Speaker 1 (00:02):
A lot of fundamental principles. I'll read them. Why actually
self interest and an individual box. This is the show,
all right, everybody, welcome to you, one book show on
this Friday, six Boxing Day. I should have looked this

(00:29):
up before the show, but maybe Robert can just enlighten us.
What the hell Boxing day? Why? Why is the day
after Christmas? Boxing Day? I do not understand the term.
I don't know what it's about. Is this about Rocky?
Is this about literal boxing? Is it something else? Is
it boxes? Because today is when you throw out all
the boxes from the gifts you got. Anyway, Boxing Day,

(00:51):
Happy Boxing Day, everybody, And I hope you had a fantastic,
fantastic Christmas and got all the gifts that you wanted
and yeah, just just just had a great time with family,
friends and whoever you hung out with. So I hope

(01:12):
you enjoyed it all right, you know, Peter said, I unsubscribed,
love the show, but economy is a bit rough right now.
I don't think you have to pay any money to
subscribe to the show, at least not on not on YouTube.
But yeah, if for a lot of people, the economy

(01:35):
right now is tough and money is tight, and I
get that. So I appreciate you still being here, and
I appreciate that you love the show. All right, we're
doing today, Yeah, just just some news items. We'll go
through them quickly. We will. We will see where that
takes us. Of course, I will answer any and all

(01:56):
of your questions, so feel free to jump in with
any questions you might have of using the super Chat.
I answer them all. I answer them all. So any comments,
anything you want to say that you want me to
read aloud super Chat super chat. Yeah, all right. So

(02:24):
Lincoln is cutting back on super Chats, and Peter is
cutting back on something a membership. He's canceled his membership.
He was a member. He's canceled his membership because economy
is tight. I get it, I get it, all right,

(02:50):
Alejandro says, Somali Land, just recognize Israel. Such good news.
I'm sorry, that's really funny, Alejandro. Somaliland is like a
non existent place in north north Somalia, which is a
place that is completely dominated by violence and anarchy, and

(03:13):
Somaliland is this breakoff piece of Somalia kind of in
the north. No country in the world recognize Somaliland as
a country, not that that matters. I mean, it's a
dysfunctional place, it's a crazy place. And earlier today Israel
became the first country in the world, the first country
in the world to recognize Somaliland, and now Somaliland in

(03:38):
return has recognized Israel. Good times are rolling. Now. There
was another angle to this, and that is a Somali land.
It exists. It is geographically really really close to Yemen.
It's it's it's not that far from Yemen, which means

(04:02):
it's really not far from the way the Hooties are.
It is it is not quite on the streets there
on the narrowest part, but a little south of the
narrowest part, but the the Reread Sea where the Ittzya starts,
so it's just underneath that. And for Israel, if Israel

(04:22):
could establish a base in Somali line, it would give
Israel basically, you know, very very close proximity to the
uties and much stronger, much more powerful capabilities to deal

(04:43):
with the Hooties when the time comes to deal with them,
and the time will come. There's there's there's no question
about that. So there could be a strategic reason for
Israel doing this, but really other than the fact of
the geography Somali land is a there's nothing there and

(05:06):
as I said, it's it's like it's like Somalia. It's
split into these tribal influences. It's basically anarchy over there.
There's no one government. Somaliland has declared itself separate from Somalia.
But whether they can hold on to that or not,
it is how to tell. Maybe is or will be
selling them some weapons arm systems to get them going. Oh,

(05:30):
I talk about conflicts out there in the world. Christmas Day,
you know, Donald Trump basically sent against the world a
message that the United States now is not the policeman
of the world. No, no, no, that would be anti Maga.
The United States is now a defender of all Christians.

(05:50):
It is it is now willing to go to war
in the name of the Cross, in the name of Christianity.
I guess it's a new crusade. And as a consequence,
in United States bombed supposedly some basis of an ISIS
affiliate group in northwest, not northeast northwest Nigeria. Now, Nigeria

(06:19):
is a complicated place and I am no expert in Nigeria.
I know very little about Nigeria. Other than that it
is the most populated, most populated, what most populated Arab
African country? Is that true? Is it more popular than Egypt?

(06:45):
It might be the most populated African country that's a
non Arab African country. It is. So it's a very
large country, and both rates are very high in Nigeria's.
It's only going to get a bigger, a larger population
as we move forward. Nigeria is also a country that

(07:06):
is very much divided. It is a country that has
a large Muslim population and a large Christian population. I
don't know what the exact stats are in terms of
the percentage, and I don't know that anybody really has that,
but it is it might be. Well here's a graph.

(07:27):
Let's see. According to this, we've got fifty five point
five percent of the country is Muslim. We've got thirty
five point five a Protestant. We've got about ten percent Catholics.
That's forty five point five generally Christian, and then you've
got you've got the remaining which is you know, I

(07:53):
don't know what it is a small number, right because
forty five and fifty five and five is pretty much
ninety percent. So one hundred percent, so you know, there's
probably some small amount that is that is kind of native.

(08:16):
I don't know old African religions. Muslims basically live in
the north, as you'd expect, right, Islam is in North Africa,
so it's spread south. So a lot of these countries,
the northern parts of them are Muslim, southern parts are Christian.
It was Christianized by European colonists in the nineteenth century.

(08:40):
And so basically what you have is a country that's
very much split. Let's say, you know, fifty forty five
Muslim to Christian. The wealthy part of the country is
in the south. That's also where there the energy is.
That the oilers, which is what I think funds much

(09:03):
of the wealth in the country is is energy. It's
also a there is a very highly educated minority within Nigeria,
and Nigeria was I think a British colony. English is
spoken there. They have an English educational system which some
people benefit from, primarily I think in the South. So

(09:26):
there is a there's definitely a religious divide and other divides.
Muslims have been attacking Christian communities within Nigeria for years
and years you've probably heard of Bookaham, which is an
Islamist group affiliated with ISIS and al Qaida, which has
been attacking and kidnapping Christian girls, you know, and and

(09:52):
either marrying them after Muslim the Muslims enslaving them, or
just using them in order to in order to to
what do you call it, to get money for their release.
This has been going on for a very long time.
Recently so this has been primarily Bocaho primarily functions in

(10:15):
the northeast of the country, the northeast of the country. Recently,
in the northwest of the country, a couple of a
couple of Islamist groups affiliated with ISIS have established themselves
both kind of related in some way to the Islamic State, indirectly,

(10:40):
indirectly or directly, but in some ways related to them.
The United States chose to target these groups, or at
least one of these groups during this attack. So the
two hoops, you know, one is an off shoot a

(11:02):
booka Haram uh and Uh and it's it's and then
there's another one called Islamic States shal Province i s
s p P locally known a Lahua. Anyway, that's the
one it appears that the United States attacked during Christmas.

(11:29):
The message was stop killing Christians. Uh. And of course
Trump had a whole statement about how this is the
most powerful attack in history and we killed a lot
of the enemies of Christianity, and and we will not
stand by as Christians are slaughtered in Africa, and on
and on and on and on. The reality is the

(11:50):
United States has no appetite for getting into a war
in Nigeria. While Nigerians, I think, accepted this one attack,
I don't think that Nigerians are particularly interested in the
United States coming in and helping them out with these
terrorist attacks. Remember, fifty five percent of Nigeria is Muslim.
The government is, on the one hand, fighting against Islamic terrorism.

(12:15):
On the other hand, it also has to make sure
that the Muslims that live there are not going to
rebel against the government. So they have a fine line.
The Europeans are interested in kind of quiet in Africa.
They would like to see Africa developed, They'd like to
see Africa become richer and as a consequence, reduce the

(12:39):
amount of number of immigrants from Sub Sahara Africa that
are migrating north through the Sahawa Desert. Across the Mediterranean
into Europe as illegal immigrants. So everybody has an interesting
kind of quieting things down in Africa and letting economic
development happen there. But it's turning out to be incredibly difficult,

(13:02):
incredibly difficult, and so far, so far, you know, this
area is rife with warfare and tribal hatred and tribal
violence and violence between Muslims and Christians, and it probably

(13:22):
goes both ways. And Thenwgerian military is struggling to deal
with these terrorists. And now the United States has stepped
in done some bombing. I mean, I think this is
a this is like, this is great pr for Trump.
He gets to tell his base defending Christians and all
those people who listen to Taka, who think, you know,

(13:44):
Christians are the victims all over the world, primarily of
a Zionist conspiracy, but victims all over the world. Trump
can then appeal to them and say, see, I'm fighting
on your side. This is a Christian government fighting for Christians.
It's really nothing more than that, right, I mean, there's
no there's one. Bombing is not going to change anything.

(14:07):
It's not going to make the Isis suddenly give up
The United States has lost strategic positions within Africa and Niger,
which is not Nigeria. Niger, which is a border with Nigeria.
The United States had a base there where where it
was launching drones from. It lost that base when the

(14:30):
Niger government kicked There was a there was a military
coup and the new leaders kicked out the Americans. Why
the United States is in Africa is not clear if
it really wants to fight ISIS or prevent ISIS from
getting established in Africa. It really needs to. It needs

(14:53):
It would need to have a lot more forces than
it has there now. It would need to it would
need to crush the funders of ISIS and the intellectual
origins of ISIS. And for that they would need to
they would need to deal with people like the Kataris
and others in the Middle East, which the United States

(15:13):
is clearly not interested in doing. So. This is this
attack which you'll care a lot about, people are talking
a lot about. It's symbolic, it's it's a raw, raw
moment for Trump. He likes, he likes to drop bombs.
I mean, I think he really enjoys it, particularly when
there's no risk of American casualties. No risk of really,

(15:34):
you know, really descending into any kind of real war.
Blowing boats out of the Caribbean Sea. They really enjoy that.
They you know, sending missiles into uh, into the Nigerian
I don't know, jungle wilderness whatever it is, and blowing
up some Islamis. I think they enjoy that all in
the name, of course, of defending Christianity or defending American

(15:56):
from fent and all, or whatever the excuse happens to be.
But nothing more or nothing much will come of this.
I'm not saying this is the last time I make
a bombni G but this is not a new war.
They're not gonna engage in it fully, Uh. They They're
just gonna again symbolic so he can say he's defending Christians. Uh.

(16:22):
Cost a lot of money. Whatever missiles they used, and
haven't seen any evidence to suggest or anything saying what
they used cus missiles probably or or I don't think
it was drones. I think it was Krus missils. There's
no suggestion of of you know, what exactly they were
and how much they cost and what was the damage.

(16:44):
It's not clear what the damage was and what is
the long term purpose here unclear, unclear. Uh, you know
this terrorist organization look controls territories in two states and

(17:04):
they kill, they kidnap, they rape, their armed robbery. So yeah,
all the power to anybody who can who can kill them,
kill them and destroy them. But again, to really rid
Nigeria and the Christians in Nigeria of this menace of
this horrific terrorist organization require a lot more than a

(17:25):
little bit of bombing on Christmas Day and then walking away,
which is I'm sure what the United States is going
to do. Maybe this is bolstering the Nigerian military, giving
them a little bit of a little bit of confidence
in heart to tell all right, let's see. Yeah, I mean,

(17:52):
there is a lot of complexity to what's going on
in Nigeria, but there's no question there's a significant religious
time mention to this and whatever the conflict there, the
underlying tribal conflicts that are going on in Nigeria between
no man's and farmers and other things isis you know,
Islamic State and and other islam missed terrorist groups are

(18:17):
going to take advantage of it. So they're there and
they're taking advantage of it. It's not clear if Nigeria
asked for help. After the fact, they're saying it was
coordinated with them, but they're not. They're not saying they
asked explicity for help. I don't think they they I
don't think they did. I don't think they wanted. I

(18:40):
think Trump basically said we're going to do this, and
they said, well, what are we going to do? So yeah, okay,
go ahead, you know, just don't make this a habit.
But we'll see, We'll see, all right. Over the week.
Over the last few days, I've seen a bunch of
stories about kots has influence campaigns in the United States,

(19:05):
and the amount of funding that they are just expending
around US is truly stunning, and the number of people
that they are lining up. I've seen some official documents.
You know, if you lobby on behalf of a if

(19:25):
you lobby on behalf of PHNT government, you have to
register in the United States. And for example, we know
now that KATSA is paying eighty eight thousand dollars a
month a month, in other words, nine hundred and sixty
dollars a nine sixty thousand dollars a year to several

(19:46):
former Congressmen Jim Moran, Tim McMillan, Tom Davis, Tom Reynolds,
nine hundred and sixty thousand dollars. God, I should become
a congressman. I should, I should run for Congress. I mean,
it's an incredibly lucrative business. Not why you're in Congress.
You have to be in Congress a little while and

(20:06):
then you leave, and then you become a lobbyist, and
then again the Katai is coming in giving you because
nine hundreds sixty thousand dollars. I mean a lot of
people would sell their soul to the devil, never mind
to Katau for nine hundred and sixty thousand dollars a year.
I mean, that is it. You do a few years
like that and you're done. Uh anyway, see you got

(20:29):
you got four former congressmen, uh, you know working for
kata And that's you know, just and and that's just
partial list of all the different people that that they've
got listed here in terms of you know, taking phone

(20:52):
calls and and and and dealing with Katawi issues. So
so it really is, it really is amazing the number
of people that they have on their payroll. In addition,
and this kind of surprised me, but I guess nothing
should surprise me. Bennett. Remember William Ballnett, Bill Bennett. He

(21:14):
must be pretty old now, But Bill Bennett, you know,
a mainstay of Republican politics was education secretary, and Reagan
wrote those books about kind of morality stories for kids,
with some good stuff in there, some bad stuff in

(21:38):
They're very religious, quite religious. He's eighty two. According to
neb Sampson, he's eighty two years old. Anyway, it turns
out that he is being paid thirty thousand dollars a month,
a lot cheaper. I don't know, maybe because he's eighty
two and can't really work that hard. Maybe this is
just a part time job. He's being paid thirty thousand

(21:59):
dollars a month by the Qataris that, you know, to
convince Americans that Katari universities don't support Islamic extremism. That's
explicity in his charter. Intos what he's supposed to do. God,

(22:19):
how much would they pay me? You know? Maybe this
is how this is how I really retire. I go
in the payroll of katl. Now this is a headline
for New York Posts, so granted, you know, it could
be fake, writes The New York Post says, how to tell,
but it could be also be true given everything else

(22:41):
that's going on. According to this this is the headline,
Kata allegedly hired x CIA agent to discredit Senator Chad
Kuz and other lawmakers opposed to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.
Uh so yeah, with that shock anybody if that was true? No,

(23:04):
not at all, not at all. Of course we know,
Oh we suspect strongly, strongly. Uh that tucka is is
on the payroll. Who knows. Maybe Candas is getting some
some crumbs here and there. I don't know. They might
not have to pay Candace to be as anti Semitic

(23:24):
as she is. That might be just just natural, come
natural to her. But but maybe they had to pay Tucker.
Uh maybe they had to compete with Putin in order
to pay Tucker to see who could who could get
more of his attention. I think Cats won. He hasn't
spoken positively that much about Putin recently. I don't know

(23:47):
if Nick foyintis Again. I don't know that they have
to pay nikfo intus. I think he does it for free.
Like how much would they have to pay me? I mean,
it would cost a lot more than eighty a month, right,
some assault the devil would the price be? Yeah? So also,

(24:08):
you know you find if you if you dig hard enough,
on a lot of kind of the anti Israel, anti
American Twitter accounts now that you can imagine and click
on them and and find out where they're based. Uh,
it's it's it's really interesting to do it. Today. There's
this one account called Israel Exposed is all exposed, and

(24:29):
it comes across as an American and if you support Israel,
he'll come out and say, oh, you're in Israel. First,
we should deport you from America. All this stuff. And
now you can click on Israel Exposed and you'll find
that it's in a count based in Saudi Arabia. So, uh,
we live in a in a what would you call

(24:52):
propaganda rich environment, propaganda rich world where a lot of
what you read is very hard to tell, h how
much of it is being bought and paid for and
how much is actually real? And it is. It is fascinating,
of course, fascinating that a media many people on the
right and on the left obsessed about apac they're obsessed

(25:16):
about is really lobbying that happened on behalf of visual
APAC is funded not by the Israeli government. APEC is
funded by American Jews or Americans more broadly. But it's
it's lobbying for Israel generally. Isn't it fascinating that it
constantly you hear about APEX influence on the American government.

(25:38):
And I bet you anything that APEX only spends a
fraction a fraction of what countries like Katar and Saudi
Arabia and other countries like that are spending, are spending.
So yeah, they are. Who is lying? Somebody is accusing

(26:12):
somebody of lying. Tucker never took any money, he said,
he isn't. Teka lies more than he tells the truth.
Taka lies more than he tells the truth. Now, I

(26:34):
don't know if he took money or not. You know,
I don't know that he needs to take money. I mean,
he he is. He makes a lot of money in
a show anyway, But to take Tucker's would at anything,
given the absolute unmitigated lies that he tells on a

(26:54):
regular basis about pretty much everything, and just how just
how despicable and uh anti any values the man has become.

(27:15):
And but you know, it's just unbelievable that you would
take anything he says on face value. It's not it's
not a bad idea to lie about something you can
easily be exposed to. Trump every single day lies about

(27:36):
things that are easy to expose him. He doesn't care
Tucker lies. He doesn't care because he gets your attention.
People like you make Tucker's lying possible because you don't care.
The reality is that Americans who listening to TAKA, there
are millions of people who watch TACA, don't care about lyings.

(27:58):
They don't watch TUCA because because they seek the truth.
They watched Tucker because they want whatever he is dishing out,
the kind of propaganda, the kind of bias, the kind
of you know, ill informed lying that he engages, and
that's exactly what they want. They're getting exactly what they
signed up for. But you know, when when when Trump

(28:21):
says something like tell us of one in eighteen trillion dollars,
I mean, that is an obvious, easily checkable, easily under
you know, discovered lie, and he keeps repeating it. It
doesn't matter saying one iota. But he lies all the time.

(28:42):
And you know, Tucker's basically the same thing. I mean,
he always he's a little bit more sensitive to asking questions,
remember asking questions. But he's lying. He's evasive, evading, disingenuous. Uh,

(29:08):
and the worst kind of liar. I mean, think about
the supermarket story. Think about this. People want to hear
all sides of the argument, but he has no argument,
and there is no other side. There is truth all
sides of the argument. Is one of the lamest, stupidest

(29:30):
thing I've ever heard. Like, I want to hear maybe
Hitler was a good guy who knows, we don't know.
Let's hear. Let's hear Hitler's side of the argument. Really,
it's just Stallins side of the argument. Let's here the
I mean, who's a big named serial killer. Let's hear

(29:51):
the serial killer's side of the argument. Maybe there's some
justification for you know, raping and butchering young women. God,
why would you want to hear any of that? I mean,
that just shows how unthinking our culture has become, how emotionalist, subjectivist,

(30:18):
relativists this culture has become. What is the value of
hearing untruth? What is the value of hearing lies? What
is the value of hearing people, you know, spew evil nonsense?

(30:45):
There is none, zero results, not a but we live
in a culture where people enjoy wasting their time. Wasting
their time, you know, to to to make up your
mind about Hitler, you don't need to hear a Nazi.

(31:07):
Maybe a bunch of history books. You can even read
Mine Couf. Why even why even you know, listen to
historian read Mine Kauff. You can actually check out some
of his speeches. There are transcripts of Hitler's speeches. You
can you can do it firsthand. Why would you want
to listen to a to an evil intellectual trying to

(31:28):
justify the horrors of not of Hitler anyway? You know,
this is a candle uh is just rationalizing, rationalizing his
uh you know, his interest in in the subjective as

(31:51):
the relativists, the the evil and just trying to justify
uh Taka and the rest of them. Hi uh. Yeah.
A few things about anti Semitism that came out over
the last few days. So it's the tech of course

(32:12):
for Jdvan's not Tucker jed Evans. Of course, it's kind
of stuck in this position where he doesn't want to
comment on the anti Semitism because he doesn't want to
upset the Tucker Carson fans who Tucker's a huge support
of Jady Van says, I don't know what his views are.
I don't know that anybody knows what actually Jdvans thinks.
He went after Nick foyintus, but only because Nick Fointis,

(32:35):
you know, went after his wife, but not after Nick
Pointis in terms of any of the ideas or any
of his substances stuff. So he's got this what does
he do with anti Semitism? So basically he came out
with the statement, you know, a few couple of days
ago saying almost no American's anti Semitic, and and really

(33:02):
all of this is just it's just people are using
this just as an excuse not to you know, not
to not to discuss US policy and Israel. She's taking
techer Cousin's line. No, no, none of this is anti symmetrism,

(33:25):
I know, deal with anti semitism. Techer Costun tells us,
I'm just asking questions about US support for Israel. You know,
all everything that Israel, you know, everything that Israel does,
US maybe shouldn't support Israel. And that's the conversation. But

(33:46):
of course that has nothing to do with the conversation.
This is not about US support for Israel. This is
all about preaching hatred for Israel and by extension, for Jews.
Tucker Cosson does not only talk about Israel. He talks
about Jews more broadly, but he loves talking about Israel,

(34:07):
and he lies explicitly about Israel. I mean, there was
this great segment where he was talking about how in
Katau Christians treated better than Christians are treated in Israel,
which is just one lie after lie after lie, easily debunked,

(34:28):
easily found out. You can ask GROC, can ask GPT,
or you could travel to kata and you can travel
to Israel and check it out yourself. So you know,

(34:49):
he clearly lies about Israel in order to create a
certain attitude about Israel. You know, the most recent example
of this is that gets the former congressman, the wacky
former congressman who had to withdraw from from I think
Donald Trump woanted to make him attorney general, which is bizarre,

(35:12):
and he had to withdraw from that because even Republicans,
who typically do everything Donald Trump tells them to do,
wouldn't vote for Matt Goetz as as as attorney general. Anyway,
Matt Guts in his h in if you were teching
out has said that, you know, the accusations that he
that he the uh you know, had sex with underage

(35:34):
prostitutes and trafficked underage goals, you know, those accusations that
there was a whole congressional investigation about. Well, it turns
out you will be shocked to discover that all of that,
all of that was an attempt by Israel to Israeli operatives, uh,
to he can look bad. This was all a in

(35:57):
an Israeli undercover operation, uh to make him look bad. Right,
And Techer Carlson in the interview is going along with
this completely. He's not asking questions, he's not challenging anything.
You know, Matt Getz is just making stuff up. And
I mean the US never investigated it into Israel's involvement,

(36:22):
and yeah, this was all. You know, Matt Getz is
really just a nice guy. He's just a friendly guy.
He doesn't use prostitutes at all, and he's certainly not
in the underage ones, and he doesn't traffic in any goes.
He's just you know, all of that was just an
Israeli mosade, you know, story to discredit him because I

(36:46):
don't know he was asking questions, remember, asking questions, asking
questions about Israel, and these Raelings won't tolerate that, so
they immediately go, you know, and and you know, I
won't be surprised if next it's going to be Jeffrey
Epstein actually worked for these really Mossad. Oh no, no,
we've already that's already been covered. They've already they've already
tried that angle. It turns out that in all the

(37:10):
hundreds of or hundreds of thousands of documents so far
released about Jeffrey Epstein, nothing indicates that he actually worked
for these really Mossad. Maybe that's because these really Masad
has covered the tracks so damn well that but we
know it's there, we know the evidence is there, just
amount of time before it comes out. Supposedly there's still

(37:32):
a million more documents to be released in the Jeffrey
Epstein issue. Look, you know, so you know JP jd
Vance wants to say, Antie says was overstated. Just a

(37:53):
few days after the Bondi Beach murders, he is criticizing
people who are especially concern you know, we should we
shouldn't really make a big deal out of this. He
is he is treading a very fine line, right, treading

(38:13):
a very fine line, and it's going to be interesting.
He's trying to maintain the pro Israel magabase and the
anti Israel mega base and trying to trying to somehow
juggle and keep them both up in the air. At
the same time also doing a lot of juggling. Is
is is making Kelly, so making Kelly is now saying, look, yeah,

(38:39):
there is anti Semitism, but anti Semitism is actually being created.
It's been created by Shapiro and Barry Weiss. That is,
Shapiro and Barry Weiss are making anti Semites because of
how obnoxious they are. It's not Taco Is making anti Semites.

(39:01):
It's not Tucker spewing antisemitic lies and rewarding and encouraging
anti semitism. No, no, no, no. It's Shapiro and Weiss.
Because they're defending Israel and because they're attacking Tucker, and
because they're standing up of their values, they are creating

(39:22):
anti Semitism in response to them. It's not Candas Owen,
No no, no. Candas is not convincing anybody. She's not
creating any anti Semets. It's the people trying to defend themselves.
It's the people pointing out the anti Semitism of Candace
and the antiseematism of Tucker. They're the ones creating the

(39:43):
anti Semitism. This follows an ancient pattern of anti Semitism
the Jews that are blame. What did Barry Weiss do she?
You know, she defends Israel and she attacks Tucker Cawson
and candas own. I mean, it's an ancient pattern of

(40:07):
blaming the Jews for their own destruction. Why would Jews
kicked out of England? Oh? I don't know, but they
must have done something. Why would England kick them out
like England kicked them out in the thirteenth century or
something for two hundred years. We know Jews in England.
Why did the Holocaust happen? Well, Jews must have done something.
I mean, you don't get six million people and they

(40:28):
can't really be innocent. There has to be something that
they did. Why are Tucker Causon and Candace blaming Jews
for killing Charlie Coco asking just asking questions? Well, they
can't be fully innocent. Maybe they didn't like Charlie. Maybe
they conspied against Charlie. Maybe they thought about killing Charlie.

(40:49):
Maybe there's something there that's not completely dismissed. This unbelievable,
the how low making Kennedy has descended, have descended. Uh,
it's it's Jews are always blamed for their own persecution,

(41:13):
always blame for their own persecution. Uh, it's always their fault,
always their fault. I mean yep, And you know, look, Uh,
I'll just I'll just say this and we'll go on.

(41:34):
But anti Semitism is becoming a real powerful force out
there on the left and on the right. For right podcasters, Uh,
it monetizes, well, it gets you a lot of views
and a lot of attention. Now granted there's a lot
of bots involved and a lot of those Katari influenced campaigns,

(41:57):
but it gets attention. It might be, it might be caught.
It might even be China. China loves to stir things
up in the United States destabilize American institutions. So it's
on the left, it's on the right, it's in college campuses,

(42:17):
it's uh, it's in Maga, it's all over the place.
And it's not a good sign for culture. When this
becomes a you know, when this becomes a real feature
of the culture and the debates and the discussions going on.
The good news is that it's still a minority, right,

(42:41):
but it's a growing minority, and it's a it's a
it's a ever growing and becoming more significant, influential minority.
And when somebody like the Vice President of the United
States refuses to condemn it and belittles it and provide
sanction for anti Semitis themselves, then it's a real problem.

(43:06):
It's beyond just a nuisance or a bad sign. It
becomes now something that becomes part of the culture and
something we have to be really worried about as we
move forward. Well, the New York Times, I mean, we

(43:30):
all know The New York Times is a bias newspaper.
We all know that The New York Times is left
of center, quite sometimes very left of center on some stories,
but generally left. Generally, it's going to be critical of
Trump and critical of Republican governments generally. Sometimes it's horrifically left,

(43:57):
and sometimes it's just modernly biased, but it is. It
is one of the few, very few news organizations out
there that actually does in depth reporting. And one of
your jobs as a reader and consumer of information is

(44:17):
to take into account the bias that you know that
exists and adjust for it. But the reality is that
without entities like the New York Times, and almost all
of them are left biased, there is very little kind
of the in depth reporting, you would get very little,
if any, in depth reporting about issues. And of course,
you know, the New York Times has really doven deep

(44:40):
into the Epstein files, the Jeffrey Epstein files, and they
come out a number of stories based on the released information,
and one of them was a story about the relationship
between Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. I mean, the article itself
never really accuses Trump of anything any you know, any

(45:03):
in a sense illegal behavior, let's put it that way.
But it does point out that for many years something
that seems irrefutable Trump had. It was a very close
friend of Jeffrey Epstein's, traveled on his plane way many
more times than he admits to. This is all probably
in the nineties and the early two thousands, so before

(45:26):
it seems like it's before Epstein was accused of anything
legally got into legal trouble. But they did an in
depth piece on Trump and jeff Jy Epstein and how
close they were for a long, long time. And this

(45:46):
is of course Trump's response. I mean, this is about
as an American response as it gets. The failing New
York Times, and they lies and purposeful miss representation is
a serious threat to national security. Foundation. Now here's another

(46:09):
example of Trump just lying, blatantly, lying, blatantly lyn and
national security threat to the state. Now we'll get to

(46:32):
what that means in a minute. He continues, the radical left,
unhinged behavior writing fake articles and opinions a never ending way,
must be dealt with and stopped. They are a true
enemy of the people. They are true animated people. All caps.
Thank you for the attention in this matter. The note
what this note untrue social does? It basically says that

(47:00):
the New York Times need to be stopped, stop writing
stories that Donald Trump does not like, stop writing stories
that criticize Donald Trump, or that Donal Trump believes a
fake and it's positioned as a national security threat. Now,
if this in and of itself just a statement is

(47:20):
not a violation of the First Amendment, I don't know
what is. When the president of the United States, carrying
a very big stake, or a very big gun, as
the case may be, threatens a major publication with being
stopped because of national security risks, when of course there's

(47:45):
no national security at stake. That is a direct threat
to their freedom of speech, that is a direct threat
to their First Amendment rights. I mean, if that doesn't
cause what's called the chilling self censorship, people starting to
limit what they can and cannot say because they're afraid

(48:06):
that Donald Trump will come after them. I mean, in
many respects, Donald Trump, at least in his statements, in
his lawsuits and his attacks through the legal system on
law firms. I can't think, at least in my lifetime,

(48:27):
of a more anti free speech president. This makes in
my view, this makes what Biden did, which was horrific,
horrific visavi Twitter looked like child's play. This is so
much more effective, so much more destructive. And of course
this explains why Barry Weiss kills the story at CBS

(48:51):
to a large extent, because CBS has already settled a
lawsuit that Trump filed against them regarding a sixty minutes story.
They don't want another lawsuit, so they self discipline to
cut stuff that is overly critical of Donald Trump and
his administration because they're afraid are being stopped and being

(49:12):
dealt with through lawsuits. And remember you don't it's very
rare the lawsuit like this goes to court. I mean,
I wish they did all the way to Supreme Court.
They should be viewed as violation of through this amendment.
But instead they're settled because it's very, very expensive to

(49:33):
try these cases. Trump I think has a billion dollar
lawsuit against the New York Times, I think, or was
it It was thrown out. I think a judge threw
it out already. So but it's intimidating intimidation. And this
again is what I mentioned this a few shows ago.
This is what the right has learned from the experience

(49:54):
of Obon and Putin. You can intimidate yourself. You can
use intimidation and ownership by friends and family to basically
shut down independent media. And that's what happened in Hungary.
And of course that plus real violence is what happened

(50:16):
in Putsins Russia. All Right, unbelievable that he can tweet
what he tweets national security risk, you know, a serious
threat to the national security of our nation. He can

(50:38):
say they need to be stopped, and again it gets
almost no real explosion. All right, this is kind of
a funny story. So there's a there's a problem in
the world right now. Right birth rates are plumbting, women
are not you know, couples are not having enough children,
women are not having enough children, populations that collapse in

(51:00):
place like South Korea and elsewhere, and even the United States,
people are really worried about people are not having enough babies. Well,
it turns out that some billionaires have a solution to this.
We certainly know that alone Mosque is trying to single
handedly solve this problem. He's got I think fourteen children
by three different wives, and I think more probably on

(51:21):
the way. But he is an amateur as compared to
some of these others. Two in particular, we've got one,
Pavel Duo. Pavel Duov is the owner CEO of Telegram.
He's the guy who got arrested I think in France.

(51:41):
Was it a year ago, six months ago, I can't
tell the time, And he got arrested and because of
Telegram supposedly being used for money laundering and stuff like that,
child pornography. But I'm not sure. I haven't followed the
court case. I'm not sure what happened anyway. Pavel is

(52:05):
claiming that he has over one hundred biological kids. Now
he has not done this through the same mechanism as
Elon Mosque. But here here is his pavel's story as
he's expressed it on telegram. Fifteen years ago, a friend
of mine approached me with a weird request. He said

(52:25):
that he and his wife couldn't have kids due to
a fertility issue and asked me to donate sperm at
a clinic for them to have a baby. I left
my ass off before realizing he was dead serious. The
boss of the clinic told me that high quality donor
material was in truth supply and it was my civic
duty to donate more spum to anonymously help more couples.

(52:47):
Now this sounded crazy enough to get me to sign
up for sperm donation. Fast forward to twenty twenty four.
My past donating activity has helped over one hundred couples
in twelve countries to have kids. Moreover, many years after
I stop being a donum, at least one IVF clinic

(53:08):
still has my frozen spum available for anonymous use by
families who want to have kids. Now, I plan to
open source my DNA so that my biological children can
find each other more easily. Of course they are risks,
but I don't regret having been a donum. The shortage

(53:29):
of healthy spum has become an increasingly serious issue worldwide,
and I'm proud that I did my power to help
alleviate it. I also want to help destigmatize the whole
notion of spum donation and incentivize more healthy men to
do it so that family struggling to have kids can
enjoy more options, defy convention, redefine the norm. So he

(53:51):
is with the spum in high quality. You know, he's
a really smart guy. I suppose he really high quality
is out there. You can still get his sprom if
any of you are interested out there from the Ultra
Vita clinic. And supposely this last summer, during an interview

(54:14):
with a French magazine, he's announced he's actually announced that
his biological children, that is, these hundred kids all going
to receive an equal share of his inheritance. Now, Forbes
pegs his wealth is seventeen billion. He divide that by
one hundred, that is still one hundred and seventy million each.

(54:36):
Right now, of course, all of that depends on the
value of telegram and who knows what telegram is actually worth.
But he also owns a lot of bitcoin from what
we've heard that he bought in twenty thirteen. Who knows
what that's worth, given that he bought it in twenty thirteen.
So now with DNA tests, you can check to see

(54:58):
if you're af young enough, if you're a child of
of the Telegram ceo, and maybe you can collect uh,
you know, a nine figure payday when doo of dies.
Of course he could change his mind by then. But

(55:18):
but yeah, I mean, now this has become uh, this
became a story h in a but on top of it,
this became a story and others are also doing it
right in terms of not just phone donation. But now
there's a whole slegacy. Uh, there's a whole sugacy industry

(55:42):
that is that exists in the United States, which it
turns out Chinese billionaires are taking advantage of the Wall
Seat Journal had a series of articles and all this stuff.
So it turns out that there's a Chinese billionaire that
they called Shoe Boo x Ubo x U one word

(56:03):
b oh another word right, uh, that has basically paid
couples all over California to have his children as surrogates
the Chinese billionaire. So you know, we're surrogates. A judges
to sign off on the paternal on the paternal rights,

(56:27):
I guess, and usually it's just a formality. But in
this case, in this case, the judge noticed that the
same book, Chinese billionaire was seeking paternal rights over four
unborn children. And then the court did a little bit

(56:48):
more research and they found that he had fathered eight
other children, all through surrogates in the United States, and
you know, the the uh, several of his kids, for example,

(57:11):
are being raised by nannies in Ovine, California as they
wait peoperwork to travel to China. And so the judge
is now denied his requests for parentage, you know. And
so these babies, these four babies don't have a parent, right,

(57:33):
they're not, they're not the surrogan isn't a parent, and
he's denied the parentage of the biological parent, and they
kind of legal limbo. It's not what's going to happen
to them. But what turns out is there are a
number of these Chinese billionaires who are now in a
sense having anchor babies in the United States. They are

(57:56):
hiring surrogates in the US. Now, the US, as compared
to other countries, has a fair loose or fairly free
looses the wrong word free surrogate laws. You can you
can hire a surrogate to have your kids, which is
not the case in a lot of other places. So
there are a number of Chinese parents are paying millions

(58:19):
in surrogate's fee to hire women in the United States
to help them build a family. And the one of
the benefits of this is that the kids are US
citizens because they're born in the United States. So you know,

(58:42):
there's another Chinese executive one who woe something like that.
He hired US models and others as egg donors to
have ten goals with the aim of one day marrying
them off to powerful men. Again, according to people in
his kind of executive circle Chinese clients. This is from
the Wall stat Jene article. Usually seeking more typical numbers

(59:04):
of children high powered executives lacking the time and inclination
to bear their own children, older parents or same sex couples.
According to people who arrange sugacy deals and work in
sogacy law, so you know, all have their wealth to
go outside of China, they maintain their privacy. And yeah,

(59:26):
the United States is the best market to do this
again because you get citizenship and because again the laws
are pretty favorable to surrogacy. The market's gown so sophisticated,
according to the Wall Steat Gien article, that at times
Chinese parents have had us born children without stepping foot

(59:49):
in the country. A thriving mini industry of American surrogacy agency,
law firms, clinics, delivery agency and nanny services even to
pick up the newborns. Hospital has risen to accommodate the
demanding permitting parents to ship the genetic material abroad and
get a baby delivered back at a cost of up

(01:00:11):
to and in some cases more than two hundred thousand
dollars per child. The going Asian market for international fertility
services has drawn the attention of American investors, including Peter Teel,
whose family officers back the chain of IVF clinics across
Southeast Asia and recently opened up a branch in Los Angeles.

(01:00:36):
So maybe this is you know, maybe you know, these
uh not quite test you babies yet. But the solution,
of course, the facility problem is going to be taste
you babies and people. You know, ultimately you will need
a womb in order to create a baby. You'll be
able to do it all outside of a woman's womb,

(01:00:58):
and you'll be able to you'll be able to to
have as many babies as you want without going through pregnancy.
And I think that'll that'll increase the number of children
people are willing to have. Now, there's already, of course,
a bill in Congress to ban the use of celegacy
in the US white people from foreign countries, particularly China,

(01:01:23):
And so this is something that Congress is looking at.
And yeah, so billionaires around the world having lots of
kids in different ways, either through spun donations, sleeping with
a bunch of different women, or in the case here
of actually just hiring somebody in California to have your baby,

(01:01:46):
sending them a genetic material, doing it all, hiring nannies
to take care of them, and them shipping them back
to China with a brand new minted US passport. It's
pretty amazing, pretty amazing. All right, let's see, we'll do
these quickly. So Zelensky, it sounds like Zelenski is traveling

(01:02:08):
tomorrow ago this weekend to meet with Trump, to try
to finalize the finalize the Ukrainian peace deal that you know,
so a deal that Ukrainian Ukraine is willing to sign
off that then we'll go to Russia to get russia approval.
H Zelensky is still uncomfortable with the idea of giving

(01:02:31):
up vast amounts of territory and just giving it to
the Russians, and he's trying to come and convince Trump
that that is really unacceptable. But you know, we'll see.
They're going to meet on Sunday to finalize this. It
does sound like whatever is finalized, which will involve territory

(01:02:53):
concessions by Ukraine. There is no doubt about that. Now
that it's clear that the United States were not back
Ukraine in actually fighting this war, I think Ukraine has
no choice. In the Europeans too cowardly to fully back them.
I think again, Ukraine has no choice. Zolensky is saying

(01:03:15):
that once he agrees with Trump and if the Russians
agree to it, which I think is still unlikely, then
Zolenski will take the plan to a nationwide referendum. He
can't give up land without a referendum. He's willing to
do that. Only if Russia agrees to a cease fire

(01:03:37):
of at least sixty days so that they can set
up the Ukrainians can set up the infrastructure to actually
get a vote on this. So Trump's plan is going
to mean some territorial concessions from Ukraine in the east.
It's just a question of how many. That's why Zelenski's
coming to Malago to determine how much concession. But they're

(01:04:01):
going to have to do this referendum to get a past.
It's not clear to anybody that Russia is going to
agree to this plan, and I doubt that they will.
And I think that's why Zelenski is kind of agreeing
to this stuff, because I think he thinks he'd rather
agree to it and let Putin kill the deal, because

(01:04:24):
he hopes that then Trump will side with him and
not with Putin. He's an optimist. This agreement includes significant,
you know, security guarantees to Ukraine, hopefully more secure than
past security guarantees, you know. According to Zelenski said, I

(01:04:47):
think we are ready with the security guarantee documents. This
would be security guarantees that would be a bilateral agreement
between the US and Ukraine. There's still something, he says,
some tech things they have to deal with. For example,
how long will the security guarantees last? The US has
proposed a fifteen year agreement. Is Zelinsky would like more

(01:05:11):
than fifteen years. You know, we'll see, And you know,
Zelenski definitely wants US security guarantees, not European security guarantees.
He also, of course is praising wit Coffin Kushner. He's
learned the game. The game is you have to continuously,

(01:05:34):
you know, continuously praise anybody related to Trump. So anyway,
we will see, well, no more at the end of
this weekend. And of course it's not clear how the
Ukrainians will vote if there's a referendum. It's not clear
how the Ukrainians will vote. Also on Sunday, the European

(01:06:00):
leaders expected to zoom in. But you know, uh well, no,
I guess European leaders are going to have a conversation
with Trump on Saturday to get everyone up to speed,
and then the Lensky will meet with Trump on Sunday.
Uh so we'll see, we'll see how his relationship is

(01:06:23):
with Trump. And it depends whether JD. Evans shows up
or not. All right, quickly on Japan. UH, big big
changes in Japan UH. And you know, Japan has in
its constitution basically a pacifist provision. It cannot spend a

(01:06:44):
lot of money on defense, it cannot spend money on
offensive weapons, it can't go to war really, and and
Japanese Japan is clearly UH changing that or working against that,
and and might have to change its constant ultimately. Since
the Japanese Prime Minister indicated that Japan would come to

(01:07:07):
the aid of Taiwan if China invaded Taiwan, her popularity
is skyrocketed in Japan. She now has an approval rating
of something like seventy eight percent of something ridiculous like that,
which just proves that nationalism sells. Nationalism cells standing up
to China cells anyway. As a consequence of that, and

(01:07:27):
as a consequence of the back and forth that the
Chinese and the increased hostilities, the Japanese cabinet has now
proved a record fifty billion dollars in defense spending. It's
the largest military expansion for the Japanese since World War Two.
And it's a real shift. It's a real shift in strategy,
real shift in approach. A lot of the money is

(01:07:50):
going to go for a variety of different missiles from
offensive missiles that can actually reach the Chinese mainland. Of course,
China's not that far away from Japan to a defense
significant a defense spending and drone swarms. Japan has the
industrial capacity to really compete on the development and the

(01:08:14):
production of large quantities of drones drone swarms that can
both work in the air, on the sea and under
the sea. And they've also proved a billion dollars for
as part of a consortium with the UK and Italy
for the development of a next generation fighter jets, So

(01:08:40):
this is going to be significant. Japan has hit two
percent of GDP and defense spending. This is two years
earlier than expected. It is striving towards reaching three point
five percent h and it is a you know, it
is a major force. It is the you know, the
United States does not have much of a capacity, for example,

(01:09:01):
to build ships. Japan dozz and probably has the third
strongest navy in the world after the United States and China.
You know, South Korea is also ramping up, you know,
the the it's spending on defense. So you've got South Korea, Japan,
and of course the United States is just to prove

(01:09:23):
to eleven billion in alms to Taiwan. Just those see
countries are formative force. I'm not sure China can deal
with never mind the United States, but I think it's
still hopefully this is still all enough to deter the
Chinese rather than actually to get engaged in a war

(01:09:45):
where who knows, who knows what would happen? All right?
Two years ago, two years ago, have you Emulay came
into office. He one and he came into office and
since then he's really revolutionized the Argentinian economy. The successes

(01:10:09):
have been stunning, whether it's the poverty rate was just
announced as plummeted to twenty seven point five percent in
the third quarter, which is down from fifty two point nine.
Inflation is down to around two percent a month, down
from thirty percent a month, Government spending is way down,

(01:10:30):
the government's running so pluses. The success has been astounding.
And you know, this is particularly rewarding for anybody who
advocates for free markets or for a limited government, and
in particular given how conventional mainstream economists predicted that Melee

(01:10:52):
would be a mass of failure and would destroy the
Argentinian economy. The reality has been, of course ex actually
the opposite. Maybe the most important thing that happening right
now that's happened this year with regard to me Laide
is the fact that not only all these economic numbers

(01:11:13):
are much much better and economic life is better, I
think the spirit of Argentinians is much much better. They're
much more excited. But it's that it's that in Argentina,
a country that has voted for leftist Peronas governments over
and over and over and over and over and over
and over again, in spite of everything, the electorate has

(01:11:36):
now voted for me Laye, not only for president but
now for parliament as well. I think the election that
just happened was it a month or so ago, unbelievably
inspiring and suggests that there's a fundamental shift happening within
Argentinian society. Now it could shift back. Malay still has

(01:11:58):
to be successful, continue to be successful, but the shift
is real. It's when people go visit Argentina they talk
about the change in atmosphere. Augustina from the Ironman Institute
is just being to Argentina and she's got an op
ed in the Arnge County Register. You can read it

(01:12:18):
where she was just dying. She talked to people and
she observed just how people are and it's different. She's
from originally farm Argentina and the country has changed. You'd
expect freedom to change your people, and it does. We'll
have Augustina on the show soon, hopefully to talk more

(01:12:42):
about Melay and about Argentina. But I just wanted to
point this out, remind you this is probably the most
one of the most positive stories of twenty twenty five.
The other part of this is what we haven't still
for twenty twenty six. Malaya's working I understand on major

(01:13:05):
reforms of labor markets and major reforms of the tax code,
which would have if he can get the past Congress.
He still doesn't have a majority in Congress, but if
he can get the past Congress, would have profound impact
on the economy of Argentina. And if he can do
that this year and start seeing the benefits of those

(01:13:26):
provisions in twenty twenty seven, an election year, and then
get re elected in twenty twenty seven, another four years
of Malay. Now you're talking about a real revolution and
maybe succeeding in turning Argentina. As Melee says he wants
to into the freest country on the planet. That would
be something, that would be something He's still a long

(01:13:47):
way to go. Argentina is still heavily regulated, heavily and
in distorted ways taxed, and you know, he still has
a lot to use that chain and so on. But
it's getting there. And twenty twenty six, I think is
going to be another pivotal year. Twenty twenty five was
a pivotal year and he made it because he got

(01:14:09):
the congressional election going his way. Now he needs twenty
twenty six, He needs the economic benefits of that to
bounce him in twenty twenty seven. He woulds to win
that election, and that'd be amazing. All right, That is
the news on this Fightay, December twenty six, and we

(01:14:32):
will We've got an Ama tomorrow, so Ama asked me
anything tomorrow at I think it's two pm East Coast time,
same time as today. And then I'm not sure when
the next show is going to be. But I do
want to remind everybody the January thirty first is the
big year in review. Looking forward to twenty twenty six show,
we'll talk about me Lay again, among many other things.

(01:14:56):
And yeah, it would be great if you guys showed up.
It's a big fundraising show, so we're trying to raise
a lot of money this year. It'll be you know,
I'm trying to raise at least fifteen thousand dollars during
the show. If we can get to twenty, it would
be that's my stretch goal, so somewhere between fifteen to

(01:15:17):
twenty thousand, twenty thousand being the you know, crazy stretch goal.
So I'm hoping you guys will participate. I'm hoping you
guys will join. This is December thirty, first, one pm
East Coast time. We'll go for at least four hours,
so you don't have to join at one pm. You
can come durin the show at some point. Please come
and contribute and support the show in some way. Now,

(01:15:40):
contributions are limited on YouTube to five hundred dollars per show,
so you know you will oh meany be able to
do five hundred dollars on that show. Say anybody wants
to do more of that. Anybody wants to do more
of that, you'll have to You'll have to use PayPal
to do it. So you can go any time between

(01:16:01):
today and the thirty first and go to PayPal and
do a one time contribution, and I will count it
towards the goal that we have on the show. So
I will have PayPal in front of me during the show.
I'll be able to track what people are doing in
PayPal and what people are doing in YouTube, and I'll
also count what has happened before the show. Just make

(01:16:22):
a note for New Year's Eve show, just just noted this.
I know that it's not your some other contribution, but
it's directly for this. Let's see what else. Yes, in
terms of the show, what does Ian say? Is there

(01:16:44):
a match this year? Not yet, But if anybody out
there wants to do a match, you can do an
unlimited match as you can match as many dollars as
you want. You'll just have to do the match on
PayPal after the fact, which is fine, but again I'll
count it all towards the total. So if anybody out
there wants to do a match, please consider doing it.

(01:17:05):
We can do more than one matches, we can match several.
So so far nobody step forward to do a match,
but that well, I think will help get us to
the goal for people to know that every dollar that
they give us match by somebody and that'll double everything up.
But the target is between fifteen to twenty thousand dollars,
which is a lot of money to do in four hours.

(01:17:28):
So it's going to be like five hours an hour,
five thousand dollars an hour. We'll see if we can
do that straight for four hours. Andrews says, we need
a whale for the match. Yes, somebody out there, one
of my whales. If you want to do a match,
let me know. That would be really, really amazing. Andrews says,

(01:17:50):
he's just a trout, he's not a whale. So he's
encouraging all of you guys, the whales out there to
come forward and propose them. All right, let's see what
else do we want to do? Yes, I wanted to
mention that. I want to mention quickly our sponsors for
the show. We've got Hendershot Wealth dot com, slash ybs.

(01:18:14):
Hender Shot with two t'swealth dot com slash ybs offering
products that can reduce your capital gains tax liabilities. They've
also got a product that now can reduce your straight
out income tax. We'll talk I'll be doing an interview
with Robert about that. In the next few months, but
in the meantime it's the it's the capital gains product

(01:18:35):
that is out there. I encourage you to watch the interview.
It's on my playlists on the sponsors that I did
with Robit and if you're interested it all, check out
the website and uh and sign up and have a
conversation with him. It might be relevant to you, it
might not. I don't know, but it's it's worth an attempt.
Michael Michael Williams from Defenders of Capitalism dot com is

(01:18:59):
a sponsor. Michael both a friend and a colleague at
Definders of Capitalism dot com, to which I contribute as
a speaker. Incredible value, particularly leadership program of the Rockies,
educating the next generation of leaders in Colorado on the
ideas of capitalism. Alex Epstein the number one thinker in

the future. So sign up on patreon dot com show
for monthly monthly contuition. And I know the economy is tough,
and I know for many of you money is tight,
and I don't expect anybody to sacrifice. No sacrifices here.

(01:21:10):
It's value for value. If you get value, and if
you can afford to pay for that value, I'm doing
it for free, no matter what, right. But if you
can afford to pay for that value, because I'm not
doing it for free, I need to be paid. But
you don't have to pay because it's available for free.
If you can afford it, and if you find value
in it, please consider making that monthly commitment on a patriot.

(01:21:40):
Andrews says, where are the billionaire supporters of YBS? Who
else supports their moral right to exist? That's a good line.
Where are the billionaire supporters of YBS? Do I have
any billionaires listening to the show? I think I do.
I think there might be one or two that would

(01:22:00):
be nice, let's see. Yeah. Other than that, of course,
you can continue asking questions, particularly if you ask them
at twenty or fifty dollars, that would be great. We're
two hundred dollars short of our second hour goal. We're
well into the second hour. Got a lot of twenty
dollars questions, but fifty would be good. One hundred would
get us stick really fast. All right, let's start with that,

(01:22:23):
Dudo bunny. Why is it objectivism saving the world? Or
is it? I don't know. You tell me why isn't it? Right?
It's what does it mean to save the world? How
do you save the world. It's saving individuals. It's influencing
individuals and impacting individuals' lives. It's changing people's lives. I

(01:22:45):
don't know any other way to save the world other
than one individual at a time, one mind at a time.
It's definitely doing one mind at a time. Whether it
can change the whole world ever, whether it can change
the whole world in a few decades, a few centuries,
I don't know. I have no idea, but it's definitely
impacting one mind at the time that is happening. So

(01:23:08):
in that sense, you know, saving one life is like
saving the whole world. That's a Jewish saying, cen beneficient. Yeah,
if you save one life, it's like you saved a
whole world, because a life is a world is a anyway,

(01:23:31):
I don't know, I don't know what it takes to
change the whole world and what time frame that takes
and what kind of action that takes. But I do
know that people are impacted, people are changing for the
better because of what we do. Andrew, do you think
the self abnegation of conson morality is a logical outgrowth

(01:23:53):
of his main purpose to reject ability of reason? Is
means of self esteem? Or is it self abrogation the
main purpose of his system? I mean, he says the
main purpose is to save faith from reason, So his
main purpose is in a sense, to undermine reason, and

(01:24:16):
this is a consequence of that. Once you take away
somebody's ability to comprehend the world and to understand it
and to see it fully, you undermine his ability to
have self esteem, You undermine his ability to be happy
and be successful, You undermind his morality. So I think
that's just number one, But at least that's from the

(01:24:37):
introduction of his book. But you know, who knows what
ultimately was the motivation. What was more important to him
is the establishment of duties, and therefore he came out
with a theory of epistemology the way he did, or
was it the theoristmology that drove his sense of morality,
or is it both equally. I don't know. I just

(01:24:59):
don't know. They're both logically related. So any place you start,
you will ultimately end up in the other place if
you're consistent apply you consistently apply the philosophical ideas Michael.
For some people is all they know. Hate a message

(01:25:23):
of benevolence and happiness from objectives who can never penetrate
the psyche because they've never experienced it before, like the
first time hearing a you language. Well, I don't know
if they've never experienced that before. I mean, I think
most people have had positive experiences in their childhood. But hate,
and I'm not sure hate is the dominant is the

(01:25:44):
dominant emotion. I think the dominant emotion they have is fear.
I think the dominant emotion in the culture is fear.
Hate is a consequence of the fear. Fear is what
happens when you don't have a really good grasp on
your ability to deal with the world and deal with reality,

(01:26:06):
deal with what's happening around you, deal with your own life,
take full responsibility for it. Fear is is the emotion
and then drives everything else, and that leads them to hate.
But I don't know that. I don't know if it's
most people. For some people, that certainly is the case. Now,

(01:26:28):
is it possible to penetrate I assume it is. I
don't know if it's penetrable. Ultimately, we're not trying to
penetrate with appeal to emotion. We're trying to penetrate with
an appeal to a mind to think. And does hate
and fear shut that down completely for some people but
maybe not for all people. I don't know enough about psychology,

(01:26:52):
and I don't want to generalize and say what's inevitable
is that it shuts down for everybody. I don't know.
Not you have age algorithm. As of recovering Peter keating myself,
I can tell you there is hope. It's about using
one's free will and choosing rational thought. It's not easy

(01:27:14):
when you came from a family of brutes, but it
can be done. Yeah, I mean, I think that's right,
and I mean congratulations to you, not your aviage algorithm,
for achieving that, for doing it. It's not easy, but
at the end of the day, it's about actually using
your mind and being honest it's about refusing to evade.
It's about thinking, thinking, thinking, and that's what it takes.

(01:27:40):
And I think people are capable of it, no matter
their background, no matter their experiences. Andrew enjoyed your interview
with Vincent Galoso. Despite is hailing the egalitarian effect of
capitalist economics. What's your view of whether capitalism leads the
less or more economic inequality is more or less good

(01:28:00):
of all. I don't think it matters. I don't think
it matters more or less, and I don't think it's static.
I think there might be periods in which inequality increases
and then periods in which it shrinks. And you can
think of it in economic terms, in competition terms, so

(01:28:20):
they might be periods in which, for example, brilliant entrepreneurs
in you know, there's a huge rush into a new
industry AI, brilliant into entrepreneurs make a huge amount of
money as being the initiators of AI, or the initiators
of automobiles and initiators of trains or whatever it is,
and they make an enormous amount of money. But then

(01:28:42):
competitors enter the field and they in a sense flattened
out amount of money being made. I mean generally in capitalism,
profit margins are constantly being driven downwards by competition. But
of course in a vain entrepreneurship, and and and and

(01:29:03):
and constant improvement keep driving some profit margins up and
then down and then up and then down and up.
And so there's this pattern that goes. Now, whether it
moves as an economy wide or rolls through different industries,
I don't know. And and again I don't think it matters.
I think Vincent's point, which I do think is important,

(01:29:24):
is not so much that the gap. I don't think
the gap matters. What matters is that you know, there's mobility,
there's asocial mobility, and b that the poor people, or
at least the deserving poor people, right, the working poor,

(01:29:44):
their lot is improving. If capitalism generally raised living standards
but the poor state poor and the quality of life
never improved, which is not the case of Gabalis, then yeah,
you can understand why some people would have a problem
with it. But the reality is, and what Vincent's work

(01:30:05):
has shown is that not only does the poor, you know,
their lone improves, but it improves a lot. That is,
it improves that the same speed as the improvement of
other parts of society, So the poor benefiting significantly, and
I think that's a good thing. I mean, you know,
the speed, the exact rate is thus important. But what's

(01:30:28):
important is that and it's inherent in capitalism, It's inherent
in the very nature of win win transactions that everybody
is going to benefit from it. Again, everybody's willing to
be productive, anybody is willing to work. Catherine, where do
you see Europe and EU in five years? Do you

(01:30:49):
think it will be a place with more innovation, wealth
and freedom? What will be the European country with the
highest standard of living? Oh that's a really hard question
and really hard question because I mean you have to
predict politics here and a lot of things. Look, I
think Europe is waking up to the fact that it

(01:31:09):
better reform. So I think you're going to see some
even if minor efforts is deregulation, but even relatively small
moves towards deregulation will increase innovation or entrepreneurship. I think
countries like Germany facing no economic growth or even negative

(01:31:30):
economic growth are going to have to reform, and it's
going to be hard, But I don't think they have
a choice. So look, I don't know. It could very
well be that the next five years are going to
be five years to drive Europe deeper, drive Europe towards poverty.

(01:31:53):
Drive you know that Europe will become much worse and
only then will there be awakening that leads them to better.
You know, the countries that are doing relatively well as
countries like in Scandinavia. Spain is doing well in spite

(01:32:14):
of a socialist government because it did significant reforms after
the financial crisis. Greece is doing well, but both Spain
and Greece basically held the float by tourism, and at
least in Spain, they become very anti tourists, and the
more anti tourists they become, the more they'll hurt their

(01:32:35):
own economy. I don't think they have to build their
own AI data centers. I don't think that's going to
be requiet at all. There's absolutely no reason they can't
use the data centers in the United States. They have
to do. They have to. They don't have to mimic.
They have to find a comparative advantage. They have to

(01:32:58):
do their own thing. They have to innovate, and they
have to encourage entrepreneurship, and they have to move away
from zero zero carbon stupidity. They have to move towards nuclear,
they have to do more LERG on gas, they have
to reduce their dependence on Russia. These are the kind

(01:33:20):
of things they have to do. I don't think they'll
do all of it in five years. So we'll have
the highest living standard. Who has the highest living standard now, Luxembourg.
That'll continue probably, you know. I think Northern Europe is
going to continue to be relatively wealthy as compared to southern.
Poland is doing very well. It's growing. I don't know

(01:33:42):
that it'll catch up, but it completely eas Scandinavia. But
it's growing. So maybe Poland will be compete with one
of the places that has the highest standard of living
in terms of GDP per capita at least. Yeah, I
don't know. I don't know the policy of Europe. Also,
every country's a little different. European Union that has its

(01:34:03):
own politics, very complicated and not an area where i'm
I mean, I'm knowledgeable, but i'm not politics generally. The mechanism,
the mechanics of politics are not something I'm a huge
expert in. Jonathan Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to
you you on Merry Christmas. Happy New Year, Jonathan, our

(01:34:27):
spokesman on Fox Business. That's great. I love seeing his
success in Fox Business equal to reality. Boxing Day twenty
sixth December began in Britain when servants and tradespeople received
Christmas boxes from the employers as gifts, a tradition of

(01:34:47):
post Christmas charity and reward for service. Interesting, so it's
all about boxes in post Christmas, so it's about the boxes.
Roberts says he was going to cut back on superchat
dollars too, but since several others have announced that they
need to cut back, I'll just need to step up

(01:35:07):
my income game. Besides, super chatting is too fun to stop.
I agree, it's way too fun to stop, particularly for me.
But I appreciate that. Thank Thank you, Robert Nia sir,
And no, you do not have a duty to make
up for everybody who is cutting back. There is no
duty like that. But I appreciate everything that you guys provide,

(01:35:32):
So thank you. Guys talk about appreciating Wes is doing
another sticker. Almost daily we get a stick up for
fifty dollars from Wes, So thank you, Wes. Really really
really really appreciate it. So thank you. Let's see we
got to let's see we've got a few other stickers, Johnny,
thank you, and who else we got Ryan, And let's

(01:36:00):
see Silvanos. It's good to see Silvanos again twice in
a row. Its mean, awhile and then Fred Harper started
all going, so, thank you, guys, really appreciate the support.
All right, A man, what what's with no video of
the Pinka talk? Presumably that was his demand? Was there

(01:36:26):
a rational offering or does he not want his attendance
widely known? No? I I first of all, I have
no idea, right, I mean, you guys think I'm an insider,
but nobody tells me anythings, you know, unless it comes
to board of directors. And then no Pinker video did
not come to the board of directors. I would know,

(01:36:46):
so nobody told me. So I don't know. I don't
take it as that. I'm taking it as no video
release broad public general release in order to try to
get people to come to OCON. And maybe, and I'm
just speculating here, but maybe the Institute then releases the

(01:37:08):
video selectively and charges money for it. So maybe they
come to conclusion that broadly, releasing the video discourages people
from coming to OCON, and it's trying to encourage people
to come to I don't know. Maybe it was Pinka's
demand request. I have my doubts about that. Because we're

(01:37:31):
advertising it widely, everybody's going to know you was there.
What is? Why would he? Why would he not want it?
Maybe they want it? I don't. I don't know. I
have no idea. I'll ask and if the reason is public,
I'll let you know. Hop up. Should you not wait

(01:37:52):
until you're ready to make moves? Move first, let confidence
catch up later. I'm not sure what that means. So
should you build up the confidence and then act, or
should you act even before you have the full confidence.
If you know that the action is the right thing

(01:38:15):
to do, then you should move first and let the
confidence come from partially from the movement itself and then
from achieving the values that the movement is geared towards achieving.
So don't wait. I think in one of my rules

(01:38:36):
for life, it's move, act, get out there, pursue values.
And you know part of how you get confidence is
by doing that. How are you going to get the
confidence if you don't act so bias action once you've
decided it's the right thing to do, bias towards action.

(01:39:01):
All right, Liam, Do you think Milay will do something
really radical before his term is up, like abolish all
regulations of pharmaceuticals or abolish the central Manking of text. No.
I think that the pattern with me Lay is incremental,
big but incremental changes. So I think labor reform will

(01:39:23):
be big. I think you'll revamp the tax code. Exactly
what he does with that, I don't know. I wouldn't
be surprised if all tariffs, all inputation and exportation taxes
were eliminated, so you could imagine Argentina being a zero
tariff place. I don't think it'll be a zero income
tax place, but I do think taxes will be different

(01:39:45):
than they are today. So part of the reason is
that much of the agitin economy is a black market
where nobody pays taxes because they don't declare the income.
I think he has to change that, lower and simplify
taxes and expand the base, which I think is what
he'll do. James is Trump the first fascist administration to

(01:40:11):
deregulate an economy. What has Trump deregulated specifically that has
been so effective. Well, I don't think he has done
any big deregulations. I mean that would require Congress. What
he's done is he's basically told all the regulatory agencies layoff,
with exception of antitrust layoffs. So, for example, an industry

(01:40:35):
I know really well is which is the banking industry.
Under the Biden administration, bank regulators were basically told, go out,
they harass the bankers, don't allow for mergers. You know,
just check out all the loans. Be very diligent with
the bankers. And Trump's attitude is and I don't know

(01:40:59):
it's Trump, it is he canomic people. Is no, no
layoff banks, give them for freedom, let them act, let
them loan, don't, don't intervene, don't. And you're going to
see a lot of bank mergers in the next three years,
a lot a lot of bank consolidation in the next
three years, because banks need to consolidate economically. They're too

(01:41:21):
many banks in the US. And they were allowed to
consolidate under Trump. They weren't allowed on a Biden And
that was that the regulatory they regulate towards discretion. The
same with the environmental regulation. It's not a matter of
changing the law. A lot of it is what do
you enforced and what don't you enforce. There has a
number of major deregulations at the regulatory agency level of

(01:41:42):
just changing the rules of that government regulatory agency that
is going to It's still in the works and it
will happen over the early part of the next year
and you'll see more and more of an impact on it.
So a lot of it is just the regulators stepping
back and owing business a little bit more freedom. And
then there are some big things like this bill that

(01:42:04):
just passed Congress past the House, I don't think it
passed the Senate yet, that is going to reduce significantly
reduced permitting government permitting. That'll increase activity and increase infrastructure
projects and increase economic activity. So it's little things like
that that are happening now. Trump is not a fascist. Explicitly,

(01:42:28):
he's not an ideologue, and he doesn't really care about
a lot of things, so he leaves it to underlinks
to do certain things. And he certainly appointed some good
people in place like Energy and Environment that are unwinding
statist regulations in a positive way. It's not because Trump
has that agenda. He just I don't think Trump cares,

(01:42:50):
you know, as long as he he can, as long
as there's enough regulations and rules in place so that
he can squeeze people for the kind of bribes that
he wants, which he is getting all the time. I
don't think he cares about the rest. Michael Elundmask argues
there is a homeless industrial complex, particularly in states like California,

(01:43:11):
where charities get paid a fortune from the state per
homeless person they provide services too. Yeah, I haven't seen
a law to argue for that, but I've seen studies
that have shown that that exists. Indeed, you know, this
is part of kind of the change that's happening, I
think in California over the last year or so with

(01:43:31):
regard to homelessness. There is this realization that there are
all these nonprofits that get a huge amount of money
from the state and then they're responsible for treating the homeless.
But a lot of that money disappears, and obviously the
treatment of the homeless is not helping anybody, and where's
all that money gone. And people who run those non
for profits are making, you know, have huge salaries. So yeah,

(01:43:55):
there is a homeless industrial complex. There's no question about that.
I don't think that's part of I don't think that's
it requires some crazy accusation by Elon Musk. I think
that's well documented and established in California. There was a
couple of articles in major California newspapers that I saw

(01:44:15):
dealing with them. Michael, the left seems more sophisticated with
its anti Semitism, attacking Zionism and colonialism is atoric ways,
whereas the new right just tells me to go to
a glass chamber right off the bat, to the gas
chamber right off the bat. Yeah, I mean the right
is dumb. I mean that's the reality. I think Richard Hanania,

(01:44:39):
who makes this observation over and over again, I think,
is absolutely right. You know, the Left is evil, there's
no question about that. The fall Left is evil, but
they're not stupid. The right is stupid. The right is
not smart. The right is crude and dumb, and crudeness
comes from its dumbness. They're non intelligent and and they're

(01:45:00):
not sophisticated. Uh and and now the left basically has
it's anti Simmons all centered around Israel and and due
success but they don't want to be too explicit about that.
The right is very similar. It's very sick and handed,
but it's much cuter. It's much more violent, well not
more violent, but it's cruda. It's less sophisticated, but that

(01:45:22):
comes from it's it's just notisticated ideology. It's a it's
a it's an ideology of muscle. It's an ideology of dumbness.
Uh Clark said, to see the nick pointess has decided
to run against Vivic Ramas Wanting for governor of Ohio
on a platform of open bigotry. I don't think he's
actually running for governor of Ohio. He has decided to

(01:45:42):
oppose Ramaswami. That is, he will encourage people in Iowa
to vote against Vivic, even if it means voting for Democrat,
and he is going to go to Ohio and and
and really engage in the debate. I don't think he's
running for governor, so I don't think he's ready to
run for political office. But he is super anti. You know,

(01:46:04):
he would rather Republicans vote for Democrat and a jew
at that a Jewish Democrat who is the opponent, who
is a Democrat who's who's gonna who's running for governor
of Ohio? Then they vote for Vivic. That's the extent
of his hatred of Vivic and of Indians Indian Americans.
Clark says, I have no sympathy for Vivic. He thought

(01:46:28):
the bigotry in the Republican Party could be directed towards
minorities other than his own. I agree with you. I
agree with you. I think the way he ran for
president was horrible, tragically horrible, because he's smarter than that.
So yes, I agree. I really don't have a lot
of sympathy for him. Na Jerry j. Algorithm says, anti

(01:46:48):
simism is a brain eating disease. Yeah, but it's also
a symptom of the fact that your brain has already
been eaten away. It's a term of gross stupidity or
or detachment, real detachment from the from reality. Ryan wants

(01:47:10):

Bunny Part one. I'm reading Heygil's Phenomenology of Spirit. It's incomprehensible,
fanta fantasy. I have no idea what he's saying. Yet

(01:47:53):
his political philosophy took over the world, where RAN's capitalism
uh an ideal as clear as day and makes total
sense he had is hardly known. Yeah. Look, here's the thing.
Hagel doesn't require you to think, and he doesn't require
you to understand. He just requires you, in a sense,

(01:48:14):
to take Hegel's conclusion. The state is all. The state
is everything. The state is what you should give yourself too.
That's easy, that's emotional, whereas Einran requires you to think

(01:48:34):
to be mollow. You have to think to understand a philosophy.
You have to think to understand life. You have to
think to everything is think, think, think, think thing, think,
which is hard. It's a challenge for people, and most
people are not willing to rise to the challenge. Liam
thoughts on AFT Party in Germany. Is it a new
bet of nationalistic parties primarily focused around anti immigrant nationalism

(01:48:58):
combined with modest amounts of deregulation. Yeah. I mean AFT
has two main issues, immigration and energy. Right, they're against
the Greens and energy and that that's the one good
thing they are and immigration. They have no positive agenda
when it comes to economics and our pro freem Marcus
and our pro free deregulation. Other than energy. Uh, they're

(01:49:23):
also you know, uh anti uh the pro Russia, which
is one of their great sins. They're very pro Russia,
anti Ukraine. Uh. It is a new brand of nationalist
party that are basically well not new. I mean, I
mean the Nazis in the in the fascists who are

(01:49:45):
nationalist parties were also uh the way anti minorities, particularly
the Nazis, which immigrants are, and and uh pro uh
kind of socialism and economics, and I think they follows
that path and for authoritarianism. The Nazi Party deals with

(01:50:06):
the Soviets, so it wasn't anti Soviet in and of itself.
It was anti communism as a threat inside Germany, but
not anti communism as people you couldn't deal with. So
I think AfD follows along tradition of right wing parties.
I don't think they're unique. The immigration issue is real
and it's what makes them popular. It's the one issue

(01:50:28):
that resonates with the German people. And energy. Sorry, the
immigration and energy are both real issues. Marius. How would
you like to see NATO reform? What would need to
happen to include countries like South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, in Israel.
So I don't think you need to include all those

(01:50:49):
other countries. I would actually like to see, ultimately, over
a five year period, the United States leave NATO and
Europe admit to taking on full responsibility for defending defending
itself defending Europe, with the United States committing to continuing

(01:51:10):
to provide or to sell weapons systems and provide maybe
intelligence whatever unique, unique things that the United States has
that hard to mimic. Did it commit to continuing to
do that without committing to put troops on the ground.
So I would like to see. I think if US
with drew for NATO but supported it morally, diplomatically and

(01:51:35):
with weapons and intelligence, then I think it would be
it would be much more palatable for the US to
be supporting Europe. I think Americans it would be a
lot easier and I think it would be right. Again,
I don't think American kids should die to protect Estonia,

(01:51:55):
but I think French kids should, because if Russia starts
in Estonia, ultimately it will be it will be fans
that pays the long run price. So I think Europe
needs to own NATO. I think what you need is
a is an alliance in the Western Pacific, including South Korea, Japan, Taiwan,

(01:52:22):
maybe Singapore, Australia, maybe including the Philippines, and maybe even
Malaysia and Indonesia to basically counter Chinese influence. And again
the United States could could be willing to supply them
with weapons and supply with weapons and of course Morali

(01:52:43):
and diplomatically have their back and intelligence. Wise, supply them
with the intelligence, but not commit to actually putting troops
on the ground. And I think if you did that,
the world would be a much more secure place. I
think the United States would be in a better both
moral and political position. It wouldn't have to have troops

(01:53:05):
all over the world, but would have its allies and
would recognize that these countries are allies, that it is
willing to support in various ways, not defend, but support,
And I think the same thing. It would have a
relationship with all these countries like it has with Israel.
It's willing to have an airlift, it's willing to provide
them weapons and emergency but not to put troops on

(01:53:29):
the ground. That way it risks American lives. I think
that would be a much healthier phone policy. Andrewsis when
say Judaism is morally healthier than Christianity. When you say,
do you factor in Orthodox Jews? Is the repressed repression
closer to an expression of real Judaism? Incidentally, do you

(01:53:51):
find governing creepy? So no, I don't include Orthodox Jews.
I think orthodoxy Idism is a perversion. It's it's a
it's a it's a it's a form of Judaism that
is kind of uh being fozen in time from I

(01:54:13):
don't know, the seventeenth century, but really it's medieval in
many respects. It's it's and it's it's it's barbaric. It
treats women horribly. Uh. And you know, just the fact
that they wear the clothes that they wear, it tells
you everything you needed to know. And they wear them
under all circumstances, and they just it doesn't make any sense.
Uh So, yes, and they've achieved nothing, They've done nothing.

(01:54:36):
Orthodoxy of Judaism is a net parasite on Israeli society,
and it's a a parasite in the world. So it
doesn't achieve anything. So I'm I'm not sympathetic at all
to it. I find it barbaric. Uh No, I say
Judaism as practiced by most Jews and Judaism as I

(01:55:00):
think articulated by the ancients, if you will, the advantage
it has that The reason is healthier than Christianity is
it has no original sin, and it has no afterlife,
and therefore you can't it can't say sacrifice, you'll be
rewarded after life. There is it doesn't say that. It

(01:55:22):
doesn't have Jesus on a cross sacrificing in the same
way as Christianity does. It's a much more disworldly and
much more sympathetic to self interest and the self interested
needs of individuals than Christianity is. So it's it's I
think in that sense it's healthier than morally, healthier than Christianity.

(01:55:47):
Uh do. I find dovening creepy. Yeah, I do. But
you know, but I also get it right. So if
you're in if you're in synagogue and you're reading from
a text, and you're reading over and over again, you
stay because you have to stand, uh you know for
a large part of the ceremony. I don't know, you know, Yeah,

(01:56:08):
it comes kind of naturally, the dovening, the back and forth,
the back of other walking, it kind of keeps you awake.
It gives your rhythm to the reading. Uh. The dobning
is there is there is the walking that you do,
you know, as you read, as I'm doing right now,
and AND's I probably did it when I was a kid.

(01:56:29):
Uh so, But but yeah, I find it when they
all do it and they all in sync creepy. But
maybe not as much as you do, because I I've
lived it, I've been done it, so maybe not quite
as bad, Raphel you. On tomorrow I will visit the
Hawaiich's Museum in Amstem for the first time. Is there

(01:56:50):
any artwork there especially recommended seeing? Well, the Vermias uh
Vermia is a beautiful I think I've recommended to you
to go out of the Hague as well. There's a
beautiful a couple of beautiful uh Vermias at the Hague.
If you have time, you can take the train see
the Vermias. Take the train back downs to them. It's
pretty quick. But yes, I definitely definitely go see the Vermias.

(01:57:14):
I think the milk the milkmaid is there, and then
the rem Brands, the Vermias and the rem Brands, I mean,
and then if you like, but even if you don't like,
you can appreciate the stunning still lives. You know that
that that the Lection Museum. So I'd say, you know,
focus on the Dutch art, Rembrandt, Vermeire and the and

(01:57:39):
the still lives. You know, there's also a lot of
other painters of the same period who do some amazing
stuff with perspective and lights and there's just a lot
to see. Enjoy, enjoy, all right, Liam says, have you
been to the Have you ever visited the fewer bunk
and billing? No? No interest, no interest. It's not like

(01:58:03):
I want to dance on his grave. And it's not
like I'm interested in anything about him other than what
he did and his ideas. And I know that, and
I'm not interested in anything beyond that. So no, generally
in Billin. I don't like Billin. It reminds me too
much of its history. And I visited the art museums.

(01:58:23):
That's about it. And I've given talks and done stuff there.
But that's about it, all right, guys, thank you, Thanks
to all the super Chato is really really appreciated. Have
a great Boxing day, whatever the hell that means again,
and I encourage you to. Yeah, check out Amy tomorrow.

(01:58:47):
Don't forget about the January, the December, the first show Patreon. Yeah,
