• 0:31
  Speaker 2: wall since I've seen you, so thank you, thank you
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: for joining me. And uh, yeah, I'm back from Europe.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Back from Europe, and uh spending a few days at home,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: not many, a few days at home. And then after Austin,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm assuming that I'll have the internet connection
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: necessary to do shows in Austin. So nick week should
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: be fine. Probably no show on Monday, but the rest
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: of the week should be fine. And then I'll be
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: in Austin for almost two weeks and then we'll go
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: from there. So May should be much more of a
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: normal month in terms of shows all the time then
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: we've had this month.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: This month, granted, has been pretty pretty lame.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: In terms of the number of shows. Anyway, let's jump
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: into the news. The big news, of course, is.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: There a deal or isn't there a deal? Is there
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: a deal? Isn't there a deal?
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Will advance go to Pakistan or will he go to
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Oman or will he not go at all? Well whit
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: cough Anyway, nobody knows, right, And the reality is that
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Trump has gone over the last few days. You know,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: one day's oh, you know, we're going to bomb them,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: and the next day, oh, we've got a deal. It's
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: one hundred percent secure deal. And actually you've got details
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: of the deal. And the deal was so detailed in
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: terms of what the United States is giving the Nians
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: that Trump felt like he had to go online and
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: try to convince people that his deal was better than
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Obama's deal because his deal, once people looked at the
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: actual details, looked a lot like Obama's deal. You remember
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Obama's deal from twenty fifteen, which Trump, you know, got
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: out of in twenty eighteen. Anyway, the deal that Trump
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: had was basically a total capitulation and acceptance of a
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: very deal very similar to Obama's deal. Instead of ten years,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: was fifteen years, but basically very similar to Obama's deal,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: same kind of process of inspection, you know, same same
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: basic idea. So yeah, I mean Trump was ready basically
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: to capitulate and give the Ranians almost everything they wanted.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, no.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Uranium in Richmond for fifteen years, but no taking the
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: uranium back, you know, opening up the Homo straits, which
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: again they.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Were open before the war started.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: You know, nothing about ballistic missiles, nothing about anything. So
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: super super super weak deal from the perspective of the
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: United States.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: And Trump knew that.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: So he went on Twitter to try to justify it
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: and say, no, no, no, it's a better deal.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I swear it's a better the best deal. Actually he said.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: It was the best deal ever in all of human
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: history that anybody had ever struck with anybody. And then
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: then if the Ranians weren't going to sign this deal,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: that it would ready been finalized. He was going to
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: go to war, and then Vance was going to go yesterday,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: and then he didn't go, and then he was definitely
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: going to go today, and you know, every few hours whipsaw, whiplash,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: and you know, basically, we've been bailed out.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: We got to bail up. We're not going to have the.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Amazing greatest deal in all of human history sell out
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: that Trump advocated for. Why, because the Ranians are stupid.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: The Ranians are so stupid and so dumb that they're
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: basically turning this deal down.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Now even in.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Iran, there's a conflict because the Foreign Minister and the
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Chairman of the Parliament, the Speaker of the Parliament supposedly,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: now you know, we don't actually know what's going on.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: In ion. He said, we want to steal.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: We should have to steal Iran's history if we don't
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: sign this steal and the Islamic Revolutionary God are saying, oh, no, Nodium,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: absolutely nothing.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: We're not agreeing to any of these terms.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Real conflict, we wod said Iran, even though they're getting
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: a lot of what they were willing to give before
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: the war started. A lot of people are criticizing Trump's
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: steel is saying, yeah, I mean Iran was basically agreeing
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: to this deal.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Before the war started. What was the wolf for.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Luckily, it seems like the Islamic of Revolutionary God is
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: getting their way and therefore the Iranians are not sending
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: not sending peace emissaries to Pakistan to meet with Vance.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: So Vance for now, the latest headline is the Advance
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: is pausing his trip, pausing a trip.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: And indeed all.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: The front posse big shots were meeting in the White
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: House a bit a go to try to figure out
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: what's next. Trump has basically given the Iranians a deadline
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: of tomorrow evening East coast time, So we still have
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: another day of suspense.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: And but.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: You know, we will see, We will see what happens tomorrow.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: In the meantime, I will say the military has prepped
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: in a sense that they are sending massive amounts of
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: equipment to the Gulf States in preparation for a round two.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: I guess of the war, which should should start tomorrow night.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: You know, we'll see.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I think I think the target right now for these
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: ray leaves, and they should be I mean the first
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I mean two things.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: One is.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Kill the leaders of the Islamic revolution he got whoever
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: the people who are left mainly the guy leading the
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Islamic revolutionary got Vahidi something like that.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Who is who is a really bad guy?
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: I would say, I hope, I really really hope this
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: that the Israelis and the Americans can kill the moderates,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: kill the people who might sign a deal with Trump,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: because I really do think at this point the worst
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: outcome of the war would be a deal, would be
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: a deal. So get rid of the people who might
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: sign a deal. And then the second thing they need
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: to do. And my guess is this is what they'll
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: do first, and they'll do this with a lot of
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: force on day one. Now again I always say, I
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: always think, okay, this makes sense, they should do this
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: on day one, and then a week later they figured,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: oh why didn't we do that on day one?
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: And here what I think they need to do.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Is is take out all the openings of the tunnels
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: where the ballistic missiles are stored that the Iranians have
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: opened up before they can launch a fresh set of
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: attacks on the Gulf States and on Israel. The Uranians
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: have been very busy during this ten day eleven day
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: now cease fire in opening up all the openings to
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: the tunnels so that they can get the ballistic missiles
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: and the ballistic missile launches out so that as soon
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: as the ceasefire is over, they can launch a significant
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: barrage of rockets into Israel or into the Gulf States.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: So the first target should be and it should happen
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: very very very early, and it should be done stealthily
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: before the Iranians can launch anything. Is to destroy whatever
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: whatever openings they've opened up, whatever places they can launch
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: farm should be destroyed, right.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: So you know, we'll see.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Of course, the blockade on Iran continues, the blockade on
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: all shipping. The United States over the weekend actually dismantled
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: the ship. A ship was trying to escape the blockade.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: The US Navy destroyed its I guess it's engine. It
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: stopped it from being able to move. Marines landed aboard
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: the ship and took control of it. I think another
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: ship today was again dismantled and boarded. So the blockade
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: of Iranian ships is almost complete.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: But at the flip.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Side of that, and this again was like a whip
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: saw one day. The streets of Homos will open one day.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: The Uranians were closing, and then they opened it again,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: and then they closed it again. But basically states of
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: almost stay closed. And really the next big thing is
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: other Americans gonna open the states of Homos? Are they
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: going to go in there and use military force to
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: open it? And I guess we'll have to say, I
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: really don't, I really don't know's it's very uh, it's
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: very hard to tell at this point. I mean, that
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: should have been the first thing or one of the
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: first things they did in the first round. And the
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: fact that they didn't and the fact that they haven't,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Are they afraid, do they not have
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: the equipment, do they not have the troops? It's Trump
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: afraid of the General's afraid. I don't know exactly what's
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: going on and what is preventing the states of Homos
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: from being opened, but that I assume will be one
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: of the first things that they do, and that might
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: involved landing troops in on some of the islands and uh,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: you know, using those islands to destroy any capacity that
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: the Ranians have to srupt traffic.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: They obviously do, they're still launching missiles. Uh.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: The US Force Navy need to destroy the capacity to
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: hood shipping.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: In the gulf, in the Persian Gulf.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: The biggest obstacle to you know, to to for this
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: war to be clearly in American victory. The biggest obstacle
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: for for winning this and making indecisive and getting on
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: with life. The biggest obstacle for all of that is
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: basically Trump. I mean, he's indecisive, He panics, he's he's
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: he has bouts of of of you know, hysteria, and
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: he's I think he's a coward, and he's afraid of
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: the consequences.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: During the ceasefire and over the weekend.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: As Trump was saying I've got a deal, I've got
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: a deal, I've got a deal, the stock market kept
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: going up and up all last week and then yesterday,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: and it was up nicely this morning with expectation that
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Dvance was leaving to negotiate. And then as information came
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: in the Advance that the negotiation was probably not going
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: to happen, the deal is probably not going to happen,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: the stock market went down, and I guess the final
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: use of postponing Dvance's trip to Pakistan hit just before
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: the close. And you see in the last few minutes
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: the stock market doing like this, just going down. At
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: the same time, all prices We've been following oil in
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: this program for a while, all prices were way down.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: I mean they were as low as eighty seven earlier
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: today and have been trading. I mean on Friday they
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: hit seventy nine, seventy nine and a half, all on
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: the basis of there was a deal. Trump was writing
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: that there was a deal, it was a done deal.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: I mean again, all traders are being whips whipsawd here.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Right now.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Oil is trading at eighty nine point fifty four and
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: again just before close of trading eighty nine point seventy seven.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: It's sticking upwards as a consequence of the fact that
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: maybe there wasn't a deal. Remember it was mid nineties
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: before discussions of a deal happened.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: So, I mean Trump is just he's so.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Eager to capitulate, and luckily the Unians don't want it
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: to capitulate or want want complete capitulation. I mean, they
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: want so much that even Trump won't give it to them.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: So Trump is not threatening more of your strikes tomorrow
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: once the cease fire ends. But as late as earlier today,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: just a little bit ago, he was telling CNBC that
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: he expects you used to make.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: A great deal with you on.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: So every few hours you get a different message, a
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: different message from the Trump, the Trump and Trump administration. Again,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: in Iran, you're seeing a similar situation with the President
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: of Yuan emphasizing that the conflict benefits no one, not us,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: not the other side, not the region, calling for a
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: polematic path, calling for a deal. I think he would
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: assigned Trump's deal, but the IOGC.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Is not letting him do that.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Kushna and Witkoff will also seen at the White House
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: in this meeting earlier, you know, about an hour ago,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: to decide what the next steps are. So we will
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: see what comes of that. In the meantime, they're not
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: going to Pakistan. That is the next step. Yeah, I mean,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Iran Is just keeps emphasizing I think they've discovered the
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Straits of homost of their real weapon. They're actually probably
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: giving willing to give up uranium enrichment if they can
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: keep security control over the Straits of Homos. Trump has
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: to insist of a complete opening of the straits. But
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter, right, God, it doesn't matter. There's no
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: deal that can be done. This is the point. Let's
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: say they agree that they to open up the States
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: of Homos and they do it, but now they know
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: the Iranians know that anytime they want to, they can
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: close the straits, and the United States has shown that
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: they're unwilling to do it. Sincessarty open them, and Iran
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: has to believe maybe they don't know how to, maybe
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: they can't, maybe they're too afraid to take casualties. In
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: other words, they have a card forever. They will have
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: this dangling over the United States and the Gulf States.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: The only way to win this at this point, the
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: only way to achieve any kind of victory in the
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: One Iran is to open the streets by force, to
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: show it can be done, and more importantly, that you
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: have the will to do it. Imagine a Chinese watching
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: this and think to themselves, ooh, won't fight. They'll bump
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: from the air. But when it comes to actual engagement
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: where they might suffer.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Casualties, they won't fight.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: That is unbelievable information for the Chinese to have in
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: terms of what they are planning for Taiwan or for
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: any other aggressive activity against youis interests if there's a
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: risk of American casualties, America won't fight.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: So there's a article on the Warsti Journal what happened
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: to this articon the Warsti Journal a few days ago
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: over the weekend that basically kind of looks more deeply
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: into unto Donald Trump and his management of the war.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: You know, he talks a big talk we're gonna destroy
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: your civilization, We're gonna crush you, We're gonna do this,
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: We're gonna do that.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: But the article reveals.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: It's a real sense a panic, a real hysteria in how,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: at least at times, Trump is running the world. Do
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: you remember the episode of the pilot being shut down
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: and the mission to retrieve both the pilot and then
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: the co pilot navigator, And you know the great efforts
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: that the US went to retrieve them, and the incredible
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: ability of special Forces and the CIA to get him well.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: During this operation, which lasted almost a couple of days,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Trump was not allowed in the operations room. He was
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: kept out by his own people because they didn't know
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: how it would behave, They didn't know how.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: It would handle.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: They didn't want to risk his frantic, irrational decision making.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Here's what happened.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Shortly after the President learned an American jet had been
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: shot down in Iran with two air men missing. Quoting
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: for this article in The Wall Street Journal published April eighteenth,
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Trump screamed at AIDS for hours. The appears aren't helping,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: he said repeatedly. Gas prices averaged over four dollars. Images
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: of the nineteen seventy nine Iran hostage crisis, one of
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: the biggest international policy f alias of a presidency in
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: recent time, had been looming large in his mind.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: You know he you know.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Trump demanded that the military go get them immediately, but
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: the US hadn't been on ground in Iran since the
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: government overthrow that led to the hostage crisis.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: This is seventy.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Nine, and they needed to figure out how to get
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: into treacherous Iranian territory terrain and avoid Tehran's own military
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Aids kept the President out of the room as they
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: got minute by minute update updates because they believed his
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: impatience wouldn't be helpful, Instead updating him at a meaningful moment,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: a senior you know, a senior administration told these reporters.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: One aminers recovered quickly, but it wasn't until late Saturday
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: that Trump perceived would that the second am had been
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: rescued in.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: A high stakes extraction.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: You know, if he hadn't, he could have been the
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: low point in Trump's presidency. Six hours later, the chest
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: thumping president was back with another audacious gamble to loosen
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Iwon's grip on the most powerful point of leverage, the
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: straight as homos, open the fucking streets, you crazy bastards,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: or you'll be living in hell, he blasted on social media.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: East of the morning from the White House residency, adding
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: an Islamic prayer to the post. He's completely unpredictable, completely manic,
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: driven by fear. And this is why they never sought
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: to open the Homost straits. Because he's afraid of taking casualties.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: He's afraid of having to face the American people when
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: soldiers are being hit. He's afraid of ordering troops into
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: harm's way. He's afraid they'll be injured or dead. He's
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: afraid of the kind of fiasco that Jimmy Carter encountered.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: If you remember in nineteen seventy nine when an attempt
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: to rescue the hostages went bad and helicopters crash and
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: and you know, and special Forces troops died. He is
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: an unbalanced personality. He is a crazy man. This is
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: not a man who should be running a war. This
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: is not a man who should be in the presidency. Remember,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: you know, he is impulsive and emotional, and impulse and
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: emotion have no place in any decision making. But war
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: is the most critical, the most.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: You know, a scary of all actions that a state
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: can take.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: It's exactly in these times that you need sober, rational,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: focused minds.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: And that is not Trump. That is not Trump.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: His craziness is undermining the warning won Now, maybe it's
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: only him because he's crazy that would have gone to
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: a warn ivan, But the reality is that once he went,
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: he can't handle it.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: He just can't handle it.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: He doesn't have the mental and emotional stability capability.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Of doing it.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: And it really does seem that as he gets older,
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: and as the stress and there's excitements and the stress intensifies,
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: he is falling apart. Remember the tweet that he put out,
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: back again. I don't want that to happen, but it
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: probably will. However, now that we have complete and total
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: regime change with different, smarter and less radicalized minds prevail,
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: maybe something revolutionary wonderful can happen.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Who knows.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: We will find out tonight one of the most important
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: moments in the line complex history of the world. Forty
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: seven years of extortion, corruption and death would finally end.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: And what happened. A cease fire was announced and negotiations started.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Negotiations the wind will nowhere unsurprising at all because there's
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: nothing to talk about.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Again.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Luckily for all of us, the Ranians don't want to compromise.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: They don't want to give in, and they they think
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Trump is weak.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: They're right. They think that he can push a few buttons.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: He might capitulate. He might. I don't know what he
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: will do. I think luckily the Iranians.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Don't want to compromise, and the Gulf States want the
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: wa to continue, want this to be done with, wants
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: the street of almost to be opened, and they are
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: putting pressure on Trump to do so.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Without them, I think he would have already capitulated.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's going to be interesting to see what happens.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: And of course, if the bombing starts up again, He's
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: going to be mad and furious at the Europeans again
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: because they're not coming to the aid to open up
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: the streets of homoes. The whole discussion about Levi NATO
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: opens up again, and.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the wall.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Seagennal again reports that the President, President and his advisers
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: were caught off guard. The tanker traffic would grind to
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: hold so quickly after the bombing began during the war,
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: but it was completely predictable.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: This show predicted it.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: That is the one leverage you on has, all right.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Just to give you give you a little bit more
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: color on the rescue operation again for twenty four hours
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: over Easter weekend.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: This is from an article.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Trump's team dialed into the situation room. Vice President JD.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Vans from Camp David Wiles that Susie Wilds from home
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: in Florida.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: So they were they were.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: They were in a situation room in the sense they
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: received almost minute by minute progress reports of the military
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: entering Iran, the rescue plans getting stuck in the sand. Remember,
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: the planes couldn't take off. The efforts to distract the Iranians.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: They called the last airman by a code name. Trump
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: wasn't included in the meeting, but received updates by phone.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: After Trump's subsequent threat to destroy Uranian civilization, White House
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: officials talked to Pakistani counterparts about mediating a ceasefires. It's
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: America who initiated the talks of ceasefire because they were
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: afraid of what.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Trump might do.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Trump was too mad at the Europeans for any of
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: them to serve the role, administration officials said. As the
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: world waited on the president's eight PM deadline end of
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: civilizations Ranian civilization.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Trump flitted between topics. Age said, he.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Talked officials about endorsements in an Indian state, you know,
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Indiana state race his team prepped for the mid terms.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: He listened to officials talk about cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence policy.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: He also asked Wiles and Stephen Whitcoff, the US chief
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: negotiated with Ron, where things stood, pushed them to deal.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: He told Witcoff repeatedly, Yeah, all right, that is that.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: That is Trump in times of.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Stress, scary. This is the command in chief.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: He has nuclear codes, He has the ability to deploy
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: the mightiest military force in human history.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: How when where Willie won't?
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: It really is an insane situation, an insane situation, all right?
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: One final issue around Iran. You constantly hear people say that,
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: you know, Evan's not a nuclear threat after all.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, give me a break, they say.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Nitaaniello has been threatening, has been threatening that Iran will
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: develop a bomb within two months for fifteen years. I
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: mean we've been hearing it over and over and over again,
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: and where's the bomb? It never came. So why should
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: we believe him now? Why should we believe the administration now?
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: According to Nitaaniello in Israeli's Iwan has been months away
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: from building a bomb for decades. He warned about it
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: repeatedly at the United Nations. He warned about it in
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: front of Congress, and no bomb ever came.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: So obviously, obviously he's been lying. He's been lying. Chuck said,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Trump did exactly what you want. No, he didn't.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to cease fire. I didn't want negotiations.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: I wanted the regime crushed. I wanted power plants taken out.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: I wanted I wanted, you know, a continuation of the
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: bombing until the regime crumbled and you know, it was destroyed.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: I wanted the States of HomeOS opened in the first week,
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: advocated for it.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Trump didn't do it. So what are we talking about.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Trump didn't do what I wanted.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: He went a war, but a pathetic one, and kept
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: negotiating and kept flip flopping. So he you know, sometimes
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: sometimes it's better to stay home. I said this years
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: and years ago, decades, a couple of twenty years ago.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: I said, if.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: You're not going to win, if you're not going to
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: war to win, don't go to war, because the damage
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: you'll do by not winning is greater than just not
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: going to war. As bad as that outcome is not
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: going to war, the damage done by going to war
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: not winning is greater.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: So Trump went to war, didn't go to win, though,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: So what's the point? I think these as wanted to win.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: DJ don't have the capacity to completely devastate the Iranians,
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: and they were starting to and Trump stopped them. They
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: were bombing the gas if you remember the power plants.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: They completely eviscerated Iran's still capacity, steel manufacturing capacity, They
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: were about to visuate their petrochemical capacity, and Trump kept
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: stopping them.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: So no, Trump, Trump did not do what I wanted
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: at all at all.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: And I've said that from day one I was happy
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: he went to war under the assumption that they would
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: go to win. All right, anyway, So this nuclear the
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: whole idea is that any month now we'll have.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: A nuclear bomb and it never happens.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Well, this is what the Masad chief formal Mastach chief
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: said about the Iranian nuclear program. He said, the car
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: has about twenty five thousand parts, and if even one
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: hundred are missing, the car isn't going anywhere. A nuclear
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: program has far more moving pieces.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: It's more than twenty five thousand.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Massage's job is to make sure Ewon never has all
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: of them. So there's a sense in which is absolutely true.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Iran has been months away from nuclear bomb over and
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: over and over again, and the most Sad and Israel
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: have you been doing everything that they can to stop
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: them from doing it.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: I'll give you just a few examples, but this has
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: happened regularly. I've seen even I've seen many people against
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: the war saying, ah, there's no threat.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Look, they never developed them on.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: They didn't develop them because Israel didn't let them. Israel
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: stopped them over and over and over and over again.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: In twenty ten, Israel in the United States unleased stucksnet.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: This is a cyber weapon, first one used actually in history.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: It destroyed over one thousand centrifuges at the Nan Knots
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Nuclear facility and set Iran's nuclear program back years. You
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: need centrifuges in order to get the uranium to refine
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: it to be able to using a bomb. Stuck snet.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: It's called you can look it up st u x
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: and et. It's just one example. Before that, there was
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: the example. But ten to twenty twenty, what Sad systematically
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: assassinated Ewan's top nuclear scientists one after the other, many
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: of them in the hearts of Tehran, but some of
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: them even outside of Tehivan, even in Europe. In twenty eighteen,
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: Nitienneo reveals the secret nuclear archives Mosad stole straight out
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: of Tehran warehouse in one of the most stunning operations I've.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Ever heard of.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Straight out of the warehouse, he stole all the plants.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: They went in and took all this and these documents
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: all proved the lie that the Iranians were not developing
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: a nuclear program. The plans were there. Twenty twenty twenty one,
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: multiple sabotage operations, explosions in the knots, explosions, blackouts, entire
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: scent a fuge halls wiped out, you know, special ops,
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: Mossad agents. Twenty twenty one is really the drones hit
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: the Karas sent a huge manufacturing facility. In twenty twenty
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: four to twenty five, directors really strikes hammer Iran's nuclear
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: military sites, assassinating key commanders and scientists. And by the way,
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: before twenty ten, you know, once in a while a
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: plane would fall.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Out of the sky in Iran.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: A you know, a most scientists, scientists would be killed
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: or die somewhere mysteriously in Europe. Israel's been taking care,
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: taking care of eliminating their capacity on an ongoing basis.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: And this is just the stuff we know, just the
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: stuff we know. So you can make fun of Nataniel
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: saying youan is months away from a nuclear bomb, but
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: the reality is that if not for Israel, if not
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: for the Mosade, they would have had a bomb by now.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: All right, that.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Is what I have about Ran. Let's see what did
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: I want to say at this point. Hey, you guys
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: are doing great on the super chat. Thank you, guys,
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: really really really appreciate it. We're pooh just close to
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: our second hour goal. That's great, so I appreciate it.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Thank you. All Right, we'll get to questions in a
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: little while. All right. One of the.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, one of the challenges the Democratic Party is
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: going to have.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: In basically.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: Becoming the majority party in the United States given the
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: lack of popularity of Donald Trump, is their own fall left.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Americans hate the fall left.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: They hate Woke, the hate DEI, they hate ESG, they
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: hate the stuff that the fall left always comes up with.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: Americans don't generally approve of you know, the trance movement
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: and the as a movement right and of you know
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: the demonstrations, the pajamas demonstrations out there. And the Democrats
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: have a real problem on their fall left, which I
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: think Americans will ultimately reject, and they're trying to figure
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: out what to do.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: About it as reclined.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: A left of center Democratic Moderate pro Abundance came out
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: last week with a column saying Democratic Party is big enough,
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: to big enough tent to embrace Hassan Piker and a Sunpika. Really, really,
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: at least with regard to many issues by Mili Faun,
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: policy defines the fall left, defines the fall left. I mean,
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: what characterizes Sunpika? This guy who lungs according to his
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: a client. In the big tent of the Democratic Party,
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: you know, the question of how big of a tent
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: should they have, Just like in the Republican Party, there's
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: a debate how bigs the Republican Party be and what
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: is the place of people like Tecker, Carlson and Nick
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: More importantly, even more so Nick foyents can to so
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: on in this big tent. Same conversation is happening on
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: the left. We'll see that in many respects, it's worse
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: on the left. So here's the sun Piker, right, this
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: is some of the things that you believe in.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: And then I'll actually.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: Show you a video of him that I think really
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: tells you everything.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Oops you need to know about him. Fully that work? Okay,
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: let's see.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: So sun Pika argued in August twenty nineteen that the
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: United States deserved nine to eleven. When someone challenged him
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: online about anti Israel rants. In October twenty twenty three,
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: Piker applied, you fucking baying pig, you fucking bloodthirsty, violent
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: pig dog. In the same stream as his nine to
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: eleven remark, Piker praised al Qaeda terrorists who disfigured Representative
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: ben Dan Crenshaw. You know, Dan Crenshaw has a patch
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: on his eye that's from fighting al Qaeda.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Quote, what the fuck is wrong with this dude?
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: Didn't he go to war and like literally lose his
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: eye because some of jahidin a brave fucking soldier, fucked
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: his eyehole with their dick.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: This is the guy Ezra Client thinks as part of
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: the big tent.
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, whatever you think of Dan Crenshaw is one
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: of the better Republican congressman out there. This is the
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: way you talk and you praise the Mujahidin. I mean,
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: but it doesn't stop there, right. Paika valorized Luigi Mangione,
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: the killer of the of the health insurance CEO. He
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: labeled him an adventurer. He's praised the Chinese Communist Party
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: and denied there is any kind of problem with the
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: Uga Muslim minority, like no concentration camps, no, nothing like that.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: He says there's a lot we can learn from China
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: from how they run their country. I'm sure he'd liked
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: some social scores. He justified Russia's annexation of Crimea. He says,
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: I call it part of Russia territory. Bitch, I call
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: it Crimea river, a Russian river.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: You know, he's a he's a big believer in Beijing.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: He is hailed mau Stong and called just recently when
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: just recently he basically declared that was it exactly his words.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: The fall of the Soviet Union, the breakup of the
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: Soviet Union was one of you know, the most horrific
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: things that have happened, was the tragedy.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let me just uh, let me just find this.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: I know I've got it here anyway. Uh yeah, yeah there.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: He declared the fall of the USSR was one of
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: the greatest catastrophes of twentieth century.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: You know who else said that? Led me? A putin?
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: Right, he thought, you know, he told viewers that Maltstung
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: is one of the great leaders of this world. Maltstung
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: who public killed twenty to forty million Chinese. Twenty to
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: forty million Chinese. He lies constantly about Israel. He praises Libella.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: He's a huge fan of Hamas and wars a Kafia.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: In a discussion about Hamas and Israel, he has said
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: he would vote for Hamas a thousand times over Israel anytime.
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: This is a you know, this is guy who is
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: belongs in the big democratic tent. He is interviewed by
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: all the left wing podcasters and not challenged. In a
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: very similar way, Nick Foyintis is not challenged. Uh he
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: spouts lies. In a recent podcast, he spouted lies about
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: Einstein's supposed hatress of Zionism, which is just untrue.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: And he's a he's just.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: A you know, just a disgusting human being, a socialist.
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: Uh A, you know, real apologist for communism, an apologist
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: for the Chinese regime and authoritarian hate of Israel, and
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: to justify a mass rape and slaughter that happened on
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: October seventh, the fends Bala, which is dedicated to nothing
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: but the destruction of the state of Israel and the
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: killing of Jews and a destroyer.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: Of Lebanon. That's Hassan Piker.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: That's who the Democrats will include in their Big ten.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: I want to give you one more clip of Hassan
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: Pika just so you get, you know, a bit more
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: of a sense of his I don't know, personality.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: We'll call it. Yeah, we got it there, all right.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: This is a clip of him responding to something I
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: don't even know exactly what she said.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: This is.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: This is a woman, a Vietnamese woman who left right left.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: He's a left Saigon when South Vietnam fell, So she's
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: a Vietnamese refugees. This is what Hassan Pika says about her.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, just note the language and we believe that.
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: Okay, you dude, I mean, seriously, few old lady, shut
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: the fuck up, you stupid, fucking, idiotic old lady with
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: your stupid gamer head set who is a few harder
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: America or can hoach you min suck my old lady, dude,
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: go this refugee Okay, seriously, this South.
• 46:29
  Speaker 5: Vietnamese motherfcking whatever like Christian supremacist, psychotic and refugee living
• 46:36
  Speaker 5: in America now and able to talk that. I want
• 46:39
  Speaker 5: you to go back and live in South Vietnam in
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: the same conditions. If that's your perspective.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: I don't usually risk.
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: That's who is unbelievably popular on the left, unbelievably be
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: popular on the left, and.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: You know, being embraced by people I guess.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: Reclient by moderates in the Democratic Party, including him in
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: their tent. I mean, you gotta have some Paika and
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: you get Tucker Calson.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: This is the options.
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: Now, these are the choices, or Nick foyenttis hasan pika
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: and Nick foyentis these are the choices.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: And here's the difference. As much as I hate to
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: say it, it's true.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: The Democratic Party is quite happy to embrace asan Pika
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: and the Republican Party is reluctant to embrace Nick for
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: it it is as a party, it's reluctant. And now
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: even Trump is attacking Tucker Calson. Now, I don't think
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: that will hold. I think over time he'll be embraced.
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: But right now the Democratic Party is embracing anti Semites,
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: communist freaks. The Republican Party is still hesitant, it's still reluctant.
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: And in that context, we got a good demonstration of
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: that earlier this week again last week when in Michigan
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: the the there was a convention and the Michigan Democratic
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: Party convention where they were voting on a Michigan Democratic
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: regent for the University of Michigan system. And the existing
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: regent was a guy named Jonathan Jordan Aker, who is
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: who is Jewish, who is the incumbent regent was voted out,
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: but not just voted out right, I mean anti Semitic
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: slurs will yelled at him, you know, Chrismaela flags were
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: flown during the convention and in instead they voted in
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: Amir Macleed, I mean Macleed is a will be the
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: Democratic Party nominee for the University of Michigan Board of Regions.
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: This is a guy who is called Jews demons who lie, cheat,
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: murder and blackmail. He shed an isis origin slur about Jews.
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: He's amplified calls to ban us from Congress. He's praised
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: LA figures as martyrs. He boosted Cassan Solimani. You remember
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: that guy, that head of the Kutz Force, now I
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: RGC that Trump had killed in.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: His first term. Now he's deleted at all.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: Right, he's deleted all that, But everybody knows who he
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: is and what he stands for. If you watch the
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: actual convention, you can see, uh, you know, the the
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: horrific uh, the you know, the Risbala flags, the anti
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: Semitic stuff.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: It is really really really spooky.
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: And this is at the at the convention. This is
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: to nominate somebody. Again, we'll see how Democrats deal with this. Today,
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: Alan Dosho, Alan Duschwitz a long, long, long time, I
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: think his whole life, he's been a Democrat. Today announced
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: he was leaving the Democratic Party and moving to the
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: Republican Party because of this explicit anti Semitism that has
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: been embraced by so many within the Democratic Party. Just
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: to give you one other example, in the undergraduate student
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: government at UCLA, this I guess today condemned an event
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: featuring a freed hostage from Gauze. They said the event
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: reflected a troubling disregard for Palestinian lives. He was kidnapped
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: from the music festival on October seventh, twenty twenty three.
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: And you know, the statement says, what we are from
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: the humanity of all people impacted by violence. We reject
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: the selective platforming narratives that obscure the broader reality of
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: ongoing state violence. Israel as currently continuing to carry out
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: what is widely identified by human rights advocates as genocide
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: in Gaza, while also expanding its illegal military campaign its Eleban.
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: In this context, elevating a single narrative absence of critical
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: political and humanitarian framing, serves to legitimize and normalize these
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: ongoing atrocities. Institutional sponsorship of this event reflects a troubling
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: disregard for Palestinian life and contributes the campus climate in
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: which Palestinians, as a Muslim students are further marginalized, silenced,
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: and harmed. We're talking about hostage coming to tell his
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: story at the universities and all of this. And this
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: is not by some radical left student organization. This is
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: the Undergraduate Student Associated Council. This is the council representing
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: undergraduate students at UCLA.
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: We're entering a very very very dangerous time, very very
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: very dangerous.
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: Time in which anti Semitism is right on the left
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: and on the right, but in the Democratic Party.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: It's in the party.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: Right, You've got you've got the squad in Congress, You've
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: got you've got actual members of Congress advocating for this.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: Now there's some wacky Republicans as well. It's it's making life.
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: It's it's it's gonna make this country. It's going to
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: be very very difficult to figure out how to vote
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: in this country, and for the two political parties to
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: figure out how takes glude the.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: Nutcases, how to exclude the nutcases.
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: We will see, all right, somebody is saying, here we go, Yeah,
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: I mean here it is.
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: Here's Trump capitulation. God, it just joins me. Nuts.
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: This is a statement just issued a few minutes ago,
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: based on the fact that the government of view On
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: is seriously fractured, not unexpectedly so, and upon the request
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: of Field Marshal as Simunir of the Prime Minister Shibbas
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: Sharif of Pakistan, we've been asked to hold our attack
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: on the country of view on until such time as
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: the leaders and representatives can come up with a unified proposal.
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: It's just I don't know, it's just creepy. This guy
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: is creepy.
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: I have there for director.
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: I'm militivy to continue the blockade and in all other
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: respects remain ready and able and will therefore extend the
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: cease fire until such time as their proposal is submitted
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: and discussions are concluded one way or the other.
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: Now, note that from the beginning of the cease fire.
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: From the beginning of the cease fire, Iwan has violated
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: it because the condition of cease fire was the opening
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: of the states of Homoes, and since the beginning of
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: the cease fire, the states of Homos have been closed closed.
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: Israel in the United States have fulfilled their part of
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: the cease fire, indeed have uped it because Israel has
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: stopped attaching Chrismala in Lebanon. They announced the ceasefire in
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: order to appease Trump cease fire. Iwan has ignored the
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: cease fire completely on the most important issue. They've kept
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: the states of Hoemos closed. It is mind boggling, frustrating.
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: You want to rip your hair out and all the consequence,
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: all the consequence of the fact that the United States
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: would not use force to open the streets of homoes.
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, God, is that can you enable the Irenians?
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: They need more than this.
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: This is exactly what I said about maybe it would
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: have been better not to go to ward all.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: Than to do what he is doing.
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: He is weakening America's stance in the world, weakening.
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: America's position.
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: You know, peace through strength, war through weakness, and what
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: Trump is doing unbelievably weak.
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: Not the advantage we have.
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: Is that our enemies are weak as well, like Russia
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: right now is being pounded by the Ukrainians, and I
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: don't think China has an appetite to go to war
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is about as bad as it gets.
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: Cease fire conditions on the ceasefire, they ignore those conditions,
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: You let them off the hook on that. Then they
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: won't negotiate, and the ceasefire is about to end, so
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: you extend it indefinitely, indefinitely until they come up with
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: a proposal. This is so frigging evil, really hard to comprehend.
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: Stupid and evil. This really is Donald Trump, Ladies and gentlemen,
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: for those of you who are still fans. I don't
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: get it. I don't get it.
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, you would think that after his behavior over
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: the last two weeks.
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: Nobody would be a fan of his.
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: But my guess is there's still some out there in
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: the world of objectivism claiming he's the greatest president.
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: Of human history. I mean, the brigade is great.
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: Why didn't why didn't the institute duplicate in day one
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: of the war? By now it will be over because
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: he didn't have a plan, because he didn't think strategically,
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: how come you will be bombing you on and yet
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: letting their ships go in and out of port. Again,
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: this is not difficult. I said this at the time
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: I commented on it. I was shocked even then that
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: Uranian ships were doing whatever they want in the streets
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: of Homost.
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: Everybody else was blocked. It's yeah, I mean.
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: The regime might fall just because it's staking such a
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: big hit, because the economy is in Tata's it's you know,
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: positives might still come out of this, and I'm hopeful,
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: and I still think ultimately the Ranians will have to
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: overthrow this regime. And maybe it's the military. I don't
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: know who will do it. Iwan is getting poor by
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: the day. Yes, the blockade is something I wanted, but
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: I also wanted the opening of the streets. He's got
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: the blockade, no opening, and negotiate, negotiate, negotiat negotiate blockade
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: plus bombing. Now that could bring down the regime. Yeah,
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: I mean he might be playing seven D chess.
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: That is true. That is true.
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: All right, let's do these couple of stories quickly. See
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: the United States begun this week yesterday to refund up
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: to one hundred and sixty six billion billion with a
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: b in tariffs they will charge under President Trump's illegal,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: illegal teriff regime last year. Beginning yesterday, businesses can file
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: claims through a new custom system. Over three hundred and
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: thirty thousand importers across fifty three million shipments expected to
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: be eligible. Once approved, refunds plus interest will be paid
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: within sixty to ninety days. I wonder how susceptible this
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: system is. The fraud the government's handing out one hundred
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: and sixty six billion dollars, you'd think they'd be an incentive,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: be an incentive to figure out how to defraud the system.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but in three, four, five years, we'll
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: be here. Will we hear about all kinds of businesses
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: they've got big refunds who never paid the tariff. I
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised. In the meantime, Donald Trump is saying
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: that he'd really prefer if companies didn't file. He said
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: until today on CNBC he said, it's brilliant. If they
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: don't do that, file for a refund. If they don't
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: do that, I'll remember them. In other words, in particular Amazon, Apple,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: if they don't file for a refund, Trump will will
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: smile upon them.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: He'll be nice to them. So, yeah, there is a
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: web portal out.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: There where importers can file for refunds. One hundred and
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: sixty six billion dollars flowing from the treasury to the
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: coffers of the importers.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: The thing is, the importers are not going to.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: Use that money to refund you who paid the tariff
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: some of them. This will be your windfall for them,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: because some of them passed on on the cost.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: To you, others didn't. I mean, this is a complete mess,
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: but just another another of the mild, mild consequences of
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: the whole tariff stupidity To begin with. All right.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: In addition, we've talked about this once, but it's it's
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: worth reminding you.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: A lot of the a lot of.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: The tariff repayments are going to be made to Treasury
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: of the Commerce Secretary of the Commas Secretary Howard Lutnik,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: not to him, but to his sons, because what happened
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: was his sons actually went to companies, importers and told them,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: we'll give you twenty cents and the dollar to buy
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: the right.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: To the tariff.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: Refunds before the Supreme Court ruled, so when there was
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: unsutty about whether the refunds would happen. Indeed, it appears
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: that Lutnik sons are going to make one hundred.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: Million dollars over the on the on.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: The tariff refunds, which you know, they they they they
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: bought a discounted rate.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: Lutnik. I mean, that's quite a deal. That's quite a deal.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: Finally, some good news Patriot pink. Creatic cancer pancreat cancer
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: is one of those deadly cancers. There is Steve, Steve
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: Jobs I think that died from pancreatic cancer. It used
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: to be the pancreatic cancer diagnosis was a death diagnosis,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: there was nothing that could be done.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: You were likely to die.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: There were some versions of it that maybe you could
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: be cured through surgery if it were caught very very early.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: But the other thing about pancreatic cancer is there are
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: very few symptoms early, so it's unlikely to catch it early,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: and by the time it is caught.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: Usually it's just a death sentence. Well, when was it yesterday?
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: Two patriotic cancer treatment studies.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: You know, dropped and they're quite encouraging or very very
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: very encouraging.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: Biointech, remember biointech. Biointech is the other guys who came
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: up Guy a Goal. It's a couple of Turkish immigrants
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: to Germany. Biointech it was the company that developed MNA
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: vaccines for Piser for COVID.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: They were the ones who actually did the science.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: Fiser did the manufacturing and marketing, but it was bio
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: Intic that actually did the science to produce the m
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: NA vaccine for COVID. Anyway, Bioantic mRNA neo antigen vaccine
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: for cancer was given to a number of participants in
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: a study and nearly all the people who got it
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: are still alive.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: At y s six.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: What the vaccine did is it taught the body's own
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: immune system to kill the cancer cells. The immune system
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: learned to see a cancer it had always been blind to.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: So one of the reasons pantriatic cancer was so deadly
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: was that the body didn't identify it, didn't see it,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: and before it kept spending here.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: The MR and A in a.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: Sense teaches, not quite teaches, but but trains the T
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: cell to recognize the cancer cell as bad and to
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: fight it themselves.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if this is yeah, I don't know.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 4: So.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: That is the first study.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: So now mL and A vaccine teaches the body to
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: fight off cancer itself. Pancreatic cancer six years alive at
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: six years that is an astounding number given the deaths
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: from patriotics. Cancer usually happened very very quickly. A second
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: treatment Derek Son rescib Derek Son recive.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know what that is, disease control.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: And again thirteen percent or a significant number of patients
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: significant number of patients UH survived through year five and
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: UH anyway, two different treatments showing the potential for survivability
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: from being creatic cancer, both with a potential application for
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: all for other cancers as well. But you know, it's
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: really is a great It was a great day for science,
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: for medicine. I think this is only going to accelerate,
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: and generally the most interesting treatment seem to be immuno
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: therapy treatments, that is, treatments that stimulate your own T cells,
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: your own you know, cancer fighting or disease fighting immunity
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: to fight the cancer itself. So instead of loading you
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: up with external chemicals chemical you know, chemotherapy, they can't
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: always do they can differentiate really between cancer cells and
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: healthy cells. This is training your own immune system to
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: fight the cancer cells and to leave the healthy cells alone.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: So powerful stuff.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: And yeah, I think I think exciting, exciting for the
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: future treatment of cancer. All right, guys, that is the
• 1:08:53

  Speaker 2: supporters and to fifty supporters. That would be incredibly valuable.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: It helps, and yeah, all of that it would be
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: would be really really fantastic, and I'd really really appreciate it.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: Uh, this show could not happen without the support from you, you,
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: the listeners.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: This is a listener supported show. Couldn't devote the time
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: to this if not for the money coming in from that.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: All right, let's see Liam, one hundred dollars, Thank you,
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: Liam Miller really really appreciated. He says, my issue with
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: Whiplash is not the intensity and the teachers strive for excellence,
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: but the use of abuse by making students feel anxious
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: and uncomfortable to motivate them to focus and perform better.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: I was never made better by coaches who did that
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: to me growing up.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's right. I think the abuse
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: of language and just the.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: Is bad, although I think the stress is helpful in
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: a sense of training you to be able to do
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: it under stress and then to execute, particularly if you're
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: a performer and you're going to get up on stage
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: and you're going to do it in front of an audience,
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: you know, getting used to stress is important. So I
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: don't endorse by any measure any of the particular techniques
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: he uses in Whiplash, but the striving for excellence, not
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: settling for anything other than excellence, the hard work, the
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: identification of the kind of hard work that is required.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: To be excellent, to be the best, I.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: Think all of those make it a worthwhile a worthwhile movie.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: It's interesting, though, I mean, there are a lot of
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: sports movies, a lot of sports movies where you see
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 2: coaches abusing the players as much, if not more than
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: the kind of abuse you've seen Whiplash, and for whatever reason,
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: it's just accepted that that's okay in a sports movie.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, even if I think of the kind of
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: life that the Williams sister's father kind of, you know,
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: really imposed on them, or I don't know, many sports
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: movies where where you know, high school teams or college
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: teams or you know, just go grueling, grueling, grueling time
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: in order to become great, and we accept that in
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: sports and whiplash because it's not sport, you know. The
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: and by the way, the same abuse happens the coaches
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: yelling at them and swearing at them and putting them
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: to intense pressure and takes them out into the woods,
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: and all kinds of stuff happens, and it's completely acceptable.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: And yet when it comes to.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: Jazz, in this case, drumming or something more spiritual connected,
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: we find it, we find it obsessive, we find it
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: excessive and inappropriate. Now, and I do think this stuff
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: that he does, that's inappropriate. But at the end of
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: the day, the movie is about attaining excellence, pushing through
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: to attain excellence, and again I think that is what
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: it's necessary to do that, and that is admirable. Natchavi
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: Jagorithm says, you say evil is unsustainable and collapses quickly.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: But North Korea has been around for quite some time.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: Mixed half slavey economies have been around even longer. It
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: can evil live off of the good indefinitely if the
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: good allows it. Well, It can live off of the
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: good for a long time. If the good allows.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: It, it can't live well.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: North Korea is the maybe the poorest country in the world,
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: or one of the poorest in the world. But it
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: can live. It can survive. Why because for years and
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: years and years the West negotiated with them and compromised
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: with them and provided aid. And today it gets aid
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: from China and even more so right now from Russia,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: who benefit from the West in other ways, benefit from
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: the good in other ways.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: And that's the good in China.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: The good in the West of what keep and and
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 2: the fact that the West won't cause Russia to collapse
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: is basically what keeps North Korea going. Our mixed economies
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: keep going because the good within those mixed economies keep producing,
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: keep supporting, keep keep it going. So yes, there, as
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: long as the good it keeps functioning, it can the
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: bad can.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: Evil can keep alive. How long It's hard to tell.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: It's not forever, because the good gets ground constantly, it
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: gets you know, gets demotivated, grinded over time, and produces
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: less and less and less for evil to steal.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: So how long exactly, I don't know. But there is
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: a limit.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 2: There is a limit, and at some point evil will collapse.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: At some point, evil is unsustainable. Now if the good
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: doesn't compromise with evil, then collapses fairly quickly. I mean
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: Soviet Union, it took what seventy seventy years or eighty years.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: North Korea will see how long it takes. Mixed economies
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 2: will last much longer because this significant freedom within.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: Those economies.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: Remo thank you, remociate it and it was good to
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: see you in the Netherlands. How do you stable coins
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: impact treasury bills and why does this pose the financial
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: risk as a consequence. Well, stable coins are basically just
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: the tokens in a way that are redeemable into treasuries.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: So a company can.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: Use their dollars or they euro to buy a bunch
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: of treasury bills.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: Let's say it's in dollars, they use.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: A bunch of they buy a bunch of treasury bills,
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: and they hold those treasury bills, and of course on
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 2: the treasure.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: Bills they get they get what do you call it interest?
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: They get interested in the treasury bills.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 2: And then they can turn around and they can sell
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: a token, a digital token, a digital crypto to users
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: who then will pay for that token. Knowing that the token,
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: the crypto is they can always exchange it for the
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 2: Treasury bill or for dollars. But in a sense, the
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: crypto is backed by the Treasury bill. And this is
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: because incredibly convenient for people because they now have they
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: can create a digital wallet.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: They can use it to buy things easily in.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: Cash, you know, supposedly I guess anonymously because that token,
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: anybody is willing, anybody should be willing to buy that
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: toe to get that token in exchange for goods because
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 2: the token, the crypto is backed by a treasure bill.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: It's backed by something real. And you can see this,
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: you know, being the one case use in which crypto
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: does well to the extent that I don't know, a
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 2: digital wallet that allows you to buy stuff online anonymously
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 2: as if it's like it's cash is a value to people,
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 2: and you know, there's some debate about whether it is
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 2: a value, isn't value, but it seems like this is
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: how crypto is going to take off, if it's going
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 2: to take off ever at all, because it's backed by
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 2: something real. Now what this does, though, is it creates
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 2: an incentive for people to buy treasure bills and create
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 2: these tokens. There's profit to be Oh, how do the
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 2: companies make profit? They basically make profit off the interest rate,
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: so it's not very lucrative unless they use leverage somehow,
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: they take on they borrow money in order to you know,
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 2: buy the treasuries. But well no, unless they do factos
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 2: of banking.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: Sorry.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 2: In other words, they issue more tokens than they are
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: treasury bills. But the whole point is that they can't
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 2: do that legally. They're required to just issue the token
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 2: for every Treasury bill that they have, right so full reserve.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: You can imagine this being very profitable for somebody like
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: like Amazon.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: Imagine Amazon issues.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: Basically a digital wallet that you can use on Amazon
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: or for that matter, anyway, but particularly on Amazon, and
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: you stop using credit cards as a consequence because this
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: is much easier. Well, that means that they don't have
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 2: to pay a credit card fee. And because they don't
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 2: have to pay a credit.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: Card fee, they can give you a discount.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 2: So you would get a discount for using the digital wallet,
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 2: and Amazon would collect interest on the money that you
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 2: gave them in order to get the token. They would
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 2: get the treasury rate. Now, in times when treasury bills
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 2: are paying high interest rates, that can be a pretty
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: lucrative business.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: In other times.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 2: Where the where you know, traasue bills are paying a
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 2: very low interest, for example, during the zero interest period,
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 2: this stops being a very lucrative business. So you know,
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: that creates certain stresses in the money supply in the
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 2: sense what they're doing is they're turning treasury bills into money, right,
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: they're monetizing treasure bills. But sometimes they do a lot
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: of that, sometimes they do a lit of that, depending
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: on the amount of interest. Now, the amount of interest
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 2: being paid. Now, part of what will determine the amount
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: of interest. Part of what determines it or what determines
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 2: it is the demand for treasury bills.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: If lots of.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 2: Companies want to issue these currencies, then there's an incredible
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 2: amount of demand.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: For treasure bills. As the demand for treasure.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 2: Bills goes up, interstates will go down, and the incentive
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 2: to issue these tokens goes down. So there is a
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 2: corrective mechanism built in. But it does but it does
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 2: mean that, and of course the FED sets interest rates,
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 2: so it can manipulate this as well. It adds to
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 2: the complexity of the monetary system. It adds the complexity
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: of how much money is the economy and.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: Whether the FED can control that or not.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: And I'm just not sure that the FED or anybody
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 2: else has the ability to manage all this. It just
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 2: creates another point of stress. And you could imagine that
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 2: some companies would have.
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: The temptation.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 2: Of issuing more tokens than they have treasure bills, even
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 2: though that's against the law. You could see the temptation
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 2: for fraud and some of those companies financially collapsing as
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 2: a consequence, and then what happens is the contagion effect.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: It's an interesting thought experiment to run through. We'll be
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: living through.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 2: It soon, I think, because we'll start seeing the issuance
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 2: of stable coins in more in a more substantiated way,
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: I think in the next few months years. But it
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: adds significant complexity, adds significant demand on treasure bills.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: It could be the government's issue more treasure bills, i e.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: Borrow more money as a consequence that ultimately will create inflation.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 2: This is a direct path to inflation because you're basically
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 2: turning the the the debt directly into money. So there's
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of risks here that I don't think
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: people really understand completely. And for that matter, I haven't
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 2: really worked it out. I want to see what actually
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 2: happens out there before really working out all the details
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 2: and how it impacts, how it's going to impact the world.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 2: But it certainly raises, I think, the threat of inflation,
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 2: and it raises the general I think that. I think
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 2: it raises the possibility of significant volatility in the money supply,
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 2: which could have which it would have other economic effects.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: All Right, Michael says, attack on October seventh seems to
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 2: have uncovered worldwide anti semitism and demonstrations before as well,
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 2: if I had one shot in self defense. The adjunct
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 2: hatred is online everywhere. Yes, And you know, this anti
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 2: semitism has been festering in humanity's departments for I think
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 2: a long time, and it hasn't been taught as anti semitism.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: It's been taught as postcolonialism. It's been taught as intersectionality,
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 2: it's been taught as identity politics and generally kind of
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 2: woke ideology.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: And what happened on October seventh is it triggered all
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: those things. Right.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: The Palestinians were the heroes because they were resisting the colonialists,
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 2: the Israelis who were the devil because the European or
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 2: many of them are European. They're successful, the prosperous, the strong,
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 2: and they perceived to be colonialists because they're not indigenous.
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: To the land over there. I'm not sure who is exactly.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: So all of that caused it a bubble to the surface.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: It was all under there.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: And what caused it is everything they've been taught in
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 2: school prepared them for this antisemitic moment. Everything they'd be
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 2: taught at school prepared them to respond this way, this
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 2: particular way to the attack of October seventh. Michael, it's
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 2: the thinking behind minimum wage that lower employment is acceptable
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 2: if most people are receiving higher wages and those who
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 2: can't get a job can just live off welfare. I
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: think the more honest people think exactly that. The more
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 2: honest people like what's her name, Janet Yellen, has not
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 2: bad that she wrote years ago, and she was at
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 2: I think she was at Berkeley economics professor.
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: And basically that's what she wrote.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 2: She said, Yes, we know that raising the minimum wage
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 2: will increase unemployment among the.
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: Very you know, the young and the.
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 2: Very untrained, and that's a price that we're willing to
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 2: pay in order to get wages higher for some people. Generally,
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 2: statism is about sacrificing one group to another, sacrificing some
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 2: people to other people, and in this case, the sacrificing
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 2: the very the least productive to the people who are
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 2: little bit more productive. And that's okay with them. Now,
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 2: many of them deny that and evade that. But the
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: honest ones know exactly what they're doing and they're fine
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 2: with it, and they say, yeah, they can get welfare.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: Welfare is exactly for that.
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 2: Clock without a prominent objective influence will always live under
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 2: some degree of fascism, as ugly souls, pew hatred, and resentment.
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we need.
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 2: A projectivist influence. That's what we need. We need to
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 2: increase that. You guys do you guys do your pot.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 2: I'll do my pot, all right. Anybody want to participate
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 2: as a sticker. That's a great way to support the show.
• 1:33:15

• 1:33:18
  Speaker 2: a few dollars and you support the show value for value.

  Speaker 2: you guys help make it possible. There we go, RFL,
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 2: thank you, oh, RAFL, great to see you.
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 1: Thank you for the ride. It was great to hang out.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 2: I hope your Italian friends had enjoyed the conversation. All right,
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 2: RAFL that Rufel is in Portugal and was at the
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 2: Ironman conference in Portugal. Thank you for this sticker, oh Steven, Steven,
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 2: thank you for fifty dollars.
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 1: Really appreciate that.
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 2: We're not fifty dollars fifty pounds sterling, so sixty seven dollars.
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: Really appreciate that. Thank you, Steven.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 2: And that is great, really chipping away at our third
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 2: our goal. Now, this is fantastic. All right, Michael says,
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 2: you said in your most recent talk, who has friends
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 2: for life. Are you implying you'll eventually have a falling
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 2: out with most people you consider friends at the moment? God,
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 2: did I say, who has friends for life? I don't
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 2: remember saying that with a big question mark. But no,
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 2: I mean by this point no, but none of those
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 2: friends are for life. I mean, maybe I have two
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 2: friends that go back to my How many friends do
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 2: I have that go back to my twenties? Not many,
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 2: very few, So you know you, I had a lot
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 2: of friends back then. Most of them are gone. I
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 2: think two have remained. I've accumulated friends in my thirties.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 2: Most of us gone, some have remained. So I'll have
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 2: friends for many, many decades. But I don't have any
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 2: friends from high school or primary school or anything like that.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 2: But no, it's not inevitable that your friends will will
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 2: you won't be friends with the friends.
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: You are now. Indeed, it's quite an achievement to have
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: friends for a lifetime. But I do not. I do
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: not offense. From way back in.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 2: School, author it seems like truth and reason should be
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 2: winning out, but the exact opposite is happening. Hatred and
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 2: racism are normalized more so than it's being in generations
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 2: and this is post Atlas Shrugged world. Yes, but remember
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 2: an overwhelming majority of people.
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: Are not influenced by Atlas Shrugged.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 2: I have not read at La Shrugged, and even those
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 2: who read it, a significant number of them read it
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 2: interesting book and went on with their lives. That is,
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 2: there are very few people, relatively speaking, that are actually
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 2: influenced by Atlas Shrugged and had Atlas Shrugged help shape
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 2: their lives, help actually make an impact on their lives
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 2: in a dramatic, significant positive way.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: So yeah, And.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 2: In the meantime, as Ivan said, the mixed economy, the
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 2: mixed economy in economics, and the mixed economy of the
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 2: soul only eroding whatever left or whatever's left of the
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 2: Enlightenment values, you know, Independavion Van, whatever's left of the
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 2: Enlightenment values is just being eroded by the constant, ongoing
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 2: assault by the mixed economy. So it's not a sustainable
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 2: What we have today is not sustainable, Thank you author?
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: Whoops? What is going on here? All right? Another question
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 1: by author? Are you sure it's twenty two thousand?
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 2: Are you sure it's two thousand and eight financial crisis
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 2: that has turned the population against capitalism? I don't think
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 2: most gen Z's haters of markets even.
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: Remember the two thousand and eight financial crisis.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 2: Nihilistic intellectuals have had enough time to erode the better
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 2: sense of life that came from the Reagan era.
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: Yes, I do think it's a two thousand and eight
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: financial crisis.
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 2: As I've said many times, nine to eleven eroded the
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 2: belief in America as a military power.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 1: It eroded confidence in It eroded confidence.
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 2: In a political leaders because of the lies they told
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 2: over and over again. And two thousand and eight eroded
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 2: whatever confidence people stated had in markets and in capitalism. Now,
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 2: It's true gen Z wasn't conscious then, but they don't
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 2: need to be. Their teachers were conscious then, their parents
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 2: were alive then, and so gen Z grew up with
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 2: teachers and parents and intellectuals and people conveying messages and
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 2: ideas to them that came to certain conclusions.
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: About the world during the financial crisis.
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 2: And you know, the gen Zs can't point to the
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 2: financial crisis is when it happened. Only you stepping back
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 2: and looking at an analysis of how things transpired over
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 2: the twenty first century can see it.
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, the three events that have led.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 2: To the you know, disintegration of the world and which
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 2: we're living through right now, are nine to eleven financial
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 2: crisis and COVID. Now gen Z only experienced COVID, but
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 2: even the response to COVID were shaped by the public's
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 2: bonds by the intellectuals response to nine to eleven in
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 2: two thousand and eight. So you've got to build up here,
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 2: and remember it's it's not these young people.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: They don't know where they get.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 2: Their ideas, they get any ideas, and the people who
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 2: influenced them. That people who influenced them were very much
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 2: shaped by the intellectual's interpretation of nine to eleven in.
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 1: Two thousand and eight.
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 2: And you're right that it's the intellectual and nihilistic intellectuals
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 2: you know who are around, maybe even during the Reagan era,
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 2: But they used nine to eleven in two thousand and
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 2: eight as the opportunity to erode the confidence and sense
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 2: of life and the belief system of young people. And
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 2: they use these concretes as as triggers because people were
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 2: were ready, because they were so frustrated by both events.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 2: It's just like you can't get FDR, you can't get
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 2: what FDR did. The New Deal without a great depression.
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 2: A great depression, which the intellectuals blamed on capitalism, was
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 2: created the fertile environment in which FDR could come in
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 2: and say, here's all the regulations, here's all the controls
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 2: that we need, and to this day shapes people's view
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 2: of capitalism to this day. If you ask people what
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 2: caused the Great Depression, most of them will say Wall Street.
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 1: Greed, the stock market collapse.
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 2: Even though almost no economist believes that it doesn't matter.
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 2: It's become part of the culture. The same thing about
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 2: two thousand and eight, Happer Campbell wilmam Donny's tax on
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 2: second homes worth over five million have much of an
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 2: impact economically or is it merely symbolic socialism?
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: Such a ridiculous concept.
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 2: These people are only in those condos a few months
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 2: per year and are paying HOA fees to their building
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 2: they're hardly in, and property taxes for services they hardly use.
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 2: Now they're going to be punished more just for existing. Yes,
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 2: it's just a punishment. It doesn't raise that much money
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 2: and it's not gonna you know, it's not going to
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 2: matter that much economically. It might incentivize some of them
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 2: to sell even at a loss. But the people it's
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 2: sly who is going to buy, maybe people who are
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 2: going to live in New York. So it might increase
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 2: the inventory of luxury condos on the market, which.
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: Potentially could lower prices in New York.
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 2: But it's not going to be huge. It's not going
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 2: to be large numbers. It's basically all Mumdani's interested in
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 2: is punishing rich people, punishing people for their success. That's,
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 2: you know, that's the premise behind behind what he's doing,
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 2: and behind much of what he does, and behind really.
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: All of his proposals. All right, um Gold's gold. Something
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: says Vahedi.
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 2: Vahedi is the head of THEGC has put the President,
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 2: the Foreign Minister and the Speaker of the Parliament under
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 2: arrest Mayhem. I don't know if any real evidence that
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 2: he's put them underrest, and maybe he has. I'm not
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 2: saying he hasn't. I haven't seen any evidence they're under
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 2: arrest PD. I am a Moroccan aerospace engineer student in Madrid,
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 2: A big fan of yours. That's great, thank you being
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 2: Madrid in September. I'm glad you got out of Morocco.
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 2: I'm glad Yeah, aospace engineering, that's very your student in Madrid,
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 2: that's great. Madrid is a great city in spite of
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 2: the crazy leftism of the government. The economy in Spain
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 2: is doing pretty good to lodge extent because of tourism.
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 1: And yet they hate toists, which is typical James.
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure what's louder, the hate or the ignorance. Well,
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 2: it's not even ignorance, it's evasion, and that's all driven
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 2: by hate and fear.
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 1: James.
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 2: Trump doesn't appear to be an as anti Israel and
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 2: anti Semitic is his base. Why is this Well, because
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 2: I think he's older. I don't think he's base as
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 2: that anti Semitic. I mean, there's the gradations of his base,
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 2: some are and some or not. But I think primelody
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 2: Trump is just a businessman, grew up in New York,
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 2: has done deals.
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 1: He's just I don't know.
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 2: He's a bit of a racist, I think, and he
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 2: certainly knows how to cultivate his racist and anti Semitic base,
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 2: but he's not particularly anti Semitic. He has some views
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 2: about Jews and money and so on, but he admires
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 2: I think BB's strength.
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: He admires Israel's strength. He's just not.
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 2: Bought into the particular craziness of Attucker Carlson. Stephen, thank
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 2: you for the sticker. Really appreciated, James. It's being said
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 2: something like the hollow cost couldn't have something like the
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 2: Holocaust couldn't happen with the presence of social media. But
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 2: social media is perpetuating in nineteen Tenyes style jew hatred,
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 2: Yes it is.
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 1: I don't think.
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 2: I don't think the Holocaust one way or the others.
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 2: You know what, people will see it and object to it.
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 2: People are very good at evating. People are pretending there's
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 2: genocide in Gaza in spite of what they saw on
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 2: social media on October seventh. People still admire Hamas in
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 2: spite of social media and what they saw on October seventh.
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 2: So no, I don't think social media will save us
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 2: from a holocaust.
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 1: Michael.
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 2: When is it appropriate to send someone a nasty email
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 2: when they're screwed you over? Or is this immature and
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 2: you're better off going going no contact?
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 1: No?
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 2: I think it's it's often appropriate if there are no
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 2: other ramifications to sending somebody an email expressing what you know,
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 2: not in a vogal way, but expressing.
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 1: Outrage at the fact that they screwed you over.
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 2: I don't see any problem in doing that, you know,
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 2: unless again they no other ramification associated with it, and
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 2: as long as you're confident that they.
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 1: Really did screw you over.
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 2: Kfax, thank you for the stick of twenty dollars. Thank
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 2: you appreciate it.
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 1: That's great.
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 2: You too can do a sticker and support the show
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 2: and trade with me and and be part of the support.
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 2: Uh remos his value for value. Thank you, Remo. Uh Sciences.
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 2: Could you name a modern public figure and think that's
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 2: when ails with TOI No, not really.
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 1: I mean because l with Toe is so.
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 2: Aware of his own evil. There are a lot of
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 2: public figures that do what else with To he did?
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 1: Paul Krookman.
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 2: I mean a lot of the people who write are
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 2: doing Elswi Toy. I mean, this piker guy is as
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 2: bad as Eldati, so he's Tucker Caulson, so it's Fuentes.
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 2: They're less intellectual that Elsoti, but they're the same. They're
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 2: nihilists to just trying to tear the world down. So
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 2: Pika Fuentes Caulson. But they're not elst In the sense
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 2: that they they're not aware of what they're doing, they're
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 2: not aware of their own incentives. They're not they're not
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 2: as sophisticated as two years in understanding what's happening. They
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 2: just they're much more they're barbarians as compared to Els
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 2: with tu who is much more intellectual, thoughtful and introspective
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 2: and of course knows exactly what he's doing.
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 1: These people, don't.
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 2: Liam Are these neo fascist movements, like in Hungary crashing hard?
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 2: Do you suspect Trump will lose both the House and Senate?
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 2: Do Fascism only went in perality when the left gets nutty?
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 2: It's really hard to tell. I mean, you could argue
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 2: that the left only wins popular wins temporarily when the
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 2: right gets nutty. So I'm not sure. I think they
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 2: both benefit from the other party being nutty, and that's
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 2: why you get swings left right, left right, and no
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 2: consistent trend because every time you swing now the party
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 2: the party that wins gets nutty, and then you swing back.
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 1: So I'm not sure.
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, clearly, in Hungry it crashed, but it mainly
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 2: crashed because Auburn was so corrupt. You know, a lot
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 2: of his ideas are still supported by the party that won,
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 2: and it'll be interesting to see to what extent is
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 2: the crash in Hungry going to affect AfD in Germany,
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 2: the far right in France, and Reform in England. In
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 2: the UK, we'll see if this bodes ill for other
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 2: right wing movements as well. I do think Trump has
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 2: a chance of losing because Trump is a nut case.
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 2: It's not even about ideas. It's about not Trump being
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 2: just a disaster. His tariff policies and the way he communicates,
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 2: the way he deals with the world, the policies of Ice,
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 2: all of that is just undermine Trump. It's not even
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 2: that he's far right, it's just these pathetic and stupid
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 2: and moronic and he communicates in a vulgar, horrific way,
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 2: and I think Americans are fed up with that.
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 1: Could he lose the Senate?
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, I would have said that a few months ago,
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 2: but now I think Republicans could lose the Senate as
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 2: well as the House. I mean, the Senate should be
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 2: safe for them this round, but it might not be.
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 1: It might not be.
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 2: So, which would be horrific because the worst thing is
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 2: to go into twenty twenty eight with the chance of
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 2: Democrats controlling all three branches of government.
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 1: That would be really, really, really bad.
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 2: I want I've always wanted, I've said for a long time,
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 2: divided government.
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 1: I want a split.
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 2: Huppercampbell some good news and bonus Iris rents a down
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 2: forty percent, supply up over one hundred and seventy percent
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 2: after me Lay abolished, and control nationwide.
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 1: And I think he's in Israel now. Yeah, Unfortunately, he
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 1: is an Israel. He was a part of the.
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 2: Israeli seventy eighth celebration of seventy eight years of independence.
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 2: I saw this horrific picture of him though, praying at
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 2: the Whaling Wall, you know, at the old Jewish temple,
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 2: and he's, you know, got his hands on the wall
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 2: and he's got his forehead to it, and afterwards he's
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 2: got tears in his eyes and he's hugging all these
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 2: religious Jews. Not good, I mean not good. Not a
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 2: good image for me from h Not a good you
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 2: know of of of me Lay. Unfortunately, but yes, rents
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 2: the way down. His economic policies are doing okay. There
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 2: are other problems in the Argentina economy that he better
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 2: get on top of.
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 1: Before the election next year.
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 2: There is a inflation is still way too high, unemployment
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 2: is rising. He needs to get that economy humming, and
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 2: he needs to get inflation completely under control. And he
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 2: hasn't done it yet. He hasn't done it yet. Free
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 2: Market Capital says, glad you're back. Youran was starting to
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 2: experience withdrawal syntems, irrational, irrational, was altruism creeping in pure
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 2: That was a close call.
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad.
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 2: I'm glad to be here to save you from the
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 2: evil of altruism and irrationality.
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure about tomorrow's show.
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 2: If I'm going to do a show tomorrow or not,
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 2: You'll have to wait. There's a bunch of things going
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 2: on tomorrow that I might not be able to squeeze
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 2: the show in. I'll let you know tomorrow.
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 1: Not to you, every jo go with him.
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 2: The success of October seventh attack does seem bizarre. All
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 2: of Israel is basically the idea of why did it
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 2: take six plus hours for the military to spawn?
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 1: Effectively?
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 2: Government entities like the military often fail, and in this case,
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 2: Israeli arrogance, Israeli false confidence was at its peak, and
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 2: Israel itself is still trying to figure out exactly what happened,
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 2: but it is.
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 1: A massive failure, you know. And these on these villages that.
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 2: That were attacked, the guns were all locked away, so
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 2: they had guns, but they were all locked away in
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 2: a communal which was a new regulation by the Israeli governments.
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 1: So the Israeli government screwed everything up.
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 2: If they had access to guns, if their guns were
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 2: under their beds instead of locked away somewhere, yeah, a
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 2: lot fewer people would have died.
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 1: So yeah, Israel was.
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 2: The Israeli military was unbelievably incompetent, and Israeli intelligence was
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 2: not listened to. And that's what happens. That's what happens
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 2: when you get bad leadership. I blame again Natanyau for
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 2: all of that. I like numbers. Congrats on the Atlas Prize.
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 2: I hope it brings the you at the Shrug readers
• 1:55:02

• 1:57:07
  Speaker 2: for them to read at La Shrugg All right, I
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 2: think this is our final question. It's depressing how bad
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 2: the intellectuals and leaders are that Americans accept and promote.
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 2: Growing up in the sixties, it looks like the left
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 2: movement contributed to culturally destroying America's reasoning. Yes, absolutely, and
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 2: the right didn't do anything. The right just embraced ultimately
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 2: everything the left did.
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 1: We fished state, the regulatory state. They wouldn't challenge any
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 1: of it.
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 2: And what you got is the left just going crazy
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 2: for all those years with nothing, with no response, no argument, no.
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 1: Fight from the right. So the left basically was unopposed.
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 1: Thank you Eric. All right, guys, thank you.
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 2: As I said, I'm not sure about tomorrow, not sure
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 2: about tomorrow, but definitely Thursday to I wasn say Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 2: No Thursday, Friday, Saturday. We've got Ama twelve I think
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 2: twelve recent time, and Sunday there should be a show
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 2: on Sunday.
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 1: So Monday no show and then all the next week.
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 2: So anyway, we'll figure it out, but probably nothing next
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 2: nothing tomorrow or maybe nothing tomorrow. All right, I'll see
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 2: you all either tomorrow or Thursday.
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 1: By everybody. Thank you to all the super chatters.
• 1:58:41
