1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: Coming up. Is it the end of history? No, I 2 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 1: want to argue it's the beginning of history. I'll examine 3 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,640 Speaker 1: how new forms of government are springing up in the 4 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: twenty first century that belie the famous proposition that history 5 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 1: has come to an end. And podcaster Dennis Michael Lynch 6 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: joins me, We're going to talk about the security risks 7 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: and cultural breakdown produced by Islamic immigration.

This is the Danes to 10 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: SUSA podcast. 11 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 2: America needs this voice. 12 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,840 Speaker 3: The times are crazy, in a time of confusion, division 13 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 3: and lies. We need a brave voice of reason, understanding 14 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 3: and truth. This is the Donesh de Suza Podcast. 15 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: I want to talk today about a broad theme that 16 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 1: I'm calling the beginning of history. Sometimes in the podcast, 17 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: I begin with something in the news, and I talk 18 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: about a Supreme Court decision or a Trump policy, or 19 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 1: something going on with the Democrats. But it's also helpful 20 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: from time to time to take a bit of a 21 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: step back and kind of look at our world in 22 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 1: the big picture and try to understand what is going on. 23 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: I'm provoked to do this in part by some conversations 24 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: I had with a group of young conservatives in Brazil. 25 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: I mentioned yesterday that I was there just for a 26 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: few days, in San Paolo of South Paolo. I think 27 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 1: is the way they put it, very interesting place, by 28 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: the way, very cosmopolitan, really good food in certain parts. 29 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: A little dangerous, but that is to be expected because 30 00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: Brazil has these slums or favelas, and in the favelas 31 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: there's just a lot of urban rot and corruption and 32 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: also and also crime. But my conversations with the Brazilians 33 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: were very provocative. They see the world a little differently 34 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: from Brazil, and they were talking about sort of alternative 35 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: forms of government in the twenty first century. I'll come 36 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: to that in a moment. But the way I think 37 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: about it is that in the kind of at the 38 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: turn of the century, we had this idea called the 39 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: end of history. This was based upon Fukuyama's book called 40 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,679 Speaker 1: the End of History, and the argument was kind of dazzling. 41 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: It is that history has come to an end. This 42 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 1: seems a little crazy because history can't come to an end. 43 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,519 Speaker 1: Things continue to happen, so history in that sense continues. 44 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: But that's not what Fukuriyama meant by history. What he 45 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: meant is history understood as a clash between rival forms 46 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: of government, or, to put it more broadly, rival visions 47 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: of the good society. Where is history going? The kind 48 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: of directional aspect of history. And Fukiyama's point is that 49 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the ideological debate 50 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: between liberal democracy on the one side and let's just 51 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: say Soviet totality ranism on the other has been finished. 52 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: It's over. Liberal democracy has one This is not to 53 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: say that they may not be different forms of liberal democracy. 54 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: You could have the parliamentary system in Europe and the 55 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: presidential system in America. They are a sort of representative democracy. 56 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: We are a constitutional republic. We have an ultimate law 57 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: in the constitution. Great Britain doesn't have a constitution. They 58 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: have more of a common law. But these are, you 59 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: can say, variations on a theme. There's no question that 60 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: these Western societies by and large do have liberalism. Liberalism 61 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: here understood as liberties, and they also do have democracy. 62 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: They have democracy in one form or another, and it's 63 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 1: representative democracy. We elect leaders to represent us. And Fukuyama's 64 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: point is that you might have other dictatorships or autocracies 65 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: that continue in the world, but they have become discredited 66 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: in a way. There's only one model for Homo sapiens 67 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: or man to aspire to, and that is liberal democracy. 68 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: Liberal democracy is the best form of government, and it 69 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: has won out over all the others. Now, I think 70 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: that what these Brazilians were kind of getting at is 71 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: that liberal democracy is showing itself to have very serious problems. 72 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: And I'll identify it too, the problem of entitlements and 73 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: the problem of outside encourasion, and I'm thinking here specifically 74 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,679 Speaker 1: of radical Islam. So let's say a word about each. 75 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: The problem of entitlements is that people have the ability 76 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: under liberal democracy, at least under welfare state democracy. This 77 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: was not the case, by the way, in the time 78 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: of the founding, but it is the case after FDR 79 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: and the Great Society, that a majority of people can 80 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: vote benefits to themselves and extract those benefits from the taxpayer. 81 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: You get used to the benefits, you become entitled, You 82 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: want more, you keep pressing for more. These countries go 83 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: into debt. They can't pay off their debt. Congressmen and 84 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: senators cannot afford to vote against the entitlements that lead 85 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: to the debt, and so the society essentially is on 86 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: a path to bankruptcy through expanding entitlements. And that is 87 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: a sort of fate that we can see ahead of us. 88 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: And it's not unique to America. It is common pretty 89 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: much to all liberal democracies in all Western societies. They're 90 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: all heading in the same direction. The other problem is 91 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: what to do about radical Islam, which travels on the 92 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: passport of liberalism, but at the same time does not 93 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: appear to have a liberal end goal. And so how 94 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: do you say no to people and to groups that 95 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: appeal to free speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of the 96 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: ability the right to vote when those groups are taking 97 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: over school boards and they're taking over they're running for Congress, 98 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: and again their goal is to reach a critical mass 99 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: of power in which liberal democracy itself can then be 100 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: somehow subverted. So liberal democracy suddenly appears not to have 101 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,679 Speaker 1: an easy solution to these two And you could probably 102 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: name other problems. And when we look around the world, 103 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: we begin to see other models popping up. And I 104 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: just jotted down five of them, which I'm just going 105 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: to briefly highlight, because none of these are liberal democracies 106 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: in the usual sense, and yet they have certain types 107 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: of appeal to certain people around the world and probably 108 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: also to some Americans. There's a Singapore model, which I 109 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: would call it is democratic. They do have elections, but 110 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: on the other hand, it is somewhat illiberal. And by 111 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,679 Speaker 1: illiberal what I mean is that, no, you can't say 112 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: whatever you want, and you quite frankly can't do whatever 113 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: you want. And there are severe penalties for what an 114 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: Americans would consider fairly trivial offenses, and they're extremely severe penalties, 115 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: including the death penalty or doing things like trafficking in drugs. 116 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: And yet Singapore is a very clean place, a very 117 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: orderly place for many people, a very attractive place, one 118 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: of the financial centers of the world. And so there's 119 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: a Singapore model. Then there is I would call it, 120 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: the the Arab model, and I'm thinking of places here 121 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: like Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Qatar. These are societies that 122 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: are Islamic, but they're very different than say Iran. This 123 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: is not a theocracy or rule by the Mallahs. Per se. 124 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: People do have a lot of liberties in these societies. 125 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: Now they can't go against the government if they did, 126 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 1: they would be shut down. And so these are not democracies. 127 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 1: They are autocracies, but they present themselves as benign autocracies. 128 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: You want to start a business, it's very easy, just 129 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: do it. The tax rates tend to be pretty low. 130 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: They are also societies that are very clean because the 131 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: autocrat decides, no, there's going to be no littering, and 132 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: we're going to keep the parks and the subways and 133 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: the streets spotless. And there's also going to be very 134 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: little crime. I may have mentioned this before, but there's 135 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: a social media video out there where a woman takes 136 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: off her rolex, puts it on the front dash of 137 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: her car, and then leaves. She goes, in fact, to 138 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: a restaurant across the street, and she turns on her 139 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: phone and she says, let's look and see if anyone 140 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: comes and takes the rolex, and no one does. People 141 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: actually walk by, they see the watch, but they don't 142 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: touch it. Whether they do that out of civic sense 143 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: or whether they do it out of fear, like hey, 144 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: I don't want my arm cut off for taking the rolex. 145 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: Either way, the rolex is untouched. Then there's the Chinese model, 146 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: which has delivered a lot for the Chinese people. It 147 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: is certainly not democracy, it's the opposite of that. But 148 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: it does allow a measure of capitalist freedom. There are billionaires, 149 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: for example, in China, and so you can make money 150 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: in China, and China has made a great deal of money, 151 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: but even that capitalism is shackled to the government. The 152 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: government in the end has the final say, so they 153 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: have the right to take away the money from the 154 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: billionaires if they decide to do it. And then the 155 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: two other models. I want to mention the sort of 156 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: Hungarian Polish model, which is democratic, but it's democratic with 157 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: a very deliberate end goal of creating a Christian order, 158 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: a Christian republic, a sort of Christian society, maybe not 159 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: so different from the ones that existed in earlier centuries. 160 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: Those societies were probably not democratic in the sense that 161 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: we understand today. But what Hungary and Poland are trying 162 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 1: to do is basically say, we don't have to explain 163 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,359 Speaker 1: to you why we are pro Christian and anti Muslim. 164 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: That's because that's who we are, that's our identity. We 165 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: don't believe in the liberal nostrum that we have to 166 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: sort of explain why the church bells are allowed to ring, 167 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: but we're not going to allow the call to prayer. 168 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: We don't allow the call to prayer because we aren't 169 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,719 Speaker 1: Muslims around here. So Muslims can live in our society, 170 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,119 Speaker 1: but they don't get to make the rules of the society. 171 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: And if they don't like it, they're welcome to leave. 172 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: And finally, there is the El Salvador model, which can 173 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: also be called the Bukele model, and Bukele, I think, 174 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,239 Speaker 1: is trying to do something very similar to Singapore. Basically, 175 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: Bukeley is a Democrat. He's elected with huge majorities, but 176 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: he's not reluctant to use tremendous force to smash the 177 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: back of crime of gangs. He's not afraid to have 178 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: draconian penalties for those criminals. And he's also creating a 179 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:15,599 Speaker 1: very entrepreneurial society. In El Savador, he's embraced bitcoin and cryptocurrency. 180 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: People are actually able to pay in restaurants with bitcoin. 181 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: So basically, Bookeele is saying that I'm going to create 182 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: right here in the Americas a small model society that 183 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: maybe offers a better option. I mean, think about these 184 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: Western societies. They're almost all dealing with issues of crime, 185 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 1: particularly in their cities. And so what does it say 186 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: that a third world society like El Salvador is safer 187 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: than say Minneapolis, or safer than Saint Louis, or safer 188 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: than London or Paris. And so, even though some of 189 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 1: these models have not been applied across large scale societies, 190 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: they're applied in fairly miniature examples. Singapore is a small example, 191 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: El Salvador is a small example. I think what they'd suggest, 192 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: what all of this suggests to me, is that we 193 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: have not reached the end of history. In fact, in 194 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: some ways history is only beginning beginning again. There's a 195 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: powerful new film coming from Angels Studios on the Wonder Project. 196 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: It's called Young Washington. It tells the untold story of 197 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: how George Washington's character was forged long before independence, when 198 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: he was just twenty facing failure, loss, and near death. 199 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: Directed by John Irwin, who made Jesus Revolution American Underdog, 200 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: and starring Andy Serkis, Ben Kingsley and Kelsey Grammar, it's 201 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: a sweeping, high quality production that reminds us what true leadership, virtue, 202 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,719 Speaker 1: and providence look like. This isn't revisionist history.

Microplastics, tiny bits of 212 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: plastic are everywhere in our food, our water, even our air. 213 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: A new study shows ninety four percent of our drinking 214 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: water contains microplastics, and they're in eighty eight percent of 215 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: our meat and seafood. Even if you eat clean, you're 216 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: still taking in plastic and damaging your health from the 217 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: inside out. These particles passed through the gut barrier, they 218 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: enter your bloodstream, and they trigger a wave of oxidative stress, 219 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: leading to inflammation, mutations and even cancer. BPA plastics disrupt hormones, 220 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: damage DNA, and are now showing up even in the 221 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: human brain.

Dennis, welcome, thanks for 242 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: thanks for joining me. It's been a long time and 243 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: so good to see you again. Let's start by talking 244 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: about this business of Qatar. And I use those words 245 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: carefully because it seems to me that a lot of 246 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: business is going on in Qatar. They have these financial conferences, 247 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: a lot of deals are made. The Qataris, of course, 248 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: are a wash in oil money. We know that they 249 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: spend it lavishly all over the world to promote their interests. 250 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: So what do you mean of this kind of pilgrimage 251 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 1: of prominent Americans heading over to Qatar. I mean, we've 252 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: heard about Tucker going to Qatar and his business partner 253 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: in Qatar. I've heard that there was some right wing 254 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: social media influencers who were invited to Katar. I've seen 255 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 1: a couple of them make what seemed to be somewhat 256 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 1: embarrassing videos where They're like, I'm having a great time 257 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 1: in Qatar, and I'm like, what's going on here? What 258 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: is what is your reading on this Katari operation? 259 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 4: Well, you know, Denesh, I'm somebody who lived nine to eleven, 260 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 4: so I'm gonna always have a bias. I'm one of 261 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 4: the people you saw with white sut all over his head. 262 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 4: So what I think has been happening in the years 263 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 4: since you and I first met, going all the way 264 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 4: back to Fox News, I remember Megan Kelly had me 265 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 4: on her show to defend you when Obama was going 266 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 4: against you, because at that time, you and I were 267 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:57,959 Speaker 4: the two filmmakers. 268 00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 2: Of course you're the more. 269 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 4: Prominent, but I have always been keeping my message the 270 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 4: same throughout all these years, and that is that Islam, 271 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 4: unlike any other if you want to call it a 272 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 4: religion or movement, they have one destination, and that is 273 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 4: to take over the West. That is what they want, 274 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 4: and they are going to get to it no matter 275 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 4: what it takes. And so they have figured out a 276 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 4: while back that the way to take over America is 277 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,719 Speaker 4: to take it over from within. And I think what 278 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 4: we're seeing, because I've been screaming about this for the 279 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 4: last twenty years on Fox and Newsmax, it's now coming 280 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 4: to fruition. 281 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 2: Pal. 282 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 4: What we're seeing is they have figured out how to 283 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 4: get into America. And the way you get into America 284 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 4: is you show them the money, just like Jerry maguire 285 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 4: show me the money. And so we have the qataris 286 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 4: now spend the and it's not just them Tinesh, It's 287 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 4: the Saudis, it's the Kuwaits, it's the whole entire Middle East, 288 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 4: with the exception of Israel. If you carve that out, 289 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 4: they are all coming in. They're putting in billions and 290 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 4: billions of dollars into our universities and colleges, putting money 291 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 4: any which way they can into the pockets of important influencers. 292 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 4: And maybe they're not paying Tucker Calson, but they're treating 293 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 4: them like a king. And you and I know from 294 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 4: being in the media, there's nothing nicer than when somebody's 295 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 4: sprinkling about how great you are. And when now all 296 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 4: of a sudden, Tucker Colson's going to buy property in 297 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:25,959 Speaker 4: a place where sharial law is what is dictated upon everybody. 298 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 4: To me, this is just another step in buying their 299 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 4: way into the United States of America. Given the President 300 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:37,199 Speaker 4: the free plane doing AI deals, they are slowly but 301 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 4: surely accomplishing what it is that the Muslim Brotherhood wrote 302 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 4: many years ago in the early nineteen nineties that the 303 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 4: FBI caught It was all revealed in the Holy Holy 304 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 4: Land Foundation that the way to take over America is 305 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 4: to take it over from within, the schools, the businesses, 306 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 4: the media, and of course the government. 307 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: Dennis, let me press back on you partly, just so 308 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: we can clarify this issue. It's not that I don't agree, 309 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 1: It's that I want to frame the other side of 310 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,919 Speaker 1: this right. And so I'm going to be I'm going 311 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: to be Qatar for a moment, and the Qataris are 312 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: going to say, well, look, I thought you Americans wanted 313 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: to have good Muslims instead of bad Muslims. I thought 314 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: that you Americans didn't like Isis and al Qaeda. You 315 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: don't like people flying into your buildings. You like people 316 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,919 Speaker 1: who do business with you and have trade with you. 317 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: And that's why you've been trading with places like China 318 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: for the last forty or fifty years. You don't agree 319 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: with their political system, but you think the trade is 320 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,159 Speaker 1: a way for people who don't agree to find common ground. 321 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: And so if we give money to your universities, we're 322 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: helping your students get an education. We're helping fund important 323 00:20:54,880 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 1: research that benefits America. And if we get involved in AI, 324 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 1: well we're pushing AI forward. And isn't that the future 325 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 1: of humanity, and we are, in a sense doing our part. 326 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: Islam has been a kind of backward part of the 327 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: world for a long time, but now we want to 328 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: come to the forefront of it and be alongside you 329 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: and this great revolution of AI and robotics. So why 330 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: are you making us the bad guy when we're trying 331 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: to be the good guy? 332 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 4: So I would answer your question with a question before 333 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 4: I could give you the answer. So, mister Prime Minister, 334 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 4: what's in it for you? 335 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 1: Well, I would answer what's in it for me is 336 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,199 Speaker 1: the same as is in it for you, which is 337 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: to say, why do you make AI investments if not 338 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: to ultimately move the technology forward benefit your citizens. Make 339 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,360 Speaker 1: a bunch of money. We want to do the same thing. 340 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: These are investments. We have all this oil money. We're 341 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: willing to put it to use to advance technology to 342 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: the common benefit of humanity. Of course we get something 343 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: out of it. We're not claiming we're being global philanthropists here, 344 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: but neither of you. 345 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 4: All right, I'll tell you what what about I'm gonna 346 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 4: I'm gonna press you, mister Prime Minister, to really see 347 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 4: if you're interests are in the right space. Because if 348 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 4: we're really gonna be partners. We have to sort of 349 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 4: be on the same wavelength on everything, not just Ai. 350 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 4: So what about for every mosque that I put up 351 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 4: in America, you put up a church. I want to 352 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 4: invest in in Qatar. I want to start putting up churches. 353 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 4: I want the people of America to be able to 354 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 4: go to your beautiful place. I mean, what a beautiful 355 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 4: city Doha is. Let's have it this way. Let's make 356 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 4: it so this way. My folks don't have to register 357 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 4: with you and be careful about when and how and 358 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 4: if they pray. 359 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 2: Let's do a one to one. 360 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 4: I'll give you a mosque, You give me a church, 361 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 4: and you got to let all my people go and 362 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 4: pray to Jesus Christ in the middle of the street. 363 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 4: You do that, then you show me that you want 364 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 4: to be a real partner. And I guarantee you you 365 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,159 Speaker 4: know what they're gonna do. They're gonna hang up the 366 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 4: phone to Nash. 367 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, they sure are. But I'm going to continue 368 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,360 Speaker 1: the argument because I just want to think aloud here 369 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: and and my answer would be this. It would be 370 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: all right, mister Trump, You're by the way, you're Trump, 371 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: and I'm I'm the Emir of Qatar. 372 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 2: I would say, I'd rather be President Lynch. 373 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: Well, there you can. President Lynch. Maybe not the most 374 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 1: fortunate name for a president, but but nevertheless, we'll we'll 375 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: go with it for now. President Lynch. Well, I would 376 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 1: say that we in the Islamic world have a certain 377 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: substantive idea of what kind of society we want. We 378 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: actually want Islamic societies, and Islamic societies operate by Islamic rules. 379 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 1: This is the Islamic world, and so we obviously any 380 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: people obviously has the right to create for themselves whatever 381 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: kind of society they want. We've chosen to have an 382 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: Islamic society, which means that there are going to be 383 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: some limitations on people building churches. Not that there are 384 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: no churches, but the churches have to be you can say, 385 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: subordinate to Islam. All right. Now, you in the West 386 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: have decided not to do that. You've decided to have 387 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: separation of church and state. You have all these court 388 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: rulings that say you've got to be neutral between different religions. 389 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: That's not our choice. We didn't make you do that. 390 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 1: You chose to do that yourself. And so you have 391 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: created a liberal society which operates according to certain freedoms. 392 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 1: Freedom of speech, freedom of association. Now, when we come 393 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: to your countries and buy mosques, you know, we pay 394 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: for them, We buy the land. There may be a 395 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 1: church that's empty. We buy that church. We revitalize it 396 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 1: and put eight hundred Muslims in it, when before there 397 00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 1: were only thirty seven Catholics going every Sunday. So you're 398 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 1: complaining to me about a problem inside of your own society, 399 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: which is that you have created these rules. We are 400 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: playing by your rules. We agree when in Rome do 401 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 1: is the Romans. So when you come to Qatar, you 402 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 1: have to live by the Qatari rules. We are living 403 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: by the American rules. And you seem to be upset 404 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: about it. 405 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 4: Well, the first thing I would say to you, mister 406 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 4: Prime Minister, is that a lot of your people. 407 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: Come on, hold on, I'm not the prime minister, I'm 408 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 1: the Emir. I'm sort of like a dictator. Whatever I 409 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,199 Speaker 1: say goes the Prime minister is that would be a 410 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: big downgrade for me, because I have the right to 411 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: chop people's arms off. I've got a lot of I've 412 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: got a lot of privileges that maybe you President Lynch 413 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: would like to have in America, but you don't have them, 414 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: and that's your own fault. That's because you signed up 415 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 1: for this constitutional republic where you've got to have due 416 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,159 Speaker 1: process and a whole bunch of nonsense that frankly, we 417 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: don't tolerate here in Qatar. 418 00:25:57,960 --> 00:25:59,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know what, it's funny you're saying that 419 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 2: to a mirror. 420 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 4: I mean, if you knew that that that the issues 421 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 4: that I'm getting from the left because I want to 422 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 4: bomb some some drug boats. 423 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 2: You're you're, you're, you're nailing it. 424 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 4: But you know, let's get to the crux here when 425 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,679 Speaker 4: the problem I have with you coming over here and 426 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,640 Speaker 4: setting up shop is that I know ultimately that you 427 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 4: do not come here because you have a love of America. Now, 428 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 4: I'm all for immigration, and I'm all for people who 429 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 4: want to come here because they see the opportunity that 430 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 4: America provides everybody and anybody. But I just don't see 431 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 4: your people acting in good faith. To be quite honest, 432 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 4: in fact, every time you send somebody here, either they 433 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 4: are stealing from me, they're lying to me, they're marrying 434 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 4: their brother in order to get in here. And then 435 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 4: of course when I when I'm not looking. They're practicing 436 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 4: Sharia law. And then they're in the streets saying how 437 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 4: there is that they're going to take over America. And 438 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 4: so you know, when I I'm not crazy about the Russians, 439 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 4: I'm not crazy about the Italians. I'm an Irish guy, 440 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 4: but I've never had a Jew. I've never had an irishman. 441 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 4: I've never had, you know, somebody from Sweden come over 442 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 4: and the first thing they say to me is that 443 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 4: they're going to take over my country from within. So, 444 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 4: to be honest with you, I do not trust you, folks. 445 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 4: I don't need your money. I happen to be a 446 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 4: very very well off country, even though I'm. 447 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 2: Borrowing too much. I'm going to change that around. Here's 448 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 2: the thing. 449 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 4: If you really want to show me who you are 450 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 4: and what you believe in and you won't let me 451 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 4: open up churches, that's still something I'm going to put 452 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 4: a side eye to. But here's the big problem. What 453 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 4: about we start off with right now? Just sign the 454 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 4: book here, just sign it. Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization. 455 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 4: Let's start with that. 456 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: You willing to do that, well, I think I think 457 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 1: I'm going to pull out of the conversation for a 458 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: moment here, because I think there you sort of have 459 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,919 Speaker 1: the qataris. Well, let me put it differently. If I 460 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 1: were to truly answer your question, I would have to 461 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: go full Takia on you, right, I would have to 462 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 1: want disguised my true motives because I think we both 463 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: know the answer to that question y And the look, 464 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: I think that the issue we're wrestling with here, and 465 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: the reason I'm pressing you, frankly, is not to defend 466 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 1: the Islamic position. It's actually to expose some of the 467 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:23,360 Speaker 1: vulnerabilities of the American position here. Because let's just pick 468 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: it up from where we left off. You know, is 469 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,959 Speaker 1: it possible, is it even practical, let's say, for America 470 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: to create an immigration policy in which we were to 471 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: say no Muslims. I mean, that's ay, that would be 472 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: a tricky thing to do. The whole objective of the 473 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty five Immigration Act was to remove some of 474 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 1: the ethnic and racial elements and immigration that were there 475 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 1: from the twenties. So you know, I can understand in 476 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: America if we were to say, all right, we want 477 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: to move to a skills based immigration as opposed to 478 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: let's say, familyfication, right, that would be an improvement in 479 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: my opinion. But the idea of explicitly saying, hey, listen, 480 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: we don't even treat Islam as a religion. We're going 481 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: to treat it as some sort of an ideology. We're 482 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,479 Speaker 1: going to classify it as dangerous or terrorists. We're not 483 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: going to let any Muslims in here. I mean, do 484 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: you see that as some place that America can go 485 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: consistent with the Constitution, or do you think that there 486 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: are obstacles to that? 487 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 4: No, Well, listen, Denesh, there's obstacles in getting a stop 488 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,239 Speaker 4: sign on the corner these days, right, because you're going 489 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 4: to invade the turtles that live there. But I mean, look, 490 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 4: let me ask you a question. I don't know this 491 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 4: about you, and are you native born? 492 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: Well, no, I was born in Bombay. I came to 493 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: America at the age of seventeen, and I became a 494 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: citizen in ninety one. 495 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 2: Okay, so I'm glad I know that. Okay. 496 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:57,239 Speaker 4: So with that being said, you know, I have you 497 00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 4: and I have never dined together, but we're of the 498 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 4: same ilk in terms of the way we think and 499 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,719 Speaker 4: what we've done. And I find you as being an 500 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 4: extremely patriotic American. In fact, probably one of the best ones. 501 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 4: That if if somebody said to me, hey, round me 502 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 4: up and I want people of all different colors, I'd say, 503 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 4: a right, give me Ben Carson, give me Dnesh de Sousa. 504 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 4: I mean so, I have a lot of respect for you, Okay. 505 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 4: With that said, at this point in time, from what 506 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 4: I've learned in my twenty years of immigration is that 507 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 4: our vetting process is hideous, and we continue to put 508 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 4: the United States of America at great risk, not only 509 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 4: just from a national security standpoint, but also from a 510 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 4: cultural standpoint. 511 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 2: See you come over here, Denesh. 512 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 4: And when I look at you, I look at me. 513 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 4: My skin complexion is lighter than yours, but I don't 514 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 4: look at it that way. When I consulted for Ben 515 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 4: Carson in twenty sixteen, he said to me, Dennis, I 516 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 4: want you to come. I want you to consult for 517 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 4: me and teach me everything I need to know about immigration. 518 00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 4: And I said, well, I'm going to be voting for Trump. 519 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 4: He says, I don't care. I still see you Fox, 520 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 4: I want you to come over. I went there because 521 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 4: I thought he would make a great vice president. At 522 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 4: the end of the day, I'm on the same team. 523 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 4: All right, you are that same sort of person. I 524 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 4: mean the things that you have risked and the price 525 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 4: that you have had to pay for the way that 526 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 4: you've tried to defend America against things like Obama and 527 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 4: Hillary Clinton. I mean, I could line up fifty white 528 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 4: guys and they don't and they're not as patriotic as you. 529 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 4: So for me, this is no longer about Hey, I 530 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 4: don't want brown people, I don't want Muslim people. I 531 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 4: want to be able to vet who's coming into my country. 532 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 4: We got lucky with Denesh Desusa, but we didn't get 533 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 4: so lucky with ilan Omar. 534 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 2: And so what I know. 535 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 4: About the immigration process is that the process of putting 536 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 4: through twelve million visas and having to go through all 537 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 4: these background checks, we don't have the people Denesh. And 538 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 4: then on top of that, we're just saying come. 539 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 2: On over because you're a third world come. 540 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 4: On over because you're this No, it needs to be 541 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 4: a basis of value you are for value to this country. 542 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 4: I'm not going to wind up inviting you in anymore 543 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 4: because you have the right mother and father based on 544 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 4: the chain migration rules. So what's happened is our laws 545 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 4: about immigration need to be changed and updated once again. 546 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 4: And that's not unfair of me to say. It doesn't 547 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 4: make me a racist or anything else in that nature. 548 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 4: If I had a company that made black and white televisions, 549 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 4: what would you come and say to me, Say, Dennis, 550 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 4: you got to change it. Man. We're now in flat screen, 551 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 4: and that's all that is. I think that most Americans 552 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 4: are saying. I would, through proclamation, which the President himself 553 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 4: just tweeted not so long ago, I would say, let's 554 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 4: end all legal immigration into the country for a period 555 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 4: of time until we can redo our vetting system. And 556 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 4: if it makes you feel any better, Danese Desusa, if 557 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 4: it makes you feel any better, ilan Omar, we can 558 00:32:55,960 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 4: start banning the Irish coming over my own. Let's I'm 559 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 4: not talking about color. I want to stop it for 560 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 4: everybody because I can't see who's coming into my country 561 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 4: and it is becoming detrimental on many different aspects from 562 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 4: a national security standpoint, from a financial standpoint, and quite honestly, 563 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 4: from a cultural standpoint. 564 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 1: Look, I mean the principle you're talking about I agree 565 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: with one hundred percent, and I would even go further 566 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: to say that. I don't even think it is a 567 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: bureaucratic problem. It's not that we don't have enough personnel. 568 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 1: It is that the project that you're describing is not 569 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 1: even being attempted. In other words, it's not even like 570 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 1: they're trying. It'd be one thing if they were like, listen, 571 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: we're going to try to find immigrants who love America, 572 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 1: who assimilate, who are coming here because this is a 573 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 1: great club and they want to be members, and if 574 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 1: they were bureaucratically failing to achieve that goal, but they don't, 575 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: are not even trying to go there now. In some ways, 576 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 1: I think Trump's way of thinking about this appears to be, 577 00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: you know, and it's very trumpy, and it's like, hey, listen, 578 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: you got five one hundred thousand dollars to bring with 579 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,480 Speaker 1: you in your pocket. Well, okay, we're gonna let you 580 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: let you in here. But I think what you're saying 581 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 1: is that that's not enough. Yes, you can bring the money, 582 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: but you also need to bring a set of cultural 583 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 1: values and expectations. You really need to want to play 584 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: by our rules instead of trying to get us to 585 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 1: play by your rules. Is that your bottom line? 586 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, the thing. Look, I voted for Trump 587 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 2: three times. 588 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 4: I have an incredible amount of admiration for the fight 589 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 4: that that man has in him, and I truly believe 590 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 4: he loves America just as anybody else does. However, he 591 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:37,359 Speaker 4: has a bias towards the financial systems. Right, you got 592 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:38,800 Speaker 4: to give me more in tariffs. 593 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:39,799 Speaker 2: You need to give me more. 594 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,359 Speaker 4: I'm gonna charge your five million dollars for a green card, 595 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:43,319 Speaker 4: whatever it may be. 596 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 2: Not everything's about money, you know. 597 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:50,280 Speaker 4: I mean, you make your films because you're passionate about 598 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 4: filmmaking and about the topics that you're filming and what 599 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,840 Speaker 4: you used to write about. Right, you still write, But 600 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 4: before you made films, you were a writer, and the 601 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 4: money followed that. It wasn't I'm gonna write books because 602 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 4: I'm gonna make millions of dollars. 603 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 2: It was I'm a smart guy. 604 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,520 Speaker 4: I have things to say, I'm gonna write it down, 605 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 4: and if I'm really good, my craft is gonna pay 606 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 4: for itself. I think where Trump is making the mistake 607 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 4: is he's putting the money in front of everything. I'll 608 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,719 Speaker 4: give you a prime example of this, the nesh There's 609 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 4: no better example that I'm going to give you right now. 610 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,799 Speaker 4: If I were truly President Lynch, the first thing I 611 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,360 Speaker 4: would do right now to open up affordability and to 612 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,919 Speaker 4: open up jobs, and to end this nonsense of having 613 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,839 Speaker 4: the ICE agents running around like Keystone cops showing one 614 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 4: guy that they caught and making it like an accomplishment. 615 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:37,959 Speaker 2: When we got forty million people in here. 616 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 4: Illegally, I would put in mandatory everify. It is mandatory 617 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 4: for government, it is mandatory for government contractors, but for 618 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 4: everybody else in the country it's voluntary. So if you 619 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 4: put in mandatory ever a verify in and we were 620 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,239 Speaker 4: to cut the dragon off at the head, many of 621 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 4: these people would self deport because they'd have no more 622 00:35:58,640 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 4: money train. 623 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,759 Speaker 2: The President won't do that. He won't even tweet about it. 624 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 4: And the only time I've ever seen anybody ever ask 625 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,280 Speaker 4: him about it, Denesh, was Steve Hilton on a Fox 626 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 4: News hit going back a couple of years ago, and 627 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,320 Speaker 4: he said, this is what Trump said, his own honesty 628 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 4: sometimes bites him in the ass. He said, I tried 629 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 4: using e verified when we built the hotel here in Washington, DC, 630 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,400 Speaker 4: and we had to go through like twenty six people 631 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 4: before we could. 632 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 2: Find an employee. I mean he sold it for me. 633 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 4: He sold it, and if he were have put that 634 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 4: into place, it would be a problem solver like nothing else. 635 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 4: But he won't because he knows as a contractor it's 636 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 4: a pain and he has to have to go through 637 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 4: that whole process. 638 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 2: Same thing as being a. 639 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,960 Speaker 4: Guy who has wineries and golf clubs who these people 640 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:44,800 Speaker 4: hiring his donor class. 641 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 2: They all want the cheap labor, and he's hearing from people. 642 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 4: If you get rid of these people, the economy has 643 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 4: going to bottom out. No, if you keep these people, 644 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:57,279 Speaker 4: we're going to lose our country. Because here's my big thing. 645 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,439 Speaker 4: We have a military filled of twenty five year old 646 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 4: mostly guys, and at some point they're gonna look at 647 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 4: the United States of America and say, what's in it 648 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,479 Speaker 4: for me? You want me to lay my life down 649 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 4: for this country, and yet I can't even buy a 650 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 4: two bedroom, one bath house. 651 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:15,840 Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? 652 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,799 Speaker 4: You're giving all of our money, you're given, all of 653 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 4: our time over to the Kataris and over the Saudis. 654 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,879 Speaker 2: You're treating You're treating an. 655 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 4: Al Qaeda freaking leader with a ten million dollar bounty 656 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,440 Speaker 4: on his head. You're giving him a state dinner, and 657 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 4: I'm sitting here saying I can't pay the bills. And 658 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:39,239 Speaker 4: so I think if Trump stopped worrying about tomorrow's GDP 659 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,279 Speaker 4: and started worrying about tomorrow's American citizen, it. 660 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 2: Would be totally one hundred percent different. 661 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,239 Speaker 4: And then when you take somebody like Tucker Colson, and 662 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,560 Speaker 4: I see somebody who has made so much money and 663 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 4: so much success because of what America offers him, and 664 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,879 Speaker 4: now he's sitting here and he's crapping on it by 665 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,480 Speaker 4: going over and justifying, making it sound like the Kataris 666 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 4: are mother Teresa. 667 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:04,920 Speaker 2: I mean, it's just insane. 668 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,239 Speaker 4: I mean, I'm buying a property because I think this 669 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 4: place is beautiful. They freaking treat women like their goats. 670 00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,480 Speaker 4: If you're gay, you're gonna get thrown off a building. 671 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 4: If you touch something that isn't yours, they're gonna chop 672 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:18,959 Speaker 4: off your hand. I hear Tucker saying the other day, well, 673 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 4: you know, if you've got a Lamborghini and you leave 674 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,720 Speaker 4: the keys in the ignition and it doesn't get stolen, 675 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:26,359 Speaker 4: that's not so bad with that stupid laugh, Yeah, because 676 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,319 Speaker 4: if you touch it, they're gonna murder you. And so 677 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,719 Speaker 4: this guy is normalizing it in the same way that 678 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 4: Trump normalized an al Qada freaking piece of garbage. Then 679 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:39,319 Speaker 4: the Saudi prince, and then Ma'm Danny. They're normalizing this. 680 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,239 Speaker 4: And this is why our youth, this is why you're 681 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 4: going up against the nip twentes, and they've been sold. 682 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:45,840 Speaker 2: This bag of goods. 683 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,120 Speaker 4: And so I look at this and I blame I 684 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 4: blame Tucker Colson, I blame Candace Olwens. I blame all 685 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,279 Speaker 4: these people who are just switching things around and making 686 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 4: it sound like Islam is our best friend. 687 00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,120 Speaker 2: It is our worst enemy. 688 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I think the very good thing you're doing here, Dennis, 689 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:08,880 Speaker 1: is that you are very passionately articulating an America First 690 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 1: agenda that is done without going the Tucker Candice route. 691 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,719 Speaker 1: In other words, I think the way that Tucker and 692 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 1: Candace like to see the world, it's them on the 693 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,759 Speaker 1: one side, and like Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin on 694 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,719 Speaker 1: the other. And it's pretty easy to say, well, those 695 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 1: guys are Israel first. Those guys don't care about America. 696 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,959 Speaker 1: I do. And what you're saying is no, I really do. 697 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:43,960 Speaker 1: And a true America First agenda would be genuinely America first, 698 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,239 Speaker 1: and wouldn't cozy up to Shariah and wouldn't cozy up 699 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:52,640 Speaker 1: to Qatar, recognizing that these people are highly duplicitous. I mean, 700 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 1: Israel may have its problems, but getting into bed with 701 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,920 Speaker 1: these guys too, you know, as an alternative is worse when. 702 00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:02,920 Speaker 4: You uh yeah, I mean, look, you're gonna get me started. 703 00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:04,719 Speaker 4: If I get two wild, you gotta slow me down. 704 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:05,640 Speaker 4: Put your hands up like this. 705 00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 2: Look. 706 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,920 Speaker 4: I am not anti Israel. I'm not pro Israel. I'm 707 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 4: pro America. I got veterans, mothers and children sleeping in 708 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:16,640 Speaker 4: the streets. 709 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 1: You know. 710 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:18,880 Speaker 2: I made a film. I'm not looking a pitch. 711 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:20,960 Speaker 4: I made a film called the United States A Tents 712 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,280 Speaker 4: going back years ago, and it was on Amazon Prime 713 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 4: and it was one of the biggest films there on 714 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:27,360 Speaker 4: Amazon Prime for a while. 715 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,520 Speaker 2: So I understand who's in the streets. 716 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:33,440 Speaker 4: And there is this misconception that it's all alcoholics and 717 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:37,200 Speaker 4: crack users. No, what happens is they become crack users 718 00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,840 Speaker 4: and alcoholics because they go down that slide. 719 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,359 Speaker 2: And what happens is there, you know, it's episodic. 720 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,200 Speaker 4: Something happens, somebody gets sick, something else in their life happens, 721 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,040 Speaker 4: and all of a sudden they're living in a friend's house. 722 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,200 Speaker 4: Then it's living in a car, then it's a tent, 723 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 4: and then it's in the in the sidewalk. 724 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,360 Speaker 2: So when I see my country. 725 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,840 Speaker 4: Ailing the way it is, my feeling is just like 726 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,279 Speaker 4: when you get on a plane, Denesh, what happens the 727 00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,719 Speaker 4: air masks come down, You put it on your face first, 728 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 4: and then the person next to you, because if you're 729 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,040 Speaker 4: not healthy, you can't help the person next to you, 730 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,839 Speaker 4: even if it's your kid. Right, So what happens now 731 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,960 Speaker 4: we're sitting here worrying everything about anti Israel, pro Israel, 732 00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:12,239 Speaker 4: anti this, anti that? 733 00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:13,800 Speaker 2: What about just being pro America? 734 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,279 Speaker 4: And when everybody's on the path to the American dream, 735 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,560 Speaker 4: we could reach our hands out around the world and 736 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,680 Speaker 4: help everybody that we possibly can. Now, in terms of Israel, 737 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,280 Speaker 4: I'm always gonna look at Israel a little bit differently 738 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,840 Speaker 4: than I do Quitar, let's say, because Israel in the 739 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,439 Speaker 4: back of my I know in my mind, I've lived 740 00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 4: nine to eleven. I know what things are like when 741 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,160 Speaker 4: you're worried about you're gonna get bombed every day. Israel 742 00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,239 Speaker 4: is basically sleeping with one eye open twenty four seven 743 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,919 Speaker 4: three sixty five. They're circled by around people who want 744 00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,520 Speaker 4: to take them out. Their doctrine is to take them out. 745 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:48,000 Speaker 4: Some of these countries totally bs, like oh yeah, no, 746 00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:49,160 Speaker 4: we don't have a problem with Israel. 747 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,920 Speaker 2: No, that's Takia. And then the other ones just don't hold. 748 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 4: It back, like Iran, we want you dead. So my 749 00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,840 Speaker 4: feeling is Iran. They you know, they're a bad actor. 750 00:41:58,080 --> 00:41:59,800 Speaker 4: All the other ones are mostly bad actors. 751 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:01,080 Speaker 2: Want Israel gone. 752 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,280 Speaker 4: I feel for Israel, but I'm not gonna put Israel's 753 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:05,879 Speaker 4: interest in front of my own. 754 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:07,759 Speaker 2: That's it. It doesn't mean I have to be pro 755 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:08,880 Speaker 2: or anti anybody. 756 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,440 Speaker 4: And like you said, Tucker and all these other people 757 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:16,239 Speaker 4: are making America first dictated and measured whether or not 758 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,360 Speaker 4: you are anti or pro Israel. And I can't believe it. 759 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,520 Speaker 4: On my Facebook page, how many people are commenting. I mean, 760 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,720 Speaker 4: if I say something like why is Tucker Calson and Katar? 761 00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:27,200 Speaker 2: You know what I get back?

The question to be explored here is the 810 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:17,879 Speaker 1: immortality of the soul, because no conception of life after 811 00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:22,080 Speaker 1: death is possible without the idea that we have immortal 812 00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:28,200 Speaker 1: souls and those souls endure after death. There can be 813 00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:33,960 Speaker 1: some argument or disagreement about whether there's something else that 814 00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:37,280 Speaker 1: endures after death, the soul plus a different kind of body, 815 00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:42,160 Speaker 1: or just the soul by itself, but there's no question 816 00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 1: that if the soul doesn't live on, then we don't either. 817 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:54,640 Speaker 1: Now this brings us to the key question of how 818 00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:58,719 Speaker 1: do you account for the soul within the framework of 819 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:04,799 Speaker 1: reductive materialism. Reductive materialism is simply the idea that we 820 00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:08,799 Speaker 1: are material substances through and through, and that we can 821 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:14,120 Speaker 1: be reduced to those material objects, which is to say, 822 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:22,720 Speaker 1: nerves and arteries and valves and heart and physical brain 823 00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:27,279 Speaker 1: and neurons and cells, and that's kind of all there is. 824 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:35,400 Speaker 1: Now we're dealing here with a formidable ideology, reductive materialism, 825 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:41,120 Speaker 1: that is also embraced by a lot of scientists, and 826 00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,200 Speaker 1: it's embraced by scientists partly for the reason that it's 827 00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:47,279 Speaker 1: easy to study a neuron. Well, not easy, but you 828 00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:51,160 Speaker 1: can do it. You can study an arm or a leg. 829 00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,239 Speaker 1: But there are other things about human beings that are 830 00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:59,200 Speaker 1: very difficult to study. Let's take something as simple as pain. 831 00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:07,319 Speaker 1: How does a neuroscientist or a surgeon study pain. They 832 00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,160 Speaker 1: don't know if you're in pain or not. If you 833 00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:12,400 Speaker 1: go to the doctor and say, guess what I am 834 00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,399 Speaker 1: either in pain or I'm not in pain, you tell 835 00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,759 Speaker 1: me which one it is, they can't. It doesn't matter 836 00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:22,120 Speaker 1: how many examinations they do. They are not able to 837 00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:25,920 Speaker 1: answer that question anymore than they can answer a question 838 00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:29,440 Speaker 1: where you approach. Let's just say as psychiatrist and say, okay, 839 00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:35,040 Speaker 1: I am thinking of one of I'm thinking of a 840 00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,399 Speaker 1: number between one and one hundred. You tell me what 841 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,720 Speaker 1: it is. He can't do it. And again, it doesn't 842 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,320 Speaker 1: matter if he did a pet scan or a brain scan. 843 00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:49,200 Speaker 1: They don't know. So we have this immaterial part of 844 00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:55,560 Speaker 1: ourselves that is accessible seemingly only to us. So here's 845 00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:59,040 Speaker 1: another way to put it. As human beings, we have 846 00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:05,799 Speaker 1: two types of experience, outer experience and inner experience. So 847 00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:09,560 Speaker 1: what is outer experience. Well, our outer experience includes things 848 00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:16,440 Speaker 1: like trains and lakes and pebbles and staplers. But we 849 00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:20,360 Speaker 1: also have this thing called inner experience, which is thoughts 850 00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:29,279 Speaker 1: and ideas and feelings and decisions and the will and awareness. 851 00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:35,600 Speaker 1: And this inner experience is exclusive to us. And because 852 00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,040 Speaker 1: if we keep it to ourselves, if we say nothing 853 00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:42,840 Speaker 1: about it, it would be invisible to others. Let's just 854 00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:45,319 Speaker 1: say that there was a robot monitoring you or me, 855 00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:49,280 Speaker 1: they would be able to monitor outer experience. Well, Danesh 856 00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:51,400 Speaker 1: got up in the morning and he ate breakfast, and 857 00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,880 Speaker 1: he went here, and he went there, But the inner 858 00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:57,719 Speaker 1: experience would be concealed, would be would be hidden. Now, 859 00:48:57,760 --> 00:48:59,600 Speaker 1: this view that human beings are made up of two 860 00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:05,040 Speaker 1: kinds of stuff, physical stuff and mental stuff. Or let's 861 00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:09,319 Speaker 1: put it differently, material stuff and immaterial stuff, this is 862 00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:13,359 Speaker 1: called dualism. Dualism referring to the number two. There are 863 00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:17,640 Speaker 1: two kinds of substances, the material and the immaterial. And 864 00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:21,480 Speaker 1: the great champion of dualism was the philosopher Many Descartes. 865 00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:26,359 Speaker 1: And Descartes dualism the idea that we are, on the 866 00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:31,960 Speaker 1: one hand, bodies but also minds. This is something that 867 00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:35,920 Speaker 1: also conforms to common sense. I think people in the 868 00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:39,319 Speaker 1: world from the beginning of time have generally believed that 869 00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:45,000 Speaker 1: we have physical dimensions to ourselves, and then we also 870 00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:50,240 Speaker 1: have a non physical or immaterial dimension. I think people 871 00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:53,799 Speaker 1: have believed something like this long before Dascartes, and as 872 00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:55,799 Speaker 1: I say, all over the world people who have no 873 00:49:55,840 --> 00:50:00,479 Speaker 1: familiarity with Daycartes at all. So this, this is where 874 00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:05,719 Speaker 1: the idea of dualism gets its kind of common sensical plausibility. 875 00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:10,760 Speaker 1: But dualism in this way has a problem, a difficult 876 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,520 Speaker 1: problem to solve, and at least a problem that is 877 00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:17,200 Speaker 1: especially vivid when you think of it in terms of 878 00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:21,840 Speaker 1: what science is and what science does. And here's the problem, 879 00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:28,400 Speaker 1: very simply, how does a mind act upon a body, 880 00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:30,879 Speaker 1: or to put it somewhere differently, how does an immaterial 881 00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:34,760 Speaker 1: thing act upon a material thing we know it does? 882 00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,800 Speaker 1: I can, for example, my will is immaterial, my mind 883 00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,279 Speaker 1: is immaterial. But I say I'm going to go get 884 00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,840 Speaker 1: an ice cream and then I go do it. So 885 00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:47,880 Speaker 1: clearly my mind is acting on my body. But how 886 00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:51,080 Speaker 1: and what I mean by how is this? In the 887 00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:56,200 Speaker 1: physical world, objects can only be moved by other objects. 888 00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:01,879 Speaker 1: Mind cannot move matter. Here's the experiment. I'm standing next 889 00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:06,680 Speaker 1: to let's just say, a billiard table, and there are 890 00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,160 Speaker 1: all these balls on the table, and I say, I'm 891 00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:12,080 Speaker 1: going to use my mind and my will to move 892 00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:13,719 Speaker 1: a ball. Can I do it? 893 00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:14,759 Speaker 2: No? 894 00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:18,640 Speaker 1: I can't do it. It doesn't matter if I go, you know, ball, 895 00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:21,080 Speaker 1: Come on, you can do it. Let's move, let's move, 896 00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,520 Speaker 1: let's go. The ball is going to just sit there. 897 00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,560 Speaker 1: The only way to move that ball is to hit 898 00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:31,480 Speaker 1: it with a stick or with another ball. So, in 899 00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:36,720 Speaker 1: the world of science, physical objects are required to move 900 00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:40,640 Speaker 1: other physical objects. And yet we know from our own 901 00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:46,879 Speaker 1: life that minds in fact can direct bodies. I can say, 902 00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:49,600 Speaker 1: for example, right now, I can say I want to 903 00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:53,680 Speaker 1: lift up my arm and scratch my head, and for 904 00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:57,960 Speaker 1: me thinking about it can then cause me to do it. 905 00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:02,680 Speaker 1: I make up my mind and then I act. So 906 00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:07,080 Speaker 1: a lot of scientists, because they can't explain how a 907 00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:09,920 Speaker 1: mind can act upon a body, I've sort of given 908 00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,080 Speaker 1: up on the idea of dualism altogether. And what they 909 00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:16,719 Speaker 1: say is, we don't have a mind at least, we 910 00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,880 Speaker 1: don't have a mind separate from the body. All we 911 00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:23,840 Speaker 1: are is bodies. That's who we are, and our mind 912 00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:28,560 Speaker 1: is some sort of a epi phenomenon is a kind 913 00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:33,319 Speaker 1: of commonly used expression, well, not commonly used by Tom 914 00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,759 Speaker 1: Dick and Harry on the Street, but commonly used to 915 00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:41,400 Speaker 1: try to explain how a body or how a brain, 916 00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:46,359 Speaker 1: how neurons generate thoughts, and the answer of thoughts are 917 00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:49,800 Speaker 1: kind of this epi phenomenon. They kind of spring out 918 00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:53,440 Speaker 1: of this physical object, and they are actually part of 919 00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:58,360 Speaker 1: the object itself. They cannot be identified separate from the 920 00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:02,440 Speaker 1: oject object. They're kind of the attribute or quality of 921 00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:08,600 Speaker 1: the object. Now, this materialism poses a real problem for 922 00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:12,319 Speaker 1: life after death, because if all we are is physical 923 00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:16,759 Speaker 1: bodies or physical objects, there's no question that those objects 924 00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:22,719 Speaker 1: break down, they disintegrate, they get ultimately cremated or put 925 00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:27,120 Speaker 1: into the ground where they dust. Thou art, and dust 926 00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:30,920 Speaker 1: to dust, thou shall return. And so where's the question 927 00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:33,719 Speaker 1: of life after death? And that's all we are? What 928 00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:37,640 Speaker 1: is there to live on? From the materialist point of view, 929 00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:41,160 Speaker 1: there is nothing left to continue on. Everything has been, 930 00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:48,040 Speaker 1: you can say, brought to a close. Now the question 931 00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:53,800 Speaker 1: of whether or not minds can be reduced to bodies, 932 00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:57,560 Speaker 1: or to put it differently, minds can be reduced to brains. 933 00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,280 Speaker 1: This is the question I want to kind of zoom 934 00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:04,880 Speaker 1: in on, and I want to expose a fallacy that 935 00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:10,080 Speaker 1: is very common really in the field of neuroscience. It 936 00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:13,320 Speaker 1: is the fallacy of thinking that because two things are 937 00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:21,120 Speaker 1: regularly correlated, therefore they are the same thing. In other words, 938 00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:23,560 Speaker 1: it is the fallacy of thinking that because two things 939 00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:27,319 Speaker 1: go together, the one is the same as the other. 940 00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:31,640 Speaker 1: And I want to show why that is clearly not 941 00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,439 Speaker 1: the case. So when I pick this up tomorrow, we're 942 00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:37,200 Speaker 1: going to focus on minds and brains. We're going to 943 00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:41,680 Speaker 1: focus on things like MRIs and PET scans, and we're 944 00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:45,800 Speaker 1: going to examine whether it is the case that because 945 00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:50,120 Speaker 1: every time your mind is working you can see something 946 00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:53,840 Speaker 1: happening in your brain, there are particular areas of your mind. 947 00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:57,919 Speaker 1: For example, let's say, certain feelings or thoughts or emotions 948 00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:03,640 Speaker 1: or cognitive reasoning that correlate with the physical substrate, with 949 00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:09,120 Speaker 1: the physical underlying physical substance of the brain. I obviously 950 00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:12,600 Speaker 1: agree that there is this correlation. I also agree that 951 00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,920 Speaker 1: when you are having certain types let's just say, using language, 952 00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:19,759 Speaker 1: we can identify the language part of the brain. But 953 00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:24,520 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that language is the same thing as 954 00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:28,000 Speaker 1: the operation of those neurons. That's the question we're going 955 00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,080 Speaker 1: to zoom into next time. 956 00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:35,239 Speaker 3: Subscribe to the Dinesh DESUSA podcast on Apple, Google, and Spotify, 957 00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:45,399 Speaker 3: or watch on Rumble YouTube and salemnow dot com.
