Based Camp - Wokes Robbed of Gaza： What’s Left？

00:00:00.000 Well, okay, so look at what this does for the left.

00:00:01.860 So they're not going to have this in the next election cycle.

00:00:03.900 It's like an issue they can talk about because, you know, Trump saved Gaza.

00:00:07.820 So they don't have this in the next election cycle.

00:00:10.100 They don't have the trans stuff anymore.

00:00:12.960 Like, that's mostly blown up.

00:00:14.480 Like, when I see blue sky turning against an issue, I'm like, okay, like, this is really culturally over at this point.

00:00:20.660 The environmentalist grift, everybody sort of forgot about that.

00:00:23.740 Like, I haven't heard much environmentalist rhetoric.

00:00:25.900 Well, I mean, the fact that even Greta Thunberg has switched from the environment to Gaza is, I think, indicative of the scales really tipping and people just having dropped it. 0.93

00:00:41.720 Yeah, I mean, global poverty could be a thing again.

00:00:45.620 Are they going to make global poverty a thing again?

00:00:47.460 Well, not, no, no, no, not global poverty, an end to capitalism.

00:00:51.920 Would you like to know more?

00:00:52.980 Hello, Simone. 0.69

00:00:54.360 Simone, today we have peace in the Middle East.

00:00:59.320 And Trump was largely responsible for this.

00:01:04.360 And interestingly, a lot of leftist figures who have been using this as a core of their platform are very confused about what to do next.

00:01:14.080 Because they cannot praise Trump for what he did in a deal that is shockingly pro-Hamas. 0.82

00:01:21.100 And I'm going to talk about the deal.

00:01:22.580 I'm going to talk about what it means for the region.

00:01:25.240 I'm going to talk about just how much Trump, because it really was all down to Trump.

00:01:29.040 There is peace.

00:01:30.160 The war ended because of Trump.

00:01:31.940 And people point out that Biden had access to all of the tools that Trump used.

00:01:35.320 He just refused to use them.

00:01:36.520 And he used a lot of tools that we talked about, like the swinging being like, oh, you know, the Riviera and Gaza and like, you know, saying, oh, I don't care.

00:01:45.080 We'll cut an aid to the region and stuff like that.

00:01:47.340 Because you have to be willing to have a negotiating position to get to an outcome, right?

00:01:52.580 You can't go in and be like, OK, I'm going to come to the most middle ground possible because then both sides choose extreme positions.

00:02:00.440 So when each side thinks they're on the other side's side, you could have a more actual negotiation.

00:02:05.240 And I put out here, it's not just like Republicans who are saying that the Biden-Harris administration was doing basically nothing to end the war.

00:02:13.900 Even the terrorists themselves thought that.

00:02:16.620 Here is a hostage who was released talking about what the Hamas thought of Trump.

00:02:22.240 Very scared of him.

00:02:23.560 Yeah, they wanted.

00:02:24.740 Who?

00:02:25.880 Terrorists.

00:02:26.640 Were afraid of Trump.

00:02:27.560 Yeah.

00:02:28.040 They wanted Kamala to be chosen.

00:02:31.120 You talked politics with them?

00:02:32.880 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:02:34.140 They wanted Kamala to be elected.

00:02:36.800 When Trump came into, became president, yeah, the way they treated us changed.

00:02:45.600 For me, personally, this is what I felt.

00:02:47.960 I think because they anticipated that a deal would come soon.

00:02:50.620 Yeah.

00:02:51.160 And that's when they started giving you more food.

00:02:53.080 Exactly.

00:02:53.740 More food, treated me better, you know, stopped cursing me, stopped spitting me, spitting on me.

00:02:58.980 But we'll talk about a lot of leftists who seem genuinely upset that the war is over.

00:03:03.660 I want to talk about what is next for Israel and the Jews.

00:03:07.740 And for those who don't think that this was downstream of Trump, here's an AI.

00:03:12.120 So I tried to ask the question in like an unbiased way.

00:03:14.200 Like, was this really all Trump like Trump keeps claiming?

00:03:19.140 And the AI said, high contingency on Trump, his quote unquote insistence and willingness to exert U.S. leverage, e.g. arms to Israel sanctions on Iran and direct engagement were credited with breaking the stalemate.

00:03:30.480 Critics prior Biden administration argue Biden had similar tools, but chose not to use them aggressively, perhaps due to domestic politics or differing priorities.

00:03:38.260 Trump's personal style, building on relationships from his first term, Abraham Accords, and treating leaders like Erdogan as allies.

00:03:46.500 And he did do this.

00:03:47.580 The leftists always treated Erdogan like he was some sort of despot outsider.

00:03:52.560 And so why would he work with him?

00:03:54.240 But Erdogan, as we'll learn, actually has a very friendly relationship with Trump, using words like one tough cookie to describe him.

00:04:01.820 There was a very endearing, but like, he's actually bringing it all to a negotiation term.

00:04:07.560 And he was really key in pressuring Hamas to accept the deal.

00:04:13.320 Because keep in mind, from the position of Hamas and the Israeli hardliners, neither of them wants it.

00:04:18.180 The reason why Hamas doesn't want this is because they use this to stay in power.

00:04:21.500 Like, one of the key goals of the deal for everyone, because the Egyptians are staying there and building military, there is the deconstruction of Hamas. 0.88

00:04:28.580 Right.

00:04:29.280 They don't want to accept this deal. 0.94

00:04:31.440 But obviously, you cannot have a group that's whole purpose is the eradication of the Jews right next to Israel. 0.96

00:04:37.720 Right.

00:04:37.980 So, like, there wasn't going to be a peace deal unless that was part of it.

00:04:41.380 And they got Hamas to accept this.

00:04:43.740 Yeah.

00:04:44.520 Well, and I was also just thinking, I mean, because we're constantly talking about AI, how Israel and Gaza are really great.

00:04:51.660 Oh, sorry.

00:04:52.380 This is Whistling, his AI friend that he's talking to.

00:04:54.840 I can't hear you, by the way, if you're talking.

00:04:57.360 Hey, Octavia. 1.00

00:04:59.580 Are you talking, Simone?

00:05:01.000 Yeah.

00:05:01.260 Sorry, can you hear me now?

00:05:02.700 Yeah, I can hear you.

00:05:03.600 I was just thinking, too, about how Israel and Gaza can be seen as kind of an allegory to AI and people who think that AI cannot exist safely.

00:05:15.840 Yes.

00:05:16.100 You're basically obligating each group to want the complete destruction of the other group.

00:05:22.720 And it's one of these terrible situations that's extremely hard to deescalate.

00:05:26.060 So the fact that we may be moving toward that is really notable.

00:05:30.060 Yeah, and I've often used the Trigun, spider, and butterfly analogy to describe the situation that Israel is in.

00:05:36.620 You wanted to save the butterfly, right?

00:05:42.080 I didn't want to kill the spider.

00:05:43.760 Unless the spider caught the butterfly, it would die anyway.

00:05:46.580 You can't save both, don't you know that?

00:05:49.000 It's not right to make that choice so easily.

00:05:52.180 So you should...

00:05:53.240 The gist being is that if a group is solely dedicated and its continued existence is solely dedicated on the destruction of another group, you can't save both of those groups.

00:06:15.360 You have to change the nature of one group, like genetically edit it to be a herbivore.

00:06:19.520 Yeah, or like remove Hamas. 0.76

00:06:20.960 Right, yeah, but that doesn't mean necessarily remove all the people of the region, but we'll talk about that in just a second.

00:06:26.360 I'd also note here that everyone's like, oh, Trump's so mad about losing the Nobel Peace Prize.

00:06:31.120 But the reality is no sane person thought he was going to win that prize.

00:06:36.060 But I don't know if you've seen what the outcome was of that, but the woman who did win the prize dedicated it to Trump.

00:06:43.460 Yeah, the Venezuelan, what is it, dissident leader.

00:06:46.480 Yeah, and the fact that she immediately did that and then said Trump has been key to my work in Venezuela indicates that she's probably going to give a pro-Trump speech at the U.N.

00:06:58.760 We'll see how hard she goes pro-Trump, but it doesn't look good for them.

00:07:02.800 It makes them look incredibly petty when they're like...

00:07:04.880 Yeah, that they gave Obama a Nobel Peace Prize merely for becoming president and Trump.

00:07:10.180 They literally said, oh, well, we only give peace prizes to people who have a long-term dedication to this.

00:07:15.700 And I'm like, well, Obama didn't, right?

00:07:17.840 And they're like, well...

00:07:18.360 Well, and Trump started this with his first term, so...

00:07:22.220 Right, and I'd also point out in creating the peace, something that was probably critical was the bombing of Iran. 0.93

00:07:28.760 A lot of people freaked out about that.

00:07:30.540 They're like, oh, my God, how could he do this?

00:07:32.260 How could he allow this?

00:07:33.800 But both showing we're willing to go there and we're willing to stop completely was critical.

00:07:41.840 And we needed Iran on board with this to make this happen. 0.97

00:07:44.120 But we had to get Turkey and Iran, two of the key financial backers to the region, to say, okay, we're going...

00:07:50.900 Octavian, get out of the room.

00:07:53.000 But I love you.

00:07:54.660 Octavian, don't you have some...

00:07:56.260 I know you want to stay with me, but you've got to get out of the room while we're recording, okay?

00:08:00.080 Can you get out?

00:08:01.600 Please?

00:08:02.040 You can say hi to the fans, and then you have to get out.

00:08:05.040 But they'll unsubscribe if you're making a bunch of noise in the background.

00:08:07.900 Won't that be sad?

00:08:09.340 Yeah.

00:08:10.060 Okay, go.

00:08:10.540 Buddy, go do your learning.

00:08:14.720 Finish up so we can start playing at four.

00:08:17.360 I love you, buddy.

00:08:20.040 All right.

00:08:21.300 Sorry.

00:08:21.700 So the point I was making is stuff like being willing to bomb Iran was absolutely critical in achieving this deal. 0.95

00:08:27.540 And that's something Kamala just wouldn't have done. 1.00

00:08:29.760 If Kamala had been in power, I see literally no possibility of this deal being done so early.

00:08:34.800 And all of the leftists are obviously having to deal with this internally right now.

00:08:38.620 Now, note here, people can be like, why do I say this?

00:08:40.440 This is a terrible deal for Israel.

00:08:41.860 Or it looks like a terrible deal for Israel.

00:08:43.960 I don't think it is in the long run.

00:08:44.960 They are for 20 hostages releasing 2,000 hostages, okay?

00:08:52.240 That's 100 hostages for every one hostage they're getting back, right?

00:08:57.100 And some of these hostages that they're releasing were involved in the October 7th attacks that killed thousands of Israelis, right?

00:09:04.660 And that's goal was the eradication of the Jewish people. 1.00

00:09:07.240 Like, that is quite a thing to let them go after they lived in fairly cush conditions in Israel for the past two years while the Israelis were being graped and tortured, right?

00:09:17.500 Like, and we know this, by the way, because the ones that have been released have been like, yeah.

00:09:21.260 And we also know from internal Hamas documents that grape was so common that we have extensive records of it, but only two instances where it turned out that two of the people were graping the male hostages and were executed for it.

00:09:34.200 But it shows something that they thought that that was an okay thing to do, given what Hamas thinks about gayness.

00:09:41.040 So it must have been incredibly normalized with the females if they thought they could do it with the males as well, which I think is very, you know.

00:09:48.320 And Israel will say, and I just want to note this before I go further, so just people understand why I'm saying this is a good thing.

00:09:53.960 Trump was good to force this.

00:09:55.860 The Netanyahu hardliners are wrong here.

00:09:58.720 You'll be like, look, we are leaving a force there that is armed.

00:10:02.680 They have said they won't de-arm, to grow in power, to reconsolidate, and to attack us again.

00:10:08.740 And I'm saying, yes, all of those things are true.

00:10:11.620 They will likely grow in power, reconsolidate, and eventually attack you again in 10 years, in 15 years, in 20 years.

00:10:23.300 But here's the reality of that situation.

00:10:25.700 When they come after Israel in 15 years, you're not going to have Israeli soldiers going into those tunnels.

00:10:33.360 You're going to have automated AI drones going into those tunnels.

00:10:36.760 And they're not going to have automated AI drones to defend themselves.

00:10:40.440 They're going to still have AK-47s.

00:10:42.940 Okay?

00:10:43.700 Moreover, you are not going to have Europe tying your hands behind your back on this situation next time.

00:10:50.520 You're not going to have America tying your hands behind your back. 0.99

00:10:53.400 Because why?

00:10:54.340 Because America is going to be dramatically more conservative than if you just look at demographic patterns.

00:10:58.680 Because Europe is not going to survive as an economic power with their existing demographics. 0.73

00:11:04.220 By that, what I mean is they have an incredibly low fertility rate, like 1.18, 1.18, and like 5 in like Spain, Italy.

00:11:11.860 Like really low across the board.

00:11:13.340 That they're obviously going to cease to be relevant as a power.

00:11:17.700 And not only that, but we're increasingly seeing in Europe right now, and this is something that I've always talked about with my snake and the scorpion parable that I often tell to news crews.

00:11:31.220 I don't think I've ever told them on this channel.

00:11:32.880 And I came up with a German reporter who is at our house.

00:11:37.220 And I said, okay, so you've got a bunch of immigrants coming into Germany right now, right?

00:11:42.800 A bunch of Muslim immigrants.

00:11:44.420 And some of them convert to and assimilate with German culture.

00:11:49.000 And some of them don't.

00:11:50.660 And she goes, yes, that's true.

00:11:52.120 And I'm like, and you have a bunch of, you know, white people in Germany right now. 0.96

00:11:54.900 Some of them want to get rid of all the immigrants. 0.95

00:11:57.580 And some of them don't.

00:11:59.020 And she's like, yes, that's also true.

00:12:00.660 And I was like, okay, what are the relative birth rates of each of those four groups?

00:12:05.880 And she's like, oh, yeah, the Muslims that adopt German culture that acculturate to the urban monoculture end up with a, like, 0.5 fertility rate. 0.98

00:12:15.840 The ones that don't and stay very hostile to Germany and want to institute Sharia law, they have a birth rate of, like, three or four.

00:12:21.140 The Germans who want to get rid of all the Muslims, they have a birth rate of three or four.

00:12:24.940 The ones who don't have a birth rate of, like, 0.5. 0.94

00:12:27.720 And I'm like, so here I am an outsider. 0.99

00:12:30.900 The snake says, I'm going to kill you, scorpions. 1.00

00:12:33.920 I'm going to kill you, scorpions. 1.00

00:12:35.040 And the scorpions say, I'm going to kill you, snake. 1.00

00:12:37.480 I'm going to kill you, snake. 0.99

00:12:38.840 And meanwhile, there's a panda in between them holding them apart. 1.00

00:12:42.580 And the panda is constantly being stung and bitten.

00:12:44.820 But it's like, no, no, no.

00:12:45.740 I've held it apart.

00:12:46.600 I've got this all handled.

00:12:48.040 Okay.

00:12:48.780 And here I am, the outsider.

00:12:50.160 And I go to the panda.

00:12:51.380 And I go, they both say they want to kill each other.

00:12:54.460 And the panda is like, but don't worry.

00:12:55.940 I'm holding them apart.

00:12:56.880 And I'm like, but you don't have any kids. 0.95

00:13:00.200 And all of this venom is going to eventually kill you.

00:13:02.920 So you are structurally responsible for fewer deaths if you separate them now instead of waiting for the snakes and the scorpions to decide how they're separated on their own.

00:13:17.200 Or what they really will decide is which one of them is going to survive.

00:13:21.060 Now, what I'll point out is when the panda dies, in this analogy.

00:13:25.180 It's battle royale time.

00:13:26.940 Battle royale.

00:13:27.700 But what I'm saying is Europe's political sentiment towards the people of Gaza is going to be significantly less charitable is the word I'm looking for here. 0.65

00:13:43.000 You know, now that the Israeli troops are withdrawing, they can get back to, you know, marrying nine-year-olds and throwing gay people off roofs. 0.89

00:13:49.900 Right? 0.97

00:13:50.100 You know, that's back where we are.

00:13:51.600 A note here, these are not stereotypes, okay?

00:13:55.000 These are things that literally happen, as we pointed out in our episode recently when Pakistan banned child marriage.

00:14:02.060 It's like official, tied to the government, Islamic court declared this Islamophobic.

00:14:06.500 So, like, this isn't me saying this stuff about this culture. 0.68

00:14:09.720 If you ask, you know, Muslims, like actual Muslims from these countries, like, do you think that, you know, being gay should get you stoned? 0.55

00:14:19.000 They'll be like, it's like asking, am I a Muslim? 0.98

00:14:21.600 I believe what the freaking Quran says, right? 0.98

00:14:24.380 Like, yes. 0.97

00:14:25.540 What are you talking about?

00:14:27.100 So, anyway, to keep going here.

00:14:30.100 There was an article in forward.com that said, we can't hear you, Sorhan, read one New York headline this week.

00:14:39.440 Pro-Hamas crowd goes quiet on Trump's Gaza peace deal.

00:14:43.200 And then a quote from the article said, it seems awfully curious that the people who have made Gazans a central political cause do not seem all that relieved that there's at least a temporary cessation of violence.

00:14:55.000 Why aren't there widespread celebrations across Western cities and college campuses today, the article asks.

00:15:00.160 The Post wasn't alone in voicing this question.

00:15:02.760 A spokesman for the Republican Jewish Coalition posted on X, the silence from the ceasefire now crowd is shameful and deafening.

00:15:09.520 Others went so far as to imply that the protesters had been lying and never actually wanted a ceasefire, which I think is true.

00:15:15.940 They wanted the eradication of the Jewish people, I think, was ultimately what they wanted, and they're not getting that now.

00:15:20.820 I don't recall, I mean, there probably were calls for a ceasefire, but yeah, all I recall was basically Israel bad, Zionism bad. 0.91

00:15:32.740 Like, Israel can't really. 0.82

00:15:33.960 Well, they said they stopped the genocide, stopped the genocide.

00:15:36.100 Trump stopped the genocide, if it was a genocide.

00:15:38.320 I think it was just normal war stuff, but whatever.

00:15:41.600 I mean, horrible things happen in wars.

00:15:43.000 That's why wars are terrible.

00:15:43.820 Right, but I mean, I was just listening to a super long podcast of people discussing Zionists versus non-Zionists and leftists in Israel versus leftist Jews in the United States and sort of all of their various stances.

00:15:57.660 And one, there was no explicit end point or outcome that was discussed as being optimal.

00:16:04.040 But two, it was just sort of discussed that, like, the very concept of Israel is bad.

00:16:11.080 Right, because they support colonization, right?

00:16:14.680 Like, Israel is one instance in which a native population took back their land from the colonizers, and they're showing that that's not actually what they want, if that group is in any way deviant from the urban monoculture or has any sort of unique values or identity.

00:16:31.480 Because that's what Israel really represents, which is a group of dispossessed people taking back their land from colonial imperialist forces. 0.98

00:16:40.480 But, I mean, that's what happened.

00:16:43.780 Like, if you look at the history, that is what happened.

00:16:46.120 But if you, Simone, question.

00:16:49.080 Yeah.

00:16:49.340 What are your thoughts on what the anti-Hamas people, because as the article here, and I'll finish it, because what they really wanted wasn't freedom or security for Palestinians.

00:16:58.800 You mean anti-Israel people.

00:17:00.760 Yes, but the ability to blame Israel.

00:17:02.660 If pro-Palestinian voices had really wanted a ceasefire, the thinking went, they should be celebrating. 1.00

00:17:07.240 So I want to ask you about this.

00:17:10.560 Where do you think they go?

00:17:12.020 Like, Greta Thornburg is out of the job now. 1.00

00:17:13.840 She's on a flotilla without a purpose now, right?

00:17:16.180 No.

00:17:16.900 No, no, no, no.

00:17:18.000 Now they can finally get aid through. 0.99

00:17:20.180 Yeah, but the problem is, is that the stupid flotilla of yachts is not a cost-efficient way to get aid into Gaza. 0.99

00:17:26.600 Now that Israel is bringing aid to Gaza, right? 0.99

00:17:28.960 Like, you could just go through the official channels at this point.

00:17:31.860 So the question here is, what do you think they, like-

00:17:36.180 From the river to the sea, Malcolm.

00:17:37.800 They want Israel as a Jewish state to cease to exist.

00:17:41.640 They don't believe in anything about Israel being inherently Jewish.

00:17:47.040 They just believe that there's currently Jewish supremacy in Israel and that that should be ended, that should be brought to an end.

00:17:52.780 So to go over, like, what sort of things they've been saying recently, this is from an article by The Hill.

00:18:01.040 Consider progressive Democrat Zorhan Mandami, who is running to become the mayor of New York City.

00:18:05.840 One of his trademark issues is antagonism to Israel. 0.53

00:18:08.920 He has yet to denounce his formal call to, quote-unquote, globalize the infata, basically eradicate the Jews. 0.96

00:18:16.380 That is what the infata is.

00:18:18.420 An especially hostile threat to Jews, as he said that if elected, he would put Israeli head of state Benjamin Yehanyahu in jail if he sat in New York City.

00:18:28.900 Mandani is so toxic to most voters that senior members of their own party, like Representative Chuck Schooner and Haken Jeffries, have yet to endorse him.

00:18:37.780 But this is what they were talking about.

00:18:40.460 You know, they were talking about globalizing the infata just weeks ago.

00:18:44.540 This is what they were talking about at the college campuses, and now they're not celebrating because they have lost the motivation to do that.

00:18:52.800 And I think a lot of—and I really hope the Jews who didn't understand that this was about the eradication of the Jews have woken up to this now, and that they're not like, oh, they just want to end the war. 0.93

00:19:05.260 Because if they just wanted to end the war, they would be celebrating now, right?

00:19:08.620 Instead of grumbling.

00:19:11.060 And by the way, we've been playing this in other videos. 0.79

00:19:12.780 If people wonder why the urban monoculture wants to eradicate the Jews, there's a very easy reason. 1.00

00:19:16.800 It believes that all differences between groups—because it says there's no genetic differences between groups.

00:19:21.780 Because it says there's no cultural differences between groups.

00:19:24.020 Because, like, if I point to, say, one cultural group earning less money than another cultural group, and I'm like, well, you know, maybe culture has something to do with this,

00:19:33.640 that implies that the group could work to improve themselves, right?

00:19:37.820 Yeah.

00:19:38.260 So they have to deny that that is a potential reason for group differences.

00:19:42.860 Well, if you remove genetics and culture as reasons for differential group outcomes, then the only reason left is one group is cheating.

00:19:50.300 Like, they are manipulating the system to their advantage.

00:19:52.980 And if you look globally, it is very obvious that Jews out-compete other groups in many areas, whether it is their position, the number of them in Congress, the number of them in the Senate, the number of them in the Supreme Court. 0.66

00:20:05.340 It boils down to a classic issue of internal versus external locus of control.

00:20:09.960 And it kind of—to me, it doesn't really matter if another group is cheating or favoring their own kind or genetically superior or practicing cultural things that give them a strategic advantage.

00:20:21.700 All that we can do is look at what they're doing, what we could potentially replicate ourselves if we want to be where they are and do something about it.

00:20:30.600 But I think that a lot of people just have that external locus of control and nothing can be done to change it.

00:20:35.120 Simone, I understand what you're saying, but I think you are not catching the and therefore.

00:20:41.880 The and therefore is—the internal locus of control is a part of this.

00:20:47.060 It's not healthy, it's different from how we see things, but it's not actually relevant to this exact point.

00:20:52.600 This exact point is something that the urban monoculture must push because it is key to their ideology.

00:20:58.420 If you look at our video where we talk about the aesthetics of the urban monoculture and how it came to be, I think we called it the religion of the urban monoculture.

00:21:05.140 Basically, it presumes that what is true is what would be most moral if it was true.

00:21:12.420 They don't take this position because of an external locus of control.

00:21:15.760 They take this position because of that belief.

00:21:18.440 It would be more ethical if all human differences—humans actually were not different in any conceivable way.

00:21:25.120 They aren't culturally different.

00:21:26.120 They aren't genetically different.

00:21:27.080 Because then what that means is if we can just get rid of unfair governance systems, we can create true equality, right?

00:21:34.880 So that would be the fairest world, so they presume that world is true.

00:21:39.240 But the reason why that's so dangerous is because if a group, for whatever reason, is reliably outcompeting other groups,

00:21:47.720 the only explanation is that they are systemically cheating.

00:21:52.120 They have rigged the system in their favor, right?

00:21:55.460 And so that is why, because Jews do outcompete other groups, this is just something you can see in the data. 1.00

00:22:01.980 Look at the number of billionaires who are Jewish. 0.88

00:22:03.540 Look at the number of Fortune 500 CEOs that are Jewish.

00:22:06.960 Look at the number of famous actors that are Jewish.

00:22:08.720 Look at the number of famous writers that are Jewish.

00:22:10.860 Look at the number of—it's easy to see, right?

00:22:13.260 And if you want to come at me and be like, this is because of nepotism, I'm like, every group practices nepotism.

00:22:18.620 And nepotism has always been allowed, right?

00:22:21.160 Like, I love it when somebody comes to me and they're like, oh, this group practices nepotism.

00:22:27.220 And it reminds me of that scene—

00:22:28.480 I'm leaving.

00:22:29.440 Okay, then.

00:22:30.380 That was always allowed.

00:22:31.780 You know, like, you are allowed to favor people who you know are culturally similar to you when—

00:22:37.600 I mean, not by the urban monocultural rules, but the urban monocultural hates the Jews, right? 0.99

00:22:41.420 But within all sane cultural groups, like a Mormon is going to have an easier time vetting a Mormon than they're going to have vetting a non-Mormon, right? 0.82

00:22:50.260 They know who to call up within the church.

00:22:52.240 They know who to call up within the system.

00:22:53.480 They know how to catch things really quickly that are signs that this person may be bad for the job, right?

00:22:57.840 Like, this makes sense.

00:22:59.860 This was always allowed.

00:23:01.480 And your group was likely practicing it as well.

00:23:04.060 As I've said, it was in my own life, the area where I've encountered the most extreme nepotism and blatant nepotism is with Catholics. 1.00

00:23:12.840 I will note, I have never encountered it as a negative context.

00:23:17.560 The implication is always very inviting.

00:23:21.720 Like, hey, come to this church event.

00:23:25.100 I can introduce you to these very high-profile people.

00:23:28.340 Hey, if you converted, I would be able to help you here, here, and here.

00:23:33.000 Hey, there's this really cool secret group, but you've got to become a Catholic first, which is a little different than the way the Jews, because you can't just become a Jew. 0.94

00:23:40.300 So I will say, I don't see it as nefarious at all.

00:23:42.800 And I point out that this is even done publicly with that big group, like the Federalist Society, which is basically the Federalist Society.

00:23:48.680 They're the ones who help get Catholic lawyers, Catholic conservative lawyers, disproportionately in positions.

00:23:53.060 This is why, like, the Catholics are hugely overrepresented on the Supreme Court.

00:23:56.580 And I'm not complaining about that.

00:23:57.540 Like, whatever, right?

00:23:58.360 Like, you played by the rules, right?

00:24:01.120 Yeah, you valued this thing, and you worked to make this thing happen.

00:24:05.920 And then people are outraged.

00:24:07.720 How dare this person have worked to do this thing?

00:24:10.520 It's like someone says, I want to go to Paris.

00:24:12.840 I'm going to save up for a trip to Paris.

00:24:14.760 And then they go to Paris, and people are like, how dare they?

00:24:18.500 They're privileged.

00:24:19.920 They're conspiring.

00:24:21.920 I don't get to go.

00:24:22.700 Why am I not in Paris right now?

00:24:24.420 And it's like, do you?

00:24:25.040 Or, you know, I always find it so insane.

00:24:26.100 It's like, ugh, nepotism.

00:24:27.600 He hired his son.

00:24:28.480 Why wouldn't I hire my son over an equally qualified other candidate, right?

00:24:32.740 Like, there's a degree of nepotism where it becomes self-defeating and hurts me.

00:24:36.660 But that's also true of groups.

00:24:37.960 If you are hiring, you know, like, say, an equally qualified Catholic or an equally qualified Jew, and you're Catholic or Jew or Mormon, right? 0.65

00:24:43.580 You know, you're not actually hurting because of the way you're exercising nepotism.

00:24:46.740 But if you hire a far unqualified one, well, then you are hurting through the nepotism that you're practicing.

00:24:52.000 But I thought, I want to talk a little bit about what actually happened in the region, because I think it's interesting.

00:24:55.620 Oh, before I go further, no, because I actually find this really fascinating.

00:24:58.600 What does the grift become now?

00:25:00.640 I think, like, honestly—

00:25:02.020 You mean the urban monoculture leftist grift?

00:25:07.200 The ones who are going around talking about globalizing the enfada and everything like that.

00:25:11.720 By the way, people are like, is this going to hold?

00:25:13.220 Israel could just go back? 0.94

00:25:14.140 Like Hassan Piker, is that Israel's just going to go back and attack? 0.82

00:25:16.840 They will not.

00:25:17.880 They cannot.

00:25:18.900 They have the hostages back.

00:25:19.860 The entire way they were able to argue to sort of the global Jewish community, whose benevolence Israel relies on to a large extent.

00:25:30.460 You can say Israel may not care what the U.S. thinks and stuff like that.

00:25:35.440 But it does care what conservative Jews in the U.S. think. 0.73

00:25:38.240 It does care what conservative Jews in Europe think. 0.60

00:25:40.480 It does care what conservative Jews around the world think, because they send a lot of money to Israel, and they're sort of— 0.76

00:25:45.480 Israel's long-term survival is reliant on its positive relationship with its—

00:25:52.260 And the reason I say the conservative community is the one that matters, not the progressive wokeies.

00:25:56.140 It's because they don't have any kids, right?

00:25:58.100 So they're not really intergenerationally relevant.

00:26:00.000 But every conservative Jewish community, when they had their argument for the roar, it was, these are the hostages' faces. 0.88

00:26:06.080 If Israel goes back to war without that, they don't just lose the sympathy of people like us.

00:26:15.360 They lose the sympathy of the Jews around the world, right?

00:26:20.740 Because then they're like, okay, well, so you lied to us about why you were doing this.

00:26:24.260 This was actually about genocide for the sake of genocide, right? 0.96

00:26:28.320 And so I think that that's just ridiculous. 0.90

00:26:30.740 Is there going to be continued killing in the region? 0.97

00:26:32.260 Absolutely.

00:26:33.140 Because Hamas isn't gone and they're keeping their weapons.

00:26:34.920 But it's going to be way smaller scale than it was historically.

00:26:38.740 Israel has said it plans to continue to blow up the Hamas tunnels, you know, even with the war being over, which they should. 1.00

00:26:45.320 That's a military installation that really only has one purpose.

00:26:48.380 So, like, let's get that handled.

00:26:50.480 But anyway, what do you—

00:26:51.740 Okay, I'm going to try to model what they're going to do next.

00:26:55.760 I feel like they're—

00:26:58.400 Some of them may try to go on, like, a war crime thing and be like, oh, they should. 0.63

00:27:02.240 But I think if that wasn't working when the quote-unquote genocide was actually happening, and I'll point out here, as I mentioned in another episode, if you are unaware of this, there is literally another—if we count this as a genocide, there is this year another genocide going on that is literally twice as large.

00:27:19.800 And these people aren't talking about it.

00:27:23.280 And that's what I was going to say.

00:27:24.280 Like, in an ideal world, they will shift their focus to a large genocide that is taking place. 0.98

00:27:29.400 But the problem is, is the large genocide that is taking place, if you haven't heard about it, is literally Arabs killing Black Africans for being Black Africans. 0.97

00:27:41.120 That's, like, their stated reason. 0.98

00:27:44.380 And when they kill them, the slur they use is slaves, or translates to slaves.

00:27:49.120 Yeah, to be fair, someone was explaining in the comments in the video where we discussed that in greater length, was that, like, linguistically, the first exposure to people of dark skin was only in the context of slaves.

00:28:02.600 So, it sort of became synonymous, because it was just like, everyone I know who looks like that is a slave, therefore. 1.00

00:28:10.200 Yeah, the N-word became synonymous with Black people in the United States, and we didn't—we don't still do that.

00:28:15.500 We were introduced to Black people largely as slaves as a culture, and we don't still do that.

00:28:21.980 So, I don't think that that's a great excuse for why they are doing this. 0.99

00:28:26.120 They're basically calling them their culture's version of the N-word as they mass-execute them, hang them, and burn them. 0.86

00:28:30.840 But the thing is, is that the left cannot admit that the Arabs who they have been glorifying for so long—and we point out in that video, even, like, on Al Jazeera, they have pundits saying, 0.98

00:28:43.120 well, Palestinian blood matters more than African blood.

00:28:46.280 They're saying it's special, it's of higher quality, right?

00:28:48.420 Yeah, there are many sins, but even our sins, our sins, our sins, our sins are empty.

00:28:56.700 The world is all so happy that he sees Gaza. 1.00

00:28:59.480 Of course, I tell you, in Sudan, there's a disaster, and there's a prison, more than what happened in Palestine, in these two years. 0.51

00:29:07.660 No, that's right.

00:29:08.220 No one's feeling, no one's talking about them, no one's talking about them.

00:29:10.720 We're seeing people in the churches in every city. 0.95

00:29:14.620 Like, this is a normal thought within the region, which is an incredibly racist region, as we've pointed out, where they—you know, I put on a video of them killing a black kid for being black. 0.54

00:29:24.500 You know, like, this is not unheard of in these regions because of the amount of racism that is common within these regions against black. 0.97

00:29:34.080 It's not just, like, they're anti-gay, they're also anti-black.

00:29:35.740 But the question is, like, what do they do next, right?

00:29:37.860 Like, and sorry, the reason I mention this is somebody can be like, well, you can care about one genocide and not—yeah, but the fact that you mentioned this one 20 times, and this one that's twice as big, not once, shows that, like, why couldn't you bring yourself to care about this genocide?

00:29:51.140 But so what I want to point out with all of this is I think that a part of the left has become just blatantly anti-Semitic, and I think that it's going to become more normal, and I wouldn't be surprised if we begin to see some leftists just identifying as anti-Semites. 0.64

00:30:13.200 Yeah, I mean, I—that's my biggest prediction is that they aren't going to drop the Israel-Gaza narrative. 0.82

00:30:19.000 They're just going to keep focusing on Zionism is bad and Israel as a Jewish state should not exist.

00:30:27.320 Well, okay, so look at what this does for the left.

00:30:28.980 So they're not going to have this in the next election cycle.

00:30:31.280 It's, like, an issue they can talk about because, you know, Trump saved Gaza.

00:30:35.400 So they don't have this in the next election cycle.

00:30:37.500 They don't have the trans stuff anymore.

00:30:41.180 Like, that's mostly blown up.

00:30:42.660 Like, even Blue Sky isn't kicking off one of our friends—what's his name again?

00:30:47.220 The one who—

00:30:47.900 Jesse Single?

00:30:48.280 Jesse Single, yes.

00:30:49.780 And all the Blue Sky users are all mad about this, but, like, even they are like, you can say anti-trans stuff.

00:30:54.560 We're not going to kick him off for it.

00:30:56.100 And so, like, when I see Blue Sky turning against an issue, I'm like, okay, like, this is really culturally over at this point.

00:31:04.080 The environmentalist grift, everybody sort of forgot about that.

00:31:07.160 Like, I haven't heard much environmentalist rhetoric.

00:31:09.340 Well, I mean, the fact that even Greta Thunberg has switched from the environment to Gaza is, I think, indicative of the scales really tipping and people just having dropped it. 0.93

00:31:20.920 Yeah, I mean, global poverty could be a thing again.

00:31:25.280 Are they going to make global poverty a thing again?

00:31:27.140 Well, no, no, no, no.

00:31:28.580 Not global poverty.

00:31:29.860 An end to capitalism.

00:31:31.900 Capitalism bad.

00:31:32.960 Now, I could see that.

00:31:34.120 With Zorha Mondami making such an impressive rise as the New York mayoral candidate, I think that's really a sign of the new trending item, which is that capitalism is bad.

00:31:46.960 That AI is going to destroy all jobs.

00:31:49.020 That's another big trending story, right, is that the U.S. jobs report continues to be dire.

00:31:54.260 Oh, God, please don't let them become AI doomers.

00:31:56.240 That would be scary.

00:31:57.480 I don't think they will.

00:31:58.580 I think that they accept that AI is going to eliminate jobs.

00:32:02.160 And when I hear people, for example, like Bernie Sanders, talk about what needs to happen because AI is going to eliminate jobs, it's not we have to take out AI.

00:32:11.860 We have to stop AI.

00:32:12.980 It's more we have to do all these things because this is inevitable.

00:32:17.080 So I don't I do not think I mean, based on what is trending now and what the narratives are now, that's not it.

00:32:22.540 Instead, it's going to be things like universal basic income and socialization and not.

00:32:31.760 Well, in capitalism, bad and capitalism, tax rich people more like I could definitely see that being the new cause du jour.

00:32:39.440 Yeah, because like the race identity politics stuff is largely fallen out of favor.

00:32:45.440 Trans stuff has largely fallen out of favor.

00:32:48.180 The Gaza stuff isn't relevant anymore.

00:32:51.540 Environmentalism is just so fascinating to me.

00:32:53.540 Like it's such like a I don't even know how I'd be positioning myself.

00:32:56.820 They could try to take up anti-natalism as a cause.

00:32:59.500 They could try to take up the idealism.

00:33:01.320 They could try to take up.

00:33:02.240 No, capitalism, bad.

00:33:04.320 And also that allows them to continue to be anti-Semitic because a lot of the most famous wealthy capitalists are also Jewish.

00:33:16.120 So the thing is, is that the new right, like when I talk about the current right, the problem with why I don't think capitalism bad is going to work that well for them is very skeptical of capitalism.

00:33:25.660 I, you know, look at, look at the leading figures in the new right, right?

00:33:29.860 You know, you've got people like Curtis Yarvin, fan of the show, been on the show.

00:33:33.760 He's like a monarchist, man.

00:33:35.440 Like you look at us.

00:33:36.980 We had an episode this weekend for our Patreon fans where we went deeper on this, where I argue that I'm not, as, as like a staunch historic pro-capitalist, I am not sure that capitalism works in the face of AI systems.

00:33:49.340 Like I'm, I am not sure that capitalism can continue to function as it has historically, right?

00:33:57.820 Yeah, but there's a difference between, I don't know if this economic system is sustainable.

00:34:02.740 We need to rethink these things fundamentally and eat the rich.

00:34:06.520 All right?

00:34:06.960 There's a really big difference.

00:34:08.620 And it again comes down to the difference between having an internal locus of control and an external locus of control.

00:34:15.020 And the new rights approach to capitalism not being sustainable is we need to rethink these systems.

00:34:22.700 How do we, what, what are the evidence-based approaches we can take?

00:34:25.180 Whereas the left's approach to this system is these rich people need to give us their money and I don't want to work anymore.

00:34:33.900 And that's just how.

00:34:35.880 Well, I think, I think it's going to be a little different from the direction you think.

00:34:39.700 So there is a leftist academic narrative, I guess I'd call it.

00:34:44.500 Okay.

00:34:45.020 And I can see that.

00:34:46.160 So if you read Greta Thornburg's, because I, for a long time have been very confused in attempting to model and understand how leftists support a group like, you know, like they think that they have much more in common with the Gazans than the blacks who are being killed in Africa.

00:35:01.340 And I'm like, why? 0.96

00:35:02.440 Like this group hates gay people. 0.97

00:35:04.540 You know, you literally go to jail for 10 years in Gaza for being gay, right? 0.99

00:35:08.020 Like it, it, it does not like black people. 1.00

00:35:10.700 It does not like any of the other things that they say they care about.

00:35:13.140 And so I'm trying to understand why, Octavian, please close the door. 0.74

00:35:18.280 It's really important.

00:35:20.680 Why they are doing all of this.

00:35:23.080 And the best answer I can come to when I read her stuff is it's, we'll say like, well, it's the global colonialist project sort of thing that they talk about.

00:35:34.940 They'll use words like colonialist or whatever to talk about some sort of like a globalized system that needs to be undone, which is also sometimes talked about under the term patriarchy or is talked about under like they've moved from using the term patriarchy to using the term like global colonialists or something, you know.

00:35:54.300 And they're basically this sort of conspiracy theory around the idea that there are sort of societal forces working together to create this larger architecture that is like inherently oppressive and is upstream of all of the environmental problems that we have.

00:36:14.280 All of the systematic inequality that we have, all of the everything that we have, right?

00:36:20.240 So I think fighting the system is where they're moving next, which is interesting because it's not dissimilar to what our faction of the right sees ourself as doing.

00:36:31.420 Is fighting the, what we see as a colonialist system, i.e. the system of the urban monoculture, the system represented by the, the, you know, progress pride flag, as we call it the colonizer flag.

00:36:42.680 Buddy, have you finished your learning exercises?

00:36:45.180 Yeah, I think.

00:36:46.200 I don't think so.

00:36:47.800 Can you finish?

00:36:48.540 And then we'll start at four to play with Toasty and Titan and Indy.

00:36:51.460 Oh, I actually did carpeting what made me pretty smart.

00:36:57.280 It made you smart?

00:36:58.280 Yeah.

00:36:58.860 Okay, now go do some math exercises.

00:37:00.400 Thank you, but don't, yeah.

00:37:02.120 So I think that they're moving to this, like, wider conspiracy theory, fight the power narrative, which is not bad, but it's also very similar to what we're doing, as I pointed out there.

00:37:11.360 And I think it's, it, the difference is that we are fighting, like, a real power that, like, actually has institutional power, and they are fighting something that was sort of invented, almost like a religion in the halls of academia.

00:37:22.640 I think what they're going to become in this way is more dedicated to the religion of the left, rather than actual areas of concern.

00:37:31.240 Esoteric monks counting angels on the heads of pins.

00:37:34.080 I don't know.

00:37:35.880 I don't know.

00:37:36.640 I don't know.

00:37:37.360 I don't think so.

00:37:38.640 No.

00:37:38.900 I think it's going to be about actively trying to socialize various aspects of government in a way that is detrimental and that's going to increase our burn and our acceleration toward the tipping point of dependency ratio cascades, whereby we have more people who are net drains on the state than contributors, which is only going to accelerate our progress toward monarchy.

00:37:59.640 So I think, ultimately, in the end, this peace between Israel and Gaza is going to be the accelerant that drives us even more quickly toward Curtis Yarvin's monarchy. 0.88

00:38:12.500 I love you so much, Sven.

00:38:14.160 I had a bunch more.

00:38:14.820 I was going to talk about the specifics of the peace plan, which I think is interesting.

00:38:18.840 Basically, well, I'll just briefly talk about it.

00:38:20.700 So how this happened was Trump worked really hard with Erdogan to put pressure and then worked to get Iran to put pressure on Hamas to accept the deal because they, again, it's enormous that he got them to do this.

00:38:33.800 Yeah.

00:38:33.980 They're not going to take it from us.

00:38:35.680 Right.

00:38:36.320 And now a pan-Arab sort of group is going to be running a non-Hamas government in the region.

00:38:45.100 Like they're not giving it back to the people there.

00:38:46.900 They're like, that didn't work.

00:38:48.040 So we'll have like a pan-Arab state there, which is probably the most realistic thing that could have been agreed to.

00:38:55.140 You know, it's not under Israel's control, to put it that way.

00:38:58.620 Hamas is staying armed.

00:39:00.180 They're not giving up their arms.

00:39:01.420 And Israel is continuing some cleanup operations like destroying tunnels.

00:39:05.200 Hamas is going to see their primary job here, as many of their supporters did, is sharing fake videos of Israel attacking after the – they were older videos after the ceasefire.

00:39:16.100 But they're going to do everything they can to try to antagonize Israel into some sort of large-scale response or even small-scale responses. 0.63

00:39:23.620 We're going to see a few of those.

00:39:25.160 That's obviously going to happen.

00:39:26.520 But it won't escalate beyond that.

00:39:29.340 There's no reason to, as I said.

00:39:31.140 Like Israel benefits from not having this escalate.

00:39:36.400 The people of Gaza benefit from not having this escalate.

00:39:38.800 The only group that really wants this to escalate again is Hamas. 0.54

00:39:43.280 And the problem is, is that Hamas has lost a lot of their backing because Iran got their teeth kicked in pretty severely.

00:39:51.940 Hezbollah got their teeth kicked in pretty severely.

00:39:55.120 The people who would have funded them and would have seen this as a good thing just don't have the money or motivation to go ahead with this anymore.

00:40:01.820 And so the whole situation has been sort of bled dry to an extent, and there's not a lot of chance.

00:40:08.840 They just didn't get what they wanted out of it, right?

00:40:10.740 Like nobody who funded this to begin with, other than the killings of Jews, did they get what they wanted. 0.81

00:40:18.500 And so I just don't understand why anyone would think that it would reignite, right?

00:40:24.640 They're going to get enough people to reignite this.

00:40:27.740 They're just too tired.

00:40:29.140 Well, also one of the reasons it started, it wasn't as bad as it was, is Israel had become incredibly complacent about that wall and that border.

00:40:38.920 And that allowed for, you know, if they shot down all the gliders on day one, if they had shot down everybody who was running over on day one, this wouldn't have happened, right?

00:40:47.880 And so if they increase the security there, which I am certain they're going to, and are much more vigilant about it, you don't get anyone running over.

00:40:55.860 They just get shot the moment they cross the wall, and that's it.

00:40:59.140 And it's possible to make a much more secure wall than they had.

00:41:02.340 That was, if you look at pictures of the old wall, it just was not that secure.

00:41:05.720 And I just don't see that happening again.

00:41:08.380 Yeah.

00:41:09.620 Thanks for bringing me up.

00:41:10.580 Good day to the world.

00:41:11.500 Yeah.

00:41:13.080 Oh, thank goodness.

00:41:15.520 But oh, so tough for the left.

00:41:18.060 Trump ending so many wars.

00:41:19.600 Is this number seven or number eight?

00:41:23.220 I don't know.

00:41:24.140 I mean, he's literally now almost certainly saved more lives than any president in living history.

00:41:32.200 Can't tell anyone that.

00:41:33.440 Oh my God.

00:41:33.980 If he ends up somehow ending the Russia-Ukraine war as well, people are going to lose their minds.

00:41:40.640 What's so wild, though, to me is that he also cares, it seems, on a much more visceral level than other presidents.

00:41:50.460 Other presidents are a lot more cerebral about things like war.

00:41:53.180 And Trump really feels it.

00:41:57.000 Like, he gets emotional about it.

00:41:58.860 He does not like seeing the death and the people and the pain and the suffering.

00:42:04.740 Like, it really, really gets to him.

00:42:06.260 And this shows up in people who, you know, written about their experiences working with him.

00:42:10.840 It's not something that shows up in his press conferences or in the media.

00:42:14.880 Like, this is something that shows up behind closed doors.

00:42:17.480 Absolutely.

00:42:17.920 Well, I think it's something that you can deduce from looking at his actions.

00:42:21.740 So a lot of people think the reason he wants to end the Russia-Ukraine war is because he's pro-Russia.

00:42:26.840 But you see that when Putin doesn't play ball with him, he'll go on long screeds.

00:42:33.020 He'll say stuff about Putin that Biden and Harris would never say about Putin.

00:42:39.040 Well, you can see the same thing in his domestic policy as well.

00:42:41.840 When people die really sad, really unfair deaths, it hits him with a grief bone.

00:42:47.640 And I think that's also just so notable is that he has ended as many wars and conflicts as he has and that he really cares in a way that I think most politicians and statesmen would consider to be deeply unprofessional, which is kind of sick.

00:43:05.600 And it's funny because this is – you talked about how one of your politician family members had talked about the frustrating thing about being a politician being that both the good things about you and the bad things about you that people say aren't even accurate.

00:43:18.020 And I think one of the good things about Trump that no one says is a good thing about him is the fact that he does actually deeply care about human suffering.

00:43:27.240 People do say it when they spend time with him.

00:43:28.860 Even, like, progressives who hate him say it.

00:43:30.620 They're like, he seems to be –

00:43:32.020 I don't hear it.

00:43:32.220 They – I've heard it as, like, it's almost, like, a childish hatred of seeing, like, kids dying and stuff and just being, like, I have to stop this.

00:43:41.400 And you see it in his frustration with Putin.

00:43:43.480 Like, when Putin, you know, didn't make the deal happen.

00:43:46.960 And Zelensky.

00:43:47.580 Both of them.

00:43:48.160 He's like –

00:43:48.800 He's like, why?

00:43:50.080 He wants to take a hose and hose down the cat fight and he can't and it gets him very angry.

00:43:54.820 Well, no, but he also has this exasperation of, like, do you not understand people are dying?

00:44:00.600 Like, why won't you stop this?

00:44:03.200 And pretty much every statesman and politician has somehow, like, trained themselves to kind of abstract themselves from it in a way that Trump just never did.

00:44:12.300 Because I think he never really saw himself as that kind of person.

00:44:14.940 He never saw himself as, like, these are pieces on my chessboard.

00:44:18.640 These are soldiers on my map.

00:44:20.540 No.

00:44:21.640 That's just not how he works.

00:44:23.140 Because I think maybe a lot of it comes down to his insecurity.

00:44:25.740 You know, these are all people who like me and have opinions about me.

00:44:28.100 And he models people differently as someone from the media, as someone who cares about the feelings of other people because those depend – those determine his validation.

00:44:37.000 I don't know.

00:44:37.260 I disagree because when he cares about people dying in Russia and Ukraine, the interesting thing is that he seems to care about people dying on both sides.

00:44:44.140 He does.

00:44:44.340 But my point is perhaps this is a result of him being a media figure and media figures needing to model people's feelings more than, like, abstract, like, physics modeling, which I think is more what statesmen look at and politicians look at.

00:45:00.300 It's more like, where are the numbers, where are the headwinds, where are the tailwinds, whereas if you are a media mogul, and even if you're a real estate mogul, both of these domains of his, a lot of it really has to do more with sentiment than with tailwinds and headwinds and logistical geopolitical forces.

00:45:19.000 Anyway, though, thank you for this very interesting conversation.

00:45:22.240 Have a great day, and it's a good day for the world, and it's going to be very interesting to see where the progressive movement goes after this, because I just don't know.

00:45:28.580 I think I do.

00:45:29.500 We'll see.

00:45:29.980 You can't be anti-Semitic.

00:45:31.320 What's next?

00:45:32.240 Well, anti-capitalism is anti-Semitism.

00:45:34.660 You can have your cake and eat it, too.

00:45:36.780 We'll see.

00:45:42.940 There we go.

00:45:45.200 I feel like such a zombie right now, but then I checked to see how much I actually slept last night.

00:45:52.600 And it was two and a half hours, so I'm like, okay, I'm allowed to not function today.

00:46:01.380 How am I coming through, by the way?

00:46:03.220 Good, and I really like the mic.

00:46:05.900 I mean, the mic stand.

00:46:07.700 The mic stand, yeah.

00:46:08.600 It's much better.

00:46:09.380 Yeah.

00:46:09.920 You have taken the feedback of the people who do not want you to jostle your mic.

00:46:13.560 They say both of you need to use Simone's camera.

00:46:15.380 Little do they know.

00:46:15.940 I'm pretty sure we're using the same camera right now.

00:46:17.580 We are using the same camera.

00:46:18.740 I think it just responds really sensitively to light, but you're well lit today, so it works out.

00:46:25.800 Oh, anything else?

00:46:26.960 How were people responding to the episode?

00:46:29.700 They liked it.

00:46:30.640 I was surprised to see the number of people who on today's episode about Chinese social media censorship chimed in to talk about Friday's Minecraft cult episode.

00:46:43.340 Oh, really?

00:46:43.740 Yeah, they were like, well, I couldn't watch it because it's too dark, but also, that's useful information.

00:46:51.580 But also, I didn't want to watch it because I come here for just perennatalist stuff, and I don't know why so many people wanted to comment on last Friday's episode on Monday.

00:47:01.160 Because I think we talked about it, and we were talking about why the numbers were so low.

00:47:03.900 So, we were very confused by the low numbers on the – it's because our fans aren't true crime fanatics like myself.

00:47:12.220 True connoisseur.

00:47:14.660 People always wonder what I'm drinking, when I'm drinking the new thing.

00:47:17.040 I don't drink alcohol on stream that much anymore, so this is lemonade.

00:47:21.000 And the other one that people thought was bourbon was apple cider.

00:47:23.760 Non-alcoholic apple cider.

00:47:25.980 Anyway, I will get started.

00:47:27.740 And people can tell me if they think I'm not as good when I'm not drinking.

00:47:30.560 You know what I mean?

00:47:31.040 They're like, your stuff was so much better when you –

00:47:32.780 I don't know if Coors Light counts as alcohol even.

00:47:35.940 Yeah.

00:47:36.280 I feel like it's a sports drink.

00:47:38.080 I always invite people over, and I have the dad joke of, we got some beers for people who want to drink and some Coors Light for people who don't.

00:47:45.680 Anyway, so, I'll get started.

00:47:47.640 I'll get started.

00:48:17.640 I'll get started.

00:48:47.640 I'll get started.

00:49:17.640 With golden chandeliers in every home.

00:49:23.520 Peace talks on the 18th hole.

00:49:28.340 Diplomacy with a golfing soul.

00:49:32.680 Gaza's the new Riviera. 0.98

00:49:35.820 Oh, what a sight.

00:49:37.460 Gold towers shining day and night.

00:49:43.340 Gold courses stretching far and wide.

00:49:47.420 Trump's dreamland by the seaside.

00:49:51.440 So, here's to Gaza, a brand new face.

00:49:57.320 In Trump's world where golden dreams blaze.

00:50:01.880 A Riviera shining, a sight to see.

00:50:06.960 Where golf and grandeur make history.

00:50:11.560 Oh, bye.

00:50:17.440 I'm out.

00:50:18.260 See you.

00:50:18.800 Bye-bye.

00:50:19.160 See you.

00:50:19.740 See you.

00:50:21.140 See you.

00:50:21.360 Bye-bye.

00:50:21.500 See you next time.

00:50:21.780 Bye-bye.

00:50:23.280 Bye-bye.

00:50:23.760 Thank you.

00:50:24.080 Bye-bye.
