- 0:03Speaker 1: A lot of them, fundamental principles of edom Act.
- 0:10Speaker 2: And the individual ONTs. This is the show. Oh right, everybody,
- 0:21Speaker 2: welcome to your one book show on this Tuesday May.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Everybody is having a good, good week, good week. It's
- 0:33Speaker 2: ready Tuesday. Groops, what happened there? I don't know what
- 0:36Speaker 2: happened there? All right, let's jump right into it. So
- 0:43Speaker 2: I have no idea what's going on with Iran negotiations
- 0:47Speaker 2: or not. Nobody does. Rumors are flying all over the place.
- 0:52Speaker 2: One thing is for sure. If there's no deal, it
- 0:56Speaker 2: will be the Jew's fault, particularly Nataniel. They're already priming it.
- 1:04Speaker 2: It's all over it's all over the internet. The Jews
- 1:09Speaker 2: are trying to do everything in their power, everything they
- 1:11Speaker 2: can to prevent the deal. So it's their fault no
- 1:15Speaker 2: matter what, you know, if if, if, if the deal fails,
- 1:20Speaker 2: if the war starts over, it's it's Nataniel's fault anyway,
- 1:28Speaker 2: you know, it's back and forth. Now, what happened yesterday
- 1:34Speaker 2: was interesting because what happened yesterday is suddenly, out of nowhere,
- 1:38Speaker 2: the United States attacks a couple of these speedboats, these
- 1:41Speaker 2: Iranian speedboats, and starts bombing along the shore. You know
- 1:47Speaker 2: in the Homo States, and according to one version of events,
- 1:52Speaker 2: this is according to the US at least uh Iran
- 1:56Speaker 2: was laying minds. Now, I don't know. I just don't
- 2:01Speaker 2: understand it. If you hot is laying minds, they have
- 2:05Speaker 2: violated the cease fire again. I mean they're violated the
- 2:09Speaker 2: ceasefire by keeping the home Moost Straits closed. That's already
- 2:12Speaker 2: a violation. But now they're laying minds. Oh no, no,
- 2:16Speaker 2: but we're still negotiating. We're still negotiating because we believe
- 2:18Speaker 2: what they say, and we'll sign a deal. And if
- 2:20Speaker 2: they sign a deal, they'll stick to it because they're
- 2:23Speaker 2: trustworthy people, and you've got to have trust in your enemy.
- 2:28Speaker 2: This is about as christian as again, love your enemy.
- 2:31Speaker 2: What the hell? If they're lay minds, that's it, no negotiation,
- 2:40Speaker 2: all out destroy them. What is the Again, they're violating
- 2:46Speaker 2: the deal that they supposedly have. So what is Trump doing?
- 2:58Speaker 2: There's no ceasefire. Iran is doing whatever the hell it wants.
- 3:02Speaker 2: It doesn't want to lob bibilistic misself, although it did
- 3:05Speaker 2: that to the UE because it's wide about US response.
- 3:10Speaker 2: But it's testing, it's potting, it's sending out boats that
- 3:15Speaker 2: put in minds and testing and potting. And this time
- 3:18Speaker 2: the US responded, who a yippie. But it also the
- 3:22Speaker 2: US also said, oh no, this response don't this is
- 3:24Speaker 2: not our response does not mean the ceasefire is over.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Talk about double speak. So the ceasefire means opening the
- 3:35Speaker 2: states of whome was, They haven't opened it. The ceasefire
- 3:38Speaker 2: means no laying of minds. They lay minds. The ceasefire
- 3:42Speaker 2: means no US attack on Iran. We do, but none
- 3:46Speaker 2: of that should interrupt having a ceasefire. Now, why did
- 3:51Speaker 2: we ever have a ceasefire. The whole point of the
- 3:55Speaker 2: cease fire was to open the Homeost Straits. We were
- 3:58Speaker 2: going to stop bombing Iran and they were going to
- 4:00Speaker 2: open the Homo Straits, and that was going to cure
- 4:02Speaker 2: the global economy. We stopped bombing and they did not
- 4:07Speaker 2: open the streets of homotes. Anyway, where we are right
- 4:16Speaker 2: now is they continue to negotiate, continue to negotiate. Earlier
- 4:24Speaker 2: today there were reports that the US had resumed you
- 4:30Speaker 2: know Operation Freedom, You remember Operation Freedom, that is escorting
- 4:34Speaker 2: ships out of the Homo Straits, and that American destroyers
- 4:41Speaker 2: were going in and helping ships come out. I was
- 4:45Speaker 2: excited as always to see the United States do something.
- 4:51Speaker 2: Within what a couple of hours maybe less, US Central
- 4:55Speaker 2: Command came out and said, deny their report completely. They're
- 4:58Speaker 2: not resuming Project Freedom. It's not assisting commercial vessels through
- 5:07Speaker 2: the streets of Hoemoes. In other words, the straits of
- 5:09Speaker 2: Homos remained closed in spite of the fact that they're
- 5:14Speaker 2: supposed to be open because of these five You know,
- 5:25Speaker 2: if you remember the goals of the war, nuclear nuclear
- 5:30Speaker 2: is not being negotiated right now. The other goal was
- 5:34Speaker 2: to destroy Euron's missile capability, not being negotiated right now
- 5:39Speaker 2: and not even mentioned as something that will be negotiated.
- 5:43Speaker 2: In other words, Iran will resume building missiles again. They're
- 5:49Speaker 2: not that hard to build and they were. You know,
- 5:52Speaker 2: they'll fix their factories. They're going to get all this
- 5:55Speaker 2: unfrozen money, unfrozen money, you know.
- 6:02Speaker 1: So uh.
- 6:08Speaker 2: So, Yeah, anyway, as far as I know, nothing's really happening.
- 6:13Speaker 2: Uh The negotiating rumors have it that JD Vance is out,
- 6:18Speaker 2: has been sidelined, A Rubio is taken over. Uh, Rubio
- 6:24Speaker 2: is going to cut a deal. Rubio is the is
- 6:27Speaker 2: the is the is the hero. Five hours ago there
- 6:33Speaker 2: was somebody said Ian in the United States have signal
- 6:37Speaker 2: they are closing it on the end an agreement. Any
- 6:39Speaker 2: minute now, any minute now. Nothing has happened. Nobody knows.
- 6:46Speaker 2: What I can tell you is these valleys are panicking
- 6:49Speaker 2: for whatever that's worth. Israel's convinced that Trump's gonna sign
- 6:54Speaker 2: a bad deal. There will do nothing about the missiles,
- 6:57Speaker 2: ballistic missiles, will do nothing about you. And support for
- 7:01Speaker 2: terrorism around the Middle Least, which was supposed to be
- 7:03Speaker 2: another one of the goals, will be nothing to make
- 7:08Speaker 2: to solve israel security problems visa of Iran. I might
- 7:12Speaker 2: do something symbolic around the nuclear program that seems to
- 7:17Speaker 2: be the one thing Trump is committed to doing, but
- 7:20Speaker 2: nothing substantive and lasting. Israel is particularly worried that the
- 7:28Speaker 2: deal that Trump cuts with Iran also freezes or hampers
- 7:34Speaker 2: Israel's ability to defend itself visa Virisbela. That's why yesterday
- 7:39Speaker 2: Israel launched an all our campaign against Grisabella. Rumors have
- 7:44Speaker 2: it that the Iranians are saying that if Israel bomb's
- 7:47Speaker 2: bey Ut, it deals off. Israel has told people in
- 7:53Speaker 2: Beirut to evacuate because it is going to bomb. And
- 7:56Speaker 2: they've also said that assassinations of leading his figures are approved,
- 8:02Speaker 2: which means by root. So Israel's trying to get as
- 8:07Speaker 2: much done quickly as it can before Trump signs a
- 8:11Speaker 2: deal that basically stops them from defending themselves. I wonder
- 8:19Speaker 2: if Trump's popularity in Israel is declined at all. It
- 8:23Speaker 2: was very very high, has been very very high since
- 8:26Speaker 2: he became president. I wonder if it's declining right now.
- 8:29Speaker 2: I guess we'll just see what the final outcome actually
- 8:34Speaker 2: actually is. It is as also heading towards an election,
- 8:38Speaker 2: and this is going to affect the election to the
- 8:39Speaker 2: extent that Trump betrays Israel or Trump does things that
- 8:47Speaker 2: Israel views as counter to his interest, israelis likely to
- 8:51Speaker 2: take that out on Anteniao. In the polls, part of
- 8:54Speaker 2: his appeal was a special relationship with Trump. If that
- 8:58Speaker 2: special relationship is not leading to victory, then what is
- 9:02Speaker 2: the point? All right, on the good news fund is
- 9:07Speaker 2: all did eliminate this morning, eliminate Hamasa's military wing chief,
- 9:14Speaker 2: Mahmad Mahmad Muhammad Mohammad Ode. He's the new Haramas military
- 9:21Speaker 2: chief because the previous one was killed last week, so
- 9:25Speaker 2: this is the new one. And he was one of
- 9:30Speaker 2: the architecture of October seventh massacre. But they're slowly eliminating
- 9:34Speaker 2: anybody associated with that massacre. Uh, and he slowly eliminating
- 9:41Speaker 2: the Ramas leadership. Of course, they've been doing this for
- 9:43Speaker 2: years and years and years. Somehow Hamas keeps finding new
- 9:47Speaker 2: people to elevate to these physicians is all maxim now.
- 9:50Speaker 2: But this is like within a week they've taken out two.
- 9:54Speaker 2: So that's good. And it's gonna be interesting to see
- 9:56Speaker 2: who they eliminate in Montchresbella leadership.
- 9:59Speaker 3: In.
- 10:01Speaker 2: In be Roots and in UH in Lebanon. Anyway, I'll
- 10:06Speaker 2: keep monitoring, keep updating you on UH on what is
- 10:11Speaker 2: going on? All right. So, one of the ways in
- 10:18Speaker 2: which Democrats are now capturing the corruption of the billionaires,
- 10:25Speaker 2: not just economic corruption but cultural corruption and uh, you know,
- 10:30Speaker 2: model corruption is this new phrase that they're using, and
- 10:35Speaker 2: you're gonna hear a lot of this. It's going to
- 10:36Speaker 2: be repeated constantly during between now and the midterm election.
- 10:43Speaker 2: And that is this idea of the Epstein class. The
- 10:46Speaker 2: Epstein class the people you know, who are rich enough
- 10:50Speaker 2: to have schmoozed and done maybe other things, some of
- 10:54Speaker 2: them might even be being illegal with which with Epstein,
- 11:02Speaker 2: with Jeffrey Epstein. Uh so this is a smear. Uh,
- 11:08Speaker 2: it's not. It's not targeted at it's specific people who
- 11:12Speaker 2: might have actually been at Epstein parties and might actually
- 11:15Speaker 2: have done things that we were not like or even
- 11:19Speaker 2: as I said, even things that are you know, illegal. No,
- 11:23Speaker 2: this is now a class, a class of people a
- 11:26Speaker 2: whole the rich. But the rich is kind of boring,
- 11:30Speaker 2: even billionaires, it's kind of boring. But the Epstein class,
- 11:34Speaker 2: who that conscious images of pedophiles, of of of of
- 11:39Speaker 2: you know, parties on islands, of not caring about Americans,
- 11:44Speaker 2: not caring about about human beings, not caring about the women,
- 11:47Speaker 2: not caring about the girls, of this detached class that
- 11:52Speaker 2: just is filled with hatred. I mean, this is this
- 11:58Speaker 2: is a term that was coined, I guess by Conna,
- 12:01Speaker 2: a Democratic lawmaker from California. This is what he says
- 12:06Speaker 2: about this. It's the sense that this is an elite
- 12:10Speaker 2: class who has been responsible for creating one of the
- 12:14Speaker 2: most lopsided and unfair economic and political systems that America
- 12:19Speaker 2: has had in its history. It's not bandied around by
- 12:25Speaker 2: politicians on the left and on the right, and even
- 12:29Speaker 2: Hollywood celebrities like Robert de Niro have talked about the
- 12:32Speaker 2: Epstein class. Conna says he came up with the idea
- 12:41Speaker 2: after waiting through the voluptuous, voluminous, not volumptious, voluminous correspondence
- 12:47Speaker 2: contained in the Department of justic files between members of
- 12:51Speaker 2: a quote arrogant, self entitled elite who thought they were
- 12:55Speaker 2: above the rest of us. He came to realizing differ
- 13:00Speaker 2: that showed. The difference they showed the Epstein's sex traffick
- 13:05Speaker 2: victims mirrored the arrogance, arrogant disregard for all ordinary Americans.
- 13:11Speaker 2: So expect to see this repeated constantly among Democrats. And
- 13:18Speaker 2: you know, the number one theme of the next few months.
- 13:21Speaker 2: The number one theme of the next few months is
- 13:24Speaker 2: going to be billionaires, billionaires, billionaires, tax the billionaires get
- 13:29Speaker 2: their money. You know, Epstein class. These are bad people.
- 13:35Speaker 2: We got to get their money. They shouldn't have as
- 13:37Speaker 2: much money. Inequality billionaires, Epstein. That is going to be
- 13:42Speaker 2: the theme. Big story in the New York Times today,
- 13:45Speaker 2: guest essay by two economists who are being how you know,
- 13:52Speaker 2: just just constantly preaching the story of inequality and whose
- 13:56Speaker 2: data has been refuted, methodology being refuted. This stuff is
- 14:00Speaker 2: bs but they're a big story in the New York
- 14:04Speaker 2: Times today titled the Case for California's Billionaire Wealth Tax.
- 14:09Speaker 2: You're going to hear a lot about California's billionaires wealth
- 14:12Speaker 2: tax and why we need it at the federal level,
- 14:15Speaker 2: and why billionaires need to be tax tax tax, tax taxed.
- 14:19Speaker 2: And you'll see graphs and numbers, but a lot of it,
- 14:27Speaker 2: a lot of it is just you know, is again distorted,
- 14:31Speaker 2: made up, perverted by their methodology and by the way
- 14:38Speaker 2: they use the data, the which taxes they count in,
- 14:41Speaker 2: which taxes they don't count. There's a big Iceberg. They
- 14:44Speaker 2: show a Mark Zuckerberg's wealth and what's taxed and what
- 14:48Speaker 2: isn't tax and again filled and misconceptions and distortions to
- 14:53Speaker 2: try to get you on their side. A typical what
- 14:55Speaker 2: the left, What the left does? You know what the
- 14:58Speaker 2: left does? Anyway, So let's look at some videos of
- 15:07Speaker 2: kind of the lefts what they're pushing and uh the
- 15:12Speaker 2: new poster boy of the left is uh Graham uh
- 15:19Speaker 2: Platner Playtna Graham Playton, Platina, Playton and Platina, who is
- 15:25Speaker 2: running for Senate against Susan Collins in Maine, likely to win.
- 15:31Speaker 2: Maine is a is ultimately a blue state. Susan Collins
- 15:34Speaker 2: has managed to somehow survive there, but he probably won't
- 15:37Speaker 2: this time. Playtna is a leftist, populist go after the
- 15:48Speaker 2: rich type guy. He's a Bonnie Sander's Democrat. This is
- 15:53Speaker 2: the wing of the Democratic Party that is right now
- 15:56Speaker 2: on the ascend. They are rising. He might have a
- 16:01Speaker 2: Nazi something. He might be stupid enough not to know
- 16:04Speaker 2: what that even meant, but he's not. There's no reason
- 16:08Speaker 2: to believe he's racist. There's every reason to believe he is,
- 16:16Speaker 2: you know, economically illiterate, a a A an egalitarian economically,
- 16:24Speaker 2: and probably an anti semi. So let's take a look.
- 16:28Speaker 2: Let's take a look at him. You can see him there,
- 16:30Speaker 2: sitting next to Bernie Sanders, who does not look well.
- 16:34Speaker 2: I mean he's older. I guess he's getting old. We're
- 16:37Speaker 2: all getting old. But Bonnie does not look well. Anyway,
- 16:46Speaker 2: let's let's play this.
- 16:49Speaker 4: No.
- 16:49Speaker 3: I think it's abject nonsense. I think that's what somebody
- 16:53Speaker 3: says their taxes go up. There's absolutely no question that
- 16:58Speaker 3: if we target the wealth where it has been hoarded,
- 17:00Speaker 3: frankly for decades.
- 17:02Speaker 2: Hoarded billionaires hold their wealth. Scooge mcdock. They have a huge,
- 17:08Speaker 2: you know, like tank and they put all their dollar
- 17:11Speaker 2: bills in the tank and they go swimming in it
- 17:13Speaker 2: and they hold it. Or they have a big hole
- 17:16Speaker 2: in their backyard and it's all hoarded in the backyard.
- 17:21Speaker 2: I mean, this is bizarre, right. Their wealth is all invested.
- 17:28Speaker 2: It's in their company stock. It's most of their wealth.
- 17:31Speaker 2: It's company stock. If the company goes down, their wealth disappears.
- 17:37Speaker 2: And you know it's if they sell the stock, somebody
- 17:43Speaker 2: else buys it, so they's stole money in the stock.
- 17:48Speaker 2: And the idea that people hold wealth is just economic illiterate, ignorance, stupidity,
- 17:54Speaker 2: well and a good sound bite because it conjures up
- 17:58Speaker 2: the image of Scooge mcdock, I mean in his gold coins.
- 18:03Speaker 2: But all these guys investing beats us as building a
- 18:06Speaker 2: space company. Most of his wealth is in Amazon, employing
- 18:12Speaker 2: hundreds of thousands of people. That's not holding, that's building, creating,
- 18:20Speaker 2: making moving America forward. Bes us. Like all the other
- 18:25Speaker 2: billionaires are invested in AI, they're investing in interesting, they're
- 18:29Speaker 2: investing in all kinds of things. And who who, who
- 18:33Speaker 2: you would ask is a better investor? Bets us a platina.
- 18:42Speaker 2: I mean, plant is so good in investing other people's money.
- 18:45Speaker 2: Why isn't he rich? Why isn't he a billionaire? And
- 18:54Speaker 2: that's who we want. Who the alternative is to be,
- 18:56Speaker 2: is us investing his own money. It's the government investing
- 18:59Speaker 2: in investing in quotation marks. It's giving it to politicians
- 19:04Speaker 2: and bureaucrats to do people who have no clue on
- 19:07Speaker 2: what to put the money in.
- 19:14Speaker 3: It's frankly for decades at this point, and we pull
- 19:17Speaker 3: it back into our system and put it into social
- 19:20Speaker 3: programs like healthcare, like childcare, like paying teachers what they are.
- 19:24Speaker 2: Worth like that, that is going to get you a
- 19:27Speaker 2: huge return on investment. I mean, the economy will boom
- 19:30Speaker 2: if you pay more welfare, if you pay teachers higher salaries.
- 19:34Speaker 2: I mean, think about it. Teachers are producing a lowsy product,
- 19:40Speaker 2: I mean a really losy product. Have you seen test
- 19:43Speaker 2: scores in American schools lately? And a declining product, the
- 19:48Speaker 2: product that's getting worse every year. We should reward them,
- 19:52Speaker 2: give them more money, Give them more money because they've
- 19:55Speaker 2: been doing They work so hard and they've been doing
- 19:57Speaker 2: such a good job. Give them more money. That's right.
- 20:01Speaker 2: We should, we should, We should rewarding competence.
- 20:10Speaker 3: It's what they are worth. We will absolutely improve the
- 20:14Speaker 3: lives of working Americans.
- 20:15Speaker 2: I mean, if you actually paid teachers what they were worth,
- 20:18Speaker 2: it would be I mean a lot of teachers, not
- 20:20Speaker 2: all teachers, Some teachers are good, but most teachers, given
- 20:22Speaker 2: the test scores and given you would pay them a
- 20:25Speaker 2: lot less than what they're getting. Sorry, but that's the reality.
- 20:29Speaker 3: Improve the lives of working Americans and quite frankly, improve
- 20:32Speaker 3: our society as a whole.
- 20:33Speaker 2: Wait a minute, Wait a minute, I need to think
- 20:35Speaker 2: about this in a second, working Americans. Where would working
- 20:39Speaker 2: Americans work if you got rid of billionaires? Who would
- 20:46Speaker 2: be building the businesses, who would be creating the jobs? Where? Where? Almighty?
- 20:53Speaker 2: Where do jobs come from? Where did jobs come from?
- 20:58Speaker 2: They come from entrepreneurs who build businesses. And if they're successful,
- 21:03Speaker 2: the business is go and they employ more people, and
- 21:05Speaker 2: they go even more and they employ even more people,
- 21:07Speaker 2: and then the billion is and they're employing a lot
- 21:09Speaker 2: of people. But I have to take that money away,
- 21:12Speaker 2: and you eliminate entrepreneurship, and you prevent them from growing
- 21:17Speaker 2: their businesses. Where is the money going to go? Where
- 21:24Speaker 2: working class people? Where's the worker going to come from?
- 21:28Speaker 2: I mean working class people work for Zus? What's the alternative?
- 21:35Speaker 2: I know they think they think it's workers who create
- 21:40Speaker 2: the business. They think Bezus is just a leech. The
- 21:44Speaker 2: Zus did nothing. But Zus created those jobs. Without visas,
- 21:49Speaker 2: without his investment, his quote holding, there would be no jobs.
- 21:59Speaker 2: I mean of education these people need to go through.
- 22:02Speaker 2: It's it's it's it's gonna be tough, guys. It's going
- 22:05Speaker 2: to be really, really difficult to change the world, given
- 22:08Speaker 2: how pathetically stupid the ideas that these people hold.
- 22:13Speaker 3: Up asciety as a whole, it's I think what he
- 22:16Speaker 3: is pitching is propaganda. It's meant to protect himself and
- 22:20Speaker 3: protect his crowny friends, and uh, we're going to come
- 22:23Speaker 3: after them for it.
- 22:26Speaker 2: That's the message. We're coming after you. If you're successful
- 22:29Speaker 2: in America, if you made a lot of money, if
- 22:31Speaker 2: you employ a lot of people, and particularly if you
- 22:34Speaker 2: stand up and try to defend yourself, we are coming
- 22:37Speaker 2: after you. That is the message of our democratic friends.
- 22:43Speaker 2: You know, you got Trump on one side and the
- 22:47Speaker 2: stupid Republicans, and we've got this on the other side.
- 22:53Speaker 2: All right, let's uh, let's see this one. I can't
- 22:55Speaker 2: get it to pause, So I apologize for the noise.
- 22:59Speaker 2: This is going to create.
- 23:05Speaker 3: People where they are dining with you. I believe that
- 23:09Speaker 3: in our country, the voices.
- 23:11Speaker 2: Of working people, working people are.
- 23:13Speaker 3: Far more important than the voices of those who merely
- 23:17Speaker 3: have money. I believe that settling for scraps that they
- 23:23Speaker 3: throw to us, settling for scraps that they throw to up.
- 23:28Speaker 2: Oh now now now they pause works. But meley have money,
- 23:32Speaker 2: not money they created, not money that by creating it
- 23:37Speaker 2: they made the jobs of these working class people possible. No,
- 23:41Speaker 2: they melly had money. Some other money showed up in
- 23:43Speaker 2: their pockets, in their bank accounts, in them you know pools.
- 23:47Speaker 2: Though whatever it is that they imagine that the money
- 23:50Speaker 2: is being hoarded in the money just showed up. Merely
- 23:56Speaker 2: have money. Notice the woods that these people use, and
- 24:01Speaker 2: the kind of world that they assume exists out there,
- 24:04Speaker 2: and the kind of irrespect that they have to the
- 24:07Speaker 2: productive activities of individuals. Melody have money I believe.
- 24:13Speaker 3: That we should not be settling for scraps that they
- 24:17Speaker 3: throw to us from the table where they are dining
- 24:20Speaker 3: with the Epstein class.
- 24:22Speaker 2: Maybe it is the Epstein class. You hear it a lot,
- 24:25Speaker 2: You're gonna hear it a lot. I'm looking for their
- 24:29Speaker 2: audience loves it. They love the Epstein class. That's why
- 24:32Speaker 2: you hear it a lot.
- 24:33Speaker 3: I don't think that a CEO should have more power
- 24:37Speaker 3: than a union member. I don't think that private equity
- 24:42Speaker 3: deserves more time with the United States senator than someone
- 24:45Speaker 3: who works two jobs for a living.
- 24:48Speaker 2: I agree. I don't think any of them should have
- 24:51Speaker 2: any time with a US senator because I don't want
- 24:54Speaker 2: the US senator to have any power over the economy,
- 24:56Speaker 2: because most US senator is about as dumb as this guy,
- 25:00Speaker 2: and I don't want them to have any power over
- 25:03Speaker 2: the US economy. So yes, please stop giving them time.
- 25:08Speaker 2: I don't want the union guy to have power. I
- 25:10Speaker 2: don't want the CEO to have power. I don't want
- 25:12Speaker 2: private equity to have power. I don't want work as
- 25:15Speaker 2: to that power political power. They should all go back
- 25:20Speaker 2: and work, and we should separate economics from politics, separate
- 25:28Speaker 2: the political class from having any economic power. The only
- 25:34Speaker 2: way we get rid of cronyism of all kinds.
- 25:39Speaker 3: I believe that.
- 25:40Speaker 2: Right, that was one more. Now we got Bernie, we
- 25:43Speaker 2: got the original. We're going to the We're going to
- 25:46Speaker 2: to the original guy. And uh yeah, this is uh
- 25:58Speaker 2: five percent wealth tax billionaires, five percent wealth tax on billionaires.
- 26:03Speaker 2: Uh this is uh his uh his case for that.
- 26:09Speaker 4: My opponents, of which there are many, claim that this
- 26:14Speaker 4: legislation is putative and confiscate. All we're just picking on
- 26:18Speaker 4: these poor billionaires. I mean, my god, how cruel can
- 26:23Speaker 4: you be?
- 26:24Speaker 2: Yeah, notice that they ridicule. And it's true if if
- 26:28Speaker 2: your only criticisms you're picking in billionaires. You know it's confiscatory. No,
- 26:35Speaker 2: it's immoral because it's their money and they're using that
- 26:41Speaker 2: money to create wealth. And then wealth is where we
- 26:44Speaker 2: get jobs from. The wealth is where we get economic
- 26:47Speaker 2: activity from. That wealth is where GDP comes from. And
- 26:53Speaker 2: it's theirs. They have a way to it. Who are
- 26:55Speaker 2: you to just take it?
- 27:02Speaker 4: But I want you to hear this. This shows you
- 27:04Speaker 4: how crazy the economy is today. If that bill were
- 27:07Speaker 4: in effect this year, Elon Musk would pay thirty nine
- 27:11Speaker 4: billion more.
- 27:12Speaker 2: In Texas thirty nine billion more in Texas thirty nine billion.
- 27:21Speaker 4: By what here's the punchline. This confiscatory, terrible, drastic, radical
- 27:27Speaker 4: piece of legislation would leave Musk with just seven hundred
- 27:31Speaker 4: and thirty seven billion dollars left to subuddance. Now, I
- 27:35Speaker 4: know you're worried about him, But what do you think
- 27:38Speaker 4: you could make it on seven hundred and thirty seven billion?
- 27:41Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 27:41Speaker 2: Maybe? And you see why this is effective. You see
- 27:45Speaker 2: why people respond to this. You see what you got
- 27:48Speaker 2: seven and forty four billion dollars. You know what is
- 27:51Speaker 2: he eat next to thirty something? You know we can
- 27:55Speaker 2: use that. We can feed some families with that. Now
- 27:58Speaker 2: we'll do it every year. You know is well who
- 28:01Speaker 2: declined And of course he won't have that thirty something
- 28:04Speaker 2: billion to actually invest and create more jobs and create
- 28:08Speaker 2: more economic vowthe But we don't really want that. We
- 28:11Speaker 2: just want to feed. We just want to provide it
- 28:14Speaker 2: to social problems. We want to redistribute it. We want
- 28:17Speaker 2: to help the poor. And if you have helping the
- 28:22Speaker 2: poor is one side, and you have billionaires worth hundreds
- 28:28Speaker 2: of billions of dollars, who do you think is going
- 28:30Speaker 2: to win that one? Who are the voters going to
- 28:33Speaker 2: go with. I mean, sacrifice a few billionaires and not
- 28:40Speaker 2: even sacrifice them, just penny pins them a little bit,
- 28:43Speaker 2: reduce the number of billions they have, just a little
- 28:45Speaker 2: bit to help the poor. I mean, this is a
- 28:48Speaker 2: slam dunk for the Democrats. It's a slam dunk. Who's
- 28:58Speaker 2: going to argue against this? Who's going to not vote
- 29:02Speaker 2: for this? This is the most Christian thing you can do,
- 29:07Speaker 2: because it's the most altruistic thing you can do. Well.
- 29:09Speaker 2: I mean, you could text all of their wealth just
- 29:11Speaker 2: five percent. God, that is a little bit. But this
- 29:16Speaker 2: is where we're heading, because this is a winning strategy
- 29:18Speaker 2: for the Democrats.
- 29:20Speaker 6: Yeah, Jeff Bezels with all about fourteen billion more in taxes,
- 29:29Speaker 6: but he would still have two hundred and sixty five
- 29:31Speaker 6: billion to put a roof over his home.
- 29:37Speaker 2: They laugh. You know, we get to decide how much
- 29:40Speaker 2: is enough for you, and we'll take the access to
- 29:43Speaker 2: do what we think needs to be done for the
- 29:46Speaker 2: common good, for the public interest, for the world out there.
- 29:56Speaker 2: You know, and you know they're gonna go after them.
- 29:59Speaker 2: You're gonna go after them in California, the billionaire They're
- 30:01Speaker 2: gonna go after them in Washington, they're gonna go after them.
- 30:04Speaker 2: In New York, they're gonna go after them at the
- 30:06Speaker 2: federal level. And billionaires will leave. But federal level where
- 30:11Speaker 2: you're gonna go, way, you're gonna escape too. I don't
- 30:16Speaker 2: know if the wealth tax will apply to Puerto Ricans.
- 30:18Speaker 2: Maybe they can come here. Maybe this is the next
- 30:22Speaker 2: next big thing is to come to California, where the
- 30:24Speaker 2: wealth tax will not apply. But you know, this is
- 30:31Speaker 2: a supposedly an easy way to make money, to bring
- 30:35Speaker 2: money in. People say a wealth tax caused billionaires to leave.
- 30:39Speaker 2: No way, Yeah, but that was no way. How many
- 30:42Speaker 2: billionaires can leave the United States? No, they will raise
- 30:45Speaker 2: money from this. They will hood the economy and and
- 30:53Speaker 2: and and cause real problems. But yeah, they will. They
- 30:56Speaker 2: will raise money. Yeah, some billionaires can go to the UE.
- 31:03Speaker 2: But the reality is that Americans attacked on their worldwide income.
- 31:08Speaker 2: So even if you live in the UIE, the United
- 31:10Speaker 2: States government still taxes you. So there's no way you
- 31:17Speaker 2: can go unless you give up your American citizenship. That
- 31:20Speaker 2: could be that some billionaires will give up their American citizenship,
- 31:23Speaker 2: but all of them and still run businesses in the US. No,
- 31:27Speaker 2: they're not going to so the United States, if you
- 31:31Speaker 2: have a federal level wealth tax, there only so many
- 31:35Speaker 2: billionaires who can leave. They will raise money. This is
- 31:39Speaker 2: the reality. And the Wall tax is such that even
- 31:50Speaker 2: if they stop working, they'll still pay it because it's
- 31:55Speaker 2: not their wealth, it's not in their income. It's a
- 31:59Speaker 2: really vicious tax which will raise money. And this is
- 32:03Speaker 2: why it's so appealing. The Democrats and maybe some Republicans.
- 32:08Speaker 2: I'm sure Josh Hally jd Vance would love a billion
- 32:11Speaker 2: are tacks. I mean, after all, we're in a debt
- 32:16Speaker 2: trap where where you know, the dollar is going to
- 32:18Speaker 2: go to hell, and we have to we have to
- 32:22Speaker 2: pay all those middle class benefits, so security and Medicare,
- 32:24Speaker 2: and where are we going to get the money. Well,
- 32:25Speaker 2: billionaires have a lot of money, and a simple simple tax,
- 32:29Speaker 2: like a five percent, well tax, it's not gonna cost
- 32:33Speaker 2: them that much from their perspective, and think of all
- 32:36Speaker 2: the beautiful things the government can do with that money.
- 32:40Speaker 2: It is it is scary. It is scary. The immorality
- 32:44Speaker 2: of it, the economic ignorance of it, the violation of
- 32:51Speaker 2: you know, the very nature of what it means to
- 32:53Speaker 2: be America of it is really horrific, all right, But
- 32:59Speaker 2: you know that's just one of the many plans Democratic
- 33:02Speaker 2: friends have entailed for us. Mum, Donnie is going full
- 33:07Speaker 2: on in New York City and is insistent on solving
- 33:12Speaker 2: the rent problem in New York City. He is going
- 33:15Speaker 2: to lower rents. You know, he's definitely gonna do this
- 33:21Speaker 2: and the rent controllers. Of course, the solution it's worked
- 33:24Speaker 2: so well in every other place that's been tried, but
- 33:28Speaker 2: it sounds really good. Here's here's from Donnie. Here's from
- 33:32Speaker 2: Donny about you know, uh, you know, solving the affordability
- 33:38Speaker 2: so called the full ability crisis and the ability of
- 33:41Speaker 2: politicians to actually get stuff done.
- 33:44Speaker 7: You talk about freezing rent, is that something freezing as
- 33:48Speaker 7: a bold new thing or, as you've also mentioned, something
- 33:52Speaker 7: that the mayor is the power to do the past.
- 33:54Speaker 2: Administrations have done.
- 33:55Speaker 8: I think it's it's a mixture and that this clearly
- 33:57Speaker 8: has precedent. We saw the previous administration.
- 33:59Speaker 2: To this times. How's that gone.
- 34:01Speaker 9: We are living in.
- 34:02Speaker 8: A time of politics where politicians try to convince the
- 34:04Speaker 8: public that there's nothing they can do, and so to
- 34:07Speaker 8: even have the idea that we could actually help people,
- 34:09Speaker 8: it's seen as a departure from what so many are
- 34:11Speaker 8: being told in this moment and freezing the rent right.
- 34:14Speaker 8: This is about two and a half million New Yorkers
- 34:16Speaker 8: in a city of eight and a half million. The
- 34:18Speaker 8: mayor has the power to freeze their rent.
- 34:21Speaker 2: I don't know how the mayor has that power. I
- 34:24Speaker 2: have to admit it seems unconstitutional to me. It seems
- 34:28Speaker 2: like a you know, a such a seizure right, the
- 34:33Speaker 2: seizing property. So I don't know how you have the
- 34:36Speaker 2: constitutional part of freeze rent. There has to be somebody
- 34:39Speaker 2: needs to challenge the constitutionality of this under some law
- 34:44Speaker 2: you know, I don't know. But what do we know
- 34:48Speaker 2: when rent control is imposed, When rent's are freezed, rents
- 34:52Speaker 2: go up elsewhere? And what happens that apartments who's rents
- 34:57Speaker 2: a freeze frozen for two and a half million, well
- 35:00Speaker 2: maintenance and taking care of those apartments plummets, I mean,
- 35:04Speaker 2: landloads can't afford to invest in those apartments. We also
- 35:09Speaker 2: know that would me lay did away within control in
- 35:12Speaker 2: buonos aires, rents dropped by more than forty percent, So
- 35:19Speaker 2: we know exactly what works, and yet these people continue
- 35:22Speaker 2: to try to tell us that the solution is price
- 35:25Speaker 2: controls when price controls never have worked, but it makes
- 35:30Speaker 2: them seem like they're doing something. Now, Momdoniosa plans to
- 35:38Speaker 2: build two hundred thousand new affordable rents, stabilizing homes, whatever
- 35:41Speaker 2: the hell that means. So let's listen to what he
- 35:46Speaker 2: also plans to do.
- 35:49Speaker 9: If the absence of good government created the conditions we
- 35:52Speaker 9: now face.
- 35:53Speaker 2: Really, is that the problem? No, yeah, it's it's the
- 35:56Speaker 2: it's the existence of bad government, and you're doubling up
- 36:00Speaker 2: in the policies. The problems we face in New York
- 36:03Speaker 2: is rent control. So can to double up on the
- 36:08Speaker 2: win control fascinating.
- 36:10Speaker 9: Created the conditions we now face. The presence of good
- 36:14Speaker 9: government can build the solutions we now need. I am
- 36:17Speaker 9: proud to announce that New York City will propose, pursue,
- 36:22Speaker 9: and deliver solutions to this crisis through our historic housing Plan,
- 36:27Speaker 9: block by block, a plan that matches not only our
- 36:30Speaker 9: city size, but the scale of our city's ambition.
- 36:33Speaker 2: If the abs So that was not this segment of
- 36:40Speaker 2: the speech I wanted, but anyway that I'll have to
- 36:44Speaker 2: do what he's proposing and what he explicitly says, not
- 36:52Speaker 2: in this one, but in the other talk is what
- 36:56Speaker 2: they're going to do is they want to construc TIW
- 36:59Speaker 2: hundred thousand affordable homes over the next ten years. All
- 37:02Speaker 2: you have to you know, I don't know who is
- 37:04Speaker 2: they and how are they going to make it possible.
- 37:07Speaker 2: All they have to do is lift the regulations in
- 37:08Speaker 2: the private sector will build those homes. But what he
- 37:12Speaker 2: actually does, you know when he says block by block,
- 37:16Speaker 2: what does he mean? What does he intend to do?
- 37:21Speaker 2: Let me just find this quote, all right. What he
- 37:34Speaker 2: said in the other clip that I don't have is
- 37:38Speaker 2: that they are going to identify buildings where the landlord
- 37:46Speaker 2: is neglecting the building with the landload, is mistreating his tenants,
- 37:54Speaker 2: and they are going to quote transfer ownership of those
- 37:59Speaker 2: buildings to nonprofits, to community whatever. In other words, they're
- 38:07Speaker 2: going to steal private property. Now, luckily we live in
- 38:11Speaker 2: a world where the constitution with regards to some private
- 38:15Speaker 2: property is still respected, and he probably cannot do this,
- 38:20Speaker 2: cannot do it. But he wants to basically confiscate private
- 38:32Speaker 2: property where he thinks, where he thinks that it's been
- 38:38Speaker 2: quote mismanaged, where the standard is the well being of
- 38:42Speaker 2: the tenants, and move it to This is to nonprofits.
- 38:47Speaker 2: I don't think he can do the government. But this
- 38:49Speaker 2: is a way fame to nationalize, right the building stock. Now,
- 38:59Speaker 2: imagine if you're developing New York and Mambney wants you
- 39:03Speaker 2: to build two hundred thousand affordable homes, and you know
- 39:06Speaker 2: there's gonna be rent control, and you know that if
- 39:11Speaker 2: you haven't controlled and then you don't fix the buildings,
- 39:14Speaker 2: they're just gonna take them from you. What are the
- 39:17Speaker 2: chances you're actually going to build those buildings? What incentive
- 39:23Speaker 2: does this provide? So you're seeing a you know, the
- 39:32Speaker 2: democratic program. We're going to pour resources into helping the
- 39:37Speaker 2: poor by basically eradicating property right protections. And we're going
- 39:44Speaker 2: to do it by taxing billionaires, by taking their wealth,
- 39:48Speaker 2: by demonizing them, taking their wealth and redistributing it. That's
- 39:55Speaker 2: the democratic agenda. The beneficiaries are going to be the
- 40:04Speaker 2: post of the poor and the bunch of middlemen who
- 40:06Speaker 2: will make money off of this, I'm sure, And the
- 40:11Speaker 2: victims will be everybody in the middle the billionaires on down,
- 40:16Speaker 2: because all of us will suffer. Our apartments will not
- 40:20Speaker 2: be maintained, our rents will go up, we won't be
- 40:24Speaker 2: able to afford at home, there won't be any jobs
- 40:28Speaker 2: because the investment capital will dry up, but the redistribution
- 40:33Speaker 2: machine will chuck forward and work. That is what we
- 40:37Speaker 2: have installed for us, because that is where you know
- 40:41Speaker 2: this political party is moving us. And I don't see
- 40:50Speaker 2: how they don't win given the performance of the Trump administration.
- 40:56Speaker 2: I don't see how they don't win, given that, I
- 40:59Speaker 2: think they've got the kind of messaging that a populist
- 41:02Speaker 2: public right and left is not going to jump on
- 41:17Speaker 2: our in house leftists says no. Yeah, So we'll say
- 41:26Speaker 2: whether New York. I think New York will survived, mum, donnie.
- 41:29Speaker 2: But will America survive a Democratic party that is led
- 41:36Speaker 2: by Bernie Sanders clone and a Republican party led by
- 41:41Speaker 2: a Donald Trump clone? That I have no idea how
- 41:45Speaker 2: the United States survives that combination. I just don't see it.
- 41:52Speaker 3: All right.
- 41:53Speaker 2: One of the things that are really astounding out there,
- 41:58Speaker 2: and you saw this last week. We talked about this
- 42:01Speaker 2: with the new immigration regulation. The new immigration regulation that requires, uh,
- 42:06Speaker 2: if you want to convert an H one, B or
- 42:08Speaker 2: one into a green card, you have to leave the
- 42:11Speaker 2: country first, leave the country first, which means that many
- 42:17Speaker 2: of those people will never become American citizens. Many of
- 42:19Speaker 2: those people will never get Green cards, and many those
- 42:22Speaker 2: jobs will not exist. They will base they were basically
- 42:26Speaker 2: kicking out. We're basically kicking out the most productive immigrants
- 42:32Speaker 2: we have, and immigrants who are creating the next generation
- 42:37Speaker 2: in businesses, immigrants that are building the next generation of
- 42:42Speaker 2: unicorn tech companies. We're basically telling and don't come. We
- 42:46Speaker 2: don't want you. And in particular, in particular, you're getting
- 42:52Speaker 2: this from four Indians. It's particularly targeted at Indians from India.
- 43:02Speaker 2: I mean, here's a tweet from a This guy is
- 43:05Speaker 2: a research fellow at the Artificial Intelligence Institute that's at
- 43:11Speaker 2: the Harvard Business School and at the Burning Glass Institute.
- 43:17Speaker 2: He is a leading artificial intelligence researcher and the economy
- 43:22Speaker 2: and applying it to into economics. You know, I don't
- 43:24Speaker 2: know how good his work is, but clearly a smart
- 43:27Speaker 2: guy who's named Sumitra Shukla. And this is what he
- 43:33Speaker 2: wrote today. The amount of anti Indian hates on this
- 43:38Speaker 2: platform is truly sickening. People need to stop worrying about
- 43:42Speaker 2: jobs being stolen and look deeper within as to why
- 43:46Speaker 2: they have such rotten souls to wish the worst on others,
- 43:51Speaker 2: to wish the worst on others, the amount of vitual
- 43:59Speaker 2: he got a nap post. The fuck are you getting
- 44:05Speaker 2: on about? Oh, we undercut your wages and to do
- 44:09Speaker 2: the jobs, the really shitty ability and fuck it all
- 44:13Speaker 2: up and weasel our way into hiring positions and I
- 44:16Speaker 2: only our own, But you dare get mad about it?
- 44:22Speaker 2: Get the fuck out of my country. I've seen your
- 44:26Speaker 2: kind in action, your kind being Indian, and I must
- 44:30Speaker 2: say I'm less than impressed. Also, it is rotten. Is
- 44:33Speaker 2: it rotten to wish for them to stay in their
- 44:35Speaker 2: own country?
- 44:37Speaker 4: Ye?
- 44:38Speaker 2: Geez, that's wishing the worst on them and just unbelievably stupid.
- 44:51Speaker 2: This is Elia Suman on this whole phenomena. I'm not
- 44:55Speaker 2: the first person to notice this, but amazing how much
- 44:58Speaker 2: anti Indian hate there is on this site, typified by
- 45:02Speaker 2: claims they are somehow monopolizing the tech industry, discriminating against whites, etc.
- 45:09Speaker 2: It's very similar to traditional antisemitic tropes and it's equally baseless.
- 45:14Speaker 2: I have dealt extensively with Indians and academia and some
- 45:17Speaker 2: in tech. My parents are both tech industry veterans, and
- 45:21Speaker 2: there is no real evidence to support these claims. They
- 45:25Speaker 2: like traditional anti Semitism, are also based on a flawed
- 45:28Speaker 2: zero some view of the economy that underlies a lot
- 45:31Speaker 2: of ethno nationalism and bigotry, as well as a lot
- 45:35Speaker 2: of awful left wing ideology. Yeah, I mean, and then
- 45:46Speaker 2: if you look, if you look at the number of
- 45:50Speaker 2: Indians who run major American corporations. Right, here's just a list,
- 45:57Speaker 2: a CEO of Microsoft, of Alphabet, Google, of Adobe, of IBM,
- 46:04Speaker 2: a FedEx, Palo Alta Ventures, of YouTube, of Micron Semiconductors,
- 46:11Speaker 2: of net App, of Arista, all all Indians. And that's
- 46:20Speaker 2: that's just a beginning, because actually you can flesh this
- 46:25Speaker 2: out and you'll get even more than that, right Honeywell
- 46:31Speaker 2: and Flex, and I'm looking at other companies T Mobile,
- 46:36Speaker 2: and I mean there's a lot of them Indians running
- 46:40Speaker 2: American businesses. What's the excuse. Here's the explanation. It's statistically
- 46:47Speaker 2: impossible for Indians to hold this many COEO positions in America.
- 46:50Speaker 2: They shared superpower, hiring an endless army of h one
- 46:54Speaker 2: b visa indians, outsourcing to India, and firing American citizens.
- 47:01Speaker 2: I mean, the conspiratorial nature of these things is so
- 47:05Speaker 2: bizarre and crazy. Microsoft really is firing American citizens left
- 47:12Speaker 2: and right, and it's all Indians and Microsoft employees. Nobody
- 47:18Speaker 2: in America IBM, and an American can't hire h one
- 47:25Speaker 2: b visa Indians, and an American can't outsource to India,
- 47:30Speaker 2: only Indians can do it. It Really, the hatred here
- 47:36Speaker 2: is truly sickening, and you can see it in Vivic's campaign.
- 47:44Speaker 2: Vivica is running for governor of Ohio and he is
- 47:48Speaker 2: the Republican candidate. He won the primary, but there was
- 47:52Speaker 2: a significant opposition, opposition from those Republicans who cannot tolerate
- 47:57Speaker 2: the idea of an Indian being the govern of Ohio
- 48:03Speaker 2: and he's going to run against a Democrat. Ohio is
- 48:07Speaker 2: a dark red state. He should be a shoeing as
- 48:14Speaker 2: a Republican candidate, but there are many Republicans who will
- 48:20Speaker 2: not come out and vote for him. And most polls
- 48:25Speaker 2: are showing a slight Democratic lead. That is, they would
- 48:31Speaker 2: rather Democrat be governor of their state. There's somebody who
- 48:37Speaker 2: they agree with mostly on the issues, but who looks
- 48:42Speaker 2: and has the heritage of an Indian. I mean, I
- 48:53Speaker 2: wouldn't vote against Vivic for governor of Ohio. I think
- 48:56Speaker 2: he has done really really well in the last few
- 49:01Speaker 2: months in terms of his positioning is you know, I
- 49:07Speaker 2: think he truly is a free market kind of guy.
- 49:11Speaker 2: And I think a lot of his really really really
- 49:14Speaker 2: dumb ideas were him catering to the populists to try
- 49:20Speaker 2: to out Maga Trump, And I think he's he doesn't
- 49:26Speaker 2: need that. He's discovered, or at least I hope he doesn't,
- 49:29Speaker 2: And I don't think that's really who he is. I
- 49:30Speaker 2: think he's better than that. But I've shown you some
- 49:35Speaker 2: videos of Vivic really standing up to Maga in an
- 49:38Speaker 2: impressive way, pressive way. Yeah, I would one hundred percent
- 49:48Speaker 2: vote for Vivic over what the alternative is right now
- 49:52Speaker 2: for governor, you know, president, he'd have to run the
- 49:55Speaker 2: campaign and see what he says. All right, this is
- 50:04Speaker 2: a funny one. So The New York Times reviewed over
- 50:09Speaker 2: a dozen hours of cabinet meeting footage of the cabinet
- 50:15Speaker 2: Trump's cabinet to analyze how his administration spoke to him.
- 50:21Speaker 2: On average, one in every six sentences was either aimed
- 50:28Speaker 2: at flattering Trump, give him credit, or criticize his political opponents.
- 50:35Speaker 2: So in cabinet meetings, one sixth of the time, A
- 50:40Speaker 2: significant portion of the time is spent on flattery. Now,
- 50:46Speaker 2: some it's much worse than that. For example, Marco Rubio
- 50:53Speaker 2: and John Radcliffe, the CIA director, basically most of what
- 50:59Speaker 2: they say is packed with praise of Donald Trump. JD.
- 51:05Speaker 2: Vance spends most of his time attacking Democrats. I guess
- 51:11Speaker 2: that's how they're trying to position themselves differently in an
- 51:15Speaker 2: attempt to win the election. In twenty twenty eight, Hexaith
- 51:25Speaker 2: gives him, give Trump's a lot of credit and flatters him.
- 51:29Speaker 2: He wills to spends quite a lot of time in
- 51:30Speaker 2: criticizing opponents. Michaela doesn't spend a lot of time on opponents,
- 51:36Speaker 2: you know. Doug Bergram spends a lot of time on opponents,
- 51:40Speaker 2: but also a lot of time on flattery, a lot
- 51:42Speaker 2: of time on flattery. Kennedy talks a lot. That's the
- 51:47Speaker 2: one thing you can conclude by looking at Kennedy. But yeah,
- 51:53Speaker 2: the percentage of flattery for some of these guys is
- 51:56Speaker 2: pretty in pressive. Dean Duffy, the transportation guy, not a
- 51:59Speaker 2: lot of time I'm on flattery. Good for Dean, so interesting.
- 52:07Speaker 2: One sixth of all communications is either flattery, attacking Democrats
- 52:14Speaker 2: or giving Trump credit for I don't know, wondrous things
- 52:17Speaker 2: that he's doing. It's a pretty it's a pretty funny analysis.
- 52:23Speaker 1: Pretty funny analysis. Let's see, all.
- 52:36Speaker 2: Right, finally our new segment on human achievements, Human achievements,
- 52:43Speaker 2: and let's see we got some different ones today, well
- 52:48Speaker 2: not all of them different, but but yeah, four different
- 52:51Speaker 2: achievements today, three in one video. And the first one
- 52:57Speaker 2: is there's a big audic call again the New York
- 52:59Speaker 2: Times a few days ago on Underhill Undurill, which is
- 53:05Speaker 2: this startup that Poma Lucky started. Andreld just raised five
- 53:10Speaker 2: billion dollars. The company is really pushing the American military
- 53:17Speaker 2: to modernize. It is a startup which makes AI backed weapons.
- 53:26Speaker 2: It is a brand new, relatively new company with evaluation
- 53:30Speaker 2: now sixty one billion dollars. It's drone technology is being
- 53:35Speaker 2: used right now in and tested right now in Ukraine,
- 53:41Speaker 2: and it is building some of the most exciting weapons
- 53:44Speaker 2: systems that I think the Pentagon has in the pipeline anywhere,
- 53:49Speaker 2: from submarine drones over the water, drones, flying drones all
- 53:57Speaker 2: guided by AI, you know all you know. They're also
- 54:04Speaker 2: creating surveillance software that I'm less excited about. But the
- 54:10Speaker 2: company has began testing AI drones on the battlefield in Ukraine.
- 54:14Speaker 2: It's working with Ukrainian companies to develop some of the
- 54:18Speaker 2: drone technology there. In March, they signed a ten year,
- 54:22Speaker 2: twenty billion dollar deal with the Army for its software
- 54:26Speaker 2: and AI backed weapons. That same one month, the company
- 54:30Speaker 2: announced that it was part of a consortium of companies
- 54:33Speaker 2: building one hundred and eighty five billion dollars space interceptor
- 54:37Speaker 2: missile system for the US government. So this is part
- 54:39Speaker 2: of Golden Dome. So this is exciting because this is
- 54:44Speaker 2: actual technology startup AI high tech tech being applied to
- 54:54Speaker 2: national security and defense, to the Pentagon. This is the
- 54:57Speaker 2: kind of stuff that I think makes the United States.
- 55:00Speaker 2: It's the strongest military in the world. It has a
- 55:03Speaker 2: private sector, it has access to entrepreneurs into innovation and competition.
- 55:10Speaker 2: And Pama Lucky is a young guy. You know, I
- 55:14Speaker 2: don't know, he might still be in his twenties, and
- 55:19Speaker 2: which is pretty amazing, right, pretty amazing that a young
- 55:24Speaker 2: guy like this in America can start a sixty one
- 55:28Speaker 2: billion dollar company. They just opened a one billion dollar
- 55:33Speaker 2: factory in Ohio to speed the production of its weapons systems.
- 55:39Speaker 2: There is a company creating jobs, creating value, self defense value.
- 55:46Speaker 2: And Pama Lucky is one of those billionaires that Bernie
- 55:50Speaker 2: Sanders would love to take all this money he's holding.
- 55:58Speaker 2: There's one kind of startup. I want to talk a
- 56:00Speaker 2: little bit about another kind of startup, and this is
- 56:03Speaker 2: a This is a company that was started about ten
- 56:08Speaker 2: years ago but is really really kicking in right now.
- 56:15Speaker 2: It's a school system. It's called Alpha School. Alpha School
- 56:24Speaker 2: off of school is an educational system that is based
- 56:28Speaker 2: on kids coming to school, but where the primary teachers
- 56:34Speaker 2: are AI. Students complete all their school work each morning
- 56:42Speaker 2: using AI powered apps and they do that in two hours.
- 56:49Speaker 2: The afternoons are all for life skills at workshops on
- 56:55Speaker 2: public speaking, entrepreneurship, product design. These schools are all private.
- 57:06Speaker 2: The first campus of the Office Schools was built in Austin, Texas.
- 57:12Speaker 2: Now they operate about twenty two locations nationwide. They recently
- 57:20Speaker 2: opened a campus in San Francisco. They have thirty students
- 57:23Speaker 2: their mixed age groups six to fourteen. Because they each
- 57:27Speaker 2: have an individualized teacher an AI program. The platform they
- 57:34Speaker 2: will in is called time Back, which teaches the same
- 57:39Speaker 2: content as the US Common co Curriculum but instead of
- 57:43Speaker 2: a teacher lecturing to thirty plus kids, an algorithm assesses
- 57:47Speaker 2: what each student knows, identifies their gaps, and builds a
- 57:51Speaker 2: lesson plan to fill them. The only adults in the
- 57:55Speaker 2: room are guides who get paid up to one hundred
- 57:59Speaker 2: and seventy five dollars a year, so good money to
- 58:02Speaker 2: essentially act as motivational coaches. So this is individualized, individualized learning.
- 58:15Speaker 2: I know some parents who are sending their kids there
- 58:18Speaker 2: or considering it. It seems like an amazing project. There
- 58:22Speaker 2: will be a lot of learning, There'll be failure and
- 58:25Speaker 2: learning and adapting. Two of the people responsible for curriculum
- 58:32Speaker 2: development right now, So not when it was founded, but
- 58:37Speaker 2: today curriculum development is the application of AI objectivists. Probably
- 58:46Speaker 2: have you know one or both of them come in
- 58:50Speaker 2: and do an interview here. They're trying to apply them
- 58:53Speaker 2: onto SURI for young kids within the context of an
- 58:58Speaker 2: Alpha school. I'm trying to merge kind of the philosophy
- 59:03Speaker 2: of both Maria Montssoui and the founders of the school.
- 59:07Speaker 2: The school. These schools are expensive, but they were all
- 59:13Speaker 2: you know, they're all privately funded by one entrepreneur. He
- 59:16Speaker 2: hasn't raised any capital from what I understand h and
- 59:25Speaker 2: you know, we will see, we will see how this evolves.
- 59:27Speaker 2: It's something to keep track of, to monitor to see
- 59:32Speaker 2: how it develops. And particularly excited about the involvement of
- 59:36Speaker 2: objectivists who from the educational space in the curriculum development here.
- 59:45Speaker 2: You know, you know, he's just a description. Every morning,
- 59:48Speaker 2: students grab the computer from a storage bind put on headphones,
- 59:51Speaker 2: settle into their desks and focus on work. Right they
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: they do reading assignments, math assignments, whatever it happens to be.
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: That is part of the curriculum and again afternoons are
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: much more about skill oriented education. I mean, this is
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: going to be fascinating. Look forward to keeping you updated
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: on how this goes. But it's exciting to see people
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: thinking out of the box, people trying to innovate, people
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: trying to apply the latest, the latest technology to the
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: challenges that education poses to, trying to improve educational system. Okay,
- 1:00:45Speaker 2: to the healthcare sphace quickly. Everybody knows about GYP one drugs,
- 1:00:52Speaker 2: GP one drugs. If you know a weight loss drugs
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: that originally they will for a diabetes they lower blood sugar,
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: but they have been proved to be unbelievably effective, particularly
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: among obese people at reducing weight, but also you can
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: microdose jp ones and even people who are not obeste
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: can adjust their weight, can lose a few pounds taking
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: these drugs. Now you know, they they're mostly by injection,
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: but now you can get them in pill form, and
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: they used to be unbelievably expensive, but there has a
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: huge amount of competition around this and prices have come
- 1:01:33Speaker 2: down significantly. And we've talked about this in the past
- 1:01:37Speaker 2: that even independent of the weight loss effects, these drugs
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: seem to have all kinds of other health benefits for
- 1:01:48Speaker 2: hot disease you know, and and for other you know,
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: for for a whole variety of diseases.
- 1:01:58Speaker 3: Well.
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: In a recent study for new studies have suggested that
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: people taking gop one drugs so reductions in tumor progression cancer,
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: lower overall chance of death, and less risk of developing
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: breast cancer. As a quote from one of the scientists,
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: it's really provocative that they showed in several cancers that
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: people who took these drugs seem to have a lower
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: risk of cancer. Returning one study from researchers, This is
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: from a Wall Seat Journal article. One study from researchers
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: is Cleveland Clinic Cancer Institute tracked more than ten thousand
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: patients with early stage cancers who started gop one drugs
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: after diagnosis and compared their disease progression to those on
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: a different diabetic diabetes medication. Those on gop ones were
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: less likely to see their cancer spread. In lung cancer patients,
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: the rate of progress to advanced disease was cut roughly
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: in half ten percent in gop one users versus twenty
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: two percent in comparison group. Breast cancer pation showed a
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: similar pattern, with progression rates of ten percent versus twenty percent.
- 1:03:15Speaker 2: Called Orectal and liver cancers also showed statistically significant reductions. Now,
- 1:03:23Speaker 2: millions of people already taking gop one's. If it really
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: means that this is going to reduce the prevalence of
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: cancer or that they have some kind of anti tumor effect,
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: we could see a real, dramatic, significant decline in cancer
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: over the next few years. I mean again, gop one's
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: already used to reduce blood sugar, to reduce weight loss,
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: to reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. They've
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: also shown in tests to help with sleep apnea, again,
- 1:04:03Speaker 2: controlling for the weight loss, controlling for right and dampening
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: addictive behaviors. What can't these drugs? Do these really do
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: seem like miracle drugs? Somebody says, do they make Americans smarter?
- 1:04:22Speaker 2: That would really make them americal drugs. They have not
- 1:04:26Speaker 2: been shown to have an impact on Alzheimer's, so that
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: was a negative disappointment, But pretty much on everything else
- 1:04:34Speaker 2: they do, I'll take that pretty amazing stuff against something
- 1:04:39Speaker 2: to keep watching. But basically the news out of all
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: the GLP one research has been truly amazing, truly amazing.
- 1:05:01Speaker 2: All Right, finally, I'm gonna show you this video. I
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: think it's cool. Now. I know some of you will
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: be upset. Some of you will not like this. You
- 1:05:13Speaker 2: will think this is sacrilegious. I don't know. I was impressed.
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: This is an electric car, a new electric car design.
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: You'll see what company is from. I think it's pretty
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: I think it's amazing. If I had, if I could
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: afford it, I would consider buying one. Don't worry, even
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: your generous super chats are not going to get anywhere
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: near me being able to afford this. But here's the video.
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: It's gotten In the video before I shared it with you.
- 1:05:48Speaker 2: So let me back up a little bit. There we go,
- 1:05:55Speaker 2: there we go, blank screen, and here we.
- 1:05:57Speaker 5: Got got to get a bagame company an American concho
- 1:06:26Speaker 5: like fans.
- 1:06:30Speaker 10: I won't school school.
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: I don't know how you pronounced it, lusey loose, lucy, lucy,
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: lucy whatever. That is a cool call. That is a
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: human achievement. And uh it has uh I think I
- 1:07:57Speaker 2: read it has one thousand and thirty five host power,
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: so it's and it's a battery, right, It's all on battery.
- 1:08:06Speaker 2: So the token this thing is basically infinite, you know.
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: And the reason it has the shape that it has
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: is you don't need a big front for the or
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: a big back in the case front engine. It's just
- 1:08:19Speaker 2: a battery. It is a thousand and thirty five I
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: think something like that host power. So pretty cool, pretty good,
- 1:08:29Speaker 2: pretty good, pretty fast. I don't know zero to sixty
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: what it does? They you know, the news reports didn't
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: say it's very controversial because people think that's not right
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: for Ferrari. Ferrari should be making cause like that. But
- 1:08:46Speaker 2: it comes at a starting price, you know, this is
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: this is not this is uh, this is without the
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: frills and the and the customized whatever. The price is
- 1:08:59Speaker 2: five hundred and fifty thousand euro, five hundred and fifty
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: thousand euro. I don't know. I don't think. I don't
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: think the super Chatt will do it. I'm gonna have
- 1:09:09Speaker 2: to find another another venture so that I can afford this. Anyway,
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: I like it. I think it's cool. I think beautiful
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: things are beautiful things, and you gotta admire human creations
- 1:09:24Speaker 2: that are beautiful. That, my friends, is the news for
- 1:09:28Speaker 2: today May twenty six, and I apologize to all of
- 1:09:31Speaker 2: those of you who are only audio. You can check
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: out the Ferrari website look for the Luce new electric car.
- 1:09:45Speaker 2: So this is really this is really awesome. Alex says,
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: five and fifty K isn't that much for such a
- 1:09:55Speaker 2: for such a Ferrari. I agree, I agree, I agree.

- 1:14:00Speaker 2: has a two part fifty fifty dollars part questions one
- 1:14:04Speaker 2: hundred dollars total. Thank you, Michael, Part one. I've heard
- 1:14:07Speaker 2: some objectivists denigrate joy as being something lesser than happiness.
- 1:14:13Speaker 2: They think that pursuing joy amounts to hedonism, because, in
- 1:14:17Speaker 2: their view, joy is essentially short term or ephemeral. I
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: think of joy as more abstract term of which happiness
- 1:14:27Speaker 2: is a kind. I also think fun means enjoyment, and
- 1:14:32Speaker 2: so fun and enjoy on near synonyms. All right, So
- 1:14:36Speaker 2: there's a lot here. So I don't know who denigrates joy.
- 1:14:39Speaker 2: I've not heard objectives denigret joy, fun. I have heard,
- 1:14:43Speaker 2: but joy I haven't heard. Because I defines happiness as
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: the state a non contradictory joy. So I'm ran us
- 1:14:55Speaker 2: for joy, and indeed defined happiness in terms of joy.
- 1:15:01Speaker 2: Happiness is non contradicted joy, the state of non country joy.
- 1:15:06Speaker 2: So joy is a state of positivity towards yourself and
- 1:15:11Speaker 2: the world, a state of no anxiety and and and
- 1:15:16Speaker 2: and and and you know, the state of of of
- 1:15:22Speaker 2: of confidence and and and benevolence. Uh so, uh yeah,
- 1:15:28Speaker 2: I I I can't imagine why objectives would be anti joy.
- 1:15:32Speaker 2: I think, you know, fun is a little different. Fun
- 1:15:36Speaker 2: is much more momentary and casual. And I don't consider
- 1:15:43Speaker 2: joy and fun joy I think is more substantive. Uh
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: and and uh you know, broad, I think fun is
- 1:15:52Speaker 2: you know, something that is much more short term and efemal. Again,
- 1:15:57Speaker 2: I'm not against fun. I think fun is great. I'm
- 1:16:00Speaker 2: all for joy, and I'm all ultimately for happiness. Now, remember,
- 1:16:06Speaker 2: happiness is a state, a state of mind a state
- 1:16:10Speaker 2: of consciousness. And you know, I think what they might
- 1:16:16Speaker 2: be worried about is, yes, an appeal to hedonism in
- 1:16:23Speaker 2: the appeal to joy or to fun, versus the idea
- 1:16:26Speaker 2: that happiness, the state of non contradict joy comes from
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: hard work. Hard which might not be fun in the moment,
- 1:16:38Speaker 2: but is hard work that leads to achievement of values,
- 1:16:43Speaker 2: which leads this to joy. Joy is achieved when you
- 1:16:47Speaker 2: achieve values, and happiness is the accumulation of that over time.
- 1:17:01Speaker 2: Friend of Harper says, I can borrow his is that
- 1:17:03Speaker 2: he's referring to the Ferrari I wonder. I think he's
- 1:17:07Speaker 2: behind the tide behind on the show. He hasn't caught
- 1:17:10Speaker 2: up yet. Anyway, I get, you know, working hard, for example,
- 1:17:17Speaker 2: on a on a project, meeting a deadline, getting a
- 1:17:23Speaker 2: getting your prototype out there of something new that you're inventing.
- 1:17:28Speaker 2: The work is not always going to be fun, but
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: it will generate happiness if you're successful, and to the
- 1:17:41Speaker 2: extent that you learn from it even if you're not successful. Michael,
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: there are people with very high IQs out there who
- 1:17:51Speaker 2: are not great thinkers. Yes? Is this because they are dishonest?
- 1:17:56Speaker 2: And who was in reality, or they being corrupted by
- 1:17:59Speaker 2: mystical conti in pistemology. Well, it could be any one
- 1:18:02Speaker 2: of those, right, It could be they have chosen not
- 1:18:06Speaker 2: to think. They evade regularly in that sense, they're dishonest,
- 1:18:12Speaker 2: the evasive. They don't focus their mind. They've got this
- 1:18:17Speaker 2: great mind, but they don't use it, or they use
- 1:18:20Speaker 2: it in a very very narrow sphere, and as soon
- 1:18:24Speaker 2: as they go out of that sphere they blank out.
- 1:18:26Speaker 2: They purposely don't look, they don't want to apply their
- 1:18:29Speaker 2: mind in other spheres. Think about what Einman wrote to
- 1:18:34Speaker 2: what is Aspasky the chess champion? It was obviously super
- 1:18:40Speaker 2: super smart, but applied as smart to chess and not
- 1:18:45Speaker 2: beyond that. But it could also be that they have
- 1:18:48Speaker 2: been corrupted by a bad epistemology or by religion. It
- 1:18:52Speaker 2: doesn't all have to be kant Oh you just say
- 1:18:56Speaker 2: by mister oh content epistology. Yes, it could be that
- 1:19:00Speaker 2: they've just been neuted by a bad episteology. All of
- 1:19:06Speaker 2: those options exist. I don't think there's one explanation, only
- 1:19:10Speaker 2: one explanation for all the cases of really smart people.
- 1:19:15Speaker 2: Brilliant genius is sometimes having bad ideas. Ryan I am
- 1:19:21Speaker 2: sickened by the irony that Trump is negotiating a deal
- 1:19:24Speaker 2: with Iran on Memorial Day weekend. Capitalism and surrender to
- 1:19:28Speaker 2: a capitulation and surrender to a regime that has systematically
- 1:19:33Speaker 2: murdered US soldiers on a weekend men to honor their memory. Absolutely,
- 1:19:37Speaker 2: it is truly horrific and disgusting. He should be ashamed
- 1:19:41Speaker 2: of himself negotiating any deal with that regime. He should
- 1:19:45Speaker 2: be ashamed of himself. And I agree with you, Memorial
- 1:19:47Speaker 2: Day weekend, it's just worse. It's just dramatically worse. Chasbat says,
- 1:20:00Speaker 2: what's the fond of saying that wealth is created by
- 1:20:03Speaker 2: manual labor? But is it safe to say that most
- 1:20:07Speaker 2: of them have never used a hammer before? I don't
- 1:20:11Speaker 2: know about most, but suddenly many of them, Bernie Sanders Mamdani,
- 1:20:16Speaker 2: I don't think are particularly handy with a hammer or
- 1:20:19Speaker 2: any kind of tool. They're not exactly manual laborer types.
- 1:20:23Speaker 2: And I think that's true of a lot a lot
- 1:20:26Speaker 2: of the leftists. You know, they tend to be rich,
- 1:20:31Speaker 2: and I mean, can you see hasan Pika with a
- 1:20:34Speaker 2: hammer other than maybe to beat up his dog. I
- 1:20:37Speaker 2: don't know. Mary Eleene, help people with your own damn dollars.
- 1:20:45Speaker 2: But that's not what these guys want. They hate and
- 1:20:49Speaker 2: envy people like bezos. They want power and control of
- 1:20:53Speaker 2: other people's lives. Why do they get to choose what's
- 1:20:57Speaker 2: important for the rest of us? Absolutely, and look, yes,
- 1:21:01Speaker 2: it's the fact that they want power and control. And
- 1:21:03Speaker 2: they resent the fact that these billionaires have power, owned power,
- 1:21:08Speaker 2: economic power in this case. But who are they? I'm
- 1:21:11Speaker 2: smarter than them. I went to Harvard, I got a degree.
- 1:21:16Speaker 2: I know momoxism inside out. Who are these guys? What
- 1:21:20Speaker 2: did they do? Where did they study? What? You know?
- 1:21:23Speaker 2: Half of them are dropouts. How dare they have all
- 1:21:28Speaker 2: this power and influence and I not have it? They
- 1:21:33Speaker 2: resent the fact that the entrepreneurs are rich and they
- 1:21:37Speaker 2: are not. Or if they are rich, it's wealth they
- 1:21:40Speaker 2: didn't create. It's wealth they either inherited or or leached. Thomas,
- 1:21:51Speaker 2: what is your view of the immigration policy under Obama
- 1:21:54Speaker 2: and Biden? It is often called open borders, but both
- 1:21:58Speaker 2: actually deported a large number of people. It'd even Trump
- 1:22:01Speaker 2: opponents such as Samharis say they were border crisis. I mean,
- 1:22:04Speaker 2: it clearly was a border crisis. Under Biden, I mean
- 1:22:08Speaker 2: Biden basically had this nondescriptive immigration policy where he was
- 1:22:15Speaker 2: basically willing to provide and basically told the world, and
- 1:22:20Speaker 2: you know, what, do you call it asylum to anybody?
- 1:22:23Speaker 2: So tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people came
- 1:22:26Speaker 2: to the US border and he didn't know what to
- 1:22:29Speaker 2: do with them, and he let many of them in
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: and because they were asylum seekers, they now were eligible
- 1:22:36Speaker 2: for welfare, but they couldn't work for six to nine months.
- 1:22:42Speaker 2: And it was just it was just bizarre, hundreds of
- 1:22:44Speaker 2: thousands of people showing up at the border thinking they
- 1:22:47Speaker 2: were going to get legal status because asylum, and it
- 1:22:54Speaker 2: was a mess. It had there was no policy. It
- 1:22:57Speaker 2: was kind of anarchist in a sense. There was no
- 1:23:01Speaker 2: you know, governing policy, governing way to do things. It
- 1:23:05Speaker 2: was just it was just an absolute I think disaster
- 1:23:11Speaker 2: and I think, you know, arguably Kamala has lost because
- 1:23:17Speaker 2: of Biden's immigration policy. He could have had more legal
- 1:23:24Speaker 2: immigration focused on workers on jobs. It wouldn't have been
- 1:23:30Speaker 2: a chaotic. But the whole idea of asylum just come
- 1:23:35Speaker 2: in here and ask for asylum and we'll give you
- 1:23:36Speaker 2: off it. That is a crazy system, a bad system,
- 1:23:40Speaker 2: a wrong system. Yeah, so yep. Anyway, so I don't
- 1:23:52Speaker 2: think he had a good Now, Obama's policy was better.
- 1:23:55Speaker 2: You know, yes, he did deport a lot of people, sadly,
- 1:23:59Speaker 2: but you know, there was much more clearer policy about
- 1:24:04Speaker 2: who comes in, who doesn't come in, who gets a sign,
- 1:24:06Speaker 2: who gets deported, who doesn't get deported than Biden. Biden
- 1:24:13Speaker 2: was a complete and outer mess and a disaster. It
- 1:24:16Speaker 2: wasn't open Voters, but it was. I mean, that would
- 1:24:19Speaker 2: have been an improvement. But because it was worse than
- 1:24:22Speaker 2: worse than open open voters is good. It was all
- 1:24:26Speaker 2: the wrong kind of immigrants, and we'll fell on top
- 1:24:31Speaker 2: of it because of the particular way in which they
- 1:24:35Speaker 2: came in. Wes fifty dollars stick. I thank you. Wes
- 1:24:39Speaker 2: really really appreciate that. Thank you, Alex. There he Goes,
- 1:24:45Speaker 2: he did it. He actually came through with a super chat.
- 1:24:50Speaker 2: Thank you, Alex. My haranguing helped. I appreciate it. What
- 1:24:57Speaker 2: do you think of us on Pika being subpoenaed by
- 1:24:59Speaker 2: the U Treasury? Well, I mean you have to separate
- 1:25:03Speaker 2: out things here. I mean I hate us on Paika
- 1:25:06Speaker 2: and anything that harasses him abugs him or not anything,
- 1:25:10Speaker 2: but generally I'm all in supportive of that. I do
- 1:25:15Speaker 2: worry right now, and I and there's a good chance that,
- 1:25:21Speaker 2: given that the United States has a certain policy around
- 1:25:24Speaker 2: not supporting the Cuban regime, that when he went to Cuba,
- 1:25:28Speaker 2: he did do stuff that was you know there wash
- 1:25:37Speaker 2: you know, bad for there was supportive of the Cuban regime.
- 1:25:42Speaker 2: So it could very well be that there's something real there,
- 1:25:46Speaker 2: that that there's a real coin being committed. But it
- 1:25:49Speaker 2: also could be the US government going after their political opponents.
- 1:25:54Speaker 2: So I don't know until we see the details. Again,
- 1:25:58Speaker 2: it couldn't happen to a nicer guy, But you know,
- 1:26:01Speaker 2: I believe in the rule of law, and if the
- 1:26:04Speaker 2: Treasury Department is going to go after somebody, they should
- 1:26:06Speaker 2: have the law behind them. And I hope that that
- 1:26:10Speaker 2: is indeed the case. And it wouldn't surprise me that
- 1:26:13Speaker 2: that's indeed the case. Piker seems I saw a clip
- 1:26:17Speaker 2: of him talking about this really really really scared. That
- 1:26:21Speaker 2: made my day. So a sun packer really looks scared
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: and worried about it, So maybe there's something there. Maybe
- 1:26:33Speaker 2: if he's worried, there really is something there. But yes,
- 1:26:37Speaker 2: if you're in violation of these sanctions, if you're in
- 1:26:41Speaker 2: violation of supporting a entity that is an enemy somehow
- 1:26:46Speaker 2: of the United States, then yeah, go after them. Absolutely
- 1:26:50Speaker 2: good for the Treasury, the Treasury Department. If there's really
- 1:26:53Speaker 2: a case there. I hope there is. I wouldn't mind
- 1:26:57Speaker 2: seeing us on Picker go to jail for, you know,
- 1:27:01Speaker 2: breaking the law, if he really broke the law. Noel,
- 1:27:05Speaker 2: thank you for the twenty Canadian dollars. Really appreciate that.
- 1:27:08Speaker 2: On only five dollars short of our second hour goal,
- 1:27:12Speaker 2: that would be great. Five dollars guys, all right, Moulten splendor,
- 1:27:16Speaker 2: thank you, thank you, thank you. Moulton's been great, a
- 1:27:19Speaker 2: great support of the show. Recently, doctor Dalgia has been
- 1:27:24Speaker 2: updating the population about current infectious diseases. He is doing
- 1:27:28Speaker 2: a great job and being very clear about risk levels.
- 1:27:31Speaker 2: I agree he has been doing an amazing job. Many
- 1:27:34Speaker 2: reactions are just hateful, saying he is a fiamonga or
- 1:27:39Speaker 2: being paid by big farmer. Why all these loud deniers, Well,
- 1:27:45Speaker 2: because there is a a new since COVID, Even before COVID,
- 1:27:52Speaker 2: but certainly since COVID, there's been this large group among
- 1:27:57Speaker 2: Americans who were anti science, anti expertise, i e. Scientists,
- 1:28:08Speaker 2: and this got a real boost from COVID and doctor
- 1:28:11Speaker 2: Jogia was very good in COVID. I thought brought together
- 1:28:15Speaker 2: real objective information and of course was a supporter of
- 1:28:20Speaker 2: the vaccines because the vaccines were good, and people developed
- 1:28:28Speaker 2: a real hatred of Amash as a consequence, he was
- 1:28:33Speaker 2: part of big farm, a part of the conspiracy to
- 1:28:35Speaker 2: get us all vaccinated, where he was just bringing objective
- 1:28:41Speaker 2: knowledge to all of us. And I think still is
- 1:28:47Speaker 2: people out there bought into the RFK, you know, idea
- 1:28:53Speaker 2: of health. He doesn't RFK doesn't believe in the germ theory.
- 1:28:57Speaker 2: He believes vaccines are killing us, or causing us autism,
- 1:29:00Speaker 2: are causing us whatever, you know, And they they refuse
- 1:29:06Speaker 2: to listen to actual knowledgeable people within the healthcare space.
- 1:29:12Speaker 2: There's also a huge anti farmer campaign out there that
- 1:29:17Speaker 2: people both on the left and on the right are
- 1:29:19Speaker 2: buying into farmers just interested in milking you for your money.
- 1:29:23Speaker 2: Forget you know the fact that these gp ones seem
- 1:29:26Speaker 2: to be truly amazing. No, no, no, gp ones. They're
- 1:29:33Speaker 2: destroying human life. You know, they've got something negative about
- 1:29:36Speaker 2: anything that farmer does, partially because farmer is driven by
- 1:29:40Speaker 2: a profit motive and they are suspicious to say the
- 1:29:44Speaker 2: least of the profit motive, but partially because they they're cronies,
- 1:29:49Speaker 2: so they they you know, they completely go So Amus
- 1:29:54Speaker 2: unfortunately has been vilified and these people are committing a
- 1:29:59Speaker 2: huge injustice against him. He's a real hero for what
- 1:30:03Speaker 2: he does and what he did during COVID and what
- 1:30:05Speaker 2: he does to educate us all and his reward is
- 1:30:09Speaker 2: vilification by people and the left, people and the right,
- 1:30:13Speaker 2: even people who call themselves objectivists. Stephen, have you seen
- 1:30:25Speaker 2: dream Loop cinema videos on YouTube? No, I haven't. I
- 1:30:29Speaker 2: enjoyed the Communist Friends episode and episodes where a character
- 1:30:33Speaker 2: finds an old, battered copy of Alice Shrugged, which has
- 1:30:37Speaker 2: been banned for centuries. Huh, No, I haven't seen this.
- 1:30:41Speaker 2: I'll have to look at him up. Dream Loop Cinema
- 1:30:44Speaker 2: cool sounds really good, Michael, bounty hunters a legitimate profession
- 1:30:51Speaker 2: or is that too much privatization of policing function? Yeah?
- 1:30:56Speaker 2: I don't like bounty hunters. I think it's fine to
- 1:31:01Speaker 2: issue rewards for information about but the enforcement of the
- 1:31:05Speaker 2: law should be done by authorized police. They are trained
- 1:31:10Speaker 2: in what is legal for them to do and what
- 1:31:13Speaker 2: is not. They are trained and applying and doing their
- 1:31:17Speaker 2: job and an objective fashion. Bounty hunters, I guess, could
- 1:31:24Speaker 2: be deputatized, trained and deputized by police. I guess that's possible,
- 1:31:30Speaker 2: But you would have to have the training and you
- 1:31:32Speaker 2: would have to be deputized. You know. One of the
- 1:31:36Speaker 2: things that the rule of law brings is objectivity. If
- 1:31:40Speaker 2: somebody is knocking at your door asking you questions about
- 1:31:43Speaker 2: a crime, they have to show a badge because then
- 1:31:47Speaker 2: you can tell they're legit. They're not just vigilantes. They're legit,
- 1:31:54Speaker 2: and you know your rights. That is, as soon as
- 1:31:56Speaker 2: they're legit, they are rights protected and you know your
- 1:32:02Speaker 2: rights visa VI. Them a bounty hunter roaming around the
- 1:32:09Speaker 2: streets armed looking for bad guys. You know, you don't
- 1:32:14Speaker 2: know who he is, what he is. He has cause
- 1:32:18Speaker 2: for friction, and and you don't know by what rules
- 1:32:23Speaker 2: he's functioning, what's guiding him. If there was such a thing,
- 1:32:28Speaker 2: they would have to be heavily regulated by the police itself.
- 1:32:38Speaker 2: Mary Aleen, So what if America Americans get fired and
- 1:32:43Speaker 2: replaced with Indians? If the Indian is better qualified and
- 1:32:47Speaker 2: could do a better job. There are no American jobs.
- 1:32:50Speaker 2: That's right, it's not a problem. If Americans get fired,
- 1:32:54Speaker 2: they should get fired. Immigrants do replace some American jobs
- 1:32:59Speaker 2: held by him Americans. That's the beauty of globalization. It's
- 1:33:04Speaker 2: the beauty of immigration. And what happens there is we
- 1:33:08Speaker 2: yet increase efficiency, increase wealth creation, increase productivity, and the
- 1:33:13Speaker 2: American is then free to go find another job. You
- 1:33:16Speaker 2: do not have a right to your job as an American,
- 1:33:20Speaker 2: as whites is whatever. There's no such thing as a
- 1:33:23Speaker 2: right to a job. Compete, have the cohunas to compete.
- 1:33:29Speaker 2: I mean, all these people are such cowards. There's such cowards.
- 1:33:37Speaker 2: They're afraid to compete. They claim to be Americans, but
- 1:33:41Speaker 2: in spirit they're damned socialists. Marylan says, I would love
- 1:33:48Speaker 2: to hear an Alpha School's interview. I've been following them
- 1:33:51Speaker 2: for several months. Amazing. Yeah, I know some of the
- 1:33:54Speaker 2: people involved, so we will try to make that happen. Opposite,
- 1:34:00Speaker 2: you can borrow one of my loose loose is the
- 1:34:02Speaker 2: car if you want sometime I'm not using them. I
- 1:34:06Speaker 2: let them borrow. I let them borrow the one you
- 1:34:10Speaker 2: see in that ad he has ten dollars towards you
- 1:34:13Speaker 2: getting one someday too. Yeah, I mean, the only reason
- 1:34:17Speaker 2: I know, the only reason I know friend Harper is
- 1:34:19Speaker 2: not serious is the fact that the car is just
- 1:34:22Speaker 2: been announced and none of them have sold yet, so
- 1:34:25Speaker 2: he doesn't have as munch a bunch of loose as yet.
- 1:34:29Speaker 2: I mean, he might get them in the future, and
- 1:34:31Speaker 2: I appreciate if he'd let me drive one when he
- 1:34:34Speaker 2: does get them, but he's full of it right now.
- 1:34:39Speaker 2: The car has not yet gone into production, but I'm
- 1:34:44Speaker 2: excited about, you know, an amazing super chats in the future,
- 1:34:51Speaker 2: so they can put my down payment on one, and
- 1:34:54Speaker 2: mine wouldn't be blue, even though I like blue enough
- 1:34:57Speaker 2: for car. I mean, farai, should you read at the
- 1:35:02Speaker 2: very least? Or gray with red leather inside, gray leather inside.
- 1:35:11Speaker 2: All right, guys, thank you. I will see you all tomorrow.
- 1:35:17Speaker 2: We will have another news show with I promise a
- 1:35:20Speaker 2: human achievements section it. You know you have to keep
- 1:35:25Speaker 2: looking for great human achievements. Will put in some arts
- 1:35:28Speaker 2: and stuff like that as well. Yeah, it'll be cool,
- 1:35:32Speaker 2: So I will see you all. I will see you
- 1:35:35Speaker 2: all tomorrow or if it says the car has got
- 1:35:40Speaker 2: an enormous amount of hate. I know, I've seen that
- 1:35:43Speaker 2: a lot of hate. People hate it. That's why I said.
- 1:35:45Speaker 2: It's very controversial and people might not like this, but
- 1:35:49Speaker 2: I like it. I would get one if I could
- 1:35:51Speaker 2: afford it. Can't afford it, won't get one. See tomorrow, Bye, everybody.
