Speaker 1 (00:03):
A lot of them, fundamentals of lago, last little and
an individual loss. This is the.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Oh right, everybody, Welcome to you on book show and
this Monday, Monday, October sixth. Hopefully you're all having a
fantastic beginning of your week.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
I am slowly getting better, as you can probably tell. Uh,
every day is just a little bit better. I'm not
over this thing, which is ridiculous. It's been over a
week now.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
I feel like I should be over it, but I'm not.
So we'll take it. We'll take it one day at
a time, and we'll do this. So we'll do this slowly.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Shows will be a little shorter as my energy is
a little bit more constrained, but I am here and
intend to be here all week, at least until Friday,
so to keep you up with all the news that
is happening in the world. All right, so let's jump in,

(01:18):
jump in with with our news. And yeah, I hope,
I hope this thing just goes away. I keep expecting
to wake up in the morning and it's gone, and
you know, nope, it's still there.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
All right, let's start.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
You know, this is a story that we've been hearing
rumors about for I think over a month now, and
but yesterday today this morning, was announced officially that Barbe
Weiss's A Free Press has been bought, has been bought
by Paramount skuy Dance for one hundred and fifty million

(01:57):
dollars one hundred and fifty million dollar and that Barry
Weiss will become the basically the head of news at CBS.
CBS is owned by Pamint skuyd Dance, and she's not
going to become editor in chief.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Of CBS of CBS News.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
So this is this is huge, and this is massive
indication for of course for Barry Weiss and and everything
she has done.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
If you remember Barry was.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
A journalist, you know she she had worked in a
number of different publications, some Israeli publications, Jewish publications. She
spent her time in the Wall Street Journal as an
op ed and book review editor. She left the Wall
Seat Journal of twenty seventeen.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
She went to work.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
At the New York Times as an op ad staff
writer and editor at the New York Times, and in
twenty twenty.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
She resigned.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
And she resigned from New York Times. It was a
pretty famous resignation because she published a resignation letter.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
It made all the news.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
I remember covering it here on the IRN book Show
at the time. She basically accused the New York Times
of an illiberal environment. She claimed that she was subject
to constant bullying by her colleagues, primarily because of her
pro Israel views and because she just wouldn't go along

(03:45):
with kind of the woke leftist progressive agenda that had
come to dominate the New York Times. And in her
resignation she called for.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
A new era media and the formation of new media entities.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
And she she started up a new.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
A newsletter, common Sense.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
I think it was called Right off the bat, which
which gained a lot of attention as well. It turned
out to be incredibly well written and UH and and
she attempted to kind of capture what she believed was
kind of a census position, a common sense position, uh A,

(04:32):
a position that was removed from the kind of UH
dominance of of the woke fall left agenda of of
the New York Times and the mainstream media more broadly. Ultimately,
she UH turned the newsletter into the Free Press.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
UH which man she she.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Hired reporters, she hired staff, a bunch of columnists to
write column for her. She was joined in this in
Denver by her wife, Nelly Bowles, who wrote a humorous
TGIF column kind of on every Friday, and by her

(05:15):
own sister, Susie Wiss, who was a co founder and
who was also a co founder of The Free Press
and turned it into an alternative media company, a successful one.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
This had grown.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
She had grown this to about one hundred and seventy
five thousand paying subscribers. According to Walstee Journal, the business
generates about twenty million dollars of annual revenue, so she
got seven and a half times revenue.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
I mean, that's rich.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
It seems you know, one hundred and fifty million seems
like a lot of money for twenty million of revenue.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
I don't know what her bottom line is like, what her.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Earnings earnings alike, what her profitability in other words, is like.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
It's probably a very profitable business.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Reporters and columnists are not that expensive running a network,
running an online website is not that expensive. There's no
printing cost, there's no anyway. It seems like it's quite
a profitable business. And anyway, she did very very well,

(06:31):
basically within five years She took a non existent business
and she started something that.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
You know, went to twenty million in revenue. That is huge.
That is huge.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
That is a real entrepreneurship. Congratulations to Barry Weiss. I mean,
this is fantastic. It's good for her, you know, it
just it just shows that all those people who sit
there whine and complain and bitch about mainstream media and

(07:04):
all these other things, here's somebody who did something about
it and has become a gazillion as a consequence. She's
she's very, very rich now and and she has gone
back into the mainstream media now in a position of power.
And I will get to that in a minute. We'll
get to the what's happening at CBS in a minute.
But but this is a.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Just an inspiring story of.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Successful entrepreneurship and should be taken as such. And it
also means that, you know that there are a lot
of other alternative media companies out there that probably have
a worth a lot more money than they expected given
these valuations, whether it's The Dispatch or uh, you know,
there's a bunch of others that have an independent voice

(07:56):
and have picked up lots of subscribers. And this is
kind of given some kind of valuation to a lot
of those a lot of those businesses. So again, congratulations
Barry Ies. I mean, she's done a lot over the
last five years. I mean, she was one of the
founders of University of Austin. She's still on the board
on the board at the University of Austin. You know,

(08:19):
she has really become a voice, a pro Israel, a
major pro Israel voice out there. She has an interview show,
kind of a podcast that is incredibly successful. And of
course the publication itself has just become it's just a
really good publication.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Now it'll be owned by Paramount and.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Hopefully, hopefully will be left free to continue its path
of success. Now all of this is made possible, ultimately
by the fact that the media world in which we
live is going through some big changes.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
That is, we're seeing.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
We're seeing a lot of money come in and start
buying media assets. Paramount sky Dance is a result of
Larry Ellison's son, David Ellison. That's Larry Ellison, who is
the CEO of Oracle and A has been I don't

(09:21):
know consistently, but it has been a big support of
Donald Trump's Larry Ellison is his son, Sorry, David Elson
is the son. David Elison has kind of put together
the financing and backed by his dad and basically bought
bought Paramount and is now the chief executive. Larry Ellison

(09:43):
is not a leftist, you know. Larry Ellison himself is
somebody who you would have considered probably twenty years ago,
more of a libertarian, highly significantly influenced by you, and
a big Attla Shruck fan, but never very active in

(10:07):
politics or in the think tank world or in supporting
really any kind of causes. Really sat on his money
and on the sidelines.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
How to tell what his politics are today?

Speaker 3 (10:20):
Again a support of Donald Trump's, but how to tell
what kind of a conservative slash free market is there
still free market there?

Speaker 1 (10:29):
I don't know. I don't know what his positioning is.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
But here you have David Ellison, his son, who is
clearly on seems to be on the right, taking over Paramount.
Part of that is taking over CBS and dedicated now
to restructuring CBS and shifting it away from the conventional
left wing bias of the mainstream media and hopefully making

(10:55):
it a more objective news outlet. And I think of
Barry Weiss's mission is to bring that objectivity.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
That is her goal.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
That is a goal, that is a goal of barriers,
is to bring kind of objectivity.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
The goal of Weiss is very much to bring a.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
To bring a sense of reality to media, to do
the opposite of what she saw the direction of the
New York Times. She saw the New York Times had
in those in the in the twenty teens, not that

(11:49):
The New York Times was ever anything but heavily heavily
leftist biased. I mean, nine Man talked about this in
the nineteen sixties and how biased the New York Times
was back then, and she identified it as a leftist,
as a leftist, and it's only gotten worse, right, only
gotten worse since the nineteen sixties and going back to

(12:09):
nineteen thirties when it was running post Stalin stories. So
New York Times has always been left as biased. Anyway,
The idea now is that Barry will come into CBS
and clean house and.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
Make it more objective. You know.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
In terms of Barry's own politics, it's really hard to tell.
She's sympathetic too much of Trump's agenda, but she's certainly
not a conservative. Obviously, she is she's gay, she's married
to another woman. You know, they've got two adopted children.
She has people writing for her both left and right.

(12:58):
I have noticed over the last I'd tak a couple
of years, suddenly, over the last year, since Trump got elected,
the free press becoming more and more kind of conventional
right wing that is tilting more towards the Trump agenda,
which I have noticed with sadness, as have many other people.
I think we've supported Barry through much of her career.

(13:18):
But you know, but I think on certain issues, obviously,
she still sticks to her kind of I think set
of beliefs which are more I mean, I think an
economic she's the center left, and on cultural issues or
some cultural issues she sent a center right.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Again. But she's definitely anchored in the center way too.
I think.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
Positive about Trump. But she brings a whole bunch of
different voices to the free press, and that is good
for I mean, this is part of a much broader
shift in our media landscape, a shift to the right,
uh that we are seeing, of course, with Twitter taken
over by Elon Moscus as the beginning of that. One

(14:14):
of the things that could happen here is that Ellison
is talking about buying.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
What are they who are they.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
Buying Discover, which would give them control of a CNN.
So you could see CNN coming under the Larry Ellison
paramount umbrella, which would shift CNN and might be Barry
Wise very influential at CNN, your ABC and NBC kind

(14:46):
of stuck where they are. But I think what you're
going to see and and uh, you know, the politics
here are pretty straightforward. You're going to see a shift
to the right, a shift towards kind of a more
of a Trumpet's agenda. I think that people around Trump ambitious,
Many of them have money, and they will be deploying

(15:06):
that money in an effort to move.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
The media landscape more to the right.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
Hopefully what Barries will do at CBS is not a
shift to the right as much as a shift towards objectivity,
but that is yet to be seen, all right, So
that is Barry Edit to chief CBS. Now, congratulations to
Barry Wise. That that is pretty exciting for her, for

(15:37):
her team, and I think for CBS and going to
be really really interesting for the rest of us to
watch and to see what happens next.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
What happens next? All right, let's see.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
All right, so, you know, in dominating the news, I say,
the last couple of days, over the weekend into today,
there's been the deployment of ICE into places like Portland, Owigan,
and now into Chicago. We saw that massive raid last
week on a apartment complex in Chicago where children who

(16:17):
dragged out a bad whole families dragged out just brutal tactics, brutal, militant, uh,
really disgusting and anti American tactics used by federal by
federal agencies in order to cap the catch these uh,
you know, dangerous dangerous illegal immigrants. Videos are constantly out

(16:43):
about people just stopped in the middle of the street
and dragged into vans.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
They're still using unmarked vans. They're still using ICE agents, uh,
not always in uniform and uh with their.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
With their faces covered up. Uh.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
You know these uh, these authoritarian tactics by a federal
agency that has now gained more power than any than
any uh policing entity, federal policing entity in my memory
in the United States.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
Ever. You know, I don't know the history well enough to.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
Say ever, but at least in at least since I've
been in the United States. The idea of of of
you know, roving groups of ICE agents walking around these
cities and uh, you know, capturing people, dragging people, uh
for basically for what for for violating immigration law? For

(17:47):
you know, the equivalent of speeding victimless crime. These are
not gang members. They've got they got the gang members
that they could. Now they're just capture and dragging people
off the streets.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
This is reminiscent of every authoritarian regime. This is this
is you know, they need stormtroopers, they need somebody who's
willing to go into the streets of America, America after
all and arrest people based on the instructions of the
higher ups in Washington, d C. It's a disgusting, disgusting

(18:25):
display of authoritarianism. Anyway, they're gaining a lot of resistance.
They're they're getting resistance from local law enforcement who are
not always willing to protect them shield them from demonstrators.
They're gaining resistance from demonstrators and from just local population.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
You see this all the time.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
Where you know, you you'll find video online of these
ICE agents jumping on somebody and and people just coming
around and yelling at them to to to leave them
alone and and.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
To go away.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
You know, this is obviously offensive to the ICE agents,
and they were unhappy and they feel unprotected, and there's
stories about, of course their life being at harm. And
there was that shooting I think it was in Dallas,
that shooting against them. And I'm sure, I'm sure some
of it is organized and some of it is clearly
not organized because it's just you can see that it's

(19:26):
just random.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
Some it's organized. Good.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
I mean, I'm glad somebody is organizing to oppose this barbarism.
So I have no problem with it being organized. I
think that is good. But generally, you know, they're no
burning buildings. You know, Portland, oreigun, in spite of what

(19:49):
Trump keeps saying, is not burning down. It wasn't twenty
twenty when he didn't send troops, but it's not now.
You know, nothing that crazy is going on. Some ICE
agents so being harassed while trying to do their disgusting job.
There were things happening in the United States.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
Anyway, Trump would like to send.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
Troops into these cities in order to stop the demonstrations
and in order to protect the ICE agents so the
ICE agent could keep doing the The horrible things that
they're doing. So he tried to call up the National
Guard in Oregon and try to call up the National
Guard in Illinois. There's been resistance to that from the

(20:38):
governors of Oregon in Illinois, and ultimately there's been resistance
to that, and ultimately there's been resistance.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
Resistance to it in the courts.

Speaker 3 (20:51):
It's gone to the courts and federal judges have said, no,
you don't have the authority to deploy National Guards here.
Now I am not a legal scholar. I do not
an opinion about whether this is within the scope of
what a judge can decide or not. The same is
to in now in Chicago. Since they can't deploy the

(21:13):
National Guard. If Illinois, Trump wants to deploy Texas National
Guard bring in foreigners, right, bring in Texas National God
into Illinois to do the.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
Trump administration's bidding.

Speaker 3 (21:26):
Assume that bidding involves protecting ice agents from the abuse
of unarmed people who might stand in their way and
yell at them God forbid. And now that is going
to go in front of a judge. The State of
Illinois has sued as suit for this. And now this

(21:49):
is of course separate from the whole issue of deploying
federal troops into these cities for.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
To fight crime. That's not the issue we're talking about
right now.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
Now, we're just talking about protecting ICE agents, and we're
talking about ICE agents. Ice agents do not make our
streets safer. So this is not like the the Washington
and DC deployment, which was about crime.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
And look, it's very easy to reduce crime.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
Boukla has the formula you use just arrest everybody. If
you arrest everybody and put them in jail, crime drops.
Crime drops dramatically, not everybody. Sorry I'm exaggerating. Arrest all
males within I don't know. If you arrest all males
from age twelve, sixteen to thirty, crime will drop like

(22:40):
ninety five percent.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
I mean, ending crime is easy.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
The hot pot is to do it while respecting freedom
and liberty, while not arresting innocent people, while not putting
in jail without due process.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
That's the tricky part.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
I mean, I've always claimed you want to end crime,
just have a curfew on all men. Just have a
coofew on all men from you know, a certain time
at night from ATOTL six pm to seven am every day.
Men cannot go outside and crime will plummet, and that

(23:23):
would be that would be the solution. But that is,
of course the writes violating mechanism. But it's easy. You
want peace and quiet and crime free. Authoritarianism is greatary.
Under authoritarianism, there's very little crime, very little crime. Yeah,

(23:44):
well you do the lockdowns instead of COVID. You can
just say crime lockdowns. Let's do lockdowns. Yep, that'll solve it.
And I think I think this time conservatives would love
it because it's against crime, and it's in democratic cities.
We don't want to do lockdowns in Republican cities. No,

(24:04):
we don't do that right, partially because there are no
such things republican cities. The question is do we live
in a free country or don't we? And to live
into freedom? Yeah, I mean these cities should have more
police out there in the streets.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
More of these criminals should be in jail.

Speaker 3 (24:28):
And the keys should be thrown away, they should be
locked up forever. We should get much tougher unsentencing, and
we should put a lot more police in the streets. Now,
defund the police, increase the police. But policing in America
is a local issue. And the people who suffer from
the lack of policing in Chicago are the residents of Chicago.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
Residents of Chicago have.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
An opportunity to vote the mayor, the chief of police
or whatever out whenever they want.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
They go to the polls, vote.

Speaker 3 (25:02):
Them out and replace them. And maybe if things go
completely out of control, as they do some weekends in Chicago,
maybe you know, having some National God there in order
to stop gang warfare in the streets of Chicago makes sense.

(25:24):
If there was a legal framework to do that, it's doable.
It's not what they're being asked to do now. National
God is being asked to come into the streets of
Chicago in order to protect the thugs from ice harassing
hardworking but brown skinned people. Ice is the problem right now.

(25:50):
Ice is not the solution. Ice does not reduce crime.
If anything, Ice likely increases crime by increasing people's frustration
with the system they live under.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
But here's.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
You know, I think what is becoming the real issue
around all of this. This is, at the end of
the day, not about ice. It's not about the National
Guard being sent in. This is about creating an environment
in American cities that the government can start calling an insurrection,

(26:29):
and if it calls it an insurrection, then they can
use the Insurrection Act to now deploy troops in mass
into American cities without asking for anybody's permission. The goal
here is and remember Trump spend the weekend telling us

(26:51):
that the real enemy, the real enemy that our troops
should be fighting, is his political opponents.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
It's a democratic party.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
The real goal here is to intimidate anybody who opposes
Trump by placing troops or by having the power to
place troops anyway in America. I mean, this is straight
out of the fascist playbook. Straight out of the fascist playbook.

(27:22):
So Stephen Miller is constantly, constantly writing without you know,
he's on Twitter all the time. Every tweet of his
includes the terms insurrection.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Here's one legal insurrection.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
The president is the commander in chief of the armed forces,
not an argon judge.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
And yet the.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
Armed forces for which the president is commander in chief
have no responsibilities within the United States.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
That's outside the United States.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
And even there his power is limited by Congress. He
has no authority as command in chief within the United States.
He has no authority as commanding in chief. In Oregon.
There is no violence in Oregon that justifies sending in
National Guard.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
It's just an excuse.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
It's just creating the violence, creating the situations that would
elicit the violence so that he can send in the troops.
The goal here is to put troops into the streets.
That's the purpose, not to bring peace between intimidate Stephen Miller.

(28:40):
Goes on and Stephen Miller. Without any doubt, Stephen Miller
is a fascist. He's not hiding it anymore. He doesn't
pretend anymore. He is, and pretty much everything he said
since the Charlie Kokmoda has suggested a fascist like.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
Takeover of the American government.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
He continues, Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction
of local leaders, have refused to aid ice officers facing
relentless terrorist assaults and threats on life terrorist assaults wear
those There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon
than there are guns and badges in.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
The FBI nationwide. Okay, maybe maybe Oregon.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
Is the responsibility of Oligon law enforcement. Maybe don't send
the FBI. They're not needed, not necessary. He continues this
as an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and
its offices, and the deployment of troops is an absolute
necessary necessity to defend up personnel laws, a government, public order,
and the republic itself.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
And of course.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
The response to this is, yeah, impeach all the judges,
get rid of all the judges. And you saw Bookele,
even from El Salvado bucell come in and say, yes,
this is what I did.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
I got rid of all the judges.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
You can't get anything done if you keep getting stopped
by judges. Just impeach them all, replace them all with
people that support you, and then you can do whatever
the hell you want.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
I think that's called authoritarianism. That's what he is.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
He's an authoritarian thug, and that's what he wants for America.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
Even a Lune Musk has come out in support of
impeaching all the judges.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
So basically Donald Trump could do whatever the hell he likes.
And this all is a consequence of this judge, a
Trump appointee, I might say, a Trump appointee preventing the
mobilization of National God not just from Oregon but from
other states. So what's the solution. Impeach him, get rid

(30:53):
of it or Matt Walsh. Matt Wall says, we have
long reached the point where Trump needs to openly defy
these judges. Some random federal judge has no authority to
decide how and if troops are deployed, Yes.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
They do, if it's in the United States.

Speaker 3 (31:12):
They're so evasive, they're so sneaky, he continues, she is
not the commander in chief, Ignore her and deploy them.
It's time for her showdown with these activist judges. This
is who you've this, this is the ideology of those
in power right now, Stephen Miller. The one thing you

(31:40):
haven't heard from Democrats in the midst of all this
reaving hysterionics, telling the radical base to stop violently assaulting
ICE agents. The docsing murder threats and violent attacks are soaring. Really,
just days ago, a sniper trite assassinate multiple ICE agents,
two vehicle rammings attacks in one day.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
The list is endless. You can name three things.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
But instead of condemning the violence, they claim the domestic
terrorism is provoked by the mere presence of federal officials
are adoring the moral frame and language of the paid insurrectionists. Anyway,
the whole goal here is to create an environment where
our opposition, the Democratic Party, anybody on the left, anybody

(32:27):
who doesn't like what Ice does. They're terrorists, they're bad guys,
They're evil, they.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
Must be shut down.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
Forces must be used against them.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
And to help with the judges. Here's named Bukele.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
When we impeached our country's corrupt judges, we face strong
backlash on the so called international community, including the Biden administration.
We did it anyway because it was the only way
to save our country. The US, however, doesn't have to
answer to anybody.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
Yeah, just do it.

Speaker 3 (33:03):
You don't have to answer to anybody. Maybe it's your
own people. Other than that, this is all an effort
to accel, to make things worse, to intensify the conflict,
to create a situation where there's burning buildings in Portland.
They want that, They want street confrontation. They want to

(33:29):
be able to use whatever legal tools that they have.
They need an excuse, just like every fascist needs an
excuse to declaim martial law. An emergency situation where we
already have what three hundred emergencies going on right now
in the United States according to executive orders up the Kazoo, Well,

(33:52):
we need the ultimate emergency that requires putting troops into
the streets.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
I mean, this is actually put aside.

Speaker 3 (34:07):
Trump put aside, this is actually how fascism begins. Calls
to the president to have unlimited power, free the president
from any constraint by the court system. That's how it begins,
and then troops into the streets. And this is exactly

(34:27):
what people like Matt Walsh and certainly Miller are calling for.
And by escalating like this, by calling these judges legal insurrectionists,
by using this kind of incendiary language, you know, are
they inciting or suggesting maybe not inciting directly violence against

(34:53):
these judges. If the left broadly was respond well for
Charlie Cook's death, is the right, including Steven Miller, responsible
for the burning down of that judge's home in South Carolina.
Luckily nobody died in that boone, but it was very
close that had jump out of the second floor window. Somebody,

(35:19):
it is assumed, set that house on fire. Is Stephen Miller.
Does you want the violence? I think he does. I
think he wants violence. He does get left wing violence,
right wing violence. He just wants the violence because he
knows the violence creates the circumstances right which you.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
Can take more and more and more power.

Speaker 3 (35:41):
Never let never let a crisis go to waste. And
Stephen Miller is a student of that, he knows that well,
and he has no intention to let that go to waste. So, yes,
it is true that the house in South Carolinia. We
don't yet know if that was Austen or not.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
We'll wait and see. We'll wait and see.

Speaker 3 (36:04):
But if it was, is somebody gonna, you know, anybody
on the right take responsibility for it?

Speaker 1 (36:09):
Probably not? Probably not.

Speaker 3 (36:13):
Again, the judge that Stephen Miller called the legal insurrectionist
was a Trump appointee. All right, we you know, this
is the direction we're heading. This has been the direction
for a long time. It's getting worse. The rhetoric is
getting worse. The actions are getting worse. That the constant

(36:34):
appearance of Trump and Heckseth and everybody else in front
of military and talking politics in front of the military,
violating a long tradition of not politicizing the military, that
is getting worse.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
It really is, it really is, you know, bad.

Speaker 3 (36:54):
Stuff, bad stuff. So yeah, we will we will see.
We'll see what happens. So far, Trump has decided to

(37:18):
abide by court decisions.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
I mean mostly they kind of skirt at the edges.

Speaker 3 (37:25):
They cheat a little bit on the immigration stuff, but
mostly they follow what the quote has said. We'll see
if that continues, We'll see what kind of challenges they pose.
I think ultimately this is why they want to ferment violence,
because that will give them the excuse ultimately to put
troops into the into American cities, you know, in spite

(37:48):
of the courtes. So maybe under those circumstances, the courtes
will flip because it'll actually they will have created an emergency.
But we will see, we will see how it goes.

Speaker 4 (37:59):
Uh, all right, yeah, I so.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
On news from.

Speaker 3 (38:14):
Europe, this sounds like like the news from every week.
The French prime minister has resigned.

Speaker 1 (38:23):
This is uh. He he only was in.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
Office for less than a month. He had just put
his government together. They haven't even gone into their offices
and started and he's already resigned.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
So franc is with no government right now.

Speaker 3 (38:41):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
This is I.

Speaker 3 (38:43):
Think the the the greatest government is stability in France
since World War Two. Uh, France has not become like
Italy used to be, where governments flip constantly on a
regular basis.

Speaker 1 (38:58):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (38:59):
It's hard to tell what exactly Mccaonn is going to
do at this point appointing one more guy from the
center is just going to create exactly the same situation
where they're going to have to resign. If he goes
to somebody on the right to form a government, that
government might might be able to stand.

Speaker 1 (39:17):
But I don't think mccaughann actually wants to do that.
We will see.

Speaker 3 (39:21):
He could go to Jordan, well they are which from
the National Rally, which is Marie La Penn's a political party,
but he has you know, McConn has shown no interest
in actually doing that. He could call for another election,
but it's not sause the result would be any different.

(39:42):
The fact is that the it's the result of the
last time that he called the election, which was basically
a stand might between the right and the left with
the center being insignificant, which has brought about.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
This current situation.

Speaker 3 (40:00):
Or he could do the ultimate, which is an ultimate
would be uh, you know, to to resign and basically
trigger an election for president, not just an election for
for parliament. So we will see, we will see exactly

(40:24):
what happens. But it is it is looking bad for fans.
There seems to be no coherent strategy and uh fans
here don't appreciate, appreciate the prior comment.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
Not your dave, what you're getting at, not sure what
you're uh, what you're after.

Speaker 3 (40:51):
So you know it's gonna be it's gonna be interesting
to watch fans and to see does indeed fans go
the way of if you will the far right or not?
You know, are they going to be captured by the right.
Is that it's going to happen. It was going to

(41:13):
happen at some point anyway. But oh yeah, what he said, Okay,
not what I said. So that's in France. In Italy,
Italy is also not Italy.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
Oops.

Speaker 3 (41:26):
I didn't want to say Italy. I want to say Japan.
Japan has also faced a crisis. The ruling party basically
has a minority position in both houses of parliament. The
prime minister resigned as a consequence, and the.

Speaker 1 (41:43):
Ruling party is just dominated.

Speaker 3 (41:44):
Then new candidate for prime minister and for the first
time in Japanese history, for the first time in Japanese history,
the Prime Minister of Japan will be a woman. I
know that must shock some of you who think Japan
is the last bastion of of chauvinism, but it does
appear well it does appear. It is the fact that

(42:07):
Japan will be ruled by a woman. This woman is
from the conservative wing of the Japanese ruling party.

Speaker 1 (42:16):
She is very much anti immigration.

Speaker 3 (42:19):
She is pro building up a strong Japanese military to
stand up to the Chinese.

Speaker 1 (42:27):
She is not She is not a supportive of free markets.

Speaker 3 (42:34):
She is not a supportive of capitalism, as no conservative
is these days. That is not sexy, that is not popular.
So just like the rights in Europe which is not
free market, just like the right in America now, which
is not free market now, the right in Japan is.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
Not free market.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
So it's going to be interesting to see what she does,
how she governs, and what kind of prospects prospects.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
Japan has.

Speaker 3 (43:06):
Japan has of course faced economic challenges right now.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
For thirty plus years. It has struggled economically.

Speaker 3 (43:17):
It is stagnated to a large extent, and sadly, this
new prime minister doesn't seem like they are going to
make really any difference. They're going to double down on
the existing economic policies and kick out.

Speaker 1 (43:32):
A bunch of immigrants who are in Japan.

Speaker 3 (43:35):
But of course, part of economic growth in Japan going
into the future is going to be really dependent on immigration,
whether they like it or not. So they're going to
have a really really hard time paying for all those
old age benefits without importing at least some workforce given

(43:58):
their benefits arrangements.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
All right.

Speaker 3 (44:03):
Finally, there is a story published by The Economist a
few a couple of days ago that is making the
rounds on on Twitter. People are citing it and quoting
from it and reflecting on it, and uh, it's a
good article.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
So I wanted I wanted to mention this, and uh it's.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
The title of the article is how Europe crushes innovation,
How Europe crushes innovation.

Speaker 1 (44:36):
And there, of course many many ways.

Speaker 3 (44:38):
In which Europe crushes innovation, and this article focuses on
one one important way, and and it's it's particularly indicative,
and that is on labor laws.

Speaker 1 (44:50):
Labor rules in Europe make it very very difficult to
fire people.

Speaker 3 (44:54):
They make it very very difficult to restructure and to
do mass firing in companies.

Speaker 1 (45:03):
An article makes the point that you know I have
made for I don't know thirty forty years now.

Speaker 3 (45:16):
That that yes, when you make it hard to fire people,
you make it hard to hire people.

Speaker 1 (45:33):
And you want to make it.

Speaker 3 (45:35):
Hard to fire people. You make it very very hard
for businesses to take risks.

Speaker 1 (45:41):
Because they can't pivot, they can't change.

Speaker 3 (45:47):
Once they've hired people, they're locked into that group of people.
And if they want to invest in a new product
in a new area, in new innovation, and they're.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
Going to hire a bunch of people that but it
might fail in the US.

Speaker 3 (46:04):
If you're convinced that it's a good idea, you hire
the people, you invest in the resource, you try to innovate,
and when it fails, you fire everybody.

Speaker 1 (46:19):
And you shrink.

Speaker 3 (46:21):
But if you can't do that and your idea is well,
if the bench of fails, I'm stuck with all these people,
then you just don't innovate. It has this really good
cartoon on the front of an American with strapped with
like a rocket on his back launching off into kind

(46:43):
of into the sky, and the European in a suit
and tie with a briefcase with a massive ball right
with the EU flag on it shackle to its leg
make it impossible to him to go anywhere. Europe does
not innovate. It does not have cutting edge companies. It

(47:07):
has missed out on much of the technology boom for
the last thirty years and now has no prospects. When
it comes to AI, it is way left behind. And
when you look at innovations where America is not very
good at necessarily think about electric cars, batteries, things like that,
the Chinese have taken off and Europe is stuck.

Speaker 1 (47:30):
Europe is not innovating in anything. So I like the
way this starts.

Speaker 3 (47:41):
There are two ways for Western companies now meeting for
the article.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
To sack lots of people.

Speaker 3 (47:47):
The American one involves the boss inviting hundreds of unsuspecting
employees on a zoom call, offering them a few months
wages of seventh instancely wishing them luck in their future endeavors,
oh and to have their desks cleared by lunchtime.

Speaker 1 (48:04):
The European method is more secustious.

Speaker 3 (48:08):
Companies wanting to enact mass layoffs typically start with consultations
with unions, representatives of which sit on company boards.

Speaker 1 (48:15):
In Germany, a plan a social plan is drafted.

Speaker 3 (48:21):
Strikes inevitably ensure politicians get involved and badger the employer
into firing fewer people than it had originally planned, or
to pay for it soon to be ex staff to
be retained. The full cost of downsizing is only known
once labor courts are called to rule on.

Speaker 1 (48:41):
The matter years later.

Speaker 3 (48:43):
Meanwhile, the company question often cannot hire more employees lest
it be made to hire those who were just let go.
So if you fire people and you're going to go
hire people, you have to hire the people.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
You fired first.

Speaker 3 (49:00):
The article goes on to say the European system may
feel kinder. In fact, the cumbersome process of letting go
workers comes with hidden costs.

Speaker 1 (49:08):
Not so hidden.

Speaker 3 (49:09):
Actually, it is not just that they expense and hassle
of occasionally firing employees, wigs and firms long term profitability. Rather,
the shit difficulty of shredding staff and mass a reality
of corporate life, steers Europe's biggest companies away from making
risky bets in innovative fields, In particular investments in disruptive technologies.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
Disruptive breakthrough.

Speaker 3 (49:34):
Think of the kind of wizy products that mostly come
out of silicon value from artificial intelligence models to driver
less cause require the ability of big companies to hire
lots of staff then later fire most of them if
the project don't pan out. High restructuring costs in Europe
makes such investments unviable with a catastrophic knock on impact

(49:54):
on the continent's economy. It seems like Europe slowly, slowly,
reluctantly waking up to the fact that regulations actually have
a price, that this is really, really, really going to

(50:15):
be painful for them.

Speaker 1 (50:18):
Here's laid it down in the article.

Speaker 3 (50:21):
For decades, Europe did fine with its incremental but likely
to play to pay off innovation model. Century old firms
show they're still money to be made in developing a
slightly better tire or a faster train, but in recent
years there are awards flowing to companies making bold better
Balloon tech firms that pursued disruptive innovation have turned into

(50:44):
trillion dollar be homes. None of them are in Europe.
In Vidia, an American chip maker, is worth more.

Speaker 1 (50:51):
Listen to this.

Speaker 3 (50:52):
In Vidia is worth more than the European Union's twenty
biggest listed companies combined.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
Combined.

Speaker 3 (51:04):
Some of that may be a bubble who's popping mace
blat American business, but lacking companies in such superstar sectors
is one reason why output power worked by Europeans has
slumped in comparison with America. In recent decades and why
work as in America relatively speaking, a rich and in

(51:25):
Europe they're not somebody. Paul Graham, I think, pointed out
that in the cartoon, one of the things that is indicative,
even though the article doesn't talk about it, is the
fact that the American entrepreneur with the rockets on his
back is wearing shorts and a T shirt basically, and
that the European is wearing a suit and tie. And

(51:45):
he says, this too is indicative of a different mentality
the bureaucrat. The European businessman is more of a bureaucrat.
The American entrepreneur thinks outside the box. Let's interested in appearance,
more interested in results. I think that's absolutely right. This

(52:10):
is my whole point about dress codes.

Speaker 1 (52:11):
Right. So, yeah, maybe Europe is waking up.

Speaker 3 (52:17):
There be now a number of different papers studies on
how to make Europe more competitive that it basically urged
Europe to become less regulated. We'll see if they take
this seriously and if anything actually gets done.

Speaker 1 (52:35):
How to believe? How to believe?

Speaker 3 (52:37):
But Europe is horrible, and from that perspective, from other perspectives,
the United States right now is horrible. It's very difficult
to know where to go these days. The world is
not in good shape, not in good shape at all.
All right, that is the news from Monday, October sixth.

(52:58):
We will continue with the news for the rest of
the week on a daily basis.

Speaker 1 (53:04):

the website and UH and sign up and have a
chat with somebody from the office.

Speaker 1 (56:03):
And finally, Alex Epstein. Alex is you know, the world
expert on anything to do with energy.

Speaker 3 (56:11):
Right now, energy is the biggest issue, biggest issue out there.
I mean, the amount of energy that these AI facilities
are going to require is just astronomical. I don't know
that anybody really has a grip on it. And where
all this energy is going to come from. We're going
to need to build massive numbers of natural gas plants,

(56:35):
nuclear power plants, other plants, and we're gonna have to
do it very quickly because these things are going to
come online soon. And if we don't build those extra plants.
They're going to suck up all the electricity, and you
and I, all of us, our alexrisity bills are going
to go through the roof, through the roof. When demand
goes up, the supply is capped, prices move and the

(57:02):
big air companies can pay higher prices.

Speaker 1 (57:04):
Can you?

Speaker 3 (57:06):
So to find out more about what's going on, how
it's being dealt with, what the solutions are, check out
alex Epstein subseat dot com is the world expert on
this stuff and got to foot in the door in
the Trumpet administration, so he knows what they're thinking.

Speaker 1 (57:21):
He knows what's going on over there.

Speaker 3 (57:27):
All right, All right, not a lot of questions, So
this is going to go pretty quickly.

Speaker 1 (57:36):
But if you'd like to ask.

Speaker 3 (57:37):
Us a question, if you'd like to support the show,
please jump in and do so, all right, Ryan, Ryan says,
have you observed any prominent voices on the right calling
out Taka and Owen racist dog whistles and antisemitic rhetoric?

(57:58):
Have you observed any prominent voices on the right calling
al Taka and Owen's racist dog whistles and anti Semitic graetorics?

Speaker 1 (58:04):
Shouldn't the Christian.

Speaker 3 (58:05):
Nationalists distance themselves from these lunatics.

Speaker 1 (58:10):
I mean there are some, there are a few, but
not many.

Speaker 3 (58:15):
I've seen Ted Kruz go after Tucker Cosson recently, and
there are a few others, but not that much. And
you know, I you assume that the Christian nationalists are
not lunatics. But Christian nationalism is a lunatic ideology. It's
a crazy anti American ideology. And I think you would
you would expect people, you know, with that ideology, two.

Speaker 1 (58:43):
With that ideology, you.

Speaker 3 (58:46):
Know, you'd expect you'd expect them to some of them
at least to support Tucker and Owen, And if not,
you'd expect many of them just to ignore them because
they'd be afraid of aliening. You know, a lot of
their support is ultimately the support for Christian nationalism comes.
I think it overlaps quite a bit with the kind
of people who watch Tuckah and watch Candice own. Christian

(59:11):
nationalism as compared to what is compared to Christians, not Jews,
not atheists, not so anti Semitism is not that fall
into them. So no, you know, you're not seeing massive
voices out there condemning them and postially because they realize

(59:32):
just the size of the audiences that both Tucka and
Candiceon have. And I don't think I don't think people
fully appreciate because it's easy to write them off. Is
just nuts and crazy and evil and bad. But I
don't think people appreciate how large the audiences are. And

(59:54):
you can't just write it off. Given the size of
the audiences. Millions of people listen to them, and we
better take them a lot more seriously than we are,
because I watched the videos and this is this is
just ridiculous. These these people are not worth commenting on
because they're so stupid and and so crazy, not just stupid,

(01:00:15):
but crazy, and yet they are because they have these
massive audiences.

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
John, thank you for the.

Speaker 3 (01:00:25):
For the stick. I really appreciate it. All right, Ryan,
like the show. The algorithm demands your compliance. Yes, please
like the show.

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
Like it. Like it, Press the like button. It really
really helps.

Speaker 3 (01:00:38):
The algorithm really helps with the algorithm, all right. Michael
left us at tax on Mega won't work. It's going
to take leadership from the right to chip away at MAGA.
But there is no leadership on the right. There's nothing.
Zilts is not a just no leadership on the right,
and that people who tried of all failed in the

(01:01:00):
Goldberg's of the world, they've all failed, you know, So
no leadership on the right ain't happening, Michael says, will
you be optimistic if the Democrats sweep the House and
Senate into twenty twenty sixteen twenty twenty six, will that
be the beginning of the end of of the fascist phenomena?

Speaker 1 (01:01:21):
Well, I mean, it will sure help.

Speaker 3 (01:01:22):
It will be a claimunication of the American people that
they don't accept Trump's agenda. It'll be a repudiation of
that agenda. I don't know that it's going to happen.
It's going to be very difficult for a public for
Democrats to capture the Senate. They might be able to
capture the House, but there's no enthusiasm for Democrats among Americans.

(01:01:45):
So the only way that happens if there's Americans are
so fed up with Trump they use this as a
vote against them. I think that's fairly unlikely that it
happens in big enough numbers to mean anything. But you know,

(01:02:05):
if Democrats control their House, they can at least distract Trump.
And again I don't think they can control the Center.
It would be good if they could for a little while,
but I don't think they can, you know, so Republicans
will still have the center, will still be able to
pass their nominees.

Speaker 1 (01:02:26):
Put them into place.

Speaker 3 (01:02:29):
Yeah, I think a massive win is very unlikely, partially
because of how just deifiably unpopular the Democrats are.

Speaker 1 (01:02:38):
Michael in the early.

Speaker 3 (01:02:39):
Nineteen forties Germany, few people saw the possibility of Hitler
being defeated. How do you see Trump and MAGA unwinding
or being defeated. Well, I mean, one plus is that
Trump is old, and so much of the phenomena around
Trump is a personality cult. So it is there's a

(01:03:03):
good chance that he doesn't run in twenty twenty eight,
and if for somebody else has to step in. And
let's say there's a number of mega candidates and they
all fight each other and splinter the movement, and that
weakens it significantly, and maybe a more reasonable candidate manages
to sneak in in spite of that. Right now, there

(01:03:25):
already a lot of infighting within MAGA. Look at Laura
Luma going after Marjorie Taylor Green and they're fighting constantly.
So yeah, I mean it's it's it's going to be.
The one chance we have is that MAGA just splinters.

(01:03:45):
It's the infighting. The infighting basically kills it. I think
that's probably the best chance we have. Tessa, did you
mention that you will be doing a show about art influence?
Thank you for all that you do. I did members
only show. I will I will do that, not you
exactly exactly. When again, this covid h the bed, you know,

(01:04:13):
knocking me out and placing me in bed has uh
has made any planning very very difficult. It's also true that,
as I think I told you, I'm traveling every week,
every single week and mainly on the weekends from now
until Thanksgiving. So again that is going to make it

(01:04:33):
very difficult to do these additional shows.

Speaker 1 (01:04:35):
But I am going to try.

Speaker 3 (01:04:39):
Catherine says, what is your opinion on Austrian economics? Which
scholars work would you recommend. I'm a huge fan of
Oscaran economics. I think ultimately Austrian economics properly understood is
the right is the right economics. It's about as true
as economics has gotten, you know, I like the original

(01:05:00):
Austrians primarily mesas of on Mesas. I also like coll
Manga and vom Bawk. Of their more current Austrians, I
really like Israel Kutzner, but there were a.

Speaker 1 (01:05:15):
Lot of them.

Speaker 3 (01:05:15):
There were a lot of a lot of economists out
there influenced by Austrians and Austrian economists. There's a whole
young generation out there, some of whom I've talked to
on the show, like like like Magnus, who are who
are quite good and I would recommend so I'm a
huge fan of Austian economics, except that they dabble into anarchism,

(01:05:39):
which I think is really bad.

Speaker 1 (01:05:42):
But of course miss didn't Andrew.

Speaker 3 (01:05:44):
No matter how much collectivist attempts to blind us quote,
the fragment about which they speak does not exist.

Speaker 1 (01:05:54):
Only man exists unquote.

Speaker 3 (01:05:56):
That's from objectivism is the first true philosophy for man
and the singular. Yes, it's the first true philosophy, first
true philosophy for man. Yeah, Michael, why haven't we seen

(01:06:16):
any Trump Omega type figures in Europe? Are Europeans better
educated about nationalism and fascism? They know not about nationalism,
educated about them. They know not to start down the path.
I mean, what are you talking about? The the the original.

Speaker 1 (01:06:31):
Maga is in Hungary, Auban.

Speaker 3 (01:06:34):
Auban is the original Maga Putin if you can't Putin
as Europe. Putin is of course a mega character out
of Central casting. You've got the guy in in Slovakia,
I forget his name right now, but the Slovakian Prime
Minister is definitely a mega like Trump type pro Putin,

(01:06:58):
anti anti West uh. And then you've got you've got
all these right wing political movements in Germany and France,
in Spain, in the Netherlands, that again in Scandinavia, they're
gaining power. They not they haven't yet reached a point
where they can run a government, but they're certainly gaining

(01:07:21):
influence and gaining significant and gaining members. So Europe is
I mean, look at and look at look at what's
his name in in the UK, Nigel Faraj is very
much a Trump like Maga like character. So now quite
the opposite, Europe is filled with him. Michael again, will

(01:07:42):
you be interviewing Jason Ryins this far? Really curious to
hear his assessment of Trump so far? Yes, I'm sure
I will be. I don't have anything planned, As I
said earlier, this COVID has thrown me for a loop.
So I'm not very I haven't been very organized around this.
But we will start in viewing in the weeks to come,
and it might have to be delayed until I get

(01:08:03):
back from all my travels. It might be only in
late novemberly December, but we will say. Wesley thought, thought
on the Trump administration beating out Argentina twenty billion to
help out with minor US trading partner seems odda for
the America first presidency.

Speaker 1 (01:08:24):
It's not odd, it's wrong. It's bad.

Speaker 3 (01:08:28):
It's bad for Melay that he needs a bailout. It's
bad for the US to provide it. But it's not
odd at all. You know, anybody who sucks up to Trump,
who's nice to Trump, you know, is going to be rewarded.
And this is true of business, the Cituring politics, and
the Centurian international affairs. And Milaya's being super friendly to Trump.

(01:08:50):
So he's going to get a bailout.

Speaker 1 (01:08:53):
And look, Trump is Trump. It's not that Trump can
identify the good guys.

Speaker 3 (01:09:01):
He had a phone call this morning with Lula, Lula,
the really evil, really bad president of Brazil, and Trump
came away from that phone call. Oh, it was great,
so friendly, really good conversation.

Speaker 1 (01:09:15):
We'll have more.

Speaker 3 (01:09:16):
We're gonna do good things with Brazil and so on.
I mean, the guy has no standards, no principles, and
will sell up. But it's really really bad that the
US is doing this. You know, Trump is not America first.
He's never been America first. He doesn't believe in America first.
He's whatever he feels like being. He'll do whatever he

(01:09:39):
feels like doing. There's no get away from the idea
that there's some principle, some guidance as to what he does.

Speaker 1 (01:09:48):
There isn't. It's just whatever it feels like. Whatever comes.

Speaker 3 (01:09:53):
Paul to your health and watch out for long COVID.
Thank you, Paul, I appreciate it. I don't know how
you watch out for it. Either happens or he doesn't.

Speaker 1 (01:10:02):
Gail.

Speaker 3 (01:10:02):
Trump seems to be ramping up his emotional rage, seems
to be getting him what he wants, ultimate power. Well,
I don't know if he wants ultimate power. I think
some of the people around him want them more than
he does. He just wants to be able to go
after the people he wants to be able to go after.
He wants to have the military out there because it's macho.

(01:10:24):
I think his needs are pretty simple. He's not an
ambitious dictator. That's not who Trump is. And Trump himself
is not a fascist. I think I think these other
people are. He's just whatever, He's just nothing. But yeah,
I think his rage. He's not completely stable. You can

(01:10:50):
see that in the way he talks and what he says.
He's not completely with us. He's seventy eight ys and
it's getting to him and it's the people around him
that's scammy. Linda would love to chat to you about

(01:11:11):
cause they find art. Sponsoring YBS sounds good.

Speaker 1 (01:11:15):
We should chat.

Speaker 3 (01:11:17):
Flesh And are you aware of any objective's party or
something similar there? The Capitalist Party that the capitalist Party
that's out there, just such capitalist party and they have
a website and a platform and all of that.

Speaker 1 (01:11:32):
But there's no I mean, not of people would vote
for you.

Speaker 3 (01:11:37):
There's nothing actionable because we have too little influence and
too small of a voice. But check out the American
Capitalist Party. Lose Cinda any plans to Jason Ryan's on
again anytime soon. Been watching his contlectures while working through
excerpts from a textbook on content. Yes, as I said,

(01:12:01):
I'm sure I'll have Jason on. So exactly when I
don't know, but I will have him on. Are you
a fan of ragtime music? I mean I like ragtime music?
Do I would I call myself a fan?

Speaker 1 (01:12:17):
Probably not.

Speaker 3 (01:12:17):
I don't seek it out, but when I hear it, Yeah,
it's enjoyable.

Speaker 1 (01:12:21):
I enjoy it. I like it.

Speaker 3 (01:12:25):
And yeah, I understand what's the lamp peacock doing a
lecture on ragtime music or something like that, So yeah,
it's it was the music from the Sting. Rob Redford
just died, so it reminded me of the Sting and
the rag time music and the Sting that was good music, Robin.

(01:12:49):
Many see illegal immigrants as breaking the law, leading to
some level of support for Trump and Ice.

Speaker 1 (01:12:55):
What efforts are you aware.

Speaker 3 (01:12:57):
Of the channel to change the immigration process to lure
more legal immigration. Well then none, zero, zilch. Quite the
opposite legal immigration. They're making it harder. They've you know,
they've increased the price you have to pay for H
one B to one hundred thousand dollars. So they're trying
to kill the H one B program. And there's no movement,

(01:13:21):
zero movement to make other paths of legal immigration easier, better,
a smoother legal immigration into the United States is an
unmitigated nightmare right now, and this administration is making it.

Speaker 1 (01:13:34):
Worse, not better.

Speaker 3 (01:13:37):
Whether people resent to legal immigrants or not legal immigration,
there's no constituency.

Speaker 1 (01:13:44):
For much more legal immigration.

Speaker 3 (01:13:49):
All right, that went fast, but that's good. I'm still
trying to say my voice. Thank you, guys. I let's
see I will see you guys tomorrow at about the
same time. I will be gone for the weekend and
then gone for the following weekend as well, So traveling, traveling.

Speaker 1 (01:14:13):
As I said quite a bit. In the weeks to come.

Speaker 3 (01:14:17):
November, I'm going to be doing a debate against the
Socialist in Colorado Springs, Colorado, So hopefully if you live.

Speaker 1 (01:14:24):
In the area, you'll come out and join the debate.

Speaker 3 (01:14:29):
There'll be more information about that on my website, you
on bookshow dot com.

Speaker 1 (01:14:33):
All right, guys, I will see you all tomorrow. Thank you,
