• 0:53
  Speaker 1: way I take us. I have a hot stop at

  Speaker 1: five o'clock, so it will probably go an hour and
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: a half or something like that. Of course, your questions
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: a crucial because you get to shape the show. You
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: get to determine what I talk about. So bring up
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: any issue, any questions, you have, disagreements, uh, you know whatever,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: put them into the super chat. It's a great way
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: also to support the show in addition to you know,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: in addition to asking a question and getting to shape
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the content of the show. All right, let me see,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I think, well good, all right, so let's talk a
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: little bit about ice in Minnesota. Uh take take a
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: little bit of a step back, and also see what
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump has to say about ice in Minnesota. What
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: we got, what we've gotten. Uh, In terms of the
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: killing so far is it seems pretty clear that the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: FEDS are gonna do nothing about the killing or the
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: murder of of good h It. It really does seem
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: like they are just moving on. And this according to
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the Department of Justice, there is no basis to prosecute.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: This is a government. We have a government that can
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: never admit to doing wrong. They can do no wrong.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: So they have figured out, just like with the January sixth,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: they figured out, all right, they do something, people object
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: to it and upset and everything, and they just they
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: just convince, they just move forward. They just say tough
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: and just move forward, and people don't. People never make
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: them pay. So I think the attitude in Washington, DC
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: right now is, yeah, who cares, We're just going to
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: keep going. And unless they think that it's going to
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: lead to some loss in the primaries or something like
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: that or in the election this year for cos, they're
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: just not going to act. There's just not nothing's going
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: to be done. So forget about the rule of law.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: There is no rule of law anymore. There is no
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: prosecuting people based on whether they commit a crime or not.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Everything is politics, and the reality is this administration has
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: estimated that they gain nothing from ad bringing. They're wrong.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: They gain nothing from putting an ICE agent on trial.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: They gained nothing from any of that, and therefore they'll
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: just ignore it. And you know, Miller came out today.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Miller came out today and basically said he basically gave
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: a green light to ICE agents to do whatever they
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: want to do, whatever they want to do. He basically
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: said they have full immunity, that they are, you know,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: doing their job. He didn't quite use these terms, but
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: they're doing God's work. And in doing God's work, you
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: do what you have to do in order to get
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: what needs to get done. And there's nothing anybody can
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: do about and the rest of us need to shut
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: up and stop obstructing and incoporate and just just just
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: you know, handover idse and and bow before the man
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: and let Ice, let Ice do their job. And and
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: you know, what does this mean to the thugs that
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: work for ICE, What does it mean to the to
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the actual ICE agents when obviously a senior person from
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: inside the White House is telling them, you got full immunity.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: We're not going to prosecute somebody who just shot a
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: woman in the face three times, point blank. We're not
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: going to prosecute him. You know what will we prosecute
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: as long as you're doing your job, as long as
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: what you're doing is in an attempt I don't know,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: round up illegal immigrants. You can get away with anything.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: You can get away with anything. And look, this is
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: this is just a dress rehearsal. I you know, I
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: really think this is just a dress rehearsal. I've come
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: to believe that this administration is a lot more evil
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: than I ever thought it was. This is a dress
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: rehearsal for putting agents out in the street for whatever
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: this administration wants. You know, Trump just the other day
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: said that he regrets not sending the military in to
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: confiscate the ballots after the twenty twenty election. Well, what
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: happens if the election doesn't go his way and he
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: can send ice agents in to confiscate the ballots and
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: they got full immunity. Because the Department of Justice is
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: no longer functioning as even a semblance of justice. The
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: bno and Justice is just there to justify whatever Trump
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: wants and to go after people that Trump dislikes. There's
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: no justice, there's no rule of law. There is Trump
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: and his whims. And if Trump might be occasionally hesitant
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: to use the full muscle that he has available to him, well,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: we certainly know that Miller is not. Miller has no qualms.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: He doesn't believe in a system government, and has zero
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: qualms about going after the people he viewses the enemy.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: And who does he view as an enemy or basically
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: anybody who disagrees, anybody who objects, anybody who says no.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: So we have an administration here that is committed to
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: using muscle, to using the force of the state to
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: bring us to heal, to bring us to heal. And
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: they're basically saying it now because there's nothing can be
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: done to them. Mills Love says, Department of Justification, that's good, yep,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: justify what Trump does. That's the job. And of course,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: to go after these enemies. Here's Donald Trump yesterday, and
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: it's just probably say this. Notice that they're putting out lists.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: You might have seen these lists, lists of all the
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: criminals they've arrested, all the child rapists and murders and
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: people they've arrested who are for whatever reason here illegally
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: and haven't been deported and they've arrested and I don't know,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: there are two dozen, three dozen people on this list,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and good, I mean, yeah, arrest those people. But that's
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: not what this is about. The numbers that the kind
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: of a benchmarks that ICE has to achieve has nothing
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: to do with murderers and rapists and so on. Yes,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: they're going to find some of those. And I don't
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: know if even to believe the list that the that
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: ICE has that Homeland Securities put out, but yeah, they're
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: going to be some bad guys. That's not the purpose.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: The purpose is to harass all of us. The purpose
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: is to show who the boss is, to show who
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: is in charge. Theses to bring the enemies of this
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: administration to heal. The purpose is to break you who
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: might object to the government taking over. And so yeah,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: they'll put use the list, they'll try to justify it,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: they'll try to rationalize it. And as Trump does in
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: the statement, here's the statement, do the people in Minnesota
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: really want to live in a community in which they
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: there are thousands, thousands of already convicted murderers, drug dealers
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: and addicts, rapists, violent violence, released and escaped prisoners, dangerous
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: people from foreign mental institutions and in sale insane asylums
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: and other deadly criminals to dangerous even to mention. Now thousands,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: not a few, not a couple of dozens, thousands, and
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: we're looking for them, and we have to harass every
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: single one of them in order to find them. To continue,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: all the patriots of Ice, one to do is to
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: remove them from your neighborhood and send them back to
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: the prisons and mental institutions from where they came, most
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: in foreign countries who illegally entered the US through Sleepy
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden's horrible open bordhis policy every place we go,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: crime comes down. In Chicago, despite a week and incompetent
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: governor and mayor fighting us all the way, big improvement
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: was made. Thousands of criminals were removed. Minnesota Democrats love
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the unrest that anarchists and professional agitators are causing because
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: it gets the spotlight. After nineteen billion dollars that has
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: been stolen by really bad and deranged people. And here
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: now all cap all cap fear not great people of Minnesota.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: The day of reckoning and retribution is coming. Now what
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: reckoning with what? And retribution towards whom retribution. The day
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: of reckoning and retribution is coming. Now that sounds pretty ominous.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: You think things are bad now in Minnesota, just wait,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: just wait. And by the way, just the other day,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Trump was saying that he that really, in reality, if
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: you take away all the fraud and all the bad stuff,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: all the other things, he won Minnesota big time all
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: three elections. He literally claimed this in one of his
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: interactions with the press. He won Minnesota big time by
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: big margins, not little margins, big margins. Minnesota is really
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: his country. This is why, you know, Congressman, the senators
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: and the governor and the mayors are all the Democrats.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: But he won, right officially, he lost all three elections.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: And he says this, and he says it was such
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: a straight face. It was such confidence that I'm sure
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of people believe in. And the reality is
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: that there a lot of Americans support this insanity. I mean,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: there's a story on Twitter right now. You know, you
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: have to think of some caveates, but it seems it
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: seems true that in a small town outside of Minneapolis,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: where it's true, you know, the population is more conservative
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: that ICE agents arrested supposed to be in the legal
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: immigrants at a grocery store and the people in the
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: store cheered them on. Now we have another eyewitnesses saying
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: that's the case. But you know, it's hard to tell.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: But I wouldn't be supprised. I wouldn't be surprised. The
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: people who support it, the people who want to see
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: every illegal immigrant, even though the ones that are working
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: and providing services, they want them arrested and kicked out.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: We'll get to some of the consequences that later on
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: in the show. But they want them out. But we
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: shouldn't wonder what reckoning and retribution, where that's heading and
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: what that means. We're seeing more and more videos come
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: out of Minnesota of ice harassing, ice harassing, you know,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: people who are videotaping them, people who are just yelling
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: at them. They're harassing them. Whether you're obstruct or not,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: don't obstruct, you're going to be harassed, right, Uh and yeah,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: and uh, you know it's it's it's it's gonna get worse.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: It's gonna get worse. Yeah, the people online claiming the
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: fart of Minnesota. It's not Somali faut, it's just it's
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: really the Jews are behind it, so so you got
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: that to deal with that as well. It's gonna get worse.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: And of course the situation is such that the Feds
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: are not backing down. Uh. The the federal government is
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: all guns blazing and they are sending another thousand agents
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: in uh and they're gonna sweep through Minneapolis. Now, if
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: you think about it, I mean, think about it this way,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: when do you think illegal immigrants? Like illegal immigrants, what
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: are the places in the United States that probably in
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: your mind? I mean, where do most illegal immigrants reside Minnesota?
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure there's some, maybe quite a few,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: but a big chunk. When I think illegal immigrants, I
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: think in California, I think Texas, I think most of
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: the South Carolinas. I mean, maybe New York, but really
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: the a lot of the a lot of the Southern states,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: the Hispanic populations going through the roof I'd like to see.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, why is an ice in Texas? Why is
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: an ice harassing people in Texas? Because you know, most
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: of those people they're harassed might not be leftists? Why
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: are they in blue states more than they are on
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: red states? Because the target is not illegal immigrants. The
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: target is the harassment of people on the left. Imagine
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: if they chot somebody who turned out to be a conservative.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: But no, they're going to go for political reasons. The
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Minnesota A lot, big chunk of the reason they're in
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Minnesota is because of the Somali immigrant faud that's happening there.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: But the emphasis on the Somali immigrant fad, the blowing
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: it up, as bad as it is, and it is awful,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: blowing it even into bigger proportions, is because it's Somali's
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: a they're immigrants. B the black That's not a good combination.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Not gonna get very fond life in America of today
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: with that combination. So the right has made a field
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: day out of Minnesota, not talking so much about the
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: warfare Forida in Mississippi or in pretty much every other
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: city and state in the Union, not talking about those
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Minnesota because it's some all these and because it's a
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: blue state. So harassing the left, making the left look bad,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: and you know, going after immigrants, Yeah, I mean that
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: that that is that makes anybody on the right day,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: you know, how they how can they complain? Uh? And
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: and and look, you know, people like il ilan Omar. Yeah,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: who the hell wants h so uh and and who
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: the hell onths the real fraud that happened. It really
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: is nasty. So they use a legit pretense to do
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: very illegitimate things. Somalis who who already received refugee status,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: the refugee status has just being revoked, and now they're
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: suddenly I legal immigrants, and now they're being rounded up
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: and they're sending to deportation camps in Texas. Right in
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: the meantime, both Minnesota and Illinois have sued demanding that
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Ice be forced to leave the state. Part of that,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: you know, so they've sit in federal court. So far
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: judges denied any kind of immediate temporary restraining order before
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: the first in the first hearing of the Minnesota lawsuit.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: We'll see how that lawsuit prevails. As I said a
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: minute ago, the Trumpet administration basically evoked the temporary protection
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: status of roughly twenty five hundred Somali immigrants. And so
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: they lose their legal status, they lose their work permits,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: they automatically become illegal immigrants, they automatically get rounded up.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: It's an easy way to take away people's legal status.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: And they get rounded up where they're going to go exactly.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I guess most people don't care because they don't belong
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: here anyway, right, according to so many of you. By
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: the way, I found it interesting the list of people
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: that you know that ICE rounded up in Minnesota that
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: are murderers and criminals and so on. You know, I
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: looked over the list, and you know, Trump claims they
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: all come over when Biden was president, but many of
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: them committed create crimes like a decade ago during Trump's
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: first term some of them and haven't been deported. They've
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: all got deportation thinks, So why didn't Trump deport them,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: you know, in the first round when he was president.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: But you see, that's a tactic, blame everything on Biden.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Biden is the enemy. Nobody likes Biden. Everybody hates him anyway.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, here, this one guy, you know,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: has a deportation order on him since twenty eighteen, if
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: I remember right, Trump was president back then. Another guy,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: a Lowisian illegal immigrant, was conviction a sexual assault and
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: you know whatever, with a deportation order since two thousand
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: and six. None of this is Biden. Another one deportation
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: order since two thousand and four. I mean, it's ridiculous
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: if you have a deputation order haven't been deported. Some
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: breakdown in the you know, twenty twelve, two thousand and three,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six. Most of these are from Laos a
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Mexican for twenty sixteen. Yep, Trump right, this one has
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: a deportation order. A deportation order since June twenty twenty five.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Who's been president since June twenty twenty five. A Mexican
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: illegal convict to the homicide, who has previously deported so
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: he's illegally here. Deportation order since twenty two thousand and nine.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: I'm just reading these. It's just fascinating how few of them.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Almost none of them are Biden. None of them are Biden.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Now it is weird that some of them, you know,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: have really HEENUS crimes and why they're allowed to be
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: free in spite of having been convicted I assume, and
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: having a deportation or to how they were allowed to
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: be free. I just don't get it. So something's broken
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: in the system. But by the way, all these people,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: all these people, as far as I can tell, the
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: governor knew where they lived and went and arrested them.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: None of these people, you know, required the stopping of
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: people walking in their neighborhood and demanding IDs. But people
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: are being demanded. You walk, you on your neighborhood, middle
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: of the afternoon, stop by ice, show me an ID.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: And you say to them, I don't need to show
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: an ID. And they go, well, if you don't show
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: an ID, I'm going to put you in the back
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: of the car and we're going to figure out what
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: you ID, where you're from. And yep, look, you have
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: no legal right to do that. I don't have to
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: show an ID. Well we don't. We're going to do
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: it anyway. And and by the way, were you born
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: in the United States? Well, that's irrelevant. I'm a US citizen.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: I don't need to show an ID. That's the law. Well,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: we're going to put you in the back of the
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: van anyway and check your ID. Well, if you do
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: that that you will be acting illegally. You have no
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: authority to do so. And you know, these dialogues are
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: happening all over America right now, particularly Minnesota, but all
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: of America now. And you know, the government's unger to
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: stop the government's unger to stop and and can we
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: really can we really frame this as all the people
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: resisting a leftist Well, if you're in Minnesota, maybe, but
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: if you're in Texas, probably not. Maybe that's why you
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: don't want to go to Texas. So yeah, I mean again,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: I feel like I've repeat myself, but I feel like
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: I need to repeat myself because we need to just
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: hammer the hail of this stuff home. These are I mean,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: I call them store troopers. There's a sense in which
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I think they are still troopers. They're the testing ground,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: the testing ground of authoritarian It's you know, people like JD.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Vance and Miller are looking and watching very very closely.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: And I'm sure some people on the left are looking
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: at this very very closely. What can we get away with?
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: What can a federal policing power get us? What will
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: the American people do as we push the boundaries? Okay,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: we shot somebody, you know, there's some argument that some
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: people can make for self defense. Okay, so you don't
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: need much of an argument, just a little bit of
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: an argument. What if we push it more? She was
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: a leftist? What what you know? What else? What else
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: can we do and get away with? And note that
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: you know, there's very little states can do. I mean,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: what what is what is Minnesota gonna do? Are they
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: going to send out then the National Guard? Are they
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: going to send out the cops? Is is there going
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: to be a shootout between the cops and Ice? Probably not?
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Probably not? Yep. Yeah. And so somebody says it's hard
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: for me to join the anti ICE protests when many
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: of them wake afirs. I know, I'm sympathized. I wouldn't
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: if they wore afirs, I wouldn't join them. It's part
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: of the problem. The only people standing up against ICE
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: a leftist, So it becomes leftists, you know, authoritarian statists
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: versus rightist authoritarian status. And where is the voice for
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: anybody saying who's anti statism? All right? By the way,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: to their credit, a number of prosecutors, federal prosecutors in
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Minnesota I have quit, just resigned over the shooting and
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: the way the investigation has been treated. Uh, you know,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: the first assistant US attorney, that's the I guess, the
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: top federal attorney in Minneapolis, and at least five other
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: lawyers resigned amid White House pressure to focus the probe
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: into an ICE officers shooting of a mother, on her
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: on her actions right and her actions and those of
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: people around her. So it looks like the FEDS are
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: going to go after the woman who dies wife, not
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: after the cop, not after the ICE agent and the cop.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: And as a consequence of that, these five US attorneys
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: in Minneapolis resigned. And I think right now, I mean,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: my view is in if you're an honest rule of
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: law FBI agent, employee of Homeland Security, US attorney working
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: for the Justice Department, you need to quit. You need
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: to quit. I mean that I think would be the
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: most effective thing that can happen right now is that
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: the people who disagree with this, I mean, and many
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: of them might even be Republicans. Hopefully many of them
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: are Republicans, they need to quit. They need to stop
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: sanctioning this government. They need to stop sanctioning the Department
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: of Justice leadership. They need to stop sanctioning the actions
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: of this government. Yep, keep it to Trump loyalists. Make
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: this all about just Trump loyalists, because the reality is
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: that they're getting their way anyway, and the better people
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: are being forced to do the work. This is why
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: these US attorneys in Minneapolis resigning is a good sign
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: even though they're going to be replaced by Trump loyalists
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: who are going to do the stuff. But I mean,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: imagine you're an attorney and you don't believe you should
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: go after the wife of the woman who's just being murdered,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: and you have to do it just so you're gonna
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: so you can stay in a position because you want
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: to avoid Trump loyalists. Well, you become a Trump loyalist
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: by actually doing what Trump demands. Trump in the meniontime
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: is ramped up in force and push for undot. You
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: made it some all the immigrants and yeah, how many
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: of them? How many of them are going to be criminals?
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a small number, But that's those
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: are the people you are going to see represented represented everywhere.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: That is going to be the excuse that they use
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: to justify this. All right, let's switch over to youan.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Let me just say, if you have a question, I
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: see people asking me questions in the chat. If you
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: have a question, the way to ask the question is
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: by using the super chat feature. You can do it
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: for two dollars, so it's not an issue of it
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: being too expensive. But if you have a question, just
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: put it into the super chat and ask it, and
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: I promise I will answer all the questions being asked.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: All right, A situation in Iran is not change. Really,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: it's not getting any better. I did see photos of
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: continued demonstrations yesterday in fewer cities, but it does seem
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: like it's Tehran. There were still large demonstrations yesterday. As
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: I think I told you yesterday, the estimates of how
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: many people killed murdered by the regime only seemed to
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: be increasing from two to twelve to now maybe twenty.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: More and more voices are condemning the Iranian regime, at
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: least in politics. You're still not seeing any of the
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: kind of leftist voices that went after Israel. You're not
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: seeing any of those voices condemning the regime. But you
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: are seeing more and more political voices condemning you. On
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: the Trump administration or President Trump himself continues to call
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: for the Iranians to continue to demonstrate and has said
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: that the Iranians would pay a big price. And there
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: a lot of rumors about when this will happen and
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: how it will happened, and certain of the Israeli media
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: seems convinced that Trump will do it will actually do it.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: It's not clear though, what do you actually do. There's
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: a lot of conflicting information about what he will actually do.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Nobody knows, and he says help is on the way,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: but it's not clear what that help is going to
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: look like. He's coming at a lot of pressure Trump
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: is from the Kataris and the Saudis not to do
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: anything Katao serves. I mean, a lot of its positioning
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: in the world is as a bridge between the Iranian
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: regime and the to the world the Saudis at the
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: end of the day, While the Saudis despise this Iranian
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: regime and worry about it, and it's ultimately their enemy.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure they wanted to fall. They want to weak,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: but they I'm not sure they wanted to fall. Because
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: what happens if they fall, Well, a lot of oil
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: enters the global market. If sanctions are lifted over Iran
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: and oil just flows out of there, you know, all
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: prices could really come down. I mean, I think a
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: big part of Trump's motivation to go after Iran is
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: to see all prices go down. They'll go up in
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: the short run because of uncertainty, but they will ultimately
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: come down if the Iranian regime falls, and they'll come
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: down a lot, and because that's a whole big chunk
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: of oil coming outo market. And Saudi Arabia right now
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: needs the money. They've got all these developed the building cities,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: the building stuff. They need the money. And you know,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia does not exactly run a tight fiscal ship.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: They I mean, most of the people in Saudi Arabia
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: are pretty poor and Saudi Arabia basically bribes them with
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: all money to stay peaceful. Well, they need that money
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: to keep flowing. So Saudis, I'm not sure that Saudis
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: want Iran. It would give would reduce their power over
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: all prices. But more than that, a conflict between the
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: United States and Iran could easily lead to Iran attacking
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia. Uranian drones could take out the big refining
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: refineries in Saudi Arabia. Wouldn't be that hard. They have
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: air defense systems, American air defense systems, but you can
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: imagine a swarm of ballistic missiles, a swarm of drones
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: overwhelming that and taking out much of Saudi Arabia's or
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: producing capacity. Saudi Arabia is really worried about that. And
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: you know, they're worried about the United States willingness and
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: ability and consistency and uh and and and you know,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: to defend them as I think any ally of the
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: United States would be worried, should be worried about it.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: It's it's I worry that Israel is not worried about it.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: That Israel takes the American support for it for granted.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: I don't think they should. I don't think that support
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: is necessarily forthcoming in the future. So what Trump does
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: is hard to tell. A lot of the influences around
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Trump are, how do we put it, influenced incentivized by
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: the Kataris to who behave themselves to lobby for Katu
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: and in this case, lobby against an attack on Iran.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: A lot of mega Is against an attack in Iran.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: So while he didn't do it last time, it was limited.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: It was the nuclear facilities that already been weakened by Israel,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: and it was delimited. And once he did it, he
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: stopped these Raelis and thus cut a dealer in a
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: sense with the Iranians to limit their response. I'm not
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: sure he could do the same today. Vance clearly I'm
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: sure is against an attack on Iran. So it's really
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: hard to tell what is actually going to happen and
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: what he's actually going to do. And will he do anything?
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Will you do something weak? Will you do something so
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: weak that the Iranians don't respond? Will he kind of
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: deal tip for tat like he did last time with
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: the Ranians? I just don't know. I just don't know. Finally,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: in terms of the situation in Iran itself, look, I
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: really do think this regime in Iran's days unnumbered no
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: matter what Trump does, partially as I laid out yesterday,
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: because just the economy is collapsing, the regime's levers. It
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: has very few levers other than guns. But at some
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: point they won't be they won't be able to pay
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: their own soldiers, and then the soldiers will turn against them.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Right now they were putting is that five U Indian banks,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: five Ranian banks are on the brink of collapse. That
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: includes Bank Seppa, which is one of Ian's three largest
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: banks and the primary bank of the Islamic Revolutionary God Corp.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: And the Iranian military, which could make it very difficult
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: for those entities to pay their soldiers. And once you
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: stop paying soldiers, you lose their loyalty very very quickly.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: The way to secure the loyalty of the military is
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: to make the military rich by giving them stealing assets
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: from the private secting giving into the military. That's how
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: it's done in Egypt, That's how it was done in Venezuela.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: And that way the military stays quiet. They have no
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: interest in regime change. But once they can't do it all,
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: you know that they turn against you. The Ranian Central
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Bank is printing money to continuously loan to Iranian banks,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: thus helping him stay afloat. But what is that? What
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: does that cause? Well, an Uranian curaty that are already
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: plummeted is basically, you know, you get spibally inflation. More
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: money you print, the more inflation you will get, the
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: worst economy will go. And then what happens. So this
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: regime does not have much long I don't think to survive. Indeed,
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: much of the current problem started when a large bank,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: the Ayan Day Bank, which was run by a bunch
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: of regime cronies and sat O, with nearly five billion
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: dollars in losses and piles of bad loans. They weren't
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: busted late last year, and Nana is kind of trickled
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: through the banking system. Caused the central bank to print
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: up huge amounts of money to try to keep the
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: banks afloat, caused the local councy to completely collapse, which
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: caused the bazaar, the shopkeepers to go and strike, which
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: led to the demonstrations. So it often starts with banks,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: it often starts with inflation. And there's every reason to
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: believe this regime's days unnumbered. You know, a dollar reserves,
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: you know, a way down from where they were, and
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: you know they have no economy other than the oil
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: they pump out. And again I've said in the past,
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: if the all work is going to strike, that could
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: be the decisive thing, one of the decisive things that
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: tilt us into a you know, into a tipping point
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: to the collapse of the regime. But we will see,
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: we will see all right, from Iran to Greenland. God,
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: the differences of stock ninety two million people to what
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: fifty fifty five thousand Greenland is Now you know the
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: topic the Foreign Minister of Greenland and of Denmark a meeting.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: I think as we speak with Vance and Rubio, it's
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: not good. At the meeting with Vance, Vance is like, yeah,
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: we're gonna take Greenland. What are you gonna do about it? Basically,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Trump has said. Trump was asked earlier today, he was
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: asked basically he was told, you know, the Prime Minister
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: of Greenland doesn't want the United States to take over.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: And he said, who said the prime minister? I said,
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know who that is. You know, you know,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: that's basically his problem. Greenland will be ours. He doesn't
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: care what the people in Greenland think or want. It
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: has no relevance. He's a vit as I told you yesterday,
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: He's just going to take what he wants. The European
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Union as in the old Viking uh, you know, as
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: as as much of Europe dealt with the Vikings of
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: the past, the European Union is scrambling to find ways
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: to bribe Trump not to do it, not to just
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: take Greenland. So they you know, they're saying they want
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: to find a way to allow Trump to declare victory,
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: you know, without him actually taking a Greenland for him
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: for turning it into part of the United States. So,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: for example, they're proposing that NATO significantly boost Arctic security,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: increased the presence of American troops which are radio there
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: in in Greenland, deploying more NATO troops from Europe onto
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: green Land and deploy more naval assets over there, or
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: you know, give the US mining concessions for the minerals
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: in ice in Greenland. By the way, there's a reason
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: the minerals in Greenland of not being exploited. If not
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: being mined, you know why, you know why the hot
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: to get to It's like Greenland, it's really really, really cold,
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: and there are other places that have these kind of
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: minerals that you can easily get easier get to. But okay,
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: if Trump ali insists, will mind them anyway, we'll lose
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: money on them, and we'll mind them anyway. The Opeons
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: are convinced that they can come to some kind of
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: common conclusion with the Trump administration. They think they can
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: find a mutually acceptable solution by basically groveling to Trump.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: And maybe they can. Maybe they can. Today, as I said,
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: they're having a what they're calling an honest conversation with
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: the administration, that is, with Rubio and fans around Iceland.
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: And you know, we'll see what they say. But Basically,
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: the indications are from everybody except Rubio as basically, the
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: administration has signaled that they want Greenland, and by Hoka,
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: by Krook, one way or another, they will get Greenland.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: And they are certainly not ruling out the use of force,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: even if it means the disbanding of NATO in order
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: to get Greenland. So you know, that's where we're hitting.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: One diplomat said, if you can smartly repackage Arctic security,
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: blend in critical minerals, put a big bow on top,
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: there's a chance. So you're pretty frantic about this. I mean,
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: I don't think originally they thought Trump was serious, but
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: I think now they really do think Trump is serious.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: And I think Trump, as I said yesterday, I think
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: he's on a adrenaline rush from how well Venezuela went
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: and how well the military performed, and he's like feeling it.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: He's feeling strong, he's feeling you know, mighty, And I
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if he attacks Iran and he drops
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: troops into Greenland. Who knows what he'll do. He's on
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: a power trip. He's on a power trip. All right, Oh,
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: all right, yeah, all right, let's talk a little bit
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: about trade. A couple of stories. A couple of stories
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: I want to hit. One is I talked about this
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: a few weeks ago. There was a trade deal between
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: EU and South America and Latin America countries, the big
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: Latin American countries Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and some others and
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: the EU and farmers protesters in the EU, and they delayed,
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: and there was negotiations, and this is a trade deal.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: It's been negotiated for twenty six years. That's how pathetic
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: the Europeans are. But to give them credit, it is
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: not done deal. So there is a trade pack which
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: means there is going to dramatically increase trade between Europe
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: and South America. That does include some agricultural products. Now
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: you know a lot of this will be phased in
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: over years, but it does mean a dramatic reduction in
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: tariffs in both directions. And this is a win win win,
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: it's everybody wins out of this. This is great. As
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: I've told you many times, free trade is the ideal,
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: you know, managed free trade, that is a slow movement
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: towards lowering tariffs and a zero tafts. It's not ideal,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: but it's better than an alternative. So we're getting other
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: parts of the world, in a sense, staking advantage of
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: the fact that the United States is stepping away from trade,
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: is less interested in trade, and other parts of the
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: world engaging in free trade agreements. So you know, as
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: I said, this will include Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised Chile is not part of it, but that
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: is the mirror Cosu Mircursu, who have a free trade
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: agreement between those four countries. So what you're going to
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: see is more and more regional free trades and the
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: free trade agreements between regions, but all of them cutting
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: the US out. I mean, South America is looking for
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: free trade agreement with Canada, right, They're looking for free
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: trade agreements with Asia, some of these, you know. So
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: the world is going to keep moving towards free trade
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: as at least in the short run, as the United
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: States rejects free trade, rejects trade with the rest of
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: the world. All right. In the meantime, with China, China
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: just announced that it has a trade surplus, right, a
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: trade surplus that is five trade sub plus is a
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: all time record. It's the largest trade soup plus they've
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: ever had. So with all the trade war they've engaged
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: through the United States or the United States engaged with them,
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: in spite of that, China is exporting more than it
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: ever has before. Indeed, the sipplus hit one point two
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: trillion dollars. Basically, everything they didn't export to the United
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: States they found other countries to export it to. Those
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: countries are seeing declining prices, whereas the United States is
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: seeing in those products that are not coming in from China,
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: rising prices. Now, the prices will rise and then they'll
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: stop rising. You know, the tariff is a one time
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: price hit, but you know, it takes months for the
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: price for the hit to get priced in. We're probably
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: looking at early early this year, sometime around the first
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: second quarter before prices from tariff goods will stop rising
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: at least in the short run. But the rest of
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: the world is getting a price decrease. So if this
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: was intended to weaken Chinese industrial capacity, it has not
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: exactly succeeded. If there was intended to reduce the amount
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: of you know, dollars flowing into China, that has not
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: been successful. China continues to manufacture huge quantities to be
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: the manufacturing hub of the world. And as I said,
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: record level of trade, so plus one point two trillion,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: a billion, trillion trillion. So China exports the United States
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: a plumber twenty plummeted twenty percent last year, right, and
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: they import from the United States a down fourteen point
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: six percent, So they're diverting goods to Europe. Germany is
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: importing a hu huge amount of Chinese goods and they're
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: imputing a huge amount, exporting a huge amount to Asia,
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: other countries in Asia. And you know, I think the
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: world trade will be rejigate, restructured, will production will be rejigged,
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: and world structured. And the United States is paying at
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: least a price, a significant price for all of that.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: We're selling at fewer things to China. The as the farmers,
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: the farmers out there, soybean farmers, how much of soybeans
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: they sold to China this year as compared to regular years.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: And of course we're inputting less from China, which means
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: we're having to pay higher prices for the stuff we
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: either make in the United States or input from other
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: parts of the world. All right, I mean a consequence
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: of a lot of this. A consequence of kind of
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: the state of America is that a lot of people
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: are either and the consequence of the attitude of immigration
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: is that a lot of people are either leaving the
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: United States or not coming here to begin with, who
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: would have otherwise. What we're seeing right now is a
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: real brain drain, a real brain drain from the United States.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: We're seeing Chinese students, graduate students, PhD students who traditionally
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: would have stayed in the US, gone into academia, maybe
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: gone into industry and worked on science and engineering projects. Well, now,
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: given the hostility to ars immigrants and added to that
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: dostility towards funding of science, many of them are going
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: back to China. So whereas almost all of the top people,
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: almost all of the top people in AI in the
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: United States city, almost every one of them is an immigrant,
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: in the future there won't be any of those top
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: people because those top people are disincentivized from stay. Indeed,
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: Trump's all I mean, Trump's you know actual National Security
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: program actually makes this very explicit, right. It basically says
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: that you know here it is, I've got I've got
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: the h this is a national security strategy. Quote We
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: cannot allow meritocracy to be used to justification to open
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: America's labor market to the world in the name of
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: finding global talent that undercuts American workers in our In
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: out every principle and action, America and Americans must always
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: come first. Not future Americans, not people who might become Americans,
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: becoming Americans, and ideally heritage Americans. That's me. That's not
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: the document. So America is not interested in the Einstein's
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: of the world coming to America. America is not interested
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: in all those rocket scientists who came in America after
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: World War Two. America is not interested in the Soviet
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: engineers or immigrated to the United States escaping the Soviet Union.
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: America is not interested in the biotech and AI and
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: quantum engineering students coming from China. No, we don't want you.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: We don't want you. That is the message the Trump
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: administration is sending in its National Security Document, we don't
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: want you, and knows that talent will go somewhere else.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: The talent is in demand. Many countries now are setting
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: of funds, setting up funds to attract American talents or
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: talent that would have traditionally gone to America is not
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: going to go to them. And the worst of that,
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: the scariest of that, is China, which is not only
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: attracting Chinese talent. Back, I told you about the scientist
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: who is working on MR and A vaccines, a Chinese
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: immigrants of the United States. An American working in America
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: doing amazing work in America, packed up gone gone to
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: China because he can't get the funds here. He doesn't
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: know what the future of M or any vaccines are
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: here in the United States. He doesn't feel welcome here,
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: and the Chinese offered him a lot of money. In
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: the past, he would have not gone. Canada has recently
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: announced at one point seven billion dollar pool to try
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: to attract American scientists or again global scientists who might
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: have gone to America, usually to come to Canada. The
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: EU is doing the same France as a separate strategy.
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: Belgium is doing a separate thing. Now, many of these
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: countries might not be appealing for other reasons, but the
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: United States is so unappealing that they might even consider
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: going to Belgium. Like, who the hell wants to live
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: in Belgium? But offer you good money and you don't
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: have to deal with ice. Maybe that's a good deal.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: In a survey by Nietzsche magazine of twelve hundred scientists,
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: they found that three quarters of those surveyed said they
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: were considering leaving the United States, while applications for US
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: scientists seeking jobs abroad have jumped. If you look at
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: analysis of immigration data from last year. This is from
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: a story by Jerry Sieb on a sub stack. Anyway,
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: if you look at immigration data analysis data, six six
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: hundred and ninety Americans applied for Dutch work, family or
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: study permits, the highest in a decade, and many of
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: the applicants came from trying to get knowledge and talent
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: permits scientists and engineers. By one measure, graduate student enrollment
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: in American universities is dropped significantly. That's because most graduate
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: students in STEM in the United States foreign students. Americans. Yeah,
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: I mean they dominate philosophy and sociology and psychology and
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: all the all the non hard sciences, all the non STEMP.
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: STEMP is dominated by foreigners. So yeah, it's this process
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: will happen. It's not gonna happen quickly. It's not like
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: there are labs and universities out there who can easily
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: absorb a significant number of American academics or scientists leaving.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: This will happen slowly, but this is a disaster for
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: long term economic success in the United States. It's a
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: disaster for the globe because I think scientists and engineers
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: are much more productive in the US because it has
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: a better entrepreneurial environment than there are anywhere else in
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: the world. But if they're discoveraged from coming here, or
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: if it's made impossible for them to come here, or
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: they're seduced to go elsewhere, they will go, and we
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: all will suffer, not just Americans, but the globe in general.
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: So whereas for most of the last for almost all
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: of the last two hundred and fifty years, the United
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: States was the place where everybody else's brain drain went,
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: where all the best, the best talent from the world escaped.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: You know, there was a brain drain from the UK
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: in the nineteen seventies. I Ran wrote about this. There's
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: a brain drain from Germany in the nineteen thirties, and
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: then again in the nineteen fifties. There's a brain drain
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: from Russia. A variety of different occurrences there's being a
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: brain drain from China over the last thirty years. So yeah,
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: the the uh, it's now altern I guess to be
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: the source of the dream. Oh, a couple of good
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: news stories for change. Uh, there's a story out Basically,
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: you know, and you know that more people are surviving
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: from cancer today than ever before. Basically, the five year
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: survival rate for cancers has increased from fifty to seventy percent.
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: So whereas twenty years ago or thirty years ago, you know,
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: only fifty percent of people diagnosed with cancer lived past
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: five years. Today that number is seventy percent. And now
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of reasons for that. Early detection
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: is one of them, better treatments is another. And seventy
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: percent recovery and living five years is not high enough.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: We want it to be ninety nine percent, but it is.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: It is definitely progress. It is definitely progress, and it
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: is the consequence of the hard work of many of
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: those scientists who might be leaving us. It is the
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: hard work of scientists, it's the hard work of doctors.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: It's the emphasis on preventive screening that has increased significantly
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: in the United States. You catch cancer early, it's much
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: easier to cure than if you catch cancer late. So
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: that is that is all good news. It is all
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: good news. And of course the fact that people don't
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: smoke anymore has also reduced just the prevalence of cancer
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: and how damaging it is. You know, lung cancer from smokers.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: It's a killer, and that has declined dramatically over the
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: last fifty years. All right, And then this one is
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: kind of an interesting story. And partially because it's an
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: interesting story, pussy, because it was published in The Guardian.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: The Guardian, for those of you do not know, is
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: a British newspaper which is on the left, I mean
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: really on the left, solidly on the left. And yet
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: this is a story debunking like medical hysteria. Here's the bombshell,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: the bombshells, you know. The bombshell is that there is
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: now doubt being cast. Yeah, we know climate change, but
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: now this is different. This is not climate change. There's
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: doubt being cast on the idea that there are microplastics
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: throughout your body slowly killing you and you should stop
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: eating plastics. Do any of you eat plastics, but you
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: should stop using plastics because little bits of plastics microscopic
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: bits of plastics are dropping from the plastic bottles you
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: drink from, or the folks or the straws or whatever
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: it is, and they get into your body and they
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: wreck havoc, and your brain is filled with microplastics, filled
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: with microplastics anyway there. Now there's high profile studies are
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: being published that are basically questioning the presence of microplastics
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: throughout the human body and are throwing doubt by scientists
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: who say the discoveries of the microplastics are probably the
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: result of contamination and false positives. One chemist called the
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: concerns about microplastics, about the studies about microplastics a bombshell.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: You know, studies have claimed to have revealed micro and
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: nanoplastics in the brain test, these placentas, arteries and elsewhere,
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: and they've been reported extensively by the media. And indeed,
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: my doctor was concerned because I drink a lot of
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: water out of plastic bottles and I might have microplastics
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: all of my body. I'm going to send her this article.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: And you know, while there's a lot of plastic out
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: there flowing into the ocean and you know, cold polluting stuff,
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: it's really not clear that there are any health risks
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: and damage from the plastics that we actually consume to
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: human beings. People are flipping out over this. For example,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: the test the tests for, you know, microplastic residue in
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: the brain, for example, often just it's not identifying the
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: residue of the plastic. It's often just identifying fat. I
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: don't know that if you know this, But there's a
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: lot of fat in your brain. So fat is known
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: to make false positives for poly ethylene. Fat is known
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: to make false positives with polyethyne. So when they researchers
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: win and they found lots of polyethylene in the brain,
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: they flipped out. They flipped out. But it turns out
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: that about sixty percent of your brain is fat. That's
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: depressing somehow. I don't like that thought. I know, it
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: just is what it is, But God, my brain is fat.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: That just doesn't sound right. Well, if it's fat and
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: you can't readly differentiate between the two, then what are
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: we doing? A new study A new scientist looking at
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: that study has said recently that study is really bad
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: and it is very explainabout why it is wrong. So,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, what I find interesting here is not that
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: another scientific theory about we're all gonna die is shown
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: to be false. I mean, I like those studies. That's
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: all good. I celebrate all that. But what amazes me
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: and what I find is good good news is that
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: it was published in the Guardian, a bastion of the left.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: So that's got to be a good sign. It means
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: that the evidence is so overwhelming even the Guardian can't
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: can't overlook it. H Oh sorry, I closed the window
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: with the study already. So if you're interested in the
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: name of the study, check out the Guardian magazine, the
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: Guardian newspaper. Let me see, maybe can open it up.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: But uh it is uh uh Tom, why can't I
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: find it? No? There it is? Okay, let's see, uh
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: if I can tell you what the study is. So
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: it's uh okay. So that's the study that chose the other.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: Here's a matters of wise letter. Uh, it's the matters
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: of wise letter is in Nature Medicine. It's challenges in
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: this in studying mycoplastics in human brain. So matter, it's
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: in Nature Medicine. It's in a section called matters are Rising.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: I guess that's where you challenge existing and the paper
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: is called challenges in studying microplastics in human brain. But
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: my understanding is they are now a number of papers
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: challenging the general research on the dangers of microplastics. More broadly,
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: somebody says that some brains are fattier than others. I
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: don't even want to hear that. I mean, and what
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: are we how how are we going to measure this?
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: And then we start fat shaming people's brains. I mean,
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know. There's something very off putting about fat
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: brains and funny at the same time. All right, guys,

• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: not that that's these days. A good word. But that
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: just the globalistic, the globalist nature of the Iran brookshow. Ooh,
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: al turns on, I'm a globalist anyway, Hoppa Campbell is
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: an American, that's unusual. CP Milkan an American. But we
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: have Indians and Norwegians and Czech and all over the
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: in Israelis and all over newly Danned I think in
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: American as well, payion dollars. Canadians, god forbid, even Canadians.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: We got Swiss Fanks coming in from Switzerland and uh
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: you know, we've even got pound stoling from the UK.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yes, this is and we've got philosophy philosophical
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: detective is in Ethiopia. This is a global show. We
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: are here not to change America. We're here to change
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: the world. Change the world. So Nick, thank you as
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: well for the sticker. So and Greg thank you. So
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: join us in trying to change the world having an
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: impact all the way to Ethiopia. That's great. What are
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: you doing Ethiopia, God, I would say, come to America,
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: but you can't probably and and you won't be a
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: welcome here. I don't know. God, Ethiopia, that's a that's
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: a but there are opportunities in OOP these days, the
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: economy is doing fairly well, and uh, you know, so
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: it's it's not as bad as it used to be,
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: would be my guess. We'll see if he answers from Ethiopia.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to us with a chat. Passes.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: Have you heard about sendat to? Bernie Monneil from Ohio
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: proposed the Exclusive Citizenship Act of twenty twenty five, which
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: ends dual citizenship. What's your opinion, Well, you know, I
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: think it's I think it's horrible. Why is it the
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: business of the government if you have dual citizenship? I mean,
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: if you're disloyal, if you're committing treason, try me for treason.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: But you know, look, I am a get as many
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: citizenship as you can. Passports are valuable. Look, I'm an egoist.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: I'm a patriot, but I'm an egoist, and I'm a
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: patriot from America that seems to be fading. But I'm
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: an egoist and it's clearly my self interest to many passports.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: It makes travel easier, cheaper, and it makes running away
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: easier if that is necessary. And the more the more
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: things that you're in the United States left or right,
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: it becomes more relevant. So, you know, if you're an egoist,
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: your standard is not what does the government want. The
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: standard is not some loyalty test. The standard is what's
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: good for your life. And just like you know it
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: might for many of us, it's not good for our
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: life to stay in the place we were born. I
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: think immigration is a crucial freedom. Is a crucial freedom
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: for every human being on the planet should have the
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: freedom to immigrate. Yeah, assuming they're not a criminal and
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: don't intend ill to the country that they're moving to.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: So yeah, Philosophical detective, while he was born in Ethiopia,
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: says he's considering coming to America because but he's reconsidering
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: it now. He's considered it. He's reconsidering it now because
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: of what is happening. In spite of the fact that
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: the US is where it's at, where things are happening,
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: all this bad stuff is you know, it's it's the
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: freest I don't know if fist by any standard. I
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: wouldn't say by any standard. By some standards, it's the feist.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: They are places that are freer economically, there are places
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: that are free in other respects. Anyway, I'm a big
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: proponent of dual, triple, quadruple citizenship if you can get it,
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: and you know, if you every one of those citizenships,
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: every one of those countries could demand, should demand from
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: you non treasonous behavior. And your primary place of residence
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: should be the place that you know where you're taxed,
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: and you know where you abide by the law yet
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: where you vote and stuff like that. But yeah, I
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: don't see duse citizenships are not. I don't know of
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: any dual citizens that quah as dual citizens have heard America.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: So it's just another xenophobic play to the racists, play
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: to the base, attempt to rally the forces. And shame
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: on Bernie Moneo for playing that game. Shame, shame, shame, Thomas.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: Did you see the interview with Bolton. With Bolton where
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: he claimed that all that all the Greenland issues could
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: have been worked out back into twenty nineteen with good,
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: rational diplomatic negotiations. Trumpy said, has totally screwed this up.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: So I haven't seen it, but I'm not sure what
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: he means. That is, in twenty nineteen, the United States
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: could have bought Greenland, could have taken over Greenland. I
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: don't think that's the case. I think he might have
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: meant beefing up security and maybe having access to minerals,
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: but that's not what Trump cares about. That has nothing
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: to do with what Trump cares about. Trump doesn't care
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: about security, he doesn't care about the minerals. Trump cares
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: about the territory. He wants to occupy it. He wants
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: to believe leave office with America being bigger. He wants
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: to be remembered by history as expanding America. So all
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: these issues about NATO and about and about security and
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: about minerals, yeah, I mean that could be easily dealt
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: with today. But you have to understand that that is
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: not not, not not what Trump cares about, never has
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: cared about. Trump wants a legacy, and he wants to
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: have a legacy, like, yeah, America got Greenland because of Trump.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: That'll put it in the history books. I mean, more
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: Land is good by for a Viking. Liam do mentally
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: ill people really have free will is their ability to
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: choose to focus based on delusions inside your head. Since
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: they are disconnected from reality, both determinism and free will
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: don't apply to them. I think that's I think that's
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: probably true. But the question is did they have free will?
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: That is, there's no question up to at a certain
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: point free will becomes irrelevant. You can't access your capacity
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: to do it because of the mental illness. But is
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: the mental illness consequence. Is the mental illness the consequence
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: of some dramatic change in blood chemistry that makes it
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: impossible for you to act, Or is the mental illness
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: the consequence of choices that you made that have screwed
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: up your ability, you know, to use your cognition. So
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: while I think once you have the mental illness at
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: a certain extent or a certain extreme, you probably can't
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: implement your free will. And that's why drugs or electrocution
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: or something like that might help rebalance the chemicals in
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: the brain and make it possible for you to re
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: exercise it. It was for some people it was free
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: will that led them into that abyss. That is, either
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: the evasions or the choices that they made. Henrik, thank
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: you another another twenty dollars in Norwegian. Tony really appreciated, Henrick.
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: It's good to see you here, all right. Jennifer Trump
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: was at a Ford plant here yesterday and a guy
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: he called him and Trump gave him the finger. It
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: is on video, very presidential. The food the Ford employee
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: is suspended for now. Yeah, I mean, why would we
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: expect better of Donald Trump? I mean he gives us
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: the finger every day in his tweets. Basically, he's a
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: vulgar human being, so it doesn't surprise me. And by
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: the way, his base is probably cheering. That's how you
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: go after him, that, you know, That's that's how you
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: respond to an evil leftist heckler. They love it, So
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: he plays to them. Michael, if he society depends on
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: objective law and not an individual's being forced to prove
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: their innocence on demand, absolutely, absolutely, But the objective law
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: is being ignored by the federal government, which is supposed
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: to be the one that abides by it, and yet
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: it's being ignored by the way. The Institute for Justice
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: IJ is fighting some of these cases and taking when
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: a citizen. I think they've got a case right now
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: where a citizen got detained by Ice. They are taking
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: it to court. They're suing the Trump administrations, so and
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: and there might be many many more suits like that.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: So it's IJ is together with a specific legal foundation.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: Those are the two other than nine men Institute the
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: only two organizations I would consider financially supporting because they
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: do amazing work to protect US. P Gupta, my white
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: local friends don't feel the visceral fear of an encounter
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: with ice. This is from Pegupta, who, by the name
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: I assume it's not white, will require we're required to
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: submit the unconstitutional stopping and questioning because of the color
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: of this skin. It's just horrific. I'm really sorry this
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: is happening to you. It's just not America. It's anti American.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: Ryan Canton administration prosecute him. Canton new administration prosecuted him.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: There's no statue of limitation on this run on the
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: Democrats on that. Democrats run on that. Democrats, you know,
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they win on that. If they win,
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know what the temperature of the
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: American people is right now. But yes, I assume that
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: they can in the future, but who knows what's what
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: the future has in still for us. I don't know.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: It's dicey Newly Dan. I can now say I know
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: an asylum seeker from my area who has been detained
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: for many months. That's horrible. That's horrible. I mean, I
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: don't agree with asylum law. I don't think people should
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: be allowed in the country just based on asylum. That
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be the criteria should be work, as I said,
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: But they hear already and the law is what it is,
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: and the law allows the asylum seekers and to change
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: the law midstream in order to detain people and deport people.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: I think it's just terrific. Mary Alene Wild. Jdvans be
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: an even worse president of Trump. He seems vicious. What
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: do you think his chances are being elected in twenty
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: twenty eight, Yes, I think Jadvance would be more worse
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: than Trump because Jadvance is ideological, He's smart. Trump is
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: not smart. Jadvance is smart. Jadvans is more evil in
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: that sense than Trump is. And JD. Vance I think,
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: has a clear vision of what he wants to make America,
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: whereas Trump doesn't care. Trump is just Trump is just
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: doing what he's doing. He doesn't really care. So I
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: think he's very very and I've said this for years now,
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: he's very dangerous. I don't right now, I don't think
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: his chances are that good to be elected in twenty
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: twenty eight, because I don't think the American people are
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: going to buy into him. I think he's too wooden.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: I think he's too I think he's he comes across
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: as two spooky. But you never know, of course, who
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: would have thought Trump could get elected? And so I
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: think his chances right now not high, But that means nothing.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: I've never been very good at assessing probabilities of people
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: getting elected. M good can Blue cities and states tend
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: to offer more freebies and sanctuary, and yet the more
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: I leegals in Red states maybe with exception of California,
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: the the and to the extent that they are oi
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: legal in blues. It's not the freebies, right. Why are
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: they more legals in California? Not because of the freebies.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: The more legals in California because that's where the jobs are.
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: They were legals in New York because that's where the
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: jobs are in Texas because the jobs in Texas. So
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: illegals go where the work is. And the many, many,
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: many many of them in Red states and nobody's harassed them.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: And I don't see Ice going in mass into those
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: red states to go get them. Uh semonic. So what
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: to do with counter to counter rising otholituanism. I mean, look,
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: there's nothing one can do other than speak up, speak up,
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: challenge it, make clear to people that you are not
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: in agreement. That's all you can do. Capitalism makes profits,
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: not healthcare. There is no healthcare without capitalism. Capitalism created healthcare.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: There is no you know, there is no medicine, modern
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: medicine without the capital necessary to invest in hospitals and
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: machinery and science and innovation and technology. You think a
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: CT scan was came out of nowhere. It came from
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: businesses trying to make money. So there is no such
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: thing as healthcare without capitalism. And indeed, the entire world
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: is free writing off of the innovation that happens in
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a little bit of tiny bit
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: of freedom in the United States, in medicine, rock is fascism,
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: while just as in mobil, more sustainable than communism because
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: it's parasitic instead of societal. Maybe we don't have good examples,
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, other than Latin America, but that last very long.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: We don't have a really good example of fascism being sustainable.
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: Look at North Korea, it's communist and sustainable. So it's
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: not clear they're both suicidal. They both are self defeating. Ultimately,
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: it's just a matter of the speed. And I don't
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: know that there's any one mechanism or way to say
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: one always will be faster than the other. Umy ten lakes?
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 1: How you on Einman set in a show only few
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 1: are capable of experiencing the true love? Are they any
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: levels in love with different levels of knowledge, intelligence and
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: values of people? Yeah? Probably, I mean it's not like
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: people don't experience anything similar to love. I think I
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: managed right. The true love, full love, a full expression
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: of love requires being a real valuer and to be
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 1: a real value or requires knowledge, not intelligence. Has nothing
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: to do with intelligence. It has to do with value
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: orientation and a commitment to using your mind. It means
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: being conceptual at whatever level you can be conceptual. You
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: can be a bricklayer and be conceptual, and you can
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: be a astrophysicist and anything outside of astrophysicist, you're refusing
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: to be conceptual, and you've still got a perceptual level mentality.
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: And you know, love requires that you be conceptual, you
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: be integrated and be conceptual in your life as a whole.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: And that is you know, that's where very few people,
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: very few people have it a Wes thank you for
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: the fifty dollars sticker, really really really appreciate it, and
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: that really gets us much close at us second hour goal.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: Thank you Liam. If ice demand your ID, should you
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: refuse even if it means getting arrested. I mean, there's
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: no answer to that, right, It depends on the context.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 1: Are you on your way to work and there's an
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: important meeting you have to make and this meeting is
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: going to determine your career? Then yeah, some of them
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: that I didn't get out of there. You know, the
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: primacy should be the meeting. Is it? You know, you're
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: you're in a week vacation, you know, a week vacation
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: and you're not doing anything really and just hanging around.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: And if you lose the time, nothing really dramatic is
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: going to happen. No values, major values are going to
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: be lost, and yeah, don't give them. And by the way,
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: you probably won't get arrested because they have no writer issue.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: You know, they might detain you for a while, but
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: once they realize that you know the law, once they
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: realize that you're standing up in principle. Most of the
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: comfortations I've seen with Ice, they will ultimately walk away
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: after threatening and harassing, they will ultimately walk away because
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: they know they have no leg to stand. And if
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: you say you have no right to ask me for
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: an ID, I do not have to give you an
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: I am an American citizen and I will not show
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: you an ID because you have no right to demand one.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: Ultimately they will go away. And if they don't, then yeah,
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: you're committing a civil disobedience. It's not even civil disobedience
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: because you know, I mean breaking the law. Civil disobedience
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: is when you break the law in order to make
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: a point. But there's no law he has to be broken.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: It's just saying, no, I know the law, and you're
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: outside of the law. You are outside the law, not me,
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: you Ice. Happocamp But why is the Supreme Court holding off?
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: And it's twa fooling. I don't know. They're supposed to
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: rule today and they didn't. I'm very worried, you know,
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: are they afraid of the wrath of the Orange Viking?
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: Is it possible all taras will be thrown out and
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: the stock conquer will sell, will sow? The stock market's
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: not going to sow either way. I just don't think
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: the tasks are that important for the stock market. But
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know why they're delaying. I mean, maybe maybe
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: it's because Maybe it's because they still haven't made up
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: their mind, maybe because it's close, maybe because that maybe
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: because Roberts is trying to get a consensus. Maybe he's
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: trying to get a bigger majority for whatever ruling it is,
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: and therefore they're having debates internally. That's the only thing
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: I can think of. Otherwise, everybody expected the ruling last weeks.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. Something inside the court
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: is happening. I mean, they really expected this at the
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: end of the year. They expected it before New Year's
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: Blaze guitar lessons. What do you make of illegals voting
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: in Michigan? From everything I know, there is no evidence
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: that illegals of voting in mass in Michigan. Can you
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: find an occurrent here and there that legal voted, Yes,
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: but not nowhere near the numbers to sway an election
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: to make a real difference. So, I mean, I think
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: it's a lot of BS propaganda by Republicans who are
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: trying to, you know, create a situation where we all
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: doubt election outcomes so that they can take over generally.
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: I do support the need for people to ID themselves
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: when they vote. I just don't see the downside of that.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 1: Everybody has an ID pretty much in the United States,
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: and you know, some kind of ID, something that can
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: link you to you know, the person written there in
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: the voter role. That should you know that that should
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: be policy across all the states. It's not in many states,
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: but it should be. James, will the American people not
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 1: tolerate gestopo like police intuitive in intrusive policing is a feature,
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: not a bug of this administration. You know, we'll see
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: so far it's not popular, but it's really hard to tell.
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: Until we actually see an election where people vote on
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 1: this issue, it's it's going to be hard to tell
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: how they really feel. I mean, part of the problem
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: is that most of the people obstructing or most of the
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 1: people resisting ICE, somebody said, cafia wearing radical leftists, and
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: nobody likes those people either. So if the opposition to
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: ICE gets associated with the far left, that will not
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 1: be good. That will be a disaster. Michael. We always
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: thought the left was hate filled and mindless and cannot
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: be reached. But Maga is far more ignorant and rabbit,
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: and they have greater numbers. I think that's right. I
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: think they have greater numbers. You know, we will see
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: in the in the months and years to come. But yeah,
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: I agree with you, not Javis algorithm. I'm not sure
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: we can save the world this world. I'm not sure
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: we can save this particular world either. I think we
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: can change the world future generations that world, but who knows,
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 1: who knows how long it takes. Kubuta anent. Wee against
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: government funding of science, yes, but well we're not what
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 1: we and I would favor the government coming and saying
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: we're against funding science and therefore we are going to
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: phase out government funding of science over the next two
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: years or four years or ten years or whatever it is. Right,
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: What I'm against is the government just randomly, you know,
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: deciding we're gonna cut government science twenty percent. We're not
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: against funding of science. We're actually very much pro government
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: funding of science. But we're just gonna cut a bunch
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: of it, and we're gonna cut it primarily in areas
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: we don't like. We're gonna cut it primarily to universities
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: that have pissed us off, and we're going to politicize
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: the old posts even more than it's already politicized. So sure,
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: let's support cutting cutting funding for science completely, but not
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: in the way it's being done today, and not with
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: any kind of alternative to it. Right if you say
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: we're gonna cut government funding of science, and well, is
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: it going to cut taxes, because we're going to cut
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 1: governments spending on one hundred other different things, and therefore
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 1: we're going to leave more money in the hands of
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: people to be able to fund the science. Somebody has
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: to fund it, but the government can't continue to tax
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: us at the rates it does and expect people to
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: fund the sciences as well. So you know, cut government
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 1: spending throughout, not just science, ultimately cuts taxes. I believe,
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: of all the things government spends money on that are illegitimate,
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: cutting government funding of science is going to be one
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: of the last ones. So that the economy is booming
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: and people have money, and now you cut science and
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: our private people are poming in it, and or you
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: phase it out over four years and you let everybody
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: know it's being phased out. She led the private sector
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: pick up the losses, Clark, I'm blocking people on Facebook
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: left and right who are supporting ICE. This is a
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: deal breaker for me. I don't care how long I've
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: known you. If you're reinforcing America transforming into a police state,
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: I won't try and change your mind. You're going on
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: my block list permanently. The mindless hatred is astounding. I mean,
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: good for you. I think that's exactly the right approach.
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean this is preparing America for police state.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: This is a step in that direction, and we have
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: to make a stand otherwise there's no end to it.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: And people supporting this are supporting a police state ultimately,
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: all in the name of fighting in the left, All
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 1: in the name of fighting the left. And look, I've
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 1: warned you about this for a decade, you know, I
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: told you so. Is something you can hear a lot
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 1: from me. Rolands says, don't worry about the fat content
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: of your brain. What matters is the ideas it contains. Yeah,
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: the question is does the fat content in my brain
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: impact the ideas that I hold? Are the ideas than fat? Yeah? Yeah,
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: I'm kidding, guys, I'm kidding, Michael. A lot of people
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: on the right are saying Obama used ice in the
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: same way and no one complained when he did it.
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: That's just not true. Obama actually deported more people than
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: trumped it, a lot more people than trumped it. But
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: Obama did it at the border. They crossed the border,
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: they went through a proceeding, and they were deported immediately.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: And he did it. You know, in the pursuit criminals
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: is on obviously not very consistently, because there were a
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: lot of people from Obama era still haven't been deported,
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: but he didn't send During Obama, you did not have
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: ice roaming neighborhoods in America, masked in some cases going
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 1: door to door, even though that's illegal. I don't remember
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: people being shot. I don't remember people being harassed. Yes,
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: they deported more people because they did it more effectively
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: and because they could deport them at the border. That's
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: where the border police, patrol, whatever you want to call them,
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: belong at the border Minnesota. Minneapolis is not at the border.
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: And I'm fine, we're taking ice and stationing them. Yeah,
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: solder his shoulder along the entire Canadian border, particularly in winter.
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: I think that would be really, really good David reminded
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: of call Shift and get him on the show. As
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 1: far as I know from his latest podcast, he has
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: at home in Puerto Rico doing in person show with him.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: I'll have to I'm going to try to arrange that.
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: Uh oh, Michael says, can you reach out to Destiny
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: and do a show before you begin travel again in
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: two weeks. I don't know. I'm I'm not. I'm hesitant
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 1: to do anything with Destiny. I mean, some of the
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: stuff that's come out about Destiny and some of the
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 1: things that he said, and some of the his behavior
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: and some of the stuff that's in his background, it
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: makes me think it's not a good idea to be
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: too associated with Destiny right now. If it I like
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: the Shift angle better, EU needs to make Trump put
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: up or shut up about Greenland? Well, do you really
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: want to put Trump in a corner where he has
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 1: to do one of those two things? Because I don't think.
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: I don't think you want to put Trump in corners
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 1: like that, because I know how he'll behave if it.
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: If it says appeacement never ends, well, I agree with that,
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: but I'm not sure why you can do at this point,
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 1: they're not going to fight him. If he sends troops
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: into Greenland, it's over now. I think he should I
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 1: think they should let him in a sense, not fight him,
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: push him, and then let him take over Greenland and
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: see what happens. PSA. Fifth of December twenty five, Augustina
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 1: Vigas sid interviewed Josh Wyndham. Yeah, Josh Wyndham is on
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: the Institute of Justice on the area's podcast about ice cases.
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 1: Perhaps you would make a good guest to have on
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: your show. Yes. I have asked Angela and my assistant
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: to reach out to Josh. I know Josh. Josh was
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 1: a lost student at I'm pretty sure at University of
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 1: North Carolina Chapel Hill when he invited me to come
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: and give a talk this I gave a talk at
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: the university, So I've known Josh for more than ten years.
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 1: I think so. Yes, I would love to have it
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: on the show to talk about that. James, if you
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 1: did a show I sit down show with Peter Schiff,
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: you would probably get ten thousand new subscribers overnight. I
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: doubt that very much. Thomas, you quote you may claim
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 1: the right to kill, as all fighters do, but no
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 1: one before you has ever thought of forbidding life to
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: those still living. You may claim the right to kill,
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 1: as all fighters do, but no one before you has
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 1: ever thought of forbidding life to those still living. It
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: took some time to truly understand what Ran conveyed here. Yep,
• 1:42:37
