=== Iran Attack Evidence (14:59) ===

[00:00:00]  Fill her up.
[00:00:02]  You are listening to the Gash Digital Network.
[00:00:07]  We need to roll back the state.
[00:00:09]  We spy on all of our own citizens.
[00:00:11]  Our prisons are flooded with nonviolent drug offenders.
[00:00:15]  If you want to know who America's next enemy is, look at who we're funding right now.
[00:00:20]  Every single one of these problems are a result of government being way too big.
[00:00:32]  What's up?
[00:00:34]  What's up?
[00:00:35]  And welcome to a brand new episode of Part of the Problem.
[00:00:38]  I'm Dave Smith.
[00:00:40]  He is Robbie the Fire Bernstein, the king of the cocks.
[00:00:43]  What's up, brother?
[00:00:44]  Oh, man.
[00:00:45]  I'm enjoying my week.
[00:00:46]  Been working hard.
[00:00:47]  Been hustling.
[00:00:47]  Getting after it.
[00:00:48]  Very good.
[00:00:49]  Hell yeah.
[00:00:49]  It's the new year, so you know, for a full week, you kind of...
[00:00:52]  You give it all you got.
[00:00:53]  Yeah.
[00:00:54]  Yeah, this is probably, it's been like the healthiest week in America, probably.
[00:00:59]  So many people fucking dieting and fucking exercising.
[00:01:02]  And then, you know, what is it today?
[00:01:04]  What's the date?
[00:01:05]  It's the fucking, what is it?
[00:01:07]  The 9th?
[00:01:08]  It's the 10th.
[00:01:09]  So it's the 10th.
[00:01:11]  Yeah, people have given up already.
[00:01:12]  Also, one of my big ones, I was like, I got to start actually eating healthier and cooking food because I spent so much of my income on lunch.
[00:01:19]  But now they opened up a Trader Joe's not far from here.
[00:01:22]  So that's out.
[00:01:22]  I'm just, I'm going to become a Trader Joe's shopper.
[00:01:25]  Trader Joe's, fucking good prices.
[00:01:26]  You can't beat Trader Joe's.
[00:01:28]  Trader Joe's, man.
[00:01:29]  You fucking, I do a lot of shopping there.
[00:01:31]  You fucking fill up a whole goddamn cart.
[00:01:33]  It costs you what like three items at Whole Foods cost you.
[00:01:37]  Like it's fucking, it's insane.
[00:01:39]  And they don't pound it with like bullshit ingredients.
[00:01:41]  Like you can kind of trust the traditional.
[00:01:42]  No, it's relatively, it's relatively fine.
[00:01:45]  Yeah.
[00:01:45]  No, I get a lot of shit at Trader Joe's.
[00:01:47]  Now where I live in the Upper West Side, all the other supermarkets are like crazy expensive.
[00:01:52]  They're good, but they're crazy expensive.
[00:01:54]  For a while, the only one that existed was in Union Square, at least in this area.
[00:01:58]  And you went there and it was so packed, it felt like it was the only food left on the island.
[00:02:03]  Well, shopping, grocery shopping is like just brutal in New York City in general.
[00:02:08]  It's just the worst.
[00:02:09]  If you go to a grocery store like outside New York City and you're like, oh my God, this is like how civilized people live.
[00:02:15]  It's just like relaxed, huge space, aisles, you know, you're like not that many people.
[00:02:20]  In New York, it's like the real estate is crazy expensive and it's crazy populated.
[00:02:25]  So there are these tiny supermarkets just crammed with people and people lose their fucking minds.
[00:02:30]  Like I go in a fairway on the fucking Upper West Side and it's like these fucking nice Upper West Side professionals and they're like fucking cutting you off and like all this.
[00:02:40]  I'm like there with my daughter, like a one-year-old girl.
[00:02:42]  And they're like darting in front of you and you're like, hey, fucking psychologist lady, watch it.
[00:02:49]  And then they get right back out on the street.
[00:02:50]  They're good civilized people again.
[00:02:52]  There's something about those markets when you're around food trying to get it back home.
[00:02:55]  No, I mean, they're, you know, they're in there.
[00:02:57]  They're savages.
[00:02:58]  Outside, they're decent people.
[00:02:59]  Sure, they probably vote Democrat for the most part, but nobody's perfect.
[00:03:04]  Poe Buddy's nerfed.
[00:03:05]  All right.
[00:03:07]  So for today's episode, I'm going to take some fan questions.
[00:03:10]  I figure we haven't done that in a little bit, and it's a little bit of a slowdown after all this craziness in the news over the last week or so.
[00:03:18]  But I did want to just give a few thoughts on the situation with Iran, which seems to at least for the moment have potentially calmed down.
[00:03:31]  We'll see.
[00:03:32]  I feel, you know, I'm going to say this and then an hour after we record the episode, it'll be like, Iran killed 12 U.S. people got all stunk up about that.
[00:03:40]  Oh, it happens.
[00:03:41]  Which, by the way, don't we stream this live for free?

[00:04:16]  You know, it's a good time.
[00:04:18]  I don't want you to have to wait 24 hours to get the news from us.
[00:04:22]  That's not what I'm looking for.
[00:04:23]  No, of course not.
[00:04:24]  But look, it is rare.
[00:04:26]  But in the game that we're in, sometimes there's a development happens, you know, an hour after you finish the podcast, and all of a sudden it looks like we might be going to war.
[00:04:34]  And then we're not.
[00:04:35]  By the way, it's not, you know, we are at war with Iran.
[00:04:43]  I mean, it's just kind of been a question of how far this thing is going to escalate and how, you know, I mean, well, you're killing top members of their government and they're sending, you know, fucking missiles at your base.
[00:04:56]  That's, I mean, that's a war.
[00:04:57]  It's just they're both acts of war.
[00:05:00]  The sanction regime is an act of war, like all this stuff.
[00:05:03]  It's just a matter of how far it goes.
[00:05:04]  I did mention briefly on the last episode with Peter Schiff that I and I'll just reiterate it again, that I did think, all things considered, you know, grading on a curve that Trump did pretty well in his speech that he delivered about Iran.
[00:05:24]  It was as far as the realm of what could have happened, I thought it was pretty good that he basically seemed to indicate, okay, Iran did that.
[00:05:36]  That's it.
[00:05:38]  And, you know, we're still willing to talk to them.
[00:05:42]  You know, there was a lot of political bullshit in there about blaming Obama for the deal and, you know, blaming Iran for the stuff in Yemen, which is just, you know, craziness.
[00:05:52]  But overall, at least he wasn't like, he didn't seem to be, you know, pounding his chest and threatening.
[00:06:01]  And he doesn't seem to be responding more, which is good.
[00:06:06]  And also, I mean, look, you got to give a little bit of credit to Iran, who certainly could have done something to escalate tensions further.
[00:06:16]  It seems more and more that what they did was very precise and intentionally not killing any Americans and that they intentionally wanted to kind of be like, look, we have to do something to save face and say that we responded.
[00:06:34]  And also it sent a message that, look, we can target U.S. military personnel in the region quite easily.
[00:06:42]  And that, you know, it kind of lets you know, like, if there is a war, you are going to suffer a lot of losses.
[00:06:47]  Now, Iran can't really target us here, but they certainly can target us all over the region.
[00:06:54]  And it would be, you know, that's part of the reason why that might be a good deterrent to not get involved in the war.
[00:07:02]  The thing that's that I thought was interesting recently, and it is fucking weird, the dynamic where just because like the Democrats in general will oppose Donald Trump no matter what he's doing.
[00:07:20]  No matter what Donald Trump does, they'll oppose him.
[00:07:24]  Like if Donald Trump curing cancer, how dare he?
[00:07:27]  Yes, exactly.
[00:07:29]  How does curing cancer benefit Putin?
[00:07:31]  You know, the fucking thehill.com articles would read.
[00:07:35]  But like no matter what it is, he could save a puppy from a burning building and they would be like, he should be doing his job.
[00:07:41]  He's out there in the burning building.
[00:07:43]  And what, what, you know, was that puppy working for Russia or whatever.
[00:07:46]  Like there'd always be something.
[00:07:49]  And so, of course, I'm sure part of that is why they opposed him taking out this Salamani guy.
[00:07:56]  But, You know, if you're always opposing somebody, you're not always going to be wrong when he does something wrong.
[00:08:03]  You'll probably end up on the right side of that issue.
[00:08:05]  And it's so basically what Donald Trump is claiming is that there was an imminent attack being planned.
[00:08:17]  That's why this guy was in Iraq to begin with.
[00:08:21]  Now, on the other hand, there's been reports and now the Iraqi government has come out and said that Salamani was actually on a peacekeeping mission.
[00:08:33]  That was the point of being there.
[00:08:35]  I don't know.
[00:08:35]  I don't know if that's fucking true or not.
[00:08:37]  I don't know if you can completely trust the Shiite Iraqi government.
[00:08:41]  You know, they're probably going to side with the Shiite Iranians.
[00:08:46]  But that's not really the question at hand.
[00:08:51]  The question is, what evidence do we actually have that there was an attack being planned?
[00:08:59]  And what, as always with these situations, it's reported throughout the corporate press as a fact.
[00:09:06]  We know that he was there to plan further attacks against Americans.
[00:09:11]  And the evidence that's been produced, that's been given to the public, has been precisely zero.
[00:09:18]  There's no evidence.
[00:09:19]  We don't get to know what that is.
[00:09:22]  Now, you would think, like with a lot of these things, like, what is the possible reason for not showing us what you know?
[00:09:29]  I mean, if you know that they were planning this attack, okay, well, how do you know that?
[00:09:34]  So show us what you know.
[00:09:35]  I mean, the guy's dead now, right?
[00:09:37]  The attacks are thwarted.
[00:09:38]  That's what you're using as the justification for this.
[00:09:40]  So show us the plans for this thwarted.
[00:09:43]  None of that.
[00:09:43]  Now, the intelligence community went and briefed Congress about this.
[00:09:51]  And the Democrats were out there and they were like, they've given us no evidence.
[00:09:54]  They're just telling us that they knew this.
[00:09:56]  They're not giving us.
[00:09:57]  So even Congress is saying they didn't get any evidence shown to them.
[00:10:02]  And then the response of this has been the intelligence, unnamed intelligence sources leaking to the media that the reason they're not giving the evidence is that they don't trust that the Democrats wouldn't share them with our enemies.
[00:10:16]  And so this has been playing on Fox News all day long.
[00:10:19]  And it feeds, it's kind of brilliant in a way because it feeds right into the Republican narrative to get them on Trump's side.
[00:10:25]  They're like, yeah, of course we can't trust Rashida Talib.
[00:10:28]  She's goddamn Muslim and she'd go give all the other Muslims this evidence or whatever, any of this shit.
[00:10:33]  And like, believe me, I get wanting to hate the fucking squad and all that shit.
[00:10:39]  But like, no, I'm sorry.
[00:10:41]  That's fucking bullshit.
[00:10:43]  Like, that's bullshit that you're going to not give show Congress the evidence of what attack was being planned.
[00:10:51]  And now they also, like, the American people have to just take your word for it.
[00:10:55]  Even though you lied about Iraq, even though you lied about Libya, even though you lied about Syria, you lied about Yemen.
[00:11:00]  You've lied about Iran for 30 years.
[00:11:02]  You lied about Donald Trump being an agent of Vladimir Putin.
[00:11:06]  You know, the list goes on and on.
[00:11:08]  But somehow we just have to take your word.
[00:11:10]  It's like, no, I'm sorry.
[00:11:12]  That's not good enough.
[00:11:13]  I'm going to need to see some receipts.
[00:11:16]  So that's, you know, I just, I'm, not only am I like not convinced, I'm just going in with the belief that they're lying.
[00:11:26]  I just don't, I don't buy it.
[00:11:27]  I don't buy it for a fucking second.
[00:11:29]  And again, you know, it's like some people, I saw a couple people, you know, because it's really, I mean, I've seen not only so many of the like right-wingers, Trump supporters who have been, in my opinion, at least a lot of them, a lot better than left-wingers over the last few years.
[00:11:52]  They're certainly much more open to hearing what I have to say.
[00:11:56]  So maybe that makes me biased.
[00:11:58]  But on a lot of these issues, they've been much more skeptical of the American empire, much more skeptical of fighting all these wars in the Middle East and much, much, much more skeptical of the deep state, which, you know, is really kind of the most important shit to be right on.
[00:12:16]  So that they've been kind of open to a lot of these arguments.
[00:12:20]  And then I've seen so many of them just be terrible on this Iran issue.
[00:12:25]  And even more than that, I've seen a lot of libertarians terrible on this Iran issue.
[00:12:29]  Like I saw a couple libertarians were giving me shit about, you know, they're like, oh, well, Dave, you know, you're talking about this whole situation with Iran, but you're not addressing that this guy was a terrorist.
[00:12:41]  I mean, look at all these attacks that he's been involved in.
[00:12:44]  And I actually did address this on the podcast a few episodes ago.
[00:12:49]  But again, it's not, I'm not saying that Iran has not funded any Shiites or had anything to do with Hezbollah or even not as strong a relationship, but nothing to do with the Houthis in Yemen or anything like that, or even funding, you know, some of the Shiite militias in Iraq.
[00:13:08]  It's like, sure, they do.
[00:13:10]  But it's just funny that here's basically my argument.
[00:13:14]  I'm not saying like they're not terrorists.
[00:13:17]  I'm just saying, and this is always my point when it comes to American foreign policy.
[00:13:22]  It's just like, give me your definition, give me your moral standard, and then apply it to both sides.
[00:13:28]  Like, I don't believe in this book.
[00:13:30]  Like, let me say it this way.
[00:13:32]  Let's say I was a Russian during the reign of Stalin.
[00:13:42]  Am I supposed to just be on Stalin's side because I'm a Russian citizen?
[00:13:47]  Or should I be like, this guy's fucking evil and I hope he gets overthrown?
[00:13:51]  The same way, just because I'm an American, am I supposed to be on America's side?
[00:13:55]  If there's a conflict between the American government and the Iranian government, I'm just saying, look at the conflict, see who the aggressor is.
[00:14:04]  So if you're saying this guy's a terrorist, it's like, okay, what's your definition of terrorism?
[00:14:08]  You explain to me, give me the definition of terrorism.
[00:14:11]  Now, because most of the time, the way it works is if you're not a state actor who kills innocent people for political reasons or for political motivations, then you're considered a terrorist.
[00:14:25]  But if you're a government that kills, like if you're a military that kills innocent people for political reasons, that's not really considered terrorism because that's just kind of the nature of governments.
[00:14:37]  But this guy was a member of a government and the head of their military, or at least part of their military.
[00:14:45]  Excuse me.
[00:14:47]  So if you're saying he's a terrorist, okay.
[00:14:51]  Well, what's your definition?
[00:14:52]  Is it because he killed people that, you know, for political reasons or for with political motivations?

=== Cowboy Cerrone Bonus Cash (06:41) ===

[00:14:59]  Okay, fine.
[00:15:01]  But then you got to run, you got to put that same standard to General David Petraeus, to fucking the entire U.S. military.
[00:15:08]  All right.
[00:15:09]  Same standard with them.
[00:15:11]  And then say, who's worse?
[00:15:12]  Who's a worse terrorist?
[00:15:13]  Who's killed more innocent people with political motivations?
[00:15:17]  And just because some fucking Democrats or some Republicans decided they want regime change, I don't think that just is like, oh, well, now it's magically okay to kill innocent people.
[00:15:28]  Now it's fine.
[00:15:30]  Like, by the way, if you're talking about him targeting American military members in the Middle East, it's like, yes, sure, there is some of that.
[00:15:42]  Not as much as they fucking claim, but I'm sure there is some of that.
[00:15:45]  But like, look, man, I don't want to see anybody get killed.
[00:15:52]  I certainly don't want to see American military members get killed.
[00:15:56]  The truth is, you know, active duty military, right?
[00:15:59]  They always gave the most money to Ron Paul.
[00:16:01]  And like by far, like they gave more money to Ron Paul than every other candidate combined in 2012.
[00:16:07]  So I don't want to see any of these guys get killed.
[00:16:09]  I think a lot of them are good potential libertarian recruits, you know?
[00:16:14]  But if you're going to go around calling someone a terrorist, like if a fucking army invades a country and somebody starts fighting that army who invaded the country, it's pretty fucking weird and just absurd to sit back and say the people who fight target that army are terrorists while not judging morally the invasion of a sovereign country.
[00:16:44]  I don't know.
[00:16:45]  That's just what seems logical to me.
[00:16:48]  Somebody invades a country.
[00:16:49]  Believe me, if another country, another country's military invaded America, killing hundreds of thousands of people and fucking destroying the country and all this shit, and people started targeting their military, they wouldn't think of them as terrorists.
[00:17:03]  I mean, fuck, we were part of the British Empire.
[00:17:08]  And when the fucking Redcoats invaded here, I don't think too many people were looking at George Washington and his army as if they were fucking terrorists because they were targeting soldiers.
[00:17:20]  And they were cheap fighters.
[00:17:21]  They were supposed to like line up and then shoot and then they shoot and then they shoot.
[00:17:24]  And these fucking Brits were like, what are you doing?
[00:17:26]  We're supposed to break for tea time.
[00:17:28]  And you're shooting at me.
[00:17:31]  It's just unseemly.
[00:17:32]  Yeah, we were fucking cheap as all hell.
[00:17:34]  Yeah, we sure were.
[00:17:35]  Sure were.
[00:17:36]  Anyway, so that's just kind of my thoughts on the latest of the situation.
[00:17:46]  We'll see what happens.
[00:17:48]  Hopefully this doesn't escalate anymore.
[00:17:51]  All right, let's take a quick break and thank our sponsors for today's show, which is betdsi.com.

[00:18:22]  We got a big, big, big UFC event coming up next weekend.
[00:18:27]  I believe it's the fastest sellout in UFC history.
[00:18:30]  And of course, it is the return of Kunar McGrue taking on Donald Cowboy Cerrone.
[00:18:38]  Listen, I'm going to make my pick here, and I'm never wrong about these things.
[00:18:40]  So you're going to want to take this right to the bank.
[00:18:43]  I'm telling you right now, Connor's going to come back, and he's going to fucking, he's going to stop Cowboy Cerrone.
[00:18:49]  I think he's going to stop him.
[00:18:51]  I would guess the second round, but I'd say inside three rounds, Connor McGregor, TKO's, Donald Cerrone.
[00:18:58]  Ceroni's tough as fucking nails, great fighter.
[00:19:02]  I just don't think he's going to be able to deal with the boxing of Connor McGregor.
[00:19:07]  I think Connor ends up landing that big left hand.
[00:19:11]  You know, Cowboy Cerrone is a very strong fighter.
[00:19:15]  Not the best head movement.
[00:19:17]  Does not do great against good boxers.
[00:19:20]  Go look at his fight with Nate Diaz.
[00:19:22]  And Conor McGregor has about the same level of boxing as Nate Diaz, but he's got knockout power.
[00:19:30]  And I just don't, I think it's going to be too much for Cowboy Cerrone.

[00:20:50]  And we're taking over the room for the evening, and it's going to be a damn good time.
[00:20:53]  Me, you, BK Chris, telling some jokes.
[00:20:57]  Telling some jokes, hanging out a bit.

[00:21:08]  We'll go have some fun.
[00:21:10]  All right.
[00:21:10]  So I posted in the part of the problem inner circle.
[00:21:12]  I said, I'll answer some of your questions on today's show, what you bitches got.
[00:21:17]  And here's what we got.
[00:21:18]  All right.
[00:21:19]  Ben asks, are you mourning the loss of Neil Pert of Rush as much as I am?
[00:21:26]  Maybe not.
[00:21:27]  I don't know how much you are.
[00:21:28]  So it's hard for me to answer that question.
[00:21:31]  I don't know if it's as much, less, or more, because I'm just not sure.
[00:21:35]  But yeah, Neil Purt, the great drummer for Rush, passed away today.

=== Anarcho Capitalist Defense (10:39) ===

[00:21:40]  Yeah, that's sad.
[00:21:42]  He was very good.
[00:21:44]  And I think a libertarian.
[00:21:46]  Is that true?
[00:21:46]  I might be wrong.
[00:21:47]  I bet you didn't know that.
[00:21:49]  But yeah, but you know, I mean, he lived a pretty good life.
[00:21:52]  You know, if you're a rock star and you fucking you don't die young, I mean, that's you already beat the system.
[00:21:59]  So, you know, or maybe you're not that good at partying.
[00:22:02]  Yeah, really.
[00:22:04]  What the fuck?
[00:22:05]  All right.
[00:22:06]  Working Man's the best Rush song.
[00:22:07]  And they play all the they never play that one on the radio.
[00:22:09]  They always go for, I don't know, Tom Sawyer, those three other ones that they play.
[00:22:15]  But Working Man's the best one.
[00:22:18]  I like Tom Sawyer, though.
[00:22:19]  Tom Sawyer is cool, but it's kind of like Stairway to Heaven, where they've played it on the radio enough times.
[00:22:24]  They're like, I get it.
[00:22:25]  Yeah, no, it's true.
[00:22:27]  Like, Stairway to Heaven is undeniably a great song, but I just never want to hear it.
[00:22:31]  I've just heard it so many times.
[00:22:32]  You're never like, oh, I'd love to hear Stairway to Heaven.
[00:22:34]  Yeah.
[00:22:35]  Anyway, Neil Purt loved his work in Stairway to Heaven.
[00:22:39]  He was great in that song.
[00:22:40]  Yeah, no, that does suck.
[00:22:42]  I believe, I might be wrong about this, but I think he did Tom Wood's show.
[00:22:45]  I might be wrong.
[00:22:46]  That's pretty cool.
[00:22:47]  But I think he did.
[00:22:48]  Okay, Lou asks, if part of the country became ANCAP, what would it look like if when another part of the country or another country like China decided to take over and capistan?
[00:23:06]  Okay, that's an interesting question.
[00:23:08]  So, you know, when you say take over, I assume you mean militarily and invade.
[00:23:16]  We love guns.
[00:23:16]  Good luck.
[00:23:17]  Yeah, well, look, that's no question.
[00:23:20]  I mean, if you wanted to be in anarcho-capitalist society, you'd need to have some type of defense.
[00:23:25]  I don't know where it's written in stone that a defense agency or somebody tasked with defense can only defend you if they're involuntarily funded by taxes.
[00:23:40]  You know what I mean?
[00:23:40]  Like, I think people spend a whole lot of money on defense, defensive things outside of being forced to.
[00:23:51]  And that's why, like, if you go into, you know, if you go into neighborhoods where there's high crime, they usually have like fucking five locks on their doors and fucking, you know, like those gates with the spikes on the top of them and shit like that.
[00:24:02]  So my guess is it would be something people were very concerned with.
[00:24:05]  Now, here's how I would suggest to look at it.
[00:24:10]  Nothing is, I'm not suggesting that it's like written in stone that if you lived in an anarcho-capitalist society, you couldn't be invaded by a foreign state and taken over.
[00:24:23]  But then again, if you live in a society with a government, that doesn't guarantee that you can't be invaded and taken over.
[00:24:29]  Lots of countries with governments have been invaded and taken over.
[00:24:32]  Sometimes the French just skip town and let the Nazis march on in.
[00:24:36]  Or, you know, like the fucking when ISIS invaded Iraq and there was just those uniforms on the ground.
[00:24:43]  So it's not, you know, nothing in life is a guarantee about this.
[00:24:49]  But like, yeah, you would want to have somebody in charge of defending this territory, some group, some type of, you know, private military.
[00:25:02]  But unlike the military we have now, they would actually be accountable to the people that they're supposed to protect.
[00:25:09]  So you would be voluntarily funding this organization.
[00:25:12]  And if they were doing a bad job, well, they're relying on your funding.
[00:25:16]  So this is, you know what I mean?
[00:25:17]  There'd actually be like, just like the same way every business is, they'd actually be somewhat subservient to their customers.
[00:25:27]  Bob Murphy, if you're interested in this topic, Bob Murphy at last year's Mises University gave a whole talk on private defense.
[00:25:34]  And one of the things, of course, we're all kind of like, you know, no one knows exactly what these things would end up looking like.
[00:25:39]  That's the beauty of a market is people find solutions that you can't necessarily anticipate.
[00:25:45]  But one of the points he made was that it was like, well, look, if you're talking about a very advanced society that is an anarcho-capitalist state, so you're talking about, you know, like skyscrapers and wealthy people and all of this.
[00:25:56]  He was like, there's going to be insurance on many of these like big buildings and things like that.
[00:26:02]  And insurance companies are going to be very incentivized to, you know what I mean, protect what they're insuring.
[00:26:08]  And that's, that's one plausible way that these things could work.
[00:26:13]  And of course, as you touched on at the beginning, I mean, my guess is that there's never going to be any libertarian society at all that doesn't have a shit ton of guns.
[00:26:24]  So, you know, it's like that's, I don't know.
[00:26:29]  Put them on.
[00:26:30]  That's probably my best guess.
[00:26:31]  But yeah, it's that those things are very, you know, legitimate questions and interesting concerns.
[00:26:40]  My guess, and this is just my guess, I don't know, but it does seem to me that nuclear-armed countries have been like having nuclear weapons seems to be about the best defense against foreign armies invading that anybody can have.
[00:26:57]  And my guess is that that would probably be involved in an anarcho-capitalist society.
[00:27:05]  What agency would be in charge of that, you know, I don't know.
[00:27:09]  But again, I don't see any reason why this would have to be done by a state rather than any other group of people.
[00:27:19]  So there we go.
[00:27:21]  All right.
[00:27:23]  Oh, Christoph writes, I finally saw one of these posts and I'm drawing a blank.
[00:27:28]  Well, I'm sorry.
[00:27:29]  Hopefully you'll catch it next time.
[00:27:31]  Cody asks, do you consider yourself to be a right winger?
[00:27:36]  Do you believe any society can thrive without a strong culture revolved around family values?
[00:27:46]  Okay, I'll answer your second question first.
[00:27:48]  No, that's a fairly easy one.
[00:27:50]  I do not believe any society can thrive without a strong culture revolving around family values.
[00:27:55]  I mean, you're not going to, you're not going to create strong people without strong families.
[00:28:00]  And that's, you know, I think that's, I mean, to me, this is like, seems very obvious.
[00:28:08]  And if you don't have a society with strong family values, you're going to have a lot of problems.
[00:28:13]  And it's not going to produce strong, you know, people.
[00:28:16]  And you're not going to produce. well-balanced, well-adjusted people, and you're going to have a lot of big problems.
[00:28:22]  Now, as far as do I consider myself a right-winger, I don't know.
[00:28:27]  You know, if you ask a left-winger, I'm definitely a right-winger.
[00:28:32]  If you ask a lot of right-wingers, I'm not.
[00:28:34]  So I don't know.
[00:28:35]  Personally, the way I look at it is I do kind of look at it like the way Walter Block, his third leg of the stool thing.
[00:28:42]  I really do think there's the left, there's the right, and libertarians, and we're kind of our own thing.
[00:28:47]  We have our own like complete worldview that's that's different than just your average left or right winger.
[00:28:56]  It kind of depends on what the definition of a right-winger is because I've seen a few different ones.
[00:29:00]  So if you're, this is how I feel, right?
[00:29:03]  Like if you're do I believe in like, you know, like the idea that there are hierarchical structures and that there's nothing wrong with that.
[00:29:14]  Like, yes, if you, like, I don't believe in, by the literal letter of the word hierarchy, like I don't believe in rulers, but I also think that's not the way the word hierarchy is usually used.
[00:29:25]  It just kind of means like different positions and different ranks.
[00:29:29]  And that I think is part of human nature.
[00:29:34]  I reject egalitarianism, which is a pretty fundamental aspect of the left.
[00:29:42]  So I just don't, you know, so if that puts me on the right, then okay, I guess I'm a right winger.
[00:29:48]  If so I've seen, I've heard a lot of, so and then what would separate me from the right wing is that I do not believe in like valuing tradition just for the sake of tradition.
[00:30:01]  Like just because something's traditional doesn't inherently make it good.
[00:30:06]  I'd say it like this.
[00:30:07]  This is how I look at it, is that there's a lot of people on the left, like I know Noam Chomsky said this before.
[00:30:12]  I think what's his name?
[00:30:13]  The guy who debated Gene Epstein said this at one point too.
[00:30:16]  Not in the debate, but in something else.
[00:30:19]  I'm blanking on his fucking name.
[00:30:20]  What was that Marxist who Gene Epstein debated?
[00:30:24]  Anyway, my apologies to the commie.
[00:30:26]  My apologies to that to that commie.
[00:30:30]  But so they basically say that hierarchies have to be justified in order to exist.
[00:30:38]  So all hierarchies should be torn down unless you can justify them.
[00:30:43]  I would put the burden on the other foot.
[00:30:48]  So if you're going to tear down any hierarchy or any tradition, I think the onus is on you to justify tearing it down.
[00:30:55]  So I'm fine with tearing down hierarchies and traditions, namely, you know, statism.
[00:31:01]  But I think I can justify why I want to do that.
[00:31:04]  If you're just tearing down traditions just for the sake of tearing down traditions, I'm not going to be for that.
[00:31:10]  I don't know if that makes me a right-winger.
[00:31:13]  To me, I see it more as kind of the third leg of the stool thing.
[00:31:17]  Brian, would you mind just grabbing me a water whenever you get a chance?
[00:31:19]  Thank you.
[00:31:20]  Getting a little dry.
[00:31:22]  But I don't know.
[00:31:23]  You know, like, I don't know.
[00:31:24]  Do you consider yourself a right-winger, Ron?
[00:31:26]  No.
[00:31:26]  What would you say?
[00:31:29]  I'm on Team Rob Bernstein.
[00:31:31]  I lean libertarian.
[00:31:32]  I'm the king of the cocks.
[00:31:33]  I lead the whole operations.
[00:31:35]  So, you know, I'm hardcore at this point.
[00:31:37]  Oh, yeah.
[00:31:38]  No, it's true.
[00:31:38]  You are pretty hardcore.
[00:31:40]  You're your own entity.
[00:31:41]  You're your own kingdom.
[00:31:42]  Yeah.
[00:31:42]  But I don't know.
[00:31:43]  I don't know, Cody.
[00:31:44]  I don't know if that's a good answer to your question or not.
[00:31:46]  But I don't really, to be honest, I don't really think about it that often.
[00:31:53]  I'm much more, oh, thank you, brother.
[00:31:55]  Very much appreciated.
[00:31:59]  Ah, New York City heat gets me.
[00:32:04]  I'm, I, you know, I think about like my beliefs and my philosophy, but I don't know.
[00:32:08]  But I also don't like run from it.
[00:32:10]  Like if some left-winger is like, oh, you're a right-winger, it's like, oh, okay, fine.
[00:32:14]  And then I've had some of these hard right-wing guys who are like, you're a left-winger.
[00:32:17]  It's like, oh, okay.
[00:32:19]  I don't know.

=== Blue Chew Online Doctor (02:36) ===

[00:32:20]  I believe what I believe.
[00:32:21]  So put me wherever on the spectrum you think that fits.
[00:32:25]  Okay.
[00:32:26]  Lars asks, is the fire a tits or ass man?
[00:32:31]  That one's over to you.
[00:32:33]  I'm going to go ask.
[00:32:35]  I was going to go ask, but he'll take what he can catch.
[00:32:37]  That's true.
[00:32:37]  Yeah.
[00:32:38]  You know, I don't discriminate as long as you got something that's working for me.
[00:32:42]  I like thin more than anything.
[00:32:43]  I like a good exposed rib.
[00:32:44]  That's like, that's my jam right there.
[00:32:46]  Exposed rib.
[00:32:47]  Yeah, I don't know that extreme, but I like a lean lady.
[00:32:50]  But I'll work with anything.
[00:32:51]  You kidding me?
[00:32:51]  Sometimes I've been with some big old floppy tits and gotten into it before, even though they were big old bottom.
[00:32:57]  Also, sometimes like when people say assmen, like they're like describing like these big ass, like I don't like a big ass.
[00:33:01]  I'm like a thin lady with like a tucked in ass kind of thing.
[00:33:05]  Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.
[00:33:06]  Tucked in.
[00:33:06]  I don't know if that, but I think I get what you're saying, more or less.
[00:33:09]  I like what you go.
[00:33:10]  I like a thin lady.
[00:33:11]  You're like, basically, Rob's type is not fat chicks.
[00:33:15]  No, but I'm like, I'm okay with if you're like an A or B cup, but you're like, you're more lean.
[00:33:20]  Like big tits are great, but they're not crucial.
[00:33:22]  It's just a nice face.
[00:33:23]  I like a pretty lady.
[00:33:24]  That's all I really care about with a kind heart.

[00:34:54]  Yeah, we got some characters in this group.

=== Holocaust Net Worth Debate (11:41) ===

[00:34:56]  You know, I don't know.
[00:34:59]  I don't believe that like people are tops all the time or bottoms all the time.
[00:35:03]  No, I think that's actually the way they operate, but like that doesn't make sense to me.
[00:35:06]  I feel like if I was gay, I'd want to be on the bottom sometimes.
[00:35:08]  I wouldn't be on the top sometimes.
[00:35:10]  Like you mix it up.
[00:35:10]  Or like sometimes you're in a relationship where you're the bottom.
[00:35:13]  And then sometimes you're like, all right, I just got out of being a bottom.
[00:35:16]  Now I want to go be a top for a little bit.
[00:35:18]  But I don't think they do it that way.
[00:35:20]  Does this is this fucked up to say?
[00:35:22]  All right, it probably is if I have to ask myself that question.
[00:35:24]  But truthfully, and I've always kind of had this feeling with gay dudes.
[00:35:29]  I know it's wrong, but like, I don't even mean morally wrong.
[00:35:33]  I just mean I know this is incorrect.
[00:35:35]  But it's almost like I never believe in it.
[00:35:40]  Like, I don't actually believe you're banging another dude.
[00:35:44]  You know what I mean?
[00:35:45]  Like, I remember these two gay guys that I knew, and I knew they were gay for a long time, but I'd like known them for years before I saw them kiss once.
[00:35:56]  And it was almost like the feeling I had when they kissed was like, oh, you guys really do that stuff, huh?
[00:36:02]  Like, I can't believe it.
[00:36:04]  It's just weird to actually, it's hard to actually wrap my mind around that gay people are actually gay.
[00:36:10]  Like, you actually do that to another dude.
[00:36:13]  But, you know, hey.
[00:36:16]  I guess it's real.
[00:36:17]  I don't know.
[00:36:17]  I have a tough time actually believing Mayor Pete is gay, but I'm well aware.
[00:36:22]  This is my own ignorance.
[00:36:23]  He is gay.
[00:36:24]  It'd be a little bit weird to be the bottom guy and be president.
[00:36:28]  Yeah, it seems strange.
[00:36:29]  I mean, do you see when he was going after Elizabeth Warren?
[00:36:31]  That seemed like a top.
[00:36:32]  That seemed like top energy, but then he's so tiny.
[00:36:35]  I don't know.
[00:36:35]  But I respect, if you want to bottom it, I'm not like, I'm not, you know, I'm not judging here.
[00:36:39]  I don't know if America's ready for a bottom president, but that's just me.
[00:36:43]  I'm just wondering.
[00:36:45]  I don't know.
[00:36:45]  Man, this is why we're not monetized on YouTube.
[00:36:47]  I don't even want to deal with the goddamn problems.
[00:36:50]  All right.
[00:36:50]  Jake says, a lot of my Facebook friends have been commenting on the wealth tax.
[00:36:55]  It's not so much a question, but an observation.
[00:37:00]  Yeah, I don't know, man.
[00:37:02]  I mean, the wealth tax, it's just so ridiculous.
[00:37:08]  It's not just that it's like, there's something that separates proposing this wealth tax from other tax and spend Democrats or, you know, like we should increase taxes.
[00:37:20]  We should tax the rich more or anything like that.
[00:37:23]  Proposing a whole new wealth tax, I mean, forget the fact that it's like, you know, it's proposing a whole new tax.
[00:37:31]  Forget the fact that it's, you know, I mean, you needed, like we were talking about with Peter Schiff the last episode, you needed a constitutional amendment for the income tax.
[00:37:38]  So wouldn't you need another constitutional amendment for the wealth tax?
[00:37:42]  There's all these kind of problems.
[00:37:44]  Peter Schiff also made an excellent point that the income, you know, when Elizabeth Warren says just two pennies, just on the very rich, this is exactly how they sold the income tax.
[00:37:53]  That it would just be a couple percentage, a couple percentages, you know, two pennies.
[00:37:58]  Maybe they didn't say it that way, but be like, oh, it'll just be like 2% and it'll just be on.
[00:38:02]  Two pennies back then was people's entire income.
[00:38:04]  They were like, my life savings?
[00:38:06]  Two pennies?
[00:38:06]  I'm going to retire on those pennies.
[00:38:09]  But they'd be like, oh, it would just be 2% and it would just be on Carnegie and, you know, Rockefeller and people like that.
[00:38:16]  And then, of course, you know, once it's...
[00:38:18]  Carnegie or Carnegie?
[00:38:19]  Carnegie?
[00:38:20]  I don't know.
[00:38:20]  Did I say that wrong?
[00:38:21]  Yeah, maybe I did.
[00:38:22]  My bad.
[00:38:22]  No, yeah, no, you might be right about that.
[00:38:24]  Well, it's Carnegie Hall, so I guess Carnegie.
[00:38:26]  But anyway, it would just be on the super rich.
[00:38:28]  And then, of course, once it's in, it's very easy for them to apply it to everybody and then to raise it up.
[00:38:33]  And oh my God, there's an emergency.
[00:38:34]  So instead of 2%, it's going to be 70%.
[00:38:36]  You know, it's very easy.
[00:38:39]  But the stuff with the wealth tax that's so ridiculous is that, number one, well, I don't know.
[00:38:46]  I mean, I know I've gone through this before, but just to quickly go over it.
[00:38:50]  People's net worth is somewhat of an imaginary number.
[00:38:56]  So when people look around and they'll go, oh, Jeff Bezos is worth, you know, $130 billion or whatever the number is that he's worth.
[00:39:05]  That's not suggesting that Jeff Bezos has liquid, $130 billion.
[00:39:11]  He's got nothing like that liquid.
[00:39:13]  What they're talking about is the value in his stock.
[00:39:16]  Okay.
[00:39:16]  So it'd be quite possible.
[00:39:18]  Like you could run a company that's, well, first of all, you could run a company that's valued at $10 million and then you go to sell the company and you only end up selling it for $7 million or you end up selling it for $12 million.
[00:39:32]  These valuations are not perfect.
[00:39:34]  It's an appraisal.
[00:39:35]  You know, it's like they don't know.
[00:39:37]  I mean, even just with selling a house, people have gotten their house appraised and then sold it for a pretty drastically different price than what it was appraised for.
[00:39:45]  But let's say you have a company that's worth $10 million and you have like 70% of the company.
[00:39:53]  You know, you own 70% of the company, the stock.
[00:39:58]  So then people would say, okay, well, your net worth is $7 million because you're, you know, or, you know, maybe a little bit more, but just your net worth worth of what you have in this company is $7 million.
[00:40:09]  You own 70% of a $10 million company.
[00:40:12]  But that guy could very easily, very easily be making $200,000 a year.
[00:40:19]  $200,000 a year.
[00:40:21]  I mean, that's like his salary and the company is worth $10 million.
[00:40:25]  Those are very realistic numbers.
[00:40:27]  So now this guy's got to pay 2% of $7 million a year, assuming they keep it at 2%, when he's not making anything like that.
[00:40:37]  You get what I'm saying?
[00:40:38]  So now think about this, right?
[00:40:40]  Let's say then you took the value of his homes, his 401k, his car, his like, you know, if you want to go into net worth, like take it all, and you come up with this guy's got like a $15 million net worth.
[00:40:53]  So now he's got to pay 2% of $15 million.
[00:40:57]  Do the math on that quickly?
[00:40:59]  What's 2% of 15 million?
[00:41:02]  This is sorry.
[00:41:04]  Still close to the holidays, right?
[00:41:06]  No, $3 million?
[00:41:07]  No, that's way off.
[00:41:09]  I decided to throw out a number.
[00:41:11]  Okay, well, let's say it's $30,000.
[00:41:15]  Jesus Christ.
[00:41:16]  Jesus Christ, this is embarrassing.
[00:41:18]  We should edit this part out.
[00:41:19]  Hold on.
[00:41:19]  But let's say I'm going to go 15 times 0.2.
[00:41:23]  So it would be, was it $3, $300,000?
[00:41:28]  So now he owes more money than he's bringing in.
[00:41:31]  I mean, do you just get where this, the math on this is just craziness.
[00:41:35]  So what you're going to end up forcing people to do is what, to liquidate a bunch of their assets in order to pay this crazy tax?
[00:41:43]  Because it just doesn't make sense to do that.
[00:41:44]  They do that to people on this.
[00:41:47]  I remember this was interesting.
[00:41:48]  When Steinbrenner died, he died.
[00:41:50]  And if he had lived for one more month, they would have had to sold half the Yankees just to pay the tax.
[00:41:55]  They do that on the, what do they call those taxes?
[00:41:58]  When inheritance taxes.
[00:42:01]  Right.
[00:42:01]  Because you end up getting taxed on the full value of things that isn't liquid, such as like what the Yankees are worth.
[00:42:07]  And now all of a sudden you inherit something worth like a billion bucks and you owe $500 million to the government, which is crazy.
[00:42:13]  Right.
[00:42:14]  I mean, so this is, I mean, it's just, it's ridiculous.
[00:42:17]  And then, of course, it also can't pay for the stuff that she promises for it.
[00:42:20]  So there's a lot of problems with this stuff.
[00:42:25]  All right.
[00:42:26]  Let's go to the next question.
[00:42:28]  Kyle.
[00:42:29]  Oh, here we go.
[00:42:30]  Kyle writes, is the mainstream Holocaust?
[00:42:33]  Crazy Kyle or good Kyle?
[00:42:34]  It's crazy, Kyle.
[00:42:36]  Good Kyle played.
[00:42:36]  But I love it.
[00:42:36]  I'm going to play in Denver.
[00:42:38]  Okay.
[00:42:39]  Okay.
[00:42:39]  I love crazy Kyle, but he can be a little bit of a cunt, but he's a smart guy, and I like having him in the group.
[00:42:46]  But Kyle writes, and this is, I could have guessed.
[00:42:49]  All right, is the mainstream Holocaust narrative true?
[00:42:53]  Was Murray Rothbard a denier and a Bolshevik truther?
[00:43:00]  So I don't actually know what Bolshevik truther means.
[00:43:05]  But is the mainstream narrative of the Holocaust true?
[00:43:09]  Well, I would guarantee that there are some things in the mainstream narrative that are not true.
[00:43:16]  I think that's true about just about every historical event.
[00:43:21]  I would say that if you're saying just the following questions, were the Nazis absolutely brutal to the Jewish people?
[00:43:33]  Were there concentration camps and death camps and were millions of Jews killed?
[00:43:38]  I would say yes to all of those.
[00:43:40]  That would be the extent that I'm comfortable saying, like, with a fair degree of certainty, yes.
[00:43:48]  I don't know.
[00:43:49]  Like, what is the exact number?
[00:43:51]  I don't fucking know.
[00:43:52]  Were there exaggerations?
[00:43:53]  Undeniably.
[00:43:54]  I mean, like, the lampshade shit.
[00:43:56]  And there's been all types of, all types of claims about what happened in the Holocaust that were never actually verified.
[00:44:03]  I don't know.
[00:44:04]  It was also in the middle of the bloodiest war in the history of the world.
[00:44:07]  A lot of people died.
[00:44:08]  A lot of people starved to death.
[00:44:10]  Everyone was panicking.
[00:44:11]  So, like, we got to just kill some Jews, you know?
[00:44:13]  That's what happens.
[00:44:14]  Everyone makes sense.
[00:44:15]  Yeah.
[00:44:15]  You know, you're not sure what to do.
[00:44:17]  Let me ask you, Kyle.
[00:44:17]  Let me turn it around on you.
[00:44:19]  You're fucking panicking.
[00:44:20]  You're about to be taken out.
[00:44:21]  And you got some concentration camps full of Jews.
[00:44:24]  What are you going to do with them?
[00:44:25]  I think the question answers itself.
[00:44:28]  Wasn't Murray Rothbard a denier?
[00:44:30]  No.
[00:44:31]  No, he was not.
[00:44:32]  Murray Rothbard was not a Holocaust denier.
[00:44:35]  And you can't, you know, I've heard this accusation leveled before.
[00:44:39]  I mean, find me something.
[00:44:41]  Find me any of Murray Rothbard's writing where he denied the Holocaust.
[00:44:45]  Murray Rothbard had a quote once that people tried to twist into being Holocaust denial that was not.
[00:44:55]  Basically, he said something along the lines of Jews, he was criticizing Jews who guilt Christians over things they did to Jews.
[00:45:06]  So basically he was saying he was criticizing Jews.
[00:45:09]  I forget the exact quote, but it was something along the lines of like criticizing Jews because Jews were blaming Christians for the Holocaust that they never even did.
[00:45:19]  And his point was that these Christians didn't do it.
[00:45:22]  He was not saying that the Holocaust never happened.
[00:45:24]  He was saying that like every European Christian is not responsible for what happened to the Jews.
[00:45:31]  That was his point, not that the Holocaust never happened.
[00:45:34]  Look, if Murray Rothbard did a ton of revisionist history and he never held back from controversial topics.
[00:45:44]  So if he thought that this humongous historical narrative was all completely made up, I guarantee you he would have written probably a book, but definitely an article about it.
[00:45:56]  So no, I do not believe that Murray Rothbard was a Holocaust denier and a Bolshevik truther?
[00:46:05]  Quite possibly, but I don't know.
[00:46:06]  You'd have to tell me exactly what you mean by that.
[00:46:08]  What, the idea that the Bolsheviks killed more people than the Nazis?
[00:46:15]  Then probably yes.
[00:46:16]  And I don't know if it's just, is it something about the Bolsheviks being Jews or something like that?
[00:46:22]  Then he probably believed the truth that they had a very large Jewish influence.
[00:46:29]  I don't know.
[00:46:30]  I hope that answers your question.
[00:46:32]  I promise it will not be satisfactory to Kyle.
[00:46:36]  Okay.

=== Ricky Gervais Decadence Joke (02:10) ===

[00:46:38]  Dante asks, what did you think of Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes?
[00:46:45]  Did you see it?
[00:46:46]  Oh, yeah.
[00:46:46]  What did you think?
[00:46:47]  Well, firstly, that joke he had on Leo DiCaprio was excellent.
[00:46:51]  Do you remember that joke?
[00:46:52]  That was so funny.
[00:46:52]  Fantastic.
[00:46:53]  The movie was so long by the time it was over, your girlfriend was too old for you.
[00:46:57]  Yeah, I mean, just a that was a perfect joke.
[00:47:00]  Other than that, I mean, some of the jokes were hit or miss, but yeah, it was fucking legendary when he said, don't come up here and preach.
[00:47:05]  If ISIS had a streaming service, you would work for it.
[00:47:07]  Oh, yeah.
[00:47:08]  It was amazing.
[00:47:09]  I mean, what is better than being in the room with those people and saying straight to their face, hey, Tim Cook is here.
[00:47:15]  And then the camera goes to him and he goes, yeah, you slave labor.
[00:47:18]  Don't preach to us about ethics in the media.
[00:47:21]  Yeah.
[00:47:21]  No, I love it.
[00:47:22]  And I don't even really completely agree with the whole slave labor thing, but I loved it.
[00:47:26]  I love just, come on.
[00:47:27]  I mean, if you're going to, how could you be?
[00:47:29]  It's almost, you know what's funny about Ricky Gervais?
[00:47:32]  He then, it's one of these things where he almost exposes any other comic who hosts one of these shows.
[00:47:37]  Because how could you be a comedian and host one of these shows?
[00:47:41]  And that's not the angle you would take.
[00:47:43]  It's absurd.
[00:47:44]  You know, I mean, I don't know.
[00:47:46]  I've fucking talked about all these award shows forever, but it's just, it's amazing.
[00:47:50]  These people, the nerve of these people at the absolute height of just fucking decadence and extravagant, you know, extravagance and decadence.
[00:48:02]  Like, that's everything that sums up that night, you know?
[00:48:07]  Extravagance and decadence.
[00:48:09]  And then you're going to come up and morally posture and lecture other people and talk about your cause.
[00:48:16]  Like, you'll literally be in this room with like, you know, like a fucking some $100,000 chandelier hanging over you, drinking a fucking $300 bottle of wine, fucking wearing $5,000 shoes and a $20,000 gown, and then get up and give your message about like, get the fuck out of here.
[00:48:38]  And it was great.
[00:48:38]  He said, he said, you know, nothing of the real world.
[00:48:41]  He goes, most of you have been in school less than Greta Thunberg.
[00:48:45]  That was, it was incredible.
[00:48:46]  I just fucking, I loved it.

=== Tucker Tax Argument (10:58) ===

[00:48:48]  Good for him.
[00:48:50]  And he fucking, you know, you know, he got some heat for it.
[00:48:54]  But I loved, I also loved just like the thing of like just being like, yeah, this is my last time.
[00:49:01]  I don't give a shit.
[00:49:02]  I'm just going to do it.
[00:49:03]  It was great.
[00:49:04]  Now, I did hear from other people.
[00:49:05]  So I don't actually watch the shows.
[00:49:07]  Jay told me that he was kind of being a cunt the entire night, like at as bringing people up and kind of rolling his eyes at them after they gave speeches and shit.
[00:49:16]  And maybe there is a point at that where Jay kind of was like, oh, you're kind of being a dick at this point.
[00:49:20]  Poster don't.
[00:49:21]  Yes, that I agree with.
[00:49:23]  I think you should probably like say your thing there, but then fucking host the show.
[00:49:26]  It's like, if you don't want to do the gig, turn down the gig, but don't like be a fucking cunt the entire night.
[00:49:31]  But it was great that he went at them like that.
[00:49:33]  And it's not like, it's not like he wasn't being funny with it.
[00:49:36]  So as long as you're fucking being funny with it, go at them.
[00:49:38]  I think that's that's fine.
[00:49:40]  But yeah, maybe, I don't know.
[00:49:43]  I don't fucking watch these shows.
[00:49:44]  I just watch the clips online the next day.
[00:49:46]  But so maybe, maybe he was a little bit, you know, of a dick throughout the thing.
[00:49:50]  I don't know.
[00:49:51]  Okay.
[00:49:53]  Bubba writes, comment that corporations don't pay taxes.
[00:49:59]  Individuals are the only ones.
[00:50:01]  I keep hearing Amazon doesn't pay any taxes.
[00:50:04]  No corporations pay taxes.
[00:50:06]  They only collect them.
[00:50:07]  Besides, the Fed destroys more wealth than taxes do.
[00:50:14]  Okay.
[00:50:15]  So I guess, you know, I more or less agree with that.
[00:50:23]  I mean, like, technically, it's like both are true.
[00:50:25]  Corporations do pay taxes and so do people.
[00:50:28]  I mean, it all comes down to people paying taxes.
[00:50:31]  And I agree that the Fed destroys more wealth than taxes do.
[00:50:37]  I, you know, if there are companies that don't pay income taxes, it's usually because, well, it's usually because of one of a couple things.
[00:50:54]  Either they're reinvesting their money into the company, which like that's the major reason why Amazon doesn't pay taxes.
[00:51:04]  Or it's because they're taking advantage of tax credits that are written into the tax code.
[00:51:11]  And usually those tax credits are things that left-wingers wanted in the tax code.
[00:51:20]  It's not like there's a fucking, we have a Rothbardian tax code.
[00:51:24]  I mean, who's fucking writing this thing?
[00:51:25]  So I know there was like a few years where GE paid like next to nothing in taxes.
[00:51:31]  And it was because they were like building a whole bunch of wind turbines and shit like that.
[00:51:35]  And they were offering tax credits for green energies, you know, or like tax credits and subsidies or some mix of that.
[00:51:41]  So it's like so many of these left-wingers who complain about it.
[00:51:44]  It's like, do you even look into the details of why they're getting this?
[00:51:47]  Do you want to take away the fucking wind turbine tax credit?
[00:51:50]  Because guess what?
[00:51:50]  Then they're not going to build the wind turbines, which I thought was like your whole fucking thing.
[00:51:54]  So, yeah, it's like Amazon is reinvesting in building factories with the money.
[00:51:59]  What, you'd rather them give it to the government?
[00:52:01]  Why?
[00:52:02]  How is that better for anybody?
[00:52:04]  So, and then to your point that like people are the ones who pay the taxes.
[00:52:08]  Well, it's like, yeah, of course.
[00:52:09]  I mean, it's also, you know, it's not just that people end up paying them, but that it's like far less jobs are created because of the taxes taken out.
[00:52:19]  And that's just obvious.
[00:52:20]  I mean, like, I don't know.
[00:52:23]  I mean, you can think about these things in very basic terms, which is usually the level that I'm at.
[00:52:29]  But if you have, let's say, whatever the numbers are, right?
[00:52:33]  Like, I don't have them in front of me, but you know, like, there's like a certain amount of like new businesses that are started every year, and the vast majority go out of business.
[00:52:41]  I think it's something like three out of four businesses go out of business in the first five years.
[00:52:45]  Like, most businesses don't make it.
[00:52:48]  So let's just say, and, you know, of course, the number one reason why businesses go out of business is because they run out of money.
[00:52:55]  They're not profiting enough and they don't have enough money to sustain them to keep in business.
[00:53:01]  So if you drastically lowered taxes, would that number go up or down?
[00:53:08]  Would more businesses make it if they had more money or less?
[00:53:13]  Well, obviously, to ask the question is to answer the question.
[00:53:15]  Of course, more businesses would stay in business if they could keep, if they had more money.
[00:53:20]  And so then there's more jobs created.
[00:53:23]  It's obvious.
[00:53:25]  I mean, that's do you want you want more jobs?
[00:53:27]  And then all these politicians go around and go, you know, better jobs at higher wages is like what everyone runs on.
[00:53:34]  It's like your job is by its very nature killing other people's jobs.
[00:53:40]  So, you know.
[00:53:43]  Anyway, okay.
[00:53:47]  Sean writes, what do you think of the toxic homophobia over at Leading Liberty?
[00:53:55]  Oh, man.
[00:53:56]  Dude, fuck those guys.
[00:53:57]  I can't even waste time on that ridiculous fucking page.
[00:54:01]  It's like some fucking socialist libertarian page that's been there.
[00:54:05]  I mean, they're just the saddest thing in the fucking universe.
[00:54:08]  The entire page is just trashing Tom Woods and me and like other libertarians.
[00:54:14]  Like, well, no, I don't know about that.
[00:54:17]  I think, I actually think that would probably win us some favor with that crowd.
[00:54:20]  I don't know about the homophobia.
[00:54:22]  For not being gay enough.
[00:54:23]  Maybe.
[00:54:24]  Maybe that's the problem.
[00:54:25]  Oh, they're just fucking, it's literally like the saddest thing ever.
[00:54:28]  It's like, they're just like post after post after post shitting on Tom Woods and me and like every other decent libertarian out there.
[00:54:36]  And they're getting like fucking basically no traction.
[00:54:39]  Just fucking losers on their page.
[00:54:41]  They are the loser brigade.
[00:54:42]  They're the fucking, they're one of the major players.
[00:54:45]  And while I'm at it, you know what?
[00:54:46]  Fuck that page, those fakertarians.
[00:54:49]  Fuck that page too.
[00:54:50]  Fuck all those guys.
[00:54:51]  They're on my shit list too.
[00:54:53]  Fuck them giving me fucking shit for going on fucking Stefan Molyneux's show.
[00:54:58]  They're fucking the faker Tarians one who actually piss me off more because from what I've been told, there's like a couple decent people attached to that.
[00:55:05]  Fuck them.
[00:55:06]  Fuck those guys.
[00:55:07]  They're gonna fucking give me shit for fucking going on Stefan Molyneux's podcast to advocate against war because you didn't like that I called him great.
[00:55:16]  There I sit there.
[00:55:17]  There's this fucking page that's called Faker Tariot.
[00:55:20]  So they're dedicated to talking about who's not libertarian enough.
[00:55:25]  So by their own fucking thing, it's like you're only four libertarians.
[00:55:29]  You're not speaking to anyone outside of the fucking choir.
[00:55:32]  You're sitting there going, we're only talking to libertarians and virtue signaling about who's not libertarian enough.
[00:55:39]  Like, okay, well, that's nice.
[00:55:41]  You're having no impact on anyone.
[00:55:43]  You're not doing anything for the fucking world.
[00:55:45]  Meanwhile, I'm fucking out here building up one of the biggest platforms in the libertarian space, converting thousands of people, introducing these ideas to thousands of people.
[00:55:54]  I can't tell you.
[00:55:55]  I literally can't do a show.
[00:55:56]  I can't do any live event without someone coming up to me within five minutes of being there and being like, you're the reason I'm a libertarian.
[00:56:05]  I've gotten that more times than I could count.
[00:56:07]  And with emails and messages, I mean, thousands and thousands of people that I've introduced these ideas to.
[00:56:14]  And then I'm going to go on Stefan Molyneux show and you're like, well, we don't like Stefan Molyneux because he's courted this right-wing audience.
[00:56:20]  It's like, okay, well, I'm arguing to a right-wing audience to be anti-war and to not believe the government propaganda that's pushing us into this next disastrous conflict.
[00:56:30]  And you're going to sit there and go, and they're going to go, well, he called Stefan Molyneux great.
[00:56:36]  He owes us an explanation.
[00:56:37]  It's like, bitch, I don't owe you shit.
[00:56:39]  Men are talking.
[00:56:41]  Shut up.
[00:56:42]  Shut up and beat it.
[00:56:44]  I don't know what to tell you.
[00:56:45]  By the way, there's something these fucking idiots, the leading liberty and these other people, this is something they never get.
[00:56:50]  I've gotten dozens and dozens of messages from people who say that they went down the libertarian to alt-right pipeline and that I pulled them back from that.
[00:57:05]  Because they're like, hey, you know, you actually would like take on some of these ideas and like not treat these people just like they're toxic and like have an honest conversation with them.
[00:57:13]  You kind of convinced me to come back in this direction.
[00:57:15]  That's something these guys will never fucking do because they're as soon as as soon as anybody even goes, eh, you know, they do have a point about immigration or they do have a point about kind of like the culture becoming very hostile to white people.
[00:57:27]  As soon as anyone says that, you know what I mean?
[00:57:29]  They're like, well, you're a Nazi too.
[00:57:31]  You're a fascist.
[00:57:32]  White nationalist.
[00:57:33]  Whatever thing.
[00:57:34]  By the way, none of them ever fucking make an argument.
[00:57:37]  It's like, make a fucking argument.
[00:57:39]  I'm open to being convinced if something's wrong.
[00:57:41]  None of them are doing that.
[00:57:42]  It's just name-calling.
[00:57:43]  Fucking childish shit.
[00:57:45]  This is why you have no impact or influence on fucking anyone.
[00:57:50]  Anyway, fuck all those guys.
[00:57:52]  They're on my shit list.
[00:57:55]  The leading liberty guys, though, they're just more, they're more hilarious than anything else.
[00:57:59]  All right.
[00:58:01]  Jim writes, do you think Tucker Carlson has an effect on Trump?
[00:58:06]  And if so, how can we get our message to Tucker?
[00:58:12]  I think he does.
[00:58:13]  I don't know, but I've heard that Trump watches fucking Tucker Carlson and that he's like convinced him to not engage in some of these wars and shit like that.
[00:58:24]  And if he is, thank fucking God, you know?
[00:58:27]  Like, holy shit.
[00:58:28]  What a great service.
[00:58:29]  How do we get our message to Tucker?
[00:58:31]  I don't know.
[00:58:32]  Your guess is as good as mine on that one.
[00:58:34]  I don't know what to say.
[00:58:36]  All right.
[00:58:37]  Open up a bow tie store.
[00:58:38]  Yeah, well, he doesn't do the bow tie.
[00:58:40]  No, he doesn't.
[00:58:41]  No, he's off the bow tie game.
[00:58:45]  Okay.
[00:58:46]  Mike asked, and this one's going to be, I think, I think directed toward you, best slice in New York City.
[00:58:54]  I'm off pizza, bud.
[00:58:56]  Okay, but you still know where there's a good slice.
[00:58:58]  All right, I'll tell you the best place in the whole world, and you can get sandwiches there as well.
[00:59:01]  It's called Retro Pizza.
[00:59:02]  It's out in Queens.
[00:59:03]  Leo's the owner.
[00:59:04]  He's like a second dad to me.
[00:59:05]  You can go in there.
[00:59:06]  You can tell him of my friend.
[00:59:07]  I've been going in there at 2 a.m. every night now for like two years, getting meatball subs, getting myself chicken, getting myself slices.
[00:59:16]  I used to eat slices, but I'm off cheese because my stomach went real Jewish on me.
[00:59:20]  I used to have a great stomach.
[00:59:21]  I don't anymore.
[00:59:21]  It's done.
[00:59:22]  Yeah.
[00:59:22]  It retired from the cheese game.
[00:59:24]  But that's okay because I can still eat sandwiches.
[00:59:26]  I'm still living my life.
[00:59:27]  I'm still getting out there.
[00:59:28]  Put no cheese on the sandwich.
[00:59:29]  No cheese on the sandwiches.
[00:59:30]  I mix it up.
[00:59:30]  You throw some avocado on there, some hummus.
[00:59:33]  You make adjustments.
[00:59:33]  You make it work for you.
[00:59:35]  But I'm telling you, that place is so solid.
[00:59:37]  Great prices.
[00:59:38]  You get to hang out with Leo.
[00:59:39]  He's an angry man.
[00:59:41]  And retro pizza in Astoria.
[00:59:43]  Check it out.
[00:59:44]  All right.
[00:59:45]  Very good.

=== Rational Libertarianism Wall (06:37) ===

[00:59:46]  All right.
[00:59:46]  Andrew writes, how important is the view that humans are fundamentally atomized, rational agents to libertarianism?
[01:00:01]  Okay.
[01:00:02]  So that's a really good question.
[01:00:06]  Let me say, this is what I think.
[01:00:09]  I don't think it's at all fundamental that human beings are atomized.
[01:00:15]  I don't even know exactly what you mean by that.
[01:00:19]  Like, is that to say that there is no influence from other humans onto humans, that there's no influence from your society onto you?
[01:00:27]  Well, no, I mean, I don't think that I don't think any libertarians have ever, any good ones have ever claimed that.
[01:00:33]  That's just a denial of reality.
[01:00:35]  Human beings are social creatures, and we are very much affected by the society, the culture, the families that we come from.
[01:00:47]  And when you say rational, the question is what you mean by rational?
[01:00:53]  Because that's really where things get tricky.
[01:00:55]  So all that's required to me that's fundamental to libertarianism is that humans are individuals and are rational in the Misesian sense.
[01:01:09]  So rational, so the way that Mises defined a rational actor just means that you're acting with a purpose.
[01:01:19]  So in other words, that you have an intent for what you're doing.
[01:01:22]  So in other words, according to Ludwig von Mises, if you were banging your head against the wall, that is a rational act.
[01:01:33]  It's not now somebody with a different definition of like the commonly held usage of the word rational.
[01:01:37]  You can be crazy, though, and be banging your head against the wall.
[01:01:41]  Yes, but even if you, if you are crazy, intentionality, you wanted to bang your head against the wall.
[01:01:47]  You wanted the feeling of banging your head against the wall, and so you did it.
[01:01:50]  You know what I'm saying?
[01:01:51]  So what Mises' point was that human beings act with a purpose, so that you act with the intent of something from that outcome.
[01:01:59]  Now, there are people who are just out of their mind.
[01:02:02]  So maybe that gets into a little gray area.
[01:02:04]  The problem with even if you're willing to accept that people are out of their mind and they fall out of rationality, then you can say that anytime people are not acting in their best interest, there's a degree of people not being rational actors.
[01:02:16]  Well, yes, but that's, but again, that sense of rationality, I think is not required for libertarianism.
[01:02:22]  What is required for libertarianism is that people act rationally in the Misesian sense, which is just to say that people take purposeful action, that they do things for a reason.
[01:02:33]  So if you were, let's say, you're going to gamble your fucking entire year's salary on a sporting game, someone could say by the common sense, well, that's irrational.
[01:02:47]  But if you love get, like, if you're acting because you think this team's going to win or because you think that you really love the thrill of gambling or something, that still fits the Misesian definition of rational action.
[01:02:59]  So to me, that's all that's actually like necessary for the philosophy of libertarianism.
[01:03:07]  But this idea that I hear a lot from kind of like the dissident right that the problem with libertarianism is that they believe in these kind of atomized individuals who are completely unaffected by the rest of society.
[01:03:22]  I mean, I just don't, I don't think that's true.
[01:03:24]  And I don't think any serious libertarian thinkers have made that claim.
[01:03:28]  And it doesn't matter.
[01:03:30]  I mean, it's like the point is, look, we are individuals who are in collectives.
[01:03:37]  Like both exist.
[01:03:38]  To deny either one is to deny reality.
[01:03:41]  It's like all of those things exist.
[01:03:43]  However, what the libertarians recognize is that we act as individuals.
[01:03:49]  That's not to say that it's not influenced by the group, but it's just saying that we act as individuals.
[01:03:54]  So if I punch the wall, you know, like maybe it's that I, whatever, came from like a crazy family or there's a crazy society or there's lots of other things that have influenced me.
[01:04:05]  Maybe I see someone else punching the wall and then I want to be like them so I punch the wall.
[01:04:09]  But the point is that I move my arm and my hand feels the pain of punching the wall.
[01:04:15]  So in that sense, we believe in individuals.
[01:04:18]  In the same sense that I, am an individual, am speaking into this microphone and you as an individual are hearing me right now.
[01:04:24]  It doesn't matter how much effect the group has had on us.
[01:04:27]  We exist as individuals in that level.
[01:04:30]  We act as individuals.
[01:04:32]  I'm going to answer from just a slightly different approach.
[01:04:35]  I think the reason why people might suggest we're not rational actors is as an argument for why there should be some sort of like a government body or even like a committee to make decisions that individually we don't act rationally.
[01:04:49]  And so therefore people should get together and kind of create laws, even if it violates people's liberty, because the laws that the group come up with might be rational and might actually help people from themselves.
[01:04:59]  I think that's kind of the argument for why if you were to say people are not rational actors, then maybe there is an argument to be made for why there's like a necessary for government, even if it infringes on liberty.
[01:05:12]  And I think even if you put that forward, it's not true to me because I think like personal responsibility, even like if we're not 100% rational, it still kind of changes the equation of how people operate and you still end up with a better outcome, even for individuals.
[01:05:25]  Yeah.
[01:05:25]  Well, I also would agree.
[01:05:27]  I would argue that even if you're using that term, which is the more common, you know, definition of rational rather than the Messesian definition, if you're going to say that human beings sometimes act irrational, therefore we need governments to write these rules, it's like, okay, well, then what you'd have to demonstrate to me is that governments and their rules are more rational than individuals acting freely.
[01:05:53]  And that, you know what I mean?
[01:05:55]  Like you'd have to in some way say that there's more of a tendency toward rationality from government rules, which I mean, there's a million examples.
[01:06:03]  Again, this is not using the Messesian definition, but there's a million, you know, if you just look at us subsidizing tobacco and taxing tobacco, fighting a war for the Shiites and then fighting a war against the Shiites, all of this stuff is far more irrational, levels more irrational than like the average consumer is.
[01:06:22]  So that's what I would say there.

=== Man To Man Zone Play (01:55) ===

[01:06:24]  All right, I got time for one more question.
[01:06:26]  Then we do have to wrap.
[01:06:27]  Sorry, it's a little shorter this episode.
[01:06:28]  We'll go long on the next episode to make up for it.
[01:06:31]  I got a little bit of an issue with the babysitter had something come up and has to leave early.
[01:06:35]  So I apologize.
[01:06:37]  Dad shit.
[01:06:39]  Okay.
[01:06:40]  Bill writes, oh, this is a good fun one to go out on.
[01:06:43]  What's your preferred basketball defense?
[01:06:46]  Man-to-man, zone, or box and one?
[01:06:49]  Somehow I feel like there's like a sexual undertone to this, but that might just be me.
[01:06:54]  Well, listen, I'm just going to answer this as a strict basketball question.
[01:06:57]  I'm not going to try to decode any of this other nonsense.
[01:07:01]  Man-to-man is the defense that you want.
[01:07:04]  You always, you want to fucking play a man-to-man.
[01:07:06]  You want your team to be good enough to guard the other team man-to-man.
[01:07:10]  You play a zone when basically you're like, we can't fucking guard these guys man-to-man.
[01:07:15]  So we got to play a fucking zone.
[01:07:16]  And box and one is like fucking, that's like the ultimate pathetic fucking defense.
[01:07:22]  You're like, there's this one guy who we just cannot stop.
[01:07:25]  So we're going to throw two fucking people at him wherever he is on the court and whatever.
[01:07:29]  The rest of the team is just going to have an advantage for the whole game because we're so convinced that this one guy fucking is better than anyone we could throw on him defensively.
[01:07:37]  So what you want is a man-to-man defense.
[01:07:40]  That's the preferred defense.
[01:07:43]  But then, if you're like a coach or something like that, or the captain of a team, you got to recognize the reality of the situation.
[01:07:51]  And maybe you're like, look, we really can't match up with these guys man-to-man.
[01:07:54]  So we got to fucking play, you know, maybe a nice 2-3 zone.
[01:07:58]  Maybe a 1-3-1.
[01:07:59]  If we're going to go with a zone, I always liked the 1-3-1.
[01:08:02]  And boxing one is just terrible.
[01:08:05]  You never want to have to do that.
[01:08:06]  That's like a real desperation move.
[01:08:10]  All right.
[01:08:11]  There you go.
[01:08:11]  Take me back to my high school days.
[01:08:13]  Fucking balling it up.
[01:08:15]  All right.
[01:08:16]  I love you guys.
[01:08:17]  We'll be back on Monday with a brand new episode.
[01:08:20]  Pace.
