All right everybody, welcome to Iran Book Show on this May 3rd. I am in Haifa, Israel, in my hotel room, so of course we all know Hotel Internet. We've had some bad experiences together with it. Let's hope it holds this time. What happened there? Something is not muted. Some things not muted. There we go, we muted it. We're good now. All right, so here we are. I am in Israel. I apologize. Yes, I need to put on the video. I'm a little slow today. Okay, so I'm a little sick. I'm recovering from a cold. The reason why I haven't done other shows, time difference, I'm seven hours ahead, so it's 10 p.m. at night here. I have been sick with this cold for now for almost a week and I've been busy. So family and events and all kind of other stuff. So hopefully, hopefully, hopefully, hopefully, your sound is good now, video is good now, everything is working. So just let me know that everything is working. The echo I think should have gone. So you guys are just behind me by a while, so I'm seeing the chat from like five minutes ago. So, okay, now sound is okay. All right, so anyway, I'm here in Israel. I'm here for another couple of days and then I'll be in Spain. I'll try to do a show tomorrow as well. I'll try to do some shows from Spain. I'll try to do some shows from Italy. Maybe from Amsterdam when I'm there, but when I travel, it's difficult. It's difficult to predict the Wi-Fi. It's difficult to predict my time and it's difficult to predict my health, obviously, because I get sick when I travel, unfortunately, so there you go.  Thank you for those of you who realize that. It depresses me a little bit to think that some of you thought maybe that today was my, that this indeed was my 75th birthday, but do I look 75? Really? I mean, I know that here's white, but come on, people. Anyway, it is Israel's 75th birthday and I know that's considered an anniversary or whatever, but last week I landed, indeed, in Israel on Independence Day, which is 75th anniversary of the founding of the State of Israel, and I thought given that I'm here and given that it was Independence Day and given that I just did a very, very political event with a very, very high-profile politicians in Israel, actually, I would say I did an event on Sunday with the most hated politicians in Israel today. So I thought this would be a good opportunity to talk about Israel, to talk about my impressions of Israel. You know, I come here about once a year and I sometimes update you on my impressions of Israel, but give you my impressions of Israel and then give you up to speed on what's happening here politically. And I think as you're here, I think, I think a lot of what's happening here politically is a reflection of what's happening all over the West politically, and I think we can learn a lot from what's happening in Israel right now. So I think that, hopefully, is of interest, and so we will talk about Israeli politics. Also about, you know, part of this Israeli politics issue is yesterday, I don't know if you heard about this, I don't know if you saw the news, but yesterday a prisoner, Hamas, a terrorist who had been on hunger strike in Israeli prison died. And as a response, Hamas launched 104, I think, missiles into Israel. And there is a really interesting commentary in the Israeli news and in the Israeli political world about Israel's response to that, which again, I think, lines up with kind of the challenges, the real challenges that I think the political world, if you will, the political world faces of how to deal and how to deal with the different points of view and the different views of related to how to deal with security issues. But this is broader because it has to do with right versus left. And anyway, we will talk about that. Keyframe, please use the keyframe frequency of four seconds or less. I have no idea what that means. But we're not going to worry about that.   You see this all across the country, cranes, building, buildings. And particularly if you drive through Tel Aviv and the areas around Tel Aviv and the north and to the east and even to the south, you see cranes everywhere and you see high-rises going up everywhere, high-rises that are, many of them are apartments and condominiums. But many of the high-rises are also office buildings. I saw a number of signs. It's a little suspicious, but I saw a number of signs saying, here is going to be the largest industrial thing in Israel, or here is going to be the largest, you know, high-tech concentration in Israel. Everybody's vying for to be the largest office park for high-tech. But it is, you know, high-tech is spent all over Israel from here in Haifa. Actually, I have to admit, I have to say, I was, as a civil engineer built, or was part of the team that built the first clean room in Israel, built the first building in which Intel operated, so the first Intel building in Israel I built. It's still there, although it's been renovated and made prettier. But today, you know, almost every US high-tech company, has offices here, there are a lot of Israeli companies. And the country, in many respects, economically is booming. It's booming in a way that is just, it truly is stunning. Every year you come here and you see it, and it's hard to believe how much progress has been made. I think I told you on of the shows that today the most expensive city in the world to live is Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv has, is constantly you're seeing a new building of condominiums, and yet as fast as they try to build those condos, there is a shortage, and they completely, you know, the government does not free up enough land, familiar to San Franciscoans and familiar to other parts of America where real estate prices are high. Israel is not freeing up enough land to facilitate enough building to keep up with the base population. So one reason why so many cranes, so much building, so much expansion, so much growth is the fact that Israel has a growing population. It has among the Western nations, among the developed nations, it has the largest population growth, the largest number of children per couple or per, how do they measure it? Children per, I think, yeah, per couple, something like that. Anyway, highest in the Western world, the highest in the developed world, by quite a bit. Israel is a country of immigrants. It's constantly, you constantly see new people here. There's a constant, consistent pattern of immigration into the country. And it's massive, and the immigration part is interesting because people call Israel racist and so on because Jews get preference for citizenship. So for a Jew to become a citizen is very, very easy. But what is interesting in Israel is that much of immigration to Israel is not immigration for citizenship. Much of the immigration for Israel to Israel is immigration for work. You might remember that I'm a huge advocate for immigration for work, like everybody who can get a job, get a visa for the United States, for example, for Europe. Israel is, in a sense, that's your country. There are massive numbers of foreigners, non-Jewish foreigners working in Israel. There are hundreds of thousands of them. I know, for example, my parents have a woman living with them who helps them, cooks to them, takes care of them, and everything. She's from the Philippines. And many elderly in Israel, the way in which the state, in a sense, deals with elderly is the Social Security in Israel pays for somebody to live with the elderly. Now, they're not enough Israelis to be able to fill those positions. So people come in from the Philippines, from Thailand, from India, from all over Asia to fill those positions. I haven't asked anybody, but my suspicion is that all those queens and all those construction jobs in all those construction sites, those are not Israeli-born who are manning those. It's not the Jews, it's not the Arabs who were born in Israel. In my day in the 1980s, all the construction workers, I mean literally almost all the construction workers were Palestinians who came in from the West Bank and Gaza. Well, that's been closed, that's been shut down so they don't come in. So where does Israel get its construction workers? Well, I would bet anything, I don't have, I need to ask. But I would bet anything that those construction workers are immigrants here for the work. They're not immigrants in the sense that they will become citizens, but they're immigrants here to work. They live here, they enjoy living here, and they send money home. And maybe they go home one day, maybe they don't, maybe they stay for the rest of their life working. But as long as they're working, Israel won't kick them out. So there's a massive, massive immigration into Israel. And on top of that, if you look at, and this is to the effect of racism, if you look at Jews who emigrate to Israel, I mean the Jews come from everywhere.  I don't know how you define different races, I guess, by skin color these days. But there is no one, Jews are not a race and there's no one race of Jews. And it's certainly when it comes to skin color and features and hair and eye color and things like that. God, there's so many variations and this country is a mesh mash of people. And indeed, if there's racism in Israel, it's between white Israelis, what are called Ashkenazi Israeli, European Israelis, and Svaldi Israelis who are the darker skinned and who come from North Africa and parts of Asia and parts of the Arab world. Ashkenazi and Svaldi, there's always been racial, if you will, ethnic, maybe racial is not the right word, ethnic tension between those two. And we'll talk about that because it exists now as well and you can see it very much in the political landscape in Israel right now. Sadly, very sadly, it exists today. So I think the first thing to mention is how impressed I am every time I come to visit. The number of nice restaurants, of nice malls, of the streets, the high-end shopping, you know, as good as anywhere in the world and for a country constantly under threat for a country in a position that Israel is, I think it's a massive achievement. The relatively normalcy that Israeli society holds on to and it's just the wealth that has been created here. You know, when I was growing up in Israel, Israel was very much a socialist country and Israel was indeed, it was a poor country and you could sense it, you could sense it in the buildings and the streets.  One of the things that's interesting here that I haven't seen in America and I haven't seen elsewhere. So they take these old, they're all apartment buildings, they take these old apartment buildings. And what will happen is a contractor will come in and they'll basically cut a deal with the owners of the existing apartments. They'll say, look, we'll take your building, we're completely renovated, we'll upgrade everything, we'll upgrade the apartments, we'll upgrade the outdoor space, we'll make it look shiny and beautiful and new. We'll build another level on top of the levels you have right now, we'll maybe even put an elevator in. And the two apartments that we put on top, let's say it's a condo with two apartments and four apartments, the apartments on top we own and we'll sell. So we'll do all the renovations in exchange for these two top apartments. And you guys, you have to vacate, you have to leave it for a year, a year and a half for us to do this. And I'd say a significant percentage of the apartment buildings in Haifa where I grew up have been renovated. And it's beautiful because they're still there, it's the same place.  So I drove by my old house, which was an apartment, and we had a massive apartment, a huge apartment in Israel. It was 1200 square feet, at the time we thought it was massive, four bedrooms, I think. Beautiful view of the Mediterranean, a beautiful apartment, but 1200 was considered huge back then, maybe still is. Anyway, I drove by the building where I grew up and I couldn't recognize it. I knew where it was, I know the number, I know the location, but it couldn't recognize it because beautiful new facade. They built up balconies, we never had balconies, and they've added a fall and it looks gorgeous and amazing. And I'm sure inside it was completely renovated and modernized and brought up to speed, so yes. So those of you wondering who are still joining, it's not my 75th birthday. It is the state of Israel's 75th birthday. Also you will hear me coughing like that because I am overcoming a cold. I'm not going to do a very long show today because of that. Let me just see how we're doing on the super chat. We've got a lot of $5, $10 super chats, which is going to make it difficult to get to our goal. So please keep that in mind and if you can't afford and if you can do it, I'd appreciate. Michael, $20 questions rather than the $5 questions, just because it's not going to be a very long show. I can already feel my throat and I have a feeling I'm going to be limited on the amount of speaking I can do. So please consider, this is not going to be good. Please consider doing $20 so we don't have to go forever. Plus I have a meeting later today that I have to take. Sorry guys, sorry for all the coughing. Bree, everybody else, please consider doing $20 questions rather than $10 and $5, just because we want to try to get to our target and I can't have a million questions. Alright, so as I said, amazing, in many respects, an amazing place. Economic growth, economic prosperity, wealth, all of that is just really astounding when you come to Israel and you see it and you observe it and every time I come I'm blown away. The politics though are so bizarre in Israel and so unfortunate. Basically Israel has no, if you will, political left or economic left. Israel as a culture is generally socially left as you would call it, socially liberal. Tel Aviv is very much a capital of LGBTQ, a capital of nightlife and a great place. People generally are pretty laid back about what you call social issues. On the other hand, Israel is a very religious place, a place in which the very religionists, if you will, the extreme religionists, are significant percentage of the population, not 50% or we're near, but a significant percentage and they're for a place like Jerusalem. Buses stop running on Saturday, art stores and cinemas are closed on Friday night and Saturday and it's almost in a narrow scope of the authority of the local government, it's almost theocratic. So you've got Tel Aviv which is this amazingly secular place, anything goes, everything goes and you've got Jerusalem which is this... One second. Now the difficulty of speaking when you've got a cold is that it affects your throat. Honey and lamb, yeah I just put a thing of Manuka honey in my mouth to ease the throat, to hopefully reduce the amount of coughing we will see. So we'll see if this works. See Israel is split. It has economically a very centrist approach. You have a center-right, center-left, the left-wing parties in Israel, the parties that would want to compromise with the Palestinians, the parties that would want to bring socialism to Israeli markets. Those political parties are nonexistent anymore. The Labour Party, a political party by the name of Meritz, those political parties didn't make it into the last parliament. These are parties that dominated Israeli politics from its founding through the 1970s and were still present in significant ways through the 1990s. Nonexistent today, they're gone. Which is pretty amazing for a country that was dominated by leftists and founded by leftists. Israel's politics is dominant by center-left and center-right parties with a lot of fragmentation in the center, a lot of little parties that differentiate themselves based on who they like and who they don't like in terms of personalities and based on their approach to religion, how antagonistic they are to dealing with the ultra-orthodox, the super-religious political parties. So you've got all these parties in the center from the accord to the main opposition party who are all centrist, and that is the dominant part of Israeli parliament. And then you've got some far-right political parties. Most of them didn't make it into the Knesset, so you've got one big far-right political party that's a member of the current government. And then you've got two ultra-orthodox, super-religious political parties who basically don't care about anything except preserving a theocratic-like reign on their neighborhoods and their areas where they live, and they all live in the same neighborhoods, and care about things like welfare to their own people, particularly welfare for men who are young, who are completely able to work, but who would rather pray rather than work, rather go to school to pray, a yeshiva, rather than work, and they demand as part of their political cooperation massive subsidies for these people. And the third element is they demand that those young men be the only young men other than the Arabs who are not required to serve in the Israeli army. So the draft does not apply to them. It applies to everybody else in Israeli society, although the Jews in Israeli society, but it does not apply to the ultra-orthodox. And those are the political things. They don't care much about the economy. They don't care much about the Palestinians. They don't care much about foreign policy. The only thing they really, really care about is to hold a monopoly over decisions that relate to religion, to control their own communities, and to protect their young men from the military, and protect their young men from actually having to work so the government subsidizes them and pays them welfare so they don't have to work. And basically that has been the state, in the state of Israel, that has been, for many, many years, that has kind of been the status quo, because these two very, very religious political parties almost always land up being the kingmaker in terms of who gets to create the government. Netanyahu has done that almost dominantly over the last 15 years.  So that's a big issue. How to treat the religionists, how much to give in to them, how much to subsidize them, whether to allow them to stay out of the army or not, that is a big issue. Again, in economics, there's not very much disagreement.  There are those lesbicapolis people here, just like they aren't any in the U.S., no voices in that direction at all in Israel. There are very, very few, even among economists. It's just not a big voice for economic liberty. So, you know, so the big issue is how to treat the religionists. And then what's happened, what happened in Israel over the last 20 or 30 years, and I think many of you will understand this, is that Israel has no constitution. It has a court system and it has a Supreme Court. But the role of the Supreme Court and the role of the judiciary is somewhat ambiguous because there is no constitution. Anyway, over the last 20 years, the courts have taken on a bigger and bigger role in politics in Israel. And these courts have come to challenge the government and challenge legislation. And, you know, not so much legislation on the bench, but it will, certain legislation is so abhorrent, is so wrong as to be against kind of the basic law of Israel and therefore to overturn it. And the judges for the courts, including the Supreme Court, are basically nominated by a committee that is controlled by judges and lawyers. So basically judges and lawyers appoint judges to the various courts. And judges and lawyers in Israel, you know, have been primarily leftists. So they have appointed leftists to the Supreme Court consistently. And the Supreme Court is probably the most leftist institution in Israel. And it regularly passes rules in a way that promotes and advocates for leftist causes. So there is a lot of angst in Israel about this and those of the right. And in particular, there is one political party, this far-right political party. Now, it is a religious political party. One of the things about the far-right in Israel is it is religious. It's religious. It's somewhat free markets. It's maybe more free markets than any other political party right now. And it's religious. It's somewhat free markets. And it is very tough on foreign policy, very tough on the Palestinian, very tough on foreign policy. So here you've got this combination where we'll get to the courts very left. And now this current government is a government composed of the Likud, which is Netanyahu's political party, which is center-right. And then because nobody else in the center is willing to actually work with Netanyahu, is willing to actually form a coalition with Netanyahu, so you cannot get 60 votes from the Israeli parliament, 120, you need to get 61 in order to form a government. You cannot get 61 because a lot of these political parties won't deal with it, don't want to have anything to do with it, just on the basis of personality, not on the basis of issues, not on the basis of opinions, just on the basis of personality. The only way to form a government was for Netanyahu to go to his extreme right and to go to the ultra-orthodox religious parties. So today the coalition running the government is Likud, the Bibi Netanyahu's party, an extreme right wing party. Think of the extreme right wing party as a national conservatism in America, on steroids, national conservatism on steroids. And then ultra-orthodox political parties where there's nobody in America that's even close to them, you couldn't have the ultra-orthodox in any other country. Again, there's no sustain in this kind of ultra-orthodox Catholic political parties or Protestant political parties, just it doesn't exist. It's a unique phenomenon, I think, to Israeli and the Jews. Anyway, that is the coalition. So the ultra-orthodox are getting everything they want for Netanyahu. And now come what's called the extreme right. And what they have demanded is they have demanded what they call legal reform. And I agree that legal reform is necessary. I've talked about this on the show before. The leftist domination of the court system, the perpetuation of the leftist control of the court system because they're the ones who appoint the judges to appoint the successors. Not a good system, not a good system at all. And the lack of a constitution, which is a weapon point, for this to be called to rule, not good. So what do you think would be proposed is let's sit down and maybe think about a constitution. That would be a good step. Constitution. This is a loud echo. You guys hearing an echo? Who is it? Just a gale. Anybody else hearing an echo? Bass. Alright, let me know guys. One, two, three. Is there an echo or isn't there an echo? I can't go on. Please. Yes. Yes echo. The voice of God. Yes. Loud. Loud echo. I'm not sure. What is driving that? Let's try this. Let me know if anything changed. Echo, echo, echo. Boom. It's still going on. Fixed. Cool. Okay. So where was I? Yes, so they want legal reform. So you think the first thing they would do is a constitution. The problem is that they don't really want a constitution and the reason they don't want a constitution is because a constitution will have to decide on state versus religion. And it's not clear how that would be resolved and it's not clear how you could resolve that issue. It's a given the split in the Israeli population. You're not going to do it democratically. You're not going to do it by vote. The constitution shouldn't be done by vote anyway. So it's not clear what would come of a constitution if there was a constitution convention to establish one. So nobody really wants a constitution and certainly the religious parties and the far right doesn't want a constitution and also a constitution limits the power of politicians. And when you're a politician without a constitution and you have all this power, you don't want to give it up. In particular, I think the far right now believes that they are going to be the dominant political force in Israeli politics going into the future. Why would they want a constitution to hamper their ability now to dominate Israel and to shape Israel according to their image? So no constitution. So what they want to do is there's a bunch of aspects of their form but basically two major ones. Others are too technical, I think, and less interest to general audience. But one is they want the Israeli parliament to be able to overrule any Supreme Court decision by a 51% vote, which makes a Supreme Court moot. What's the point of having a court that can review laws and determine their constitutionality or their applicability to some kind of basic law or whether the law itself is consistent or makes sense if you can then overrule it? They want parliament to be able to overrule the law, which gives parliament massive power and eliminates the independence of the judiciary and really eliminates the need for judiciary and places all the power in parliament. Israel. The executive branch is in a sense part of parliament because the executive branch, the prime minister, is chosen by the parliament. He serves in parliament. He is a parliamentarian. It's a coalition. Ministers in the government are typically members of parliament. It's the government. The executive branch has a dominant position in the legislature. Now the legislature controls the judiciary. You could say that the government then controls the legislature, controls the judiciary. You're giving absolute power with no checks and balances to the government. Now on top of this, they want to change the way judges are nominated. Instead of judges nominating judges, which is a bad idea, they want the government, not even the parliament, the government to nominate judges. Now this is a massive power grab. It is basically a mechanism by which to institute the government control, the executive branch control of every aspect of governance. Separation of powers is gone. Any kind of corrective action is gone. Basically you have a system that is dominated by the government and if the right believes that they are always going to be in control of government, they get to dominate every aspect of Israeli politics forever. Now I'm dubious about the extreme right's view that they will dominate, although they might, we'll see. But this is wrong. Anyway, this League of Reform has brought out the biggest demonstrations maybe Israel has ever seen. There have been demonstrations now for weeks. The government ultimately, there was moving this legislation through the parliament and was getting ready to get it all down and sign it and they were really doing this fast. Because of these demonstrations, millions of people out in the streets in every place in Israel, really massive demonstrations and with a significant impact. The consequence of these demonstrations is being that the government put on hold the newer forms. They changed it, they put it on hold and now they're sitting on it supposedly they're negotiating with the opposition with the idea of coming to some kind of deal that the opposition can also accept. But that doesn't seem to be really going anywhere. Anyway, I've never seen Israel so anxious, so stressed. High-tech companies have said they're going to leave Israel if this legislation passes. It's the end of democracy. This is the beginning of fascism in Israel. It's all over, I mean, the hyperbole and the panic and the hysteria are unbelievable. It's bad legislation. But God, I mean, the amount of panic, these have lowered Israel's bond rating because business will be hurt because of this legislation and the economy is going to crash. Everything is a disaster. So what you're seeing is, people are really upset, really panicked. And anyway, the guy who is spearheading this legislation, of course his name is now going to escape my mind right now when I need it. Anyway, this guy is leading this legislation. He is part of the far right. He's a Yomica-wearing religious Jew who is part of this far-right wing of the government. And he is spearheading this legislation. And as a consequence, he has really become the most hated man in Israel. I mean, my family despise him. Now, he's behaved in horrible ways. He won't let people speak. He's obnoxious. He's done a lot of terrible things just as a personality and in the way he presents himself, the way he's presented himself throughout.  I mean, people truly, my family, my wife's family, Rotman, thank you. This is a guy named Rotman. Safir, I think, Rotman. Anyway, this Rotman guy is hated and despised. Probably right now I think the most hated and despised guy in Israel. And he agreed to debate me on the legal reform. So, Boaz, I do, organizes the Freedom Conference in Israel, which was held last Sunday, this last Sunday, got Rotman to come and debate me on legal reform. So, we did the debates. There were leftist demonstrators who paid to come into the conference just so they could try and stop him from speaking. I don't think they knew who I was, okay? Who were yelling and screaming and tried to silence us, him. But we did get the debate off. It is online. It is in Hebrew, so you guys don't get to see it. You know, this would be, in America, it would be the equivalent of me debating, let's say, Josh Hawley, the National Conservative Republican Senator. So, it was interesting. It was kind of a funny debate because it was a debate interview style. So, there was a moderator who literally asked us questions as if he was interviewing us. So, it wasn't a point, rebuttal, rebuttal, rebuttal. It wasn't that kind of debate. It was more an interviewer interviewing us and us expressing opposing points of view. He never really addressed the points that I disagreed with him on. He never really addressed the points of principle about separation of powers and about the government grab of power. And he never really addressed. When I talked about appointment of judges and I said, the body that should appoint judges is Parliament. Just like in the Senate in the United States, you should have the judges should come. They should testify. They should be questioned. And you should have a supermajority electing them. I think judges should be elected by two-thirds majority or four-fifths or something. He said he agreed with me. So, on many of the issues he said he agreed with me, which was weird, right? Because I know he doesn't disagree with me and the real core fundamental issues, he clearly doesn't agree with me. One of the reasons he doesn't want a constitution, he was clear he did not want a constitution, I think is because he doesn't want a separation of state and church. And one of the reasons he doesn't like the American constitution is because he doesn't want a separation of state and church. But anyway, the whole thing was fun and interesting. It made the newspapers primarily as... because of the fact that they were demonstrators. Unfortunately, I didn't make the newspapers. Primarily demonstrators made the newspapers and Rotman. There is video of it. Those of you who understand Hebrew can probably find it. It's on Facebook. It'll be uploaded to YouTube at some point. There's a video showing the debate, and you can watch it if you're interested. So that's what I did on Sunday. So, Israelis right now are completely, utterly obsessed by this. This is the only issue that matters. This is what's on the news. This is what people are thinking about. This is what people are arguing about. This is what people are debating about. This is the only issue at the forefront in people's minds. By the way, we raised about $260. We've got about $380 to go, $390 to go. We haven't had a show in a long time, so I hope there's some of you out there who might be able to put down $50, $100 to get us quickly to the goal. I'm going to go at about 45 minutes. I want to do one other issue about Israel, and then I'll take your question and I'll try to be quick about them. And that is, there was one issue that came up yesterday because of the rocket attacks. See, one of the things about the extreme right that they are right on is that they believe Israel has been far too weak in its response to terrorism, far too weak in its response to Hamas and missile attacks on it. And indeed, one of the ministers in the current government, a guy named Big Veal who is a racist and just a horrible human being broadly, has said he is not going to parliament and will not vote with the coalition until Israel responds more forcefully to what happened in the Gaza Strip the other day. And he's right on this issue. He's right on this narrow issue. Now, even he doesn't have the answer. It seems like only I have the answer to what actually has to be done because the answer is very bloody and very difficult. But he's right about the fact. Israel supplies the Gaza Strip with electricity. Israel supplies the Gaza Strip with water. Israel supplies them with food. But electricity and water.  Why do we continue doing that? Ultrism, fear of international condemnation, if they were cut off from electricity. Why does Israel not respond? Because it didn't respond. A few missiles into Gaza, not serious, not serious response. One of the things that they're demanding is Israel used to have the policy. Every time Hamas attacks Israel, Israel kills a certain number of Hamas leaders. They want to re-institute the policy of killing the leadership.  I don't think it ever works. I don't think it ever achieves anything. You need to go in there and clean house. So this is the problem.  And they're right about the threat from the outside, and a little bit on how to deal with that threat. And you kind of sympathize on that, but you cannot sanction them. You cannot support them because everything else they believe in would destroy the country from within. And that's the problem in Israel, is that the only people who seem to speak out about the threat external are people who want to create a threat internal. And the people who understand kind of liberties and freedom internally, at least to some extent, don't appreciate what needs to be done in order to quell the threat from outside. And Netanyahu, as always, is a middle-of-the-road wimpy. He's middle-of-the-road on economics. He's middle-of-the-road on security. He's middle-of-the-road on negotiating with terrorists. He's middle-of-the-road on everything, which is a massive disappointment, but he's always been like this at some point. I'm not surprised. But this is the kind of government he has. So he has a country with unbelievable potential. Unbelievable potential. You know, maybe the best high-tech per capita place in the world. Cutting-edge technology, cutting-edge entrepreneurs, developed venture capital community, industry, progress. And you have crummy economic policies that hold all that back, that suppress the standard of living. Unfortunately, a lot of Israelis living in poverty because of those bad economic policies that suppress economic activity and hold back and raise the cost of living significantly. And you have a country that is not willing to fight its real enemies externally. And a country that's being eaten alive internally by itself, by its right-wing religionists who want to destroy it from within. The the the the theocrats. And this should be a warning sign to the United States, to all other countries.  You give it political power. You know, beware. Beware. Because, you know, Israel is a good test case and it's not looking good. It's not looking good in terms of what they do when they gain that power. And, you know, Israel isn't a people. Tomorrow there's basically a television shutdown because of demonstrations. I think a lot of other cities will be too. Nobody's, you know, you can't go driving tomorrow because all the roads are going to be blocked. I mean, it's horrible, these demonstrations. On the other hand, people are feeling like if they don't demonstrate their liberties are being taken away from them and they're handing over, they're handing over all political power to the government, all political power to the government and basically, you know, eliminating whatever controls exist by a Supreme Court that monitors this. All right. In Israel at least, you know, there is, Israel is very, as I said, there is no economic left in Israel and the cultural left is not nowhere near as harmful as it is in the United States. But Israel is a centrist country. America is a centrist country. The reality is that America is in the center. What you've allowed in America, what we've allowed is we've allowed a few, what we've allowed is the few crazy leftist intellectuals, those crazy leftists at universities and academic centers dominate the debate and dominate the discussion. But the reality is that America is a dominantly center to center right country and whatever threat to America is going to arise, it's from those so-called centrist and so-called right wing. Very few people actually buy into the crazy leftist other than these intellectuals.  All right. Let's look at some of your questions. But just like in America I think, the real threat to liberty in Israel, the real threat to liberty in Israel, in Israel, no question, is the far right and the religious parties. There's no question about that. And then the challenge is that on some issues they're pretty good. So you've got liberties and the certain good things and how do you balance all that? How do you balance all that out? Ideally there would be a real force for free markets and for liberalism, economic liberalism in Israel that could form kind of a centrist, center-right coalition that excluded the religionists and would actually liberate the unbelievable potential that this country has. Doesn't look like that's in the cards, at least not yet. Now, if there was an election today, I think Bibi Netanyahu would suffer greatly because the reality is that very few people in Israel support this legal reform that the right is trying to pass. And if it went for an election, if it went for any kind of referendum it would fail and in an election I think Bibi would be crushed. I think Bibi knows that, Netanyahu knows that and that's why he's not allowing it to pass yet and he's trying to negotiate a deal with the opposition. Let's see. Taylor says, James Taylor asked, Delusion is a state of refuge. Wes, thank you for the $100. And Corleen, thank you for the $50. Really, really appreciate it. Appreciate it, guys. So now we're just $236 short of where we are today. Delusion is a stage of refuge. The mind unable to comprehend realities or to deal with them, finds its ease in superstitions, beliefs and modes of irrational procedure. Is it easier to believe than to think? I don't think it's easier. It takes a little less effort to believe than to think but I don't think it's easier. It's thinking is an achievement, thinking is a challenge and people have to learn how to think. It's something that you're not born instinctively to do. You know, certainly not at a very sophisticated level. Human beings have developed that capacity, improved that capacity, fine-tuned that capacity. Aristotle taught us logic that was crucial to ability to think. You know, we have developed that rational faculty and thought about it. That's, philosophers have contributed, the better philosophers to ability to do that. But it's still true that a vast number of our population of the world is still stuck on superstitions, on beliefs, on faith and on the negation of reason and rationality. And because they don't know, because it's a challenge, because it's maybe because thinking requires taking responsibility, you need a certain psychology for that, you need a certain self-esteem for that.  It's some force in the universe guiding you rather than, or determining things, not your decisions. Adam Reed says, who's the most hated politician in Israel? Right now, it's Rotman, who I debated. Harper Campbell asked, can't we just be results-oriented at some point in time? I don't know what that means.  But what does that mean? It means thinking in principle about the way to achieve certain goals. In principle, it means value-driven. You want to achieve your values. Well, you have to figure out how to achieve your values. And that requires principles. So yes, I mean, we're not, nobody, I'm not against being results-oriented and it seems wanting to attain results. It's that you have to take a principled, rational, long-term perspective and you have to choose the right values, i.e. the right results, to be oriented towards.  Alex says, there's really this brag about their health services being better than cheaper than the U.S. I'd like to understand why the American Health Services are allegedly too expensive and inefficient. Where would you suggest to start? I mean, that's a big mission. I mean, there's a guy named John Goodman who writes a lot about healthcare in the United States. And I think he has a think tank that does a lot of work around healthcare. You can find it there. But the U.S. system is expensive because it's super inefficient because it is this weird combination of government, Medicare and Medicaid, which is socialized healthcare for old people and poor people. A combination of that plus private insurance, there's heavily, heavily, heavily regulated, so it's really not really private insurance. And private doctors and private hospitals and private healthcare providers. And it's this mishmash that has created hyper-inefficiency, which makes it expensive. On the other hand, there are no lines. There's no rationing. And so while it's expensive, if you know how to navigate it and if you have health insurance, what most Americans do, or if you have Medicare, you get the best healthcare in the United States in the world. There's no question in my mind that healthcare services in the United States are the best in the world. When foreign leaders and when rich people in all kinds of countries who have socialized healthcare systems get really, really sick, where do they go to? They come to the U.S. They come to Mayo Clinic, the Cleveland Clinic and lots of other hospitals and places because the United States has the best. And that's because it still has elements of private. But it's expensive because it's completely inefficient. It's a complete mess. It's pulled apart by conflicting incentives and regulations and controls. And a government that dominates well over 50% of all healthcare dollars spent in the United States well, well over 50 cents of every dollar well over 50 cents is spent by the government. Clark Young. Off-topic, but did you see the video of Stephen Crowder abusing his wife, what a maniac? I did not. And that is truly horrible for a man to do that. James Taylor says, I'm debating a Marxist and he replied with Marxism is not anti-ability because Cuba has more doctors than any other country.  Very.  It is low in every United States as well but for different reasons. There are a lot of doctors in Cuba but they have lousy facilities and they don't make decent living. And if they were allowed to leave and if America accepted them, they would all leave tomorrow or many of them would leave tomorrow. Of course, Marxism is anti-ability or it penalizes ability even if it wants people who are able but then it penalizes them. Doctors don't make more money than other people in Cuba. So, yes, you should tell your friend next time you get sick you should go to Cuba to get treated. See what he thinks about that. Michael says a dark age looms over closer and both political parties have descended to ever lower levels of Dante's Inferno. Aristotle ends up Plato, no one else at Contatilla and Inran. Inran's answers aren't getting into the culture. Not yet, slowly. They are getting to you guys and you guys will help spread them to other people so they will get there. But yes, Inran's answers need to get into the culture. I don't think a dark age is looms anytime soon. These things always take much, much longer than you expect them to take. Andrew says, I like Inran's answer when Johnny Carson asked her if she feels down on the holidays. She says, I'm chronically happy. I'm not sure if her feelings are valid evidence but they at least imply the practicality of her morality. Yes, I think that's absolutely true. Did I skip one? No, I think I got that. Okay, Michael says it is so difficult to argue for deregulation because the response I always get is these regulations exist for a reason. People are not creative or prideful enough to imagine a world where the individual is left free. Yes, that's true. But one response to that would be what reason? What's the reason? When they give you the reason, you can ask them do you think there's any way to deal with a legitimate problem you've pointed out without government regulation? Can you imagine a way and maybe you can hint and give them some indications of how it could be handled without government regulation and at least get them thinking about it. Show them they might be an alternative. Show them that there is thinking out of the box. And maybe that's how we get where we need to get. Don't give up. There's no way to get Einran's ideas into the cultures to keep debating these people and keep putting these alternatives on the table. Alright, guys, we're still $236 short of our goal of $650 and we haven't done a show in a long time so I'm hoping some of you will step up and get us over the edge here so we can make our goal even though, again, haven't done a show in a long time. Liam says happy 75th birthday Ron you look great for your age. Yeah, not my 75th birthday, it is the state of Israel or the 75th anniversary of its independence which is a better way to phrase it. Michael says no amount of anxiety makes any difference to anything that is going to happen. True, but if anxiety is part of what motivates you to act in order to change what is going to happen because you can act to change the future, then that's the purpose of anxiety. It's to motivate you to act, motivate you to try to change what's about to happen or to prepare yourself or to get you ready. Clark says how do you know we have natural rights? Through logic, I mean natural rights are a necessary requirement for humans to live in societies with one another in a civilized way, i.e. in a peaceful way. So it's not that you have natural rights that are placed on you by some external entity it's not that you have some natural rights that nature has endowed you with you have natural rights because you are a rational being and rationality requires freedom from coercion and force in order to if you will be facilitated, activated, used for your existence. You can't exist without it. So that is the source of rights. It's your nature as a rational being and your requirements the requirements of your survival. By the way, we have about 90 people watching and we're looking for about $230 so you do the math but $3 or less from everybody would get us there pretty quickly and Paulo thank you for the sticker. You can use the stickers to do it so you don't have to ask a question if you don't have a question. It would be great if we got a few fifties or hundreds somebody that's been saving up all the last week where I haven't done shows but I appreciate all the chats and all the support. Clark says bizarre how socialists leftist hate free markets while simultaneously having the best marketing ever. They have the best marketing ever because their orientation is people not reality in a sense of people's psychology and they're good at manipulating that psychology and playing to that psychology and that's what makes great marketing. Thanos, thank you $50, really appreciate it. Does Objectivism has any room for Luddites? I've seen that level of language directed at AI generated art and wonder if it's warranted. No, Objectivism doesn't have any place for Luddites for haters of technology for technology's sake. I think that AI generated art is raises interesting valid interesting challenges. I think to all of us in terms of what art is where it comes from and to that extent what AI is and I think there's a lot of thinking that has to go into that because the answers for that is not obvious. If AI can produce a piece of art that is the quality of Michelangelo's David and I enjoy it first of all, can it? Is it even possible for AI to do that? Just by copying or by you know in a sense seeing common commonalities between great art and then reproducing great art that's not exactly like any one of them but is uses the commonalities between all of them wow we'll see if AI can actually do that with art not illustration not with comics but with actual art with fine art. We'll see if it can actually do that but if it can that would be interesting that would be really interesting it's a real challenge for artists there are a lot of legal issues that will have to be thought through property rights issues but I don't know I don't know what sense a person would be called I don't know what sense objectives are ludics now again I don't think based on how we see art today I don't think AI produces art it produces something that is very similar to art that looks like art it doesn't come from it's not reflecting anything of the producer so it's a real challenge I don't necessarily have answers to how to think about you know AI art but it is an interesting issue that is going to raise real questions for objectivists Harper Campbell says Europeans live longer than Americans because their cultures are more social and less phony I don't think so I think that Americans partially because of their virtue because of individualism because of their ambition that is part of what it means to be an American because they haven't settled a more disappointed in their lives than Europeans and Israelis are when it doesn't live up to that ambition and that expectation to a large extent to some extent I think because of the mixed economy to other extent because they don't have the philosophy to match the individualism and the ambition but this is a Israelis I think because of the physical threat I think because of the physical threat are much more values oriented than Americans or Europeans but there is a difference between Americans and Europeans Americans are much more depressed there's a lot more deaths of despair what are called deaths of despair, a lot more suicide there seems to be a lot more death from drugs and alcohol abuse and that's a real sociological it's a real phenomena and it's an interesting phenomena I actually need to get the stats and see if America is worse and how much worse it is but I think it has to do with the failure of the mixed economy to live up to Americans' expectations and America's promise and that Americans know this and in that sense they're more disappointed in their lives than Europeans are Holly, how are you on how bad do you think the banking crisis will get God I've been wrong about this so far because I didn't think it would get as bad as it had already gotten it really depends on the recession it depends on how bad the recession is going to be it depends on when it starts how badly it hits because at the end of the day bank crises are almost always this is an exception but almost always crises of credit the 2008 was mortgages but this crisis we'll see the crisis so far is being a bank run I think bank run crises can be easily controlled and I think this one should have been already controlled it's a tragedy it hasn't been and but I keep thinking this is it in terms of the runs on banks but I do worry and I am concerned about the coming crisis that is driven by credit not by not by these if you will the run on the banks so and that's coming I think the recession is we'll see if I raised interest rates again today but I've been calling for a recession for a year now so I've been wrong and I expected to start soon but it hasn't yet but that is where you'll feel that's when you'll know the extent of the banking problems to real extent okay let me run through these because I'm running late here Andrew says what is the aesthetic culture of Israel do the arts track western art yeah very much so Israel's very much in the arts very much a western country Richard says the AI generated art is innately derivative it's a huge sample of text images and music on a separate note the biggest AI risk is a gullible audience it requires even more critical thinking than social media yes I think that the AI generated art has to be and it's not art again but it has to be derivative because AI is not capable of creative and imagination so it has to be derivative but then the question is how good do you need to be and how knowledgeable do you need to be as an art expert to be able to differentiate it from the real thing that an is derivative art inferior and I will put it this way for most people to what extent is the derivative art inferior to the original when most people can't tell the difference again interesting questions I don't have the answer why the west is flirting with our third inch politicians nowadays because the mixed economy is coming to an end because this half freedom half not this intervention in parts of our lives but not in others by what principle by what standard because the left has gone crazy on the left the right goes crazy on the right but these are all responses both left and right and I think the depths of despair are two to the failure of the mixed economy to the failure of the nation that's been caused by the neither here nor there non-committal, non-values oriented nothingness of the mixed economy James says morality is like any other law of nature for which you cannot break but rather it breaks you true enough Michael says why is America more Christian when it comes to sex unless Christian when it comes to welfare altruism Israel and Europe appear to be the reverse I think because America was founded by a bunch of individualists and it was founded by a bunch of freedom lovers and it created a constitution that protected elements of freedom so what happened was that when it came to business and government and those kind of things America was relatively free and relatively capitalist and when it came to kind of the social things where it was more about the traditions of of Christianity family and things that were determined more on a communal basis that's where they that's where Christianity stuck Christianity couldn't stick to the government stuff because the government stuff really was dominated by the founding fathers Europe Europe basically Christianity were secularized but the morality wasn't secularized so sex was secularized and the role of government was not and that's why so you get philosophers who basically want government to do welfare and altruism but who don't really care about sex and partially because Europe is more influenced by Marx and Marx as a materialist so he doesn't care about the spiritual and sex he cares about the material which is economic and therefore he wants to regulate the material and leaves the spiritual the sexual therefore to the individual to determine researches at UCSD have found a genetic switch that extends life of yeast cells by 82% they say the same switches in human cells and are working on neurons and stem cells this is very cool science 27th of April 2023 very cool a lot of stuff like this happening around aging and longevity that is going to be very exciting and going to be reaching us in the next decades by the way we're about a hundred dollars short of our goal Liam says is BB's career finished what average is really saying about him are you surrounded by an army of leftists in Tel Aviv no as I said there are no leftists in Israel not in a traditional leftist sense there are centrists I don't live in Tel Aviv I live in Haifa my family are all left of center they have never voted for the liquid in their lives they despise BB they've always voted against BB but I wouldn't call them leftists in the sense of crazy leftists of America they're center left and I mean some of my family are leftists no question a crazy leftist is BB career finished never say finished when it comes to BB he always manages to somehow manage to survive and manage to win again and achieve the prime ministership it seems like it's impossible to get rid of BB oops where are the super chats sorry let's see Matthew says great quote from Leonard in the TV bit from last week in that TV bit from last week I don't know which TV bit you're talking about the purpose of the majority is for choosing the personnel of government not its principal yes that's what democracy should be limited to choosing personnel not principals not governing principals not ideas Bri says Propolis extract is available at Simon B farm to fix your throat near Ben Gurion airport it is a part of the B's immune system and has many viral bacteria properties thank you I mean Manuka honey has the same properties and I use it and it's quite soothing I don't think I'm going to have the time to make it a propolis I fly out on Friday okay last two questions if you still want to support the show about $100 short you've got like three minutes to do it in Gail says maybe a good show a discussion about an ideal government structure yes I think that would be and you know the American system of government comes very close to that ideal structure what America needs really is is a better constitution but the structure is already there you know two houses an executive and a legal system all separated is really good so yeah a show on why it's an ideal structure would be good all right a question about clones how many clones of Biden could you take in a fight as he is now versus how you are now only 10 at a time and when you defeat one another waddles into the battle no weapons I don't know I mean I think that the biggest difficulty would be me just being exhausted I don't know how quickly I would be exhausted I'm also not exactly a fighter I haven't gotten into a fistfight or a real fight since I was in high school I don't know how to fight I'm not trained in fighting I probably shouldn't say this in public right because people think I know Krav Maga and so I you know I don't know if all I know Biden has like a black belting kung fu what do I know all right thank you everybody really appreciate the support thank you for joining me on such short notice I might have a show tomorrow same time same place and about the same time I think I will see I'll let you know tomorrow and let's see and then as I travel I'll be doing shows but yes the next few weeks then on shows so hopefully you'll appreciate the shows that I do do we're all going to have to pick it up on the super chat we've been lagging over the last what month and a half but hopefully that'll pick up once we get back to a regular stream of shows thank you everybody really really appreciate the support really really appreciate you listening don't forget those of you listening after the fact those of you listening on the podcast please consider supporting the show on a regular basis through monthly support

policies are taking from the successful and giving to the unsuccessful he quickly added we all want to help people we're good people but nothing said after that had any teeth yeah of course uh senator Ron Johnson is read out the shrug the likes out the shrug the supports out the shrug then yet doesn't get the morality about the shrug one sad but true all right everybody again thanks for the support keep it coming monthly monthly support Patreon


aying, hey, I'll help sell this out. Just got to sell a couple if we can. 129 out of 149. That is Elijah Moore for the Jets, 13 team R&B. 129, it's about nine. I don't see any more Prism. Just one case. I have Prism on the website, but the boxes are here, right? You see them? Yeah, I think we're good there. All right, so Cooper Cup, 87 out of 99. Rams, Patrick. Snoop. 13 out of 25. That's for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Going to Joseph. And then we have a George Pickens, and that's a Locker signature. Signature Locker, 11 out of 25. Steelers is Eric Klicks, look at that. I really don't like George Pickens' autograph. It looks like a little banana peel. All right, so that's going to Eric straight up, and the Steelers right there. So, first signature booklet locker here on this side. We are almost halfway through the break. This is going to be box four here. And then we'll go to the next four. So, guys, this is probably the last playbook. I didn't think we had any more, because I remember Joe came up to me on Tuesday or Wednesday saying, hey, if I had any more playbook, if not, I'm going to take the last case. So, I don't think we have any more. But it's been a pretty good run. I love it. It's been pretty good. We have Sunday's Best, 57 out of 99 of Mark Andrews. That's Raven's 13 team R&B 7. That's Ed. Amonra, same brown. 61 out of 75. Lyons is Nick. Out of 10, Trevor Penning. And then a Jumbo Locker there. A rookie Jumbo, sorry. That works. That's 33 out of 99. Titans, three. It's going to Scott. All right, guys. Halfway through. Mike Evans to 199. 199 out of 199. Buccaneers is part of the R&B. Another one for 9 and Mark. Tyree Kill, nice pass there. 23 out of 99. Wow. That was one off the number. 23 out of 99. So, close. But not quite. That's going to go to the Dolphins and Joseph. Kyra Williams, one out of five. Nice one there for the Rams. Rams. That's Patrick Davis. And then we have a Lawrence Taylor playbook. Patch Autographic booklet. 64 out of 99. That's Giants 4. R&B, Eric Klicks. Matt Correll, 32 out of 99. And that is for the Carolina Panthers. 32. Two is Eric Klicks. A little Randall Cunningham shotgun signatures. 20 out of 25. That's awesome. Fly Eagle Slide, 13 team R&B. That's 20. That's zero. Eric Klicks. There you go, man. You have a Kenneth Murray. 14 out of 49. Chargers, 13 team R&B. That's Eric. Spot 4 is killing it right now. Then we have a Vila Stones Jr. 55 out of 299. Five. Oh, sorry, this is Bear Straight Up. Quinn and Nicholas. Alright, man. Two more boxes to go, guys. Two more to go. It's been a very busy Friday, Rex. Yeah, man. Alright, we got a Mammoth materials. That's you, 2199. That is for the Houston Texans. 13 team R&B. 58. 8 is going to Nicole. Javante Williams, 42 out of 49. That's Denver Broncos. Going to Eric. And how about a little Marion Barber? 67 out of 99. Dallas Cowboys. Going to Jason Parker. And we got Jameson Williams, who just recently got suspended for gambling. Wild. 247 out of 249. Lions is Nick. Alrighty, down to the final box. We got a Patrick, 97 out of 99. Calvin Austin. Steelers, Eric. How about more Steelers? 10 out of 199. And we got 100 out of 199. That's another one there. Javante Johnson. Jamal Anderson. 122 out of 199. Falcons. Falcons R&B, 122. Two is Eric. And last one here is Mike Williams. Nice three color patch. Chargers, 65. Out of 75. Spot five is Nicholas Wheat. Part of the R&B. Alrighty guys, and there you go. So only one randomized needs to do about this wall. It can be from anything from like 150 a couple thousand I think. So let's just randomize the teams. And if it ends up being an R&B team we'll use the same dice roll and use a list for the names in the R&B. I'll tell you right now Carl, give me one sec man. That one is still a little ways to go too. But we might be able to get people interested more in that obviously. Eminence is kind of like Eminence is kind of like obviously a bigger tier for most. Dice roll it. Three and a five. Three and a two five times, sorry. One, two, three, four, five times, five. Dolphins. It's going to Joseph straight up. So I appreciate you guys. Remember no more playboy for the time being but hopefully we get to them back soon. JaspysCaseBricks.com. Alright so let me tell you right now Carl, hold on one second. So right now it says we have nine left total. And obviously two dynasties are a lot cheaper per se. So we only sold two spots actually Carl so far today. So yeah Carl got the line. Alright so Carl's going to do dynasty. So if anybody wants to jump in with Carl and dynasty guys obviously Carl wants to do something. He likes more of the higher end stuff. So if you guys want to help him out or join him, you can if not he's just going to take it all and we'll just pull him all the hits. But yeah basically we would need to do three fillers so obviously I'm going to have to leave the one filler up there since that one already holds six. So one, two, three, four, five, six. So basically I'm going to put back 12 spots. So we're basically that last filler plus 12 spots. So I'll put those spots back in. If anybody wants to join in guys obviously you know this is your time. If you were like man I want to get into dynasty earlier too but it wasn't full at all. It's not even close. Well it's about to be close so this is your opportunity. So that one filler is going to remain the last filler now. So regardless we're going to give away six no matter what in this filler but it's the last filler now. I'm going to put in the title too. So there you go. 12 and then the last filler there. Load fast enough. Jesus Christ. Alright there we go. But yeah Rex I mean some of those guys are still pretty young but baseball in the sense that you have to give them time to mature and get better. You know you're really rarely come straight out of NHL, out of like Canada or wherever you're from as an 18 year old to make the team and kill it like McDavid and Matthews and those guys so sometimes it takes a few years to become a superstar, a good player.  It's the only time they're really scoring. They don't like to score on 5 on 5. They love power place. I don't know he's not really like a coach. He's like an assistant to like something. Whatever. I mean I don't know. I heard about that too and I remember Slay didn't have a good relationship with him but we'll see how that goes. I don't know. But he's like like an assistant advisor to something I don't know. I don't know if he's even going to be like I don't know how it's going to work out with him to be honest. We'll see. Like I said I don't think he's like a coordinator or a coach per se. I forgot the title they gave him so I don't know. We'll see. But yeah. I mean I think as a head coach he was really bad I think he did okay as a coordinator per se or you know a coach with like Belichick and those guys but obviously it's a lot different. But for sure. I don't think I don't think though I don't think they brought him into like be a big part into stuff and but I guess we'll find out once once the season kind of goes on and starts really all right so let me put all this stuff away guys and then I'll go through some orders. I know some orders are coming in and we'll see what's going on.  Were they all gambling together? Go keep on going go go go! Yeah and then Jamal Williams luckily he wasn't suspended for the whole year. Well I mean the Oilers are a good team man. I mean I mean when you have someone named Conor McDavid the best player in the world it's gonna be tough but up until today he hadn't scored a goal until today, scored two but uh yeah it's a good clash for sure come on Kempie oh alright well King's gonna be on the power play so that's gonna be a big time. In the facility?  Jesus dude come on man that's not what you that's not what you do dude. But I'm happy at least Jamison Williams is only like six games because a year would have been rough for him he hasn't even played much. I Rex got one in the dynasty filler, got into a filler two.  And Carl at the last 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 sweetness. Oh Carl also sold out the diamond dozen filler so technically Carl the diamond dozen filler we needed to do two fillers I don't know if that's something you're also wanting to try to sell out um if that is the case I mean did you want me to pose up another filler or did you want me to just put spots straight up. I mean I don't know if you're trying to sell that out. The filler that you got into was a diamond dozen. I don't know if you confused that with the dynasty one so let me know. Was that a mistake? Was that a mistake? I mean if you want me to I can refund you so that way you can like get into the actual dynasty filler I mean obviously it's an honest mistake but yeah that was for this one you would have to get into this one man. Here I'll drop the linker here. This one is the dynasty filler. Oh okay that's cool alright just making sure so then I'm gonna put another filler up and then it's just gonna be last filler plus those seven spots too for diamond dozen come on this is a big time right here you gotta convert on this power clue so that's a good time to sit here to happen in a country that's on our way and we don't know if it was strong or it was fun. Ah yeah well just just because they're rivals of course in that sense and then it's just a lot of a lot of bandwagoners from over there and also too just they're just annoying fans honestly a lot of those fans were once kings fans too you know that's the even funnier part of Carl yeah you got everything now so for sure we're good now so I'll do both of these breaks guys and I don't pretty much take us the end of the night so let me update the schedule for you guys so right now we'll do that we'll do this at 10 so I'm gonna say a little after tonight guys since you guys made me work so I appreciate it I mean if you guys wanted to sell eminence I'll stay and do that too but if not it's just pretty much it so it'll keep me an extra hour over but for something like that I'll definitely stay well look what you can do is when you get all the big hits if we do eminence just pluck out a couple of those diamonds that you get in one of those one of those cards and then turn them into some earrings or something you know that's what I always say true alright so we're pretty good you guys but this would pretty much be it unless the second eminence sells out like Carl wants to do other than that then we're pretty much done I won't do any other breaks minus eminence it's the only other breaks I'll do so we're gonna do the capstone filler right now that's sold out we'll do dynasty filler, we'll do dynasty capstone second filler and then diamond dozen volume four or volume two case break four and then if eminence isn't sold out by then then we'll probably do that tomorrow maybe I don't know but that'll pretty much be how it's gonna work out like Carl's willing to grab some spots straight up but he needs a little help he says someone grab one or if not those last two spots you see on the website and he is willing to get the rest of them that we need to post up and sell out so I mean if you guys want to this is this is it again we've had a monster monster day I mean I can't tell you how big the the list has been we've been just like non-stop breaking up until like nine or once I took my little lunch break around seven forty five eight o'clock like a little dead period hour but now we're back on it again so I said I appreciate you guys getting some of these breaks in with me Steven Kendrick no Chris probably not I'm already basically an hour over from where I started at two and it's not sold out for one also so you know if you thought it was sold out it's not we also have to sell out this filler which is at twenty six left but Steven Kendrick I mean when someone wants to break and they want to grab all the spots I mean obviously it's not obviously it's out of our control right I mean spots were there really to be honest the dynasty's been up the whole day so I mean I can't I can't really dictate when like someone like Carl somebody wants to break something and they're willing to grab every single spot to make it happen you know so it does suck but again guys I mean it's always a first come first serve type of basis you know it's there it's been there if you're talking about dynasty I don't know if you're talking about that or not or diamond doesn't you know it's been up there for a little bit so I just feel like when you see the breaks you want to get into grab a spot instantly you know what I mean just get it because you never know when something like this is going to happen honestly so that's all I can really say about it man yeah I think Rex that was a perfect example I seen you got a spot before Carl sold it out so I mean I don't know yeah basically Tristan too Jason K1 Kev one and Carl let me go grab these boxes here we go guys what's up everybody Jason here for KSpracers.com we're giving away 8 diamond dozen spots away with this 2022 Panini Capsules Baseball 1 box breaker number 52 random teams so do the break first randomize customer names, teams distribute the heads out then randomize customer names and top 8 get spots into the diamond dozen so let's roll 5 out of 5, 10 times 1 2 3 4 5 10 9 out of 5 Carl down to Carl 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 alright guys so again stick to what you got of course it is the base Royals is Carl Nick Ladolo capstone autographs to 99 Cincinnati Reds Reds is Carl Otto Lopez Otto for Toronto Toronto Blue Jays that's also Carl Victor Robles for Washington also for Carl and Matt Manning Matt Manning is also Carl with Detroit here we go guys now let's switch scenes now let's do the main giveaway here we go top 8 let me get in guys roll 2 and a 1 3 1 2 3 3 and it's all Carl even last spot Mojo was number 8 so I appreciate it folks he did have the odds and there you go guys so about that and that will be from cap 52 yeah 52 and then technically Carl actually sold out the second filler all on his own so uh yeah I mean if you don't want your stuff I could uh put a little note on it saying donate that's something that you're interested in uh yeah I'll I'll put a donate you can give it to some kiddos alright you guys so actually I forgot to end this video but yeah coming up next dynasty filler and then dynasty guys thanks cuz yeah cool okay oh that one went short to the side overtime hockey guys need to go get some blood pressure medication really quick hold on so let me put this away I'll go grab the pack filler here for tops chrome and then we'll do dynasty next what's up everybody Jason here for jazby's cagebase.com this is our last filler guys only filler we needed to do actually to give away the last six spots in dynasty baseball this is a 2022 tops chrome jumbo pack break number 85 and again guys first we're gonna do the break because we're names teams should have the jumbo pack and at the end we'll take the 30 names that bought in randomize them and the top six get into dynasty so let's click dice roll and it's just eight guys so here we go two uh two times one two this is just for the randomizer here guys for the pack filler so two times one two cardinals out of the cubs alright again it's just a pack filler so leave it as is like that oh it's kind of hard to know that you were actually rooted for the giants at one point jumbo pack no but I figured you probably rooted for some bay area teams because you were up there but I don't know giants to dodges is pretty drastic that's it's that's like big robbery you know so now let's switch scenes guys and then again dynasty boom roll three and a five eight times good luck top six are in one two three four five and then of course three five eight six seven and eight boom eight times eight times top six Carl just missing out and then Craig with six you're in Carl, Carl, Carl, Carl and Carl wow Craig snuck in there so there you go top six are in so now you guys are in the break and coming up next is dynasty thanks okie dokie okie dokie Rockies and A's are convoed alrighty guys what's up everybody Jason here for JaspiersCaseBricks.com 2022 tops dynasty baseballs here guys we have a five box case break random teams number three is getting guys super high risk super high reward guys so again only one card per box five boxes per case so here's a dice ruler and then Ryan down to Carl bottom straight up and then these customers here one from a pack filler and again we do have one combo team Rockies and A's are combo so that makes the 29 spots total so let's click dice roll and it is a one and a three four times good luck one two three and four there we go four times Carl the top down to David Chang it's bottom oops four times one two three four four times four times angels down to the San Francisco giants so Carl you have the angels Astros, Rays, Twins, Padres Braves, Tigers, Reds Cardinals, Mariners Brewers, Yankees, Marlins Royals, Dodgers Blue Jays, Phillies Craig with the Pirates, Ryan with the Guardians and then Carl with the Diamondbacks Red Sox Combo Team, White Sox Nationals Metz, Cubs, Orioles Rangers and then David with the Giants so I think you got pretty much all the big big big teams but obviously not every single team well I don't know if anybody wants to trade but I'll give you guys a quick 30 seconds I don't know is Craig watching Craig are you watching or is Pittsburgh available for trade alright Carl I'm assuming no man so I'm gonna close it alright guys little dynasty have to have a YouTube sticker man if not our cases get taken by IG vice versa so since we break on two platforms doing personals and case breaks we have to make sure that whatever is available on the case break side is not taken and messed with we've had a couple instances where Instagram grabbed the case accidentally not knowing that it was on YouTube so we started putting some stickers on our stuff so that way we don't have any discrepancies Instagram wants to take all your stuff guys if you guys don't want to sell all breaks they'll sell it out so gotta be careful alright here we go high risk camera reward baby let's do it it's an MLB logo Cal Ripken Junior one of one very nice Carl with the one of one there and the Baltimore Orioles that's a good way to start it off Mackenzie Gore 3 out of 5 nice little camel patch there but others really actually San Diego Padres also going to Carl alright guys start of overtime go Kingsville baby sudden death overtime how about a Chipper Jones 3 out of 10 nice one there for the Atlanta Braves another one for Carl 3 for 3 and a Tom Glavin for the Mets 8 of 10 Mets that is also Carl 4 for 4 last one another one of one this time it's Christian Yellowich look at that MLB logo man and autograph and Carl with the Brewers 2 one of ones in this case wow damn what a case we started with a one of one we're ending off with a one of one there you go I would have to say a very solid case no well I guess Mackenzie Gore was the one rookie but more veterans than anything minus of course Yellowich who's still active but solid case so appreciate it guys jaspiescasebreaks.com that was awesome man thank you Carl and congratulations man I mean obviously you put in all the work so good to get rewarded oh my god Kings are going to have a power play oh no way man byfield I wish he scored more right byfield but he he either gets penalties or makes plays happen honestly I just need him to score more on the score sheet but you know he's only 20 years old still so last thing we need is a short handicle oh my god that was a good shot byfield alright don't care if my wife says I'm going to game 4 oh what hold on are they going to challenge a play come on show the replay then alright well let me just start doing this one then guys for the meantime this game might not be over actually oh I didn't touch Milardi no it didn't look like it hit the stick that one that one doesn't that one didn't look like well that angle didn't look like it hit a stick they already cashed you out I don't know that didn't look like that didn't look like it hit a stick that last angle they just show if they're taking this long they're not finding a good angle that definitively shows he hit it with a high stick because that last angle did show that it was up there with the stick but it looked like it was just falling back down really well maybe they didn't realize it dude they're fucking premature I mean they didn't really mention it on the TV until like McDavid was going and talking into an official oh wow so yeah well what if it hits Ekholm doesn't it mean that he technically touched it no that one doesn't show it it hits off an Ekholm I don't know let's see what Twitter is saying that doesn't there's no I don't think it did it looked like it did but I don't think it actually hit with a large stick I think it just went straight up and it came back down oh shit hold on you have a good goal baby maybe Draftkins already knew I think if y'all would have been playing Ghost but I wouldn't count them out man obviously I mean the Oilers still have someone named Conor McDavid but the thing is that I will say though is that Philip Danone has been doing a really really good job on McDavid 5 on 5 and yeah he finally did score 2 goals today right but again they were both on the power play so it's like trying to stay out of the power play box trying to stay out of the box because you know the Oilers are probably going to score either Dryside or McDavid but on 5 on 5 he still hasn't done much the Thousand Oaks native Trevor Moore alright well Carl I got to do this filler for you did you want I mean I know you said you didn't really want any of your other cards I mean I'm going to rip this box do you want me to also donate these or do you want at least maybe the hits or like what do you want me to do because technically I mean you have this box like do you want me to ship it to you sealed maybe you want to rip it or what just before I start if not I'm going to rip it if I don't hear reply back in like a minute I'm just going to start ripping it alright like I said I don't care if my wife says no I'm going I'll go by myself if I have to alright I'm going to just do it that's it what's up everybody jazzy here for jazbyskagebrakes.com this is our last filler here guys to sell out the diamond dozen guys we're giving away the last 8 spots here 2022 Penini Capsules baseball box break number 53 and actually guys Carl ended up selling it out himself so technically this is all a personal here for Carl so let's just rip the box here and good luck buddy I know didn't you just recently go though Joe didn't you want to see like the record be broken hockey games are fun man honestly it's great for the fam you know especially my family kids you know stuff like that obviously it's a physical sport but I mean at least for king games I've noticed it's just always been fun with the fam but obviously playoff time is just something else but yeah hockey games are awesome man alright my brother grew up got me into hockey growing up and that's why I love it with football really all good Carl the only thing I had to ask was like since he wanted me to like donate the hits that you got from the last box did you want me to do the same here did you want me to just ship like the autos and relics you get or what did you want me to do technically just wanted to kind of clarify that Jake McCarthy no problem man it's all good I just wanted to make sure Joe Adele auto Jackson for the Dodgers to 25 two LA teams right there Ty Francis Peake awesome awesome man alright well I don't got to do no randomizers of course you're already in buddy so we'll end the video off here but coming up next of course is the diamond doesn't break itself guys thanks cool no problem man game one the depth is too wide so cool obviously they had 12 I had the depth 12 guys so you really are just looking at teams that are stacked from top to bottom and right now it seems that the depth for the LA players we're going to look at the actuality we're going to look at the kinds of ways of delving a little more explosive that's great I mean and when you stand on the ice and what's going on here I didn't know what you were doing but okay I'm going to I'm going to show you where it looks like they're very confident Yeah, for sure. I mean, you're doing it probably in the wedge.  You know, they just keep on pushing. Thank you for doing like this. What? Yeah, for sure. I think the way for D1 is, uh, you know, that's important. So, when you're over, talk to everybody.  If you're catching lips, you'll be fouled. If you're going to do grabs again, you're dead. That would be awesome. That would be awesome when you're celebrating the moment, you'll be able to see that. We get a good point here. We get LA games. They take the first three minutes of death over the night. All right, you guys, here we go. Last break of the night. What's up, everybody? Jason here for JaspysGatesBreaks.com. Last break of the night, guys. Jaspys Diamond doesn't baseball as bad, guys. This is volume two this time. Case break number four. And again, you get 12 cards per case. Of course, there will be 12 cards in this break, guys. Chance to some great hits. Chance to some sealed box redemptions. And since there is only nine cases, guys, most teams, most spots only have a few hit possibilities. And of course, there's some of the sell-she-hits. So I don't know what's already been pulled from the first couple that I didn't do with Joe did or anybody else did, but I pulled the top two there. So we'll see what else is still remaining. But there are some nice hits in general, guys. Here's the dice roller here. Let's roll. And it is a five to three, eight times. Good luck. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Five, three, eight. Carl done a Trevor. All right, eight times. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Guardians down to the A's. All right, so Carl, you have the Guardians, as well as the Reds, Angels, Twins, Socks, White Socks, that is. Zack Smith of the Brewers, Carl with the Orioles, Giants, Astros, Diamondbacks, Rockies, Braves, Jacob with the Red Socks, Carl with the Phillies, Mariners, Tigers, Cardinals, Reys, National, Zack Smith with the Pirates, Jake with the Royals and Padres, Carl with the Yankees and Dodgers, Zack with the Cubs, Carl with the Mets, Rangers, Marlins, Blue Jays, and then Trevor with the A's. But yeah, Carl, I mean, honestly, man, I feel like if you're interested in him for tomorrow, man, I don't know if obviously I'm sure Saturdays usually can be a little bit more busier, but I think that Eminence can go tomorrow. I mean, I would think that we do have a lot of customers that are buying into Eminence that are like overseas too.  So usually our Eminence spots tend to sell like overnight because it's like during the day overseas, you know? So I think we can probably sell those two full spots definitely over the night and then I can repost more. So I wish it could have went tonight, but it doesn't look like it. But like I said, I think when people wake up or when overseas customers wake up, they'll notice that it's down to two left on that. Also too, guys, we'll generate a case number. We've done two, four, and nine. So let's do a quick little generator here too as well. So I'm going to go one through eight because technically nine's not even possible anymore. And six, yes, six is possible. So we'll do six, okay? All right, show me the clothes then, guys. So again, guys, we have six. And again, case six right there, diamond dozen. All right, first one we have is a little Acunia Junior. And it's out of $2.99. Okay, we'll take that right there.  Is that supposed to be like a short print? Maybe it's a short print. That's why it's in there. Brace, that is Carl. And we have a Randy Johnson 24 out of 50. That is from five-star Diamondbacks Edition, Randy Johnson going to Carl as well. And here's a customer's really quick before I continue going on. Then we have Twins get $250 in break credit. Woo-hoo! Carl! You also have the twins. So I'll send you $250 in break credit and you can use that on whatever else you want. Nice. We have Lumberjacks. That is a piece of Bade Roots. Game used back. How about that? 89 out of 100. Nice one there for the Yankees. And that's also going to Carl. We have a John Aronato. 17 out of 27. Cardinals Edition. Also going to Carl. We have a Big Papi. David Ortiz. Two out of 25 from Top Sterling. Red Sox going to Jake Smith. There you go, Jake. On the board. Cincinnati Reds. 10 of 10. Johnny Bench. Same thing. Sterling. Cincinnati Reds. That is going to Carl. We have a Juan Soto. On-card autograph there. That is Nationals Edition. Going to Carl. Last spot, Mojo. And then we have a Mike Trout. That is a blue to 150. Trout. Going to Carl. Then we have a Rookie of the Year favorites. Black Refractors. That's from Chrome Mega Box. 95. Dustin May. And that's a one of one. Actually, look at that. It's kind of hiding in there. You guys see that right there? One. Nice. Dodger is going to Carl. Dustin May is back this season. Then we have a Wander Franco. Gold. It is like a $400 or $500 card right here. That is a PSA 10 out of 2020. Two. Baseball. Number to 2022 as well. Nice one there for the Rays and Carl. And then last but not least. How about a Julio? Julio Rodriguez. That is a on-card autograph. And that is from Topps Archives. To 99. That's sick, dude. So... This must be a cell sheet hit, right? Where is this Julio at? Unless it wasn't. I don't see it on the cell sheet. But we will take it. Mariners also going to Carl Last Bob Mojo on the Packfiller. So there you go, man. Very nice. Another case down, guys. So I'll post another one up for tomorrow. And again, some very nice stuff popping out of here. As well. Very, very solid. So I'll send you $250 in break period right now, Carl. When I am off here. And let's do it again tomorrow, guys. Appreciate it. Thank you, Joe. I would say you too, but I don't know if you're home. It's safe, I should say. As well. So that's going to be it for me, guys. I really appreciate it. Like I said, we were rockin' today. And I'm about to be staying an extra hour. So I appreciate you guys. Look how busy we were today, guys. Super, super busy. I know a lot of these breaks, of course, were kind of quick, but still obviously still good to be busy on a Friday. So, like I said, I'll be back tomorrow. Same time. We'll be starting next week, guys, for the people that are still up with us. Starting next week, we're going to have a little bit of extended breaking hours for YouTube. And I think IG, but mainly YouTube. So you'll be seeing a little bit more of Michael. You'll be seeing a little bit more of Chris. So next week, I think I'm going to start coming in at normal time, 3 o'clock. And then I think whoever is going to be breaking on Friday, Saturdays, at least on the days that I'm on, we'll start at 12. And break for a few hours until I get here at 3. And then I'll be on from 3 to 11. So we kind of want to start getting more hours in for breaking. And yeah, I think it's going to be fun. And then obviously Wednesdays, I come in early for you guys, too. So you'll see me like Wednesday early. And yeah, at some point, guys, we're going to be breaking, you know, maybe 12 hours a day at least to start off at some point, maybe seven days a week. And then we'll continue to grow that, honestly. Now that we have Michael trained up, too, we'll have more more help like that. So that way, you know, when Joe's off or I'm off, or you know, whatever, we have more backup and stuff like that. So I'll be back at 2 o'clock tomorrow. But like I said, starting next week, I'll start at 3. But somebody will be live probably around 12. I believe it's supposed to start next week. So I'll keep you guys updated. So thank you, Carl. Like I said, if you want to try that Eminence tomorrow, man, I think we can probably sell a couple spots overnight and repost up some spots straight up. So, if you want to check back in tomorrow, man. But if not, thank you so much, man.  So thank you so much, man. Again, have a good night, Oliver. Anybody else? Joe, whoever else is watching. I'll see you guys, uh...
