- 1:10Speaker 2: The Trump administration today this morning released its National Security
- 1:17Speaker 2: Strategy document. Uh, no big fanfare, no big press confidence.
- 1:24Speaker 2: Trump didn't make a big deal out of this. Really interesting,
- 1:27Speaker 2: you know that that it kind of snuck in like.
- 1:30Speaker 1: That without without a lot of fanfare.
- 1:33Speaker 2: But this is kind of the guiding the guiding principles
- 1:39Speaker 2: for American farm policy moving forward. And as we'll see
- 1:43Speaker 2: it's more than just American phone policy. It even touches
- 1:46Speaker 2: on domestic policy. It is a strategic document. It's supposed
- 1:50Speaker 2: to be big picture, uh strategy. This is something every
- 1:56Speaker 2: administration typically puts out. You know, famous George Bush had one.
- 2:01Speaker 2: It was called Forward Strategy for Freedom, which I did
- 2:04Speaker 2: a whole talk.
- 2:08Speaker 1: I did a whole.
- 2:08Speaker 2: Talk on criticizing and actually an essay with Elon Jono
- 2:13Speaker 2: which made it into Elon Juno's book, Winning the Unwinnable War,
- 2:17Speaker 2: where I was critical of George Bush's a Forward Strategy
- 2:20Speaker 2: for Freedom. This document, this strategic plan, is relatively short.
- 2:26Speaker 2: It's thirty three pages, and it's thin, undetails, and there's
- 2:35Speaker 2: quite a few glaring things that are absent from it,
- 2:38Speaker 2: which we will discuss. So we're gonna spend most of
- 2:40Speaker 2: our time going over this document. Actually for your benefit,
- 2:44Speaker 2: have it up.
- 2:45Speaker 1: On screen so you can you can actually look at it.
- 2:48Speaker 1: You know, it starts, it starts way over here. National
- 2:53Speaker 1: Security Strategy of the United States twenty twenty five. It
- 2:57Speaker 1: has a forward by Donald Trump which is not worth
- 3:00Speaker 1: really reading. Introduction and introduction, What is American strategy? Defined strategy?
- 3:05Speaker 1: Which is all all good stuff and then you know, we'll.
- 3:10Speaker 2: Jump into what should the strategy be, what are the goals,
- 3:14Speaker 2: what should America want?
- 3:16Speaker 1: Is the way to present it?
- 3:17Speaker 2: And let me just say this is a heavily, heavily
- 3:22Speaker 2: heavily mixed document. It's got some passages that are great.
- 3:26Speaker 2: It's actually got one line that I think they stole
- 3:29Speaker 2: from me at some point. I'll point that out when we.
- 3:31Speaker 1: Get to it.
- 3:33Speaker 2: It's got some some basically good stuff in it, and
- 3:36Speaker 2: it's got a lot of bad stuff in it, and
- 3:40Speaker 2: most of it is just blah. Mostly it's just not
- 3:45Speaker 2: neither here nor there, and it's got a lot missing.
- 3:50Speaker 2: It's got a lot missing, and I think i'll just
- 3:54Speaker 2: say this, the thing missing most from it is any
- 3:58Speaker 2: sense and I know which actually just Ush's document did have,
- 4:03Speaker 2: and this one does not have any sense of good
- 4:09Speaker 2: and evil, any sense of good countries, bad countries, just
- 4:16Speaker 2: unjust anything like that. It has none of that. It
- 4:22Speaker 2: is really here American interests, and this is what we're
- 4:25Speaker 2: going to pursue. And all countries have interests, and all
- 4:29Speaker 2: countries will pursue their interests.
- 4:31Speaker 1: And that's okay.
- 4:32Speaker 2: And that's the tone of it. The tone of it
- 4:35Speaker 2: is values free at least universal value free and in
- 4:41Speaker 2: that sense, it is very much reasoned like a document,
- 4:45Speaker 2: and let's be clear, not written by Donald Trump. This
- 4:48Speaker 2: is not a trumpest document, although it has element of
- 4:51Speaker 2: it to appease him.
- 4:53Speaker 1: This is a document really written by elements within the
- 4:58Speaker 1: Department of Defense, Deparliament of War that I influenced clearly
- 5:03Speaker 1: by the national conservative movement.
- 5:05Speaker 2: So this is a document that will please the national conservatives.
- 5:09Speaker 2: It's got strong national conservative elements in it. It's supportive of,
- 5:16Speaker 2: kind of in a nuanced way, the national conservative agenda
- 5:21Speaker 2: and then generally a nationalist agenda, but a national conservative
- 5:24Speaker 2: agenda in particular.
- 5:26Speaker 1: So we will go over this. So you know, we'll
- 5:30Speaker 1: start with what do we want? What does America want?
- 5:34Speaker 2: Well, first and foremost, it says, we want to continue
- 5:36Speaker 2: to survival and safety of the United States as an independent,
- 5:39Speaker 2: sovereign republic whose government secures that God given natural rights
- 5:44Speaker 2: of its citizens and privatize their well being an interest. Okay,
- 5:48Speaker 2: that is good, right, except for the God given part
- 5:51Speaker 2: and God given natural rights. Every time they talk about rights,
- 5:55Speaker 2: which is two or three times, it's always God given
- 5:57Speaker 2: natural rights. It's always God given natural rights. Again, consistent
- 6:01Speaker 2: with kind of national conservatives considered consistent with Christian conservatives.
- 6:06Speaker 1: The emphasis is on.
- 6:07Speaker 2: God given I guess to differentiate from the government given
- 6:14Speaker 2: rights that the left.
- 6:16Speaker 1: Would argue for. So here they have to make the
- 6:18Speaker 1: case that's our rights a god given as compared to whatever.
- 6:24Speaker 1: So that's good.
- 6:25Speaker 2: Yeah, we want to protect the independence, we want to
- 6:27Speaker 2: protect their soeignty, and we want to certainly want to
- 6:29Speaker 2: protect rights. Rights should be the integrating part of this.
- 6:33Speaker 2: It's just one of the many things. So they don't
- 6:35Speaker 2: quite understand rights. But that's okay, that's not the worst
- 6:39Speaker 2: thing here. We want to protect this country, it's people,
- 6:42Speaker 2: it's territory, it's economy, and it's way of life from
- 6:44Speaker 2: military attack and hostile for un influenced. Yes, we're they espionage,
- 6:50Speaker 2: predatory trade practices. Huh, So we want to protect the country,
- 6:56Speaker 2: it's people, it's territory's economy from predatory trade practices. Interesting,
- 7:00Speaker 2: this is a found policy agenda, drug and human trafficking,
- 7:04Speaker 2: destructive propaganda. Who gets to decide which propaganda is destructive
- 7:09Speaker 2: in which propaganda is not destructive? And influence operations? Cultural subversion.
- 7:16Speaker 2: We don't want cultural subversion, so we're gonna use a
- 7:20Speaker 2: fund policy to stop preedatory trade practices, whatever the hell
- 7:23Speaker 2: those are. I mean, the easiest thing to stop predatory
- 7:28Speaker 2: trade practices is just not to do them.
- 7:31Speaker 1: If it's predatory, just don't trade. It's easy.
- 7:36Speaker 2: I don't engage in predatory trade practices because I won't
- 7:39Speaker 2: trade with people trying to take advantage of me.
- 7:45Speaker 1: Just leave it to Americans. They're pretty good at that. Drugs.
- 7:49Speaker 2: You know, we talked about it in other context about
- 7:51Speaker 2: why drugs is not an appropriate goal of their American government.
- 7:55Speaker 2: And propaganda, influence and cultural subversion is very dangerous territory
- 7:59Speaker 2: for the government to get involved in identifying it and
- 8:03Speaker 2: defining what it is. The best thing is to light
- 8:08Speaker 2: ideas rip. We want full control of our voters over
- 8:14Speaker 2: our immigation system and over transportation networks through which people.
- 8:18Speaker 1: Come into the country.
- 8:21Speaker 2: Not surprising you'll see in this document, immigration plays a
- 8:24Speaker 2: huge role. Immigration is the source of our problems, and
- 8:27Speaker 2: immigration is a key feature of what our found policy
- 8:32Speaker 2: should be. We want resilient national infrastructure. Yeah, I'm all
- 8:37Speaker 2: for resilient national infrastructure, although the best way to make
- 8:40Speaker 2: it resilient is to sell it to the private sector
- 8:44Speaker 2: and courage competition.
- 8:46Speaker 1: We want to trude, train, equipp and field the world's
- 8:49Speaker 1: most powerful, lethal, and technologically advanced military.
- 8:54Speaker 2: And now listen to this and tell me if this
- 8:57Speaker 2: isn't stolen from something I said written in the.
- 9:01Speaker 1: Past to protect our interests. The two wars, and here's
- 9:06Speaker 1: where it gets.
- 9:08Speaker 2: If necessary, win them quickly and decisively with the lowest
- 9:14Speaker 2: positive possible casualty star forces.
- 9:18Speaker 1: I mean, that's like a direct quote for me, quickly
- 9:22Speaker 1: and decisively with the lowest possible casualty star forces.
- 9:27Speaker 2: You know I couldn't agree more. I agree with that
- 9:30Speaker 2: statement one hundred percent.
- 9:32Speaker 1: Uh. You know that's perfect.
- 9:35Speaker 2: And if only I believed that they would live up
- 9:38Speaker 2: to it, I would embrace it completely. And of course
- 9:42Speaker 2: I don't believe that they will go with the war
- 9:44Speaker 2: when it's appropriate and not go to war where it's
- 9:46Speaker 2: not appropriated. I don't believe anything they can do. But
- 9:49Speaker 2: was that's exactly how they should be for it, And
- 9:51Speaker 2: I said so first.
- 9:53Speaker 1: So who knows who had some hand in writing this
- 9:59Speaker 1: that might have I've read something that I've written or
- 10:01Speaker 1: listen to me in the past. I've been doing this
- 10:04Speaker 1: for a long time.
- 10:05Speaker 2: A lot of people have heard my stuff, particularly in
- 10:08Speaker 2: fun policy. We want the world's most robust, credible, and
- 10:15Speaker 2: modern nuclear discernans. Yeah, and including Golden Dome for American homeland. Yes,
- 10:22Speaker 2: no question. We want the world's strongest, most dynamic, most innovative,
- 10:25Speaker 2: most advanced economy.
- 10:26Speaker 1: How do you get that?
- 10:28Speaker 2: I mean, this is a big question, right, how do
- 10:30Speaker 2: we get the most dynamic, most innovative, most robust economy,
- 10:33Speaker 2: advanced economy? What what does that come Where does that
- 10:38Speaker 2: come from? How does that happen? I mean, I'll tell
- 10:41Speaker 2: you right now. The document does not say we know
- 10:45Speaker 2: people listening to this show know what I think at least,
- 10:48Speaker 2: and that is capitalist and freedom, free markets. Get the
- 10:51Speaker 2: government the hell out of markets. Stop trying to central
- 10:54Speaker 2: the plan, stop trying to to to manage the economy,
- 10:58Speaker 2: Stop trying to tell us who to trade with and
- 11:00Speaker 2: who not, Stop trying to tell us what we should
- 11:02Speaker 2: and shouldn't make, Stop trying to manipulate the economy. That's
- 11:08Speaker 2: how you get the world's strongest and most dynamic, most
- 11:10Speaker 2: the innovative, and most advanced economy. Indeed, we innovate, and
- 11:13Speaker 2: we're advanced, and we're dynamic in direct proportion to the
- 11:18Speaker 2: lack of regulation and control, but that they're not going
- 11:23Speaker 2: to say. They're not going to say because that would
- 11:26Speaker 2: upset too many people within the administration. We want the
- 11:29Speaker 2: world's most robust industrial base. Really, I'm not sure that's true.
- 11:35Speaker 2: We want the most robust economy and most dynamic, most innovative.
- 11:39Speaker 2: Whether that leads the industrial base, that might retard American
- 11:44Speaker 2: growth because it will misallocate capital. We want the most robust,
- 11:48Speaker 2: productive and innovative energy sector. Yeah, probably, it probably happens anyway.
- 11:54Speaker 2: All you need to do is get out of the way.
- 11:55Speaker 2: It goes back to what I said before. We want
- 11:58Speaker 2: the world's most scientifically and technology advanced and innovative country.
- 12:04Speaker 1: Yeah. Again, freedom achieves that. And maybe.
- 12:11Speaker 2: You know, not stopping all the funding to the things
- 12:14Speaker 2: to science would be helpful here at least until you
- 12:19Speaker 2: create a kind of a private alternative to it.
- 12:23Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 12:23Speaker 2: It doesn't seem like the Trumpet denverstation is taking that
- 12:25Speaker 2: one very seriously. We want to maintain the United States
- 12:28Speaker 2: unrivaled seft power, through which we exercise positive influence soft powers.
- 12:34Speaker 1: When you don't have to go to war, you don't
- 12:37Speaker 1: have to use weapons.
- 12:38Speaker 2: People listen to you because they respect you. They like
- 12:42Speaker 2: you because they know you represent important values, and it
- 12:48Speaker 2: really it's worth it. How do you achieve soft power
- 12:52Speaker 2: but getting respect from other countries? Do you think Trump
- 12:56Speaker 2: has done that over the last nine months ten months?
- 13:01Speaker 2: Tariffs undermine soft power. His wishwashingess, his corruption, his groveling
- 13:10Speaker 2: before dictators does not encourage soft power. It actually weakens
- 13:18Speaker 2: soft power.
- 13:21Speaker 1: You know, it writes it. Doing so, we will.
- 13:23Speaker 2: Unapologetic, unapologic about the country's past and present, while respectful
- 13:27Speaker 2: of other countries, deferring religions, cultures, and governing systems. Why
- 13:32Speaker 2: should you be respectful of other countries religions, cultures, and
- 13:38Speaker 2: governing systems. This sounds like a leftist subjectivist document. Like
- 13:44Speaker 2: this sounds like you want to be friends with the
- 13:46Speaker 2: Qataris and you don't want to criticize their religion, culture,
- 13:50Speaker 2: and governing It sounds like this means you want to
- 13:52Speaker 2: be friendly with Putin and not challenge his governing system.
- 13:56Speaker 2: This sounds like you want to be friends with she
- 13:59Speaker 2: and but doing all that, are you really going to
- 14:01Speaker 2: enhance soft power? So here they want to differentiate themselves
- 14:08Speaker 2: on new coons who supposedly I wish you know, actually
- 14:12Speaker 2: took the position that you know, we have the right
- 14:15Speaker 2: political system and we should encourage other people to adopt
- 14:18Speaker 2: it as well.
- 14:18Speaker 1: And we shouldn't. We should take into account differing religion, culture,
- 14:22Speaker 1: and governing systems.
- 14:26Speaker 2: Finally, we want the restoration and reinvigoration of Americans spiritual
- 14:32Speaker 2: and cultural health, so do I without which long term
- 14:35Speaker 2: security is impossible. We want people who are proud, happy,
- 14:42Speaker 2: and optimistic that they will leave their country to the
- 14:45Speaker 2: next generation better than they founded.
- 14:49Speaker 1: You know, I want that too, although the stuff about
- 14:51Speaker 1: the next generation is less important to me, but I
- 14:53Speaker 1: want that too. This is great. How do we do that?
- 14:57Speaker 1: How do we do that?
- 15:01Speaker 2: Capitalism, freedom, respect to the constitution, respect for individualism, respect
- 15:10Speaker 2: for individual rights, or a new respect for what made
- 15:14Speaker 2: this country great, not through their tribalism and their mindlessness
- 15:18Speaker 2: and emotionalism.
- 15:20Speaker 1: Freedom.
- 15:24Speaker 2: What do we want in and from the world. Oh,
- 15:26Speaker 2: now we're getting the frump Possey in and from the world.
- 15:29Speaker 1: This is great. We want to ensure that the Western
- 15:33Speaker 1: hemisphere remains reasonably stable. So here's a strategic shift that
- 15:38Speaker 1: is happening from previous documents like this, And you know,
- 15:42Speaker 1: there's a real shift from George Bush's document from twenty seventeen,
- 15:52Speaker 1: The last time we got a Bush, last time we
- 15:55Speaker 1: got a Trump strategy. There's a real shift.
- 16:01Speaker 2: In the twenty seventeen document, Western Hemisphere gets a brief
- 16:04Speaker 2: mention one page, general corporation something. Now, Western Hemisphere is
- 16:11Speaker 2: the heart of it. We're establishing a new Monroe doctrine.
- 16:16Speaker 2: We want to other the Western Hemisphere and remain reasonably stable.
- 16:19Speaker 2: We're governed enough to prevent a discourage mass migration, because
- 16:24Speaker 2: that's the.
- 16:24Speaker 1: Real threat to America.
- 16:25Speaker 2: If only you can get rid of those brown looking migrants,
- 16:28Speaker 2: everything would be so much better, so much better. We
- 16:33Speaker 2: want a hemispheres governments cooperate with US against narco terrorists, cartels,
- 16:38Speaker 2: and other transnational criminal organizations. Yeah, that's the problem in America.
- 16:43Speaker 1: It's the other I told you that it's immigrants and
- 16:47Speaker 1: narco terrorists.
- 16:49Speaker 2: We want a hemisphere that remains free of hostile foreign
- 16:53Speaker 2: incursions or ownership of key assets, and that supports critical
- 16:56Speaker 2: supply chains. We want to ensure a continue access to
- 17:00Speaker 2: key strategic locations. In other words, a Monroe doctrine. Now
- 17:05Speaker 2: we can talk about whether a Monroe doctrine is appropriate
- 17:09Speaker 2: in the twenty first century, whether the American Navy basically
- 17:12Speaker 2: has global reach, whether the Western Hemisphere is any different
- 17:15Speaker 2: than any other hemisphere. It is true that the one
- 17:19Speaker 2: thing that the Western Hemisphere has that other countries do
- 17:23Speaker 2: not have is direct access to the American homeland. That is,
- 17:27Speaker 2: direct access to immigrants they can just walk in, and
- 17:31Speaker 2: direct access to drug cutaels they can smuggle the drugs in.
- 17:36Speaker 1: So yes, the Western Hemisphere, you know, given their priorities,
- 17:42Speaker 1: which are immigration and drugs more than anything else, should
- 17:45Speaker 1: be a big deal.
- 17:48Speaker 2: But given that borders are with Mexico and Canada, in
- 17:54Speaker 2: terms of national security, let me emphasize security.
- 18:03Speaker 1: The Western hemisphere is pretty secure. Yeah.
- 18:06Speaker 2: I mean we have peaceful voters both in the South
- 18:09Speaker 2: and in the north and no risk of invasion. And
- 18:14Speaker 2: whatever problems we have with immigration and with drugs, those
- 18:18Speaker 2: problems one hundred percent self inflicted. If we had a
- 18:23Speaker 2: rational immigration system, there would be no mass migration of
- 18:27Speaker 2: people flowing in illegally.
- 18:29Speaker 1: If we had a.
- 18:30Speaker 2: Rational policy of guarding drugs, there would be no narco terrorists.
- 18:35Speaker 1: We have created the problems that this.
- 18:40Speaker 2: Administration thinks of the number one problems that we face
- 18:43Speaker 2: and need to be addressed.
- 18:44Speaker 1: We created them. The document goes on, we want to
- 18:48Speaker 1: hold and reverse ongoing damage that foreign actors inflict on
- 18:52Speaker 1: American economy while keeping the Indo Pacific free and open.
- 18:56Speaker 1: Foreign actors inflict damage on the American economy. How how
- 19:01Speaker 1: do they do that? Oh?
- 19:02Speaker 2: I know, I know how they do that? By trading
- 19:06Speaker 2: with us? How frigging dare they? They trade with us
- 19:09Speaker 2: and by doing so they inflict damage on us. I'm
- 19:13Speaker 2: worse off for trading with somebody. This is zero was
- 19:17Speaker 2: some thinking of the worst kind, perceptual level, mentality of
- 19:22Speaker 2: the worst kind. We want to support our allies in
- 19:26Speaker 2: preserving the freedom and security of Europe. Europe as a
- 19:30Speaker 2: real role here will see the strategy around Europe is
- 19:33Speaker 2: really important. So notice support our allies and preserving the
- 19:38Speaker 2: freedom of security of Europe.
- 19:39Speaker 1: That sounds fantastic, yes, While restoring restoring America is going
- 19:46Speaker 1: to restore Europe's civilizational self confidence and Western identity. Now,
- 19:55Speaker 1: I am all four.
- 19:58Speaker 2: Restoring Europe's civilizational self confidence in Western identity, and I'm
- 20:03Speaker 2: all for doing that because I think it's really really crucial.
- 20:10Speaker 2: But what is Trump?
- 20:12Speaker 1: People?
- 20:12Speaker 2: Because Trump doesn't think what is Trump's people think you
- 20:15Speaker 2: have civilizational self confidence in Western identity means what do
- 20:21Speaker 2: they think that means. I'll tell you what they think
- 20:23Speaker 2: that means. They think that means Christianity. They won't write
- 20:29Speaker 2: it here, but that's what they.
- 20:30Speaker 1: Think it means. Not reason and individualism.
- 20:35Speaker 2: They think it means Christianity with closed borders, right wing Christianity,
- 20:41Speaker 2: not not left wing Christianity like in Europe. They want
- 20:47Speaker 2: to bring civilizational self commedies in Western identity.
- 20:50Speaker 1: What was the thing that Matt Walsh wrote.
- 20:52Speaker 2: Yesterday about how things are worse off in every dimension
- 20:55Speaker 2: in the world right now?
- 20:57Speaker 1: That's what they want to bring back.
- 21:03Speaker 2: And we want to ensure that US technology and US standards,
- 21:07Speaker 2: particularly in AI, biotech and quantum computing, drive the world forward.
- 21:13Speaker 2: We won't ensure that juice technology and your standards, particularly
- 21:16Speaker 2: AI biotech and quantum computing, driver doors forward. Yeah, me too,
- 21:20Speaker 2: me too, yep. Freedom, capitalism all right?
- 21:29Speaker 1: What America is available means to get what we want.
- 21:32Speaker 2: What we have that makes it possible, and this is fascinating.
- 21:37Speaker 2: What are advantages? We have a nimble political system, nimble,
- 21:40Speaker 2: that's what they call it.
- 21:41Speaker 1: Nimble.
- 21:43Speaker 2: We have the world's largest and most innovative economy, leading
- 21:47Speaker 2: financial system, advanced and most innovative, powerful and capable military,
- 21:51Speaker 2: broad network of alliances enview, not so much with Trump
- 21:55Speaker 2: enviable geography, unmatched soft power, courage, will power on patriots
- 22:01Speaker 2: of the American people. Anybody notice anything here missing from
- 22:05Speaker 2: the things that make it make it?
- 22:08Speaker 1: Was it again?
- 22:09Speaker 2: What makes us special? What makes it possible for us
- 22:12Speaker 2: to have this position? What makes all this possible? You
- 22:15Speaker 2: notice anything that's missing? What's missing is what America is.
- 22:22Speaker 1: Freedom.
- 22:24Speaker 2: What's missing is individual rights. What's missing is capital c capitalism.
- 22:30Speaker 2: What's missing is freedom.
- 22:36Speaker 1: Freedom.
- 22:37Speaker 2: But remember, people in Trump universe don't understand why America
- 22:43Speaker 2: is rich. They have no conception of what America is.
- 22:47Speaker 2: Jennifers's the idea of America. Absolutely. What they're missing is
- 22:50Speaker 2: the idea of America, which is what makes all this possible.
- 22:52Speaker 2: But they don't know what that is. They have no idea. Indeed,
- 22:56Speaker 2: when underminded and undercutted said to them, these are just
- 23:00Speaker 2: creeds that are oh, we're rich, cool.
- 23:02Speaker 1: How did we get rich? We're Americans. That's how we
- 23:05Speaker 1: got rich. We're just Americans. We have the right genes.
- 23:10Speaker 1: Something I don't know.
- 23:13Speaker 2: So the whole idea of what America is. It's it's nature.
- 23:16Speaker 2: It goes back to this year about Europe. They want
- 23:19Speaker 2: to civilization of confidence in Western identity.
- 23:22Speaker 1: What the hell is that? Do they know? Enlightenment? Again,
- 23:27Speaker 1: to them, it's Christianity. We're rich because we're Christian. Other
- 23:30Speaker 1: people Christian not rich.
- 23:31Speaker 2: Well, they don't, they don't, they don't the right Christianity.
- 23:37Speaker 1: In addition, through President Trump's robust domestic agenda, the United
- 23:41Speaker 1: States is reinstalling a culture of competence. How is it
- 23:47Speaker 1: doing that?
- 23:47Speaker 2: By rooting out DII? That's how we get back to competence.
- 23:51Speaker 2: Not rooting our DII is good? But is that enough?
- 23:57Speaker 2: At leasting on enormous energy production?
- 23:59Speaker 1: Good?
- 24:00Speaker 2: Reindustrializing our economy hmm interesting given that manufacturing has declined
- 24:07Speaker 2: every month since Trump took office, literally every month, and
- 24:12Speaker 2: it's not getting better.
- 24:13Speaker 1: It's getting worse.
- 24:15Speaker 2: Less industrial jobs, less industrial capacity, less stuff being made
- 24:21Speaker 2: every month since Trump became presidents. He's not reindustrializing, he's deindustrializing, unindustrializing.
- 24:27Speaker 1: Whatever the hell the world is.
- 24:30Speaker 2: Returning economic freedom The only time freedom appears anyway to
- 24:34Speaker 2: our citizens, really, the economic freedom to.
- 24:39Speaker 1: Trade with whoever we want.
- 24:41Speaker 2: We have lowered taxes, true, but we've also increased taxes
- 24:44Speaker 2: called tariffs. We've deregulated, but not in any big significant way.
- 24:51Speaker 2: And then finally investing in emergence technologies and basic science.
- 24:54Speaker 2: I thought Trump was cutting back on investment in basic
- 24:57Speaker 2: science quite dramatically.
- 24:59Speaker 1: Actually they lie. What's new? Okay, what's the strategy? This?
- 25:07Speaker 1: I love the sentence. This is great.
- 25:08Speaker 2: Right, We're going to be pragmatic without being pragmatists. We're
- 25:12Speaker 2: going to being realistic without being realists. We're going to
- 25:15Speaker 2: be principled without being idealistic. We're going to be muscular
- 25:19Speaker 2: without being hawkish, and restrained without being dubbish. It is
- 25:27Speaker 2: not grounded in traditional political ideology because we are America first. Now,
- 25:32Speaker 2: if you understand what the hell that means, good for you,
- 25:35Speaker 2: because I have no clue, and I guarantee you the
- 25:38Speaker 2: people who wrote it have no clue either. They have
- 25:41Speaker 2: no idea what they just wrote.
- 25:45Speaker 1: So what are we going to do? So far?
- 25:48Speaker 2: President Trump has proven an American fall policy. Defense and
- 25:51Speaker 2: intelligence policies whoops, Right, there must be driven by the
- 25:55Speaker 2: falling basic principles focused definition of national interest. That is
- 26:01Speaker 2: absolutely true. But I don't see that happening. The national
- 26:05Speaker 2: interest is some schmogusborg of.
- 26:07Speaker 1: Anti immigration, anti trade, anti drugs, strong military combination and
- 26:15Speaker 1: don't touch a Western hemisphere. Peace through strength. I support
- 26:21Speaker 1: peace through strength. I wish they took seriously Peter's position
- 26:25Speaker 1: to non intervention. This is interesting. Well Peter sposed not
- 26:28Speaker 1: ten TV unless we want to right. Uh? This is
- 26:35Speaker 1: this is this is this is really interesting.
- 26:37Speaker 2: This one sentence of this document, which I think on
- 26:41Speaker 2: the minds a lot of what they write in the
- 26:43Speaker 2: rest of the documentary. It says, in the Declaration Independence,
- 26:47Speaker 2: America's founders laid down a clear preference for non interventionism
- 26:52Speaker 2: in the affears of other nations and made it clear
- 26:55Speaker 2: that the basis.
- 26:58Speaker 1: Here, and this is the sentence, just as.
- 27:00Speaker 2: All human beings possess God given equal natural rights. What
- 27:06Speaker 2: all human beings possess God given equal natural rights?
- 27:11Speaker 1: Let me read that again, All human beings possess God
- 27:16Speaker 1: given equal natural rights? You mean immigrants? Do you mean
- 27:21Speaker 1: even illegal immigrants possess God given equal natural rights equal
- 27:28Speaker 1: to everybody else, including to citizens. Wow.
- 27:35Speaker 2: I guess if you're a drug dealer, you don't possess.
- 27:38Speaker 2: But it says all human. It doesn't say unless you're
- 27:41Speaker 2: doing something Trump doesn't like. It's not in parentheses. All
- 27:47Speaker 2: human beings. That means, including non Americans, they all possess
- 27:52Speaker 2: God given equal natural rights. And then it says all
- 27:55Speaker 2: nations are entitled by the laws of nature, God, and
- 27:59Speaker 2: Nature's God to ac separate an equal station with suspect
- 28:02Speaker 2: another one another.
- 28:05Speaker 1: Really is that what the founders really meant?
- 28:11Speaker 2: And how is that consistent with all human beings possessing
- 28:13Speaker 2: God given equal natural rights. When some nations violate those rights,
- 28:18Speaker 2: are they then equal?
- 28:21Speaker 1: And should they have equal station?
- 28:24Speaker 2: Should Nazi Germany had equalstation with America because because the
- 28:29Speaker 2: laws of nature and Nature's God require it.
- 28:34Speaker 1: I mean, this is bizarre, bizarre.
- 28:38Speaker 2: The first statement is true, all human beings do possess
- 28:42Speaker 2: natural rights, equal natural rights. That is the cornerstone of
- 28:48Speaker 2: them of America. It's the cornerstone of what makes America America.
- 28:52Speaker 2: And this administration violates that principle in almost everything that
- 28:56Speaker 2: it does. But this idea that all countries should be
- 29:04Speaker 2: treated equally is absurd, And here continues for country whose
- 29:11Speaker 2: interests are as numerous and diverse as ours. Rigid adherence
- 29:15Speaker 2: to non interventionism is not possible, so we might intervene sometimes.
- 29:20Speaker 2: We're just not going to tell you when, and we're
- 29:22Speaker 2: not going to lay out a cliff strategy of when
- 29:24Speaker 2: we're gett intervene and when we're not. Like Venezuela, we
- 29:28Speaker 2: don't like them there, and they supply drugs primarily to Europe,
- 29:34Speaker 2: by the way, not to the US.
- 29:36Speaker 1: Most of the drugs from Venezuela go to Europe, but.
- 29:39Speaker 2: Doesn't matter, and therefore we maintain the right to intervene.
- 29:46Speaker 2: And then the Western hemisphere because on flexible realism, we
- 29:50Speaker 2: seek good relations and peaceful commercial relations with the nations
- 29:54Speaker 2: of the world without imposing them democratic or other social
- 29:57Speaker 2: changes that differ widely from the traditions and histories. In
- 30:01Speaker 2: other words, we accept all nations, no matter how much
- 30:04Speaker 2: they violate their own people's God given equal natural rates.
- 30:11Speaker 2: Everybody's the same, All these countries are the same. And
- 30:15Speaker 2: by the way, I don't understand this. We want good
- 30:18Speaker 2: relations and peaceful commercial relations. How to tell us fit
- 30:22Speaker 2: into that, I don't know, Even as we push like
- 30:25Speaker 2: minded friends to uphold our share values. So notice, we
- 30:30Speaker 2: are not going to tell Russia or China or Vietnam
- 30:34Speaker 2: or Venezuela or any country.
- 30:38Speaker 1: How they should run their business. We're not going to
- 30:40Speaker 1: tell them what's right and what's wrong. We're not going
- 30:42Speaker 1: to tell them that they should become more freedom over
- 30:45Speaker 1: in it.
- 30:45Speaker 2: We're not going to tell them any of that, except
- 30:48Speaker 2: except for Western countries. There we're going to lecture them.
- 30:55Speaker 2: We're going to help them bring back civilization, words Christianity.
- 31:03Speaker 2: The primacy of nations. This is straight out of national conservatism.
- 31:06Speaker 2: It is natural and just that all nations put their
- 31:08Speaker 2: interests first in God their sovereignty. But not all nations
- 31:12Speaker 2: have sovereignty, at least not according to Rand. If they're
- 31:15Speaker 2: violating the natural rights of their citizens, they don't have sovereignty.
- 31:21Speaker 2: Sovereignty is from the people, and if the people opposed
- 31:26Speaker 2: to the regime, they have no sovereignty. If the people
- 31:29Speaker 2: are being oppressed by the regime, the regime has no sovereignty.
- 31:34Speaker 2: Sovereignty I mean, this is the primacy of nations. Whereas
- 31:38Speaker 2: we we some of us online, we believe in the
- 31:44Speaker 2: primacy of the individual.
- 31:48Speaker 1: We believe in the primacy of individual rights, you know,
- 31:51Speaker 1: those God given whatever they stated, but they're they right.
- 31:56Speaker 1: We stand for the sovereign rights of nations.
- 31:59Speaker 2: Nations do not have rights, They do not have sovereign
- 32:02Speaker 2: rights against the sovereignty sapping incursions of the most intrusive
- 32:07Speaker 2: transnational organizations.
- 32:09Speaker 1: What if those transnational.
- 32:10Speaker 2: Organizations are seeking liberty and freedom sovereignty in respect, the
- 32:16Speaker 2: United States will unapologetically project our own sovereignty. Attempt so
- 32:20Speaker 2: I found powers of entities to sense our disclosure or
- 32:24Speaker 2: could tell our citizens free speech rights, lobbying and influence
- 32:27Speaker 2: operations and seek to steer our policies or involve us
- 32:30Speaker 2: in foreign conflicts, and cynically manipulation of our immigration system,
- 32:35Speaker 2: always immigration to build up voting blocks loyal to foreign
- 32:39Speaker 2: interests within our country.
- 32:40Speaker 1: The conspiracy theories, balance of power.
- 32:45Speaker 2: The United States cannot allow any nation to become so
- 32:48Speaker 2: pre dominant that it could threaten our interests.
- 32:51Speaker 1: But other than that, we're going to allow.
- 32:53Speaker 2: China to dominate Asia and Russia to dominate whatever it
- 32:57Speaker 2: can dominate.
- 33:00Speaker 1: Pro American worker, what happened to the equal rights? There's
- 33:05Speaker 1: something about equal rights?
- 33:07Speaker 2: But now American workers are going to get proferential treatment.
- 33:11Speaker 2: American positively, we be pro worker? Do I count as
- 33:14Speaker 2: a worker? Do you guys count as workers?
- 33:19Speaker 1: What about the rights of capitalists, business owners, entrepreneurs, innovators, students, children,
- 33:30Speaker 1: I don't know, non workers. This is stupid and contradict fairness.
- 33:45Speaker 2: From military alliances to trade relations and beyond, the United
- 33:49Speaker 2: States will insist them being treated fairly.
- 33:51Speaker 1: By other countries. That's right.
- 33:52Speaker 2: We should be treated fairlies by the countries. We just
- 33:55Speaker 2: don't trade with other countries. We trade with individuals in
- 33:57Speaker 2: those countries.
- 33:58Speaker 1: And we only trade with them.
- 34:00Speaker 2: The only reason Americans trade with foreigners is when it
- 34:03Speaker 2: benefits Americans. If Americans thought that the foreigners were being unfair,
- 34:07Speaker 2: they wouldn't trade with them.
- 34:09Speaker 1: If my grocery store, local grocery shur. If I think
- 34:11Speaker 1: they're unfair, I walk away. Competence and merit.
- 34:17Speaker 2: American prosperity and security depend on the development and promotion
- 34:21Speaker 2: of competence.
- 34:21Speaker 1: I'm awful competence competence is.
- 34:23Speaker 2: Could they continue the success of radical ideologies that seek
- 34:30Speaker 2: to replace competence and merit with favorite group status would
- 34:34Speaker 2: render American America unrecognizable and unable to defend itself.
- 34:38Speaker 1: So this is anti DII. Here we go.
- 34:42Speaker 2: We can however, right this is However, this is unbelievable statement. Right,
- 34:49Speaker 2: we want merit we want competence. However, now you get
- 34:52Speaker 2: the reveal of what they really, really, really really care about. However,
- 34:59Speaker 2: or at the same time, we cannot allow meritocracy to
- 35:03Speaker 2: be used as a justification to open America's labor markets
- 35:07Speaker 2: to the world in the name of finding global talent
- 35:12Speaker 2: that undercuts American workers. Now that is ludicrous on so
- 35:22Speaker 2: many different levels, but on the basic level, it doesn't
- 35:25Speaker 2: undercut American workers.
- 35:27Speaker 1: It elevates American workers.
- 35:30Speaker 2: If we can bring in global talents in all realms,
- 35:33Speaker 2: then that creates more opportunities, more businesses.
- 35:37Speaker 1: It increases productivity.
- 35:39Speaker 2: We get more innovators, we got more brains, we get
- 35:42Speaker 2: more engineers, we get more people starting gardening companies, we
- 35:47Speaker 2: get more products, products get cheaper, better, wages go up
- 35:53Speaker 2: because productivity goes up. And we get a much better
- 35:58Speaker 2: culture because we're getting the best form all the cultures
- 36:02Speaker 2: who are coming here and reinvigorating American culture. So in
- 36:09Speaker 2: every regard, this is just an unbelievable statement, and it.
- 36:16Speaker 1: Shows how this is what they care about. And it
- 36:21Speaker 1: tells you that the in priorities. This is the next
- 36:24Speaker 1: section priorities, the number one priority, the first priority they
- 36:28Speaker 1: list is an end of mass immigration.
- 36:34Speaker 2: Who a country admits into its borders, in what numbers
- 36:37Speaker 2: and from where will inevitably define the future of that country. Yeah,
- 36:41Speaker 2: if you don't admit the right people, if you don't
- 36:43Speaker 2: admit enough people, if you don't admit the right people,
- 36:46Speaker 2: if you don't allow for freedom, your country is screwed.
- 36:51Speaker 2: Thought history, sovereign nations prohibited uncontrolled migration. Da da, This
- 36:55Speaker 2: is what they really care about in countries, thought history,
- 36:57Speaker 2: mass migration are strained domestic domestic resources, really increased violence
- 37:02Speaker 2: and other crimes, No evidence of that. Weaken social creation,
- 37:06Speaker 2: no evidence of that, distorted labor markets and under my
- 37:08Speaker 2: national security. Isn't an amazing amazing that the largest immigration
- 37:14Speaker 2: in human history, the largest immigration in human industry as
- 37:18Speaker 2: a percentage of the population.
- 37:21Speaker 1: The largest immigration.
- 37:22Speaker 2: In human history was immigration to the United States during
- 37:26Speaker 2: the nineteenth century, which was by every definition mass migration,
- 37:32Speaker 2: and that basically built defined what America is. What would
- 37:39Speaker 2: America be without the mass migration of the nineteenth century.
- 37:45Speaker 2: It didn't strain domestic g resources, it enhanced them and
- 37:50Speaker 2: expanded them. It didn't increase violence in other crime, well
- 37:54Speaker 2: maybe for a short time when the Italians came in
- 37:56Speaker 2: with the mafia, it decreased it over time. It didn't
- 38:00Speaker 2: weaken social creation. It actually made America America. It didn't
- 38:04Speaker 2: distort labor markets. It allowed labor markets to expand dramatically,
- 38:10Speaker 2: increased productivity and increased wages. And it certainly didn't under
- 38:14Speaker 2: my national security. It made the American country big and
- 38:18Speaker 2: strong enough to be able to take over, to take
- 38:20Speaker 2: on anybody in the world. From the founding until nineteen fourteen,
- 38:26Speaker 2: actually into nineteen twenty four America basically had an open
- 38:30Speaker 2: immigration system.
- 38:32Speaker 1: Open immigration anybody could come. Read your history, and that, not.
- 38:38Speaker 2: Accidentally, is the era in which America went from a
- 38:41Speaker 2: third grade colony to the strongest economy and strongest military
- 38:45Speaker 2: in the world. It is during the era of open
- 38:49Speaker 2: immigration that America became the strongest, that America became.
- 38:57Speaker 1: The most powerful economic power.
- 39:00Speaker 2: It is during this period where America became America.
- 39:09Speaker 1: So don't give me this throughout history. Throughout history, God, the.
- 39:15Speaker 2: American history contradicts everything they stand for and.
- 39:20Speaker 1: Everything many of you stand for. Without immigration, America would
- 39:26Speaker 1: be in a small, insignificant, struggling country. It would have had,
- 39:34Speaker 1: I mean, almost all the great entrepreneurs who built this
- 39:37Speaker 1: country were immigrants. Rockefeller, Carnegie, Melon, JP Morgan, all immigrants.
- 39:50Speaker 1: So the idea that this country would become what it
- 39:54Speaker 1: became without immigration is historically ignorant, economic, stupid, and motivated
- 40:06Speaker 1: by a xenophobic, racist ideology that wants to recast the past.
- 40:14Speaker 2: In order to justify eliminating freedom in this country today.
- 40:28Speaker 2: Second priority, after the first, protection of core rights and liberties.
- 40:31Speaker 1: Shouldn't that be first? You'd think that would be first,
- 40:35Speaker 1: You'd think, and.
- 40:36Speaker 2: Then listen to this. Regarding countries that share or say
- 40:40Speaker 2: they share these principles, principles of rights and everything, these
- 40:44Speaker 2: are the countries we're going to be mad at. The
- 40:48Speaker 2: United States will advocate strongly that they be upheld in
- 40:51Speaker 2: letter and spirit. We will oppose elite driven anti democratic
- 40:56Speaker 2: restrictions on core liberties in Europe, the Anglosphere, and the
- 41:00Speaker 2: rest of the democratic world, especially among our allies.
- 41:03Speaker 1: I mean, we don't care what the Russians is to Russia.
- 41:05Speaker 2: We don't care what what what Putin does, we don't
- 41:07Speaker 2: care what she does, we don't care what any brutal
- 41:09Speaker 2: dictator does.
- 41:10Speaker 1: Anyway, as long as Europe stays.
- 41:14Speaker 2: Consistent with these principles as understood by the crazy people
- 41:18Speaker 2: who work for Trump. We believe in burden sharing and
- 41:22Speaker 2: burden shifting. We want other countries to pay their fish
- 41:24Speaker 2: shire fine.
- 41:25Speaker 1: I have no problem with that, although again it has
- 41:30Speaker 1: a bunch of bs about trade in here. Realignment through peace. Uh,
- 41:35Speaker 1: you know, we want to seek peace. We want to
- 41:38Speaker 1: seek peace.
- 41:39Speaker 2: Yeah, even if we have to compromise and sell out
- 41:42Speaker 2: to our enemies, even if we have to sell Israel
- 41:45Speaker 2: out to Qatar, even if Takata, even if we have
- 41:49Speaker 2: to sell out Ukraine to Russia.
- 41:53Speaker 1: The main thing is peace. Economic security.
- 41:57Speaker 2: This is the This is the complete ignorance about economics, trade,
- 42:00Speaker 2: balance trade, which is meaningless. I've talked about it many, many,
- 42:05Speaker 2: many times why balance trade is not something to strife
- 42:09Speaker 2: for and not very meaningful. Securing access to critical supply
- 42:13Speaker 2: chains and materials. You can do that by deregulating environmentalism
- 42:17Speaker 2: here in the United States. Reindustrialization not exactly what the
- 42:21Speaker 2: United States is actually doing.
- 42:24Speaker 1: You don't do it by strategic use of tariffs.
- 42:27Speaker 2: Tariffs do the exact opposite. You don't do it, you know,
- 42:32Speaker 2: you don't do it by central planning.
- 42:35Speaker 1: You do it through capitalism.
- 42:37Speaker 2: You do it through freedom reviving on defense industrial base. Yeah,
- 42:43Speaker 2: I mean this is all good.
- 42:44Speaker 1: Again.
- 42:45Speaker 2: To do that, you need more freedom, more capitalism, and
- 42:48Speaker 2: you need to encourage entrepreneurship, and you need to encourage
- 42:52Speaker 2: the Defense Department to respect entrepreneurs Energy dominance again, solution
- 42:58Speaker 2: to energy dominance is unsupport freedom, preserving and growing America's
- 43:03Speaker 2: financial sector dominance.
- 43:06Speaker 1: Answer to that is freedom.
- 43:08Speaker 2: This is the only place where they say something like
- 43:11Speaker 2: preserving and growing out dominance entails leveraging our dynamic femalket system.
- 43:15Speaker 2: Now it means establishing a femalekeet system because our fem
- 43:18Speaker 2: markets we don't have free markets in finance.
- 43:23Speaker 1: We need more free markets. That's what we need, all right.
- 43:29Speaker 1: I mean, this is a section.
- 43:31Speaker 2: We're running out of time, but this is a section
- 43:32Speaker 2: where he talks about reasserting the Monroe doctrine and you know,
- 43:41Speaker 2: emphasizing emphasizing Europe. We want to enlist their help in
- 43:47Speaker 2: for migration and for cartels and for near showing manufacturing.
- 43:55Speaker 2: United States must consider our military presence in the Western hemisphere.
- 43:58Speaker 2: This is all those all those ships in the Caribbean Sea.
- 44:04Speaker 1: Blowing boats out of the water.
- 44:06Speaker 2: That's you know, American toughness on display around the world,
- 44:11Speaker 2: blowing people out of the water, killing them, killing them
- 44:14Speaker 2: with no trial, no declaration of war, nothing, just the
- 44:19Speaker 2: president's whim. We must look to expand our network in
- 44:23Speaker 2: the region, identify street each points and resources. We must
- 44:28Speaker 2: prevent others within the hemisphere other powers.
- 44:31Speaker 1: Being president of the Hemisphere, the.
- 44:34Speaker 2: United States should make clear that American goods, services, and
- 44:37Speaker 2: technologies are far better better buying a long run because
- 44:41Speaker 2: they are higher quality and do not come with the
- 44:43Speaker 2: same kind of strings as other countries' assistance. Yeah, you
- 44:46Speaker 2: make that clear by basically having free trade and letting countries,
- 44:49Speaker 2: letting companies and individuals in those countries decide who they.
- 44:53Speaker 1: Want to trade with.
- 44:57Speaker 2: Anyway, at that Asia, China got rich and powerful and
- 45:04Speaker 2: used its wealth and power to its considerable advantage.
- 45:08Speaker 1: So China, China is problematic.
- 45:13Speaker 2: But you know, the Indo Pacific is already the source
- 45:17Speaker 2: of almost half the world's GDP, but it's not a
- 45:19Speaker 2: focus right. This is second to Latin America, So which
- 45:25Speaker 2: means the Indo Pacific is already and will continue to
- 45:28Speaker 2: be among the next centuries key economic and geopolitical backgrounds,
- 45:33Speaker 2: and we need to be able to successfully compete here.
- 45:35Speaker 2: I agree completely, It's just I'm not sure these are
- 45:37Speaker 2: the strategies to do it.
- 45:39Speaker 1: Since the Chinese economy reopened in the world in nineteen
- 45:41Speaker 1: seventy nine, commercial relationships between now two countries have been
- 45:45Speaker 1: and remained fundamentally unbalanced. That's right.
- 45:48Speaker 2: We get huge benefits from China and they get just some.
- 45:55Speaker 1: I mean, this is such crap.
- 45:57Speaker 2: The reality is America benefit and has benefited enormously from
- 46:01Speaker 2: trade with China. Now, maybe one can argue we should
- 46:06Speaker 2: stop trading with them because they're hostile, okay, But the
- 46:12Speaker 2: idea that they benefited and we have not, or that
- 46:15Speaker 2: they've benefited a lot and we benefited a little, is.
- 46:18Speaker 1: Just economic ignorant and wrong. It's wrong anyway, tariff stuff.
- 46:29Speaker 2: Going forward, we will rebalance America's economic relations with China,
- 46:33Speaker 2: prioritizing re siprecocity and fairness to a stall American economic independence.
- 46:38Speaker 2: Trade with China should be balanced and focused on nonsensitive factors.
- 46:42Speaker 2: Good luck with that and balances balance and trade is
- 46:47Speaker 2: not a good thing, particularly not with any particular country,
- 46:51Speaker 2: and it cannot be achieved.
- 46:53Speaker 1: Since Trump's tariffs have come into play, we are not
- 46:57Speaker 1: more balanced we are indeed less balanced. Trade deficit is larger,
- 47:03Speaker 1: not smaller, a robust and I'm going focus on deterents
- 47:07Speaker 1: to prevent war in the Indo Pacific.
- 47:10Speaker 2: That's a good thing, and there's not enough about that
- 47:14Speaker 2: rather than this, the United States rights to protecting, defending
- 47:17Speaker 2: economy and our people from harm from other countries. There
- 47:21Speaker 2: is no there is no harm that other countries inflict
- 47:24Speaker 2: on our economy. There is no you know, they if
- 47:30Speaker 2: they subsidize industries in their own country and we can
- 47:33Speaker 2: buy the cheap stuff that benefits us, it doesn't harm us.
- 47:36Speaker 2: There are no unfair trading practices. You know, they're not
- 47:41Speaker 2: job destroying in the industrialization quite the country.
- 47:44Speaker 1: I've talked a lot about this. I'm skipping I'm skipping
- 47:47Speaker 1: all of that. You know. This is about.
- 47:51Speaker 2: Treaties and bringing India in and yeah, mostly good stuff.
- 47:57Speaker 2: And the US government critical relations with American private sector. Yeah,
- 48:04Speaker 2: the best thing the US government can do with the
- 48:05Speaker 2: private sector is leave it alone. America first, diplomacy needs
- 48:11Speaker 2: to rebalance global trade relations. No, it shouldn't. It doesn't
- 48:14Speaker 2: know how to. This is central planning, park salons. It's
- 48:18Speaker 2: exactly the opposite of what it made America successful and rich.
- 48:22Speaker 2: So stay away, don't try to guide, don't try to
- 48:25Speaker 2: shape economic issues. This is fascinating. There's a whole section
- 48:31Speaker 2: here in the Middle East. What has never mentioned Islamism?
- 48:35Speaker 1: Terrorism not a.
- 48:36Speaker 2: Wood, not a wood, Nothing about supporting terrorism, nothing about terrorism,
- 48:41Speaker 2: nothing about the risk of terrorism.
- 48:43Speaker 1: Nothing.
- 48:45Speaker 2: Indeed, a huge, you know, huge pat on the back
- 48:50Speaker 2: to golf Persian Gulf countries. They demonstrate the power appeal
- 48:56Speaker 2: of American technology. We needed, we need needed reassurance from
- 49:01Speaker 2: the Qataris and the Saudis and UEE that our.
- 49:03Speaker 1: Technology is good.
- 49:06Speaker 2: We should film coalitions that use a comparative advantage in
- 49:09Speaker 2: finance and technology to build export markets with corporating countries.
- 49:14Speaker 1: Just trade with them. What do you need to form
- 49:16Speaker 1: coalitions for? What a waste?
- 49:19Speaker 2: And again, do these countries fund Islamism? Are we giving
- 49:24Speaker 2: them weapons and technology that then they will use against us?
- 49:34Speaker 1: Here here's the one statement.
- 49:36Speaker 2: They say, the greatest advantage remains our free our system
- 49:39Speaker 2: of government and dynamic free market economy.
- 49:42Speaker 1: All true.
- 49:42Speaker 2: Yet we cannot assume that our system's advantages will prevailed
- 49:46Speaker 2: by default, and national security strategy is therefore essential. National
- 49:50Speaker 2: security strategy is essential not a national economic strategy, not
- 49:55Speaker 2: a national economic policy other than to keep our system free.
- 49:59Speaker 1: That's all you need. So nothing about Islamic terrorism, not
- 50:05Speaker 1: a word, doesn't exist anymore. It's not a threat to
- 50:07Speaker 1: the United States. The only threat is immigration and predatory trade. Trade.
- 50:13Speaker 1: Trade and immigration are threats.
- 50:15Speaker 2: Terrorism is not almost no mention of Russia, a little
- 50:19Speaker 2: bit of China, but not really as a threat. Something
- 50:25Speaker 2: about global shipping is important, and we need to detour
- 50:29Speaker 2: conflict in Taiwan.
- 50:31Speaker 1: Which is good. Let's see.
- 50:39Speaker 2: Yeah, we want Japan and South Korea to spend more
- 50:42Speaker 2: money on defense.
- 50:43Speaker 1: I agree with that.
- 50:45Speaker 2: Promoting European greatness whole section and now from policy strategy
- 50:51Speaker 2: is to.
- 50:52Speaker 1: Promote European greatness.
- 50:57Speaker 2: So we want to help them prevent their economic decline,
- 51:03Speaker 2: and we want to prevent them from undermining political liberty
- 51:07Speaker 2: and sovereignty. We definitely want to stop the mass migration
- 51:11Speaker 2: into Europe. We America, this is American farm policy. We
- 51:17Speaker 2: want to, you know, stop creating strife, and we want
- 51:20Speaker 2: to stop them from censuring free speech, which is rich
- 51:24Speaker 2: coming from Trump, one of the most censorious presidents in
- 51:28Speaker 2: American history. We're going to prevent them from suppressing political opposition.
- 51:34Speaker 2: Again rich coming from Trump who tried to overthrow an election,
- 51:41Speaker 2: creating birth rates. I hate to tell you, but the
- 51:44Speaker 2: creating in America as well, and loss of national identity
- 51:47Speaker 2: and self confidence.
- 51:48Speaker 1: It's true. You know that you know nothing about Islamia,
- 51:56Speaker 1: nothing about the Islamist threat. It's mass migration, as if
- 52:00Speaker 1: all mass migration is the same, nothing about Muslims, nothing
- 52:03Speaker 1: about Sharia, because there's nothing in the old document portraying
- 52:07Speaker 1: Islam as a problem.
- 52:10Speaker 2: Because the Kataris might greet it, and they might not
- 52:13Speaker 2: like it, and they might want they gift back, or
- 52:16Speaker 2: they might not invest in Trump towers quite as much,
- 52:19Speaker 2: or they might they might not just be happy with Trump.
- 52:22Speaker 1: You wouldn't want to upset the Kataris.
- 52:28Speaker 2: We want Europe to remain Europe, to regain a civilization
- 52:31Speaker 2: and self conference and to banits failed.
- 52:32Speaker 1: Focused and regulator sufifocation. That's good. I want them to
- 52:36Speaker 1: regain all that and to stop regulating to death. But
- 52:40Speaker 1: I don't think that's what you mean here.
- 52:44Speaker 2: It is a core interest in the United States negotiate
- 52:46Speaker 2: an expeditious cessation of hostilities in Ukraine. In other words,
- 52:50Speaker 2: it's in a core interest in the United States for
- 52:52Speaker 2: Ukraine to surrender to Russia.
- 52:55Speaker 1: We want to re establish strategic stability with Russia. Why
- 53:04Speaker 1: their trump a deeministration fight.
- 53:05Speaker 2: It suffers odds with European officials who hold unrealistic expectations
- 53:08Speaker 2: of the war, pushed in unstable minority governments, many of
- 53:12Speaker 2: which trample and basic principles of democracy to suppress opposition.
- 53:16Speaker 2: They're talking about Europe really, as compared to Russia.
- 53:21Speaker 1: A large European majority wants peace, not true. A large
- 53:25Speaker 1: European majority wants Russia to leave Ukraine. A large European
- 53:31Speaker 1: majority wants Europe to stand in America, to stand behind
- 53:36Speaker 1: Ukraine in its opposition to Russia.
- 53:40Speaker 2: Yet that desire is not translated into policy. Yeah, putsin
- 53:43Speaker 2: what's up with that? In large measures, because these governments
- 53:46Speaker 2: subverse subversion of democratic processes. This is so hostile to
- 53:53Speaker 2: Europe and so friendly to everybody else, it's unbelievable. Yet
- 54:02Speaker 2: Europe remains strategically and culturally vital to the United States.
- 54:06Speaker 1: Not only can we not afford to write Europe off.
- 54:09Speaker 2: Doing so would be self defeating for what the strategy
- 54:12Speaker 2: aims to achieve. American diplomacy should continue to stand up
- 54:15Speaker 2: for genuine democracy.
- 54:17Speaker 1: Freedom of expression.
- 54:18Speaker 2: Oh God, I wish we had freedom of expression in
- 54:20Speaker 2: America under Trump. An unapologetic celebration of America, of European nations,
- 54:25Speaker 2: individual character and history. Again the collectivism, Ah, nothing about
- 54:31Speaker 2: individual God given rights. Here, promote and revive the spirit
- 54:35Speaker 2: and growing influence of patriotic European parties. Indeed, gives cause
- 54:40Speaker 2: of great optimism here they talk about the right wing
- 54:45Speaker 2: political parties in Europe. That's what they're excited about. That's
- 54:47Speaker 2: what gives them optimism about Europe. This is about what
- 54:55Speaker 2: they're going to do to Europe and enabling them to
- 54:58Speaker 2: do this and to do that, encouraging them to do
- 55:00Speaker 2: this and that. Again Middle East Middle East partners are
- 55:03Speaker 2: demonstrating the commitment to combating radicalism, a trend line. American
- 55:07Speaker 2: policy should continued to encourage. Which kind of radicalism Islamic
- 55:12Speaker 2: something others? And by the way, is that true? Is
- 55:16Speaker 2: Kataru Kato a big friend in ally? Are they spending
- 55:20Speaker 2: less money on radicalism? Are they spending less money in
- 55:22Speaker 2: the Muslim brotherhood? Are they promoting terrorism less?
- 55:26Speaker 1: If so, I don't know that that's true.
- 55:29Speaker 2: Dropping America's misguided experiment with hectoring, hectoring these nations, especially
- 55:34Speaker 2: the Gulf monarchies, into abandoning their traditions and historic form
- 55:37Speaker 2: of government.
- 55:42Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm speechless, and how awful.
- 55:44Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, let them let them oppress their people, let
- 55:48Speaker 2: them subvert their god given, god given natural rights, equal
- 55:53Speaker 2: natural rights, you know, let them promote Islamism, let them
- 55:59Speaker 2: certa rorists.
- 56:01Speaker 1: What the hell?
- 56:03Speaker 2: Accepting the region, its leaders, and its nations as they
- 56:07Speaker 2: are while working together on areas of common interest. That
- 56:10Speaker 2: is their new Middle East strategy. Now, if you think
- 56:14Speaker 2: this is Israel friendly, then you're nuts. Israel makes no
- 56:18Speaker 2: mention here except, you know, right at the beginning, something
- 56:22Speaker 2: about American Arab Israeli and took his support something like
- 56:25Speaker 2: that to stabilize and is Tho's actions in Iran. But
- 56:31Speaker 2: this is basically all about appeasing the Muslim world, all
- 56:35Speaker 2: about appeasing the monarchies, all about appeasing.
- 56:40Speaker 1: The people who.
- 56:41Speaker 2: Funded terrorism against America. And in the long run, the
- 56:48Speaker 2: days in which Middle East dominated American fault policy is
- 56:51Speaker 2: both long term planning and day to day execution execution
- 56:54Speaker 2: are thankfully over. So all right, Well, that is the
- 57:00Speaker 2: strategic plan. It's a lot of a lot of really
- 57:13Speaker 2: really mixed ideas. A few sentences here in there, they're good,
- 57:17Speaker 2: a lot of garbage. What you'd expect out of a
- 57:22Speaker 2: national conservative kind of led administration, what you'd expect from
- 57:27Speaker 2: an administration to use everything from a collectivistic framework, what
- 57:32Speaker 2: you'd expect from people who view the biggest threats to
- 57:36Speaker 2: America being immigration and drug imputation and trade imbalance.
- 57:47Speaker 1: One day, one day.
- 57:48Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to the day where I will read
- 57:49Speaker 2: a document like this and agree with one of it.
- 57:56Speaker 2: By the way, in twenty seventeen, immigration was treated as
- 57:59Speaker 2: a security issue voted protection. In this documentary, it's being
- 58:03Speaker 2: treated as an existential threat. Generally, a big difference between
- 58:16Speaker 2: the twenty seventeen document and this one.
- 58:20Speaker 1: Laura Luma is really upset.
- 58:23Speaker 2: According she got the document, she read the whole thing,
- 58:25Speaker 2: She did keyword search, and she says, according to the
- 58:28Speaker 2: keywords search I conducted, there was zero mention of the
- 58:31Speaker 2: woods he had.
- 58:31Speaker 1: There was zero mention of the wood Islamic.
- 58:33Speaker 2: There is zero mention of the wood islam There's only
- 58:36Speaker 2: one mention of Islamic terry activity. Not here in the
- 58:40Speaker 2: homeland of the United States sol but in Africa there
- 58:43Speaker 2: is zero mention of the CCP, the Communist Chinese Communist Party.
- 58:48Speaker 2: There was zero mention of the Wood Communist or communism.
- 58:52Speaker 2: How is this possible, Well, it's possible because Trump is
- 58:58Speaker 2: the end and there's an anti ideology, completely anti ideology,
- 59:05Speaker 2: and he's not going to identify communism as a problem
- 59:08Speaker 2: because that would identify in antiology and is against identifying
- 59:11Speaker 2: ideologies as bad. More than anything, this is a document
- 59:18Speaker 2: that basically said America is going to expend a lot
- 59:20Speaker 2: of energy on trying to reshape Europe and trying to
- 59:24Speaker 2: make Europe like American conservatives would like America to be,
- 59:27Speaker 2: or like Europe to be.
- 59:29Speaker 1: This is a continuation of the JD.
- 59:31Speaker 2: Van's speech at the Munich was a security conference from
- 59:35Speaker 2: earlier this year where he berated the Europeans about issues
- 59:39Speaker 2: like free speech.
- 59:41Speaker 1: Now, I'm all for.
- 59:44Speaker 2: Berating Europeans and moving them towards greater freedom, but that's
- 59:48Speaker 2: not what they're doing. They're moving them to grow to
- 59:50Speaker 2: greater nationalism, towards more Christianity, towards more of this reactionary
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: ideology that the modern conservatives adhere to.
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: All Right, let's quickly on the pipe bomb. I don't
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: have a lot to say about this, but they arrested
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: the guy who put out the pipe bombs the day
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: before January sixth, pipe bombs that are ultimately disarmed. And
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: for years, the writer has.
- 1:00:21Speaker 2: Been full on conspiracy theory about this, you know, conspiracies
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: that it was an inside job, that the pipe bombs
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: were done by the Metro Police or by the FBI,
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: that it's part of the big inside job that is
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: January sixth. I mean, full of conspiracy theories around the
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: pipe bombs that you know, and around January sixth, that's
- 1:00:45Speaker 2: all inside jobs. So Hannity had deputy fi Deputy Director
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: Dan Bungino on, and Dan Bungeno, of course when he
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: was a talk show host from talk show hosts, a
- 1:01:00Speaker 2: deputy FBI director, that's quite that's quite a promotion. Anyway,
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: he was one of the biggest promoters of these conspiracy
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: theories that it was all basically inside.
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: Job, the pipe bumps. Well, now, when asked about this,
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: this is what Bengino responded, This is your deputy FBI director.
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: I was paid in the past, Sean for my opinions.
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: That's clear. One day I will be back in that space.
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: But that's not what I'm paid for now. I'm paid
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: to be your deputy director and we base investigations on facts.
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: That is just a perfect statement.
- 1:01:46Speaker 2: In other words, when I was a pundit and had
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: my own TV show or podcast or whatever, I didn't
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: have to base what I said on facts.
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: I just spouted opinions that were facts that had nothing
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: to do with facts, a truth or anything like that,
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: just whatever came to my mind. What the hell?
- 1:02:07Speaker 2: Now then I have to be a FBI. I have
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: to base everything on facts. Now I have to be serious.
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: Now I seek the truth.
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, that just made me laugh.
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: I think that's one of the most hysterical things I've
- 1:02:24Speaker 2: seen in a while. But yeah, all right, all right,
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: let's get back to serious stuff. Let's talk about the Eurovision.
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: And I was also going to talk about Israel, but
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: really out of time, so I'll do a separate segment
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: another time about why America is to support as well.
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: I want to do a self contained video on that.
- 1:02:50Speaker 2: There seems to be a lot of interest in this
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: and I will talk about that. But anyway, the Eurovision
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: is a singing competition in Europe and countries compete.
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: Each country sends a singer to represent their country and
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: they sing, and then there used to be just a
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: panel of judges, a judge from each country, and they
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: would vote on who the winner was.
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: And now they have simultaneous judging where people in each country, not.
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: Just judges, people in each country can also vote on
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: which song wins.
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: And this is a competition and it's big in Europe.
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: I mean, European countries take this seriously and they all
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: watch and it's a big deal. Israel has participated in
- 1:03:35Speaker 2: the Eurovision at least since the early seventies. I remember
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: as a kid watching the Eurovision. I remember when Abba Abba,
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: Well maybe in the mid seventies Israel joined, but I
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: remember when Aba one, you know, the group Abba from
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: Sweden won the Eurovision.
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: And as well as one.
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: The competition a couple of times, maybe more, but at
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: least a couple of times. Well, this year the Eurovision
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: is being hosted in I believe, Austria, and there has
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: been an upproll about whether Israel should be allowed to
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: participate because Israel, of course is a para state. It is,
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: you know, it is a genocidal state that has just
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: committed war crimes in Gaza and if we should not
- 1:04:26Speaker 2: be allowed to participate.
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: In this competition.
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: And the consequence, So there's a big crisis, you know. Basically,
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: basically Austria said, oh, no, Israel's participating. We're a host
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: and Israel's definitely invited and they will participate. However, four
- 1:04:57Speaker 2: countries have decided they will guess they are going to
- 1:05:00Speaker 2: skip the Eurovision this year, and this is a big
- 1:05:01Speaker 2: deal in these countries because Israel is there. They will
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: not be one of these countries. Is surprising to me
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: that others maybe not Ireland, that's not surprising. Very anti Israel,
- 1:05:15Speaker 2: very very anti Israel in Ireland, Spain, this government is
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: very anti Israel. I don't think the Spanish people are,
- 1:05:20Speaker 2: but this goverment is Slovenia, don't know exactly.
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: And the Netherlands.
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: I thought the Netherlands had a relatively right wing government,
- 1:05:29Speaker 2: but this is maybe decided by not the government itself.
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: Those countries.
- 1:05:36Speaker 2: Are not going to be in the Eurovision because of
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: because of Israel, right, I mean, this is a disgrace,
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: It is absurd. The idea that Israel committed genocide is
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: science fiction and bad science. Fiction at that it is
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: a negation of facts and reality. Idea that Israel is
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: somehow the bad guys in the conflict in Gaza is
- 1:06:04Speaker 2: again bizarre and factually completely incorrect.
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: The bad guys in Gaza.
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: Are Ramas and all those Palestinians, sadly a large number
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: of them, maybe even a majority of them, who support Ramas.
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: They are the bad guys. They're the ones who made
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: this war inevitable. They're the ones who started to one
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: October seventh. They're the ones that use children as human shields.
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: They're the ones who dug tunnels and use hospitals as headquarters.
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: They're the ones who refused to.
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: Surrender even though it was clear that they lost and
- 1:06:46Speaker 2: the only thing that they were doing was getting civilians killed.
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: They're the ones who refused to release hostages until a
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: bunch of people had to die. They're the ones who
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: slaughtered hostages, little children, babies. The Hamas and their supporters,
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: a big chunk of the Palestinian people are monsters, and
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: Israel somehow is to blame here. Israel.
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: Somebody says, the Knackba made this way inevitable. Yeah, and
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: the Knakba is the Palestinian's fault. Absolutely. They shouldn't have
- 1:07:32Speaker 2: started a war with Israel. They should have accepted the
- 1:07:35Speaker 2: Palestinian state. They should have tried to kill Jews wherever
- 1:07:39Speaker 2: they could. They shouldn't have, you know, run away thinking
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: they were going to win the war and come back.
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: Yeah, when you lose the war, you lose the war.
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: Their consequences.
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: The Knackba was a consequence of Palestinian actions, and if
- 1:08:01Speaker 2: you don't know that.
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: History, then you shouldn't spout opinions about it. So the
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: bad guys share the Palestinians, not these Raeliers share these
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: other good guys.
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: Israel is a free country, as free as any European country.
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: Israel treats it's citizens equally, including the two million Arabs
- 1:08:23Speaker 2: who live in Israel equal rights. Israel is a country
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: that should be a model for Europe and the rest
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: of the world of governance.
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: Oh, I mean.
- 1:08:41Speaker 2: Not perfect, fall and perfect, far far from perfect, but
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: as compared to these other countries, pretty good. But the
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: lies about Israel, I mean, what these countries are doing
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: is basically embracing another blood libel among the many blood
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: libels of the last two thousand years. The Jews kill Jesus,
- 1:09:07Speaker 2: they drink babies blood, you know, they kill Christians, they
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: poison Christian wells to infect them with the plague. They
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: kill Palestinian babies just for fun. Same blood libel. It's
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: the same hatred of Jews. It's the same anti Semitism,
- 1:09:30Speaker 2: motivated maybe by different different fears and different aspects, but
- 1:09:35Speaker 2: it's the same thing. It's disgusting, it's despicable. These European
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: countries and the people that represent them should be ashamed
- 1:09:42Speaker 2: of themselves, all right. What's funny, by the way, is
- 1:09:53Speaker 2: while these countries are accusing Israel of all this stuff,
- 1:09:55Speaker 2: and while the European countries are not going are not
- 1:09:58Speaker 2: allowing Israel to come and compete with the in the Eurovision,
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: and even some countries like Germany stopped selling weapons to
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: Israel guesses buying Israeli weapons systems.
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: Europeans.
- 1:10:11Speaker 2: There was just like a fair in Israel weapons affair,
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: and European countries sent delegations, including countries that hate Israel
- 1:10:20Speaker 2: like Norway, in Germany and the UK, and half of
- 1:10:25Speaker 2: NATO members came there to inspect Israeli systems. The Germans
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: have just announced that they are the first country in
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: the world to deploy outside of Israel, to deploy the
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: AR three anti aircraft missiles in Germany. It's a three
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: billion dollar export deal. So it's his four billion dollar
- 1:10:48Speaker 2: export deal. So yeah, Israel is out is selling its
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: anti missile technology to Europeans who hate on it. It's something, Yes,
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: Europe needs to be reformed, not by Trump though.
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: All right, let's.
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: See that is the news for this December fifth, Friday,

- 1:14:50Speaker 2: All right, let's start with fifty dollars. Questions Andrew, The
- 1:14:55Speaker 2: Judo Christian premise of focusing on the meek over the
- 1:15:00Speaker 2: wrong is a highly irrational premise. Rand once says something
- 1:15:04Speaker 2: to the fact of, I'd like to hear less about
- 1:15:07Speaker 2: the incompetent, disabled, and poor, and more about the strong.
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: Successful, and able.
- 1:15:12Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know that I would call it a
- 1:15:14Speaker 2: Judo Christian premise, And Judaism doesn't have much about focusing
- 1:15:18Speaker 2: on the meek.
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: It really is a Christian thing.
- 1:15:21Speaker 2: Judaism is much more disworldly and less altruistic, less explicitly
- 1:15:25Speaker 2: altruistic than Christianity is.
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: But yes, why is the focus on that.
- 1:15:31Speaker 2: The people who move civilization forward, the people who make
- 1:15:34Speaker 2: our lives better, the people who push us.
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: To greater wealth and greater spiritual.
- 1:15:43Speaker 2: You know, progress, are the achievers, the competents, the strong,
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: the able, strong, intellectual.
- 1:15:50Speaker 1: They're the ones who move us forward. So why are
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: we so obsessed with the meek. Why is every time
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: the question is, but what about the poor? And why?
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: If I say why do you care? People get offended?
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: Why do you care? I mean people should answer that question.
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: People should think about it. What is it about the
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: poor makes you care? It's disabilities that are elevated? What
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: about superior abilities? Extraordinary abilities? Shouldn't they be what we
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: really focus on?
- 1:16:27Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's a difference between alturistic culture and
- 1:16:30Speaker 2: an egoistic culture. An egoistic culture, I would focus on
- 1:16:32Speaker 2: what's important to me. What's important to me is the
- 1:16:34Speaker 2: people who benefit my life the most, the able, the successful,
- 1:16:40Speaker 2: the wealth creators, the knowledge creators. Rational IP says excited
- 1:16:47Speaker 2: about Netflix acquiring Warner Brothers, including its film or television
- 1:16:51Speaker 2: studios HBO, Max and HBO. Let's wait and see if
- 1:16:56Speaker 2: the regulators like this mega deal as well as a
- 1:16:59Speaker 2: film and IP enthusiast, I'm very happy. The portfolio is massive.
- 1:17:03Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it is really interesting. I thought, wasn't
- 1:17:09Speaker 1: this in play where.
- 1:17:11Speaker 2: What's his name Ellison's company was going to buy this
- 1:17:14Speaker 2: and one and and I guess Netflix has stepped in
- 1:17:17Speaker 2: and made a big, a higher offer. I think this
- 1:17:22Speaker 2: is the same thing Ellison is very connected within.
- 1:17:25Speaker 1: The Trumpet administration.
- 1:17:26Speaker 2: So let's hope somebody doesn't kill this for political reasons.
- 1:17:31Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean I think I'm out for it.
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: I mean a lot of these mergers fail usually. Usually
- 1:17:38Speaker 2: generally mergers are big companies are now usually don't succeed.
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: Usually the over ambitious and.
- 1:17:47Speaker 2: The Sydney seas are not really there, and the corporate
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: cultures clash and and both companies deteriorates. I'm not a
- 1:17:54Speaker 2: huge fan of mergers, not because of anti trust reasons,
- 1:17:57Speaker 2: but because it's very hard to make emerges succeed. But
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: maybe this one will work. Maybe this one I should,
- 1:18:04Speaker 2: you know, should be excited about. Maybe it'll enhance the
- 1:18:08Speaker 2: good stuff on Netflix. Netflix has some good stuff, but
- 1:18:11Speaker 2: it could it could use more good contact. I mean,
- 1:18:14Speaker 2: if everything HBO has would be on Netflix, that would
- 1:18:18Speaker 2: be a huge advantage for Netflix, a huge up. Now,
- 1:18:22Speaker 2: what the business model is exactly how they want to
- 1:18:25Speaker 2: make that happen? Can they make new good original content
- 1:18:29Speaker 2: owned by Netflix?
- 1:18:31Speaker 1: I don't know. We will have to see, Michael.
- 1:18:35Speaker 2: What Trump is doing with these drug boats is extra
- 1:18:40Speaker 2: judicial extra judicial chillings i e.
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: Murder killings, i E. Murder.
- 1:18:47Speaker 2: He ordered the US military kill the survivors in the water.
- 1:18:51Speaker 2: This is the kind of war crime that we rightly
- 1:18:55Speaker 2: tried German officers for. Yeah, I mean, I think it's
- 1:18:58Speaker 2: just terrific. But it's not even I mean, I think
- 1:19:01Speaker 2: the whole thing is a war crime. The second bombing,
- 1:19:04Speaker 2: why is that worse than the first bombing?
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: Right? The first bombing.
- 1:19:09Speaker 2: I mean, if they really wanted to stop the vote,
- 1:19:12Speaker 2: they could have sent a US Coast Guard ship to
- 1:19:15Speaker 2: stop the boat, search it if there was drugs, arrest
- 1:19:18Speaker 2: the people and.
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: Put them on trial.
- 1:19:23Speaker 2: The idea that the only way to stop these votes
- 1:19:25Speaker 2: and the only way to deal with this is to
- 1:19:27Speaker 2: kill them without trial, without evidence, without anything, is just insane.
- 1:19:34Speaker 2: It's truly it's truly murdered, and Congress has not authorized us.
- 1:19:44Speaker 2: It's unconstitutional, it's illegal, it's horrific, and again nobody cares.
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: Ron.
- 1:19:54Speaker 2: I've always wondered why so called conservatives that are about
- 1:19:58Speaker 2: freedom on money, etc. Are so anti freedom on personal rights,
- 1:20:03Speaker 2: being so often against gay rights, right or abortion.
- 1:20:07Speaker 1: It's only consistent and irrational.
- 1:20:09Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I ran commented in this years and
- 1:20:12Speaker 2: years ago, and she basically said, look, the left Marxists
- 1:20:16Speaker 2: on materialists. So materialists care about the physical world, and
- 1:20:21Speaker 2: they don't care about the spiritual world. They don't care
- 1:20:23Speaker 2: about the personal world, they don't care about social issues.
- 1:20:28Speaker 2: So they want to control and regulate the material world
- 1:20:32Speaker 2: because that's what they care about, and they leave it
- 1:20:35Speaker 2: up to people to do whatever the hell they want
- 1:20:36Speaker 2: in their personal and in their social lives because they
- 1:20:39Speaker 2: don't care about that. Conservatives, she said, they think they're religious,
- 1:20:45Speaker 2: so they fundamentally think the material world is unimportant, insignificant,
- 1:20:50Speaker 2: who cares, so they leave that to be free. But
- 1:20:55Speaker 2: the spiritual world, the personal world, that is the most
- 1:20:58Speaker 2: important thing that day fore must be controlled. So each
- 1:21:03Speaker 2: side controls that which they think is most important.
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: Now the way the left and the right, though have evolved,
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: is now now.
- 1:21:20Speaker 2: Both sides view both the material and the spiritual world
- 1:21:23Speaker 2: is important. Both sides left and right want to regulate both.
- 1:21:28Speaker 2: And that's where we are now. So the right has
- 1:21:30Speaker 2: given up also on the economic freedom Stephen, today, I
- 1:21:35Speaker 2: was able to do my first supersticker and chat in
- 1:21:39Speaker 2: a month on this site on any side. The previous
- 1:21:42Speaker 2: month I was only able to do them intermittently. That's weird.
- 1:21:47Speaker 2: So I've missed a lot of income from Stephen. That's
- 1:21:50Speaker 2: weird that YouTube would do that. I have no idea
- 1:21:53Speaker 2: what's going on. Charlsbad says, thank you for the show.
- 1:21:56Speaker 2: I wish to express to you my most enthusiastic congratch
- 1:22:01Speaker 2: contra fibulatarities. Whatever that means. I have no idea. I'll
- 1:22:07Speaker 2: take it as congrat whatever. Thank you, chus really appreciated.
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: Andrew.
- 1:22:11Speaker 2: What do you think about the five hour meeting between Whitcoff,
- 1:22:14Speaker 2: Krishna and Putin in his age? They trapsed around Moscow
- 1:22:18Speaker 2: again doey eyed, and then at the end the Russians said,
- 1:22:23Speaker 2: there was no agreement in Ukraine.
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: Please analyze.
- 1:22:25Speaker 2: Yeah, I did analyze that the day of the day
- 1:22:28Speaker 2: after that was happening, and yeah, and I talked about
- 1:22:31Speaker 2: the fact Putin gave them a long speech, a long
- 1:22:35Speaker 2: history lesson about you know, battles in the past, all
- 1:22:41Speaker 2: with an effort to delegitimize the very idea of a
- 1:22:44Speaker 2: Ukrainian state. You know, basically, all Putin is doing is
- 1:22:51Speaker 2: playing with Trump. He's playing with him, He's basically making
- 1:22:55Speaker 2: fun of him. He dangles this idea, Oh maybe there's
- 1:22:59Speaker 2: time compromising He doesn't, and puts In has no interesting compromise.
- 1:23:04Speaker 2: Here's no interest in ending the war unless it's full
- 1:23:07Speaker 2: surrender of Ukraine. And he knows that the more he
- 1:23:15Speaker 2: plays Trump, the less Trump will support Ukraine, the less
- 1:23:18Speaker 2: Trump will supply weapons to Ukraine, and the stronger Russia
- 1:23:23Speaker 2: is on the battlefield because Ukraine doesn't have the best
- 1:23:26Speaker 2: weapons systems that it could have to actually defeat the Russians.
- 1:23:29Speaker 2: So it's it's completely it completely makes sense. And again
- 1:23:35Speaker 2: it's it was a long meeting because because Putin kept lecturing.
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: Them on Russian history and about.
- 1:23:41Speaker 2: How, by the way, the same things supposed he happened
- 1:23:43Speaker 2: in Alaska that Putin brought up big thick folder with
- 1:23:48Speaker 2: all of his historical claims and all of his historical
- 1:23:50Speaker 2: stories to share with Trump, and Trump lost patience with it.
- 1:23:53Speaker 1: Trump doesn't have a fight, doesn't can't be, you know.
- 1:23:57Speaker 2: Patient for five hours, and he lost patience with Putin
- 1:24:00Speaker 2: trying to give him a history lesson. It's what Putin
- 1:24:04Speaker 2: did to Tucker Carlson in that famous interview, Catherine, do
- 1:24:09Speaker 2: you think the current US administration will ever fully stop
- 1:24:12Speaker 2: Europeans from buying US weapons for Ukraine?
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 1:24:18Speaker 2: It's possible that they would, but I don't know, not yet,
- 1:24:21Speaker 2: but it is possible at some point Trump could just
- 1:24:25Speaker 2: get fit up and walk away and not sell weapons.
- 1:24:30Speaker 2: They is all hopefully will step in and start selling weapons.
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: That would be cool, Thomas, Now is the golden age
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: of air travel. Yes, it is.
- 1:24:41Speaker 2: In spite of all the complaints about terrible service. Airlines
- 1:24:44Speaker 2: offer product low cost flights, no fills that Americans have
- 1:24:50Speaker 2: chosen with their spending habits over and over. Absolutely, absolutely,
- 1:24:55Speaker 2: I mean, air travel is the best that it's ever been.
- 1:24:58Speaker 1: You can fly anyway.
- 1:25:00Speaker 2: You can fly cheaply, or if you don't want those
- 1:25:03Speaker 2: cramp seats.
- 1:25:04Speaker 1: If you don't want those.
- 1:25:05Speaker 2: Cheap you can buy business class and it's quite comfortable,
- 1:25:09Speaker 2: and you can fly anywhere in business class, and you
- 1:25:11Speaker 2: fly across the pond to Europe, you know, with life
- 1:25:16Speaker 2: flat seats, you can fly to Asia, you can fly
- 1:25:19Speaker 2: anywhere in the world.
- 1:25:20Speaker 1: It's just it's the golden age of flight.
- 1:25:22Speaker 2: Absolutely, in spite of Matt Walsh's I don't know what
- 1:25:26Speaker 2: to call it, stupidity is too generous seventeen seventy six,
- 1:25:33Speaker 2: Yesterday said race is not a social construct you're anti science.
- 1:25:37Speaker 2: You can have a DNA test to get your race.
- 1:25:40Speaker 2: Different races have different average IQs and so on.
- 1:25:44Speaker 1: Bullshit. You can do a DNA test that will give.
- 1:25:47Speaker 2: You your ancestry. It will not give you your quote race.
- 1:25:52Speaker 2: I don't know what that is. No DNA test will
- 1:25:54Speaker 2: tell you you're white. There's no whiteness in a test.
- 1:25:58Speaker 2: I'll tell you what your pig is based on their DNA,
- 1:26:01Speaker 2: but it won't tell you belong.
- 1:26:02Speaker 1: To white race. Who cares what different races do.
- 1:26:10Speaker 2: What matters is your IQ And the fact is that
- 1:26:14Speaker 2: there lots and lots and lots of white people with very,
- 1:26:17Speaker 2: very very low IQ, and most of those are what
- 1:26:21Speaker 2: you call race realists. So no, what matters is individual
- 1:26:27Speaker 2: like Q, individual ability, individual traits, individual free will, individual ambition,
- 1:26:33Speaker 2: individual success. Race matters nothing. There is no science to race,
- 1:26:42Speaker 2: and indeed most of us are MutS. Ginghis Khan. Ginghis Khan,
- 1:26:49Speaker 2: who is Mongolian like, has his genes in like what, I.
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: Don't know, ten percent of the world's population. He rapes
- 1:26:58Speaker 1: so many women. When he took Hans, the Hans again,
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: another Asian.
- 1:27:05Speaker 2: Nomad tribe, conquered vast parts of Europe and raped many
- 1:27:12Speaker 2: women there and haunted Genes from Asia all over Europe.
- 1:27:18Speaker 2: Gens from Africa are all over Spain. Arab Jans from
- 1:27:24Speaker 2: North Africa all over Europe, not because of recent migration,
- 1:27:29Speaker 2: because of the past.
- 1:27:31Speaker 1: And Northern Africans are actually German, have lots of German Jens.
- 1:27:39Speaker 2: Because there was Barbaric tribes conquered North Africa in something
- 1:27:45Speaker 2: like for something ad and settled there and stayed there.
- 1:27:52Speaker 2: And nomadic tribes have moved and changed, and immigration is constant, constant,
- 1:28:01Speaker 2: And there's no such thing as genetic purity. And how
- 1:28:07Speaker 2: many hundred thousands, how many thousands of years do you
- 1:28:09Speaker 2: want to go back? There are a few isolated tribes
- 1:28:14Speaker 2: here and there in the world that have some genetic purity.
- 1:28:17Speaker 2: The rest of you, almost all of you are mutts.
- 1:28:23Speaker 2: So no race is a completely social construct. It is
- 1:28:28Speaker 2: created in order to make some races some individuals based
- 1:28:33Speaker 2: on insignificant characteristic side They call their skin.
- 1:28:37Speaker 1: Subservient to others. And by the way, it's only low.
- 1:28:41Speaker 2: IQ people who evaluate other people zy Q based on
- 1:28:45Speaker 2: their race. I've never asked anybody what their IQ is.
- 1:28:49Speaker 2: I don't care about anybody's IQ. The ignorance and just
- 1:28:58Speaker 2: you know, it's unbelievable. Then in the twenty first century,
- 1:29:01Speaker 2: we have gone backwards, backwards, away from science, away from reason,
- 1:29:07Speaker 2: away from rationality. In our analysis, I've done many DNA tests.
- 1:29:13Speaker 2: I do a DNA test every single year, including twenty
- 1:29:19Speaker 2: three and meters which I've done. DNA tests are wonderful.
- 1:29:23Speaker 2: They tell you what diseases you're susceptible to. They tell
- 1:29:27Speaker 2: you what you're inclined you know, certain sensitivities to drugs
- 1:29:33Speaker 2: and certain sensitivities to particular medical treatments.
- 1:29:40Speaker 1: Absolutely, Jewish is a social construct. It's a social construct
- 1:29:45Speaker 1: created by some Jews and by many anti Semites. Am
- 1:29:51Speaker 1: I Jewish? No, I'm not. Why because I've chosen to
- 1:29:57Speaker 1: be me, I'm not Jewish.
- 1:29:59Speaker 2: I'm only Jewish when creeps anti Semitic bastards like you
- 1:30:07Speaker 2: express anti Semitic of ideas. But I would consider myself Jewish.
- 1:30:13Speaker 1: I'm Iron Brook. Yeah.
- 1:30:18Speaker 2: Your ancestry came back ninety nine percent Kanazi Jews. Yeah,
- 1:30:21Speaker 2: you have a long line of people who call themselves
- 1:30:23Speaker 2: Jews going back generations.
- 1:30:26Speaker 1: Is that a race? It's meaningless? And those are Kanazi Jews.
- 1:30:30Speaker 1: Where did they come from Middle East, are not Europeans me.
- 1:30:39Speaker 1: I'm an American, I was born in Israel. I'm an atheist.
- 1:30:46Speaker 1: I'm not Jewish, I'm not.
- 1:30:47Speaker 2: Of any ethnic group. I don't believe in ethnicity. I
- 1:30:51Speaker 2: don't believe in race. Am I white? Can I be
- 1:30:54Speaker 2: white and Jewish and an atheist? You know, and reject
- 1:30:59Speaker 2: my judaism? You know, how does that all that work?
- 1:31:03Speaker 2: You guys are medievalists. You know this is this is,
- 1:31:09Speaker 2: this mentality of collectivism and tribalism and racism is so
- 1:31:15Speaker 2: primitive and barbaric.
- 1:31:16Speaker 1: It makes me angry because.
- 1:31:20Speaker 2: It should have disappeared from the face of the earth
- 1:31:22Speaker 2: decades ago. And you people are bringing up one of
- 1:31:26Speaker 2: the most horrific primitive ideologies of all of human existence.
- 1:31:37Speaker 1: Jacob.
- 1:31:38Speaker 2: If a vaccine could say forty thousand lives, would it
- 1:31:41Speaker 2: not be made mandatory? If weymos could, if weimos could
- 1:31:45Speaker 2: say forty thousand lives, would human driving not be outlawed restricted? No,
- 1:31:49Speaker 2: because the vaccine wouldn't be made mandatory. Vaccine should not
- 1:31:54Speaker 2: be made mandatory. No vaccine should be mandatory. Now you
- 1:31:58Speaker 2: can a school could say you can't come to the
- 1:32:01Speaker 2: school unless you're vaccinated, but that's private property. A park
- 1:32:07Speaker 2: can say you can play in this park if it's
- 1:32:09Speaker 2: a private punk unless you're vaccinated. There are a lot
- 1:32:12Speaker 2: of places where you can do that. But the government
- 1:32:15Speaker 2: has no role in telling people. They in forcing people
- 1:32:20Speaker 2: to be vaccinated, and they have no role in telling
- 1:32:22Speaker 2: people they have to drive in Weymos. Andrew, this isn't
- 1:32:29Speaker 2: an essential value of YBS to me. But if I
- 1:32:32Speaker 2: ever feel like getting pissed off, I listen to a
- 1:32:35Speaker 2: YBS show. There's nothing wrong with getting pissed off sometimes.
- 1:32:40Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm glad it's not the essential value. Thank you,
- 1:32:47Speaker 1: Andrew Jacob.
- 1:32:48Speaker 2: How much of this is Trump's actual opinions versus jade
- 1:32:51Speaker 2: Van's part of the party. If the right gets smoked
- 1:32:55Speaker 2: at the midterms, any chances for change, No, I don't
- 1:32:58Speaker 2: think you'll see a change.
- 1:32:59Speaker 1: I think it's a mixture of the JD events. I
- 1:33:01Speaker 1: think is mainly JD events.
- 1:33:03Speaker 2: It's mainly the national Christian Conservatives waded down a little bit,
- 1:33:08Speaker 2: so less Christianity, more nationalism, and with a lot of
- 1:33:13Speaker 2: kind of I don't know if they agree with Trump
- 1:33:15Speaker 2: on trade really, but so a lot of Trump stuff
- 1:33:22Speaker 2: Trump red meat, like immigration and trade.
- 1:33:24Speaker 1: Now JD.
- 1:33:24Speaker 2: Events might agree with all that, I'm just not sure
- 1:33:26Speaker 2: he does. Andrew strikes me as a good and properly
- 1:33:34Speaker 2: selfish modern generalization when people, including many entrepreneurs, say how
- 1:33:40Speaker 2: they allocate their time is the essential value to them. Yeah,
- 1:33:45Speaker 2: I mean how you allocate your time, what you choose
- 1:33:47Speaker 2: to do with your time, what values you choose to pursue.
- 1:33:52Speaker 2: That's a big part of what it means to allocate
- 1:33:53Speaker 2: your time is an essential characteristic, essential part of being
- 1:33:59Speaker 2: self interested, being an egoist. All right, we are fifty
- 1:34:16Speaker 2: five dollars short of our targets.
- 1:34:18Speaker 1: If anybody wants to help out, stickers welcome Ron.
- 1:34:23Speaker 2: Do you know of any objectivist organization in France where
- 1:34:26Speaker 2: I live?
- 1:34:27Speaker 1: I do love it here, though of.
- 1:34:29Speaker 2: Course not a fan of the economic policies. I've been
- 1:34:33Speaker 2: able to find everything in anything in my searches.
- 1:34:36Speaker 1: No, there really isn't.
- 1:34:38Speaker 2: I mean, there's some libertarians, and there's the guy who
- 1:34:41Speaker 2: translated I ran into French, who I've met a couple
- 1:34:44Speaker 2: of times. But no, there really has never been significant
- 1:34:49Speaker 2: interest in France for objectivism. Sadly, Lincoln, thank you, Lincoln, Lincoln.
- 1:34:58Speaker 2: I hope You're not overstretching yourself. You're doing a lot
- 1:35:01Speaker 2: of super chests lately and stickers, and I know you're
- 1:35:04Speaker 2: getting you know you got a go friend, and you're
- 1:35:06Speaker 2: a student. Don't overstretch yourself. As much as I want
- 1:35:09Speaker 2: your money, don't overstretch Andrew is the connection of rationality
- 1:35:14Speaker 2: to goodness primarily a discovery of Rands or Aristotle? Do
- 1:35:19Speaker 2: you consider the one of the key integrations made in
- 1:35:22Speaker 2: intellectual history. Yes, it's one of the key integrations. It's
- 1:35:26Speaker 2: really iran. Aristotle views rationality is important, and he identifies
- 1:35:33Speaker 2: it as the identifying feature of man, which is crucially important.
- 1:35:40Speaker 2: But then integrating that with morality, integrating that with values
- 1:35:48Speaker 2: and virtues, that I think is an ironmand accomplishment. So
- 1:35:52Speaker 2: I don't think there's anyone in Aristotle where he sees
- 1:35:57Speaker 2: being rational is a virtual though he doesn't believe study
- 1:36:00Speaker 2: and learning is a huge virtue, the primary virtue, but
- 1:36:06Speaker 2: not rationality in terms of using reason to live your
- 1:36:11Speaker 2: life in every aspect of it, as being the primary virtue,
- 1:36:18Speaker 2: the integrating virtue. I think that's Einman's great achievement. And yes,
- 1:36:23Speaker 2: it's one of the great integrations made in intellectual history,
- 1:36:28Speaker 2: and it builds an Aristotle, so it's a two person achievement. Lincoln,
- 1:36:33Speaker 2: just send my application to a Rise Intellectual Incubator program,
- 1:36:36Speaker 2: looking forward to improving my.
- 1:36:38Speaker 1: Skills and objectivism. Excellent. That's really good. I look forward
- 1:36:44Speaker 1: to seeing you there. Fend Harper shout out to a friend.
- 1:36:47Speaker 2: Of mine who just got married to someone they met
- 1:36:50Speaker 2: at okon twenty twenty four. Another reason to come to
- 1:36:53Speaker 2: okon two great objectivists pursuing their happiness. Excellent and one
- 1:36:57Speaker 2: of the best ways to pursue happiness marriage. Lincoln talked,
- 1:37:03Speaker 2: I guess this is a two part question. Talk to
- 1:37:05Speaker 2: the school's PP and E department about having you speak
- 1:37:08Speaker 2: on campus anytime after five works, and we should schedule
- 1:37:13Speaker 2: it for before after a Peterson Academy course taping, as
- 1:37:17Speaker 2: the university is about a two hour drive from Phoenix
- 1:37:21Speaker 2: and not quite big enough for a separate trip.
- 1:37:25Speaker 1: Yeah, that sounds great. I don't know if Peterson is
- 1:37:29Speaker 1: going to have me back this coming. Yeah, I haven't
- 1:37:31Speaker 1: heard from them. As soon as I hear from them
- 1:37:33Speaker 1: and schedule anything with them, I will let you know
- 1:37:37Speaker 1: and we'll schedule that. Really appreciate you doing that and
- 1:37:41Speaker 1: I'm happy that they're willing to host me like numbers.
- 1:37:46Speaker 2: Is the more benevolent nature as society is more benevolence
- 1:37:52Speaker 2: natural as society gets richer, No, I don't think so.
- 1:37:56Speaker 2: I mean you're seeing the opposite today in America, we're
- 1:37:59Speaker 2: getting richer.
- 1:38:00Speaker 1: And we're less benevolent.
- 1:38:01Speaker 2: We're getting more pessimistic and more angry and more unfriendly.
- 1:38:05Speaker 1: Towards other people.
- 1:38:07Speaker 2: I think as a society gets freer, more free, it
- 1:38:12Speaker 2: begets more benevolent. Benevolence is a feature of freedom, not
- 1:38:17Speaker 2: of wealth in and of itself. Andrew, are the ethics
- 1:38:23Speaker 2: Are the ethics underlying Marxism Christian Yes? Essentially the ethics
- 1:38:27Speaker 2: of Marxism is sacrifice. It's the idea of sacrificing the
- 1:38:34Speaker 2: individual to the collective, to the group. That is an idea,
- 1:38:38Speaker 2: this idea of sacrifice that is inherent in Christianity, where
- 1:38:42Speaker 2: the whole idea is you sacrifice the individual to God,
- 1:38:44Speaker 2: or to the group, or to the poor. But it's
- 1:38:49Speaker 2: essentially about sacrificing.
- 1:38:50Speaker 1: The individual, and that is the essential part of the morality.
- 1:38:55Speaker 1: You also get you get your moral virtues, you get
- 1:38:58Speaker 1: your commandments.
- 1:39:00Speaker 2: An authority, the authority is the dictators of the politarian,
- 1:39:03Speaker 2: or the authority is God or spokesman on earth. But
- 1:39:06Speaker 2: it's an authority, so many many similarities between and that'll
- 1:39:10Speaker 2: be a part of the book we write, is to
- 1:39:13Speaker 2: show how Marxism was a secularization of Christianity, even the
- 1:39:18Speaker 2: sense in which you'll get your awards in and afterlife
- 1:39:20Speaker 2: in Christianity. In Marxism you'll get your rewards in some
- 1:39:25Speaker 2: fictitious utopia that comes sometime in the future that you
- 1:39:29Speaker 2: might not might not live to see, probably not, But
- 1:39:33Speaker 2: it's in another dimension in sense, and otherworldly in that sense.
- 1:39:37Speaker 2: Jacob Thoughts on call sheet and polymarket monetizing almost everything,
- 1:39:43Speaker 2: thoughts on the culture that spends billions on betting markets
- 1:39:46Speaker 2: like slot machines.
- 1:39:48Speaker 1: Look.
- 1:39:48Speaker 2: I think overall it's it provides a valuable information.
- 1:39:55Speaker 1: People like to bet on stuff.
- 1:39:58Speaker 2: I don't think there's an anything necessarily bad about that.
- 1:40:02Speaker 2: It's a way to express your opinion. And here when
- 1:40:06Speaker 2: it's it's not random, right, so the outcomes in our
- 1:40:09Speaker 2: random knowledge actually pays off. If you know more about politics,
- 1:40:14Speaker 2: then you can predict elections, you'll do better.
- 1:40:16Speaker 1: Than somebody who doesn't know anything. So rewards knowledge I'm
- 1:40:19Speaker 1: all for betting markets or any kind of markets that
- 1:40:22Speaker 1: reward knowledge, so I'm not against this. I think it's
- 1:40:25Speaker 1: a positive move.
- 1:40:31Speaker 2: And Mel taking this opportunity to support the show and
- 1:40:34Speaker 2: say that as a Spaniard living in Ireland, I find
- 1:40:38Speaker 2: the Eurovision thing pathetic but sadly not surprising.
- 1:40:41Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty sad. Thank you and Mel, I appreciate it.
- 1:40:52Speaker 1: What is going on here?
- 1:40:55Speaker 2: Anyway? I have to get you a little hot water.
- 1:41:06Speaker 2: This is Andrew in a little hot worded. Do you
- 1:41:08Speaker 2: think anyone who thinks IQ is an important element of
- 1:41:12Speaker 2: life understands objectivism?
- 1:41:16Speaker 1: I mean it depends what people mean by IQ.
- 1:41:18Speaker 2: I mean, if you mean by IQ inherited intelligence, that
- 1:41:22Speaker 2: is a certain level of intelligence that is inherited. There's
- 1:41:24Speaker 2: no question that we do inherent different levels of firepower,
- 1:41:30Speaker 2: right potential, and that you know that matters. I don't
- 1:41:37Speaker 2: think it's an important element, but it's there. How you
- 1:41:42Speaker 2: use it, what you do with it, how you initiated,
- 1:41:46Speaker 2: how you deploy this potential, that's what matters. That's the
- 1:41:52Speaker 2: important element.
- 1:41:52Speaker 1: So to say it's an important element of life, I
- 1:41:56Speaker 1: think you don't understand objectivism why it could be an
- 1:41:59Speaker 1: element of life?
- 1:42:00Speaker 2: But to give it importance. That is taking the potential
- 1:42:06Speaker 2: and giving it way too.
- 1:42:07Speaker 1: Much importance than it should.
- 1:42:15Speaker 2: Lincoln, there is a company called Nucleus Bioscience focused on
- 1:42:21Speaker 2: advancing IVF treatment to identify genetic diseases before having kids,
- 1:42:26Speaker 2: which is great. Yeah, I mean it's already being done,
- 1:42:29Speaker 2: and I think it's fantastic.
- 1:42:31Speaker 1: I think it really is fantastic. Lincoln says, last big
- 1:42:35Speaker 1: super Chat for a.
- 1:42:36Speaker 2: While, cutting back in the coming months. Got to save
- 1:42:39Speaker 2: up for that engagement ring. Don't tell my girlfriend. I
- 1:42:42Speaker 2: promise I'm not going to say anything. Hopefully she doesn't
- 1:42:44Speaker 2: listen to the show. Andrew fifteen dollars short of our goal, guys,
- 1:42:49Speaker 2: fifteen one five. Somebody trade be nice to end on
- 1:42:57Speaker 2: a bang. Right, Andrew says, what do you think of
- 1:43:03Speaker 2: this formulation? Aristotle central principles of epistemology led to the
- 1:43:08Speaker 2: first time to the premise of the primacy of reality
- 1:43:11Speaker 2: over consciousness.
- 1:43:15Speaker 1: I don't know, it might be the other way round. Right,
- 1:43:20Speaker 1: Andrew did do his Andrew did do his part today,
- 1:43:23Speaker 1: So I'm you know, hmm.
- 1:43:30Speaker 2: Lincoln is all tapped out and the racists are not
- 1:43:35Speaker 2: going to put anything in. They just want to harass
- 1:43:37Speaker 2: me on just want to continue with their pseudo science harassment.
- 1:43:41Speaker 2: All right, we got five dollars from Jacob, so we've
- 1:43:45Speaker 2: chipped a waste and I was only ten dollars.
- 1:43:48Speaker 1: What do I think?
- 1:43:49Speaker 2: I'm not sure that formulation is right right, So it's
- 1:43:52Speaker 2: not clear what comes first. In a sense, the metaphysics
- 1:43:55Speaker 2: might come first. It might be that the principle of
- 1:43:59Speaker 2: reality of consciousness is what leads Aristotle to an epistemology,
- 1:44:07Speaker 2: to pistemology, to a reason based a pistemology. They probably
- 1:44:15Speaker 2: go together and certainly reinforce each other hierodically. Metaphysics come first.
- 1:44:21Speaker 2: Doesn't mean it's the way it's lunched, but it's it's
- 1:44:24Speaker 2: it's higher key comes first. All right, guys, there it
- 1:44:31Speaker 2: is Thomas. Youbottom just did ten dollars. And he says,
- 1:44:35Speaker 2: but what about the poor?
- 1:44:37Speaker 1: Why do you care? Thomas? Why do you care? Yes?
- 1:44:44Speaker 1: What about the poor?
- 1:44:45Speaker 2: The poor do well if they're egoistic. Linn Corda says, goal.
- 1:44:55Speaker 2: By the way, Adultry three by Quinn is now available
- 1:44:58Speaker 2: on Amy.
- 1:44:59Speaker 1: I think I down loaded it on my kindle.
- 1:45:04Speaker 2: I think I downloaded on a kindle because that's how
- 1:45:06Speaker 2: I probably read it right. I'll probably read all three
- 1:45:08Speaker 2: on the kindle, even though I've got hot copies of
- 1:45:10Speaker 2: the first two, so you don't actually is it an
- 1:45:14Speaker 2: available on audio, because if it's available on audio, I'll
- 1:45:17Speaker 2: probably just listened to them all.
- 1:45:21Speaker 1: Ron came in with ten dollars. Thank you guys. Okay,
- 1:45:23Speaker 1: now we've exceeded I'll target, so thank you everybody.
- 1:45:29Speaker 2: All right, tomorrow there will be a show. I don't
- 1:45:33Speaker 2: know the topic. It will either be something on something
- 1:45:38Speaker 2: on the crisis of meaning or something on capitalism, to
- 1:45:44Speaker 2: be determined tomorrow. See all tomorrow.
- 1:45:49Speaker 1: By everybody, have a great, great, great weekend. By
