- 0:05Speaker 1: A lot of them funds and an individual loss. This
- 0:17Speaker 1: is the show, all right, Everybody welcome, and you can
- 0:26Speaker 1: tell I do not have my voice back yet. We
- 0:29Speaker 1: will do the best. I will do the best that
- 0:32Speaker 1: I can h being sick, uh, still sick, but hopefully
- 0:38Speaker 1: strong enough to do a show today. We'll see how
- 0:41Speaker 1: long we go. That will depend on how am I feeling,
- 0:43Speaker 1: and of course on how many questions you guys have.
- 0:50Speaker 1: I had COVID, got back in the United States on Friday,
- 0:55Speaker 1: go back to Puerto Rico Saturday. I did an ammy
- 0:57Speaker 1: with you guys. By Saturday evening, I wasn't feeling well.
- 1:01Speaker 1: I told my wife, Yeah, getting sick. Sunday I was out, gone,
- 1:10Speaker 1: got a COVID test, definitely had COVID, and so I
- 1:16Speaker 1: had a pretty bad case of COVID. So throwed, congestion,
- 1:21Speaker 1: as you can hear, fever, cough, weakness, the whole shebang
- 1:29Speaker 1: wipe me out for like Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, really Wednesday, yesterday.
- 1:33Speaker 1: I started feeling better today, I'm feeling better. Tomorrow. I'm
- 1:37Speaker 1: sure I'll feel a little bit better and you know, hopefully,
- 1:41Speaker 1: hopefully we'll keep going. I this is my third time
- 1:44Speaker 1: with COVID. I think twice two three, something like that.
- 1:47Speaker 1: This is the worst by far. And yeah, none of
- 1:52Speaker 1: my COVID cases could I did. I lose my sense
- 1:55Speaker 1: of smell or sense of taste. So when a feman
- 2:02Speaker 1: says double your vitamin D to four thousand, you assume
- 2:07Speaker 1: that I take two thousand vitamin D. I mean, where
- 2:10Speaker 1: does that come from? Like people think they know me?
- 2:14Speaker 1: What the hell I'm on five thousand? I use of
- 2:23Speaker 1: vitamin D. So lack of vitamin D is not the
- 2:27Speaker 1: reason I get COVID. You've done research on me. There's
- 2:33Speaker 1: no research that shows that four thousand and I or
- 2:36Speaker 1: you of vitamin D does. I mean, vitamin D generally
- 2:41Speaker 1: helps the immune system, generally is good for you. I'm
- 2:45Speaker 1: on I take vitamin D and I take more and
- 2:49Speaker 1: I'm sick. But I don't have a causal link between
- 2:53Speaker 1: the two anyway. I don't want to talk about COVID.
- 2:56Speaker 1: We can talk about COVID, but I don't really want
- 2:58Speaker 1: to talk about COVID. If you want to talk about COVID,
- 3:01Speaker 1: then then you know, put it up. But yeah, I
- 3:06Speaker 1: was on five thousand milligrams of I owe you. I
- 3:11Speaker 1: use of vitamin D so it wasn't a lack of
- 3:14Speaker 1: vitamin D that brought about COVID. Yeah, if you want
- 3:19Speaker 1: to ask about COVID, asking the asking, the super chat,
- 3:23Speaker 1: I had some interesting responses from all kinds of people. Well,
- 3:26Speaker 1: on the internet, it's I guess I got COVID because
- 3:30Speaker 1: I was vaccinated. If you're vaccinated, you get COVID. That
- 3:35Speaker 1: that is the story, even though my vaccination is from
- 3:38Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. All Right, a lot has happened, because
- 3:47Speaker 1: really it's been two weeks, right, because the one week
- 3:51Speaker 1: I was in Madrid and didn't really do a didn't
- 3:54Speaker 1: really do a show, and then I've been sick for
- 3:58Speaker 1: a week. So it's been two weeks. Lot has been
- 4:00Speaker 1: going on in the world. We won't be able to
- 4:02Speaker 1: cover all of it, but I thought we'd catch up
- 4:04Speaker 1: on a few of the of the main stories and
- 4:09Speaker 1: it might be a little rush today. It might be
- 4:11Speaker 1: a shorter show today given all this, But yeah, we will.
- 4:19Speaker 1: We will see how it all, how it all goes.
- 4:23Speaker 1: All right, let's see, I like numbersis I assume you'd
- 4:33Speaker 1: never take ivan mectin. I would take Evian mcden if
- 4:35Speaker 1: I had something that I've emcdin actually cured. If I
- 4:39Speaker 1: had a parasite, I would definitely take Avin mcdan. Would
- 4:43Speaker 1: I take avimctin for COVID? No, No, I mean that's
- 4:47Speaker 1: just that's just voodoo. That's just voodoo. So no, I
- 4:53Speaker 1: would not. Let's see, God some strange questions. Okay, let's
- 5:09Speaker 1: see all right, let's start. Yesterday was young people young
- 5:15Speaker 1: peoo is uh kind of the holiest day of the
- 5:18Speaker 1: year for for the Jews. Uh. They they it's a
- 5:22Speaker 1: day of fasting. Uh. It's a day where Jews, both
- 5:29Speaker 1: very religious Jews but also pretty secular Jews, you know,
- 5:35Speaker 1: go to synagogue. It's it's one day where pretty much
- 5:38Speaker 1: everybody goes to synagogue in Israel. It's a day where
- 5:42Speaker 1: there's just no no cause in the streets it's completely empty.
- 5:46Speaker 1: Everybody walks to synagogue. I mean some people drive, but
- 5:50Speaker 1: then they park far away from the synagogue and then
- 5:52Speaker 1: they walk. But they're very very very few cause uh
- 5:58Speaker 1: driving uh in the streets are my dad used to
- 6:00Speaker 1: go to. He was a doctor, so he sometimes had
- 6:04Speaker 1: to work on young Kye pool. He would sometimes get
- 6:07Speaker 1: stone stone at him for driving on young peopole. So
- 6:10Speaker 1: Israel can get pretty pretty nasty about this young pepo
- 6:14Speaker 1: stuff in certain neighborhoods at least anyway, yesterday and in
- 6:19Speaker 1: Great Britain, there at a Jewish congregation in Manchester, Manchester,
- 6:26Speaker 1: about three hundred thousand Jews in the United Kingdom, and
- 6:32Speaker 1: this congregation in Manchester, a a somebody, uh, somebody rammed,
- 6:41Speaker 1: came in with a car, you know, drove into a
- 6:44Speaker 1: bunch of people, came out with a knife, started stabbing
- 6:48Speaker 1: people around him, then headed towards the synagogue and tried
- 6:52Speaker 1: to get in. People on the other side of the
- 6:55Speaker 1: door in the synagogue, you know, closed the door held
- 6:58Speaker 1: him back, prevented him from breaking into the synagogue where
- 7:02Speaker 1: I'm sure he was. He wanted to inflict more damage
- 7:07Speaker 1: and do more harm as he's trying to break into
- 7:11Speaker 1: the synagogue, and the police arrive. Uh and and these
- 7:16Speaker 1: are police in England who have guns. Uh go figure anyway,
- 7:21Speaker 1: the police arrive and they shoot him. They shoot him,
- 7:24Speaker 1: and they shoot at him. As a consequence of them
- 7:27Speaker 1: shooting him, uh s on the bullets go through the
- 7:31Speaker 1: door and and and one person on the other side
- 7:35Speaker 1: of the door is killed, another one is injured. So
- 7:39Speaker 1: the total of this is a number of people are injured. UH,
- 7:43Speaker 1: two people who were killed, one directly by the attacker,
- 7:47Speaker 1: the other by the police and trying to kill the attacker.
- 7:51Speaker 1: So still buy the attacker, but but indirectly. And you know,
- 7:58Speaker 1: and and this is UH, you know, this is a
- 8:04Speaker 1: a major antisemitic attack in the UK. Of course, UH.
- 8:12Speaker 1: The the protesters, the UH pro Palestinian protesters, the Pochamas
- 8:18Speaker 1: protesters more accurately, who are in the streets in England
- 8:22Speaker 1: all the time, UH did not did not agree to
- 8:26Speaker 1: to not go into the streets. Yes, yesterday they they
- 8:31Speaker 1: went into the streets. Actually the protests were bigger and
- 8:34Speaker 1: in more cities then we're planned because people were these
- 8:38Speaker 1: people were very excited by the fact that some Jews
- 8:40Speaker 1: had been killed on onpo Now, of course, U, everybody's
- 8:47Speaker 1: was very afraid to attribute, of course, you know, UH
- 8:51Speaker 1: motive to the killer, even though this is his name.
- 8:56Speaker 1: Just just to realize his name, his name was Jihad
- 9:00Speaker 1: al Shami, right, but the Labor Party will not accuse
- 9:06Speaker 1: Jihad al Shami of an active anti Semitic terrorism of jihadism,
- 9:12Speaker 1: even though his name is jihad. They won't. They won't
- 9:15Speaker 1: attribute to that. We we still don't know, we have
- 9:17Speaker 1: to investigate who knows, uh, and general you know, and
- 9:24Speaker 1: generally the response on the left has been muted, non existent.
- 9:30Speaker 1: The response on the many in the Islamic community in
- 9:35Speaker 1: England has been going out to demonstrate against Israel. The
- 9:40Speaker 1: response of many intellectuals on the left is like, look,
- 9:43Speaker 1: this is Israel's fault these Jews, whether they're Zionists or not,
- 9:49Speaker 1: it's their suffering because of what Israel is doing to
- 9:53Speaker 1: the Palestinians. This is all justified because it's it's just
- 9:59Speaker 1: retribution for what Israel is doing. And this is this
- 10:07Speaker 1: is of course a fascinating because nobody has a real
- 10:11Speaker 1: response to this. Uh. And and you're seeing a lot
- 10:15Speaker 1: of people condemn this as antisemitic and they're killing Jews
- 10:19Speaker 1: for being Jews, but almost saying, look, you don't know,
- 10:26Speaker 1: they might not have been Zionists, they might not have
- 10:28Speaker 1: been supported as of Israel. Wait a minute, let me
- 10:32Speaker 1: let me get this straight. She's just saying if they
- 10:34Speaker 1: were support as a visul, would have been okay to
- 10:36Speaker 1: kill them. Yeah, I'll give you an example. And this
- 10:38Speaker 1: is like, this is from the Spectator, which is a conservative,
- 10:43Speaker 1: right wing pro Israel publication by a guy named Nicole
- 10:47Speaker 1: Cohen Shima Jew, why won't they left call out anti
- 10:51Speaker 1: Semitis of what it is? And he writes this Sassin,
- 10:58Speaker 1: a British citizen a Syrian heritage, showed his appreciation for
- 11:02Speaker 1: this country by ramming his car into the grounds of
- 11:05Speaker 1: the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in my home city
- 11:09Speaker 1: of Manchester and stabbing any Jew who could find. He
- 11:14Speaker 1: had never talked to them, He'd never discovered their views
- 11:17Speaker 1: about Israel in Palestine. It wasn't enough that they were Jews.
- 11:23Speaker 1: This is such a cop out, it's such a sellout.
- 11:30Speaker 1: What if he had talked to them, What if it
- 11:32Speaker 1: turned out that they support Israel, that they think Israel's
- 11:37Speaker 1: in the right, would then Nikkoin said, oh, okay, Well
- 11:42Speaker 1: maybe then then it's okay, or then it's not anti Semitism.
- 11:51Speaker 1: The issue of whether these particularly Jews were pro Israel
- 11:56Speaker 1: anti Israel is complempletely irrelevant. The issue of whether the
- 12:02Speaker 1: killer knew whether they were poor Israel mine to Israel
- 12:05Speaker 1: is completely irrelevant. I mean, what's relevant here is violence
- 12:13Speaker 1: is not a means for dealing with disagreement in the West.
- 12:18Speaker 1: Violence is not a means for dealing with disagreement. In
- 12:21Speaker 1: the West, you don't kill people you disagree with, he
- 12:27Speaker 1: kept going. It was enough that they would Jews, and
- 12:30Speaker 1: any Jew would do so he killed one and left
- 12:33Speaker 1: the other to be hit by a straight police bullet
- 12:35Speaker 1: in the fight that followed. These are racist murders, and
- 12:40Speaker 1: if they're not racist murderers, if they're ideologically motivated murders,
- 12:45Speaker 1: just as the huge upsurge and abuse of Jews since
- 12:49Speaker 1: a Moss massacre of October twenty twenty three represents a
- 12:51Speaker 1: huge upsurge in racial hatred. Now, all that is absolutely true.
- 12:56Speaker 1: It is racial hatred. But that's not relevant, and it's
- 13:01Speaker 1: not even relevant. To just label him an anti Semite.
- 13:07Speaker 1: It's way too easy. It's way too letting him off
- 13:10Speaker 1: the hook too easy, and letting off the whole entire
- 13:15Speaker 1: Islamist world off too easy. Is he an anti Semite
- 13:19Speaker 1: like the Nazis? Is he his anti Semite like I
- 13:24Speaker 1: don't know the leftists in the streets? Is he is
- 13:31Speaker 1: anti Is he his anti Semit like Tucker Carlson and
- 13:34Speaker 1: Candice Own. He's a particular type of anti Samily. He's
- 13:41Speaker 1: a particular type of anti Semite. He's a gee Hottist,
- 13:46Speaker 1: He's an Islamist. He's somebody holds an ideology that says
- 13:52Speaker 1: that the West should be destroyed, and by the way,
- 13:56Speaker 1: Jews an important part of that West. And then in
- 14:01Speaker 1: destroying the West, destroying the Jews is a is a
- 14:05Speaker 1: piece of that. It's how you get to where you
- 14:10Speaker 1: want to go. It's not separate, it's not independent of
- 14:18Speaker 1: his ideology of Islamism, his ideology of Sharia law, imposing
- 14:25Speaker 1: Sharia law on Britain, and by by calling me an anti Semite,
- 14:31Speaker 1: it's just it's just, it's just not good enough. This
- 14:36Speaker 1: person is motivated by an ideology, an ideology. The mini
- 14:40Speaker 1: Muslims in Britain hold an ideology that as a consequence
- 14:45Speaker 1: of many Britains Muslims in Britain holding they are acting
- 14:51Speaker 1: in one way another against the very nature Western civilization,
- 14:56Speaker 1: acting in one way or another against the very nature
- 15:00Speaker 1: of the state of Britain. And they have to be opposed.
- 15:07Speaker 1: It is the ideology of Islamism that has to be opposed.
- 15:13Speaker 1: This anti Semitic spinoff is just one piece of it. Yes,
- 15:21Speaker 1: right now, the Islamists are getting a lot of leverage
- 15:25Speaker 1: from globalized into fada from the river to the sea,
- 15:30Speaker 1: from villain, you know, making Israel into the villain. And
- 15:36Speaker 1: that is because they are being aided and embedded by
- 15:40Speaker 1: the left and by some on the right who despise Israel.
- 15:47Speaker 1: So right now it is in the interests of the
- 15:49Speaker 1: Islamists to align themselves with the anti Semites. But the
- 15:55Speaker 1: threat is much broader than just their anti Semitic views.
- 15:59Speaker 1: The threat comes from the Islamist views. The threat comes
- 16:08Speaker 1: from this support you know, in the past, for Isis
- 16:13Speaker 1: and al Qaida, in the present, for Hamas and Chrismala.
- 16:21Speaker 1: These are not just a coalition of anti Semits. What's
- 16:25Speaker 1: really important here is the real threat to the West
- 16:28Speaker 1: is not from anti Semitism. Anti Semitism is just you know,
- 16:35Speaker 1: a early early symptom of the disease. The real threat here,
- 16:44Speaker 1: the real threat here is Islamism. The real threat here
- 16:54Speaker 1: is people who believe the Western civilization must be destroyed
- 16:59Speaker 1: and replace by an Islamic khalifad and that Sharia law
- 17:04Speaker 1: must be imposed on the West. That is the threat.
- 17:09Speaker 1: They happen to be in disguised as as anti Semich
- 17:15Speaker 1: right now. And this has been the threat for I
- 17:28Speaker 1: don't know. Since nine to eleven, suddenly I've been saying
- 17:32Speaker 1: the threat to Europe. You can find you can find
- 17:34Speaker 1: videos of me saying this in two thousand and two
- 17:36Speaker 1: and panels with Daniel Pipes. The threat in Europe is Islamism.
- 17:42Speaker 1: It's only gotten worse. It's only gotten worse because of appeasement,
- 17:47Speaker 1: because of appeasement and compromise and indeed opening up the
- 17:54Speaker 1: doors the Moi Islamists coming over the embrace of Islamism.
- 18:00Speaker 1: It's only gotten worse because nobody would publish the Danish cartoons.
- 18:05Speaker 1: It's only gotten worse because they've taken off all the
- 18:08Speaker 1: paintings of Muhammad from museums in Europe. It's only gotten
- 18:12Speaker 1: worse because nobody's willing to say the enemy is Islamism.
- 18:22Speaker 1: But it has to be said. And unless you say that,
- 18:26Speaker 1: no other solution is viable. There is no solution unless
- 18:31Speaker 1: you're willing to identify the ideology that is the enemy, Islamism,
- 18:42Speaker 1: that is the ideology. No, I mean, doesn't Trump say that, yes,
- 18:49Speaker 1: And at the same time he provides a security guarantee,
- 18:53Speaker 1: a security guarantee as strong as NATO's Article five to
- 18:58Speaker 1: the One Regime in the Middle East, funding Islamism on
- 19:02Speaker 1: the sunny side at least more than any other regime.
- 19:04Speaker 1: And that's Katak. So Trump is useless when it comes
- 19:11Speaker 1: to this. He doesn't say it, and he supports the
- 19:14Speaker 1: worst elements in it. I mean, Christianity is an enemy,
- 19:29Speaker 1: but Christianity is a separate enemy than what we're talking
- 19:31Speaker 1: about right now. Christianity is positioned, dispositioned to us as
- 19:36Speaker 1: the solution to this problem, and that it is clearly not.
- 19:41Speaker 1: Oh again, and you really are pathetic, sometimes really pathetic
- 19:46Speaker 1: pathetic and says he's trying to flip them. That is
- 19:49Speaker 1: so that's so cringe. It is so mindlessness syndrome. It
- 19:56Speaker 1: is so cringe. And I'm not kidding. I've literally got,
- 20:01Speaker 1: you know, cold flashes, because I mean, it's how can
- 20:07Speaker 1: anybody be that mindless? Like Trump did it? It must
- 20:12Speaker 1: be good, So let's rationalize it, all right, But I'm
- 20:18Speaker 1: not surprised. I mean, it's it's and Scott, it's all
- 20:21Speaker 1: the same thing. It's Islamist. And you know, you can
- 20:27Speaker 1: talk about solutions the Islamic problem in Europe and they're
- 20:31Speaker 1: all kinds of solutions, and but you cannot solve anything
- 20:39Speaker 1: without first identifying the cause of the problem. You can't
- 20:43Speaker 1: solve anything without first saying they are the problem. Islamism
- 20:52Speaker 1: is the problem. Jihadism is the problem, and we will
- 21:01Speaker 1: not tolerate it. It is an enemy and we will
- 21:06Speaker 1: fight it. And until the West gets serious about fighting
- 21:15Speaker 1: Islamism jihadism, nothing will happen. I don't care if it's
- 21:22Speaker 1: for form. I don't get the conservatives, I don't give
- 21:25Speaker 1: it's the left. I don't care who it is. If
- 21:28Speaker 1: they don't name it, they can't fight it. By the way,
- 21:31Speaker 1: I said that right after nine to eleven, you cannot
- 21:35Speaker 1: defeat an enemy you are free to name. You cannot
- 21:40Speaker 1: defeat an enemy that you are afraid to name. So yeah,
- 21:51Speaker 1: then in Great Britain, the right is saying it's anti Semitism.
- 21:58Speaker 1: The left is saying, oh, we don't know. He's just
- 22:00Speaker 1: a confused a person, just one individual. And I'm saying
- 22:08Speaker 1: it's Islamism. And until you recognize it's Islamism, left and right,
- 22:14Speaker 1: nothing's going to change, nothing is going to get better.
- 22:19Speaker 1: By the way, this is a guy that it turns out,
- 22:23Speaker 1: who was accused of rape, was out on bail and
- 22:30Speaker 1: his family just just to be clear his family completely
- 22:33Speaker 1: repudiated what he's done. His family says, we fully distance
- 22:37Speaker 1: ourselves from this attack and express a deep shock and
- 22:41Speaker 1: sorrow over what has happened. That's more than the rest
- 22:44Speaker 1: of the Muslim community has done. The hearts and thoughts
- 22:47Speaker 1: are with the victim and his families, and we pray
- 22:49Speaker 1: that their strength for their strength and comfort. So you know,
- 22:53Speaker 1: it's not clear that the family is an Islamist family,
- 22:56Speaker 1: but he was. He was an Islamist. Why they called
- 23:02Speaker 1: him jihad, Why anybody would call their son jihad is
- 23:06Speaker 1: beyond me, but there you go. Yep. But obviously a
- 23:20Speaker 1: sad day in the UK. It looks like both Manchester
- 23:26Speaker 1: United and Manchester City are going to hold a minute
- 23:30Speaker 1: silence at the beginning of their football game. I guess
- 23:34Speaker 1: when did they play on Sunday? In the commemoration of
- 23:42Speaker 1: the victims? Remember this happened in Manchester. So yeah, I mean,
- 23:45Speaker 1: at some point we'll talk more about this in a
- 23:48Speaker 1: future show. At some point you were passed to come
- 23:50Speaker 1: to terms with who it is that is responsible for
- 23:55Speaker 1: the violence in the streets. It's not random, it's not
- 23:59Speaker 1: just Muslims, it's not just a third world culture. It's
- 24:04Speaker 1: none of those things. It's a particularly ideology. It's a
- 24:08Speaker 1: particular set of beliefs. It's and that set of beliefs,
- 24:14Speaker 1: and that ideology really that needs to be shut down,
- 24:21Speaker 1: and for that you need to declare it the enemy.
- 24:25Speaker 1: By the way, just for the record, I've been saying
- 24:28Speaker 1: that for twenty four years. You can find video of
- 24:35Speaker 1: me saying it basically twenty four years ago. So I
- 24:41Speaker 1: haven't said it. You know, maybe it's often recently, just
- 24:47Speaker 1: because I said it's so often in the first ten
- 24:50Speaker 1: years that I got sick of saying it. But it's
- 24:56Speaker 1: you have to deal with root causes, and you have
- 24:59Speaker 1: to be willing to identify root causes, and you have
- 25:01Speaker 1: to have the courage to stand up to the villains
- 25:06Speaker 1: and to recognize that it's ideology. It's religion. Yeah, it's Islam.
- 25:13Speaker 1: It's related to Islam. It's not separate form Islam. Islam
- 25:17Speaker 1: is not a religion of peace, as George Bush would
- 25:21Speaker 1: have us believe. It's religion. Religion is an enemy. What
- 25:31Speaker 1: happened here? Sorry, something happening here? Let me just fix this.
- 25:49Speaker 1: Do you guys lose connection for a second. I don't
- 25:52Speaker 1: know whether the chat disappeared from you. Uh, let's see, right, Yes,
- 26:05Speaker 1: I wrote a book on the topic, Yes I did,
- 26:08Speaker 1: but I can't remember what we talk about there about Europe.
- 26:12Speaker 1: But I've spoken many, many times about the situation in
- 26:14Speaker 1: Europe and what needs to be done. Again, you can
- 26:17Speaker 1: find video, all right, let's see. And of course this
- 26:24Speaker 1: all brings us to the Gaza peace plan, So, as
- 26:28Speaker 1: you probably know, it's everywhere. Trump basically puts together a
- 26:36Speaker 1: peace plan for Gaza that involves Hamas releasing all the
- 26:40Speaker 1: hostages dead and alive, basically disarming and supposedly playing no
- 26:49Speaker 1: role in the future of Gaza. Gaza being taken over
- 26:53Speaker 1: by some kind of international entity aboard run by him
- 26:57Speaker 1: by Trump. Ultimately uh, it turned over to a reformed
- 27:05Speaker 1: and restructured Palestinian authority. While this is happening, forts to
- 27:11Speaker 1: Israel retreats from the gods the Strip and international force
- 27:15Speaker 1: comes in to fill in the security gap. That security
- 27:19Speaker 1: That international force is made up of Arab Arab countries. Uh.
- 27:24Speaker 1: And and this was a proposed peace deal I brought
- 27:35Speaker 1: it in front of people. Is such idiots? I sorry,
- 27:46Speaker 1: I read the chat. I shouldn't. Wyat's his back with
- 27:52Speaker 1: his Uh. Uh, you know, inability to think. Uh. So Uh.
- 28:01Speaker 1: The idea is Israel with draws uh to pre basically
- 28:04Speaker 1: prey October seventh, Uh to prey October eighth border. And
- 28:11Speaker 1: I guess the Arab world, together with the United States
- 28:13Speaker 1: and maybe Europe and maybe the countries, rebuild Gaza into whatever. Uh.
- 28:20Speaker 1: Nathaniel was brought to the White House. Uh in order
- 28:23Speaker 1: to agree to this plan. As part of that meeting,
- 28:27Speaker 1: Ntenell was was he was demanded of Nataennell to call
- 28:32Speaker 1: the Prime Minister of Katau apologize for Israel's attack on
- 28:38Speaker 1: Hamas in Katau. And which he did. Yeah, he had
- 28:44Speaker 1: a script and and he and he and he read
- 28:47Speaker 1: the script and he called the Prime Minister of Katau.
- 28:51Speaker 1: He committed to never attacking Katau again. Uh, never attacking
- 28:55Speaker 1: Hamas in Katau. He expressed condolences to I guess or
- 29:01Speaker 1: regret for the fact that one Katari citizen was killed
- 29:03Speaker 1: in the attack. I mean just a pathetic, just a
- 29:06Speaker 1: pathetic display, but part of the course, I guess. And Natano,
- 29:12Speaker 1: in spite of having a great reservations about this plan,
- 29:16Speaker 1: and in spite of the fact that his coalition partners
- 29:18Speaker 1: in Israel have significant reservations about this plan. Basically agreed
- 29:24Speaker 1: to the plan. Hamas has been dragging their feet a
- 29:27Speaker 1: week without giving a response, but supposedly based on the press,
- 29:31Speaker 1: based on the news and reading right now, they are
- 29:34Speaker 1: over the last hour or so the last couple of
- 29:37Speaker 1: hours have responded to the plan positively in a sense
- 29:41Speaker 1: that they're willing to release all the hostages. They want
- 29:45Speaker 1: some clarifications, they claim, and they want to renegotiate certain
- 29:48Speaker 1: parts of it, primarily about giving up their weapons and
- 29:55Speaker 1: about their involvement in the future of Gaza. It's gonna
- 30:00Speaker 1: be really, really, really interesting to see, uh, whether the
- 30:04Speaker 1: United States and Israel are willing to negotiate with Ramas
- 30:07Speaker 1: about these points, whether this agreement is still open for negotiations,
- 30:11Speaker 1: or whether it's a done deal. And I think we
- 30:14Speaker 1: will know within the next few days whether this is
- 30:17Speaker 1: a done deal. Ramas is very good. They're very good
- 30:20Speaker 1: at dragging these things out of giving people enough hope
- 30:23Speaker 1: that they are they're going for it to uh keep
- 30:29Speaker 1: it being dragged out. I also think that what's going
- 30:33Speaker 1: on is that within Haramas is significant disagreements about the agreement,
- 30:40Speaker 1: but they're gonna They're gonna play the game, and we'll
- 30:43Speaker 1: see if the United States and AS will let them
- 30:45Speaker 1: play the game. I guess is that the answer is yes. Uh.
- 30:48Speaker 1: Trump wants to steal done. Uh. And so they will delay, delay,
- 30:54Speaker 1: delay as much as they can. How much they can
- 30:56Speaker 1: delay is hard to tell. I mean, the good news
- 30:59Speaker 1: is that probably the consequence of this will be the
- 31:02Speaker 1: release of the hostages. That is good news. You'll probably
- 31:06Speaker 1: see both the live and the bodies of the dead
- 31:09Speaker 1: hostages released within a couple of weeks, assuming that Ramas
- 31:14Speaker 1: will ultimately negotiate something that allows them to say, Okay,
- 31:21Speaker 1: that's fine. So that is that is kind of the
- 31:35Speaker 1: state of play. As part of all this, Trump also
- 31:40Speaker 1: gave the Kataris a security guarantee with no conditions attached
- 31:43Speaker 1: to it. No conditions about the Qatarish changing their minds,
- 31:48Speaker 1: no conditions about the Qataris stopping the front terrorism, no
- 31:51Speaker 1: conditions about the Qataris shutting down Alga zero, maybe shifting
- 31:55Speaker 1: l Jazeer to be a little bit more moderate. No
- 31:59Speaker 1: conditions about the Katawi's abandoning the Muslim brotherhood. None, no
- 32:04Speaker 1: conditions at all. Donald Trump gave them a security guarantee
- 32:08Speaker 1: basically implying that if Israel attacks Katao again, the United
- 32:13Speaker 1: States as at war with Israel, which is the implication
- 32:16Speaker 1: of the security guarantee. It is anybody who text Itali
- 32:20Speaker 1: is an enemy of the United States, the United States
- 32:22Speaker 1: is guaranteed to come and protect them. Really pretty astounding
- 32:28Speaker 1: move for the President of the United States. But you
- 32:33Speaker 1: know that's what we have as part of this deal.
- 32:39Speaker 1: You got a number of Muslim and Arab countries signing
- 32:45Speaker 1: on in agreement with the Piece deal, including countries like Toki, Egypt,
- 32:50Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia. But even as far as I think Indonesia
- 32:54Speaker 1: and Malaysia and Pakistan, Pakistan is playing a big role here.
- 32:59Speaker 1: Pakistan of course now has security guarantee with Saudi Arabia,
- 33:02Speaker 1: and Trump is very friendly with the Pakistanis. Go figure
- 33:06Speaker 1: Trump and the Pakistanis. Yeah, hard to tell, but I'm sure.
- 33:10Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a Ford d Chess reason for it.
- 33:13Speaker 1: There's a forty chess reason for Trump being friendly with
- 33:18Speaker 1: the Pakistanis, don't I mean, just ask An if you're
- 33:20Speaker 1: not sure what it is, she'll explain it to you.
- 33:23Speaker 1: But I mean, as you know, I think any Piece
- 33:30Speaker 1: deal with Hamas is abomination, even this one, which is
- 33:34Speaker 1: not bad. This is about as good as it gets.
- 33:37Speaker 1: But the idea that that you negotiate with Hamas, the
- 33:46Speaker 1: idea that you, you know, you recognize the legitimacy by
- 33:53Speaker 1: negotiating with them, I think is absurd. I think again,
- 33:58Speaker 1: I mean the idea of security Guaranteed Katau, which is
- 34:01Speaker 1: a major funder of terrorism around the world and a
- 34:04Speaker 1: major funder of Islamism around the world. They are the fund,
- 34:06Speaker 1: they are the fund and support home of protector of
- 34:10Speaker 1: the Muslim Brotherhood, which is the fountain head of all
- 34:13Speaker 1: these Islamist groups. That is a travesty and a betrayal.
- 34:23Speaker 1: So I think long term, I think the peace deal,
- 34:26Speaker 1: this peace deal is is no good. It hurts Israel,
- 34:29Speaker 1: it h's the West, it hurts the United States. It
- 34:31Speaker 1: makes it very difficult to fight the broader battle against
- 34:35Speaker 1: uh Islamism and jihadism when you're you know, making best
- 34:41Speaker 1: friends with the people who support jihadism and Islamism. It
- 34:44Speaker 1: also it also suggests that a Palestinian state is in
- 34:48Speaker 1: the future. It doesn't completely, it doesn't. Basically, uh, there's
- 34:54Speaker 1: no there's no provision for justice towards those of on
- 34:58Speaker 1: Kamas who are still alive, who are responsible for October seventh,
- 35:02Speaker 1: there's no provision there for them being tried. Indeed, as
- 35:06Speaker 1: part of this, Israel is supposed to release one hundred
- 35:09Speaker 1: and fifty murderers, one hundred and fifty terrorist murderers, and
- 35:13Speaker 1: thousands of detainees that they've arrested. So there's no there's
- 35:18Speaker 1: no justice in this, there's no thought about justice. This
- 35:23Speaker 1: is very much what these really public wants, in a
- 35:26Speaker 1: sense that all these really public seems to care about
- 35:29Speaker 1: these days is the release of the hostages. And I
- 35:32Speaker 1: think this just gets them that if it goes through.
- 35:40Speaker 1: And look, Hamas is very weak right now, so it
- 35:45Speaker 1: takes advantage of that, and it gets them at their
- 35:47Speaker 1: weak points. And maybe there's a chance that there's so
- 35:50Speaker 1: weak that they will never recover, but I wouldn't bet
- 35:53Speaker 1: on that, and I wouldn't better on the fact. I
- 35:56Speaker 1: wouldn't better on the fact that the Kataris will fund
- 35:58Speaker 1: them into recovery, and not just the Katari's but others.
- 36:03Speaker 1: So I'm not happy with bees Steele. As I told
- 36:08Speaker 1: you a long long time ago, the way to solve
- 36:11Speaker 1: the problem in Gaza is the complete and another destruction of Hamas,
- 36:15Speaker 1: and that needed to be done militarily. It needed to
- 36:18Speaker 1: be done aggressively, and need to be done eighteen months ago,
- 36:24Speaker 1: not today. It's a late and not after negotiating round
- 36:29Speaker 1: after round after round after round after round of ceasefires
- 36:33Speaker 1: with him. They should have been taken out right at
- 36:36Speaker 1: the beginning. But it is what it is. The appeasement
- 36:47Speaker 1: of Islamism, just like in England, in the Middle East continues.
- 36:53Speaker 1: It didn't start yesterday, it didn't start with Trump. It's
- 36:57Speaker 1: been going on forever. Israel is the large extent responsible.
- 37:01Speaker 1: The United States is responsible. I warned against this in
- 37:06Speaker 1: nine to eleven and after Oslo, and over and over
- 37:10Speaker 1: and over again. It's a never ending, never ending conflict.
- 37:15Speaker 1: I mean, there is some hope that the demand for
- 37:19Speaker 1: Palestinian and authority reform will be real this time. We'll see,
- 37:25Speaker 1: but a lot of this is about execution and will
- 37:28Speaker 1: it be executed, And allow me to be skeptical. I
- 37:32Speaker 1: am still one who believes that the only solution is
- 37:35Speaker 1: Israel occupying Gaza, ripping out every last vestige of Ramas
- 37:42Speaker 1: and destroying it. I would rearrest every single one of
- 37:48Speaker 1: the people Israel released in the hostage exchanges. Now put
- 37:54Speaker 1: them back in jail, and I would occupy the guards
- 38:00Speaker 1: of Strip and if they if people want to rebuild it,
- 38:04Speaker 1: then find let the money come in to rebuild it.
- 38:07Speaker 1: Unday is really supervision and Day's reeli supervision so that
- 38:13Speaker 1: tunnels and bombs and missile launchers are not facilitated by it. Okay,
- 38:22Speaker 1: So we will keep track of this piece stale. It's
- 38:24Speaker 1: not the last time we'll talk about it, but it does.
- 38:26Speaker 1: I mean, the headline in n PR right now is
- 38:28Speaker 1: Hamas agrees to parts of peace steal after Trump gets deadline,
- 38:34Speaker 1: and the BBC says Haramas says it agrees to release
- 38:38Speaker 1: Israeli hostages, but seeks changes the US guards a peace plan.
- 38:42Speaker 1: It's exactly what Trump's response to that is going to be.
- 38:46Speaker 1: We will we will see, all right. I want to
- 38:50Speaker 1: cover two other quick stories, uh, and then I'll go
- 38:53Speaker 1: to your questions and then I'll probably ask you to to, uh,
- 39:01Speaker 1: you know, make the show a short show. Were not
- 39:03Speaker 1: to overtax my voice as you again earlier in the
- 39:10Speaker 1: in the week, UH, Secretary of heg Seth invited all
- 39:17Speaker 1: generals uh to to a meeting. UH. This is unprecedented.
- 39:24Speaker 1: I don't think it's ever happened before. Uh. And they
- 39:27Speaker 1: all came in and uh, they all sat in a
- 39:29Speaker 1: big lecture room and uh heg Seth and then uh
- 39:33Speaker 1: President Trump got up and uh and gave them a talk.
- 39:37Speaker 1: And gave them a talk. It was fascinating to watch.
- 39:45Speaker 1: Right first, the general sat in silence. There was no cheering, clapping, nothing,
- 39:54Speaker 1: not the beginning of the talk, not the middle. On
- 39:56Speaker 1: the end, I think it completely shook Trump. He's not
- 40:00Speaker 1: used to this. They just sat there, stone faced and
- 40:03Speaker 1: did not respond to what he said. And I think
- 40:08Speaker 1: he felt really, really weird about that. Anyway, Heck, Seth
- 40:12Speaker 1: went out and gave this passionate speech, parts of which
- 40:16Speaker 1: I agree with doing away with stupid rules of engagement.
- 40:20Speaker 1: But it was all done in this condescending You know,
- 40:27Speaker 1: Fox Newsy, I know better than you this is the
- 40:30Speaker 1: way we should fight wars in the future kind of way.
- 40:33Speaker 1: Probably not the best way to change attitudes among generals
- 40:38Speaker 1: in your military. If you really want to change rules
- 40:42Speaker 1: of engagement, you've got to change what's being taught at
- 40:44Speaker 1: West Point. You've got to change how these generals think
- 40:47Speaker 1: about war. There was no grand theory delivered here. There
- 40:52Speaker 1: was no perspective on, well, what is going to replace
- 40:56Speaker 1: the rules of engagement? There was no engagement with the
- 41:00Speaker 1: ideas of just war theory and what should replace just
- 41:03Speaker 1: war theory, and and and how I should conduct on
- 41:06Speaker 1: self in a war? You know. So I agree with
- 41:12Speaker 1: the sentiment, but not worth not with a way except delimited,
- 41:21Speaker 1: and not with he means by it. Part of it.
- 41:27Speaker 1: Part of it is that does he mean by it
- 41:31Speaker 1: that we should the United States military should act like
- 41:33Speaker 1: the Russian military great pillage weight goes And that's hopefully
- 41:40Speaker 1: not what he means. But he didn't say what he means.
- 41:44Speaker 1: He left it as an empty nothing, so it landed
- 41:48Speaker 1: up being meaningless and stupid. In the generals in the
- 41:52Speaker 1: room knew that and know that what's alternative? Layout? Layout?
- 41:58Speaker 1: A layout something and now should be something that should
- 42:03Speaker 1: have been prepared in writing in advance, should be handed out,
- 42:06Speaker 1: should have been presented. Hexath then called out the military
- 42:16Speaker 1: for lack of physical preparedness. And this is something again
- 42:20Speaker 1: I agree with. He said that fat generals and fat
- 42:25Speaker 1: soldiers were an embarrassment. I agree with that. I would
- 42:29Speaker 1: add fat and I said this during BLM fat policeman.
- 42:36Speaker 1: The police need to be We need to get the
- 42:38Speaker 1: police up to up to you know, uh uh physical standards.
- 42:42Speaker 1: But yeah, the military should be in shape. He also
- 42:49Speaker 1: eliminated kind of the agender bias in physical physical training,
- 42:54Speaker 1: which I agree with. That is, it should be a
- 42:57Speaker 1: male base standard. If a woman can make that, if
- 43:01Speaker 1: going can achieve that level a fitness, great, but it
- 43:05Speaker 1: should be whatever combat demands in terms of fitness. So
- 43:15Speaker 1: again I agreed with the sentiment, but he said it
- 43:19Speaker 1: and again an insulting, stupid kind of way to a
- 43:22Speaker 1: bunch of generals. There, he really is a he's a again,
- 43:28Speaker 1: he's a he's a Fox commentator. And and these are
- 43:31Speaker 1: people who are lifetime in the military. There's probably a
- 43:36Speaker 1: much much better way to make the case for both
- 43:39Speaker 1: of those things, uh and and for for everything he
- 43:42Speaker 1: he wanted to address there, uh and and the basic
- 43:45Speaker 1: things that that actually seemed like, uh they made sense
- 43:50Speaker 1: uh other than this way, right, other than this way.
- 44:01Speaker 1: So that was ex seth. You know, a lot of
- 44:04Speaker 1: what he said, I agreed with him, like the way
- 44:06Speaker 1: he said it then, like I didn't think it was
- 44:09Speaker 1: the appropriate means and appropriate place to express these ideas
- 44:14Speaker 1: and to lecture to a bunch of generals about them.
- 44:18Speaker 1: Then came up Trump, and Trump, of course is I
- 44:22Speaker 1: think he's losing it. I don't think he's cognitively completely there.
- 44:26Speaker 1: He rambled for an hour, He rambled for an now,
- 44:29Speaker 1: all over the place, a lot of it incoherent. But
- 44:33Speaker 1: by the way, part of part of, you know, part
- 44:35Speaker 1: of his meeting with Natanielle was just embarrassing. I mean,
- 44:42Speaker 1: he went on and on and on about how this
- 44:43Speaker 1: conflict is a conflict of not just decades of centuries, really,
- 44:49Speaker 1: and he said, really, five thousand years, thousands of year,
- 44:51Speaker 1: thousands of years this has been going on. He really
- 44:55Speaker 1: doesn't know what he's talking about. And I don't think
- 44:58Speaker 1: he knows he doesn't know what he's talking about. He
- 45:00Speaker 1: doesn't know enough to know how stupid what he says is.
- 45:04Speaker 1: And everybody is so used to his stupidity or to
- 45:09Speaker 1: their ignorance that he expresses, then nobody even calls him
- 45:13Speaker 1: out on it. Like if any other president said something
- 45:17Speaker 1: like that this conflict is hundreds of years and thousands
- 45:21Speaker 1: of years, people would have said, no, that's ridiculous, there's
- 45:25Speaker 1: no conflict. I mean, Israel didn't exist hundreds of years ago,
- 45:28Speaker 1: Palestinians Arabs. I mean, none of this existed biblical land.
- 45:35Speaker 1: You know, this is very different. This isn't the same conflict.
- 45:39Speaker 1: Conflicts back then were Romans and Greeks and all kinds
- 45:42Speaker 1: of stuff. But nobody calls him on these things because
- 45:48Speaker 1: he does it all the time. He says so many
- 45:52Speaker 1: wrong things, permit it that you can't correct them all.
- 45:56Speaker 1: So people don't bother anymore. So let's not focus on
- 46:01Speaker 1: all the bs that he said during this talk. We'll
- 46:05Speaker 1: focus on what he said. There was a coherence and
- 46:09Speaker 1: what is scary because what he basically told the generals was,
- 46:16Speaker 1: I want you to start focusing on this new strategy
- 46:20Speaker 1: that we have, and the new strategy that we have
- 46:23Speaker 1: is America first, and that means we need you in
- 46:27Speaker 1: the military to refute focus your efforts on defending the
- 46:33Speaker 1: United States, not from enemies from outside but from the
- 46:39Speaker 1: but from the enemies within. The war that is being
- 46:44Speaker 1: waged is a war from within. He's telling the US military,
- 46:51Speaker 1: I'm going to be using you to go after domestic enemies.
- 47:00Speaker 1: You know, and again this is always vague and ambiguousness
- 47:03Speaker 1: to what he means, but you can see what he means.
- 47:06Speaker 1: You can see it. You can see it in cities
- 47:07Speaker 1: all over the United States today, with ice and National
- 47:11Speaker 1: Guard troops all over the place. You can see it
- 47:14Speaker 1: with black Hawk helicopters being used to attack. So, you know,
- 47:20Speaker 1: supposedly illegal immigrants with maybe some of your citizens get
- 47:23Speaker 1: caught up in the in the crossairs. Who cares. I mean,
- 47:26Speaker 1: it's all for the good cause of deporting immigrants. If
- 47:29Speaker 1: a few American citizens lose their rights, why are we
- 47:33Speaker 1: getting so excited about it? What he really means is
- 47:37Speaker 1: the militarization of American streets. What he really means is
- 47:40Speaker 1: they're bringing in the American military onto American streets to
- 47:44Speaker 1: fight and invisible enemy, an enemy that doesn't have tanks
- 47:49Speaker 1: and doesn't It's not it's not a huge acceleration of
- 47:55Speaker 1: violence in American streets. Quite opposite. The violence is that
- 47:59Speaker 1: is it relatively lows right now, you know, decades long lows.
- 48:07Speaker 1: Is this to go after the enemy that is the
- 48:10Speaker 1: Democratic Party, the enemy that is the left, the enemy
- 48:14Speaker 1: that might steal the next election. So maybe we need
- 48:17Speaker 1: troops after outside polling places to make sure they vote,
- 48:20Speaker 1: people vote the right way. What is this This is
- 48:26Speaker 1: the kind of the kind of stuff that authoritarians do.
- 48:30Speaker 1: They use the military for their domestic disputes. They used
- 48:34Speaker 1: the militaries to settle domestic rivalries. And he's not explicit
- 48:42Speaker 1: about And the general sat there and it's hard to
- 48:47Speaker 1: tell what they thought. A couple of them have already
- 48:50Speaker 1: resigned since that meeting. Good for them. I wish they'd
- 48:54Speaker 1: all in mass resigned. That would have been much more effective.
- 48:59Speaker 1: But you know, he said, I told Pete Hexath, we
- 49:05Speaker 1: should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds
- 49:08Speaker 1: or a military National Guard training ground for what? What
- 49:12Speaker 1: are we training them for? Training four other American cities?
- 49:19Speaker 1: So you know we've now Trump has now ordered federal
- 49:23Speaker 1: troops to Portland, Oregon. I mean, it might have made
- 49:27Speaker 1: sense to send federal troops to Portland, Oregon in twenty
- 49:31Speaker 1: twenty twenty when when Antifa was burning down the place.
- 49:35Speaker 1: But it's actually quite quiet now in Portland, Oregon. There's
- 49:38Speaker 1: not a lot of violence in Portland, Oregon. It's gone
- 49:41Speaker 1: back to being a fairly peaceful place. But now you're
- 49:46Speaker 1: sending federal troops to do what well to create conflict,
- 49:52Speaker 1: and that's indeed what they're doing creating conflict. If they
- 49:56Speaker 1: weren't demonstrations before in Portland, Oregon, they show on now
- 50:02Speaker 1: his troops being there is going to guarantee that. So
- 50:10Speaker 1: just a scary performance. You know. Trump is just pushing
- 50:17Speaker 1: the boundaries and pushing the boundaries and pushing the boundaries,
- 50:21Speaker 1: and he wants to see where he gets pushed back.
- 50:23Speaker 1: And he's not getting pushed back. He's not getting real
- 50:27Speaker 1: pushback anyway. I mean, they got pushed back. I think
- 50:31Speaker 1: they got pushed back from the Jimmy Jimmy Kimo situation, right,
- 50:37Speaker 1: the FCC chairman who really got pushed back from a
- 50:39Speaker 1: lot of people on the right. A lot of commentators
- 50:41Speaker 1: on the right went after the Trump administration and the
- 50:44Speaker 1: FCC for the comments they made about Kimo. So when
- 50:48Speaker 1: Kimo came back, well, Trump wasn't happy about it. The
- 50:51Speaker 1: FCC kind of backed off and said, oh no, no, we
- 50:53Speaker 1: were kidding. And that's the pushback they got. But here
- 50:56Speaker 1: they're not getting pushed back from anybody. They're not getting
- 51:04Speaker 1: pushed back from anybody the left, the mainstream media, which
- 51:09Speaker 1: is they consider part of the left. So but the
- 51:15Speaker 1: right is not rising up against them. Congress is not
- 51:19Speaker 1: rising up against them. He can deploy troops to any
- 51:24Speaker 1: city if he wants in the United States, and the
- 51:26Speaker 1: right will go along with it. His fans will go
- 51:29Speaker 1: along with it, Congress will go along with it. So
- 51:34Speaker 1: he'll keep doing it. He'll keep doing it by one area.
- 51:39Speaker 1: One additional area where he's pushing is this idea of
- 51:45Speaker 1: you know, we're at war in the South Caribbean with
- 51:49Speaker 1: drug smugglers. They before today they have blown up three boats,
- 51:56Speaker 1: killing I don't know, almost twenty people. Today they blow
- 51:59Speaker 1: up an the boat killing four people. Uh no, due process,
- 52:07Speaker 1: no evidence. They're what I mean, let's say they're drug smugglers.
- 52:19Speaker 1: What do we usually do with drug smugglers or send
- 52:21Speaker 1: them to jail. We don't execute them on the spot.
- 52:24Speaker 1: Now we're executing people in the High Seas for being
- 52:29Speaker 1: suspected drug smugglers, and nobody seems to think that's a problem.
- 52:36Speaker 1: We just shoot them out of the sky. You know,
- 52:39Speaker 1: we've declared them uh. He called it a He said
- 52:44Speaker 1: he declared it a non international armed conflict that is
- 52:49Speaker 1: not with another country with the drug cantails. There's an
- 52:52Speaker 1: armed conflict with the drug cantails. I mean, just bizarre.
- 53:01Speaker 1: He's let Congress know that we're engaged in such a
- 53:04Speaker 1: non conflict. Congress, of course, because control by Republicans won't
- 53:08Speaker 1: do anything about it. They've declared the do Cartel's knocko terrorists,
- 53:13Speaker 1: and therefore this is part of I guess the war
- 53:15Speaker 1: on terrorism, as part of the danger of ever calling
- 53:18Speaker 1: a war a war on terrorism. And they just blow
- 53:25Speaker 1: up boats coming out of Venezuela and kill people at will.
- 53:38Speaker 1: And this is exactly, this is exactly what is stastic.
- 53:43Speaker 1: What are the limits? Who can I kill? What can
- 53:47Speaker 1: I destroy? How can I use the military? How far
- 53:51Speaker 1: can I go? All indications are that they intend to
- 53:59Speaker 1: go after them a dual government and depose it. I'm
- 54:03Speaker 1: not necessarily against that if they can do it without
- 54:06Speaker 1: placing American soldiers at risk. But this is the I
- 54:11Speaker 1: thought this was an anti war President. Puerto Rico has
- 54:20Speaker 1: thirty five aircrafts now we have eight US warships in
- 54:24Speaker 1: the region. There are marines and sailors and at least
- 54:29Speaker 1: one nuclear powered submarine. There are significant troop movements here
- 54:34Speaker 1: in Puerto Rico around the military basis that we for
- 54:38Speaker 1: years closed, and there is lots of indications that Maduro
- 54:43Speaker 1: is the target. Has there been a declaration of war
- 54:47Speaker 1: by Congress? No, as Trump asked for one. No. Again,
- 54:58Speaker 1: let's just push see what we can get away with.
- 55:01Speaker 1: We're not going to ask for permission. We're gonna do
- 55:04Speaker 1: what I want to do. I eat what Trump wants
- 55:07Speaker 1: to do, and then we'll we'll figure it out as
- 55:10Speaker 1: we go along. So yeah, keep We'll keep an eye
- 55:17Speaker 1: out on what is going on in the Caribbean and
- 55:21Speaker 1: here in Puerto Rico. We'll keep an eye out on
- 55:25Speaker 1: developments vis A vis Venezuela, UH and the war on drugs. Again,
- 55:35Speaker 1: very few of the drugs that arrive in the United
- 55:37Speaker 1: States come through the Caribbean. Most of them come through
- 55:40Speaker 1: the Pacific or just a Mexican border. It doesn't matter
- 55:45Speaker 1: to Trump, that's not the point. All right, let's call
- 55:53Speaker 1: that the news for October third. This Friday, I'll just
- 55:57Speaker 1: set you know, I'm gonna try to do a show
- 55:59Speaker 1: tomorrow Sunday again, depending on where they have a voice
- 56:02Speaker 1: after today's show, and depending on how I feel tomorrow
- 56:05Speaker 1: and Sunday. But I'm going to try to do as
- 56:07Speaker 1: many shows as I can to kind of make up
- 56:08Speaker 1: for the fact that we haven't done many shows over
- 56:10Speaker 1: the last two weeks, so we'll try to do a
- 56:14Speaker 1: bunch of shows going forward. We've got a lot of questions.
- 56:20Speaker 1: I'm going to try to cover them all. We'll see
- 56:24Speaker 1: how successful I am. But all right, lots of questions.
- 56:36Speaker 1: Let's see it is all right, all right, I'm gonna
- 56:42Speaker 1: now remind you of the sponsors are today just to
- 56:44Speaker 1: save my voice. We'll do that tomorrow and you can
- 56:48Speaker 1: check out the sponsors in below, check their websites out.
- 56:55Speaker 1: Let's just jump into the questions, all right, Michael. It's
- 57:00Speaker 1: interesting why some personalities are able to garner cult like
- 57:03Speaker 1: following in others can't. If it like being eliminated, I
- 57:07Speaker 1: don't think Goobols could have sustained it. The people wouldn't
- 57:10Speaker 1: have followed them, saying with Trump without him, maggot disintegrates. Yes,
- 57:14Speaker 1: there's no question. Uh. Most of these kind of movements
- 57:20Speaker 1: are very much called personalities. I don't think I don't
- 57:23Speaker 1: think communism really takes roots in Russia without Lenin and uh,
- 57:28Speaker 1: and I'm not sure. And yeah, you need a hitler,
- 57:32Speaker 1: you need somebody who has that charisma call it and uh,
- 57:38Speaker 1: I think that's true all over the place. The Chavez
- 57:41Speaker 1: in Venezuela. It required our mounts, a town in in China,
- 57:48Speaker 1: and it very much became a cult personality. It was
- 57:52Speaker 1: about Mao and uh, you know, it was Mao's read book.
- 57:56Speaker 1: It was Mao everything. It was Mao's by you know,
- 57:58Speaker 1: everybody could recite from our read book. You know, these
- 58:02Speaker 1: movements are always very much oriented towards an individual, a person,
- 58:08Speaker 1: somebody to lead them. And and and this makes sense
- 58:10Speaker 1: because they're all basically a reversion backward, reversion to to tribalism.
- 58:24Speaker 1: And the tribe needs a leader, The tribe needs somebody
- 58:30Speaker 1: to follow. The tribe doesn't know what to do. The
- 58:34Speaker 1: tribe has no identity without a leader, without a a Attila,
- 58:39Speaker 1: the han a ginghis hahn uh, somebody, a leader, somebody
- 58:45Speaker 1: who tells them this is what you should do, this
- 58:47Speaker 1: is what you should sacrifice for. They're all ready to sacrifice,
- 58:50Speaker 1: but they don't know what for. And it is the
- 58:53Speaker 1: leader who gives them direction, who gives them meaning, who
- 58:56Speaker 1: gives them purpose. It's very hard to have authoritarianism. It's
- 59:02Speaker 1: really impossible to have a theoitarianism without a kind of
- 59:06Speaker 1: a worship of the leader. Otherwise, who are they? Who
- 59:10Speaker 1: are they supposed to die for right. Soviet Union is
- 59:15Speaker 1: very different. When Stalin is gone and the fearless leader
- 59:20Speaker 1: is gone, Communism in China can't survive once Mao is
- 59:25Speaker 1: gone beyond a couple of years. He dies in seventy
- 59:29Speaker 1: six or seventy eight. For seventy eight, it starts completely
- 59:32Speaker 1: falling apart. Yeah, I don't know if any authoritarian movement
- 59:41Speaker 1: that does not be you know, reentered around a powerful, significant, charismatic,
- 59:47Speaker 1: certain personality leader who is the one who channels the
- 59:52Speaker 1: truth to the tribe and tells them how, where, when,
- 59:57Speaker 1: for what they are being sacrificed. So absolutely, yeah, absolutely right.
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: And you know it's a it's a it's authoritarian leader,
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: absolutist leader, a leader that can do no wrong, clearly
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: a personality or what do you call it, worship of
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: a personality. You don't get that in free countries. The president,
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: the leader never becomes the point. He never becomes the point,
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: and to the extent where you know there's fear of
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: him becoming the point. That's when you know freedom is
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: in trouble. So when it's all about FDR, well, we're
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: in trouble. When it's all about Trump well, we're in trouble.
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: It's all about Obama. We're in trouble. It's when the
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: leader becomes this focal point of worship that you know
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: freedom is in trouble. But in George Washington, when he
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: sensed that that's what it looked like, was quick to
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: walk away because he didn't want that, because he understood
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: that if you're too strong a personality, you can become that.
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: But authoritarian regimes, it's exactly what they want, and they
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: cultivate that. They cultivate the culture personality. Freedom doesn't cultivate
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: culture personalities. You can have leaders who are not culture personalities. Happer,
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: Hopper Campbell Part one. Trump and Mamdani share a fundness
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: for strong arming private companies that raise prices. Donnie wants
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: to freeze rents. Trump wants to freeze drug prices. I
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think Trump is a socialist in
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: a sense. He genuinely likes business and has no problem
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: with profits. Yet he has this in common with socialists.
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: He thinks the country runs better when he tells companies
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: and they show old us what to do. Yes, I mean,
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: I don't think Trump's a socialist, and that would require
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: him to have an ideology, and he doesn't. But Trump
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: very much shares the idea that he can manage stuff,
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: and he has no qualms about the government running things.
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: We now have And I didn't make this a news item,
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: but I will talk about it tomorrow. Trump RX Basically,
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: we've now established a government run drug store, like Donnie
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: wants to do a government run grocery store, or Trump
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: has just a dune him. By creating a federal at
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: the federal level, a government run drug store, American people
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: will be able to buy drugs cheaply from the government.
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: How's that not socialism. It's just as bad as what
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: Mum Danny wants to do. Well, unless you believe that
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: Trump is a four D thinker and therefore has some
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: pro capitalist motivation at the end of the day, which
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: I'm sure and does. But no, I mean, he's just
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: a He's just an opportunist, a powerluster who will just
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: take anything he can, and he has no ideology. He
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: doesn't care. He doesn't care if the government runs things.
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: It doesn't run things. The government is taking on more
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: and more and more positions in private companies. It took
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: on another position in another a rare Earth company in
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: the United States. It's going to take a position in Intel.
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: It's not running a drug company. There is intention within
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: the Trump administration to get more involved with private companies,
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: not less involved with private companies. So there is more
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: and more and more you know what anybody else, if
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: anybody else was doing more and more socialism in this administration,
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: then any other administration I know of. No other administration
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: I know of has done more to control American industry
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: and to basically, uh take equity positions in American industries
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: in this administration. In that sense, it's the most socialist
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: administration we've ever had. If a Democrat were doing the
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: things that Trump was doing, Republicans would be horrified. I mean,
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: this negotiated deal with is deal with TikTok. I mean
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: all of it is government meddling in the private markets.
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: And it's exactly what we accuse socialists of doing, what
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: we accused democrats are doing, And this is exactly what
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: Trump is doing. Not your average algorithm. You said in
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: your Q and A that we get faked out, like
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: when it comes to the Tea Party, that all political
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: movements are fundamentally collectivistic, Whether Reagan and Thatcher phenomena fake
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: outs as well or legitimate steps in the right direction. Well,
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: clearly Reagan was a fake out on a massive scale
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: and at an incredibly damaging scale. So Reagan was a
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: complete fake out. He he he talked to talk that
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: very little action was taken. Goument deficits exploded, go and
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: spending exploded under Ronald Reagan, not just on defense, govern
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: spending more broadly exploded. We didn't at shrinking in the
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: welfare state. You got some shrinkage in regulatory state. Again,
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: most of that was Jimmy Carter. Some under Reagan, but
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: most of it was Jimmy Carter. And you know, he
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: talked a big talk about I don't know, let's see,
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: he's Ballah and Iran and did nothing when the Marines
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: barracks were blown up. So, no, Reagan was a total
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: was a total fake out. And what did he actually
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: do or was this lasting legacy? It was lasting legacy.
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: His lasting legacy was bringing in the religious right into
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: the Republican Party. His lasting legacy was the Republican Party
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: of today, MAGA, the mystics takeover of the Republican Party.
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: That's Reagan's lasting legacy. So was he a fake out. Yeah,
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: I don't think Thatcher was. Really she didn't live up
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: to but she did more than I think could be
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: expected given the state of British political thinking and the
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: state of her political party and her popularity. So she
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: was limited, but she didn't do that much and as
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: a consequence, it was very easy to reverse what she
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: had done ultimately, and again, look good where the UK
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: is today. It's a complete, or not a unequivocal basket case.
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: And it's a basket cake because of the Conservative Party.
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: The Conservative Party has led Britain most of the last
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: fifteen years. It's led it into this situation. So in
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: many respects, suddenly regular was a fake out. Maybe Thatcher
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: was not. But she couldn't go where she needed to
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: go because the country wasn't ready for her, and she
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: left in a whimpa because of that, and to this
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: day Brits don't like her. She's so unappreciated. It's shocking,
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: it's shocking. So yeah, I mean, in the world in
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: which we live, all these political movements are fundamentally collectivistic
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: and as such we need to be very wary of them.
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: Not you have a jolgorithm, Oh, Michael thank you for
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: the hundred dollars and hop up Campbell and not you
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: have a jolgorithm. Thank you for the fifty dollars questions.
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: Those are great. There's another, not you have a jogorithm question.
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: Rand was the philosophy? What Newton wants to physics? People
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: who recognize will recognize us one day, and thankfully you
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: don't need to be a brilliant physicist to get it.
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: If everyone could see Newton was right, why can't they
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: see rand is right? Well? Because to see randers right,
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: you have to be willing to acknowledge that everything else
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: is wrong. You have to be willing to give up
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: your religion. You have to be willing to give up
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: your altruism. You have to be willing to give up
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: your nationalism. You have to be willing to give up
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: your ideology. And particularly when it comes to ethics, to
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: morality and to pistemology, metaphysics, to religion, it's very, very
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: very difficult for people to give up their belief system.
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: It's almost impossible, and it's rare to see people giving
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: up altruism and being willing to even consider something an alternative,
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: so they can't see she's right, because they're held back
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: by their existing ideologies. People didn't have strong beliefs about
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: the scientific nature of reality before Newton, so once they
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: saw it, they saw it and they didn't have to
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: dump a bunch of stuff in order to really see it.
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: They didn't have to. I mean, they had to put
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: religion to its place. But Newton was religious, so they
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: could have their cake and need it too. With the rand,
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: you can't you can't have you ca can need it too, Michael.
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: If you look at the architecture in Europe versus Asia
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: or Dubai, all Europe does is preserved their past. European
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: infrastructure is old and stagnant, whereas Asian buildings are modern
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: and futuristic, dynamic. Yes, absolutely, but part of that is
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: because they didn't have much worth preserving. A lot of
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: what they had was flimsy and and a lot of
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: it a being destroyed by war and or poverty. You know,
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: in China, there wasn't anything in Beijing and Shanghai to preserve.
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: There's a little bit and you can see it in Shanghai.
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: Got to forget the name of the buns. It's called
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: the buns Bund. The Bund which is the German section
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: of Shanghai, which is European looking, nineteenth centsy European looking,
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: and it was built by the Germans when Shanghai was
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: divided between the powers. But beyond that, Chinese cities were poor,
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: dinky little buildings of nothing of substance except very ancient
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: architecture and that they've kept of palaces and stuff like that.
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: And then they built fresh. But also Asia with all
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: its problems, and it's got big problems, China with all
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: its problems, and it's got big problems. These ambitious cultures,
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: they are ambitious. They want to be successful, they want
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: to be rich, they want to be the best. In
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: that sense, they remind me of America of the nineteenth century.
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: They are forward thinking, they are pro progress, they're pro growth,
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: even as they're anti individual, anti things that will lead
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: to that. But anyway, they're unbelievably ambitious and that is
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: reflected in the architecture. And Europe's not ambitious anymore. And
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: Europe is the past. So you go to Europe to
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: study history to see the history, comes to America maybe
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: to see the present, and you go to Asia to
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: see the future. Now whether that future will realize itself.
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: It's hard to tell because they don't understand the ideas
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: that make progress possible. But they want to, they would
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: like to. Michael, I was looking into the Florida bill
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: that aims to eliminate property taxes, and it's only on
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: your primary residence. If you're own a second home, you
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: still have to pay the tax. And commercial property isn't
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: exempt either. Oh that's too bad. Still not a bad deal,
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: but it's too bad that it's not more comprehensive. And
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: of course if they could exclude a commercial property, that
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: would be huge because that would to provide a huge
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: incentive for businesses to move there. But yes, that that
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: is too bad. Michael says, do you think Christianity is
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: more of an intellectual and spiritual threat that he's Slam.
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: Christianity has deep roots in undermining our institutions, whereas Islam
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: has always been about Barrick outsider. I mean, yeah, you
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: could view it that way. I mean, Islam is a threat.
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: It's just not the threat that is going to succeed
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: long term. It's an exit. It's a threat day to day.
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: It's it's gonna kill people. And the more people Islam kills,
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: the more it will legitimize the Christians, a Christian revival,
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: the more it will legitimize those who want to wipe
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: out the Muslims. But I've never in my life said
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: Muslim Islam is not a threat. Of course, it's a threat.
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: It's the threat of the barbarians. But Rome didn't fall
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: because of the barbarians. Rome fell because of the internal rot.
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: The West is not gonna fall because of Islam. If
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: the West falls, it's because of internal rot. And that
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: internal rot is a combination of the Left and Christianity.
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: And in my view, the Christians won't let it fall.
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: They will rise up against the Barbarians and Russia. The
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: difference in power between the West and the Muslims is
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: so large, much larger than between Rome and Barbarians, that
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: they will stomp out the the Barbarians in this case,
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: and then they will dominate, and that will be that
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: will be huge. They will undermine the institutions of enlightenment,
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: they will undermine the institution of liberty. That is what
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: they've always done. That's the nature of Christianity. By the way,
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: the Barbarians who sacked Rome were Christians, so it was
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: an internal Christian conflict and yeah, you know, Rome, particularly
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: at that point, was completely rotted. At that point, I
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: mean completely, it had had four hundred years of empire.
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: An empire by its very nature is a you know, rotting.
- 1:16:10Speaker 1: It would watch you from within. And of course they
- 1:16:14Speaker 1: also had one hundred and fifty years of Christianity since Augustin,
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: since Constantine had made Christianity part of the Roman religion,
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: and then it became Justinian, I think, made it the
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: official religion of Rome. It was now a Rome was Christian,
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: and there were other Christians who were stronger, more powerful.
- 1:16:41Speaker 1: They threw them up, all right, Andrew, how do conservatives
- 1:16:49Speaker 1: preserve any self suspect being lemmings for Trump? Do you
- 1:16:54Speaker 1: think to the extent their self respect remains, it's because
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: they think the total support Trump is a life defending
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: stand against the left. Well, I mean, I don't know
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: who you're talking about. Who are these conservatives? They ever
- 1:17:11Speaker 1: had any self respect? Do they have self respect? I
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: don't think they have any self respect. They just don't.
- 1:17:19Speaker 1: They mindless, you know, and you know, spineless, mindless and spineless.
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: So I don't know who they are. Senators, congressmen, who
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: these are politicians who have always been mindless and spineless.
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: Are we talking about intellectuals? Well, I mean other than
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: intellectuals who have been never Trump has maintained some of
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: their self respect. The others did they ever have self respect?
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean they can rationalize it as we're
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: standing up against the left and this is what can
- 1:17:55Speaker 1: we do. This is the best that we have. But
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: that's not going to give you self respect. So no,
- 1:18:00Speaker 1: they have no self respect. That's the answer. They cannot
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: preserve their self respect, but they can live with that.
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: Can live with that well, but they can live with it.
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: All right. We have a bunch of five ten two
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: five ten dollar questions Raymond. First part, I've been quite
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: depressed and anxious with the thought of dying. Given happiness
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: is tied to achieving pro life things. Isn't mortality proof
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: that we ultimately fail? It just feels like anything other
- 1:18:39Speaker 1: than working on this problem is partying on the Titanic.
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: That's a weird way of thinking about life. Life has
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: a beginning and an end, and it's what you make
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: of it in between. As a beginning and end. Now,
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: it would be nice if that beginning to end was
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: extended to an addically. That would be great and the
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: more it extended, the better it would be. But that
- 1:19:08Speaker 1: is a metaphysical nature of life, and it's always been
- 1:19:12Speaker 1: that way. And then the question is, and it's partially
- 1:19:17Speaker 1: the possibility of death is partially what gives values values.
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: If you never face death, then why would anything be good?
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: It would be good because it allowed you to survive.
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: Survived means there's an alternative. So no, I mean, your
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: mortality is just a metaphysically given to to be upset
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: about mortality is to be upset about the universe. It's
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: to bang your head against the wall. It achieves nothing
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: and it takes you nowhere. The question is, you've got
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: X number of years here, and yeah, extending that is fantastic,
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: But what are you going to do with them? How
- 1:20:02Speaker 1: are you going to use them? How are you going
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: to live the best life that you can live? How
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: you going to make every second count? How going to
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: make it a worthwhile life, a life well lived? That's
- 1:20:20Speaker 1: the whole point. That's the game, and that's what there
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: is to be achieved. If you can also, at the
- 1:20:29Speaker 1: same time extend your life somehow great, But the idea
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: of immortality is it's just it's a fantasy and the
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: idea of uh, you know, extending life is great, go
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: do it. But the key is to accept the fact
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: that death is going to be out there and to
- 1:20:54Speaker 1: live the best life that you can live within the
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: boundaries that you have. Liam feel better, stay healthy, your
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: souliers need you. Thank you. I appreciate it A couple
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: of spices. Hope you get well. Thank you. I like
- 1:21:14Speaker 1: number says I assume you'd never take a vermectin. I
- 1:21:18Speaker 1: don't take. I mean I take avimctin for what I've
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: emctin is for. It's very good at getting rid of parasites.
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: If I had a parasite, I would take avimcton. I
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: said that earlier. Is there only progression and regression. There's
- 1:21:33Speaker 1: no stagnation in the universe. I think that's right. I
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think you stand in place. I
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: think there's either move forward move backwards. I don't think
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: stagnation is something that is sustainable. I don't know if
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: that's a lot of entropy or what it is, but
- 1:21:49Speaker 1: I think that's right. You're either moving towards life or
- 1:21:55Speaker 1: towards death. You're moving forward, you're moving backward, standing still
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: is just not an option. It's what happens when he died.
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: Andrews says, your critics are sometimes honest, but your objective's
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: critics often aren't. Yeah. I don't know where that comes from, Andrew,
- 1:22:16Speaker 1: but yeah, I think my objective's critics are rarely honest.
- 1:22:20Speaker 1: Put it that way, I mean, sadly, I'd love to
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: have good critics. And if the hostage is a feed,
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: because Trump getting all the Gulf countries united for his
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: Commas ultimatum, can you really still say he has no strategy. Yeah?
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: I don't think he has a strategy. I think he
- 1:22:37Speaker 1: muddles around. And in this case, I think that Jared
- 1:22:41Speaker 1: Kushner and what's his name, god, the former Prime Minister
- 1:22:45Speaker 1: of England, came up with these ideas that are now
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: being presented and Trump ran with it. But look, getting
- 1:22:56Speaker 1: you can feed the hostages. You can feed the hostages
- 1:22:58Speaker 1: at any time if you've given up about what they wanted.
- 1:23:02Speaker 1: And the question is not free hostages. The question is
- 1:23:06Speaker 1: achieving the aims of the post October seventh War. And
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: I'm not Tony Blair, thank you, and I'm not sure
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: that I'll be achieved with this piece deal. But no,
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: Trump has no strategy and he hasn't had a strategy
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: it it and you shouldn't have to need the Golf
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: State support for anything. Well, all you have to do
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: is tell Isiell to go in the and win the
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: freaking thing. But yeah, you know to the extent that
- 1:23:43Speaker 1: he believes that if he appeases the Golf States and
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: sucks up to them and and does that, then he
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: can call in favors. If you called that a strategy,
- 1:23:51Speaker 1: then yeah, as a strategy, that's a strategy. I don't
- 1:23:54Speaker 1: consider that a strategy. I consider that's It's like saying
- 1:23:58Speaker 1: a mafia boss as a strategy. There's no strategy there.
- 1:24:03Speaker 1: He believes in trading favors and I'll do one for you,
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: and you do one for me, and he behaves like
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: I'm off your boss, and in this case he's calling
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: in some favors at who's expense, at our expense. Long
- 1:24:19Speaker 1: term cuss this dim leftists of full on nihilist mode,
- 1:24:26Speaker 1: and conservatives are quickly becoming national socialists. Anti Semitism is
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: rampant on both sides. Yeah, I mean I think it
- 1:24:33Speaker 1: is dim. I've been saying it's them for a while
- 1:24:35Speaker 1: now I think Leonard's dim hypothsis is coming true where
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: it's gonna. I don't think we're on the verge of
- 1:24:43Speaker 1: but we might be. We might be. But generally the
- 1:24:47Speaker 1: movement that Leonard predicted in Dim is happening in our world.
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: There's no question about that in my view. Alex currently
- 1:24:58Speaker 1: enrolled in the Work and Objectives of Course class through AARI,
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: but forgot your discount code more money for your right.
- 1:25:06Speaker 1: But want you to get the credit. Yeah, if they
- 1:25:12Speaker 1: ask you in a survey how you found out about it,
- 1:25:14Speaker 1: then tell them you heard it on the show and
- 1:25:18Speaker 1: I'll get the credit that way. Thank you, Alex, and
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: I'm glad. I'm glad you enrolled. I hope you enjoy it. Andrew.
- 1:25:25Speaker 1: The high holidays bring man very low, actually crawling on
- 1:25:29Speaker 1: the floor for some Jews, yes, groveling for the litany
- 1:25:33Speaker 1: of sins. Do you think that cow religion the ultimate
- 1:25:36Speaker 1: sin is being alive? I don't know. I don't I
- 1:25:42Speaker 1: don't think so. I don't think that's that's I mean
- 1:25:45Speaker 1: for Christianity. Christianity has by the very fact that you're alive,
- 1:25:50Speaker 1: you you have sinned. I don't think the fact that
- 1:25:54Speaker 1: your life is what makes you sin it's it's the
- 1:25:57Speaker 1: fact that you're human is what makes you sin ful.
- 1:26:00Speaker 1: But not for Jews. Judaism doesn't have original sin. It
- 1:26:04Speaker 1: doesn't have that idea. It does have an idea that
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: man is sinful, but a lot of the a lot
- 1:26:12Speaker 1: of that is modern. It comes in kind of the
- 1:26:16Speaker 1: post Christianity era. A lot of the prayer book in
- 1:26:22Speaker 1: Judaism was written post Christianity, and you can tell it's
- 1:26:26Speaker 1: very influenced by Christianity. But Judaism doesn't have I don't
- 1:26:33Speaker 1: know a baby. A baby is a sinful being. Judaism
- 1:26:39Speaker 1: doesn't have that because it is. It may because a
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: man's fault. It recognizes I guess what he considers humans
- 1:26:51Speaker 1: failed failty, and the fact that human beings uh sin
- 1:26:58Speaker 1: in irregular they lie, they do things like that, and
- 1:27:05Speaker 1: you know you're on young people. You recognize that fact
- 1:27:11Speaker 1: and you ask for forgiveness, and God weighs your sins
- 1:27:15Speaker 1: versus your I guess virtues and decides what your fate
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: is going to be for the next year, something like that.
- 1:27:23Speaker 1: I can't remember. I used to go to synagogue and
- 1:27:25Speaker 1: do all the I send I send to you know
- 1:27:27Speaker 1: all this bs, But haven't done that in many, many,
- 1:27:31Speaker 1: many decades. James Trump functions by whom he likes. I
- 1:27:39Speaker 1: don't know of a single major figure in the Democratic
- 1:27:41Speaker 1: Party with a sub human epistemology to match Trump. I'd
- 1:27:46Speaker 1: rather take on the left than Trump. Yeah, I mean
- 1:27:50Speaker 1: he has a he's he's like him off your boss.
- 1:27:55Speaker 1: That's his function. The left is most is almost always,
- 1:28:01Speaker 1: but they don't have this particular mentality. I agree with you.
- 1:28:06Speaker 1: I mean they're bad in their own way, really bad
- 1:28:09Speaker 1: in their own way. A bonnie, Uh, what is the
- 1:28:14Speaker 1: logic book behind your left shoulder? My left shoulder, this
- 1:28:20Speaker 1: is my left gene. I don't know that. I've got
- 1:28:25Speaker 1: two logic books, and these are the one gene I
- 1:28:29Speaker 1: don't think. One's an Introduction to Logic by HWB. Joseph,
- 1:28:36Speaker 1: and this one is Logic and Introduction by Lino Ruby.
- 1:28:41Speaker 1: And they're both books. They both logic books recommended by
- 1:28:53Speaker 1: Lenna Peacock at some point. Andrew, if you've examined the
- 1:29:02Speaker 1: validity of a thought behind a negative feeling thoroughly and
- 1:29:06Speaker 1: concluded it as irrational, and you have the thought again,
- 1:29:10Speaker 1: try ignoring the feeling and see if it just goes away. Yeah,
- 1:29:17Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's right. I think acknowledging that
- 1:29:21Speaker 1: it's still there is worthwhile. Remembering that you did the
- 1:29:26Speaker 1: work and see if that helps over time. If not,
- 1:29:32Speaker 1: you might have to do some more work. Clark, I
- 1:29:37Speaker 1: don't think trump switches and leaps are deliberate or calculated.
- 1:29:41Speaker 1: I think arbitrariness comes naturally to him. Yeah, absolutely not.
- 1:29:47Speaker 1: You have a jogorhithm. Trump has clearly succeeded in setting
- 1:29:50Speaker 1: the precedent for dictatorship. Pleasing him has become the primary
- 1:29:54Speaker 1: focus of leaders in business, education, and media and every
- 1:29:57Speaker 1: walk of life. Yeah. And the challenge be will that
- 1:30:01Speaker 1: become most of the focus of the generals? Well? Pleasing
- 1:30:03Speaker 1: him be their focus? It could become very, very scary
- 1:30:10Speaker 1: if that happens. James, the future of the UK looks
- 1:30:17Speaker 1: bleak now. Scotland seems like it's no better off leaving
- 1:30:22Speaker 1: it is no better off leaving England. What do you
- 1:30:24Speaker 1: think is next for the UK of Scotland? You know,
- 1:30:28Speaker 1: I don't know. I think if there's an election tomorrow,
- 1:30:32Speaker 1: I think the Labor Party would lose, which is good,
- 1:30:36Speaker 1: but it's probably reform that would win. They would form
- 1:30:43Speaker 1: a coalition with Conservatives. They would probably deport a lot
- 1:30:47Speaker 1: of immigrants. They would get a few things right, they
- 1:30:51Speaker 1: would get a lot of things wrong. I think England
- 1:30:55Speaker 1: is a bitness in for a long period of stagnation.
- 1:30:58Speaker 1: I think Scotland not leave Britain, will not leave Great Britain.
- 1:31:03Speaker 1: It's got too much to lose by doing so. I think,
- 1:31:08Speaker 1: like the rest of Europe, England will, you know, somehow
- 1:31:14Speaker 1: stagnate forward with fits and bouts and positives and negatives.
- 1:31:22Speaker 1: The sooner an election happens, the better, So at least
- 1:31:24Speaker 1: get rid of this government and see what's next. Michael,
- 1:31:31Speaker 1: it was Hitler's success in the beginning a result of
- 1:31:33Speaker 1: the cowardice, an evasion of the West. You lack of
- 1:31:36Speaker 1: them all clarity to stand up for the good. Yeah,
- 1:31:39Speaker 1: and also within Germany, the unwillingness of the better people
- 1:31:46Speaker 1: in Germany to stand up against him, to challenge him,
- 1:31:50Speaker 1: to recognize him as a real threat. They all thought
- 1:31:53Speaker 1: he was a clown and wouldn't have any impact, that
- 1:31:56Speaker 1: wouldn't do anything, It wouldn't be successful. They didn't take
- 1:31:59Speaker 1: him serious. That was in Germany and outside of it, Michael,
- 1:32:06Speaker 1: Silicon Valley captured both parties to leave them alone. That's
- 1:32:12Speaker 1: why AI in tech is expanding and the stock market
- 1:32:14Speaker 1: is doing so well. No, I mean, I don't know
- 1:32:18Speaker 1: that that's true. I mean there's anti trust cases going
- 1:32:21Speaker 1: on against Silicon Valley as we speak, a number of
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: companies in Silicon Valley. I don't think Silicon Valley has
- 1:32:28Speaker 1: captured both parties still leave them alone, although there's some
- 1:32:33Speaker 1: of that. You know, there's clearly California regulates them less
- 1:32:37Speaker 1: than they otherwise would because they've captured the Democratic Party
- 1:32:40Speaker 1: in California and the Trump administrations leaving them alone. But
- 1:32:45Speaker 1: the stock market is going up for a variety of
- 1:32:50Speaker 1: reasons that have to do a lot of it has
- 1:32:53Speaker 1: to do with the fact that earnings are really good
- 1:32:57Speaker 1: and the market is is very optimistic about AI. I
- 1:33:04Speaker 1: don't think they thought it through. They're optimistic about all
- 1:33:08Speaker 1: the investment going into AI, they're optimistic about all the
- 1:33:12Speaker 1: build out. This is a typical bubble what you're seeing
- 1:33:16Speaker 1: right now, an AI bubble, an AI infrastructure investment bubble,
- 1:33:22Speaker 1: which is sucking capital out of every other investment into
- 1:33:27Speaker 1: these massive data centers. I think there'll be a consequence
- 1:33:31Speaker 1: of that, you know, there will be a move down
- 1:33:34Speaker 1: at some point here how big. I don't know when
- 1:33:36Speaker 1: it will happen. I don't know, but it will happen.
- 1:33:40Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, there are lots of reasons why
- 1:33:45Speaker 1: the stock market, but the stock market doesn't represent the
- 1:33:47Speaker 1: economy and the stock market doesn't. Isn't just because they've
- 1:33:51Speaker 1: captured the political party and being left alone. It's because
- 1:33:56Speaker 1: these companies are dominant globally, not just in America. You know,
- 1:34:00Speaker 1: all these companies have been unbelievably successful in a global scale,
- 1:34:04Speaker 1: and the market recognizes that, and they're all investing heavily
- 1:34:08Speaker 1: in this exciting futuristic technology, which I don't think the
- 1:34:12Speaker 1: market has really thought through about how that gets monetized.
- 1:34:16Speaker 1: But it's too exciting right now to think thinks too.
- 1:34:19Speaker 1: So everything's going up. It won't last. Andrews as many
- 1:34:28Speaker 1: in the manosphere, you have an affinity for Islam. Yeah,
- 1:34:30Speaker 1: I mean, Andrew Tate converted to Islam. Islam treats women really,
- 1:34:35Speaker 1: really badly. They like that in Islam you have more
- 1:34:39Speaker 1: than one wife. They like that. Most of them can't
- 1:34:43Speaker 1: even get one wife, never mind four. But they'd like
- 1:34:47Speaker 1: to fantasize and look Tucker Causon thinks sharia law is
- 1:34:51Speaker 1: not bad. You know, it keeps people at bay, it
- 1:34:55Speaker 1: keeps them peaceful. I don't know. I mean, yes, they
- 1:34:58Speaker 1: like the authoritarianism that's embedded in sharia. Luone, not Cherry jogarhithm.
- 1:35:06Speaker 1: Why is a life still so good despite the fact
- 1:35:09Speaker 1: that literally everyone is a collectivist? Well, because you're not.
- 1:35:15Speaker 1: Because your life doesn't depend on everybody else. It depends
- 1:35:18Speaker 1: on you, and not everybody's a collectivist. There's still enough
- 1:35:23Speaker 1: people who are good, people who are not collectivists. Whyatt
- 1:35:27Speaker 1: asking the same question he's asked fifty five other times.
- 1:35:30Speaker 1: Didn't you say as recently as June that Islam wasn't
- 1:35:32Speaker 1: the real threat to Europe and couldn't win long term? Yeah?
- 1:35:37Speaker 1: I did say that, and I still say that. What's
- 1:35:39Speaker 1: the point? Does that mean Islam won't kill a lot
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: of Europeans between now and the next twenty years. No,
- 1:35:46Speaker 1: I think it will. And I said that in June.
- 1:35:49Speaker 1: Muslims will kill a lot of Europeans between now and
- 1:35:51Speaker 1: native June, Muslims will will disrupt a lot of lives.
- 1:35:56Speaker 1: They will commit a lot of terrorist attacks, They will
- 1:35:59Speaker 1: kill a lot of people between now and whatever, but
- 1:36:03Speaker 1: they won't win in the long run, and the real
- 1:36:07Speaker 1: and they don't pose the real existential, ultimate existential threat
- 1:36:11Speaker 1: to Europe. That that threat is posed by the reactionary
- 1:36:18Speaker 1: forces that are going to mount against the slow and
- 1:36:21Speaker 1: those are going to be the Christian Crusaders or whatever
- 1:36:25Speaker 1: they call themselves. That's what I think. You know, we'll
- 1:36:28Speaker 1: see if that turns out to be true or not.
- 1:36:30Speaker 1: But again, the fact that I said that they're not
- 1:36:34Speaker 1: the real threat to Europe and couldn't win long term
- 1:36:38Speaker 1: does not mean that they're not a threat to Europe
- 1:36:41Speaker 1: and does not mean that they won't kill people in
- 1:36:43Speaker 1: the meantime. Now, it'll be interesting to see if next
- 1:36:46Speaker 1: month you can ask me the same question again, and
- 1:36:48Speaker 1: then six months later again, and then a year later again.
- 1:36:53Speaker 1: I'm spelling it out, I think as clearly as I can.
- 1:36:55Speaker 1: So either I'm feeling you are purposefully not listening, which
- 1:37:02Speaker 1: I think is nanswer, Linda. I look forward to the
- 1:37:05Speaker 1: day that Trump is not part of the daily vocabulary.
- 1:37:08Speaker 1: That will be amazing. Frank gie Hatty's father praise ooktober
- 1:37:14Speaker 1: seventh attack. Also, no aid is being found on Greta's
- 1:37:18Speaker 1: Florida and also, and does monitor them mesh with ideas
- 1:37:22Speaker 1: of monument builders. Yes, that's right. I read someone giadis
- 1:37:30Speaker 1: the guy who killed these Jews, did praise October seventh,
- 1:37:33Speaker 1: So he's one of the bad guys. He's an Islamist.
- 1:37:36Speaker 1: And if you praise October seventh, don't be surprised if
- 1:37:38Speaker 1: your kids try to emulate it, which is what his
- 1:37:42Speaker 1: son did. I don't understand the question about modyled him.
- 1:37:50Speaker 1: I don't understand the question about monitored him and monument Billersori. Andrew,
- 1:37:56Speaker 1: it's a bominable that there's going to be a man
- 1:37:59Speaker 1: of New York City who would, if left his own,
- 1:38:02Speaker 1: allow the rest of the NAL based on ICC want.
- 1:38:06Speaker 1: That's one among many, many, many, many reasons it's going
- 1:38:09Speaker 1: to be an abomination to have Mumdannie as mayor. Yeah,
- 1:38:12Speaker 1: I agree, Andrew. Do you think the majority of military
- 1:38:16Speaker 1: personnel strong im Thanto going to Virginia to listen to
- 1:38:19Speaker 1: the you know whatever, the monologue by excess and Trump
- 1:38:24Speaker 1: resented or when we're in line with it. I think
- 1:38:27Speaker 1: most of them resented. I think who knows, but that's
- 1:38:32Speaker 1: my thought. Michael, how do you keep your head above
- 1:38:36Speaker 1: water in a world that is headed down a dark path.
- 1:38:40Speaker 1: You focus on the things that you can control. You
- 1:38:42Speaker 1: focus on your own life, You focus on your own values.
- 1:38:46Speaker 1: You focus on the things that you love doing. Michael,
- 1:38:51Speaker 1: money loves speed, wealth loves time, poverty loves indecision. I
- 1:39:05Speaker 1: have no comment. I don't think that's right. Margaret, glad
- 1:39:11Speaker 1: you're back here on Thank you, Margaret Cook. I was
- 1:39:15Speaker 1: the sixteen to ninth like on today's show. Nice, Okay, cool? Michael.
- 1:39:23Speaker 1: Is it still likely America embraces objectivism before any other country?
- 1:39:30Speaker 1: I don't know any other country. I mean, there's just
- 1:39:33Speaker 1: no I don't see any likely it of another country
- 1:39:35Speaker 1: doing it. So happy to find another country that is
- 1:39:39Speaker 1: more likely. I just don't know where. I wish there
- 1:39:44Speaker 1: were some candidates. All right, shames as a capitalist, who
- 1:39:54Speaker 1: do you think as a capitalist? What do you think
- 1:39:57Speaker 1: about comedians going to Saudi Arabia out of them criticize
- 1:40:01Speaker 1: us but everything and say nothing about Saudies. I think
- 1:40:04Speaker 1: it's horrible that they're going to Saudi Arabia. I think
- 1:40:06Speaker 1: it's a disgrace. They're obviously going to change there what
- 1:40:12Speaker 1: they're presenting. You know, Saudi Arabia is a country where
- 1:40:16Speaker 1: you go to you can get you can get into
- 1:40:19Speaker 1: prison for life for what you say. There's no freedom
- 1:40:22Speaker 1: of speech, there's no freedom of religion. There's atheists. Atheists
- 1:40:27Speaker 1: go to prison. Yeah, it is absolutely horrible that that
- 1:40:38Speaker 1: they are going to Saudi Arabia g grouped up. Are
- 1:40:48Speaker 1: you on one COVID zero? What treatment helped glad you
- 1:40:51Speaker 1: feel better? I mean the thing that helps COVID is rest.
- 1:40:55Speaker 1: That's it. I mean, unless you get a really bad
- 1:41:00Speaker 1: you have to go to the hospital and then they
- 1:41:01Speaker 1: can give you other stuff. And in some cases you
- 1:41:04Speaker 1: take paxilloid it's called but you know, let your doctor
- 1:41:10Speaker 1: determine that. What helped suit a fad for the congestion,
- 1:41:18Speaker 1: advil and thailand all for the fever and for the
- 1:41:22Speaker 1: sore throat, and then lots of tea and uh and
- 1:41:27Speaker 1: lots of rest, lots of rest. You know, Paxolloid is
- 1:41:37Speaker 1: we're taking if you're in a if you're in a
- 1:41:40Speaker 1: what do you call it a risk group. I'm not
- 1:41:41Speaker 1: in a risk group, so I didn't take paxloid. But yeah,
- 1:41:48Speaker 1: and and you know, and take your vitamins. You know,
- 1:41:51Speaker 1: I'm i'm I'm I think Vitamin D is is good
- 1:41:55Speaker 1: for you to take. But you should be taking that anyway,
- 1:41:59Speaker 1: not not just when you get sick. You should just
- 1:42:00Speaker 1: take away. You should most of us, most of us
- 1:42:03Speaker 1: are are what do you call it, lower vitamin D
- 1:42:08Speaker 1: than we should. Yeah, I don't know, I don't know,
- 1:42:14Speaker 1: uh what else there's no I mean, it's it's like
- 1:42:20Speaker 1: the flu in the cold. I mean, what do you
- 1:42:21Speaker 1: do when you have flu? In the cold? You rest?
- 1:42:25Speaker 1: I mean zinc maybe you know, I don't know. Zinc
- 1:42:28Speaker 1: is good for colds and flus mostly cuts the time
- 1:42:31Speaker 1: if you take it early. But the sciences, you know,
- 1:42:34Speaker 1: the science is uh is questionable, and it's hard to
- 1:42:38Speaker 1: measure how much time, and it's you know, uh, and
- 1:42:41Speaker 1: each one of us a little different. So but yeah,
- 1:42:45Speaker 1: I think I think most of us have vitamin D deficiencies.
- 1:42:47Speaker 1: ISOL needed before I started taking vitamin D. So Islam
- 1:42:53Speaker 1: Ali what makes Evangelical Christians love Israel while Catholics are
- 1:42:57Speaker 1: growing more and more distant from Israel also feel better.
- 1:43:01Speaker 1: I think the evangelicals have this notion that the end
- 1:43:05Speaker 1: of the world is coming. Israel is necessary, as they
- 1:43:09Speaker 1: read the prophecies, Israel has to exist for the end
- 1:43:13Speaker 1: of the world to come. When the end of the
- 1:43:15Speaker 1: world comes, the Jews either converted Christianity or go to Hell.
- 1:43:22Speaker 1: They believe the existence of Israel is part of prophecy
- 1:43:25Speaker 1: and it's part of the necessary conditions for Jesus to
- 1:43:29Speaker 1: come back. That's why they love Israel. It's bizarre, but
- 1:43:34Speaker 1: they're crazy. Equal to reality. Some get well money, thank you,
- 1:43:40Speaker 1: equal to reality. Appreciate it. Thanks us, pleasepan. What's kevlock?
- 1:43:48Speaker 1: Can it stop bullets? Yes? It can. It depends on
- 1:43:51Speaker 1: the bullets. I mean the close to the range, the
- 1:43:56Speaker 1: big of the bullets, the higher the velocity, the less
- 1:43:58Speaker 1: it can stop it. But overall, oh yes, it can
- 1:44:01Speaker 1: certainly stop a bullet. It's it's a it's a material
- 1:44:04Speaker 1: that basically, you know, captures the bullet. It doesn't it
- 1:44:09Speaker 1: doesn't allow the bullet to penetrate through. So you get
- 1:44:14Speaker 1: the impact and you could be knocked out from the impact,
- 1:44:17Speaker 1: but the bullet won't penetrate your skin. It's also a
- 1:44:22Speaker 1: good against knife attacks as to stop a knife. Fank
- 1:44:27Speaker 1: thoughts on Jane Goodall Dead and Nighty one. She had
- 1:44:29Speaker 1: an amazing life. I mean she did. She was this
- 1:44:33Speaker 1: researcher in gorillas and stuff, and she had an amazing life.
- 1:44:37Speaker 1: On the one hand, then other hand, very anti human,
- 1:44:41Speaker 1: very crazy environmentalist, very very wanting. She wanted ah, she
- 1:44:49Speaker 1: wanted a population to shrink. She wanted human population to shrink,
- 1:44:56Speaker 1: really philosophically, really really really really bad, really bad. Yes,
- 1:45:01Speaker 1: he has said. Cavlo is a fabric. It's a weave.
- 1:45:04Speaker 1: It's a kind of a weave, but it's a it's
- 1:45:07Speaker 1: an incredibly strong fabric. And the way it's woven is
- 1:45:12Speaker 1: what prevents the bullet from penetrating. It kind of captures
- 1:45:15Speaker 1: the bullet. It's the best I have. All right, guys,
- 1:45:20Speaker 1: I better go losing my voice. I will see you
- 1:45:23Speaker 1: all hopefully tomorrow if I were gaining the voice by tomorrow.
- 1:45:28Speaker 1: Appreciate the support thanks to all the super chatters. And
- 1:45:32Speaker 1: I'm not sure what the topic will be tomorrow, but
- 1:45:34Speaker 1: we'll figure it out. Have a great weekend. It's going
- 1:45:38Speaker 1: to be back see tomorrow. Bye everybody.
