Speaker 1 (00:03):
A lot of the fund, the missles, I'll lead the
last seas and any individual loss. This is the show.
Oh right, everybody walk up here on book show on
this Friday, November twenty eighth today, have to think so,

(00:26):
I mean Black Friday. I expect attendants live today on
the show to be down as I'm sure everybody's out
at the mall searching for deals or maybe maybe elbowing
people left and right at best Buy trying to get
that ninety five inch television. There's now one hundred and
twenty six inch television oled my dream TV. Yeah, all right,

(00:56):
it's on time today. Yes, is that surprising? Jennifer says
she's done with Christmas? How can he be done with Christmas?
A month before Christmas? We don't even have the tree
up yet. I don't know. We're late this year. All right,
black fight it is. So let's see what I want

(01:18):
to say. There will be a show tomorrow, and there
will be a show Sunday. Tomorrow is an ama, ask
me anything, so you should receive you should have received
the info on that, you should have received the info
from that, and okay, so tomorrow's ask me anything. Then

(01:39):
Sunday I'm not exactly sure what the topic will be,
but on one of these new maybe unmeaning or on capitalism.
We'll do some capitalism today and or maybe on the
West and religion and civilization and stuff like that, stuff
out of my out of the new book. All right,
So there will be shows and then next week should

(02:01):
be the whole week will have shows. So know wich
Draff syndrome for you guys, for the next couple of months.
You should be good. We should be we should be
you know, full on on on shows over the next
over the next few weeks. All so, let's let's jump
over to the news. On Wednesday, day before Thanksgiving, as

(02:25):
you probably heard, two members of the West Virginia National
Guard who were in patrolling I guess in in Washington,
d C. They were they were shot. They were shot
ambush style. One of them army specialists, Sarah Beckstrom, who
twenty years old, has died from the gunshots. The second

(02:49):
victim has gone undergone surgery and is in critical condition,
and you know, we will see, hopefully, hopefully, hopefully he'sdis
The suspect who for you know, for everything from everything
we know, acted alone, has been identified as Rahamula La

(03:13):
Kanwal who is an Afghan national. We'll get to We'll
get to him in a in a minute. And he
entered the United States in twenty twenty one under the
agreement that Trump signed or the Trump indorsed of uh

(03:37):
and Biden. Trump and Biden of joining American troops and
providing basically asylum to the Afghans who worked with America
in in Afghanistan. Now this guy, it turns out, didn't
just work with America. This guy was part of a
special unit in Afghanistan working closely with the CIA. So

(04:02):
it appears that the suspect was assigned to what was
called the Conda House Strike Force or the Zero three Unit,
one of a number of so called zero units that
were closely with the US and other foreign forces during
the one Afghanistan. You know, so he was, you know,
the zero unit was an Afghan intelligence unit, a power

(04:26):
military force, maybe a force that executed Taliban, work closely
with the CIA. Not a lot of not a lot
of talk about what this unit did, because some people
have labeled these units, these zero units death squads. Right.

(04:47):
They were known in Afghanistan for their secrecy and alleged brutality.
Members were implicated in numerous extra judicial killings of civilians,
particularly during night raids, again all in the auspices of
the CIA. So yeah, I mean this uh this uh,

(05:08):
I supposedly US officials who were you know, disturbed by
the casualties the dis unit inflicted and uh, you know
how to tell and and you know, some indication is
that this particular person, the killer here, was traumatized by

(05:29):
casualties in his unit and troubled by the killing of
a close friend overseas, maybe in in in Afghanistan. It's
how to tell. I mean, information is still coming out slowly,
but again, uh, this is a guy who worked for
the CIA.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
And he worked for them for about eight years, and clearly,
according to officials, at least he suffered from PTSD. The
suspect and his family fled the Taliban and relocated. They
fled the Taliban, they relocated to Kabul, and then they
were transferred to the United States under the Operation Allies

(06:10):
Welcome in twenty twenty one. He entered the United States
under parole program, not through the lengthier special immigration visa process. Again,
I think because of his special status as a CIA operative,
he was vetted. He was vetted during the war, and

(06:34):
supposedly he was you know, screened, screened when he emigrated
into the United States, although there's no it's not clear
whether they just relied on the vetting that was done
when he was added to the CIA, or whether they
screened him separately. Anyway, obviously tragic and hubbable, and we

(07:02):
still have no idea what the motive is. It seems
likely and again I'm going to speculate as other people speculating,
but it seems likely that this is a guy who
is mentally disturbed, who has suffered PTSD. I don't know
who this friend of his who died recently was, but

(07:25):
maybe if somebody feels like the United States abandoned in Afghanistan.
I just don't know, but that's the possibility, and wanted
to vent his anger at the United States. It's also
curious that somebody who was a trained killer and was
part of an execution squad would shoot two National Guard

(07:46):
troops in Washington, d C. In a way that so
easily led to his arrest and capture. It is it
seems it seems a little that seems a little strange.
If he was top of his game, you'd think that
it would be at least being hard to catch him,
and he would have found ways to kill without being

(08:06):
easily identified. But maybe he wanted to be captured. Maybe
that's the whole point. But ultimately I think the bottom
line is everything indicates here, at least initially, this is
very early that this is a you know, mentally deranged PTSD,
A person who's who's clearly suffering, lashed out, didn't care
about being captured or at least expected to be captured,

(08:30):
because he didn't do much in order to prevent himself
from being captured, right, And just a bad guy, you know,
who's become a bad guy as a consequence, probably of
the hell he went through in Afghanistan and is upset
for whatever reason with the United States about something. We
will find out a lot more about what actually motivated

(08:53):
him in the future. But note note the response of
the Trump administration, not in particularly the response to Stephen Miller. Right,
there is no such thing as individuals in Stephen Miller's mind.
There's no such thing as deranged killers. There's no such
thing as unhinged individuals. I need. We saw this a

(09:16):
little bit with the Conservatives, with the killing of Charlie Cook.
It wasn't that he was a you know, horrible human
being who for crazy reasons, you know, decided to go
kill Charlie Cooke. This was the Left. This was that
tribe killing one of our tribe, their tribe killing somebody

(09:39):
from our tribe. They do not have the capacity to
view people as individuals. Everything that they do is in
terms of tribal allegiance, tribal generalizations. So Charlie Cooke was

(10:00):
killed by the Left, and now we're being told that
these two you know, National guards men were killed by Afghans,
or even more broadly, if you really want it, they

(10:21):
were killed by immigrants from third world countries. Immigrants to
third world countries killed, murdered. The Wall Steat Journal editorial
board wrote, Afghan refugees quote shouldn't be blamed for the
violent act of one man. Collect The punishment of all

(10:42):
Afghans in the United States won't make America safer, and
it might embitter more against the United States against the
United States. I agree with the wall Steat general completely.
This is Stephen Miller's response. This is the great lie
of mass immigration. He responded, You're not just inputting individuals,
you're inputting societies. No magic transformation occurs when failed states

(11:06):
across cross borders at scale, migrants and their descendants recreate
the conditions and terrors of their broken homelands. I mean,
this is so ahistorical, it's so untrue, it's so collectivistic

(11:27):
and tribalistic. Afghans in the United States have not recreated
their society. There's no a Taliban running around the streets
and forcing women to cover their faces and shooting up
goals schools. You know, if Afghans were shooting up gold
schools and if there were a number of Afghans, I mean,
this was a phenomena of Afghans going out into the

(11:48):
streets and killing Americans or shooting up girls or forcing
goals to cover their faces, and oh wow, yeah that
makes sense. But there's one guy, clearly emotionally and psychologically unstable,

(12:10):
killing probably a couple of gosma. I mean, did the
Italians who emigrated to the United States. Did they recreate
the poor, you know, immensely Catholic and rather primitive and

(12:31):
backward society that they left in Italy when they came
to the United States, or some of them did the
ones who created them mafia? But did Italians more broadly
do that. I mean, how civilized were the Irish migrants
who came to the United States in the early early

(12:52):
twentieth century, the potato farmers escaping the famine late nineteenth century,
how civil were they? I mean not according to Americans
of the time, who called them every name in the book.
And they weren't free in Ireland. And you know what
freedom did they have in Italy, particularly pre it's in

(13:16):
the Unification. There was no freedom in Italy, not the
kind of freedom we have in the United States. Well,
you know, the Eastern Europeans, the other people who escaped
the Soviet Union, did they being communism here or did
we experience communism in the United States because of them?

(13:38):
And of course, you know, the reality is that it
wasn't the blacks in America who who bought over a
barbaric civilization from Africa. It's the whites who enslaved them
in America, and you know, in forced barbarism on them.

(14:01):
Cs collective guilt, why not, they're all barbarians. Stephen Miller
happens to be, I think, from Jewish origins, so he
should not be surprised that his tribalism, his collectivism his
tribalism collectivism is leading to people who he considers allies
becoming Jew haters, becoming antisemitic, and throwing him in with

(14:23):
a bunch of Jews that he probably doesn't agree with,
like those leftist Jews and maybe pro Israel Jews. I
don't know if he's pro Israel, but he's Jewish. He's
part of the tribe. And the Jews who came here
in the late nineteenth century early twentieth century, how civilized
were they? I mean, the reality is that the Jews
who left Europe in the late nineteenth century and early

(14:45):
twentieth century were the least educated Jews in Europe educated
one state and were slaughtered in the Holocaust. There were
peasants and living in little villages and crafts people and uh,
and and and and they they came from incredibly poor conditions,

(15:07):
and they were escaping murderers, you know, escaping in the
programs in Eastern Europe. And uh, they escaped for freedom.
And did they do well in this country? Yeah? They
kind of did. Did they bring that kind of insular, insular,

(15:27):
kind of somewhat backward culture to the United States for
a little bit, first generation it's hard to break away
from that, but they got assimilated. It's just so. And
what is mass migration is the number of Afghans who
came to the United States because almost all of them,
because they were helping the US in Afganistan. They had

(15:52):
risked their lives, risk the lives of their families to
help the United States because they believed in the cars,
They believed in liber Afghanistan from the barbarity of the Taliban.
These are the best of the Afghans, those people coming
to the United States. Is that count as mass migration
because he writes this is the great lie about of

(16:14):
mass migration. What mass migration ac could from Afghanistan? I mean,
this man, Stephen Miller, is a just a horrific tribal racist.
He is the worst of the Trumpet administration, which is
saying a lot because they are God are they bad.

(16:38):
He is the worst kind of tribalist, collectivist racist that
I know in any kind of leadership position in the
United States today and just despicable. This guy should be
shunned and if he survives the Trump administration, I hope
he never has a job afterwards. I mean, really is

(17:00):
beneath contempt and he is really you know, nasty and shaping.
I mean, Trump is bad to begin with, but then
he's allowing he's allowing Stephen Miller to shape you know,

(17:21):
much of his agenda, particularly when he comes to immigration,
in ugly, horrific ways. Talk about ugly and horrific. This
is Donald Trump's Thanksgiving salutation from yesterday, you know, wishing
Americans Happy Thanksgiving. This is a holiday of giving thanks Giving.

(17:45):
Thanks Donald Trump, a very happy Thanksgiving salutation to all
of the great American citizens and patriots who have been
so nice in allowing our country to be divided, disrupted,
carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at along with
certain other foolish countries throughout the world, for being politically

(18:06):
correct and just playing stupid when it comes to immigration.
You thought you were going to be you know, congratulated
for I don't know, for Thanksgiving and the celebration and
thank you know, thankful for the wonders of American No, no, no,
this is this is all of you Americans, all of

(18:27):
you great Americans who have allowed the country to be
to be you know, divided, disrupted, coved up, murdered, beaten, mugged,
and laughed at, laughed at by who exactly? I mean,
more people are laughing at him. When it comes to immigration.
How many of those great Americans are non immigrants? I
know it's a cliche, but this country is a country

(18:48):
of immigrants. How many of how many of these people
are not how many of you Donald Trump? I mean
Donald Trump is married two immigrants. His current wife's an immigrants.
I think his previous wife is and immigrants. The official

(19:09):
United States foreign population stands at fifty three million people
according to the Census, most of which are unwelfare from
failed nations or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartails.
I mean, that's just straight out a lie. None of
that is true. Now, it is true that almost fifty

(19:31):
percent of Americans receive some benefits from the from the
American government. So yeah, you'd expect some of the immigrants.
And these are fifty three million immigrants. I assume that's
foreign born who live in America. How many of them
are actually from failed states or from prisons? How many

(19:52):
of them are mental institutions, gangs or drug cartels? A tiny, tiny, tiny,
tiny little fraction. But that's the story. We'll get the
lies later. But this president just says stuff over and
over and over again. He said today that ta's are
going to replace the income taxes. I've done the math
for you to show that that's impossible. But he's just

(20:12):
gonna keep saying that. And when the Supme Court overturns
his tariffs, if they overturn his steps, but let's assume
they do, he's gonna say, you know, if they'd let
me keep the tariffs, I would have ended income taxes.
And it's on the Supreme Court. If you complain about
your income taxes, it's all because of the Supreme Court.
I could have I could have ended income tax I

(20:32):
could have had tariffs paid for by foreigners, and America
would have been great again. And because of the Supreme
courte that's not happening. Because he lies so much that
you can you can constantly be like me, constantly say
look that's a lie. Look that doesn't work. Look that's wrong.
Look and it doesn't. It doesn't resonate. The bold lie

(20:54):
is what sticks, it's what holds. And that's a theme.
We'll see other bold lies today that are being expressed
out there. It's just stunning. Here we go, they and
their children are supported through massive payments from patriotic American
citizens who, because of their beautiful hearts, many of whom

(21:14):
whose parents were immigrants, immigrants. Those patriotic American citizens parents
are immigrants. And many of those fifty three million people
who were born outside the United States are also American citizens.
But I guess not patriotic because they don't have the blood.
They don't have many generations, you know, because of the

(21:36):
beautiful hearts, do not want to openly complain or cause
trouble in any way, shape or form. No. And indeed,
patriotic Americans who being here more than one generation, they
never commit crimes. Nope, don't do drugs. They don't consume drugs.
They don't use drugs, and if they do, it's because
of the immigrants. The immigrants are seducing them into it.

(21:56):
And they don't join gangs. And you know, they are peaceful, wonderful,
amazing people. They put up with what has happened to
our country, but it's eating them alive to do so.
A migrant earning thirty thousand with a Green card will
get the fifty thousand in yearly benefits for his family.

(22:19):
How many Green card holders make thirty thousand a year
and fifty thousand in yearly benefits for his family. How
are you calculating that? What about all the Americans who
get fifty thousand in benefits and they've been here many generations,
maybe even their ancestors fought in the Civil War, And
how come they're still getting fifty thousand benefits when they

(22:40):
got all the benefits of living in America and benefiting
from everything that America gave their families. Then he says,
the real migrant population is much higher. Yeah, there are
hundreds of millions of migrants here. You didn't know there's
a fuge burden. How many of the migrants or refugees

(23:00):
He never tells us this. He implies that it's all
of them, the many, more than fifty three million. This
refugee problem burden is leading is the leading cause of
social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after
World War Two. Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, over quitting,
hospital housing shortages, and large deficits. It sounds like the seventies,

(23:23):
except for the deficits, which Trump has contributed enormously to
making larger and larger. By the way, just you know,
the just because some of you might be enthusiastic about
the amount of money that's come in from you know,
from tariffs, from tariffs, right. This Treasury posted its numbers

(23:47):
for October a few days ago, and it turns out
that October was the worst month in all of American
history in terms of the budget deficit. The budget deficit
in the month of October was two hundred and eighty
four point four billion. Two hundred and eighty four point

(24:07):
four billion, now the second highest budget deficit in American history.
Second highest budget deficit in American history was in October
twenty twenty. Hm, I wonder who's president then, Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, Trump,
that's right, and that's the second highest. That's also two

(24:29):
eighty four but point one, so they're almost the same.
Goument's spending in October versus last year October, Goumman spending
jumped to eighteen percent. And you know, so, yes, maybe
revenue is higher, but spending was much higher, much higher.

(24:54):
So deficits deficit are your fault, not im not immigrants
fault and failed schools, high crime, urban decate, overcrowded hospitals.
All of that was the seventies. I don't remember many
asylum seekers. In the seventies, immigration was pretty low, and
maybe there was some asylum seekers on Soviet Union, but

(25:14):
not much more than that. Maybe some Cubans. He goes
on as an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from
Somaya are completely taking over the ones great state of Minnesota,
completely taking it over. I mean, you can't see a
white face in the entire state. Some all the gangs
are roving the streets looking for prey, as our wonderful
people stay locked in their apartments and housing, hoping against

(25:38):
hope that they will be left alone. Connage in the
streets of America. Connage caused by immigrants, always caused by immigrants,
Never by the good people of America, never by those
you know, patriotic white you know, American citizens. They don't
cause any connage. This seriously retarded, the seriously retarded government Minnesota.

(26:00):
This is Thanksgiving message, sus. The retarded governor of a
state in the country, Tim Walls, does nothing, neither through fear,
either through fear and competence of both. While the worst
congresswoman in our country, Ilan Omar's probably right about that,
always wrapped in a swaddling hi job and who probably

(26:20):
came into the United States illegally, and that you are
not allowed to marry your brother. Spreading a rumor about
you know, marrying up anyway, does nothing but hateful coally
complain about our country, it's constitution, how badly she's treated
and her place of origin is a decade and backward
and crime writen nation. True, which is essentially not even

(26:41):
a country for lack of government, military, police, etc. True.
By the way, this is the kind of response that
Trump does that people love. This is why he wins.
This is why Maga goes nuts for him. It's because
he calls at governor of Minnesota retarded, because he goes
after ilon Oma in this in this kind of language,

(27:04):
this is what makes him likable. He's fighting. These are
fighting words, and they love the fighter in him. Even
as we have progressed technologically, he writes, immigration policies eroded
those gains and living conditions for many. I will permanently,
here it goes, I will permanently pause immigration from all

(27:26):
third world countries to allow the US system to fully
recover terminate all of the billions of the millions of
Biden illegal admissions. So no more immigration from third world countries,
including those signed by Sleepy Joe. Biden's out open all
because one guy when nuts. I'm not allowing immigrants from

(27:48):
third world countries. It's going to be very interesting to
see how he defines third world countries. You think Saudi
Arabia will be defined as third World country? Do you
think Katta will be as fined as the third world country?
Do you think Russia will be defined as a third
World country? It's not, but you know it won't be.

(28:09):
So it's going to be really interesting to see how
he defines thill door countries and which countries are not
on that list goes on and on about you know,
these are people incapable of loving our country and all
federal benefits and subsidies to non citizens of our country

(28:30):
de neutralize. Oh yeah, okay, So here are the things
here the people he's going to stop from immigrating to
the country. I'm not immigrant. This is who is going
to remove from the country. I'm going to remove anyone
who is not a net asset to the United States?
Has defined how are you listening to this show? A

(28:51):
net asset to the United States? Am I a net
asset to the United States? Probably not? According to Trump
because that constantly complain about him, I'm obviously doing a
massive disservice to the United States. I mean, how dangerous

(29:11):
is it to give that president the ability to remove
anyone who is not a net asset to the United
States or is incapable of loving our country. How do
you decide that incapable? No free will buys genes, incapable
buys culture. Incapable by is what makes somebody incapable of

(29:32):
loving America? And who who is able to figure out
who that is? So now we're going to have a
loving the country capability school. I think that's a good idea.
Let's have it loving the Country capability school. And which

(29:53):
country the country under Trump the country under some other president.
I mean, if you don't like Trump, that automatically means
you can't love the country. I think he's gonna this
is a good one. You know, sometimes in a whole
string of real evil, he says something right, and all
federal benefits and subsidies to non citizens of our country.

(30:14):
I think that's fine. How about ending all federal benefits
and subsidies to citizens of our country? How about just
ending the welfare state? Probably wouldn't happen here, it gets
even spooky. Um denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, denaturalize

(30:36):
So I mean taking away passports, taking away citizenship, taking
away green cards based on what undermine domestic tranquility. God,
I hope I undermine domestic tranquility. Are you guys tranquil?
I hope not. You should be pissed off right now.
Later you can be tranquil. Now you gotta be pissed off.

(30:59):
I mean, think about power he is taking for himself.
You know. Again, I don't think it's legal what he's
trying arguing to do, but imagine if he had the
power to do this. Really, I like numbers. Really, why
do we have two? You know? I like numbers? Really?

(31:19):
When's you calling for that in Islam? Islamists in Europe?
Did I call for that? Did I call for taking
away this thing because they undermine domestic tranquility? Or that
I clearly defined who I met and why I was
doing it, and clearly defined and I wasn't going to
take this citizenship boy? You know, but put them away
for supporting the enemy. Put them in jail for supporting

(31:43):
the enemy. I mean, you guys are some of you.
And that's just damn dishonest, you know. And I say
stuff and then my woods get twisted in ways that
are just if you can't tell the difference between what
I said about Islamists, not even Muslims, Islamists and why

(32:06):
I said it, and somebody's saying, undermine domestic tranquility, you
can't see the difference between that those two, really, I mean,
what does it mean undermining the domestic situation? It's completely subjective.
It's completely up to King Trump and put Trump. And

(32:29):
then he said and to put any foreign national who
is a public charge, security risk, or non compatible with
Western civilization. The egoget non compatible with Western civilization? What's that?
I've never said that about Islamists. I don't want to
deport them because they're not compatible with Western civilization. I

(32:49):
want to deport them because they're at war with Western civilization,
and not even with Western civilization. They're at war with
the UK, Germany, with America, with specific countries. It's a war.
In a war, you don't allow your ideological enemy to

(33:11):
preach within your country. He's not declaring war, I mean
he is. He's declaming wall all immigrants. And again, how
do you define Western civilization? I mean, many on the
rights today define Western civilization is Christian? White Christian? Does

(33:31):
that make us non Christians enemies of Western civilization? How
about atheists? God atheists? I mean, I'm sure there are
a lot of people on the right, a lot of
people on the right who would consider atheists unequivocally enemies
or non compatible with Western civilization. I mean, Luckily, I

(33:56):
think we have a legal system that is going to
hold in spite of this insanity, in spite of this irrationality,
in spite of this wickedness, wicked, I like the word wicked, wickedness.
He goes on. These goals will be pursued with the
aim of achieving a major reduction in illegal and disruptive populations,

(34:17):
including those admitted through an unauthorized and illegal autopen approval process.
Only reverse migration can fully cure this situation. Yep, send
them all back. That will solve all of America's problems.
I mean, as I told you since twenty fifteen, this
is how he all authoritarians operate. If you're feeling angst,

(34:42):
if you're feeling upset, it's completely justified. Indeed, we need
angst and upset for you to be willing to vote
for an authoritarian like me. But I want to tell
you that the angst and upset that you feel has
nothing to do with anything you did. You are not guilty.
You a great, wonderful, amazing, patriotic, beautiful people. It's all

(35:09):
all your problems, all of your anxieties, all of your challenges,
the coronage in the streets of America, that is all
on the other, on the other. And as I said
in twenty fifteen, maybe we're not quite ready to say
back then that it's the Jews the other. Maybe we're
more ready to say that today, at least in certain

(35:31):
circles on the right. So we'll just you know, so
we can't say the Jew We'll just call it immigrants.
We'll just cover them all. But clearly, the Jews are
anti Western civilization. I think I've got a video on
that coming up, definitely. And now it's not the Jews
who are into Western civilizis. It's some Jews who enter
the Western civilization. According to the CROSSUS, it's the Zionists,

(35:54):
the Zionist and Israel in particular Thesionists. The anti Western
civilization today is going to be a long show, got
a lot to say. All right, well, that that was
the that was the wonderful, you know message. That's the

(36:16):
wonderful message the President Donald Trump conveyed to the nation
yesterday on the wonderful holiday of Thanksgiving. He is my father, nastiest,
if nothing else president. We've ever had, the nastiest and
the most detached from reality. I think even Biden in

(36:41):
his worst episodes of dementia, was not as detached from
reality as as Trump is completely oblivious. I mean, or
it's just all an act. It's hard to tell. It's
hard to tell which one it is. Remove anyone who

(37:01):
is not a net asset to the United States, so
is incapable of loving our country. Now, that is we
should we should that should be like a plaque, we
should have that, you know. Yeah, I mean Republicans are

(37:25):
all expressing, yeah, this is great. Finally somebody's saying this
is amazing. DeSantis and James Woods and you know, James
Wood says anything short of this and America is doomed. Yes,
what's killing America. Immigrants, That's what's killing America. It's not
university professors, it's not ideas, it's immigrants. It's dark skinned

(37:49):
immigrants and disuse. They're the ones killing America. I mean,
jumping on this. They're lovingness, they're lovingness. I mean, La
Luma loves it, loves it. She thinks, you know, she

(38:14):
wishes Trump was a little tough on on Muslims, but
she loves this. You know, a country depends on it.
This doesn't happen. God, country's finished. Just asn't aside. There's
literally no evidence that ilan Oma married her brother. She's

(38:34):
a despicable, hullable, derange human being, but there's no evidence
that she married her brother. But anyway, that's the kind
of level we get. And again, it's the kind of
thing if you lie often enough, people start repeating it,

(38:55):
people start saying it as if it's fact, and it
just becomes part of the culture. It's obvious of course
that yes, of course that's true. Of course that's true. Yeah,
I mean yeah, Andrews says Ben Shapiro. What say you.

(39:18):
My guess is that Ben Shavia will ignore this. H
We'll say something more moderate, right, moll moderate, Here's here's
just an example of your president's my president unfortunately, his attitude.
This is who he is, this is what he is

(39:39):
this is the guy you voted for, right, and this
is it's not just you voted for. This is what
Mega loves about him. He has He has an exchange
that happened in the in the White House relating to
the DC shooting. Trump's you know, somebody says. The reporter says,
officials say the suspect of the DC shooting was vetted

(39:59):
and it came up clean. Trump goes, he went cuckoo,
he went nuts. There was no vetting. Now I think
the first part is true. He was cuckoo and he
went nuts, which is placing the responsibility on the individual.
But then he says there was no vetting, which is
just you know, we don't know if it's true or not.

(40:20):
I don't know all the facts. We'll see. Then the
reporter says, actually, you're Department of Justice IG just reported
that there was thorough vetting of Afghans who were brought
into the United States. So why do you blame Biden?
And this is Trump's response. This is the response of

(40:40):
the President of the United States, a position that Ironmand
had real veneration for. So for those of you who
think that Ironmand would support a Trump, she couldn't even
imagine a president of talking like this to a reporter.
This is what he says to her, right she's standing
right there. He says, are you stupid? Are you a
stupid us? You're just asking questions because you're a stupid person.

(41:14):
I mean, what do you do about that? What do
you do about that? So you know, you know, this
is a president who now says that he's going to
revoke the citizenship for Americans who weren't born here if

(41:36):
he and Stephen Miller, of course, determine that they what
are they they don't love America enough or incapable of
loving America, or that they you know, they are disruptive,
you know, they're just you know, they're they're they're not
compatible with Western civilization. Should I worry? I'm not, but

(42:07):
because we have robust law in this country, and even
Trump couldn't get away with that. But wow, wow, wow,
wow wow. Here's a reality check about crime. Roops, I
shut that off. Okay, I close my Let's see if

(42:28):
I can reopen it one say, yeah, here it is.
The re other about claim is that crime is committed
by most crimes in the United States committed by a
small number of individuals, from any community. It's a tiny

(42:50):
number of individuals who commit violent crimes. Usually it's people
who repeat offenders. If you just had a three strikes
and you're out on violent crimes, three strikes and you
outmeans three strikes and you spend the rest of your
life in jail, crime would be reduced significantly. And we'll
get to some crime statistics later. Crime is reduced significantly.

(43:13):
But that's true an Afghan immigrant population, the number of
people of criminals is tiny. They sum it's probably point
five percent of any given population they're link to most
well of a zero point five percent of residents are
linked to over fifty percent of the shootings in any
particular area. Most homicide suspects. Homicide suspects have eight to

(43:39):
twelve prior arrests, violence clusters. So all of this collectivistic
nonsense is straight up nonsense. What I want to say
about lete. So let me see somewhere here I had

(44:02):
a lead a thing I misplaced it though I think
it was Yeah. There it is from Roe Rocanna, who
was Democratic Democratic House member, right Democratic House member, maybe
even senior uh you know rocan leftist. This is a

(44:30):
tweet of his today. We need smart regulation. There you go,
there's a oxymoron if you have so one. We need
smart regulation, not dumb regulation. We wouldn't want umbation. We
need smart regulation to protect who are we going to protect?
Three and a half million truck drivers and two million
long haul drivers. A high should not be used for

(44:53):
mass layoffs to drive up short term profits with no
productivity gains. There's a biggest sum there. Right, Drivers are
needed for safety, oversight, edge cases, and maintenance. What if
the turns out that driverless trucks are ninety eight percent
safer than trucks with drivers. I wonder what they're going

(45:13):
to do. Then I stand with human over machines. Yes,
humans over machine over short term profits for corporate oligochs.
So yeah, you get Trump on the one side, and
you get this on the other side. I mean, I'm

(45:35):
with Chris Freeman who tweeted and said, why stop there?
Why not ban trucks altogether? Let's just ban trucks, replace
them with bikes and do bike delivery for all this stuff.
Break down all those palettes into little quantities. There's lots
of bikes and that will employ many, many, more than

(45:56):
five point five million people, of millions hundreds of millions
of people. I mean, I think we should abandon tractors
and plows, mechanics, mechanic mechanized plows. We should get rid
of all that science and agriculture and bring back the farmer.
I mean, I mean, think of all those farmers who

(46:18):
lost their jobs. It's just horrible. Let's do it. We
should do a moment of silence for the farmers who
lost their jobs. Every generation is that it's luddites, you know,
there's never it's one thing. There's never a shortage. Job
is leadites, le es. You know, crazy is to the

(46:43):
left of me, craziest to the right. What are we
going to do? What are we going to do? All right,
I want to I'll take our short break. Candid just
remind you that this show is funded through contributions from
you and support from you, in other words, and the

(47:04):
best way to support when you're watching live is value
doing a super chat. And we have targets. We're short
on our one hour target by one hundred and thirty
six dollars, and so please consider jumping in with a question,
particularly if it's a twenty dollars fifty dollars question. That
helps a lot or just to stick out, just to

(47:26):
show you support, and that could be two dollars, five dollars,
any up to five hundred dollars, just so we can
get our targets. Meet our targets for the day, for
the week, for the month. We have targets for all
of that. As Andrews says, this show is on fire
and you should support that fire. And the way you
support a fire is by throwing money into the flames.
Something has to boon, right, So please trade trade and

(47:49):
principle value for value anyway, Let's okay, So Tucker costs
in card, I'm showing you another Techo costs and video.
I couldn't resist because this one, this one is just
so deceptive. It's so targeted at wheeling you in and

(48:16):
making you think he's a good guy and hiding what
he's really about and contradicting everything he believes in, everything
he claims elsewhere, and yet contradicting it in his own
statement that it's just it's a masterclass in how to

(48:38):
lie and deceive and pretend it it's you gotta say,
it's brilliant. It's brilliant, and it's evil. This guy is evil.
But you know, with the exception of the Again, why

(49:00):
anybody takes some seriously I don't know, but I've been
watching this interview he did with Piers Morgan, and Piers
Morgan takes him very seriously, and Pierce Morgan spends a
lot of time with him, and they talk and Techer
calls and spouts absolute nonsense, total bs stuff, and Piers

(49:20):
is not smart enough or knowledgeable enough to go back
at him at anything. There was a whole exchange I watched,
God what, I don't know why I do this to myself,
but I did watch it. I watched. I watched these
things for you. I didn't post it because I don't know.
We could do that one another time. But this was
about Techer costs and complaining about the fact that one

(49:44):
of the reasons birthrates of declining is because of how
many gay people they are like and he said, look biological,
he gaged, don't have kids. So the more gay people
they are in a society, the fewer kids they're going
to be. And this of course freaked out Pismogan and
he didn't know what to say, and he's he's he
has no clue how to respond to that, and he's

(50:06):
saying no, they've always been gay. And Tucker's going, no,
they are many, many more gay people today than they
were in the past. And Piers is saying, no, you know,
people are born gay, so the number of gays is
always constant, but just in the past, you know, so
you know, Tucker doesn't have any answers, you know, any
answer to that, and he saying, no, No, Tucker's saying

(50:26):
today thirty percent of people self identified as gay. That
wasn't true in the past. And Peas is like, yeah,
because in the past they were persecuted, so they hid
in the closet. And Tucker's is, you know, but they
have kids and now they're not having kids, and it's
thirty percent, thirty percent of you know, thirty percent of

(50:47):
people are saying that they're gay and they don't have kids,
and and Piers and and then you know, Teker Cousin
gives Peers Morgan a gift, of course, a gift Pismogan
cannot respec on to Tecker says, you know, in Asian societies,
he says, this can't be genetic because in Asian society
like Japan and South could they don't have gaye or

(51:08):
they don't have thirty percent of the people gain. Now,
why am I saying Peers is an idiot, ignorant idiot,
and that he couldn't even he got handed this on
a silver platter. He got handed this thing on a
silver platter. I mean he could have. He could have
kneeled Tucker calls into the wall, and he let him

(51:31):
get away. Two things. One, what is the percentage of
gaze in America or the UK Western societies? Well, just
chatchip he's here or google it or whatever self identified gaze,
I mean gaze in terms of male homosexuals. I think

(51:51):
it's one point four percent, one point four percent if
you take out LGBTQ plus and everybody who announces the bisexual.
You know, and bisexuals can have kids, so bisexuality is
not an impediment to you know, I'm multiplying. Indeed, nothing is,
because you could do sellrogates, and you could do artificial insemination,

(52:13):
you can do all kinds of things, so you know,
lesbians can have children. But put all of that aside.
Let's pretend none of that exists, all of it, LGBTQ plus,
the whole thing. On a good day, where this is
really hyped and a lot of people want to say
that they're part of that because it's cool. Ten percent,
Max and Tucker can get away. We're saying thirty percent

(52:36):
and nothing nothing ps. Morgan says nothing. Thirty percent is
just that this is this is a theme today. These
people lie, they lie, and they lie and they lie.
And now millions of people who have watched this video,
Attacker calls it now believe that thirty percent of people, okay,

(53:00):
which is not true. You know, it put aside the
issue of if it was too so what, But it's
not just not true. It's just a number that is
just completely nuts. Right. And then then he says, right,
and this is supposedly keeping birth rates down, and because
birth rates are down, civilization's endy. But he says they no,
you know, people in Southeast Asia are not gay. What

(53:24):
are birthrates in Southeast Asia like South Korea and Japan
and China. And let's assume that no gay people over there.
I mean, he just contradicted himself. So we've got low
birth rates with no gay people, which means the low

(53:44):
birth rates can't be caused by gay people. There's no
relationship between the two. There must be something else, some
other cause. Of relationship, some other relationship other than so.

(54:04):
In South Korea and Japan, the reason low the existence
of low both rates are I don't know whatever reason
people give. But in the United States and the UK
it's gay people. I mean, the guy is just unhinged,
but he lies. It's not that he doesn't know the data.

(54:26):
He does. He's smart. So he's just basically just trying
to what I mean, you can come up with all

(54:47):
the reasons you want. Cost of living, push social skills,
you know, expectations, cost of living is BS that has
nothing to do with it. But okay, I mean Japan
and South Korea have way lower birth rates than the US.
No gay people according to Tucka. I don't know what
the stats about gay people in South Korea. I don't

(55:08):
really care. But according to Teca, no gay people, and
how do they have a little birthrates. Maybe maybe there's
another reason, Maybe something else is going on. Maybe there's
some cultural phenomena that is that is disencouraging or causes
people not to have kids, or dissuade people who have kids,
disincentivizers kids. Maybe it's maybe it's cost of living, which

(55:30):
I don't think. Maybe it's poor social maybe it's a
culture of pessimism. Maybe it's people like Taka talking all
this nonsense. Maybe it's a fear of immigrants, or fear
of climate change, or it's fear when you live in
fear who wants kids. Maybe maybe maybe it's bad ideas,
bad philosophy. Maybe it's women discovering there's a whole world

(55:50):
out there beyond having kids and wanting to wanting to
experience that world, and maybe not having kids and instead
of experiencing that. Maybe I don't know, a lot of
things could be happening. But this is Piers Morgan. He's
supposed to be like the top end of you in

(56:11):
the world. Right, He's like and he can't catch Techerkauson
on that. I mean that level of stupidity. Anyway. Here's
another Techo Casson one. So sorry, that was a I
don't know, I'm just gonna talk today. It seems like
no questions from you guys, no stickers, no support, and

(56:32):
I've got material here for like five hours. All right,
here's the Techa Coscon video, this one. Note how he
uses individualism, how he positions himself as an individualist. This
is tacos. Remember the ultimate tribalist. Watch how he does

(56:53):
it in order to smear Zionism and Jews more broadly
in Israel.

Speaker 2 (57:00):
More broadly, Okay, there are enemies of Western civilization. Who
are these people? Are they the Muslims?

Speaker 1 (57:07):
So Muslims are not enemies of Wsines civilization, the.

Speaker 3 (57:10):
Jews or they you know whatever people have No, No,
they're not the Muslims. They're not the Jews. They're not
the Blacks or not whatever group you're blaming. There any
individual who doesn't acknowledge the human soul.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
Period, doesn't acknowledge the human soul. Are there any individuals
out there, anybody out there who doesn't acknowledge the human soul?
That humans have a soul, individual humans have a soul.
Isn't that everybody? Or does he mean soul in a
particularly Christian way or something else? What is it? Maybe

(57:44):
it's Jesus that don't acknowledge Jesus. So the enemies of
Western civilization are people who don't acknowledge the individual human soul.
Now he's going to claim he's an individualist. You'll see
this in a second. But okay, those are the So
let's now find out who the enemies of Western civilization
that the rights.

Speaker 2 (58:02):
Begin and end with the individual, not the group.

Speaker 1 (58:04):
Wow, the rights begin and end to the individual, not group.
He's absolutely right. I'm with Tucker Carlson on this one.
Rights begin with the individual, not the group. I imagine
if Tucker actually held that and followed that logic through,
he'd he'd be a good guy. And he's not because
he's a he's a collectivist, irrationalist, anti individual rights guy.

Speaker 2 (58:31):
Therefore, an attack on Western civilization looks like this.

Speaker 1 (58:34):
It's tribalism.

Speaker 2 (58:35):
It's identity politicism.

Speaker 1 (58:36):
That's right, it is. It's tribalism, it's identity politics. He's
absolutely again, it's it's absolutely right. Tribalism is anti Western civilization.
Identity politics is anti Western civilization, racist like taker cousin,
anti Western civilization. That's absolutely right.

Speaker 2 (58:59):
It's tribalism. It's identity politics, is DEI, it's whatever. It's
zionism's did you see that?

Speaker 1 (59:06):
How he snuck that in? It's DII. It's all these
leftist things that nobody likes, identity politics, and then he
throws Zionism in there. It's zionism. We'll talk about what
zionism is in a minute, but it's it's Zionism.

Speaker 3 (59:24):
It's any belief system that begins with the understanding that
one group is morally superior to other groups.

Speaker 1 (59:33):
So one group is morally subpiit to other groups. Yeah,
I agree with you, but notice that Zionism right in
the middle of there. So Zionism is the one example
he has, the one concrete example that he has of
a group that views itself as morally superior to all
other groups. Do Zionists actually believe is Zionism an ideology

(59:57):
and a theory that believes that it's group, the Jews
are smallly superior than any of the group designers believe that.
Absolutely not. We'll talk about Zionism in a minute, but
absolutely not. But that's the one group, the one concrete
he can find the smear and associate with this tribalism collectivism,

(01:00:21):
and he's right about that. Tribalists and collectivists Demanda Western civilization.

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
We don't think in terms of groups, as Christians or Westerners.

Speaker 1 (01:00:30):
As Christians, we don't think in terms of groups. God,
you might want to tell that to the Catholics slaughtering
the Protestants, slaughtering the Catholics, slaughtering the Protestant slaughtering the Catholics,
or the Catholics slaughtering other kinds of Catholics who don't
quite agree with the dogma of these particular Catholics. So

(01:00:56):
Christians deal with people in terms of group all the time,
all the time. Wow, John is so enthusiastic. He's asking
the same question twice, a question he's already asked in
the past. Isn't that amazing? John? Wow? Twice? Ten dollars,

(01:01:21):
two fives. I'm excited. Yeah, amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:01:31):
We think in terms of the individual. It's literally that simple.

Speaker 3 (01:01:36):
And the reason it's important to say this out loud
is because there are so many interests vying for the
mantle of defender of Western civilization. What does you mean
to defend the West? What does it western?

Speaker 2 (01:01:49):
Robin? Defender of the Western?

Speaker 1 (01:01:51):
No? Notice Notice what he says about Nintennian, right, Notice
what he says about Nintenian again, the only concrete example
he has. And Neizaniello, And you want to tell me
he's not a rabbit anti Semite? Absolutely, Notice what he
says about Neizeno.

Speaker 3 (01:02:08):
To defend the West, I'm a West you know, I'm
a defender of the Western of Western civilization.

Speaker 2 (01:02:14):
No, you're its enemy.

Speaker 1 (01:02:16):
Israel. Netzenia and Israel are the enemy of Western civilization.
I mean, if you think tribalism is the enemy of
Western civilization, Islamic tribalism you know, ones that you know
cause people to fly airplanes into the World Trade Center

(01:02:37):
Islamic uh, you know, tribalism that calls for jihad against
the West, literal war against the West. That's not tribalism.
And the people standing up against those jihadis, standing up
against the violence of Islam. They are what they're the

(01:03:02):
enemies of the Western civilization. Israel standing up against the
explicit enemy of the West, the enemy of the West
that actually declares itself an enemy of the West, the
only one. It's Israel that is the enemy of the
Western civilization.

Speaker 2 (01:03:23):
Of course, literally it's main enemy. Why because I don't
like you has something to do with that.

Speaker 1 (01:03:29):
It's main enemy. Israel and Zionism are the main enemy
of Western civiliations, not the Russians, not the Chinese, and
suddenly not Islam. I mean, ultimately, he Tucka is a
fan of Sharia law, not Islam. It's Jews, Jews, Jews,
they are the enemy of Western civilization. It really is unbelievable,

(01:03:54):
and that he can get away with this and that
nobody will call him on it, or very few people
will call him on it.

Speaker 2 (01:04:01):
The reason that that Nyahu is an enemy of Western
civilization is because he believes and.

Speaker 3 (01:04:07):
Has said out loud, that we're fighting these people because
of how they were born, because of their inherent evil.

Speaker 1 (01:04:14):
Nobody's ever said that Ninteniao, and I am no fan
of a Nantenniao's. Nintenao has never said that they are
born evil, they're inherently evil, that it's in the genes
to be evil, that Arabs are just evil people, all
of them, Palestinians, whatever however you want to define it.
This is just Taka Kausa making stuff up and lying,

(01:04:37):
and he can get away with it because they just
choose and know who he's sighting with. He's siding with
the collectivists, the Muslims, the Muslims, not just any Muslims,
the Muslims who are affiliated with the Islamist ideology. He's
sighting with Hamas, He's siding with al Qaeda, He's sighting

(01:04:59):
with He's siding with Kato, who supposedly, according to some
pay here's bill. I don't know if that's true. I'm
just asking questions. What do I know? You could have
used hamas as example of the enemy of Western civilization,
but no use Israel in Nitaenniel and then put a

(01:05:23):
quote into NATO's mouth that he never said, ever said,
and which is not Zionism.

Speaker 2 (01:05:29):
Because of how they were born, because of their inherent evil.
We don't believe in that. Just not every person. He's
inherently flawed but salvageable.

Speaker 1 (01:05:37):
I don't believe people are inherently flawed, and I don't
think Tucker sold eligible.

Speaker 2 (01:05:42):
God made every person. Why are the Nazis bad? The
Nazis are bad because for that exact same reason.

Speaker 1 (01:05:50):
And so no the juxtaposition here. Now we've got another concrete,
the only other concrete. So you've got Zionism nitaeo I
e Israel and the Nazis Israel Zionism, and then Nataniel
like the Nazis.

Speaker 2 (01:06:05):
So if you want to defend the West, you defend
a single proposition and everything emanates from that proposition.

Speaker 1 (01:06:11):
This is true, individual, that's true, that's true.

Speaker 2 (01:06:15):
Which were given to him by God?

Speaker 1 (01:06:17):
And what is the only country, What is the only well,
I won't give it to you by God. But what's
the only country in the Middle East at least that
respects any semblance of rights. What's the only country that
respects any semblance of individualism? Only country, only countries Israel?

(01:06:43):
And yet Taka, you know, places himself solidly on the
side of let's see Kata, Sudan, Iran, Iraq, Gaza, they're
the ones who represents rights. It's Israel that is the problem.

(01:07:03):
Israel that's a problem because hey, it's collectivistic. A note
how he wraps it all up in a frame of Oh,
I'm just for individual rights, I'm for individualism. And he
sneaks these things in and he has been doing this right.
Tucker has been a journalist commentator on TV what for

(01:07:26):
twenty plus years. He knows exactly what he's doing. He
knows exactly how to play the game. He sneaks these
things in, and these things land and there resonate. Now,
I just want to say something about Zionism, because Zionism
is the exact opposite of what he says. Sionism in

(01:07:50):
many respects is in an important way why it can
be used as a collectivistic ideology. It's not so think
about the founder of Zionism. God, how am I gonna? Yeah? Anyway,

(01:08:10):
the founder of Zionism was an am named Theodore Hertzel.
Theodore Hurtzel was an individual, a Jew who was completely
assimilated into European society. He dressed like European intellectual, he
wrote like a European intellectual. He lived like European intellectual.

(01:08:31):
He believed that Judaism should disappear. He was an Austrian,
lived in Austria. He wasn't a Jew. He believed that
Jews should become just French and Austrian and German and Russian,
and the Jews should ultimately disappear and go away. I mean,
this was his worldview. He told Jews to blend in

(01:08:51):
as much as possible, and this is my view. He
also believed that Europe was the future of the Jewish people.
He taught Western values, Western society. Western culture was the
best culture ever, and it was the place for Jews.

(01:09:11):
He was proud of Western civilization. It was part of
being part of it. He was a journalist and he actually,
you know, lamblasted the Jews for not acting European enough.
You wanted them to become more European, more similated. And

(01:09:34):
then as part of his work as a journalist, he
was assigned to Paris for his Austrian paper to cover
up the Dreyfus affair in France, and he saw thousands
of so called enlightened French citizens scream against the Jews

(01:09:59):
in French in the French speech. You know, there was
a newspaper that was published in Paris in the late
nineteenth century during this driver's trial and after, called the
Anti Semite. It was a newspaper screaming against Jews, and
you know, bersically persecuted. A Jewish officer was falsely accused

(01:10:22):
for a spying for the Germans. And it wasn't like
down with the criminal, even though he wasn't even a criminal,
he was set up. It was down with the Jews.
That is he saw in liberal France, in liberal Paris,
in Paris of the nineteenth century of you know, Paris

(01:10:44):
of Hugo and Chopin and that, you know, Paris, the
beautiful Paris of the what do you call something, polk
the beautiful epoch, the beautiful period. Down with the Jews,
you know. And he thought to himself, if this was
happening in France, the most modern, open minded place on

(01:11:08):
the planet. If hatred for the Jews was that deep,
that everywhere what was to become. And by the way, Dreyfus,
who was a Jewish senior officer within the French Army,
was completely assimilated. He was Jew by birth, only by

(01:11:31):
DNA or whatever you want to call it. He didn't
behave like a Jew in a sense of practicing. He
wasn't religious, he was an atheist. He was a Frenchman.
If you'd asked Dreyfus, what are you would have said French.
He was a French. Patriots realized the Jews could never

(01:11:57):
escape the anti semitism of view, no matter how much
they assimilated, no match how much they became French or Austrian,
or German or Russian, anti Semitism would not go away,
because whether you're a Jew or not is not something
It is not dependent on you, It's dependent on your neighbors.

(01:12:17):
They decide if you're a Jew or not. And he
decided that Europe would turn against the Jews. He predicted
the Holocaust forty five years before the Holocaust. He understood,
no no matter how European Jews became, the crowd will

(01:12:38):
always remind you that you are a Jew when it
suits it, and he realized that the only path that
the Jews had to survive, to continue to exist was
by creating their own state, defending themselves, not being dependent

(01:12:59):
on anybody else to defend them. So here was a
fully assimilated European realizing the Jewish safety dependent on them
creating their own state and on them allowing that state

(01:13:21):
to be a refuge for Jews as long as anti
Semitism still existed. I mean, Zionism exists because of the
if you will, failures of Western civilization to eradicate anti Semitism,

(01:13:42):
to eradicate tribalism from within its mist I wouldn't call
it to a Western civilization for the West to not
be able to eradicate antisemitism. Zionism exists as a default.
There's no Holocaust. If there's ninety semitism in late nineteenth

(01:14:03):
century Europe and early twenties sent Ee, there's no Israel,
there's no Zionism. So again, I don't think Tucker is
ignorant of this. He basically agrees with it, he knows,

(01:14:24):
but he completely ignores it, completely ignores it. Now also
I'll just mentioned that was not in the Piers Morgan interview.
That's another video that he put out. But in the
Piers Morgen interview, he goes on to argue that Germany
was never thirty England, that Britain chose war with Germany,

(01:14:44):
that Britain could have stayed out of it, that Germany
really just wanted to fight communists. Again, Piers Morgan is
ignorant and can't even rebut that. The fact that when
Germany invades Poland, it does so under treaty with the
Soviet Union with the Communists to divide Poland between them.
I mean, this is basic history. The fact that Germany

(01:15:07):
had already broken every treaty that they had signed up
until that point. The fact that Germany clearly wanted right
Fans and Belgium and you know, northern Europe, and that
there was no way Germany was going to not go
after Britain ultimately.

Speaker 3 (01:15:27):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:15:28):
But that's the cause. All right, God, I am so
behind guys, and you're not appreciating it, not financially anyway.
All right, a few feel good stories. Okay, so after
I did all of that, now let's turn to something positive.

(01:15:51):
I came across this tweets and paper and analysis that
is just blew my mind in terms of what I expected.
But now we have data, actual data, right, this is
about who supported abolition in England in the early part

(01:16:15):
of the nineteenth century. So these researchers, they literally went
to find the data about who supported abolition. They did
it by looking at who signed anti slavery petitions, and
then they traced every person who signed to who he was,
where it came from, and all of that kind of stuff.

(01:16:37):
They looked at membership and abolition groups. They looked at
members of Parliament's voting behavior around the issue of abolition,
and then looked at their economic activity. And what they show,
pretty overwhelmingly is that the biggest supporters of abolition, but

(01:17:01):
by a big margin, the biggest interest group, if you will,
in favor of abolishing slavery in the UK in the
early in the in the nineteenth century early nineteenth century
were the industrialists, you call them the capitalists, I mean

(01:17:23):
the gentry were neither here nor there. Right, the merchants
neither here nor there. Some will force some more against
the aristocrats clearly wanted to maintain slavery and of course,
slave owners big time wanted to maintain slavery. Industrialists, those

(01:17:47):
evil capitalists, I often say capitalism eradicated slavery. Only capitalism
eradicated savery. The only system in human history you adicated slavery.
If you look at the ten most frequent occupations of
the people who signed a famous eighteen oh six Manchester
anti slavery petition, number one number one, profession manufacturer number two,

(01:18:17):
textile worker number three, but far behind merchant, then dealer,
than warehouse man, then taylor, then joiner, then shopkeeper, then shoemaker.
And at the very end, who do you think is
the very end the ones the fewest of these ten
who signed the petition appropriately beautifully attorneys attorneys. At the

(01:18:44):
very end, they look at signatures of industrialists. They find
the signatures of industrialists were more likely to be at
the forefront of the petition of any petition, and usually
on the first page. So the industrialist, the capitalists, the entrepreneurs,
the first one is to sign the anti slavery petition.

(01:19:07):
Industrialists were the biggest donors to the Anti Slavery Society
and were over represented in terms of membership. Again, industrial
Quakers were number one right in terms of membership, but
in terms of funding, right, it's the industrialist first, Quakers,
second merchant third. In terms of membership, Quakers first, industrial

(01:19:30):
interest second merchants third. So, I mean, this is beautiful stuff.
If you look at the areas they were most industrialized,
measured by local consumption and water mill usage, they produced
the higher share of anti slavery petitions by every measure

(01:19:52):
that they kept this they sliced it in so many
different ways. Industrialists were the number on un pressure group
interest groups pushing for abolition. That's pretty cool. It's a
pretty cool data point. It doesn't change anything in life,
but it's pretty cool given given the just a hostility

(01:20:14):
that you know, and the association that people make between
capitalism and slavery. Slavery is anti capitalists, and it's the
people who are really practicing capitalism, creating businesses, creating ventures,
creating industries. They were the ones most anti slavery. They

(01:20:38):
were the ones fighting the most and putting their money
towards the cause of anti slavery. So if you don't
believe in slavery and abolition movement, you know you should.
The abolition movement is as a heroic movement. You should
be you should recognize that it could not have existed

(01:20:59):
in England, of at least I don't know what the
stats are in the US. I guess it's very similar.
I mean, look, slavey was a phenomena of agriculture of
of particularly in England, of of the the colonies in
in In America, slavery was South agriculture. North industry were abolitionists.

(01:21:24):
Capitalism is in America and in the UK. It turns
out the capitalists, the activity of capitalism, the productive of
the entrepreneurs, the business leaders, they were poor abolition and
that is a great story and consistent. It's great to
see somebody come up with with this, these these data points.

(01:21:49):
All right, so some some good news about life in America.
I know, I know you don't want to hear good
news about life in America because because you know, Trump
told us that this contage in the streets and things
are really going bad. But here's a graph. I've got
a lot of these. I'm only get sure you want
a graph. I'm going to tell you about the other graphs,

(01:22:11):
but you can find them. The data is overwhelmingly positive
for the material well being of Americans and for crime.
Here is data on crime. What do I want to do? Yes,
there we go. There's the data on crime. US deaths

(01:22:31):
generally deaths rolling average over twelve months, by type. So
theft upper left is homicides. Right. Homicides are not quite
down yet to twenty nineteen data. And this is based
on CDC data. But you can look at FBI data,
you can look at local police data. You'll find that

(01:22:53):
this all is consistent. Not quite down to twenty nineteen levels,
but very close. Remember twenty nineteen levels. You know, maybe
they're up a little bit. I mean, the mid twenty teens,
lowest homicide rates in probably fifty years and maybe ever

(01:23:14):
in American history. If you have a drug overdose that
peaks in twenty twenty two, going down, going down steadily,
with a nice slope, and I don't you know, I
don't even think Trump can get credit for all of that,
any of these the slope starts in twenty twenty two,
independent of Trump. He'll take credit for it anyway. Oh,

(01:23:38):
drug overdoses is bottom right, bottom right. You can see
that sharp decrease starting. Actually there, it's twenty twenty three
traffic deaths top right, shop decrease. I mean not as sharp,
not as big, still way off from twenty nineteen. I

(01:24:01):
don't know what happened in COVID that led people to
drive like maniacs and to have more traffic deaths. It
this just emphasizes how much more we need those driverless
cause as quickly as possible. Suicide rates again actually peaked
sometimes post COVID. They actually declined during COVID. I remember

(01:24:24):
reporting on that during COVID, which was surprising that they
declined during COVID, but they did, and then they spiked
from twenty twenty one. You know, if you look at
this graph, what is it? It looks like it's colllated
with vaccines. Here's the new theory I have. Maybe you
can support this theory. I think vaccines created an epidemic

(01:24:46):
of suicide. Everybody got vaccinated and then when it killed themselves,
corlation causation. Right. But yeah, for some reason, right after COVID,
everybody got freed up from their lockdown and they all
went and a bunch of people went and killed themselves.
That's getting better, not at the rate we would like

(01:25:07):
it to go, but it's almost back at twenty nineteen levels.
Every measures of these death things are getting better. My
guess is that if you had here cancer deaths, heart
attack deaths, you'd see a downward sloping line. And this
is poor, you know, you know this is on a

(01:25:30):
twelve month over twelve months. It's a rolling average, a
rolling rolling number, I guess, not average, rolling number, total number.
All right, I'm just gonna read you off some other graphs,
like home ownership rates. You know how everybody says people
are buying, you know, home ownership rates suck and young
people don't have a home. Well, if you look at

(01:25:50):
home ownership rates of eighteen to thirty five year olds
from nineteen seventy six to twenty twenty four, if you
are married, basically sixty percent of married eighteen to thirty
five year olds had to own the house in nineteen

(01:26:12):
seventy six, and that went up a little bit, and
it's gone down a little bit, and up a little bit,
and down a little bit, and down quite a bit
in the twenty teens, and up a little bit recently,
and it's like sixty percent sixty percent now. Single single

(01:26:36):
people eighteen to thirty five years old, their rates in
nineteen seventy six were like ten percent, and shockingly today
like it I don't know. I can't exactly say, but
i'd say seventeen percent from this graph, seventeen percent. And

(01:26:57):
yet if you look at over whoh eight of home
ownership of eighteen to thirty five year olds, they've gone
from something like thirty eight percent in nineteen seventy six,
that's a blend of the married and unmarried to about
I don't know, twenty eight percent, So they've gone down
by ten percent. Each points a lot. They've gone down

(01:27:18):
a lot. How does that work? Like married people stays constant,
and single went up, and yet the combined went down.
This is a trick of statistics, right, trick of statistics
is not a trick. It's obvious once I tell you

(01:27:41):
how does that happen? Well, because the combined in nineteen
seventy six, I'd say, you know, I don't have the
exact number, but most people were married. Eighteen to thirty
five year olds were already married. So the sixty that
owned a home got a bigger waiting than the ten

(01:28:03):
percent who didn't. Fast forward to twenty twenty four, Wall,
a lot fewer people are married, and now the waiting
of the sixty percent still have a home is smaller
as compared to singles. Even though the singles own more homes,
they're waiting as smaller and therefore the number's gone down.

(01:28:29):
In other words, In other words, the whole home ownership
story is not a story about affordability of homes. It's
not a story about young people can't afford a home
and they're not buying homes and nobody owns a home
if they're eighteen to thirty five. Now it's one hundred

(01:28:51):
percent of story about young people not getting married. If
married couples, sixty percent of them own a home, just
like they did in nineteen seventy six. But you see
how people distort the statistics, manipulated change them. So it

(01:29:12):
is not the case that young adults are giving up
on the dream of home ownership. It's the case that
young people are not getting married, and when they do
get married, maybe in the late thirties or early forties,
then they'll own a home. You know, it's probably a

(01:29:32):
big chunk, particularly in America, of the birth rate. Issue
is an issue of people not getting married and people
getting married much later and therefore having a much shorter
window to have kids. Here's another positive statistic, you know,
just for fun, I figured i'd lump them all together, right.
Another positive statistics the mean wages in Mississippi. Mississippi is

(01:29:57):
the poorest state in the United States. Mean is the average.
The average wage in Mississippi, the poorest state in the
United States, higher than the average mean wages in the UK, Canada,
and Germany. So if you take that poorest state in America,

(01:30:20):
the average wage and the poorest state in America is
still higher than the wages in those three major countries, UK, Canada,
and Germany. Americans, you know, I don't know how to
tell you this, and I know it's going to break
your heart, but you're doing pretty well, not as well
as you could. I'm going to be the first to
tell you that not as well as you could, you're

(01:30:40):
doing pretty well. Do you know that in nineteen eighty
four you had to work five times five x more hours,
five times more hours to buy a refrigerator of the
same size as you do today. So if today you

(01:31:03):
know in nineteen eighty so here it is in nineteen
eighty for the average hourly earnings for production non supervising
worker in steaded roughly eight thirty two dollars acquiring the
kin more would that's require poxing one hundred and sixty
three hours of labor. By contrast, a comparable twenty twenty
four model from major retailer like Home Depot, matching size

(01:31:24):
and features retail so about nine hundred and ninety eight
dollars in nominal terms in twenty twenty four, and if
you look at just you know, wages and stuff like that,
then the labor investment would go down to thirty three hours.
So today you can buy refrigerator if you'll average something
in thirty three hours. In nineteen eighty four, it took

(01:31:47):
you one hundred and sixty three hours to by exactly
the same refrigerator. Actually today's refrigerator is a little better,
but put that aside. We live in a grievance culture.
We live in a culture of complaining, bitching and complaining.
If you look at refrigerators today, since one refrigerators, you

(01:32:11):
know we talked about one hundred and sixty three hours
versus thirty three. The one you buy with thirty three
hours is also like a third of the cost in
terms of electricity what it'e used, So it's much more
efficient and it's just as durable, So much for the
argument that you know, we're time and you know, refrigerators

(01:32:32):
and other goods become less durable, they break down more.
That's just not true, just true. You know, z Racer says,
we have a massive housing shortage for sure. Yeah, in
California and in Manhattan, and then a few other in

(01:32:53):
Seattle and in a few other places around the country.
In ninety nine percent of the country in terms of
job graphy, not inter it's the number of people living there.
There's no housing shortage. And I was thing, it's pretty cheap.
People forget that the whole housing crisis is a phenomenon
of a few cities all blue, by the way, a

(01:33:14):
few cities around the country. Some housing shortage in Austin.
That's why rents the declining and prices are coming down.
You can buy an amazing house right now in like
Leander for under a million dollars, a big mcmahonsion type
house for under a million bucks. All right. Finally, a

(01:33:36):
paper came out this week, this last week, and I'm
not gonna have time to go over all the details
in this, but I'm just gonna note a paper came
out by a guy named Michael W. Green who is
a financier, he works at some money management firm, he
is a chief economist there or something like that. And

(01:33:57):
this has been all the rage among the populists and
among the economists. And the paper basically made the argument that,
you know, the poverty line, which in America is defined
as something like thirty four thousand dollars for particular family,
I think family with two kids or something like that.

(01:34:18):
That's a poverty line. You make that or below, you're poor. Right,
everybody could agree with that. Anyway, this Michael W. Green
came out with a paper saying, ah, that poverty line
is completely wrong. The reality is that in America today,
if you make one hundred and forty thousand dollars, one
hundred and forty thousand dollars, you're basically in poverty. And

(01:34:40):
the Free Press ran a story written by Michael Green.
So he wrote a paper and then he wrote a
version of it for the Free Press where he basically said,
one hundred thousand dollars you're poor. That's a new poverty line.
If you make less than one hundred thousand dollars, you're
poor in America today. This is nuts. I mean, imagine

(01:35:02):
how poor Europeans are none of them make over one
hundred thousand dollars. I mean, that is completely nuts. Now
I don't have time to go through this, but there's
a couple of papers by Scott Winship. Scott Winship is
a fellow and the director of the Center for Opportunity

(01:35:23):
and Social Mobility at the American Enterprise Institute. Then there
was also a paper by Jimmy Hoppenhadull and I can't
remember what his credentials are, but he's an economist, and
they basically say, this is basically nuts. You're completely lying

(01:35:44):
and cheating with the numbers. You don't know what you're
talking about. But now this rhetoric of one hundred and
forty thousand is spreading on Twitter like crazy. Everybody's adopting
it because it feeds the populist and the left, the socialists. Yeah,
look at capitalists, it's made one hundred thousand dollars of earnings.
You're poor. And if he is the populist in the way,

(01:36:04):
look at how awful life is. We need those immigrants
out because because of the immigrants, even on one hundred
thousand dollars a year, we can't make a living. But
it's yeah. I mean, this guy drastically underestimates how much
American income, how much families actually make. He dramatically overestimates

(01:36:27):
how much spending is necessary to support a family. He
uses average spending figures and treats them as if they're
the minimum amount necessary, and average is always skewed by
the biggest spender. It's not you know, if he'd use
the median, it would have been better. Still not right,
but would have been better. But median is what fifty
above and fifty percent below. He's using average, which is

(01:36:49):
way about fifty percent, because again, if I'm buying a yacht,
that's driving consumption way higher. He obsesses over the official
poverty measure and how it's been done since it was
originally established in the nineteen sixties. Granted it's somewhat arbitrary

(01:37:09):
what the official kind of poverty level is, but anyway,
this is just consistent with this god just grievance culture
right and left. Everybody wants to blame somebody, immigrants, billionaires,

(01:37:30):
people who don't look like me, foreigners, white people, systemic racism, something.
It's somebody else is to blame. And my life sucks
and I have no perspective. And one of the interesting
phenomenas about this all this BS stuff on poverty, on life,

(01:37:50):
on income. I've told you about gen Z's, all the
stats on gen Z is you have to decide at
some point what do you believe. Do you believe that
data or he believes what Americans say? And even when
you talk about what Americans say, do you believe what

(01:38:11):
they say about their own life or do you believe
what they say about their neighbor's life, because survey ask.
The survey show that Americans are pretty satisfied with their
own life. They're not that aggrieved. They don't think they're poor,
they don't think they're struggling. They've got a home, they're okay,

(01:38:31):
their income is fine, they manage. But Sylvie Ask, the
survey also show that those save Americans who are you know,
okay with their own lives, think they're neighbors. Oh my god.
There's poverty everywhere, crime is out of control. The world
is ending for everybody else. In my neighborhood, there's no crime,
don't get me wrong. And in my neighborhood, everybody's making

(01:38:53):
good living. But out there, some way, there are people
who are awful and everybody's suffering and every but you know,
wages have not gone up since the nineteen seventies. We
were told over and over and over and over again.
The lie that's repeated and repeated and repeated, and then
it becomes reality. Wages have not gone up since the seventies.
You know, there's an affordability crisis in America today. No

(01:39:16):
stuff is more affordable now than ever. You know, a
few things are really expensive, and most stuff is more
affordable than ever, and more variety and more choices, and
even homes unless you're in California and New York or
a few other states, the more affordable than they used
to be because your wages have gone up with inflation.

(01:39:39):
Is but people are convinced. And why are they convinced?
Is it something bad about them? No, it's not. It's because,
and I've been telling you this for years now, our
intellectuals and our presidents and our politicians. Our intellectuals and
our politicians don't stop telling us. They do not stop

(01:40:01):
telling us how bad things are, how awful things are
for us. Wages haven't gone up. There's a crisis. There's
a fentanel crisis, and an immigration crisis. And a housing
crisis and a cost of living crisis, and you know,
and and there's no end to the number of crises

(01:40:22):
China crisis, and employment crisis and a manufacturing crisis, and
there's no end. This is why presidents constantly announce emergencies
and take on emergency powers, and emergencies are never ascended.
And they lie and they lie, and they lie and

(01:40:43):
they lie, and they make stuff up. You saw there
with Tucker, you sew with Trump, you sew with Stephen Miller.
They lie and they lie, and they manufacture stuff and
they create stuff that doesn't exist, and they just they
don't stop. And the tragic thing is we just eat

(01:41:04):
it up. We eat it up. We just we just
buy into the whole thing. So there is a crisis,
you know, the crisis. Yeah, I mean, here's here's what
Scott Winsip writes about this. You know, just the idea

(01:41:24):
that populist rage is rampant because of whitespead economic dissatisfaction
is almost always an assumption not backed by the evidence.
But evidence does exist in this case too, and it
tells us that people are not actually any more dissatisfied
with their own economic situation than in the past. Rather
they think, contrary to what people say about themselves, that

(01:41:45):
everyone else is doing poorly. That impression doesn't develop in
a vacuum. It's fed by inaccurate, sometimes wildly inaccurate claims
that are taken up by the very online, by the
very online, and spread like wildfire among the dis effected

(01:42:07):
on social media. I won't follow Green in accusation of
bad faith. Green is the guy who wrote about one
hundred and forty thousand dollars but as argument about poverty
is simply bad. Yeah, I mean, we suffer because we

(01:42:28):
have bad intellectuals. We suffer because we have bad politicians.
We suffer because we have bad ideas. We suffer because
we don't listen to the few among us who are rational.
We suffer because we're driven by emotion. And note that

(01:42:50):
there are consequences of this, and we keep following this,
we will be in a crisis. They are crises out there.
You know, the fact that the government is going to
go bankrupt one day, the fact that you know there
are real misallocation of capital out there, There's real injustice
is going on out there. They're not the ones that
people claim they are, but they are going on. We

(01:43:13):
blame the wrong things, we focus on the wrong things,
and we don't do the right things because we don't know.
The public has completely bemboozled by a failed intellectual class
and by a despicable lying political class. And yeah, that's

(01:43:35):
what we are. They're my friends. But the reality of it,
the facts on the ground of it on a day
to day basis, are that you still, in spite of everything,
you still I know it's hard for you to believe
this live from a material economic perspective, in the best

(01:44:00):
time in all of human history, and from many other respects,
It's never been a better time in human history to
be gay whatever LGBTQ you want to be, oh you
happen to be, not want to be, happen to be.
It's never been a better time in probably all of

(01:44:20):
human history to be a minority, in spite of the
nastiness of these people. So it's never been in all
of human history a better time to be a woman
than right now. And so there's a violence. It's it's

(01:44:41):
probably on a global scale, is the best time to
be alive in spite of the war in Ukraine and
what's going on in Gaza and it's don and in
Somalia and a few other places, it's some of the
safest times in all of human history right now. So
there's a lot to fix, but we can't fix it

(01:45:03):
until we know what's real and what isn't, What are
real problems or what or not, what actually makes sense
to worry about, and what doesn't. All right, friends, that

(01:45:23):
is the news for this Friday, November twenty eighth, the
day after Thanksgiving. Thank you all for being here. We
are lagging, lagging, you know, painfully lagging our goals. Right,
so we were about to finish our second hour. Second
hour went two hours straight today, no break, no nothing, right,

(01:45:44):
two hours straight and we haven't made our We've just
about made our first hour goal, and we need to
make our second hour goal. So we still lack about
two hundred and fifty dollars to make our second alur goal.
So stickers one dollars, stick of five dollars, stick of
one hundred dollars. Sticker, you know, somebody coming in with
two hundred and fifty, we'll do it. Two hundreds one,
you know, five fifties. Anything like that would be greatly appreciated.

(01:46:08):
So we can say we made at least the second
our goal even as we slip into the third hour,
because there's a there's a few questions, they're just not
with big dollar amounts on them. So yeah, you know,
we've got to make our goals. This show could not
exist without support from you, all right, talk about support.
The best way to support the show is monthly. Is

(01:46:31):
make our commitment to support it monthly. You can do
that on Patreon Patreon dot com and just go your
on book show and become a monthly support. If you
do ten dollars above, you get the podcast version audio
only with no ads, no ads on your Apple podcast
or whatever podcasting app you use. So that's the best way.

(01:46:52):
I'm still looking for I think I need. I'm still
searching to make my goal for the end of the
year seven seven new Ptreon subscribers. Seven you. Now, if
the seven would like five hundred dollars a month, that
would make my year. But seven at any amount would
be fantastic. Seven You. If you're out there and you've

(01:47:12):
never supported the show on a monti basos, or you
used to and you don't anymore, or you subscribed on
Patreon but you know free subscription, then just flip it
to a monetize subscription and accounts. I need seven new
ones or seven re upping or whatever you want to
call it, and that'd be great. I also want to

(01:47:35):
remind you that on December thirty first, New Year's Eve,
we do the annual year in Review show. We look
back at the year and we examine it. I might
have I might try to have some guests on as
well and do some short interviews as well, and we're

(01:47:56):
going to have like a massive goal, a fundraising goal.
We're gonna going to try to raise like twenty thousand
dollars on that one show. I'm blocking out at least
four hours for the show, so this is going to
go for like four hours on the thirty first of December.
So please consider dropping in and coming in and making
a small contribution, a large contribution, like to get us

(01:48:19):
to the goal. We have made the goal every year
in the past, but I keep upping it so it
keep making it more difficult for me and for you
and for everybody else. So please consider, please consider coming
in and if you have the wherewithal to come in
with significant amounts so we can make our goals, because
it's going to require some people to do five hundred

(01:48:41):
dollars and several hundred dollars and a number of you.
So that'll be December thirty. First, we'll probably start at
one pm East Coast time and go for like four hours,
maybe even five hours, and until we make it. So
I'll be you know, asking for money. But I will

(01:49:01):
have some guests. Uh. Maybe I'm gonna try, uh and
get some guests, uh see if they'll come on uh
and uh and just talk about why they like the
show and why they like being on the show, and
and just to mix it up a little bit, maybe
take a few of your questions. So we'll get some
guests to come on and take some of your questions. Uh.
And by the way, that we're gonna have guests starting

(01:49:22):
next week. So Monday Monday, we're gonna have heavy Vince
Swang lb on the show. H So Monday evening the
following Monday, if I'm not mistaken, we're gonna have Gene
So we're covering the Businessweger family, so Harry, and then
a week after Jane and then we're gonna have Nicos,
and we're still trying a bunch of others, you know, uh,

(01:49:44):
you know so the rest of December, expect to have guests. January.
Throughout January, expect to have guests. So we will have
interviews throughout uh and and into next year. Oh, I've
got what's his name, Vincent Vincent Galleso Gallesso, the Canadian
economist who basically, when Trump put tariffs in Canada, basically

(01:50:06):
said Canada should have unilaterally zero tariffs. They should reduce
tariffs in retaliation for Trump's increasing tariffs. And so that's
gonna be fun. We'll have another free market economists, non
objectivist female economists on to talk about tariffs and other stuff,
so that'll be fun as well. That will also be

(01:50:27):
in December. And of course we'll have Nicos to talk
about crazy right and the crazy left. He's an expert. Finally,
we have some sponsors. Dynamand Institute is holding a confidence
in Porto, Portugal in April seventeen to nineteen. I will

(01:50:47):
be there and you should come. You can get a discount.
It's twenty six ybs ten that's a discount code. And
if you're under thirty four years old, you can get
a scholarship that'll basically pay pay you, pay you for it.
Somebody says, whatever happened to Joe Sealgian He was on
like a few months ago. I had him on.

Speaker 2 (01:51:11):
That was.

Speaker 1 (01:51:13):
Anyway, that's that manustute. Then you've got Alex Epstein. Alex
Epstein is the oh to find the stuff for the
for the institute is ironman dot org slash start here,
Ironman slash dot here. All the links down below. Alex
Epstein number one thinker on energy, on on electricity, on
fossil fuels, on what's going on with energy policy and

(01:51:35):
the Trumpet administration. Alex is uh has a substack talking points.
You will learn so much alex Epstein dot substack dot com.
Alex Epstein dot substack dot com. And yeah, let's stop
there and we'll do more in X few days. Can
do all of them every day, but we'll cover most

(01:51:58):
of them. Let's do quickly. Some of the stickers. Stringer
Bell came in with fifty dollars. Thank you, Stringer Bell.
That helps a lot. I need four more people to
do fifty dollars so that we can get to our goal.
Sir Nerrick, thank you for the sticker. And who else
did a sticker? Who else we got? Jason Adams, Benjamin Nuniez,

(01:52:22):
Margaret and Yahiel and Deeper with Diego and sit went
to five four and timber Skid and Normative, Randroad and

(01:52:43):
Bonnie Bertran and Katherine and Rufa l and freend Harper.
Thank you for the stickers, really really really appreciate the support. Particular,
we'll give a shout out the string A Bell who
did fifty bucks, So thank you Stringer Bell. Really appreciate that.

(01:53:04):
All right, let's go with Andrew. Why does xenophobia towards
immigrants persist? Libertarians routinely expose how every generation of immigrants
face the same ignorant tropes and then become part of
the fabric of society. Yet the ignorant tropes prevail. So
the real question is why the ignorant tropes prevail. It's

(01:53:25):
because ignorance prevails and collectivism prevails. And you know, xenophobia
is just an aspect of collectivism. And when you have
periods with cultural angst, people upset, people believing that the
world is not going well, maybe it's coming to an end,
Western civilization is ending. Then they need to find somebody

(01:53:49):
to blame for it and to say ideas, cause it
is too big, too difficult to abstract. They want to concrete.
They want somebody to blame, and immigrants are just easy
to blame. Whatever problems you have, and you know and
you can you can easily position immigrant groups against one another.

(01:54:12):
For example, I mean, the biggest opposition to Chinese immigration
in the eighteen nineties in California came from Irish immigrants who,
in a sense, thought that they came first. They were
not willing to do the kind of work that Chinese
did on the railroads, and they they they they feared
that the Chinese were undercutting their wages, so they rose

(01:54:36):
up against the Chinese to try and they got the
They got California legislation and then ultimately the federal government
to ban Chinese immigration from the United States. So, but
it's a it's a it's a combination of collectivism and
ignorance and fear. So when society has become dominated by

(01:54:56):
anger and fear, they need to they need a focus.
They hang on somebody and and they have to and
that's somebody. An easy target is immigrants, particularly in America,
where immigration has played such a huge role in the
history of the country. Lincoln, what is this the disaster

(01:55:22):
known as Trump is going to charge two hundred and
fifty dollars for international visitors instead of eighty dollars for
national park entry. Oh and add his pick to the pass.
Discouraging international visitors hurts countless businesses, including ours. Yeah, I mean, oh,

(01:55:43):
this is Linda Linda Codell. Okay, I don't know what Yeah, yeah,
I mean it's it's horrible. It's horrible. So you know,
when when you don't like foreigners, you don't like foreigners,
whether they're visitors, whether they come here. I wouldn't I
wouldn't be surprised if if Americans stop traveling abroad lass,

(01:56:04):
because who wants to go to these horrible places? We
don't want the people coming here, why would we will
go there? And and you know, you become more insular,
become more isolated, become more ignorant. And yeah, I mean
it's the globalist like me who travel around the world
and and visit new countries and you don't want to

(01:56:24):
interact with new people and and and different people from
different parts of the world. That that that that's that's
not those real American patriots that Trump talks about. That's
not them. They don't they don't do that so why
have them come here. It's very destructive to the US economy,
particularly concentrate in particular places that that very much rely

(01:56:45):
on tourism. And it's destructive to Americans not to be
able to interact with these fauners and destructive faunas not
being able to come here to visit never might immigrate.
Andrew Uh, I know it's a small point Trump calling
the reporter Pece, But I would like to lecture to
mature conservative men you support taking talking to a woman

(01:57:07):
like that, What if it was your wife? Does character
matter in life or not? Well, I think that they
have basically come down on no, it doesn't matter. As
long as you fight the left, it doesn't character, it
doesn't matter, you know. And and I mean most of
the people who met who voted for Trump would never

(01:57:29):
talk to people like that like he talks to them.
But I think a lot of them would like to
and they live vicariously through Trump. But yeah, I mean,
character doesn't matter. That's one of the great tragedies. And
remember when when Bill Clinton was president, it was all

(01:57:50):
about character according to the Republicans. Of course, they lost,
So maybe the lesson they learned is if you emphasize character,
you lose, so forget about character. What we want is winners,
God Andrew. The more I strengthen the integration of objectivist morality,
the more I realized the extent to which the extent

(01:58:13):
that the switch a beneficiary from others to self is
a revolutionary identification in opposition to conventional morality. Yes, it
changes everything. That switch to say the beneficiaries, your reaction
should be you, not the other. Everything changes your whole conception,
your whole psychology, everything about how you interact with the

(01:58:34):
world changes. And very few people in all of human
history accepted that I've adopted that swich is Philosopher's aristotleline
ran basically, you know, maybe Spinoza hinting at it, but yeah,
everybody else says, oh yeah, being selfish is that's just
human ature. What can you do? But you have to

(01:58:55):
overcome it with morality. Morality is the way we overcome
instincts of self interest. Kiro from the Czech Republic. Chad
Gibd thinks the US NATO whatever rough time defeating Iran,
even though just for theory, even without just worth theory,
due to the asymmetric strategy, which uses proxies and Straits

(01:59:18):
of Homos, disrupting to inflict high cost, triggering a regional
war and global economic shock. True, Oh god, no, no, no,
no over in I mean, even with just Ward would
be over in a month. I mean Israel completely eviscerated
them in twelve days. Another twelve days the regime would

(01:59:39):
have fallen. And oh right, so they blocked the Straits
of Homos for a few days. But you land marines
in the Straits of Homos and you reopen it, that
will take days. There's no fighting force on the Iranian
side that we stand anything America has. Think about the

(02:00:02):
nineteen ninety one war with euroc it was just it
was just me and all the experts, and I'm sure
chat ChiPT was around then. All the experts said at
the time, Oh, casualties on the American side are gonna
be horrific. This is gonna be a devastating war. It's

(02:00:22):
gonna take weeks months to dislodge the Iraqis. The Americans
don't realize how strong the Irocky military really is. Would
it take a few days? So no, absolutely not. Chat
GPT and all those generals and all those experts. They
thought Gaza would be a blood bath for these Raeleas.
They thought Isa could never take Andrebala they thought, oh

(02:00:45):
my god, is or can't take on you Wan he
wants far away. They can't bomb you on, They can't
do anything to you want. The experts know nothing. Sadly,
my experience of military experts is they constantly under my
underestimate the free Western countries and oh way over estimate

(02:01:08):
the power of dictatorships and the power of Soviet weapons
systems and the power of so called asymmetrical warfare. Iran
has nothing, not a days it would take for the Americans. Andrew,
is there a nexus between narcissism and conspiracy? Theorizing Candice

(02:01:29):
or newest drama is the French government is targeting her
for assassination. Oh and at least one Israeli is in
on the plot. Well, he's a member of the assassination team.
One Israeli a member of the assassination team. I mean,
she's borderline mentally ill at this point, She's so detached

(02:01:50):
from reality you have to say her mind is not
working right. There's something really wrong. Whether what it is
exactly what caused the damage is really really hard to tell.
But something is very, very damaged there, right. I don't know.
I don't know enough about narcissism to tell you how

(02:02:12):
it relates to conspiracy theories. But you know, any any
ism that detaches you from reality, which narcissism certainly does
because it places you at the center of something where
you are not at the center of and and and
makes everything the standard is not reality truth. But how
how it you know, how people think of you has

(02:02:36):
to encourage conspiracy theories, which are another form of detachment
from truth from reality. But I'm sure there's a connection.
We'd have to know more about the nature of narcissism, Michael,
did you listen to your Casoni's interview about Nick foy
iNTS the nationalist ideas he pushed are so suicidal he

(02:02:57):
has engaged in massive evasion. I haven't listened to the
whole thing. I want to, as you know, I know Hazzani.
We've been very friendly in the past, and we've also
debated both on Alex Friedman Show and at the University
of Texas. And yeah, I predicted, oops, I predicted way

(02:03:20):
back that national conservatism would lead to antisemitism, nationalism, collectivism.
It kind of obviously leads to antisemitism, so it doesn't

(02:03:42):
surprise me at all, and the fact that he can't
see it, You're right, requires massive evasion. In some senses,
he's responsible. Like numbers, you say, we shouldn't worry about
more than fifty years in the future. How does that
square with it taking one hundred plus years objectivism to
take hold. Yeah, I mean, I don't know what the

(02:04:03):
number is. I'm not worried about it, right. It could
be a hundred, It could be one hundred and fifty,
could be two hundred, could be fifty. I'm not doing
what I do for objectivism to take hold in one
hundred years. I don't know what's going to cause it
to take hold. I'm doing what I do because I
love it, because I enjoy it, because I like the fight.

(02:04:25):
You know, I agree with your man that fighting for
the future. You know, fighting for the futures is like
living in it. You get a sense of it. It
basically allows you to integrate those ideas into everything that
you do, into your life. And I'm doing it, you know,

(02:04:47):
I get pleasure and satisfaction over the people. You You
guys who come to me and say you change my life,
you help me discover your rand. You help me discover
this is an alternative the matters out there. You turn
me away from Trump, or you turn me away from
the Left. I've had all people from do that. That's
what keeps you going. I can't hold If I do

(02:05:10):
a really good job I do, if I work really, really,
really hard, then fifty years so now I'll have an impact.
I give up. There's no way I would do it.
It's not the purpose you change. If you're not changing
lives all the time, if you're not changing lives on
a regular basis, if people are not responding positively to

(02:05:33):
what you're doing, then what's the point. Fifty years is
too abstract, too distant, and too uncertain. And two, I
don't really care. I'll be dead. It's not even fifty
years fro now. Fifty years after I'm dead, my kids
won't even be around. I find it very hard to care.

(02:05:54):
I mean, if I was alive, I would care. But
Michael has it doesn't become an effective business model. Well,
I mean for some people you know who can you
can leverage off of that population, sure, but it's not
an affective business model for anybody other than a few creeps.

(02:06:16):
It's not univers versible. You can't take what Nippoyintus does
and mimicate and make it a business model. And it's
only one industry in the industry of punder tree to
the lowest common denominator, Paul, thank you for the sticker.
Appreciate it. Freend Harper watched yesterday's show after the fact

(02:06:39):
and wanted to say I'm grateful that you gave gratitude
the attention it deserves culturally underrated aspect of the virtue
of justice. Absolutely, absolutely, thank you, Finn Harper. Oh. John
John asked the same question twice. John asks, Uh, do
you dispute the claim that majority of inmates and fans
and Muslims know right, majority of majority of inmates and

(02:07:05):
fans are indeed Muslims. And I'm not gonna I'm not
gonna take it where you want me to take it to.
That's up to you. You want to you want to
draw whatever conclusions you want from that. There could be
lots of reasons why that is the case. And by
the way, I don't actually know that that claim is right,
but it doesn't surprise me, so I'm willing to accept that.

(02:07:27):
John has looked it up and uh, and that he's
not lying to us. But I don't actually know firsthand
that that claim is right. But it wouldn't be it
wouldn't be surprising, and it doesn't seem to I don't
seem to. It doesn't seem to matter to me that
much that that is. That is true? Well, and happy

(02:07:49):
Black Friday, thank you all on you're spending two Swiss
fanks here instead of instead of going to the mall.
H that's good. Andrew, is there a logic to the
soul less Tuka claiming to value the individual soul above all,

(02:08:09):
by the way, for those who really want to know
what it means to value an individual? So Reade ran, Yes,
I mean logic. It's not about logic, it's about he
knows that that's what Christianity's about, and he pretends that
that's what he cares about, and he maybe even convinces

(02:08:30):
himself that that's what he believes. But he is soulless.
He has no soul. The demons of taking it, they
scratched it out of him, and you know he's a
lost cause. But Christianity tells him it's all about the soul, right,
that's what matters, That's what you should care about Jjibis woman.

(02:08:52):
Polanski has a relatively new film about the Dreyfus affair
that is reportedly excellent. It's hard to find because of
lack of you distribution, But would you be willing to
see it despite rolland Perlansky? Yeah, I mean I'd be
willing to see it, So, you know, I obviously Romand
Polenski's kind of a bit of a creep He slept

(02:09:12):
with her, was it a thirteen year old? A fifteen
year old, I mean, a very young girl, and has
avoided the United States for fear being arrested since for peterphilia.
So he's a creepy guy. But he makes he makes
really good movies, and particularly if I could see it
not at the theaters, I would see it. So I

(02:09:33):
need to look for it because I am very curious
about it. I'm generally curious about the Dice Drives affair.
I want to read more about it. I need to
read more about it. It's an interesting chapter in French history,
and you know, the centrality of anti Semitism is quite striking.
All right, Richard, I look forward to your upcoming focal points.

(02:09:58):
Here's some support for number one capitalism thank you. I
appreciate that, all right, and finally equal equal to reality.
And of course climate change is driven by lack of pirates.
I'm not sure what that relates to, but maybe some
of the some of the lying that we talked about,
climate change is driven by lack of pirates. If the

(02:10:19):
one more pirates, they wouldn't be climate change. Maybe maybe
who knows? Is there correlation fewer pirates more climate change? Yeah? Yeah,
we've driven away to our pirates in our way of
climate change. There must be causal. Thank you guys. I
will see you tomorrow for our AMA. I think it's

(02:10:40):
a one pm East Coast time, one pm East Coast
time tomorrow, Ama, And I'll see you all then. And yeah, today,
thank you to all the super chatters. Really really appreciate
their support. And have a great weekend, Have a great weekend,
have great Friday. Ready
