Speaker 1 (02:00):
All Right?

Speaker 2 (02:00):
So there's this big story coming out of Washington, DC
and out of the negotiations around the supposed piece.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Deal between.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Between Ukraine and Russia moderated by the United States, around
the role that Witcoff Withitcoff has played in it, and
leaked transcripts, leaked video, eleaked audio of his conversations with

(02:29):
Russian's Russian advisors to Putin, and it's come to be
known at least, I think in the ran book Circles
at least as Witcuff Gate.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Witcuff Gate.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
I mean, this is so pathetic, it's ridiculous, and.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
He should be fired. He should have been fired immediately.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
He should be excluded from all future negotiations and all
future events and all future all future discussion about this stuff.
But it won't happen because he's a Trump like character.
He's a real estate developer from New York City and
therefore is a world class.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Uniquely qualified expert to do.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Geopolitics, and nobody can replace him. So there's no way
he's going anywhere anyway. Let's review a little bit what happened.
In early November. A twenty eight point proposal was drafted
by Steve Whitgoff and Putin's aid Kirol Dimitriev. That proposal

(03:43):
is leaked in early November. It's it's terms, including the
fact that Ukraine would see land and that Ukrainian military
would be have to be you know, small and controlled
by in a and you know, Russia were dictated all
kinds of other military restrictions, no natal participation, no foreign

(04:06):
troops on Ukrainian land, and all the rest of it
completely one sided. Basically, it's a twenty eight point proposal
written seems like written by the Russians on November twenty first.
November twenty first, basically, President Trump basically demands Ukraine accept

(04:28):
the deal by thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
This deal twenty eight points as written.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Otherwise, he threatens to cut off all critical US military
and intelligence aid, including intelligence is the lysk. He refuses,
he goes on one of these try it. You know,
one of his is crazy. You know, things about how
Ukraine started the war and so off, and you know,
Kiev is put under this impossible situation where it's been

(04:56):
pressured to capitulate. Then onw a second A day later,
U S senators at a a security forum told that
Secretary of State Marco Rubio is you know, is telling
them that the plan is not an American farm policy,

(05:19):
that indeed, it's just a Russian wish list and the
US was just passing along the Russian wish list. The
same day, the administration, including Rubio, immediately deny that he
told the senators. D and embraces the plan, claims it

(05:43):
was authored by the US and it's just a framework
for further negotiations, and it's not a Russian wish list.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
It wasn't written by the Russians. This is an American policy.
Jd Van. Then this is on the twenty fifth.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Of course, in between the twenty second and twenty fifth, right,
Marco Rubio fliesaid Geneva meets with the Ukrainians. They now
modify the plan with more Ukrainian input. It's becoming less
and less Russia's wish list and more and more.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Taking into account Ukraine.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
But nothing has been agreed upon because Lensky's coming to
meet with Trump in order to finalize the final details
of this. The most controversial points like NATO membership and
now giving up giving dun Bus, the whole of dune
Bus to the Russians. But yesterday Jedi Vance goes on
a Twitter attack against you know, senators like Mitch McConnell

(06:46):
and others who were attacking the plan as basically forcing
Ukraine to surrender, which it was absolutely that, and Vance
is like, no, no, no, we have to back this initiative.
This is the only way to get peace. Peace is
the ultimate value. Nothing else matters.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
It's all about peace, peace peppiece. And then yesterday Bloomberg.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Releases a transcript of a recorded call, a recorded call
between Whitcough and Putin's fan policy aid Yui Ushakov. And
in this phone call, this is a phone call. And
let's let's go back in time a little bit.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
This is a this is uh, let.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
Me just see, I had a timeline here of of
the phone call.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
One second. Uh. This is a phone call that was made.
What is it? I did it? I had it. Maybe
it's gone, it's gone. It's the speared all right, we.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Can recreate this. This is basically a phone call that
was made. If you remember, you know the twenty points,
the twenty points a piece deal with between Hamas and
Israel is approved and signed, and then Trump is is
kind of, you know, all excited and everything, but he's

(08:25):
pissed off at Putin and he basically is talking about
giving Tomahawk missiles to Zelensky. And he's he's he's considering
giving them Tomahawk missiles and is expressing his support for
Zelinsky and is talking pretty negatively for the first time
about Putin. And you know, and oh, here it is, okay,

(08:51):
here you are. October October thirteenth, Trump addresses, you know,
the Knesset in Israel. He's in Israel October fourteenth. On
October fourth teenth, Witkoff speaks to Ushakov and they talk about,
you know, they talk about the fact that Zelensky is coming.

(09:14):
And remember Trump has suggested that he's going to prove
Tomahawk missiles. And what Whitcoff is advising Ushakov is that
Putin called Trump before Zolensky arrives. Olynsky is about to
arrive in the seventeenth. This is the fourteenth. Whitcoff tells

(09:35):
Ushakov that what they need to do is draw up
a twenty eight. But you know, Applian similar to what
was just signed by Hamas and Israel, and that Putin
needs to call Trump up and express support for first
of all, suck up to Trump, tell Trump how he

(09:55):
admires his peacekeeping ability and how wonderful Trump, and suck
up to Trump, which is standard protocol, right, and then
suggest that Putin should suggest to Trump a you know
a a a similar point piece deal between Russia and Ukraine,

(10:20):
and you know that would and the Putin should say
that that would be impossible if Trump agrees to the
Tomahawk deal.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Right.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
He says, you know, Zelenski's coming to the White House
and fighter. This is direct quote from the transcript. Zelenski
is coming to the White House and fighting.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
I will go to.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
That because they want me there, but I think, if possible,
we have the call with your boss before that fight
a meeting. Uschakov asks Whitcoff whether it would be useful
for Putin to call Trump.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
Whitcuffs say yes.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
He also recommends that Putin congratulate Trump for the Gods
of Peace deal, say that Russia had supported it and
that he respects the president.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Does a man of peace.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
And then Wickcuff says to Shankov from that it's going
to be a really good call. Here's what I think
would be amazing. Witcuff ads. Maybe he says to President Trump,
you know, Stephen Yuri discussed a very similar twenty point
plan to peace, and that could be something that we

(11:40):
think might move the needle a little bit.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
We'll open to those sorts of things.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Oushakov seems to take some of that advice aboard and
he says that Putin will congratulate and then say, mister
Trump is a peaceman, a real peace man.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Now.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
Of course, two days later, Putin Callstrump. The call goes
on for two and a half hours. Trump calls it
very productive, and you know, he announces that he is
going to meet with the Russian leader in Budapest, and
you know, he mentioned in his press conference that Putin

(12:26):
congratulated him for Gaza. And following that call, you know,
then Widcoff meets with Kirol Dimitriev and according to a
native dmmetriv gave to Axios, dimetri Of told Acxios he
spent three days in Miami from October twenty fourth, and

(12:47):
that's when they pretty much put this twenty eight point
plan together on October twenty ninth, after Miami, Dmitrievnashakhov spoke
by phone in Russian and debade it.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
And again the transcripts of this go figure where that
comes from.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
They debated how strong the Moscow should push for its
demands in any piece proposal, and you know, the two
aids are considering the various options and the shock of
augues for asking for the maximum in this submission to
the White House. You know, he's concerned that if they
give in a little bit, the US might miss a

(13:27):
tipid any proposals as you know that they're willing to
compromise on anything, and they're not. And uh yeah, he
says he will talk to Putin and this is the paper,
you know, this is the position they hold, and Putin

(13:48):
will will support this. H Anyway, we can't tell if
that's what they talked about.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Is exactly what the twenty eight point proposal is.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
But I mean, all of this, all of this is
being orchestrated by basically Witkof and the Russians, And as
far as we know, Secretary of State Marco Rubio knows
nothing about this. Trump probably knows nothing about this, you know,

(14:20):
Witkoff is running his own operation basically clearly and equivocally
one sidedly in support of Russia. Now I showed you
or we talked about the fact that on Tucker's show, Witkoff.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
A month or two.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
I can't rearn when it was exactly said how much
he thought that basically Putin was a good guy any
worked over seventeen Selinsky visit the White House. It does
not go well for Zelensky, of course, because Trump has
just had a conversation which with puts In, and we
talked about this, and which which In complimented him and

(14:56):
said he wants peace and compliment him as a peace person,
and of course he is. Ze Lansky leaves without any Tomahawks,
indeed in.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
A much weaker situation than he was before.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
Again, October twenty fourth to twenty sixth, Witcoff meets DMITRIUV
in Miami. October twenty seventh, Dmitri and Ushkoff have their
strategy meeting, and then the twenty eight point thing is released.
And now as of yesterday we have transcripts of all
of this, of Whitcoff basically dictating FOM policy for the

(15:29):
United States and being.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
One sided, and which is just unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Whitcuff is basically given the Russians advice and out of
handle Trump compliment him peace, you know, man of peace,
all this stuff, and if you do all this conversation
will go well. Witcuff, you know, at this point is

(15:58):
basically a Russian agent. He's working with the Russians. And
here's the thing, you know, you have to feel sorry
for the Ukrainians. I mean, justice demands that we side
with the Ukrainians. Ukrainians were attacked with no provocation by

(16:18):
the Russians. They are fighting in self defense the aggressor
of the Russians. And since Trump came to office, he
has treated Zelenski.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
Horribly. He's treated Putin with great respect.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
He has denied aid to Ukraine and basically taken on
Russia's talking points as his own. Put maximum pressure on Zelensky.
Is if Zelensky is a bad guy, as if Ukraine
are the bad guys, to cape too late, to compromise,
basically to surrender. Now Zelaski somehow managed, I think because

(17:02):
Marco Rubio is basically pro Ukraine. Marco Rubio has a
lot more sense than any of these other people than
Witcoff or or Trump or any of his other advisers.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
It seems like and.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
Slowed things down and and and you know to a
point where we'll see where this piece piece deal deals.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
But it's just it really does seem unbelievable. Yeah, I
mean during.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
The call last month, here's some more quotes on the call,
Whitcoff said me to you, I know what it's going
to take to get a piece deal done.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Right.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
He's telling the Russians what they can expect to get
from the Americans right, done, ask and maybe a land
swap somewhere. But I'm saying, instead of talking like that,
let's talk more hopefully, because I think we're going to
get a deal here. He then goes on and says,

(18:14):
the President will give me a lot of space and
discretion to get to get the deal. So if we
can create that opportunity that after this, I talked to
Yuri and we add a conversation, I think that could
lead to big stuff. Oschakov says, Okay, that sounds good.

(18:36):
What else would you say? Widcov is basically handing him
the whole thing on a silver platter. I mean, arguably,
you know this is treeson us, but you know if
Russia is an enemy, but it's.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
It's just terrific, just to Briffic. And this is the
quality of.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
Trump, you know, farm policy, this is the quality of
how he negotiates. These are the people he puts in charge.
I mean again, Whitcuff is a real estate agent. A
real estate guy built commercial real estate in New York
at the same time Trump built residential And you know,

(19:34):
I'll just put this aside, no proof, nothing but Whitcuff.
You know, in his real estate dealings in Manhattan, in
New York, lots of connections to Russian expats, to Russian honagous,
to Russian capital involved in I mean remember many of
those many of many of the buildings, the condos that

(19:58):
were built in New York, we're funded and ultimately bought
by Russian interests. So we have here a senior official
in the Trump administration, one with a direct connection to
Trump and reporting directly to Trump, not to Marco Rubi

(20:20):
or anybody else, advising an adversary on how to handle
Trump and how to handle them, and what they can
expect in terms of a compromise going into the negotiation.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
Who they all needs to negotiate when.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
You've got completely insight track on what the other party
is arguing. So now Whitcoff, there's also the corruption, the
issue of Whitcoff's son managing a big crypto crypto fund
or something that the Katari Katari's are heavily invested in,

(21:06):
and of course that had a lot to do with
Wikoff shuttling off the Kata all the time in these
negotiations with for the Kamas Israel deal.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
This is not an honest player. This is not a
rational player.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
This is not a America first player, America first, properly
understood player. This is a corrupt inside who wants to
manipulate the geopolitical situation out there based on his whims
and his favorites. Now I suppose that Jared Kushner was

(21:47):
also involved in some of these meetings that put together.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Twenty eight point piece plan.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
Jared Kushna who Jared Kushner think that has a lot
of interest in the Middle East, and who knows the
players in the Middle East and has done a good
job in them. At least, I don't know if he
knows anything about Russia or anything about Ukraine, and and
certainly I don't think he has the right do political
sense around Ukraine and Russia, or the right moral sense

(22:15):
around Ukraine and Russia.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
And here's another you know, uh, you know.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
And then Trump defends Witkoff and he says, yeah, this
is how you negotiate. You leak some stuff and this
is just negotiation tactics. Yeah, if you want the other side,
if you've chosen the winners of negotiation, you want to
help one of the sides, this is how you negotiate. Now,
of course, the other issue is so so Whitcoff basically

(22:47):
is the man responsible for that phone call that basically
side railed this Olinsky puts Zilinsky Trump meeting in October
and even by talk, I told you Trump is excited
by their life. Person he talks to and Putin hasn't
rupped around his finger, and that every time he talks
to Putin he goes against the Lensky. Well, now it

(23:08):
turns out that Witcuff set it all up. Now the
question is, of course, who leaked these conversations, the conversation
between Witcuff and uh and this uh Whuschakov.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
There's a conversation to Schakov and the and the and
the other Russian. Who's leaking all this.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Some claim that it's some rogue element within the American
NSA who listens to all these conversations. Some say it
was the Russians who leaked it because they want to
embarrass the US. Some say it's some other foreign agents,
maybe the Ukrainians have the ability to listen into Witcoff's phone.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
Calls, or these Raeli's or somebody else what's his name.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Ushakov has Uh is now saying that it's really What's
Up that leaked it. He's saying that the conversation between
him and Wikoff was not done on a secure line,
like a secure communication between countries, but it was actually
done on WhatsApp. And now What's pp by the way,

(24:24):
just as a side, as a funny if you think
it's funny, funny aside, is an app that is banned
in Russia unless you're a senior person within the Russian administration,
and then of course you can use it. Now, if
it really wasn't WhatsApp, how is it intercepted? So either

(24:47):
there's a back door to the app, which of course
Meta denies, and somebody has access to that back door,
or Ushakov's device is infected with spy or Witcuff's device
is affected with spyware, or they somehow somewhere used on

(25:10):
a secured connection and didn't use what's Up. They just
used a regular call and now they're just claiming it
was what's up. Anyway, all of this super intriguing. Who
knows what'll come of it? And uh, yeah, let's see

(25:39):
the dumb Yeah, I mean the confirmation is basically what
we're getting now is confirmation that the points the twenty
eight points or Russian points Russian side of the deal,
and that cough together with the Russians. It makes you

(26:01):
manipulating Trump and that what's happening is that Rubio is
trying to somehow save save a deal, save Ukraine's saved
us from being a completely one sided.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
Capitulation to the Russians.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
So good for Rubio, you know, at least he seems
like he's good for something, not much, but maybe something,
given how bad the Trump administration is. Having somebody like
Rubio inside trying to correct things as they happen, maybe
that's cool. Oh right, Just a note relating Russia to tariffs.

(26:47):
I saw this graft today and it's it's pretty amazing.
Do you know the only country. We've talked about this
in the past, but it's always good to highlight this.
And basically under the heading of what is putin god Trump?
I have no idea, but it's so spooky how pro
putin Trump is not only in negotiations between Ukraine and Russia,

(27:12):
but we're tariffs. The only country in the world basically
has I don't know, basically no tariffs with the United States.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
Is Russia. Zero teriffs.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
Basically the highest tarifts that were China at around forty percent,
and then a bunch of US allies, you know, like
Japan is just under to these effective effective tariff rates
are taking into account all the exclusions and everything. Given
all the goods imported from Japan, the tariff is close
to twenty percent. South Korea it's close to fifteen. Turkey

(27:49):
is colas at fifteen, Germany's coast at the fifteen. Brazil
is not closer to ten, Italy is close to the ten,
India is just under ten, EU is under ten, France
under ten, Australia closer to five, UK closer the five,
Mexico closer the five, Argentina closer to five. But you
can see Japan and ally particularly Visavi, China, South Korea

(28:10):
and ally particularly Visavi China, Germany, Italy, you know, NATO members, Yeah, Hi, Caraffs, Russia, Nada.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
Zero.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
So I'll ask again, what does Putin have on Trump?
I don't know, I really don't know, and I don't
know if he has anything.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
It could just be that Trump just loves the guy.
He just loves the guy. Myna is, the guy loves
the guy. And a lot of people around Trump love
Putin and love the guy, admire the guy and all
of that. So they have it all right.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
Today uh uh, Today, the United Kingdom's UK government, the
Labor government, have finally released the long anticipated budget. People

(29:20):
have long anticipated this. I mean the UK is in
in deep economic problems. It has it really is struggling
economically in sos of economic growth. It's got a massive
budget deficit.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
Uh you know, what do you call it?

Speaker 3 (29:35):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (29:36):
A debt is going up up up up up up up.
And yeah, I mean the UK is is is struggling,
is really struggling, and.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
So a lot of people, you know, and and one
of the things that the Labor Party came in coming
now the UK is already in deep trouble before the
Labor Party came in. Labor Party came in and said,
we're going to clean house. We're gonna fix this, We're
going to get it all in shape, we're gonna get
it right. So today's budget was an indication of their

(30:15):
first real, big budget and you.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
Know, how are they going to do this?

Speaker 2 (30:20):
And of course what Labor's doing is what politicians in
the West have been doing now for a long time.
I mean, there are a few exceptions we can talk about,
like Sweden and Canada of all countries, but basically politicians

(30:40):
in the West, particularly in America and the UK and
now fans basically.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
You know, have the view.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
In Japan, Japan, they cannot cut spending. Spending a second one.
You can't cut it, you can't touch it, you can't reduce.
We talked about Doge and how horrific of a failure
Doge was. They they they made cutting spending a dirty
would you know, given how.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
Pathetic the efforts were. So you can't get spending and
therefore you now in America, you can't get spending and
you have to cut taxes.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
So deficits just just grow and grow and grow. You
keep cutting cutting taxes and getting less revenue and spending
just goes out of control.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
And and that's what we got. And in the UK
at least they won't cut spending. That'll increase spinning.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
But they at least are trying to close the deficit.
They're at least trying by raising taxes. But of course
they can't raise taxes on the middle class where most
of the income is, where if you want to make
a dent you have to tax. They they create many, many,
many different types of little taxes to try to, you know,

(32:08):
somehow bring in more revenue or try to bring in
some revenue. It really is quite astounding. So today they announced,
for example, do you as a sugar tax. This is
they love these taxes, right, they love taxes that have
a paternalistic aim. Oh, we're just trying to get you

(32:29):
to drink less sugar. It's good for you to drink
less sugar. And by the way, we'll raise some revenue
at the same time. Well, they're expanding the sugar tax.
This is gonna be huge. This is gonna have such
a huge impact on the deficit, on a paying back
the debt. They're gonna now add milkshakes, coffee drinks and

(32:51):
milk some milk substitutes. They're all gonna also have a
sugar tax. I mean, that's huge, right, That is definitely
going to it is definitely going to bring in a
lot of revenue. Those milkshakes, God, those milkshakes are really

(33:15):
going to do it. Now, that's just one example of
them tinkering. But generally they're increased taxes. They're increasing taxes.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
They've also what they've done you see one of the
ways you increase taxes.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
As you know, we have a progressive tax system, and
so a certain range of income pays a particular percentage
and as you go up in income, the.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
Percentage that you pay increases.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
Now a lot of times these ranges attag to inflation.
So as inflation goes up, and as you get a
raise based on inflation just to keep you where you
were before, well the range goes up with you, so
you don't pay more taxes. Well, the UK is doing
away with that, so the ranges are going to be
frozen until twenty thirty one. So if the UK has

(34:12):
inflation and now the government has a clear incentive to inflate,
then your wages will go up to mans inflation and
you will keep getting bumped up to a new tax
backet and pay higher and higher and higher taxes as
inflation goes higher and as your wages go up. So

(34:35):
that's one way in which everybody, everybody is going to
pay more taxes. If you drive an electric vehicle, there's
going to be a new tax on that, right, there's
going to be a tax on.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
A threepenny per mile.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
How they're going to figure out how many miles you drive,
I don't know, but there's a three penny for electric
car drivers. Plug in hybrids only have one point five penny.
I'm not sure why that is.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
And there's gonna be new road.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
Pricing where you're gonna there's going to be they're going
to charge you by the roads you use, by how
much you drive, so you're gonna pay more there. There's
a significant increase in the minimum wages across I mean,
the UK has a convoluted multi system of minimum wages,

(35:32):
all of them are going up. That will increase unemployment
among the people who are least able at least able
to deal with unemployment. It raised costs for businesses, but
minimum wages are going up across the board. Homeowners property

(35:55):
taxes on the rich the rich. If you have a
home value to more than two million pounds, property taxes
going up, you're gonna be paying more. Energy bills are
gonna fall, even though because I mean, UK has I
think the highest energy costs maybe in the world, they're

(36:18):
gonna push them down. I don't know where they're gonna
get the funding to do that. How that's gonna work,
don't know. Train fares are going to be capped. They're
frozen until March twenty twenty seven. So much for the
privatized real system in the UK. Saving accounts, tax fee
are going to be restricted, more restricted th they are

(36:40):
right now.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
And so on.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
In other words, it's a it's a you know, bigger families,
they're gonna get more money. This is part of the
the idea of trying to get people that have more babies.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
Uh and uh you know. Yeah, this is like these.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
Piecemeal things that that I'm gonna have no economic effect,
but it makes people feel like maybe the guvernment's doing something,
maybe maybe there's activity, maybe there's.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
Doing something to help me. But no, they're not doing
anything to help you at all at all. There's nothing
going on here that has anything to do with help
UK budget a complete disaster mess spending going up. Taxes

(37:35):
are like tinking tinkuing. I mean, this is a labor
apartment that was going to come in and change everything.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
I think the best way to describe it is it's
just pathetic, just absolutely pathetic.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
All Right. We have talked quite a bit about Taiwan.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
We've talked about Japan, Taiwan, China, the conflict there, What
could it couldn't happen about whether the American would come
in and help. The Japanese are clearly interested in helping
and see. An attack on Taiwan is an attack on Japan,
and Japan is definitely sending all the signals to China

(38:16):
that it would intervene on Taiwan's side. Whether the United
States would rein them in under Trump or not is
not clear. Whether the United States would join Japan again
not clear. In the meantime, Taiwan intends to pull forty
billion dollars into defense to try to deter China. The
idea is to make any attack by China on Taiwan

(38:39):
just too costly to attempt.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
They're going to be buying, trying to buy, at least.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
Hopefully the Americans will sell them faster missiles, many more drones,
and you know he heavy buys from from the US,
but also bolstering the local producers of various types of
weapons systems. They just want to get to a position,

(39:09):
and this is exactly what Taiwan needs to do, exactly
what it must do. They need to get into position
where they are just too strong for China to try it. Right,
China would probably win in the end, if particularly for
America didn't show up.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
China would definitely win. Right, if it was willing to
take the casualties, willing to suffer the cost, stick with
it for a long campaign, they would win. They're just
too big, right. But if the Taiwanese can build up
a military that would just make the Chinese bleed, cost

(39:46):
them enormously in both money, treasure, but also in lives,
then war could probably be avoided.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
In that China just would never engage in it. The
last thing she wants is what's happening with Russia. He
does not, he cannot, he cannot afford the you know,
to be to send a body bags of hundreds of
thousands of Chinese back to China. So yes, Taiwan shid

(40:19):
aar itself to the teeth. I mean, I wish somebody
would give it a nuke that would solve the problem.
But sort of a nuke, sell them, sell them any
weapon sys they want, the most advanced defensive because that's
all Taiwan needs is defensive weapons systems, asymmetric warfare, missiles,
anti anti defenses.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
Anything they need ramp up in Taiwan.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
So it's good to see the Taiwan he's taking their
defense seriously and being willing to put some money behind it.

Speaker 1 (40:54):
All right, let's shift gears, big gearshifts. All right.

Speaker 2 (41:01):
You know, I've talked about this a number of times
over the years that in Israel there is a draft,
this conscription, which I'm against.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
Of course I'm a full volunteer on me.

Speaker 2 (41:14):
But if you have conscription, there is absolutely no justification
to exclude some people and to give them this massive
benefit over others. You know, equal rights demands that you
really called you before, the law demands that you chieve
people the same. And in Israel has this massive exclusion.
It has a draft for almost everybody except if you're

(41:46):
an ultra Orthodox Jew. If you're an ultra Orthodox Jew,
you don't need to serve in the military. Now, these
ready Supreme Court is now ruled that that is unacceptable
and its demanded. Governments start calling up the Auto Orthodox.
And there's a massive political battle going on right now

(42:06):
in Israel. You know, Natanio's government depends on the Alto
Orthodox to exist. It would fall if not for the
Alto Orthodox. The Orthodox are demanding that their people be
excluded from military service. Everybody else in Israel. The entire
Israeli population wants them to be included. Particularly after October seventh.

(42:30):
Secular Israelis feel like the entire burden.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
Of protecting Israel has fallen on them and that these
religious ultra Orthodox Jews they don't participate, they have nothing.
The only other portion of these arly populations exempted from
the draft are Arabs Muslims, but also Christian Arabs.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
From the draft as well. Some volunteer, minority volunteer, but
they are exempted. So the question is, you know, why
are these ulto Orthodoxy Jews exempt? And again the entire
secular population is like, they should fight for their own,

(43:21):
you know, freedom. We know exactly what Ramas would do
to them. If Ramas gained the upper hand, it would
kill them. And you've got secular Jews basically defend these
religious nuts.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
Anyway, this.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
This last week, this week a representative of the ultra Orthodox,
you said Friedman, who's an editor of a of a newspaper,
an ulto Orthodox newspaper, did an interview and he was asked,
why don't the aulto Orthodox serve the idea?

Speaker 1 (44:02):
And this is his answer.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
Those who save the states are those who learn the Torah.
So someone who harms Torah learners harms state security. He says, mathematically,
what is incorrect about that we are preserving the Jewish people,

(44:26):
and in this matter are preserving the Jewish people. There
is no equality of burden, only we contribute. In other words,
studying the too and praying to God is what actually
stopped from us.

Speaker 1 (44:46):
Studying the tour and praying to God is what actually
saves Israel and the Jews. Studying the top and praying
to God is the only thing that matters, the only
thing that matters in the preservation of the Jewish people.
He is arguing.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
Now, this is barbaric mystical nuttiness. These people are crazy.
They live in a fantasy land of mysticism of God's
constant presence. He literally says, that fighting in Gaza, in Lebanon,

(45:30):
in Iran doesn't count. Quote, that's not preserving the Jewish people,
that's preserving the Israeli people.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
So he doesn't count himself as an Israeli. So Fietman
thinks iety f is pointless. Well not quite, because he
lives in Israel and he knows the security depends on it.
He says, if the aeshievas this is the schools where
they study, the tour don't study. The tanks won't start,
the planes won't take off. Literally, God will not allow

(46:03):
the tanks to turn on. God will stop the planes
from flying. This is how barbaric and nutty and crazy
and evil these people are.

Speaker 2 (46:17):
I mean, talk about evasion, he says, Quote, the army
has never won because of the number of soldiers.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
At West Point. They study wars from around the whole world,
but not Israel's wars.

Speaker 2 (46:36):
You know why, because the rules of war don't apply here.
There's no logic here, because God intervenes.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
God interviews. Now that's bs, of course, they study Israel's wars.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
But what about the fact that Israel is missing about
ten to twelve thousand soldiers that it needs right now,
you know, to defend itself. His solution is, no, well,
we actually lack as learners. We need to increase study
in the Sheva even more, and then fifteen elderly.

Speaker 1 (47:11):
Soldiers will win all these wards. You don't need. You
don't need thousands, you need fifteen.

Speaker 2 (47:15):
And they can beat all of Ramas and all and
all of you on just with fifteen, because God will
be on their side.

Speaker 1 (47:23):
And he says, I believe this with complete faith.

Speaker 3 (47:37):
I mean.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
It's it really is unbelievable. I mean, how primitive and
barbaric these people really are. They really do believe this,
you know, I think they are. If they don't want to,

(48:03):
I mean, they should or should carve out a country
just for them, maybe in the middle of the West
Bank or maybe and even give them a portion of
Gaza and they can live in this country and they
can just pray and see what happens, and there's ready
military should stay out of it, and or they should

(48:30):
sleeve leave the state of Israel. I mean, these are
people who who are a stain on the nation of Israel.
They I mean, just to think of the soldiers were

(48:51):
fighting now the fight. The soldiers aren't fighting for them,
but there the massive beneficiaries of those soldiers, the worst,
the free writers. They spit in the shows.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
Just face right, and this guy does not care, does
not care.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
And I really believe these rarely so just to stop
defending them, stop protecting literally, take their neighborhoods and put
them right smack in the middle of Gaza and let
them pray.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
Let them pray hard, pray all day and all night.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
This is the worst kind of primitivism and barbarism and mysticism.

Speaker 1 (49:44):
That one can imagine.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
And these people are stuck in some ancient primitive I mean,
this is not even the Israel of the Bible. The
Israel of the Bible fights. They don't allow God to
save them. They fight, don't always win, they lose often.
Now then they blame it God, God punish system by losing.

(50:09):
But this isn't the Old Testament. But this is those
guys in black who we're black. This is what they believe,
they claim that you know, this is this is what

(50:31):
you know. This is what they're instructed to do by
the rabbis and by by the leaders. This is what
they're instructed to do by you.

Speaker 1 (50:42):
Know, the greatest scholars of Jewish learning today in the world.
It really is disgusting. It's more to dodger draft if
you're doing it for the right cause. This ain't it. This,
This is not mall. This is despicable.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
And you can say it has no foundation in Jewish religion.
But I'm not an authority and Jewish religion who neither
is anybody else in this chat. But this is this
is the evil of religion, the evil of mysticism, and
Jews are just as guilty as anybody.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
Else's oh of that kind of evil. So nuts.

Speaker 2 (51:29):
People say, I don't, I don't go you know, I don't.
I don't go after religious nuts on the Jewish side.

Speaker 1 (51:37):
That's not true. This is one of many examples where
I have.

Speaker 3 (51:49):
A right.

Speaker 2 (51:50):
You want to dodge a draft, fine, if you dodge
a draft for the right reason, But that is not
the right reason.

Speaker 1 (51:58):
That is not the right reason.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
And they believe this. This is not them just coming
up with an excuse. They believe this, all right. I
see very very very very very few super chat questions.

Speaker 1 (52:19):
It worries me.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
We're nowhere near the first hour goal, and we're approaching
the end of the first hour, and we're going into
the second hour, and God if this has them out
of super Chat, we're in trouble.

Speaker 1 (52:32):
The show's in trouble, so.

Speaker 2 (52:34):
Please consider supporting the show with a sticker or super
chat or something. If you want to ask a question,
please ask questions, particularly the twenty and fifty dollars. Questions
are valued and respected and right now needed to even
achieve a fraction of the goal which we need to

(52:54):
get to. So yeah, feel free to jump in with questions,
particularly if you do the twenty fifty. If you don't
want to ask a question, just do a sticker, as
Nawu and Z four hundred race have done and anybody else.

Speaker 1 (53:09):
If you value, if you value the show, if you
value what I do, what I say, if you listen
to the show, I assume you're getting some value out
of it, or so value for value by jumping in
with a question or with a with a sticker. Thank you,

(53:30):
timbers Kid. Let's see Tucker Carlson is Oops, there we go?

Speaker 2 (53:40):
Is Tuco only getting nutet of yet? If that's possible, well,
I don't know that you get Natty of the demons.
It makes him as nutty as these alto orthodox Jews.

Speaker 1 (53:54):
Crazy. Anyway, I thought i'd show you a couple of
videos from Taco just to give you an update on
Taka Nuts, Tucker Crazy tucka insanity.

Speaker 2 (54:07):
Tucker has been saying lately, He's me saying, lately, enough
with the talk about Israel, enough with talk about Jews.

Speaker 1 (54:17):
I've had it. I don't care about Israel at all.
I just don't care, and I don't care about the Jews.

Speaker 2 (54:26):
So this is the video he posted after saying he
doesn't want to talk about Israel. Animal doesn't want to
talk about Jews. Animo doesn't want any of this anymore.
Here's the video.

Speaker 3 (54:36):
There's a message jamet. Christians, who are the largest group
of Israel supporters in the United States, and their view
of Israel is colored not just by sentimental attachment, which
is fine, or trips to Israel great, no problem, but
by a Christian heresy, the oldest of the Christian heresies,
which is that God somehow prefers some people based on

(54:59):
their DNA.

Speaker 1 (55:01):
So the whole So, even if you.

Speaker 2 (55:05):
Buy into the biblical story of as many Christians I
guess do, that God has you know, the Jews of
the chosen people, that God has chosen them, there's nothing
about that about DNA in that it is interesting that
this is how Tucker thinks in racist racial terms. What

(55:29):
differentiation Jews is not DNA many converts, not many, but
the converts to Judaism is possible if you commit to
the ideas of Judaism. Don't I don't recommend it, but
if you wanted to converte, you could convote. As long
as you commit to the.

Speaker 1 (55:46):
Ideas of Judaism, to the practices of Judaism, to the
religion of Judaism, there's nothing to do with DNA.

Speaker 2 (55:56):
Has everything to do with that commitment to those ideas
and those practices, as irrational as they are.

Speaker 1 (56:06):
But to teck up, he can only think in terms
of DNA.

Speaker 2 (56:10):
And of course he is not going to miss an
opportunity to both attack Israel and attack Jews, and attack
the Christians who support the Jews, because some Christians believe
the Christianity did not come about to replace the Jews,
as the early Church fathers absolutely did believe, but to.

Speaker 1 (56:34):
Be a religion side.

Speaker 2 (56:35):
By side with the Jews, and the Jews would have
to make a choice in the end by the way
to become to Christian or not. You know, when the
day of reckoning comes, but in the meantime they are
the chosen people and they should be treated with suspect
as the chosen people. Taka is here articulating the old

(57:00):
church Father's doctrine, which basically says Christianity is here to
replace the Jews, and the Christians are now, in a sense,
the chosen people.

Speaker 1 (57:10):
Christianity's universal.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
Anybody can be a Christian very easily and very quickly
baptism and stuff. It doesn't require a difficult process.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
Like the Jews require.

Speaker 2 (57:25):
And so still believe that the Jews are chosen people
is a heresy according to Tucker. Tucker is going old
school Christian here. Now the Moments think they're the chosen people.
And let me tell you, the Muslims definitely think they're
the chosen people. And again it's based on ideology, not

(57:48):
based on DNA. But Tucker's obsessed with DNA. We'll see
in the next video is obsession a little bit obsession
with DNA.

Speaker 3 (57:55):
And of course the whole point of Christianity is that
that is no longer true that there is no chosen people.
The chosen people are people who choose Jesus. That is
the Christian message right there. It's not an anti Semitic message,
by the way, it just.

Speaker 2 (58:09):
Has implications about the Jews, right, because the Jews don't
see Jesus, won't come to Jesus, they're no longer chosen.

Speaker 1 (58:18):
And indeed they really, uh.

Speaker 2 (58:23):
You know, they have turned it back to Jesus because
they were they saw Jesus. They confronted Jesus, and the
Jews today a confronted with Christianity, and they choose not
to base it. They choose to base a more primitive,
older religion. And because of that, they are evil and bad.
I mean, that's Augustine, that's Amvos, that's the fathers of

(58:46):
the Church.

Speaker 1 (58:47):
The fathers of the Church will leave. The Jews as
a people were evil and bad because they didn't choose Jesus,
because they didn't recognize Jesus as the Messiah. And as
a consequence, they should be.

Speaker 2 (59:01):
Penalized, foot they should be treated badly, they should be humiliated,
they should live very difficult, hard, oppressive, oppressed lives, and
that will remind Christians of this is what happens when
you don't come to Jesus. So it's not anti Semitic,

(59:25):
but it's the foundation of all anti Semitism. All anti
Semitism is founded in this notion of the Jews not finding,
not recognizing, not coming to Jesus, and therefore they should suffer.

Speaker 3 (59:42):
It's the Christian message, It's the core Christian message. And
yet there are many, many self described representatives of the
Christian faith, the world's largest, who are daily sending a
different message.

Speaker 1 (59:56):
Now, notice they have massive disagreements among the Christians. Massive
I mean the number of denominations of Christianity in the
United States, unbelievable number, right, And then Catholics, and then
different types of Catholics who disagree with one another, even
disagree with the pope. But the one he focuses on,
the one he focuses on constantly, is about the Jews.

(01:00:23):
It's a little obsession for Tuck, isn't it. You'd think
he was, I don't know, anti Semitic or something.

Speaker 3 (01:00:29):
And we should be very clear. Whatever this is, it's
not Christianity. It is heresy.

Speaker 1 (01:00:33):
What's the messaging, all right?

Speaker 2 (01:00:35):
So the Christians who support Israel or no whiter than that,
the Christians who believe that the Jews are chosen people
until at least the day of Reckoning, are committee heresy.
I wonder what Techan thinks the penalty for heresy should be.
I mean, should he go by the church fathers? Who

(01:00:58):
is he going.

Speaker 1 (01:00:58):
To modernize as approach? You know? Curious? I have no
idea what he thinks the penalty for hevis he should be.

Speaker 2 (01:01:05):
All right, let's watch another Tucko video. Win of all,
we'll taka. This one is about Russia. And here's great
respect and admiration for Russia. This is only twenty one
seconds long.

Speaker 1 (01:01:15):
This is good. Here's uh, here's tuka on on Russia
and Russia and the lesson from World War Two.

Speaker 3 (01:01:28):
My main instinct is that the lesson of World War
Two for some people was white Christian countries were a
threat to the war.

Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
So the lesson of World War two for I guess
a lot of people is that white Christian nations are
threat to the world. And I'm trying to think of
one person who believes that, Like, who are the white
Christian nations who are a threat to the world.

Speaker 1 (01:01:54):
Wait a minute, the Germans, the Italians? If Italian's council white.

Speaker 2 (01:02:05):
How is that the lesson of World War two? Somebody
explain this to me. The lesson of World War two.
Some people think he says, like Tucker, this is not
Tucker's lesson. This is some people think this is the lesson.
White Christian nations are threat to the world. I don't

(01:02:25):
know anybody who thinks that, not a literally nobody.

Speaker 1 (01:02:33):
So world not more consensus.

Speaker 2 (01:02:38):
Yes, and that's just yeah, that's he says, that's one
hundred percent consensus. He just said, that is one hundred
percent concessus. Who are the white Christian countries in World
War two fighting whom?

Speaker 1 (01:02:54):
I just don't It's it's an interesting interpretation of history,
not a fact actually at all. That's why they hate Russia.

Speaker 3 (01:03:03):
That's probably gonna be the only majority of white Christian
country in the world.

Speaker 2 (01:03:06):
So they hate Russia because it's the only majority white
Christian country in the world. Soon, because of demographics, Russia
is going to be the only white Christian country in
the world. Now, this is not only the reason. This
has nothing to do with the reason people hate Russia.

(01:03:28):
Maybe it has to do with the fact that Russia
started a war. Maybe it has to do with the
fact of Russia is an oppressive, oppressive society. Maybe it
has to do with the fact that it's run by
a murderous dictator. Maybe it has to do with the
Soviet Union and the subjugation of you know, hundreds of

(01:03:48):
millions of Europeans. Maybe it has to do with the Ghulas.
There are lots of reasons they hate Russia. I've never
heard of anybody say they hate Russia because they're white
Christian country.

Speaker 1 (01:03:59):
But I gear that they you know, let's hear this
soon all the way, and they hate it. That is
why they hate it. By the way, let's just stop
lying about it. That's why they hate it.

Speaker 2 (01:04:09):
Mean, so they hate Russia because it's going to be
the only white Christian nation left soon.

Speaker 1 (01:04:21):
Now that is factually just stupid.

Speaker 2 (01:04:23):
Even if you you know, could figure out what white means.
Russia's fifteen percent Muslim. I don't know what percent Asian
I eat, not white, like most of Russia is in Asia,
not in Europe. There's a lot of Russian population in

(01:04:47):
the Caucuses in you know, off the board of Kazakhstan,
in Eastern Russia who are not technically whatever the hell
that means, white, whatever the hell that means. So it's
fifteen percent Muslim, and then I don't know what percentage
more than fifteen percent would be on my guess, non white.

Speaker 1 (01:05:11):
Now, what is the country that's more white than Russia.
I don't know. Ukraine.

Speaker 2 (01:05:21):
Ukraine is probably more pure again whatever this means, Poland
is probably more Christian and more more white. I mean
very few people go to church in Russia. Very few people.
Oh somebody is just Sweden and Norway, but they're not Christian,

(01:05:41):
like they don't. Religion is not a big thing in
Sweden nor in Iceland. They're white, they really are white,
whiter than me, but they're not.

Speaker 1 (01:05:49):
They're not Christian.

Speaker 2 (01:05:50):
But Poland Christian, and Russia is not particularly Christian except
for Putin.

Speaker 1 (01:06:02):
I mean, the guy's nuts. Disgusting racist, despicable racist. The
whole world hates white people. That's what drives Tucker. Saving
white people. They need a savior. Him and Donald Trump

(01:06:25):
saving white South Africans. That is the mission.

Speaker 2 (01:06:30):
It's so freaky and spooky and weird and disgusting and yeah,
not good, not good stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:06:38):
All right. I will another call for for for super
chet questions.

Speaker 2 (01:06:42):
We're still one hundred dollars short of our first hour,
and we're into the second hour, so we're three hundred
and fifty dollars short of our second hour goal.

Speaker 1 (01:06:51):
That's what's up there, guys, three hundred and fifty.

Speaker 2 (01:06:55):
I don't know you guys are saving up money to
buy Christmas presents or something thing.

Speaker 1 (01:07:01):
Trade You gotta trade, remember, all right, hmm, the story escaped.

Speaker 2 (01:07:12):
I'm gonna just give you this tweet. I think it's
a it's it's a it's a funny tweet.

Speaker 1 (01:07:16):
Uh. And I think it's it's pretty good.

Speaker 2 (01:07:20):
Uh. And then and then we'll go to the final story,
which is about about having kids. Part of my effort
to have broader stories at the end of the show,
deeper meaning, relating to meaning, relating to purpose, relating to
some of the big topics we're going to be talking
about in the months years to come. David Deutsch writes

(01:07:42):
on Twitter is really teenagers who are, if anything, more online.

Speaker 1 (01:07:48):
Than Americans are.

Speaker 2 (01:07:50):
Are a devastating counter example to this dismal, mechanistic, anti
human view of humans, which is Jonathan Haate's view, which
you see it all the time. Though it's destroying people
is technology. What's destroying kids is the iPhone. And the

(01:08:14):
reality is that Israelis are more connected. But you know,
when the time came to defend themselves to put on
a uniform and take a gun and go out there
and fight for their freedom. Those hyper connected iPhone obsessed

(01:08:34):
Israeli's did it, and they did it courageously and heroically
and amazingly. And this view we constantly hear now hop
constantly buy Jonathan hat and a bunch of other people.
And Jonathan Asa has done some good work on a

(01:08:56):
bunch of Definiians, when on this one it's just awful.

Speaker 1 (01:09:00):
It's the iPhone. iPhone is killing our teens, It's destroying
the human mind. No, you know, this is the evil.
The evil is technology.

Speaker 2 (01:09:08):
That's why people are depressed, That's why nothing's getting done.

Speaker 1 (01:09:18):
Well. Israeli's account example. But I agree with David Deutsch.
Here we go. It's a devastating counter example to this.
Like I love this part. This dismal, mechanistic, anti human
view of humans. That's perfect, that's perfect. Good for David Deutsch.

Speaker 2 (01:09:37):
All right, finally I saw this, uh uh a headline.
This is a paper from the Institute for Family Studies.
Institute for Family Studies, Right, they have looked into polling
numbers on people having kids, who's having kids and who's not,

(01:09:59):
who's having it's and who is not.

Speaker 1 (01:10:04):
And it turns out it turns out that the problem
of declining birth rates is a problem among liberals.

Speaker 2 (01:10:21):
Among the left, it's people who stuff identifies liberal or
left of center who dominate the you know, the the
the the.

Speaker 1 (01:10:35):
The issue of childbirth.

Speaker 2 (01:10:38):
Uh, it turns out the marriage is more resilient among conservatives.
Conservatives stick it out, so percent that have ever been
married is significantly higher. So conservatives get married at a
significant higher rate than liberals.

Speaker 1 (01:10:58):
Now it's it's declining.

Speaker 2 (01:11:01):
You know, it's gone from seventy four percent of conservative
men in the nineteen eighties to fifty seven percent of
conservative men in the twenty twenties. But on the left,
on liberals, how they define it, it's gone from sixty
one percent to thirty five percent. So conservative men, liberal
men are not getting married. Liberal women, it was eighty

(01:11:21):
three percent among conservatives getting married have ever been married.
I've gone down to sixty percent among conservative women. So
still a majority of conservative women are going to be married.
But among the liberals, it's gone from seventy five to
forty four percent. Forty four percent of young women have
never been married. This is, by the way, all of

(01:11:43):
these stats are for twenty five to thirty five year olds,
and the question is have you ever been married? Based
on ideology, and a majority of conservatives have been married
by the age of thirty five, and a majority of
liber have not been married by the age of thirty five.

(01:12:04):
And then if you look at having kids again, same
age group, twenty five to thirty five, are you having
you know, have you had a kid? A percent that
have had a child among conservatives that has declined from
fifty nine percent of forty seven percent, but forty seven
percent of conservative men between ages twenty five to thirty

(01:12:27):
five have had a kid. Women, it's sixty five and
it's gone up. More conservative women are having kids now
than in the past between twenty five and thirty five
percent has gone up to seventy one percent. Obviously, marrying
older men, significantly older men and having kids with them

(01:12:49):
because the men are not having kids but the women
are doesn't really work that way. Among liberals, it's gone
from forty seven percent in the eighties to twenty two
percent today among men, and from sixty percent in the
eighties to forty percent.

Speaker 1 (01:13:08):
Today.

Speaker 2 (01:13:10):
In other words, the entire crisis of childbirth is a
phenomena of the left. And part of the challenge with
that is the number of women who are on the
left is increasing. So it used to be thirty one

(01:13:34):
percent of women were liberal, now it's thirty six percent.
Among among men, it's pretty much flat, thirty thirty two percent.

Speaker 1 (01:13:56):
So I don't know if that's true, but that was confusing.

Speaker 2 (01:14:02):
And then, of course, if you look at birth rates,
the ten states with the largest Trump margins, the Trump one,
their birth rate has declined by about ten eleven percent
actually from two thousand and one.

Speaker 1 (01:14:20):
They're shifting parameters. But in blue states states that.

Speaker 2 (01:14:27):
Harris one of the biggest margins, their birth rates have
declined by twenty five percent. Blue states are seeing a
falling child population. Red states are seeing and increasing. Again,
we're talking about just the most extreme right. So the
the what was it the ten states with the largest

(01:14:47):
Trump or Harris majorities?

Speaker 1 (01:14:50):
So why is this what causes this?

Speaker 2 (01:14:56):
Well, the reality is that, you know, conservatives, religionists generally
view having children as a duty. They view having children
as something that is part of a tradition, that's part
of a religious duty, it's an essential part of life,

(01:15:19):
and you know, is a must. The left, on the
other hand, people of left orientation, if you will, view
having children as an option, an option to be weighed
against everything else that life has to offer. So, for example,

(01:15:42):
among you know, among self identified liberals, women for example,
are much more concerned about career. And among turning point USA,
young adults are going to say, you know, having children
is more important than having a good career. That's the

(01:16:04):
thing that matters the most. So, you know, this is
an issue of values. It's an issue of values, and.

Speaker 1 (01:16:16):
We're going through a period over the.

Speaker 2 (01:16:18):
Last twenty really forty years, probably where the opportunities that
women have in the workforce, in education, in life are
dramatically greater than they've ever had in all of human history.
Men have always had opportunities, and those opportunities have increased

(01:16:38):
with wealth and increased with the quality of life stand
and living in America. But women have gone from a
position of having very few opportunities to having almost, if
not exactly, the same opportunities men have.

Speaker 1 (01:16:52):
That's a shock to the system.

Speaker 2 (01:16:56):
It's a shock to the society, the culture, the people
in the culture, and it's a shock to women and
a shock to men. Men don't know how to deal
with women who now have careers and have self esteem
and have you know, have a life that they want
to live and can live without being in the kitchen

(01:17:16):
and taking care of their husband. And that's a shock
to men. They don't know how to deal with that.
And then but it's also shocked to women. Women need
to figure out what is their value hierarchy, where the
kids fit, how to deal with this changing value hicky

(01:17:36):
because now values that they didn't they couldn't achieve in
the past suddenly can be achieved, like career, like wealth,
and it's you know, And then they have to figure
out how do you balance remember this life work balance
and and how do you you know? The women have

(01:17:58):
this idea, this thing that is imposed on them.

Speaker 1 (01:18:01):
Can you have it all?

Speaker 2 (01:18:03):
Can you have a career and children? Like men never
had to deal with that. Nobody ever asked the question
to man, can you have a career and children? Nobody
has that question? So women and I put in this box,
you have to choose one or the other. And right now,

(01:18:25):
particularly among young women, it's like, WHOA, all these opportunities exist.
I'm going to go for the opportunities and we'll see
about children later. And maybe I won't have children and
suddenly I want to have children later because I want
to I want to live, try out all these new

(01:18:48):
things that are now available to me that would available
in the past. And that's super exciting for them, threatening
for you in cells and what is it men going
their own way.

Speaker 1 (01:19:06):
Something like that. Yeah, it must be really challenging for
all of you.

Speaker 2 (01:19:14):
But it's challenging for the women too because I think
many of them, many of them want to have kids,
and ultimately in life will want to have kids. And
I think it's rational for them to want to have kids.
Not for everybody, but I think more will want to
have kids. But they have a biological clock. They can

(01:19:35):
only have kids up to a certain age, and they
have other priorities for the first time in human history.
And this is true in America, it's true in South Korea,
it's true in Japan, it's true every way. Women suddenly
have opportunities, and the top of their list is not
having kids, and indeed the top of the list is
not getting married because suddenly they have these other opportunities. Now,

(01:20:06):
I think a healthy, a healthy, successful life can involve
having kids, but can also involve not having kids. There
is no one way.

Speaker 1 (01:20:22):
Kids are not a universal value.

Speaker 2 (01:20:27):
They're not a value to everybody, And as a consequence,
some people will always choose not to have kids if
they are granted that option. The sexual revolution plus the
increase in options for women have given people the option,
which is great. But I think over time most women

(01:20:48):
will want to have kids, even once they figure out
how to handle it all. And there's no reason they
can't have it all. There's no reason men can't help
more with child raise, and there's no reason as we
get richer that people can't have take kid takers and
schools and all the other things that will make it

(01:21:11):
possible for two people to work and to have kids
and to have it all and have them all as values.
But this is something people are going to have to
work out and to expect then not to be a

(01:21:31):
kind of cultural shift as a consequence of the of
the expanding role of women is to is to you know,
think that it's uh, I don't know that. Of course,
you're going to have a change in attitude to his
childbirth and towards marriage.

Speaker 1 (01:21:53):
As you increase the opportunities for women.

Speaker 2 (01:21:58):
Now, I know any conservatives, many of you listening maybe
would like to see those opportunities shrunk. I mean, Matt
Walsh would like to see women go back to the kitchen,
to the home, full time job in the home and
in the kitchen and rearing children.

Speaker 1 (01:22:15):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (01:22:18):
And indeed, what's the term tran trand wives? Traditional wives, tradwives, tradwives,
tradwives are really in in the Nick Fouantis crowd.

Speaker 1 (01:22:32):
Orthough.

Speaker 2 (01:22:32):
Nick Frantis claims to be a virgin and can't even
imagine having sex with a woman because a woman, I mean,
that's a lowly a lowly being, that's a that's way
beneath him. Why would he have sex with a woman
that's way beneath anything he would do. He claims he's
a virgin because he's a Catholic, But I mean, good

(01:22:55):
for the world that he's a virgin. I think that's
that's definitely definitely a positive.

Speaker 1 (01:23:04):
But you know, having children can be and for many
people is a huge part of life.

Speaker 2 (01:23:14):
For some people, it becomes raising those children becomes the
really in a sense, productive career, and that's a legitimate,
productive career. For others, they manage to have children and
have another career, and that's legitimate. Other people don't have

(01:23:35):
children and in some families the men do much more
of the childhooing than they have historically, and that works.
I mean, the beauty of having opportunities and the beauty
of recognizing that the essential characteristic of human beings is

(01:23:59):
as rational animals thinking beings is that that opens up
a whole variety of options and opportunities. There's no one
traditional way of living. Somebody asks, can one be happy
if one does.

Speaker 1 (01:24:19):
Not have kids?

Speaker 2 (01:24:20):
Absolutely? Absolutely, Some of the happiest people I know do
not have kids. I mean, there are days in which
if you ask parents whether you can be happy having
kids is put into question. But happiness does not depend
on any particular act in life. It depends on, you know,

(01:24:47):
sustaining a character.

Speaker 1 (01:24:50):
A character.

Speaker 2 (01:24:52):
It depends on having moral values and living up to them.
Does not depend on pursuing any i particular values in
life beyond those universal abstract values. And having children is
not a universal value. So you know, gay people can

(01:25:19):
be happy and not have children. Heterosexual people can be
happy and not have children. People can be happy and
not get married. Although marriage is a huge value, not
for everybody and not on all circumstances.

Speaker 1 (01:25:33):
And one of the things that.

Speaker 2 (01:25:35):
I learned from objectivism, I think correctly, But you know,
you guys, judge, it's just because something has been practiced
forever doesn't mean it's right.

Speaker 1 (01:25:46):
You've got a question, you've got a challenge.

Speaker 2 (01:25:50):
And the reality is again, the role of women has
really really changed, and as a consequence, a lot of
how families compose, how families function, the decisions families take,
the role of marriage and human life, all of that

(01:26:11):
needs to be questioned and reoriented towards the world.

Speaker 1 (01:26:17):
Of rational beings with immense opportunities before them.

Speaker 2 (01:26:29):
I'm going to read this, John says, from biological and
evolutionary perspective, not wanting to have kids seems wacky. Having
kids is the only thing all our ancestors have in common.

Speaker 1 (01:26:39):
Not true.

Speaker 2 (01:26:40):
Many of by ancestors didn't have kids. The line has disappeared.
They didn't have kids. A lot of people in history
didn't have.

Speaker 1 (01:26:49):
Children, and some people had lots and lots and lots
of children, like something like twenty percent of the world
population has the genes of Genghis Khan in them. Is
one better than the.

Speaker 2 (01:27:01):
Other somehow, And the fact is this is the difference.
We are being of free will, We are being of reason.
We are not a being whose actions are dictated by
biology and evolution.

Speaker 1 (01:27:22):
We can overcome biology and evolution. We dictate the terms.
We decide what to do, how to act. We decide
whether they have children or not to have children. We
decide who to love and who not to love, who
to have sex with, who not to have sex with,
and under what terms and what conditions. We are reasoning being,

(01:27:45):
not a being driven by some biological imperative or category
Gill imperative. If you're content, we choose our values.

Speaker 2 (01:27:59):
We must do it rationally in a way connected to reality,
to facts, and then we need to live the best
life based on that.

Speaker 1 (01:28:10):
And that does not mean living a traditional life.

Speaker 2 (01:28:13):
That does not mean living a life guy, you know,
dictated by biology and evolution.

Speaker 1 (01:28:24):
You get to choose, you get to determine. And right
now I think the culture is going through shock therapy
because of the massive change in the role of women.
And we will figure it out.

Speaker 2 (01:28:38):
People will figure it out, particularly if we elevate reason
and rationality. And I feel sorry for all those trad wives.

Speaker 1 (01:28:46):
I feel sorry for everybody stuck in relationships because it's tradition.
Stuck in relationships because that's how it's always been done.
Instead of being in a relationship because you love it,
because you want it, because you value it, because you
have decided to be in that relationship.

Speaker 2 (01:29:07):
Choice, individual choice, guided by reason. That's why we should elevate,
not And I don't understand quite the concern about you know,
one day in the future, if we go at this pace,
there will be no human beings.

Speaker 1 (01:29:25):
So why do I worry about the distant future? I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:29:29):
I worry about today, in the next fifty years maybe,
but the distant future, I don't really care. Have kids
if you want to have kids, don't have kids. If
you don't have kids, I mean, consider rationally all the
options and take into account the enormous values that kids represent.

(01:29:50):
Why do you care if humanity ceases to exist? I mean, humanity,
if it ceases to exist, ceases to exist in a
very distant future, we'll probably knuke ourselves well before that.

Speaker 1 (01:30:05):
Why is it your problem? You have one life, one
frigging life. That's it. It's short, you know, maybe if
you're young, one hundred years, maybe one hundred and twenty years,
that's it. You gotta make the most of that life.
You're gonna live that life.

Speaker 2 (01:30:22):
You're gonna sacrifice that life for the sake of future
generations down the road. Maybe one day, I mean, one day,
they'll have designer babies in artificial wombs. There won't be
a shortage of human beings. We'll just make them un demand.

(01:30:43):
I know that scared some of you. But this idea
that you should be a slave to future generations and
therefore you should live for future generations and it's your
moral responsibility future generations, that is ridiculous, mystical, absurd, and irrational.

Speaker 1 (01:31:05):
You should have kids.

Speaker 2 (01:31:06):
Because you love kids, because you love the challenge of
raising them, because you love the beauty of watching them
grow up, because.

Speaker 1 (01:31:14):
You you.

Speaker 2 (01:31:16):
Love seeing babies and small children learn about the way
the ways of the world. That's why I should have kids.
Because it's gonna be fun. It's gonna be really really,
really really hard, and it's gonna be the biggest challenge

(01:31:38):
you take on maybe in your life. But it's gonna
be fun. So Yeah, don't have kids because of future generations.

(01:31:58):
Don't have kids because it's a biological impair. If don't
have kids because you care about mankind future, have kids
because you value kids, because you know you're gonna really
benefit from it. You might make a mistake. It turns
out many parents do not benefit from it. But yeah,
have kids because they make they'll make you happy, but

(01:32:20):
they might not make you happy.

Speaker 1 (01:32:23):
That's why.

Speaker 2 (01:32:24):
If they're not going to make you happy. If you
don't think kids are gonna make you happy, then don't
have them. Your happiness as a standard, not a biological imperative.
Your happiness. All right, That is the news for November

(01:32:44):
twenty sixth Wednesday, November twenty six And it went way
longer than I expected, way longer than I've got a
hot stop. So we're gonna jump into the questions. We're
gonna go through these. Hopefully we'll get through all of
them before my heart stop. Please feel fee to ask

(01:33:04):
more questions, particularly if they're twenty or fifty dollars. Oh wes,
thank you for the fifty dollars stick. There were a
bunch of stickers. Let me thank the various stick of people,
and then we'll jump into question.

Speaker 1 (01:33:16):
Thank you, Paul, thank you, Delmia, thank you, gig Ef,
thank you Sit and I think one of you it
was your first ever super chat.

Speaker 2 (01:33:30):
That is yeahl Dalmio Gucia thank you first ever super
chat and twenty dollars at that, So thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:33:37):
I appreciate that a lot. And let's see who else
we have here, all right, yeah, z Race, Nutu, timber Park,
thank you guys.

Speaker 2 (01:33:54):
For the super chats. All right, let's jump in with
some questions. We'll start with fifty dollars questions it. We'll
start with an again, thank you Wes for the fifty
dollars sticker. We'll start with David, do you consider yourself
an extreme radical thinker? If what you say resonates with me,
does that make me a radical? I definitely think of

(01:34:15):
myself as a radical thinker.

Speaker 1 (01:34:16):
Extreme. It's not clear what extreme means, what exactly extreme means.

Speaker 2 (01:34:21):
But I definitely think I'm a radical thinker, and I
think to the extent that you agree with me, you
are also radical. Radical is you know, having a consistent
set of ideas that is significantly different than the mainstream
then what is acceptable out there? And in that sense,
we have an incredible consistent set of ideas that is,

(01:34:47):
you know, way out of the gnome. I'm a radical
for capitalism. I'm a radical for reason. I'm a radical
for egoism. I'm a radical for existence, exists, for reality.
So yes, you know, I I think if you agree
with me, you two are radical. Sorry, I know some
of you don't want to be radical. Nick, thank you

(01:35:09):
for the sticker thought criminal. Thank you for the sticker
whips David again. I took advice and listened to Tyler
Cowens podcast this morning. He had on Cast Weinstein, a
count Rolls and Dewey loving liberal who spent thirty minutes
refuting Hayak, miss Rand and others for being too les fa.

Speaker 1 (01:35:30):
Yeah, I mean I hate cast White Sunstein. He's terrible.

Speaker 2 (01:35:36):
You know, you asked me about reading their books, not
about listening to their podcasts. I don't know about Tyler's podcast,
but he has interesting guests. But yeah, Cas Weinstein is
a count Rolls and Dewey loving liberal. That's right, kind
of a left wing libertarian. I think he calls himself

(01:35:56):
he was he wrote, I think it's the same, Cas Sunsteen.
He wrote nudge, which is a way to nudge us
into good behavior, libertarian paternalism, he called it. But Tyler
typically asks good questions and Tyler is very thoughtful.

Speaker 1 (01:36:14):
I disagree with Tyler, and Tyler doesn't like I randed
there are lots of things I don't like about Tyler,
but Tyler's good as an economist, He's certainly good.

Speaker 2 (01:36:25):
David again, thank you, Thank you, David. Do you know
about statistician Hans Rosling studies showing declining fertility collreorating with
better educated women.

Speaker 1 (01:36:35):
Pinka Ziehan Goldwell.

Speaker 2 (01:36:38):
Basically played Joyce's work in their books. Yes, Hans Rosling
unfortunately passed away a few years ago.

Speaker 1 (01:36:44):
I think was great.

Speaker 2 (01:36:46):
I mean, he has these fantastic videos where he shows
all these graphs and he shows all this stuff. I mean,
he was a phenomenal person, phenomenal statistician, and really his
focus was on showing, h yeah, that we live in
the best of times. You should stop being such downers.

(01:37:08):
And absolutely fertility is correlated with educated education because as
women get more educated and better educated, they have more
options and they want to do more things with their time,
and that is a good thing.

Speaker 1 (01:37:21):
That is a good thing.

Speaker 2 (01:37:24):
So yeah, so I agree, and I agree that Pink
and all these other guys, I wouldn't say plagiarize because
a lot of them, I know Pinka gives him credit,
and I'm sure some of the others do. But yes,
His work is brilliant and excellent. His videos are fun
and entertaining to watch. Um Andrew poignantly sad when Zelensky

(01:37:56):
said that Ukraine must decide between its dignity and losing
a great ally in the United States. I'm glad rand
wasn't alive to see the United States put Ukraine in
that position, and against Russia of all countries. Yeah, she
would be horrified, horrified by Trump generally, but particularly by
Trump's behavior towards Ukraine and Russia. Put aside the question

(01:38:18):
whether to fund Ukraine to morally support it, There's just no.

Speaker 1 (01:38:26):
Question, no question at all.

Speaker 2 (01:38:33):
So yeah, it just horowble Andrew again a psychological observation.
I find it physically hard to focus on Takam.

Speaker 1 (01:38:45):
Not sure that's rational.

Speaker 2 (01:38:46):
Focusing on evil can be right, and if my objectivest
principles are firm, then facing opposite evil principles won't hurt
too much. Yeah, but he is a kind of a slimy, dishonest,
weasily kind of human being, and that suddenly can you know,

(01:39:08):
can be difficult to watch. It's not that it's going
to hurt you, it's just that it feels like a
waste of time. It feels like you should be doing
something better with your life. And it feels like a
bolt of lightning should strike him down and knock him
out right, that they should silence him. And I'm not

(01:39:28):
calling for violence, but it seems like person up there
God should take care of him.

Speaker 1 (01:39:35):
If there was one. There wasn't one. So we just
have to fight against him and the only way we can,
which is intellectually.

Speaker 2 (01:39:43):
It's offensive that he's so successful, given how hobable he is.

Speaker 1 (01:39:48):
I think that's part of the problem.

Speaker 2 (01:39:51):
Uh, Christos, did you see Jode Stephanopoulos kick JD Vance
out of the show for lying and evading on Tom
Holman's bride. Unprecedented government corruption In plain sight, current US
government is a Banana Republic. Kudos to George. Yeah, kudos
to George. I wish it was better on other issues,

(01:40:12):
but good on that. And yes, I mean, this is
my father most corrupt government in American history, I think.
I mean, as we've said, the Trump kids, the Wickcuff kids,
the you know, I don't know if Jady Vance's kids,
but Holman, I mean, all all benefiting financially at unbelievable rates,

(01:40:33):
and maybe j Evans too, we don't know from the
things that Trump is doing, from the things this administration
is doing.

Speaker 1 (01:40:41):
The I mean you thought Biden Biden's were amateurs. In comparison,
Biden's will corrupt. These guys are ten times more corrupt.
This one is from yesterday, saq you fan. Is there
any value in the Bible? Do the stories of any meaning?

(01:41:01):
Or is it all nonsense? I mean no, I mean
there's in almost value in the Bible for anthropological reasons.

Speaker 2 (01:41:08):
The stories all have meaning. Most of the meanings are hubbable.
Evil are bad. So the Bible has historic anthropological intellectual
you know, value as a guiding light in one's life.
It is a disvalue. It actually does harm. It's not

(01:41:31):
that it's nonsense.

Speaker 1 (01:41:33):
It's that it's advocating for evil, bad philosophy, and that
it's stories are leading you towards bad.

Speaker 2 (01:41:41):
Actions from an objective's perspective, actions that destroy yourself.

Speaker 1 (01:41:51):
So yeah, religion is no good. Religion is no good, and.

Speaker 2 (01:41:57):
It's it's founding texts. Texts are not good for human
beings with an independent mind. They're good for dogma. And
that's pretty much it. All Right, guys, we've made nice progress,
but we're still eighty six dollars short of our second
hour goal. So yeah, if you guys, it would be

(01:42:24):
great if we met the goal. We don't have a
lot of time, though, so we're pretty much would have
to happen quickly. This belongs to my Western question because
for some reason I cannot send twenty dollars super chats anymore.
Why were the spaghetti western so successful? Why did people
turn away from the classic Western story of good versus evil?

(01:42:48):
Why did people perform morally gray characters? Because that's the philosophy.
There was being that had been inculcated into the culture.
So spaghetti western come out in the sixties a period
of moral grayness, a period that that was preceded by

(01:43:09):
decades of people undermining any kind of morality of good
and evil, any kind of.

Speaker 1 (01:43:16):
Morality of standing up for justice and the good.

Speaker 2 (01:43:21):
Indeed, ridiculing that and making fun of that became one
of the main things that cinema did in the following
twenty years. Blazing Saddles is a good example a movie
that is really funny, but I don't like because what's
it making fun of. It's making fun of the things
that made the Western's great. It making fun of heroism,

(01:43:48):
of moral certainty, of good versus evil. But that is
the philosophy of the culture, and you get the art
is a reflection of the philosophy of the culture. And
this is the sixties.

Speaker 1 (01:43:59):
This is the rise of the you left, the subjectivism,
the relativism of the new Left, and the morality a morality,
the lack of morality of the leftist agenda. Lincoln, thank
you for the.

Speaker 2 (01:44:16):
Thank you for the sticker, Andrew, with respect to Aristotle.
With respect for Aristotle, I feel I could prove that
a proper definition of man is the rational emotional animal,
adding emotional as an essential ran every thought, a feeling,
every feeling of thought. What do you think, No, Because

(01:44:37):
I mean man is the rational animal, because rationality is
man's means of survival.

Speaker 1 (01:44:45):
Emotions are are means of survival.

Speaker 2 (01:44:47):
Emotions are you know, waste experienced life, but not a
means of survival.

Speaker 1 (01:44:52):
And then they not essentially what makes man man?

Speaker 2 (01:44:57):
And indeed, emotions the consequences and conclusions which are generated
by the by cognition.

Speaker 1 (01:45:03):
By the more rational part of the animal.

Speaker 2 (01:45:07):
So no, I think emotions are not a defining characteristic
of human beings. They're also not it's not clear that
animals don't have some form of emotion, certainly fear they have.
Human beings are unique in that they are, that they
have reason, that they are rational, that they can think,

(01:45:30):
they can challenge, you know, they can.

Speaker 1 (01:45:33):
In a sense consider their emotions.

Speaker 2 (01:45:36):
They have enough self awareness to consider their emotions, all
characteristics of reason. Andrew a tweet from a parody account
called god. If you pray odd enough, nothing happens, and
if you pay soft enough, nothing happens. Just nothing happens.

Speaker 1 (01:45:57):
That's good. Lincoln News out of d C.

Speaker 2 (01:46:01):
Two National Guard members were shot dead outside the White House. Currently,
flights the Reagan Airport are grounded as it could be
a possible terrorist attack, assassination attempt. Interesting, it'll be interesting
to see what ultimately comes of this.

Speaker 1 (01:46:17):
Who who is responsible? You know what? You know, what
is the purpose?

Speaker 2 (01:46:29):
Yeah, I'm just I'm just checking the news feed to
see if there's anything there. Two West Virginia National Guard
men killed in DC shooting near the White House. Shooting
happened on seventeenth in Ice Street. The West Virginia governor
confirmed the Godsman deaths. DC police took on one aspected

(01:46:55):
in the custody at the scene. The individual was wounded,
but not critically and received hospital or care. The area
saw a brief lockdown, street closures, and swift federal response,
with details on motive under investigation.

Speaker 1 (01:47:15):
Yeah, how to tell who did this and what the
what they were trying to achieve?

Speaker 2 (01:47:26):
All right, probably talk about it tomorrow on the news
if it turns into something. Lincoln, I despise how many
of you having kids as a sacrifice. What is more
self interested to your long term happiness than having and
raising the next generation of think as an entrepreneurs. Well,
I don't know. It depends. For some people it is

(01:47:48):
a sacrifice and they shouldn't have kids. So I don't
know how you can say what is more self interested
to your long term happiness? I didn't have kids, said
to her long term happiness was much more important to
finish outlash Shrugged than to have kids and to write
the Fountain it than to have kids.

Speaker 1 (01:48:11):
So I think it's a mistake. And why is it?

Speaker 2 (01:48:15):
I mean, you have to really think, and you have
to be able to articulate why is it so essential
to your long term happiness to raise the next generation,
not just any next generation of thinkers and entrepreneurs, and
what if your kids don't become entrepreneurs or thinkers, why
is it in your long term self interest? You have
to be able to have an answer for that, Lincoln.

(01:48:42):
My stepmom was able to work her way up to
CEO of a hospital at the university I attended and
raised me as if I were her birth son. A
CEO and no biological kids makes her enemy, makes an
enemy of the right.

Speaker 1 (01:49:02):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 2 (01:49:05):
But think about the fact that I ran didn't have kids,
and a lot of people don't have kids, and can
they not be happy? Of course they can, Lincoln says,
spelling clarity. It's the rights and raised me. Yes, they
think I figured that out, Thanks Lincoln. All right, guys,
all right, that went quickly, quicker than I thought. All right, hope,

(01:49:25):
thanks to all the super chatters and the stickers. Really
really really really really appreciate the support, particularly David who
came in with three fifty dollars questions.

Speaker 1 (01:49:34):
So thank you for that.

Speaker 2 (01:49:36):
I will see you guys tomorrow for a special Thanksgiving show.
We will talk about Thanksgiving Giving, thanks the importance of that, and.

Speaker 1 (01:49:48):
Yeah, it have a great If I don't see you tomorrow,
have a fantastic Thanksgiving, And don't forget to give thanks
to what's what's important to you, to your values, to
the people and and uh to the people important to you,
And don't forget to don't forget yourself, don't forget forget

(01:50:11):
to give thanks to you, to the choices you make,
to the values you pursue, to who you have made
you into. See you tomorrow or sometime in the future,
by everybody.
