• 0:03
  Speaker 1: A lot of fundamental principals of the interest and the
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: individual lots. This is the show. Oh right, everybody, welcome
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: to your one book show on this Monday, March ninth.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Second show today. I hope you all caught, uh the
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: interview with Andrew Fox earlier today. I think Andrew's one
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: of the smartest analysts out there. I don't always agree
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: with him and suddenly if we got into the morality
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: of war and stuff like that, we would disagree. But
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: he is much better at assessing kind of public reaction
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: to stuff and uh and uh yeah, reaction to stuff,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: so uh, civilian casualty stuff. He might agree with me ultimately,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: but he would say not worth it given how the
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: world responds to it. But anyway, it was a good interview.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I think I don't know what you guys thought. A
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: lot of you were there, so let me know what
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: you thought. If you want more guests like that, happy
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: to happy to try to find them, and yeah, check
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: it out, check it out. Earlier today, a one hour
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: interview with Andrew Fox. He was he was doing four
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: interviews in a row, so I could only get in
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: for an hour because he was so in demand. He
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: is he is one of the more in demand, I
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: think commentators and one of the better educated commentators out
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: there about the war. Uh ah right, uh yeah, hean
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: sways he seems it was less hopeful about the wartcome
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: than you are. Yeah, I think that's right. I think,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: as I've said before, I think think most military experts
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: are less hopeful than me about the war's outcome. We'll
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: see who's right and who's wrong. I also acknowledge the
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: fact that Trump, as we'll see we'll talk about, could
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: change his mind on a dime, and my hope is
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: so irrelevant. But yes, I think he is more. He
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: is less hopeful in terms of the ability of the
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Iranian people to rise up even with all this and
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: do a game change that that's basically his fear. I
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: think he's also hesitant about the uranium and some other issues.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: But yes, he's good. Somebody says, not as good as
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Dave Smith. That's right. I mean, he just doesn't have
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the credentials, the experience, the deep knowledge, the you know
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: of well traveled Dave Smith, who knows the Middle East
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: like the back of his hand because he spent decades
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: studying it carefully. So yes, it's hard to compete. It's
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: hard to compete. All right, We're gonna so we're gonna
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: talk about the new stream leader, who he is, what
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: he is, what he is, and we'll talk about give
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: you an update on how the war was going up
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: from my perspective at least, and then we can talk
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: about some domestic stuff, some taxes, watching a state, housing
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: rents in Austin, and a final just the video is
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: too good not to show you. I thought, okay, I've
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: shown you talk of videos yesterday. That was enough. This
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: one was just too good not to show you. So
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I fear. I fear, and it is real fear. I
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: really do worry about this. The Tuck is going to
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: produce so many good videos like this that I will
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: have to show you a tech of video every day,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: and that would be that would be how because you know,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: that would just be terrible. So I'm hoping Tuck up,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, either becomes less popular or
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: becomes more sane. But his insane videos are so good
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you can't not show them, can't not chow them anyway.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: All good? So he says, Washington State a welface state.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I think both Washington State is a welfare state. Nope, anyway,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: let's let's start with our with our new Supreme leader,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Supreme Leader of Ian, the son of the previous Supreme
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: leaders who've gone from one Supreme leader to another Supreme leader.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: And so when his father was you know, chosen a
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Supreme leader of you On, how many uh you know,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Ali Hameny, who's saying Ali hamedy No, not comedy? What
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: is it? Ali? Anyway? Ali Homony? He his father was
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: was not a you know, uh well guarded, big time
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: religious scholar. The Supreme Leader of you On is supposed
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: to be like a super a super scholar. He's supposed
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: to be a a extremely knowledgeable about about Islam and
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: about the ship religion. He's supposed to be an ayatula
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: and in a a and a top one at that.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: And when his father was was appointed, he came up
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: pretty short on there. He was a he was a jurist,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: one great below a tula. He he was actually placed
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: into position as Supreme leader above a guy named Hussein
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Ali Montari, who was the Grand Ayatulla whose scholarly chops
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: eclipsed Homonies. But he was not popular among the elites
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: among the uh clergy. Of the of the of you on.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I mean very similar to how popes get elevated. You
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: don't always get the most the most serious pope elevated.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: It's a political thing anyway. Mudstaba Mustaba, who is the
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: son of Alimony which Hominy, is even less of a
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: scholar than his father. He is not well known as
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: as a religious teacher. He's not well known as somebody
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: who has a white following of of uh. You know,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: followers who are looking for guidance and looking for inspiration
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: in in the the Qur'an. Almost you know, people don't
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: didn't refer to his father Ali Kamanian matter of Islamic law,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: and Mutchstaba is even less, has less religious cloud than
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: his father did. But what he does have, what he
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: does have is secular cloud. Muchaba has a lot of connections,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: strong connections with the Islamic Revolutionary God. He is he
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: has been running his father's affairs UH and and the
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: link to the Islamic Revolutionary God. Islamic Revolutionary God is
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: really the lynchpin of the regime that what the whole
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the regime together. They provide the guns, but also they
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: are committed ideologues. They are you know, they are taught
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: religion and the dogma of Shieti Islam as much as
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: they are taught about military, about arms. They are fanatic
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: religious fanatics. They are committed the artists. Now they also
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: have secular sides. You know. They all have a large
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: estates outside of Iran, a lot of money in Canada,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: in the UK and other places which they funneled over
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the years. We'll talk about Muchstaba's assets in a minute,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: But for the last twenty years or so, Mustaba has
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: been running his father's office and as the previous Tula,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: as the previous Supreme Leader was getting older and old older,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Mustaba became more and more powerful, primarily because of his
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: connections with the with the Islamic evolutionary God. Indeed, his
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: appointment as Apreme Leader seems to be a huge victory
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: for the God. He he beat out two other candidates,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: both of whom represent a more moderate view of Yuan
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: and a more moderate view of shiaert Islam. And unless
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: therefore connected with the revolutionary God so to elevate him.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: It really means that the that the more extreme elements,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: that the more militant elements, that the more anti Western
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: elements within Iwan are at you know, are in power
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: and are emboldened. And in spite of killing so many
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: of the leadership of the Islamic Republic of Yuan, the militant,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: the the real jihadists are in control, and they're the
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: ones who've appointed this guy who is not a compromiser,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: who has no interesting compromising Again, the other candidates Tula
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: a Rofi who has more religious credentials, but he's an
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: academic administrator and wouldn't have had any clout with the
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: with the Islamic Revolutionary God. One of the others was
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: known as a moderate. You know, no way would he
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: have had he was Actually the other candidate was Hormony,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: that is the first Supreme Leader's grandson. But he's considered
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: a moderate, so he would have he would have been out.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: So anyway, this is uh, this is the guy they've appointed. Now,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: what's interesting about disappointment is that, and they have acknowledged this,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: that he was injured in the attack against his father.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: That is, on the first day of the bombings. The
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Israelis killed his father, but they also killed his mother,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: his wife, and one of his children, so they've killed
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: basically his entire family, he was injured. Some rumors have
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: it that he's lost a leg, other rumors, and he's
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: all rumors. There's a ton of rumors online. There's like
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: one account that is constantly declaring people assassinated, but it's
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: all made up, no evidence. But I guess he gets
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: followers just by declaring people assassinated, and everybody thinks, oh,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: he's got inside information, and they follow him. But it
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: all turns out to be false anyway. By some accounts,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: he's lost his leg and might even be unconscious right
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: now and not even know. He's the supreme leader of
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: you on and that basically all this is is a
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: figure ad for the Islamic revolutionary God. Primarily the guy
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: running things on a day to day basis right now
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: is this guy called Ali Love and Johnny who has
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: been running it since how many was killed on the
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: first day. Ali Love and Johnny has been running things
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: UH and has been the effective ruler of you on.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Israeli television has a list now of six people that
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: at the top of the assassination list for for for
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: the Israeli UH, you know, for the Israeli Air Force
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: attacking UH Tehran and the rest of Ian at the
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: top of the list, there's the new stream leader. How
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: many who knows what he is? And uh, you know,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: he's probably in a bunker somewhere deep. But what can
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: get to you in deep bunkers? The question is which one?
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Where is he in Tehran? Is the outside of Tehran? Again,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: if he was injured in the attack the first day,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: he's probably in a hospital somewhere in Tehuan. Maybe that's
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: why these Raelies haven't taken him out, because they're not
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: going Tobamba Hospital at this point. Second name on the
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: list is Alila and Johnny, the guy running things on
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: a day to day basis. The third one is Golam
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Hossein mosse Aj something like that, who is the head
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: of the Supreme Court. Then you've got three others, all
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: related to the Islamic Revolutionary God. So these are people
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: all on the list for elimination by the Israelis, and
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: if I suspect it, if the war goes on long
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: enough in Yuan, these people will indeed be eliminated. So
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: it's going to be interesting. But it's interesting that there's
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: a list out. There's a list out. Let's see, No,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I wasn't looking for that all right, So Mustaba is
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: a is a militant, he is connected to the revolutionary God.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: He is, he was their candidate. He is not a compromiser,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: he's not a deal maker. He is he is out there.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: He and he is very dedicated to the nuclear program,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: not willing to give it up. And yeah, I mean,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: but on the other hand, can run the country pretty
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: quickly because he is he's been running his father's office
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: for twenty years, so he knows all the ins and outs.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: He's connected, he knows everybody. He's the he's the guy.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: He's the guy. Now again, we'll see how long you last.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: We'll see if he's even I mean, some people even
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: say he's dead already and and this is just they're
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: buying time without letting. But I doubt that's true. All right.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: One of the things that upsetting people is the fact
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: that this is a dynastic. You know, he's the son
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: of the previous subpremian leader. One of the big complaints
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: about the Shaw was it was a kingdom and dynastic
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: and hereditary and you know Roumiani, who founded, of course,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: the Islamic Republic. Romiani declared that Ewan will not be
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: a monarchy and there will not be father to some succession.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: And at least there's some evidence to suggest that Kamini,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: the father, the one who was killed the other day,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: did not want his son to take the position because
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: of this perception of it's like a monarchy and we
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: should be different than the than the Shaws. We should
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: not be we should not be transferring power from father
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: to son. So there might be a lot of resistance
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: within Yuan over the fact that, yeah, there's this, the
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: succession is hereditary, and people are gonna object to that,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: and and and clearly not liked, not like it. Other
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: than that, we will see, there's somebody of experts. It
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: turned out met by zoom basically if electronically they're not
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: meet in person. When it is we bombed the building,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: it landed up being empty, they weren't there, so they
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: they for security reasons, voted not in person, which is
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: not clear that that's Kosha, not clearly anybody anybody really,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: not clearly that anybody really cares anyway. This basically solidifies Land,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Johnny and and the Islamic Revolutionary God as central to this.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: They're the ones uh in control of you on They're
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: the ones will decide what happens from hre on. It
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: is worth noting that how many the Sun controls of
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: quite a few assets overseas through a variety of different
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: shell companies in order to elude the sanctions. He, his father,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: and many people within the Ranian regime were sanctioned by
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Western countries and are not allowed to own financial assets outside.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: But it turns out that they He has property, for example,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: in Great Britain, in London and in the area of
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: with well of one hundred million pounds, you know, some
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: some big houses, several houses in London he owns. I
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: suppose he owns a bunch of hotels in mainland Europe.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: So it has a lot of assets, hundreds of millions
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: of dollars outside Yuan, all over Europe. Much of the
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Ranian elite, much of the what's left of the Iranian
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: elite after you know, the Israelis are basically destroyed, so
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: much of it. But many of them have assets overseas,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: as I've said, a favorite location in Canada. But they
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: also have much quite quite a lot of assets in Europe,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: real estate, but also investment assets. Again they use shell companies.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: There's a good story in Bloomberg, how the son of
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Irans leader built a global property empire about kind of
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: shell companies and the investors he's used in order to
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: build this financial enterprise. So in spite of being this
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: religious fanatic, he's he's prepared himself an escape out with
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: money overseas. You know, there's no other reason to have
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: all this other than an escape for when the day comes. Now,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: I remember this is at the same time as Yuan
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: as dood poor. The Iranian people are impoverished. And yeah,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: things have been really really bad economically in Iran. At
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: the same time, Uranian elites funneling money out of Iran.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: All right, what else is going on visa the Iranian war.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: It's all continues to bomb targets into Iran and in
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: other cities in Iran, primarily regime targets. Remember I told
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: you they bombed the big oil storage facility in Tehran.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: When it turns out that Americans were very unhappy. The
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Trumpet administration was not happy with Israelis. It was the
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: first time there was a real conflict between Israel and
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: the United States. The US does not want to do
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: anything it causes pain to the Iranian people. The exact
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: opposite what I suggested yesterday or the day before yesterday,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: whenever it was. They do not want to cause any
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: pain to the Ranian peoples. They do not want to
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: target oil facilities. They have no interest in blowing up
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: oil them, no interest in taking up our plans, so
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: taking out desalination plans or water facilities or anything like that.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: You know. So the Trumpet inversations supposedly Chi did these Ralies.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: These Ralis claimed that they got approval from the Trumps,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: from the administration to attack the oil depot, but the oil,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: but the Americans are saying it was far more extensive
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: than they expected. So that was a real conflict between
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: these Raelis and the Americans. And it gives you a
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: little sense of where the war is heading. The war
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: is heading towards continued you know, attacks on military infrastructure,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: on the military and maybe decapitation leaders, but primary focus
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: is going to be on the Islamic crop of solutionary God.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: The United States has taken out basically the entire navy.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: I think they're up to forty one boats, which is
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: half the navy, but most of the significant naval assets,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: the bigger boats, the drone carriers, you know, ships like that.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: So they've taken out they've taken out the navy, which
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: is one of Trump's promises. Whether they've actually significantly reduced
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: the inventory of missiles in Iran is hard to tell. Again,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: many of those missiles are deep, deep, deep deep inside mountains.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: They might have blocked the entrances, but those interests can
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: be redug so it's not clear how much they've reduced
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: the real inventory and how much it could be reasserted.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: And then, of course the third one is a biggie
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: to what extent is the United States who really destroyed
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Euron's nuclear capabilities? That was the number one goal of
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: this whole project, And I don't know that they know
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: or I found where the the you know, uranium is,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: there's no clear that they have destroyed it. Again, it
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: might be buried underground, but anything buried underground can be
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: retrieved over time. So what exactly what exactly have they done?
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Have they actually achieved it? Right? Have they actually achieved it?
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: So have they actually gotten any of those So the
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: nuclear thing now we talked about, I think yesterday the
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: idea of special forces going on. Andrew Fox said he
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: was dubious about that. It would be very tricky operation
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: to it's actually it's actually engage in. That might be true.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, he knows more about the military aspect of
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: it probably than I do. I don't see any other option.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: What the other option is a negotiated settlement over the
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: nuclear stuff. That is unlikely. Again, the Uranians are not
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: going to give up the nuclear material. They're not going
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: to give up the nuclear ambitions. So none of the regime,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: none of the Trumpet demonstration's goals for this war, have
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: yet been achieved. The Iranian military, you know, is you know,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: reduced dramatically. Missile launches most of them are gone, but
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: miss out launches are easy to rebuild. So it would
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: be a tragedy, a real tragedy if all of this
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: And at the end of it, yeah, Elon doesn't have
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: a navy, but they dig out the missiles that they have,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: They rebuild launches which you can just take on the
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: back of a truck, and that they at some point
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: dig out the neuclear material and you know, it might
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: take them years to get back to where they were.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: But you know, the United States has just spent billions
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: and billions and billions of dollars and prestige and efforts,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: and in the lives of you know, what is it
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: seven or eight Americans for what if they're going to
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: walk away from this? Now? Trump keeps changing his mind
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: about this. So he did say today that he thinks
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: that the current state of juans are forces is such
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: that he could declare victory and end this now. And
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: then he says, oh, he could go further. And then
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: he said we're going to go further. That he said,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: you know later in the evening, God, Tommy, go away.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: You're just pollute my stream with lies. So ignore Tommy.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: He's just lying. He has no intel, he has no knowledge,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: he's just making stuff up. Blaz was the constant optimist,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: the always optimist, but a little delusion only my view.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Even if the wayns now, the world is much better
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: and safer place. Who knows it might lead to peace
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: in the midd least maybe, but it's safer, yes, but
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: for how long? I mean? This is the thing. Israel
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: has always been very, very good at half measures. And
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: this is an opportunity in Iran to really finish the job,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: to really do it right. It needs time, it needs weeks.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: You don't do it in a in ten days. It
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: needs time. But the idea that to do all this
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: for another half measure, I mean is did a half
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: measure in June, another half measure, now another half measure win.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just you know, when you go have
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: to go back. It's so frustrating, is that this is
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: the attitude of another half measure and another half measure.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Trump did say earlier today that the war would be
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: over soon, that you know, winning, and it's going to
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: be over soon. As soon as he said it, as
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: soon as he said it, stock prices started going up.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: All prices came down dramatically. I think thirteen percent decline
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: in all prices, which is the largest single day decline ever.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: I think in all prices. They were heading way above
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: one hundred and now they were last night looking at
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: it was like an eighty three. I'm not sure where
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: it is now. But just all he had to say
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: was I think, you know, maybe this will lands soon,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: and you know, financial markets just just go nuts. The
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Nasdaq closed one point three eight percent higher, The Dow
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: was up half a percent, the Rustle was up more
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: than a percent. Crude oil was down below ninety. Gold
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: landed up up the gold. Gold has been down from
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: its peak. Silver's down. So yeah, I mean interesting that
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: one statement, as if Trump doesn't change his mind every
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: five minutes, as if you can make anything, anything significant
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: out of it, if anything is meaningful from what Trump says,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: very very very little. Is a few other things about
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: the war. So we talked about the Strait of Homos.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: We talked about it on Saturday a lot. We talked
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: about it on Sunday. It turns out that with the
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Uranian navy now pretty much obliterated, a lot of oil
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: tankers have begun crossing the streets of Homos. They turned
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: the transponders off, or they are setting their transponders. The
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Chinese ship and the sneaking by. So now we're not
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: getting We're not anywhere near the volumes that it was
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: before the war. But oil is getting through the Homo straits,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: and I think that might be more of the reason
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: why all prices went down a lot today. There's some
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: evidence to suggest that ships are getting by, ships are
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: getting across. Uh. Supposedly the French are coming to the rescue,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Fans are setting setting an aircraft carrier and uh, you know,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: it's it's uh the kind of ships that go with
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: an aircraft carrier uh to uh the the the Arabian
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Sea with intent to escort ships out of the out
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: of the out of the Persian Gulf. So it'll be
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: through the Straits of Foremos. So maybe there's an international
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: force being assembled to try to get the ships out
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: of there. Maybe they're finding ways to get out without
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: that right again, turning off their transponders and sneaking by
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Elon doesn't have a lot, right. One of the things
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: you need in order to, for example, shoot missiles at
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: ships is you need a radar to be able to
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: detect where those ships are a lot of those radars
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: have probably been taken out on the coast. The straits
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: are fairly wide, and of course the border with Iran
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: is long along the Persian Gulf, so they've got lots
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: of opportunities to shoot at the ships. But maybe we
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: transpond us off and with very little radar help. Maybe
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: you know that I'm making that they're not successful ex
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: closing the straits as they might have expected, and the
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: consequence of that is or prices down significantly, I mean significantly.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: So it could very well be that that is driving
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: prices of oil down and if it stocks up much
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: more than anything Trump might or might not have said.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: The press is citing what Trump said. I suspect it's
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: more information from coming in from shipping companies that the
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: oil is getting through again, not in the quantities needed,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: but in some quantity, some quantity better than nothing. Let's see,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: what else do we want to Yeah, today, actually the
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: residents of Tehran are saying that the pounding, the explosions
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: happening right now in Tehran unlike anything they've heard so far.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: So they're claiming, at least some are claiming that the
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Israelis and the Americans are pounding pounding places. Uh, you know,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: at least concentrating that pounding in in Tehran and at
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: least one of the cities they are seen, and maybe
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: maybe using more ammunition, maybe using more planes, maybe more bombs.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but it sounds like this is and
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: maybe this is Trump's attempt to speed up the war,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: to speed it up and get it over with. Uh.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: But we will see, we will see it could be
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: speeding up the pace to get this war over with quickly.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: It'll be interesting what the targets they're hitting and what
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: they what they actually said. This is Trump today again
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: talking about the sinking of the Iranian naval ships. This
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: is classic Trump. He says, he said to he said
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: to I guess his generals. He says, why don't we
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: just capture the ships? We could have used the ships.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Why don't we think them? And then supposedly the general
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: said to him, it's more fun to sink them. I said,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: that's a that's they like sinking them better. He's like,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: he's surprised in front of the audience. Oh, my generals,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: they like sinking boats better than capturing them and taking them. Guys,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: then that what can I say? Let's see uh them? Uh?
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: You know. According to analysts, it looks like what they're
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: gonna do with the uranium is they're gonna leave the
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: uranium for the very end. So if they can make
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: a deal with Uranians, that will be part of the deal.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: And if they don't get a deal with Uranians, then
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: that's when they'll use special forces or special bombs, especial something.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: But they're not gonna They're not gonna do it early
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: in the mission. This is the last thing they will do,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: not the first thing. They will do so interesting. It
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: makes sense to me that they would do it that way.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: They would like to get the uranium to a deal.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: It's clean and simpler, but it you know, we will
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: see again. No more indications about whether the US is
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: going to put boots on the ground to take that
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: island that has all the Uranians or facilities and to
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: use that as leverage. Not clear, but you're not cliff
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: that's going to happen. No indications that they're moving forward.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Some rumors yesterday about it, but nothing more than that.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: And then the other thing is again rumors that CIA
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: and the Mossade are working on the ground in Iran
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: to try to try to spark to get the Uranians
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: to go back into the streets at some point here.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Not quite yet, but at some point get get their
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: minister streets. This is what Trump said earlier that the
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: financial press is all arguing shifted markets. He said, I
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: think the war is very complete, pretty much. They have
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: no navy, no communications, and they've got no air force.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: And then he says we're very far ahead of the
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: initial four to five week asked them a time frame
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: for the operation and that it could be over very
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: soon soon, not very soon, So who knows? Who knows?
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: All right, we talked about that, We've done that. I'm
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: just going through different points and yeah, we talked about that. Yeah,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: I mean Iranians. This is a report from Iran. Inside
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Iran since last night. Tehran and karaj I bean done
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: the heavy fire and smoke. All depots will hit today.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: The attacks were also intense and a number of cutlets dead.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Islamic regime across the country is high province by fagns,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: city by city, village by village. They are hunting besiege
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: members I GC forces and special units. So that is
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: that is the you know, the Iranians estimating that this
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: is taking a real toll on the GC. As Andrew
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Scott said, Andrew Fox said, basically, communications are dead. These
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Alian Americans have hit all the command control centers, so
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: there's nobody really running the operation. But what happens is
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: that they have basically delegated control to the regional commanders
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: of the Islamic Revolutionary Gods. That they are shooting weapons
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: that they won't discretion. There's no central commanding control. There's
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: no central command control. But you don't need central command
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: control when all you're doing is just buying stuff, you know,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: And this is it's not clear if they wanted to
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: stop them on a dime they could because the communications
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: is not there. It would probably take a while to
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: get them all to all stop and all at once.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Let's see a few other things related to this. Remember
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: the story about the school that was hit, killing one
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five students. I think it was the
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: first day of the war, and there was some consensus
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: that it was probably a Tomahawk missile, that it basically
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: missed it star getting hit the school instead. Well, people
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: have analyzed the video now very closely and have come
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: to the conclusion it was not a Tomahawk missile based
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: on the actual characteristic of the missile. They've actually slowed
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: down the frame so they can see the missile as
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: it strikes the school. There's video of this. They have
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: come to the conclusion it's actually Cage fifty five land
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: attack cruise missile, which is Uranian. And what they think
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: happened is this is an Iranian cruise missile that because
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: the United States was jamming GPS, basically kind of took
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: a wrong turn and hit the school. So inspite of
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: the fact that everybody's blaming the United States for this.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: It went now back to the original explanation was it's
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: a it's a misfired it's a you know, mis targeted
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Iranian missile that hit the school. Right, if they when
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: they look at the angle, when they look at the
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: actual characteristics where the wings aw on the missile, it
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: doesn't look like a tomawnk. It does not look like
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: a tomunk anyway. Uh yep, So that is an update
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: on the school. I don't know if you saw the
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: video of the Iranians women's soccer team who was playing
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: I think in Australia, and when the Iranian national anthem
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: was being played, they refused to sing along. They stayed quiet.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: As a consequence of that, the Iranian regime threatened them
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: with arrest when they came back to Iran. As a
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: consequence of that, five Iranians women's soccer players have defected
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: and they had been labeled wartime traitors and they defected
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: in Australia. There were some worried that the Australians wouldn't
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: give them political asylum, and I think the Trumpe administration
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: came in and said if you don't, we will and
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Ultimately the Australians caved and they gave them asylum. So
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: good for those girls. You know, their lives are probably
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: going to be significantly better in Australia than going back
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: to Irun. Okay, quick update on Israel in Lebanon Arisbela again.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Israel is increasing its occupation of territory in southern of
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: south of Lebanon to try to create a security buffer
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: zone in the north of Israel against against Risbelah. They
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: are also continuing to target Isbela Isbela assets all over Lebanon.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: They have been going in the last few days, going
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: after Isbela financial institutions, destroying their banking entities, pulling down,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: you know, buildings with officers or any kind of association
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: with Isbela. They be knocking them down. There are over
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: a million people in Lebanon now who are being evacuated,
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: and it seems like Israel keeps expanding the evacuation zones
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: and keeps demanding evacuation further and further. I think there's
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: another neighborhood now in Beroots that they've asked them to
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: evacuate as they destroy building after building, base after base,
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: armory and ammunition depot after ammunition depot. At the same time,
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: the Lebanese army doesn't seem to be doing anything. There
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: are rumors in the beginning that they might be confiscating
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: some of the military equipment Chrisbela has, but I haven't
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: heard anything about that. Lebanese military is still afraid of Risbela,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: and I think Lebanese politicians are still worried about a
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: civil war, even though the partiticians are more brazen in
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: terms of statements they're making. And again they've outlawed the
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: military wing of Risbella. They have you know, they've talked
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: about arresting the leader of Risbella, and they have talked
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: about the military going after Risbella. Nothing has been done.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: And then earlier today they even stories came out that
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: they were talking to the Americans about arranging for meetings
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: with the Israelis to establish peace between Lebanon and Israel,
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: which would be amazing, But Chrisbella still needs to be dismandled.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: Israel's going to have to decide whether they're going to
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: go all in and take out Risabella and completely dismantle
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: it and destroy it with or without the help of
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: the Lebanese army or whether they're going to cut another
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: deal with Risbella. It did seem like Isbela was jocking
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: for another cease fire where they could get some kind
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: of deal with israelis to delay, to delay and postpone
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: their demise. I guess to be determined. We will see
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: what the Israeli government decides to do. We'll see whether
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: Risbellah decides to negotiate. As I've told you, I think
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: yesterday Israel as killed. You know, all the leadership, the
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: Iranian leadership in Lebanon, there was the bridge between Iran
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: and Krisbella. Giving Iran's problems, they're not going to be
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: very supportive of Krisbella. The communication link is being cut,
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: all the military headquarters of commanding control in iran A
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: being decimated, all those headquarters in Beiruta being decimated. Just
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: nobody to talk. But Isabel it's still a life that
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: you know. It has thousands of troops, it has lots
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: of weapons. It is not dead, It is not dead.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: It is just dramatically significantly crippled and weakened. And then
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: the question is there's Israel go for the ultimate death
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: blow that would probably require ground troops in significant parts
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: of Lebanon. Could Israel use the Lebanese army with the
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: Lebanese army agree how to tell? Today, the President of
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: Syria himself, a former ISIS member, if you remember, declared
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: that he's stood with the Lebanese president and it is
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: willing to help the Lebanese disarmed Risbella. So one Islamist
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: group disarming another Islamist group. That should be fun and interesting.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so uh, we will see how this exactly
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: evolves and what exactly happens. Basically, I think it's going
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: to be down to what Israel, what Israel is willing
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: to commit in order to, you know, completely finish off Risbela.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: They didn't finish off Ramas They've never really finished off anybody.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: And whether they finish off you won I don't know.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: But but let me again, let me make this point.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: I think Andrew Fox made it. I'll make it again
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: as well. Even if even if and Boss made it earlier,
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: Even if they don't finish the Iranians off, even if
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: they don't finish Grisbela off, Israel is Subsidin actually safer
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: today than it was in October six before the October
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: seventh you know, horrors, Israel has bought itself years, if
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: not decades, a relative piece relative piece is you still
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: going to have to deal with whatever happens in Gauza.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: Is will still gonna have to deal with the West Bank.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: But in terms of Chrismallah being a threat, much much
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: smaller threat than it was in October sixth, I mean,
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: ninety five percent weaker than it was in October sixth,
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: Iran ninety five percent weaker than it was in October
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: six So Israel is in a buch much better position
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: today than it was just two years ago. What it
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: would be sad is if it gets so close, so
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: close to I think and Andrew Fox did not agree
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: with me, but I think decimating Ramas this close to
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: decimating Hibllah this close does eugime. Changing Iran, and I
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: think we've changed Anyon is key to all of that.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: As I said before, I think it's a it's a
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: blow to the tire Islamist movement in the whole world.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: But even if you don't achieve that, you're still going
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: to be better off than you were originally. All right,
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: that is that is our story for me. Ran. All right,
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: let me just remind you that these shows are funded
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: through contributions by you can't do this without you, guys.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: Now you've being incredibly generous over the weekend. So I
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: appreciate that. But it can't just end. So we have
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: to find every show. We've got monthly goals, we've got
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: yearly goals. We've got to keep the pace. And so
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: the goal is two hundred and fifty dollars an hour,
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: well way way way way way short of that. This
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: hour that is about to end, and then we're going
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: into second hour, so we're wit short of all of that.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: So i'd appreciate if those of you out there, one
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: hundred and ninety people watching, I did a sticker for
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: any amount that support value for value, you value the show.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: This is why you hear you value my analysis on
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: you on and everything else. I assume that's why you
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: hear police consider showing your support, showing that beyond just watching,
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: supporting the fact that the show exists and the fact
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: that I keep you know, I'm broadcasting when I travel
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: and pretty much every day during this war. And of
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: course you can ask questions. The beauty of questions is
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: that you get a shape the show. I talk about
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: what you want me to talk about. You can ask
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: me questions about anything, well related, unrelated, anything you want
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: I can you can ask. So, yeah, consider asking questions.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: I'm particularly looking for twenty fifty dollars questions so we
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: can get closer to our goal. It's going to be
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: hard to get to a goal with five to ten
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: dollar questions, but any questions is fine. But please consider
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: asking questions, participating, creating content for the show and supporting
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: the show and supporting everything that I do. Couldn't do
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: this without financial backing. Couldn't do this without you guys.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: It's completely listener supported. And yeah, that's that's how we
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: fund this show. All right, let's see taxes. Yeah, so
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: Washington State, what's the state has no income tax, and
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: you know, it has been a place that has seen
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: the rise of Amazon, Microsoft, Starbucks. It has been a
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: haven for entrepreneurs who have you know, built businesses around Amazon,
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: around Microsoft, and you know a lot of very wealthy people.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: A lot of wealth has been created in Washington State.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: And part of that is I think the no income tax.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: It just creates an advantage to being in Seattle versus
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: being in or being in Washington State Visaly, being in
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: California or somewhere else, and the state has done very
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: very well off of it. But of course the state
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: has been run by Democrats, and the consequence of that,
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: particularly Seattle, but the state overall has been run by Democrats.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: And a big part of that is they you know,
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: there's a vast welfare state. They've got a lot of spending.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: They spend a lot of money, and the just looking
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: that's that I don't know what this is personal income. Yeah, so,
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: and as a consequence of that, you know, the states
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: that have zero income tax have seen personal income rise
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: significantly over the last seventy years, and this has been
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: a huge benefit increases. They've grown at a much faster
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: rate than states than have income taxes, So the way
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: to growth in income has gone up significantly the now.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: But as much income as the state of Washington generates
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: from sales taxes and other taxes, it spans a lot,
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: and it wants to expand the welfare state. They always
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: the welfare state is never going to shrink. It's always expanding.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: There's always new people to subsidize, there's always new causes
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: to fund, there's always new stuff to do that the
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: government has to do that is necessary. That altruism demands
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: that you fund. Now, they don't want to impose an
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: income tax, but they need more revenue. So who do
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: they go after. Well, what they do is they go
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: after the rich. So Democrats in the state of Washington
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: are pushing for a nine point nine percent millionaire tax,
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: which would then become one of the highest state taxes
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: in the country. So you would be taxed above a
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: certain amount. But this is a theme everywhere, right, I
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: mean everywhere around the world. Welfare state's struggling to fund
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: their deficits. The United States is going to have to
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: face up to this at some point here because we're
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: running massive deficits. We have a massive welfare state we're
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: trying to fund, and we keep raising tax we keep
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: cutting taxes, and yet the revenue doesn't come in to
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: fund all this. And I know Republicans are kind of
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: praying that the Ai Revolution will create massive economic growth
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: and there'll be so much tax revenue from the economic
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: growth that it'll cover all the Social Security and Medicare
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: and everybody's needs and there'll be no problem. But then
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: you've got a war that's costing billions and billions of billions,
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: and this just at some point something has to give.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: We sell this in the Netherlands that again has a
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: massive welfare state and can't fund it, and so they
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: come up with this wealth tax, attacks on unrealized capital gains,
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: and of course Democrats would love attacks on unrealized capital gains.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: That's basically what California is trying to do. California, there'll
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: be a ballot initiative to create to tax wealth, including
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: unrealized capital gains. So California is running a welfare deficit
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: and it needs more money to fund all the beautiful
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: welfare stuff at once. So it's going to attack rich people,
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: tax rich people with a wealth tax only billionaires. Washington
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: States won a millionaire tax. In the Netherlands, they're putting
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: a basically a wealth tax and including unrealized gains, and
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: of course millionaires going to leave the Netherlands and you're
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: seeing slowly and I think this will increase. I think
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: this will accelerate. The UK is struggling where they're going
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: to find the revenues, and they put a basically they
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: put a tax on millionaires and UK has lost huge
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: numbers of millionaires over the last couple of years. Because
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: of that, you're going to see more and more and
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: more despoate welfare states trying to find squeeze the wealthy
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: for more and more taxes. The wealthy are gonna try
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: to escape, but you know the states, the governments are
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: gonna try to chase them down. California is making their
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: tax retroactive. We'll see if that's constitutional, but retroactive to
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: the beginning of the year, so even if people leave
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: during the year, they'll still be taxed, which in California
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: means for a lot of these billionaires, billions of dollars
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: of tax bills. Just disgusting an episode. Okay, a couple
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: of things about housing. You know, Trump promised this bill
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: they would basically make it illegal for private equity and
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: big institutional investors to buy homes because I guess that's
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: the cause of home prices going up. It has nothing
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: to do with home prices and rents going up. Nothing
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: zero zero, literally, not a nothing, not on n iota.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: But Trump wants to eliminated and there's bill going through
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: Congress to do that. But the bill is ridiculous, right,
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: the bill is filled with exemptions and loopholes and subsidies.
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: I mean any when you look at it, this bill
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: is the worst of all worlds. It's only going to
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: increase federal control over housing. It's not going to do
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: anything to lower the cost of housing, and it's going
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: to create so many exemptions that the stuff that for
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: whatever reason, Democrats and Republicans don't like that private equity
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: buying homes. It's not going to go away, not going
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: to go away. It's the bill is called the Road
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: to Housing Act, and it basically is going to increase
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: federal involvement in state and local zoning decisions. It's gonna,
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: you know again, it's gonna do just gonna increase housing shortage.
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: It's not gonna do anything. And it's gonna limit some
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: people's ability, some institutional investors' ability to but not much,
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: not much, right, I mean, this is a quote from
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: UH or somebody from the AEI. The bill quote would
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: turn what has been a legal and permissible activity, namely
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: investment in one and two unit homes for renters, into
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: a suspect activity heavily regulated by the US Treasury. It
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: just doesn't make any sense. Remember that when investors buy homes,
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: somebody lives in them, they rent them out, that's how
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: they make money. And they can't charge about market rates.
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: And the investors are so few homes in any any
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: region that have no monopoly power to raise rates. It's
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: only just fantasy. Now I tell you how to lower rates,
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: how to lower rents. You want to lower rents, It's easy.
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: Everybody knows how to do it.
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: I wanted I wanted to. I wanted you to see
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: this graph. Let me see if I can get you
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: to see this graph. This is a cool graph. I
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: don't want you to see that. Uh, let's do it,
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: all right, rips Oka and so okay, right, we'll get there.
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: There you go, there's a graph, right. You know I'm
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: blocking the peak there. You're gonna have to believe me.
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: This peak there, right, You see the graph that is
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: rents in Austin, Texas as a percent of income. Rent
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: in Austin, Texas as a percent of income. Right, So
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: basically it's a measure of how affordable rent is. And
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: you can see that rent went way up in twenty
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: twenty two up in the post COVID. Ever, when lots
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: of people moving to Austin and there wasn't enough supply,
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: people that didn't build enough homes. Yet it takes time
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: to build homes. But everybody was moving to Austin, driving
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: up rents. Demand fixed supply rents go up straightforward, supplying demand.
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: But then what happened, Because there's not a lot of
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: zoning and not a lot of restrictions in Austin, Texas,
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: people went out and build a ton of you know,
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: rental properties. And look at it. It's now cheaper to
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: buy in Austin in twenty twenty six than it was
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: in two thousand and five relative to income. Income's gone
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: up and rent is just plummeted. How has that happened.
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: It's happened because supply increased. It's happened because supply increased. Build, build, build,
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: If you build houses, prices will go down. Now. The
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: problem is that Trump doesn't want prices to come down.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: He said so he said in his in his pieces says,
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't want own prices to come down
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: because a lot of people will lose the equity value
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: that they built up in their homes, and those people vote.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: He wants somehow to houses to be more affordable for
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: young people without all the people suffering a depreciation and
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: the value of the home yeah, good luck with achieving that.
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: In Austin. They know how to do it. They just build.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: And part of this is that there was real yes
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: in my backyard attitude in Austin that took over city hall.
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: That influences zoning boards, and that got building building building building,
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: and the consequence of that is plummeting rents. And it's cool,
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: you know, economic theory works. It's cool to see it
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: all in a graph. It's cool to see that line
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: just go straight down. That is dramatic and very very cool.
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: Now if you own, if you are a property owner
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: in Austin and you're trying to make money, it's hard
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: because rents have come down. And you probably built when
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: rents were much higher, and you probably bought property when
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: rental much higher and you assumed rents would be high.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: And yeah, it's it's a tough environment if you bought
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: a few years ago, or if you brought close to
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: the peak, or even before the peak. Rents are so
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: low right now that yeah, but to see the markets
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: self correcting, what happens. Will rent are really really low,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: Nobody builds any more houses, right, can't make a profit,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: So rents will come up again and they'll settle in
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: some place where it's profitable enough to build, right, but
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: where basically supply meets demand and where you know, the
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: current demand gets satisfied at a reasonable price. That's how
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: it works. Builders get, you know, owners of rental units
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: get a reasonable return in the capitol, and renters are
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: happy to rent their properties. That's the equally bit and
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: that's what you will get over time. All right, what
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: are we doing housing? Okay, let's let me show you
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: this clip of Tuka you know, and and and this
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: one is this is a clip. Oh, let me move
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: it looks like it moved cent you it like that?
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: There we go, all right, I'll play it.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: And and what people like Levin, whom I'm not attacking
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: I feel sorry for because he's clearly living in hell.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: But what he's not attacking living living is clearly living
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: in hell. This is Mark Levin, the commentator, who's Who's
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: Who's po Trump uh po will with you on PO
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: Israel and and therefore an enemy of tucka together with
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: with the Ben Shapiro, but living in particular enemy of Tucker.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: But so he's living in hell obviously.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: Like Levin, whom I'm not attacking I feel sorry for
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: because he's clearly living in hell. But what they're trying
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: to do is a species of witchcraft.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: I can't help myself. It's a species of witchcraft. We're
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: in witchcraft territory. You thought demons, you thought it was
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: just about demons, But this is witchcraft, mack Levin. I mean,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: these Jews not only do they drink the blood of babies,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: but they engage in witchcraft, actual witchcraft. Well Manklevin has
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: sold out by supporting Trump and supporting all the nonsense
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: Trump does, but he hasn't sold out when he comes
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: to Fahn policy and he's yeah, I don't know what
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: his position is on taiffs, but at least he hasn't
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: sold out on Fahn policy.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: And it's really simple. You repeat something until it becomes true.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: You repeat something until it becomes true. So repeating a
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: lie makes it a reality. You speak.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: You create truth by speaking. In the beginning, was the
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: word right?
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: You create truth by speaking. Think about how mystical that is.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: Think about how mystical that is. You create truth by speaking.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's us a dou gin. There is
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: no one truth is my truth? Your truth everybody's truth.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: There is a there's a holy power, there's a supernatural
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: power in words.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: Just supernatural power in woods. Just let that all think
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: in This is the new voodoo, voodoo punditry, This is
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: the Witchcraft demon stuff, this is this is and and
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: there's Megan Kelly, Megan Kelly, Megan Kelly, supposedly normal, Megan
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: Kelly nodding along. Yep, Witchcraft, supernatural power in woods.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: Describing things is different from simply doing them. And if
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: you you can talk reality into being, you.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: Can talk reality into being. Have you tried that? I
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: keep trying that. It never works for me. I don't know.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: Maybe God's just not on my side. Isn't this like praying,
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: which is talking reality into being or begging reality into
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: being or praying reality into being. I mean, this is
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: the pistemology of religion, This is mystical epistemology. This is
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: what dominates these freaks, these weirdos. And uh, this is
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: Tucker cost is really channeling I think, the true spirit
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: of so many in Maga and and and in in
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: in kind of the religious conservative world. It's quite something
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: to behold.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: This is what an incantation is. That's what a spell
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: is It's not like spooky like crazy stuff. It's the
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: lived reality of every person.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: Lived reality of every person is spells and inculcations and
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: and and and and making saying stuff makes it something
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: in reality. I mean, he's he's reading Ivola, he's reading
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: all these right wing mystics of the past who are
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: not Christian. But you know, this is this is Dougin.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: This is this the BS that Bannon has been has
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: been marketing and bringing onto the into into the right
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: in America. This is serious stuff. It's completely wacko. And
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: why anybody listens to this guy, And I'll say this again,
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: why anybody watches this guy? I don't. I don't. I
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: just don't get it. I don't get it. I mean
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: it tells you something about the state of the culture
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: that they're watching this.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: Say it and it becomes true. And that's exactly what
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: they're trying to do. Hills like Pompeo are getting paid
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: from who knows how many different groups.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Pompeo's getting paid, but Tucker Colson's not. No, he does.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: He never got money from Quait, from Kato, sorry from Kata.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: Doesn't know no, nope, nope, to lie to you and.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: Coming across some sort of moral voice or people poor
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: my cuckuby guys like that, or are just spell Let's
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: just be honest about what this is. It's not about
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: Iron's weapons, It's about Israel's ambitions. But there's something deeper.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: There's like almost a spell.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, how could it's a spell? It's a spell?
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: Twitchcaff guys, you didn't know this, but this is deep
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: political analysis. Everybody's under a spell. Everybody who disagrees with
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: Tucker calls. I don't even want to think about the
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: kind of spell I have been has been, has been
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: placed on me. But anybody who disagrees with Tucker calls
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: anybody who happens to be I don't know pro Israel,
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: for example, is under a spell. Could be for example,
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: is being threatened.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: I know, how could be? Well, I'm sure you do too,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: nice man, like what is this? And it I look
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: at him and I see a man under a spell.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, it's the thing about techer Causon.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: He's talking like he's normal, He's is getting this idea
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: is And you know, I like Huckabee, and I've spent
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: time with Hakkabee, and I could be a fan, you know,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: and he knows all these people, and he and and
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: it's like he's a normal human being. We're just having
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: a conversation, and the things coming out of his mouth
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: are so nutty and absurd. You'd expect is you know,
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: froth to come out of his mouth and his eyes.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: But he's so good at what he does. Is he
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: just he says it like just like ten years ago,
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: just like fifteen years ago. He just commentary, just straight up,
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: you know, without the wacky laugh and the craziness that
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: sometimes he binks to it. He comes across as a
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: sane human being saying completely insane. I mean, I mean this.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: I'll be mocked for it, but I mean it. There's
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: no practical, conventional explanation for some of this behavior. I mean,
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: look at Ted Cruz and I'm like, I think I
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: know what's going on. Lindsey Graham, I think I know
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: what's going on. But Mike Huckabee, I think he has
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: he is under a spell.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: Hit He He says this three times. Now, Huckaby is
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: under a spell. He really believes this. There's some power
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: in the universe that, of course, Tucker called explain Taka
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: can't explain because he can't explain what's going on, and
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: that power is put a spell on Huckabee, and it's
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: a it's a Jewish power because Huckaby's po Israel, So
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: it's a Jewish power. This manipulating the universe right now
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: and put us.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, he is not thinking clearly at all. And
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: so when Mike Huckabee says and I think Mike Huckabee
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: likes America or did, but when he stands up and
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: says that God will destroy our country if we don't
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: support BB, It's like, how could someone ever say something
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: like that? And I don't know the answer, but I
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: think it's more metaphysical than political, and what he.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: Thinks it's more metaphysical than political. In other words, it's
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: mystical metaphysical these people, and they talk about metaphysics. It's
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: not existence exists, A is a. It's mystical stuff. It's
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: it's you know, spiritual mystical stuff. That's metaphysics for them.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: This is te Cacassia. This is Takacossia to twenty twenty six.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: This is the guy who is uh, you know, is
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: completely gone.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: This guy says Yon book needs to read. It needs
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: to read the secret that will change his mind. Connor McGregor,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: Oprah and Will Smith can't be all wrong. Now, I
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: assume he's being funny, because it is pretty funny. I mean, yes,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: how could How could Connor McGregor, Oprah and Will Smith
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: be all wrong? I mean, that would be bizarre if
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: they were all wrong. I must be wrong anyway. This
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: is mystical nonsense. Uh, this is a state of American epistemology,
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: if you will, This is a state of American culture
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: that this guy has a platform, any platform that anybody
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: listens to him. Uh, it's it's it's a spooky world.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: It's a spooky world with lots of spell and lots
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: of spells going on, and lots of forces, metaphysical forces
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: imposing their will on poor us humans as we go
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: about life. I mean, God, how do I even know
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: that what I'm doing is not a product of a
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: spell one of you? I don't know. Maybe maybe Scott,
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: that's it. It must be Scott. You remember Scott, Scott
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: who probably is on here by a different name, but
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: you remember Scott. Maybe Scott has put a spell on me.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: That's why I don't see the truth. That's why I
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: don't see Tucker's truth, all right. Bizarre, strange How to
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: tell what exectly happened to Tucker again? Fifteen years ago?
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: He was kind of a small little libertarian type, pro
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: free markets, and fairly sane and very knowledgeable and wore
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: bow tie. Bow tie is gone and so is his mind.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: It all all went up in smoke together, I guess,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: no bow tie, no mind. Pretty amazing, pretty amazing.
• 1:11:06

• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: there is a discount coupon twenty six YBS ten. Twenty
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: six ybs ten. All right, let's jump in with questions.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: Let's start with Michael fifty dollars, Thank you, Michael. Irak
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: and Afghanistan were diversions, a way to be doing something
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: without actually addressing the source of the problem. That's how
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: you get it. Forever war poke at the problem, but
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: always refrain from resolving it until now. Well, yeah, but
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: notice that nobody frames it that way. Really, nobody frames
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: it that way. Nobody frames this as this is a
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: war with Islamism, with jihadism. The fountain head of that
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: enemy is Iran, and therefore we need regime change so
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: we can get rid of the fountain head of the
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: Islamist cause, which has been killing Americans for forty something
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: years and is dedicated to killing more Americans in the future.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: Nobody mentions Islam when they talk about Iran. They talk
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: about nukes, and they talk about missiles, and they talk
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: about tactics, and they talk about you know, hate and
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: all this stuff, but they don't mention Islam. This is
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: about Islamism. This is about the root of the problem,
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: the root cause. But the root cause is not a regime.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: The root cause is an ideology. And to really solve
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: the problem of Islamism, regime change has to happen, but
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: it has to be regime changed towards a secular government.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: Anything short of a secular govern in Ian is not
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: a permanent, long term solution to the challenge of Islamism.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: So I agree with you that you rec and if
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: Ghanistan were not what should have been done. Ian was
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: always the target. But the problem with you walk and
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: if Ghanistan and Iran is nobody will identify the actual
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: source of the issue. Radically islam fundamentality Slam, Slam of
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: fascist Islamic tatlitarianism, however you want to categorize it, however
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: you want to identify jihadism, maybe that's the enemy. That's
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: what must be destroyed.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 3: That is what.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: Going to war with Ian is four. And yet that
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: is being growth completely. And this is why my view,
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: the Mullahs, the Ayatulas, the teachers, the scholars, these are
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: the legit targets. These are the enemy. That's why kom
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: the spiritual hotline of the Iranian regime. That's where you
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: need a This is why we're so excited. Unfortunately didn't
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: work out this way when they bombed the building of
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: the of the was it the Committee of Experts which
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: all these religious figures, that's the enemy, that's who needs
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: to be taken out. Thank you, Michael nachiavijago with him.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: Why didn't Hitler attend the one see confidence or visit
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: a concentration camp? It seems he didn't want to get
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: his hands dirty with the final solution. Has there ever
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: been an evil regime as organized as Nazis? Most are
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: pathetic like you are. I mean the Nazis were pathetic,
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: so in certain ways organized, but also I mean think
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: about badly they lost, Think about how badly they lost.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: So you have to you have to see the Nazi
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: resime was pretty pathetic as well. Yeah, I mean Hitler
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: wanted to delegate. He wasn't a duer. He didn't go
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: to battlefield, he didn't command troops in the field, and
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: he didn't go to concentration camps. He had no reason to.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: He delegated all the responsibilities for doing that. He knew
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: people would follow his orders, he knew they would do
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: it the way he wanted to do it. He clearly
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: communicated to them what needed to be done, and then
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: he left it to them. And they were industrial There's
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: never been a society that is engaged in mass murder
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: on an industrial scale and in industrial methodology. I mean,
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: Mao and Stalin might have killed more people than Hitler,
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: but they mainly killed them, you know, through bad policies.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: That's caused the starvation, maybe on purpose, maybe not. They
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: killed him by selling them to the various gulags. They
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: killed them in various locations, various places. The Nazis built
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: an industrial machinery, a system for the eradication of the
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: whole people. I mean, the evil that is unique, that
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: is different people were just were just gassed and then
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: their bodies were bounds in large numbers, incredibly efficiently twenty
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: four to seven for years. And if the war continued,
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: they would have achieved their goal of basically wiping out
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: the European the Jews of Europe and many many other
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: people as well, but mainly the Jews of Europe. But
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: they were efficient, organized, industrialized in that, and yet they
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: were pathetic when it came to actually building weapons of
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: war and actually winning a war and doing strategy. All right,
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: let's see Doug Trump announced a ban on trade relations
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: with Spain. Is this just a response? Is this a
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: just response to Spain? No, it's not. And again it
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: hurts Americans, like we don't get to buy Spanish olive
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: oil and Spanish wine and we hood, we get hood.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: So no, it's absolutely not a just response. But by
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: the way, never went into effect. Spain capitulated ultimately they
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: allowed the US to use bases there, but no, Spain
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: is under no obligation to let the United States use
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: bases there. And it's it's it's stupid for the United
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: States to penalize them for doing so. It's not like
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: it was necessary for the war, but you know it
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: worked in the sense that's Spain capitulated. But no, I
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: wouldn't penalize Americans and Spaniards for the stupidity and the
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: pacifism of the Spanish government. The Spanish government is bad,
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: really really bad. It's a socialist government. But that's Spain's problem,
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: not Americans. Doug, will you give a biography of the
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: late Supreme leader Juan's history Lessons of Gold? I mean
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: a biography of the late Supreme Leader. I don't think
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: it's that interesting. I'd have to do a bunch of research,
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: but we could. I just don't know how interesting it is.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know how interesting of a leader he was.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: Romani the original I told Romania who did the Rainian evolution,
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: much more interesting character, real leader, a in a sense
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: and intellectual who really manipulated everything in order to in
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: order to create the Iranian Revolution. So that would be
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: much more interesting. So I guess Daniel is asking, can
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: you do a show in the history of the Iranian Revolution? Yeah,
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's a good idea. I'll do that. I
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: think the history of the Uranian Revolution is actually quite interesting,
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: and to Roumian's life is Romani is the not how
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: many homeni is really interesting, Doug. If the Allies take
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: your advice and cop it bang the Iranian coast, what
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: would it look like to open the straight twenty miles worth?
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't know. I am not familiar enough
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: with the military technology that the Iranians have. It could
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: be the just taking out the radars enough. It could
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: be that you have to you have to demilitarize the swath.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's twenty miles, maybe it's five miles. I don't know.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: It depends on the range of the handheld. It depends
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: on whether they are how they are cited, whether they
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: need radar, what kind of communications they would need. And
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: I would need a lot more information intelligence, information about
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: the weapon systems, how they work, how they function. So
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: I'm just giving general advice, not specific, because I don't
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: know specific. You can't give specific advice without knowing a
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: lot more about the weapons systems involved. Clearly, to really
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: take out large numbers of ships, you would need radar,
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: and I think the US and Israel could easily take
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: out the radars all along the coast. Beyond that, I
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know how much would need to
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: be done. Shasbutt. Here's a Have the Democrats ever wondered
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: why their welfare programs have an eliminated poverty. Do you
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: expect poverty to disappear eventually or do you consider it
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: just just the way the universe works. I mean, look,
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: poverty is down because you know, and the Democrats would
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: argue that it's down because of the warfa state, like
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: since the warm poverty was engaged in. Poverty is down now,
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: it was going down before. So the rate of decreasing
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: poverty is lowered, and absolute poverty is way down in
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: the United States, and again arguably because of the warfare state.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: Nobody goes hungry because of fruit stamps, You've got everything covered.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: Old people get so security and medicare so yeah. I mean,
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: the problem with the welfare state is not that it
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: doesn't eliminate poverty in many regards it does. The problem
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: with a welfare state is that it causes mediocrity. It
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: crushes ambition, and of course you know, it's redistribution of wealth,
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: it's stealing. But the consequence of that is lower economic growth,
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: less ambition, and less poor becoming wealthy. They just settle
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: on an acceptable level of poverty. Now would comedy go
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: away completely? Absolutely, poverty would go away completely, Now, not completely,
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: There'd always be the drug addicts, the mentally retard, you know,
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: mentally ill, the people who you know who reject civilization, life, whatever,
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: and as a consequence, are now relegated, you know, the
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: homeless kind of the homeless people. You see, those people
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: would always probably always exist. But beyond that, yes, proverty
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: would be eradicated because jobs would pay so much, wealth
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: would be so high, because productivity would increase. So it
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: wouldn't take much in the United States to eradicate poverty.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: If we allowed the economy to grow. Let's say the
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: economy grew at five six percent, it wouldn't take a
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: long time for poverty to be eradicated. Certainly within a
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: generation or two, there'd be nobody in absolute poverty. And
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: you know, relative poverty there always some people have less
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: than others. But I mean, even today the poor in America,
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: what does it actually mean when you have a car
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: and an air conditioning and refrigerator, what does poverty actually mean?
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: So in terms of absolute poverty, with exception of the
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: homeless people, there's no absolute poverty in the US, and
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: if you had elizafet capitalism, they just poverty would just
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: go away by any measure, by any reasonable measure of
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: what that means. Not you have as algorithm. If you're depressed,
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: you've just given up on life, whereas if you're nihilistic,
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: you've given up up on your own life and want
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: to destroy other people's lives. Does one go from A
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: to B? I don't think so. I don't think it
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: depression leads people to de nihilism. I think it's it's
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: an anti values mentality. And a lot of denihilists are
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: nounncessarily depressed. They're not happy, but they're not necessarily depressed.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: So I think I think these are unique categories that
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: and depression can be caused by a lot of different things. Uh,
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: you know, it's it's just it's it's things could have
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: happened in your life that make you really down on
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: your own life, but not all depression is giving up
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: in life. And of course depression is reversible, and sometimes
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: depression is reversible drugs, which means there's a chemical component
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: to depression. Nihilism is an ideology, and it's it's it's
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: it's it's the relishing of destruction. It's the relishing of
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 1: pulling everybody around you down. Richard. When the government taxed billionaires,
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: I didn't speak up because I was not a billionaire.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: When they came after the millionaires, well you know where
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: this goes, fair warning? Well, of course, I mean, and
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: of course we all get taxed. I mean. The famous
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: story is when the income tax was first introduced, the
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: government promised that it would only apply to the very
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: very richest seven percent, and it was at a very
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: low rate, under ten percent for a member rate. Only
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: seven percent of Americans pay for it. And that lasted
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: a year and a half, and within three four years
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: the marginal tax rate was up to eighty percent, and
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: as everybody paid taxes. So it's always the way it starts.
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: Adam g what Trump's plan to limit companies from buying
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: single family homes temporarily and slightly drop prices due to
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: less total.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 3: Demand, even if the long term effects are more harmful.
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: God, but it's such a I don't think so, because
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: I mean it might it's in certain places around the country.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 3: But the quantity that we're talking about, the amount the
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 3: number of homes being bought by corporations is so small
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 3: it just doesn't register.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: It wouldn't change anything significantly, at least that's my understanding.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, but again with very long, bad,
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: long term consequences. Jennifer I put up I participated in
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: a paid double blind COVID vaccine study this afternoon. Here's
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: some of the money for the show. Keep up the
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: great work. Oh they paid you cool? All right, which
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: vaccine did you get? I'm curious what a vaccine you
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: got or not. You might have got the placebo. We
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: don't know. Now the question is will they expose you?
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: The conspiracy is now they'll expose you to the virus. Well,
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: actually it's too late because you've already got the chip.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: The virus came with the with the with the with
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: the chip chip in the brain. So now you're just
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: being controlled and you're under the spell of of the
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: vaccine makers.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: If you got the vaccine, I hope you don't feel
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: sick in the next day or so, because I got
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: the vaccine. Really hit me hard when I got it.
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: Adam says God could clear up this whole regular religious
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: conflict very quickly if you wanted to. He could. I know,
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: he just has to reveal himself and tell us what's
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: true and what's not. At least some locusts, fogs, anal
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: floods could speak volumes. Yes, yes, and maybe he could
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: could could relieve us of these spells and demons. I
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: wonder what his reason is for silence, A shame, so
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: much death over bs. Yeah, I mean the religious stuff
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: in the ad least the religious stuff in Techer Coulson's
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: head and other people watch Techa Coulson. I mean, God
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: could save us A lot of you know, could really
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: help out, could really help out. Wouldn't be that, wouldn't
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: be that that difficult? Just just reveal himself and as
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: you say, a little bit of locusts, right, I like numbers?
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: Were there ever any kind of power plays people who
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: wanted Peacock to pick them versus you for their own
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: political personal intrigues, et cetera. Russian nowes pick me them
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: over me? For what what was he picking? Did he
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: pick me? It was I picked? I don't know, you know,
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: I don't like Please don't ask me questions like this.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: The politics of you know, of insider objectivism, not interested
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: and not interested in really commenting on it. If I
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: I will never write a memoir but if I wrote
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: a memoir, I tell all the stories, but I'm not
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: going to, so you'll never You'll never know the stories.
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: Maybe when I'm really old and doing the show and
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: you know, and I and I can't remember that I
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: said I wouldn't talk about it, you can ask me
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: again and maybe I'll spill the beans there. The thing
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 1: is to get me when i'm you know, when I'm
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: really old and can't you know, I can't control myself
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: from speaking. I like Numbers says it was when you
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: brought up the Supreme leaders politically intrigues. Yeah, well I
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: was never Supreme Leader. God, things would be different about
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: Supreme Leader. I was never Supreme Leader of Objectivism. I
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: I try to get the title. Nobody was willing to
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: give me the title of Supreme Leader of Objectives. I mean,
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: you know, peakoff. I think at some point suggested I
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 1: might be the CEO of Objectivism, and I remember people
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 1: were very upset they objectivism didn't have a CEO, you know,
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: But Supreme Leader would have been cool. I would have
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 1: liked that title, Supreme Leader of Objectives. Maybe you could
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 1: still go for it, you think it could still become No,
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: I mean no, no, no, it was always it was
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: always jockeying. But there's always stuff going on, but nothing
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: like that. Clark other us and is well not being
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: dominant enough, the REGIMEA is not yet fallen, and the
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: Ranian people are not raising up. All that is true. Yeah,
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: but it takes time. If you're gonna do it from
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: the air and you're not copying coppet bombing, you're being selective,
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: you're bombing selectively, you're not just using B fifty twos
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: to carpet bomb everything. Then yeah, it's going to take time.
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: There's just no way to not take time, you know,
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 1: getting the effect that you want to get. So it
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: needs a few more weeks if it's going to be successful.
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: James says, how would you describe rabid anti semitism and
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 1: anti capitalism on the right other than Nazism. Well, anti
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: semitism and anti capitalism doesn't have to be Nazism, right,
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: not Nazism as particular ideology there relates to particular theory
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: around the Aryan race, not even whites, but the Aryan race.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: I don't think everybody on the right is necessarily not
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: I mean these people on the right not necessarily Nazis.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: For example, the Nazis were not as Christian in their
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: theology as many They were somewhat Christian, but different than
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: many of these people now, many of the people on
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: the right in America. So not everything fits neatly into
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: the categories that we're familiar with. There. Maybe this new
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 1: thing will be some new theory very similar to Nazism
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: in its collectivism, in its anti Semitism, it's in anti capitalism.
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: Every collectivist theory, every collectivistic theory, is going to be
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 1: anti capitalism. So it's it could be similar to Nazism
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: without being Nazism itself. A monetary vote for shows like
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 1: you had with Adam Fox this morning, I enjoyed clear
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: speaking subject matter experts, all right. I mean we've done
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: that with economists. Try to broaden it outside economics. Yep.
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 1: Liam says, what does Tucker Cossing gain from mainstreaming anti Semitism.
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: He's ready rich, What does he need Tatar's money for? Well,
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: people who are rich often want to be sure. I
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: don't know how rich he is and how much richer
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 1: he wants to become. He wants power, he wants to
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: be to control people. He also might believe it he
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: might believe it. On top of everything else, his mind
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: might have been fried already. I wouldn't be surprised, Gail says,
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: I love your sarcastic chuckle. You're on me. Sarcastic never
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: never happened in chuckling. I don't chuckle. I don't do
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: the chuckle, all right. James was the Suprene Court ruling
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: against Tariff's weak and not principled enough to stop Trump
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: and his derangement. No, I thought it was quite good.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's weak at all. But it was
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 1: one ruling over one case, over one law. That is
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: not going to stop Trump and his derangement. No, but
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: the servine courte cannot stop Trump. Only Congress and the
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: voters can stop Trump. Court can't do it. They can
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: stop on one law, one issue at a time. They
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: can stop it, but that's it. One law, one issue
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 1: at the time. They can't stop the rest of him.
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: Of him. They can't stop everything else he does that
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: Congress can do or the voters can do. Congress could
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: impeach him, kick him out office, or just pass laws
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: with veto proof majorities that limit his powers. James is
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: the Charlie kok assassination significant because it's the first time
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: an intellectual has been shot for his ideas rather than
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: a political leader. No, I don't think it's the first time.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, would you consider would you consider Martin Luther
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: King and intellectual or political leader somewhere between. No, I
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 1: think it was it was the first time in a
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: long time that we've seen a political that kind of assassination,
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: somebody shot for his ideas, who had a big following,
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: who was politically significant, And I just don't think we've
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: had that experience in America in a long long time.
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's anything more than that. And yeah, yeah,
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 1: so I don't think it's it has much significance, except yeah,
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: it was. He was a popular guy, young, charismatic shot
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: in the middle of giving a talk doing a Q
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: and A. I mean, that was that was horrible. But
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 1: Martin Luther King was not a politician. And then probably
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: and then probably others, I mean, Salomon Rushti was was
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: attacked and stabbed, wasn't actually killed. People didn't make that
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: big of a deal of that. They should have. They
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: should have. It's a travesty they didn't. And that's Iwan,
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 1: that's Iwan's fault. Right. Fatua famous fatua, Papa Gambell. The
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: right is one hundred times worse than the left could ever,
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: I hope to be well. I mean, the fall left
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 1: is pretty bad, really really really pretty bad in different ways,
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: more intellectual ways. You don't want either one to gain power.
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: I think the right is worse only because I think
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: the right is more likely to attain power over the
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: long run than the left. But there's still both horrifically evil.
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: It's like saying Nazism as rare times worse than communism.
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: Is it? It's about the same. But what's more likely
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 1: in America? Fascism or communism? I think fascism. No. Like
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: that graph of the market regulating itself in the video
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: of those two gremlins sharing the mystical epistemology is enlightening.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Yes, it's enlightening to see the mystics. I
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: like the way he said it too, Gremlins sharing the
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: mystical epistemology. Yep, all right on a tropic. Last question,
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: would regime change any round require physically deposing, disposing of
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: most members of the RGC ILGC, Well, I don't know
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 1: if most members, I don't know if you have to
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: go after all the troops, but certainly the entire leadership
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 1: or most of the leadership would have to go one
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: way or the other. And the question is who can
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: do that. I mean, Israel can take out a lot
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: of them, but they can't take them out in every town,
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 1: in every village and every They're all over the place,
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: and at some point the people are gonna have to
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: rise up and get rid of them. And that not
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: one town, not one city, has done it yet says something,
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: says something right, all right, but yeah, a lot of
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 1: RGC ILGC are going to have to die for that
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: to matter. All right, Thank you guys, thanks to all
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: the super chat is really really appreciate it. I will
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 1: be back tomorrow with more news and more updates and
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 1: more analysis and what else. I think that's it, see Autimore.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: I have a great night and have a great rest
• 1:42:15
