Speaker 1 (00:05):
A lot of them funds and an individual loss. This
is the show, all right, Everybody welcome, and you can

(00:26):
tell I do not have my voice back yet. We
will do the best. I will do the best that
I can h being sick, uh, still sick, but hopefully
strong enough to do a show today. We'll see how
long we go. That will depend on how am I feeling,
and of course on how many questions you guys have.

(00:50):
I had COVID, got back in the United States on Friday,
go back to Puerto Rico Saturday. I did an ammy
with you guys. By Saturday evening, I wasn't feeling well.
I told my wife, Yeah, getting sick. Sunday I was out, gone,

(01:10):
got a COVID test, definitely had COVID, and so I
had a pretty bad case of COVID. So throwed, congestion,
as you can hear, fever, cough, weakness, the whole shebang
wipe me out for like Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, really Wednesday, yesterday.

(01:33):
I started feeling better today, I'm feeling better. Tomorrow. I'm
sure I'll feel a little bit better and you know, hopefully,
hopefully we'll keep going. I this is my third time
with COVID. I think twice two three, something like that.
This is the worst by far. And yeah, none of
my COVID cases could I did. I lose my sense

(01:55):
of smell or sense of taste. So when a feman
says double your vitamin D to four thousand, you assume
that I take two thousand vitamin D. I mean, where
does that come from? Like people think they know me?
What the hell I'm on five thousand? I use of

(02:23):
vitamin D. So lack of vitamin D is not the
reason I get COVID. You've done research on me. There's
no research that shows that four thousand and I or
you of vitamin D does. I mean, vitamin D generally
helps the immune system, generally is good for you. I'm

(02:45):
on I take vitamin D and I take more and
I'm sick. But I don't have a causal link between
the two anyway. I don't want to talk about COVID.
We can talk about COVID, but I don't really want
to talk about COVID. If you want to talk about COVID,
then then you know, put it up. But yeah, I

(03:06):
was on five thousand milligrams of I owe you. I
use of vitamin D so it wasn't a lack of
vitamin D that brought about COVID. Yeah, if you want
to ask about COVID, asking the asking, the super chat,
I had some interesting responses from all kinds of people. Well,
on the internet, it's I guess I got COVID because

(03:30):
I was vaccinated. If you're vaccinated, you get COVID. That
that is the story, even though my vaccination is from
twenty twenty one. All Right, a lot has happened, because
really it's been two weeks, right, because the one week

(03:51):
I was in Madrid and didn't really do a didn't
really do a show, and then I've been sick for
a week. So it's been two weeks. Lot has been
going on in the world. We won't be able to
cover all of it, but I thought we'd catch up
on a few of the of the main stories and
it might be a little rush today. It might be
a shorter show today given all this, But yeah, we will.

(04:19):
We will see how it all, how it all goes.
All right, let's see, I like numbersis I assume you'd
never take ivan mectin. I would take Evian mcden if
I had something that I've emcdin actually cured. If I

(04:39):
had a parasite, I would definitely take Avin mcdan. Would
I take avimctin for COVID? No, No, I mean that's
just that's just voodoo. That's just voodoo. So no, I
would not. Let's see, God some strange questions. Okay, let's

(05:09):
see all right, let's start. Yesterday was young people young
peoo is uh kind of the holiest day of the
year for for the Jews. Uh. They they it's a
day of fasting. Uh. It's a day where Jews, both
very religious Jews but also pretty secular Jews, you know,

(05:35):
go to synagogue. It's it's one day where pretty much
everybody goes to synagogue in Israel. It's a day where
there's just no no cause in the streets it's completely empty.
Everybody walks to synagogue. I mean some people drive, but
then they park far away from the synagogue and then
they walk. But they're very very very few cause uh

(05:58):
driving uh in the streets are my dad used to
go to. He was a doctor, so he sometimes had
to work on young Kye pool. He would sometimes get
stone stone at him for driving on young peopole. So
Israel can get pretty pretty nasty about this young pepo
stuff in certain neighborhoods at least anyway, yesterday and in

(06:19):
Great Britain, there at a Jewish congregation in Manchester, Manchester,
about three hundred thousand Jews in the United Kingdom, and
this congregation in Manchester, a a somebody, uh, somebody rammed,

(06:41):
came in with a car, you know, drove into a
bunch of people, came out with a knife, started stabbing
people around him, then headed towards the synagogue and tried
to get in. People on the other side of the
door in the synagogue, you know, closed the door held
him back, prevented him from breaking into the synagogue where

(07:02):
I'm sure he was. He wanted to inflict more damage
and do more harm as he's trying to break into
the synagogue, and the police arrive. Uh and and these
are police in England who have guns. Uh go figure anyway,
the police arrive and they shoot him. They shoot him,

(07:24):
and they shoot at him. As a consequence of them
shooting him, uh s on the bullets go through the
door and and and one person on the other side
of the door is killed, another one is injured. So
the total of this is a number of people are injured. UH,
two people who were killed, one directly by the attacker,

(07:47):
the other by the police and trying to kill the attacker.
So still buy the attacker, but but indirectly. And you know,
and and this is UH, you know, this is a
a major antisemitic attack in the UK. Of course, UH.

(08:12):
The the protesters, the UH pro Palestinian protesters, the Pochamas
protesters more accurately, who are in the streets in England
all the time, UH did not did not agree to
to not go into the streets. Yes, yesterday they they
went into the streets. Actually the protests were bigger and

(08:34):
in more cities then we're planned because people were these
people were very excited by the fact that some Jews
had been killed on onpo Now, of course, U, everybody's
was very afraid to attribute, of course, you know, UH
motive to the killer, even though this is his name.

(08:56):
Just just to realize his name, his name was Jihad
al Shami, right, but the Labor Party will not accuse
Jihad al Shami of an active anti Semitic terrorism of jihadism,
even though his name is jihad. They won't. They won't
attribute to that. We we still don't know, we have

(09:17):
to investigate who knows, uh, and general you know, and
generally the response on the left has been muted, non existent.
The response on the many in the Islamic community in
England has been going out to demonstrate against Israel. The

(09:40):
response of many intellectuals on the left is like, look,
this is Israel's fault these Jews, whether they're Zionists or not,
it's their suffering because of what Israel is doing to
the Palestinians. This is all justified because it's it's just
retribution for what Israel is doing. And this is this

(10:07):
is of course a fascinating because nobody has a real
response to this. Uh. And and you're seeing a lot
of people condemn this as antisemitic and they're killing Jews
for being Jews, but almost saying, look, you don't know,
they might not have been Zionists, they might not have

(10:28):
been supported as of Israel. Wait a minute, let me
let me get this straight. She's just saying if they
were support as a visul, would have been okay to
kill them. Yeah, I'll give you an example. And this
is like, this is from the Spectator, which is a conservative,
right wing pro Israel publication by a guy named Nicole
Cohen Shima Jew, why won't they left call out anti

(10:51):
Semitis of what it is? And he writes this Sassin,
a British citizen a Syrian heritage, showed his appreciation for
this country by ramming his car into the grounds of
the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in my home city
of Manchester and stabbing any Jew who could find. He

(11:14):
had never talked to them, He'd never discovered their views
about Israel in Palestine. It wasn't enough that they were Jews.
This is such a cop out, it's such a sellout.
What if he had talked to them, What if it
turned out that they support Israel, that they think Israel's

(11:37):
in the right, would then Nikkoin said, oh, okay, Well
maybe then then it's okay, or then it's not anti Semitism.
The issue of whether these particularly Jews were pro Israel
anti Israel is complempletely irrelevant. The issue of whether the

(12:02):
killer knew whether they were poor Israel mine to Israel
is completely irrelevant. I mean, what's relevant here is violence
is not a means for dealing with disagreement in the West.
Violence is not a means for dealing with disagreement. In
the West, you don't kill people you disagree with, he

(12:27):
kept going. It was enough that they would Jews, and
any Jew would do so he killed one and left
the other to be hit by a straight police bullet
in the fight that followed. These are racist murders, and
if they're not racist murderers, if they're ideologically motivated murders,
just as the huge upsurge and abuse of Jews since

(12:49):
a Moss massacre of October twenty twenty three represents a
huge upsurge in racial hatred. Now, all that is absolutely true.
It is racial hatred. But that's not relevant, and it's
not even relevant. To just label him an anti Semite.
It's way too easy. It's way too letting him off

(13:10):
the hook too easy, and letting off the whole entire
Islamist world off too easy. Is he an anti Semite
like the Nazis? Is he his anti Semite like I
don't know the leftists in the streets? Is he is

(13:31):
anti Is he his anti Semit like Tucker Carlson and
Candice Own. He's a particular type of anti Samily. He's
a particular type of anti Semite. He's a gee Hottist,
He's an Islamist. He's somebody holds an ideology that says

(13:52):
that the West should be destroyed, and by the way,
Jews an important part of that West. And then in
destroying the West, destroying the Jews is a is a
piece of that. It's how you get to where you
want to go. It's not separate, it's not independent of

(14:18):
his ideology of Islamism, his ideology of Sharia law, imposing
Sharia law on Britain, and by by calling me an anti Semite,
it's just it's just, it's just not good enough. This
person is motivated by an ideology, an ideology. The mini

(14:40):
Muslims in Britain hold an ideology that as a consequence
of many Britains Muslims in Britain holding they are acting
in one way another against the very nature Western civilization,
acting in one way or another against the very nature

(15:00):
of the state of Britain. And they have to be opposed.
It is the ideology of Islamism that has to be opposed.
This anti Semitic spinoff is just one piece of it. Yes,

(15:21):
right now, the Islamists are getting a lot of leverage
from globalized into fada from the river to the sea,
from villain, you know, making Israel into the villain. And
that is because they are being aided and embedded by
the left and by some on the right who despise Israel.

(15:47):
So right now it is in the interests of the
Islamists to align themselves with the anti Semites. But the
threat is much broader than just their anti Semitic views.
The threat comes from the Islamist views. The threat comes

(16:08):
from this support you know, in the past, for Isis
and al Qaida, in the present, for Hamas and Chrismala.
These are not just a coalition of anti Semits. What's
really important here is the real threat to the West
is not from anti Semitism. Anti Semitism is just you know,

(16:35):
a early early symptom of the disease. The real threat here,
the real threat here is Islamism. The real threat here
is people who believe the Western civilization must be destroyed

(16:59):
and replace by an Islamic khalifad and that Sharia law
must be imposed on the West. That is the threat.
They happen to be in disguised as as anti Semich
right now. And this has been the threat for I

(17:28):
don't know. Since nine to eleven, suddenly I've been saying
the threat to Europe. You can find you can find
videos of me saying this in two thousand and two
and panels with Daniel Pipes. The threat in Europe is Islamism.
It's only gotten worse. It's only gotten worse because of appeasement,
because of appeasement and compromise and indeed opening up the

(17:54):
doors the Moi Islamists coming over the embrace of Islamism.
It's only gotten worse because nobody would publish the Danish cartoons.
It's only gotten worse because they've taken off all the
paintings of Muhammad from museums in Europe. It's only gotten
worse because nobody's willing to say the enemy is Islamism.

(18:22):
But it has to be said. And unless you say that,
no other solution is viable. There is no solution unless
you're willing to identify the ideology that is the enemy, Islamism,
that is the ideology. No, I mean, doesn't Trump say that, yes,

(18:49):
And at the same time he provides a security guarantee,
a security guarantee as strong as NATO's Article five to
the One Regime in the Middle East, funding Islamism on
the sunny side at least more than any other regime.
And that's Katak. So Trump is useless when it comes

(19:11):
to this. He doesn't say it, and he supports the
worst elements in it. I mean, Christianity is an enemy,
but Christianity is a separate enemy than what we're talking

(19:31):
about right now. Christianity is positioned, dispositioned to us as
the solution to this problem, and that it is clearly not.
Oh again, and you really are pathetic, sometimes really pathetic
pathetic and says he's trying to flip them. That is
so that's so cringe. It is so mindlessness syndrome. It

(19:56):
is so cringe. And I'm not kidding. I've literally got,
you know, cold flashes, because I mean, it's how can
anybody be that mindless? Like Trump did it? It must
be good, So let's rationalize it, all right, But I'm

(20:18):
not surprised. I mean, it's it's and Scott, it's all
the same thing. It's Islamist. And you know, you can
talk about solutions the Islamic problem in Europe and they're
all kinds of solutions, and but you cannot solve anything

(20:39):
without first identifying the cause of the problem. You can't
solve anything without first saying they are the problem. Islamism
is the problem. Jihadism is the problem, and we will

(21:01):
not tolerate it. It is an enemy and we will
fight it. And until the West gets serious about fighting
Islamism jihadism, nothing will happen. I don't care if it's

(21:22):
for form. I don't get the conservatives, I don't give
it's the left. I don't care who it is. If
they don't name it, they can't fight it. By the way,
I said that right after nine to eleven, you cannot
defeat an enemy you are free to name. You cannot
defeat an enemy that you are afraid to name. So yeah,

(21:51):
then in Great Britain, the right is saying it's anti Semitism.
The left is saying, oh, we don't know. He's just
a confused a person, just one individual. And I'm saying
it's Islamism. And until you recognize it's Islamism, left and right,

(22:14):
nothing's going to change, nothing is going to get better.
By the way, this is a guy that it turns out,
who was accused of rape, was out on bail and
his family just just to be clear his family completely
repudiated what he's done. His family says, we fully distance

(22:37):
ourselves from this attack and express a deep shock and
sorrow over what has happened. That's more than the rest
of the Muslim community has done. The hearts and thoughts
are with the victim and his families, and we pray
that their strength for their strength and comfort. So you know,
it's not clear that the family is an Islamist family,
but he was. He was an Islamist. Why they called

(23:02):
him jihad, Why anybody would call their son jihad is
beyond me, but there you go. Yep. But obviously a
sad day in the UK. It looks like both Manchester

(23:26):
United and Manchester City are going to hold a minute
silence at the beginning of their football game. I guess
when did they play on Sunday? In the commemoration of
the victims? Remember this happened in Manchester. So yeah, I mean,
at some point we'll talk more about this in a

(23:48):
future show. At some point you were passed to come
to terms with who it is that is responsible for
the violence in the streets. It's not random, it's not
just Muslims, it's not just a third world culture. It's
none of those things. It's a particularly ideology. It's a

(24:08):
particular set of beliefs. It's and that set of beliefs,
and that ideology really that needs to be shut down,
and for that you need to declare it the enemy.
By the way, just for the record, I've been saying

(24:28):
that for twenty four years. You can find video of
me saying it basically twenty four years ago. So I
haven't said it. You know, maybe it's often recently, just
because I said it's so often in the first ten

(24:50):
years that I got sick of saying it. But it's
you have to deal with root causes, and you have
to be willing to identify root causes, and you have
to have the courage to stand up to the villains
and to recognize that it's ideology. It's religion. Yeah, it's Islam.

(25:13):
It's related to Islam. It's not separate form Islam. Islam
is not a religion of peace, as George Bush would
have us believe. It's religion. Religion is an enemy. What
happened here? Sorry, something happening here? Let me just fix this.

(25:49):
Do you guys lose connection for a second. I don't
know whether the chat disappeared from you. Uh, let's see, right, Yes,
I wrote a book on the topic, Yes I did,
but I can't remember what we talk about there about Europe.

(26:12):
But I've spoken many, many times about the situation in
Europe and what needs to be done. Again, you can
find video, all right, let's see. And of course this
all brings us to the Gaza peace plan, So, as
you probably know, it's everywhere. Trump basically puts together a

(26:36):
peace plan for Gaza that involves Hamas releasing all the
hostages dead and alive, basically disarming and supposedly playing no
role in the future of Gaza. Gaza being taken over
by some kind of international entity aboard run by him

(26:57):
by Trump. Ultimately uh, it turned over to a reformed
and restructured Palestinian authority. While this is happening, forts to
Israel retreats from the gods the Strip and international force
comes in to fill in the security gap. That security

(27:19):
That international force is made up of Arab Arab countries. Uh.
And and this was a proposed peace deal I brought
it in front of people. Is such idiots? I sorry,

(27:46):
I read the chat. I shouldn't. Wyat's his back with
his Uh. Uh, you know, inability to think. Uh. So Uh.
The idea is Israel with draws uh to pre basically
prey October seventh, Uh to prey October eighth border. And

(28:11):
I guess the Arab world, together with the United States
and maybe Europe and maybe the countries, rebuild Gaza into whatever. Uh.
Nathaniel was brought to the White House. Uh in order
to agree to this plan. As part of that meeting,
Ntenell was was he was demanded of Nataennell to call

(28:32):
the Prime Minister of Katau apologize for Israel's attack on
Hamas in Katau. And which he did. Yeah, he had
a script and and he and he and he read
the script and he called the Prime Minister of Katau.
He committed to never attacking Katau again. Uh, never attacking

(28:55):
Hamas in Katau. He expressed condolences to I guess or
regret for the fact that one Katari citizen was killed
in the attack. I mean just a pathetic, just a
pathetic display, but part of the course, I guess. And Natano,
in spite of having a great reservations about this plan,

(29:16):
and in spite of the fact that his coalition partners
in Israel have significant reservations about this plan. Basically agreed
to the plan. Hamas has been dragging their feet a
week without giving a response, but supposedly based on the press,
based on the news and reading right now, they are
over the last hour or so the last couple of

(29:37):
hours have responded to the plan positively in a sense
that they're willing to release all the hostages. They want
some clarifications, they claim, and they want to renegotiate certain
parts of it, primarily about giving up their weapons and
about their involvement in the future of Gaza. It's gonna

(30:00):
be really, really, really interesting to see, uh, whether the
United States and Israel are willing to negotiate with Ramas
about these points, whether this agreement is still open for negotiations,
or whether it's a done deal. And I think we
will know within the next few days whether this is
a done deal. Ramas is very good. They're very good
at dragging these things out of giving people enough hope

(30:23):
that they are they're going for it to uh keep
it being dragged out. I also think that what's going
on is that within Haramas is significant disagreements about the agreement,
but they're gonna They're gonna play the game, and we'll
see if the United States and AS will let them

(30:45):
play the game. I guess is that the answer is yes. Uh.
Trump wants to steal done. Uh. And so they will delay, delay,
delay as much as they can. How much they can
delay is hard to tell. I mean, the good news
is that probably the consequence of this will be the
release of the hostages. That is good news. You'll probably

(31:06):
see both the live and the bodies of the dead
hostages released within a couple of weeks, assuming that Ramas
will ultimately negotiate something that allows them to say, Okay,
that's fine. So that is that is kind of the

(31:35):
state of play. As part of all this, Trump also
gave the Kataris a security guarantee with no conditions attached
to it. No conditions about the Qatarish changing their minds,
no conditions about the Qataris stopping the front terrorism, no
conditions about the Qataris shutting down Alga zero, maybe shifting
l Jazeer to be a little bit more moderate. No

(31:59):
conditions about the Katawi's abandoning the Muslim brotherhood. None, no
conditions at all. Donald Trump gave them a security guarantee
basically implying that if Israel attacks Katao again, the United
States as at war with Israel, which is the implication
of the security guarantee. It is anybody who text Itali

(32:20):
is an enemy of the United States, the United States
is guaranteed to come and protect them. Really pretty astounding
move for the President of the United States. But you
know that's what we have as part of this deal.
You got a number of Muslim and Arab countries signing

(32:45):
on in agreement with the Piece deal, including countries like Toki, Egypt,
Saudi Arabia. But even as far as I think Indonesia
and Malaysia and Pakistan, Pakistan is playing a big role here.
Pakistan of course now has security guarantee with Saudi Arabia,
and Trump is very friendly with the Pakistanis. Go figure

(33:06):
Trump and the Pakistanis. Yeah, hard to tell, but I'm sure.
I'm sure there's a Ford d Chess reason for it.
There's a forty chess reason for Trump being friendly with
the Pakistanis, don't I mean, just ask An if you're
not sure what it is, she'll explain it to you.
But I mean, as you know, I think any Piece

(33:30):
deal with Hamas is abomination, even this one, which is
not bad. This is about as good as it gets.
But the idea that that you negotiate with Hamas, the
idea that you, you know, you recognize the legitimacy by

(33:53):
negotiating with them, I think is absurd. I think again,
I mean the idea of security Guaranteed Katau, which is
a major funder of terrorism around the world and a
major funder of Islamism around the world. They are the fund,
they are the fund and support home of protector of
the Muslim Brotherhood, which is the fountain head of all

(34:13):
these Islamist groups. That is a travesty and a betrayal.
So I think long term, I think the peace deal,
this peace deal is is no good. It hurts Israel,
it h's the West, it hurts the United States. It
makes it very difficult to fight the broader battle against

(34:35):
uh Islamism and jihadism when you're you know, making best
friends with the people who support jihadism and Islamism. It
also it also suggests that a Palestinian state is in
the future. It doesn't completely, it doesn't. Basically, uh, there's
no there's no provision for justice towards those of on

(34:58):
Kamas who are still alive, who are responsible for October seventh,
there's no provision there for them being tried. Indeed, as
part of this, Israel is supposed to release one hundred
and fifty murderers, one hundred and fifty terrorist murderers, and
thousands of detainees that they've arrested. So there's no there's

(35:18):
no justice in this, there's no thought about justice. This
is very much what these really public wants, in a
sense that all these really public seems to care about
these days is the release of the hostages. And I
think this just gets them that if it goes through.

(35:40):
And look, Hamas is very weak right now, so it
takes advantage of that, and it gets them at their
weak points. And maybe there's a chance that there's so
weak that they will never recover, but I wouldn't bet
on that, and I wouldn't better on the fact. I
wouldn't better on the fact that the Kataris will fund
them into recovery, and not just the Katari's but others.

(36:03):
So I'm not happy with bees Steele. As I told
you a long long time ago, the way to solve
the problem in Gaza is the complete and another destruction of Hamas,
and that needed to be done militarily. It needed to
be done aggressively, and need to be done eighteen months ago,

(36:24):
not today. It's a late and not after negotiating round
after round after round after round after round of ceasefires
with him. They should have been taken out right at
the beginning. But it is what it is. The appeasement

(36:47):
of Islamism, just like in England, in the Middle East continues.
It didn't start yesterday, it didn't start with Trump. It's
been going on forever. Israel is the large extent responsible.
The United States is responsible. I warned against this in
nine to eleven and after Oslo, and over and over

(37:10):
and over again. It's a never ending, never ending conflict.
I mean, there is some hope that the demand for
Palestinian and authority reform will be real this time. We'll see,
but a lot of this is about execution and will
it be executed, And allow me to be skeptical. I

(37:32):
am still one who believes that the only solution is
Israel occupying Gaza, ripping out every last vestige of Ramas
and destroying it. I would rearrest every single one of
the people Israel released in the hostage exchanges. Now put

(37:54):
them back in jail, and I would occupy the guards
of Strip and if they if people want to rebuild it,
then find let the money come in to rebuild it.
Unday is really supervision and Day's reeli supervision so that
tunnels and bombs and missile launchers are not facilitated by it. Okay,

(38:22):
So we will keep track of this piece stale. It's
not the last time we'll talk about it, but it does.
I mean, the headline in n PR right now is
Hamas agrees to parts of peace steal after Trump gets deadline,
and the BBC says Haramas says it agrees to release
Israeli hostages, but seeks changes the US guards a peace plan.

(38:42):
It's exactly what Trump's response to that is going to be.
We will we will see, all right. I want to
cover two other quick stories, uh, and then I'll go
to your questions and then I'll probably ask you to to, uh,
you know, make the show a short show. Were not

(39:03):
to overtax my voice as you again earlier in the
in the week, UH, Secretary of heg Seth invited all
generals uh to to a meeting. UH. This is unprecedented.

(39:24):
I don't think it's ever happened before. Uh. And they
all came in and uh, they all sat in a
big lecture room and uh heg Seth and then uh
President Trump got up and uh and gave them a talk.
And gave them a talk. It was fascinating to watch.

(39:45):
Right first, the general sat in silence. There was no cheering, clapping, nothing,
not the beginning of the talk, not the middle. On
the end, I think it completely shook Trump. He's not
used to this. They just sat there, stone faced and
did not respond to what he said. And I think

(40:08):
he felt really, really weird about that. Anyway, Heck, Seth
went out and gave this passionate speech, parts of which
I agree with doing away with stupid rules of engagement.
But it was all done in this condescending You know,
Fox Newsy, I know better than you this is the

(40:30):
way we should fight wars in the future kind of way.
Probably not the best way to change attitudes among generals
in your military. If you really want to change rules
of engagement, you've got to change what's being taught at
West Point. You've got to change how these generals think
about war. There was no grand theory delivered here. There

(40:52):
was no perspective on, well, what is going to replace
the rules of engagement? There was no engagement with the
ideas of just war theory and what should replace just
war theory, and and and how I should conduct on
self in a war? You know. So I agree with
the sentiment, but not worth not with a way except delimited,

(41:21):
and not with he means by it. Part of it.
Part of it is that does he mean by it
that we should the United States military should act like
the Russian military great pillage weight goes And that's hopefully
not what he means. But he didn't say what he means.

(41:44):
He left it as an empty nothing, so it landed
up being meaningless and stupid. In the generals in the
room knew that and know that what's alternative? Layout? Layout?
A layout something and now should be something that should
have been prepared in writing in advance, should be handed out,

(42:06):
should have been presented. Hexath then called out the military
for lack of physical preparedness. And this is something again
I agree with. He said that fat generals and fat
soldiers were an embarrassment. I agree with that. I would

(42:29):
add fat and I said this during BLM fat policeman.
The police need to be We need to get the
police up to up to you know, uh uh physical standards.
But yeah, the military should be in shape. He also

(42:49):
eliminated kind of the agender bias in physical physical training,
which I agree with. That is, it should be a
male base standard. If a woman can make that, if
going can achieve that level a fitness, great, but it
should be whatever combat demands in terms of fitness. So

(43:15):
again I agreed with the sentiment, but he said it
and again an insulting, stupid kind of way to a
bunch of generals. There, he really is a he's a again,
he's a he's a Fox commentator. And and these are
people who are lifetime in the military. There's probably a

(43:36):
much much better way to make the case for both
of those things, uh and and for for everything he
he wanted to address there, uh and and the basic
things that that actually seemed like, uh they made sense
uh other than this way, right, other than this way.

(44:01):
So that was ex seth. You know, a lot of
what he said, I agreed with him, like the way
he said it then, like I didn't think it was
the appropriate means and appropriate place to express these ideas
and to lecture to a bunch of generals about them.
Then came up Trump, and Trump, of course is I

(44:22):
think he's losing it. I don't think he's cognitively completely there.
He rambled for an hour, He rambled for an now,
all over the place, a lot of it incoherent. But
by the way, part of part of, you know, part
of his meeting with Natanielle was just embarrassing. I mean,
he went on and on and on about how this

(44:43):
conflict is a conflict of not just decades of centuries, really,
and he said, really, five thousand years, thousands of year,
thousands of years this has been going on. He really
doesn't know what he's talking about. And I don't think
he knows he doesn't know what he's talking about. He
doesn't know enough to know how stupid what he says is.

(45:04):
And everybody is so used to his stupidity or to
their ignorance that he expresses, then nobody even calls him
out on it. Like if any other president said something
like that this conflict is hundreds of years and thousands
of years, people would have said, no, that's ridiculous, there's

(45:25):
no conflict. I mean, Israel didn't exist hundreds of years ago,
Palestinians Arabs. I mean, none of this existed biblical land.
You know, this is very different. This isn't the same conflict.
Conflicts back then were Romans and Greeks and all kinds
of stuff. But nobody calls him on these things because

(45:48):
he does it all the time. He says so many
wrong things, permit it that you can't correct them all.
So people don't bother anymore. So let's not focus on
all the bs that he said during this talk. We'll
focus on what he said. There was a coherence and

(46:09):
what is scary because what he basically told the generals was,
I want you to start focusing on this new strategy
that we have, and the new strategy that we have
is America first, and that means we need you in
the military to refute focus your efforts on defending the

(46:33):
United States, not from enemies from outside but from the
but from the enemies within. The war that is being
waged is a war from within. He's telling the US military,
I'm going to be using you to go after domestic enemies.

(47:00):
You know, and again this is always vague and ambiguousness
to what he means, but you can see what he means.
You can see it. You can see it in cities
all over the United States today, with ice and National
Guard troops all over the place. You can see it
with black Hawk helicopters being used to attack. So, you know,
supposedly illegal immigrants with maybe some of your citizens get

(47:23):
caught up in the in the crossairs. Who cares. I mean,
it's all for the good cause of deporting immigrants. If
a few American citizens lose their rights, why are we
getting so excited about it? What he really means is
the militarization of American streets. What he really means is
they're bringing in the American military onto American streets to

(47:44):
fight and invisible enemy, an enemy that doesn't have tanks
and doesn't It's not it's not a huge acceleration of
violence in American streets. Quite opposite. The violence is that
is it relatively lows right now, you know, decades long lows.

(48:07):
Is this to go after the enemy that is the
Democratic Party, the enemy that is the left, the enemy
that might steal the next election. So maybe we need
troops after outside polling places to make sure they vote,
people vote the right way. What is this This is
the kind of the kind of stuff that authoritarians do.

(48:30):
They use the military for their domestic disputes. They used
the militaries to settle domestic rivalries. And he's not explicit
about And the general sat there and it's hard to
tell what they thought. A couple of them have already
resigned since that meeting. Good for them. I wish they'd

(48:54):
all in mass resigned. That would have been much more effective.
But you know, he said, I told Pete Hexath, we
should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds
or a military National Guard training ground for what? What
are we training them for? Training four other American cities?

(49:19):
So you know we've now Trump has now ordered federal
troops to Portland, Oregon. I mean, it might have made
sense to send federal troops to Portland, Oregon in twenty
twenty twenty when when Antifa was burning down the place.
But it's actually quite quiet now in Portland, Oregon. There's
not a lot of violence in Portland, Oregon. It's gone

(49:41):
back to being a fairly peaceful place. But now you're
sending federal troops to do what well to create conflict,
and that's indeed what they're doing creating conflict. If they
weren't demonstrations before in Portland, Oregon, they show on now

(50:02):
his troops being there is going to guarantee that. So
just a scary performance. You know. Trump is just pushing
the boundaries and pushing the boundaries and pushing the boundaries,
and he wants to see where he gets pushed back.

(50:23):
And he's not getting pushed back. He's not getting real
pushback anyway. I mean, they got pushed back. I think
they got pushed back from the Jimmy Jimmy Kimo situation, right,
the FCC chairman who really got pushed back from a
lot of people on the right. A lot of commentators
on the right went after the Trump administration and the

(50:44):
FCC for the comments they made about Kimo. So when
Kimo came back, well, Trump wasn't happy about it. The
FCC kind of backed off and said, oh no, no, we
were kidding. And that's the pushback they got. But here
they're not getting pushed back from anybody. They're not getting

(51:04):
pushed back from anybody the left, the mainstream media, which
is they consider part of the left. So but the
right is not rising up against them. Congress is not
rising up against them. He can deploy troops to any
city if he wants in the United States, and the

(51:26):
right will go along with it. His fans will go
along with it, Congress will go along with it. So
he'll keep doing it. He'll keep doing it by one area.
One additional area where he's pushing is this idea of
you know, we're at war in the South Caribbean with

(51:49):
drug smugglers. They before today they have blown up three boats,
killing I don't know, almost twenty people. Today they blow
up an the boat killing four people. Uh no, due process,
no evidence. They're what I mean, let's say they're drug smugglers.

(52:19):
What do we usually do with drug smugglers or send
them to jail. We don't execute them on the spot.
Now we're executing people in the High Seas for being
suspected drug smugglers, and nobody seems to think that's a problem.
We just shoot them out of the sky. You know,

(52:39):
we've declared them uh. He called it a He said
he declared it a non international armed conflict that is
not with another country with the drug cantails. There's an
armed conflict with the drug cantails. I mean, just bizarre.

(53:01):
He's let Congress know that we're engaged in such a
non conflict. Congress, of course, because control by Republicans won't
do anything about it. They've declared the do Cartel's knocko terrorists,
and therefore this is part of I guess the war
on terrorism, as part of the danger of ever calling
a war a war on terrorism. And they just blow

(53:25):
up boats coming out of Venezuela and kill people at will.
And this is exactly, this is exactly what is stastic.
What are the limits? Who can I kill? What can

(53:47):
I destroy? How can I use the military? How far
can I go? All indications are that they intend to
go after them a dual government and depose it. I'm
not necessarily against that if they can do it without
placing American soldiers at risk. But this is the I

(54:11):
thought this was an anti war President. Puerto Rico has
thirty five aircrafts now we have eight US warships in
the region. There are marines and sailors and at least
one nuclear powered submarine. There are significant troop movements here

(54:34):
in Puerto Rico around the military basis that we for
years closed, and there is lots of indications that Maduro
is the target. Has there been a declaration of war
by Congress? No, as Trump asked for one. No. Again,

(54:58):
let's just push see what we can get away with.
We're not going to ask for permission. We're gonna do
what I want to do. I eat what Trump wants
to do, and then we'll we'll figure it out as
we go along. So yeah, keep We'll keep an eye
out on what is going on in the Caribbean and

(55:21):
here in Puerto Rico. We'll keep an eye out on
developments vis A vis Venezuela, UH and the war on drugs. Again,
very few of the drugs that arrive in the United
States come through the Caribbean. Most of them come through
the Pacific or just a Mexican border. It doesn't matter

(55:45):
to Trump, that's not the point. All right, let's call
that the news for October third. This Friday, I'll just
set you know, I'm gonna try to do a show
tomorrow Sunday again, depending on where they have a voice
after today's show, and depending on how I feel tomorrow

(56:05):
and Sunday. But I'm going to try to do as
many shows as I can to kind of make up
for the fact that we haven't done many shows over
the last two weeks, so we'll try to do a
bunch of shows going forward. We've got a lot of questions.
I'm going to try to cover them all. We'll see
how successful I am. But all right, lots of questions.

(56:36):
Let's see it is all right, all right, I'm gonna
now remind you of the sponsors are today just to
save my voice. We'll do that tomorrow and you can
check out the sponsors in below, check their websites out.
Let's just jump into the questions, all right, Michael. It's

(57:00):
interesting why some personalities are able to garner cult like
following in others can't. If it like being eliminated, I
don't think Goobols could have sustained it. The people wouldn't
have followed them, saying with Trump without him, maggot disintegrates. Yes,
there's no question. Uh. Most of these kind of movements
are very much called personalities. I don't think I don't

(57:23):
think communism really takes roots in Russia without Lenin and uh,
and I'm not sure. And yeah, you need a hitler,
you need somebody who has that charisma call it and uh,
I think that's true all over the place. The Chavez
in Venezuela. It required our mounts, a town in in China,

(57:48):
and it very much became a cult personality. It was
about Mao and uh, you know, it was Mao's read book.
It was Mao everything. It was Mao's by you know,
everybody could recite from our read book. You know, these
movements are always very much oriented towards an individual, a person,
somebody to lead them. And and and this makes sense

(58:10):
because they're all basically a reversion backward, reversion to to tribalism.
And the tribe needs a leader, The tribe needs somebody
to follow. The tribe doesn't know what to do. The

(58:34):
tribe has no identity without a leader, without a a Attila,
the han a ginghis hahn uh, somebody, a leader, somebody
who tells them this is what you should do, this
is what you should sacrifice for. They're all ready to sacrifice,
but they don't know what for. And it is the
leader who gives them direction, who gives them meaning, who

(58:56):
gives them purpose. It's very hard to have authoritarianism. It's
really impossible to have a theoitarianism without a kind of
a worship of the leader. Otherwise, who are they? Who
are they supposed to die for right. Soviet Union is
very different. When Stalin is gone and the fearless leader

(59:20):
is gone, Communism in China can't survive once Mao is
gone beyond a couple of years. He dies in seventy
six or seventy eight. For seventy eight, it starts completely
falling apart. Yeah, I don't know if any authoritarian movement

(59:41):
that does not be you know, reentered around a powerful, significant, charismatic,
certain personality leader who is the one who channels the
truth to the tribe and tells them how, where, when,
for what they are being sacrificed. So absolutely, yeah, absolutely right.

(01:00:16):
And you know it's a it's a it's authoritarian leader,
absolutist leader, a leader that can do no wrong, clearly
a personality or what do you call it, worship of
a personality. You don't get that in free countries. The president,
the leader never becomes the point. He never becomes the point,

(01:00:44):
and to the extent where you know there's fear of
him becoming the point. That's when you know freedom is
in trouble. So when it's all about FDR, well, we're
in trouble. When it's all about Trump well, we're in trouble.
It's all about Obama. We're in trouble. It's when the

(01:01:05):
leader becomes this focal point of worship that you know
freedom is in trouble. But in George Washington, when he
sensed that that's what it looked like, was quick to
walk away because he didn't want that, because he understood

(01:01:27):
that if you're too strong a personality, you can become that.
But authoritarian regimes, it's exactly what they want, and they
cultivate that. They cultivate the culture personality. Freedom doesn't cultivate
culture personalities. You can have leaders who are not culture personalities. Happer,

(01:01:50):
Hopper Campbell Part one. Trump and Mamdani share a fundness
for strong arming private companies that raise prices. Donnie wants
to freeze rents. Trump wants to freeze drug prices. I
don't think. I don't think Trump is a socialist in
a sense. He genuinely likes business and has no problem

(01:02:13):
with profits. Yet he has this in common with socialists.
He thinks the country runs better when he tells companies
and they show old us what to do. Yes, I mean,
I don't think Trump's a socialist, and that would require
him to have an ideology, and he doesn't. But Trump
very much shares the idea that he can manage stuff,

(01:02:38):
and he has no qualms about the government running things.
We now have And I didn't make this a news item,
but I will talk about it tomorrow. Trump RX Basically,
we've now established a government run drug store, like Donnie
wants to do a government run grocery store, or Trump
has just a dune him. By creating a federal at

(01:02:59):
the federal level, a government run drug store, American people
will be able to buy drugs cheaply from the government.
How's that not socialism. It's just as bad as what
Mum Danny wants to do. Well, unless you believe that
Trump is a four D thinker and therefore has some

(01:03:21):
pro capitalist motivation at the end of the day, which
I'm sure and does. But no, I mean, he's just
a He's just an opportunist, a powerluster who will just
take anything he can, and he has no ideology. He
doesn't care. He doesn't care if the government runs things.
It doesn't run things. The government is taking on more

(01:03:43):
and more and more positions in private companies. It took
on another position in another a rare Earth company in
the United States. It's going to take a position in Intel.
It's not running a drug company. There is intention within
the Trump administration to get more involved with private companies,

(01:04:05):
not less involved with private companies. So there is more
and more and more you know what anybody else, if
anybody else was doing more and more socialism in this administration,
then any other administration I know of. No other administration
I know of has done more to control American industry

(01:04:29):
and to basically, uh take equity positions in American industries
in this administration. In that sense, it's the most socialist
administration we've ever had. If a Democrat were doing the
things that Trump was doing, Republicans would be horrified. I mean,
this negotiated deal with is deal with TikTok. I mean

(01:04:51):
all of it is government meddling in the private markets.
And it's exactly what we accuse socialists of doing, what
we accused democrats are doing, And this is exactly what
Trump is doing. Not your average algorithm. You said in
your Q and A that we get faked out, like

(01:05:14):
when it comes to the Tea Party, that all political
movements are fundamentally collectivistic, Whether Reagan and Thatcher phenomena fake
outs as well or legitimate steps in the right direction. Well,
clearly Reagan was a fake out on a massive scale
and at an incredibly damaging scale. So Reagan was a

(01:05:40):
complete fake out. He he he talked to talk that
very little action was taken. Goument deficits exploded, go and
spending exploded under Ronald Reagan, not just on defense, govern
spending more broadly exploded. We didn't at shrinking in the

(01:06:01):
welfare state. You got some shrinkage in regulatory state. Again,
most of that was Jimmy Carter. Some under Reagan, but
most of it was Jimmy Carter. And you know, he
talked a big talk about I don't know, let's see,
he's Ballah and Iran and did nothing when the Marines

(01:06:25):
barracks were blown up. So, no, Reagan was a total
was a total fake out. And what did he actually
do or was this lasting legacy? It was lasting legacy.
His lasting legacy was bringing in the religious right into
the Republican Party. His lasting legacy was the Republican Party
of today, MAGA, the mystics takeover of the Republican Party.

(01:06:52):
That's Reagan's lasting legacy. So was he a fake out. Yeah,
I don't think Thatcher was. Really she didn't live up
to but she did more than I think could be
expected given the state of British political thinking and the

(01:07:13):
state of her political party and her popularity. So she
was limited, but she didn't do that much and as
a consequence, it was very easy to reverse what she
had done ultimately, and again, look good where the UK
is today. It's a complete, or not a unequivocal basket case.

(01:07:34):
And it's a basket cake because of the Conservative Party.
The Conservative Party has led Britain most of the last
fifteen years. It's led it into this situation. So in
many respects, suddenly regular was a fake out. Maybe Thatcher

(01:07:55):
was not. But she couldn't go where she needed to
go because the country wasn't ready for her, and she
left in a whimpa because of that, and to this
day Brits don't like her. She's so unappreciated. It's shocking,
it's shocking. So yeah, I mean, in the world in

(01:08:17):
which we live, all these political movements are fundamentally collectivistic
and as such we need to be very wary of them.
Not you have a jolgorithm, Oh, Michael thank you for
the hundred dollars and hop up Campbell and not you

(01:08:37):
have a jolgorithm. Thank you for the fifty dollars questions.
Those are great. There's another, not you have a jogorithm question.
Rand was the philosophy? What Newton wants to physics? People
who recognize will recognize us one day, and thankfully you
don't need to be a brilliant physicist to get it.
If everyone could see Newton was right, why can't they

(01:08:58):
see rand is right? Well? Because to see randers right,
you have to be willing to acknowledge that everything else
is wrong. You have to be willing to give up
your religion. You have to be willing to give up
your altruism. You have to be willing to give up
your nationalism. You have to be willing to give up

(01:09:21):
your ideology. And particularly when it comes to ethics, to
morality and to pistemology, metaphysics, to religion, it's very, very
very difficult for people to give up their belief system.

(01:09:41):
It's almost impossible, and it's rare to see people giving
up altruism and being willing to even consider something an alternative,
so they can't see she's right, because they're held back
by their existing ideologies. People didn't have strong beliefs about

(01:10:02):
the scientific nature of reality before Newton, so once they
saw it, they saw it and they didn't have to
dump a bunch of stuff in order to really see it.
They didn't have to. I mean, they had to put
religion to its place. But Newton was religious, so they

(01:10:23):
could have their cake and need it too. With the rand,
you can't you can't have you ca can need it too, Michael.
If you look at the architecture in Europe versus Asia

(01:10:44):
or Dubai, all Europe does is preserved their past. European
infrastructure is old and stagnant, whereas Asian buildings are modern
and futuristic, dynamic. Yes, absolutely, but part of that is
because they didn't have much worth preserving. A lot of
what they had was flimsy and and a lot of

(01:11:05):
it a being destroyed by war and or poverty. You know,
in China, there wasn't anything in Beijing and Shanghai to preserve.
There's a little bit and you can see it in Shanghai.
Got to forget the name of the buns. It's called
the buns Bund. The Bund which is the German section

(01:11:26):
of Shanghai, which is European looking, nineteenth centsy European looking,
and it was built by the Germans when Shanghai was
divided between the powers. But beyond that, Chinese cities were poor,
dinky little buildings of nothing of substance except very ancient
architecture and that they've kept of palaces and stuff like that.

(01:11:48):
And then they built fresh. But also Asia with all
its problems, and it's got big problems, China with all
its problems, and it's got big problems. These ambitious cultures,
they are ambitious. They want to be successful, they want
to be rich, they want to be the best. In

(01:12:11):
that sense, they remind me of America of the nineteenth century.
They are forward thinking, they are pro progress, they're pro growth,
even as they're anti individual, anti things that will lead
to that. But anyway, they're unbelievably ambitious and that is
reflected in the architecture. And Europe's not ambitious anymore. And

(01:12:34):
Europe is the past. So you go to Europe to
study history to see the history, comes to America maybe
to see the present, and you go to Asia to
see the future. Now whether that future will realize itself.
It's hard to tell because they don't understand the ideas
that make progress possible. But they want to, they would

(01:12:59):
like to. Michael, I was looking into the Florida bill
that aims to eliminate property taxes, and it's only on
your primary residence. If you're own a second home, you
still have to pay the tax. And commercial property isn't
exempt either. Oh that's too bad. Still not a bad deal,

(01:13:22):
but it's too bad that it's not more comprehensive. And
of course if they could exclude a commercial property, that
would be huge because that would to provide a huge
incentive for businesses to move there. But yes, that that
is too bad. Michael says, do you think Christianity is

(01:13:45):
more of an intellectual and spiritual threat that he's Slam.
Christianity has deep roots in undermining our institutions, whereas Islam
has always been about Barrick outsider. I mean, yeah, you
could view it that way. I mean, Islam is a threat.
It's just not the threat that is going to succeed
long term. It's an exit. It's a threat day to day.

(01:14:09):
It's it's gonna kill people. And the more people Islam kills,
the more it will legitimize the Christians, a Christian revival,
the more it will legitimize those who want to wipe
out the Muslims. But I've never in my life said
Muslim Islam is not a threat. Of course, it's a threat.

(01:14:32):
It's the threat of the barbarians. But Rome didn't fall
because of the barbarians. Rome fell because of the internal rot.
The West is not gonna fall because of Islam. If
the West falls, it's because of internal rot. And that
internal rot is a combination of the Left and Christianity.

(01:14:56):
And in my view, the Christians won't let it fall.
They will rise up against the Barbarians and Russia. The
difference in power between the West and the Muslims is
so large, much larger than between Rome and Barbarians, that
they will stomp out the the Barbarians in this case,

(01:15:21):
and then they will dominate, and that will be that
will be huge. They will undermine the institutions of enlightenment,
they will undermine the institution of liberty. That is what
they've always done. That's the nature of Christianity. By the way,

(01:15:42):
the Barbarians who sacked Rome were Christians, so it was
an internal Christian conflict and yeah, you know, Rome, particularly
at that point, was completely rotted. At that point, I
mean completely, it had had four hundred years of empire.

(01:16:03):
An empire by its very nature is a you know, rotting.
It would watch you from within. And of course they
also had one hundred and fifty years of Christianity since Augustin,
since Constantine had made Christianity part of the Roman religion,

(01:16:26):
and then it became Justinian, I think, made it the
official religion of Rome. It was now a Rome was Christian,
and there were other Christians who were stronger, more powerful.
They threw them up, all right, Andrew, how do conservatives

(01:16:49):
preserve any self suspect being lemmings for Trump? Do you
think to the extent their self respect remains, it's because
they think the total support Trump is a life defending
stand against the left. Well, I mean, I don't know
who you're talking about. Who are these conservatives? They ever

(01:17:11):
had any self respect? Do they have self respect? I
don't think they have any self respect. They just don't.
They mindless, you know, and you know, spineless, mindless and spineless.
So I don't know who they are. Senators, congressmen, who

(01:17:32):
these are politicians who have always been mindless and spineless.
Are we talking about intellectuals? Well, I mean other than
intellectuals who have been never Trump has maintained some of
their self respect. The others did they ever have self respect?
So yeah, I mean they can rationalize it as we're

(01:17:53):
standing up against the left and this is what can
we do. This is the best that we have. But
that's not going to give you self respect. So no,
they have no self respect. That's the answer. They cannot
preserve their self respect, but they can live with that.
Can live with that well, but they can live with it.

(01:18:16):
All right. We have a bunch of five ten two
five ten dollar questions Raymond. First part, I've been quite
depressed and anxious with the thought of dying. Given happiness
is tied to achieving pro life things. Isn't mortality proof
that we ultimately fail? It just feels like anything other

(01:18:39):
than working on this problem is partying on the Titanic.
That's a weird way of thinking about life. Life has
a beginning and an end, and it's what you make
of it in between. As a beginning and end. Now,
it would be nice if that beginning to end was
extended to an addically. That would be great and the

(01:19:02):
more it extended, the better it would be. But that
is a metaphysical nature of life, and it's always been
that way. And then the question is, and it's partially
the possibility of death is partially what gives values values.
If you never face death, then why would anything be good?

(01:19:29):
It would be good because it allowed you to survive.
Survived means there's an alternative. So no, I mean, your
mortality is just a metaphysically given to to be upset
about mortality is to be upset about the universe. It's
to bang your head against the wall. It achieves nothing

(01:19:52):
and it takes you nowhere. The question is, you've got
X number of years here, and yeah, extending that is fantastic,
But what are you going to do with them? How
are you going to use them? How are you going
to live the best life that you can live? How
you going to make every second count? How going to
make it a worthwhile life, a life well lived? That's

(01:20:20):
the whole point. That's the game, and that's what there
is to be achieved. If you can also, at the
same time extend your life somehow great, But the idea
of immortality is it's just it's a fantasy and the
idea of uh, you know, extending life is great, go

(01:20:43):
do it. But the key is to accept the fact
that death is going to be out there and to
live the best life that you can live within the
boundaries that you have. Liam feel better, stay healthy, your

(01:21:07):
souliers need you. Thank you. I appreciate it A couple
of spices. Hope you get well. Thank you. I like
number says I assume you'd never take a vermectin. I
don't take. I mean I take avimctin for what I've
emctin is for. It's very good at getting rid of parasites.
If I had a parasite, I would take avimcton. I
said that earlier. Is there only progression and regression. There's

(01:21:33):
no stagnation in the universe. I think that's right. I
don't think. I don't think you stand in place. I
think there's either move forward move backwards. I don't think
stagnation is something that is sustainable. I don't know if
that's a lot of entropy or what it is, but
I think that's right. You're either moving towards life or

(01:21:55):
towards death. You're moving forward, you're moving backward, standing still
is just not an option. It's what happens when he died.
Andrews says, your critics are sometimes honest, but your objective's
critics often aren't. Yeah. I don't know where that comes from, Andrew,

(01:22:16):
but yeah, I think my objective's critics are rarely honest.
Put it that way, I mean, sadly, I'd love to
have good critics. And if the hostage is a feed,
because Trump getting all the Gulf countries united for his
Commas ultimatum, can you really still say he has no strategy. Yeah?
I don't think he has a strategy. I think he

(01:22:37):
muddles around. And in this case, I think that Jared
Kushner and what's his name, god, the former Prime Minister
of England, came up with these ideas that are now
being presented and Trump ran with it. But look, getting
you can feed the hostages. You can feed the hostages

(01:22:58):
at any time if you've given up about what they wanted.
And the question is not free hostages. The question is
achieving the aims of the post October seventh War. And
I'm not Tony Blair, thank you, and I'm not sure
that I'll be achieved with this piece deal. But no,
Trump has no strategy and he hasn't had a strategy

(01:23:22):
it it and you shouldn't have to need the Golf
State support for anything. Well, all you have to do
is tell Isiell to go in the and win the
freaking thing. But yeah, you know to the extent that

(01:23:43):
he believes that if he appeases the Golf States and
sucks up to them and and does that, then he
can call in favors. If you called that a strategy,
then yeah, as a strategy, that's a strategy. I don't
consider that a strategy. I consider that's It's like saying
a mafia boss as a strategy. There's no strategy there.

(01:24:03):
He believes in trading favors and I'll do one for you,
and you do one for me, and he behaves like
I'm off your boss, and in this case he's calling
in some favors at who's expense, at our expense. Long
term cuss this dim leftists of full on nihilist mode,

(01:24:26):
and conservatives are quickly becoming national socialists. Anti Semitism is
rampant on both sides. Yeah, I mean I think it
is dim. I've been saying it's them for a while
now I think Leonard's dim hypothsis is coming true where
it's gonna. I don't think we're on the verge of
but we might be. We might be. But generally the

(01:24:47):
movement that Leonard predicted in Dim is happening in our world.
There's no question about that in my view. Alex currently
enrolled in the Work and Objectives of Course class through AARI,
but forgot your discount code more money for your right.
But want you to get the credit. Yeah, if they

(01:25:12):
ask you in a survey how you found out about it,
then tell them you heard it on the show and
I'll get the credit that way. Thank you, Alex, and
I'm glad. I'm glad you enrolled. I hope you enjoy it. Andrew.
The high holidays bring man very low, actually crawling on
the floor for some Jews, yes, groveling for the litany

(01:25:33):
of sins. Do you think that cow religion the ultimate
sin is being alive? I don't know. I don't I
don't think so. I don't think that's that's I mean
for Christianity. Christianity has by the very fact that you're alive,
you you have sinned. I don't think the fact that

(01:25:54):
your life is what makes you sin it's it's the
fact that you're human is what makes you sin ful.
But not for Jews. Judaism doesn't have original sin. It
doesn't have that idea. It does have an idea that
man is sinful, but a lot of the a lot
of that is modern. It comes in kind of the

(01:26:16):
post Christianity era. A lot of the prayer book in
Judaism was written post Christianity, and you can tell it's
very influenced by Christianity. But Judaism doesn't have I don't
know a baby. A baby is a sinful being. Judaism

(01:26:39):
doesn't have that because it is. It may because a
man's fault. It recognizes I guess what he considers humans
failed failty, and the fact that human beings uh sin
in irregular they lie, they do things like that, and

(01:27:05):
you know you're on young people. You recognize that fact
and you ask for forgiveness, and God weighs your sins
versus your I guess virtues and decides what your fate
is going to be for the next year, something like that.
I can't remember. I used to go to synagogue and
do all the I send I send to you know

(01:27:27):
all this bs, But haven't done that in many, many,
many decades. James Trump functions by whom he likes. I
don't know of a single major figure in the Democratic
Party with a sub human epistemology to match Trump. I'd
rather take on the left than Trump. Yeah, I mean

(01:27:50):
he has a he's he's like him off your boss.
That's his function. The left is most is almost always,
but they don't have this particular mentality. I agree with you.
I mean they're bad in their own way, really bad
in their own way. A bonnie, Uh, what is the

(01:28:14):
logic book behind your left shoulder? My left shoulder, this
is my left gene. I don't know that. I've got
two logic books, and these are the one gene I
don't think. One's an Introduction to Logic by HWB. Joseph,

(01:28:36):
and this one is Logic and Introduction by Lino Ruby.
And they're both books. They both logic books recommended by
Lenna Peacock at some point. Andrew, if you've examined the

(01:29:02):
validity of a thought behind a negative feeling thoroughly and
concluded it as irrational, and you have the thought again,
try ignoring the feeling and see if it just goes away. Yeah,
I mean, I think that's right. I think acknowledging that
it's still there is worthwhile. Remembering that you did the

(01:29:26):
work and see if that helps over time. If not,
you might have to do some more work. Clark, I
don't think trump switches and leaps are deliberate or calculated.
I think arbitrariness comes naturally to him. Yeah, absolutely not.

(01:29:47):
You have a jogorhithm. Trump has clearly succeeded in setting
the precedent for dictatorship. Pleasing him has become the primary
focus of leaders in business, education, and media and every
walk of life. Yeah. And the challenge be will that
become most of the focus of the generals? Well? Pleasing
him be their focus? It could become very, very scary

(01:30:10):
if that happens. James, the future of the UK looks
bleak now. Scotland seems like it's no better off leaving
it is no better off leaving England. What do you
think is next for the UK of Scotland? You know,
I don't know. I think if there's an election tomorrow,

(01:30:32):
I think the Labor Party would lose, which is good,
but it's probably reform that would win. They would form
a coalition with Conservatives. They would probably deport a lot
of immigrants. They would get a few things right, they
would get a lot of things wrong. I think England

(01:30:55):
is a bitness in for a long period of stagnation.
I think Scotland not leave Britain, will not leave Great Britain.
It's got too much to lose by doing so. I think,
like the rest of Europe, England will, you know, somehow
stagnate forward with fits and bouts and positives and negatives.

(01:31:22):
The sooner an election happens, the better, So at least
get rid of this government and see what's next. Michael,
it was Hitler's success in the beginning a result of
the cowardice, an evasion of the West. You lack of
them all clarity to stand up for the good. Yeah,
and also within Germany, the unwillingness of the better people

(01:31:46):
in Germany to stand up against him, to challenge him,
to recognize him as a real threat. They all thought
he was a clown and wouldn't have any impact, that
wouldn't do anything, It wouldn't be successful. They didn't take
him serious. That was in Germany and outside of it, Michael,
Silicon Valley captured both parties to leave them alone. That's

(01:32:12):
why AI in tech is expanding and the stock market
is doing so well. No, I mean, I don't know
that that's true. I mean there's anti trust cases going
on against Silicon Valley as we speak, a number of
companies in Silicon Valley. I don't think Silicon Valley has
captured both parties still leave them alone, although there's some

(01:32:33):
of that. You know, there's clearly California regulates them less
than they otherwise would because they've captured the Democratic Party
in California and the Trump administrations leaving them alone. But
the stock market is going up for a variety of
reasons that have to do a lot of it has

(01:32:53):
to do with the fact that earnings are really good
and the market is is very optimistic about AI. I
don't think they thought it through. They're optimistic about all
the investment going into AI, they're optimistic about all the
build out. This is a typical bubble what you're seeing

(01:33:16):
right now, an AI bubble, an AI infrastructure investment bubble,
which is sucking capital out of every other investment into
these massive data centers. I think there'll be a consequence
of that, you know, there will be a move down
at some point here how big. I don't know when

(01:33:36):
it will happen. I don't know, but it will happen.
But yeah, I mean, there are lots of reasons why
the stock market, but the stock market doesn't represent the
economy and the stock market doesn't. Isn't just because they've
captured the political party and being left alone. It's because
these companies are dominant globally, not just in America. You know,

(01:34:00):
all these companies have been unbelievably successful in a global scale,
and the market recognizes that, and they're all investing heavily
in this exciting futuristic technology, which I don't think the
market has really thought through about how that gets monetized.
But it's too exciting right now to think thinks too.
So everything's going up. It won't last. Andrews as many

(01:34:28):
in the manosphere, you have an affinity for Islam. Yeah,
I mean, Andrew Tate converted to Islam. Islam treats women really,
really badly. They like that in Islam you have more
than one wife. They like that. Most of them can't
even get one wife, never mind four. But they'd like
to fantasize and look Tucker Causon thinks sharia law is

(01:34:51):
not bad. You know, it keeps people at bay, it
keeps them peaceful. I don't know. I mean, yes, they
like the authoritarianism that's embedded in sharia. Luone, not Cherry jogarhithm.
Why is a life still so good despite the fact
that literally everyone is a collectivist? Well, because you're not.

(01:35:15):
Because your life doesn't depend on everybody else. It depends
on you, and not everybody's a collectivist. There's still enough
people who are good, people who are not collectivists. Whyatt
asking the same question he's asked fifty five other times.
Didn't you say as recently as June that Islam wasn't
the real threat to Europe and couldn't win long term? Yeah?

(01:35:37):
I did say that, and I still say that. What's
the point? Does that mean Islam won't kill a lot
of Europeans between now and the next twenty years. No,
I think it will. And I said that in June.
Muslims will kill a lot of Europeans between now and
native June, Muslims will will disrupt a lot of lives.
They will commit a lot of terrorist attacks, They will

(01:35:59):
kill a lot of people between now and whatever, but
they won't win in the long run, and the real
and they don't pose the real existential, ultimate existential threat
to Europe. That that threat is posed by the reactionary
forces that are going to mount against the slow and

(01:36:21):
those are going to be the Christian Crusaders or whatever
they call themselves. That's what I think. You know, we'll
see if that turns out to be true or not.
But again, the fact that I said that they're not
the real threat to Europe and couldn't win long term
does not mean that they're not a threat to Europe
and does not mean that they won't kill people in

(01:36:43):
the meantime. Now, it'll be interesting to see if next
month you can ask me the same question again, and
then six months later again, and then a year later again.
I'm spelling it out, I think as clearly as I can.
So either I'm feeling you are purposefully not listening, which
I think is nanswer, Linda. I look forward to the

(01:37:05):
day that Trump is not part of the daily vocabulary.
That will be amazing. Frank gie Hatty's father praise ooktober
seventh attack. Also, no aid is being found on Greta's
Florida and also, and does monitor them mesh with ideas
of monument builders. Yes, that's right. I read someone giadis

(01:37:30):
the guy who killed these Jews, did praise October seventh,
So he's one of the bad guys. He's an Islamist.
And if you praise October seventh, don't be surprised if
your kids try to emulate it, which is what his
son did. I don't understand the question about modyled him.

(01:37:50):
I don't understand the question about monitored him and monument Billersori. Andrew,
it's a bominable that there's going to be a man
of New York City who would, if left his own,
allow the rest of the NAL based on ICC want.
That's one among many, many, many, many reasons it's going
to be an abomination to have Mumdannie as mayor. Yeah,

(01:38:12):
I agree, Andrew. Do you think the majority of military
personnel strong im Thanto going to Virginia to listen to
the you know whatever, the monologue by excess and Trump
resented or when we're in line with it. I think
most of them resented. I think who knows, but that's

(01:38:32):
my thought. Michael, how do you keep your head above
water in a world that is headed down a dark path.
You focus on the things that you can control. You
focus on your own life, You focus on your own values.
You focus on the things that you love doing. Michael,
money loves speed, wealth loves time, poverty loves indecision. I

(01:39:05):
have no comment. I don't think that's right. Margaret, glad
you're back here on Thank you, Margaret Cook. I was
the sixteen to ninth like on today's show. Nice, Okay, cool? Michael.
Is it still likely America embraces objectivism before any other country?

(01:39:30):
I don't know any other country. I mean, there's just
no I don't see any likely it of another country
doing it. So happy to find another country that is
more likely. I just don't know where. I wish there
were some candidates. All right, shames as a capitalist, who

(01:39:54):
do you think as a capitalist? What do you think
about comedians going to Saudi Arabia out of them criticize
us but everything and say nothing about Saudies. I think
it's horrible that they're going to Saudi Arabia. I think
it's a disgrace. They're obviously going to change there what
they're presenting. You know, Saudi Arabia is a country where

(01:40:16):
you go to you can get you can get into
prison for life for what you say. There's no freedom
of speech, there's no freedom of religion. There's atheists. Atheists
go to prison. Yeah, it is absolutely horrible that that

(01:40:38):
they are going to Saudi Arabia g grouped up. Are
you on one COVID zero? What treatment helped glad you
feel better? I mean the thing that helps COVID is rest.
That's it. I mean, unless you get a really bad

(01:41:00):
you have to go to the hospital and then they
can give you other stuff. And in some cases you
take paxilloid it's called but you know, let your doctor
determine that. What helped suit a fad for the congestion,
advil and thailand all for the fever and for the

(01:41:22):
sore throat, and then lots of tea and uh and
lots of rest, lots of rest. You know, Paxolloid is
we're taking if you're in a if you're in a
what do you call it a risk group. I'm not
in a risk group, so I didn't take paxloid. But yeah,

(01:41:48):
and and you know, and take your vitamins. You know,
I'm i'm I'm I think Vitamin D is is good
for you to take. But you should be taking that anyway,
not not just when you get sick. You should just
take away. You should most of us, most of us
are are what do you call it, lower vitamin D

(01:42:08):
than we should. Yeah, I don't know, I don't know,
uh what else there's no I mean, it's it's like
the flu in the cold. I mean, what do you
do when you have flu? In the cold? You rest?
I mean zinc maybe you know, I don't know. Zinc
is good for colds and flus mostly cuts the time

(01:42:31):
if you take it early. But the sciences, you know,
the science is uh is questionable, and it's hard to
measure how much time, and it's you know, uh, and
each one of us a little different. So but yeah,
I think I think most of us have vitamin D deficiencies.
ISOL needed before I started taking vitamin D. So Islam

(01:42:53):
Ali what makes Evangelical Christians love Israel while Catholics are
growing more and more distant from Israel also feel better.
I think the evangelicals have this notion that the end
of the world is coming. Israel is necessary, as they
read the prophecies, Israel has to exist for the end

(01:43:13):
of the world to come. When the end of the
world comes, the Jews either converted Christianity or go to Hell.
They believe the existence of Israel is part of prophecy
and it's part of the necessary conditions for Jesus to
come back. That's why they love Israel. It's bizarre, but

(01:43:34):
they're crazy. Equal to reality. Some get well money, thank you,
equal to reality. Appreciate it. Thanks us, pleasepan. What's kevlock?
Can it stop bullets? Yes? It can. It depends on
the bullets. I mean the close to the range, the

(01:43:56):
big of the bullets, the higher the velocity, the less
it can stop it. But overall, oh yes, it can
certainly stop a bullet. It's it's a it's a material
that basically, you know, captures the bullet. It doesn't it
doesn't allow the bullet to penetrate through. So you get
the impact and you could be knocked out from the impact,

(01:44:17):
but the bullet won't penetrate your skin. It's also a
good against knife attacks as to stop a knife. Fank
thoughts on Jane Goodall Dead and Nighty one. She had
an amazing life. I mean she did. She was this
researcher in gorillas and stuff, and she had an amazing life.
On the one hand, then other hand, very anti human,

(01:44:41):
very crazy environmentalist, very very wanting. She wanted ah, she
wanted a population to shrink. She wanted human population to shrink,
really philosophically, really really really really bad, really bad. Yes,

(01:45:01):
he has said. Cavlo is a fabric. It's a weave.
It's a kind of a weave, but it's a it's
an incredibly strong fabric. And the way it's woven is
what prevents the bullet from penetrating. It kind of captures
the bullet. It's the best I have. All right, guys,
I better go losing my voice. I will see you

(01:45:23):
all hopefully tomorrow if I were gaining the voice by tomorrow.
Appreciate the support thanks to all the super chatters. And
I'm not sure what the topic will be tomorrow, but
we'll figure it out. Have a great weekend. It's going
to be back see tomorrow. Bye everybody.
