Speaker 1 (00:04):
Fundamental principles. I love freedom, rational self interest, and individual runs.
This is the book show. Oh right, everybody, welcome to
here on Brook Show on this Monday, September twenty second.

(00:27):
I hope everybody's having a had a great weekend and
having a good beginning of your week. So thanks, thanks
for joining me. I gotta tell you, I mean, this
weekend was so full of news. There was so much
going on. I don't know how are we gonna cover
everything today? And I had to cut a bunch of

(00:48):
things I was planning to talk about. As it is,
the list is very long. Yeah, I mean, we're gonna
talk about Charlie's memorial service, but the Trump administration is
just just I mean, the stuff breaking on Trump this weekend,
there was so much stuff and so much important stuff,
big stuff that you couldn't keep track of it. And

(01:13):
I think everybody's kind of shell shocked today because none
of it seems to be sticking, none of it seems
to be There seems to be very little response, partially
because so many people are talking about the momos for Charlie.
But wow, I mean, I was did a show yesterday
last night about why Trump is much worse than I

(01:36):
expect that he would be because there was so much,
There was so bad coming out just this weekend. It
just blew me away. But anyway, we're going to get
to that. We'll try to get to most of it,
maybe not all of it. We'll try to get to
as much of it as possible, and we'll see where
we go. Yeah. People, Uh, just gonna hate on me

(01:58):
again for all my anti Trump stuff, but that's part
of the course. I want to say something quickly about
my comments about political violence the other day. I got
a lot of pushback, I guess in the comment section
of that of the video where I basically said, there's

(02:21):
more there's a there's more body count, but there more events,
the more actual occurrences of violence from the right. Then
they offer the left. And people just flipped out over this,
and and I know they always flip out over this,
and and that's okay, and and so they say, I'm
gaming the years. We can change the years. I think

(02:43):
the results we will stay the same. Instead of thirty years,
you can make it twenty five. So you don't you
don't count the what do you call it? Uh, the
guy who blew up the the FBI headquarters. You can
take that out if you want. You still get the
same results. But you know, you can measure it all

(03:08):
the ways you want in terms of the empirics of it,
you get the same result. Now, it's true, it's it's
hard to capture all the different acts of violence from
let's say BLM. I mean, you do you measure every riot?
Do you measure every occurrence within every riot? So look,
any way you measure these things, it's going to be

(03:32):
it's going to be very tricky to figure out. And
then of course there's when Antifa shows up and the
Proud Boys or whoever is there. Who starts right? Who
starts there's a couple. Political violence on the left, political
violence in the right. You can do whatever you want
with that. I know that the story on the right,
the conspiracy conspiratorial story on the right, is that the

(03:54):
guys shot the Minnesota Congress people was a leftist. But
he was not. He was some right. He was clearly
trying to kill democrats. He had a whole list of
people he was going to kill. You can go on
and on and on, but the reality is that the
right has a longer history of violence. Now, it is
true that the left in polls supports more violence. But

(04:19):
that's a huge difference because the reality is that lots
of people support violence and they won't do it. And
the question is who's willing to do it and who's
more organized to do it. And by the way, how
many counts of violence do you count January sixth? Of course,
I think most people who are defending the right don't

(04:40):
even come January sixth as political violence. It was just
a walk in the park, a tour, a guided tour
of the Capitol, according to Tucker Calson, So I mean,
there's so much distortion, so much perversion on the right.
They make up stuff. And this is the point. My
sources are the Justice Department under Trump and under Biden

(05:05):
and under Trump aganda. Though last week the report on
domestic violence, you know, by different groups was taking offline
because it claimed that the biggest threat was from the right,
not from the left. So they took it offline because
they don't want you to know that. Also, there's a
there's a study by Cato. Cato's not pro left, and

(05:28):
yet there's a study by Cato and that that study,
uh clearly shows a significant more violence on the right
than from the left. And then there's another the other
studies that are out there, academic studies that have been
done that show the same result, and there's alt this
consistent across the board. Now, if you want to contradict

(05:49):
what I said, if you're serious about contradicting, and you
consider yourself rational and and and consider about the data
and so on, it's very easy cite a study that chose,
or do a study that chose. But I haven't seen one.
I haven't seen a study that shows that there's more
violence on the left political violence on the left and
on the right. Show it to me. I mean, nobody

(06:12):
ever mentions the shooting up of the synagogue in Pennsylvania,
and nobody mentions the apasto and the other the other
one at Walmart or whatever it was that I mentioned
a show. People don't mention that as violence of the right,
but it was the one manifestos. They pretend those aren't
really from the right, the same as they pretend the
Minnesota guy wasn't. They don't consider January six. Yeah, they

(06:35):
whitewash everything that happens on the right. They either reassign
it to the left or they pretend it didn't happen.
But show me the study. I mean, how do you know?
Let me ask you. Guys who don't agree with me,
and it's fine not to agree with me, but how
do you know I'm wrong? What sources can you cite

(06:56):
other than Steve Bannon and various talking heads on the right.
What sources can you cite in terms of actual studies?
Give me a link, Send me links to the studies
where it's shown the political violence on the left. And
then I can read two studies and I can tell
you what I think which one makes no sense. But

(07:17):
I've seen none. I've seen a lot of conspiracy theories.
I've seen a lot of people just yelling. I've seen
a lot of people just arguing and claiming, making claims,
lots of people making claims. But there are studies. People
actually study this, people actually categorize this, and maybe the
categorization is wrong, maybe the categorization is wrong, and then

(07:41):
you know, I'm willing to call that out. But so
many somebody has actually done the work, has actually gone in.
I have not, I admit I have not gone in
to the papers and studied every occurrence and seen how
they categorize it. Did they do it right? Did they
do it wrong? What I do notice is there's no
zero that I found study that shows the opposite. So

(08:07):
the data seems to be on this. Now, if I
was going to do my own study, I or do
my own study, but I don't have the time to
do that. I can't I can't accumulate all that and
do all that myself. So I'm just reporting based on
the best information I have, and it seems right because
it's consistent. And again, so it's like Kto is not biased.

(08:28):
They often I disagree with Kato on a lot of things,
particularly the front policy it's horrible, But a payment like this,
they don't have a bias against the right and pro
the left. Again, show me, show me a alternative, all right,
put that aside. I just wanted to vent a little

(08:49):
bit because I just read the comments and they just
it's just it's just ridiculous. I mean, I'm fine with
people saying you're on wrong, Okay, show me and you
can't show me anecdotes always wrong than by Minnesota. Take
the Minnesota motors out of it, doesn't change the picture.
So show me where where as well, show me a study,

(09:16):
show me a data source. You guys claim to be
basing this on facts. What facts are you using. What
you're using is your impression. What you're using is the vibe.
What you're using is what the guys on right wing
talk tell you. That's it. That's that's what you're using.
That that is the data. So you know, completely non objective.

(09:39):
Show me some objective source, like I talk about Charlie's memorials.
So Charlie's momorials will He was held in Arizona this weekend.
There's a massive event. People came in from all over
the country. By some accounts, there were two hundred thousand
people there. Uh, they filled the stadium of sixty thousand.
There was an overflow stadium that they fil old and

(10:00):
there's still people who couldn't get it. Massive, massive number
of people, and of course the speakers. I think this
thing lasted at least five hours. The speaker list was
the who's who of today's conservative movement, if you want
to call it conservative, maybe Christian conservative, maybe Christian nationalist

(10:22):
movement is more accurate. But it was a who's who
from from a bunch of cabinet you know, from from
the president was there, the Vice president was there, Rubio
was there, Tecker Carlson was there not from the cabinet,
uh and and lots of the lot and you know,
and there were there was Charlie, Charlie's priest, and there
were just a lot of people there. A lot of

(10:43):
people spoke and it definitely with that question. Just looking
just I've seen a few videos it looks like a
revival Christian revival meeting. It was. It was really amazing.
I mean you've got tens of thousands of people tenting
and clapping and cheering, and anytime something, you know, hyper

(11:04):
religious comes up, the tone is really set. With the
with Erica. Erica's Charlie's Wife is a speech which was
thirty minute long. A part of it were quite movie
because I mean here's a here's a woman who just
lost her husband. So I give her credit for having

(11:26):
the courage an ability to speak without bursting out in tears.
I mean she quite a number of times and had
to stop in the middle bit wow, I mean she
pulled through it, and she she said her piece, She
said what she wanted to say, So I give a
credit that none of that is easy. I just can't
imagine what her and the kids are going through uh,

(11:46):
And so I mean, good for her, and she's obviously
a good public speaker. She is now going to be
the CEO of Turning Points USA, and she's committed to
making it much bigger, much better, much greater. You know
now that she see you. But her message was basically

(12:09):
the whole the whole talk was was was religious. I
mean it was. It was astoundingly religious. Uh. I mean,
I know Charlie was religious, but I didn't know he
was this religious, or maybe his wife is more. But
this was all about God. This was this was about
saving young people, saving with religion. I mean she said,

(12:31):
I mean, this is probably the most moving part of
the talk, and I'm gonna read it rather than having
you watch it. But she broke up a number of
times saying this, said my husband childly, he wanted to
save young men, just like the one who took his
life on the cross. Our savior, said, Father, forgive them,

(12:51):
for they know not what they do. And then she
cries and and she halts, and then she says that
young man, I give him, and more tears, and everybody cheers,
and everybody gives us a standing ovation when she says
I forgive him uh, and of course a very Christian
thing to do. And her speech is just riddled with Christianity.

(13:14):
And Jennifer says she thinks she's a preacher studying to
be I wouldn't be surprised she's got that. But but
Christianity's infused, you know, everything she said. It was all
over the place. Even at some point she talks. She
talks to young men and she you know, and to

(13:34):
men generally, and she says, love your wives and lead them,
lead them, love your children and protect them. Be the
spiritual ahead of your home. But please be a leader
worth following your wife. Your wife is your servant. Your
wife is not your employee. Sorry, your wife is not
your servant. Your wife is not your employee. Your wife
is not your slave. She is your helper. You're not rivals,

(13:58):
your one flesh walking together for the glory of God.
Of course, some uh, Christians were offended by this by
it took this to be a feminist statement, but I
think most you know, but she's obviously a strong lady.
But you know, this is the this is the kind

(14:18):
of the trad con but again, super Christian, and uh,
I think I think people really, uh really moved by it,
and you know, we'll get some I'll give you a
summation afterwards. But uh, anyway, half an hour about half

(14:39):
an hour speech. Yeah, the whole thing was unbelievably religious
revival Christian meaning unbelievable. The only the only speaker, the
only speaker who really was not religious at all, who
brought a definite secular tone to this and and said something.

(15:04):
I'm gonna show you a clip who brought a kind
of a secular tone to this was Donald Trump. Donald
Trump would know Jesus if the guy appeared to him
in real life. I mean, I mean it was. It
was Trump. Not only did it tellt his tariffs, which
is kind of just bizarre, the typical Trump bizarre. But

(15:27):
I'm going to pay a clip. We actually says something
that I agree with. I agree with Trump on this,
and this is the Trump that I think ultimately Christian's love.
They don't want a Christian, they don't want a Christian.

(15:49):
What they want is this. They want this Trump. This
is what they voted for. But of course, you know
it's much it's much more complex, inness but this is
the one thing Trump said in a long time. I
think then I actually do it that is Actually he's right.

(16:11):
And let's see how I'm gonna show you this. I'm
gonna put you there right there, All right, there's Trump.
It's only thirty eight seconds. I'm gonna let it play
and watch this Trump at his very best. In that
private moment on his dying day, we find everything we

(16:36):
need to know about who Charlie Kirk truly was. He
was a missionary with a noble spirit and a great,
great purpose. He did not hate his opponents. He wanted
the best for them. That's where I disagreed with Charlie.
I hate my opponent and I don't want the best

(16:56):
for them. I'm sorry. I am sorry Erica. But now
Erica can talk to me and the whole group and
maybe they can convince me that that's not right. But
I can't stand my opponent. Yeah, he hates his opponents
and he's not hiding it. That is Trump, right. I

(17:22):
don't buy this Christian to another cheek stuff love your enemy.
What the hell? I don't love my enemy. I want
only bad stuff for my enemy. And I'm with him
on that and with him on that. That's the best
thing he's ever said. And this is why people. People

(17:45):
do you know, people voted for him because there is that,
there's a sense of authenticity. He's not playing games with him.
He is what he appears to be. He's this thuggish
mafio so like personality. By the way, when when when
she said I forgive him, and she said love your enemy,
and she said a bunch of these things, she got
a standing ovation for every single one of them, every

(18:08):
single one of them. When Trump said I hate my enemies,
he got a standing ovation for that. I mean, this
is the Republican Party. They can decide right, they can
decide right. Erica says, find Jesus, forgive your enemies. Everybody cheers.
Trump says, right right after Erica, Right, Nope, I'm over

(18:31):
ruling Christianity. Don't forgive your enemies and hate them. Crowd cheers.
I mean, that's maga for you. They want the Christianity,
but they want somebody out there. They want a pagan.
They want a pagan to lead them, with no mals,
with no morality, to do whatever it takes to crush

(18:51):
the people they really don't like because they can't do
it because they're supposed to turn another cheek. Maybe that's
why violence from the right is so low. Suppose because
they turn the other cheek. It's I mean, of course
we can debate what Christianity actually says, and of course,

(19:14):
you know Augustine says, yeah, I love your enemies, but
also destroy them if they don't convert to Christianity. Kill
them all, you know, chart them on what is he beheads?
Was it forty five thousand people in one day because
they refuse to convert to Christianity, all in the name
of Christianity, on the name of Jesus. So yeah, Christians,
you're not exactly a friendly religion. It's as violent as

(19:36):
any religion out there, you know it. It gives is Islam,
at least in its history, a run for its money
in terms of casualties on the battlefield and in terms
of casualties under the sword for conversion. But it plays
turn the other cheek and love your enemy, and I forgive, forgive.
I could never forgive somebody for killing my spouse. There's

(19:59):
no way in hell ever. I don't care what happens.
They're not forgiven. I don't even know what that means.
I have no conception or what does actually mean to
forgive somebody who's just killed suppose to your highest value.
What does it mean? So yeah, that was Trump's shiny moment.

(20:25):
He then went on to praise his own tariffs and
you know, tell somebody gives rich again. He says, richer
than anyone ever thought was possible. I thought it was
possible to be richer. And the only one challenging them
are people that hate our country or felling countries that
are paying the price. That's the only people who hate them.

(20:49):
A god, he's some He's a piece of work, that guy.
Piece of work, all right, But that will get serious,
right because Trump Trump is just a intermediary. He's the
he's the transition figure. He's a transition figure. To understand

(21:09):
what's really going on here, we have to listen to
people who are the future of the Republican Party, the
future of this movement, the people who take this seriously,
the people who are going to apply this love they enemy,
uh or not, maybe maybe more of Trump's version hate

(21:33):
the enemy. They're gonna apply it to the real world.
So let's listen to one of those. This is this
is this is quite a speech. I think I can't
think again, It's it's worth watching. Let me see they
get this I think we're right there. This is good.

(21:54):
But see what you think of miss Miller here and
what he has to say and and think about. I
don't know how much you know the history. Who does
this remind you? What kind of what does this remind
you of? But anyway, this is uh Steve Miller, the

(22:15):
advisor to Donald Trump, particularly in immigration issues, with also
other issues, who's been very outspoken since Sharley Cook's murder.
And uh, yeah, listen to this.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
The storm whispers to the warrior that you cannot withstand
my strength, and the warrior whispers back, I am the storm.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Erica is the storm.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
We are the storm, and our enemies cannot comprehend our strength,
our determination, our resolve, our passion, our liney, our legacy.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Notice our lineage, our lineage, lineage is al genes are people.
So when he continues to say we we the people,
we whatever, we witnesses, we builders, we whatever, what he
means is people of his lineage, his white European lineage.

(23:26):
That's who he's talking about, and of the right ideas,
lineage and heritage, right ideas. Yeah, I wanted to I
don't know. I don't think I'll stop it again. But
I want to point out lineage because it's.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
Creepy, our lineage and our legacy.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
Legacy to Athens. Let me just say, no lineage of
his hails back to Athens, maybe to Rome.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Soonly not the Athens, to Athens, to Rome, to Philadelphia.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
And not to Philadelphia our ancestors, and not to Monticello.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
They produced the ar and architecture, They built the industry.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
They who are they? Who are the they that build
the industry? That they who built this country? Who is
the they? The lineage? Remember the lineage those Scottish people
who came over and he his lineage is Monticello. Thomas Jefferson.

(24:31):
Oh my god, it's Thomas Jefferson spinning in his grave
right now.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
Erica stands on the shoulders of thousands of years of warriors,
of women who raised up families, raised up city, raised
up industry, raised up civilization, who pulled us out of
the caves and the darkness into the light. The light
will defeat the dark. We will prevail over the fourth

(25:00):
of wickedness and evil. They cannot imagine what they have awakened.
They cannot conceive of the army that they have arisen
in all of us. Because we stand for what is good,
what is virtuous, what is noble. And to those trying
to incite violence against us, those trying to foment hatred

(25:23):
against us, what do you have?

Speaker 1 (25:27):
You have nothing? You are nothing.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
You are wickedness, you are jealousy, you are envy, you
are hatred. You are nothing. You can build nothing, you
can produce nothing, you can create nothing. We are the
ones who build. We are the ones who create. We
are the ones who lift up humanity. You thought you

(25:53):
could kill Charlie Kirk. You have made him am mortal.
You have immortalized Charlie Kirk, and now millions will carry.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
On his legacy. The storm whispers to the ward I suspect.
You know, the Charlie Cook's legacy is probably not what
Charlie Cook would have wanted. But who knows. This guy's
crazy and he's and he's dangerous. You know, he doesn't

(26:24):
actually say, He doesn't actually tell you what is coming.
He doesn't tell you who we are, he implies, he insinuates,
he doesn't think the country's ready yet for the full
blown on, you know, on truth about what they intend.

(26:46):
But he is a voice. I don't know if you
heard the crowd cheering in the background as he went
on and on and getting more and more and more
riled up. And you know is they are the Democrats?

(27:07):
They are who are they? And now it's an it's
an army of revenge, that's what he calls it. And uh,
you know that there's it's it's it's really scary. You

(27:29):
are wickedness? Who are these people? Who is wickedness? Who
is jealous? Who is envy? Who is hatred? You are
nothing when he says you are nothing, You've built nothing,
you produced nothing. It is just just anybody who's left
of Senna? Does that include Silicon Valley? Who are these people?

(27:51):
And who the hell is he? And yet people are
gushing this is the most powerful speech I have ever heard,
and and stuff like that. So it's going to be
interesting to see what the follow up is on this.

(28:18):
But it's it's scary. The you know, I don't like
to fill on the fascist termm, but speeches like that
really sound like, you know, sound like fascist terminology. Some
of the references that he makes Google's makes the same references.
But but he's not right, He's not fascist yet, right,

(28:40):
This is just hinting because he's not laying it out.
He's not telling you who they are, he's not telling
you who we are. He's not spelling it out. He's
still not confident enough to actually spell it out, and
he still feels like he has to height it present

(29:04):
it kind of in hidden terminology that can be reinterpreted.
But we know, we know, we know exactly what he's
talking about. You know, for a fact, I thought i'd
also include a segment by this guy. Let's see if

(29:28):
I can just maybe sent to this a little bit
there he is a Tucker Calson, just because he gives
another spin to it. Right, there's a ton of tens
of thousands of people and just I just want to
show you again, I know, I repeat myself how nuts
this guy is. He's completely insane. So you can just

(29:50):
see it at the end. What's when he does at
the end, and it's just weird. But the now, the
anti Semitism is, it's just dripping from him. He can't
repress it.

Speaker 3 (30:05):
Ultimately, he was a Christian evangelist and it actually reminds
me of my favorite story ever. So it's about two
thousand years ago in Jerusalem and Jesus shows up and
he starts talking about the people in power, and he
starts doing the worst thing that you can do, which
is telling the truth about people. And they hate it,

(30:27):
and they just go bonkers.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
They by the way, they hate it. They go bancas.
He's not talking about the Romans, not talking about the Romans, right,
hate it, and they become obsessed with making him stop.
This guy's got to stop talking. We've got to shut
this guy up.

Speaker 3 (30:43):
And I can just sort of picture the scene in
a lamplit room with a bunch of guys sitting around
eating hummus, thinking about what do we do about this
guy telling the truth about us?

Speaker 1 (30:52):
We must make him stop talking.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
And there's always one guy with the bright idea, and
I can just hear him say, I've got a idea.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
Why don't we just kill him?

Speaker 3 (31:01):
That'll shut him up, that'll fix the problem. It doesn't
work that way. It doesn't work that way. Everything is inverted.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
Did you see that laughter at the end. The guy's nuts.
I mean he's really nuts. It's shockingly nuts. Sitting around
eating homeless. That's not the omens, that's not the omens

(31:41):
that those are the Jews sitting around and decided to
kill Jesus, and is he talking about Jesus talking about
Charlie Cook because he's the one together with Candice spending
the UMAs. Still even now that it wasn't the Left,

(32:05):
it was the Jews, the somebody them's sad whoever who
killed Charlie Cook. Yeah, this is to cookofs and millions
of followers continue to have millions of followers. Maybe some
of you follow him, you should, you should un follow
him just to send a message. Wait, millions of followers

(32:29):
and then, you know, just to give you some more
flavor of kind of the Christian tone. I'll play you
a minute of of gd Vans.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
A little uncomfortable talking about my faith.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
In public, as much as I love the Lord, really
much as it was an important part of my life.

Speaker 4 (32:53):
Really, I have talked more about Jesus Christ in the
past two weeks than I have my entire time and public.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
Life, standing ovation, standing ovation. Look at that tens of
thousands of people. This is what they want. This is
the Christian revival.

Speaker 4 (33:20):
Scary stuff, and that is an undeniable legacy of the
great Charlie Kirk. You know, he loved God, and because
he loved God, he wanted to understand God's creation and
the men and women made in his image. Now, much
has been said over the last week about Charlie's ability

(33:42):
to approach anytime a little uncomfortable talking about my faith
in public.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
As much as I love the Lord, I haven't seen
him uncomfortable talking about faith in public. But maybe, I mean,
this is pretty this is pretty amazing, the extent to
which they are coming out explicitly and equivocally with the Christianity,
and they're linking it with politics. And look, you guys

(34:13):
have followed me. No, I believe Christianity is a negative
force in our world. I think it is a negative
force and has been since the beginning in the world
of which we live. I think that it is holds
us back. It is it is a force you know
that that is counted to liberty and freedom because it's
countered to reason and rational self interest. Christianity is not

(34:37):
a force for the good. It's not you know, better
than nothing, I guess, and and you know it's it's
it's it's not like the worst of the left is not,
in its essential terms, not inspired in the end by Christianity.
The worst of the left, the communism. Communism was invented

(34:59):
by the Christians in the very early years of Christianity.
Woe Cancel culture. All of that is very very Christian
and you can see so much a maga reverting to it.
So Christianity stands at the heart of most of our problems.
I've got a book coming out on that. Next book

(35:22):
is going to be exactly on this topic, Christianity versus
the West. That is the tentative title, Christianity versus the West.
And you know, if nothing else, Charlie Cook's assassination is
bringing out the Christians. They're coming out in force, in space,

(35:45):
with energy. And it's true. Charlie was a Christian. I
don't know if he was this much of a Christian,
but maybe he was. I just don't know. I knew
him when he was a little bit less, a little
bit more secular. I want to read you something that
writ wrote. This is a British Conservative, a British Christian wrote.

(36:08):
He says, in Charlie Clok's memorial service, what's by tens
of millions? I just heard multiple clear presentations of the
Gospel for men like the two names I don't know,
with clear cause to a pentance and faith. He goes
on worship songs full of scripture, sung by tens of

(36:29):
thousands live and millions at home, personal testimonies of lives
transformed by the work of Christ and the witness of believers,
demonstration and explanation of the value of marriage, childhoving and family.
Calls to Romans thirteen for the government to bear the
sword for the protection of good and punishment of the wicked.

(36:51):
Define wicked, what is wicked? Unbelieving is that wicked? Declarations
of spiritual warfare on the force of evil and promises
to endure a matter of the cost. Calls to be
prophets and call the nation to repent. More scripture references
and Bible readings than I can count, And a widow

(37:14):
publicly forgiving her husband's killer because Christ forgave his killers
on the cross, and he says, all of it done
before and by the most powerful people in your country.
It is a light to the world, not in my world.

(37:42):
And this is the Bannon. The whole service was muscular Christianity.
Muscular Christianity. I like that right. New York Times and
MSNBC are going to melt down. A form of Christian
nationalism was put forward. The memorial for a slain American martyr.

(38:03):
You had the DNA, Secretary of War, Secretary of State,
President of the United States, Charlie's team, and the widow
the most powerful people in the United States government. Never
in the eighteenth or nineteenth century have we seen that
professed about a man who lived Christianity. Never, he says,

(38:26):
this is Bannon, not me. Never, not in the eighteenth
or nineteenth century. And I think that's right. Never is
this country being led by people I mean, put aside
Trump Pooh is an empty vessel in most of gods,
except for tarrifs. Never is this country be led by

(38:48):
a group of people who are so committed to their faith,
and so committed to their faith applied to politics. These
are the opposite of the funding fathers. These are Christian nationalists,
not men of the Enlightenment, men of the pre Enlightenment,

(39:11):
not men of individual rights, men of Bible thumping, of
religious fervor, of the imposition of Christian morality. If they
had their way on all of us. This is I
can't think of a I mean, I know, I can't

(39:32):
think of an enemy more substantial than this. I know
the Left is evil, It absolutely is and the further
left you go the crazier and not either they are
I know they're violent, they absolutely are violent, and see
it in Italy today. We'll talk about that. But they

(39:53):
cannot muster what these people muster. This is again what
Lennapeko talks about in deb They kind of muster the
conf friends, the subtainty, the integration, the vision, the values,
really the vision the world is they see it. The

(40:15):
left has nothing but destruction to offer its people, nothing
but an image of burning cities to offer people, nothing
but an image of Kamas on October seventh to offer people.
The right has some kind of perverse shining city on
a hill, and that's powerful. That is power. It has

(40:39):
an after life, It has a story to tell, It
has a story to tell. It seems like Erica of
America speech is going to turn Turning Point USA into
more of a Christian organization than it has been. That
it's going to be its focus, that's going to be
it's push and yeah, it's uh, this right is M two.

(41:08):
For those of you who read dim, the right typically
has been M one. This right is M two. All right, Yeah,
I definitely think the left is smarter than the right.
There's no question about that when it comes to just
brain power. But that doesn't matter. Smarts don't win. Smarts

(41:30):
don't win, I mean spants. In terms of just just
conceptual ability, problem solving, math science, the left is more
knowledgeable than the right at least at least you know. Yeah,
I think that's right. Uh, But that that that is

(41:52):
not going to see winning, quite the opposite. It often
guarantees losing. All right, let's let's talk about some other stuff.

(42:14):
So over the weekend, Donald Trump had and and and
his comments. Secretary Letnick Letrick Letnick unveiled a new H
one B program, H one B restrictions, H one B taxes,
and uh, there was a lot of confusion initially because

(42:36):
what they told us all either was wrong to begin with,
or they quickly quickly backtracked because they got such a response.
My guess is they phones just rang off like crazy
from all those tech CEOs who sat around the table,
you know, congratulating Trump. They all freaked out and probably

(42:58):
were on the phone calling everybody in this administration until
they changed their minds. This is what they proposed. Well,
I mean, this is an executive vote, it's signed, it's
a done deal. Maybe there'll be a lawsuit. Bit it's
a done deal for now. If you want to hire

(43:19):
people using an H one B, that's okay. But to
do that, you're gonna have to pay one hundred thousand
dollars per employee you sponsor one hundred thousand dollars fee
for sponsoring an employee. Now, based on what they said

(43:39):
in the White House on Saturday, or maybe this was
Friday afternoon, it was going to be one hundred thousand
per employee per year you employed them, and it started
to affect immediately H one B holders today. And if

(44:06):
your H one B holder was in was outside the
country when he in order to get him to come
in order to get him back, like let's say we're
traveling to visit relatives. In order to get him back,
they said you were gonna have to pay one hundred
thousand dollars before you get come back. So people were

(44:30):
on flights. People were on planes getting ready to fly
home to India. I mean, I think that's where most
of them move, or could have been to anywhere in Asia.
These were flights in San Francisco and literally got calls
from their companies to immediately get off the plane not
to leave the country, and people were frantically getting off

(44:54):
planes in San Francisco, San Jose, you know, la off
of flights because they didn't want to get stuck in
India or whatever it was without the ability to come home,
because the companies would have had to pay one hundred
thousand dollars per employee to bring them home. I mean,
think about that kind of expense. This is lose lose, lose, lose, lose, lose, lose,

(45:21):
and this is just insane. Now, the tech companies freaked
out when they heard this, and it's hard to imagine exactly,
you know, exactly what happened. I don't know, and I
have no you know, first time information about exactly what happened.

(45:45):
But you know, over the weekend, the State Department came
out with their whole FAQ on this, right and the
number of corrections that they made. Right. This doesn't apply
to existing H one B. It requires to anybody who

(46:10):
will be included in the twenty twenty six lottery and
any H one B petitions submitted after midnight on September
twenty first, twenty twenty five, So it doesn't apply to
people who already have H one b's It supposedly is

(46:33):
not an annual fee. It's a one time fee. The
proclamation does not apply, they say, to any previous issued
H one B visas or any petitions submitted prior to
September twenty first. It does not change any paymental fees
required to be submitted in connection with any H one

(46:54):
BU renwls. The fee is a one time fee on
submission of any H one B petition. It does not
prevent any whole defacounty H one B from traveling in
and out of the United States. Now they tell us,
after people you know fled off of planes and we're
probably panicking when they you know, over the weekend, They say,

(47:17):
further steps will be taken to a film the H
one V program as contemplated in the proclamation, including a
rulemaking by the Bottom of Labor to revise and raise
the prevailing wage levels in order to upscale the H
one B program and ensure that it is used to
hire only the best and best temporary feign workers the
best of the best temporary farm workers. A rulemaking by

(47:38):
the bottom of Homeland Security to prioritize high skilled, high
paid aliens in H one B lottery over those with
low wage levels. Additional forms also under consideration will be
announced in the coming months. What's the point of this,
I mean, it's uh. I mean, this is the sequence

(48:04):
of events that happened, just to give you a sense
how completely unmoored this administration is. During the Friday White
House Past Conference, the Secretary of Commerce, who had no
authority over immigration secretive comments, was invited to communicate the
whole out of the new policy, where he said it
would be an annual one hundred thousand dollars fee on
all H one bs for everyone renewing their visas and

(48:27):
for those applying for the first time. The same day,
the White House releases the proclamation, which re itierates that
it applies to literally all H one B workers who
are outside of the United States, and then it goes
into effect the following Monday. A day later, the Press
Secretary tweets that the defects of the proclamation start during
next year's H one B lottery and doesn't impact people

(48:49):
who are already have a visa or are renewing their visas,
and that they can all re enter the country without
paying the fee, a complete contradiction of what was said
at the White House Press Conference was written in the
White House Proclamation. Hours later, USCIS and CBP, which have
no direct authority in implementing this proclamation, claim that it

(49:12):
only applies to future petitions, but doesn't specify people petitioning
for renewal a subject to or exempt from it. Meanwhile,
the State Department, the agency that actually has the authority
to implement this proclamation, still says nothing on the subject. Now,
finally the State Department came out with FAQ on it.

(49:33):
But this is the kind of haphazard chaos. They're so
concerned about stopping H one B people, about getting rid
of those Indians that they can even get their story straight.
I mean, think about a thirty percent of residents in

(49:53):
hospitals about to become doctors, and you know H one
B thirty percent of them H one B V levels.
H one B fees used to be five thousand dollars. Now,
tell me how many hospitals are going to pay one

(50:15):
hundred thousand dollars now? Put aside, Okay, sissan Anuel, who
all right, that would have killed H one B to zero.
But which hospital is going to have to pay one
hundred thousand dollar fee for a fifty five thousand dollars residency.
That's a salary for a resident. Later on doctors make
a lot of money, but early on they don't. Nobody's

(50:38):
gonna nobody's gonna pay that, So they goes H one
B for doctors. What about universities. If universities are not
exempt from this rule, then they're not gonna hire anybody.
The US contracts a huge percentage of global academic talents.

(50:59):
Without this, it attracts nobody. No university can start, you know,
it's like a signing bonus one hundred thousand dollars maybe
professor the I that ain't happening. Oh, tuition will have
to go up. I mean. And it's like the writers

(51:22):
become obsessed with Indians. It's like, let's go after the Indians,
the H one b's, let's go after them. It's like
after you remember that Vivic, that thing Vivic wrote about
Americans being lazy and not educating, that that tweet, remember
that when he was still part of DOGE and MAGA
flipped out. Well they haven't forgotten it, and it wasn't

(51:44):
just Vivic RT. Suddenly MEGA found itself surrounded by Indians.
Harris part Indian Nikki Haley Indian and of course the
wife of the Vice president Indian. And suddenly you were like, whoa,
we're being taken over by any Let's get rid of them.

(52:04):
It's like, you know, they can't get rid of the Jews,
so let's get rid of the Indians second best, and
just think about think about H one B founders. Right,
I'm just going to read you a few founders of
companies who are H one B who came on H

(52:28):
one B visas to the United States. I'm not going
to read the names, because I can pronounce them most
of them. I'll read you the company names. Zoom founder, who,
Demi co founder, Alphabet CEO, Micron Semiconductors CEO, Microsoft CEO,

(52:49):
h Y Combinator partner, F five CEO, Corsera co founder,
PepsiCo CEO, A former CEO, Newton Nicks founder, Superhuman founder,
app Dynamics founder, light Speed partner, that's a Vince Capital

(53:11):
film bi Systems co founder, an Exception co founder and CEO,
and of course the former Intel chief engineer, and you
could go on and on. I mean, that's just a
partial list. It's just the beginning. It's just the beginning
of people who have gotten h one B's who went

(53:34):
on to have spectacular careers, and you know this is
the kind of hostility that they have now. Elaine Moscow

(53:54):
is unhappy. He tweeted, I will go to war on
this issue. The name in America, along with so many
critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla one, hundreds of other
companies that made America strong is because of h one B.
I didn't mention. Elarn Mosk, take a big step back
and f yourself. Wow in the face. He's saying that

(54:16):
the president of the United States, maybe I will go
to war on this issue, the likes of which you
cannot possibly comprehend. It seems like they backcheck a little
bit on this. As a consequence, maybe you have a
lun Musk flipping out. Maybe something else. I mean, what
they should have called this, somebody suggests. Gott Linsingem suggests

(54:37):
that they call this this quote the off Showing Innovation
US Industries Act of twenty twenty five. This is basically
taking telling global talent you are not welcome here. Go
start your company somewhere else. You are not welcome here.
Go go work for a Chinese company. Don't come to

(54:58):
work for an American company, and in the long run,
you're going to lose a huge number of people. And
it's not just one hundred thousand, it's the attitude we
don't want you unless we decide. We decide, and the

(55:19):
central planners decide, they do an exceptional talent. Exceptional talent
because there is a provision here. Let me just find this.
There is a provision here that the administration can offer
one hundred thousand dollars discount to any person, company, or

(55:42):
industry that he wants. Do you want a visa? You
gotta have the right people in speed dial. You gotta
know the right people. You gotta know who to bribe,
You gotta know whose boots to lick. This is the
provision from the thing. The restriction employers pursuing the subsection

(56:02):
A and B of this section should not apply to
any individual alien, all aliens working for company, or all
aliens working for an industry if the Secretary of Homeland
Security determines in the Secretary's discretion that the hiring of
such aliens to be employed as H one B specialty
occupation workers is in the national interest and does not

(56:26):
pose a threat to security or offer of the United
States so Donald Trump will decide, or in this case,
HSS secretary, very intelligent woman, she'll decide who will get exempt,
who will allow in without. I mean, this isn't just

(56:46):
central planning. This is the worst, most grotesque appeal to
bribery to corruption one can imagine. And this is what
you know, This is what has led me to Trump
is much worse than I thought, and the people around
him are much worse than I thought they would be.

(57:06):
I mean, I told you he would hire a bunch
of mega people, yes, people, but this is worse. These
are people who are bought into this corrupt, disgusting administration,
who willing to sell their souls in order to be
part of the most corrupt administration in American history, and

(57:30):
who are centralizing power in Washington. I mean FDR did
a lot of centralization. Johnson did a lot of centralization.
I mean Bush did with the Homeland Security. But nobody's
ever done it by centralizing around the executive branch, the

(57:52):
power of the executive branch. The way this administration is
doing it, I mean, the aspect of it completely determined
by the mood in which Donald Trump wakes up on
any given morning. Anyway, I mean The reality is, and

(58:20):
there's no question about this, the United States, if anything,
is starving for talent to the extent that we're not
going as fast as we could. We're not going as
fast as we could because we don't have enough H
one bv as the holders. We don't have enough entrepreneurs
coming into this country. We don't have enough skilled workers,

(58:41):
we don't have enough investment, we don't have enough Indians.
I mean, this is out of a paper that was
just published. Getting one extra high skilled work up by
winning an H one B lottery causes a twenty two
percent increase in the probable to give a successful IPO
within five years, a one and a half percentage point

(59:05):
increase in the baseline probability. That's a huge effect. This
is some economists. I mean, this a combination of xenophobia

(59:26):
and racism and central planning and just being dumb, just dumb.
I mean, I said, the right is not smart. They're
not smart. They're not smart Trump, you know. And yeah,
now granted it's only one time, one hundred thousand dollars fee,

(59:49):
it's not repetitive, so the markets do not, you know,
freak out today. Indeed, I don't know what the markets
are thinking. I would be worried if I was all
in in the markets right now. Yeah, banks are tanking.
Sm P five hundred is going through the roof, Nasdaq
is going through the roof. Everything else is going up.

(01:00:12):
Gold is three seven hundred and eighty. The dollars crashing,
is collapsing again. It keeps going down. The dollars in deep,
deep trouble. Bitcoins down. Bitcoin, that's that's unusual. Bitcoins down
despite of the fact that tech stocks are up. I

(01:00:34):
have no idea what's going on financial markets. I don't
get it. I would be selling. I wouldn't be buying
right now, but don't This is not investment advice. Certainly,
don't follow me, all right, Where do we go from here?
That was h one b's corruption. We're gonna keep on

(01:00:55):
the corruption theme. I don't know if you saw this.
This is just just it's it's now. I don't know.
There rumors that Trump meant this post to be a
direct message to Pambondi, his attorney general, and they accidentally

(01:01:21):
sent it out as a post on truth social I
find that hard to believe, but here it is, Pam.
I have reviewed over thirty statements in postings. This is
online like postings saying that essentially quote same old story
as last time. I'll talk no action, nothing is being done.

(01:01:43):
What about Komi, Adam, Shifty Shift, Lichicia, They're all guilty
as hell, but nothing is being done, is going to
be done? Unquote. Then we almost put a Democrat supporting
US attorney in Virginia, where they're really bad Republican past,
a woke rhino who is never going to do his job.

(01:02:04):
That's why two of the worst Democratic senators pushed him
so odd. He even lied to the media and said
he quit and that was and that we had no case.
Now I fired him, and there is a great case,
and many layers and legal pundits say so, Lindsey is
a really good lawyer and likes you a lot. We

(01:02:27):
can delay any longer. It's killing our reputation and credibility.
They impeached me twice and indicted me five times over. Nothing.
Justice must be served now, President JDT. So the President
of the United States is sending a public message. I

(01:02:50):
assume it's public. Assume he meant it to be public,
that he demanding that the Attorney general stopped persecuting his
political opponent. People who he claims went after him. Call
me Adam Schiff, Leticia. It's not clear what Adam Shift did,
something about mortgages or something like that. I mean, this

(01:03:17):
is impeachable. Just this, just this, and nobody cares. Nobody cares.
And of course last week he pushed out at the
bottom of Justice. He pushed the Department under Justice to

(01:03:37):
investigate a state ag who brought a lawsuit against him,
where the judge found him liable to investigate and invented
US attorney who would not authorize charges the ones supported
by facts and evidence. He was fired That US attorney
a Republican. He's the guy who they got right to.

(01:04:00):
The federal prosecutor tasked with pursuing mortgage forward allegations against
Letitia James resigned because he couldn't find any. So he's
pushed out by Trump. I mean, people have been taken
a court and been impeached from public office for far

(01:04:23):
less than this. I mean, this is just stunning. He
instructs his AG to go after specific political enemies.

Speaker 5 (01:04:32):
He names them.

Speaker 1 (01:04:34):
The part of Justice ended an investigation into his borders.
Art did you read this one that about Homan? Let
me find this? Where is it? Oh, I remember it anyway, Homan,
the guy who runs the Immigration ICE. All of that, right, Homan.

(01:04:57):
It turns out that in a single operation last year,
he actually accepted a fifty thousand dollars bribe and they
caught it in a camera. They caught it a camera.
But he's running ICE and he's an important guy, and
he's got to do this stuff. So the Department of

(01:05:18):
Justice earlier this year ended the investigation even though he
was calling a camera taking a fifty thousand dollars cash vibe.
Has he resigned in shame? Has Trump demanded its firing
now that it's public. No, No, the corruption is just
out there. Nobody gives a damn, nobody cares. Nobody cares.

(01:05:46):
It's all just this weekend was revealed. And Trump is
he getting this information about they're doing nothing? Is getting
it from Maga. Maga is saying he's probably getting for
lawa luma. Why isn't Why aren't you going after these people?

(01:06:12):
Whether there's a case on O case go after so anyway,
a Trump appointed prosecutor refused to charge one of Trump's
enemies is now being forced out of office. President is
basically ordering the bottom of justice to charge people with

(01:06:34):
crimes because they offend him. This is the state we're in,
this close to putin and these are huge scandals. Again,
can you imagine a biggest scandal then the head of
Immigration Enforcement taking a bag of cash from an FBI
sting and then having it covered up by the Attorney General.

(01:07:02):
This should be top of the news, It should be everywhere.
Fox News should be covering it NonStop. I'm looking at
the thing. Nothing nothing, nothing about this. Nobody cares, certainly
not Fox News. Nobody cares. I mean, this is where

(01:07:27):
this weekend, it was like, there's never being a president
worse than this guy because he so numbs us to
his craziness that he does things that any other president
would be impeached over. Oh, we'd get into real trouble,
would have to apologize, would have to grovel, would have
to do something, and he can just do it and

(01:07:49):
nothing happens. Zero Ziloch. I don't know anybody even close,
even Bill Clinton teflon president was no way to be
as good as Trump is in this, I mean, all
some other things that happened this weekend. The Pentagon says
it's going to require reporters to pledge they won't gather

(01:08:11):
any information, even unclassified information that hasn't been expressly authorized
for release, and they will revoke the press credentials of
those who do not obate. So the media now either
has to toe the Pentagon's line, in other words, the

(01:08:32):
administration's line, or the press credentials will be taken away
from them. I mean, this is state media. Get rid
of into Pendamedia. They're two buds. It's too much of ahassal.
A Pentagata reporter can never reveal a story the government
doesn't want exposed. But isn't that the whole point of

(01:08:53):
having a reporter? Isn't the whole point of having a
free press? Is the whole power accountable? Now, granted, I'll
be the first to admit the press has done a
lousy job at it, as I said last time, and
they are not holding Trump accountable at all. And by
the way, people came back at me and says, where

(01:09:14):
have you been they've been going a half day for
the last ten years. No, they haven't, not about the
important stuff, not about how bad he really is. I
mean going up a trivial stuff like Ukraino, the phone
called Ukraino or I don't know, the Russia scandal or whatever.
But the real stuff, the corruption, the stupidity, the ignorance,

(01:09:38):
the destructive nature of his policies, and just the fact
that he is such a incompetent buffoon. The fact is
that they have not covered that anywhere near as much
as they should. So we're basically eviserating independent journalism, free journalism.

(01:10:08):
And again nobody seems to give. There's no uproar. Congress
is not coming into session to consider impeachment or consider
something some statement against US. I mean, this is direct
war against free speech, a direct war against the wall

(01:10:28):
of the press, and not even the press seems to
care that much about it. Democrats are nothing of them.
Since one, the Pentagon. The Pentagon has informed also, I
guess last week, over the last few weeks. It just came.

(01:10:51):
Over the last few weeks, the Pentagon has informed European
diplomats that the US is going to partially hold military assistance. Two,
you're thinking Ukraine, no, no to Bolti countries and any
NATO state that borders Russia. I don't know. I'm starting

(01:11:13):
to believe the conspiracy theory that Putin has something over Trump.
This is really weird. The United States is going to
halt or at least slow down or limit its military
assistance to all countries in Europe with a border with Russia.

(01:11:37):
An add to that, and to that, But to add
to that, I'd say the fact that he's doing the
same with Taiwan. Maybe it's not about Putin having something
over Trump. Maybe it's about Trump basically acknowledging or embracing
the idea that Yua belongs to Putin and Asia belongs

(01:12:00):
to She, and he admires and respects them because they
are ultimately strong leaders, respected, admired, and Americas belonged to Trump.
I mean, what's Canada already? Greenland? Canada? I mean he
hasn't made a claim yet to Mexico and Panama and

(01:12:21):
maybe Panama. I mean, are we part of NATO or not?
So US is gonna hold military assistance Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland.
I guess even though Trumpolia said we're going to put
more troops in Poland, maybe Romania. I don't know who

(01:12:45):
he means. Is it any Is it a surprise at all?
Is it a surprise at all that Putin's getting more aggressive?
Not less? The Putin seems to be willing to egg
on the NATO for fight, given Trump's weakness, given trumps surrender. Really,

(01:13:18):
I mean, Trump is basically effectively he's pulling back from
NATO just as Russia is violating NATO's sovereigny. Perfect time,
Perfect time. And then he goes on television and he says,

(01:13:44):
we need to take back the Bagram Air Force in Afghanistan.
I can't believe we let it go. I can't believe
we yet it let it back. We need that. It's
strategically important. And we're talking, we're talking with Afghanistan, We're
talking to him about getting background back it. We should

(01:14:05):
have never given it up. He says, there was no
reason to give it up. Now, who gave it up?
Who gave it up? Just history, just facts. Who gave
it up? Biden? Donald Trump did? Donald Trump is the

(01:14:25):
one who signed a peace deal with the Tully Bomb,
and as part of that peace deal, the United States
guaranteed to evacuate Bagum and hand it over to the
Tully Bomb. I mean, he's nuts. He doesn't know what's
going on. And it's just like he said about power,

(01:14:48):
Who the hell appointed that loser? Well you did, so,
I don't know. We're reinstituting the war because we want
to take background back, because we want an air force
base there. I think we have one in uz Wikistan's
I'm not sure why we need an Afghanistan, but it's

(01:15:10):
just something that has occurred to him. I think somebody
tweeted it, probably or somebody in Nagas said, Hey, what
about that background air Force base? That was That was cool?
That was a cool air force base. I don't know
who knows why this guy does what he does. It
was Trump and Pompeo who negotiated that deal. They're the

(01:15:32):
one who gave it up. Nobody else. Nobody else anyway,
So this was the weekend, right. Trump instructs his AG
to go after specific political enemies. DJ ends an investigation

(01:15:55):
into the borders are Who's caught on camera taking fifty
thousand dollars panting on top brass, threating to expel journalists
to report without clearing it first with them, even unclassified information.
The White House talks about some shady deal that puts
TikTok in the hands of Trump's friends or GIP mega

(01:16:19):
donors talk about again central planning. Trump's cretain bad things
if we don't retake background afospace, We're gonna go back
to Ono. And then, by the way, just in the background,
his most senior counter terrorism official is in a Twitter

(01:16:40):
spat with Laura Luma, and of course you have the
whole h one B fiasco and I haven't even mentioned
kind of the latest development on the tariff stuff in it.
And it just was like, no, this I can't think of.
I couldn't couldn't imagine that. How many months are we in?

(01:17:05):
Nine months in it would be this bad, as bad
as I thought Trump would be. This is as bad,
if not worse, worse, worse than what I thought, worse
than what I thought. And you know me, I thought
it was going to be bad.

Speaker 5 (01:17:22):
All right.

Speaker 1 (01:17:33):
Somebody says, NATO budget increased dramatically since twenty sixteen, so
Trump wasn't all that bad. It turns out that the
NATO budget, I mean, you could attribute it to Trump,
and maybe Trump had something to do with that, but
it turns out NATO budget actually increases. Of the European
contribution to NATO budget actually starts increasing in twenty fourteen,
which is the year that Russia invades Ukraine and they

(01:17:56):
get a bit of a wake up call about the
threat on the eastern side. And you know, so it
starts increasing. Then if you look at the graph, it
doesn't start at twenty sixteen, it starts at twenty fourteen.
But yeah, you know, Trump bullying Europeans to pay more
for their defense is a good thing. It's one of

(01:18:17):
the few good things he's done. I'll take that. I
think it. You know, if you understand what America is
not blood in soil America. If you understand what America is,
then it is the end of America. This president is
the end of a certain type of America, unless there's

(01:18:42):
some big reversal that comes afterwards. Yeah, I don't know
how we go back. I don't know how we go back.
This is the beginning of the United States becoming more
like Russia, more of a Putin style presidency. And in
that sense, he is is the end of America as
we know it as a constitutional country based on a constitution,

(01:19:07):
limited by a constitution, a country of the rule of law.
He's ended that. There's no rule of law in America.
There's the rule of Donald Trump. You want, you want
your deal done, if you grease the wheel, if you
come to his dinners and praise it, he'll approve your emoger.
If you don't, you won't. All the corruption it used

(01:19:31):
to happen is now above board. It used to be
on the board. Now it's above board, and it's on steroids.
So yeah, this is the idea of a rule of law,
the idea of a constitutional government, the idea of limited
government by a constitution. I mean, that's been eroding for

(01:19:51):
a long long time, at least one hundred years. But
this is a seismic change. This is I don't even
pretend anymore. Everybody else up until up until Trumpo this
second term pretended, pretended, all right, some bad news about Argentina.

(01:20:25):
So since the since the failed election in Buenos Aires, Providence,
and look it was it was obviously I mean, Ley
would lose in Buenos Aires, but he lost by a lot,
much more than people expected, much more than he expected,
and he admitted defeat. But since then, confidence in the
Malay regime has plummeted, and the peso has plummeted. The

(01:20:50):
peso has been in free fall. The the Argentinian government
has spent about a billion dollars buyings. A billion dollars
they do not have. I mean they have it because
they've borrowed it from the IMF, trying to buy the
pacers to try to hold up the PACER. But they

(01:21:14):
can't keep doing it. They cannot keep doing it. And
if the PACER continues this, the economy is going to shrink.
And you know that's going to make the next election
next month even worse for me late because he's going
to be fighting bad economic times. Where was a month ago,

(01:21:37):
two months ago, it seemed like everything was going his way.
Now everything is going against them and it looks really,
really really bad, and you know, the US is writing
here to the rescue. At least we'll see, but it
seemingly this is from Jersey sectary invest But it's sad
that it's come to this. You have to you have

(01:22:00):
to assume that they're doing something wrong, and I think
the main thing they're doing wrong is that they're not dollarizing.
Malay should have dollarized. He should have dollarized a lot faster,
and there's some fundamental it would have been even more

(01:22:21):
shock therapy and maybe he can constitutionally, but he should
have found a way to stop printing pesos, just stop
zero printing, which I thought he had done, but obviously
borrowing still lending in pesos. There's still an increase in
the money supply, so we'll see, we'll see. Maybe it's

(01:22:43):
already too late. But this is what the US, This
is what Treasury Secretary wrote today. Argentina is systematically important
US ally in Latin America, and the US Treasury stands
ready to do what it needs within its mandate to
support Argentina. I don't know how this is in and mandate.
It's the US Treasury Secretary anyway. All options for stabilization

(01:23:05):
are on the table. These options may include, but are
not limited to, swap lines. Again, this is these always
to stabilize the paeso, to increase the dollar reserves that
Argentina has, direct currency purchases the US, I guess would
purchase pesos directly and purchases of US dollar denominated government

(01:23:27):
debt from Treasury Exchange Stabilization Fund that would give the
the Argentinian Central Bank dollars with which they would buy
the pesos. Because the best continuous opportunities for private investment
remain expansive and Argentina will be great again, we remain

(01:23:49):
confident the President Malay support for physical discipline and pro
growth reforms are necessary to break Argentina's long history of decline.
My April comments make a commitment to Argentina's people, Argentina's
people and to person Melay Potus and I will meet
with President Malay on Tuesday in Manhattan. More details will

(01:24:10):
be available shortly after the meeting. So a lot of
suspense around this. It's very sad that it came to this,
but the reality is that to fix the mess that
the parona Is made of Argentina over decades and decades
and decades was going to be painful and was going
to take a long time. The sad thing is that
this has come at the worst possible moment when Milay

(01:24:34):
needs legislative support to continue his agenda to get Argentina
on the right footing, and he might not get that
legislative support come October. He needs a massive victory in October,
so it's going to be very, very difficult. Now, you know,

(01:25:01):
Argentina might benefit from your support, But is it right
for American taxpayers to bail out Malaise government? No? Probably not,
probably not all right, Finally you'll be happy. I'm sure
to learn that a number of countries today include over

(01:25:22):
the weekend, and then some additional ones today, including Great Britain,
Oh God, Canada and Australia. I think all recognize the
Palestinian states. The Palestinian officers in those countries are now
going to be embas season and they're going to fly

(01:25:43):
the Palestinian flag. Portugal today also announced that it was
recognizing a Palestinian state. In Italy, where I am Miloney
refuses to recognize the Palestinian state, and as a consequence,
today there were big strikes in Italy, massive demonstrations of

(01:26:05):
tens of thousands of people, you know, rioting in many places,
complete chaos and train services were down. In the center
of Milan there was a massive demonstration. I mean, these
people came more about Palestinian state than it seems anything else.

(01:26:30):
It seems like the number one priority for Europeans is
not reviving in the economy. It's not the fact that
Russia is threatening them on their eastern border. It is
not the fact that they have shrinking populations and they're
having no babies, none of that. It's not the fact
that they have no innovation and that they have very

(01:26:51):
little entrepreneurship. None of that warries. What really wawies, what
really gets Europeans excited right now. Is the idea of
supporting October seventh, is the idea of supporting Tramas, of
supporting genocide, the attempted genocide by Palestinians of israelis That's

(01:27:15):
what gets the juices flowing. That's what gets them excited,
That's what gets them into the streets, That's what gets
them politically active. And incentivize hatred of Issil, hatred of
Jews as it always has in Europe, as it always has.
Nothing gets the juices flowing more than hatred for Jews.

(01:27:40):
And now you've got a whole country, offer them filled
with them. You can hate them all together by hating
the country. It really is, it really is stunning to
see reward reward Palestinians for the worst violence against Jews

(01:28:07):
since the Holocaust, for the worst violence against Israel in
its history. And what do they get? What did Palestinians get?
They get a reward, they get a prize will recognize
the Palestine state. Note that the violence against Israel on
October seventh came from Palestinian state. It was called Gaza,
it had a government Ramas was its government, and it

(01:28:32):
initiated an act of unimaginable violence against Israel. I mean,
the equivalent of what happened on October seventh would be
the killing of over three hundred thousand Europeans in one day,

(01:28:56):
the killing, maiming, the raping, the torturing, the burning, children, women, adults, elderly,
and then taking hostages. I haven't done the math, but
you know it's something like, you know, Europe is three

(01:29:22):
hundred times, right, three hundred times. Oh maybe I'm maybe
I'm wrong. Okay, it's thirty thousand, thirty times. It's thirty
times bigger than Israel, thirty to forty times, thirty five
times bigger than Israel. So not three hundred thousand people,
thirty five forty forty plus thousand people would have died.

(01:29:45):
And then take the three hundred hostages, multiply that by
thirty and you know, you get one hundred and twenty,
you know, twelve thousand people taking hostage, and you get
the proportion. And the Europeans are siding with the butchers.

(01:30:07):
The Europeans are siding with the rapists. The Europeans are
citing with the homicidal, genocidal maniacs of Hamas. And they're
not just citing their passion. They're running through the streets
of their own cities in a destructive orgy. Right. It's yeah,

(01:30:38):
most scary stuff in the world. The world is not healthy.
The world is really really sick right now, really really sick,
and nobody seems to have the antidote. Nobody seems to
have the remedy for the sickness that's being inflicted on
this world. Again, I have a book coming out, Christianity

(01:31:00):
is the West. You want to resurrect the West, have
to destroy Christianity, all right, David says, five hundred million
versus ten. I thought it was more like three fifty
four hundred, but five hundred million, okay, So multiplied the
twelve hundred dead by you know, by fifty. That's how

(01:31:26):
many people would have died if an equivalent event had
happened in Europe. It's unbelievable. The attitude that they are
taking suicidal and unbelievable. All right, let's see that is

(01:31:49):
the news depressing as it is? Sorry, September twenty second, Monday,
it is depressing. David says six Europeans would have died
if it was the equivalent event. How many taken hostage?
We'll get the number in a minute, fifteen thousand something
like that. All right, let's see. I want to remind

(01:32:14):
you that you can continue to ask questions. We're definitely
going into the third hour. This was a long show today,
so you can. Frederick says that making Kelly today, she
said about the Tom Holman fifty thousand dollars in cash,
we do not care, We do not care. Got I

(01:32:36):
should go work for this administration. I could get rich. Right,
you can collect bribes in cash, in cash and making Kelly,
who is a reporter, she's a journalist. She just doesn't care.
She just doesn't care. Hey, anybody want to bribe me,

(01:33:02):
I don't know what for. I'm not doing a pro
Trump show. I'm not doing a pro Christianity show. I
don't care how much you bribe me. Kelly said, he's
a national treasure. So if he was bribe fifty thousand, See,
how can you be a national treasure if you're taking bribes.

(01:33:22):
Just think of the kind of nation where a guy
taking bribes is a national treasure. I can think of
such a nation Russia. I mean, this administration wants to
make and Maga more broadly, and Republicans more broadly, making
Kelly more broadly, wants to make America Russia again or

(01:33:43):
for the first time, wants to turn American into Russia,
the presidency into the presidency like Russia, and the media
into the media like Russia. Subrikasky's getting all excited because
he's looking forward to those Russian bribes. Bribes not bribes.
It's he's fantasizing. All right, what on mind? You You

let's jump in to our questions, and we've got quite
a few of them. Let's start with with our fifty

(01:37:53):
dollars questions, and we'll start with David. David says all
of today's thought leaders. I don't know that any thought
leaders anyway. All of today's thought leaders should read Peacock's
Ominous Parallels and Gray's Thoughts after Liberalism. I don't know
Grace's thoughts after Liberalism. I'll have to check that out.

(01:38:14):
But yes, definitely, and add to that Dim the Dim
hypothesis and objectivism. They just read Land of Peacock. That's
what they should do. But yes, we need, we really,
really really do need to get people reading, you know,

(01:38:35):
reading objectivism, reading real analysis, reading how ideas shape the world,
and how ideas are shaping our world and which ideas,
which ideas are the dangerous ideas, and which ideas are
destructive and which ideas are constructive. We need to move
away from Christianity, an Islam, and Judaism and religion generally.

(01:38:58):
We need to move away from boxism and postmodernism and
the crazy left. We need to embrace the enlightenment. We
need to embrace an objective, reason based morality. We need
embrace capitalism as a political system. And until we do that,
until we start moving in that direction, sore as it
might be, we are really doomed in this country. We

(01:39:22):
are really doomed. We are heading towards an abyss. It
might not be a dark aged kind of abyss, but
an abyss relative to where we could be and where
we should be. It's an abyss, David said John Gray. Yeah,
I know, John Gray. I don't think I know thoughts

(01:39:42):
after liberalism. We'll have to check it out, all right.
Richard was the Lebanon capable of forming a strong, stable
Western Allianed state or were they doomed to be a
porn in proxy conflicts by the tribalism embedded in the constitution.
In the end, they were doing by their own constitution.

(01:40:02):
I think that the constitution, which was to a large
extent imposed on them by the French after World War One,
is what doomed them, and it's what kind of forced
them into this tribalistic mentality. I think they might have
been a chance back when the Constitution was negotiated and

(01:40:24):
put together and to form a real state. That was
a period in which they have the world was relatively secular.
Lebanon in particular was a relatively secular place, particularly be Route,
and there was a really chance to move them in
that direction even more so. And what happened was that

(01:40:44):
the constitution replaced what the constitution elevated tribalism. It's the
whole constitution Lebanon is based on a division of power,
not based on ideas, but a division of power based
on you know what sect you belong to. Sunnis, Shiites, Christians, Drus.

(01:41:09):
Each have a piece of the puzzle. Each have a
political peace. And instead of instead of causing society to
break apart, those to break apart, those separators between the
different tribes. It made the tribes get more established and

(01:41:29):
become a part of the political, social, cultural life of
the Lebanese. So it could have if it had been
done early. But once once that constitution was put in place,
it was just a matter of time. It was just
a matter of what the trigger would be to create
this yeah, really really horrible state of affairs that is

(01:41:54):
Lebanon since the since really the early nineteen seventies, when
the Lebanese Civil War started. Is there any appetite for
a more rational immigration system from either party? Is there

(01:42:18):
any appetite for a more rational immigration system for either party?
Imposed Americans seem to support reform that makes skilled immigration easier,
even among Republicans, but obviously Trump and his administration of violins.

Speaker 4 (01:42:31):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:42:31):
I mean, I don't see any hope. Democrats pretend to
be poor immigration, but they're not really. All they can
do is create chaos on the border. They can't actually
propose a good, sane, proper immigration system, and that's because
the unions won't go for it. The unions will object.
Now the unions are moving more Republicans, so maybe they'll

(01:42:52):
have less of an impact, and certainly Republicans aren't going
to propose it because the reality is, while Republicans support immigration,
the core of the Republican Party, the passion of Republican Party,
the people who are actually out in the streets and
who people who vote in primaries, hate immigration. There is
no issue which are they more passionate about. Now. They

(01:43:14):
claim to just illegal immigration, but that's just a stand
in for all immigration. They despise immigration, and they want
to fight immigration. So I don't see any hope in
an immigration funt unless MAGA is thoroughly squashed. And I
don't see who is going to squash Mega, Who's going

(01:43:34):
to get rid of Mega? So that would be the
only the only way you'd have to have a real
changing of the god in the Republican Party, and there's
no there's no hope in the Democratic Party, David. If
so many politicians are corrupt, isn't it better that we
know a fund where they stand. Trump doesn't hide his misdeeds,

(01:43:57):
He admits to them in public. Yeah, But the consequence
of that is that the public accepts that it stops
caring about corruption. I mean, Putin is completely upfront about
it all. I mean he doesn't admit to killing all
the people that fall out of windows, but you know
he doesn't have to. We all know. The point is

(01:44:19):
nobody cares in ruption, nobody can do anything about it.
So no once once it's gotten to a point where
the corruption is such that it can be out in
the open, that means the country is deturiorated beyond recognition.

(01:44:40):
Because in the past there were shame involved in corruption
and that is gone, completely gone. There's no shame, there's
no embarrassment, and as a consequence, that just elevates and
inspires and supports future corruption, worse corruption, and ultimately kind

(01:45:01):
of the oligarchical system of Russia. I'm convinced that that's
what they really want. Auban, who is the closest we
have in the West to a Putin, that's what they admire.
I mean, the writers mean saying Auban is our model
for a long long time, and I think too many
of us kind of said, oh yeah, but they don't

(01:45:23):
really mean it. Now they mean it, and they want
to turn America into Hungary or Russia, into a system
with a centralized, powerful president with elections, but elections that
rigged to a large extent, or at least rigged in

(01:45:43):
the way that the central power authority controls the media
and therefore controls the narrative, which is what happens in Hungary.
So they still have elections, and they're probably not rigged elections,
but there's no other voice other than the president's voices
in opposition to tries. But the media is got one
hundred percent, one hundred percent behind the leader, and if

(01:46:05):
they're not, they getting into trouble. So it's worse when
politicians feel think that they can bring their corruption out
in need to open because nobody cares anymore. That is

(01:46:26):
much much, much worse. That is a sign of a
culture being eviscerated, be disappearing. Ghops, Richard fifty dollars, Thank you,
Richard three fifty dollars. Questions really appreciate it was Buch
serious about privatizing social security or immigration reform? I know

(01:46:49):
I advocated these things and ran on them, but wasn't
able to pass either in a second term. I think
he was He's something was he He was serious about
the privatizing subsecurity. That sounds a lot better than it was.
It was privatizing a slight sliver of socid security. It
was a small part of sub security. It was very small.

(01:47:09):
It wasn't a major deal. He probably would have wanted
something even bigger than that. Was a serious about immigrational form, Yeah,
I think he was, particularly immigration real form, but the
Republicans in the end bailed on him, and he couldn't
get enough Democrats to support it because Democrats don't support immigration,

(01:47:31):
and too many Republicans opposed it, so he couldn't get
it passed and the same in the end with social security.
The political damage, the political hit the Republicans took for
even talking about it was such that they wouldn't touch it,
even though it's trivial, it was minor, it was little,
it was almost insignificant. All right, let's see, all right,

(01:48:05):
we've got a bunch of we've got a few twenty
dollars questions, and then I'll go to the lower denominations
or a few of those. Harpercampbell. If consciousness isn't physical,
how come people with brain injuries can have completely different
personalities after an accident. The physical damage of the brain
can affect the non physical nature of consciousness. Yes, I

(01:48:27):
mean you can't separate consciousness from the physical world. You
know exactly how they're connected, or how one emerges from
the other, we don't know. We don't know, but there's
no question that they are. There's a deep connection between
the two. And that's why, as you say, if you
hurt the physical part, the non physical is damaged, something changes,

(01:48:54):
something is wrong with it. And indeed, when you enhance
the physical part, you can enhance a so the one
is an expression of the other. You can't This is
why consciousness cannot exist without a body. It's a it's
it's part of the body. It's part of your physical
but it's not physical in and of itself. It's a
feature of the physical. But that's not surprising, right. So

(01:49:21):
it's an emergent property, we think, Right, it's an emergent property.
But it's a property of something. And when you change
that something, what emerges is different. How it's different is
going to be determined by what you created in terms
of your your character and who you are and what
you are and the kind of damage you suffered. It's

(01:49:44):
a it's a it's a the interaction between the two Richard.
Richard said Bernie also poses opposed Bush's immigration bill because
of unions. Did you ever meet Phil Graham? Yeah? I
mean Bernie is very anti immigration, he has said so
he is anti immigration. They left generally is anti immigration

(01:50:07):
because of the unions. Did you ever meet Phil Graham?
I did not. Well, you ever impressed by him or
any politician you met in person. Perhaps they struck you
as genius principle do intelligence, even if they weren't perfect. No,
I've never been impressed by a politician i've met. You know,
I met quite a lot of them, because there was
a period where I used to give a talks to

(01:50:32):
interns at you know, a house at the House, and
I used to meet senators and House members. I've met
Rand Paul, I've met I've met Johnson, I've met God,
I think I met Lee, I've met Phil Graham, i

(01:50:53):
met every cancer. I met a lot of a lot
of House Republicans, lots of them, some of them. I
got in a huge argument with one of the top
House Republicans at the time over dinner that a friend
of mine hosted. He was there, Senator Johnson was there,
a lot of Republican donors were there, and we got
a massive argument because he was going to he was

(01:51:15):
accusing tea Party Republicans of being principled and not being
real and I just flipped and I just went after
him and you know, basically told him that he's the
reason why Republicans don't get anything done, anything good done,
and so on, and he started yelling at me. I
started yelling at him. So I've gone face to face

(01:51:36):
with these guys and I've never met a politician. Now
I have a respect for Phil Graham. Phil Graham's one
of the he was a senator from Texas. Now he's
and he was president of at Texas A and M.
He's written a couple of books that are very good.
And I respect Phil Graham. I mean he's a he's
a good guy, and on economics he's as good as
a conservative can be. He's not perfect, but he's pretty

(01:52:01):
damn good, better than anybody today in Congress. But no,
I mean, really, I don't know that that that genuine.
None of them struck me as genuine, but certainly not principled.
And no, I mean a lot of them are intelligent,
you know that intelligent just war I mean, Josh Hawley's intelligent.

(01:52:24):
Jade Vans is intelligent, don't. I don't value that just
the shoe intelligence that much. It's what you do with
that intelligence that impresses. That doesn't impress me. So no,
not being impressed by any politician I've meant, sadly. I
wish I was. I mean, I mean Melay, but we

(01:52:45):
didn't have much of our conversations, I can't say. And
he was very shy, very unlike his public appearance. Schawsbatt.
This is a quote from Captain Cook. Excuse me, what
does God need with a that's the Trek five. It's
a crappy movie, but always like that line. It is

(01:53:06):
a good line. What does God need with my prayers?
What does God need with my worship? What did God
need with my groveling? I mean, if God was God,
why would he care? Why would he want it? I mean,
what kind of low self esteem does a God have
to have to want you on your knees? What kind
of low self esteem does a God have to have

(01:53:29):
to want to torture you for eternity if you don't
commit your body and soul to him. A sadistic, hollable, disgusting,
awful god, I guess, but not a nice god, not
a not a not a god I would want to
have as a god. I mean, even if God exists,

(01:53:53):
I don't like him. David, here's an idea. Create a
third party and call it the Centrists. A majority of
Americans supports centrist politics. I mean, people have tried. They
tried before the last election. Couldn't get any traction, couldn't
even get anybody to really run. What's his name, Elon

(01:54:15):
Musk threatened to do that. I think it fizzled. I
think it's gone away. He threatened to start his own
party and bank all it and fund the whole thing,
and I think he's back off of it and it's fizzled. Yeah,
I mean, we need a third party in this country.
There's no question the left and the right can merge,

(01:54:36):
woke left, woke right, all the same crap. They can merge,
and you need a third party. You need another party
to represent I think way most Americans are, you know,
but it's hard to tell where most Americans are because
the most Americans, I mean a majority of Americans voted
for Trump. Andrew Trey GILLFK links Tyland all to autism. Yes,

(01:55:01):
so then, and it appears that they're getting wrong a
core distinction in science, mistaking correlation with causation. I don't
know the science behind it, but that sounds about right.
With this administration. I mean, this is just unbelievable. Anything
to distract from the insanity of what RFK is doing.
There's going to be a press conference tomorrow where they're

(01:55:22):
gonna they're gonna announce that the cause of autism is
women in the first months of gestuation taking Thailand all,
and that Thailand al somehow causes autism and other problems
with the infant ADHD and stuff like that. Now, this

(01:55:44):
is based on a study that was published twenty or
thirty years ago that shows some week I emphasized weak
correlation between taking tailand all in this the study has
been looked at for the over and over and over
again for the last twenty years, and doctors have come
repeatedly to view the coalition's spurious coalation that is unrelated

(01:56:06):
to causality. Nobody, as far as I can tell, in
science today, things that talent on causes autism. Under these conditions.
It appears that the study has been thoroughly rebuked. It

(01:56:28):
doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter. Facts, reality, science, those
all Enlightenment values, those are all so old fashioned. We've
gone beyond that. We've gone beyond that. And the reality

(01:56:53):
is that they don't care when iote about science or facts,
and they're just making it up as they want as
they go along. And they'll, you know, I don't remember
who make Styler is Johnson and Johnson. They will they'll
go after the company, a good, unbelievable productive company.

Speaker 4 (01:57:13):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:57:13):
And they'll they'll they're blacklisted like they do, like the
left does, and and so on. H john who is
always always president here in order to accuse me of
making stuff up, says Bonney. Sanders abandoned his support for
anti immigration stands when he decided to run for president.
Just check his website. When he ran for president, he

(01:57:39):
he had a he had an interview with God, the
the the leftist, the the guy who just wrote abundance
on the left. Uh, I forget his name, anyway, the
guy asked him directly about open immigration, about about huge

(01:58:00):
numbers of immigrants, and Bernie was, and I can find
the link, and I can share the link. If anybody
doesn't believe me, it needs evidence of me not making
stuff up, as John would suggest. As a client, Thank
you Ian as a client. He didn't interview with Az
a client. You can find it online. It's easy to find.
And he said, you know, he came out supporting immigration,

(01:58:21):
but not too much because and he said, I've never
been a big supporter of mass migration or open immigration
because because, yeah, I mean, it lowers the wages of
the working class, and and uh and I'm for the
working class. So so look, you can accuse me of
a lot of things, but I don't make stuff up.
I don't make stuff up. And the reality is making

(01:58:43):
a list of all the things that you think I've
made up, and I'll give you sources. I'll give you
references for every single figuring one of them. So you
want to you want to call me a liar, You
want to call me a liar? Then you know you
bring bring it. We get on. I'll debate any one
of you on the accuracy of the things that I say.

(01:59:09):
I'll send you receipts, I'll send you links, I'll send
you studies. It's easy to get on a chat. And
I don't know who this John Davis is, probably will
never meet him, maybe haven't many who knows, But it's
easy anonymously equivalent of anonymously to sit on a chat

(01:59:30):
and say, oh, he's making stuff up. No, Bernie Sanders
is not pro immigration. He's pro more immigration, Yeah, sure,
but he's not pro imgration, not the way I mean
poor immigration. All right, he pissed me off. I guess

(01:59:56):
that's what he wanted. I shouldn't give in to the bastards, Okay, Richard.
What are the most important things when should consider before
having children? What is address advice you received or wish
you had received? God, I don't know it's a tough question.

(02:00:19):
There's a lot you can say about it. I mean,
first you have to realize just the sheer amount of
work that's involved having children is going to be the
biggest commitment you make in your life. You're going to
spend eighteen years with them being your responsibility. That your responsibility.
Like it or not. You signed that contract, you took

(02:00:42):
that on, and that's a huge burden. It's not easy.
You have to remember the children are not computers that
you program. You will not get the child that you
wish to have. They make choices, they decide stuff you don't.

(02:01:10):
You can be the best parent in the world and
your children could come out lousy, can come out horrible.
So that's the realize that the amount of work that
it requires, particularly you know, nobody can prepare you. Just
this is just a fact. And you can delude yourself

(02:01:32):
into thinking you're prepared, but nobody can prepare you for
the first year. It just takes over your life. It's
just overwhelming. You'll work harder than you've ever worked in
your life. You'll sleep less than you've ever slept in
your life, and half the time you won't know if
you're doing right. Or you just won't know. It's really hard,

(02:01:57):
but it's so and you can't be prepared for that.
I mean, let a pikf once said the evolution made
a mistake by requiring one man and one woman to
have a baby. He thought they should I mean he
was joking, but I think you'll get the point. He
thought the babies should be a product of orgies, so

(02:02:20):
that babies required many parents because two people were not
enough to take care of a baby. That's after his
experience with a baby. So I mean a lot of work,
a lot of work, so that you have to realize.

(02:02:43):
On the flip side, the joy is immense. I mean,
if you like this sort of stuff, and I did,
you get to see a human being developed. You get
to see them become human from day one, really from
day one. They're looking around, they're observing, they're sucking in information,

(02:03:08):
and you get to see them make the integrations, make
their inductions that where their first concepts, and how they
do that. It's just so fascinating. They're so cute and
innocent and just you know, thirsty for knowledge, thirsty they

(02:03:30):
just want to know stuff, They want to touch, they
want to feel. They're not rationalists. They don't live in
their head. They live in the world. They use their
feet to touch stuff, they use their hands. There's constantly looking, smelling, tasting,
Everything goes in their mouth. Why they want to taste it,
It's a sense they want to get a sense of
the world. I mean, Observing babies is just one of

(02:03:55):
the most magical, amazing, wonderful, inspiring things you will ever do.
And they're yours and that makes it all the more so.
Having children is just if you engage yourself in that process,
it's just amazing. And then as they grow, they attain
more and more cognitive skills, they become more and more conceptual.

(02:04:19):
You start having these wondrous, fabulous discussions conversations with them,
and of course it's scary because you realize that the
things you're saying have a huge impact on them and
the way you say it, and it's hard there also,
you know they challenge you intellectually but also physically and

(02:04:42):
mentally and psychologically. But it's just a beautiful thing. It's amazing.
And to watch them grow up, to watch them be
successful if they are, to watch them have a life,
becoming dependent human beings, it's just an amazing, beautiful thing. See,
you have to be ready for the wonder and the

(02:05:05):
work the wonder in the work. Read a lot. There's
a lot of good books out there on early childhood, particularly,
but also on how to talk to kids, how to
talk to teenagers. I mean, don't assume you know. You don't.
We don't know anything about raising kids. It's not innate.
It's not like chimpanzees. It's not innate. You have to

(02:05:31):
you have to actually you actually have to do the
work to figure it out, and that requires I think
learning and that case, reading, studying. So I would definitely
get recommendations around what do you call it, different childhood books,

(02:05:52):
guides for that. And there's some good people in objectivism
doing work on this who can probably have book lists
and stuff online and you can probably find it if
you're interested in some references email me. But but but
there's there's the people doing good work. There are a
lot of people in education and objectivism. There are few

(02:06:14):
people in psychology and education. They're the people to really
talk about parenting. Uh and and but but we eat
a lot study don't. Again, I think most parents go
into it just assuming they'll figure it out. And you can.
You can wing it, but if you want to be
good parents, you have to really think about it. You
have to really you have to really really work on it.

(02:06:40):
I love being a father, you know, uh, you know,
particularly when they were young. I found it more difficult
when they were teenagers, but when they were young, I
loved it. It was it was a huge amount of fun,
a huge amount of fun. I love babies. I generally
love little kids. I love seeing that process. I love
that inquisitiveness, even at the preconceptual level. Richard, would you

(02:07:06):
ever consider doing it? I RAN's rules for parents could
include tips on finance, savings and way to navigate common
issues with parenting. God, I'm so removed from that. I mean,
my kids are so grown up now. It would be
hard for me to get into that. You know. I
could interview people about it, I guess, but it would

(02:07:28):
be hard for me to get into that. So I
don't know. I'll think about it. I'll think about it.
Thank you, Richard. Wow, Richards put a lot of money
into the show today. Thank you. Really really appreciated. As
he always does when he shows up. He's a huge supporter.
So three hundred and fifty dollars today Wow, Richard's that's fantastic,

(02:07:48):
thank you, thank you, thank you. All right, let's oh,
I wanted to do some stickers before I answer the
rest of the questions. I sow. Wes came in with
fifty dollars. Danny, thank you, Wes, thank you for the
fifty Jason, thank you. And there's a trig dicotomy and

(02:08:19):
Paul and John and Travis. It was great, Thank you guys,
really appreciate it. There's another one Allen and Mary Eleen
and test Us fifty dollars. Thank you, test Us, really

(02:08:39):
appreciate that. The tom Yeah, being a good fundraising day today,
it was great. Really appreciate the support. Guys, thank you,
thank you, thank you. And Catherine Catherine started us off
in Silvanos of course was there at the beginning. And Kyle,
thank you to all the stick of people. Sorry if
I missed you. I appreciate all of you. Thank you

(02:09:02):
for the support, whatever amount it was, all right, Neil,
what happened to Vincent Galso interview? It will happen after
I get back home. I'll start coordinating interviews. We'll start
interviews in October. I'm traveling a lot in October November
but we'll squeeze them in and definitely in December we'll
have interviews. So the challenge is my time. Liam one

(02:09:27):
hundred thousand dollars H one B is a di program
for American citizens. Will innovation and tech now be completely happened?
And not completely, but it will be happened, There's no question.
Now again, they're gonna give exclusions, They're gonna give all
kinds of stuff like that, So who knows how it
will play out. But yes, this is a bill that reduces,

(02:09:47):
immediately reduces innovation, reduces future economic growth in the United States.
This is an executive order that is destructive. It has
no upside and lots of downside. And you'll see the downside.
You'll see the downside in the stagnation that is coming
in a stagnation we're already living in, but it's gonna

(02:10:07):
get worse, and in the success of China and potentially
other countries around the world that in spite of the
fact that they hampered by their own central planning, at
least I'm not stupid enough to alienate talent. We have
a uniquely stupid administration, uniquely stupid in that it is

(02:10:29):
alienating global talent, the people who've made this country the
success that it is. They alienateing near those people and
we will pay a heavy price for that, and Americans
who support this are just blinded. Richard, what do you
think of Parma Lucky? I saw any interview with him

(02:10:50):
recently and think he seems extremely smart and I love
his Silicon Valley energy and Duell is doing amazing stuff
shaking up Department of Defense percurement. Yes, I highly recommend
if you're interested in the Partner of Defense reading Unit X.
Unit X. It's an excellent book on the Partner of
Defense percorpment, really interesting and tech. Anyway, from what I know,

(02:11:16):
Palmer Lucky seems like a really fascinating guy. He became
he started his first company what he was a teenager,
and he basically built the virtual reality goggles that he
then sold to Facebook. Was basically forced out of Facebook

(02:11:37):
from what I hear, because of his politics, because he
was more right wing than the people more I don't
know exactly in what way right wing, but he wasn't
buying into the left wing stuff that was being advocated
at Facebook at the time, and he was kind of
forced out of it. He was forced out, but because
he had sold the company, he was already a billionaire.

(02:11:58):
He went on to start and he got money from
I think Peter til and others to start Andrew will
but of course he also had money, uh to be
a defense contract. Then he's done phenomenally well at that. Uh.
He's still in his twenties. He's still a young kid,
incredibly smart, incredibly energetic, got a Silicon vallee mentality. I

(02:12:19):
don't know if his politics are the same politics as
a CEO PLANTEA. If they are, then I'd be worried.
But I don't know that, so I don't wanna. I
don't wanna. I don't want to say anything negative. He
seems like a real Silicon value hero and we'll see
what comes of him. But so far, amazing businessman, amazing entrepreneur,

(02:12:43):
one of the one of the greats of this generation.
Certainly I haven't seen any mention of any man. But
you know, Peter Teel's an ie Man fan. Elan Musk
is probably an Iman fan. Uh. Probably everybody there's an
nine Man fan. And then they go on to do
other things, and the question is what do they do
with the Ironman? Ironman fandom? Do they do they then,

(02:13:09):
you know, become Christian nationalists in spite of liking Ironman
like Peter Teo. Peter Teel's a Catholic, committed Catholic. It
seems like committed nationalists now A big fan of JD.
Van's and yet he's an Ironman fan. So what does
it even mean to be an Iman fan? I don't know.

(02:13:30):
Richard is back Unit Actions and chip Wars were great,
Yes they were. Thank you for the recommendations on a
prior show. I appreciate that. What are you reading now
and what are some top books you've read this year?
Oh God, I mean I'm reading right now. Is How
the Scots Made the Modern World. I think that's what
it's called, How the Scots Made the Modern World, which

(02:13:52):
is interesting, it's a little biased, it's interesting. You learn
a lot of history, a lot of history of Scotland
and a lot of history of the impact of Scotland
on the Scottish Enlightenment on the world. And Scottish Enlightenment
played a big, big role in making the world a
better place, as did the Enlightenment overall. I read a

(02:14:13):
really good book on history of business. What was it
called The corporation in the twentieth century, not the twenty first.
That's a different book. In the twentieth century. I can't, unfortunately,
remember the name of the author. I read a really
good book of trade God, but I don't remember the
names of the authors. Again, you'd have to email me

(02:14:35):
to get a list of the books. I'd have to
pull up my audible, which I guess I could do.
I could put up given that you're in for fifty bucks,
what is it? Five hundred bucks? Now I can at
least I can do is pull up audible. Audible. Let's
see library. Since How the Scotts Invented the Modern World

(02:14:59):
by author Homan is what I'm reading right now, almost
finished it. I'm on the final eleven minutes. Let's see
what did where's my library?

Speaker 2 (02:15:12):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (02:15:13):
The m.

Speaker 1 (02:15:15):
That's not what I want. Oh, okay, yeah, I've read.
I've read a lot of books in the Enlightenment. Again,
it's connected to this book I'm writing about Christianity versus
the West, The Corporation and the twentieth Century by Richard
Lynn Gold is brilliant. Just an excellent book. If you've

(02:15:37):
got the patient's a big book. Excellent, excellent book. On
the history of American business. I read A splendid Exchange
about the history of trade by William Bunstein. Excellent, a
brilliant book. Again, there's some stuff that I don't agree with,
but generally good. I read A Strategy of Denial by

(02:16:00):
Bitch Kobe. I don't like it, but he's a senior
person in the Trumpet administration. I want to know what
his farm policy is going to be. Turns out he's
moving away from his arguments in a Strategy of Denial
to something else. I read Civilization by Neil Ferguson. I
was disappointed by that How the World Made the West,

(02:16:21):
which is a leftist book about how there is no
such thing as Western civilization, which is silly, and actually
the book proves the opposite. But it had fascinating facts,
a lot of really interesting facts. And then again I
read a lot of the I live at a lot
of Enlightenment books by the right. Oh. My favorite books

(02:16:45):
of the last couple of years The Closing of the
Western Mind and the Reopening of the Western Mind. The
Closing of the Western Mind and the Reopening of the
Western Mind. If you're interested in intellectual history, those two

(02:17:08):
great books, not just good books, great books, and really
a a foundation for well, not a foundation, I mean
they firmed and solidified my disdain for Christianity. And this
is a well known historian. They're really good. They're really

(02:17:31):
really good. Anyway, those are some of the books. Let's you.
Richard also asked, I have to read how the Scots
made them modern world. The author, author Whoman, wrote an
amazing book called Freedom's Four Gs but the Private Sector's
World in World War Two. Human also wrote a great
biography Douglas Macarthy. His best book, his best book, a

(02:17:53):
brilliant book. For this, he will go to heaven just
for this. Is The Cave and the which I've read
twice now, which is just brilliant. You've got if you
haven't read The Cave in the Light, Richard, Before the
Scots made the modern world much more important and much better.
Is The Cave and the Light by author Hermann, which

(02:18:15):
is the story of Western civilization taught explained through the
Prison of the Batter between Aristotle and Plato, which is
exactly on Rand's points about history, and Hermann makes it real,
makes her generalized point with some examples he fleshes out

(02:18:35):
and he actually cites I ran that is, he's got
a section of small a couple of paragraphs on I
ran in the book so really really really really really good.
So Cave in the Light. If you haven't read that,
that is a must for anybody interested in intellectual history
again before Scots made the modern world, the Cave and

(02:18:56):
the Light, that would be, together with the opening and
the closing of the Western Mind, at the top of
my list to read on intellectual history. Richard must must
have gotten a raise at his it is at work,

(02:19:16):
working at a law firm. I really really appreciate all
the support Richard. Thank you. I don't I don't think
he's made of money. Richard works hard for his money.
He's a self made lawyer and he's getting married soon,
so hopefully he's saving some money for that. He's not
spending at all on the Iran bookshow. All right, Silvano's

(02:19:37):
given that you've what you've said about the low about
how bad this administration has been so far, would you
care to speculate on some bad things the Haverst administration
might have done. There was so terrible. I heard so
many people excuse Trump despite the liberals. God, I mean,
that's a hard one. You have to put yourself in

(02:19:57):
a different frame of mind. Sure, and she'd have I've
been terrible in Israel. She would have been you know,
Trump has not been great on Israel, but he's been
good on Israel. And she would have been terrible in
Israel and hampered any efforts to defeat Ramas. She would
have been much worse than Biden enforced Israel. I think

(02:20:19):
ultimately negotiate a deal with Hamas, which would have really
done harm to Israel over the long run. Taxes would
have gone up. You probably would have had this latest
tax continuation of the taxes from Trump's first term. I

(02:20:41):
don't think she would have allowed it all to go
up to go away, but I think the corp of
tax would have gone up from twenty one percent maybe
twenty seven eight percent, But the personal taxes, particularly for
the high owners, would have gone up. There would have
been proposals, whether they could have passed or not, how
to tell to raise taxes underwealthy even more. They might

(02:21:03):
have even been proposals for wealth tax, but that's dubious
because it's probably not constitutional. What else would she have
done really really bad? I mean she would well, I
mean she would have been better on Ukraine than Trump spending.
I mean that depends on who would have won the

(02:21:24):
housand Senate. I mean, as you remember, my argument was
vote Republican House and Senate and vote for you know,
don't vote for Trump for president. So if you had
a Republican House and Senate, I believe spending would actually
be lower than it is under Trump, and deficits would
be lower under Trump because you'd get more tax revenue

(02:21:45):
and less spending. What else would she have done that's bad?
Oh anti trust, well to trust bad under Trump as well? Oh, environmentalism,
the environmentalist agenda would have gotten a huge boost. Uh.
You know, even though I think she would have continued
Biden's policy of allowing drilling. I mean Biden ultimately was

(02:22:09):
allowed a lot of drilling. She would have continued that
I think we we and he had somebody John Davis
can tell me I'm full of it, but this is fact.

Speaker 5 (02:22:18):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (02:22:19):
More was drilled in the United States under under Biden
than at any point in human in American history, and
more than today because it's gone down because the price
has come down, less incentives to drill. I think those
are those are the biggies, right, in front policy. Israel
would have been a big, big deal. She would have
been tough on China than Trump and tough on Russia

(02:22:42):
than Trump. She would have been tough bad on Israel,
god uh. And on domestic policy, tellbone, regulation, tellboon, banking,
tellblon energy, not so bad. On tax and spend, not

(02:23:05):
so bad on taxing spent And given how much with spending,
taxes have to go up at some point, you might
as well recognize that. Now. So that's some of the things.
But I'll give you this, she would have I don't
think she would have been as outrageously anti the rule

(02:23:25):
of law as Trump is. Andrew some religious adults become
serious about it as adults after formative years. Imagine the
damaged religious premisses can do to intelligence, precarious, precocious children,
the more egregious premises. The body is evil, abhorred. Yes,

(02:23:46):
and you can see that people struggle with getting rid
of the horrible religious premisses their whole life. They struggle
to get rid of those premisses that they were taught
when they were children. Religion is really, really, really destructive
to human individuals, particularly the children. Remo. I visited the

(02:24:07):
Thorbertson Museum yesterday in the Glyptotech the day before yesterday.
It was amazing. Thanks for the recommendation, my pleasure. They
are amazing. Both museums are amazing, particularly the Glyptotech. Thobton
is good. He's a little too new classic neoclassical for me,
but yes, he's still amazing relative to almost anything else.

(02:24:27):
REMO positive topic idea dedicating a show to one of
your greatest, non objectivest heroes like Steve Job or Mike Mulkin.
I am dying for a positive show. I'm gonna do
a member's only show on a Florence, a great city
and its history, so and with slides with with pictures.
So yeah, I mean, don't don't give up on I

(02:24:54):
will do more positive shows primarily for the for the members.
So here's your encouragement to become a become a member.
I think I've given all my free I've gifted all
my free memberships that I could not to a jogo
with in Part one because of our mixed economies. Don't

(02:25:15):
you have an underlying understand Don't you have an underlying
understanding of what the good is? It's easy for us
to lurch in evil directions, as we've seen with Mega Phenomena,
but due to the fact that there is so much
good in our societies, it's hard for evil to sustain itself,
as opposed to nineteen twenties in Germany, where the culture
is evil to its core. I think that's probably true.

(02:25:37):
But we will see. It's it's going to be tough.
It's going to be hard to sustain the kind of
damage that we're seeing right now this country, blow aftter
blow after blow sustain, but we will see. I hope
you're right. Roland says, I think Christiani Versus the West
is a perfect title. Very much looking forward to it. Yep.

(02:26:00):
I think, yeah, I'm excited about it. It's going to
take a while. Look, you know, we're still we're still
they're still writing to do quite a bit. I think
editing and writing, and then there's to find finding a
publisher and finalizing it all and getting unpublished, and all
of that says a while to go. I feel a

(02:26:20):
sense of urgency right now. When Equals Unfair came out,
it was the perfect timing, except then Donald Trump ran
for president and nobody was talking about inequality of Everybody
was talking about Donald Trump. So it came out election
year twenty sixteen. In the fall. I'm hoping this year
the issue of Christianity is going to stay hot for

(02:26:43):
a long time, and it'll be the right book for
the right time, and it will resonate at the very
least with the remnants of the New Atheist. But we
will see, we will see, James, what are the advantages
and disadvantages of having discovered objectives so early in mankind's history? Well,
I mean, the earlier you discover it, the less prepared

(02:27:05):
people are for it. We're still a very young species,
particularly when you take into account that we've only discovered
what we are recently. And even though we discovered it
maybe twenty five hundred years ago, we forgot it for
a long time thanks to Christianity to the large extent,
and were only were kindling that knowledge now. So it's

(02:27:29):
it's it's it's it's hard to it's hard to for
I mean, I think Atlanta Peacock said, we're just too
young of a species for this for this philosophy. Still,
we still still need more knowledge, more integration, more experience
with the world for this philosophy, James, if they're left,

(02:27:53):
so if they'll lift is so much moder than the right,
as you claim, Why do they keep losing elections? Because
if feet is untenable for most Americans, because the idea
is untenable. It's not about smart, it's not about applying
it to elections. But they are. They're just they're just
better at math, the better at science, the better at
starting companies, the better at doing programming, the better at

(02:28:17):
the at the at the skills of the mind, those
time to be those tend to be leftists, and you know,
the intellectuals will corrupt, Like look, imn O. Cons was really, really,
really smart, probably a genius, but he was evil. So
the fact that you're intelligent does not the fact it's
just smart, does not mean that you're good, and does

(02:28:41):
not mean that you're right, and does not mean that
you know how to win elections. Cook a few years
ago Charlie Cook completely one hundred and eighty in his
view on the separation of church and state, saying that
the separation was a fabrication. Yeah, I mean a few
years ago Charlie Cook did a huge one hundred and

(02:29:03):
eighty on a lot of things, capitalism for example, and yeah,
I mean he became a Trumpist, and he adopted Christian
nationalism in a sense over the years. And that's why
I said Charlie Cook's ideas were really really bad. They
had been better and were becoming worse. Michael, should people

(02:29:28):
celebrating Charlie Cook's more to be fired? What if they're
highly productive employees? Well, I mean, yeah, it depends on
who they are. But generally, do you want to work
with somebody who thinks that killing is a way to
his old disputes? No? I don't, So yes, I think
they should be fired. I don't want to work with
people who think that it's okay to kill somebody for

(02:29:50):
his views. So I would fire them even if they
were productive. Find you find somebody else productive who's not.
But that's the problem when, as I said before, the
smart people also the leftists. That's not good. The productive
people also the leftist. Yeah, I mean, for example, Jennifer

(02:30:12):
says he was PROTEP. Charlie definitely was pro free trade,
you know eight years ago noney more not any more.
He became pro Towerist. How did that happen? Corruption of
the mind, Liam, Every day of your life is a

(02:30:33):
page in a history book that will never get written. Probably,
but yes, Liam says, people with nothing will help you
lose nothing everything. Yes, you do. You don't want people
with nothing unless say children, then it's okay, Then it's good.
P Gupta discussed disgusting at the wife for proclaiming forgiveness,

(02:30:57):
disgusted at the waye for progaming for goodness. I agree.
I was mad for longer my vegetarian, when my at
my vegetarian, my god vegetarian, my veterinarian, when my pet
dog died because of wrong diagnosis. Yeah, I know, I

(02:31:18):
think these I don't understand forgiveness, the whole idea of
forgiveness without something to cause you to forgive, without somebody
admitting their mistake and showing remorse and compensating for the damage,
there is no forgiveness, anonymous user. Isn't this visa reform

(02:31:38):
just going to encourage illegal immigration all the legal ways
of fading away? What it really encourages people to work
from outside the country, to go work for foreign companies
or to work for American companies, but not in their
offices in America. You know, five years so now you
might see or maybe next year you might see open

(02:31:58):
AI move its research division to run to Vancouver, Canada,
because in Vancouver, Canada, it will be able to hire
a talent from all over the world, and in Silicon
Valley it camped. That's what will happen. Companies will move

(02:32:21):
their important functions outside of the United States. Henry Elon,
I'll go to War of h one b tweet is
from last year before the backlash. Funny he's completely silent?
The be issue now is he? Oh? I got confused

(02:32:41):
by that. Sorry my mistake. I'll check that out. Whether
somebody retweeted that, whether he's he's completely silent now or not,
that would be interesting. Somebody put pressure on the administration
to drop the annual fee and to drop it for
existing workers, So it probably wasn't any alone because his

(02:33:02):
influence within this administration's fading proper. Do you think the
Supreme Court needs to act faster and blocking a lot
of the Trump admins unconstitutional insanity? I would like to
see them do it, yes, much faster, but I don't
think they will. I think they're going to take their time,
and I'm not sure they'll block at all. We'll see,

(02:33:23):
we'll know soon enough. They'll hear their tariff's case in
November and then we'll see from there, Kim. With all
the insanity going on, how are stocks still going up?
Good question? Stock markets often you know, see well a

(02:33:44):
few things. One stock market represent a fraction of the economy,
the most productive companies in the economy, but only some companies.
Much of the stock market is being driven right now
by tech stocks. The the smaller companies have not done
that well, not nearly as well as tech stocks. Stock

(02:34:05):
prices a driven by loge extent expectations about interest rates
interstates expected to go down. Stock market likes that when
interestates go down, asterid prices go up. Everything else constant,
and they believe that this massive investment in AI is
going to generate real productivity increases in these companies. Whether

(02:34:27):
an economy as a whole is hard to tell, but
the stock market can be very wrong. The stock Parkert
was going up significantly up all the way until we
hit a brick wall with a financial crisis, and then
it went down a lot and fast. So I don't

(02:34:48):
know how to time the market. But would I be
surprised by a big downward move in the stock market
in the next couple of years, No, I would not.
I just don't know when it's going to happ happen.
I a lot of what's happening in Stockland right now
doesn't completely make sense to me. It represents immense optimism.

(02:35:09):
The multiples these some of these stocks are trading at
are the multiples of the of the dot com bubble.
But you know, bitcoins at over one hundred thousand, what
do I know? People are willing to buy it? Bye
bye bye. People have a lot of money, That's one thing.
There is a lot of money out there, a lot

(02:35:30):
of money slushing around, and part of a lot of
that money, this is the money the Fit's created over
the last fifteen years. A lot of that money is
going into stocks. You can't there only so much stuff
you can buy with that money. We have our basics
taking care of so the money goes into housing and
it goes into stocks. It's not the only reason housing

(02:35:53):
is going up, but it certainly is one reason. Long term.
What's the greater threat to you Christianity Islam? It's not
even close. Christianity is much bigger threat. That is. Christianity's
going to take care of Islam. I've said this over
and over and over again. You saw the march in London,
recently you saw how reform is being successful. Reform is

(02:36:14):
going to do what they can to crush the influence
of Islam in Germany. Islam is going to be crushed
by future governments. In France, Lapen is coming to power,
and when she comes to power, she will crush the
influence of Islam. And once the influence of Islam has gone,
or what are we left with? We're left with Christian nationalism.

(02:36:36):
Islam will never take over the West, but Christianity might.
Islam is a foreign element which the West will reject.
Christianity they think is part of them, they think it's

(02:36:57):
what they are. They think that the West is Christian state,
will embrace it. The result is not the same. Islam
right now is worse. But Christianity in its form, in
the form that Putin and Oban and the these Catholics,
the Integralists in America and UH and elsewhere, take it

(02:37:20):
that Christianity is a disaster for Western civilization. It's the
it's the decline and and the you know, Western civilization receding, receding.
Why am I giving credence that I'm saying Christianity is
worse than Islam? And she says no, I must become

(02:37:44):
a Christian to fight Islam. My book, the book, the
New Book with Donald Watkins is based in answer to
I in Hersili. It's basically taking her on and saying, oh, no,
Western civilization is not Christianity, and Christianity is never the
answer for these things. Now, Oh in that sense, yeah,

(02:38:10):
But I don't think you need Christianity to fight a Slam.
I think Western civilization, enlagment values a much better way
to fight a Slam, a much better way to fight Islam,
and not not sulfer Christian theology or dark ages for it.

(02:38:31):
I don't know they will go dark agis, but you know,
the authoritarianism Christian theoritarians form. The best way to fight
Slam is with Western values, that is, with reason, with
self interest, with individual rights, with science. That's the way
you fight a Slam, and by kicking them out if
you need to. I have no problem with kicking them out.
You don't need Christianity for that. You just need that

(02:38:51):
balls for that, and you don't need Christianity to have balls,
Bunny says three. Eliminating Gaza City today by hamas where's
the idef It's not everywhere, and it hasn't occupied Gaza
City yet. And look, you know, even when it occupies,

(02:39:13):
it's a big space. And uh Hamas is in tunnels
and in alleyways and under the rubble. And yeah, it's
it's it's tough, it's difficult. Equal is unequal to reality.
As a brit I'm ashamed and disgusted by this. It's
just evil. Clearly the Nazis one in Europe just eighty

(02:39:36):
years later. I don't know what we're talking about, which
which thing did I say that we're talking about God,
I can't remember what I said about Britain that we're discussing.
I must have said something, sorry, equal to reality, I

(02:39:58):
can't remember and paraphrasing rand Oh, Palestine, I see the
recognition of Palestine. Thank you to the reality. You're right,
I mean, the Nazis haven't won, but bad guys have won.
Other bad guys are not all the bad guys in
the world the Nazis. Other bad guys have won, Andrew says,
paraphrasing Ran. One of the major horrible psychological consequences of

(02:40:20):
accepting altruism is the renunciation of one self esteem. Absolutely
altruism is the rejection of self esteem it's a rejection
of your value, your esteem, Jasper, do you think if
put in the same position as Israel, that Russia or
China would have won the war against Kamas by now

(02:40:41):
considering that they aren't just constrained by just war theory, Yes,
no question, they would have won it easily, quickly, thoroughly.
It would be over a long time ago, and there
would be a lot fewer protests and you know, a
lot fewer people complaining about it. John, do you receive
money for you from your role with the I AARI?

(02:41:04):
Is your show in any way supported by AOI? Yeah,
you know it's supported by AOI. They're one of the sponsors.
They're a sponsor of the show. So they give a
little bit of money for me to advertise the different
things on the show. So I advertise right now, I
ran live, I've advertised open conferences, of advertised other conferences.
So me advertising. They pay me the same exact same

(02:41:27):
amount of money that my other advertisers alex Epstein and
Handershot Wealth. They pay me the exact same thing on
a monthly basis to advertise their programs. Other than that,
AOI does not pay for anything regarding the show. They
pay me when I speak. When I go and speak
for them, they pay me. They pay me when I

(02:41:49):
teach for them, They pay me when I consult for them.
So I do work for AOI, but the show is
not an AOI show, although they do advertise on the
show as you can. I'm pretty open about Kim. I
heard Christian YouTubers say that the Enlightenment was actually in
the Dark Ages and the Enlightenment was actually bad for society.

(02:42:10):
I left, Yeah, somebody should parachute the bastard into the
Dark Ages and let him see what he thinks of that.
I mean, everybody who wants twelve to twenty should get
twelve twenty. They should be a country somewhere where they
have to live based on the Dark Ages, because that's
what they believe in. It's so disgusting, it's so corrupt,

(02:42:30):
it's so irrational, it's so antihistorical, and it's exactly why
I wrote the book. This is exactly what the book
is supposed to counter. Marius says, have you ever considered
multi streaming and other platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Twitch.
I do already. I multi stream on YouTube x Facebook,

(02:43:01):
two Facebook channels, I haven't figured out how to stream
on TikTok and Instagram simultaneously. If I could figure it out,
if somebody could show me how to do it, I
would do it in a second. And I know nothing
about Twitch. I have no idea how to do it
on Twitch. But yeah, if I could stream on those
other platforms, I would. So I use restream as the

(02:43:24):
platform that restreams and if those are available there. I
see twitches here, but I don't have a Twitch account.
Oh TikTok Live is here, so I could. I could
sertainly do TikTok anyway, I will add those Thanks for
pointing that out. No reason not to. Since I use Restream,
I can restream to as many platforms as I want.

(02:43:47):
Is it worth getting a Twitch channel? Mary Ellen, ABC
will return Jimmy Kimmel Show to the air tomorrow. Looks
like free speech related. That is amazing. If that is true,
Thank you, Mary Ellen. That is just amazing. That is
good news. Now because I like Jimmy Kimmel, I hate him,
I despise him. But if it's basically Disney standing up

(02:44:09):
to the Trump administration at the MAGA and that is
very cool, I am hugely supportive of that move, all Volta,
how long are you staying in Italy? I'll I leave tomorrow,
but I've been here three abin here four weeks. I've

(02:44:29):
been here four weeks, and I leave tomorrow for Spain
for three days and on back home on Friday. David,
how close were you with John Ridpath? I discovered him
recently on YouTube. I was fairly close to John, not
very close, fairly close to John. I knew John for
many years. We talked regularly. It was on my board

(02:44:52):
for long a long time, until unfortunately his health did
not allow for it anymore. But yeah, I I knew
John from before I became CEO of the Iron institutent.
I got to know him really pretty well when I
was CEO of the Iron Institute. He was we were friends,
and he was a supporter of what I was doing.

(02:45:12):
And yeah, I was a good guy, a good guy,
and and yeah, good speaker. So I'm glad you discovered
him on YouTube. Andrew, in gifted class in third grade,
they had us blindfold ourselves to pretend to feel what
it was like to be blind. I remember that night,
raked with guilt from my sight only in an altruistic culture. Yeah,

(02:45:34):
I mean that is horrible. I mean it might be
interesting to have that experience, but not in the context
of guilt, not in the context of feel sorry for
these people, in the context of broadening your horizons, but
but not not more than that. Linda, how the Scots

(02:45:55):
invented is now on my kindle. Thanks, thank you. Constantine
Kissing quoted Rand in his last video positively negatively. What
did he say? I didn't see that, Neo. Should there
be a rule in politics where if you want to
join you have to be pro West and to have
rejected their own philosophy? No, I mean political parties can

(02:46:24):
create whatever rules they want, and it would be great
if there was a Western civilization party that had that
as a rule. But no, I don't think in politics
you'd have to do that. I think that in a
proper constitutional government, in order to vote, you would have
to express at least knowledge of what Western civilities, what

(02:46:50):
the system of government was. But I don't know that
you'd have to acquire knowledge of Western civilization. I like numbers.
Thoughts on destiny being demonetized on YouTube. I have no
thoughts on it because I don't really know why they
demonetized them, So it's a really a question of why

(02:47:12):
they did it. But YouTube is a private company. They
can do whatever they want. They can demonetize me. I
am incredibly thankful to YouTube. Whether it's right decision or
wrong decision, I don't know because I don't know the facts.
I know that legally and morally they have every right
to do what they want. But the question is, wasn't

(02:47:37):
just And I don't know the answer to that because
I need to know what happened, so I will look
into it. Thanks for pointing it out, friend Happa, thank
you for the stick up. Guys. You incredibly generous today,
particularly Richard and David. Thank you guys. That was incredible.
And I will there will be no probably no, well

(02:47:57):
no so tomorrow for sure, and no so Thursday and
Friday for sure. Maybe maybe I'll be able to do
a show Wednesday from my hotel room in Madrid. Wednesday,
I'm going to the opera. I'm going to see Othello
by Verdie, one of my favorites, So we're going to
see that in Madrid. And then Friday, I'm flying home,

(02:48:18):
so I'll be on a plane and then definitely there's
a show on Saturday. We'll have an am AM on Saturday,
So anybody wants to participate live on video, you should
get an email and if you make a twenty five
dollars contribution, sign up on a Patreon for twenty five
dollars on PayPal for twenty five dollars, you will get invited.

(02:48:38):
So you've got a few days to do that. Twenty
five dollars on a Patreon or PayPal and you will
get invited. And I'll see you Saturday, probably do a
show Saturday, maybe Sunday, and then next week will be
normal until I travel again, which is soon. October is
going to be a mess. I'm going to be in
and out constantly, and it's going to be as the

(02:49:00):
traveling is not gonna be fun. I'm gonna be doing
fun stuff, but the traveling is not gonna be fun.
All right, guys, I will see you all on Saturday,
maybe before, but certainly on Saturday. Bye everybody, and thank you,
thank you, thank you. You guys are incredibly generous today
and yeah, bye,
