Speaker 1 (00:02):
A lot of the fundamentals of lead the latter and
an individual lots. This is the show. Oh right, everybody
welcome there one book show on this Tuesday until the

(00:25):
twenty first out. Everybody's having a great start to your week. Yeah,
we've got a full deck in terms of topics to
talk about. Uh, and we will jump into that. Just
a quick reminder, ask superchat questions. That way you get
to fame the show. You get to discermine what I
talk about. I talk about what you know. I answer

(00:47):
your questions. So it's a great way to make the
show interactive. So prelease consider a super chat or if
you just want to support the show value for value,
stick up, all right, let's jump in. I mean the
roller coaster. Roller coaster is not the right tom. I
don't know what the way tomb is. You know, the
the Trump putin US, you know, Russia, Ukraine, stuff that's

(01:13):
going on. It's just it's just unbelievable. It's it's how
anybody can can trust Trump or or has any positive
view of Trump given his behavior towards Zelenski and and
and towards Putin is just you know, beyond comprehension. I mean,

(01:36):
here he is. Leading up to last week, Trump was
all gung ho, We're going to give We're going to
give Zelenski, uh, you know, new missiles. We're gonna make
them strong. They can attack anyway they want. He was
super friendly to Zelenski in a couple of meetings that
they had, and he was super aggressive of NATO and

(01:58):
very pro Europe and came out, you know, swinging against
Putin and everything. This is after he met Putin in Alaska,
convinced there was going to be a peace deal, and
then Putin basically ignored him, and and basically during the
meeting supposedly in Alaska, the meeting was cut short because
Putin wouldn't compromise. He wouldn't he he would not negotiate

(02:22):
around peace that Trump was pushing. So Trump they gave
it a couple of weeks to kind of see and
then and then walked away from Putin and kind of
went seemingly all in on Zelenski and was nice to
him and was ready to arm him to the teeth
and which is what should be done and what needs

(02:44):
to be done, and it's the only way to end
this war. The only way to end this war is
one party wins and one party loses. That's the way
wars end. And I think we want I want, I
don't know what we want. I want, So let's get
a win. I went there, you used to win. Russia
is the gressa. Russia is the evil empire here and

(03:04):
the good guy should win and that means Ukrainians and
we should support them winning. And that way the war
will end. Was end when bon partty wins, another losers.
So Trump seemed to be moving in that direction, and
everybody's ro you know, all excited. And then Trump was

(03:24):
going to meet with Zelenski at the meeting. Supposedly Trump
was going to sign off from Tomahawk missiles and all
kinds of other weapons systems and fully support Zelenski and Ukraine.
And then Putin called him the night before and they
had a long conversation and Putin somehow convinced Trump again

(03:46):
they know this war was caused by Ukraine. This is
not Russia's not the bad guys. Ukraine the bad guys.
And he Putin wants peace. It's Lensky that's stopping the piece,
and he's willing to compay, and and there's got to
be a deal, and we should go for peace and
don't give them Tomahawk missiles and uh and and Trump

(04:08):
came out of that meeting. It's as if Putin has
this ability to completely brainwash him or bright or squeeze
him in some way. I don't know what Putin has
on Trump, but he has his buttons. He knows exactly
which buttons to press. So Trump goes into the meeting
over the weekend with Zelensky on Friday, actually and Blastolensky

(04:30):
and publicly says, Zelensky started the war. And if you
start the war, we should don't come asking me for missiles.
If you start a war, you should you should be
positioned to win it. You shouldn't. I mean, Zelensky didn't
start the war, Ukraine didn't start the Worrus just started
the war. This is not hard. This is like a
four year old would get this. I've often said, Trump,

(04:52):
hass the understanding economic understanding of a five year old. Yes,
the understanding of from polse of a five year old. Worse, Actually,
five year old would get it. And I'm sorry, I
know some of you still think Trump is good, better
than whatever in this and that, and Yuran stopped being
such a leftist stop being worse than MSNBC. Yeah, I'm

(05:15):
more consistent with them, MBSNBC. I've always thought Trump was
a disaster, and I continue to think Trump is a disaster,
and he continues continues to prove me right and you
guys wrong. It's not even pragmatism. This is complete and
up wim worshiping. Okay, So over the weekend he lamblasted Zelinsky.

(05:41):
By all accounts, he treated them probably in the meeting
behind closed doors, through maps around. Didn't want to look
at maps, too many maps, don't care about maps. Blames
the Olinsky for the war, blames the Linsky later in
a press conference for the war. It completely went after
and announced that he is going to meet Putin in
Budapest and they're gonna cut a deal. They're gonna cut

(06:03):
a deal. There's gonna be peace. It's just a matter
you know, next week. They were going to meet next
week in in Budapest. So in preparation for the big
Budapest meeting where peace is going to be announced, Marco Rubio, uh,
you know, had a call this morning or yesterday morning

(06:24):
with the Pehun Russian minister, so gay lover of in
order to you know, kind of prepare the grounds. This
is what happens when you know, the leaders meet, the
underlings meet beforehand to kind of prepare everything and get
everything aligned. So when the meeting happens, it all goes well.
Well in this meeting. And I've told you, Marko Rubio

(06:44):
is the only one in this administration that I that
I know of that has the right position on Russia Ukraine. So, uh,
Marko Rubio goes to meet with a lover of over
the phone, I guess, and he discovers that lover of
is like, yeah, nothing's changed. We want full control over
the dun Boss, and we're really you know, the don

(07:07):
boss means the eastern Ukraine and we're not going to
give it an inch. We want control over those areas
and we haven't changed that position and nothing has changed.
And you know, lover Of told reporters that quote. I

(07:32):
believe American officials have concluded that Russia's position has remained
largely unchanged over the time and remains within the balance
of its initial maximalist demands. We've always owned that Russia's
not compromising. What did put In tell Trump on Thursday
that led him to think that this is not true,
I'm sure nothing. What did put In tell him in Alaska?

(07:58):
They would suggest that Russia's position has changed. I'm pretty
sure nothing. I mean the reality here, this is not
my interpretation, this is reality. Putin completely manipulates Trump completely utterly.

(08:25):
So Levo basically told it, told Rubio that Russia has
not changed his mind. It wants a comprehensive peace steal,
a comprehensive peace steel in which it gets everything that
it wants and gives up nothing. It does not I mean,
and this goes back to Alaska. It does not want.

(08:46):
It does not accept security Western security guarantees for Ukraine.
It does not accept any kind of peacekeeping troop in
Ukraine other than Chinese or Russians. So basically, yesterday Marco
Rubio went to Trump and I guess the White House
officials and said, look, we can have a meeting, but

(09:09):
Russia has not changed its mind on anything anything. And
this morning it was announced that the meeting is off,
that Trump will not be meeting a put In a Budapest.
And basically, because what would be the point, what would

(09:30):
be the point? Nothing has changed. But put In achieved
one goal, and that is Zelenski didn't get his tomahawks,
and Trump again lashed out at Zelensky. So anyway, the

(10:03):
bottom line is Zelensky is not getting what he wants.
Trump is not getting a meeting with Putin. We know,
you know, lover of is a mouthpiece for Putin, always
has been, continues to be. And the reality is the
meeting between Putin and Trump has been canceled. And uh again,

(10:31):
you know it's it's so we're back at the status quo.
We're back at where we were before this meeting, before
the whole tomahawk discussions were going on, before the United
States was going to ramp up support for Ukraine. All
of that is gone. And yet there's no there's no
advancement on the peace plan because and that's dead and
and uh, Trump is now sold and Putin and South

(10:53):
and Zelenski, and I mean, what the hell is he doing?
The guy is to complete and uther, emotionalistic, unprincipled, what
do you call it. He just goes by whatever he

(11:14):
feels like. And there are people out there, for whatever reason,
it's hard to tell exactly why, but there are people
out there who are really really good at manipulating him,
really really good at manipulating him, and I know people
like this, so I guess it doesn't really surprise me.

(11:36):
All right, that's where we are in terms of the
Russian story. Again, as people are leaking information from the
meeting between Zelenski and Trump, it sounds like it went
pretty brutal. And Trump, by the way, he went on
and on supposedly about the fact that he didn't get

(11:56):
the Nobel Prize and how unfair that was. The guy
functions based on grievances and emotions and who he likes
and who he hates, and he clearly admires and maybe
even loves. I mean, he has this weird admiration for
Vladimir Putin, and that allows Putin to manipulate him and

(12:19):
get his way, at least up to a point. All right,
let's move to the other area in which Trump has
is just considered a genius when it comes to when
it comes to font Polsi, the deal in Gaza. You know,
the deal in Gaza's supposed to lead ultimately to Israel

(12:42):
evacuating Gaza, Ramas being disarmed, and international peace keeping force
brought in that guarantees Tramas being disarmed and Ramas basically
disappearing as an organization and a you a government being
established in the Gaza strip by a technical cradic government
it's called but a non partisan government. Well, it looks

(13:05):
like none of that is going to happen, right, you know,
it looks like Hamas is committed to not disarming. It is.
Let everybody knows that it has no intention of disarming.
The supposed new technocratic government. Well, the names being proposed

(13:27):
are being filtered through Ramas, and Ramas is giving thumbs
up to those names that are people who are ideologically
aligned with them and rejecting those who are not. But
all the names are going through Hamas because Katawa is
putting the list together and it is aligned with Kamas.
The Palestinian authority there also was not supposed to have
any role in governing the Gazza script is, you know,

(13:51):
choosing about fifty percent of their people in this technocratic
government and the other fifty percent being Ramas people. So
you've basically got a situation where where basically Haramas is
completely ignoring whatever the intents of the piece deal was,
or the cease fire deal or whatever you want to
call it. It has Haramas has stopped killing its rivals

(14:15):
in public at least, we don't know what's going on
in private, given the criticism it's gotten from its ally,
you know, I guess from Kataro and and so on.
The Trump administration putting pressure on Turkey and Kata to
tell them to stop. So they're you know, supposedly they've stopped.
I guess that's good, but you know, so so none

(14:42):
of that is happening. The sarming is not happening. And
uh and uh uh, the the vogue Hamas intends to
be completely involved uh in uh in everything, and it's
it's whether they're doing in public or in private. They're
cracking down on all the opposition, all the people who

(15:04):
could replace them. They're cracking down on them, killing them,
disarming them and making sure that they don't resist. And
of course this idea of international peacekeeping force. Well countries
are saying, well, wait a minute, we get to go
into Gaza and fight with Ramas. We don't want to
do that. I mean, the Saudis don't want to send

(15:27):
troops to die in Gaza fighting Kramas, partially because they've
got constituency at home to support Kamas. They don't want
to be perceived as the guys who actually crush Kamas.
Neither is the UAE suddenly the only people willing to
send troops in a Kata and Tuki because their troops
will be aligned with Kramas. They won't be disarming Kramas,

(15:49):
They'll be arming Kamas. And indeed, if is Isuel allows
Katari and took his troops in to replace as an
international peacekeeping force, then forget about it. They're gonna arm
master the teeth and make Gaza even more hostile to
Israel than before, all in the name of a peacekeeping force. Now,

(16:13):
not to worry because wit cough And and Jared Kushna
and jd vance I came yesterday and jade Van Silanda
today in Israel to to to to make sure that
peace was going to be achieved. But the problem is,
it's not in Tel Aviv, it's not in Jerusalem. The
problem is in Katta and Istanbul, and in Alankara, and

(16:34):
and and Cairo, and of course in Gaza. I don't
know what they have to talk about with Israel. Indeed,
Saudi Arabia and Yuei would like Israel to go into
Gaza to span Ramas, destroy it, take away all the arms,
and then they'll send in peace keeping troops. They would

(16:55):
love for Israel to finish the job. But I than
an international peacekeeping force that has any ability will actually
enter and start fighting with Kamas. Is a fantasy and
actually a nightmare. It's not even a fantasy. It's stupid
and it's not going to happen. But this is the
twenty point plan. And you know that the twenty point

(17:18):
plan can't be a very good plan if the qataris
signed up for it. Katari is an enemy of Israel,
and it's an enemy of the United States. By the
way the kataris today, I think the mirror of Qatar
had this to say. This to say, what has taken

(17:39):
place in the Godza Strip over the past two years
amounts the genocide, a term that encapsulates all atrocities. It
is regredible that international legitimacy remains incapable of enforcing its
respect when it comes to the tragedy of our brotherly
Palestinian people. We hereby reaffirm our condemnation of all Israeli
violations and practices in power, particularly the transformation of the

(18:02):
gods Strip into an area unfit for human life, the
continued breaches of the ceasefire, the expansion of settlements in
the West Bank, and the ongoing attempts of to juidize
Al Haram al sha Reef Temple in the Mount. We
also reaffirmed that the Gods of strip is an integral
part of the Palestinian territories and of the United Unified

(18:23):
State of Palestine today. And this is the guy that
Trump considers an ally. The Trump assigned an agreement to defend.
There is now a defense Pact where the United States
guarantees defend to defend Qatar against all its enemies. Qataru
the number one fund of Muslim brotherhood, the number one

(18:45):
fund of terrorism in the Sunni world. At least we
now Americans, you and me, and now you know, committed
to their protection. And while they are pretending to be
you know, arbitrating and you know middleman and trying to
negotiate a peace, they are clearly in Ramas's corner. They

(19:08):
are clearly on the side of Tarmas. And and and
again remember when did all the money come to build
the tunnels, I mean youran part of it, and then
the rest from Katu Kata has funded Tramas built it
to help them build the tunnel system, weaponize them. Katao
is the enemy and Trump brilliant farm policy strategist. You

(19:31):
have to admit, is completely in their pocket, completely in
their pocket. So I'm curious, what is it that makes
Trump's phone policy good anything. A British forces are supposed

(19:52):
to being deployed to Israel to join a multinational task
force that's going to monitor the fragile ceasefire in Gaza.
This have to request in the United States a two
star officer against general and a small number of military personnel.
We'd be based in Israel as part of the Civil
Military Coordination Center established and led by the United States

(20:15):
that will provide logistical supports, security and monitor the cease
flying Gods the stript notice they're monitoring it from the
Israeli side. These are the people that's supposed to restrain Israel,
hold them back. A two star officer will serve as
deputy to commander with the us R forces expected to
help with the flow of humanitarian aid to the Palestinians

(20:36):
and God, that is what they're concerned about. God forbid
that Palestinians don't get their food at the same time
as Israel. It's supplying with electricity, water for free, internet,
cell phone coverage for free, for free. But Israel are
the bad guys, and we need to monitor the cease fire.

(20:57):
We need to make sure they don't go after Amas.
Why because we promise the Kataris, who are best friends,
while they're funding our worst enemies. Phone Polsey genius, genius.
This guy. In the meantime, this is pretty clear about

(21:25):
its strategy, at least in a short run. It's all
this basically splitting the gods of the Strip into two.
It controls about fifty seven percent of the gods of Strip,
but a minority of the population, The overwhelming majority of
the population are in the fifty three In the forty
three percent that are left and that is mostly destroyed.

(21:51):
Israel as basically now putting massive barriers between what's called
the yellow line, the section of God the script that
it controls, and that which the you know, which Ramas controls. Uh.
You know that we're basically seeing the formation of two Gazas.

(22:12):
And I think what you'll see is that the Gazans
on the Israeli side get more humanitarian aid. That section
of Gaza might be rebuilt faster. Depending on how long
this takes and where's the other section will be controlled
by Hamas or by the Qataris and will rot, will

(22:34):
be devastated, and who will be blamed for this? Israel?
Of course Israel will be blamed for it. Now, we
could have an international force that goes in that fights
and takes control from Hamas. That would be good, but
I think the probablity of that happening is very, very

(22:55):
very low. Israel could develop this eastern part of the
Gods of Strip and then invite civilians to move in. Maybe,
you know, we could see pressure on Hamas the disarm ultimately,

(23:19):
but why should they. They're getting aid, They're probably getting
huge amounts of money from the Katawis. Why should they disarm?
Why should they disappear? Nobody seems to Nobody seems to
be willing to actually enforce the deal that they made.

(23:40):
And they're basically killing and subduing those Palestinians who actually
want a better life and want gods to be better.
And actually, you know, I don't want Hamas anymore. Haramas
is destroying those people. So you'll see huge, huge barricades

(24:00):
go up, huge all of that, and people say Israel's
getting to ready to take an ex eastern Gaza because
they want territory or whatever fantasy people live with. No,
this is this is a way for Israel to protect
its own troops from Hamas and uh. And since Israel

(24:20):
does not really believe Gaza is going to be demilitarized,
it doesn't believe Hamas is going to be pacified, it
doesn't believe Haramas is going anywhere. They are getting ready
for the long run and hunking down for that long run.
All right, Jeffrey says, thank you, Jeffrey for the super chat.

(24:45):
He says, I'm late. Please start from the beginning. What
I suggest is you go to the beginning, put it
on two acts. A lot of you listen to me
two x anyway, write two acts and just catch up,
and then very quickly you'll be where we are today,
what we are right now. So all right, let's quickly

(25:09):
talk about Japan, because we raised this topic a while
ago about the first female prime minister in Japan, Sonnaia Takchi.
I'm probably mispronouncing that. I apologize. Who is a fan
of Margaret Thatcher where I talked about yesterday? She is
now she is now being formally voted in as prime minister.

(25:34):
She had to go through some challenges to get there.
It's going to be interesting because while she is a
fan of Marga Thatcher, what she admires about Margaret Thatcher
was the iron fist, the kind of determination that she had,
the principles. I think. She is also a very strong

(25:56):
and fun policy quite hostile. I think to believes that
Japan should be investing in this military in order to
defend itself. She is anti immigration and I think wants
to reverse the government's policies that have allowed more immigrants
into the country over the last few years. So, but

(26:20):
where she isn't like Margaret Thatcher, and this is a
great Japanese tragedy, I think, because she sounds like a
stronger leader could get stuff done if she really wanted to,
is that she is not a free market person. There's
nothing to suggest that she is a pro free markets.

(26:44):
She is a status She believes in significant regulations and
in industrial planning, and that Japan's strength economically comes from
the top. It comes from government policy see UH, not
from liberalization and UH and a strong market economy. She

(27:10):
is though you might know she is a huge fan
of Iron Maiden and Deep Purple Uh, she's an amateur
drummer who I guess has has her own own, uh
heavy rock band. And and as I said, she her

(27:34):
hero is Margat Thatcher, and maybe there's a there's a
chance that she adopts Marga Thatcher's principled view with regard
to economics. You know Thatcher wasn't, in my view enough
of a capitalist, but at least you know she was
in in that direction. And we can hope that missus

(27:56):
Takayachi is can can shift a position from a more
status position to a more freedom over in position when
it comes to economics. I am filled with hope as always, Uh,
that's somebody in the world out there other than Melay
will adopt a good, positive pro market economic policies. We're

(28:20):
seeing a little bit of that in Bolivia, not Malay style,
but a bit improvement. Let's hope we get some improvement
in Japan as well. Anyway, Japan now has its first
female prime minister. I hope good luck. You know, I
really like Japan, like the Japanese people, and uh, and
I hope that Japan's economy blooms and flourishes and does

(28:43):
phenomenally well because I you know, I believe in win win.
So when they do better, we do better because we
trade with him. So we had the story it was
a yesterday or fightday, maybe it was Friday, about the

(29:05):
texts of the Young Republicans, Uh that that expressed racist, antisemitic,
anti women, just horrible, discusting texts. And and you know,
there was quite a backlash against them, although JD. Vance
and and uh and Matt Walsh defended them and uh,
but many of them have been forced to resign and quit,

(29:28):
which is good. Anyway, Today there's a new group chat
with racist commentary, and this time a lot of the
racist commentary is farm a guy named paul In Grascia.
Paul and Gracia is Trump's nominee to head the Office
of Special Counsel so as part of the Justice Department.

(29:53):
You know, here's uh, here's some of what what was
what he uh? What he uh? What he wrote? Mlka
was the nineteen sixties George Floyd and his holiday should
be ended and tossed into the seventh circle of Hell
where it belongs. Mlka was a hero at the end

(30:13):
of the day. He fought for liberty, for freedom, for
equal rights. He wasn't he was wrong on a lot
of things, and the Civil Rights Act ultimately was not good.
And you know MLK was probably economically socialist, but to

(30:33):
call him a Floyd, that's ridiculous. Another tweet, he says,
I do have a Nazi streak in me from time
to time. I will admit it, okay. And by the way,
nobody took it as a joke. Nobody took it as
a joke, and a number of people actually pushed back

(30:56):
against it on the group chat, what the hell are
you talking about? On another in another group chat, in
Grascia says never trust a Chinaman oh Indian. Never, just
for emphasis, just to make clear that he was he
was serious. And then he says, I I said, I

(31:25):
said we should make Kawanza illegal in the next Trump administration.
That was the gist of my tweet. No mullignon holidays
from Kawanza to Mlcage Junior Day, a Black History Month,
June teenth, every single one needs to be eviscerated, all right.
This is Trump's nominee to lead the office. So these

(31:49):
these texts came out I think today, and people are
kind of fantaic about what to do with his uh,
you know, with with his appointment. Well, what should we
do about all this? But it turns out this was
not new, and this was not unexpected, and people knew

(32:11):
of this, guys in that case, going way back, and
yet he was still nominated. I mean, he called for
martial law to keep Trump in office. He shaid nine
to eleven kind of truth you know, of conspiracy theories,
He's said white men were the smartest demographic. God not

(32:34):
if they were Republicans. He's been he was spotted at
a white nationalist rally. He said, he just stumbled into it.
I'm sure. He defended Alex Jones against the Sandy Hook
judgment quote, we all stand with Alec Jones. He called
October seventh a psycho op, psychop to distract from Columbus State,

(32:57):
calling Nikki Hailey and insufferable bitch and defend and has
defended nick for inters. That was all known before this morning.
And then not only was he nominated for the position,
but he was likely to be voted in because we
know center Republicans will just vote whatever Trump wants. Now,

(33:25):
you know, a bunch of gop sentenceors are saying, maybe
we won't vote for him after the Nazi streak and stuff.
Thune has said now that he's not going to pass.
But where was soon a week ago when this other
stuff was all known? So this is the kind of

(33:48):
people Trump is nominating. Who knows who else has gotten
through already that we haven't found the emails, the text,
or they haven't expressed themselves that way, but it's all
in their head. How many of the congressional staffords a
secretly racist, pseudo Nazi, antisemitic, just horrible people like this?

(34:11):
This is what the GOP is turning into. This is
what this party is becoming. And just put an exclamation
mark on that. Well, today, kash Baratel, now Kosh Bartel
is a favorite of market Maga right because he is
he's he's Mega conspiracy theory Cashpatel, he's the head of
the FBI. He's all in on Mega, all in on Trump. Well,

(34:37):
today he made a big strategic mistake. You know, Kosh
Bertel is Indian and he put out a tweet saying
happy d Wali. D Wally is the celebration of lights.
It's a festival of rights around the world. It's an
Indian celebration and you know, you wish to everybody happy
to Wali. Celebrating the festival of lights around the world.

(34:58):
There is good triumph over evil. That was his post,
and Mega went crazy. Christ is King. This is America.
We don't do this. Get the fuck out of my country, sir,
Please don't promote the festivals of fond gods in America.

(35:18):
This pagan bs is an American Go back to India.
Good triumphed over evil when Jesus Christ died on the cross.
Get your pagan nonsense out of here. This is America.
We don't do this. I've seen that one. Is that
the festival where they all shit in the streets. No,

(35:41):
America is a Christian nation heritage. Americans don't want demon
worship in our country. Christ is King. So these are
just some of the you know, my old friendly we
opened very accepting responses to a maga's own Kosh Patel,

(36:06):
who is the head of the FBI, and uh, but
he's got the wrong skin color. I wonder do what
jd Vance thinks of all this, given his wife's Indian habitation.
I wonder if, if, if if Jadvance put out a
tweet today celebrating de Wally, A lot of people did,
quite a few people I saw online. I doubt JD.

(36:29):
Vance did in spite of the fact that his children
half Indian. For whatever that's worth. Pretty nutty, Pretty nutty.
A pastor at refuge church in Ogden, Utah basically said
to Cash Bartel, go back, go back, or you know

(36:57):
somebody else again. Here's the deal. Either go back to
your home country or assimilate into Christian America. Christian America. God,
I have not assimilated into Christian America. What are we
going to do? I assimilated into America but not Christian America.

(37:18):
Now we will see what happens tonight when Donald Trump
hosts a formal di wally event at the White House
at four pm, and while Trump is in heated tariff
negotiations with India and trying to get on India's good
side as he positions himself against India and Russia. My

(37:43):
guess is they'll slam Donald Trump. I mean, there is
an aspect of personality worship here when it comes to
when it comes to Trump. But there's certain things things
like religion and hatred of foreigners that you know, the faithful,

(38:07):
the Maga are just not going to give up even
if Donald Trump doesn't share their beliefs in and Donald
Trump is far more positive about immigrants I think in
his real life, and far more positive of people, far
less racist, put it that way, explicitly racist than his followers,
and the people he supports, and the people he encourages,
and the people he he winks at and and and

(38:29):
gives the thumbs up at, like in Charlottesville. I've mentioned
that again because I don't pisses some of you off
so much. And he encourages them, he supports them, he
he promotes them. He doesn't necessarily share all the ideas.
I don't think Trump, I don't consider Trump a racist,
but he encourages the racist, he supports the racist. He

(38:50):
he even he fertilizes the ground in which the racists grow.
That is what's going on. And the worst of these,
the worst racist, you know, fobes haters of foreigners are
the Christians, the Christian nationalists. I wonder what you know.

(39:12):
Heck says things about Dowali. I wonder if he's posted
a happy dow Wali to all the military personnel who
might be of Indian origin. I have my doubts that
he did that. All right, quick discussion on tariffs. I
just wanted to read you a letter to the editor.

(39:34):
Don Boudreau probably writes some of the best letters to
the editor that anybody writes out there. He's an economist.
George Mason, I don't agree with him on a lot
of things. Certainly I don't agree with him on on
a bunch of things anyway, But he's very good in
the letters he writes, and in terms of the economics

(39:55):
he writes. And here he's responding to an op ed
that ran last week basically in the Washington Post that
basically said economists were wrong about tariffs and they need
to rethink everything about tariffs. And I've seen people here saying, oh, no,
TAFs haven't been that bad. You were wrong. You're on

(40:15):
you know, I've seen that all over the place, and
you can see that all over the country, people saying, oh, well,
it wasn't as bad as you guys said, Well, what
did we actually say? See here's Don Boodeau. Though a
few economists carelessly exaggerated the likely ill effects of President
Donald Trump's talis, economist's overwhelming consensus was not that inflation
would surge, supply chains would crash, and the economy would

(40:38):
be plunged into a deep recession while the stock market tanks.
That is all a quote from the bad Economists were
wrong about tariffs. They need to figure out why, which
was published last week. Because trade is a relatively small
part of the US economy, we talked about this. The
tariffs were never destined to wrect damage on such a scale.

(41:00):
That doesn't mean economists have been wrong about tariffs. TAOS
will neither will neither spark a booming manufacturing employment, nor
increased total employment, or raise wages. Tariff should not be
used to reduce trade deficits. But because tariffs are poor
tool to achieve this outcome, and because this outcome isn't

(41:22):
necessarily desirable, and because tariff's diverted resources from more to
less productive uses, they reduced the rate of economic growth
much smaller. Tariffs had this effect during Trump's first term,
this effect being, you know, slowing economic growth, and there's

(41:43):
every reason to expect a negative, a larger negative effect
in a second term. Reasonable estimates of a tariff induced
slowing of economic growth range fromer point four percent to
one percent annually. Now that's huge, by the way, that's
a lot. So let's take an estimate of the smaller

(42:04):
side and say that on average, TAIS will reduce annual
US economic growth from roughly two point five percent to
two percent in twenty thirty five, each American man, woman,
and child would on average have approximately five thousand dollars
less income than if the tasts weren't in place now.

(42:27):
Although not cataclysmic, this economic loss is substantial, and nothing
in the data so far shows that economists are wrong
to predict that. So good letter on economics of this.
You could also, of course talk about the morality of it,
the government interfering in our lives, telling us what to

(42:47):
buy and what not to buy, allocating our resources for us.
And of course five thousand dollars doesn't sound like a lot,
but if you're making fifty thousand percent, that's a lot
of money for a lot of people. Those all in
real terms, assuming you know, adjusted for inflation. And of

(43:09):
course if you carry this out twenty years out, fifty
thirty years out, you get much much more truttage your numbers.
Half a percent of GDP growth less half a percent
of GDP growth every year is a lot. It makes
an enormous difference to the wealth of our children, to
our own wealth in ten twenty years, assuming your life,
and to a wealth of our children and grandchildren. And

(43:32):
I've told you this for years now. Very few things
the government does is going to result in a massive
economic collapse. Here I defer again from people like Peter Schiff.
We're not going to see just everything falling off a cliff.
US economy is still too dynamic, too many entrepreneurs, too
much stuff, actually too many values actually get produced in

(43:54):
this country. What the government does, what the Fed does,
would bail out to do, what tariffs do, what bad
economic policy does, what Trump taking equity positions in American
companies does, reduces our freedom more badly. From an economic perspective,

(44:15):
it leads to stagnation, just slower economic growth over the
very long over the short run, in the long run,
and that leads to us being poor. So we're not
going to fall off a cliff, which is can not
going to be as rich as we could be. And
at some point, at some point, you know, we might

(44:39):
flat now and in a sense of we might have
no economic growth and at some point we might actually
shrink slowly, but it's likely to be slow rather than
big sharp drops. And if there is a big sharp drop.
It probably probably rebound and then stagnate. All right, h

(45:02):
Let's talk about one of my favorite people, as you know,
let's let's talk about JD. Evans. JD Vance, I think
one of the most horrible people out there. I want
to there's a video out circulating with clips of JD.

(45:24):
Vance speaking, and I want to show you this video
because I think this video encapsulates who Jadvance is. And
I'm actually gonna play it at you know, one on
a quote of speed, because hey, why not let's see
a Jdvans talk really really fast. The video is five
minutes long. I don't know if I'll show you the
whole thing, but we'll play it. Maybe I'll stop it,
maybe I won't, and and you well, probably i'll stop it.

(45:48):
Right I can't help myself, and you can. You can watch.
This is the future of the Republican Party. Well not no,
I should say this is the present and the future
of the Republican Party right now. According to polls among
the Republicans, Date Events is leading the leading candidate to
be the presidential nominee in twenty twenty eight. Assuming Trump

(46:08):
is on running, he is likely to be president. He
is smart, articulate, ideological He knows what he wants. Let's
listen to what he wants.

Speaker 2 (46:27):
Go after the companies that are destroying this country. Reward
the companies that are building it.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
It's that simple.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
That's what public policy is about.

Speaker 1 (46:33):
If you think so. The government shoued reward companies that
are building this country based on the government's assessment of
whether the building are destroying, and penalize the company destroy
this country. Now, no understanding here that the fact is
that companies that build, create value, trade with us, make money.
Ah by definition building the country, and the countries that
are destroying this country are the companies that are losing money,

(46:55):
that are going bankrupt and therefore destroying the country. No
understanding that that's exactly what the market does. The market
rewards those that build the country and destroys. But Timbankoshi,
it's called creative destruction. Companies that don't I mean. And
it's not that he's no understanding. This guy has read

(47:16):
iron Man. He used to be a free market guy.
It's that he understands that that's not where power is.
Power is in I like you, I don't like you.
You get a subsidy, you get destroyed. I put you away,
we break up your company, we subsidize your company. That's power.
There's no power in you know, write contracts, go go

(47:41):
have fun, go go go put you stuff, Go make stuff,
go build stuff, go make stuff. If you don't go bankrupt,
that's fine with me. I'm not going to bail you up.
There's no power in that. Power demands action, power demands intervention.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
I think that we're going to have to fight back
against corporate America, against big tech, against the pharmaceutical industry.

Speaker 1 (48:00):
We have to fight back against corporate America. Well, I mean,
one way you can fight back is don't buy their products.
But no, we have to fight back against them. You
don't have to do these things.

Speaker 2 (48:10):
Well, the Governm's pretty much the only path in town.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
What I worry, Well, the only way to fight big
corporation is using the companies, right, I mean, what are
you and me going to do? Not buy their products.
That's not fighting and it's not in mass just you
and me. Maybe we can advertise it, but it's not
going to be huge. But the coverman can fight them.
They can regulate them, it can sue them, it to

(48:33):
shut them down, and it can subsidize the guys that
they like, and he assumes we have to fight big
go operations. We have to, and maybe this was in
the days of di I. What about when there's no
di I. Well, we still have to fight them because
they're not doing what we want them to do. That
they're not enhancing the country by my own, by his

(48:54):
own whatever estimates, whatever, those only path in town.

Speaker 2 (48:58):
What I worry about is that we have outsourced in
the conservative movement our economic and our domestic policy thinking
to the libertarians.

Speaker 1 (49:06):
Outsourced economics and domestic policy theory to libertarians. Now, let's
hear assumed libertarians means free markets. So let's not let's
not address the wacko libertarians, just free market libertarians, people
who want free markets. Let's assume that's what he means. Yeah, right,
When did this ever happen? When was the last time
there was mass deregulation? When was the last time we

(49:29):
shwunk them and spending? When was the last time we
lowered the level of welfare spending? When was the last
time we proposed reforming Medicare and social security? When was this?
I mean, I wish, but the Republican Party has never
been pro free markets, and it certainly is never outsourced

(49:50):
their thinking to free market types, and they've never implemented
any free markets common Coolidge was not that great in
many respects. Calvic Coolies was awful and set us up
for the disaster that we live in today. It's terrible
on tariffs, it's terrible in immigration.

Speaker 2 (50:13):
So the failure to use political power that the public
has given is a choice.

Speaker 1 (50:22):
The failure to use political power means the failure to
use force, the failure to use cosion, the failure to
use a gun.

Speaker 2 (50:32):
And it's a choice that has increasingly had and I
think increasingly had will have incredibly dire consequences then we have.

Speaker 1 (50:38):
So it's a choice, it's a choice of Republican Party
is made not to use cosion. Wait a minute, what
are we talking about? Hasn't think Republican Party grown government
substantially and significantly? Where's there? When did the er party
ever stand for free markets? Maybe a little bit under again,
a little bit teeny LEENI bits.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
Have to be willing to pursue a politics that actually
wants to accomplish something besides just making government smaller.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
When did Republicans have pursue a policy to make them smaller?
When did this happen?

Speaker 2 (51:13):
Problem with frankly some of our intelocutors on the right
is that their worldview appears to be that every time
Republicans gain a governing majority, they have to sit on
their hands and do nothing with it.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
Are critiques of the administrative nothing I wish they do
nothing with it. They always go gunment, spend more, regulate the.

Speaker 2 (51:30):
State are very often correct. But our answer to this
can't be every single time the American people give us power,
the only thing that we try to do is to
trim down the thing that they gave us control of them.

Speaker 1 (51:41):
But they gave you control of it so that you
choose me down. You ran on that, and then they're
making people say, yes, we like that, we like cheap Partty,
we like Marco Ubio and Takkus and these guys, we
like them. We want them to trim Guman down. That's
what we voted for. And then they go in there
and they don't trim it down, and that's when the
American people get frustrated and angry. But the reason some

(52:08):
of us voted for you gave you power was for
you to trim government and then you don't. So who's
between whom here you want to use that power to
grow your power? You want you tell us on the
campaign show, you get a trim government, you poe the Constitution,

(52:31):
pro the founding of America, profounding fathers, and then when
you get into the power, you want to abuse that
which you do. You've done it all the time. I mean,
he's got such a straw man of the Republican Party.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
The counter argument to the idea that well, we can't
give the power to govern, We can't give any power
to government because then the left might misuse it is
to look at the United States military. Right, If your
argument is Gina Raimondo may misuse the Chips bill, therefore
we cannot do the Chips bill, Well, we should abolish
the Department of Defense because Joe Biden's doing a lot
of crazy crap with the Defense Department.

Speaker 1 (53:03):
It looked a big difference. Uh you figure that one out.
On that one's beyond beyond me. It's it's complete nonsensical.
As if the defensive mind was not being abused by
both left and right, Jeesh Bush suddenly abused the Defense
Department and on military. Yeah, you know that should make

(53:25):
us think twice. No, whoops, what did I do? Yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
Look, A big difference between the left and right is
the left loves to use power and the right is
terrified of using power. Really, I did this event at
the Yale Federal Society recently where they asked me for
my three favorite unions purely in terms of policy outcomes,
and I said, in order, Bernie Sanders, Lives of the Thorn,
and Tulsa Gabbart.

Speaker 1 (53:53):
Notice that what Berdy said is Elizabeth Wong, Tulsia Gobett.
Those as favorite Democrats in terms of policy outcomes. He
took the most left wing Democrats. And you want to
tell me this administration is dramatically better different than a

(54:17):
democratic one when he comes to domestic policy in many
respects that much much was Elizabeth Wwan, Bonnie Sanders, Tulsi Gobbett.
Those are the three he chose in terms of policy outcomes.
He shares the same outcomes. We're talking about egalitarianism. They're
all egalitarians, haters of business, haters of entrepreneurs, haters of success.

(54:42):
And this is a young JD. Events, This is when
he was less radical.

Speaker 2 (54:47):
Has a basic instinctive advantage because they love to use power.

Speaker 1 (54:50):
But we're just gonna have to get over it, or
you have.

Speaker 2 (54:51):
A conservative movement that very often sort of saw its
purpose as scaling back progressive exercises of power rather than
pursuing its own ins, and that I think was a
really really significant problem. And if there's a sort of
distinction between the new right and the old right, and
probably again abstractions are always really challenging, but it's probably
that the old right was terrified as using power for

(55:12):
conservative for conservative is, and the new right is not.
Why don't we see them?

Speaker 1 (55:17):
The new right is not afraid of using power. You
all should be really, really really afraid of the new
right because they want to use power like the left,
and the outcome they want is no different. He just
said on outcomes, he agrees with Elizabeth want Boody Sanders,

(55:38):
Untlcy got where the defenders of the Trumpet administration. I
don't see them in the chat. Maybe somebody can defends of.

Speaker 2 (55:52):
The Ford Foundation tax their assets and give it to
the people who have had their lives destroyed by their
radical open borders agenda. You hear this phrase, Steed, You
hear this solution, Go woke, go broke right. If the
railroad industry has gone woke, and it has. If it's
setting off chemical bombs in our communities and it has,
isn't it the job of the servants of the people
to make them pay up a little bit? Some issues,
I'm very traditionally conservative, you know, but like one issue,

(56:12):
for example, where I depart pretty strongly from the traditional
Republican line is I think a lot of folks in
the Republican Party they see what's going on with Google, Apple, Facebook,
with big tech writ large, and they say, well, we
don't like what they're doing, we don't like the fact
that they send their conservatives, but they're private companies and
so we can't actually do anything with them. And my
response to that is, well, first of all, they're not
actually private companies. They benefit from a ton of special
government privileges. But also they're just too powerful, Like.

Speaker 1 (56:36):
Freas speech just went out the window. Guys went out
the window, not even pretense of free speech. So what
if they're private companies, they're big, and we hate big.
Sounds exactly like the left, sounds exactly like Elizabeth Wan.
We hate big, and if they're behaving in ways that
we don't like, behaving in ways that we don't like
whatever that happens to me. By the way, I'm sure

(56:57):
right now Twitter would not make that list because Twitter's
behaving the way he likes, not the way the left likes,
but the way he likes. Who gets to a side?

Speaker 2 (57:12):
You know?

Speaker 1 (57:12):
This is uh, this is stunning, and I mean it's
really thank you to Jason Hart. By the way, Jason Hart,
I think a kind of free market economist. I think
who put this compilation together and you can find it online.
It goes on. There's another two minutes, minute and a
half of this, but you get the drift of this.

(57:35):
These guys are really evil. They're really evil. This is uh,
this is the kind of country they want to turn
us into, a status authoritarian country where the weight uses
power to tell us how to live. I mean, he

(57:56):
is a He is a student of Beneen Patrick Deneene
from Notre Dame, who advocates for the use of government
to dictate morality. Indeed, the government should be run based
on Christian morality. He's an advocate of Vermule, the law

(58:18):
professor at Harvard University, who is a common good conservative
who believes that the Constitution means nothing, that what matters
is the common good and everything should be interpreted in
the context of the common good. Scary stuff, scary scary

(58:38):
scary stuff. I'm trying to scare you, guys. I'm trying
to get some of you, maybe some of you already
there to take the threat from the right seriously. I
know some of you want me to play, some of
you want you to play. Okay, here's here's the rest
of it. However they got there.

Speaker 2 (58:56):
They're way too powerful and they're way too big at
this point.

Speaker 1 (58:58):
Time to break them up. It's time to story trying
to break them up, break up big ten.

Speaker 2 (59:02):
Whatever is necessary so that we can continue to have
a good life in this country that all of us love.

Speaker 1 (59:06):
Try to do whatever is necessary, whatever is necessary, whatever
is necessary.

Speaker 2 (59:11):
To save our democracy from oligarchs who are taking it away.

Speaker 1 (59:14):
Oligaus. These guys are alagous Facebook. By the way, the
team of Tucker Cuss and Jadvance very close, still very close.
In spite of Techer Cosson going completely nuts and of
the off the reservation, they're still very close. Can you
imagine a Jdvance president with his chief advisor being Tucker Calson? Uh?

(59:38):
Jdvans is no friend, He's a friend of Russia. He
hates Zelenski. He's no friend of Israel. At the end
of the day. He might pretend to be, but he's not.
Remember Tucker Causon's trajectory. He's certainly no friend of capitalism.
There's just no pluses, no virtues. He's not woke, although

(01:00:03):
he might be woke, right.

Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
Google, well, especially Twitter, YouTube, These companies all really do
control one information gets out there in public school?

Speaker 1 (01:00:11):
Do you hear YouTube's coming after you?

Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
Is when you know, more establishment style conservers will say, well,
you can't do anything about this. They're private companies. Yeah, Well,
first of all, that's totally b us. They've benefited from
any number of special government privileges. They're not.

Speaker 1 (01:00:22):
So that means that everybody's benefited from government privileges is
not private anymore. By the way, all of you have
driven on government roads. You probably went to goverment schools.
You you probably benefit someone from goverment healthcare. You've all
benefited somewhat from government, and some of you might have
benefited from the minimum wage and benefited from you know,
all those all those all those benefits that you get

(01:00:43):
from your employer, that's all government mandated see, you've all
benefited from goverment, and then for none of you a
private all of you are basically owned by the government,
you know, and therefore they can control tell you what
to do, tell you what to say, tell you how
to behave you had just pawns because the government is

(01:01:03):
because the government has touched to you in some way.
God forbid, the concept of freedom come up.

Speaker 2 (01:01:10):
Really private companies. They're basically behemoths that have been built
on the back of special protections from the government. The
other piece of it is that even if they were
truly private companies, which again they're not, I care more
about their ability to control the flow of information. They're
just too powerful, private or public. One of the things
I think conservatives would push back against is anything that's
too powerful. And they're way, way, way too powerful. So

(01:01:30):
even Facebook are not giving.

Speaker 1 (01:01:32):
Me even if they were completely private, he says, it
wouldn't make a different stand. Even if they were completely private,
it wouldn't make a difference stand because what he's concerned
about is the common good, the public interest, what's good
for society. They're just too powerful. They're just too big,
and he knows how big you should be, right there's
an optimist size, and JD. Vans or his experts, they

(01:01:56):
know they are smart enough Dynata by exactly the eight size.
A company needs to be.

Speaker 2 (01:02:07):
Like me because I believe that Americans ought to be
able to speak their own mind in their own country.
And I think these companies are too big. We want
to think that Teddy Roosevelt approach to some of them,
break them up.

Speaker 1 (01:02:14):
Wait a second, JD.

Speaker 2 (01:02:15):
Google is a private company and we have no interest
in attempting to constrain or control its behavior.

Speaker 1 (01:02:21):
I know people say that, yeah, what no money you
say when they do.

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
Well, my reaction to that is is, first of all,
if I'm being honest, I just don't care.

Speaker 1 (01:02:30):
Go after that. And you got to say as a
as A as a premium, as a for sticking with
the video all the way to the end, you got
Tucka's law laugh, which is the spookiest most evil laugh ever,
Well not evil really, just ridiculous. So yeah, yeah, you

(01:02:51):
gotta see it. You got to hear that is jet Events.
You can find that video on Twitter or Jason HoTT
just go to Jason Hart's website. He put it up
there with an article articulating his case against him, and
pretty unbelievable, Pretty pretty unbelievab. Why did I put the
pre show on? That's what it should be. Sorry, I

(01:03:14):
just don't care, he said. I just don't care. They're
private companies, JD. We live in America. Individual rights, freedom
and and uh, free association and freedom, capitalism, member, free market,
stuff like that. I just don't care. I have a
vision and that's what we're going to pursue. I just
don't care. And then you get Tucker's life perfect perfect? Hi?

(01:03:43):
All right, where we yes, it's kind of a anything
is Let's talk about rfk's new guidelines for saturated fat.
So FK is going to issue new US Department of

(01:04:04):
Health guidelines for saturated fat, and he is going to
encourage us all to eat more saturated fat. You guys
do not eat enough saturated fat, it turns out, and
he wants you to eat more. New dietary guidelines. He
says that are common sense that stressed the need to
eat saturated fats of dairy, of good meat, of good

(01:04:25):
of fresh meat and vegetables. When we release those, it
will give everybody the rationale for driving it into our school.
So we're going to get kids to eat most saturated fat. Now,
I don't really have a strong position on whether you
should be eating more saturated fat or less saturated fat.
But I do have a strong position on the fact

(01:04:48):
that it's none of the freaking business of government to
tell me I'm a saturated fat I should eat. Sorry,
I feel strongly about this. The food pyramid is attributed
to the obesity crisis in America. It's probably made us
less healthy. I don't know if Kennedy's guidelines are right
or wrong, and it doesn't matter the guidelines. There should

(01:05:12):
be no guidelines coming from the government. And it doesn't
matter if the people in the government are doctor scientists.
Einstein's what I eat is my business and my doctors.
I should consult with my doctor. And you know what,
doctors disagree. I know people who think only eat meat,

(01:05:34):
one hundred meat, all day, all night, eat steak. That's it.
It's called the Carnivo diet, the Eskimo diet. Look Eskimos
live fine lives and they eat no vegetables, no food,
they take no vitamins, they only eat meat and they're cool.
So you should do the same. And then I know

(01:05:55):
people who say no, no, no, no, no, you know
then that that's terrible, that's really, really, really bad. You
should eat only vegetables. You should be a vegan. And
there's a lot of science. There's a lot of research
that shows that vegans live healthy and longer than non vegans.

(01:06:18):
I think, I don't know. Esk Himos don't eat berries.
They're no berries in northern Alaska, southern Alaska, mete No,
they eat only meat only. So what is right? Well,

(01:06:42):
you need to figure that out. Ideally you would get
help from you a doctor. There are a lot of
doctors online are pinting about this. I like a tea
you know, I watch a lot of a teas peed
Atias videos. But I know some of you hate him,
and particularly on the diet stuff on food. But the

(01:07:04):
point is, yeah, I mean, Nate says Pete's diet is
the only way, the only way. I mean, it's amazing
how diet has become religion. There's only one diet. Everybody
should follow it. There's only one God. Everybody should follow him.
If you don't eat the right diet, you should feel guilty.

(01:07:27):
Not breastfeeding is the original sin. I don't know what
the right diet is and I'll say something else. Nobody
Nobody knows what the right diet is. There's a lot
of debate and disagreement around it. More than that, it's
not obvious or clear that the right die for you

(01:07:47):
is the right die for me. We have different metabolisms,
we react differently to different foods. Diet is probably personal.
We're not identical. Our bodies are not identical, absolutely not.

(01:08:09):
Our biomeme ole guts is not the same. And you
know the way our bodies function, the hormone levels are
not the same. Different males here have different levels of testosterol.

(01:08:30):
Females have different levels of estrogen. How does that impact diet?
How should it impact diet? The idea that we're all
the same is absurd. In our bodies is absurd and ridiculous.
It's just not true. And while you can, you can
come with high probability, you know, lots of sugar is

(01:08:51):
probably not good for you. But diet has become religion,
and JFK has a particular religion. But the point is
religion has no place in government. Diet has no police
in government. Science has no police in government. The government

(01:09:11):
shouldn't have a position on quantum mechanics. The government shouldn't
have a position on the best cancer treatment. The government
shouldn't have a position or what I should eat and
what my kids should eat. So, whether you agree with
your off case recommendations or not, just get the government

(01:09:34):
out of our pantry. Finally, some good news after all
that depressing stuff. We've talked a lot over the years
about how awful San Francisco has become. The homeless problem,
the exit of all the businesses, the fact that you know,

(01:09:54):
much of downtown and Southern Market became like a ghost town,
the shuttering of businesses, the basically the collapse of hotels collapse,
not physical collapse, collapse, monetary collapse of hotels in San Francisco,
the fact that a lot of department stores have left.

(01:10:17):
So I thought i'd give you some good us and
this is a headline the Wall Seat Journal. San Francisco
emerges from the shadow of a doom loop. Crime is down,
rents up, and the city is rebounding to large extent
because of AI, the boom and AI, but also because
companies are now requiring people to come in and because

(01:10:39):
they got rid of their super woke Maya and they're
clamping down and clearing some of the homeless encampments. I
still wouldn't go to the ten Deloin district, but generally
fewer homeless than there was just a little while ago.
You're seeing more people in the downtown and in the
tech area around the Salesforce Tower. Restaurants are opening, and

(01:11:05):
restaurants seem relatively in gate full. And a lot of
this is around AI, around the fact that new companies
are based in San Francisco's because that's where the talent is,
and the fact that venture capital is investing and people

(01:11:27):
are relocating. As a consequence of people relocating to San Francisco,
rants are up supplying demand. Remember that they were down
for a long time from twenty two to twenty four.
Rents plummeted in San Francisco as people were leaving. Now
they're back up. It's the same as you remember. There
was a story can New York recover from COVID? Will
New York ever recover COVID? I know a lot of

(01:11:50):
people said, no, New York can never recover. This is
such a blow, it's finished. Well, it turns out not
so much. So you know, you're you're you're you're seeing
new shops opening in downtown San Francisco. Even around the

(01:12:11):
civic area, you're seeing, uh, economic activity. I am going
I'm going to be in San Francisco for a couple
of days in November. Hotel rates way up. About a
year ago, you could go to San Francisco and get
a really nice hotel room at a really nice hotel
for the cheap. Now in the nice, nice areas and
the nice hotels rent, you know, room rates are way up.

(01:12:35):
So yeah, huge and uh you know and good good
to see. I mean, San Francisco is still one of
the three most beautiful cities on the planet. And uh,
a resurrection of the city, a city coming back, would
be phenomenal. Another you know, uh, you know, San Francisco's

(01:12:59):
always benefit from gold rushes. Currently it's the AI gold rush.
And you know, one of the big ones is crime
is done. Burglary is for example, at down twenty eight
percent this year, which is huge, and overall crime by

(01:13:20):
any measure is down quite a bit. All Right, I'm
going to quick, quick, more quick. One most story that
could couldn't fit into the title. But you know Trump
of the one of the things Trump likes to do
is he likes to promise all of us lower prices.
I mean, he has advocated for lower oil prices, gasoline

(01:13:40):
prices to fill our cause, and he's fulfilled that. Gasoline
is very cheap right now, and all prices are way down,
so much down that there's very little drilling in the
United States because it's very difficult to make money at
these really cheap oil prices. And but Trump is big
on lowering prices for consumers and trying to trying to

(01:14:01):
manipulate markets to get the prices down. And he did
that with oil to some extent, and now he's trying
to do with beef, and part of that is going
to Argentina and buying huge amounts of beef from Argentina,
which will lower prices. I mean, that's what happens when
you buy stuff from overseas and you don't teriff it,

(01:14:24):
you don't tax it. What happens is you lower prices. Now,
if what Trump really wants to do is lower prices,
then he should reverse all his tariffs that would lower prices. Instead,
he is selectively choosing the industries in which he is

(01:14:47):
lowering prices by guaranteeing purchases I guess and giving exclusions
to tariffs. Now we know soybean farmers have been really,
really hood by the tariffs. Well, now you know, now
that the United States is committed to buying Argentinian beef

(01:15:08):
in large numbers, beef prices is going to start declining.
And guess who's pissed off? All those Trump supporters who
happened to be cattle farmers, cattle ranchers, not farmers ranchers.
I'm appalled President Trump, who campaigned on how he loved farmers,

(01:15:29):
is putting American farmers out of business by helping Argentinian farmers. First,
said John Boyd, a cattle and crop farmer and founder
of the National Black Farmers Association. Trump set us up
and sold us out Merriwether farms. Dear Poters, Trump, we

(01:15:50):
love you and support you, but your suggestion to buy
bee from Argentina at the stabilized beef prices would be
an absolute betrayal to the American cattle rancher. Here's the
lesson learned, and this should have been learned a long

(01:16:11):
time ago, and it's a lesson many people know. But
if theyde anyway, central planning doesn't work, don't try to
manipulate prices. But if you want American people to do well,
if you want them to achieve, if you want generally
wages to go up and purchasing power to increase and

(01:16:31):
stand up, living to go up, and cost of living
to go down, just get out of the frigging way.
Don't tax us, don't terrif us, don't regulate us. Don't
tell us which contru should buy beef from for that matter,
don't tell us how much beef we should eat. Just
get out of frigging way. Let markets work. Markets in

(01:17:01):
other words, freedom an amazing way, amazing way in which
by which production happens, resources are allocated, and we all
basically are better of All right, guys, that is the

Criminal from the UK, Nottingham from Canada. We've got a
very international audience here. Well, soon I'm gonna answer a
question from the Czech Republic and let's see who else

(01:22:49):
did a sticker? Ryan from Canada again, Canadians are much
more generous. What's going on Americans? Stephen Harper, thank you. Yeah,
lots of Canadians have a big following in Canada. I
guess Mike Dial, Joseph thank you, and Jonathan Honing thank you,

(01:23:10):
Mary Eileen, thank you. Thanks to all the stick of people.
Stick of people we call them here in Thearon Bookshow.
All right, Jacob asking a question from the Czech Republic.
I said I'd make a big donation once I got
a job I was aiming for. So today this is
my small celebration. Wouldn't have made the move without the

(01:23:31):
moral guidance from Ari. Thank you, Jacob. I really happy
for you. I'm glad you made the move. Check out
my Rules for Life, where I talk a lot about
taking risks and making moves and pursuing life and going
for it and not settling, not not not settling. And

(01:23:53):
I appreciate you choosing to celebrate in this way and
to celebrate with us. Thank you for your support fifty dollars.
That is very, very generous and made a real dent
in achieving the goal. But still need these guys help, Okay, chasbat.
How long before a completely artificial eye has developed night vision, telescopic, infrared,

(01:24:18):
ultra violet video capture, and who knows what else? Yeah,
and I think it's a while, particularly at high resolution,
which is what you want. You know, it's probably I
don't know, several decades away. But yes, I mean, the
whole robotization of the human mind and our senses is
going to happen. We are going to be bionic in

(01:24:39):
one way or another. We're going to be bionic. We're
going to have enhanced sensors, enhance abilities, and that is
a wonderful thing, not a thing to be afraid of,
but I thing to embrace and celebrate. Human beings are
going to, in a sense merge with the machines and
be better for it. Use our capacity to reason, a

(01:25:01):
capacity to choose, with the unbelievable capacity to compute, which
machines have. Thank you, Chez about Jamie. The left seems
happy to see malays libertarians have fail due to the bailouts.
But is PACL collapse really Malay's fourth? Who's to blame?

(01:25:21):
And why on earth did he did he lose last
election when he's accomplished so much frustrating? I don't know
who's to blame. I mean, look, has everything we lay
done being right? I don't know. I don't know enough
about that Argentina economy to judge it. You know, the
economy is definitely shrinking right now. The economy is in

(01:25:43):
trouble right now. Could he have done more? I don't know.
Given that he didn't control parliament, I don't know if
he could have done more. So we'd like him to
have done more.

Speaker 2 (01:25:57):
H But the.

Speaker 1 (01:25:58):
Collapse, I think to a lot extent was there was
out of sentiment change the fact that he lost election. Now,
he lost the election in Bonus IRUs, which was always
to the left of me Lay, but it was biological
margin that people thought, and people were led to fear
that this would result in him losing the election next week.
I don't know what's going to happen next week. Uh.

(01:26:21):
And and you know a lot of economics is based
on trust and and and and based on positive predictions
about the future. You invest in the future, and once
you lose confidence in the future, investment goes down. And
once investment goes down, fewer people employed, wages go down,

(01:26:45):
everything gets hood. So I think it's a changing sentiment
that changed it, and the collapse of the pay so
which was a consequence of the changing sentiments. What exactly
happens from now on we will see and we'll know
a lot more after the elections next week. Jamie says,
how would voluntary tax work? I have to think of

(01:27:05):
if government tells us we don't have to pay taxes,
nobody will pay it in military, police, justice system and
things government should do will cease to exist. Any examples
in history, No, but there are no examples of history
of lots of things. There were no examples of history
of a country founded on a declaration of independence and
of a constitution like America. So the fact that something

(01:27:26):
has not existed in the past doesn't mean it won't
exist in the future and can't work. I think you're
completely wrong. I think if the government came to us
and said, yeah, we're not requiring you to pay taxes,
we're not requiring you to pay But if you want police,
if you want a military, if you want a justice system.
Here's what we on average need people to contribute. I

(01:27:47):
think the government would get more than it needs. It
will run a surplus, which I worry about. You will
have to be someone in the constitution they have to
return supluses to the people. There'll be so much money
they won't know what to do with it. People will
be so rich, free, benevolent. Remember we have reached a

(01:28:11):
change where where the government is shrunk by ninety percent. Well,
we are free and unbelievably rich because the government is
shrunk by ninety percent, and therefore we have capitalism, and
people are innovating and creating and building and making, and
therefore we're all super rich. And then the government comes said,
you know, I don't know, something like five percent of

(01:28:31):
your income, somewhere between five to ten percent of your income.
If you did that, we could give you, we could
protect your rights. I would go, yeah, what a deal.
Here's a check. Like you guys give checks I don't
know them, an institute for some abstract idea that maybe
they'll change the world someday in the future. You give
checks to you give checks to charities, to help the poor.

(01:28:54):
Why would you not give a check for somebody to
protect you. Why would you not give a check to
have a milli Why would you not give a check
to have a functioning justice system that you will benefit from?
It is so fundamentally basically, you know obvious that people
would be happy to give their money. It would be

(01:29:18):
it's it's the most selfish thing you can do. Protect
my rights here, you want to protect my rights. Absolutely,
I want you to protect my rights. Here's a check. No,
As I said, I think government will have too much money,
so I absolutely think. And this is you know, the

(01:29:40):
difference between Americans and Europeans and maybe Canadians is Canadians
and Europeans and Israeli is a cynical Oh, nobody will pay.
But that's not true. It's just not true. It's why
Americans are generally generous. Why they give a lot of
money to charity, but not just to charities, to think
tanks and other things. If you run a think tank
in Europe, it's almost impossible to raise money because people

(01:30:03):
don't write checks. The government does it all. The government
writes the checks the think texts in Europe, So why
should you so Americans are very benevolent and therefore happy
to support causes that they believe in. What is a
bigger cause to believe in than your own security? The
objectivity of the law. And you know, if you had

(01:30:31):
an opportunity to go into a restaurant and eat and
walk out without paying and you'll never be caught, would
you do it? And I think overall the majority of Americans,
at least in the past, maybe not today, but suddenly
in the future, in this kind of future, would refuse
to do it. They would absolutely pay. I want to

(01:30:52):
pay for the values I get, which reminds you you, guys,
should pay for the value you get by listening to
the show. So stickers questions, Now, one hundred and eighty
five dollars to go. We've got twenty eight minutes to
get there. Twenty eight minutes. One hundred and eighty five dollars.
Not that big of a deal, Not that big of
a deal, all right, thank you, Jamie chasbad. But you're on.

(01:31:25):
If Trump can't play with tariffs, what else can you do?
Play golf? Trump should play golf twenty four to seven NonStop.
You should do nothing else but play golf, because he
playing golf no, he does no harm, does no damage. Jennifer,

(01:31:45):
you on. I have been to northern Alaska Eskimo villagers
and they do pick tun draw berries and preserve them
to keep for the whole year. Jennifer's just destroyed the
carnival myth. Have been telling me about Eskimos eating only
meat and never eating berries for years, and I believe them.

(01:32:06):
And Jennifer is just crushed everything I knew about Eskimo diets.
I believe you. It makes sense. They've got to get
some of those other vitamins. It's it's it would be
difficult other ways. So thank you Jennifer for expanding my knowledge.

(01:32:26):
I've never been to northern Alaska. This shows you that
you need firsthand, firsthand proof of stuff. Don't accept just
the stories people tell you to rationalize what they're doing. Ahdiyev,
thank you for the sticker. All right, Jennifer Alster says,
thank you for the great shows. Here are my thoughts.
Keep weight down, eat variety of foods, exercise, good sleep schedule,

(01:32:49):
don't drink too much, no smoking or crack. What have
you got to get crack? God, I don't get that.
I figure the rest is in your genes. Listen to
the dug. Yeah, I mean, look, I like Peter a
tea as I told you, and Peter basically says, look,
there's only one thing that is clearly correlated with longevity,

(01:33:11):
and that's exercise and particularly muscle mass. You've got to
be strong. You've got to be able to carry yourself.
You've got to be able to lift yourself. You've got
to be able to you've got to be stable. So
many people die because they fall, because they fall, and

(01:33:33):
they they never recover from. Like something like if you're
in your seventies and you fall and break break a bone,
break your hip. I think it's a hip, break a hip,
fifty percent of people are dead within a year. So
exercise be an exercise for strength. I mean cardio is

(01:33:54):
good too, but one important to strength vial to max
and NA cardiocide. It's viet max. Veal to max is
the most correlated to longevity. Again, and then when it
comes to food, we don't know. There's certain things we know.
Don't eat a lot of sugar. You want to lower

(01:34:16):
your APO B, which is in a sense, you want
to reduce the the the plaque formation in your uteries
and APO B is a good is a good way
to measure the risk of platforming in your uteries. You
want to lower your APO B. You can do that

(01:34:36):
by dieting. You can also do a drugs drugs that
are fairly safe. You can take a statin and lower that.
You want to lower it as low as possible, as
low as you can without completely changing your life. You
probably don't want to eat too much sugar. Uh you
know some sugar is good for you, But you know
and and and then eat a bunch of stuff. Eat

(01:34:57):
a variety of different foods, viety of vegetable. You eat meat,
there's nothing wrong with meat. You don't eat eat a
variety of the things. If you're you know, if you're
allergic to dairy, don't eat dirty. I don't eat dairy.
I mean not true. I eat cheese, but I don't
eat the soft dairy. And uh yeah, exercise now good

(01:35:18):
sleep is huge, which where I'm not that strong. Now again,
this is what I do and it's not. I don't
know what's good. I don't know with certainty what's good.
I know with probability. I think what I just told
you is close to the best science available. But I

(01:35:40):
might be wrong. I certainly don't have airy expertise, and
I don't know with certainty. But I have an opinion.
And this is my opinion based on my readings and
my research and what I've looked into and based on
my own body. So you do your own research figure
it out. What I don't want is the gunment telling

(01:36:02):
us what to do. But the idea that I don't
have an opinion would be ridiculous. I have a body.
I need to feed it. I need to decide what
to eat and what not to eat. The choices I
make choices are infinite, almost I need to decide what
to drink, whatnot to drink. I need to decide how
much the exercise and not exercise. I have to have
an opinion. Every one of you should have an opinion,

(01:36:22):
and that opinion should be based on research. I eat
dark chocolate. I actually eat ninety percent chocolate with almost
no sugar in do I. But I read very conflicting
evidence about chocolate. In some places, it says it's really
good for you and it has these things that help
with longevity. Other places say that's all bs. The research

(01:36:46):
is not there. One of the things I'm pretty good
at is knowing what I actually know and what I
have some sense might be helpful. And you know, I
take vitamins. I don't know if they're helpful. I think
they are. I mean, I child towards more helpful than not, right,

(01:37:07):
So I think they're probably probably sixty percent. Probably they're helpful.
I wouldn't take them if it was less than fifty percent,
but I don't know with certainty. So you know, the
same with Douk chocolate. It's I eat talk chocolate. I
hope it's good for me. I like the taste. I

(01:37:27):
don't eat a lot of sugar, and I feel much
better when I don't eat a lot of sugar. And
when I eat a lot of sugar, I feel like crap.
So that's a good measure, you know. Test it on yourself,
make your body a test. If I eat, if I
eat milk, I feel like crap. So you got to
you gotta make your own decisions. Jeffys, did they interstate

(01:37:50):
ruined trains? Well, they didn't not really. What ruin trains
was the Interstate Commerce Act in the nineteenth century, which
created a government regulatory body to regulate trains. So trains
were in trouble. Really from the beginning because they were regulated,

(01:38:11):
and then you know, anti trust was used against the trains,
and trains became the first industry in the United States,
maybe the second industry, but first or second to be
really really really crony, really crony. And you know, so

(01:38:35):
uh that ruined the trains in the state was competition
to the trains. But the reason, one of the reasons
interstate was built and became so successful is because the
trains were so pathetic and so behind. Yeah, so regulation

(01:39:00):
controls ruin trains well before the interstate highway system. And
and what's amazing is there's enough traffic to do both.
It's just that because of all the regulations and controls
and land regulations and and and controls and prices and

(01:39:21):
everything else, it's you know, it's almost impossible to make
enough money on trains and to and to find enough
investors and trains to actually modernize them so that they
really compete with the high ray system. Mhm, Michael, is

(01:39:44):
we lay leafs and bounds better than Thatcher and Reagan. Yeah,
probably from from an economic perspective. Probably. Now we'll see
what he does if he gets a parliamentary majority, and
and and can use it. But yeah, he's also starting
at a more negative point in the sense that Argentina

(01:40:05):
was more of a basket case than either England or
the United States were at that point. All Right, guys,
we are still one hundred and fifty dollars short. Thank
you Nicholas for the sticker, and thank you Paul for
the sticker. We're still one hundred and fifty and we've
got eighteen minutes. Eighteen minutes for one hundred and fifty dollars.

(01:40:30):
That's less than ten dollars a minute, so we can
do that. Maybe we'll see. All right, Jamie, what's a
realistic way we can transition away from federalz the Bank
of Canada? Would American dollar cease to exist? Would banks
all have their own money? How would that system work? Feasible? Yeah,

(01:40:54):
I think it is feasible. Banks would issue their own currency,
not all banks. You'd probably have a few very large banks,
maybe the top three, the top five, the top ten
banks issuing currency, and the entire system using that currency.
That councy would probably be redeemability into gold, and the
gold would be held by those by banks to be

(01:41:18):
redeemed at any one of any one of the levels,
but most that gold will be redeemed by the very
large banks. MMT is complete BS and the way to
get there, the way to get there realistically not realistic
in a sense that it w what happened because it

(01:41:38):
won't happen because this is not going to happen in
my lifetime or probably your lifetime. But is for example,
to say a year from today or first of January
twenty twenty seven, we are going to shift a gold standard.
We're going to tie the dollar to the price of
gold on that day, whatever the price of gold is

(01:41:59):
on that day, that is the dollar, and let the
market decide what gold is worth. Then uh, make all
dollars redeemable into into gold. That is, uh, the FED
would stop printing dollars and and and but make them

(01:42:20):
adeemable and then slowly start the process of the FED
stopping to issue dollars, reallocating gold to extend you know
that that's unreserved to Fed two various banks out there,
to the banks that are ultimately going to be the
issue councy issuers in exchange for the dollars, and slowly

(01:42:46):
sucking the existing dollar out of the economy. And what
you would get is a JP Morgan Chase dollar and
a City Bank dollar and a Bank of America dollar. Uh,
and those would serve as the councy. Now, now again,
that's very feasible, particularly in a digital world where you're
not literally carrying around gold and you're not literally carrying
around dollar dollar bills. Is it is feasible, It's doable.

(01:43:13):
It would dramatically improve the economy, dramatically improve our eliminate inflation,
but unlikely to ever happen, not ever, unlikely to happen
before there's a major philosophical revolution in the world. And
that's as far as I can tell. Far off did
Milton Friedman change the world. I mean, he had an

(01:43:34):
impact on the world. You know, he definitely helped bring
about the turn to the rights in the sense of
economic right that Ronald Reagan and Marga Thatcher were part of.
I think so did Miases, and so did Hayek, and
so did I Rant. I think those four had a
big impact on shifting in the nineteen seventies, on shifting

(01:43:59):
a away from Knezianism towards a free market and towards
a free market in the UK and in the United
States and ultimately on a global scale. Milton Frieda was
not profiat at the end of his days. He was

(01:44:21):
most of his career profit but towards the end of
his days he believed that the FED should be abolished
and we should go to a some kind of gold standard.
So I'd say, in the last fifteen years of his life,
I think that's what he held. Michael, it's Trump really

(01:44:42):
marketing and marketing genius or does he just happen to
be a rabbit dog in a time and place that
was looking to make a rabbit dog? Improt I think both.
I think he's a rabbit dog in a sense, but
he's also really good at marketing. You can see that
with his properties. But you can also see that in
how quickly he pivots and changes his mind on things
based on what he thinks will sell to his audience.

Speaker 2 (01:45:06):
Ye.

Speaker 1 (01:45:06):
But yeah, but I think he's both. I think he's both.
Mary Alan says, I know a number of Indian immigrants
who celebrate Diwali and have a Christmas tree. They kids
love it. Yeah, I mean more presence for them, absolutely,
why not celebrate more holidays? Kids love that. Matt the

(01:45:28):
right is worse. They both have the same evil principle
or lack of them entirely, but focus on different groups.
But the right is far more effective yep, I agree,
far more effective, and because they're more integrated, and because
they have a principle in which they integrate religion. This
is the dim hypothesis and nationalism nationalists religion a powerful

(01:45:52):
uniting principles that integrate into something. And we're integrating being
even if that integration is wrong. We'd rather integrate than not.
Z four hundred race, thank you for playing last clip.
Unreal How brazen he is? Yeah, I mean he tells
you what he thinks. We just need to believe him.
The mixed economy matches. The mixed economy will always lead

(01:46:15):
to advanced warrant types. It's a slippery slope pointing towards
a dark pit. It's immoral and thus does not work. Yep. Absolutely,
It's an unstable equilibrium that leads towards more statism unless
you managed to change the world and move it towards
greater freedom. Mats says, Goverment overreach has cannabis. Government overreach

(01:46:40):
has cannabis still listed as a Schedule one drug. Good thing.
I have no qualms with breaking laws that don't violate
anyone's rights. Well, I don't use cannabis never. You know,
I've tried it once, but I don't use cannabis. But
and I'm skeptical about how good it is for you.
But yeah, the government should have no business but of

(01:47:01):
course shouldn't have any business in the crack or haver
in business either. It should get out of the way. Newpaul,
what's your take on UK versus Argentina war. I'm on
the UK side. I mean UK provided the islands of
Falkland with freedom. Argentina was ruled by a military government,

(01:47:22):
it lacked freedom. I'm always for the side that is
pro freedom. I don't care who owned what when. I
am just about liberty. And if you get more freedom
under the Brits, even if they're eight thousand miles away,
go with the Brits. Christos. When you see your life

(01:47:42):
in business depending on the mood of your president and
you can't plan, you know your society is doomed and
dictatorship is either here or likely coming next. Sadly, I
think that's all true, and it is very scary times
in that sense because this president is it really isnts
and so much of our prosperity and our success in

(01:48:05):
the future depends on decisions made by this, this emotionless
goon right loan descent. A last question, last question. If
you want to support the show, now is the time.
Because this is the last question, do a stick up quickly?

(01:48:25):
Blue Jays or Dodgers. Hmmm, that's a tough one. I
can't support the Chase because they're the Red Sox rivals.
So I'd have to go with the Dodgers, La Dodgers,
Brooklyn Dodgers. They have an amazing history, but not because
I know anything about anybody. I don't follow baseball, and

(01:48:48):
you know, I only follow baseball when the Red Sucks
are doing well, and they haven't done well in a
long time. All right, guys, Tomorrow we will have a show,
but be a little early. So tomorrow the show is
a plan for two What are saying? When is the

(01:49:08):
show Tomorrow? The show's planning for one pm, one pm
Eastern time, so two hours early because I have to
catch a flight. So we'll do a quick show tomorrow
one pm, a new show, and then on Thursday, Thursday
we'll be touching go. It depends where they have time

(01:49:32):
exactly what's going on when I'm gonna be in New
York on Thursday. I'm traveling from Philadelphia to New York
on a wonderful train system, so I'm hoping to get
New York and time to do a show. I've got
a dinner in the evenings. You can't do it in
the evening. We'll see if it works out otherwise, I
hope to do a show on Saturday. All right, guys,

(01:49:53):
I will see you tomorrow. Oh, Tessa, did you watch
any of What's the question? Did you watch any of
the Outlander series? Thirty second opinion? I watched the beginning.
I watched a few chapters of the first season, a
few episodes of the first season. I couldn't get into it.

(01:50:15):
Couldn't get into it. I know a lot of people
who love the series, who think it's fantastic, but I
didn't find it interesting enough. I know it's very romantic
and romantic instence of love, but I just couldn't buy
into the premise and couldn't get into the relationships. The
characters didn't interest me enough. But that's just me. I

(01:50:36):
know a lot of people really really loved it. All right, guys,
I will see you tomorrow. Bye, everybody,
