  Speaker 1: A lot of fundamental printles I loved last cells and
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: in individual ones. This is the show. Oh right, everybody,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: welcome to your one book show on this Wednesday, January eighth.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Is having a fantastic week. Uh and uh let's see,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: we're gonna jump into the news here in a minute.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: No no football soccer today, so a little bit of
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: withdrawal sim symptoms, symptoms, I can speak. Okay, that's good.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Uh So back to the games, uh, I guess tomorrow
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: after some exciting games h earlier this week, just give
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: you an update on the uh raising contributions for the
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: filming of the videos. We've raised more than half, so
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: we're over eight thousand dollars. Now we're trying to raise
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: fifteen thousands, so we're still looking for another seven but
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the pace is amazing. So thank you, thank you, thank
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: you to all the people who've already contributed. You will
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: hear from us once the campaign is complete, but thank you.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Again, still looking for a few more
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: people who can help with it and make sure that
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: it gets off the ground at the Yeah, fifteen thousand dollars.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: These these are kind of documentary style videos that we're
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: going to do in London in September to kind of
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: and release on YouTube and of the platforms with the
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: idea of really growing the channel. So thank you for
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: those of you who are supporting that effort, and hopefully
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: we can get more of you on board so we
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: can make the numbers. We've got a few thousand dollars
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: supporters who are going to be executive producers on the show.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: A few more and we're done. I just posted on
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the chat the link, but it's basically just go to
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: just go to patreon dot com yourn Book Show and
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: look for the posts and scroll down. It's the Iron
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Book London Documentary project. I need to check if we
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: already have it on the yourn Book Show website. I'm
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: not sure if it's if it's there yet, but yeah,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: hopefully if it's not there yet, it will be there soon.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: So let me see not there, I don't see it there,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: and yeah, it's not there yet, but it should be soon. Uh,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and hopefully you'll have an opportunity to support it once
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: it's up there. All right, all right, let's jump in.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: So first story is AI related AIS in the news daily, uh,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: you know constantly and one of the one of the
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: big questions, of course, is uh, you know, competition. AI
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: is incredibly an incredibly competitive business right now. And and
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: yet a lot of these companies like Anthropic and Opening Eye,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: who are going public in the day weeks to come,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: uh getting valuations that would suggest that they have incredible
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: pricing power, that they will be able to charge huge
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: amounts of money for the use of of AI, you know,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: and they have been. I mean, the growth in Anthropic
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: revenue over the last few months has been astronomical. It's
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: it's just been unprecedented in terms of the speed at
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: which they've managed to gain revenue. And this is because
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: you know, Coporate America has started to use AI agents
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: in on a scale and they pay per usage on
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: in terms of the amount of the usage. They paper tokens,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: which is some estimate of the amount of woods used
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: or some or some something similar to that. And and
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: it's it is it's expensive, right if you use this
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: in Bolk. Now I've got like a twenty dollars subscription
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: to open ee and and you need cloud for something
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: similar to that. But corporations are basically paying pu unit used,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: and and it's it's incredibly expensive and a lot of
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of people in corporate America are starting to
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: bulk at that. It's it's not clear that they're getting
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: the value given the cost of it. But more importantly
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: than that, there are now real alternatives. UH. Chinese models,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: which are mostly open source models, are significantly cheaper than
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: anthropic and A and open AI, and for the tasks
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: that a lot of businesses are looking for, they are
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: as good or nearly as good as the leading models
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: in CHACHIPTI and open EI. So poer unit of use
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: and pro value created them much much cheaper, you know.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: So for example, the most recent model out of a
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: lab in China is called GLM five point two, and
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: people are calling it really really good. In a marvel
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: and a step change, Mark Andresen has posted on Acts
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: that quote all insiders are saying GLM five point two
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: is the first Chinese AI model to match and often
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: beat the top public US models. That's for Mark and Reason.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: The CEO of a coding platform Vercell, said that he
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: is quote genuinely impressed, almost shocked by GLM five point
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: two's coding abilities. So GLn five point two is China's
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: inseet of clawed code, which is anthropics ingetic assistant that
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: helps people code. So there's a lot of movemental woods
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: these companies. GLn five point two is developed by Chinese
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: companies z dot Ai. Never heard of them, but there's
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: a lot of AI companies in China right now. And
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: again they are competitive, and they are several times cheaper.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I mean several times cheaper. I give you an example,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: deep Seek, which was the first Chinese model to come
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: to the United States and impress people. Deep Seek costs
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: aboutzer point eighty seven dollars eighty seven cents in other words,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: per million output tokens. Open Ai cost thirty dollars per
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: million output tokens. In other words, open ai costs more
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: than thirty x. Anthropy costs twenty five dollars only twenty five,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: twenty six, twenty seven x. That's a big deal. That's
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: a lot of money if you're doing trillions of output tokens.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: So uh, this is this is huge uh and and
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: this is the this is the thing with with tech
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: right it's incredibly valuable. It could you reach our life hugely.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: It can change the world, but it's not clear at
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, who's actually going to make money.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Because it's going to be so competitive creating these models,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: maintaining these models is going to be incredibly competitive. Profit
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: margins are going to be driven down, so video can
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: make money at least for now, because it's selling the
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: picks and the shovels to the gold rush. You know,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: people who made money in the gold Rush were not
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: necessarily the people who mined for gold, but the people
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: who sold the picks and the shovels and the tents
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: and the Genes Levi jeans and you know, the uh,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: it's not clear from the AI who is actually going
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: to make the money. And you know, you might say,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: well the Chinese models, but yes, Chinese Americans don't trust it.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: The fact is that US companies are dramatically have dramatically
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: increased the use of Chinese models this year. They were
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: in the low single digit usage in early twenty twenty five.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Today about thirty five of all token usage is for
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Chinese models. So for a lot of organizations, these models
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: have become the Chinese ones have become the mainstream, not
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: just some kind of nice niche, cheap niche that nobody
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: wants to touch. So we will see, and I said,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: in Vidia is going to make the money. But even
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: in Vidia, there's going to be competition. Other people are
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: going to figure out how to design you know, AI
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: chips A A M, D O I DM AMD ADM anyway,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: the designing chips through Other companies are designing chips, and
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: now the Chinese are getting into it, although again they
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: don't have the ability to make the most advanced chips
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: because they don't have access to TSMC in Taiwan, although
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: China might conquer Taiwan and then they'll have direct access
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: to it. But you know, Deep six, which is the
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: company again that developed AI model, is not developing their
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: own AI chips. They want to reduce their you know,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: reliance on Nvidia or y Wai chips. Another Chinese company
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: that's making chips, they are you know these the chips
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: are designing the design for inference, that stage in the
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: AI compute, which is where it generates response to users,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: rather than training the new models, which is a lot
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: of chips designed for the training, not for the infant stage.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: So other companies are going to get into this. I
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: don't know if Deep six will week Deep Seek will
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: be successful. I have no opinion about that, but it's
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: going to be the whole AI business is going to
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: be a competitive business and finding where the money is
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: I mean uh ai and anthropic. I'm sure that if
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: you were an early investor, you're going to make a
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: lot of money in those IPOs, But long term, are
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: they the winners? Who's the winner in the AI game?
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Not from a dominance perspective, not from we've got the
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: best product perspective, but from a long term money making perspective.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Who who is actually going to be out there making
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: money and making money for investors off of these and
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: it is it is hard to tell. Again, Chinese AI
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: model usage by US companies is somewhere around forty five
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: percent right now. That's huge. It's almost half of all
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: usage of AI by US companies, not individuals. By companies
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: is using Chinese models, not anthropic or open AI. And
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: the competition is only going to get more intense. So
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: where is the where's the real growth and thropic and
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: open ai? To justify the valuations and to justify the
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: hundreds of billions of dollars that they're investing in data centers,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: They're going to have to figure out a way to
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: capture more of the market. I have to find a
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: way to provide a significant step up from what the
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: competitive Chinese models offering in order to dominate the market.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: It seems like that's the only way they can justify
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the kind of valuations that they are seeking, all right.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Also noteworthy is that open ai has released the latest
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: greatest model of the five point six I think it is,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: and it was blocked by the Trump administration for a
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: while because it was too powerful. Well, today's suppose it
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: was released, so you should be seeing it soon. As
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: I said, I've got a subscription to open Ai to
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: check GPTs. Hopefully i'll be able to use the five
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: point six version. I don't know if it'll make any
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: difference for this kind of stuff I'm using it for,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: but it will be. It will be interesting. It will
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: be super interesting. So I am looking forward to that.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: I hope all of you have an opportunity to try
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: out these ais and uh, you know, and play around
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: with them. It's it's unbelievable, really unbelievable technology. It's it's
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: really amazing, all right. Just something completely different, completely different.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about talk about Trump and NATO. As you know,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Trump is in is in Turkey attending the NATO summit
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: and meeting with US NATO allies and TOOKI and he's listen,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: it was a Lensky. So we'll cover we'll try to
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: cover all of that. Every day brings new stuff, and
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: of course things are developing rapidly in Iran, so we'll
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: talk about that as well. I think the news today
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: interesting out of NATO is Trump saying things like, you know,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: NATO's now unified. Here's something he said, you know about
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: NATO not supporting the one Ran and not supporting US
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: and allowing US to fly and land in in bases
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: in Europe. This is what Trump says. They just had
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: a bad moment. Someone had to remain on the sidelines.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: I didn't like that answer, right, But then he said,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I can only say that. If there's one wood that
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: comes out of today his meetings in NATO today, it
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: is unification. Unification. NATO's unified. So Trump says, you know, uh,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: you know, he's he's now uh unified with Trump, He's committed,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: unified with NATO's committed to NATO. He's made great progress.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: NATO countries are moving towards the five percent of GDP goal. Uh.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: And then he says many of these countries are very rich.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: By the way they we'd love to feel sorry about it,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: but it doesn't mean, uh, they're properly protected. There's a
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: big difference. Some have truly answered the call. Anothers are
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: making big changes and will answer the call. I think
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: I can say in all cases they're going to be
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: answering the call. Trumpe Is said that the summit has
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: been very successful. He praised uh Urdigan, of course, and
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: praised their native secretary Mark Ute, and uh, you know,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Trump said, there was tremendous love in the room. They
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: all love Trump. I can assure you they have a
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: lot of good in their hearts, not evil good, and
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: they're doing a great job for their country. The world
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: is doing well. Trump is just he's just you have
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: to say, he's just hysterical with so much of this stuff.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: A lot of it is just really really really funny.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: But anyway, a great meeting. You know, he's come out
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: of it really well. He is. He said. According to
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Mark Route, the head of NATO, that Trump is completely
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: committed to NATO. Now, remember when he was withdrawing troops
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: and he was not going to defend NATO and he
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: was sending troops back home. Uh and mark Uta said
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: he is completely committed to this. There is a complete
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: commitment of the United States and NATO. That's the strongest
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: anybody said anything about NATO in a long time. And
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: this is interesting. I don't know what they did during
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: the meeting to get him so committed and so friendly
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: and so excited, because when he arrived, basically Trump was saying,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: you know, I couldn't remove all the troops from Europe.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: You know, I could remove them all. And then he said,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I really do want Greenland. It really is not okay
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: that they're not giving me Greenland. So you know, he said,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: it continues to be that Greenland should be controlled by
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: the United States, not by Denmark. That's why, that's what
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: hurt my relationship with NATO because Greenland doesn't help Denmark.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Denmark doesn't spend money to really help Greenland. But it's
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: an important part of the United States. So yeah, he
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: was he was insulted. Maybe they're giving him Greenland. You
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: think they're giving him Greenland. That's what put him in
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: a good mood. I don't know, but today's in a
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: good mood. Today, he's committed to NATO. Today he's not
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: withdrawing any troops. I mean, the bottom line is the
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: bottom line is Trump is is just driven by wim.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: It's just wim. And today feels good about it. Yesterday
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: didn't feel good about it. Tomorrow, who knows what he'll
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: feel about it. But it's all feeling emotion. There's nothing
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: real there. It's yeah, you know, it's it really is crazy.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: It really is crazy. Yesterday Trump said, I just give
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: you a sense of this wim. Yesterday said he he told,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: he told Rubio and he told a Bessett Jersey said,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: say to stop trading with Spain, complete stoppage of trading
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: with Spain. He's pissed off in Spain. Today, everybody's doing
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: great and spent five Minister said that there was no
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: tension between him and Trump and they had an informal
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: chat and they talked about the World Cup and everything
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: is good. Everything is good. Sanchez said. The two men
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: spoke with quote absolute and complete cordiality, and Trump did
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: not threaten to stop trading at all with everybody. What
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: a clown show. During meetings today, Trump also said, just
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: as related to the Middle East, just stuff right. One
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: of the things that he said was he is going
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: to remove Serriou's designation as a terrorist state. So as
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: we know, he's really really really happy with the terrorist
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: running oh sorry, the president running Syba. He's really happy
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: with the guy. So he's going to move their designation
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: as a terrorist state. And uh, and I guess maybe
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: the United States will sell them at thirty fives. I
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: don't know. We'll get to you run in a minute.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: In uh let's see, uh uh that is that? That
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: is that? TRM Bosso did commit that the United States
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: is going to boost uh defense contractors output. They're going
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: to get to build more missiles and build more stuff
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: so that to meet European demand for things like Tomahawk
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: missiles and Patriot A defense systems and things like that.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: So you know, again there's gonna be has to be
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: some real realignment in the way, as we talked about yesterday,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: and the way US defense contractors work and the way
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: they produce in order to meet the kind of chechallenges.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Production is unbelievably inefficient and takes way too long. Trump
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: is committed to doing that, at least verbally. Whether he
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: knows what that will actually mean, I do not know.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Let's see, before we get to Iran, and we'll get
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: there in a minute. Let me just see. Yeah, we'll
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: get to your on in a minute. But let's let's talk
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: quickly about Ukraine. You know, in terms of what's going
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: on in Ukraine, Trump has granted Ukraine a license finally
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: to produce their own patriot missile systems. And he said,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Trump said, typically this way, Zelenski can't complain we're not
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: giving them enough. I said, make them yourself. We haven't
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: informed the company of that yet, but that will work out,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: all right. I'm sure they will be thrilled. Actually, yours
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: defence contractors are not thrilled by sharing the trade secrets
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: if fuel with the UH with anybody, including the Ukrainians.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: But maybe Trump will actually twist a hand and get
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: it done. There was a question about how quickly you
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: can build a production facility in Ukraine to build patriot missiles.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: The war might be over. You know, my two gears
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: to get that done. But this is a good thing.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: This is what should have happened years ago, and uh,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: it's good. So the fact that they're giving them the
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: ability to build or license to build their own patriot
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: missiles is is good. Let's hope it can happen quickly.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: In the meantime, they continue to be pummeled by missiles
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: launched at them by the Russians. At some point in
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: meeting with Zelenski, this was really funny. Trump says, you know,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: he's trying to working a piece deal and he's talking
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: to Putin and maybe they can range. Putin would like
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Zelensky to come to Moscow. I'm sure Putin would love
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Zelynsky to come to Moscow. He'd never leave h And
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: so Trump says, you know, would you go to Moscow? Uh,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: you know, he looks at says when you go to Moscow?
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: And Zelensky had the the the perfect answers. Lelensky says,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: you know, it's difficult to go to Moscow these days
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: because of all those Ukrainian drones in the air attacking Moscow.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: It really is quite dangerous to go to Moscow. So
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: even Trump had to be entertained by that answer. So
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: you got to give Zelensky credit. I mean, the guy's
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: the guy's pretty amazing, and at the end of the
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: day he seems to have won over Trump. I mean Trump, look,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Trump likes likes strength, right, and he likes strength and
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: he likes, he likes success, and the reality is that
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: basically Trump is getting intelligence beefings basically telling him that
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: the Russian economy is doing awful and that the Ukrainians
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: are unbelievably effective at going after, you know, all the
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: refineries and and really damaging the oil the oil economy
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: in Russia. I read a story that said that the
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Russians are starting to ration diesel, the rationing diesel within
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Russia because they just can't find enough of it. And
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: the reason they can't find enough of it is because
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: they refineries keep going up in smoke because of Ukrainian
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: attacks and the idea that Russia is such a big
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: country that it has a Tigrea far away from the
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: battlefield that is untouchable. I mean, Ukraine again has shown
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: that's not the case. They have their own Ukrainian built
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Cus missiles, they have their drones that are reaching way
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: into the Asian part of Russia. So while Russia believed
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: it had territorial advantage, that territorial advantage is going away
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: because of Ukrainian's new equipment and their innovative use of it.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: And the fact is that Russia has no air defense
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: systems that can shoot down these drones and these Kusmo cells.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: So all the stuff about S four hundred and S
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: five hundred, a defense system that they've been marketing and
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: selling to the rest of the world. Well, we saw
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: how lousy they are in Iran, in Syria, and now
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: we're seeing it in Russia's health. They can't stop drones
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: and missiles from attacking in Moscow and St. Petersburg, and
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: never mind deep inside Russian territory. So uh, I think
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: part of the change is, yeah, Zellanskiss proved to be strong.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: He has some cards. It turns out he has some
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: cards all right. During during this Chipper and NATO, Trump
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: has also significantly changed his you know, basically what he's
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: saying about about Eon, his uh, you know, his attitude
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: towards you on as we know you. On the day
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: before yesterday bombed ships in the Strait of Homos. They
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: are actively trying to close the strait except for that
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: area where the ships have to pass through Iranian waters
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: and maybe pay them a toll. They want to establish
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: complete control over the strait, which is a clear violation
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: of the OU. So Trump yesterday said, he said, Nate
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: in the NATO, somebody says to me, I think it's over.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: I don't want to deal with them. They're sick people,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: they're vicious, violent people. It's just a waste of time
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: dealing with them, the liars. I have to laugh because
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: he didn't go to war with them, right and supposedly,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: and yet he's finally after months, coming to a little
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: bit of a realization how bad they are. We been
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: saying how bad they are, not just me, lots of
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: people being saying how bad they are for a long, long,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: long time. He also said today he said he thinks
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: of cease fire is over. He said the American forces
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: would probably launch strikes tonight. You know, you know, he says,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: as far as I'm concerned, it's over in terms of
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: the cease fire. The consequences of that were that oil
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: spiked up in price this morning as soon as you
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: know he said these woods, and then a stock market
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: went down quite a bit today. I haven't looked I
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: haven't looked this afternoon where the market landed up or
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: is landing up, but it went down a lot this morning.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Again in response to their response to this, yeah, I
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: mean the Dow is down a percent. NASDAK is flat
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Rustle two thousand is down a percent. Oil is up
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: four and a half percent. It was up close to
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: the five. Gold his way down, you know, bonds up again,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Dollars just getting stronger. Yeah, I mean, and bitcoin is
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: down to an eight percent so, and and fawn markets
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: all down because of the renewed, supposedly renewed war. But
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: he's also saying I don't want to go to war.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: He said, well, hit them again hard tonight. He says,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: I could take control of Corbog Island or no. And
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: then he says, frankly, I don't want to ways fight
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: time with him now. I'll let our wonderful negotiators keep
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: talking if they want. But I don't see it. I
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: don't like these people. I mean, look, that's that's what
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: you get with Trump. You know, you get to Trump
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: a kind of you like it, you don't like it.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: From day to day it changes. He's gonna attack again today,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: although they should be attacking now. It's already nighttime in
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: in Iran, so anytime now they should be renewing attacks.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that is happening, if that's happened
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: or not, but but yeah, you know, we will, we
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: will see, we will see. He doesn't want to fight
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: a war. He doesn't want to get into into a war.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Last night, Iran responded to the attacks that the United
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: States launched on its ports and military basis with attacks
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: on Bahrain, on military, on American military installations. It's hard
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: to tell how much damage they inflicted. And we'll see
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: what again, and we'll see what happens, what happens today,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: and whether this will continue to tretat, whether the United
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: States will do something stronger, well, the negotiators will start
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: all over again. I don't know. Trump did say they'll
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: never build a nuclear weapon under our deal, but I
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: don't know. If we're going to have a deal, we
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: may just do it without a deal, because you know
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: it's easier. These people they lie and they cheat and
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: you have an agreement. You know, this is the guy
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: who told us a deal was going to be struck
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: any minute now. We were this close, and the MoU
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: was the greatest deal ever, and you know, this was
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: regime changed, and these people were incredibly rational, incredibly rational.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Remember when he told us that they were incredibly I rational.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: I tell you good. I mean, I've never seen a
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: human being, never mind a president I've never seen a
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: human being contradict himself as many times and as quickly
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: without any memory and without any embarrassment about the contradiction
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: as Donald Trump has. It's just stunning. One day that
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: the most rational, nicest, most corpetive people in the world,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: and the other day they're all lie, cheating people that
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: you can't you can't do anything with. And anyway, the
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Ranians have responded and they basically said that they slum
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: about agreement and the MoU are now officially dead. And
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: you know, they now have a quote clearer mandate to
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: confront the Americans, the Israelis and the proxies in the
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: region and the world. Now again, the Ranians are liars.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: They are liars. Just it's just like Trump, There's no
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: truth to what they say. So who knows? Who knows.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: At some point during their conversation with Zelenski, Trump was
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: asked about who they would target, and Trump said, oh,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: we might hit their electricity hubs or the dissalination plants.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: But he said that so many times before, why would
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: anybody believe him? He just rambles, just rambles. You know,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: remember when Vance told us that the people who was
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: dealing with in Iran now realized that they needed to
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: work with the United States, and they wanted to cooperate
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: with the United States, and they were very much going
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: to be due business and the MoU is going to
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: get done. Do you remember all of that. I mean,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: my guess is that Trump is going to throw vans
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: under the bus. We'll see, But now you know, now
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: there's come, there's sick people. They're led by six people.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: They're vicious, violent people. As five as I'm concerned, it's
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: just a waste of time dealing with them. The liars,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: there's something wrong with them, the cuckoo. As far as
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: I'm concerned, it's over. That is that is Trump, but
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: he could change his mind tomorrow. A very few ships
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: exit the Homo Straits. Is also rumors that, or stories
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: that the United States is gonna re establish the bocade
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: of Iranian shipping. Stopping Iranian Iranian vessels from leaving Iranian
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: ports and vessels from entering Iranian ports should have been
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: done from day one. They should have never stopped doing that,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: but they did. So it'll be interesting to see if
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: that actually goes in place tonight or tomorrow. So lots
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: and lots of stories coming out lots and lots of threats,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: as always very little content that we can actually that
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: we know, and and completely uncertainly about what's actually going
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: to happen, because it's all in Trump's mood. It's all
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: a question of who we talked to last and what
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: he feels. It's all a feeling. There's no reason, there's
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: no thought, there's certainly no strategy behind what he's doing.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Let me give you one more example. We've talked about
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: the closest that Trump has with how close he is
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: to ed One Urdigan, the president of Turkey, and how
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: friendly he is, and that he wants to sell him
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: F thirty fives. I think he needs congressional approval for that,
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: and I don't think he'll get it, but he wants
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: to sell them F thirty fives and all of that. Well,
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: it turns out, according to Trump, not according to me,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: according to Trump, that Urtigan actually was considering joining the
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Ranian regime in fighting against Israel and the United States.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: This is Trump saying this, and that Trump talked him
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: out of it. So he's a leader who's won it
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: to fight the United States and to fight Israel and
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: had to be talked out of it, and now we
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: want to strengthen him, give him more weapons, and give
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: him some of the most advanced weapons we have, like
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: f thirty fives. You can't make this stuff up in
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: terms of how crazy and ludicrous and it's just insane.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: It really is, all right. Iran has said tonight that
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: if the United States attacks again, it would withdraw from
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: the Non Proliferation Treaty, which I think is already withdrawn from,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: so I'm not sure what relevance that has. It would
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: draw from the Non Proliferation Treaty and completely change its
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: nuclear doctrine and fully close both the Bob M. Mundab
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: and the Straits of Homos and the Strait of HOMOSU.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: And you know that's what they'll do. So they're threatening,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: just like Trump's saying, we'll go after your desalination, will
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: go after this, We'll go after that. They're threatening the
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: same thing, and they're going to go full on for
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: nuclear weapons. And Ewanols says they have lots of options
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: that they didn't use in the recent forty Day War
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: that they will now use. YEP. Anyway, that is where
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: we are keep monitoring it because this could certainly become
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: become the it could become it could reignite this war,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: at least a piece of it. You know. Again, Trump
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: doesn't want the war, so he might back out of
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: it younilaterally. But it's hard to tell way exactly this
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: is going. And I'll keep an eye out for you
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: and I'll let you know as I learn what is happening.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: All right, let's see. Yeah, all right, that is interesting. Yep,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: all right, um actually run okay a freedom fuel. Did
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: you hear about this story about freedom fuel? It's it's
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: it's pretty uh, pretty amazing. What is said? Let me
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: find where is that? Hmmm, where's the freedom fuel article? Ahead?
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: That's not it, that's weird. They all disappeared, right, give
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: me a second, let me let me let me pull
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: this up. But basically, the Trump administration today announced the
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: opening of a new gas of gas stations under something
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: called the Freedom Fuel a banner and uh, implying kind
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: of that this was u that this was you know,
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: a government program. No, that's not it. I opened that
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: and it's something else. That's weird, all right. They don't
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: want that. I want this and I want that. Yeah,
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: So they launched something called Fina Fuel Debut in the
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia area where gas would be significantly or it turns
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: out not so significantly cheaper than the rest of the
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: country four point you know, a few tens of sense
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: cheaper than the national average. Let's see, the fin of
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: Fuel network has regular gas for three point seven dollars
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: a gallon, which is quite a bit cheaper than other
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: gas stations in the Philadelphia area. And when it first
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: came out, it sounded like these were government run gas
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: stations and the US government was opening stations and selling
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: gasoline at lower prices than everybody else. And I mean
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: it seemed like insanity when it first the story was
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: first released. Now luckily that is not the case. So
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: I just if you've heard of these, you know, freedom
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: fuel things. So the White House announced, right it launched
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: twenty five Freedom Fuel gas stations in the Philadelphia region.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: And the first idea was, oh, the government is now
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: owning gas stations and they want to make fun of
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: Mumdanie's grocery stores. But it turned out it turned out
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: that it's not the government owning these stations. It's not
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: clear what exactly is going on here. It's not clear
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: who owns them and why they're selling it for cheap
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: earned what it's actually is going on? But White White
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: House spokesman has said the Freedom Fuel Network is a
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: private company and not a government program, adding that the
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: company has not purchased gasoline at a discount and that
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: the administration has not provided funding. Who I was, I was?
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: I was sure we were this close to socialism. The
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: spoken said the business was simply making gas more affordable
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: for drivers in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, but did not elaborate.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: In other words, the company is taking a loss. Is
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: that real? Do we really believe that? Not clear exactly
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: what's going on there, but but that was the story
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: that and it was fear early on that this was
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: all this was a huge government intervention into the gasoline market.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: Hasn't happened yet, wouldn't be surprised if it happens. And
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the background is for that deal,
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: and and and what the consequence of the deal. Of
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: an interesting ruling by a federal court. I think this
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: was yesterday federal court declaring that the Woke Act this
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: is a Florida state a law that was past that
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: prohibits the advocacy of certain ideas at universities in Florida,
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: and indeed generally and I think educational institutions in Florida.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: And on the basis of the First Amendment, a federal
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: court ruled that it is unconstitutional. Let me let me
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: read you. Let me read you from his decision. The
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: First Amendment, incorporated against the States in eighteen sixty eight,
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: is this country's written commitment to the idea the federal
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: speech is essential to freedom of thought, and that both
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: essential to maintaining our The Supreme Court has long been
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: clear the teaching and scholarship are due to some measure
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: of protection under the Amendment. But how much and in
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: what contexts the Court has had has not had to say.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: But this one is now put to the test. The
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: state of Florida legislated a broad set of speech restrictions
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: banning certain viewpoints related to race, color, sex, and national
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: origin in various settings. The provision at issue here bossed
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: florida as educators from promoting or endorsing those disfavored ideas
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: when instructing students. Its prohibition applies not only in primary
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: and secondary education, where states traditionally exercise a great deal
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: of control, but also in public colleges and universities, where
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: the state government's role has been far more limited. When
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: several groups of professors challenged Florida's new restrictions, the state
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: cast about for an existing case or doctrine that could
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: support its speech ban in the university setting. Finding none,
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: it tried to marry public employee speech cases with government
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: speech doctrine, resulting in a new rule. If the government
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: pays a professor's salary, it has total control over her
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: classroom's speech. This is not a blessed union, the judge continues.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: Florida's salary's speech rule is a breathtaking assertion of power
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: to ban on popular ideas from public discourse in the
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: very places the state's own statues recognize as censures of
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: inquiry classrooms who are students trusted to puzzle through ideas
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: that are good and bad, easy and hard, ideally getting
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: even ever closer to the truth. The new war also
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: runs headlong into the Supreme courts repeated if im precise
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: endorsements of academic freedom. If the First Amendment offers any
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: boundary or protection at all for public university classrooms, this
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: statue crosses it. Nor does this court. Leading quotes leading
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: academic speech precedent Bishop versus avnov I guess demand the
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: outcome thought seeks in fact that counsels the opposite. The
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: restriction in that case was imposed by one university against
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: one professor willing to speech about one thing, personal religious
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: views that got in the way of the courses well
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: understood parameters. The precedent makes clear that universities and even
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: other government entities have crucial authority to shape curricula, content,
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: discipline teachers, and take other steps to guide and govern
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: post education secondary education. But the speech ban Florida's political
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: leaders seek to impose you is different in both nature
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: and degree from those ordinary concerns. The rule Florida developed
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: for this place does not withstand scrutiny. The idea. The
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: ideas Florida targets may well be noxious or maybe not.
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: Either way. In this context, the First Amendment trusts students
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: to figure it out for themselves. We affirm the District
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: Court's preliminary injunction. Now, of course, this is an interesting
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: case because the fact that university is a public the
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: fact that the government funds universities makes it a difficult issue.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: Who gets to decide, how do you decide what is
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: allowed and what is not allowed. So least some speech
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: is not allowed, and this Court and the Supreme Court
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: leave it to the universe needs to be able to
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: decide those things. And the fact that the states have
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: so much say in secondary education and primary education, what
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: about that in high schools and primary schools? What about that?
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: This is really really, really problematic. And of course the
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: only solution to this is the privatization of education. Private
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: education then makes it so that there is no violation
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: of free speech. Because private employers can restrict the speech
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: and private property of the people working for their company,
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: they can decide on the standards. This is the same
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: as the problem you have in public schools with should
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: they teach evolution or should they teach creationism? Should they
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: teach something that offends these parents or something that defends
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: those parents, or should the standard be the truth determined
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: by whom? And there's no right answer here, There's no
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: right answer. Ultimately, the solution needs to be privatization now
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: if there is. In the meantime, the best answer is
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: to leave this out to the university, the particular university,
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: not to the state. I think the state should stay
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: out of it. Particular universities, you know, can make your
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: decisions as if they were private. I like, I think
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: the best way to run in a mixed economy, the
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: best way for us to advocate for I mean to
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: advocate for privatization, but in the meantime is to argue
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: that these public, government owned, the government run institutions should
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: act as if they were private and there for the
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: management of these institutions should decide on these kind of issues,
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: what classes could be taught, what classes would not be taught,
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: and so on. So I think, you know, I'm glad
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: for the ruling because again, I don't think the state
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: should have these kind of sweeping legislation to try to
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: ban a particular set of views. I mean, imagine if
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: if every time a governor shifted, they switched which views
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: were going to be banned at any particular university at
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: the entire university system. If we're talking about university and curriculum,
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: I do want to read you this. This is from
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: blog post by Adam Singer, who is I guess as
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: reviewing the curriculum for Stanford's new freshmen, right and and
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: you know, reviewing the curriculum for their courses and I'm
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: going to read you from his from some from his
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: blog post A couple of a couple of a couple
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: of things. He writes, I've been writing about the rotten
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: higher education for a while now. In half of social
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: science falls apart under scrutiny, I guess this is audically, wrote,
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: I covered how a massive seven year Darker funded study
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: found only half of social science papers hold up when tested,
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: a consequence of the ideological monoculture I document. In other
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: stuff he's written, I argued, you know, in we stopped
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: teaching the story of prosperity, I argued, universities have quietly
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: abandoned the intellectual tradition that built the modern world. That's
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: absolutely true. And in the end of America's Marxist era,
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: I traced how postmodern Marxist ideology, dressed up in corporate
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: approval approved buzzwords, embedded itself in American institutions. We've debated
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: to discuss these previous topics, but taken together, there's a
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: clear story. Our universities are ideologically captured. And if you
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: want still, if you still want to debate, it's not
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: a big deal. At the very least, you can acknowledge
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: universities that failed to provide a bulwark in the border
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: culture against things we're seeing play out now. For example, Stanford,
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: he writes in our latest piece of evidence, Stanford goes
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: and votes nearly unanimously to expand a mandatory freshman curriculum
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: that perfectly illustrates everything I've been describing today. I want
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: to go into that briefly, says, and hope people will
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: read with an open mind, and you can read some
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: of it, but here's just a segment of this. It
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: truly is incredible that Stanford is charging students and their
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: families a staggering amount of money for mandatory introduction to
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: the life of the mind. That's the name of the course,
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: and the architects of that very tradition are essentially absent
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: from it. What fills the space instead, And what he's
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: saying is the thinkers that talk about the life of
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: mind in the Western tradition then are discussed what fills
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: the space instead. Students are introduced to two flavors of determinism.
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: Biological Seppolski argues free will is an illusion and social
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: Lowry argues the self is a social construction and to
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: a sustained critique of Western education as an instrument of
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: power and oppression. That's the philosophical ritation Stanford has chosen
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: to hand to eighteen year olds in their first weeks
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: on campus in a course called The Life of the Mind.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: I continue reading from his post. The epistemology section is
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: quite revealing. Week seven of the course a science fifty
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: pages arguing that Western scientific epistemology should be supplemented or
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: corrected by quote indigenous ways of knowing at the university
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: responsible for this is at the university responsible for a
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: quarter of all Nobel Prizes in physics awarded to American
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: institutions in the last half century. Like Stanford, the bastand
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: of science and engineering and technology, they're teaching that we
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: need to we need to supplement and correct Western scientific
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: epistemology with genous way of thinking, in other words, with feelings,
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: with emotion, with mumbo jumbo revelations. The students arriving at
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: this university continues, many of them on their way to
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: becoming the scientists who will extend the tradition being questioned,
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: are introduced to that tradition primarily through its critics. This
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: is a university that has been ideologically captured. Again, this
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: is Stanford, not some state college, not some second third,
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: fourth rate university. One of the best universities in the world. Again,
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: a bastian of science and technology and innovation. How many
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: of silicon values best ideas have come out of Stanford,
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: many of them. And now they teaching the fresh one.
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: They should really be considering indigenous a way of indigenous
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: way of ways of knowing. I mean, how many, how
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: many innovations? How much science have indigenous ways of knowing produced? Well,
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: we know exactly zero. They actually make it impossible to
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: achieve science. They elevate feelings, emotion, superstitions about reason. It's
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: just mind blowing. How bad the state of our universities
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: has gotten. It really is. It really is horrific. The
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: left dominates these universities, postmodern left dominates them and is
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: destroying the minds of these students. Truly horrific. And maybe
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: it's time for fewer students to go to these universities.
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: Because if there is a job shortage right now in
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: the United States, the biggest job shortage we have is
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: in high skilled is where it's in uh, you know,
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: high skilled workers. There's a nationwide shortage of high skilled
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: workers that are making constructing billions of dollars of new
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: semiconductor plants and data centers, putting in them at risk.
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, we need engineers, and where we're going to
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: get engineers? Well from Stanford. How many people are going
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: to go into engineering if they're taught the engineering is
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: just equivalent of the same as no different time, or
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: they should incorporate it into their engineering. They should try
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: to figure out how to do a two nanomina chip
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: using indigenous ways of knowing. According to I think this
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: is Bloomberg. The death of talent risks stalling plans by
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: TSMC to invest as much as estimated two hundred and
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: sixty five billion dollars in a dozen chip making and
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: packaging facilities in Arizona, as well as Micron Technologies vision
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: to spend one hundred billion on memoryship production in New
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: York and Samsung Electronics logic ship facility in Texas. Even
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: Intel Corps delayed twenty eight billion investment in Ohio is
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: set for shortages once production ramps up. The short engineers.
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: They need one hundred and four thousand, three hundred engineers.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: They only have sixteen thousand, three hundred available the short
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: seventy two thousand, four hundred technicians. They only have eighty
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: nine hundred available. They need eleven thousand, eight hundred computer scientists,
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: they only have access to five thy eight hundred. The
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: workforce challenges marks the latest hurdle for chip makers seeking
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: to expand their manufacturing footprint in the United States and
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: reverse the migration of production capacity in Asia. I bet you,
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: I bet you. I can guarantee this, even though I
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: don't know it firsthand. But I'm speculating. But I'm I'm
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: really convinced that this speculation is true. That in China,
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: nobody in the Chinese schools of engineering is teaching indigenous
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: ways of knowing and undermining the epistemology necessary for engineering.
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: I think that's a good that's a good assumption, and
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: I'm sure, pretty sure that's t're in India. I'm not
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: going convinced about Europe. Europe could go either way. We
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: are uniquely crazy, We're uniquely insane, we're uniquely hateful of
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: Western civilization. I mean, China, which you're trying to catch
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: up with the West, which you know fell behind the
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: West for centuries, is adopting West in epistemology, just as
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: we in the West, we in the West banding that epistemology.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: Ian says, but they're teaching Communist Party doctrine. Yeah, they
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: teach it unseeriously in a side class, and I'm sure
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: they're in the stuff they're teaching. It has nothing to
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: do with indigenous ways of knowing as it regards science
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: and engineering. And the reality is they're producing hundreds of thousands,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: if now millions of engineers every year, and they do
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: not have a shortage of engineers and computer sciences like
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: we do, and their equality is increasing. I mean the
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: threat that Chinese innovation is sending their students to come
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: and study in the United States and Stanford. But the
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: good thing about Chinese is they probably sit in on
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: those classes and just ignore the BS. Just ignore the BS. Yeah. So,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: massive worker shortages, massive shortages of engineers, computer scientists. We've
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: been talking about this since since the Chip Act. This
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: is years now that I've been talking about it, what
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: four years since twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three, when
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: Biden passed the Chip Act and TSMC was coming to
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: the United States to build chip factories, and I was
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: like going and who's going to work there, Where's where's
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: the skilled labor that's going to work there? Where the
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: experts who know how to do this? They don't exist,
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: and we're not training enough of them. All Right, some
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: some achievement positive stories with that part of the show.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: So let me let me read you from an article
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: written by Cliff Astnes, who's a hedge fund manager, one
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: of the most successful ever, and Michael Strain, who is
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: at the American Enterprise Institute, an economist, and I just
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: want to read you a section of of what they
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: wrote in an article called have you heard the good
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: News question? Mark wages for typical American workers have never
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: been higher. According to our calculations digesting for inflation, the
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: wages of non supervisory workers, roughly the bottom eighty percent
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: of workers by pay, including manufacturing workers and service sector
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: workers who are not managers, have grown by about sixty
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: percent over the past two generations. This is in real terms.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: Over the past three decades, inflation adjusted wages for typical
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: workers have grown by forty four percent. Wages are the
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: most important components of the flow of financial resources households
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: can use for consumption as savings. Because households receive resources
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: from other sources as well, including government transfer payments, social
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: insurance receipts, and businesses. Overall, household income tells the same
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: story as wages. Real household income has never been higher
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: than it is today, and not just for families at
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: the very top. According to Congressional Budget Office, families in
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: the fifty first and ninetieth percentiles of wealth distribution had
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: an average wealth one point three million in twenty twenty two.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: This is between the fifty first to ninetieth the most
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: recent data available of twenty twenty two. It's much higher
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: today given the stock market that's up from around five
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand in nineteen ninety after adjusting for inflation. Consumption
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: isn't even better indicator of prosperity than income or wealth.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: It's how much we all actually get to enjoy life.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: Economically speaking, spending on personal consumption is at a record
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: level now. It might be fair to argue that this
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: consumption is a big part of the looming debt problem
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: America must eventually reckon with, but that would be a
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: howler of an argument from either end of the political horseshoe,
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: as both the progressive left and maga right seemed to
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: be big fans of ignoring this issue the debt. When
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: assessing the best time to be alive, it's important to
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: give special attention to low income Americans. The CBO income
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: data shows that inflation adjusted post tax and transfer income
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: for the bottom twenty percent of households more than doubled
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: from nineteen ninety to twenty twenty one. Real income grew
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: more for low income households than for the median household.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: The inflation adjusted wealth of families in the bottom twenty
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: five percent was also at an all time high in
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. These families, so they average real wealth
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: triple from nineteen ninety to twenty twenty two. Again, you
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: can always claim it should have been even better. I mean,
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: we'd claim that, as we have our own preferred policies
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: and political philosophy that we think would have worked better.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: But you cannot claim things on much worse now than
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: in some mythical past. In the nineteen sixties, the poverty
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: rate was above twenty percent. Using the government's official poverty measure,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: poverty has fallen into eleven point one percent as of
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. This measure this measures poverty on a
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: relative basis. Of course, a relative standard will always find
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: relative poverty, but using an absolute standard finds that income
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: poverty is below six percent. On a consumption basis. Well
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: over twenty percent of households were in poverty in the
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: nineteen sixties and eleven percent where poverty in the nineteen ninety. Today,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: the consumption poverty rate is around one percent. That's measuring
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: and so what you consume, whether that categorizes you as
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: poor or not, but one percent. In the United States,
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: they say men, man does not continue. Man does not
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: live by better alone but boughtom measures a quality of
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: life support the claim that there has never been a
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: better time to be alive than the present, for instance,
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: horrific news stories aside, the rate of iolent crime in
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: the United States has been cut in half in the
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: past three decades. Yes, life expectancy dipped in twenty twenty
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: and twenty twenty one, but after the two year dip,
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: life expectancy is rising again. According to the CDC, life
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: expectancy at birth increased by one point one years in
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, increased by an additional point nine in
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, and I think it's gone up in
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: twenty four and twenty five. Let's see life expectancy at
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: birth is higher in the US than it is in Europe. Really,
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: life expectancy at birth is higher in the US than
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: it is in Europe, than America, is, Asia and Africa,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: higher than continents as a whole, though some of the
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: highest income countries do exceed the United States. But then again,
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: the US doesn't get to exclude its poorest performing states. Okay,
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize that. So life expectancy in the United
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: States is actually higher than Europe as a whole, just
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: lower than rich countries in Europe. Okay. Interesting. More examples
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: of massive improvements in broader quality of life abound. By
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, ninety five percent of US households had
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: a computer. Nine out of ten had a broadband Internet subscription,
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: providing historically unparalleled access to information and entertainment. The average
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: American workout with five years of experience, received twenty two
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: days of paid time off per year. Compaid was sixteen
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: days in nineteen seventy. From nineteen eighty to twenty thirteen,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: air passengers for fatalities fell from one hundred per hundred
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: mill one hundred per hundred billion passenger miles to less
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: than one. The mentality rate from heart disease fell from
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: five hundred people p one hundred thousand in nineteen seventy
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: to two hundred and eleven per hundred thousand in twenty
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: twenty two. And they go on about how things are
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: getting even better, even better, and yeah, so there's a
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: lot of good news on those kind of funds, right.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: You know, there's a chart here that was published. Americans
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: earned forty six times more than two hundred and fifty
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: years ago. And I think I told you that if
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: you project that into the future, the same growth rate
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: that we've had over the last two hundred fifty years,
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: if we have that in the next two hundred and
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: fifty years, we will be earning the median income will
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: be fourteen million dollars. Make us all very very rich.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: Another way to think about improvement is how much energy
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: we use to produce a unit of stuff. Right, So,
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: for example, in nineteen fifty, it took over thirteen thousand
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: BTUs to produce a real inflation adjusted dollar of GDP.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: So produce a dollar of GDP thirteen thousand BTUs today
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: to produce an equivalent dollar today of GDP of production
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: takes four thousand BTUs. That's a seventy percent reduction. We
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: produce the same, you know, the same thing to produce
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: today requires you know, basically produced today requires seventy percent
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: less energy, which is massive an example of just how
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: how things have gotten better even when it comes you know,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: those shots they show you of everything, of the prices
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: of everything, and all the stuff the governments is involved
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: in is way going up, up, up, up, like healthcare
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: costs and tuition and stuff like that, medical care, services, daycare,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: anything the government is really really involved in, just up up,
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: everything is up and computers TVs down. Anyway, if you
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: look at an updated update of that in real terms, right,
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: real terms, it turns out that starting in twenty twenty,
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: the cost of services, many of which were the most expensive,
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: have been declining. College tuition, medical care, and daycare. Their
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: price is still increasing, but they're increasing at a slower
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: rate than overall price inflation the CPI, So some of
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: these graphs are actually tilting down, which is pretty amazing. Again,
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: probably a consequence of increased productivity in those areas, right
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: all right, Finally, a story out of Google, not out
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: of Google, What am I talking about out of SpaceX.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: SpaceX has officially requested FCC approval to launch and operate
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: a third generation satellite constellation of one hundred thousand satellites
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: designed to power human connection and AI fueled progress. This
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: is the quote from the request. The Artificial Intelligence Revolution
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: promises a supersonic tsunami of progress with a capability to
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: deliver transformative prosperity to billions and carry the light of
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: human consciousness far into the future. The Gen three system
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: will include one hundred thousand satellites operating in very low
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: Earth orbit to deliver extremely low latency and multi gigabyte
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: systematic throughputs for consumers, enterprises, and government users, and billions
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: of AI powered devices around the world. To achieve this
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: ambition goal ambitsiness goal, the Gen three systems will put
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: new spectrum and sharing frameworks to work for American consumers.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: AI requires massive uplink capability to support high definition one
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand satellites, which will be configured in two bands
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: of thin, closely stacked operational shells with nominal altitudes between
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: three hundred and twenty three and three hundred and twenty
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: seven and a half kilometers and four hundred and seventy
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: three and four undred and seventy seven and a half kilometers.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: SpaceX seeks flexibility to operate its gen fee systems with
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: inclinations in terms of the degrees optimize coverage for sun
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: and solar solar energy. This pretty pretty amazing. This is
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: separate then a SpaceX previous application to operate a constellation
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: of up to one million AI satellites. This is kind
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: of there would be a next generation step above that.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: So amazing stuff in the tech space, uh, and in
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: the in in in the progress space keeps happening, keeps happening,
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: and that is cool, all right. We uh, let's see,
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: we are a little behind on the on the uh
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: fundraising for the show, so just to remind you that,
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: well that's the news. So this Wednesday, July eighth, so
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: we're a little behind on the super chats and the
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: and the and the stickers. We are at two hundred
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: and thirty out of the two hundred and fifty that
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: we need for the first hour. Of course, we are
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: into the second hour already, so we really all target
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: is five hundred, so we really should be we need
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: we need in order to fulfill all this we need
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: an extra two hundred and seventy, So hopefully there are
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: more questions in the pipeline and more people interested in
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: doing stickers in order to support the show. That would
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: be greatly appreciated. In the meantime, let me thank Mary
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: Ellen and Rob It and who else did they see
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: with a sticker and exit and Roland for the stickers.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, thank you. Some fifty dollars one
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars stickers would go a long way to getting
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: us to our targets. So I want to remind you
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: of our fundraiser that we're raising money for making three
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: documentary movies, one about kind of my embrace of objectivism
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: and My Path through Objectivism, one on capitalism and London,
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: one on Western civilization. All will be filmed in London
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: and with a professional, professional crew, and they will be
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: edited professionally, and they will be distributed and marketed and
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: we're really trying for tens of thousands, if not hundreds
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: of thousands of views, and hopefully these are kind of
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: the videos that can really boost the number of people
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: subscribing to this channel, which is part of our goal.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: By the way, subscriptions to the channel have been going
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: gangbusters the last few days, the last ten to twelve days,
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: we've seen a thousand people join, about one thousand, so
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: hopefully that continues. I'm not sure exactly what's driving it.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: I think it's a Peterson Academy, but I'm not sure,
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: but I'll take it. It's fantastic, so it really is cool. Anyway,
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: we're raising money for this filming project. I'm going to
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: go to London for a few days in middle of
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: September and film this and we're gonna do filming in
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: a studio and filming outdoors on location in different areas
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: in London. We've already raised over half the money, so
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: we raised about eight thousand, maybe close to nine thousand
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: of the fifteen thousand that we're seeking to raise. So
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: the fundraising is going phenomenally well. So thank you to
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: everybody who has responded already and is making this more
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: and more likely to actually happen. I'm eager to just
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: get this over with so we know it's done and
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: it's happening, but hopefully, hopefully we will we will be
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: able to get that number up there in the next
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: few days. So if you're considering doing it, please do it. Soon.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: If you have the money and if you can afford
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: to do like a thousand, one thousand dollars one that
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: really helps. You know, if somebody can do five thousand dollars,
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: that will really get us a much faster, so that'd
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: be great. We've got a several one thousand dollar contributions.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: Really this is being driven by people giving five hundred
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: and one thousand dollars, So thank you to all of
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: you a few more so that we can get to
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: the fifteen thousand and shut and and shut it down
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: and actually get to starting to plan and uh and
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: write the scripts and get this all ready to go.

• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: hundred Canadian dollars from aj the Dragon cartographer. Dragon cartographer.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: That's an interesting profession, but that's cool, A just says.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: Another contribution of d balloons. Luckily, it's not do balloons.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: It's actually dollars from my treasury to the Noble Stupidity
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: Eradication Initiative. Yeah, if it was only stupidity we had
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: to eradicate, our job would be easy. It's what makes
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: the job really really hard is we're trying to eradicate
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: bad ideas philosophy, challenge prevailing philosophical ideas that people have.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: That that is super challenging, super challenging. So yeah, thank you,
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: really really appreciate the support. AJA, thank you. Okay, James
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: one hundred dollars, fifty dollars, James, fifty American dollars. Collectivism,
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: to any degree is a total endorsement of slavery. When
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: collectivist collectivism treats altruism like them, all duty property like
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: AI ceases to be private right and becomes a social resource,
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: individual rights become social permissions. Yes, collectivism rejects individual rights.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: Individual rights don't exist, or they either don't exist completely
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: nonsense on stilts has been them said, or they're watered down.
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: Everything is a right. You have a right to everything,
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: food and water, and to be treated nicely by your
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: local dentists and animals have rights like like declaration of
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: rights by their EU, which has like five hundred different
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: rights listed, which is absurd. But yes, collectivism rejects rights
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: and works not just reject rights, but by its very
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: nature is a violation of rights because you, as an
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: individual don't matter. What matters is the group. You as
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: an individual must be sacrificed to the group. That's good morality,
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: that's good politics, that's good collectivism. And they have to
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: be out to us because you know, they can only
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: morally justified. They can only morally justified under the assumption
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: that your life is not yours. Your life doesn't matter,
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: that your life is to be sacrificed. Your maral duty
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: is to sacrifice for others, not you have age algorithm.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: If you had to make a prediction, how luzza fit is?
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: Howes if it is America one hundred years from now,
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: Western Europe, the world in general, oh god, one hundred
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: years from now. I think America and really Western Europe
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: and the world following up on that, moving towards greater
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: economic freedom. So I think between now and then we
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: will go through a period of less economic freedom, and
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: that'll be followed. Why at some point a period of
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: reversal where we start gaining economic freedom. I think one
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: hundred years from now we will be freer than we
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: are today. I'm not sure what predictions of one hundred
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: years are worth, Probably not much, but you asked for it, Liam.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: Many patients out there couldn't care less about their children. Sorry,
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: many parents out there, it says patients. I think many
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: parents out there couldn't care less about their children, have
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: no contact with them as adults. Why bother having them
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: if that's going to be your attitude for secondhanded reasons.
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: The status of having a family, well, I mean a
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: lot of people have children because that's what you do.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: You have children. It's expected, it's the purpose of life
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: to procreate and to have more children. So some parents
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: do that. Look, some parents don't have any contact with
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: their children as adults because they don't like their children.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: Like you have no control over how your children will
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: turn out. You have some control, We're not much. Your
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: children ultimately will shape their own lives, and some of
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: them will become bad people, and you might not want
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: to have any relationship with them. So I don't consider
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: that an issue, having no contact with them as adults.
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: And I don't know how many parents don't have any
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: contact with their children as adults. And I don't know
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: how many parents don't really care about their children. You
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: say many, I don't know many. Maybe I know some,
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: but not many. But I think a lot of it
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: is that's what they have been taught all their life.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: To be an adult means to have a family, get married,
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: have a family, and have kids, have a house with
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: a backyard and a station wagon. That's what life means.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: And they're are firsthand enough to shape life around their
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: own values. They're second handed. They've adapted the values from
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: the culture. Nrick, thank you for the stick of TM.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: I'm ex Muslim. How did you overcome pork fear? I
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: never had pork fear. I don't know how. I don't
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: know why there would be pork fear. You take a
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: bite of good, well made pork and you go delicious,
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: Bring me more, or have it in if you have fear,
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: have it in a stew where you can't tell it's pork,
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: like a Chinese dish or something full of a flavor,
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: spicy and stuff, and you know, you just eat it
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: and you don't die from it, so you keep going.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 1: So you know, I've never had pork fear as raised Jewish.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: I don't remember when I had my first pork, but
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: it wasn't a particular event for me because I became
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: an atheist to get at age six or seven, So
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: none of these things were important to me. Even though
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: my family never ate pork and we certainly did have
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: poke at home, it never bothered me if I ate
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: pok or had pork, I had a ham sandwich. I
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: probably had poke when I was a teenager and lived
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: in the US, probably had a ham sandwich, probably had
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: maybe had even poked a Chinese restaurant. I think when
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: once or twice a Chinese restaurant, you know, I don't know. Yeah.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: So while polk was not served at home and my
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: mother kept kosher, so we had separate plates and all
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: this nonsense, I never bothered about it. I never cared
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: about it. Tim. If Cuba reforms, would you visit or
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: invest in? What depends how much they reform. I would
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: only visit, and I wouldn't invest there. But I would
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: only visit if my sense was that the people benefiting
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 1: from trading with me were private individuals that I traded
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: with and not the government. The government benefits a little bit,
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: but if they just like in China, I went because
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: I was comfortable that people actually made a living from
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: my transacting with them. It didn't all flow to the
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: government and then get to redistributed. If I get a
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: sense that that's the way Cuba is, I wouldn't mind visiting.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: Tim Do you find Dubai architecturally impressive, Yes, definitely beautiful,
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: beautiful buildings, impressive, massive skyscrapers, and many of them really beautiful.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: I think the best architects in the world are in
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: working places like Dubai and in China. Unfortunately a few
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: of them work in the United States. The projects are
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: not big enough for skyscrapers, I mean for skyscrapers. Robert says,
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: busy since Oakon haven't been able to listen live. But
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: your oakonn closing talk was excellent. Didn't you say the
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: same thing yesterday? Thank you. I appreciate having it repeated.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: It's on YouTube and as a must see if anyone
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: missed it. Thank you Robert for saying that all again.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: Let me just say that talk will go up on
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: my channel in the next few days, so I will
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: definitely be releasing the talk very soon so you can
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: enjoy it. On my channel, not just on the Iron
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: Institute channel. Michael says, is China not capitalist enough to
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: overtake the United States in AI progress? Yeah? I think
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: that's right. It might all of a sudden periods of time,
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: but I think in the long run it won't. But
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: they're making a lot of progress. They're making a lot
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: of progress. There's enough freedom there to keep up with it. Robert,
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: Will Gaza ever surrender? Will Iran will rush? Which rush
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: rush limbeu? What would it take to end these conflicts?
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: Will the US or anyone else ever do what it takes? Yeah?
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: What it takes is to defeat the enemy, is to
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: crush them, to bring them, cause them to submit. Well, Russia, oh, Russia, Uh,
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: not rush Limbaugh or rush the Rock Group, but Russia, Uh,
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: Russia will not surrender because you know, they might have
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: regime change internally, but they won't literally surrender because nobody's
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: going to invade Russia. Gaza will only surrender if Israel
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: actually occupies it, and Iran will only surrender if it
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: is thoroughly decimated. And the United States and Israel do
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: not show the will to do either one of those things.
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: Either one of those things it's all possible. It's doable.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: You can get them to surrender, but you have to
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: have the will. We've got the means, but we don't
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: have the will. Have the Ranians compromise Trump. I'm not
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: sure what that means. Do they have something on him?
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think so. I think Trump is
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: just being Trump, being an emotionalist, which is what he is,
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: being a thug, an emotionalless thug time. According to Jonathan
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: Swan's book, everyone in Trump administration, including Rubio, was skeptical
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: of war with Iran. Only Trump backed it. It's not
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: my understanding. My understanding the Rubio and Hexseth supported the war.
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: But I don't know. I don't have insight info. I'm
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: not sure why Trump pets supported independent of all those people,
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: when maybe it's quite possible. Time is the GUOP hostility
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: towards Somali's justified? I mean partially. Somali's in Minnesota are
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: much more likely to commit crime than other immigrant groups
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: and other residents of certainly other residents of Minnesota. Somali's
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: committed a lot of fraud, and the one representative in
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 1: Congress is awful. A real America hating leftist, So yeah,
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: there's some justification for it. I mean, it's always dangerous
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: to generalize. I'm sure there are a lot of amazing
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: Somalis living in Minnesota and elsewhere around the country. We've
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: done spectacularly well in achieving the American dream and have
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 1: assimilated into the into the country. But there are there's
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: two high of a percentage that have not telling them.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: How dangerous to Stephen Miller's influence. Very dangerous. I think
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: he's behind the scenes with a lot of the stuff,
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: particularly with relating to immigration with Ice, so in that sense,
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: very dangerous. He definitely and if elections get overturned or
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 1: elect actions a question, Stephen Miller will Steven Miller would
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: be at the forefront of that time. God Said says
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: suicidal empathy is rooted in evolutionary psychology, not ideas. Do
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: you disagree. I'd love to see both discussions. Yeah, I mean,
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: I don't buy evolution of psychology. I think it's mostly
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 1: mumbo jumbo, mostly just so stories, uh, stories told after
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: the fact explain stuff. It's not science, it's not really science.
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: I think I think there's no question suicide empathy is
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: rooted in ideas, it's it's rooted in altruistic ideas, it's
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: rooted in Christianity, and it's it's it's been there, you know,
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 1: for forever, right forever. So it's uh, I don't think
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: there's a I don't think there's a big point in
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: debating it with God side. I mean, we would disagree
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: in the basics, disagree and the faicacy of evolutionary science.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: He would pull out of evolution psychology. He will pull
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: out his credentials in that realm. And I don't have
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: credentials in that realm. So, but I just don't I
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: don't think that it's I don't think it accepts. I
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: don't think it recognizes the importance of fee you will.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: I don't think it quite recognizes kind of the way
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 1: people human beings have evolved. Tim have you heard of I,
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 1: I tease in India institutes of technology? Is that what
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: it is? I have? They're very good. I'm not sure
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 1: what else Time Mosta says, is Chinese society more rational
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: than you're on? Oh? Yeah, much much more? You can
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: see that, and how much more innovation, how richer, how
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 1: much more middle how much we get the middle classes
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: in Chinese society much more rational. Tell him again, in
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: a free society, how should workers adjust the creative destruction
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: innovation displaces jobs. Is that an unavoidable downside of capitalism?
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: It's unavoidable, but it's not a downside, it's an upside
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: of capitalism. The way workers need to adjust is retrain
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: themselves and constantly, constantly being vigilant about making sure that
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: they are prepared for creative destruction, for change, for innovation.
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: So it's up to them. It's their responsibility to keep
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: an eye out and to make sure their skill set
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: is constantly being updated. But that's not a downside, that's
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: an upside and part of capitalism. There's no down there,
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: it's all up These work has become more productive because
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: of it, because of creative destruction, they become new wealthier,
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: they become better. As a consequence, their life becomes better. TM.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: Everyone who walbays about AI in education, But people panicked
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 1: over calculators too. Did schools do a poor job adopting
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: to calculators back then? It took them a while. I
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: was that generation where people panicked about calculators. It took
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: them a while to adapt and to figure out how
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: to deal with it. But in the end everything worked
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: and everything was fine. But it did take a while
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: to figure it all out and to see how to
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: use it in the classroom doing tests and things like that.
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: And then you had computers and the need to deal
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: with that. Technology is a challenge, a challenge to be embraced,
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: not feared. Time. Egypt's team conduct was disgraceful. Yes it was,
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 1: and as I said, I have no sympathy towards them,
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: given their explicit support of Ramas and anti Israeli stands.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: I've had some way. I don't know if it's true.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: Maybe somebody can correct me. That the Copts in Egypt
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 1: the constitute about ten to fifteen percent of the population.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: This is the Christian population of Egypt, then not Christians
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: are not a lot to play in the national team.
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 1: I'm curious if that is true and whether any of
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: the any of the people like JD. Vance and other
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: Christian conservatives have commented on that Christians are allowed to
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 1: play an Israeli team. By the way, Adam, despite the
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 1: Christian altruist element of Thomist Catholicism dominant in Poland, it
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: is not far preferable, is it not far preferable to
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: contient Hegelian cultures that dominate the rest of the West,
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: including the pragmatism that dominates the US. I don't think so,
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 1: not in the long run. Right now, Poland is motivated
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: by the memory of poverty and by the memory of communism.
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: But you know, is it sustainable and in what ways
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 1: is it better? If you're gay? Is it better to
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: be in Poland or better to be in in I
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: don't know. In Sweden, it's better to be in Sweden.
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 1: If you're an entrepreneur, it's probably better to be in Sweden.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: Poland in some ways is better, but in other ways,
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: in many ways it's not. And you know, the cultures
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: are content and a Galian to an extent. If they
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 1: were really content in Galian, the Nazis would be driving everything. Uh.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: And you know, the Christian element in Poland is significant,
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: and it's holding them back and if it and it'll
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: hold them back even more as they get richer. As
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: they get richer. So you know, I don't know in
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 1: the long run where it's going to go in which
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 1: culture is better. If I would go and live somewhere,
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: I'd rather live in Western Europe than in Poland. I
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 1: feel more comfortable there, you know, and and and uh yeah,
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: just like you. I think Adam feel more comfortable in
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: California than you probably would in Alabama. Now, Gannon in
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: Alabama is not Christian Tomist, but still I think there's
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: there's a definitely an element of that time Candace. Candace's
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: treatment of tp U s A and Erica and Erica
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 1: Cooke is disgusting. What do you think motivates it? Does
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: it remind you of any iron Ran characters? I mean,
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: she's she's a nihilist, she's a hater, she's the seeker
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: of attention. She's I think a little crazy Candass. She's
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 1: just completely irrational. Yeah, I mean irrationality manifests herself in
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 1: a variety of different ways, and in this case, one
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: of the ways you grab attention is by freaking out
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: over the craziest, nuttiest conspiracy theories possible. And that's what
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 1: she's doing. Does she remind me of any Ironran carries
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: to know? Not really, She's crazier than any in character
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 1: I could think of that Iran could imagine Alexis. I
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 1: second that motion about Egypty team abject behavior, their victim
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 1: of culture suffocating. Yes, and this is why they're poor
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 1: and they're struggling. I mean, there are some potentially questionable
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 1: calls on the pitch, but their behavior is just inexcusable,
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 1: absolutely inexcusable. Robert. My issues with driverlest trucks is driving
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: for a living is the single most common job for
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 1: high school educated in men in this country, in all
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: fifty states. Yeah, and they I'll have to find something
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 1: else to do, and they will. I don't know what
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 1: that is, but they will. It wasn't before they were trucks,
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 1: and it will be after their trucks. And you should
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: stop worrying about who works where technology improves life and
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 1: creates more jobs than it destroys. And there are plenty
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 1: of jobs that you're gonna need a human touch for
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: and you're gonna need manual label for so they could
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 1: become welders. So yeah, driverless trucks are massive innovation. Think
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: in terms of individualists and be egoistic about it. Driverless
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 1: trucks are gonna make the road so much safer, spare
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: the lives of thousands of Americans. They're gonna make your
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 1: life safer, They're gonna make your life cheaper, They're gonna
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 1: make your life better. Why are you worried about the drivers?
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 1: Let them figure out how to retrain and find better jobs.
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: You got to develop a egoistic mindset. Stop thinking about macroeconomics.
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: Think about how's this affecting my life, how's this going
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: to make my life better? In a real long term perspective,
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 1: not like little short term I'm getting a check from
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 1: the government. All right, guys, thank you, thanks all the
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: super shatters, Thanks so everybody it was here. I will
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: see you guys tomorrow. Tomorrow is yeah, Thursday. We've got
