• 1:07
  Speaker 1: We will see. Let's get started.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: So you know, I was, I was, I wasn't sure.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Should I talk about Dewandio? Shouldn't I talk about Vandel?
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Is there a deal? Isn't it?
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: I decided I should say this. Nobody knows anything. I mean,
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: I'm sure there's some people who know something. Trump knows something,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: that Tanian knows something, but generally the media and people
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: on Twitter and everywhere else, don't know anything.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Like every five minutes, actually every three minutes, there is.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: A post on Twitter there's a deal here, the fourteen
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: bullet points of a deal. They're already to sign, and
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: then you know, three minutes later it's, oh, the deal's off.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: They they disagree about the what to do with the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: uanium and then.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: You know, now Pakistan's I mean, Chi've just canceled these
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: plans to Tayhon tonight. He was supposed to go to
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: announce the final Iran US agreement, the final deal.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Now it's off. No explanation given. I mean, it just
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: goes on. And the whole day it's been like this,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: you know, and the market boop poop poop, all prices
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: whoops up.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Down, up, down, up down, because every time a deal
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: is announced, all prices go down, and then it kept
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: us about a deal and it goes up.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Nobody knows. But here's here's my suspicion for what it's worth.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I hate to say this because its one of those
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: predictions that you know, if it if it turns out wrong,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: I guess you guys will let me know that's okay.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: The other day, like two days ago, NETANIAO and Trump, supposedly,
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: according to media reports from what Place, sources inside the
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: White House.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Said the Netanelle and Trump had a big fight. It
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: was a tense call, you know.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Basically, Trump said I'm gonna do a deal and Antonielle
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: was pissed off and they argued. And then the next day,
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: you know, Trump said, oh, Natonio is a great guy,
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: but he'll do what I tell him to do. He'll
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: do what I tell him to do. And everybody took
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: it as Trump is going to cut a deal and
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Netaniello is upset and there's a rift in US Israeli relationship,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: and that means the deal is on because we know
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Natoniell is against the deal and all of this stuff.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: And and and then Antoniell says, you know, I'm postponing.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: I was going to attack on Tuesday, and now it's
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: going to be sometime in the future.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I don't I mean, I actually think that is all
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: just a decoy. I mean, you know, who knows.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: But as soon as I heard that Trump and Antenna
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: had to fight, and it was coming out from sources,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: it was like, isn't this what happened when the war started? Like,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: wasn't it true light, Like just a few days before
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: the war started, they had a big fight and everybody thought, oh,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Trump is going to cut the deal and there's not
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: going to be a war, and Antonio's pissed off, and.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I think they're gaming this.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: I you know, I don't usually attribute three D chess
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: to Trump, and I would be surprised if the Ranians
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: bought this, But I think it's just it's bluffing.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: And you know, it's hard to tell, I mean again
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: from the internet, either the deals fell apart, the timing shifted,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: or something changed in the last few hours that nobody's
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: talking about yet.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: That's because nobody knows anything except the Uranians and Americans
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: in the Pakistani's negotiatings. This is according to the sources.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: L Orbia el Arabia, who just a little while ago
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: announced that that there's a final deal and they put
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: out the nine point statement.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Of what that deal is, and I read all of them.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: It's terrible deal if this is the deal, But not
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: a single one mentions uranium, And I was like, I
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: don't even think Trump could get away with going for
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: a deal like this. Doesn't even mention uranium and nuclear
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: or anything to do with it. So and then you know,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: a few minutes later there was another fourteen point That
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: was a nine point deal.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: This is a thirty point a fourteen point deal.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: The internet is a wash with misinformation, just a bunch
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: of a bunch of bs out there. I like numbers
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: says like Trump and the Alone fighting trumping the alone
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: really did fight, and that that was There's no question
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: in my mind that they fought. But this is this,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: I think is is made up or exaggerated. And I
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: don't know if there's a deal or not. I doubt
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: it because, as I've said for a while now, it
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: really has seemed like the Iranians don't want a deal
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: or don't want a deal on terms that would satisfy Trump,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: even Trump, given what he has promised and what he
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: has said. So I actually suspect no deal is not
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: going to you know, and they might not be a deal.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: And as I've told you, I really wouldn't be surprised
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: if if bombing starts tonight tomorrow. I don't you know,
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: who knows, I have no idea.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I have no idea. Oh it's not a Friday today,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Today's Thursday, right, Yeah, I mean this is you know,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the pizza the pizza thing.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: When the pizza joints around the Pentagon have incredibly busy,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: super busy in the afternoon, that means operation is ongoing.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Something is going to happen, right, because it means all
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: the people in the Pentagon are buying pizzas for a
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: long night at the Pentagon because they're doing something. And
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: according to Mario Nafal, who you know, half the time
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: has complete bs and half the time has breaking news
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: and you never know which is which, but he's completely.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Full of it.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Anyway, according to the pizza you know predicta, the pizza
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: places near the Pentagon are slammed at three pm. This
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: is a known DC signal when the staff can't leave
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: for lunch when they're ordering in because nobody's going anywhere.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Something is happening inside that building when we'ld hope something
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: is happening inside their building. Last time this pattern showed
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: up was the night before the originally ron strike package
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: was finalized. Actually that's not true, right, like two three
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: weeks ago there was another pizza alarm and everybody thought
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: that it was gonna happen. So anyway, Mario is speculating
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: that the US will attack over the weekend. And this
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: is this is prep pizza. This is not attack pizza.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: This is preparation pizza for the attack which will happen
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: over the weekend, over the weekend. And I don't know
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: if the pizzas they eating a pepperoni or not.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, how to tell again exactly what's
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: going on? And nobody knows.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: And there's a lot of misinformation, and there's a lot
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: of massive speculation, and the markets are jumping all over
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: the place as a consequence, as a consequences.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: But we don't know. I'm still hopeful. I'm still hopeful
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: that the that the outcome will be that the outcome
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: will actually be.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: That we start bombing tonight, Tomorrow night, Saturday, Friday night,
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Saturday night, whatever. Maybe these Raelis are waiting for all
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: the Iranian leadership to come for one gathering and attack
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: them there.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't know. We will have to wait
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: and see. All Right, today, we're gonna focus much of
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: our attention on uh.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Later on we'll talk about I'm gonna show you a
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: bunch of clips on Jeff Bezos, this interview for CNBC
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Yellows show you a couple of clips of you know,
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: crazy leftists attacking attacking billionaires, and then we'll do Jrpiezas.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: But before that, I did want to mention the mosque shooting. Ooh, Tyler.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Tyler just came in, Tyler from Zurich.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Tyler. One hundred and fifty Swiss fanks. That's
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: a lot of money. The Swiss fank is super strong.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: We've also got a question. Michael promised questions today and
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: he's already living up to that fifty dollars question for Michael.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: So I assumedly going to be a lot of those
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: because she said there's got a lot of questions today.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: But thank you, Tyler. I really appreciate that. Alli.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Let's talk a little bit about the mosque shooting in
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: San Diego. You might have been about this, but two
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: teenage boys seventeen and eighteen, I thank went over to
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: the big San Diego Islamic Center. This is the Islamic
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: center that the that the nine to eleven terrorist actually
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: were there before, you know, when they were going to
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: flight school in southern California. This is a this is
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: an Islamic center that's been known for being quite radical. Anyway,
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: these two. These two teenagers were thirty weapons, went to
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: the Islamic Center and started shooting the place up. They
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: killed three people and and up by accounts, eye witness accounts.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: From what I understand, they would have killed a lot
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: more people if not for their heroic actions of the
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: security God there.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Will get back to the security God in in in
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: a little bit, but the security God there.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: As they as they left the Islamic Center, the one
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: kid shot the other and then shot.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Himself, so they both basically committed suicide.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: It turns out that they left u seven five page
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: manifesto behind to explain their actions, and it is quite
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: a piece of work, this seventy five page manifesto. It
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: turns out it turns out that they hated Jews. They
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: also hated Islam. It's excuse me. In spite of what
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: some early commentators on Twitter were, we're putting they were
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: not trans but they.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Were in cells.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: We'll talk more about the in cells with Nikos on
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Saturday when we're talking about the manosphere.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: They clearly hated women. Got they just go on and
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: on and on about hating women.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: You know, the only people that hated more than women
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: would Jews hated black people, they hated all immigrants, legal
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: and illegal.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: They hated gay entrance people.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: But they were not Maga because they hated Trump and
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: they didn't identify with the right, even though they praised
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Hitler and they were they were, you know, probably kind
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: of neo Nazis, and they open encouraged the left to
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: take out Trump and JD.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Evans. They sound like Nick foyantess people. They sound like.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Goeypers, which is what I think most most people have
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: follow Nick foyintis uh frustrated in cells who were just
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: uh uh are driven by hate. Anyway, it's an interesting document,
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: uh you know, so here's some here's some quotes from
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: this manifesto. They talk about, after the Jew, the most
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: evil creature in this world is the woman, and then
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: the guy rights.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: This is one of them.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure if it's Caleb or or Caine. They
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: each wrote sections of this manifesto. Anyway, No, this is
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: this is This is actually Caleb Vasquez, who considered himself
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: white even though he's a Vasquez. Anyway, he's he turns
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: out he was short, so he says being short, especially
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: now more than ever, is nothing short of a tortuous
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: humiliating ritual. As someone who's been short my whole life.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: Trust me, I know from experience that they've.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Never they'll never let me forget it. When a goal
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: is shy or introverted, it's cute.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: But I, as a guy, for being the exact same
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: and being as seen, am seen as weird and awkward.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: When a goal is autistic, it is seen as quirky.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: But I, being an autistic as a guy, am treated
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: like a retard. I mean, it's just, you know, one
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: of them identifies. Clarke identifies as a Christian. Vasquez identifies
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: as he says, quote, my religion is the white race.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: The place is just filled with just you know, hate,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: hate and disgust.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: And frustration that their own lives, and hatred of their
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: own lives, and hatred of really of themselves. It's a
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: hate filled, you know, horror show. Vasquez calls racial minorities
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: and Muslims bioweapons of the cakes. For those of you
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: are not familiar with Kikes, that's a derogatory of Jews. Jews,
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Gikes who control everything in the world. H Clark wrote,
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: every problem in the modern world can be connected to
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: the Jews. You know, a lot of people, turns out,
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: would agree with that. I mean, it's just a just
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: a manifesto of nihilism, right, nihilism. According to the manifesto,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: all violence is good violence, right, and that the upcoming
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: race war will be another type of war. It will
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: be the most beautiful one yet, cleansing this earth of
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: the disgusting filth walking all over it. I mean, just
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: think of being a teenager and thinking these things, and
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: being this hateful and this disgusted by the world around.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Vesquez at some point asks in the manifesto why am
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: I like this, and he writes, it is because of
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: all these years of ridic rejection.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Being ignored, and being treated like a joke.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: To take your quote from one of my favorite films,
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: what do you get when you cross a mentally ill
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: alone in a society that abandons him and treats him
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: like trash.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what you get. You get what you
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: fucking deserve.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: You all thought it was hilarious to treat me like
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: I was subhuman, to make fun and tease me for
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: every little thing. No matter how hard I try, I
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: could never fix myself. There was always something to make
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: fun of me for.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: And I hate you all for it. I mean, think
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: of the.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Lack of self esteem, the negative self esteem that somebody
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: like this has. They're just self hatred. And I'm sure
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: he was teased. I'm sure he was bullied, and that's horrible.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: But a lot of kids are teased, a lot of
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: kids are bullied. The response is not to become nihilistic, murderous,
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: crazy people. I mean, what these people are is they
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: hate their own life, they hate themselves, and then they
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: look to lash out and in the world that we
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: live in today, they go online and they cruise all
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: the hate groups online and this is just an amalgamation
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: of hate left and right. It doesn't really matter. It's
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: all nihilism. And what they do is they attach themselves
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: to the hate and their fear and the disgust and
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: the nihilism.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Of all of that. And the reality is, the reality over.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: The last two hundred years has been that in the West,
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: if you're filled with nihilism and hatred, then it's often
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: the case that the blame for the state.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Of the world that has caused you to be so
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: hateful towards it.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: Other Jews, the Jews, the other the Jews, a successful
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: minority group that can easily be blamed for all the
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: problems that we have, and and you know it's easy
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: not to take there for any.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Kind of personal responsibility for it.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Clarke wrote, I want to burn this earth down and
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: rebuild it into new and better society.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: But what does a better society look like? Blank? Nothing, No, No,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: they're there. And this is generally if you ask like
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: gen Z groupers what they want.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: At the end of the day, they don't want anything.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: They just want to tear it all down. This is
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: the definition of nihilism. Now, well, you know, we've always
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: had kids like this, and maybe twenty years ago the
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: kids like this were the school shooters, and they just
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: expressed a nihilism in lashing out at the institution that
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: they hated the most. That institution was the school there
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: was boring and conformists. It's where they were bullied and
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: where they were they were humiliated.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: It's the institution that try to conform them. It's the
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: institution that didn't do what it's supposed to do, didn't teach.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Them how to become human beings, how to use their mind,
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: how to become human, how to become men.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: These are institutions that betrayed them. So school shooting was
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: how they lashed out. Now they go online and they
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: get radicalized by.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Certain themes, whether those themes are on the left, you know,
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: the trans movement and the hatred of the Charlie Cooks
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: and all of that, and you know, again a nihilism
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: that is expressed through an attack on the other, you know,
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: the the other tribe. Or they go on and they
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: embrace kind of the nihilism of the racist.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Left, right, left and right.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: I mean they're all basically Nazis, right or neo Nazis,
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: a type of Nazi, all the sort of Nazis. Well,
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: were the Nazis, if not the ultimate Nihilists who used
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: you hatred to express the hatred of the world, a
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: hatred of life, a hatred of reality. And we live
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: in a world in which the schools still are betraying
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: our kids. They are still between particularly boys, but I
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: think our kids more generally.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: They're not teaching them to be men. They're not teaching
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: them to.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Take personal responsibility for their lives. They're not teaching them
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: how to think, how to use their mind. They're endorsing
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: the worst in them. They're teaching them to embrace their emotions,
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: and then you combine that with a sewer, which is
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: much of the online world in which they expose to
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: ideas that fit into their nihilistic, hatred, hateful kind of
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: state of mind and views anyway, and what you get
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: is now they're lashing out. Now, why did they go
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: to a mosque and not a synagogue? Why they lash
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: out of Muslims and not a Jews and not a women.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: You don't have no idea what motivated them ultimately to
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: go and shoot up a mosque? Again, the hatred seemed
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: to be primarily focused on Jews and on women. Muslims
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: were just one more group to hate on, not the
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: essential one. So you know, this is very much a symptom.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Of the world.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: We live in, a world which has embraced nihilism, a
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: world in which really both sides of the political map
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: have embraced nihilism at the edges of it, at the
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: collectivist the issues. That's why it's impossible to differentiate them.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: They all sound about the same. The primary focus is
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: on hatred of this world, un hatred of other people
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: and people who.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Are oriented that way right now.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: And I think this as historical precedent obviously, if they
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: hate Western civilization, if they hate the world around them,
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: if they hate people who are different, the other.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Than the Jews of the primary target. And remember the
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: hatred of the other has become political mainstream. I mean,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: I think Ice illustrates it in the way it does
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: it raids on immigrants. I think Trump illustrates it in
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: his the way he talks about immigration or used to
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: talk about immigrants.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: You know, Miller, definitely, Miller in the Trump administration definitely
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: talks about the other in ways. And then you look
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: at the Left and you see how they talk about
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: Israel and how they talk about Jews, and how to
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: talk about Zionists, and it's again, the other is the animal.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: The others the source of all our problems.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: The other is to.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: Blame and must be eradicated. And then everybody agrees that
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: the most convenient other to ultimately go after.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Is the Jew.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: So, you know, the San Diego is tragic, it's it's
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: you know, it's it's sad to see young people be
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: in this state of mind. Although I think I think
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: there are always some young people in this state of mind.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: Some of them get stopped before they commit an atrocity.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: Some of them did the school shootings, some of them
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: do other horrible things. So there's a there's a spectrum.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: But sadly, our school system and our culture continues to
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: produce people like this. Now they express their frustration in
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: more call it political, racial, other terms, whereas before he
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: was just hate.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Of of of a school of life.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: You know these but it's it's sad and there's really
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: you're not seeing this really reported on much.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: There's not a lot of discussion of it.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: There's not a lot of highlighting of kind of the
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: state of the culture, the state of our world where
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: somebody like Nick Fointus has millions of followers, or somebody
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: like Hassan Pika has millions of followers, and that Hassan
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: Pike and Nick foytis kind of in a particular sphere dominate,
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: dominate young people, and just the shape evil of both
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: of them.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Is astounding.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: And then if that is the model, if that is
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: what is dominating the debate, is that is what people
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: who gravitated towards, then you know that there's a subsequent
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: of those people who are going to be crazy flip
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: out and go on.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: A murdering streak. This has to be fought.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: It has to be fought first and foremost by calling
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: out evil on both sides, to the extent that they're
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: on different sides, calling out evil.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: And talking about it and explaining it.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: It's got to be fought by discussing anti Semitism, its origins,
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: it's sources, and why it is the canary in the
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: coal mine in Western civilization.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Why this isn't just about Jews, it's about everybody. And ultimately,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: ultimately we need a continual conversation.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Which I don't think we've had seriously enough, about the
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: state of educational institutions and the state of our children,
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: the state of young men and young women, young women
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: who had attracted to crazy left wing causes. You might
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: have seen some video going around of young women praising
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: Magiano for for killing the CEO of United Health and
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: the young man who attracted to the Nick.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Fuenttises of the world.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: So something is sick at our universities. But before they
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: even get to our universities, because these kids were not
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: going to university, these kids indeed did it before.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Long before that.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: There's something very, very very sick in our k Through
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: twelve educational system. Finally, just a note, kind of a
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: massive irony that these two call them neo Nazis, These
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: proto Nazis.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Went out there and and.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: Try to try to kill as many people as they
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: could in the in the Islamic Center of San Diego,
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: and standing preventing.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Them from doing so.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: And blocking their path was a man they killed, I mean, Abdullah,
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: a security guard who has been praised for his heroism
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: that ultimately led to, you know, saving a lot of
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: school kids who I guess were at the Islamic Center
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: at the time.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: But this Abdullah last year posted on his profile on x.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: On ex praise the post in which a fellow Muslim
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: posted an image of Hitler and included the caption do
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: you now understand why I did what I did? In
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: other words, Abdullah a fifty one year old Muslim convert.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: It was sympathetic to Hitler as well, and.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: Indeed posted about Jews health fire is waiting for them.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: It seems that Abdallah had a lot in common with
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: the guys who killed him. They're both obsessed with Jews
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: and obsessed with Hitler and obsessed with their evil. Why he,
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: you know, I mean, would convert to Islam in the
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: first place, and why he would take up these kind
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: of ideas. Again, we've got some real questions to be
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: asking about the state of the culture. And maybe this
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: is an aberration, Maybe this is out of nowhere. Maybe
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: this is unusual and just a freak thing. How to tell, right,
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: given given what we know about some of the most
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: popular commentators on a cult there, some of the most
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: popular people online, maybe sound an aberration. Maybe the state
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: of the world is much more like this, and maybe
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: the fight we have is pretty dramatic. All right, Let's
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: shift gears to talk about billionaires. And we've talked about
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: the left attack of billionaires, AOC attacking billionaires.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: And I found these.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: Videos of a woman my name of Fan Labowitz, both
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: from twenty twelve and from yesterday or the day before yesterday,
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: speaking about billionaires that I thought were pretty entertaining.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: I think i'll show them to you. I'll just tell
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: you Fan labor which is an American author and professional contrarian.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: This is some claude. A professional contrarian, a professional secondhander,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: a professional non conformist.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: She made a profession of being non con whatever. She
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: seems very conformist to me. In the mold of just
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: an angry leftist. She's known for two essa collections that
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: she wrote in the late seventies and early eighties, one
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: called Metropolitan Life and one called Social Studies, and she's
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: known for basically not having published anything since.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: She's a New York fixture, famous.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: For her deadpan wit, her refusal to use the Internet,
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: and her opinions on everything from art to manners to
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: why most people shouldn't be allowed to speak in public.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Two billionaires, as we'll see.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: Martinis Corsese did a twenty twenty one Netflix docu series
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: on her colleague called Pretend It's a City, which is
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: her working out, walking around Manhattan and complaining about it.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: She's a cultural provocateur in the old New York intellectual tradition.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: I don't even know what that means, but anyway, here
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: she is. So let's take a look at a couple
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: of This is from This is from twenty twelve. Who
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: speaking in twenty twelve? You know, oops, I didn't want
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: to do that.
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: This is so.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: No quiet volume is on?
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: This is on?
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: All right? Let me know if you can hear this
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: or if there is an issue should be able to
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: hear this?
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: Here's what's disappeared, along with the village that we all
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: miss words.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Money grubbing.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: We never heard that anymore.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Why t everybody laughs? Okay, dirty money, we never heard.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: There's all such things. Let you know something, They're no
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: such thing as clean money. There's no such thing as
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: clean money. No one earns a billion dollars. You steal
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: a billion dollars.
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: We are not going to win against these people. We
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: are not going to win against these people. They already won.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: They already won. You know, they already won.
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: This is that I'm just here because it's better to
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: be angry with a lot of people that agree with
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: you than angry at home.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: That's why I do this show.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: So, yeah, typical, typical old line leftist view. There's no
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: such thing as clean money. All money is evil. Remember
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: you remember Francisco's money speech in Atlas Shrugged. If you've
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: never read Francisco's money speech in Atlas Shrugged, you really should.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: I think it starts something like, so, you think the
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: root of all evil is money? Is the root of
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: all evil?
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Well, she does. Billionaires don't make money, they steal it.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: By the way, I have to admit that my mother
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: told me this when I was a kid, and she
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: had a.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: Cousin that she liked, but a cousin who was a
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: millionaire in those days, a millionaire was like a billionaire today.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: And she said, there's no honest millionaires. All millionaires became
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: millionaires by line cheating, stealing. There's no other way to
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: become a millionaire. And you're gonna hear a lot of
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: this because this is now repeated and repeated and repeatd.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: It's on loop all of.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: These letters, she said in twenty twelve, So give a credit, right,
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: But this is like on loop AOC and Bernie Sanders
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: and we'll hear Mark Ruffalo in a minute. They just
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: keep saying this stuff about billionaires of people who stole
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: their money. You can't make a billion dollars. There's no
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: way to make a billion dollars. There's no legit way.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: There's no such thing as clean money. Money is the
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: root of all evil. She's a Christian in essense. I
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: know the Christians are going to come back at me. No, no, no,
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: it's not love of money.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: It's love.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: It's not money. There's the root of all evil. It's
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: love of money is the root of all evil. What
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: does love of money mean? Love money means love of production,
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: love of trade, love a bilild in creating, making, love
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: of life. Money just represents what you've created, what you've built,
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: what you've made, and what you've been able to.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Trade for it. Money is just a reflection of your
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: production and creativity rationality. So yeah, the love of money,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: love of money is good. All right. That was in
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: twenty twelve. Let's skip ahead to her in twenty twenty six.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Why am I not hearing anything? Oh? Is it muted?
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Don't be muted? All right? There we go.
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: Yes, I mean, and you know there are always every
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: time someone suggests this, they say, I'm moving. Go. You know,
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: they add nothing to neuro You know, in the olden days,
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: in the nineteenth century, those Robert Barrens, they employed people
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: at least, okay, they employed thousands, hundreds of thousands of people.
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: That all this money magic employs no one. It isn't
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: no product, it has no Goodbye, Go, we're moving to Florida.
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: Go.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: You know, we don't need you.
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: You know, I mean, I know that guy, I mean
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: I don't know him, but I think you're talking about
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: a guy named Ken Griffin. Right, He's one hundred and
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: three million dollar apartment. First of all, what does it
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: even mean? How can an apartment be one hundred and
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: three million dollars?
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: And when you have apartment.
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: Farms that costs that much, it makes every apartment more expensive.
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: So the hundred three million dollar apartment on fifty seventh
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: Street makes the studio apartment in the Bronx more expensive than.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: It should be.
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: So no, I think it's a very good idea.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: So here she's talking about the the the taxes on
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: billionaires and if they move, let them move, let them go.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Who cares. They don't add anything, she says, at least
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: they robber barons. She has something positive to say, Well,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: robber barons they are going to.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: They employed people. But these financiers they do nothing. They
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: pepper shufflers.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: So she's out all the cliches from the old attacks
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: on money lenders, on bankers, on financiers. They do nothing.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: They produce nothing, they create nothing, They add nothing to
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: the economy. I mean, it's so.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: What nineteenth century, I was going to say, sixteenth century,
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: fifteenth century, twelfth century. It's so ancient these arguments, and
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: they're so flawed and wrong. Somebody should send her my
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: book and the Mall Case for Finance, where I describe
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: exactly the economic productive function of a financier and how
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: they are essential. Then she says something equally economically stupid.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: It is bizarre to me that these people are being
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: interviewed about stuff they know nothing, zero, zilch, nada about.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: This is the culture. We live in a culture where
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: people have opinions. They don't know anything. They have opinions,
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: and they are onions. Whoa this, I mean, fan whatever
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: lebo it said something this, I mean we have to
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: take it seriously. No, we don't, No, we don't, she said,
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: kind of gives at condo is one hundred and three million,
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: By the way, it's two hundred and sixty million.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not one hundred and.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: Three And that the fact that that one hundred and
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: three makes other apartments more expensive?
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: How does that work? Exactly? What's the economics of that?
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: Why does me buying a very expensive apartment raise the
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: cost for your cheap apartment's it's it's complete economic ignorance.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: Really pretty stupid. And this is recycled by the left
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: and sadly a lot of people on the right as well.
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: Over and over and over again, as hatred for financiers,
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: hatred of Wall Street, hatefred hedge funds, hatred of But
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: you try to run them out of an economy or
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: any kind of economy without financiers. Well, I mean, it's
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: not ignorance. You're right in the sense that it's not
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: just ignorance. It's massive evasion. It's not like she's consciously lying.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: She's evading, and it's driven by hate, and it's motivated
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: by emotion.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: She doesn't know anything, That's what I mean by huits.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: She knows nothing about economics, about home prices, about what
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: billionaires do, or what financiers do.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: She knows nothing. But you try to run an.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: Economy without the allocation of capital via financiers. Oh wait
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: a minute, We tried that in places like the Soviet
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: Union in Maos, China. We tried managing things without finance.
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: How did that work out? How did the tens of
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: millions of people who died of starvation? How did that
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: work out?
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: These people need to be confronted by the sha evil
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: of their ideas, the evil when those ideas are put
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: into practice. And here's another one, right, this is Mark
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Ruffalo I guess he's an actor. Is that right? There's
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: Mark Ruffalo an actor. Somebody will tell me if I'm wrong.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: But here's this idiot and and and listen to him, right,
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: I mean completely detached from the real world.
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: What do we do to make life better for everybody?
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: We certainly have enough. I mean we just created the
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: most number of billionaires.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: We have enough? And what do we do to make
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: life better for everybody? And this nice piano music in
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: the in the background.
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: The history of the world. You know that we have enough?
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: We have enough? What does enough mean? Who decides when
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: enough is enough?
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: Who?
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: Who? Who gets Mark Ruffalo?
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: Or maybe he has a five member committee that makes
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: decisions about when enough is enough? But he's so sympathetic.
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: He's got that dough you know, the Bambi do eyes,
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: kind of with a little wetness in him, as if
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: he really is emotionally bought into this. He really really
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: cares about this, He really does.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: Is this the Hulk? Is that who he is? I
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: don't know who that is, But it's going to take some.
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: Reimagine what America is, what our economic system is.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: What's clear is can you predict what reimagining means.
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: I think what reimagining means that we should be socialist communist,
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: that we should a massive redistribution of wealth, or we
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: should penalize billionaires. How dare they make money? And by
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: the way, we created billionaires. They didn't create themselves.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: We created them. Yep.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: Mirk Ruffalo's money is to get from he's pretty rich,
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: I assume, given that he's a networth of thirty five million. Yeah,
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: I mean he he could. He could go out there
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: and and and give away all of it. He could,
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: he could, he could model his new system and again
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: no thought about what the alternative system actually produces, what
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: it results in, what kind of human life is a consequence?
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: It's not working, and it's not sustainable. Actually when our
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: founder is it not wokie? And why is it not sustainable?
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: But what standard father set this up? They had the
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: national motto of e pluribus unam out of many one
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: any one, But they don't understand what the hell that means.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: There's a long time we didn't even vaguely even strive
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: for that. But we can still strive the vision of America,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: the promise of America. We still have that.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: God, what's discussing is that they can even talk about America.
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: They talk about the founders, they talk about the vision
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: of Americas if they understand what that even means.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: That is so in our DNA.
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: Someone slipped that in there, which creates a possibility for it. Right,
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: That's like the moment we're in right now.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: It's physics. Things have got to come to.
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: A point where there's so much movement.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: It's chaotic. It's chaotic, it's kaotk boom up. Something new
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: comes out of.
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: Water to steam. There's no other way to actually change,
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: and that's painful. It's like giving birth. I mean, birth
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: is painful. It's dark, we don't know, it's scary. Will
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: it ever end?
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: What do we do? The state of our world? Guys,
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: the state of our world?
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: Anyway, So that was kind of the left attacking billion
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: is And then yesterday we got this extensive interview with
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: Jipizos on a CNBC and in a sense and response
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: to all this garbage about billionaires and what they do
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: and how they do it, and Jeff Bezos has been
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: praised to the hill. I mean, everybody out there on
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: the non left, anybody who's not left, has been praising
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: Jeff Bezos for what he said. And while I give
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: Jeff Bezos a lot of credit for actually doing an
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: interview and talking and saying stuff and trying to defend
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: himself and trying to defend billionaires, if you will, and
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: making a.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: I guess, whoops, what did I do? Sorry?
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: God, anyway, trying to make an argument, trying to make
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: the case. The reality is that he doesn't do a
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: great job doing it. I mean, he does as good
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: of a job as anybody else out there is doing today,
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: you know when you talk about.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: Business leaders, but it's not very good and it's not
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: very convincing.
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: And that's sad because he really had an opportunity here
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: to say something I think profound and interesting. Right, and
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: so let's take some examples, right, he's all short, it's
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: all short, and example this is probably the one that
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: is closest to trying to make a model defense of
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: wealth creation of being a billionaire.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: So here it is. Let me find it. There it is,
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: and listen to what he has to say, and think
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: about what you want. What would you like to hear
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: a billion essay?
• 46:55
  Speaker 6: If I do my job right right, value to society
• 47:02
  Speaker 6: and civilization from my for profit companies will be much
• 47:08
  Speaker 6: much larger, right than the.
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: Than the good that I do with my show will giving.
• 47:15
  Speaker 6: And I think this is an important point to make
• 47:17
  Speaker 6: because people people forget or they sometimes don't see that
• 47:22
  Speaker 6: when you know, when you create something like Amazon and
• 47:25
  Speaker 6: you're saving I get letters from new mothers all the
• 47:28
  Speaker 6: time that say, like, I have no idea what I
• 47:30
  Speaker 6: would be doing right now if I didn't have Amazon,
• 47:32
  Speaker 6: thank you, or what we did in the pandemic when people.
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: Could really see what an essential service we provided to them.
• 47:39
  Speaker 6: And so you know, this is uh with Amazon creates
• 47:43
  Speaker 6: from inspect and by the way, all companies are creating
• 47:46
  Speaker 6: value of some kind.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: That's if Yeah, so you know it's it's it's not bad, right,
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: It's absolutely true that he will create more value in
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: his full profit side than you will and non charitable.
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: Maybe he's been listening to my morality of capitalism talk
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: because I make that point in there, But that is
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: not a moral defense. And what does it mean to
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: say value to society and civilization? It's true if you
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: have a proper understanding of it, but what it actually
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: comes across as is, look, I grant you that the
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: standard is how much I help you, I grant you altruism.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: You're right, and it turns out that I help you
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: by making a billion dollars more than if I gave
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: my money away. That's the standard defense of wealth that
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: they make all the time. In a sense, it's true,
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: but their whole moral framework is altruism. The home Mall
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: framework is I owe you.
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: I have to help society. My job is to create
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: value for society. Instead of saying something like I have
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: used my skill and my talent, hard work and a
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: lot of thinking and planning and organizing and creating and
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: risk taking to create immense values, values that each one
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: of you out there as.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: Individuals benefit from. You all better for it. How do
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: I know that because you use my product?
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: The reason you use my product is because you believe
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: that it makes you a life better. I have created something.
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: I have built something. It's not yours, it's mine. And
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: the only reason you, my consumers, my customers who I love,
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: the only reason and you interact with me, it's because
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: it also makes you all life better.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: And in that sense, Amazon has changed the world.
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: It's not just changed the world for new mothers and COVID,
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: which is again the altruistic inclination to go to the extremes,
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: to go to emergency situations, but it changes your life
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: on a day to day basis. On every single day,
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: I am making your life better. Not because that is
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: my may you know that that's what I have to do,
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: but because that is what producing means, producing real values.
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: So you know, how do we get them to get
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: out of the framework of I made society better.
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: My goal in life is to make society better. And
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: the way it makes society better is business. Nobody buyds that, yeah,
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: you made society better, but look how better off you
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: are as a consequence you've made billions. It would be
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: great if a if one of these billions said I
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: owned it. I owned it, every single dime I owned.
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: I owned because I created something and nobody else did.
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: I created a value for you. This is why you're
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: trading with me. So kudos for him for trying. He
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: needs he needs a better mal philosophy. He needs to
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: be less conventional, less conventional, which means less altruistic.
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: I uh.
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: So, Hugh, he's trying to explain how you can become
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: a billionaire. You know, it's pushing back against the ideas
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: you can't become a billionaire. You can't own a billion dollars.
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: So here's Jeff Bezos trying to do that.
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: I cracked on its face. Let let's give you. Let
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: me give you a simple example. Let's say you start
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: a burger joint and you have ten employees and you
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: make a little bit of money.
• 52:30
  Speaker 6: Right, So you have this is this one one outlet
• 52:33
  Speaker 6: and by the way, these are the most delicious burgers
• 52:35
  Speaker 6: in the world.
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: People love your burgers, Andrew.
• 52:38
  Speaker 6: And so then you open a second outlet, right, And
• 52:41
  Speaker 6: now you're making a little bit more money, and you
• 52:44
  Speaker 6: have twenty employees, and you open a third outlet. By
• 52:47
  Speaker 6: the time you've opened a thousand outlets, you are a billionaire.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 52:53
  Speaker 6: And by the way, this is a real life story.
• 52:55
  Speaker 6: It happens all the time. It's in and out burger,
• 52:57
  Speaker 6: it's you know, raising canes chicken. At what point did
• 53:01
  Speaker 6: that money all of a sudden become unethical or it didn't.
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: There was one outlet, and then there were two, and
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: then there were three.
• 53:10
  Speaker 6: What you're doing the way you make a billion dollars
• 53:13
  Speaker 6: or one hundred million dollars or ten million dollars or anything,
• 53:16
  Speaker 6: is you create a service that people love. And if
• 53:20
  Speaker 6: millions of people choose your service, you're going to end
• 53:23
  Speaker 6: up with a billion dollars. And you can, you know,
• 53:26
  Speaker 6: just try it with a chicken franchise.
• 53:30
  Speaker 4: Crack.
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: That's pretty good, he explains it. It's pretty good. I mean,
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: I wish they all did this. Imagine if all the
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: billionaires came out and said, oh, you want to see
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: how you make a billion dollars, let me tell you.
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: And as I give him a lot of credit for
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: doing that, My favorite example of becoming a billionaire is.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: Jicky Wallins because everybody can relate to that.
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: And you know, a leftist would answer, Jeff Pieces, Yeah,
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: but you exploited all those workers.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: You didn't make the boga, you didn't make it sizzle,
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: you didn't make it delicious.
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: It's the guy who flipped the burga on the grill,
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: and how much does he make minimum wage while you
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: become a billionaire.
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: But here's the beauty of Jackie Rollins. Nobody flips her burgers.
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: So it's she became a billionaire by writing books and
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: that we all read and enjoy it and our life
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: is better as a consequence. But so many of us
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: read a book, so many of us enjoyed them. So
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: many of us watched the movies, so many of us
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: were engaged with everything. Harry Potter, she became a billionaire.
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: So good job, I think, good job piece us on
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: that one. That was a good answer, the Burga franchise.
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: All right, here's one.
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: About him being taxes, his taxes, and he again, here
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: is when he reverts the conventionality.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: And we'll see in his other discussions about taxes. This
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: is where he's probably the weakest.
• 55:13
  Speaker 7: And Elizabeth Warren has made this point.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: Look, he I think he's made.
• 55:15
  Speaker 7: Any reference to you and others are able to pay
• 55:18
  Speaker 7: a lower tax rate even though you're paying an enormous
• 55:21
  Speaker 7: some in taxes a lower tax rate.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: Well then so maybe I.
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: Have people, uh sometimes say that that you know, I
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: don't pay taxes.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: That's true.
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: I paid billions of dollars in taxes and it's a perfect.
• 55:35
  Speaker 6: Again, if people want me to pay more billions, right,
• 55:38
  Speaker 6: then let's have that debate.
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: But don't pretend you know that this that that's going
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: to solve the problem. You could you could double the
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: taxes I pay, and it's not going to help that
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: teacher in Queen's I prompt, So.
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: Hugh, he's putting it in the sense of in the
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: context of solving a problem.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: What's the problem? You know, what, what are we going
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: to do?
• 56:01
  Speaker 3: You know, he's not even contesting a he does pay
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: a high rate on his taxes, but he's not contesting
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: the very notion of wait a minute, it's my money.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: How much? How much are you going to take from me?
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: Is that a conversation we're having is to what extent
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: are you're going to take my money? But it's mine?
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: Will you recognize it's mine? At least not a very
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: good answer. And then he goes into this teacher in
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: you know, los alvdi Wokas. Let's hear this quickly.
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: Talk about, you know, making the tax system more progressive.
• 56:41
  Speaker 6: How about we start by having the nurse and queens
• 56:44
  Speaker 6: not pay taxes?
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: Why are somebody at all? Why are some Why is.
• 56:49
  Speaker 6: The nurse and queens who makes seventy five thousand dollars
• 56:52
  Speaker 6: a year paying more than a thousand dollars a month
• 56:54
  Speaker 6: in taxes? That's one thousand dollars a month that could
• 56:58
  Speaker 6: help with rent or grocery or anything. And so and
• 57:02
  Speaker 6: by the way, do you know what that all adds
• 57:05
  Speaker 6: up to the bottom half of income earners in this
• 57:09
  Speaker 6: country pay only three percent of the taxes.
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: It's only three percent. We can find three percent, so
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: we don't have It's.
• 57:18
  Speaker 6: A small amount of money for the government, you know that,
• 57:21
  Speaker 6: And really it's and the more I thought about it,
• 57:24
  Speaker 6: to me, it's kind.
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: Of absurd that we're doing this. You know, we shouldn't
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: be asking this nurse and queens to send money to them.
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: So this is this big proposal. We need to stop
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: half the bottom half. He actually followed up with a
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: post on Twitter. The important part is zooing out taxes
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: on the bottom half. Best way to put money in
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: someone's pocket is not to take it out in the
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: first place. Bottom half is only three percent of total
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: tax revenue. But it's very meaningful to that person.
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: Zero it out. But why.
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: Why should the person and queens not have to pay
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: for the services the government provides them?
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: Why should they be a leech on jetpiezos as taxes?
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: So why why is this right? Why is this small?
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: Why is it just? And why fifty percent? Why not
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: make it fifty five percent or sixty when not seventy percent?
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: At some point I guess it goes beyond just three
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: percent of the budgets it goes.
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: We're running massive deficits as it is. I don't think
• 58:28
  Speaker 3: anybody should. They should, you know, have discriminatory taxes. Everybody
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: should pay the same. I have flat tax ten percent
• 58:37
  Speaker 3: on everybody if you're going to tax anybody.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: So no, I don't. I don't buy this.
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: I think it's bad. And again, it's a way to
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: appease people. It's a way to attempdt to to uh,
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: you know, buy votes by love, by sympathy. People love
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: this idea.
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: By the way, Blake souls a good response to this.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: If half the people don't pay any tax, then we
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: have fifty percent of the population with votes and no
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: stake in how the government is run, and they can
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: simply vote themselves ever greater handouts.
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: At the expense of more productive people. This would not
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: end well for America. Good for Blake Shoals alone. Musco,
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: on the other hand, agrees completely with jet pieces. So no,
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: not a good idea, Jeff, not a good idea. Everybody
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: should be paying less taxes, but primarily the top, the
• 59:32
  Speaker 3: billionaire should pay a lot less taxes.
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: All right, let me, I want to skiff forward. Yeah,
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: he says good stuff about coneyism. I think that's good.
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: But then I think this is actually best segment. This
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: is a segment on I think about an AI. I
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: think this is I hope this is the right one.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: So this is any I. I thought he was really
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: good on this. So I want you to listen to
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: this and then and then we'll move on. It's it's
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: a pretty late, but here's the segment on AI.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 6: I think there's so many people who are afraid that
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 6: he is going to take their job.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: I think that there's going to be a labor shortage,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: labor shortage as a result.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: So I agree with it.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 7: Oh, let's go there that I wanted to stay in space,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 7: but let's go to that because we can come back.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: We can be in space too, or whatever you want.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: Not true, but that's it.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 7: No, But that's fascinating because I don't know if you
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 7: saw Eric Schmid gave a commencement address over the weekend.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the students were.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 7: Booing because they when every time you mentioned AI, they
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 7: were booing because I think they're deeply, fearfully worried about
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 7: whether they're going to have a job.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 6: Well, and the reason they're afraid of that is because
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 6: all these smart people keep saying that, yes, so there
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 6: are so many smart people and they aren't smart, and
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 6: they're saying, oh my god, you know, there's gonna be
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 6: no more radiologists because you know, AI can read X
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 6: rays better than a radiologist can. And they're gonna be
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 6: no more software engineers because a I can program better
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 6: than a software engineer can.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: These people are wrong.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 6: So what's really going to happen is that it's going
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 6: to elevate all of these people and they're gonna it's
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 6: like it's it's like you've been digging. Let's say you're
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 6: a software engineer. This is what the analogy and giving
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 6: you is you've been uh, digging out a.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: Basement for your house with a shovel and somebody's about
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: to hand you a bulldozer.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: That's a great analogy, you're so you.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 6: Should be so happy if you're digging the basement to
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 6: your house and somebody says, hey, how about this.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: I have a tool here. That's gonna And what's really
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: going to happen is we're going to have so much
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: productivity in our economy.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 6: That for example, this is this is just one effect
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 6: a lot of people who have two earner and come households.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: One of the people is going to drop out of
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: the workforce. That's why we're gonna have a labor shortage.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 6: Because of the productivity gains, you're gonna be able to
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 6: afford things. We're gonna have I predictable, actually have deflation
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 6: of certain core assumes play out, and don't you hamstring
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 6: it with regulation too early.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: We will just no regulations.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 6: We'll get food will get cheaper, and housing construction will
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 6: get cheaper, and the transition cross through Daria. We could
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 6: even solve the permitting problem I was talking about earlier
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 6: for housing, like it should take when you if you
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 6: are a builder, why does it take you six months,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 6: nine months, two years, five years, depending on what municipality
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 6: live in to get.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: A building permit? It, Hey, I should do that in
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: ten seconds and not.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 6: It should give you a yes or no in ten seconds,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 6: and then you should have your authority to build it.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 6: By the way, if it says no, should give you
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 6: the six reasons why and then you go change those
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 6: things and resubmit.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: But you start building tomorrow instead of two years from now.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 7: But how do you answer, I mean Amazon's laid a
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 7: whole bunch of people off your market because of AI,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 7: and Mark Zuckerberg recently laid off a bunch of people
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 7: off because of AI. Do George Dorsey ascribes the directed
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 7: at AI, Well, you'd have to talk to Jack about that.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but he must have had a lot.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: Of extra people.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: I think that's a great answer. It's very unusual to
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: see somebody give that answer. It's exactly the right answer.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: We get more productive, we get more stuff done, we
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: have more needs, more desires, more things we want. More
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: can be created faster, better. We have a labor shortage.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: Now there'll be transition. And he's actually right. The layoffs
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: were seeing now they're not layoffs because of AI. A
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: lot of business leaders are using AI as an excuse
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: to layoff people who they were going to layoff anyway.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: So good for Bezos for doing the interview. Again, he
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: needs philosophical guidance on how to answer some of these questions.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: He needs to really rethink his whole tax policy issue.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: Betty also is smart. He's also smart and knowledge of
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: and yeah, if it says.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 3: Dreams gonna be bigger and better, absolutely and easier to
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: bring about because you'll have this tool that is incredibly powerful.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 3: All right, all right, final topic of today, let's see
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 3: this is a yes. The Trumpe administration continues to nationalize industry,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 3: I mean god and industry at the cutting edge.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: So we are getting you remember socialism.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 3: Socialism is the economic system which means of production are
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 3: owned by the state. I really think that Trump is
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 3: turning out to be the most socialist president we've ever had.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: So this from today.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: The White House is awarding two billion dollars in grants,
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 3: one billion of it of it directly to IBM, and
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: then to nine quantum computing companies and taking an equity
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 3: stake in all of them.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: So basically, the Trumpet administration, the US.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 3: Government is a shareholder in the quantum computing industry. And
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 3: this is in addition to the real earth industry, and
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 3: addition to US steel and in addition to all these others. Now,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 3: somehow they managed to resist buying Spirit. You know, Trump
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 3: was Trump was seemed like he was going to go
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: and try to get Spirit.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: So they resisted that.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 3: I think primarily because the Transportation Secretary Duffy is basically
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 3: seems like a decent guy.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: Where's Lutnik the COMMA secretary just wants the US governor
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: bye bye bye. He wants to turn us into a
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: socialist utopia.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: It's really amazing that they just continue to do this.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: It makes so little press because Trump does so many things,
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: it's impossible to keep track, and it just yeah, but
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 3: this is the most socialist in a sense of nationalizing
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 3: industry of any government.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: So lice in siftyr. All right, um, let's see.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 3: Right latest on the Iran dio. I'll just read you
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: in the order it pops up on my screen from
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 3: fifteen minutes ago. Yuan deal is now collapsing after Pakistani
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 3: army chief cancel trip to Tehran. That are gc A

• 1:07:48

  Speaker 3: senior Oranian sosteroids.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: There's no oh deal reached though the gaps narrowed two
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: weeks is still unresolved. Evan's nuclear in Richmond program and
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: Evan's control over the streets of Homos only the two
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: biggest issues in the whole thing, not only sticking points.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: It's the entire reason this world started. That's right.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: The Richmond program is why the US and is all struck.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: On February twenty eighth, Homos is how Yvon responded, you
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 3: can't have.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: A deal with I was olving both. That's right. There

  Speaker 3: Super chat questions. We have a few today. Michael came through.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 3: He promised me a few questions, say, not a lot
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 3: in number, but a lot in dollar terms.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Michael. Let's see do we have any stickers?
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 3: I definitely want to thank Tyler again for the one
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifty franc that's like two hundred bucks.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: Franks are really valuable these days. Greg, thank you for
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: the sticker. Let's see who else do we have here?
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: Sticker wise? William, thank you? And yeah, stickers would be
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: great right now, because it's a great way to get
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: us to that target, of which was short about eighty bucks.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: We could get there really really quickly.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 3: With four twenty dollars stickers and twenty and a ten
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 3: lots of combinations on how to get there eighty bucks
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 3: where stickers would be great. We've got plenty of questions.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 3: All right, let's see, I think we're going to start
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 3: with We'll start with Natchevitch algorithm. Then we'll go to
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 3: Michael for his fifty dollars questions, and then we'll take
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 3: author and then we'll do the twenty dollars questions. Right, Oh,
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: Chasbaudosa as a twenty fifty thank you, let's go with
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 3: not you have a jug with him? Do you find
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 3: many young objectivists to be cynical and think to themselves,
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 3: I would be successful and happy in a rational world,
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 3: but today's people are so nihilistic and lack integrity. There's
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 3: no point in trying. You'll only get led down by
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 3: most people around you.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: So I do you know?
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 3: This has been a phenomena I think forever within the
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 3: objectives movement, I think people. I think too many people
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 3: use objectivism as an excuse for their failure.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: It's succeeding in life. And I'm not here talking about
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: succeeding financially, succeeding in a particular profession, but succeeding in life,
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: in living, and they use exactly that argument.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 3: They use argument of it's other people, it's the government,
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 3: it's the regulations.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: I could have had my startup, I could have had
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: this career. I could have done.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 3: And look, I don't want to diminish the fact that
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 3: in some cases this is true. That is particularly let's say,
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 3: if you're an artist in an irrational world, it's very
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 3: difficult to make a living off of art when people
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 3: have no appreciation for it.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: But some people succeed in spite of that. Some people
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: manage to do it in spite of it. So it
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: is possible.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 3: In the same thing about starting a business with all
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 3: the regulations. But look at how much of a startup
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 3: culture there is in America. Look at how many people
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 3: are very successful and having friends. Yeah, it's harder the
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 3: fewer people, but they are good people out there.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: You just have to find them all. Getting married, the
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: whole men going own way in cells don't have any
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: to do with women.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, women can be There are a lot of difficult
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 3: women out there, no question about that. Okay, find the
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 3: ones that are not, that are worth the challenge. Find
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 3: the good ones.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: There are some. Some people seem to find them. So
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: there's too much giving up without really the effort, the fight,
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: the energy, the passion, the motivation. And that's sad because
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: you're giving up on life and that's all you have.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: Don't have anything else, So you know you got to
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: you gotta find the best light that you can live
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: given the circumstances.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 3: And we're still free enough and people are still rational
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 3: enough that that's a pretty damn good life. You're not
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 3: in the dark Ages, You're not any Ran right now.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 3: You're not in North Korea, you're not in the midst
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 3: of the Congo with you know, ebolo all around you.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 3: Most of you live in America or Western Europe or
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 3: Eastern Europe and Europe where life is pretty.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: Pretty good. Make the most of it.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 3: But that requires energy, focus, effort, and never use iron
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 3: Rand as an excuse not to engage, Never use iron
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 3: Rand as an excuse not to pursue the best life
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 3: possible to you. And Rand would never forgive you for
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 3: doing that. And it's a distortion, a perversion of her
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 3: own philosophy, her own ideas. So yeah, I do, unfortunately
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 3: find people like that, too many of them. And it's
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 3: not new, It's always been in the objective's movement. I think,
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 3: all right, let's let's do Michael's questions and then we'll
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 3: do chazbad and then author Michael. Objectivists reject instincts as
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 3: applying to human beings, But what about vibes? When people
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 3: talk about picking up a vibe from somebody that they
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 3: give up bad energy. Isn't that pre rational? Your subconscious
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 3: is putting things together rapidly. Sure, but I don't even
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 3: know what vibes means. But sure, we make very fast
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 3: assessments of human beings, and most of us are really.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 4: Bad at it.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: But what is that?
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 3: It's the same as your emotions. Your emotions are and really,
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 3: in a sense, it is an emotion. It's a super
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 3: fast response to information you are receiving. It's a super
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 3: fast integration. And if you're really, really, really practiced.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: In the thing that you are integrating really really fast,
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: and you've thought about it a lot and you understand
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: the process, then you can get good at quick responses
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: that are emotion based.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 3: That are going to be pretty good. You know, think driving,
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 3: you've automatized a certain process.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: You've automatized the response time, you've automatized the response to stimulis.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: But you can't when you have the time too, you
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: can't trust that it's like an emotion in the sense
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: it is an emotion.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 3: If you actually have to make a decision about somebody,
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 3: you don't just want to go off the vibe you want.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: To also think about, Okay, what is it about them?
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 3: Because you might miss out and a great opportunity on
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 3: somebody really really good that your emotions are misdiagnosing, so vibes,
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 3: sensing the energy of another person, all that is emotional.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: And in that sense not cognition. It's not thought and
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: should be viewed with some suspicion. Again, if you're really
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: really good at it.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 3: If you're a psychiatrist or psychologist or really you know,
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 3: have invested a lot of thought and effort in human
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 3: relationships and you've really done this a lot, then maybe
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 3: you know this is like an an automatized response and
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 3: you're picking up on things that are that are real
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 3: and and you know that. But most of us are
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 3: not very good at it, and we have to really
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 3: consider it and think and about the validity of that vibe,
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 3: of that emotional response. Just like any emotion you you
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 3: respond with fear to something, yeah, you know, ultimately have
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 3: to think about should I really be afraid? Does this
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 3: really make sense? Before I make a decision about whether
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 3: to pursue this path or not, I need I need
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 3: to understand where my fear comes from and whether my
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 3: fear is irrational, is a response to something that's really
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 3: a threat or not. So you have to treat these
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 3: vibes just like you treat any other emotion. Again, unless
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 3: you're an expert in something like somebody can look at
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 3: a painting and know immediately if it's a forgery or
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 3: not of a great master.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: That's somebody who's practiced that.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 3: For thousands of hours and really knows and really understands
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 3: and really figured out the signs of forgery and has
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 3: so internalized that that the response is like this, But
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 3: he still has to work it out because again he
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 3: could make a mistake. All right, Michael again, two part
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 3: question each fifty dollars, So thank you, Michael. While feelings
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 3: are not tools of cognition, they are chief motivation motivators
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 3: of action. If you're in a debate with someone and
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 3: they say something extremely disrespectful, you experience an automatic, viscual
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 3: need to respond as a matter of justice. These intense
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 3: feelings and signals we're receiving from our news a system,
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 3: a not disembodied reason. You can rationally articulate why they
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 3: disrespected you, but the urge for justice is an emotional
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 3: feeling instant, Yeah, it is a feeling.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: It's an emotion, it's not an instinct. But again, you
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: need to be very careful, particularly in a life debate.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: Was it really an insult? How do I come across
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: in my response without being defensive? Do I really care
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: that he insulted me? What is the best way to
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: respond that will resonate the best with the audience, because
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: it's the audience I care about. So the problem with
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: being an emotional.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 3: List is somebody insults you and you get all angry,
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 3: and you get all upset, and you look like a
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 3: lose on stage. You look like a defensive who can't argue.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 3: But if you're cool, and if your prime is your reason,
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 3: and yes, you feel that pang of emotion, Oh, he.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: Just insulted me. Okay, gather your thoughts, figure out the best,
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: most rational, effective for the purpose response possible. Don't let your.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 3: Emotions dictate what you say, even if their emotion is
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 3: right in a sense that yeah, he tried to go
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 3: after me. I mean, the whole idea of you know,
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 3: insult is you know or disrespect. Okay, he disrespected me,
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 3: that's true, But what do I do about it? That
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 3: requires thinking, It requires not letting your emotions take over.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 3: It requires recognizing their emotion and moving on, moving on
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 3: to thinking how to respond.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: What's the best way?
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 3: So don't let your emotions guide your response. Identify it
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 3: as a signal, identify the source, and then figure out
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 3: what the most rational objective thing to do at that.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: Point in time. Is all right? Uh shasbad?
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 3: According to Christians, a person who's granted a new perfect
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 3: body when entering heaven. I asked one what he would
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 3: do when he got there and got no answer. I
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 3: think he knew that exploring the question would open a
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 3: can of worms he couldn't handle.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you can't have sex. I don't think
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: that's I don't think that's allowed in heaven. You can't
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: make money.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 3: I know that's not allowed in heaven. I guess you
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 3: just sit around and you meditate on the glory of God.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 3: It sounds pretty boring. There's a great science fiction book
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 3: by Robert Henline where you know God and the devil.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 3: Heaven is God, and the devil has Hell. But Hell
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 3: is fun, Hell's exciting. Hell's like capitalist heaven. Heaven is
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 3: boring and dull, and nobody does anything, and there's no
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 3: fun at all, and there's no there's no enjoyment, and
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 3: there's no set.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: You know, there's no sex, there's no there's nothing.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 3: So I guess Islam gives you virgins that have sex
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 3: with it because Islam never bought into the original sin
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 3: part of Christianity, So one virtue in Islam. I mean,
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 3: Christianity has some really really really nasty ideas, really bad ideas.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I've never had that conversation about what you
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 3: do in heaven. And I didn't know you got a
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 3: perfect body. I didn't know you got a perfect body.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 3: And what is a perfect body? We now body shaming people.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know who gets aside? I guess you
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 3: find out what kinks God has by what he considers
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 3: a perfect body.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 3: It's so religion is so old and dull and at
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 3: the end of the day really not that interesting. Thomas
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 3: says that Catholic doctrine is you get a perfect body?
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 3: Do you get your body perfected or do you get
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 3: a new body that's perfect?
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 3: Author in your Q and A with oncong he mentioned
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 3: the motivation for nihilism is self hatred. How did you
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 3: rea that conclusion? Someone hates themselves so intensely. They want
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 3: to destroy the world, destroy people who are not as
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 3: miserable as they are. Yes, I think that's right.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: I think if you look at if you look at
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: Iman's analysis of two, he that it all comes from
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: because look, objectively, the world is not a thing to
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: be hated.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 3: So a person owrient it towards life and towards a
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 3: positive view of himself and his place in this world
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 3: is unlikely to want to destroy everything. He wants to
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 3: enjoy the fruits of what's possible in this world.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 3: A person who is a real nihilist, who wants destruction,
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 3: who hates as the primary motivation it hates reality, hates
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 3: the world out there. I think that ultimately means which
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 3: comes from is a basic fundamental hatred of himself and
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 3: of the world around him, and a conviction that nothing good,
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 3: that he can do nothing good in the world out there.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: So I absolutely think on calls right about that. And
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: it look, it's if you think about evasion, if you
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: think about the choice not to think, which is at
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: the root of all evil, if you actually have somebody,
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: says Jordan Peterson, knows all these answers. No, he doesn't.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: He gets them wrong. Though, if you actually think about
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: the choice not to think, the choice not the thinks
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: makes you impotent in dealing with reality, It makes you incompetent.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: It makes you just in a sense of.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 3: Bubbling idiot, just roaming the world guided only by emotions.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: And that's failing.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 3: And it's very easy to see how you develop a
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 3: hatred for yourself under that circumstance, because you have chosen
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 3: to not engage your means of survival. You've chosen to
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 3: not engage the thing that makes you human, and you
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 3: can only fail. And yet other people around you have
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 3: succeeded because they chose to use their minds. And that
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 3: is at the root of it. The root of self
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 3: hatred is that choice. And at the root of nihilism
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 3: is that choice. It's a choice not to think, not
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 3: to be focused, not to engage, not to be rational,
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 3: and therefore to be at the beck and call at
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 3: the whim of your emotions, and that that will lead
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 3: you down a very dark place, a failure after failure
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 3: after failure. Right, Liam, is there a correlation between genius
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 3: and insanity? If you read about Kant, he was a
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 3: bit insane. He was afraid of moonlight and boarded up
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 3: his house overnight. Or is insanity neuroticism logy caused by
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 3: unsound epistemology.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: Well, I certainly don't think there's a correlation between genius
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: and insanity.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 3: I think that suddenly certain types of insanity or yourestionality
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 3: could be brought about because of a bad epistemology. And
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 3: I think some kinds of insanity are caused by you know,
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 3: Scoe genes and Skreek chemicals in your brain. You can't
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 3: have an external or biological cause for the insanity that
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 3: is your brain. Your brain needs a certain chemical environment
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 3: in which the function and if the chemicals are misfiring,
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 3: are not. Just like you could have disease in other
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 3: part of your body, much insanity is the disease of
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 3: a brain. But yes, bad epistemology I think can also
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 3: bring about neuroticism and ultimately certain types I think of insanity. Jennifer,
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 3: can you compare this modern groper type to the hippies
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 3: of the nineteen sixties. Hippies were anti establishment types and
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 3: on drugs and all, but they did at least talk
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 3: about peace and love not hate.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: I think, yeah, but it wasn't real.
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 3: I mean they hated the man, and they hated Western civilization,
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 3: and they hated So there's a sense in which this
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 3: is the evolution of the hippie. This is the hippie
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 3: coming to realize that the world is not going his way,
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 3: that his emotions, his whims, are not creating reality and
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 3: bringing about the kind of reality that he wants, and
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 3: therefore getting angry and hateful as a consequence, and turning
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 3: hateful towards the people he blames for not allowing his
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 3: emotions to manifest in reality. I mean, the hippie is
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 3: were primacy of consciousness. It means they believe that they
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 3: the consciousness, they could create their own reality, and then
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 3: when it doesn't work, they have to lash out. And
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 3: so you know they are they are primachief conscious and emotionalists,
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 3: and that inevitably will to hate. That will either go
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 3: away and become conventional, or it will turn to hate.
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 3: And in their case, in the actual hippies case, many
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 3: of them became the academics who destroyed American universities.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: And today.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 3: The orientation is to go straight to the hate, straight
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 3: to the disgust, and part of that I think is
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 3: fueled by the online communities but of course you got
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 3: that under the Nazis as well. So it's some point
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 3: the hippies get so frustrated they can't go anywhere, nothing succeeding.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 3: They don't get the reality that they dream of, that
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 3: they believe they deserve, and they turn to trying to
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 3: explain it by blaming the Jews, or blaming postcolonialism, or
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 3: whatever the flavor.
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: Of hate of the day is.
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 3: Nick reminds me that rand rode an essay Apollo and
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 3: Dionysus about the New Left and the Hippies.
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: There was a comparing the Polo launch to Woodstock.
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 3: Woodstock, all right, James says, do you see a future
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 3: of economics, stagnation and cynicism rather than all out collapse
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 3: into the dictatorship? These haters of life won't be happy
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 3: with stopping at economic stagnation. They will keep pushing towards collapse. Yes,
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 3: so there's a certain percentage of population it keeps pushing
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 3: towards collapse, But there's still a small minority most of
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 3: us don't want that.
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: We don't know exactly what Most people don't know what
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: they actually want. We still have a technological revolution on
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: our hands.
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 3: We have AI, which is going to drive productivity, which
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 3: is again going to prevent I think collapse is going
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 3: to drive for growth, but it will create more angst
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 3: and will create more division and will create more space
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 3: for these haters to push. But yeah, I don't see
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 3: collapse because I think most people are better than that.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 3: Most people don't buy into it, and I do think
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 3: there is real chance for you know, kind of economic
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 3: progress because of AI productivity boom that will prevent economic collapse,
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 3: will allow us to keep growing into the future.
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: Thomas says.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 3: John Bolton has been offering a lot of commentary in
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 3: the round situation.
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: Have you seen it? What do you think of it?
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 3: I mean mostly agree with John. I haven't seen all
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 3: of it, so I don't know if I agree with everything,
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 3: but mostly agree with him. He has emphasized the fact
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 3: that what you need is regime change, and I think
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 3: he is being clear about Trump's weaknesses and inability to
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 3: follow through. So yeah, I think for the most part,
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 3: I agree with John Bolton on Iron. He's he's been
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 3: quite good, all right. James says, As a condoct owner,
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 3: what things should you be worried about your HOA doing?
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 3: What could they do to screw you well, they could
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 3: neglect to maintain the building, and as a consequence, the
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 3: amenities that you use in the building, the elevator.
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 1: The stairs, that gym, the pool.
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know what kind of building you have deteriorates,
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 3: which makes your life worse off and which.
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: Reduced the value of your property. On the other hand,
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: they might be.
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 3: Spending money lavishly on upgrading all kinds of stuff that
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 3: you don't care about.
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: You don't think is that important. They might be neglecting
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: to paint the building on a regular basis, or to
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: watch the windows in the building. Or I mean again,
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: each HOA does things a little differently and is responsible
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: for different things. I mean actually does a lot and
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: they god do I pay a lot in HA fees
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: huge amounts, So you know, it depends on your circumstances.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: You think, what does the HOA do them doing a
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: good job versus them doing a bad job, and the
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 1: things that they do would that affect me? They skimp
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: on trash collection and the trash piles up, I don't know.
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, think about what it is they do and
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 3: could it be done better? And if it's done worse,
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 3: will you be affected? Hapa Campbell was Hitler's military strategy
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 3: very Nietzschean. I don't know what that means, constant attack
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 3: because he believed his will was primary and could override facts. Yeah,
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 3: but that's not Nietzsche necessarily it was. It's rhemacy of consciousness.
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 3: It's you know, he believed it, therefore it must be.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: So.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 3: I don't think that's necessarily just Nietzsche. There's a long tradition,
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 3: starting with religion, of privacy of consciousness.
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: If I pray enough, it'll happen. If I will it's enough,
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: it will be. My will is shapes reality. I think
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: that attitude.
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 3: Was definitely I think part of Hitler's Yes, Harper Campbell,
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 3: was Nietzsche's rejection of altruism extremely flawed. His view was,
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 3: instead of the strong sacrificing in themselves to the week,
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 3: they should be subjugating and oppressing that. We guess it's
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 3: what I ran criticize, criticizes. Her whole view is sacrifice
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 3: is wrong. You shouldn't sacrifice to others, and you shouldn't
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 3: ask them to sacrifice to you. Your ethics have to
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 3: be universal. The principles that apply to you have to
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 3: apply to everybody. Otherwise it's not an ethic for human beings.
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 1: So yes, Nietzsche is definitely wrong in advocating for the
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: sacrifice of others to you of the subjugation of the
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: week to the strong not you have age algorithm? Are
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: you asking me a question in physics? Really? How am
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: I supposed to know what the answer is to that? God?
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: Is my mouse behaving this weird way? All right? One second? Once?
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: What's in?
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 3: How can black holes be a portion of the universe
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 3: where gravity is so strong light cannot escape it? How
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 3: can light even be affected by gravity since it isn't
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 3: physical matter? Well, who says it isn't like light is?
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 3: Uh has a physical aspect and has a wave aspect?
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 3: Right now, I don't understand that, but I don't pretend to.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 3: But light is protons, right, and the protons. You know,
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 3: light bends with gravity. We know that they've done They've
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 3: run experiments, and you know that is observable. Einstein predicted it,
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 3: and when they went out and they feel tested it,
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 3: that's exactly what they found. That light does bend with gravity.
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 3: So light is definitely affected by gravity. Now, don't ask
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 3: me these physics questions. I don't have physics answer.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: For them.
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know physics well enough, but I think what
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 3: I just said is true. Molten Splendor is back again.
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 3: Thank you, malten Splendor. Where would you put respect for
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 3: yourself and the values and virtues achieved by your friends
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 3: and partners? How important is respect and above other attributes
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 3: in the higher chy of values? Well, I mean respect
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 3: for yourself. I think it's part of pride.
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: Pride is the virtue of taking yourself seriously and taking
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: your values and virtues seriously, and taking morality seriously and
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: striving for moral perfection. And I think respect is part
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: of that. In terms of respect for other people, that's justice, right,
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: If other people exhibit values and virtues, then justice demands
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: that you recognize that and you respect that, and and
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: that you that you take that into accounts and evaluating
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: them and in dealing with them and in your relationship
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: with them. So it is, it is crucial for justice,
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: and it is crucial for pride, you know. In respect
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: for yourself is I think part of how you gain
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: self esteem is you can't have self este if you
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: don't respect yourself.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 3: So, yeah, crypto Kyle Kolinsky said the billionaire should be illegal. Yeah,
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 3: Kyle is quite a crazy leftist. I'm not surprised he
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 3: said that. That is pretty standard stuff for him.
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: Tommy says, have you spoken about do you believe the
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: reporting that the USA and Israel were considering I'm in
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: a Judd as an interim president. Thought that was a particular,
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: But I thought that was a you wrote particular. I
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 1: assume you're you're you're saying peculiar. Yeah, I mean, I
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: don't know what to think of that. It seems bizarre
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: to me, very weird.
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, a Judd was a monster, a really bad guy,
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 3: irrational and crazy and very anti Israel. Now there are
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 3: rumors he was a Masada agent, but I doubt that's true.
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 3: So I don't know what to make of it, unless
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 3: there was some indications that he changed his mind and
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 3: was willing to compromise.
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: But how legit would rumors like that be. I mean,
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe one day we'll find out, but
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I would not, you know, I don't
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 1: really I don't believe it.
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 3: I guess, but what you know, I don't know everything,
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 3: And there might be some confidential intel that suggests that,
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, Najad had been you know, radicalized in the
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 3: other direction it was was, you know, would have been
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 3: friendly to America, to Israel if he'd gone into play.
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 3: I do know it's true that Israel did bomb his
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 3: residency where he was held in the house arrest, and
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 3: the explanation that is now being given is they bombed
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 3: it to kill, and they achieved this to kill the security,
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 3: detailed to kill the.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: GC who are guarding him.
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 3: But that as part of that, he got injured and
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 3: that's what made it impossible for ultimately for him to
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 3: take Ova. But it doesn't seem right to me. It
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 3: seems much more like he was an enemy of his
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 3: Rael and they went after him. But again I don't know.
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 3: I really don't know who they might have been. Something
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 3: else going on Ali Islam. What rule, if any, does
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 3: humility have in happiness, Well, it really depends on what
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 3: you mean by humility. Humility is kind of a Christian
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 3: virtue of in a sense, I'm no good is destructive
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 3: to happiness because it's destructive to self esteem. Humility is
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 3: the opposite of pride and the opposite of self esteem,
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 3: and therefore it makes it impossible to achieve happiness.
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: Now, if you just mean by humility, the idea that
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know everything and I need to learn, I
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 1: need to study, I can no more knowledge is possible
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: to me. I know a lot, and I could know
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 1: even more.
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 3: And you know, and having an objective assessment of your
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 3: own knowledge and who you are and what you are.
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: Fine.
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 3: But I wouldn't use humility ever as a concept because
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 3: the Christians have turned it into humility as being the
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 3: opposite of pride. Humility is groveling. Humidity is is I
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 3: don't know anything. I'm weak, I am a flawed, sinful animal.
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 3: And that kind of humility is destructive to human happiness
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 3: and false.
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: It's not true.
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 3: So don't be humble, be proud, pursue self esteem, be
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 3: objective about what you know and what you don't know.
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: Don't pretend you know what you don't know. Don't pretend
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: to yourself you know what you don't know. All right, Final.
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 3: Harrison says, Hey, Hi, sorry, I'm very late. Song review
