Now, there's unclear um rumors going around about why unclear um rumors going around about why unclear um rumors going around about why Germany brought him back. Some people Germany brought him back. Some people Germany brought him back. Some people say that he never planned to return to say that he never planned to return to say that he never planned to return to Europe and that Germany uh actually went Europe and that Germany uh actually went Europe and that Germany uh actually went and got him because they didn't think and got him because they didn't think and got him because they didn't think that he was being treated well and they that he was being treated well and they that he was being treated well and they wanted to give him a chance to basically wanted to give him a chance to basically wanted to give him a chance to basically dradicalize. And so, people were saying dradicalize. And so, people were saying dradicalize. And so, people were saying like, "This is atrocious the way that like, "This is atrocious the way that like, "This is atrocious the way that this guy is being treated. We've got to this guy is being treated. We've got to this guy is being treated. We've got to bring him back. we've got to give him a bring him back. we've got to give him a bring him back. we've got to give him a chance. And so that if that ends up chance. And so that if that ends up chance. And so that if that ends up being true, and at this point I would being true, and at this point I would being true, and at this point I would say that should not be read as fact, but say that should not be read as fact, but say that should not be read as fact, but if that ends up being true, that would if that ends up being true, that would if that ends up being true, that would be completely insane. This gets into be completely insane. This gets into be completely insane. This gets into this whole idea that the West is this whole idea that the West is this whole idea that the West is committing civilizational suicide. As I committing civilizational suicide. As I committing civilizational suicide. As I try to really map what's going on in the try to really map what's going on in the try to really map what's going on in the mentality of people in the West, um it mentality of people in the West, um it mentality of people in the West, um it it really gets dark and I'll say at this it really gets dark and I'll say at this it really gets dark and I'll say at this point maybe a little bit confusing. I point maybe a little bit confusing. I point maybe a little bit confusing. I have hypotheses about what's going on have hypotheses about what's going on have hypotheses about what's going on inside of people's minds that will lead inside of people's minds that will lead inside of people's minds that will lead you back to the traditional marriage of you back to the traditional marriage of you back to the traditional marriage of the left uh and radical um it's not the left uh and radical um it's not the left uh and radical um it's not Islam, it's radical revolutionary Islam, it's radical revolutionary Islam, it's radical revolutionary ideology. And so whether that comes in ideology. And so whether that comes in ideology. And so whether that comes in the form of uh Marxist Leninists who the form of uh Marxist Leninists who the form of uh Marxist Leninists who also teamed up with the left, whether also teamed up with the left, whether also teamed up with the left, whether that comes in the flavor of Mao and him that comes in the flavor of Mao and him that comes in the flavor of Mao and him teaming up with the left, whether that teaming up with the left, whether that teaming up with the left, whether that comes in the flavor of uh what's going comes in the flavor of uh what's going comes in the flavor of uh what's going on right now with Islam teaming up in on right now with Islam teaming up in on right now with Islam teaming up in the west, you certainly saw that again the west, you certainly saw that again the west, you certainly saw that again in the revolution in the late '7s in in the revolution in the late '7s in in the revolution in the late '7s in Iran, them teaming up with the left and Iran, them teaming up with the left and Iran, them teaming up with the left and then they immediately murder the left uh then they immediately murder the left uh then they immediately murder the left uh as a way of um finally unmasking and as a way of um finally unmasking and as a way of um finally unmasking and showing that this was really a power showing that this was really a power showing that this was really a power play. Now, whenever you talk about this play. Now, whenever you talk about this play. Now, whenever you talk about this stuff, you have to be very careful to stuff, you have to be very careful to stuff, you have to be very careful to tease out the difference between someone tease out the difference between someone tease out the difference between someone who simply practices who is a practicing who simply practices who is a practicing who simply practices who is a practicing Muslim, but I'll call this is very much Muslim, but I'll call this is very much Muslim, but I'll call this is very much my wording. I don't know that anybody my wording. I don't know that anybody my wording. I don't know that anybody will like this uh but sort of reformed will like this uh but sort of reformed will like this uh but sort of reformed uh Islam in the same way that you get a uh Islam in the same way that you get a uh Islam in the same way that you get a reformation in Christianity. So, it's a reformation in Christianity. So, it's a reformation in Christianity. So, it's a very real thing. People really do get on very real thing. People really do get on very real thing. People really do get on the other side of this. And if people the other side of this. And if people the other side of this. And if people make this about race, which again, Islam make this about race, which again, Islam make this about race, which again, Islam is not a race. Uh so, teasing that out is not a race. Uh so, teasing that out is not a race. Uh so, teasing that out is going to be very important. This is a is going to be very important. This is a is going to be very important. This is a collision of values. This is people have collision of values. This is people have collision of values. This is people have a belief system that works uh that leads a belief system that works uh that leads a belief system that works uh that leads them to act in a certain way. People act them to act in a certain way. People act them to act in a certain way. People act in accordance with their beliefs and in accordance with their beliefs and in accordance with their beliefs and their values. Um, and the where this their values. Um, and the where this their values. Um, and the where this gets so weird is you see from the left gets so weird is you see from the left gets so weird is you see from the left all of this um what will seem pro radicalism, but I what will seem pro radicalism, but I actually think is simply the oppressed actually think is simply the oppressed actually think is simply the oppressed oppressor n uh narrative painted over oppressor n uh narrative painted over oppressor n uh narrative painted over everything. And when you look at the everything. And when you look at the everything. And when you look at the entire world through that lens, entire world through that lens, entire world through that lens, you especially in the west for reasons you especially in the west for reasons you especially in the west for reasons that are born out of France and we can that are born out of France and we can that are born out of France and we can get into this, but you have an get into this, but you have an get into this, but you have an intellectual tradition that's been intellectual tradition that's been intellectual tradition that's been running across the West for a very long running across the West for a very long running across the West for a very long time now. A very long time. Uh, call it time now. A very long time. Uh, call it time now. A very long time. Uh, call it 80 yearsish, 80 yearsish, 80 yearsish, maybe more as it really um its earliest maybe more as it really um its earliest maybe more as it really um its earliest earliest um sparks were before that. But earliest um sparks were before that. But earliest um sparks were before that. But you've had this running for a long time. you've had this running for a long time. you've had this running for a long time. So the oppressed oppressor narrative So the oppressed oppressor narrative So the oppressed oppressor narrative becomes very specifically anti-western becomes very specifically anti-western becomes very specifically anti-western in that it looks at the west Europe very in that it looks at the west Europe very in that it looks at the west Europe very specifically and all of Europe's specifically and all of Europe's specifically and all of Europe's descendants namely America as a coloniz descendants namely America as a coloniz descendants namely America as a coloniz colonizing force that has gone the world colonizing force that has gone the world colonizing force that has gone the world over and basically taken advantage of over and basically taken advantage of over and basically taken advantage of all of these countries. Now when you all of these countries. Now when you all of these countries. Now when you look at the west like there was one look at the west like there was one look at the west like there was one woman I think we have the link she's woman I think we have the link she's woman I think we have the link she's saying it in German so we we can play it saying it in German so we we can play it saying it in German so we we can play it but uh the punchline is that the what's but uh the punchline is that the what's but uh the punchline is that the what's coming out of Germany already keep in coming out of Germany already keep in coming out of Germany already keep in mind this just happened but what's mind this just happened but what's mind this just happened but what's coming out of Germany already from the coming out of Germany already from the coming out of Germany already from the left that is not the one though maybe left that is not the one though maybe left that is not the one though maybe she's speaking the one that I'm going she's speaking the one that I'm going she's speaking the one that I'm going for now the one that I'm going for is um for now the one that I'm going for is um for now the one that I'm going for is um a woman speaking German and she says I a woman speaking German and she says I a woman speaking German and she says I wish that this had been a Christian a wish that this had been a Christian a wish that this had been a Christian a white Christian I think she may have white Christian I think she may have white Christian I think she may have said specifically said specifically said specifically because we don't want this to become a because we don't want this to become a because we don't want this to become a political they don't use the word stunt political they don't use the word stunt political they don't use the word stunt but uh uh we don't want this to become but uh uh we don't want this to become but uh uh we don't want this to become political messaging where people are political messaging where people are political messaging where people are using this to be anti- Muslim to be using this to be anti- Muslim to be using this to be anti- Muslim to be anti-Islam because this ends up breaking anti-Islam because this ends up breaking anti-Islam because this ends up breaking their narrative and man I'm going to try their narrative and man I'm going to try their narrative and man I'm going to try to tie this to something that I've been to tie this to something that I've been to tie this to something that I've been talking to you guys for now 200 episodes talking to you guys for now 200 episodes talking to you guys for now 200 episodes this is one of the earliest things we this is one of the earliest things we this is one of the earliest things we talked about that's her talked about that's her talked about that's her um and um and um and when I was reading the book the when I was reading the book the when I was reading the book the Mchavelians, defenders of freedom. Mchavelians, defenders of freedom. Mchavelians, defenders of freedom. He talks a lot about historically that He talks a lot about historically that He talks a lot about historically that we could control the narrative. And so we could control the narrative. And so we could control the narrative. And so the not the whole world, but the vast the not the whole world, but the vast the not the whole world, but the vast majority of people saw the world the majority of people saw the world the majority of people saw the world the same way. It was a very controlled same way. It was a very controlled same way. It was a very controlled narrative. So it was a lie to be sure, narrative. So it was a lie to be sure, narrative. So it was a lie to be sure, but at least it was a shared narrative. but at least it was a shared narrative. but at least it was a shared narrative. And so the West would tell itself a And so the West would tell itself a And so the West would tell itself a story of we are the good, we are the story of we are the good, we are the story of we are the good, we are the righteous, all of that. And of course, righteous, all of that. And of course, righteous, all of that. And of course, everybody's telling themselves that everybody's telling themselves that everybody's telling themselves that story. And as I was reading the book and story. And as I was reading the book and story. And as I was reading the book and I thought oo in the age of social media I thought oo in the age of social media I thought oo in the age of social media where you have massive velocity of where you have massive velocity of where you have massive velocity of information and just sheer volume of information and just sheer volume of information and just sheer volume of information now all of these different information now all of these different information now all of these different narratives are going to come out at narratives are going to come out at narratives are going to come out at once. Now the problem is that one it can once. Now the problem is that one it can once. Now the problem is that one it can be used obviously to radicalize more be used obviously to radicalize more be used obviously to radicalize more people. We're certainly seeing that. But people. We're certainly seeing that. But people. We're certainly seeing that. But it's now bringing forward the left, it's now bringing forward the left, it's now bringing forward the left, the way that the left pairs up through the way that the left pairs up through the way that the left pairs up through the victim victimizer narrative with the victim victimizer narrative with the victim victimizer narrative with extremists and it allows everybody to extremists and it allows everybody to extremists and it allows everybody to see exactly the collision of those two see exactly the collision of those two see exactly the collision of those two things. So when you see queers for things. So when you see queers for things. So when you see queers for Palestine for instance, but then a Palestine for instance, but then a Palestine for instance, but then a radical jihadist, again, do yourself a radical jihadist, again, do yourself a radical jihadist, again, do yourself a favor, do not derange, do not get favor, do not derange, do not get favor, do not derange, do not get captured in uh a frame of reference that captured in uh a frame of reference that captured in uh a frame of reference that says all Muslims are bad. That would be says all Muslims are bad. That would be says all Muslims are bad. That would be it would be inaccurate. So even just it would be inaccurate. So even just it would be inaccurate. So even just from that standpoint, it's unwise. But from that standpoint, it's unwise. But from that standpoint, it's unwise. But also just getting to value system, also just getting to value system, also just getting to value system, understanding their value system is the understanding their value system is the understanding their value system is the only way that you're going to understand only way that you're going to understand only way that you're going to understand their behaviors. Okay? So it when you their behaviors. Okay? So it when you their behaviors. Okay? So it when you have queers for Palestine, but then a have queers for Palestine, but then a have queers for Palestine, but then a jihadist rams into a gay pride festival jihadist rams into a gay pride festival jihadist rams into a gay pride festival and you can find a nearly endless string and you can find a nearly endless string and you can find a nearly endless string of radical Islamists talking about how of radical Islamists talking about how of radical Islamists talking about how uh Allah hates the gays. And so it it it uh Allah hates the gays. And so it it it uh Allah hates the gays. And so it it it is jarring to say the least, but it is jarring to say the least, but it is jarring to say the least, but it becomes this very becomes this very becomes this very frustrating, frustrating, frustrating, bordering on deranging bordering on deranging bordering on deranging uh collision watching these two things uh collision watching these two things uh collision watching these two things play out in real time. So watching this play out in real time. So watching this play out in real time. So watching this driver slam into a gay pride festival uh driver slam into a gay pride festival uh driver slam into a gay pride festival uh that it is completely consistent with that it is completely consistent with that it is completely consistent with radical Islamists value system in terms radical Islamists value system in terms radical Islamists value system in terms of that going against God. And so we're of that going against God. And so we're of that going against God. And so we're not going to stand for it. we're not not going to stand for it. we're not not going to stand for it. we're not going to tolerate it. And yet the victim going to tolerate it. And yet the victim going to tolerate it. And yet the victim victimizer narrative of the left is so victimizer narrative of the left is so victimizer narrative of the left is so strong they can't see past it. And the strong they can't see past it. And the strong they can't see past it. And the human because I see all of us as caught human because I see all of us as caught human because I see all of us as caught up in this. The human propensity to up in this. The human propensity to up in this. The human propensity to regardless of what the facts tell you to regardless of what the facts tell you to regardless of what the facts tell you to be unable to parse the world in any way be unable to parse the world in any way be unable to parse the world in any way that violates your narrative. And that violates your narrative. And that violates your narrative. And they've done studies on this where you they've done studies on this where you they've done studies on this where you can present people with facts that show can present people with facts that show can present people with facts that show that their own side is perfectly that their own side is perfectly that their own side is perfectly violating their own stated principles violating their own stated principles violating their own stated principles and lying. And they will do all kinds of and lying. And they will do all kinds of and lying. And they will do all kinds of mental gymnastics to show why their side mental gymnastics to show why their side mental gymnastics to show why their side is actually perfectly consistent and is actually perfectly consistent and is actually perfectly consistent and perfectly right. But when they're perfectly right. But when they're perfectly right. But when they're looking across the political aisle at looking across the political aisle at looking across the political aisle at the other side doing it, they see it the other side doing it, they see it the other side doing it, they see it perfectly. And so they can see the sin perfectly. And so they can see the sin perfectly. And so they can see the sin of the other side, but they cannot see of the other side, but they cannot see of the other side, but they cannot see the plank in their own eye, which I the plank in their own eye, which I the plank in their own eye, which I think is a an actual biblical statement, think is a an actual biblical statement, think is a an actual biblical statement, Drew, if I can. Yeah. So, uh, what is Drew, if I can. Yeah. So, uh, what is Drew, if I can. Yeah. So, uh, what is it? You it? You it? You >> don't don't try to remove the block out >> don't don't try to remove the block out >> don't don't try to remove the block out of somebody else's eye without the speck of somebody else's eye without the speck of somebody else's eye without the speck out of your brother's eye without moving out of your brother's eye without moving out of your brother's eye without moving the block out of your eye. the block out of your eye. the block out of your eye. >> Yeah. So, like you see you see a a moat >> Yeah. So, like you see you see a a moat >> Yeah. So, like you see you see a a moat of dust in somebody else's eye, but you of dust in somebody else's eye, but you of dust in somebody else's eye, but you can't see the plank in your own. And can't see the plank in your own. And can't see the plank in your own. And that is we all do it. And so that's the that is we all do it. And so that's the that is we all do it. And so that's the part as I watch all of this unfold that part as I watch all of this unfold that part as I watch all of this unfold that I'm just reminding myself of constantly. I'm just reminding myself of constantly. I'm just reminding myself of constantly. I am just as in danger of getting caught I am just as in danger of getting caught I am just as in danger of getting caught up in a frame of reference as anybody up in a frame of reference as anybody up in a frame of reference as anybody else. So I have to be very very careful else. So I have to be very very careful else. So I have to be very very careful about that. In my own life, the thing about that. In my own life, the thing about that. In my own life, the thing that I fear about this show is the that I fear about this show is the that I fear about this show is the deeper I go down this stuff, the more I deeper I go down this stuff, the more I deeper I go down this stuff, the more I am just absolutely frustrated to my core am just absolutely frustrated to my core am just absolutely frustrated to my core um with far-left ideology. Again, to um with far-left ideology. Again, to um with far-left ideology. Again, to separate from people who are liberal or separate from people who are liberal or separate from people who are liberal or democratic like you've got to Yeah, you democratic like you've got to Yeah, you democratic like you've got to Yeah, you have to be so careful with this stuff. have to be so careful with this stuff. have to be so careful with this stuff. So anyway, I recognize that now my own So anyway, I recognize that now my own So anyway, I recognize that now my own beliefs, my own frustrations are beliefs, my own frustrations are beliefs, my own frustrations are beginning to form into um a narrative beginning to form into um a narrative beginning to form into um a narrative that I'm telling myself and I run the that I'm telling myself and I run the that I'm telling myself and I run the risk of getting trapped inside of that. risk of getting trapped inside of that. risk of getting trapped inside of that. Okay. So, I'm going to try to keep Okay. So, I'm going to try to keep Okay. So, I'm going to try to keep parsing this stuff as uh simply and parsing this stuff as uh simply and parsing this stuff as uh simply and clearly as I can, but I am not going to clearly as I can, but I am not going to clearly as I can, but I am not going to ignore that we have a massive coming ignore that we have a massive coming ignore that we have a massive coming collision between the West Rit large and collision between the West Rit large and collision between the West Rit large and the influence of the left on the west the influence of the left on the west the influence of the left on the west writ large because the very far-left writ large because the very far-left writ large because the very far-left ideology has been marching through the ideology has been marching through the ideology has been marching through the institutions for a very long time. So institutions for a very long time. So institutions for a very long time. So kids are being raised inside of this kids are being raised inside of this kids are being raised inside of this frame of reference and because what frame of reference and because what frame of reference and because what humans do is they will justify their own humans do is they will justify their own humans do is they will justify their own belief system no matter what information belief system no matter what information belief system no matter what information is presented with them even as we look is presented with them even as we look is presented with them even as we look at a moment like this where you have the at a moment like this where you have the at a moment like this where you have the German authorities who uh given their German authorities who uh given their German authorities who uh given their political tensions are not exactly political tensions are not exactly political tensions are not exactly excited to announce that this is uh excited to announce that this is uh excited to announce that this is uh pointing in the direction of uh Islamist pointing in the direction of uh Islamist pointing in the direction of uh Islamist terrorism but nonetheless are already terrorism but nonetheless are already terrorism but nonetheless are already saying yes this is where this is saying yes this is where this is saying yes this is where this is pointing and the left going Oh man, I pointing and the left going Oh man, I pointing and the left going Oh man, I really had hoped that this was uh a really had hoped that this was uh a really had hoped that this was uh a white Christian so that it would they white Christian so that it would they white Christian so that it would they don't say this part, but so that it don't say this part, but so that it don't say this part, but so that it wouldn't break their narrative. wouldn't break their narrative. wouldn't break their narrative. Making this about um my side right, your Making this about um my side right, your Making this about um my side right, your side wrong, I think would be um it it side wrong, I think would be um it it side wrong, I think would be um it it won't stop us from heading down this won't stop us from heading down this won't stop us from heading down this path and watching the value system that path and watching the value system that path and watching the value system that has given us the West selfdestruct. We'll talk about that more. I don't want We'll talk about that more. I don't want to die tribe on that. You can ask to die tribe on that. You can ask to die tribe on that. You can ask follow-ups. We can get into that. What I follow-ups. We can get into that. What I follow-ups. We can get into that. What I mean by that very specifically, how it mean by that very specifically, how it mean by that very specifically, how it will become policy, how that policy will will become policy, how that policy will will become policy, how that policy will make things economically worse. The make things economically worse. The make things economically worse. The economics are ultimately then what lead economics are ultimately then what lead economics are ultimately then what lead to the misery that we have seen play out to the misery that we have seen play out to the misery that we have seen play out uh in uh Russia, we've seen play out in uh in uh Russia, we've seen play out in uh in uh Russia, we've seen play out in China, we've seen play out in Cambodia, China, we've seen play out in Cambodia, China, we've seen play out in Cambodia, we've seen play out uh just in so many we've seen play out uh just in so many we've seen play out uh just in so many places over time. places over time. places over time. But right now, the thing that we have to But right now, the thing that we have to But right now, the thing that we have to look at is the behavior of the left is look at is the behavior of the left is look at is the behavior of the left is so deranging that you get a guy who his so deranging that you get a guy who his so deranging that you get a guy who his original sentence was 1 year and 10 original sentence was 1 year and 10 original sentence was 1 year and 10 months, but it was suspended. months, but it was suspended. months, but it was suspended. And the court ended up saying, well, you And the court ended up saying, well, you And the court ended up saying, well, you know, he confessed his time in pre-trial know, he confessed his time in pre-trial know, he confessed his time in pre-trial detention has already been served. he detention has already been served. he detention has already been served. he stated that he's really backing off of stated that he's really backing off of stated that he's really backing off of um ISIS, like he's not going down that um ISIS, like he's not going down that um ISIS, like he's not going down that sort of radical path anymore. And so we sort of radical path anymore. And so we sort of radical path anymore. And so we should just be um understanding and more should just be um understanding and more should just be um understanding and more forgiving. And obviously the prosecutors forgiving. And obviously the prosecutors forgiving. And obviously the prosecutors appealed that and they wanted to see appealed that and they wanted to see appealed that and they wanted to see this guy actually serve time, but they this guy actually serve time, but they this guy actually serve time, but they lost. And so two months later, this guy lost. And so two months later, this guy lost.

I mean, this this [ __ ] with a machete. I mean, this this [ __ ] with a machete. I mean, this this [ __ ] is just so wild. And because is just so wild. And because is just so wild. And because you have a desire, because you have a you have a desire, because you have a you have a desire, because you have a belief, I won't even say a desire, it belief, I won't even say a desire, it belief, I won't even say a desire, it starts as a belief. Because you have a starts as a belief. Because you have a starts as a belief. Because you have a belief. People have been taught in the belief. People have been taught in the belief. People have been taught in the west to hate the founding story of the west to hate the founding story of the west to hate the founding story of the west, if you will. They have come to west, if you will. They have come to west, if you will. They have come to believe that the west is uniquely bad, believe that the west is uniquely bad, believe that the west is uniquely bad, that we must decolonize that we must decolonize that we must decolonize everything about the west. You create everything about the west. You create everything about the west. You create this this this situation where people are actively situation where people are actively situation where people are actively trying to punish themselves in the West. trying to punish themselves in the West. trying to punish themselves in the West. And because of that, you're going to see And because of that, you're going to see And because of that, you're going to see more and more of this kind of violent more and more of this kind of violent more and more of this kind of violent extremism because it is a belief system extremism because it is a belief system extremism because it is a belief system and a value system that is fundamentally and a value system that is fundamentally and a value system that is fundamentally different than what we have in the West. different than what we have in the West. different than what we have in the West. and to know that there are a there's a and to know that there are a there's a and to know that there are a there's a huge contingent of people in the West huge contingent of people in the West huge contingent of people in the West that actually want to see this play out that actually want to see this play out that actually want to see this play out this way and their concern isn't for the this way and their concern isn't for the this way and their concern isn't for the lives that are lost. Their concern is lives that are lost. Their concern is lives that are lost. Their concern is for the upholding of the narrative and for the upholding of the narrative and for the upholding of the narrative and not wanting the other side to be able to not wanting the other side to be able to not wanting the other side to be able to weaponize this and stepping back knowing weaponize this and stepping back knowing weaponize this and stepping back knowing how likely I'm to get trapped by my own how likely I'm to get trapped by my own how likely I'm to get trapped by my own frame of reference and looking at it frame of reference and looking at it frame of reference and looking at it through that lens of okay, I'm looking through that lens of okay, I'm looking through that lens of okay, I'm looking at a bunch of people that are trapped at a bunch of people that are trapped at a bunch of people that are trapped and the fact that they do not try to and the fact that they do not try to and the fact that they do not try to come up with a cause and effect to look come up with a cause and effect to look come up with a cause and effect to look at, okay, we're running this belief at, okay, we're running this belief at, okay, we're running this belief system, system, system, meaning we should import people into the meaning we should import people into the meaning we should import people into the country. We have no right to have country. We have no right to have country. We have no right to have borders. Uh we have stolen from these borders. Uh we have stolen from these borders. Uh we have stolen from these people. We have destabilized their people. We have destabilized their people. We have destabilized their region. And so, yes, there should be no region. And so, yes, there should be no region. And so, yes, there should be no borders. We're going to get to this when borders. We're going to get to this when borders. We're going to get to this when we get to the DSA. They are just we get to the DSA. They are just we get to the DSA. They are just straight saying it out loud. And I can't straight saying it out loud. And I can't straight saying it out loud. And I can't believe how hard I have to bang the drum believe how hard I have to bang the drum believe how hard I have to bang the drum about this because it should be about this because it should be about this because it should be self-evident. They they the DSA is not self-evident. They they the DSA is not self-evident. They they the DSA is not hiding. The DSA as a very [snorts] good hiding. The DSA as a very [snorts] good hiding. The DSA as a very [snorts] good representative uh representative of the representative uh representative of the representative uh representative of the far left. They're not hiding that they far left. They're not hiding that they far left. They're not hiding that they want to get rid of borders. They're not want to get rid of borders.

They are literally infinity uh migrants. They are literally infinity uh migrants. They are not hiding the fact that they want to not hiding the fact that they want to not hiding the fact that they want to give them um citizenship. Like they give them um citizenship. Like they give them um citizenship. Like they she's we'll show you the clip. She just she's we'll show you the clip. She just she's we'll show you the clip. She just out and out says it. And so now we're in out and out says it. And so now we're in out and out says it. And so now we're in this position where we're watching these this position where we're watching these this position where we're watching these things collide, but people just want to things collide, but people just want to things collide, but people just want to defend their narrative instead of going, defend their narrative instead of going, defend their narrative instead of going, "Oh, okay. I see the problem that this "Oh, okay. I see the problem that this "Oh, okay. I see the problem that this is going to create and this is why this is going to create and this is why this is going to create and this is why this thing keeps happening over and over and thing keeps happening over and over and thing keeps happening over and over and over. And by the way, this is going to over. And by the way, this is going to over. And by the way, this is going to continue to bring out violence on the continue to bring out violence on the continue to bring out violence on the other side. And so you uh I don't know other side. And so you uh I don't know other side. And so you uh I don't know if you guys have been paying attention if you guys have been paying attention if you guys have been paying attention to this, but Elon had an interview um uh to this, but Elon had an interview um uh to this, but Elon had an interview um uh maybe last week sometime and the woman maybe last week sometime and the woman maybe last week sometime and the woman was like really coming after him and was like really coming after him and was like really coming after him and saying, "You keep saying that Europe is saying, "You keep saying that Europe is saying, "You keep saying that Europe is violent. It's not violent. Like you're violent. It's not violent. Like you're violent. It's not violent. Like you're crazy." And he was trying to point out crazy." And he was trying to point out crazy." And he was trying to point out when you bring in people cuz he said when you bring in people cuz he said when you bring in people cuz he said civil war is inevitable in the UK. And civil war is inevitable in the UK. And civil war is inevitable in the UK. And she was like that's [ __ ] It's not she was like that's [ __ ] It's not she was like that's [ __ ] It's not true. And he said, 'If you bring in a true. And he said, 'If you bring in a true. And he said, 'If you bring in a group that has fundamentally different group that has fundamentally different group that has fundamentally different beliefs than the group that's already beliefs than the group that's already beliefs than the group that's already there, they will eventually have enough there, they will eventually have enough there, they will eventually have enough and they will begin fighting back. And and they will begin fighting back. And and they will begin fighting back. And so there's video footage coming out now so there's video footage coming out now so there's video footage coming out now and so much of this stuff, you never and so much of this stuff, you never and so much of this stuff, you never know if it's anecdotal or if it's know if it's anecdotal or if it's know if it's anecdotal or if it's widespread. And so, um, for now, assume widespread. And so, um, for now, assume widespread. And so, um, for now, assume it's anecdotal, but that it gives you it's anecdotal, but that it gives you it's anecdotal, but that it gives you directional signals. You've got people directional signals. You've got people directional signals. You've got people in Ireland where uh the lads as they in Ireland where uh the lads as they in Ireland where uh the lads as they call them are walking around in groups call them are walking around in groups call them are walking around in groups at night. They say because they want at night. They say because they want at night. They say because they want women to feel safe walking around town. women to feel safe walking around town. women to feel safe walking around town. I'll say these are people that are I'll say these are people that are I'll say these are people that are getting angry because they realize that getting angry because they realize that getting angry because they realize that they're in a collision of values. And they're in a collision of values. And they're in a collision of values. And when they get angry enough, they are when they get angry enough, they are when they get angry enough, they are going to fight back. And so it'll start going to fight back. And so it'll start going to fight back. And so it'll start as skirmishes on the street. And my hope as skirmishes on the street. And my hope as skirmishes on the street. And my hope is that the actual volume and velocity is that the actual volume and velocity is that the actual volume and velocity of information due to the social media of information due to the social media of information due to the social media age actually causes this to dissipate age actually causes this to dissipate age actually causes this to dissipate early because people end up seeing like early because people end up seeing like early because people end up seeing like how absurd this is and so it's not able how absurd this is and so it's not able how absurd this is and so it's not able to just fester in these cloistered to just fester in these cloistered to just fester in these cloistered hidden areas um that it all comes to the hidden areas um that it all comes to the hidden areas um that it all comes to the forefront and we all see like what is forefront and we all see like what is forefront and we all see like what is happening. we all see the direction of happening. we all see the direction of happening. we all see the direction of travel and hopefully we can begin to um travel and hopefully we can begin to um travel and hopefully we can begin to um ease off of the ratcheting up tensions ease off of the ratcheting up tensions ease off of the ratcheting up tensions and start to have very sensible and start to have very sensible and start to have very sensible immigration policies. um put policy in immigration policies. um put policy in immigration policies. um put policy in place to make sure that people integrate place to make sure that people integrate place to make sure that people integrate that radical extremism is treated as that radical extremism is treated as that radical extremism is treated as radical extremism that we begin much radical extremism that we begin much radical extremism that we begin much like the countries in the Middle East like the countries in the Middle East like the countries in the Middle East that don't tolerate things like the that don't tolerate things like the that don't tolerate things like the Muslim Brotherhood that we also start Muslim Brotherhood that we also start Muslim Brotherhood that we also start putting in uh very strict policies about putting in uh very strict policies about putting in uh very strict policies about what we tolerate, who's considered a what we tolerate, who's considered a what we tolerate, who's considered a terrorist group, how we um defang them terrorist group, how we um defang them terrorist group, how we um defang them and deenergize them. All of that stuff and deenergize them. All of that stuff and deenergize them. All of that stuff is going to be incredibly important. But is going to be incredibly important. But is going to be incredibly important. But when you have people like this, if when you have people like this, if when you have people like this, if you're looking at your screen, that are you're looking at your screen, that are you're looking at your screen, that are saying, "Oh man, I just wish that this saying, "Oh man, I just wish that this saying, "Oh man, I just wish that this had been a white Christian, you realize had been a white Christian, you realize had been a white Christian, you realize that they've got an end goal that they that they've got an end goal that they that they've got an end goal that they want to get to, which is the West has want to get to, which is the West has want to get to, which is the West has committed these crimes throughout committed these crimes throughout committed these crimes throughout history. And they're never going to say history. And they're never going to say history. And they're never going to say we need to be punished for this, but we need to be punished for this, but we need to be punished for this, but that is certainly the vibe." That is that is certainly the vibe." That is that is certainly the vibe." That is what I think is in their heart. I'll what I think is in their heart. I'll what I think is in their heart. I'll just state it very plainly. I think they just state it very plainly. I think they just state it very plainly. I think they need they believe that the West needs to need they believe that the West needs to need they believe that the West needs to be punished. I think they see themselves be punished. I think they see themselves be punished. I think they see themselves as sort of sitting outside of that. Uh as sort of sitting outside of that. Uh as sort of sitting outside of that. Uh which is deeply problematic. Uh because which is deeply problematic. Uh because which is deeply problematic. Uh because they're going to be beholden. Remember they're going to be beholden. Remember they're going to be beholden. Remember the playbook goes like this. Um whoever the playbook goes like this. Um whoever the playbook goes like this. Um whoever has the most belief and is willing to has the most belief and is willing to has the most belief and is willing to kill the most people will go into power. kill the most people will go into power. kill the most people will go into power. This has just happened everywhere where This has just happened everywhere where This has just happened everywhere where the left and the revolutionary uh the left and the revolutionary uh the left and the revolutionary uh extremists have gotten together. The extremists have gotten together. The extremists have gotten together. The left is not willing to kill people at left is not willing to kill people at left is not willing to kill people at the rate uh that the the revolutionaries the rate uh that the the revolutionaries the rate uh that the the revolutionaries are. And so they will kill more people. are. And so they will kill more people. are. And so they will kill more people. They will get into power. One of the They will get into power. One of the They will get into power. One of the first groups of people that they end up first groups of people that they end up first groups of people that they end up killing are the people on the left. And killing are the people on the left. And killing are the people on the left. And so it's like this playbook runs time and so it's like this playbook runs time and so it's like this playbook runs time and time again. This is where the concept of time again. This is where the concept of time again. This is where the concept of the useful idiot comes up. So watching the useful idiot comes up. So watching the useful idiot comes up. So watching this, my takeaway is it should be very this, my takeaway is it should be very this, my takeaway is it should be very easy to say, okay, we have a problem easy to say, okay, we have a problem easy to say, okay, we have a problem right now with Islamic extremism. Not to right now with Islamic extremism. Not to right now with Islamic extremism. Not to be confused with Muslims. We have an be confused with Muslims. We have an be confused with Muslims. We have an Islamic extremist problem. Islamic extremist problem. Islamic extremist problem. It needs to be identified for what it It needs to be identified for what it It needs to be identified for what it is. Um, we have a culture whether that's is. Um, we have a culture whether that's is. Um, we have a culture whether that's the US, the UK, Europe at large, we have the US, the UK, Europe at large, we have the US, the UK, Europe at large, we have a culture. We are going to protect that a culture. We are going to protect that a culture. We are going to protect that culture ideally peacefully through culture ideally peacefully through culture ideally peacefully through policy. And if everybody puts it up on policy. And if everybody puts it up on policy. And if everybody puts it up on the table and we walk through what are the table and we walk through what are the table and we walk through what are the cause and effects of the different the cause and effects of the different the cause and effects of the different choices that we could make, then you can choices that we could make, then you can choices that we could make, then you can reach something sensible. Um, I don't reach something sensible. Um, I don't reach something sensible. Um, I don't put a lot of stock in that being the way put a lot of stock in that being the way put a lot of stock in that being the way that humans play out normally. And I that humans play out normally. And I that humans play out normally. And I really don't think that's how it plays really don't think that's how it plays really don't think that's how it plays out in a populist moment where everybody out in a populist moment where everybody out in a populist moment where everybody is reasoning by emotion and not by is reasoning by emotion and not by is reasoning by emotion and not by logic. So, what I'm expecting is to see logic. So, what I'm expecting is to see logic. So, what I'm expecting is to see a continued rise of internal violence a continued rise of internal violence a continued rise of internal violence within these different countries where within these different countries where within these different countries where the left and the revolutionaries, which the left and the revolutionaries, which the left and the revolutionaries, which in this case in Europe happen to be uh in this case in Europe happen to be uh in this case in Europe happen to be uh radical Islamists. And so that violence radical Islamists. And so that violence radical Islamists. And so that violence is going to collide with like in Germany is going to collide with like in Germany is going to collide with like in Germany groups like the AFD in England with groups like the AFD in England with groups like the AFD in England with groups like Restore. And it's going to groups like Restore. And it's going to groups like Restore. And it's going to end up if we can't do it through end up if we can't do it through end up if we can't do it through sensible dialogue and policy, it is sensible dialogue and policy, it is sensible dialogue and policy, it is going to end up being settled through going to end up being settled through going to end up being settled through violence. Uh and history is a wash in violence. Uh and history is a wash in violence. Uh and history is a wash in this exact playbook as we've seen this exact playbook as we've seen this exact playbook as we've seen literally the left and radical Islamists literally the left and radical Islamists literally the left and radical Islamists uh link up together in Iran being a very uh link up together in Iran being a very uh link up together in Iran being a very easy example to point to. Um easy example to point to. Um easy example to point to. Um yeah, we could do a total fractal on yeah, we could do a total fractal on yeah, we could do a total fractal on Islamists versus Christians in other Islamists versus Christians in other Islamists versus Christians in other parts of the Middle East and Africa. parts of the Middle East and Africa. parts of the Middle East and Africa. We'll leave that aside for now. Um so We'll leave that aside for now. Um so We'll leave that aside for now. Um so yeah this is one where if you're having yeah this is one where if you're having yeah this is one where if you're having the dialogue at the level of racism at the dialogue at the level of racism at the dialogue at the level of racism at the level of westb bad at the level of the level of westb bad at the level of the level of westb bad at the level of decolonize decolonize decolonize um that's all intellectual derangement um that's all intellectual derangement um that's all intellectual derangement um narrative capture being totally um narrative capture being totally um narrative capture being totally consumed by your own um frame of consumed by your own um frame of consumed by your own um frame of reference and just being able to you're reference and just being able to you're reference and just being able to you're you're completely blinded to the path you're completely blinded to the path you're completely blinded to the path out of this. And man, does history out of this. And man, does history out of this. And man, does history scream into the void with a warning that scream into the void with a warning that scream into the void with a warning that if we keep going down that only if we keep going down that only if we keep going down that only bloodshed awaits. Man, this is wild. bloodshed awaits. Man, this is wild. bloodshed awaits. Man, this is wild. >> Um, I want to start at the beginning >> Um, I want to start at the beginning >> Um, I want to start at the beginning because I'm reminded of that great because I'm reminded of that great because I'm reminded of that great quote, a great civilization is not quote, a great civilization is not quote, a great civilization is not conquered from without until has it conquered from without until has it conquered from without until has it jured itself within. So when we say that jured itself within. So when we say that jured itself within. So when we say that the West is under attack, do you think the West is under attack, do you think the West is under attack, do you think that it started inside or are these that it started inside or are these that it started inside or are these people bandits at the gates that we need people bandits at the gates that we need people bandits at the gates that we need to fortify before they take over? to fortify before they take over? to fortify before they take over? >> Well, okay. So that that is a statement >> Well, okay. So that that is a statement >> Well, okay. So that that is a statement that is um there's enough truth in it that is um there's enough truth in it that is um there's enough truth in it that it's going to continue to be a that it's going to continue to be a that it's going to continue to be a thing that's repeated, but the honest thing that's repeated, but the honest thing that's repeated, but the honest answer is whoever is stronger is going answer is whoever is stronger is going answer is whoever is stronger is going to win. to win. to win. >> Um and so even if you have a society >> Um and so even if you have a society >> Um and so even if you have a society that is really cohesive and really that is really cohesive and really that is really cohesive and really believes in what they're doing and is believes in what they're doing and is believes in what they're doing and is willing to fight, willing to fight, willing to fight, >> they may be harder. They will be >> they may be harder. They will be >> they may be harder. They will be significantly harder to conquer. Um, I significantly harder to conquer. Um, I significantly harder to conquer. Um, I plant that flag only so when later I plant that flag only so when later I plant that flag only so when later I say, uh, listen, we live in the law of say, uh, listen, we live in the law of say, uh, listen, we live in the law of the jungle and whoever strong is going the jungle and whoever strong is going the jungle and whoever strong is going to win. Um, that people don't think I'm to win. Um, that people don't think I'm to win. Um, that people don't think I'm being inconsistent. This moment is going being inconsistent. This moment is going being inconsistent. This moment is going to be brought to you by if you are to be brought to you by if you are to be brought to you by if you are trying to like take Poland as an as an trying to like take Poland as an as an trying to like take Poland as an as an example. I don't think many people know example. I don't think many people know example. I don't think many people know Poland's history. So, um, people Poland's history. So, um, people Poland's history. So, um, people understand it, I think, leading up to understand it, I think, leading up to understand it, I think, leading up to World War II, but they don't understand World War II, but they don't understand World War II, but they don't understand it after World War II. So after World it after World War II. So after World it after World War II. So after World War II, Poland gets um basically taken War II, Poland gets um basically taken War II, Poland gets um basically taken over by the Russian side of things and over by the Russian side of things and over by the Russian side of things and it's miserable and people are dying and it's miserable and people are dying and it's miserable and people are dying and starving and all the usual things that starving and all the usual things that starving and all the usual things that you would expect when the left actually you would expect when the left actually you would expect when the left actually win and you get a communist country. And win and you get a communist country. And win and you get a communist country. And so when they were able to regain their so when they were able to regain their so when they were able to regain their independence, they had suffered so much independence, they had suffered so much independence, they had suffered so much that they were just like, I don't care that they were just like, I don't care that they were just like, I don't care if people call us racist. we are not if people call us racist. we are not if people call us racist. we are not letting um foreigners that we don't letting um foreigners that we don't letting um foreigners that we don't think share our value system to come think share our value system to come think share our value system to come into our country. And so uh I'm I'm into our country. And so uh I'm I'm into our country. And so uh I'm I'm pretty sure it's either Poland or pretty sure it's either Poland or pretty sure it's either Poland or Hungary and I'm almost certain it's Hungary and I'm almost certain it's Hungary and I'm almost certain it's Poland that is being charged like a Poland that is being charged like a Poland that is being charged like a million dollars a day or something like million dollars a day or something like million dollars a day or something like that by uh the European Union because that by uh the European Union because that by uh the European Union because they are violating the European they are violating the European they are violating the European standards for accepting immigrants and standards for accepting immigrants and standards for accepting immigrants and refugees. And so they're like we'll just refugees. And so they're like we'll just refugees. And so they're like we'll just keep paying the money. And the reason keep paying the money. And the reason keep paying the money. And the reason we'll keep paying the money is we we'll keep paying the money is we we'll keep paying the money is we understand that there are some things understand that there are some things understand that there are some things more important than money because of more important than money because of more important than money because of what we went through um during the Cold what we went through um during the Cold what we went through um during the Cold War. War. War. >> Uh it's Hungary. >> Uh it's Hungary. >> Uh it's Hungary. >> It was Hungary >> It was Hungary >> It was Hungary >> or asylum and migration laws. Uh and >> or asylum and migration laws.

So on. So on. So when you look at the countries that are when you look at the countries that are when you look at the countries that are staying firm, they're going to give us a staying firm, they're going to give us a staying firm, they're going to give us a a really great natural experiment of are a really great natural experiment of are a really great natural experiment of are they going to be able to hold out they going to be able to hold out they going to be able to hold out longer. Certainly I have higher hopes longer. Certainly I have higher hopes longer. Certainly I have higher hopes for Poland uh than I have for say for Poland uh than I have for say for Poland uh than I have for say Germany uh which is really struggling or Germany uh which is really struggling or Germany uh which is really struggling or the UK which is really struggling the UK which is really struggling the UK which is really struggling because they there was um a British because they there was um a British because they there was um a British actress. God Ryan if you can find this actress. God Ryan if you can find this actress. God Ryan if you can find this one fast I'll be very impressed. This is one fast I'll be very impressed. This is one fast I'll be very impressed. This is one of those. Again, I did not expect it one of those. Again, I did not expect it one of those. Again, I did not expect it to stick to my ribs in this way, so I to stick to my ribs in this way, so I to stick to my ribs in this way, so I didn't pull the clip, but there was a uh didn't pull the clip, but there was a uh didn't pull the clip, but there was a uh British actress who's in um She-Hulk, British actress who's in um She-Hulk, British actress who's in um She-Hulk, and she said basically, England's like and she said basically, England's like and she said basically, England's like the worst. England are Did she say evil? the worst. England are Did she say evil? the worst. England are Did she say evil? She may not have used the word evil, but She may not have used the word evil, but She may not have used the word evil, but she went hard in the paint to be like, she went hard in the paint to be like, she went hard in the paint to be like, yo, England's the worst. Look at all yo, England's the worst. Look at all yo, England's the worst. Look at all these things that we've done these things that we've done these things that we've done historically, gone into these countries, historically, gone into these countries, historically, gone into these countries, colonized them, etc., etc. And so um colonized them, etc., etc. And so um colonized them, etc., etc. And so um when you have that sense of my own when you have that sense of my own when you have that sense of my own country is the bad guy then you can country is the bad guy then you can country is the bad guy then you can imagine that you want to see people come imagine that you want to see people come imagine that you want to see people come in. But the problem is that you're in. But the problem is that you're in. But the problem is that you're saying it in the period where things are saying it in the period where things are saying it in the period where things are still good. And still good. And still good. And people have not taken the time to create people have not taken the time to create people have not taken the time to create a mental map of what does it look like a mental map of what does it look like a mental map of what does it look like when somebody whose values are not mine when somebody whose values are not mine when somebody whose values are not mine force me to adhere to their values and force me to adhere to their values and force me to adhere to their values and what that feels like. It it is not a what that feels like. It it is not a what that feels like. It it is not a good thing. And this is how you get the good thing. And this is how you get the good thing. And this is how you get the like if anybody knows what happened in like if anybody knows what happened in like if anybody knows what happened in Spain where um Muslims come in, they Spain where um Muslims come in, they Spain where um Muslims come in, they conquer the country, they slaughter most conquer the country, they slaughter most conquer the country, they slaughter most of the Spaniards, uh but a small group of the Spaniards, uh but a small group of the Spaniards, uh but a small group goes up into the mountains and for like goes up into the mountains and for like goes up into the mountains and for like 400 years they have kids and they get 400 years they have kids and they get 400 years they have kids and they get stronger and they come back and they stronger and they come back and they stronger and they come back and they reconquer um Spain. And it's like that reconquer um Spain. And it's like that reconquer um Spain. And it's like that is the kind of violent back and forth is the kind of violent back and forth is the kind of violent back and forth that you end up getting when people that you end up getting when people that you end up getting when people believe that their value system is the believe that their value system is the believe that their value system is the thing that's under assault. Uh so okay thing that's under assault. Uh so okay thing that's under assault. Uh so okay to put a final bow on the question to put a final bow on the question to put a final bow on the question when you have that kind of disagreement when you have that kind of disagreement when you have that kind of disagreement inside your own country you you are inside your own country you you are inside your own country you you are incredibly weak because you can't you incredibly weak because you can't you incredibly weak because you can't you can't mount a defense you can't do what can't mount a defense you can't do what can't mount a defense you can't do what Ukraine is doing right now which is we Ukraine is doing right now which is we Ukraine is doing right now which is we now have and again you have to know now have and again you have to know now have and again you have to know their history to understand why they their history to understand why they their history to understand why they become what they become and when you become what they become and when you become what they become and when you read red famine and you hear like how read red famine and you hear like how read red famine and you hear like how Many millions of them were starved to Many millions of them were starved to Many millions of them were starved to death intentionally during that period death intentionally during that period death intentionally during that period where Stalin has taken control. I can where Stalin has taken control. I can where Stalin has taken control. I can never remember if that's right after never remember if that's right after never remember if that's right after Stalin takes control or right at the end Stalin takes control or right at the end Stalin takes control or right at the end of Lenon. I think it's Stalin, but of Lenon. I think it's Stalin, but of Lenon. I think it's Stalin, but anyway, Lenon, Stalin, sort of six of anyway, Lenon, Stalin, sort of six of anyway, Lenon, Stalin, sort of six of one, half dozen of the other. They one, half dozen of the other. They one, half dozen of the other. They starve all these Ukrainians to death. So starve all these Ukrainians to death. So starve all these Ukrainians to death. So part of the reason they were doing that part of the reason they were doing that part of the reason they were doing that is they did not want the Ukrainians to is they did not want the Ukrainians to is they did not want the Ukrainians to have a national identity. have a national identity. have a national identity. >> So now imagine you know that. Now >> So now imagine you know that. Now >> So now imagine you know that. Now imagine you get out from under the imagine you get out from under the imagine you get out from under the Soviet Union at the end of the Cold War Soviet Union at the end of the Cold War Soviet Union at the end of the Cold War and you start telling that history over and you start telling that history over and you start telling that history over and over and over like we are a nation. and over and over like we are a nation. and over and over like we are a nation. We are a people. We have an identity. It We are a people. We have an identity. It We are a people. We have an identity. It is us. And when Russia now invades, is us. And when Russia now invades, is us. And when Russia now invades, you're like, "Nope, [ __ ] that noise." you're like, "Nope, [ __ ] that noise." you're like, "Nope, [ __ ] that noise." And you get Zalinsky saying, "I don't And you get Zalinsky saying, "I don't And you get Zalinsky saying, "I don't need transport out. I need bullets." The need transport out. I need bullets." The need transport out. I need bullets." The most gangster statement of all time. most gangster statement of all time. most gangster statement of all time. Love or hate him. That's a very hardcore Love or hate him. That's a very hardcore Love or hate him. That's a very hardcore response of somebody who's like, "No, response of somebody who's like, "No, response of somebody who's like, "No, I'm going to fight for what's mine." I'm going to fight for what's mine." I'm going to fight for what's mine." Full respect to anybody on my team, not Full respect to anybody on my team, not Full respect to anybody on my team, not on my team. Full respect to anybody on my team. Full respect to anybody on my team. Full respect to anybody that's like, "No, I believe what I that's like, "No, I believe what I that's like, "No, I believe what I believe and I'm willing to fight and die believe and I'm willing to fight and die believe and I'm willing to fight and die for it." for it." for it." >> And so when when you have that, you see >> And so when when you have that, you see >> And so when when you have that, you see how strong of a resistance can be how strong of a resistance can be how strong of a resistance can be mounted. Look at the US. Same idea. We mounted. Look at the US. Same idea. We mounted. Look at the US. Same idea. We start developing a national identity start developing a national identity start developing a national identity before we become America and we're able before we become America and we're able before we become America and we're able to take on the most successful empire to take on the most successful empire to take on the most successful empire ever and defeat them. So when you are ever and defeat them. So when you are ever and defeat them. So when you are strongly united, you really can do strongly united, you really can do strongly united, you really can do something extraordinary. Now if England something extraordinary. Now if England something extraordinary. Now if England had had the will to crush us down and had had the will to crush us down and had had the will to crush us down and defeat us, they almost certainly could defeat us, they almost certainly could defeat us, they almost certainly could have. But we broke their will to fight have. But we broke their will to fight have. But we broke their will to fight just as Afghanistan broke our will to just as Afghanistan broke our will to just as Afghanistan broke our will to fight in Afghanistan. And so it you see fight in Afghanistan. And so it you see fight in Afghanistan. And so it you see this kind of they did the same thing to this kind of they did the same thing to this kind of they did the same thing to Russia. You see this kind of thing play Russia. You see this kind of thing play Russia. You see this kind of thing play out when you are strong and you have out when you are strong and you have out when you are strong and you have more uh belief, more intensity, more more uh belief, more intensity, more more uh belief, more intensity, more passion, more willingness to fight, uh passion, more willingness to fight, uh passion, more willingness to fight, uh more willingness to suffer, then you more willingness to suffer, then you more willingness to suffer, then you really can win. And so the very question really can win. And so the very question really can win. And so the very question that we're being asked right now as the that we're being asked right now as the that we're being asked right now as the West is are there enough people that West is are there enough people that West is are there enough people that believe in the West and what we've built believe in the West and what we've built believe in the West and what we've built and the incredible prosperity that we and the incredible prosperity that we and the incredible prosperity that we have brought to the entire uh globe. have brought to the entire uh globe. have brought to the entire uh globe. when you look at this moment in time, when you look at this moment in time, when you look at this moment in time, which the left will tell you this moment which the left will tell you this moment which the left will tell you this moment in time is brought to you by in time is brought to you by in time is brought to you by colonialism. Okay, that's what they'll colonialism. Okay, that's what they'll colonialism. Okay, that's what they'll say. Okay, great. Never ever ever ever say. Okay, great. Never ever ever ever say. Okay, great. Never ever ever ever in all of human history have we pulled in all of human history have we pulled in all of human history have we pulled more people out of poverty. Never ever more people out of poverty. Never ever more people out of poverty. Never ever ever ever ever in history have we um had ever ever ever in history have we um had ever ever ever in history have we um had a higher standard of living, lower uh a higher standard of living, lower uh a higher standard of living, lower uh birth mortality rates, longer life birth mortality rates, longer life birth mortality rates, longer life expectancy, and this moment brought to expectancy, and this moment brought to expectancy, and this moment brought to you by colonialism. Now, I don't think you by colonialism. Now, I don't think you by colonialism. Now, I don't think that's true. True. I don't think it's that's true. True. I don't think it's that's true. True. I don't think it's brought to you by colonialism. I think brought to you by colonialism. I think brought to you by colonialism. I think it's brought to you by western values. it's brought to you by western values. it's brought to you by western values. And the great thing about western values And the great thing about western values And the great thing about western values is that it has this directional bent is that it has this directional bent is that it has this directional bent away from the uh obviously the away from the uh obviously the away from the uh obviously the enslavement from the taking advantage of enslavement from the taking advantage of enslavement from the taking advantage of people towards a to use American people towards a to use American people towards a to use American language towards a more perfect union. language towards a more perfect union. language towards a more perfect union. It has that corrective mechanism brought It has that corrective mechanism brought It has that corrective mechanism brought to you by in my opinion Christianity. to you by in my opinion Christianity. to you by in my opinion Christianity. And so Christianity brings you this bent And so Christianity brings you this bent And so Christianity brings you this bent towards uplifting people, taking care of towards uplifting people, taking care of towards uplifting people, taking care of the poor, um not being an oppressor. An the poor, um not being an oppressor. An the poor, um not being an oppressor. An idea that um and I don't think he was idea that um and I don't think he was idea that um and I don't think he was Christian, but an idea that you hear Christian, but an idea that you hear Christian, but an idea that you hear echoed from Nelson Mandela where if you echoed from Nelson Mandela where if you echoed from Nelson Mandela where if you simply become the oppressor, you give up simply become the oppressor, you give up simply become the oppressor, you give up your humanity, being the oppressor is to your humanity, being the oppressor is to your humanity, being the oppressor is to lose your own humanity. And so um lose your own humanity. And so um lose your own humanity. And so um whether the only way for that to find whether the only way for that to find whether the only way for that to find its way to the forefront is Christianity its way to the forefront is Christianity its way to the forefront is Christianity or not is irrelevant. the fact that it or not is irrelevant. the fact that it or not is irrelevant. the fact that it is so embedded in Christianity that you is so embedded in Christianity that you is so embedded in Christianity that you see that rise to the four. So I think see that rise to the four. So I think see that rise to the four. So I think the west has shown us that you can have the west has shown us that you can have the west has shown us that you can have this long trajectory towards making life this long trajectory towards making life this long trajectory towards making life better for the vast majority of better for the vast majority of better for the vast majority of humanity. Now the country that's brought humanity. Now the country that's brought humanity. Now the country that's brought more people out of poverty than anybody more people out of poverty than anybody more people out of poverty than anybody else in human history certainly from a else in human history certainly from a else in human history certainly from a nominal perspective is China. But I will nominal perspective is China. But I will nominal perspective is China. But I will remind everybody China is communist in remind everybody China is communist in remind everybody China is communist in name only and they opened up to the free name only and they opened up to the free name only and they opened up to the free markets to stop starving their people to markets to stop starving their people to markets to stop starving their people to death when they were truly communist. death when they were truly communist. death when they were truly communist. And so looking at that transition when And so looking at that transition when And so looking at that transition when Mao dies into Deng Xiaoping and his Mao dies into Deng Xiaoping and his Mao dies into Deng Xiaoping and his reformation and all of that um that I reformation and all of that um that I reformation and all of that um that I think is extraordinarily telling about think is extraordinarily telling about think is extraordinarily telling about the power of Western ideology. Now I'm the power of Western ideology. Now I'm the power of Western ideology. Now I'm not saying that China has western not saying that China has western not saying that China has western ideology. They actively do not. But they ideology. They actively do not. But they ideology. They actively do not. But they looked at the West and said, "Oh, you looked at the West and said, "Oh, you looked at the West and said, "Oh, you guys figured something out and we want guys figured something out and we want guys figured something out and we want to import that um into our nation." And to import that um into our nation." And to import that um into our nation." And so looking at the value systems that so looking at the value systems that so looking at the value systems that drive people that a change in value drive people that a change in value drive people that a change in value system will change the country system will change the country system will change the country dramatically for the better or the worse dramatically for the better or the worse dramatically for the better or the worse becomes incredibly important. And so becomes incredibly important. And so becomes incredibly important. And so when you are divided and you have you're when you are divided and you have you're when you are divided and you have you're divided by an ideology that will allow divided by an ideology that will allow divided by an ideology that will allow you to be strong, be protected, strong you to be strong, be protected, strong you to be strong, be protected, strong borders, strong military, um law and borders, strong military, um law and borders, strong military, um law and order internally, safety internally, order internally, safety internally, order internally, safety internally, economic prosperity internally. That's economic prosperity internally. That's economic prosperity internally. That's going to be far more able to fight for going to be far more able to fight for going to be far more able to fight for itself than something that is itself than something that is itself than something that is ideologically driven, does not survive ideologically driven, does not survive ideologically driven, does not survive contact with reality, violence is contact with reality, violence is contact with reality, violence is necessary to maintain a lid on all of necessary to maintain a lid on all of necessary to maintain a lid on all of the push back that you inevitably get the push back that you inevitably get the push back that you inevitably get from it. That's obviously going to be a from it. That's obviously going to be a from it. That's obviously going to be a far weaker state. far weaker state. far weaker state. >> Copy. Um, >> Copy. Um, >> Copy. Um, we're having a little bit of disscent in we're having a little bit of disscent in we're having a little bit of disscent in the chat, so I kind of want to just the chat, so I kind of want to just the chat, so I kind of want to just state it plainly. What is the problem state it plainly. What is the problem state it plainly. What is the problem that we're trying to solve? that we're trying to solve? that we're trying to solve? >> Um, when we come to like preserving the >> Um, when we come to like preserving the >> Um, when we come to like preserving the West, we're trying to preserve the West, we're trying to preserve the West, we're trying to preserve the culture. We're trying to preserve the culture. We're trying to preserve the culture. We're trying to preserve the identity. What is the thing that is at identity. What is the thing that is at identity. What is the thing that is at attack right now? Because I think values attack right now? Because I think values attack right now? Because I think values sometimes get into this ought versus the sometimes get into this ought versus the sometimes get into this ought versus the what is like what is the problem that's what is like what is the problem that's what is like what is the problem that's happening? What is the policy? what is happening? What is the policy? what is happening?

It's like they're tolerant I um decree. It's like they're tolerant I um decree. It's like part of the Bible is about being part of the Bible is about being part of the Bible is about being tolerant and loving. And whether you're tolerant and loving. And whether you're tolerant and loving. And whether you're a prostitute or a leper, it's like a prostitute or a leper, it's like a prostitute or a leper, it's like you're just as valuable as a human and you're just as valuable as a human and you're just as valuable as a human and worthy of love and all of that. And so worthy of love and all of that. And so worthy of love and all of that. And so it becomes very difficult for certainly it becomes very difficult for certainly it becomes very difficult for certainly modern era Christians to uh put up walls modern era Christians to uh put up walls modern era Christians to uh put up walls and say, "No, no, no. You can't come in and say, "No, no, no. You can't come in and say, "No, no, no. You can't come in here. You're not welcome here." It feels here. You're not welcome here." It feels here. You're not welcome here." It feels very uncchristian. And so um radical very uncchristian. And so um radical very uncchristian. And so um radical Islamists will take advantage of that. Islamists will take advantage of that. Islamists will take advantage of that. They do not believe in your liberal They do not believe in your liberal They do not believe in your liberal policies. They do not believe that policies. They do not believe that policies. They do not believe that that's what God wants. They believe in that's what God wants. They believe in that's what God wants. They believe in Sharia law and they're going to manifest Sharia law and they're going to manifest Sharia law and they're going to manifest that. And so that's exactly what that. And so that's exactly what that. And so that's exactly what happened. And Islam ended up taking over happened. And Islam ended up taking over happened. And Islam ended up taking over Lebanon. Lebanon went from being the in Lebanon. Lebanon went from being the in Lebanon. Lebanon went from being the in the 60s went from being known as the the 60s went from being known as the the 60s went from being known as the Paris of the Middle East, considered one Paris of the Middle East, considered one Paris of the Middle East, considered one of the most beautiful places on earth, a of the most beautiful places on earth, a of the most beautiful places on earth, a place that was safe, uh, prosperous, to place that was safe, uh, prosperous, to place that was safe, uh, prosperous, to now being war torn. I mean, if you want now being war torn. I mean, if you want now being war torn. I mean, if you want to imagine, um, a brutal place to live, to imagine, um, a brutal place to live, to imagine, um, a brutal place to live, you might conjure up Beirut. I mean, you might conjure up Beirut. I mean, you might conjure up Beirut. I mean, that was certainly like the poster child that was certainly like the poster child that was certainly like the poster child in the '9s for um what that looks like in the '9s for um what that looks like in the '9s for um what that looks like to be a war torn nation. Um so, a to be a war torn nation. Um so, a to be a war torn nation. Um so, a collision of values is a very bloody collision of values is a very bloody collision of values is a very bloody thing. And I mean, if you want to, if thing. And I mean, if you want to, if thing. And I mean, if you want to, if anybody's watched the man in the high anybody's watched the man in the high anybody's watched the man in the high castle, it's an alternate take on castle, it's an alternate take on castle, it's an alternate take on history where what if Japan and the history where what if Japan and the history where what if Japan and the Nazis had won?

Um, China your only option is violence. Um, China your only option is violence. Um, China discovered that in I mean it really discovered that in I mean it really discovered that in I mean it really discovered it uh in the early days of discovered it uh in the early days of discovered it uh in the early days of Mao's rule, but it discovered it again Mao's rule, but it discovered it again Mao's rule, but it discovered it again during um Tianaan Square where people during um Tianaan Square where people during um Tianaan Square where people wanted to push further. They didn't just wanted to push further. They didn't just wanted to push further. They didn't just want um free markets, they wanted want um free markets, they wanted want um free markets, they wanted freedom. And the government rolls tanks freedom.

But he brought American finance to China, was brought American finance to China, was brought American finance to China, was funding Chinese companies and wanted to funding Chinese companies and wanted to funding Chinese companies and wanted to help bring all of the lessons of help bring all of the lessons of help bring all of the lessons of capitalism to China and help in that capitalism to China and help in that capitalism to China and help in that phase. And he said it was the most phase. And he said it was the most phase. And he said it was the most incredible thing he was ever a part of. incredible thing he was ever a part of. incredible thing he was ever a part of. And he was like, I know that this will And he was like, I know that this will And he was like, I know that this will forever be the the most special thing forever be the the most special thing forever be the the most special thing that I've I've ever been involved in in that I've I've ever been involved in in that I've I've ever been involved in in my life. And he was like, I was in my life. And he was like, I was in my life.

And so it's it's completely surreal." And so for all the things that they've done to for all the things that they've done to for all the things that they've done to try to hide that, that is what it looks try to hide that, that is what it looks try to hide that, that is what it looks like to have to repress people when like to have to repress people when like to have to repress people when you're bringing a new value system on you're bringing a new value system on you're bringing a new value system on top of what people don't want. I think top of what people don't want. I think top of what people don't want.

I want to be able to pursue the things that I want. able to pursue the things that I want. able to pursue the things that I want. And inevitably, when the thing that you And inevitably, when the thing that you And inevitably, when the thing that you want doesn't line up with what the want doesn't line up with what the want doesn't line up with what the government wants, then if you don't have government wants, then if you don't have government wants, then if you don't have an outlet to debate, to vote for an outlet to debate, to vote for an outlet to debate, to vote for somebody, to get the guy that you don't somebody, to get the guy that you don't somebody, to get the guy that you don't like in power, out of power, um then you like in power, out of power, um then you like in power, out of power, um then you become violent and then the state has to become violent and then the state has to become violent and then the state has to decide whether it backs off and lets you decide whether it backs off and lets you decide whether it backs off and lets you overtake or whether they just hammer overtake or whether they just hammer overtake or whether they just hammer down and kill kill until you fall silent down and kill kill until you fall silent down and kill kill until you fall silent again. Um so that when you are asked to again. Um so that when you are asked to again. Um so that when you are asked to live in a way and and to bring this back live in a way and and to bring this back live in a way and and to bring this back to radical Islam versus the west, if you to radical Islam versus the west, if you to radical Islam versus the west, if you think of it as okay, what does modern think of it as okay, what does modern think of it as okay, what does modern tolerant Christianity look like? It tolerant Christianity look like? It tolerant Christianity look like? It looks like the pope giving uh a blessing looks like the pope giving uh a blessing looks like the pope giving uh a blessing to the gay community. It looks like um to the gay community. It looks like um to the gay community. It looks like um the Supreme Court in America passing gay the Supreme Court in America passing gay the Supreme Court in America passing gay marriage.

It's written in the book and you're It's written in the book and you're It's written in the book and you're going to adhere to that. And there was a going to adhere to that. And there was a going to adhere to that. And there was a clip the other day. I think I may have clip the other day. I think I may have clip the other day. I think I may have pulled it so it might not be in this pulled it so it might not be in this pulled it so it might not be in this one. It might be in a previous uh day one. It might be in a previous uh day one. It might be in a previous uh day live. We never ended up talking about live. We never ended up talking about live. We never ended up talking about it, but it was a group of I can't it, but it was a group of I can't it, but it was a group of I can't remember if they were in America or if remember if they were in America or if remember if they were in America or if they were in the UK, but if I remember they were in the UK, but if I remember they were in the UK, but if I remember right, they were speaking English. Um, right, they were speaking English. Um, right, they were speaking English. Um, and it it's a huge group, but like and it it's a huge group, but like and it it's a huge group, but like imagine in a ballroom in a hotel. imagine in a ballroom in a hotel. imagine in a ballroom in a hotel. >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> Huge group.

And you've normal [ __ ] people, man. And you've got an imam at the front and he says, got an imam at the front and he says, got an imam at the front and he says, "Okay, everybody's talking about how um "Okay, everybody's talking about how um "Okay, everybody's talking about how um Muslims are radical and like this is all Muslims are radical and like this is all Muslims are radical and like this is all ridiculous. So, how many of you guys ridiculous. So, how many of you guys ridiculous. So, how many of you guys consider yourself radical Muslims?" Not consider yourself radical Muslims?" Not consider yourself radical Muslims?" Not a single hand goes up. And he says, a single hand goes up. And he says, a single hand goes up. And he says, "Okay, how many of you um believe that "Okay, how many of you um believe that "Okay, how many of you um believe that uh does he say the Quran?" I'm going to uh does he say the Quran?" I'm going to uh does he say the Quran?" I'm going to give you the gist. This is all give you the gist. This is all give you the gist. This is all paraphrase, but boy, I'm not overselling paraphrase, but boy, I'm not overselling paraphrase, but boy, I'm not overselling it. This I assure you. And and uh Ryan, it. This I assure you. And and uh Ryan, it. This I assure you. And and uh Ryan, even if I have to track this down after even if I have to track this down after even if I have to track this down after the fact and like drop it in Discord or the fact and like drop it in Discord or the fact and like drop it in Discord or something, remind me because I I I'm something, remind me because I I I'm something, remind me because I I I'm going to represent this neutrally, but I going to represent this neutrally, but I going to represent this neutrally, but I assure you this is what was being said. assure you this is what was being said. assure you this is what was being said. So, are any of you radical? Nope. All So, are any of you radical? Nope. All So, are any of you radical? Nope. All the hands down. Uh are we all just the hands down. Uh are we all just the hands down. Uh are we all just normal people living our normal life? normal people living our normal life? normal people living our normal life? Hands down. They all look again just Hands down. They all look again just Hands down. They all look again just completely western, completely normal. completely western, completely normal. completely western, completely normal. And um he says, "But do we believe that And um he says, "But do we believe that And um he says, "But do we believe that the Quran is the word of God?" Yes. Do the Quran is the word of God?" Yes. Do the Quran is the word of God?" Yes. Do we believe that the punishments that God we believe that the punishments that God we believe that the punishments that God uh puts forth in the Quran are accurate? uh puts forth in the Quran are accurate? uh puts forth in the Quran are accurate? So whether that's stoning or murder or So whether that's stoning or murder or So whether that's stoning or murder or whatever. And they all raised their whatever. And they all raised their whatever. And they all raised their hand. And I was just like, whoa. So this hand. And I was just like, whoa. So this hand. And I was just like, whoa. So this guy was making the argument that when guy was making the argument that when guy was making the argument that when you believe that the Quran has laid out you believe that the Quran has laid out you believe that the Quran has laid out for you precisely how you should behave for you precisely how you should behave for you precisely how you should behave then it's like there's nothing radical then it's like there's nothing radical then it's like there's nothing radical about that. That's just this is what we about that. That's just this is what we about that. That's just this is what we believe. These are the values. So when believe. These are the values. So when believe. These are the values. So when you look at Iran specifically because you look at Iran specifically because you look at Iran specifically because they are a theocratic regime they they are a theocratic regime they they are a theocratic regime they believe that the state should be run by believe that the state should be run by believe that the state should be run by the word of God. um you get a very the word of God. um you get a very the word of God. um you get a very different country than you get in different country than you get in different country than you get in America. And so the question becomes for America. And so the question becomes for America. And so the question becomes for people, how will you feel, for instance, people, how will you feel, for instance, people, how will you feel, for instance, when gay marriage is immediately when gay marriage is immediately when gay marriage is immediately abolished? Uh when gay people go back to abolished? Uh when gay people go back to abolished? Uh when gay people go back to getting stoned to death, um how will you getting stoned to death, um how will you getting stoned to death, um how will you feel? Because that's what it's like to feel? Because that's what it's like to feel? Because that's what it's like to have a value system that is not yours have a value system that is not yours have a value system that is not yours put on you by force and you have no way put on you by force and you have no way put on you by force and you have no way out from under it. So the the objective out from under it. So the the objective out from under it. So the the objective is a majority Christian nation. So that is a majority Christian nation. So that is a majority Christian nation. So that way our constitution can be projected. way our constitution can be projected. way our constitution can be projected. And the fear is that Muslims will come And the fear is that Muslims will come And the fear is that Muslims will come into the US, take over political power, into the US, take over political power, into the US, take over political power, change the constitutions and do all change the constitutions and do all change the constitutions and do all these things that these things that these things that >> Yeah.

But yet in the Islamists from Muslims. But yet in the Islamists from Muslims. But yet in the retelling, and I think you're being very retelling, and I think you're being very retelling, and I think you're being very sincere sincere sincere >> in the retelling of what I just said, >> in the retelling of what I just said, >> in the retelling of what I just said, you said Muslims, not radical Islamist, you said Muslims, not radical Islamist, you said Muslims, not radical Islamist, >> but the difference is like there's not a >> but the difference is like there's not a >> but the difference is like there's not a radical Islamist card. It's going to be radical Islamist card. It's going to be radical Islamist card. It's going to be blanket statements. So while there's blanket statements. So while there's blanket statements. So while there's >> you you have to tease these out >> you you have to tease these out >> you you have to tease these out otherwise it will be completely otherwise it will be completely otherwise it will be completely deranging because and this is where um deranging because and this is where um deranging because and this is where um the Muslim community, the I'll call the the Muslim community, the I'll call the the Muslim community, the I'll call the secularized or the reformed Muslim secularized or the reformed Muslim secularized or the reformed Muslim community community community >> needs to be the vanguard, the the tip of >> needs to be the vanguard, the the tip of >> needs to be the vanguard, the the tip of the spear.

And they list the goal of taking over. And they list the goal of taking over. And they list the ways they're going to take over. They ways they're going to take over. They ways they're going to take over. They take over through the womb. Uh they take take over through the womb. Uh they take take over through the womb. Uh they take over through the sword. Like I think over through the sword. Like I think over through the sword. Like I think there's four things. Anyway, they uh there's four things. Anyway, they uh there's four things.

They're radical, but they'll come out They're radical, but they'll come out They're radical, but they'll come out and say it. Not saying that's a belief and say it. Not saying that's a belief and say it. Not saying that's a belief of every Muslim, but they will come out of every Muslim, but they will come out of every Muslim, but they will come out and just say these are the ways that and just say these are the ways that and just say these are the ways that we're going to do it. And so given that we're going to do it. And so given that we're going to do it. And so given that if you just run the demographic numbers, if you just run the demographic numbers, if you just run the demographic numbers, you end up there. Then you have to ask you end up there. Then you have to ask you end up there. Then you have to ask the people who are already here how you the people who are already here how you the people who are already here how you want to handle that situation. Do you want to handle that situation. Do you want to handle that situation. Do you want to let the demographics take over want to let the demographics take over want to let the demographics take over your country or do you want to say yeah your country or do you want to say yeah your country or do you want to say yeah this doesn't make sense. We need to this doesn't make sense. We need to this doesn't make sense. We need to bring in a certain number and pause and bring in a certain number and pause and bring in a certain number and pause and then you need to integrate. You see how then you need to integrate. You see how then you need to integrate. You see how well that goes. Do they become American? well that goes. Do they become American? well that goes. Do they become American? Like I heard Jillian Michaels of all Like I heard Jillian Michaels of all Like I heard Jillian Michaels of all people talking about this and she was people talking about this and she was people talking about this and she was like I didn't find out that I was um a like I didn't find out that I was um a like I didn't find out that I was um a third Jewish until I was in my 30s. And third Jewish until I was in my 30s. And third Jewish until I was in my 30s. And she was like I was raised Gen Xers all she was like I was raised Gen Xers all she was like I was raised Gen Xers all day. We were all raised that like you day. We were all raised that like you day. We were all raised that like you were American. So, like I have a friend were American. So, like I have a friend were American. So, like I have a friend who or had a friend who was Dutch and um who or had a friend who was Dutch and um who or had a friend who was Dutch and um his parents were told like don't teach his parents were told like don't teach his parents were told like don't teach them uh Dutch. They're American. Teach them uh Dutch. They're American. Teach them uh Dutch. They're American. Teach them English. And that's the thing. And them English. And that's the thing. And them English. And that's the thing. And so you grow up with this weakening so you grow up with this weakening so you grow up with this weakening identity of where you came from. Like identity of where you came from. Like identity of where you came from. Like technically I'm like 60% Dutch, a bunch technically I'm like 60% Dutch, a bunch technically I'm like 60% Dutch, a bunch German, and a little bit of smattering German, and a little bit of smattering German, and a little bit of smattering of other European stuff. I have no sense of other European stuff. I have no sense of other European stuff. I have no sense of that. I'm just American. Like when I of that. I'm just American. Like when I of that. I'm just American. Like when I say I do not have any emotional say I do not have any emotional say I do not have any emotional connection to those countries, none connection to those countries, none connection to those countries, none whatsoever. So that created a bunch of whatsoever. So that created a bunch of whatsoever. So that created a bunch of Americans. People came here because they Americans. People came here because they Americans. People came here because they wanted their kids to grow up American. wanted their kids to grow up American. wanted their kids to grow up American. And that is shifting and people are now And that is shifting and people are now And that is shifting and people are now staying cloistered in these little staying cloistered in these little staying cloistered in these little groups. And so that is going to change groups. And so that is going to change groups. And so that is going to change the fabric of a country. Now if your the fabric of a country. Now if your the fabric of a country. Now if your belief system is, oh, I want my kids to belief system is, oh, I want my kids to belief system is, oh, I want my kids to grow up the way that I grew up. I want grow up the way that I grew up. I want grow up the way that I grew up. I want my kids to have the same identity of my kids to have the same identity of my kids to have the same identity of being an American that I have. Then it's being an American that I have. Then it's being an American that I have. Then it's like, well, you're going to have to do like, well, you're going to have to do like, well, you're going to have to do things to ensure that that's true things to ensure that that's true things to ensure that that's true because whoever is politically and because whoever is politically and because whoever is politically and economically most powerful, they're economically most powerful, they're economically most powerful, they're going to control the culture of your going to control the culture of your going to control the culture of your country. Uh, and then eventually they country. Uh, and then eventually they country. Uh, and then eventually they will control your politics and then will control your politics and then will control your politics and then everything once they have culture and everything once they have culture and everything once they have culture and politics like it's game over. So, politics like it's game over. So, politics like it's game over. So, we have to decide as the west are we we have to decide as the west are we we have to decide as the west are we willing to defend that and if we're not willing to defend that and if we're not willing to defend that and if we're not then it goes away. then it goes away. then it goes away. >> Okay.

Like what what's the most like venomous what what's the most like venomous what what's the most like venomous ideally the the strongest the person who ideally the the strongest the person who ideally the the strongest the person who thinks I'm just absolutely [ __ ] and thinks I'm just absolutely [ __ ] and thinks I'm just absolutely [ __ ] and they have a cogent argument so that I they have a cogent argument so that I they have a cogent argument so that I can figure out what either belief based can figure out what either belief based can figure out what either belief based assumption they have that guides their assumption they have that guides their assumption they have that guides their thinking or um there's a few. So some thinking or um there's a few. So some thinking or um there's a few. So some said the rebuttal to the Christian said the rebuttal to the Christian said the rebuttal to the Christian separate certain st church and state is separate certain st church and state is separate certain st church and state is being um forced upon because like the being um forced upon because like the being um forced upon because like the recent abortion bans because I don't recent abortion bans because I don't recent abortion bans because I don't want to abort a baby you're killing a want to abort a baby you're killing a want to abort a baby you're killing a that's a Christian notion that affects that's a Christian notion that affects that's a Christian notion that affects actual people that is now a law that is actual people that is now a law that is actual people that is now a law that is passed. So yes it's not Sharia law where passed. So yes it's not Sharia law where passed. So yes it's not Sharia law where people are getting stoned but we do have people are getting stoned but we do have people are getting stoned but we do have Christian laws that are dictating Christian laws that are dictating Christian laws that are dictating policy. Yes, because we are by culture a policy. Yes, because we are by culture a policy. Yes, because we are by culture a Christian nation. Christian nation. Christian nation. >> But that that that is the opposite of >> But that that that is the opposite of >> But that that that is the opposite of you saying we need a Christian majority you saying we need a Christian majority you saying we need a Christian majority because we're more tolerant and we don't because we're more tolerant and we don't because we're more tolerant and we don't let our religion dictate our laws. let our religion dictate our laws. let our religion dictate our laws. >> No, it doesn't. So here's what people >> No, it doesn't. So here's what people >> No, it doesn't. So here's what people have to understand. There is a big have to understand. There is a big have to understand. There is a big difference between the scripture becomes difference between the scripture becomes difference between the scripture becomes the laws and people who believe in the the laws and people who believe in the the laws and people who believe in the thing have a value system that was thing have a value system that was thing have a value system that was created by the scripture. So with or created by the scripture. So with or created by the scripture. So with or without without without >> isn't that the same with the Muslims >> isn't that the same with the Muslims >> isn't that the same with the Muslims though? though? though? >> The scripture becomes the law but the >> The scripture becomes the law but the >> The scripture becomes the law but the >> Yes. Yes. Yes. This is precisely what >> Yes. Yes. Yes. This is precisely what >> Yes. Yes. Yes. This is precisely what I'm saying. You must separate Muslims I'm saying. You must separate Muslims I'm saying. You must separate Muslims from radical Islamists. from radical Islamists. from radical Islamists. >> No, no, but to so then that also applies >> No, no, but to so then that also applies >> No, no, but to so then that also applies to Christians. It applies to every to Christians. It applies to every to Christians. It applies to every religion cuz the religion cuz the religion cuz the >> it it applies to every belief system, >> it it applies to every belief system, >> it it applies to every belief system, value system for sure. This is the point value system for sure. This is the point value system for sure. This is the point I'm trying to make about culture. I'm trying to make about culture. I'm trying to make about culture. Everybody is is soaked in a culture Everybody is is soaked in a culture Everybody is is soaked in a culture whether they are religious or not. If whether they are religious or not. If whether they are religious or not. If you grew up in the 80s in America, you you grew up in the 80s in America, you you grew up in the 80s in America, you grew up a wash in a Christian culture. grew up a wash in a Christian culture. grew up a wash in a Christian culture. Even if you were of like the what is it Even if you were of like the what is it Even if you were of like the what is it the Bahigh faith or you were Buddhist or the Bahigh faith or you were Buddhist or the Bahigh faith or you were Buddhist or whatever, you still grew up in a country whatever, you still grew up in a country whatever, you still grew up in a country that where the laws were being made by that where the laws were being made by that where the laws were being made by people who were culturally Christian. people who were culturally Christian. people who were culturally Christian. They're just base assumptions that you They're just base assumptions that you They're just base assumptions that you have because we are all trapped inside have because we are all trapped inside have because we are all trapped inside of a frame of reference and you don't of a frame of reference and you don't of a frame of reference and you don't even realize all the different ways that even realize all the different ways that even realize all the different ways that that is playing out. So, that is playing out. So, that is playing out. So, what I'm trying to get to is yes, your what I'm trying to get to is yes, your what I'm trying to get to is yes, your your country, the policies are going to your country, the policies are going to your country, the policies are going to be influenced by whatever values the be influenced by whatever values the be influenced by whatever values the people hold. And so, if you invite people hold. And so, if you invite people hold. And so, if you invite people into your country that do not people into your country that do not people into your country that do not hold your values and do not want to hold your values and do not want to hold your values and do not want to assimilate to your values, you're going assimilate to your values, you're going assimilate to your values, you're going to have a problem there. There's going to have a problem there. There's going to have a problem there. There's going to be a collision between the new value to be a collision between the new value to be a collision between the new value set and the old value set. set and the old value set. set and the old value set. It it's just that simple. And so what It it's just that simple. And so what It it's just that simple. And so what I'm trying to understand from the I'm trying to understand from the I'm trying to understand from the community is if they're saying, "Well, community is if they're saying, "Well, community is if they're saying, "Well, I'm already being um knocked around by I'm already being um knocked around by I'm already being um knocked around by people who have Christian values and I people who have Christian values and I people who have Christian values and I don't feel good about that." It's like, don't feel good about that." It's like, don't feel good about that." It's like, "Yeah, the value system in America is "Yeah, the value system in America is "Yeah, the value system in America is already beginning to fracture long already beginning to fracture long already beginning to fracture long before this happened." And so the value before this happened." And so the value before this happened." And so the value system that kept America on a more system that kept America on a more system that kept America on a more cohesive path was Christianity. As time cohesive path was Christianity. As time cohesive path was Christianity. As time goes by, as that weakens, you see the goes by, as that weakens, you see the goes by, as that weakens, you see the value system beginning to fracture for value system beginning to fracture for value system beginning to fracture for sure. And so it'll be a question of, sure. And so it'll be a question of, sure. And so it'll be a question of, okay, does that slowly evolve and we okay, does that slowly evolve and we okay, does that slowly evolve and we evolve together and 200 years everything evolve together and 200 years everything evolve together and 200 years everything looks very different, but we're still looks very different, but we're still looks very different, but we're still cohesive and you have minor skirmishes cohesive and you have minor skirmishes cohesive and you have minor skirmishes at the level of um abortion debate at the level of um abortion debate at the level of um abortion debate because keep in mind there's 50 states because keep in mind there's 50 states because keep in mind there's 50 states and all the Supreme Court decision said and all the Supreme Court decision said and all the Supreme Court decision said was the states now get to make their was the states now get to make their was the states now get to make their decision and so people are going to get decision and so people are going to get decision and so people are going to get to vote and yes, you will be beholden to to vote and yes, you will be beholden to to vote and yes, you will be beholden to the people that actually vote what their the people that actually vote what their the people that actually vote what their value system is a thousand%. That's the value system is a thousand%. That's the value system is a thousand%. That's the way this all works. And so what I'm way this all works. And so what I'm way this all works. And so what I'm saying is, do you want to bring in more saying is, do you want to bring in more saying is, do you want to bring in more people that have a different value people that have a different value people that have a different value system than you, or are you like, hey, I system than you, or are you like, hey, I system than you, or are you like, hey, I have a value system that more closely have a value system that more closely have a value system that more closely aligns with Islam. And so I want people aligns with Islam. And so I want people aligns with Islam. And so I want people with Islamic values to come in. And with Islamic values to come in. And with Islamic values to come in. And that's what they're going to fight for, that's what they're going to fight for, that's what they're going to fight for, obviously, because they know if their obviously, because they know if their obviously, because they know if their value system can be the majority, then value system can be the majority, then value system can be the majority, then the laws and the policies and the the laws and the policies and the the laws and the policies and the traditions and customs are all going to traditions and customs are all going to traditions and customs are all going to be aligned with what they want. And so be aligned with what they want. And so be aligned with what they want. And so what I'm saying is the very question we what I'm saying is the very question we what I'm saying is the very question we have to ask and answer is do we believe have to ask and answer is do we believe have to ask and answer is do we believe in what we believe enough to say nope in what we believe enough to say nope in what we believe enough to say nope I'm not bringing people in that don't I'm not bringing people in that don't I'm not bringing people in that don't believe this period and now it's like I'm there I'm with you and now it's like I'm there I'm with you >> it's a period from my side but you're >> it's a period from my side but you're >> it's a period from my side but you're saying there's dissent in chat and so saying there's dissent in chat and so saying there's dissent in chat and so far I've not heard anybody that actually far I've not heard anybody that actually far I've not heard anybody that actually has a cogent argument. They're arguing has a cogent argument. They're arguing has a cogent argument. They're arguing maybe with something in their own head. maybe with something in their own head. maybe with something in their own head. They're arguing with a version of me They're arguing with a version of me They're arguing with a version of me that isn't real. That is certainly that isn't real. That is certainly that isn't real. That is certainly possible. uh they misunderstood my possible. uh they misunderstood my possible. uh they misunderstood my argument. That is certainly possible. argument. That is certainly possible. argument. That is certainly possible. But it's like dude, if that question is But it's like dude, if that question is But it's like dude, if that question is going to be answered and right now the going to be answered and right now the going to be answered and right now the answer is that the answer is that the answer is that the the thing that animates the thing that animates the thing that animates the left in the West right now is a the left in the West right now is a the left in the West right now is a sense of um guilt that we are a a war um sense of um guilt that we are a a war um sense of um guilt that we are a a war um propagating nation and we need to be propagating nation and we need to be propagating nation and we need to be stopped. that the billionaire class has stopped. that the billionaire class has stopped. that the billionaire class has completely bastardized our entire completely bastardized our entire completely bastardized our entire country. Um that the um ownership class country. Um that the um ownership class country. Um that the um ownership class is predatory towards the working class. is predatory towards the working class. is predatory towards the working class. Like that's what animates the left and Like that's what animates the left and Like that's what animates the left and because of that they want people because of that they want people because of that they want people obviously far out on the left but the obviously far out on the left but the obviously far out on the left but the DSA is the life of the Democratic party DSA is the life of the Democratic party DSA is the life of the Democratic party right now. for that you want um brothers right now. for that you want um brothers right now. for that you want um brothers and sisters in revolution and they are and sisters in revolution and they are and sisters in revolution and they are finding that with radical Islam and finding that with radical Islam and finding that with radical Islam and again we've seen this exact pairing play again we've seen this exact pairing play again we've seen this exact pairing play out before. Um, Zayen in the chat, why out before. Um, Zayen in the chat, why out before. Um, Zayen in the chat, why did common values in Europe lead to did common values in Europe lead to did common values in Europe lead to World War I and World War II? World War I and World War II? World War I and World War II? >> That, I think, gets to what is the true >> That, I think, gets to what is the true >> That, I think, gets to what is the true nature of nature of nature of human pettiness, sibling rivalry, human pettiness, sibling rivalry, human pettiness, sibling rivalry, because it was cousins that ended up because it was cousins that ended up because it was cousins that ended up going to war with each other. And so, going to war with each other. And so, going to war with each other. And so, you've got these petty [ __ ] you've got these petty [ __ ] you've got these petty [ __ ] that have now spread out to be the royal that have now spread out to be the royal that have now spread out to be the royal families of different countries, and families of different countries, and families of different countries, and they start fighting with each other. Um, they start fighting with each other. Um, they start fighting with each other. Um, now the specifics of World War I, I'm now the specifics of World War I, I'm now the specifics of World War I, I'm far more familiar with World War II. Um, far more familiar with World War II. Um, far more familiar with World War II. Um, but the specifics of World War I, I I'll but the specifics of World War I, I I'll but the specifics of World War I, I I'll have to defer to historians. But on the have to defer to historians. But on the have to defer to historians. But on the very high level, very high level, very high level, just because you share Christian values just because you share Christian values just because you share Christian values does not mean you feel like you're being does not mean you feel like you're being does not mean you feel like you're being treated fairly or you're getting all of treated fairly or you're getting all of treated fairly or you're getting all of your just desserts. Uh, and so of course your just desserts. Uh, and so of course your just desserts. Uh, and so of course people just like you see in Ireland, you people just like you see in Ireland, you people just like you see in Ireland, you have people that are both Christian, but have people that are both Christian, but have people that are both Christian, but they believe their team is right. And so they believe their team is right. And so they believe their team is right. And so minor differences and interpretations of minor differences and interpretations of minor differences and interpretations of the Bible create wars between them the Bible create wars between them the Bible create wars between them because of the way that the human mind because of the way that the human mind because of the way that the human mind goes. I'm on this team, you're on that goes. I'm on this team, you're on that goes. I'm on this team, you're on that team, and we're now going to fight over team, and we're now going to fight over team, and we're now going to fight over scarce resources. Whether that's land, scarce resources. Whether that's land, scarce resources. Whether that's land, whether that's um just who's in charge. whether that's um just who's in charge. whether that's um just who's in charge. I don't want you to be above me. I'm so I don't want you to be above me. I'm so I don't want you to be above me. I'm so you know we're going to end up you know we're going to end up you know we're going to end up colliding. Economics gets in the mix. colliding. Economics gets in the mix. colliding. Economics gets in the mix. And so if you feel like they're icing And so if you feel like they're icing And so if you feel like they're icing you out of trade or something like that you out of trade or something like that you out of trade or something like that that you're going to push back against that you're going to push back against that you're going to push back against that, you see the same thing in the that, you see the same thing in the that, you see the same thing in the Muslim world where there are two major Muslim world where there are two major Muslim world where there are two major Muslim sects that are fighting against Muslim sects that are fighting against Muslim sects that are fighting against each other. And so you've got the Sunnis each other. And so you've got the Sunnis each other. And so you've got the Sunnis and the Shiites and it's like they're and the Shiites and it's like they're and the Shiites and it's like they're going to war even though technically going to war even though technically going to war even though technically they believe in the same book. So it's they believe in the same book. So it's they believe in the same book. So it's going to come down to interpretations. going to come down to interpretations. going to come down to interpretations. People think that humans are making People think that humans are making People think that humans are making contact with ground facts when in fact contact with ground facts when in fact contact with ground facts when in fact rarely do humans make contact with rarely do humans make contact with rarely do humans make contact with ground facts. We're normally making ground facts. We're normally making ground facts. We're normally making contact with interpretation. And so contact with interpretation. And so contact with interpretation. And so people become convinced their people become convinced their people become convinced their interpretation is right, is just, it's interpretation is right, is just, it's interpretation is right, is just, it's what God wants. And they're willing to what God wants. And they're willing to what God wants. And they're willing to go to war with the other side. Ireland go to war with the other side. Ireland go to war with the other side. Ireland across the Middle East, it it just it is across the Middle East, it it just it is across the Middle East, it it just it is what it is. But that's a that's a all of what it is. But that's a that's a all of what it is. But that's a that's a all of this is human pettiness. Even the fact this is human pettiness. Even the fact this is human pettiness. Even the fact that we steer by value system is a is an that we steer by value system is a is an that we steer by value system is a is an artifact of the human mind. And artifact of the human mind. And artifact of the human mind. And remember, I don't believe there is a remember, I don't believe there is a remember, I don't believe there is a god. So, you've got this whole thing god. So, you've got this whole thing god. So, you've got this whole thing where it's like all of this is explained where it's like all of this is explained where it's like all of this is explained by the human mind. Religion is just a by the human mind. Religion is just a by the human mind. Religion is just a layer that rides on it. layer that rides on it. layer that rides on it. Got it. Uh to me, the DSA is more of a Got it. Uh to me, the DSA is more of a Got it. Uh to me, the DSA is more of a stronger argument for this because they stronger argument for this because they stronger argument for this because they actually have principles and actually have principles and actually have principles and working toward dismantling things that working toward dismantling things that working toward dismantling things that are American fundamentalist. I think are American fundamentalist. I think are American fundamentalist. I think every time a Muslim does anything around every time a Muslim does anything around every time a Muslim does anything around the world, we have the same the world, we have the same the world, we have the same conversation. Um, whereas the DSA, conversation. Um, whereas the DSA, conversation. Um, whereas the DSA, >> do you think it's the wrong >> do you think it's the wrong >> do you think it's the wrong conversation?

Remember, America was founded on one driving core principle founded on one driving core principle founded on one driving core principle that power corrupts. And if you that power corrupts. And if you that power corrupts. And if you understand that you both need a understand that you both need a understand that you both need a government and must fear that the government and must fear that the government and must fear that the government is prone to tyranny, that the government is prone to tyranny, that the government is prone to tyranny, that the government itself will become tyrannical government itself will become tyrannical government itself will become tyrannical over time and you must protect yourself over time and you must protect yourself over time and you must protect yourself from it. They did not make a republic on from it. They did not make a republic on from it. They did not make a republic on accident. They made it very much on accident. They made it very much on accident. They made it very much on purpose to have checks and balances to purpose to have checks and balances to purpose to have checks and balances to keep any one person from coming into keep any one person from coming into keep any one person from coming into office and then just absolutely wreaking office and then just absolutely wreaking office and then just absolutely wreaking havoc. Now, if you absolutely hate havoc. Now, if you absolutely hate havoc. Now, if you absolutely hate Trump, you need to be very grateful for Trump, you need to be very grateful for Trump, you need to be very grateful for the founders who were designed or the founders who were designed or the founders who were designed or designed a government to protect you designed a government to protect you designed a government to protect you from things like that. Now, take the from things like that. Now, take the from things like that. Now, take the Senate specifically. The way that the Senate specifically. The way that the Senate specifically. The way that the Senate works is every state, no matter Senate works is every state, no matter Senate works is every state, no matter how big, no matter how small, they get how big, no matter how small, they get how big, no matter how small, they get two representatives. And the reason that two representatives. And the reason that two representatives. And the reason that you do that is even though you might you do that is even though you might you do that is even though you might have a state that has a much smaller have a state that has a much smaller have a state that has a much smaller population, it allows the minority to population, it allows the minority to population, it allows the minority to fight back against a majority that would fight back against a majority that would fight back against a majority that would otherwise tyrannize them because they otherwise tyrannize them because they otherwise tyrannize them because they have more power. The weirdest thing in have more power. The weirdest thing in have more power. The weirdest thing in the world is that every government must the world is that every government must the world is that every government must become very muscular so that they can become very muscular so that they can become very muscular so that they can defend themselves against enemies, defend themselves against enemies, defend themselves against enemies, foreign and domestic. And at the same foreign and domestic. And at the same foreign and domestic. And at the same time, they need to check themselves so time, they need to check themselves so time, they need to check themselves so that they don't become the very monster that they don't become the very monster that they don't become the very monster that they're trying to fight back that they're trying to fight back that they're trying to fight back against. And this is like when I hear against. And this is like when I hear against. And this is like when I hear people go to bat for China, I'm just people go to bat for China, I'm just people go to bat for China, I'm just like, what are we talking about? You like, what are we talking about? You like, what are we talking about? You have a government there where the second have a government there where the second have a government there where the second Xi has a bad idea, he can just Xi has a bad idea, he can just Xi has a bad idea, he can just completely drive the country off a cliff completely drive the country off a cliff completely drive the country off a cliff and anybody that goes against him is and anybody that goes against him is and anybody that goes against him is just shot and killed. Okay, we saw this just shot and killed. Okay, we saw this just shot and killed. Okay, we saw this play out in Iran. somewhere between a play out in Iran. somewhere between a play out in Iran. somewhere between a couple thousand on up to 50,000 couple thousand on up to 50,000 couple thousand on up to 50,000 depending on whose numbers you believe depending on whose numbers you believe depending on whose numbers you believe were just killed in the street. Now were just killed in the street. Now were just killed in the street. Now imagine for a second that Trump when he imagine for a second that Trump when he imagine for a second that Trump when he took over DC and he had the National took over DC and he had the National took over DC and he had the National Guard in there. Imagine that to get Guard in there. Imagine that to get Guard in there. Imagine that to get control of it he killed 2,500 people control of it he killed 2,500 people control of it he killed 2,500 people which I don't think anybody disputes which I don't think anybody disputes which I don't think anybody disputes that number out of Iran. Now imagine he that number out of Iran. Now imagine he that number out of Iran. Now imagine he killed 50,000 people. How freaked out killed 50,000 people. How freaked out killed 50,000 people. How freaked out would people be? But that's exactly what would people be? But that's exactly what would people be? But that's exactly what happens when you don't have checks and happens when you don't have checks and happens when you don't have checks and balances. The DSA wants to get rid of balances. The DSA wants to get rid of balances. The DSA wants to get rid of your checks and balances. So they don't your checks and balances. So they don't your checks and balances. So they don't want the minority to be able to speak up want the minority to be able to speak up want the minority to be able to speak up for itself because they believe that for itself because they believe that for itself because they believe that they're right. They believe that they they're right. They believe that they they're right. They believe that they have the right way that everything have the right way that everything have the right way that everything should be done. They are power hungry. should be done. They are power hungry. should be done. They are power hungry. They want power. You cannot understand They want power. You cannot understand They want power. You cannot understand radical leftists radical leftists radical leftists throughout history. Forget our people on throughout history. Forget our people on throughout history. Forget our people on the left. You can't understand radical the left. You can't understand radical the left.

Once be the people that are in power. Once you understand that, now you're going to you understand that, now you're going to you understand that, now you're going to understand the things that they put understand the things that they put understand the things that they put forward and the ways that they move. forward and the ways that they move. forward and the ways that they move. They have to get rid of the Senate so They have to get rid of the Senate so They have to get rid of the Senate so that they can you get rid of borders. that they can you get rid of borders. that they can you get rid of borders.

You know immigrate into the country. You know immigrate into the country. You know that they're going to want free things that they're going to want free things that they're going to want free things from the government. And so you get them from the government. And so you get them from the government. And so you get them in, you get rid of the Senate, so the in, you get rid of the Senate, so the in, you get rid of the Senate, so the minority can't fight back. You've now minority can't fight back. You've now minority can't fight back. You've now got majority population because you got got majority population because you got got majority population because you got rid of your borders and you made rid of your borders and you made rid of your borders and you made everybody citizens. And now it just everybody citizens. And now it just everybody citizens. And now it just comes down to what state has the most comes down to what state has the most comes down to what state has the most people. Cities tend to be the most people. Cities tend to be the most people. Cities tend to be the most left-leaning and be the most populous. left-leaning and be the most populous. left-leaning and be the most populous. And so now they're going to then run And so now they're going to then run And so now they're going to then run those cities with rent freezes and those cities with rent freezes and those cities with rent freezes and handouts. And just as a reminder, uh 47% handouts. And just as a reminder, uh 47% handouts. And just as a reminder, uh 47% of the US government right now goes to of the US government right now goes to of the US government right now goes to entitlements, goes to programs where entitlements, goes to programs where entitlements, goes to programs where we're giving people stuff. Uh as a we're giving people stuff. Uh as a we're giving people stuff. Uh as a reminder, in the last 10 years, the US reminder, in the last 10 years, the US reminder, in the last 10 years, the US um budget has nearly doubled. So we are um budget has nearly doubled. So we are um budget has nearly doubled. So we are bringing in people from all around the bringing in people from all around the bringing in people from all around the world. We are giving them access to world. We are giving them access to world. We are giving them access to government programs. we are um government programs. we are um government programs. we are um experiencing the largest uh workforce experiencing the largest uh workforce experiencing the largest uh workforce reduction in American history. So more reduction in American history. So more reduction in American history. So more people are saying no I just want the people are saying no I just want the people are saying no I just want the government to take care of me citizen or government to take care of me citizen or government to take care of me citizen or not. And so that is the goal of the not. And so that is the goal of the not. And so that is the goal of the left. Make the government bigger and left. Make the government bigger and left. Make the government bigger and bigger and bigger. Strip out the bigger and bigger. Strip out the bigger and bigger. Strip out the minority's ability to protect protect minority's ability to protect protect minority's ability to protect protect itself. Get rid of the borders. Get rid itself. Get rid of the borders. Get rid itself. Get rid of the borders. Get rid of law enforcement. and you create a of law enforcement. and you create a of law enforcement. and you create a situation where everybody ends up having situation where everybody ends up having situation where everybody ends up having to rely on a government that is to rely on a government that is to rely on a government that is completely delusional about how you make completely delusional about how you make completely delusional about how you make things safe, how you make things things safe, how you make things things safe, how you make things prosperous. And so we will end up if we prosperous. And so we will end up if we prosperous. And so we will end up if we continue down this road, we will end up continue down this road, we will end up continue down this road, we will end up in the exact same place that places like in the exact same place that places like in the exact same place that places like Cuba have ended up, China under Mao Cuba have ended up, China under Mao Cuba have ended up, China under Mao ended up, uh Russia, the USSR under um ended up, uh Russia, the USSR under um ended up, uh Russia, the USSR under um the communist regime. It it is so crazy the communist regime. It it is so crazy the communist regime. It it is so crazy that a they don't understand the economy that a they don't understand the economy that a they don't understand the economy at all. Uh b that they are so blinded by at all.

Uh b that they are so blinded by their own resentment resentment that they cannot or will not see that that they cannot or will not see that that they cannot or will not see that this will be completely destructive to this will be completely destructive to this will be completely destructive to all the things that ended up pulling all the things that ended up pulling all the things that ended up pulling people out of poverty the world over, people out of poverty the world over, people out of poverty the world over, not just in America. This this is a not just in America. This this is a not just in America. This this is a massive threat. This in terms of you massive threat. This in terms of you massive threat. This in terms of you want to talk about things we have to want to talk about things we have to want to talk about things we have to protect ourselves against. This one's protect ourselves against. This one's protect ourselves against. This one's massive. Massive. And to your point, I massive. Massive. And to your point, I massive. Massive. And to your point, I want to kind of double down cuz unlike want to kind of double down cuz unlike want to kind of double down cuz unlike the Muslim um year thing where it's a 10 the Muslim um year thing where it's a 10 the Muslim um year thing where it's a 10 year to 30 year problem and we have to year to 30 year problem and we have to year to 30 year problem and we have to figure out when it would actually hit figure out when it would actually hit figure out when it would actually hit come to a head.

So keep in mind the Jews end up doing it in Israel. So uh Jews end up doing it in Israel. So uh Jews end up doing it in Israel. So uh you know I if if you want to ask you know I if if you want to ask you know I if if you want to ask yourself well is there a historical yourself well is there a historical yourself well is there a historical precedent for this working? The answer precedent for this working? The answer precedent for this working? The answer is yes. Uh so that's where I'm just is yes. Uh so that's where I'm just is yes. Uh so that's where I'm just like, boys and girls, it may be small like, boys and girls, it may be small like, boys and girls, it may be small now, but you've got to play this stuff now, but you've got to play this stuff now, but you've got to play this stuff out. Uh and so if you want that ideology out. Uh and so if you want that ideology out. Uh and so if you want that ideology to take over, hey, fair enough. But the to take over, hey, fair enough. But the to take over, hey, fair enough. But the thing about the DSA that I really want thing about the DSA that I really want thing about the DSA that I really want people to understand, this is not a people to understand, this is not a people to understand, this is not a couple primaries. This the couple couple primaries. This the couple couple primaries. This the couple primaries are the bamboo shoots finally primaries are the bamboo shoots finally primaries are the bamboo shoots finally breaking the surface. So if you guys breaking the surface. So if you guys breaking the surface. So if you guys know how bamboo grows, it takes 5 years know how bamboo grows, it takes 5 years know how bamboo grows, it takes 5 years roughly for the ball of um roots to grow roughly for the ball of um roots to grow roughly for the ball of um roots to grow under the ground. So when you first under the ground. So when you first under the ground. So when you first plant bamboo, it looks like nothing is plant bamboo, it looks like nothing is plant bamboo, it looks like nothing is happening for year after year after happening for year after year after happening for year after year after year. And then all of a sudden, it year. And then all of a sudden, it year. And then all of a sudden, it breaks ground and it'll grow. I forget breaks ground and it'll grow. I forget breaks ground and it'll grow. I forget how much, but it's like 3 feet in a year how much, but it's like 3 feet in a year how much, but it's like 3 feet in a year or something. It's just absolutely or something. It's just absolutely or something. It's just absolutely insane. And so after a couple of years, insane. And so after a couple of years, insane. And so after a couple of years, you just have bamboo everywhere. It's you just have bamboo everywhere. It's you just have bamboo everywhere. It's considered an invasive species because considered an invasive species because considered an invasive species because once it gets in, man, it is just hard to once it gets in, man, it is just hard to once it gets in, man, it is just hard to stop and it grows so fast because you stop and it grows so fast because you stop and it grows so fast because you don't know it's there and then all of a don't know it's there and then all of a don't know it's there and then all of a sudden it's just shooting up. So that's sudden it's just shooting up. So that's sudden it's just shooting up. So that's the stage we are at with radical leftist the stage we are at with radical leftist the stage we are at with radical leftist ideology. It has been working its way ideology. It has been working its way ideology. It has been working its way through the education system, through through the education system, through through the education system, through the judiciary system for so long now the judiciary system for so long now the judiciary system for so long now that we're finally just becoming aware that we're finally just becoming aware that we're finally just becoming aware of it. But the problem is that it's been of it. But the problem is that it's been of it. But the problem is that it's been growing literally for decades on decades growing literally for decades on decades growing literally for decades on decades on decades. And so this is not something on decades. And so this is not something on decades. And so this is not something that people should be taking lightly. that people should be taking lightly. that people should be taking lightly. The only thing that I hold to with a bit The only thing that I hold to with a bit The only thing that I hold to with a bit of hope is that right now it unless this of hope is that right now it unless this of hope is that right now it unless this is propaganda, the Democrat party is is propaganda, the Democrat party is is propaganda, the Democrat party is having a very hard time getting funded. having a very hard time getting funded. having a very hard time getting funded. And so they just had to borrow against And so they just had to borrow against And so they just had to borrow against their own um real estate in order to their own um real estate in order to their own um real estate in order to raise I think 10 or 15 million dollars raise I think 10 or 15 million dollars raise I think 10 or 15 million dollars in debt compared to the Republicans that in debt compared to the Republicans that in debt compared to the Republicans that have like 120 plus million dollars. Um, have like 120 plus million dollars. Um, have like 120 plus million dollars. Um, so my hope is that the everyday Democrat so my hope is that the everyday Democrat so my hope is that the everyday Democrat um, liberal is not succumbing to the um, liberal is not succumbing to the um, liberal is not succumbing to the far-left ideology that will break far-left ideology that will break far-left ideology that will break everything that has brought us everything that has brought us everything that has brought us prosperity. prosperity. prosperity. with political movements oftentimes they with political movements oftentimes they with political movements oftentimes they get the most I think the reason I keep get the most I think the reason I keep get the most I think the reason I keep banging the same drum is we talk about banging the same drum is we talk about banging the same drum is we talk about institutions we talk about professors institutions we talk about professors institutions we talk about professors but the last time we had a scourge of but the last time we had a scourge of but the last time we had a scourge of communism in the 70s and ' 80s that's communism in the 70s and ' 80s that's communism in the 70s and ' 80s that's when the American dream uh marketing when the American dream uh marketing when the American dream uh marketing campaign from the mortgage companies campaign from the mortgage companies campaign from the mortgage companies ramped up we had a bunch of people who ramped up we had a bunch of people who ramped up we had a bunch of people who got into houses and as soon as you buy a got into houses and as soon as you buy a got into houses and as soon as you buy a house as soon as you have to pay a house as soon as you have to pay a house as soon as you have to pay a mortgage there's studies that show you mortgage there's studies that show you mortgage there's studies that show you automatically care about your neighbors automatically care about your neighbors automatically care about your neighbors you start voting in more local and you start voting in more local and you start voting in more local and political um elections you contribute political um elections you contribute political um elections you contribute more to local schools. It physically more to local schools. It physically more to local schools. It physically gives you a buy into the territory which gives you a buy into the territory which gives you a buy into the territory which you step in. So, it's one of those you step in. So, it's one of those you step in. So, it's one of those things where right now we have a bunch things where right now we have a bunch things where right now we have a bunch of young people who have no access to of young people who have no access to of young people who have no access to get on the capitalism ladder because get on the capitalism ladder because get on the capitalism ladder because they're either working a they can't even they're either working a they can't even they're either working a they can't even get a mall job cuz now we have grown 40 get a mall job cuz now we have grown 40 get a mall job cuz now we have grown 40 56 year olds. I was at Universal um last 56 year olds. I was at Universal um last 56 year olds. I was at Universal um last week and I was perplexed by how many week and I was perplexed by how many week and I was perplexed by how many like grown adults work at Universal. like grown adults work at Universal. like grown adults work at Universal. Like, and this is no shade to them, Like, and this is no shade to them, Like, and this is no shade to them, everybody. But life is hard. I get it. everybody. But life is hard. I get it. everybody. But life is hard. I get it. But when I was growing up, amusement But when I was growing up, amusement But when I was growing up, amusement parks was a 16 year old a 16 to 21 year parks was a 16 year old a 16 to 21 year parks was a 16 year old a 16 to 21 year old job. And now you have people 40 with old job. And now you have people 40 with old job. And now you have people 40 with kids working at Universal. So when you kids working at Universal. So when you kids working at Universal. So when you have people who are been grinding and have people who are been grinding and have people who are been grinding and toiling for their life and they can't toiling for their life and they can't toiling for their life and they can't get off, they can't get a ladder. They get off, they can't get a ladder. They get off, they can't get a ladder. They don't have a buy into capitalism. They don't have a buy into capitalism. They don't have a buy into capitalism. They don't care about capitalism. It's not don't care about capitalism. It's not don't care about capitalism. It's not working for them. They have nothing. So working for them. They have nothing. So working for them. They have nothing.

So, I just how they impact the game. So, I just how they impact the game. So, I just think we we're going to talk about this think we we're going to talk about this think we we're going to talk about this a lot. The more that the wealth a lot. The more that the wealth a lot. The more that the wealth inequality grows, the more that people inequality grows, the more that people inequality grows, the more that people are feeling behind on their bills, the are feeling behind on their bills, the are feeling behind on their bills, the more that private debt, not private more that private debt, not private more that private debt, not private equity, like private household debt, the equity, like private household debt, the equity, like private household debt, the more credit cards that get maxed, the more credit cards that get maxed, the more credit cards that get maxed, the more people are like, "Well, if we kill more people are like, "Well, if we kill more people are like, "Well, if we kill capitalism, I don't have to worry about capitalism, I don't have to worry about capitalism, I don't have to worry about paying my rent anymore." and they're paying my rent anymore." and they're paying my rent anymore." and they're just going to start creating fantasies just going to start creating fantasies just going to start creating fantasies of a world that doesn't exist because of a world that doesn't exist because of a world that doesn't exist because they can't participate in the world that they can't participate in the world that they can't participate in the world that they're currently a part of. they're currently a part of. they're currently a part of. >> Agreed.

So history has ever been impoverished. So history has ever been impoverished. So the part that people miss is um that the part that people miss is um that the part that people miss is um that when leftist ideology takes place and when leftist ideology takes place and when leftist ideology takes place and everything that Drew just said is right, everything that Drew just said is right, everything that Drew just said is right, but it's the cure. It's not the disease. but it's the cure. It's not the disease. but it's the cure. It's not the disease. So what ends up happening is you leftist So what ends up happening is you leftist So what ends up happening is you leftist ideology is born out of resentment. It ideology is born out of resentment. It ideology is born out of resentment. It is born out of an overproduction of is born out of an overproduction of is born out of an overproduction of elites. Go back and look at the French elites. Go back and look at the French elites. Go back and look at the French Revolution. Go back and look at Marx. Revolution. Go back and look at Marx. Revolution. Go back and look at Marx. The whole problem is you try to get the The whole problem is you try to get the The whole problem is you try to get the workers to rise up and the workers don't workers to rise up and the workers don't workers to rise up and the workers don't rise up because they aren't filled with rise up because they aren't filled with rise up because they aren't filled with resentment. They are busy trying to resentment. They are busy trying to resentment. They are busy trying to raise their families, trying to work, raise their families, trying to work, raise their families, trying to work, trying to get things done, creating and trying to get things done, creating and trying to get things done, creating and making things. And what ends up making things. And what ends up making things. And what ends up happening is you get to the point where happening is you get to the point where happening is you get to the point where you tell every kid that they need to go you tell every kid that they need to go you tell every kid that they need to go and be a part of the elite class. They and be a part of the elite class. They and be a part of the elite class. They need to go get an education. And so they need to go get an education. And so they need to go get an education. And so they go in and you get this surplus of people go in and you get this surplus of people go in and you get this surplus of people that take in a modern context now you that take in a modern context now you that take in a modern context now you they take on an absolute metric [ __ ] ton they take on an absolute metric [ __ ] ton they take on an absolute metric [ __ ] ton of debt and they come out and they can't of debt and they come out and they can't of debt and they come out and they can't get a job that pays well enough to deal get a job that pays well enough to deal get a job that pays well enough to deal with their debt. And while they were in with their debt. And while they were in with their debt. And while they were in the education system, they were told the education system, they were told the education system, they were told over and over and over that um the this over and over and over that um the this over and over and over that um the this is an oppressed oppressor narrative. is an oppressed oppressor narrative. is an oppressed oppressor narrative. That's how the world works. The world is That's how the world works. The world is That's how the world works. The world is entirely about power. That's all that entirely about power. That's all that entirely about power. That's all that matters. And so everybody starts going, matters. And so everybody starts going, matters. And so everybody starts going, "Oh, wait a second. The oppressed are "Oh, wait a second. The oppressed are "Oh, wait a second. The oppressed are the good people. then I need to figure the good people. then I need to figure the good people. then I need to figure out how I'm oppressed. And you'll get out how I'm oppressed. And you'll get out how I'm oppressed. And you'll get people to actually stand up and read people to actually stand up and read people to actually stand up and read like I'm the intersection of all these like I'm the intersection of all these like I'm the intersection of all these eight different things like it. That eight different things like it. That eight different things like it. That [ __ ] is wild. But if you've been told [ __ ] is wild. But if you've been told [ __ ] is wild. But if you've been told that that's the only way to be a good that that's the only way to be a good that that's the only way to be a good just person, which everybody is going to just person, which everybody is going to just person, which everybody is going to want to believe that they are a good and want to believe that they are a good and want to believe that they are a good and just person, then they're going to find just person, then they're going to find just person, then they're going to find if the dominant paradigm in education is if the dominant paradigm in education is if the dominant paradigm in education is that, hey, you better figure out how that, hey, you better figure out how that, hey, you better figure out how you've been oppressed. They're going to you've been oppressed. They're going to you've been oppressed. They're going to come out wanting to say, well, [ __ ] I'm come out wanting to say, well, [ __ ] I'm come out wanting to say, well, [ __ ] I'm a victim of the whole US [ __ ] a victim of the whole US [ __ ] a victim of the whole US [ __ ] government. I'm a victim of capitalism. government. I'm a victim of capitalism. government. I'm a victim of capitalism. You got to tear all this down. And I'm a You got to tear all this down. And I'm a You got to tear all this down. And I'm a victim, too, man. Regardless of the fact victim, too, man. Regardless of the fact victim, too, man. Regardless of the fact that my family's wealthy, like I come that my family's wealthy, like I come that my family's wealthy, like I come out of this and and look, dude, mom out of this and and look, dude, mom out of this and and look, dude, mom Donnie grew up [ __ ] wealthy. Mom Donnie grew up [ __ ] wealthy. Mom Donnie grew up [ __ ] wealthy. Mom Donnie grew up in Uganda. Kids, do you Donnie grew up in Uganda. Kids, do you Donnie grew up in Uganda. Kids, do you know the story of Uganda? You think know the story of Uganda? You think know the story of Uganda? You think Israel is out of pocket? Ugandans, uh, Israel is out of pocket? Ugandans, uh, Israel is out of pocket? Ugandans, uh, Indians living in Uganda represent, I Indians living in Uganda represent, I Indians living in Uganda represent, I think, 1% of the population and they think, 1% of the population and they think, 1% of the population and they control something like 60% of the control something like 60% of the control something like 60% of the economic dollars. That's M Donnie, okay? economic dollars. That's M Donnie, okay? economic dollars. That's M Donnie, okay? That's what he comes out of. But still That's what he comes out of. But still That's what he comes out of. But still finds a way to be [ __ ] oppressed. finds a way to be [ __ ] oppressed. finds a way to be [ __ ] oppressed. That [ __ ] is wild, man. That is wild. That [ __ ] is wild, man. That is wild. That [ __ ] is wild, man. That is wild. And so when you tell people the only way And so when you tell people the only way And so when you tell people the only way to be good and just is to be oppressed, to be good and just is to be oppressed, to be good and just is to be oppressed, well, if I wasn't oppressed well, if I wasn't oppressed well, if I wasn't oppressed economically, then I've got to be economically, then I've got to be economically, then I've got to be oppressed some other way. It is crazy. oppressed some other way. It is crazy. oppressed some other way. It is crazy. So, we are up against that. They are So, we are up against that. They are So, we are up against that. They are being taught that. They come out with being taught that. They come out with being taught that. They come out with that mentality. So, yes, they then come that mentality. So, yes, they then come that mentality. So, yes, they then come out of that and they're in a position out of that and they're in a position out of that and they're in a position where they're going to struggle in the where they're going to struggle in the where they're going to struggle in the economy because we're doing dumb [ __ ] economy because we're doing dumb [ __ ] economy because we're doing dumb [ __ ] by the way, uh doing things like by the way, uh doing things like by the way, uh doing things like increasing the um increasing the um increasing the um the minimum wage, throwing that into the the minimum wage, throwing that into the the minimum wage, throwing that into the trees so that people can't get a basic trees so that people can't get a basic trees so that people can't get a basic job as a teenager because as you raise job as a teenager because as you raise job as a teenager because as you raise the cost of that early entry labor, you the cost of that early entry labor, you the cost of that early entry labor, you start asking yourself, am I going to start asking yourself, am I going to start asking yourself, am I going to give it to the person that doesn't know give it to the person that doesn't know give it to the person that doesn't know anything about what they're doing or am anything about what they're doing or am anything about what they're doing or am I going to give it to the older guy that I going to give it to the older guy that I going to give it to the older guy that is going to be a little bit wiser, uh is going to be a little bit wiser, uh is going to be a little bit wiser, uh more emotionally mature? You also get more emotionally mature? You also get more emotionally mature? You also get into the inflation of it all where you into the inflation of it all where you into the inflation of it all where you make it such that inflation is running make it such that inflation is running make it such that inflation is running away and I'll just really point at COVID away and I'll just really point at COVID away and I'll just really point at COVID here. You make asinine decisions to lock here. You make asinine decisions to lock here. You make asinine decisions to lock everybody down and then on top of that everybody down and then on top of that everybody down and then on top of that you pump way more money into the you pump way more money into the you pump way more money into the economy. Even like people that wanted economy. Even like people that wanted economy. Even like people that wanted money pumped in the economy were like money pumped in the economy were like money pumped in the economy were like hey this is a lot like a lot a lot. And hey this is a lot like a lot a lot. And hey this is a lot like a lot a lot. And you put it in without creating more you put it in without creating more you put it in without creating more goods because everybody's locked up. So goods because everybody's locked up. So goods because everybody's locked up. So you've got fewer goods being chased by you've got fewer goods being chased by you've got fewer goods being chased by more dollars. You get 30% inflation that more dollars. You get 30% inflation that more dollars. You get 30% inflation that never comes back down and nimism around never comes back down and nimism around never comes back down and nimism around housing. You've got the government housing. You've got the government housing. You've got the government wanting to get bigger and bigger and wanting to get bigger and bigger and wanting to get bigger and bigger and bigger and how does a bureaucrat make bigger and how does a bureaucrat make bigger and how does a bureaucrat make their existence justifiable? They say we their existence justifiable? They say we their existence justifiable? They say we need more regulations. And so now you've need more regulations. And so now you've need more regulations. And so now you've got not only have we told this stupid got not only have we told this stupid got not only have we told this stupid story about your house should be your story about your house should be your story about your house should be your biggest investment for reasons I've biggest investment for reasons I've biggest investment for reasons I've explained adnauseium. It's the only explained adnauseium. It's the only explained adnauseium. It's the only asset that people understand asset that people understand asset that people understand intuitively. But hey, just buy into that intuitively. But hey, just buy into that intuitively. But hey, just buy into that and things are going to get better, and things are going to get better, and things are going to get better, which allows us to go over here and which allows us to go over here and which allows us to go over here and print money until the end of time print money until the end of time print money until the end of time because hey, you were supposed to get a because hey, you were supposed to get a because hey, you were supposed to get a house. Not thinking through the fact house. Not thinking through the fact house. Not thinking through the fact that, well, that works for the people that, well, that works for the people that, well, that works for the people that have a house, but now you can't that have a house, but now you can't that have a house, but now you can't build a bunch of houses because if you build a bunch of houses because if you build a bunch of houses because if you do that, you're going to either hold the do that, you're going to either hold the do that, you're going to either hold the value flat of the people that dig it in value flat of the people that dig it in value flat of the people that dig it in or lower the value. And so there are or lower the value. And so there are or lower the value. And so there are derangements everywhere you look. But if derangements everywhere you look. But if derangements everywhere you look. But if we try to say that having people come up we try to say that having people come up we try to say that having people come up through the system being told you better through the system being told you better through the system being told you better find out how you're a victim and that if find out how you're a victim and that if find out how you're a victim and that if the easy way to be a victim is to have a the easy way to be a victim is to have a the easy way to be a victim is to have a race that isn't white and you're white, race that isn't white and you're white, race that isn't white and you're white, well then you're going to find something well then you're going to find something well then you're going to find something and capitalism becomes the easy thing. and capitalism becomes the easy thing. and capitalism becomes the easy thing. Well, I'm a victim of capitalism. And so Well, I'm a victim of capitalism. And so Well, I'm a victim of capitalism. And so now you get all the [ __ ] overeducated now you get all the [ __ ] overeducated now you get all the [ __ ] overeducated white kids banging the drum as hard as white kids banging the drum as hard as white kids banging the drum as hard as anybody else about we have this problem. anybody else about we have this problem. anybody else about we have this problem. you you have to diffuse that bomb at the you you have to diffuse that bomb at the you you have to diffuse that bomb at the same time that you fix the economy. Now, same time that you fix the economy. Now, same time that you fix the economy. Now, I can nobody who's paying attention and I can nobody who's paying attention and I can nobody who's paying attention and nobody who's being sincere will say that nobody who's being sincere will say that nobody who's being sincere will say that I don't talk about the economy. I I don't talk about the economy. I I don't talk about the economy. I [clears throat] talk about the economy [clears throat] talk about the economy [clears throat] talk about the economy non-fucking stop. So, it is uh the thing non-fucking stop. So, it is uh the thing non-fucking stop. So, it is uh the thing that I spend the vast majority of my that I spend the vast majority of my that I spend the vast majority of my time on making sure that I can explain time on making sure that I can explain time on making sure that I can explain this to people and figure out for myself this to people and figure out for myself this to people and figure out for myself exactly to the [ __ ] depths bowels of exactly to the [ __ ] depths bowels of exactly to the [ __ ] depths bowels of the economy exactly how this works. Uh the economy exactly how this works. Uh the economy exactly how this works. Uh so, I can't be bamboozled. But man, you so, I can't be bamboozled. But man, you so, I can't be bamboozled. But man, you cannot solve just one of those problems cannot solve just one of those problems cannot solve just one of those problems because you will see the same loop play because you will see the same loop play because you will see the same loop play over and over and over if people are over and over and over if people are over and over and over if people are taught to make sure that they figure out taught to make sure that they figure out taught to make sure that they figure out in what way they are a victim. Uh this in what way they are a victim. Uh this in what way they are a victim. Uh this is from Rupa Ruse. This is a common is from Rupa Ruse. This is a common is from Rupa Ruse.

And there were times where I couldn't pay all my bills, times where I couldn't pay all my bills, times where I couldn't pay all my bills, where I was getting disconnection where I was getting disconnection where I was getting disconnection notices, and I would pay one bill one notices, and I would pay one bill one notices, and I would pay one bill one month and then the next and bounce back month and then the next and bounce back month and then the next and bounce back and forth. So, listen, I get it. I know and forth. So, listen, I get it. I know and forth. So, listen, I get it. I know what it's like to literally not be able what it's like to literally not be able what it's like to literally not be able to make ends meet. I know what it's like to make ends meet. I know what it's like to make ends meet. I know what it's like to have to eat really uh lame food that to have to eat really uh lame food that to have to eat really uh lame food that you can buy in bulk quantity. I you can buy in bulk quantity. I you can buy in bulk quantity. I understand all of that stuff. But understand all of that stuff. But understand all of that stuff. But because my frame of reference was, well, because my frame of reference was, well, because my frame of reference was, well, [ __ ] you better make this work. [ __ ] you better make this work. [ __ ] you better make this work. You better find something out. And You better find something out. And You better find something out. And because I had the belief that I could be because I had the belief that I could be because I had the belief that I could be anything that I wanted to be, that I was anything that I wanted to be, that I was anything that I wanted to be, that I was in the greatest system of all time, I in the greatest system of all time, I in the greatest system of all time, I just had to figure out what I was going just had to figure out what I was going just had to figure out what I was going to add to the world that was valuable to add to the world that was valuable to add to the world that was valuable enough that people would pay me for it. enough that people would pay me for it. enough that people would pay me for it. And so I was obsessed with skill And so I was obsessed with skill And so I was obsessed with skill acquisition. I was obsessed with trying acquisition. I was obsessed with trying acquisition. I was obsessed with trying to build something on my own. And as it to build something on my own. And as it to build something on my own. And as it turned out, I actually was a temporarily turned out, I actually was a temporarily turned out, I actually was a temporarily embarrassed non-millionaire or embarrassed non-millionaire or embarrassed non-millionaire or millionaire. So having that mentality is millionaire. So having that mentality is millionaire. So having that mentality is the only thing that puts you on the the only thing that puts you on the the only thing that puts you on the right path. It doesn't mean that right path. It doesn't mean that right path. It doesn't mean that everybody is going to make it. It is so everybody is going to make it. It is so everybody is going to make it. It is so hard to achieve that level of success, hard to achieve that level of success, hard to achieve that level of success, but it does put you in the right mind but it does put you in the right mind but it does put you in the right mind state of, wait, I worked for this. I state of, wait, I worked for this. I state of, wait, I worked for this. I want to keep this. I don't want people want to keep this. I don't want people want to keep this.

Now I think it is were trying to avoid. Now I think it is were trying to avoid. Now I think it is a without additional information of a without additional information of a without additional information of where Iran was from building up their where Iran was from building up their where Iran was from building up their ballistic missile capabilities and ballistic missile capabilities and ballistic missile capabilities and whether they were putting themselves in whether they were putting themselves in whether they were putting themselves in a position where they were going so a position where they were going so a position where they were going so underground that they would they were underground that they would they were underground that they would they were either almost at or actually already at either almost at or actually already at either almost at or actually already at the point that they could bully the point that they could bully the point that they could bully everybody by burying their missiles um everybody by burying their missiles um everybody by burying their missiles um that they could then go to a nuclear that they could then go to a nuclear that they could then go to a nuclear weapon because nobody would be able to weapon because nobody would be able to weapon because nobody would be able to stop them. And by the way, we're stop them. And by the way, we're stop them. And by the way, we're watching that play out. We may already watching that play out. We may already watching that play out. We may already be there. Okay. So, for anybody that be there. Okay. So, for anybody that be there. Okay. So, for anybody that tries to poo poo that explanation that tries to poo poo that explanation that tries to poo poo that explanation that Trump moved in because he had intel that Trump moved in because he had intel that Trump moved in because he had intel that said, "Hey, these guys are about to get said, "Hey, these guys are about to get said, "Hey, these guys are about to get to the point where we are going to be to the point where we are going to be to the point where we are going to be able to uh we're going to be unable to able to uh we're going to be unable to able to uh we're going to be unable to stop them from getting a nuclear weapon stop them from getting a nuclear weapon stop them from getting a nuclear weapon should they decide to do." Anybody that should they decide to do." Anybody that should they decide to do." Anybody that says that that's [ __ ] I will point says that that's [ __ ] I will point says that that's [ __ ] I will point out we may already be there. We may have out we may already be there. We may have out we may already be there. We may have found out it really was too late. But my found out it really was too late. But my found out it really was too late. But my without any information there, I will without any information there, I will without any information there, I will say that um it's entirely possible we say that um it's entirely possible we say that um it's entirely possible we should just never have gotten into this should just never have gotten into this should just never have gotten into this war in the first place. So that's dumb. war in the first place. So that's dumb. war in the first place. So that's dumb. Let's say that no, no, no. As the intel Let's say that no, no, no. As the intel Let's say that no, no, no. As the intel comes out, we'll see that Trump knew comes out, we'll see that Trump knew comes out, we'll see that Trump knew what we're now seeing, which is that we what we're now seeing, which is that we what we're now seeing, which is that we were at the last offramp where we had a were at the last offramp where we had a were at the last offramp where we had a chance to defang them enough that they chance to defang them enough that they chance to defang them enough that they couldn't bully the region and we could couldn't bully the region and we could couldn't bully the region and we could actually do something to stop them from actually do something to stop them from actually do something to stop them from getting a nuclear weapon. And so we had getting a nuclear weapon. And so we had getting a nuclear weapon. And so we had to move. entirely possible that that's to move. entirely possible that that's to move. entirely possible that that's true. But either way, we are in the war true. But either way, we are in the war true. But either way, we are in the war now that we're in the war. Whether we now that we're in the war. Whether we now that we're in the war. Whether we should be or not, we're in the war. And should be or not, we're in the war. And should be or not, we're in the war. And now the bad news is that we do not now the bad news is that we do not now the bad news is that we do not appear to have the ability to prosecute appear to have the ability to prosecute appear to have the ability to prosecute this war. Because at this stage of the this war. Because at this stage of the this war.

This is just where you another country. This is just where you another country. This is just where you go. Are you looking to protect your go. Are you looking to protect your go. Are you looking to protect your country and your interests? If you are country and your interests? If you are country and your interests? If you are defanging from a nuclear program and a defanging from a nuclear program and a defanging from a nuclear program and a ballistic missile program, the ballistic missile program, the ballistic missile program, the government on Earth that has said over government on Earth that has said over government on Earth that has said over and over and over and over and over and and over and over and over and over and and over and over and over and over and over and over that you're the big Satan over and over that you're the big Satan over and over that you're the big Satan and that they chant death to America, and that they chant death to America, and that they chant death to America, that's probably not the people that you that's probably not the people that you that's probably not the people that you want to have a nuclear weapon. So, uh, want to have a nuclear weapon. So, uh, want to have a nuclear weapon. So, uh, we're in this war. we're in this war. we're in this war. We should want to make sure that we end We should want to make sure that we end We should want to make sure that we end this war to our advantage. And at this this war to our advantage. And at this this war to our advantage. And at this point, we're not going to be able to do point, we're not going to be able to do point, we're not going to be able to do that if we cannot keep the pedal to the that if we cannot keep the pedal to the that if we cannot keep the pedal to the metal in terms of making this war so metal in terms of making this war so metal in terms of making this war so costly to Iran that they want a costly to Iran that they want a costly to Iran that they want a negotiated settlement. I don't have any negotiated settlement. I don't have any negotiated settlement. I don't have any reason to believe based on actions and reason to believe based on actions and reason to believe based on actions and based on every analyst I've ever heard based on every analyst I've ever heard based on every analyst I've ever heard speak about Iran. Uh I don't have any speak about Iran. Uh I don't have any speak about Iran. Uh I don't have any reason to believe anything other than reason to believe anything other than reason to believe anything other than the fact that they use negotiations as a the fact that they use negotiations as a the fact that they use negotiations as a stall tactic and that they do not have a stall tactic and that they do not have a stall tactic and that they do not have a plan to acquies. we are not able to put plan to acquies. we are not able to put plan to acquies. we are not able to put enough pressure on them to get them to enough pressure on them to get them to enough pressure on them to get them to be forced to acquies. And so we're both be forced to acquies. And so we're both be forced to acquies. And so we're both going to do this loop. We're going to go going to do this loop. We're going to go going to do this loop. We're going to go and negotiate. While we're negotiating, and negotiate. While we're negotiating, and negotiate. While we're negotiating, Iran's going to make a bunch of money um Iran's going to make a bunch of money um Iran's going to make a bunch of money um selling oil and the US is going to try selling oil and the US is going to try selling oil and the US is going to try to build up their stockpiles. Iran is to build up their stockpiles. Iran is to build up their stockpiles. Iran is going to build up their stockpiles. going to build up their stockpiles. going to build up their stockpiles. They're going to continue to go They're going to continue to go They're going to continue to go underground uh deeper and deeper to make underground uh deeper and deeper to make underground uh deeper and deeper to make sure that we it's harder and harder to sure that we it's harder and harder to sure that we it's harder and harder to reach them. And so it becomes the reach them. And so it becomes the reach them. And so it becomes the antibiotics trap. And what happens with antibiotics trap. And what happens with antibiotics trap. And what happens with antibiotics? The reason that it gets so antibiotics? The reason that it gets so antibiotics? The reason that it gets so risky and the reason they tell you once risky and the reason they tell you once risky and the reason they tell you once you start taking antibiotics, you need you start taking antibiotics, you need you start taking antibiotics, you need to take the whole uh run of it and not to take the whole uh run of it and not to take the whole uh run of it and not stop just because your symptoms go away, stop just because your symptoms go away, stop just because your symptoms go away, you've got to take it all the way is you've got to take it all the way is you've got to take it all the way is because what ends up happening is you're because what ends up happening is you're because what ends up happening is you're killing off all the weak bacteria. And killing off all the weak bacteria. And killing off all the weak bacteria. And the ones that are resistant to the the ones that are resistant to the the ones that are resistant to the antibiotics that might still die if you antibiotics that might still die if you antibiotics that might still die if you kept going, um they end up surviving and kept going, um they end up surviving and kept going, um they end up surviving and you stop early because the symptoms went you stop early because the symptoms went you stop early because the symptoms went away. Now they regroup and those that away. Now they regroup and those that away. Now they regroup and those that bacteria starts multiplying. But now the bacteria starts multiplying. But now the bacteria starts multiplying. But now the only ones multiplying are the ones that only ones multiplying are the ones that only ones multiplying are the ones that are resistant to the antibiotics. And so are resistant to the antibiotics. And so are resistant to the antibiotics. And so now you took the time off, they now you took the time off, they now you took the time off, they recolonized. You hit them again, but recolonized. You hit them again, but recolonized. You hit them again, but they're all resistant. So it doesn't do they're all resistant. So it doesn't do they're all resistant. So it doesn't do as much. You pause again cuz you're as much. You pause again cuz you're as much. You pause again cuz you're running out of antibiotics. They running out of antibiotics. They running out of antibiotics. They multiply again. You try to hit them multiply again. You try to hit them multiply again. You try to hit them again. And now all of a sudden it's again. And now all of a sudden it's again. And now all of a sudden it's like, uh-oh, we're in real trouble. So like, uh-oh, we're in real trouble. So like, uh-oh, we're in real trouble. So that feels like the exact strategy that that feels like the exact strategy that that feels like the exact strategy that we're running right now. So again, I'm we're running right now. So again, I'm we're running right now. So again, I'm not saying we ever should have done this not saying we ever should have done this not saying we ever should have done this in the first place, but I am saying now in the first place, but I am saying now in the first place, but I am saying now that you're in it, this is the world's that you're in it, this is the world's that you're in it, this is the world's dumbest way to handle it. So not not dumbest way to handle it. So not not dumbest way to handle it. So not not expecting good things to come out of expecting good things to come out of expecting good things to come out of this, but we don't have enough this, but we don't have enough this, but we don't have enough information to know which of those three information to know which of those three information to know which of those three reads is true. So I'm giving you my reads is true. So I'm giving you my reads is true. So I'm giving you my bias, but we don't have all the bias, but we don't have all the bias, but we don't have all the information yet. We'll see. information yet. We'll see. information yet. We'll see. I don't know. I I get that, you know, we I don't know. I I get that, you know, we I don't know. I I get that, you know, we might be have a lack of ammunition now, might be have a lack of ammunition now, might be have a lack of ammunition now, but I feel like America with the but I feel like America with the but I feel like America with the Pentagon and how much money they got, Pentagon and how much money they got, Pentagon and how much money they got, they could spend something up. So, I they could spend something up. So, I they could spend something up. So, I feel like if we really are in dire feel like if we really are in dire feel like if we really are in dire straits, we can hit the panic button and straits, we can hit the panic button and straits, we can hit the panic button and get a couple thousand spun up in the get a couple thousand spun up in the get a couple thousand spun up in the next 30 to 90 days, trouble, just tell next 30 to 90 days, trouble, just tell next 30 to 90 days, trouble, just tell the American people that we we're close the American people that we we're close the American people that we we're close on the deal, that's where we're on the deal, that's where we're on the deal, that's where we're chilling. Like, chilling. Like, chilling. Like, >> what story runs in your head that makes >> what story runs in your head that makes >> what story runs in your head that makes you think that's true? Can you pinpoint you think that's true? Can you pinpoint you think that's true? Can you pinpoint it? it? it? >> Yes. When you have enough money, you can >> Yes. When you have enough money, you can >> Yes. When you have enough money, you can mobilize anybody to do anything. And mobilize anybody to do anything. And mobilize anybody to do anything. And Pentagon has the most money of every Pentagon has the most money of every Pentagon has the most money of every government branch that we have had in government branch that we have had in government branch that we have had in the last 10 in the last 10 years. And the last 10 in the last 10 years. And the last 10 in the last 10 years. And you got Palmer Lucky and um Alex Karp you got Palmer Lucky and um Alex Karp you got Palmer Lucky and um Alex Karp who are on both sides trying to reinvent who are on both sides trying to reinvent who are on both sides trying to reinvent the war uh warfare in the modern era. the war uh warfare in the modern era. the war uh warfare in the modern era. And I think between the two of them and And I think between the two of them and And I think between the two of them and Lockheed and everybody else who's seeing Lockheed and everybody else who's seeing Lockheed and everybody else who's seeing their margins go away, they would step their margins go away, they would step their margins go away, they would step up and say, "Yes, we'll take that up and say, "Yes, we'll take that up and say, "Yes, we'll take that contract. Yes, we'll get it done in 90 contract. Yes, we'll get it done in 90 contract. Yes, we'll get it done in 90 days. Yes, we'll bomb the [ __ ] out of." days. Yes, we'll bomb the [ __ ] out of." days. Yes, we'll bomb the [ __ ] out of." >> Okay, I love that analysis. I think that >> Okay, I love that analysis. I think that >> Okay, I love that analysis. I think that is literally the only hope I think every is literally the only hope I think every is literally the only hope I think every day about Lucky Palmer and the fact that day about Lucky Palmer and the fact that day about Lucky Palmer and the fact that he is um building weapons he says for he is um building weapons he says for he is um building weapons he says for China but he's building weapons that China but he's building weapons that China but he's building weapons that could be manufactured on automobile could be manufactured on automobile could be manufactured on automobile lines. The only thing that worries me lines. The only thing that worries me lines. The only thing that worries me about that is the narrative that America about that is the narrative that America about that is the narrative that America often tells itself is not about our often tells itself is not about our often tells itself is not about our current crop of incredible engineering current crop of incredible engineering current crop of incredible engineering talent which I will include Elon Musk in talent which I will include Elon Musk in talent which I will include Elon Musk in that. Um we don't tell ourselves that that. Um we don't tell ourselves that that. Um we don't tell ourselves that story. We tell ourselves the story of story. We tell ourselves the story of story. We tell ourselves the story of World War II and there's that phenomenal World War II and there's that phenomenal World War II and there's that phenomenal quote from the Japanese admiral I quote from the Japanese admiral I quote from the Japanese admiral I believe who says I fear that we have believe who says I fear that we have believe who says I fear that we have just woken a sleeping dragon and were just woken a sleeping dragon and were just woken a sleeping dragon and were and filled them with a terrible resolve and filled them with a terrible resolve and filled them with a terrible resolve and that is only possible because that and that is only possible because that and that is only possible because that does play out to be exactly correct. does play out to be exactly correct. does play out to be exactly correct. That's only possible because at the time That's only possible because at the time That's only possible because at the time we were a manufacturing powerhouse. And we were a manufacturing powerhouse. And we were a manufacturing powerhouse. And so right now we might have some legacy so right now we might have some legacy so right now we might have some legacy manufacturing abilities that maybe we manufacturing abilities that maybe we manufacturing abilities that maybe we can sort of dust the rust off and spin can sort of dust the rust off and spin can sort of dust the rust off and spin back up. But I think it's going to look back up. But I think it's going to look back up. But I think it's going to look more like the timeline did for Ukraine more like the timeline did for Ukraine more like the timeline did for Ukraine to become a manufacturing superpower to become a manufacturing superpower to become a manufacturing superpower which is like 3 years. which is like 3 years. which is like 3 years. >> So you're and they also had people in >> So you're and they also had people in >> So you're and they also had people in the world like us to send them the world like us to send them the world like us to send them munitions. So the problem is that this munitions. So the problem is that this munitions. So the problem is that this isn't going to be measured in 6 months. isn't going to be measured in 6 months. isn't going to be measured in 6 months. This is going to be 18 months. This is This is going to be 18 months. This is This is going to be 18 months. This is going to be 3 years. And so yes, I I am going to be 3 years. And so yes, I I am going to be 3 years. And so yes, I I am such a believer in America as um the such a believer in America as um the such a believer in America as um the collector of international talent. So collector of international talent. So collector of international talent. So Alex Karp I believe was born in America. Alex Karp I believe was born in America. Alex Karp I believe was born in America. Um Lucky Palmer was definitely born in Um Lucky Palmer was definitely born in Um Lucky Palmer was definitely born in America, but Elon's an import man. uh America, but Elon's an import man. uh America, but Elon's an import man. uh and so I believe that we have collected and so I believe that we have collected and so I believe that we have collected enough incredible talent from the world enough incredible talent from the world enough incredible talent from the world over that if we are sufficiently over that if we are sufficiently over that if we are sufficiently motivated to do this um that we will do motivated to do this um that we will do motivated to do this um that we will do it. The problem is I don't know what it. The problem is I don't know what it. The problem is I don't know what percentage of these brilliant engineers percentage of these brilliant engineers percentage of these brilliant engineers actually believe in America believe that actually believe in America believe that actually believe in America believe that America should prosecute this war. And America should prosecute this war. And America should prosecute this war. And so I have a bad feeling that you've got so I have a bad feeling that you've got so I have a bad feeling that you've got brilliant engineers that are like I brilliant engineers that are like I brilliant engineers that are like I don't want anything to do with the US don't want anything to do with the US don't want anything to do with the US government. I don't want to be anywhere government. I don't want to be anywhere government. I don't want to be anywhere near that near that near that >> and I'm going to get um spit on, yelled >> and I'm going to get um spit on, yelled >> and I'm going to get um spit on, yelled at by people that see me somewhere else. at by people that see me somewhere else. at by people that see me somewhere else. Like I don't know if you saw Tommy Like I don't know if you saw Tommy Like I don't know if you saw Tommy Robinson was at like a fight somewhere Robinson was at like a fight somewhere Robinson was at like a fight somewhere or something. I don't know. Anyway, he or something. I don't know. Anyway, he or something. I don't know. Anyway, he was in a Middle Eastern country, was in a Middle Eastern country, was in a Middle Eastern country, probably the UAE, but I don't know that probably the UAE, but I don't know that probably the UAE, but I don't know that for sure. And um a British boxer who I for sure. And um a British boxer who I for sure. And um a British boxer who I believe is Muslim approached him on the believe is Muslim approached him on the believe is Muslim approached him on the red carpet and just starts berating him. red carpet and just starts berating him. red carpet and just starts berating him. So keep in mind that he's not talking So keep in mind that he's not talking So keep in mind that he's not talking about any of that. He's like there for about any of that. He's like there for about any of that. He's like there for the fight. the fight. the fight. and uh the guy ends up shoving him and and uh the guy ends up shoving him and and uh the guy ends up shoving him and like it like becomes a whole real thing. like it like becomes a whole real thing. like it like becomes a whole real thing. So imagine you're an engineer, that's So imagine you're an engineer, that's So imagine you're an engineer, that's not your life. You don't want to get not your life. You don't want to get not your life. You don't want to get down like that. All the dinner parties down like that. All the dinner parties down like that. All the dinner parties you're at, they're all like we're you're at, they're all like we're you're at, they're all like we're culturally the acceptable narrative is culturally the acceptable narrative is culturally the acceptable narrative is still so left. Like if you look at all still so left. Like if you look at all still so left. Like if you look at all the stuff that we put out from a the stuff that we put out from a the stuff that we put out from a Hollywood standpoint, it's all left. So Hollywood standpoint, it's all left. So Hollywood standpoint, it's all left. So there's so much of like anti certainly there's so much of like anti certainly there's so much of like anti certainly antithe. So, I worry that we will have a antithe. So, I worry that we will have a antithe. So, I worry that we will have a hard time recruiting the best and the hard time recruiting the best and the hard time recruiting the best and the brightest to focus on the military. Now, brightest to focus on the military. Now, brightest to focus on the military. Now, the three that we've named, those three the three that we've named, those three the three that we've named, those three are already bought in. They understand are already bought in. They understand are already bought in. They understand that America has to be muscular, has to that America has to be muscular, has to that America has to be muscular, has to defend itself. Um, but I don't know that defend itself. Um, but I don't know that defend itself. Um, but I don't know that that's going to be a very popular that's going to be a very popular that's going to be a very popular refrain. refrain. refrain. >> We throw money at ICE agents and we've >> We throw money at ICE agents and we've >> We throw money at ICE agents and we've recruited a 100,000 in no time. So, I recruited a 100,000 in no time. So, I recruited a 100,000 in no time. So, I feel like when the price is right feel like when the price is right feel like when the price is right >> Yeah. But you admit that we recruited a >> Yeah. But you admit that we recruited a >> Yeah. But you admit that we recruited a bunch of undertrained people that were bunch of undertrained people that were bunch of undertrained people that were creating problems and so it's like, creating problems and so it's like, creating problems and so it's like, listen, it isn't impossible and I so listen, it isn't impossible and I so listen, it isn't impossible and I so want to be on your team and I love that. want to be on your team and I love that. want to be on your team and I love that. No, no, no. It's very exciting. But like No, no, no. It's very exciting. But like No, no, no. It's very exciting. But like if you look even the greatest if you look even the greatest if you look even the greatest technologists of our time, there's only technologists of our time, there's only technologists of our time, there's only one that's able to do something that one that's able to do something that one that's able to do something that that's in America. China's ungodly at that's in America. China's ungodly at that's in America. China's ungodly at this, but in America, the only people, this, but in America, the only people, this, but in America, the only people, the only person that has shown that he the only person that has shown that he the only person that has shown that he can build something from scratch at a can build something from scratch at a can build something from scratch at a rate that is just bewildering to the the rate that is just bewildering to the the rate that is just bewildering to the the entire rest of humanity is Elon Musk. entire rest of humanity is Elon Musk. entire rest of humanity is Elon Musk. And right now, Elon Musk isn't involved And right now, Elon Musk isn't involved And right now, Elon Musk isn't involved in the war effort at all. At least not in the war effort at all. At least not in the war effort at all. At least not publicly. Maybe secretly he's doing publicly. Maybe secretly he's doing publicly. Maybe secretly he's doing something, but it's like AI. Yes. And so something, but it's like AI. Yes. And so something, but it's like AI. Yes. And so there he'll be able to help and and not there he'll be able to help and and not there he'll be able to help and and not necessarily weapons, but like that'll be necessarily weapons, but like that'll be necessarily weapons, but like that'll be a big part of the cyber warfare and a big part of the cyber warfare and a big part of the cyber warfare and defense and there there will be a lot defense and there there will be a lot defense and there there will be a lot that we can do there. And so maybe I'm that we can do there. And so maybe I'm that we can do there. And so maybe I'm discounting that too much, but um that's discounting that too much, but um that's discounting that too much, but um that's my only concern that my only concern that my only concern that >> Palmer's amazing. Maybe I don't >> Palmer's amazing. Maybe I don't >> Palmer's amazing. Maybe I don't understand like how good he is at understand like how good he is at understand like how good he is at spinning up manufacturing facilities, spinning up manufacturing facilities, spinning up manufacturing facilities, but having spun up a manufacturing but having spun up a manufacturing but having spun up a manufacturing multiple manufacturing facilities multiple manufacturing facilities multiple manufacturing facilities myself, that [ __ ] is hard and it's myself, that [ __ ] is hard and it's myself, that [ __ ] is hard and it's timeconuming. So, I will be surprised if timeconuming. So, I will be surprised if timeconuming. So, I will be surprised if this happens as fast as we want it to. this happens as fast as we want it to. this happens as fast as we want it to. >> Yeah. I I think the one positive about >> Yeah. I I think the one positive about >> Yeah. I I think the one positive about Elon is that um he set the trend. So, Elon is that um he set the trend. So, Elon is that um he set the trend. So, it's kind of like Ray Croc. Everybody it's kind of like Ray Croc. Everybody it's kind of like Ray Croc. Everybody talks about McDonald's and Ray Croc and talks about McDonald's and Ray Croc and talks about McDonald's and Ray Croc and it's not that he's a genius because he it's not that he's a genius because he it's not that he's a genius because he made burgers, but he was a genius for made burgers, but he was a genius for made burgers, but he was a genius for two reasons. One, he did an assembly two reasons. One, he did an assembly two reasons. One, he did an assembly line f uh way of food and that never line f uh way of food and that never line f uh way of food and that never happened before. So Starbucks, Denny's, happened before. So Starbucks, Denny's, happened before. So Starbucks, Denny's, all these other um subsequent chains all these other um subsequent chains all these other um subsequent chains came because McDonald's said, "Okay, one came because McDonald's said, "Okay, one came because McDonald's said, "Okay, one burger here, one pad here. It's a one burger here, one pad here. It's a one burger here, one pad here. It's a one 123 system for food. Anything that we've 123 system for food. Anything that we've 123 system for food. Anything that we've seen with like cars, but the second seen with like cars, but the second seen with like cars, but the second thing that people love is like once thing that people love is like once thing that people love is like once they've seen that, then everybody's able they've seen that, then everybody's able they've seen that, then everybody's able to take that and then duplicate that to take that and then duplicate that to take that and then duplicate that model." So I think like Ray Croc, Elon model." So I think like Ray Croc, Elon model." So I think like Ray Croc, Elon has set an engineering standard that I has set an engineering standard that I has set an engineering standard that I think a lot of other tech bros both think a lot of other tech bros both think a lot of other tech bros both augle and they, you know, Elon is a augle and they, you know, Elon is a augle and they, you know, Elon is a Superman. That's their Jordan Superman. That's their Jordan Superman. That's their Jordan equivalent. Everybody wants to be like equivalent. Everybody wants to be like equivalent. Everybody wants to be like Elon. They think he's the best ever. So Elon. They think he's the best ever. So Elon. They think he's the best ever. So it's one of those things that I think he it's one of those things that I think he it's one of those things that I think he created this system that other people created this system that other people created this system that other people would emulate especially if the Pentagon would emulate especially if the Pentagon would emulate especially if the Pentagon is writing the checks especially like is writing the checks especially like is writing the checks especially like they want to get their man like oh I can they want to get their man like oh I can they want to get their man like oh I can be the next this guy and the Pentagon be the next this guy and the Pentagon be the next this guy and the Pentagon could throw me 500 billion to save the could throw me 500 billion to save the could throw me 500 billion to save the word save the like America I'll take word save the like America I'll take word save the like America I'll take that narrative I'll become a saint and that narrative I'll become a saint and that narrative I'll become a saint and yes people won't like me but I'll get yes people won't like me but I'll get yes people won't like me but I'll get 100 million um subs on Elon on Twitter's 100 million um subs on Elon on Twitter's 100 million um subs on Elon on Twitter's on X and on X and on X and >> you know a house somewhere and >> you know a house somewhere and >> you know a house somewhere and presidential uh pats on the back so presidential uh pats on the back so presidential uh pats on the back so >> fingers crossed you know >> fingers crossed you know >> fingers crossed you know >> we'll Hey, >> we'll Hey, >> we'll Hey, >> we'll get there. We'll get there. Um, >> we'll get there. We'll get there. Um, >> we'll get there. We'll get there. Um, okay. We got a bunch of supers coming okay. We got a bunch of supers coming okay. We got a bunch of supers coming up, but I want to kind of up, but I want to kind of up, but I want to kind of >> super chat. >> super chat. >> super chat. >> Um, I want to force in this Fed >> Um, I want to force in this Fed >> Um, I want to force in this Fed conversation. I know we have like 13 conversation. I know we have like 13 conversation. I know we have like 13 seconds to talk about it though, but um seconds to talk about it though, but um seconds to talk about it though, but um >> Oh, we can speedrun. This will be You'll >> Oh, we can speedrun. This will be You'll >> Oh, we can speedrun. This will be You'll have to probably pull me off. This is have to probably pull me off. This is have to probably pull me off. This is very much like a dog with a bone here. very much like a dog with a bone here. very much like a dog with a bone here. >> Um, but there's something very >> Um, but there's something very >> Um, but there's something very interesting going on. Okay, so uh this interesting going on. Okay, so uh this interesting going on. Okay, so uh this thing started recently going viral on um thing started recently going viral on um thing started recently going viral on um X. We'll play it and then I'll I'll give X. We'll play it and then I'll I'll give X. We'll play it and then I'll I'll give you a little background on the clip you a little background on the clip you a little background on the clip itself. It's um was not what I expected itself. It's um was not what I expected itself. It's um was not what I expected when I started doing the research. when I started doing the research. when I started doing the research. >> Yeah, it's worrisome. You know, the Fed >> Yeah, it's worrisome. You know, the Fed >> Yeah, it's worrisome. You know, the Fed basically has become now just a giant basically has become now just a giant basically has become now just a giant hedge fund. It's lost a trillion hedge fund. It's lost a trillion hedge fund. It's lost a trillion dollars, you know, and counting. It's dollars, you know, and counting. It's dollars, you know, and counting. It's going to be a a gigantic loss. What it going to be a a gigantic loss. What it going to be a a gigantic loss. What it does is borrows money at 5.4% 4% from does is borrows money at 5.4% 4% from does is borrows money at 5.4% 4% from banks and then dumps it into government banks and then dumps it into government banks and then dumps it into government bonds. So think what that trade does. bonds. So think what that trade does. bonds. So think what that trade does. That causes the government to think that That causes the government to think that That causes the government to think that it's better off than it is. And so that it's better off than it is. And so that it's better off than it is. And so that encouraged and uh the government to be encouraged and uh the government to be encouraged and uh the government to be short when rates were zero. So why did short when rates were zero. So why did short when rates were zero. So why did the government leave, you know, borrow the government leave, you know, borrow the government leave, you know, borrow so much in tea bills? Uh well, cuz the so much in tea bills? Uh well, cuz the so much in tea bills? Uh well, cuz the Fed was buying the bonds and it made it Fed was buying the bonds and it made it Fed was buying the bonds and it made it look like yields were going to stay low look like yields were going to stay low look like yields were going to stay low for remember the low for long phrase. for remember the low for long phrase. for remember the low for long phrase. Uh, so we've got these multiple problems Uh, so we've got these multiple problems Uh, so we've got these multiple problems that are going on and it it uh endangers that are going on and it it uh endangers that are going on and it it uh endangers the dollar. So that's the basic case. the dollar. So that's the basic case. the dollar. So that's the basic case. >> Okay. So here's the interesting thing. >> Okay. So here's the interesting thing. >> Okay.

You know, the Fed >> Yeah, it's worrisome. You know, the Fed >> Yeah, it's worrisome. You know, the Fed basically has become now just a giant basically has become now just a giant basically has become now just a giant hedge fund. It's lost a trillion hedge fund. It's lost a trillion hedge fund. It's lost a trillion dollars, you know, and counting. It's dollars, you know, and counting. It's dollars, you know, and counting. It's going to be a a gigantic loss. What it going to be a a gigantic loss. What it going to be a a gigantic loss. What it does is borrows money at 5.4% from banks does is borrows money at 5.4% from banks does is borrows money at 5.4% from banks and then dumps it into government bonds. and then dumps it into government bonds. and then dumps it into government bonds. So, think what So, think what So, think what >> how does the Fed borrow money from >> how does the Fed borrow money from >> how does the Fed borrow money from banks? banks? banks? >> I thought they gave money to the banks. >> I thought they gave money to the banks. >> I thought they gave money to the banks. >> Correct. >> Correct. >> Correct. >> So, why is he saying that they borrow >> So, why is he saying that they borrow >> So, why is he saying that they borrow money from the banks? money from the banks? money from the banks? >> Help me, Tom.

This is where I realize, God, you start really I realize, God, you start really I realize, God, you start really learning about the economy and then you learning about the economy and then you learning about the economy and then you come across Steve Keen. You're like, come across Steve Keen. You're like, come across Steve Keen. You're like, wait, there are parts of this. By the wait, there are parts of this. By the wait, there are parts of this. By the way, I cannot wait to talk to him about way, I cannot wait to talk to him about way, I cannot wait to talk to him about how he factors [clears throat] GDP cuz how he factors [clears throat] GDP cuz how he factors [clears throat] GDP cuz anyway, he's doing a thing there that is anyway, he's doing a thing there that is anyway, he's doing a thing there that is not embraced by the world at large.

Uh, so there's much to research there, but so there's much to research there, but so there's much to research there, but nonetheless nonetheless nonetheless >> realize like, oh, there's a part of this >> realize like, oh, there's a part of this >> realize like, oh, there's a part of this that I was not thinking about. I'd heard that I was not thinking about. I'd heard that I was not thinking about. I'd heard it before, but it it didn't take hold. it before, but it it didn't take hold. it before, but it it didn't take hold. So, this guy says, "Uh, the Fed is So, this guy says, "Uh, the Fed is So, this guy says, "Uh, the Fed is borrowing money from banks." And I was borrowing money from banks." And I was borrowing money from banks." And I was like, "What? What do you mean the Fed like, "What? What do you mean the Fed like, "What? What do you mean the Fed prints money? What are we talking about prints money? What are we talking about prints money? What are we talking about here? How does the Fed borrow money from here? How does the Fed borrow money from here? How does the Fed borrow money from banks?" And I was like, banks?" And I was like, banks?" And I was like, >> that isn't the mechanism by which this >> that isn't the mechanism by which this >> that isn't the mechanism by which this works. And that both is and isn't true. works. And that both is and isn't true. works. And that both is and isn't true. So, here's how money comes into being. So, here's how money comes into being. So, here's how money comes into being. >> So, when you have you want to issue >> So, when you have you want to issue >> So, when you have you want to issue government debt. So, by law, if you run government debt. So, by law, if you run government debt. So, by law, if you run a deficit, then you you have to get the a deficit, then you you have to get the a deficit, then you you have to get the capital for that deficit through capital for that deficit through capital for that deficit through government bonds. So, you're going to government bonds. So, you're going to government bonds. So, you're going to sell those government bonds. Now, if sell those government bonds. Now, if sell those government bonds. Now, if people have money that's already been people have money that's already been people have money that's already been distributed and they want to buy those distributed and they want to buy those distributed and they want to buy those bonds, then you you're not there's no bonds, then you you're not there's no bonds, then you you're not there's no inflation. People buy them and they say, inflation. People buy them and they say, inflation. People buy them and they say, "This is what I want to do with my "This is what I want to do with my "This is what I want to do with my money. This is how I'm going to put my money. This is how I'm going to put my money. This is how I'm going to put my money to work." Okay, cool. money to work." Okay, cool. money to work." Okay, cool. >> But when you put those out into the >> But when you put those out into the >> But when you put those out into the market, the question is who actually market, the question is who actually market, the question is who actually buys those bonds? So when the government buys those bonds? So when the government buys those bonds? So when the government puts up a bond, true, who buys them in puts up a bond, true, who buys them in puts up a bond, true, who buys them in the initial auction? the initial auction? the initial auction? >> The people, the banks, the corporations, >> The people, the banks, the corporations, >> The people, the banks, the corporations, >> right? All of them, right? False. It's >> right? All of them, right? False. It's >> right? All of them, right? False. It's just the banks. just the banks. just the banks. >> So I I actually don't know about >> So I I actually don't know about >> So I I actually don't know about corporations, but I know for sure I I'm corporations, but I know for sure I I'm corporations, but I know for sure I I'm almost certain only the banks. almost certain only the banks. almost certain only the banks. >> Yeah, >> Yeah, >> Yeah, >> people can't. A normal person is not >> people can't. A normal person is not >> people can't. A normal person is not allowed to buy debt from the government. allowed to buy debt from the government. allowed to buy debt from the government. >> So they buy it uh the banks first buy >> So they buy it uh the banks first buy >> So they buy it uh the banks first buy that debt. So the money now comes into that debt. So the money now comes into that debt. So the money now comes into existence as debt as interestbearing existence as debt as interestbearing existence as debt as interestbearing debt. Okay. So now when the Fed becomes debt. Okay. So now when the Fed becomes debt. Okay. So now when the Fed becomes the borrower of last resort, what they the borrower of last resort, what they the borrower of last resort, what they will end up doing is if they're doing will end up doing is if they're doing will end up doing is if they're doing quantitative easing, they're going to go quantitative easing, they're going to go quantitative easing, they're going to go buy that government debt from the bank buy that government debt from the bank buy that government debt from the bank with money that they created. with money that they created. with money that they created. >> So they brought that money into >> So they brought that money into >> So they brought that money into existence by putting reserves into the existence by putting reserves into the existence by putting reserves into the bank's account. So that money just like bank's account. So that money just like bank's account. So that money just like this is how the system works. Clickity this is how the system works. Clickity this is how the system works. Clickity clack. The bank now has money in its clack. The bank now has money in its clack. The bank now has money in its reserve account which is what they use reserve account which is what they use reserve account which is what they use to buy the bonds when they come on the to buy the bonds when they come on the to buy the bonds when they come on the market should they choose to. And then market should they choose to. And then market should they choose to. And then as a method of quantitative easing as a method of quantitative easing as a method of quantitative easing because what ends up happening is the because what ends up happening is the because what ends up happening is the bank sort of fills their coffers. They bank sort of fills their coffers. They bank sort of fills their coffers. They don't want to buy anymore. And the don't want to buy anymore. And the don't want to buy anymore. And the people have bought what they're going to people have bought what they're going to people have bought what they're going to bought. They don't want to buy anymore bought. They don't want to buy anymore bought. They don't want to buy anymore because they can buy them in the because they can buy them in the because they can buy them in the secondary auctions. And so now it's like secondary auctions. And so now it's like secondary auctions. And so now it's like well we have a deficit. We have to issue well we have a deficit. We have to issue well we have a deficit. We have to issue these bonds. We have to make good on these bonds. We have to make good on these bonds. We have to make good on this money. I just walked you through this money. I just walked you through this money. I just walked you through how those get out there. The Fed creates how those get out there. The Fed creates how those get out there. The Fed creates money for the banks and their reserves. money for the banks and their reserves. money for the banks and their reserves. The bank then buys those at initial The bank then buys those at initial The bank then buys those at initial auction. Now though, everybody's full. auction. Now though, everybody's full. auction. Now though, everybody's full. We don't want to raise rates to entice We don't want to raise rates to entice We don't want to raise rates to entice the average person to buy more. So, we, the average person to buy more. So, we, the average person to buy more. So, we, the Fed, end up going to the banks and the Fed, end up going to the banks and the Fed, end up going to the banks and buying the debt off of them. But all the buying the debt off of them. But all the buying the debt off of them. But all the money that those were bought with in the money that those were bought with in the money that those were bought with in the first place was created by the Fed. first place was created by the Fed. first place was created by the Fed. >> So the Fed gave banks money. They bought >> So the Fed gave banks money. They bought >> So the Fed gave banks money. They bought the debt and then they act like I've got the debt and then they act like I've got the debt and then they act like I've got to borrow that money off of you or I've to borrow that money off of you or I've to borrow that money off of you or I've got to buy that loan off of you. Uh it's got to buy that loan off of you. Uh it's got to buy that loan off of you. Uh it's [ __ ] madness. And so I'm just like, [ __ ] madness. And so I'm just like, [ __ ] madness. And so I'm just like, wait, hold on. It's like giving somebody wait, hold on. It's like giving somebody wait, hold on. It's like giving somebody money and then borrowing it back off of money and then borrowing it back off of money and then borrowing it back off of them. That [ __ ] is wild. And that but them. That [ __ ] is wild. And that but them. That [ __ ] is wild. And that but that's exactly what happens. Now I'm that's exactly what happens. Now I'm that's exactly what happens. Now I'm sure that sure that sure that >> when you go down looking at you have to >> when you go down looking at you have to >> when you go down looking at you have to have it's like this arms race. You have have it's like this arms race. You have have it's like this arms race. You have to charge the interest. You have to get to charge the interest. You have to get to charge the interest. You have to get it into the system somehow. There has to it into the system somehow. There has to it into the system somehow. There has to be a mechanism by which people are be a mechanism by which people are be a mechanism by which people are incentivized to loan or not loan the incentivized to loan or not loan the incentivized to loan or not loan the money to buy to hold. And so I won't be money to buy to hold. And so I won't be money to buy to hold. And so I won't be surprised that once you decide you're surprised that once you decide you're surprised that once you decide you're going to have a central bank, these are going to have a central bank, these are going to have a central bank, these are the things that you have to do. But the things that you have to do. But the things that you have to do. But dude, as you start like going in and dude, as you start like going in and dude, as you start like going in and like pulling it apart, you start like pulling it apart, you start like pulling it apart, you start realizing, hold on. Also, hedge funds, realizing, hold on. Also, hedge funds, realizing, hold on. Also, hedge funds, their whole thing is just arbitrage. I their whole thing is just arbitrage. I their whole thing is just arbitrage. I never really stopped to think about what never really stopped to think about what never really stopped to think about what the [ __ ] is a hedge fund actually doing. the [ __ ] is a hedge fund actually doing. the [ __ ] is a hedge fund actually doing. A hedge fund is just arbitrageing. A hedge fund is just arbitrageing. A hedge fund is just arbitrageing. They're buying low, they're selling They're buying low, they're selling They're buying low, they're selling high. So, uh, not selling high high. So, uh, not selling high high. So, uh, not selling high technically, they're buying something technically, they're buying something technically, they're buying something that has, uh, at a low interest rate. that has, uh, at a low interest rate. that has, uh, at a low interest rate. So, this is the Japanese yen carry So, this is the Japanese yen carry So, this is the Japanese yen carry trade. This is going to be my next area trade. This is going to be my next area trade. This is going to be my next area of of like real exploration. of of like real exploration. of of like real exploration. So, yen carry trade works like this. The So, yen carry trade works like this. The So, yen carry trade works like this. The Bank of Japan has reasons that they want Bank of Japan has reasons that they want Bank of Japan has reasons that they want to keep their interest rates to keep their interest rates to keep their interest rates ridiculously low. Not going to go into ridiculously low. Not going to go into ridiculously low. Not going to go into it now, but they have reasons. So, they it now, but they have reasons. So, they it now, but they have reasons. So, they hold their interest rate really, really hold their interest rate really, really hold their interest rate really, really low. And then people the world over go, low. And then people the world over go, low. And then people the world over go, "Oo, I can take advantage of that. So, "Oo, I can take advantage of that. So, "Oo, I can take advantage of that. So, I'm only going to pay, let's say, 2% for I'm only going to pay, let's say, 2% for I'm only going to pay, let's say, 2% for you. But in the US, I'm going to be able you. But in the US, I'm going to be able you.

I'm making seven I'm paying two here. I'm making seven I'm paying two here. I'm making seven here. Let's say I've got a 5% spread. here. Let's say I've got a 5% spread. here. Let's say I've got a 5% spread. Cool. And that's a hedge fund. And they Cool. And that's a hedge fund. And they Cool. And that's a hedge fund. And they basically just look for every place that basically just look for every place that basically just look for every place that they can do that kind of thing. Um, and they can do that kind of thing. Um, and they can do that kind of thing. Um, and the fact that that's how the Fed is the fact that that's how the Fed is the fact that that's how the Fed is getting themselves in trouble, which I getting themselves in trouble, which I getting themselves in trouble, which I have a feeling, though, this is a have a feeling, though, this is a have a feeling, though, this is a feeling, I haven't researched this yet, feeling, I haven't researched this yet, feeling, I haven't researched this yet, but I have a feeling this is why Kevin but I have a feeling this is why Kevin but I have a feeling this is why Kevin Walsh is saying, "Hey, we want to start Walsh is saying, "Hey, we want to start Walsh is saying, "Hey, we want to start reducing the holdings in the Fed because reducing the holdings in the Fed because reducing the holdings in the Fed because of this, because they were buying things of this, because they were buying things of this, because they were buying things that were um very low yielding. Sorry, that were um very low yielding. Sorry, that were um very low yielding. Sorry, they were uh selling things that were they were uh selling things that were they were uh selling things that were very low yielding. So, what they're very low yielding. So, what they're very low yielding. So, what they're taking in in interest payments is, let's taking in in interest payments is, let's taking in in interest payments is, let's say, 1 or 2%. But now what they're say, 1 or 2%. But now what they're say, 1 or 2%. But now what they're picking up as the quantitative easing picking up as the quantitative easing picking up as the quantitative easing guys is giving them an obligation of guys is giving them an obligation of guys is giving them an obligation of like five six%. I think 5.4 is what he like five six%. I think 5.4 is what he like five six%. I think 5.4 is what he said there. I'm not sure what the exact said there. I'm not sure what the exact said there. I'm not sure what the exact number is today. Somewhere between four number is today. Somewhere between four number is today. Somewhere between four and four and five and a half, something and four and five and a half, something and four and five and a half, something like that. Uh and so now they're like that. Uh and so now they're like that. Uh and so now they're hemorrhaging real dollars because I was hemorrhaging real dollars because I was hemorrhaging real dollars because I was like, well, hold on. The the Fed could like, well, hold on. The the Fed could like, well, hold on. The the Fed could just hold the money because what people just hold the money because what people just hold the money because what people don't think about like they'll say, oh don't think about like they'll say, oh don't think about like they'll say, oh my god, like people are so underwater. my god, like people are so underwater. my god, like people are so underwater. um the value of the 10-year Treasury, um the value of the 10-year Treasury, um the value of the 10-year Treasury, let's say, has gone down so much. Well, let's say, has gone down so much. Well, let's say, has gone down so much. Well, it's not gone down in nominal terms. it's not gone down in nominal terms. it's not gone down in nominal terms. It'll go down in real terms based on It'll go down in real terms based on It'll go down in real terms based on inflation, but if you hold to maturity, inflation, but if you hold to maturity, inflation, but if you hold to maturity, you get the principal back and you earn you get the principal back and you earn you get the principal back and you earn the interest that they promised to pay. the interest that they promised to pay. the interest that they promised to pay. They're not going to default on that. They're not going to default on that. They're not going to default on that. But that's all nominal versus real. God, But that's all nominal versus real. God, But that's all nominal versus real. God, this is unfortunate where that's it just this is unfortunate where that's it just this is unfortunate where that's it just gets confusing enough people's eyes just gets confusing enough people's eyes just gets confusing enough people's eyes just roll back in their head. But um so now roll back in their head. But um so now roll back in their head. But um so now though even though that is true the though even though that is true the though even though that is true the discrepancy between all the assets that discrepancy between all the assets that discrepancy between all the assets that they own paying out let's say 2%. And they own paying out let's say 2%. And they own paying out let's say 2%. And the liabilities that they have this is the liabilities that they have this is the liabilities that they have this is the Fed of 4 and a.5% somewhere in that the Fed of 4 and a.5% somewhere in that the Fed of 4 and a.5% somewhere in that neighborhood that gap they're neighborhood that gap they're neighborhood that gap they're hemorrhaging billions of dollars a year hemorrhaging billions of dollars a year hemorrhaging billions of dollars a year but they're not going to hemorrhage. but they're not going to hemorrhage. but they're not going to hemorrhage. What are they going to do? They're going What are they going to do? They're going What are they going to do? They're going to print. So now they're creating this to print. So now they're creating this to print. So now they're creating this inflationary loss by bad essential what inflationary loss by bad essential what inflationary loss by bad essential what he's calling hedge fund policy. So I'm he's calling hedge fund policy. So I'm he's calling hedge fund policy. So I'm like dude Hamilton did not want us to like dude Hamilton did not want us to like dude Hamilton did not want us to have a central bank for this [ __ ] have a central bank for this [ __ ] have a central bank for this [ __ ] reason. How smart was this guy? How the reason. How smart was this guy? How the reason. How smart was this guy? How the [ __ ] smart was he? Dude, he was young [ __ ] smart was he? Dude, he was young [ __ ] smart was he? Dude, he was young when he died 32. when he died 32. when he died 32. >> Bro, how do you figure all this [ __ ] out >> Bro, how do you figure all this [ __ ] out >> Bro, how do you figure all this [ __ ] out anyway? So he was like, "You can't do it anyway? So he was like, "You can't do it anyway? So he was like, "You can't do it if you do it." Because America ended up if you do it." Because America ended up if you do it." Because America ended up doing it very briefly. doing it very briefly. doing it very briefly. >> Mhm. because uh they understood the >> Mhm. because uh they understood the >> Mhm. because uh they understood the power of debt, but they put a ticking power of debt, but they put a ticking power of debt, but they put a ticking clock on it. So it was like 19 or 20 clock on it. So it was like 19 or 20 clock on it. So it was like 19 or 20 years and then the central bank closed years and then the central bank closed years and then the central bank closed like had to by law had to close and then like had to by law had to close and then like had to by law had to close and then the whole 1913 thing. Anyway, story for the whole 1913 thing. Anyway, story for the whole 1913 thing. Anyway, story for another day. But it's like once you another day. But it's like once you another day. But it's like once you understand how understand how understand how useful useful useful but deranging central banks are, you but deranging central banks are, you but deranging central banks are, you realize how we how every empire before realize how we how every empire before realize how we how every empire before us has ended up here and how we've ended us has ended up here and how we've ended us has ended up here and how we've ended up here. It's like you wouldn't have up here. It's like you wouldn't have up here. It's like you wouldn't have America almost certainly if you didn't America almost certainly if you didn't America almost certainly if you didn't have that 20-year stretch to like jump have that 20-year stretch to like jump have that 20-year stretch to like jump start it and get it going and take us start it and get it going and take us start it and get it going and take us from being a farming culture to an from being a farming culture to an from being a farming culture to an industrial culture. We used debt and a industrial culture. We used debt and a industrial culture. We used debt and a central bank to pull that off. And it central bank to pull that off. And it central bank to pull that off. And it worked so well and we grew so fast that worked so well and we grew so fast that worked so well and we grew so fast that we could actually overcome the debt, pay we could actually overcome the debt, pay we could actually overcome the debt, pay it off, close the bank. Now though, it off, close the bank. Now though, it off, close the bank. Now though, we're in a position we're not growing. we're in a position we're not growing. we're in a position we're not growing. Not not fast enough, nowhere near fast Not not fast enough, nowhere near fast Not not fast enough, nowhere near fast enough. So now you have a mechanism that enough. So now you have a mechanism that enough. So now you have a mechanism that just accumulates debt. D. just accumulates debt. D. just accumulates debt. D. And you can't grow your way out of it. And you can't grow your way out of it. And you can't grow your way out of it. So two times before we've grew our way So two times before we've grew our way So two times before we've grew our way out of this problem. Period number one, out of this problem. Period number one, out of this problem. Period number one, the uh industrialization of America. the uh industrialization of America. the uh industrialization of America. Period. Number two, um, post World War Period. Number two, um, post World War Period. Number two, um, post World War II, those two times, baby, we used II, those two times, baby, we used II, those two times, baby, we used manufacturing, industrialization to be a manufacturing, industrialization to be a manufacturing, industrialization to be a global juggernaut and to grow our way global juggernaut and to grow our way global juggernaut and to grow our way out of this. Now, what is your only out of this. Now, what is your only out of this. Now, what is your only shot? It only has two letters. shot? It only has two letters. shot?
