We will be covering the news. 5 00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:49.799 I hope everybody's having a great Uh had a great week, 6 00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:52.799 looking for the great weekend. We will be back on 7 00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:56.200 the Run Book Show tomorrow Saturday and probably Sunday as well. 8 00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:59.039 Probably do a show on Saturday and on Sunday. Topics 9 00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:01.920 to be determined. We will let I will let you 10 00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:06.400 you guys know, let's let's jump in. Unemployment numbers came 11 00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:13.359 out today. Uh, number of jobs created exceeded expectations, so 12 00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:17.799 it was higher than what was expected by several tens 13 00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:21.280 of thousands of jobs. So this was a good news. 14 00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:23.560 The market went up quite a bit today as a 15 00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:31.519 consequence of that, stocks did well and generally I think people, 16 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:35.959 I guess the market is hopeful that maybe the the 17 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:40.120 negative GDP number that came out the other day is 18 00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:46.560 is not real. Of course, the numbers, the employment numbers 19 00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:51.799 are really pre the impact of of of tariffs, pre 20 00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:54.799 impacted Liberation Day. Everything is pre in particular Liberation Day. 21 00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:58.000 So I'm not sure there's too much to celebrate. But 22 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:02.519 you know, do you see enemy as always is resilient 23 00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:06.719 and you know, seem to be able to withstand even 24 00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:13.680 the dumbest or the the the most harmful of economic policies. 25 00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:18.719 So yeah, so we we do have we employment numbers 26 00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:22.319 were better than expected. Markets up hopefully for one K 27 00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:26.960 reflects that. And generally you know, the S and P 28 00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:31.879 five hundreds have been up for days now and uh, 29 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:35.560 and we're seeing equity markets recover, I think partially also 30 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:40.560 because the market at least into Trump is saying that 31 00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:45.199 he is going to reduce tabs in China and he's 32 00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:47.800 gonna compromise and he's going to be nice to Chinese 33 00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:51.120 and all of that. We still haven't seen anything specific, 34 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:55.240 anything in action, but at least the market is pricing 35 00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:59.960 tariffs not to have a too big of an impact 36 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:04.039 on the US and for the Trump administration actually significantly 37 00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:07.879 moderate its views on tariffs in the days and weeks 38 00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:11.639 to come. And again, the employment number, which is really 39 00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:15.719 much more important in a sense than GDP because it 40 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.280 reflects the number of jobs available to people, and that 41 00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.159 is the basis on which a standup living quality of 42 00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:25.520 life is based. That is a good sign that it 43 00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:29.520 hasn't that it's that it's was better than expected. It's 44 00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.840 still positive growth. I don't know if that will last. 45 00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:33.639 We will see. 46 00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:37.599 I still think there's the potential for thousands, maybe even 47 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:41.280 hundreds of thousands of small to medium sized businesses to 48 00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:42.120 shut down. 49 00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:42.960 Here because of tariffs. 50 00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.400 But you know, we'll say, maybe maybe Trump will reverse it, 51 00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:52.120 reverse the worst of the tariffs in the in the 52 00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:56.159 next few days and will avoid the worst impact of 53 00:03:56.960 --> 00:04:01.759 the tariffs on the American economy. Certainly, the market seems 54 00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.840 to believe that. Certainly the market seems to believe that, 55 00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:09.599 and markets, it's hard to argue with markets. People are 56 00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:14.439 putting their money where their mouth is. So we'll keep 57 00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:18.240 monitoring and keep seeing how things evolve and how things developed. 58 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:22.120 By the way, yesterday we did an interview with Phil 59 00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:26.800 magnus and and really good on tariffs and trade, and 60 00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:30.360 you guys should watch it. He's he knows a lot 61 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:33.000 about the history, and we talked a lot about the history. 62 00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:35.560 And since there's a lot of. 63 00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:40.639 False information out there about the history of Taos and 64 00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:44.439 trade in US history, I think you should you should 65 00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:47.160 watch the interview from yesterday to give you a good 66 00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:52.240 introduction to the history of US economy in at least 67 00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:55.439 from this perspective. 68 00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:01.199 So that was that unemployment number. 69 00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:04.680 There was one other story I wanted to cover before 70 00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:08.040 we got rolling with the stuff I had listed. 71 00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:09.839 But we're just going to jump in. 72 00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:14.720 Uh bou Kelly is a really interesting story in the 73 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:20.480 New York Times a couple of days ago. Uh that 74 00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:28.000 about bu Keley and about you know, all these prisoners 75 00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:33.600 that the US has deported to the Al Salvadorian jail. 76 00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:37.759 Uh So the Times that was reporting about negotiations that 77 00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:39.399 Bookelly had with the United States. 78 00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:40.720 Now I remember who bu Kelly is. 79 00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:44.759 Bou Kelly is A is the president of Al Salvado. 80 00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:50.680 He came to power and really had pretty unremarkable first 81 00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:57.040 couple of years until he decided to basically do everything 82 00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:01.800 he could to clamp down on on violence. Initially, when 83 00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:06.279 he came into power, he negotiated deals with the gangs 84 00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:10.279 to reduce violence in Olsavado. When he realized that was 85 00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:14.480 not working, he basically indorsed the plant the base that 86 00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:17.040 that went out there, sent out the military and the 87 00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:22.480 police and arrested anybody who had drug related tattoos. Tens 88 00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:26.000 of thousands of people who were arrested. He also built 89 00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:32.319 massive prisons. Everybody is arrested, and then they had these 90 00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:34.560 mass trials to try to figure out who was and 91 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:36.959 who wasn't. In the meantime, everybody was incarcerated. 92 00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:42.680 There was no innocent until proven guilty anything like that. 93 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:47.959 He literally arrested huge numbers of elseo Adoian citizens and 94 00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:50.759 put them in jail. Uh, and and then kind of 95 00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:52.680 try to sort it out after the fact. And again, 96 00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:56.800 proof of membership in a gang was tattoos. Is that 97 00:06:56.839 --> 00:07:00.279 familiar to anybody? Familiar? Yeah, this is the policy that 98 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.759 Donald Trump is mimicking. In order to do this, he 99 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:07.319 declared a state of emergency, put the put the troops 100 00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:11.360 out into the streets, and incarcerated again, tens of thousands 101 00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:15.639 of people, many of them innocent. And uh, you know, 102 00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.560 for what it seems like is going to be very 103 00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:19.560 long periods of time. 104 00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:23.319 Uh. The consequence of this is predictable. 105 00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:26.959 If you take the male population of any of any 106 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:31.279 country and you incarcerate a significant proportion of them, you 107 00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:34.639 will see a decline in violent crime. Violent crime is 108 00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:41.120 a male phenomena. Women do not, you know, generally commit 109 00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:46.480 violent crimes. Violent crimes are primarily male committed by men. 110 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:48.279 You know, I don't know what the percentage is, but 111 00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:52.399 it's it's large. So if you lock men up, violent 112 00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:55.199 crime goes down. Indeed, in El Salvado it went from 113 00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:59.000 the most the highest murder rate in the world to 114 00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:02.720 like a you know, a pretty bad US city, but 115 00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:06.279 just a US city, so not that bad, you know. 116 00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:13.680 As a consequence, Bukella became unbelievably popular. He then, in 117 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:18.600 spite of the constitution limiting his term of president in 118 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:21.240 Losovado to only one term, he then ran for a 119 00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:21.800 second term. 120 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:23.680 Does that sound familiar. 121 00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:29.160 I've seen Trump is selling these Trump twenty and twenty 122 00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:34.360 eight hats already, so you know, Trump is learning from Bukela. Anyway, 123 00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:37.600 he ran anyone in a landslide because he had made 124 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:42.200 Alsovado much safer. He is also, you know, out there 125 00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:48.039 blaming higher prices on grocery departments. He is in athirbitarian 126 00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:50.600 when it comes to the economy. He is a central planner. 127 00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:55.759 He is an a real athbitarian in Lsovado. The people 128 00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:58.559 so far love him because the reduction in crimeates, but 129 00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:02.840 he's also far, far far from being a capitalist. For 130 00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:05.840 a while, people raved about him because he embraced a 131 00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:09.600 bitcoin and made it legal tender in the country. But 132 00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:12.840 the reality is that the Alsavadoran economy is not doing well, 133 00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:16.080 has not done well even under his rule, and therefore 134 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:21.919 they needed a large loan for a large loan in 135 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:25.080 order to keep the country going. And in order to 136 00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:31.200 do that, the IMF required that he, you know, he 137 00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:34.799 basically was send legal tender status from bitcoin, which he 138 00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:35.080 did a. 139 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:36.120 Couple of months ago. 140 00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:41.000 Anyway, Becaulay is a statist authoritarian whoa is nothing for 141 00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:46.360 individuals or individual rights, bet who has been able to 142 00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:51.080 achieve certain level of a reduction or significant level of 143 00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:54.000 reduction in crime in Alsavado, and he gets a lot 144 00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:55.799 of credit for that. Anyway, he has. 145 00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:59.399 Built these massive jails. They have some spare space. 146 00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:03.519 So the Trump the Trump administration went down to negotiate 147 00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:08.279 with Bukele in order to send depotees from the United 148 00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:13.639 States UH to Arsvado. What was interesting is that Bukele, 149 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:20.279 when when the Trump advisors approached him, was was worried. 150 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:27.600 You know, he he he, you know, he really wanted, uh, 151 00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:30.720 he really wanted to make sure that the people being 152 00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:38.240 sent down were actually criminals. Uh, that they were actually convicted, 153 00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:42.480 they were actually gang members. Surprisingly, he did not want 154 00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:49.399 to take Americans who or American illegal immigrants, you know, 155 00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:56.840 whose only crime was being in the United States illegally. Uh, 156 00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:03.000 he said, all jail convicted criminal, but not not just illegals. 157 00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:05.720 And part of that was a worry of how we 158 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:06.559 would look at home. 159 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:11.399 A lot of el Salvadors, Salvadorians have relatives who are 160 00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:15.200 illegal immigrants in the United States, and they don't want 161 00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:18.639 to see their relatives, and they don't view going to 162 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:24.159 America illegally as a crime justifying being in a Salvadorian 163 00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:28.759 horrific high security jail. I guess only Americans think that 164 00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.000 being in illegal in America justify such treatment, as Salvadorians don't. 165 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:36.759 So he couldn't really convince his own people that it 166 00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:38.919 was in their self interest for the United States to 167 00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:44.159 be dumping US deputees in his jails. So he told 168 00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:47.759 the Americans that he really wanted if he was willing 169 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:51.840 to do it, but only if they should improve that 170 00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:56.799 these people were actually gang members and convicted a criminal. 171 00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:03.759 He wanted evidence. Of course, once they started deporting people 172 00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:08.480 into the jails, the use officials had problems gathering the evidence. 173 00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:11.600 For one, most of the people who were sent to 174 00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:15.879 Al Salvado, to the Al Salvadot jail were not not 175 00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:24.120 convicted criminals. So they came up with a scorecard that 176 00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:29.679 the Homeland Security Department created which assigned kind of points 177 00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:31.799 for different attributes. So you kind of if you have 178 00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:36.320 a lot of tattoos, you got four points. If if 179 00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:42.879 you had other you know, what do you call it, 180 00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:47.759 attributes that linked you somehow to gang membership, you got 181 00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:51.200 other points. If you scored more than four, more than 182 00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:54.559 eight points, more than any points the tattoos plus something 183 00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:58.080 else like somebody said or somebody who reported you as 184 00:12:58.720 --> 00:12:59.840 then you were considered. 185 00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:00.000 The gang member. 186 00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:06.080 That and then they promised him an invitation to the 187 00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:10.320 White House to have a visit with Trump, And those 188 00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:14.799 two things seemed to have convinced Bukeller to take on 189 00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:17.679 the deputies and to accept them in spite of the 190 00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:22.559 fact that they are not convicted criminals. He was willing 191 00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:26.399 because the US labeled them violent criminals. In this way, 192 00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:29.960 he could stay, you know, he could stay. 193 00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:31.080 Close to Trumps. 194 00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:35.720 Even though at the meeting with Trump in front of 195 00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.519 the reporters, Boo Keller took a very tough stance. He's 196 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:43.679 not returning anybody, you know, He's happy to take the deputees. 197 00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:46.879 These are violent criminals, and so on and so forth. 198 00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:52.080 He himself had some real doubts about all of this. Now, 199 00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:57.559 I imagine a world in which a dictator of a 200 00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:02.840 small Central American country who has extra jail space has 201 00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:06.200 doubts about the people that the United States is imprisoning 202 00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:12.120 in his jails. But the United States, the American administration 203 00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:15.240 responsible for protection of the rights of people who reside 204 00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:19.879 in America, has no problem with it, has no problem 205 00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:25.240 with it. So yep, it's impractical to give twenty one 206 00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:27.799 million people a trial. So what, let's just shoot them? 207 00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:30.559 What the hell, let's just shoot them they are human beings, 208 00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:33.799 because we can't give them a trial. They're just overwhelming 209 00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:35.799 us with numbers. So we're going to send them to 210 00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:39.919 a now Salvadorian jail instead, you know, shooting them as 211 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:43.320 a little brutal or Salvadorian jails. That's a much better 212 00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:48.679 environment for them, That's okay. It's just unbelievable the disregard 213 00:14:49.559 --> 00:14:53.600 so many Americans now have for the lives of individual people, 214 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:58.039 for the lives of people who want to live in America, 215 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:02.279 who risk their lives and much of their fortune to 216 00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:03.399 come and live in America. 217 00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:05.559 So what the hell they. 218 00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:09.039 Hear illeally, Oh my god, this is one of the 219 00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:13.799 biggest criminal activities one can engage in entering the United 220 00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:14.840 States without a visa. 221 00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:19.120 And therefore, you know, can't shoot them. 222 00:15:19.159 --> 00:15:20.879 We'd like to shoot them, can't shoot them, so we'll 223 00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:25.639 send them to a brutal in Salvadorian jail. It really 224 00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:28.879 is pretty pathetic that this is the state of America. 225 00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:33.759 I can understand, you know, Okay, they boke the law, 226 00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:36.559 just like everybody else breaks the law. You put him 227 00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:39.240 in front of a judge, and you tried them, and 228 00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:42.399 you know the penalties. The penalties are not that big. 229 00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:45.279 You know, you deport them, you don't put them in 230 00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:49.879 a jail. But we now, because of what's happened over 231 00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:53.039 the last two ten years, because over the last ten years, 232 00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:58.200 led by Trump, intellectuals on the right have basically dehumanized 233 00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:01.639 illegal immigrants. There now not fully human. They certainly have 234 00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:06.519 no individual rights, they have no rights. Now it's okay 235 00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:10.720 to just round them up, round them up and send 236 00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:15.039 them to jails or deport them to countries where where 237 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.159 where they're going to be treated horrifically, or back in jail, 238 00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:23.000 send them back to place like Venezuela, which is which 239 00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:28.840 is a socialist hell hole. What the hell, they're not human, 240 00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:35.000 That's what kind of the Trump and the Rights new 241 00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:41.440 rhetoric basically suggests all of us so really horrific. It's 242 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:47.399 it's just it's just disgusting, Uh, the way we are 243 00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:51.919 treating human beings and so on American so so so 244 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:55.759 on Americans, so the opposite of what you would expect 245 00:16:55.759 --> 00:17:15.200 Americans to be. So they yeah, they've lost this status 246 00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:21.559 as individuals because they're illegal. We treat we treat criminals 247 00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:24.079 in America better than we do them, because criminals in 248 00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:35.119 America get a trial. Immigration is the topic. 249 00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:42.640 That, Yeah, it's it's it's so it's so upsetting because. 250 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:49.160 Because we're talking about human beings, and we're talking about 251 00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:53.559 human beings. So if you're uicies and you have rights, 252 00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:55.440 and if you're not a US you don't have rights. 253 00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:58.319 If you ever read the Declaration of Independence, We'll get 254 00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:02.079 to Donald Trump's intoation of dectoration independence in a minute, 255 00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:04.640 but if you've ever ever read the Declaration of advantage. 256 00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:08.160 It says all men are created equal, all men. It 257 00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:16.200 doesn't say citizens. It says they're all endowed with inalienable rights, 258 00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:19.480 the right to life liberty in the pursuit of happiness. 259 00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:23.119 Know where there is a citizen, Know way there to 260 00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:26.519 say American, Know whay there to say any of that. 261 00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:39.279 It says all men are created equal, all of them. 262 00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:43.920 But to expect anybody to take the declaration in advantage seriously, 263 00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:49.519 it it is just bizarre. They're inside the United States. 264 00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:51.359 As soon as you step into the United States. The 265 00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:54.480 job of the US government, the only frigging job of 266 00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:59.880 the US government, is to protect your rights, whether you 267 00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:05.279 leg illegal otherwise. Now you can be then accused of 268 00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:10.160 violating laws and you know, brought in front of a 269 00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:12.799 court or whatever. But you don't lose your right to 270 00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:14.799 life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. 271 00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:15.799 Because you cross the border. 272 00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:17.960 You don't lose your right to life liberty in the 273 00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:20.839 pursuit of happiness because you're illegal. 274 00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:22.839 You're a human being. 275 00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:28.359 And if you'd actually look at some of these human beings, 276 00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:31.160 if you actually look at why they come to the 277 00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:34.240 United States, what they went through in order to get 278 00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:38.279 to the United States. You would be if you were 279 00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:40.960 if you were a human being, you would be ashamed 280 00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:42.359 of your attitude. 281 00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:43.880 Around illegal immigrants because. 282 00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:47.519 I mean, what would you do if you were born 283 00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:50.519 in an El Salvadorian hellhole? 284 00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:52.440 Would you not. 285 00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:57.640 Try to get into the United States? And given that 286 00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:00.440 it's impossible for you to get in legally, do not 287 00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:04.720 get in illegally? And what would your moral status be 288 00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:10.640 if you didn't try? Like it's almost like you could say, 289 00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:13.759 I could say, it's almost like it would be a 290 00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:16.079 model not to try to get into the United States 291 00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:18.920 I legally, because then you're not pursuing. 292 00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:20.400 Your life. 293 00:20:24.039 --> 00:20:27.720 But you who are the beneficiaries, some of you who 294 00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:31.799 are the beneficiaries of living in the United States by 295 00:20:31.880 --> 00:20:37.039 accident of birth, you can sit here and oh, very illegal. 296 00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:49.640 They should be sent to jail in Lsalvado. All right, 297 00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:59.880 the chat has gone crazy? God, what's going on? 298 00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:05.400 All right? Quickly? In Ukraine Russia? 299 00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:11.720 So you know, we talked yesterday about the mineral deal 300 00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:14.880 that was signed a couple of days ago, and today 301 00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:20.759 we got the announcement that the US is formally pulling 302 00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:28.640 out of attempting to coordinate a peace deal between Ukraine 303 00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:36.160 and Russia. So no more whitcough running around the world 304 00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:40.359 speaking to Putin and others and to try to get people, 305 00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:44.480 try to put pressure on Zelenski and so on. So 306 00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:47.559 the US Department, it used to State Department, announced that 307 00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:50.880 it will be withdrawing from and will no longer mediate 308 00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:57.440 peace between Ukraine and Russia after Russian President Putin refused 309 00:21:57.440 --> 00:22:01.680 to sign a set peace settlement ending his full scale 310 00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:04.160 illegal invasion of Ukraine. I don't know if they said 311 00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:08.640 illegal invasion of Ukraine. It's now up to, according to 312 00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:12.079 State Department, up to the two parties to present concrete 313 00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:16.279 ideas about how the conflict is going to end, and 314 00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:19.680 they should be directly to end the war. So it's 315 00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:21.799 going to be interesting to see what happens at this point. 316 00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:35.400 And it's it's going to be interesting to see if 317 00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:40.680 Trump changes it attitude towards Putin or towards Zelensky, whether 318 00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:46.680 the attitude changes. But this should go under the big heading. 319 00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:51.039 We should have a document ready and the title of 320 00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:55.680 the heading should be Trump fails and we should start 321 00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:59.720 listing all the Trump failures in this document. And certainly 322 00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:02.960 this was one that he promised, I mean he didn't 323 00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:03.799 just promise once. 324 00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:05.839 He repeated this many many times. 325 00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:10.599 During the campaign and a little bit during actually after 326 00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:14.720 he won the presidency that he would solve the Ukrainian 327 00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:16.680 Russian War within. 328 00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:19.119 Twenty four hours. Twenty four hours. 329 00:23:20.920 --> 00:23:25.799 Now maybe he exaggerated twenty four days, twenty four twenty 330 00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:27.960 four days. Now he's given up in twenty four months. 331 00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:35.759 So just listed as a Trump failure among the many 332 00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:39.319 that have already happened. I'd say most of his presidency 333 00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:43.279 so far has been a failure, and the failure is 334 00:23:43.279 --> 00:23:47.079 to come. But you know, as I as I've said 335 00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:51.240 in the past, Yeah, this is a massive Trump failure. 336 00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:59.119 You know I I've said, I guess that. You know, 337 00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:01.559 Trump is the worst as in American history, or we'll 338 00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:04.359 go down as the worst president in Meerican history. So 339 00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:08.400 I'm reading a little bit about American history and I'm 340 00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:12.079 going through kind of the period of Woodrow Wilson, And 341 00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:17.279 I got to tell you, Woodrow Wilson was probably in 342 00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:25.039 terms of violating the Constitution, violating individual rights, probably worse 343 00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:29.039 than Trump. It was worse than Trump in particularly given 344 00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:32.640 how much freedom still existed. 345 00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:35.319 Back then. 346 00:24:35.759 --> 00:24:41.440 Right in that part of that period of American history, 347 00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:47.839 so you know, nineteen thirteen to nineteen seventeen, so I 348 00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:50.559 mean the amount of violations the Woodwrow Wilson engaged in 349 00:24:50.599 --> 00:24:54.039 his four years as president. I mean, freedom of speech 350 00:24:54.400 --> 00:24:58.200 was really gone, massive interventions in the economy which were 351 00:24:58.279 --> 00:25:04.640 unprecedented before that, you know, just just violations of constitution 352 00:25:04.920 --> 00:25:08.200 left and right, partially in the name of entering. Of course, 353 00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:11.400 he entered World War One, which was an unmitigated disaster. 354 00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:16.119 Under Wilson, we got a FED, we got the income tax, 355 00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:22.359 and we got raising of the income taxes dramatically. Initially, 356 00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:24.160 I don't know if you know this, but initially the 357 00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:27.559 income tax was very low, I think eight percent, and 358 00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:31.839 only under very, very very wealthy. So most most overwhelming 359 00:25:31.839 --> 00:25:35.680 majority of Americas didn't pay income tax. And that's how 360 00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:37.920 it was sold to the American people. You won't ever 361 00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:40.759 pay it. It's just a wealthy will paid. And then 362 00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:43.960 the rates went way up and everybody started paying it. 363 00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:50.039 So within the Wilson administration, so Wilson, Yeah, Wilson was 364 00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:55.119 worse and was much more of an ideologue. That's the 365 00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:58.680 other difference. Wilson was an idea lugue. He was the 366 00:25:58.720 --> 00:26:05.200 first fully come admitted progressive and the one who really 367 00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:10.400 shifted progressivism to become a democratic thing. You know, where 368 00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:14.200 it had been progressivesm was really republican. It was it 369 00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:21.680 was Teddy Roosevelt who was a progressive, the progressive president again. 370 00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:25.759 But Teddy didn't get much done. Woodrow Wilson got a 371 00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:29.640 lot done. You read the history, it's it's actually quite 372 00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:34.599 shocking and surprising that America did as well as it 373 00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:46.519 did during that entire period. All right, just to remind 374 00:26:46.559 --> 00:26:49.440 you that the Democrats are still crazy. 375 00:26:50.720 --> 00:26:51.960 I found this story. 376 00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:54.279 It's it's kind of bouncing around, it's it's it's this 377 00:26:54.359 --> 00:26:55.559 is insane. 378 00:26:55.559 --> 00:26:56.640 But this is right at the. 379 00:26:56.559 --> 00:27:07.440 Heart of the Democratic Party. Are we not streaming? Are 380 00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:20.400 you not seeing this? You guys can see the video 381 00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:26.279 and audio right, everything's good. Yep, yep, still streaming. I 382 00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:33.200 So Democratic Party is trying to figure out what it 383 00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:38.599 stands for. And while I'm sure there's some moderate Democrats 384 00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:40.559 who are going to come to the forefront and and 385 00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:44.079 try to capture the party, ultimately, so far the party 386 00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:48.759 is pretty dominated by you know, the kind of nutty left. 387 00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:52.880 The nutty left is more motivated, it's more passionate, it's 388 00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:53.680 more organized. 389 00:27:54.680 --> 00:27:56.440 I mean, moderates don't organize. 390 00:27:56.440 --> 00:27:58.640 What do you organize under a ban of oh, we're 391 00:27:58.680 --> 00:28:01.279 all organized, we're all moderates. 392 00:28:01.880 --> 00:28:05.839 Let's get passionate about being a moderate. Let's get passionate about. 393 00:28:05.599 --> 00:28:08.039 Not being as woke as those people are. I mean, 394 00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:12.119 you don't get that the woke people really passionate. You're 395 00:28:12.119 --> 00:28:17.160 seeing AOC rallying large groups around with Bernie Sanders. And 396 00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:20.559 she is going to run I think for president. I 397 00:28:20.559 --> 00:28:20.839 don't know. 398 00:28:20.880 --> 00:28:22.400 I didn't know if she was old enough. 399 00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:24.200 To run, but people are talking about who running in 400 00:28:24.200 --> 00:28:27.119 twenty twenty eight. I thought she had to be older 401 00:28:27.119 --> 00:28:31.200
