- 3:02Speaker 1: many of you coming to Porto? So far we've got
- 3:06Speaker 1: like four people. O. You fortunately get to know each other.
- 3:14Speaker 1: Right in Arkansas, it's still snowing it's still basic eighty
- 3:18Speaker 1: two degrees here, still basically eighty two degrees here. All right,
- 3:23Speaker 1: let's jump in as I'm sure you know, because if
- 3:27Speaker 1: you didn't know, you were living in I don't know,
- 3:29Speaker 1: a different planet or something. But on Saturday before the
- 3:35Speaker 1: AMA Show, so I did comment on this a little bit.
- 3:37Speaker 1: You're in the AMA Show. But on Saturday, Ice did murder.
- 3:43Speaker 1: I think it's it's clear to say another civilian in
- 3:48Speaker 1: Minneapolis in Minnesota in this case, you know, you can
- 3:54Speaker 1: watch the videos again, they're mini angles. I think there's
- 3:57Speaker 1: a lot less this agreement about what happened in this case.
- 4:03Speaker 1: I think there's basically agreement about what happened and how
- 4:08Speaker 1: it happened and who's it folds and and uh and
- 4:10Speaker 1: stuff like that. Uh. But but basically, a guy, Alex
- 4:15Speaker 1: pretty pretty I think his name is, was filming Ice
- 4:20Speaker 1: and uh, basically at some point it was pepper sprayed
- 4:28Speaker 1: and then uh, it's unclear, it kind of fell backwards
- 4:33Speaker 1: and like all these Ice people right on top of
- 4:36Speaker 1: him and they started kicking him. And then one guy
- 4:39Speaker 1: is you know, punching him in the it looks like
- 4:42Speaker 1: in the face, but punching him and punching him, and
- 4:44Speaker 1: then at some point they discover he's he's actually carrying
- 4:48Speaker 1: a gun. It's it's in his hole stuff. He's not
- 4:50Speaker 1: he has he's not brandished it, he's not taking it out,
- 4:53Speaker 1: he's not pointed at anybody. The pointing was all done
- 4:56Speaker 1: with his phone bit his hands completely free, and and
- 5:00Speaker 1: one officer draws a gun on him. Another officer takes
- 5:05Speaker 1: the gun that he's got in a hole sta away
- 5:09Speaker 1: and walks backwards. And within a second or less than
- 5:14Speaker 1: a second of him walking back with the gun that
- 5:18Speaker 1: the guy's lying on the ground now after being beaten
- 5:21Speaker 1: in all these cops on top of him. Then you
- 5:23Speaker 1: hear a shot, and then you hear three shots, and
- 5:28Speaker 1: then there are ultimately ten shots overall, ten shots overall,
- 5:36Speaker 1: hidden the stomach, hitting the lungs, hid in the neck.
- 5:40Speaker 1: These are not cops, ice agents. That I say, cops,
- 5:43Speaker 1: not cops, ice agents, maybe build a patrol agents, but
- 5:47Speaker 1: not cops. And you know, of course, like in a
- 5:53Speaker 1: case of good resistant completely resisting, allowing local police to
- 6:02Speaker 1: secure the area like you do in a crime scene,
- 6:04Speaker 1: like you do even when when the copies justified, like
- 6:08Speaker 1: you do in a shooting. Any shooting, You secure the
- 6:10Speaker 1: crime scene, you take witness testimony, you take in evidence,
- 6:14Speaker 1: you do the work of police. But these federal agents
- 6:19Speaker 1: they're immune. So what's the point of having an investigation
- 6:22Speaker 1: because we know they're not guilty, So you know, they
- 6:26Speaker 1: can shoot anybody right in the middle of Fifth Avenue,
- 6:29Speaker 1: we're told, and it really doesn't matter. No investigation is needed.
- 6:34Speaker 1: So why let the local police investigate? Why do the
- 6:39Speaker 1: investigation yourself? Why secure the evidence? Why secure white get
- 6:43Speaker 1: testimonies and stuff like that and witnesses when there's no
- 6:47Speaker 1: point because you can't do anything about it because the
- 6:49Speaker 1: guy's got immunity, or at least that is the position
- 6:52Speaker 1: ICE is taking anyway, obstructing the obstructed local police in
- 6:56Speaker 1: doing an investigation. They rushed the agents that were involved
- 6:59Speaker 1: in the assault out of the state of Minnesota so
- 7:04Speaker 1: they could not be arrested and they could not be
- 7:05Speaker 1: questioned or anything like that. They're still on duty somewhere else.
- 7:10Speaker 1: Their names are not being disclosed because God forbid we
- 7:13Speaker 1: docks an ICE agent. God forbid we actually identify a
- 7:16Speaker 1: DOCS agent and an ICE agent with a name. You
- 7:19Speaker 1: know how cops walk along with with a name with
- 7:21Speaker 1: a badge with a name, not ICE agent, ICE agents,
- 7:25Speaker 1: the secret secret agents. You I supposed to know who
- 7:28Speaker 1: they are. Immediately, of course, Gnome uh and the rest
- 7:36Speaker 1: of the people at the Department of Homeland Security came
- 7:39Speaker 1: out and claimed that the guy was brandishing a gun.
- 7:43Speaker 1: Then they said he had a gun in the hostuff,
- 7:46Speaker 1: but the gun was fully loaded, and he had two cattridges,
- 7:50Speaker 1: and that he was intending to shoot people to a
- 7:55Speaker 1: mass shooting against ICE. Why, well asked, how do you
- 8:00Speaker 1: know this? Well, why would you come to a demonstration.
- 8:05Speaker 1: Why would you come to demonstration with a fully loaded
- 8:09Speaker 1: semi automatic pistol and two countries? Is unless you intended
- 8:13Speaker 1: to use them? I mean that makes complete sense, right,
- 8:18Speaker 1: And and God forbid, we actually have evidence, we have
- 8:20Speaker 1: to evidence of intent. There's a letter, there's there's there's
- 8:23Speaker 1: some indication of this guy being a radical who wants
- 8:26Speaker 1: to kill a bunch of people. No, we don't. We
- 8:28Speaker 1: don't need evidence in America anymore. No, we just need
- 8:31Speaker 1: hat a gun and it's loaded. I mean, the people
- 8:36Speaker 1: running DHS must be you know, fall left democrats, right,
- 8:40Speaker 1: who who think that anybody who has a loaded gun
- 8:43Speaker 1: is intending to kill a bunch of people. Oh no,
- 8:47Speaker 1: I guess they're not. They're actually they're actually supposedly Second
- 8:52Speaker 1: Amendment defenders who believe in gun rights and who are
- 8:56Speaker 1: on the right. What the hell? I mean, think about
- 9:07Speaker 1: some of what we saw during COVID. I remember in
- 9:12Speaker 1: the State House in Michigan, we saw protesters with AAR
- 9:20Speaker 1: fifteens walking around with the magazine inserted like a doesn't
- 9:31Speaker 1: of them walking on with A fifteens or with M
- 9:35Speaker 1: sixteen's and like like tough guys walking on with these
- 9:40Speaker 1: weapons and they're fully loaded with cattridges. I mean to me,
- 9:48Speaker 1: it looked like kind of a little insurrection there. But
- 9:54Speaker 1: you know, the right considers Kyle Rittenhouse a hero. He
- 9:57Speaker 1: was walking around with with a was an M sixteen
- 10:00Speaker 1: or a F fifteen during demonstrations to protect property supposedly,
- 10:07Speaker 1: I mean, and he was a hero and everybody loved
- 10:09Speaker 1: him and you know, Second Amendment and he was just
- 10:13Speaker 1: executing a Second Amendment rights kid with a semi automatic
- 10:18Speaker 1: weapon who's not really been trained. Yes, Carvid now has
- 10:23Speaker 1: actually fired the weapon, but ultimately it was viewed as
- 10:27Speaker 1: he fired in his self defense. So you got people
- 10:35Speaker 1: it was just this weekend actually photo of this this weekend.
- 10:40Speaker 1: Let's see if I can find the photo. Maybe not,
- 10:43Speaker 1: maybe I can't find it now I had this photo.
- 10:47Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there it is. So this weekend there was
- 10:50Speaker 1: there was a Second Amendment rally in Richmond, Virginia. Second
- 10:56Speaker 1: Amendment rally in Richmond, Virginia, and there were these whip men.
- 11:01Speaker 1: They're like, I don't know, maybe eight nine of them,
- 11:05Speaker 1: and they all look scary. They've got they've got their
- 11:08Speaker 1: faces covered, they're wearing hats or they've got big beards,
- 11:13Speaker 1: and they're all holding I mean at already. I mean
- 11:18Speaker 1: most of those look like him. Sixteen's AF fifteen. I
- 11:21Speaker 1: can see AAR fifteen one or two AAR fifteen's, I mean,
- 11:24Speaker 1: and all have a cup what do you call it?
- 11:28Speaker 1: The magazine instead of they could fire off. I don't
- 11:32Speaker 1: know how big the magazines are. I can't remember. For
- 11:34Speaker 1: military days. They could kill a bunch of people. This
- 11:40Speaker 1: guy had a hosted gun, concealed weapon. He had a
- 11:46Speaker 1: license to carry a concealed weapon. He wasn't dangling in
- 11:51Speaker 1: front of anybody, he wasn't threatening anybody, he wasn't implying
- 11:55Speaker 1: that he was a threat, and he never pulled it
- 11:58Speaker 1: in spite of being dragged to the ground, in spite
- 12:00Speaker 1: of being beaten, he didn't pull the gun. An agent
- 12:04Speaker 1: took it out of the host and moved it away.
- 12:08Speaker 1: Another agent just shot him, shot him dead. Now, you know,
- 12:15Speaker 1: I don't want to get into the technicality of Murdo
- 12:17Speaker 1: or not Muda, but this is this is just killing now.
- 12:26Speaker 1: You know. Who knows what exactly happened. It could be
- 12:29Speaker 1: that when the agent pulled the gun, he shot a
- 12:31Speaker 1: gun gun like he had a gun. He had the gun,
- 12:35Speaker 1: and the agent interpreted as he's got a gun, he's
- 12:38Speaker 1: he's gonna shoot somebody. I need to act quickly. These
- 12:42Speaker 1: people are un I mean, maybe they're trained, I don't know,
- 12:46Speaker 1: but they're not following particle, any protocol. Anybody professional who
- 12:51Speaker 1: looks at what happened there will tell you no protocol
- 12:55Speaker 1: was followed. These are um thugs who do not know
- 12:59Speaker 1: what they did. You're giving them powerful weapons, putting them
- 13:03Speaker 1: in high stress situations. These are not exactly the most rational, thoughtful,
- 13:09Speaker 1: cool headed people in the world. These are people who
- 13:16Speaker 1: signed up for ice for their adventure of it, and
- 13:21Speaker 1: then they panic. A car you know, is moving away
- 13:29Speaker 1: from the bad you know, it might hit him if
- 13:30Speaker 1: he doesn't move, so he shoots. I mean most people
- 13:35Speaker 1: just move out of the way, but he moves out
- 13:38Speaker 1: of the way and shoots. Here a guy's on the ground, helpless.
- 13:46Speaker 1: Kit is not a threat to anybody. Indeed, he's got
- 13:49Speaker 1: like five, six, seven of these ice agents all over him.
- 13:53Speaker 1: He can't move, he can't budget, can't go anywhere, he
- 13:56Speaker 1: can't move his arms. Shoot him in the back, right
- 14:00Speaker 1: in the back, execution style, and ten, you know, let's
- 14:05Speaker 1: just do one shot. Let's make sure he is good
- 14:09Speaker 1: and dead so there are no questions about it. So
- 14:12Speaker 1: let's shoot him ten times. I told you this would happen.
- 14:19Speaker 1: This is what happens when you put people out there
- 14:23Speaker 1: with no supervision, no objective law, no recourse with the bosses.
- 14:31Speaker 1: The bosses all telling them that absolute immunity. The Vice
- 14:36Speaker 1: President of the United States saying they have immunity. In otherwords,
- 14:40Speaker 1: they can shoot anybody anywhere, at any time and nothing
- 14:46Speaker 1: will happen. So and then when you kept training from
- 14:52Speaker 1: six months to forty seven days, and I don't know
- 14:56Speaker 1: how good the six month training is. I mean, soldiers
- 14:59Speaker 1: are trained for more more than six months on weapons
- 15:03Speaker 1: and Arguably, these people are placed in much higher stress
- 15:07Speaker 1: situations as soldiers are because they're facing civilians. They're facing
- 15:16Speaker 1: these civilians and they've not been trained in how to
- 15:20Speaker 1: deal with civilians. And they're not cops. They may ain't
- 15:22Speaker 1: trained in the law because they don't care. Why train
- 15:26Speaker 1: them in the law. They don't care. I mean no cop,
- 15:33Speaker 1: no cop, I mean maybe some, but most cops would
- 15:38Speaker 1: never do what these guys are doing. No cop would
- 15:41Speaker 1: shoot good, No cop would have shot pretty. It just
- 15:47Speaker 1: wouldn't have happened. Because the cops follow procedures, They follow
- 15:53Speaker 1: a certain guidelines. They're trained, they know how to use
- 15:57Speaker 1: their firearms. They know when to use it and when
- 15:59Speaker 1: not to use. Is that the presumption is you don't
- 16:02Speaker 1: shoot people. But these guys don't care. As I've told
- 16:05Speaker 1: you from the beginning, these are thugs. Otherwise they wouldn't
- 16:09Speaker 1: cover their face like cops actually deal with criminals every day,
- 16:15Speaker 1: all day, at criminals who might come after them. It's
- 16:22Speaker 1: part of the job. They don't cover their faces American policemen,
- 16:28Speaker 1: I mean I see policemen in other countries, even in
- 16:31Speaker 1: Europe and other countries, you know, cover their faces with masks.
- 16:35Speaker 1: I think it's horrible. It's horrific if nothing changes in
- 16:50Speaker 1: terms of the leadership of VICE and the leadership of
- 16:54Speaker 1: Homeland Security and the attitude, more people are gonna die.
- 16:59Speaker 1: I mean, that's not an outrageous prediction to make. It's
- 17:02Speaker 1: just a reality. And when you take one city like Minnesota,
- 17:06Speaker 1: by the way, relatively speaking, very very very few illegal immigrants,
- 17:12Speaker 1: and you load it up with three thousand agents who
- 17:15Speaker 1: are all trying to do something and show off, and
- 17:21Speaker 1: where they're no criminals, who are the criminals they're going
- 17:25Speaker 1: to get? The criminals are being handed over by Minnesota police.
- 17:36Speaker 1: There's actually not a single documented case of the Department
- 17:40Speaker 1: of Corrections of Minnesota releasing someone from state prison without
- 17:45Speaker 1: offering who's illegal, without offering a transfer custody into the
- 17:52Speaker 1: hands of federal agents. I mean, this whole escalation, the
- 18:02Speaker 1: three thousand ice have nothing to do with the legal
- 18:05Speaker 1: immigrants in Minnesota. They have nothing to do with crime
- 18:09Speaker 1: in Minneapolis. They have nothing to do other than with
- 18:12Speaker 1: the fact that this administration thought that going after Somalis
- 18:17Speaker 1: would be cool because many of them are being accused
- 18:22Speaker 1: of fraud and by the way, prosecuted and put in jail.
- 18:26Speaker 1: And all the stuff that we do in a land
- 18:28Speaker 1: of laws. And because the Somalis are black, it's you know,
- 18:33Speaker 1: you got double punch to it. And we can go
- 18:37Speaker 1: off to Somalis and we can get Somali's and we
- 18:40Speaker 1: can put them in jail and we can round them up.
- 18:47Speaker 1: Let's sen and you know Mago is all excited about
- 18:50Speaker 1: the Somali fraud and daycare centers and whatever. So let's
- 18:53Speaker 1: end three thousand agents to Minnesota, not to catch criminals,
- 18:59Speaker 1: just to round up whoever we could. I mean, it's
- 19:04Speaker 1: a bunch of amateurs. Secretary Gnome at the top of
- 19:10Speaker 1: the pyramid, an amateur and not very smart. I mean,
- 19:14Speaker 1: I had thought I had some respect for when she
- 19:17Speaker 1: was governor, but she has proven to be just really
- 19:22Speaker 1: dumb and one hundred partisan, not interested at all in
- 19:28Speaker 1: the truth, in reality, in facts, in actually getting criminals
- 19:34Speaker 1: off the road, off the streets. So yeah, I mean,
- 19:45Speaker 1: it's it's what happens. This agency should not exist. There
- 19:51Speaker 1: should be no ice. We'll talk about illegal immigration in
- 19:55Speaker 1: a minute, but can have border patrol on the border
- 19:59Speaker 1: prevent people from coming in illegally, fine, close the boarder,
- 20:03Speaker 1: build a stupid wall, whatever you want to do, all right,
- 20:07Speaker 1: But if they sneak in, that's local police's problem. It's
- 20:11Speaker 1: not the federal government's problem. Federal government should not have
- 20:18Speaker 1: the capacity to chase people down in where they live.
- 20:22Speaker 1: If they're criminals and they want to deport them, fine,
- 20:25Speaker 1: local police will catch them, hand them over to vot
- 20:28Speaker 1: A patrol. They'll be deported. Robin says, I'm not a
- 20:36Speaker 1: fan of the coal. There should be no ice, yes,
- 20:38Speaker 1: I mean ice generally they shouldn't be, but there shouldn't
- 20:40Speaker 1: be this ice in particular. All right. Newly, Dan, if
- 20:51Speaker 1: you want advice on how to get to porto ac,
- 20:53Speaker 1: you have to tell me where you're coming from. I
- 20:55Speaker 1: can't help you if you just that's too open ended question,
- 21:00Speaker 1: all right, So the horror of ice just continues. And
- 21:07Speaker 1: then what you get is, you know, the right is
- 21:13Speaker 1: so animated by hatred of immigrants, which is I think
- 21:17Speaker 1: the driving motivation of so many people in the right.
- 21:22Speaker 1: They're so animated by hatred of immigrants that they're willing
- 21:25Speaker 1: to drop the Second Amendment. They're willing to give up
- 21:28Speaker 1: on the right to be armed and and and and
- 21:32Speaker 1: take a take, you know, have a concealed weapon or
- 21:34Speaker 1: have a have a weapon at all if that means
- 21:37Speaker 1: they can get rid of immigrants. Immigrants goes first, get
- 21:40Speaker 1: rid of immigrants. I mean what you saw from right
- 21:45Speaker 1: wing you know, administration officials saying he shouldn't have been carrying,
- 21:50Speaker 1: he shouldn't have a gun. They also they're like leftist.
- 21:54Speaker 1: Now I have a I'm not a big supporter of
- 21:57Speaker 1: going to demonstrations with guns because of exactly the I
- 22:01Speaker 1: don't think you should. I when I see people, when
- 22:07Speaker 1: I saw the people in the in the in the
- 22:09Speaker 1: state House in Michigan with AR fifteen's, I'm like, no,
- 22:14Speaker 1: there's something very wrong with that. What is the point
- 22:19Speaker 1: of I mean, that's like an insurrection. How are the
- 22:22Speaker 1: police supposed to know if you're there peacefully or not?
- 22:25Speaker 1: They have to wait until you start shooting. So I'm
- 22:28Speaker 1: not a big you know, bring your big, your big
- 22:31Speaker 1: guns to demonstration. But I thought they were. I thought
- 22:38Speaker 1: they believed in a second their version of a second Amendment.
- 22:40Speaker 1: Well that went out the window, out the window, as
- 22:43Speaker 1: soon as it interfered with their ability to throw immigrants
- 22:47Speaker 1: out the door. So the one thing that animates the right,
- 22:58Speaker 1: the one thing that animates is hatred of immigrants. And
- 23:05Speaker 1: I got a lot of people telling me, oh, no, oh, no,
- 23:08Speaker 1: it's only illegal immigrants. But that's just on its face,
- 23:11Speaker 1: not true. The hatred expressed towards Indian Indian Americans, legal
- 23:20Speaker 1: immigrants from India who happened to make more money than
- 23:26Speaker 1: Americans do the Native Americans do on average. The hatred
- 23:31Speaker 1: expressed towards them cannot be because they're illegal, because they're not.
- 23:35Speaker 1: It cannot be because they sucking welfare because they're not.
- 23:39Speaker 1: They're paying more taxes than most Americans. So what is it?
- 23:43Speaker 1: What is it about Indians that they hate? What is it?
- 23:50Speaker 1: Different skin color, maybe different culture, at least when they
- 23:53Speaker 1: first come. Indians also assimilate very well into American society.
- 24:05Speaker 1: They like Europeans because they have the same color skin.
- 24:10Speaker 1: So much of what animates the right, and they won't
- 24:13Speaker 1: admit this, of course, because because they I don't think
- 24:16Speaker 1: they even will admit it to themselves. Much of what
- 24:19Speaker 1: animates the far right today is racism, is xenophobia, is
- 24:28Speaker 1: the hatred of the other, of the other, and this
- 24:31Speaker 1: is why, and this is the basis on which Trump
- 24:36Speaker 1: won the first time and one the second time. So
- 24:39Speaker 1: much of it is driven by hate. Hate is the
- 24:42Speaker 1: driving force of the of the far right. Now the
- 24:46Speaker 1: far left too right. It's fall left hates success, The
- 24:50Speaker 1: far right hates freedom, hates capitalism. Right, that's the fall left.
- 24:56Speaker 1: They want egalitarianism, equality of outcome, the all right once
- 25:01Speaker 1: higher key. They want to be on the top. They
- 25:03Speaker 1: want to make sure everybody on the top pass their
- 25:05Speaker 1: white skin color, and they want to see everybody not
- 25:09Speaker 1: look like them out of the country. They're animated by
- 25:13Speaker 1: hatred of the other. It's why they left tariffs because
- 25:17Speaker 1: the hatred of the other doesn't end at the border.
- 25:21Speaker 1: They want to see other countries humiliated. They want to
- 25:23Speaker 1: see other countries put down here. It even extends to Europe.
- 25:29Speaker 1: It's the other that they despise. I posted that yesterday.
- 25:36Speaker 1: I did this post about at what I think animates
- 25:40Speaker 1: the right. I didn't you know, the response on Twitter
- 25:46Speaker 1: wasn't positive. I am pretty shocking. I got a lot
- 25:50Speaker 1: of pushback, people unhappy, calling me names, and part of it,
- 25:56Speaker 1: you know, foaming my view. I mean, this is what
- 26:04Speaker 1: I wrote. The animating force behind the American right today
- 26:07Speaker 1: is hatred of immigrants, the other, and foreigners more generally.
- 26:12Speaker 1: In service of that hate, They're willing to have mass
- 26:14Speaker 1: armed thugs with federal badgers Roman American neighborhoods harassed, intimidated,
- 26:19Speaker 1: and sometimes kill Americans. They are eager to see hard
- 26:23Speaker 1: working immigrants hide away or leave the country, happy to
- 26:27Speaker 1: see brilliant scientists and engineers non white walk or fly away.
- 26:32Speaker 1: They're happy to pay higher taxes, tariffs on goods day
- 26:36Speaker 1: by of a joy to see the very idea of America. Individualism,
- 26:41Speaker 1: individual rights trampled under foot in the name of blood
- 26:45Speaker 1: and soil. Hate is a powerful emotion. When it becomes
- 26:50Speaker 1: the guide to action, freedom and liberty are easily sacrificed.
- 26:56Speaker 1: I stand by that pretty much if you would of that,
- 27:00Speaker 1: and people didn't like it. People on the right, I guess,
- 27:09Speaker 1: didn't like it anyway. Some of them called me a jew, yes,
- 27:13Speaker 1: some of them. Some of them called me a jew.
- 27:15Speaker 1: But I get called that now regularly. So that's a
- 27:17Speaker 1: regular comeback to anything I write that people don't like, Well,
- 27:21Speaker 1: who are you? You're just a jew? Or something like that?
- 27:24Speaker 1: Is uh is a is a regular comeback? A regular comeback? Yeah?
- 27:31Speaker 1: But but yes, all right, now, even some influences on
- 27:51Speaker 1: the right could not help. But see these videos for
- 27:56Speaker 1: what they were. Even Tim Paul, Tim Poole, you know,
- 28:01Speaker 1: thought that ICE was out of line, and so did
- 28:06Speaker 1: many others, and some even saw the hypocrisy regarding the
- 28:09Speaker 1: Second Amendment, and ICE was unbelievably unpopular before this happened.
- 28:17Speaker 1: I can't even imagine what the polls are right now
- 28:19Speaker 1: into the device. So Trump, of course, Trump, of course
- 28:22Speaker 1: has to backtrack. He has to find a way out,
- 28:26Speaker 1: and it seems like he's figured out a way to
- 28:29Speaker 1: do it. You know, public opinion is just going massively
- 28:33Speaker 1: against him. He just about what was it a couple
- 28:39Speaker 1: of hours ago, maybe more three hours ago, posted the
- 28:44Speaker 1: following says Governor Tim Walltz called me with a request
- 28:49Speaker 1: to work together with respect to Minnesota. It was a
- 28:53Speaker 1: very good call, and we actually seemed to be on
- 28:56Speaker 1: a similar wavelength. Can you believe this is that, Tim Wallas,
- 29:01Speaker 1: that this administration has ridiculed and made fun of and
- 29:05Speaker 1: and and attacked and ruthlessly and a lot of it
- 29:12Speaker 1: over immigration, and now they seem to be on a
- 29:14Speaker 1: similar wavelengths Suddenly revelation. I told Governor Walls that I
- 29:22Speaker 1: would have Tom Holman call him and that what we
- 29:26Speaker 1: are looking for are any and all criminals that they
- 29:32Speaker 1: have in their possession. The governor very respectfully, even even
- 29:37Speaker 1: Governor Wallis has figured out how to talk to Trump
- 29:40Speaker 1: very respectfully understood that and I will be speaking to
- 29:43Speaker 1: him in the near future. He was happy that Tom
- 29:46Speaker 1: Holman was going to Minnesota, and so am I. I
- 29:49Speaker 1: imagine this Tom Holman. Tom Homan is not exactly what
- 29:56Speaker 1: you would call a I don't know, a a one
- 30:03Speaker 1: of the good guys, at least in mind book. I mean,
- 30:05Speaker 1: he comes across as thuggish and aggressive and uninterested in
- 30:12Speaker 1: individual rights. Call it that. He's he's like really on
- 30:16Speaker 1: the on the on the extreme when it comes. But
- 30:19Speaker 1: now Homan, who supposedly has been sidelined by Gnome and Lewandowski,
- 30:24Speaker 1: who is a Republican operative who wooks for no, He's
- 30:29Speaker 1: been sidelined because he's the moderate. So Homan is the moderate,
- 30:35Speaker 1: and Trump, in order to calm things down, is sending
- 30:40Speaker 1: Homan to run operations in Minnesota. I mean, I can't
- 30:45Speaker 1: believe that Tom Homan is now the moderate. It's just
- 30:51Speaker 1: an alternative universe. So Homan, at least as a professional,
- 30:55Speaker 1: he's done this. He knows what's this about. He knows
- 30:58Speaker 1: the kind of training they need to get. He knows
- 31:00Speaker 1: what the procedures are, he knows appropriate actions. So in
- 31:04Speaker 1: that sense, he's a moderate, whereas Gnome and these other
- 31:08Speaker 1: people running operations there are complete goons, buffoons who have
- 31:13Speaker 1: no clue. Trump goes on, we have such a tremendous
- 31:19Speaker 1: success in Washington, DC, Memphis, Tennessee, and New Orleans, Louisiana
- 31:22Speaker 1: and Versity, every other place that we have touched, and
- 31:25Speaker 1: even in Minnesota, crime is way down except that committed
- 31:29Speaker 1: by ice. But both Governor Watts and I want to
- 31:32Speaker 1: make it better. So it turns out, you know, wonder
- 31:39Speaker 1: if this phone call could have been made weeks ago.
- 31:44Speaker 1: This is Goment Holmes. This is Governor Sawry Waltz's tweet
- 31:49Speaker 1: about a statement about exactly the same phone call. Or
- 31:53Speaker 1: this is from his office. Governor Watts had a productive
- 31:55Speaker 1: call with President Trump earlier today. The Governor made the
- 31:58Speaker 1: case that we need impartial investigations of the Minneapolis shootings
- 32:03Speaker 1: involving federal agents, and that we need to reduce the
- 32:06Speaker 1: number of federal agents in Minnesota. The President agreed that
- 32:10Speaker 1: he would talk to his Department of Homeland Security about
- 32:14Speaker 1: ensuring that the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is able
- 32:18Speaker 1: to conduct an independent investigation, as would ordinarily be the case.
- 32:23Speaker 1: The President also agreed to look into reducing the number
- 32:27Speaker 1: of federal agents in Minnesota and working with the state
- 32:30Speaker 1: in a more coordinated fashion on immigration enforcement regarding violent criminals.
- 32:37Speaker 1: The governor reminded President Trump that the Minnesota Department of
- 32:40Speaker 1: Corrections already honors federal detainees detainers by notifying Immigration Customs
- 32:48Speaker 1: Enforcement when a person committed to its custody isn't a
- 32:52Speaker 1: US citizen, and it hands them over when needed. So
- 32:58Speaker 1: it seems, and I've said this from the beginning, there's
- 33:01Speaker 1: no there's very little disagreement about criminals. Go get the criminals,
- 33:07Speaker 1: go foot and there local police is doing most of
- 33:10Speaker 1: the work. They're going to be the ones running up
- 33:12Speaker 1: the criminals and then handing them over to Ice. Or's
- 33:16Speaker 1: about a patrol to be deported. This isn't about criminals.
- 33:22Speaker 1: Isn't about criminals now. According to one source, a lot
- 33:27Speaker 1: of what is happening now is Chris Nomes marginalized Tom
- 33:31Speaker 1: Homan and the head of boat patrol because these two
- 33:35Speaker 1: prioritized deportations of criminals and gang members norm and Corey
- 33:40Speaker 1: Lewandowski wanted broad public roundups without prioritizing illegal aliens. They
- 33:47Speaker 1: are bypassed Homan and had a boat of patrol and
- 33:50Speaker 1: elevated Greg Bovino will get to Greg Bovino in a minute.
- 33:53Speaker 1: Because they want the public confrontations and displays. They want this,
- 33:57Speaker 1: they want this. It's we're going after the left, not
- 34:01Speaker 1: only after the legal immigrants. By the way, some of
- 34:04Speaker 1: the comments I got was, you know one list leftist
- 34:08Speaker 1: who cares, say killed the comedie? Who cares. That's the
- 34:13Speaker 1: level of discourse we got to in America. It's okay
- 34:16Speaker 1: to kill your ideological opponents. It's okay to shoot them.
- 34:22Speaker 1: And that's not the progressive that's not the progressive pressure
- 34:27Speaker 1: reporting this supposedly, that's the conservative Fox News, New York Post,
- 34:30Speaker 1: and Washington Examiner. It was pretty amazing this this weekend
- 34:35Speaker 1: that Fox News, New York Post, Washington Exama, Washington Post,
- 34:40Speaker 1: New York, New York Post, I said, New York Post already,
- 34:44Speaker 1: Washington Post, New York Times all basically all basically agreed
- 34:49Speaker 1: about what happened in Minneapolis around the shitty all basically
- 34:52Speaker 1: came out saying the same thing. Both the left and
- 34:55Speaker 1: the right, newspapers, everybody, everybody who's even posh saying has
- 35:01Speaker 1: had enough and realizes the unbelievable damage that Ice is
- 35:07Speaker 1: doing to the Republic. And even Trump now is backing off.
- 35:19Speaker 1: This is a you know, this is a policy choice
- 35:23Speaker 1: made by Christino to be confrontational, to create tension, and
- 35:30Speaker 1: to go after the left. This is why they went
- 35:31Speaker 1: to Minnesota. Minnesota is a blue city with a governor
- 35:35Speaker 1: that's you know, being made fun of, in a place
- 35:38Speaker 1: where Somali's have committed committed a fraud. It's perfect for
- 35:43Speaker 1: them to demonstrate how evil the left is and how
- 35:45Speaker 1: virtuous they are, and that's what drives them. A Republican
- 35:54Speaker 1: gubernatoria candidate in Minnesota has, uh, you know what draw
- 36:00Speaker 1: on from the race basically has left the Republican party,
- 36:06Speaker 1: you know, basically saying, you know, a Republican party that
- 36:12Speaker 1: rejects the the The investigator investigating these kind of shootings
- 36:19Speaker 1: is not a Republican party he wants to belong to.
- 36:22Speaker 1: By the way, these militiamen who who were in Richmond
- 36:26Speaker 1: for the Monday Yesterday's I guess today's Monday, but yesterday's
- 36:30Speaker 1: Second Amendment rally in Richmond. They all you know, came
- 36:35Speaker 1: out against ice this later shooting. This is one of them.
- 36:39Speaker 1: I've been open carrying at rally since twenty nineteen. There
- 36:42Speaker 1: is a different difference between this man carrying his fire
- 36:45Speaker 1: arm at a protest and me and my boys carrying
- 36:47Speaker 1: at a protest. The First and Second Amendment do not
- 36:50Speaker 1: stop where politics and opinions defer. These guys are smart.
- 36:56Speaker 1: A person on the left has just as much right
- 36:58Speaker 1: to carry and protest any conservative. These god given rights. Absolutely,
- 37:04Speaker 1: the killing of Alex Pretty was unjustified, as the video
- 37:08Speaker 1: clearly showed he was disarmed by the agent in the
- 37:10Speaker 1: gray jacket. For this administration to say that carrying it
- 37:13Speaker 1: a protest could justify murder is tyrannical. For them to
- 37:18Speaker 1: outright lie about events we have clear video evidence of
- 37:23Speaker 1: is shameful. It is my opinion that people who wish
- 37:26Speaker 1: to go to protest armed follow the pattern of how
- 37:29Speaker 1: we did it in twenty twenty. Stand from do not
- 37:33Speaker 1: be aggressive, but be a hard target. Lastly, I will
- 37:37Speaker 1: say this may differ politically, however it is crucial we
- 37:41Speaker 1: stand together here. Good for him. We are now facing
- 37:45Speaker 1: tyranny that will only worsen with time. We must be
- 37:50Speaker 1: willing to stand together rest in peace. Alex pretty so
- 37:55Speaker 1: the the right wing militiaman. I mean, I give him
- 37:59Speaker 1: credit for being objective about this, for being willing to
- 38:03Speaker 1: say what the administration is lying about, not just not
- 38:09Speaker 1: willing to say, but consciously explicitly lying about it. I mean,
- 38:13Speaker 1: I hope Trump fires Chrisino. I mean it's not what
- 38:17Speaker 1: he typically does, but I hope he fires Chrisino because
- 38:20Speaker 1: she's loyal and that's what matters to Trump. But she
- 38:23Speaker 1: needs to go. She is incompetent, She's worse than incompetent.
- 38:27Speaker 1: She's worse than incompetent. She's gotten people killed. And this
- 38:31Speaker 1: guy Bravino is a piece of wok. I mean, he
- 38:35Speaker 1: is the worst of all of them. I don't know
- 38:38Speaker 1: what his exact title is. You know, I should have
- 38:40Speaker 1: looked at her before before the show, but he is dumb.
- 38:51Speaker 1: Let me just see. I mean, he is the worst.
- 38:59Speaker 1: He is the guy they put out there. He is
- 39:00Speaker 1: the Bota patrol chief, but he's not. He's not the
- 39:04Speaker 1: head of the boat patrol because that's a different guy
- 39:05Speaker 1: who they've sidelined. Anyways, the voter patrol chief Buttatrol Commander
- 39:09Speaker 1: at large, whatever the hell that means he is. It's
- 39:14Speaker 1: just horrible, he said. In the best comments, he says
- 39:16Speaker 1: he's not going to reveal the identity of the shooter
- 39:19Speaker 1: because that would be docsing And these people put their
- 39:22Speaker 1: lives on the line. You think these are Special Forces people,
- 39:26Speaker 1: You think this is a Team Seal Team six even
- 39:33Speaker 1: they don't keep the identity this secret. Trump has got
- 39:44Speaker 1: to get rid of these nuts. Is incompetent incompetent nuts.
- 39:51Speaker 1: It sounds like Tom Homan is a is a moderate,
- 39:56Speaker 1: I mean, which is bizarre because I don't consider him
- 39:58Speaker 1: a moderate at all. But yes, I really worry about
- 40:06Speaker 1: the lives of these ICE agents. They are Really that's
- 40:09Speaker 1: the problem in our world is the ICE agents, the
- 40:14Speaker 1: thugs who are beating people up. Who are you know,
- 40:18Speaker 1: intimidating American citizens and then shooting some of them. We
- 40:22Speaker 1: need to be worried about their lives. God, how about
- 40:27Speaker 1: the rule of law, How about investigating shootings? Now? Their
- 40:36Speaker 1: identities do not need to be disclosed, not at all.
- 40:40Speaker 1: They are above the law, above the law because they are
- 40:43Speaker 1: agents of the government. This is the kind of tyranny
- 40:46Speaker 1: our funding fathers werebelled against. And by the way, you know,
- 40:52Speaker 1: at the bottom of humans services, the number of actual
- 40:57Speaker 1: criminals is minimal, minuscule. The worst of the worst, like
- 41:06Speaker 1: rapists and murderers that they've arrested three point five percent,
- 41:13Speaker 1: three point five percent of total apprehensions of illegal immigrants,
- 41:17Speaker 1: the worst of the worst three point five percent. And
- 41:19Speaker 1: yet they justify everything in terms of that most of the
- 41:28Speaker 1: people that they're taking taking have no criminal records and
- 41:32Speaker 1: the ones that do not violence. Others might be vice
- 41:37Speaker 1: or immigration or traffic. So what the hell this is?
- 41:55Speaker 1: This is who you guys want to defend. This is
- 41:58Speaker 1: who any American want to defend. This is not America anymore.
- 42:03Speaker 1: If this is the thugs you defend, not America. In America,
- 42:10Speaker 1: we don't let mass thugs roam the streets harassing people,
- 42:14Speaker 1: even if they're nominally you know, trying to trying to
- 42:21Speaker 1: apprehend people who broke the law. It's not even a
- 42:24Speaker 1: criminal offense they're going after. I mean, we use this
- 42:28Speaker 1: example before, but imagine dirs breaking down your door to
- 42:31Speaker 1: get every single one of your records and receipts. They
- 42:35Speaker 1: want it in your home, they want to see what
- 42:37Speaker 1: you buy. They want to see how much cash you
- 42:39Speaker 1: have stuffed away in your safe or under you know,
- 42:42Speaker 1: under your I don't know in your attic. I don't
- 42:45Speaker 1: know wherever you hide the cash. I don't know where
- 42:47Speaker 1: you guys hide cash. Where do you hide cash? It's
- 42:51Speaker 1: an American It's what they do in a police state.
- 42:54Speaker 1: We don't live in a police state. We don't go
- 42:59Speaker 1: after at all costs every criminal. I mean, they don't
- 43:03Speaker 1: do that. You know, you still leave a warrant even
- 43:07Speaker 1: if you're going after murderer. But now, I mean they
- 43:12Speaker 1: go into people's property. People tell them, you get off,
- 43:15Speaker 1: it's my property. They ignore them completely. Property rights. Yeah,
- 43:27Speaker 1: I mean we are all China now. I said this
- 43:28Speaker 1: during pandemic that every country in the world now wants
- 43:31Speaker 1: to be China. We want an authoritarian thug. We'll talk
- 43:34Speaker 1: about China in a minute. Running things. We want to
- 43:37Speaker 1: have social scores. Leftists get very local scores, rights get
- 43:41Speaker 1: very high social scores. When the right is in the administration.
- 43:46Speaker 1: We want to have government ownership of the means of production,
- 43:49Speaker 1: government stake in private enterprise. We want to say to
- 43:51Speaker 1: you are planning, we want to be China. At the
- 43:54Speaker 1: left and the right completely agree. Everybody wants to be China.
- 43:57Speaker 1: They all envy She, They want to be like she.
- 44:02Speaker 1: Here's a news story. Now, granted, I'm coveating this by
- 44:06Speaker 1: the fact that I don't know if this is true.
- 44:09Speaker 1: I'm saying I'm gonna read it, not because I know
- 44:13Speaker 1: it's true, because I'm reading because it's so evil and
- 44:16Speaker 1: bad that even if just an element of this is true,
- 44:21Speaker 1: We're in deep, deep Doudah and me in particular. All Right,
- 44:27Speaker 1: this is this is what it says is supposedly it
- 44:32Speaker 1: was Trump's FBI is currently compiling a list of American extremists.
- 44:36Speaker 1: Elite memo obtained by independent investigative journalists A clip and stain,
- 44:41Speaker 1: I don't know who this is reveals that Attorney General
- 44:44Speaker 1: Pambondi is ordering the FBI to compile a list of
- 44:47Speaker 1: groups of entities engaging in acts that can be can
- 44:50Speaker 1: that maybe constitute domestic terrorism. Remember that Good was defined
- 44:56Speaker 1: as a domestic terrorist by Christino. According to the memo,
- 45:00Speaker 1: the target is those expressing not this opposition to law
- 45:04Speaker 1: and immigration enforcement, extreme views in favor of mass migration
- 45:10Speaker 1: and open borders, adherents to racial gender ideology, well at
- 45:17Speaker 1: least that's not me as well as anti americanism, anti capitalism,
- 45:22Speaker 1: as if they could tell what an anti capitalist is,
- 45:25Speaker 1: I mean, they'd have to arrest Trump, anti Americanism, of
- 45:29Speaker 1: anti capitalism, the whole cabinet would have to be arrested.
- 45:33Speaker 1: Every single damn last one of the people working for
- 45:35Speaker 1: this administration would have to be on the list of
- 45:38Speaker 1: extremists if they went after anti Americanism and anti capitalism
- 45:43Speaker 1: and anti Christianity. And this is echoing the language from
- 45:52Speaker 1: an executive order that Trump signed nsp M seven directive.
- 45:57Speaker 1: So this is not arbitrary. So the NSA, which I
- 46:07Speaker 1: always suspected, is listening in on my phone. Actually there's
- 46:12Speaker 1: nothing to listen in to. Who the hell makes phone
- 46:14Speaker 1: calls anymore? Listening into my zoom, reading my texts and emails.
- 46:20Speaker 1: I've told you the story. I spent the day at
- 46:22Speaker 1: the NSA once, But anyway, so you know they know
- 46:27Speaker 1: me now I'm probably on some list of extremists. I
- 46:33Speaker 1: kind of be insulted, I guess if I wasn't. No, No,
- 46:42Speaker 1: all right, all right, let me say a few things
- 46:48Speaker 1: about illegal immigration, illegal immigration and open voters and all
- 46:55Speaker 1: of that stuff. I have absolutely zero against illegal immigrants.
- 47:06Speaker 1: I respect, an admire the desire to come and live
- 47:09Speaker 1: in the United States. Very few of them or any
- 47:13Speaker 1: of them in America. This is different in Europe, but
- 47:17Speaker 1: very few of them come here to benefit from warfare.
- 47:23Speaker 1: Very few of them are here, you know, to suck
- 47:25Speaker 1: at the tits of the state. Kendo, you're an idiot.
- 47:35Speaker 1: So here's the number one comment that idiots make when
- 47:39Speaker 1: talking about immigration. But what about Israel? Is all surrounded
- 47:44Speaker 1: by enemies? The United States is not? Is all surrounded
- 47:48Speaker 1: by people who want to slaughter it you, So, exactly
- 47:50Speaker 1: what would happen to Israeli borders on October seventh? But no, no,
- 47:55Speaker 1: we're going to ignore that. That's exactly like immigrants from
- 47:57Speaker 1: Olsalvado coming to America. Exactly. There's no difference, idiot, I mean,
- 48:06Speaker 1: it's it's not just idiocy, because these people are not
- 48:09Speaker 1: just stupid, they dishonest. There's a deep, deep grain of dishonesty,
- 48:14Speaker 1: as if they can't tell the difference between the situation
- 48:17Speaker 1: Israel's and the situation America is in and beyond that,
- 48:22Speaker 1: beyond that, I've already stated that Europe is even different. Indeed,
- 48:29Speaker 1: every country is different. You are pass an Islamism problem
- 48:33Speaker 1: in the United States doesn't See you can pretend that, oh,
- 48:40Speaker 1: what about Israel, But it's just an evasion. It's a
- 48:44Speaker 1: way to pretend that you're being sophisticated and consistent in Hey,
- 48:50Speaker 1: Yuan's not principled because he has this principle that every
- 48:53Speaker 1: country in the world should have open immigration. And who
- 48:55Speaker 1: cares about context? But context is everything if you know
- 48:59Speaker 1: anything about the theory of knowledge, context is everything. America
- 49:13Speaker 1: is not surrounded by enemies. People coming to America are
- 49:15Speaker 1: not trying to come here in order to rape and
- 49:18Speaker 1: slaughter Americans. Nine immigrants come here in order to work,
- 49:26Speaker 1: in order to better their own lives, in order to
- 49:28Speaker 1: improve their lives. They come here at the risk. You know,
- 49:32Speaker 1: they walk through deserts, They they come here enormous risks
- 49:36Speaker 1: to themselves and a huge expense, huge expense. Why to
- 49:50Speaker 1: rape and torture and slaughter. They come in order to
- 49:56Speaker 1: make a living. I mean, my immigration solution has been simple.
- 50:00Speaker 1: I've stated it over and over and over again. Anybody
- 50:03Speaker 1: who can find a job in the US should be
- 50:05Speaker 1: work up. Anybody could get a job in the US
- 50:08Speaker 1: should be work up. We can easily we could easily.
- 50:16Speaker 1: You want to ban welfare, ban them from welfare for
- 50:19Speaker 1: ten twenty one hundred years. I don't care. Should ban
- 50:21Speaker 1: Americans from warfare too, This American American disgraced Americans who've
- 50:27Speaker 1: grown up in the world's freest in the world's country
- 50:31Speaker 1: with more opportunities than anybody else. I'm tired of this
- 50:42Speaker 1: guy born in a country with more opportunities than anyplace
- 50:48Speaker 1: else in the world, and they rely on welfare. I
- 50:52Speaker 1: you know they are. They are even worse, all right. So, yeah,
- 51:21Speaker 1: illegally immigrants are here to work. You catch them at
- 51:24Speaker 1: the border, send them back, fine, But they're not hurting
- 51:28Speaker 1: anybody again of them. Those are criminals. Yeah, throw their
- 51:34Speaker 1: book at them, lock them up and throw away the keys.
- 51:45Speaker 1: But those are here working. And I know, I know.
- 51:49Speaker 1: Americans feel like they have a right to a job,
- 51:53Speaker 1: a right to the job that they have and God
- 51:55Speaker 1: forbid somebody comes and competes for that job. Oh no, no, no, no, no,
- 52:00Speaker 1: God given right. It's in the constitution. I have a
- 52:02Speaker 1: right to a job. I have a right to have
- 52:04Speaker 1: a job without any competition from other people. I demanded.
- 52:11Speaker 1: That's why they're against trade as well, because trade they're
- 52:13Speaker 1: competing against foreigners. They can't compete against foreigners, not overseas,
- 52:16Speaker 1: they are not here. And you know, studies are pretty clear,
- 52:29Speaker 1: did immigrants who come into the community and work raise
- 52:33Speaker 1: average wages in that community. They're not a problem unless
- 52:42Speaker 1: you're xenophobic, unless you don't like competition, unless you're an American.
- 52:50Speaker 1: The solution to illegal immigrants is to legalize them. Now
- 52:54Speaker 1: you want to put them at the at the end
- 52:56Speaker 1: of the line, fine, put them at the end of
- 52:58Speaker 1: the line. I don't care. Give them some work permits,
- 53:02Speaker 1: give them some ability to make a living, and tell
- 53:04Speaker 1: them they'll never be citizens, never in their whole life.
- 53:08Speaker 1: Will never make you citizens. You'll never be able to vote,
- 53:11Speaker 1: you'll never get citizenship. But you're here already. Here's a
- 53:14Speaker 1: permit to work. How is that a bad thing? Doesn't
- 53:18Speaker 1: affect electoral politics, what's the problem. And in terms of
- 53:32Speaker 1: the border, again, if you've got a job, if somebody's
- 53:36Speaker 1: offering you a job, welcome to America. And again, ban
- 53:44Speaker 1: all immigrants from welfare for twenty years, well, ban all
- 53:49Speaker 1: immigrants if you make welfare so only available for citizens,
- 53:57Speaker 1: citizens who are moochers, not immigrants who are mooches. We're
- 54:02Speaker 1: okay with citizen muchas not immigrant mooches. And you solved
- 54:08Speaker 1: the entire immigration problem. Now, not for the people who
- 54:12Speaker 1: believe they have a right to a job, not for
- 54:14Speaker 1: the people they have a right to think they have
- 54:16Speaker 1: a right not to be competed with, Not for the
- 54:19Speaker 1: people who don't like people from other with other skin
- 54:21Speaker 1: color or speak a different language, who come from a
- 54:24Speaker 1: different culture. You can't solve those problems. But it's simple.
- 54:29Speaker 1: You don't have to even abolish you all fare, that's radical.
- 54:33Speaker 1: Just make it unavailable to immigrants. You can't actually feed
- 54:38Speaker 1: yourself on a plane. Off you go, We'll buy you
- 54:40Speaker 1: a ticket. I don't think it violates the fourteenth Amendment
- 54:51Speaker 1: in a sense that I don't think today we discriminate
- 54:55Speaker 1: in terms of immigrants and not immigrants on a lot
- 54:58Speaker 1: of different things. So we could just limit welfare to citizens.
- 55:02Speaker 1: Limit you know, we limit voting to citizens. So no,
- 55:09Speaker 1: I you know, I know it. People are really upset
- 55:14Speaker 1: by this, but people who cross the border to come
- 55:17Speaker 1: here heroic. They're braving the elements to bring to create
- 55:24Speaker 1: a better life for themselves and for their children. There's
- 55:27Speaker 1: no difference between them and the people who cross the
- 55:30Speaker 1: ocean in the nineteenth century to come here, just then
- 55:33Speaker 1: the state recognize them as legal. And now it's even
- 55:37Speaker 1: harder because the government won't recognize them as legal. So
- 55:40Speaker 1: it's going to be a much high, much more difficult
- 55:42Speaker 1: uphill climb. If you legalize the drugs, then you know,
- 55:50Speaker 1: drugs are not a problem either drug dealers. You know,
- 55:55Speaker 1: we're for freedom and liberty, now for zenophobiaan hunkering down.
- 56:04Speaker 1: And yeah, the United States could limit. The one class
- 56:07Speaker 1: of immigrants that can't come in is if you're an
- 56:09Speaker 1: a Slamist, just like Europe, just in case, you know,
- 56:12Speaker 1: because we are at war with him still like you're
- 56:16Speaker 1: in a Islamist you have no place in the US,
- 56:19Speaker 1: just like you have no place in Europe. Fine, and
- 56:31Speaker 1: if people commit fraught and I've told you this fought
- 56:36Speaker 1: in every single state when it comes to welfare, every
- 56:39Speaker 1: single state. It's not about immigrants. It's about the fact
- 56:44Speaker 1: that the way welfare, particularly after COVID, particularly during COVID
- 56:49Speaker 1: and after COVID, the way it's administrator's administrated opens it
- 56:54Speaker 1: up to massive opportunities for fraught. But you never hear
- 56:58Speaker 1: about the stories the fault is being committed by good
- 57:01Speaker 1: old redneck Americans. You only hear it when the fraud
- 57:06Speaker 1: is committed by immigrants. But the reality is that across
- 57:11Speaker 1: this country there is massive quantities of welfare fraud. There
- 57:16Speaker 1: always has been since the beginning of the welfare state,
- 57:19Speaker 1: and they always will be as long as there is
- 57:21Speaker 1: a welfare state. Now that doesn't excuse it. We should
- 57:24Speaker 1: go after it, prosecute the people, put them in jail,
- 57:28Speaker 1: use the federal government to do that. Absolutely farest fraud.
- 57:33Speaker 1: Nobody debates that. Nobody says, oh, no, no, fraud, you
- 57:36Speaker 1: shouldn't go after And if they're politicians who are fraudulent,
- 57:42Speaker 1: I don't know, like the current President of the United
- 57:44Speaker 1: States who is basically constantly taking bribes, they should go
- 57:51Speaker 1: to jail. So if you can find the Tim Waltz
- 57:55Speaker 1: was in on the Somali fraud, send him to jail.
- 58:01Speaker 1: This isn't hard. None of this is hard. This is
- 58:03Speaker 1: all easy. Fought is a serious crime in the United States.
- 58:07Speaker 1: Find the fosterest fraughtstus. But you should us to think
- 58:10Speaker 1: about why there's so much thought when it comes to
- 58:12Speaker 1: welfare and why in particularly after COVID, Well because after COVID.
- 58:16Speaker 1: The government was throwing money at us, throwing money at us,
- 58:19Speaker 1: please take our money, and people said, people made up stuff,
- 58:28Speaker 1: you know, to take the money. And nobody paid attention,
- 58:31Speaker 1: and there was no supervision and there were no guidelines.
- 58:36Speaker 1: And yes, some communities, like the Somalis, who come from
- 58:39Speaker 1: a country where corruption is inherent in the system, they're like, yeah,
- 58:45Speaker 1: there's free money being handed out. If I don't if
- 58:48Speaker 1: I don't take some, I'm not living up to you
- 58:52Speaker 1: know who I am. Yeah, it's more prevalent in some communities.
- 58:58Speaker 1: That's why you should be particularly tough on I'm fine
- 59:00Speaker 1: with that. Immigrants should be held to the highest standards.
- 59:10Speaker 1: So you don't have a right to a job. For
- 59:17Speaker 1: that matter, you don't have a right to culture. There
- 59:20Speaker 1: is no basis on the principle of individual rights for
- 59:25Speaker 1: excluding people from this country. And if you don't like
- 59:29Speaker 1: them taking welfare, let's fight together to ban them from
- 59:32Speaker 1: receiving welfare. If there's a national security issue about Islamists
- 59:38Speaker 1: coming in, let's talk about banning Islamists and how we
- 59:41Speaker 1: define that and how we're going to put that into place. Okay,
- 59:44Speaker 1: I have no problem with that. National security is important
- 59:51Speaker 1: but none of that is being done. The hostility is
- 59:53Speaker 1: not towards the Islamists, or the violence, or the or
- 59:57Speaker 1: the rapists or the murderers. The hostility is towards immigrants, immigrants.
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: If we are the land of the free, if we
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: are the land of liberty, if we are the land
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: of individual rights, then we need a resurrect that spirit.
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: It's a spirit that animated the country for the first
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty years. And during that period our
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: borders were basically open. You arrived in Ellis Island when
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: you were screened for infectious diseases and you were basically
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: invited in. Same as true in the southern border. I mean.
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: The only exception of that is Post eighteen ninety four
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: ninety six were Chinese. They were excluded for racist reasons.
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: Why because they competed for jobs, and the Irish immigrants
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: and other immigrants didn't want to have to compete against
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: the Chinese, them against because Chinese imm against work tader
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: and we're willing to work for lower rages. Europeans had
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: them banned purely race racist reasons. You don't have a
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: right to the status quo, You don't have a right
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: to stagnate. You don't have a right for everything to
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: be like they always was. We're a land of liberty
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: and freedom of competition. But corporation. I mean, most immigrants
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: come into cooperate, But what does it mean to take
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: a job. It's a corporation. They're coming to offer services,
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: They're coming to offer their skills, their talent. I mean,
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: if this country was free, and if we continue to try,
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: the most talented at whatever level they are, the most
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: talented at whatever socio economic stratum they are. I mean,
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: just imagine the wealth, Just imagine the prosperity. Just imagine
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: the culture that we would have in this country. Immigrants
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: create jobs, and immigrants who respect the culture assimilate into it,
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: and almost all of them do within a couple of generations.
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: Immigrants assimilate in the culture, benefit that culture, make the
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: culture better over time. I mean, how many of them,
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: how many of them are going to trek across the desert,
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: struggle and pay a lot of money to be smuggled
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: into the country in order for the rest of their
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: lives to do nothing or to do the lowest skill
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: possible and not have any ambition. I mean, people don't
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: do that, so illegal immigrants are your construction workers. They
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: build your homes, they build the factories. It's going to
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: be tough to build data centers without them. They're agricultural workers.
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: Now you can poo poo that work. You can say
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: it's low skill than it doesn't matter. But workers work
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: and they do a damn good job at it. They'll
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: pick strawberries when nobody else will. And they want the
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: kids to go to school, and they want the kids
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: to go to college, and they want the kids to
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: become doctors and lawyers. But they will do the kind
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: of work necessary in order to make it possible for
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: the kids to have a future, which they wouldn't have
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: had if they'd stayed in Hondua, or or Salvador, or Columbia,
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: wherever it is they're coming from, just like every other
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: immigrant group. You think the Jews and the Irish and
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: the Italians who came here in the late nineteenth century
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: early twenties century had skills. I'll tell you my so
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: called people, the Jews not a no skills. I mean
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: you think Jews immigrated Einstein. Almost all the Jews who
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: came in the late nineteen senty early twenties century came
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: from little villages in Eastern Europe and Russia. They had
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: no skills, but they wanted the kids to have skills,
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: say wood damn hard in low skilled labor, hustling, just
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: like the Mexicans, just like Hispanic immigrants, just like Chinese immigrants,
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: just like Asian immigrants. They hustled and they saved, and
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: they said the kids to school, and within a couple
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: of generations the kids were completely assimilated Americans and did very,
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: very well. But the idea that immigrants need to be skilled.
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: Europe is full of moochers because Europe offers them welfare.
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: It dangles welfare in front of them. Here, come get
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: your three thousand and you a check. So yes, you've
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: given centers for people to come to get freebies. That'll
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: come to get freebies. Don't give them freebies. It's very easy.
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: In America. It's much harder for them to get welfare.
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: It's much more difficult to get the freebies. They don't
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: come for the freebies, they come to work. And in
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: Europe most of those people they're as moochers. If he
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: took away their welfare checks, if he took away their
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: free apartments, they would go to work. They're not afraid
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: of work. They come from countries and places where they've
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: been working since there were little kids. It's you Europeans
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: who corrupt them by telling them they don't have to work.
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: Knowing Europe, you don't have to work. Here's you know,
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: a paid rest of your life, never mind vacation. So yeah,
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: there are lots of moochers, but most of the moochers
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: in America, Americans are born here. Europe has more moochers
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: per capita because Europe has encouraged them to come for
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: the welfare check. For the welfare check, and of course
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: Europe doesn't emphasize work. It doesn't some really it's just
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: that interested in work and it's harder to get jobs
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: in Europe. But again, if you didn't give them welfare,
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: they wouldn't come because if they couldn't find jobs, they
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: would starve, So they don't They wouldn't come. They come
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: because they know either they'll find a job, or they'll
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: get a welfare or they'll sake fake you know, handbags
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: on the street, which is what they do all over Europe. Right,
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: But I at least suspect them. They're trying to make
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: a living and then the police keep, you know, harassing them.
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: Who is America? America's an has enough of them? Who
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: is America? How do we know they've had enough of them?
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: What counts is enough? By what standard is enough? I
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: mean this country could easily absorb another couple hundred million
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: people if it. You know, there's plenty of space, there's
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: no problem. And who speaks for America is that the majority?
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: The majority's probably had enough of me that they get
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: to silence me and kick me out. So it's easy.
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: If you can find a job in America, you're in.
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: If you can't, you're not in. No, and that means
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: supplying demand work. That means the market will dictate how
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: many immigrants come in every year. That means nobody will
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: come in who doesn't have a job, who can take
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: care of themselves? Easy? Easy? I want more immigrants, not less.
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: So I haven't had enough of them. So are you
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: going to impose your values on me because you happen
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: to be in the majority? Is that what America is about?
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: I thought we were a constitutional republic. I thought we
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: had rights. I didn't know we had a democracy. Are
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: we democracy? Now? Oh? Wait? I have a hot stop
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: at four o'clock. So next topic. The next still going
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: to be quick, So let's just quickly talk about China.
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: Something big is happening in China. I talked a little
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: bit about this on Friday, I think, but something big
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: is happening in China. Basically the entire military leadership of
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: China has been arrested. Zhang Yukshia Yukshia something like that,
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: who is was the number one, the most senior person
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: in the Chinese military and indeed in the higher key
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: of the entire Chinese Communist Party, probably the second most
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: powerful person after Kxhi, is basically being arrested, as have
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: the entire senior leadership of the military. Now this is huge.
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: It appears that there were a number of possibilities going
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: into the wall seat journal a Jiang as being accused
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: of leaking sensitive military informations to Americans. I find that
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: very hard to believe. I mean, Xiang is pretty solidly
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: a Chinese patriot. How to believe that he would be
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: that he would be leaking information. There's also rumors that
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: maybe they're in a power struggle and Xang was gonna
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: was going to commit a coup and overfoke she maybe,
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: but again very little evidence about that. There's rumors about
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: a firefight where they were shooting at one another, where
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: she's people and young people who were shooting at one another.
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: It's clearly a power struggle. It's click she getting rid
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: of a competitor. I don't think, you know, there is
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: real angst within the Chinese Communist Party. She The economy
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: is not doing well, the real, real, real deep problems.
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: It's questionable whether the military is doing well. I mean,
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: one thing that this does, I think is it reduces
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: the probability of an attack on Taiwan. Basically, the entire
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: military leadership is gone, the military leadership that I assume
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: has been planning all this. My guess is the Chinese
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: military is a lot more incompetent, a lot more incompetent
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: then people give it credit for. I mean, the entire
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: military is now being hollowed out. The entire military leadership
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: is gone. According to some, this is the most stunning
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: development in Chinese politics since she came to power, what
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: twelve thirteen years ago. So things are not all well
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: in China. It's not only in America that were struggling.
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: It's still saying China, something's going on. I think whatever
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: it is is probably good news for the Taiwanese. I'm
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: sure they're watching this very very very carefully because it
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: has implications for them, significant implications for them. But yeah, right,
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: somebody says, have the Somalis improved Minnesota? What does that
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: even mean? How do you improve Minnesota? How do you
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: make Minnesota better? I mean many of the Somalis who
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: are in Minnesota are hard working. They're you know, creating jobs,
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: they are producing, they are making stuff, they're building businesses.
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: So yeah, in that sense, they've improved Minnesota. In Wilma
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: there what seven you know, maybe the ten percent of
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: the population, they're they're doing jobs, they're providing services, they're
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: mowing people's lawns. I don't know what they do, whatever
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: it is they do. Yeah, that's improving somebody, Right, what
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: does it mean to improve Minnesota? It means to improve
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: the lives of individuals in Minnesota. All the individuals who
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: trade with the Somalis, their lives are better. Now. Are
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: they criminals, Yeah, put them in jail. Are they fraudsters, Yeah,
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: put them in jail. Fraudsters and criminals within every ethnic
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: group out there. And by the way, the Somalis didn't
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: come to Minnesota because they had they got work. They
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: came to Minnesota as as some kind of refuge deal.
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: And I'm not I'm against refugees. Don't bring refugees. I'm fat.
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: If you find work, you can come. Otherwise, No, that's it.
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: And if you find work, it doesn't mean you're not
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: going to be a criminal. But at least there's a basis.
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: So I mean so much, let me just make this
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: point before we go to the next point. So much
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: of the way we talk about almost everything, of every
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: issue of the day is from a collectivistic perspective. Somalis.
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: With Somalis, I mean Elia Omar, she obviously has done
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: only harm to Minnesota's other Somali's probably done good. Other
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: Somali's probably committed fraud. Some Somalis are probably criminals. All
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: kinds of Somalis have done good to Minnesota. Who is Minnesota, Joe, Rachel, Mike,
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: which one the I mean, we a whole mindset of
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: even us, even people listening to your one book show.
- 1:14:35Speaker 1: But suddenly of everybody in the culture is collectivistic. It's
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: not an American perspective. An American perspective is individualistic. Has
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: this Somali done any good? He is a good person.
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: Bad person? Is that American? Any good? Is that Greek person?
- 1:14:59Speaker 1: Any good? It's about a particular individual in a particular context,
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: in a particular place, not about groups, not about collectives.
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: We're not you know, as long as we're not out
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: of war, and we're out of war with most of
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: the people coming to the United States. All right, final topic,
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: before I go to your questions, I want to show
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: you this graph. You've probably seen it before. This is
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: the famous graph of price changes from January two thousand
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: to December twenty twenty five. And this relates us to
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: the price of gold and everything like that. So this
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: is the change in prices, right, And what this graph
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: illustrates is you've got overall inflation here. Inflation's price inflation CPI.
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: Consumer price inflation over that twenty five years has gone
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: up in ninety two point six percent. Healthcare hospital services
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: have gone up to un eighty one percent, so significantly
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: more than inflation. College situation has gone up one hundred
- 1:16:08Speaker 1: and ninety six percent, significantly more than average price inflation. Right, college, textbooks, childcare.
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: You can see all the stuff in red up here
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: at the top of the chart. Those are things that
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: have gone up more than inflation. Notice housing, Housing has
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: gone up about one hundred and ten percent, one hundred
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: and ten percent, a little bit more than inflation, not
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: that much more. Wages, by the way, average hourly wages
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: have gone up one hundred and thirty one percent, So
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: average hourly wages have gone up more than housing. Now
- 1:16:42Speaker 1: housing where this is a national average, which doesn't represent
- 1:16:46Speaker 1: California or New York or any particular place. But this
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: is just an average. Now, look at what's gone down
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: in price. TVs have gone down ninety eight point one percent,
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: computer software seventy two percent, toys seventy four percent. Clothing
- 1:17:06Speaker 1: have increased in price by one point five percent. But
- 1:17:10Speaker 1: in an environment where CPI inflation has gone up ninety
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: two percent and wayss have gone up one hundred and
- 1:17:16Speaker 1: thirty one percent. So everywhere where the government touches, prices
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: have gone up a lot. Everywhere where the market dominates,
- 1:17:26Speaker 1: prices are basically either stayed pretty stable or gone way down,
- 1:17:34Speaker 1: way down. All right, So notice the most the thing
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: that's gone up the highest from two thousand. This isn't
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: in absolute dollars, it's not a real dollars. This is
- 1:17:45Speaker 1: just the cost, you know it, the cost of hospital services,
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: same exact service in two thousand today costs basically three
- 1:17:55Speaker 1: times more but sorry times right, three hundred percent more.
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: So the the you're purchasing power of the dollar when
- 1:18:11Speaker 1: it comes to hospital services has declined by three hundred percent.
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: That is horrific. So no again, I mean, the point
- 1:18:24Speaker 1: of this graph is where the market dominates, prices come down.
- 1:18:27Speaker 1: Where the market dominates, prices go up. But what's interesting
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: is this, in the context of the discussion we had
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: on gold, how much has gold gone up during that
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: period between two thousand and today because hospital service has
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: gone up three hundred percent. Let's say so if gold
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: was a reflection inflation, at least manifesting the purchasing power
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: of the dollar, which is what's important, the ability to
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: buy stuff with your dollar, then gold should be up,
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: let's say, at most three hundred percent. But what's gold
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: up from two thousand to today? Actually, haven't a calculator earlier,
- 1:19:15Speaker 1: but whoops, my calculation is gone. Well, you guys can
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: do the math it. In December two thousand, gold was
- 1:19:25Speaker 1: a two hundred and seventy two dollars and today's five thousand,
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: so it's up well over one thousand percent, well over
- 1:19:40Speaker 1: one thousand percent. So whatever gold is reflecting, it's not
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: the declining purchasing power of your dollar. It's eighteen x
- 1:19:51Speaker 1: instead of four x, so that's a lot more. That's
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: not even a little bit more, that's a lot more,
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: so eighteen times what it used to be, whereas hospital services,
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: the thing that's gone up the most, is only four x.
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: So it ain't it ain't purchasing power. It ain't purchasing power.
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: You can think about what it is. It's increasing probability
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: of the end of the world and so on. But
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: if they increase in probility of the end of the world,
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: is not reflected in any other asset. But it's not
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: purchasing power. Oh in the future, all right, well there'll
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: be a measure for that. Right, Let's see if prices
- 1:20:50Speaker 1: go up eighteen hundred percent from now into the future.
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: So it's it's basically saying we're heading towards hype in flat. Uh.
- 1:21:02Speaker 1: No other market is saying that. The bond market is
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: not suggesting hype inflation. Only gold is suggesting hyper inflation,
- 1:21:08Speaker 1: and not not just a little bit inflation, hype inflation,
- 1:21:14Speaker 1: massive increases in the money's wall in the future, but
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: it's purchasing power. It has to boil down to purchasing power. Right.
- 1:21:20Speaker 1: If you have a massive increasing amount of money, then
- 1:21:22Speaker 1: the purchasing power the dollar declines ultimately, ultimately, maybe not immediately,
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: you know, prices go up. That that's how the cycular inflation.
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: You get model investment, but prices overall go up. Uh.
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: I know, you guys, you guys, you're fine. I'm just
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: asking questions, you know, like like techer colls Im just
- 1:21:49Speaker 1: asking questions and you guys get to answer them, and
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: you guys, you know, maybe there's maybe they're hedging against
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: the end of the world. But why why is that
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: not priced into any other acid class. It's the only
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: acid class in which the end of the world is
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: being being included. Uh, it's the only acid class in
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: which a massive increase in the supply of money is
- 1:22:15Speaker 1: being priced. No other acid, no other acid class is
- 1:22:19Speaker 1: priced is pricing it right? If the money supply is
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: going to increase dramatically in the future, why isn't that
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: priced by the bond markets either? The bond market is
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: in a in the opposite of a bubble, right, well,
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: in a bubble, because it will it will collapse. Prices
- 1:22:37Speaker 1: will go down if the money supply goes through the roof.
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: Or gold is in a bubble. But you can't have both.
- 1:22:42Speaker 1: You have to choose. Something is mispriced? Is it gold?
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: Is it bonds? Is it stocks? It can be that
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: all of them at this level make any sense. It doesn't,
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: It doesn't. Putting other bonds doesn't cure the problem. Printing
- 1:23:02Speaker 1: more bonds doesn't change one iota, right, It doesn't change anything.
- 1:23:12Speaker 1: If the quantity of bonds increases, then what happens? I mean,
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: think that problem through and tell me that interest rates
- 1:23:23Speaker 1: stay low. All right, thanks guys, That is the news
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: for this Monday, January twenty sixth. I am way behind.
- 1:23:34Speaker 1: I've got a hot stop, and I took way too
- 1:23:37Speaker 1: long on all of that, and we could probably go
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: quite a bit longer debating gold and so on. I
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: think silver is a little different because silver is actually
- 1:23:47Speaker 1: productive demand for national security reasons and other reasons to
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: build weapons systems and other things. That's not the case
- 1:23:56Speaker 1: with gold. All Right, Again, I don't know what the
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: right price of silver would be. I don't know what
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: the right price of gold would be. I'm just saying,
- 1:24:05Speaker 1: be wary something. There's a massive mispricing going on here.
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: Somewhere in the system is completely rodded, and it's true.
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: I think what Peter Shift would say is that the
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: bond market is completely screwed up and that the stock
- 1:24:20Speaker 1: market is completely screwed up, and it's gold that is right.
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: And Okay, I'm willing to accept that. But if you
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: want to tell me that all these markets are correctly priced,
- 1:24:33Speaker 1: I am very skeptical, very skeptical. Somebody is mispricing. And
- 1:24:39Speaker 1: why one would think that the gold market is a
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: better price of the future than the stock market and
- 1:24:45Speaker 1: the bond market, I have no idea. I mean, I
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: get white Peter Shift thinks that, but I don't understand
- 1:24:50Speaker 1: why you guys think that. All right, let's get into
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: the questions, because I'm way late. Michael says. It's as
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: if the nihilistic losers leave ask the anonymous comments online
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: are so enamored with the fact that Trump is doing
- 1:25:04Speaker 1: the awful things that they want. Yeah, I mean, I
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: think they love this, they relish. I mean, I think
- 1:25:12Speaker 1: there are significant numbers of people sadly in this country
- 1:25:16Speaker 1: who really do think that? Well, one less leftist who cares.
- 1:25:22Speaker 1: I mean, not as shocking, but I think it's I
- 1:25:24Speaker 1: think sadly it's true. Here's the second part, but I
- 1:25:28Speaker 1: don't know where the first part is. Michael. You've got
- 1:25:31Speaker 1: to make the first part the higher dollar denominated and
- 1:25:33Speaker 1: the second part the lower dominant denominated. Otherwise I'm spending
- 1:25:37Speaker 1: time searching for part one. Oh, there it is, Okay,
- 1:25:43Speaker 1: I found it, Paul One. I generally don't approach debates
- 1:25:47Speaker 1: with I'm right, you're wrong. Good. Oh, my ideas are right,
- 1:25:50Speaker 1: yours are wrong, that's good. I'll say these ideas are
- 1:25:55Speaker 1: right because they correspond with reality. Here's why it comes
- 1:25:59Speaker 1: off as less of a personal attack and more about
- 1:26:01Speaker 1: seeking the truth, so people become less defensive. I think
- 1:26:04Speaker 1: that's right. I wouldn't even say these ideas are right.
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: I would say these ideas correspond with reality. That's why
- 1:26:11Speaker 1: I think they're right. I wouldn't start with these ideas
- 1:26:16Speaker 1: are right. I would start with these ideas correspond to reality,
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: and then let them draw the conclusion. Oh, correspond to
- 1:26:22Speaker 1: reality means right. So I agree that that's the right
- 1:26:27Speaker 1: way to approach a debate with people. Not necessarily an
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: X on Twitter where you're not really making an argument.
- 1:26:35Speaker 1: It's just a combat who you know, it's about pissing
- 1:26:37Speaker 1: each other off. But I think in life that's the
- 1:26:40Speaker 1: right way, definitely the right way to approach debate. Michael,
- 1:26:44Speaker 1: was Hillary Clinton correct in saying Trump's coalition is a
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: basket of deplorables other rights deployables, worse than the left
- 1:26:52Speaker 1: because at least the left is too educated to be
- 1:26:55Speaker 1: this brutish. Well, I mean, I don't know that that's true.
- 1:27:01Speaker 1: I think diplobles are deploables. The left. Diplobles are just
- 1:27:06Speaker 1: as evil and maybe even more dangerous because they're educated.
- 1:27:10Speaker 1: Think about the fact that the communists way educated, the
- 1:27:14Speaker 1: fascists way educated, and think about the horrors that they did.
- 1:27:18Speaker 1: So I wouldn't say that education. They educated always find
- 1:27:23Speaker 1: the brutes to do their work, Like the college grads
- 1:27:26Speaker 1: have the Antifa thugs to do their bidding, and and
- 1:27:32Speaker 1: you know whatever educated Nazis, they had the thugs of
- 1:27:36Speaker 1: the SS to do the work for them. So they're
- 1:27:40Speaker 1: all the same in that sense. Now, yes, I think
- 1:27:43Speaker 1: generally people on the right, people attracted to the right
- 1:27:49Speaker 1: are less educated and are not very smart there. You
- 1:27:56Speaker 1: can see that in the kind of debates you have
- 1:27:58Speaker 1: that they have no sophistication, no smarts. I think Richard
- 1:28:02Speaker 1: Hanania talks about the fact that the rights human capital
- 1:28:06Speaker 1: is signi beginning less than the left human capital. That
- 1:28:09Speaker 1: doesn't make the left better because the left has awful,
- 1:28:12Speaker 1: horrific ideas. And that's at the end of the day,
- 1:28:15Speaker 1: what batter is, Michael, The trajectory of reversing our descent
- 1:28:21Speaker 1: into an irrational society is skewed since we are just
- 1:28:25Speaker 1: coasting off of a good but imperfect set of ideas
- 1:28:29Speaker 1: from ancient Greece. Yeah, from the Enlightenment. Ancient Greece is
- 1:28:33Speaker 1: too far away, but from the Enlightenment they modern interpretation
- 1:28:35Speaker 1: in the Enlightenment. That's true. You know, that's what we're
- 1:28:38Speaker 1: coasting on, and it's hard to tell how long we
- 1:28:43Speaker 1: can coast on it. But of course some of us
- 1:28:45Speaker 1: are fighting for those ideas and trying to get them
- 1:28:47Speaker 1: out there and trying to give them a better foundation
- 1:28:50Speaker 1: and trying to build on them. Because it's through a
- 1:28:54Speaker 1: few stickers. Why gelber Bell, I don't know, thank you,
- 1:29:00Speaker 1: thank you for the sticker, really appreciate it and make
- 1:29:03Speaker 1: Thank you for the sticker. Kay Dempta, thank you for
- 1:29:08Speaker 1: the sticker. Let's see Bonnie, thank you. Who else do

- 1:29:37Speaker 1: Fred Greg Lewis, thank you guys. Thanks for the stickers. Well,
- 1:29:40Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty three dollars still one hundred and
- 1:29:42Speaker 1: twenty three dollars short of our two hour goal. I
- 1:29:45Speaker 1: think we're going to reach the two hours. If you
- 1:29:48Speaker 1: could do some stickers to get us closer to that goal,
- 1:29:51Speaker 1: I'd really appreciate it. Questions are going to be tough
- 1:29:53Speaker 1: only well no, only because I'm limited in time and
- 1:29:57Speaker 1: we have a lot of questions still. But you know,
- 1:29:59Speaker 1: if you do twenty dollar questions are good, twenty above
- 1:30:02Speaker 1: questions are good. If it's less than that, please do stickers,

- 1:30:31Speaker 1: Show your trade trade with me. I did this trade
- 1:30:36Speaker 1: back with some support, all right, Jennifer Russia has a
- 1:30:39Speaker 1: song called which hunt quote. They say they are strangers
- 1:30:44Speaker 1: who threaten US immigrants and infidels. They say there is
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: strangers to strangeness too dangerous. God can't read that song
- 1:30:55Speaker 1: is forty five years old. Has nothing improved since then? No,
- 1:30:59Speaker 1: it's probably gone worse since then, not improved. Cutinly, don't
- 1:31:02Speaker 1: think it's improved. I think it's gone worse. Mike, I
- 1:31:07Speaker 1: retired from NSA when where I worked on the PAISA program,
- 1:31:14Speaker 1: we were forbidden to monitor Americans and were regularly audited.
- 1:31:18Speaker 1: I'm curious, Mike, what years were you at the NSA.
- 1:31:24Speaker 1: It would be I'm just curious because I had an
- 1:31:28Speaker 1: experience with the NSA. I'm trying to think when this
- 1:31:31Speaker 1: was God, this is just as the auditing, the regular
- 1:31:39Speaker 1: auditing was entering in oh just after snowdon So I
- 1:31:46Speaker 1: was at the NSA a few months after Snowden, and
- 1:31:49Speaker 1: I was shocked by what they told me, but and
- 1:31:53Speaker 1: depressed and shocked in a bad way. You were tied
- 1:31:55Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. But when did you start? What years
- 1:31:58Speaker 1: were you there? I'm curious? And when When was Snowden?
- 1:32:02Speaker 1: When was Snowden? When it's Snowden do his thing? Anybody remember?
- 1:32:17Speaker 1: So I was there in between seventy two to twenty twenty. Well, okay,
- 1:32:22Speaker 1: so you were there when I was, when I was,
- 1:32:24Speaker 1: when I was visiting, But I was. I was surprised
- 1:32:33Speaker 1: by what they told us in terms of who they
- 1:32:36Speaker 1: monitor for what they monitored. But yes, they you know,
- 1:32:39Speaker 1: they by law and essay it's forbidden to monitor Americans
- 1:32:45Speaker 1: unless there's a warrant and it's related to a foreigner,
- 1:32:49Speaker 1: to communication with the foreigners. Twenty thirteen was snowed in,
- 1:32:54Speaker 1: So I was. I was at the NSA in twenty fourteen,
- 1:32:56Speaker 1: probably late maybe late twenty thirteen, and we had the
- 1:33:01Speaker 1: entire leadership of the NSA come and do a little
- 1:33:04Speaker 1: presentation in front of us, and it was terrible. Sorry, Mike,
- 1:33:12Speaker 1: but I admire what you did there. You know, the
- 1:33:14Speaker 1: work that the NSA does, you know, it's the most
- 1:33:18Speaker 1: advanced group in the world in terms of the intelligence
- 1:33:22Speaker 1: that they gather. There's no question about that. It's the leadership,
- 1:33:27Speaker 1: and particularly the political leadership that is problematic. Uh Savano's
- 1:33:34Speaker 1: on a long term basis, do you think Islam will
- 1:33:37Speaker 1: grow dominant compeat to Christianity? Was is now? No? Because
- 1:33:42Speaker 1: the two week the two week I mean, look what's
- 1:33:46Speaker 1: happening in Iran. They've had their run in Iran and
- 1:33:50Speaker 1: now they're falling apart. Maybe Pakistan has nukes, but the good, poor,
- 1:33:59Speaker 1: the it's just too weak that they're not the Christians have.
- 1:34:07Speaker 1: They have control of a very rich society's they could
- 1:34:10Speaker 1: crush the Muslim world at any time. So I don't
- 1:34:13Speaker 1: think Islam is going to gain. And if if they
- 1:34:16Speaker 1: get too violent and if they get too too aggressive,
- 1:34:22Speaker 1: I think that right wing political parties and places like
- 1:34:25Speaker 1: you O will rise up and really take them out,
- 1:34:29Speaker 1: really take them out. I've told the NSA story in
- 1:34:35Speaker 1: a variety of different places and times. Not today, Another
- 1:34:39Speaker 1: time I'll tell you the NSA story. I'll be curious
- 1:34:42Speaker 1: what Mike, what Mike will think, What Mike will think. Yeah,
- 1:34:50Speaker 1: I can imagine if you're monitoring the Chinese, you would
- 1:34:52Speaker 1: have no time on Americans. I mean that there's a
- 1:34:56Speaker 1: lot of Chinese and there's a lot of there's a
- 1:34:58Speaker 1: lot to monitor over there. It's a big, active, engaged country,
- 1:35:05Speaker 1: you know. And particularly the period were you were there
- 1:35:08Speaker 1: seventy two to twenty twenty. God, the changes you must
- 1:35:12Speaker 1: have seen in terms of China are pretty amazing, right,
- 1:35:17Speaker 1: I mean, you went from China being nothing and do
- 1:35:21Speaker 1: it poor and Nixon going over there seventy two is
- 1:35:25Speaker 1: where Nixon went. It is just when you started to
- 1:35:28Speaker 1: China becoming this technological behomeos and the changes must have
- 1:35:33Speaker 1: been amazing to experience from an intelligent gathering perspective. Interesting,
- 1:35:39Speaker 1: all right, Moulten Splendor. Has any politic politician ever run
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: a campaign advocating an immigration policy similar to what you've
- 1:35:46Speaker 1: been advocating, such as work requirements, no welfare, and other
- 1:35:50Speaker 1: benefits such as education, et cetera. If not is altruism
- 1:35:54Speaker 1: to blame altruism is you know, phobia? But no, no
- 1:35:58Speaker 1: politicians run of it now. They proposal in the House
- 1:36:02Speaker 1: of Representatives about ten years ago promoted by a Colorado businesswoman,
- 1:36:09Speaker 1: and she had a bill written up that basically would
- 1:36:14Speaker 1: make would it would make it easy for anybody getting
- 1:36:19Speaker 1: a job in the United States to come in. I
- 1:36:21Speaker 1: can't remember all the details about it, but much of
- 1:36:23Speaker 1: my proposal is modeled after hers. I don't know if
- 1:36:27Speaker 1: it had no welfare, but it had basically, employment agencies
- 1:36:33Speaker 1: could give once they ran a n FBI check on somebody,
- 1:36:37Speaker 1: could give them a visa if they could match them
- 1:36:40Speaker 1: up with an employee in the United States. So employment
- 1:36:44Speaker 1: agencies all over the world could stamp visas after an
- 1:36:47Speaker 1: FBI check and after a match. I thought it was brilliant.
- 1:36:51Speaker 1: I thought it was I mean, I thought it was
- 1:36:52Speaker 1: the right proposal. She got a few Congressmen to support it,
- 1:36:58Speaker 1: and it wouldn't go anywhere, and it just died. I
- 1:37:01Speaker 1: think this is during Obama. I think it's during Obama.
- 1:37:06Speaker 1: But a couple of Republicans supported it, and then nobody
- 1:37:10Speaker 1: else would. Republicans killed it, Democrats killed it. Nobody wanted it.
- 1:37:14Speaker 1: Nobody wanted Democrats don't want it because they don't want
- 1:37:17Speaker 1: the unions to be upset, and Republicans don't want it
- 1:37:20Speaker 1: because their problem is not work of welfare any of that.
- 1:37:23Speaker 1: Their problem is not wanting foreigners, not wanting competition for Americans,
- 1:37:32Speaker 1: Kay dempt no question, just I appreciate your integrity in
- 1:37:35Speaker 1: these insane times. Thank you, really really appreciated. I really
- 1:37:38Speaker 1: appreciate all of your support. It's tough to support my position,
- 1:37:42Speaker 1: I know, and I appreciate it. I really do appreciate it. Remo.
- 1:37:48Speaker 1: First recommendation, reporter, I don't really have any you know,
- 1:37:52Speaker 1: walk around the old town is really pretty, down by
- 1:37:56Speaker 1: the river and then up into the hills. A lot
- 1:37:58Speaker 1: of stairs be ready for workout, which is good. But
- 1:38:03Speaker 1: ask like Rafael is often here on the chat, askar
- 1:38:08Speaker 1: file he's from Lisbon. But you know, no, he's originally
- 1:38:11Speaker 1: from Porto. I think, so he knows Porto. Well, he
- 1:38:15Speaker 1: lived in Porto Fo. Well, anyway, he knows Porto. So
- 1:38:18Speaker 1: ask garfile and I'm sure there'll be lots of recommendations
- 1:38:23Speaker 1: when you get there. I haven't spent enough time in
- 1:38:25Speaker 1: Porto specific The food is great. It's just a pretty city.
- 1:38:31Speaker 1: Just walk around the downtown and the hills and the river.
- 1:38:37Speaker 1: Remo is his value for value, Thank you, Remo, Michael.
- 1:38:40Speaker 1: What gives me hope is that in nineteen thirties Germany
- 1:38:44Speaker 1: there was no pushback to the Gestapo. Americans are getting
- 1:38:46Speaker 1: furious with Ice in its early stages. Yes, yes, this
- 1:38:51Speaker 1: will not go down, and Trump is facing opposition the
- 1:38:54Speaker 1: fact that we live in a fifty to fifty society,
- 1:38:58Speaker 1: and even the fifty that supports Trump is not really fifty,
- 1:39:00Speaker 1: it's like thirty, and then there's twenty that could go
- 1:39:02Speaker 1: either way. Then I'm just going to roll over. I
- 1:39:05Speaker 1: don't think they're not going to just roll over. And
- 1:39:08Speaker 1: the more this gets, the more Ice gets in people's face,
- 1:39:11Speaker 1: the more it's obviously going against the law, the more
- 1:39:14Speaker 1: it's obviously nasty, the more people will object. And that's
- 1:39:18Speaker 1: why I think they won't be able to overturn elections.
- 1:39:20Speaker 1: They won't be able to do that because the people
- 1:39:22Speaker 1: just won't tolerate it. And we still have a quote
- 1:39:24Speaker 1: system is pretty decent. Conservative justice justices and left of
- 1:39:30Speaker 1: center justices are pretty good, and they pretty committed to
- 1:39:35Speaker 1: the rule of law, and they're pretty committed to the Constitution,
- 1:39:38Speaker 1: even if they're understanding of it is flawed. Newly, Dan,
- 1:39:42Speaker 1: someone told me that, unlike authoritarianism, socialism could be anarchy.
- 1:39:46Speaker 1: I said no, because socialism requires leaders to decide right
- 1:39:49Speaker 1: versus wrong. Correct, Yeah, but so does anarchy. I mean
- 1:39:53Speaker 1: all anarchy devolves into leaders to decide what is right
- 1:39:57Speaker 1: and wrong, call them the police, agent, sees, or whatever
- 1:40:00Speaker 1: they call it, and the anarchy. So socialism can be anarchy,
- 1:40:04Speaker 1: but anarchy is authoritarian. The very nature of anarchy is authoritarianism.
- 1:40:10Speaker 1: There is no such thing as There is no such
- 1:40:13Speaker 1: thing as so called real fantasy anarchy, the freedom of
- 1:40:17Speaker 1: the individual. Anarchy always evolves into authoritarianism. Somebody has to
- 1:40:22Speaker 1: decide what's right or was wrong, whether it's a constitution
- 1:40:25Speaker 1: and a legal system that is not allowed in anarchy.
- 1:40:29Speaker 1: So it has to be this gang versus that gang,
- 1:40:31Speaker 1: and somebody has to run the gang. All right, Michael,
- 1:40:53Speaker 1: not trained at all, no real threat management strategies, nobody
- 1:40:58Speaker 1: making the call, just everybody jump being in all to
- 1:41:00Speaker 1: goe to play the enforcer. Yeah, I mean they're thugs.
- 1:41:03Speaker 1: It's like a little gang of thugs. Yes, there's no
- 1:41:08Speaker 1: there's no how to deal in comforntation. How to I
- 1:41:11Speaker 1: mean think about the police. The police chief of Minneapolis
- 1:41:14Speaker 1: made this case. He said, you know, we make X
- 1:41:16Speaker 1: number of hundreds of arrests. We disarmed people all the time.
- 1:41:21Speaker 1: We take weapons away from people who are armed all
- 1:41:24Speaker 1: the time. All the time, and we haven't shot a
- 1:41:27Speaker 1: person in a year. We haven't shot I think he
- 1:41:30Speaker 1: said nine hundred weapons have been taken off of people
- 1:41:33Speaker 1: without having to shoot them because they know what they're doing,
- 1:41:35Speaker 1: at least to some extent. The professional. You know, I
- 1:41:39Speaker 1: have some qualms about how well police are trained, but
- 1:41:42Speaker 1: these guys are trained much much less than police are, Michael.
- 1:41:52Speaker 1: The American people are recognizing this looks more like gang
- 1:41:56Speaker 1: thug violence and actual legitimate governor. Governor, yes, and there's
- 1:42:01Speaker 1: all of a sight and there's no ricos. They have immunity,
- 1:42:06Speaker 1: there's no ricos, And I don't think that American people
- 1:42:09Speaker 1: are going to tolerate that for very long. Michael. Is
- 1:42:14Speaker 1: there less of a culture of envy in Asia than
- 1:42:17Speaker 1: the Europe in the US? I don't know. I don't
- 1:42:23Speaker 1: think there's a culture of envy in Asia. I think
- 1:42:26Speaker 1: they accept the fact that some have more somewhere the less.
- 1:42:30Speaker 1: So I don't think there's as much of a culture
- 1:42:32Speaker 1: of envy. But I don't know Asian culture as well
- 1:42:35Speaker 1: as I probably should. It doesn't strike me like in
- 1:42:40Speaker 1: China there's a big culture of envy American individuals, individuals
- 1:42:50Speaker 1: within America I think will not tolerate what is going
- 1:42:54Speaker 1: on right now. Good call. We don't know who the
- 1:42:56Speaker 1: American people are. You're right, Chandler. Chandler's gonna call me
- 1:43:02Speaker 1: out on my collectivism. Thank you. Chandler. AJ says there
- 1:43:11Speaker 1: is is there difference between Southern Asian culture and Eastern
- 1:43:18Speaker 1: Asian culture? Is there is there as much envy in
- 1:43:24Speaker 1: South Korea as there is in India or China or Japan.
- 1:43:29Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I are they all the
- 1:43:30Speaker 1: same culture. I'd have to know more than I do.
- 1:43:35Speaker 1: Chandler's doing a civic duty. Absolutely, Thank you for catching
- 1:43:38Speaker 1: me out. Oops, Michael. People who live under freedom are
- 1:43:45Speaker 1: just going to give are not just going to give
- 1:43:49Speaker 1: it up. They're going to rise up. I hope so.
- 1:43:52Speaker 1: I hope so at least if they get pushed enough.
- 1:43:55Speaker 1: If they get pushed enough, I mean, yeah, newly. Then
- 1:44:01Speaker 1: which of mine Man's writings are most difficult to comprehend?
- 1:44:05Speaker 1: Are those who don't comprehend fully less likely to want
- 1:44:08Speaker 1: to read more of her works? You know? I don't know.
- 1:44:11Speaker 1: I think for different people it's different stuff. I think
- 1:44:15Speaker 1: her essays and philosophy are not easy to comprehend. I
- 1:44:19Speaker 1: don't think what is capitalism or the objectivist ethics are
- 1:44:23Speaker 1: easy essays, but her pistemology is probably the hardest, just
- 1:44:27Speaker 1: because of stemology is the hardest. And yes, I think
- 1:44:33Speaker 1: if people don't get something or challenged by it, then
- 1:44:40Speaker 1: they might give up. But that would be a shame.
- 1:44:41Speaker 1: I mean, OPA is a good book that explains her
- 1:44:45Speaker 1: philosophy and makes it more more manageable and more observable.
- 1:44:52Speaker 1: By the way, I owe you guys an answer about
- 1:44:56Speaker 1: the OPA study group. It's going to happen, and it's
- 1:45:00Speaker 1: going to be seventy five dollars a month, and I
- 1:45:03Speaker 1: will you know, and I'll have more details on it,
- 1:45:06Speaker 1: hopefully later this week. Neo, can the next president go
- 1:45:10Speaker 1: after Ice if possible? Yeah, but you know again, we're
- 1:45:15Speaker 1: going to get Republicans going after Democrats, Democrats going after Republicans,
- 1:45:19Speaker 1: and we'll keep switching administrations that keep going after each other.
- 1:45:23Speaker 1: We need to come to some we need to stop
- 1:45:26Speaker 1: that and really return to a real rule of law,
- 1:45:30Speaker 1: and I'm hoping the courts will help us do that newly. Then,
- 1:45:35Speaker 1: can you advise me of a strategy and how I
- 1:45:37Speaker 1: can plan a low budget trip to Porto for AFC. Again,
- 1:45:42Speaker 1: I don't know where you're coming from Newly Dan, but look,
- 1:45:45Speaker 1: Ryan Air in Europe. Porto is a hub, so they
- 1:45:49Speaker 1: have a lot of flights, so you can get I
- 1:45:52Speaker 1: don't know, you can get very cheap flights in the
- 1:45:54Speaker 1: Poto on Ryanair less than one hundred bucks probably even
- 1:45:58Speaker 1: round trip. You can get to Porto for many European cities.
- 1:46:03Speaker 1: If you're coming from the US, it's a little trickier
- 1:46:06Speaker 1: because yeah, you know, but there are low budget airlines
- 1:46:12Speaker 1: that I think there are chief flights into Europe and
- 1:46:15Speaker 1: maybe even chief flights into into Portugal. Uh. In terms
- 1:46:18Speaker 1: of staying in Porto, the hostels for young for young people,
- 1:46:24Speaker 1: there are you know, decent three star hotels that you
- 1:46:29Speaker 1: can stay for very reasonable prices. So and Porto you
- 1:46:34Speaker 1: can walk a lot of places, and Uber is pretty
- 1:46:37Speaker 1: pretty reasonably priced in Portugal. So I don't think it's
- 1:46:43Speaker 1: expensive to travel there. But I don't know where you're
- 1:46:47Speaker 1: coming from. Michael Maga is a constant campaign to shake
- 1:46:52Speaker 1: us up on a daily basis. Yeah, I mean they
- 1:46:56Speaker 1: they want they want hostility, they want angst, they want
- 1:47:06Speaker 1: Robin says a hostile room with Randoms is plain awful.
- 1:47:10Speaker 1: You know when you're young, I don't know. I stayed
- 1:47:13Speaker 1: in hostels. It was okay. You know, you can you
- 1:47:15Speaker 1: can a couple of nights there. You're not released. You
- 1:47:18Speaker 1: just need a bad It can be fine, It can
- 1:47:21Speaker 1: be fine. Ryan. Like the show, Yes, like the show.

- 1:47:57Speaker 1: they will have restrictions. I just don't think they're legit, right,
- 1:48:00Speaker 1: the arbitrary restrictions on human for what right? Uh? And
- 1:48:05Speaker 1: today they restrict these guys, and tomorrow they restrict somebody else.
- 1:48:08Speaker 1: You have to have a principle for the restrictions, and
- 1:48:11Speaker 1: the principle should be the enemy. They want to destroy us.
- 1:48:18Speaker 1: Roland I'd actually prefer to hear more about the developments
- 1:48:21Speaker 1: in China than what the Maga zombies have to say. Yeah,
- 1:48:24Speaker 1: so would I. But nobody knows what the developments in
- 1:48:28Speaker 1: China really are. That's the thing we get. There are
- 1:48:31Speaker 1: lots of rumors. I'm reading lots and lots of rumors,
- 1:48:33Speaker 1: but the better people that I read are basically saying,
- 1:48:40Speaker 1: don't believe the rumors. Don't believe that. Even though well
- 1:48:42Speaker 1: seet journal, you know, we don't know what's happening in China.
- 1:48:46Speaker 1: We don't know exactly what caused it. We don't know
- 1:48:48Speaker 1: exactly what happened. What we know is that the entire
- 1:48:52Speaker 1: senior military leadership of China's just been arrested, supposedly for fraud,
- 1:48:58Speaker 1: supposedly for corruption. But the option is just a keyword
- 1:49:02Speaker 1: for I want to get rid of you. So you know,
- 1:49:09Speaker 1: there's no there's no I don't know what happened there.
- 1:49:18Speaker 1: There's no uh, there's no more than that there, right,
- 1:49:23Speaker 1: So I wish I knew more. If I know more,
- 1:49:26Speaker 1: and if I read more, if it's if it's interesting,
- 1:49:29Speaker 1: or if it's something we're talking about, well that I'll
- 1:49:31Speaker 1: definitely bring it up again. W c z N headings
