- 0:29Speaker 1: a Thursday? It's a Thursday. Everybody's having a u A
- 0:35Speaker 1: great uh a great week. Sorry, there was a screenshot
- 0:40Speaker 1: of Tucker Colson there for a moment. We will get
- 0:42Speaker 1: back to Tucker in a minute, so you're gonna have
- 0:45Speaker 1: to you have to watch a little bit of Tucker
- 0:47Speaker 1: today for the show. All right, let's see what is happening.
- 0:52Speaker 1: As you know, I am in Barcelona, Spain, in this office.
- 0:56Speaker 1: I'll be here for the next month or so, although
- 0:58Speaker 1: in between I'll be in Israel for a few days.
- 1:01Speaker 1: We'll see if I can do shows in Israel. We'll
- 1:04Speaker 1: try to do something. But for now we're here in Barcelona.
- 1:09Speaker 1: I'll be trying to do shows most days. There'll be
- 1:12Speaker 1: days where I take off and it is eight pm
- 1:17Speaker 1: over here, so it is late. This is why it's
- 1:19Speaker 1: a little early for the regular round book show time frame.
- 1:25Speaker 1: All right, let's I guess let's just jump into the news.
- 1:28Speaker 1: I mean, I have to say that the first story
- 1:31Speaker 1: in the New shar Is is fairly I mean, it's
- 1:34Speaker 1: fairly serious and entertaining at the same time. It's really
- 1:39Speaker 1: funny actually. So it turns out that when Trump was
- 1:43Speaker 1: coming back from the NATO summit in Turkey, was it
- 1:48Speaker 1: a month ago, the Secret Service out wind of a
- 1:51Speaker 1: plan to kill Trump, indeed by taking Air Force one down.
- 1:59Speaker 1: The The plot was supposedly be a plot by Iran
- 2:06Speaker 1: that involved that a vote shooting down a FUS one.
- 2:12Speaker 1: Now we'll see that this information came from Israeli supposed
- 2:16Speaker 1: to be right now, they're saying from Israeli intelligence sources,
- 2:21Speaker 1: and we'll get to that in a minute. But yes,
- 2:24Speaker 1: Israel is being blamed for this whole fiasco. Anyway, they decided,
- 2:32Speaker 1: they decided they would engage in some clever misdirection. So
- 2:38Speaker 1: Trump boarded the FUS one as usual, right in the
- 2:42Speaker 1: seven forty seven, not the new one that Kata the
- 2:47Speaker 1: guitar had given the President. We've already discussed on the
- 2:50Speaker 1: show previously that that one is not secure enough, not
- 2:55Speaker 1: ready for you know, for showtime yet. So he didn't
- 3:03Speaker 1: actually board the the the new for was one. He
- 3:10Speaker 1: boarded the original, the normal Air Force one, and he
- 3:16Speaker 1: did so in four view of cameras and then everybody
- 3:19Speaker 1: shut the windows. And it turns out that Trump climbed
- 3:25Speaker 1: into one of the large containers that deliver food to
- 3:30Speaker 1: an airplane's gallery, you know, those truck things. And it
- 3:36Speaker 1: turns out that it wasn't just him. Two of his aides,
- 3:40Speaker 1: three of his aides, three of his age were shuffled
- 3:43Speaker 1: into that same you know, cateringe container, and the carting
- 3:50Speaker 1: container was was taken off the airplane, off the airplane
- 3:56Speaker 1: and trucked over to a smaller C thirty two aircraft
- 4:01Speaker 1: where Trump exited the container boarded the plane. Now this story, oh,
- 4:07Speaker 1: comes from the Washington Post. It's the story is retold
- 4:12Speaker 1: by the Atlantic, which I'm looking at right now. Anyway,
- 4:16Speaker 1: that C two A and the seven four seven, which
- 4:21Speaker 1: was you know, which was assumed to be the plane
- 4:24Speaker 1: that was going to be shot down, then both flew
- 4:27Speaker 1: to the United Kingdom, with the seven four seven continuing
- 4:32Speaker 1: the rules by identifying itself as Air Force one. Trump
- 4:37Speaker 1: got off the smaller plane in Britain, he snuck back
- 4:40Speaker 1: on the seven four seven, exited the seven four seven,
- 4:49Speaker 1: and got on his new Air Force one two point
- 4:53Speaker 1: zero that the Katari government had given him. So just
- 4:59Speaker 1: and he You can see that there's actually a photo
- 5:02Speaker 1: of Trump in the creating cart peeking out of the
- 5:06Speaker 1: catering cart in what is an unbelievably embarrassing photograph, and
- 5:14Speaker 1: I'm sure a photograph that has made Trump very very unhappy.
- 5:22Speaker 1: I don't think he likes. He likes stuff like that
- 5:25Speaker 1: when it happens to him. Now, as I said, he
- 5:29Speaker 1: wasn't alone in the food cart. He was also there
- 5:32Speaker 1: with Dan Scavino, his former caddy. This is just funny
- 5:39Speaker 1: on its own right, his former caddy and wal Nota,
- 5:44Speaker 1: his former butler, both of whom are now White House aids.
- 5:50Speaker 1: And he chose these dude to save and with Natalie Harps,
- 5:54Speaker 1: a executive assistant. Meanwhile, on the seventh four seven, there
- 5:59Speaker 1: were being threatened to be shut down. You had military officers,
- 6:05Speaker 1: enlisted staff, and several American civilians including the press and
- 6:12Speaker 1: Marco Rubio, who was deemed expendable, I guess, and Tersury
- 6:18Speaker 1: Secretary Scott Bessett all on the seven four seven, which
- 6:23Speaker 1: you know the threat was was going to be maybe
- 6:26Speaker 1: shut down with Trump on the c thirty two A
- 6:31Speaker 1: was Pete hexseth Uh, Secretary of War War you know
- 6:37Speaker 1: of War and several other white out aids. I guess
- 6:43Speaker 1: was on the deco, on the on the deco flights
- 6:47Speaker 1: Stephen Miller, got Stephen Miller, Stephen Chung and others. Uh yeah,
- 6:55Speaker 1: So I get that you don't want the president to
- 7:01Speaker 1: be in a plane. If the plane is being threatened,
- 7:05Speaker 1: then why is the plane taking off? If the plane's
- 7:09Speaker 1: really being threatened, if the threat is significant, why are
- 7:13Speaker 1: you placing all those lives under threat, I mean not insignificant,
- 7:19Speaker 1: people like Secretary of State and the Secretary of the
- 7:22Speaker 1: Treasury and maybe some important generals. What exactly is going
- 7:30Speaker 1: on here? Why all these deceptions? Why decoys? I mean,
- 7:36Speaker 1: it really makes America look pathetic. It makes the Trump
- 7:40Speaker 1: administration look weak and pathetic. How did they decide who
- 7:49Speaker 1: goes on the one plane and who goes on the other,
- 7:51Speaker 1: Whose life's expendable and who's not. It's you know, it's
- 8:00Speaker 1: possible to seecret service acted out of a superabundance of caution,
- 8:05Speaker 1: But I still don't understand why there was one had
- 8:08Speaker 1: to take off. They could have gotten the president out
- 8:11Speaker 1: of there without ever putting him on if it was one,
- 8:16Speaker 1: and then dealt with the threat and then it's just absurd.
- 8:25Speaker 1: And of course, you know, the way the food truck
- 8:30Speaker 1: escapade unfolded, including who Trump chose to take it, who
- 8:35Speaker 1: he chose not to take, also reveals a lot about
- 8:37Speaker 1: the president's own priorities and why didn't Trump take the
- 8:43Speaker 1: press into his confidence even if he couldn't take them
- 8:46Speaker 1: all on the safer plane? Now he hates the media,
- 8:51Speaker 1: so maybe that's why. Maybe he was hoping that the
- 8:53Speaker 1: plane would be shot down. Imagine what would have happened
- 8:57Speaker 1: if the seventh or seven actually being shot down. Now,
- 9:00Speaker 1: let me let me say something. I assume if it's
- 9:03Speaker 1: one has the most advanced anti aircraft electronics and decoys
- 9:13Speaker 1: in the world. I know, a lot of all flights
- 9:18Speaker 1: have anti uh you know, uh, ground to air missile protections,
- 9:23Speaker 1: So I'm assuming if it's one. So even if if
- 9:26Speaker 1: somebody shot at it, the LIKELIHO of the do actually
- 9:29Speaker 1: be taken down I think is small, right, I mean, uh,
- 9:34Speaker 1: Israel and the United States are pretty sophisticated anti ground
- 9:39Speaker 1: to air missile tech. So what would have happened though
- 9:44Speaker 1: if the planet being shot down? And you know, yeah,
- 9:54Speaker 1: the whole thing is just bizarre, right, And of course,
- 9:59Speaker 1: all this was kept hidden and broken by the Washington
- 10:02Speaker 1: Post investigative reporting. I mean, yeah, the whole thing is
- 10:10Speaker 1: bizarre and funny. And guess what, the Iranians I think
- 10:14Speaker 1: it's a blast. I mean, the Ranians think this is
- 10:18Speaker 1: like the funniest thing ever. This is from This is
- 10:22Speaker 1: from Iranian media. Right again, Trump with his new scandal
- 10:29Speaker 1: has become the top subject of US media these days,
- 10:33Speaker 1: a scandal stemming from fear of Iran's military power power
- 10:39Speaker 1: that caused Trump last month, while returning from Turkey, to
- 10:43Speaker 1: secretly switch his plane. They obviously added that the whole
- 10:50Speaker 1: episode is a source of humiliation for Trump. So yes,
- 10:57Speaker 1: I mean, the Ranians are making hey of this. The
- 11:01Speaker 1: fish of course not commenting on the allegation that they
- 11:05Speaker 1: were threatening Trump. They've tried to fascinate Trump in the past,
- 11:09Speaker 1: so it wouldn't be surprising at all. Yeah, I mean
- 11:21Speaker 1: extreme lead everyone. The new one. The son has pledged
- 11:25Speaker 1: vengeance for the death of his father. Uh, and so
- 11:30Speaker 1: the idea that they want to kill Trump is completely valid.
- 11:36Speaker 1: But the whole way in which they did this is
- 11:40Speaker 1: just bizarre. It's it's it's completely bizarre, but you know
- 11:47Speaker 1: it is it is Trump after all. Now here's the thing.
- 11:55Speaker 1: It turns out, I mean again, according to Washington Post
- 11:59Speaker 1: that the intelligence about the Uranian plot to shoot down
- 12:03Speaker 1: the seven forty seven was provided by Israelian intelligence. But
- 12:11Speaker 1: it turns out, according to the Post, at least the
- 12:14Speaker 1: CIA had very low confidence in this intelligence. Indeed, supposedly
- 12:20Speaker 1: the CIA and many people within administration are now saying
- 12:24Speaker 1: that this was probably fake intelligence on the part of
- 12:29Speaker 1: the Israelis in order for Trump to turn against the Uranians.
- 12:38Speaker 1: So the idea was Israel is feeding Trump the idea
- 12:43Speaker 1: that Iran is trying to kill him in an attempt
- 12:47Speaker 1: to get Trump to get tough on Iran. So, as
- 12:52Speaker 1: if you need more fuel for the various anti Semites
- 12:56Speaker 1: out there, now we have a conspiracy theory of the
- 13:00Speaker 1: Israeli government trying to convince Trump is going to be
- 13:02Speaker 1: assassinated in order to get Trump to support Israel in
- 13:06Speaker 1: its efforts to attack Iran or something crazy like that.
- 13:11Speaker 1: Now I don't know what the intelligence was, I don't
- 13:13Speaker 1: know how valid is you know who knows, But I
- 13:18Speaker 1: doubt that Israel's exaggerating the threat to Trump in order
- 13:21Speaker 1: to try to manipulate him into attacking Iran, partially because
- 13:25Speaker 1: by this point they should know they can't count on
- 13:28Speaker 1: Trump doing anything of value vis a vis the Ranian threat.
- 13:36Speaker 1: Supposely though, just as an aside, because we might hear
- 13:40Speaker 1: more about it in the next few days. Israel is
- 13:42Speaker 1: on high alert because Trump might attack your on any
- 13:47Speaker 1: day now, an massive attack on Iran. So you know, again,
- 13:51Speaker 1: who knows if that's Israel trying to manipulate the Trump
- 13:54Speaker 1: administration by Oh, yeah, we expect Trump to be tough
- 13:58Speaker 1: and we expect an attack any day now. So we're
- 14:01Speaker 1: putting ourselves on a lood. Oh whether it's real, you know,
- 14:06Speaker 1: is this more you know, trying to psychologically manipulate trumpunoss Now,
- 14:15Speaker 1: what is clear is that the seven four seven eight
- 14:19Speaker 1: gifted by Kata has insufficient security measures to transport the
- 14:25Speaker 1: presidents in a potentially hostile environment. It does not have
- 14:31Speaker 1: what it takes, so you know, he that plane was
- 14:37Speaker 1: never considered right. So there were three planes involved, the
- 14:45Speaker 1: Katari seven for seven that basically transported the president from
- 14:50Speaker 1: London to Washington, d C. The original air for S
- 14:53Speaker 1: one which transported which was the decoy pretended to transport
- 14:58Speaker 1: the president from Key to London and the plane that
- 15:03Speaker 1: actually transported him to London, the Air Force C thirty
- 15:06Speaker 1: two A.
- 15:08Speaker 2: So anyway, there you have it, a funny, weird, strange.
- 15:19Speaker 1: I mean, the photo of Trump, the photo Trump in
- 15:22Speaker 1: the in the Katie think, I don't know if this
- 15:24Speaker 1: is maybe this is AI. But it is all over
- 15:27Speaker 1: the web. It's all over the place, you know, Trump
- 15:31Speaker 1: looking you know, from inside the cart between the food packages.
- 15:35Speaker 1: It looks like it's AI actually, but it's spreading all
- 15:40Speaker 1: over the place. It's it's become a meme. Uh. And
- 15:43Speaker 1: again the Runyan's lapping this up. They love it. They
- 15:49Speaker 1: love it.
- 15:51Speaker 3: All right, let's see, yeah, all right, and everything sound
- 16:00Speaker 3: is good and picture is good, and you know it
- 16:03Speaker 3: looks it seems like I am I'm actually.
- 16:09Speaker 1: I'm actually figured out all these things, all the stuff.
- 16:14Speaker 1: Don't forget to like the show, like the show. Press
- 16:17Speaker 1: that like button before you leave, I know something you
- 16:19Speaker 1: can leave before they end personal like button now, So
- 16:22Speaker 1: you don't forget, of course, only if you like the show.
- 16:25Speaker 1: Don't forget to use super chat to ask me questions,
- 16:27Speaker 1: and that thereby shape the show. You know, I'll talk
- 16:30Speaker 1: about what you want me to talk about. Versus what
- 16:32Speaker 1: I chosen to talk about. And yeah, don't forget to
- 16:37Speaker 1: make a comment in the chat or just act do something,
- 16:40Speaker 1: because the more actions you take, the more like shares, contributions, chats,
- 16:46Speaker 1: comments and stuff like that, the more the algorithm likes
- 16:49Speaker 1: the show and presents it. Oh A quick item that
- 16:56Speaker 1: struck me as really bizarre. Right, We've talked about this before,
- 17:02Speaker 1: but I just want to keep reminding you of the
- 17:05Speaker 1: of this fact. Kata. We talked about Kata, one of
- 17:09Speaker 1: Donaldson's favorite countries in the world and one that he
- 17:13Speaker 1: seems to have an enormous respect for its leaders. Is
- 17:18Speaker 1: Katta is a small authoritarian Islamic dictatorship with three hundred
- 17:29Speaker 1: and thirty thousand citizens. It's about the third the sires
- 17:34Speaker 1: of New Jersey. It's actually smaller than Israel, which is
- 17:38Speaker 1: about the size of New Jersey. It turns out that
- 17:42Speaker 1: the Katari people three hundred and thirty thousand citizens, who
- 17:45Speaker 1: are quite wealthy because or at least the authoritarian in
- 17:49Speaker 1: charge is very wealthy because of natural gas and oil revenue,
- 17:55Speaker 1: so they have they have a lot of money to spend.
- 17:58Speaker 1: It turns out that you know, they really really really care.
- 18:02Speaker 1: I mean they really have a deep concern about higher
- 18:05Speaker 1: education in the United States. They because I mean you
- 18:12Speaker 1: can see this, they invest heavily, heavily in American liberal
- 18:17Speaker 1: arts and stand educations. Indeed, KATA is the largest foreign
- 18:23Speaker 1: donor to US colleges and universities. I think it's the
- 18:25Speaker 1: largest donor outside of the US government to American colleges
- 18:30Speaker 1: and universities. They contributed over six and a half billion billion,
- 18:35Speaker 1: not million billion to American higher education. I mean it's
- 18:45Speaker 1: they're bigger than any other country that invests in American
- 18:49Speaker 1: higher education. Now a bunch of other countries do, which
- 18:52Speaker 1: is kind of surprising. I mean, the rest of the
- 18:55Speaker 1: world really wants to make sure that the United States
- 19:00Speaker 1: it has the best higher education in the world. I mean,
- 19:03Speaker 1: China and Hong Kong invests five point six billion dollars
- 19:07Speaker 1: in American higher education. Germany, now you know, England four
- 19:15Speaker 1: point one, Canada three point seven, Saudi Arabia three point seven,
- 19:19Speaker 1: another Islamist country very dedicated to the values of the
- 19:25Speaker 1: humanities in the United States, Japan, Switzerland, France, Bermuda, Bermuda
- 19:30Speaker 1: one point seven billion. Now Bermuda, that's not really Bermuda,
- 19:35Speaker 1: that's the life insurance companies in Bermuda investing, but KATA
- 19:40Speaker 1: six point three billion. Now, what do you think they're
- 19:44Speaker 1: trying to do? Is it just a love of America
- 19:48Speaker 1: that is driving them or is there something else that
- 19:53Speaker 1: is that is driving this? Does it buy them influence? Maybe?
- 19:57Speaker 1: Does it shape what is being taught in Midi studies
- 20:02Speaker 1: programs and maybe some other programs, there is shape at all.
- 20:06Speaker 1: You think the anti Israel and anti Semitic attitudes of
- 20:11Speaker 1: so many in American higher education, the fact that they're
- 20:15Speaker 1: getting six point three billion dollars from the Kataris, and
- 20:21Speaker 1: people are worried about APEX, people are worried about the
- 20:24Speaker 1: Jews influence on American government higher education, and the rest
- 20:32Speaker 1: I start worrying about the Kataris in the Saudis and
- 20:35Speaker 1: what exactly they're doing, why they're investing so much. Again,
- 20:39Speaker 1: KATA is compared, let's say, to China or to even
- 20:42Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia. KATA only has three hundred and thirty thousand people,
- 20:46Speaker 1: and those three hundred thirty thousand people are making contributions
- 20:51Speaker 1: the size of six pointy six billion dollars to American universities.
- 20:55Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense it really doesn't. All right,
- 21:07Speaker 1: let's let's do this. I was actually was supposed to
- 21:13Speaker 1: do this before Kata, but let's do it now. Uh,
- 21:18Speaker 1: we want to watch a few ups. That's weird, all right.
- 21:24Speaker 1: I want to show you a couple of segments. Actually
- 21:27Speaker 1: we're gonna start with this other one. A couple of
- 21:29Speaker 1: segments of Tucker Cawson. Now, uh, you know, I'm not
- 21:33Speaker 1: just doing this to be cool to you. But here's
- 21:37Speaker 1: the thing. Tucker Cosson has taken on Ben Shapiro, and
- 21:42Speaker 1: we've talked about the fact that Tucker Cosson has political ambitions.
- 21:45Speaker 1: Whether he runs for president or backs JD. Vance for president,
- 21:51Speaker 1: Tucker cousin is going to have significant influence. Now, his
- 21:54Speaker 1: influence seems to be declining based on views on YouTube,
- 21:57Speaker 1: but it's still in the millions. Here's one of the
- 22:00Speaker 1: most influential pundits out there in America. He is trying
- 22:07Speaker 1: to become the spokesman for MAGA and the guy who
- 22:13Speaker 1: basically determines the political fate of the Public Republican Party
- 22:17Speaker 1: in the future. Again, whether he runs, as we've discussed,
- 22:21Speaker 1: or whether JD. Vance runs and he supports him, Tucker's
- 22:27Speaker 1: going to have a big role. And you know, I
- 22:31Speaker 1: don't have a lot of influence out there in the world,
- 22:33Speaker 1: but they literally influence I have. I wanted to least
- 22:37Speaker 1: dedicate some of it to doing everything I can to
- 22:43Speaker 1: disparage Tucker Couson. I mean, he is the worst of
- 22:47Speaker 1: the worst out there. He is the equivalent Hassan Pika
- 22:51Speaker 1: of the left. He is anti capitalist, anti American, you know,
- 22:56Speaker 1: and he's just a bold face liar. And Tucker's not
- 23:02Speaker 1: stupid so these allies. He's pro Russia, he's po Qatar.
- 23:09Speaker 1: He probably gets a lot of money from Katcha, and
- 23:12Speaker 1: he made twenty million dollars last year off of his
- 23:16Speaker 1: YouTube channel and his podcast, which kind of ticks me
- 23:19Speaker 1: off because I don't make it any quick close to that.
- 23:23Speaker 1: So we're gonna spend time over the next I don't
- 23:28Speaker 1: know how often, but next while talking about Tecker Carson, right,
- 23:37Speaker 1: because he's a big deal. It's a big deal. This
- 23:44Speaker 1: particular video on X has been watched by one hundred
- 23:46Speaker 1: and sixteen thousand people, But of course that's just an ax.
- 23:50Speaker 1: It's on YouTube, it's a number of different platforms. It's
- 23:53Speaker 1: been watched by millions of people. Now Takya Corson has
- 23:57Speaker 1: dedicated his last show basically going after Ben Shapiro. This
- 24:04Speaker 1: is an hour and twenty minutes of a ruthless attack
- 24:09Speaker 1: on Shapiro. Because there are two options in terms of
- 24:14Speaker 1: the direction that you know, MAGA or the Republican Party
- 24:19Speaker 1: takes the Tucker calls in direction of anti Semitism and
- 24:23Speaker 1: anti Israel and anti Ukraine, pro Russia, of anti Americanism
- 24:30Speaker 1: and anti capitalism. And of course let's not forget the demons,
- 24:35Speaker 1: the demons, the scratch Tucker and might attack you any
- 24:39Speaker 1: day now, any moment now, you might be attacked by
- 24:42Speaker 1: those demons. Or you know, a vision of Ben Shapiro,
- 24:47Speaker 1: which I don't think is I don't think it's a
- 24:50Speaker 1: good vision, but significantly better than Tucker's. A vision that
- 24:55Speaker 1: at least gives f lip service to being po capitalism,
- 24:57Speaker 1: and I think I think Ben really does understand capitalism.
- 25:01Speaker 1: A vision that is pro Israel and pro Ukraine inters
- 25:05Speaker 1: the phign policy, a vision that I think is ultimately
- 25:10Speaker 1: I think Ben Shapea' is pro American. I think Trucker
- 25:13Speaker 1: Colson is a hate of America. Tucker's also you know,
- 25:19Speaker 1: a conspiracy theorists and up the boy Zoo, and Ben
- 25:24Speaker 1: Shapiro is not for the most part. Now, of course,
- 25:27Speaker 1: Ben Shabea buys into the biggest conspiracy theory in all
- 25:30Speaker 1: of human history, i e. Religion, But so Doukasson. Although
- 25:37Speaker 1: Ben Shapiro seems a little sane when it comes to religion,
- 25:41Speaker 1: he doesn't at least claim to being attacked by demons,
- 25:44Speaker 1: at least not recently. So Ben Shapa's Night and Day
- 25:49Speaker 1: much much, much better than Tucker Coulson. If elections between
- 25:53Speaker 1: Tucker Coulson and Ben Shapiro, I would vote for Ben Shapiro.
- 25:57Speaker 1: And you know, if Benchara was running for it, I
- 26:00Speaker 1: might vote for Ben Shapiro. I would never ever ever
- 26:05Speaker 1: vote for Taco Causon because Ben Shapa is bad, but
- 26:10Speaker 1: bad in kind of normal conservative ways and uh and
- 26:14Speaker 1: just again, in completely different ways than Tucker Cosson. Tucker
- 26:18Speaker 1: Cosson is just the worst. So let's look at the
- 26:23Speaker 1: tack on Ben Shapiro and evaluate it in terms of
- 26:26Speaker 1: it's in you know, conhuence and intelligence, but also in
- 26:30Speaker 1: terms of the extent to which Techo Cossen is lying.
- 26:32Speaker 1: But more importantly, I want you to notice something in
- 26:35Speaker 1: Tacho Cosson does throughout this, and of course this is
- 26:38Speaker 1: what Teker Cossum does. There is a subtext across the
- 26:43Speaker 1: entire thing of a conspiracy. Somebody, you know, Ben Shapiro
- 26:50Speaker 1: is not alone in this. He is an agent of
- 26:54Speaker 1: somebody else. Somebody might not be mentioned Israel, maybe the Jews,
- 27:01Speaker 1: maybe subtainly Israel, but there's an undertone of conspirasey. And
- 27:09Speaker 1: this is what so good at and this is what
- 27:12Speaker 1: I think attracts so many people to him, and this
- 27:15Speaker 1: is what makes him so evil and dangerous. So let's
- 27:19Speaker 1: stop by watching this show segment. Then we'll move to
- 27:22Speaker 1: slightly long go on.
- 27:24Speaker 4: So maybe the last thing they need is to be
- 27:26Speaker 4: lectured by people who are clearly the beneficiaries of unearned privilege,
- 27:31Speaker 4: like Ben Shapiro some of them.
- 27:33Speaker 1: So let's just give you context him. So this is
- 27:36Speaker 1: about the twenty dollars burrito. So I don't know, I
- 27:39Speaker 1: didn't cover it in my show about the twenty dollars burrito,
- 27:43Speaker 1: you know, so kids not kids, I mean gen z
- 27:47Speaker 1: Is I guess on the right have been complaining about
- 27:52Speaker 1: twenty dollar burritos and the cost of living and they
- 27:56Speaker 1: can't afford a house and they can't afford to live.
- 27:59Speaker 1: They can't afford to know it's twenty bucks. And Ben
- 28:03Speaker 1: Shapiro who went on and said, twenty dollars burrito, Really,
- 28:06Speaker 1: Britas don't really cost twenty dollars. And you guys are
- 28:11Speaker 1: making more income and have more wealth at your age
- 28:14Speaker 1: than any previous generation anyway, I mean, Mitchard were basically said,
- 28:19Speaker 1: you guys are overblowing this. Stop it. You know, they're
- 28:21Speaker 1: hysteria about the evil of America. America's not doing this bad.
- 28:26Speaker 1: America's doing quite well. I mean, I don't think it's
- 28:30Speaker 1: doing that well, but it's doing quite well. It's not
- 28:33Speaker 1: doing as badly as the left, fall left and fall
- 28:37Speaker 1: right would like to suggest. We're all about to starve
- 28:40Speaker 1: and we can't afford the twenty dollars burrito. And it's
- 28:42Speaker 1: only a few people, the billionaires and trillion is that
- 28:45Speaker 1: are making they have a lot of money, and the
- 28:47Speaker 1: rest of us just being whited out. By the way,
- 28:51Speaker 1: a burrito at I think it's Chipotle who has burritos,
- 28:54Speaker 1: with Chipolto has burritos. A burrito at Chipoltar costs less
- 29:05Speaker 1: inflation adjusted or amount of work needed to buy it.
- 29:10Speaker 1: Basis than it did twenty years ago. But if you
- 29:15Speaker 1: want a super duper incredible burrito with lobster, and I'm
- 29:22Speaker 1: sure if you added truffles it would be even more. Yes,
- 29:25Speaker 1: it costs twenty dollars at a fancy pants burrito store.
- 29:31Speaker 1: But that's the thing. House prices skyrocketing. Yeah, houses double
- 29:37Speaker 1: the triple the size of what your parents and grandparents bought.
- 29:41Speaker 1: So yes, it's more expensive, But on a pass square
- 29:44Speaker 1: foot basis, is it that much more expensive? Not so much.
- 29:49Speaker 1: But you see, these are the kind of things nobody
- 29:51Speaker 1: wants to hear. They're complaining, they're bitching and complaining, and
- 29:55Speaker 1: they really feel the pain they cost up living is high.
- 29:57Speaker 1: They can't afford anything. They really really suffering. And you
- 30:02Speaker 1: tell them, no, you're the richest generation ever. They're not interested.
- 30:05Speaker 1: You tell them, oh, the house price is high because
- 30:08Speaker 1: you know, if you wanted a fifteen hundred square foot place,
- 30:11Speaker 1: you could afford it. Yeah, if you want the four
- 30:14Speaker 1: thousand square foot place, maybe, yeah, that's expensive, But your
- 30:18Speaker 1: parents and grandparents didn't have the four thousand square foot place.
- 30:21Speaker 1: They started in a fifteen hundred square foot place or smaller.
- 30:27Speaker 1: So Bensi wrote I guess pointed stuff like this out,
- 30:30Speaker 1: and now tech Cocosta is really really upset. Of course,
- 30:36Speaker 1: tech Cocosta wants to be on the side of the
- 30:38Speaker 1: far right, of the MAGA crazies, of the people who
- 30:42Speaker 1: want to complain, and want to complain, by the way,
- 30:44Speaker 1: right now, want to complain about the Trumpet administration. Trumpet
- 30:48Speaker 1: adminstration is causing the burritos to be twenty bucks. Not
- 30:51Speaker 1: the lobster. It's not the lobster in the burrito. It's
- 30:54Speaker 1: not the truffles in the burrito. It's not the fancy
- 30:57Speaker 1: fancy you know location you're buying the burrito farm, or
- 31:00Speaker 1: the fancy you know staw you're buying it from. No, no, no,
- 31:05Speaker 1: it's nothing to do with that. It's Trump. And you know,
- 31:09Speaker 1: in his policies, in his co market policies, he's too
- 31:13Speaker 1: pro capitalism. That's the problem with Trump. He relies on
- 31:16Speaker 1: the markets. What we really need, what we really really
- 31:20Speaker 1: really need, are price controls over burritos. All right, let's
- 31:25Speaker 1: go back to Tucker Cossa, and notice now he's going
- 31:28Speaker 1: to say Ben Shapiro is privileged. Privileged. That's a word
- 31:33Speaker 1: instituted and made popular by the left you don't notice
- 31:40Speaker 1: how the far awright keeps adopting leftist terminology, leftist ideas
- 31:46Speaker 1: and leftist terms privilege. Ben Shapiro is privileged. Why is
- 31:52Speaker 1: he privileged? Why is Ben Shapiro privileged?
- 31:57Speaker 4: Like Ben Shapiro somehow got into Harvard Law School despite
- 32:01Speaker 4: a middling IQ.
- 32:03Speaker 1: So Ben Shapiro has a middling IQ. He got into
- 32:06Speaker 1: Hubbard Law School in spite of the fact that he
- 32:09Speaker 1: has a middling IQ. Now I'm only to bet pretty
- 32:12Speaker 1: much anything that Ben Shapah's IQ is higher than Tucker
- 32:16Speaker 1: Castles and Tucker custom is no slouch. I think he's
- 32:19Speaker 1: pretty smart, but Min Shaville is really smart. I mean,
- 32:22Speaker 1: he's probably got a higher IQ than I have. He's smart,
- 32:27Speaker 1: as you know. I don't think much of IQ's to
- 32:29Speaker 1: beginning with. But why is the care Casson demeaning Ben
- 32:35Speaker 1: Shapiro's IQ. It seems stupid, It seems uh low and unfounded.
- 32:45Speaker 1: On what basis would you decide that you know Ben
- 32:49Speaker 1: Shavilla's a low IQ. Has has he done any tests?
- 32:54Speaker 1: I mean, just you know, his ability to play the violin,
- 32:58Speaker 1: his ability to talk is fast as he does his
- 33:02Speaker 1: ability you have to cuff to talk, you know intelligently.
- 33:06Speaker 1: Ben Shapiro is not a low IQ guy. No, I
- 33:10Speaker 1: know plenty of people who probably went to Harvard Law
- 33:12Speaker 1: School who probably are low IQU, not Ben Shabuin. So
- 33:19Speaker 1: where does the privileged comfort who got it into Harvard
- 33:23Speaker 1: Law Excuse me? Who the sneeze was there? Maybe it's
- 33:32Speaker 1: gone all right, let's let's.
- 33:36Speaker 4: The beneficiaries of unearned privile like Ben Shapiro, who somehow
- 33:39Speaker 4: got into Harvard Law School despite a middling IQ. How
- 33:44Speaker 4: did that happen? Never asked people like that have no
- 33:49Speaker 4: standing at all to lecture the rest of America's young people.
- 33:55Speaker 1: About whether they have no standing telecture Amaicans? Why don't
- 33:59Speaker 1: they have any stand? He telection makers? Because the privileged
- 34:02Speaker 1: how did he get into Harvard Law School? There's the
- 34:04Speaker 1: implication of somebody. We'll get into the next clip where
- 34:08Speaker 1: that application becomes a lot more significant implication.
- 34:11Speaker 5: You know that. I don't know.
- 34:12Speaker 1: The Mossad got him into Harvard, The Jews got him
- 34:16Speaker 1: into Harvard, These ready governments somehow got him into Harvard
- 34:19Speaker 1: Law School. The people he works for, does Ben who
- 34:23Speaker 1: does bench work for the people who works for got
- 34:27Speaker 1: him into Harvard Law School? He never earned it. How
- 34:31Speaker 1: do how do how do we know this?
- 34:33Speaker 2: Well?
- 34:33Speaker 1: Techiccass doesn't have to prove anything, he just tes to
- 34:36Speaker 1: claim it. He just tes to insinuate it. Bench bears ally, Q,
- 34:42Speaker 1: Why how do you know this is your evidence? It
- 34:45Speaker 1: doesn't matter.
- 34:48Speaker 5: Asked.
- 34:50Speaker 4: People like that have no standing at all to lecture
- 34:54Speaker 4: the rest of America's young people.
- 34:58Speaker 5: About whether or not they complain.
- 35:00Speaker 4: But they're clearly declining standard of living and their future prospects.
- 35:04Speaker 5: They have no standing at all, But they do it anyway.
- 35:08Speaker 5: Now why do they do it?
- 35:09Speaker 1: So? Maybe? So why do they do it? So we'll
- 35:14Speaker 1: turn to uh, We'll turn to h to who he
- 35:18Speaker 1: thinks Ben Shapiro really is and why he does it.
- 35:21Speaker 1: You know, he's trying to trying to undermine America. They're
- 35:24Speaker 1: trying to undermine American youth and ultimately trying to get
- 35:27Speaker 1: American youth to go die for Israel. That's really why
- 35:31Speaker 1: why he's doing it. Here is here is uh. Let's
- 35:36Speaker 1: go to the second clip and you can see right
- 35:40Speaker 1: off the bat, you've got a little thing here. Ben
- 35:42Speaker 1: Shapiro is created by Israel, getting him into law school
- 35:47Speaker 1: and making Daily Wire successful. Israel did all that. Who
- 35:53Speaker 1: why doesn't Isel do that for me? I you know,
- 35:56Speaker 1: I'm a big supporter. I like Israel doing that for me,
- 36:06Speaker 1: all right, clearly declining standard living, he says, I mean
- 36:10Speaker 1: no prospects of the future. He says. Demagogues have to
- 36:17Speaker 1: create a sense of emergency, a sense of catastrophe, a
- 36:22Speaker 1: sense of you know, impeding doom in order to justify
- 36:28Speaker 1: their authoritarian solutions. I mean Trump did this in twenty sixteen,
- 36:33Speaker 1: very very well, and I think he won because of it.
- 36:39Speaker 1: And Tucker Cousin and most of the far right are
- 36:44Speaker 1: very good at this. That the Lift's gonna take anything over,
- 36:46Speaker 1: the Jews are gonna take anything over. Israel is gonna
- 36:49Speaker 1: you know, American troops are dying all over the world
- 36:51Speaker 1: for Israel, and we have no foul policy. We're just
- 36:54Speaker 1: subsiding to Israel. And the whole points, the whole point
- 37:01Speaker 1: is to create the sense of doom. So when you
- 37:04Speaker 1: come up with crazy solutions, well yeah, I mean, if
- 37:07Speaker 1: there was gonna end tom up, we got to be
- 37:09Speaker 1: radical in our solutions. We can't be timid. We got
- 37:11Speaker 1: to go all out, we gotta we gotta really do it.
- 37:16Speaker 1: So tuck us all in on the Doom and Gloom
- 37:20Speaker 1: on the doom and glue. All right, let's uh, let's
- 37:23Speaker 1: listen to uh uh Tucker.
- 37:26Speaker 4: We're not playing this to suggest that Ben Shapiro was
- 37:29Speaker 4: like a shaper of history, a mover in American politics.
- 37:33Speaker 1: He's not.
- 37:34Speaker 5: He's an employee like most everybody else he's.
- 37:38Speaker 1: Notice how he snuck that in, right? He is an
- 37:41Speaker 1: employee like everybody else. Now, why is he saying that?
- 37:47Speaker 1: Like Ben Shapiro owns The Daily Wire, is one of
- 37:49Speaker 1: the founders, one of the owners, He runs his own podcast,
- 37:53Speaker 1: YouTube channel, whatever, Why is he referring to him as
- 37:58Speaker 1: an employee like everybody else who is employing Ben Shapiro.
- 38:03Speaker 1: Notice how you know how brilliant this is. I mean,
- 38:06Speaker 1: he's a He's a great demagogue. You plant these seeds
- 38:11Speaker 1: in people's minds. Ben Shapiro and employees works for somebody?
- 38:15Speaker 1: Who does he work for? Oh? And and you don't
- 38:20Speaker 1: you don't, You don't explain, you don't articulate reasons. You
- 38:25Speaker 1: just say it as if it's absolute, unequivoctly truth. You
- 38:29Speaker 1: say it with conviction. Evan Is says, uh Pike is
- 38:40Speaker 1: a creep? What a godless mouth? May FBI Severale, This
- 38:44Speaker 1: creepy radical Tucker's just as much of a creep as Piking,
- 38:50Speaker 1: Just as much of a creepers Assn Piking, Hassan pikm
- 38:53Speaker 1: I justified Mao and Stalin and and Tucker cousin is
- 38:58Speaker 1: well in his way to justifying Hitler, so just as
- 39:01Speaker 1: much of a creep. Discuss anyway. Ben Shapiro is an employee.
- 39:13Speaker 5: In politics.
- 39:13Speaker 1: He's not.
- 39:15Speaker 4: He's an employee like most everybody else. He's doing what
- 39:18Speaker 4: he's told. He represents larger interests. Obviously, he's doing what
- 39:22Speaker 4: he's told. He represents the larger interests. Obviously, don't question me.
- 39:27Speaker 4: There's no point he questioned me. I know the truth.
- 39:30Speaker 1: It's obvious. If you can't see it, you're blind. If
- 39:33Speaker 1: you don't know IVS loy Q, you're stupid. If you
- 39:36Speaker 1: can't see that he's being basically serving other interests, you're hopeless.
- 39:44Speaker 4: Sleep So why bother to replay and then rebut something
- 39:50Speaker 4: that Ben Shapiro said well in an effort to speak
- 39:54Speaker 4: to the people who put him up to it.
- 39:56Speaker 1: So he doesn't want to speak to Ben Shapiro. Ben
- 39:59Speaker 1: Shaba's nothing, He's a cog. He's an employee. He wants
- 40:03Speaker 1: to speak to the people who put him up to it.
- 40:05Speaker 1: Those are the people the Taka Cossa is concerned about.
- 40:08Speaker 4: So the whole point of Ben Shapiro, and there is
- 40:11Speaker 4: a point to Ben Shapiro. This is not like some
- 40:13Speaker 4: organic phenomenon like Ben Shapiro was just so charming and
- 40:15Speaker 4: brilliant that he somehow got into Harvard Law School and
- 40:18Speaker 4: then eyebrows and all emerged as a social media titan.
- 40:21Speaker 1: No, you know not how he did that. Somehow got
- 40:25Speaker 1: into Harvard, somehow became a social media titan. And he
- 40:28Speaker 1: throws the eyebrows in there as kind of a stupid
- 40:32Speaker 1: ad hominem personal insult about his face. And he says
- 40:38Speaker 1: it with a straight face, he says without any doubt.
- 40:41Speaker 1: He says it without giving you any reason to think
- 40:45Speaker 1: that he does not have possession of the absolute truth. Here.
- 40:50Speaker 1: This guy's really evil, really evil and sophisticated.
- 40:55Speaker 5: Well, of course not.
- 40:57Speaker 4: Ben Shapiro had a deal with Facebook, a deal no
- 41:01Speaker 4: one else got.
- 41:02Speaker 5: And so the point of.
- 41:03Speaker 4: Ben Shapiro was, here's a way to send a very
- 41:07Speaker 4: specific message, to outline and sell a very specific worldview
- 41:11Speaker 4: to young people. Ben Shapiro is an old person's idea
- 41:15Speaker 4: of a young person. He is a spokesman for a
- 41:20Speaker 4: group of older people.
- 41:21Speaker 1: A group of older people people are I wonder if
- 41:24Speaker 1: they have a particular ethic or religious affiliation. Who would
- 41:29Speaker 1: those be? Who are these older people who are manipulating,
- 41:33Speaker 1: who are driving? Who got benchmiat of it and made
- 41:38Speaker 1: his media company a success? Who are these older.
- 41:43Speaker 4: People aimed at younger people? I have an idea. Let's
- 41:48Speaker 4: get Ben Shapiro, This guy Ben Sjambers. He's brilliant, he's
- 41:51Speaker 4: a really promising young kid, and we'll get him to
- 41:54Speaker 4: sell free market economics and a robust Reaganite foreign policy
- 41:57Speaker 4: to the young folks the way I kind of worked
- 42:00Speaker 4: for a while thanks to the trans movement, which you
- 42:02Speaker 4: suspect they also kind of concocted.
- 42:08Speaker 1: Do you get that? That went very quickly? Right? So
- 42:12Speaker 1: it worked for a while, right, thanks for the trans movement,
- 42:18Speaker 1: because man Shapiro's anti trans, so people listened to him,
- 42:21Speaker 1: and they got the free market stuff as a bonus,
- 42:24Speaker 1: I guess. And then he says a movement that they
- 42:30Speaker 1: also concocted. Probably right, let's hear it again.
- 42:33Speaker 4: And we'll get him to sell free market economics in
- 42:36Speaker 4: a robust Reaganite foreign policy to the young folks. And
- 42:40Speaker 4: by the way, I kind of worked for a while
- 42:42Speaker 4: thanks to the Trans Movement, which you suspect they also
- 42:44Speaker 4: kind of concocted.
- 42:46Speaker 1: So these old people who we don't know who they are,
- 42:48Speaker 1: right they I have my suspicions. But these old people,
- 42:54Speaker 1: you know, god Ben Shapiro, and then, you know, to
- 42:56Speaker 1: make Ben Shapiro success, they created the Trans move movement
- 43:00Speaker 1: in Odi so that Ben could criticize the Trans movement,
- 43:04Speaker 1: which made him a big shot. Supposedly all this was
- 43:06Speaker 1: made up so he could he could, you know, do
- 43:11Speaker 1: their bidding in convincing young people of a reagunite foreign
- 43:16Speaker 1: policy and free markets. Wow, I mean it's all pretty
- 43:25Speaker 1: pretty amazing. You have to have to admit. I mean,
- 43:29Speaker 1: these people are these old people are pretty sophisticated. I
- 43:31Speaker 1: guess maybe I count as one of the old people.
- 43:36Speaker 1: These old people never consulted me, they never asked me,
- 43:39Speaker 1: and they certainly have not promoted me like they promoted
- 43:42Speaker 1: Min Shapiro.
- 43:43Speaker 5: The same group.
- 43:44Speaker 4: But whatever wherever that came from. For a while, Ben
- 43:48Speaker 4: Shapiro seemed like he was on the side of common
- 43:49Speaker 4: sense and he's for free speech, and he's against the
- 43:51Speaker 4: trans lunacy, et cetera, etcetera. But always from day one,
- 43:56Speaker 4: the point was Ben Shapiro is going to sell this
- 43:59Speaker 4: very specific version of economics, not capitalism, bears no resemblance
- 44:06Speaker 4: to anything Adam Smith advocated for.
- 44:10Speaker 1: Really, I mean, so now you know Tucker Colson is
- 44:14Speaker 1: going to claim Adam Smith on his side is gonna,
- 44:18Speaker 1: you know, claim somehow he hasn't insights into capitalism. And
- 44:23Speaker 1: then Benchhabia was never about capitalism. It was about conyism,
- 44:27Speaker 1: the conyism that exists today.
- 44:29Speaker 4: But the kind of modern American monopoly arrangement where six
- 44:34Speaker 4: countries companies can behave like countries, have sovereignty onlike our
- 44:39Speaker 4: own nation, and control every part of your life through debt.
- 44:44Speaker 1: Control every part of your life through debt. Remember we
- 44:48Speaker 1: talked about Tucker Colson at the end of the day
- 44:50Speaker 1: about having this idea that debt is slavery again, something
- 44:54Speaker 1: he took directly from the fall left. Debt is slavery.
- 44:59Speaker 1: That's a all left argument, dating back Demogs, probably maybe
- 45:06Speaker 1: even earlier. I mean, this guy's a far left fall leftists.
- 45:16Speaker 1: So what benchbu was really advocating for is not capitalism
- 45:20Speaker 1: but monopoly, defense of tech monopolies according to Taka, and
- 45:26Speaker 1: controlling your life through debt, which I guess the big
- 45:30Speaker 1: tech companies do. I thought that was banks. Maybe the
- 45:35Speaker 1: big tech companies control the banks to control your life.
- 45:39Speaker 4: Which is kind of broad but fairly accurate definition of
- 45:43Speaker 4: our current economic system.
- 45:44Speaker 5: So sell that is it.
- 45:46Speaker 4: And then sell the even harder to pitch idea that
- 45:50Speaker 4: it's unpatriotic to oppose wars for Israel.
- 45:55Speaker 1: Now we're getting to the crux of it. It's all
- 45:57Speaker 1: about Israel. It's all about wars for Israel. It's I mean,
- 46:02Speaker 1: this is the obsession. This is what Tucker has to
- 46:05Speaker 1: talk about every single show he has, I mean, his
- 46:08Speaker 1: hatred of Israel and by extension, the Jews. And don't
- 46:14Speaker 1: forget who the bankers are, who you're enslaved to with
- 46:17Speaker 1: the debt. Bankers are I mean, always, always have been
- 46:23Speaker 1: just code named for more Jews. So it's all about
- 46:27Speaker 1: Israel and the Jews.
- 46:28Speaker 4: Like, first of all, it's obviously anti Semitic. I mean,
- 46:30Speaker 4: it's just an expression of hate. If you don't want
- 46:32Speaker 4: to regime change some country you can't find on a map, Obviously,
- 46:35Speaker 4: you're a bigot.
- 46:36Speaker 1: You're basically well, maybe if you can't find it in
- 46:38Speaker 1: a map, maybe you should think about all the Americans
- 46:41Speaker 1: that that country has killed. Maybe it's time to get
- 46:44Speaker 1: an education in geography and actually find it on a map.
- 46:49Speaker 1: But Tucker's never going to tell you about other people
- 46:52Speaker 1: UoN has killed. No, and Tucker's is going to pretend
- 46:55Speaker 1: that the only reason in America is in any kind
- 46:58Speaker 1: of conflict with Yuon for the last fifty years, is
- 47:03Speaker 1: forty something, is forty seven years or whatever is because
- 47:06Speaker 1: of Israel. That's news to the hostages who are taking
- 47:10Speaker 1: the embassy. It's news to all the Americans who were
- 47:12Speaker 1: killed by Iranians over the decades. It's news to all
- 47:17Speaker 1: the soldiers who were killed in Iraq because of the Uranians.
- 47:22Speaker 1: But Teck, I'll never tell you about anything you Wan
- 47:25Speaker 1: has done that is hopeful. He is a friend to
- 47:28Speaker 1: Islam after all, into ISLAMI.
- 47:30Speaker 4: Countries, those wars for Israel, Like, first of all, it's
- 47:34Speaker 4: obviously anti Semitic. I mean, it's just an expression of hate.
- 47:37Speaker 4: If you don't want to regime change some country you
- 47:39Speaker 4: can't find on a map, obviously you're a bigot. You're
- 47:41Speaker 4: basically a Nazi.
- 47:43Speaker 1: And note that he says to stuff and again he
- 47:46Speaker 1: doesn't have to explain, doesn't have a articulate, just says
- 47:48Speaker 1: it is a fact. And then you know, he goes
- 47:52Speaker 1: into his own you know, his own record about World
- 47:56Speaker 1: War Two. No how he's dismissing it. Now, I was
- 48:00Speaker 1: completely you know, oh yeah, people just say that because
- 48:03Speaker 1: I oppose Israel, it's all about Israel.
- 48:05Speaker 5: In fact, you must be for Hitler.
- 48:07Speaker 4: You probably are opposed the second World War two, probably
- 48:10Speaker 4: a problems with Churchill, don't you.
- 48:12Speaker 1: Didn't you platform a guy who has clearly problems with
- 48:16Speaker 1: Churchill who you were nodding along and saying yes, yess
- 48:19Speaker 1: and supporting and sanctioning. Did you do that? And you
- 48:23Speaker 1: now were you know, changing your mind about that.
- 48:28Speaker 4: It's literally immoral to oppose Ben Shapiro's employer's foreign policy.
- 48:35Speaker 1: His employee is FIGN policy. Note again employers who employs it.
- 48:41Speaker 4: But it's also an American like this country was founded
- 48:44Speaker 4: to fight wars for Israel.
- 48:45Speaker 5: That's why we're here.
- 48:46Speaker 1: Notice this ridiculous.
- 48:48Speaker 4: Our founder said explicitly America exists as a juday of
- 48:52Speaker 4: Christian country to support Israel.
- 48:53Speaker 1: This is arguable.
- 48:55Speaker 4: So whatever whatever prime minister of that country wants, we're doing.
- 48:58Speaker 4: I mean, that's why we're here. So if you're a
- 49:00Speaker 4: against it, you don't believe in America, you're against America,
- 49:03Speaker 4: why don't you just leave? People will revoke your green
- 49:05Speaker 4: CARDO don't have a green card, will strip your citizenship.
- 49:08Speaker 4: And that's what ICE exists to do. Now, in any case,
- 49:12Speaker 4: you should know watching this that these are not just
- 49:13Speaker 4: Ben Shapiro's opinions.
- 49:15Speaker 5: The extend he actually has opinions, who knows, but these are.
- 49:18Speaker 4: The opinions of the people who prop up Ben Shapiro,
- 49:20Speaker 4: who created Ben Shapiro. And this is what they think.
- 49:24Speaker 4: This is the argument they sincerely believe apparently is going
- 49:28Speaker 4: to appeal to young people who are worried about the
- 49:30Speaker 4: price of burrito.
- 49:32Speaker 1: We'll not so here he's gone full circle. It's a
- 49:35Speaker 1: price of burritos. But and Ben Shapiro, you know, criticizing
- 49:41Speaker 1: or explaining why burritaz is expensive. You know, we don't
- 49:46Speaker 1: know what Benchava really thinks. What matters is these are
- 49:50Speaker 1: the opinions. What Ben Shavar's expressing are actually the opinions
- 49:55Speaker 1: of his employer, The opinions of the people who created
- 49:59Speaker 1: by Shippea, the opinions of the people who run Ben Shapiro,
- 50:04Speaker 1: who manage Ben Shapil, which was just an employee, and
- 50:08Speaker 1: who are these people? We never hear that, but it's
- 50:11Speaker 1: obvious from all the windows, from all the subtexts. It's
- 50:18Speaker 1: another you know, old people, counsel of elders of Zion,
- 50:23Speaker 1: maybe elders, old elders of Zion, old Jews, you know,
- 50:30Speaker 1: running the world. I mean, this is so stupid and
- 50:37Speaker 1: so you know, so stupid and so ancient. There's nothing
- 50:44Speaker 1: original on you here with what Techer costs, and he's
- 50:48Speaker 1: just using, you know, the same old accusation against Jews
- 50:53Speaker 1: and Tucker costs and Ben Shapurroh is just a fill
- 50:56Speaker 1: in for his hatred and and for the fact that
- 51:00Speaker 1: he still despises Israel and Jews more broadly. The guy's
- 51:06Speaker 1: just become a pathetic joke. I don't know, I don't
- 51:12Speaker 1: know what you want to call it, but it's about
- 51:16Speaker 1: as bad as it gets. So yes, that is that
- 51:20Speaker 1: is Taker Calsa attacking Ben Shapiro in that one. I
- 51:23Speaker 1: stand with Ben Shapiro one hundred percent. Ben Shapiro without
- 51:27Speaker 1: any doubt is smart. Ben Shapiro is very pro American.
- 51:31Speaker 1: I think he understands what America is and what is
- 51:35Speaker 1: unique about America better than Tucker Causon. Ever, has Ben
- 51:39Speaker 1: Schapper is right about economics vis a VI Tucker Causon.
- 51:44Speaker 1: I'm pretty much every topic. Ben Shapiro is better than
- 51:48Speaker 1: Taker Colson is, and Ben Shapea succeeded because he's smart,
- 51:53Speaker 1: He's entertaining, and people value his opinion. I think smart
- 51:57Speaker 1: people value his opinion, so in that conflict. Now I
- 52:05Speaker 1: have to say this because after this I watch some
- 52:08Speaker 1: clips of Ben Shapiro. I think he was interviewed by
- 52:12Speaker 1: Patrick Bindavid and the question Patrick Danndavid asked him was
- 52:18Speaker 1: am I gonna see you and Tucker Corsa and have
- 52:21Speaker 1: a conversation? And Ben Shapiro's answers, Oh, I've invited him
- 52:26Speaker 1: a thousand times. I've tried. I want to have a
- 52:28Speaker 1: conversation with Tucker, but Tecka says, no, Tucker won't do it.
- 52:31Speaker 1: He won't do it. And in that sense, it's like, Ben,
- 52:38Speaker 1: you deserve this, Like why are you granting Tucker anything?
- 52:45Speaker 1: Why don't you just say that's scumbag. I will not
- 52:49Speaker 1: have anywhere near me. He is a lying, deceiving, horrific
- 52:56Speaker 1: human being, and I have no it just to platforminghim.
- 53:01Speaker 1: I have no interest in appearing on the same stage
- 53:03Speaker 1: as him. I have no interest in dealing with him.
- 53:09Speaker 1: This is the problem with Ben Shapiro. He won't actually
- 53:12Speaker 1: stand up for himself. He's a cello to himself. He
- 53:18Speaker 1: won't stand up for his own values. He sells them out.
- 53:23Speaker 1: The values them would suggest that you don't deal with
- 53:27Speaker 1: your enemy, you don't promote your enemy, you don't negotiate
- 53:31Speaker 1: with the enemy, and you don't debate people who lie
- 53:36Speaker 1: about you the way Tucker Causon, for example, just blind
- 53:41Speaker 1: about men. Why would he even contemplate going on Tucker
- 53:46Speaker 1: Causis show, or having tech on his show, or having
- 53:48Speaker 1: a debate somewhere. It's insane. He has no self esteem,
- 53:56Speaker 1: no self for God. Also asked about would he debate
- 54:03Speaker 1: Nick Frantis, and again he said, I wouldn't do it
- 54:07Speaker 1: if he's gonna kid around. He's a comedian like the
- 54:11Speaker 1: guy denies the Holocaust, supports Hitler is an explicit anti Semite.
- 54:19Speaker 1: Why would you engage with him at any level in
- 54:23Speaker 1: any format anyway? It truly is insane, it's self destructive,
- 54:36Speaker 1: it's suicidal. I mean, it's why to some extent, I blame,
- 54:43Speaker 1: you know, Ben Shapiro for Trump, because while he might
- 54:51Speaker 1: criticize Trump on teriffts, he might criticize Trump on Iran,
- 54:57Speaker 1: but him criticized seeing him so weakly and only a
- 55:03Speaker 1: certain things rather than broadly about the phenomena of Trump.
- 55:10Speaker 1: Ben Shapiro has helped make that phenomena possible. He is
- 55:13Speaker 1: sanctioned evil. When you sanction evil, you make evil more powerful.
- 55:17Speaker 1: By saincy Trump, he made Trump more powerful, and he's
- 55:20Speaker 1: got a big enough audience that it matters. By sanctioning
- 55:24Speaker 1: Tecker Cossa and Iniqfluantis, Ben Shapiro makes them more powerful.
- 55:28Speaker 1: How can you treat Techer Cosson is legitimate on anything,
- 55:34Speaker 1: on anything, after what he just said about you, I e.
- 55:40Speaker 1: Ben Shapin, So Ben, wake up, wake up, Stop defending
- 55:47Speaker 1: your enemies. You're better than this. Stop trying to appease
- 55:54Speaker 1: everybody to the right the rights in some sense of you.
- 56:00Speaker 1: You don't need Nick Foyantis, you don't need Tucker Calson.
- 56:07Speaker 1: You need to take whatever principles you have more seriously
- 56:14Speaker 1: and sneak by them and tell these bastards to go
- 56:18Speaker 1: to hell, to go to hell. They don't deserve a
- 56:21Speaker 1: minute of your time. I mean criticize that, but they
- 56:26Speaker 1: don't deserve a sanction, which is what a meeting, a
- 56:29Speaker 1: friendly chats, a conversation, or even a debate. All right,
- 56:38Speaker 1: let's move on from Ben Shapiro and Tucker Calson. Let's
- 56:49Speaker 1: go to Mamdani says, you know, mam, Donnie's big thing
- 56:53Speaker 1: is cost of living. Rents are going up. He wants
- 56:56Speaker 1: to solve the rent problem in New York and for
- 56:59Speaker 1: that he had the original never tried before idea, never
- 57:03Speaker 1: tried before idea of rent control in New York City
- 57:10Speaker 1: and expanding it and maybe even public ownership, which really exists,
- 57:15Speaker 1: but expanding public ownership of rent of properties in New
- 57:18Speaker 1: York City. And he's put all this into place, and
- 57:24Speaker 1: the consequence are pretty fast. I mean, people adjust to
- 57:28Speaker 1: these new circumstances pretty quickly, and as you expect, rents
- 57:34Speaker 1: are plummeted in New York City. No, not the average
- 57:44Speaker 1: price tag for place to live in New York City,
- 57:47Speaker 1: in Manhattan. I think it's in Manhattan. Yeah, Manhattan has
- 57:52Speaker 1: just hit a Joe dropping six thousand, six hundred and
- 57:55Speaker 1: fifty five dollars a month, which is an all time high.
- 58:00Speaker 1: Now I should know, yeah, people who are worried about
- 58:07Speaker 1: cost of living should probably are worried about paying that
- 58:10Speaker 1: kind of rent.
- 58:11Speaker 2: You know.
- 58:11Speaker 1: One way to deal with that is to leave New
- 58:13Speaker 1: York City. You can get a pretty amazing place in
- 58:18Speaker 1: other parts of the country for six six hundred and
- 58:20Speaker 1: fifty five dollars a month. Anyway, this is a ten
- 58:27Speaker 1: percent jump from a year ago, and the culprit is
- 58:33Speaker 1: clearly the incoming rent freezers. People are raising rents now
- 58:38Speaker 1: because they're going to be frozen soon. And then there's
- 58:42Speaker 1: also the tax. The tax is going to squeeze the
- 58:46Speaker 1: market even higher. This tax on apartments that are not
- 58:51Speaker 1: occupied a significant part of the year, right, and then
- 58:56Speaker 1: there's a record low number of vacant apartments because, in
- 59:00Speaker 1: spite of my pleading, most people want to live in
- 59:02Speaker 1: New York. A lot of people want to live in
- 59:04Speaker 1: New York. They like living New York. They indeed willing
- 59:07Speaker 1: to pay six six hundred and fifty five dollars a
- 59:09Speaker 1: month for an average apartment in New York. The median
- 59:16Speaker 1: rent that was that was the that was the average
- 59:20Speaker 1: the median rent, so fifty percent of higher, fifty percent
- 59:23Speaker 1: of lower. It's and ninety five dollars, which is up
- 59:27Speaker 1: six percent from last July. So it's been going up.
- 59:35Speaker 1: It's been going up. Every size apartment is getting hit.
- 59:41Speaker 1: Average prices up double digits for two and three bedrooms.
- 59:45Speaker 1: Studios now average four thousand and eighty eight dollars. Imagine
- 59:50Speaker 1: you know, paying four thousand dollars a month for studio,
- 59:54Speaker 1: which is up eight percent. One bedroom apartments at eighty six,
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: up seven percent, two bedrooms up thirteen percent to eight
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: thousand dollars, and three bedrooms are averaging a staggering twelve
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty eight thousand dollars. How do you
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: raise a family in New York when you're paying twelve thousand,
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty eight dollars a month for rent.
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's a huge amount of money. And
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: that's for a three bedroom apartment now probably not a
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: very big one. Vacancy rate is one point four to nine,
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: the tightest that's been since nineteen sixty eight, down for
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: one point five seven previously, anything hundred five percent is
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: a landowner landloaders market, so rents go up. Now, of course,
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: the solution of this we all know. We all know
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: what the solution is, more apartments, more rental properties. State
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: registration data are self supported by landlords, show about fifty
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: seven thousand rents stabilized apartments set empty. Why are they
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: sitting empty because it's not worth the while of the
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: landlord to rent them out at the rates the rent
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: stabilization has set. That's about five point six percent of
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: the regulated stock. So more and more apartments that are
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: rent stabilized, rent control rates stabilized. It's such a a
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: misleading term when controlled by the government, city governed. In
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: this case, five six percent of those apartments are empty
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: because to clean them up and to renovate them and
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: to get them out to spec would cost so much
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: money you couldn't make it back given the rents that
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: the controllers allow. You allow you. It's your property, you know,
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: to charge. So yeah, I mean, if you look at
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: New York state and city regulations, things like good cause
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: evictions making it very difficult to evict attendance who's not
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: paying you, The Fair Act and the twenty nineteen rent
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: laws have all basically created a perfect storm for high
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: rent and have taken a bunch of apartments off the market. Right.
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: So yeah, and what is the single most important thing
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: to New York voters cost of living. So let's elect
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: a mayor who's going to raise the cost of living
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: by restricting even further the number of apartments available for rent.
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: That is shrinking supply. And we know what happens when
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: you shrink supply. When you shrink supply, places go up.
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: When you artificially shrink supply, prices have to go up.
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: The incoming rent freeze is just gonna make things worse.
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: It's gonna it's gonna apply to more more landlords, more
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: apartments will go off market, and ultimately prices of the
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: unfrozen rent are going to go up more significantly. Right.
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: I mean, the tenants in the apartments that are going
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: to be frozen, they benefit. But anybody out there in
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: the marketplace, those prices are going to continue to go up,
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: continue to go up. The rent freeze, by the way,
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: officially kicks in October first, So I will update you
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: after that, and and we will we will see. But
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: this is this is not a mystery. What's happening in
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: New York is completely expected and it's a seek economics
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: one on one. Nothing about this should surprise anybody.
- 1:04:09Speaker 6: All right, let me just see where we are. All right, there, oops,
- 1:04:21Speaker 6: one second, there we go.
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: We did cut out, we did rents. Okay, data centers.
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: So data centers are becoming the issue that is uniting
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: left and right. And here we're not talking about fall
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: left and far right. We're talking about just plain left
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: and right. A majority of Americans today pose to data centers.
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: Aaron Brokeleiche famous environmentalist activists. There's a movie about a
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: pretty good movie actually about whose environmental activism. The movie
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: was good even if we disagreed with what was being depicted.
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: Edinburgh Rich was on Real Time with Billmont on Friday,
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: and she has spent the year mapping American towns that
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: found out a data center was coming only after the
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: bulldozers arrived. So she's got like the thousands of reports
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: from all fifty states and where this big facility shows up,
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: A big facility that can consume millions of gallons of
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: water a day. And yeah, artificial intelligence is just destroying
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: this country. It's just going to destroy water. So take land.
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: Let's start with land, just to give you a sense
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: of how big this is? Whoops, Christmin and Wakefield a
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: commercial real estate from the tracks these tracks Data sent
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: Deals reposts that the average parcel bought for data center
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four ran a couple of one hundred acres.
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: Scaled up by the computing capacity in the industry expects
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: to have running by twenty thirty, and you get something
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: around the size of Rhode Island. So the total amount
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: of data centers in the United States, total land occupied
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: by those data centers will be about the size of
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: Rhode Islands. I mean, I don't know if that makes
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: you feel like it's a huge amount over Rhode Island's
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: a pretty small state. Nah, that's not big of a deal.
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: Now compare that with ways we already use land. And
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: this is, by the way, from a report written by
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: Marion Twope maryon twopee. He was really really good guy
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: on the Human Progress website human progress dot org. I
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: highly recommend visiting Human part was talking oh periodically because
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: they have some really interesting stuff. Anyway, he says, looks
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: look at some other ways in which the federal government,
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: for example, uses land. Federal government requires refiners to blend
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: corn ethanol into gasoline do you know how much space
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: growing corn for use as ethanol? How much space that
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: takes up in the United States? About the size of
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: New York State. So take New York state envision that
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: is one big corn field. That's how much corn is
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: being grown in the US because of the federal government
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: mandate to blend corn ethanol into gasoline. Talk about a
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: misallocation of resources. And that's big New York State, a
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: lot bigger, a lot bigger than Rhode Island. Oh you know,
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: take the agriculture department that pays farmers to leave a
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: Kentucky sized area Kentucky size unplanted. So agriculture of our
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: department pays farmers not to plant. Since two thousand, American
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: farmland is shrunk by an area larger than Colorado. And
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: we still make more food than ever, more stuff than
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: ever because some of it's not food. Nobody seems to
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: care about how land is being used in these cases.
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: Why we suddenly care about how land is being used
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: in data centers now? One of the arguments is we
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: care because it uses up so much water. What are
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: then that is not available for the local community. The
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: water is ev operates. Yeah, the rainfall somewhere, but if
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: falls somewhere else, and that could create problems with local
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: community terms of access to water, price of water. But
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: here again the issue the number of issues. One is well, yeah,
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: I mean, if we privatize water and we priced it right,
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: then there'd be a huge investment right now in discovering
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: new sources of water. Maybe we'd be building desalination plants,
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: which we should anyway in some parts of the United
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: States because water would become so valuable. It's the exact
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: issue about power. Residents are not going to pay higher
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: power bills because it's going to come so profitable to
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: build new pop plants to deal with the data centers.
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: They we're going to get a huge, a huge build
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: of power plants. They're going to actually drive prices lower,
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: not higher. So okay, so there's an issue of water.
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: But here's the thing. There are now multiple ways in
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: which this can be dealt with. One, there is now
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: a technology that Nvidia is presenting which is actually going
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: to use fans right. Two cool the you know, the servers.
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: The water is being used to cool the servers because
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: you got these big buildings with thousands of servers running
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: and they produce heat like a Nvidia chip can run
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: at one hundred and thirteen degrees fahrenheit, So you could
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: use something like a radiator and fans and have a
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: close system with water not being lost. Now you need
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: a lot of electricity because you need the fans. But okay,
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: we know how to build pop lanes that can be
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: dealt with. Microsoft does announced a design that circles the
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: same fluid through a sealed loop past the chip and back.
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: Google and Amazon and Microsoft already run sites untreated city
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: wastewater those dirty chips rather than anything anyone would drink,
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: So you know they are solution stalls. And we've already
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: seen and I've talked about this on the show. If
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: you think about consumption of water by these by these plants,
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: and you compare the consumption of water by almond growers
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: in California and things like that, I mean, it's it's ludicrous.
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: We because of our crazy schemes of pricing water that
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: are all run by the government, we favor the worst uses,
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: not the best. Worst, not in the sense of there's
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: any bad with almonds, but it's unbelievably wasteful to go
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: almonds in California, and it wouldn't happen if water was
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: priced by a market, not subsidized by government. So yeah,
- 1:12:31Speaker 1: the technology to bring on site water use near zero
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: already exists. And again, if you priced water appropriately, the
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: incentive to employ these technologies would only increase. So you know,
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: they this anti tech, this alarmists, this hysteria. The word's
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: gonna end. We're gonna run out of water. I mean,
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: the one of problems in the US, just to ask
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: people in Arizona and in Nevada and in places like that,
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: there were problems because of changing weather patterns. But you know,
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: Brocker Rich and sadly also Bill Maher have this, you know,
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: inherent suspicion of anything man made. Anything man made is
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: a disaster for quote nature is a problem for nature.
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: So I just wanted to update you on that. Let's see, Yeah,
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: one more, this is a good story. So refunds on
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: tariffs are being paid out to companies. We've talked about
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: this that were billions of dollars. So far, over forty
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: s and p five hundred companies have reported some nine
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: point six billion in refunds in the past quarter or so,
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: including at least two point one billion in cash already
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: received among the biggest refunds of tariffs. The biggest is
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: by Paul Apple two point two billion, nine hundred and
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: eighty six million, FedEx at about eight hundred million, Amazon
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: at six forty million, and General Motors at five hundred million.
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: So this is literally the US Customs and Border Protection
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: Agency sending checks. They received two hundred and fifty two
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: thousand refund applications as of July thirty first for tariffs
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: they were collected based unlawfully used law as determined by
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: Supreme Court. So the customer Agency is accepted one hundred
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: and twenty eight point seven billion in refunds for processing.
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: And you know, the money is slowly lowing out. Now.
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: The interesting thing about it, as their wallsee journal reports,
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: is that the companies are now starting to refund this
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: money to customers. I said then the other day on
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: the show, the customers will never see it. Well, it
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: turns out I was wrong. It turns out that a
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: number of companies now actually sending checks to the people
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: who they sold goods to where they passed on the
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: cost of the tariff. Let's see, so, for example, fed
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: Ex and UPS are both refunding the money they got
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: from the government and then they're passing it on to customers. Idex,
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: which sells pumps and valve to range of industries, said
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: it expected to rebate fourteen point seven million dollars to customers.
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: That is about two thirds of the more than twenty
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: million in received. Now here's the big point, right, The
- 1:16:14Speaker 1: big point is don't let anybody ever, god ever claim
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: the foreigners pay the tariff. Should I say that again?
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: Don't let anybody ever claim the foreigners pay the tariff.
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: US companies and US consumers pay the tariff. As it
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: suggests that by the fact that it's US customers, US
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: companies and even customers who are getting the refunds. Yeah,
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: it's uh so it's good to see these companies sending
- 1:16:55Speaker 1: it to customers. I think it's the right thing to do.
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: It's the competitive thing to do. And yeah, particular UPS
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: and FedEx in particular because basically FedEx and UPS acted
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: as customers brokers for imported packages. They received tariff refunds
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: from the US government and they started to pass those
- 1:17:16Speaker 1: refunds to the customers that originally paid the tariff. So
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: you paid the tariff when you bought something, but FedEx
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: and ups in a sense of applied for refunding your name.
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: So these companies work, they worked for us. It's pretty amazing.
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: All right, let's see where. Yeah, I didn't list this
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: as a show topic, but what the hell? So you remember
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: that story about President Trump media company that were selling
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: for one hundred thousand dollars a month the Trump's tweets
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: in advance of making them public so that people could
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: trade on them anyway. Two media organizations have now sued
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: Trump over the social media platform truth Social's news service
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: offering faster access to his offer market moving posts. They
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: called it extraordinary, corrupt, and unconstitutional. The Intercept and the
- 1:18:31Speaker 1: nonprofit and the nonprofit Freedom of the Press Foundation alleged
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: that the truth Social offering runs afoul of the First
- 1:18:39Speaker 1: Amendment guarantee of equal public access to the president's statements.
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a guarantee in the First
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: Amendment for that. Maybe it's some interpretation by the Supreme Court.
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: And also that it violates a Fifth Amendment by granting
- 1:18:53Speaker 1: preferessional preferential access for unreasonable sums. The suit asks the
- 1:19:00Speaker 1: According New York to block the president for posting official
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: government information exclusively on truth Social Now, this is going
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: to be a really interesting one because I think it's
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: reaching on the constitutionality. Yet it's clearly wrong, clearly and
- 1:19:15Speaker 1: equivocally wrong. So it'll be interesting to see how a
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: quote rules, if this ever makes it anywhere. This is
- 1:19:25Speaker 1: one of the lawyers. This is what they wrote. The
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: president here is using the power of the office to
- 1:19:30Speaker 1: vastly enrich himself, and I think it's unprecedented in American history.
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: In some ways, Trump is the Picasso of corruption. He
- 1:19:40Speaker 1: comes up with schemes that just won't occur to UOI
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: and the Truth Social one is an example of that. Now,
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: the lawsuit also names as defendants the President's executive assistant
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: Natalie Harp and the White House Deputy Chief of Staff
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: Dan Scavine, you know, both who were in the in
- 1:20:02Speaker 1: the food court escaping the seven seven. These are two
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: ages that have access to President Trump's to social accounts,
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: and that's why they're being sued. Anyway, I'm looking forward
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: to seeing how this gets ruled on by the courts.
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: It's it's going to be I mean, again, it's so
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: explicitly corrupt, But what is the basis of outlawing it.
- 1:20:32Speaker 1: It'll be interesting, all right. A few good news stories,
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: a few human achievements stories. A county in North Carolina.
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: High County in North Carolina actually is the first in
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: the nation to deploy an e v T O L
- 1:20:50Speaker 1: E and electric aircraft on a nine to eleven call.
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: Height Counties EMS deployed a light train paramedic aboard an
- 1:21:02Speaker 1: e How do you pronounce these e veto. They're going
- 1:21:06Speaker 1: to have to figure out some better acronym, e veto,
- 1:21:12Speaker 1: you know. So these at little one man planes that
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: can take off and land with no space. And so
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: this one arrived about twenty minutes ahead of an ambulance.
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: And so there was during two recent emergency calls, a
- 1:21:31Speaker 1: flight trained paramedic piloted the e Vetol aircraft directly to
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: the patient. One on one call, The paramedic arrived about
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: twenty minutes before a ground ambulance and began providing advanced
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: life support while other crews were still in route. Official
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: said the mission marked the first years of the e
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: Vetol aircraft and routine emergency medical response in the United States.
- 1:21:59Speaker 1: The program is designed to shorten the time between a
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: nine to one to one dispatch and the arrival of
- 1:22:04Speaker 1: advanced medical care, particularly in rural areas where long distance
- 1:22:08Speaker 1: can delay ground ambulances. Now I'm waiting for it to
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: be in cities where ambulances could get stuck in traffic. Uh.
- 1:22:17Speaker 1: The follow the program followed months of planning and flight training,
- 1:22:21Speaker 1: including more than three hundred training flights before the light
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: mission began. Yeah, I mean it's it's really cool. So
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: you're gonna start seeing these little aircraft flying around, landing
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: on the spot, taking off one spot. These are and
- 1:22:36Speaker 1: these of course need a pilot. Uh. But we're also
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: seeing drones used for similar emergency like situations. So here's
- 1:22:48Speaker 1: a case. Also, it happened, you know, recently an automated
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: extended defibrillator was delivered by an ever drone Ever drones
- 1:23:00Speaker 1: droned system that it was used in response to a
- 1:23:05Speaker 1: confirmed out of hospital cardiac arrest involving a man in
- 1:23:09Speaker 1: his sixties in Boras, Sweden. So this is a Sweden
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: of the United States. On nineteen July twenty twenty six,
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: the droners dispatched as part of a new standard emergency
- 1:23:24Speaker 1: response and delivered and delivered the AED. This is the
- 1:23:29Speaker 1: you know, the what do you call automated external deflator
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: lator to the scene of the incident pry it to
- 1:23:36Speaker 1: an ambulance arriving. Demand regained a pulse at the scene
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: and was subsequently treated in a hospital. According to the
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: CEO of ever Drone, the company that provided the drone,
- 1:23:49Speaker 1: in cases of out of hospital cardiac arrest, the first
- 1:23:51Speaker 1: few minutes a crucial. Ever Dron's drone system helps healthcare
- 1:23:56Speaker 1: providers get an AED to the scene as early as possible,
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: giving the patient the best possibility the best chance of survival.
- 1:24:06Speaker 1: The drone flies autonomously to the emergency location and delivers
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: the AED by lowering it on a winch from an
- 1:24:15Speaker 1: altitude of approximately thirty meters. It's in suspected cardioc arrest cases,
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: the drone is dispatched automatically in parallel with the ambulance. Now.
- 1:24:28Speaker 1: In this case, the drone was dispatched from its local
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: base and delivered the AED directly to the scene prior
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: to the ambulance arrival. Bystanders immediately started CPR and attached
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: the AED with guidance and support from the emergency dispatcher.
- 1:24:45Speaker 1: So they told them exactly how to do it, and
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: the AED analyzed the patient's heart rhythm and the defibrillation
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: shock was delivered. The subsequent medical response was provided by
- 1:24:56Speaker 1: the ambulance servers and the other emergency responses. So really
- 1:25:00Speaker 1: cool stuff where you're getting where you're deploying stuff by
- 1:25:04Speaker 1: drone right and you know, a defibrillator or in the
- 1:25:13Speaker 1: other case of person, an actual medic to a location
- 1:25:18Speaker 1: which we're getting an ambulance that is going to take
- 1:25:22Speaker 1: a lot longer. These are really cool ways in which
- 1:25:24Speaker 1: to deploy this technology. Here's another one. Tampa General Hospital, Tampa,
- 1:25:29Speaker 1: Florida prepares to deploy first in the nation whole blood
- 1:25:34Speaker 1: drone delivery program in partnership with Hillsboro County Fire Rescue
- 1:25:40Speaker 1: and Archer First Responders Systems. So the hospital announced the
- 1:25:45Speaker 1: launch of the system. The program, you know, basically will
- 1:25:50Speaker 1: deliver when patients are hemorrhaging. It will deliver whole blood
- 1:25:56Speaker 1: to the location by drone. When patients are hamaging, every
- 1:26:01Speaker 1: minute without blood drastically decreases the chances of survival. This
- 1:26:07Speaker 1: is a quote I guess from the CEO of the hospital.
- 1:26:09Speaker 1: As far out as premier academic health system and a
- 1:26:13Speaker 1: world class Level one trauma center, Tampa General offers patients
- 1:26:17Speaker 1: in crisis the best chances at best possible outcomes. But
- 1:26:21Speaker 1: we refuse to set up for the status quote, which
- 1:26:24Speaker 1: is why we invest in the latest tech and pursue
- 1:26:27Speaker 1: innovation solutions to reach patients faster with equipment and care
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: they need. So anyway, drones and on delivering blood very cool.
- 1:26:39Speaker 1: By what else did I have in this segment? Yeah,
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: Grock Grok just announced its latest and greatest AI Grock
- 1:26:48Speaker 1: four point six. Grock proprin sixes is the equivalent of
- 1:26:52Speaker 1: ch GPT's latest and by the benchmarks, both of those
- 1:26:56Speaker 1: rank just a little behind Fable Fable five max, which
- 1:27:01Speaker 1: is andthropics and toropics. Uh, you know, uh main products.
- 1:27:10Speaker 1: On some things, Grock is better than a topic and
- 1:27:14Speaker 1: other things that falls further behind. But yes, this is
- 1:27:17Speaker 1: one of the this is one of the main So
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: competition among AI companies continues. Competition among uh the frontier
- 1:27:26Speaker 1: companies continues. They keep matching each other and improving. This
- 1:27:31Speaker 1: will also ultimately drive costs down for all of us.
- 1:27:35Speaker 1: And of course they are all facing the competition from
- 1:27:37Speaker 1: open source open source products that are coming from China,
- 1:27:42Speaker 1: but also ultimately open source products that come from from
- 1:27:47Speaker 1: the US, like like matters open source that you know
- 1:27:53Speaker 1: will be released I think and I'm sure will be
- 1:27:55Speaker 1: up there in terms of its capabilities. All right, so
- 1:28:00Speaker 1: growuck full point six. All right, there's all of this
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: other news that I'm gonna skip. All right, We'll do
- 1:28:09Speaker 1: this other news another time. So that is the news,
- 1:28:14Speaker 1: my friends for Thursday, August thirteenth. Thank you all for watching,
- 1:28:18Speaker 1: Thank you all for being here, and we will turn
- 1:28:21Speaker 1: to a super chat. We'll turn to a super chat
- 1:28:25Speaker 1: just as soon as I think some of some of
- 1:28:31Speaker 1: the promotions some of the people who supporting the Iron
- 1:28:40Speaker 1: Book show. We'll start with Alex Epstein. Alex Epstein has
- 1:28:45Speaker 1: is the number one expert in the world on all

- 1:28:52Speaker 1: an ability to produce energy. Is also becoming a world
- 1:28:56Speaker 1: class experts on data centers, So expect to see a
- 1:28:59Speaker 1: lot of material out Alex on data centers if you
- 1:29:04Speaker 1: want to, if you want Alex's talking points on all
- 1:29:06Speaker 1: of these issues, if you're getting into conversations with friends, family,
- 1:29:10Speaker 1: co workers, and you want the ammunition to be able
- 1:29:13Speaker 1: to defend your position on things like data centers, check

- 1:29:26Speaker 1: has a conference in Austin, Texas in September eleventh through thirteenth.
- 1:29:30Speaker 1: I believe if you're thirty five years or young guy,
- 1:29:34Speaker 1: I think you can still apply for scholarship. Now, the
- 1:29:37Speaker 1: link through the Iran dot oak slusybs doesn't seem to
- 1:29:41Speaker 1: be working, but you can just search Google Irand Institute

- 1:30:50Speaker 1: and try to change the world. And the education they
- 1:30:54Speaker 1: get on capitalism is work class. It's it's the best.
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: You know. It's stuff that Michael and I have built
- 1:31:04Speaker 1: based on objectivism, and it covers politics, and it covers
- 1:31:10Speaker 1: economics and importantly and what makes it unique is it
- 1:31:13Speaker 1: covers it covers a philosophy, It covers morality, the morality

- 1:33:55Speaker 1: super chats, stickers. I haven't seen a lot of stickers today.
- 1:33:59Speaker 1: We can definitely use some stickers because we're below the
- 1:34:01Speaker 1: one hour goal, which is not a good place to be.
- 1:34:03Speaker 1: We shouldn't be below the one hour goal, and our
- 1:34:07Speaker 1: goal is to in a fifty an hour on here

- 1:34:47Speaker 1: hundred dollars, anything in that range is great. It all
- 1:34:51Speaker 1: adds up. We're still about seventy five dollars short about
- 1:34:54Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty dollars goal, so please consider supporting
- 1:34:58Speaker 1: us and getting us to that goal. But yeah, jump
- 1:35:03Speaker 1: in and help us out. I'd very much appreciate it.
- 1:35:07Speaker 1: All right, let's start with Liam says thought us a
- 1:35:10Speaker 1: Nick Foyant is being placed on the no fly list.
- 1:35:12Speaker 1: I haven't heard of that. Is this a rights violation
- 1:35:15Speaker 1: or is it an objective national security threat? The federal
- 1:35:18Speaker 1: government doesn't need to go before a judge to place
- 1:35:20Speaker 1: someone on the no fly list. It's ridiculous. It's absolutely
- 1:35:25Speaker 1: a violation of his of his rights. He is not
- 1:35:29Speaker 1: a national security threat as far as I know, unless
- 1:35:32Speaker 1: they have some real information that justifies this. As you know,
- 1:35:37Speaker 1: he's scheming, he's involved in I don't know, white suprematist
- 1:35:41Speaker 1: terrorist attacks or something like that. This is absolutely ridiculous.
- 1:35:46Speaker 1: It's a violation of his First Amendment because clearly this
- 1:35:49Speaker 1: is penalizing him on what he says. I hate Nick Foyantis.
- 1:35:53Speaker 1: I despise Nickfoyantis. This is not how you deal with
- 1:35:56Speaker 1: people you disagree with. This is clearly outside of what
- 1:36:01Speaker 1: the US government should be doing, has the right to do.
- 1:36:09Speaker 1: And let's hope that if it goes in front of
- 1:36:12Speaker 1: a court, the courts can you know, figure this out
- 1:36:16Speaker 1: and you know and get him off the no fly lists.
- 1:36:23Speaker 1: I mean, if they can do that the Nick frantis
- 1:36:24Speaker 1: without going in front of a judge, they can't do
- 1:36:26Speaker 1: it to anybody and that can't be right. So again,
- 1:36:29Speaker 1: the government has way too much power, and this the
- 1:36:32Speaker 1: no fly list, which is again a product of the
- 1:36:35Speaker 1: post nine eleven trauma and the post nine eleven hysteria
- 1:36:39Speaker 1: and the post nine eleven you know, paranoia that cannot exist.
- 1:36:46Speaker 1: You cannot be able to put people in no flights
- 1:36:48Speaker 1: lists without a judge if they're Americans. If they're Americans,
- 1:36:55Speaker 1: a judge has to prove that you're restricting the freedom
- 1:36:58Speaker 1: movement of an American citizen in America. It's just unacceptable.
- 1:37:07Speaker 1: Andrews says, can you critique a former Republican senator's claim
- 1:37:14Speaker 1: the capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than
- 1:37:17Speaker 1: anything other than Christianity. That's pretty funny, unclear how to
- 1:37:22Speaker 1: unpack it. Had you heard before the Christianity souls poverty.
- 1:37:26Speaker 1: No Christianity, cowarges is poverty the meek soil inhabit the earth,
- 1:37:30Speaker 1: and military said knew this. That's why she never helped
- 1:37:33Speaker 1: people really out of poverty. She just helped them stay
- 1:37:36Speaker 1: poor and not die. I don't even know where to start.
- 1:37:40Speaker 1: I mean, the only way I can conceive of him
- 1:37:43Speaker 1: thinking about this, and it would be great if you
- 1:37:45Speaker 1: could send me the clip where he talks about this,
- 1:37:49Speaker 1: is that he would argue that Christianity caused capitalism. Christianity
- 1:37:52Speaker 1: is the source of capitalism and therefore Christianity's the source
- 1:37:55Speaker 1: of capitalism's poverty eliminating. But other than that, this is
- 1:38:03Speaker 1: just fantasy and absurdity. And it's not like christian charity
- 1:38:06Speaker 1: has brought people out of poverty and any significant numbers,
- 1:38:10Speaker 1: if at all. It's not like anybody came out of
- 1:38:13Speaker 1: poverty for thousands of years, for two thousand years, out
- 1:38:16Speaker 1: of Christianity. It's only literally only capitalism that brought people
- 1:38:20Speaker 1: out of Coverty. So the only thing I can think
- 1:38:22Speaker 1: of is he's taking credit. He's given Christianity credit for
- 1:38:26Speaker 1: the achievements of capitalism because he claims the Christianity's cause capitalism.
- 1:38:30Speaker 1: Now that'll be debunked in my book with Don Watkins,
- 1:38:33Speaker 1: so stay tuned, all right, fronts will should one practice
- 1:38:43Speaker 1: a skill that they don't enjoy and aren't particularly good at,
- 1:38:48Speaker 1: but believe is useful for their projects? Or should one
- 1:38:52Speaker 1: only specialize in what they are good at and enjoy
- 1:38:55Speaker 1: from the beginning? Oh? No, absolutely, you should practice and
- 1:38:59Speaker 1: be I'm good at skills than an assay for your career.
- 1:39:03Speaker 1: I assume that's what you mean by projects. Not everything
- 1:39:07Speaker 1: in life is enjoyable. Life is not about enjoyment of
- 1:39:13Speaker 1: every actual everything that one does. And if you understand
- 1:39:18Speaker 1: that the skill is necessary or your career full projects,
- 1:39:23Speaker 1: then it will become more enjoyable with time, as you
- 1:39:26Speaker 1: get better at it, and as you understand it's relevance
- 1:39:30Speaker 1: for your future, it will become more enjoyable. Now, look,
- 1:39:34Speaker 1: is exercise enjoyable? Not? Really? Is it necessary for prolonging
- 1:39:40Speaker 1: my life? Yes? So I do it. They are more
- 1:39:44Speaker 1: enjoyable things I could do with that time. So objectivism, egoism,
- 1:39:49Speaker 1: selfishness is not arguing pursue only that which is enjoyable. No,
- 1:39:53Speaker 1: pursue only that which is good for you. And developing
- 1:39:59Speaker 1: a learn a skill, even if unenjoyable, then is gonna
- 1:40:04Speaker 1: enhance your career is definitely good for you, is definitely
- 1:40:11Speaker 1: life enhancing. So do it. So my answers absolutely shouldn't
- 1:40:16Speaker 1: do it, and and and again. If you expect everything
- 1:40:20Speaker 1: to be enjoyable from the beginning, God, you know, what
- 1:40:24Speaker 1: are you gonna do when you have a baby. It's
- 1:40:26Speaker 1: not enjoyable from the beginning. I mean, you can find
- 1:40:29Speaker 1: joy in it, but it's a lot of damn work
- 1:40:33Speaker 1: and scary and your first child and a lot of
- 1:40:37Speaker 1: book but everything, everything requires doing things sometimes that you're
- 1:40:45Speaker 1: not gonna enjoy changing diapers. You can become really good
- 1:40:48Speaker 1: at it, but it never becomes enjoyable. Oh fun, I'm
- 1:40:53Speaker 1: gonna clean this babies anyway. You get my point? Uh,
- 1:40:58Speaker 1: Sebastian says. The explosions in Italian weapons factory. Yes, I
- 1:41:03Speaker 1: saw that huge explosion in KNDS ammunition factory in Italy.
- 1:41:10Speaker 1: Hard to tell because it's making news. It only happened
- 1:41:12Speaker 1: a few hours ago. We don't know what caused explosion.
- 1:41:16Speaker 1: It could be an accident, but it also could be
- 1:41:18Speaker 1: Russian sabotage. It could very well be Russian sabotage. Russia
- 1:41:23Speaker 1: is getting more and more aggressive, going after Europeans and
- 1:41:28Speaker 1: challenging them and poking them, and so in Europe is
- 1:41:33Speaker 1: doing nothing so far about it. So it definitely could
- 1:41:36Speaker 1: be Russian sabotage. It could also be an accident, so
- 1:41:38Speaker 1: I don't want to assume. When we find out more,
- 1:41:41Speaker 1: if it is Russian sabotage, we can talk about it
- 1:41:44Speaker 1: more than all right, Michael, will this make Trump more
- 1:41:57Speaker 1: likely to finish off you?
- 1:41:58Speaker 5: On?
- 1:41:59Speaker 1: No? I think that's the that's the conspiracy theory idea
- 1:42:04Speaker 1: about why Israel promoted this uh, this, this assassination attempt
- 1:42:09Speaker 1: because they thought that it would make Trump more likely.
- 1:42:12Speaker 1: But no, I don't think anything. It is going to
- 1:42:15Speaker 1: be more likely. And remember he faces a real challenge
- 1:42:18Speaker 1: which is a consequence of his bad strategy and when
- 1:42:23Speaker 1: he launched the work, and the challenge is a real
- 1:42:26Speaker 1: reduction in munitions, a real shortage of ammunition uh to
- 1:42:32Speaker 1: attack you on worth and to defend American allies when
- 1:42:36Speaker 1: he won response, And that's real, and you can tell
- 1:42:39Speaker 1: it's real by that, by the by all the contracts,
- 1:42:43Speaker 1: the Pentagon is frantically, you know, signing with defense contractors
- 1:42:48Speaker 1: to build more munitions. They wouldn't be doing that if
- 1:42:50Speaker 1: they were no problems with munitions here. So they get
- 1:42:55Speaker 1: denied all they want. There is a problem with munitions.
- 1:42:57Speaker 1: So he faces that as well. And again the only
- 1:43:00Speaker 1: reason for that is is that they ran the First war,
- 1:43:03Speaker 1: the war badly, and they didn't end it quicker, and
- 1:43:06Speaker 1: they didn't open the street, and they didn't do it
- 1:43:10Speaker 1: was necessary to win it and win a fast Hopper Campbell.
- 1:43:15Speaker 1: Are Europeans too sophisticated to ever elect a clown like Trump?
- 1:43:20Speaker 1: Because America had a John Dewey, and Europe never had
- 1:43:23Speaker 1: a philosophic philosopher of education anywhere near as bad. No,
- 1:43:27Speaker 1: but you know, Europeans elected Hitler and they elected Mussolini.
- 1:43:33Speaker 1: They tolerated Mussolini and Hitler, they tolerated Franco, and they
- 1:43:38Speaker 1: elected socialist governments all over the place. So no, I
- 1:43:42Speaker 1: don't think Europeans are too sophisticated. I think you could
- 1:43:47Speaker 1: easily get a clown. I mean, what was Barbis Johnson
- 1:43:53Speaker 1: in England? I mean, not quite as bad as Trump,
- 1:43:56Speaker 1: but he was bad. So no, I don't I think
- 1:43:59Speaker 1: Europe is quite susceptible to this. Rowland says, come to
- 1:44:04Speaker 1: Switzerland and you'll learn to appreciate your twenty dollars burrito.
- 1:44:07Speaker 1: Switzerland is an expensive place to live. I mean, wages
- 1:44:10Speaker 1: are very high as well, but Switzerland is an expensive
- 1:44:13Speaker 1: place to live. And you know, so Roland, are you
- 1:44:18Speaker 1: inviting me to a expensive burrito when I come to
- 1:44:23Speaker 1: Switzerland next? So you're gonna buy me a thirty dollar
- 1:44:25Speaker 1: burrito in Switzerland? Forty dollars burrito with lobster and truffles.
- 1:44:32Speaker 1: Thomas says, value for value off work and cam can
- 1:44:39Speaker 1: catch you live. Thank you Thomas, I appreciate that I
- 1:44:45Speaker 1: like numbers says. When Tucker says he hates Christian Zionists
- 1:44:49Speaker 1: more than anyone else, isn't he trying to turn Christians
- 1:44:53Speaker 1: against Jews. Yes, he's trying to turn Christians against Jews.
- 1:45:00Speaker 1: He's trying to claim that the Christians who support Israel
- 1:45:05Speaker 1: are the worst of the worst. It's supporting Israel is
- 1:45:09Speaker 1: on Christian it's un American, and he's trying to turn
- 1:45:13Speaker 1: Americans against Israel, but also trying to turn Christians against Jews. JJGBS.
- 1:45:20Speaker 1: Isn't worth committing social suicide to opine on an issue
- 1:45:24Speaker 1: one has no control over them being pro data centers,
- 1:45:28Speaker 1: for example, essentially all of my peers consider DC's data
- 1:45:33Speaker 1: centers a plague and support them for them and support
- 1:45:38Speaker 1: for them as evil. I don't know what social suicide is.
- 1:45:46Speaker 1: I don't know why these people are value, why you
- 1:45:51Speaker 1: know you need them. I think it's important at every
- 1:45:57Speaker 1: opportunity to have this is how you change the culture,
- 1:46:01Speaker 1: to stand up for what you believe. And this is
- 1:46:04Speaker 1: an important belief about the ability of our economy and
- 1:46:10Speaker 1: therefore our well being to grow. And I think it's
- 1:46:14Speaker 1: important to stand up for that belief. So yes, I
- 1:46:16Speaker 1: think you should stand up against them. I'm for speaking out.
- 1:46:23Speaker 1: Solano says, yesterday you were wondering how Clivacula got popular.
- 1:46:29Speaker 1: He used clipping, paying editors to cut his streams into
- 1:46:33Speaker 1: short videos and flood TikTok with them. Most big streamers
- 1:46:37Speaker 1: and podcasters do this. Well, I do that not. I mean,
- 1:46:42Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't flood, but I do a
- 1:46:44Speaker 1: lot of YouTube shorts. There are a lot of YouTube
- 1:46:47Speaker 1: shorts of me out there. It hasn't got me the numbers.
- 1:46:51Speaker 1: Maybe I need to be on klik clock TikTok. Clinicular
- 1:46:55Speaker 1: spent about five hundred thousand on at least thirty k
- 1:46:59Speaker 1: videos in one month. Thirty thousand videos in my month.
- 1:47:03Speaker 1: YouTube would freak out if I did that. YouTube is
- 1:47:06Speaker 1: so anti flooding with shorts, it really is. It hates it.
- 1:47:13Speaker 1: Andrew Taite became popular the same way. All right, Yeah,
- 1:47:19Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to figure this out. Andrew Tuckum may
- 1:47:23Speaker 1: own twenty million annual income, but aside from selling his soul,
- 1:47:27Speaker 1: he's corrupted his mind. The rambling monologues full of non
- 1:47:33Speaker 1: sequitors indicates mental disintegration. Yeah, I agree, absolutely all right guys,
- 1:47:38Speaker 1: thanks to all the super chatters. We will meet again
- 1:47:42Speaker 1: tomorrow and with a new episode of the Iran Book Show,
- 1:47:48Speaker 1: News shows and yeah, if you have topics, if you
- 1:47:52Speaker 1: have videos you'd like me to comment on, send me links.
- 1:47:56Speaker 1: You at your on bookshow dot com. You on at
- 1:47:58Speaker 1: your on bookshow dot com. See tomorrow, Bye everybody,
