  Speaker 1: Detailed conversations about Tucker Carlson or Candor Sowans. It isn't

  Speaker 1: my want spend time talking about Hassan Piker, who is
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: this anti American zeal it Never mind uh anti Semi,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: this this bigot who's very popular on the streaming service Twitch.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Sometimes ugly people are popular. I'm talking about ugly in
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: terms of ideas and thoughts. I mean beyond un American.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Actually was at Yale University speaking people. You know, sometimes
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: they get popularity, and they get popularity for.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Being ugly people.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: And his argument while he's there is that the fall
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: of the USSR the Soviets was one of the greatest
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: catastrophes of the twentieth century.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: The fall of the USSR was one of the greatest
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: catastrophes of the twentieth century.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Just wait, listen, maybe you'll agree.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Not only was their incalculable harm done to every single
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: country under its banner.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Child prostitution.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Skyrocketing, suicide rates, life expectancy plummeting, but America was no
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: lawnger contested around the globe. And it is precisely because
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: of the end to that multipolarity that we saw accelerated
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: neoliberalism that is devastating every Western nation right now.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Unlimited and unchecked greed, it's.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: One heck of a statement. Now, the alley's over there,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: like some are hissing and some are stamping their feet,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if it's an agreement or disagreement.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know which way it's done over there, So
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know, based on the room whether there's agreement
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: or disagreement. I simply will tell you that anytime someone's
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: using the term unchecked greed, I check right out. It's
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: a silly statement of emotional problem, unchecked greed. The socialist
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: doesn't have unchecked greed. I mean, this is Milton Friedman
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: all over Have you ever heard this from Milton Freeman.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: He's on the old Phil Donahue Show, and he's Donnie
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: who is asking him about this, about this idea of greed.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: And the point is is whose greed are we talking about?
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: The globe?
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: The maldistribution of wealth, the desperate plight of millions of
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: people in underdeveloped countries, when you see so few haves
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: and so many have nots, when you see the greed
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: and the concentration of power.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: With it, aren't you ever? Did you ever have.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: A moment of doubt about capitalism and whether greed's a
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: good idea to run on.
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: Well, first of all, tell me, is there some society
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: you know that doesn't run on greed? You think Russia
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: doesn't run on greed, You think China doesn't run on greed?
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: What is greed?
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: Of course, none of us are greedy. It's only the
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: other fellow who's greedy. The world runs on individuals pursuing
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: their separators. The great achievements of civilization have not come
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: from government bureaus. Einstein didn't construct his theory under order
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: from a bureaucrat. Henry Ford didn't revolutionize the automobile industry
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: that way. In the only cases in which the messes
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: have escaped from the kind of grinding poverty you're talking about,
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: the only cases in recorded history or where they have
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: had capitalism and largely free trade.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, yes, just the facts.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: The end.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: His whole arguments is the USSR falls because now no
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: one can check the United States and we're greedy. It's
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: a child's art arguments. Now, I would say to you
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: that that's enough to make you say, gosh, are my
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: kids listening.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: To this guy? No, this is enough.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Empires never die quietly, and we must end the American
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Empire regardless. But we must manage the retreat of a
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: superpower from the world stage. This is a challenge for
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: our time. Actually, this is the challenge for our time,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: because if we do not do this, then the American
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Empire will come to an end in a much more
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: violent way.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Ah, the American Empire. If you want to know the
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: challenge of our time, get your kids to stop watching
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Hassan Piker and go outside and touch grass.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: That's the challenge of our lifetime.
