- 0:55Speaker 1: Don't lad fundamental principles of freedom, national self interest, an
- 1:02Speaker 1: individual ones. This is the Iran book Show, right, everybody
- 1:13Speaker 1: welcome to on book show on this Thursday, June twenty fifth.
- 1:21Speaker 1: Hope everybody's having a fantastic week and welcome, Thanks, thanks
- 1:26Speaker 1: for being here, all right. I guess I owe you
- 1:30Speaker 1: guys an explanation. I kind of disappeared after last Saturdays
- 1:35Speaker 1: show and here I am reappearing in Israel. I did
- 1:39Speaker 1: not expect to be here on Sunday. We're supposed to
- 1:44Speaker 1: have a Nikos and Iran show that has been postponed
- 1:49Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks. So what happened is that
- 1:53Speaker 1: during the show on Saturday, my mother passed away. Indeed,
- 2:00Speaker 1: during the super chat section of that show, I was
- 2:06Speaker 1: I noticed on my phone that I was receiving phone
- 2:09Speaker 1: calls from my my sister, and I had already guessed.
- 2:15Speaker 1: I guess during that segment that she was called to
- 2:19Speaker 1: tell me whether I passed. It was kind of I
- 2:22Speaker 1: was kind of expecting it. But yes, indeed, right after
- 2:26Speaker 1: the show I called her up, and indeed that is
- 2:29Speaker 1: what happened. So I spent Saturday figuring out how to
- 2:36Speaker 1: get to Israel. To get to get to Israel in
- 2:38Speaker 1: time for the funeral, had of course delay my my
- 2:43Speaker 1: attending OCONN, which starts tomorrow. I was supposed to be
- 2:47Speaker 1: the opening speakers of that. You know, the people in
- 2:50Speaker 1: the AOI shifted around and changed things. I you know,
- 2:56Speaker 1: I found these crazy flights to Israel that h it
- 3:01Speaker 1: was very difficult to get to. I had a flight
- 3:04Speaker 1: from Puerto Rico to New York, from New York to Lan,
- 3:06Speaker 1: and from Milan to Tel Aviv. And indeed on Tuesday
- 3:12Speaker 1: we had we had the funeral and and then you know,
- 3:19Speaker 1: it's it is a Jewish tradition that after somebody passes away,
- 3:24Speaker 1: the family sits and it's called shiva. They sit in
- 3:30Speaker 1: in uh in the home and and people come in
- 3:34Speaker 1: and visit, and uh, you do this for seven days,
- 3:38Speaker 1: and people coming and pay the condolences and sit around
- 3:43Speaker 1: and you talk and remembrance and uh, it's it's so uh.
- 3:51Speaker 1: I've been doing that every day. It's not easy. But yes,
- 3:55Speaker 1: you know, I I my mother was I think, a special,
- 3:59Speaker 1: special human being and she did. I have no complaints
- 4:03Speaker 1: and how I was brought up, even though we had
- 4:07Speaker 1: our share of fights and disagreements and conflicts, But overall,
- 4:13Speaker 1: I had a great upbringing and at a good job,
- 4:18Speaker 1: and you know, she brought me into this world. And
- 4:22Speaker 1: you know, in spite of the fact that I lived
- 4:24Speaker 1: very far away and I didn't see her very much.
- 4:27Speaker 1: Maybe once there were periods twice a year when they
- 4:33Speaker 1: would come my parents would come to visit us in
- 4:35Speaker 1: the United States where we lived in California, and we
- 4:37Speaker 1: would come to Israel. But you know, but overall, I
- 4:43Speaker 1: love my mom and and I have a huge appreciation
- 4:50Speaker 1: for the way she brought me up and and the
- 4:56Speaker 1: fact that she brought me into the world. That's that's
- 4:58Speaker 1: a pretty important the thing, right. So yes, so I've
- 5:03Speaker 1: I've been in Aral uh basically morning, you know, and
- 5:09Speaker 1: dealing with with all of that money. I have three siblings,
- 5:14Speaker 1: have a brother and two sisters. They have they have
- 5:17Speaker 1: they have their families, they have children, grandchildren in one case. Uh.
- 5:24Speaker 1: So the families all be together and people will be
- 5:28Speaker 1: coming in and out. Uh. And yeah, I think overall
- 5:33Speaker 1: it's been a a healthy kind of process of morning.
- 5:43Speaker 1: I am here until Saturday. Uh, Saturday, if I fly
- 5:48Speaker 1: basically a flight to London, and from London to New Orleans,
- 5:51Speaker 1: I will be I will I will make it to Okon.
- 5:54Speaker 1: I will arrive Sunday night to Oconn, and I'll be
- 5:57Speaker 1: at the conference Monday and Tuesday, and then we've got
- 6:01Speaker 1: there's a seminar on Ay, seminar on Wednesday, and then
- 6:04Speaker 1: I'll be back on Thursday. So I will try to
- 6:07Speaker 1: get as many shows as I can in in that gap,
- 6:11Speaker 1: but obviously it's not easy. Right now in Israel, it's
- 6:14Speaker 1: ten pm, so it is it is late, and I
- 6:23Speaker 1: you know, we'll see if I can do a show
- 6:24Speaker 1: tomorrow or not. But anyway, I appreciate everybody in the
- 6:28Speaker 1: chat and your condolences. Thank you. I appreciate that. I mean,
- 6:33Speaker 1: my mother did. She suffered a lot in the last
- 6:36Speaker 1: year of her life, and to a large extent, her
- 6:40Speaker 1: passing is a relief in the sense that she's no
- 6:44Speaker 1: longer suffering, which is which is a positive. It's tough
- 6:50Speaker 1: on my dad. My dad now is in eighty one
- 6:52Speaker 1: and he will be alone. It's not a lot of
- 6:55Speaker 1: family around him, but still it's on a day to
- 6:57Speaker 1: day basis, it's going to be difficult for him. Uh.
- 7:03Speaker 1: I don't think he quite expected to survive who he
- 7:05Speaker 1: thought it would be the other way around. That's the way. Uh,
- 7:09Speaker 1: you know, that's there's the things you can't control. But again,
- 7:13Speaker 1: she suffered, she suffered for for the month, for the
- 7:16Speaker 1: last year, and her you know, the suffering is over
- 7:20Speaker 1: and that that is that is definitely a good thing.
- 7:25Speaker 1: All right, Let's let us turn to what we usually
- 7:29Speaker 1: do in uh in these and uh just go over
- 7:35Speaker 1: the news. Uh. Yeah, there's there's certain parts of that.
- 7:39Speaker 1: You know, I haven't had a lot of time to
- 7:42Speaker 1: do this, so this is going to be more kind
- 7:44Speaker 1: of highlights and and and quick tidbits often the news.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Uh and uh, I didn't have time to come up
- 7:52Speaker 1: with a human achievement section. Uh, so you'll have to
- 7:56Speaker 1: wait for the for the positive news for a another time.
- 8:01Speaker 1: As I said, Nicos, we are rescheduled I think for
- 8:04Speaker 1: July fifth, so a week from Sunday. Well, we'll do
- 8:08Speaker 1: the eCos show on Curtsy Offen. I'm trying to think
- 8:11Speaker 1: what else and then as I said, for the next week,
- 8:14Speaker 1: touch and go into the shows as I travel, try
- 8:18Speaker 1: to get to New Orleans. And then whether they can
- 8:19Speaker 1: do anything in New Orleans or not, we will we
- 8:25Speaker 1: will see. Let's see what else. Yeah, I think that's
- 8:32Speaker 1: all the logistics we have. I don't know about the Internet,
- 8:38Speaker 1: the Wi Fi. I think we've done a show from
- 8:40Speaker 1: here before, so I hope it will work. It's so far,
- 8:44Speaker 1: so good, but I wouldn't be surprised if we got in.
- 8:48Speaker 1: I've got some problems in a little while. All right, well,
- 8:54Speaker 1: let's jump in. I think I think the most appropriate
- 8:56Speaker 1: story right now to start off is is the heat wave.
- 9:01Speaker 1: There's a massive heat wave going through Europe right now. Indeed,
- 9:06Speaker 1: I don't know if this is related to the massive
- 9:09Speaker 1: El Nino, which is a weather pattern that gets established
- 9:13Speaker 1: in a Pacific that changes the weather across the world.
- 9:17Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it's related to that. But anyway,
- 9:20Speaker 1: you know there are days and days of record breaking
- 9:24Speaker 1: temperatures in France and in Spain, UK and much of
- 9:31Speaker 1: central much of central Europe, and you know heat waves normally,
- 9:41Speaker 1: you know it's hot in what we do in the
- 9:43Speaker 1: United States when it gets hot is we turn on
- 9:46Speaker 1: the air conditioning. And I expect there's going to be
- 9:49Speaker 1: some significant heat waves in the United States this season.
- 9:53Speaker 1: I think because of this El Nino. I think it
- 9:55Speaker 1: causes significant heat waves late summer. But in the United States,
- 10:02Speaker 1: a heat wave is it's a heat wave, and again
- 10:04Speaker 1: you turn on the air conditioning. Indeed, we couldn't live
- 10:08Speaker 1: in places like Nevada and Las Vegas and Reno and
- 10:13Speaker 1: New Mexico and Arizona and Marto, California without AC without
- 10:18Speaker 1: a conditioning. But here's the thing. You'repe doesn't basically have
- 10:23Speaker 1: air conditioning, but you're more than that. It doesn't believe
- 10:25Speaker 1: in a conditioning. They resist a conditioning. So as temperatures
- 10:30Speaker 1: in places like Germany hit forty degrees celsius, which is
- 10:34Speaker 1: well of one hundred degrees fahrenheit, it gets stifling and
- 10:41Speaker 1: indeed dangerous for many people. And the expectation is that
- 10:45Speaker 1: a hundreds, maybe thousands of people will die from this
- 10:51Speaker 1: seat wave. The Europeans are not used to it, but
- 10:53Speaker 1: more port than it, they don't have the means to
- 10:56Speaker 1: deal with it. Which the means to deal with it
- 10:58Speaker 1: is it means for human beings to deal with nature's
- 11:05Speaker 1: attempt to kill us. Constant attempt to kill us is technology,
- 11:11Speaker 1: and Europeans refuse that technology and they suffer the consequences
- 11:19Speaker 1: for that. I mean, I'm looking at a heat wave
- 11:22Speaker 1: of France. Basically most of France is extreme high heat conditions.
- 11:28Speaker 1: French teachers unions are calling for a strike because the
- 11:33Speaker 1: working conditions are unacceptable. They can't work in the heats,
- 11:39Speaker 1: and they've been asking for mitigation measures. None have done
- 11:45Speaker 1: have been done. Remember, but schools, office buildings, and certainly
- 11:51Speaker 1: homes in Europe have no AC. Not all office buildings,
- 11:58Speaker 1: not all schools, not all homes, been a significant number
- 12:01Speaker 1: of them, particularly if you come from the United States,
- 12:04Speaker 1: where we very much take a c for granted, we
- 12:07Speaker 1: just expect it to be everywhere. You wouldn't go into
- 12:10Speaker 1: a store in much of America, you know, if you
- 12:15Speaker 1: knew there was not going to be AC. And they
- 12:17Speaker 1: all have as So yeah, I mean, this is a
- 12:24Speaker 1: dramatic crisis right now, and you're by you know, here's
- 12:28Speaker 1: from a Frenchman. This is a post I just want
- 12:32Speaker 1: to read you from somebody in France. So here's what
- 12:36Speaker 1: he says. France would sooner close at schools in a
- 12:39Speaker 1: heat wave, then fit them with devices demonstratively improve concentration
- 12:44Speaker 1: and learn. In the Swiss canton of Geneva, installing an
- 12:48Speaker 1: A conditioner, this is Switzerland. This isn't even France, right,
- 12:53Speaker 1: The Swiss Canton of Geneva installing an a condition that
- 12:55Speaker 1: requires a doctor's certificates. During the recent energy crisis, Spain
- 13:01Speaker 1: and Italy barred public buildings from cooling below twenty seven
- 13:05Speaker 1: degrees Celtic grade centigrade, hot enough to dull your cognitive
- 13:10Speaker 1: powers by five percent. In the midst of the current
- 13:14Speaker 1: deadly heat wave, my own city, against against Is in
- 13:18Speaker 1: Belgium is officially advising people to quote avoid air conditioners
- 13:24Speaker 1: in spite of the heat wave. The resistance is baked
- 13:28Speaker 1: into European regulation. In many countries, a conventional air conditioner
- 13:32Speaker 1: lowers your building's energy ratings. The result is entirely predictable.
- 13:37Speaker 1: Owners and landlords de client to install units or rip
- 13:40Speaker 1: out the ones they have. Those left without built in
- 13:44Speaker 1: cooling fall back of drafty inefficient portables that can scarcely
- 13:49Speaker 1: make it dense in the temperature. I own one, myself writes,
- 13:54Speaker 1: a wheezing box with a bad hose shoved through a
- 13:58Speaker 1: rickety fabric covering the It is the thermodynamic equivalent of
- 14:05Speaker 1: mopping the floor with the tap running. That's simply the
- 14:10Speaker 1: direction in which European regulations have nudged me. The ac
- 14:15Speaker 1: of version has been penetrated, has even penetrated into the
- 14:20Speaker 1: commanding heights of European officientdom. In its public guidance or heat,
- 14:27Speaker 1: the World Health Organization mentions a conditioning only in passing,
- 14:31Speaker 1: and conditionally he quotes it here says well, if you
- 14:35Speaker 1: must use a conditioning. In its statement on the one
- 14:39Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five thousand heat deaths, I want to
- 14:42Speaker 1: say that again, one hundred and seventy five thousand heat
- 14:47Speaker 1: deaths annually in the who's European region. That's just in Europe.
- 14:54Speaker 1: It says nothing about artificial cooling at all. Instead, citizens
- 15:00Speaker 1: advice to draw the curtains and drink enough water as
- 15:04Speaker 1: though it was still nineteen fifty five or maybe twelve fifteen.
- 15:10Speaker 2: A two hundred page WHO World Health Organization report on
- 15:14Speaker 2: heat prevention grants a conditioning a single grudging page, immediately
- 15:21Speaker 2: followed by two and a half.
- 15:22Speaker 1: Pages about its drawbacks. What are the drawbacks exactly? I mean,
- 15:31Speaker 1: this is barbarism, barberism. In the summer of twenty twenty two,
- 15:37Speaker 1: sixty one thousand Europeans died as a result of heat
- 15:44Speaker 1: in America.
- 15:46Speaker 3: It's I'm just looking at this. I mean, it's a
- 15:51Speaker 3: fraction of that. It is a fraction of that. It's
- 15:58Speaker 3: absolutely insane. H. And again, we're not talking.
- 16:03Speaker 1: About a third world poor We're not talking about third
- 16:08Speaker 1: world poor countries. We're talking about relatively wealthy countries. We're
- 16:14Speaker 1: talking about countries that are consider themselves advanced, or put
- 16:18Speaker 1: it this way, we're talking about countries that consider themselves civilized.
- 16:22Speaker 1: I don't consider not using a c in a heat
- 16:25Speaker 1: wave when you can afford it civilized. It's clearly uncivilized.
- 16:33Speaker 1: Uh and uh and and primitive and barbaric and absurd. H. Anyway,
- 16:42Speaker 1: but this is dogma in you. This is so he
- 16:46Speaker 1: is from the UK. Uh. This is uh from uh
- 16:51Speaker 1: from the telegraph. A residence this is in the UK
- 16:55Speaker 1: was ordered to remove three eight content units from their
- 16:58Speaker 1: property despite applying with all planning requirements. Camden Council Planning
- 17:03Speaker 1: inspectors made particular note of the absence of ceiling fans
- 17:07Speaker 1: in their home, even though it was not listed as
- 17:10Speaker 1: a requirement. Despite inspectors finding that they were neither intrusive
- 17:15Speaker 1: nor harmful to the character of the local area, the
- 17:18Speaker 1: resident was told to rip out the AC units. They
- 17:22Speaker 1: were eventually allowed to keep the acon on appeal to
- 17:26Speaker 1: the Planning Inspectorate in spite of the council's strict climate tests,
- 17:32Speaker 1: by demonstrating that the property already had numerous eco upwards
- 17:36Speaker 1: such as solar panage. Akon engineers total telegraph that they
- 17:41Speaker 1: had been called out to remove perfectly operational units worth
- 17:46Speaker 1: thousands of pounds across Europe, across the London. Now, why
- 17:51Speaker 1: is this? What is cause ituen? Well, it's it's basically
- 17:57Speaker 1: the fundamentally anti human car of the whole environmental movement.
- 18:04Speaker 1: I mean this is an another example there. What the
- 18:09Speaker 1: environmental movement is not about improving human health, It's not
- 18:13Speaker 1: about improving human life, It's not about improving the human environment.
- 18:20Speaker 1: What improves the human environment more than air conditioning. Air conditioning,
- 18:26Speaker 1: you know, in many human environments is crucial to the
- 18:30Speaker 1: human environment. It makes life possible, it makes thinking possible,
- 18:35Speaker 1: it makes living possible, and it saves tens of thousands
- 18:39Speaker 1: of lives. No, the environmental movement's whole ideology is fundamentally
- 18:47Speaker 1: anti human. We are a plague. We as human beings
- 18:54Speaker 1: anti nature. I have every existence. We are destructive to
- 19:01Speaker 1: the natural environment and that they cannot tolerate and therefore improving,
- 19:08Speaker 1: you know, doing anything to improve convenience is found about
- 19:16Speaker 1: human convenience is something that is easy to shun to
- 19:21Speaker 1: put aside. It's not a value. The value is pristine nature,
- 19:26Speaker 1: pristine meaning free of human intervention. Climate change of course,
- 19:32Speaker 1: also like environmentalism has become a religion, climate change trumps
- 19:40Speaker 1: human life. Now. You know what if how many people
- 19:47Speaker 1: do we have to kill in order for there to
- 19:49Speaker 1: be climate in order to prevent I don't know, the
- 19:53Speaker 1: earth warming a little bit, how many people have to
- 19:55Speaker 1: die for that? Oh? I mean in Europe it turns
- 19:59Speaker 1: out tens of thousands of heat, in Africa millions for
- 20:04Speaker 1: lack of energy, cheap energy. It really the anti human
- 20:12Speaker 1: the anti life nature of the of the you know,
- 20:17Speaker 1: climate change advocates of the net zero whatever carbon footprint stuff.
- 20:24Speaker 1: These people are anti human life. Uh and no, so yeah,
- 20:34Speaker 1: I mean a conditioning uses electricity. It's power hungry that
- 20:39Speaker 1: I guess, you know, it contributes the climate change. So
- 20:43Speaker 1: suffer in heat for the sake of I don't know,
- 20:50Speaker 1: you know, the little bit that your ac might contribute to,
- 20:55Speaker 1: you know, the temperature getting a little warm over the
- 20:57Speaker 1: next one hundred years. So suffer God I sacrifice yourself
- 21:02Speaker 1: for the sake of future generations. But future generations will
- 21:07Speaker 1: have even better a see, and they'll have technology that
- 21:11Speaker 1: we can't even imagine today to mitigate whatever costs climate
- 21:15Speaker 1: change might inflict on them. It's just I mean, and
- 21:21Speaker 1: it's also look, it's just a very Christian right, the
- 21:26Speaker 1: demand for people to sacrifice for greater cause, the demand
- 21:30Speaker 1: to sacrifice the comfort, their ability to think, the ability
- 21:35Speaker 1: to function, and of course their life in some cases,
- 21:39Speaker 1: for the sake of some higher cause net zero the environment.
- 21:43Speaker 1: Climate change, which is an abstraction. Climate always changes. People
- 21:53Speaker 1: love apocalyptic stories. They have since the beginning of time.
- 21:57Speaker 1: The apocalypse is just around the corner, and they love
- 22:02Speaker 1: to sacrifice other people for the sake of somehow preventing
- 22:05Speaker 1: their popeats. It's human sacrifice all over again. I mean
- 22:09Speaker 1: air conditioning. This is pure human sacrifice. There's no reason
- 22:14Speaker 1: not to get AC. There's no reason not to use AC.
- 22:19Speaker 1: You know, if it's true that climate change is happening,
- 22:21Speaker 1: AC becomes a requirement. All these governments should be encouraging
- 22:25Speaker 1: the people to install AC if they truly believe in
- 22:28Speaker 1: climate change. Climate change is going to make the world warmer,
- 22:31Speaker 1: and it probably is then by ac that's the solution.
- 22:37Speaker 1: I remember George Riesman, the economist who wrote that thick
- 22:42Speaker 1: book on capitalism. Remember in nineteen I still give a talk.
- 22:46Speaker 1: I think it was nineteen ninety two, ninety one, ninety two.
- 22:49Speaker 1: This is very early in the global warming, climate change
- 22:53Speaker 1: environmental thing. And he gave a talk anti against the
- 22:57Speaker 1: environmentalist movement at the University of Texas and in the
- 23:01Speaker 1: audience and people demonstrating and people freaking out, and somebody
- 23:04Speaker 1: asked them about climate change, and he said, he said,
- 23:07Speaker 1: without wavering, he said, the solution of climate change, a
- 23:10Speaker 1: solution of In those days, it was the climate global warming,
- 23:13Speaker 1: the solution of global woman. It was more acy, more airconditioning.
- 23:17Speaker 1: And he's absolutely right. Let's improve. Let's use technology to
- 23:24Speaker 1: make human life bearable whatever the climate happens to be outside.
- 23:29Speaker 1: I mean, people live in very very cold climates, people
- 23:33Speaker 1: live in very very hot climates, and they figure out
- 23:36Speaker 1: they use technology. And by the way, technology can mean
- 23:40Speaker 1: building a hut. Technology can mean building a home, you know,
- 23:44Speaker 1: with a fireplace. That's technology. That nature doesn't provide a fireplace,
- 23:49Speaker 1: that's technology, that's tick. It's just very primitive tech. But
- 23:53Speaker 1: it's tech, and it was not primitive tech. It was
- 23:56Speaker 1: very advanced tech. It's what made it possible for human
- 23:59Speaker 1: beings to live in holds, the kind of tech that
- 24:02Speaker 1: involved controlling a fire in a in a particular place
- 24:06Speaker 1: and building a home where the heat would spread through
- 24:11Speaker 1: the home make it livable. An ac is exactly the
- 24:15Speaker 1: same to comet. It is such a I mean, Europeans
- 24:21Speaker 1: are so blind, you know, they they blind themselves. They
- 24:24Speaker 1: evade the reality that is around them. And the ignoble
- 24:29Speaker 1: they make noble, the sacrifices and the suffering. We're tough
- 24:34Speaker 1: with Uropeans. We suffer in the summer. This is the attitude.
- 24:40Speaker 1: Here's the attitude of Lee Kwan Yu. Leakan U of course,
- 24:44Speaker 1: was the founder of Singapore, of modern Singapore, and he's
- 24:49Speaker 1: the one who made Singapore, really helped make it, at
- 24:52Speaker 1: least as much as a politician can created the political
- 24:56Speaker 1: environment in which Singapore could become rich rich. This is
- 25:00Speaker 1: what he said, quote A conditioning was a most important
- 25:06Speaker 1: invention for us. The first thing I did upon becoming
- 25:10Speaker 1: Prime Minister was to install A conditioners in buildings where
- 25:15Speaker 1: the civil service worked. This was key to public efficiency. Yeah,
- 25:22Speaker 1: people work better when they're in a conditioned officers. They
- 25:28Speaker 1: provide better customer service when they're in air conditioned officers.
- 25:34Speaker 1: And it tell us the public a conditioning good. Get
- 25:38Speaker 1: some save yourself, don't suffer. You can't build a healthy, productive,
- 25:44Speaker 1: good culture and economy and society on the basis of suffering,
- 25:50Speaker 1: on the basis of sacrifice. But that's what Europe doing.
- 25:55Speaker 1: I guess none of us should be surprised. It is
- 25:59Speaker 1: Europe after all. Uh, And yeah, M, I mean this
- 26:06Speaker 1: is the the effect of the effect of philosophy. Uh,
- 26:12Speaker 1: this is uh, this is the the effect of a
- 26:17Speaker 1: philosophy of sacrifice, of the acceptance of sacrifice, the ennobling
- 26:23Speaker 1: again of nature, devoid of man. Uh, the elevation of
- 26:31Speaker 1: the degradation of anything man made is somehow bad and
- 26:36Speaker 1: evil and not natural. You know, human beings made it.
- 26:40Speaker 1: It's not natural. Air conditioning is not natural. It's downright evil,
- 26:46Speaker 1: that whole attitude. All right, m let's turn to the
- 26:58Speaker 1: topic of Iran. So you know, last we talked was
- 27:05Speaker 1: Friday last week, and you know, a lot has happened,
- 27:07Speaker 1: but in a sense nothing has happened. A lot has
- 27:10Speaker 1: happened in the sense that jdvents continue to capitulate to
- 27:17Speaker 1: the Iranians, continue to lie about what was achieved at
- 27:21Speaker 1: Geneva Nuclear inspectors, what are ran and inspected nuclear sites?
- 27:26Speaker 1: And the Ranians said no, he didn't agree to that,
- 27:30Speaker 1: They're not coming here, and on and on JD events.
- 27:35Speaker 1: Supposedly it was proud of the fact that now Scentcom
- 27:39Speaker 1: and IRGC have a direct line of communication. Really, how
- 27:45Speaker 1: insane and stupid is that? And then he was really
- 27:48Speaker 1: proud of the fact that the UEE is not talking
- 27:50Speaker 1: to the Ranians directly about security rangers. So JD Evans
- 27:56Speaker 1: thinks it's a good thing than an American ally, who
- 28:01Speaker 1: viewed Iran until very recently as an enemy, has not
- 28:06Speaker 1: given up on its ally America and therefore turning to
- 28:09Speaker 1: Iran without any options because to negotiate with them it
- 28:14Speaker 1: is I mean, the degree of capitulation, the degree of
- 28:21Speaker 1: surrender is even greater than what I expected when what
- 28:27Speaker 1: we talked about last week. So it's just getting worse.
- 28:30Speaker 1: Nothing about the Iranian situation is getting better. Trump, I
- 28:38Speaker 1: guess over the weekend or last earlier in the week,
- 28:42Speaker 1: said something like, well, yes, Iran's going to get all
- 28:45Speaker 1: these unfrozen assets. They're going to get all this money,
- 28:48Speaker 1: but they're going to use it to buy American goods.
- 28:52Speaker 1: And today the Ranians said, we're not going to do that.
- 28:56Speaker 1: We're not We're going to use you all this money
- 28:59Speaker 1: to by us stuff. Why would we buy us stuff?
- 29:03Speaker 1: I mean, Trump has this fixation and this obsession about
- 29:07Speaker 1: if people buy stuff from the US, that's an end,
- 29:11Speaker 1: a good in and of itself, and an end in
- 29:13Speaker 1: itself reduced to trade deficit. Of course, trade deficits is
- 29:17Speaker 1: about evil thing and word according to Trump. But Trump
- 29:24Speaker 1: Ambassatt said that, you know, unfreezing Uranian assets is going
- 29:32Speaker 1: to be a boon to US farmers. They're worried about farmers.
- 29:37Speaker 1: They need them to come out and vote in the
- 29:39Speaker 1: midterm election. And so they're pretending that Iran is sometheningly
- 29:43Speaker 1: going to buy food from the US. I mean, the
- 29:46Speaker 1: probability is that zero. They hate America, they despise America.
- 29:50Speaker 1: They view America as a great satan. They haven't changed
- 29:55Speaker 1: one iota. And Trump just lived. I don't know, I
- 30:02Speaker 1: don't know if he believes his own lies or not.
- 30:06Speaker 1: You know, this is a moderate regime there's nothing moderate
- 30:09Speaker 1: about the people running around. Nothing er resilk. So yeah,
- 30:15Speaker 1: So supposedly the Ranians are going to buy American food products.
- 30:20Speaker 1: The Ranians are saying, we're not doing that. We're not
- 30:24Speaker 1: buying any American products.
- 30:28Speaker 4: Just a couple of I think a couple of hours ago,
- 30:30Speaker 4: just earlier today, the states of homes, of course are
- 30:33Speaker 4: supposed to be open, that's part of the ceasefire deal,
- 30:37Speaker 4: and all places are tumbled and really gone down a
- 30:41Speaker 4: lot because the expectation is that the world is not
- 30:45Speaker 4: going to be flooded with oil.
- 30:47Speaker 1: We'll talk about that in a minute, but anyway, just
- 30:50Speaker 1: a couple of hours ago, yeah, about four hours ago,
- 30:55Speaker 1: the reports came out that a ship traveling out of
- 30:59Speaker 1: the States Formos along the Omani coast right away from
- 31:04Speaker 1: Yan was attacked by the Ranians. And the Ranians are
- 31:10Speaker 1: basically said, the only way out of the of the
- 31:16Speaker 1: Homo straight is through our route. It's through the Iranian route,
- 31:20Speaker 1: and if you try to use the American route Omani route,
- 31:23Speaker 1: we'll attack you. It's closed. The straits are closed. And
- 31:31Speaker 1: you know this is clear. The IRGC views the station
- 31:34Speaker 1: Foremos as the number one strategic asset. They also have
- 31:39Speaker 1: Barbel Mandeb, which is in the Red Sea UTIs control.
- 31:44Speaker 1: These are their strategic assets now and they are quite
- 31:50Speaker 1: you know, they're gonna charge money foot there's no question
- 31:53Speaker 1: about that. And they are going to squeeze the world.
- 32:00Speaker 1: They're gonna squeeze the Gulf States. And they don't care
- 32:04Speaker 1: about the deal with America. They do not believe the
- 32:08Speaker 1: Trump will resume fighting. They do not believe he is
- 32:13Speaker 1: committed to defeating them. They do not believe he is
- 32:17Speaker 1: the political capital to engage in battle. And therefore they
- 32:22Speaker 1: are going to ignore the United States completely from now on.
- 32:27Speaker 1: They're going to run things the way they want to runner.
- 32:33Speaker 1: And uh, you know, and they are preparing for the
- 32:39Speaker 1: day when the negotiations collapse. And on that day they
- 32:46Speaker 1: were closed Homo Straits and maybe close the Red Sea,
- 32:50Speaker 1: and they were fighting out and what does JD. Vans do?
- 32:55Speaker 1: He licks the boots of the venions. And you know,
- 33:00Speaker 1: Trump in advanced just one humiliation after another humiliation after
- 33:05Speaker 1: another humiliation, and it keeps going on. It really is stunning.
- 33:12Speaker 1: I mean, Trump was upset with Republicans because they voted
- 33:17Speaker 1: that he cannot continue the war without getting approval from Congress,
- 33:21Speaker 1: he went to the Senate. I suppose he had this
- 33:24Speaker 1: shouting match with Center ca Caassidy over the Iran War.
- 33:29Speaker 1: So the Republicans went bank at the session and they
- 33:33Speaker 1: revoted on the Authorization Act, and this time they voted
- 33:37Speaker 1: it down, so he doesn't have to ask permission from
- 33:40Speaker 1: Congress to continue the war th run because Cassidy got
- 33:43Speaker 1: a briefing from wit Cough, I think, and why the
- 33:51Speaker 1: Republicans appeasing Trump. They're appeasing Trump because they're afraid the
- 33:56Speaker 1: Trump will block all their efforts to try to buy
- 34:01Speaker 1: votes for the midterm elections, so they're appeasing Trump to
- 34:05Speaker 1: try to get him. You know, there's this housing bill
- 34:08Speaker 1: that went through that It has some potions that are
- 34:11Speaker 1: pretty good. It reduces in populations when it comes to housing.
- 34:14Speaker 1: It was passed by huge majorities bipartisans, Repulicans and Democrats.
- 34:19Speaker 1: It also has the ridiculous and you model and should
- 34:23Speaker 1: be unconstitutional provision that says that our private equity films
- 34:27Speaker 1: can't buy more than the next number of homes. So
- 34:31Speaker 1: we've talked about that, but it has that provision engine
- 34:33Speaker 1: as well. In the past, the Senate, the past, the House,
- 34:36Speaker 1: and by overwhelming big majorities. This is, of course a
- 34:39Speaker 1: bill that Trump was trumpeting for a long time. And
- 34:42Speaker 1: now Trump says, I'm not signing that until you pass
- 34:47Speaker 1: the Safe America Bill, which is about you know, a
- 34:50Speaker 1: voter ID. So you know, Republicans is to fraide that
- 34:55Speaker 1: Trump's going to shut anything any attempt they make, because
- 34:58Speaker 1: this bill is explicitly targeted towards the quote affordability crisis
- 35:03Speaker 1: in an attempt so that the Republicans could go out
- 35:05Speaker 1: and say, look, we're doing something, we're trying, we're trying
- 35:08Speaker 1: to you know, we're just real estate prices and so
- 35:14Speaker 1: that don't vote for those Democrats so for us, and
- 35:17Speaker 1: Trump is standing in their way. So the only thing
- 35:21Speaker 1: Trump needs to care about really is this vote in
- 35:24Speaker 1: America bill. And I think the reason he cares about
- 35:26Speaker 1: that is he wants to do what the only thing
- 35:29Speaker 1: he cares about is, you know, finding ways to manipulate
- 35:33Speaker 1: the electoral system in a way that benefits the benefits.
- 35:39Speaker 1: And you know he is, yeah, Iran doesn't interest him,
- 35:46Speaker 1: justice doesn't interesting, housing costs don't interest him, or not
- 35:53Speaker 1: that I think this bill is going to do a
- 35:54Speaker 1: lot of housing costs. I mean housing cost of primilily
- 35:56Speaker 1: determined by local regulations. But you know, that's the hype.
- 36:00Speaker 1: The hype is that this will make a difference. None
- 36:02Speaker 1: of them interested. The only thing that interest him is
- 36:05Speaker 1: basically ration and trying to be trying to justify his
- 36:12Speaker 1: twenty twenty claim about winning them. In the meantime, on
- 36:20Speaker 1: the Democratic side, the Socialists are coming, they really are.
- 36:25Speaker 1: They're coming in a stunning, you know result earlier this week,
- 36:34Speaker 1: the far left of the Democratic Party, not even the
- 36:41Speaker 1: Democratic Party, this is what is the Democratic Socialist Party.
- 36:46Speaker 1: The Socialists, the Socialist Party of America, you know, basically
- 36:54Speaker 1: swept or did phenomenally well in elections in New York City.
- 36:59Speaker 1: All the candidates supported by mamdannie one and we're talking
- 37:05Speaker 1: about real radicals. Really not cases yet. In one case
- 37:10Speaker 1: represented Adriano Espaliant Spayet was beaten. He is represented. Andreopis
- 37:20Speaker 1: was a Democratic incumbent. He represented New York's thirteenth congressional
- 37:24Speaker 1: district for nearly a decade and he was beating beaten
- 37:29Speaker 1: by by uh see, if I can pronounce her name,
- 37:34Speaker 1: Daria Lisa Avilla Avilla Chevalier, who is a converted Muslim.
- 37:44Speaker 1: She wasn't born in Muslim she converted to Islam uh
- 37:47Speaker 1: and she won by two thousand votes. She was endorsed
- 37:51Speaker 1: by Mamdani. She is a she is a member of
- 37:57Speaker 1: the Democratic Socialist of America and she was adored them.
- 38:01Speaker 1: And these people are taking over the Democratic Party. So
- 38:06Speaker 1: good luck to the moderates, the yes in my backyard Democrats.
- 38:11Speaker 1: All of these things, I mean, she is nuts. So
- 38:15Speaker 1: just a few examples of a Villa Chevalier's positions. She's
- 38:21Speaker 1: called for the abolition of police, prisoners, and borders. So
- 38:27Speaker 1: a real uh, you know, leftist anarchist who you know,
- 38:34Speaker 1: we've talked about kind of the roots in this way
- 38:36Speaker 1: back we talked about the roots of this attitude. And
- 38:39Speaker 1: so she clarified her position on defunding the police by
- 38:43Speaker 1: writing that her version means ending policing, full stop, period,
- 38:48Speaker 1: no more police at all. Ever, So it's not about
- 38:51Speaker 1: reducing the police budget. It's not about having fewer police.
- 38:55Speaker 1: It's not about maybe calling them something else. It's no
- 38:58Speaker 1: more policing. And this goes back. You know, we talked
- 39:03Speaker 1: about this during twenty twenty, during the riots in twenty twenty,
- 39:07Speaker 1: the whole defunding the police is out of rousseau. We
- 39:10Speaker 1: so believe that civilization caused crime, that the institutions of
- 39:16Speaker 1: civilization are what led to crime. In a natural state,
- 39:21Speaker 1: where there is no civilizing institutions and there's no police
- 39:25Speaker 1: and there's no judicial system, then there's no crime. We
- 39:28Speaker 1: live happy, wonderful, naked in the woods lives. And defunding
- 39:35Speaker 1: the police is the belief that it's the police that
- 39:38Speaker 1: lead the criminals to be criminals. Without the police, there
- 39:41Speaker 1: would be no crime because everybody would have turned to
- 39:43Speaker 1: be noble savages. It's just a sick, bizarre, you know,
- 39:53Speaker 1: the opposite of the truth. I mean, just just think
- 39:55Speaker 1: about better Angels by Nature by Stephen Pinker, and the
- 39:59Speaker 1: very fact that the one pattern in human history, one
- 40:06Speaker 1: pattern that is real in human history is the massive
- 40:10Speaker 1: decline of violence with the rise of civilization, and the
- 40:14Speaker 1: most civilized the lower levels of violence. So it works
- 40:20Speaker 1: exactly the opposite. She retweeted a post saying, quote yes
- 40:29Speaker 1: literally abolished the border and quote all deportation is long.
- 40:34Speaker 1: She called the United States a fucking disgrace for the
- 40:39Speaker 1: US as an occupied Native as occupied Native American American land,
- 40:46Speaker 1: and joked about wiping her dirty hands in the American flag.
- 40:51Speaker 1: She wrote favorably about communism, wrote, sees the means of production,
- 40:56Speaker 1: So she's a communist. Never mind the well of one
- 41:00Speaker 1: hundred million people that have been documented killed, murdered by communism,
- 41:05Speaker 1: She's still a communist. Seized the means of production. She
- 41:09Speaker 1: called for nationalizing utilities from suting her companies and seizing
- 41:13Speaker 1: all properties for landlords, so nationalizing all, you know, multi
- 41:18Speaker 1: family units, and wrote the quote that hiromania associated with
- 41:25Speaker 1: anarchism is very intriguing to burn it all down, like
- 41:31Speaker 1: I think most modern communists, she is a nihilist. She
- 41:35Speaker 1: wants to see it burn, she wants to rip it apart.
- 41:39Speaker 1: It's not about building or creating. These people are much
- 41:41Speaker 1: worse than Marks. Marks. At least again had a positive
- 41:45Speaker 1: vision for humanity of faith, false, you know, delusional vision
- 41:52Speaker 1: for humanity. At least it was a positive vision for humanity.
- 41:55Speaker 1: He believed that increased production, you believe greater wealth. Creason.
- 42:01Speaker 1: She called Joe Biden a rapist and awoke from him
- 42:05Speaker 1: and said she wouldn't vote for him, and said fuck
- 42:07Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, and criticized Bernie Sanders an RCI for being
- 42:12Speaker 1: pro Israel. Bernie Sanders in EOC pro Israel, you can
- 42:16Speaker 1: imagine where she is on Israel. She retweeated a post
- 42:21Speaker 1: saying Israel doesn't exist. That's where she is. She wrote
- 42:26Speaker 1: the black and Arab men quote fetishized, ugly colonizer women.
- 42:31Speaker 1: So she's a racist on top. And it's interesting who
- 42:37Speaker 1: voted for him? Right, who voted for him? She lost
- 42:46Speaker 1: those parts of the thirteenth district that are black and
- 42:51Speaker 1: Hispanic and lower income, So she lost black, Hispanic and
- 42:56Speaker 1: lower income areas by ten points. She won young voters,
- 43:03Speaker 1: higher income voters, wealthy voters, and majority college educated areas
- 43:08Speaker 1: by twenty points. You know, at the end of the day,
- 43:14Speaker 1: the Democratic Socialists of America, it's a movement of young,
- 43:20Speaker 1: you know, wealthy, good jobs, college educated, and it's it's
- 43:31Speaker 1: like all socialist movements in the end, where do they fail.
- 43:34Speaker 1: They fail with the working class. They fail with the
- 43:37Speaker 1: working class, working classes through them. You need to be
- 43:41Speaker 1: educated in the modern educational institution to buy into the
- 43:46Speaker 1: socialist agenda. People are uneducated, uncorrupted by modern education, see
- 43:53Speaker 1: right through it and won't vote for it. It's so yes,
- 43:59Speaker 1: I mean, here the options we've got I mean, it's
- 44:03Speaker 1: it's stunning kind of the options we have. MAGA on
- 44:09Speaker 1: the Republican side, and maybe the Republicans get better. Maybe
- 44:13Speaker 1: the backlash against Trump and maybe particularly the Iran Deal,
- 44:16Speaker 1: which is very unpopular among the Republicans. Maybe the backlash
- 44:20Speaker 1: against Trump will make Publican party better, but maybe not.
- 44:27Speaker 1: Maybe we get Jadvans on Stewards, and the Democratic Party
- 44:31Speaker 1: is going is becoming the Democratic Socialists of America Party,
- 44:36Speaker 1: which is you can't vote for those people. You just
- 44:38Speaker 1: can't vote for those people. So options are becoming absurd,
- 44:47Speaker 1: and it really is time for somebody to think about
- 44:50Speaker 1: a third party, the third party that captures the sane
- 44:54Speaker 1: center right, center left votes. I think as the majority
- 44:58Speaker 1: of Americans, the majority of Americans, I'm that wacky leftist.
- 45:01Speaker 1: A majority of Americans are not MAGA. A majority of
- 45:05Speaker 1: Americans are not national or Christian Conservatives or nationalists. The
- 45:09Speaker 1: majority of Americans love the Founders, have a vague sense
- 45:13Speaker 1: that freedom is good, that the Founders are good, that
- 45:17Speaker 1: the economics of freedom are good, the racism is bad.
- 45:23Speaker 1: They have you know that none of these things are
- 45:26Speaker 1: completely clear in their minds, but they have this vague
- 45:28Speaker 1: sense there are some way in the American center rights centerment,
- 45:33Speaker 1: and somebody needs to figure out how to capture their vote,
- 45:36Speaker 1: capitalize on that being where the majority of Americans are.
- 45:41Speaker 1: If you leave it to the people who vote in primaries,
- 45:44Speaker 1: we will only get nutty on the right and nonety
- 45:46Speaker 1: on the left. And that's what we're getting. We're getting
- 45:48Speaker 1: completely not cases on the left and the right. Let's
- 46:04Speaker 1: see going on here, all right. A couple of have
- 46:19Speaker 1: been court decisions today Thursday today regarding regarding asylum asylum seekers. Basically,
- 46:31Speaker 1: the Court and a six three two six three decisions
- 46:35Speaker 1: basically ruled for the Trump administration, giving them the ability
- 46:39Speaker 1: to basically change the status of Haitian and Syrian asylum
- 46:44Speaker 1: seekers who are flaeing violence and natural disaster, and basically
- 46:50Speaker 1: allowing the Trump administration to deport hundreds of thousands of
- 46:57Speaker 1: people from Haiti and Syria who came here under legal
- 47:01Speaker 1: protection assuming they get asylum. And the Court basically rule
- 47:07Speaker 1: that it is within the prerogative of the executive to
- 47:10Speaker 1: determine the standards of asylum. And I think they're right.
- 47:13Speaker 1: I think the whole asylum system is broken and doesn't
- 47:16Speaker 1: make any sense. The whole immigration system. As you know,
- 47:19Speaker 1: I think the whole immigration system is broken and doesn't
- 47:22Speaker 1: make any sense. The sixty decision overturned the lower court
- 47:27Speaker 1: order and allows the Department of Homeland Security to swiftly
- 47:31Speaker 1: and temporary protected status right now. That temperate protective status
- 47:36Speaker 1: protects a total one point three million people from seventeen countries.
- 47:43Speaker 1: So generally, i'd say the courts, the Seprene Court has
- 47:48Speaker 1: been favorable to Trump on immigration, so it is granted
- 47:53Speaker 1: Trump vast powers in immigration. And I think, again, this
- 47:57Speaker 1: is probably consistent with laws. I don't think this is
- 48:03Speaker 1: This is job for voters in Congress, you know, to
- 48:06Speaker 1: to reign in the executive. It's a job of Congress
- 48:09Speaker 1: to clarify immigration law and to maybe change immigration law
- 48:14Speaker 1: to make it more rational. As long as Congress doesn't
- 48:17Speaker 1: do its job, I think what's going to happen as
- 48:19Speaker 1: an executive, whether it's a Democrat or Republican, are just
- 48:22Speaker 1: going to do whatever the hell they want. I think
- 48:24Speaker 1: Biden did that, and I think now Trump is doing that. Yeah,
- 48:29Speaker 1: so they're taking away a lot of kind of the
- 48:33Speaker 1: the the ability of people to come to this country
- 48:36Speaker 1: by claiming a silent and h Yeah, and you know,
- 48:51Speaker 1: there are arguments that said that the keecking out the
- 48:54Speaker 1: Haitians was based on racism, and that was based on
- 48:56Speaker 1: comments and Trump and events and had made about Haitians.
- 48:59Speaker 1: And the court dismissed that and said that, you know,
- 49:03Speaker 1: there was insufficient evidence to show the determination of Haites designation.
- 49:08Speaker 1: Haitian's designation was based on the race of the Haitian people. Anyway,
- 49:18Speaker 1: the three liberal judges objected, but you know, basically Trump
- 49:24Speaker 1: got his way got his way on this one. There
- 49:28Speaker 1: was also another another one that affected assilent policies. There
- 49:33Speaker 1: was a policy under the bids under at some point
- 49:38Speaker 1: where where I think the first Trump administration where you
- 49:41Speaker 1: can just turn people around at the border who came
- 49:43Speaker 1: to seek asylum, you can just send them immediately back.
- 49:46Speaker 1: And even though that's not in place right now, the
- 49:51Speaker 1: Supreme Court said that that would be constitutional if that
- 49:54Speaker 1: was chosen to do again, these are details of a
- 49:56Speaker 1: silent law. That whole thing needs to be scrapped and need.
- 50:00Speaker 1: What we need is a return to not a return
- 50:03Speaker 1: to a and you regime and you uh use system
- 50:12Speaker 1: for legal migments, you know, to legalize immigration, increase in
- 50:18Speaker 1: legalized mimigration, but that's not going to happen for a
- 50:21Speaker 1: long long time. I mean, immigration is such a divisive
- 50:26Speaker 1: issue that I can't see any president or Congress uh
- 50:32Speaker 1: voting in a more rational, more rational system. All right,
- 50:38Speaker 1: let's see what let me just see what other st
- 50:41Speaker 1: we used to have. It is interesting that right now
- 50:46Speaker 1: the system is the oil market is flush with oil.
- 50:53Speaker 1: I mean, as I told you, the market adapted to
- 50:56Speaker 1: the closure of the states of Homoes. Now It's also
- 50:59Speaker 1: true that there's being releases from the strategic inventory releases
- 51:03Speaker 1: which I think the United States and the rest of
- 51:05Speaker 1: the world other countries don't like to stop doing. But
- 51:12Speaker 1: the fact is now the Homo states are partially open.
- 51:16Speaker 1: Oil was flowing around the Straits through the Saudi pipeline
- 51:19Speaker 1: and the UAE pipeline. China had reduced its consumption of
- 51:23Speaker 1: oil dramatically, and prices never got that high as a consequence,
- 51:28Speaker 1: never got as high as people warned that they would go.
- 51:32Speaker 1: And now prices are just plummeting, and in some cases
- 51:38Speaker 1: they're going for big discounts. And you know, to a
- 51:42Speaker 1: large extent, that just proves that Trump's hold is scary
- 51:46Speaker 1: about cub economy. Is going to go into depression, and
- 51:50Speaker 1: I saved you the world from the depression. It's just
- 51:53Speaker 1: it's just the usual Trump bs. He's making stuff up. Indeed,
- 51:59Speaker 1: the world right now as a wash with supply of
- 52:02Speaker 1: oil and with the Iranian or flowing again. The Homos states,
- 52:07Speaker 1: if it's open, we don't know because the range just
- 52:09Speaker 1: attack the ship. But if it's open, you're going to
- 52:12Speaker 1: see or prices plummet, and we'll see what kind of
- 52:16Speaker 1: impact that has on prices. Again, all was always a
- 52:20Speaker 1: relative price. It wasn't inflation as overwhelming prices going up.
- 52:26Speaker 1: There's a story now. The story is that a data
- 52:29Speaker 1: centers are causing inflation because demand for computing is causing
- 52:33Speaker 1: the price of computers to go up. That might be true,
- 52:36Speaker 1: it might be a segment of economy where prices go up,
- 52:38Speaker 1: but that just means since we don't have any more
- 52:40Speaker 1: money than we did before, we're going to bid prices
- 52:43Speaker 1: of other products down in order to compensate for So overall,
- 52:48Speaker 1: inflation doesn't go up because a particular sector is challenged
- 52:53Speaker 1: and prices going up in that particularity. That it's just
- 52:56Speaker 1: a force economic idea. Let's see what else we have
- 53:05Speaker 1: we about that and that. Yeah, okay, I mean I
- 53:14Speaker 1: think I think we're good for today. So that is
- 53:18Speaker 1: the news. But today Thursday, June twenty fifth, again uh
- 53:25Speaker 1: not as much, not as much as as as usual
- 53:38Speaker 1: and not who we don't have the human achievement section.
- 53:44Speaker 1: But I will get back to it, I promise once
- 53:47Speaker 1: once that more time to put these together, all right,
- 53:56Speaker 1: he is he has a funny story which is kind
- 53:59Speaker 1: of positive. Okay, I'll read this theme. The city of
- 54:02Speaker 1: Bergen noy is Bergen Binterbergen, noway, it's a beautiful, beautiful
- 54:06Speaker 1: city in north of well not really north, what is
- 54:11Speaker 1: it west nouy. The city of Bergen nowy shook on
- 54:17Speaker 1: the night of June twenty second, twenty third, not because
- 54:21Speaker 1: there was an earthquake on an unknown geographical geological phenomena,
- 54:27Speaker 1: but because the Norwegian national teams scored a goal during
- 54:32Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six World Cup. The cures phenomena was
- 54:36Speaker 1: reported by a team of researchers from the University of
- 54:39Speaker 1: Bergen found the fans celebrations produced vibrations in the ground
- 54:47Speaker 1: so intense that they can be detected even by a
- 54:51Speaker 1: highly sensitive scientific instruments like seis seisse mometers. Generally, physicists
- 55:00Speaker 1: use seismometers to measure movements and ground vibrations like seismic
- 55:05Speaker 1: waves generated by earthquakes. But during this year's year's World Cup,
- 55:10Speaker 1: Resa just the University of Broken have noticed that the
- 55:14Speaker 1: sise mometer they have in a basement on the campus
- 55:20Speaker 1: of the University of Bulgum record enomal anomaloust signals during
- 55:25Speaker 1: Norway's matches. Instrument, they note, is capable of detecting ground
- 55:31Speaker 1: vibrations with an accuracy of one million million meters. So
- 55:35Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. That's pretty cool. The World Cup is
- 55:41Speaker 1: pretty cool. I mean a lot of a lot of
- 55:43Speaker 1: goals being scored, which is always fun.
- 55:46Speaker 5: It's also this year in particular, the goals are all
- 55:49Speaker 5: being scored by kind of the the famous players, right,
- 55:55Speaker 5: I mean, the world recognized players are the ones scoring
- 55:59Speaker 5: the goal.
- 55:59Speaker 1: And that's I mean Messi. You know, Massi is the
- 56:02Speaker 1: best player probably who have lived. I scored the most
- 56:05Speaker 1: goals in this uh in this world a couple of
- 56:09Speaker 1: radio and he's only played two games and he's scored
- 56:10Speaker 1: already five goals. But all the other stars, even Ronaldo
- 56:15Speaker 1: got into it. Ronaldo, who doesn't usually score many goals
- 56:18Speaker 1: in the up, it's considered the second best player, or
- 56:21Speaker 1: at least of his generation. It's a generation Messi a
- 56:25Speaker 1: second best player after Messy is that generation. But even
- 56:29Speaker 1: he scored two goals. I think it was yesterday. Junior,
- 56:33Speaker 1: the Brazilian star has scored scored two goals yesterday, and
- 56:38Speaker 1: he scored in every match Brazil is played in. The
- 56:42Speaker 1: stars are rising to the occasion and that's great because
- 56:45Speaker 1: that means you're seeing the best that these national teams
- 56:49Speaker 1: have to offer. You're seeing fun front football, fun soccer.
- 56:55Speaker 1: I'm enjoying watching the games when I have a chance
- 56:57Speaker 1: to do so. And if you like soccer, this one,
- 57:05Speaker 1: y'elle is fun. I mean, there's a sense in which
- 57:08Speaker 1: they've expanded the program to have lots of lots of teams.
- 57:11Speaker 1: So they're fifty teams in the first round. But what
- 57:14Speaker 1: that does is basically provide a warm up of some
- 57:16Speaker 1: of the better teams. They scored a lot of goals,
- 57:19Speaker 1: but they're warming up and hopefully that will generate an
- 57:21Speaker 1: even better, you know, better soccer be played in the
- 57:30Speaker 1: later rounds. There's going to be around of thirty two
- 57:32Speaker 1: for the first time in a World Cup, and then
- 57:34Speaker 1: there's going to be rounds. Of of course, they the
- 57:39Speaker 1: round of sixteen, the quarterfinals, the semifinals, and in the finals.
- 57:44Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting to see to see who wins
- 57:48Speaker 1: this year. All right, let's see. Thank you guys. I

- 59:20Speaker 1: a bunch of super Chester. Let's go over. Let's these
- 59:24Speaker 1: Let's start with Noah, you on, it's your friend, mister
- 59:30Speaker 1: Chips Chipster. I have a new original song from my
- 59:35Speaker 1: objectives friends. It's called good Feeling twenty twenty six. Everyone
- 59:40Speaker 1: searched for mister trip z t e up Tripster Chripster.
- 59:46Speaker 1: So with the Z Tripster with the z a good feeling,
- 59:50Speaker 1: that's the name of the song. Thank you, sorry for
- 59:52Speaker 1: your loss. I appreciate that. Thank you, Noah. Jenny Jennifer
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: with Jenny Jennifer, so sorry to hear about your mom.
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: I'm glad you had a good relationship with a sending
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: a loss of love. I appreciate that. Then, Jennifer, thank you. Mike.
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: Do you think that Trump pressured the Senate changed its
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: vote war powers? Well, we know that he went to
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: the Senate and he harangued the Republicans or did he
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: use persuasion? Oh no, He clearly pressured them by by
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: telling them that he would not pass their agenda, whatever
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: genda they wanted, he would not let anything pass. That
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: is that, Mike says, what kind of pressure could he should?
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: He could he use. I think invoking the war powers
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: at this stage was a mistake. I think the whole
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: thing is ridiculous. The whole way this has played out
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: is ridiculous. So so yes, But but it doesn't matter.
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: It's irrelevant symbolic vote because he gets vetoed anyway. But
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: he was just upset the Republicans voted against him, so
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: he put pressure on it. No, I mean Trump doesn't
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: do persuasion. He does threatening. He does yelling threatening. I
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: suppose he was a yelling match Miraco Blue Skies, Juron's Mama,
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: Thank you, Mircole. I appreciate that, appreciate the support, Ryan.
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: I see Republicans raising the alarm about socialist reps winning seats. Yeah,
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: how can they keep a straight face? Are they evading
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: the fact they caused them more crazy left? Oh? Of
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: course they're not going to blame themselves. They're going to
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: say this is the true nature of the left, this
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: is why you have to vote for us. And there's
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: a sense in which they love the fact that the
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: left is going crazy because that increases their chances of winning.
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: They now have a somebody to go after. They don't
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: have to talk about their record. Instead, they can say
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: you really want the socialist, you really want these nuts,
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: you have to vote for a couple of Republicans. Otherwise
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: you get the Democratic Socialists of Americans at the Difficratic
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: Party anymore so, Republicans are lovingness. It's it's it's it's
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: it gives them leveraging the election. Ian it's always the
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: same assumption for environmentalness. Nothing will change except the thing.
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: The things we need are bad. These things will get
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: explanentially worse. Yes, you know, I don't know if they're
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: going to get worse. There certainly seems to be a
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: backlash against the environmentalism. You know, climate change is a
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: lot less popular right now, cerdainly in Europe than it
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: was just a few years ago. A lot of these
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: right wing political parties are not only winning because of
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: the immigration issue, a lot of them are winning because
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: of the energy and environmental issue. So you know, the
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: a FD is saying it's insane, we shut down the
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: NUGA poplines. This is crazy. Ned zero is crazy. I
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: think reform in England. In the UK, net zero is crazy.
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: That making big their left net zero and they're blaming
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: that zero for inflation. They're blaming net zero for all
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: these problems. So I think there's a huge backlash against
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: the environmentum and I actually think there's a sension which
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: things will get better, but they'll get better packaged in
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: with the rest of their agenda of than you right,
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: which is which is often horrific. So you'll get better
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: environmental policy, but worse all kinds of other policies. Ryan
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: Michadolosis for your last year, thank you. I appreciate that
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: Ryans government regulates cooperatives. I conclude that if there was
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: no incentive from government governments cooperatives, they could not innovate
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: or compete with corporations. Are cooperatives less model than corporations? No,
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: I don't think it's an issue mode. I mean they're
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: volunteer organizations. I don't think they could you know, they
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: might be circumstances in which you know that they could
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: work under under very limited conditions in small groups. Are
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: they less moral? Well, I mean you really push it, Yes,
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: I would say they're probably less mall because what a corporation,
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: what a h cooperative? Even though it's volunteer, what it's
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: doing is negating the idea of a profit motive and
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: the gaining the idea of a division of labor. And
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: what corporations are is the embrace of the division of labor,
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: embrace of the idea of professional managers, embrace the idea
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: of knowledge as driving production. And to that extent, I
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: think that embrace is more is more moral. Copetitives couldn't
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: compete with corporations. They can't compete with corporations except and
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: whether you see them competing, it's usually because the corporative
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: is not a real copetive. They're cheating, or because they're
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: getting some fatents from the government, or it's a niche
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: where the fact that the cooperative is a marketing and
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: it attracts a certain type of buyer and that gives
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: them the competitive itage, right, certain power buyer that doesn't
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: want to engage with those evil, you know, capitalist corporations.
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: No video. Why is there no video? M hmmah yeah,
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: it's very strange. H m hm hm. All right, I'm
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: trying to figure out what's going on here. Let me
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: try one more thing. Alright, let's try this. It's not it.
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: Why is it connecting? Okay? Which hmhmm No, matter which
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: camera I use, it is disconnected. I get the same
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: thing I've got two different cameras and they're producing the
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: same results. Let me just see what's going on, because
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: I need this to figure this out for other things.
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: Why would I do this? Why would it do mhm
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: h m very strange switch to that same thing. Uh,
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: I have no idea what's going on? I uh, I've
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: never had this problem before, seen live clipping. All right,
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: no idea, Let's keep keep going with the super chat
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: and and thank you Ian. All right. Author, A weak
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: man blames others for his problems. A strong man finds
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: a solution to his problems. Absolutely, absolutely, It's all about
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: finding solutions. Hop a gamboll I Maran said to never
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: trust a philosopher under the age of forty. She never
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: she didn't say that. She didn't say that, but John
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: Locke and most of the funding fathers were in their
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: twenties and thirties. They but they did this civilization changing.
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: She never said never trust a philosopher under the age
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: of She said she does didn't fully trust a philosopher
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: until he reached the age of don't exaggerate what she said.
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean I I it bugs yet it's
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: bugging me that the video is not working. And I
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: then don't have any explanation for it. It's somehow the
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: video processing in the computer is not working because neither camera,
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: even the camera on the laptop doesn't work. And that's
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: just strange. Let mean, I have to try one more thing,
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: just just to my clarity of mind. Yeah, I'm not sure.
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: I'm just curious if this other thing would work that works. Okay,
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: So it's not it's not the computer, Okay, it is uh,
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: it is restream Studio somehow is not proscessing the video.
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: Kh anybody has any ideas and what this is? Let
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: me know what is that? Mm hmm, Yeah makes no sense. Okay,
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: So what was I saying? Uh? Yeah, don't exaggerate what
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: she said and h yes, a lot of people do amazing,
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: amazing work before the age of forty. She did, right,
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: all right, Liam says Alan greens Trim just passed away.
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: I meant to do a segment in the news and
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: Alan Greensman I forgot so I meant to do that.
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: I apologize. I'll talk about it now because you're asking
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: about it. It seemed he was a secondhander who recognized
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: the FED chairs job isn't to stabilize the economy. It
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: is to use prestige, technical jogging and my numbing dultness
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: to cover for the central banks expropriation of the American people.
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: So I don't think that's how we thought of it.
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: I do think Allen Greensman was the secondhander, and I
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: think he took this job at the FED because it
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: was prestigious and he liked to hop knob with famous people.
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: And if you read his autobiography, you know that he
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: enjoyed the fact that he got to meet the President
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: of the United States on a regular basis, that he
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: sat down with the Treasury secrecy, that he was you know,
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: what do you call it? A central planner in chief
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: to a large extent of the US economy. I think
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: that really got him going. I think it excited him.
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: He had he basically abandoned his commitment to free markets
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: commanded is committed to LESLFE capitalism. He had he had
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: a relationship with when you know, he's part of the
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: circle around I ran and had a very friendly relationship
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: with him. Uh he wrote fine rand and and and
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: you know they were friends until she died. And then
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: once she died, he went all status. I mean, he
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: was part of the Social Security Commission on the Ronald
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: Reagan that said that the safety of security should raise
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: taxes and reduce benefits. And it's he could have he
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: could have advocated for privatization. He could have done a
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: lot of things. He then ran the FED. But I
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: don't think he was trying to expropriate anybody. I don't
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: think that was his goal. I think he really believed
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: in a delusional, in somewhat delusional way. He never fully
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: understood economics. He was he was a stat He was
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: much more of a data guy, a correlation guy, a
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: models guy, a statistical guy. Then he was an economist.
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: And he really thought that he could help stabilize the economy.
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: And if you think about all his actions starting with
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: the crash of nineteen eighty seven and then throughout the nineties,
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: and then you know there was Session after ninety eleven,
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: his goal was stability, stabilized economy. His goal was always
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: to provide the liquidity to get stability ultimately to avoid
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: a market shocks and big moves in markets. And he
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: created I mean, it was a disaster and I think
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: it's been ultimately was one of the main causes of
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: the Great Financial crisis in two thousand and eight nine.
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: But I think what the way he thought about it
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: was not that he was excopriating, not that he was
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: a central planner, not that he was, but that he
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: was doing the best that anybody could do that if
- 1:15:12Speaker 1: to stabilize the economy, and he was going to be
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: better than anybody else because he was a free marketer.
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: And I really believe that he used the technical joggin
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: and the mind numbing dullness and all of that. He
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: used that too. In his own mind. He believed that
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: by doing he could get away with the policies he
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: was advocating for relatively low regulation and the monitoring, possibly
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: the advocate for me without the stupidity of Congress, without
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: a lot of pressure from Congress on him. So he
- 1:15:50Speaker 1: deflected everything you know, and testified in front of Congress.
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: So he used it as a tool to cover up well,
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: to to make it impossible for in a sense, the
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: rest of us don't know exactly what he was doing,
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: but what he was doing he believed not that way,
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: but he believed was stabilizing music onomy. But he was
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: very much a secondhand, It was very much driven body.
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: How people perceived him Bryan, are these mid terms e
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: litmus tests from America? It will answer people care about
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: the actions of the worst president in history. But just
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: the tribe prediction, I think Democats will win. I don't
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: think it'll be a I think just because of the
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: way districts are now organized in America, the way they're established,
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: there's just not a lot of room for big changes
- 1:16:46Speaker 1: and how to represented because Republican states make sure that
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: most of their districts are Republican and they can't lose,
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: and Democrats are the same on the democratic side. So
- 1:16:59Speaker 1: it's the elections are less and less and less competitive
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: as they do more and more juryman ry, and they
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: get more and more sophisticated about jurymany and as the
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: country becomes more tribal. It's it's not that they're recommendate
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: on Trump. For example. You know, if if you're in
- 1:17:19Speaker 1: a district where the Democrat is a Democratic Socialist of America,
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: it's a complete nod case answer pro hamas uh defl
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: you know, eliminate the police, get rid of the police completely,
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: versus some mainstream Republican is voting for the main term Republican.
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: It thumbs up to Trump. It's not a direct measure,
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: so I don't think it's a it's a complete litmus test.
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: I do think that they will vote against Republicans because
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: of Trump, but I'm not going to condemn them for
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: because the Democrats are so bad for right. Not doing
- 1:18:00Speaker 1: any quite in as an overwhelming way as he would
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: have been would have been good if the point of
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: the election was sending a message. Sadly, elections have consequences.
- 1:18:13Speaker 1: Election of Trump had consequences, We have fump, and midterm's
- 1:18:17Speaker 1: election have consequences. We could get a bunch of nutty
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: communists in Congress, and I'm not advocating for that, just
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: to teach Trump a lesson. So yeah, we're in a
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: shitty situation in America in a sense of, Uh, either
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: way you vote, you screwed. James, Do you suspect Trump
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: will throw a violent tantrum if he loses big in
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: the midst Yes, rejecting results of elections, He'll try unleashing
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: ice like we've never seen before. I'm not sure. They
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: didn't go quite the way he wanted it to win
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: me Aneapolis, so I'm not sure, or really chicken out
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: and fade away into the desert. I think In the end,
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: he will check it out. He will try, he will protest,
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: he will question, He might use ice here and there.
- 1:19:15Speaker 1: He will have his local Lackey's question elections on a
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: local basis. There will be a lot of challenges, a
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: lot of court challenges, a lot of recounts, a lot
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: of stuff like that. But in the end, if he loses,
- 1:19:30Speaker 1: he'll he'll just he'll just give up because he is
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: a coward in there. And yeah, I don't think he's
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: quite ready for a revolution. James says. Some people's temper
- 1:19:48Speaker 1: are their worst enemies. Yeah, but tempa is usually a
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: sign of something deeper. The temper is not the enemy.
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: It's what's driving the temper that's really there. And you
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: have to find out what causes them to have such
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: a temper. That is where the real problem is. Nacha
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: aj algorithm. This is a quote from Havevier Milay quote.
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: Without capitalism, we would be condemned to the miseries of
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: plant societies, which are nothing more slave societies with much
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: better marketing. Yep, that is true, Arthur Evans. I've heard
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: objectives to argue Elon Musk is just a profiteer of
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: the mixed economy, but many other electrical companies received subsidies
- 1:20:32Speaker 1: from the government and didn't come up near as close
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: to the success of Tesla. I think that's right. I
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: think you have to recognize Elon Musk is an exceptional
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: entrepreneur and an exceptional manager and a visionary in many respects.
- 1:20:48Speaker 1: And while he did benefit from, you know, the mixed economy,
- 1:20:53Speaker 1: I have no doubt that in a in a purely
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: bleazz of the economy, he would have done phenomenally well
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: as well. And we look, we live in mixed economy.
- 1:21:01Speaker 1: That's a reality, and uh he is. He has done
- 1:21:08Speaker 1: very very well in this world. So I don't I
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: don't view that as diminishing the business success that Elon
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: Musk has had. Now, you know, it's there's a lot
- 1:21:20Speaker 1: of hype in it. I don't quite believe that stock
- 1:21:23Speaker 1: pikes of SpaceX is really reflective value. So he wouldn't
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: be quite as rich as he is now if maybe
- 1:21:30Speaker 1: space xers won't value more correctly, maybe, I you know,
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: I don't know. But he is an incredibly successful businessman
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: and he's profited. And yes, part of that profit came
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: from in the mixed economy. Well, that's the world in
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: which we live. That's the world in which all businessmen
- 1:21:48Speaker 1: make money. But it wouldn't diminish his abilities and genius
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: oh wealth because of that, Ata I think. I think
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: it's a huge mistake, Michael uh for the Blood Eye
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: to hate tech, hate individual liberty and wallow and envy.
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: Do we still have enough reason and freedom out there
- 1:22:17Speaker 1: to be successful and ignore them? Well, we can't ignore them,
- 1:22:21Speaker 1: because if we ignore them, then we let them grow
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: and influence people. We need to challenge them and call
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: them out and and make clear a view of them
- 1:22:31Speaker 1: so that they nevi gain a majority. That you know,
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: they're there, but we need to stand up against them.
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: There's no question about that. And there's still enough reason
- 1:22:43Speaker 1: of freedom out there to be able to challenge them
- 1:22:45Speaker 1: and to convince a significant number of people that they
- 1:22:49Speaker 1: are wrong, that the Blood Eye to them and prevent
- 1:22:56Speaker 1: the complete decay of the culture in which we live.
- 1:23:00Speaker 1: So no, it's not time to give up yet. Savannah's
- 1:23:05Speaker 1: best wishes to you and your family. You're on a
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: toast to your mother. Thank you. Without her, we wouldn't
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: be able to enjoy the show. Absolutely absolutely. She had me.
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: You know, my mom had me when she was very young.
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: She was twenty one years old when I was born,
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: so she she gossed away to eighty six. And yeah,
- 1:23:29Speaker 1: good for her for having me, you know, sixty five
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: years ago, so they know me and no show without her,
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: so hats Yeah, definitely, definitely a toast to her. Thank
- 1:23:43Speaker 1: you not to have a jagum. Are you sure Americans
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: have more self esteem than Europeans. I always thought the
- 1:23:51Speaker 1: narcissism and immaturity of Americans was an outgrowth through a
- 1:23:54Speaker 1: bad educational system of low self esteem. Europeans seemed much
- 1:23:58Speaker 1: more sophisticated and lesson secure. No, I don't think that's true.
- 1:24:01Speaker 1: Your means are sophisticated, and some of that is real,
- 1:24:05Speaker 1: and some of that is pseudo intellectual bullshit where where
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: they think they're sophisticated and they pretend to me but
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: there's no substance there. But I think this air conditioning
- 1:24:16Speaker 1: is a good example. No American would tolerate this nonsense.
- 1:24:20Speaker 1: I mean, you take self esteem to say, now, my life,
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: my comfort, my ability to function, and heat is a
- 1:24:28Speaker 1: part of my life. I'm I'm getting air conditioning. That
- 1:24:32Speaker 1: takes self esteem. But for Europeans to use some sophisticated pseudotelect,
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: your pretending to care about future generations, but wallowing in
- 1:24:47Speaker 1: sacrifice in their own misery and condemning air conditioning in
- 1:24:51Speaker 1: the process. That is suggestive of no self as and
- 1:24:56Speaker 1: bad culture. So there's a sense which they normal. They
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: normal geography, They no more history. They they're better educated
- 1:25:05Speaker 1: in the arts. But when it comes to actually living
- 1:25:14Speaker 1: they I don't think that they don't have pride in
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: their work, particularly in a place like France where you know,
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: the sophisticated ones, the bureaucrats, they don't pride in their work.
- 1:25:25Speaker 1: They don't pride in their own lives. They don't. They don't.
- 1:25:28Speaker 1: They don't make an effort to make their lives better.
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: They're not. They lack ambition. How can you have How
- 1:25:33Speaker 1: can a culture that lacks ambition have self esteem? Ambition
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: is a product of self esteem. You don't get ambition
- 1:25:41Speaker 1: without self esteem. So no, I don't think that's true
- 1:25:44Speaker 1: of Europeans. Americans have much more self esteem they lack.
- 1:25:49Speaker 1: Americans lacks sophistication and lack knowledge and lack worldliness, that is,
- 1:25:55Speaker 1: knowing of the world. Uh and and and you know,
- 1:25:59Speaker 1: but but I was just watching a show on on
- 1:26:03Speaker 1: the documentary on Junior the the the Brazilian soccer star
- 1:26:10Speaker 1: and how the Europeans feeded him. When when you when
- 1:26:13Speaker 1: you moved to bars Alona and started playing for Barcelona,
- 1:26:16Speaker 1: the racial attitudes. He's very dark skin Brazilian and you know,
- 1:26:21Speaker 1: the the crowds would yelled monkey, monkey, monkey, right. I mean,
- 1:26:26Speaker 1: can you imagine in Americas as racist as America has
- 1:26:29Speaker 1: been in the past. Can you imagine a black athlete
- 1:26:34Speaker 1: being yelled at by thousands of people in the stadium? Monkey,
- 1:26:37Speaker 1: monkey monkey. I mean, with all the Europeans sophistication, they
- 1:26:42Speaker 1: can be bruts and racists of the worst kind. So no,
- 1:26:48Speaker 1: I think I think Americans lack a certain maturity, but
- 1:26:55Speaker 1: Europeans could be real boots. And they certainly lack self
- 1:26:59Speaker 1: esteem and they and they lack a sense they like
- 1:27:03Speaker 1: ambition and lack of sense of kidding. Again, these are generalizations.
- 1:27:06Speaker 1: They have massive exceptions. But you know, no, I think
- 1:27:13Speaker 1: you underestimate Americans and you overestimate Europeans. Upper Campbell. As
- 1:27:18Speaker 1: awful as Trump is, is he good for AI? Would
- 1:27:22Speaker 1: Kamala or future Democrat president be more obstructive and oppressive
- 1:27:26Speaker 1: with their group? Maybe it's hard to tell I mean AI,
- 1:27:30Speaker 1: because it's such a national security issue, there would have
- 1:27:33Speaker 1: been a lot of pushback, you know, particularly if silicon
- 1:27:37Speaker 1: value is perceived or has been perceived in the pastes
- 1:27:39Speaker 1: Democratic they had a lot of influence on the Democratic Party.
- 1:27:45Speaker 1: It's hard to tell, but you know, Trump has been
- 1:27:48Speaker 1: good for AI so far, well with exception and meanthropic.
- 1:27:52Speaker 1: It's not clear that he's been good on nanthropic for AI.
- 1:27:57Speaker 1: So we'll see what the long term consequences of trump
- 1:28:00Speaker 1: AIE policies. But you know, it's how to tell what
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: a Democrat would have done, and it's how to tell
- 1:28:06Speaker 1: what Trump is still going to do. Again, the fight
- 1:28:09Speaker 1: with Andropic does not vode well for the Trump administration's
- 1:28:12Speaker 1: attitude towards the Hill. Richard, condoless for the last of
- 1:28:17Speaker 1: your mother, thank you. At least her suffering is of yes,
- 1:28:20Speaker 1: that's that's definitely the way I think about it. The
- 1:28:24Speaker 1: last year was awful. It was awful for her. She
- 1:28:28Speaker 1: clearly was suffering, and it was awful for everybody around
- 1:28:32Speaker 1: to see her suffering. And so in that sense, the
- 1:28:37Speaker 1: time was right. Michael A right. You want to like
- 1:28:43Speaker 1: who you are, you want to like what your subconscious
- 1:28:46Speaker 1: is feeding you. So few people do. Yes, but it's
- 1:28:50Speaker 1: it's too passive. You want to like, you need to
- 1:28:54Speaker 1: work in making yourself the kind of person you were, like.
- 1:28:58Speaker 1: You need to work on making it of a good
- 1:29:00Speaker 1: person and they feel like yourself. It's not about wanting.
- 1:29:03Speaker 1: It's about doing. It's about acting, it's about thinking. It's
- 1:29:06Speaker 1: about creating. So don't do it as a passive thing.
- 1:29:11Speaker 1: It should be an active thing. A lot of questions. Okay, Tessa, God,
- 1:29:18Speaker 1: I can't believe it's Uh, Tessa says YouTube won't let
- 1:29:26Speaker 1: me say what I want about the USA versus Tiki match.
- 1:29:30Speaker 1: Tonight says it is hate speech. But as we can
- 1:29:33Speaker 1: read it from the chat, you can read it from
- 1:29:35Speaker 1: the chat. Let me see if you find it, Uh,
- 1:29:41Speaker 1: was Tessa, I don't see what you wrote. I didn't
- 1:29:46Speaker 1: see the match. I don't know what what happened. I
- 1:29:51Speaker 1: take it that Took's misbehaved towards the Americans. Uh m hmm, yeah, Test,
- 1:30:07Speaker 1: I don't see it in the chat. What am I missing? Guys? Yeah,
- 1:30:19Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I'll comment on it once I know
- 1:30:22Speaker 1: what happened. Okay, Uh, I like numbers as democrats, socialist
- 1:30:28Speaker 1: anti Semis are winning primaries. Well, Carson MTG leaving Trump's
- 1:30:36Speaker 1: GOP is one party not getting worse for Jews. Well,
- 1:30:41Speaker 1: you know, are they really leaving the the the the GOP,
- 1:30:46Speaker 1: particularly now that Trump has cut a deal with Iran?
- 1:30:49Speaker 1: Are they not gonna all come back? And are they
- 1:30:52Speaker 1: listeners leaving the GOP and where they're going if they're
- 1:30:55Speaker 1: leaving the GOP, and if the GOP shifts to to
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: uh jd Vance while they all rejoined the GOP. You know,
- 1:31:07Speaker 1: the point is this is this is not a static thing.
- 1:31:11Speaker 1: The point is that on the right, extreme right and
- 1:31:15Speaker 1: the fall right and the fall left, you've got anti Semites.
- 1:31:18Speaker 1: And Jamie Vance, who is a friend of Carlson, who
- 1:31:22Speaker 1: is who has been interviewed by people, Uh, you know,
- 1:31:27Speaker 1: Magan Kelly's either straight out anti Samite or at least
- 1:31:30Speaker 1: in a piece of anti Semites. He's been interviewed friendly
- 1:31:35Speaker 1: with Megan Kelly. He is the Vice president of the
- 1:31:38Speaker 1: United States, and he's playing with anti Semitism and it's
- 1:31:42Speaker 1: clearly compromising the United States in ways that god unthinkable
- 1:31:47Speaker 1: that if a Democrat did, you would be flipping out.
- 1:31:50Speaker 1: I mean, jd Vance is such an embarrassment right now
- 1:31:54Speaker 1: that I can't even imagine how you what you'd think
- 1:31:57Speaker 1: of him if he was a Democrat. And yet you,
- 1:32:00Speaker 1: you know, you still want to find ways in which
- 1:32:03Speaker 1: to justify jd Vance's party, not Trump's party. Trump is
- 1:32:08Speaker 1: the past. Jd Vance's party, the party that Trump has
- 1:32:12Speaker 1: helped create, which is not Rubio's party. It's not Trump's party.
- 1:32:18Speaker 1: The party of the future is jd Vance's party, at
- 1:32:20Speaker 1: least as things stand right now. And that's a party
- 1:32:24Speaker 1: that is just as antisemonic and whose leader is more
- 1:32:29Speaker 1: so than the Democrats. So I don't know what the
- 1:32:35Speaker 1: point of the question is. These are bad, and these
- 1:32:38Speaker 1: are bad, and you know, what are you gonna do?
- 1:32:42Speaker 1: And by the way, the only reason, the only reason
- 1:32:46Speaker 1: that the Democrats are becoming this crazy left is because
- 1:32:50Speaker 1: of Trump. Just just like Trump's first term generated peak woke,
- 1:32:57Speaker 1: Trump's second term is generating peak hatred of Israel and
- 1:33:02Speaker 1: peak hatred of peak peak endorsement of these socialists. This
- 1:33:11Speaker 1: whole democratic socialist thing is a response to Trump. So
- 1:33:16Speaker 1: you can't you can't whitewash that Trump. They play off
- 1:33:20Speaker 1: of each other. The far right is a response to
- 1:33:24Speaker 1: fall left, which is a response to the large extent
- 1:33:26Speaker 1: was a response to to Trump, which was a response
- 1:33:29Speaker 1: to Obama, which you know, and it all comes from
- 1:33:35Speaker 1: the universities. But at the end of the day, they
- 1:33:37Speaker 1: constantly feed on each other, parks in both their houses.
- 1:33:44Speaker 1: And doesn't the US risk gaining EU style regulations like
- 1:33:48Speaker 1: the needing a doctor's note for AC as we adopt
- 1:33:52Speaker 1: more global standards, international rules and norms. Yeah, but I
- 1:33:56Speaker 1: don't The United States has never really on that at scale. No,
- 1:34:04Speaker 1: I don't think we're going to get doctor's notes based
- 1:34:08Speaker 1: the Americans were not tolerate that kind of stuff. So, yeah,
- 1:34:12Speaker 1: we shouldn't adopt global standards and norms. Uh. Certainly, regulatory
- 1:34:17Speaker 1: standards and norms we shouldn't adopt. We should be decreasing
- 1:34:20Speaker 1: our it's not adopting this. Our problems are not the
- 1:34:27Speaker 1: international community. Our problems are homegrown, our problems of what
- 1:34:30Speaker 1: we do to ourselves. But yeah, we shouldn't adopt those. Uh.
- 1:34:37Speaker 1: Enrik the best to you and your family on Thank you.
- 1:34:39Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Linda. Can you speak about Ben and
- 1:34:44Speaker 1: Jerry's new flav from Milk and Honey in the light
- 1:34:47Speaker 1: of their antagonists of ISEL. It's interesting because I was
- 1:34:50Speaker 1: just talking about this with my brother, because my brother
- 1:34:53Speaker 1: said the refrigerator stack with Ben and Jerry. I scream
- 1:34:56Speaker 1: and I said, you know, Ben and Jerry, this is
- 1:34:58Speaker 1: so anti Israel and they I don't hate Israel, but
- 1:35:01Speaker 1: he said, the only the only factory that produces Ben
- 1:35:04Speaker 1: and Jerry ice cream outside of the United States is
- 1:35:06Speaker 1: actually in Israel, and they're very popular in Israel. So
- 1:35:12Speaker 1: milk and honey is a way to suck up against
- 1:35:14Speaker 1: the Israeli market. I don't know. I haven't seen that flavor.
- 1:35:17Speaker 1: But I have not eaten Ben and Jerry since nineteen
- 1:35:21Speaker 1: ninety seven. I think because I boycotted them, not because
- 1:35:24Speaker 1: of the anti Israel stand which didn't exist back then,
- 1:35:28Speaker 1: but because of there because they're the worst kind of socialists.
- 1:35:31Speaker 1: So I boycotted the anti capitalists, the horror of human beings.
- 1:35:36Speaker 1: I boycotted them in nineteen ninety seven, and I refuse
- 1:35:40Speaker 1: to eat their ice cream since then. So, but but
- 1:35:44Speaker 1: you know, they're very antagonistic because Ben and Jerry, you know,
- 1:35:50Speaker 1: Democratic Socialists of America. You know, they're really really bad.
- 1:35:55Speaker 1: And in the nineties they were very prominent and would
- 1:35:58Speaker 1: be in television all the time complaining about capitalism and
- 1:36:01Speaker 1: talking about the evils of capitalism. I stopped eating them
- 1:36:04Speaker 1: and you should too, Lincoln, I've noticed the law is
- 1:36:11Speaker 1: awelmingly left wing. Is this laws ties to government, making
- 1:36:16Speaker 1: it leftists? Or is it because educated people vote democratic?
- 1:36:19Speaker 1: It's because educated people vote democratic. It's because educated people
- 1:36:23Speaker 1: go to universities and they get educated by leftists. And
- 1:36:27Speaker 1: even if they come into the universities not as leftists,
- 1:36:29Speaker 1: they become leftists. So it's not just law all academic,
- 1:36:40Speaker 1: you know, all high you know? Is it? High degree
- 1:36:45Speaker 1: professions tend to be to the left most, not all. Raphael,
- 1:36:52Speaker 1: happy to know you're a Messy supporter. I'm Portuguese and
- 1:36:56Speaker 1: I've been defending Messi over Ronaldo for the past two years.
- 1:36:59Speaker 1: I might lose my citizenship. Yeah, you better be careful
- 1:37:01Speaker 1: with you know. I'm counting at you staying in Portugal
- 1:37:05Speaker 1: for a while. I'll see you the sum of it,
- 1:37:09Speaker 1: all right, Popacampbell is most competition in life? You versus
- 1:37:15Speaker 1: other people? Are you versus yourself? I don't know that
- 1:37:21Speaker 1: you're really competing with yourself. I mean, what you should
- 1:37:25Speaker 1: be doing is maximizing your own abilities, not in the
- 1:37:27Speaker 1: form of competition because there's nobody to be with you
- 1:37:30Speaker 1: are who you are, but making the most of yourself.
- 1:37:33Speaker 1: And I think that's what life is mostly about. It
- 1:37:36Speaker 1: should be about being the best version of yourself possible,
- 1:37:40Speaker 1: doing the best that you can with what you have,
- 1:37:44Speaker 1: not settling for what you have, and getting more. Lincoln.
- 1:37:49Speaker 1: It's often said that people, especially celebrities, are aging slower
- 1:37:53Speaker 1: and look younger than before, comparing middle aged pop stars
- 1:37:56Speaker 1: like Rent Stefani and Jennifer Lopez the middle aged women
- 1:38:00Speaker 1: decades ago. It is actually is it actually better medicine
- 1:38:05Speaker 1: or just plastic surgery and people more Cattal. I think
- 1:38:09Speaker 1: it's both. I think that they get plastic surgery as well,
- 1:38:13Speaker 1: but they also exercise much more today. People today exercise more,
- 1:38:19Speaker 1: and the celebrities exercise a lot, they eat better. There's
- 1:38:23Speaker 1: more science behind nutrition, there's more science behind it, exercise,
- 1:38:28Speaker 1: there's more you know, and there's plastic surgery. So I
- 1:38:33Speaker 1: think it's a combination of all of the above. And
- 1:38:37Speaker 1: but yes, I think I think people today look better
- 1:38:40Speaker 1: than they did. I mean, what was it fifty? Is
- 1:38:43Speaker 1: the new thirty or sixty years a new forty? I
- 1:38:45Speaker 1: don't know. Something like that. That's a consequence of a
- 1:38:48Speaker 1: better health care and just more opportunities to take care
- 1:38:55Speaker 1: of yourself and more knowledge about how to take care
- 1:38:57Speaker 1: of yourself. So how many you know I work out
- 1:39:01Speaker 1: almost every day? How many sixty five year olds twenty
- 1:39:04Speaker 1: years ago worked out almost very few? How many forty
- 1:39:08Speaker 1: years ago today? Quite a few? Liam, Are you concerned
- 1:39:15Speaker 1: how close Blake Shoals is to Trump? Trump removed the
- 1:39:19Speaker 1: speed limit for commercial aircraft to executive order rather than
- 1:39:23Speaker 1: going through Congress. No, I'm not concerned. I don't see
- 1:39:26Speaker 1: why when should be concerned. There's no reason to believe that.
- 1:39:31Speaker 1: And if Blake Shoals can get Trump to reduce the
- 1:39:36Speaker 1: speed limit rate and you can can do it through
- 1:39:38Speaker 1: executive voter, c be it. I mean it's it would
- 1:39:43Speaker 1: be better for his legislation because it can't be reversed.
- 1:39:46Speaker 1: But you know, you have to deal with what you have.
- 1:39:51Speaker 1: So I have no problem business lobbying Trump or lobbying
- 1:39:56Speaker 1: any president to try to better their condition if the
- 1:40:00Speaker 1: lobbying is trying to move things towards freedom, and getting
- 1:40:03Speaker 1: rid of a speed limit is moving things towards freedom.
- 1:40:05Speaker 1: And by the way, it wasn't just Blake Shows, right,
- 1:40:08Speaker 1: NASA is working on a plane sonic. Blake Shows has competition,
- 1:40:13Speaker 1: not directly into the kind of commercial flights he's doing,
- 1:40:17Speaker 1: but private jets that might be super sonics. So you
- 1:40:23Speaker 1: know there are other people also involved in this that
- 1:40:26Speaker 1: are putting that that mind, if not Trump. So no,
- 1:40:29Speaker 1: I have no concerns about that. Nothing, no, no basis
- 1:40:32Speaker 1: for any concern. Mm hmmm, Michael, did you see Michael
- 1:40:38Speaker 1: Evan finally turned on Trump over his betrayal of Israel?
- 1:40:41Speaker 1: Have you tried getting on a show? I tried years
- 1:40:44Speaker 1: and years ago and he wouldn't have me on, and
- 1:40:47Speaker 1: I tried to recent leave. But as he really turned
- 1:40:51Speaker 1: on Trump last I saw he was blaming jd Vance
- 1:40:54Speaker 1: for I haven't seen him mention Trump in a negative way.
- 1:40:58Speaker 1: I've seen him blame jade Van's and say J Events
- 1:41:01Speaker 1: has too much influence on Trump. Same with Ben Shapiro
- 1:41:05Speaker 1: blaming everything on J events instead of going after Trump.
- 1:41:09Speaker 1: So not you have a J algorithm. You're already this
- 1:41:14Speaker 1: is a quote from a London monster. You already know
- 1:41:17Speaker 1: what you have to do. You're just negotiating with comfort.
- 1:41:21Speaker 1: There's an element of that that's true. But people don't
- 1:41:25Speaker 1: know what to do. I mean, you know, they had
- 1:41:28Speaker 1: a clearer vision of what they wanted to do. Lincoln,
- 1:41:32Speaker 1: what do you think about Medicare Medicaid covering GP ones. Yes,
- 1:41:38Speaker 1: all intervention is bad, but lower obesity could lower tax
- 1:41:42Speaker 1: burden overall. Well, I mean they cover other healthcare drugs,
- 1:41:48Speaker 1: or I wouldn't they cover GP one. So I don't
- 1:41:51Speaker 1: see why GP ones is a new intervention. It's just
- 1:41:54Speaker 1: the same intervention was before. So if GP one, you know,
- 1:42:00Speaker 1: reduces healthcare costs and put it that way, JPY ones
- 1:42:07Speaker 1: improve health, and are therefore a treatment that improves health,
- 1:42:11Speaker 1: then they should cover it. Now how they should cover it,
- 1:42:13Speaker 1: how much they should cover for what diseases, for what
- 1:42:17Speaker 1: indications that you know, I don't know. You'd have to
- 1:42:21Speaker 1: look at the Medican Medicaid guidelines and what they cover
- 1:42:25Speaker 1: and what they don't. But I don't see why these
- 1:42:27Speaker 1: will different. Author Do intellectuals oppose self interest because they
- 1:42:33Speaker 1: actually think it makes people do horrible things to each
- 1:42:36Speaker 1: other or because it makes people rich and happy? I
- 1:42:39Speaker 1: think both. I think both. I think they think that
- 1:42:43Speaker 1: it will cause them to do horrible things to each other,
- 1:42:46Speaker 1: and they also envious of people who are rich and happy.
- 1:42:49Speaker 1: And I think that envy combined with that belief that
- 1:42:54Speaker 1: self interest is evil and you know, cause these behaviors
- 1:42:59Speaker 1: that that company is what drives the author. Suppose Alan
- 1:43:03Speaker 1: Greenspan did objectivest things while he was in power, what
- 1:43:07Speaker 1: I wasted opportunity? Yet it was he never even talked
- 1:43:13Speaker 1: about it. He never used the bully pulpit. I thought, Okay,
- 1:43:17Speaker 1: you're retiring, you're giving your last presentation to Congress. Imagine
- 1:43:23Speaker 1: if he had given a pro capitalism speech to Congress
- 1:43:27Speaker 1: on his last day as chairman of the FED. He
- 1:43:29Speaker 1: didn't even do that. There was no downside at that point.
- 1:43:32Speaker 1: But he cared too much about what people thought of him,
- 1:43:34Speaker 1: so he wouldn't make a stand even if he believed it.
- 1:43:39Speaker 1: I mean, he was just a massive, massive message. Author
- 1:43:47Speaker 1: has the only objectivist who has had an influence on
- 1:43:50Speaker 1: people in power who hasn't been a turn code Aleccepston.
- 1:43:55Speaker 1: I think there were early on. I think there were
- 1:43:57Speaker 1: some people who had influence on the Nixon administration. I
- 1:44:01Speaker 1: think there was influence on the Ford administration, and maybe
- 1:44:06Speaker 1: suddenly people influenced by the I ran at influence in
- 1:44:10Speaker 1: the Reagan administration, Cuerdainly alex is the most consistent of
- 1:44:14Speaker 1: all of those and the most committed to objectivism. All right,
- 1:44:20Speaker 1: last question, time, O or something? Canadian culture better than Europe,
- 1:44:28Speaker 1: worse than the US? Yeah? Probably probably better than Europe
- 1:44:33Speaker 1: or worse than the US. I think they're very Europeans.
- 1:44:37Speaker 1: I don't know how to measure them as compared to Europe.
- 1:44:41Speaker 1: How much better they off from Europe. I mean there's
- 1:44:43Speaker 1: certain good things about it, and certainly in the Western
- 1:44:45Speaker 1: Canada there's an American spirit about them. Eastern Canada, Certenly,
- 1:44:51Speaker 1: Montreal is much more European, so Canada is pretty difficuous.
- 1:44:55Speaker 1: So yeah, I say that between US and Europe. All right, guys,
- 1:45:02Speaker 1: thank you.
- 1:45:03Speaker 6: It is quoted to midnight, so I'm going to sleep.
- 1:45:08Speaker 6: I'm not showing the next show will be on. I
- 1:45:10Speaker 6: will try to let you know in advance. But yeah,
- 1:45:17Speaker 6: as I said, Saturday and flying to London and from
- 1:45:20Speaker 6: London to on Sunday to UH to New Orleans or
- 1:45:27Speaker 6: maybe from London on Saturday night that's a possibility, maybe
- 1:45:30Speaker 6: tomorrow night, I'm not sure.
- 1:45:34Speaker 1: See you guys, have a great rest of you week,
- 1:45:36Speaker 1: and thank you for all the good wishes that you
- 1:45:37Speaker 1: guys were sending. I appreciate that. Bye everybody,
