  Speaker 1: I am back for a little while now for very long.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I'm back for a few days here in Puerto Rico.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: So we will have shows today, Tomorrow, Monday, and Monday
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: from Puerto Rico and the Tuesday I'm flying again. But
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: we should have shows on Tuesday and Friday from the road,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: so that that should be the the schedule this week.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: No shows on Wednesday and Thursday. For those of you
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: in San Francisco, I will be doing a debate. I'm
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: not sure exactly what the format is going to be.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: They still haven't clarified it to me, but about Christianity
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: in Western civilization. That'll be on Wednesday evening and you
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: can check out. You can get information on that on
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: my website. You on bookshow dot com. Just school down
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and you'll get events and then if you check and
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: then if you're in Colorado. Then on Thursday night, I
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: will be in Colorado Springs at the university, the University
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: of Colorado, Colorado.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Springs, debating a.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Socialist it kind of a real socialist, but a little unconventional.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: He's got views, his views a little conventional, and so
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: there's views of socialism.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: But that should be that should be really good and exciting.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Hopefully there'll be a packed audience that's at a university
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: of people interested in in this issue. Uh So it'd
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: be great if I had a few people who agreed
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: with me, because I have a feeling, uh that it'll
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: be packed, even though it's in Colorado Springs, a very conservative.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Part of the country.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I suspect at the university they're just as leftist as
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: any other university out there.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it'd be great if you guys showed.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Up and and came and and and uh we're at
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the event and uh supported uh supported uh.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Capitalism supported my position in the debate. All right.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Uh so we're gonna be talking about kind of really
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the insanity of the last week and a half, just
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the craziness out there in the world. I mean, I
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: say insanity, but on the other hand, it's it's it's
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: very uh, very uh predictable, a very predictable situation, by
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the way, you know, it was heck called in Lisbon,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: three people by three people who came up and started
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: yelling about the fact that I was a Zionist and
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: therefore should not be talking about capitalism. So they were
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: unelegantly escorted out of the room and and thrown out.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: But if you watch the discussion the video from the
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Lisbon event, you'll.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Catch a little bit of the excitement around that. I do.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to expect in Colorado Springs. Again,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if some of the supporters of
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: socialism the left has showed up in anticipation of not
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: accusing me of being a capitalist, God forbid, but accusing
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: me of being a Zionist. That that is the ultimate
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: insult these days from the left. So I wouldn't be
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: surprised if there was some excitement around that. But security,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure we'll be robust at the event in
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Colorado Springs. All right, So.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: What has been going out?
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Well, we all know, I think everybody knows that Mumdani
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: an explicit socialist and explicit Hata of Israel, you know,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: basically a river to the sea, globalize the jihad kind
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: of leftist and a socialist government should own the means
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: of a production. What did he say in a speech
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: just after the election. There's no there's no issue. There's
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: no issue small enough that that the government shouldn't have
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: any interest in it and shouldn't be able to make
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: things better. So a kind of an interventionist at a
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: level we've never seen, I think in this country, or
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: at least not in a high profile position. A real socialist,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: a socialist of the state owning the means of production
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: type socialist. Again, I don't think we've seen anybody quite
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: like that at this level of government. And somebody who
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: is combines kind of the anti Semitism, anti Israel, anti
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Western civilization, anti Enlightenment aspect of the left with a
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: kind of a Marxist owning the means of production combinations.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: So he is the real thing. He is the real thing,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: and we will see how much damage he can actually do.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: In New York. One of the things that I think went.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Under reported was that the number of kind of far
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: left progressives elected the city council is also kind of
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: an historic level.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: So he has got a.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: City council this very faith vobo towards his agenda, and therefore,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: at least at the city level, he will have a
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: lot of influence. He will be able to shape a
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: lot of policy, uh, and do a lot of harm.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Exactly what harm? How to tell?
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: So and he is you know, he just to give
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: you a sense, he was in Puerto Rico, I guess
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the last few days for some conference they do once
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: a year with politicians from New York. And he went
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: to a local mosk here. And this is a mosque
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: in which the preacher kind of said that October seventh
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: was was a he said during while I was on
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Mum Donny was in the was there, Uh, you know,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: praise October seventh. This is the level of hostility, the
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: level of hatred of Israel and of I think more
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: broadly of Jews that Mum Danny represents from the left. Uh.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: And ultimately, ultimately all of that represents, as we'll talk
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: about it a little bit, all of that represents a
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: real hatred of the Enlightenment of of the West, the
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Western civilization, Western civilization represents and is.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: So so that was going on on the left this.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Last week, and you know, the left is is definitely celebrating.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I'll just mention the fact that it was a clean
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: suite pretty much for Democrats across the board. Democrats won
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the governorship in New Jersey, they won. They won the
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: governorship in Virginia, taking it from a Republican. They won
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: many of the kind of local elections they won local
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: you know, state houses, as state Senate, the state House
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: of Representatives they won me always. They also one the
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: redistricting battle in California, a clean sweep for Democrats across
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: the board. In addition, I mean, the one more positive
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: thing was in Minnesota, Minneapolis where the current mayor, who
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: is just a progressive.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Not a far fall far far left.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Progressive, but just a progressive, beat a Somali who was
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: challenging him, who was far far far left, but suppose
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the only one because of a dispute within the Somali
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: community among the different clans. You know, I don't know,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: but that was at least reasonable news. I guess when
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: a moderate progressive wins versus a progressive progressive wins, that's
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: good news. But Democrats won across the board, and one
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: has to to large extent. This is a pudiation I
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: think of Trump to large extent. This is the existential
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: angst that exist right now about many of Trump's policies.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: In many of these locations, there was a massive swing
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: from people who voted for Trump to people who voted
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Democratic this time, particularly among.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Can you guess, can you guess who who voted to Trump?
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Now we're no longer one to vote for Trump. Well,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: among Hispanics and among Asians. I think the swing among
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Asians was something at forty two points. Swing among Hispanics
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: was forty something points, was sorry, twenty something points. So yeah,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I mean you kind of get a sense maybe the
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Hispanic population, even those who voted for Trump in the
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: first you know, this year, maybe I'm not too happy
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: with the ice phenomena, maybe not too happy with having
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: their relatives and maybe even in some cases themselves being
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: detained and in some cases being being deported. And at
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: the same time, of course, on the economic front, prices
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: still increasing, inflation, price inflation still evident. Things not getting better,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: just things not getting better. If anything, the employment situation
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: today versus when the election was held a year ago,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: the employment situation is worse, but you know, the only
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: thing that's significantly better in terms of the economy right
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: now visa vie a year ago is the stock market.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I think there was something about consumer sentiment that came
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: out at the lowest point.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Is only one point that is.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Lower in the history of the survey, and that was
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: during the post COVID inflation. So yeah, people are unhappy.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: People are not happy with the Trump administration. And I
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: think that that got reflected in the ballot box during
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: this election, and it does not bode well for the
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: mid terms.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: And look, all of this in spite of another.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Fact that are all the posts show, and that is
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: that people don't like the Democratic Party. They really do
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: not like the Democratic Party. All Right, We're going to
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: put that aside because I really want to talk more
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: about Zon Mamdani and kind of the far left than
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: to talk about just the swing and the election.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: We'll get to that. We'll have plenty of time to
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: talk about that.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: In the days, weeks, months, years to come. At the
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: same time, so that was going on on the left,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: the left. So the victory of our fall leftist I
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: think this emboldened the progressives, It emboldened the socialist and
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: inmbolden day and the capitalist and emboldened the anti Semites
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: on the far left, and we'll be seeing many more
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: candidates like Mamdania though I think m'm Donnie's unique, but
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: we'll be seeing a lot more of those candidates. And
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I think that generally the movement, the political movement, the
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: cultural movement that he represent is going to be much
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: more emboldened, much more emboldened. At the same time as
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: all of this is going on the right, the far right,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: the antisemitic, racist, anti enlightenment, anti anti Western civilization less
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: might I say anti American right has been dominating the
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: news and has been all the talk and all the
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: conflict on the right. I need. The reality is that
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: if I look at my news feed, if I look
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: at Twitter, if I ok at where else the Nick foyentees,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Tucker Callson, Heritage has dominated the discussion, the discussion out there,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: and the Heritage Foundation in particular.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: We've talked about this in a.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Previous show, but it's only gotten worse. I mean, it's hemorrhaging.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Donut employees are leaving. There is significant debate within the organization,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: There is unhappiness with leadership, and every time they kind
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: of backtrack and kind of explain themselves. And the reason
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: for all this is the fact that basically the leadership
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: of Heritage has come out basically in overwhelming support and
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: kind of support. Forever.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: We are friends forever with Tacker Calson.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: No matter what he does, no matter who he platforms,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: no matter who he supports, no matter how again antisemitic,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: anti American, anti Western civilization he becomes, Heritage will stick
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: with him. And of course this is mean the last
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: two weeks peak, I mean, hopefully it's peak. Hopefully it
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: doesn't go from here, you know, peak Nick Foyentis Grouper's.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Popularity.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: New York Times arn his story during the week that
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: according to the sources they have in the White House
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: and among gropers, I guess, and I don't know if
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: you want to just say this is The New York
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Times being hysterical or not. It's hard to tell when
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: The New York Times has a smidgeon of truth and
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: when it's just completely crazy. But they are arguing that
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: about forty percent of staffers young staffers in the White
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: House in this administration are fans of Nick Foyentis. Nick
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Fotis then went up on his show and said, oh no, no,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: they are way underestimating.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: It's much more than that.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: And of course we saw this is all we saw
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: about two weeks before the Nick Fointest thing, before Nick
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Fointis was interviewed by Tucker, we saw the leaked chats
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: by young Republicans. They were Nick Foynd thats like. So
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: the prevalence of racism, anti women, and anti Semitism, and
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: again I will add to that, anti Western civilization, anti
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: American the prevalence of that on the right is truly,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, just unbelievably shocking, just shocking over the weekend. Well,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: it wasn't over the weekend, because the weekid is now
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: I'm a little discombobulated in terms of time and where
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I am and everything, just because all the flying and
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: the changing of time zones and what day it is
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: and so on. But yeah, but the over the last
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: couple of days, I guess Megan Kelly has been hosting
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: a interview show live on stage. I'm not exactly what
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: the what the hosting or what the host was, but
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: well attended. He usually attendant, and you know, she interviewed
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson and she asked at Carlson, why didn't you
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: ask You know a lot of people are saying, why
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: do you ask tough questions of Nick? Points and Tucker
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: call all defensive and basically said, it's my show. I'll
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: do whatever the hell I want. And if you want
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: to ask the fos tough questions, you have a show.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: You're inviting fointas on and asking question. This is not
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: targeted to make it Kelly, who's very pro Tucker and
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: very friendly and very nice to Tucker as part of
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: the whole rights sucking up the Tucker agenda, but this
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: was targeted at whoever might have dared to ask such
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: a such a question. The next day, she interviewed Ben Shapiro,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: and look, I have a lot of disagreements with Ben Shapiro,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: starting with the fact that he is a religious Jew
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: and I am not, and and the fact that he
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: has been willing to what to give a basically to
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: uh give a thumbs up to much of what Donald
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Trump does and I have not, And you know.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Huge disagreements between us, I mean massive.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: And yet in all of this, in all of what's
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: happening right now, Ben Shapiro by far is the most
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: rational of of of all the commentators out there, he
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: has broken down Nick foyntus and and uh and criticized him,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: I think rationally and properly. If you want to see
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Nick Foyintis videos, if you're not convinced by me saying
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: he's an anti semi, I'm not showing new appoint videos here,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: but if you want to see, just look up.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Ben Shapiro's criticism of Nick Coointus.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: He's got uh, he's got a what he got a
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: montage of Nick Foytis uh, you know, going after Jews
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: and and so on, so you can get a sense of.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Of what Nick point is like if you need that.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: You know, not highly recommended.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: The guys a real scumback, really slimy and and and
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: not particularly aesthetic to watch as he does this. He's
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: he gives us pretty disgusting vibes to me, Savni Shaville's
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: really been a bright light here. And he was was
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: making Kelly. I mean, he was, he was He was principled.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: He called evil evil. He went after Candae's own He
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: tried to making Kelly for not taking a position when
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: when being confronted with evil. He went after Tucker Carson,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: although he was a little bit too friendly to Tucker,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: still willing to forgive Tucker, still willing to work with
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Tucker if Tucker did these things. God, at some point,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: you just have to give up, Ben. Some of these
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: people are just playing evil and you just have to
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: walk away. You just have to give up on them.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: So Ben has done. Ben has done a good job.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Ben is in a difficult situation because many of his
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: listeners are probably turning their backs on him. And indeed,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: you know, I look at what's going on right now
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: with Ben Shapiro, the Nick foytus and then Mett Walsh
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: basically saying we need everybody in the tent. We need
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: a big old tent to beat the left. We need
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: to invite anybody who wants to be in our tent
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: to be an out tent to beat the left. Matt Welsh,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: of course, is part of The Daily Wire, which is
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: the company that Ben Shapiro founded. I don't hear much
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: from Michael Knowles about these issues. He's kind of gone quiet.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: But when suspects he might not be, he might not
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: be on Ben Shapiro's side, you have to wonder about
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: the future of the Daily Wire. I mean, how does
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: the Daily Wire really survive with Ben Shapiro basically calling
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: out some people on the right evil and having nothing
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: to do with them. He actually canceled or refused to
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: appear on Patrick bin David's show because Patrick bin David
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: had interviewed Nick Foynis. I say, good for Ben for
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: taking a principal stand again platforming evil, and Matt Walsh
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: is calling at the same time, why can't we all
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: get along? Shouldn't we all be in the same big umbrella.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Michael Knows probably agrees with Matt Walsh.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know if.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: He's actually made it, you know, I don't know how
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: they stay in the same platform. I mean a number
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: of people have already left the Daily Wire because of
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: the disagreements I think with Ben Shapiro around Israel, around
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: anti Semitism, and around people like Nick foyntis of course
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: CANDICEO and being the most prominent of them, but she's
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: not the only one. Matt Walsh and Michael Know is
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: gonna leave as well. Matt Walsh and Michael Lowe's leave.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Is the Daily Wire still the Daily Wire?
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Is it? Is it? Can it?
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Is it still sustainable? Is it still doable? Can he
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: make enough money. Can Ben Shapiro make enough money to
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: sustain it by himself? Are the other people in Daily
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Wire really be able to fill in the gap if
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: they leave? I doubt it. I mean, as irrationalists, I think,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: as Ben Shapiro, who is.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: He is?
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: He is way too rational for the American rights today.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: He's way you know, too.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Pro American, way too pro Wist and civilization for the
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: insane nutty right today.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: So can he survive?
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, based on the comments that I got right
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: I posted good for Ben, to the idea that he
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: didn't appear with Patrick and defeat, Oh my god, all
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: the I mean, the number of anti semit who showed
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: up is just unbelievable, slamming me, slamming Ben, some of
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: those really ugly, ugly, horrific stuff. And you know, I'm
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: sure that's just a fraction of all the ones out there. Uh,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: And so it really is how to see. I mean,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know what Bend's numbers are. I mean, I'm
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: sure they're huge, and I'm sure he has a huge following.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: And I want to believe that there's enough people in
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: the right who are still sane and rational and fairly
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: good that can that they've been can sustained. Uh, you know,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: UH can sustain his following. But you know, I'm not
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: you know, we'll see, We'll see and and again. The
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Daily Wise are big a whole organization. Uh. And is
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: that whole organization? Uh sustainable if if some of the
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: more Christian parts of the Channel or the the the
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Platform leave, I don't know. I don't know. Of course,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Jordan Peterson is part of the Channel, but Jordan would leave.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: I think Jordan would be on Ben Shapiro's side. But
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Jordan is sick. He hasn't taped anything new in a
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: long time. I don't know if you know when he's
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: gonna get better. Uh, you know, I don't think he's
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: being much revenue right now for the Daily Why. I
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: don't know, right I have no inside information, but I
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: I I wonder how sustainable the whole thing is a
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: few other things worth noting particularly about about Tucker.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: You know Tucker.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: You know a lot of people are saying, Uh, Tucker's
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: not anti Semitic, He's he's just anti Israel and he's
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: just asking questions about the support the United States provides
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: to Israel.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean that is that is.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: That is just a cop out, because actually analyzing what
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Teka says and what he does makes it very clear
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: his positions. For months now, all he talks about a
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Jews an Israel as they are genocides, as they are
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: horrific acts of violence all over the world. And as
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Mamdani gets elected mayor of New York, I mean, he's
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Tech's supposed to be part of this coalition to fight
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: the left, and yet he talks very little about the left.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: And indeed, in his latest newsletter, Techer Carlson spent the
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: newsletter defending Mamdani as actually.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Not really anti Semitic.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Mamdani not anti Semitic because just like him, he's just
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: a secking Israel and the real problem of the Jews.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: So I don't think there's any question in.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Terms of Tucker's anti Semitism. I don't think.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's up for really debate once you
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: actually look at the at the evidence, and it's stunning
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: the Heritage Foundation sticking with him as part of this
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: coalition to fight the left, when Tucker does very little
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: to fight the left. He'd rather, you know, a question
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: whether the Hitler is as bad as we really think
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: he was whether the Churchill might have been the worst
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: leader in really the evil guy during World War Two.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: He'd much rather ask questions about Israel and the Jews
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: than actually engage in going after the left. So it's
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: curious what it is that heritage is defending. It's curious
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: to me what it is the right is rallying around.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: What is really motivating them, what is driving them? And
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: I think from all of this, I mean from I
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: mean heritage is obviously being torn apart right now because
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: heritage has what you would consider old line Republicans.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Who are.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: You know, God, what is going on?
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: God?
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: What was I talking about?
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: This is my mind is still is still consumed by
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: jet leg I guess.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: Handicapped by jet lag.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: But in a heritage there's some old line conservatives who
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: are still hanging on to kind of old you know,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: generally pro maybe a little bit of markets, not too much,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: but a little bit, you know, pro pro American Founding
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Fathers they still meant and the Funding Fathers and maybe
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Constitution of Declaration. They tend to be not antisemitic. They
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: tend to be pro American and pro Western civilization, even
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: if they put too much of an emphasis on religion.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: These are kind of the mainstream, you know, Conservatives of
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: the past kind of missed them, and suddenly they've discovered
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: that their institution is being run by people who have
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: an endless respect for Techerkasson of twenty twenty five, not
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: tech Calson five years ago, not even tech Colson three
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: years ago, certainly not Techa Coulson of ten years ago,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: but Thatch Cosson of today. They are being managed by
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: people whose allegiant is to Taker Cousson, the platform of
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Nick Foenters, who's driven by both of them, are driven
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: by anti Semitic h I mean, so what's going on here?
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: So I want to step back a little bit. And
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: so heritage has been torn apart, and we'll talk about
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: that as ann mentions in the super Chat. Stephen Moore
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: resigned from Heritage. Although I'm a little pistop at Stephen
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Moore because when he resigned from Heritage, he didn't say
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: he was resigning from Heritage because of this, which he
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: should have. You should have had the coverage to do.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: He's been in Heritage for a long time. I said
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: he was pursuing other things. Da da da da da da,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: it would be nice to take a mall stand Stephen.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: I know Stephen Moore, we know each other.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Stephen. If I see him, I will I definitely intend
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: to say something to him. The timing made it clear,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: But God, it makes such a difference when you actually
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: are willing to use your platform to say this is
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: why I'm leaving Heritage. It would have been so much
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: clearer and so much more powerful of a statement if
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: that had happened. Several people now have also left Heritage. Indeed, today,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: was it today or yesterday? Probably yesterday? Yesterday. The Heritage
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Foundation Chief Advancement Officer Andy Olivastro sent out an email
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: to the think tank partners saying the Heritage Foundation is
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: rooted in principles and policies, not personalities.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: I guess not, techer Coulson.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: We will not make the mistake of placing individuals Tucker Colson,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: even friends Taker Coulson, above the critical mission of the
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: institution that all of us are entrusted to.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Stewart, I think I told you that.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: The Heritage Foundation has this anti Semitism project that they're
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: doing with partners. Well, basically they've been kicked out of it,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: or the partners have left. They do not want to
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: collaborate with Heritage Foundation on this project of anti semitism
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: as long as they continue to be apologist for Tucker.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: So how did the right become so crazy and so fringe?
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: How did somebody like you know, really a juvenile clown
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: like nik for Antis have so much leverage? The Tucker
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Cousin is willing to risk everything to have him on
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: his platform and to talk to him, and Heritage is
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: willing to risk implosion in order to basically have one
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: big happy tent with you know, an anti Semitic Tucker Cousin.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: How come Tucker cous is this because he is? What
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: about the left? I mean most of the left, And
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: I know some of you won't like this, but most
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: of the left, I'm not moms. I don't think mcdonnie
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: could win on a national ticket. I suddenly hope not.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: You know, most of most people on the left are
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: not anti Semitic, and they're not pro Hamas. Although the
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: number of people who are anti Israel has grown significantly,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: I think very few people if they understood off that
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: even an inkling of what globalized need to fodder actually meant.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I don't think most people are pro globalized.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Need to fudter?
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Why are these fringe characters coming to dominate out intellectual life?
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: How are these fingch characters coming to dominate politics? Where
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: did they come from? Is it true that these people
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: have always been racists and anti semites on the right
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: and always been anti Semites and anti Western civilization on
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: the left. I mean, to some extent, I think that's
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: more true of their fall left than it is of
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: the fall right. But maybe not. Maybe they've always been this.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: But if they've always existed, if this has always been
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: a big chunk of the left and a big chunk
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: of the right, then why were they so quiet for
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: so many years? Because I would argue that from the
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: civil rights movement on really until.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Twenty sixteen, and maybe with the left.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, both the left and the right presented themselves as
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: significantly more moderate, significantly more centrist. Racism for a very
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: long time in America was considered no, you just don't
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: go there. And if somebody expressed racist ideas, they're out,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: You deep platform them, you have nothing to do with them.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Racism was considered evil and wrong and bad and not
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: something you deal with. And racism now is just has
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: become mainscrewmed How did that? How did the wackos and
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: the craziest come to dominate our conversation?
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: I mean antisemitism.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: I think since the nineteen sixties was just unacceptable, and
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: both left and right it existed that the fringe is sure,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: but nobody would actually stand up and make a big
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: deal out of it.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, people have been calling each.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Other racist forever, but real racism, where is it all
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: coming from now? It's true that to some extent it's
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: always been there. I think it's elevated now, but it's
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: always been there. America's always had an element of racism
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: and xenophobia. But how did it get legitimized? So? I
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: think there are a number of levels, a number of
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: levels of answers to this.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Question that I think we have to dig into.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: And I want to answer that question, this question, why
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: is it that this is now dominating all the news?
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Why isn't it just marginalized? Why isn't it the margins?
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Why isn't it that the periphery wight belongs right? A
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: majority of Americans I think are now Mamdani and are
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: not Nick fointis not even taker Carlson and yet these
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: people are what dominate the news. I don't think Mamdani
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: could have been elected ten years ago. I don't think
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Nick Foantis or Techer Carlson could hold the views that
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: they have and have a following the way they do
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: ten years ago. What has happened, I mean the bottom
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: line of this, and we'll get into the details of it,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: but the bottom line is that the intellectuals who at
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: the end of the day are the guardians of society.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, I van view them as the crucial the
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: crucial key, I mean the key to culture, to the
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: nature of a culture. The intellectuals, you know, at the
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: end of the day, got a culture against insane ideas
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: when they're good and elevate good ideas. At least that's
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: what good intellectuals do.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: They repress bad ideas.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: They serve as gatekeepers. I know it's not popular at gatekeepers,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: and in the world of the Internet and no other
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: social media, we have no gatekeepers, and maybe that's a
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: big part of what's going on. We have no gatekeepers.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: But the gatekeepers have failed. The gatekeepers have nothing to say,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: and I think this is the key intellectual class for
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: the last fifty years.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: And it's getting and it's gotten worse and worse and
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: worse over time.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Have had nothing to say. Americas are struggling. The economy
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: is not doing very well. People know that, right, I mean,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: I think the economy is doing a lot better than
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of people, but it's still not doing very well.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: And for a lot of people it's very frustrating. But
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: more than that, people feel like they lack meaning, they
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: lack purpose in their lives. They are clearly being led
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: to by the political class, and the intellectuals seem to
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: have in the past kind of supported those lives. And
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: maybe the most extreme case of that, I think in
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: recent history was nine to eleven. They were not told
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: the truth about nine to eleven. And I'm not talking
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: about some conspiracy, but they were not told the truth
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: about who really did it, like what had been Latin
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: actually represent, what is his ideas, who's behind him, who
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: supports him. They were not told the truth about Islam.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: They were not told the truth about islam Ism. And
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: then they were not told the truth about the financial crisis.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: They were not told the truth about what caused it.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: They mean lied to repeatedly. The intellectuals have lied to
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: them the politicians have lied to them, and of course
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: COVID just blew that up completely because the lies became
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: super evident. They were right in our faces. And you know,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: the state took on power and control in ways that
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: I don't think many Americans could have imagined was even
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: possible in this country.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: And people have. People have just given up.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: They've given up on the gatekeepers, they've given up on
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: the intellectuals, they've given up on what they do, and
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: they've gone directly to the source.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: Social media allows them to do that.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: You can go directly to anybody spouting an opinion, anybody
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: claiming to be reporting the news, anybody claiming to tell
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: you the truth. You go directly and evaluate it for yourself.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: No need for intellectuals. Basically, the American public has voted
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: to fire the intellectual class, and they deserve it, but
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: there's nothing to replace it. There's nothing to replace it.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: And the American public, given American educational system, given progressive education,
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: given the lack of thinking of reason, of rationality, giving
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: the embrace of emotion above all else, given what's taught
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: at universities, I'm sorry, but the American people are now
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: ready to be exposed directly to what is going on
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: in the world and to make judgments of it. They
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: just don't have the tools to do it. And the intellectuals
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: are not giving them the tools. They're giving them the opposite.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: So if you go to university, talk about the more
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: educated classes. If you go to university, what are you at?
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: You get identitarian theory, you get racism. You get racism
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: couched as sophistic social thinking or philosophy, whether it's post
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: colonialism colonialism, or whether it's identitarianism, or whether it's intersectionality.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: You get secularized, you know, altruism, Christian altruism, secularized and
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: put on theoids in the name of collectivism and tribalism.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: And you go to university and you get educated, and
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: you come out of it, and then you go on
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: social media, you go read the news, and it's easy
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: to radicalize you. Whether to the left or to the right,
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter because what they have taught you is
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: the basis for both.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: As we'll see.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: As I think is quite evident, there's not a lot
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: of different between Nick foyints and zor On Mamdani. They
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: hate the same thing. They hate America, the hit Western civilization.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: They hate Jews, the hit Israe, and they hate capitalism. God,
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: if you see Nick Foyintis go off on capitalism, what
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: difference is there? I mean, zamam Nani is a little
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: bit more honest in that he pretends to have solutions.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Nick Pointus has and doesn't pretend to have solutions. He
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: just tells us about what is wrong with the world.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: And you know, if we just you know, make America
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: great again, everything will be fine.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: How do you do that?
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: He has no clue.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: So if you go to university, you get a.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: Pseudo sophisticated version of the Futis and the Mamdani's of
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: the world.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: And indeed, if.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: You look at who voted for Mamnani, I mean the
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: one overwhelming he wins, the one place where he wins
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: overwhelmingly is with college educated those who are college educated, young,
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: college educated men and women voted overwhelmingly Mamdani because.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: College prepares you for that.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's a sense in which socialism is a
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: more pseudo intellectual you know, it's it's Nick Foydus and
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Mumdannia are the same. But Mamdani appeals to educated people
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: and Nick Foydus, you know, appeals to uneducated people.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: That's the difference.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: The left and the right are the same. Left and
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: the right are the same. The left just appeals. It
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: uses language, it has theory, you know, and it appeals
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: to the pseudo intellectuals of the left, the people who've
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: gone through the universities, gone through the humanities programs, the
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: nick Foids of the world. Appeals to the row emotion
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: of the uneducated. There's no pretense of a theory. America first,
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: that's it America first. Well, you know what does that mean?
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: How do you interpret that? How do you what is America?
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: Who decides none of that matters. Just yell at the microphone,
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: give Nazi salutes, you know, adore Hitler, because I mean
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: Hitler was, as Nick Fointer says, it was cool. And
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: and and while while just constantly about what emotionalists have
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: always wild against, which is the Jew? And and the
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: best representation of the Jew right now is Israel. So
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: it's two versions of the same basic ideology, one couched
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: and sophisticated academic terms, and one just raw emotion for
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: the uneducated. And and and the biggest differentiation now between
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: the left and right is the level of education. They
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: don't even disagree on that many issues, it's just the
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: way in which they disagree, the way in which they
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: justify the cause is different. So one of the so
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: what we have is is is people who go through
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: our educational system go through UH schooling and they learn
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: very little. They know very little. They're not taught to
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: use their minds. They're not taught to use their minds,
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: and that they're taught to feel. It's how to respond emotionally,
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: to stimulate, and that's it. So the intellectuals at the
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: universities are just fueling this with evil ideology. The intellectuals
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: online who try to make any kind of rational approach,
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: like the many economists online who criticize Trump or criticize
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: Bidens policies and so on, gain no very little traction
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: because they're not appealing to what people want, which is,
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: you know, emotion, pure emotion, and they're not doing it
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: in terms of the people now understand identity politics. And
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: of course social media allows us, all of us to
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: voice our opinions anytime anyway.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: And accumulate following.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: And you know, as lay as we can get a
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: large group of people following us, you know a million people,
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: well of a million people follow Nick foyt is, maybe
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: it's much larger. And now after they Tucker Costs and appearance,
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: millions follow Candice Owns, who's completely nuts. While anybody would
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: subscribe to a channel, anybody watch what she has to say,
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: even as pure entertainment is absurd and ridiculous. When anybody
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: watches tucka, I do not understand, given how insane he
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: has become, and yet they have millions of people following,
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: and that millions of people are following because they appeal
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: to exactly what those millions of people are looking for.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: They appeal to anger, they appeal to hate, they appeal
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: to fear, and that is what driving the conversation today
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: in America. Anger, fear, hate, and social media makes it
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: possible for anybody to say anything anytime, to relate an audience.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: Thus become a thing right that everybody has to engage with,
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: like nobody would even think about platforming Nique foyintis if
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: he didn't have a million followers, and thus we descend
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: to the lowest common denominator. I mean, Twitter is a
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: place where the lowest common denominator dominates, dominates, and intellectuals,
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: the better ones on the sidelines looking in and and
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: and they kind of if they don't know what to do,
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: they do not what to do. They do not want
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: to know what to do. Hm and they and they
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: have nothing to offer, I mean and a thing. They
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: have nothing to offer, I mean at the end, Ben
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: Shapiro is nothing to offer.
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: What has he got?
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: You know, uh rehash Judaism because it's at the core.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: What is lacking is an is a moral code at
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: the call.
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: What is lacking is purpose and meaning at the call.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: What is lacking is a real political philosophy, a moral
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: and political philosophy that can inspire and can write people
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: towards a better future in their personal lives and as
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: you know, as a society. But and they have nothing
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: over what So what is Joanah Goldberg who I like
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: posts a lot of interesting things? What is Ben Shapiro,
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: who I like post a lot of interesting things?
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: What do they have to offer? Like my old Christianity.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: And my old Judaism, well, lots of al Judaism and
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: kind of a you know, softball defense of some aspects
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: of capitalism but not too much, and and some defense
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: of the funny fathers, but.
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: Not too much, because after all, they were a little
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: too secular for us.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: What, Indie do they stand for? And when it comes
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: to meaning and purpose? What can they give God? Make
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: your bed stand up straight? Search for meaning? Out there?
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: The same cliches that are meaningless and and and people
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: have given up on. They get large followings, but they're
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: not going to change the world. Good. All right, I've
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: had it with Adam, who seems to be here just
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: to insult you guys. All right, my tolerance for assholes
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: on the chat has become very low. I don't know
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: it's become very low. Seeing selections that exist have nothing
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: to offer, nothing new, nothing exciting, nothing motivating, nothing radical,
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: the centrists, the moderates. So what is the solution, you
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: might ask. I mean, the solution is, as always, it's
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: a long run solution. It's a long term solution. It's
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: to be rare. We need to find a way to
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: make capitalism exciting, to make the advocacy of self interest cool.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, we are the ultimate in terms of rebellion
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: that teenagers and young people want engage in.
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: We're they're ultimately in rebellion. We reject two.
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: Thousand year morality. We reject, you know, basically the economic
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: system of mankind has experimented with for thousands of years.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: We want something new, different, exciting. Not they'll watch of
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: a mixed economy, neither here nor their bs that exists today,
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: and solely not the socialism or communism of the left,
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: which we know exactly what it leads to. We want
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: something completely new, something that we had a glimpse of
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: in the nineteenth century and maybe in a few places
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: in the twentieth century, that has never been made a
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: reality ever actually come to fruition. We want capitalism, We
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: want real freedom. Where they're radicals, not Nick Frantis. Nic
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: Finis is, like you know, Nick Fointis is the same
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: garbage that human beings have been spewing for thousands of years.
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: In that sense, he's anti American because he's he doesn't
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: embrace the revolution there was America. What does the document
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: say all men are created equal, endowed in aliable rights.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: I mean that is not Tucker Coulson, that is not
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: Nick Fointis, That is not anybody today on the right.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: We reject the tribalism and collectivism, all these characters. So
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: what is the solution. Where solution is to be more
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: radical than ever. The solution is to stand up for
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: ideas stronger and more vocal than ever. The solution is
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: to take advantage of the complete bankruptcy of the current intellectuals,
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: to condemn the rights and the left and the center
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: and offer something positive, a vision, a vision of life,
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: a vision of living for oneself, a vision of pursuing
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: real values, life affirming values, rational values. We need to
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: become and we need to become much more vocal about
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: reason as being our basic as our means to know
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: the world, to understand the world, and to choose our values.
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: So you know this is nothing new to most of you.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: We need to.
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: Be principled, loud, aggressive advocates in every forum we can
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: a reason of self interest and of capitalism.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: Not to be you know, pro Trump or pro you know,
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: pro the middle of the road, or pro anybody in
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: the current political world. We are radical, So we need
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: to reject the status quo, reject the convention, reject the left,
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: reject the right, and reject the center. We're individualists. None
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: of those people are. Maybe some people in the center
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: you think of theirselves as centrist are mildly individualists, but
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: we are real individuals. Were radical individualists, yeah, public says
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: aggressive radical sounds like have you metal? Yeah, if you
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: want to use heavy metal, use heavy metal. Any means
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: to get our word out there, any means to offer
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: the world an alternative to the garbage that's been offered
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: to them today. We're not anarchists, were guided by reason.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: We're not anarchists. We believe in capitalism. But god do
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: we reject the Fuentises, the Tuckers, the Owens, the Mamdani's,
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: the socialists, the leftists, the rightists, the whole gamut of them.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: We need objectivism and we need to get the value,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: use the ideas, the principles of objectivism out there into
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: the world.
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: That is the solution. There is no and there's no shortcut.
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: There's no you know, moderate way of doing it. And
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: the problem with you know, the problem with it is
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: we have to do it in a way that projects reason, individualism,
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: anti tribalism. We need to be attacking our left and
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: our right and the back in the front.
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: It's hard, it's hard, but.
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: We need to keep doing it.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: And I, you know, I don't have any easy solutions
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: for you, guys, I don't have anything that you can
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: you know, go and do today, other than if you're
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: on social media, use social media, stay your views, make
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: your case. Even if you have to be anonymous of
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: social media, if you enjoy doing in social media, do it.
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: Talk to people. I mean again, the world is sinking.
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: This is not a time to be silent. This is
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: not a time to say I'm busy. It's a fight.
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: It's a real fight. Use whatever tools you have, you know,
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: subscribe to sponsor this show like Alex. People talk about
• 57:38

• 57:43
  Speaker 1: every tool that we have. So find your voices, make
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: yourself heard. I mean, think about how Vinick for Intance
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: group is all over the place, or the Mamdani Mumdanni
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: socialists left us all over the place. Well, we need
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: to make we're smaller and before we need to yell louder,
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: we need everybody to be involved and engaged.
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: Which means support AARI.
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: I'm an institute, Support the show, support Alex, support the
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: people who are doing the work to get it out. Then,
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: and you might notice that a lot of AOI intellectuals
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: now like like Augustina and like Nikos have their own substacks,
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: have their own YouTube channels, So support them. Make sure
• 58:35

  Speaker 1: Now go subscribe to all those substacks, reinforce their messaging
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: on social media, subscribe to the YouTube channel, support them financially.
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: And if we're going to build a move and movement
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: that's going to change things. And now's the time because
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: never has the left and right being so disgustingly horrific,
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: Never have they been so tribal, Never have they been
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: so irrational, Never have they been so I think vulnerable
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: to reason irrationality. So go on those platforms, use those platforms,
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: support the good guys, and you know, let's change the

  Speaker 1: getting the wood out there, trying to trying to overthrow
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: these bastards, trying to become more bigger and more influential
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: and more substantial than them, using reason instead of emotions.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: Got to get out there, got to do the work.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: Right. You got to fight. Wait, what option is there?
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: Islam is not the threat. Islam is growing slowly. The
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: threat is that is socialism and fascism.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: That's the threat.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: Islam for for Americans is an inconvenience. For Europeans, this
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: is existential, but for Americans it's just a It's an inconvenience.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: All right, that is my spiel for today.

• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: But don't be insufferable. Don't be insufferable. And I know
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: being in suffer gains attention and gains you more followers,
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: but it's it's too strong of an appeal to emotion
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: to help a movement based on reason actually grow and
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: actually be successful. Now of course, you know, yeah, live

• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: there in the world. Support us, support us. All right,
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: let's see, all right, Uh, let's jump in. We've got
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: a bunch of questions. I thanked, I think all my
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: stick of people, and uh, let's with John. A few
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: shows ago you mentioned you were reading a book on
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: the Islamic Golden Age, but I don't remember if you
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: said the title, is it Lost Enlightenment.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: I read that one.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: It's great.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: Thanks. Let me, I'll tell you right now what the
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: title is. It's truly good. I'm really enjoying it.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: And it's a lot of content which I was not
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: familiar with. So this is about not just the the
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: Islamic Enlightenment, but the Islamic Enlightenment in Central Asia, which
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize. I thought they they enlighten the Islamic
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: Golden Age was basically in Baghdad and maybe in in
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: Andalusia in southern Spain. But this is all about the
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: fact and and the fact that it was in Central Asia.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: And yes, it's called Lost Enlightenment. Uh and it's by
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: uh god, they've got they've got the the name of
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: the author obscured, but it's Lost Enlightenment. Central Asia's Golden
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: Age from the Arab conquest to the Tamalane to Tamilane.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: So it's all the way from from you know, from
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: the from the pre Islamic era.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: All the way.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: It describes the history all the way through the past
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: among all invasions, and again I highly recommend that you
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: that you eat it and uh and get you know,
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: it's it's fascinating the extent of which Central Asia, Buchal
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: in Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Afghanistan, the geography of where Afghanish studies
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: today that was a thriving place, dramatically, hugely, humongously more
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: advanced than Europe was at the time, which you know,
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: it's just shocking and it shows you like we talk
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: about the Dark Ages in Europe, but there's a sense
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: of which the Dark Ages of Islam are much much worse.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, because the Golden Age of Islam, or at
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: least the Golden Age of Islam in Central Asia ended
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: around the turn of the first millennium, so we're talking
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: about maybe eleven hundred, so it's almost a thousand years
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: of dark ages that they've experienced, which is actually similar
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: to the Western Dark Ages, right four hundred to fourteen hundred.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, unbelievable the power of ideas and how giving
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: up on Greek ideas just destroys the culture, destroys the world.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: And there's a senition what you're seeing it right now.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, what is mcdonnie and Nick foyints really represented,
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: Tecker Carson really represent They represent giving up in Greece,
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: giving up an Aristotle, giving up in the Enlightenment, giving
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: up in the Funding Fathers, and in that sense, moving
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: us ever closer to our own kind of dark ages.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: That's what we're fighting, all right, Thanks John, Andrew Judge
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: Will said something like every twenty years American needs to
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: experiment with socialism to see it doesn't work. There may
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: be truth to that, but ultimately socialism will hold if
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: underlying ideas aren't challenged. Yeah, but where has this experiment
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: actually happened? I mean, we haven't had socialism, not out
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: and out socialism. And yes, once in a while we
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: get somebody like McGovern in seventy two, who was you know,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: far out the leftist who who lost that election by
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: a landslide. I mean, Nixon did better than Trump. But
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: Trump's election is always the greatest and best in all
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: of human history. I see radio Zalza is doing a
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: fantastic job on showing Steve McCown that he is completely
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: wrong about the Israeli Palestinian conflict. So Radio Gopher it.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's the kind of advocacy we need. He's
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: got the facts on his side, he's got morality in
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: his side. But he knows his history, which is good,
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: which is good. So I'm just I'm just observing the chat.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not reading everything, and certainly not in detail, but yeah,
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: this is good. This is take him out. Take him
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: out with logic and facts, history, actual knowledge. Wow, Antonio,
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: thank you for the stickup. I really appreciate that. So look,
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: the challenge is that people don't learn. I mean people say, oh, yes,
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: New York will experience socialism now, and a leon that
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: socialism won't work. I mean, I'll be debating a guy
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: next week who will tell you constantly, no, that's not socialism.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: Didn't work.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: You know, it didn't work because it's not real socialism.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: Real socialism is this, and they'll always find an excuse,
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: they'll always justify it, and the American people will always
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: buy into it. Partially, and here this is important to note,
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: right positively out of a real frustration. The mixed economy sucks.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: I think that's a technical term. The mix economy sucks.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: The mixed economy does not provide the kind of opportunities
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: this should be available to individuals. The mixed economy does
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: not provide the inspiration that capitalism would provide to people.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: The mixed economy is, eh, mixed. Some people do very
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: very well in it, many people don't, and most people
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: don't make the most of it. Spiritually, they feel frustrated
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: by it because, you know, ideologically capitalism is evil and
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: nasty and selfish and self interested, and yet.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: They're expected to participate in it and benefit from it.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: And they do, but they don't feel right about it
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: because ultimately the system itself is not very good. And
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: so yeah, I mean, I think that this is as
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: long as we're not willing to challenge ultru as long
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: as we're out willing to challenge the idea of sacrifice,
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: it's non we're out willing to challenge the idea sacrificing
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: some to others as being moral. We're not willing to,
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: you know, challenge the idea that you know that uh,
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: govern should stay out of the economy completely. You know,
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: we can't win just to be a little bit more
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: for freedom within a mixed economy is not inspiring.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: And not going to get anyway, not going to get
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: us anywhere.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: So yeah, socialism keeps coming back because it's the only
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: political system consistent with the morality that most people hold,
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: and the morality there really goes unchallenged by the world
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: in which we live, by the society in which we live. Oh,
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: even I went on vacation to Singapore and Australia. Have
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: to say Singapore is incredible, giving me some gold gulch vibe. Yes,
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: maybe some drawbacks I'm not familiar with, but truly incredible
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: energy and fantastic buildings. Yes, I mean Singapore is a
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: is a beautiful place. It's relatively from an economic perspectives,
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: the most free place and planet Earth. It's you know,
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: if you value your free speech, it's not particularly free
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: and uh and you and you have to be careful.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: They're careful about criticizing the government and criticizing those good
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: run things. They are parts of its economy that are
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: not free at all. For example, real estate. Almost all
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: housing in Singapore's government owned, so there are there are
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: aspects of it that are problematic and unfree. They are
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: really horrific laws. You know, death penalty for drug dealers.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: You know, you might get cained for throwing gum in
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: the street, but you know the consequence of that is
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: not much drugs uh out in the streets and in
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: the streets are very clean, but the kind of disproportion
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: between the crime and the punishment is quite extreme. So yeah,
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm Singapore is an amazing place. It should
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: definitely be on the list of places to consider to
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: go live in a world filled with mixed economies and
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: mixed political systems. You know, Singapore is a.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: Pretty good deal.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: It is a pretty good deal in comparison to what's
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: available in most other places. Thank you all even thanks
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: for the support. Appreciated.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 2: All right, Ali, Ali, Ali, who I owe a book
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: review to?
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: I remember which one was? Which one was better evil?
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: You can't have a better evil? Which one was more evil?
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: Maybe Hitlo Stalin? Should the West have cided with Germany
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: against the USSL? Well, no, no, no, you don't side
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: with evil, And certainly the immediate threat to the United States,
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: the immediate threat to Western civilization, the media threat to
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: Great Britain, was not Stalin Stalin did not have ambitions
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: in terms of, you know, invading Western Europe, you know,
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: going to war against England, or going to war even
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: against the United States. Stalin and Russia was too poor
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: at the time, too weak at the time to think
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: about those kind of adventures. Hitler was the immediate threat,
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: So you had to start with Hitler. You know, Russia
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: did not invade Western Europe. Russia did not invade and
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: did not attack the United States directly. So while Stalin
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: and Hitler, I don't know, equally evil, Hitler I think,
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: in some respects more so, more systematic, more thoughtful, more
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: in his approach to extermination, and his and more megalomaniac
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: in a sense of wanting to rule the world and
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: believing he could. But there's no question the West had
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: to side, had to shouldn't have put it this way.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: The West shouldn't have sided with anybody. This was on
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: man's view. It shouldn't have sided with Stalin. It should
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: have let Stalin and Hitler beat each other up forever,
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: for as long as it took. But the West should
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: have united, in my view, around Great Britain to defend
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: Great Britain and to beat back the Nazis from the West,
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: and suddenly after Bulhava, the United States should have entered
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: the war, and the only side the United States could
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: enter the war was the anti Nazis side. Now, I
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: don't think the US should supplied weapons to the Soviets.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: I don't think they should have given them food. I
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: don't think they should have helped them in any way
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: other than by fighting Hitler.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: On the western front.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: That would have slowed the Soviets down, but the end
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: result would have been the same, and the fact that
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: they would have still been occupying the Nazis on the east.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: It just would have resulted in probably the West Western
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: European forces taking Eastern Europe, you know, Czech Republic and
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: Hungary and Poland.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: And not letting them fall to the Soviets.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: But both Headline Stalin and unbelievably evil Stalin probably murdered
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: more people, or will put it that other way, was
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: responsible for the death of more people, But they were
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: both in the tens of millions of people, and of
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: course Stalin had a longer period of time in which
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: to do it.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: So there's no question the West should have cited.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: With Great Britain in fighting the Nazis, and then if necessary,
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: you fight Stalin and the communists. But the imminent threat,
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: the immediate threat, the people who were developing, you know,
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: the missile systems that that would you know, try to
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: destroy London and could potentially have been built to try
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: to reach America were the Nazis. And they were they
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: were the ones that needed to be taken care of.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: And again you didn't have to ally yourself with the
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: Soviets to do it. So you never, in my view,
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: farm policy, my view, and pharm policy, you never align
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: yourself with evil. You don't have allies who are communists
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: of fascists. Your allies are your friends and they have
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: to be at least somewhat free. No, I mean, god,
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: some people are very confused online, right, Yeah, Greg is
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: a weirdo. I agree with that that that is a
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: weird statement from Greg Online. He says, Gandhi Hitler, Stalin
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: and Tenieo Callegria. I don't know who that is all
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: part of the same person. No, that's all the same
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: type of person. It's it's absolutely not true. That is bizarre, ridiculous.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: It's yeah, bizarre ridiculous. I mean, I'm not a fan
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: of in the tennial. But to put an Antenna in
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: that league, or to put Gandhi in that league, is ridiculous.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of Gandhi's either, but to put
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: them in that league, to put the you know, neither
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: one of them is evil in the same sense as
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: Hitler installin are evil. All right, Greg turns out to
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: be a.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: Nativists. Okay, not surprising, Okay, Ali.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: Many people who strongly identify with tribal or public causes,
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: whether political, cultural, or social, often do so to compensate
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: for lack of personal grouping or fulfillment individual level. I
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: think absolutely right. You know, I've always said that, look
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: what leads people towards tribalism, it's when they do not
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: have the confidence in their own reasoning capabilities to discover
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: truth for themselves, to live for themselves, to establish a flourishing,
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: successful life for themselves, and then in order to seek
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: protection because they're afraid to face reality on their.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: Own terms using their own mind.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: As independent thinkers, they gravitate towards a group. They gravitate
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: towards a leader to do their thinking for them. So
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: it is absolutely the case that you know, tribalism and
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: you know, and collectivism appealing to those who will not
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: cannot refuse to become independent thinkers. As we diminish reason,
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: elevate emotions, we diminish man's capacity to deal with the
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: world around him, we elevate collectivism. The more people gravitate
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: towards collectivism. Collectivism is the solution for people who can't
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: think for themselves. They want other people to do the
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: thinking for them. And the more we denounce reason, the
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: less we teach people how to use their mind, how
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: to reason, the more they will gravitate towards a leader
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: and towards a group. The group makes them feel safe,
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: makes them feel like somebody will tell them what to
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: do and how to live a late What is the
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: problem with fascist regime which enforces objectivism and reason? Well,
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: by definition, a faccist regime cannot enforce objectivism and reason.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: Fascist regiem is a regime that uses four It is
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: humans users forced to regulate business to to to. It
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: is a business by permission rather than by independence, and
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: it regulates our individual behavior. So fascism is a system
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: that rejects reason. It rejects reason as a faculty of
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: the individual, rejects you know, individuals pursuing their own values.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: Fascists will tell you what values to pursue, so it's
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: a contradiction. Fascism is a system in which the means
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: of production are controlled by the state, and the state
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: dictates the values that.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: Individuals should pursue.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: So, by definition, it is a rejection of individualism, a
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: rejection of freedom, a rejection of reason. And you can't
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: enforce reason. You can't enforce objectivism. Objectivism is a philosophy
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: that only individuals, that individuals need to live by. Right.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: You can't even enforce capitalism. What you can do is
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: enforce laws that protect property rights. But capitalism is the
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: system that flows from enforcing the laws to protect property
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: rights consistently. All right, ugh, on not real socialism argument.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: On the not real socialism argument, Jamie says Left always
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: says Sanders wouldn't be mause stylin And that may be true.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: But can't you talk about the politics policies that cause
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: death in USSR, China and others, and how close to
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: Sander's proposals they are. I mean, yeah, I mean, uh,
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: Just to give you a sense, Sanders did support the
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: policies of Chavez in Venezuela, which led to death and
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: starvation and and and and led to.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 2: The complete destruction of the Venezuela and economy.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: And we're seeing we're seeing that in the world, in
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: the world in which we live today. So you know, suddenly, suddenly, uh,
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: Sanders are supported regimes and supported policies that have led
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: to the death of destruction that communism, socialism, uh you
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: know uses uh. By the way, if you want to comment,
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: if you want to challenge me, if you want to
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: disagree with me, if you want to ask me questions,
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: if you want me to comment on something, there's something
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: called the super chat feature, which most people are using.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: But there's one or two or three or four or
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: five of you who just want to spout off you
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: on what about this, stop doing this, stop doing that?
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: What about that? On the chat? Well, if you want
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: my response, if you want me to actually respond rather
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: than just blow you off, then use the super chet
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: feature like everybody else.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: Like you had a time, you could do that, old Greg,
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 2: you could do that.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, what Sanders actually do Sanders does not believe
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: you know, it's hard to tell what Sanders would actually do.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: You would raise taxes on the rich. He would like
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: to have a wealth tax. Does he want to nationalize industries?
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: Probably not. Probably couldn't get away with it. Maybe you
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: would like to do some but not others. What do
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: you want to collectivize farming in America? Probably not.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, the reality is that most of the death.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: That was caused in like Ukraine under Stalin, in Venezuela,
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: and certainly under Mao was the consequence of collectivization of farming.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: When you collectivize farming, you bring about starvation because you
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: just don't produce enough food.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: Would Sanders want to do that? Probably not.
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: He would do a bunch of half measures that were
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: leading us in that direction, price controls, maybe there were
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: destroy markets. He would I mean, to the extent that
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: he was allowed to do and wasn't controlled stopped by Congress.
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: We would have an incredibly destructive economy. We would have
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: ever growing, you know, poverty, We would have a brain drain,
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: people leaving the country. We would have capital flight and
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 1: entrepreneurship collapsing. So it would be an unmans gated disaster.
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: You wouldn't quite have the death and destruction of the
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: Soviet Union because he wouldn't go all out into nationalizing
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: and all the industries and nationalizing farming, and I don't
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: know that he would establish the gulags.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 2: For people he didn't like and didn't agree with.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: All right, we are still about one hundred and eleven
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: dollars short of our second hour goal. So I'm just
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: remaining you and encouraging you to ask a question or
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: do a sticker, but help us get to that goal.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: I see Adam has jumped in with a twenty dollars question,
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: so that helps a lot.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 2: So that brings the.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: Goal more into less than one hundred dollars. Now, so
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: we're less than one hundred dollars away from that goal,
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: so only ninety one dollars. Another five dollars coming in
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: from Jacob.
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 2: So less than that.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: So keep it coming and hopefully we can make the
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: five hundred dollars goal for the second hour. Adam says,
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: compare culture broadly Aristatilian Israel, mimonodes poland a quinas versus
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: pragmatic anglophile, kantient German versus also giving Empire no objective's place,
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: yet is broadly Aristatilian the best for now? Yeah, I mean,
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: I think you're way too positive on Israel, you know,
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Is Poland really guided by Thomas Aquinas.
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: I'm skeptical. Is the Anglos fe're purely pragmatic? Well it
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: is right now, yes, but it didn't get to here
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: with that.
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And is Germany contient to what extent? Is it
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 2: actually pragmatic?
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I don't know. I don't know if I would
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: even categorize culture is like that. I mean, look, Israel
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: is a very mixed place. I mean, if we're not
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: talking about Israel is competiti to the Palestinians, if we're
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: not talking about defending Israel, you know, compared to its neighbors,
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: and defending Israel from from policy perspective, Israel is a.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 2: Very mixed place. Collectivism is prevalent.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: My monodes, I mean, monor of these was very mixed,
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: remember my monodes.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he.
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: Advocated for reason, rationality, but the consequence of that was
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: PRIMALI rationalistic kind of scholastic discussions about every passage in
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: the Talmud rather than liberty and freedom and individualism. And
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: the reality is with my monodes that he also gives
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: us what five hundred and fifty three commandments the Jews
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: are supposed to follow. So my monodies is responsible for
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: kind of the ultra Orthodox following a rigid set of commandments, right, So,
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: so as well as a it's clearly a very mixed case.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: It's it's a Western country. It's a pro Western country
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: that represents many, you know, good ideas and and suddenly
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: in the area of science technology there is a strong
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: Ristatilian streak. But in terms of government, it's a you know,
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: mixed economy tilted towards statism. From a cultural perspective, it
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: is it is still heavily collectivistic uh and uh and
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: and religion, both in its Messianic form and its ultra
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: Orthodox form of Barbaric and primitive and particularly the ultra
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: Orthodox from particularly barbaric and primitive. Right. So, so, I
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: don't consider Israel Aristatilian anymore than I think America is Aristotilian.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: It's it's a mixed bag, a pragmatism and some Aristotilianism
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: and a lot of Kantianism. I mean, Israeli academia is
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: dominated by kant It's dominated by German Romantics. It is
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 1: Neo Kantians who founded the major universities in Israel and
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: have had a profound impact on it. On the humanities.
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: You know, I think a lot of the work ideology
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: was very common in Israel, So Israel's not exactly a
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 1: paradigm of Aristotilian culture. I don't know enough about Poland.
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: I just was in you know, crackout. Poland's a you know,
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: it has benefited almostly from the fact that it was
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: liberalized in the nineteen nineties, that went through a period
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: of economic liberalization and moved it towards closer to a freemark.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: It's still benefiting from now those liberalizations. There's not you know,
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: and there's some liberalization. This happened since then, but the
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: big push was in the nineteen nineties. But paul And
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: also has a pretty regimented in and oppressive legal system
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: that as far as I can tell, that kind of
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: the right wing installed. It has a you know, media
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: that's way too close to politics, to the political parties.
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: It's doing well, but it's not blowing it out of
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: the water. And yeah, I mean, I don't know that
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: I would associate with Aquinas. Yes, there, they tend to
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: be Catholic there, although everybody who everybody who spoke to
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: in Crackhouse said that the younger generation, both on the
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: left and on the right is significantly less Catholic than
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: previous generations were. No question. You know, I don't know
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: if you could say today that the UK is is pragmatic.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: The UK is basically just selling out. It's uh it
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: is uh basically dominated by a guilt, guilt for the
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 1: British Empire and dominated by uh a by a what
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: do you call it?
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 2: By the It's dominated by the left, one way or
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 2: the other.
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: Because even even the the Nativists are basically leftists in
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: the UK, just as native as so in most places,
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: they tend to be uh leftists. And yeah, I mean,
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: uh so England is in one place. I think America
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: is much bigger, much more diverse. Uh. And again it's
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: intellectuals that dominated by post what do you call it, uh,
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: by postmodern philosophy. Uh so, a post contient kind of uh,
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: post Marxist kind of ideology. But yeah so. And uh Germany,
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: you know, Germany's rigid. It's still rigid, it's got it's
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: still got the continent mentality. It's still a rigid society,
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: again dominated primarily by the left. Everything is a response
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: to the left. Uh So, a rigid, a more rigid culture,
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: more contient culture. But they're all mixtures of everything, and
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: and suddenly they None of these cultures will be doing
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 1: well at all if they weren't elements of Aristotelianism in them,
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: and they would all be doing a lot better if
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: they weren't elements of Kantianism in there. I don't know.
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 2: It's the best I can do on the fly.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 1: Jamie, a fan, recently said how upset he was with
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: the gentrification of small town he works in and how
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: it pushed out longtime residents. Can you talk a little
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: bit about gentrification and its pros cons and is it
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: a problem? I mean, it's a problem only if you
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: believe that stagnation is good, right, you know, any criticism
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: of gentrification is an elevation of stagnation. It basically believes
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: that things should be the way they've always been, that
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: things should be the way the past is dictated, the
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: change is bad, that progress is bad, and that people
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 1: should be rewarded or protected because they choose to stagnate.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, gentrification is a process of progress. It's a
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 1: process of people coming in and then improving a place,
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: and so it's an overwhelmingly positive I can't think of
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: any negatives other than it shakes up and forces people
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: who are stagnant to change and to move. So so
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: it's you know, the everybody benefits at the end of
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 1: the day of gentification if you really think about it.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: The people are moving out, are getting are getting much
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: higher if they own the place, are getting much higher
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: prices on their property than they would without the gentification. Right,
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 1: the property values go up significantly. Now, if you're renting
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: and the area's being gentrified, you have to move, but
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: you know, worse off of that other than you have
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 1: to move, but you never you have a right to
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: stay in a place that you're renting indefinitely. So no,
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 1: there's zero problem with gentrification unless you elevate stagnation to
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: a value, and stagnation is a vice, not a value.
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: The stand in place is to die, all right. Just
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: for those of you knew, I guess.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 2: Old Greg is.
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he's old, and I don't know
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: if he's Greg, but he doesn't know. He just gave
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: ten dollars you right, say you're on I heard you
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 1: asked one hundred dollars stickers and begging donations by yourself
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: a coupa on me and you need the money more
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: than your viewers do. I guess so, so he's insulting
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: you is insulting me. But as I said, I read
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: everything that's put up there. If you want to meet,
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: to engage with you, you have to ask questions. You
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: have to ask questions in the super chat and they
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: will be answered in the order they're submitted, or if
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: you ask above twenty dollars question, they get priority. So
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: money speaks the momenty you put in a question, the
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: sooner I answer it. But just making a comment there
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: is not gonna is not gonna get me to engage
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: with you in the chat. You have to engage in
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: the super chat. You have to engage by asking actual questions.
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: And as you can see, you can ask more than
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: one question. You could respond to my answer, but you
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: have to put a dollar amount to them, just the
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: way we run things at the One book show. You
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 1: don't have to like it. I don't really care, but
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 1: that is the story. I appreciate you doing the ten dollars.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: I don't appreciate the insults, but that's okay. You're allowed
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 1: to insult me if you pay. All right, Jonathan, you
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 1: are great with the hecla in Lisbon. I appreciate that.
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 1: I wish I was as good with the hecklers here
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: in the chat. I think I did better in Lisbon,
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 1: at least my audience in Lisbon. They basically, you know,
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: push the guy out of the room, and some of
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: the hecklers I pushed out of the room by by
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: blocking them. But I guess when you put Fuantas and
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 1: Tucker into the title, you know you have to expect
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: to get a few irrational trolls to come about, all right,
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: rational ip I registered. I registered for iinnrand Con Europe.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: Flight and hotels are booked as well. Really looking forward
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: to it. Currently reading the Fountain it excellent. Yeah, and
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: I think the hotel is the Renaissance in Poto, which
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: is a nice business hotel. I think you'll like it
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: and very comfortable and the confidence should be a blast.
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 1: Looking forward to meeting you, rational ip Nick. Interestingly, Zoron
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 1: acknowledged housing needs to be needs to be deregulated. Maybe
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: listen to YBS no redistribution when there is nothing to redistribute. Yeah,
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: but he also wants he also wants rent control, so
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 1: he wants to deregulate new housing and he wants rent control,
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: so he wants that. He wants to mix mix, And
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 1: I think he's been influenced by not by me, he's
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 1: been influenced by Yes in my Backyard YIMBI, which is
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 1: a movement on the center left which is advocating for
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: eliminating restriction on building houses all over the country, some
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: more rational approach to the housing problem. Thomas, thanks for
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 1: saving me from intellectual spiritual hell of end cap and
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 1: introducing me to objectivism. I now have a job as
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: a banker with the end goal of teaching any advice
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 1: for a twenty one year old Oh, with the end
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 1: goal of teaching any advice for twenty one year old objectives.
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 2: God, I mean you are on the right path.
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 1: You've got a good job, you got a good paying job.
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, keep keep learning, keep studying, don't don't give
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: up on studying. Don't ever suggest potent to yourself that
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 1: you know it all. Both in the field in which
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 1: you're making a career banking, There's so much to learn,
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 1: there's always so much to grow, And in terms of objectivism,
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 1: there's so much more to learn.
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 2: There's so much more to grow.
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: So I'd say, keep learning, keep integrating, keep being engaged.
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 1: And I don't know what you want to teach and
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: where you want to teach, but yeah, figure out how
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: how ultimately you want to make that transition from banking
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 1: into into teaching. But it's it's doable. I know a
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 1: number of people who have done it, and it's it's
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: super exciting.
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 2: Jamie. Thank you, Thomas.
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: Also, Jeremy Bowing apparently had a lot of nice things
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: to say about Fuentes a few years back.
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 2: How Daily Wire is still together?
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: No clue. I hadn't heard heard that Jeremy was one
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 1: of the found it was the co founder with Ben
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: Shapiro of.
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 2: The Daily Wire.
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that he had nice things to say
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: about for intes go figure. I mean, yeah, I mean
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: even when they seem reasonable, it turns out that some
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: of these people are on nutcases. Jamie says Sam. This
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: is like third twenty Canadian dollar question from Jamie.
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 2: So thank you Jamie.
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 1: Today, same seed, as said on PbD show, tax rate
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 1: should be ninety plus percent plus like a fifty sixties
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 1: plus like in the fifties and sixties. Not the revenue,
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: but so employees would invest in labor expense instead of
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 1: paying it in tax This seems so backward to me.
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 2: Can you debunk.
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 1: So employers would invest in labor expense instead of paying taxes.
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 1: I don't understand it either. I don't know what I
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: don't know what he meant by that. But you know,
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: nobody actually paid ninety percent of taxes in the fifties
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 1: and sixties. I mean, the interesting thing is the effective
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 1: tax rate, the tax rate people actually pay, is actually
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 1: higher today than it was in the fifties and sixties.
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 1: Even even at the top bracket. There were so many exclusions,
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 1: so many deductions, so many ways around it, that almost
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 1: neverty nobody actually paid it. There were a ton and
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 1: ton and ton of loopholes by doing that. But I'm
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 1: not sure if he means that ninety percent tax right
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 1: should be an individual should be in corporations, you know,
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 1: if they spend it on other things.
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 2: Like investment.
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'd have to figure out exactly what
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 1: he said and then debunk it, because otherwise it's too floating.
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 1: And so did you see Stephen Moore resigning from Heritage?
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's good. I like Stephen Moore. I mean, I
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 2: liked Stephen Moore except for the.
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 1: Period where he sold out and went to work for
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: the Trump administration and and talk to Trump talking points
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 1: even though he knew they were wrong. Stephen Moore knows
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 1: economics too well to actually participate in the Trump administration. Kenny,
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 1: what do you think this means for the future of
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 1: the American right? You know, I don't know to the
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: extent that this continues, and that they're not willing to
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: denounce the Foyintesses and the Tuckers to the extent that
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 1: they remain kind of obligated to them and and you know,
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 1: maintain them in their so called Then the right is
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 1: is is either dead or it will It will win,
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 1: but it will become a fascist right. And what we
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 1: will get in America is fascism from the right right.
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it's, uh, the American right is.
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 1: You know, to some extent, it's always been, but it's
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 1: particularly right now anti intellectual, anti philosophical, anti ideological. And
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 1: that's why, by the way, they latch onto religion because
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 1: it's all they have. Ideas are beyond them. All they
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 1: have left is religion, and that's what they latch onto,
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 1: all right, Kenny. I love your courses on Peterson Academy
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 1: with the money just for your content. Thank you. I
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 1: now have five courses. Five courses. I mean it is
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 1: worth signing up just for that, because I think it's
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 1: just a monetarily it's a good deal to sign up
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 1: for a year just to do my five courses. It's
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 1: even one of each one of those courses about nine
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 1: hours long. I've got one on capitalism, one on finance,
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 1: one on money, one on trade in one of the corporation, history.
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 2: Of business in America.
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 1: Those five courses unique content you won't get anywhere else.
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 1: Each one of them is nine hours, says nine times five,
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 1: forty five hours of content. I'm not sure how much
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 1: the Peterson Academy costs, but for forty five hours of content,
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 1: which you can't get anywhere else, I think it's a
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 1: pretty good deal. So yeah, check it out. Thank you, Kenny.
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 2: I really appreciate you are giving me that feedback.
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 1: Hope O. Please, oh, if you do consume my content
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 1: on Peterson Academy, please write positive comments.
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 2: Please let them know that you liked it so that
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 2: they have me back again.
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 1: I don't have anything scheduled yet in terms of going
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 1: back there, but I'm hopeful that next year i'll be
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 1: able to do another few courses, so that would be
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 1: that would be terrific. Andrew, a coworker, told me he
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 1: believes in his own happiness as model. I'm sure we
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 1: disagree on the means of happiness, but we're allied on
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 1: the purpose of life. Many at least value happiness, even
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 1: if they don't understand selfishness.
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 2: Yes, I mean, I think that's a huge step forward.
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 1: I always say, if we can agree that the purpose
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 1: is your own flourishing, your own happiness, now we can
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 1: debate what leads to that, what actually results in that,
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 1: what are the virtues and values that achieve that? And
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 1: I think that's a much more fruitful debate. Let's get
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 1: the beneficiaries out of the way. If we agree that
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 1: I should be the beneficial of my own actions, my
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 1: own happiness, that clears up a lot of a lot
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 1: of stuff, and the debate is much more fruitil from
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 1: that point on. Jacob Any thought on the A C
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 1: subsidy drama, a catalyst for more freedom or a nothing burger.
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 1: I'm leaning towards a nothing burger. It's it's nothing, boger.
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 1: Nothing is going to change, nothing will happen. The Trump
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 1: administrator has had many, many opportunities to get rid of
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 1: the ACA and replace it with something else. They could
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 1: have as part of the big beautiful bill. They could
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 1: have increased health saving accounts, which was the solution, and
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 1: they never did so now they're suddenly remembering that they
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 1: could do all that. I don't think it'll come to anything.
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 1: I think it'll be nothing. Uh. Christas the Iran police
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 1: consider forming political party milated it, so they may be
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 1: still a limb I've hoped to save as from us
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 1: from downfall. I mean, the big difference is I live
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 1: in the United States, is in Argentina. Argentina is a
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 1: country of I think twenty million, the United States doing
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 1: in fifty million. To gain attention in the United States,
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 1: it's very difficult to look at how much attention I'm gaining,
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 1: not that much for a form political party I'll get
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 1: for you know, how many votes will I get? Almost none?
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 1: How would I get out there? How would I get
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 1: any attention? And on the other hand, you know, Argentina
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 1: is much more centralized, much easier. But look me, there's
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 1: a unique character. I'm nom late. And Argentina was also
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 1: much more desperate than the United States is today. But
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 1: there has been a political party formed. What's his name,
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 1: God the actor. I can see his face, but his
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 1: name will not come to my consciousness. Isn't that amazing?
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: But somebody in the chat will let me know has
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 1: formed Pelgrino. Mark Agrino has phoned the Capitalist Party. It exists.
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 1: Look up Capitalist Party of America and you will find it.
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 1: I think they have a pretty good what do you
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 1: call it a program? Political program and the American Capitalist Party,
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 1: and you can you can subscribe to them and hopefully
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 1: one day they will run candidates. But basically, there's no
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 1: point in me duplicating the effort that they've already done.
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 1: If you're going to go into politics, you know, that's
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 1: one way. Another way is to go into one of
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 1: the existing parties and try to change it within. I'm
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 1: not against going into politics, not something I want to do,
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 1: but you know, if some of you want to go
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 1: into politics, go for it.
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 2: Kenny, Thank you.
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 1: Jron. I felt a bit depressed at the start of
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 1: the show, but you're inspiring me to speak out. Great.
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Kenny. I'm glad I am inspiring. Kiki Adilson
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 1: said she was more loyal to Israel than USA. I
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 1: didn't hear that. I'd be curious to see the exact
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 1: quote and if it wasn't taken out of context. But okay,
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 1: so she's more loyal to Israel than see that it says,
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 1: why do you? Why does anybody care? Why does anybody care?
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 1: So Addamson, with all her billions of dollars, she's a form,
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 1: she's an Israeli dual citizen with the United States, is
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 1: more loyal to Israel than in the United States. A.
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 1: There's not that much conflict between the US and the
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 1: United States. And b okay, so Adamson is does that
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 1: mean old Jews are? Does that mean everybody is?
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 2: What does that mean exactly? Does that mean she's selling
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 2: out the US?
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 1: What does it mean? It doesn't mean anything even if
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 1: she said it, and I'm not sure she said it
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 1: exactly that way, But I'd be curious if somebody has
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: the quote, send it to me.
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 2: Jjgbez.
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 1: I was able to talk three of my very anti
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 1: Israel friends to more of a center position, considering how
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 1: strong the opinion was before that.
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 2: It was a great achievement. It is possible.
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: Good for you, I think if you can't talk to
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 1: people on this issue, out of the position. I don't
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 1: know what you can talk to them out of. I mean,
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 1: this is not a hot issue. Let me make it
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 1: very clear, the Israeli Palestinian issue is not a hot issue.
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 2: It's actually a very very easy issue.
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 1: And once you know a little bit about the history,
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 1: and once you know a little bit about that about
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 1: what's actually going on versus what you up on about it,
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 1: if you can't come to the right conclusion, there's something
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 1: very wrong with you. I mean, they are complicated issues
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 1: in the world. This one is not complicated. Mera Ben says,
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 1: how much for doctor Mommy Patreon to sponsor YBS? I mean,
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 1: we can, you know, drop me an email and we
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 1: can talk about it. You're on at your on bookshow
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 1: dot com. It depends on how often you want mentioned
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that. But all the other sponsors are
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 1: basically doing one thousand dollars a month and for that
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 1: they get a mentioned I try, not every show, but
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 1: almost every show.
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 2: But we could come to a different arrangement if that
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 2: is what you would like. Jjggbs.
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 1: Are you going to be watching Ken Burns new documentary
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 1: they're making Revolution? Maybe it's doc we need right now.
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 1: I mean it probably isn't because I can't believe that
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 1: ken Burns is gonna, you know, has a real understanding.
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know who he's using, uh for the documentary
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 1: of understanding the Revolution, but yeah, I mean I will
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 1: look for it because I'm curious and I'm interested in
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 1: and I like his documentaries generally. I just don't know
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 1: philosophically how aligned he is. But yeah, uh, let's see,
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 1: all right, Hannu eight. The single tax by Henry George
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 1: would have prevented Mom, Donnie, are you aware of Henry
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 1: George the economist? Have you considered this single tax? I'm
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 1: away of Henry George. I think the single tax is
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 1: like a it's a land tax, if I remember right it,
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, I've I've read some of this stuff. I
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 1: don't agree. It doesn't make any sense to me from
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 1: an economics perspective. I don't think he's a particularly good economist.
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 1: But I can't argue the ideas right now because I'd
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 1: have to brush up on my Henry George. But when
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 1: I've looked into it, I was not impressed. I do
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 1: not believe in a in a land tax. You know,
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 1: if anything, we should have a single consumption tax and
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 1: nothing else. Maybe a VAT and nothing else is the
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 1: only tax out there. Uh, you know, if you have
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 1: a tax, I have to have a tax. That would
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 1: be the right tax from an economics perspective. And yeah,
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 1: so I don't know how it would have prevented Mamdani.
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 1: You know, taxes are consequences of ideas. Uh, they don't
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 1: shape ideas. So I think that's reversing cause and effect. Jacob,
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 1: you have a view of Aliens one to interminate a
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 1: one to still one of the best episodes ever. Oh cool, Yeah,
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 1: I mean those are good reviews. Those are movies I
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 1: watched and thought about a lot, and they're very, very
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 1: good movies, and they are movies with real philosophical content.
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 1: You can check out those reviews on one of my shows.
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 1: Just put Terminata You're on Brook and I guess you'll
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 1: find them. But yeah, those are some of my favorite
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 1: movies from the nineteen eighties. And I guess those all
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 1: in the eighties, I think, so old Greg I already
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 1: read his silly comment again. He's you can ask questions,
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 1: old Greg, but you but you buy the right to
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 1: ask questions. You'll probably talk about this before, but what
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 1: do you think US economic policy and China should be.
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 1: Is there valid argument for protectionism there? No, I don't
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 1: think there is. I don't I think there is a
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 1: valid argument for restricting exports to China of militarily sensitive
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 1: is like a very advanced chips, although we have to
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 1: realize that that will not stop them from developing their
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 1: own and will not stop them from smuggling them in
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 1: the verse ways in which they get smuggled in. But
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 1: in terms of China, I don't know, producing toys. I mean,
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 1: I don't see any valid argument for protectionism. There might
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 1: be a valid argument for using individual not buying stuff
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 1: from China. That argument might be valid, that is boycotting
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 1: China as an individual. But the job of the government,
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 1: the government should only intervene in trade if one the
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 1: item involved as a national security weapons things that go
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 1: into weapons, or be if you're at war, or you're
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 1: about to go to war, or you're convinced you're about
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 1: to go to war. And I don't think we're about
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 1: to go to war with China, but I'm willing to
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 1: be convinced we are, and then it's not protectionism. Then
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 1: you just embogo them. You don't with an enemy. And
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 1: if China is an enemy, a feign policy militarily enemy,
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 1: then we shouldn't trade with them period. But then, if
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 1: they're an enemy, why is Trump meeting with them? Why
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 1: is Trump going to Beijing next year early next year?
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 1: Why does he keep praising Hi? Obviously we don't perceive
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 1: them in an enemy, so there's no reason tap protection
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 1: is policies against them. I just don't get it.
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 2: Thanks is so frustrating.
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 1: Even Sam Harris thinks billionaires ruined by ironmand have an
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 1: altruistic duty to be generous to the common good, ignoring
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 1: money's role as a means to wait for opportunities like AI.
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 1: Individualism is so resented.
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Frank.
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 1: That's fifty dollars, And I agree with you completely. It
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 1: is unbelievably frustrating. Altruism is so deeply ingrained, even in
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 1: some of our best intellectuals. And I consider Sam Harris,
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 1: in spite of out disagreements, one of our best, uh
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 1: you know, best intellectuals, and uh it is you know.
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 2: He basically.
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 1: Resents and resents individualism, resents the idea of wealth creation
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 1: versus wealth redistribution, resents the idea that some people contribute
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 1: to that wealth creation significantly more than others, and they
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 1: WoT deserve to earn much more than others and because
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 1: they created, so uh yeah, you know, it's it's absolutely
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 1: absolutely frustrating and disappointing because again Sam is smart. Sam's smart,
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 1: and I think, you know, I think it's sad because
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 1: Sam has a very negative view of fine Man, which
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 1: I think if he really was willing to engage in
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 1: iron Man's ideas, he might not agree with it. But
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 1: he wouldn't he wouldn't be anyway, You're as negative as
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 1: he is today, Jamie. Sam was essentially saying corporations would
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 1: be incentivized to put more money in hiring employees. Okay,
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 1: this is the other Sam, more money in hiring employees
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 1: since the money would be going to tax anyway. Oh
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 1: so you want COPA taxes to be an eighty nine
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 1: to eighty percent as well. None of that makes any sense, right,
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 1: because anytime a business is investing, and money is always invested. Right.
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 1: So let's say the corporation has a lot of money
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 1: and it decides to buy backstock. So it buys backstock.
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 1: So the investors have a lot of money. Now what
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 1: do they do with that money? They invested, and what
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 1: does that investment ultimately do? It results in hiring employees.
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 1: So the way to get more employees hired is to
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 1: increase investments. So you should reduce taxes on investment, like
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 1: capital gains taxes to zero, and that's how you increase investment,
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 1: and that's how you increase employment. Yeah, but that's just
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 1: upside down logic. And if it's going to Texas anyway,
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 1: why would they rather have employees? I guess. I guess
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 1: they get some value from the employee, but they don't
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 1: get to sustain enough profit to make it to make
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 1: it worthwhile the effort to hire the employee at ninety
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 1: corporate taxes, you just don't have business. It just collapses.
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 1: You just have stagnation on a scale that I don't
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 1: think Sam or anybody else can imagine. This is a
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 1: different Sam, not Sam House Jacob. If everyone tells you
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 1: that Jemmy used to say nice things about for intance,
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 1: isn't if someone tells you, isn't it responsible thing to verify.
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 2: Before just believing in face fail?
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I agree, I didn't accept the face value. I
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 1: said I didn't know that, and I think I said,
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 1: if he said that, then that's terrible. But I didn't
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 1: know that he said and I don't know that he
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 1: said it. I agree that you shouldn't just accept at
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 1: the face value. I do have some respect for my
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 1: uh super chatters that they don't just make stuff up.
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 1: On the other hands, so but I do want to
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 1: see the the the quotes and make sure they're not
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 1: taking out of context. It's so easy to take stuff
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 1: out of context. Andrew, why wasn't Walk jealous of Keating's
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 1: material success and prestige? Well, because material success and prestige
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 1: didn't matter that much to Walk. And you know, I
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 1: think you recognized that this was this was the the
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 1: Peter Keating sold the soul for that, So why be
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 1: jealous of somebody who, to gain it had to sell
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 1: his soul? Right? So, yeah, I read this from Greg
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 1: because it's so you an say, there's all sorts of
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 1: things without verifying them, quotes people without saying actual quotes,
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 1: and makes accusations without merit. Oh, Greg just did exactly
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 1: what he accuses me of doing. Like, he gave no
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 1: examples of me saying things without verifying them. He gave
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 1: no examples of me quoting people without using actual quotes.
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 1: And he made no gave no examples of accusations I
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 1: made without merit. Indeed, my accusations are with merit. I
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 1: don't always quote people exactly because I don't have the
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 1: quotes with me, but I paraphrase the quotes.
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 2: If they are not exactly.
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 1: Right, then challenge me show me where they're wrong. I
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 1: don't see people doing that. Nobody's done that. I've never seen.
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, people always make this accusation against me, but
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 1: I've never seen somebody, anybody, actually give me an example,
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 1: an actual example. They say, I say, what's his name?
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 1: A Nick Frantis is an anti Sam Sami without giving quotes,
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 1: it's so obvious that he's an anti semi. All my
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 1: paraphrasings have been absolutely accurate. The fact that I won't
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 1: show you videos of Nick fluents just go check him out,
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 1: all of it, All of that, all the Nick foy
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 1: into stuff is one hundred percent correct.
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 2: What I've told you.
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 1: It's not even exaggerated, and I just don't want to
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 1: put you through the agony of having to watch the
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 1: garbage that is Fluentish. But everything I say about him
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 1: is absolutely true. Do I accuse talking for intos of
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 1: anti Semitism. Yes, and I've showed you on TACA many times,
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 1: the fact that he is anti Semitic, and I've showed
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 1: given examples, and I've showed videos of tucka. I've actually
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 1: showed videos he's absolutely anti Semitic. I'd have explained why
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 1: he's at a Semitic and how his antisemitic anti semitism
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 1: reflective stuff. You might disagree with my evaluation, but I
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 1: always provide evidence. In the fact that you are challenging
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 1: the idea that Tucker and Fluentees are anti Semitic just
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 1: shows how ignorant evader you are. You're just an ignorant evader.
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 1: So anybody, I mean, even Nick Foyantis is not going
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 1: to deny his anti semitism Taka will, but he's an
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 1: anti semi The very fact that he's devoted well anyway, I.
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 2: Don't need defended now.
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 1: But you know, to deny the anti semitism of Nick
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 1: foyentis put aside Tucker calls. To deny the anti semitism
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 1: Nick foyintis requires unbelievable, unbelievable evasion. It requires blind blindness
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 1: to what he actually says. It requires unthinking, unthinking medication
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 1: and admiration for the person and negation of his ideas.
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 1: It requires the mindlessness of a tribalist. And that's what
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 1: old Greg is, a mindless tribalist.
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 2: And it's sad. It's sad that there are so many
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 2: people because again, it's not subtle.
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 1: With Frantis, it's not hm, I need to interpret it,
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 1: but it's not that subtle Atuka. Tucker's a little bit
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 1: more subtle because he tries to hide it because he
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 1: knows that it's disrespect. You know, he still gets invited
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 1: to nice parties, and he wants to keep getting invited
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 1: to nice parties. And if he's if he actually, if
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 1: he actually came out as an anti semite and made
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 1: it more explicit, he might not be invited to those parties.
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 2: So it Taka hides it a little bit. He gives it.
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 1: There is some kind of prestige. But Nick doesn't hide it.
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 1: Frantis doesn't hide it. So to not identify it with
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 1: Nick Frantis means you've turned off your mind. You've just
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 1: flipped the switch. And I judge, I'm gonna give you
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 1: my opinion on everybody, and I'm going to back it
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 1: up with facts and with Nick. I mean, the main
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 1: fact is just watch any segment of his shows and
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 1: you will find it all right guys.
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 2: I mean it's like with hitlanti Semitic. Hmm, I wonder.
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 1: He has greg here you go. Maybe this will help
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 1: you confirm sources and educate yourself ahahaha. Also ask yourself
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 1: why anyone is going against Jews again? Why why against Jews?
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 1: Definitely never their fault. Well it's not their fault this time.
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 1: It wasn't their fault in most other times. There are
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 1: many reasons to go after Jews, you know, starting with
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 1: the with the with the claim that they killed Jesus,
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 1: and on with the fact that they deny Jesus, that
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 1: they didn't convert to Christianity. You can actually educate yourself
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 1: by studying the history of anti Semitism and what its
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 1: sources are. But the fact that they're successful, that they're
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 1: a minority, that there are an other, that they're strong,
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 1: that they're capable, that they're able, that they have sustained
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 1: their own state. I mean, there's a long, long, long
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 1: history of white people anti Semitic, which I've analyzed many times.
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 1: The intersectionality on the left and then the right primarily
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 1: driven by Christian anti Semitism. Nothing Israel does is the
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 1: cause of anti Semitism, even the bad stuff that Israel
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 1: doesn't it does do. Some bad stuff does not cause
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 1: anti Semitism. Anti Senitism proceeds anything.
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 2: That Israel might do.
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 1: Right, mus from ours, come to Australia and speak any
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 1: way you can, any way you can here. Need you
• 2:09:01

• 2:09:22
  Speaker 1: to come to Australia, but I have no way to

• 2:09:28
  Speaker 1: the team. And I'll just give a shout out to
