• 0:02
  Speaker 1: A lot of fundamental mists of rational self interest and
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: an individual wats this is the show? All right? Everybody,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: welcome to your one book show on this those day,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: January fifteenth. Olburg's having a fantastic week, all right, We
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I think, are going to jump in to the news
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: just to remind you there will be a show tomorrow,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: and yeah, let's just jump in. So on January thirteenth,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: two days ago, Donald Trump put out a tweet basically saying,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Iranian patriots keep protesting. Take over your institutions, save the
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: big price. I've canceled all meetings with Iranian officials until
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: the senseless killing a protester stops. Help is on the
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: way make Iran great again, President Donald Trump, and I
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: think a lot of people assume that it was imminent
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: that he wouldn't have said that if help was not,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: you know, on the way. Indeed, last night, just as
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I you know, was late last night over here in
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Puerto Rico, I was looking at my Twitter feed and
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: it looked it looked like maybe something was happening. For hours,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: the airspace above Iran was basically closed. No planes were
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: flying except for two Chinese planes. No planes were flying
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: above Iran. They were all going around and basically all
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: the major airlines, all the airlines had canceled flights. There
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: was always coming out of Israel that ha Many's son,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: who is supposed to replace how Many when he dies.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: How Many son had transferred over a billion dollars out
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: of Iran and into a bank account in I think
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: it was the UAE uh it. You know, Chinese planes
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: were flying in and some people were thinking maybe that's
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: that is the trip out for some of the leaders
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: within Iran. So it clearly looked like last night maybe
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: something was happening. I was skeptical because I don't think
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Trump's going to do anything. But I didn't think he
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: was going to do anything, but it really looked that way,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: and a lot of people online were pretty excited and
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: getting ready for it. But yesterday already Trump was kind
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: of more pasitant, right he He yesterday afternoon was saying
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: things like this killing is stopped. And they told me
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: they're not going to execute anybody and not gonna kill anybody.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: And indeed, yesterday there was supposed to be a public
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: execution of a young man, one of the demonstrators, and
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: it has been postponed for now that that did not happen,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: So it really you know, so it started to seem
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: like maybe he was backtracking, but everybody still thought, no, no, no,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: this is going to go ahead. He promised, he drew
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: red line. Remember when Obama drew red line and then
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: didn't do it. He drew red line, and you know, nothing,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: nothing happened last night. Now nobody used to say it
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: doesn't have it tonight or tomorrow night, but Iranian officials
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: at least saying that President Trump has informed Tehran that
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: he does not intend to attack Iran. And indeed, as
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: I said, Trump informed, Trump told everybody that Iwan had
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: told him that protesters will not be executed and there
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: will not be killing in the street, at least according
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: to Trump. Now, I also told you yesterday, and this
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: has been verified now by multiple sources, that the Kataris
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and the Saudis were lobbying all day yesterday, massive campaign
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: to prevent Trump from launching an attack in Iran. They
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: have no interest even though Iran Ish Sheites and they
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: are Sunnis, they have no interest to see a liberal
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: democracy rise up in Iran that would put pressure on
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: their own regimes, which are not exactly liberal in any
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: kind of sense. They have no interest to seeing Iran flood,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: you know, start selling freely into the global market. The
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Saudis like their position right now where they get to
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: control much of the flow in and out of that
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: global market and thus to some extent, control the price.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: And so you know, the Kataris in the Saudis were
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: putting a huge amount of pressure on him. There's just
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: now a story coming out of the New York Times.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: It's hard to tell, but it is being a broadcast
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: lost by some Israeli media. The Nitennelle yesterday asked Trump
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: to postpone the attack on Iran due to concerns that
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Israel wasn't ready for the Iranian retaliation. Now, if that
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: is true, if that is true, and if as a
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: consequence of this, Trump never attacks Iran, then anything good
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Nitanieo has done over the last two years, I don't know,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: it's wiped out. I mean that is that will go
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: down as one of the great betrayals of Israel, of
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the US, of Western interests. Just an act of a
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: small act of suicide. It just nuts in Israel should
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: always be ready for its Iranian retaliation should be ready
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: every day and it's and news stories out of Israel
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: have said that Israel has been a higher load for
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: a week now because the Iranians might do something preemptive
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: and attack Israel. So I don't know if to believe
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: that or not. I really hope it's not true. I'm
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: really hoping it's not true. One other strand of news
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: is saying that basically that basically, uh, you know, so
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: let me just see this. Yeah, Natinio supposedly is concerned
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: in an attack could lead to a wide origional conflict.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Why does he care? Why he's a seemingly shared by
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Golf senior states, I mean that sounds so bizarre, but
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, on the other hand, who knows,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: who knows? Also true, also true, also supposedly true or
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: being argued, is that the American military, the Pentagon, was
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: against the strike. And this I believe that the experts
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: at the Pentagon, who are usually wrong, were not very
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: good at these things, were worried that they couldn't actually
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: bring about regime change, and that this would involve, you know,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: regional conflict, and Iran might launch against Saudi Arabia and
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: they might block their streets of homemores, and they might
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: do this, and they might do that, and maybe they're
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: stronger than they and then everybody thinks and air defense
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: systems and I mean, the experts are always so frigging hesitant.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: And Kobe, who is the number two at the Pentagon,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: is very much anti ass strike in Iran and has
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: always been anti Strukubyan. So forces within the military, within
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the Pentagon at least that the partner in Defense talking
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: telling Trump wanted a decisive hit, massive hit that would
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: result in regime change in the military said we don't know.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Instead of coming over with the plan, they said, we
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: don't know. And of course Vance VANCE is very much
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: against an Uron strike. So you've got VANCE as well
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: on top of everything else. Right, so you've got the Katari's.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Katawi's just got supposedly half a billion dollars or half
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: a billion dollars of money from oil sales from Venezuela
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: has been has been deposited in a Katawi bank. How
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: all this works is just bizarre, but but that is,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: you know, that is the case today. The Katari government, right,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: the Katari government has said today that the US cannot
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: use its own air base, an American air base on
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Katari soil for military attack against Iran? What is the
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: point of having an air force base in Qatar if
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the United States doesn't get exclusive right to decide how
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: and when to use it. Like Katara has the US
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: by the balls and it's telling it how it can
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: and cannot use its own military forces in the Middle East.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: We have to be subservient to the Kataris. I get
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the Techa cousin. It has to be. But the United
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: States or America needs to be now subservient to the Qataris.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Why have that base to begin with if kata could
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: be to it. Yesterday the Saudis said that the United
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: States could not use their airspace. Allies. It's always good
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: to have allies, good friendly countries that will support you
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: in a time when you need their support. Disgusting and
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: now we'll see, right, so far it seems like Trump
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: is listening to them. We'll see maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow night,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: maybe over the weekend. Trump will surprised at all us,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: all particularly mean and actually attack you on But so
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: far nada nothing. Now let me just see. We want
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: to get to that. Yeah, what the United States has
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: done today so far? Is there sanctioning senior Islamic Republican officials,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: the sanctioning like the Secretary of the Supreme Council for
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: National Security. There also sanctioning you on shadow banking network,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Like when has that ever helped? When a sanction has
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: ever helped? When a sanctions has ever done anything? But
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: that's what you know, help is on its way. Trump
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: told us. Now there is a theory. There is a theory.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: And by the way, one of the things about last night,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: American embassies yesterday in the Middle East were telling the
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: people not to travel. The Katari base that we talked
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: about was evacuated from non essential employees, so were bases
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: in Saudi Arabia. In other words, every indication was the
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: US was going to strike and was preparing for counterstrike.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Iran's space has since opened up and feed up, and
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: you know, supposedly everything's going back to normal. Anyway. There
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: is one theory I've seen circulating online, maybe by Uranian bots,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but this is the Trump is playing
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: for d chess. Uh. You know, you don't get much
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: of the Trump playing for D chess anymore. I think
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: people have figured out he couldn't play two D chess
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: if his life dependent on it. He certainly he's not
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: doing four. But there is this theory, you know now
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: that he's playing full D chess on Iran. And what
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: happened last night was this last night, he purposefully wanted
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: the Iranians to think he would attack. And then what
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: happened was Iran went into emergency mode and they did
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: all the things that they would do before an American attack,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: and they implemented all the emergency procedures, and they deployed
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: all their defense systems and they did all that, and
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: America was watching and they figured it all out. And
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: now they're going to attack, and they're going to know
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: exactly what the Ranians are going to do, because the
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: idea of here is that last time the US attacked,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Last time the US attacked, they did certain things, but
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: they were going to they were going to change them
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: to surprise us. And now we got this surprise and
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: we know it right according to this post, while the
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: regime thought the real moment had arrived, the Americans and
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: their partners closely observed how the regime would react and
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: what its new emergency protocols are, and this time it
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: will be different from previous operations, and now the Americans
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: are ready. I hope that's right. I hope it's a
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: full d chess move. I hope that that's sophisticated and smart.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Sounds like something these Raelis will do, But you know,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Israel didn't play any games like that. I managed to
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: manage to destroy the Iranian you know, a defense system
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: and rule the skies over Tehran without playing that forty chess.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: So you know, I'm a little skeptical of the United
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: States needs to play that kind of game to get anyway,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: to get anywhere. A lot of people, a lot of
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: people today have concluded that Trump is just basically betrayed
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: the Ranian people. He told him to God in the street.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: He told him to keep fighting. He told him to
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: keep put their lives at risk because help was on
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: the way and they will get their retribution against their leaders.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Keep the names. And then because the qataris in the
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Saudis and because of some hazardocy at the Pentagon, he
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: changed his mind, which Trump does all the time, and
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: as a consequence, has completely betrayed, completely betrayed the Iranian people.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Even somebody like Stephen Krauder a rah Rah for the
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: president generally has this to say, when you tell people
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: to rise up and expect your help, you own the
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: consequence if they're slaughtered. Iran doesn't need cringe photo ops.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: They need organization, intel and real support, not this embarrassing garbage.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: I agree with I agree with Stephen Crowder for a change.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: You know, uh, others you know have written about the
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: fact that you know, right now we have a world
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: changing alliance being formed, the Saudi Katari alliance, and they're
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: interested in actually preserving the shi At, a total regime
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: in Iran. And you know the dispute between the Shias
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: and the Sunnis, Insidi Slam. You know which one of
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: them will rule the world once they established the calipood.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: But first they have to establish a caliphod And in
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: the meantime, maybe they don't don't disagree that much. Maybe
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: the Iranians in the Saudis don't disagree that much. At
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, are they not all committed
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: basically to world domination and Sharia? Are they not ultimately
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: committed to destroying the West? I mean, certainly the Kataris,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: the Saudis might be hiding it. The Qataris don't. So
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: now it seems like there Saudis and Kataris are preventing
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: the US from toppling the Mula regime in Iran. They
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: prefer a week in Iran over a secular Iran that
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: joins the West. That would be a disaster for them.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: They know it. I know it. I've been telling you
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: it would be a disaster forree Islamism. So far, it
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: looks like Trump is sauding with the Kataris. David from
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: writes Trump is abandoned Ukraine, broken his promise to the Iranians,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: while installing a new dictator in Venezuela, preparing for war
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: on Denmark, and waging a violent poweramilitary campaign against people
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: in Minnesota. I think that captures the Trump administration right now. Anyway,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: we will see, We will see what happens now, you know.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Another story is saying that the planned US strike on
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Iran reportedly was halted the last minute, minutes before execution
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: after Trump intervened directly. Iranian airspace had been has since reopened.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Assas scrambled from the Katari air base. The order to
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: return remain on standby. The mission has halted at the
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: final stage just about to engage, Trump had told US
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: old advisors he will only author military action that delivers
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: a clear, decisive outcome. Officials reportedly warned that the strike
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: could not guarantee regime collapse and that the US made
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: lacks efficient regional assets to counter a large scale Uranian retaliation.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: They chickened out. Bottom line is they chickened out. And
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: in terms of David Fumm's assertion in his tweet that
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump has installed a new dictator in Venezuela, there
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: is this from Donald Trump this morning. This morning, I
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: had a very good call with the Interim President of
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Venezuela de Lassi Rodriguez. We are making tremendous progress as
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: we help Venezuela's with Venezuela stabilize and recover. Many topics
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: were discussed, including oil, minerals, trade, and of course national security.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: This partnership between the United States of America and Venezuela
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: will be spectacular. It was protective for all. Venezuela will
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: soon be great and prosperous again, perhaps more so than
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: ever before. No word on free, freedom, free, no word
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: on you know, on actually elections bringing in the opposition,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: on liberating the people again. The people were excited by
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Madu is gone, and they're still excited. They still believe
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: that they're going to be freer in the future. I
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: hope they're right. But Trump might be also stabbing in
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: the back of Venezuelan people, because he certainly seems to
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: have stabbed in the back of the Iranian people. The
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: twelve to twenty thousand Iranians who were killed slaughtered in
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: the street, some of them at least under the assumption
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: that the Americans were coming to help, that this was
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: actually going to lead to regime change because they had
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: external help. And by the way, N'ataille had given a
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: speech about a week ago saying the Ranian people could
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: count on Israel support and Israel will do what it
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: can to help them change the regime. And where's Israel
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: being silent? Mom, nothing nobody. I hate to say it,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: but I've never liked N'ataielle ever. For twenty more than
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: twenty years, I've been arguing that he's no good, and
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: he doesn't stop confirming my suspicions. Not Maybe maybe something
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: good will happen, Maybe Israel will attack tonight. I don't know.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe this indeed is all just a
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: con and the United States will attack tonight. It is
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: possible there was something similar happened before they attacked the
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: nuclear facilities, which seemed like Trump was backing off, and
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: then they did it. Anyway, so maybe we get that.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: We'll find out in the next few nights. People upset.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Hopefully they're upset for not Hopefully I will be proven wrong.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: I'm happy to be proven wrong on this one, all right,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Wall I don't want to be proven wrong. Is in
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: the fact that we need to age two hundred and
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: fifty dollars for every hour of the show, you know,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: in terms of supporting the show, making the show viable, profitable, viable,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: And we're way I mean, you guys have started very
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: slow today, very very slow. I appreciate. I appreciate a
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: few questions and a few stickers. Alex, thank you for
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: the sticker, and Gail and Bonnie, but it's all, yeah,
• 21:49

• 23:01
  Speaker 1: you're on book show. Become a monthly supporter. A wait,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: we've talked a lot about ice in Minnesota. We've talked
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: about the ramping up of ice. More and more videos
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: are coming out of Minnesota. On on ice agents sleeping
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: and sliding in on the ice. Ice agents sliding on
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: the ice quite funny, but on the snow harassing people
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: in their own neighborhoods just just awful, awful situation up
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: in Minnesota. You know, a lot of people, a lot
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: of crowds coming around where ICE is operating. It's you know,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: somebody was shot. I suppose an immigrant from Venezuela was
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: shot in the leg earlier today or yesterday. There's just
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: a lot happening up there, and it's not good and
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: not pleasant. But the people in Minnesota. People in Minneapolis
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: are certainly putting up a good, uh, you know front
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: that they're protesting, they're objecting, they're filming, they're they're making
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: fun of ice. There's a lot of funny videos of
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: ice agents against slipping on the ice and stuff like that.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: And Trump is very unhappy, very unhappy with the fact
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: that his his UH strong troopers are being disrupted in
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: in performing their duties in rounding up people and uh
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: and and of course there was the shooting today of
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: the wounded UH wounding a man and all this stuff.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Is very upset by this. So he he threatened this
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: morning to send the military in Ice is not enough.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Let's escalate and send the military in to do that.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Trump has said that he will basically activate the Insurrection Act,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: the Insurrection Act. This is Trump. If the corrupt politicians
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: of Minnesota don't obey the law and stop the professional
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: agitators and insurrectionists. There's no evidence that these are professional agitators.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: These seem to be just concerned citizens of Minneapolis, many
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: of them on the left. Minneapolis is quite a blue
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: city anyway. Don't obey the law and stop the professional
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the patriots of Ice who
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: are only trying to do their job. I will institute
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: the Insurrection Act, which many presidents have done before me,
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: and quickly put an end to the travesty that is
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: plaguing place in that once great state that was untruthed
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: social Now Tim Walls is worried about this. He's encouraging
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Trump and everybody else to turn the temperature down, and
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: he says, stopped this campaign retribution. I'm sure that will
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: turn the temperature down. This is not who we are, right. Basically,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: let's not getting each here in a civil war. So
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: you know, let's talk a little bit about the Insurrection Act.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: A lot of talk about it. Let's talk about what
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: it is. This is an act that was enacted in
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: seventeen ninety two, so right after the ratification of the Constitution.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: It was had major revisions placed in it in eighteen
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: oh seven, so this is it is coded into US law.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: The purpose was to allow federal military forces to enforce
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: laws or restore order without a governor's consent in extreme circumstances.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: So it's the ability to use to use federal troops
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: in the states, superseding in a sense, the idea of
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: state rights in order to in order to prevent things
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: like insurrections. It is the main statuty exception to the
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: posse Coomatadis Act, which normally forbids the military from acting
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: as domestic law enforcement. So unless you institute the Insurrection Act,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: military forces cannot cannot be used for domestic law enforcement.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: This is why Trump would fd use the Insurrection Act.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: This is a past during John Adams. I don't know
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: if it was part of the Aliens Sedition Act, but
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if it was part of that.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: A very very bad act that is parts of it
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: are still in the books, and I think Trump has
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: used parts of it. What is the act actually permit?
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: It permits the president to deploy troops in three broad
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: situations at a state's request if a state requests help
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: of federal forces. This happened as well, see in the
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: riots in la in what is it in late nineteen eighties.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: I remember those riots pretty brutal, and California asked for
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: federal help and George W. Bushsenia used the Insurrection Act
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: in order to facilitate that request. So that's one second,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: enforcing federal law when ordinary law enforcement cannot enforce federal authority.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: So think Slavery. Three protecting civil rights when states failed
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: to protect constitutional rights, especially voting out ego protection. So
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: let's think about you know, its uses, the Insurrection Acts uses.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: George Washington used it in seventeen ninety four. I guess
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: seventeen ninety two is not under Adams, this is under Washington.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: So I was wrong. Somebody led me wrong. Snaric led
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: me wrong. This is under George Washington seventeen ninety two.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: So the bill was passed under Washington, and Washington was
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: the first to use it, and he used it to
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: suppress the Whisky rebellion. Not a good use of it. Basically,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: he used it in order to facilitate the imposition of attacks.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Not good. So this is the and it was also,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: by the way, it kind of funny the first and
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: only time as sitting president personally led the troops into
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: the field. So they went into battle with George Washington
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: leading them. It was an anti tax, anti tax, anti
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Tex rebellion led by bootleggers, you know, people who produced whiskey.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: It's called the Whiskey rebellion. During the Civil War and
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: then Reconstruction, it was used extensively during the Civil War
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: to suppress rebellion and enforce federal authority. And in the
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: post war periods it was used to combat the Kluksrucks
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Klan and enforced reconstruction law. In the civil rights era,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Dwight Eisenhower in nineteen fifty seven sent troops to Little
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Rock famously to enforce school desegregation. So this is in
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: the name of civil rights. Lind Vy Johnson in sixty
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: five through sixty eight used troops on several riots, major riots,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: again to protect civil rights marches that were going on
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: at the time. And then as I said. It was
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: used in nineteen ninety two, so non in the late
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: eighties early nineties by George H. W but at the
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: request of California during the Los Angeles riots after the
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Rodney King verdict. Since nineteen ninety two, no president has
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: invoked the Insurrection Act. It has never been used. So
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: this is an act, in spite of what Trump said,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: that is very very rarely used, particularly in modern times.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: There was some discussion in Nabush Junior's period to use
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: it after Hurricane Katrina when crime spiraled out of control,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: but it was not used. And then under Trump, there
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: was a talk of using it during the George Floyd
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: riots protests that turned into riots, but it was not used.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: It was not used. National guards were deployed, but through
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: state authority, not through federal authority. So that is the
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: kind of background on the Insurrection Act. It gives the
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: president a lot of discretion. It has very few safeguards.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, once you send the military into a city,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: what can and cannot do? What rights? What laws does
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: it abide by? If it kills civilians? Is that okay?
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Not okay? By what standards? Uh? It bypasses state governors
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: and state laws, and it basically is a militarization of
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: domestic politics and can crete real conflicts between federal authorities
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: and state authorities, you know, federal troops and local law enforcement.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: It grants could grant quasi martial law powers. You can
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: imagine circumstances where it's appropriate. This is in one of them.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: The problems ICE is having in Minneapol, Minnesota, particularly Minneapolis,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: are caused by ICE, the self inflicted. It's because they're
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: behaving like you know, little authoritarian monsters. It's because they
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: have no respect for the citizens they are supposed to serve.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: I will remind you again, can never remind people enough
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: of this. Government is our servant. Law enforcement is our servant.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: All law enforcement is there to serve us. When law
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: enforcement comes to a peaceful neighborhood and people are harassed,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: then it's law enforcement that is a fault. If people
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: don't understand why law enforcement is there, because it should
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: only be there to protect them, then you're either not
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: explaining it well or maybe possible believe in the case
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: of Ice, they're not there to protect anybody. They're there
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: to harass. That's the whole purpose, I mean, the whole
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: the whole mindset of government is our servant has been
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: lost in America. Governments shouldn't have secrets, you know, except
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: spies in the field and who could get hurt. But
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: gomon shouldn't have secrets, shouldn't be redacting documents. Coman shouldn't
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: know stuff that we can't know. They'll work for us,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: not the other way around. Governments shouldn't sell law enforcement
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: into peaceful neighborhoods just to harass. If it's peaceful, they
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: don't need to be there. Govermnan is there to protect
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: us of force to protect us some bad guys. We're
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: the bad guys. And if they have an address of
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: somebody bad living somewhere, go arrest them and get out
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: of there. They're not there to push you around, to
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: tell you what you can and cannot do, what you
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: can and cannot film well you can and cannot stand.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: So the problem in Minneapolis is caused by government. It's
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: caused by ice, it's caused by this administration. If it's
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: concerned about the classes, I should retreat as it should,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: because it's not wanted. It tells you something. If it's
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: not wanted, tells you something. If it's not wanted. What
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: is it there for? Then? All right, guys, another quick
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: reminded to like the show before you leave. It really
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: helps with the algorithm. Doesn't cost you nothing to press
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: that button. Whether you're on your phone, on a computer,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: on iPad or whatever, press the button. I really really
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: appreciate that. And of course, if you're not a subscriber, subscriber,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: please subscribe. I have to admit that I have lost
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: quite a few subscribers over the last week or so
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: because of my comments on ICE. I've gained some too,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: net small loss, but loss gain net is a small loss.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: It happens every few months I say something that defends
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: many of the people who don't know me. Well, those
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: of you who know me, well, you kind of know,
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: you kind of know, expect all right. News coming out
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: of Gaza is that the Trump administration has declared declared
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: that we are now moving into phase two of the
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Gauza Please Peace Plan. Wit Coough has said that this
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: phase will begin the full demilitarization and reconstruction of Gaza.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: I laugh, because deal militarization. Really Hamas is going to
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: hand over their weapons. This is ri kav quote today
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: on behalf of Persid of Trump. We're announcing the launch
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: of phase two of the President's twenty point plan to
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: end the Gaza conflict, moving from cease fire to demilitarization,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: technocratic governance, and reconstruction. So what they have done, supposedly,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: if there's appointed a fifteen member a technocratic government, a
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: government of technocrats to run Gaza, I suppose the Hamas
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: has agreed to that, agree to the technocratic But Hamas
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: is clearly not agreed to demilitarization, and there still is
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: no international force that is capable and willing to go
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: into Gaza to de military. It's the only people who
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: actually are eager to go into Gaza up countries like
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: the Tucks. They want to go in because they want
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: to go in and probably resupply Hamas with more weapons
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: to harass Israel. They don't want to go in to
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: disarm Hamas. So we've got a fifteen member technocratic governments.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: So these are people who are not affiliated with any
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: of the political parties in Gaza, who are just technocrats.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Suppose the who were on the verge of announcing the
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Peace Board, the Board of Governance that Trump is going
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: to head, that will that will oversee the reconstruction. But everything,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: all of this is completely moote as long as Ramas
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: does not de militarize, as long as it doesn't give
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: up its weapons. So you know. According to Wikoff, the
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: phase two is to establish as a transitional technocratic Palestinian
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: administration in Gaza. Uh. It'll called we called the National
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Committee for Administration of Gaza and c a g uh
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: and uh and then it will begin the full demilitarization reconstruction,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: primarily disarmament of all unauthorized personnel. Now unauthorized is Ramas unauthorized.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Who is going to tell Hamas that is whitcuff going
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: over there and telling them. Uh. He's also telling the
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: the Ramas the failure to demilitarize will bring serious consequences.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Serious Okay, we'll see, uh, we'll see what that means. Yeah,
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: I mean Officer of the Prime Minister is saying Hamas
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: is required to meet the terms of the agreement to
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: exert one hundred percent effort the return of all fallen
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: hostages down to the last one. There's one body still missing,
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: the body of run Grelli, who is who is missing
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: and is is demanding that the search continue for his
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: Bodymas spokesman likes this. It's an important positive development. They're
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: fully prepared to hand over the administration of Gaza Strip
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: to the n c A G No worry about whether
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: they're willing to disarm, because we actually know what they
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: think about that. Anyway, that is, that is where we are.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll see what what what happens next. Trump
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: has said that the vote a piece would be made
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: up of the most important leaders of the most important countries,
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: although he didn't name any names. I think about a
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: piece is going to be Trump and putin most important
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: leaders are the most important countries, acording to Trump. I
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: think that makes sense. That's probably what's going to happen. Anyway,
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: we will see, we will see what happens. I am
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: not particularly not particularly excited. Uh. And the three Arab
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: countries that are working with wit cough, Egypt, Took, and
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: Katau are all hostile to Israel. Egypt the least, Tooky,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: and Katau very much hostile. They're the ones working with
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: the Americans. They're the ones. And that suggests nothing good
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: for Israel can come of it, none of it. The
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: you know, here's a you know, a pair of US
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: officials express significant optimism about the chances of stabilizing Gaza
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: during a wet Wednesday briefing and meeting from just kind
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: of a news release briefing held shortly after Washington announced
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: the start of a new phase of the Trump's plan
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: to end war in the enclave. And you know it,
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: it's cites with coff and so on. This is what
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Edrew Fox, one of the best commentators on the situation
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: in Gaza, has to say. He says, an almost charming
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: level of self delusion reveals the extent to which Ramas
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: and their backers are playing the Trump administration for fools.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: So just like Putin, and like the Katari's, and like
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: I think ultimately we'll see the Venezuelans, and like the Chinese,
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: Trump is being played for a full Trump is being
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: played for a fool. And America first, we are not getting.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: We are getting, you know, bad policies for America. I
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: was on I was doing a radio interview today. I
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: do a regular radio in view for station in Sacramento, California.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Second went in California and they interview me and then
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: they tape it and I assume they broadcasted. I'm not
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: sure when because I'm not in Sacramentos. I don't hear it,
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: but they call me up every few weeks and we do.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: We tape one. And today it was funny because you know,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: they were they were, you know, they wanted the interviewers
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: about Trump's economic pol season. I went through how bad
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: tariffs are, and they said, you know, they couldn't accept it.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: They wouldn't accept it. Was like, but Trump keeps telling
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: us that billions of dollars are coming in in revenue
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: and all this good stuff is happening. And I'm saying, yeah,
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: if you raise taxes on Americans, billions will come in
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: on revenue. That's not surprising. Republicans traditionally have tried to
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: claim that they can close the deficit without raising taxes
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: in Americans. If you want to raise Texas in Americans,
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: at least be honest about it and say so, raising
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: taxes on Americans. And that's where the billions are coming.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: But they're not coming from other countries. They're coming from Americans.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: And it was like two, mind boggling. And then but
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: he also tells us that manufacturing is a revival and
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: manufacturing is happening, and I said, well, why then have
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: we lost well over seventy thousand jobs in manufacturing since
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: Trump came into office. Why is a manufacturing investment down?
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: Why is manufacturing being eviscerted? And I said it's because
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: of the tariffs. Tafts are not helping manufacturing, They're destroying manufacturing,
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: which is exactly what me and other economists said, wuld
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: happen suddainly, you know, in the first few years. So
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: what are you talking about? And they just couldn't wrap
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: their heads around the idea. The Trump is as ignorant
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: and as pathetic and as incompetent and as dumb as
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: he really is. They are so they so want it
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: not to be so right, and you know, but he's
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: going to cap He's gonna get interest rates and credit cards.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: That'll help him pens And I was like, no, it won't.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: Price controls never help anybody. Come on, guys, it's like
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: these are these I mean, these are Republicans. They want
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: to be pro free markets, but Trump has moved them
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: to what's central planning. And I can look, he's a
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: central planner. He's a socialist. He's like Mamdani and blew
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: their minds. They can't hold it. And every time they
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: call me. It's like, that's surprised by how anti Trump
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: I am. But they keep calling because they're looking for
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: voice who is not left, who is pro free markets,
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: who's critical of Trump, and there's so few of us.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: There's so few of us who are going to be
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: honest about this. There are a lot of people who
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying is true. A lot of people
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: out there know what I'm saying is true, but there's
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: so few that are honest and willing to say it
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: that they are desperate to find somebody that's for the signe.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: Desperate to find somebody. All right, talked about gods. Oh yeah,
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: let's talk about more of Trump's betrayals. So Trump told
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: utters today. Trump told wroultzs today that Putin is ready
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: to make a deal, which is shocking to everybody because
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: Putin is literally said over and over again he's not.
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: And indeed his foreign minister, I think his foreign minister
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: said today that they don't just want the four provinces
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: that are being discussed. They want Adasa as well. They
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: want the entire south and eastern part of Ukraine, and
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: that's their goal, and they will not settle for anything
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: less than that. But Trump told Reuters today that Putin
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: is ready to make a deal. And then when Reuter's asked, well,
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: what's the hold up, he said, Zelenski, we have to
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: get President Zelensky to go along with it. I don't know.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: It sends you don't want to throw up, I really do.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: It is so disgusting. And this president is so disgusting.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: He's so pro Putin, he's so pro Russia. But we
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: are told by you know, incredible people that he's one
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: of the greatest presidents in American history, one of the
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: greatest presidents in American history. But this guy is a
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is he is such a betrayer. He's
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: a betray of the West. He's betrayed of America, a
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: betray of Ukraine and Iran, but betray of America. So
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: it's all Zelenski's fault. It's all Zelenski's fault. I mean,
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: somebody wrote this tweet, he says. Trump. Here's the sequence
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: of events, right, it keeps happening. Trump makes a comment
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: about Zelensky. Europe Russia stayte defense, Trump uld Putin talk
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: say they're really very close to ideal. Europeans all meet
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: in panic, make a counterproposal. McConn star emerts Zelensky to
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: the White House, all smiles, big tables, no progress, drones
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: and missiles hit Kiev. Trump frustrated with Putin. Nothing happens
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: for two months, repeat.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: It.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just awful. And you could end this WARL. You really,
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: really really could end this WARL by arming the Ukrainians
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: to the teeth or by sanctioning Russia properly. So there's
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: a bill in Congress, backed by Senator Lindsey Graham, that
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: would place massive sanctions on anybody who bought Russian oil.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: And it would basically, you know, it would impose tariffs
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: of up to five hundred percent on countries that purchased
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: Russian oil. Now I don't think this is particularly the
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: right way to do it, but fine. It would basically
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: stop the Chinese from buying Russian oil because they wouldn't
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: want to face those traoffs. And it would stop India,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: India and China the main purchases of Russian oil. So
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: this is a bill in Congress. The Trump has said,
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: has said, I guess last week that he had greenlit it.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: He was fourt he was all behind it. And supposely
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: the bill has eighty Senate cosponsors eighty eight zero, so
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: it could even overcome a confdo and it stuck. It's
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: going nowhere. It's going nowhere. Despite this is in the
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal. Despite mister Trump's apparent approval and strong
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: bite partisan support, the sanctioned bill remains in limbo. Congress
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: is preoccupied trying to pass government funding bills before deadline
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: at the end of the month, given coment congressional dysfunction,
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: even showing that American capaccy appropriation would be in achievement,
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: but Congress can't sleep on a window of opportunity to
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: improve the US position visa vi mister Putin and his
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: friends at Beijing, Beijing and Tehran. What's happening in the
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: world isn't a series of coincidental, unrelated events. Under Joe Biden,
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: an access of US adversaries arose and is working together
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: against the West, China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and Cuba
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: and Venezuela. Iran has fed Russian drone owns for its
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: war Ukraine, and Russia returns to favor with military training,
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: jets and cash. North Korea provides artillery shells and troops,
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: while Russia protects Pong Pan from nuclear program. China buys
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: all from Russia while supplying via parts of Kremlin's military
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: in Venezuela and Iran. Mister Trump is targeting the weak
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: links of this coalition's hostility. We hope the Russia sanctioned
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: bill is an attempt to raise the cost of the
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: corporation by cutting off a major source of finance for
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: Russia's war of conquest. Congress can help the Command and
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: Achieve play every card in this large strategic contest by
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: giving him the ability to impost sanctions on Russian oil purchases.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: But he won't. He's in Putin's pocket. One way or another.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: There is no frigging question about the fact that this
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: president is beholden to the Russians. I don't know if
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: they have something on him, or it's just a bromance.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: It's just he has a crush on Putin. But one
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: or another, he's in his pocket. It's a reality. You
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: can't explain stuff otherwise. Right, he's pro Russia and ultimately
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: beholden to Putin. All Right, a little bit of good news,
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: good news only in that politician actually saying what all
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: of us have known already. This is Frederick Mertz, the
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: Prime Minister of Germany. This is what he said. I
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: guess it was yesterday. At least three years ago. We
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: had to leave the last remaining nuclear power plants in
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: Germany on the grid, so we at least had the
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: power generation capacities we had at that time. We have
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: taken over something that's his government that we now have
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: to correct. But we just don't have enough energy generation capabilities.
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: The response to that should be a massive collective duh.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: So at least Motz admitted the ditching nuclear was a
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: serious strategic mistake and that now Germany is running the
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: world's most expensive energy transition and it can't really do
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: it and it's hurting it economically. And the reason industry
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: in Germany is struggling is not because of China. It's
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: because of energy costs. Energy costs absurd in Germany. And
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: that's all because they shut down nuclear pop plants in
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: the name of wind farms and solar panels. Solar panels
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: in Germany. Although people tell me, people tell me the
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: southeast Germany has some sunlight once in a while, the
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: sun does shine amazing. But finally a politician saying whoops,
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: we screwed up. We screwed up a little late. How
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: about turning those nuclear pop plants on? All right, here's
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: a piece of really really really really bad news, really
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: bad news. This is a tweet by a Lone Musk,
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: our protector, a free speech protector, the bastion, the warrior
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: for free speech. This is what Alone Musk wrote. It's
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: not a retweet, this is literally what he wrote. Teaching
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: people to hate America fundamentally destroys patriotism and the desire
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: to defend our country. Such teachings should be viewed as
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: treason and those who do it imprisoned. Wow, Teaching people
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: to hate America fundamentally destroys patriotism and the desire to
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: defend our country. Such teachings should be viewed as treason
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: and those who do it imprisoned. Now, who is going
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: to decide what hating America? What teaching hating America constitutes? Well,
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: the people in power, the people in power, I mean,
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: how are they going to decide? By what metric are
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: they going to decide? Teaching people to hate America, teaching
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: people offensive stuff, teaching people anything that's false is what
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: the First Amendment is actually there to protect. It's what
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: faces each is all about free speech, is that to
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: protect offensive speech, speech you find offensive. Because if we
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: all didn't find anything offensive, and all said only things
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: that everybody else was okay with, you need you would
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: need a First Amendment. You wouldn't need a First Amendment.
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: The whole point of the First Amendment is to protect us,
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: to protect those of us, include myself, who say offensive things.
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, what's the difference between a lun Musk and
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: the woke left? Only in who gets offended? Here he's saying,
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: if America gets offended, if the authorities decide that it's
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: an offense against America, then it's treasoness and they should
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: have been in prisoned. The left says, if anybody gets offended,
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: anybody who's of the oppressed classes gets offended, then it
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: should be banned. But the principle is the same, both
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: of violating free speech, both a violating the First Amendment.
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: And this is the guy everybody praises, he saved free speech,
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: he saved the First Amendment. I mean, this is one
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: of the most troubling, depressing statements, probably the most that
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: alone Musk has ever mean, He's made a number of
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: really really racist ones lately, But this one is just
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: off the charts because it's so an American and because
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: so many listen. So many people listen to him, and
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: so many people think that he is the guy who's
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: going to defend free speech in this country. He has
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: no clue. I mean, Elone Musk is a brilliant businessman.
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: He's a brilliant entrepreneur. He's ambitious when it comes to business,
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: and his companies are stunning. But he's an ignoramus when
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: he comes to politics, and ignoramous when he comes to freedom,
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: and gnbrimous when he comes to free speech, and ignoremus
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: when it comes to political philosophy. But he's worse than
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: ignoremus He is dangerous, dangerous. I mean a statement like that,
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: by the way, is in my view, unequivocally anti American. Hmm.
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: Sounds like treason to me. I think he should be
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: imperson for that. I mean, it really is. It really
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: is horrible. Somebody should get him off of Twitter, keep
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: him in there in managing the country. That's not what
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: I'm America is about. Not what America is about. Somebody
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: states an American and here's an immigrant who fails to
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: assimilate and learn the importance of the First Amendment. Yep,
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: on that key feature, elun Musk has failed to assimilate
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: into America. Maybe you should be deported. I'm kidding. I
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: don't mean that very disappointing anyway, Christian if you're listening,
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: that on the free speech would be a good short,
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: three fourth minute thing stand alone. Go after a lun Musk.
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: His name in the title should get some views. All right, finally,
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: more bad news. What can I do? So you know,
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: they're basically now we've got about a third of the
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: country where you have states, about a third of the
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: state in the country, you cannot get an abortion, and
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: basically they've made it impossible to get any kind of
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: abortion under almost any circumstances, including in some of the states,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: you cannot even get an abortion using an abortion pill.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: And if you do get an abortion using an abortion pill,
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: you know, you basically kind of committed murder, right and
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: some of it so Louisiana, for example. Louisiana for example,
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: makes the provision of abortion pills illegal and a criminal offense.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: So nobody in the state will issue an abortion pill.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: You can't get it in the state, no doctor will
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: issue it. So they are services in states like California
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: and New York. There will mail you an abortion pill.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: So yes. On Tuesday, Louisiana officials moved to extradite a
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: California doctor the state indicated indicted on a charge of
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: providing abortion pills the Louisiana resident. So basically, the governor
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: of Louisiana, a Republican of course, is going to sign
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: an extradition order after attorney general. The Attorney General announced
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: the indictment against the doctor Remy I can't pronounce his
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: name of Sonoma County, California. Now, this is the second
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: time they have sought criminal prosecution an extradition of an
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: out of state doctor over a prescription of an abortion pill.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: Last year they saw the extradition of a New York
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: based abortion provider. Now both New York and California have
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: bills have laws that make it illegal for the state
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: to extradite somebody for this cause. Right, so nothing will
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: actually happen, But it is really stunning, stunning how bad
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: these states are on abortion, how anti life, anti women,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: anti life they are, how much they hate human life.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: Because that's what I think this kind of stands on
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: abortion represents to deny a woman an anti abortion pill
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: when whatever it is, it's just a clump of cells.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: It's just monsters, just monsters. You know. They basically tracked this, right,
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: they track this package, not talking about the violation of privacy,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: right because I get something in the mail, I take
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: a pill, have an abortion. How does the state know
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: any of this? How does the state know any of this?
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: It is, you know, just truly unbelievable. Louisiana has classified
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: these abortion pills as dangerous controlled substances, even though, of course,
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: the FDA and much other research has shown them to
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: be completely and utterly safe except they do cause an abortion.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: They're widely used, incredibly safe, So yeah, think about this.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: The case involved a woman who learned she was pregnant
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: in October twenty twenty three. Soon afterwards, searched online for
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: ways to obtain the abortion pill. She found something called
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: aid Access, an organization that will prescribe and send abortion
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: medication to any state. She received the pills in the
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: mail after supplying her personal information on a phone and
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: paying one hundred and fifty dollars. She took the medication
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: and terminated her pregnancy soon after the document. Soon after
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: how did they discover this? Right from the package's postal
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: tracking number, the investigators determined that the medication was sent
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: from a business under this particular doctor's name. Who are
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: they now indicting? How did they get the number? How
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: did they get this information? Who is either squealing on
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: them on this? So are they in what ways are
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: they violating their privacy of people? I mean this is monsters.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: It just really is monsters and ridiculous. So yeah, I'm
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: very much against the Hobbs' decision. Rovers has weighed, maybe
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: it was badly argued, as many say, who cares what
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: it's done. Repealing of Rovers's weight has just made the
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: lives of so many women in a third of states
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: in this country just that they you know, it's it's
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: it's it's made particularly poor poor women. I mean, wealthy
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: women can get on a plane and go to another
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: state and have an abortion and probably nobody will do
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: anything about it. It's poor women who can't afford that,
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: and you can't afford kind of the leader of defense,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: who are going to get hurt. But women are getting sick.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: But women are almost dying. Doctors and unperforming abortions when
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: they you know, even even for medical cases. It just
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: the state of abortion in states like Texas and Louisiana
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: is horrific, horrific. Now I talk about pregnancy and related items.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: There was in exchange in the Senate I think yesterday
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: or the day before that is making the rounds and
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: the exchange I guess this is yesterday and is making
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: the rounds, and it's an exchange that basically shows how
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: pathetic the left is. I mean, the right is pathetic
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: about these issues, but this is just a left being
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: so stupid. You know, the Republicans are in trouble. The
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: left has a real opportunity to crush them in the
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: medium elections and potentially even in twenty twenty eight. Trump
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: is unpopular. Many of his policy is unpopular. But there's
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: certain issues that the left insists on that are losers
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: for them. They're not good issues, they don't make any sense,
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: and they losers for them, and yet the left, certain
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: people on the left, keeps doubling down on them. See
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: he's part of the exchange. Senator Haley, as you know,
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: my favorite senator by the way, who capitulated and instead
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: of voting. You remember, there was this bill to acquire
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: the president to get congressional approval for any additional military
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: operation of Venezuela. And initially when the bill came up,
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: Hally voted for it, and I said at the time,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: this is the first time I've seen Holly do something right.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: When it actually came up for vote to count, when
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: accounted a, Trump had a conversation with Holly, and Holly
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: voted against it. So even the one time I said
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: he did something good, he immediately retracted it. So no
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: good guy anyway. Senator Holly asked us doctor leftists at
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: you know, activist doctor, can men get pregnant? Can men
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: get pregnant? Pretty simple question? Doctor Wiemer says, I'm not
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: really sure what the goal of the question is. The
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: goal is the truth, Holly says, as if he cares
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: about the truth and to establish a biological reality. So
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: can men get pregnant? Verma says, I can't. I take
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: care of people with many identities. Holly says, you testified
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: a moment ago. Science and evidence should control medicine. Now politics,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: do science and evidence tell us that biological men can
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: get pregnant? Verma says, I also think yes and no.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: Questions like this are political tools. I mean the answers no,
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: not yet anyway. It's very simple. Even men who transition
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: can get pregnant. None, if they're truly transitioned. It's very
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: simple question. It's a very simple answer, and it shouldn't
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: get in the way of I don't know, advocating for
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: certain position on trans rights or trans people. That is
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: opposite of halise. This is not a This is not
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: a tough one. Can you say there more than two genders? Okay,
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: well yeah, blah blah blah blah blah. You can, you
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: can come up with stuff, but this is pretty straightforward.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: Men can now get pregnant now. It doesn't mean they
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: can in the future when when we have you know,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: various various conversion tools, but transhumanism or whatever. As of today,
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: men cannot get pregnant. It's an easy answer, easy answer,
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: Just say it. And he goes on and on and
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: on for several like, for several rounds. This is a
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: hard doctor, kny, men get pregnant. I would be more
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: than happy to have a conversation with you that is
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: not coming from a place that is trying to be polarizing.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: What bullshit. Dan says, No, and then it's follow up
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: whatever it happens to me, you can get after him
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: about I don't know whatever it is your agenda is.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: It's just the left is so dumb, so dumb. I mean,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: we've got, you know, arguably fascism on the rise, and
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: the left want to argue about men getting pregnant. Like focus, people, focus,
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: Let's defeat the real enemy here, the real enemy. The
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: solution of problems is not trans solution to problems is
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: just a little of sanity which you are not exhibiting.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: People not exhibiting. All right, guys, that is the news
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: for this Thursday, January fifteenth, middle of January. Already, God.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: Time is just flying by, by, flying by.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: So yeah, questions. We made our first our goal. That's great.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: Thank you to first principles here. And we had a
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: few food stickers that I probably didn't think, so thank
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: you to all the stick of people I think. Travis,
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: thank you, and Alan, thank you, and Alex again, thank you,

  Speaker 1: opas study group. Hopefully it'll help me better address complex
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: philosophical questions my sun raises. Would you consider involving a
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: philosophy a philosopher for select sections or Q and A
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: or do you think that unnecessary or cost prohibitive? Thanks,
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: it's a good idea. It's a good idea. Maybe one
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: session every few sessions will bring somebody like Greg on
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: or on call on to answer any questions that I
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: could not or that have accumulated that you guys would
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: like to ask. So certainly we could do that, whether
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: we do that directly as part of the Oakland Study
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: part okon Opas study group, or whether we do that
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: as part of the interviews I do here will give
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: you access. I'll give you access on a regular basis
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: to a philosopher to ask questions that I can't answer.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: And I'll try also to make a record of those
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: so that we we we we you know, we keep
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: a we keep a list of them, right, we keep
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: a list on Actually, we'll have a philosopher on a
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: week from Monday. Monday, we're going to have We're gonna
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: uh kind of turn the schedule upside down. On Monday,
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: we actually are doing interview. I'm doing an interview with
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: uh three people in the healthcare space, uh Ray Sure,
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: who is running FCAM, which is American for for Free
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: Choice in Medicine. And Jared Rhodes. Oh we don't have
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: the doctor. I thought we had the doctor. And Jared Rhodes,
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: who is in basically in uh establishing a think tank
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: for freedom and healthcare. So we're gonna have both of
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: them on on Monday. But that's going to be on
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: at one o'clock East Coast time one o'clock East Coast time,
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: and then I'll do the new show in the evening.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: Usually I do the interview in the evening, and we're
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: going to reverse that. And then the week after that
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: we've got Ben at seven pm East Coast time. We
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: got Ben Bear on for an interview, so Ben Bear
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: is coming. We will have a philosopher soon. I'm also
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: in the post of scheduling Greg to come on sometime
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: in early February, so that'll be that'd be cool. That'll
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: be cool as well. All right, thank you first principles,
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: and yeah, I'm more information about OPAH Study Group sometime
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: next week. And my guess is well started in the
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: middle of February, just just the logistics of it, getting
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: everybody signed up, getting a mailing list, getting the platform
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: ready and all of that. So my yes is mid February,
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: will start. Frank fifty dollars. Thank you, Frank, thanks forst
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: principal for the fifty and Frank as well, thanks us
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: thankfully to profit it from silver Stella Climb. Good for you.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: That's great reading. Schill Is on the Esthetic education of
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: man Ooh, that is schill is very good. I haven't
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: read that once. But I love his plays. Maybe the
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: death spiral of modern politics can be challenged by Rand's
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: aesthetic individuals. Yeah, I mean, I think that's right. I
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: think art aesthetics is going to play an important role
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: in challenging in challenging the statism of modern times, of
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: challenging kind of modern politics. Aesthetics is in wild play
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: a role Rand's view of the heroic man, Rand's view
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: of the rational reason in reason heroic man. I think
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: we'll play a role in challenging modern politics and reversing
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: the trend. It's all about timing and how quickly that
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: can happen and when that will happen. But I do
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: think it will, It will happen, will happen? All right? Okay,
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: next few questions. The twenty dollars questions go to those
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: You said communism appears to be more sustainable than fascism
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: and gave North Korea as an example. But is North
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: Korea model really sustainable without semi capitalist China popping them up?
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: They may have collapsed fifty years ago. Maybe I don't
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: know enough about North Korea to say China props them
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: up a little bit, but not that much. Russia props
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: them up a little bit. Certainly in modern times, it's
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: possible that they couldn't sustain it. But look, you so
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: each union survived for what seventy something years? Right, Silvic
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: juniors survived for seventy something years. I don't know any
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: fascist regimes survived that long. But generally, in a world
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: where there is some freedom, I think authoritarian regimes struggle
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: to survive. I mean, it's one of the things that
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: makes Iran so sad and so pathetic is that that
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: regime has survived for as long as it has. It's
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine. It shouldn't be possible, it shouldn't have happened.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: It's just an indication of a week the you know, the
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: what do you call it? The West has been in
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: dealing with them. A little bit of pressure, a little
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: bit more pressure from the West, and the Islamic Republic
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: would have collapsed, so called republic, the Islamic state would
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: collapse a long time ago, a long time ago. So yep, um,
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: all right. I wanted to what did I want to do?
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: I wanted to thank Woland for his sticker. Thank you Roland.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: I appreciate the Swiss, Fanks and John thank you as well.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: I assume think Swiss Fanks have done well visa vis
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: the dollar. They have stoically, and I assume they're still
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: doing it because the dollar has gone down a lot
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: and the Swiss Fanks maybe doing doing better. All right, um,
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: let's see what do I want to do here? Let
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: me do that to that? All right? Somebody asked somebody
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: asked Patreon, how many I've added this month? Seven? So
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: the goal is ten new people a month? So I've
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: added I've added seven net right net seven. I'm trying
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: to see. Yeah, nine new people and two canceled, so
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: on net we added seven. The net has to be
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: I mean has to be. My goal is to get
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: the net to ten, right to ten a month? So
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: three more this month, so seven and a half a
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: month is not bad. It would be great if that
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: pace continued, right, So Liam, you know, let me just
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: say about fascism versus communism, I don't know if one
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: is necessarily more stable than the other. Fascism tends towards war,
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: and war tends to be destabilizing. That's the only thing
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: I can think of really the matters in the big picture.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: But what do we call the Chinese regime right now.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: It's not communist, it's not exactly fascist. It's more fascist
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: than communist. And it doesn't seem to hold. It doesn't
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: seem to it seems to be ongoing. So I don't maybe,
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, maybe there is no correlation between how sustainable
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: it is. Neither one is very sustainable if you look
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: at the scope of history. But maybe there is no
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: real reason to assume that one is better than the other.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: Hapa Campbell. Is it possible Trump invokes the insurrection to
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: act as a cover to impose martial law. Elections could
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: be canceled, or if they happen, Trump could surround polling
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: places with federal law enforcement to intimidate voters. I always
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: assumed the guy after Trump would impose dictatorship, and maybe
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: Trump will speed things up and do it himself. I
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: don't think so. I mean, I guess it's possible, but
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think it's much more likely
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: than after an election happens. I think Trump doesn't want
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: to suspend elections. What he wants is to say he
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: wins them. He's like, you know, he's like Putsin and
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: Auban more than he is like she Putin has pretend elections.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: He likes to pretend elections, and I think Trump likes
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: pretend elections and he would like the elections to be pretent.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: So I think having the election and then rigging the
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: results is much more like Trump than declaring martial law
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: and not having elections, which I think he would He
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: and some of the people around him would view defeat
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: because they want to pretend, maybe even in their own mind,
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: that they are the good guys and they are pro American,
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: and they are you know, the people love them and
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: people will vote for them, and they have nothing to
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: fear from the people. I think they need that delusion.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: Sir Mannick says, the carrier strike group won't reach you
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: on until this weekend, so probably nothing until then, and
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: possibly too late. Yeah. I mean, if they mula's play
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: their cards right, then it won't happen on the weekend
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: and they will drag and then nothing will happen. So
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: we'll see. We'll see. There's a carrier group in the
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: south in Asia that is heading towards the Middle East
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: right now, and supposely the Pentagon wants that carry group
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: there in order to help shoot down any missile that
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: Iran might fire towards Israel or towards Saudi Arabia and
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: kata It feels like it needs them the carrier group.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: Whether it does or doesn't, who knows whether it makes
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: a difference or not. I don't know. Lincoln says. A
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: really good little speech on Iran by a rock star
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: called ju Jung Blood young Blood going viral on Twitter.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: A bit would love to hear your action next show.
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: I'll check it out, I'll young Blood, I'll look for it.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: I'll look for it, all right. And don't you think
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: some experts are worth heeding? Well? Yeah, I mean I
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: heed my doctor. I even have a financial advisor, even
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: though I PC finance, have a financial advisor, and I
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: basically heed her advice completely. She just manages my money.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: I uh, by the way, that's handle shot wealth. But
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: what else don't Don't you think experts are worth heating? Yeah,
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: I mean lots of experts are. But when it comes
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: to the military, what I have found is that military
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: experts inside and outside the Pentagon constantly, systematically, over time
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: over estimate the power of the enemy in particularly in
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: the Middle East. But generally, and one has to take
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: that into account. One has to take that into account.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: So I mean, uh, I think I think experts need
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: to be listened to because it's all you have. H
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: They're usually experts on both sides of issues, and it's
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: up to you to choose who to talk to, who
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: listen to. But I don't trust the people at the Pentagon.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: I particularly don't trust the people that Trump is appointed
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: at the Pentagon. And I'm not sure they're experts. And look,
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: the experts were wrong about the Gauzla thing. Now I
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: was right. Now I'm I'm expert. Well it looks like
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't have thought so. But relative to the people
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 1: that come on Fox and CNN, I'm an expert on
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: the Middle East and they arena. So yeah, I'm big
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: on experts. You should always listen to experts. And most
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: of the experts, even during COVID were right. I know
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: that'll be unpopular, but most of the experts even during
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: COVID were right. If you really listen to the experts,
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: if you look at who the experts were and you
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: listen to them, then the experts were against closing schools.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: The experts, you know, were against a bunch of things
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: that the government did. They were against shutdowns or at
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: least any of the shutdowns after the first few weeks
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: in New York. They were against locking us all up
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: at home. They were against a lot of things that
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: the government did. But you know, you have to choose
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: your experts and not just assume that the government experts
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: are the one to listen to. There are lots of experts,
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: and of course they were right or at least partially
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: right on the vaccines, which were amazing. I am a
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: huge pro vaccine guy. I just lost like one hundred
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: people on subscribe on subscribe on subscribe. He's a vax guy. Yep,
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 1: I am because I'm a science guy. I'm a big
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: believer in science. Amass an expert, was on the show.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: Almost everything that Amos said about the pandemic from day
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: one turned out to be true. Not everything, you know,
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: nobody's nobody's going to get one hundred percent record on
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: predicting the future, but all the important stuff that he
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: said about the about the COVID turned out to be right.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: And he's an expert. You know, I don't know anything
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: about and you don't know point at you. You don't
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: know anything about immunology, about viruses, about how to fight them.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: You don't And the only way you would know anything
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: is my listening to experts. Maybe you choose to find
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: the experts on YouTube, on you on book show, but
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: to sell experts. There's no knowledge without experts. Knowledge doesn't
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: exist without experts. You have no knowledge of medicine, I mean,
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: and you don't become an expert by watching TikTok videos,
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: and most people do TikTok videos are not experts. So anyway,
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: I am a big fan of experts. But then on
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: things I understand and know, I feel confident and sometimes
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: disagree with him, Michael. If the Aranian revolution fails, will
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: Trump be to blame partially and morally? I mean, he
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: will be viewed as you might have Obama with his
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: red line and how people make fun of that. Well,
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: people will make fun of Trump and his red line
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: for many, many years. Lots of memes will come out
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: about him saying help is on the way and all
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: of that, and him betraying the Ranian people. So he
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: might ultimately launch a military strike only because he's afraid
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: of all the memes that are going to come out
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: putting him in a bad light. Everati Key, how is
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: giving Greenland to Trump. Not apiacement. It is appeacement who
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: said it's not a piacement. I siddenly didn't. Of course
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: it would be a pieacement. I don't know who. And
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: I don't think anybody is giving Greenland to Trump, and
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't advocate for giving Greenland to Trump. They want
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: to give him bits, they want to negotiate, They want
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: to give him more troops in Greenland, they want to
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: give him mineral rights in Greenland. But they don't want
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: to give him outright Greenland at all. I mean, nobody
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: in Europe is talking about that. M Paul said, I
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: said a couple of weeks ago Trump would back out. Yeah,
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: I mean I did too, but I've also hedged a
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: little bit because there are days in which he seems serious.
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: So yeah, Michael, imagine if the Iranian revolution fails in
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: the Spen Court upholds the tariffs, I'll have to become
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: a vigilante. Hopefully not. We don't want Michael to be
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: a vigilante. That would not end well for Michael Clark.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: Is the right significantly more nihilistic than the left at
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: this point, at least far more effective with implementing its nihilism. Yeah,
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: The difference is that the nihilistic element of the left,
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 1: even under Biden, was mostly not completely, but mostly not
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: part of the power structure they were at the Fringers.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 1: Biden didn't woo from the nihilistic left, maybe with the
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 1: exception of the Border, where he let chaos reign and
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: he suffered for it. I mean they lost the election
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: because of the board ultimately, where he just looked so bad.
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: It looked like anarchy, it looked like chaos, it looked
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: like nihilism. But pretty much in all these other policies,
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: he was bad, but he wasn't nihilistic. The right as
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: a president who is governing from nihilism from their position,
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: Ice is a good example, and his Viking falln policy
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: is a good example. And of course that makes it
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: worse in that sense. But if you got an AOC
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: as president, then the left would be just as nihilistically
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: governed as the right has governed, if not more so.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: Because she's just awful, James says, I'm thinking the Serpent
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: Court is holding out to make sure they get nine
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: zero ruling to throw out the tariffs, to send a
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: message to Trump. I hope you're right. I just don't
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: see Thomas voting against Trump. Maybe maybe I'm hoping. I'm
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: hoping it's to secure bigger majority. But we'll see what,
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: you know, who knows what we'll know? Will you be
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: having Alex Epstein on anytime soon? And I hope? So,
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: you know, my my assistant, Angela is managing all the
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: invitations to people to come on the show, and she's
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: got a process, and I don't know what's I know.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: I've got Tara in late February, I think, and I'm
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 1: hoping to get Greg early February. And I'm not sure
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 1: what else. I'm not sure what how priorities are. But
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: he suddenly Alex is on the list to get on
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: another Alex Alex. How much lower can the dollar fall?
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: Visa VI the shekel? All my savings are in American stocks. Well,
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: I mean it's dropped ten percent Visa VI a world
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: basket of currencies, so it's dropping against a lot of
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: other currencies. Gold, the price of gold going up the
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: way it's gone up is suggesting that the dollar could
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: fall a lot versus the shekel and everything else. Now,
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know what happens if you really
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: get a crisis and the dollar really collapses. What happens
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: to sheket in terms of does it hold up? It
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: probably does because the shekel has, you know, not the
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: Israeli Central Bank has different monetary policy than the American one. Yeah,
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: it could fall. A lot can fall ten twenty percent
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 1: another ten twenty percent easily. Whether that will happen, I
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: don't know. But certainly the price of gold and silver
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: worries some signs for the dollar. We should be concerned
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 1: about the value of the dollar. Liam. I know this
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: is a long term integration into generational battle. But do
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: you think the Objective's movement isn't being aggressive enough. We're
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: too alliant in aari to do everything. Yeah, I think
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: that's right. I would like to see objective is more active, writing,
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: more writing for example, you know, writing let us to
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: edit a getting involved, getting involved maybe in politics, getting
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 1: involved in intellectual movements whatever, and getting objectivism mind Rand's
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: ideas out there into the culture in a bigger way. Yeah.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: I think generally people are not aggressive enough. Things are
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: bad enough that I think now it's in yourself interest
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: not just to sit back and send a check to
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: aoiight and to the Iron Book Show, but actually be
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: involved yourself, Linda. I'll bet my last dollar that Trump
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 1: had no idea what the Insurrection Act is or does. Well,
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: he knows enough to know that it allows him to
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: put troops in the streets of America. That I think
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: he knows, and that's all he needs to know for
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: his purposes, not cheavas algorithm. Eighty years after the Holocaust,
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: it's hard to believe this ideology is gaining traction again.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: It is it definitely is, definitely is yep. Who was it?
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: I think it was Tucka who suggested the whole thing
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: and he ran is the Jews Jews behind it? Na
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: chavi jaga. What do Steve Bennon and Stephen Miller want
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: just to knock stuff down? They want power, they want control.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: They want to turn America into a white nationalist Christian state.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, Stephen Miller might least be enthused about the
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: Christian stuff because he comes from a Jewish family. He
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: wants power, he wants control. He's an unbelievable, unbelievably focused
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: power luster like I've never seen before in American politics,
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 1: and he'll do anything for that power. He wants control,
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: he wants authoritarianism. He believes in authoritarianism. He is an
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 1: anti americanism. Any leftist out there, yep, the time to
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: speak up is now to prevent future dystopia. Yes, in
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: any forum you have available to you, the time is
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 1: to speak up. It's time to speak philosophy zombiehanda regard
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 1: to Iran, what event would you say would be tipping
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: point to change the regime? Well, you know, either the
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: regime institutions are destroyed by the US or Israel. That
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: means how many is killed, the Iranian parliament is destroyed,
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: the leader, the military leadership is knocked out, or much
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: of it is knocked out. That would be one tipping point.
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: Another tipping point, which I've said over and over again,
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: is when the military units, significant military units within the
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: Iranian army turn against the regime and join the demonstrators.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: Those are the things and then the regime will crumble.
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 1: Those are the kind of things that you need to happen.
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: Either the military has become is nullified, they've influenced, and
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: the regime is notified by being wiped out by an
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: attack by Israel, or or there's now you know, there
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: are elements inside Iran right now that are strongly pushing
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: the coods. UH said they're willing to go to Tehran
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: to help militarily with the demonstrators, and there was a
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: there was some declarations signed by political parties representing minority
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: groups within Iran, which is a lot of a lot
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: of the population of minority groups who are basically, you know,
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: arguing that the regime should fall and be replaced, be replaced.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: So there is pressure building. But you need guns. The
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 1: guns can even be hired guns the United States, Israel,
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: or it could be UH, it could be military units
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: within the kids are not going to be enough. You
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: need you need Iranian military units to abandon the regime.
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: Ad you Carrott, Why is Trump so eager to use
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: military against Americans and American allies and such a coward
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: to use it against the enemies of the West. Well
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: because he you know, he a he made a campaign
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: pledge to be anti war and uh in maga's anti
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 1: war and intervention in other countries and all of that
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: he cares about because of the way he's constituted. He
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: he think about him as he's a mafia boss and
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 1: he runs the United States, and he has a certain
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 1: respect and admiration for other mafia bosses, and the other
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: mafia bosses might even be providing him with money and
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 1: providing him with other resources that help him do what
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 1: he does. So he doesn't want to piss off the
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 1: Saudis and the Kataris, which makes him weak. On Iran,
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 1: he doesn't want to piss up Putin, which makes him weak.
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 1: In Ukraine, he doesn't want to really piss off Shi,
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 1: which makes him weak. On Taiwan. He's willing to piss
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 1: off Europeans because he've used them as weak. They're not thuggish,
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 1: they're not mafia bosses that are like these liberal places.
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 1: Inside the United States, he knows who the enemy clearly is.
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 1: The enemy is the left, and he has no qualms
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 1: about going after them. So he's a coward because his
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 1: entire mentality is It's also true that domestically nobody can
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 1: stand up to him. Nobody can stand up to him,
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: and internationally there are people can stand up to him.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 1: He's worried that Iran might launch against the Kataris in
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 1: the Saudis and they'll be pissed off at him. He's
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 1: worried they might launch against the American military bases and
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 1: America will take some casualties, which he doesn't want, so
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 1: he's they can be penalties. What's going to happen in Minnesota? Nothing? No, no, no,
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: you know ICE is about Do you know that it's
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: safer to be an ICE agent than pretty much any
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 1: other law enforcement agency? Almost no ICE agents get attacked,
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: so there's all lost. The enemy is weak. He pounds
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: on weak enemies. The domestic enemy is weaker than foreign enemies,
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 1: and Venezuela is super weak, so he pounced on them. Greenland,
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 1: he knows you're going to go to a warvert, so
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: he can pounce on Greenland. Iran a little bit more complicated,
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: so he worries and't hesitated and procrastinates. Marius, I mean
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: Lay declared the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization today and
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: kicks them out. Meanwhile big Shia protests in India in
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 1: favor of youran regime. Yeah, I mean, Lay is as usual,
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 1: the good guy. And I talked about the fact that
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 1: Trump declared three chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorists,
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: but not all Muslim Brotherhood as he should. And it's
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 1: sad that in India you've got you've got Muslims supporting
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 1: you on that is a not bode well for them
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 1: or for India. More broadly, KIM is order enforcement ICE
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 1: a legitimate function of government. Would FBI police be ones
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 1: getting actual criminals out of rational society? Yeah, I mean no,
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 1: ICE does not belong in a rational society. You know,
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 1: you want some vota control, some minimal vorder controls, some
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 1: agency would have to be at the border just to
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 1: see who's coming in and you know, check to see
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 1: if if they're not terrorists to criminals and they're not
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 1: carrying infectious disease basically, but that's it. You know, in
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 1: a in a transitional world, you would have agents checking
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 1: to see if you've got your work visa or not
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 1: at the border, but you don't need In terms of
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 1: catching people in inland away from the border, that should
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 1: be one hundred percent the FBI, the police that are
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 1: doing that. It's not border patrol that is responsible for that.
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 1: Even if the people who have committed crimes are illegal immigrants,
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 1: that's still the FBI's job. The FBI's job or the
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 1: police job is to catch criminals inside out in our neighborhoods,
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 1: in our cities, you know, inside America. No, it's a
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: completely illegitimate agency the way it's functioning, uh son of
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: big Sonny is something? Did you hear of Harry Brown
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: during the ninety six to two thousand election. I hate
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 1: the Libertarian Party, but he used He used reason and
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 1: logic very well to explain what government doesn't work. Also
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 1: his book How I Found Freedom is good? Yeah, I
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 1: mean the Libertarian Party is a legitimate Ironman was very
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 1: opposed to Harry Brown. He was way too cozy with
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 1: the Mariot bods and the and the anarchist part of
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 1: the Libertarian Party. I think he was an anarchist himself.
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 1: She rejected them thoroughly, even you know she was aware
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 1: of them. In ninety six and two thousand she called
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 1: the Libertarian Party the hippies of the right, and in
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 1: my position would be the same. Yeah. I mean he
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: used good arguments. Most of the good arguments he used
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 1: he stole from Mindrand and never gave a credit, which
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 1: is true of so many of these libertarians. Gilad, what
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 1: do you think about the recent price of silver? It
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 1: is a sign of a change. Is it a sign
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 1: of this change in economic monetary system? No, I don't
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 1: think the economic monitary system is changing. I think the
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: economic monetary system will stay basically a dollar based system,
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 1: even if the dollar goes down in value quite a bit.
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 1: We're not moving to a metal based system. I wish,
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 1: but I don't think it's happening. No government is going
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 1: to give up control of its ability to print money.
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 1: And I think the price of silver is going up
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 1: because gold and silver go up when there's dramatic, significant
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 1: political instability, and I think that's what we're seeing, where
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of political uncertainty into the future, and
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 1: that's of course what we're seeing. Also economic instability, tariffs,
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 1: reduction in globalization, all of that is putting stress in
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 1: the global economy. So I think it reflects all of that.
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 1: Plus silver in particular is different than gold. There's also
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 1: a dramatic increase in demand for silver for all kinds
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 1: of tech applicationsations, so that is the increase. But I
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 1: think a lot of it is speculative, the same with gold.
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of it is speculative. It's people
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 1: being fearful about the state of the world and potential collapse.
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 1: Friend of Harp, how many new Patreon supporters have you
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 1: got this one so far? As I said, net seven,
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 1: So I got nine new ones and lost too. Nimungja,
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: what is your biggest criticism of Venue in tenielle god,
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, the biggest criticism is that he appeases evil,
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 1: that he consistently constantly for decades now has appeased evil.
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 1: He started with appeasing user offered in the nineteen nineties
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 1: when he was Prime Minister, and then appeasing Kamas and
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 1: appeasing Isabella in wars in Gaza and Lebanon in the
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 1: two thousands. Appeasing you ran over and over and over
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 1: and over again, giving the second and third and fourth
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 1: and fifth chances. That is true that he's been better
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 1: during this war. But even though during the war he divid,
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 1: he was slow. He didn't want to be as aggressive
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 1: as he ultimately became. He's a He's an appeaser. He
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 1: should have been and needed to be tougher apiece Katari's.
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 1: He facilitated the transfer funding from Kata into the Gaza strip.
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 1: He is and his governments are responsible for, you know,
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 1: October seventh, for what happened on October seventh, because they
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 1: made Hamas, they made ramass As powerful, the tunnels, all
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 1: of that was done right under their noses. They let
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 1: it happen. They should have destroyed Haramas long ago. Marius
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 1: can comment on grock nudity nude nude controversy. Yeah, I
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 1: mean we live in a Puritan society, you know, Grock
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 1: in this other AI that can do this, can you
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 1: can give them a picture of somebody and they can
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 1: undress them. But it's not like Grock knows what their
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 1: body looks like. It's extrapolating from different photographs of the
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 1: particular person, So it's not an actual nudity. So you know,
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 1: whether it's whether it's okay to do that for personal
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 1: use is one thing. Maybe it's not okay to publicize
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 1: that because then you're using that person's image in a
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 1: way that they haven't approved of. I think deep fakes
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 1: of nudity or deep fakes of porn and things like
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 1: that all bad. So yeah, I mean Grock not allowing
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 1: that feature is probably a good thing. There's nothing the
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 1: very few positive, the very few positive applications of a
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 1: feature like that, and given that you're using photos of
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 1: real people, I mean, I don't see any problem with
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 1: using AI to create a new human being, a new
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 1: designed human being. And what a lot of people do
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 1: I think with AI, but take somebody existence and then
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 1: make them nude when they don't want to be nude.
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 1: I just think is just not completely right. And if
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 1: you can, if you can make your AI not do it,
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 1: then that's probably better. It's probably better, and it probably
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 1: increased the use of your AI. If corporate taxes, this
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 1: is a jamians coporate taxes are just passed on the
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 1: onto the consumer, then why do owners and shareholders a
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 1: corporation care about, uh, you know, corporate taxes. You know,
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 1: you could argue that a small potion gets past onto shareholders,
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 1: and of course a small portion gets passed onto shareholders,
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 1: but generally again it gets it gets passed on to consubis.
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 1: It also gets passed on to employees, so employees are
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 1: paid a little bit less and customers pay a little
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 1: bit more. And the reality is shoholders don't care that
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 1: much about it, other than cutting corporate taxes makes the
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 1: economy more productive and that benefits shareholders overall. But if
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 1: you just you know, so, it doesn't affect it affects
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 1: the economy enough shareholders indirectly, not directly directly. It's a
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 1: small effect, and financial economists have shown that it's a
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 1: small effect. This is not controversial in finance or in economics. Andrew,
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 1: you know how some try to escape to scare anger
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 1: about pharmaceuticals based on the potential serious side effects companies
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 1: are forced to warn about due to legal liabilities. Serious
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 1: side effects are very rare. Yeah, on almost every drug
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 1: that is available. Serious side effects are rare. If they
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 1: weren't ray, the FDA would have never approved them, never
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 1: proved them. And indeed, there are a lot of drugs
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 1: that we don't have the choice of taking because the
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 1: FDA has chosen for us that the side effects they
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 1: claim are higher than what is good for us, and
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 1: they're not letting us make the trade off between the
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 1: upside of the drug and the downside of the side effect.
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 1: We should be making those calls, not the FDA. I
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 1: mean we with help of experts, doctors, rating agencies, you know,
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 1: recommendations whatever. Jonathan Rand's version of america Chanism is so
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 1: desperately needed these days. These days country become unrecognizable because
• 1:54:06
