• 2:11
  Speaker 1: anything you want to say that you want me to
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: read aloud super Chat super chat. Yeah, all right. So
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Lincoln is cutting back on super Chats, and Peter is
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: cutting back on something a membership. He's canceled his membership.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: He was a member. He's canceled his membership because economy
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: is tight. I get it, I get it, all right,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Alejandro says, Somali Land, just recognize Israel. Such good news.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that's really funny, Alejandro. Somaliland is like a
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: non existent place in north north Somalia, which is a
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: place that is completely dominated by violence and anarchy, and
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Somaliland is this breakoff piece of Somalia kind of in
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the north. No country in the world recognize Somaliland as
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: a country, not that that matters. I mean, it's a
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: dysfunctional place, it's a crazy place. And earlier today Israel
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: became the first country in the world, the first country
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: in the world to recognize Somaliland, and now Somaliland in
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: return has recognized Israel. Good times are rolling. Now. There
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: was another angle to this, and that is a Somali land.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: It exists. It is geographically really really close to Yemen.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: It's it's it's not that far from Yemen, which means
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: it's really not far from the way the Hooties are.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: It is it is not quite on the streets there
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: on the narrowest part, but a little south of the
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: narrowest part, but the the Reread Sea where the Ittzya starts,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: so it's just underneath that. And for Israel, if Israel
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: could establish a base in Somali line, it would give
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Israel basically, you know, very very close proximity to the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: uties and much stronger, much more powerful capabilities to deal
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: with the Hooties when the time comes to deal with them,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: and the time will come. There's there's there's no question
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: about that. So there could be a strategic reason for
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Israel doing this, but really other than the fact of
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the geography Somali land is a there's nothing there and
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: as I said, it's it's like it's like Somalia. It's
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: split into these tribal influences. It's basically anarchy over there.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: There's no one government. Somaliland has declared itself separate from Somalia.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: But whether they can hold on to that or not,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: it is how to tell. Maybe is or will be
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: selling them some weapons arm systems to get them going. Oh,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I talk about conflicts out there in the world. Christmas Day,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: you know, Donald Trump basically sent against the world a
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: message that the United States now is not the policeman
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: of the world. No, no, no, that would be anti Maga.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: The United States is now a defender of all Christians.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: It is it is now willing to go to war
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: in the name of the Cross, in the name of Christianity.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I guess it's a new crusade. And as a consequence,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: in United States bombed supposedly some basis of an ISIS
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: affiliate group in northwest, not northeast northwest Nigeria. Now, Nigeria
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: is a complicated place and I am no expert in Nigeria.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I know very little about Nigeria. Other than that it
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: is the most populated, most populated, what most populated Arab
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: African country? Is that true? Is it more popular than Egypt?
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: It might be the most populated African country that's a
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: non Arab African country. It is. So it's a very
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: large country, and both rates are very high in Nigeria's.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: It's only going to get a bigger, a larger population
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: as we move forward. Nigeria is also a country that
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: is very much divided. It is a country that has
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: a large Muslim population and a large Christian population. I
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: don't know what the exact stats are in terms of
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: the percentage, and I don't know that anybody really has that,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: but it is it might be. Well here's a graph.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Let's see. According to this, we've got fifty five point
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: five percent of the country is Muslim. We've got thirty
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: five point five a Protestant. We've got about ten percent Catholics.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: That's forty five point five generally Christian, and then you've
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: got you've got the remaining which is you know, I
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: don't know what it is a small number, right because
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: forty five and fifty five and five is pretty much
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: ninety percent. So one hundred percent, so you know, there's
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: probably some small amount that is that is kind of native.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know old African religions. Muslims basically live in
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: the north, as you'd expect, right, Islam is in North Africa,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: so it's spread south. So a lot of these countries,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the northern parts of them are Muslim, southern parts are Christian.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: It was Christianized by European colonists in the nineteenth century.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: And so basically what you have is a country that's
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: very much split. Let's say, you know, fifty forty five
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Muslim to Christian. The wealthy part of the country is
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: in the south. That's also where there the energy is.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: That the oilers, which is what I think funds much
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: of the wealth in the country is is energy. It's
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: also a there is a very highly educated minority within Nigeria,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: and Nigeria was I think a British colony. English is
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: spoken there. They have an English educational system which some
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: people benefit from, primarily I think in the South. So
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: there is a there's definitely a religious divide and other divides.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Muslims have been attacking Christian communities within Nigeria for years
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: and years you've probably heard of Bookaham, which is an
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Islamist group affiliated with ISIS and al Qaida, which has
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: been attacking and kidnapping Christian girls, you know, and and
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: either marrying them after Muslim the Muslims enslaving them, or
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: just using them in order to in order to to
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: what do you call it, to get money for their release.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: This has been going on for a very long time.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Recently so this has been primarily Bocaho primarily functions in
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: the northeast of the country, the northeast of the country. Recently,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: in the northwest of the country, a couple of a
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: couple of Islamist groups affiliated with ISIS have established themselves
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: both kind of related in some way to the Islamic State, indirectly,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: indirectly or directly, but in some ways related to them.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: The United States chose to target these groups, or at
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: least one of these groups during this attack. So the
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: two hoops, you know, one is an off shoot a
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: booka Haram uh and Uh and it's it's and then
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: there's another one called Islamic States shal Province i s
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: s p P locally known a Lahua. Anyway, that's the
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: one it appears that the United States attacked during Christmas.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: The message was stop killing Christians. Uh. And of course
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Trump had a whole statement about how this is the
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: most powerful attack in history and we killed a lot
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: of the enemies of Christianity, and and we will not
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: stand by as Christians are slaughtered in Africa, and on
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: and on and on and on. The reality is the
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: United States has no appetite for getting into a war
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: in Nigeria. While Nigerians, I think, accepted this one attack,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I don't think that Nigerians are particularly interested in the
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: United States coming in and helping them out with these
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: terrorist attacks. Remember, fifty five percent of Nigeria is Muslim.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: The government is, on the one hand, fighting against Islamic terrorism.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: On the other hand, it also has to make sure
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: that the Muslims that live there are not going to
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: rebel against the government. So they have a fine line.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: The Europeans are interested in kind of quiet in Africa.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: They would like to see Africa developed, They'd like to
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: see Africa become richer and as a consequence, reduce the
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: amount of number of immigrants from Sub Sahara Africa that
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: are migrating north through the Sahawa Desert. Across the Mediterranean
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: into Europe as illegal immigrants. So everybody has an interesting
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: kind of quieting things down in Africa and letting economic
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: development happen there. But it's turning out to be incredibly difficult,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: incredibly difficult, and so far, so far, you know, this
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: area is rife with warfare and tribal hatred and tribal
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: violence and violence between Muslims and Christians, and it probably
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: goes both ways. And Thenwgerian military is struggling to deal
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: with these terrorists. And now the United States has stepped
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: in done some bombing. I mean, I think this is
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: a this is like, this is great pr for Trump.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: He gets to tell his base defending Christians and all
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: those people who listen to Taka, who think, you know,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Christians are the victims all over the world, primarily of
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: a Zionist conspiracy, but victims all over the world. Trump
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: can then appeal to them and say, see, I'm fighting
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: on your side. This is a Christian government fighting for Christians.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: It's really nothing more than that, right, I mean, there's
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: no there's one. Bombing is not going to change anything.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: It's not going to make the Isis suddenly give up
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: The United States has lost strategic positions within Africa and Niger,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: which is not Nigeria. Niger, which is a border with Nigeria.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: The United States had a base there where where it
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: was launching drones from. It lost that base when the
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Niger government kicked There was a there was a military
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: coup and the new leaders kicked out the Americans. Why
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: the United States is in Africa is not clear if
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: it really wants to fight ISIS or prevent ISIS from
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: getting established in Africa. It really needs to. It needs
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: It would need to have a lot more forces than
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: it has there now. It would need to it would
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: need to crush the funders of ISIS and the intellectual
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: origins of ISIS. And for that they would need to
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: they would need to deal with people like the Kataris
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: and others in the Middle East, which the United States
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: is clearly not interested in doing. So. This is this
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: attack which you'll care a lot about, people are talking
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: a lot about. It's symbolic, it's it's a raw, raw
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: moment for Trump. He likes, he likes to drop bombs.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think he really enjoys it, particularly when
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: there's no risk of American casualties. No risk of really,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: you know, really descending into any kind of real war.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Blowing boats out of the Caribbean Sea. They really enjoy that.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: They you know, sending missiles into uh, into the Nigerian
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know, jungle wilderness whatever it is, and blowing
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: up some Islamis. I think they enjoy that all in
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: the name, of course, of defending Christianity or defending American
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: from fent and all, or whatever the excuse happens to be.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: But nothing more or nothing much will come of this.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying this is the last time I make
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: a bombni G but this is not a new war.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: They're not gonna engage in it fully, Uh. They They're
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: just gonna again symbolic so he can say he's defending Christians. Uh.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Cost a lot of money. Whatever missiles they used, and
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: haven't seen any evidence to suggest or anything saying what
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: they used cus missiles probably or or I don't think
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: it was drones. I think it was Krus missils. There's
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: no suggestion of of you know, what exactly they were
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: and how much they cost and what was the damage.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: It's not clear what the damage was and what is
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: the long term purpose here unclear, unclear. Uh, you know
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: this terrorist organization look controls territories in two states and
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: they kill, they kidnap, they rape, their armed robbery. So yeah,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: all the power to anybody who can who can kill them,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: kill them and destroy them. But again, to really rid
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Nigeria and the Christians in Nigeria of this menace of
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: this horrific terrorist organization require a lot more than a
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: little bit of bombing on Christmas Day and then walking away,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: which is I'm sure what the United States is going
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: to do. Maybe this is bolstering the Nigerian military, giving
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: them a little bit of a little bit of confidence
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: in heart to tell all right, let's see. Yeah, I mean,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: there is a lot of complexity to what's going on
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: in Nigeria, but there's no question there's a significant religious
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: time mention to this and whatever the conflict there, the
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: underlying tribal conflicts that are going on in Nigeria between
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: no man's and farmers and other things isis you know,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Islamic State and and other islam missed terrorist groups are
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: going to take advantage of it. So they're there and
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: they're taking advantage of it. It's not clear if Nigeria
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: asked for help. After the fact, they're saying it was
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: coordinated with them, but they're not. They're not saying they
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: asked explicity for help. I don't think they they I
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: don't think they did. I don't think they wanted. I
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: think Trump basically said we're going to do this, and
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: they said, well, what are we going to do? So yeah, okay,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: go ahead, you know, just don't make this a habit.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: But we'll see, We'll see, all right. Over the week.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Over the last few days, I've seen a bunch of
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: stories about kots has influence campaigns in the United States,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: and the amount of funding that they are just expending
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: around US is truly stunning, and the number of people
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: that they are lining up. I've seen some official documents.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: You know, if you lobby on behalf of a if
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: you lobby on behalf of PHNT government, you have to
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: register in the United States. And for example, we know
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: now that KATSA is paying eighty eight thousand dollars a
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: month a month, in other words, nine hundred and sixty
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: dollars a nine sixty thousand dollars a year to several
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: former Congressmen Jim Moran, Tim McMillan, Tom Davis, Tom Reynolds,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: nine hundred and sixty thousand dollars. God, I should become
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: a congressman. I should, I should run for Congress. I mean,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: it's an incredibly lucrative business. Not why you're in Congress.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: You have to be in Congress a little while and
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: then you leave, and then you become a lobbyist, and
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: then again the Katai is coming in giving you because
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: nine hundreds sixty thousand dollars. I mean a lot of
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: people would sell their soul to the devil, never mind
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: to Katau for nine hundred and sixty thousand dollars a year.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, that is it. You do a few years
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: like that and you're done. Uh anyway, see you got
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: you got four former congressmen, uh, you know working for
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: kata And that's you know, just and and that's just
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: partial list of all the different people that that they've
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: got listed here in terms of you know, taking phone
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: calls and and and and dealing with Katawi issues. So
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: so it really is, it really is amazing the number
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: of people that they have on their payroll. In addition,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: and this kind of surprised me, but I guess nothing
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: should surprise me. Bennett. Remember William Ballnett, Bill Bennett. He
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: must be pretty old now, But Bill Bennett, you know,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: a mainstay of Republican politics was education secretary, and Reagan
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: wrote those books about kind of morality stories for kids,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: with some good stuff in there, some bad stuff in
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: They're very religious, quite religious. He's eighty two. According to
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: neb Sampson, he's eighty two years old. Anyway, it turns
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: out that he is being paid thirty thousand dollars a month,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: a lot cheaper. I don't know, maybe because he's eighty
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: two and can't really work that hard. Maybe this is
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: just a part time job. He's being paid thirty thousand
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: dollars a month by the Qataris that, you know, to
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: convince Americans that Katari universities don't support Islamic extremism. That's
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: explicity in his charter. Intos what he's supposed to do. God,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: how much would they pay me? You know? Maybe this
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: is how this is how I really retire. I go
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: in the payroll of katl. Now this is a headline
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: for New York Posts, so granted, you know, it could
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: be fake, writes The New York Post says, how to tell,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: but it could be also be true given everything else
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: that's going on. According to this this is the headline,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Kata allegedly hired x CIA agent to discredit Senator Chad
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Kuz and other lawmakers opposed to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Uh so yeah, with that shock anybody if that was true? No,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: not at all, not at all. Of course we know,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Oh we suspect strongly, strongly. Uh that tucka is is
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: on the payroll. Who knows. Maybe Candas is getting some
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: some crumbs here and there. I don't know. They might
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: not have to pay Candace to be as anti Semitic
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: as she is. That might be just just natural, come
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: natural to her. But but maybe they had to pay Tucker.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Uh maybe they had to compete with Putin in order
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: to pay Tucker to see who could who could get
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: more of his attention. I think Cats won. He hasn't
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: spoken positively that much about Putin recently. I don't know
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: if Nick foyintis Again. I don't know that they have
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: to pay nikfo intus. I think he does it for free.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Like how much would they have to pay me? I mean,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: it would cost a lot more than eighty a month, right,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: some assault the devil would the price be? Yeah? So also,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: you know you find if you if you dig hard enough,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: on a lot of kind of the anti Israel, anti
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: American Twitter accounts now that you can imagine and click
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: on them and and find out where they're based. Uh,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's really interesting to do it. Today. There's
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: this one account called Israel Exposed is all exposed, and
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: it comes across as an American and if you support Israel,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: he'll come out and say, oh, you're in Israel. First,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: we should deport you from America. All this stuff. And
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: now you can click on Israel Exposed and you'll find
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: that it's in a count based in Saudi Arabia. So, uh,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: we live in a in a what would you call
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: propaganda rich environment, propaganda rich world where a lot of
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: what you read is very hard to tell, h how
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: much of it is being bought and paid for and
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: how much is actually real? And it is. It is fascinating,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: of course, fascinating that a media many people on the
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: right and on the left obsessed about apac they're obsessed
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: about is really lobbying that happened on behalf of visual
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: APAC is funded not by the Israeli government. APEC is
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: funded by American Jews or Americans more broadly. But it's
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: it's lobbying for Israel generally. Isn't it fascinating that it
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: constantly you hear about APEX influence on the American government.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: And I bet you anything that APEX only spends a
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: fraction a fraction of what countries like Katar and Saudi
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Arabia and other countries like that are spending, are spending.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: So yeah, they are. Who is lying? Somebody is accusing
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: somebody of lying. Tucker never took any money, he said,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: he isn't. Teka lies more than he tells the truth.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Taka lies more than he tells the truth. Now, I
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: don't know if he took money or not. You know,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know that he needs to take money. I mean,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: he he is. He makes a lot of money in
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: a show anyway, But to take Tucker's would at anything,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: given the absolute unmitigated lies that he tells on a
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: regular basis about pretty much everything, and just how just
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: how despicable and uh anti any values the man has become.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: And but you know, it's just unbelievable that you would
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: take anything he says on face value. It's not it's
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: not a bad idea to lie about something you can
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: easily be exposed to. Trump every single day lies about
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: things that are easy to expose him. He doesn't care
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Tucker lies. He doesn't care because he gets your attention.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: People like you make Tucker's lying possible because you don't care.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: The reality is that Americans who listening to TAKA, there
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: are millions of people who watch TACA, don't care about lyings.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: They don't watch TUCA because because they seek the truth.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: They watched Tucker because they want whatever he is dishing out,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: the kind of propaganda, the kind of bias, the kind
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: of you know, ill informed lying that he engages, and
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: that's exactly what they want. They're getting exactly what they
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: signed up for. But you know, when when when Trump
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: says something like tell us of one in eighteen trillion dollars,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, that is an obvious, easily checkable, easily under
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: you know, discovered lie, and he keeps repeating it. It
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter saying one iota. But he lies all the time.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: And you know, Tucker's basically the same thing. I mean,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: he always he's a little bit more sensitive to asking questions,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: remember asking questions. But he's lying. He's evasive, evading, disingenuous. Uh,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: and the worst kind of liar. I mean, think about
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: the supermarket story. Think about this. People want to hear
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: all sides of the argument, but he has no argument,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: and there is no other side. There is truth all
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: sides of the argument. Is one of the lamest, stupidest
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: thing I've ever heard. Like, I want to hear maybe
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Hitler was a good guy who knows, we don't know.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Let's hear. Let's hear Hitler's side of the argument. Really,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: it's just Stallins side of the argument. Let's here the
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, who's a big named serial killer. Let's hear
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: the serial killer's side of the argument. Maybe there's some
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: justification for you know, raping and butchering young women. God,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: why would you want to hear any of that? I mean,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: that just shows how unthinking our culture has become, how emotionalist, subjectivist,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: relativists this culture has become. What is the value of
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: hearing untruth? What is the value of hearing lies? What
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: is the value of hearing people, you know, spew evil nonsense?
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: There is none, zero results, not a but we live
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: in a culture where people enjoy wasting their time. Wasting
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: their time, you know, to to to make up your
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: mind about Hitler, you don't need to hear a Nazi.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Maybe a bunch of history books. You can even read
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Mine Couf. Why even why even you know, listen to
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: historian read Mine Kauff. You can actually check out some
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: of his speeches. There are transcripts of Hitler's speeches. You
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: can you can do it firsthand. Why would you want
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: to listen to a to an evil intellectual trying to
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: justify the horrors of not of Hitler anyway? You know,
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: this is a candle uh is just rationalizing, rationalizing his
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: uh you know, his interest in in the subjective as
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: the relativists, the the evil and just trying to justify
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: uh Taka and the rest of them. Hi uh. Yeah.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: A few things about anti Semitism that came out over
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: the last few days. So it's the tech of course
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: for Jdvan's not Tucker jed Evans. Of course, it's kind
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: of stuck in this position where he doesn't want to
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: comment on the anti Semitism because he doesn't want to
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: upset the Tucker Carson fans who Tucker's a huge support
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: of Jady Van says, I don't know what his views are.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know that anybody knows what actually Jdvans thinks.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: He went after Nick foyintus, but only because Nick Fointis,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: you know, went after his wife, but not after Nick
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Pointis in terms of any of the ideas or any
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: of his substances stuff. So he's got this what does
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: he do with anti Semitism? So basically he came out
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: with the statement, you know, a few couple of days
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: ago saying almost no American's anti Semitic, and and really
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: all of this is just it's just people are using
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: this just as an excuse not to you know, not
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: to not to discuss US policy and Israel. She's taking
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: techer Cousin's line. No, no, none of this is anti symmetrism,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: I know, deal with anti semitism. Techer Costun tells us,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: I'm just asking questions about US support for Israel. You know,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: all everything that Israel, you know, everything that Israel does,
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: US maybe shouldn't support Israel. And that's the conversation. But
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: of course that has nothing to do with the conversation.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: This is not about US support for Israel. This is
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: all about preaching hatred for Israel and by extension, for Jews.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: Tucker Cosson does not only talk about Israel. He talks
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: about Jews more broadly, but he loves talking about Israel,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: and he lies explicitly about Israel. I mean, there was
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: this great segment where he was talking about how in
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Katau Christians treated better than Christians are treated in Israel,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: which is just one lie after lie after lie, easily debunked,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: easily found out. You can ask GROC, can ask GPT,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: or you could travel to kata and you can travel
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: to Israel and check it out yourself. So you know,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: he clearly lies about Israel in order to create a
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: certain attitude about Israel. You know, the most recent example
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: of this is that gets the former congressman, the wacky
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: former congressman who had to withdraw from from I think
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump woanted to make him attorney general, which is bizarre,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: and he had to withdraw from that because even Republicans,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: who typically do everything Donald Trump tells them to do,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: wouldn't vote for Matt Goetz as as as attorney general. Anyway,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Matt Guts in his h in if you were teching
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: out has said that, you know, the accusations that he
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: that he the uh you know, had sex with underage
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: prostitutes and trafficked underage goals, you know, those accusations that
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: there was a whole congressional investigation about. Well, it turns
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: out you will be shocked to discover that all of that,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: all of that was an attempt by Israel to Israeli operatives, uh,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: to he can look bad. This was all a in
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: an Israeli undercover operation, uh to make him look bad. Right,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: And Techer Carlson in the interview is going along with
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: this completely. He's not asking questions, he's not challenging anything.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: You know, Matt Getz is just making stuff up. And
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: I mean the US never investigated it into Israel's involvement,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: and yeah, this was all. You know, Matt Getz is
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: really just a nice guy. He's just a friendly guy.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: He doesn't use prostitutes at all, and he's certainly not
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: in the underage ones, and he doesn't traffic in any goes.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: He's just you know, all of that was just an
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Israeli mosade, you know, story to discredit him because I
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: don't know he was asking questions, remember, asking questions, asking
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: questions about Israel, and these Raelings won't tolerate that, so
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: they immediately go, you know, and and you know, I
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: won't be surprised if next it's going to be Jeffrey
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: Epstein actually worked for these really Mossad. Oh no, no,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: we've already that's already been covered. They've already they've already
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: tried that angle. It turns out that in all the
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: hundreds of or hundreds of thousands of documents so far
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: released about Jeffrey Epstein, nothing indicates that he actually worked
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: for these really Mossad. Maybe that's because these really Masad
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: has covered the tracks so damn well that but we
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: know it's there, we know the evidence is there, just
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: amount of time before it comes out. Supposedly there's still
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: a million more documents to be released in the Jeffrey
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Epstein issue. Look, you know, so you know JP jd
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Vance wants to say, Antie says was overstated. Just a
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: few days after the Bondi Beach murders, he is criticizing
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: people who are especially concern you know, we should we
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: shouldn't really make a big deal out of this. He
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: is he is treading a very fine line, right, treading
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: a very fine line, and it's going to be interesting.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: He's trying to maintain the pro Israel magabase and the
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: anti Israel mega base and trying to trying to somehow
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: juggle and keep them both up in the air. At
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: the same time also doing a lot of juggling. Is
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: is is making Kelly, so making Kelly is now saying, look, yeah,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: there is anti Semitism, but anti Semitism is actually being created.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: It's been created by Shapiro and Barry Weiss. That is,
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Shapiro and Barry Weiss are making anti Semites because of
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: how obnoxious they are. It's not Taco Is making anti Semites.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: It's not Tucker spewing antisemitic lies and rewarding and encouraging
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: anti semitism. No, no, no, no. It's Shapiro and Weiss.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Because they're defending Israel and because they're attacking Tucker, and
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: because they're standing up of their values, they are creating
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: anti Semitism in response to them. It's not Candas Owen,
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: No no, no. Candas is not convincing anybody. She's not
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: creating any anti Semets. It's the people trying to defend themselves.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: It's the people pointing out the anti Semitism of Candace
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: and the antiseematism of Tucker. They're the ones creating the
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: anti Semitism. This follows an ancient pattern of anti Semitism
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: the Jews that are blame. What did Barry Weiss do she?
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: You know, she defends Israel and she attacks Tucker Cawson
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: and candas own. I mean, it's an ancient pattern of
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: blaming the Jews for their own destruction. Why would Jews
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: kicked out of England? Oh? I don't know, but they
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: must have done something. Why would England kick them out
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: like England kicked them out in the thirteenth century or
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: something for two hundred years. We know Jews in England.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Why did the Holocaust happen? Well, Jews must have done something.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, you don't get six million people and they
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: can't really be innocent. There has to be something that
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: they did. Why are Tucker Causon and Candace blaming Jews
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: for killing Charlie Coco asking just asking questions? Well, they
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: can't be fully innocent. Maybe they didn't like Charlie. Maybe
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: they conspied against Charlie. Maybe they thought about killing Charlie.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: Maybe there's something there that's not completely dismissed. This unbelievable,
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: the how low making Kennedy has descended, have descended. Uh,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: it's it's Jews are always blamed for their own persecution,
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: always blame for their own persecution. Uh, it's always their fault,
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: always their fault. I mean yep, And you know, look, Uh,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: I'll just I'll just say this and we'll go on.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: But anti Semitism is becoming a real powerful force out
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: there on the left and on the right. For right podcasters, Uh,
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: it monetizes, well, it gets you a lot of views
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: and a lot of attention. Now granted there's a lot
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: of bots involved and a lot of those Katari influenced campaigns,
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: but it gets attention. It might be, it might be caught.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: It might even be China. China loves to stir things
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: up in the United States destabilize American institutions. So it's
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: on the left, it's on the right, it's in college campuses,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: it's uh, it's in Maga, it's all over the place.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: And it's not a good sign for culture. When this
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: becomes a you know, when this becomes a real feature
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: of the culture and the debates and the discussions going on.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: The good news is that it's still a minority, right,
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: but it's a growing minority, and it's a it's a
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: it's a ever growing and becoming more significant, influential minority.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: And when somebody like the Vice President of the United
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: States refuses to condemn it and belittles it and provide
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: sanction for anti Semitis themselves, then it's a real problem.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: It's beyond just a nuisance or a bad sign. It
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: becomes now something that becomes part of the culture and
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: something we have to be really worried about as we
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: move forward. Well, the New York Times, I mean, we
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: all know The New York Times is a bias newspaper.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: We all know that The New York Times is left
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: of center, quite sometimes very left of center on some stories,
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: but generally left. Generally, it's going to be critical of
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: Trump and critical of Republican governments generally. Sometimes it's horrifically left,
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: and sometimes it's just modernly biased, but it is. It
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: is one of the few, very few news organizations out
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: there that actually does in depth reporting. And one of
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: your jobs as a reader and consumer of information is
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: to take into account the bias that you know that
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: exists and adjust for it. But the reality is that
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: without entities like the New York Times, and almost all
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: of them are left biased, there is very little kind
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: of the in depth reporting, you would get very little,
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: if any, in depth reporting about issues. And of course,
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: you know, the New York Times has really doven deep
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: into the Epstein files, the Jeffrey Epstein files, and they
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: come out a number of stories based on the released information,
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: and one of them was a story about the relationship
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: between Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. I mean, the article itself
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: never really accuses Trump of anything any you know, any
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: in a sense illegal behavior, let's put it that way.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: But it does point out that for many years something
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: that seems irrefutable Trump had. It was a very close
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: friend of Jeffrey Epstein's, traveled on his plane way many
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: more times than he admits to. This is all probably
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: in the nineties and the early two thousands, so before
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: it seems like it's before Epstein was accused of anything
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: legally got into legal trouble. But they did an in
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: depth piece on Trump and jeff Jy Epstein and how
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: close they were for a long, long time. And this
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: is of course Trump's response. I mean, this is about
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: as an American response as it gets. The failing New
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: York Times, and they lies and purposeful miss representation is
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: a serious threat to national security. Foundation. Now here's another
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: example of Trump just lying, blatantly, lying, blatantly lyn and
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: national security threat to the state. Now we'll get to
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: what that means in a minute. He continues, the radical left,
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: unhinged behavior writing fake articles and opinions a never ending way,
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: must be dealt with and stopped. They are a true
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: enemy of the people. They are true animated people. All caps.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: Thank you for the attention in this matter. The note
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: what this note untrue social does? It basically says that
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: the New York Times need to be stopped, stop writing
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: stories that Donald Trump does not like, stop writing stories
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: that criticize Donald Trump, or that Donal Trump believes a
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: fake and it's positioned as a national security threat. Now,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: if this in and of itself just a statement is
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: not a violation of the First Amendment, I don't know
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: what is. When the president of the United States, carrying
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: a very big stake, or a very big gun, as
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: the case may be, threatens a major publication with being
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: stopped because of national security risks, when of course there's
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: no national security at stake. That is a direct threat
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: to their freedom of speech, that is a direct threat
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: to their First Amendment rights. I mean, if that doesn't
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: cause what's called the chilling self censorship, people starting to
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: limit what they can and cannot say because they're afraid
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: that Donald Trump will come after them. I mean, in
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: many respects, Donald Trump, at least in his statements, in
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: his lawsuits and his attacks through the legal system on
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: law firms. I can't think, at least in my lifetime,
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: of a more anti free speech president. This makes in
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: my view, this makes what Biden did, which was horrific,
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: horrific visavi Twitter looked like child's play. This is so
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: much more effective, so much more destructive. And of course
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: this explains why Barry Weiss kills the story at CBS
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: to a large extent, because CBS has already settled a
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: lawsuit that Trump filed against them regarding a sixty minutes story.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: They don't want another lawsuit, so they self discipline to
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: cut stuff that is overly critical of Donald Trump and
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: his administration because they're afraid are being stopped and being
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: dealt with through lawsuits. And remember you don't it's very
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: rare the lawsuit like this goes to court. I mean,
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: I wish they did all the way to Supreme Court.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: They should be viewed as violation of through this amendment.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: But instead they're settled because it's very, very expensive to
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: try these cases. Trump I think has a billion dollar
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: lawsuit against the New York Times, I think, or was
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: it It was thrown out. I think a judge threw
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: it out already. So but it's intimidating intimidation. And this
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: again is what I mentioned this a few shows ago.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: This is what the right has learned from the experience
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: of Obon and Putin. You can intimidate yourself. You can
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: use intimidation and ownership by friends and family to basically
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: shut down independent media. And that's what happened in Hungary.
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: And of course that plus real violence is what happened
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: in Putsins Russia. All Right, unbelievable that he can tweet
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: what he tweets national security risk, you know, a serious
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: threat to the national security of our nation. He can
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: say they need to be stopped, and again it gets
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: almost no real explosion. All right, this is kind of
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: a funny story. So there's a there's a problem in
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: the world right now. Right birth rates are plumbting, women
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: are not you know, couples are not having enough children,
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: women are not having enough children, populations that collapse in
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: place like South Korea and elsewhere, and even the United States,
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: people are really worried about people are not having enough babies. Well,
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: it turns out that some billionaires have a solution to this.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: We certainly know that alone Mosque is trying to single
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: handedly solve this problem. He's got I think fourteen children
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: by three different wives, and I think more probably on
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: the way. But he is an amateur as compared to
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: some of these others. Two in particular, we've got one,
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: Pavel Duo. Pavel Duov is the owner CEO of Telegram.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: He's the guy who got arrested I think in France.
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: Was it a year ago, six months ago, I can't
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: tell the time, And he got arrested and because of
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: Telegram supposedly being used for money laundering and stuff like that,
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: child pornography. But I'm not sure. I haven't followed the
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: court case. I'm not sure what happened anyway. Pavel is
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: claiming that he has over one hundred biological kids. Now
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: he has not done this through the same mechanism as
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: Elon Mosque. But here here is his pavel's story as
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: he's expressed it on telegram. Fifteen years ago, a friend
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: of mine approached me with a weird request. He said
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: that he and his wife couldn't have kids due to
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: a fertility issue and asked me to donate sperm at
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: a clinic for them to have a baby. I left
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: my ass off before realizing he was dead serious. The
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: boss of the clinic told me that high quality donor
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: material was in truth supply and it was my civic
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: duty to donate more spum to anonymously help more couples.
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: Now this sounded crazy enough to get me to sign
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: up for sperm donation. Fast forward to twenty twenty four.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: My past donating activity has helped over one hundred couples
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: in twelve countries to have kids. Moreover, many years after
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: I stop being a donum, at least one IVF clinic
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: still has my frozen spum available for anonymous use by
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: families who want to have kids. Now, I plan to
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: open source my DNA so that my biological children can
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: find each other more easily. Of course they are risks,
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: but I don't regret having been a donum. The shortage
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: of healthy spum has become an increasingly serious issue worldwide,
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: and I'm proud that I did my power to help
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: alleviate it. I also want to help destigmatize the whole
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: notion of spum donation and incentivize more healthy men to
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: do it so that family struggling to have kids can
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: enjoy more options, defy convention, redefine the norm. So he
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: is with the spum in high quality. You know, he's
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: a really smart guy. I suppose he really high quality
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: is out there. You can still get his sprom if
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: any of you are interested out there from the Ultra
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: Vita clinic. And supposely this last summer, during an interview
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: with a French magazine, he's announced he's actually announced that
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: his biological children, that is, these hundred kids all going
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: to receive an equal share of his inheritance. Now, Forbes
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: pegs his wealth is seventeen billion. He divide that by
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: one hundred, that is still one hundred and seventy million each.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: Right now, of course, all of that depends on the
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: value of telegram and who knows what telegram is actually worth.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: But he also owns a lot of bitcoin from what
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: we've heard that he bought in twenty thirteen. Who knows
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: what that's worth, given that he bought it in twenty thirteen.
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: So now with DNA tests, you can check to see
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: if you're af young enough, if you're a child of
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: of the Telegram ceo, and maybe you can collect uh,
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: you know, a nine figure payday when doo of dies.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: Of course he could change his mind by then. But
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean, now this has become uh, this
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: became a story h in a but on top of it,
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: this became a story and others are also doing it
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: right in terms of not just phone donation. But now
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: there's a whole slegacy. Uh, there's a whole sugacy industry
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: that is that exists in the United States, which it
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: turns out Chinese billionaires are taking advantage of the Wall
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: Seat Journal had a series of articles and all this stuff.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: So it turns out that there's a Chinese billionaire that
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: they called Shoe Boo x Ubo x U one word
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: b oh another word right, uh, that has basically paid
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: couples all over California to have his children as surrogates
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: the Chinese billionaire. So you know, we're surrogates. A judges
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: to sign off on the paternal on the paternal rights,
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: I guess, and usually it's just a formality. But in
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: this case, in this case, the judge noticed that the
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: same book, Chinese billionaire was seeking paternal rights over four
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: unborn children. And then the court did a little bit
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: more research and they found that he had fathered eight
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: other children, all through surrogates in the United States, and
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: you know, the the uh, several of his kids, for example,
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: are being raised by nannies in Ovine, California as they
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: wait peoperwork to travel to China. And so the judge
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: is now denied his requests for parentage, you know. And
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: so these babies, these four babies don't have a parent, right,
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: they're not, they're not the surrogan isn't a parent, and
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: he's denied the parentage of the biological parent, and they
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: kind of legal limbo. It's not what's going to happen
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: to them. But what turns out is there are a
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: number of these Chinese billionaires who are now in a
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: sense having anchor babies in the United States. They are
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: hiring surrogates in the US. Now, the US, as compared
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: to other countries, has a fair loose or fairly free
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: looses the wrong word free surrogate laws. You can you
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: can hire a surrogate to have your kids, which is
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: not the case in a lot of other places. So
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: there are a number of Chinese parents are paying millions
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: in surrogate's fee to hire women in the United States
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: to help them build a family. And the one of
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: the benefits of this is that the kids are US
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: citizens because they're born in the United States. So you know,
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: there's another Chinese executive one who woe something like that.
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: He hired US models and others as egg donors to
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: have ten goals with the aim of one day marrying
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: them off to powerful men. Again, according to people in
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: his kind of executive circle Chinese clients. This is from
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: the Wall stat Jene article. Usually seeking more typical numbers
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: of children high powered executives lacking the time and inclination
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: to bear their own children, older parents or same sex couples.
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: According to people who arrange sugacy deals and work in
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: sogacy law, so you know, all have their wealth to
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: go outside of China, they maintain their privacy. And yeah,
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: the United States is the best market to do this
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: again because you get citizenship and because again the laws
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: are pretty favorable to surrogacy. The market's gown so sophisticated,
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: according to the Wall Steat Gien article, that at times
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: Chinese parents have had us born children without stepping foot
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: in the country. A thriving mini industry of American surrogacy agency,
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: law firms, clinics, delivery agency and nanny services even to
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: pick up the newborns. Hospital has risen to accommodate the
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: demanding permitting parents to ship the genetic material abroad and
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: get a baby delivered back at a cost of up
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: to and in some cases more than two hundred thousand
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: dollars per child. The going Asian market for international fertility
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: services has drawn the attention of American investors, including Peter Teel,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: whose family officers back the chain of IVF clinics across
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: Southeast Asia and recently opened up a branch in Los Angeles.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: So maybe this is you know, maybe you know, these
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: uh not quite test you babies yet. But the solution,
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: of course, the facility problem is going to be taste
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: you babies and people. You know, ultimately you will need
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: a womb in order to create a baby. You'll be
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: able to do it all outside of a woman's womb,
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: and you'll be able to you'll be able to to
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: have as many babies as you want without going through pregnancy.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: And I think that'll that'll increase the number of children
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: people are willing to have. Now, there's already, of course,
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: a bill in Congress to ban the use of celegacy
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: in the US white people from foreign countries, particularly China,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: And so this is something that Congress is looking at.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: And yeah, so billionaires around the world having lots of
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: kids in different ways, either through spun donations, sleeping with
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: a bunch of different women, or in the case here
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: of actually just hiring somebody in California to have your baby,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: sending them a genetic material, doing it all, hiring nannies
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: to take care of them, and them shipping them back
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: to China with a brand new minted US passport. It's
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: pretty amazing, pretty amazing. All right, let's see, we'll do
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: these quickly. So Zelensky, it sounds like Zelenski is traveling
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: tomorrow ago this weekend to meet with Trump, to try
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: to finalize the finalize the Ukrainian peace deal that you know,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: so a deal that Ukrainian Ukraine is willing to sign
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: off that then we'll go to Russia to get russia approval.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: H Zelensky is still uncomfortable with the idea of giving
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: up vast amounts of territory and just giving it to
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: the Russians, and he's trying to come and convince Trump
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: that that is really unacceptable. But you know, we'll see.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: They're going to meet on Sunday to finalize this. It
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: does sound like whatever is finalized, which will involve territory
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: concessions by Ukraine. There is no doubt about that. Now
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: that it's clear that the United States were not back
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: Ukraine in actually fighting this war, I think Ukraine has
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: no choice. In the Europeans too cowardly to fully back them.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: I think again, Ukraine has no choice. Zolensky is saying
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: that once he agrees with Trump and if the Russians
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: agree to it, which I think is still unlikely, then
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: Zolenski will take the plan to a nationwide referendum. He
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: can't give up land without a referendum. He's willing to
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: do that. Only if Russia agrees to a cease fire
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: of at least sixty days so that they can set
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: up the Ukrainians can set up the infrastructure to actually
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: get a vote on this. So Trump's plan is going
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: to mean some territorial concessions from Ukraine in the east.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: It's just a question of how many. That's why Zelenski's
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: coming to Malago to determine how much concession. But they're
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: going to have to do this referendum to get a past.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: It's not clear to anybody that Russia is going to
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: agree to this plan, and I doubt that they will.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: And I think that's why Zelenski is kind of agreeing
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: to this stuff, because I think he thinks he'd rather
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: agree to it and let Putin kill the deal, because
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: he hopes that then Trump will side with him and
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: not with Putin. He's an optimist. This agreement includes significant,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: you know, security guarantees to Ukraine, hopefully more secure than
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: past security guarantees, you know. According to Zelenski said, I
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: think we are ready with the security guarantee documents. This
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: would be security guarantees that would be a bilateral agreement
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: between the US and Ukraine. There's still something, he says,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: some tech things they have to deal with. For example,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: how long will the security guarantees last? The US has
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: proposed a fifteen year agreement. Is Zelinsky would like more
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: than fifteen years. You know, we'll see, And you know,
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: Zelenski definitely wants US security guarantees, not European security guarantees.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: He also, of course is praising wit Coffin Kushner. He's
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: learned the game. The game is you have to continuously,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: you know, continuously praise anybody related to Trump. So anyway,
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: we will see, well, no more at the end of
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: this weekend. And of course it's not clear how the
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: Ukrainians will vote if there's a referendum. It's not clear
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: how the Ukrainians will vote. Also on Sunday, the European
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: leaders expected to zoom in. But you know, uh well, no,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: I guess European leaders are going to have a conversation
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: with Trump on Saturday to get everyone up to speed,
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: and then the Lensky will meet with Trump on Sunday.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: Uh so we'll see, we'll see how his relationship is
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: with Trump. And it depends whether JD. Evans shows up
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: or not. All right, quickly on Japan. UH, big big
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: changes in Japan UH. And you know, Japan has in
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: its constitution basically a pacifist provision. It cannot spend a
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: lot of money on defense, it cannot spend money on
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: offensive weapons, it can't go to war really, and and
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: Japanese Japan is clearly UH changing that or working against that,
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: and and might have to change its constant ultimately. Since
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: the Japanese Prime Minister indicated that Japan would come to
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: the aid of Taiwan if China invaded Taiwan, her popularity
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: is skyrocketed in Japan. She now has an approval rating
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: of something like seventy eight percent of something ridiculous like that,
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: which just proves that nationalism sells. Nationalism cells standing up
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: to China cells anyway. As a consequence of that, and
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: as a consequence of the back and forth that the
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: Chinese and the increased hostilities, the Japanese cabinet has now
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: proved a record fifty billion dollars in defense spending. It's
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: the largest military expansion for the Japanese since World War Two.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: And it's a real shift. It's a real shift in strategy,
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: real shift in approach. A lot of the money is
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: going to go for a variety of different missiles from
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: offensive missiles that can actually reach the Chinese mainland. Of course,
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: China's not that far away from Japan to a defense
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: significant a defense spending and drone swarms. Japan has the
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: industrial capacity to really compete on the development and the
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: production of large quantities of drones drone swarms that can
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: both work in the air, on the sea and under
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: the sea. And they've also proved a billion dollars for
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: as part of a consortium with the UK and Italy
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: for the development of a next generation fighter jets, So
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: this is going to be significant. Japan has hit two
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: percent of GDP and defense spending. This is two years
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: earlier than expected. It is striving towards reaching three point
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: five percent h and it is a you know, it
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: is a major force. It is the you know, the
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: United States does not have much of a capacity, for example,
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: to build ships. Japan dozz and probably has the third
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: strongest navy in the world after the United States and China.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: You know, South Korea is also ramping up, you know,
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: the the it's spending on defense. So you've got South Korea, Japan,
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: and of course the United States is just to prove
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: to eleven billion in alms to Taiwan. Just those see
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: countries are formative force. I'm not sure China can deal
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: with never mind the United States, but I think it's
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: still hopefully this is still all enough to deter the
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: Chinese rather than actually to get engaged in a war
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: where who knows, who knows what would happen? All right?
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: Two years ago, two years ago, have you Emulay came
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: into office. He one and he came into office and
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: since then he's really revolutionized the Argentinian economy. The successes
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: have been stunning, whether it's the poverty rate was just
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: announced as plummeted to twenty seven point five percent in
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: the third quarter, which is down from fifty two point nine.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: Inflation is down to around two percent a month, down
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: from thirty percent a month, Government spending is way down,
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: the government's running so pluses. The success has been astounding.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: And you know, this is particularly rewarding for anybody who
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: advocates for free markets or for a limited government, and
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: in particular given how conventional mainstream economists predicted that Melee
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: would be a mass of failure and would destroy the
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: Argentinian economy. The reality has been, of course ex actually
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: the opposite. Maybe the most important thing that happening right
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: now that's happened this year with regard to me Laide
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: is the fact that not only all these economic numbers
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: are much much better and economic life is better, I
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: think the spirit of Argentinians is much much better. They're
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: much more excited. But it's that it's that in Argentina,
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: a country that has voted for leftist Peronas governments over
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: and over and over and over and over and over
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: and over again, in spite of everything, the electorate has
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: now voted for me Laye, not only for president but
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: now for parliament as well. I think the election that
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: just happened was it a month or so ago, unbelievably
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: inspiring and suggests that there's a fundamental shift happening within
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: Argentinian society. Now it could shift back. Malay still has
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: to be successful, continue to be successful, but the shift
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: is real. It's when people go visit Argentina they talk
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: about the change in atmosphere. Augustina from the Ironman Institute
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: is just being to Argentina and she's got an op
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: ed in the Arnge County Register. You can read it
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: where she was just dying. She talked to people and
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: she observed just how people are and it's different. She's
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: from originally farm Argentina and the country has changed. You'd
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: expect freedom to change your people, and it does. We'll
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: have Augustina on the show soon, hopefully to talk more
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: about Melay and about Argentina. But I just wanted to
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: point this out, remind you this is probably the most
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: one of the most positive stories of twenty twenty five.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: The other part of this is what we haven't still
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: for twenty twenty six. Malaya's working I understand on major
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: reforms of labor markets and major reforms of the tax code,
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: which would have if he can get the past Congress.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: He still doesn't have a majority in Congress, but if
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: he can get the past Congress, would have profound impact
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: on the economy of Argentina. And if he can do
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: that this year and start seeing the benefits of those
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: provisions in twenty twenty seven, an election year, and then
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: get re elected in twenty twenty seven, another four years
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: of Malay. Now you're talking about a real revolution and
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: maybe succeeding in turning Argentina. As Melee says he wants
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: to into the freest country on the planet. That would
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: be something, that would be something He's still a long
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: way to go. Argentina is still heavily regulated, heavily and
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: in distorted ways taxed, and you know, he still has
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: a lot to use that chain and so on. But
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: it's getting there. And twenty twenty six, I think is
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: going to be another pivotal year. Twenty twenty five was
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: a pivotal year and he made it because he got
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: the congressional election going his way. Now he needs twenty
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: twenty six, He needs the economic benefits of that to
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: bounce him in twenty twenty seven. He woulds to win
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: that election, and that'd be amazing. All right, That is
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: the news on this Fightay, December twenty six, and we
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: will We've got an Ama tomorrow, so Ama asked me
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: anything tomorrow at I think it's two pm East Coast time,
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: same time as today. And then I'm not sure when
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: the next show is going to be. But I do
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: want to remind everybody the January thirty first is the
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: big year in review. Looking forward to twenty twenty six show,
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about me Lay again, among many other things.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: And yeah, it would be great if you guys showed up.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: It's a big fundraising show, so we're trying to raise
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: a lot of money this year. It'll be you know,
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to raise at least fifteen thousand dollars during
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: the show. If we can get to twenty, it would
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: be that's my stretch goal, so somewhere between fifteen to
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: twenty thousand, twenty thousand being the you know, crazy stretch goal.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: So I'm hoping you guys will participate. I'm hoping you
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: guys will join. This is December thirty, first, one pm
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: East Coast time. We'll go for at least four hours,
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: so you don't have to join at one pm. You
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: can come durin the show at some point. Please come
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: and contribute and support the show in some way. Now,
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: contributions are limited on YouTube to five hundred dollars per show,
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: so you know you will oh meany be able to
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: do five hundred dollars on that show. Say anybody wants
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: to do more of that. Anybody wants to do more
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: of that, you'll have to You'll have to use PayPal
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: to do it. So you can go any time between
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: today and the thirty first and go to PayPal and
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: do a one time contribution, and I will count it
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: towards the goal that we have on the show. So
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: I will have PayPal in front of me during the show.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: I'll be able to track what people are doing in
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: PayPal and what people are doing in YouTube, and I'll
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: also count what has happened before the show. Just make
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: a note for New Year's Eve show, just just noted this.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: I know that it's not your some other contribution, but
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: it's directly for this. Let's see what else. Yes, in
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: terms of the show, what does Ian say? Is there
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: a match this year? Not yet, But if anybody out
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: there wants to do a match, you can do an
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: unlimited match as you can match as many dollars as
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: you want. You'll just have to do the match on
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: PayPal after the fact, which is fine, but again I'll
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: count it all towards the total. So if anybody out
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: there wants to do a match, please consider doing it.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: We can do more than one matches, we can match several.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: So so far nobody step forward to do a match,
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: but that well, I think will help get us to
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: the goal for people to know that every dollar that
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: they give us match by somebody and that'll double everything up.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: But the target is between fifteen to twenty thousand dollars,
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: which is a lot of money to do in four hours.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: So it's going to be like five hours an hour,
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: five thousand dollars an hour. We'll see if we can
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: do that straight for four hours. Andrews says, we need
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: a whale for the match. Yes, somebody out there, one
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: of my whales. If you want to do a match,
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: let me know. That would be really, really amazing. Andrews says,
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: he's just a trout, he's not a whale. So he's
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: encouraging all of you guys, the whales out there to
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: come forward and propose them. All right, let's see what

• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: I think there might be one or two that would
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: be nice, let's see. Yeah. Other than that, of course,
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: you can continue asking questions, particularly if you ask them
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: at twenty or fifty dollars, that would be great. We're
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: two hundred dollars short of our second hour goal. We're
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: well into the second hour. Got a lot of twenty
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: dollars questions, but fifty would be good. One hundred would
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: get us stick really fast. All right, let's start with that,
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: Dudo bunny. Why is it objectivism saving the world? Or
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: is it? I don't know. You tell me why isn't it? Right?
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: It's what does it mean to save the world? How
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: do you save the world. It's saving individuals. It's influencing
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: individuals and impacting individuals' lives. It's changing people's lives. I
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: don't know any other way to save the world other
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: than one individual at a time, one mind at a time.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: It's definitely doing one mind at a time. Whether it
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: can change the whole world ever, whether it can change
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: the whole world in a few decades, a few centuries,
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I have no idea, but it's definitely
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: impacting one mind at the time that is happening. So
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: in that sense, you know, saving one life is like
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: saving the whole world. That's a Jewish saying, cen beneficient. Yeah,
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: if you save one life, it's like you saved a
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: whole world, because a life is a world is a anyway,
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what it takes to
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: change the whole world and what time frame that takes
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: and what kind of action that takes. But I do
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: know that people are impacted, people are changing for the
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: better because of what we do. Andrew, do you think
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: the self abnegation of conson morality is a logical outgrowth
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: of his main purpose to reject ability of reason? Is
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: means of self esteem? Or is it self abrogation the
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: main purpose of his system? I mean, he says the
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: main purpose is to save faith from reason, So his
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: main purpose is in a sense, to undermine reason, and
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: this is a consequence of that. Once you take away
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: somebody's ability to comprehend the world and to understand it
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: and to see it fully, you undermine his ability to
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: have self esteem, You undermine his ability to be happy
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: and be successful, You undermind his morality. So I think
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: that's just number one, But at least that's from the
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: introduction of his book. But you know, who knows what
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: ultimately was the motivation. What was more important to him
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: is the establishment of duties, and therefore he came out
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: with a theory of epistemology the way he did, or
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: was it the theoristmology that drove his sense of morality,
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: or is it both equally. I don't know. I just
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: don't know. They're both logically related. So any place you start,
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: you will ultimately end up in the other place if
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: you're consistent apply you consistently apply the philosophical ideas Michael.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: For some people is all they know. Hate a message
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: of benevolence and happiness from objectives who can never penetrate
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: the psyche because they've never experienced it before, like the
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: first time hearing a you language. Well, I don't know
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: if they've never experienced that before. I mean, I think
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: most people have had positive experiences in their childhood. But hate,
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: and I'm not sure hate is the dominant is the
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: dominant emotion. I think the dominant emotion they have is fear.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: I think the dominant emotion in the culture is fear.
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: Hate is a consequence of the fear. Fear is what
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: happens when you don't have a really good grasp on
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: your ability to deal with the world and deal with reality,
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: deal with what's happening around you, deal with your own life,
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: take full responsibility for it. Fear is is the emotion
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: and then drives everything else, and that leads them to hate.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: But I don't know that. I don't know if it's
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: most people. For some people, that certainly is the case. Now,
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: is it possible to penetrate I assume it is. I
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's penetrable. Ultimately, we're not trying to
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: penetrate with appeal to emotion. We're trying to penetrate with
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: an appeal to a mind to think. And does hate
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: and fear shut that down completely for some people but
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: maybe not for all people. I don't know enough about psychology,
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: and I don't want to generalize and say what's inevitable
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: is that it shuts down for everybody. I don't know.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: Not you have age algorithm. As of recovering Peter keating myself,
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: I can tell you there is hope. It's about using
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: one's free will and choosing rational thought. It's not easy
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: when you came from a family of brutes, but it
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: can be done. Yeah, I mean, I think that's right,
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: and I mean congratulations to you, not your aviage algorithm,
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: for achieving that, for doing it. It's not easy, but
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's about actually using
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: your mind and being honest it's about refusing to evade.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: It's about thinking, thinking, thinking, and that's what it takes.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: And I think people are capable of it, no matter
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: their background, no matter their experiences. Andrew enjoyed your interview
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: with Vincent Galoso. Despite is hailing the egalitarian effect of
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: capitalist economics. What's your view of whether capitalism leads the
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: less or more economic inequality is more or less good
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: of all. I don't think it matters. I don't think
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: it matters more or less, and I don't think it's static.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: I think there might be periods in which inequality increases
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: and then periods in which it shrinks. And you can
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: think of it in economic terms, in competition terms, so
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: they might be periods in which, for example, brilliant entrepreneurs
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: in you know, there's a huge rush into a new
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: industry AI, brilliant into entrepreneurs make a huge amount of
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: money as being the initiators of AI, or the initiators
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: of automobiles and initiators of trains or whatever it is,
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: and they make an enormous amount of money. But then
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: competitors enter the field and they in a sense flattened
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: out amount of money being made. I mean generally in capitalism,
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: profit margins are constantly being driven downwards by competition. But
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: of course in a vain entrepreneurship, and and and and
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: and constant improvement keep driving some profit margins up and
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: then down and then up and then down and up.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: And so there's this pattern that goes. Now, whether it
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: moves as an economy wide or rolls through different industries,
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know. And and again I don't think it matters.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: I think Vincent's point, which I do think is important,
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: is not so much that the gap. I don't think
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: the gap matters. What matters is that you know, there's mobility,
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: there's asocial mobility, and b that the poor people, or
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: at least the deserving poor people, right, the working poor,
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: their lot is improving. If capitalism generally raised living standards
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: but the poor state poor and the quality of life
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: never improved, which is not the case of Gabalis, then yeah,
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: you can understand why some people would have a problem
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: with it. But the reality is, and what Vincent's work
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: has shown is that not only does the poor, you know,
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: their lone improves, but it improves a lot. That is,
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: it improves that the same speed as the improvement of
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: other parts of society, So the poor benefiting significantly, and
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: I think that's a good thing. I mean, you know,
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: the speed, the exact rate is thus important. But what's
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: important is that and it's inherent in capitalism, It's inherent
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: in the very nature of win win transactions that everybody
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: is going to benefit from it. Again, everybody's willing to
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: be productive, anybody is willing to work. Catherine, where do
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: you see Europe and EU in five years? Do you
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: think it will be a place with more innovation, wealth
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: and freedom? What will be the European country with the
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: highest standard of living? Oh that's a really hard question
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: and really hard question because I mean you have to
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: predict politics here and a lot of things. Look, I
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: think Europe is waking up to the fact that it
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: better reform. So I think you're going to see some
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: even if minor efforts is deregulation, but even relatively small
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: moves towards deregulation will increase innovation or entrepreneurship. I think
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: countries like Germany facing no economic growth or even negative
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: economic growth are going to have to reform, and it's
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: going to be hard, But I don't think they have
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: a choice. So look, I don't know. It could very
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: well be that the next five years are going to
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: be five years to drive Europe deeper, drive Europe towards poverty.
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: Drive you know that Europe will become much worse and
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: only then will there be awakening that leads them to better.
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: You know, the countries that are doing relatively well as
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: countries like in Scandinavia. Spain is doing well in spite
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: of a socialist government because it did significant reforms after
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: the financial crisis. Greece is doing well, but both Spain
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: and Greece basically held the float by tourism, and at
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: least in Spain, they become very anti tourists, and the
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: more anti tourists they become, the more they'll hurt their
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: own economy. I don't think they have to build their
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: own AI data centers. I don't think that's going to
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: be requiet at all. There's absolutely no reason they can't
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: use the data centers in the United States. They have
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: to do. They have to. They don't have to mimic.
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: They have to find a comparative advantage. They have to
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: do their own thing. They have to innovate, and they
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: have to encourage entrepreneurship, and they have to move away
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: from zero zero carbon stupidity. They have to move towards nuclear,
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: they have to do more LERG on gas, they have
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: to reduce their dependence on Russia. These are the kind
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: of things they have to do. I don't think they'll
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: do all of it in five years. So we'll have
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: the highest living standard. Who has the highest living standard now, Luxembourg.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: That'll continue probably, you know. I think Northern Europe is
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: going to continue to be relatively wealthy as compared to southern.
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 1: Poland is doing very well. It's growing. I don't know
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: that it'll catch up, but it completely eas Scandinavia. But
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: it's growing. So maybe Poland will be compete with one
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: of the places that has the highest standard of living
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: in terms of GDP per capita at least. Yeah, I
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know the policy of Europe. Also,
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: every country's a little different. European Union that has its
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 1: own politics, very complicated and not an area where i'm
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm knowledgeable, but i'm not politics generally. The mechanism,
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: the mechanics of politics are not something I'm a huge
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: expert in. Jonathan Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: you you on Merry Christmas. Happy New Year, Jonathan, our
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: spokesman on Fox Business. That's great. I love seeing his
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: success in Fox Business equal to reality. Boxing Day twenty
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: sixth December began in Britain when servants and tradespeople received
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: Christmas boxes from the employers as gifts, a tradition of
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: post Christmas charity and reward for service. Interesting, so it's
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: all about boxes in post Christmas, so it's about the boxes.
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: Roberts says he was going to cut back on superchat
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: dollars too, but since several others have announced that they
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: need to cut back, I'll just need to step up
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: my income game. Besides, super chatting is too fun to stop.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: I agree, it's way too fun to stop, particularly for me.
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: But I appreciate that. Thank Thank you, Robert Nia sir,
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: And no, you do not have a duty to make
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: up for everybody who is cutting back. There is no
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: duty like that. But I appreciate everything that you guys provide,
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: So thank you. Guys talk about appreciating Wes is doing
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: another sticker. Almost daily we get a stick up for
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 1: fifty dollars from Wes, So thank you, Wes. Really really
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: really really appreciate it. So thank you. Let's see we
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: got to let's see we've got a few other stickers, Johnny,
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: thank you, and who else we got Ryan, And let's
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: see Silvanos. It's good to see Silvanos again twice in
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 1: a row. Its mean, awhile and then Fred Harper started
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: all going, so, thank you, guys, really appreciate the support.
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: All right, A man, what what's with no video of
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: the Pinka talk? Presumably that was his demand? Was there
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: a rational offering or does he not want his attendance
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: widely known? No? I I first of all, I have
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: no idea, right, I mean, you guys think I'm an insider,
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: but nobody tells me anythings, you know, unless it comes
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: to board of directors. And then no Pinker video did
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 1: not come to the board of directors. I would know,
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: so nobody told me. So I don't know. I don't
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 1: take it as that. I'm taking it as no video
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: release broad public general release in order to try to
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: get people to come to OCON. And maybe, and I'm
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: just speculating here, but maybe the Institute then releases the
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: video selectively and charges money for it. So maybe they
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: come to conclusion that broadly, releasing the video discourages people
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: from coming to OCON, and it's trying to encourage people
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: to come to I don't know. Maybe it was Pinka's
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: demand request. I have my doubts about that. Because we're
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 1: advertising it widely, everybody's going to know you was there.
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: What is? Why would he? Why would he not want it?
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: Maybe they want it? I don't. I don't know. I
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: have no idea. I'll ask and if the reason is public,
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: I'll let you know. Hop up. Should you not wait
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: until you're ready to make moves? Move first, let confidence
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: catch up later. I'm not sure what that means. So
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: should you build up the confidence and then act, or
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 1: should you act even before you have the full confidence.
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 1: If you know that the action is the right thing
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: to do, then you should move first and let the
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: confidence come from partially from the movement itself and then
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: from achieving the values that the movement is geared towards achieving.
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: So don't wait. I think in one of my rules
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: for life, it's move, act, get out there, pursue values.
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: And you know part of how you get confidence is
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 1: by doing that. How are you going to get the
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: confidence if you don't act so bias action once you've
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: decided it's the right thing to do, bias towards action.
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: All right, Liam, Do you think Milay will do something
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: really radical before his term is up, like abolish all
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: regulations of pharmaceuticals or abolish the central Manking of text. No.
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: I think that the pattern with me Lay is incremental,
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: big but incremental changes. So I think labor reform will
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: be big. I think you'll revamp the tax code. Exactly
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: what he does with that, I don't know. I wouldn't
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: be surprised if all tariffs, all inputation and exportation taxes
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: were eliminated, so you could imagine Argentina being a zero
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: tariff place. I don't think it'll be a zero income
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: tax place, but I do think taxes will be different
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: than they are today. So part of the reason is
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: that much of the agitin economy is a black market
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: where nobody pays taxes because they don't declare the income.
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: I think he has to change that, lower and simplify
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: taxes and expand the base, which I think is what
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: he'll do. James is Trump the first fascist administration to
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: deregulate an economy. What has Trump deregulated specifically that has
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: been so effective. Well, I don't think he has done
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: any big deregulations. I mean that would require Congress. What
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: he's done is he's basically told all the regulatory agencies layoff,
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 1: with exception of antitrust layoffs. So, for example, an industry
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 1: I know really well is which is the banking industry.
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: Under the Biden administration, bank regulators were basically told, go out,
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 1: they harass the bankers, don't allow for mergers. You know,
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 1: just check out all the loans. Be very diligent with
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 1: the bankers. And Trump's attitude is and I don't know
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: it's Trump, it is he canomic people. Is no, no
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: layoff banks, give them for freedom, let them act, let
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: them loan, don't, don't intervene, don't. And you're going to
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: see a lot of bank mergers in the next three years,
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: a lot a lot of bank consolidation in the next
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: three years, because banks need to consolidate economically. They're too
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: many banks in the US. And they were allowed to
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: consolidate under Trump. They weren't allowed on a Biden And
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: that was that the regulatory they regulate towards discretion. The
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: same with the environmental regulation. It's not a matter of
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 1: changing the law. A lot of it is what do
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: you enforced and what don't you enforce. There has a
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: number of major deregulations at the regulatory agency level of
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 1: just changing the rules of that government regulatory agency that
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: is going to It's still in the works and it
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 1: will happen over the early part of the next year
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: and you'll see more and more of an impact on it.
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 1: So a lot of it is just the regulators stepping
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: back and owing business a little bit more freedom. And
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: then there are some big things like this bill that
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: just passed Congress past the House, I don't think it
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: passed the Senate yet, that is going to reduce significantly
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 1: reduced permitting government permitting. That'll increase activity and increase infrastructure
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 1: projects and increase economic activity. So it's little things like
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 1: that that are happening now. Trump is not a fascist. Explicitly,
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 1: he's not an ideologue, and he doesn't really care about
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 1: a lot of things, so he leaves it to underlinks
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 1: to do certain things. And he certainly appointed some good
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 1: people in place like Energy and Environment that are unwinding
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 1: statist regulations in a positive way. It's not because Trump
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: has that agenda. He just I don't think Trump cares,
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 1: you know, as long as he he can, as long
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 1: as there's enough regulations and rules in place so that
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: he can squeeze people for the kind of bribes that
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 1: he wants, which he is getting all the time. I
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: don't think he cares about the rest. Michael Elundmask argues
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: there is a homeless industrial complex, particularly in states like California,
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: where charities get paid a fortune from the state per
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 1: homeless person they provide services too. Yeah, I haven't seen
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 1: a law to argue for that, but I've seen studies
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 1: that have shown that that exists. Indeed, you know, this
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 1: is part of kind of the change that's happening, I
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 1: think in California over the last year or so with
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 1: regard to homelessness. There is this realization that there are
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 1: all these nonprofits that get a huge amount of money
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: from the state and then they're responsible for treating the homeless.
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: But a lot of that money disappears, and obviously the
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 1: treatment of the homeless is not helping anybody, and where's
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 1: all that money gone. And people who run those non
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: for profits are making, you know, have huge salaries. So yeah,
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: there is a homeless industrial complex. There's no question about that.
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's part of I don't think that's
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 1: it requires some crazy accusation by Elon Musk. I think
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: that's well documented and established in California. There was a
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 1: couple of articles in major California newspapers that I saw
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: dealing with them. Michael, the left seems more sophisticated with
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: its anti Semitism, attacking Zionism and colonialism is atoric ways,
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: whereas the new right just tells me to go to
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 1: a glass chamber right off the bat, to the gas
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: chamber right off the bat. Yeah, I mean the right
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: is dumb. I mean that's the reality. I think Richard Hanania,
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: who makes this observation over and over again, I think,
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 1: is absolutely right. You know, the Left is evil, there's
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: no question about that. The fall Left is evil, but
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: they're not stupid. The right is stupid. The right is
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 1: not smart. The right is crude and dumb, and crudeness
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 1: comes from its dumbness. They're non intelligent and and they're
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 1: not sophisticated. Uh and and now the left basically has
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 1: it's anti Simmons all centered around Israel and and due
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 1: success but they don't want to be too explicit about that.
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 1: The right is very similar. It's very sick and handed,
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 1: but it's much cuter. It's much more violent, well not
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 1: more violent, but it's cruda. It's less sophisticated, but that
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 1: comes from it's it's just notisticated ideology. It's a it's
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 1: a it's an ideology of muscle. It's an ideology of dumbness.
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 1: Uh Clark said, to see the nick pointess has decided
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 1: to run against Vivic Ramas Wanting for governor of Ohio
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 1: on a platform of open bigotry. I don't think he's
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 1: actually running for governor of Ohio. He has decided to
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 1: oppose Ramaswami. That is, he will encourage people in Iowa
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 1: to vote against Vivic, even if it means voting for Democrat,
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 1: and he is going to go to Ohio and and
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 1: and really engage in the debate. I don't think he's
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: running for governor, so I don't think he's ready to
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 1: run for political office. But he is super anti. You know,
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 1: he would rather Republicans vote for Democrat and a jew
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 1: at that a Jewish Democrat who is the opponent, who
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 1: is a Democrat who's who's gonna who's running for governor
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 1: of Ohio? Then they vote for Vivic. That's the extent
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 1: of his hatred of Vivic and of Indians Indian Americans.
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 1: Clark says, I have no sympathy for Vivic. He thought
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 1: the bigotry in the Republican Party could be directed towards
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 1: minorities other than his own. I agree with you. I
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 1: agree with you. I think the way he ran for
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: president was horrible, tragically horrible, because he's smarter than that.
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 1: So yes, I agree. I really don't have a lot
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 1: of sympathy for him. Na Jerry j. Algorithm says, anti
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 1: simism is a brain eating disease. Yeah, but it's also
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 1: a symptom of the fact that your brain has already
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 1: been eaten away. It's a term of gross stupidity or
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: or detachment, real detachment from the from reality. Ryan wants

• 1:47:41
  Speaker 1: Bunny Part one. I'm reading Heygil's Phenomenology of Spirit. It's incomprehensible,
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 1: fanta fantasy. I have no idea what he's saying. Yet
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 1: his political philosophy took over the world, where RAN's capitalism
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 1: uh an ideal as clear as day and makes total
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 1: sense he had is hardly known. Yeah. Look, here's the thing.
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 1: Hagel doesn't require you to think, and he doesn't require
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 1: you to understand. He just requires you, in a sense,
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 1: to take Hegel's conclusion. The state is all. The state
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 1: is everything. The state is what you should give yourself too.
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 1: That's easy, that's emotional, whereas Einran requires you to think
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 1: to be mollow. You have to think to understand a philosophy.
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 1: You have to think to understand life. You have to
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 1: think to everything is think, think, think, think thing, think,
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 1: which is hard. It's a challenge for people, and most
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 1: people are not willing to rise to the challenge. Liam
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 1: thoughts on AFT Party in Germany. Is it a new
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 1: bet of nationalistic parties primarily focused around anti immigrant nationalism
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 1: combined with modest amounts of deregulation. Yeah. I mean AFT
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 1: has two main issues, immigration and energy. Right, they're against
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 1: the Greens and energy and that that's the one good
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 1: thing they are and immigration. They have no positive agenda
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 1: when it comes to economics and our pro freem Marcus
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 1: and our pro free deregulation. Other than energy. Uh, they're
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 1: also you know, uh anti uh the pro Russia, which
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 1: is one of their great sins. They're very pro Russia,
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 1: anti Ukraine. Uh. It is a new brand of nationalist
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 1: party that are basically well not new. I mean, I
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 1: mean the Nazis in the in the fascists who are
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 1: nationalist parties were also uh the way anti minorities, particularly
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 1: the Nazis, which immigrants are, and and uh pro uh
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 1: kind of socialism and economics, and I think they follows
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 1: that path and for authoritarianism. The Nazi Party deals with
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 1: the Soviets, so it wasn't anti Soviet in and of itself.
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 1: It was anti communism as a threat inside Germany, but
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 1: not anti communism as people you couldn't deal with. So
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 1: I think AfD follows along tradition of right wing parties.
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're unique. The immigration issue is real
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 1: and it's what makes them popular. It's the one issue
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 1: that resonates with the German people. And energy. Sorry, the
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 1: immigration and energy are both real issues. Marius. How would
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 1: you like to see NATO reform? What would need to
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 1: happen to include countries like South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, in Israel.
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 1: So I don't think you need to include all those
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 1: other countries. I would actually like to see, ultimately, over
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 1: a five year period, the United States leave NATO and
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 1: Europe admit to taking on full responsibility for defending defending
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 1: itself defending Europe, with the United States committing to continuing
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 1: to provide or to sell weapons systems and provide maybe
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 1: intelligence whatever unique, unique things that the United States has
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 1: that hard to mimic. Did it commit to continuing to
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 1: do that without committing to put troops on the ground.
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 1: So I would like to see. I think if US
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 1: with drew for NATO but supported it morally, diplomatically and
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 1: with weapons and intelligence, then I think it would be
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 1: it would be much more palatable for the US to
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 1: be supporting Europe. I think Americans it would be a
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 1: lot easier and I think it would be right. Again,
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 1: I don't think American kids should die to protect Estonia,
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 1: but I think French kids should, because if Russia starts
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 1: in Estonia, ultimately it will be it will be fans
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 1: that pays the long run price. So I think Europe
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 1: needs to own NATO. I think what you need is
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: a is an alliance in the Western Pacific, including South Korea, Japan, Taiwan,
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 1: maybe Singapore, Australia, maybe including the Philippines, and maybe even
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 1: Malaysia and Indonesia to basically counter Chinese influence. And again
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 1: the United States could could be willing to supply them
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 1: with weapons and supply with weapons and of course Morali
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 1: and diplomatically have their back and intelligence. Wise, supply them
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: with the intelligence, but not commit to actually putting troops
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 1: on the ground. And I think if you did that,
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 1: the world would be a much more secure place. I
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 1: think the United States would be in a better both
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 1: moral and political position. It wouldn't have to have troops
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 1: all over the world, but would have its allies and
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 1: would recognize that these countries are allies, that it is
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: willing to support in various ways, not defend, but support,
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 1: And I think the same thing. It would have a
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 1: relationship with all these countries like it has with Israel.
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 1: It's willing to have an airlift, it's willing to provide
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 1: them weapons and emergency but not to put troops on
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 1: the ground. That way it risks American lives. I think
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 1: that would be a much healthier phone policy. Andrewsis when
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 1: say Judaism is morally healthier than Christianity. When you say,
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 1: do you factor in Orthodox Jews? Is the repressed repression
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 1: closer to an expression of real Judaism? Incidentally, do you
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 1: find governing creepy? So no, I don't include Orthodox Jews.
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 1: I think orthodoxy Idism is a perversion. It's it's a
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's a form of Judaism that
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 1: is kind of uh being fozen in time from I
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 1: don't know, the seventeenth century, but really it's medieval in
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 1: many respects. It's it's and it's it's it's barbaric. It
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 1: treats women horribly. Uh. And you know, just the fact
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 1: that they wear the clothes that they wear, it tells
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 1: you everything you needed to know. And they wear them
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 1: under all circumstances, and they just it doesn't make any sense.
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 1: Uh So, yes, and they've achieved nothing, They've done nothing.
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 1: Orthodoxy of Judaism is a net parasite on Israeli society,
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 1: and it's a a parasite in the world. So it
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 1: doesn't achieve anything. So I'm I'm not sympathetic at all
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 1: to it. I find it barbaric. Uh No, I say
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 1: Judaism as practiced by most Jews and Judaism as I
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 1: think articulated by the ancients, if you will, the advantage
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 1: it has that The reason is healthier than Christianity is
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 1: it has no original sin, and it has no afterlife,
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 1: and therefore you can't it can't say sacrifice, you'll be
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 1: rewarded after life. There is it doesn't say that. It
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 1: doesn't have Jesus on a cross sacrificing in the same
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 1: way as Christianity does. It's a much more disworldly and
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 1: much more sympathetic to self interest and the self interested
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 1: needs of individuals than Christianity is. So it's it's I
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 1: think in that sense it's healthier than morally, healthier than Christianity.
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 1: Uh do. I find dovening creepy. Yeah, I do. But
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 1: you know, but I also get it right. So if
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 1: you're in if you're in synagogue and you're reading from
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 1: a text, and you're reading over and over again, you
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 1: stay because you have to stand, uh you know for
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 1: a large part of the ceremony. I don't know, you know, Yeah,
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 1: it comes kind of naturally, the dovening, the back and forth,
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 1: the back of other walking, it kind of keeps you awake.
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 1: It gives your rhythm to the reading. Uh. The dobning
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 1: is there is there is the walking that you do,
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 1: you know, as you read, as I'm doing right now,
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 1: and AND's I probably did it when I was a kid.
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 1: Uh so, But but yeah, I find it when they
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 1: all do it and they all in sync creepy. But
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 1: maybe not as much as you do, because I I've
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 1: lived it, I've been done it, so maybe not quite
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 1: as bad, Raphel you. On tomorrow I will visit the
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 1: Hawaiich's Museum in Amstem for the first time. Is there
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 1: any artwork there especially recommended seeing? Well, the Vermias uh
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 1: Vermia is a beautiful I think I've recommended to you
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 1: to go out of the Hague as well. There's a
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 1: beautiful a couple of beautiful uh Vermias at the Hague.
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 1: If you have time, you can take the train see
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 1: the Vermias. Take the train back downs to them. It's
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 1: pretty quick. But yes, I definitely definitely go see the Vermias.
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 1: I think the milk the milkmaid is there, and then
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 1: the rem Brands, the Vermias and the rem Brands, I mean,
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 1: and then if you like, but even if you don't like,
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 1: you can appreciate the stunning still lives. You know that
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 1: that that the Lection Museum. So I'd say, you know,
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 1: focus on the Dutch art, Rembrandt, Vermeire and the and
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 1: the still lives. You know, there's also a lot of
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 1: other painters of the same period who do some amazing
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 1: stuff with perspective and lights and there's just a lot
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 1: to see. Enjoy, enjoy, all right, Liam says, have you
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 1: been to the Have you ever visited the fewer bunk
• 1:57:56

• 1:58:03
  Speaker 1: I want to dance on his grave. And it's not
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 1: like I'm interested in anything about him other than what
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 1: he did and his ideas. And I know that, and
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 1: I'm not interested in anything beyond that. So no, generally
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 1: in Billin. I don't like Billin. It reminds me too
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 1: much of its history. And I visited the art museums.
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 1: That's about it. And I've given talks and done stuff there.
