- 0:03Speaker 1: A lot of fundamental principles ledo tional self interest.
- 0:10Speaker 2: And an individual wats this is the show?
- 0:22Speaker 1: Oh hey everybody, uh, welcome Devon Book Show on this Tuesday,
- 0:29Speaker 1: March tenth. I hope everybody's having a fantastic week so far.
- 0:35Speaker 2: Thank you, CP Milkin.
- 0:38Speaker 1: I love that Jonathan has this his handle a you know,
- 0:44Speaker 1: a kind of a reference to my favorite financier of
- 0:49Speaker 1: the twentieth century.
- 0:52Speaker 2: Milkin. And so thank you, thank you Jonathan.
- 0:56Speaker 1: All right, let's see we are going to Yeah, let's
- 1:02Speaker 1: let's jump in talk about around. Yesterday was a very
- 1:05Speaker 1: confusing day for I think a lot of people trying
- 1:08Speaker 1: to follow the war because Trump kept making statements, kept
- 1:12Speaker 1: giving talks, talking to the press, talking to an audience
- 1:15Speaker 1: of Republicans, and kept changing changing the story. The war
- 1:19Speaker 1: was going to end soon, it was going to continue
- 1:22Speaker 1: for a long time. It was it was ambiguous what
- 1:25Speaker 1: their goals were, just up and down and up and
- 1:29Speaker 1: down and up and down and up and down. A
- 1:31Speaker 1: lot of people are super depressed because they got the
- 1:33Speaker 1: sense from Trump that.
- 1:36Speaker 2: He was gonna he was gonna end this war very soon.
- 1:39Speaker 1: Someone Israeli commented as was saying Israel Needa needs to
- 1:43Speaker 1: speed up their attacks and make sure they cover all
- 1:45Speaker 1: the strategic things because Trump is gonna Trump is going
- 1:48Speaker 1: to end this war any minute now. It's yeah, it
- 1:54Speaker 1: was a very very confusing, very upsetting I think they
- 1:57Speaker 1: yesterday for a lot of people, and and.
- 2:03Speaker 2: You know it's Donald Trump, so it will confuse you know,
- 2:10Speaker 2: Trump is.
- 2:13Speaker 1: It is the real uncertainty in this war. He is
- 2:19Speaker 1: the one providing us. We kind of even know what
- 2:21Speaker 1: the Ranians want to do. We kind of know what
- 2:23Speaker 1: the Ranians will do, but it really does seem like,
- 2:29Speaker 1: you know, Trump is changing his mind constantly, or at
- 2:31Speaker 1: least in the way he's presenting himself, changing it constantly.
- 2:37Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, we're just gonna hang in there and
- 2:41Speaker 1: see what actually happens. It is hard to tell what
- 2:46Speaker 1: actually happens.
- 2:47Speaker 2: But let's see.
- 2:49Speaker 1: In terms of war goals, the Iranian navy is cut
- 2:55Speaker 1: by half, maybe more. It will be gone before they
- 2:58Speaker 1: end the war ends miss stiles is all as saying
- 3:02Speaker 1: that they will have destroyed the missile producing capabilities of
- 3:07Speaker 1: the Ranians by the end of the week. I'm skeptical
- 3:10Speaker 1: about that statement because some of them miss out building
- 3:13Speaker 1: capabilities are deep underground. Maybe they've blocked the entrances, but
- 3:18Speaker 1: they haven't destroyed those capabilities and blocking the industry the
- 3:22Speaker 1: teresces is good for a while, but ultimately they'll be
- 3:26Speaker 1: opened and the facilities will start up again. So I'm
- 3:29Speaker 1: worried about that one. But you know, they've they've basically
- 3:34Speaker 1: been diminished dramatically. And you see that in the fact
- 3:36Speaker 1: that it all went like ten hours last night without
- 3:41Speaker 1: any missile attacks. So missile attacks are dwindling. Ballistic missiles
- 3:46Speaker 1: just they don't have them, or they don't have access
- 3:48Speaker 1: to them, or they don't have the launches or all
- 3:49Speaker 1: of the above. The same with drones. Drones attacks are
- 3:54Speaker 1: being reduced significantly. So missiles, yeah, yeah, big steps have
- 4:01Speaker 1: been taken. More to come. Not as easy as the navy,
- 4:05Speaker 1: where it's all visible. You can see the boat, you
- 4:09Speaker 1: can knock them down, you can sink them. How did
- 4:12Speaker 1: you do with missiles? A nuclear program? This we talked
- 4:15Speaker 1: about yesterday, really hard. There is a four hundred and
- 4:19Speaker 1: sixty kilogram of uranium enriched to sixty percent. That's what
- 4:24Speaker 1: needs to be you know, I don't know, hand it
- 4:29Speaker 1: over taken, destroyed. I don't know, can you destroy uranium.
- 4:35Speaker 1: If that thing was bombed directly, would it be destroyed?
- 4:39Speaker 1: If maybe somebody out there is more familiar with nuclear
- 4:41Speaker 1: energy than I am. Is it radioactive in the sense
- 4:44Speaker 1: that it's very difficult to transport It's going to be difficult.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Four hundred and sixty kilo is not a small amounts.
- 4:52Speaker 1: That's what one thousand pounds of enriched uranium radio active
- 4:58Speaker 1: I assume uranium. How do you get it out of there?
- 5:01Speaker 1: Where do you take it? I mean, what do you
- 5:02Speaker 1: think it is not a problem. How do you get
- 5:03Speaker 1: it out of there? Is going to be the issue.
- 5:06Speaker 1: So I don't know, and it seems impossible to me
- 5:11Speaker 1: to imagine the Trump would end the campaign without a
- 5:18Speaker 1: definitive solution to the nuclear program. That was the whole excuse,
- 5:23Speaker 1: that was the reason for all of it, That's been
- 5:25Speaker 1: the excuse for twenty years. So it would be a
- 5:29Speaker 1: complete failure I think on the part of Trump if
- 5:32Speaker 1: you walked away without destroying the nukate capabilities, and that
- 5:37Speaker 1: means without having possession of the four hundred and sixty
- 5:41Speaker 1: kilograms of uranium, or having it transferred to somebody, to
- 5:46Speaker 1: the Russians or something, or having them somehow sealed away
- 5:50Speaker 1: somewhere where the Unians could never get to.
- 5:52Speaker 2: I don't know how you would do that.
- 5:54Speaker 1: Remember that Whitcoff claimed that the Uranians told him that
- 6:00Speaker 1: they were just weeks away from building eleven atomic bombs
- 6:04Speaker 1: with that uranium. Does that mean they have access to it?
- 6:08Speaker 1: I thought it was buried still deep underground. And is
- 6:12Speaker 1: the fan Nobody knows, I mean, none of us know.
- 6:16Speaker 1: I assume them with sudden knows. I assume American intelligence knows, although.
- 6:24Speaker 2: Who knows.
- 6:25Speaker 1: I hope they know.
- 6:26Speaker 2: I hope they know.
- 6:28Speaker 1: And of course, the solution to all of this, right,
- 6:33Speaker 1: the solution of the missiles, the solution in nuclear program
- 6:37Speaker 1: is regime change. That's the real solution. And it really
- 6:42Speaker 1: does seem like the US and even Israel a walking
- 6:46Speaker 1: back their commitment to regime change. I think I've been
- 6:51Speaker 1: reading that Israeli intelligence estimates now are that regime change
- 6:56Speaker 1: is not going to happen.
- 6:57Speaker 2: Even though Israel has.
- 6:59Speaker 1: Weak end the forces that are used to repress, to
- 7:07Speaker 1: repress demonstrators and repress the potential opposition. They've they've really
- 7:13Speaker 1: really hurt them. They've taken out the main headquarters, they've
- 7:16Speaker 1: they've taken out their intelligence services. They've you know, they've
- 7:20Speaker 1: they've really hurt both the IRGC but also the besiege,
- 7:26Speaker 1: the several besiege Uniate quarters in Islamic Revolution of God
- 7:29Speaker 1: Court infrastructure have been destroyed, not just in Tehran but
- 7:36Speaker 1: in other cities as well. So they hope believe that
- 7:40Speaker 1: they've created the environment in which this could happen.
- 7:45Speaker 2: Now I still think, I still think that this could
- 7:52Speaker 2: still happen.
- 7:53Speaker 1: I still think regime change is possible. It's true that
- 7:57Speaker 1: it's not in the control of these valies of the Americans,
- 8:00Speaker 1: but I do think that once, once the opportunity becomes ready,
- 8:07Speaker 1: it will happen. It is frustrating that it really does
- 8:11Speaker 1: seem that Trump did not have a plan for regime change.
- 8:14Speaker 1: No discussions with the opposition, no discussion with Polaviy, no
- 8:19Speaker 1: discussions with ethnic groups, and of course the colds off.
- 8:23Speaker 1: We talked about why the CODs are not going to participate.
- 8:27Speaker 1: You know, it just don't plan, which is typical of Trump, right,
- 8:30Speaker 1: no real plan, and then of course no plan to
- 8:33Speaker 1: get the oil out of the Homo straits.
- 8:35Speaker 2: We'll get to that in a little bit.
- 8:38Speaker 1: You know. Other than that, militarily, this is an incredibly
- 8:41Speaker 1: successful operation. They've achieved. They're achieving much of what they
- 8:45Speaker 1: set out to do. Again, the missiles are gone. The
- 8:48Speaker 1: IFCG is dramatically, a GC is dramatically weekend. They've killed
- 8:56Speaker 1: much of the leadership in Iran. The leadership is pretty thin.
- 9:00Speaker 1: Rumors are the you know who knows, but these are rumors.
- 9:04Speaker 1: Nobody's seen the new Supreme Leader. Rumors on he might
- 9:08Speaker 1: be dead, or he might be a vegetable, he might
- 9:10Speaker 1: be in hospital some way connected to tubes. Nobody knows,
- 9:14Speaker 1: and maybe they've appointed him as a ruse while they've
- 9:17Speaker 1: really appointed somebody else who's running things. Probably all those
- 9:22Speaker 1: rumors are false, but there's no question that how many
- 9:28Speaker 1: the younger, how many the sun has not shown his
- 9:32Speaker 1: face anyway. They they are kissing and groveling before photographs
- 9:39Speaker 1: off him, but he is no way to be seen.
- 9:42Speaker 1: So so no question. This has been a huge military success.
- 9:48Speaker 1: Will they let it play out to become a huge, huge,
- 9:53Speaker 1: twenty first century changing political success as well?
- 9:58Speaker 2: For that, we need probably another couple of weeks in.
- 10:02Speaker 1: Order to really pulverize this regime and get it to
- 10:06Speaker 1: the point where the Uranian people are ready to come
- 10:10Speaker 1: out into streets and and replace them.
- 10:13Speaker 2: So we will see.
- 10:16Speaker 1: I mean, look, one thing is for sure. One thing
- 10:19Speaker 1: we've discovered that Iyuan is a is a nothing militarily,
- 10:25Speaker 1: I mean literally a nothing militarily. Yes, they can hide
- 10:30Speaker 1: they enriched uranium deep deep down in the ground. Yes,
- 10:34Speaker 1: they can hide their missiles in deep deep caves, deep
- 10:38Speaker 1: deep down in the ground. Yes, maybe some of some
- 10:42Speaker 1: of the political leaders can hide in bunkers or who
- 10:47Speaker 1: knows where. There were a number of assassinations today in Tehran.
- 10:51Speaker 1: We still don't know who they would who was taken out,
- 10:53Speaker 1: will find out in the hours to come. But yeah,
- 10:56Speaker 1: they can hide, they can hide. But in terms of
- 11:00Speaker 1: military performance, Iran's performance has been abysmal, pathetic, I mean
- 11:08Speaker 1: really really, really bad. The number of ballistic missiles they've
- 11:12Speaker 1: launched has been much lower than expected. Ninety four to
- 11:18Speaker 1: ninety six percent of them would be knocked down. The
- 11:21Speaker 1: same as true of the drones. Now, it is true
- 11:26Speaker 1: that the drones hit some things that people didn't expect,
- 11:29Speaker 1: like locations in Saudi Arabian, Kwait and Bahrain and Katawa
- 11:33Speaker 1: and so on up, but they should have expected it,
- 11:36Speaker 1: and the success rate is teeny particularly when you consider
- 11:43Speaker 1: what Israeli, is An Americans are doing, they're basically shooting
- 11:46Speaker 1: fish in the barrel. And the question only is how
- 11:49Speaker 1: deep have those fish hidden inside tunnels and deep, deep,
- 11:54Speaker 1: deep underground. Objectively, this is totally one sided. The United
- 12:00Speaker 1: States wins this hands down. Israel wins this hands down.
- 12:05Speaker 1: But do they achieve their long term political aims to
- 12:10Speaker 1: really make to achieve the very long term political aims
- 12:13Speaker 1: that requires regime change, that's going to be difficult, always
- 12:18Speaker 1: was difficult. I still think it's doable.
- 12:21Speaker 2: We will see. We will see.
- 12:24Speaker 1: But uh and and if they, if they, if they,
- 12:27Speaker 1: if the nuclear program, weapons program continues, then it's clearly
- 12:30Speaker 1: a failure in terms of strategic, long term military huge success,
- 12:35Speaker 1: strategic failure. If he want continues the nuclear program, I
- 12:40Speaker 1: don't think they will be able to. I don't think
- 12:44Speaker 1: they will be able to, but we will see. The
- 12:47Speaker 1: Islamic regime might continue because Trump will not commit to
- 12:53Speaker 1: the regime change idea. I think these relies would. I
- 12:57Speaker 1: don't think Trump is willing to do.
- 12:58Speaker 2: That, but we will see.
- 13:01Speaker 1: I don't know. Yesterday some of the einsteam media was
- 13:04Speaker 1: showing these massive rallies, hundreds of thousands of people looked
- 13:08Speaker 1: like celebrating the appointment of the new of the new
- 13:12Speaker 1: supreme leader. And it was like, oh, so many Iranians
- 13:15Speaker 1: are celebrating this. It turns out it was old footage
- 13:18Speaker 1: from some other gathering. And and they lamp, you know,
- 13:22Speaker 1: put on it. You know, the Iranians told them this
- 13:25Speaker 1: is happening, but it was old footage. So no, the
- 13:28Speaker 1: Iranian people are ready for the revolution, and and and uh,
- 13:31Speaker 1: we will see what happens.
- 13:32Speaker 2: But it's.
- 13:35Speaker 1: It does look like, uh, Israel has and Americans have
- 13:42Speaker 1: weakened the regime enough so that maybe maybe we'll see
- 13:46Speaker 1: an uprising. I think this will be unprecedented and it
- 13:50Speaker 1: will happen. Jacob says, four hundred grand kilograms of uranium
- 13:58Speaker 1: is about three basket balls in volume. Interesting, how would
- 14:03Speaker 1: you active? Is it? Uh? How how would you handle
- 14:07Speaker 1: How would anybody handle those basketballs?
- 14:12Speaker 2: Would they have to be in kind of lead?
- 14:13Speaker 1: I don't know whatever whatever it is that that isolates them, Yeah,
- 14:21Speaker 1: I'm curious.
- 14:21Speaker 2: They're not very big, but Urania is very dense.
- 14:26Speaker 1: Yes, I get that, But how easy or hard it
- 14:30Speaker 1: is to to I mean rumors are still that both
- 14:34Speaker 1: there's we in the United States are preparing a special
- 14:36Speaker 1: op special Forces operation to remove the enriched uranium. And
- 14:42Speaker 1: if there's easy access, that should be easy if they
- 14:45Speaker 1: If it's hard access, it could take weeks and they
- 14:49Speaker 1: would have to secure an entire area that's boots on
- 14:51Speaker 1: the ground.
- 14:52Speaker 2: That's a problem.
- 14:53Speaker 1: Of course, if the United States states the island, which
- 14:57Speaker 1: I hope they do, that's boosting the boots on the ground.
- 15:00Speaker 2: Trump might hesitate doing that.
- 15:03Speaker 1: It is really, really, really frustrating that these things are
- 15:10Speaker 1: not worked out in advance, and the Trump is such
- 15:12Speaker 1: an amateur when it comes to this stuff. All right,
- 15:16Speaker 1: myrslov says from AI in which uranium poses several health hazards,
- 15:21Speaker 1: primarily enough through its chemical toxicity to the kidneys and
- 15:26Speaker 1: its high internal radioactivity. While alpha particles are blocked by
- 15:31Speaker 1: skin ingestion or inhaling, enriched particles can cause DNA damage,
- 15:37Speaker 1: lung cancer, and reproductive issues. It's also a critical, highly
- 15:42Speaker 1: toxic material. The question is is it stored right now
- 15:47Speaker 1: in kind of lead? I mean, I wonder if AI
- 15:50Speaker 1: knows how the uraniums have stored the four hundred and
- 15:54Speaker 1: something kilograms of uranium.
- 15:56Speaker 2: That'd be an interesting question to ask ch had GPT
- 16:00Speaker 2: or whoever.
- 16:02Speaker 1: I mean.
- 16:02Speaker 2: In spite of.
- 16:04Speaker 1: Trump's saying the chateau, you know, maybe at Elant soon,
- 16:08Speaker 1: maybe a week or whatever, the United States is not
- 16:11Speaker 1: acting that way the military. So the Ford is still
- 16:16Speaker 1: in the Red Sea waiting for all the ships to
- 16:19Speaker 1: all the ships that are part of its entourage to
- 16:23Speaker 1: come out of the out of the Sewers Canal and
- 16:26Speaker 1: move into position. That is a major offensive weapon. Maybe
- 16:31Speaker 1: it could be used partially to open up the Homo
- 16:35Speaker 1: Straits again, we'll get to those in a minute, maybe
- 16:39Speaker 1: for other operations. Obviously, they have one hundred and seventy
- 16:41Speaker 1: five airplanes I think on board of the Ford, F
- 16:45Speaker 1: thirty fives and other airplanes, so it provides major battlefield,
- 16:54Speaker 1: you know, upgrade to what.
- 16:55Speaker 2: Exists right now.
- 16:56Speaker 1: But the United States, for example, there's a story now
- 16:59Speaker 1: that it's removing all the grounded air missiles, the THAD
- 17:08Speaker 1: batteries in uh South Korea and they're shipping them to
- 17:13Speaker 1: the least. That's interesting first of all because it exposes
- 17:18Speaker 1: South Korea. Hopefully they have also patriots, but the fact
- 17:22Speaker 1: that they're bolstering defenses and the release suggests that they
- 17:28Speaker 1: still view this operations continuing for quite a while. Uh So,
- 17:33Speaker 1: my guess is the Arab countries are complaining that they
- 17:37Speaker 1: don't have enough defense batteries and the United States is
- 17:40Speaker 1: providing more.
- 17:41Speaker 2: You know, the Arab countries are.
- 17:45Speaker 1: Trump jumps when they when they when these oil nations, uh,
- 17:50Speaker 1: when they're all nations uh talk.
- 17:56Speaker 2: Yep. I mean.
- 18:00Speaker 1: One of the problems with the Uranian nuclear program and
- 18:06Speaker 1: the complete destruction of the Union program, it's a lot
- 18:09Speaker 1: of it is knowledge right how to do these things,
- 18:11Speaker 1: and that is hard to eradicate. I mean, you can't
- 18:14Speaker 1: kill every scientist, as much as I think these Raelis
- 18:17Speaker 1: would like. The knowledge cannot be erased. Technically, the Ranians
- 18:22Speaker 1: can rebuild and revive their program, even if they suffer
- 18:25Speaker 1: massive damage, and even if the four hundred and something
- 18:28Speaker 1: kilos are taken. But it's really expensive and Iran is
- 18:37Speaker 1: you know, run is already very poor. And you know,
- 18:42Speaker 1: the damage to the United States and Israel have done
- 18:44Speaker 1: now to the Uranian infrastructure in t Iran is significant
- 18:48Speaker 1: and substantial. So it's going to be very difficult for
- 18:52Speaker 1: them to restart this program, particularly if they have to
- 18:56Speaker 1: re enrich the uranium from scratch. I mean, I think
- 19:01Speaker 1: from these rating perspective, they would like the complete removal
- 19:05Speaker 1: of the enriched material. But it could be that they
- 19:14Speaker 1: are just willing to destroy as much of the capabilities
- 19:19Speaker 1: of the Iranians and assume that they won't economically be
- 19:23Speaker 1: able to resurrect the program in the future. Of course, again,
- 19:29Speaker 1: regime change solves all these problems.
- 19:34Speaker 2: All right? What else? All right?
- 19:37Speaker 1: So big story breaking right now is that USE Intelligence
- 19:45Speaker 1: is now believes that the Iranians have started placing minds
- 19:52Speaker 1: in the states of Homos. Iran has between two thousand
- 19:57Speaker 1: and six thousand naval minds of Uranian, Chinese, and Russian origin,
- 20:03Speaker 1: and they're placing them. They don't have any big ships
- 20:05Speaker 1: to do this with, so suppose they're doing it with
- 20:09Speaker 1: small ships that can carry two to three mines each. Now,
- 20:15Speaker 1: if this is true, I don't quite understand why the
- 20:19Speaker 1: Navy is not right there to take out these boats
- 20:24Speaker 1: that are placing the mines. I don't know why the
- 20:25Speaker 1: US Air Force is not taking these boats out as
- 20:29Speaker 1: a high priority as they are deployed. You know, why
- 20:34Speaker 1: isn't there a no float zone off the coast of
- 20:37Speaker 1: Iran where any Uranian vessel that is in that area
- 20:42Speaker 1: just gets sunk automatically. I don't know, but there is
- 20:48Speaker 1: this rumor that they are laying mines in the states
- 20:50Speaker 1: of Homos.
- 20:53Speaker 2: Trump has addressed this.
- 20:56Speaker 1: He put out a tweet not so long ago saying,
- 21:00Speaker 1: if you want us put out any minds in the
- 21:02Speaker 1: Homeost Strait, and we have no reports of them doing so,
- 21:05Speaker 1: he claims we want them removed immediately. If for any reason,
- 21:11Speaker 1: minds were placed and they are not removed forthwith, the
- 21:15Speaker 1: military consequences to Iran will be at a level never
- 21:18Speaker 1: seen before by all of mankind. If, on the other hand,
- 21:23Speaker 1: they remove what they have placed, it will be a
- 21:25Speaker 1: giant step in the right direction. So Trump is threatening
- 21:30Speaker 1: he wants to remove it immediately. Not clear you know
- 21:34Speaker 1: what exactly is going to be done if he does it,
- 21:40Speaker 1: you know, we will we will see. We will see
- 21:43Speaker 1: what happens with the UH with these minds. It is.
- 21:46Speaker 2: It is a big deal.
- 21:48Speaker 1: Minds are very difficult to skirts. They're very difficult to
- 21:51Speaker 1: get around. And yep, we will see. All right, Let's
- 21:59Speaker 1: see a few are of things. He sass said today
- 22:02Speaker 1: that today would be the most intense day of US
- 22:06Speaker 1: attacks on you on.
- 22:08Speaker 2: And that's you know the US has I don't know.
- 22:13Speaker 1: I think three B two S, three B ones and
- 22:17Speaker 1: at least three B fifty twos within range of you
- 22:21Speaker 1: on that is, I think they're all in military basis
- 22:24Speaker 1: or FOS basis in the UK, and they could they
- 22:31Speaker 1: could go out and uh and take them out so
- 22:40Speaker 1: Q weekends. I don't know what the question is. What
- 22:42Speaker 1: are you asking? There might be a question there, but
- 22:45Speaker 1: if you want me to answer it, you can have
- 22:47Speaker 1: to clarify what you mean.
- 22:55Speaker 3: All right, Tom Mark, missile is a cruise missiles.
- 23:04Speaker 1: I'm not sure what you're asking, uh term what else
- 23:14Speaker 1: do we have?
- 23:15Speaker 2: All right?
- 23:15Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean basically says says, this is going
- 23:19Speaker 1: to be the most intense day. Lots of bombing. Big
- 23:21Speaker 1: planes carry big loads, carry big bombs.
- 23:26Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to see what they're being used to target.
- 23:32Speaker 1: The Chief Staff Dan Crane Kine said that so far,
- 23:37Speaker 1: the United States military struck five thousand targets since the
- 23:41Speaker 1: start of the war UH, and that US and you
- 23:46Speaker 1: on together have resulted in a reduction of ninety of
- 23:50Speaker 1: the Islamic Republic's missile launchers no, not missiles, miss out
- 23:54Speaker 1: launches against Israel and the Gulf States. Again. Ranians are pathetic, right,
- 24:02Speaker 1: and and the US has completely overwhelmed them and crushed them.
- 24:11Speaker 2: We will see if.
- 24:14Speaker 1: You know what exact how exactly this moves, and how
- 24:19Speaker 1: soon it moves, and how you know it's Trump. So
- 24:22Speaker 1: anything's on the table and you can't tell when it's
- 24:24Speaker 1: going to happen. One of the considerations is the cost
- 24:27Speaker 1: of this war. This war is super expensive. The US
- 24:34Speaker 1: used in the first two days of the operation, the
- 24:39Speaker 1: cost of munitions was five point six billion dollars. Over
- 24:45Speaker 1: the ten days, they're estimating that the cost just of
- 24:48Speaker 1: the munitions have been twenty eight billion dollars b with
- 24:52Speaker 1: a B B billion.
- 24:54Speaker 2: That is huge. That is huge.
- 24:58Speaker 1: So we will again, and I think they'll they'll be pressure,
- 25:08Speaker 1: they'll be I'm just watching a video. It just came
- 25:11Speaker 1: up on my screen, a video of what's his name,
- 25:14Speaker 1: uh uh say Oga, the guy from the Young Tooks,
- 25:20Speaker 1: just yelling into the camera. He's sweating and he's yelling
- 25:24Speaker 1: and he's pounding the table and he's like, Israel is
- 25:28Speaker 1: America's number one enemy. They're not an ally, they're the enemy.
- 25:32Speaker 1: We should go after them. There's never been an enemy
- 25:35Speaker 1: greater than Israel in my entire lifetime. And he's like
- 25:40Speaker 1: sweating and he's dripping. He's a big guy, and the
- 25:44Speaker 1: guy's pathetic. It's pretty funny. Sorry, I know who he's
- 25:49Speaker 1: talking to. Anyway, Costs are gonna be a big deal. Uh.
- 25:53Speaker 1: And of course mining, mining and straits of homos, and
- 25:57Speaker 1: the implication in terms of oil a big significant. The
- 26:00Speaker 1: oil implication is the Trumpet demistration has told these railies
- 26:05Speaker 1: that not to carry out any additional strikes and energy
- 26:08Speaker 1: facilities in Iran, particularly oil facilities.
- 26:12Speaker 2: This is after is.
- 26:13Speaker 1: Bombed the big oil depot over the weekend. You know,
- 26:18Speaker 1: the president wants to cooperate with Iran's oil sector after
- 26:23Speaker 1: the war.
- 26:25Speaker 2: So he doesn't want it destroyed.
- 26:28Speaker 1: And he's also worried about massive Iranian retaliation against energy
- 26:35Speaker 1: infrastructure across the Gulf States. But remember they're not launching much.
- 26:41Speaker 1: There's not much that could be launched. And also, of
- 26:45Speaker 1: course Trump is concerned about oil prices going up, so
- 26:49Speaker 1: he'd rather not see oil depots, refineries, oil fields.
- 26:57Speaker 2: Kind of up and smoke. Let's see what else do
- 27:02Speaker 2: we have?
- 27:04Speaker 1: Uh? This one?
- 27:05Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 27:06Speaker 1: Whitcoff today was asked about the story about Russians providing
- 27:13Speaker 1: the Ranians with intelligence and targeting and helping them with
- 27:16Speaker 1: targeting against US forces.
- 27:21Speaker 2: And this is what Whitcuff said.
- 27:22Speaker 1: Well, I'm not an Intel intel officer, so I can't
- 27:25Speaker 1: tell you. I can tell you yesterday on the call
- 27:28Speaker 1: with the President, the Russians said that they have not
- 27:31Speaker 1: been sharing.
- 27:32Speaker 2: Of course, we believe everything Putin tells us.
- 27:35Speaker 1: That's what they said, so you know, we can take
- 27:38Speaker 1: them at they would. But they did say that, And
- 27:41Speaker 1: yesterday morning, independently, Jared and I had a call with
- 27:44Speaker 1: Ushakov who reiterated the same. So, I you know, that's
- 27:50Speaker 1: a better question for the Intel people. But let's hope
- 27:53Speaker 1: they're not sharing hope. Hope is a powerful thing, particularly
- 27:58Speaker 1: when when when you believe everything, letting me Putin tells you.
- 28:05Speaker 1: All right, let's see, uh, all right, a little bit
- 28:13Speaker 1: about drones. So we've talked about this, the fact that
- 28:16Speaker 1: Ukraine has technology to down these drones much more effectively
- 28:20Speaker 1: than the technology that the US has deployed in in
- 28:25Speaker 1: in in the Arab States. Israel has its own drone
- 28:30Speaker 1: you know, uh destroying technology.
- 28:32Speaker 2: It has the laser beams uh.
- 28:35Speaker 1: And and also Israel is very far away, so it's
- 28:37Speaker 1: easy to knock the drones down on the way. But
- 28:40Speaker 1: that's not the case with the with the Golf States,
- 28:42Speaker 1: we're all right down the Gulf, they're very very close
- 28:45Speaker 1: to Iran and and the damage can be quite severe.
- 28:49Speaker 1: And it owns that the Ukraine has technology they can
- 28:52Speaker 1: really protect you from these drones. And now it's coming
- 28:56Speaker 1: out that Ukrainian's officials offered the Trump administration a plan
- 29:02Speaker 1: to establish a worldwide operating anti drone network which would
- 29:07Speaker 1: not only operate in Europe, but also in the Middle
- 29:09Speaker 1: East and even potentially in East Asia with our allies
- 29:14Speaker 1: the Exchange. So supposedly they offered this in August of
- 29:17Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, so six months ago, seven eight months ago.
- 29:22Speaker 1: And the defense network, which would have been made up
- 29:27Speaker 1: by twenty million drones, a multi layer capability and a
- 29:31Speaker 1: American drone dominance, would have been capable of to counter
- 29:35Speaker 1: even the Shahad waves which are harassing the Middle East
- 29:38Speaker 1: right now. Harassing is the right wood, not really destroying, harassing.
- 29:45Speaker 1: The plan was dismissed by the Trump administration back back
- 29:48Speaker 1: in August. At the same time, by the way that
- 29:52Speaker 1: Putin was coming out to Alaska, to meet his best
- 29:55Speaker 1: bud and I think the United States prob he regrets
- 30:00Speaker 1: that right now, suddenly the Gulf States regret that the
- 30:05Speaker 1: United States didn't provide them with this basis.
- 30:09Speaker 2: It seems like.
- 30:11Speaker 1: Three professional drone teams from Ukraine have arrived in the
- 30:15Speaker 1: Middle East now in order to support the efforts to
- 30:18Speaker 1: neutralize Iranian drones. The three countries that are getting these
- 30:23Speaker 1: teams the Saudi Arabia, Katar and the United Arab Emirates.
- 30:27Speaker 1: And suppose this is always confirmed by Zelensky. In addition,
- 30:35Speaker 1: the Saudi Arabian Arms Company assigned a deal to buy
- 30:38Speaker 1: Ukrainian made interceptor missiles. This is a drone defense system.
- 30:44Speaker 1: And you know, I don't know you know when this
- 30:48Speaker 1: will arrive, but this is great for the Ukrainians. There's
- 30:51Speaker 1: a lot of revenue. The Saudis can pay up, can
- 30:53Speaker 1: pay up, and this will provide them with the defense system. Now,
- 30:57Speaker 1: how quickly that can be deployed, We're probably not talking
- 31:00Speaker 1: about imminately, So this is for the future, even though
- 31:04Speaker 1: the deal might be finalized right now. Let's see, you
- 31:09Speaker 1: know that is the same drone deal and just looking
- 31:11Speaker 1: through all right, So that's drones. The US missed an opportunity.
- 31:16Speaker 1: Ukraine has become the worlds leading really authority on drones.
- 31:24Speaker 1: They are building drones, they have the capacity to build drones.
- 31:27Speaker 1: They're building drone defense systems. They know drones. They've been
- 31:32Speaker 1: fighting this war now for what is it since twenty
- 31:35Speaker 1: twenty two, so four years. Much of that time has
- 31:39Speaker 1: been a drone war. They are now recognized, i think
- 31:43Speaker 1: in Europe and the United States as the best in
- 31:47Speaker 1: the world. They have manufacturing plants, they're opening up manufacturing
- 31:50Speaker 1: plants in Europe to produce the drones and the anti
- 31:53Speaker 1: drone technologies. You know, they are probably right now the
- 31:58Speaker 1: best in the world at that tech. It's sad, tragic
- 32:04Speaker 1: really that the United States is so hostile to Ukraine
- 32:07Speaker 1: that the Trump administration has not cooperated more closely closer
- 32:11Speaker 1: with Ukraine, has not built up that relationship, and as
- 32:16Speaker 1: a consequence, you know, boasted America's drone capabilities, uh, you know,
- 32:23Speaker 1: as as.
- 32:24Speaker 2: Part of this.
- 32:26Speaker 1: But that's that's Trump, right, I mean, you know, being
- 32:31Speaker 1: best buds with Putin and rejecting Zelensky has consequences, and
- 32:36Speaker 1: this certainly is one of the consequences. The consequences not
- 32:39Speaker 1: having the best technology in the world right now, and
- 32:42Speaker 1: not now. I'm sure the American company is making even
- 32:45Speaker 1: more advanced technologies in terms of drones. The difference is
- 32:50Speaker 1: Ukraine is battle tested, battle refined, battle you know, flexible
- 32:57Speaker 1: in a way that American technology still.
- 32:59Speaker 2: Has to be proved it right.
- 33:01Speaker 1: America did use the first time ever, I think, in
- 33:04Speaker 1: Battle they one way suicide drone that is modeled after
- 33:09Speaker 1: the Iranian drones. And I said on a previous show
- 33:12Speaker 1: that the Iranians invented that drone, and that was a mistake,
- 33:16Speaker 1: so I take that back.
- 33:17Speaker 2: I was wrong. It happens it.
- 33:19Speaker 1: Turns out that the technology for the drones the Iranians
- 33:22Speaker 1: use was actually developed a long time ago in Germany,
- 33:27Speaker 1: and that the Iranians copied the German technology that copiers.
- 33:31Speaker 1: After all, they're not innovators. They copied the German technology
- 33:36Speaker 1: and built you know, built up their drone capabilities. But
- 33:42Speaker 1: the invention, the innovation, the tech is not Iranian tech.
- 33:49Speaker 1: It's it's fundamentally German tech.
- 33:55Speaker 2: All right.
- 33:57Speaker 1: So let's talk a little bit about oil. We've talked
- 33:59Speaker 1: about this four but you know this is still I mean,
- 34:02Speaker 1: I'm looking at all prices let's look now at all prices.
- 34:05Speaker 2: Let's see where we are.
- 34:06Speaker 1: I mean today, unbelievably volatile. I mean just the volatility,
- 34:10Speaker 1: the up and down, every little piece of news changes.
- 34:14Speaker 1: I'm sure the mines, the story about the mines raised
- 34:19Speaker 1: the prices off the lows. But I'm looking at the
- 34:22Speaker 1: kind of the last few days. Oil hit a peak
- 34:26Speaker 1: of one hundred and sixteen point seventy nine. This is
- 34:29Speaker 1: this is crude oil. I think this is West Texas
- 34:34Speaker 1: one hundred and sixteen point seventy nine. It hit a
- 34:38Speaker 1: low earlier today of seventy five point three. So on
- 34:43Speaker 1: Sunday it hit one hundred and sixteen point seventy nine,
- 34:46Speaker 1: and then it went down on Monday. Then today it
- 34:48Speaker 1: took this DiPT into the seventy five point thirty and
- 34:52Speaker 1: then immediately spiked up again and it's now at eighty
- 34:56Speaker 1: six seventy. So never seen volu utility like this. And
- 35:01Speaker 1: part of it is we're gonna have convoys of getting
- 35:05Speaker 1: the oil out with US navy. Okay, that's good news.
- 35:09Speaker 1: And then they say, well that might take a while.
- 35:12Speaker 1: But in the meantime, oil ships are sneaking by, so
- 35:16Speaker 1: some of the oil is coming through. Okay, that's good news,
- 35:19Speaker 1: but how much not a lot bad news? The mining
- 35:23Speaker 1: the Straits of Homos, bad news is really happening, We
- 35:27Speaker 1: don't know, maybe good news. I mean Chris Wright, the
- 35:31Speaker 1: Secretary of Energy, tweeted earlier that the US Navy successfully
- 35:36Speaker 1: escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Homoes to
- 35:40Speaker 1: ensure all remains flowing to global markets, and that's when
- 35:43Speaker 1: oil took that tumble at to seventy something. But then
- 35:46Speaker 1: he deleted the tweet, which means maybe it wasn't true,
- 35:49Speaker 1: maybe it didn't really happen, maybe it was fake news.
- 35:53Speaker 1: So back and forth, back and forth. Even with the
- 35:58Speaker 1: sneaking of oil, I mean through the Homos, it's only
- 36:02Speaker 1: about ten percent of what usually goes through. Or that's wrong,
- 36:07Speaker 1: twenty percent. It looks like twenty percent of what usually
- 36:09Speaker 1: goes through. Now, it's also true that the Saudis have
- 36:13Speaker 1: announced that they're they're using the pipeline to move oil
- 36:19Speaker 1: in the in the western direction, and you know, but
- 36:25Speaker 1: but again that is only a part of the total
- 36:29Speaker 1: oil and it's only the Saudis, so they can get
- 36:32Speaker 1: around they can get around it. It'll be a little
- 36:34Speaker 1: bit more expensive there because then they have to they
- 36:37Speaker 1: still have to go to China, which is east, not west.
- 36:41Speaker 1: So they always around the blocking of the Homo straits.
- 36:45Speaker 1: But none of them are satisfactory. None of them lead
- 36:49Speaker 1: to a complete resumption of oil flows from the region.
- 36:54Speaker 2: And and you know, quite difficult.
- 36:58Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, as I said, in just two hours,
- 37:00Speaker 1: old prices fell ten dollars and then rows eleven dollars,
- 37:04Speaker 1: complete in two hours. Again, nobody's seen volatility like this,
- 37:09Speaker 1: at least in a long, long long time. So Saudi
- 37:14Speaker 1: Arabia will export up to seventy four percent of its
- 37:17Speaker 1: exports from east and to western ports, you know.
- 37:22Speaker 2: So we'll we'll see, we'll see how that goes.
- 37:24Speaker 1: That I think is moderating the rise in the price
- 37:28Speaker 1: of oil, that that oil is going to come on market.
- 37:30Speaker 1: And finally, the United States as well as Europe and
- 37:33Speaker 1: other parties around the world are considering now using the
- 37:37Speaker 1: Strategic Petroleum Reserve. But here's the problem for the Americans,
- 37:41Speaker 1: because the Democrats are yelling, you know, why isn't he
- 37:44Speaker 1: opening up the reserves, Why is any getting the reserves
- 37:47Speaker 1: out there?
- 37:47Speaker 2: Gasoline prices won't go up.
- 37:49Speaker 1: Well, it turns out that it's very difficult for the
- 37:51Speaker 1: Americans to do it because of what the Biden administration
- 37:55Speaker 1: has done.
- 37:57Speaker 2: So let's just be clear.
- 37:59Speaker 1: Congress established the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in nineteen seventy five
- 38:03Speaker 1: after the Arab oil embargo of seventy three to basically
- 38:08Speaker 1: mitigate shocks to the system. Before Biden, the oilerser was
- 38:15Speaker 1: used three times Gulf War of nineteen ninety one, but
- 38:20Speaker 1: a small amount seventeen million bellos Hurricane Katrina, because Hyrikane
- 38:25Speaker 1: Katrina impacted many of the refineries on the Gulf right
- 38:30Speaker 1: where oilers were fined in the United States, and so
- 38:34Speaker 1: they opened up the strategics of eleven million, and then
- 38:38Speaker 1: when there was Libya unrest in Libya twenty eleven, another
- 38:42Speaker 1: thirty million. However, during the Biden presidency, when inflation was
- 38:50Speaker 1: hitting and all prices were going up because of inflation,
- 38:53Speaker 1: not because of any shock to the system, not because
- 38:57Speaker 1: of any wars, not because of any thing substance of
- 39:01Speaker 1: like that, but because of all the stimulus the Trump
- 39:04Speaker 1: and Biden it flowed into the economy.
- 39:07Speaker 2: During twenty twenty and twenty twenty.
- 39:08Speaker 1: One, Biden decided to use the Strategic Deserve to release
- 39:13Speaker 1: fifty million barrels, the most ever in November twenty twenty one,
- 39:21Speaker 1: and the idea was to try to get the cost
- 39:23Speaker 1: of oil down before the midterm elections. And then after
- 39:28Speaker 1: Russia invaded Ukraine in March of twenty twenty two, again
- 39:32Speaker 1: in supportive arguably midterms in twenty twenty two, they released
- 39:37Speaker 1: another one hundred and eighty million barrels over six months. Now,
- 39:42Speaker 1: the scale of that release was completely unprecedented. Never had
- 39:47Speaker 1: so much released. I mean usually that was a million
- 39:50Speaker 1: bowels a day. And the consequence of that was, by
- 39:57Speaker 1: the way, guess the lean price is barely budged. But
- 40:00Speaker 1: the consequence was that the reserves were depleted and the
- 40:10Speaker 1: actual sites where the reserves are held. There result, these
- 40:13Speaker 1: geological sites around the Gulf coast where they keep the oil,
- 40:18Speaker 1: those are damaged because or flew out of there so quickly.
- 40:24Speaker 1: They need major innovations before any oil is either taken
- 40:28Speaker 1: out or more or put back in.
- 40:31Speaker 2: You know, I was complaining the other day that they hadn't.
- 40:35Speaker 1: Topped up the reserves before the war, and part of
- 40:39Speaker 1: the reason for that is that the storage facilities need
- 40:42Speaker 1: to be repaired before they can be filled.
- 40:45Speaker 2: So this is not Trump's fault. I might have been
- 40:49Speaker 2: wrong the other day again.
- 40:50Speaker 1: God anyway, so.
- 40:55Speaker 2: This is Biden's fault.
- 40:58Speaker 1: It cost about two hundred and eighteen million dollars to repair,
- 41:01Speaker 1: which is not that much money if you think about
- 41:04Speaker 1: the federal budget. But they haven't done it, and to
- 41:09Speaker 1: a draw more now is a problem. Now. It could
- 41:15Speaker 1: be that other countries, Paul, you know, use their reserves.
- 41:22Speaker 1: European countries have reserves, Canada has reserves. You know, East
- 41:27Speaker 1: Asian country sever reserves. All those reserves could also lower
- 41:31Speaker 1: the cost of oil in the global markets. So maybe
- 41:34Speaker 1: that is why the price of oil is not skyrocketing.
- 41:38Speaker 2: As far as everybody expected.
- 41:43Speaker 1: Oh right, finally on this topic, I guess more broadly,
- 41:47Speaker 1: it's worth noting then, in spite of oil going up,
- 41:51Speaker 1: in spite of the fact that people are worried about
- 41:54Speaker 1: how this war will end and what Trump will do
- 41:56Speaker 1: and regime change are not and what exactly is the
- 41:59Speaker 1: endgame nobody White exactly knows and Trump gives constant mixed signals.
- 42:04Speaker 1: In spite of all that uncertainty, the stop pucket has
- 42:09Speaker 1: not gone down a lot. I mean, in the last
- 42:13Speaker 1: two weeks since the start of the round world. The
- 42:15Speaker 1: S and P five hundred is down less than one percent,
- 42:26Speaker 1: less than one percent, So markets have not not that
- 42:37Speaker 1: terrified from what's going on.
- 42:40Speaker 2: So you know, we will see.
- 42:42Speaker 1: I mean, if you think about what he did in
- 42:44Speaker 1: Liberation Day and you know when the markets were down
- 42:48Speaker 1: twelve percent in just a few days. Now we're going
- 42:52Speaker 1: to war, which you think would have much bigger consequence.
- 42:56Speaker 1: The markets are kind of shugging it off, which is interesting,
- 43:00Speaker 1: Which is interesting. And you know, if I think that
- 43:03Speaker 1: if the market said plummeted during the war and continue
- 43:08Speaker 1: to plummet during the war, that would have been a
- 43:11Speaker 1: really bad sign. Also would have been a reason for
- 43:14Speaker 1: Trump to maybe stop the war early. Right, So it's
- 43:27Speaker 1: you know, market is responding well, and this suggest the
- 43:30Speaker 1: war is going maybe better than a lot of the
- 43:33Speaker 1: pundits would suggest. It is kind of trust markets, trust
- 43:39Speaker 1: market signals. All right. A quick reminder that the show
- 43:48Speaker 1: is funded through support of you guys listening and watching
- 43:52Speaker 1: live right now, and we have a target two hundred
- 43:58Speaker 1: and fifty dollars an hour. We're approaching the end of
- 44:01Speaker 1: the first hour. We got fifteen more minutes. There's plenty
- 44:03Speaker 1: of time, and we're showed about one hundred and fifty
- 44:06Speaker 1: dollars on that goal, So please consider doing a sticker
- 44:10Speaker 1: or doing a twenty dollars question so we can get
- 44:12Speaker 1: we can get the numbers up there and we can
- 44:15Speaker 1: cover kind of the the base for my time and
- 44:20Speaker 1: for the one book show. All right, of course, only
- 44:23Speaker 1: if you appreciate what I do, and you appreciate the show,
- 44:25Speaker 1: and you appreciate what.
- 44:26Speaker 2: So there we go.
- 44:26Speaker 1: Colleen just did twenty dollars. That's the way to do it.
- 44:29Speaker 2: Colleen did a sticker for twenty dollars.
- 44:32Speaker 1: Woland did a sticker for you know, Swiss Fank, So
- 44:37Speaker 1: who knows how much that's worth. It could be worth
- 44:38Speaker 1: a fortune Swiss the way Swiss Fanks just going up.
- 44:41Speaker 1: And of course it all got started with Jonathan Honing
- 44:46Speaker 1: putting in a sticker early in the show. So thank you, guys,
- 44:49Speaker 1: really really appreciate it. All right, So let's shift away
- 44:54Speaker 1: from the war and let's shift in New York City.
- 44:59Speaker 1: So Saturday afternoon, outside of the Mayor's residency in New
- 45:05Speaker 1: York City, Gracie Mansion, where Mumdani resides, there was a protest.
- 45:12Speaker 1: The protest was called stop the Islamic takeover of New
- 45:15Speaker 1: York City. Stop New York City public Muslim prayer organized
- 45:21Speaker 1: by some right wing influencer, Jack languo' neverhood of and
- 45:24Speaker 1: it was there to protest Mamdani. Now, this is a
- 45:31Speaker 1: group of up twenty people. And then there was a
- 45:34Speaker 1: group of about one hundred and twenty five people who
- 45:37Speaker 1: were counter protesting. They called themselves Run the Nazis out
- 45:42Speaker 1: of New York City stand against Hate, all right, So
- 45:45Speaker 1: just a standard New York you know, two groups protesting
- 45:49Speaker 1: one another and it just, you know, nothing, nothing to
- 45:53Speaker 1: see here. The police were there. It didn't look like
- 45:56Speaker 1: it was going to get out of hand. Everything was fine.
- 46:00Speaker 1: But then one of the counter protesters, one of the
- 46:05Speaker 1: Run the Nazis out of Town protesters, one of them
- 46:10Speaker 1: through an object towards the right wing group. Objects about
- 46:16Speaker 1: a size of a football with a lit fuse, and
- 46:22Speaker 1: the guy who threw it ran off. Now, initial reports
- 46:26Speaker 1: were that this was just a dummy, but the police
- 46:29Speaker 1: supposed to lease at the record straight on Sunday afternoon
- 46:31Speaker 1: by saying, quote, it is in fact an improvised explosive
- 46:35Speaker 1: device that could have caused serious injury or death. I'm
- 46:38Speaker 1: meeting this for a free press article, and ultimately officers
- 46:44Speaker 1: arrested two men in connection with the attack, Amir Balat
- 46:48Speaker 1: who's eighteen, who threw the bomb, and Brahimkyumi, nineteen, who
- 46:53Speaker 1: supplied the bomb, and the FBI is probing to see
- 46:56Speaker 1: if there were others involved. On videos, you can actually
- 47:01Speaker 1: hear someone shout a lock about right God, as great
- 47:06Speaker 1: as the bomb is being thrown, it was probably the
- 47:11Speaker 1: guy who threw it that shouted that. The interesting thing
- 47:17Speaker 1: is this is way and of reported Almost nobody's reporting
- 47:21Speaker 1: it now. You know, it looks like a pretty amateuristic thing.
- 47:23Speaker 1: The thing didn't go off, but if it had gone off,
- 47:26Speaker 1: people would have been injured and potentially killed.
- 47:29Speaker 2: It was a real bomb.
- 47:33Speaker 1: And you know, supposedly they threw the bomb because they
- 47:40Speaker 1: believe the protesters were insulting Islam and they were inspired
- 47:46Speaker 1: and radicalized by watching ISIS videos.
- 47:51Speaker 2: See who you have Isis.
- 47:54Speaker 1: In New York. In New York, kus Mamdani completely ignored it.
- 48:04Speaker 1: This is what he wrote yesterday. White submamasist Jack Lang
- 48:07Speaker 1: organized a protest outside Gracie Mansion. Rooted in bigotry and racism.
- 48:11Speaker 1: Such hate there is no place in New York City.
- 48:13Speaker 1: It is an affront to US cities values and unity.
- 48:16Speaker 1: The defines who we are. What followed was even more disturbing.
- 48:19Speaker 1: Violence at the protest is never acceptable. That tempt to
- 48:22Speaker 1: use an explosive device and hurt others is not only criminal,
- 48:26Speaker 1: it is reprehensible and antithesis of who we are. Without
- 48:30Speaker 1: saying who through the device which side of the protest,
- 48:33Speaker 1: you would think that it was the racist and biggoty
- 48:36Speaker 1: through it. I wanted to thank the brave men and
- 48:39Speaker 1: women of NYPD who actively to keep New York safe.
- 48:42Speaker 1: Our officers ran towards danger without hesitation, demonstrating once again
- 48:47Speaker 1: the courage and dedication it takes to protect.
- 48:49Speaker 2: The city every single day.
- 48:50Speaker 1: My administration is closely monitoring the situation, and I remain
- 48:54Speaker 1: in close contact with Police Commissioner. No mention of Islam,
- 48:59Speaker 1: no vices, no mention of a lock above nothing. It's
- 49:06Speaker 1: just violence. It could like violence just rained in from
- 49:09Speaker 1: the sky. It just came from somewhere. We don't know where,
- 49:12Speaker 1: and maybe it's not even clear from the statement, maybe
- 49:16Speaker 1: it came from the white subemaicist. Instead of denouncing a
- 49:22Speaker 1: terrorist attack, he denounces quote violence, I mean now, of course,
- 49:31Speaker 1: even using the word terrorism would be would be wrong.
- 49:36Speaker 1: What he needs to denounce, what has to be denounced
- 49:38Speaker 1: is Islamism. But then what do you expect, I mean,
- 49:41Speaker 1: George Bush wouldn't denounce Islamism. Why would you expect Mamdani
- 49:46Speaker 1: to denounce Islamism? So you know, we get we get
- 49:52Speaker 1: an Islamist throwing a bomb and it's just violence. Violence
- 49:55Speaker 1: is happening in New York. Bad violence bad. We don't
- 49:58Speaker 1: want violence. Good policemen. This is the state of the culture.
- 50:05Speaker 2: This is where we are.
- 50:08Speaker 1: All right, some good news. I've got three good news stories.
- 50:16Speaker 2: Can you believe it? Three good news stories?
- 50:19Speaker 1: First, Jan Li Kun Young Li Kun, who are believers
- 50:26Speaker 1: of Chinese origin, but who is a pioneer in the
- 50:29Speaker 1: field of artificial intelligence and was the head of artificial
- 50:32Speaker 1: intelligence at a META. But who left And I remember
- 50:36Speaker 1: I talked on the show about the fact that he left,
- 50:39Speaker 1: saying that l elms were dead end. That wasn't that
- 50:45Speaker 1: wasn't the essence of AI. AI could do a lot better.
- 50:49Speaker 1: And he left META. Well, he has started a company
- 50:54Speaker 1: basically promising to invent technology much more capable of navigating
- 51:00Speaker 1: real world challenges.
- 51:03Speaker 2: Then the lms that.
- 51:05Speaker 1: You know, chetchipt and Cloud and all the Claude and
- 51:07Speaker 1: all of these things. The startup, which is only three
- 51:11Speaker 1: months old, is called Advanced Machine Intelligence, and it has
- 51:16Speaker 1: just announced that it raised one point zero three billion
- 51:21Speaker 1: dollars in an opening we used to call seed round
- 51:28Speaker 1: one point zero three billion, with a valuation of three
- 51:32Speaker 1: point five billion dollars. Like the company's three months old
- 51:39Speaker 1: produced nothing so far. Is proposing something super speculative that
- 51:46Speaker 1: he can design an AI system that's not an LLLM,
- 51:51Speaker 1: and that a lot of the big companies have passed
- 51:54Speaker 1: on and excuse me, and investors are giving them a
- 52:06Speaker 1: valuation of three point five billion. It really is amazing.
- 52:10Speaker 1: The money has come in from you know, Cathay Innovations,
- 52:13Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos investment office, in Nvidia, Samsung, uh, let's say
- 52:19Speaker 1: beat a great craft, Hero capital in an HV capital.
- 52:26Speaker 1: It's one of the largest first funding rounds ever in Europe.
- 52:30Speaker 1: So this was raised in Europe and the companies in Europe,
- 52:33Speaker 1: and it's just h it's just stunning the amount of
- 52:37Speaker 1: money it's for again, something completely unproproven, really a research project, right,
- 52:43Speaker 1: not even not even a real company yet, but he's
- 52:48Speaker 1: got one point zero three billion dollars, so he's got
- 52:50Speaker 1: a lot of runway. You can hire a lot of people,
- 52:52Speaker 1: he can do a lot of stuff.
- 52:55Speaker 2: I guess he's French. I don't know why I thought
- 52:57Speaker 2: he was. No, he's not.
- 52:59Speaker 1: Yeah, I see aturevin Yan y a n n. I
- 53:02Speaker 1: thought that's Chinese name. No, he's French. So he's a
- 53:05Speaker 1: French computer scientist. Again. He used to work ran research
- 53:10Speaker 1: for Mata uh and is now and now is is
- 53:14Speaker 1: Uh has his own company. He's a big critic of
- 53:18Speaker 1: large language models and uh, yeah, we'll see.
- 53:22Speaker 2: I mean it's exciting.
- 53:23Speaker 1: It's exciting to see capitol flowing into new technologies, whether
- 53:27Speaker 1: it fails or succeeded, succeeds, it's it's exciting to see
- 53:31Speaker 1: new stuff being done and people pushing the boundaries and
- 53:34Speaker 1: not settling for just l ll ms but looking for
- 53:38Speaker 1: for better and greater stuff. And you know, he's very
- 53:43Speaker 1: very well regarded. The company will be based in Paris,
- 53:48Speaker 1: not a good but he will have officers in New York,
- 53:51Speaker 1: Montreal and Singapore. Uh and uh, we will see. He's
- 53:56Speaker 1: a big critic of Donald Trumpet turns out, so maybe
- 53:59Speaker 1: that's what he's in Paris. Exciting to watch. We'll see
- 54:06Speaker 1: what happens. We'll see what happens. Right. You know, these
- 54:12Speaker 1: aiming to build what's called the world model that learns
- 54:16Speaker 1: abstract representatives representations of reality, similar to the mental models
- 54:21Speaker 1: humans use the reason and guide action in the physical world.
- 54:25Speaker 1: I'm a little skeptical, right, but let him try and
- 54:29Speaker 1: maybe something good will come of it, even if he doesn't.
- 54:32Speaker 2: Even if he's not going to achieve what I don't
- 54:34Speaker 2: think he can achieve.
- 54:37Speaker 1: These systems predict how situations evolve and how actions lead
- 54:40Speaker 1: to consequences, so that they can plan sequences of actions
- 54:44Speaker 1: under real world constraints. He'll have a billion dollars to
- 54:49Speaker 1: prove that he can build something like that. That was
- 54:53Speaker 1: good news number one. Good news number two. For the
- 54:57Speaker 1: first time in fifty two years, first time in fifty
- 55:04Speaker 1: two years, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved the
- 55:09Speaker 1: construction of a nuclear reactor based on you know, a
- 55:14Speaker 1: co coolant technology invented after nineteen sixty so a modern
- 55:22Speaker 1: nuclear popland. First time they've approved it, and they just
- 55:27Speaker 1: have so terror power. You know, Advanced Reactor project in
- 55:34Speaker 1: Wyoming just received construction permit from the government. It's the
- 55:40Speaker 1: first commercial non light water power react to construction permit
- 55:45Speaker 1: to be proved ever by the NRC.
- 55:49Speaker 2: So that's good.
- 55:53Speaker 1: You know, we're moving towards maybe some nuclear poplands and
- 55:57Speaker 1: maybe new technologies and maybe some innovation in the nuclear power.
- 56:01Speaker 1: I think the tide has really shifted, and I think
- 56:04Speaker 1: this is partially Trump, but it's I think it's broader
- 56:06Speaker 1: than that. I think even Democrats now recognize that nuclear
- 56:12Speaker 1: is the future. Nuclear is the future. Finally, flying cars.
- 56:20Speaker 1: I know you all want your flying cars, but the
- 56:24Speaker 1: US Department of Transportation is announced that new aircraft, flying
- 56:30Speaker 1: car like aircraft will be in the sky as early
- 56:33Speaker 1: as June of this year. These aircraft are going to
- 56:37Speaker 1: be able to take off in land the way helicopters do,
- 56:41Speaker 1: but are going to fly like airplanes. They are launching
- 56:48Speaker 1: a three year pilot program that will again start in June.
- 56:54Speaker 1: They'll have eight different aircraft designs, and these aircraft will
- 56:58Speaker 1: carry people and cars go around the country before the
- 57:03Speaker 1: FAA regulatory agency has issued full certification. Oh my god,
- 57:09Speaker 1: what's going to happen? The regulators have not fully certified
- 57:12Speaker 1: it and it's already flying.
- 57:14Speaker 2: What are we going to do. We'll survive. The initiative
- 57:18Speaker 2: will will.
- 57:19Speaker 1: Span twenty six states, including New York, New Jersey, Florida,
- 57:22Speaker 1: and New Mexico.
- 57:27Speaker 2: It's going to be super interesting.
- 57:29Speaker 1: The aircraft, I suppose, the quieter, less expensive than helicopters
- 57:35Speaker 1: or airplanes. Several of them, like the vertical, have vertical
- 57:41Speaker 1: takeoff and some of them have what's it called ultras
- 57:46Speaker 1: takeoff takeoff, so they can take off and land with
- 57:50Speaker 1: a lot less space and don't require traditional airports. So
- 57:55Speaker 1: it's going to be interesting to see how they're gonna
- 57:57Speaker 1: be used and where they're gonna be used. But they're
- 58:00Speaker 1: talking about having urban taxi services, regional passenger transportation, and
- 58:08Speaker 1: used for emergency emergency response operations. So for all of
- 58:13Speaker 1: you who have been complaining that you don't have your
- 58:18Speaker 1: flying car, it looks like it might be happening. It
- 58:22Speaker 1: looks like it might happen at least in a form
- 58:25Speaker 1: of taxi services. They're going to be flying. They're calling
- 58:28Speaker 1: this the way more moment of these of flying flying cars.
- 58:36Speaker 1: We're looking at, you know, a number of different companies
- 58:43Speaker 1: funded by some big guys like Toyota and Jet Blue,
- 58:49Speaker 1: and yeah, it's going to be it's going to be
- 58:53Speaker 1: really fun and interesting to watch this and exciting that
- 58:57Speaker 1: in spite of everything, in spite of the world going crazy,
- 59:00Speaker 1: it's why everything going on with the world. Cool stuff
- 59:03Speaker 1: is happening. Cool stuff is happening, Innovation is happening. People
- 59:08Speaker 1: are still thinking out of the box there, still coming
- 59:10Speaker 1: up with new ideas. They're still putting themselves out there
- 59:13Speaker 1: and trying to trying to do new stuff. All right,
- 59:17Speaker 1: It appears then as I was going through the topics,
- 59:20Speaker 1: I was so rushing to get to something positive that
- 59:24Speaker 1: I skipped the portion of the section on Piers Morgan.
- 59:31Speaker 1: So I'm giving you the section on Piers Morgan. Will
- 59:35Speaker 1: do it now instead of back then we'll do it
- 59:36Speaker 1: at the end. There's been a little uprising against Piers Morgan.
- 59:43Speaker 1: Like my guest yesterday, Andrew Fox yesterday basically went public
- 59:48Speaker 1: with the fact that he will not go on Piers
- 59:50Speaker 1: Morgan show and turned them down. And then pers Morgan
- 59:54Speaker 1: was like all pissed off and upset and like, nobody
- 59:56Speaker 1: would invite you anyway, and we don't know who you
- 59:58Speaker 1: are anyway, but he was invited by this and he
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: turned them down, so uh, and and the basis for
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: turning him down is you keep platforming these complete ignoramuses
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: who know nothing about topics, like Dave Smith is a
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: good example of of that. But but others like Dave
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: Smith who know nothing about topics, who lie all the time,
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: you repeat their lies. I'm just not going to go
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: on the show. And and sanctioned. He didn't use this
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: term sanction what you're doing with the show. Now it
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: turns out that Dave Rubin as well has now declined
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: to ever appear on Piers Morgan's show, and uh and
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: and basically said, you know, I don't want to have
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: anything to do with kind of the what what you're
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: what you're doing? I mean, Dave Ruben on Monday called
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: Piers Morgan a treacherous little weasel and basically black blacklisted
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: him and his show. Oh you know, I guess this
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: all happened after Piers Morgan ripped Ben Shapiro in a
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: monologue on Piers Morgan Uncensored, accusing the Daily Wire I'm
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: eating from a media release accusing the Daily Wii co
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: founder being a propagandist for Israel. Dave Rubin publicly told
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: Shapiro took shapiro'side commenting Piers would sell his mother to
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: a jihadist for a click. Pierce was very upset. You know,
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: four months ago I drove out to do Rubin's podcast
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: at his home in Miami as a personal favor, because
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: he's done my show many times. I thought we were friends.
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: How wrong could I be? What a treacherous little weasel
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: being Nataniel's useful idiot has sent him in Shapiro nuts.
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, this is this is.
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: I'm really happy to see this. The fact that, you know,
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: I've often talked about this idea of sanction and you
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: shouldn't sanction really really evil hubbable people, And this is
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: a good example. You know, people should stop going on
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: ps Morgan show. He is platforming the worst kind of people.
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: Nick foyantes. He's platforming Dave Smith over and over and
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: over again, as if he's some expert on the Middle East,
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: when the guy is an ignorant fool. He platforms hubbably
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: anti Israeli people who are ultimately supports and then he
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: attacks man Shapiro out of nowhere right as being a
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: stooge for the israelis I guess. Shapiro described Piers Morgan
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: as the Jerry Springer of political television. I like that,
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: accusing him of making a mockery of the entire industry
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: by putting on screen whatever dregs are still willing to
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: go on this show. So the fact that people are
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: refusing him thumbs up, I'm all for that. I would
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: turn him down. I wouldn't go on.
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: You know, he is not it's a it's not a worthwhile,
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: credible show. All right.
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: Let me just see something here right, That is the
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: news guys for this Tuesday, March tenth.

- 1:07:32Speaker 1: All right, and let's see what else that I want
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: to say.
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: I think we're good.
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: I think we're good. Yeah, remind you to become Patreon supporters,
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: Patreon monthly regular supporters. That would be amazing. We'd love
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: to have many of you. You can do it at
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: two dollars, you can do it all the way to
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: five hundred dollars, you know, particularly for me valuable or
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: one hundred, two fifty five hundred.
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: Those are incredible.
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: Yeah, really really appreciate if some of you who listen
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: we're not here alive, don't do the super Chat, well,
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: do do super Chat, but would like to also become
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: monthly supporters. Please consider that it is a great help
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: to the show because it's completely predictable, all right, Marcel,
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: Marcel la I think I think it's marcella thank you
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: for the stick for the for the sticker.
- 1:08:29Speaker 2: She says, thank you, you're on.
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: Oh he says, I don't know if it's Massella Marsella. Anyway,
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: thank you Marcella, and really appreciate one hundred dollars. That
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: has gotten us our first hour goal. So now we
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: just need to get to the second our goal. It's doable.
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: We can do it. We can make it all right, Michael.
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: If the stock market does very well for the remainder
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: of Trump's term, will that give mag a credibility despite
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: its destructiveness and other sectors. I don't see how. I mean,
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: the stock market did really really well under Biden. Last
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: two years of Biden it went up twenty five percent
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: each year, and year before that it went up as well,
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: so he had it was a huge positive running squreak.
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: I mean, it's some of the best performances. So this
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: a P five hundred. Ever, that didn't give Biden any credibility.
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: I don't think the stock market is that important in
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: terms of votes. It's important if it goes down, that's
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: definitely important. Marcella. Okay, thank you Marcella, thanks for clarifying that,
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: and again, thank you, really.
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: Really really appreciate the support.
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: Starkvik. Going down hurts you stockby going up, I'm not
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: sure it helps you a lot.
- 1:09:45Speaker 2: Not sure it helps you a lot.
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: Laran, What would most rapidly demorlize supporters of the Islamic Republic?
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: Should we expect surrender or collapse. You will not get surrender,
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: you will see collapse. We'll demodelize.
- 1:10:04Speaker 2: What would.
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: Demodelize the supporters of the regime. I think taking out
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: the supreme media again.
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: I think more uh.
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: I think these assassinations are big. I think taking on
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: more of the Islamic revolutionary God leadership. I think just
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: the continued bombombment of their cities uh and and and
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: and the continued just the impotence of the regime showing
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: the impotence. This is why I think bombing h infrastructure
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: that hurts the civilian population is a good thing, because
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: they'd realize just how incapable the regime is of helping them.
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: And maybe some statements out of Trump saying, you know,
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: if we if the regime collapses or if they're surrender,
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: if there is a democratic or liberal the ococracy in Iran,
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: we will help fund your reconstruction. We will make it
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: easy for you. You know, maybe we'll take a percentage
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: of your oil, but we won't make it easier for
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: you to regain regain this infrastructure. So something that presents
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: on the one side, the regime is just just going
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: to destroy, just going to destroy their destroy the country,
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: destroy their lives, make it horrific for them. And on
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: the other hand, in America that is committed to an
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: Iranian revival, I don't think you need to bomb the
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: civilian population. I'm saying to bomb the infrastructure, the benefits
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: of civilian population, like Israel did with the oil depots.
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: I think more like that, more like that, the Uranians
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: are bombing only the civilian population in Israel. They are
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: bombing nothing else but the civilian population in Israel. Not
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: a single missile Iranian missile has hit any military installation,
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: any industrial installation.
- 1:12:09Speaker 2: All the Iranian bombs have.
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: Been targeted and hit residential buildings, and that's all they target.
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: The Iranians, you know, the bombing apartment buildings in Bahrain,
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: the bombing hotels in Dubai. They're acting exactly the opposite
- 1:12:31Speaker 1: of these Raelis and Americans. The Israelis are Americans, super
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: careful not to hit anything that is related to the
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: civilian population. And the Iranians are lobbing bombs to kill
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: as many civilians as they can, and that's all they do.
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: They did that during the Twelve Day War, they're doing
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: it now. They did it before the Twelve Day War,
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: lobbing them into central Tel Aviv, lobbing them into Haifer.
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: And of course they're having almost no success. They're hitting
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: very little. But when one of those missiles comes through,
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: and now they're using cluster bombs where the missouf breaks
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: up into lots of things that you can't shoot down,
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: all of it targeted at civilians. All of that, they
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: have not hit a single military base. And I can
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: tell you that because you know, my parents actually from
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: their bulcany look out onto the Gulf of Heifer and
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: they can see all the industrial, you know, facilities in
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: this world.
- 1:13:32Speaker 2: They can see military bases.
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: Nothing there but hitting the population centers where people are living,
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: where civilians are living.
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: Yeah, that's all they do. That's all they do.
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: So you can go choll somebody somebody else, not here, buddy,
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: all right, I mean people just speak without knowing anything, right,
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: I mean, it really is pathetic, all right, James do
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: compulsive liars like Tucker and Candae actually get the point
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: of believing their own lives.
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: Yes, I think they do.
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: It's like any kind of mystics. They get captured. I mean,
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: he's under a spell.
- 1:14:17Speaker 2: Oops.
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: Remember Tucker yesterday talking about spells. With anybody's under a spell?
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: He is, he's under this mystical thing where he believes
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: his own lives. I think I think this happens to
- 1:14:35Speaker 1: mystics a lot. They must know on some level it
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: is all bs and a game, the sustaining fund income.
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: At some level they know it, but they couldn't. They
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: couldn't hold it. They couldn't do their job if they
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: constantly held that. So you know, they they evade it
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: and they go on believe, leaving their own bullshit. Not
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: your average algorithm. Could it?
- 1:15:06Speaker 2: Would it be rights?
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: Would it be rights violations to have the police round
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: up every homeless person and force them into shelters of
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: mental institutions. If you can't be so sufficient, you don't
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: have full rights. Well, no, it's just that they don't
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: have a right to lodge on other people's property. So
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: if we assume that the sidewalks and the roads and
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: the park's actual property right now owned in you know,
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: in quotation marks by the state. They don't have a
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: right to just camp any way they want.
- 1:15:38Speaker 2: It's not theirs.
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: So it's not violating rights to round them up and
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: put them in facilities especially designed for them so you
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: can't trespass. And then includes in government property. You can't
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: trespass in government property. So it's absolutely not a rights
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: violation to round them up and put them in some
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: way where they can be taken care of, or just
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: out in the wilderness where they don't bother anybody. Leam.
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: After Trump, Trump and MEGA are gone in three years,
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: how does objectivism rise?
- 1:16:20Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I don't think anything changes.
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: Right now. The strategy is to develop new intellectuals and
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: to have them go out there into the world and
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: promote these ideas videos and articles and books in classes
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: any way they can. And that's how that's how objectivism rises.
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: With lots and lots of intellectuals out there, we need
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: more quick and says Tomawk Cruz, I don't know what
- 1:16:51Speaker 1: that question is. Tomawk is a cruise missil. It's in
- 1:16:55Speaker 1: a very advanced American cruise mis celf, so but I'm
- 1:16:58Speaker 1: not sure what the question refers. To Paul, do you
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: understand the Iranian strategy? If they want to destroy Israel,
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: why are they firing so many missiles at the Arabs. Well,
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: they know they can't destroy Israel. Their whole strategy is
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: to create pressure on Trump to stop the war.
- 1:17:17Speaker 2: It's the whole strategy, and you do that.
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: They can't inflict enough damage on Israel to get Israel
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: to want to stop the war, So they are hoping
- 1:17:26Speaker 1: that by inflicting damage on the Gulf States, the Golf
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: States will turn around and start putting pressure on Trump
- 1:17:31Speaker 1: to stop the war. Plus, if they can slow oil,
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: that'll provide more pressure on Trump to stop the war.
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: The whole strategy is a psychological strategy against Trump, Right,
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: that's the whole thing. Roman she calling for ethnic unity
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: fascism grows. Yeah, I saw that, Avenue read exactly what
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: he said. So let's hold on off of me commenting
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: on that until I read what he actually says. But yes,
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: there's I mean, there are fifty six ethnic groups in China,
- 1:18:11Speaker 1: so I don't know how you get ethnic unity with
- 1:18:13Speaker 1: fifty six different ethnic groups that identify themselves differently. How
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: did to know exactly what she is talking about? I'll
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: have to read up on it. Roman says Ukraine is advancing.
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: How will Putin react, I mean, just throw more troops
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: at it. He might ultimately react by calling for mobilization
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: for a draft in Russia. But he doesn't have any options.
- 1:18:41Speaker 1: He does not have many options. He does not have
- 1:18:43Speaker 1: a strong hand. He does not hold the cards. In
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: spite of what Trump said, Roman Ibrahim too banned all
- 1:18:53Speaker 1: parties for promoting division amongst citizens and weakening the social fabric.
- 1:18:57Speaker 2: Thoughts are parties good or evil?
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: Well, I mean having political opposition and having political alternatives
- 1:19:08Speaker 1: is good. Whether the structures are parties or other ways
- 1:19:11Speaker 1: is bad. But you know, banning all parties is clearly
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: evil and wrong and anti liberty and anti freedom. If
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: I want to form a party, it's none of the
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: government's business, so it's absolutely wrong to ban them. Whether
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: it lands up being the most effective way to promote liberty,
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: to promote freedom, to promote disagreement and options in politics,
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: that is an open question. But I don't know of
- 1:19:37Speaker 1: any alternative to parties, And given that, I would say
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: they were good.
- 1:19:41Speaker 2: Absolutely, they were good.
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: But whatever, whether they're good or evil, no government has
- 1:19:47Speaker 1: a right to ban them. John if Heron decides to
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: sink tankers passing through Homos. What's the most lethal weapons
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: systems they possess to do this? Missile's minds drown, canon
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: escort ship realistically protect from all these Yeah, I mean
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: they have all of that.
- 1:20:05Speaker 2: They have.
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: They have missiles, mines and drones and canon escorte. Yeah,
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: I mean they escort ships so equipped with anti drone technology,
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: they can shoot the drones down. They can they can
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: shoot ballistic missiles down or uh, you know, uh, ground
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: to see missiles. Not clear what tech the Uranians actually
- 1:20:28Speaker 1: have when it comes to ground to see missiles, So
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: how to tell how good they are? And then in
- 1:20:32Speaker 1: terms of mines, the United States would have to has
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: minesweepers so it can go in then clear out the mines.
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: Not easy.
- 1:20:40Speaker 2: Minds are probably the trickiest of all.
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: They're small mines and all kinds of places, and it's
- 1:20:47Speaker 1: time consuming to to get rid of the mines. It's
- 1:20:50Speaker 1: very time consuming. So and again, the Uranians have thousands
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: of them they could put out there. Technically they could
- 1:21:01Speaker 1: have underwood drones. I don't know if the Ranians do.
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything suggesting that they do. But yeah,
- 1:21:06Speaker 1: all of those. But I think I think American warships,
- 1:21:10Speaker 1: French warships, any warships.
- 1:21:12Speaker 2: Would know how to deal with that, would know how
- 1:21:14Speaker 2: to deal with them.
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: Freendhopper, In what order would you recommend watching objectives and
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: through induction, understanding objectivism, and ought of thinking. I've listened
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: to them before, but four years ago and planning to
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: re listen. God, I would say understanding objectivism out of thinking,
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: and then objectives and through induction. I think objectives and
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: through induction ultimately is the most advanced, and the other
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: two provide context. Linda, thank you for the sticker. Really
- 1:21:51Speaker 1: appreciate that. Ruh. Since you don't have boots on the ground,
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: I wonder if there's a way to communicate with the resist.
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: Dropping notes all over the city and supplying them with goods.
- 1:22:06Speaker 2: Can't weigh the word. I mean, look, there is communication
- 1:22:11Speaker 2: with the people in the ground.
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: It's through the Masada and the CIA having people on
- 1:22:16Speaker 1: the ground, so they are boots on the ground. It's
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: just not vast numbers of soldiers, but especially Israeli special
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: forces are most likely on the ground in various areas
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: in Iran and the Mosade.
- 1:22:27Speaker 2: Is there and so it's the CIA.
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: So there are various ways to communicate and even ways
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: to supply them with weapons. You can smuggle weapons in
- 1:22:36Speaker 1: from Iraq. You can smuggle weapons in from Azerbaijan, which
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: is an ally of Israel in the United States. So
- 1:22:43Speaker 1: all of that is possible. Whether it's being done, I
- 1:22:45Speaker 1: don't know, but it's all possible. Christian One additional news story,
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: Australia has given five women from female football team of
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: Iran asylum. They asked for help and got it. I'm
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: happy for them. Yes, I covered that yesterday. He did
- 1:23:00Speaker 1: talk about it yesterday. They refused to think sing the
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: national anthem and they would have been persecuted if they'd
- 1:23:06Speaker 1: gone back to you one.
- 1:23:07Speaker 2: It's a good for Australia. O.
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: Even if you had two alternatives before the war started,
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: would you one prefer Congress saying no and potus accepting
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: two going to without the acceptance of Congress. Does two
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: lead to the system dissolving? I mean, god, I don't
- 1:23:29Speaker 1: think two leads the system dissolving because two has been
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: the practice of American presidents now for decades, so it
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: wouldn't It's not new. Not asking for Congress and the
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: system hasn't dissolved, It's gotten weaker, and every time Congress
- 1:23:47Speaker 1: is ignored, it gets weaker.
- 1:23:48Speaker 2: Still.
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: I think this is an important war to get done,
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: and I don't think you would have gotten to know,
- 1:23:58Speaker 1: so I think it's a false alternate.
- 1:24:01Speaker 2: But I'm not worried about this is the thing.
- 1:24:05Speaker 1: I mean. Trump does so many things that are unconstitutional,
- 1:24:08Speaker 1: and if pedecessors has done so many things, and as
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: I've said, eighty plus percent of everything the government does
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: is unconstitutional, and so much of it hegnows Congress, and
- 1:24:19Speaker 1: Congress in some ways deserves to be ignored, given that
- 1:24:23Speaker 1: it takes no initiative. It refuses to reign Trump in
- 1:24:28Speaker 1: on anything. Right, I am still optimistic about this war.
- 1:24:36Speaker 1: I think Israel and the United States are working on
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: setting the condition.
- 1:24:40Speaker 2: For regime change.
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: They're destroying the many forces and methods that the regimers
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: used to suppress the population. I also think the Rangers
- 1:24:50Speaker 1: stupid enough, the Uranians are stupid enough not to cut
- 1:24:53Speaker 1: a deal, and therefore we'll keep fighting.
- 1:24:55Speaker 2: And therefore it's going to be very difficult for.
- 1:24:58Speaker 1: Trump to stop the the clear victory when the Iranians
- 1:25:03Speaker 1: are still launching missiles and also when he hasn't got
- 1:25:06Speaker 1: the nuclear program taking care of. So I'm going to
- 1:25:13Speaker 1: be cautiously optimistic that good things are still going to
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: happen here and that regime change might still be possible.
- 1:25:25Speaker 1: I mean, here's just you know, you never know.
- 1:25:27Speaker 2: This is again what do you call it? Fog of war?
- 1:25:31Speaker 1: Important development are happening inside Iran that many people may
- 1:25:34Speaker 1: not be aware of, right But Luke fighters these are
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: the fighters in the east of the country that the
- 1:25:41Speaker 1: Pakistanis are worried about. But Luke fighters are reportedly announced
- 1:25:45Speaker 1: they are joining Kurdish forces in Iranian Kurdistan to help
- 1:25:48Speaker 1: fight against the Iranian regime.
- 1:25:50Speaker 2: I'm skeptical about that.
- 1:25:51Speaker 1: At the same time, Arab groups from how Was this
- 1:25:54Speaker 1: is in the south where the oil is, this is
- 1:25:57Speaker 1: the oil region release the statement warning about out fake
- 1:26:00Speaker 1: messages circulating online claiming to represent their tribes. They say
- 1:26:04Speaker 1: those statements are fabricated to divide their movement. There's a
- 1:26:09Speaker 1: lot of in otherwise, a lot of tension and a
- 1:26:11Speaker 1: lot of stuff going on. You know, there's a lot
- 1:26:17Speaker 1: of fragmentation in rock and uh, it's going to be
- 1:26:21Speaker 1: it's it's it's tough to keep it all together, and
- 1:26:26Speaker 1: you know, it's going to be interesting to see what happens.
- 1:26:28Speaker 1: But there's a lot of opportunities for a lot of
- 1:26:30Speaker 1: different elements to rise up and help whatever whatever uprising
- 1:26:35Speaker 1: there is in the future. Let me just see. Yeah,
- 1:26:46Speaker 1: I mean, I assume that if the Ranians are putting
