• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, a lot of the fundamental principles of the ledom,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: national self, interesting and individual lots.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: This is show, all right, everybody welcome tore one book
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: show on this Tuesday, months seventeen. I am back from
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: my short trip to Prospera and honduas which was I
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: really learned a lot and it was enjoyable, and the
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: people I was with were great and h the hosts
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: of Prospera hosts were fantastic, and learning about Prospero was
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: really really interesting. The one downside is there are saying
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: flies in uh In on this island in honduas U,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: and I got bit. I think getting bitten is the
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: understatement of the decade. I mean I got eaten alive
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: about these things? Have I started counting the number of
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: bites I have and I stopped because it was too
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: many and too depressing, But probably over one hundred bites,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: fifty on each leg. And then if you spread around
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: the body elsewhere, they itch and burn like crazy. Are
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: you taking benadryl and other stuff? And beware of sand flies.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: This is like a hundred times worth some mosquitoes, and
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: it's devastating. It is horrific. Don't go there. If you
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: can avoid sand flies, avoid sandflies, and if you're in
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: an area where it has them, where long trousers and
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: long shirts and socks and shoes as if you're you know,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: somewhere it's cold. So I don't know that there's an
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: easy way to extiminate them. There's genetic engineering like killing
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: all the mosquitoes, which is way overdue and everything. Yeah,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: he answers, don't scratch. Yeah, that's great advice, Ian, I know,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: don't scratch, but it's freaking itchy, really really really itchy.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I mean not a little bit. And there are a
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: hundred of them, over a hundred of them, So you've
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: got a hundred things that are itchy. And anyway, that
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: is what I'm dealing with right now, the fun of
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: traveling to new and exotic places. Beware. I guess all right,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: let's jump in and talk about it. We'll start with
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the one van and give you updates. So the negativity
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: around the world you want only is accelerating, is intensifying,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: like everybody is super negative. Here's here's the Washington Post
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: editorial board. You know they they write how to solve
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: the homemost Crisis as superiority is not the same as
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: sea control. A better bet maybe to declare victory and
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: walk away. Declare victory and walk away primacy of consciousness,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: complete nonsense. Are we are we victorious? On with victorious?
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: What's about theclare victory? Are we winning? Are we losing? Uh?
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: What if we can go through the goals of the war,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: are we achieving them or we're not achieving them. We'll
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: do that in a little bit. But this idea of
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: the claiming victory and walking away is ridiculous. Can we
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: solve the problem in the Homemost straits? No, it's my buggling.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: You can't solve it. It's too difficult, it's it can't
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: be done Ei. This is the same nasing navigativity that
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: the media and so called military experts and that people
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: who thought Israel would be viscerated and the Uranians are
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: so powerful and they'll launch all these missiles and they'll
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: destroy I mean, it's bs is being polite or the
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Pentagon's own assessment is that it's coded. The ships won't
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: be feasible anytime soon. And yet as we speak, ships
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: from Japan, as I told you they would India several
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: European countries are heading towards the Homo Straits. India is
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: already escorting some of its ships out. Also, I should
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: note about the Homo Straits, they're not actually closed. Yuan
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: because it is worried about pissing off the Chinese and others,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: is allowing many ships through. All Iranian ships are going through.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: That's a big chunk of oil, and then other ships
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: that the Iranians have concluded the oil is not going
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: to the United States or to US allies. They're going through.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: So a lot of the ships taking oil to Asia
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: are going through. It is why, by the way, while
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: all places are high, they're in the mid nineties, they're
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: not at one hundred and fifty where everybody thought they
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: would be. They're not over one hundred where everybody was
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: certain they would be. Indeed, they came back down from
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: one hundred and fourteen. I mean, it's tragic that the
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Trump administration are not planned better for this. It's tragic
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: that they didn't have a plan ready and they didn't
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: engage with that plan immediately. But they're basically taking my
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: plan and they're executing on it. They're getting a coalition
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: of countries to supply ships. Some countries are saying no,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: and Trump is pretty upset, but Japan, India, Austria, I heard,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: you know, Finland has argued for it. France, so there's
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: gonna be a coalition of ships. They will be escorting
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: ships out if they need to. In the meantime. My
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: understanding is that all the targets on the land are
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: being slowly eliminated and crushed, so they were very difficult
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: for the Iranians to launch stuff towards these ships, including drones.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: They drone capabilities are way down, way way way down.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: We'll get to that in a minute. And drones are
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: relatively easy to knock down out of the air. What else.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: It's expensive, but it's doable. Oh, in the navy, they've
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: destroyed one hundred different vessels that are part of the
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Iranian navy. The Ranian navy basically does not exist anymore.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I'm sure their boat still there, fast boat, small boat
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: that are probably still available. But then the Ranians did
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: not significantly mine the homeown straits. But indeed the United
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: States is sending to mind sweepers towards the Gulf. Again
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: should have been prepared for. They should have already been there,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: but they're sending them. Nobody should have expected this were
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: to be done in two weeks, and what's the panic about.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: I mean again, lack of planning means this gets delayed
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: more than it should have. But there's no question a
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: plan is possible and feasible and durable, and not to
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: try is absurd because not to try, basically will send
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: a message to the world. The United States is not
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: living up to its commitment. It's not doing what it's said.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: It is cowering before the Iranians. It is pretending it's
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: got a victory without really solving the big problems it is.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: It would send a golf allies, you know, Yue and
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia and so on, they would feel completely abandoned.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: And indeed, right now, given how well the war is going,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: and it's going unbelievably well, uh, those countries are urging
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Trump to continue and finish the job. They're not urging
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: like the Western Post and so many others all over
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: the place. They're not urging him to the clare Victorian
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: run that they're arguing. They're they're they're arguing for him
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: to be victorious, to win and giving up in the
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: stretch of momons means now the Iranians know our weakness.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: It'll mean that they will always you know they will.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: They will use that as they probably tool. So No,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: the holmost straits need to be opened. The United States
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: needs to assert its control and needs to assert its
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: overwhelming superiority militarily in the Homo straits, not just an
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Iran proper and you know they need to do it.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Whatever it takes, whatever it takes, it is. It is
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: unbelievable how negative everybody is. Look. According to some estimates,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: the entire capacity of the Iranian regime to produce new
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: ballistic missiles has been destroyed. The capacity to build drones
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: has been eviscerated. They still have some ballistic missiles, they
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: shoot them periodically at Israel, the UE, Saudi Arabia, and
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: so on, but the capacity to do that shooting has
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: dramatically diminished. It's down ninety percent from the first days
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: of the war. Ninety Even drones, which are much more
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: difficult to locate, a much easier to launch, down ninety
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: percent from the beginning of the war, and the efficiency
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: by which they are shut down way up above ninety
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: five percent. So there's still setting missiles, but almost nothing
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: is hitting the ground. I mean, this campaign, in my view,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: will go down as one of the most successful military
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: operations in history, particularly if they stick another couple of
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: weeks to it, within another couple of weeks, and actually
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: get regime change. Whether the regime change happens in two weeks,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: four weeks later this year, I believe that if they
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: stick with it, if they keep going, regime change will happen.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: We'll get to the decapitation yesterday or last night in
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: a minute. I mean, here's another one. US leaders drift
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: drastically underestimated the Iranian regime's ability to survive ad justin
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: strike back. None of that is true. None of that
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: is true. Iranian capacity to strike back has been dramatically diminished,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: and it's very weak right now. They thought, I think
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Israel thought, and their own casualty estimates, whether that Iran
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: would respond in a much harsher way, in a much
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: more dramatic way than they actually did. So again, this
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: is an Atlantic I mean, the negativity over and over
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: and over again. Nobody thought that the Iranian regime would
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: just say whoops, sorry, yeah, we get it. We lost
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: our supreme leader. We beg your forgiveness and we're giving up.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Nobody thought that, Nobody serious thought that. How again, I
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: think the Ramadivu station lacked a certain level of strategic planning,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: particularly with regard to the Straits of Homost. But so yeah,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, they've hit fifteen thousand targets, They've picked any
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: target they want. They've destroyed again the entire missile building capacity.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: They've destroyed. They made impossible for the Ranians to launch missiles.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: They've eliminated the production of drones, you know, and of
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: course they have completely decapitated the regime. The supreme leader
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: is gone. His son while in charge, won't show his
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: face because he's probably been injured and is afraid they've eliminated,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: you know, most of the top commanders of the IRGC.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Last night, last night was this amazing night where not
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: only did it was the General Solomoni who was the
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: head of the besiege besiege forces, the power military besieged forces.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: This is under the Ayre RGC. These are the forces
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: that orchestrated the massacre of the peaceful protesters. They managed
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: the network of black site torture chambers. They led their
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: aggressive persecution of women and youth during the women's demonstration.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: They regularly use live ammunition against unknown civilians. The leader
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: of that organization, General Solimani, was killed yesterday, but it
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: wasn't just him. He was killed with three hundred other
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: besieged commanders, including the entire leadership, his deputy, and a
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: bunch of other commanders. Wiped out one bomb. Why, I
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: don't know how many bombs one location. Several bombs, right,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, that is huge, and that happened just last night.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Also last night. Even more significant than that, even more significant.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: And by the way, this is supposedly she was They
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: were all in a tent and they were having a meeting.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: They still have meetings, I guess, and they're all gone,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: all with the seventy two virgins. Supposedly about three hundred
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: besiege commanders and field officers were killed in strikes yesterday.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Three hundred. I mean, at some point it's going to
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: be difficult to replace them with anybody experienced, anybody with
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: any authority, anybody actually rally the troops to kill their
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: own people. In addition to that, last night, the number
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: one person in Iran with authority running the war post
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: the killing of Harmony, which was done on the first
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: shot of the war was Ali Layn Johnny. Ali Larin
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Johnny yesterday was killed with an air strike in a
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: safe house into Hran. He was one of their you know,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: real veterans. Sullenly, the most senior figure within the Iranian
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: regime is closely associated with the previous supreme leader, Ali Kamini.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Now it's true, then, you Hominie the Sun is still
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: the leader, but he's invisible. He's not made an appearance,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: and by all counts, he is not managing the day
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: to day operations of the Ranian regime. Lan Johnny was
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: and the Israelis found him and killed him, and he's gone.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: I mean the ability to strike, kill, eliminate the intelligence
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: that Israel has and I assume the United States has.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: But where these people are, which headquarters matter, is stunning,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: is truly stunning. So the success here is overwhelming. Right,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: what were the goals? Destroy missile capabilities basically done, Destroy
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: navy done, destroy don't kick the police done. Nuclear to
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: be done, to capitate the leadership done. Regime change to
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: be determined. So what's left is regime change in nuclear
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: and at this pace they can achieve both nuclear either
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: through negotiations or through special ops. They can achieve both.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Already many of the nuclear development facilities are being destroyed
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: completely from the air. They don't have the enrich uranium yet,
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: but they will get it one way or the other
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: if they continue to doing this. If they continue doing this. Now,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: you know, there's a lot of different reporting about where
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Love and Johnny and Solimani were killed and how they
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: were killed. And I don't have any intelligence about the
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: exact process by which happened, but there's it's not a
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: coficult that both were killed. Both are gone, The besieged
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: leadership has been eviscerated. There's almost nothing left of it.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: And again another massive success. And they do sayers, both
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: on their left and on their right, continue to be wrong.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Remember Techo costs and predicted that the Ranians had a
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: fearsome arsenal and bailistic missiles and could easily kill thousands
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: of Americans. Now, it's tragic any American who dies, But
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: what's been the causual leaders is eight and maybe one
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty injured. Nintagnielle now has told the IDF
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: as of I think today that if there's intelligence on
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: a senior official in Iwan or Chrisbella in Lebanon, that
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: they have blanket approval to eliminate him without waiting for approval,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: so you know, they don't need the Secretary of Defense
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: on Nintagnel the Prime minister's approval to eliminate senior officials
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: of Risbella and Iwan. That'll give operatives who are managing drones,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: managing the aircraft, managing intelligence much more flexibility and immediacy.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: It'd be able to eliminate, further eliminate, you know, some
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: of these leaders. As I said, with the besiege, they
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: got the top commander, the deputy commander, ten senior officials,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: as well as up to three hundred other besiege commanders
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: and soldiers. Again, this is all, and this is all
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: softening up, softening up the military force that could be
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: used against protesters in the event of an attempt for
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Gym change, softening it up so that the regime change
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: can happen without too many casualties on the civilian Iranian side.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: All right, let's see a few other things. As I said,
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Austria is dispatching an Austrian cruiser to the Pacific Gulf
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: again to help supposedly to help in the Straits of Homo's.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Let's see, I think we got that. We'll talk about
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: that in a minute. Indian Navy has already escorted two
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: LNG tankers through the Straits of Homos using its military ships.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: And you know, so they have naval warships in the
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: States in the Persian Golf and they're escorting them out.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: So they are there. Indian Navy is active. Let's see,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: we'll get to that. Okay, let's see check Republic check
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Prime Minister has decided to dispatch the check cruiser, a
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: check cruiser to the Persian Golf, so they go. Another
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: EU member heading in that direction. Even the British government,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: which has been against US, has supposedly drafted a plan
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: for a coalition to secure shipping out of the Straits
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: of Homos. It's shared it with the United States and
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: several other countries. And I wouldn't be surprised to see
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: some British cruisers in the Persian Golf helping escort ships.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: A right, um, let me just see ye. So Israel
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: yesterday took out the most senior official in Iran, and
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: they took out the butcher. The guy whose name was
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: the butcher because he's the guy who ordered the attacks
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: on and and manage the attacks on civilians. Truly impressive.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Let's see what else we've got that, Yeah, Japan. Japan
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: said that it is ready to send SDF warships to homoes.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: The Takiyachi government, Kichi government is weighing whether they have
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: the legal jurisdiction, but they intend to participate again in
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: convoys to bring the ships out. Let's see, we'll get
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: to that later. Yeah, just give you a sense of
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: realistic missiles interception rates they went through through the interception
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: rates were eighty nine to ninety day sixteen, there were
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: ninety six to ninety eight percent. And it's easy to
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: see why if you're sending twenty thirty at a time
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: like they did in the first day, hard to intercept
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: all of them. Some of them get through. If you're
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: if you're sending one, two or three at a time,
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: it's easy to get all of them. You get up
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: to ninety six to ninety eight percent. Same thing with drones.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Drones with ninety ninety four percent of day one, two three,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: ninety seven to ninety nine per on day sixteen plus
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: let me see, yep, we talked about the Indian Navy. Yeah,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, here's a here's one of the shocking things
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: about this. Well, the Western media is in Western experts
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: and so called experts and military experts, and all these
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: things are super negative about this war. Al Jazeerra al
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Jazera the mouthpiece of the Katari regime anti Western as
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: it gets when this story a day ago. The US
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Israeli strategy against Iran is working. Here's why. And the
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: subtitle is every aspect of Yuan's ability to project region
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: of power is being successfully degraded. So here one of
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: the great outcomes. One of the great outcomes of this
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: is the Kanta is pivoting towards Israel. In the United States,
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know that we be completely shocked if Kata
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: joined abram Accords. Dumb Tramas. I mean, they've already asked
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Ramas to leave Karta and dump Maybe even this would
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: be huge, the most in brotherhood, all because of the
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: defeat of the Iranians. As I told you, I said
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: many many times, regime change in Iran has profound, profound
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: consequences for the entire region, for the entire world, for
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: the entire world of Islam, for jihadism and as a
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: consequence for the West, KTA is now you know, kicked out,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: kicked out Ramas. It's turned against Ramas supposedly. So you know,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: a lot of this has to be established and has
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: to be made real. But early science very promising, very
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: very very promising. Uh let's see, I'm just scanning some
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: of these new stories to see what we've what we've missed.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: I mean even now and Neil focus on is like,
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: this is going to be a global war. This is
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: already could become a global war. Unlikely, very very very unlikely.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: What is likely is that this is an overwhelming victory.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah that yeah, I mean Iran is allowing vessels to
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: transit the States of home woes. At least four vessels
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: passed in the past twenty four hours. This was yesterday.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: There was a verification process, do you when you want
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: to make sure that they're not heading towards the United States?
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: But it's a global markets. It doesn't matter if they
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: go to the United States. The ships were three bulk
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: carriers too, Greek, one Indian, and one Pakistani. But as
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: long as oil is flowing into the world market, prices
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: are stabilizing and stabilized in the mid nineties. If the
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: United States can show a credible plant and can start
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: actually escorting ships out of the Persian Gulf without too
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: many incidents, what you will find is that oils or
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: prices collapse, or prices collapse. One of the people that
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: are being shown to be a complete fool when it
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: comes to Iran, I mean an Israel. Now, he was
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: a complete fool always and a complete fool about Russia
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Ukraine and always a complete fool is Distinguished Professor Political
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Sciences the University of Chicago, Professor Meersheimer. I mean he's
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: been quite He's saying there's no country on the planet
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: that is cool and more deadly than Israel. Has been
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: saying that they are likely to use nuclear weapons, that
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: they are, that they're being destroyed, that they're being devastated.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Really is all destroyed, devastated. Somebody should tell the Israelis
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: that they're being destroyed and devastation. Someone should pick up
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: a call. I've said this before. Somebody should pick up
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: the phone call in Israeli and ask them, Hey, are
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: you guys destroyed and devastated? I mean it's stunning, I mean,
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: how bad his predictions have become. I mean, he's really
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: proving to be a complete imbecile. Now, I told you
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: he was an imbecile in his analysis of the Russia,
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Ukrainie WRL. But there he seemed to have some credibility
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: and you know whatever, because he predicted something. Now he
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: is so off base, he is so missing it completely
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: that I think everybody can realize how completely completely clueless
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: this guy is. He is an anti Western, anti American,
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: probably anti semi anti Israel, you know, not very smart,
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: so called intellectual. Remember, he's claiming Israel is suffering these
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: massive casualties less than a dozen, less than a dozen,
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: that is less than one percent of what Israel was
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: hit with after Hamas, and they survived that they considerly
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: survive a dozen, Paul says, I mean, Israel no devastation,
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: mostly damaged from shrapnel falling. Yeah, and the damage is
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: limited and localized, it's not huge. And I'm sure there
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: are other people in Israel on the call. Right if
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: you want to ask questions, super chat is available open
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: to everybody, and uh, yeah, ask questions the super chat
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: two dollars all it takes all right, let's see we'll
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: talk about that. It turns out that you know, people
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: talk about Iran, Well, the fall of Iran won't be
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: that big of a deal because most of the Islamists
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: a Sunni and Iwan is a Shiite, and it doesn't matter.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: But I've been saying this for decades now, Shoni shite
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter when it comes to hatred of the West
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: and hatred of Israel. It turns out that Iran has
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: been training, is trained twenty thousand Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood fighters. Indeed,
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Iwan has been training and Muslim Brotherhood is a Sunni organization,
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: has been training Muslim Brotherhood fighters from all over the
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Middle East. The Uranian Kuds Force, which is responsible for
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: foreign operations, has developed ties with armed groups in Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon,
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: West Bank, Gaza, Yemen, Saudan, Algeria, and some parts of
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: East Africa, and by extension, with Islamist groups operating in Europe.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Regime change eliminates the Goods force I mean, for that matter,
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: just the leadership losses that the IRGC has suffered makes
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: the Kods Force dramatically less powerful. So taking out Iran
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: it diminishes the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood It diminishes
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: their ability to get trained fighters. It diminishes the power
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: of Islamism everywhere. All right, some other as I told you, uh,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Gulf States are putting a lot of persons news stories
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: about how much pressure they're putting on the Trumpet administration
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: to finish this off. Here's another added benefit from from
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: from this war. Chinese weapons systems are being shown to be,
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: you know, not particularly good. Chinese datafense systems are proving
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: to be of low quality. Israel in the United States
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: can get around them and destroy them fairly easily. If
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: you're now Chinese military official planning to an invasion of Taiwan,
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: you gotta wai you gotta warrri. I mean all the
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: all the kind of war games that that result in winning.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Assume that all of China's military equipment works according to
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: spec It turns out it doesn't. Indeed, many people in
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: the world you know, not that interested in buying Chinese
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: weapons systems anymore. They failed the stress test in Iran,
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: they failed the stress test in Venezuela. You know, there's
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: a lot of corruption in the military. So a lot
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: of these weapon systems they advertise them functioning, and yet
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: they funnel the money to the side to their own
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: bank accounts. We've had a couple of Chinese military industry
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: experts responsible for defense systems have now been removed from
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: their position. They've been removed from the website of the
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Chinese Academic Academy of Engineering because their anti air radars
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: didn't work easily jammed by the Americans. Yeah, they had
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: a you know, they worked in Pakistan. Maybe they're playing
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: shot down Pakistan Indian planes, but India wasn't using F
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: thirty five's. India didn't have the electronic jamming technology the
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Americans have or the Israelis have, So they worked in
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: a particular region against you know, last generation or two
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: generations ago equipment from the US. But in every region
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: where the United States or Israel has actually engaged top
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: of the line latest tech, Chinese tech just does not
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: match up. And given the China has basically fired every
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: single one one of the generals at the top suggests
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: on you know, claims of corruption, it probably suggests that,
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, what does corruption mean. It means that they
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: pocketed the money instead of developing their weapon systems. They
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: pocketed the money instead of making the weapon system. State
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: of the art. I mean Youan has relied heavily on
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Chinese tack. I mean Russia. We know already so on
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Chinese tick to build defenses and offensive strike capabilities. Chinese
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: played a major role in he want's missile and drone expertise.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: And the missiles hopeless and the drones, I mean, the
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: drones are pretty good, but ninety seven percent of them
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: are shut down. What's the point, so yep? I mean
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: this is an article. US and Israeli forces have repeatedly
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: demonstrated the ability to strike Iranian military targets, including missile infrastructure,
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: radio installations, command facilities, and other key elements anyone's defense network.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Air defenses built partly on Russian technology have not denied
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: access to the Iranian airspace or prevented precision strikes against
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: strategic sites. And then includes some Chinese tech. You know,
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: this is this is the reality, and it suggests he
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: is about the India Pakistan. During India's Operation Sindo twenty
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: twenty five, Indian forces conducted precision strikes against targets in
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Pakistan Pakistan fields, a military heavily equipped with Chinese systems.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: According to data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: Roughly four fifths four fifths eighty Pakistan's defense inputs originate
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: from China. Pakistan operates Chinese designate designed fighter aircraft such
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: as the JF seventeen and J ten. Chinese air defense
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: system include the HQ nine and the HQ sixteen, families,
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Chinese radars and Chinese drones. During the crisis, India was
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: still able to conduct precisious strikes against targets inside Pakistan.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: Indian forces used systems such as the BrahMos supersonic cruise
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: missile and other precision equipped weapons to hit military infrastructure
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: across multiple locations. The fact that these strikes were conducted
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: despite Pakistan's Chinese supplied air defense architecture raised important questions
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: about the effectiveness of these systems in the nine air
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: space to a capable adversary. And again, this is not
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: American weapons system, this is not the latest and greatest.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: The conflict illustrated a broader reality of modern warfare. Possessing
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: advanced weapons on paper is not the same as fielding
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: a fully integrated combat system capable of it, detecting, tracking,
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: and defeating precision strikes from a technological least superior adversary.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: Israel has those capabilities, The United States has those capabilities
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: to some extent now, at least with regard to drones.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: Ukraine has those capabilities, and almost nobody else does so
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: potentially we have discovered that China is in some regards
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: at least a paper title. Okay, a couple of other
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: stories relating to the war, and then we'll move on
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: one related to China. Remember, China has a lot to
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: lose in this war. It is it gets most of
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: its oil. And if America wins, China is in trouble
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: because it doesn't have independent sources of energy anymore. If
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: the Almost Straits they closed for a long time, China
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: loss because it relies on that oil. You know, China
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: is in a very precarious position. It's why it's putting
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: a lot of pressure on the Uranians to open up
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: the Straits of Homos. All right, Remember we talked about
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: the USSS four. The USS has photo gone through the
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: Cis Canal, was in the Red Sea and was heading
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: towards the Gulf and was going to be deployed at
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: the scenter of the action in the Gulf. The USSS
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: food already has been at c eight months, which is
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: a lot longer than it should have been. It should
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: have been home after six And what happened over the
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: last few days on the USS Floode is that a
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: fire broke out. A small fire that started in the
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: ship's main laundry area, sped through the ventilation to sever
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: the other areas of the ship, which required a huge
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: amount of work on behalf of the seamen to put
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: it out. Now, the Ford has six hundred sailors and
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: other crew members, or no, there's more than that, but
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: six hundred of them have lost their beds in the fire.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: As a consequence of that, the Ford is going back
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: through the seas Canal to the island of Crete, where
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: the United States has a facility that a maintenance facility
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: where the aircraft carrier can be fixed. Now, and this
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: is troublesome. There is some reason to believe that this
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: might have been set ablaze on purpose by some of
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: the crew member members, given how upset they are about
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: the fact that they haven't been able to go back home,
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: hoping that this will cause the ship to sail back home.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: I hope that's not true, but there are stories saying
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: arguing that it is we'll see, but for now it's
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: out of there. It's not going to participate in whatever's
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: going to happen in Almost Straits. This could be a
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: reason why escorting ships out of the Homo Straits has
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: been delayed because I think they were relying on the
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: uss Ford and it's a carrier group. And again us
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: is Ford is now seemingly, at least for now out
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: of commission and going back to Crete both for refueling,
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: to investigate the fire and to fix to fix it
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: so that the crew members have a place. Finally, we
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: got to the war. We have a story about the
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: director of National counter Terrorism Center in the United States
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: resigned this morning basically staying that he cannot in good
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: conscious support ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: threat to our nation, and it clearly that we started
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: and it's clear that we started this war due to
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: pressure from Israel in its powerful American lobby. In other words,
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: you know, the director of National counter Terrorism Center was
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: MAGA and was hired because to a large extent, because
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: of his Mega credentials. He's an anti war portion of
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: the Hope Mega group, if you will. And I've been
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: listening to tucka too much, I guess, and is now
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: leaving because again he does not believe in this war.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: He believes this is a disaster. This is not good
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: for Trump. This little emboldened the elements within MEGA that
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: are anti this war. But so far Trump has a
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: significant majority of MAGA supporting the war. So Americans not
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: supporting the war, but at least his base seems to
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: still support him. Somebody says the guy is super anti
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: Semitic too. Wouldn't surprise me at all. This is what
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: happens when you appoint people based on their you know,
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: political affiliation, rather than based on the qualifications, rather than
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: based on the qualifications. All right, that's what I have
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: to say about Iran. Basically, war is going well, amazingly well.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: Most of the goals of the war have you could
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: argue already being achieved. The one goal that I think
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: the Trumpet unciation defaulted on and could have done a
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: lot better was the straighter Romo's seems to be in
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: the process of being fixed. Nuclear weapon extraction or nuclear
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: weapons capabilities destruction is to all extent being done, but
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: there's still a way to go. And that's why, according
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: to Israeli sources and American sources. This is not going
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: to end in day eighteen. It's going to go four weeks.
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: And look from the beginning I said, from the beginning
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: of this what I said, this is a just war,
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: a good war. It's good that Trump engaged in it.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: Trump was, of course a wild caught. He could end
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: it in any time. You can't tell to the extent
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: that he pissed severes and goes through with it. This
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: will be huge. And I've told you before that winning
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: the war in Iran has geopolitical consequences beyond them, add
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: least global geopolitical consequences on China, on Islam and Europe,
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: on the Muslim brotherhood more broadly, and on the Middle East,
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: and the prospects for peace for Israel. So this is
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: hugely important. And I hope, in spite of the fact
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: that I despise Trump, it hasn't changed my mind about
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: this buising Trump. Trump is a bad guy. I still
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: hope he sticks with it, and he sticks with it
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: to the point of victory. I think victory is possible.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: I e. Victory qua regime change is indeed possible. All right,
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: good news too, good news stories. The first one is
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: Cuba seems like it's starting to crumble. It seems like
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: the pressure, primarily because of taking out the Venezuela and
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: taking on a duo and basically preventing oil from reaching
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: the Cuban shore, has basically put the Cuban economy in
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: the Cuban political system under so much pressure that they
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: are now negotiating with the United States about their future.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: It also seems the Trump administration is going to insist
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: that the president of Cuba right now, the dictator in
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: chief right now, has to go for the you know,
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: for the island to be allowed to regain any kind
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: of normalcy. The US is US are pushing there is
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: so far as not pushing for any action against Castro's
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: family members, who remain in the country's top power brokers,
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: at least for now, but they are looking for different
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: ways in which to achieve some form of regime change
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: and the implementation of real structural economic changes. Now. The
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: motivation for the Cuban regime to help work on this
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: uh is you know, is the fact that the place
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: is crumbling. It's been crumbling for decades slowly, and it's
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: reached a crucial tipping point for example, last night, you know,
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: basically power there was a power outage for the entire island.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: The power crisis is only worstening. It's been around for weeks,
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: but it's it's only worstening. Uh. The photos you can
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: find photos online of just the fact that there's no
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: electricity in Havana. And Uh there was Gamus slowly coming
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: to the realization that they are bet at the negotiate
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: an exit. Uh then to be left to in a sense,
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: the the whim of their own people and what their
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: own people will do to them. So it's going to
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: be interesting to watch what Trump will actually negotiate here.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: Will it be real freedom or will it just be
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: replacing a one strong man with another Like in Venezuela.
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: The dictatorship is also released political prisoners, some at least.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: They've also announced a opening up. They're going to allow
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: investments by exiled Cubans. They can allow exiled Cubans to
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: visit the island and to partner with locals in private
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: companies with no affiliation with the government, so the government
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: is not going to try to take control over them.
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: They're can allow participation of exceled Cubans in the banking
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: system of Cuba, and supposedly the creation of new financial
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: institutions in Cuba, exiled Cubans will be able to open
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: fund councy accounts in Cuban banks. So there seems to
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: be some small for now opening up the Cuban economy
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: and increase influence of exiled Cubans who are fairly wealthy
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: living in Miami and elsewhere. And again this is preliminary
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: signs that Cuba is maybe moving towards opening up, and
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: you will see a you know, a freedom or at
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: least set my free Cuba in the weeks, months, years
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: to come. So I think importance and a payoff on
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: what Trump did in Venezuela. This is a direct consequence
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: of that. So you have to say that in this
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: realm Venezuela, let you on Cuba, Trump has been doing
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: good work. And I know, you know, some of you
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: don't believe I can ever say that because I've got
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: something that you define as what is it, oh TDS.
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: But now when he does actually something good, I say it.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: See I'm objective about Trump. I know his evil and
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: I know the things that he does that are good,
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: and you know, it all animates my ultimate appraisal of him.
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: But yeah, Venezuela ultimately looks like it will be a
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: good call, and let's hope he can stick it out
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: with you on and if he does, it'll be pretty amazing.
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: And of course, if Cuba ultimately the consequences the fall
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: of the Cuban regime and the liberating of the Cuban people,
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: that too will be truly, truly, truly amazing. All right,
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: One more positive story, positive story. Pull Earlier is dead.
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: He died yesterday at the age of ninety three. I
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: don't know now, I don't know how many of you
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: know was, But here's a guy who was a Stanford
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: University professor, one of the biggest doomsayers, doom predictors this
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: world has ever seen. A guy who created I think
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: the kind of energy in the modern environmentalist movement about
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: the world is going to end tomorrow, finally died. Here's
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: a few headlines, you know, headline that I agree with
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: America's worst public intellectual Rest in peace, Earlis. This is
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: an article on Faster Please, which is a substack how
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: Paul Earlif's population panic helped shape a half century of
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: pessimism about technology growth and humanity's future on Earth. Absolutely God,
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: what did ie it is? Or? From Reason magazine. Population
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: doomster and forced prophet of ecological apocalypse Paul Erlich has died.
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: The author of the Population Bomb was never right, but
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: never in doubt that the world was about to end.
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: So good riddance. I mean, this guy was really evil.
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: His hatred of mankind was deep and entrenched. His book
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: is about as evil and horrific as you can imagine.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: Here's the prologue to the Population Bomb, written in nineteen
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: sixty eight. I'm going to read to you. Listen to this.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: This is the first line. The battle to feed all
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: of humanity is over. In the nineteen seventies and eighties,
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: hundreds of millions of people were starved to death in
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: spite of any crash programs embarked upon. Now, at this
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: late date, nothing can prevent a substantial increase in the
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: world's death rates, although many lives could be saved through
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: dramatic programs to stretch the carrying capacity of the earth
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: by increasing food production and providing for more equitable distribution
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: of whatever food is available. But these programs will only
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: provide a stay of execution unless they are accompanied by
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: determined and successful efforts at population control. Population control is
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: the conscious regulation of the number of human beings to
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: meet the needs not just of individual families, but of
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: society as a whole. See the evil collectivism. Here we
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: will decide how many kids you will have. It has
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: to meet the needs of society as a whole. I
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: go on to quote this is in the book. Nothing
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: could be mo mis leading to our children in our
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: present affluent society. They will inherit a totally different world,
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: a world in which the standards, politics, and economics of
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: the past decade a dead. As the most influential nation
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: in the world today and its largest consumer, the United
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: States cannot stand isolated. We are today involved in the
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: events leading to famine equote catastrophe. Tomorrow we may be
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: destroyed by them. Opposition require that we take immediate action
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: at home and promote effective action worldwide. We must have
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: population control at home, hopefully through changes in our value system,
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: but by compulsion if voluntary methods fail. Compulsion he means
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: involuntary sterilization, which he was a huge advocate for. I
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: go on, Americans must also change the way living as
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: to minimize the impact on the world's resources and environment.
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: Programs which combine ecologically sound agricultural development and population control
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: must be established and supported in undeveloped countries. In other words,
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: sterilize those poor people, don't allow them to have children.
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: While this is being done, we must take action to
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: reverse the deterioration of our environment before a planet is
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: permanently ruined. It cannot be emphasized, however, that no changes
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: in behavior technology can save us unless we can achieve
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: control over the size of the human population. The birth
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: rate must be brought into balance with the death rate,
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: or mankind will breed itself into oblivion. We can no
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: longer afford melody to treat the symptoms of the cancer
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: of population growth. The cancer itself must be cut out. Hey,
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: I mean you know it's it's this guy. He bemoans
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: the fact that there's been a victory over malaria. You'll
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: a few a small box color and other infectious diseases, right,
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: because it's been responsible for a plunge in death rates,
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: which is not a lot of the population to grow,
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: and we can't feed them now. Note that he wrote
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: all this after the Green Revolution, after it was clear
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: that productivity and farming was going through the roof I mean,
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: this guy was truly evil. He says, in the long run,
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: the progressive deterioration of our environment may cause more death
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: and misery than food population than the food population gap,
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: so he wants, you know, he bemoans the birth of
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: new children. Yeah, you can. You know. One second, there
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: are some professional optimists around who like to greet every
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: sign of dropping birth rates with wild pronouncement about the
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: end of population explosion. They are little. They are little,
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: like a person who, after a low temperature of five
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: below zero on December twenty first, into puts a low
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: of only three below zero in twenty second as a
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: cheery sign of approaching spring. Now, Early was proved wrong,
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: right by all of this, over and over and over again.
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: He was proved wrong, and it didn't stop him from
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: reinventing the doomerism, from reinventing the case for why we
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: must we will all die one way or the other.
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: He was a huge promoter of global cooling and then
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: of global warming, a huge promoter of extinction theory. You know,
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: species extinction and the consequence of human beings was going
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: to be devastating. Remember with the hero population bomb in
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: nineteen sixty eight, the population of the world was I think,
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: if I'm right, abound two billion, it's eight billion today,
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: four acts. And yet the amount of calories that each
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: human being consumes four times more people is significantly higher
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: on average than it was in nineteen sixty eight. And
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: think about this. He was at Stanford University. He was
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: considered a great enlightened intellectual. Even decades after, decades after
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: he was proven wrong on population, he was still revered
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: by much of the intellectual class and by the entire
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: environmentalist movement, and still held a position at Stanford. You know,
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: he advocated for the United States they encourage India to
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: sterilize men with three or more children, and he suggested
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: that to do this we should supply them with helicopters, vehicles,
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: surgical instruments. And when asked about whether this should be
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: done through courts of measures, he said, cousion, perhaps, but
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: causion in a good cause. And what is a good cause?
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: Fewer children? China's one child policy, which is devastating to
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: China today, despite the fact that they've done away with
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: that policy, still devastating to them, was inspired by his
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: writings and by his influence in the Club of Rome.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: He advocating telling anybody that had two children that they're
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: selfish if they had more selfish, being bad according to him, right,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: just you know, the target should be two children, Max.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: And the whole book is filled with us with this crap,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: and his advocacy later on was filled with this crap.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: And again the fact that he was admired, revered, respected.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: Here's some Washington Post editorial quote Earlik's error on the
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: case of hindsight being twenty twenty. These advances in crop yields,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: known as the Green Revolution, were already in progress when
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: Erlich wrote The Population Bomb. Norman Borlog the Iowa agricult
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: to scientists who led the development a spread of these
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: more efficient crops worldwide, won the Noble Peace No the
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: nobol Peace Prize just two years after the book's publication.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: So the Germanic increases in food yield went out. Didn't
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: stop earlier from you know, advocating for this, and indeed
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: India engagement for stilization, as did many African countries, preventing
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: million people, millions of people from you know, being born.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: So good riddens Paul earlier. But here's the New York Times,
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: So give you a flavor of you know. Paul Earlich,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: who alarmed the world with the population bomb, dies in
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: ninety three. But listen to this title. His best selling
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: nineteen sixty eight book, which focast global famines, made him
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: a lead of the environmental movement, but he faced criticism
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: when his predictions proved wrong. No, it's the New York Times.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: Now I'm gonna say he's wrong when his predictions proved premature, premature?
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: Are we facing a population bump today? Is mats starvation
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: around the corner? Did he just miss it by fifty years?
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: It's just pathetic, Just pathetic. The guy was. If you
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: can watch interview with him, he did a sixty minute
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: interview two years ago at the age of ninety one.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, he was completely unfazed by the fact that
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: he was wrong, completely, you know, constantly rationalizing in a way,
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: shifting his focus. Okay, so it wasn't population, it's it's uh,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: it's you know, mass extinction of animals. It's something else.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: But humanity is doomed, he told us over and over
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: and over again. Well, good riddance to him, and a
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: good riddance to anybody you know, and and and hopefully,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: hopefully people will learn from it. It's an unlikely people
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: will learn from it. It's unlikely people will figure it out.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: But at least having one less evil intellectual public intellectual
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: out there, I think it's a net benefit to all
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: of us. So I'm I'm willing uh to say good
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: riddance and and happy is gone. All right. Finally, Techo
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: was in the news this weekend. Uh, it's just it's
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: just a bizarre, totally bizarre chain of events. Chuck announced
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: on his show that Uh, he'd been in formed by
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: the CIA that they are reading his text messages and
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: they're preparing a criminal referral against it. That he was
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: being monitored by the CIA for his texting I guess
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: with Kata maybe Russia, and that they were going to
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: bring about a criminal case against it. Now, this is
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: bizarre so many level. First of all, the CIA doesn't
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: monitor American citizens, and now they might be monitoring a
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: foreign agent, and if Tucka exchanged texts with that foreign agent,
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: then they're reading those exchanges because they're monitoring the foreign agent.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: But the CIA is an authority to monitor US residents,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: US citizens, so it's not clear, what the hell. And
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: then it's not Why would the CIA tell him this?
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: Why would the CIA tell him this? It's actually probably
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: the NSA if anybody's listening to your conversations. But then
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna come out and tell you. So you know,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: the CIA operates outside of the United States, not in
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: the United States. They can't legally listen in to conversations
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: of Americans. It's the whole thing that, to begin with,
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: is bizarre and weird. Then Tucker's brother goes on acts
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: with a lengthy definition of treason to try to defend
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: his brother, that he didn't do it, didn't do what,
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: didn't do what? Maybe he didn't do it. If they're
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: getting so defensive, then axious and the Trumpet administration deny
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: that the CIA wrote him any thing and revealed anything
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: to him, that any of this is true. Now you know,
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: of course the admistician has no interest in revealing it
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: even if it was true. But the whole thing is
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: just weird. What Attucker actually do? Is he acting as
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: a faun agent? Is he a spy? And then there
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: was a story that Trump knew that Tucker was a
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: spy feeding the enemy for information. So Trump the three
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: D four D chess player that he is told Tucker
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: gave Tuck a false information about the win Ran that
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: then Teker passed on to his Ranian handlers, I guess,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: And but it was false. So there were a lot
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: of memes about this all over the place and how
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: Trump has played Tucker. So it really is bizarre. It
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: really is strange. But of course nothing is strange when
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: it comes to Tucker. I mean, there could be some
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: basis for this, given Tucker's connections both in Russia, Kata
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: and potentially Iran, so that he has those connections, could
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: be that he is talking to him, could be that
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: the NSA and other law enforcement organizations are looking at him.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: It could also be just one big lie, one big
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: nihilistic attempt to get more attention to himself, to be
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: position himself as a victim persecuted by evil Donald Trump
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: and by the agents of the of the Jews. Now,
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: I think that is probably the right explanation. I think
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: that's probably what's happening. I think Tucker's just making it
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: up to gain attention. If not, we will see him
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: being indicted and sometime in the near future, which is
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: not an outcome. I bemoan that might be a good
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: outcome as well. Anyway, Tucker continues to feed or present
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: himself as totally nuts, totally lost the plot, totally yeah,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: crazy craziness, craziness on steroids. All right, that, my friends,
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: is the news for this month seventeenth. And I will
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: now move to your super chat questions and we can
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: we can continue. Yeah, let me just let's see, I'm saying,
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: let me just do this, all right, so we'll turn
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: to the super chat. You can still contribute to the
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: super chat. We're trying to raise five hundred dollars today
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: on the show. We're in our second hour. We we're
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: just one hundred and fifty shorts, so we're doing really
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: well on the fundraising side. There's a lot of questions,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: and I do have a hard stop in fifteen minutes.

• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: to support the show without asking a question and without
• 1:09:45

• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: you can. All right, let's jump in and let's start
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: with Mike. Now, the military decision making and Iran is decentralized,
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: won't just discourage strategic thinking and encourage infighting? Yes, absolutely,
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: decentralization could work for a while. But as the top
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: leadership is decapitated, as they're eliminated, the guys lower down
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: I have to start thinking about their future, the possibility
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: of such a future. They also have to start thinking
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: about who is going to be eliminated next, and and
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: uh and and who should lead them and who is
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: going to be pushed up? Uh And yes, you're gonna
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: have a lot more infighting and uh, a lot more
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: I'm also reading a lot of news about defections, about
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: about military bases where the soldiers have gone home by
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: IO c GC troops that are disobeying orders, besiege groups
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: that are walking away after you know their their their
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: camps are being completely destroyed by the Israeli Air Force.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: So you're already seeing I think the beginnings of real
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: infighting and desertion and uh and and lack of discipline
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: and frustration. And look, here's the real reality that I
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: know a lot of you don't want to accept. Iran
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: has nothing. It's it's you know, all those predictions about
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: Iran being this powerful, there's nothing there. And the more
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: they realize that, and the more they realize they are
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: zeroed out that nothing militarily, the more they're gonna be
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: forced out, the more they're going to be discouraged, the
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: more they're going to be you know, the more inviting
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: you're going to get, and the more likely regime change becomes. Michael,
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: do you expect Trump to do anything good with the
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: economy of the next three years a combination of populist
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: status policies and fem market reforms in other areas. Yeah,
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, we talked about this over again. Deregulation is good.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: What he's doing with the environmental regulation in particular, it
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: is particularly good. Other things are status and horrible. The
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: new housing bill that he's pushing through the House and
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: Senate is not good. Is so that's the project that
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: stops corporate ownership of homes for rent. If they do
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: an attempt to stop to cap interest rates and credit cards,
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: that would be a disaster. Of course, immigration is a disaster.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: Tariff's a disaster. But there are some good things that
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: he's done. He's cut taxes. He hasn't cut spending, which
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: is a disaster, and he has and he is doing deregulation.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: So deregulation, deregulation. Deregulation is the number one good thing
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: Trump is doing from an economic perspective, and the more
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: he does, the better it will be. And I think
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: that he's got some really thoughtful people at the EPA,
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: at the Department of Energy, at the Department of the
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: Interior who are doing significantly significant deregulation things that should
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: encourage energy production, encourage resources extraction, and encourage big projects
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: because environmental reviews will be a lot simpler and a
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: lot easier. The question is is he doing it in
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: a way that will be very difficult for a democratic
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: president in the future to reverse and that I'm not sure. James.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: Do you find it hard to get into the heads
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: of people with the consistently nihilistic mindset? Human psychology is hard?
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: Or did Einman find it easy? Yeah? I think it's
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: very hard. It's very hard to get into anybody's head,
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: but particularly people whose whole way of looking at the
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: world is different from yours. I can kind of understand socialists,
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 2: I mean old line socialists who in some sense want
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: to make the world a better place but are completely
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: wrong about it, but there's some positive intent versus the nihilists.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: To God, there's just nothing, just nothing positive about it.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: Nihilis of the left, nihilists of the right. I think
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: most socials become nihlis ultimately when it doesn't work, or
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: they become more pragmatic, but if they stick to their guns,
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: they become nihilists. So yeah, nihilism, it's hard. It's hard
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: to get in the head of a nihilist. It's hard
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: to project what your mind would be like if you
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: were nihilistic. It's because it's so anti values and a
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: healthy mind is pro values, it's value oriented constantly. So yeah,
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: very much so, Paul, what is your opinion of Canada,
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: Australia and England letting their toolers enter their countries. I mean,
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: I think it's horrible. I think I've been saying it's
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: horrible for twenty plus years. I don't understand it. It's evil.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: But they you know, they wanted the oil, they wanted
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: the money, they were spending a lot of money there.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: But these were the enemy. And you're letting the enemy
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: into your country. And as I've told you, a lot
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: of real estate in Toronto, a lot of real estate
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: in London. I don't know about Australia, but certainly London
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: Toronto is Uranians. It's the atola is. It's it's the
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: most evil people in the face of the earth own
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: property in these places and everybody knows it. It's out
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: in the open, basically, and nobody seems to give. It's
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: that moral fear of moral judgment, fear of declaring somebody
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: an enemy and somebody evil. It's, you know, it's such weakness,
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: it's really pathetic. Ian. During Biden's Offghanistan withdraw a worthy thing,
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 2: there were thirteen soldiers killed, and Biden's popularity never recovered.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: Then now thirteen soldiers killed in twenty twenty sixty one, well,
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: will it heard Trump's popularity civilarity. No, No, you can't
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: compare the two. God, And it wasn't a worthy thing,
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: not the way he did it, and not how he
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: did it when he did it. It was just it
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: was just a complete failure for so thirteen soldiers killed
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: for what in the name of American weakness, in the
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: name of American you know, a lack of planning, in
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 2: the name of American lack of strategy. I don't. I
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: mean Iran was going really, really well, and for war
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 2: against a war, full fledged war against a country like Yvon,
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: for only thirteen people to die, that is an amazing success.
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: And I think people get that. I don't. The two
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: are not comparable. And the thing is, Biden didn't suffer
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: that much because of thirteen dead. He suffered because of
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: the just pathetic nature of the whole exercise. How quickly
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: the Taliban took control of everything, and how pathetic it
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: was to see the United States run with its tail
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: between its legs. The whole thing was misconceived, the whole
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: I mean the fact that Trump signed a piece deal
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: with the Taliban the year earlier, and then the fact
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: that Biden just just if I wait, without any strategy,
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: without any considerations, and without dealing a death blow to
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: the Teleban, which is what should have been done. Yes,
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 2: we should have left, but before that, we should have
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: bought the B two s and the B ones, the
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 2: B fifty twos and eviscerated anything of the Teleban we
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: could find and then walked away. No. I don't think
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: they're comparable at all, Lewis. Perhaps it's time to call
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: out isolationists for their tds. It's only fair. Yeah, all
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: the isolationist are called me for TDS. Maybe they should
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: be accused now TDS. Good call. I like that, thanks, Lewis.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: Not java algorithm? To what extent should we tolerate morally
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: mixed people in our personal lives, in our families at work.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: If we kept people off as soon as we discover
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: their mall flaws, we won't be able to move forward
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: in this world? Yeah? I mean it's contextual, right, I mean,
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 2: if somebody's morally flawed, you probably don't want to. I mean,
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 2: in significant ways, you don't. You probably don't want to
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: marry them. You probably don't want them as best friends,
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 2: but you know, in a particular context suddenly at work.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 2: You can't expect people, particularly in this world, particularly today,
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: not having been exposed to the right moral ideas, You
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: can't expect them to be one hundred percent model. So
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: you have to evaluate the value you have to You
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 2: have to trade it off. How Molly flowed the the
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 2: You know they are mass murderers. Well, yeah, we know
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: what to do about that. The Flauds, I think we
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: know what to do about that. But you know, once
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: in a while they lie. Okay, so there's a certain
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: distance you want to keep from there. But you can't
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 2: just cut everybody off who once in a while lies.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: It's just everywhere. Family. It depends on what you're getting
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: in return, right, what is the value of family and
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 2: what are you willing to tolerate in order to get
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: that value. But we live in a extworled Most people
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 2: are going to be mixed. You have to accept that reality.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: Otherwise you're living in a fantasy. Horrison. From what I've
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: seen online, most and I suspect all Mega members who
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: are upset about this war a Goipers and Nick foyinters fans.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: Kudos to Trump forgiving them as much attention as they merit,
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 2: which is zero. Maybe. I mean, I don't know that
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: Tucker is and Tucker fans are gropers. I don't think
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: Magan Kelly is a grouper. There are plenty of mega
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 2: people who are not goupers who still oppose Trump. I'm
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 2: glad Trump has written Tucker off. I'm glad Trump has
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 2: written a lot of these other people off. Uh. That's
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 2: a good sign. Maybe they'll have less power and the
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 2: Republican Party moving forward. But again, what I fear o
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: the JD Evans and even and even Rubio because they
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: take these ideas of national nationalism seriously and it's hard
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: to tell what kind of world they would like to
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: create when they gain a position of power. Particularly Rubio
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 2: right now has loved universally. What is he really about?
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 2: What does he really want? Particularly in domestic policy? You
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: know that will determine whether he's worthy of support or not.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 2: Multi splendid I recently heard the paychecks for the irg
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: C weren't being delivered because of their bank was bombed.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 2: Have you heard of this as well? Yeah, I coverted
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 2: one of the shows last week. Yes, there's radio ma can.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 2: Somebody bombed the main bank of the IOGC. Not even
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 2: the bank, they bombed the data center where all the
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: data was being held and it is required to produce
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 2: the checks. So yes, a lot of these besiege and
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 2: ILGC soldiers are not getting their paychecks and this is
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 2: contributing to the mass defection that is going on within
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: their ranks. John, thank you for the sticker. I really
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: appreciate it. All right, here's Clark. Why is everyone saying
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 2: BIB has been unlived? I don't know what that means killed.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know who's saying that, but BB is still
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 2: the I'm not sure what that means at all. You'll
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 2: have to explain the context of that, because I haven't
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 2: seen anybody say that. Clark says, John Myshamaia Mushamayah is
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 2: clearly an anti sement I think that right. It's a travesty.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 2: Just Napolitanium has him on all the time. I agree,
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 2: But Napolitano, unfortunately is captured by the anti American wing
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 2: of the Libertarian Party who hates any American intervention anywhere
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: in the world, even when it's an act of self defense.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 2: They hate nobody as much as they ultimately hate themselves, James,
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 2: Our intellectuals seem to believe you're only allowed to do
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: the bare minimum to defend yourself, and even then it's
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 2: still your fault. Yeah, intellectuals hate America, hate Israel, I
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: hate the West. Basically, they hatred of the West. And
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: these are some intellectuals on the left, some intellectuals on
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: the right, some libertarian intellectuals. They hate the West. And
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 2: then for the enemies of the West, always right, and
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: the West has no moral standing by which to defend
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: itself because of colonialism or because of statism. But you know,
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 2: if you one has their thing, you know, America is
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 2: the number one terrorist country in the world. You'll hear
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: from the libertarians in particular. So yeah, I mean there's
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 2: a real visceral hatred of Western civilization. Liam Should we
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: be legally allowed to take out a life insurance policy
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 2: on someone without telling them? God, I don't see why not.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: I know it creates this incentive to kill them, but
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 2: that's a different story. Yet, I don't see why you
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: shouldn't be allowed allowed to take out insurance policy that
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: in and of itself cannot be allowed killing the person
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: is what is illegal, So I don't it's a contractual
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 2: issue that the market needs to solve. I don't think
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 2: the government has any saying at one with the other Liams.
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 2: This is a quote from Alone Musk. Social limit is
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 2: the socialism is the theory that if you abolish prophets,
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 2: bread will somehow bake itself out of moral superiority. That's
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 2: a really good Alan Musk quote. He has really good
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 2: quotes and then he has really awful ones as well.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 2: He's such a mixed character. Marra Beans, Philosophy at Work,
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 2: thank you for a lovely pie day wedding. I look
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: forward to a lifetime of nerdness with you again. Congratulations
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: to Mara Beans and Philosophy at Work on getting married.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 2: It's great to see people who flooded on the IRN
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 2: book show get together and tie the knot. It's fantastic.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 2: Have a great, long, happy life together. Appa gamble is
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 2: Trump's plan to have no plan?
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 2: I mean again, he has some plans, but he wings
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: it and there's a lot of emotion that goes into
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 2: to it. But I don't think that it is and
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 2: he has other people who do the planning. That is
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 2: the pentagon does a lot of the actual planning Huppacampbo.
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 2: While emotions and our tools of cognition, isn't suppressing emotions, ignoring,
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: ignowing evidence. Yes, it's gnoing evidence about you, about how
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 2: you respond to things. So you should never never suppress emotions.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 2: You just shouldn't act on them without thought. Uh So,
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 2: emotions are emotions. They are what they are, and you
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: should always recognize them as such. You should never suppress
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 2: them or evade them, recognize them and try to understand them. Huppacambo.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 2: What is the culture preventing altruism from being from going
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: too deep? What in the culture is preventing altruism from
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 2: going too deep? I think it's just the the Enlightenment
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: values that still exist out there. The idea of pursuit
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 2: of happiness, the idea of self improvement, the idea of
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 2: my life is mine. I think those ideas coming out
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 2: of the Enlightenment are still hanging around, and that prevents
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 2: altruism from going too deep to the point of destroying
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 2: your own life. Willingly, people are not willing to do that.
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 2: They still want to be happy, they still want to
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 2: be successful. Harrison. No, really, I ran into this problem
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: when trying to show a song to chat GPT. You
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: can describe music to it, even verbally, but there's no
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: mechanism for it to hear a melody itself. The LM's
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: are deaf. Well, it depends what you mean by death.
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 2: You can talk to it and it will understand your words,
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 2: but it's probably deaf to music because it has it
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: has no way to relate to music. It has no
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 2: way to describe it to do anything with just sounds.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 2: It can learn the pronunciation of a word, it can't
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 2: learn music. I think that's right. Not you have your algorithm.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 2: I don't think Americans will ever hand over the Second
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 2: Amendment rights, no matter how authoritarian we become. It's our
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 2: only right. People get violently animated about on that. I
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 2: will just say, we will see. Hopefully we'll never get
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 2: to that, but we will see. Michael is Trump getting
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: rid of Jones Act the lower gas prices? Yes, he knows,
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: and he's not getting rid of the Jones Act. I
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 2: wish he is suspending it for a finite short period
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 2: of time. That's it. He's not getting rid of it,
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 2: and he knows his people know that the Jones Act
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 2: raises prices on Americans, So he is spending it to
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 2: get prices at least of gasoline down for this short
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 2: period of time in which it's suspended. Nebule, thank you
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 2: for the sticker. Really appreciate it. Michael says, have you
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 2: seen Ted Cruz pushing back against anti Semitism? And then
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 2: you write, yeah, I think he's doing a good job.
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 2: I don't like Ted Cruz and what he's become, but
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 2: it's good. It's good that at least he has a
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 2: line in the sand. At least he has some standards
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 2: that he's willing to fight against. Good for him. Paul
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 2: was the Chinese hypersonic missile used? I don't know, I don't.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think all the missiles used up.
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 2: Maybe Chinese help design, but they're ultimately Iranian built. Kiki,
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 2: I think, can you risk iran collapse and uranium ending
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 2: up lost rogue cell and what if of it isn't
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 2: all all at non sights or hidden in some trunk
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 2: with rogue cells. I mean, here's the point. It's it's
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 2: sixty percent. You'd still have to refine it. You'd need
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 2: technology for that, you'd need centerfuges, Israeli intelligence, American intelligence
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 2: will discover if you try to do that, they'd figure
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 2: out where you are. I'm really not worried about that.
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 2: I'm not worried about Wogue cells. I'm not worried about
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 2: that much. I mean, maybe you could build the dirty bomb,
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 2: but that wouldn't be a nuclear bomb. It'll it'll just
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 2: be a destructive but it will be the dirty bomb.
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 2: You'd still have to be able to smuggle the uranium out,
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 2: very difficult all the and you're undermining You're underestimating how
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 2: powerful intelligence is in tracking these kind of things and
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 2: abating or disrupting those kind of plans. So I think
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 2: certainly israel I think has a plan on what to
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 2: do with the uranium, you know, whether the Americans do
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 2: or not, because there arebviously the most likely victim, Harrison.
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 2: When you mess with America, we will turn your philosopher
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 2: King Gay. I'd also like to bet you ten dollars
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 2: Takia Cousin is literally an Iranian spy. Yeah, I doubt
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 2: he's an Iranian spy. Yeah, I don't think he's an
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 2: Iranian spy. You need to be. I don't think he's
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 2: smart enough to be an Iranian spy. But it is
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 2: funny that rumors on now. The rumor is that the
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 2: Supreme Leader of Iran is actually a homosexual. Even the
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 2: homosexuality is illegal in Iran and potentially punished by death.
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 2: The leader of Iran is rumored again and supposed to
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 2: see I believes this that he is a homosexual. Kind
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 2: of funny. Mary A. Lene earlier was a biologist who
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 2: specialized in insects. Maybe he saw us as insects, such
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 2: an evil man. Yeah, I think he saw us as
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 2: probably insects, as a plague. He hated human beings, he
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 2: celebrated I think human death. He wanted that. He wanted
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 2: fewer people for the sake of having fewer people, ZG
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 2: won something. The third possibility he Teka got conned Ali, Yeah,
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 2: it's you're right. That's definitely a possibility that he got conned.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 2: I think the most likely possibilities he made it up
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 2: because he's a just like he makes other stuff up.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 2: But it could be that one be con It could
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 2: be absolutely somebody conned him, called him up, said they
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 2: were CIA, and he believed them. Roman last question, and
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 2: by the way, Wes, thank you for the fifty dollars sticker,
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 2: really really really appreciate that, and thank you. Less than
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 2: fifty dollars away from the goal, So like a couple
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 2: of twenty dollars questions and we can get there. So
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 2: we can get to the goal. So please consider doing
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 2: a couple of twenty dollars questions. So somebody you do
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 2: another fifty dollars sticker and we're done. Roman says you're on.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 2: Today is Shaharashan Besui, the Iranian fire festival beginning the
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 2: New year festivities. The purifying fire cleanses us from Laura
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 2: and Johnny. Yes, and it's also, of course it's more
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 2: of a pre Islami holiday, so I'm sure the regime
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 2: doesn't particularly like it. The sun of the Shah has
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 2: already been out, encouraging the security photos is to back
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 2: out so that the Iranians can go out into the
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 2: street and celebrate. It's happening right now. So I don't
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 2: know what's going on in the streets of Yuan right now,
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 2: but so I'm not sure. I'm not sure what the
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 2: regime is doing with the celebrations. Molten splendid. Do you
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 2: know if Israel or the United States will soon be
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 2: destroying the coastal caves along the streets of homes. Also
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 2: about China, fans, etc. Escorting ships I mentioned they're escorting earlier.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 2: It does look like the United States has been bombing
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 2: extensively along the shore there. I don't know in particular caves,
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 2: but they're basically taking out sites from which they could
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 2: launch drones and missiles, anti ship missiles, bases, small ports,
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 2: maybe caves as well, So they are taking that out
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 2: as much as possible, is my understanding. It does look
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 2: like fans, maybe even the UK, but a couple of
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 2: other European countries, including the Japanese and then the Indians,
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 2: all going to participate in escorting ships. I don't think
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 2: China will join, although Trump has pushed them to join.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 2: I don't think they're They're quite I don't think they're
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 2: going to join. We'll see. It would be great if
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 2: they did, but but we will see. So you know,
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: how to tell Harrison, what do you think of Ben
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 2: Shapiro's one man who said to cleanse the right of
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 2: anti Semitism nihilism. I mean, I you know, good for him.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 2: It's going to be difficult, and I think at the
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 2: end of the day, It is people like Ben Shapiro,
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 2: as I've said before, who made the anti Semitism annihilism possible.
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 2: It is them who celebrated Donald Trump and celebrated much
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 2: of the New Right, celebrated Taka until most recently, Uh
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 2: celebrated these people he you know, to lifestand he promoted
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 2: Candice On when it was clear she was already crazy
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 2: and gave her the prominence she got and then became
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 2: became an antisemiti. So they have some blame to carry here.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 2: But it's good that at least Uh, Ben Shapiro and
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 2: Mike Mike Mike Levin, Mark Lavin, Mark Levin are fighting back.
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 2: Good for Mark and good for Ben. The challenge is
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 2: that they're just considered Jews right, and they're not taking
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 2: that seriously because they just dismissed as they're doing it
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 2: because they Jews. Richard, I would support the Roan action
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 2: if we had some idea of who replaces the Theocret's thots.
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 2: I don't care who replaces the Theocrets. It doesn't matter
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 2: as long as they're not theocratic, right. I mean, what
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 2: makes you Ron dangerous is their elsiosity. I don't care
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 2: if it's a secular dictator. I don't care if it's
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 2: a democracy, if it's a constitutional republic, if it's a
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 2: constitutional monarchy. What difference does it make From the perspective
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 2: of the interest of the United States and the interest
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 2: of Israel. All they want is the long term threat
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 2: to be eliminated and a secular strong man. While bad
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 2: for the Indian people. Maybe is probably does not hate Israel,
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 2: probably does not hate the United States, probably is not
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 2: building nuclear weapons. So no, I mean, as long as
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: the theocracy is gone, it doesn't matter who replaces them
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 2: from the perspective of the interests of Israel in the
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 2: United States. So it's better if if it is some
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 2: kind of somebody who advocates for freedom. But even if
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 2: it's not, it's still worth it. From again, from the
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 2: perspective of self defense. A fan of Aristotle, thank you
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 2: for the sticker. Really appreciate that. All right, everybody, Thank
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 2: you to all the super chatters, all the stick of people.
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 2: Really really appreciate the support. I will be back tomorrow.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 2: From now until early April, we've got shows so pretty
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 2: much every day Saturday, Sundays and as some thing comes up.
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 2: So I will see you tomorrow and have a gre
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 2: eat the rest of your week. Bye, everybody,
