1 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 1: The newest trend of unconservative young people is Nixon maxing. 2 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 1: A recent article in The Wall Street Journal described the phenomenon. 3 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: Nixon has become a popular figure in viral YouTube, Instagram 4 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 1: and TikTok videos, where his archival footage is typically paired 5 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,480 Speaker 1: with rap music. The Nixon Foundation is actively pushing this content. Now, 6 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: some of this hoopla is mere nostalgia, Nixon maxing, hats 7 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: and Nixon geear Nixon now more than ever, items, and 8 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: so on. 9 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 2: But there's more to it than this. 10 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,599 Speaker 1: Nixon maxing means maxing out on Nixon, going all in 11 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: on Nixon, in a sense, resurrecting Nixon from the dustment 12 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: of history and making him an important and relevant figure again. 13 00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: Nixon has become the younger generation's uncool cool guy. The 14 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: Nixon revival is a bit surprising because for the past 15 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: several decades, the iconic conservative figure was Reagan. Reagan dominated 16 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: the era from nineteen eighty to two thousand and eight 17 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 1: these are my dates for the Reagan era, and Trump 18 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: has dominated from twenty fifteen to now. Other figures Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, 19 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: the two Bushes have been consigned to the shadows. To 20 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: the hazy background of history. Young conservatives, however, seem a 21 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 1: bit out of sync with Reagan. They don't identify with 22 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:36,559 Speaker 1: Reagan's sunny optimism, his big sky conservatism, and so they've 23 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: picked Nixon as a sort of anti Reagan. They picked 24 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: the guy the left hated the most, the president they've 25 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: tried to stomp on for fifty years, and that guy 26 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: is now their new hero. Now I'm not a Nixon Maxer, 27 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: but I think the reappraisal of Nixon is both welcome 28 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: and overdue. Jade Vance recently said nice things about Nixon 29 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: at the Nixon Library, comparing Nixon to Trump. To give 30 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: my own take on Nixon, which comes not from a 31 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: millennial or gen Z, but from someone who came to 32 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,239 Speaker 1: America as a teenager in the aftermath of the Nixon era. 33 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: I came to America in nineteen seventy eight. Nixon had 34 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: been out of office for four years, and Jimmy Carter 35 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: was elected in nineteen seventy six. Now, Republicans suffered a 36 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,839 Speaker 1: terrible wipeout in the midterm election of nineteen seventy four. 37 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: This was the year Nixon resigned his office. Ford was 38 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: the well meaning but clumsy successor. Nixon's failure, I have 39 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: to say, gave Democrats not only the presidency, but large 40 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: majorities in the House and the Senate. Yes, Nixon one 41 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,959 Speaker 1: forty nine states in nineteen seventy two, but he still 42 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: never had the sweeping control of the government that his 43 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: removal and disgrace gave the Democrats. Jimmy Carter almost destroyed 44 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: the country until the American people came to their census 45 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: and elected Reagan. Reagan defined a whole era as Nixon 46 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: did not. Both served two terms and both one with 47 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: big majority. But Reagan had a revolution and Nixon didn't. 48 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: Reagan brought the top marginal tax rate down from seventy 49 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 1: percent to twenty eight percent. Reagan won the Cold War, 50 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: helped deliberate Eastern Europe, and brought down Soviet Communism itself. 51 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: Now what does Nixon have. 52 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 2: To compare to that. 53 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: Well, Nixon went to China and he played an important 54 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: role in breaking a potential Soviet Chinese alliance. In a way, 55 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: he separated the Russian Communists from the Chinese communists. Nixon's 56 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: bold move did contain Soviet expansion, but it opened a 57 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: pathway to closer ties with China. And what has that 58 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: brought us well a mixed bag. China was a sleepy, 59 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: backward nation when Nixon went there. Since Nixon opened up China, 60 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: it's become more dangerous than the Soviet Union ever was. 61 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: It's now an economic and military juggernaut, basically the manufacturing 62 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: hub of the world, and China's become our new rival 63 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: and adversary. So the Soviet bear has been displaced by 64 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: the Chinese dragon. Reagan described the Soviet Union as an 65 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: evil empire. Nixon never understood the ideological dimension of Soviet totalitarianism. 66 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: For him, the Russians were no different than the Prussian 67 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: Empire or Napoleon. Nixon studied Klauswitz and Sunsu to learn 68 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: how great powers deal with one another. Nixon was into 69 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: the art of warfare because that's what statesmanship was for him, 70 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 1: and art. He agreed with the Democrats and the need 71 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: for arms control, but insisted on what he called hard 72 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 1: headed deton He scorned Reagan's goal of rolling back the 73 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:40,799 Speaker 1: Soviet Empire itself, regarding that prospect as an ideological pipe dream, foolish, reckless, 74 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: and dangerous. Now domestically, Nixon was a liberal. Not only 75 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: did he lavishly fund New Deal in great society projects. 76 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: He's also, in a sense, the founder of DEI. When 77 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 1: Lyndon Johnson advocated for government sponsored affirmative action, the first 78 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: significant affirmative action project on the part of the government 79 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: was carried out by Nixon. He backed racial preferences for 80 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 1: blacks in the public sector unions in Philadelphia. Nixon's program 81 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: was called the Philadelphia Plan. Now, Nixon's motive was Machiavelli, 82 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: and Nixon was a sneaky political operative. He knew the 83 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,359 Speaker 1: Philadelphia unions were dominated by working class white Democrats. He 84 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 1: wanted to drive a wedge between the blacks and the 85 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: working class whites. So this was his reason for pushing 86 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,799 Speaker 1: affirmative action or DEI. But hey, in the end, Nixon's 87 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: maneuver backfire. The Democrats got the blacks and they kept 88 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: the white working class. 89 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 2: The joke was on Nixon. 90 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: The EI became expanded and embedded in the American workforce, 91 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 1: first in the public sector and then in the private sector. 92 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: So Nixon, I'm sorry to say, had a big role 93 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: in starting it. Nixon was not really a conservative. How 94 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: could he be. He didn't even know what conservatism was. 95 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,799 Speaker 1: He was certainly a patriot and anti communist. That's why 96 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: he liked Pat Buchanan so much. Buchanan, too was fiercely 97 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: pro man American and anti communist. But Buchanan recounts in 98 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: his autobiography how Nixon kept asking him, Pat, who are 99 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: these conservatives? What did the conservatives believe? Nixon was asking 100 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: as an outsider. Not only did he not regard himself 101 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: as a conservative, but he viewed conservatives as some strange breed, 102 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,919 Speaker 1: and he had to investigate. 103 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 2: Who they were and what they believed. 104 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: For these reasons, Nixon's blindness to Soviet ideology, his welfare 105 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: state liberalism, his role in affirmative action and DEI, and 106 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: his manifest ignorance of conservatism, many conservatives at the time 107 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: did not like Nixon. Several times did I hear the 108 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: publisher of National Review, Bill Rusher say I hated Nixon 109 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: until Watergate. Russia's point is that only when the left 110 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: tried to destroy Nixon did conservatives rush to his defense. 111 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: Given all this, I asked myself, what is the great 112 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: appeal of Nixon? 113 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 3: Now? 114 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: Why do young people today find Nixon a more interesting 115 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: figure than Reagan? Why do we have Nixon maxing but 116 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: no Reagan maxing? Is this simply a case of the 117 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: younger generation rebelling against its elders and picking its own guy? 118 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 2: Well? 119 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: Maybe, but why him? I think a single experience I 120 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: had with Nixon, the one time I met Richard Nixon, 121 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: the one time I got a photo with Richard Nixon, 122 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: might help to answer this question. I can't remember the 123 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: year exactly, it was in the early to mid nineteen nineties. 124 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: I lived in Washington, d C, where I was a 125 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. Several of my a 126 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: Dartmouth buddies, about ten of us also came to d 127 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: C to be part of the Reagan Revolution, and we 128 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: asked ourselves who is the person we would like most 129 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: to meet? We had a list, was it Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, 130 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: like Valenza Gorbachev, Pope John Paul the Second. We agreed 131 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: that the person we most wanted to meet not the 132 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: most consequential person, but the most interesting, was Richard Nixon. 133 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 2: But how to meet him? Well. 134 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: One of our group, Greg Fasstal, a dartmucd grad who 135 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: worked as an editorial writer at the Wall Street Journal, 136 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: was a Nixon admirer. Greg was brilliant, but also a 137 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: little bit of an extra centric and Nixon was also eccentric. 138 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: So Greg identified with Nixon, and he had several years 139 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: earlier written a letter to Nixon, and Nixon at courteously replied, So, 140 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: Greg was kind of our in with Nixon, But what 141 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: to say to him? We came up with the idea 142 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: of inviting him to address the Dartmouth Breakfast Club. Of course, 143 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: there was no such thing as a Dartmouth Breakfast Club, 144 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: but on the spot we started it. We made up 145 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: a letterhead and Greg sent an invitation to Nixon. To 146 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: our amazement, he said, yes, we had breakfast, if I 147 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: recall correctly, at the hay Adams Hotel. We rented a 148 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: room and had a photographer. That's how I got my 149 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: photo with Nixon. He was very generous with us. After 150 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: the breakfast, he gave a fifteen minute talk on foreign policy, 151 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: a brief tour de horizon of current events. He took questions, 152 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: and it's one of those questions and his reply that 153 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: has stayed with. 154 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 2: Me over all these years. 155 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: Now, Greg, who was never shy to ask awkward questions, 156 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: put this question to Nixon. How is it He asked 157 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: that Reagan survived the Iran contrast, but you were forced 158 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: to resign over Watergate. In both cases, the Democrats tried 159 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: to impeach and destroy a Republican president. 160 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 2: But in Reagan's case they failed. With you. 161 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: They didn't impeach you, but they did get you out 162 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 1: of office. So what did Reagan have that you didn't 163 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,559 Speaker 1: A bombshell of a question. Now, Nixon paused, he he scowled, 164 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: a famous Nixon scowl. I could see he was annoyed. 165 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: I mean, got to feel a little uncomfortable. Several people 166 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: in our group gave Greg a dirty look. We were like, 167 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: how could you ask that? And then Nixon replied it 168 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: was one line, very nixony. And Nixon said, ah, yes, 169 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan. Well, at least he could say he was stupid. 170 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 2: And there you have it. 171 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: What an insight. Not so much into Reagan as into Nixon. 172 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: Nixon never understood how Reagan survived, but he didn't. More broadly, 173 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: he never understood how Reagan succeeded in transforming the world, 174 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: and he didn't. Nixon always considered himself smarter than Reagan, 175 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 1: and academically. 176 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 2: Speaking, he was. 177 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: Thus, Nixon concluded that Reagan's secret was his stupidity. People 178 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: expected Reagan to be clueless about Iran contra. I don't 179 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: know what happened, and that's how he got away with it. 180 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: No one would say Nixon was stupid, and therefore Nixon 181 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: couldn't claim ignorance, and that's why he was held fully 182 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: accountable for all the deceptions around Watergates. So here in 183 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: a nutshell, we see several of Nixon's signature qualities, which 184 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: become even more clear when they are contrasted with Reagan's qualities. 185 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: Reagan was fundamentally an optimist, and that optimism characterized the 186 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: Reagan era and also the Reagan generation, me included that 187 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: came of age in that era. Nixon was fundamentally a pessimist, 188 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: as I guessed many of his contemporary millennial and gen 189 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: Z admirers also are. Nixon was also paranoid, and we 190 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,559 Speaker 1: see this from the Watergate scandal itself. Remember, Nixon was 191 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: on the verge of winning forty nine states. It was 192 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: not exactly a close presidential election in nineteen seventy two. 193 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: So what's the justification for organizing elaborate spying campaigns on 194 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,839 Speaker 1: the other side than you have to do so elaborate 195 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: covers up and then you have to do elaborate cover ups, 196 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: and you end up throwing away your presidency over the scandal. 197 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: Nixon is no longer with us, but as paranoia surely is. 198 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: In fact, we live in a paranoid epoch of Nixonian dimensions. 199 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,839 Speaker 1: I can see how the paranoia of our own era 200 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: where it came from. It came from numerous conspiracy theories 201 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: coming true. It came from previously trusted institutions, the CDC, 202 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 1: the nihd FBI, all forfeiting their public trust. It also 203 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: came from bitter disappointments in American society, the outsourcing of jobs, 204 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: the march of technology that also takes away jobs, the 205 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: erosion of the family and the old civic sense of community, 206 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: the collapse of normal dating and courtship, the experience of 207 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: censorship and political targeting, and in general, the brutishness of 208 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: the left. All of this is not only fostered paranoia, 209 00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: but also a profound sense of victimization, since paranoia and 210 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: his sense of victimization are both palpable. Even in the 211 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: one incident I recounted, Nixon remained paranoid to the end. 212 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: He never gave up the sense that he was shafted. 213 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: And here's the thing. He was right to be paranoid. 214 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: Remember the saying, even paranoids have enemies. Nixon feared the 215 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: Eastern establishment, even the Eastern establishment in his own party, 216 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 1: and he was right to fear them. He hated the 217 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: Ivy League people and the mainstream media, and he thought 218 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,199 Speaker 1: they were out to get him, as they were. Some 219 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: of the most amazing material in the Nixon libraries tape 220 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: recordings of Nixon talking about Jews and Ivy leaguers. He 221 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: says things like, Henry, there are too many Jews on 222 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: the invitation list, or Henry, I don't want to have 223 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: dinner with anyone who went to the Ivy League. He 224 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: hated those people, and in the end, I suppose they 225 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: got him. So Nixon was justified also in regarding himself 226 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: to be a victim. He was in fact ousted in 227 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: a coup that goes by the name of Watergates. So 228 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: I can understand to appoint young people's enthusiasm for this 229 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: strange fellow who took on an all powerful establishment and 230 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: the paranoid conspiratorial belief that it was secretly arrayed against him. 231 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: Nixon's paranoia, his conspiracy mindedness, even his borderline craziness, have 232 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: many counterparts on our social media platforms today, and in 233 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: some ways what they like best about Nixon is that 234 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: he lost. They destroyed his presidency and his reputation, and 235 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: this confirms the notion of an omnipotent, omniscient elite that 236 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: always wins in the end. Many young people today don't 237 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: really see a way out. They don't see a way 238 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: to win. They expect to lose, and they want to 239 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: lose like Nixon, ignominiously, to be sure, but also in 240 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: a way that supports and confirms the utter feelings of hopelessness. 241 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: Here's the mantra of the Nixon maxers. See, we told 242 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: you we were doomed, and now we are just like 243 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: we said. I suppose it could be said of Nixon 244 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 1: that he remained interesting even in defeat. He said things 245 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: like you won't have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore, 246 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: which is not surprising for the bitterness, but but surprising 247 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,199 Speaker 1: that someone would publicly say it. He was more of 248 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: a thinker than a doer. He read the nineteenth century 249 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: historians as Reagan didn't. He didn't defeat the Soviet Empire 250 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,959 Speaker 1: as Reagan did, but he could give an analysis of 251 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 1: Russian history in a manner that Reagan never could. Kissinger 252 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: and his memoirs recounts the culmination of a brilliant negotiation 253 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: in the Middle East. He was astounded by Nixon's grasp 254 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: of events and his negotiating prowess, and Kissinger writes his 255 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: regret was that Hey, even now, he says, Watergate is 256 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: closing in on Nixon. So from Kissinger's point of view, 257 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: a great thinker and strategist of a kind America rarely 258 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: gets was being undone kick. Kissinger saw it almost in 259 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: terms of Greek tragedy. Nixon was ultimately defeated not by 260 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: his foreign adversaries, but by his Hamartia, his own tragic flaw. 261 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: Nixon wanted to be a populist, and he used the 262 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: campaign theme of the forgotten man in his nineteen seventy 263 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: two campaign. He was quite right to stand up for 264 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: the ordinary American against the hippies, the druggies, the nudists, 265 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: the angry feminists, and the Black power revolutionaries. Yet while 266 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: Nixon identified with the working class American, he didn't relate 267 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,239 Speaker 1: to him. He remained aloof an insular, a real contrast 268 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: with a genuine populist like Trump. Nixon was a loyal friend, 269 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: but he was also a great hater. He didn't conceal 270 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: his envy of Reagan. All it took was a single 271 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: question to bring it into full display. He was still 272 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: the guy who walked with his two arms moving in 273 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: the same direction, not swinging opposite ways like most people. 274 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 2: He was still the. 275 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: Guy who walked in the beach in his leather shoes. 276 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: The philosopher Nietzsche said of the Greek tragedians that they 277 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: took the crushing burden of human suffering and made it interesting. 278 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: Nixon was a deeply flawed man, but he had a 279 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: way of making the world and himself interesting. We never 280 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: regretted our choice to have breakfast with him. He might 281 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: not help us come to terms with our situation in 282 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: America today or with our future, but he does help 283 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: us gain a better understanding of him and perhaps also ourselves. 284 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: And that's the way I see it. Here's the thing 285 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: about crypto. It's here to stay. That argument is over. 286 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: But think about if this is a market that never sleeps, 287 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: it's moving at midnight, it's two am, three am, and 288 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: while you're asleep, who's watching Because here's what nobody tells you. 289 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: Most crypto platforms give you a log in, wish. 290 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,359 Speaker 2: You luck and call it a day. That's not investing. 291 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: That's gambling with your retirement and hoping for the best. 292 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: That's why I've partnered with block trust Ira.

If 338 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: you get into a war and you have clear objectives, 339 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: the simple truth of it is, if you then turn 340 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,199 Speaker 1: around and say, well, yes, we've lost seven men, or 341 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 1: Iran fired a missile and it got through to Israel 342 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: and killed two dogs, you're talking about a really powerful country. 343 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: If you had to specify in advance, you would expect 344 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 1: that there would be enormous casualties in Middle Eastern countries, 345 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: in Israel, that Iran would be hitting American targets on 346 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: a daily basis. 347 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 2: This is a war. 348 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 1: So what I'm suggesting here is that what Destiny is 349 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 1: doing here is setting up an absurd calculus. Iran is endured, 350 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: Well what alternative they have? A guy getting his ass 351 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: kicked in ana fight is enduring, but that doesn't mean 352 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: he's winning. Similarly, Iran is able to lash out here 353 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: and lash out. 354 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 2: There, which we would fully expect. 355 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: They're grabbing onto their own backyard. No surprise, they're unable 356 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 1: to maintain even control over their old network. So we've 357 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 1: disrupted the whole Iranian system. 358 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 2: So when you talk about. 359 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 1: Places like Russia and China, they're like, Trump actually is 360 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: willing to use force. He's willing to do it prudently, 361 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: but he is willing to kick ass. And this was 362 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 1: what makes him different from, for example, an absolute mindless 363 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, a giggling, idiotic Kamala Harris. So again, when 364 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,639 Speaker 1: you're measuring Trump, you have to measure him against the 365 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: absolutely impermissible alternative. Can you imagine what America would have 366 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: been like the Democrats one? Can you imagine the world 367 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: we'd be living in, the rottedness of the system would continue, 368 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: the censorship would be accelerated, the surveillance would be going on. 369 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: There would be political targeting to a degree that we 370 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: probably never imagined. Trump would probably be serving a life sentence. 371 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: So this is who these people are, this is what 372 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: they do, and I just Trump has liberated us from that. 373 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 5: So it basically every single thing of senators is not true, 374 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 5: not true. But I mean, I guess the metal meats 375 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 5: the road. I mean here with the rubbers the road. 376 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,880 Speaker 5: I guess what do you think a successful end state 377 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 5: for Iran looks like? What do you think it's going 378 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,479 Speaker 5: to look like for the United States to leave that 379 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 5: conflict to emerge feeling like we were victorious, because I 380 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 5: will tell you that when Obama was in office, supposedly 381 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 5: inep president who didn't know what he was doing when 382 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 5: it came to foreign policy, we had a deal on 383 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 5: the table with inspectors in the country, and we had 384 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 5: a pathway to some kind of normalization with Iran, where 385 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 5: there was still intense pressure on that country. When Trump 386 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,199 Speaker 5: came into the first term, he tore up the JCP 387 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 5: away with nothing to replace it with. He set off 388 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 5: the Abraham Accords and claimed piece of the Middle East 389 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 5: without dealing with the Palestinian issue. Biden comes in and 390 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 5: lo and behold what happens. Every time the Palestinians are ignored, 391 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 5: they rise up and they do an attack. It happened 392 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 5: with the first Hintevada, It happened with a second intevada, 393 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 5: and it happened with October seventh. Go you know, go 394 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 5: figure big surprise. Trump comes in the next time after 395 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 5: achieving peace in the Middle East, and then he comes 396 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 5: in and he does peace in the Middle East again 397 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 5: by attacking Iran. 398 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:24,239 Speaker 2: And then he's done. 399 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 5: Pieces in the Middle East again by getting us in 400 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 5: a war with Irun. What does the end state here 401 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 5: look like? Because all I see is Trump making bad decisions, 402 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 5: the bad decisions playing out and literally the most obvious 403 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 5: manner possible, and then not knowing how we're going to 404 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 5: come out of the bad position better than we were before, 405 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 5: and conservative somehow trying to pretend like it was a 406 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 5: win every single step of the way. So yes, I'll 407 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 5: ask what is a good what is a positive resolution? 408 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 5: Where you would you would look at our exit from 409 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 5: Iran ago that was a really good idea that we 410 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 5: attacked that you know, we've this. 411 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: Is our second time debating and I what frustrates mean 412 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: debating you is that you I think you have the 413 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: wrong self conception, that you are somehow presenting fast and 414 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 1: you will use terms like you will use terms like 415 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: this is positive uh, or this is progress or so 416 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: for example, you start off with an almost devotional premise, 417 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: which is that Obama was trying to stop Iran from 418 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: getting a nuclear weapon. 419 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 2: My premise is the opposite. 420 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: Obama was trying to help Iran to get a nuclear 421 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: weapon while publicly professing the opposite to his domestic political audience. 422 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 2: Why couldn't they do that in eight years? Then that 423 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 2: was Obama's goal. 424 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,239 Speaker 5: He triggered his own side into a massive riot at 425 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 5: the Capitol on January sixth. So I don't know what 426 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 5: you mean when you say. 427 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: They look this is like, this is like Vogue magazine 428 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: saying Michelle Obama's the most beautiful woman in America. 429 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 2: Right, everybody knows it's false. 430 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 1: Everybody knows it's to lie or Dylan mcveahey is actually 431 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 1: a gorgeous woman. 432 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 5: This kind is just the same why that Donald Trump 433 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 5: tells us when he says he loves his beautiful wife 434 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 5: when he which she was at home. 435 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 2: Taking care of their newborn child. 436 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 5: I mean, we can, like, come on, Donald Trump is 437 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 5: not a. 438 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: One says that Trump hasn't been a playboy in his 439 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: earlier days, but. 440 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 2: Such a pay her for sex? 441 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we can do a lot of this stuff 442 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: is claims and counterclaims. And we will also live in 443 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: a system, unfortunately, where even juries have become untrustworthy and 444 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: theized environment. A case in point is the January sixth defendants. 445 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,880 Speaker 1: Most of those guys went before absolutely one sided juries. 446 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,880 Speaker 2: Eleven out of twelve Democrats. 447 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: Not a jury of their peers. Again, should they have 448 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 1: broken at the capitol. No, but where they over prosecuted, 449 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 1: over punished. People actually took their lives over this incident, 450 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,479 Speaker 1: committed suicide. The Biden administration did that to them, and 451 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,199 Speaker 1: it did that to them. Really why because many of 452 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 1: those people were white, male, Christian and conservative. The truth 453 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 1: about standing is every citizen has a stake in the election, 454 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: and so you would think that any citizen who brought 455 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: a case on this matter, you'd buy, like, okay, let's 456 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: look at it, right. There were a lot of, by 457 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 1: the way, suggestive reasons. It's not as if this just 458 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: came out of nowhere. The windows boarded up stopping five 459 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 1: places stop the count within a few seconds of each other. 460 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:24,439 Speaker 2: Think about this. 461 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 1: Supposedly each state is conducting their own count, and yet 462 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: they all stop the count at the same time. 463 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 2: And to this day, you don't know and I don't know, 464 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 2: and he doesn't know who gave the order. That's none 465 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 2: of the well who gave the order. 466 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: The idea that all the states stopped counting the same 467 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,919 Speaker 1: They all stopped counting within a few seconds of each other. 468 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 2: They literally not okay, literally none of this is true. 469 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 5: But okay, there's a reason why you guys can't point 470 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 5: to any court documents, any filings, anything that demonstrates the 471 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 5: truthfulness of anything. It's why the guy the only guys 472 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 5: that defend this idea are the crazy my pillow dude 473 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 5: who sells pillows for fourteen dollars in eighty eight cents. 474 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 2: On his website. Mike Lindell. Yeah, we can watch the video. 475 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 5: We can watch There's hours of footage of Sidney Powell 476 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 5: lying to people, lying to these committees that are listening 477 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:11,919 Speaker 5: to them talk about all the fake votes. We can 478 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 5: see the State Farm arena footage where she says, we 479 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 5: don't know where the boxes came from. They who were 480 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 5: literally counting them, they put them under the table and 481 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 5: then they brought them back out. The full video footage exists. 482 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 5: There's a reason why they can't even make standing on 483 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 5: these cases. 484 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:22,439 Speaker 3: You are right. 485 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 2: There were a lot of people that. 486 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 5: Would have had standing to bring these types of cases, 487 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 5: but none of the cases had good merits, and the 488 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 5: judges knew that people like you, who's who had nice 489 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 5: interactions with Trump, would be doing propaganda form. Even the 490 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 5: ones that were thrown out on standing, the judges addressed 491 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 5: the merits of those cases. If you'd read a single 492 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 5: one of those decisions, you would have actually seen that 493 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 5: they had the ability to make all of this evidence public. 494 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 5: Sidney Palgulni, where is it? Where is all of the investigation? 495 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 5: Whereas all of the public evidence for all of the 496 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 5: Tina Peters people they had digging through these machines in 497 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 5: the background. Notice that there is not a scintilla a 498 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 5: positive evidence that there was a single vote that was 499 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 5: actually changed or rigged or anything that proper happened anywhere. 500 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,120 Speaker 5: Why did they lose on every single court case, even 501 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 5: when there were judges that looking over this that were 502 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 5: Trump nominated, Trump appointed judges. 503 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, so the judges were scared to get into it. 504 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 1: Hold on, because they judge by and large is in 505 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 1: the judicial lane and they don't want a second guest 506 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: an election process. It's too complicated. They've never done it before. 507 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 2: Let me forget hold on, what do you talk? 508 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: Let me let me give you the big picture here 509 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: that I think will convince reasonable people that something fishy 510 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: happened in a big way. I'm not talking about ten 511 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: guys from a nursing home. So Obama got sixty five 512 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: million votes in two thousand and eight, he got between 513 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 1: sixty five and sixty eight million votes. In two thousand 514 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: and eight and twenty twelve, his two elections, Hillary got 515 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 1: about the same number of votes, about sixty five million votes. 516 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 2: Kamala Harris, years later, with. 517 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 1: A demographic shift in the country, got close to seventy 518 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: five million votes. Now Joe Biden in the middle, Joe Biden, 519 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:06,919 Speaker 1: Joe what's my middle name? Biden gets eighty one million votes. 520 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 1: Eighty one million votes, which means that fifteen million more 521 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: votes than Obama mysteriously showed up for Biden and promptly 522 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: six million of them at a minimum vanished even after 523 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty election. So Biden, the guy who can't 524 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: raise one hundred dollars to build his library because everybody 525 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 1: basically considers him to be a vegetable and a pawn. 526 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: This Biden is evidently the most popular figure in US history, 527 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: surpassing Obama. 528 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 2: Have every other Democrat how many to. 529 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 4: Give our speakers a huge round of applause for a 530 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 4: spectacular start to the day. 531 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 2: It's amazing, Thank you guys so much. 532 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 4: Are Christians morally obligated to support the Jews in Israel? 533 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 2: I'm excited for this one. 534 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 4: Pleasejoin me and welcoming Danesh de Suza. 535 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 2: Andrew Wilson. 536 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: We're talking as Christians, so I'm assuming that the premise 537 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: of debate is that we are Christians, were Catholics, were Protestants, 538 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: were in the mainstream of the Christian tradition. My own 539 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: work in apologetics has taken the C. S. Lewis kind 540 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,479 Speaker 1: of mere Christianity approach. I'll be using generally that in 541 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: this debate. By way of background, I come from a 542 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 1: very old Catholic family in India. It goes back about 543 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: four hundred years. My grandfather's brother was the Cardinal of Pakistan. 544 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 1: So I'm deeply rooted in the Catholic tradition, the Catholic 545 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 1: intellectual tradition. I've studied it, I've written a lot about it, 546 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: and I've debated it against unrually leading atheists, people at 547 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: Christopher Hitchins and others. Now, Israel is not my topic, 548 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: and by that I mean, in a career spanning thirty 549 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 1: five years, I haven't written about it. I barely mentioned it. 550 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: I'm not known as a Zionist. I don't identify with Zionism, 551 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 1: which was a secular socialist movement of the nineteenth century. 552 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: I have no particular stake in Israel as a country. 553 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: I'm America first, all the way, and so keep those 554 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: things in mind as we have this debate. If you're 555 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 1: looking for me to sort of channel Ben Shapiro or 556 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: Mark Levin, that's really not going to be happening here. 557 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: I'm not a professional Israel advocate in any sense of 558 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: the term. I discovered Israel really two or three years 559 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 1: ago when I visited for the first time, and I 560 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: found it interesting in two ways. The first one simply 561 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: that we live at a time when cities have become 562 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: really homogenized these days. You know, there's no point going 563 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 1: to Zurich and Copenhagen, it's. 564 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 2: All kind of one thing. Israel is not like that. 565 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: In Israel, you're very conscious that you're in the land 566 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: of the Bible. That is a very important feeling for Christians. 567 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: You get the sense that this is your spiritual homeland. 568 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: And by spiritual homeland, what I mean is that our 569 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 1: faith is not some kind of abstraction that is delivered 570 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 1: in the sky. It could have been God could could 571 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 1: have put the Ten Commandments. 572 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 2: He could have, you know, put it on the moon. 573 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 2: But he didn't do that. 574 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 1: Our Bible, our history, our Christianity is historical. It's rooted 575 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: in real people and real events and real places. It 576 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: took place somewhere in the world, and that somewhere. 577 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 2: Happens to be Israel. 578 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: That's worth remembering and worth noting. Also discovered in the 579 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: course of now for visits to Israel the thing that 580 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 1: really interests me, and that is biblical archaeology. And biblical 581 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: archaeology has the definitive effect of authenticating and corroborating the 582 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: people and events in the Bible. We can go into 583 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: it a little bit later. I will give you the 584 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 1: most shocking examples of this, but it is a massive 585 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 1: refutation of the skepticism and atheism of the nineteenth century, 586 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 1: which basically said that the Bible was written hundreds of 587 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 1: years later and most of it was kind of made up. 588 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 1: Biblical archaeology shows us that the Bible is talking about 589 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: real people and true events. You can debate the miracles, 590 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: you can debate the theology, but that these things are real, 591 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: these people are real, the events are real has been 592 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: authenticated down to the most excruciating detail. That's very important 593 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 1: because it also happens to establish the presence of the 594 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: Jews and their ancestral homeland, and in a way, to me, 595 00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,120 Speaker 1: the fundamental question that we're discussing today. When I say 596 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: morally obligated, what I really mean is what's the right 597 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: thing to do? Now, saying what the right thing to 598 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 1: do doesn't solve the problem of should we give money 599 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 1: to Israel or how much money should we give to Israel? 600 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 2: No. 601 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 1: Supporting Israel herely here basically means having a certain recognition 602 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: of a kind of spiritual and historical kinship or line 603 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: of continuity established by the way in the Bible. And 604 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 1: don't think of the Old Testament as Jewish. The New 605 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: Testament is just as Jewish as the Old. Both are 606 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:37,719 Speaker 1: describing Jewish communities, and Christianity came right out of that. 607 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 1: In fact, the first Christians were Jews. 608 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 2: They were Jews who followed the Messiah. 609 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 1: I think historically we could say with great accuracy they 610 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: were the very first Judaeo Christians. The apostles were Judaeo Christians. 611 00:33:52,320 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 1: And now, to me, the core of this question is 612 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 1: whose land is it? Thirty seconds thirty seconds, I was 613 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 1: just getting I was just getting warmed. 614 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 2: This is my introduction guys. All right, let me just 615 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:12,439 Speaker 2: put it this way. 616 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 1: There are three ways to get a country. First, you 617 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: were there first, that's the ancestral claim. Number two, you 618 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,840 Speaker 1: got the country by some kind of negotiation or treaty. 619 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 1: Or number three, you got the lined because you captured it. 620 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 1: Every single country on the map in the world now 621 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 1: has gotten its claim based on one of these three ways. 622 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,359 Speaker 1: The argument I'm going to make is that Israel succeeds 623 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: on all three ways. 624 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 2: It checks all the boxes. Even America doesn't. 625 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 1: The American Indians were here first, we might have conquered them, 626 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,799 Speaker 1: taken the land from them, So we got it by conquest. 627 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 1: They got it by original inhabitancy. And there's a little 628 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: bit of an argument over here, but I'm going to 629 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,799 Speaker 1: argue that the Jews were there, it's their land. Number Two, 630 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 1: they got it by treaty, was given to them by 631 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: the United Nations. They accepted it, the Palestinians rejected it. 632 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 1: And three they got it by not just by conquest. 633 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 1: They fought three defensive wars against massive coalitions of Islamic 634 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 1: forces that are into essentially global colonization. The Muslims are 635 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 1: the real colonizers, and so whichever box you choose, Israel succeeds, 636 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 1: and therefore supporting Israel isn't just sort of the biblical 637 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,840 Speaker 1: thing to do, it's the right thing to do. 638 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,760 Speaker 6: Big round of applause for to Nash, real quick, great opening, 639 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:48,400 Speaker 6: but that's not going to save him. I want for 640 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 6: everybody to remember that the topic of this debate is 641 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 6: if Christians have a moral obligation to support Jews in Israel. 642 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 6: He didn't give us one. It is obvious to me that, 643 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 6: since the answer is clearly no uh oh, that Danesh 644 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 6: likely gave no reason, which means I predicted you wouldn't 645 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,319 Speaker 6: give us one. I will begin by expressing to you 646 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 6: the audience that when discussing normative claims are in this 647 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,839 Speaker 6: place moral claims, you need to demonstrate why the moral 648 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,919 Speaker 6: obligation is there. Danesh's view comes down to a whole 649 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 6: bunch of really stupid propositions that actually make no sense. 650 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,840 Speaker 6: Note I'm not calling Danesh stupid, He's far from it. 651 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,400 Speaker 6: But even intelligent people can believe stupid propositions and often 652 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,759 Speaker 6: do logical proposition one. 653 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 3: Christians need to support. 654 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 6: A Jewish state of Israel because their ethics and Christian 655 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:33,360 Speaker 6: ethics overlap. 656 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 3: This is something which Danesh has said multiple times. 657 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 6: The reason this is a stupid proposition is because the 658 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 6: modern state of Israel is a secular state. This date 659 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 6: supports abortion and most of the public supports it. They 660 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 6: have pregnancy termination boards which grant ninety nine percent of 661 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,880 Speaker 6: applications abortions up to twenty four weeks and beyond.

According 669 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 6: sorry about that one second here. According to their own polling, 670 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 6: the Israeli Institute for Gender and LGBTQ Studies has supported 671 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,239 Speaker 6: seventy five percent or more for homosexual acceptance, advocacy and 672 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,719 Speaker 6: gender care, which includes ninety percent from secular Jews and 673 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:37,759 Speaker 6: even over fifty percent from the religious Orthodox Jews.

These are libtards, essentially who 676 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 6: live in Israel that Denesh wants us to support a 677 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,400 Speaker 6: whole nation of them. Christian ethics here in the USA 678 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,120 Speaker 6: determines that we resist these things in our own nations. 679 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 6: Why would we support other nations which codify these things as. 680 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 3: Law anymore than we would sharia law. 681 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 6: I don't want millions upon millions or billions of my 682 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 6: dollars to be used to support a system which allows 683 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 6: for these forms of degeneracy when we were busy combating 684 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 6: them in our own backyard. 685 00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:14,279 Speaker 3: Why would Christians support that? 686 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:14,920 Speaker 1: Now? 687 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,440 Speaker 6: Dnesh can argue the USA is plagued with similar problems, 688 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 6: and that's true, and Christians here oppose our own governmental 689 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 6: national apparatus and strongly attempt to legislate against these forms 690 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:29,320 Speaker 6: of policy. We do the opposite of funding it, except 691 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,880 Speaker 6: through force of tax proposition to Densh believes that the 692 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,879 Speaker 6: Christians have a stake in Israel because it's the holiest 693 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 6: of holies and the holiest Christian sites are there. I 694 00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 6: grant this is true, but that doesn't give us much 695 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 6: reason to keep the population they're Jewish. If Christians in 696 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,480 Speaker 6: the West truly want access to the holy sites, then 697 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,440 Speaker 6: why not just demand Israel, who is our protectorate take 698 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,640 Speaker 6: a certain amount of Christians per year. I think one 699 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 6: hundred thousand or more should do the trick. The USA 700 00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 6: has no cut cap on Jews immigrating here. Why not 701 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 6: just demand they allow Christian immigration with no cap there, 702 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,880 Speaker 6: or we cut off all military funding and support and 703 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:08,400 Speaker 6: that's that. Then we get the Holy sites. He argues 704 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,879 Speaker 6: that Israeli's guard these things better than Muslims. I can 705 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,320 Speaker 6: see that's true, But I'm certain millions of Christian immigrants 706 00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 6: could protect them just fine. Not sure why there needs 707 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:19,719 Speaker 6: to be a Jewish state to do this, or why 708 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:21,919 Speaker 6: we have a moral obligation to keep it Jewish at all. 709 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,919 Speaker 6: Proposition three danesh Offen sites the biblical principle of those 710 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,439 Speaker 6: who bless Israel will be blessed. That's Genesis twelve three. 711 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,920 Speaker 6: Does a modern state of Israel seem very blessed to you? 712 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 6: If He took every Jew in Israel and put them 713 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,160 Speaker 6: in Germany in the year twenty twenty six, they would 714 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:44,840 Speaker 6: be safer than they are in Israel. How's that for irony? 715 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,960 Speaker 6: Is God blessing their abortions, their homosexuality and prostitution advocacy, 716 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,640 Speaker 6: the rejection of the Messiah doesn't seem like it to me. 717 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 6: If that's what a god blessed nation looks like, then 718 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,360 Speaker 6: I would be very wary of the blessings of that God, 719 00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,600 Speaker 6: because he sure seems like he isn't very fond of 720 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:00,440 Speaker 6: them at moment. 721 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:02,000 Speaker 3: Proposition four. 722 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,919 Speaker 6: Do Christians have an obligation to support religious Jews naming 723 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 6: a Messiah considering that that Messiah figure will certainly be 724 00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:13,400 Speaker 6: false and anti christ This is obviously no. Don't know 725 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 6: about Dunesha over here, but the proposition of naming false 726 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,600 Speaker 6: Messiah and Christians supporting that by funding the religious, more 727 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,880 Speaker 6: conservative section of Jewish population claiming its moral seems insane 728 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:22,239 Speaker 6: to me. 729 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:24,680 Speaker 3: Proposition five. 730 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 6: Are secular Jews blessed or non religious Jews blessed by 731 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:33,040 Speaker 6: the same genesis packaged dness or passage? In other words, 732 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,920 Speaker 6: if I bless atheist Jews and all their liberal policies, 733 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 6: while I in turn be blessed with magic Jew blood, 734 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 6: do I need to fight and die on their behalf 735 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,400 Speaker 6: of this blessing? Is it just a mind state like 736 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,480 Speaker 6: I just kind of cheer them on? Does it require 737 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,440 Speaker 6: action on my part? What are my actual obligations here 738 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,839 Speaker 6: as a Christian? What's the normative framework to receive said 739 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:57,120 Speaker 6: blessing from my support of atheist Jews, I say the opposite. 740 00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,480 Speaker 6: As a Christian's my duty to resist and oppose the 741 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,919 Speaker 6: radical as atheist and secutor Jewish agenda of Israel until 742 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:06,000 Speaker 6: he conformed to my ethical model.

So we are now 831 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,480 Speaker 1: talking about the fact, and let's let's just game it out. 832 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:10,960 Speaker 1: You want to game it out, let's game it out. 833 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:11,360 Speaker 3: Okay. 834 00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:16,680 Speaker 1: Every politician in Texas, by and large, if you if 835 00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,200 Speaker 1: you want to get their attention, just write them a 836 00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,400 Speaker 1: check for ten thousand dollars and they will call you 837 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,359 Speaker 1: within a week, within a week to hear you out. 838 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:25,319 Speaker 2: And what's on your mind? 839 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:30,240 Speaker 1: Now, imagine an Islamic regime, two billion people in the world, 840 00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:36,000 Speaker 1: with almost infinite resources, offering every US congressman one hundred 841 00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:37,200 Speaker 1: million dollars in. 842 00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,760 Speaker 2: Their pack if they vote on the side of Islam. 843 00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,839 Speaker 1: What percentage of Democrats do you think would say no, 844 00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:45,719 Speaker 1: I would submit, it's about one or two percent. What 845 00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:49,320 Speaker 1: percentage of Republicans would say no, I submit, it's about 846 00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:49,880 Speaker 1: ten percent. 847 00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:51,480 Speaker 2: Isson in law included. 848 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:55,560 Speaker 1: Okay, but what we're basically talking about is a buyout 849 00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,359 Speaker 1: of the United States of America inc. 850 00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:00,360 Speaker 2: This is on the table. 851 00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:04,040 Speaker 1: The Muslims say they're gonna do it, they are doing it. 852 00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:09,080 Speaker 2: Would stands you started out. 853 00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,560 Speaker 7: All that stands in the way of of all of 854 00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:17,560 Speaker 7: the Muslim world uniting, even though there's nukes there now, 855 00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:20,880 Speaker 7: even though they have a shared value to destroy Israel. 856 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,319 Speaker 6: Now is ten million Jews that are sitting. That's the 857 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,000 Speaker 6: stupidest thing that I ever heard. 858 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:26,160 Speaker 2: Here's actually well. 859 00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:31,200 Speaker 3: At all, game it. 860 00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:34,200 Speaker 6: Out a different way. They destroy Israel in a single day. 861 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,440 Speaker 6: Isn't it equally possible that they open up relations with 862 00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,359 Speaker 6: the United States and the rest of the West because 863 00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:42,279 Speaker 6: they want to enter into massive trade agreements, because it 864 00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:44,520 Speaker 6: is the case that they want their own people groups 865 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:46,719 Speaker 6: to thrive, because it is the case that they are 866 00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:50,239 Speaker 6: geographically landlocked away from Europe for the most part, and 867 00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:51,640 Speaker 6: definitely the United States. 868 00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,239 Speaker 3: Oh, isn't it the case that we could then get 869 00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:54,120 Speaker 3: oil for cheaper. 870 00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:56,400 Speaker 6: Isn't it then the case that there's all sorts of 871 00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,080 Speaker 6: trade agreements we could have that we no longer have 872 00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,440 Speaker 6: to sanction them on because we don't have to have 873 00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:05,400 Speaker 6: this protectorate there. That's equally logically possible. The problem that 874 00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,960 Speaker 6: you have here, I'm not saying that this should happen. 875 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:12,160 Speaker 6: I'm pointing out in analogy that you are making the 876 00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:16,600 Speaker 6: determinative kind of quality here that ten million Jews are 877 00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,280 Speaker 6: stopping this nightmare scenario, and it's absurd. 878 00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:21,919 Speaker 3: That's not what's actually going on. What's actually going on. 879 00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:26,440 Speaker 6: Is the United States military is what's stopping that nightmare scenario, 880 00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 6: not ten million Jews in the United States. And if 881 00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:32,440 Speaker 6: we had mass migration of Christians to that region for 882 00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:34,759 Speaker 6: their own holy land, for them to have their own 883 00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,560 Speaker 6: holy relics, for them to have the Holy Land back 884 00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,880 Speaker 6: to them, that region would be infinitely safer than it 885 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:42,239 Speaker 6: is right this second. 886 00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:47,560 Speaker 1: So I think here we've reached the point where the 887 00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:52,440 Speaker 1: core naivete of your position, which is that the Muslims 888 00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:56,040 Speaker 1: are just like the rest of us, comes to the forefront. 889 00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:01,160 Speaker 1: When the Barbary pirates were menacing American ships and Jeffersons 890 00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:06,040 Speaker 1: and ambassadors, Jefferson's question to the ambassadors was, go talk 891 00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:09,560 Speaker 1: to the ambassador in Tripoli and ask them what is 892 00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,040 Speaker 1: their beef with America. They've been fighting with Europe for 893 00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,799 Speaker 1: a long time. We haven't done anything to them. Why 894 00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:19,080 Speaker 1: are they doing this to us? And the ambassador abdal 895 00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:22,440 Speaker 1: Rahman replied, he goes, it has nothing to do with you. 896 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,880 Speaker 1: We are doing this because it asks us to do it. 897 00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:29,359 Speaker 1: In the Quran, you are an infidel and our job 898 00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:32,680 Speaker 1: is to fight, defeat and destroy the infidels. This is 899 00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:37,600 Speaker 1: in the Quran. It is the actual constitution of the 900 00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:41,000 Speaker 1: world of Islam. So when you say these are guys 901 00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,320 Speaker 1: who want coffee shops and tall buildings and Trump Tower 902 00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:48,720 Speaker 1: and high tech. Yes, but I would say, and here's 903 00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:51,680 Speaker 1: where you would say that the Muslims who want those 904 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:55,840 Speaker 1: things are actually the Muslims least attentive to the Quran. 905 00:48:56,360 --> 00:49:00,560 Speaker 1: These are the Muslims who are actually less Islamic, mulim, 906 00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:04,120 Speaker 1: less in bread. The true Muslims see all of America 907 00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,880 Speaker 1: as the house of war. So the idea that you suggest, 908 00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:10,960 Speaker 1: which is the ge they're going to be we're landlocked, 909 00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,880 Speaker 1: we need to make some trade deals is a complete 910 00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:16,320 Speaker 1: misunderstanding of the nature of Islam. 911 00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:20,040 Speaker 2: And this is part of the reason I just want 912 00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:21,040 Speaker 2: necessary acts. 913 00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:22,799 Speaker 6: I want to make sure the naivete is on my 914 00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,760 Speaker 6: part that you believe the only thing stopping this future 915 00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:27,560 Speaker 6: is ten million Jews who are in that region. 916 00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:29,399 Speaker 3: No, I just want to make sure that that is. 917 00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:31,320 Speaker 2: The natural position. I'm not saying. 918 00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:34,840 Speaker 1: Look, you asked, you gave me a hypothetical, and you said, 919 00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:39,719 Speaker 1: if Israel is obliterated. The scenario I'm describing doesn't require 920 00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:43,759 Speaker 1: the obliteration of Israel. It simply requires the complete mobilization 921 00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:46,759 Speaker 1: of those countries. I think what Trump is doing is 922 00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,879 Speaker 1: he's playing a game in which he's trying to set 923 00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:51,920 Speaker 1: one Muslim off against another. 924 00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:53,560 Speaker 2: He's like, listen, let me see. 925 00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:54,440 Speaker 3: This, that's actually perfect. 926 00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,680 Speaker 6: So that if it is the case, Denesh, that this 927 00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:00,920 Speaker 6: does not require the obliteration of Israel for Muslims to 928 00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:04,360 Speaker 6: do this right this second. If they do begin acting 929 00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,520 Speaker 6: this way, and I agree with you that they likely will, 930 00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:10,080 Speaker 6: then I could see how Christians would have an obligation 931 00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:13,520 Speaker 6: to intervene, especially in our own interests, because now they're 932 00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:14,600 Speaker 6: coming here to kill us. 933 00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:17,239 Speaker 3: Great, we would need to do something about that. 934 00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:20,640 Speaker 6: But you see how you carefully took Israel out of 935 00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,760 Speaker 6: that equation and ten million juser out of that equation. 936 00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:28,120 Speaker 6: What's the obligation morally that we have to go help 937 00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:31,240 Speaker 6: them right this second when you just made the claim 938 00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:34,839 Speaker 6: that without them there or with them there, this can 939 00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,759 Speaker 6: still happen even without their obliteration. 940 00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:42,480 Speaker 1: Well, let's extend out the same analogy to see why 941 00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:44,080 Speaker 1: what I'm saying makes total sense. 942 00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:46,080 Speaker 2: Okay, let's envision a. 943 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:51,520 Speaker 1: Scenario where it's not Israel that is overrun, but Australia, Canada, 944 00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:56,879 Speaker 1: Great Britain, France and Germany are overrun by the Muslims. 945 00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:57,520 Speaker 3: With their immigration policy. 946 00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:59,840 Speaker 1: That's right, with their immigration policy, but not just immigration 947 00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:04,480 Speaker 1: po massively supported by terrorist infiltration money coming out of 948 00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:06,640 Speaker 1: Qatar and other is out of. 949 00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:09,200 Speaker 6: The terrorist infiltrate without the mass migration, Dinash. 950 00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,160 Speaker 2: No, many of them already in the country. 951 00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,000 Speaker 3: Because of mass migration, because. 952 00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:14,920 Speaker 2: Of original mass migration. 953 00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:18,720 Speaker 3: Yes, what we've done, Okay, that's a suicidal empathy. 954 00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,640 Speaker 6: But that has nothing at all to do if if 955 00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:24,440 Speaker 6: we have good border policy, and we have good immigration 956 00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:28,200 Speaker 6: policy locking Islam out of the United States and Western world, 957 00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,560 Speaker 6: which I would love to see, right, this problem goes away, 958 00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:34,920 Speaker 6: regardless of regardless of US helping Israel or not. 959 00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:39,440 Speaker 1: Number one, many of them already here. Number two. The 960 00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:42,480 Speaker 1: hold on the Muslim Brotherhood has made it really clear 961 00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:47,640 Speaker 1: in its memoranda that we don't actually want to focus 962 00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:50,520 Speaker 1: on bin Loaden types with long. 963 00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:52,120 Speaker 2: Beards and white robes. 964 00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:54,440 Speaker 3: On the womb. 965 00:51:54,560 --> 00:52:00,279 Speaker 1: We want American born kids, wo, dude, and American warn 966 00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:06,040 Speaker 1: converts to take the vanguard. We mean Islamic lawyers born 967 00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:10,880 Speaker 1: in America. So unless you have some plan for getting 968 00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:13,880 Speaker 1: out thirty million Muslims who are legal and US citizens, 969 00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:33,759 Speaker 1: by the way, you're talking nonsense, guys. I want to 970 00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,480 Speaker 1: announce I have a new book coming out in the fall. 971 00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:40,160 Speaker 1: I'm very excited about.

What is bitcoin? And crypto? Are these assets? 1008 00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:07,839 Speaker 1: Are these currencies? How would you describe the category that 1009 00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:08,959 Speaker 1: we are dealing with here? 1010 00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:14,040 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's a great, great question, you know when you 1011 00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:16,759 Speaker 8: took me down memory lane there telling the audience, you 1012 00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,759 Speaker 8: know with London Metal exchangeable can standing bill into kind 1013 00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:22,799 Speaker 8: of brings back great memories to me and being in 1014 00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,160 Speaker 8: the financial realm. How I kind of answer this question 1015 00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:28,560 Speaker 8: is watching the evolution of everything. I used to work 1016 00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:32,360 Speaker 8: on a trading stock market floor wearing a jacket, people screaming, 1017 00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:35,279 Speaker 8: tickets flying everywhere, and then really the birth of the 1018 00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:40,040 Speaker 8: Internet and communications being sped up and maybe not running 1019 00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:44,000 Speaker 8: across the trading pit floor and communicating online with treaders, 1020 00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:46,840 Speaker 8: and as things became quicker and quicker. This was the 1021 00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:51,160 Speaker 8: advancement of technology, and technology was able to make better 1022 00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:54,919 Speaker 8: decisions quicker, which ultimately led to these companies I worked 1023 00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,480 Speaker 8: for to make more money for the bottom line. You know, 1024 00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:01,239 Speaker 8: when I was first introduced to crypto currency, which is 1025 00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:05,320 Speaker 8: really a peer to peer system to change information much faster. 1026 00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:07,920 Speaker 8: As intriguing as it was, I think there was kind 1027 00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,920 Speaker 8: of a pushback on technology back then. And when people 1028 00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:14,480 Speaker 8: were telling me that cryptocurrency assets like bitcoin are going 1029 00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:18,000 Speaker 8: to become the future of money and the future of 1030 00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:21,200 Speaker 8: holding an asset class, which I guess you could call 1031 00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:24,440 Speaker 8: it an asset and look at it as real money, 1032 00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:26,920 Speaker 8: I always wanted guilty hands up. I was one of 1033 00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:30,480 Speaker 8: those people, Nah, you absolutely crazy digital money that you 1034 00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:33,000 Speaker 8: can't see, you can't touch, and this is going to 1035 00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:36,360 Speaker 8: be the future and replace different asset classes. So I 1036 00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:39,480 Speaker 8: Dinesh was one of those naysayers. I was one of 1037 00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:41,759 Speaker 8: those naysayers that this is a fad, this isn't going 1038 00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:45,600 Speaker 8: to last. And lo and behold, you know, Hindsight's twenty twenty. 1039 00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:48,880 Speaker 8: I began to listen to a lot of my peers, 1040 00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:51,800 Speaker 8: you know a lot of very wealthy billionaires and people 1041 00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:54,680 Speaker 8: that were running billion dollar books and were telling me 1042 00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:58,799 Speaker 8: and educating me on why assets like bitcoin is the 1043 00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:01,839 Speaker 8: future of money, and it is an asset class, and 1044 00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:04,279 Speaker 8: it is a store value, and it is real money, 1045 00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:07,360 Speaker 8: especially with the limited supply, the twenty one million tokens 1046 00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:11,200 Speaker 8: that can ever be minted. So in twenty and fourteen, 1047 00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:15,880 Speaker 8: I was reintroduced twenty fifteen, reintroduced to bitcoin again. I 1048 00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:18,200 Speaker 8: think it was a round about maybe five thousand dollars 1049 00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:21,600 Speaker 8: a token back then. I bought some, I sold some. Again. 1050 00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:25,520 Speaker 8: I was looking at it and thinking, is it going 1051 00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:27,960 Speaker 8: to have this staying power that everyone keeps telling me 1052 00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:29,960 Speaker 8: it's going to have. I was still not one hundred 1053 00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:33,880 Speaker 8: percent sold. But then when I started watching the institutions 1054 00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:37,080 Speaker 8: begin to buy, because remember there's a big difference between 1055 00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:39,880 Speaker 8: people like you and I on the retail level waking 1056 00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:42,520 Speaker 8: up in the morning drinking their coffee, you know, reading 1057 00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:46,520 Speaker 8: their paper, versus big institutions with billions of dollars in 1058 00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:50,400 Speaker 8: slush fund money, siphoning that money off and start secretly 1059 00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:53,440 Speaker 8: buying it. When I started seeing that, that's when I 1060 00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:57,320 Speaker 8: started really paying attention because I followed the institutional money. 1061 00:57:57,560 --> 00:58:00,680 Speaker 8: And then when I saw that the big, biggestitutions were 1062 00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:04,120 Speaker 8: buying back in and then President Trump was making his 1063 00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:07,360 Speaker 8: pitch per se on his campaign trial to realize that, Hey, 1064 00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:10,240 Speaker 8: I also believe in crypto. I believe in bitcoin. It's 1065 00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:12,320 Speaker 8: going to be the future of money, and we want 1066 00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:16,480 Speaker 8: to make America the US crypto capital of the world. 1067 00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:20,080 Speaker 8: So I think the Trump family believe it as an 1068 00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:23,800 Speaker 8: asset class as money. And with anything that's new, there's 1069 00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:26,280 Speaker 8: always going to be a little bit of skepticism. But 1070 00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:29,320 Speaker 8: that's where I say, you know, people like you, you're 1071 00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:33,440 Speaker 8: champion for information, for knowledge and laying it out in 1072 00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:36,480 Speaker 8: very simple terms, and I'm a big proponent for that 1073 00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:38,920 Speaker 8: for people to kind of pick up these books, speak 1074 00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:42,760 Speaker 8: to people and get an education on why every day 1075 00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:45,480 Speaker 8: when you're up hopefully drinking your coffee, reading the news, 1076 00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:51,000 Speaker 8: you're hearing bitcoin, bitcoin institutions buying clarity acts being passed. 1077 00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:55,000 Speaker 8: You know, President Trump mining bitcoin, you know bitcoin being 1078 00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:57,560 Speaker 8: added to the US Treasury. You know, why do we 1079 00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:00,920 Speaker 8: keep hearing about this word bitcoin every single And it's 1080 00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:04,600 Speaker 8: simply because it's a new asset class that's emerged that 1081 00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:08,320 Speaker 8: will eventually maybe not replace money, but it will be 1082 00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:12,320 Speaker 8: a store of value where funds get siphoned to. Because 1083 00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:14,800 Speaker 8: as we look at the US dollar thirty nine trillion 1084 00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:18,520 Speaker 8: dollars in debt and drowning, the monetary supply is under 1085 00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:22,520 Speaker 8: extreme pressure. Once those cracks deepen and widen, we're going 1086 00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:26,680 Speaker 8: to see more and more money shift into the cryptocurrency landscape, 1087 00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:30,800 Speaker 8: particularly assets like bitcoin, which is considered an asset class 1088 00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:33,560 Speaker 8: in real money. And this is the time we're in 1089 00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:36,240 Speaker 8: this golden age, so to speak of why people need 1090 00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:39,680 Speaker 8: to get a strong understanding and education and find out 1091 00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:42,960 Speaker 8: why they want to add bitcoin to their portfolio right now. 1092 00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:45,800 Speaker 8: So kind of a long winded answer, but it's been 1093 00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:48,520 Speaker 8: an interesting journey for me for the past, you know, 1094 00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:52,440 Speaker 8: twenty years after leaving Wall Street and seeing how bitcoin 1095 00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:56,000 Speaker 8: adoption has come about, and seeing what the future of 1096 00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:58,760 Speaker 8: money looks like. And I think people need to not 1097 00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:00,840 Speaker 8: be like an ostrich and very the head and the said, 1098 01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:06,080 Speaker 8: but really pay attention and start understanding this monetary reset 1099 01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:08,880 Speaker 8: that's going to be upon us shortly, and why it's 1100 01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:13,560 Speaker 8: important to shift some assets into an asset like bitcoin. 1101 01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:17,680 Speaker 1: You know, I know that in previous years some of 1102 01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:22,280 Speaker 1: these big investment houses have been skeptical of bitcoin and crypto, 1103 01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:25,000 Speaker 1: and quite honestly, I think the main reason for it 1104 01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:27,880 Speaker 1: is that they, you know, in a way, they saw 1105 01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:30,560 Speaker 1: that they couldn't make as much money off of this 1106 01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:33,840 Speaker 1: asset class as they could. If you're buying and selling shares, 1107 01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:36,360 Speaker 1: you obviously need their brokers to carry it out. 1108 01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:38,720 Speaker 2: And so but recently I saw. 1109 01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:44,440 Speaker 1: Fidelity has made a big investment in crypto and in bitcoin, 1110 01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:48,160 Speaker 1: and I think you mentioned that there's a tightening up 1111 01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:53,240 Speaker 1: of the regulatory infrastructure. So while the bitcoin world may 1112 01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:57,120 Speaker 1: have looked like the wild West, you know, twenty ten 1113 01:00:57,200 --> 01:01:02,040 Speaker 1: to twenty fifteen, it's now become mainstream. And of course, 1114 01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:05,120 Speaker 1: as we go into an increasingly digital world, isn't it 1115 01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:08,280 Speaker 1: obvious that digital currencies are going to be the way 1116 01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:15,080 Speaker 1: in which transactions take place? Are you talk a little 1117 01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:19,280 Speaker 1: bit about block trust, Ira, because it seems to me that, 1118 01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:22,480 Speaker 1: like your company is kind of a marriage of recognizing 1119 01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:26,840 Speaker 1: the power of bitcoin and crypto but marrying it to 1120 01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:31,320 Speaker 1: the technology of artificial intelligence and explain why that can 1121 01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:35,160 Speaker 1: be really helpful to someone who's looking for sort of 1122 01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:38,880 Speaker 1: looking for some smart people to manage their money even 1123 01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:39,720 Speaker 1: while they sleep. 1124 01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:43,440 Speaker 8: Yeah, good question, and I kind of reference what you 1125 01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:47,440 Speaker 8: said that you know where we're now seeing Fidelity purchase bitcoin, 1126 01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:51,840 Speaker 8: we are seeing Morgan Stanley, We're seeing black Rock develop 1127 01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:55,240 Speaker 8: even these ets strategies for bitcoin. And in fact, if 1128 01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:58,800 Speaker 8: you look at these big institutions now, the most profitable 1129 01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:02,640 Speaker 8: asset class, these big institutions like Blackbrook, the most profitable 1130 01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:06,480 Speaker 8: etf is bitcoin. So, like you said, if you can't 1131 01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:09,160 Speaker 8: beat them, then join them, because they now trying to 1132 01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:13,560 Speaker 8: find out ways on how to monetize the cryptocurrency landscape 1133 01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:16,000 Speaker 8: because they've been missing out for many years. But this 1134 01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:19,560 Speaker 8: is where the problem really arises. Because let's say you 1135 01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:22,120 Speaker 8: speak to Fidelity or you're speaking to your neighbor and 1136 01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:24,840 Speaker 8: you're like, Hey, you know, I'm hearing bitcoins a good investments. 1137 01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:27,280 Speaker 8: I want to buy some Where do I go? And 1138 01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:30,360 Speaker 8: you could be buyed online at Fidelity, you could go 1139 01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:33,560 Speaker 8: to Coinbase, you could go to Kraken and then this 1140 01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:37,240 Speaker 8: is where the problem starts, because they're giving you essentially 1141 01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:41,320 Speaker 8: a platform, and the platform fancy word for platform is 1142 01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:45,040 Speaker 8: like you buy yourself DIY, go and figure it out, 1143 01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:46,840 Speaker 8: and you can try and buy some crypto over here. 1144 01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:48,520 Speaker 8: And this is where people are left kind of scratching 1145 01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:50,720 Speaker 8: their head because they're like, well, this is complicated. I 1146 01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:54,800 Speaker 8: don't even understand how to do this. So at block Trust, 1147 01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:57,960 Speaker 8: what we do is we specialize in helping people first 1148 01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:02,040 Speaker 8: and foremost on board safely, securely, even with an IRA 1149 01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:04,640 Speaker 8: or four one K, because the government lets you do that. 1150 01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:08,560 Speaker 8: You can roll over a retirement account tax and penalty free, 1151 01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,920 Speaker 8: and you could buy digital currencies with it, such as bitcoin, 1152 01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:16,200 Speaker 8: the theory of even XRP. We have over sixty different cryptocurrencies. 1153 01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:19,840 Speaker 8: But now this is really the main distinguishing factor between 1154 01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:24,480 Speaker 8: block Trust and everybody else out there. So everybody else 1155 01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:27,919 Speaker 8: out there kind of gives you a cockpit. We give 1156 01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:31,120 Speaker 8: you a pilot, so we are here to talk to 1157 01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:33,840 Speaker 8: you on board. You that you know you're calling a 1158 01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:36,960 Speaker 8: phone number, you're not ending up overseas somewhere. You're actually 1159 01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:40,400 Speaker 8: speaking to someone that has knowledge about the cryptocurrency market 1160 01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:42,360 Speaker 8: that can walk you through a to z on how 1161 01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:45,280 Speaker 8: to purchase this. So so number one, you're not alone. 1162 01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:49,040 Speaker 8: Number two, you know, we take security very seriously, so 1163 01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:53,120 Speaker 8: military greed, encryption, two hundred million dollars worth of insurance 1164 01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:55,560 Speaker 8: when people are buying, So we want to make sure 1165 01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:59,280 Speaker 8: people feel safe and secure. And when you buy a cryptocurrency. 1166 01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:04,040 Speaker 8: The big maybe conundrum that people kind of talk about 1167 01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:07,920 Speaker 8: is the volatility with crypto. Right, we know it's inherently volatile. 1168 01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:11,280 Speaker 8: So all you can do up until we came around 1169 01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:14,960 Speaker 8: was what we call the buy and hold strategy. So 1170 01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:17,800 Speaker 8: buy and hold strategy may work wonders for I don't know, 1171 01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:20,760 Speaker 8: precious metals, which I also own. You know, you buy 1172 01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:23,120 Speaker 8: a piece of silver, you throw it in the safe 1173 01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:25,720 Speaker 8: and you forget about it, buy and hold. But why 1174 01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:29,000 Speaker 8: doesn't that work for cryptocurrency. Well, because it's a market 1175 01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:31,640 Speaker 8: that doesn't sleep. It's a market that doesn't have an 1176 01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:34,680 Speaker 8: opening bell, it doesn't have a closing bell, so it's 1177 01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:38,400 Speaker 8: always on twenty four to seven. So the question then arises, 1178 01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:42,760 Speaker 8: who's watching your portfolio at three am? If there's attack 1179 01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:46,040 Speaker 8: in the Middle East, if there's fiscal policy change in Japan, 1180 01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:51,280 Speaker 8: if there's a currency debasement. So we use very sophisticated AI, 1181 01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:54,200 Speaker 8: which we've had for the past seven years that was 1182 01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:58,560 Speaker 8: voted number one trading strategy by Bitcoin Magazine. And what 1183 01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:01,480 Speaker 8: this AI is doing and it's the good kind at Dineshkase. 1184 01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:04,800 Speaker 8: Sometimes ALI can also have a negative perspective on it, 1185 01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:09,520 Speaker 8: but our AI is crunching data and they say data 1186 01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:11,960 Speaker 8: is the new oil. And when you're looking at a 1187 01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:15,440 Speaker 8: market that doesn't sleep, we have to quantify millions and 1188 01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:19,120 Speaker 8: millions of data points. So we're looking at on chain metrics, 1189 01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:23,720 Speaker 8: who's buying, who's selling, We're looking at investor sentiment, who's talking, 1190 01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:27,560 Speaker 8: who's tweeting about bitcoin? And multiple different languages around the globe. 1191 01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:31,280 Speaker 8: We're looking at priced technical analysis, trading charts, we're looking 1192 01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:35,040 Speaker 8: at macroeconomic data, which is probably the key indicator right now, 1193 01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:38,160 Speaker 8: especially with what's going on within Iran and the oil supply. 1194 01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:41,080 Speaker 8: And we're quantifying these data points and the data is 1195 01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:44,280 Speaker 8: telling us, hey, get out of the market. Volatility is 1196 01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:46,480 Speaker 8: going to hit us. So we move our clients out 1197 01:05:46,520 --> 01:05:49,240 Speaker 8: of the market and they sit in cash. They can 1198 01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:52,680 Speaker 8: access their money anytime, there's no lock up period, and 1199 01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:55,280 Speaker 8: then when the time's right to buy again, we'll get 1200 01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:57,720 Speaker 8: these green signals and then we'll be able to buy 1201 01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:00,919 Speaker 8: back in for our clients. So what doing is we're 1202 01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:04,080 Speaker 8: mitigating that draw down that we see with crypto, the 1203 01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:06,640 Speaker 8: draw down. We've seen it go stray high, but people 1204 01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:09,120 Speaker 8: weren't able to lock in their profits at the right time. 1205 01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:12,560 Speaker 8: So what if there was a way where this volatility 1206 01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:14,400 Speaker 8: is like being at a beach with your family and 1207 01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:16,640 Speaker 8: a lifeguard and he's blowing the whistle. Don't go in 1208 01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:19,760 Speaker 8: the ocean. There's a riptide. Everyone needs to stay out. 1209 01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:23,560 Speaker 8: So we're able to do that. We do this very successfully. 1210 01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:27,120 Speaker 8: Twenty twenty five was a very bad year for bitcoin. 1211 01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:29,400 Speaker 8: If you would have held it from January to December, 1212 01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:32,680 Speaker 8: you would have been down negative six and a half percent. 1213 01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:36,400 Speaker 8: But with our technology, we were up twenty seven percent. 1214 01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:39,440 Speaker 8: So that's something I like to brag about. And how 1215 01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:42,440 Speaker 8: we're able to do that is recognizing times in the 1216 01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:45,600 Speaker 8: market where you need to be buying and selling out 1217 01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:48,680 Speaker 8: buying and selling, and maybe we'll do that three or 1218 01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:52,400 Speaker 8: four times a month, depending on the volatility. So we 1219 01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:56,200 Speaker 8: look at now volatility as our friend. It's not a 1220 01:06:56,240 --> 01:06:59,280 Speaker 8: magic crystal ball in Nasha. We're not right one hundred 1221 01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:02,160 Speaker 8: percent of the time, but we are right more than 1222 01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:05,200 Speaker 8: we are wrong, and then this is how we beat 1223 01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:08,760 Speaker 8: the buy and hold strategy. So a buy and hold 1224 01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:12,560 Speaker 8: strategy may work wonders for many different asset classes out there, 1225 01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:15,919 Speaker 8: such as precious metals, but a buy and hold for 1226 01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:19,000 Speaker 8: an asset class that doesn't sleep because there's no opening 1227 01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:21,960 Speaker 8: bell or closing bell, you want to have a watchdog. 1228 01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:24,520 Speaker 8: You want to have someone watching this twenty four to 1229 01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:27,360 Speaker 8: seven even while you sleep, so you can make the 1230 01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:31,560 Speaker 8: right decisions at the right time from saving you tens 1231 01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:35,080 Speaker 8: of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars worth of 1232 01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:38,880 Speaker 8: potential gains or losses just by using this very sophisticated 1233 01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:41,520 Speaker 8: AI which I will add one last thing that was 1234 01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:47,440 Speaker 8: only reserved and available for hedge funds, elite institutional investors 1235 01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:50,120 Speaker 8: that were using our technology, and I was able to 1236 01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:53,920 Speaker 8: bring this technology down to the retail level, so people 1237 01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:56,560 Speaker 8: like you and I, just retail investors as well who 1238 01:07:56,600 --> 01:07:59,160 Speaker 8: have iras and four to one ks can take advantage 1239 01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:02,480 Speaker 8: of this. Because people want to invest and they want 1240 01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:06,040 Speaker 8: to invest in crypto, but to not use our type 1241 01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:10,520 Speaker 8: of technology is actually irresponsible. It will be irresponsible not 1242 01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:13,560 Speaker 8: to use this type of technology right now. And people 1243 01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:16,320 Speaker 8: who are looking at crypto they may be on the 1244 01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:19,559 Speaker 8: right track, but they're on the wrong train because now 1245 01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:23,559 Speaker 8: we have these sophisticated tools that are going to mitigate 1246 01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:27,599 Speaker 8: risk and maximize returns. And this is exactly why block 1247 01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:32,040 Speaker 8: trust is probably the fastest growing crypto platform in America today. 1248 01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:35,400 Speaker 1: The company is block trust IRA.
