  Speaker 1: A lot of them, las little selim interest and a loss.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: This is the show? Oh right, everybody? What happened to
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: my voice? Day? Right? Everybody walk up there? One book
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: show on this Tuesday, July fourteen. Too much cheering during
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, we just just finished watching, uh well,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: and a couple of hours ago watching the Spain France game.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: A really good game. Spain just dominated, I mean dominated.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: It was a little embarrassing for fans. I mean, Frans
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: a great team, but they were no match for s
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Pain today. There were just no match for Spain today.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: So Spain goes on the final. They want to zero
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: if they play this well. I don't see how Argentina
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: England could beat them. You know, maybe by playing more
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: physical game. I don't know, but I don't know how.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: You know how either England or Argentina could beat them
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow is England Argentina that be? That'll be quite a game.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I'm sure. Last time Spain played this well, they won
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the World Cup in twenty ten I think was and
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: at the time they were so dominant and they played
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: such a beautiful game that I think a lot of
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: experts and I'm not an expert, but I certainly agreed
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: with them, thought this team is going to dominate football
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: for years to come, and they didn't, which is kind
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: of interesting. They didn't. They didn't, you know, they didn't
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: do well in the twenty fourteen, twenty eighteen, twenty twenty
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: two finals I World Cup. Finally they did well this year.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: So but it seems style of football, short passes, lots
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: of passes, dominate the ball. Other teams try to play
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: this kind of football, but Spain just dominates it and
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: they know exactly what they're doing and they didn't even
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: need I mean, Yamal played well, but it wasn't like
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: he didn't score any goals and he didn't. He didn't.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: There was no spark. He was the one who caused
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: the penalty which was the first goal. But yeah, good game,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: good game. That was fun. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's game
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: and then the final. No matter who wins tomorrow, either
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: it's England or it's or it's Argentina, the final will
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: be gritty, the final will be good. So looking forward
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: to that. All right, So we are going to talk
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: about Michael Knowles. You guys, somebody has been asking for
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: it for a while now. Michael Knowles on the industrial evolution.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: He doesn't really talk about the industrial evolution. We'll get
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: to that, even though the title of the title of
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the video is the industrial revolutions being a disaster for
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: human race, and he says that once, but he doesn't
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: really talk about why and how and what he means
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: by that. Sadly, at least I didn't see it. But
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: there's enough he has to talk about. And he's so
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: full of it. He's so full of it, and he
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: says what he says with such authority and calm and
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: self assuredness. The number of people who are just being
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: completely and utterly deceived by this con artist, it really is,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: really is stunning. So let's watch this video by Michael Knowles,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and I will of course stop it and comment on
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: it again. It's called the industry revolution. There's been a
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: disaster for human race, and let's see what he says.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I will comment. We'll see how long we go. I mean,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: it's a pretty long segment where he keeps repeating himself
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and he doesn't really say much.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: So I may skip ahead at some.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Point to where let me just find uh, because I
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: need I need a have kind of the Yeah, maybe
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: maybe skip ahead once or twice to where I think
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: he brings in a new point because he is so
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: goddamn repetitive. All right, here we go. Tell me if
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: there's any issue with the audio or anything else. And oh,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I have to say thank you. I mean, the show
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: didn't even start, hadn't even started, and you guys that
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: already basically contributed the first hour goal. So we've meant
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: the first hour goal. So that's that's amazing. And keep
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: it coming because we have to make up of the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: fact that yesterday was really really bad.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: But yeah, keep it coming.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: And but a lot of twenty and fifty dollars questions
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: and it would be great to get more of those,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: and then it would be great to get just stickers
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: and uh yeah, amazing. We already did the first hour goal.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: You know. Let's let's let's see we can reach three
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: our goal.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: All right, here we go.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Uh Tom, let's see press play.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: In American history, was the Industrial Revolution the Second Industrial Run?
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: So his argument is, I guess it started a little
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: late there.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: His argument is that political violence, peak political violence peak
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: political violence were during the late nineteenth century what he
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: calls the Second Industrial Revolution, That is, the Industrial Revolution
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: followed the Civil War. That was peak political violence. And
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: he's talking here a lot about political violence as a
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: as a outgrowth really of capitalism, political violence as the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: consequence of economic freedom. So and and he's he's got
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: a point. It's overstadi it, but he's got a point. Revolution.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: If you just there have been plenty of periods of
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: political violence in American history. Probably probably we think of
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: the Civil War that would be an example of it,
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: which was right at the beginning of the Second Industrial
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Revolution and did involve economic changes that pertained to slavery.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: But even let's just take that one out for a second.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Should you know, you think of political violence in the
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: nineteen sixties and seventies with regard to civil rights and
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: some of the social movements that were being funded by
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: the communists, You think of.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Little social movement funded by the communists, So civil rights
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: funded by the communists, civil rights movement a bad thing.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Mandin Luther King a bad guy, and he was killed
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: by the way. So I don't know if Martin Luther
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: King's MUDA was done by a communist, Malcolm X's MUDA
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: done by a communist. Robert F. Kennedy, you know, I
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, he says stuff like this and
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: he throws it out, and he throws it out. He
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: throws stuff like this out with such confidence. Why would
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: you question it? Why would you think hmm, is that true? No,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: he says it like he's a complete authority on this stuff.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: And there's no question the communists funded the political violence
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: in the nineteen sixties and seventies. Now they founded some,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: no question. But just to throw it off like that,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: it's just typical of Nos. He facts no matter, you know.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: But it's his assertions of matter, and he knows his audience,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: so he can assert as long as it's consistent with
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the kind of the general trend of his listeners. He
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: gets just assert stuff, throw it out there, and then
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: it becomes low right Communists of funding political violence all
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: over the place, and they have been since the nineteen sixties,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: and all the political violence in the sixties and seventies
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: that was communist. We know it's funded because Michael No
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: said so, and he said so with athority. It's how
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: you repeat lies over and over and over again, it
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: becomes it almost becomes established truths. Nobody people stop questioning it,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: both left and right, are.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Very good at this, very very good at this violence
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: in the nineteen sixties and seventies with regard to civil
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: rights and some of the social movements that were being
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: funded by the communists. You think of little rebellions that
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: popped up in the eighteenth century. But the most sustained
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: period of political unrest and violence in American history occurs
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: from roughly the eighteen eighties through the nineteen teens, basically
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: right up to and right into World War One. That's
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: when you had the Haymarket affair eighteen eighty six. You
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: had bombings in Chicago. You had Pullman guards shooting people
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: and being killed themselves. You had the Homestead strike in
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: eighteen ninety two, you had the Pullman strike in eighteen
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: ninety four. You had the Ludlow massacre in nineteen fourteen
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: in Colorado.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: You had the Wall Street.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Bombings in the nineteen teens and twenties by left wing anarchists,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: the exact same kind of people who would be called
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: antifa today included you had Marxist professors from Harvard no jokes,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: setting off bombs in the Capitol, earily similar to what
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: we're looking at today.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: We have Marxist professors from Robard setting up bombs in
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the Capitol today. That is the similarity there, really is
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: it similar. He's right, all of that happened eighteen eighty
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: and nineteen twenty. There was a lot of political violence
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: in the United States. And we'll talk about why in
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: a minute. But absolutely, he'll he'll blame two causes, and
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: there's some truth to both. But yes, this is a
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: time of a lot of kind of left wing anarchists,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: very very active. This is a time of conflicts between
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: unions and business and the state getting involved in the
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: middle of that. And of course this is a forty
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: year period zero. The other periods were much shorter. He's
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: kind of comparing apples and orangees. But okay, I'm going
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: to give him eighteen eighty nineteen twenty a lot of
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: a lot of political violence in the United States a
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: lot and interesting why it stopped in nineteen twenty, okay.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: And it was occurring over that period of time, And
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: what was driving it was not transgenderism or some cultural
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: issue it transgenderism.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Where did that even come from eighteen eighties to nineteen twenties.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: These people have just one thing in their mind.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Was being driven in part by immigrants, because immigrants were
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: heavily involved often. But the big social change that was
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: going on was the Industrial Revolution.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: True, So this is also the period of industrialisation already started,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: of course, particularly in the North Way much earlier. Most
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: of this violence is in the North Uh. But this
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: is a period in which massive economic growth, unbelievable economic
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: growth uh, and a huge rise in in uh, a
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: sent of a living quality of life, wages UH, income
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: wealth UH. And and that is true for for rich,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: middle class and poor. Everybody is their wages and wealth
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: is accelerating and rising dramatically. It's also a time of
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: a massive immigration and a lot of resentment between different
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: immigrant immigrant groups, so coming to this country, bringing some
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: of the resentment from the old Country to America. And
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: and uh, that is part of the part of the conflict.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: But the main conflict is Yeah, what what is the
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: main conflict? Uh?
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Michael, the Second Industrial Revolution that was totally changing the
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: relationship of citizen to state and of workers to employer.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: How is it changing the relationship between citizens to state?
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: He never elaborates on that. I don't think that's really true.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Suddenly it was changing the relationship between workers, employees and employers,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: and it was changing the nature of jobs. It was
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: huddling people into cities, whereas before people were more you know,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: out in the countryside. People were coming from the countryside
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: in Europe, from little villages and little towns and agricultural
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: communities in Europe, and they were coming and suddenly congregating
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: in Boston and New York and Chicago and in very
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: very what is it condensed, very very highly populated neighborhoods
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: and areas.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: So yes, all this is happenings and changing how capital
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: was being employed.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: And changing capital is being employed. And again he would
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: have to he would have to elaborate how changes in
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: capital being deployed brought about this political violence that was happening.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: I think that we conservatives because we realized that Karl
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Marx was like very possibly possessed by the devil.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I think he means that. He means that Cole Marx
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: was possessed by the devil. I mean, really.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Really excellent book by Paul Kanger, by the way, the
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Devil and Karl Marx highly red. They go the Devil
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: command on the subject. Because of that, we we kind
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: of write off the Marxist critiques of markets and history.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: But the Marxists actually do make a fair number of
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: interesting observations.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I love I love this. I love that he's uh,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: he's right, He's absolutely right, right on right. He's not
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: lying to you, He's telling you what he really thinks.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: And the reality is that you conservatives, you conservatives outdate
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah the U you You would if you read Monks
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: and you read his critiques of capitalism, you would go, yeah,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: we agree with a lot of this. This is absolutely true.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: And indeed, the biggest critics of capitalism in the nineteenth
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: century in Europe, at least, the biggest critics of capitalism
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: in Europe were conservatives, particularly in place like Germany. They
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: resented the fact that people were moving to the cities
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: and abandoning all towns, abandoning They resented the fact that
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: people were becoming more secular and abandoning the commitment to religion.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: They resented kind of the greatest freedom that people had
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: to move to create, to build, to make.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: They wanted things to stay the same as they.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Always were because they were let me see, what's the name.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: What's the name. Oh, they're conservatives. They want to conserve
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the tradition in the past and the nineteenth century and
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: the industrial Revolution is shadowing the past, shadowing tradition, all
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: in the name of human prosperity, all in the name
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: of human well being, all dramatically moving human life. But
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: that's not what the conservatives are concerned about. They're concerned
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: about tradition for the sake of tradition. They're concerned about
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: the past for the sake of the past. Remember, Michael
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: knows venerates the was it twelve twenty twelve, twenty twelve
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: twenty and the cathedrals, all those peasants dying while building
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: cathedrals one hundred that took sometimes over one hundred years
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: to build. That That's that's what he longs for. That
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: is that is the good.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: Their prescriptions are horrible, but they do make interesting observations.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Interesting observations. That interesting because he thinks that true commagues.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: The leftist critique of capitalism and the conservative critique of
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: capitalism in many respects are very similar, are very similar.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: They don't like the individualism calls main critique, and you
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: can see this in his first essay that he published,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: which was called on the Jewish Question. His main critique
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: is of individualism. What he really hates is individualism. It's egoism,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: it's self interest. What is the main thing Conservatives like
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Michael those hates about capitalism, about freedom. It's individualism, it's egoism.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: And it does seem to me that periods of massive
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: technological change leave societies very vulnerable to violence. And this
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: is what brought me to Uncle Ted. You know, the
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: old the old un obamber Ted.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Uncle Ted, the old un Obama uncle Ted.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: It's it's it's his pal ted Ted Kasinski, the un Obama.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Zinsky was a pretty sharp guy, you know, graduate of
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: top schools. Did he ever graduate or did he drop
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: out anyway? Very you know, top schools to education. Think
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: he got a little messed up by the CIA, was
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: totally crazy and becomes a murderer.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Why not. I don't want to blame the CIA for
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: techs and crazy rather than blame his ideas for making him.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he was crazy. I mean, if
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: you eat the manifesto, it does seem like a crazy manifesto.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: It's wrong, it's evil, it's bad, it's evil crazy, I
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: don't know. And he kills people for good cause. So crazy.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: And here's the thing, Michael Knowles sympathetic and Marxist critique
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: of capitalism and indeed sympathetic to Tech Kasinski, the unibombers
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: critique of capitalism and moness society. This is the new Right.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: The new Right is anti liberty, anti freedom, and unequivocally
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: anti capitalism, anti free markets. They hate the spies, reject
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: capitalism with everything. They really, really, really are offended by it.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: And Michael knows is a great illustration of ed Worth
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: revisiting here, how many motives do we call uncle Ted?
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Uncle Ted?
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Not emulating his tactics, obviously, but just revisiting his observations.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: He opens up his manifesto, Industrial Society and its Future
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: by saying the Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: a disaster for the human race. And he makes points
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: about political change, especially political change on the right, that
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: I think we ought to take to heart because one
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: of the recent overlords of the world clash fop with
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: the World Economic Forum. Don't forget what he refers to
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: this time period, as he calls it, the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: You had the First Industrial Revolution, which brought you mechanized production.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Then you have the Second Industrial Revolution, and that starts
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: to bring you things like the assembly line that starts
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: to bring you things like tristic simulized industrial revolution. That's
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: the data revolution. And now we're in this fourth Industrial
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: revolution where you have all of this kind of biohacking,
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: artificial intelligence, dreams of transhumanism and cyborgs and really freaky stuff.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Now this is I think what really scares many of
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: these conservatives. Transhumanism. This idea of tinkering with the DNA
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: of human beings to make us better, smarter, stronger up,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: maybe even one day putting chips in our brains, maybe
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: giving us bionic alms. That freaks them out. There's nothing
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: that scares them more than that. This is part of
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: what they why they are so upset with modernity and
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: so resistant. I think now to AI, because it's God.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're playing God. You're human beings and you're
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: playing God. And this get right innovation, change the future, modernity.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: People having the ability to make choices about the kid's biology,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: maybe even their own biology, that scares them, for Jesus
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: out of them. Think about a mentality that is o
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: in it towards tradition, in o in it towards conserving
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: the past, ode in towards faith, Suddenly science is making
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: it possible to do to play God. I mean, these
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: guys would have stopped the gene editing Christopher technology. They
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: would have killed it if they could have. They hate
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: the idea of longevity and longevity science and tinkering with
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: the human geno maybe or genes to extend life. Why
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: can't it all be? Why can't we go back to
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: how it was in twelve twenty for so simple? Then
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: you were born, fifty percent of you died before the
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: age of ten, and the rest of you lived, you know,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: a simple life of hard work, of suffering, of fearing God.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: And you died maybe.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: At age thirty, maybe forty, maybe fifty, and you went
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: straight to heaven because you didn't have any opportunity and
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: not a single opportunity to commit any sin. And what
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: a wonderful life that is. That's what they long for,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: like this life that we have. And look at him right,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: he's got that box of cigars next to him. I
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: wonder if they're Cuban, but a bunch of cigars. He's
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: got that cuffee like mug, that coffee kind of mug,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Hi tech coffee mug. You know that scenery which is
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: all fake. Of course that's not his real office, but
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: that you know, that fake scenery behind him and a
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: microphone and he's he's broadcasting over the internet to people.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: All of this is the kind of progress that he
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: justs he hates. He's living it, but he he who
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: at least presents the case that he hates it.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: Well, if we are in another industrial revolution, that might
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: help you explain some of the changes that we're seeing,
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: some of the violence we're seeing. So we'll get into
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: the unibomberous manifesto, but before we get to the best
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: the best reporter on Antiva Andy. Now, first though, I
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: want to tell you about armorra middle of the twenty teens,
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: you would have these dot com slash nobles. I think
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: this is what what does the Industrial Revolution have to
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: say about political violence? Well, Kazinski kind of opens up
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: observing something really weird about Republican politics for the last
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: thirty years. It's ebbed a little bit since the Trumpet
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: administration and the economic populism, but before that, from the nineties,
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: from the eighties really through the middle of the twenty teens,
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: you would have Theseublican politician show up to the conservative
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: group and they'd say, on the one hand, we need
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: to preserve traditional values and traditional institutions, and we need
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: good old traditional family values. And then on the other
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: hand they would say, we need creative destruction and unbridled
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: capitalism and innovatiation and all. And they didn't see that
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: those two things were in conflict.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Yes, I mean that's the thing about making those He
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: tells it like it is. Yes, they are in conflict
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: tradition and all that stuff. Yeah, that's in conflict faith
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: and I don't know, family values whatever they hell those
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: that is all in conflict with innovation and capitalism and
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: free trade and unbridled what do you call it, unbridled capitalism. Yeah,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: that is individualism is in conflict with collectivism. Capitalism and innovation,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: that's individualism. Tradition, that's collectivism, and those in conflict. That's
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: what made Republicans so pathetic, what still makes them so pathetic,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: and why they could never ever ever defend capitalism, could
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: never ever ever move us towards capitalism. They moved us
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: systematically away from capitalism. So he's absolutely right. And if
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Ted Kasinsky said this in the manifesto, Ted Kasinski absolutely right.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: But you see Michael Knowles is saying, Yeah, that was
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: the problem because I'm for the collectivism, for the I'm
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: for the for the, for the for the tradition and
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: family values and all of that stuff. And the consequence
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: of that is we got to be anti capitalist. We've
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: got to stop all this progress and innovation. God, we're
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: moving towards transhumanism. How can they be anything more evil
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: than that? So he gets it that during conflict, at
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: least he's honest about that. At least he's honest about that.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: That when you have massive innovation, massive technological change, especially
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: that is necessarily going to upset traditional values and family dynamics.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely good. It's amazing how good it is. Right,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: so that the revolution made it impossible for people to
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: leave their families and get on ships and comme and
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: immigrate to the United States and start new families over here.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: It made it possible for me people to move away
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: and not see their families again. It made it possible
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: to people to live based on their own values, not
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: on the values dictate to them by tradition and their
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: religion and their families and whoever else dabbled in their values.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: They got to make choices for themselves and the consequence
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: of that, which he never talks about. Nobody, all these
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: critics of capitalism, they never talk about the consequences the
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: most prosperous, successful, strongest country in human astry. Yeah, there's
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: a little bit of political violence, but on the big picture,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: even the nineteenth century tiny it's compared to amount of
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: progress that was being made. I mean, twelve twenty, there
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: were a lot of poor people. In twelve twenty, ninety
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: five percent of all people were good poor. Yes, they
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: believed in God and the traditional values. Maybe maybe maybe,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: but you know the core nuclear family that you know,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: there were no gays or the gays did what they
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: did in hiding, and that was okay because it was
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: in hiding. So you know, as long as they don't
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: show it. And yeah, and you die building Greek cathedrals,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: beautiful thing you and you stay poor because the church
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: to all your money, just beautiful things instead of you
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: went and you built something, you created something, and you
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: you raise your kids and you sent them and they
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: got a great education. They became doctors and lawyers and
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: engineers and scientists and entrepreneurs and businessmen, and they built
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: and created and made stuff. It's I mean, how do
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: you even compare life today to life before the industrial evolution?
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Answer to evolution is the greatest thing to ever happen
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: to mankind, and here says it's a disaster. It's the
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: greatest thing the human race has ever done. It's taken
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: us to the stars, or at least to the moon
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: so far, and will ultimately take us to the stars.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: It's so sickening.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: The rights the right is so sickening.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: All of you who thought that objectivists could align themselves
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: with these idiots.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: Really, and in many ways, the populism of the Trump
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: era was an answer to that, a populism begun by
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump himself, who was speaking out for workers whose
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: jobs were displaced, whose towns were destroyed, who then became
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: addicted to opioids and further led to the family breakdown.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, these are the conservatives who used to talk about
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: used to talk about postal responsibility. Now there's no personal responsibility.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: The OPI a crisis that's caused by China, you know,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: by multi nationals moving jobs to China. Exactly like the left.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: It's caused by layoffs. Why didn't these people get into
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: cause and drive the way the jobs are oh, because
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know personal responsibility. No, God forbid personal responsibility.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: God forbid taking responsibility for your own life. I mean,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: it is so pathetic. They are leftists draped in religion,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: but they're complete leftists when it comes to economics. And
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: this is the great alliance that is ultimately going to
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: come out of this. A populist, leftist economic policy wrapped
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: in religion and nationalism. And that's what you're going to get.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: And that is going to be the ultimate combination. And
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: it's shocking that Americans are buying into this, but they are.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: They've given up on capitalism and freedom, the ego for
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: the government to take care of them so that they
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: don't lose their jobs and families don't break apart, and
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: there's no oh piod epidemic because that's all because of capitalism. Now,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: it is true. Technological change does create angst, it creates challenges.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: It's change, and in a sense, it separates adults from
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: those who never grew into adults. It separates those who
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: take responsibility for their own life against those who don't.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: And those who don't are going to complain and yell
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: and cry, and many of them, many of them were
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: resort to violence, because you know, that's what you do
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: when you don't know how to deal with the world
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: around you, and you don't have the tool to deal
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: with the world around you, you ignore your own reason. That
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: is what happens when from your little child, you are
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: taught not to be responsible for yourself, not to think
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: for yourself, not to do for yourself, but to expect
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: somebody else to come and bail you out. So, yeah,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: technological change creates angst and often leads us towards political
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: violence as a consequence of that angst. Okay, let's see
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: if we go live.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: From him all the way up to JD. Vans, who
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: is this kind of perfect avatar of that critique of
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: the way societies functioned for.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: The last Yeah, this is this is who they This
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: is the hero now. JD. Vance is the leftist conservative hero.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: He is the anti capitalist, anti American socialist hero of
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: the right. And this is who this is who they're
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: they're pushing for. This is who they're at.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: With thirty forty years. Because Nski points out, he says, Yeah,
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: that's that was always going to happen, and this, this
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: change in society was always going to lead to lots
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: and lots of decay, that are going to alienate us
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: from nature, that are going to alienate us from society,
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: that are going to treat human beings as machines and commodities.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is so Russeau and Marx, and all
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: alienation language is Russou and Marx. This is pure leftist garbage.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: And this is what's missing, what's really really missing. Wh's
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: really really missing is capitalism, freedom, individualism, personal responsibility. If
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: you teach people for generation after generation they shouldn't take
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: responsibility that American way of the nineteenth century, that American spirit.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Don't tread on me.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: No, no, no no. I need government to protect my job.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: I need government to protect my income. I need goverman
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: to protect my children. I need goven to protect everything
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: from competition, from those evil immigrants, from from all the stuff.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Otherwise they'll be decay and and and and they will
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: be decay and transhumanism and a computer on every desk
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: and the internet and AI. Oh my god, all right,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: I've had enough of him. This is the right. These
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: are the conservatives. This is the alternative to the left.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: You got Marxist on the left of you Marxist on
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: the right of you, or leftist on the left of you,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: leftist on the right of you, anti capitalist on the left,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: anti capitalist on the right. They just talk into something different,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: a different type of anarchy. The right hawkens to an
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: anarchy of tradition, of of of of primitivism. The left
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: hawkens to an anarchy of primitivism. You know what's the difference. Really,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: They both want anarky in a sense. They both want
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: going back to the caves in a sense, but going
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: back to twelve to twenty or whatever. The left wants
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: to do it in the name of the environment. The
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: right wants to do it in the name of God.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: But they all want they want the same thing. They
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: want the state running the economy. The right wants to
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: state running the economy for the sake of the nation,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: whatever the hell that means. The left wants to state
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: running the economy for the sake of I don't know
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: the politarian, the oppressed, the minority groups, but they're all
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: the same. They're all the same. This is who you
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: align with if you align today with the Republican Party.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: This is who you align with if you align with
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump. This is who you align with in particular,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: if you align with JD events truly, truly, truly horpable.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: All right, we have eaten up a lot of time.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna we're gonna kind of zip through the
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: rest of the stories. Uh, there's no none of these
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: are gonna take us too deep in. I'm gonna show
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: you one graph, one video, but we're gonna go through
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: the news. All right. Yeah, Notice, notice what unites the
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: left and the right. One more thing. Somebody said, hate us,
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: But the hate comes from fear. The the origin of
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: it all is fear. I mean, what they fear is individualism,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: both left and right. What they fear is progress, What
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: they fear is technology. What they fear is man achieving
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: great things. What they fear success. It's not true you
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: are on the left wants communism. The right what's anarchy?
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: The left doesn't want communism. It wants some crazy amalgamation
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: of of Uh what is it called. I mean Trump
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: is more communist than most of the left. Look at
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: the you know he wants to he wants equity stakes
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: in all the companies. The Republican Party is not center right.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Public Can Party is far to the left on economic issues.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: I mean Trump wants equity stake in companies. That that
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: is socialism. That's the definition of it. We'll get to
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: the impact that's had on intel the left. The left
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: wants socialism in the name of the oppressed, and it wants,
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: you know, justice in the name of racial justice, and
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: the right wants oppression. I mean this right, the Trump right,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: certainly the Vance right. Once you press you in the
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: name of the state and then the name of heritage Americans,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: which doesn't say in the name of race, they're both racists.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: So no, I mean, there's nothing. And again there's nothing.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, what of the left's economic policies. There's the
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: right reject I mean a wealth tax. Right now, the
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: right rejects wealth taxes. My guess is that that will change.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: My guess is that in four or five years, the
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: right will join the left in advocating for wealth tax.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: It's already happened in the UK. Reform is not objecting
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: to a wealth tax, and they want to nationalize industry,
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: just like the right in the United States is trying
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: to nationalize certain aspect of industry. I mean, the Republican
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: Party I wish was center right, but it's not. It's
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: given up on the center right. It's become populist right,
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: leading towards nationalist Christian right. Listen to Vance, Listen to
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: listen to Rubio. Listen to Rubio. Not only the right
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: ones anarchy at its most extreme. The right wants a
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: religious dictatorship. But it's most extreme. That's what it wants,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: That's what Dvance ultimately wants. They want to impose their
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: religious morality on all of us. They were religious religion everywhere.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: There is another group that's anarchist, but they will never
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: achieve political power because anarchy. Anarchy is when political power centralized,
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: political power dissipates, and you know, everybody's jockeying for political
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: power and everybody's shooting at everybody. The far right wants
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: absolute control, just like the fall left. One wants it
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: in the name of socialism, the other ones in the
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: name of tradition and religion, but will embrace socialism not
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: to get it all right Iran, so I told yesterday
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: the US has reimposed uh the A blockade on Uranian ports.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: It started today this afternoon. I guess it also launched
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: new strikes on Iran. Same tit for tat strikes, same
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: thing defense, you know, a defense systems. Uh, you know,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: ports and uh and a few you know, the same
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: stuff that they've been bombing for the last week they
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: bombed again. Uh. There seems to be an endless supply
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: of these things on the Uranian side. Then Trump, you
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: remember yesterday I told you he wants twenty percent fee
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: on cargo through the States of Homos. Well, somebody told
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: him that that was illegal. That's the whole case they
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: made against the Iranians doing it, and that, you know,
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: the shipping lanes are being open and free and the
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: Americans have been committed to that for a long time,
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: and he really shouldn't do it. I'm sure the Saudis
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: and the uae s and the Katawis and the Kuwaitis
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: all called him up panicking about the twenty percent. What
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: the hell are you talking about? So what he's done
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: is he's he said, no, no, no, I'm waiving the
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: twenty percent fee on cargo through the States of Homoes
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: and instead I'm going to ask all these Gulf states
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: to make investment deals in the United States. And of
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: course they're happy to make investment deals in the United States.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: Nobody's ever going to call them on it. Nobody is
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: ever going to actually force them to do it. They
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: can say we're going to invest fifty five trillion dollars
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: in the US and Trump will go, oh, so cool,
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: I'll give you whatever you want. That is so amazing,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: and it will never happen, and nobody will ever call
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: them on it. So yeah, So the straits of Homoes
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: will be open to the extent that the American Navy
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: is able to keep them open. Not clear whether they
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: are willing to commit the resources to doing that yet
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: and whether they have a plan on how to do that.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: They are blocking all ships in and out of you
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: on and we will see in the next few days.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: Right what exactly, you know, what exactly the United States
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: is willing or not willing to do in order to
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: keep shipping in the States of Homos flowing. Trump did
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: say that the US will hit Iranian pop plants and
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: bridges next week unless the Ranians get to the stable
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: and negotiate. These are the people, he said, constantly lie
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: and never stick to an agreement. But why not let's
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: try one more time. Let's have a negotiation. So you're
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: still on the negotiation path. I told you from the beginning.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: There's only one legit outcome for this war, and that
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: is regime change. Legit complete regime change, which constitutes unconditional surrender.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: Trump is not thinking like that. He's not advocating for that,
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: he's not trying to do that. The sanctioning people, the
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: freezing Uranian assets. I thought all the Iranian assets were
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: already were already frozen. And in the meantime, ran is
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: firing it quait, it's firing at other countries.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: It's just a disaster.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: And it's not clear what the Trump administration is hoping
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: to get out of all of this. It's it's, you know,
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: continued blockade. And I hope we can help some ships
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: sneak out of the Gulf. And in the meantime, gas
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: prices go up, all prices go up, economic pressure globally
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: on Trump to Katadial, what does he do? Who knows?
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Who knows? Yeah, I mean he came up with a
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: statement today he says oil is flowing like never before
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: thanks to the awesome power of the United States military. No,
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: oil is flowing that never before because of the oil
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: and gas industry in the United States, which has unbelievably
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: capacity and jacked up production in the name of in
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: the face of higher prices in order to make a profit.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: So oil is flowing like never before because of the
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: little bit of capitalism we have and because of the
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: profit motive. The profit motive is what is driving oil
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: prices up. He says, the special salute to Secretary of
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: War Pete Hexseth, Chairman and or Chief of Staff because
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: of them and all members of the most powerful military
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: anyway in the world. How about using it by far,
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: the State of Homos is open to all ship traffic
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: except for you on not true. Almost no ships are
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: traveling through the States and Homoes right now, almost none,
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: and that is because of their lying, violent, malicious leadership,
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: which is taking them down the path of total the destruction.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: We will therefore have a full billcade, but.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: Only on ships coming to and from Iranian ports, on
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: carrying anything have to do with the Iranian cargo. Based
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: on highly productive conversations with Middle East leaders, I've decided
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: to replace the twenty percent United States reimbursement fee will
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: trade and investment deals that various Gulf states will be
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: making into the United States. Complete lie and made up.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: He realized that a twenty percent was never going to happen.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: Those investments will be massive, but at the same time
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: extraordinary good for them and their future. As everyone is aware,
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: we have the largest dollar investment into the United States
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: of any country in history. Well, yeah, the United States
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: is the only country in history that can get dollar
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: investment into the United States. So that is a sentence
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: somebody should have edited. But then again, the people who
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: read this as followers are not particularly concern with the
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: grammar and the truth of anything, particularly the truth of
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: anything that he says. Let's see the thumb. Yes, these
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: new investments will make the number even larger. We will
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: see factories, plants, and equipment points at the United States
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: to start level, and we will create additional millions of
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: high paying jobs, American jobs, American jobs, not other people's jobs.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: America is winning again, winning like never before. The days
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: of Yuon killing hundreds of thousands of people, including fifty
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: two thousand protesters, are over, and most importantly, I won
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: will never have a nuclear weapon. Iranians are still killing protesters.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: I mean they're killing the people they captured, they were
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: executing them. Yeah, Iran hasn't changed one iota, and if anything,
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: they're more likely to get an nuclear bomb not less
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: so in a meantime, Donald Trump did actually notify Congress
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: that a new war has started with you on a
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: war with no objective other than to open the straits
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: of the straight and Foremost, which was already open before
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: the previous war was engaged in. So we talked about
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: ICE yesterday. We talked about ice last week. Second killing
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: in two weeks, this time of somebody who was here
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: legally had papers uh and uh and was shot again
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: during a stop. But this time ICE is not claiming
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: that he tried to run anybody over. Uh. This time
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: he was a danger because he was I guess driving
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: away and they shot him while driving away. It's just horrible.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: It seems like all this pressure, all this media, all
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: this uh, you know, all their tension that we all
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: of us and and and and uh you know everybody
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: has been giving ICE UH is is working because ice
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: uh Ice today. ICE today announced that they've instructed the
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: people to immediately cease more most vehicle stops during immigration
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: enforcement operations nationwide, except for operations targeting the most egregious
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: kerminal aliens. Now remember, most of their catches, most of
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: the deportation catches have been through traffic stops, through stopping automobiles.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: So this comes after two people were killed by ICE
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: and shootings in Texas and a main in the last
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: week and incidents that began as traffic stops. DHS alleges
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: one of these incidents was a ramming attempt. No evidence
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: of that so far. Now we suppose to this is
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: only temporary until ICE officers get this, get this, until
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: ICE officers received new training on vehicle stops. Yeah, they're
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: not qualified to do them. Police train for this. There's
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: a procedure, and there's the rule of law that applies
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: to how the police deal with you and me doesn't
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: apply to ICE. They consider themselves above the law. And
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: because the dating was so called illegal immigrants, they don't
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: have any rights, supposedly, So this is going to create
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of frustration among the ICE officers. Good, after all,
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: many of ICE's arrests begin a vehicle stops when they
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: find and follow a target. But yeah, I mean, I
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: guess even the Trump administration is fed up with the incompetence,
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: incompetence of these ICE agents. I mean, it really is,
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: it really is horrific, right, the behavior of ICE and
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: how they've conducted themselves, the lack of training, the lack
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: of abiding by basic policing codes of how to interact
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: with people, and uh and and look they were they're
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: hiring people really really fast. The recruiting supposed to be
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: the shooting in Maine was done by a brand new recruit.
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: To ICE, you've got very little training, and it's probably
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: a thug because then they don't care who they take in.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, what an opportunity if you're if you're kind
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: of a right wing hater of immigrant, thuggish human being,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: and ICE is saying, hey, we're paying a lot of
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: money to come come and work for us, and you
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: get to beat up on immigrants who you hate anyway.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, who's not going to go and take that job.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm glad that they are backing off. I'm
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: glad they're backing off at least from the from stopping
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: motists in the because I think that'll make things a
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: lot better. Hopefully it will also reduce the number of
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: people they arrest. It's not gonna solve the problem because
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: ICE is still out there and it's got a massive budget,
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: and government agencies with massive budgets never go away, they morph,
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: they adjust, they you know, they and they go. They
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: figure out how to supposedly do their job or use
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: the skill set, the thuggish skill set that they have
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: that they have. All right, let's see, here's the thing
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: about immigration, right, Clearly, immigration is the biggest political issue
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: for Trump. It's a thing he ran on. It's the
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: thing that got him elected. It's a thing that killed
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: the Biden administration. But even in the first Trump presidency
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, this is the thing they got him elected.
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: People are fed up with him. They fed up with
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: illegal immigrants, in particular. They blame them for a lot
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: of our troubles. Trump did a lot to help them,
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: blame for a lot of our troubles. So you'd think,
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: right that the top priority for this administration would be
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: reforming our immigration system, scrapping the crazy immigration system that
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: we have, but putting together something better, something that reflects
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: their values more, you know, stopping closing the border. Yeah,
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: that worked, they got that. They got some credit for
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: that from their voters at least. But then what, here's
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: the thing. Trump has done nothing, literally, not a to
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: actually promote immigration reform, to actually pass a bill in
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: Congress for a different immigration status. Now you could say, oh,
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: the Democrats, they won't pass anything. He could try. He
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: could make it an election issue. He can point out
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: the Democrats that held it up and didn't allow it
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: to pass and make it a big deal. But you see,
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: Trump doesn't really care about immigration. He cares about it
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: only in that it serves a political purpose. But he
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: doesn't want to reform immigration. He doesn't want any and
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: he doesn't he doesn't care about Congress. He doesn't care
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: about the long run. So you know, there's no real reform, no,
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: you know, comparans of immigration reform, which is what they
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: should try to do, and.
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: Embarrassed Democrats who won't sign foot.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: Some of them will be worried because the fact is
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: that majority of Americans believe in immigration reform, sadly along
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: the lines closer to Trump than to me. Why doesn't
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: he use that because he doesn't care. He just doesn't care.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: And what he really wants, what Stephen Miller really wants,
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: is just to close the border and not let people in. Legal, illegal,
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter to them. They just don't want people in, unless,
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: of course, you're Europeans in particular, so white South Africans
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: running away from supposedly violence against you. Then those are
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: white open we love you. Then it's interesting because you know,
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: Trump is fighting with the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, d C.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: About their interpretation of American history. And look, their interpretation
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: of American history is rabid leftists. So it's really really bad.
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: But here's an example of something they're really making a
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: big deal out of. According to Swithsonian, the eighteen eighty
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: two Chinese Exclusion.
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: Act was racist.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: It was intend to keep Chinese out because Americans and
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: particularly new American immigrants from Europe didn't like the Chinese.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: They didn't want their labor competition, and they liked them.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: And the Trumpani stations fighting the Swithsonian over this. No, no, no, no,
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: that wasn't racist, not at all. It was it was
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: you know, they were taking the jobs. And these were
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: real grievances only against Chinese people, by the way, but
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: real grievances. I mean, it turns out that a huge
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: number of Chinese went back to China because of this.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: The Chinese population Asian population in the United States would
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: be significantly higher if not for the Chinese Exclusion Act.
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: And you know, the huge anti Chinese movements all over California.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: It started in California. But you know, the Trumpet administration
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: wants to rewrite history.
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: Rewrite history.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: Now the left has already. We've written a bunch of history.
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: But what we don't need is the left and the
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: right fighting over which version of history rather than seeking truth.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: That's what they don't do, seek truth. The Chinese Exclusion
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: Act reduced the Chinese labor supply by sixty four percent,
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: produced negative massive negative effects. Negative effects included reducing mail
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: white male labor supply by twenty eight percent and whites
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: on average moving from higher paying jobs to lower paying jobs.
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: The lower labor supply caused a slow down in growth
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: in the western parts of the United States. Chinese exclusion
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: probably reduced total manufacturing out put by sixty two percent
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: reduced a number of manufacturing establishment by fifty four percent
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: to sixty nine percent. Yep I mean immigration exclusion is
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: bad economic policy. Immigration exclusion is bad economic policy, whether
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: it's driven by xenophobian racism or driven by other stuff.
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: All right, that was immigration quickly anti trust. All right,
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: we're way behind here, all right, but you guys have
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: paid into the third hours, so we're in great shape, right.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: You know, you remember we talked about a few months
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: ago the deal where Palamount was was going to buy
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: was buying Warner Brothers after Netflix try to buy Warner Brothers.
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: But the Trumpet administration basically said, it appears Trumpet administation
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: basically said, we're not going to prove the Netflix Warner
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: Brothers deal. We will approve a Palamont Warner Brothers because
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: Palmount is run by you know, the number one, I
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: think the largest donors of the Trump campaign, which is
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: Larry Ellison, Larry Ellison's son. But the money is Larry
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: Ellison's money. So we didn't allowed the Pamount to buy
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: one of Brothers of one hundred and ten billion dollars.
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: And the basically the Justice Department said, yeah, don't look here,
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: there's nothing here. So whereas most Justice departments would have
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: at least looked at this. Now I'm against anti trust,
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: I don't believe they should, but they said. Trump basically
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: gave them a signal that this was supposed to be approved,
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: and it was. Pamount also secured approval for the deal
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: from twenty four national and international regulatory agencies, claiming that
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: the deal would expand output and benefit workers. Well. Today,
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: eleven states, including California, sued in federal courts a block
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: Palamount the deal based on anti trust. The attorney generals
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: alleged the merger would quote raise prices, would use consumer choice,
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: and cost many Americans their jobs. They claimed that the
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: combined the entity would control twenty seven percent of theatrical field,
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: film distribution, and basic cable markets in violation of the Act.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: Clayton Act is the follow on act to the Sherman
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: Act that kind of defined more clearly what anti trust constituted.
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: So you know that lawsuit is going to go is
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: going to go ahead.
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: In addition, the Writer's Guild of America is suing Powamount
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: and Warner Brothers alleging one hundred and ten million dollar
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: merger would harm competition in film and television writing. So
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: the deal is not a done deal yet. It has
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: to go to courte It will be dealt with the quote. Now,
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know what happens in the meantime. I guess
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: as the deal goes through, and then I guess if
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: they find against the deal, then they split it up again. Uh,
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: Pamon has to spin out Warner Brothers. But this saga
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: is going to continue, is going to continue for a while.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: All right, interesting, m all right? Next story, Intel Intel,
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: intil Intel. So, as you know, uh, the Trumpet administration
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: has taken an equity stake in Intel, uh and has
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: basically provided Intel with downside protection. Basically, Intel is not
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: going to go bankrupt because the government is going to
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: bail them out whenever needed. Indeed, Intel's stock as quadrupled
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: since the government took that that position, because the market
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: believes that the government will do everything they can to
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: keep Intel alive and thriving. Now, how can they affect
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: Intel striving? Well? For example, one thing they can do
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: is when Apple comes to them and asks for a
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: reprieve from the one hundred percent tariffs on semiconductor components,
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: then Trump can say, okay, Apple, I'll give you the reprieve,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: but in exchange, I want you to buy Intel chips
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: made in America, not all your chips, but I want
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: you to sign a deal with the Intel to buy
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: their chips. Now, at the time, you know, when Trump
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: actually made this request of Apple request with the gun
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: to the forehead, Intel was struggling mightily after being kind
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: of shut out of the EIE boom and Apple having
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: abandoned Intel a few years ago for their own chip
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: designs that were being produced manufactured by TSMC in Taiwan.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: But now the Trumpet administration is Intel's largest shareholder, and
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: the Trumpet administration controls the fate of Apple tariffs so
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: it can match make. This is the kind of government
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: run you know, so called markets the China engages in,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: the Japan engaged in in the past, that South Korea
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: is engaged in in the past. It creates massive market distortions,
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: it reduces competitiveness.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: But this is exactly what's going on.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: And you want to tell me that the right is
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: not socialist, this is socialism. This is the government taking
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: equity positions, choosing winners and losers, and then using that
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: and the rest of the leverage they get from having
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: a gun pointed at every company potentially in America, using
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: it to benefit to create winners the companies that they want,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: and to create losers other companies that they don't like. Woke,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: you know, this is you know, we're worried about the
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: left doing this, and we're worried about I don't know,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: rent control. This is in many sense worse than rent control.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: This is destroying the one area in which the United
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: States had relative freedom tech and the governor now stepping
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: into it and creating all the disincentives and destructive incentives,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: and and the the the the conyism and u market
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: distortions that government interference always has. We're taking the more.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: It's important the industry in the United States today, that
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: is driving our economy, that is leading our economy, and
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: we're putting it under the thumb of government, not through
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: the regulatory process. Who needs regulation when you can just
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: get aboard at the board board at the sorry a
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: seat at the board. Well, you can just have equity
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: and you become the largest share in the United States
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: is the largest shareholder intel Intel listens, there's largest shareholder.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: All right, Uh, let's see how was that? What do
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: we woke? Woke is a graph. I want to show
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: you this graph.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, it's a graph.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: This is DEI commitments in corporate security disclosures filed with
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: the SEC right and you can see that you know this,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: These DII kind of disclosure started in the early twenty teens,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: and they slowly increased and then they went you know,
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: exponential during COVID and in the period after COVID under
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: the Bide administration. And really they've collapsed, just collapsed since
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: the election. And you know this supposed by Paul Graham,
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: and he says to me, this seems a trailing indicator.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: Most other measures of wokeness take off well before twenty
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: nineteen and peak in twenty twenty twenty one. But the shape,
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: that's what a moral fashion looks like. Yes, this is
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: a moral fashion. This is where everybody's virtue signaling to
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: everybody else. This is the right thing to do. We
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: have to stick it in the financial statements we have
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: to make. You have to let the world no, we
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: have to do all these things. And you know, for
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: those of you who've forgotten that the late teens and
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: early COVID era, God, everybody was on the di I thing.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, racial identity was at the full front of everything.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: So I thought I'd changed that, all right, So yeah,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: I thought, I show you this graph a peak woke. Now, look,
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of it is. They changed the name, but
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: some companies have fired their HR people that brought them
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: to woke. There's real change going on, and there's a
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: lot less talk about woke, about DII and woke more generally.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: But the graph is pretty illustrative and pretty dramatic, and
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: I don't think we're going to get back to those numbers.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: You know. Again, they'll be in the background. People will
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: still be doing some of this stuff, but not quite
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: at the same level. And it won't be like this
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: is virtue because that requires advocacy, that requires signaling, that
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: requires and I think that's gone. I think that were over.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: And then the question is what is going to be
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: the next maral panic? But this was a real moral panic,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: all right, So that is that? What else did it? Oh?
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: Quick story about Hong Kong.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: Hong Kong up until up until up until twenty twenty,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: freest country in the world, freest economy in the world.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: And then in twenty twenty, under the while everybody was
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: busy with COVID, China basically took it over and has
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: controlled Hong Kong with a much tighter.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: Fist since twenty twenty.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: Well, just as a great illustration of the end of
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: Hong Kong, capitalism of Hong Kong, liberty of Hong Kong markets.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: Hong Kong just launched a two month public consultation for
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: its first ever five year plan for economic and social
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: development that would apply from twenty twenty six to twenty
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: thirty and would align the city's economic goals with Mainland
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: China's fifteenth five Year Plan well preserving, preserving in quotation
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: mark it's free market principles. So just saying five year
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: plan and free market principles in the same sentence is
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: a big no no, it's a big yeah that that
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: can't be. That doesn't work. It doesn't work. So sad, really, really,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: really really sad. Hong Kong's was one of my favorite
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: places on planet Earth to go visit. Stunning, amazing, dynamic,
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: full of energy. Skyscraper is beautiful, just an amazing place,
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: an amazing, amazing place. And yeah, and that all because
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: of their femalkets, and much of that, I fear is
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: going to be put under the thumb of you know,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: Chinese regulators, Chinese central planets, under the thumb of a
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: five year plan, a five year plan. All right, let's
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: see bezos. Oh, I want to show you this video.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: This is part of a feel good portion of human achievements.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: All right, let's let's watch this video. It's shot like
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: fifty one minute.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 4: I sometimes wish that there were a and maybe you
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 4: can do this, Andrew, or maybe the Washington Post will
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 4: do this. But somebody needs to make a list where
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 4: they rank people by how much wealth they've created for
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 4: other people. And so instead of the Forbes list that
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 4: ranks you by your own wealth. So you know Amazon's
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 4: market caps two point three trillion today, I owned about,
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 4: you know, two hundred billion ish of it. So if
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 4: you take two point three billion and sob tracked out
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 4: the piece I kept for myself, then you know I've
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 4: created something like two point one trillion of wealth for
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 4: other people. That should put me pretty high on some
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 4: kind of list. And that's a better list. You know,
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 4: how much wealth have you created for other people? You know,
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 4: the people like Jensen and Nvidia. He's going to be
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 4: very high on that list. And that would be a
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 4: pretty cool list. Somebody should do that list.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: I think that is a very cool list. I And
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: you know, this sounds altruistic, right, It sounds a little altruistic.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: You know, I'vedentifi.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: But he's not apologizing for his own two hundred billion.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: He's just saying, at the same time as I created
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: two hundred billion for myself, there's two point one trillion
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: dollars out there of wealth in the pockets of other
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: people that didn't exist before I created Amazon. And it's
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: absolutely true that the economists have estimated that, you know,
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: of the amount of value that an entrepreneur like Jeff
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: Bezos creates they get to keep, that is their reward
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: for the values that they're creating, is about two percent
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: of the total value created. Now Here, this is just
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: a This is just the value of the company. It
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: is not the value to all the consumers. Here, he's
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: got about ten percent of the total value created. Right,
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: two hundred billion out of two point one trillion is
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: I think, if my math is right, about ten percent.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: But how much.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: Value has you know, Visus created for me.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: And for you and for everybody else's whose life is better?
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: The two hundred billion is a drop in the ocean
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: as compared to how much he's created for all of us.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: So Amazon has probably created over ten trillion dollars of value,
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: probably a lot more than that. Ten pieces has two
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: hundred billion, And if you look at that way, it's
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: not that much, not that much. So I still wish
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: Visas was even more forceful, But at least he's trying
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: to make a point. He's trying to defend himself. He's
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: trying to point out the massive value that he and
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: entrepreneurs like him, you know. He mentions Nvidia, Jensen and
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: Nvidia people like that, the amount of value that they
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: have created in the world, which is just, you know, unbelievable.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: It's the modern world that we live in. Is a
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: modern world created by entrepreneurs like him. That's where it
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: comes from. All this wealth we have around us didn't
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: just pop out of existence, and it wasn't the workers
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: who made it. The workers got paid based on their
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: level of contribution. So yeah, good for je Zus being
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: on the road, you know, basically making these points and trying,
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: even when it's flawed, but really making an effort to
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: articulate the case in defense of in the defense of
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: his own wealth. All right, let me just pull up.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: Let me just pull this up. Why am I not
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: able to hmm? That is weird. I can't get to
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: the to the web page where I had the positive stories.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: Let me see if I can get it on my phone. Mhm.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: That's that. H M. All right, all right, a few
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: a few again, amazing stuff continues to happen. Uh in
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: the field of of of cancer treatment of new medications.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: So the FD ages to prove the new targeted breast
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: cancer drug which dramatically increases survivability and extends life. And
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: this is for the for women who have kind of
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: stage four and the worst. Nothing else has helped and
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: yet this extends life significantly and and provides more options. Uh.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: You know, at the same time, there was there's a
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: new and a new drug that is the showing promise
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: with rectal cancer and uh it is now in in
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: in kind of mid stage trials, but the indications are
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: that it could extend or treat wreck the cancer. And
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: then there's a drug out Somebody send me the story earlier.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: There's a big trial being launched right now of a
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: new drug for Alzheimer's disease, which is going to be
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: given to people before they get to Alzheimer's, people who
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: are highly susceptible to it. You know at time is
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: at least for some people, is a genetic issue. If
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: you have certain genes, you are most susceptible to Alzheimer's.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: One of the reasons you should all get genetically tested
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: so you can you know whether you're susceptible or not.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: And therefore whether you should get on a drug like this.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: So the idea is to give these people the drug
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: before they show symptoms and see compared to a placebo,
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: if it has a real impact on reducing the probability
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: of developing Alzheimer's or delaying it completely or eliminating it
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: as a threat is significant. Al time is is probably
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: the biggest health issue, you know, affecting age old age
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: that we have today, and there's no really good treatments.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: But there's a lot of kind of on the CUSP
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: very close breakthroughs. So this is a big trial on
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: one of the drugs that they're very hopeful about. We'll
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: see if it is the breakthrough everybody expects it is.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: And what else did I see here? Yeah, a lot
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: of a lot of investment and semiconductors. TSMC is reporting
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: it's fifth Street quota of record earnings. So they're doing
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: phenomenally well because because of their whole AI revolution and
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: the building out of the data centers. Uh so AI
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: I mean think, I think the biggest beneficiaries economic beneficiaries
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: of the AI revolution are going to be companies like
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: t SMC and in Vidia. The people who sell the
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: picks and the shovels to the gold miners. I'm not
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: sure the software companies are going to be the real
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: beneficiaries long term. And then another semiconductor company called Tower,
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: which is actually an Israeli semiconductor company, just announce a
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: three billion dollar chip manufacturing expansion in Japan and they
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: are targeting something called silicon photonics, which uses light to
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: move data faster between AI chips and silicon germanium technology
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: for faster and more efficient and effective devices. So again,
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of investment in new semiconductor technologies out there,
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: and there's going to be increased competition, but there's so
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: much profit, There's so much money to be made here.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: There's plenty of room for lots of players to participate. Yeah,
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: I mean science, technology keeps chucking along. And then US
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: got a lot of crime stories, but we've already covered those.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: I mean again, crime is massively declining in the United States.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: Go figure out in spite of the fact that Michael
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: knows claim that political violence is increasing, Maybe it is
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: regular violent crime is massively decreasing. Maybe because of transhumanism
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: or capitalism, I don't know, whatever, whatever whatever ales out
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: society today.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: Somehow is also reducing crime.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: All right, everybody, that is the news for this Tuesday,
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: July fourteenth, the day that Spain beat fans in the
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: semi finals of the World Cup. All right, let us
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: turn to our superchat before that of our mind. You know,
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: we're only one hundred and twenty four dollars away from
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: our third hour goal, which would be just amazing. If
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: we could reach that, that would be really exciting. So
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: anybody who wants participate please consider doing so. You can
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: use a sticker, which is just a trade value for value.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: Thank you John for the sticker and exit exit, and
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: uh Mary Eleen and who else did the stickers? Most
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: almost everybody did questions today. Very little money came in
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: from stickers. It's all questions, all right. I'll also remind
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: you that you can support the show on Patreon, Patreon,
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: dot com and h and PayPal and become a monthly supporter,
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: a regular monthly supporter. That would be really cool. That
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: is the best way ultimately to support the show. So
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: those are you, particularly who are not live right now
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: on not on YouTube, uh, just pop on a Patreon,
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: create an account, search your on book show and make
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: a contribution and and then it just comes out of
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: your credit card every month at whatever amount you would
• 1:19:54

  Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty you get a one on one
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: with me once every three months. Five hundred you get
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: one on one with me every month, and a bunch
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: of other pooks. By the way, we achieved our fifteen
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars goal for the production of the documentary, So
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, Thank you to everybody who participated.

  Speaker 1: regret it. Okay, and what else did I have? That's it?
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: Those our sponsors. Let's jump in to the superchat. We've
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: sixty two dollars away from the three hour goal for
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: today's show.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: Let's start with one hundred Canadian dollars.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: We've got two Canadians doing one hundred dollars. That's that's amazing.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: Aj aj the dragon uhge emergence question. Why assume morality
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: emerges from inte intelligence? My hypothesis is that morality requires
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: a self maintaining being with existence at stake. Come an
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: AI can optimize but has no welfare or survival of
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: its own?
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: Where does the system model break down?
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: So I don't understand the question because I don't understand
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: the alternative? What does it mean assume morality emerges from intelligence?
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: Who argues that? Who claims that? I don't know? Who
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: claims that? Certainly, objectivism doesn't claim that, Iran doesn't claim
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: claim that. I mean morality requires a being with an alternative,
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: the alternative existence to non existence, and once the being
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: and a non automatic means of existence, that is a
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: real choice, And where real effort is required in order
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: to live versus alternative to exist versus alternative death or
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: non existence. And in the face of that, once existence
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: is chosen, one needs a guide on how to exist,
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: on what to do in order to sustain life, what
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: to do in order to thrive as a living being.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: We don't Animals don't need morality because their value is automatic.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: They know what to pursue automatically. Human beings need morality
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: because then they don't know, they don't have the programming.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: So once a human being decides they want to live,
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: and no overwhelming majority of us does, now they need guidance.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: How do I live?
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 2: What do I do?
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: What choices do I make? What values do I pursue?
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: What virtues that I live by in order to achieve
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: those values? And that's the all the morality to explain that. Now, look,
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: AI can't have morality because it's not alive, it's not conscious.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: It's a mirage of consciousness, it's a mirage of life.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: And if AI doesn't have values and it doesn't have
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: the fundamental choice of existence and non existence it has,
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: you can unplug it or plug it, but there's no
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: consciousness that disappears there's no death. There's no death, so no,
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: morality does not emerge from intelligence. I mean emerges from
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: intelligence in a sense that you need intelligence in order
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: to figure out how is a human being should live.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: But at least for now, morality only applies to human beings.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: Does not apply to computers. We don't know of the
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: existence of aliens, and it does not apply to animals.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: It applies to human beings because we're free will and
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: because we don't have the programming, we don't have the
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: automatic knowledge of how we should live, how to actually
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: conduct ourselves in order to thrive or survive. All right,
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: did I can't remember when I last thanked. I think
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: I thank John, but I don't think I thank Jeremy
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: for the sticker. Thank you, Jeremy really appreciate it. Let's see,
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: so hopefully I answered that aj Jamie from Canada. Some
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: say US canning mosaic mosatik in nineteen fifty three. This
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: is the Iranian Prime minister in nineteen fifty three, ultimately
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: led to IOGC kramass Wolla and funding of terrorism. That
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: Western involvement in Middle East destabilizes, destabilize the region, and
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: today's problems are partly mostly us fault. Your thoughts, any
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 1: good books on this, thank you love the show. I mean,
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: this is a complicated issue, and we'd have to get
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: into a deep dive into the history, which I intend
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: to do with Nikos at some point. And there's not
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of good authoritative history books about this stuff.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: But there are a lot of fallacies around the nineteen
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: fifty three revolution, and there's certainly all a lot of
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 1: fallacies around this idea of Western involvement in the East
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: destabilized the region. I mean, let's do just a little
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: bit of history. Most of them add least not Ivan,
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: but most of the Middle East was part of the
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: Ottoman Empire, and so the Ottoman Empire ruled over most
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: of them Middle East, not Egypt, for example, and not
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: big chunks of Saudi Arabia, and not Iran, but the rest.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: And during different periods of time, because it was a
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: constant war, the Ottoman Empire expanded and shrunk and expanded,
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: and Shunk could expanded Shunk. At some point it was
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: actually on the verge of conquering Vienna and taking control
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: over all of Central Europe. So I don't know why
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: that is considered stable now. World War One happened, and
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: during World War One, the Ottoman Empire could have stayed
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: out of the war. The war was between basically the
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: French and British and versus the Germans, and the Ottoman
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: Empire didn't have to get involved in that war, but
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: it chose to get involved in the war, and it
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: chose to get involved in the war on the side
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: of the Germans, which happened to be the losing sight.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: And as part of that war, Western country is conquered
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: the Middle East from the Ottoman Empire, and that included
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: what today is York and Jordan, and you know, Israel,
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: and and parts of Saudi Arabia that that the Ottoman
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: Empire conquered. You can see loms of Arabia tells part
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: of that story. So now what are they supposed to do.
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: They conquered the place, so rather than stay and turn
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: the Middle East into a colony of the West, they actually,
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: you know, created states. There's never been a Jordan, there's
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: never been really in Iraq, there was never really a Syria.
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: There was a province of their own empire, province of
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: the Ottoman Empire, but out of state, there was never
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: really Elebanon. There certainly wasn't Israel a Palestine. There were
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: you know, again since biblical times, and you know, even
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, there's no such thing. They created states in
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: a place where they had never had states. They'd only
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: have it empires. But see the empire, you know, other
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: Islamic empires. All they were were empires. So I don't
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: know what this Western involvement is. Ottomans decided to get
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: into war. Ottomans were fighting the West for a thousand years.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: Then they decided to get into war, which was none
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: of their business, and they lost, and.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 2: They lost a lot of territory.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: And then the Western countries did kind of, in a sense,
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: the responsible thing by giving the people who lived in
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: these parts their own countries and then at least to
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: some extent, leaving them alone. Now, the second thing the
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: Western involvement did in the Middle East evil Westerners. They
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: discovered oil, and they gave oil value because the industrial
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: evolution was happening in the West, not in the Middle East.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: So Western companies discovered oil in Saudi Arabia and Ini
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: Ran and any Rock and all the Gulf states and
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: all over the place. They discovered oil that was Western companies.
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: What were they supposed to do? And that oil should
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: have been the property of those Western companies who had
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: discovered it under contracts. And then these Middle Eastern county
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: countries abandoned the contracts, threw them out, nationalized oil and
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: took over all the facilities that were built by Western
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: companies who destabilized that. They could have kept the Western
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: companies and shared the spoils, but no, they chose to
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: kick out Western companies and they chose to nationalize it
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: and take control. Who destabilized who in this case? And
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: indeed it was Western companies that created this resource, discovered it,
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 1: created it, refined it, and it's the West that gave
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: it value because it's the West and where it was used.
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 1: So why is the West destabilizing the Middle East? And
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: when it comes to Iran, you know, it isn't true
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: that the United States is the one that overthrew Musadak. Now,
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: Master Duck had been involved in nationalizing the oil in Iwan,
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: oil that was owned by American and British companies. He
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: was also clearly going to outligne the ion with the
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: Soviet Union, with communism and the Shaw of Yuan. At
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 1: the time, there was a Shaw and a prime minister,
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: and the Shavian didn't like him. The Shaw wanted him gone,
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: and the Shaw organized the coup, which yes, the Americans
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: and the British supported, But it was an Iranian coup
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: against an Iranian prime minister. It wasn't an American coup,
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 1: in spite of what they tell you, it wasn't. It
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: was an Iranian coup. It was the Shaw's coup and
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: he got rid of this prime minister, as Shaws do
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: kings do in a constitutional monarchy, and he replaced him
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: with his own guy, with a different prime minister. And
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: the United States supported the Shaw. While he initially returned
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: the oil to the Americans, he later nationalized it himself.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: But generally he was aligned for geopolitical reasons because he
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: was not going to go with the Soviets. He supported
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 1: an America interests, and America supported him until, of course,
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: he was overthrown by the Islamists. So the whole idea
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: that this is all the US vault is just ahistoric.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: There's no parallel universe where the West doesn't get involved
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 1: in the Middle East. It's not possible for the West
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: not to get involved in the Middle East because the
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 1: Middle East constantly get involved with the West, and because
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 1: the West brought many values to the Middle East, oil.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 2: Which they still live off of.
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: How about the Middle East take responsibility for themselves. How
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: about the Uranians take responsibility for their own history. How
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 1: about all these countries take responsibility for their own actions
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: or inactions, for their own oppression of their own people. So, no,
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 1: the mess of the Middle East is a making of Islam.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: It's the making of the people in the Middle East.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: It's the making of the dictators that have ruled the
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: Middle East since they were liberated from the Ottoman Empire,
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: another dictatorship. Now, not if the West is to blame
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: for anything, it's to blame for the fact that when
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: rich Arabs sent their kids to study in the West Primeloda,
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: to study, to study and to learn why the West
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: was so successful. What they were taught in the universities
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: like Paris and Berlin was socialism and fascism. And then
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 1: when they went back to their countries, just like the
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 1: Paul Pot and the Kami Rouge to Cambodia, when they
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: went back to their countries, they established socialist fascist regimes.
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: You can blame the West for that, but that's generally
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: the battle of ideas. Yes, bad ideas in the West
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: have done a lot of harm to the West and
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: to the rest of the world as well. But no,
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: blaming everything on a coup in nineteen fifty three is bizarre.
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: There's so many other things that were going on. There's
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: so many things that could have happened. If Musa Dak
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: had stayed prime minister, what would have happened? Then he
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: would have conflicted at some point with the Shaw There
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: would have been some kind of conflict. If most of
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: that could align to Iran with the Soviet Union, would
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: that had brought freedom to the Middle East, would have
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: made Iran a free, democratic place. The Islamist will still
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: havever voted against it. They hate communism. So no, there's
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: just it's just such a silly blame America for everything
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: attitude that so many people on the left and among
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 1: the libertarians have. All right, Halpa Campbell fifty dollars, Thank you,
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: Jamie for the one hundred Canadian Helpa Campbell says, you
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: don't like the concept of IQ, but how would you
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: classify a genius outside of using the IQ? They were
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: born with? What makes a Newton or Rand. Yes, they
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: were devoted to discovery, but so were many thinkers who
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 1: couldn't produce what they could. Yeah, I mean they had
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: a higher intelligence. I'm just saying i Q from what
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: I understand, it's not a particularly good measure of that intelligence.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: And it's not enough to explain Imrand or Newton that
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: plenty of people, plenty of people born with very high
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: IQs who don't achieve a fraction of what Rand or
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: Newton or Einstein or any of these people achieved. So
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 1: it's not.
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 2: Intelligence is not enough.
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: IQ is measuring something, but I'm not sure it's measuring intelligence, cointelligence,
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: the full scope of intelligence. It's just not a useful measure.
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 1: So what is I don't know, and I don't really care.
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 1: I've never you know, I interact with people, and some
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: people I value it is Yeah, that's guy smart, But
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not interested in how you know in their IQ.
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 1: I'm not interested in quantifying it. Are they smart? Are
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: they honest? Are they hard working? Are they entrepreneurial? Are
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: they ambitious? Those are the things that matter to me,
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: and then of course are they honest they have integrity?
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 2: Those are the things that matter to me.
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: Somebody's IQ literally has zero value in my mind. I've never.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 2: Checked my own IQ. I don't care. I'm not interested in.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: What the number is. I've never been curious about it.
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: It doesn't mean anything to me. I've never asked my
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: friends what they're i Q is. I know some of
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: my friends are really, really intelligent. Some are less intelligent.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: So what I mean the friends? So they have values
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 1: that are meaningful to me. That's all that matters to me.
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 1: And if I was hiring people, I might you don't
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: give them a some kind of test to measure their
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: abilities as they relate to the job that I have
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: in mind. And some of those tests might be tests
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: of intelligence, But I don't believe that one number captures
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: that like IQ test too, and I don't believe it's
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: that importance in the context of everything else. All right,
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: thank you, Help up. Help also asks another fifty dollars
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: thank you. Why hasn't there been another Einstein or Newton?
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: I don't think the mixed economy has drowned them out
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: because we have Bezos and musk. Has the content corruption
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: of physics caused the brain drain? The best minds are
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 1: no longer entering physics, you know, I don't know. Remember
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 1: that for every Bezus and Musk, we had a JD.
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 1: Rockefeller and a Carnegie, and a Melon and.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 2: A JP Morgan.
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 1: So even during the period of Einstein, you still had
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 1: Bizos and Musk. So you know, I don't think Besos
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: and musc are necessarily smarter than.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 2: JP Morgan, But.
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't know. Maybe physics has reached a
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 1: point where, because of the corrupt philosophy, it's very difficult,
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: difficult to make advances, and therefore, even if you get
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 1: geniuses going into the field, they can't move, you know,
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 1: they get stuck on string theory or or some you know,
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: random thing in physics, and they don't actually make any
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 1: dramatic advances that are real because the philosophy doesn't allow it.
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 1: That's a possibility. I don't know enough about physics to
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: be able to tell a lot of geniuses are going
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 1: into I think biological science, and that's why we're getting
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: a lot of breakthroughs there. I don't think more geniuses
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 1: are going now into businesiness that did before, but maybe
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 1: maybe because it's much more lucrative today, maybe because it's
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: not sexier in terms of the startup culture. So it's
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 1: hard to tell. It's hard to tell what exactly is
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: going on why we don't have I mean, I'm more
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 1: interested in knowing why we don't have a Michelangelo and
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 1: why we don't have a Mozart, and why we don't
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 1: have a Beethoven. Why those people don't exist and there.
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 1: I think it's the culture. It's the culture. Could that
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 1: also be what's impacting the sciences. Yep, definitely, the culture
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 1: could be preventing the geniuses from breakthroughs and from even
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 1: going into the fields. Tommy on the chat is sometimes
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 1: such an idiot, Tommy, that's just the reality. Physics. Geniuses
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: are building the rockets to Tehran beating the US. I mean,
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, I give you, I give you points for
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: being funny, because that is a funny statement. He needs
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: geniuses to build the stupid rockets that the Uranians are using,
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 1: the dumb rockets that they use. All right, Andrew, the
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: right feels the left bias. The right feels the left
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: bias in elevating America's faults over its virtues, but it's
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: unable to expose it. Trump response to the Smithsonian is
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: to deny an historical fact rather than contextualize it. But
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: the latter requires abstract thought. Absolutely, they they know, they
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: know that there's something's wrong with what the SIMPSONI is doing,
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 1: but they can't actually name it. They can't define it,
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 1: they can't categorize it. They also don't want to admit
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: to themselves that they might be racist to themselves, so
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 1: they have to couch everything in other terms, So yeah,
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 1: it's absolutely. You'd have to really think, and you'd have
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 1: to have a theory of history, and you'd have to
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: have a theory of America, and you'd have to be
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 1: willing to acknowledge its faults Stavy for example, Jim Crow
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 1: laws for example, the Chinese Exclusion Act for example. But
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: they can't. They have to be blind patriots and ignore
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 1: the faults. Thank you, Andrew appreciated. All right, twenty dollars questions,
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 1: we've got a bunch of those. Let me get a
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 1: simple water here, because all right, now you have a
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: j algorithm is asking whether reality exists? An honest question or
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: an attempt to destroy man's confidence in his own mind,
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: a way to inculcate new articism in schizophrenia. Well, it
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 1: depends on who's asking the question. If you're a teenager
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 1: starting to think about a world and starting to kind
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 1: of investigate your philosophical whatever, and you entertain the idea
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 1: what does it mean to ask the question if reality
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 1: really exists? And yeah, but if I ask that question,
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 1: what does it mean that I am asking it? Do
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: I exist? If I'm asking it, then I at least exist,
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 1: So something in the reality exists. I mean, you go
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 1: by that path, So it could be an honest question.
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 1: But if you're a sophisticated, you know, well educated, well
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 1: read philosopher, then yeah, it's it's just a it's either
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 1: massive evasion or an active attempt at destruction at nihilism.
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 1: But I wouldn't say that anybody who ever asks does
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: reality exist? Is dishonest and a nihilist. But I certainly
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: think the more sophisticated you are, the more Yeah, that's
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: probably what's going on all right now? You evay algorithm again.
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 1: John Starsel just released a video about nuclear power making
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 1: a big comeback. Alex Epstein seems to have been very
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 1: effective in relatively short period of time. Or is nuclear
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 1: power being deregulated to fuel AI data centers? Well, I
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 1: think both. I think Alex has been very effective. I
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 1: think there's broadly being a movement even among some environmentalists,
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: not a lot, but some environmentalists. But there's broadly being
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 1: a movement to resurrect nuclear energy because it's clean. Because
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 1: it's clean Visa v CO two. And I do think
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 1: a lot of people are pushing for using it for
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 1: data centers. Now. I think to say it's making a
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 1: big comeback is an exaggeration. This stuff moves so slowly.
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 1: If it is making a comeback, it's just at the
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: very beginning of that comeback, and it's super slow. But yeah,
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 1: I think Alex is being super effective. And reality has
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 1: punished those who are being anti anti nuclear, like the Germans,
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 1: and people are realizing that and you.
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 2: Know, changing their minds.
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 1: Alex plus reality it is always a good combination. Author
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 1: to what question. While I love that objectivism demands unapologetic justice,
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 1: I wonder how that applies to events that have happened
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 1: to you in the past that we can't correct without
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 1: causing more chaos in our lives. While we are all
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 1: victims of irrationality injustice, we shouldn't make it our identity.
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 1: Once we adopt that victim mentality, there's no chance of
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 1: being successful in life. Yeah. Absolutely. But I don't think
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 1: justice ever, ever, ever, ever involves adopting a victim mentality.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 1: It's about seeking justice. It's about people getting what they deserve.
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean, if there's a cost to getting
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 1: people to get what they deserve and that cost is
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 1: too high, then don't do it. But at least you
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 1: know what they deserve, you know. I mean, justice is
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 1: primarily a virtue, is a selfish virtue. It's for you,
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: the kind of world you want to live in, the
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 1: kind of life you want to have. And mainly, if
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 1: somebody's hurt you, maybe it's too expensive and too difficult
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 1: to punish them in a particular way. But the very
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 1: least you know now to stay away from that person.
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 1: And that's part of what justice requires.
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 2: So it depends what you mean by justice. But justice never.
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 1: Should lead you on the path of adopting a victim mentality.
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 1: That would be completely irrational and and and uh destructive
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 1: to your own life. Michael, why do we need art
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 1: So just a quick question, Huh, why is reality not enough?
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 1: Why is there need for an artificial arrangement of concretes? Well,
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 1: because reality is too busy there's too much going on
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 1: in reality for us to actually observe in reality a
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 1: concretization of our most abstract values. Now, once in a
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 1: while that's possible, you know.
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 3: The the.
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 1: Launching of Apollo to the Moon is a is a
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 1: great concretization and is you know, in in that sense,
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 1: serves a very similar function that art does. But art
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 1: essentializes the most important It doesn't give you reality with
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 1: everything that's in reality. It focuses your mind on those
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 1: elements of reality that the artists think are important, and
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 1: in doing so, it gives you a concrete for a
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 1: metaphysical view that the artist has about the world. And
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 1: you might share that view and respond positively, or you
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 1: might reject that view and respond negatively to the art.
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 1: But the art is what makes that possible. It gives
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 1: you a conquetization of an abstraction of some very very
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 1: abstract idea that you have. So if you think about
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 1: if you think about the uh, if you think about heroism, UH,
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 1: you you could try to find heroes in real life,
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: and a lot of times you'll find that they're mixed.
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 1: And yeah, you know, it's really hard to old the
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 1: heroic part of them from the mixed part of them.
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 1: And there's a lot of stuff context going around that
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 1: you don't know and you don't understand, and it's very
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 1: difficult to respond emotionally to real life heroes. You can sometimes,
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 1: but a hero and art, the artist gets to decide
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 1: what story to tell you, what context to create, so
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 1: that your entire focus can be on the hero, on
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 1: the value the hero provides you, so you can be
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 1: You've got a Howard Rock, and you know, you get
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 1: the full Howard Rock story, and you get from mine
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 1: Rand the essentials of his heroism, which is centered around integrity,
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 1: integrity in his life and integrity and his work and
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 1: integrity in his art. And that gives you kind of
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 1: a concrete, you know, a concrete and emotional you know,
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 1: reality or thing that corresponds to Oh, that's what a
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: hero is and I feel it, I get the emotional
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 1: response to it. That's the kind of world that I
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 1: wanted to live in. That kind of heroism exists. So
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 1: we need art because we live very abstract lives, very
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 1: abstract lives, and one of the ways we deal with
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 1: these very abstractions.
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 2: Is by creating art and experiencing art.
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 1: And this is why human beings have been doing it
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 1: since we lived in caves, and they were drawing on
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 1: the caves, and they were telling each other stories, and
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 1: they were maybe singing, and you know, people developed poetry
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 1: thousands of years ago.
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 2: So it's a.
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 1: Real human need. And the more our lives are devoted
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 1: to the abstract, that is, the more civilized we become,
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 1: the more we become people of reason, where our lives
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 1: revolve around the mind, and the activity of the mind
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 1: manifest in action, but the activity of the mind, the
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 1: more art we need. So we need art more today
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 1: than we did in the caves. We need art more
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 1: today than we did a thousand years ago, when life
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 1: is very simple. The more complex, the more intellectual, the
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 1: more abstract the stuff we're dealing with on a day
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 1: to day basis, the more we need art. Hopefully that helps,
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 1: But we do the morantic manifesto. She explains it much
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 1: better there, All right, James, I exist, that is all.
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 1: I find it nauseating, that is gene Paul sat This
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 1: is the crap I was taught in college. Thank you,
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 1: I'm man and YBS show or I may have ended
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 1: up as cynical and miserable as Sata. Yeah, I mean,
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 1: Sata and Camu the existentialist were the thing. When I
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 1: was growing up. That was the philosophy all high school
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 1: kids and college kids were excited about. I exist, that
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 1: is all, and I find it nauseating. That's that's the
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 1: pathetic philosophy of much of my generation, at least when
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 1: they were more idealistic. They grew out of it. But
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 1: they go out of it by becoming cynics, not by
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 1: embracing reason. Eric thirteen. I began noticing endless contradictions in
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 1: my Christian parents that by Christian parents were wasting their
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 1: lives on. I've since stopped talking with them, but now
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 1: my best friend of a decade is becoming indoctrinated suggestions.
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's sad and harpable. The only suggestion I
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 1: have is try to save your best friend.
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 2: Do what you can, challenge him, question him, and try to.
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 1: Get him to read some stuff, some of the imans
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 1: so the new atheist whatever you think will be most
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 1: effective in showing him the contradictions, and accept the fact
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 1: that you might lose him. People have free will, They
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 1: make choices for themselves. They yeah, they go off and
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 1: they do crazy things and do what you can to
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 1: save him and accept the fact that you might not.
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 1: All the advice I have Salry, no magic bullet, Ryan,
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 1: You are in the federal government of the USA is
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 1: killing people on American soil for the supposed crime of
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 1: wanting a better life. Yes, the victims pose no threat
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 1: to the agents, and the desire to flee invites a
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 1: death sentence, and no one cares. Why. Well, because we've
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 1: spent the last at least ten years, maybe longer, demonizing immigrants,
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 1: demonizing the other. It's the same thing, lower velocity, lower
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 1: intensity that the Nazi did with regard to the Jews,
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 1: you know, portray them as rats, portray them as sub human,
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 1: and then when they're killed in mass nobody cares because
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 1: we're just exterminating rats. And that's kind of what we
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 1: done to illegal immigrants. We've dehumanized them. We made them
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 1: the source of all our problems, we made them the
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 1: enemy in a war, and therefore, yeah, shoot them all.
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know people who think that the problem
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 1: with the ICE is they're too gendle. They should be
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 1: much more violent and they should shoot more often and
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 1: kill more often because they hate illegal immigrations so much.
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 1: And that's you know it didn't start with Trump, but
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 1: Trump gave it words Trump and Trump made it respectable
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 1: and elevated it and fed off of it. That is
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 1: why dehumanization and it's all a greater cause for American heritage,
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 1: Author Part one. I've heard critiques of Rand's philosophy as infantile,
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 1: a child or animal only thinks of themselves, whereas a
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 1: humane philosophy promotes us to see things from other people's perspective,
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 1: putting ourselves in someone else's shoes as a sign of maturity.
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 2: How can you be selfish?
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 1: Thoughts? Yeah, I mean, you hear that all the time,
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 1: but they're myscharacterizing what selfishness is. Rightelfishness is not caring
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 1: about other not caring about other people. Selfishness is just
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 1: I am the frame of reference. I am the standard,
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 1: and what is good for man qua man universal man
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 1: is my standard reason, rationality, and then I apply it
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 1: to my life. I apply these universal principles to my life.
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with There's nothing. Uh. Selfishness does not
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 1: mean not putting yourself in other people's shoes. I mean,
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 1: nine man, it was a novelist. She had to put
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 1: himself in other people's shoes, but often when you put
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 1: yourself in other people's shoes, you find them lacking.
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 2: And the question you should.
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 1: Ask is why should I sacrifice? So this comeback. So
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 1: it's just a it's an accusation which makes no argument.
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 1: It assumes that it's implied. It feeds off of altruism.
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 1: It doesn't prove altruism. It doesn't make the case vultureism.
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 1: It just assumes altruism. So it's meaningless. There's nothing much
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 1: to say against it because it's creating a strong man
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 1: and then not really making an argument. Author All the
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 1: people posting publicly how excited they are about Lindsey Graham's death.
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 1: Is this immaturity or nihilism widespread in the culture? Only
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 1: online culture? It's nihilism spread in online culture, not in
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 1: the culture broadly, but online culture.
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 2: And of course you only see certain things. You don't
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 2: see all of online culture.
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 1: You just see the most outrageous stuff that is being
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 1: giving you in the feed.
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 2: It's from the far left and the far right.
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 1: They ate hate and the people they hate to die.
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 2: That's just the way they are.
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 1: So Lindsey Graham's wamonga the fault right things and the
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 1: fall left degrees, and they both think it's good that
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 1: he died. But this is nihilism. Yes, wanting the complete
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 1: destruction of people who disagree with you, complete destruction, that's nihilistic.
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 1: Ryan has a follow up. The Constitution is supposed to
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 1: protect all people, including illegal migrants, and those are the
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 1: work permits. Is anyone discussing the lack of constitutional governance
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 1: in intellectual circles outside of a Y, Yeah, I mean
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 1: I think you see that in place like Instry for
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 1: Justice and Specific Legal Foundation and maybe some others. I
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 1: understand there's a new legal ij like organization that just
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 1: started by objectivists that are going to make arguments that
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 1: are objectivist arguments, which is great. So now there's I
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 1: forget what it's called, maybe the Center for Objectivist Law
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 1: or something like that. Anyway, there is an organization, so
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 1: I think it's so calls that and you see, but
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 1: it's also discussed by I don't know, people in the
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 1: center left and center right are talking about it as
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 1: a violation of the Constitution and constitutional governance. So yeah,
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 1: there are other people talking about it. People are upset
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 1: about it. It's why Ice had to respond by saying, Okay,
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 1: we're going to stop the the ice stopping automobiles cause
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 1: because of all these murdic killing cases. Jennifer says, look
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 1: at all the opposition to data centers going on right now. Yeah,
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 1: Blue states, red States, doesn't matter. Texas is banning data centers, Texas,
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 1: red state. They hate technology, they hate progress, and they
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 1: buy into the lies about technology and progress because they
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 1: hate the technology in progress, so they buy into the lives.
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 1: Michael tuopot question, psychologists often attribute low self esteem to
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 1: clinic to criminal behavior. It's the same true of criminal philosophy.
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know what criminal philosophy is. Content Mark said
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 1: the same low self esteem psychology as a school something.
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 1: They were just much more intelligent and channeled the destructive
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 1: energy into creating philosophies that would destroy the world. I mean,
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 1: I think that's reasonable assumption to say that people who
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 1: developed have developed some of the evil philosophers in history,
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 1: particularly in the modern times, have low self esteem. Certainly
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 1: Marx did. I mean, if you actually read about his life,
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 1: it was a pretty low self esteem life. He was
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 1: a mooch. He mooched off of the capitalists, the parents
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 1: of Engels who are capitalists.
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 2: So I think that's probably right.
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's always true or true of
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 1: all of them, but yeah, I think you have to
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 1: have a deep connection with reality to have a high
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 1: self esteem. And if your philosophy rejects reality, that's a
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 1: hard thing. Let me thank find Happa and NYK and
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 1: Eric for the stickers. I appreciate it all right, Let's
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 1: move to the two dollars and five dollars questions. We
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 1: got a series of five year of questions from Time.
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 1: He says, I loved Long Summer's conservative video opposing capitalism.
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 1: She's so honest about Christian contempt for capitalism. Yes, Lan's
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 1: Summers is a piece of work. She's horrible and her
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 1: opposition to capitalism, and she loves Dugan. She loves Alexander Dugan.
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 1: And yeah, the whole attitude is so anti Western civilization,
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 1: so anti capitalism, so anti individualism and individual rights, and
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 1: Lawrence Summers once in a while will be particularly honest
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 1: about these things.
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 2: So yeah, absolutely, Time.
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 1: You may not like nineteen eighties popular music, but would
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 1: you say it's far better than today's mainstream music. I
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know much of today's mainstream music.
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 1: I don't listen to it, So I don't know it.
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 1: It probably is. Things have gotten worse, probably, but I
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 1: don't know. It wasn't that great and it's not good today.
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 1: But are they good musicians today creating good music? Probably? Probably,
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 1: you just have to find them. And that was true
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 1: in the nineteen eighties. So things have probably gotten worse.
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 1: But I don't follow popular music enough to be able
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 1: to say, Time, says Hunter. Biden's chat with Fuentas will
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 1: not be that interesting, okay, but it's striking how famous
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 1: Nick has become today. Even Charlie Sheen knows who he is. Yeah,
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, for this is huge. We know that very
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 1: very big. I mean he was interviewed by by you know,
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 1: taker Corson, he was interviewed by what's his name, the
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 1: British reporter. So yeah, he's been interviewed by a lot
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 1: of big, big names. They've legitimized him, they've sanctioned him. Uh,
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 1: Jackson Highlander, thank you for the twenty dollars stick. I
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 1: really appreciate that. Now we're only seventeen dollars away from
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 1: that third hour goal. Time Shapiro blast Tucka for preferring feudalism,
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 1: but keeps Noles on the price payroll. I can't stand
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 1: Shapiro's sanctimoniousness. Yeah, I mean he's complete, he's got, he's got,
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 1: he's got Noles, and he's got the other guy. And
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 1: who are medievalists? In so many different ways? So many
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 1: different ways? At least Ben Shapiro has been an occasion
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 1: a champion of SAMI economic freedom, of free markets. These
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 1: guys are just the opposite the medievalists. Shapiro is a
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 1: medievalist only when it comes to social issues. They are consistent,
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 1: all right, Liam, Given how much you fly to spread
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 1: objectives and why has an Aari provided you with a
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 1: private jet? It can also be used as an escape jet,
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 1: the gold sculch. If we're on the verge of collapse.
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 1: Well two reason one there is no gold sculture and
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 1: two it costs a lot of money, a lot of money.
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 1: So the institute is way too small to have its
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 1: own private jet. Maybe one day we had annual income
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 1: of one hundred million or more, I guess a private
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 1: jet might be might be reasonable, But we need a
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 1: ten x or more our annual budget at the institute
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 1: to get to that point. Andrew, there's a powerful line
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 1: in opah to the fact that when radical communist sympathizes
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 1: sympathizers professors witness the misery, poverty, and blood created by
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 1: their ideas, they remain unmoved. They are logic to their
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 1: being nonpulsed. Yes, I mean I think they realize that
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 1: they know, they've always known that communism requires sacrifice, it
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 1: requires a fundamental change in human in human behavior, which
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 1: is going to mean some death and destruction for a while.
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 1: I mean they continue to delude themselves into thinking that
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 1: after a generation of suffering, good things will happen. But
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 1: it's a complete delusion to rationalize the evil because they
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 1: can't actually face it. And they look at the suffering
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 1: and they say, yeah, this is you know what it.
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 1: Lennin said, to make an omelet, you have to break
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 1: some eggs, so people have to suffer so that we
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 1: can achieve are utopia. Nn And if we don't achieve it,
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 1: it's only because the leaders were too corrupt. If they'd
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 1: only been better leaders than we would have achieved the
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 1: success of communism. And they will rationalize that to their
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 1: last breath. Bunnie, thank you for the stick up. Let's
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 1: say James Kennice Owens claims that she has evidence evidence
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham's death was actually a Mosad operation to further
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 1: cover up what really happened to Charlie Cook. Yeah, I
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 1: mean I'm sure she said that. I'm sure she has
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 1: the evidence. I'm sure it's true. I mean, it's just unbelievable.
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 1: It's just unbelievable. Yeah, I mean, Yuah rue Downs is
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 1: suggesting a gofund me campaign for my hypersonic jet. I mean,
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 1: I think I think we could put in an order
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 1: with Blake Shawal's to get me one of the first
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 1: booms and I can use that as a private jet.
• 2:09:15
  Speaker 1: That would be great. So yeah, I'm open to a
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 1: GoFundMe to do that. The moralist, the Founder's contradiction enshrining
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 1: public good about private interest, but also freedom to pursue happiness.
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 1: We resolved it by rejecting altruism the right by rejecting
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 1: freedom and happiness. Yeah, that's that's really good. That's absolutely right. Uh,
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 1: chill fan, Are you going to watch Nolan's Odyssey? Absolutely?
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 1: I mean I wouldn't miss it for anything. It's uh,
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's a you know, it's going
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 1: to be a big a huge film. You know, it's
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 1: an exciting story, it's a good story. I'm curious how
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 1: he's done it. I'm curious how what's his interpretation is Again,
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 1: it's one of these movies I want to watch on
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 1: if I could get to a imax, I would go
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 1: and watch it on an imax, A big movie with
• 2:10:17
  Speaker 1: big scenes, with dramatic with drama. I talked to somebody
• 2:10:22
  Speaker 1: who saw a preview of it already and said it
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 1: was fantastic. I'm sure you know. And I've liked Nolan's
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 1: movies in the past, not all of them, but most
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 1: of them I've really liked.
• 2:10:31
  Speaker 2: He's a good filmmaker.
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 1: He often, like with oppenheima makes a good movie with
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 1: no point to it, no point to it. But this one,
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 1: is he going to make homeless points? Is he going
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 1: to make a twist on homeless points? Is he gonna
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 1: do something completely different? I mean, I mean, I'm interested,
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 1: I'm curious. I want to see it. I see zero
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 1: reason to go, and lots and lots and lots of
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 1: reasons why I want to go. Zeph Once A prediction
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 1: on Argentina England. Yeah, God, you know, I think England's
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 1: gonna win I think Argentina was struggling the last game
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 1: and has struggled. England struggles too, but I think England
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 1: has more weapons. Argentina is still too reliant on Messy,
• 2:11:25
  Speaker 1: but it's very difficult to bet against Messy and against Argentina,
• 2:11:29
  Speaker 1: they find ways to squeak victory out of any situation.
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 1: So I don't I don't know. I'm excited about the game.
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 1: Whoever wins that game, I'm rooting for for the for
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 1: the finals. So if it's England, I'm gonna root for
• 2:11:47
  Speaker 1: England over Spain. If it's Ongentina, I'm rooting for Argentina
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 1: over Spain. So but but you know, either one would
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 1: be would be great real spuck. What exactly is working class?
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 1: Democratic socialists say they want to help the working class?
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 1: Is it people who sweep the floor for minimum wage?
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 1: Do you consider your self working class? It's anybody who
• 2:12:12
  Speaker 1: uses primarily muscle in their work where a significant portion
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 1: of their work involves muscle. So construction workers and sweeping
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 1: floors and assembly line workers. That's working class plumbers and electricians,
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 1: and you know they still have to use their brain,
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 1: of course, but where significant portion of their work is
• 2:12:37
  Speaker 1: physical that's working class. I do not consider myself working
• 2:12:40
  Speaker 1: lass by their definition and by anybody's definition for that manner,
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 1: even though I work, I have no class. That's the problem.
• 2:12:50
  Speaker 1: All right, everybody, thank you. We did great on the
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 1: super chat and the stickers. I really really appreciate it.
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 1: You made it for yesterday and more. I will be
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 1: back tomorrow at the same time, seven o'clock after the
• 2:13:02
  Speaker 1: Argentina England game, and then we will have shows on
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 1: Thursday and Friday, probably closer to the regular time, and
• 2:13:14
  Speaker 1: then we're doing nicos on Saturday, probably at three pm
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 1: East Coast time, and then Sunday I'll probably do a
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 1: show before the finals so early. Oh. We got one
• 2:13:27
  Speaker 1: last question from Adam Tama. Tamaday Lempica paintings were featured
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 1: on the British book covers of Iinran's The Fountain It
• 2:13:38
  Speaker 1: and at La Shrugged. Why is Lippika so little known
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 1: in the US, even though she chose to live here
• 2:13:45
  Speaker 1: for much of her life. I don't know, but the
• 2:13:48
  Speaker 1: reality is that, you know, what do you call it?
• 2:13:54
  Speaker 1: Representational artists a relatively unknown everywhere now, just in the
• 2:13:59
  Speaker 1: United States, there's just not that big of a market.
• 2:14:02
  Speaker 1: For their work, or at least there's a there's a market,
• 2:14:05
  Speaker 1: but there's no recognition of them by the art critics
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 1: who rejected representational art one hundred years ago, particularly in
• 2:14:15
  Speaker 1: the United States, but really all over the world and Europe.
• 2:14:19
  Speaker 1: All right, I will see you all tomorrow, have a
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 1: great rest of your week, and uh yeah, let's hope
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 1: for a good game tomorrow. Bye, everybody,
