Transcript
- 0:11Speaker 1: And this is show.
- 0:21Speaker 2: Al right, everybody, welcome to one hook show on this
- 0:23Speaker 2: uh Wednesday, September three.
- 0:26Speaker 1: I am in Florence, Italy. There's a DEFEATI Gallery today.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Phenomenal, phenomenal museum, both because it has some of the
- 0:39Speaker 2: best collection, maybe the best collection of of Renaissance arts
- 0:44Speaker 2: in the world, maybe at the Vatican Museum. And it
- 0:48Speaker 2: has an amazing collection of Romance culture. Anyway, I'll have
- 0:53Speaker 2: to do a show on uh Art influence and Florence
- 0:57Speaker 2: in general.
- 0:58Speaker 1: Maybe we'll do this as a member's only show over
- 1:00Speaker 1: the weekend. But yeah, it's been fun and.
- 1:06Speaker 2: Enjoyable and a lot of interesting, uh A lot of beautiful,
- 1:11Speaker 2: beautiful arts that seat today Rafel and Leonardo and Michelangelo and.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Caravaggio. Three paintings by Calvaggio. So good day, good day,
- 1:23Speaker 1: All right, news, let's jump in to the news. Everybody
- 1:30Speaker 1: is hailing this decision by a.
- 1:37Speaker 2: Judge in the Google anti trust case. The hailing this
- 1:41Speaker 2: is a victory for Google. They remember this is a
- 1:43Speaker 2: judge who ruled that Google was indeed guilty of violating
- 1:47Speaker 2: the anti trust laws and that it's nine dominance of
- 1:54Speaker 2: the search engine market constituted in a sense monopoly power,
- 2:00Speaker 2: and as a consequence of that, today the judge ruled. Now,
- 2:08Speaker 2: the good news is the government didn't get what it wanted,
- 2:11Speaker 2: So to the extent that you want to count that
- 2:13Speaker 2: as good news, that's good news.
- 2:15Speaker 1: Goverment didn't get what it wanted.
- 2:16Speaker 2: The government wanted Google to spin off Meta, you know,
- 2:20Speaker 2: sorry Metas, not Google.
- 2:22Speaker 1: To spin off Chrome, and to spin off.
- 2:27Speaker 2: You know, potentially even spin off Android, which would be
- 2:30Speaker 2: huge if that had been the ruling. The government luckily
- 2:34Speaker 2: did not get what it wanted. It got a much
- 2:37Speaker 2: more reduced ruling. So basically the most significant limit that
- 2:42Speaker 2: he placed on Google buzz it from striking deals with
- 2:47Speaker 2: browser companies. This is one of the Wall Street journaltical
- 2:49Speaker 2: about the ruling. Striking deals with browser companies and device makers,
- 2:55Speaker 2: they require them to exclusively use its search engine, Chrome browser,
- 2:59Speaker 2: or a Eye products. The ruling further bars Google from
- 3:04Speaker 2: tying the licensing of its app, tying the licensing of
- 3:10Speaker 2: its app, of its app store, sorry, of its app
- 3:13Speaker 2: store on Android devices to the use of those products. So,
- 3:19Speaker 2: in other words, it's trying to rain in this idea
- 3:22Speaker 2: of exclusivity of contracts that limit what other companies can do.
- 3:28Speaker 2: If they use a Google product, can they use other products?
- 3:31Speaker 1: And so on? The Wilding also forces Google. This is
- 3:37Speaker 1: would be funny if it wasn't so.
- 3:39Speaker 2: Said, forces Google to share some search data, you know,
- 3:46Speaker 2: in the name of I mean expliciitly, in the name
- 3:49Speaker 2: of giving competitives a shot at building the scale they
- 3:53Speaker 2: need to offer better search results.
- 3:55Speaker 1: So Google is first to help its competitors. The judge
- 4:02Speaker 1: said that data sharing was.
- 4:03Speaker 2: Necessarily to dialute, dilute the advantage Google gets from pain
- 4:09Speaker 2: to be the default search engine. He didn't require the
- 4:13Speaker 2: company to share advertising data.
- 4:15Speaker 1: Well that's good.
- 4:18Speaker 2: Now, this is after five years in court, a five
- 4:20Speaker 2: year battle where the Justice departments soon Google in the
- 4:26Speaker 2: waning hours. So this is a Trump administration lawsuit. This
- 4:30Speaker 2: was initiated during the first Trump administration and continued, of
- 4:37Speaker 2: course by the Biden administration. The judge had already ruled
- 4:42Speaker 2: that Google engaged in so called illegal practices to preserve
- 4:47Speaker 2: its search engine monopoly. And then, of course he and
- 4:51Speaker 2: then yelled another stage of the trial to decide what
- 4:54Speaker 2: the remedy should be. Now, yes, of all the possible remedies,
- 5:01Speaker 2: this is pretty light.
- 5:04Speaker 1: And that's good.
- 5:05Speaker 2: And the stock market responded positively on Google shares and
- 5:11Speaker 2: Apple shares because this maintains the relations between Google and Apple,
- 5:15Speaker 2: it doesn't break that up.
- 5:17Speaker 1: So the market views this is positive news for Google.
- 5:22Speaker 2: But that I think distracts us from the massive injustice
- 5:28Speaker 2: that's going on here. Google is done nothing to violate
- 5:32Speaker 2: anybody's rights. Google has done nothing that should be illegal
- 5:40Speaker 2: other than I mean, the primary thing Google is done
- 5:42Speaker 2: that is pissed off everybody is being incredibly successful. Is
- 5:47Speaker 2: provided the best product, and it has been adopted by
- 5:51Speaker 2: the most people.
- 5:52Speaker 1: By an overwhelming majority of people.
- 5:57Speaker 2: Google is being penalized here as an to trust always does,
- 6:02Speaker 2: is to be penalized for its success.
- 6:06Speaker 1: And while.
- 6:08Speaker 2: You know, where all the court is doing is saying
- 6:10Speaker 2: certain contracts you can't write. That's you know, this is
- 6:14Speaker 2: the great fallacy of anti trust law, one of the
- 6:16Speaker 2: great fallacies of anterest just law. It's as if the
- 6:19Speaker 2: court knows what contracts should shouldn't be. It's as if
- 6:24Speaker 2: the court understands the second, third, fourth level effects of
- 6:30Speaker 2: changing contractual relations.
- 6:32Speaker 1: Because the reality is that.
- 6:36Speaker 2: Anti trust has had a horrible history of rejecting certain
- 6:43Speaker 2: types of contractual agreements that have led to significantly less
- 6:48Speaker 2: optimal economic outcomes, and of course the constitute violation of
- 6:52Speaker 2: individual rights.
- 6:53Speaker 1: Why what business is.
- 6:56Speaker 2: It of the government, What business is it of the
- 7:00Speaker 2: government of the courts? What kind of contract I write
- 7:03Speaker 2: with you? As long as that abides by the basic
- 7:05Speaker 2: principles of contracts, which all of these do. Why is
- 7:12Speaker 2: the court getting involved in the terms in exclusivity or
- 7:17Speaker 2: non exclusivity? And no rights have been violated here, nobody's
- 7:25Speaker 2: wors off.
- 7:26Speaker 1: This is a this is a.
- 7:29Speaker 2: Contract between informed individuals, might legal you know, Google's leader
- 7:34Speaker 2: legal team and Apple's legal team. Court knows better than native.
- 7:38Speaker 2: The court believes that it needs to intervene here to
- 7:43Speaker 2: protect whom exactly, who suffers?
- 7:46Speaker 1: Who's the victim?
- 7:49Speaker 2: Yes, Google has ninety percent market share, but we all
- 7:52Speaker 2: pay exactly zero to use it. And yeah, it's hard
- 7:57Speaker 2: for competitors, it really is. That's what it means to
- 8:02Speaker 2: be a successful company. That's what happens when you are
- 8:04Speaker 2: a successful company. It's hard for people to compete with you.
- 8:08Speaker 2: That's a definition of success. It was easy to compe
- 8:12Speaker 2: with you, you wouldn't be successful.
- 8:17Speaker 1: So yeah, hard for companies.
- 8:18Speaker 2: Although again, AI is going to change the whole search.
- 8:27Speaker 1: Paradigmic.
- 8:29Speaker 2: It's going to change the way we use the Internet.
- 8:31Speaker 2: It's going to change the way we search for things,
- 8:33Speaker 2: how we access data. And the judge acknowledge that, and
- 8:40Speaker 2: yet what happens in the future is you relevant. So,
- 8:46Speaker 2: in spite of the fact that I understand that people
- 8:49Speaker 2: are celebrating because this is.
- 8:52Speaker 1: The least bad.
- 8:53Speaker 2: Outcome, I don't want to emphasize the fact that it's
- 8:57Speaker 2: still bad. I mean, the whole anti trust legal framework
- 9:04Speaker 2: is corrupt and it needs to be called corrupt. It
- 9:07Speaker 2: needs to be wiped out, white clean, start over. You know,
- 9:11Speaker 2: American invented this. The Shuman Act invented anti trust. This
- 9:15Speaker 2: is an American invention, and a very damaging economic one
- 9:19Speaker 2: at that. So let businesses sign whatever contracts they want,
- 9:26Speaker 2: Let them run their businesses any way they want, as
- 9:30Speaker 2: long as they're not committing fraud, lying, cheating, stealing.
- 9:34Speaker 1: It's none of.
- 9:35Speaker 2: The government's business anti trust laws from the Sherman Act
- 9:38Speaker 2: to the Clinking Act to all the iterations. Since imo
- 9:43Speaker 2: unjust should be wiped from the books, should start over
- 9:47Speaker 2: with a call it free market, free, a government intervention,
- 9:54Speaker 2: government control, free of anti trust laws.
- 9:57Speaker 1: Trying to tell.
- 9:58Speaker 2: Companies they are true successful, don't be too successful. It
- 10:06Speaker 2: really is a travesty, the whole, the whole, uh, the
- 10:10Speaker 2: whole legal what do you what would you call a tradition,
- 10:16Speaker 2: the legal mechanisms of Antichrist. Unfortunately, uh, the United States
- 10:22Speaker 2: exported it's actutust lawge to other countries and indeed, today,
- 10:26Speaker 2: for example, the EU attu justice laws are worse than
- 10:29Speaker 2: the American ancest laws.
- 10:30Speaker 1: We invented it and then exported it to the rest
- 10:33Speaker 1: of the world. It is sad.
- 10:40Speaker 2: This administration is the gift, well is it a gift.
- 10:45Speaker 2: It's the lie that keeps on lying, the gift that
- 10:47Speaker 2: keeps on giving, the lie that keeps on lying. I mean,
- 10:49Speaker 2: it's the the The economic ignorance of the people running
- 10:55Speaker 2: this administration is second to none. I mean literally second
- 10:59Speaker 2: to none. I mean, I've heard really really dumb things
- 11:01Speaker 2: being said by Treasury secretaries under Obama and under Biden, and.
- 11:10Speaker 1: Really really really bad knesy and nonsense and stuff.
- 11:15Speaker 2: But I have to say the Treasury Bessett, who I
- 11:19Speaker 2: thought was one of the good guys at the beginning
- 11:20Speaker 2: of this administration, is really making an effort, really making
- 11:25Speaker 2: an effort to give himself, put himself in the position
- 11:29Speaker 2: of being the Treasury secretary who's saying the dumbest things ever.
- 11:38Speaker 2: I mean, really, I know some of you think I'm
- 11:42Speaker 2: too harsh on the Trumpet Drigis station. I just have
- 11:45Speaker 2: to call it the way I see it. And this
- 11:48Speaker 2: is I mean, this is Treasury Secretary's official Twitter account.
- 11:53Speaker 2: This is what he says, tariffs, I've been living historic
- 11:57Speaker 2: results for the American people.
- 12:00Speaker 1: Yeah, my comment, Yes, in terms.
- 12:02Speaker 2: Of raising prices and raising the cost of living, and
- 12:07Speaker 2: reducing manufacturing and eliminating manufacturing jobs, and yeah, making it
- 12:14Speaker 2: generally very difficult for businesses to do business in America.
- 12:18Speaker 2: But other than that, historic results. These are historic results.
- 12:22Speaker 2: Even the mainstream media is starting to admit it.
- 12:26Speaker 1: I'm curious. It would be.
- 12:27Speaker 2: Great if he had attached to this tweet the links
- 12:31Speaker 2: to the articles where the mainstream media is indeed admitting
- 12:37Speaker 2: the amazing, historical, fantastic, unbelievable, unbelieving good results of these types.
- 12:44Speaker 1: All I see, all I.
- 12:46Speaker 2: See, particularly in the mainstream media, if you count, we'll
- 12:49Speaker 2: see journal mainstream media that MAC media specializes kind of
- 12:53Speaker 2: in economications.
- 12:55Speaker 1: All I see is.
- 12:58Speaker 2: Articles about the hollors and the downside of the tariff policy.
- 13:04Speaker 1: It continues. I've said total tariff revenue could reach three
- 13:07Speaker 1: hundred billion this year.
- 13:09Speaker 2: Wait a minute, wait, didn't Trump said eight trillion? I mean,
- 13:14Speaker 2: this is this is like less than ten percent of that.
- 13:18Speaker 2: This is like less than five percent of that. I mean,
- 13:23Speaker 2: Who's right?
- 13:24Speaker 1: Is it? Trump? Is it bestn't? Is either one of them? Right?
- 13:30Speaker 1: What's going on?
- 13:34Speaker 2: It doesn't matter with this administration because because reality doesn't matter.
- 13:39Speaker 2: I mean, and uh, facts don't matter, and you know,
- 13:44Speaker 2: it just it just has no it has no significance
- 13:49Speaker 2: one way or the other.
- 13:53Speaker 1: All right.
- 13:55Speaker 2: So then he says, and this is the this is
- 14:01Speaker 2: this is what places this tweet elevates it to the
- 14:04Speaker 2: status of legendary in terms of stupidity, ignorance, or just
- 14:10Speaker 2: investment case. I think it's just plain out lying in
- 14:16Speaker 2: order to make something that's bad appear good. I noticed
- 14:20Speaker 2: that I've said total tariff revenue could reach there undred billionaire,
- 14:23Speaker 2: but it could be much higher, you know, just change
- 14:27Speaker 2: that and says I've said our tax increase will generate
- 14:31Speaker 2: three hundred billion dollars of revenue. That wouldn't read quite
- 14:35Speaker 2: as nice to the American people. As oh, total tariff revenue,
- 14:40Speaker 2: somebody else pays.
- 14:41Speaker 1: That, but you all know who pays it.
- 14:44Speaker 2: We do it, so the American people pay it. And therefore,
- 14:48Speaker 2: so we've just instituted and you granted limited sales tax
- 14:52Speaker 2: on the American people, and it's generated three hundred billion
- 14:55Speaker 2: dollars a year. We haven't cut income tax, we haven't
- 14:57Speaker 2: cut other taxes, but it generated and we'll excited. We're
- 15:00Speaker 2: all thrilled by that. But this is the line that
- 15:04Speaker 2: really wins wins him. You know, every three hundred billion
- 15:10Speaker 2: adds one percent to GDP. With tariffs alone, growth could
- 15:16Speaker 2: hit five percent. Right, slow down, slow down, guys, you
- 15:20Speaker 2: got to think this through. He says, every three hundred
- 15:23Speaker 2: billion dollars of new tax revenue add one percent to GDP.
- 15:33Speaker 1: Wow.
- 15:35Speaker 2: I mean, so he's telling us that the Democrats and
- 15:41Speaker 2: Canes have been right all along. If you only increase GDP,
- 15:45Speaker 2: if you want to create you candom growth, what you
- 15:48Speaker 2: need to do is increase taxes. I mean, this is
- 15:51Speaker 2: a stunning statement. Every three hundred billion adds one percent
- 15:57Speaker 2: of GDP. That's tariff So long, growth could hit five
- 16:03Speaker 2: percent because of tariffs, taxes, taxes.
- 16:10Speaker 1: Increase GDP and could cause GDP to go up five percent. Wow.
- 16:21Speaker 2: I mean Republicans now are saying the taxes increase economic
- 16:29Speaker 2: growth and in a sense for Friday Canesy and stimulus.
- 16:36Speaker 2: It used to be, didn't Republicans. I mean, maybe I'm
- 16:38Speaker 2: hung but didn't Republicans used to say. Didn't Republicans used
- 16:43Speaker 2: to say that taxes were tard economic growth. And by
- 16:50Speaker 2: the way, they're not spending three hundred billion dollars more.
- 16:55Speaker 2: This spending what they're spending. This just means not borrowing us.
- 17:01Speaker 2: We'll spend exactly the same, but I borrow this, all right?
- 17:18Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, this has to be one of
- 17:20Speaker 2: the dumbest economic statements ever by a Treasury secretary. And
- 17:25Speaker 2: I'm including some really bad Treasury secretaries in there, including
- 17:28Speaker 2: some really bad Democrats. But we're at the point where
- 17:32Speaker 2: Republicans are worse than Democrats when it comes to these things.
- 17:35Speaker 2: It's it takes some skill to come up with these lies.
- 17:42Speaker 1: And again be said, is too smart not to know
- 17:48Speaker 1: that he is lying? In my opinion, for what it's worth.
- 17:58Speaker 2: All right, Uh, let's see what do we want to
- 18:04Speaker 2: talk about? Yes, yeah, today today's news is going fast
- 18:09Speaker 2: so we'll see, we'll see how long the show is.
- 18:13Speaker 2: We're definitely definitely gonna get into that second hour. So
- 18:16Speaker 2: don't forget to ask super check questions. I could set
- 18:20Speaker 2: up one of those.
- 18:22Speaker 1: Uh like and never fails to amuse me and make
- 18:30Speaker 1: me laugh. That's that's good, Thank you, ed.
- 18:35Speaker 2: Don't forget I could set up one of those goals
- 18:37Speaker 2: to get get the super check going to get there,
- 18:40Speaker 2: to get the blood going, to get to get people
- 18:42Speaker 2: to to to make contributions that maybe you're waiting for
- 18:46Speaker 2: goal and and and only then.
- 18:48Speaker 1: Will you or you make contribution.
- 18:50Speaker 2: Okay, we're gonna go easy on you today. Instead of thirty,
- 18:53Speaker 2: we're gonna make it twenty uh any any any color,
- 18:57Speaker 2: any any amount, and we're.
- 18:59Speaker 1: Gonna give you. We're gonna give you forty five minutes
- 19:02Speaker 1: instead of an hour.
- 19:05Speaker 2: And that'll be our goal for today. So twenty super
- 19:12Speaker 2: chats over the next forty five minutes between now and
- 19:15Speaker 2: just after five o'clock my time. And you know, let's see,
- 19:21Speaker 2: well no five o'clock East Coast time, and we'll see,
- 19:27Speaker 2: we'll see how good you are achieving these YouTube mandated goals.
- 19:35Speaker 1: All right, let's see.
- 19:40Speaker 2: Sometimes you just need to stir things up a little
- 19:43Speaker 2: bit and get the juices going, and and we go
- 19:47Speaker 2: for it. All right, some new developments with the goad
- 19:51Speaker 2: to Epstein Epstein.
- 19:52Speaker 1: I think this is Epstein a case.
- 19:57Speaker 2: The House of Representatives has released a bunch.
- 20:02Speaker 1: Of new material. Well no, not new matial.
- 20:05Speaker 2: They've released a bunch of material regarding Jeffy Epstey. Now
- 20:11Speaker 2: it turns out almost all the material they released has
- 20:13Speaker 2: already been released, so there's nothing really new there. But
- 20:16Speaker 2: they promised to release more. And indeed, Massy, who's creating
- 20:21Speaker 2: no end of the problems for you know, for Trump,
- 20:25Speaker 2: Trump's not happy with.
- 20:27Speaker 1: Him, was that.
- 20:32Speaker 2: Somehow I lost there is somehow closed it. Massy is
- 20:39Speaker 2: define the White House and has filed what's called the
- 20:43Speaker 2: Discharge petition to force a House vote on releasing all
- 20:48Speaker 2: the Epstein investigative files. Now, this is gaining bipartisan support
- 20:55Speaker 2: from figures like you know, from from Democratic congressman and
- 20:59Speaker 2: somewhere Republicans like Nancy.
- 21:01Speaker 1: Mace Law and Bobbitt, Budorie Taylor Green, the all the.
- 21:06Speaker 2: You know, all the crazies in with Massey on this
- 21:09Speaker 2: one in terms of Megah getting it, getting it done
- 21:16Speaker 2: and so Massie's really pushing to get everything.
- 21:20Speaker 1: Now.
- 21:21Speaker 2: It's interesting the extent to which Trump is really really
- 21:26Speaker 2: really resisting this.
- 21:27Speaker 1: I mean, today he.
- 21:29Speaker 2: Was asked about again the Epstein thing, and you know,
- 21:36Speaker 2: so the reporters says, there are the survivors of Jeffy
- 21:40Speaker 2: Epstein's speaking at the press conference at Capitol Hill. They're
- 21:43Speaker 2: calling for these case files to be released. And Trump says,
- 21:47Speaker 2: this is a democratic hoax that never ends.
- 21:51Speaker 1: It's a hoax. It's a democratic coax.
- 21:53Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein didn't exist, we didn't do any of the
- 21:56Speaker 2: things that he was accused of doing. And it's just
- 21:59Speaker 2: a democratical So don't pay any attention to it. Don't
- 22:02Speaker 2: pay any attention to them. Of course, if anything, it's
- 22:05Speaker 2: a Republican hoax, because the Republicans are ones who are
- 22:08Speaker 2: constantly harping about this, constantly talking about.
- 22:12Speaker 1: This, and I'll Trump for reasons we could speculate about,
- 22:19Speaker 1: but we're not going to.
- 22:23Speaker 2: It, basically is coming it up, calling it a hoax,
- 22:26Speaker 2: devoting attention, not releasing the files, underminding and undercutting the
- 22:33Speaker 2: whole thing in any way that you can't. God, there's
- 22:37Speaker 2: a mosquito, there's a mosquito like buzzing around my office.
- 22:43Speaker 2: He's just waiting.
- 22:45Speaker 1: He's probably already bitten me three times with a damn.
- 22:49Speaker 2: Anyway, he's here, I'll try to If you see me
- 22:54Speaker 2: jump up and grab at something, I'm killing the mosquito.
- 22:58Speaker 2: In the meantime, today on Capitol Hill there was indeed
- 23:02Speaker 2: a press confidence with a number of Epstein survivors victims, and.
- 23:10Speaker 1: They are saying that they are going to release their
- 23:13Speaker 1: own list.
- 23:16Speaker 2: To quote one of them, we know who abused us,
- 23:19Speaker 2: we saw who came and went.
- 23:21Speaker 1: This list would be survivor led for survivors.
- 23:29Speaker 2: So the victims are going to take hands matters into
- 23:32Speaker 2: their own hands and.
- 23:36Speaker 1: Make a list of names.
- 23:37Speaker 2: Now they have to be careful because they could easily
- 23:40Speaker 2: be sued, but if they're confidence in certain people, it's
- 23:43Speaker 2: going to be interesting.
- 23:46Speaker 1: We will compile the names.
- 23:48Speaker 2: We all know we're regularly in Epstein's wolves.
- 23:52Speaker 1: And again, whether we learn anything new about from.
- 23:55Speaker 2: This, I don't know, but it is interesting to see
- 24:00Speaker 2: kind of the back and forth that's going on here
- 24:04Speaker 2: in terms of In terms of this now, one thing
- 24:15Speaker 2: doesn't clear is nobody seems to be implicating Trump, but
- 24:21Speaker 2: he seems to be unbelievably.
- 24:22Speaker 1: Defensive about the whole thing. So, if it's not.
- 24:25Speaker 2: Trump, who's going to be implicated? Is it significant donors
- 24:29Speaker 2: to Trump? Is it people in the Trump universe? I mean,
- 24:33Speaker 2: NBC just asked an entire panel of Epstein victims if
- 24:37Speaker 2: they ever if they ever saw hood Donald Trump doing
- 24:41Speaker 2: anything in appropriate in relation to Epstein, and they all
- 24:44Speaker 2: said no. So, you know, why is he Why is
- 24:55Speaker 2: he covering it up? Senator Massy at the press conference says,
- 25:06Speaker 2: I think it's shameful that this has been called a hoax.
- 25:10Speaker 1: Hopefully today we can clear that up. This is not
- 25:13Speaker 1: a hoax. This is real. They are real survivors, They
- 25:16Speaker 1: are real.
- 25:17Speaker 2: Victims to this criminal enterprise, and the perpetrators are being
- 25:21Speaker 2: protected because they're rich, powerful political donors in Washington, DC.
- 25:28Speaker 2: Now you know how extensive this thing is in terms
- 25:33Speaker 2: of is there somebody conspiracy here?
- 25:35Speaker 1: Was there a network? Was there really a network? You know?
- 25:41Speaker 2: I have to say, I don't know, we don't know,
- 25:43Speaker 2: nobody knows. Was this Epstein was a creep? I needed
- 25:48Speaker 2: horrible people things to people, and he did rape and
- 25:52Speaker 2: es sexually assault women.
- 25:54Speaker 1: But to what extent that other people participate? Other than.
- 26:02Speaker 2: Do what extend other men participated to what extent? Did
- 26:05Speaker 2: they sexually abused? Did they sleep with underage goals?
- 26:11Speaker 1: We just don't know.
- 26:13Speaker 2: There literally is no evidence. There's nothing to suggest that
- 26:17Speaker 2: this is anything more than Epstein's a creep and a
- 26:22Speaker 2: criminal creep.
- 26:22Speaker 1: At that we will find out. We will find out.
- 26:30Speaker 2: Over the next maybe we will find out if there's
- 26:35Speaker 2: more to this or not, or maybe we'll never find out.
- 26:38Speaker 2: Maybe Trump will manage to keep it shut down, you know,
- 26:44Speaker 2: for a long time. All right, I mean, we know
- 27:01Speaker 2: some stuff, but we don't None of this is being
- 27:06Speaker 2: brought a court. None of this is really We've heard
- 27:11Speaker 2: both sides of the story. We've heard a lot of accusations.
- 27:15Speaker 2: Some of them panned out, it seems some of them
- 27:19Speaker 2: did not. We just don't know, and you know exactly
- 27:30Speaker 2: how this supposed network worked. I mean, we don't have
- 27:34Speaker 2: the facts. So we can wait and see, and we
- 27:41Speaker 2: can jump conclusions. It's more fun to jump to conclusions.
- 27:44Speaker 2: Why wait and see? But hopefully we'll get more information.
- 27:47Speaker 2: Hopefully all this pressure will work. Hopefully we'll learn a
- 27:50Speaker 2: lot more and we'll be able to be able to
- 27:53Speaker 2: talk about it, you know, in a more educated way,
- 27:57Speaker 2: all right. As I reported on yesterday, the United States
- 28:01Speaker 2: carried out a strike against a drug carrying boat from Venezuela.
- 28:08Speaker 2: At least that's the story, that's the claim the Pentagon
- 28:11Speaker 2: is making. This is just days after the Pentagon deployed
- 28:15Speaker 2: warships to the Southern Caribbean to stop the flow of cocaine.
- 28:18Speaker 1: We've talked about this, the ships being there.
- 28:25Speaker 2: Trump has posted on social media that they positively identified
- 28:31Speaker 2: Knarco terrorists from the Cartel trend Ugua operating a small
- 28:36Speaker 2: boat carrying drugs in the US. The strikers out in
- 28:38Speaker 2: the death of eleven terrorists. By his definition, I don't
- 28:42Speaker 2: know how cartel members are terrorists, and he continued. Trump wrote,
- 28:50Speaker 2: please let the service notice to anybody ever thinking about
- 28:53Speaker 2: bringing drugs into the United States of America. Big way,
- 28:56Speaker 2: thank you for your attention on this matter. Fifty five
- 28:58Speaker 2: exclamation points to that. Marco Rubia said that the US
- 29:04Speaker 2: had conducted a lethal strike against the drug vessel the
- 29:07Speaker 2: Department from Venezuela end quote was being operated by designated
- 29:12Speaker 2: narco terrorist organization. The One Drugs continues the One Drugs
- 29:18Speaker 2: that was launched in the early nineteen seventies by the
- 29:22Speaker 2: Nixon administration and has gone through various phases of more
- 29:26Speaker 2: intensification and less centification over the decades. Is going to
- 29:31Speaker 2: go through a more intensified period. The US military is
- 29:36Speaker 2: getting involved again. Remember the US military was involved. It
- 29:40Speaker 2: was bombing, it was firebombing areas in Colombia that were
- 29:45Speaker 2: being cultivated for growth of cocaine. I'm not sure why
- 29:49Speaker 2: we're not bombing Columbia right now, over Venezuela for that matter,
- 29:53Speaker 2: where the cocaine is being bought. There's nothing new here
- 29:56Speaker 2: other than we're using the navy and we're bombing boats.
- 30:00Speaker 2: In the past, a boat like this identified as carrying
- 30:04Speaker 2: cocaine would have been stopped by the coast Guards, boarded,
- 30:10Speaker 2: or they would have been a shooting, a shootout, and
- 30:13Speaker 2: it would have been destroyed.
- 30:14Speaker 1: Anyway.
- 30:15Speaker 2: This is more drama, missiles, maybe drones. Who knows military
- 30:19Speaker 2: is doing it. It's not the coast Guard. Those whimps
- 30:21Speaker 2: in the coast Guard. I'm saying whimps. I'm joking, but
- 30:26Speaker 2: this is kind of the attitude of the Trumpetminstation. We
- 30:29Speaker 2: need the big boats, the big ships sending aircraft.
- 30:32Speaker 1: Carry over there. But it's just the continuation of the dog bord.
- 30:38Speaker 2: This is not gonna stop the flow of cocaine coming
- 30:40Speaker 2: into the United States. They can't beg in into the Cabbean.
- 30:43Speaker 2: They're beginning through the Pacific. They can't begin into the Pacific.
- 30:46Speaker 2: They're bringing through the Mexican border. They can't be in
- 30:48Speaker 2: through the Mexican border. They'll build tunnels and they begin
- 30:51Speaker 2: under the Mexican border. They're taking to Canada and begin
- 30:54Speaker 2: through Canada. They'll fighting, they will find ways to get
- 30:57Speaker 2: it in. Nothing the United States done in the entire
- 31:02Speaker 2: history of the War on Drugs, which is now fifty
- 31:06Speaker 2: plus years fifty plus hears, nothing the United States has
- 31:12Speaker 2: done has slowed the flow of cocaine or heroin or
- 31:15Speaker 2: any other drugs fencing on into the United States.
- 31:18Speaker 1: And nothing. This is my prediction, not a difficult one
- 31:22Speaker 1: to make.
- 31:23Speaker 2: Nothing that Trumpet administration is going to do is gonna
- 31:25Speaker 2: dramatically change the flow of drugs into the United States.
- 31:29Speaker 2: You can blow up boats, you can blow ships, she
- 31:32Speaker 2: can threaten people. There's too much profit, too many desperate people,
- 31:38Speaker 2: and too much profit to be ignored. You want to
- 31:41Speaker 2: stop the flow of drugs into the United States, Legalize
- 31:45Speaker 2: the drugs.
- 31:46Speaker 1: That'll do it, legalize drugs.
- 31:48Speaker 2: Profit margin goes away, violence goes away, the gangs go away.
- 32:00Speaker 2: Venezuela is getting ready for an armed attack by the
- 32:03Speaker 2: United States. We've talked about this as well. If Venezuela,
- 32:08Speaker 2: I'm a duo said today, if Venezuela were to be attacked,
- 32:11Speaker 2: it would immediately pass to a period of armed struggle
- 32:14Speaker 2: in defense of national territory. He said the US build
- 32:19Speaker 2: up in the Caribbean was the biggest threat a continent,
- 32:22Speaker 2: the entire continent is faced in the last one hundred years.
- 32:28Speaker 2: So attentions in the Southern Caribbean are growing. And Trump's
- 32:38Speaker 2: putting on a show. It's what he's good at. He's
- 32:41Speaker 2: putting on shows, and he's putting on a show, and
- 32:43Speaker 2: he's blowing up boats, and he could blow up other stuff.
- 32:45Speaker 1: He blow up other stuff.
- 32:47Speaker 2: He's the marcho tough guy who's going to stop the
- 32:49Speaker 2: drugs single handedly.
- 32:52Speaker 1: But ain't happening.
- 32:55Speaker 2: And it's a waste of money and effort and time
- 33:02Speaker 2: to try to stop these drugs from coming in. So
- 33:09Speaker 2: anyway more Trump theater. Yeah, so you've probably heard over
- 33:21Speaker 2: the last few days that a leading international organization of
- 33:29Speaker 2: Genocide Scholars experts.
- 33:31Speaker 1: In scholars, Here's here's a typical a typical headline.
- 33:37Speaker 2: The world's leading association of genocide scholars has passed a
- 33:41Speaker 2: resolution stating that the legal criteria has been met to
- 33:45Speaker 2: establish that Israel is committing.
- 33:46Speaker 1: Genocide in Gaza. I mean, that sounds pretty definitive. Or
- 33:51Speaker 1: The New York Times.
- 33:53Speaker 2: On Monday, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, a leading
- 33:57Speaker 2: group of academic experts on the topic, declared the Israel
- 34:01Speaker 2: policies and actions in Gaza have met legal definition of genocide.
- 34:07Speaker 2: The BBC Israel committing genocide in Gaza. World's leading experts say,
- 34:12Speaker 2: that's a typical BBC headline.
- 34:14Speaker 1: You got to give them credit for the consistency.
- 34:17Speaker 2: PBS leading genocide scholar organization says Israel is committing genocide
- 34:21Speaker 2: in Gaza. Watching approach is those committing genocide in Gaza,
- 34:25Speaker 2: Leading Scholars Association says, and you could go on.
- 34:30Speaker 1: Well.
- 34:31Speaker 2: Last one CNN International Scholars of Genocides, International Association of
- 34:36Speaker 2: Genocide Scholars is all as actions meet the legal definition.
- 34:42Speaker 2: It turns out that this association of scholars of genocide
- 34:50Speaker 2: experts is a farce.
- 34:55Speaker 3: These are random activists, you know, the actual you know
- 35:04Speaker 3: association is an association anybody can join, even you who.
- 35:09Speaker 2: Are not an expert on genocide can join for one
- 35:12Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five dollars. You need no actual scholarship
- 35:17Speaker 2: to join, you need no publications.
- 35:20Speaker 1: One hundred and twenty five dollars and you're in.
- 35:24Speaker 2: And you know, if you don't want to pay one
- 35:29Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five, they might take a lower offer.
- 35:33Speaker 2: This is the world's leading association of genocide scholars. Now,
- 35:38Speaker 2: by the way, since they've been outed as just a
- 35:42Speaker 2: website that takes money and run by activists who who
- 35:51Speaker 2: you know, then put out press releases claiming to be
- 35:53Speaker 2: an international association of scholar of genocide scholars. Since they've
- 35:58Speaker 2: been owded, they've activated the website and they threw to account,
- 36:06Speaker 2: so they disappeared leading association of genocide Scholars.
- 36:11Speaker 1: They're not even defending themselves, they've just disappeared.
- 36:17Speaker 2: So no scholars in the leading worlds leading association as
- 36:22Speaker 2: genocide scholars. This is the kind of journalism you get BBC, CNN,
- 36:30Speaker 2: none of these you know in Western post newngsimes, none
- 36:34Speaker 2: of them.
- 36:36Speaker 1: Try to, you know, find out to what extent to
- 36:44Speaker 1: what extent.
- 36:46Speaker 2: This was actually real, they just accepted They just accepted it.
- 36:51Speaker 2: Now again, this is one example among many of the
- 36:54Speaker 2: kind of journalism that we're exposed to. So, yes, if
- 37:00Speaker 2: you've seen the genocide claim by leading scholars, I mean
- 37:05Speaker 2: they are a lot of scholars who think is that it's
- 37:07Speaker 2: committing genocide.
- 37:08Speaker 1: They're just playing raw.
- 37:10Speaker 2: The fact that your scholar doesn't give you any access
- 37:13Speaker 2: necessarily any specific.
- 37:15Speaker 1: Access to truth. But it is pretty stunning.
- 37:21Speaker 2: For the press to just annalanced leading, you know, and
- 37:27Speaker 2: not to check their sources.
- 37:37Speaker 1: Yeah, and the only reason Fox.
- 37:39Speaker 2: Didn't run it is because they don't like the conclusion, right.
- 37:45Speaker 2: I mean, the media today is split. They'll run the
- 37:48Speaker 2: news if they like it. I mean, that's what they
- 37:51Speaker 2: all agree. They run news they like. But it's not
- 37:56Speaker 2: like the right wing media that didn't run the story
- 37:59Speaker 2: is any clearing their sources, at verifying the stories, a
- 38:04Speaker 2: challenging the lies. Just to look at the latest interview
- 38:09Speaker 2: were best and on on Foxtion Neers where they accept
- 38:13Speaker 2: every one of his lies as a factual evidence. Those
- 38:18Speaker 2: of you who want to dig deeper into this, not
- 38:21Speaker 2: into the media, but into this issue of genocide. There
- 38:24Speaker 2: is a a you know, a major how many pages
- 38:29Speaker 2: is this? This is like forty five pages or something
- 38:32Speaker 2: fifty something pages report that has been published by the
- 38:37Speaker 2: Big and Sadda Center for Strategic Studies out of Balilan
- 38:41Speaker 2: University in Israel and the Census just published the study extensive.
- 38:49Speaker 2: It's extensive. You can get the pdf of it. Eight
- 38:53Speaker 2: chapters basically debunking the genocide allegations. A re examination of
- 38:59Speaker 2: these to come Outson the Wolf from October seventh, twenty
- 39:02Speaker 2: twenty three to June first, twenty twenty five. This was
- 39:06Speaker 2: published yesterday. I'll just read you from the intro. The
- 39:13Speaker 2: following study offers a thorough historical exploration and a quantitative
- 39:18Speaker 2: statistical analysis of the allegation that the State of Visual
- 39:21Speaker 2: committed genocide against Gauzian population following the October seventh, twenty
- 39:25Speaker 2: twenty three massacre. Specifically, we address the claims that Israel
- 39:29Speaker 2: intentionally starved with the Godsian population, that the idea forces
- 39:32Speaker 2: the liberty massacret citizens and it is really air force
- 39:36Speaker 2: carried out indiscriminate bombings, failing to distinguish between combatants and civilians,
- 39:41Speaker 2: and conduct the disproportionate strikes. The goal of this study
- 39:45Speaker 2: is to carefully assess both primary and secondary sources in
- 39:49Speaker 2: order to draw in dependent conclusions. But the factual aspects
- 39:52Speaker 2: of the conflict this process and those are viewing testimonies
- 39:55Speaker 2: by misources and the methodology of data collection utilized by
- 39:59Speaker 2: organizations and research as promoting the genocide allegation, as well
- 40:04Speaker 2: as conducting statistical analysis and distinguishing between narratives promoted by
- 40:09Speaker 2: various parties and verified facts. The purpose of our investigations
- 40:13Speaker 2: to identified the factual events that occurred, not to engage
- 40:17Speaker 2: in legal or ethical discourse. While discussing those legal and
- 40:20Speaker 2: ethical implications is important, we firmly believe such discussions cannot
- 40:24Speaker 2: be grounded in a solid foundation of facts to be
- 40:28Speaker 2: meaningful as well as relevant.
- 40:36Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean, the conclusion.
- 40:38Speaker 2: Is there's no genocide and it is always conducted a
- 40:43Speaker 2: war that has been careful not to kill civilians like
- 40:48Speaker 2: no other country probably ever has. But I encourage you
- 40:53Speaker 2: to check it out yourself. Eight chapters. You can view
- 40:58Speaker 2: the pdf. The pdf as.
- 41:04Speaker 1: Fifty no, no, I'm long it has this is you know,
- 41:08Speaker 1: three hundred and eleven pages. Three hundred and eleven pages.
- 41:12Speaker 2: So this is a real academic, scholarly investigation.
- 41:19Speaker 1: If you're interested in accessing this, you can check.
- 41:22Speaker 2: Out B B E. S A Center dot org. B
- 41:28Speaker 2: E s Acenter dot org and you can find you
- 41:31Speaker 2: can find it. You can find it there. Published yesterday.
- 41:41Speaker 2: All right, let's see, oh yeah, yesterday, yesterday, China put
- 41:48Speaker 2: on a show. God did date put on a show.
- 41:51Speaker 2: They had a military parade. Now, let me tell you,
- 41:55Speaker 2: authoritarian nations know how to do military parades.
- 42:00Speaker 1: I mean it completely put to shame.
- 42:03Speaker 2: The Trump you know, a laughable parade of a few
- 42:08Speaker 2: months ago. I mean, this was beautifully synchronized marching, saluting.
- 42:16Speaker 1: I mean, the lines were perfectly straight.
- 42:21Speaker 2: I mean, you watch videos of this, and while they
- 42:23Speaker 2: must have trained for hours and hours and hours, and
- 42:26Speaker 2: I mean I'm glad that the US military trains for
- 42:29Speaker 2: combat rather than trains for parades, and I hope it
- 42:34Speaker 2: continues to train for combat, not for parades. He's really
- 42:37Speaker 2: the military can never do a parade like this, never
- 42:40Speaker 2: do a parade like this, And if it could, then
- 42:43Speaker 2: I wonder about whether it was combat ready. So China
- 42:48Speaker 2: had this massive parade. She invited a Putin and King
- 42:55Speaker 2: jan Un or whatever his name is the brutal dictator
- 42:58Speaker 2: of North Korea.
- 43:00Speaker 1: Uh.
- 43:00Speaker 4: To see the parade, it was massive, you know, thousands
- 43:06Speaker 4: of troops launching, hundreds, maybe thousands of weapons, systems, equipment,
- 43:11Speaker 4: new A lot of the newer, newest equipment that.
- 43:14Speaker 2: The Chinese government has been developing was out on display,
- 43:19Speaker 2: and you know, and quite impressive.
- 43:24Speaker 1: Uh.
- 43:24Speaker 2: They brought out drones, the latest kind of coolest drones,
- 43:29Speaker 2: the airplanes, you know, and a lot of the weapons. Indeed,
- 43:36Speaker 2: most of the weapons and platforms for weapons. Uh, you know,
- 43:40Speaker 2: a lot of them on you. Most of them went
- 43:42Speaker 2: on you, but a few of them were you every land.
- 43:45Speaker 2: See an a platform is that the Chinese are displaying
- 43:52Speaker 2: right now is more modern than what the United States
- 43:58Speaker 2: and Europe have in the inventory.
- 44:01Speaker 1: Now new it doesn't mean better, but.
- 44:08Speaker 2: You know, Chinese producing new weapons, designing new weapons, bringing
- 44:15Speaker 2: to the forefront new weapons.
- 44:16Speaker 1: Now.
- 44:16Speaker 2: The big difference, of course, is big difference of course
- 44:19Speaker 2: is that Western military equipment is being tested.
- 44:22Speaker 1: Daily in the Middle East in Israel by Israel, which
- 44:28Speaker 1: you can't put a number on the value of that testing, right.
- 44:31Speaker 2: I mean that in and of itself is probably worth
- 44:34Speaker 2: more than all the foreign aid the United States provides Israel,
- 44:38Speaker 2: but put that aside. Western equipment is being tested in Ukraine,
- 44:43Speaker 2: and was tested in the past in Iraq, and is
- 44:46Speaker 2: being tested constantly in conflicts.
- 44:49Speaker 1: Around the world.
- 44:49Speaker 2: So we know Western equipment works or in some cases doesn't,
- 44:54Speaker 2: and we can fix it. These are shiny new toys
- 44:57Speaker 2: that the Chinese are bringing out. They just toys, destructive toys.
- 45:02Speaker 2: The question is where they work. Uh.
- 45:07Speaker 1: The new weapons and platforms, uh show continue.
- 45:12Speaker 2: Advance in military R and D and and and real investment.
- 45:17Speaker 1: Uh.
- 45:18Speaker 2: You saw unmanned submarines, unmanned Uh. You know aircraft both
- 45:26Speaker 2: you know, rotary and fixed wing aircraft.
- 45:29Speaker 1: Uh.
- 45:30Speaker 2: You saw a whole array of new types of missiles.
- 45:37Speaker 1: Uh and uh, and then you've got yue vs.
- 45:40Speaker 2: Indeed, Uh, there was a YUEV on the back of
- 45:43Speaker 2: every infantry fighting vehicle. And what you have now is
- 45:50Speaker 2: a you know, years ago, the Chinese military basically was
- 45:55Speaker 2: a copy of the Russian Their weapons systems were all copies.
- 45:58Speaker 1: Of Russian weapons systems.
- 46:00Speaker 2: The planes or copies of megs, the tanks or copies
- 46:04Speaker 2: of the TI series tanks. Say, you know, the one
- 46:09Speaker 2: thing that's astounding about this parade and about.
- 46:12Speaker 1: The state of Chinese weapons.
- 46:16Speaker 2: These all made in China, These all designed in China,
- 46:19Speaker 2: These are all being innovated in China. They have unbelievable
- 46:25Speaker 2: indigenous capabilities. Indeed, Russian weapons systems a crap. Crap is
- 46:31Speaker 2: a compliment. And I've talked about this since the beginning
- 46:33Speaker 2: of the Ukraine War, actually for a long time before then,
- 46:36Speaker 2: but certainly since the beginning of the Ukraine War, that
- 46:38Speaker 2: Russian weapons systems are crap.
- 46:40Speaker 1: I'm not so sure about Chinese weapons systems. We don't know.
- 46:43Speaker 1: You've never seen them in combat. We don't know.
- 46:46Speaker 2: But they are cutting edge technology, the state of the art.
- 46:51Speaker 2: They've invested a lot, and there's a lot of RND
- 46:53Speaker 2: going into it.
- 46:56Speaker 1: Now.
- 46:56Speaker 2: Of course, this is just a parade. You can parade anything.
- 47:00Speaker 2: The real question is what is their capabilities? Can they fight?
- 47:04Speaker 2: Are they going to be effective? You know, are the
- 47:09Speaker 2: soldiers well trained, highly motivated. They can parade, they can
- 47:14Speaker 2: launch in syncronty unlike American troops in Israeli troops, but
- 47:22Speaker 2: can they fight? Where the weapons systems work, they look
- 47:25Speaker 2: amazing on paper. It's very different. And America does have
- 47:31Speaker 2: the advantage of constantly I mean, I've read stories where
- 47:37Speaker 2: the company that makes the F thirty five, says that
- 47:43Speaker 2: the experience, the knowledge, the feedback they get from Israel's
- 47:47Speaker 2: use of the F thirty five is worth hundreds of
- 47:50Speaker 2: billions of dollars in their ability to then make the
- 47:55Speaker 2: air plane, constantly make the air plane better, refine it, at.
- 47:59Speaker 1: Tools to it.
- 48:01Speaker 2: So it's gonna be interesting to see if these weapons
- 48:04Speaker 2: systems the Chinese have as good as advertised. I mean,
- 48:08Speaker 2: I hope we never see that. But now look the
- 48:16Speaker 2: this parade was there too. Wow Er er er a
- 48:20Speaker 2: lot of the participants, which were mainly China's n Asian neighbors,
- 48:28Speaker 2: to tell them that the focus is you know, this
- 48:31Speaker 2: is the power.
- 48:32Speaker 1: This is who they're gonna have to deal with. It's
- 48:35Speaker 1: not the United States, it's.
- 48:38Speaker 2: China, and that they should because China has this amazing force.
- 48:44Speaker 1: Now, I don't think this changes anything.
- 48:47Speaker 2: I think that the country is the one end coaching
- 48:50Speaker 2: up to China will and I think the countries that don't,
- 48:53Speaker 2: well now look at this and say, Okay, we need
- 48:54Speaker 2: to spend more money on the fence and we need
- 48:56Speaker 2: to get more advanced weapons systems. I don't think this
- 48:58Speaker 2: changes anything. One of the questions you have to ask though.
- 49:05Speaker 2: By the way, I like, there's a guy on Twitter,
- 49:11Speaker 2: a commentator, Mike Ryan, who's a strategist, a retired Army
- 49:16Speaker 2: major general, who's been pretty good on Ukraine and Russia
- 49:20Speaker 2: and China. So I encourage you to, if you're interested
- 49:23Speaker 2: in this kind of stuff, to follow him.
- 49:27Speaker 1: What's puta thinking?
- 49:29Speaker 2: Like?
- 49:31Speaker 1: One thing? This makes very clear China. I mean Russia
- 49:35Speaker 1: is a third rate military power.
- 49:40Speaker 2: Third rate I mean the United States and NATO first rate,
- 49:44Speaker 2: China first or second.
- 49:47Speaker 1: We don't know Russia not in the picture at all.
- 49:51Speaker 2: I mean Russia does have it does not have anywhere
- 49:55Speaker 2: near the technological capabilities, the modern production capabilities, the modern.
- 50:03Speaker 1: Tech, the modern R and D that China has.
- 50:06Speaker 2: It doesn't have the drones, it doesn't have the airplanes,
- 50:09Speaker 2: it doesn't have the the you know, the the unmanned
- 50:14Speaker 2: submarines and unmanned everything else. It doesn't have the sophisticated missiles.
- 50:21Speaker 1: It has brute force, but that's about it. So Russians
- 50:32Speaker 1: have nukes, Yeah, they have nukes.
- 50:35Speaker 2: They have nukes. If they work, nobody really knows if
- 50:37Speaker 2: they work. They're old again, no tech. We know the
- 50:41Speaker 2: Chinese nukes all new China's building up a massive nuclearsenal.
- 50:47Speaker 1: Remember too, the China and Russia.
- 50:50Speaker 2: Fort was was There is disputed territory between China and Russia.
- 50:56Speaker 2: Russia's told many of the troops that it had on
- 50:59Speaker 2: it eastern border.
- 51:01Speaker 1: It's pulled them to Ukraine. I imagine if China.
- 51:06Speaker 2: Decided one day Eastern Russia should really be ours. Let
- 51:12Speaker 2: Russia have the West, We'll take the east. Other than
- 51:19Speaker 2: with nukes, which might it might not work.
- 51:24Speaker 1: Russia has no capacity to.
- 51:25Speaker 2: Stop them, It has no military capabilities.
- 51:29Speaker 1: They commands to Chinese.
- 51:35Speaker 2: Anyway, This is where we are, and it is interesting.
- 51:40Speaker 1: She made a speech about this is.
- 51:43Speaker 2: All to commemorate the victory over the Japanese in World
- 51:46Speaker 2: War Two.
- 51:47Speaker 1: He made a speech.
- 51:47Speaker 2: About the reinvigorated Chinese nation, the Chinese nations being unstoppable,
- 51:54Speaker 2: a very non communist speech, much more nationalistic speech, which
- 51:58Speaker 2: I think is what they are national as fascist types.
- 52:04Speaker 2: He didn't mention the United States with pissed trump off.
- 52:06Speaker 2: Trump was commenting today about how he should have mixed.
- 52:09Speaker 2: She is a friend of his, but she really should
- 52:12Speaker 2: have mentioned the United States.
- 52:13Speaker 1: We helped him a lot to win World War Two.
- 52:16Speaker 1: We helped him.
- 52:17Speaker 2: We won the war for them. So but she didn't
- 52:21Speaker 2: mention Trump. I mean, the whole thing is kind of
- 52:24Speaker 2: a snub to Trump. Trump cannot put on a parade,
- 52:27Speaker 2: I can, says she. Trump wasn't invited. He wasn't there.
- 52:32Speaker 2: This is Victory Day, eighty years since victory, and the
- 52:37Speaker 2: Americans are now represented. So yeah, China perceives herself to
- 52:47Speaker 2: be on the rise, to be replacing the United States soon.
- 52:53Speaker 2: Just something funny that happened on the sideline of this
- 52:57Speaker 2: they're walking putin she and Kim. I hate it, calling
- 53:02Speaker 2: Kim like he doesn't deserve a first name, like the
- 53:04Speaker 2: Bruto dictator of North Korea. The Trump's best friend anyway,
- 53:10Speaker 2: three of Trump's best friends, right, these are the three
- 53:13Speaker 2: people trump most admirers in the world. And they didn't
- 53:16Speaker 2: invite him to the party. They had a party and
- 53:18Speaker 2: he wasn't invited. He must be feeling really bad. Anyway,
- 53:21Speaker 2: Before I get to this kind of funny story, seven
- 53:26Speaker 2: out of twenty were short. Thirteen super chats to make
- 53:32Speaker 2: our goal. Thirteen super chats to make our goal of
- 53:34Speaker 2: twenty super chats in forty five minutes.
- 53:37Speaker 1: Wow, that's pretty lame.
- 53:39Speaker 2: That we haven't met that goal, because that shouldn't be
- 53:43Speaker 2: that hard. Twenty and forty five minutes. That's every two minutes.
- 53:47Speaker 2: We usually crush that easily. So let me appeal to
- 53:51Speaker 2: you to support the show. Support the show by asking
- 53:54Speaker 2: a question. Asking a question also contribute to the show
- 53:57Speaker 2: because then we then answer the question, so that continbutes content.
- 54:02Speaker 2: And you can also do a sticker. Those counts. It
- 54:06Speaker 2: does count the stickers as well. And that's just a
- 54:09Speaker 2: way for us the trade value for value. You know,
- 54:13Speaker 2: you listen to show, you pay for listening, which is
- 54:17Speaker 2: the value you provide. So let's say we get some
- 54:19Speaker 2: new people new people first time, as second time. There's
- 54:22Speaker 2: the third time is to do some stickers and super chats.
- 54:26Speaker 2: Help us meet our challenge twenty super chats in forty
- 54:31Speaker 2: five minutes. That you know, YouTube is going to be
- 54:35Speaker 2: very disappointed if I can't meet this one. I mean,
- 54:38Speaker 2: we did really well yesterday, you know, and but I'm greedy,
- 54:42Speaker 2: so I want us to do well today as well.
- 54:45Speaker 1: Why just do well one day? We should we should
- 54:47Speaker 1: do well every day. There we go.
- 54:50Speaker 2: We got a few, we're good, but the counter doesn't
- 54:54Speaker 2: count them all.
- 54:55Speaker 1: It's really weird. It's not catching up.
- 55:03Speaker 2: You notice that, guys, Sometimes it counts them and sometimes
- 55:07Speaker 2: it doesn't.
- 55:11Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
- 55:12Speaker 2: I'm gonna be complaining to YouTube. Definitely complaining to YouTube.
- 55:16Speaker 1: All right, We do.
- 55:17Speaker 2: Have a monetary goal much more important than the number
- 55:20Speaker 2: of chats is a monetary goal. We do have a
- 55:23Speaker 2: monetary goal of two hundred and fifty dollars in the
- 55:25Speaker 2: first hour for every hour. So let's try to make
- 55:29Speaker 2: the two hundred and fifty with one eight three. So
- 55:30Speaker 2: we need seventy dollars to make it up.
- 55:33Speaker 1: Again, value for value, Let's let's be treated here.
- 55:35Speaker 2: And make it worthwhile for me to be spending this
- 55:38Speaker 2: time doing the show for you and you expressing the
- 55:42Speaker 2: value of what I provide. So, in a hot mic
- 55:48Speaker 2: conversation between Si and Putin, which again and a Buddha
- 55:54Speaker 2: dictator of North Korea walking by them. Putin, and this
- 55:59Speaker 2: has been captured by Chinese state media and broadcast live,
- 56:05Speaker 2: Putin is talking about human organ transplants and the possibility
- 56:11Speaker 2: of living to be one hundred and fifty.
- 56:14Speaker 1: Years or even forever.
- 56:18Speaker 2: Right, the Putin's translator is heard saying in Chinese biotechnology
- 56:25Speaker 2: is continuously developing. The translator added after an inaudible passage,
- 56:30Speaker 2: Ry puts in Tishi. Human organs can be continually transplanted.
- 56:35Speaker 2: The longer you live, the younger you become, and you
- 56:38Speaker 2: can even achieve immortality. Now now we know what drives
- 56:46Speaker 2: these guys. They want to be immortal. Now you know,
- 56:50Speaker 2: they want to be in dictators for life, and they
- 56:53Speaker 2: expect life to be forever. It's actually unbelievably disgusting that
- 57:01Speaker 2: these people, that these monsters, all three of them are monsters,
- 57:05Speaker 2: All three of them are way down there in one
- 57:08Speaker 2: of the low rungs of hell at least should be,
- 57:11Speaker 2: and all of them out here, you know, pushing.
- 57:18Speaker 1: This idea of life extension. They don't deserve it.
- 57:23Speaker 2: There's a sense in which technologies shouldn't be available to
- 57:26Speaker 2: a theberitarian thugs when they talk about transplants. So the
- 57:30Speaker 2: thing that goes in my mind is are they going
- 57:34Speaker 2: to ask the recipient, the donor, if they want to donate,
- 57:38Speaker 2: or they're just going to take it so that they
- 57:40Speaker 2: can stay young. When they say things like, you know,
- 57:47Speaker 2: human organ transplants, the possibility of living one hundred and
- 57:50Speaker 2: fifty and continuously transplanted ogan is continuously transplanted.
- 57:55Speaker 1: Where these organs coming from.
- 57:57Speaker 2: Political prisoners, just any prisoners, just people randomly taken from
- 58:02Speaker 2: their streets.
- 58:04Speaker 1: They can do that, they can get away with it.
- 58:08Speaker 1: It's scary. Chinese people should be scared anyway.
- 58:15Speaker 2: But this is Prudy's But you can see Putin's fantasy.
- 58:17Speaker 2: This is Putin, you know, talking about this and emphasizing this.
- 58:21Speaker 2: This is what he really wants is to live forever,
- 58:26Speaker 2: to live forever and inflict his horror on all of
- 58:32Speaker 2: us forever. All right, Finally we talked about weapons systems.
- 58:38Speaker 1: You know.
- 58:38Speaker 2: One of the amazing one of the really amazing stories,
- 58:41Speaker 2: I think books that will be written about this in
- 58:42Speaker 2: the future, really amazing stories, is the story of the
- 58:48Speaker 2: Ukrainian military, well, the Ukrainian industrial response to the war
- 58:55Speaker 2: with Russia. The ability of the Ukrainians to pivot to
- 59:02Speaker 2: designing and building and producing and making some of.
- 59:06Speaker 1: The worst world's most advanced drones.
- 59:09Speaker 2: And by advance here what I mean not necessarily the
- 59:11Speaker 2: greatest and best tech.
- 59:12Speaker 1: What I mean by advanced is advance for the battlefield.
- 59:21Speaker 2: I mean in twenty twenty two, Ukraine produced zero military drones.
- 59:27Speaker 2: Zero In twenty twenty four, it produced two million, two
- 59:35Speaker 2: million in.
- 59:37Speaker 1: Twenty twenty five. The goal is more than four million.
- 59:42Speaker 2: Now, these are not just cookie cut up all the
- 59:46Speaker 2: same looking drawn These are drones that are constantly being
- 59:52Speaker 2: changed adjusted. Wose technology is constantly being modified to keep
- 59:57Speaker 2: up with battlefield demands and to keep up with the
- 59:59Speaker 2: respon sponsor that the Russians have to them the response
- 1:00:06Speaker 2: The secret here, which I think is very very indicative.
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: The secret here is that the.
- 1:00:12Speaker 2: Money to buy the drones is not allocated from the
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: top down. It does not go from the Defense department
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: to the military industrial complex. The money goes to the
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: units on the battlefield. They get to decide what drones
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: to buy. They provide the feedback to the engineers, what
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: the drones, what drones are needed, and there is a
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: constant full of information. There's a constant trial and error
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: going on, ingenuinism, ingenuity on the flying.
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: In battle conditions. I don't think this has ever happened.
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: In the history a battle and at the speed anyway,
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: and in the history of weapons. So you know, whatever
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: money the government allocates, it outgates to the units. The
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: cash the units, the soldiers then decide what to buy,
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: provide the feedback to the engineers and they get the drones.
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: That's on the end of it.
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: They probably feedback to the engineer on how the drone
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: has done. Maybe a software patch, maybe a different hardware
- 1:01:30Speaker 2: feature is added, and maybe a new generation of drones
- 1:01:34Speaker 2: is being produced. We're talking about over four million drones
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: from a country that three years ago produced zero, zilch, nada,
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: no drones. So we don't have a Soviet era style
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: bureaucracy running per chromas.
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: For the.
- 1:02:07Speaker 2: For the Ukrainian military, what we have is a silicon
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: valley like trial and error, you know, build it, make it,
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: test it, try it again, startups. We don't have a
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: few big I mean, it's the other thing. It's not
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: like Ukraine has two big drug manufacturers that make all
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: their drones.
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: No, there are dozens are small.
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: Drug companies building prototypes, testing them and then going into production.
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: Local mares, city mayors. Can you know, can we direct
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: funding to buy drones? School teachers and nuns raise money
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: for soldiers to buy equipment that is not available by
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: government percorrement. And again, drone requirements come from the soldiers,
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: from the people on the field, the people who use them,
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: exactly opposite of sadly how percurement works in the United States.
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: I mean, this is an ideal model for the design
- 1:03:25Speaker 2: and deployment of weapon systems in the twenty first century.
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: If we don't necessarily have to learn the weapon systems,
- 1:03:32Speaker 2: because each combat conditions are going to be different, but
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: we certainly can learn a huge amount from the method
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: the system by which they procurre these weapon systems.
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: That's why we should be learning this again.
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: Startup Silicon Valley at this supply chain with constant, instant feedback,
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: and if the United States can learn from that, it's
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: got a shot at matching just the sheer size and
- 1:04:15Speaker 2: the ability of the Chinese to produce in massive quantities.
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: Otherwise we're in trouble, as this parade illustrated. All right, guys,
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: we have That was the news for Wednesday, September third.
- 1:04:38Speaker 2: Let's see, the forty five minutes are up and we
- 1:04:42Speaker 2: only got fourteen super checks.
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: Not good. I'm gonna have to up your game, guys.
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: No, Linda, I don't think it counts because it came
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: in after the after the but of course two the
- 1:04:57Speaker 2: money counts, which is much more important. All right, I

- 1:08:57Speaker 2: right there. All right, let's go with the super chat.
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: You know.
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: We'll start with Michael Generous Michael, who has one hundred
- 1:09:07Speaker 2: dollars super chat question. It's fantastic, Michael, thank you, and
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: please the rest of you guys should consider being like Michael.
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: Do you think it's immature for objectives to be frustrated
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: or impulsive but not being able to change the culture yet,
- 1:09:25Speaker 2: or should we be morally ambitious and demand expect of
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: our fellow citizens to be model enough to recognize the
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: truth in this philosophy. I mean, I think there's suddenly
- 1:09:35Speaker 2: an immaturity about not thinking through what is necessary in
- 1:09:42Speaker 2: order to change the culture. You need a theory if
- 1:09:44Speaker 2: you're going to have an opinion about it, you need
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: a theory to lash out at people.
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: Why don't you get.
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: It when you know it's obvious Most of them don't
- 1:09:54Speaker 2: and won't, and it will take a long time for
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: them to get it, because it takes a long time
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: to change ideas, and in particular, it takes a long
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: time to change fundamental ideas ideas about epistemology and ethics.
- 1:10:12Speaker 2: These are very difficult to shift. It's very difficult to
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: change your culture, and objectivism is very young in terms
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: of its efforts to do so. So I think being
- 1:10:33Speaker 2: impatient with regards to this is unhelpful.
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: I think you should be morally ambitious.
- 1:10:40Speaker 2: But there's no point in demanding something that you cannot
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: that the other person cannot give you. You can't demand that
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: they salute objectivism when they don't understand it, and you
- 1:10:52Speaker 2: can't expect something they are ready for.
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: So what you need to do is.
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: Keep going after and keep helping promote these ideas to
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: the people who are most likely to embrace them and
- 1:11:07Speaker 2: to give them why. You know, but this is why
- 1:11:10Speaker 2: you should be supporting nine Man Institute. You shoul supporting
- 1:11:12Speaker 2: the Iron Book so because I think these are the
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: best avenues today to expose people to Ironman's ideas and
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: to encourage them and to get them to read her books.
- 1:11:25Speaker 2: And we're not going to win the battle unless we
- 1:11:27Speaker 2: can do much more of that. And you know, so
- 1:11:33Speaker 2: that is what is currently needed. Being upset and being
- 1:11:39Speaker 2: angry and being frustrated because not more people understand the
- 1:11:43Speaker 2: philosophy doesn't give you anything. Asking why what could we
- 1:11:48Speaker 2: be doing better? How could we better be how could
- 1:11:51Speaker 2: we be better communicators of these ideas? But look, Ironman
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: was the best communicative of these ideas. Al Sad the
- 1:11:59Speaker 2: sold millions and millions and millions of copies she didn't
- 1:12:04Speaker 2: convince that many people, but maybe she convinced the most
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: important people, so it can just be better communication. There
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: is obviously something in the culture that makes it very
- 1:12:21Speaker 2: difficult for us to have.
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: Dramatic fast change.
- 1:12:27Speaker 2: So be morally ambitious, be culturally ambitious, Be ambitious in
- 1:12:34Speaker 2: the goals you set for yourself in terms of communicating
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: and supporting those who communicate the ideas of objectivism. But
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: getting angry and impulsive about it doesn't help, all right, Wes,
- 1:12:49Speaker 2: thank you fifty dollars sticker. Really really appreciate that. That
- 1:12:53Speaker 2: reminds me I should think the stick of people. Thank you, Margaret,
- 1:12:58Speaker 2: Thank you, Raphael, you did a bunch of them. Esthetic dichotomy,
- 1:13:02Speaker 2: thank you, thank you, Paul, thank you, Audi, Yeah, thank you, Volta,
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: thank you.
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: There's a feel again a couple of times. Thank you.
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: Jonathan must be there. Maybe not maybe today. It took
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: the day off today, but let's see. I think we
- 1:13:23Speaker 2: caught everybody. Yep, I think I got everybody. So thank
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: you guys. Thanks to all the people who do stickers
- 1:13:30Speaker 2: and all the people do super chats, and I appreciate
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: the support. Ben I spoke to a colleague about a
- 1:13:38Speaker 2: British water company scandal. Today I realized that I knew
- 1:13:41Speaker 2: very little about how privatized water would have been supplied.
- 1:13:46Speaker 2: Would franchising be valid like the system they have in France.
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: God, I do not know what the system is in France,
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: so I don't know how that works.
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: But I mean, I don't know enough about the history
- 1:14:01Speaker 2: of private water and how private water can be delivered
- 1:14:05Speaker 2: and could be delivered. I'd have to really do the
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: research into that and do some thinking.
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: But at the end of the.
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: Day, think about the fact that the resource itself should
- 1:14:15Speaker 2: be private. The equofer the place in which the water
- 1:14:19Speaker 2: is held, just like the oil is private.
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: The water should be private.
- 1:14:24Speaker 2: So private companies should be able to access mine, drive
- 1:14:29Speaker 2: for the water, and then be able to supply that
- 1:14:34Speaker 2: water to other companies I think that specialize in the
- 1:14:38Speaker 2: last mile, that specialize in the living water to the
- 1:14:41Speaker 2: last mile, and how those companies compete with one another,
- 1:14:46Speaker 2: how they deliver the product to the final to the residents.
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: I mean, that's going to be interesting. You know. You
- 1:14:54Speaker 2: could imagine a variety of different water tanks operated by
- 1:14:58Speaker 2: different companies getting their water different other companies, and you
- 1:15:02Speaker 2: can imagine every new development, having a very simple like
- 1:15:08Speaker 2: dugged in trench which different companies can place their hardware
- 1:15:14Speaker 2: in and.
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: It can be easily added.
- 1:15:20Speaker 2: And you can imagine the technologies that would develop to
- 1:15:23Speaker 2: easily add new hardware, new pipes, and new competitors can
- 1:15:27Speaker 2: enter the market and you can do amazing things.
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: It would be a lot harder.
- 1:15:31Speaker 2: With existing homes in businesses, which is the vast majority
- 1:15:36Speaker 2: of them, but I'm sure you could come up with
- 1:15:38Speaker 2: unbelievable I'm sure the market would come up with unbelievably
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: creative ways to deliver water to homes and be competitive.
- 1:15:51Speaker 2: So a lot of times when it comes to markets,
- 1:15:55Speaker 2: you have to say, you know, I don't know how
- 1:15:57Speaker 2: that will work. Nobody knows how that will work. Indeed,
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: that's the beauty of markets. They are discovery processes. Markets
- 1:16:07Speaker 2: are discovery processes. Markets discover events create new ways of
- 1:16:15Speaker 2: doing things that didn't exist before. All right, thanks thanks Bannon,
- 1:16:30Speaker 2: good question, listend up. Let's reach those goals. Thank you
- 1:16:34Speaker 2: Listender for helping us reach those goals. Really really appreciated.
- 1:16:38Speaker 2: Dave fifty dollars, Thank you, Dave. Oh, I call MYSELBROV.
- 1:16:40Speaker 2: Thank you for the sticker. Really appreciate it. What's your
- 1:16:43Speaker 2: assessment of how others promote the idea that every individual
- 1:16:47Speaker 2: has the exact same cognitive capacity and therefore all beliefs
- 1:16:51Speaker 2: are equal based on that premise cognitive egalitarianism. What's the
- 1:16:57Speaker 2: assessment of how others from mode the idea that every
- 1:17:01Speaker 2: individual has the exact same cognitive capacity and therefore all
- 1:17:04Speaker 2: beliefs are equally based.
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: On that premise. God, I'm not sure I understand the question.
- 1:17:09Speaker 1: But you know, you don't have many people who actually.
- 1:17:14Speaker 2: Say that we all have the same cognitive capacity, at
- 1:17:19Speaker 2: least I don't know of any. Maybe some people in
- 1:17:21Speaker 2: the Fall Left do the galitarians of the Fall Left
- 1:17:25Speaker 2: say well, we all have the same exactly the same capabilities,
- 1:17:28Speaker 2: the same intelligence, the same abilities. It's possible, but and
- 1:17:36Speaker 2: and we're corrupted. Yeah, I guess that's the case. I mean,
- 1:17:39Speaker 2: we're corrupted by society. So we all have the same
- 1:17:42Speaker 2: cognitive abilities when we're born, but then society corrupts us,
- 1:17:47Speaker 2: and blacks, you know, are repressed and therefore their cognitive
- 1:17:52Speaker 2: abilities never developed, and women are oppressed, so they they
- 1:17:55Speaker 2: supposedly this is what they argue. I mean, I think
- 1:18:00Speaker 2: there's something true to that in a sense that I
- 1:18:03Speaker 2: think you can't suppress people's cognitive abilities quite dramatically, and
- 1:18:07Speaker 2: culture does that quite effectively. But the idea that people
- 1:18:12Speaker 2: have the same capacity when they're born is just absurd
- 1:18:16Speaker 2: and ridiculous. I mean, it's just wrong, and I think
- 1:18:23Speaker 2: it comes from I mean, the reason it sustains itself,
- 1:18:27Speaker 2: this idea.
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: Is because.
- 1:18:32Speaker 2: You know, galitarianism is such a powerful idea.
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: You know, people believe.
- 1:18:37Speaker 5: Equality is to be all and all, and they also
- 1:18:41Speaker 5: believe that if they give up on equality, quality of outcome,
- 1:18:43Speaker 5: equality of all, equal equal inabilities, not just in our outcomes,
- 1:18:48Speaker 5: not just in our rights.
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: If you give up on that.
- 1:18:51Speaker 2: Idea, they believe, then you have to then you are
- 1:18:56Speaker 2: a fascist, because then you assume some people are better
- 1:19:00Speaker 2: better than others. And they can differentiate between better being
- 1:19:05Speaker 2: smarter than better being more moral and morality being more
- 1:19:10Speaker 2: important and smallest. They can't differentiate between character and intelligence,
- 1:19:18Speaker 2: and between the importance of character and imputants of intelligence
- 1:19:22Speaker 2: versus the importance of intelligence.
- 1:19:25Speaker 1: So it's.
- 1:19:31Speaker 2: They are so opposed hierarchy of any form that they're
- 1:19:36Speaker 2: willing to give up and sacrifice facts reality in order
- 1:19:42Speaker 2: to pretend that the world that they wishes existed, I
- 1:19:46Speaker 2: guess actually did exist, but it doesn't. We're all different.
- 1:19:50Speaker 2: All of us are different, and that's what they hate
- 1:19:52Speaker 2: to acknowledge. They've do you think both right and left
- 1:20:02Speaker 2: political parties are working together against American citizens since they
- 1:20:05Speaker 2: seem to be actively working to prevent the public from
- 1:20:08Speaker 2: accessing information surrounding the Epstein Epstein deficult? No, I mean
- 1:20:15Speaker 2: I don't think so, not regularly now, when an issue
- 1:20:20Speaker 2: like this it comes across, I think that they're probably
- 1:20:24Speaker 2: I don't know again, and we don't know a lot,
- 1:20:27Speaker 2: but they're probably powerful people who are named in these files,
- 1:20:32Speaker 2: who are going to be named by the victims, whether
- 1:20:34Speaker 2: they committed a crime or.
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: Not, we don't know. Who would rather not have their
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: name in the newspapers.
- 1:20:42Speaker 2: And some of them are Republicans and some of them
- 1:20:44Speaker 2: are Democrats, some of them Republican donors and some Democratic donors.
- 1:20:48Speaker 2: And they are putting pressure visa Vine this particular case
- 1:20:52Speaker 2: on politicians. Don't disclose, don't bring it out, bury this,
- 1:20:57Speaker 2: let's forget it, let's move on, forget about all this.
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: So yeah, it's.
- 1:21:10Speaker 2: It's uh, it's possible. In a particular things they work together.
- 1:21:15Speaker 2: But no, no, there's no big conspiracy theory other political
- 1:21:18Speaker 2: class to screw us. They're screwing us because they're bad ideas,
- 1:21:22Speaker 2: not because they want to screw us. It's because the
- 1:21:26Speaker 2: ideas inevitably lead them to.
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: Doing bad things for us.
- 1:21:33Speaker 2: And then there are part specific cases where you get
- 1:21:37Speaker 2: powerful people on both sides of the aisle who are
- 1:21:39Speaker 2: going to support a particular cause because it's in their
- 1:21:44Speaker 2: so called interests.
- 1:21:51Speaker 1: Thank you, David.
- 1:21:53Speaker 2: And maybe the lies are covered for a deeper plan.
- 1:21:57Speaker 2: Maybe the lies were implanted in them by d Demans.
- 1:22:01Speaker 2: Maybe the lies are part of God's.
- 1:22:04Speaker 1: Plan for I don't know. I mean, you can say
- 1:22:09Speaker 1: any random thing you want to say. It's meaningless.
- 1:22:13Speaker 2: They're lying, and they're lying in stupid ways, and they're lying.
- 1:22:18Speaker 2: I mean, it's clear why they're lying. They're clearing what
- 1:22:21Speaker 2: the deeper plan is. The deeper plan is, and this
- 1:22:24Speaker 2: is a deeper plan that most politicians have.
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: But if you can implement the.
- 1:22:28Speaker 2: Deeper plan is is to make the American people oblivious
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: to the truth.
- 1:22:34Speaker 6: On all things, to to make them not care about reality,
- 1:22:47Speaker 6: and to just accept what the authorities tell them.
- 1:22:51Speaker 2: It's it's right out of the authoritarian playbook. It's right
- 1:22:56Speaker 2: out of this is how to become a dictator. I
- 1:23:00Speaker 2: granduosely and so frequently and so bigly that people it
- 1:23:08Speaker 2: completely desensitizes people to lives, and then you can get
- 1:23:12Speaker 2: away with anything. Robert, this super check counts towards creator's goal.
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: It does, Thank you, Robert. Tessa eighteen more super chests
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: to go.
- 1:23:28Speaker 2: We didn't make it, though, although I think if it
- 1:23:31Speaker 2: had counted all the super chests that actually were made,
- 1:23:35Speaker 2: we would have got there. There's some flaw in the
- 1:23:38Speaker 2: software that's not counting everything. I will complain.
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: Paul.
- 1:23:44Speaker 2: Do you think the Kaman Gaza offensive will finally put
- 1:23:47Speaker 2: an end to Haramas rule? God, I don't know. I
- 1:23:52Speaker 2: think there's going to be a deal. I don't think
- 1:23:55Speaker 2: the offensive is going to go through. There's a lot
- 1:23:59Speaker 2: of pressure. Yeah, we will see. We will see what
- 1:24:05Speaker 2: exactly happens. But will Hamas be thoroughly, systematically and equivocally
- 1:24:12Speaker 2: destroyed by the end of all of this, I hope.
- 1:24:16Speaker 1: So.
- 1:24:17Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't have a lot of confidence.
- 1:24:20Speaker 2: I'm sixty forty against.
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: For what it's worth.
- 1:24:26Speaker 2: I just think Hamas will find a way to embed
- 1:24:29Speaker 2: itself in whatever remains in Gaza, and Israel will not
- 1:24:34Speaker 2: ultimately do.
- 1:24:35Speaker 1: It's necessary to get rid of them.
- 1:24:38Speaker 2: Benjamin says, have you heard of the Norwegian Oil Funds
- 1:24:43Speaker 2: Ethical Committee pulling funds out of companies involved in Israel?
- 1:24:47Speaker 1: Any opinions?
- 1:24:48Speaker 2: What do you think of the long term effects politically diplomatically, Well,
- 1:24:51Speaker 2: I think it's damn right evil of them to do it.
- 1:24:55Speaker 2: I think it's disgusting and evil. They'll invest in Saudi Arabia,
- 1:25:00Speaker 2: invest in the UAE, they'll invest in a lot of
- 1:25:03Speaker 2: countries that abuse individual rights constantly all the time, and
- 1:25:10Speaker 2: Israel is defending itself, and they'll penalize Israel. So no
- 1:25:14Speaker 2: way has just been horrible, just horrible, terrible on the
- 1:25:18Speaker 2: whole Israel thing. And it says something about them all
- 1:25:23Speaker 2: status of the Norwegian government and maybe the Norwegian people
- 1:25:27Speaker 2: if this is what they believe.
- 1:25:29Speaker 1: So I think it's terrible. Well, in the long term
- 1:25:31Speaker 1: matter of facts, I mean.
- 1:25:34Speaker 2: Very little ultimately diplomatically, I don't think Israel has that
- 1:25:37Speaker 2: much clout politically. I don't know Norwegian politics to know
- 1:25:41Speaker 2: if it has any. But it's going to create a
- 1:25:47Speaker 2: situation where the fund which shouldn't exist. The Norwegian Fund
- 1:25:53Speaker 2: shouldn't exist. It is a travesty. It should have never existed,
- 1:26:00Speaker 2: politicized by particular political elements, political groups, and that will
- 1:26:05Speaker 2: ownly increase, and that will make it less effective and
- 1:26:07Speaker 2: less productive, and it will make the returns of it
- 1:26:10Speaker 2: less good.
- 1:26:11Speaker 1: And yeah, so it'll make it. It won't make it. It won't.
- 1:26:18Speaker 2: It's gonna make the fund less successful. But the fund
- 1:26:21Speaker 2: is a legitimate to begin with. There should be no
- 1:26:24Speaker 2: such thing as sovereign wealth funds. All wealth is private,
- 1:26:29Speaker 2: not sovereign. Sovereign has should have zero wealth. Kim says,
- 1:26:36Speaker 2: you said don't save when you're young, But what if
- 1:26:40Speaker 2: I want the option to retire early and travel the
- 1:26:42Speaker 2: world for.
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: A few days. He is, Look, I'm not saying don't
- 1:26:45Speaker 1: save when you're own. God.
- 1:26:47Speaker 2: I mean, maybe I said that, but that's not what
- 1:26:49Speaker 2: I mean. I'm saying it's not a priority. You have
- 1:26:52Speaker 2: to set up your values. You have to figure out
- 1:26:55Speaker 2: what they are, and then you know if if you've
- 1:27:00Speaker 2: got a particular goal that you save, you for like
- 1:27:02Speaker 2: I want to buy a car in five years, a
- 1:27:04Speaker 2: nice car.
- 1:27:05Speaker 1: Yeah, well say for that. What I mean is, don't
- 1:27:08Speaker 1: say for retirement. Now you're saying you want to travel
- 1:27:10Speaker 1: the world. Why not travel the world now when you're young?
- 1:27:13Speaker 2: Why not every year take a couple of weeks off
- 1:27:17Speaker 2: and go travel.
- 1:27:19Speaker 1: I mean, when you're young, you're probably gonna enjoy it more.
- 1:27:24Speaker 2: It'll add more to your life because it'll give you
- 1:27:31Speaker 2: knowledge and experiences you won't have otherwise. And I don't
- 1:27:36Speaker 2: think if you work hard and later in life and
- 1:27:41Speaker 2: you save, you'll be able to travel later in life
- 1:27:43Speaker 2: as well.
- 1:27:44Speaker 1: But it seems like these trade offs.
- 1:27:47Speaker 2: Of I think you really need to think them through
- 1:27:52Speaker 2: and make sure you're making the right trade off. And
- 1:27:55Speaker 2: my point is, don't give up the present for the
- 1:27:59Speaker 2: future if you don't have to.
- 1:28:02Speaker 1: And look, if you're let's say you're in a profession.
- 1:28:05Speaker 2: Let's say you're a teacher, and you believe, justifiably or
- 1:28:11Speaker 2: not put that aside, you believe your income is never
- 1:28:14Speaker 2: gonna increase significantly. Right, You're gonna it's gonna increase. It's
- 1:28:17Speaker 2: gonna you're gonna make more money, but ah a lot.
- 1:28:20Speaker 2: And you're in your mid twenties and you think the
- 1:28:23Speaker 2: next forty years, I'm gonna make about what I'm making now.
- 1:28:27Speaker 2: Inflation adjusted, maybe more, but not a huge amount more.
- 1:28:31Speaker 2: Then I'd say save, save now.
- 1:28:35Speaker 1: But if you.
- 1:28:35Speaker 2: Believe in you will make a lot more money, a
- 1:28:38Speaker 2: lot more money in your forties and fifties than you're
- 1:28:40Speaker 2: making in your twenties, then there's no urgency to save.
- 1:28:46Speaker 2: So the whole question of saving when you're young is
- 1:28:50Speaker 2: context related.
- 1:28:52Speaker 1: It's related to the context of.
- 1:28:54Speaker 2: Your expectations about the future, your expectations about your future income. Again,
- 1:29:02Speaker 2: if you think your income is not getting improved dramatically,
- 1:29:07Speaker 2: then save. If you think it will improve dramatically, then
- 1:29:13Speaker 2: what's the hurry? What's the hurry? But again, it's very contextual.
- 1:29:26Speaker 2: Michael thoughts on the Italian people in Italian culture. I mean,
- 1:29:31Speaker 2: it's tough to draw conclusions about the Italian culture. Italian people.
- 1:29:38Speaker 2: You know, the Italians are obviously very warm, open, vivacious,
- 1:29:46Speaker 2: expressive people, and I like that, the hustlers, but they
- 1:29:54Speaker 2: also it seems like, but.
- 1:29:58Speaker 1: This is a lot of it is shaped by the
- 1:30:00Speaker 1: political culture in Italy.
- 1:30:04Speaker 2: Not particularly entrepreneurial at an advanced level. Maybe entrepreneurial in
- 1:30:09Speaker 2: terms of very small businesses, but not in terms.
- 1:30:11Speaker 1: Of larger businesses.
- 1:30:13Speaker 2: Heavily, heavily regulated, heavily, heavily controlled, being willing to put
- 1:30:17Speaker 2: up with all of that, Like when can you put
- 1:30:19Speaker 2: the air conditioning on? Like on the fifteenth of September,
- 1:30:23Speaker 2: all the air conditioning in Florence is turned off. It's
- 1:30:27Speaker 2: by law you cannot run air conditioning after the fifteenth
- 1:30:29Speaker 2: of September. But think about a culture and a people
- 1:30:33Speaker 2: willing to tolerate that, willing to accept that. There's a
- 1:30:39Speaker 2: big difference between the Italians of the North and Italians
- 1:30:41Speaker 2: of the south.
- 1:30:43Speaker 1: But generally, look, at some point in their.
- 1:30:49Speaker 2: History, this the predecessor of this culture produced some of
- 1:30:56Speaker 2: the greatest works of art and science and literature in
- 1:31:01Speaker 2: the history of mankind. And much of that was done
- 1:31:04Speaker 2: right here in Florence, in a I don't know radius.
- 1:31:08Speaker 1: Of one hundred miles around.
- 1:31:09Speaker 2: France had an amazing concentration of genius and there was
- 1:31:16Speaker 2: something in the culture that promoted that and enhanced that. Sadly,
- 1:31:22Speaker 2: you know, Italy has lost a lot of that. And look,
- 1:31:26Speaker 2: Italy saw the Ferrari and Maserati and Lamborghini. It's not
- 1:31:33Speaker 2: an accident that all your really really really fancy beautiful
- 1:31:38Speaker 2: fast cause Italian Italian fashion, you know, got I had
- 1:31:47Speaker 2: another example. Italy had great inventors early on. Malconi Fermi
- 1:31:54Speaker 2: was an Italian physicist. So the culture here, it promotes
- 1:32:00Speaker 2: some level of certain types of entrepreneurial activity, and it's
- 1:32:04Speaker 2: very focused on beauty. It's very focused on beauty, and
- 1:32:08Speaker 2: beauty is a good thing.
- 1:32:09Speaker 1: So I love it. I love you know. The people
- 1:32:12Speaker 1: are well dressed. I'm not, but they are the cause.
- 1:32:17Speaker 2: Again for Raris La borghineis the very few people can
- 1:32:20Speaker 2: drive them the maladies, but they are beautiful and there
- 1:32:26Speaker 2: is definitely an esthetic to the design of the cities
- 1:32:32Speaker 2: and the buildings and everything around it. But Italy, sadly,
- 1:32:37Speaker 2: is more about history than the future.
- 1:32:40Speaker 1: History. You come to Italy to see history. You don't
- 1:32:44Speaker 1: come here for the future. And that's sad.
- 1:32:47Speaker 2: Italy is also one of the fastest shrinking countries in
- 1:32:50Speaker 2: the world. It's politics the very the visit very extreme.
- 1:32:59Speaker 2: You've got uh, real leftists and real right wingers. The
- 1:33:06Speaker 2: center is probably smaller than in many other places around
- 1:33:10Speaker 2: the world. It's an interesting place. I don't have big
- 1:33:14Speaker 2: conclusions yet about it. Michael says a lot of similarities
- 1:33:18Speaker 2: between these Raelians and Italians, a little bit in terms
- 1:33:21Speaker 2: of just the we use our hands and it's really
- 1:33:25Speaker 2: used their hands. Italians use their hands. The energy, the vivaciousness,
- 1:33:29Speaker 2: the hutzpa, the no organized lines, elbowing using the elbows
- 1:33:37Speaker 2: a little bit. I think in No sens Is there's
- 1:33:39Speaker 2: similarities in the culture, but it is much more entrepreneurial,
- 1:33:44Speaker 2: much more future oriented than Italy's. As the Economy says,
- 1:33:50Speaker 2: stickers are not super chats. Blank, super chats are not stickers.
- 1:33:54Speaker 1: Anyway.
- 1:33:55Speaker 2: I'm excited for the future, but need more income, need
- 1:33:58Speaker 2: to work hard. Yep, we all do. Linda does discount,
- 1:34:04Speaker 2: it didn't. I don't think it did, okay. Last question
- 1:34:06Speaker 2: from is from Lee from the UK. He says, if
- 1:34:10Speaker 2: a weapon good on paper turns out to be bad
- 1:34:14Speaker 2: in practice, would this entail a reevaluation of initial paper. Yes,
- 1:34:19Speaker 2: I absolutely think it does. You know, what's the point
- 1:34:22Speaker 2: of the paper if it doesn't work in practice? Ideally,
- 1:34:25Speaker 2: but this is true an all business right. You can
- 1:34:27Speaker 2: have a car that is good on paper and you've
- 1:34:33Speaker 2: missed something in practice and it doesn't It doesn't take
- 1:34:36Speaker 2: into account certain human you know, the way people like
- 1:34:40Speaker 2: to drive their cars or like to interact with their cause.
- 1:34:43Speaker 2: And then you have to itterage, and you have to
- 1:34:45Speaker 2: you have to get to a point where this great
- 1:34:48Speaker 2: idea on paper becomes a great idea in reality, and
- 1:34:51Speaker 2: that means changes, and those changes need to be applied
- 1:34:55Speaker 2: to the paper as well. But I think most entrepreneurial
- 1:34:59Speaker 2: companies engage in that kind of process of an idea
- 1:35:04Speaker 2: test change, you know, adjust the idea test, adjust test,
- 1:35:09Speaker 2: you know.
- 1:35:09Speaker 1: And the more you can do that in real time.
- 1:35:13Speaker 2: In the world today, you need to do it more
- 1:35:15Speaker 2: and more in real time, the more competitive you become.
- 1:35:20Speaker 1: All right, guys, it is late here.
- 1:35:23Speaker 2: It's already twenty midnight, twenty to midnight. I will see
- 1:35:27Speaker 2: you tomorrow, I think at the same time four pm.
- 1:35:30Speaker 2: E's coast time, so late for me. And it will
- 1:35:34Speaker 2: also be a show to show more like today. And yeah,
- 1:35:40Speaker 2: I have a great rest of your day and I'll
- 1:35:43Speaker 2: see you tomorrow.
- 1:35:44Speaker 1: Bye, everybody,
