  Speaker 1: but I I screwed up. I apologize. Sorry. On the

  Speaker 1: All right, Well, I appreciate you guys coming back can time.

  Speaker 1: So those are who you came back a second time.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Thank you. And wow, and we got
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Andrews Andrew's cooking in the last few days. Andrew come
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: in with a super chat at one hundred dollars right
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: off the bat. And we'll get to this question later
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: when we do the super chats. But thank you Andrew.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: He's setting the tone. So you guys can you guys
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: can can can live up to it? Remember, the big
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: fundraising show is going to be December thirty first, but
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mean we don't try to achieve our targets
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: every day until then as well. It's it's going to
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: be important. Oh wait, let's what do we want to
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: start with? Yes, individualism. So we'll be talking a lot
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the last few days, last few years, last decade or
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: so about collectivism and the writers of collectivism and the
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: rise of tribalism. And it seemed like, you know, the
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: last few shows, all we talked about is racism and
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: anti Semitism and tribalism and collectivism and what as an
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: American heritage Americans and it just seems like it just
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: seems truly overwhelming what is going on out there. And
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: it really is bad. There's no question it is bad.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: And so I want to say I wanted to say
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: two things. I want to say One, I don't think
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: all this bad is truly representative of most Americans. I
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: think most Americans reject these kind of notions and don't
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: buy into it. Indeed, at turning point, you wis say,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: a significant majority I think it was eighty seven percent
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: of the audience was of the thirty thousand people there
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: were pro Israel did not buy into the heritage American stuff,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: you know, seem fairly seen when it comes to when
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: it comes to these kinds of issues. So it is
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: not yet the dominant view of Americans. It's not yet
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the dominant view of the left, and it's not yet
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the dominant view of the right. This kind of complete
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and utter tribalism and collectivism that we see from some
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: of the leaders of the movement, and that also means
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: that there's still time to fight it. That is, there
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: are hearts and minds out there that we still can
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: get to, that we still can access. So this is
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: not a time to be shy. This is not a
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: time to be silent. This is not a time to
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: be worried about what you say and what you don't say.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: This is the time to fight. This is the time
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: to get the word out there and reject the kind
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: of notions that exists out there. And you know, tribalism
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: is evil, collectivism is evil. Anti Semitism and racism are evil,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: and we need to just just be very clear that
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: that is the position. And more importantly, we need to
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: be clear about the positive and the real fight is
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: about the positive. And the positive is that I am
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: and I think most of you are. We're advocates for something,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: not just against something. We're advocates for individualism. We're advocacy
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: for the primacy in morality and in politics of the individual.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: And America is still is, but certainly was and its
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: founding and I think for most of its history, for
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: overwhelming the majority of history, America was the land of individualism.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Of individuals, you know the term rugged individual, the individual
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: goes out there into the world and makes something of themselves.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: America was the land of personal responsibility, but not in
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the superficial sense, in the deep sense of responsibility for
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: creating yourself, making a character, building a character, building a life,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: a business, a farm, a family. You know, it was
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: about you taking responsibility for the things that you are
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: going to do in your life and going out there
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and doing them. Not expecting the state to come in
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and provide you with, you know, assistance and help and
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: bailouts and subsidies and welfare, and not expecting somebody else
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: to be responsible for the education of your kids, not
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: expecting somebody else to be responsible for your business, for
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: your livelihood, but also not expecting somebody else to be
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: responsible for your values. Individualism in personal responsibility is this
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: idea that you're responsible for your values. You're responsible for
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: identifying them, making sure they're rational and consistent with life,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: with a pursuit of life, and then you're responsible for
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: pursuing them and as a consequence, you are the beneficiary
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: of achieving them. I mean, I don't think people have
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: a real sense of what it was like to be
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: an American in the nineteenth century in many respects. Really free,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: free to go out there and make something of yourself,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: make something your life, do something with your life, create something,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: build something. I was just watching a show, kind of
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: a docu drama kind of thing. Wasn't very well made,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: but it was super interesting. It was about kind of
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the establishment of Hollywood and the movie industry, and it's
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: just amazing. The movie industry was established by people who
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: came from nothing, who had a you know, basically saw
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: an opportunity, had a dream of what it could become.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: And yeah, there was some corruption in the beginning. There
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: was like a little cattel established that had some protection
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: by the government, and yet most of these people ignored that,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: went on and did that thing, fought it. You know
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: that I'll leave New York and go and do make
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: movies in in Cuba for a while and then ultimately
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: crossed the country to California in order to escape the
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: rigidity of the East Coast to make something. And they
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: were all people who came from nothing, almost all of
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: them immigrants, who came to the country with nothing, and
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: who built an industry like no other. There's no other.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: There's nothing else like Hollywood in the world. I mean,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: when when the first studios were the first guys arrived
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: in Hollywood to make movies, there was nothing there. Orange Groves,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Lemon Groves, and a tiny little town. There was nothing there.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: And within within just a few decades, you know, the
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: place was thriving and booming, and you know, thousands of
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: people and construction every massive studios. And so this country
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: is a country of individualists. It was built by those people.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: It was built by by immigrants and natives who who
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: you know, went out there and and and and fought,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: not fought physically, fought to make a life. And and
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: you know, they invented, they built, you know, think about Rockefeller,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: think about Carnegie. These were giants who came from nothing
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: and who built massive businesses to change the world. And
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: think of that at a much smaller scale, But the
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: same principle is how most Americans lived because there was
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: no option. Nobody was bailing them out. That many got
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: onto onto buggies and husses and went out into the
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: wilderness into the Midwest and then for the West and
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Oarigan Trail, and many died on the way. And they
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: had to fight nature, and they had to fight hostile forces.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: And they settled, and when they settled, it often wouldn't
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: be an neighbor within a day's ride. And they built,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: they created, they meet something of themselves. And that doesn't
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: make their great great great great grandchildren particularly American. It
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: makes them the people who built it and created it.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: They were real Americans. Whether they great, good, good good
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: grandchildren and real Americans too, completely depends on what they've done,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: whether they've lived up to that individualism. And politically, what
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: that individualism manifested itself is in a political system that
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: protected your rights and left you alone. Go out, they do,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: don't ask for permission, go do. We will protect your
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: property rights. We'll try to protect you out there in
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: the wilderness. But it's hard because you know there's not
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: going to be a police force. Police amended, you know,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: and if you farm, it is not even gonna be
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the cavalry. And if he outposts in the West, we'll
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: do our best to protect you. But it's go do,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: go create, go build. And that is the America. That's America,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: that's still you know, still in the spirit of so
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: many entrepreneurs today, that's the America of so many immigrants
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: who come to this country to try to make a
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: better life for themselves and not looking for handouts, don't
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: accept handouts, are looking to work and to build and
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: create and to make something. They're running away from persecution,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: just like all those immigrants in the anything since you
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: were running away from persecution, just like the Mayflower immigrants
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: were running away from persecution. I mean, almost all of
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: the immigrants of this country were, some exceptions, running away
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: escaping a really bad situation at home and coming here
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: to make life better. People talk, oh, the only economic immigrants,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Well that's the immigrants. You want. People who want opportunities,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: people who want to build a better life, people who
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: want to create a better life. So, you know, it's
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: stunning how today when in a sense we are living
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: off of we are benefiting and almostly from the country
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: that was built on the principle of individualism, on the
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: idea of individuals striving, and the idea of individual responsibility
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: for their own lives and their values and the morality
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: and their character and all of that that this people
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: their ancestors. And I was saying, we're better Americans because
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: they did something which were rejecting. We're better Americans because
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: we're now tribal collectivists, which is exactly the idea that
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: the Americans who built this country and the eighteenth, nineteenth,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: and much of the twentieth century, those are the ideas
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: that they were rejecting. Those are ideas that they were
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: running away from. Those were the ideas that they were
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: building a country in opposition to, in contrast to. And
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: now there is I don't know, the people who the
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: great great great great great great grandchildren want to turn
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: America into a collectivistic European welfare and regulatory state, and
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: why not establish an arist aristocracy and maybe a king
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: and then we can be totally European, exactly the kind
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: of environment that all those people ran away from that
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: this country was established in contrast to. So the fight
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: is for individualism. The fight is that your life is
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: yours to live as you see fit. The fight is
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: that your values are yours, and nobody has the right
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: to tell you that unworthy. Nobody has the right to
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: put physical i e. Force causion, use force, incursions to
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: stop you from pursuing those values. The fight is for
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: our individual lives, not as Americans, as human beings and
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: America being the best representative on planet Earth in history
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: where individual human beings could manifest themselves, could pursue their values,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: could be free. So this country is about freedom. Freedom
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: for the individual to pursue his values based on his
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: reasoning mind, without fear of pursion, without without force being
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: imposed on him. And that's all fighting for. That's what
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: we need to fight for. Can't hand this country over
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: to the to the triballistic monsters who are out there
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: from eight Events on down to Nick foyenttis all right?
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: That is my little spiel individualism. Uh, it's it's again.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: It's about your life is yours to live as you
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: see fit. But living up to that, living up to that,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: not using that as an excuse not to do anything.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Living up to that. And that's you know, if your
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: meaning in life, if you want to find meaning everybody's
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: searching for meaning. Oh, where's meaning? Let me find it
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: in some other dimension. Let me find it in a
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: a in a in a racist you know agenda. Let
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: me find it in a I don't know what, in
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: my tribe, in my collective, in my genes. Let me
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: find the meaning in my religion. No, you want to
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: find the meaning. Your life is the meaning. Taking your
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: life seriously is where you will find meaning. You'll find
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: meaning in living the best goddamn life you can live.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: That's the search for meaning. It's right there. It's you,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: it's your life. Only have one of them, one life.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Every second that goes by you'll never get again. No
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: rewind function on life, no living it a second time.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: So be ambitious and go live it. All right, that's
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: my motivational spiel for the day. The journey is the award,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: and the award is the reward. It's all of award.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: The journey is the award, and the values that you
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: find that you seek and attain of the reward all
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: over all. Right? Uh, and now politics, as the racers says,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: welcome to hell. Well, let's start with the story that
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: is kind of really shaking up conservative The conservative movement today,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: you know quite a bit. It's all over Twitter, it's
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: all over the news. We've been talking about Heritage for
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: a while now since Kevin Roberts, the executive director, the
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: CEO of Heritage Foundation, kind of after Tucker Carlson interview,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Nick Foents came out basically h swore allegiance to Tucker Colson,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: refused to condemn the interview, refused to say anything negative
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: about tucka and basically said that he is completely, unequivocally
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: aligned with Tucker Carlson, always will be. He's a friend
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: after all. I mean. He later on tried to apologize
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: and didn't succeed. Since then, three board members trustee members
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: of the Heritage Foundation have left the Anti Semitism Institute
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: within the within the Heritage Foundation left Heritage disassociated Heritage.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: We've also seen some you know, some significant employees staff
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: like Christa Mirth and Stephen Moore leave and a number
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: of other people. But today we saw this morning basically
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: three entire units of Heritage. Three entire units. Heritage is
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: massive and it has I don't know two three hundred employees,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: and it has a u to have a very large budget. Well,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: three entire units, the Mes Center for Legal and Judicial Studies.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: We'll get back to Me's in a minute. The Thomas A.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Row Institute for Economic Policy Studies and the Center for
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Data Analysis are all leaving as units with leadership and employees.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: They're all leaving for another think tank, I think tych
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: called American Freedom, which is a policy nonprofit founded by
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Mike Pennce and it's run, funnily enough by a former
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Heritage chief of staff. The leaders of the three centers
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: are leaving, with them all going to American This American
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Freedom Institute plus, as I said, staff is more than
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: a dozen staffers. And you know, shockingly, shockingly at Mes
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: at Mees, who was Ronald Reagan's you know, attorney general.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: I think at Me he's a long time conservative. I'm
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: not a fan of at Mes, I mean he's a
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: religious conservative. But at Me basically came out and said
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: that he that me sent us in his name, that
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: he is supporting this move. Now it turns out this
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: is being in the works for a few weeks. The uh,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: you know, the this is called an Advancing Freedom found
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: The Advancing American Freedom Institute approved the plan to take
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: on all this Heritage staff. But to do that, they
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: had to raise fifteen million dollars there already raised I
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: read some way thirteen within two weeks. So there's a
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: real appetite among donors who I think are leaving Heritage
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: A moving for example here, and the confidence they can
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: raise extra extra two or three that they need. The
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: advancing American freedom ensued by doing this, A is doubled
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: its size and it's now looking for you know, bigger
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: downtown DC office space. So you know, this is this
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: is really big. It's really big in terms of in
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: terms of I think the shocked Heritage. Heritage was the
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: conservative think tank founded you know, founded in the nineteen seventies,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: and and it became the institution, the thing tank, the
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: establisher think tank. It took a turn during the first
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Trump administration and particularly with Kevin Roberts joining to become
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: rather than so for example, even exactly, it used to
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: be that there were quite a few free marketers at CATO,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: at at Cato, at Heritage, I mean real free marketers.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: People believe in it, in in in a in a
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: in a free market, many of them. When when Heritage
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: took this turn towards populism, took a turn towards trump Ism,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: many of them left Heritage and went to places like Cato.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: But Heritage is a is an institution has been in
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Washington forever. It's it's you know, uh, it's it's been
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: a It's been behind so much legislation, so many programs
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: that were the Republicans have proposed really passed. Look, it's
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: not being a good institution. I've never been a fan
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: of Heritage, in spite of the fact that it had
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: some free marketers, it had a lot of statists. It
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: was always religiously conservative. But all of that is now collapsing.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, Heritage is collapsing, and it's collapsing because it's
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: taken this populist turn. It might be true this kind
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: of anti Semitic groupa racist, collectivist, tribalist mentality. Maybe it's
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: true that it's dominant among young Republicans, But young Republicans
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: are not the intellectuals that manned these institutions. Young Republicans
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: are not who has the money that funds these institutions.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Boomers have the money. It's what's behind boomers, as millennials
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: or whatever, you know, the generation behind the boomers are
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: the intellectuals. Boomers and them, and they're not putting up
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: with it. They are leaving in droves. Now this new institute,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: the Advancing American Freedom Institute, Mike Pence's institute. I'm not
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: a fan of Mike Pence. I'm not a fan of
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Mike Pence, but because he's a religious conservative. But Mike
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Pence stood up to Donald Trump. He stood by him
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: during a horrific first term. He stood by him. You know,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: even when Trump did hopable things. Betty drew the line
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: at Trump asking him to do something to win against
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: the Constitution. And for that you should get credit. And
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: this new foundation, this new institute, it's not so new,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: he founded it a few years ago. But this institution
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: is oriented towards more free markets, less popularism. It's oriented
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: towards more constitutional studies. You know, one of the projects
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: that was killed at Heritage, for example, was there was
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: a proposal within the kind of the economics section of
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Heritage to do a study on how terrorists were affecting
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: every state, businesses in every state, and the leadership killed
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: it because it would make Trump look bad. So, you know,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: these are not this is not These are not people
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: who are you know, they're not free marketers. They're not secularists. No,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: they're religious and they and they the more market than Trump.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: It's just not a big deal. But they represent the
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: old line conservatives, conservatives we hated and now miss. And
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: look the people who left heritage are not never Trumpets.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: And it isn't really about Trump. They all support Trump.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: It's really about is the conservative movement willing to stand
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: for something or is it a cesspool, you know, just
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: filled with bigots and conspiracists and cuta first people. This
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: is one a tweet by Elias Shapiro. He needs are
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: not It's not a new free market bastion that Mike
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Pence is established. It's a conservative in the old sense
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: of the term, not in the JD. Van's sense of
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: the term, not in the integralist sense of the term,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: not in the racist, anti Semitic sense of the of
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: the of the tomb. But it is showing that, you know, uh,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: the conservative movement is going through real changes, real challenges.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going to happen on the other
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: side of this. I mean Ed Mees wrote today, I'm
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: proud to announce Advancing American Freedom as the home of
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: the home of the New at MESE, the Third Institute
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: for the Rule of Law AAF has already established itself
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: as a leader in the conservative movement. Remember this was
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: at Heritage. MEAs used to be part of Heritage. He personally,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: I am confident that the lawyers and staff in the
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: MEAs Institute will continue to play a leading role in
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: advancing the conservative legal movement in terms of their scholarship
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: and by working with allies to achieve our mutual objectives
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: educating the general public about important legal issues. Da da
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: da da da da. I mean, this is the thing
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: I don't like it. Mes I've never liked that means
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: these are the kind of religious conservatives we've always despised.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: But things have gotten so bad at Heritage that these
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: guys can't stand it. Even it's become such accessible that
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: these can't you guys can't stand it. Now it's going
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: to be interesting. It's going to be interesting if Kevin
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Roberts survives, Uh, you know, can he survive? Will he survive?
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: And to what extent is fundraising gonna plummet? Who else
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: is going to leave? Is anybody left? Is the leadership
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: in Heritage is gonna flip and uh go back to
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: kind of original conservative. I'd say principles, but it's it's
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: hard for me to associate conservatism with principles. So that's
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: where we are. This is kind of that. You saw
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: that on the turning point stage. You saw some of
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: the fighting going on, but a lot of the fighting
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: is going off stage, and it's not just between I
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: don't know what Ben Shapiro is. You know, maybe Ben
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Shapiro is more aligned with Mike Pence, religious conservative, although
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Ben ship is probably more free market than Mike Pence,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: and you know, in Ben Shapiro, it's just like Mike
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Pence supports Trump up to a point. Although Mike Pence
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: did say he would not vote for Trump, he had
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: an inside look at how anti the constitution Trump actually was. Yeah,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be interesting to see how the conservative
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: movement moves forward from this point, from this point or
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: or to what extent did his splinter all right, this
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: is being quote. Today came out with a ruling which
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: is a real blow to the Trump administration. In a
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: sixty three decision, the court ruled against the Trump administration's
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: deployment of National Guard to Chicago in order to protect
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: and support operations carried out by ice. The let me
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: just see the court ruled, and I'm quoting. Before the
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: president can federalize the god under I guess Section one
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: two four six, Part three, he likely must have statutory
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: or constitutional authority to execute the laws with the regular
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: military and must be unable with those forces to perform
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: that function. So can't perform the function with existing forces,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: must use the military, and for that he needed either
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: constitutional or statutory authority. At this preliminary stage, the government
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: has failed to identify a source of authority that would
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: allow the military to execute the law in Illinois. So
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: the president has not invoked the statue that provides the
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: exception of to the posse communicados you know that do
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: not use the military insights Selad's cities. And he's not
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: given a reason why he has to use the military
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: in this case. Now, you know, this is a huge
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: blow to Trump. Although you did have three conservative justices Alido,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Thomas and Gorsige. I'm really disappointing gorstage which had three,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: uh you know, three of the very conservative justice against
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: the majority, but a sixty three majority ruled the president
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: was exceeding his authority. And yeah, I mean I think
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: it's great news. It means the president can't just deploy
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: National Guard wave he wants. He can't just federalize it.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: He has to justify it. If he's going to justify it,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: he's going to have to invoke, you know, legislation, invoke
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: an emergency. Now, he might do that, but then that
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: could be questioned constitutionally in terms of whether he was
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: invoking it legitimately. But he would have to invoke the
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: fear of what do you call it, uprising resurrection. He
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: would have to claim that these immigrants are somehow causing
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: her in insurrection resurrect I say resurrection. That's pretty funny,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: insurrection insurrection. Kavanaugh then he penned his own He penned
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: a what do you call it? A concurring opinion, and
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: then he goes out of the way to pin a
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: footnote that is not really having to deal with the
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: case at hand, but just so Ice knows and you know,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: this is what he waits. This is the footnote. The
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: state's opposition to deployment of National Guard appears to stem
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: in part from the state's underlying objections to activities of
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: federal immigration officers when they make immigration stops and arrests
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: in Illinois. The state and the government disagree about whether
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: the immigration officers have violated the Constitution in making certain
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: immigration stops and arrests. And this is the important section.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: The basic constitutional rules governing that dispute a longstanding and
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: clear The Fourth Amendment requires that immigration stops must be
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: based on reasonable suspicion of illegal presence. Stops must be brief,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: arrests must be based on probable cause, and officers must
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: not employ excessive force. Moreover, the officers must not make
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: interior immigration stops or arrests based on race or ethnicity.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: The Constitution prohibits selective enforcement of the law based on
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: considerations such as race. He's quoting from another case. This
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: application does not requires to delve into the party's underlying
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: disputes and to determine whether any particular immigration encounter a
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: series of encounters Illinois has violated these basic constitutional principles.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: That's in his concurrence. But he's basically saying, you have
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: to have a reasonable suspicion of illegal presence that cannot
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: be based on race or euthnicity. The stops have to
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: be brief. The stops we're seeing are not brief, the
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: arrest must be based on probable cause. Where's the probable
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: cause in most of the videos I'm seeing of these arrests.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: And they must not employ excessive force. Huh. So, I
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: mean this is just a concurrence. It's a footnote and
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: a concurrence by Cavin. Yeah, but he's sending a signal,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: and I think the signal is and it's going to be,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: is that they're going to be lawsuits against ICE for
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: around all these things around you know, arrests are stopping
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: based on arrests that are not based on probable cause,
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: no reasonable suspicion, the briefness of these stops, and excessive force.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: He's basically giving lawyers a menu of items by which
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: they can challenge Ice. And I think you'll see a
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: lot of arrests now, both of immigrants illegal immigrants, let's say,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: but also people who being arrested by ICE, not arrested
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: detained by ICE, who are citizens. So it's not the
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: last time the Supreme Court is going to step in
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: and discuss these kind of issues. I really, really, really
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: hope that the surprene Courte rains Ice in it. It's
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: the only hope we have nobody else is going to
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: rain ice in. I really hope they rain ice in
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: and sooner rather than later. But step number one, no
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: protection from the National Guard unless Trump invokes a statute,
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: which he might, which he might. We will continue to
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: follow that story. I did. I do expect, I guess
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: by the end of the year, so really soon, if
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: not then early in the early in the year Supreme
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Court to rule on the issue of tariffs. Indeed, many
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: people expected when they heard that the Supreme Court was
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: issuing an opinion today, many people assumed that it was
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: the tariff issue. So we're just gonna have to wait
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: a little longer to find out about the Tariffichoe. I'm
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: a little worried. I really hope Ghostich doesn't disappoint here.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's the he's the one guy I have
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: some really respect, and you know, I really hope that
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: he It seems like he and Thomason and Alito are
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: willing to give the executive branch a huge amount of leeway,
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: and that surprises me. I really thought that Ghostich was
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: a separation of powers guy and would really stand up
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: for the principle of separation of powers. Not seeing it
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: right now, all right, Seacott, setcut, setcut, I don't know
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: how it's broenow ce cot h c c O. T
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: is the prison, the high security prison in Lsalvado, to
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: which the United States deported two hundred and fifty two Venezuelans.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: What was it in April? This is the conditions of
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: this of this prison, the way they were treated in
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: this prison was the subject of a thirteen minute episode
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: of sixty Minutes, which we talked about yesterday, was killed
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: by Barry Weiss yesterday. It seems though that on Sunday,
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: it seems though that Barry Weiss didn't realize that the
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: episode was going to be airing in Canada anyway. That
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: is that hook killing it in CBS didn't kill it
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: for Canada, and it he did air in Canada, and
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: it was released as a video on I don't know,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: lots of platforms all over the place. You can find
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: it on Twitter, you can find it elsewhere. And everybody's
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: seen it now, right, And probably more people saw it
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: now than would have seen it at sixty minutes because
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: because of all the hoopa who about about the whole issue,
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: And of course there's a real question here of the
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: first Amendment and to what extent died the administration require
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: this to happen. The thirteen minute piece is very damning.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: This prison was a torture prison. The prisoners was tortured,
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: they were beaten, they were held under sub human conditions.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: It turns out a significant number of them of the
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: two fifty two, over fifty were not illegals, should not
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: have been deported. Indeed, if you remember, the court had
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: claimed that in a ninety zero decision that's sending them
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: to this person had violated due process laws. You know,
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: some of these people were had no criminal record, significant
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: number of them had no criminal record none at all.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: And again they were sent to the most brutal jail
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: in Ossalvado because they had tattoos, or because Ice didn't
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: like them, or you know, they would just I just
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: wanted to see what they could get away with. I mean,
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: cool and inhumane and just horrific. And the Trump of
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: Distation doesn't really care. Now about four months afterwards, after
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: these people had been there for four months under these brutal,
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: horrific day and I know they're not heritage Americans, so
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: a lot of people out there don't care because we
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: only care about heritage Americans. But these are human beings
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: who've done nothing, at least most of them had done
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: nothing to deserve this kind of treatment. After four months,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: the Trumpet Amstician did a arrange for to release Venezuela,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: to release ten Americans, and these prisoners were sent from
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: Rosalvado to Venezuela. I don't know exactly how all that worked,
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: but they were released ultimately. Luckily they're not still there.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: But the very fact that America did this, it kind
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: of it's shameful. It's shameful and really disgusting, and nobody's
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: gonna pay for it. Nobody's going to suffer for it.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: None of the decision makers. ICE has only become more emboldened.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: Zer racist says, this is evil shit. Yeah, this is
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: evil shit, and the people committing the evil shit are
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: getting away with it. They're literally getting away with it,
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: and nobody cares. Nobody cares because a bunch of illegal
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: immigrants or immigrants, so just people who we don't like. Yeah,
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: they were jailed and tortures because they looked like criminals.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: But even if there were criminals, we have due process
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: in this country. We don't send criminals to be tortured.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: We don't send criminals to foreign jails where we know
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: they'll be torches. Now, other people have been sent to
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: other illegal immigrants have been sent to countries in Africa
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: where who knows what happened to them, who knows if
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: they survived, at countries where civil wars are going on,
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: countries that because the government US government basically bribe these
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: countries to take these depotees. It's just unbelievable. Ah, all right,
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: from the horrifically evil to the comically evil. President Trump
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: yesterday reasserted that the United States needs Greenland for its
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: national security and said that he's appointing a special envoy
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: to lead the charge for taking Greenland. Trump made Louisiana
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: Governor Jeff Laundry, I don't know, yeah, on Sunday as
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: a special voted Greenland. Now Denmark says we don't want those.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Greenland's green Greenland is not
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: for sale, leave us alone, and the Greenland said, we're
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: not interested in this. Stay away. Trump has even suggested
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: that it might be taken. We need Greenland, he says,
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: for national security, not for minerals. If you take a
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: look at Greenland, you look up now on the coast.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: You have Russian and Chinese ships all over the place.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: We need a f national security. We have to have it.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: It's just it's just unbelievable. Landry, governor of Louisiana, says,
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: it's an honor to serve in this volunteer position to
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: make Greenland a part of the United States. This is
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: in no way, this in no way affects my position
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: as governor of the Louisiana. So he doesn't expect this
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: to be a full time job. I take it now.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: It's true. Greenland does have a strategic location. It's it's
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: you know, it has a real value from a national
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: defense perspective. But Denmark, which governs Greenland in a sense,
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: Greenland's kind of an autonomous region of Denmark is a
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: member of NATO. If as a leader of NATO, the
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: United States think NATO needs to have a bigger presence
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: in Greenland or do something about Greenland. Yes, it's can
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: do it. But Trump just wants land, he wants stuff.
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: It's and you know, he suggested at some point that
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: you know, force might be okay in order to in
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: order to take it over. It's that important. The people
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: in Greenland are too happy. Denmark now too happy. But
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: it is what it is. Trump yesterday as well announced
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: to the world that that the Navy is going to
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: be building a new class of battleships. Battleship. Do you
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: guys played battleship when you were kids. That's a fun game.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: A new class of battleship which are going to be
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: a part of a new golden fleet that the Navy
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: is establishing. This new battleship, it's not really a battleship,
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: but anyway you called it a battleship, is going to
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: be named a Trump Class. It's going to be a
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: whole class of battleships called the Trump Class battleship. It's
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: going to be beautiful and sexy. Can I have a
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: It's a battleship with sex appeal. Indeed, Trump has said
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: that he is going to be involved in the aesthetic design.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not kidding of the battleship because he has a
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: good eye for aesthetics and he wants to make sure
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: that the ship is a cool looking ship and it
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: has to be super powerful. So this battleship, Trump Class
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: battleships are gonna have nukes on the battleship ready to launch. Now,
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: the United States has taken lukes off of ships because
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: it doesn't make any sense. It makes sense to submarines,
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: but they're not needed in in in ships, and they
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: just you know, it poses a real danger if the
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: ships are attacked and blown up. It's it's not a battleship,
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: it's a it's a destroyer. Now trump bus has said
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: that he expects the first one to roll off in
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: two and a half years. I don't think the Navy
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: could design a screw, never mind building in two and
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: a half years. They just canceled a bunch of projects
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: because they couldn't meet deadlines and they couldn't build them.
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: They last week they announced a commission of a new
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: class of frigates. This is a you know, this is
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: going to be a destroyer. And look, it's absolutely true
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: that the Navy, the Navy ship are getting old. But
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: it's also true that one has to really think about
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: what a modern navy needs to look like, how a
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: modern navy is going to cope with the hypersonic missiles
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: that China has. They can blow a ship out of
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: the water fairly easily. The United States has currently no
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: ship based anti missile technology to take out hypersonics at
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: the speeds the Chinese, at the speeds that China can
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: deploy them. So, you know, the United States has a
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: real strategic problem. It needs a new navy. But the
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: Navy has shown immense, you know, incompetence in actually building ships,
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: immense incompetence of getting the deployed. And there is the
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: strategic question of if you look ten years down the road,
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: what kind of navy does the United States need? Does
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: it need big old battleships with nukes on them? Well,
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: does it need smaller ships, stealthy ships, drone ships? Yeah,
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: I mean these are kind of deep important. I don't
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: ad answers. I'm not a strategist in the navy, but
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: the point is that somebody has to do that thinking.
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: We've got a Secretary of Navy who has no clue.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: We've got a Secretary of War that is not a
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: strategic thinker. They fired a lot of the generals, so
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: who knows who's left. Trump is not a strategist. It
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: really really worries me that at a time where we
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: really do need to revamp the navy, we really do
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: need to think strategically about the threat that China poses.
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: We have a military and navy and a White House
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: dominated by incompetent fools. I mean, Trump is for years
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: been complaining about the Navy and its ships. Not that
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: they're old, not that they're ineffective, not that they don't
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: match up well with the Chinese, not that strateistically they're
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: not aligned with how we would fight a modern war.
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: We're China. Know. He has for years been complaining about
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: how terrible looking they are. I mean, in his first time,
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: he called for a return to steam powered catapults to
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: launch jets for aircraft carriers and complained about the esthetics
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: of the Navy's destroyers. This is from Willsee Journal article.
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: He says with I splately need ships. Some of them
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: have gotten old and tired and obsolete, and we're going
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: to get the exact up. We're going to get the
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: exact opposite direction one hundred times, one hundred times than
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: any battleship ever built. This is a Trump Class. Yeah.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: So yeah, as I said, he's going to be involved
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: in this sesthetic design. There's some pictures that they released.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: They do look pretty sleek. For what it's worth, I
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: don't know how functional they are. They look at of sleek,
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: But you know what you need today is ships that
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: are designed to match up with the Chinese threat. That's
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: what you need. And there's no there's no reason to
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: believe that this is it, all right. Uh, let's see.
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think much of American naval doctrine has
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: to be rethought in the age of drones, in the
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: age of hypersonic missiles. Unless they have a secret weapon
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: out there to knock down the Chinese taposonic weapons, the
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: US Navy is in deep trouble, all right. I wanted
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: to mention one of the weapons system that the US
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: Army has uh and a Navy have announced made public
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: for the first time. They did on December twelfth, but
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: I haven't had a chance to talk about it. This
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: is this is a new hypersonic missile that the United States,
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: a long range hypersonic weapon called Doc Eagle, that is
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: has I'm just quoting from the press release. The responsiveness,
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: the maneuverability, and survivability of hypersonic weapons are unmatched by
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: traditional precision strike weapons. That's absolutely true. And the United
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: States has fallen behind both Russia and China, but particularly
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: China in hypersonic weapons, and this is one of the responses.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: I assume that in many other in various stages of
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: development that are going to be responses to the Chinese challenge.
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: So this is a This is a intermediate range boost
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: glide system. It features a booster rocket that carries a
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: hYP personic glide body housed in its nose cone. Once
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: the booster rocket reaches a ped determined altitude of velocity,
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: the it separates and found the the what you said,
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: The glide system separates in the booster and begins its
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: glide phase, the sending towards the target while trading altitude
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: and speed for speed and maneuvering at hypersonic velocity. So
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: it can move even though it's going at hypersonic velocity.
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: And that's what makes it right now, really really hard,
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: if not impossible, to shoot down. The missile is claim
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: to have a range of probably two thousand miles and
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: speeds that exceed Mark five by some estimates of some people.
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: It all exceed Mark ten. They've done some calculation and
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: it's at least Marten maybe Mark thirteen. So yeah, I
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: mean it has it's a not a very big missile.
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: The missile weighs but you know, the total missile weight
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: is about fifteen to sixteen tons, the length is approximately
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: eleven to fourteen meters, the damage is about ero point
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: eight seven six meters, And the extremely high impact speed
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: of the warhead, you know, is what creates a huge
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: amount of damage. Rather than the explosion it has. It's
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: built with lots of fragments the explosion and because of
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: the speed of the impact, these fragments stagger across a
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: wide area, So this thing would cause massive damage. This
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: is particularly I think gear towards it destroying defense systems,
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: like there's four hundred and maybe there's five hundred that
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: the Russians have. Israel's managed to deal with those even
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: without hypersonic these kind of advanced missiles. All right, what
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: else did I want to talk about? Okay? Gold? Yeah,
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, we keep tracking gold and silver and the
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: price just keeps going up. It keeps going up a
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: gold hill hit. It went over forty five hundred yesterday's
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: still level forty five hundred today. Last time I looked,
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: silver is at all time records and it's tough to
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: understand exactly why price inflation and monetary inflation and not
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: particularly out of control it's not clear what markets are
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: pricing when it comes to gold. It's not inflation. It's
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: not the devaluation that puts you some power of the dollar.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: The dollars put your power has not gotten that bad. Indeed,
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: gold's purchasing power has gone through the roof in a
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know, almost absurd kind of way. It used
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: to say an ounce of gold could buy a suit
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: in the seventies, to give buy suit in the eighties,
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: to give buy suit in the nineties. But now an
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: ounce of gold is forty five hundred, it can buy
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: many suits. So, you know, the only thing that makes
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: sense to me is they're expecting some This is a
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: hedge against major macroeconomic major economic collapse, major economic destruction.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: But then why is the stock parket going up? And
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: why I interstrates, you know, not moving that much, and
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: why is why is are they no und indicators, no
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: other indicators that the world is coming to an end
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: other than the price of gold. So it's hard to
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: fully understand what's going on here, but it is something
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: to watch. It is a indicative risk. You know, it's
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: interesting who's buying central banks, individuals. It is true that
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: right now bitcoin has been flat down for the year,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: down about thirteen percent for the year, and flat since
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: it came down off of its peak of one hundred
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: and twenty four. It's now between eighty five and ninety five,
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: kind of bounces around, mostly in the high eighties eight thousands,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: and I don't know. Maybe this is yeah, you'd expect
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: again people view bitcoin as the heads again also against
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: the end of the world. Does seem to functioning that way.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: It's not correlated right now with gold, So I don't
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: know what the deal is with gold. I don't understand it.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense to me. You know, dollars
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: going down a little bit, but not by much. And again,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: the purchasing power of the dollar is not going down
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: much in terms of goods and services, which is what batters.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: So I have no explanation. I'm sure that people out
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: there would be happy to explain it to you. But
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: this doesn't track price inflation. It doesn't seem to be
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: tracking monetary inflation. I don't think M two is going
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: up by this amount. I don't think any of the ms,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: which are a measure of monetary inflation, are going up
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: like this. So maybe they're afraid of war. War is
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: good for gold, but then it's all priced an already
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: gold is up almost seventy percent this year, seven zero seventy.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: It just doesn't make any sense to me. I don't
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: know of any period that did not have high monetary
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: and price inflation where gold went up this much this quickly.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: But yeap where we have it. Windmills. Trumpet demestation is
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: canceling five big offshow wind farms. I think because Trump
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: doesn't like that they kill the birds. I don't know,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: but the promogistration announced it was pausing effective immediately leases
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: for five large offs offshore wind farms being built on
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: the East Coast. The Department of the Interior Secretary Doug
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: Baron cited emerging national security risks interesting. What's the national
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: security risk'd be interesting? I mean this, I hate, I mean,
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: I'm all, I'm you know, I hate wind farms. Wind
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: farms ugly, and they're stupid and uh and and they
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: don't make any sense, and it's subsidized, and it's intermittent,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: it's unreliable. So I'm glad that you know they're being killed.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: But I don't like. I do not like the government
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: using emerging national security risk we have to invade Greenland,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: stop immigrants, and tear off the hell out of you.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: And by the way, those wind farms all the nest
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: in then of national security, we have to tear aff
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: toys so that you can only have three dollars instead
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: of twenty seven. What the hell? Anyway, these all off
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: New England, New York State, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: Virginias are not all New England. They were supposed to
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: have about five pointy eight gigawatts that they would power
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of homes when the window was blowing, probably
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: a very expensive rate. So how to tell exactly what's
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: going on here other than we know that the Interior
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: Department and the Energy Department and Trump himself a pretty
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: hostile to wind farms and dedicated to killing them. All right,
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: some good news. Good news, So those of you who
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: have not yet tried GLP ones because they were expensive
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: because they required you to inject your stomach with the drug,
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: The FDA has just approved a pill, a Wagovi pill,
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: So instead of having to inject, you can now just
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: take this pill. I mean, GP one's basically considered these
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: days a miracle drug. They significantly reduce appetite, and by
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: reducing appetite, they they they, you know, people lose weight.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: It's the it's the first time where you're seeing real, sustained,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: long term weight loss from a pharmaceutical with very few
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: side effects, very very few fighters side effects. But in addition,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: and not just because of the weight loss, gp ones
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: seem to be good for diabetes. They seem to be
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: good for hot disease. Probably no impact on from what
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: I saw on demandsia, but heart disease, diabetes. Yeah, these
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: seem to be amazing, amazing drugs that have a huge,
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: you know, huge impact on can have a huge positive
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: impact on our lives, particularly if you overweight. This is
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: a way to lose weight without being I mean. The
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: thing is that it stops you from feeling hungry, which
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: is fantastic. I hate feeling hungry, and I'm hungry all
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: the time. I could eat NonStop. So the idea of
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: being able to take a pill enough feel hungry is
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: brilliant and just eat what you need to eat. It
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: is just amazing. I would ye. Anyway, the drug is out,
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's available for microdosing, which is
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: which a lot of people are doing. With the injections,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: But we will find out. And Eli Leley is a
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: competitive no vote no disk which is putting out this
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: drug Eli and he also has a pill. They expect
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: their pill to be approved by March. The starting dose
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: of the pill is going to be one hundred and
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: forty nine dollars a month, which is significantly less than
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: what the what the injection was going for. And Eli
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: Lily is going to introduce their drug and there's going
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: to be competition and the price will come down. It's
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: also a question of what the dosage is and whether
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: again you can microdose, that is, can you cut the dough?
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: Can you split the dose in two? How is this
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: exactly going to play out? We will see, but I
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: will let you know if I find out. But I
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: am I am, you know, generally excited about health, about
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: you know, innovations in biotech. And one of the most
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: impressive innovations in the drug space over the last few years,
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: maybe decades, have been these GP one drugs. Now we
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: will see if they're long term negative effect. But so far,
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: so good, So far, so good. All right, that is
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: the news. Wait to say I had one, did evoe another?
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: What else did I have that's the same story. Oh yeah,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: you know, since we're talking about drugs that had this story.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: So one of the leading scientists in the United States
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: on mrn A vaccines mRNA vaccines which can be used
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: for cancer, but also could be used for other infectious
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: diseases like covid, like the flu, like bird flu if
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: we ever get in the future. But m O and
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: A technology, which is pretty incredible in terms of the
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: potential applications that it has. M and A technology, according
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: to MAHA, make America healthy again is evil and bad
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: and needs to be stopped, and funding is being stopped
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: and gen really the senses that new mr and A drugs,
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: new MNA vaccines that might come out will not get
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: FDA approval because the FDA is anti vaccines and anti mRNA.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: So one of the leading scientists, a man named who
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: Haitao hao Hai, who emigrated to the United States and
• 1:09:24

• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: let's jump in with Andrew for one hundred dollars. I
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: don't know, Andrew must have gotten a year in bonus
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: Andrew and Michael. Andrew says either Rand was self delusional
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: or a cynic is wrong. Guess which one it is, sheep.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: Negatives are unimportant, evil is impotent, and never force on
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: focus on pain longer than it takes to fight it.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: One can infer this is One can affer that the
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: majority of a focus was on the positive, but a
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: cynic claims the positive is unreal. Yeah, I'm not sure,
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: there's a question there. Yes, the cynic and cynical of anything,
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: including the positive, right iinman. Look, it goes back to
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: my comments at the beginning of the show. You only
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: have one life to live. You gotta make the most
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: of it. To make the most of it, you gotta
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: focus on the positives, on the things that can be done,
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: on the positive achievements. You can't achieve. They're gonna be roadblocks,
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: They're even gonna be failures. You're gonna fall flat on
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: your face, you're gonna screw up, you're gonna waste time.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: But a focus on the positive means you get up,
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: you shake it off, you do the morning, if you
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: have to do, if you have to mourn, and you
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: focus on the positive, you focus on what, okay, what now?
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: What do I do? How do I fix it? Or
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: how do I do something different? How do I focus
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: on moving ahead? How do I focus on achieving doing
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: something to pursue my values? And that should be ninety
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: nine point nine percent of your focus of your energy
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: should be on the positive things that you can achieve,
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: planning for those achievement and doing it. Thank you, Andrew Michael.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: The allegations emerging from the deportation of Venezuela and asylum
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: seekers tell Salvado's Cessa prison are horrifying. Men with no
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: criminal history were stripped of due process center a country
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: where they have no connections to and subjected to abuse
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: of the detention condition. Yeah, we talked about this during
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: the show. Absolutely horrific, absolutely absurd. The fact that there's
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: so little in terms of opposition to this instead of
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: people upset by this, the fact that there's no congressional investigation.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: This is one reason why Republicans need to lose the
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: House and maybe the Senate so that they'll start doing
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: congressional investigations of this, bring it up and make it
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: a focus. But all of ICE's abuses overall, ICE is
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: a monstrous organization, a monstrous phenomena, and the fact that
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: it is being ignored by Congress is more support to
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: the idea that Congress is making itself irrelevant. And if
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: we get authoritarianism in this country, it's going to be
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: tele logic extent. The fault of Congress. Where is Congress
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: hearing hearings about Sikhard or about ICE's behavior. It's just unconscionable.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping the lawsuits address some of this, and that
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: they go to the Supreme Court. But in the meantime,
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: this is exactly what Congress should be investigating. This is
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: the kind of investigative powers that Congress has, and the
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: fact that it's not is a travesty. Oh, Michael has
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: a continuation. Thank you, Michael, one hundred and fifty. This
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: represents a grave abuse of government power and a betrayal
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: of the rule of law. Absolutely, no administration has the
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: authority to disappear people into found prisons, much less one's
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: known for brutality based on secret criteria and collectivistic collective suspicion. Yes,
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: and look, this is where if Republicans had any kind
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: of principles and any kind of balls, they would impeach Trump.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: This is an impeachable offense. And again I hope Democrats
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: win the House and impeach him. And let senators, let's
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: assume we got a Senate majority Republicans have. Let's senators
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: defend Trump on this issue. I want to see it
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: from the floor. Which reminds me I didn't mention this
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: in the news, but a senator, a senator who ha's
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: some respectful who I saw, who I met once and
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: so speak live, and I was impressed with a conservative
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: senator by the name of Ben Sass. He's religious, but
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: he had a real respect to the funding fathers and
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: a real understanding, I think, or somewhat of understanding of
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: the funding principles, and he seemed like a principal guy.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: He actually voted to impeach Trump after January sixth, and
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: he ultimately left the Senate and became president of the
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: University of Florida, and it was there and then left
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: that position about a year ago because his wife was
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: having health issues. Well, today he announced that he's just
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: being diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer and he's basically
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: going to die very very soon. That is h He's
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: basically dead, right, and really sad because Bensas represented I
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: think some of the best within the Republican Party, at
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: least the model of Republican Party, the post Goldwater Republican Party.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: And he is gone or is going to go be
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: gone soon. It just shows that screening for pancreatic cancer
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: you should screen because if you catch it early, you
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: can do something about it. Ben says, caught it. When
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: it's stage four, you can't do anything about it so
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: screen for pink creatic cancer regularly, regular screening annual screening
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: for pink creatic cancer, not Chavage algorithm. Can people go
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: so deep down a hole of irrationality and hatred you
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: can't pull them out? Does this apply to culture? Is
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: based on hatred? The only way German thinking could be
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: shaken off homicidal mysticism was through total destruction. Is this
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: the case with general Z and Maga? Well, suddenly it's
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: possible that people go down the rabbit hole and they
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: can never come out without being really devastated like the
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: Nazis were. But it's not inevitable, and it's not clear
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: that that's true of gen Z and Maga. I don't know.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: You'd have to know more of them in person. Let's
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: hope not, And I don't think it is. They're still young,
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: they still have a chance for reality to correct their ways.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: Some of them are probably hopeless. Some of them this
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: will destroy their lives and and some of them will
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: recover from it. In terms of as a movement, yeah,
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's gonna be interesting to see how it evolves,
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: how big it becomes, and and does it attain power
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: as long as it doesn't attain power. Then it's only
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: attracting a small minority. And I think people can break
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: out of it. In Germany, remember it kind of attracted
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: a huge minority and and and attained power and then
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: kind of controlled the world, and and that was a
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: high there was, I think, very intoxicating for people, very intoxicating.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: It does the culture based on hatred. I don't think
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: it has to be based on hatred. There's always it
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: could be based on fear and anger. A lot of
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: it's based on fear and anger. Fear and anger and
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: of course irrationality. It develops into hatred. It doesn't start.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: It starts with fear and anger. Those are two dominant
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: emotions that lead people down that route. All right, Oh,
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: I forgot to thank the stickers. Anthony, thank you. It's
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: twenty something Australian dollars. Mary Alene, thank you. Stephen Harper,
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: thank you. Let's see what else do we have here?
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: We have CP mil Can just Jonathan Honing, thank you.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: Assume he doesn't mind me naming him. All right, thanks guys.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: Thanks to the sticker guys. I very much appreciated Adam
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: Ken collecty an employement be morally justified. Yeah, sure. Absolutely,
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: you paid into it, your employer did, which basically came
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: out of your wages. So it's like buying insurance. The
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: fact that it's guaranteed by the government, the fact that
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: it's a government insurance scheme or whatever you paid in.
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: Absolutely you should be able to take out. Andrews said,
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: you said the bad libertarians and anti civilization. All libertarians
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: also anti individual rights. If pro rights, wouldn't they support
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: the need for protection of rights, a condition of which
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: civilization depends. Well, I think at the end, anarchy is
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: anti rights. Anarchy is the recognition that you determine the
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: law based on competition, not based on truth, not based
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: on rights. You determine the law based on negotiations, penalties.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: Justice is negotiated between justice agencies and so on. So
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: there is no principle defense of individual rights. Indeed, what's
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: his name, David Friedman, Milton Friedman's son, a well known anarchist,
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: claims there is no such thing as individuals. It's nonsense
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: on stilts. Brian Kaplan believes in individual rights and defends individuals,
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: but recognizes that under anarchy they would not be consistently
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: unprincipal defended. They would have to be negotiated. So what
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: I mean is the anarchist and the anarchist undermine the
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: very concept of individual rights by advocating for the absence
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: of objective law, the absence of objectivity and the idea
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: that anything goes and yeah, you know, and anything goes
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: in that one second, let me just see the question again. Yeah,
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: anything goes and writes the negotiable. So that's the sense
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: in which I meant it. Andrew, how do you view
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: CONT's effect on the historical influence of Christianity? How might
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: the battle of reason versus faith evolve without him? How
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: might it have evolved without him? I don't know. It's
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: so hard to tell who would have come instead? What
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: would have been the direction philosophy would have taken. I mean,
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: he's already taking a lot of bad steps. I mean,
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: you've got you've got us, You've got Hume, you've got
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: what's his name writes a nonsense on stilts Benthamp, You've
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: got mail. So it's hard to tell exactly which direction
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: it would have been bad, but different, less bad, I
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: suspect and reason would have had a better chance because
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't have been being co opted by the mystics
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: in a sense made into a mystical concept. As as
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: as CONT does, how does the view? I mean, the
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: biggest effect that CONT has had is neutering reason, and
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: that means more influence of Christianity in its secular and
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: religious forms. And that of course, of course CONT's UH
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: influence on on on uh, you know, institutionalizing altruism and
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: UH in a morality of duty UH, which which other
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: thinkers took on and elaborated on and and and emphasizes
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: self sacrifice and led to the secularization. I think of
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: Christian ethics answers, you should do a show where either
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: you wear either yourself or a good economist speculate on
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: the long term effects of AI. If AI causes a
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: massive increase in productivity and robots can do many manual
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: human tasks, what does that look in detail? I mean,
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: what you need is not an economist. What you need
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: as a science fiction writer. What you need is somebody
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: who kind of understands psychology human needs. So I mean
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: you're already seeing the effect. How many people today make
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: a living as influencers, podcasters, entertainers on YouTube or TikTok
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: or Instagram or whatever. A lot, a lot. Now these
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: are things that you probably couldn't get AI to do.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: But you know, think of how many people are doing
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: that that's and new and that didn't exist fifteen years ago.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 1: It was zero. Ten years ago it was insignificant number
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: of people, and now millions globally, maybe more. I don't know. So,
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: you know, you'd really have to have you'd really have
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: to have somebody who was a who had the ability
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: to predict these kind of things. I don't think you
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: need economists. Economists will just say, yeah, jobs will be
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: created way I don't know. Markets will determine that. Economists
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: can't predict which jobs what it looks like you need
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: the imagination of a science fiction rate equal to reality.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: Merry Christmas, you're on Merry Christmas to you, Ian Liam not.
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: Ian Liam says DNA is real, but ideas are not
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: in your DNA. That's right, you're Tabla Russell when it
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: comes to ideas. When it comes to content, you have capacities.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: Your DNA determines your capacities, not the actual content. Happa
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: Campbell is Stephen Bannon, an anti Semite. His ex wife
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: says he's a pretty vicious one. I wouldn't be surprised.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: But I don't know. I don't know enough about I mean,
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: Stephen Bannon was used to be very pro Israel. Now
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: he's very anti Israel. But I think he's just sensing
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: what is required to move maga anti Semite. I just
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know enough about him. It wouldn't
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: surprise me at all. He's the kind of personality that
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: would be Stephen. Thoughts on the novel, Silent Movie and
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: musical Phantom of the Opera. Do you like Beauty the
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: Beast stories like Hunchback, Manu Laughs, Frankenstein, Edwards, Heads and hands,
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: et cetera. Emotional powerful themes to me? I think the
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: musical event of the Office is quite beautiful. It's it's
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: it's really well done. It's a good story. It's a
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: Beauty of the Beast of course type story. I haven't
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: read the book, so I don't I don't have anything
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: about the book. Then the Silent Movie I think I
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: saw years and years and years ago, quite well made
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: and quite beautiful and touching. I do like Beauty in
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: the Beast stories assermainly like Beauty in the Beast. I
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: love the Disney beauty and the Beast. I think it's
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: a terrific movie. You know, Hunchbackup noted Dame is one
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: of the great books. You should definitely read it. What's
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: on the silent versions? There's a silent version with I
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: think it's silent with Oh God, one of my favorite actors,
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: Charles Lawton. Charles Lawton playing the Hunchback is really really good. Uh.
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: The Man Who Laughs, of course, is one of the
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: greatest novels ever written. I'm not a huge fan of Frankenstein. Uh,
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: it's it's more malevolent than this. Edwards Hans is fun,
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: but yeah, generally powerful themes of monsters becoming beautiful because
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: beauty is is who you are. It's your character. It's
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: not how you look, although on Beauty and the Beast
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: it's also how you look, but character is what matters.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: James Taylors, is what ideology overrides reality. Persuasion is over
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: When ideology overrides reality, persuasion is over. Yes, but most
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: mystical ideologies, most bad ideologies, try to override reality. It's
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: it's a question of people letting people. People well engaging
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: in evasion on a large scale. Are people willing to
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: turn their backs on reality. Lots of people embrace bad
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: and false ideologies for all kinds of reasons, but they
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: haven't completely given up in realities. They can be brought
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: back to Earth. You're right. Once they give up in reality,
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 1: there's no persuasion. Michael says. Accountability is not optional. The
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 1: Constitution does not stop at the border, and individual rights
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: are not suspended. For Trump's daily theater, It's true although
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: the Constitution does stop at the border. Constitution does indeed
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: stop at the border. The Constitution, the legal framework of
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: the United States of America, does not apply outside. What
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: is true that people don't lose their rights outside of
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: the border. Everybody, every human being on the planet Earth,
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: has individual rights. But whereas within the borders of the
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 1: United States, the Constitution requires the government in a sense
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: to protect those rights, it does not acquire the government
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: to protect the rights of people outside of the borders
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: of the United States. So the Constitution stops at the border,
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: even if individual rights do not. And suddenly, the US
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: government arrested these people inside the border shipped them to
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: prison in Ol Salvador. The violation of the Constitution happened
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: right here in America. In arresting them and shipping them
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: over there just horrific. Andrew Megan Kelly is is revealing
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: dark premises if she thinks interviewing someone who respects a
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: mass murderer is okay because we all need to talk
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: to each other or some sap. She's a coward complicit
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: to evil, yes, And she's definitely a coward complicity evil.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 1: And she's being called out out on it by Ben
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: Shapiro and others, and she is lashing back out and
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: this is part of the essence of the fight between them.
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 1: And but she is revealing herself to be a very
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 1: very dark person, a very dark soul newly dan with Christianity,
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: the duty to God has a reason heaven. So Judy
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: creates a reason for obedience but destroys giving reasons for it. Yeah,
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: but a reason for obedience which is unknowable. The reason
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: is unknoble. That is, the afterlife is unnoble, and whether
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: it's true or not is unknormal. So it's asking you
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: to believe in an after the life on the basis
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: of faith so that you have a reason to do
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: your duty, which is one perversion on top of another,
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: perversion on top of another. Uh. Linda Howard Fast, who
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: wrote Spotacus, wrote a novel called Max about early days
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: of Hollywood. Huh, I'll have to look that up. It
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: would be fun. That would be a fun read. I
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: think I love Spotacus. Adam looking for a new science,
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: a new fiction book to read with an inspiring hero.
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: Have you read all of Rand any recommendations? Can anyone
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 1: even come close to Howard work? Well? Atlas Shrugg has
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: several characters that match up to Howard walk A, Digny,
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: Taggott and Reid In, Hank Criedden and of course John
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: Golt But I don't want to give it away, but
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 1: you know so, definitely Atlas Shrugged we the Living has Cure,
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: which is amazing. Cure is amazing and anthem. So all
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: of iine Rand's books are worth reading, Absolutely all of them.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: In terms of other authors, who go is the one
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: that I would most recommend, Victor Hugo If you want
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: grand heroes in an amazing universe, the rugged communityitariat. You
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: claim to support unfettered competition and have said that the
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: best ideas will win. If this is true, then why
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: not allow the competition and platforming of ideas like Nick
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: frantis so I don't. You know, I don't know what
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: support unfettered competition means, right, So I don't unfetti competition
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean I should support my competitor. That is. Unfetti
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 1: competition doesn't mean that Apple should should allow everybody who
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: wants to to put an app on the App Store.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: It has standards and it's you know, certain code is
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: bad and could do damage to phones. It doesn't want that.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: It doesn't want pornography on the iPhone. There's a bunch
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: of things it doesn't want. So you can't put an
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 1: app on the App Store? Now does that reduce competition? No,
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: that's part of competition. Part of competition is the ability
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: of Apple to do that. Nobody has an obligation should
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: be obligated to a platform psychos, you know, ideas that
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: are beyond you know, that are uncivilized and disgusting and horrific.
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 1: Now you can, you have a right to do it,
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 1: but nobody should. In a civilized society, Nobody should platform nazis,
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: nobody should platform racists, nobody should platform communists. Is that
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: beyond the pale? And part of the competition is the
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 1: fact that the people who own the platforms are competing
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: against the Nickoyntis of the world and saying no to them.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 1: That's part of the competition. Competition doesn't mean everybody has
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: a level playing field. That's not competition. Competition doesn't mean
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: we all start at the same point. Competition doesn't mean
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: I need to provide my enemy, you know, my competitor,
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 1: with a boost. It doesn't mean give him a boost.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: Nick Frantis ideas suck. Sucky content should be treated a
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: sucky content. Just the fact that a lot of people
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 1: like it doesn't make it good. It sucks. So how
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: do you treat sucky content? You know it? That's the
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: best thing to do with the niquentises of the world.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: The only reason I need a talk about him is
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: because idiots like Tucker Carlson platform him and give him
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: a reach that he and Piers Morgan that he does
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: not deserve and he shouldn't be receiving. I am I
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: am a huge advocate of canceling people like if you
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: come to work for me and I discover you a communist,
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: I will fire you. I will not hire communist, I
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: won't hire anarchists, I won't hire fascists, I won't hire
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 1: anti semites. I won't hire racists. There are a lot
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: of people I won't hire. I am a huge believer
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 1: in a rational cancel culture. A cancel culture that's canceling
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: people who deserve to be canceled, who hold the speakable ideas.
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 1: The problem with left wing cancer culture of what five six,
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: seventy eight years ago, was that they were canceling people
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: for having reasonable ideas. They were canceling people for being rational,
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: They were canceling people for being just middle of the road,
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 1: and they were actually platforming the nutcases. But you know,
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 1: I've said this from the beginning in terms of calcic
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: cancer culture. Yes, don't associate. You shouldn't associate with people
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: you despise. No, they don't. They don't still do it.
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: No cancer culture, that kind of left is calcic culture
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 1: is not happening, not anywhere near the scale as used to.
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 1: You remember that Google firing that guy who wrote that
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: paper about women maybe not being quite as good at
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: programming or something like that. It's not exactly what he wrote,
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: but I don't I don't want to try to recreate it.
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: You don't. You don't see stuff like that happening quite
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: as much. Sinking values really changed, and so it's a
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: lot of the country. So no, I'm not again. Cancer
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 1: culture is part of competition. The fact that I have
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 1: the power to cancel it is because I've gained that
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 1: power through competition. Of course, in competition is not to
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: be on the end all of everything. Clock could the
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 1: Enlightenment have finished its job even if Kant had never
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 1: come about? Isn't the Enlightenment itself an incomplete project regardless
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 1: of opposing philosophers under my need, yes, Ironrand finishes the
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 1: job even post kont So. Ironrand is the one who
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 1: finishes the job. It would have been good if it
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: had been finished one hundred years earlier. Maybe couldn't have
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 1: Maybe needed the Industrial Revolution, you needed that experience in
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 1: order to finish the job. But yes, it needed complete
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 1: It was flawed. The Enlightenment was significantly flawed. Neil asked
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 1: what happened in most sub interview with Aari. I guess
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 1: he just didn't show up. I don't know beyond that
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 1: what happened. As far as I know, he just didn't
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: show up. But I don't have any insight information nobody
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: other than that it was it didn't happen. I don't
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: know more than that. All right, Last question, Andrew, how
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: would you answer an ancap who says that you must
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 1: have a negative view of human nature if you think
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: the rational group in society would lose in a pure
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: competition without an authority. I don't. It's not an issue
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 1: of losing, it's an issue of you know, the reality
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 1: is that in a competition of physical force, it's not
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 1: always and with physical force is legitimized to be competitive,
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: it's not always the rational wins. It's sometimes the guy
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 1: with a bigger gun. It times some guy, the guy
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 1: with the bigger muscles. There's enough bad people in society
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 1: who can completely disrupt the lives of the rational people
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 1: in ways that are very, very damaging and harmful, and
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: that require then the rational people they engage in the
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: kind of violence that they wouldn't want. They're trying to
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: not have to live with. The whole point of creating
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: a civilizedzation with the government is to avoid having to
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: deal with the violence on a day to day basis.
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: I could probably give a better answer to that, but
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: I have to admit I'm tired. Thank you, Andrew, Thank you, Michael.
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 1: You guys were great. Thank you. Not the average algorithm
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 1: all did one hundred plus questions, so I really really
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 1: appreciate that. I will see you guys tomorrow. Tomorrow. It
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 1: will be in the normal time. I apologize again about
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 1: earlier today. I know some of you wasted some time
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 1: waiting for me to show up. But anyway, Tomorrow two
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 1: pm East Coast time, I will see you then for
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 1: another news roundup news shows. I'll also do some reviews tomorrow,
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: reviews shows about are you there? There will be reviews tomorrow. Yes,
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 1: talk to you tomorrow. Bye everybody, and thanks to all
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 1: the super chatters.
