take your passports.
- 1:16:40Speaker 3: You are not free there. It is a It is
- 1:16:42Speaker 3: the equivalent of a dictatorship.
- 1:16:44Speaker 2: It is a dictatorship to monarchy, equivalent of a monarchy.
- 1:16:49Speaker 2: But right now they have a benevolent monarch at least
- 1:16:53Speaker 2: in Dubai. Qatar is a little different. Who as long
- 1:16:57Speaker 2: as people are bringing in money, as long as they
- 1:17:00Speaker 2: see a benefit of having westerners there leave those Westerns
- 1:17:03Speaker 2: and know alone.
- 1:17:04Speaker 3: And that's the freedom that they that they have.
- 1:17:07Speaker 2: Uh and and and uh. That's how these countries function.
- 1:17:14Speaker 2: But the source is the huge amount of money that
- 1:17:18Speaker 2: flows in Michael. Freedom doesn't necessarily lead to benevolence if
- 1:17:24Speaker 2: the population is spoiled, entitled, and nihilistic, but evalence only
- 1:17:27Speaker 2: comes from a healthy philosophy and psychology.
- 1:17:30Speaker 3: Even if economic freedom is present.
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: Yes, but you know that healthy psychology and and cerdainly
- 1:17:39Speaker 2: and even a healthy philosophy are more likely when I
- 1:17:42Speaker 2: mean it feeds off of each other. That produces freedom,
- 1:17:46Speaker 2: but also freedom encourages that. So when you have that,
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: you get more of of of that loops even as
- 1:17:52Speaker 2: and even as philosophy detwoates the positive psychology and the
- 1:17:57Speaker 2: philosophy of the past imprinted if you will, than your
- 1:18:00Speaker 2: sense of life can keep you going and keep that
- 1:18:03Speaker 2: benevolence going for a while. So freedom doesn't necessarily lead
- 1:18:07Speaker 2: to benevolence, but it almost It usually does. It usually does,
- 1:18:14Speaker 2: And of course the more free, the more benevolent. As
- 1:18:17Speaker 2: you start losing freedom, you start becoming more cynical and
- 1:18:22Speaker 2: more nihilistic, and you're likely to be less malevolent but
- 1:18:27Speaker 2: less benevolently, less benevolent. Paul have Emen commented on Facebook
- 1:18:33Speaker 2: about Trump being one of the best presidents in US
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: history and those who think definitely are worse than Southern
- 1:18:38Speaker 2: slave owners. Many objectives intellectuals agree with him. I don't
- 1:18:44Speaker 2: think that's true, So, I mean I would like a
- 1:18:48Speaker 2: list of the objectives intellectuals who agree with him. I
- 1:18:51Speaker 2: can think of maybe two, so I don't consider too many.
- 1:18:58Speaker 2: So I don't know who the many is.
- 1:19:01Speaker 3: I don't know what.
- 1:19:03Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you'd have to come on, you have
- 1:19:05Speaker 2: to come up maybe in the chat list the people
- 1:19:08Speaker 2: the intellectuals objectives to the intellectuals who agree with him, because
- 1:19:12Speaker 2: I can only agree think of two who would agree
- 1:19:15Speaker 2: with Harriman. But look, generally, don't tell me what Haverman
- 1:19:21Speaker 2: and Bernstein and these other people are saying about Trump.
- 1:19:26Speaker 3: I really don't care.
- 1:19:27Speaker 2: I mean, they've disqualified themselves from being of significance. Adam
- 1:19:35Speaker 2: Mossov commented on Facebook. Adam Ossof said agreed with Harriman
- 1:19:40Speaker 2: that Trump was one of the best presidents in US history.
- 1:19:45Speaker 2: I know Bernstein did, but Adam Osof did that. I mean, oh,
- 1:19:50Speaker 2: you just I don't think Adam would say that. I mean,
- 1:19:53Speaker 2: I might be wrong. I haven't talked to Adam, but
- 1:19:55Speaker 2: I do not think Adam would say that. So, No,
- 1:20:04Speaker 2: I know he voted for him. Lots of people voted
- 1:20:05Speaker 2: for him. I've said many times I don't consider voting
- 1:20:08Speaker 2: the issue right.
- 1:20:10Speaker 3: I want to know who thinks.
- 1:20:11Speaker 2: Who are objectivists, intellectuals who think that Trump is one
- 1:20:17Speaker 2: of the best presidents in your history. I want to
- 1:20:21Speaker 2: know who those are, other than Harriman and Bernstein. I'm
- 1:20:32Speaker 2: not don't ask me to gossip. You guys are gossiping.
- 1:20:35Speaker 2: You can provide me with the gossip you on Facebook.
- 1:20:37Speaker 2: I'm not on Facebook. I don't know who they are.
- 1:20:40Speaker 2: Michael says, Andrew Bunstein just posted God blessed Donald Trump.
- 1:20:43Speaker 2: Hard to imagine light level of mental gymnastics. Yeah, I
- 1:20:46Speaker 2: don't get it. It's sad. I like Andy. I don't
- 1:20:50Speaker 2: like Haroman, so it's not sad for me that Harriman
- 1:20:53Speaker 2: is nuts. That's just predictable. But Andy I like. So
- 1:20:58Speaker 2: it saddens me that Andy has taken this, in my view,
- 1:21:02Speaker 2: a completely irrational position. Daniels says, Shapiro and others like
- 1:21:08Speaker 2: to blame inflation today and the peak after COVID on
- 1:21:12Speaker 2: Biden and failed to recognize Trump's role in it. It's
- 1:21:15Speaker 2: too infuriating, especially from Shapiro.
- 1:21:17Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree.
- 1:21:19Speaker 2: The reality is that the big stimulus that Trump did
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: during COVID was the first push towards inflation. No question,
- 1:21:31Speaker 2: Biden doubled up on it, or maybe even tripled up
- 1:21:34Speaker 2: on it, but it definitely started with Trump and then
- 1:21:40Speaker 2: got elevated got elevated with Biden. And it's sad because
- 1:21:47Speaker 2: they will spin anything to make Biden look bad because
- 1:21:51Speaker 2: they that's a cheap way for them to make Trump
- 1:21:55Speaker 2: look good. All right, let's see, Michael. If people like
- 1:22:13Speaker 2: Andrew Bernstein simply abandoned objectivism, I would just put them
- 1:22:17Speaker 2: in the rank of the unthinking.
- 1:22:21Speaker 3: But they are doing much worse. They are claiming that
- 1:22:25Speaker 3: their delusions.
- 1:22:26Speaker 2: Rest on the only body of ideas capable of saving
- 1:22:29Speaker 2: the country from future collapse. Yeah, I agree. I agree.
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: It would be healthier for the movement if they left
- 1:22:35Speaker 2: given this position, but they're not, so we're gonna have
- 1:22:39Speaker 2: to deal with it. So, you know, stop listening to them,
- 1:22:43Speaker 2: stop following them. I've told you, stop following them, stop
- 1:22:46Speaker 2: sanctioning them. You know, just you know, particularly have them
- 1:22:51Speaker 2: and who's just despicable at this point. Uh, just just
- 1:22:54Speaker 2: ignore ignore it, ignore it, and make sure to make
- 1:23:01Speaker 2: your case, make it clear that they don't represent all
- 1:23:08Speaker 2: the voices and objectivism, because we don't want the culture
- 1:23:11Speaker 2: to think that that is the position of objectivism. Michael,
- 1:23:16Speaker 2: is tribalism and manifestation of a nihilism or the traditional
- 1:23:20Speaker 2: reaction to it, No, I mean, tribalism is a much
- 1:23:28Speaker 2: broader phenomena. Tribalism doesn't necessitate nihilism in and of itself.
- 1:23:33Speaker 2: I don't think, and nihilism isn't always you know, tribal,
- 1:23:39Speaker 2: although it often is. Tribalism is a broader phenomena. There
- 1:23:44Speaker 2: are different types of phenomena. Tribalism is more of a
- 1:23:47Speaker 2: kind of political It's also got epistemological you know characteristics.
- 1:23:58Speaker 2: Nihilism is is metaphysical, epistemological, and model. It's about destruction
- 1:24:05Speaker 2: for the sake of destruction. So I don't think tribalism
- 1:24:09Speaker 2: manifestation on anaism. Think about the fact that tribalism has
- 1:24:13Speaker 2: existed in the beginning of man, and nihilism is probably more.
- 1:24:17Speaker 3: Of a.
- 1:24:20Speaker 2: You know, it's probably not a monophenomena, but not one
- 1:24:23Speaker 2: that necessarily existed in every tribe that ever formed in
- 1:24:28Speaker 2: for primitive mankind. Somebody says I'm an immigrant and I'm
- 1:24:38Speaker 2: anti immigration and I am a capitalist. Debate me or
- 1:24:42Speaker 2: on No, why would I debate you? You can ask
- 1:24:45Speaker 2: a question, you can use the super chat to challenge
- 1:24:48Speaker 2: me and to make arguments against But what incentive do
- 1:24:53Speaker 2: I have to to.
- 1:24:56Speaker 3: Debate some random person on my chat?
- 1:25:05Speaker 2: Michael? The Rattlesnake TV guys vigorously defending Nick Frantis. If
- 1:25:11Speaker 2: the left hates somebody, the right has to defend them,
- 1:25:14Speaker 2: no matter what, whether.
- 1:25:16Speaker 3: It's Putin or Nuck Frantis.
- 1:25:17Speaker 2: It really is disgusting tribalism. But look the Rattlesnake TV
- 1:25:22Speaker 2: has and all of the people who are anti immigration,
- 1:25:26Speaker 2: almost all of them when you really push them, not everybody,
- 1:25:30Speaker 2: but when you really push them, a lot of them,
- 1:25:33Speaker 2: it turns out a Nickfrentis type racist. Michael, are the
- 1:25:41Speaker 2: intellectuals and leaders behind MAGA cultivating hatred they can no
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: longer contain? I mean yes, we'll see if they can
- 1:25:52Speaker 2: contain it or not. And it's and we'll see if
- 1:25:56Speaker 2: they want to contain it. Maybe they want to use
- 1:25:58Speaker 2: that hatred. I mean, it's it's to tell exactly what
- 1:26:01Speaker 2: they're going to do and how it's all going to
- 1:26:03Speaker 2: play out. There's still you know, there's still three years
- 1:26:05Speaker 2: before the next election, and it's going to be interesting
- 1:26:08Speaker 2: how it all plays out. A lot can happen in
- 1:26:10Speaker 2: a year, a lot can happen in three years. So
- 1:26:14Speaker 2: it could be that they want this hatred and they
- 1:26:17Speaker 2: will contain it and they will use it. Lincoln, the
- 1:26:21Speaker 2: wonder bouts merchants and acquisition deal is like a Taylor
- 1:26:24Speaker 2: Swift concert for finance needs nerds. I assume you mean
- 1:26:29Speaker 2: who wear Patagonia vests as we anxiously await news like
- 1:26:34Speaker 2: millennial women waiting for our albums. Okay, I have to
- 1:26:39Speaker 2: admit that there was I never wore Patagonia, even though
- 1:26:42Speaker 2: you could argue it was a finance nerd, So maybe
- 1:26:45Speaker 2: maybe I never had the right dress code. Let me
- 1:26:48Speaker 2: thank some stickers, Thomas, thank you for the sticker.
- 1:26:52Speaker 3: Roland Henry.
- 1:26:55Speaker 2: Let's see Alan Jeremy, Mary, Eleene, Catherine Timba, let's see
- 1:27:08Speaker 2: Mike Dial. I think I got everybody. I think I
- 1:27:14Speaker 2: got everybody. Yeah, there's timber Skid Okay, I got everybody.
- 1:27:18Speaker 2: Thank you, Thanks all the stickers. You can keep them
- 1:27:20Speaker 2: coming in. We're still about one hundred and twenty short
- 1:27:23Speaker 2: of our second hour goal, and we got thirty minutes
- 1:27:27Speaker 2: to get this.
- 1:27:27Speaker 3: We've got plenty of time.
- 1:27:28Speaker 2: Although it's going to take me less than thirty minutes
- 1:27:31Speaker 2: to cover all the questions I have, so probably less
- 1:27:35Speaker 2: than thirty minutes if you want to jump in to
- 1:27:37Speaker 2: participate in this trade value for value that we are
- 1:27:41Speaker 2: engaged in right here, pauses, what's your opinion about the
- 1:27:44Speaker 2: possibility of restricting people to one country citizenship?
- 1:27:48Speaker 3: Why by what standard?
- 1:27:51Speaker 2: I mean, I can understand restricting people not to have
- 1:27:54Speaker 2: the citizenship of an enemy country, But why do you care?
- 1:27:57Speaker 2: Why does anybody care if somebody else has another ship?
- 1:28:01Speaker 2: I mean, unless they are enemy countries, and then I
- 1:28:03Speaker 2: understand h I think it's a bogus pretense of of
- 1:28:09Speaker 2: some some some.
- 1:28:10Speaker 3: Vague notion of loyalty.
- 1:28:14Speaker 2: You know, most people who have second passports, don't you know,
- 1:28:18Speaker 2: live in one place and they and they and they
- 1:28:20Speaker 2: uh a patriotic I have two passports.
- 1:28:24Speaker 3: I'm a patriot of one country.
- 1:28:25Speaker 2: I consider myself a citizen in full meeting of one country,
- 1:28:30Speaker 2: it's just too much of a hassle to get through
- 1:28:31Speaker 2: it to the second passport and you and it's convenient.
- 1:28:35Speaker 2: It's incredibly convenient. I wish I had a European Union passport.
- 1:28:39Speaker 2: I would I would love to have a European Union
- 1:28:41Speaker 2: password because it's convenient to get into Europe with a passport.
- 1:28:44Speaker 2: As long as you have passport controls and passport restrictions
- 1:28:47Speaker 2: and visas and all this stuff, getting multiple passports is
- 1:28:52Speaker 2: incredibly beneficial. So yeah, I mean, if you had a
- 1:28:57Speaker 2: farm properform policy, you define your enemies and then you
- 1:29:01Speaker 2: would say you cannot have these countries passport with you on.
- 1:29:07Speaker 3: But for that, you'd have to have a proper farm policy.
- 1:29:09Speaker 2: You actually actually make definitions about who's who, right Lincoln,
- 1:29:21Speaker 2: In less than ten years, the narrative and hillbilly elegy
- 1:29:24Speaker 2: went from these people are mostly trashy, drug addicted who
- 1:29:29Speaker 2: had losing their economy, coming to the economy coming to
- 1:29:34Speaker 2: these are helpless victims who need ballots. Yeah, I mean
- 1:29:38Speaker 2: Jade Vance's own rhetoric about them has changed like that
- 1:29:42Speaker 2: over the last ten years. It used to be there
- 1:29:44Speaker 2: losers and they need to stand up for the You
- 1:29:48Speaker 2: know and and improve themselves. It's a self help.
- 1:29:51Speaker 3: Kind of thing.
- 1:29:52Speaker 2: They need to get better to today we need to
- 1:29:56Speaker 2: bail them out. Robert Sipowski argues, we have zero free will.
- 1:30:04Speaker 2: Whether you become a murderer or wildly successful is determined
- 1:30:09Speaker 2: by your eye color. Good for Sepolski, I hope he
- 1:30:14Speaker 2: lives his life accordingly. I don't I have free will
- 1:30:20Speaker 2: what happens to me. I mean, it's not all determined
- 1:30:23Speaker 2: by me, because there's accidents and stuff and the other
- 1:30:26Speaker 2: people I interact with. But I shape my own life.
- 1:30:32Speaker 2: I color Michael some positive news. It's looking more and
- 1:30:37Speaker 2: more like the Supreme Court will throw out most almost
- 1:30:40Speaker 2: all the towers. Well if they throw out throughout only
- 1:30:43Speaker 2: the twos they were established based on the Emergency Powers Act,
- 1:30:49Speaker 2: not the towers that are based on you know, the
- 1:30:53Speaker 2: the president's national security prerogatives. So it's it's it's most
- 1:30:59Speaker 2: of the house, but not all of the tests. Far
- 1:31:01Speaker 2: from all of those. So, for example, it won't trash
- 1:31:05Speaker 2: some of the most destructive tests, like the steel towests,
- 1:31:08Speaker 2: the illuminate test, those will not be eliminated. Some of
- 1:31:12Speaker 2: the tests in China will not be eliminated. So, but
- 1:31:14Speaker 2: it don't make life a lot easier for a lot
- 1:31:16Speaker 2: of people. And I hope this will be quoted. Indeed
- 1:31:20Speaker 2: does that, and we should hopefully we'll hear soon one
- 1:31:22Speaker 2: way or the other. Anim asked which president we're competent
- 1:31:30Speaker 2: on China. None, I don't think. I don't think any
- 1:31:35Speaker 2: of them will.
- 1:31:35Speaker 3: Competent on China.
- 1:31:40Speaker 2: No. But that's not surprising because I don't think any
- 1:31:45Speaker 2: American president is incompetent in a phone policy since World
- 1:31:50Speaker 2: War Two, at least, I admil Gott. If the US
- 1:31:55Speaker 2: electionic coint is is someone.
- 1:31:57Speaker 3: Hobable like that? Right or left? What it is?
- 1:31:59Speaker 2: Those options glory to the CCP. No, Look, I mean
- 1:32:05Speaker 2: Isol's option is survival. It will survive. It is all
- 1:32:10Speaker 2: I think. I think people over state Israel's reliance. Yeah,
- 1:32:17Speaker 2: it is all not have access to F thirty five's anymore.
- 1:32:20Speaker 2: It will have to develop, maybe even develop its own
- 1:32:24Speaker 2: plane it had in the past.
- 1:32:26Speaker 3: It was on the verge of building its own fighter jet.
- 1:32:30Speaker 2: It will have to. You know, there's some other weapons systems,
- 1:32:36Speaker 2: but Israel. You know, I heard somebody say, you know,
- 1:32:41Speaker 2: beyond nukes. Israel has nukes, so it doesn't have to
- 1:32:44Speaker 2: worry about its neighbors in that sense. But beyond nukes,
- 1:32:47Speaker 2: Israel has an unbelievable amount of firepower, Like we only
- 1:32:52Speaker 2: saw a fraction of that firepower during the two plus.
- 1:32:56Speaker 3: Years of war.
- 1:32:58Speaker 2: For example, is Al did not use any if it's
- 1:33:01Speaker 2: ground to ground ballistic missiles, which it has plenty of.
- 1:33:05Speaker 2: It did everything from the air. And for Israel, maybe
- 1:33:09Speaker 2: everything from the air is easier and more straightforward, but
- 1:33:14Speaker 2: it did everything from the air. It has unbelievable homemade
- 1:33:20Speaker 2: weapon systems that do not require.
- 1:33:24Speaker 3: Us help.
- 1:33:26Speaker 2: It's a rich country that could get a lot richer,
- 1:33:34Speaker 2: so it will survive. It doesn't mean it will go
- 1:33:37Speaker 2: to China, but it will mean maybe some European countries
- 1:33:41Speaker 2: and it become more self sufficient when it comes to
- 1:33:43Speaker 2: at least, you know, military weapon systems. Jonathan should the
- 1:33:52Speaker 2: United States have responded to North Korea's invasion of South
- 1:33:55Speaker 2: Korea nineteen fifty with nuclear blackmail rather than sending thousands
- 1:33:59Speaker 2: of troops today? I mean, the reality is the United
- 1:34:02Speaker 2: they should not have responded to the invasion. It was
- 1:34:05Speaker 2: none of America's business. South Korea was not any kind
- 1:34:09Speaker 2: of strategic necessity, So the United States should have stayed
- 1:34:17Speaker 2: out of it. If it was going to go in,
- 1:34:22Speaker 2: then yes, it should have used nuclear nuclear blackmail in
- 1:34:28Speaker 2: order to stop the North Koreans and used nuclear weapons
- 1:34:31Speaker 2: if that became necessary. It should not have sacrificed and sacrificed,
- 1:34:37Speaker 2: not sacrificed the lives of thousands of American kids for
- 1:34:42Speaker 2: what for the sake of South Korea, which I mean,
- 1:34:45Speaker 2: it's a wonderful place now, But those kids didn't deserve
- 1:34:50Speaker 2: to die for that.
- 1:34:53Speaker 3: Lincoln.
- 1:34:54Speaker 2: I sent Ari my contact info for their intellectual incubator
- 1:34:57Speaker 2: programs for the twenty twenty six class. Also applied for
- 1:35:00Speaker 2: fellowship by Pallanteer for those with Asperger's syndrome. Which should
- 1:35:08Speaker 2: which should? Which should?
- 1:35:09Speaker 3: Be great?
- 1:35:11Speaker 2: Oh so it's a it's a it's a fellowship that
- 1:35:14Speaker 2: they give to people with Asperger's.
- 1:35:16Speaker 3: Interesting quote.
- 1:35:17Speaker 2: Congratulations and good luck. I hope they both you get
- 1:35:21Speaker 2: accepted to both.
- 1:35:22Speaker 3: That would be great.
- 1:35:26Speaker 2: Michael, is objectivism not gaining traction in France because altruism
- 1:35:31Speaker 2: in a part of France, part of French arrogant, arrogance,
- 1:35:35Speaker 2: part of French identity is smug altruistic philosophy. I mean,
- 1:35:39Speaker 2: that's part of it.
- 1:35:40Speaker 3: That's part of it. Augustine comp the originator.
- 1:35:43Speaker 2: Of the term uh, the term altruism and a and
- 1:35:47Speaker 2: it's the most explicit advocate for altruism. As I ran
- 1:35:52Speaker 2: understood it.
- 1:35:54Speaker 3: Was French, of course, but also.
- 1:35:57Speaker 2: The French is so arrogant that they won't read books
- 1:35:59Speaker 2: written by non French authors, so they don't take ideas
- 1:36:06Speaker 2: from non French people seriously. So it's just hard to
- 1:36:11Speaker 2: market the book. It's hard to get people to read it.
- 1:36:13Speaker 2: It's hard to get it into the bookstores because it's
- 1:36:15Speaker 2: not by.
- 1:36:16Speaker 3: A French author.
- 1:36:22Speaker 2: Michael, Will they cure for colds and flues be discovered
- 1:36:27Speaker 2: in our lifetime or will they have to crush it?
- 1:36:30Speaker 2: I don't think the FDA would crush it. If there
- 1:36:33Speaker 2: was a cure and you could make so much money
- 1:36:36Speaker 2: off of something like that that.
- 1:36:39Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sure companies are looking at it.
- 1:36:43Speaker 2: There was some hope that mRNA vaccines would be able
- 1:36:46Speaker 2: to do it, but now you know they FD is
- 1:36:49Speaker 2: crushing MRNED the vaccines, so maybe that's the sense it
- 1:36:51Speaker 2: would crush it. I don't know. I don't know what
- 1:36:54Speaker 2: the state of the science or the investment in the
- 1:36:59Speaker 2: cures for colds and Fluids loan dissent one hundred percent
- 1:37:06Speaker 2: in favor of Netflix right to acquire Warner. As a
- 1:37:08Speaker 2: movie and disc fan, though, I'll just say, if you
- 1:37:13Speaker 2: love a film or series that's included in your deal
- 1:37:17Speaker 2: by a physical disc of it, while you can.
- 1:37:22Speaker 3: All right, why because.
- 1:37:23Speaker 2: Then it will be taken off the platform and you'll
- 1:37:24Speaker 2: never be able to see it again. I guess not
- 1:37:29Speaker 2: everything is on disc though, so a lot of stuff
- 1:37:31Speaker 2: you couldn't even get disc if you want, even if
- 1:37:33Speaker 2: you want it. Daniel, can you elaborate on encouraging assimilation
- 1:37:38Speaker 2: without the government adopting a code of beliefs outside of
- 1:37:41Speaker 2: the rule of law. Yeah, I mean, just don't allow
- 1:37:46Speaker 2: them to take welfare, which means they will have to
- 1:37:49Speaker 2: get a job, and don't don't have bilingual programs in school.
- 1:37:57Speaker 2: School should be in English. Now again, private schools can
- 1:38:01Speaker 2: do what they want, but government schools should be in English.
- 1:38:05Speaker 2: Don't have them swearing in as citizens using alternative languages
- 1:38:11Speaker 2: to English. The swearing in ceremonies should be in one
- 1:38:14Speaker 2: language and one language only. Make English have a proficiency
- 1:38:18Speaker 2: test in English in order to get citizenship. You shouldn't
- 1:38:21Speaker 2: be allowed. You shouldn't become citizen unless you're proficient in English.
- 1:38:24Speaker 2: That have forced them to learn English, which will help
- 1:38:26Speaker 2: them assimilate. So there are a number of things like that,
- 1:38:33Speaker 2: but mainly it's get them.
- 1:38:35Speaker 3: Into the workforce. Get them into the workforce.
- 1:38:40Speaker 2: But yeah, things like English school, teaching school that the
- 1:38:46Speaker 2: US is the best place as the best culture and
- 1:38:51Speaker 2: they should give up the culture of their homeland and
- 1:38:56Speaker 2: embrace American culture as part of civics classes. But again,
- 1:39:01Speaker 2: once you have private schools, they can teach whatever they want.
- 1:39:07Speaker 3: Jamie.
- 1:39:08Speaker 2: A lobster license costs five hundred thousand, and no new
- 1:39:12Speaker 2: ones are issued. Should government be able to say I
- 1:39:16Speaker 2: can't harvest lobsters without it? And where is the line?
- 1:39:20Speaker 2: Can we catch them to extinction? I mean, it's a
- 1:39:25Speaker 2: good question. So there has you have to be able
- 1:39:28Speaker 2: to develop some kind of regime around You have to
- 1:39:35Speaker 2: be able to develop some kind of property rights regime
- 1:39:37Speaker 2: around fish and lobsters and see animals.
- 1:39:42Speaker 3: You have to be able to privatize them.
- 1:39:43Speaker 2: In other words, Now, how exactly that is done, I'm
- 1:39:47Speaker 2: going to leave to experts in the field. I don't know,
- 1:39:50Speaker 2: but I know one way is to give licenses. But
- 1:39:55Speaker 2: those licenses you should be able to buy and sell
- 1:39:57Speaker 2: those licenses. It's quite reasonable the known new ones are issued.
- 1:40:02Speaker 2: If the private property, the lobsters, their population is not growing,
- 1:40:07Speaker 2: they haven't gone into new places. You know, you can't
- 1:40:10Speaker 2: you can't create more of the resource. Then it's it's
- 1:40:14Speaker 2: reasonable that no more licenses are issued. But you have
- 1:40:18Speaker 2: to find creative ways to assign property rights to fisher
- 1:40:23Speaker 2: to fishermen over either certain areas in the sea or
- 1:40:28Speaker 2: certain populations of fish. And I know Iceland has a
- 1:40:34Speaker 2: method to do that that's quite effective, but I haven't
- 1:40:37Speaker 2: really studied, you know, what is the most effective and
- 1:40:40Speaker 2: what is the most consistent with property rights method to use?
- 1:40:44Speaker 2: You would have to figure that out.
- 1:40:46Speaker 3: But you shouldn't be.
- 1:40:49Speaker 2: Able to just catch them with no limitation, because you
- 1:40:54Speaker 2: have to you have to be able to recognize some
- 1:40:57Speaker 2: sense of property rights over you know, over the seas.
- 1:41:09Speaker 2: Let me just say, I'm I'm really this close to
- 1:41:11Speaker 2: blocking gubbo Ish or whatever his name is encoveras you
- 1:41:16Speaker 2: not engage with him. He's not he's not an honest player.
- 1:41:22Speaker 2: He's not asking questions because he's interested in the answer.
- 1:41:26Speaker 2: And I'm and very close to blocking him partially because
- 1:41:29Speaker 2: he takes up some space in the chat, but also
- 1:41:31Speaker 2: because he spends a lot of time going on different
- 1:41:33Speaker 2: chats in my videos, and and uh, you know, undermining
- 1:41:39Speaker 2: in any kind of way he can me right, and
- 1:41:44Speaker 2: uh and and and just kind of kind of uh
- 1:41:47Speaker 2: speaking ill of the show, which is just which he
- 1:41:53Speaker 2: then comes and you know, participates as if he's as
- 1:41:56Speaker 2: if he's hearing good for good will. So this is
- 1:41:58Speaker 2: a destructive guy. There nothing, there's no positive, So just disengage.
- 1:42:03Speaker 2: The best thing is just block him on your side.
- 1:42:05Speaker 2: And if he continues, I'll just block him on mind.
- 1:42:10Speaker 3: Uh, Paul Ferris.
- 1:42:14Speaker 2: Economist Robert Larry Ludlow said affordability is greatly overrated. God,
- 1:42:20Speaker 2: I mean, the Giza needs to get off the stage.
- 1:42:22Speaker 2: I don't even understand what that means. Affordability is overrated.
- 1:42:25Speaker 2: So so now being able to afford stuff, Yeah, that's overrated.
- 1:42:28Speaker 3: You should just shut up and be quiet. Just just
- 1:42:31Speaker 3: just just enjoy the.
- 1:42:34Speaker 2: Uh, the the the the eminence being in the presence
- 1:42:39Speaker 2: and the eminence of Donald Trump.
- 1:42:41Speaker 3: Don't don't complain. You're not allowed to complain.
- 1:42:44Speaker 2: Not allowed to complain. Uh, Jamie, who is the best
- 1:42:52Speaker 2: and worst president in your opinion and why I think
- 1:42:57Speaker 2: the best, I mean, the best is is hard. It's
- 1:43:00Speaker 2: it's probably George Washington because the only of two terms
- 1:43:05Speaker 2: and left and established the tradition of a two term presidency.
- 1:43:11Speaker 2: And he could have stayed and become king, because he
- 1:43:15Speaker 2: helped found this country and create this country and build
- 1:43:17Speaker 2: this country.
- 1:43:18Speaker 3: So I think it.
- 1:43:19Speaker 2: I think George Washington is probably number one of the
- 1:43:23Speaker 2: non Founding Father presidents. From what I've read, the best
- 1:43:28Speaker 2: is Grover Cleveland. Certainly not cool, he's cool. He's very mixed.
- 1:43:32Speaker 2: But Grover Cleveland who was brilliant and and had to
- 1:43:38Speaker 2: fight off regulations and government intervention and tariffs and all
- 1:43:44Speaker 2: these things. And I think he vetoed more bills than
- 1:43:46Speaker 2: any other president or something like that, and he was
- 1:43:49Speaker 2: just terrific. So I would say I would say Cleveland
- 1:43:55Speaker 2: Lincoln is again and mixed in many respects. He's a
- 1:43:58Speaker 2: great president, particularly given his understanding of the Declaration and
- 1:44:04Speaker 2: its warle in America and its meaning, and his willingness
- 1:44:08Speaker 2: to fight the Civil War and to and engage in
- 1:44:10Speaker 2: winning it. So, but on the other hand, he used
- 1:44:16Speaker 2: emergency powers to both impose an income tax, to print
- 1:44:20Speaker 2: money and uh, and and to have a draft. So
- 1:44:25Speaker 2: those are big negatives. They're not little negatives, the big negatives.
- 1:44:28Speaker 2: And I did it for a good cause, winning the
- 1:44:33Speaker 2: Civil War. But but yeah, I mean they were still
- 1:44:39Speaker 2: bad that I think puts a blemish on his on
- 1:44:45Speaker 2: who he is and what he was. Also the suspense
- 1:44:47Speaker 2: of habeas corpus, it's also one of his uh whereas.
- 1:44:52Speaker 3: I don't know anything negative. The Cleveland did uh worst.
- 1:44:59Speaker 3: It's also hard because there are a lot of them.
- 1:45:00Speaker 3: Is real competition.
- 1:45:02Speaker 2: There's you know, there is Teddy Roosevelt, who is the
- 1:45:08Speaker 2: first really really really bad president in the sense that
- 1:45:11Speaker 2: he sets the tone for the rest of the twentieth century.
- 1:45:14Speaker 2: There is a Woodrow Wilson who did some of the
- 1:45:18Speaker 2: most horrific things in American history. You know, under his
- 1:45:21Speaker 2: presidency you get the income tax and the Federal Reserve
- 1:45:24Speaker 2: and World War One and a bunch of other things.
- 1:45:27Speaker 2: And generally the first progressive president fully progressive restaurants. There's
- 1:45:32Speaker 2: FDR who completely socialized everything and try to, you know,
- 1:45:40Speaker 2: in the fastest way, take over much of the US economy.
- 1:45:44Speaker 2: And then there's Donald Trump, who has brought the lowest
- 1:45:48Speaker 2: character to the presidency and has diminished its honor more
- 1:45:56Speaker 2: than any other president, any other president by far, and
- 1:46:00Speaker 2: all the kind of attributes of these others. Although he
- 1:46:04Speaker 2: doesn't believe in anything, whereas Wilson and Roosevelt, and both
- 1:46:08Speaker 2: Roosevelt actually believed in something, something bad and we're trying
- 1:46:12Speaker 2: to impose it.
- 1:46:12Speaker 3: Trump brings.
- 1:46:15Speaker 2: A mafia thuggishness to the presidency that's unique and for
- 1:46:19Speaker 2: the first time. So I don't know how to rank them,
- 1:46:21Speaker 2: but certainly Trump, Fdr and Wilson have to be in
- 1:46:27Speaker 2: the in the worst five, if nothing else. You know,
- 1:46:33Speaker 2: Obama and Biden up pretty pretty high on the list
- 1:46:36Speaker 2: of worst presidents as well, but just not quite as
- 1:46:38Speaker 2: high as these guys. Tamil, Have you seen the Manhattan
- 1:46:44Speaker 2: Institute's survey on GP voters' views on the Holocaust and
- 1:46:48Speaker 2: does it concern you? Yes, I mean there's a general
- 1:46:50Speaker 2: decline in GP knowledge, appreciation of liberty, understanding of history.
- 1:46:57Speaker 2: And you know, the number of people in the GP
- 1:47:01Speaker 2: now engaged in Holocaust denial is stunning. It's over thirty
- 1:47:04Speaker 2: percent according to the survey. And my guess is it's
- 1:47:07Speaker 2: even higher if you cut it up by age. So yeah,
- 1:47:12Speaker 2: it's very, very, very concerning the GP has deteriorated.
- 1:47:19Speaker 3: It used to be.
- 1:47:21Speaker 2: At least somewhat positive, and it's deteriorated into complete, complete garbage.
- 1:47:37Speaker 2: I cannivor tell Governess. There's many hours of audio and
- 1:47:42Speaker 2: many pages written about the objective's theory of free will,
- 1:47:46Speaker 2: where he'll get better answers than a count events show,
- 1:47:49Speaker 2: especially if he's not super chatting. Yeah, I mean, but
- 1:47:52Speaker 2: the point is that he's not interested in better answers.
- 1:47:57Speaker 2: He's not interested in a real discussion. He's interesting in poking.
- 1:48:04Speaker 2: That's all he wants to do is poke. He's interested
- 1:48:07Speaker 2: in subvoting, He's interested in undermining. He's not interested in
- 1:48:11Speaker 2: an honest discussion about free will. There is a ton
- 1:48:14Speaker 2: I mean, there's some some excellent stuff by Uncle Gate
- 1:48:18Speaker 2: and and uh and Gregselmieri and havey, Vince Wanga, Uh
- 1:48:23Speaker 2: you know has done.
- 1:48:24Speaker 3: He's just a he's just a weird I think he's
- 1:48:27Speaker 3: a weirdo.
- 1:48:28Speaker 2: I'm sure he's a weirdo in person, but he's a
- 1:48:30Speaker 2: weird type of troll who has nothing else to do
- 1:48:35Speaker 2: but come uh and and ask the same question over
- 1:48:39Speaker 2: and over again, and everything and and but in addition,
- 1:48:43Speaker 2: undermined now let's assume, yeah, he wants to be part
- 1:48:46Speaker 2: of this I don't know community and he wants to engage,
- 1:48:49Speaker 2: and then he undermines it by by trashing the show
- 1:48:51Speaker 2: at every opportunity that he has and trashing me at
- 1:48:54Speaker 2: every opportunity he has when he goes on chat. So
- 1:48:58Speaker 2: there's no honesty there, There's not there's no there. There,
- 1:49:01Speaker 2: there's nothing to deal with. Lincoln.
- 1:49:07Speaker 3: Good news.
- 1:49:08Speaker 2: Found out all my AP credit transferred over to University
- 1:49:12Speaker 2: of Arizona, so I actually have more than a year
- 1:49:14Speaker 2: of credit built up and will graduate early. Congratulations, that's really, really,
- 1:49:19Speaker 2: really terrific. Good job, and I will get back to
- 1:49:23Speaker 2: you about the talk at Arizona as soon as I
- 1:49:26Speaker 2: know when I'm coming out there.
- 1:49:29Speaker 3: Jamie from Canada.
- 1:49:31Speaker 2: In the Big Short movie, Pitt's character said everything, the
- 1:49:35Speaker 2: Big everything, the employment rate. Every time the employment rate
- 1:49:39Speaker 2: drops one percent, forty thousand people die. I couldn't find
- 1:49:43Speaker 2: out whether that was true or written for the movie.
- 1:49:46Speaker 3: Do you have any.
- 1:49:47Speaker 2: Knowledge every time the unemployed the employment rate drops one percent,
- 1:49:53Speaker 2: so one percent fewer people are working, forty thousand people die.
- 1:50:00Speaker 2: That's made up for the movie. I think it's just
- 1:50:02Speaker 2: a way to dramatize the point. I don't think it's
- 1:50:05Speaker 2: real Jamie from Canada. What would they die from? Right?
- 1:50:12Speaker 2: People here want to save a public beach from private
- 1:50:16Speaker 2: purchase and building of a golf course.
- 1:50:19Speaker 3: Who should get their way?
- 1:50:22Speaker 2: Well, I mean everything public should be purchased privately. That is,
- 1:50:27Speaker 2: you should privatize all public land. And then you know,
- 1:50:32Speaker 2: the private owner should be able to do whatever they
- 1:50:34Speaker 2: want with it, you know, assuming it's not infringing in
- 1:50:37Speaker 2: anybody's rights, like it's not polluting your property, not noise
- 1:50:45Speaker 2: or whatever, and they build the infrastructure necessary to run
- 1:50:48Speaker 2: a golf course or whatever.
- 1:50:50Speaker 3: So yep. So it's.
- 1:51:00Speaker 2: I believe all property should be privately owned and private
- 1:51:03Speaker 2: owners should have wide latitude in terms of what they
- 1:51:05Speaker 2: do with it.
- 1:51:06Speaker 3: There should be very few.
- 1:51:07Speaker 2: Things that where the government steps in and says you
- 1:51:10Speaker 2: can't do that. All right, guys, thank you, I thank you,
- 1:51:17Speaker 2: and all the super chat is really really appreciated. Thank
- 1:51:19Speaker 2: you to everybody here. I will be back tomorrow. We
- 1:51:22Speaker 2: will have shows all week. I will see you then.
- 1:51:26Speaker 2: Have a great rest of your day. Bye, everybody,
