The radical, fundamental principles of freedom, rational self-interest, and individual rights. This is the Iran Book Show. All right everybody, welcome to Iran Book Show on this Wednesday. I guess it's early afternoon here in Puerto Rico. Morning if you're on the West Coast and of course evening already in Europe if you're listening from over there, which I'm sure some of you probably are. At least that has been the history of these morning news roundups that we've had more European listeners. So again, thank you all for joining me. As you can see, the time kind of bounces around depending on my schedule as it evolves in the mornings. Meetings, calls, things like that happen and I have to figure out how to do it all. But anyway, we're committed to doing these every day and we'll stick with that until travel season starts up again. And we'll have to skip the day as I travel. All right, there's a lot to talk about today. There's a ton in the news as always. Of course, we should mention that today is the 81st anniversary. Anniversary is that commemoration of the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. As a complete surprise, at least as presented in most history books, complete surprise. Japan attacked the United States, attacked the United States Naval Base in Hawaii. The US Navy was completely ill-prepared. There was no intelligence that was coming in those days. There was no ability to survey. There were no satellite pictures. Didn't really know where the Japanese fleet was. And this was a complete surprise. The Japanese bombed the facilities in Pearl Harbor, destroyed a number of ships, sank a significant number of the US Navy, the Pacific, the Navy and the Pacific. Japanese used not only bombs but also kamikaze pilots, pilots who crashed the airplanes and committed suicide and crashed them into the ships. I mean, there was some intelligence and, yes, it was ignored. There was also a reason to believe Japan was going to attack given the restraints on trade that the United States has imposed on the Japanese. And, you know, Ayn Rand thought, I think, from what I understand, thought that basically FDR was doing everything he could to get the Japanese or the Germans to attack, that he wanted a war, that he couldn't initiate the war as preemption because there was a big faction within the American public and within the administration. There was anti-war, there was kind of pacifist. So he needed either Germany or Japan to attack so that he could launch a war. He could get it forward to the war. I think that's speculative. I'll let the historians chime in on all of that. But the bottom line is that the United States was surprised and 2,000 Americans were killed during the attack and, of course, not only did the attack launch the entry into World War II of the United States in the Pacific, not only was that a declaration of war by Japan against America, obviously, but immediately after the attack, the Nazis declared war in the United States in the East so that the U.S. now had a two-front war. You know, there's an incredible story there to be told about how the U.S. took its manufacturing capabilities, peacetime manufacturing capabilities and turned the country into a war footing and basically built better weapons, more advanced weapons, more technologically sophisticated weapons, more innovative weapons, and at larger scale than either the Japanese or the Germans by far so that within a couple of years, as of December 41, by the beginning of 44, the United States has by far the dominant military power in the world. It is crushing the Germans in the East and it is crushing the Japanese in the West and the United States managed to fight a two-front war which is very unusual. Hitler tried and failed a two-front war in the East and in the West, fought a war far from its territory, so supply chains, supply lines, very, very, very difficult and yet crushed its enemies, both the Japanese and the Germans. There was a lot to be learned from that war and from American success in that war, but we will leave that for another time. That is for a longer show and a longer discussion and maybe bringing on an historian to back some of the data up, but there is no question that the ability of the U.S. to kind of muster the resources after the Tech on Pearl Harbor and to dominate the world militarily is an amazing story, an amazing story. All right, commit teacher. I always have a hard time with the name. Thank you for the support. Really appreciate it.

Let's see, just because this is relevant, Caleb says, thanks for recommending Victor Davis Hansen's book on World War II last year, Reddit this summer, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Yes, I highly, highly recommend Victor Davis Hansen's books on military history. I think the superb, I don't like much of his other work, but I do like his work on military history, particularly World War II, but also Greek military history, great military generals. There are a number of those books. He's got a more recent book on who had the more advanced weapons systems because there's this mythology around the Germans having the best tank and the best plane and the best missiles and all that. And Victor Davis Hansen is excellent on debunking all of that and showing that the U.S. by far had the best weapons systems, the freedom. Freedom produces the best technology and you can see that in the U.K. and you can see that in the U.S. So highly recommend Victor Davis Hansen on war, on war. All right, so Paul Haber justifies a much longer discussion, which we will have, I'm sure, one day. All right, just quickly, not on the list of topics, but Time Magazine announced the person of the year, I guess this morning or last night. Unsurprising, I think anybody could have predicted this, but the person of the year this year is Zelinsky, the president of Ukraine. I think while deserved, I think he has been, I mean put aside whether he was a good president before or not and how corrupt he might have not been and how democratic he might have been or not been before the Russian invasion, but he has been spectacular since the Russian invasion. He will go down in history as one of the great political leaders in terms of warfare. His skills as an actor, I think, have come, have manifested itself because he has a flair for the dramatic, but a flair for the dramatic is super important in this context because he has managed to motivate and inspire the Ukrainian people and as a consequence has been able to inspire and motivate and allow the generals to do what they do. I don't know who's responsible for the tactics. The tactics have been brilliant, I think, given a Ukrainian situation given that not a single military expert in the West predicted Ukrainian success.  They have thoroughly surprised pretty much everybody in the military world in terms of how well they have done and I think Zelinsky has been phenomenal. He's truly been phenomenal. I'm not looking for a ride, I'm looking for ammunition. I'm paraphrasing at the beginning of the war that was one of the best lines ever for a war president to make. It expressed his heroism and his commitment, the fact that he stayed in Kiev when the Russian troops were just a few miles outside of it and where clearly Russia was sending units to try to assassinate him, the fact that he has been to the front, that he's talked to soldiers, that he has not left Kiev, that has embedded his Kiev, that has become as many missiles as have hit Kiev. He has stuck with it. So what can I say? I think Zelinsky has been a truly heroic leader and well-deserved. I would vote for him in a heartbeat. And yeah, I mean, yes, he might be getting weapons for the West, but somebody has to use those weapons, somebody has to have the tactics to use those weapons, somebody has to deploy them appropriately. You know, brilliant. Everything that Ukrainians have done have really been brilliant, particularly when you compare it to the pathetic, horrible, incompetent nature of the performance of the Russian army and Putin as Commander-in-Chief. Yeah, good for Time Magazine for picking a great person of the year. Not always, they don't always, well, they don't always pick up a good person. Sometimes the person of the year is an evil person. And they could have just as equally picked Putin as a person of the year. Arguably, Putin is the one who set up Zelinsky without Putin acting. Zelinsky would have been, would have been nothing. All right, let's see. We all know Georgia runoff was yesterday. Warnock versus Walker, Warnock is one. This is the first, I think, election, midterm election in which the party, the president's party has since FDR, that the president's party has actually picked up a Senate seat. This is a truly, this election was a massive defeat for the Republicans. A massive defeat for, you know, Trump supported candidates in swing states. I think he's something like 14 to two or something ridiculous like that. A massive repudiation of Trump and a massive repudiation of this popular streak in the Republican Party and of these, these type of candidates. It is a, it is a, you know, it is a testament to the fact that people that even in a state like Georgia, which is not a Democratic state and I don't think will go Democratic, the governor of Georgia approved that by winning decisively, quality of candidates really, really matters and the people will not go come out to vote for a lousy candidate. They even, if that candidate is on their quote side. Republicans need independence in order to win. They need some of the independent vote. They can't win just appealing to the base.  Nevermind want him representing you in, in the Senate. Warnock is not a popular candidate in Georgia. He is a progressive. He is part of the left wing of the Democratic Party. And yet he came out looking so much better than the nutty Walker. So this is a repudiation of, of the, of the Republican base that elected Walker. There were better candidates. There were candidates that could have beaten Warnock and yet the base still chose Walker. And this suggests real dangers for 2024 when it could very much be that the base picks as the Republican nominee for president, somebody who cannot win, who cannot win a general election just like Walker couldn't win in Georgia. I don't know if anybody's going to learn any lessons from this. The Republicans in the house seem to be kind of imploding as well. McCarthy is trying to be speaker of the house and yet he's getting opposition from the populist Trumpist side of the spectrum, even though he is super Trumpist already, but he's not enough. He's not committed enough. He's not, doesn't total line enough. It could be that as a consequence of all that, they get some kind of moderate Democrat or moderate Republican speaker of the house because because they need, they'll need some Democratic votes in order to appoint the speaker. So the Republican Party is in real trouble. It's, it's, it doesn't have a direction. It doesn't have leadership. It's leadership is floundering. It is, it is breaking apart. This is all Trump. This is the consequence of Trump being president. This is the consequence of winning in 2016. This is the consequence of his dominance over the political party. This is, this is what I kept telling you and I've been telling you for seven, eight years now that the Trump will destroy the Republican Party. He is destroying, is in the middle of destroying the Republican Party. And, yeah, and it's, it's, it's, it's horrible. It's horrible because we need an opposition party. We need to be there to be a party that opposes Democrats. We need there to be a party that at least nominally is for more free markets. And I think that I don't know that that party exists even with Ron DeSantis, where fear, the more we learn about, we'll discover is, is a smarter Trump is just as bad as Trump. We'll see, but that the better elements within the Republican Party are going to get crushed by all of this and, and whether the, whether the country ultimately wants this Republican Party, whether in the future they're going to nominate people better than Walker, whether the primary system is built to nominate those kind of people.  What's lacking in the Republican Party is one decency, just basic human decency. Just, just the party that used to say, remember they used to say character matters. Remember those days? So what the Republican, Republicans need is to rediscover character and the character matters. That'll be step number one. And second, they need to decide what they actually stand for, what they actually stand for. And that is, do they stand for the founding fathers? Do they stand for liberty and freedom? Or are they just a party that's against the Democrats? And if it's a party that they're just against the Democrats, they might just hand the Democrats power and control. Because I don't think people will vote for a party that's just against the Democrats. All right. So, Judge will run off another repudiation of Republicans, another repudiation of the, of the, of this Republican Party and what it stands for, another repudiation of the people who nominated these people and of course a massive repudiation of Trump. And how will, how will the, the Republican Party recover from what I think is a massive defeat in this, in this midterm election? I do not know. I do not know. All right. TCM, TSMC. Is it TSMC? Yes, TSMC. We've talked a lot about micro, you know, chip manufacturers, microprocessor manufacturers, TSMC, is the largest in the world, not just the largest in the world, by far the most sophisticated in the world. It is more advanced than Intel today. It is the leader in chip manufacturing. Well, they have just announced partially because they're getting subsidies from the Biden administration. They have just announced a second facility in Arizona that they are building. They will expand their investment in Arizona from 12 to 40 billion dollars. Arizona will be where they will produce some of the more advanced semiconductors in the world. This is part of this whole effort to diversify supply chain. I don't think this is just a consequence of the CHIP Act, which a lot of Republicans voted for. I don't think it's just a consequence of government subsidies. I think it's also a consequence of pressure from companies like Apple and other American companies. And I think European companies to diversify the supply chain. I think everybody is worried about being over-reliant on Taiwan for the world's most sophisticated chips. They want TSMC to diversify its own supply chain, that is to diversify its own manufacturing base. Part of that diversification is the Arizona plants. They're also diversifying into other places around Asia. Those places will probably be fabricating the simpler chips. I think the Arizona facility and the Taiwan facility will be the two that actually have the more sophisticated one. Samsung, the other major manufacturing, major manufacturing of the most advanced chips in the world, will also be opening a plant in the United States. It details the stuff forthcoming, and they will also be working hard, I think, to diversify the supply chain, because the fact is that I think their customers are going to start demanding it. NVIDIA, AMD, which used to manufacture their own chips, now basically only design chips. All these other companies are going to acquire that the chips not just may be made in one little corner of Asia. But even if those Asian companies continue to have a dominant market share, that they at least start building factories in other places around the world so that if we cut off the supplies, if there's some way that the Chinese can cut off supplies from Taiwan or even cut off supplies from South Korea, that the world economy doesn't come to a complete halt because there are no chips, there are no semiconductors out there. I think overall good news, I hate the idea that the US government is subsidizing this because I fear that through subsidization we'll get inefficiencies, less productivity, we'll be backing the losers rather than backing the winners. That's usually what government does. So I wish the government just stayed out of it. I think this was a process happening anyway, even without government intervention. All right, let's see quickly. Russian oil. Russian oil continues to be a story. I talked about it. I think I talked about this yesterday. But as you know, a number of US allies have all signed a pact that basically restricts Russian oil and the global market to sell it below $60 a share. And of course they can't really tell the Indians at what price they can and cannot buy oil from Russia or other parties and what they can and cannot buy. So what they have done is they have made it impossible for US and European companies to facilitate that. So the ships can't be European or American and the insurance companies can't be European and American. They will only insure and they will only ship if the oil in those ships is $60 a barrel or under. That is the condition under which they will ship the oil. So the way this is playing out is kind of interesting. So first of all, you have to remember a lot of ships that carry oil, a lot of the tankers carry Greek flags. Greece is a major shipping country. It has very favorable shipping regulations. So a lot of companies flag their ships in Greece. That is supposedly Greek-owned ships. Greece is a part of the EU. Therefore Greek flagged tankers will not carry Russian oil unless there is some kind of documentation that proves that the oil is being sold for $60 or less. Second, almost all the insurers, 90% of all the insurance on Russian oil is bought in London. There is this, of course, massive insurance market has been since the beginning really of insurance. And again, the same thing happens. So what's happening is the Turkey, in order to get into the Black Sea and go and get the oil from Russian ports, you have to get through the Bosphorus straits into the Black Sea. Turkey has basically closed those straits to any ship that cannot show that it has insurance. And of course, those ships can only get insurance if they're selling off under 60. And that's one way Turkey is participating in this idea that the oil traveling through the Bosphorus straits, that is the oil coming from Russia into the Mediterranean, can only be oiled that is sold for $60 or less. Of course, the whole $60 or less is a bit of a cop-out, right, because $60 still provides the Russian economy with significant revenue because $60 Russian oil is still profitable. It's still profitable to Russia. We're talking about something like $20 billion a month of oil profits that even with this cap, I think what happened was that the United States and Europe were afraid to cap it at, let's say, 40 and force Russia off the oil market. So this is the compromise, right? One hand, should we fund our enemy? The enemy that is invaded a country? The enemy that is clearly working against our interest? Or do we want oil prices to go up a lot because Russian oil will be off the market and that will hood our economy? So what we've done typical modern world is we will reduce their profits but still give them some and we will hood our economy with just a little bit. So compromise. Sellout is more like it and emboldens Putin to just keep going instead of getting Putin to completely capitulate. There was one other point I wanted to make about oil and I mean what will be interesting about the $60 cap is if oil prices start going up, oil prices so far as I predicted have gone down because of fear of recession. During recessions, demand for oil goes down, oil prices have gone down. China eliminating or reducing or loosening its zero-COVID policy might cause oil prices to go up a little bit as oil prices go up, that $60 becomes a bigger and bigger discount relative to world prices but the Russians are still incentivized to sell even at $60 because some profit is better than no profit and they need the money in order to fund a crumbling economy and a devastated economy that has very little sources of revenue other than selling natural resources. All right, I think that's all I wanted to say about oil. All right, let's see what was the other... Oh, QAnon. Kind of an interesting story, I haven't read a lot about this, but yesterday a German police, German authorities arrested at least 25 people in Germany. Authorities said that these people were involved in a QAnon-inspired plot to overthrow the German government. The group was planning a violent attacks on government institutions including Germany's parliament and began organizing in November of 2021. So this is hard to tell what exactly is going on there, how serious this is, how armed they were, but obviously German authorities felt the threat was legitimate enough to arrest 25 people. I didn't realize that QAnon was kind of a global phenomena. I certainly knew that Germany had a share of wacky right-wing nuts. I guess it has a history of that, and it's... There you go, it's kind of sad that these right-wing nuts, QAnon nuts are now in a position where they can really... They're getting weapons and they're threatening government institutions. Just one quick additional item. I think I said this yesterday, but the Trump Organization, the Trump Organization, not Trump or his family, has been found guilty of 17 counts of falsifying records and tax fraud. This is after the CFO was basically thrown to the sharks, so it's funny how the organization was indicted, the CFO ultimately pled guilty to tax fraud, and the CFO will spend time in jail. I'm not sure the organization itself will have to pay fines, but it's an interesting, the Donald Trump and his family weren't even charged in the case. They weren't even charged in the case. Even though this involves their organization. It doesn't just bear their name, it's their organization.  This is tax fraud, and the CFO didn't even try to fight it because it's clear what it actually was. So, you know, every time you go after a politician for something that they did that is bad, it's political retribution, then forget about a system of government. That's bullshit, and it's more knee-jerk, my tribe versus their tribe kind of response. It's interesting that I haven't covered this story yet, but I will. It's interesting that there is the Court of Appeals where Trump appealed this whole FBI monologue confidential papers case. He appealed it, it was appealed to an appellate court, a three-member appellate court, those three members, two of them, Republicans appointed by Donald Trump. God, you should read their decision.  They cited unequivocally with the FBI and with the National Archives, Trump appointees time and time and time again have shown that they're willing to stand for the rule of law and not just vote partisan politics. And I've said many times that I think the legal system, our court system is the healthiest part of our government right now because it seems that the court system is the least tribal of all of them. It's the least tribal of all of them. It's the most respectful of the rule of law, the most respectful of actual facts and reality. All right, let's see. Let's do some super chat. We're at about halfway in terms of raising the $250 that we try to raise every show to keep these going. So I appreciate those of you who've already contributed to the super chat. Hopefully we'll get some more contributions so we can get to the $250. You don't have to have to question. You can do like Vladimir, Vladimir, thank you Vladimir, who just did a sticker and a contribution so you can do that. I know some of you can't afford a lot of money, so anything you contribute is greatly appreciated. But the fact is that every person right now watching the show puts in a buck, a buck 20, a dollar 20 cents, we will reach our goal easily. So actually all you need is, yeah, anyway. So, you know, as a response to Mike Plea, I guess people will see if people do it. All right, Andrew, Andrew asks, what is your variation of Mike Pence? Do you think he has integrity? No, I don't think Mike Pence has integrity. I think Mike Pence is a sellout. I think Mike Pence is not a good guy, not an honest guy. I think he's another one of these power-lusting politicians. He just doesn't have the personality to ever be successful, particularly at it. Remember Mike Pence was Donald Trump's vice president. He agreed to that. He stuck with Donald Trump for four years. He's been very slow to condemn Trump on things that needed condemnation. He told the party line with the one exception on January 6th, which would have required complete brainless nobody. Who knows what would have happened if Mike Pence had followed Trump's advice? Clearly that wouldn't have been upheld by Supreme Court. Clearly Trump would have been out of the White House and Mike Pence would have been disgraced for the whole of eternity. So the fact that he did the right thing at the last minute, yippee, he did the wrong thing for four years by backing up a president that did not deserve and was not qualified to be president any one of those days and should have been impeached twice. So I'm not a fan of Mike Pence's. Oh, I'll just add, I wasn't a fan even before he was chosen of his P, because Mike Pence is super religious. I mean, not a little bit, but super religious committed to religion. The reason Trump took him is because of Mike Pence's reputation in the evangelical movement as being this super committed to religion guy. So I do not think he deserves as much credit as he's been given for what he did on January 6th. I think that was like anybody would have done that, anybody except Trump. And I mean, look, remember how many Trump administration people resigned that day or the day after? I mean, he didn't take much to realize what Trump was doing was was was a nutty, anti-constitutional and horrible.  Matthew says, have you met Peter Bogosian? No, I have not. Do you have an evaluation of him? And have you seen his street epistemology experiments? I've not seen a street epistemology experiment. Sounds kind of interesting. I'll look into it.  You know, again, he's very good at criticizing Woke and very good at showing the absurdities of the modern left, of the crazy left in academia. He's been excellent at that. I think his leaving his university was very courageous. Of course, he found a job at the University of Austin and I think is one of their first instructors. He seems like basically a good guy. I haven't seen what he proposes in terms of the positive, what he actually stands for. We know what he stands against and good for him for standing up and having the courage to stand against all that. But I'm curious in terms of what his positive values and what he stands for. But I'm curious about this street epistemology thingy. All right, thanks for all the $20 questions now. We're making a study to really make a dent. We're down to only $80 required, you know, to get to our goal. So four, another $420 questions that were done unless again somebody wants to step in and just get us there. James says, unrelated, I just thought of this. If a pregnant woman is on her way to the abortion clinic and is murdered and the killer didn't know she was pregnant when he killed her, should he be charged with two counts of homicide or one? You know, I don't know and I don't think it's that important. A count of one homicide is enough to, I think, send you to jail for the rest of your life or worse. I don't know if adding on a homicide should matter in a real justice system. He didn't know she was pregnant. It doesn't matter. She didn't want the fetus. So I don't know and it doesn't really matter. I don't really care. You can do it either way. I could argue either way. I could argue really either way because you could argue he didn't know and she didn't want it or you could argue it doesn't matter. She was pregnant. There was a potential life there and he destroyed it. But I don't think you treated, in any cases, you treated it as a full human being. All right, because it's not. All right, let's see. Debbie, I'm loving these morning news roundup shows. Thank you, Debbie. A great way to stay informed by insightful and rational analysis of current events delivered by someone who shares my values. Thank you. I really appreciate that. And we'll keep going as long as there's support for these. We'll keep going. David Arsenaugh has the right idea, right? If everybody watching the show right now does what David Arsenaugh just did, which is $2 on $2, then we'll get to the goal quickly. We're just, thanks, Noel. Noel says I'm a fan of your book. He's a super rational. He's a super rational. Good morning, Noel. Thank you, Noel. $50 Canadian dollars. That helps a lot. Get us to where we need to get. And so we are, let's see, we're only $29 away from our goal. So hopefully somebody will do $30 and we'll get there. Okay. John says, I've been horrified by comments on social media regarding Zelensky being named man of the usual. U.S. is sending billions to Ukraine instead of helping people here. He's a crook, et cetera. What do you make of this? Well, it's, you know, both the right and the left at extremes are fans of Putin. They like Putin. They like authoritarianism. For the right, Putin represents manhood. He represents a tough guy. He represents, you know, I don't know if you saw this, but Russia just passed a law banning all depictions of gay, of homosexuality and all kinds of other stuff, all manifestations of homosexuality. So they're tightening their anti-gay laws significantly, which the right loves and the right thinks is fantastic. And then the left hates America and hates the West is therefore, you know, friendly towards anybody who stands up to the West and stands up to America. And therefore they support Putin as well. Plus, Putin is, you know, you could argue as a kind of socialist and they love authoritarianism. So both left and right, both people on the left and right love Putin. They therefore hate anybody who's standing in the way. And then the other aspect of it is they hate the U.S. And therefore anybody that is an ally of the U.S., anybody the U.S. allies with is infected by this hatred. So they hate Ukraine. Why? Because it's an ally of the U.S. Because fundamentally they hate the U.S. And that's true of the right and the left. Both are, you know, both right and left are, at the right, at the far right, far left, are anti-U.S., fundamentally anti-everything to do with America and pro some forms of authoritarianism. And therefore pro-Putin. So I don't get excited by it. You know, it's, and by the way, I include on the far right some of these paleo-libertarians who are pro-Putin and anti-Ukraine. They are, they invented America hatred and America bashing, starting with Marie Rothbard. So I despise all those guys. So, yeah, you know, I think Zelinski is fantastic. I think he's a real hero. I think he's the only politician that I know of in the last, I don't know, 20, 30 years, and I might be, you know, maybe you can point out that I've mistaken here who I could consider a hero. There's no other politician out there that I would consider heroic, not one of them. All right, Jennifer, thank you. Really appreciate the support. Let's see. Okay, we've got a bunch of $5 and $10 questions. We're only $25 short of reaching our goal. So it would be, it would be great if somebody stepped in. All right, let's see. Michael says, in pure Japan is what happens when people actually take Yom Chazoni's ideas seriously. Well, not just in pure Japan. I think ultimately Putin's Russia and Oguan's Turkey and, you know, Oban's Hungary. I think when Yom Chazoni's ideas are taken seriously, you get a rise in nationalism across the board, in pure Japan being won. I ultimately think that Yom Chazoni's ideas in terms of nationalism necessitate, in some countries, necessitate a move towards kind of the fascism of the Nazis. All authoritarian regimes who plant the flag of fascism in the name of states, are nationalists in the sense that Yom Chazoni would like to distance himself from, but it's a logical implication of everything he stands for. Even though I think he himself is horrified by that, but it is. You don't get to make your own definitions. How did the Japanese not think they would wipe out for doing what they did? Did they think by the time the U.S. retaliated, its navy and Japanese Empire would be too entrenched and movable? Oh, they thought they were invincible. They thought the gods won their side. They thought they were going to win this. They had basically stomped all over Asia with no opposition. They had gone from victory to victory. They thought America was weak. They thought America was a paper tiger and might actually cut a deal. They were convinced of their own invincibility, just like the Nazis were, just like ultimately the communists were. The bad guys are convinced that they will win and they can win, and nobody can stop them. It's part of being an authoritarian blinds you to reality. That's why you become authoritarian, and it's part of that blindness, that blindness of the blindness to reality, to the damage this is doing to yourself and by implication and the fact that free countries are far more powerful than authoritarian companies. They don't learn that from history. They don't think in those terms, so yeah, they were convinced they were going to win, just like Hitler was convinced he was going to win. To the last minute, I think he was convinced he was going to win somehow. I mean, again, they're mystics. All authoritarian, ultimately, are mystics. Andrew, thank you Andrew, got us $2, $2 away from the goal. Andrew says, I will, I try not to spend all my money this early in the day, but what the heck? I'll skip lunch. Don't skip lunch. Why can't you stand listening to Netanyahu?  He is a manipulative lying politician. One of the best I've ever seen. But, you know, so he says stuff, and it's great stuff, particularly when he's being interviewed in the US or when he's interviewed in English. He says stuff and it's really, really, really good stuff. And I know he doesn't mean a frigging word of it. I know that he'll contradict it tomorrow in the policy that he passes in the government. He'll contradict it tomorrow in what he says in Hebrew. He'll contradict it tomorrow in how he governs. I mean, Netanyahu wrote one of the best books ever written on terrorism and how to deal with terrorists. And as soon as he became Prime Minister, within months, he negated everything he wrote in the book by basically being chummy and making a deal with Yasser Arafat, who in the book he said you can't make deals with. You know, in his interviews he talks about the founding fathers and he's inspired by Madison and he's inspired by this and inspired by that. You can't see that in the way he governs Israel. You can't see that in his complete capitulation to the theocrats in Israel. He's not better. He's worse than the alternative. He's absolutely worse than the alternative. There's no realm in which Netanyahu's better. He's not better on foreign policy. Basically, everybody in Israel agrees on foreign policy. In foreign policy, there is no left in Israel anymore. And he's not better in economics. He's basically run Israel for, I don't know, two decades now, almost 13, 14, 15 years. And he's done no new liberal move from an economic perspective. Others are far more likely to move the country in a free market direction in Netanyahu. He's proven he won't do it. And he's worse than the others in a sense that he's completely put aside every other policy issue because he's not differentiable. You can't differentiate him from his opponents politically. The only major issue in which you can differentiate them is he is willing to give the ultra-orthodox and the ultra-nationalists everything that they want. He is committed to providing the ultra-orthodox religious Jews in the parliament with a commitment that their kids not serve in the Israeli army, even though everybody else's kids serve in the Israeli army, is an exemption based on religion. And he's willing to heavily, heavily subsidize. There is no peace now in Israel. Peace now didn't even make it into the parliament. Peace now, which is merits, got so few votes, they didn't even make it into parliament. There is no left when it comes to foreign affairs in Israel. The left does not exist. There is a center and right. That's it. And Bibi is in the center. He's not even right when it comes to foreign affairs. He's lost two wars to Hamas. He lost the war to Hezbollah. There is zero value here. Zero value. I've said this in past shows. Israelis have figured out that compromising with the Palestinians only leads to more bloodshed. They figured that out and they won't vote for political parties that are radical in the sense that they vote for those parties. Netanyahu is another thing. He subsidizes the ultra-religious so that the men don't have to work. The men study all day. They pray all day. The women work and they get subsidies from the government. So he's basically a welfare theocrat. And it's disgusting what they're doing in Israel right now. It's disgusting the people they're putting in the government. It's disgusting who they're giving power to. It's much more horrific than the alternative power base. Indeed, many of the parties running against Netanyahu and who won't be in his government are people who used to be with Netanyahu in the same political party whose political views on almost everything is the same. But who refuse to completely capitulate to the worst theocrats in Israel today. All right. Let's see. Liam says, where is Alex Epstein's interview with Jordan Peterson? I can't find it. I bet Alex could get him to have you on. Don't be so pessimistic. You know, these bets are meaningless. I don't think Alex could help get me on anybody. They have to want to have me on. And Jordan Peterson knows who I am and people have asked me to have me on and he's clearly decided not to have me on. We'll see. Hopefully that'll change. I don't see. Alex's interview with Jordan Peterson, or Jordan Peterson's interview with Alex, however you want to, has not been released yet. Jordan Peterson will release it in the coming days, weeks. Hopper Campbell says, do your parents and siblings even know how famous you become? Do they not quite understand what you do and how you make a living? Have I become that famous? They get a broad sense that I'm pretty famous, but I don't know that I'm as famous as maybe you think I am. Hopper Campbell also says, didn't Ayn Rand believe FDR knew it? Was going to happen and let it occur just to enter the war? How come all our aircraft carriers were out of the harbor that day? I don't think they were out of the harbor for that reason. But yes, Ayn Rand thought that FDR knew and he welcomed it because he knew that the only way the American people would enter the war is... the only way the American people would enter the war was if America was attacked first. So he basically egged the Japanese to attack us because he wanted to enter the war. Okay, Gayle Canada is a fine tea land vastly underdeveloped. I hope something changes. The precious minerals, chips, tax and energy industries can be developed and traded with the U.S. I hope so. I mean, I don't understand why we don't have a complete 100% free trade zone with Mexico and Canada, not NAFTA. Just all countries committing to lower tariffs to zero. That would be amazing and I think all three countries would prosper dramatically. Frank says, what was the role of oil exports that led up to Pearl Harbor attack? How could this be a colossal and intelligent disaster? Part of the issue was not oil exports. The United States put an embargo on steel on Japan, which I think was the right thing to do. I'm not sure Ein Rand agreed with me, but agrees with me. And as a consequence, the idea was, this is Ein Rand's interpretation, FDR was doing anything to Japan to try to pin them in a corner and try to force them to attack the United States. He wanted them to attack the United States. It was a colossal intelligence failure. Part of it was that people didn't believe the intelligence that was, there was some intelligence that suggested this was happening, but the analysis wasn't there. Again, if you believe FDR wanted this to happen, maybe he suppressed the intelligence. Lee, thank you Lee for 20 pounds. Under UK law, all children must receive a suitable full-time education. My friend argues that without this law, bad parents would not send their kids to school. Thus making the law good, please, can you refute this? I mean, he's right. There was a certain percentage, I think a very, very, very tiny percentage, of parents that would not send their kids to school if you didn't have this law. I think there are all kinds of ways to deal with that. What would the kids do is one question. I don't think anybody would employ them even if you didn't have child labor laws. Children are just not very productive. So I don't think they could work for living. So what would the children do? I think neighbors and other people, communities, would put a lot of pressure on parents to send their kids to school, partially because these kids would become a menace in their community running around uneducated. So I think there are social ways in which we can force them. But the point is that kids belong, not in the ownership sense, but in the sense of responsibility, to their parents.  And as long as they don't physically abuse them, the state has no business. I agree. Some parents, a very, very tiny number of parents, probably wouldn't send their kids to school. Although I think a lot of kids would want to go to school and go to school voluntarily.   And we have to embrace that.  Equal to reality. Thank you for the support. Commit Tija. I should talk. I just call you Bischak. Bischak is easier. Thank you. Catherine. Mendez. Thank you. We passed our goal, so thank you to all of you. Caleb says, have you seen Heather Haying's resignation letter from the University of Austin? Personally, I thought it was very good. No. I need to look for that. That sounds like an important story. So I will look for that. Thank you, Caleb. And M. Puru says, cheers from Denver. Thank you, M. Puru. All right, everybody. Went way too long, much longer than I wanted, I think, because of the super chats. Thanks, everybody. We made our goal. And I will see you all tomorrow morning. Have a great rest of your Wednesday.  You're still getting value from the show. Value for value. Please consider becoming monthly supporters of the Unbook show at a, you know, $2,500, $250 monthly contribution. That would be fantastic. We really need to get the monthly revenues up. Thanks, guys.

If you are curious, if you may have some autism spectrum traits that someone missed, I'll have some online screening tools listed in the description and they're freely available. If you score high on any of the tools and your symptoms or manifestations are causing problems for you in your work, school, relationships or with your ability to feel mentally well, then you should see a professional, preferably a therapist or psychiatrist, who has experience diagnosing and treating ASD. Yeah, you want to try and find someone who is like, who actually knows what they're doing. Like, you're taking a gamble going through general healthcare and it is quite expensive to go for private diagnosis, but I picked up on what she said, don't be trying to diagnose yourself from people from the internet. I think she's making a little bit of a nod to self-diagnosis, which I understand, you know, as a professional, a medical person, whatever kind of sort of doctor it she has, makes sense that she would have that approach to things. I think it's a little bit kind of, it's not really factoring in like how much autistic people can can help in that process as well. I'd really consider both going through this route, doing those tasks if you want to, and also talking to autistic people and learning from autistic people. You can do both. You should do both. We have this one here from Dr. Tracey Marx. I think I've reviewed one of her videos before. Very big YouTuber, 1.5 million subscribers. Wow, that's a lot. Wish I could get up to that, to that level of subscriptions. Man. I don't think I was very happy with the last one, but she's a medical person, so she has a lot of medical terminology and stuff. It's not always including parts of the autistic community within the video, but we'll see. This is Dr. Tracey Marx, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, ADHD, versus autism, how to tell the difference. A lot of co-occurringness between ADHD and autism. Tell the difference between autism spectrum disorder, ASD, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, ADHD. That's what I'm talking about today. I'm Dr. Tracey Marx, a psychiatrist, and I make mental health education videos. Today's question is based on several viewer questions asking me to talk about this. ADHD and autism are neurodevelopmental disorders. Neurodevelopmental means that they start early in childhood and affect how your brain grows and functions. Examples of neurodevelopmental disorders include ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, or ASD, an intellectual developmental disorder, and learning disorders. I don't know. Does psychopathy feel like a neurodevelopmental thing? It's definitely a genetic thing. I don't know if you can consider it neurodevelopmental, though. I guess it kind of is. It is common if you have one to have another one. In fact, there's a high prevalence with autism spectrum who also have ADHD. The reverse is not as common for people with ADHD to also have ASD. But people with ADHD can have features of autism spectrum without having the complete disorder. Both disorders are highly genetic, meaning the genes from them are passed down through families. Before comparing the two disorders, let's look at autism spectrum disorder. ASD is a spectrum disorder because there are many features of it. The features can be grouped into two categories, problems with social communication and relating to others, and restricted, repetitive patterns of behaviors, interests, or activities. This is the category that includes being hyper or hypo reactive to sensory experiences. Usually not termed as hypo or hypo reactive, it's hypo or hypersensitive. Here's another way of looking at the symptoms on a spectrum. Going from left to right, you have language, which is social communication skills such as body language, eye contact, and small talk just to name a few skills. Then there is social awareness, which is the ability to read the room, pick up and follow social norms like saying hello to someone who walks up to you. Next is narrow interest. This is a tendency to narrowly and intensely focus on a niche interest and have trouble shifting tasks or activities. Also called monotropism. You haven't seen that before. Just watch earlier in the stream or catch one of one of the clips that go out. Very interesting video from I'm Autistic, what now? Information processing is the ability to learn new information and apply it to different situations. Sensory processing is a person's response to sensory input like sounds, smells, tastes and textures. Some people can be hyper reactive to certain sensory inputs and hypo reactive to others. Repetitive behaviors is a tendency to stem in response to different emotions. Stimming refers to self stimulation behaviors like hand flapping, rocking or blinking. The last column is neuro motor. The repetitive aspects of it can also be perhaps a little bit more akin to routine as well, I would say. Like the restrictive, because it's restrictive behaviors and thinking. So routine would definitely come under that. It refers to the ability to control your motor movements. And this can range from being clumsy to having little control over intentional movements, including bowel and bladder control. A person can have a range of different functioning in all of these categories such that some categories may not be as affected as much as others. So in each of these areas, the person with autism spectrum disorder has something going on that is divergent from what is considered standard. If you think of these columns as a slot machine, you pull the handle and it turns each column to a different level of function. So each pull of the handle can turn up a different presentation of the disorder, which is why everyone with ASD is unique. For example, let's look at the language column. One person may not be verbal at all, but is able to pick up on social cues. Whereas another person can communicate, but tends to miss social cues and interrupt people when they're talking. Yes. A third person may also be verbal and communicative. The interrupting one talking I think is a lot more to do with processing than interrupting. I mean, some people do like just cut people off, but I'd say that is more of like a compensation for not being able to know like, or knowing time like when is your time to speak, etc. But has trouble interpreting sarcasm and metaphors. For that person, for optimal communication, they need you to be clear and use direct words. There's a lot of overlap between ASD and ADHD. The person who only has ADHD may have a few of these features, but not all. The person with ASD will have a functional change in all of the areas to some degree, and they may or may not have problems with attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. I mean, she's referring to a lot of these things in terms of functioning. I would say that using the characterization of differences would be a little bit more applicable, because they've done studies on it. The social differences that we have are not always just apparent to be just our issue because they're very much dependent on the norms that are around us. And sometimes, well, I mean, there's studies on it, like autistic people communicating with each other, they tend to do pretty well. When it comes to interacting between the neurotypes, it tends to be difficult. I've talked about it quite a bit before, so I won't go into it too much, but let's continue. Which are problems that come along with ADHD. Let's look at some of the overlapping symptoms between ADHD and ASD. And this analysis is not all inclusive, as this is a very big topic with a lot of subtleties. So to keep it simple, I'll be covering the major areas. People with ADHD and ASD both have executive dysfunction, like being oblivious to time, emotional dysregulation, and trouble getting things started. Is emotional regulation part of executive dysfunction? I don't think so, maybe. The executive function aspect of it is, I think, a lot to do with transitional difficulties, as well as managing lots and lots of different things. I think the idea of time blindness happens a lot more for autistic people, because we tend to get really hyper-focused on things. And when you are in that state of flow, that kind of flow state that's talked a lot about in the working world, you do lose your sense of time a little bit more. Both people with ADHD and ASD also have trouble picking up on social cues, but for different reasons. The ADHD person may miss social cues because of trouble paying attention to the entire conversation or hijacking the conversation topic by interrupting and going off on a tangent. On the other hand, the person with ASD may have social interaction problems, because they don't understand the subtext messages from body language, or they may get overwhelmed with the sensory demands of chit-chatting. That's a very, very good sort of important point there. I'd say that is one of the biggest differences. I do know some people who are just ADHD, and they do zone out of conversations when I'm speaking, or they'll hijack the conversation and take it on a crazy tangent. Sometimes that happens. I've experienced that.  I mean, if you watch the podcast with any of the ADHDers, not all of them, of course, because everyone's different and everyone has grown in various different ways and different contexts and understood themselves a bit better. But some people that I have talked to, it tends to go that way. It's very, very difficult sometimes when you're trying to interview someone. Also, the person or if the person thinks very literally, they may miss important social signals or subtle messages. You can see the difference in the reasoning behind the problems, even though the end result is similar. Self-stimulation is another overlapping trait that anyone can use to reduce anxiety or to help with focus, but it's used more consistently in people with ASD. Sometimes people can mistake stemming behavior for hyperactivity, like shaking your legs or feet under a desk or fidgeting. The difference comes from the reason behind the activity. The person with ADHD may fidget to help them focus, even though it may be also calming and soothing. The person with ASD, if asked, will usually tell you that something in the environment is making them uncomfortable and they need to fidget to feel better. A good sort of deviation, I suppose. I mean, when we were looking at the video from I'm Autistic What Now on Autistic Monotropism, that was kind of one of the reasons why I sort of differed. I think she said that she might be ADHD, ADHD and Autistic. ADHD does do find that it helps them focus when they do those repetitive kind of stimming behaviors, but stimming is used as a self-soothing mechanism. That is the main thing about it, and it's not something that is totally ADHD and autism. Neurotypicals do it too. We just tend to get overstimulated a lot easier. We also have different sensory profiles, meaning that some of our senses can be under-stimulated, and so being able to stimulate them is good, just like a feedback mechanism for us. It helps us get that input. Or the behavior can be so automatic that they can't always tell you that there's something bothering them. They just need to do the behavior. Also, with ASD, it's usually not random fidgeting, like clicking a pen top or doodling. It tends to be more intense with a repetitive pattern like rocking, a difference. And specific as well. If you have a stim, tend to do that stim a lot. It tends to be particular things that you do. It's not necessarily like kind of hyperactivity. I need to do something and fidget. It's not fidgeting, I would say. Between ADHD and ASD is, with ADHD, you seek out novel and new experiences, and you can become bored with routine, but with ASD, you're comforted by familiarity and routine. Both of these disorders show some signs in childhood because of how they affect brain development, but both disorders may not be diagnosed until adulthood, especially if your symptoms were manageable for you to get by without professional help. This is a really interesting part because this video is about how to tell the difference between the two, but because there is such an overlap, the ADHD experience is like a whole different kind of kettle of fish. If you can imagine someone who is comforted by routine, but also wants to constantly break out of that routine, it's going to be very, very difficult to keep yourself grounded and keep feeling happy and okay. I'm also the type of person who I do like my routine, but I also do go through phases of wanting to kind of break out and try new things and experience new things and break out of that routine. That is definitely something that happens to me. It's not like I just want to do the same thing over and over every day of the rest of my life. I actually do have time set aside to be impulsive, especially on the weekends. I'll set myself a couple of days where I'll be like, okay, I don't really have a set routine. I don't necessarily feel bad about that. It's kind of like setting a routine to have no routine. You give yourself impulsivity time. I don't know if I am ADHD or ADD as well as being autistic. It's not something that I've fully explored, but I also find routine boring sometimes. It really helps me and so I try and keep it up. It's important to me. Of the inattentive form of ADHD without hyperactivity, you may not come to the attention of teachers because you don't pose discipline problems, but you may be underperforming with Cs and Ds just enough to pass your classes. Sadly, no one questions if you are capable of more because maybe they've put you in the lazy poor effort category and just let you flounder. It's not until you have more serious problems like keeping up with work or feeling emotionally unstable that you seek professional help. I talk about some of the ways that ADHD can look different in adults in this video. As for autism spectrum, the symptoms appear when children aren't meeting their developmental milestones like they're still wearing a diaper in first grade or have social communication problems or intense meltdowns from sensory overload. These children will usually come to the attention of a pediatrician or maybe a child therapist to be evaluated and diagnosed early, but without obvious problematic behaviors, you may go undetected or undiagnosed until adulthood. That goes for both ADD, ADHD and autism, especially women on the autism side of things. With ASD, one of the problems with getting diagnosed is the variability in the presentations and doctors aren't trained as well to notice the subtle signs. Also, standard medicine focuses more on pathology than wellness. So even if your doctor notices that you have a different speech pattern and you obsess about things and need to self-soothe in response to certain sounds, all things suggesting ASD, your doctor still may not intervene unless these behaviors are causing problems for you like keeping up with the job or forming relationships. 100%. I bring that back to one of the posts that I did recently. I posted it on YouTube, I also posted it on Instagram. Doctors don't diagnose you for your identity, they diagnose problems. If you don't have a problem, they won't be picked up, they won't put you forward for a diagnosis. That's an issue because you're basically just waiting for that person to have a problem. They usually do. It's usually like in the mid-20s, early, late 20s in that range. That's when things tend to be a problem for people who are different. Things catch up to them, something bad happens and they can't cope and spirals and then they need to pour and sometimes they don't get it, sometimes they don't consider autism and they really should have. It's important to identify and I wish doctors were a little bit more proactive in that sense. Another way ASD can go unaddressed is if you have one of the common comorbid disorders that can accompany ASD like social anxiety, depression, OCD or even complex trauma. If you do struggle with any of these, chances are your doctor will treat you for those problems and not screen you for ASD. I don't recommend trying to diagnose yourself based on learning things on the internet. However, if you are curious, if you may have some autism spectrum traits that someone missed, I'll have some online screening tools listed in the description and they're freely available. If you score high on any of the tools and your symptoms or manifestations are causing problems for you in your work, school, relationships or with your ability to feel mentally well, then you should see a professional, preferably a therapist or psychiatrist, who has experience diagnosing and treating ASD. Yeah, you want to try and find someone who is like, actually knows what they're doing. Like you taking a gamble going through general health care and it is quite expensive to go for private diagnosis, but I picked up on what she said, don't be trying to diagnose yourself from people from the internet. I think she's making a little bit of a nod to self diagnosis, which I understand, you know, as a professional, a medical person, whatever kind of sort of doctor she has, makes sense that she would have that approach to things. I think it's a little bit kind of, it's not really factoring in like how much autistic people can can help in that process as well. I'd really consider both going through this route, doing those tasks, if you want to, and also talking to autistic people and learning from autistic people. You can do both, you should do both. You can tell them you took an online screen and scored high and you're looking to see what options there are for getting help. If you print out the results, you can have some good talking points for the clinician. And if they don't think that you have the disorder, they can explain the discrepancy between your answers and their clinical impression, and they can help you understand why they don't think you have the disorder. If you want more on... Yeah, and you should really press them if they come up with some BS excuse. If they don't understand what masking is, like make sure they understand what masking ask them. Do you understand what masking is? And I didn't get like a good explanation of it.  You know, ask them about these really kind of key points, key light factors in autism that you know a lot of them don't know. If they turn you away just because you make a lot of eye contact and you're masking, they're not competent. Just because they have certain letters to their name, perhaps perhaps practical experience as well, does not mean that they are competent. It varies very much, very much person to person in these fields. And it's a very subjective thing to get an autism diagnosis. A lot of the aspects of it is quite subjective, actually. ADHD, watch my playlist that includes adult ADHD and emotional dysregulation, a more detailed explanation of executive dysfunction, and what happens in the brain that causes people to have low motivation. I also have a skills management playlist teaching you techniques for time management and finishing tasks. Thanks for watching. See you next time. So that was Dr. Tracey Marks' attention deficit hyperactivity disorder versus autism. I had to tell the difference. Pretty box down the video. I thought she'd go a little bit more in detail with that. She kind of gave an overview of autism and then gave an overview of ADHD and then like presented like a couple of things. I was hoping that there'd be a bit more to delve into.


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we discussed the following question it says draw a circle of radius 4 centimeters draw a tangent to the circle making an angle of 60 degrees with a line passing through the center. So here we have to draw a tangent to a circle of radius 4 centimeters such that that tangent makes an angle of 60 degrees with a line passing through the center. So let's see how we can do this construction. So first of all we'll draw a rough sketch of the figure to be drawn. So this is the figure where we have a circle with center o, cd is the tangent to the circle, ab is the line passing through the center of the circle. Now cd makes an angle of 60 degrees with the line passing through the center of the circle. So now when we join od we get this angle to be of measure 90 degrees since we know that the tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the line joining the center to the point of contact. So when we consider the triangle cod in this we have angle cod plus angle odc plus angle dco is equal to value 80 degrees. Now angle cod plus 90 degrees since angle odc is of measure 90 degrees plus angle dco which is a measure 60 degrees is equal to 180 degrees. So this gives us angle cod is of measure 30 degrees. So now we can easily do the construction. We'll do the construction step by step. So our first step would be draw a circle with center o and radius 4 centimeters. So this is the circle with center o and it has radius 4 centimeters. Finally next step draw a radius ob and produce it to x. So we have to produce this radius ob to x that is ob is the radius so it is of measure 4 centimeters. Mind the rough figure as we had found out angle cod equal to 30 degrees. So now our next step would be make angle bod equal to 30 degrees. So we have made the angle bod equal to 30 degrees. Now in the next step we have to draw dc perpendicular to od meeting o x at c. So we have drawn this dc perpendicular to od. Now when this angle is 90 degrees that is angle odc is 90 degrees angle doc is 30 degrees. So obviously this angle that is angle dco is of measure 60 degrees. So this dc is the tension which is making an angle of 60 degrees with the line passing through the center o. As we get dc is the required tangent making an angle of 60 degrees with the line passing through the center. So this completes our session. Hope you have understood the solution of this question.

And that's some of what you can look forward to right here on the private property podcast with myself as I'm doing on Kumailu. We will be announcing that lucky winner a bit later. In the meantime, I can see some of the love that we're getting on our Facebook page through Lusimania, sending those green hearts, playing on Gossi Gleid trend that do keep the love coming. This evening, we're going to be talking about some of the, you know, we're going to talk about a topic that I nerd out over quite a lot. We're looking at prop tip solutions for the real estate industry. I'm joined this evening by Gavin Musso and Levin Booth, both from Wealth Migrate, the CEO and the head of product. And this is something that, you know, many of you at home know every time you speak about prop tech and we don't do it often enough. I certainly always get excited. Gentlemen, good evening and thank you both for joining us on the show this evening. I thought it was great to be here. Thanks for having us. Good evening. I'm happy to be here. I think before we even start, and I'm going to start with you again. If you could probably just give us a nice overview of, you know, where South Africa's prop take will say advancement is, especially relative to some of the markets, you know, US, UK, Australia. Where would you say that we effectively are at? I think we're early on in our journey. We're doing quite well around the investment space. So we're actually doing a lot around the property investment space. Obviously, we do that. So that's the area that I'm quite well versed in. But added onto that, a lot of what you're getting out of some of the international arenas are like so much automation in terms of how you're able to run your property as an investor in an actual physical property, how you can automate your control and running of that, how you're collecting rents, those sorts of things. There's a lot of those solutions out there. I've started seeing a few more pop up here and there. I still think we're early days. There is people with a lot of funding internationally that are further along in their journey. I think, generally, the South Africans, we've got a spirit of we'll get it done somehow, the Bajoko by Kroka means. So we tend to catch up almost as an aside. And I actually want to bring you in because I love what Gavin has mentioned that sometimes the purpose of not being an early adopter is actually also able to just learn from what other people in other markets do. And I think that's actually more exciting. I always say, especially when we talk about this topic, that there's no reason why a bridge being built in South Africa, any part of the continent for that matter, should collapse because bridges have been built all over the world. It's not rocket science anymore. They knew and novel about building bridges. And I think in many ways, with some of the PropTech solutions, one could argue that we're somewhat on the same boat by the time they hit our shores. They're not going to be necessarily new. But I think what are some of the opportunities that you're seeing, especially for the local markets and given that we haven't adopted some of the technologies and systems that other colleagues and certainly some of our counterparts in other markets have already done? Great question. I think PropTech has to do more than just take an old way of doing something and put it onto the internet. It's actually got to revolutionize. It's got to change an industry to really, I think, earn that title of PropTech. Otherwise, all you've done is taken something you used to sign on a document by fax and now you're emailing it to putting it on an internet. That's not revolutionary for me. And I think that's where PropTech has the most potential is to change the game of how real estate works, how property management works, how property investment works. And I think that's where the opportunities in PropTech lie in South Africa as well. Enabling you and I to do something that we would never have been able to do before. And I think Gavin's right. I think Airbnb, if I can use a very stereotypical example, none of us used to easily be able to rent out a room in our house or rent out an investment property. The hotels had kind of a market on that. But because technology came along and made it easy for you and I to do that, the whole industry revolutionized. And I think the examples like that very much in the investment space and the space we play in, but also in, for example, student accommodation where you can do things that are much quicker, much more efficient. And therefore, you can do it at a lower transactional cost. In other words, in areas where the rentals are lower because you're not paying as much away to a manager or for fees or for advertising because the PropTech has brought that cost down, getting technology coming into these lower income spaces as well. So I think that's the key is does it revolutionize whatever market it's trying to plan? I'm this evening in conversation with Gavin Rousseau and Lyndon Booth from Mouth Migrage, looking at PropTech solutions for the real estate industry. And of course, we'll be taking your questions and comments this evening as we explore some of these. And I want to point out from your home, if there've been any PropTech solutions that you've seen on the market that you've really enjoyed and perhaps you've even started using some of them in your own property portfolio running your property business, what are they? We talk a lot about systemizing the way that you run your property business. Some people are more hands-on and lack trying on these different solutions. And others want to outsource as much as possible and have somebody else who uses those solutions to run their portfolio. No one weighs better than the other. It really does depend on the kind of investor that you are and how close you want to be to your property portfolio. Gavin, I want to point out from you of the solutions that we've seen in South Africa. I made a half a joke earlier when I was saying that there's no reason why a bridge should collapse that we build in the country or anywhere in the continent because it's not rocket science. The reality though is that we've seen quite a lot of PropTech players locally get burned, bring something onto the market and sometimes it fails very early on. Others, they fail after quite a significant amount of money. It's kind of gone into pumping up that particular startup and I'm not going to mention any names. With some of the ones that have not done significantly well, I can already tell you with some of them, I could tell early on that that was not going to succeed or not because it's necessarily a bad idea, but because it isn't addressing some of the fundamental pressure points that local property players have at the stage. Perhaps there are some of the mistakes that some of the players are making when it comes to bringing on solutions, wanting to copy and paste stuff from abroad, but not adapting it sufficiently to the local markets. I'll start with your example of we can't build a bridge that collapses because we know how to build bridges. There was quite a revolutionary bridge built not too long ago in a tiny little town called Ashton.  It was absolute work of art, beautiful. The way they've done it from an engineering perspective is phenomenal. Do I think it was entirely necessary to have done what they did? I don't know. That is not for me to say, but I'm not sure if you followed it at all. There was an element of them moving an entire bridge from one location to another over the course of two days. It's phenomenal. It's a first on the continent. We are able to be at the cutting edge even of an industry that has been around for a long time, as you say, building bridges. It's a small example, but it's great. In terms of the areas where people are potentially not doing well, we have particular needs. Again, I'll talk from our investment location, our investment space. A lot of our investors and the clients that we serve have a very particular need that they would like addressed. One of those needs is that they actually don't want to be two hands on. When you're putting together an investment property, in order to start an investment journey, you want it to be quick. You want it to be easy. You want it to be simple. I'm sure most of your listeners will be of the opinion that buying an investment property and then managing said investment property yourself is none of those things. That's actually really hard. To build tech around that, it's an incredibly difficult thing to do. I think it takes a lot of funding. It takes a lot of outreach to get a lot of people involved to make sure that it's effective and is actually addressing the needs of the people that need those needs addressed. It becomes reach. That's why most places aren't going to succeed, is if they're unable to get the required reach. You need to be able to speak to the people where they are, the way they understand, and they need to understand the value of what you're adding. I think the days of build it and they will come, that's gone now. There's no one believes in that anymore. You've got to build it quickly and make sure you can fail it quickly and make sure you can adapt it quickly. You can't get those right. You can't adapt to the needs of the market. I realise that was a really long answer to a very short question. I apologise. No apology needed at all. I like this idea of how you've differentiated. It boggles my mind that there are still people who have this type of perception and not just when it comes to project solutions in general, but also when it comes to the way that they go about developing that build it and they will come. Except we are now at a stage, if you look at how, for instance, bullish building is costing developers quite a significant amount of money. Building that isn't justified by really solid market analysis that says that this is where you ought to be building. This is how much you should be building. This is the type of property that you ought to be building. We're seeing a lot of sectional titles being built very bullishly and we're seeing them of course not getting sold. It's because they were not building in the best phases and sometimes some mixed-use developments, unfortunately, they were starting with the wrong type of property instead of starting with the different type that was going to generate the right kind of income before moving to the next asset type. Those are some of the things that I think are so crucial when it comes to managing our property portfolios and making data-driven decisions in your property portfolio and running your property business. In the meantime, I want to take a quick break. We're going to be coming back to this conversation, looking at property solutions, what we can look forward to and of course looking at after the break, going to looking at how then wealth migrate is different. We're talking about some of the players that have not done well in this field. They've been around for quite a significant period of time and have done quite well in making sure that they maintain really good books and their portfolios also them or rather they've managed to do quite significantly well. In the meantime, we're going to find out who the lucky winner of the, I think it's 500 rounds. We're back to 500 rounds in the money bag this evening is and if they're watching, they're of course going to be able to walk away with it and after the break, I'll also read through some of the great posts that you've received from your phone. Of course, that is the pinned post on our Facebook page. But in the meantime, let's see who the lucky winner is this evening. And the lucky winner this evening is Yolande Goussin Maree. That is Yolande Goussin Maree, the lucky winner of the 500 rounds that is in the money bag. Yesterday's winner Fatima Samju did claim the 1000 rounds that was in the money bag. So we've got 500 rounds. So Yolande Goussin Maree do make sure that you drop us a text down here below in order to claim your prize. I want to read through some of the great posts that we've received from some of you at home yesterday's winner. This is what she had to say. I highly recommend private property. It's my go to find property and advice. They're extremely reliable, professional, helpful, efficient and their website is simplified and easy to navigate. What's more is they have a fabulous team of experts who do a podcast every week night at 7pm, which is highly informative, inspiring and gives non-homeowners the courage to make the smart moves. I've learned so much and I notice and I continue to learn because of these live podcasts, which you can ask your questions on the platform. Thank you so much private property fan. Thank you very much there. That's Fatima Samju, who was the lucky winner yesterday. Another one from Sheldon Von Moran saying, you guys rock awesome.  That's why every single evening we say welcome to the family, to those of course who are watching us for the first time, because we like making sure that everybody's welcomed and of course is able to get as much value as possible. Omen is able to let's be saying it's been a full nine months with my two properties and I'm eternally grateful for encountering a platform such as private property to teach me everything that I still needed to know about property. I've learned how to deal with the delinquent tenant, but I've also learned to have how to be a better landlord and have been compromising here and there for the benefit of my tenant. I've learned how to make the most of the agent managing my second property and I'm enjoying the good returns. Menzi Mutilesi goes on to say, I've also learned not to be at the body corporate of the complex I stay in and I'm now empowered with the right tools to also keep them accountable. Things are finally starting to change in this complex. Private properties also help me grow my knowledge on deceased estates and that really brings peace of mind to a person with my kind of background. All in all the intimate the beast that is SARS is no longer as intimidating as I thought it would be all thanks to private property and the host is Amandam Akumailo as well as all the guests that come on to the show. Thank you so much there. Menzi Mutilesi for that quote of confidence you absolutely do enjoy it. Of course we want to make the property so called bigger so each and every single time that you are watching do make sure that you share the like so that those who are following you and your Facebook friends with them can also see that you are of course tuned in. Well continuing the conversation with Gavin Rousseau as well as Zindan Booth talking property solutions for the real estate industry. Gavin I'll come to you this time around I mean when you then look at wealth migrate what sits you apart from some of the players that we're even you're talking about earlier who come on to the scene and doesn't really fail and or sometimes just don't do as well as they probably anticipated they'd be able to do. Interesting one because it's attempting to define our key differentiator is we're allowing anyone that's our moniker we want anyone to be able to invest into international real estate. So our focus has not always been pure South African real estate but it's international real estate it's it's the ability to invest and own a fractionalization in a small part of a building in the US. I actually ended up joining this company because I was in New York looked at a building it's like wow it would be really nice to own some of that and the price point is you know you're starting at a few hundred thousand US dollars like wow that's it's completely out of the reach now it's within reach from a hundred dollars you can own a portion and you can as an investment you can receive the returns of that investment like you can start from a hundred dollars as you get more you can scale it up it's it's a great way to add on to your portfolio. And I think we mustn't underestimate then the different kinds of ways that you're able to grow your property portfolio you know some people will have actual bricks and mortar and even in the actual bricks and mortar it's different kinds of other properties that you will bring. Linda perhaps how should we be looking at we'll say the overall composition of our property you know portfolio and already we're touching on how it doesn't have to be one type of we'll call it asset class within real estate if anything it shouldn't be it really should be a nice mix so how do we go about you know to determine what that mix should ideally be. I'm a hundred percent and not only should it be what different asset classes but what currencies what countries institutional or you know commercial or residential in how about owning a piece of the Amazon building in Cape Town that may or may not be built on today's protest and I think and I think that's where you know we spoke earlier about the fact that PropTech is transformational it changes the entire game for everyone and I think that's what that's what platforms like ours do so my bet and some are prepared to take this bet with you publicly is that in a year from now and up until now a lot of the podcasts when we talk to property investors and their portfolio it's about for most of us what we think about is how can I buy my next small buy to let or my next small student house or my next you know it's very small residential you're trying your best you want to be a landlord when I think in about a year's time from now if not quicker you know maybe even on your show every second show is going to be which country should you be looking at today or whether you should be looking at a medical building or an industrial building even if you've only got a thousand grand to invest and I think that's where the excitement comes in because now someone who wants to grow their property portfolio might think they have to wait till they get that hundred thousand to put down in a small residential spot somewhere as a deposit and that's their only way into the game but because of a platform like ours you can literally with a thousand you know one thousand five hundred dollars you can be a direct shareholder alongside the funds the institutions the people with a lot of money at the same share level the same investment level getting the same returns they are in the medical building in the middle of New York City and you can do that from your phone or from your desktop in South Africa and I think that's the game changer this is why even within South Africa we are bringing the equivalent of the best institutional quality deals so whether it's the next V&A waterfront or the Amazon building or the next century city anyone sitting in their house no matter where they live will soon be able to buy a piece of that and you know you said earlier that form sources go and build the right things at the right time now I would like to piggyback on their work I don't have to want to try and make a mistake and build the wrong thing in the wrong place if they've got the expertise and the knowledge how to build the next century city I want to be a piece of that piggybacking on them but investing at the same level as the Oppenheimers for example and that's where our platform and platforms like ours are making a difference so my prediction is that literally in six months to a year from now the conversation when we are talking about the everyday real estate investor is no longer going to be purely about what apps should I use to manage my tenants better or how can I become a better landlord that's going to be should I be going into Amazon and Cape Town or office block in New York and I think that's where this game becomes exciting because now as Gavin said everyone can start behaving and investing and building a diversified real estate portfolio actual real estate physical real estate around the world and actually add a lot cheaper than your entrance level used to be when you only had one option of buying a small residential and that's where we're excited. Taking your questions and comments at home on our Facebook page Prince Jones will tell you as he you know asks and I'm going to put a spin on his question I'm going to give it to Gavin you ask any reputable offshore companies to invest in as there are a lot of scammers out there the spin I want to put in because I also don't want us to start naming different companies but how should we or how can we spot some of the companies that are scamming because as principle points out there are quite a lot I mean I've seen quite a lot kind of spring up particularly during this COVID period so in the last 18 months to two years what are some of the ways that we can check if some of these you know companies are indeed reputable and whether they're doing offshore investments or even property investments because I think a lot of property investment companies that have also come up have been saying that they're going to give people all kinds of crazy you know returns we even spoke about this yesterday and we know that that isn't particularly particularly reputable so how can we you know disown and figure out whether a company is indeed credible or not especially when you're not dealing with the big things because you know with the big guys you kind of know that they're credible they've been around for a long period of time but you're really not dealing with sort of medium tier and perhaps some of the new entrants into into the game yeah it's there's an old adage of specifically on the returns thing if it's too good to be true probably is so we don't promise crazy returns we can't like we've been mad to like we'd be holed up as a scam immediately which is only too right so our returns are solid and we've got a track record like quite a long track record of delivering those however we are not a property property investment company this is the very important part of the differentiator we make is that for us we're providing our in our members an opportunity to invest in property with reputable sponsors so the people who are actually working on the deals you're investing with them not through another company your investment is directly through them and here's the very brief insight into how we decide who we're going to work with and they need to have been around for 10 years at the absolute bare minimum and they need to have quite a large amount of collective experience in their development teams like in their teams that are actually making the decisions they need to be experienced we don't where we are right now we would rather invest with the safe reputable people than the the people who are they're new they're just starting out it's not because we don't believe in them it's that we need to protect our members as best we can but yeah I agree they there are a lot of flyby nights out there and it is really hard the basics are just if too much is promised you want to do a hell of a lot more investigation into it sorry Linda I saw you wanted to add on to that yeah I do if you don't mind that I want to jump in I think they're two very important things firstly is if something is financially regulated you're probably likely to get a much bigger deal better it's more trustworthy than if it's operating in an unregulated space in South Africa our platform was 100% regulated by the South African financial services regulator and I think that's really important the second the second aspect to that is if I'm going to try and sell you shares in my company and I'm on a listed exchange like the New York Stock Exchange or the South African Stock Exchange you already know that that stock exchange has done immense amount of work to verify the companies that they're going to allow to list on their stock exchange right and our marketplace is exactly the same we have a marketplace and an investment committee and no company is able to bring a deal to our platform unless we have very thoroughly checked them vetted them done financial audits due diligence audits bad actor audits track record audits so by the time a deal arrives on the West Wing platform it has been through an extensive process on verification by a lot of very very qualified people both within South Africa but also outside of the country because we have compliance partners in France you can the USA so I think that's key is go if if if like your listener really is wanting to do this rather use a platform like ours that is firstly regulated by a financial services industry and secondly brings you deals that are already vetted by an extremely extensive team and as we wrap up our conversation gentlemen any final tips out for our viewers at home when it comes to product solutions for you know the industry especially if they want to start using some of them in their own property portfolio I'll start with yourself Gavin any final tips for viewers at home find one that you like find one whose team you like and get started with a small amount try it out if if nothing else you it doesn't return as well as you like and you haven't really lost anything but you have to start in order to do this you can't spend a lot of time sitting on the sidelines just watching and yourself and then guys I'm exactly the same I think whether it's an investment platform like ours or some of the other prop tech platforms or prop tech solutions is just start and try because the world is moving this way very quickly and it's not a space you want to be left behind in because in your own portfolio whether it's because you're managing a few properties etc your competitors are going to start using it it's going to give them a competitive advantage and you're not going to be left behind so embrace prop tech and really go and try and experiment as much as you can gentlemen that's where we're going to leave it at this evening Lyndon Booth Gavin Rousseau thank you so much for joining us on the show thanks so much it's been great to be here and I've heard from the team that unfortunately we have not had the winner claim their price so Ulandi Maree did not claim that 500 rand so we've got to roll over to a thousand rands tomorrow as we're going to be wrapping up the week's edition of the private property podcast well that's it for myself as I'm going to walk tomorrow we'll be back on the streets tomorrow evening at 7 p.m. it is a Thursday so you can catch Umbali Moko on the farming podcast at 8 p.m. until then hoping you're staying home and staying safe


And what I'm trying to say to you is that if this is legalized, then everybody is going to have unlimited access to pot and unlike other people that are responsible, irresponsible child abusers are going to have free access. I'm not sure if you know, but everybody has the ability to get their hands on pot right now, whether it's legal or not.

Welcome to drinks made easy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know it's still me Paulie back soon Don't worry about it. If you have no idea what I'm talking about check out the blue gun cocktail video Today, I'm gonna show you how to make this guy the rainbow cocktail. It's simple It tastes great and it's a real easy on the eyes drink just like me But wait, no, no, not that I'm a easy on the eyes drink. I mean, I'm easy I forget about it. Let's just make the drink To make your rainbow cocktail, the first thing you're gonna do is you're gonna take one ounce of grenadine and pour it into a hurricane glass Next you're gonna fill it with ice See what I did there? See what I did and they go Whatever next you're gonna fill the glass to three quarters of the way up with orange juice Then finally you were going to add One and a half ounces of vodka with a quarter of an ounce of blue curacao to the top Now the reason that you cut the blue curacao with the vodka is blue curacao is very heavy And if you don't otherwise, it'll just go straight down to the bottom and mix in with the grenadine And it'll just turn into a mess. All right now as you can see you have some pretty hard lines So the other colors haven't really been able to show up yet And that's where you're gonna take a bar spoon or something that's long It doesn't really matter what it is as long as it's not like a serving spoon where it's too big I won't go into the glass and you're gonna shove it down the side shove it down the side push it down the side Of the glass to the bottom Give it a little bit of a swizzle to agitate the bottom and let the other colors kind of Meld and become their own and pull Take your straw Slide it on in And then you have your rainbow cocktail man It's cool, right? Not meant my accent. No, not the drink Give it Shut up If you like this video, why don't you give us a like subscribe and a comment Don't forget to hit that bell icon to be notified anytime we make a new video And always remember to drink responsibly because while everybody likes rainbows Nobody likes making friends in a rainbow shower That didn't really make sense

Despite some moderation in speed, performance of the Chinese economy is stable and moving in a positive direction. Having said that, we also face some difficulties, but on the whole, we have more opportunities than challenges. It is the creativity and entrepreneurial passion of the public that gives us confidence in overcoming the difficulties we face. We have the capability to achieve all the major targets of economic development for this year and lay a solid foundation for our economic growth in the future.
