I'd be curious how you feel that that would play out, because I'm convinced that they basically rug pull all the remaining wealth out of the middle class while they then utilized, for example, a big bailout to justify further taxing the middle class that just lost their life savings to repay themselves as they basically eject and flee from the country.
46:50
yes uh sorry i was coughing there um the the thing is you know like i've had these arguments with simon dixon i i said you know he he he basically reduces everything to economics it's you know that everything is about money now it is but in the short term and they they don't have very good long-term vision and they uh actually end up destroying the host you know as it were because uh they they they take too much from the host and it ends up destroying the host so this is what we're under right now is a kind of siege and um they they will definitely here's the thing here's why i differ with simon dixon he as i said he's an economic reductionist And that means he doesn't take into consideration things like ideology, political belief, group identity beliefs, and simply tribalism, really, as it were.
48:01
He just doesn't get that.
48:03
And so this group, this tribe, we'll call them Israel as such.
48:10
they they have a means by which they in induct outsiders into the core so you asked about trump you know is he just simply corrupted no i think that trump was inducted a long time ago into the into the core of the group and we saw signs of this induction through his own children his daughter converted to Judaism, which is, you know, you might as well just vote to consign yourself to hell.
48:46
But that being said, I mean, we've seen they induct people into their ranks, and that's how I think it works.
48:55
And then they end up having those people assume the values that they hold.

associate their own interests with
25:11
What is that? Who are you? What's your background?
25:14
Okay, yeah, I'll just correct you a little bit here.
25:16
I've published 15 books, had published 15 books.
25:21
I was a professor at NYU for 11 years.
25:26
Previous to that, I taught at Duke, Carnegie Mellon, Case Western Reserve University.
25:33
I left NYU in 2019 after a squabble with them over free speech, as a matter of fact.
25:41
And they, you know, with reference to the woke agenda and the, I ended up having to sue the university because they were vastly, blatantly libeling me on the NYU faculty listservs and some of the professors there.

41 MINS LATER

66:57
How do you fight that?
27:22
And there might be obviously it sounds good to say well uh there are a lot of poor people who don't have bank accounts they need bank accounts here's a way to do it um so this seems like not just a threat in the us although the us is working on this very diligently it's across the world that this is happening
27:43
yeah i mean look every time they use the word inclusion they want to make sure everybody is included You should run for the hills.
27:51
This is the sure sign of the attempt to institute a totalitarian order.
27:58
When everyone's included, there's no outside of the system.
28:02
That's totalitarianism.
28:03
So that's what they want to make sure they get everybody feeling like this is something that's good because there's millions of people.
28:11
The World Economic Forum went on and on about this, too.

10 MINS LATER

38:29
And the solution often is just to have natural market forces really, really work this out.
0:00
Well, it started from standing by on the internet, watching this horror unfold, and realizing that the United States was the greatest enabler of this, that realizing that it would never stop unless we got rid of the people that were perpetrating it in the US government.
0:15
We can't change Israel, per se, unless we stop giving them money and so forth.
0:19
That'll change them, but directly we can't.
0:21
But we can change our own government, and that, I thought, is necessary.
0:25
We must de-Zionize the United States government in order to give us sovereignty and for greater chances of peace, not only in the Middle East, but the world over.

7 MINS LATER
