0:03
Speaker 1: A lot of the fundamental principals of leedom, national self interest,
0:10
Speaker 1: and individual lots.
0:14
Speaker 2: This is the show. Oh right, everybody, welcome to here,
0:22
Speaker 2: one book show on this Tuesday, March twenty fourth. Though
0:26
Speaker 2: everybody is having a good week. I hope you enjoyed
0:29
Speaker 2: the two shows I did yesterday. We are back and
0:33
Speaker 2: then news does not stop, so we got a bunch
0:37
Speaker 2: of talk about today. Of course, you can shape the
0:40
Speaker 2: show by asking questions about anything about anything going on
0:44
Speaker 2: in the world, about any questions you have, in particular
0:47
Speaker 2: about what's going on in the Middle East. But of
0:49
Speaker 2: course you guys ask questions about everything all over the place.
0:55
Speaker 2: All right, we continue to be seesawed back and forth.
0:59
Speaker 2: We'll get to that. Is there going to be peace?
1:01
Speaker 2: Is there a deal in the making? Is there not?
1:04
Speaker 2: Oil is backup of ninety? West Texas oil is backup
1:08
Speaker 2: above eighty ninety. It was eighty eight yesterday. It's backup
1:13
Speaker 2: of a ninety. As we whip sol back and forth,
1:15
Speaker 2: the stock market was kind of down a little bit,
1:18
Speaker 2: some stocks up, and nobody knows exactly what to make
1:25
Speaker 2: as expected and predictable. Trump is completely unpredictable, and the
1:31
Speaker 2: fog of war. Nobody really knows what exactly is going on, right.
1:37
Speaker 2: I thought, what I do though today is before we
1:39
Speaker 2: get into like is there going to be a deal
1:41
Speaker 2: or isn't they going to be a deal? Is there
1:44
Speaker 2: going to be you know, is Trump negotiating? Isn't the negotiating?
1:47
Speaker 2: What exactly is going on? I thought we talked a
1:50
Speaker 2: little bit about the streets of Almost and I know
1:52
Speaker 2: we've talked about the straits of Most, but we haven't
1:54
Speaker 2: really seen a map of the streets of Foremost. I
1:57
Speaker 2: thought we'd actually look at a map. I like maps.
2:00
Speaker 2: I don't know about you guys, but I actually really
2:02
Speaker 2: like maps. They're really cool. The only thing is that
2:06
Speaker 2: you can't see when I move like my mouse over
2:10
Speaker 2: the map, you can't see it. I wonder if there's
2:13
Speaker 2: something I can do. Yeah, I don't have anything I
2:17
Speaker 2: can point to here they will actually see it. Hopefully
2:20
Speaker 2: you can see the map big enough to see something
2:24
Speaker 2: of what is going on here in the map. But
2:29
Speaker 2: I thought i'd just show you, like what's going on, right,
2:32
Speaker 2: so you can see here in it kind of in
2:34
Speaker 2: the center, there's a big block, a big country called
2:38
Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia. Right, it's right there read is right in
2:41
Speaker 2: the middle of the map there that you can see
2:44
Speaker 2: that is Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia comes up to on
2:48
Speaker 2: the right, that is, looking at it. On the right
2:51
Speaker 2: the Persian Gulf. It has a long coast with the
2:54
Speaker 2: Persian Gulf. You can see that just north of Saudi
2:57
Speaker 2: Arabia is Iraq. Don't know that you can see Baghdad there,
3:02
Speaker 2: but you can see you can see Iraq. You can
3:04
Speaker 2: see Basra Bassras in south Iraq. And between Iraq and
3:09
Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia on kind of that corner there there's Quay,
3:13
Speaker 2: so that is Quait that's being attacked quite a bit
3:16
Speaker 2: by the Iranians during this war. And then if you
3:19
Speaker 2: go down the coast of the Persian Gulf, right you
3:22
Speaker 2: go down the coast basically south east along the coast,
3:28
Speaker 2: you get to Bahrain, which is a tiny speck of
3:31
Speaker 2: a place right there on the coast. And then when
3:34
Speaker 2: you go further down you see this thing sticking out
3:39
Speaker 2: like a finger into the Persian Gulf, that is Kata.
3:42
Speaker 2: Both Bahrain and Karta have been attacked significantly by the Iranians.
3:47
Speaker 2: And then you go further down the coast and you
3:50
Speaker 2: get to the United Arab Emirates. These are this is
3:54
Speaker 2: it's one country divided into a number of different emirates,
4:00
Speaker 2: Dubai being one of them and the others, but it's
4:03
Speaker 2: united under one king basically, right. And then if you
4:08
Speaker 2: go and you go all the way up, you know,
4:12
Speaker 2: along this coast, and it turns northeast, you get to
4:15
Speaker 2: the tip here, and that tip is the Straits of Homos.
4:19
Speaker 2: That tip that between that and Iran, which is right
4:22
Speaker 2: across on the other side of the Straits of Homos
4:25
Speaker 2: is the Straits of Homos right across as Iran. And
4:30
Speaker 2: that tip is actually Oman that is not United Arab Emirates,
4:35
Speaker 2: and Oman is split. The United Arab Emirates actually sits
4:39
Speaker 2: there's a piece of it that sits in between two
4:41
Speaker 2: pieces that are that are owned in a sense by Oman,
4:45
Speaker 2: that tip and the Straits of Homoes. And for the
4:49
Speaker 2: south and southwest, it's a pretty big country. There's nothing
4:53
Speaker 2: much there, but it's a pretty big country of desert Oman.
4:55
Speaker 2: And if you keep going towards the west southwest, you'll
5:00
Speaker 2: get to Yemen and you'll get to where the hooties are.
5:02
Speaker 2: And if I pull this map a little bit further north,
5:07
Speaker 2: you'll get to this other straight down at the bottom there,
5:10
Speaker 2: bottom left hand corner, that is the strait that the
5:14
Speaker 2: uties are constantly blocking. Right, Jibouti is on one side
5:18
Speaker 2: Eritrea's just above Jibooty and Yemen is there, and the
5:22
Speaker 2: Jutis control the area of Yemen that abates the Red Sea,
5:27
Speaker 2: which is that sea that goes north northwest right there,
5:32
Speaker 2: So you know this is this is what the area
5:35
Speaker 2: of the world we're talking about. My picture the video
5:38
Speaker 2: where I am, that's covering up Israel. So if we
5:42
Speaker 2: if we've pulled this up over there, there's Israel right
5:45
Speaker 2: and you can see the distance between Iran and Israel.
5:47
Speaker 2: It's far. You can see Lebanon just above Israel, so
5:51
Speaker 2: that gives you a little bit of perspective. You can
5:54
Speaker 2: see the Quay Bahray in Katau, United Arabama. It's and
5:57
Speaker 2: even Sadi Arabia a riad really really really really close
6:03
Speaker 2: to Iran, so that webs I didn't mean to do that.
6:09
Speaker 2: So any missiles that go from Yuan arrive at these
6:16
Speaker 2: other places really really quickly because they're really really close.
6:20
Speaker 2: And that's why there's a sense in which it's tougher
6:23
Speaker 2: to deal with drones in particular, because if they if
6:27
Speaker 2: they're sent from the coast of Iran, they're very quickly
6:30
Speaker 2: in Bahrain or in United Arammirates or in any of
6:34
Speaker 2: these any of these places along the Gulf, because it's
6:38
Speaker 2: so close. So that's what noting. It's also what Noting
6:42
Speaker 2: think about Israeli pilots. I need to fly from Israel
6:47
Speaker 2: all the way to Iran, all the way to Tehran,
6:49
Speaker 2: which is like in central Iran, and in some cases
6:53
Speaker 2: flying to eastern Iran. Those distances are substantial. You know,
7:00
Speaker 2: they have to get refueled on the way, most of
7:02
Speaker 2: their planes, not all of them, most of their planes
7:04
Speaker 2: have to be refueled. But imagine operating around Uran, so
7:08
Speaker 2: far from home and the only way back everything in between.
7:15
Speaker 2: You know, it is hostile territory. You do not want
7:18
Speaker 2: to be emergency landing in Iraq or in Syria or
7:22
Speaker 2: in any place like that, right, I mean, if you're here,
7:26
Speaker 2: there's nothing friendly. Maybe Azerbaijan up here at the north
7:29
Speaker 2: of Yuan, but there's nothing friendly. And yet Israeli pilots
7:33
Speaker 2: daily flying back and forth, back and forth, back and forth,
7:36
Speaker 2: and attacking targets in inyon. Now, if you look at
7:40
Speaker 2: the straits here, you can see how it narrows and
7:45
Speaker 2: how narrow it is right here, and you can imagine
7:49
Speaker 2: the Iranians sitting here with cruise missiles anti ship cruise missiles.
7:55
Speaker 2: You can think of them having drones here that they
7:59
Speaker 2: could they could take out anything that was in the
8:02
Speaker 2: blue water here in the Persian Gulf. You can think
8:04
Speaker 2: of them mining this area, given how narrow it is.
8:09
Speaker 2: Right What you also have here is lots of islands.
8:13
Speaker 2: The closer you get, the more islands you see. The
8:15
Speaker 2: whole area is dotted with little islands. Right The island
8:19
Speaker 2: with the oil that everybody's talking about is up here
8:22
Speaker 2: in the north, So it's there, it is. It's Kirk,
8:28
Speaker 2: but it's not far from Iraq, it's not far from Kuwait,
8:32
Speaker 2: so it's way up in the north. But if you
8:34
Speaker 2: go down the coast, if you go down the coast,
8:37
Speaker 2: you can see that there are other islands, islands that
8:40
Speaker 2: have strategic importance in terms of controlling the gulf. Right
8:46
Speaker 2: So ships coming here trying to get out are going
8:51
Speaker 2: to have to go buy some of these islands, some
8:54
Speaker 2: of these little islands here in order to get out
8:57
Speaker 2: you could imagine that these islands might be strategic for
9:02
Speaker 2: the Americans to take over in order to help them
9:06
Speaker 2: control their passage and be able to help them monitor
9:10
Speaker 2: this coastline, the coastline of the Iranians. You can also
9:17
Speaker 2: see there's a port here bunder a bus. A lot
9:20
Speaker 2: of attacks. A lot of Americans have been attacking the
9:24
Speaker 2: Bunda bus. You can see it's popping up there, the
9:27
Speaker 2: port over there, because that is a strategic port for
9:29
Speaker 2: the Uranians. It's right on the straight. There's a lot
9:34
Speaker 2: of attacks along the shoreline, a lot of attacks in
9:36
Speaker 2: Buda Bas, a lot of attacks along these islands where
9:39
Speaker 2: the Iranians keep their fast boats, where they have some
9:43
Speaker 2: of these missiles, where they potentially have drones and mines
9:46
Speaker 2: and all this stuff. What's going to be key, I think,
9:50
Speaker 2: in some ways more important either than this island Karak,
9:54
Speaker 2: where ninety all the oil goes out, the Uranian oil
9:59
Speaker 2: ultimately goes out, in some sense, more important than this
10:02
Speaker 2: island for shipping is going to be the control of
10:06
Speaker 2: these small islands over here. These small islands, you know,
10:10
Speaker 2: I don't know what that is. It's just this Persian gulf.
10:12
Speaker 2: But there's a little island over there doesn't even have
10:14
Speaker 2: a name. The are the islands over here. Imagine the
10:19
Speaker 2: US controlling these islands and using them to monitor what's
10:24
Speaker 2: happening along the Gulf and monitor what the Uranians are doing.
10:28
Speaker 2: So I wouldn't be surprised if you see Marines occupy
10:32
Speaker 2: not just that island it's so crucial for the oil supply,
10:36
Speaker 2: but also these other islands that are crucial for the
10:38
Speaker 2: shipping out of the Gulf. All indications are that the
10:43
Speaker 2: eighty second Airborne Division this is a paratrude division, but
10:47
Speaker 2: also a division that could be moved there, moved by
10:50
Speaker 2: airplanes or helicopters or a variety of different ways. They
10:54
Speaker 2: are now three thousand of them are in the Middle
10:56
Speaker 2: East ready for action. You could see them deploy to
11:00
Speaker 2: various islands or coastal areas along the Gulf here in
11:05
Speaker 2: order to protect the Gulf, in order to facilitate shipping
11:09
Speaker 2: out of the straits. But you can see how narrow
11:11
Speaker 2: it is here. This year is Jabbel al Karim, that
11:17
Speaker 2: is in Oman, that is just above Dubai, which is
11:21
Speaker 2: at the bottom. I don't think you can see Dubai.
11:23
Speaker 2: Let's see there. Maybe you can see Dubai now, that
11:25
Speaker 2: is Dubai, right, Dubai is right there. This is what
11:30
Speaker 2: the area looks like. And then I'm gonna zoom out
11:32
Speaker 2: and you can see. Once you get out of the streets,
11:34
Speaker 2: it's still not free because you've got this whole Iranian coast.
11:38
Speaker 2: So you're gonna head You're gonna stick to kind of
11:41
Speaker 2: the west. You're gonna stay connected to the west, avoid
11:45
Speaker 2: the Iranians. But somebody is gonna have to escort you
11:49
Speaker 2: out to make sure that the Iranians are out launching
11:51
Speaker 2: anything at you. And it's a long way to get
11:54
Speaker 2: out of the Gulf of Oman, all the way out
11:57
Speaker 2: into the open ocean here, which is this is the
12:02
Speaker 2: this is the ultimately the Indian Ocean, and you know
12:06
Speaker 2: you have to get out of the Gulf of Roman
12:07
Speaker 2: into this. The country next to you on here in
12:12
Speaker 2: the east is Pakistan. To the north you've got Afghanistan,
12:18
Speaker 2: and to the north of that you've got to Khamenistan.
12:20
Speaker 2: Tu Khamenistan is where a lot of the Russian supplies
12:24
Speaker 2: are probably coming in, because if you go north of
12:26
Speaker 2: Tu Khamenistan you basically get to Russia. So supplies are
12:31
Speaker 2: probably coming into you run through Takaministan by truck on
12:36
Speaker 2: this northern border. But you see runs a big country,
12:40
Speaker 2: a ninety two million people. Just to give you a
12:44
Speaker 2: sense of that, Israel is you know, a ten that
12:49
Speaker 2: includes two million Arab population. So Israel is eight eight
12:54
Speaker 2: million Jews, two million Arabs. But it's a ten million people,
12:58
Speaker 2: tiny sliver of land there. It is as compared to
13:02
Speaker 2: as compared to Iran. You know, Israel, you can barely
13:06
Speaker 2: even tell, because you know the Sinai is almost the Signai,
13:10
Speaker 2: which is this bit between the Sewers Canal and the
13:14
Speaker 2: Red Sea, is almost as bigger than Israel itself. And
13:18
Speaker 2: the Sign of course as landed. Israel gave back, gave after.
13:22
Speaker 2: In nineteen seventy nine, as part of the peace agreement,
13:25
Speaker 2: gave to back to Egypt. Even though it's hugely strategically
13:30
Speaker 2: important for Israel, they decided to give it back anyway.
13:34
Speaker 2: I thought, just looking at a map orientce you and
13:38
Speaker 2: when we talk about these different regions, you get a
13:41
Speaker 2: sense of what they are. Most of the Israeli attacks,
13:44
Speaker 2: just to give you again a sense of Iran, most
13:48
Speaker 2: of these Raeli attacks have been concentrated in this region,
13:52
Speaker 2: you know, Tehran is over here. Who ups, I didn't
13:56
Speaker 2: intend to go all the way all the way like that,
13:58
Speaker 2: but Tehran is right there, right there, and you've got
14:07
Speaker 2: Tabriz up here in the northwest is almost being focused
14:11
Speaker 2: really in this area of the west side of Iran,
14:16
Speaker 2: Tehran and the Caspian See this is the Caspian Sea
14:21
Speaker 2: where they bombed the boats and they destroyed the Iranian navy.
14:24
Speaker 2: That's on the Caspian Sea and the other side of
14:26
Speaker 2: the Caspian Sea is Russia. Russia's up north there, and
14:33
Speaker 2: the US mainly being focused on the south of Iran,
14:39
Speaker 2: this area along the coast she was and for the
14:42
Speaker 2: south Bundara Bus and everything around there. So they've split
14:46
Speaker 2: up geographically between the two. For Israel to get to
14:51
Speaker 2: the south would be very difficult, even more difficult than
14:54
Speaker 2: where they are now for the Americans. Pretty much any
14:57
Speaker 2: all of you on is accessible, depending on what kind
15:00
Speaker 2: of airplanes they want to fly and where they're flying
15:02
Speaker 2: them from. All right, there's a bigger picture. You can
15:06
Speaker 2: see it in the context of the Middle East. You
15:07
Speaker 2: can see Iran is a huge, massive country, said the
15:10
Speaker 2: Arabia is a big but a smaller population Iran ninety
15:13
Speaker 2: two million people. And yeah, I mean the big question
15:20
Speaker 2: is I mean, somebody's asking where's the American fleet. The
15:23
Speaker 2: American fleet is down here. If you see the Arabian
15:27
Speaker 2: Sea right, so this is before you really enter the
15:33
Speaker 2: you know what you would call the Indian Ocean. This
15:36
Speaker 2: is the Arabian Sea below Oman. So they're not in
15:40
Speaker 2: the Gulf of Oman. They're probably in the north side
15:42
Speaker 2: of the Arabian Sea, which gives them access to the
15:45
Speaker 2: entire south of Ivan, right, but there's somewhere you know,
15:50
Speaker 2: east of Oman, west of India, and you can see
15:54
Speaker 2: how close India is, so if India sent the navy,
15:57
Speaker 2: they could get in. You can also see here on
15:59
Speaker 2: the western side you can see Egypt Cairo. Well, the
16:03
Speaker 2: Sewius Canal is just goes right through the word Cairo there.
16:08
Speaker 2: That's where any European boats would have to travel through.
16:12
Speaker 2: They'd come through the Mediterranean, come down the Swiss Canal,
16:16
Speaker 2: down the Red Sea, through those streets that the hutis
16:21
Speaker 2: potentially control, into the Gulf of Aiden, then into the
16:27
Speaker 2: Indian Arabian Sea, and then in order to escort the boats,
16:31
Speaker 2: they have to go up the Gulf of Oman. And
16:33
Speaker 2: into the Persian Gulf. So you can see there's a
16:36
Speaker 2: lot to travel here. This is big space. You need
16:40
Speaker 2: a lot of boats, you need a lot of ships.
16:42
Speaker 2: Now there is an indication of reports are coming out
16:47
Speaker 2: that the Royal Navy. You know, when I say the
16:50
Speaker 2: Royal Navy, it sounds like we should have some trumpets
16:53
Speaker 2: announcing the Royal Navy. The Brits are coming that the
16:57
Speaker 2: Royal Navy is going to lead a homeost coalition finally
17:02
Speaker 2: to reopen the states of Homos. Britain is expected to
17:06
Speaker 2: deploy nine clearing units. These these would be units that
17:11
Speaker 2: include mind sweepers and a destroyer alongside the US and France,
17:18
Speaker 2: which would involve, you know, involve a Western you know,
17:22
Speaker 2: a coordinator Western push. Wouldn't be surprised if you saw
17:25
Speaker 2: some Japanese ships joining in. Maybe India and maybe some
17:30
Speaker 2: other European countries would send some shifts in. But the
17:34
Speaker 2: Europeans are stepping up. It really does look like they
17:39
Speaker 2: have realized the severity of situation. They realize that the
17:42
Speaker 2: United States, I mean, it could do this alone, but
17:45
Speaker 2: it's gonna take a lot longer. The Europeans do have
17:48
Speaker 2: a competitive advantage in mind sweeping as in the Japanese
17:55
Speaker 2: and so you can expect now this is again it's
17:58
Speaker 2: going to take a week too, because I don't know
18:01
Speaker 2: where the ships are. The French ships are in the
18:04
Speaker 2: Eastern Mediterranean. You know, the the USS Ford is taken
18:10
Speaker 2: out of commission. It's in Greece now getting repairs. So
18:14
Speaker 2: the US only has one aircraft carrier in the area
18:18
Speaker 2: they wanted to they needed to, they only have one
18:21
Speaker 2: because of the fire on the USS Forward, so they
18:24
Speaker 2: only have one. The French in the Eastern Mediterraneans, so
18:28
Speaker 2: they could get to the Arabian Cy pretty quickly. The
18:34
Speaker 2: Brits are probably coming forbidden. It's gonna take them a
18:37
Speaker 2: couple of weeks to get there, you know. I don't
18:40
Speaker 2: know if we're going to see the Italians join in
18:43
Speaker 2: and others joining in. They could get there quicker, but
18:45
Speaker 2: we're looking at a week or two. It's not gonna
18:48
Speaker 2: happen quickly. Unfortunately, as I've said before, the Trump administration
18:53
Speaker 2: did not think of this in advance. Canada is far away.
18:58
Speaker 2: I don't know much about the Canadian Navy. I don't
19:01
Speaker 2: know how well equipped they are, and I don't know
19:03
Speaker 2: where they are and you know, I doubt the Canadians
19:06
Speaker 2: are helping. And I don't have any jokes. I'm sure
19:09
Speaker 2: they are some good Canadian jokes about Canada helping, but
19:14
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't know of any. All right, So
19:20
Speaker 2: that is that is a map. I love maps, you know,
19:26
Speaker 2: just orience me. It gives me perspective. I know where
19:29
Speaker 2: everything is and given them ount of information wall bombarded
19:33
Speaker 2: with and data wall bombarded with, and names of cities
19:36
Speaker 2: we've never been to. It's really helpful to just pull
19:39
Speaker 2: out a map and Google Maps makes it so easy.
19:43
Speaker 2: And you can put in Tabreez, where is that? Oh,
19:45
Speaker 2: now I know where it is. I can see it this, Oh, Tehran,
19:48
Speaker 2: that's where Tehran is? Isuals all the way over there.
19:53
Speaker 2: You get such a better sense, better sense of where
19:59
Speaker 2: all of this is. So yes, the movement open up,
20:04
Speaker 2: the straight of commors continues. It's slow. It's primarily slow
20:09
Speaker 2: because it wasn't planned in advance in a smart way.
20:14
Speaker 2: You know, Trump didn't engage with the Allies, whether immediately
20:18
Speaker 2: before or even in the first couple of days of this.
20:22
Speaker 2: I think he thought it would go much faster. I
20:24
Speaker 2: think he he thought he would need them, and as
20:27
Speaker 2: a consequence, he doesn't get them. It takes a long
20:33
Speaker 2: time for them to show up, and that is going
20:35
Speaker 2: to slow things down, throw sticks down significantly. You know
20:41
Speaker 2: they're saying that. You know, soon they're going to be
20:44
Speaker 2: seven thousand marines and about three thousand paratroopers. And then
20:50
Speaker 2: on top of that, that's the day sick enable and
20:53
Speaker 2: on top of that you got special forces. All of
20:56
Speaker 2: those are going to be in the Arabian Sea and
20:59
Speaker 2: in Saudi Arai be an various American bases around there.
21:05
Speaker 2: You could see those forces deployed either to the islands
21:10
Speaker 2: or maybe even just to the coastal area. They might
21:14
Speaker 2: take the coast, push the Iranian forces back so they
21:18
Speaker 2: have no access to the waterway and just control the waters,
21:24
Speaker 2: control the you know, the access to the gulf. It'll
21:29
Speaker 2: be interesting to see exactly what happens now. It could
21:32
Speaker 2: be that they go for Cog Island and they control
21:36
Speaker 2: all exports for the Uranians. But they could fake them
21:39
Speaker 2: out and instead of doing that, they could go for
21:43
Speaker 2: just taking taking actual land in Iran. Along the coast.
21:52
Speaker 2: You could also see paratroopers, special forces teams trying to
21:57
Speaker 2: get the uranium out, so they could also be going
22:00
Speaker 2: to the uranium site. So the next few days are
22:03
Speaker 2: going to be interesting, given how many troops are now
22:08
Speaker 2: available to Central Command, the command in the area. You know,
22:15
Speaker 2: up until now, all they had was an air force
22:17
Speaker 2: and navy assets. Now they have boots on the ground
22:20
Speaker 2: if you will. Uh, And they have some of the
22:23
Speaker 2: most elite soldiers in the US Army, the eighty second Airborne,
22:27
Speaker 2: and the Marines are on the way. Three thousand already there.
22:30
Speaker 2: You've got another four thousand on the way. The Marines
22:34
Speaker 2: can also do an amphibious landing. They'll have the boats
22:37
Speaker 2: to do that. So yeah, and more and more stories
22:41
Speaker 2: are coming out about the UK leading the effort to
22:44
Speaker 2: open up the straits. That is, that is going to
22:46
Speaker 2: be That is going to be interesting. All right, Let's
22:52
Speaker 2: see anything else before I go to the negotiations. Yep,
23:05
Speaker 2: all right, So a lot of a lot of stuff
23:09
Speaker 2: could be happening in the hours and days to come.
23:14
Speaker 2: And in the meantime there's all this talk about negotiations,
23:19
Speaker 2: and again Trump goes keeps talking about, oh, they want
23:22
Speaker 2: to talk, they want to deal, they want to deal.
23:24
Speaker 2: They've they've come to us, say, you know, and the
23:27
Speaker 2: Ranians keep saying no, no, no, we didn't come to anybody.
23:30
Speaker 2: We didn't want to deal. We don't want anything. And know,
23:32
Speaker 2: the Uranians are basically saying that they are four conditions
23:37
Speaker 2: for any deal with the United States. One guarantees against
23:41
Speaker 2: future military action. Two compensation for wartime losses you know,
23:47
Speaker 2: three four more control of the states of homos and
23:51
Speaker 2: for no limitations and missiles. I mean that would basically
23:56
Speaker 2: be an American surrender. Agree to those deals. So it's
24:00
Speaker 2: how to believe that any of that will be agreed upon?
24:03
Speaker 2: So what deal? And again, this could be all ahead
24:09
Speaker 2: fake by Trump. I think it's just a way fame
24:12
Speaker 2: to get out of his ultimatum. He doesn't want to
24:16
Speaker 2: bomb the power infrastructure in Iran, he doesn't want to
24:22
Speaker 2: destroy the civilian infrastructure. So over the weekend stories are
24:26
Speaker 2: saying that the various leaders in the Gulf called him
24:31
Speaker 2: up and said, no, no, don't bomb the power structure,
24:35
Speaker 2: the electric power. I mean, what happens if there's regime
24:38
Speaker 2: change and then there's still no electricity and it'll make
24:41
Speaker 2: everything more expensive or more difficult. So they're encouraging not
24:44
Speaker 2: to do it. So yeah, it's it's going to be.
24:51
Speaker 2: It's going to be interesting to see what happens in
24:55
Speaker 2: the next few days in terms of the use of
24:59
Speaker 2: the ground horses. There are stories also right now that
25:03
Speaker 2: B one B one B bombers, These are the heavy
25:06
Speaker 2: bombers that carry big, the big bunker busting bombs, as
25:12
Speaker 2: well as B two's, which carry the biggest bomb that
25:16
Speaker 2: we have a bombing are engaged right now in uh
25:23
Speaker 2: in dropping bust bunker buster bombs on the yazid Uh
25:30
Speaker 2: Mountain where the Mythile base is deep in the mountain,
25:35
Speaker 2: and they have they have railroads running inside the mountains
25:38
Speaker 2: to move themselves uh and and to deploy them. So
25:42
Speaker 2: the United States and Israel have been trying to bomb
25:44
Speaker 2: this facility for a while now. Uh The bombs won't penetrate,
25:48
Speaker 2: but they can block the entrances. And I think what
25:51
Speaker 2: they're trying to do is just pile them on and bombing,
25:53
Speaker 2: bomb and bomb, thus trying to make it impossible for
25:57
Speaker 2: them to use this base. All right, it's according to
26:04
Speaker 2: again the Pentagon. Pentagon has planning to deploy a brigade
26:07
Speaker 2: combat team from the Army's Elite eighty second Airborne Division
26:12
Speaker 2: the Middle East to support operations written order to deploy
26:17
Speaker 2: is expected in the coming hours. The eighty second Airborne
26:21
Speaker 2: Combat Brigade serves as Armies emergency response force, can be
26:25
Speaker 2: deployed anywhere in the world in under twenty four hours.
26:27
Speaker 2: They train in particular intos. They trained to parachute into
26:31
Speaker 2: hostile and contested territory to secure airfields and lands. The
26:35
Speaker 2: brigade would be deployed along with division headquarters. Interesting, I
26:40
Speaker 2: can't remember when the last time the United States used paratroopers.
26:49
Speaker 2: You know, maybe some of you know military history, but
26:51
Speaker 2: I don't think. I don't think ever since the Vietnam War,
26:54
Speaker 2: and I don't know about the Vietnam War, have they
26:57
Speaker 2: used paratroopers. It'd be interesting if they do. If they do. Anyway,
27:06
Speaker 2: right now, the the you know, missile base of the
27:11
Speaker 2: Iranian is being pounded supposedly by uh, you know US,
27:16
Speaker 2: the US's biggest bombs that are conventional weapons that the
27:20
Speaker 2: US has. Yeah, all right, well we're gonna see what happens.
27:28
Speaker 2: There's a there's a bunch of different things that these
27:30
Speaker 2: land forces that the eighty second can do. Uh And
27:34
Speaker 2: as we said, the the British Navy, the British Navy
27:40
Speaker 2: is on the way to open up the the Straits
27:43
Speaker 2: of Homos, so nobody has to worry about anything anymore.
27:47
Speaker 2: Everything will be good, Everything will be good. UH, all right,
27:52
Speaker 2: it is all continues to pound Iran, that continues, UH NonStop.
27:58
Speaker 2: Also over the weekend. UH. The UH. The stories are
28:03
Speaker 2: that the uh, you know, the Crown Prince of Saudi
28:06
Speaker 2: Arabia NBS, was on the phone with Trump several times
28:11
Speaker 2: basically urging him not to cut a deal with the Iranians,
28:15
Speaker 2: not to bomb the power facility, but not to cut
28:18
Speaker 2: a deal and to finish this U you know, the
28:21
Speaker 2: the NBS supposedly it is saying, this is a once
28:24
Speaker 2: in a lifetime opportunity that we will now get back
28:28
Speaker 2: to to actually change the Middle East in significant ways,
28:32
Speaker 2: to eliminate an enemy of Saudi Arabia, of of of
28:36
Speaker 2: all these Arab countries, UH, and to uh and you know,
28:41
Speaker 2: to to eliminate the terrorist threat, the share terrort threat.
28:45
Speaker 2: So you know, I hope that's true. Of course, the
28:49
Speaker 2: Saudis are denying it. Why would they deny it, because
28:54
Speaker 2: it's not clearly the Saudi people as pro American, potentially
28:59
Speaker 2: even pro Israel then as as the leadership is right.
29:04
Speaker 2: NBS is probably way ahead in terms of his support
29:08
Speaker 2: of the West and the United States, then the Saudi people.
29:14
Speaker 2: So he to the Saudi people, he's pretending to be
29:17
Speaker 2: a peacemaker. No, let's compromise this kind of deal, But
29:21
Speaker 2: in private, he wants this Iranian regime crushed. Saudi Arabia
29:26
Speaker 2: also has a significant minority of Shiites. Sheites is the
29:31
Speaker 2: part of Islam that is Iranian that the Iranians adhere towards,
29:36
Speaker 2: and the Shiites live the she Heites in Saudi Arabia
29:42
Speaker 2: live where the oil is. The last thing Saudi Arabia
29:47
Speaker 2: wants is some kind of shite uprising in the oil
29:50
Speaker 2: district of Saudi Arabia. So he doesn't want to piss
29:53
Speaker 2: them off, so he's playing nice. At the same time,
29:57
Speaker 2: other people within Saudi Arabia threatening that they will start
30:00
Speaker 2: using their weapons. And that's a good question. Are the
30:03
Speaker 2: Gulf Arabs, the Bahraines, the Katari's, the UAE, the Saudis, Nomani's,
30:12
Speaker 2: any of them willing to actually go fight now? I
30:17
Speaker 2: hope that they're willing to help open up the straits
30:20
Speaker 2: of Homos. They all have navies, I mean Saudi Arabas
30:25
Speaker 2: spends like twice as much on defense as Iran. Saudi
30:30
Speaker 2: Arabia has super advanced American weapons systems. There's advanced at fifteen's,
30:38
Speaker 2: it has sixteens. Why is it Saudi Araba helping out
30:43
Speaker 2: with the bombing of Iran? Why isn't the Saudi Arabia
30:45
Speaker 2: helping out with You know, Saudi Arabia's under attack. Drones
30:51
Speaker 2: and missiles are launch against them all the time. Again,
30:54
Speaker 2: they don't want to alienate they Shia population, but the
30:58
Speaker 2: presenting themselves is really weak. They spend Saudi spent eighty
31:04
Speaker 2: billion dollars a year on their defense industry, and yet
31:09
Speaker 2: they're not using it. Not using it. The UEE has
31:14
Speaker 2: an advanced and experienced their force. Again with F sixteen's,
31:20
Speaker 2: they could fly anyway in Iran because there's no way
31:22
Speaker 2: defense systems in Iran. They use US made jets with
31:26
Speaker 2: US trained pilots and US made munitions. Why aren't they
31:30
Speaker 2: flying over the Homo Straits and taking out Iranian targets.
31:36
Speaker 2: I mean, if the Gulf States actually joined Israel and
31:40
Speaker 2: the United States, this war would be fast and quicker.
31:44
Speaker 2: But that's exactly the point. They're not doing it. Because
31:46
Speaker 2: they do not want to be perceived on the site
31:48
Speaker 2: of Israel, particularly the Saudi's, so they choose to just
31:54
Speaker 2: play defense. Just play defense, all right. Yeah, So one
32:06
Speaker 2: other aspect of this war worth pointing out. I mean,
32:10
Speaker 2: there's a lot of criticism of the Europeans, and you know,
32:13
Speaker 2: you can never criticize the Europeans enough, So I'm on
32:15
Speaker 2: four criticizing Europeans, it's always cool to do so. But
32:20
Speaker 2: if this story is true, but the UK leading a
32:23
Speaker 2: mission to open up the Straits and foremost, that is fantastic.
32:26
Speaker 2: But it's also important to note that the US is
32:30
Speaker 2: extensively using its bases in Europe. So central command for
32:37
Speaker 2: all US operations against Iran is not in the Middle East.
32:41
Speaker 2: It's actually inside the Ramstein Air Base in Germany. US
32:46
Speaker 2: drone operations are coordinated basically out of the same Air
32:52
Speaker 2: Force base in Germany. American aircraft was stationed in Spain.
32:58
Speaker 2: Spain didn't want them operating out of there being relocated,
33:02
Speaker 2: so they're now in France and Germany, and they're flying
33:06
Speaker 2: from France and Germany to attack Iran. Bamba aircraft, the
33:13
Speaker 2: B twos to be ones to be fifty twos are
33:16
Speaker 2: flying out of an air base in the UK. RIF
33:20
Speaker 2: Fairford refueling operations all based out of an Aviano air
33:26
Speaker 2: base in Italy and Tube air Base in France. There's
33:32
Speaker 2: another air base, big air base in the Azores, which
33:36
Speaker 2: is part of Portugal, but west of Portugal Islands, the
33:40
Speaker 2: Azos Islands. They are that air force base is a
33:44
Speaker 2: major logistical hub between the US and Europe. Dozens of
33:49
Speaker 2: aircraft are stationed there at various times, going back and
33:52
Speaker 2: forth despite planes that are flying a flying out of
33:58
Speaker 2: crete that is Greece. And then you've got a significant
34:05
Speaker 2: presence of logistics and intelligent assets and an force base
34:10
Speaker 2: in Romania. So it is interesting that you know, the
34:15
Speaker 2: United States is using the Fos basis all over Europe. Interesting,
34:20
Speaker 2: Poland said no, A number of countries said no, but
34:23
Speaker 2: you've got a number of countries that said yes. It
34:26
Speaker 2: would be very difficult to execute this war without NATO.
34:30
Speaker 2: Not NATO fighting along your side, but NATO letting you
34:34
Speaker 2: use NATO force bases all over Europe. So you know,
34:39
Speaker 2: US has a strategic interest in having operations in Europe,
34:45
Speaker 2: and it probably has a strategic interest even beyond Russia
34:49
Speaker 2: in being a member of NATO in spite of that.
34:54
Speaker 2: So anyway, a lot of use of European facilities in
34:58
Speaker 2: spite of Europeans. This is not our or hesitancy and
35:02
Speaker 2: all of that. You know. Again, Iran is still sending missiles,
35:09
Speaker 2: some of them are falling in the direction of Israel.
35:12
Speaker 2: The Saudis are knocking down a lot of missiles. Interestingly enough,
35:16
Speaker 2: you know, the the Lebanese today announced that they were
35:19
Speaker 2: kicking out the Iranian ambassador in protest for what Iran
35:23
Speaker 2: is doing and the influence it has on Risbola in Lebanon.
35:27
Speaker 2: So they said they're kicking out the Iranian ambassador. Iran,
35:31
Speaker 2: it appears, launched in retaliation a missile towards b Roots,
35:37
Speaker 2: a missile that was intercepted, probably by a naval asset,
35:42
Speaker 2: either Israeli or American or French, probably French, actually off
35:47
Speaker 2: the coast of Lebanon. Fragments fell in a neighborhood in
35:52
Speaker 2: b Roots, So the Iranians actually even friving at Lebanon
35:57
Speaker 2: at another country the list of us that the Ranians
36:01
Speaker 2: are fired at. By the way, when the fragments landed,
36:05
Speaker 2: the Lebanese were furious at the Shiites, who support Grisabella.
36:11
Speaker 2: So Gzbela is very very very unpopular right now in
36:16
Speaker 2: in Lebanon, all right, all of that is going on.
36:20
Speaker 2: So there's a ton of going on. Israel is striking
36:23
Speaker 2: in Tehran and Tabreeze in Istafan, in Badharah, bas So
36:27
Speaker 2: it is all striking in the south. You know, maybe
36:29
Speaker 2: that's the US, maybe that's not Israel. And and also
36:33
Speaker 2: there any kind of missile infrastructures, factories, any kind of
36:38
Speaker 2: labs that are associated with missiles or with nuclear are
36:42
Speaker 2: being struck uh and Israel at the same time continues
36:47
Speaker 2: its land operation in south Lebanon, moving further north towards
36:50
Speaker 2: the lee Tani River to take it over. All right.
36:58
Speaker 2: So that is kind of the status of the war,
37:02
Speaker 2: you know, back and forth. Nothing really new, No indications
37:08
Speaker 2: that there's going to be any real negotiations between the
37:11
Speaker 2: United States and Iran, no indications Iran is willing to
37:14
Speaker 2: compromise at all about and no indications they're willing to
37:19
Speaker 2: accept America's terms. There's clearly seems to be a power
37:23
Speaker 2: struggle within Iran. They've appointed somebody to replace Love and
37:28
Speaker 2: Johnny not the guy has said a few days ago,
37:30
Speaker 2: to replace him somebody else is replacing him. But the
37:33
Speaker 2: people that are picking to replace senior positions are really
37:39
Speaker 2: old that like in the seventies and eighties, people who
37:43
Speaker 2: used to be part of the Islamk Evolutionary God core
37:49
Speaker 2: and they're bringing back. And a lot of that is
37:52
Speaker 2: because how thin they are. Might remember Israel killed a
37:57
Speaker 2: lot of i ges see senior people in the June War,
38:04
Speaker 2: and then they've killed a bunch more this war, and
38:08
Speaker 2: at some point it's just it just gets thin. And
38:12
Speaker 2: of course a lot of people don't want to be
38:16
Speaker 2: senior in the IGC because it's kind of a death sentence.
38:22
Speaker 2: You don't last very long. So yeah, it's interesting. It
38:32
Speaker 2: will again no more as time goes by. But it's
38:34
Speaker 2: interesting to think about what's going on in Iran right now,
38:37
Speaker 2: what's actually going on in the Islamic Revolutionary God and
38:43
Speaker 2: and and to what extent there is a real lead
38:46
Speaker 2: out to what extent is uniformity. Remember, the Supreme Leader,
38:50
Speaker 2: the son of the previous one, has not been seen,
38:53
Speaker 2: not being seen since the war began. He's not being
38:57
Speaker 2: seen since he became Supreme Leader. You know, the messages
39:01
Speaker 2: have been read from him, but he has not made
39:04
Speaker 2: an appearance, and it's not even clear he's conscious. So
39:07
Speaker 2: he's injured and we don't know how severely, we don't
39:10
Speaker 2: know if he's conscious anyway, pretty pretty bad, all right.
39:15
Speaker 2: That is the war lots is going to happen, particularly
39:19
Speaker 2: if we get if you get boots in the ground
39:21
Speaker 2: in the days to come. So I'll be monitoring and
39:25
Speaker 2: letting you know. All right, I've got a pretty lengthy
39:32
Speaker 2: bit here from Tucker Calson. And and look, the reason
39:37
Speaker 2: I keep coming back to Tucker Causon is he still
39:39
Speaker 2: has millions of views, right, he still has millions of
39:42
Speaker 2: people following him, he still has disproportionate influence, he still
39:47
Speaker 2: has good friends with Jade Vans. He's a man that
39:50
Speaker 2: needs to be constantly, constantly made fun of, repudiated, shown
39:56
Speaker 2: to be the nutcase that he really is. And and
40:00
Speaker 2: just his ideas are absolutely unequivocally insane and evil evil.
40:06
Speaker 2: I think it's it's important to note that they are
40:09
Speaker 2: indeed evil. Uh So I've got this five minute clip,
40:15
Speaker 2: and I was going to do several clips. So actually
40:18
Speaker 2: this five minute clips includes all the clips I wanted
40:20
Speaker 2: to do. I mean, the ones on America, the ones
40:23
Speaker 2: are sure yellow and the one on on finance. They're
40:25
Speaker 2: all in here. It's not the World War two one.
40:27
Speaker 2: The World War two one I talked about already. This
40:30
Speaker 2: is one about about how wonderful Islamic countries are in
40:35
Speaker 2: the horrible America is. So we're gonna we're gonna analyze
40:39
Speaker 2: this clip. It's five minutes long, so it is a
40:41
Speaker 2: little long. I apologize for that. You get it to
40:43
Speaker 2: stuff a Tucker costs them for five minutes. It's it's
40:46
Speaker 2: it is a little unbearable. But how he says unbelievable
40:51
Speaker 2: things here, things that I think I now see filtering
40:54
Speaker 2: out there, and I see more and more people influenced
40:58
Speaker 2: by tucka and and and you know, repeating his lines.
41:03
Speaker 2: He is really really really still really really really influential,
41:08
Speaker 2: and people still have him on their shows, so he
41:12
Speaker 2: keeps his audience, just doesn't shrink it in a sense,
41:16
Speaker 2: it gets bigger, and people keep platforming him. Here is
41:22
Speaker 2: on somebody's show. I don't know who this guy is.
41:25
Speaker 2: He seems he doesn't seem particularly smart, So I don't
41:28
Speaker 2: know who this is. I don't really care. We're here
41:30
Speaker 2: for Tucker. So let's let's listen in and I will
41:35
Speaker 2: stop it periodically. I'll try not to do it every
41:37
Speaker 2: nine seconds because we really do need to get through
41:41
Speaker 2: the whole five minutes. But I will remind you before
41:45
Speaker 2: we get started. This is a great opportunity to ask
41:47
Speaker 2: questions about anything. It's a great opportunity to support the show.
41:52
Speaker 2: With the sticker. It's reminder that we do have targets
41:58
Speaker 2: that we have to raise each show to make these

Speaker 2: ranking or whatever it is. All right, here's the cook aws.
42:28
Speaker 1: And I travel so much that I see it. There's
42:31
Speaker 1: not a single Western city that's thriving.
42:35
Speaker 2: There's not a single Western.
42:37
Speaker 1: Degrading in exactly the same way there's.
42:39
Speaker 2: A city that's thriving. They're all degrading in the same way,
42:43
Speaker 2: all of not a single city in the West that's thriving.
42:52
Speaker 2: So Austin, Texas is not thriving, Memphis not thriving, even
42:57
Speaker 2: though when I go there, I see lots of construction,
43:01
Speaker 2: lots of thriving going along, lots of increased productivity, increased growth.
43:10
Speaker 2: Of course, for him, New York is not thriving. San
43:13
Speaker 2: Francisco is not thriving, even though San Francisco is doing
43:15
Speaker 2: so much better than it was post COVID that it's
43:20
Speaker 2: almost thriving. You know, Phoenix is not thriving. You know.
43:26
Speaker 2: I'm thinking of cities around the country that seemed to
43:29
Speaker 2: me like they're thriving, and in Western countries, so I
43:34
Speaker 2: don't know, Lisbon still relatively poor, but you know, relatively thriving.
43:41
Speaker 2: You know, no city in the Western world is thriving.
43:46
Speaker 2: Like it's all depressing and sick and sad, and I
43:49
Speaker 2: mean and of course, yeah, according to Tucka, Moscow is
43:52
Speaker 2: of posset thriving. He loved Moscow, which is unbelievable to me,
43:55
Speaker 2: because that was the most depressing city I've ever been to,
43:57
Speaker 2: the most least thriving place of it to And I've
44:00
Speaker 2: been to a lot of places, maybe not as much
44:02
Speaker 2: as Tucca, although maybe more, and not the same place
44:07
Speaker 2: as Tucka. Have not been to all these places in
44:09
Speaker 2: the Middle East. I don't need to go. But but
44:13
Speaker 2: I've been to a lot of places all over the world,
44:16
Speaker 2: and yeah, I wouldn't say no city in the US.
44:21
Speaker 2: They've all got problems. Cities are run by democrats who
44:26
Speaker 2: doing stupid things. They've all got problems. But to say
44:29
Speaker 2: none of them are thriving is pretty amazing. And then
44:32
Speaker 2: when he compares them to what is he considers thriving,
44:36
Speaker 2: it's a lot of it just a moral decay, or
44:38
Speaker 2: is it actually true?
44:39
Speaker 1: It's a lot of things, but it's self hatred. Every
44:42
Speaker 1: city crazy, every European city, every American city. It's just
44:44
Speaker 1: why people lose their their will to live, their will
44:48
Speaker 1: to pass on their culture, their values, their religions, their children,
44:51
Speaker 1: their their will to have children, that's all gone.
44:53
Speaker 2: So but aside the children thing, But you guys, notice
44:58
Speaker 2: how everybody's walking around own American cities in a complete
45:02
Speaker 2: and utter self hatred, complete self hatred. They hate they
45:05
Speaker 2: hate themselves, they hate their values, they hate the world
45:08
Speaker 2: around them. They you know, it's just it's just pity,
45:10
Speaker 2: it's just awful, it's just horrible. Now, It's true they're
45:13
Speaker 2: not having kids, but we're are having kids. He'll mention
45:16
Speaker 2: Tokyo later as an example of a positive place. Not
45:19
Speaker 2: having kids in Tokyo. So if that's the measure, and
45:22
Speaker 2: even in these Arab countries that he so admires, that
45:25
Speaker 2: he'll talk about in a minute, that he so loves,
45:30
Speaker 2: you know, a number of children is coming down. Now.
45:32
Speaker 2: You know, one man has many more than one wife.
45:37
Speaker 2: So you know, every man has a lot of kids,
45:39
Speaker 2: but pro woman is down. And of course, but you know,
45:44
Speaker 2: the standard of having children is the standard goodness, I guess.
45:48
Speaker 2: Although again Moscow, wooh, Moscow. If you ever looked at
45:51
Speaker 2: the birth rates in Moscow, very very very low. People
45:57
Speaker 2: do not have children in Moscow to the extent that
46:01
Speaker 2: Russia has very very low birth rates and they're not
46:06
Speaker 2: They would be even lower if he took out all
46:10
Speaker 2: the ethnic communities, right, Moscow is like the most probably
46:15
Speaker 2: the most diverse country in Europe in terms of ethnic groups.
46:21
Speaker 2: I think that's true. That would shock Tucka because he
46:23
Speaker 2: considers that this amazing white place. It's a white place
46:27
Speaker 2: Russia where real whiteskill, and yet they have a huge
46:32
Speaker 2: percentage of population as Muslim. If all these ethnic groups
46:36
Speaker 2: in the east and in the south, that are significant,
46:39
Speaker 2: and it's the whites that are not heavy kids. It's
46:43
Speaker 2: the whites that are leaving and going anywhere but Russia.
46:48
Speaker 2: So go on.
46:51
Speaker 1: I mean it's not gone with everybody, but I mean
46:53
Speaker 1: in the cities, you really see it. It's like the
46:56
Speaker 1: people who built this are long gone and their descendants
46:59
Speaker 1: have fled and they don't care enough to keep it going.
47:02
Speaker 1: There's just a lack of self respect that is disgusting
47:06
Speaker 1: to me, and I have contempt for it. I don't.
47:09
Speaker 1: It doesn't bother me to be hated. What really bothers
47:12
Speaker 1: me is when people hate themselves.
47:14
Speaker 2: Do you really get a sense that Americans hate themselves?
47:17
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot of hatred in America. There's
47:19
Speaker 2: a lot of resentment in America. There's a lot of
47:21
Speaker 2: anger and fear, and you know, there's a lot of
47:23
Speaker 2: things that you could that you could really accuse America of,
47:28
Speaker 2: but that they hate themselves. Now. It's true. Europe is
47:31
Speaker 2: riddled with guilt, a guilt associated with colonialism and all
47:35
Speaker 2: kinds of other stuff that they want to feel guilty about.
47:38
Speaker 2: But I don't get a sense of self hatred in America.
47:44
Speaker 2: Some extent in Europe, but even with that, I mean,
47:48
Speaker 2: are Europes city is that bad? Like I spent somemmers
47:52
Speaker 2: in Lisbon, to spend somemmers in Lisbon and in Barcelona,
47:57
Speaker 2: and I'm really critic critical about the politics, particularly if Spain.
48:01
Speaker 2: And yet it was incredibly you know, nice to be
48:06
Speaker 2: in Barcelona friendly. You know, people seem pretty happy. The restaurants.
48:11
Speaker 2: You know, food is great. People are packing the restaurants.
48:14
Speaker 2: This used to be a certain vibrancy. It's not the
48:17
Speaker 2: excitement of of a of a of a you know
48:21
Speaker 2: some places in Asia, let's say, but they're not walking
48:25
Speaker 2: around moping around around self hatred. That's imposing your politics
48:31
Speaker 2: and your your ideology on what is going on in
48:34
Speaker 2: these cities.
48:35
Speaker 1: If you hate as well, if you hate yourself, how
48:38
Speaker 1: are you gonna treat me? That's correct?
48:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's no question self hatred is awful,
48:43
Speaker 2: but it's self hatud. Really what is killing America? Is
48:46
Speaker 2: that the dominant thing that's going on in America?
48:52
Speaker 1: Oh? Man, I don't like it, so you and you
48:54
Speaker 1: I've noticed it because I travel outside the Western world
48:59
Speaker 1: the way I'll just be honest, the White world travel
49:02
Speaker 1: a lot in the Middle East.
49:04
Speaker 2: He travels in the Middle East. I mean, he's a globalist,
49:07
Speaker 2: don't you think like like he keeps giving these examples
49:10
Speaker 2: about traveling and stuff. I don't know. I thought you
49:13
Speaker 2: weren't supposed to do that. You're supposed to stay in America.
49:16
Speaker 2: This is, this is, this is where it's at.
49:18
Speaker 1: It's amazing. It's amazing.
49:20
Speaker 2: The Middle East is amazing.
49:21
Speaker 1: In fact, I'm like Christian, you know, flat out Christian,
49:25
Speaker 1: and my ancestors are from Europe.
49:27
Speaker 2: It's right, He's he keeps saying this, he's the White world.
49:31
Speaker 2: His ancestors off from Europe, Europe. He's emphasizing, don't you
49:35
Speaker 2: forget it, My ansistor from Europe, and I'm a Christian.
49:41
Speaker 2: And yet he's in love with the Middle East. He's
49:43
Speaker 2: in love with countries, with these Arab countries.
49:49
Speaker 1: And so I'm not I have nothing in common on
49:52
Speaker 1: that level with the golf. But you go to the
49:56
Speaker 1: golf and that's incredible. To be in a place that
49:59
Speaker 1: has pride in.
50:01
Speaker 2: Itself, that it has pride in itself. Why what is
50:07
Speaker 2: the basis for any pride they might have? What have
50:11
Speaker 2: they achieved? What have they done? They basically are rich
50:17
Speaker 2: for only one reason. I mean literally only one reason,
50:21
Speaker 2: and that is because of oil and natural gas. And
50:27
Speaker 2: why do oil and natural gas have any value? Why
50:31
Speaker 2: do oil and gas make you rich? Because the industrial world,
50:38
Speaker 2: I would argue the civilized world, the western world, and
50:44
Speaker 2: I include here Southeast Asia, is industrialized and consumes that
50:50
Speaker 2: oil and that natural gas. Somebodies don't need that much
50:54
Speaker 2: oil because they don't produce much. The Kataris don't need
50:58
Speaker 2: all the natural gas they have because they produce basically nothing.
51:04
Speaker 2: Americans need it because we actually make stuff and use
51:09
Speaker 2: stuff and live and have a civilization. The only reason
51:15
Speaker 2: they're rich is because of a capitalism that they didn't invent.
51:21
Speaker 2: The only reason they're rich is because the rest of
51:23
Speaker 2: the world builds stuff. They don't. They don't build anything.
51:29
Speaker 2: They build skyscrapers because there's a rich they can spend
51:33
Speaker 2: their money anyway they want, so they hire mostly Western
51:39
Speaker 2: architects to build skyscrapers in their countries. The only reason
51:46
Speaker 2: they're rich is because they freeride off of them. Massive
51:52
Speaker 2: achievements of the West. How many oil refineries to the
51:59
Speaker 2: Saudi build based on Saudi technology, whatever the hell that is? No,
52:06
Speaker 2: they got fonn contractors based on foreign technology to build
52:10
Speaker 2: the fine news the oil wells. I mean, who discovered
52:13
Speaker 2: oil in Saudi Arabia and ran in all these places
52:16
Speaker 2: in the Gulf, American, British, French companies who bought the
52:22
Speaker 2: technology to bid to pump that oil out of the ground,
52:24
Speaker 2: and who built and move it around in pipelines and
52:28
Speaker 2: build WestEd and then they stole it and then the
52:33
Speaker 2: West kept coming back and they cooperate and sold them
52:36
Speaker 2: their services. So what exactly did they have to be
52:42
Speaker 2: proud of the fact that they happened to be born
52:46
Speaker 2: with oil in the ground. That is a point of pride. Hey,
52:49
Speaker 2: look I got ail in the ground. Aunt I amazing
52:53
Speaker 2: human being? Noe, what have you done? So you know
53:04
Speaker 2: I've so this pride that he has it's a fake now,
53:11
Speaker 2: It's true. A place in Dubai, in particular, has embraced
53:16
Speaker 2: certain Western values that have made it prosper and rich
53:20
Speaker 2: beyond the oil and a place where a lot of
53:22
Speaker 2: Europeans go to to a large extent because they've turned
53:28
Speaker 2: it back on their own culture and embraced Western ideas.
53:33
Speaker 2: You know, let's keep going.
53:35
Speaker 1: Him precidence, religion and culture that things were on. We're
53:37
Speaker 1: onto something and this is great, look at what we're doing.
53:39
Speaker 1: We're really proud of this. Those people are happy, they're
53:43
Speaker 1: welcoming of others, they're tolerant of diversity.
53:46
Speaker 2: Again, Notice we'll get to palants diversity. Notice they're building
53:51
Speaker 2: something that they're proud of. But to the extent that
53:54
Speaker 2: they're building something and that they have a culture that
53:56
Speaker 2: they're proud of the things that they're building. And the
53:58
Speaker 2: culture that they're building is Western. It's not Arab, it's
54:04
Speaker 2: Western architecture, it's Western finance. They're encouraging Western financiers and
54:12
Speaker 2: hitch fun guys and startups and others to come and
54:15
Speaker 2: live there, and they're creating a Western en clay for them.
54:20
Speaker 2: Like for example, that's one example. If you go to
54:25
Speaker 2: yue and I think this is true of Kata, but
54:27
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, but certainly in Uee there are lots
54:32
Speaker 2: of bars serve alcohol that's not Muslim, that's anti Sharia.
54:40
Speaker 2: Sharia law bans alcohol, and yet the ue yellows it.
54:45
Speaker 2: So what exactly what are we talking about? And right
54:49
Speaker 2: now they need the West to defend them. They need
54:52
Speaker 2: Western technology, they need Western airplanes, they need Western pilots
54:57
Speaker 2: to defend them.
55:00
Speaker 1: He's tolerant of diversity. There's none of that here, are
55:03
Speaker 1: you kidding? All the whites? Oh we love black people.
55:06
Speaker 1: Now they run and move to Bozeman because they're no white.
55:09
Speaker 2: And their kids to the.
55:12
Speaker 1: Diversity and our version of it isn't working at all.
55:16
Speaker 2: So Insadi baby, they love diversity, absolutely love diversity. Really,
55:23
Speaker 2: I mean, this is so sickening it turns my stomach
55:28
Speaker 2: because the problem is the Tucker's audience doesn't know any better.
55:33
Speaker 2: They do not know any better. So when he says
55:37
Speaker 2: you know, he'll he'll say so.
55:39
Speaker 1: But you go to a country like Japan or the
55:42
Speaker 1: Emirates or Japan, and you see that that when people
55:47
Speaker 1: are self confident, when they're really pleased with what they're
55:50
Speaker 1: doing and they believe that their system is the right system,
55:54
Speaker 1: that self confidence results in a kind of welcoming attitude.
56:00
Speaker 1: You'll be sitting at dinner in riadd Saudi Arabia and
56:05
Speaker 1: you'll say, you know, I'm really kind of pro Jesus,
56:08
Speaker 1: like I'm a Christian, and they're like, oh, that's so great.
56:10
Speaker 2: Yeah. Right, So here's the point. Right, if you're in
56:14
Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia and you're Saudi Arabian and you post online
56:21
Speaker 2: that you don't believe in God, You'll go to jail.
56:24
Speaker 2: That's how confident they are. That's how welcoming they are
56:27
Speaker 2: of diversity. See what people don't know that. And if
56:32
Speaker 2: you're a Muslim and if you convert to Christianity in
56:35
Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia, oh my god, your life is forfeit. I mean,
56:42
Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia is brutal to people who disagree. Sure, if
56:46
Speaker 2: you're a foreigner coming in a felligner they want to impress,
56:50
Speaker 2: a felligner they want to invest, then they're going to
56:55
Speaker 2: be super nice. I mean, they're fine with yous as
57:00
Speaker 2: long as you're coming to help them out. I know
57:02
Speaker 2: some of the investment bankers that help the Saudis take
57:05
Speaker 2: their company's public a Jews, and I'm sure the Saudis
57:08
Speaker 2: treat them well. But if you were a Jew in
57:12
Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia, eh, could you become a citizen of Saudi
57:17
Speaker 2: Arabia as a Jew or Christian? Can you go to
57:19
Speaker 2: Mecca and Medina as a Christian or Jew? And if
57:24
Speaker 2: you're a pagan, they put you to the sword. If
57:28
Speaker 2: you're an atheist, they put you to the sword. At least,
57:31
Speaker 2: if you're Christian, you share a belief in Jesus. The
57:34
Speaker 2: Muslims believe in Jesus. It's just so. I mean, the
57:42
Speaker 2: lies are so blatant. And Tucker's not ignorant. He knows
57:48
Speaker 2: his audience is ignorant. That's why I can get away
57:50
Speaker 2: with it. But he knows that this is complete bs.
57:58
Speaker 2: There's no diversity in stide Oudi Arabia. There's no tolerance
58:02
Speaker 2: in Saudi Arabia. And imagine being a woman in Saudi Arabia. Now, hey,
58:10
Speaker 2: you're cool because now they allow you to drive, but
58:15
Speaker 2: there's still so many things you cannot do as a
58:17
Speaker 2: woman in Saudi Arabia.
58:19
Speaker 1: Look it up.
58:22
Speaker 2: I mean, women still have to escape if they want
58:25
Speaker 2: to be independent, they want to live independently. I mean
58:31
Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia. You know, Yes, if you're a foreigner and
58:39
Speaker 2: rich and influential and you visit there, they will roll
58:42
Speaker 2: out the red carpet and they will treat you like, yeah,
58:46
Speaker 2: it will be amazing. But that's not Saudi culture. That's
58:52
Speaker 2: not what's really going on in the background. I mean,
58:56
Speaker 2: remember what they did to that wasn't a post journalist too,
59:00
Speaker 2: was writing negative things about the king a form of
59:03
Speaker 2: Saudi who was living in America, and they invited him
59:06
Speaker 2: to their embassy in Turkey and literally hacked him to death.
59:11
Speaker 2: They do that in Saudi Arabia and it's no big deal.
59:15
Speaker 2: And you know they used to not that long ago,
59:19
Speaker 2: stone adulter adulterers, stone them to death, lash people in public,
59:25
Speaker 2: execute apostates. Now they don't do that in the UEE.
59:33
Speaker 2: That's because they've all abandoned Sharia law. They don't practice
59:36
Speaker 2: Sharia law. They're being westernized. The things that are positive
59:42
Speaker 2: in these places are because they've been westernized, they've been civilized.
59:48
Speaker 2: They're abandoning Sharia and they and they don't have the
59:53
Speaker 2: same well they mean it, and they don't have the same.
59:55
Speaker 1: Believers a country governed by Sharia law, right, and they're
1:00:00
Speaker 1: like that's great, good for you, Yeah, it's great. And
1:00:02
Speaker 1: you notice like in the in Isis or al Qaeda,
1:00:06
Speaker 1: like the Muslim Muslim extremists, they're all from like collapsed,
1:00:11
Speaker 1: pathetic societies dominated by colonial powers.
1:00:16
Speaker 2: So notice here a few things. When he says extremists,
1:00:19
Speaker 2: he puts this thing quote escape quote scaremokx, Right, So
1:00:23
Speaker 2: they're not really excreme ice in a KaiA, they're not
1:00:25
Speaker 2: really extremists. And then all these countries are governed by
1:00:30
Speaker 2: sharia law. Sharia law means they stolee adulteresses, they lash people,
1:00:37
Speaker 2: they execute apostates, they cut off your hand for theft.
1:00:40
Speaker 2: That sharia law is that what he means by a
1:00:45
Speaker 2: beautiful place that's so pleasant to be in, and they're
1:00:47
Speaker 2: proud of their culture, and the culture is worthy of being proud?
1:00:52
Speaker 2: Is sharia law? What makes these places places you would
1:00:57
Speaker 2: want to visit? Or is it the exact opposite? The indeed,
1:01:02
Speaker 2: the negation of shiiella, the non existence of shiiela. And
1:01:04
Speaker 2: then he says, whoops, what did I do here? Whops?
1:01:08
Speaker 2: I screwed up?
1:01:09
Speaker 1: Kids, don't be funny. Yeah, yeah, it's great. And you notice,
1:01:13
Speaker 1: like in the in Isis or Hider, like the Muslim
1:01:17
Speaker 1: Muslim extremists, they're all from like collapsed, pathetic societies dominated
1:01:23
Speaker 1: by colonial powers.
1:01:25
Speaker 2: They so he's now bought into postcolonialism. He's bought into
1:01:31
Speaker 2: the entire agenda of the left. The only reason we
1:01:35
Speaker 2: have terrorists quote extremists is because they were dominated by
1:01:41
Speaker 2: the colonialists. That's what it is. Now. I'm curious which
1:01:45
Speaker 2: colonial power ruled over Saudi Arabia. Anybody know the history
1:01:51
Speaker 2: which colonial power ruled over Saudi Arabia. Who has ever
1:01:56
Speaker 2: ruled over Saudi Arabia? I mean, I mean for a
1:01:59
Speaker 2: while the Ottomans, maybe northern parts of Saudi Arabia, not
1:02:02
Speaker 2: the southern parts, the British for a very short period
1:02:06
Speaker 2: of time before they handed it over to the Soetwood family,
1:02:09
Speaker 2: who rules over there to this day. Nobody's I mean,
1:02:13
Speaker 2: what's he talking about bin Laden's family was ruled over colonialists?
1:02:19
Speaker 2: I mean, there's no he doesn't know history. Saudi Arabia,
1:02:23
Speaker 2: for example, It's not claim to me that Uee was
1:02:27
Speaker 2: ever under colonial rule. Again, maybe the Ottomans, but that's
1:02:31
Speaker 2: not what he means. He means colonial rule Westerners not.
1:02:34
Speaker 2: It's true Iraq and for a while, you know, Seba
1:02:38
Speaker 2: for a while, Egypt for a long time, but most
1:02:42
Speaker 2: of that region was ruled by the Ottomans. Muslims. Western
1:02:47
Speaker 2: powers had no influence in this part of the world.
1:02:51
Speaker 2: But this is all the left postcolonial bs that he's
1:02:55
Speaker 2: completely buying into, exactly what they say in leftist universities.
1:03:03
Speaker 2: And again is audience is too ignorant to know that
1:03:07
Speaker 2: so The terrorists don't hate us. They're just products of
1:03:10
Speaker 2: the fact that we did horrible things to them. No
1:03:12
Speaker 2: wonder we hate ourselves. We've done horrible things to the
1:03:15
Speaker 2: rest of the world. That's self help hatred, Tucker. It's
1:03:21
Speaker 2: for that colonial stuff that we did.
1:03:23
Speaker 1: Supposedly, they've been degraded, and that's why they're so angry
1:03:27
Speaker 1: by the West, by the West. So there's something about
1:03:29
Speaker 1: being degraded that turns you into a violent nutcase extremist.
1:03:33
Speaker 1: You're seeing a lot of violent nutcase extremists in our country.
1:03:35
Speaker 1: Not surprising because the country is being degraded.
1:03:38
Speaker 2: Correct.
1:03:38
Speaker 1: So in a country with self confidence, people are tolerant
1:03:41
Speaker 1: and open minded and happy.
1:03:43
Speaker 2: And yet those are the countries. So do you Aavia,
1:03:46
Speaker 2: for example, where all the terrorists ninete eleven came from.
1:03:49
Speaker 2: There's a contradiction here, you can see right it degrading
1:03:53
Speaker 2: leads to terrorists. But these countries are happy and proud
1:03:57
Speaker 2: and confidence and all this stuff. Then why do they
1:04:00
Speaker 2: use toasts? Isis is exactly from these countries.
1:04:07
Speaker 1: And in a country where people are told to hate themselves,
1:04:10
Speaker 1: they start to hate others. Duh, this is all very obvious.
1:04:14
Speaker 1: But I only know that because I've traveled a lot.
1:04:17
Speaker 2: He keeps saying that. That's like the third time he
1:04:19
Speaker 2: said that he travels a lot, So do I tucka
1:04:22
Speaker 2: So you're now gonna fool me. I've read a lot too,
1:04:25
Speaker 2: and I've traveled a lot, and I know a lot,
1:04:27
Speaker 2: and you're full of it, full of shit.
1:04:31
Speaker 1: And I am naturally open minded.
1:04:36
Speaker 2: Techa Collist. It is open minded is a good one
1:04:39
Speaker 2: because you don't do.
1:04:39
Speaker 1: It my way doesn't mean it's bad, Like I really
1:04:41
Speaker 1: feel that way. It's where they're into things that I'm
1:04:43
Speaker 1: not into, Like I don't know polygamy or Islam, and
1:04:46
Speaker 1: I can sort of look at it and be like,
1:04:48
Speaker 1: no one's forcing this to me. I'm not mad at
1:04:50
Speaker 1: you for being a polygamist. I think it's really hard,
1:04:53
Speaker 1: but whatever. Leaving that aside, but I can go to
1:04:55
Speaker 1: a place like that and I don't feel like I
1:04:57
Speaker 1: need to judge everybody on there on their local customs.
1:05:00
Speaker 1: I just don't feel that need.
1:05:02
Speaker 2: But you are. You're saying this superior, You're saying the happy.
1:05:06
Speaker 1: But in the process of doing that, like you just
1:05:10
Speaker 1: you get perspective on your own society. And the core
1:05:13
Speaker 1: problem is a loss of faith in our people, in
1:05:19
Speaker 1: our values, in our religion. Just don't believe anything. I
1:05:22
Speaker 1: don't care what you tell me. Like I'm noticing that
1:05:26
Speaker 1: New York City has people on the sidewalker having X
1:05:29
Speaker 1: atm vestibules, and people are dying of drug O d's
1:05:32
Speaker 1: on the street and their carjack is you're telling me
1:05:34
Speaker 1: it's thriving. I was just there.
1:05:35
Speaker 2: It's not.
1:05:37
Speaker 1: You don't care what statue throw them up. Well, according
1:05:39
Speaker 1: to the American Academy of bullsh it's actually the best
1:05:42
Speaker 1: it's ever been. Really, I was last week.
1:05:44
Speaker 2: It's not.
1:05:45
Speaker 1: All I'm saying is, let's make people who run the banks,
1:05:49
Speaker 1: the people who are getting rich usury like the criminals
1:05:52
Speaker 1: they are.
1:05:53
Speaker 2: Do you hear that? He shifted dick very very quickly
1:05:56
Speaker 2: to this point, this point, this ancient point, desire to
1:06:03
Speaker 2: see the bankers penalized. Listen to this.
1:06:08
Speaker 1: All I'm saying is, let's treat the people who run
1:06:10
Speaker 1: the banks, the people who are getting rich from usury,
1:06:13
Speaker 1: like the criminals.
1:06:14
Speaker 2: They are getting rich from usury. I wrote a whole
1:06:18
Speaker 2: essay on this, getting rich from usury. He now is
1:06:21
Speaker 2: going back to a dog ages, to dock ages in
1:06:29
Speaker 2: order to justify going after American bankers, and I mean
1:06:35
Speaker 2: he is such a leftist. I mean, listen to the rest.
1:06:39
Speaker 1: Of this and make them suffer, because that's totally fair
1:06:42
Speaker 1: if you use destroy people the ecserson and we should
1:06:48
Speaker 1: just say that. And I think we should start by
1:06:50
Speaker 1: getting in collective action. Everybody who's deep in credit card debt.
1:06:54
Speaker 1: I don't care what your raised will be actually a
1:06:56
Speaker 1: way to unify the country. We're just going to have
1:06:59
Speaker 1: this month. We all get it together and we're not
1:07:01
Speaker 1: going to pay a credit card bill?
1:07:04
Speaker 2: What do you do about?
1:07:06
Speaker 1: But your average person can't do that? So why don't
1:07:08
Speaker 1: we all get together and do that? You know what
1:07:10
Speaker 1: happened if we did that, I'd be assassinated immediately just
1:07:12
Speaker 1: for saying that.
1:07:13
Speaker 2: You know who would assassinate him? Well, I can't say
1:07:17
Speaker 2: because it stucks with a J. But they dissassinate him
1:07:19
Speaker 2: for sure, right, because that's what it's all about, because
1:07:22
Speaker 2: the bank is who are the bankers? Who? What is?
1:07:25
Speaker 2: What is the bank is code full? I mean suck
1:07:31
Speaker 2: Kate is ignorant of history, ignorant of culture, ignoment of
1:07:37
Speaker 2: actually what's going on in these countries. He's ignorant of finance.
1:07:42
Speaker 2: He's ignorant of bankers, he is ignorant of economics. It's stunning.
1:07:51
Speaker 2: I mean he's molothing stuff that you know, Uh, Mamdanie's
1:07:56
Speaker 2: dad could have written as a you know, leftist intellectual.
1:08:04
Speaker 2: He seems to be infatuated with Sharia law without really
1:08:08
Speaker 2: knowing what it is, and associating with countries that actually
1:08:13
Speaker 2: don't follow Sharia law, like the UEE, which you know
1:08:17
Speaker 2: uh uh again so it's alcohol and and uh and
1:08:23
Speaker 2: doesh does all kinds of stuff. That is, they tolerate
1:08:29
Speaker 2: couples living together outside of marriage. Sharia law would have
1:08:32
Speaker 2: you stoned for that. Uh. They they don't enforce dress
1:08:36
Speaker 2: codes that Sharia law insists on. You want Sharia law,
1:08:40
Speaker 2: you go to Afghanistan, you go to some ways you
1:08:43
Speaker 2: run you know, and maybe some of these other countries
1:08:47
Speaker 2: in in in the Gulf, but not UEE and even
1:08:52
Speaker 2: Saudi Raber is moving away from it. Why are they
1:08:54
Speaker 2: all moving away from Sharia law? Because it sucks, because
1:08:57
Speaker 2: it's anti human, it's anti life. But we still have
1:09:02
Speaker 2: one defender of Sharia law, Tucker Cross. Is he going
1:09:06
Speaker 2: to defend him at least? Hate America, hate this country,
1:09:14
Speaker 2: hate bankers, hate capitalism, but defend Saudi Arabia. That's what
1:09:21
Speaker 2: it's all about. All right. That is a Tucker Causon segment.
1:09:31
Speaker 2: I won't do too many of these, but we have to.
1:09:33
Speaker 2: We have to deal with him. He's so so evil.
1:09:40
Speaker 2: He's not ignorant because he knows better. He's just evil.
1:09:44
Speaker 2: He's out to destroy a significant number of American sense
1:09:49
Speaker 2: of reality. He's out to destroy the conception of their
1:09:54
Speaker 2: own country. Uh. He's out to raise up some of
1:10:01
Speaker 2: the worst elements in our society and the worst elements
1:10:03
Speaker 2: in the world and and make them you know, Moscow
1:10:07
Speaker 2: and read that is the standard of goodness Moscow and Reard. Yeah.
1:10:16
Speaker 2: I mean even Trump has turned on him. That's because
1:10:18
Speaker 2: he criticized Trump. Trump won't turn on anybody unless they
1:10:21
Speaker 2: criticize him. So yeah, not surprising he turned on Trump.
1:10:25
Speaker 2: Trump turned on him. Yep, all right. Uh a few
1:10:30
Speaker 2: other news stories will do this quickly. Got one more
1:10:33
Speaker 2: video to show you. But then uh uh okay, so
1:10:37
Speaker 2: here we have. I talked about this yesterday. Remember we
1:10:41
Speaker 2: talked about TSA going to the airports. Well, I think
1:10:44
Speaker 2: that scared a lot of people. This idea of the
1:10:46
Speaker 2: TSA at the sorry not ICE helping the TSA at airports,
1:10:51
Speaker 2: Ice helping the TSA. I think a lot of people
1:10:53
Speaker 2: are scared by that, including Republicans. And all of this
1:10:58
Speaker 2: is caused by the fact that TSA is struggling because
1:11:00
Speaker 2: people are not showing up to work. They're not showing
1:11:02
Speaker 2: up to work because they're not getting paid. They're not
1:11:05
Speaker 2: getting paid because Congress has not approved a budget. So
1:11:09
Speaker 2: it appears that the Senates and the White House, Republicans
1:11:13
Speaker 2: and Democrats have sat down and come up with a
1:11:15
Speaker 2: plan to solve this. Republicans are going to give in
1:11:20
Speaker 2: on some of the issues Democrats want, for example, that
1:11:25
Speaker 2: ICE wear cameras and you know, in a few other
1:11:30
Speaker 2: constraints on what ICE can do. In exchange, Democrats will
1:11:36
Speaker 2: fund the Department of Homeland Security. They're not going to
1:11:41
Speaker 2: fund ICE because they didn't get everything they wanted, so
1:11:44
Speaker 2: they're not going to fund ICE. But Republicans don't mind
1:11:47
Speaker 2: because ICE already has funding from another bill, so ICE
1:11:54
Speaker 2: is already kind of, if you will, fully funded, so
1:12:01
Speaker 2: this is additional funding. They're not going to get the
1:12:03
Speaker 2: additional funding that the Trump wanted, So it seems like
1:12:09
Speaker 2: there's a kind of a grand compromise coming together here.
1:12:14
Speaker 2: They will allow TSA to get funding, start paying, get
1:12:19
Speaker 2: the people, allow ICE to leave the airports, hopefully, But
1:12:26
Speaker 2: yet Democrats will say they want because they got the
1:12:28
Speaker 2: cameras and they got a few other things. And also
1:12:32
Speaker 2: they didn't fund ICE. They didn't provide them with the
1:12:34
Speaker 2: additional funding that was being requested. So hopefully all this
1:12:42
Speaker 2: will come together and the airports will become saner and
1:12:45
Speaker 2: travel will become better and yeah, and then they'll have
1:12:50
Speaker 2: to they'll have to figure out what else they're going
1:12:53
Speaker 2: to do about ICE. And they're basically kicking as politicians
1:12:57
Speaker 2: are really really good at doing. They're kicking the can
1:12:59
Speaker 2: down the road, and they'll solve their problem in the future.
1:13:07
Speaker 2: All right, that is the its Yeah, I want to
1:13:13
Speaker 2: show this video. I think it's entertaining. It's scary and
1:13:18
Speaker 2: entertaining at the same time. All Right, this is some
1:13:22
Speaker 2: session they have a roundtable on crime and public safety
1:13:26
Speaker 2: that Donald Trump hosted. Uh and uh, you've got a
1:13:30
Speaker 2: bunch of cabinet You've got Heckseth sitting there, and you've
1:13:33
Speaker 2: got a bunch of cabinet members sitting around and you
1:13:37
Speaker 2: know the beginning of the video is going to be
1:13:39
Speaker 2: on Miller and uh, you know, uh, this is uh
1:13:46
Speaker 2: Stephen Miller, and he's going to talk about how wonderful
1:13:50
Speaker 2: Trump is and uh and you get to see so
1:13:54
Speaker 2: so watch North Korea. Oh no, I mean the Trump administration.
1:13:59
Speaker 2: Uh in action, in action, let's see. Yes, it's up there.
1:14:05
Speaker 2: I just need a press play.
1:14:07
Speaker 3: The work that President Trump is doing, not only in Memphis,
1:14:10
Speaker 3: not only in Washington, d C. But all over the country. Ultimately,
1:14:14
Speaker 3: it will save and is saving tens of thousands of
1:14:18
Speaker 3: American lives.
1:14:19
Speaker 2: Tens of thousands of American lives are going to be
1:14:21
Speaker 2: saved because of what Trump is doing. Tens of thousands,
1:14:25
Speaker 2: because that's how many people get killed in the streets
1:14:27
Speaker 2: of Memphis and other places around the world. Tens of thousands.
1:14:30
Speaker 2: I'm surprised he didn't say millions. He should have said millions.
1:14:33
Speaker 2: I think Trump will be very disappointed in him. They
1:14:35
Speaker 2: make up this stuff, completely made up out of know
1:14:39
Speaker 2: it to complement Trump.
1:14:41
Speaker 3: It is I'll use that word again. What President Trump
1:14:44
Speaker 3: has done on border security and public safety is a
1:14:48
Speaker 3: national miracle that will be studied not only for generations
1:14:52
Speaker 3: but for centuries to come.
1:14:53
Speaker 2: Thank you, cent she used to come, they're going to
1:14:55
Speaker 2: study what Trump did because he's so good at this.
1:14:58
Speaker 2: It's so sophisticated, it's so amazing, and he tens of
1:15:01
Speaker 2: thousands of lives have been saved because of what he's done.
1:15:04
Speaker 2: It's it's truly amazing. Now listen to Trump. What Trump says, President,
1:15:09
Speaker 2: they all clap, You're all enthused.
1:15:11
Speaker 4: Yep.
1:15:14
Speaker 2: So Cash, she's taking top that. She's still need to
1:15:18
Speaker 2: cash Fortael and says, see if you can top that,
1:15:21
Speaker 2: Like Stephen, Milly just complimented me big time. Can you
1:15:24
Speaker 2: top that? This is how the American government in front
1:15:28
Speaker 2: of its people, This is how they behave. This is
1:15:31
Speaker 2: oo behave.
1:15:33
Speaker 3: I don't know.
1:15:34
Speaker 2: That's a tough one.
1:15:35
Speaker 4: Cash, that's tough, you know, mister President. As I look
1:15:38
Speaker 4: around this venue, I see and I'm reminded again why
1:15:41
Speaker 4: we have the greatest warriors on God's Green Earth.
1:15:44
Speaker 2: The menu, I mean, listen to Cashptael. Actually none of
1:15:47
Speaker 2: us sentences actually make any sense. He says a lot
1:15:50
Speaker 2: of stuff and says nothing at the same time. So
1:15:53
Speaker 2: just just listen to even this first sentence doesn't really
1:15:57
Speaker 2: As I look around the room.
1:15:59
Speaker 4: It's warriors God's Green Earth, the men and women serving
1:16:01
Speaker 4: in uniform, the men and women serving and wearing the badge,
1:16:04
Speaker 4: and law enforcement, our police, our sheriffs around the state
1:16:07
Speaker 4: of Tennessee. I'm reminded that Americans exist to protect this
1:16:11
Speaker 4: country day in and day out, and they've done it
1:16:12
Speaker 4: like we've done it here.
1:16:14
Speaker 2: But what we didn't have was you.
1:16:16
Speaker 4: We didn't have a commander in chief who backed the
1:16:17
Speaker 4: Blue Blue, who funded the military, who did whatever it
1:16:22
Speaker 4: takes to safeguard every single life. And here in Memphis, Tennessee,
1:16:25
Speaker 4: you have put on a show for the world. You
1:16:27
Speaker 4: have allowed us to go out there and capture gang bangers, rapists, murderers,
1:16:32
Speaker 4: drug dealers at record historic levels. And for me, a
1:16:36
Speaker 4: first generation Indian American kid whose parents fled to genocide
1:16:39
Speaker 4: in East Africa, to become the ninth director of the FBI,
1:16:42
Speaker 4: I'm living the wildest dream you could possibly imagine, sir,
1:16:45
Speaker 4: But it's thanks to you. But more importantly, what I
1:16:47
Speaker 4: see when I look out across our great partners here
1:16:49
Speaker 4: in the Inner Agency, and our great legislators, and our
1:16:51
Speaker 4: great prosecutors, and our great Attorney General who has the
1:16:54
Speaker 4: guts to go out there and make arrest tournament to
1:16:56
Speaker 4: prosecutions and put people in prison. You are giving that
1:17:00
Speaker 4: d to every single child in the state of Tennessee.
1:17:03
Speaker 4: You are inspiring the nation and law enforcement to come
1:17:06
Speaker 4: up and wear the badge and where the colors of
1:17:08
Speaker 4: this country and safeguard our men and women for generations
1:17:12
Speaker 4: to come. This is an enduring mission, mister President. Because
1:17:15
Speaker 4: you have made it enduring, it is going to go
1:17:17
Speaker 4: on for generations to come. They are going to try
1:17:20
Speaker 4: to achieve what you accomplished here what Steven said in
1:17:22
Speaker 4: just one short year, and they're going to be doing
1:17:25
Speaker 4: it for decades because America was smart enough to let
1:17:27
Speaker 4: to you as our commander in chief. So while we're
1:17:29
Speaker 4: out there fighting for the dreams of our children, just know,
1:17:32
Speaker 4: mister President, how many millions of dreams like mine are
1:17:35
Speaker 4: going to be lived thanks to your brilliant leadership. Mister President,
1:17:39
Speaker 4: thanks for delivering America the safest, safest, safest country on
1:17:42
Speaker 4: God's green Earth.
1:17:43
Speaker 2: Thank you. Safest country on God's green oaths, safest country
1:17:49
Speaker 2: on God's green oaths. I mean it's not the same
1:17:55
Speaker 2: country Techacauson was talking about before. Clearly not. I mean
1:18:02
Speaker 2: Trump gave him an assignment. You have to top. You know,
1:18:06
Speaker 2: Stephen Miller in praising me and the guy did it unbelievable,
1:18:11
Speaker 2: millions of dreams, generations, and the safest country on God's
1:18:16
Speaker 2: green oaths. I mean, it's safer than Japan. Now, We're
1:18:20
Speaker 2: safer than Portugal. We're safer than you know, any country.
1:18:26
Speaker 2: I mean, you should look at the stats sometime and
1:18:29
Speaker 2: see whether America is the safest country in the whole
1:18:33
Speaker 2: damn world, even the places where Trump is sent in
1:18:37
Speaker 2: the National Guard and all the troops and whatever. Is
1:18:41
Speaker 2: Memphis a safer place on planet Earth's safer than soul
1:18:44
Speaker 2: South Korea? No? I mean bullshit. So again you get
1:18:51
Speaker 2: people lying left and right all over the place about everything.
1:18:56
Speaker 2: It's this is the right or in Tucker's case, I
1:19:03
Speaker 2: don't know what you would call it, but this is
1:19:05
Speaker 2: the right. This is our government, this is who they are.
1:19:09
Speaker 2: So you might say, okay, well let's get some relief
1:19:12
Speaker 2: by going left and let's look at the Democrats. We'll see.
1:19:17
Speaker 2: Journal had a good editorial on Saturday about the Democrats.
1:19:23
Speaker 2: I mean, the Democrats are nuts. They're basically on a
1:19:29
Speaker 2: taxing binge. They're gonna binge of raising your taxes. They're
1:19:38
Speaker 2: probably gonna win in November in the House and maybe
1:19:41
Speaker 2: even the Senate. And what will they want to do
1:19:44
Speaker 2: immediately raise taxes. I mean, you can look around the
1:19:48
Speaker 2: country and look at Democrats and see what they're doing.
1:19:51
Speaker 2: In California, they've got a ballot initiative to pose a
1:19:56
Speaker 2: five percent well tax on residents with more than one
1:19:58
Speaker 2: billion in net worth. That includes stocks in liquid stakes
1:20:02
Speaker 2: in private companies, artworks, patents, family trusts. Tax it all,
1:20:08
Speaker 2: count it all, and tax it all. You know, if
1:20:14
Speaker 2: you have super voting shares in a company would be taxed. Yeah, well,
1:20:25
Speaker 2: we tax on the value of the shares, whether they
1:20:27
Speaker 2: could sell them or not. A start a founder could
1:20:32
Speaker 2: be required to pay tax on twenty five percent of
1:20:34
Speaker 2: voting rights he controls, even if he only owns five
1:20:38
Speaker 2: percent of the shares. So your tax on your voting
1:20:40
Speaker 2: rights not a new economic position, which is bizarre. Even
1:20:49
Speaker 2: Newsome is against this bill, against this proposition. Right, at
1:20:55
Speaker 2: least six billionaires have already left, and more will go
1:20:59
Speaker 2: with it actually passes Washington, a state we talked about
1:21:04
Speaker 2: this which once had a zero income tax now has
1:21:09
Speaker 2: just passed a nine point nine percent income tax on
1:21:11
Speaker 2: millionaires as well. As a capital gains tax, which it
1:21:14
Speaker 2: never used to have, and so on. Remember that you
1:21:20
Speaker 2: know a ten percent on millionaires will soon include taxes
1:21:25
Speaker 2: on others. Like in twenty twenty two, Democrats and acted
1:21:29
Speaker 2: a seven percent tax on capital gains in Marston State
1:21:32
Speaker 2: for gains exceeding two hundred and fifty thousand. Last year
1:21:36
Speaker 2: they raised their right to ten percent for over a million.
1:21:40
Speaker 2: So they're constantly expanding and now it's ten percent on
1:21:45
Speaker 2: all income. They've raised taxes on real estate sales, on
1:21:52
Speaker 2: business goes with seats and estates, and they've raised the
1:21:57
Speaker 2: state's sales tax. But you know, if you go east,
1:22:04
Speaker 2: you go to New York. Albany Democrats are proposing income,
1:22:08
Speaker 2: corporate and real estate tax hikes to fund more welfare
1:22:12
Speaker 2: and public worker benefits. I mean, a lot of these
1:22:14
Speaker 2: taxes are there to pay pensions to public employees who've
1:22:20
Speaker 2: got these incredibly lucrative pensions promises. The pension funds can't
1:22:26
Speaker 2: pay it because the investment returns couldn't be high enough
1:22:31
Speaker 2: to get them those kind of pensions, and government keeps
1:22:34
Speaker 2: promising them more and more and more, and the only
1:22:36
Speaker 2: way to give them the money is to tax people
1:22:40
Speaker 2: the New York Assembly wants to raise the top state
1:22:42
Speaker 2: and local income tax rates to fifteen point nine percent
1:22:45
Speaker 2: from fourteen point eight, and the Senate wants to raise
1:22:49
Speaker 2: them for fifteen point three. They also want to raise
1:22:52
Speaker 2: the state top corporate tax, and they want to let
1:22:56
Speaker 2: New York City raise its own rate. This is mum
1:22:58
Speaker 2: Donnie's influence. That would make the top business tax rates
1:23:02
Speaker 2: nearly twenty percent in New York City. This is the
1:23:05
Speaker 2: top of federal. But that's not enough on Mamdani, of course,
1:23:10
Speaker 2: he wants to increase the state tax to fifty percent
1:23:13
Speaker 2: from sixteen, impose a two percent city tax search charge
1:23:19
Speaker 2: on incomes over a million, which would raise the top
1:23:23
Speaker 2: individual rate in the city to sixteen point eight. Remember
1:23:27
Speaker 2: that's above federal so in New York you know, but
1:23:35
Speaker 2: doesn't stop there. Rhode Island is pushing a three percent
1:23:38
Speaker 2: SO charge and income over one million, which would raid
1:23:41
Speaker 2: the state, which would raise the state top rate to
1:23:44
Speaker 2: eight point nine nine percent, so it would have taxes
1:23:50
Speaker 2: higher than Massachusetts. In Virginia, Democratic lawmakers want to use
1:23:55
Speaker 2: their newly gain control to increase tax surprise, surprise, three
1:24:02
Speaker 2: point eight percent tax on investment income tax of taxpayers
1:24:05
Speaker 2: making more than five hundred thousand, which would raise their
1:24:09
Speaker 2: top rate to nine point five five percent. Another bill
1:24:11
Speaker 2: would create two new individual top tax brackets of eight
1:24:15
Speaker 2: percent and ten percent. I mean, it's just out of control.
1:24:22
Speaker 2: Maryland wants they add three new tax backets on higher incomes,
1:24:27
Speaker 2: raise the top, raise the top you know rate twelve percent.
1:24:35
Speaker 2: And then of course this Congress, Congress wants to raise
1:24:38
Speaker 2: everybody's taxes. The Democrats want to raise taxes across the board,
1:24:42
Speaker 2: raise the top, the top marginal rate, they want to take,
1:24:45
Speaker 2: they want to create new brackets. There's no hand And
1:24:50
Speaker 2: of course I blame the Republicans as I always do.
1:24:55
Speaker 2: Right Why because the only option to raising taxes is
1:24:59
Speaker 2: kind of spending. And the Republicans are supposed to be
1:25:02
Speaker 2: the ones who advocate for getting spending, and they don't.
1:25:07
Speaker 2: And even when they advocate for it, like Doge, Theyn't
1:25:10
Speaker 2: don't do it. So every state and every in the
1:25:15
Speaker 2: federal government let's stuck with these massive deficits. They can't
1:25:18
Speaker 2: cut spending because nobody wants to cut spending. We for
1:25:22
Speaker 2: spending only increases, so security and medicaid only increases. So
1:25:31
Speaker 2: what are they gonna do. How are you gonna cut
1:25:32
Speaker 2: the deficit? You can't cut spending. That's a no no.
1:25:35
Speaker 2: Even Republicans won't cut spending. So at least the Democrats
1:25:41
Speaker 2: are honest enough to say we'll raise taxes. Republicans bury
1:25:46
Speaker 2: their head in the sand. They pretend deficits are not
1:25:49
Speaker 2: a problem. Will just bother the money, no problem, We'll
1:25:52
Speaker 2: run the deficits. We'll spend the same amount of money
1:25:54
Speaker 2: as Democrats, but we'll bother the money. We won't tax.
1:25:58
Speaker 2: Borrowing the money is a tax. I mean, the physical
1:26:03
Speaker 2: condition of this country is truly a disaster. So yeah,
1:26:09
Speaker 2: when you turn left, which you get as a beverage
1:26:12
Speaker 2: of taxes and more welfare spending, the antidote to the
1:26:16
Speaker 2: Republican rate. All right, that is the news. So this Tuesday,
1:26:21
Speaker 2: March twenty fourth, thank you all for joining me. I
1:26:24
Speaker 2: see very few questions and very few twenty dollars questions
1:26:28
Speaker 2: and very few, you know, not enough to get us
1:26:32
Speaker 2: to our goal. So we got to goal. Value for value,
1:26:38
Speaker 2: remember that you listen and you get it for free,
1:26:42
Speaker 2: but the way you compensate for it is ethon Patreon.
1:26:45

1:26:48
Speaker 2: if you're alive, use the super chat feature or the
1:26:52
Speaker 2: stick of feature to try to get us to our goal.
1:26:55
Speaker 2: Our goal. We're way off of our goal.
1:26:57
Speaker 1: Way way off.
1:26:59
Speaker 2: Very bad. I'm good, all right. In the meantime, we
1:27:02
Speaker 2: do have some stickers. Paul, thank you for the sticker,
1:27:06
Speaker 2: and I still want fifty dollars sticker. That was exciting. Yeah,

1:27:35
Speaker 2: in with the sticker. I appreciate that. All right, let's
1:27:38
Speaker 2: remind you of Let's just pick a couple of our sponsors.
1:27:44
Speaker 2: Alex Epstein is the pre eminent authority on all things
1:27:50
Speaker 2: energy right now, oil gas, big news, beg in the news.
1:27:55
Speaker 2: You want to know what's going on, check out Alex's substack.
1:27:59
Speaker 2: Alex Epstein substack dot com. Alex Epstein dot substack dot com.
1:28:05
Speaker 2: Defenders of capitalism. You know has a program to defend capitalism.
1:28:08
Speaker 2: I part of that program. We teach it at the
1:28:11
Speaker 2: leadership program with the Rockies. Michael Williams has done a
1:28:13
Speaker 2: phenomenal job organizing all this and putting it together. Check
1:28:17
Speaker 2: out the website Defenders of Capitalism dot com. All right,
1:28:24
Speaker 2: let's see let's jump into your questions. Remember Patreon Patreon
1:28:28
Speaker 2: dot com and of course the one hundred and sixty
1:28:31
Speaker 2: five people watching right now, think about doing a sticker
1:28:34
Speaker 2: like Roland just did. It's two Swiss fanks, which is
1:28:38
Speaker 2: two bucks fifty and it adds up. If if a
1:28:41
Speaker 2: bunch of you do that, we're in great shape.
1:28:43
Speaker 1: Great shape.
1:28:45
Speaker 2: All right, let's jump in not you have a j algorithm.
1:28:48
Speaker 2: The problem with this war is that it is thought
1:28:51
Speaker 2: to demonstrate power rather than to achieve a just objective.
1:28:55
Speaker 2: The United States is no longer clear about what it
1:28:58
Speaker 2: stands for. Is a war without a moral purpose even
1:29:02
Speaker 2: worth fighting? Well, yes, because the one thing they do
1:29:05
Speaker 2: understand is some sense of self defense. There's some sense
1:29:10
Speaker 2: of uron should not be allowed to achieve nuclear weapons
1:29:14
Speaker 2: and the abilistic missile program as a threat to us.
1:29:17
Speaker 2: And that's as far as it'll go. Israel is clearly
1:29:21
Speaker 2: fighting a moral war. It clearly has an aim. It
1:29:24
Speaker 2: wants regime change. It wants to change the dynamics of
1:29:27
Speaker 2: the Middleage. It's not sure it can get regime change,
1:29:31
Speaker 2: but it definitely wants to cripple Iwon's ability to produce
1:29:34
Speaker 2: weapons that can hurt Israel. It wants to cripple Iwan's
1:29:39
Speaker 2: ability to fund terrorist organizations that kill Israelis. It wants
1:29:44
Speaker 2: to destroy the nuclear capabilities. They never have an atomic
1:29:47
Speaker 2: bomb that they could destroy Israel with. So for Israel,
1:29:51
Speaker 2: this is a war of survival. It has to engage
1:29:54
Speaker 2: in it. And I think is just happy that the
1:29:57
Speaker 2: United States has realized that it too has a self
1:30:01
Speaker 2: interested reason to engage in this war, self defense reason
1:30:03
Speaker 2: to engage in this war. And maybe it's not quite
1:30:06
Speaker 2: as clear and and and uh sharp and u for
1:30:14
Speaker 2: you know, the Americans, and they don't have as ambitious
1:30:17
Speaker 2: of goals as Israel does. But it's still a war
1:30:19
Speaker 2: of self defense fundamentally, I think for both for both
1:30:25
Speaker 2: Yuan as a nuclear reactor, but that nuclear reactor can
1:30:28
Speaker 2: only be used for civilian purposes. And notice that Israel
1:30:32
Speaker 2: is not bombing bombing that nuclear reactor because they cannot
1:30:36
Speaker 2: use it to develop nuclear weapons, and they don't need
1:30:40
Speaker 2: to refine to refine the uranium for it. So if
1:30:46
Speaker 2: they don't have the centrifuges, they don't have the capacity
1:30:50
Speaker 2: to enrich uranium, then the nuclear power plant is not
1:30:53
Speaker 2: a problem for the israel LEAs it's not a problem
1:30:55
Speaker 2: in terms of nuclear weapons. Catherine, I read that the
1:31:02
Speaker 2: US warns EU to pass trade deal or risk losing
1:31:07
Speaker 2: favorable access to LNG. What do you think about this?
1:31:10
Speaker 2: Does the US want to hinder that the EU buys
1:31:14
Speaker 2: Russian gas or do they just want to sell it
1:31:16
Speaker 2: in g for high price? Well, I think you know.
1:31:20
Speaker 2: The US wants the bully the Europeans. It wants the
1:31:24
Speaker 2: Eupeans to accept the trade deal. It's not clear the
1:31:27
Speaker 2: trade deal is particularly good for either Europeans or Trump.
1:31:31
Speaker 2: The trade we had with Europe before Trump became president
1:31:37
Speaker 2: was better than the trade deal. But Trump wants the
1:31:41
Speaker 2: trade deal. He considers that a win, and he's using
1:31:45
Speaker 2: LNG to pressure the Europeans to sign it. I mean,
1:31:52
Speaker 2: he's just a bully. It's a stupid trade deal to
1:31:55
Speaker 2: begin with. It's not an America's interests, but tariffs are
1:31:59
Speaker 2: not an Americans interests at all, and this involst Habs.
1:32:04
Speaker 2: It doesn't give the United States any real advantages. So
1:32:09
Speaker 2: he's trying to get them to sign a deal that
1:32:11
Speaker 2: he negotiated, and he has convinced his base that is
1:32:15
Speaker 2: good for America, and he's doing it really. You know,
1:32:19
Speaker 2: he knows the Europeans a death spit for LNG. It's
1:32:23
Speaker 2: not about the price of LNG. It's not about Russia.
1:32:26
Speaker 2: It's about the fact that he knows the despot and
1:32:30
Speaker 2: he's using that to get something he wants, which is
1:32:33
Speaker 2: the trade deal. Mary Ellen to politicians, my money is
1:32:41
Speaker 2: not yours to spend if you want to help people. Okay,
1:32:45
Speaker 2: this is two politicians. My money is not yours to spend.
1:32:49
Speaker 2: If you want to help people, use your own damn money,
1:32:52
Speaker 2: and they expect to be thanked obscene and outrageous. Yes,
1:32:57
Speaker 2: you know, he used to be the politicians somewhat understood
1:33:00
Speaker 2: this principle that it was not theirs to spend, but
1:33:04
Speaker 2: that's gone out the window. That that knowledge is out
1:33:06
Speaker 2: the window, and now they very much think that your
1:33:10
Speaker 2: money is theirs and they will spend it for you,
1:33:13
Speaker 2: and they're doing it for your interests and it's good
1:33:17
Speaker 2: for you for them to spend your money. It's pretty
1:33:21
Speaker 2: it really is disgusting, but it's you know, we've got
1:33:25
Speaker 2: way beyond that. I mean, think oft how much of
1:33:27
Speaker 2: our money they are spending. You know, just a federal
1:33:32
Speaker 2: government is spending twenty two percent of just the amount
1:33:36
Speaker 2: of if you were wealth created the economy. It's not
1:33:40
Speaker 2: exactly that, but you know, GDP, it's just outrageous. In
1:33:45
Speaker 2: the nineteenth century they spent three point five percent, two
1:33:50
Speaker 2: point five percent. A friend of Aristotle, thank you for
1:33:56
Speaker 2: the support. Really appreciate that. All right, we've got some
1:34:02
Speaker 2: some more questions. Have you reached out to Destiny for
1:34:05
Speaker 2: another interview? Not yet. No, being a regular on his
1:34:08
Speaker 2: channel is how you'll get fifty k subscribers by the
1:34:12
Speaker 2: end of the year. I don't know if I am
1:34:14
Speaker 2: going to be a regular and Destiny's channel ever, but yeah,
1:34:21
Speaker 2: I will reach out. James, who cares what the immigration
1:34:29
Speaker 2: status is? They're achieving something. I'm not sure what you're
1:34:32
Speaker 2: referring to, but yeah, general, the immigrants, if they hear
1:34:35
Speaker 2: working making something, why does anybody care? As long as
1:34:41
Speaker 2: you're working. If you're leached, then I care, but I
1:34:44
Speaker 2: care about American leaches as well, James. Is private insurance
1:34:52
Speaker 2: in the UK less regulated than the US because they
1:34:55
Speaker 2: have the NHS, you know, I don't know. I don't know,
1:34:58
Speaker 2: but my guess is that it's still regulated. Is this
1:35:02
Speaker 2: the case with many countries with socialized medical systems? Well? No,
1:35:05
Speaker 2: I mean, like in Canada, you cannot buy private healthcare
1:35:10
Speaker 2: insurance even if you wanted to, so it varies. I
1:35:14
Speaker 2: think the best hybrid system is probably Switzerland, which has
1:35:19
Speaker 2: which requires you to buy insurance, but the insurance is
1:35:24
Speaker 2: private and the health care system for the most part
1:35:26
Speaker 2: is private. So I think that's the case. I think
1:35:30
Speaker 2: Switzerland is probably the best, the best combination, if you will,
1:35:37
Speaker 2: all right, Silvanas with a fifty dollars question, Thank you,
1:35:40
Speaker 2: Savannas not pleased to hear we have a new wave
1:35:44
Speaker 2: of taxes on the horizon. But at least that might
1:35:47
Speaker 2: inspire some fugility in the people. Makes me want to
1:35:52
Speaker 2: lock in more physical assets in case of economic collapse.
1:35:57
Speaker 2: Gold bug went gold bug when yeah, I mean it's
1:36:01
Speaker 2: hard to be a gold bug right now with gold
1:36:04
Speaker 2: at such elevated prices. But you know, I don't think
1:36:10
Speaker 2: that it generally produces fidelity. I mean, there's no upside
1:36:14
Speaker 2: to higher taxes. It's just all negative. It's all bad.
1:36:19
Speaker 2: The only thing worse than higher taxes is more government spending,
1:36:23
Speaker 2: and sadly, we get more government spending no matter what,
1:36:27
Speaker 2: and we get it from both political parties. The only
1:36:30
Speaker 2: thing we should be advocating for politically is cutting government spending.
1:36:34
Speaker 2: Cut government spending, Shrink the government, Shrink the government, Shrink
1:36:36
Speaker 2: the government, and shrink it on principle, because it shouldn't
1:36:42
Speaker 2: be doing all these things, because all these other things
1:36:46
Speaker 2: are not just costing money, but they're violating our rights.
1:36:52
Speaker 2: So yeah, we should. I'm not big on becoming a
1:36:58
Speaker 2: gold bug or higher taxes. It's not clear that gold
1:37:02
Speaker 2: will go up. Gold is very expensive right now, even
1:37:07
Speaker 2: though it's down from its way from its peak. I'm
1:37:12
Speaker 2: not going to become a gold bug, and I wouldn't
1:37:14
Speaker 2: recommend it. H Leam Trump has no purpose, he has
1:37:22
Speaker 2: no values. He is driven by hate. He's driven by emotion.
1:37:26
Speaker 2: More broadly, he is driven by a desire to be loved.
1:37:29
Speaker 2: He's driven by all kinds of things, right to please
1:37:33
Speaker 2: certain people, like the thugs in the world. And its
1:37:36
Speaker 2: also driven by hate, but he's driven basically by emotions
1:37:39
Speaker 2: rather than by values and by reason. FuGO fugality, frugality, Sorry, frugality,
1:37:49
Speaker 2: that's I'm mispronounced. Another word added to my list. Evan says, God,
1:38:00
Speaker 2: what is going on? No Wait? Is Tucker a trans
1:38:16
Speaker 2: something Katari queen? It hasn't been verified yet. I am
1:38:23
Speaker 2: just asking questions. He probably is trans something Katari queen.
1:38:28
Speaker 2: He probably is or not. We're just asking questions. We
1:38:31
Speaker 2: really don't know. One day we'll discover maybe who knows.
1:38:36
Speaker 2: But he's well traveled. Whatever he is, he's definitely a globalist.
1:38:43
Speaker 2: I like numbers. So in today's context, you're four us
1:38:46
Speaker 2: being in NATO. Yeah, as I said, I think leaving
1:38:51
Speaker 2: NATO should be done in a thoughtful way over time,
1:38:57
Speaker 2: maybe with some deals where you can still lease some
1:39:01
Speaker 2: of the bases there. You have to think it through.
1:39:05
Speaker 2: You don't need full membership of NATO. Maybe still have
1:39:08
Speaker 2: some basses in Germany, but leave NATO, so you'd have
1:39:11
Speaker 2: to think about how to do it right. I wouldn't
1:39:15
Speaker 2: just leave, and I wouldn't commit to staying forever. And
1:39:20
Speaker 2: if Iran goes, then your problems in the Middle East
1:39:23
Speaker 2: get reduced dramatically. Jacob says, so glad you are viewing
1:39:29
Speaker 2: that five minute Tucker clip. He is so nuts. He
1:39:33
Speaker 2: really is, he really is. Michael is Trump likely to
1:39:38
Speaker 2: put boots on the ground in Iran will widely sink
1:39:42
Speaker 2: his popularity? Well, I mean it depends. If putting boots
1:39:45
Speaker 2: in the ground open up, opens up the straits, and
1:39:48
Speaker 2: foremost gas prices tumble, and you get regime change Intoehran,
1:39:53
Speaker 2: then his popularity will go up dramatically. So boots in
1:39:57
Speaker 2: the ground will be popular if it's a winning strategy,
1:39:59
Speaker 2: and unpopular if it's a losing strategy. Do I think
1:40:03
Speaker 2: boots on the ground are going to happen, Yes, in
1:40:06
Speaker 2: a localized, minimized way. Yes. I don't see any other
1:40:11
Speaker 2: way that they fully open up the streets Roman. To
1:40:17
Speaker 2: celebrate MBS support for the war, I recommend you listen
1:40:21
Speaker 2: to Ashitaha's rock l Kasba, an Arabic cover of the
1:40:28
Speaker 2: clash is original. That sounds pretty funny. I might do
1:40:32
Speaker 2: that just for the entertainment. Thank you, all right, Mary Eleen,
1:40:39
Speaker 2: gas in Washington State is more than five dollars a gallon. Yeah,
1:40:43
Speaker 2: can you imagine what it is in California, it's probably
1:40:46
Speaker 2: around six at this point. But yes, gas prices on
1:40:50
Speaker 2: average around five bucks, which is terrible, but that's wool.
1:40:55
Speaker 2: There's a price to pay, particularly if you don't win
1:40:59
Speaker 2: it quickly. In Decide Sively Matt, have you ever read
1:41:04
Speaker 2: the Dune series or watched the movies? Thoughts? If so,
1:41:08
Speaker 2: the author was philosophically flawed, but it has a very
1:41:11
Speaker 2: interesting thinker. I have not read the books. I did
1:41:15
Speaker 2: watch the movie. I can't try if I read the
1:41:18
Speaker 2: first Dune book or not. Maybe I've read the first
1:41:20
Speaker 2: Dune book, but it was a very long time ago.
1:41:22
Speaker 2: I definitely watched the more recent movies. I think they're
1:41:26
Speaker 2: very well done. They're good movies. They're interesting. I do
1:41:30
Speaker 2: think this element of the hero becoming this religious leader
1:41:36
Speaker 2: is super interesting and raises a lot of interesting questions.
1:41:42
Speaker 2: So I like the plot. I like where it's heading.
1:41:47
Speaker 2: You know, again, I don't know, I don't know how
1:41:48
Speaker 2: it's gonna end. I'm looking forward to movie number three.
1:41:53
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, he's dealing with religious fanaticism, he's
1:41:57
Speaker 2: dealing with the fact that to lead, you know, it's
1:42:01
Speaker 2: it's it's much easier to lead if you have a
1:42:03
Speaker 2: sort of mythology around it. You inspire people through religion
1:42:07
Speaker 2: and mysticism, it gives you more power. I think that's
1:42:10
Speaker 2: all true in irrational world. What he doesn't deal with
1:42:14
Speaker 2: is rationality and reason and how you can create. Why
1:42:19
Speaker 2: does science fiction there's no nothing in science fiction, no
1:42:24
Speaker 2: place in science fiction, usually like the United States of America,
1:42:29
Speaker 2: it's certainly at its founding. There's there's no conception of
1:42:32
Speaker 2: a free place with individual rights protected. It doesn't exist
1:42:37
Speaker 2: in in in in the future world. The a few
1:42:41
Speaker 2: libertarian I think sci fi writers. I mean there's Robert
1:42:44
Speaker 2: Handlin where has a little bit of that, but always
1:42:47
Speaker 2: at the very edge of the frontier, because always gets
1:42:50
Speaker 2: destroyed by civilized by supposedly by civilization. But there's very
1:42:55
Speaker 2: few worlds that assume freedom in the future. Interestingly enough,
1:43:04
Speaker 2: but I enjoyed the Dune movies, so Matt, people don't
1:43:09
Speaker 2: realize we still have a representative democracy. Government sucks because
1:43:13
Speaker 2: the culture holds bad ideas. Bad ideas don't pop out
1:43:17
Speaker 2: of the ground. Yeah, I mean, look, we get the
1:43:21
Speaker 2: politicians we deserve. Politics is downstream from culture. What matters
1:43:25
Speaker 2: is culture and cultures drowned stream from ideas from philosophy,
1:43:29
Speaker 2: from intellectuals. At the end of the day, what determines
1:43:33
Speaker 2: the culture are the intellectuals. Is the philosophy that determines
1:43:39
Speaker 2: the culture, and then the culture determines the politics. So
1:43:42
Speaker 2: politicians won't change until the culture changes, and our culture
1:43:46
Speaker 2: won't change until the intellectuals change, and our intellectuals won't
1:43:51
Speaker 2: change until objectivism wins or at least is winning winning.
1:43:57
Speaker 2: So that's the goal.
1:44:00
Speaker 1: The goal.
1:44:02
Speaker 2: Is to replace the intellectuals, swap them out, and that's
1:44:08
Speaker 2: when we win. All right, everybody, have a great rest
1:44:15
Speaker 2: of your week. I will see you tomorrow at the
1:44:17
Speaker 2: same time, and I'm sure there will be more more
1:44:22
Speaker 2: stuff to talk about, and there'll probably be other stuff
1:44:24
Speaker 2: to talk about. See you tomorrow. Bye, everybody,
