1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: Michael at Ol. I'm really struggling trying to understand how

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 1: a person could delineate the best of Michael Brown from

3
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: the marginal Michael Brown to the worst of Michael Brown,

4
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: and quiring minds want to know.

5
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 2: Well, I guess I have to explain everything. It's really

6
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: quite simple. Even someone like me, the worst of the worst.

7
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 2: There's always a better worse than the worst worst. So

8
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 2: what Dragon does is he just takes all of the

9
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 2: slam and the boogers and the you know, the out there,

10
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: and he just finds that which is the least worse,

11
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 2: which turns out to be the best of the worst.

12
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 3: Got that that's what you do, right?

13
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 4: Yeah?

14
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 3: That sounds about right. Yeah, everything is terrible, right, so

15
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 3: you just find the least terrible stuff and putting over there, exactly.

16
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so that that's the best. That's the best

17
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: of the worst. My cash, you, is this one of

18
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: those days we have to explain everything? Holy cow, do

19
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: you think we get paid to do something of quality?

20
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 4: We should since we moved over here to Koa from

21
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 4: k How but now we're back on k how. Also,

22
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 4: so we have we have conflicting standards, Yeah, exactly, conflicting

23
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 4: standards even in a free I think this is a

24
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 4: good transition from January sixth, What goober number, what number

25
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 4: are you?

26
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: Seventy seven thirteen? Wow, you're you're in a role today.

27
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 2: Keep at it. You're digging your hole pretty well. This

28
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: is a good transition from the narrative of January sixth

29
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: to my proposition that even in even in a free

30
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 2: society like ours, as free as it may still or

31
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: still not be, the most intelligent and independent people cannot

32
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: entirely escape the influence of state propaganda. In nineteen forty two,

33
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: Oh my god, they're thinking to themselves, he's going back

34
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 2: to nineteen forty two. After fighting in the Spanish Civil

35
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: War from nineteen thirty six to nineteen thirty seven, a

36
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: disillusion writer went back to London. He is going to

37
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: write about his experience. And it wasn't just that the

38
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 2: fascist in Spain had won and his side, which was

39
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: a small anti Stalinist Marxist group, had lost.

40
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 3: I want to emphasize that again.

41
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: The guy I'm talking about was anti Staliness, but they

42
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 2: were a Marxist group, a socialist group.

43
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 3: What frightened this individual was the ease.

44
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 2: In which the truth itself had been erased and then

45
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 2: gets replaced by propaganda. He wrote, I saw great battles

46
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 2: reported where there had been no fighting, in complete silence,

47
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 2: where hundreds of men had been killed. I saw troops

48
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: had fought bravely denounced as cowards, and traders and others

49
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: who had never even seen a shot fired hailed as

50
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,679
Speaker 2: the heroes of imaginary victories. And I saw in the

51
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 2: newspapers in London retelling these lies, and eager intellectuals building

52
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: emotional superstructures over events that had never happened. We see

53
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 2: that all the time here, all the time. And maybe

54
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: this make number seventy seven thirteen happy. On both sides

55
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: of the political spectrum. In fact, I would say on

56
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: every little degree of the political spectrum. We see that.

57
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: That writer George Orwell in his book Looking Back on

58
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: the Spanish Civil War, so you see there's a disconnect

59
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: between reality and narrative.

60
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: And it clearly made an impression on or.

61
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: Well because he was really worried that quote, the very

62
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 2: concept of objective truth is fading out of the world.

63
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 2: He was writing that in nineteen forty two. Really my point,

64
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: or the point of Ecclesiastes, that there's really nothing new

65
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: under the sun. We go through these cycles, and we're

66
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 2: going through a cycle now. We live in a post

67
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: truth society. I am, and I haven't yet, but there

68
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: have been days where I have truly thought about completely

69
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 2: obliterating with maybe the exception of my Instagram account, because

70
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: I like seeing the photos of friends and my granddaughters

71
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 2: and grand grandson and family members and friends. I like

72
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 2: seeing those photographs. But even on Instagram, I'm really thick

73
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: and tired of the I don't even to call them commercials,

74
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: but they're sponsored posts in which it's clearly artificial intelligence.

75
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 2: It's clearly a I generated And then I will just

76
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 2: for giggles and grims. Sometimes that's not what I really

77
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: want to say, but you know what I'm want to say,

78
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 2: I can't.

79
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 3: For FECs and grims.

80
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 2: Sometimes I'll go through and I'll look at comments, or

81
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 2: I will take what they have written, plug it into

82
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 2: Lexus and Nexus or some other AI platform and see

83
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: is this true? And I would I would venture to

84
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 2: say that at least seventy five percent of the time

85
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 2: it's not true. The same is true on x Facebook. Oh,

86
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 2: Facebook is even the worst, is the absolute worst, in

87
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 2: my opinion, and In fact, some of you have been

88
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: guilty of it because I've had I've had to take

89
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: down some posts that you have put up. We live

90
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: in a society now where you know, it's kind of

91
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: funny because what's our Let me see if I can

92
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 2: pull up my signature. We have to put on our

93
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 2: signature lines. Now, where's my scent folder.

94
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 3: Let's see.

95
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 2: Guaranteed human. That's a new tagline for iHeartMedia. Guaranteed human.

96
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: Well we are. I'm here in the flesh and blood,

97
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 2: although from two to four I'm not. Dragon's here in

98
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 2: flesh and blood, so it's guaranteed human. I think what

99
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: they really mean is it's really me, It's really dragon.

100
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 2: We don't just sit at home and feed talking points

101
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: into you know, an AI platform and say come up

102
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 2: with a monologue. We just don't do that. But it's

103
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 2: getting harder and harder to discern because the better AI gets,

104
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: the more difficult is to discern the truth between must

105
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 2: been AI generated. And that's why I really I do

106
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 2: at some point and just think I just want to

107
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 2: delete these accounts. I haven't primarily for this reason because

108
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 2: particularly by the way, you can go follow me on

109
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 2: x at Michael Brown, USA. I don't particularly with X

110
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 2: because I have curated my account so that I've got

111
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: particular organizations individuals that I follow that I have either

112
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 2: I know they're going to lie, so I want to

113
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 2: see what they're lying about, or I know they're going

114
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 2: to tell the truth, so I want to see what

115
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 2: they say. And I've got a lot of the news organizing.

116
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 2: You know, members of the Cabal are on my curated

117
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 2: list because I want to see what they're saying. But

118
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 2: there's a disconnect between reality and narrative that clearly made

119
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 2: this impression on Orwell, because, as I said, he really

120
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 2: was worried that the very concept of objective truth is

121
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 2: fading out of the world in nineteen forty two. So

122
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 2: the theme of falsified history and the destruction of truth

123
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 2: then surfaced again when he wrote nineteen eighty four, where

124
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 2: he first used the term memory holes, memory holes that

125
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: swallowed inconvenient facts and then the past gets rewritten to

126
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: suit the needs of the party.

127
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 3: That book would go on.

128
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: To sell I think Well next to us of twenty

129
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 2: five million copies worldwide, And today we think of George

130
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: Orwell as a profit for foreseeing a future in which

131
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: the state's deliberate power could actually extinguish truth itself. Yet

132
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 2: I don't think that many today remember that five years

133
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 2: before the publication of nineteen eighty four, there is an

134
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: Austrian economist in his own magnum opus that explored how

135
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 2: the state destroys the truth Frederick Hight eighteen ninety nine

136
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 2: to nineteen ninety two. Now, I would guess that if

137
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 2: you are a what I would call a legacy listener

138
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 2: of this particular timeslot, then you probably have heard of

139
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: Friedrich Hei because I'm certain that Mike Rosen probably referred

140
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: to him a bazillion times. And his book the most

141
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,719
Speaker 2: Name of which The Road to Served Them j that

142
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 2: got rejected by three publishers before.

143
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 3: Finding a home.

144
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 2: The very first run of The Road to Serve Them

145
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 2: two thousand copies sold out in ten days, and then

146
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 2: it went on to sale more than two million copies.

147
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,719
Speaker 2: It has been translated into more than twenty other languages.

148
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 2: And the core argument of the Road to Served Them

149
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 2: was pretty simple. Central planning, however, well intentioned, erodes individual

150
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 2: freedom and set society on the highway to serf them.

151
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 2: Central planning, yeah, yesterday. It's a minor example. Two examples

152
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: from yesterday. One I pleasure the SoundBite of, for lack

153
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 2: of a better label, the tenants are that Zofram Mom

154
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 2: Donni has appointed in New York who doesn't apparently believe

155
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 2: in private property rights. I think that's an example of

156
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 2: central planning. The other example is I recently purchased a

157
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 2: new vehicle and I purchased it online out of state

158
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 2: because I couldn't find exactly what I wanted with any

159
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 2: dealership in Colorado. Finally found one in Indiana had it

160
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 2: shipped to me, and of course it's the first time

161
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 2: in my entire life that I've purchased an automobile from

162
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:49,239
Speaker 2: out of state. The bureaucracy that Colorado has set up.

163
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 3: Is mind numbingly stupid.

164
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 2: The hoops you have to jump through to register from

165
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: many of you there are non native that have moved

166
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 2: into the state. I'm sure you've maybe experienced the same

167
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 2: thing just trying to register a car you already own

168
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 2: that you just moved into Colorado. That's probably bad enough.

169
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 2: But if you've never actually purchased a vehicle online and

170
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 2: then had it, you know, transported to your driveway, and

171
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 2: then gotten all the paperwork and gone to the you know,

172
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 2: to the local DMV. I want to say something very

173
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 2: particular here. The person who helped me, she was wonderful,

174
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: she was pleasant, she was friendly. But my gosh, the

175
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 2: paperwork and the double checking and the checking and going

176
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 2: through every little line by line by line, and you know, well, well,

177
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 2: you know what, what's this phone numbering?

178
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 3: And you know.

179
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 2: You you paid this, and you you you paid so

180
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 2: much down and you traded in something of value and

181
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,719
Speaker 2: what's that and where's your contract? Oh, this contract is

182
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 2: kind of hard to read in the book, it was

183
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 2: just for central planning. Part I think of Colorado's desire

184
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 2: to kind of discourage you from owning a private vehicle.

185
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 2: That sets us on a path toward serfdom. But I

186
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 2: think something else gets overlooked beyond highex idea that central

187
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 2: planning eventually leads toward serfdom. And that's that economic control

188
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 2: does not remain confined to the economy, because once the

189
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 2: government directs production and crisis, inevitably that's going to morph

190
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 2: into what you think, how you express things, even what

191
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 2: you might believe. So for Hyak, the danger of socialism

192
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 2: was not only just a material impoverishment. As we see

193
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 2: right now in Venezuela. But the steady expansion of control

194
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 2: over the intellect. He wrote, it is not enough that

195
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 2: everybody should be forced to work for the same ends.

196
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 2: It is essential that people should come to regard them

197
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 2: as their own ends. I am my own end. I

198
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 2: pursue my own self interest. If you've not heard me

199
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 2: I say that, I've always said that a lot. What

200
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: makes this country great is that everybody can pursue their

201
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 2: own self interest. Now there are guardrails. My self interest

202
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 2: cannot infringe on anybody else's rights. So I've got to

203
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: pursue my self interest within the confines of respecting the

204
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 2: freedom of speech and the freedom of association and everything

205
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 2: else that people engage.

206
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 3: In the right of contract. I was trying to warn this.

207
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 2: I think that once government begins to manage prices and production,

208
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 2: you'll soon catch on to that. So therefore the government

209
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 2: also has to at some point start to manage your thinking.

210
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 2: And when the government takes control over your economic life,

211
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 2: it must justify those decisions to the people, and in

212
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 2: the government has to make people believe that they are

213
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,719
Speaker 2: the right decisions that the government has made. And when

214
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 2: they do that, that inevitably begins to decide which opinions

215
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 2: and values align with the government's thinking, rewarding and amplifying

216
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 2: voices that comply, while at the same time simultaneously punishing, suppressing,

217
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 2: and silencing those that do not align with the government's

218
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 2: values or their opinions. The end of truth, Chapter eleven

219
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 2: of the Road deserved them. I read the book for

220
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 2: the first time. I don't know for anom account here

221
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 2: fifty years ago. I hate to say that that didn't

222
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 2: really stick out to me. But take the COVID nineteen pandemic.

223
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 2: What was that really. I'm not gonna put on a

224
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 2: conspiracy hat, but you know that I'm speaking the truth

225
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 2: when I say that that was a type of economic experiment.

226
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 3: What did the federal government do?

227
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 2: All these health recommendations soon became a religion. It became

228
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 2: the dogmas. And if you were to question, say, the

229
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 2: efficacy of wearing a mask, I just heard in the

230
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 2: news David Cale'll talk about somebody flew season the recommend

231
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 2: you wear masks. Wear it's a good grief. We've been

232
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 2: through this before. Those masks don't do anything to stop viruses. Bacteria, yes,

233
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 2: viruses no. You don't know the difference go back to

234
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 2: basic biology.

235
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 3: One on one.

236
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 2: If you question if the efficacy of masks or the

237
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 2: stupid idea of social distancing, which again was a number

238
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 2: pulled out of of put other butts, you risk being censored.

239
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 2: You were accused of spreading misinformation. And so the scientific

240
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 2: debate collapsed based on official decrees. And if you questioned

241
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 2: the plan, or you resisted the plan, you could lost

242
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 2: your job, you got booted off those social media platforms.

243
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 2: I don't think Hayk would have been surprised by any

244
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 2: of that. He warned that the plans constructed by central

245
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 2: planners must be sacrilsanct and exempt from criticism. He wrote,

246
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 2: if the people are to support the common effort without hesitation,

247
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 2: then they've got to be convinced that not only the

248
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 2: end aimed at, but also the means chosen are the

249
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 2: right ones. Public criticism or even expressions of doubts must

250
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 2: be suppressed because they tend to weaken public support. It's

251
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 2: precisely what's going on in this country right now, and

252
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,719
Speaker 2: that's what's going to happen in New York, because in

253
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 2: New York, Zofran has already decided that oh Police's tenant

254
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 2: Zar has that private property ownership or being a landlord

255
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 2: is some form of white supremacy, and it's somehow enslaving people.

256
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 2: The way I find owning private property to be enslaved

257
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 2: is the fact that I may have a house, I

258
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 2: may have several properties that are completely paid for, no mortgages,

259
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 2: no leans, know nothing, but do I really own it?

260
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 2: Every year I get a tax bill, the taxes property

261
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 2: that I've paid for that I have no leans, that

262
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 2: I have complete ownership of, except the government still got

263
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 2: its face in that private property. And what happens if

264
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 2: I don't pay the taxes, Well, it may take them

265
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 2: a while, but eventually the bureaucracy will catch up with

266
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 2: me and it will get sold at a tax sale.

267
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 2: And so then my choice is either pay all the

268
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 2: back taxes and reclaim the property and start paying the

269
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 2: taxes again, or let it go. So is the government's

270
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 2: a certain control over the economy, even things like your

271
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 2: own private property facts evidence All that gets subsumed to

272
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 2: political goals now Orwell illustrated that vividly in nineteen eighty four,

273
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 2: because when the party you refused to accept, Winston Smith

274
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 2: claimed that two plus two equals four. Oh, that was heresy. Well,

275
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 2: I think there's heresy going on in the country right now.

276
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 2: When I hear Mam Dami invoke the warmth of collectivism,

277
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 2: alls I can think of is a boot stamping on

278
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 2: a human face forever. Yeah, the bootle the neck. So

279
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 2: lives a TikTok revealed that her name Sea Weaver. That's

280
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 2: mom Nannie's nearly appointed tenant protection zar. But let's spell zar,

281
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 2: not czar. Let's spell it tsar, you know, like in

282
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 2: the old Russian czars. She's equatest home ownership with white supremacy. Now,

283
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 2: the obvious implication is that private property is going to

284
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 2: have to be abolished because well, anti racist grounds, you

285
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 2: got to get rid of private property. Back in twenty nineteen,

286
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 2: she now she since deactivated her ex account, but the

287
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 2: Internet lives forever. So a lot of people, including lives

288
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 2: a TikTok and others, have posted these. She wrote, quote

289
00:19:55,640 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 2: private property, including and kind of especially in old cap

290
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 2: home ownership is a weapon of white supremacy masquerading as

291
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 2: wealth building public policy.

292
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 3: Wow.

293
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 2: So the American dream of owning your own home or

294
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 2: maybe even owning your own business, like having a you know,

295
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 2: you go somewhere and you build a small steel building

296
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 2: and you open a small manufacturing facility or a warehouse

297
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 2: where you're going to you know, drop ship things or

298
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 2: something whatever, are your private property. No, that's a weapon

299
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 2: of white supremacy. Now that's almost well that's now seven

300
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 2: years ago, twenty nineteen, twenty twenty six. So this isn't

301
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 2: something like, oh I just came up with this. This

302
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 2: is a long standing belief. This is what the woman

303
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 2: truly believes. We heard it yesterday. I want you to

304
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 2: hear it again. I need to turn this down here we.

305
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 5: Go for centuries, we've really treated property as an individualized

306
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 5: good and not a collective good. And we are going

307
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 5: to and transitioning to treating it as a collective good

308
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 5: and towards a model of shared equity will require that

309
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 5: we think about it differently, and it will mean that families,

310
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 5: especially white families, but some UOC families who are homeowners

311
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 5: as well, are going to have a different relationship to

312
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 5: property than the one that we currently have.

313
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 2: I think, wow, we're going to have a different relationship

314
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 2: to property.

315
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 3: Now.

316
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 2: The statement I read to you early private property, including

317
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 2: and kind of especially home ownership, is a weapon of

318
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:59,199
Speaker 2: white supremacy masquerading as wealth building public policy. That was

319
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 2: left out. You went talk about narratives again. That was

320
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 2: left out of the glowing article about her published yesterday

321
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 2: in the New York Times. Oh yeah, I know, you're shocked, right,

322
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 2: you mean there's gambling in the whorehouse.

323
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 3: I'm shocked. Now.

324
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 2: The article mostly discussed landlord abuses in places like the

325
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 2: Bronx and Brooklyn, And I'm not here to defend every

326
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 2: landlord in New York City. I'm not here to defend

327
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 2: every landlord in the country. Some landlords really sucked. The

328
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 2: landlord of this bill really sucked because I noticed that

329
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 2: the year at Old, the men's restroom still isn't repaired,

330
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 2: and the sign that I put up challenging them to

331
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 2: have it done by the end of the year is

332
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 2: still is still there.

333
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 3: And when did you put that sign up? Way before Christmas?

334
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 2: And in fact management knows about the sign because I

335
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 2: was just in there and had to go to a

336
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,479
Speaker 2: stall because Jojo was at the urine, and so you know,

337
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 2: he's seen the sign and he hasn't taken it down.

338
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 2: So I'm not gonna I'm not gonna defend the landlord

339
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 2: of this building. On the first day in office, here's

340
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 2: mom Donnie a company sofram accompanied.

341
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 3: By THEO Weaver.

342
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 2: They went to a rent stabilized studio in Flatbush where

343
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 2: he inspected a cracked floor and a bunch of other

344
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 2: signs of disrepair. Now that particular complex is owned by

345
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 2: some out there called the Pinnacle Group. They declared bankruptcy

346
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 2: last year. I do believe in denvery all over the country.

347
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 2: Neglectful landlords are indeed a scourge of the housing market.

348
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 2: That's even if upkeep is at times hindered, particularly in

349
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 2: New York, because the government imposed rent ceilings all the

350
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 2: lopside of the loss that make it all but impossible

351
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 2: to evict a tenant that doesn't want to pay rent.

352
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 2: Tackling those landlords is one thing, and there is a

353
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 2: way to tackle those landlords, and that is through obviously

354
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 2: tenant lawsuits, class action lawsuits, government regulation, legislation, city council

355
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 2: condemning properties are there are all sorts of things, but

356
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 2: it's quite another for Zamdami, for Zophram and for his tenants,

357
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 2: are to frame all home ownership as a form of racism.

358
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 2: Because I think exactly what she's doing in New York

359
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 2: A third of African American families and a fifth of

360
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 2: Hispanic families own their own homes, according.

361
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 3: To New York's Commission on Racial Equity.

362
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 2: Now, I think a lot of other people of color

363
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 2: aspire to ownership, and New York boasts lots of black

364
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 2: and brown landlords.

365
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 3: So are those.

366
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 2: Homeowners or the would be homeowners, the people that want

367
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 2: to own a are they somehow engaged in white supremacy?

368
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 2: Said to me by wanting to live the American dream

369
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 2: and own their own property. It's that sort of nonsense.

370
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 2: I'd like, it's bull you know what, It's bull crap

371
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 2: that kind of used to float about in left wing

372
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 2: circles during back when wokeness was really in its peak

373
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 2: wokeness roughly between the second half of the first Trump

374
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,959
Speaker 2: administration in the early Biden years. But then that kind

375
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 2: of absurdity really did, I think, in my opinion, start

376
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 2: to kind of disappear a little bit, especially with Trumps

377
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 2: two point oh, because Trump two point oh saw him

378
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 2: garner votes from just under half of Hispanic men. Mom

379
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 2: Donnie did as well as he did in part by

380
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 2: playing down the woke themes, focusing relentlessly on the cost

381
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 2: of living crisis, confronting you know, immigrants in particular, and

382
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 2: truthfully educated white people also, which is a point which

383
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 2: we should not gloss over. He campaigned trying to disavow

384
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 2: everything that he stood for, and even before he's sworn in,

385
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 2: starts making nominations, appointments, and statements that belied everything that

386
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 2: he talked about and disavowed during the campaign.

387
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 3: M Wolf in Sheep's clothing.

388
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 2: Absolutely, but that's what you would expect of a socialist

389
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 2: slash Marxist slash communist.

390
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 3: They're gonna lie.

391
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 2: To you, and they're going to rely on the lies

392
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 2: being believed by useful idiots, which tied back to what

393
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 2: I talked about in the first half of the segment

394
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 2: about how government establishes these narratives. So for him is

395
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 2: establishing a narrative. He established one narrative to get elected,

396
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 2: he establishes another narrative by which.

397
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 3: He wants to govern.

398
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 2: And since he's been elected, there are signs that he

399
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 2: plans to govern as a classic left wing radical, racialist,

400
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 2: Marxist communist. And when he hire Weaver, who honestly has

401
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 2: been a member of his inner circle. Again, according to

402
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 2: New York Times, that ought to be exhibit a campaign

403
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 2: one way, keep those people back in the closet, back

404
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 2: behind the closed door, don't let them speak him when

405
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 2: he took Michelle Obama off the campaign trail back in

406
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 2: two thousand and seven because oh my gosh, she was

407
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 2: saying things that were really gonna upset the album Carque,

408
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 2: so let's shut her down. Well, I'm sure so for him,

409
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 2: did the same thing with Sea see a Weaver. Her

410
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 2: rhetoric is really nothing short of a kind of latter

411
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 2: day socialism of fools. And that was how the German

412
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 2: socialist leader August Bebel characterized anti semitism himself, crediting the

413
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 2: left wing Austrian politician Ferdinand Crodawater with the phrase.

414
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 3: Of fools.

415
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 2: Instead of analyzing unjust economic systems anti semitism, I'm okay

416
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 2: forget anti semitism. All forms of racialism blames one racial group,

417
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 2: as if, for example, industrial bosses a century ago need

418
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 2: a Jewish inspiration to lord it over the workers, or

419
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 2: in this case, as if lousy landlords aren't to be

420
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 2: found in non white countries, non white you know, cities,

421
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 2: or among minorities in white countries. Is Zofram wants to

422
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 2: be taken seriously as a model of how the left

423
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 2: can win in a post twenty twenty four environment. He

424
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 2: got a fire her, but he won't because he himself

425
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 2: is a true socialist.

426
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 6: Very interesting post yesterday from Tony Zaruga. His statement is

427
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 6: that he believes the reason the Stitious six did the

428
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 6: video a few weeks ago was in the hopes that

429
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 6: the Delta Forces would not to the Macdureau raid and

430
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 6: thus protect the Democrats, Cash tel and the very existence

431
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 6: of the deep state. Would love your thoughts on this,

432
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 6: Mi Michael.

433
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 2: I saw that post primarily because you sent it to me.

434
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 2: But the one thing that I can't get over is

435
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 2: the operational security. The op set on that mission was

436
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 2: so tightly guarded, so closely held that there were zero leaks.

437
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 2: No one knew about it, and I don't understand. I

438
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 2: can't connect what Mark Kelly and the other five, including

439
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 2: Jason Crowe, what they did, however long ago that was

440
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 2: at least a month or so ago, knowing that this

441
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 2: was going to take place on January third. So I

442
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 2: understand the the logic of it, but the logic falls

443
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 2: apart when you look at the timeline and the operational security.

444
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 2: So I just don't think it was. I don't have

445
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 2: much time here, but I was thinking during the break

446
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 2: about everything like today, just today being the fifth anniversary

447
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 2: of January sixth, and it is, as you know, despite

448
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 2: some people argue, what are you even talking about it?

449
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 2: It's all over the news the cable channels. I just

450
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 2: took the clipping service. They've all got, you know, sound

451
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 2: bites and interviewing people about it. But just think about

452
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 2: the past twenty four hour news cycle. So Maduro and

453
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 2: his little drug running wife. They appeared in federal court

454
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 2: in New York City before a ninety two year old

455
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 2: federal judge, and Maduro tried to claim that he had

456
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 2: sovereign immunity, that he was a really nice guy, and

457
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 2: that he's a little you know, he's the president of

458
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 2: his country. And this ninety two year old basically said, slow.

459
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 3: Down, bucko. They'll be time for that, not now. Now.

460
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 2: Political characterizes that judge, whose name.

461
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 3: Is Alvin Hellerstein, as a young ninety.

462
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 2: Two year old, and I thought ninety two aren't at

463
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 2: that point? I mean, I know it's true for everybody

464
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 2: at any age, but couldn't the pearly gates appear at

465
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 2: any moment.

466
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 3: You're ninety two year old. I mean, you're ninety two

467
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 3: years old.

468
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 2: It's more likely than not that the gates of heaven

469
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 2: are going to open. And this trial go back to

470
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 2: the Noriego trial back in nineteen eighty nine, thirty some months,

471
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 2: if I recall correctly, thirty months from arrest through the

472
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 2: all the pre trial motions, the trial itself, and the

473
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 2: conviction I think was thirty months. So we're not going

474
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 2: to hear anything soon. And the ninety two year old

475
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 2: almost three years making ninety five years old. I hope

476
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 2: he stayed that. I know he's kind of anti Trump,

477
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 2: but I don't think that's going to affect many, if

478
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 2: any decisions in this criminal case.

479
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 3: But I hope he survives.

480
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 2: You know why, because I don't have to see a

481
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 2: trial start over or a mistrial because the judge died

482
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 2: and you got.

483
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 3: To start all over again.

484
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 2: Now, a lot of experts quoted in the media anyway,

485
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 2: they predicted that the markets would have a negative reaction.

486
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 2: Let me look up right now, let's see.

487
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 3: All the endites are up right now.

488
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 2: But they kept talking about the markets would have a

489
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 2: negative reaction to the taking him Aduro. Well, what really happened.

490
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 2: US markets went crazy positive, with the DALLA sitting a

491
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 2: new all height, all time high yesterday, So I don't

492
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 2: get it. In Minnesota, Waltz, Tim Waltz, the governor, announced

493
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 2: he wasn't going to run for reelection, which then got

494
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 2: me to thinking about what was the sudden turn of

495
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 2: events that caused him to decide to not run for reelection.

496
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 2: Did he get a phone call from Oh, I don't know, Pambondi,

497
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 2: cash Betel, somebody that just said, hey, we just want

498
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 2: you to know that you're under investigation too, and if

499
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 2: you resign or at least do something, maybe you wouldn't

500
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 2: face any jail time. Maybe we have decided not to

501
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 2: prosecute you. I mean, I hope that wasn't the deal,

502
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 2: because I hope they do prosecute him if indeed they

503
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 2: have probable cause for an indictment against the governor. I

504
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 2: hope they do that. But why would you withdraw from

505
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 2: the race right now? I think maybe he got the

506
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 2: phone call so we might see another announcement from Walls

507
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 2: somewhere in the near future, like not only not going

508
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 2: to run for reelection, I think I'll resign today. And

509
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 2: you wonder why we have to watch narratives so closely,
