Speaker 1 (00:02):
A lot of themths of Red, last Little and an
individual loss. This is the show. All right, everybody, welcome
to you. One book show on this uh Tuesdaycember ninth.

(00:26):
That everybody is having a good start to your week.
Uh and uh, things are going well. Let's see what
I want to tell you. Yeah, I did an interview
the other day yesterday, I think like yesterday, maybe it's
yesterday with Human Progress human Progress dot com and uh,

(00:52):
they do work on human progres with Human Success. And
we did the interview on basically on uh, the kind
of Steve Well Walsh's kind of view. It's not Stephen
what am I talking about? Walsh's view that everything is worse,
everything is terrible. And the videos, you know, doing really well.

(01:14):
I think it's a really good interview. You know, I
got to talk about the philosophical underpinnings of of the
of the Matt Walsh, Thank you God, Matt Walsh. We've
got to talk about the philosophical underpinning of kind of
the new right or the alt rights pessimism. And it was,

(01:39):
it was fat, it was, it was good. It was
a good interviewer, good interview. It's on a bunch of
different platforms. You can get on next. You can also
see it on YouTube and I think on their website.
It streams on their website. The good news is I
get excited by this. Was that today or yesterday? Actually

(02:02):
Stephen Pinker retweeted it, so that got a lot of
views I think, or it got a lot of commentary.
The other thing they do they did in Human Progress
is that you've got a whole transcript of it. So
the whole transcript of it is is is listed there,
so a lot of people might be reading it rather
than rather than watching it. But you know, Pinker's retweet

(02:28):
was fantastic and U he called me a libertarian, So
what I mean, there worse things you could call me,
as as I'll point out in a few minutes, they
are much much worse things that you could call me.
It's sad that he calls me a libertarian, but I
can't blame him for doing that. I mean, what is
what does Stephen Pinker know? He is not in a

(02:49):
position to differentiate between objectivists and libertarians. That's our jobs
that our job is to do. And and objectivism is
not big enough, prevalent, in enough common enough out there
in the culture for people to see the difference, recognize
the difference, you know, and and and reflect the difference

(03:12):
there human progress. Guy is a libertarian for for what
it's worth. I mean, he defines himself as a libertarian.
So it is great. It got a lot of people
to view it. And I like Stephen Pinka. He's one
of the good guys. Uh So that is that is
good that that he did that? All right? What else?

(03:38):
I think that's all I had to tell you in
terms of just stuff off record. But but yeah, go
watch the video. I think you'll enjoy it. So and
and by watching the video, you the councill go up
and and maybe that don't courage people to to invite
me more to their podcasts and their various shows. All right,

(04:03):
much bigger than any interview I have done. It was
ever done really ever by far was Piers Morgan's interview
of Nick foyints. I think it was yesterday last I
saw it had over two million views. I think that's
just on YouTube. I think it's probably got many many, many,

(04:25):
many many more views, and clips of it are circulating
in each one of the clip has about it has
about a million views, so we're talking about millions and
millions of views for this for this interview Piers Morgan
interviewing Nick FOYINTIS And you know, I'll tell you I

(04:45):
think it's a it's it's a horrible, horrible mistake for
somebody like Piers Morgan to interview for Intis. But but
let me first say that, I mean, I'll give Piers
Morgan credit for this. I'm not going to give him
much credit, but I'm getting give him credit for this.
That is that Piers Morgan didn't just do softballs. He

(05:08):
actually challenged him on real issues, showed him clips racism,
anti Semitism, thinking Hitler's cool, uh, and a you know,
attitude to his blacks, and a bunch of other things,
a bunch of other things. So he really did he
really did a push Nick for Inis on these issues.

(05:31):
And I guess that's to his credit given that attacker
Carson didn't just gave him softball after softball. Stephen Crowder,
that was a pathetic interview of again softball after softball.
And then you know, Stephen Crowder did a commentary on
the PS for Intis interview while watching the videos, and

(05:55):
he backed four Interest throughout he was he was supporting
Foy intas throughout the whole thing, so at least Piers
was willing to challenge foyntess on his views. The problem
is that it serves no purpose, no function, other than

(06:19):
to give credibility to Nick Foantis. The whole interview is
a way to elevate the profile of Nick Foyantus. Now
a bunch of people who might have never heard of him,
who probably didn't know he existed, now you know, had
to be exposed to him. You know, some percentage of

(06:43):
them might even be attracted to him and might pursue
his channel. I think viewership of Nick Foitus's stuff, I'm
sure has gone through the roof since Tucker Carlson interviewed him,
and a bunch of others interviewed him and his in
the mainstream media all over the place, and everybody's talking
about him, including me, I guess all because these mainStreet

(07:09):
so called mainstream people are sanctioning him, are giving him
a platform, are giving him a stage to spout his vile, stupid,
ridiculous ideas. And here's the thing. While Franis's ideas are
violent stupid, Frantis is not stupid. Frantis is smart. Frantis

(07:34):
is smart. He's definitely a lot smarter than Piers Morgan.
Frantis knows what he's doing. Piers Morgan does not. What
was the purpose that Piers Morgan set out for himself
in interviewing Nick foyandees to show that he's a racist?

(07:55):
Nick Frantis admits it openly to show these anti semitic
and Nick just shrugs it off and denies it. Denis's
antisemitic and uh, Denis's a Holocaust Denia and claims everything
they related to that was a joke to show that

(08:15):
he's a misogynist, you know. For Just admits that he
has no problem. He has an exchange between Morgan and Frantis,
You're not gay, Frantis says no, but women are very
difficult to be around. Uh. Perce Morgan says this is
a got you question? Should they vote? Frani says no,

(08:39):
they should stay at home. For Just says, yeah, so
you're a misogynist dinosaur. Have you ever had sex? And
for Intan says no, And Piers Morgan thinks he's really
got him because he says, wow, this, you know, says
the man who never got laid. That is you've got
opinion about women and though you haven't got late, but

(09:02):
you know, fus comes across as yeah, I mean it's
an apponent set of ideas. But his audience is like, yeah,
somebody said on the Piers Morgan show, never being said before,
the women shouldn't vote. They take it as a victory.
And what did we learn? The Nick Foyintis hates women.

(09:25):
I mean, anybody who knows anything about Nick Fointis knows that,
and everybody else doesn't need to know that because Nick
Foyintis is irrelevant to them, And the only way Nick
Foyintis is going to become relevant is that people like
Piers Morgan make irrelevant by introducing him to the world,
interviewing him thinking they got getches. Pierce didn't know what

(09:52):
to do, so, you know, he says, are you euracist?
And Appointed says, yeah, everybody's a racist. You know, I'm
you know, I'm a He says, I'm a race realist
because I'm realistic about race and I'm realistic about people,
you know, being a little bit racist. Everybody's a little
bit racist, nicko intesses, and you can see a lot

(10:13):
of people going yeah, and he goes on about you know,
most crimes in America committed by blacks, and Piers Morgan
gets all upset and he says, well, school shootings, mass
school shootings are committed by whites. And it's like, you know,

(10:33):
what's the point of that? I mean, I mean, Fantis
wins on that point, right, because Piers Morgan has tried
to deny reality. It's the question of what do you
do with that? What conclusion do you come from that?
How do you behave as a consequences of that? Which
is the question, not the fact. The fact is true.

(10:57):
So sadly, you know, Foe just uses this opportunity to
kind of, you know, in a sense, make fun of
you know, when when Nepis Morgan asked him abou whether
six million were killed in the Holocaust, for Inti is
more than six million, probably seven million. Six million is
a low ball figure. And and nobody knows if he's

(11:19):
joking or if he's telling the truth, or what exactly
he thinks. And for Intis doesn't care because it's not
about the truth. It's not about what he thinks, but
it's about a general nihilistic, hateful agenda. That's what he's about.
So what are you gonna get a nihilist? What are
you gonna get somebody who's hateful? What are you gonna

(11:40):
get somebody? Oh he says something hummable. Well, but that's
his whole stick, his whole stick. Everything about Nick Foyantis
is about saying hubbable stuff. So what what's what's the point? Like,
the only the only thing that you could try to
achieve in an interview like this, if you were going
to do it's to show the Nick Foes is a nihilist,

(12:06):
and to show that, you know, in in in in
kind of concrete terms, you know, force him into a
corner of of of saying things that reveal his real
kind of political intellectual you know purpose, you know, And

(12:28):
I don't know how you do that. It would be
difficult to do that. It's not easy to do that.
But that's not what Morgan. You know, he showed him
to be crude and a racist and a misogynist, and
and you know, you know, he denied the anti semitism,
but okay, you know, who knows if if if you

(12:49):
agree with him or not, and and uh he said
some other horrible stuff and they got into an argument
about Nick Fotis's father and but nothing that nothing that
anybody who cared couldn't have found out very very easily,
and you platformed him in front of now two million

(13:09):
views in fifteen hours. According to Pierce Mugen's Twitter account,
he's very proud of this interview and he keeps touting
its success because he got a lot of views, and
you know, most of the comments under the reviews were

(13:30):
supportive of of you know, Fuentes Fantis went on the
whole thing about Catholic, being Catholic, what Catholic doctrine requires,
and even though Pierce claims to be a Catholic, he
didn't understand what he was doing. He didn't understand what
for Intus was talking about, because for Intis is again
more intelligent and knows what he's trying to do. He's

(13:54):
and he knows who his audience is. He knows who's
playing to and who is Piers playing. The thing about
Frantice is to point out that he has nothing positive,
nothing positive to offer human beings. That he is a

(14:18):
collectivist and a tribalist, an emotionalist who has no positive
values for anybody to pursue. He is a cynic, a nihilist,
and yes, part of that when he thinks it's fun
to do he's a racist and a misogynist and anti Semite,

(14:41):
and he admires Hitler when he thinks it's fun to
do it, and Piers was like, you'd my hitline. He says, yeah,
he's cool, and Piers is like, you know, he killed
twelve million people, and he says, yeah, but he's cool. Yeah,
he has these cool uh you know, uniforms, and he
does these cool public events and at cool look text
you cool, here's cool. And what does Pierce do about that?

(15:05):
I mean, it's the same, by the way as Curtis
Yavin that I showed you the clip the other day
of Curtis Yaovin saying that what turned him on, what
redpeled him, what made him realize that everything around in
the world was something that was really wrong in the world,
was when he saw this video of images of decadence
in the West, just opposed against Nazis, well dressed Nazis

(15:27):
in the uniforms. I mean, you have to be really
sick and depraved to take that as the alternative homeless
people in the streets of San Francisco defecating in the
streets or Nazi uniforms and Nazis in uniforms, Nazis who

(15:49):
mostly died because they leader sent him into a war.
They you know, they were killed him. That's somehow good,
that's somehow positive. So you've got to show the nihilism.

(16:09):
You've got to show the positive values. What are you
living for? What values should we pursue? What kind of what? What? What?
What would be? What would be the program to implement
your ideas? Nick? What do we actually do? And then
you can show how empty and content less and stupid

(16:32):
and there's nothing there. There literally is nothing there. So
uh yeah, I mean, I hope I'm hopeful that, but

(16:53):
I bet I doubt this will happen. I'm hopeful that.
You know, this is this is it? You know that
this is like the peak fluents, right, doesn't get bigger
than this peak foys. You know, at this point everybody
knows who he is, so he gets the followers that
he gets. He doesn't attract any new people. You know,

(17:15):
before all this attention, a significant proportion of the people
following nifos well all kinds of bots. I don't know
if a majority, but a significant number of them were
just bots from all kinds of places other than the
United States, and now a lot of people are following him,

(17:36):
a lot of people know he is, and this is it.
Hopefully it dies here, and hopefully, you know, the show
dies and his appeal dies, or it gets relegated to
that corner of the internet where these widows and creeps
and horrible people actually reside. Sadly, I don't think that's

(17:57):
going to happen. And one of the reasons I don't
think that's gonna happen is because I just got like,
I just got like. I did a post commenting on
another post, a post on on on something I told
you about this post about this contractor complaining about illegal

(18:19):
immigrants and about them taking jobs and now the ICE
is going after them and arresting them. How much more
jobs he's getting on, how much more money he can
make and so on, and how good it is, Well,
I might post. I posted this with a comment. You know,
I reposted with a comment, Americans, a fate of competition

(18:41):
is pathetic and un American, and it's like, I open
up the doors to hell. Unbelievable. The response to me,
as of a few minutes ago, you know, nine hundred
and twenty four comment I don't know if I've ever

(19:02):
got more than that. That might be the most commented
comments I've ever made on Twitter. On acts, I will say,
you know, they're two hundred and eleven likes and eighty
five retweets, so you know that's something. Maybe I've got
a little bit of support out there. But nine hundred
and twenty four comments all of wos You know, I

(19:25):
could say anti but horrific, horrific anywhere from you know,
some semi reasonable kind of stuff, like like competition is
always welcome. How do you all liberals, I'm a liberal,

(19:46):
of course, say it equality. You're not competing when the
others has no license, insurance, doesn't participate in the taxing system,
and their prices reflected being you know, all of that
being underbid and and all this. Okay, So I say,
if if if all that is really well, wiries you,
then let's legalize them? And uh, then it says, what

(20:10):
do you mean let's legalize them? Are you saying you
want to bring more people to Puerto Rico? They discovered
that I'm from Puerto Rico because it's in It's in
my my my now, it's in twittered description and and
this became a big issue that I'm from Puerto Rico. Right.
It's it's as if are some from some you know,

(20:31):
uh uh, some third world country and have no say
in America. They don't know Puerto Rican's American citizens say
they have no clue. I mean, these people are are
really stupid. Uh you know, I I said, somewhere else
and legalize them, and uh yeah. And then you get,

(20:53):
does that mean Jews afraid of competition from non Jews
since they won't let you in if you are Jewish.
I assume that relates to Israel. So a lot of
anti Semites came out. Then somebody just said you're going
to jail. And then when I said I'm not, then
he says, no, you'll flee to Israel before that, and

(21:14):
I said, no, I'm here to stay, and he said, uh,
we'll see. There's always the ovens otherwise, subtle, subtle, you know,
subtle quote, you know, fluents kind of humor, oven humor. Right,

(21:35):
let's see. Uh yeah. Another one said, uh, the lion
does not concern himself with the opinion of a Jew. Right,
we got some of those. And then this guy says,
I'm curious if Americans came to Puerto Rico by the

(21:57):
millions and under cut the wages to unsustainable levels and
displace them if they feel like cowards for wanting us removed,
not realizing Puerto Rico is part of America and Puerto
Ricans are Americans, so it doesn't quite work that way.
But you know, that's that's that's the way you are.
And he says, you're used territory. You're not a citizen.

(22:19):
You can own your citizens you in a variety of ways. No,
that's just not true. The ignorances is big among these people.
Let me see if there's any other ones worth you know.

(22:40):
Then there were just the the the straight out insults.
You know, we know, we just want a competition with
actual Americans. Competition with actual Americans, is okay? Right? Oh,
somebody call me a faggot with lots of teas. I'm

(23:01):
not sure what that means. And like that was retreated
many many times, as if that was the that was
the response of the decade. Yes, that was it, That's
exactly what it is. Of course, everybody posted, i mean
dozens posted open bois for Israel as well, over and

(23:24):
over and over again, as if that is a that
is a legitimate response to anything. Uh do you say things?
Same thing for Israelis who hold anti immigration views. You
know I do to a large extent. And uh oh

(23:45):
I got a lot of this. We're going to deport you.
So so they're going to deport me, They're gonna send
me out of the country. I am gone. Yeah, we
shouldn't need to compete with the entire world for domestic jobs. Huh,

(24:06):
you shouldn't. I didn't know that. You shouldn't need to
compete with the entire world. Only need to compete with
people who have officially a passport. And if people can
make better things overseas and cheaper things over sieves, yeah,
you know, we we can't compete with them. So we're
just gonna build walls. No trade, no immigrants, We're just
gonna build walls and compete among ourselves. You know. I mean,

(24:30):
that's the level of ignorance and stupidity that people have
have gotten to. Uh you on, you have to go back.
This is part of the deporting people who want to
send me back. A bunch of them. Oh this was

(24:51):
another one. Uh, illegal immigrants as slaves or we don't
want to exploit slaves, right, we don't want to exploit them.
It's literally slavery. This is like the Civil War. We're
trying to liberate the slaves. And I was like, okay,
I'm all for that. How about we make them citizens right?

(25:14):
And then they freaked out and then they lost it completely.
They lose it completely if you if you point that out, yeah,
we need to send all us, all these to Israel.
It's that that repeated itself a few times Somalis and Israel.
A number of people asking what where my name Uran

(25:36):
comes from. All they had to do was google me
and they could find out. Those who did came back
with the anti Semitic stuff. Those who didn't only looked
at my Twitter profile came back with the anti Puerto
Rican stuff. I can't win, can't win. When one guy
even tried to quote the TUMU to me the opinion

(25:58):
of a foreigner, so I guess it doesn't count. But
I'm not a fan. I'm an American. And then people
just posted account based in Puerto Rico that offered obviously
disqualifies somebody talk about racist bastards. You know, just because
you're from Puerto Rico means you can't have an opinion,
and your opinion is worthless if you do. Yep, all right,

(26:25):
you're a podcaster. You probably never worked a day in
your life. The labor dumping that is tearing apart my
generation will stop. Yeah, civil engineer worked on construction sites.
Maybe engineering doesn't count as work. You know, I don't
think my contractors would have agreed exactly. But yeah, podcasting

(26:47):
is a work. I you know, I know it doesn't
appear that way. I just come up and speak and
talk to you guys. But you know, it turns out
podcasting is actually a work, actually work. They have to
pay taxes. They don't pay taxes. That's just not true.
Legal immigrants do pay taxes. That's that's how they get
around the system. That's why we have all those fake

(27:09):
SOID security numbers. They're paying even so security taxes. It's
that bad. Free market capitalism is ultimately anti human, all right,
At least we know where they stand. And then you know,
this guy's Scott. It's a different Scott, not al Scott.
Different Scouts says, are you Jewish globalists get the bullets first?

(27:34):
I guess that's a threat. Should I let Twitter know? Yeah,
it's a traitorous and greedy to expect American workers to
compete against peasant surf and oh, slave labor hero overseas.
That's right, build the walls. Let's become self sufficient, poor,

(27:57):
but self sufficient. Everything will be marry made. Another one,
are you Jewish? This one's not, Scott, go compete in
your own country. This is my country. Somebody else says,
I think you'd be happier in Israel. No, I wouldn't

(28:18):
be happier him. Don't tell Americans what we are, okay,
I am an American. No, And then Theodore just goes
right to the point he says, one would all caps
jew Obviously, that disqualifies me from having an opinion. This is,

(28:39):
you know, really ugly. That's a kike? Is another one
you detected? Is another one? Send them to Israel? You know,
it's wow, It is quite amazing. And hundreds of these right, hundreds, hundreds, hundreds,
nine hundred and sixty two comments, almost all of them,

(29:00):
ninety nine point nine percent of them like this, like this.
And my guess is, you know, it's how to tell
who these people are. I mean, they might be bots,
but my guess there's a lot of them are you know,

(29:22):
you know, the kind of nik foyenttis fans, so national socialists,
that's basically what they are, because a lot of them
advocate for socialism. This one says in white genocide, you
are sick, cowardly villain white genocide happening in America. I
didn't know that. I didn't know that. I didn't know

(29:44):
some of them are bots. But if you look, you know,
you can look out the profile and you can see
where they come from. And you know, most of them
are coming in the United States. So bots are typically
from outside the United States. It's interesting it doesn't tell
you where in the United States they're farm but uh,
you know, one guy just said Boomer. I guess that

(30:05):
that is the ultimate insult is go away. Booma is
another guy. I'm a Boomer Jew from Puerto Rico who
used to live in Israel and has dual citizenship. I
think that basically makes me like the most evil person
on a planet Earth, like doctor evil. So some of

(30:29):
them are just ignorant of economics, you know, some of
them you just don't understand what competition actually means. But
most of them are just just disgusting, hullable. Uh, you know,
just just holloable. Human beings. That it goes a lot

(30:51):
beyond ignorance. It it it it is about anti Semitism
and race and uh and uh just bigoted, horrible, angry,
I mean, disgusting. And my guess is most of my

(31:12):
young uh and yes, some of them. Yeah, there's there's
more Jew noises. And there's a picture of Hitler. You're
sure I killed six million Jews. They ate up here.
He's in heaven. Hitler's in heaven saying that. So it
just goes on and on and on. Right, So this
is this is uh, the this is where the culture

(31:32):
is a piece of the culture, not not majority of
the culture, but this is the way a big part
of the American culture is today. Uh. And it's it's
pretty scary. This is and this is what Nick Foytis encourages, supports,
builds on. He takes that anger and he funnels it
in this direction. And uh, you know, this is this

(31:54):
is what perculs surface. I mean I had a very
very similar thing saying when I went after the alt
right in twenty twenty sixteen, Right in twenty sixteen when
Trump was running and the olt wright first emerged, and
I had swastika sent to me, and you know, ovens

(32:16):
and jew and all this stuff, all this anti so
many stuff thrown at me in twenty sixteen didn't amount
to anything. They went away and neighborhood from them again.
But you know, it's it's still out there. It's prevalent,
and Fountas is giving them a home, and people like
Piers Morgan and Crowder and Tucker Callson and Crowder is

(32:37):
disappointing because I thought he was a little better. All
of these people are legitimizing, legitimizing this kind of attitude.
All by interviewing Nick Foyintis and by defending Nick Pointis
and justifying in Nick Fointis, I just wanted the thing
about illegal immigrations. So there is a you know, there's

(33:01):
there's this common trope on the right that uh, you
know that that people constantly use that basically says that
basically argues that the Biden administration did this on purpose.
They brought all these illegal immigrants into the country on purpose.

(33:22):
It was all a plan. It was all they wanted
to flood the country with illegals for whatever reason you
can make up, whatever reason. They'll all turn into citizens
and they've all democratic Orthough a lot of them vote
voted for Republicans, and and and you know, on and
on and on and on. You know, this idea that
it was all a democratic scheme. And there's actually a

(33:44):
good article out uh basically shows I think, you know,
quite convincingly. And and I didn't need to read the
article because because I think I was I was really convinced.
But basically basically that this was that the surge of
him of mass might you know, the border, tens of

(34:07):
thousands of people crossing the border, and just the mayhem
and the disarray and the anarchy on the border. It
was not anything planned. Uh. And the basically what it
was was unsurprising at all, total incompetence. They just had

(34:29):
no clue what they were doing. Uh. And I think
that's true of the Biden administration more broadly about lots
of things. And there's no reason to believe that suddenly
when it came to the border, they became these conspiring, uh, efficacious,
efficient people who could pull this off. Biden administration didn't

(34:52):
know what it was doing. Now are they nonprofits encouraging
people to come across the border and relish? You know,
they are nihilists of the life left and quite happy
to put the lives of South American people at risk
in order to make a point in America and in
order to just disrupt the status quo. But Biden isn't that.

(35:12):
Biden is just was an incompetent old fool, and he
wasn't prepared for it. He hesitated to do anything about
it because he was afraid of the of the left
of his party. But there was no coherent vision, no
coherent strategy, no coherence. I mean, if you saw Biden,

(35:33):
you know that there was just no nothing. There was
nothing coherent about Biden. It was just not coherent. And
I think that's usually the case. It's rare that things
are big part of some big plan, big agenda, big
you know, ideology. I mean the same thing with Trump.

(35:55):
You know, Trump is not a it's not about some
big strategy, idea, logical strategy. With Trump, it's it's basically corruption,
you know, and and uh and some very very primitive
views about some economic things, and uh and and just
loving and embracing the bully in him. There's no there's

(36:17):
no grand strategy, there's no five D chess for for
some amazing or even bad thing that he wants. He's
not some evil villains scheming. Trump is just Trump. He's
just a He's just a thug and uh as a
you know, and he just does thuggish things. Again, there's
no and. And he wants to peace the people who

(36:39):
got him elected, so he sends out ice. You know,
I don't even think that Trump has particularly negative views
about immigration really deep down. Remember he married, he married immigrants,
he hired immigrants, he employed immigrants, He probably, I'm sure
he employed illegal immigrants. It's not a Trump idea. It's

(37:04):
what appeases his base. It's his base that's ugly. I mean,
he's ugly, but it's his base that has really really
ugly ideas. I'm afraid I'm giving Puerto Rico a bad name.
This guy says, you have no right to even use
the term American. Okay, Puerto Rican, we just hate filth.

(37:30):
Remember that joke at the Republican National Convention about Puerto
Rican being this floating island of garbage. Yep, yep, it's
pretty pretty. It's pretty you know, it really is disgusting.

(38:00):
All right, let's see where are we in video? In video?
You know, just when you were when you thought you'd
seen it all. Donald Trump on Friday, I think it

(38:21):
was agreed agreed with with xiuh to provide China with
not the most advanced chips, but chips that he had
banned in the past, and Biden had banned and from
I'm going to China in order to prevent them from

(38:42):
using them in military technology and in in AIH. These
are the H two hundred H two hundred chips, which
you know, the the workhorse of much of a I
tech today. Again, they're not the most advanced chips, but

(39:02):
you can get a lot of them. Anyway. Trump decided,
after speaking to the Chinese that he was going to
allow allow China to purchase them. Now we'll see that
China doesn't want them, but he's going to allow China
to purchase them. He's so weak, it's pathetic, right, So

(39:25):
here's here's what he wrote. I've informed President she of
China that the United States will allow Nvidia to ship
its H two hundred products to approve customers in China
and other countries under conditions that allow for continued strong
national security. What conditions. Don't put it in your missiles.
Don't put it in a weapon. I'm watching you. I

(39:47):
mean once you ship to China, you have no control
of what happens to it. Give me a break, President,
She responded positively. Now here's the here's the here's the thing.
Twenty five percent will be paid to the United States
of America. So, as I understand scheme, China is going

(40:08):
to buy the chips from in Video and then in
Vidia is going to give the US government twenty five
percent of the revenue. Why how how does this make sense?
What's going on here? This policy will support American job
strength in US manufacturing and benefit American taxpayers. The Biden

(40:30):
administration forced out great companies to spend billions of dollars
building degraded products and that nobody wanted a terrible idea
that slowed innovation and heard American worker, what is he
talking about? Oh, maybe alternateive energy. I don't know what
he's talking about. It that error is over. We will
protect national security. No, you're not just sending the chips

(40:51):
that are used in the miss out to China. What
are you talking about? He's completely lost the plot. Other
than he kind of deal with in Video in Vidia
promise to give him twenty five percent of the revenue,
and it's nothing him personally granted, but America America, we
got it, and you know, so he's giving the Chinese right.

(41:16):
Here's here's somebody posted this. Josh Rogan posted this. I
think it's really clever. Lenin said. This is a quote
from Lenin. The capitalists will sell us the rope with
which we will hang them sheets. Trump sell us your
advanced AI chips and we will kick you back twenty
five Trump deal. The only thing wrong with that is

(41:43):
that it's insulting. It's insulting to call to capitalist, to
call trumpet capitalists. I mean, this is a complete reversal
of expert controls. Now, whether it makes sense, it doesn't
make sense. If you had a strategy around China, we
could argue about it. But a lot of people in

(42:08):
AI space are saying this not puts China on paul
with the US. They can now compete with us. If
we had a huge advantage over them in the past,
we're not going to have one given this. Yes, we'll
still have a bit of advantage because the more advanced
chips ouse, but it's not that big, and it's just

(42:34):
and of course this is all done and Trump makes
the point it's all done in the name of America first.
Damn those foreigners. Hate those foreigners. It's all America first.
So as you know, somebody writes these eight two hundred

(42:54):
chips will be used to hack American personal information and
black and mail American voters and businesses on a large scale.
Trump is selling your personal security the highest better and Republicans,
And you know Republicans will not take a stand against them.
They do not, they do not. You know, this is

(43:16):
kind of funny. The same day the administration approved the
sale of H two hundred chips right to China, the
Department of Justice said that these chips, the H two
hundred chips. They literally said this in a deposition where
they were they arrested smugglers who were smuggling H two
hundred chips out. So people are smuggling H two hundred

(43:38):
chips to China. This is what Department Justice said in
catching them right, indicting them. Quote, these chips are the
building blocks of AI superiority and integral to modern military applications.
The country that controls these chips will control AI technology.
The country that controls AI technology will control the future.
Oh China, you want the future here, let me tell

(44:00):
you some we've got future on a chip. Unbelievable. And
you guys tell me that Trump is the greatest president
in American history or one of the greatest, one of
the greatest presidents in American history. It's just I mean,

(44:22):
it's one of the dumbest presidents in American history, there
is no question about that. One of the most ignorant
presidents in American history, there's no question about that. And
one of the most anti American presidents in American history.
I mean anti American, inadvertedly acting against the interests of America.
Maybe advertedly, I don't know, but you know, I don't

(44:42):
think he's smart enough to do it advertedly, so inadvertently
acting against the interest of me. Here's another one. So
yesterday Trump and veiled a twelve billion dollar bailout for farmers.
I told you this was coming. It was kind of obvious.
This is a financial package that is supposed to compensate

(45:05):
for the farmers for the fact that nobody is buying
or primarily China is not buying American agriculture. They're not
buying soybeans, that are buying corn. You know, eleven billion
of this will be in the form of one time
payments through the Farmer Bridge Assistance program, which helps America,
which helps your crop farmers. The remaining one billion will

(45:27):
go towards commodities not covered under the Bridge Assistance program.
So they want to cover all the farmers. They want
to make sure they all get paid. Now, why has
this being such a horrible year for American farmers? Well,
primarily because Trump decided to engage in a trade war
with countries like China, and as a consequence of the

(45:51):
trade war. As a consequence of the trade war, other countries,
they are not buying American agricultural products. And because they're
not buying American agricultural products, the you know, the prices
of soybeans, for example, have gone down significantly, and there's

(46:12):
no market to soybeans is sitting then there's no market
to sell them. You have to have to keep lowing
prices in order to get sales. So now you know,
it's been a challenging year. The first nine months of
twenty twenty five, farm bankruptcy rose by nearly fifty percent
compared with the same period in twenty twenty four. Trump

(46:35):
says this relief will provide much needed certainty to farmers
as they get this year's harvest to market and look
ahead to next year's crop, we're going to make them
so strong it will indeed be a golden age for farmers,
a golden age under you know, government subsidies. Really, I

(46:56):
don't think that as a golden age. I don't consider
that a golden age. I don't think farmers considered to
go in age. And he farmers complaining about this, They're saying,
this is no way close to compensating for the actual losses,
and the losses were completely unnecessary. It's not like there
was a drought. It's not like some natural disaster wiped
out all the crops. It was man made. It was

(47:20):
Trump made. Is that man or not? I don't know,
but it was Trump made. The I mean basically, the
Tarisa China cut Beijing's imports of uish soybeans from the
usual twenty nine million metric tons annually to zero, and

(47:46):
then a deal was cut in October, and you know,
they're buying a little bit of soybeans now, but nothing
close to what they usually buy. Roughly half of all
American soybeans are exported each year, about a quarter go
to China. That's gone now. Trump says the Chinas played

(48:07):
twelve million to buy twelve million metric tons of Emerican
soybeans this year and twenty five million metric tons annually
for the next three years. And when he did that,
soybean prices went up a little bit. But the reality
is that China has only bought about twenty percent of
what it'd agreed to. The China in the past has

(48:29):
agreed to buy soybeans under other deals with Trump and
did not. And a lot of farmers sold their soybeans
before the deal was cut when prices were really really low,
and for them it's too bad. Now they are also

(48:53):
bumper crops, and as a consequence, there's a go lot
of corner soybeans just naturally. A year ago, let's remember, right,
Congress passed a ten billion dollar bailout package for farmers
to help with low commodity prices. So we constantly bail
out farmers. During his first term, Trump sent about twenty

(49:20):
three billion dollars to farmers to compensate for his tariffs
on China in his first term, So we're sending tens
of billions of dollars for farmers on a regular basis,
and then add to that more tens of billions of dollars.
When Trump does something the pisses off the Chinese and

(49:41):
they don't buy anything from the farmers. I mean, it's
just despicable. It's just despicable that all of us have
to be sacrificed for the sake of American farmers. Again,

(50:06):
we're talking about Donald Trump, the champion of capitalism, a
champion of cronyism, the champion of of of turning a
farming community into a community of leeches, of parasites off
of the federal government. And yeah, pretty uh you know again,

(50:36):
one of the great presidents in American history. Some people
tell me, yeah, okay, that just uh repeats it. Oh,
this was funny, This is really funny. This is the
kind of stuff that the Trump administration does. Right, We've
talked about this in the past. They lie, lie, lie, lie, lie,
lie lie, and they do it con and repeatedly until

(51:02):
the lie becomes like everybody exception, it's just true, just true. Oh,
we've got people on the chat coming to comment on
my speech impediment. That's pretty funny. When you when you
can't actually deal with the ideas, you insult people about

(51:24):
their accent. So this is you know, the spokesman for
the White House quote President Trump convinced President she to
continue purchasing again American soybeans, which is something China wasn't
doing under the last administration because they had no respect
for President Biden in the country at the time. Now

(51:45):
here's the thing. This is not This is not even
close right. This is a kind of a lie that
you can look up in three seconds and discover it.
But nobody looks it up like Trump boys represent and
say it and say it, to say it and say it.
Anybody goes, oh, okay, wow, didn't realize that. But China

(52:06):
was the largest expert market for American farmers in twenty
twenty four, they bought twenty seven million metric tons. They
stopped buying completely in twenty twenty five when Trump started
the trade ward. This is just simple, obvious, straightforward, uncontroversial facts,

(52:27):
which this spokesone for the White House, the spokesmone for
President Trump just ignores and lies with a straight face.
In you know, the ability of this administration to lie
is unmatched in you know, maybe human history. Maybe human history.

(52:58):
All right, let's see, I'm just following my my Twitter
feed because it's it's uh, it's kind of funny. Uh.
Let's see, every single time they say, right, born in Israel,
you know that's right. Every every single time they find

(53:18):
somebody they disagree with, turns out the Jew right, that's
what they're getting in. Yeah. Yeah, repent or you're going
to perma jail. Scratch any accolade of ironmand and you'll
get a revisionist Zionist in no time. That's me yah.

(53:41):
So yes, they're all out there. Uh, anti Sematis, Anti
Semitism is is, uh is strong and with us and
uh quite. I mean it would be chilling if I
if I if I thought, you know, these people are

(54:01):
unseerious and absurd and ridiculous. All right, let's see. Uh. Yeah,
farmer's upset. An Arkansas farmer says, so far krift and
what we need? Just a loss in corn this year
was over sixteen billion, the loss of soybeans around eleven billion.
Cotton and rice even bigger losses than that. Twelve billion

(54:23):
is not going to make up for this year. I
mean it used to be that American farmers were like
too proud to take welfare. I mean, granted that was
before the New deal. But it's just unbelievable that here
they are groveling for more No. No. Twelve billion on
and if we need more more billions, send us more billions.
We lost money this year the federal government, all Americans

(54:44):
should subsidize our losses. What the hell? I mean why?
I mean, why why can't Why shouldn't they go bankrupt?
Why shouldn't they go out of business? There's no market
for what they produce. Now, some of it is Trump's fault, certainly, soybeans,
But you know, what about what about the cotton and rice?

(55:09):
I mean, think about it. Do you know that they
actually grow rice in California? Rice, which is a massive
consumer of water, is grown in a come in a
a in a state that has constant shortages of water.

(55:30):
So why are we growing cotton? I'm sorry? Rice or cotton? Maybe?
I don't know. And there are plenty of countries in
the world that grow rice pretty cheaply, being my gas, Vietnam, Thailand, China.
But you know, let's say we don't want to buy
from China. I guess is you could grow rice in Africa.

(55:53):
We could just import all that rice. What about cotton?
Should we be growing cotton? In America really seems like nah,
it seems like you can grow crossing a lot cheap
and a lot better elsewhere around the world and just
imported here. So this is the kind of protectionist, anti capitalist,

(56:16):
anti freedom policies that the Trumpet administration embraces, did most
Americans sadly, most Americans sadly embrace. They're not interested in
freedom anymore. They're not interested in liberty anymore. They're interested
in their quote American job. They have a god given
right to hold their job for life, or their American farm.
They have a god getting right for the American farm

(56:38):
for life, or they're you know, or their American wage
is if I mean, this is the divine right of stagnation.
Over and over. Nigga Americans want to stagnate. They don't
want growth, They want to stagnate. They don't want to
come me richer. They don't want to come more prosperous.
They don't want better technology. They just want this same.

(57:01):
They want everybody who doesn't look like them out, and
they want to stagnate. You know, when I said pathetic
and cowardly on that thing, yeah, pathetic and cowardly was
exactly right, exactly right, All right, Yeah, let's talk about

(57:25):
Japan and EU. Interesting story I read about Japan. So
Japan is it's really challenging China right now. It's basically
said that it would consider a Chinese invasion of Taiwan
a real threat to Japan, a threat that would allow them, right,

(57:53):
that would allow them, in spite of their constitution, to
engage in military action. You know, the Japanese constitution that
was written by General MacArthur really makes it difficult for
them to deploy military forces, right it has to. The
only time they can deploy military force is when they
face a existential crisis. Tokyo stated that any Chinese assault

(58:21):
in Taiwan could constitute an existential crisis for Japan's national security,
which is the only illegal classification that allows Japan to
deploy military force in collective defense of its allies. And
they mean it. They've moved now missiles, antiaircraft missiles onto

(58:42):
an island about one hundred and twenty kilometers less than
one hundred miles from Taiwan. Remember, Japan has the fourth
largest navy in the world, and they're super advanced technologically. Japanese,
the Japanese are good or what they do when they

(59:04):
build something, they build it well. They have some of
the best submarines in the world, by the way, super cheap,
much cheaper than American or British submarines. Super cheap submarines
they run now on these hyper efficient batteries. They can
stay underwater as long as not longer than nuke sub
nuclear submarines. Amazing submarines. But generally they have a phenomenal fleet.

(59:33):
And it seems like Japan is trying to is preparing
for war. I mean, Japan needs the Straits of Taiwan,
the whole area around Taiwan to stay free open outside
of China's complete control. Around eighty percent of Japan's energy

(59:56):
imports pass through waters near Taiwan. A Chinese blockade of
Taiwan could cripple or a Japanese Chinese blockade in that
part of the ocean would cripple Japan's economy overnight. If
Taiwan falls, Japan becomes completely isolated economically and militarily. And

(01:00:20):
Japan is basically saying to d C to a unlistening
Trumpe administration, Uh, you know, we are willing to stand
with the Taiwanese. What about you? You have made a
commitment to the Western Pacific. What are you going to do? Uh?

(01:00:43):
It would be interesting also what the South Koreans do.
Japan has become closer to South Koreans in spite of
historical grievances, justified his grievances to South Koreans have towards Japanese.
What the South Koreans could potential? And that case, would
America just sit out? Would it let its allies just

(01:01:04):
do it alone? Would it ignore what's going on? America
has a lot of troops in the area, in both
South Korea and in Japan. Would it just let them
sit there? I mean one of the things that is
a real guarantee that China will not invade Japan. Yeah, sorry,

(01:01:26):
China will not eva in Taiwan. It's strength, I mean,
Trump claims this is this basis of his national security plan,
peace through Strength. If America is perceived as strong and is,
America states they will stand up against the Chinese, they
will not invade Taiwan. They don't want to lose. And

(01:01:49):
yet it's exactly that possibly that Trump is between by
staying completely silent on h on the issue. America is
sending another aircraft carrier to the Western Pacific. So maybe
that is the US's recognition that there is some issue there,

(01:02:14):
but otherwise nothing is being said. What is interesting is
I didn't realize the extent to which America defense wise
relies on Japanese technology. It reminds me of the situation
with Israel, the extent to which the US relies on
Israeli technology. But it turns out that US anti missile

(01:02:38):
defense systems against hypersonic threats Chinese or Russian almost entirely
depends on Japanese technology. The SM three Block two A
and the Glide Phase Interceptor, the two most modern anti
missile defense systems that the United States its deployees basically

(01:03:02):
being co developed with the Japanese, with most of the
sophisticated electronics being subcontracted to the Japanese because nobody in
the US could make them, you know. And it is

(01:03:23):
a reality that the United States today, I mean, the
machine that makes all chips possible comes from the Netherlands.
They F thirty five would be a far inferior airplane
if not for what Israel has learned from using it
and the kind of technology Israel has introduced into the

(01:03:44):
F thirty five to make it better. That is then
embraced by the United States. The United States is made
stronger in so many different ways by its allies. And
if you get anything from the NSS the national security
you know, strategy, you get the attitude that America doesn't

(01:04:06):
care about its allies. And yet that attitude is unbelievably
self defeating and anti any kind of rational America for
a strategy. So again, the Trump administration is undermining American
security by not not actually engaging without allies and not

(01:04:31):
giving a space for allies in our national security strategy.
I told you Israel has no place there. You know.
Japan is barely mentioned, Europe is only condemned. Israel is
mentioned again barely. Islamist threat is not mentioned, China as
a real threat is again marginalized. Russia is not mentioned
as a threat at all. It's a really pathetic document

(01:04:55):
in many respects. But anyway, I was really happy to
read this about the missile defense system because I thought
the United States had very little to or nothing that
could really stop the hypersonic missiles that the that the
Chinese and the Russians have. But it turns out that
one system is already developed and the second system that

(01:05:17):
would kill the missile in its glide phase is being
developed right now by the Americans and the Japanese. And
again where the really crucial technology is being built by
by Japanese companies. And it's uh, you know, Japanese has
phenomenal precision instruments technology just like the Germans do, and

(01:05:38):
that America doesn't. And we we want allies, we want friends,
you know. It's it's it's such a huge, unbelievable mistake
to build walls and to isolate ourselves and to pretend
that we can build everything ourselves. There is no way
for the United States, for example, to build this what
is it, what is Trump calling it, this shield dome

(01:06:01):
that would would would shield America from all missiles without
the Japanese and the Germans and the Brits and the Israelis.
It is always building, you know, it already has these
these missiles that are knock ballistic missiles out of the sky,

(01:06:21):
and it's building already the next generation. And that next
generation is supposed to be able to deal with the
hypersonics and is always probably ahead of the United States
in uh, that kind of tech, because it is always
highly motivated to develop it because it's existential, and then
the United States will benefit from that technology to the

(01:06:41):
extent that it maintains as well as an ally, Who
is this idiot who keeps coming back? I keep blocking him,
and he keeps going back just to annoy me. It's
it's kind of people have nothing nothing to do with
their lives. Their lives are so empty and shallow that
the best they can do is come and just harass

(01:07:02):
people on various on various podcasts, A get or at
least me. I don't know people. I mean, I guess
there's two you know stories about the EU. The second
one is positive. I mean, I take the story about
Japan as positive. Japan is taking its own self defense seriously.
They are investing, They've got the technology to do it,

(01:07:24):
they are putting the effort into it. They're not sitting
on their hands. They're actually doing the right thing good
for the Japanese. And they have the technological superiority over
the Chinese to be able to build things that I
think a lot of countries in the world couldn't even
imagine doing. Europe, though, is in trouble uh and and

(01:07:47):
and there's there's this national security UH strategy document that
came out highlights this because it like slams Europe, and
you know, Europe on Friday announced that it was going
to find Twitter X one hundred and twenty million euro
fine for because of the blue check mark. Because the

(01:08:10):
blue check mark doesn't actually verify your identity like it
used to in the past. Now you just pay for it,
and you pay for it, you get the blue check mark. Now,
Really what the punishing is the fact that X is
not playing with their censorship, ploy with their you know,

(01:08:32):
their their kind of twisting the arms of Facebook and
others to restrict certain speech on their platforms, and exits
refusing to do it. And so they find them, but
they didn't find them on that, they find them on
another way. But that's basically what they are. And indeed,

(01:08:54):
the NSS, the National Security Strategy is right in the
sense that is losing. But when it comes to free speech,
it's wrong to think that right wing political parties are
going to be full free speech. They're not. They never
have been histotically, you know, they're only for free speech
if it's this speech being censored. They're anti free speech.

(01:09:17):
Once they get their power and they want to sense
that their enemies speech. And it's absolutely absolutely true. I mean,
I mean thousands of cases exist in Germany, for example,
against people who have insulted politicians. I mean literally, the
German chancellor is personally responsible for five thousand cases because

(01:09:44):
people who insulted him, calling him a filthy drunk or
stuff like that. And that's that you can sue in Oh,
there he is again, this idiot is is there again?
He has a lot of different accounts. Do I have
anybody who has what do you call it the authority
to uh to moderate and can can can block these

(01:10:07):
idiots for me? I don't know if anybody live now
has that ability. And it's not just Germany. Of course,
the UK arrests people for stuff they post on Twitter. Uh,
and it's pretty horrible. So yeah, free speech is indeed

(01:10:27):
a really really bad situation in Europe. And and and look, Europe,
it makes a lot of money. It makes a lot
of money by finding American tech companies. They keep finding
American tech companies and they make money that way. Miroslav,
thank you really appreciated. I thought I saw you there earlier.

(01:11:20):
All right, let's see. So yeah, so Europe freedom wise
is struggling, but economically. It's really suffering since a financial crisis.
The US economy has grown somewhere close to three percent
on average a year. The European economy has grown one
percent a year. Now, you know, that is a huge

(01:11:45):
difference over time, a huge difference. In twenty twenty five,
the combined GDP of European unions twenty trillion. America was
thirty trillion. In two thousand and eight, the combined GDP
was about the same between the two countries. The GDP,

(01:12:09):
the capita GDP number widens because of the difference in
growth through two percent over what is it now, ten, sixteen,
seventeen years? Two percent over seventeen years will do that
to you. Europe is struggling, and if it continues like this,
it'll fall behind dramatically to the US, and it could

(01:12:31):
become worse. Germany, the German economy hasn't really grown in
five years because of its ridiculous green policies. So Europe's
in trouble. No entrepreneurs, no big tech companies. It made
more money, I think, I think I read somewhere it

(01:12:53):
made more money finding American companies than it did taxing
its tech companies. I mean against taxes. But you know,
you get a sense the finds are bigger than the
Americans then, because there's no tech industry in your no
significant one, no entrepreneurship. And we're talking about area of

(01:13:16):
the world highly educated, highly cultured, highly productive potentially, but
the consequences of heavy regulation, heavy controls, lack of freedom,
these other consequences, this is what happens. The good news

(01:13:41):
is that the EU is starting to get an inkling
that it's a problem. Now. I'm not sure it's going
to do it enough, but it's starting to get so.
For example, just today the EU closed the deal to
slash green rules for companies, make it a lot simpler

(01:14:06):
for companies to get to meet environmental standards. And indeed,
you know, a lot of what cripples cripples development, entrepreneurs,
you know, productivity in Europe is the green agenda. And
the political parties in the European Parliament of the Rights

(01:14:30):
have basically teamed up to reduce regulations. And this is
part of an effort we'll see if it succeeds, part
of an effort in Europe to start at the European
Union level to start reducing regulations, to try to eliminate regulations.
By the way, the UK, which is not part of
the EU, could have done this under conservative government. They

(01:14:51):
could have done it. They could have reduced regulations dramatically,
but of course they didn't. It's why Brexit is such
a failure. So you know, there's going to be backlash.
All the environmental groups are flipping out and the green
parties are flipping out. But it does seem right now
that right of center and far right political parties have

(01:15:14):
enough seats in the European Parliament to be able to
pretty much get this done. So maybe maybe maybe maybe,
probably very and still very unlikely, but maybe Europe is
waking up to the evils of statism, the evils of
regulations and controls and high taxes and all of that,

(01:15:34):
and maybe maybe maybe as a consequence they are changing.
We'll see, we will see, all right, guys. That is
the news for this Tuesday, December ninth. Yeah, day of
rabid anti semitism, racism, and just plain stupid ignorance on Twitter.

(01:16:00):
But then I think that's every day. Just sometimes it's
it's targeted at me, so I notice, But that's every day,

(01:19:48):
that you can support the show by going to patreon
dot com and becoming a monthly supporter, a monthly supporter,
and that that is really helpful to the show because
it makes it possible for me to track and to
know how much money is coming in in the months
to come approximately right, people add and subtract, but overall

(01:20:08):
it's very predictable. I'm looking for four more people. We've
almost got to the goal. Four more people to sign

people to sign up to Patreon. At ten dollars you

three months. For five hundred dollars, you get a one
on one meeting with me every month. So those who
can afford it and think the show merits the value

(01:20:52):
afforded and merits the value, then five hundred dollars is
very very much. I'm very thankful to people who can
do that. That makes a huge difference in terms of
in terms of growing the show. Let's see, Philosophical detective said,
did your son get a job where he went? He's

(01:21:14):
still he's still looking for a job. So my son,
who's a software engineer I worked for Amazon the last
few years, is UH is looking for a job in
in software engineering, either remotely or in the LA area.
So if you have anything, if you know of anything,
I know some of you have already written to me.
I really really appreciate that. I don't know he's talking

(01:21:35):
to some of you, UH, some of you. He's just
wasn't qualified for the job that you suggested. You know,
let me know, send me send me something. You can
send it to you on at your on bookshow dot
com and UH and that way, Yeah, that way we can.
I can let him know it would be great if

(01:21:56):
if you found a job through the through the your
on bookshow, that'd be fantastic. All right, let's jump in
with the super chats. Run GAVRIELI fifty dollars fifty euros.
Thank you, Ron, really appreciate that. Juron, could you review
the song Bailando bachata. It's a bachata song. It's a

(01:22:18):
Spanish love song, so refreshing. It avoids the usual needy begging,
whining and helpless worship. I feel like a genuine celebration
of values, almost an objective's view of romance. All right,
I will look, yeah, I mean, but chatta it's bachata,

(01:22:42):
so it's it's a dance, it's dance music. It's dance music.
It's bachata is a Latin dance, which I do not
do because I don't dance, I mean competent when it
comes to dancing. But yes, I will review it or
the reviews. One hundred dollars run, So you're forty two
dollars short. Everybody else is paid one hundred dollars. So

(01:23:05):
all right, let's see Michael. When people attack boomers and
say we're not in the boomer age anymore. Are they
really saying we're moving into a post enlightenment worth thinking
that your personal responsibility and capitalism is over? I mean,
I wish that anybody identified boomers with personal responsibility and capitalism.

(01:23:31):
I mean, boomers are the ones responsible for what we
have today. Boomers are the ones who created the modern
world and with all its downsides. Ideologically, there's nothing good
about boomers that we should celebrate. You know. The only
thing good about boomers is they're not gen X gen zs.
But it wasn't like boomers were capitalists or advocates for

(01:23:53):
the enlightenment. I think they're basically saying, shut up, old man.
It's all this thing is, shut up, old man. And
if the old man happens to agree with them, they
won't say you boomer. But if the old man disagrees,
so let me just shut up, old man. And you
could have it from the left or from the right
or anybody. You know, it's it's it really just as
a way to try to insult somebody into silence. It

(01:24:19):
really has no uh you know, real ideological backing or
foundation or real significant meaning. Ondesand all right, thank you, Michael,

(01:24:45):
uh let's see j jgbs uh. Watching old episodes of
Firing Line wfbg R at least was great exposing the BS.

(01:25:11):
Who's w F William F. Buckley Junior? William F. Buckley
Junior at least was great exposing the BS. We don't
seem to have talking heads who are quick or brave
enough to do that. Peers and peers in here, and
that generation is weak. Frantis looked more honest overall. I
think that's right. I think the peer is very weak.

(01:25:32):
You saw that when he tries to debate Douglas Murray.
I think Douglas Murray is the kind of person you're
looking for. I think you see that when Piers tried
to debate Douglas Murray about Hamas He's just weak. He
was weak with Frantis, although granted, at least he asked
tough questions, which which which everybody else didn't. Everybody else
softballed it. But but yeah, I I you know, you

(01:25:58):
say what you will about William F. Buckley. He was
smart and quick on his feet, and had opinions and
wasn't afraid to stand by his opinions. Shawsbutt every lie
incurs a debt to the truth. Eventually that debt must
be paid. That is from the TV series Chernobyl. That's

(01:26:19):
a great line. That is a great line because at
the end, reality is the truth, and at the end,
reality doesn't budge. Reality is what it is. And and
and you know you're you're ultimately that's who is going
to hold you accountable reality, Thomas. My brain is two
full of Nutcracker, which I start conducting tomorrow in San Jose.

(01:26:43):
To think of a good question. Happy December ninth. Thank
you Thomas, really appreciate that. And and it must be
fun conducting the Nutcracker. I mean, that's a that's such
a fun piece, and it's such a it's a piece
so associated with this time of year. So uh yeah,
good for you, and enjoy and good luck with it.
I mean not that luck has anything to do with it,

(01:27:05):
but you know, have fun with it. Remo says, why
do you think the man who shot Liberty? Why do
you like the man who shout liberty? Vallence? I find
it a bit disappointing compared to other classical questions. I
like it because it's it's it has it has the

(01:27:28):
sense of a real idea behind it. It's not just
good guy bad guy, but it has kind of a message.
It's trying to convey something. It's trying to say. Not
necessarily that I agree with that message, but I think
it's it's a smart movie. It's a clever movie. It
posits these two different types of people, the Jimmy Stewart

(01:27:48):
character and the John Wayne character, each representing something different,
one representing the past, one representing the future. And I
think it I think it just creates good drama and
and uh and does a good job of it. Not
to say that it's one of it's it's the greatest Western.

(01:28:09):
It's not. There are other westerns that are much better.
But it's good. It's good. It's a good movie. It's
it's very well made, and and it's and it it
represents real conflict, and it does so in a in
a clever way. And and it's really dramatic and interesting
and entertaining. Thanks Rimo. And then Remo says value for value,

(01:28:30):
Thank you. We will Cook says he's quoting Matt Walsh.
I have no self esteem. And it's funny because there's
a Matt Welsh, which who is from Reason Magazine, Reason
Institute and uh, people have confused the two Matts. Unfortunately,
Matt Welsh from Reason is much much better than Matt

(01:28:54):
Walsh from Daily Wire Michael. According to Objectivism Nick Foyntis's
constant manipulation and dishonesty should be bringing him nothing but
destruction and misery. Yet he's making a fortune and more
popular than ever. Yeah, I mean that doesn't make him happy.
If you watched yesterday's show with Gene, you know, the

(01:29:17):
happiness is not random, it's not arbitrary, and it doesn't
come from just making money and being popular. It doesn't
make him happy. The standard at the end of the
day's happiness, you know. And look, he's still young. There's
a lot of years of misery ahead for him. And
so I wouldn't I wouldn't consider Matt Foentis as a

(01:29:41):
successful at living. He's successful manipulating people. So it was
a Peter Keating, and Peter Keating was successful by the
measure of money and being acclaimed and building lots of buildings,
but he was miserable, and later in life he was
even more miserable than he was when he was young.

(01:30:06):
Thoughts on dual income, no kids, lifestyle, any downsides well,
I mean, the only downside is not having kids. Having
kids is an amazing experience. It's life changing, it's it's inspiring,
it's exciting, it's fun, it's interesting, it's so there's a

(01:30:28):
lot to be said for having kids, and it's a
real challenge. It stretches you. You learn a lot about yourself,
about the world, about human beings. So I think, I
think make sure that if you decide not to have kids,
which is a completely legitimate decision, that you really think

(01:30:49):
it through and and and that's a decision you make
knowing in a sense what you're giving up. But it's
okay to give that up. So the only downside is
not having the kids. But if you decide that that
that you're gaining something great value in the place, then
that's fine. There's no there's no downside in that sense.

(01:31:12):
Michael says, well, Nazi Germany have any popularity with Nick
Coentis types. He's young. Will he seek political power eventually?
I don't know. I mean, it was it was definitely yes.
I think that answers yes, not quite. As you know,
Nick foint has got to smoke in his face constantly.

(01:31:32):
He thinks he's funny, that's part of his stick. I
don't know if he had that, you had people committed
to an idea. I don't they had a positive, positive
in the not really positive, but positive in their perspective,
an agenda. They had an agenda, there's something they want
to achieve. I don't think Nick Foentis wants to achieve anything.
I think he's just a nihilist. That's why I think

(01:31:56):
he'll ultimately flat fall flat on his face. I don't
think he'll he'll achieve any kind of real political power
because he doesn't have a positive agenda. He's not rallying
the Arian race to rebuild the world and conquer Europe
and established Germany as the greatest country that ever existed.

(01:32:18):
I mean, that's it's not Anyfoentis. He's just there to
ship to slam, to disintegrate, to destroy, to put down,
to make fun of in the name of what and
they we have nothing. He's a void, He's a zero.
And in that sense, zeros don't usually attain political power.

(01:32:43):
It's possible Trump did, but Pointless is even more zero
than Trump. Michael, it's easier to collapse into nihilism than
to rise to egoism. I don't know if that's true.
And most of our intellectuals a nihilistic subjectivists to one
degree another, young people are collapsing into a burn it
all down mindset, and Nick knows how to make his

(01:33:06):
mannerisms more antagonistic and nihilistic than anyone else out there.
I mean, here's the thing, and I know I play
right it to this. So let's not exaggerating for into
as an influence. How many people really take him seriously?

(01:33:27):
How many young people are really nihilists versus how many
people go to Silicon Valley and working at Silicon Valley
are trying to build something and create something and make something.
I mean a lot of people in Silicon Valley. You
are a lot of young people in Silicon Valley building stuff,
making stuff. They a lot of young people in New
York working at investment banks and in private equity funds,

(01:33:50):
going into finance, building making stuff. There are a lot
of people all over the country engaging in work, you know,
mechanics and plums and who young people building stuff making
stuff who are not nihilistics. So let's not exaggerate his influence.
Let's not exaggerate the amount of impact he has. He

(01:34:13):
has an impact on basement dwelling. You know, people who've
lost all a sense of meaning and purpose in their life,
who do nothing, who are loses, loses, fundamental losers. Nihilism
is not not easy. It's easier to be an egoists.

(01:34:34):
Nihilism is destructive, self destructive. It's painful, it's horrible. It's
sacrificing yourself to nothing and do nothing ness. It's people
are giving up because of this lack of meaning. And
what we need to do is teach them that there
is meaning out there and that too many attracted to

(01:34:57):
this but not that many. That's not again, let's not exaggerated.
And I wish the Pierre Morgans and the crowds of
the world didn't give them a platform to increase the
number of them and them. When you say anti immigration
Americans are cowards, is that making people think you're not American?

(01:35:19):
Is it better to say anti immigration people. I'm trying
to say that these people are un American. So that's
part of it, the Americans who are un American. Maybe
if I'm saying Americans, that implies that I'm not American.
But anybody who does two seconds of research knows I'm Americans.

(01:35:40):
So maybe that's a good point. Maybe I should not
call out Americans in that sense. Although the other thing
is there's a reason for Europeans to be anti immigration
that Americans don't have the naanti slam natilam. So you know,

(01:36:03):
so it is Americans who are the problem here, not
just people, because I can understand, you know, working class
person in England who you know, lives not that far
from some of these grooming gangs, is really really pissed off.
I get that. That's completely makes sense to me. This

(01:36:25):
stuff about American jobs, that is so that is what
is disgusting. That is what is you know, so horrible,
you know, as if they as if that is what
America is about. It's about guaranteeing them a job. It's
the job of the American government to secure them a job.

(01:36:46):
It's exactly the opposite. I should say, my fellow American cowards, Yes,
my fellow anti my fellow Americans, someone like that. I
like that, Jennifer. So I could say that to make
clear that I'm an American too, But no, I mean Americans,
because I don't think this applies everywhere again in Europe,

(01:37:08):
given the overwhelming number of Muslims they're coming in, and
of those Muslims, the number of Islamists and the attitude
of them just being allowed to rape and pellage if
you will, Yeah, I mean it makes much more sense Americans.
What are they complaining about, Oh, he's undercutting me on price?

(01:37:36):
I am look, look, I am pro immigration overall, even
in Europe. I just think that, you know, in Europe,
there has to be a recognition that some people the
whole purpose of coming to Europe is terming Islamist, and
those people should be out, and the recognition there has
to be a recognition that the rule of law applies
to everybody, and if they're grooming gangs, they should be

(01:37:57):
sent to jail for the rest of their lives. If
they're raping young goals, they should never be allowed out.
And the rule of law and discriminating against enemies would
solve the whole immigration problem. But other than that, bring
them in. Run adding the remaining money for the song review.

(01:38:19):
I hadn't known the price, and I don't accept an
unearned discount. I pay full value for your mind, nothing
less or more. Thank you, Run, I really appreciate that.
Thank you, Lincoln. Any advice on con convincing sent to
left people towards objectivism. I've spent my first semester trying

(01:38:40):
to convince the TPSU conservatives to no avail. Yeah, I
mean they're useless. I mean you need to find pro science,
a pro science, pro American center leftists and use reason
as your wedge. You know, if you apply reason to

(01:39:03):
these areas, what about applying reason to morality? What about
applying reasons economics? And go for there and see if
you have better SKU, says Michael. Not all of these
racists or unemployed losers. I know quite a few well
to do people who hold these bigoted, hollable ideas. Sadly
that is true. Sadly there are quite a few who

(01:39:25):
are not just unemployed losers. It used to be a time,
not that long ago, where if you express those kind
of ideas, people wouldn't do business with you. I'm hoping
those days return at some point. Lincoln, what's the best

(01:39:46):
iron Ran book to get teens into her work? Working
on my English teacher from high school on her doing
a unit on iron Ran in her class. Atlason found
had a terrific but they're too long to make a
unit for it. In high school class. So what should
I recommend Anthem? I mean Anthem is perfect that short.
It can be combined with eighty four and Animal Farm

(01:40:08):
and other dystopian novels. So I think Anthem is the
perfect one if they don't want to do Fountain It Michael,
Part one. Should we feel sorry in some way for

(01:40:29):
these hateful losers? Their lives must be completely empty and
miserable to post this hate. Oh, we can view them
as having free will and chose to be destroyers rather
than values. Maybe they're never being present with a positive
worldview to choose from. I mean, maybe I don't feel

(01:40:50):
I mean I feel sorry for them, that human beings
who are far from living up to their potential as
human being, and that's sad, sad for all of us.
But it's also true that they're choosing this, so you know,
it's it's sad, But that doesn't eliminate the moral blame
and the fact that we should judge them. We should

(01:41:10):
judge them for what they're doing. Michael, suppose, for intest,
became president Trump is a below average intelligent authoritarian that
we can navigate around. If interest level authoritarian can't be
handled to podcast no, but for intest is not going
to become president. I mean, I thought Charlie Cook could
become presidents, and I think he would have if he

(01:41:32):
hadn't been murdered. But for intance, I don't think can.
He's too much of a nihilist. He's too he doesn't
have a positive agenda. And I think JD. Vance can
become president. And that's scary enough. That is scary enough.
Andrew this arrogance in those who think IQ explains the world.

(01:41:55):
They think others are too cowardly to admit a politically incorrect.
Truth and arrogance often fit together, well, don't they. Yes,
there's no question. And of course, I mean the funny
thing about the IQ crowd is they're the ones who
call me he's a Jew, right, And they're all IQ people.
And yet according to all the IQ tests, you know,

(01:42:18):
my people, my people have the highest IQ's in the world,
so don't mess with us. That's according to the raceed realists.
I mean the whole Yeah, I mean the ignorant, the cowardly,
the cowards. That's why they use pseudo names. None of

(01:42:40):
them put their own name on their on their posts.
You know, it's it's uh it is uh uh it ignorant.
They're ignorant and cowardly and angry and afraid. Fear is
a huge motivation for them. Fear is a huge motivation

(01:43:01):
for them because they know that in a competitive, you know,
real competitive world, they couldn't survive. They couldn't survive in
a really competitive world. The Chinese will take their jobs.
These other people take to job. I mean, they could survive,
but they can't imagine how. They're really afraid they couldn't survive.
And then robots are coming to replace them as well.

(01:43:22):
So they're really in trouble, right, So they live miserable lives.
But that's bad for all of us. It's not good
for any of us, all right, That is it. I
will see you guys tomorrow, I think at about the
same time, and we will resume. I'll discussion then I'll

(01:43:43):
fill you in and how goes my battles on Twitter?
Buy everybody
