All right, everybody, welcome to your Unbrook show on this Monday, November 13th. Again, the music, I have to fix the music. We will get to that. Thanks, thank you for joining me today. We just crossed 35,000, 35,000 subscribers suddenly overnight, really after midnight, so it's mostly this morning. We added like 50 something subscribers out of nowhere. So that is huge and very gratifying. So thank you for all of you for helping get to that number. My expectation is that it is the show I did last night on Ayan Hirsi Ali that has generated all of this. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe my call yesterday. Please subscribe. I got to people, but yes, Miroslav says 84 new subscribers from the Ayan Hirsi Ali show. So there you go. You have to sometimes, if you really hit it on the head with a topic or if you're super timely, and if then we can grow this thing. All right. A new target, and I really am going to devote some thinking to this and maybe some resources and hire some consultants maybe and see what we can do. But my new target is to get to 100,000, the algorithm I'm told starts favoring you significantly and you get a significant greater exposure. So I will give some thought on how we can really grow this channel and get ourselves on the map there and get some of this content in front of a lot of people. Subscriptions have grown significantly since October 7th. So people do value the content that I'm producing post massacre, post terrorist attack. This is also, there was a lot of interest post 9-11. A lot of this just has to do with getting the word out there and getting people engaged and getting people to know about it. So again, those of you who are listening, whether you're listening live or listening after the fact, please subscribe to the channel. We're targeting 100,000 over what timeframe you should ask. I'm not sure. I need to give it some thought and I need to see if I can find some consulting expertise, some marketing expertise that can help us get to that target. Not easy given the kind of content that I produce. All right. So today, I do have a change for this week already for the schedule shows. There will not be a show tomorrow evening. Instead there will be a show tonight. So join 7 p.m. East Coast time. Not exactly the topic. I do know that for part of the show, I will be joined by Greg Selmiri and Amish Adulja to talk about a project that they're working on, a conference that they're working on, on privatizing healthcare, which is coming up, I think. The conference is coming up maybe this coming weekend. So, but you can also sign up for it via Zoom. So they will be here to talk about that, but I would also be talking about something. I'll figure it out and I'll let you know. I'll let you know soon. Ian says ARI is at 122,000 followers and they just hit 100, like a week and a half ago. So yes, once you hit 100, I'm told that there is a dramatic acceleration in how YouTube treats you and you get massive more exposure. So getting to 100,000 seems to be pretty important if you really want to grow beyond that. So happy to try. Why not? Let's try to figure out what we need to do to get to 100,000 subscribers. I'm open to suggestions. I open to ideas. There's people out there who have marketing ideas, marketing expertise, but people with expertise, please. I get lots of ideas. I need people who are actually in the space doing this and have succeeded with YouTube and know how YouTube works and have ideas on how we can get the numbers up. That is, that is, I think it also helped that I was traveling through Europe and last week through the United States and urging people to subscribe. I think that also helps. It's people being exposed live to me. I think if I started to go on TV again, subscriptions would go up a lot. That is also an option. So we can, we can definitely, I'm definitely thinking about can I, can I do that and how to make that happen? All right, let's, let's start quickly with an update from the Gaza. Is always basically taking control of Gaza City, taking control of the entire north of Gaza. They are destroying 100, dozens, almost 100 last I saw of tunnel shafts. They are also causing tunnels to collapse, not just the shafts, but the tunnels themselves. They're basically taking control above ground at least of a much of the northern Gaza area. Hamas fighters either, you know, there's still some fighting going on in the streets, but most of them have either fled to the south or are dug in down there in the tunnels and are likely to be buried in those tunnels or die in those tunnels. As usual, kind of either smokes them out or collapses the tunnels on top of their heads. The, the big story has been over the, over the weekend is the other hospitals in, in particular, the one hospital, the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza, which is in the western, southwestern part of Gaza City. Israel basically has that hospital surrounded. The hospital claimed over the weekend that it had run out of fuel, that babies were dying, that patients were dying, electricity was gone, so oxygen was gone. Part of the real challenge, I'll get to that claim in a minute, part of the real challenge of figuring out what the hell is going on there is the very fact that there's just no news that's coming out and it's very difficult to get any reliable news. Most of the western media's reporting out of Gaza is basically the repeating talking points they're getting from Hamas. They're repeating what doctors and administrators inside the hospital are telling them. But the doctors and administrators are also talking to the Israeli military and they're telling them a different story. So it's not clear exactly, or at least that's what we hear when we talk to the Israelis. But there's very little news coming out of the Israeli side of this. A lot of the Israeli networks are now reporting much, I think, mostly for operational security. So most of what you get is basically propaganda from Hamas filtered through the New York Times of the Guardian and Boatas in terms of news. So the hospital is clearly running out of fuel. Maybe it's already run out of fuel. Maybe there is no electricity in the hospital. It is also true that Hamas has plenty of fuel and Hamas could have provided that fuel to the hospital if it so chooses, but it chosen not to. Israel has offered the hospital fuel. Indeed, there was video of Israelis moving fuel into position where the hospital personnel could take that fuel. Hamas prohibited the hospital personnel from taking that fuel. There were stories about Israel helping evacuate babies out of the hospital. I don't see any confirmation of those stories. I don't see any elaboration on those stories. So I don't know. There was the stories, of course, of Hamas trying to stop the Israelis from helping the hospital and keeping the babies alive. Very, very hard to tell in terms of the details what it is exactly happening. It is clear that Israel has, from the beginning of this war, asked civilians to evacuate. They've asked specific hospitals to shut down and to move their patients to other hospitals. They've asked civilians to evacuate south. Indeed, most of the population of northern Gaza has already evacuated to the south. And Israel constantly provides means by which civilians can evacuate to the south, the south which is for the most part not exclusively. Israel is not attacking right now, although there are some strikes on the air, unknown Hamas concentrations. Underneath the hospital, particularly Al-Shifa, but other hospitals as well, but in Al-Shifa it is believed that the main headquarters of Hamas in Gaza are right underneath the hospital. Israel has to take the hospital compound. It is a compound. It's not just one building. And then they have to find the tunnels and they either have to smoke them out or go in there. There's also some suspicion that these tunnels hold the, that the tunnels under Al-Shifa hold the hostages. Although there's a good chance that again, through the tunnel system, Hamas has moved a lot of the hostages to the south. For some reason Israel seems to have pretty confident that they can trap the Hamas in the north. So maybe those tunnels that connect the south and the north are being blocked, I don't know. But again, there's a lot of stuff going on in the ground that we're just not completely aware of. Let's see, what else did I want to say about the hospital? Yeah, other hospitals also have Hamas tunnels and headquarters underneath them. There might be hostages there. Israel is going very carefully, slowly, street by street and then hospital by hospital, building by building to try to rescue hostages if they're still there, to try to kill Hamas wherever they can and to destroy the tunnels and to destroy the infrastructure everywhere they can. They found weapons and missile launches and missiles in schools and mosques everywhere. So again, Israel is thoroughly going through northern Gaza to try to dismantle this. The Israeli Defense Secretary today said that Hamas has lost control of Gaza, that Israel now controls Gaza. I'm not sure if he means both south and north. Israel does not have a significant presence in the south. I don't know how he can argue that Israel controls the south. Missile launches are still happening, although they're far, far, far, far, far. Fewer degree and fewer numbers, but they're still happening. And so anyway, so we will see. Two Israeli soldiers were killed in Gaza on Sunday, which brings the count up to over 40 now, maybe 44, I think. Still a lot of work to be done for the Israelis. They still have to clear northern Gaza. They have to clear the room for the hospital. They have to evacuate patients and babies and whatever.  They have to find where Hamas is holding the hostages. They still don't have that. Or if they do have it, they haven't reached that place yet. And they haven't freed any hostages or encountered the bodies of any hostages. So there's an enormous amount of work still left. I think it's a mistake of the Israeli defense minister to say that Gaza has, that Hamas has no power in Gaza. It is true. He did say that Hamas has no power capable of stopping the IDF. They never did. But the reality is that Hamas is still there. Thousands of fighters are still unaccounted for, unkilled. Many of them are fled to the south. At some point, Israel will have to deal with the south as well. He is saying that in the last few days, they've intensified operations targeting tunnels. They're trying to get the terrorist out of the tunnels where they can be eliminated or where they can surrender unconditionally. And those are the only two options Israel is giving. Hamas surrender unconditionally or get killed. You've got to like it. According to the defense minister, and again, this is him, each day we eliminate more Hamas commanders, dozens and sometimes hundreds of terrorists, and the army operates in the heart of Gaza City. So basically the northern Gaza, he believes, is under Israel's control and they're operating throughout Gaza City. I think that is where we are right now. The north, as I've told you, would happen. The north is, Hezbollah is becoming more aggressive. You're seeing more missile attacks. You're seeing more attacks on Israelis. Israel is, I think, ramping up to deal with Hezbollah, whether it'll actually do it or not is still an open question. I both doubt it and seriously hope that they do. But it could be that Israel is going to be a lot tougher than I expect in this round. We will indeed see. Let's see. Yeah, so that is Gaza. I assume that in the next couple of days Israel will take control of the hospitals and in the days, weeks to come, we will get a reveal as to what is actually underneath the hospital. We will see. All right. Let's see. The UK surrender, I don't know if you saw the video from the weekend. On Saturday, we had in the United States, we had Memorial Day, sorry, Veterans Day, a day where we honor our veterans. In England, that same day this year was the day that they celebrate every year where they commemorate the soldiers, very, very similar to veterans. Everybody wears a symbol on them. And it's a very solemn day in England. They take this stuff seriously. And it was this weekend. Well, on that same day, both in the United States and in Britain, there were massive pro Hamas demonstrations.  And on this show, you don't, I don't mince words. They are pro Hamas demonstrations. And anybody demonstrating right now for Palestine is demonstrating for Hamas and anti Israel. There were demonstrations all over the United States. You saw the video of people tearing down American flags. Pretty horrific during Veterans Day.  You had the police doing very little, certainly not stopping these, but also doing very little when these demonstrators harassed people who accounted demonstrating, harassed Jews on Saturday when synagogue, when people left synagogue, they were being harassed outside of the synagogues as part of these demonstrations. The police with all due respect to London police have done very little. Well, there was one member of the UK government that seemed to stand up against these demonstrations and the ugliness that they projected. And that is, and I can't pronounce the name, Soella, Soella, I think, Breveman, Soella Breveman, who is the interior secretary. She wrote on November 12th after she had significantly criticized the police for being too weak in a dealing with the demonstrators. On September, November 12th yesterday, she wrote the following, our great police officers deserve the thanks of every decent citizen for their professionalism in the face of violence and aggression from protesters and counter protesters in London yesterday, that multiple officers were injured during their during their duty is an outrage. So she's trying to soften her stance on police, which was much harsher the days before this. She goes on. The sick inflammatory and in some cases clearly criminal chance placards and paraphernalia openly on display at March mark a new low. Antisemitism and other forms of racism, together with the valorizing of terrorism on such a scale is deeply troubling. This can't go on. Whoops. What happened? This can't go on week by week. The streets of London are being polluted by hate, violence, and anti-Semitism. Members of the public are being mobbed and intimidated. Jewish people in particular feel threatened. Further action is necessary. And what you're seeing with this by the way, the name of the day in Great Britain is almost this day. And what you're so here she is taking a stand, taking a stand, the sick inflammatory in some cases clearly criminal chance, taking a stand against the demonstrators, taking a stance for tougher policing, for securing for better security for Jews and others in London. What was the reward she got this morning? Well, this morning, the Prime Minister fired her. She was fired for being inflammatory. She was fired for not standing by the police. She was fired for calling the demonstrators sick and inflammatory. She was fired for talking about the streets of London being polluted by hate, violence, and anti-Semitism. I mean, this is basically the surrender of the West, certainly the surrender of Great Britain to the mob, to the barbarians, to the evil that is demonstrating in its streets. These are not just Muslims. You look at photos, half Brits, half immigrants probably, or Muslims that have been in England for a long time, but many of them are just regular Brits. And Selena Breviman, for standing up to this, gets fired. Now, I'm not a huge fan of Breviman. She's not my favorite. I didn't support her when she went for Prime Minister. But on this, she is absolutely right. And to do this on Armistice Day is despicable in that the police and the mayor of London allowed it on Armistice Day is despicable and ridiculous. Indeed, the mayor of London, a Muslim, supported the right of the demonstrators, supported the demonstration going on during Armistice Day, and criticized Selena, for her stance against the demonstrations, criticized the government for taking a stand against demonstrations during Armistice Day. Anyway, the reward is she's been fired. The foreign secretary is going to become interior secretary. And James Cameron, you remember James Cameron, who used to be Prime Minister of England, and he fought against Brexit, lost that fight and resigned. Well, he is back as foreign secretary. Cameron, who is being accused of all kinds of potential corruption. Cameron, who is a non-descript, nothing. Basically, what this conservative government has decided to do is become a nothing. What this conservative government has decided to do is be centrist, standing for nothing, being nothing, representing nothing.  The haters of Western civilization, the haters of progress, the haters of freedom, who are now taking over the streets of England. I mean, God, I love London. As you know, one of my favorite places in the world by far, what a tragedy. What an unbelievable tragedy. Just a hands up, give it to them, and that's it. All right. Yeah, British police doing nothing, of course. I saw pictures all weekend of British police taking pictures with the demonstrators, with Palestinian flags, little Palestinian flags.   But the government is doing something about it. They are moving to the center, where they stand for nothing. All right. As we talked about, a lot of talk about World War III, lately. And I think as a consequence of that, Biden and Xi have decided to meet. They have decided to meet in order to show the world that, no, we're not heading towards a World War. We can still get together. We can still talk. They are meeting in San Francisco. It is really interesting. This is at the APEC meeting. I'm not sure what APEC stands for. Anyway, they're meeting in San Francisco. It is pretty amazing. I've seen pictures of San Francisco over the weekend. It is stunning. You know, San Francisco doesn't have a homeless problem anymore. The streets are completely clean of human experiment. Suddenly, San Francisco has returned to its glory days somehow. In order to facilitate a meeting between Biden and Xi, they managed to solve the homeless problem, or at least transport it somewhere else where it cannot be seen.   But when politicians meet important ones, big ones, autocratic ones, then they can clean the place up. The government no longer serves the people. It serves itself. It serves the power structure. It serves those at the top. We are nobody and nothing. It's all, it's all just a game. Anyway, Xi and Biden are meeting, and they're going to have some agreement. So they're obviously going to have some disagreement. But one of the things they obviously agree about is that AI is dangerous. Biden has already come out with massive regulations of the AI industry through executive order. Xi, too, has significantly regulated the AI primarily with regard to what AI tells the people. He wants to make sure that whatever AI tells people is consistent with Communist Party dogma of the moment. So they share this distrust and hatred of AI. So they have come together, and supposedly they're going to pledge a ban on AI in autonomous weapons, like drones, nuclear warhead control, and other things. They don't want AI deciding when and where to drop the nuke. They don't want AI deciding who to shoot and who not to shoot. Who knows what this means. There's AI already in drones. There's AI already in aircraft. There's AI already being used extensively by the military, certainly in the United States. So is this completely autonomous? Anyway, we'll see if this is ever done, if this is ever released. We'll see what exactly the provisions account for. But always funny. I always find it somewhat funny when the leader of the so-called free world and the leader of some authoritarian regime that specializes in lying, cheating, deceiving, its own people, never mind the rest of the world, meet, and then they have a treaty. They sign a deal. As if one can count on authoritarians to keep their side of the deal. As if one can count on the bad guys to actually follow whatever ban treaty is going to be engaged. There's no question. She likes this because he's worried that the US is ahead.  But also because he's worried that China might be ahead on AI. Is there any doubt that as soon as one of these countries knows they're ahead, they will implement autonomous weapons, particularly China. China knows they're ahead. But I guess at this point they want to show that they're united, that they can do something together, that the world is not on the brink, and that if we do go into nuclear annihilation, it won't be, you know, the computers that do it, it'll be humans that actually do it, not computers. So yeah, so I'm looking forward to more tidbits from the Biden-Kshi meeting in San Francisco, and maybe more photos of how beautiful the city, how beautiful the city has been made for them. All right. Lastly, Trump and elections. First, let me just say Tim Scott has dropped out of the presidential election. So Tim Scott, one less Republican out there, so basically down to two people, really, I think realistically. I think Vivek is poll numbers are pretty low. Christie was never really a factor, particularly given that he, you know, his attacks on Trump while true have not really resonated with anybody, have not really stuck. So down basically to Nikki Haley and DeSantis, and to Vivek for second place after Trump. I think this is all good. I think the sooner this gets trimmed down to one, the greater the probability is that somebody could defeat Trump, but they can't defeat Trump as long as they are five, six. But I don't think they can even defeat Trump when there's just one or two. I do hope Christie stays in the fight long enough to keep chipping at Trump, to keep creating a question mark on Trump in people's minds. And then let Nikki and DeSantis duke it out. I do hope one of them drops out early so that once we get into certainly for Super Tuesday, it's basically Trump versus rather than Trump is a sure thing, right? Rather than Trump is a sure thing. If Trump is elected as the nominee, again, it's very likely Biden wins while Trump is doing well in the polls right now versus Biden. I think once Americans start listening to him, I think it's probably the probability of him winning will decline significantly. I'll give you just one example. Just over this weekend, Donald Trump joked about the hammer attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband, joking about violence or something very popular in the American people. I mean, the base loves it, but beyond that, I'm not sure that will bring about too many independence. He praised the Chinese use of the death penalty, praised Chinese use of the death penalty. Again, not surprising, but I'm not sure brings, you know, not that many people enamored with China's justice system. I'm not sure he wins a lot of votes there. He referred to political opponents of vermin. Generally, he is doing everything he can to dehumanize the left and to make them, which is the common tactic again of authoritarians. Again, not a good tactic. I don't think if you want to win a general election. He lavished praise on Hungarian proto-facist strongman Viktor Orban. We know that he's done that over and over again. And then he seems confused because he is confused. He's also getting older and he is a little confused about who the president was right now. At some point, he quoted Orban as saying that Obama should resign and restore Trump to the presidency. Obama's not president anymore. Anyway, Orban is a monster. And the fact that he is praising him is, again, plays well to a certain authoritarian type, people who want authoritarianism, people who want the government to impose religion and control over the media on us. But he is a monster. Yeah, Richard, he is your kind of monster, exactly. It's exactly who I'd expect to be attracted to him. But, you know, here's a guy who generally, here's a guy, presidential nominee, who's generally, genuinely admires the brutality of the Chinese. The authoritarianism of Putin and Xi. Here's a guy who finds violence, I think, exciting. I think that's right. And loves the world's authoritarianism. Loves the world's fascist. Loves the authoritarianism out there. Listen to Trump's tweet for Veterans Day. Right? Veterans Day. Is the focus on veterans? No, of course not. In honor of our great veterans on Veterans Day, we pledge to you that we will root out communists, Marxists, fascists and radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country, lie, steal and cheat on elections, and will do anything possible whether legal or illegal to destroy America and the American Dream. The threat from outside forces is far less sinister. Don't worry about China, Russia and Hamas. Dangerous and grave than the threat from within, despite the hatred and anger of the radical left, lunatics who want to destroy our country, we will make America great again. That's Veterans Day. That's his respect for veterans, for what they fought for. Half of Americans need to be rooted out, maybe eradicated, who knows. But this is clearly dehumanizing language, vermin, what you're calling other Americans. You might disagree with them. And this is why he's loved. He's loved for this kind of stuff. This is the state of American society, American society today. All right. We will have a lot more on Trump. I mean, his plans to have raids, build giant camps and mass deportation of migrants, that's going to be really exciting to watch. Operation Whitbank, I think they're going to call it. His embrace of the radical right in the United States and his filling of his cabinet and the regulatory posts and other posts with these people. I mean, his first administration will be just amazingly pro-freedom as compared to what he has installed for America in a second administration, where the worst elements of the right will be in control of much of the levels of power in this country. And yeah, it's going to be really, really, really ugly. All right. Richard says, I've got his contempt. That's good. But he's here every day. It's just amazing to me. Like if I didn't like somebody, I wouldn't go listen to him all the time.  God. All right. Let's see. All right. Let's go to questions. Remind everybody to like the show before you leave, please. It helps a lot with the algorithm. Those of you who are not subscribers, I'm reminding you to please subscribe to the show. By the way, what I just said about Trump, my guess is I lose about 30 of the 80 people who subscribed. That's the challenge I face on some issues. I gain them on some, I lose them.  So who knows who are subscribed to. But yes, please subscribe if you're not a subscriber yet. And if you'd like to support the show value for value, please consider doing a super chat. Ask me a question about anything pretty much. And you can also do just a sticker where you don't have to ask a question, but you can still support the show value for value. And we can reach our goals. And again, this is what I, this is my livelihood. All right. Rimo says, how did the Fed cause the Great Depression?  The Fed caused Great Depression by doing multiple things, as always, by basically inflating, if you will, the equivalent of inflating the money supplied during the 1920s and causing a bubble, among other things, a bubble in the stock market during 1929. That is because they held interest rates too low and flooded the money with too much liquidity. After the crash of 1929, the Federal Reserve did exactly the opposite of what you'd expect a central bank to do and what the central banks have tried to do since, but again, not very successfully in most cases. What they tried to do is, what they did, indeed, after the crash of 2029, is instead of allowing for more liquidity in the markets, allowing for lower interest rates, allowing for borrowing and lending to happen so the economic activity could continue as the markets collapsed. They actually shrunk the money supply. They actually restricted capital in money and bank lending. They tightened lending requirements. They tightened everything so that what you got was bank runs. What you got was panic. What you got was a shortage of capital. What you got was significant price shrinkage. It's together with other governmental policies like smooth holly tariffs, in other words, and raising the income tax rate, doubling the income tax rate during the Hoover administration, those together, the Federal Reserve tightening money supply as well as, at the same time, tariffs going up and income taxes going up, all of that took what would have been a recession with a fit, with a correction and everything coming back to normal and turned it into a great depression. Now, the certain complexities around that have to do with the gold standard, have to do with the British gold standard, foreign trade, but that's essentially, I think, essentially what happened. And I think this is pretty universally agreed upon. Bernanke, I think won the Nobel Prize for identifying elements of this. Milton Friedman in his kind of big book on the history of interest rates in the United States talks about this. And so, yeah, I mean, that is the short version of how the Fed caused the Great Depression. You can follow, well, I mean, I think you can find a lot of material online about this. If you search Federal Reserve Great Depression, I think you'll find a lot of material on this. There are a number of economists who talk about this quite a bit and thoroughly and systematically. All right, we have 120 people watching live right now. That is phenomenal. Thank you, guys. Oh, thank you, Wes. We're just at $50 cut basically in half what we need in order to get to our target. So basically, what we need is two or three, really three, exactly three, $20 questions, and we have reached our target, which would be fantastic. Okay, friend Harper says, venting and frustration. The meaning of the term genocide has been widely inflated in the culture. The epistemological damage that comes from inflating the meaning of terms seems long lasting and particularly impossible to fix. Absolutely. Once they take over a concept, it's very hard to bring its appropriate meaning back or to present a new so that the rotten meaning gets established and gets to be part of the culture and part of the way people think about issues and you lose both the original meaning and the value of having a concept of the original meaning. And so something like genocide becomes the killing of anybody during war or civilians during warfare. So genocide means a systematic elimination of particular ethnic or particular group systematically. And, you know, but you wouldn't historically have called what the allies did to Japan or what the allies did to Germany as genocide, even though hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of millions of civilians died in the bombing campaigns, both in Japan and in Germany.  It is automatically genocide. Israel, of course, is accused of committing genocide, which is ludicrous and absurd and ridiculous. Clearly. I mean, there's no doubt about this. Israel is far more concerned about preserving the lives of civilian Palestinians than is Hamas, or for that matter, the other organized group within the Palestinian realm. It is Hamas that cares nothing for the lives of Palestinians. If Palestinians are dying, it is because of Hamas. And Hamas does zero to try to save them. Israel does more than it should to try to save them. All right. Andrew says, when an intellectual like Sam Harris reacts to Ayn Rand by hand waving or distorting her views, I judge it as cowardice. Despite courage in lesser areas, when his views are fully challenged, he evades. Is that fair or too harsh? I think overall, it is fair. And I'd say that the main part of it that is fair is the fact that he won't engage, right? If he was willing to engage in a serious way with the ideas and still dismiss them, I would say, okay, maybe it's a cowardice. It might be still evasion, but it's not cowardice. And it's not not wanting to go there. It's not not wanting to confront it. You know, it could be laziness. I don't know. But he won't even go there. He, you know, he's so many people over the years have recommended to him to have an objective to on or to discuss objective. And he just, as you said, hand waves it away. I think there's real cowardice there, the intellectual cowardice to actually engage with ideas and maybe thinks are so despicable, so ridiculous, so it's so beneath him that that he won't even give them the time of day. He won't even give them the benefit of the doubt. And that is possible. But it's still really, I mean, of all the ideas out there. And he's interviewed almost everybody in a show. These are the ideas that you find most upsetting. These are the ideas that are most horrific. That is, it is weird. Something's going on there. The unique about his attitude towards objectivism and I ran versus his attitude towards many other issues and causes out there and many other people out there. So I'm not sure exactly what it is. All right, guys, basically, you know, less than a dollar for everybody listening right now would get us our goal. So if you don't mind doing a dollar or two sticker or $5 or $10, that would be great just to get us to where we should be on these super chats. All right, Andrew says, Do you think objectivist takes on issues will be acceptable to YouTube? Well, they have been so far, right?  So it doesn't surprise me. But I haven't seen, other than on COVID, I haven't seen YouTube push back on anything I've said. And I've said some pretty harsh things. I've said some stuff about casualties and war. I've said some stuff on how to engage in war. I've said some stuff about all these things. And so far, right, the YouTube has not stopped me, has not demonetized, well, demonetized, but has not said, stop doing this, we're going to take you off if you do. So yeah, I mean, yeah, here's another one of those calling for victimhood. Very harsh towards me, Richard said. Poor Richard. I really feel so sorry for Richard.  Scott says, we'll talk about another one. All right, when you say on history, Ali is wrong, do you mean more an era of knowledge or a breach of morality? I mean, I suspect it's a breach of morality. And I suspect that's the case. I suspect that there are certain things where she won't go there, where evasion is involved, which is, you know, objectives on breach of morality. So I suspect, find her soon, Ali, you know, it is a breach of morality. I certainly think she has the capacity. She's has the exposure. She's made certain choices about the ideas that she wants to attach herself to. And that's where she's going. And so yeah, I mean, I have no problem saying it's a breach of morality. But I think I think almost everybody has is breaching morality out there in the world. You know, not going to call it evil or anything like that. But it is, you know, I'm not going to say she's an immoral person, but this is a breach of morality. There's nothing strategic about it. I mean, and again, she's going to church every Sunday. You know, she's, I believe her when she says, I don't think she's lying. Now, does she believe in God suddenly? She doesn't indicate that in her statement. And that's says something. I don't know if she believes in God, but she's on a path to believe in God. She seems to want to believe in God. So I think she's moving in that direction, even though I don't think she does yet. So I do think, I do think it's more, and again, she didn't have to mention she goes to church on Sundays and is learning about Christianity. And again, look at her husband. I think you'll learn a lot from the fact that she's married to an Alphagus and who is a standard conservative, who is religious, as a kind of British religious, not evangelical religious, but religious, goes to church on Sunday, believes values come from religion. Again, whether they believe in God or not, whether she believes in God, who knows if she ever will. We'll see. We'll see what happens from now on. Francisco says, when I tried to defend America, people all the time put out wars America fought, the Korean, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan were pretty bad and killed a lot of people, which were innocent. No, it's, you have to reject that completely.  On the standards of altruism, America is wonderful, because there would be no South Korea today, if not for America. And there was a small hope that they might be a South Vietnam separate from North Vietnam. But America lost that war in a way that precluded South Vietnam from sustaining South Vietnam from sustaining itself, right? So, but, and Iraq, Iraq was Operation Iraqi Freedom. We did everything, sacrificed our troops, sacrificed gazillions of dollars, not for American self interest, but to bring democracy to Iraq. And the same with Afghanistan. We stayed there for 20 years to try to bring them civilization. So, I agree that all of these wars are rotten wars because they're all wars of self sacrifice. They're all wars of thinking about the benefit to others rather than your own benefit. America obviously didn't kill enough people to win the wars. Innocence. I mean, the Iraqis should have been happy, celebratory, for the fact that Americans were willing to sacrifice their young men in order to rid the Iraqis of Saddam Hussein. Instead, they turned on America, as if America had done something bad. It hadn't. Most of the civilians killed, the innocents killed in Iraq were killed because of the insurgency, not because of America. America did everything it could not to kill any civilians. It killed very few before the insurgency. So instead of the Iraqis being grateful for the sacrifice, true sacrifice that America committed in getting rid of Saddam Hussein, they're at fault for everybody who died there, particularly post the first few weeks of the war. The same in Afghanistan. We got rid of the Taliban for them. We gave them an opportunity to establish a free country. We gave them money. We gave them troops. We gave them education. We gave them a gazillion things. How did they reward us by supporting the Taliban in trying to overturn that? America is at fault here, but at fault towards Americans, towards its troops, towards its soldiers, not towards the Iraqis and Afghans or the Vietnamese or the Koreans. And the Koreans are thankful, I think, because they got a South Korea, they got a free country. James says, is consumerism bad? I was traveling and realized some places are all about shopping and nonstop materialism. Do you think this is a bad thing or a good thing? What does it say about the culture? I think overall, it is a good thing. I think it's over the top and too much when there's nothing else, when people don't appreciate culture, when people don't focus on culture, and when they let the materialism be on consuming for them. So I have nothing against lots of consumerism. Yes, the world, to a large extent, is one big mall. But that's a beautiful thing in many respects. I wish it was also a big museum. I wish there was respect and admiration for good music. I wish there were other spiritual values that people cared about. But I don't want to take away from them caring about some material, a lot of material things. I want to add to that them caring about spiritual values as well. So I am not a critic of consumerism. Although I am a critic of materialism and overly obsessing about the material, particularly when it comes at the expense of your own character, your own soul, when it comes at the expense of kind of a more spiritual engagement with things like aesthetics. Richard, a commentator stated San Francisco cleaned up to avoid she criticizing capitalism. Yeah, it's okay if I criticize.  It's an economic system, not a political system. What do you think? No, it is a political system, but we don't have it. The point is that we don't live under capitalism. We live under the mixed economy, under a mixed political system, a system of some freedom and a lot of not not freedom. In a true capitalist society, the sidewalks would be privately owned. And there would be no extra mint in the street. In a true capitalist society, the government would be our representatives and seeking to protect our rights, not to not to impress foreign leaders. So the problem is capitalism is a social, political, economic system that doesn't exist today. We have a little bit of it and a lot of statism. And it's the statists who don't clean up the streets. If the streets were owned by the store owners that lie in those streets, they would be clean. They would be clean. But the streets are not the responsibility of the store owners, the streets are the responsibility of city government. And city government has other priorities, i.e. appeasing the homeless, catering to the homeless, except when she visits and then they clean them up.  Jai Jai Jigwi says, are political authorities, governments in the West, in the pocket of some way under the spell of Islamic forces, it almost seems conspiratorial. No. Other than we like to appease the Saudis. And by the way, it's an item in the news. I'll mention it tomorrow maybe. The Arab League met in the Saudis, among others, among several Arab countries, like eight or nine of them, basically vetoed a proposition that would have been very, very anti-Israel, and very, and quite pro-Hamas, and very anti-West. And Saudi Arabia, and some of the Gulf States, and Egypt, and Jordan, and a number of others, Djibouti, and I think Sudan as well, basically voted against it or abstained from it, which made it impossible for the resolution to pass. But no, I don't think there's a conspiracy. I think it's just altruism, and it just states, it's just political correctness. It's just world culture out there. And yeah, that is, there's no conspiracy. We do try to appease the Saudis, for a variety of reasons, including oil. James says, is the UK getting worse? I wanted to live in London over the last three years. It appears to feed them economically, speech, and et cetera, getting, yes. I mean, a few years ago, I was very optimistic about England, primarily because the Conservative government, it seemed like it was moving in the right direction. And then suddenly, they took a left turn, and they're horrible. They're really, really, really bad. They need to lose the next election in a landslide. Not that I wish the Labour Party on anybody, but the Conservatives need to lose. They really need to lose. They need to lose big in significant ways. Antonio says, thank you for what you say and do. I appreciate it. Thank you, Antonio. John says, objectivism is a religion. No, it's not. I mean, it doesn't qualify as a religion even by the most simplest basic definition of religion. And mainly, there's just no faith in objectivism. And if you exclude faith and exclude the mystical, and you exclude accepting things just because, then it's not a religion. You might not agree with objectivism, and that's fine. You might think it's a shitty philosophy, and that's fine. But to mislabel it is just dumb. The fact that objectivism has a morality, an absolutist morality, the fact that objectivism views good and evil as existing in the world, not as just metaphysically existing, but existing in human beings in the world, in their actions does not make it a religion. The reality is that the West is so steeped in skepticism that anybody that says anything with any kind of conviction is labeled a religionist, and that's just sloppy thinking. It's just sloppy thinking. It's just not true. All right. Thank you guys. Thank you to all the superchatters. I really, really appreciate it. And thank you for those of you who are watching.

This cross-sectional online survey studying to investigate HPV vaccination rates, knowledge, acceptance, and associated factors in a sample of Chinese college students from December 2018 to March 2019. The results showed that only 3.1% of the sample had been vaccinated against HPV, with low levels of knowledge about HPV and its vaccination among both males and females. Concerns about safety and effectiveness were the main barriers to undergoing HPV vaccination, and measures such as strengthening health education, improving vaccination safety and effectiveness, and reducing vaccine prices should be taken to promote HPV vaccination among Chinese college students. This article was authored by Che Deng, Shelley Chen, and Yan Chun Liu.


We quickly learned that the jungle is pretty unforgiving. Repair us, come in with the 38th Rescue Squadron, and we're currently in Oahu, Hawaii, doing some jungle warfare training and tracking. PJs are the ground component to the Special Operations Force in the United States Air Force. And we conduct a very unique mission set, you know, personal recovery combat, search and rescue. We can do that organically. We're not tied to one specific airframe. We can work in our service. The big thing is just getting us to that point, and then we can kind of figure out the problem after that. At every level, national defense strategy all the way down to the wing and group priorities has been endopacom. With that, you're talking about long distances, over water, very, very austere areas separated by thousands of miles. I think over the last 20 years, we've gotten really good at desert warfare with the war in Afghanistan and Iraq. We're really having to take a step back from some of the older TTPs that seem to work well in the desert and figure out how to adapt to this environment, which is, you know, way more difficult to operate in. The jungle is a very unforgiving environment. There are areas of the jungle that you can only travel 100 meters an entire day. And so with them traveling that amount of distance, they're just gonna get used to that environment. We're working with a contractor to show us all the skills we need to know to not only survive in the environment, but also operate. There are environments where there's good track traps. It takes years to get to the level of proficiency to track somebody, especially in the jungle. This only makes us more capable. It's critical and honestly, this is probably the closest that we can get to an actual jungle being here in Hawaii. It mimics the climate, the foliage that we're gonna probably experience if we find ourselves out there. And this forces us to evolve our tactics to a point where we can get even better at tracking people, looking for that pilot that's lost. Be afraid to pick it up and look how this is crushed here. We can make mistakes in training, but when you're out there for real and you're running operations, you wanna already kind of have those plans in place so that you know how to effectively and efficiently reach somebody and complete your mission. Special warfare airmen have a unique capability that we can add to agile combat employment that nobody else has. It's a specialized group of individuals that can rescue people from austere areas combined with tack peas who can create command and control nodes anywhere in the world. When you combine those two, you have the ability to rescue people closer to the four line of troops, communicate over long distances, and then we present those options to the combined force air component commander to the lead wing commander. And he has options on how to recover his airmen effectively. So pilots and aircrew should rest easy knowing that we can rescue them from any environment to include jungle. I mean, hopefully this doesn't happen, but you do this training because when it does inevitably happen, you're ready for it.

Live from the Javits Center in New York City, it's theCUBE, covering Inforum 2017. Brought to you by Inforum. Welcome back to Inforum 2017. I'm your host, Rebecca Knight, along with my co-host, Dave Vellante. We're joined by Mark Scabelli. He is the Chief Creative Officer here at Infor. Thanks so much for returning to theCUBE. Well, thanks for having me again. It's good to see you guys. So, last year, the big announcement was H&L Digital, Hook and Loop Digital. Bring us up to speed. Give us a status update of where you are now. Well, we're a year later. I think what's really important is that we've established our application development framework, which allows us to rapidly deploy our prototypes, rapidly deploy the project we're working on for a lot of customers. We've had a lot of wins over the last year. We're working closely with Brooklyn Sports, both the basketball team and the stadium and the entertainment center. Working with Travis Perkins. We're working with American Express. So, we've got a lot of great client wins in our belt. We've learned a lot over the last year. But most importantly, we've been able to actually fine tune our application development framework to be able to bring that stuff to market very quickly for our customers, which has been a very big deal for us. So, you mentioned a couple of client wins. Brooklyn Sports, let's unpack that a little bit. Tell our viewers specifically what's going on. Yeah, so, Brooklyn Nets, basketball team here in the US, right? So, player performance a little bit down. So, we're working with the performance coaches. We're working with the telemetric data that's coming off of the players. Things as it pertains to the arc of the ball throw or the skeletal models of how they perform or how much sleep they're getting. We're tying into a lot of IoT devices that the players use. We're bringing all of that data into one place for the performance coaches and then allowing them to make better decisions on the field, on the court in real time. So, you'll see actually, behind you guys is our half court. We've actually set up a half court to show some of that data that we're bringing in about player performance. We actually run an NBA player assessment and show your player readiness. I hit like an 8% readiness for it. Hey. There's still time. There's still time. Yeah, five, eight. I think I was really going to get very far on the NBA. High single digits. Yeah, high. Yeah, real high. So, we're working a lot around player performance certainly and then also as well with Brooklyn Sports Entertainment around the Barclay Center here in Brooklyn, how they can start to brand that experience. Nobody really has an affinity for an arena, right? You go and see Beyonce or you go to watch the Nets. You don't really think about going to the Barclay Center. So, how do you start as soon as they walk in the door engaging with a customer, using technology to drive all this value all the way through? How do you find the shortest beverage and bar line? How do you find the cleanest bathroom? How do you find to get beverage and drinks and food delivered to your seat? That's what we're going to be technology that's going to drive that. So, like a lot of our clients, we've installed the digital backbone, the underpinnings of that with our Cloud Suite. And now it's our job to come in and start creating these apps that differentiate them in the marketplace, help Barclays compete against other Nixon stadiums. So, the Nets example, it's similar to Moneyball, but different. He's talking to Ark of the Ball and so the remediation of some of those or the optimization of some of those is just different training patterns or different exercises or drills that they can do. Whereas in Moneyball, it's like this unseen value on base percentage, for example. But are there analogs to some Moneyball? Like I was listening to an interview with an owner the other day and the interviewer was beating him up about one player. And he said, well, if you look at the deeper analytics, they're like, oh, deeper analytics, what does that mean? So, are there deeper analytics that you can explore? Yeah, you know, we've left a lot of the basketball to the basketball professionals. And when we started this thing, the GM said to us, you know, should we really get this started with you guys? What do you know about basketball? And we looked around, it's like an Englishman next to me and myself were like, we don't know a lot about basketball. But we hope that's what you're bringing to the table. We know a lot about how to bring, you know, the data science together, we can bring the AI in, we can bring all that together for your performance coaches and work with them, just like we don't know a lot about farming and agriculture, but we can work with feed companies to help them optimize for their customers. So it's not about like what we know about basketball, but to your point, those performance coaches are definitely finding those little nuggets of data to help those teams perform better. I couldn't tell you one off top of my head because that's how little I know about basketball. My 8% performance rating will show you that, but they are looking inside that data and able to find that. And the trick is bringing it to them in real time, bringing it so that they don't have to go into deep Excel documents, that's what they were doing before. There's all stored in Excel and they had to go through and then maybe somebody would make a pivot table or something and they- We're watching play tapes. We're watching play tapes, absolutely, of course. And by being able to assess all that data too as well and bring that into the feed and be able to actually assess that and report it back into the larger system we're providing, it gives them a lot more visibility so they can find those little nuggets that they know as basketball professionals. And first is part of the solution? Not currently, no, but certainly we will be needing to put burst into that play, yeah. So Thomas Perkins is another example. Travis Perkins, yeah. Travis Perkins, I'm sorry, that you mentioned. What kinds of things are you doing there to make that company able to really use data more wisely? So Travis Perkins is one of the largest building manufacturing supply company in the UK. Over 2,000 distribution locations across England. Very strong in its footprint. It's a really strong brand in terms of sort of the Home Depot of the UK. They put in M3 last year as a big announcement and it was a very large initiative for them. That's a digital backbone we talk about, right? So now it's our job, we're coming in now and we're automating a lot of their systems for their distribution centers so they get a better customer experience. So when I go into a Travis Perkins distribution center, I can get what I need much quicker. So that's kind of the baseline thing that we come in and do.  How do we create that? How do we create engagements for visibility models for the distribution managers to be able to see what's selling, what's not selling, who's performing, who's not performing. So those are things that we do with the baseline of the experience. And then additionally to that is we look at new business models with them. So we're actually helping them think about new ways that they can create subscription models or ecosystem models. So for example, working on, they're working on the tool locker rental, setting up a basically locker or a rental facility and then using software to be able to access that locker and then you sort of create a subscription model to that. I'm able to just pull up, punch in a code, that's my tool locker, I can get my tools right out of it and I can drive right off. So, and then doing it in places geographically that make a lot of sense for them. So that's kind of the best side of it. I think we get these signature experiences that optimize on top of the backbone, but then we create these whole new business transformation models for these companies. That's really exciting, really helpful. Retail is an interesting example. Everybody's got an Amazon War Room trying to figure out how to compete, where they can add value. What have you seen specifically in the retail business? Yeah, I just moderated a panel with the CIO of DSW and the COO of Creighton Barrel on either side of me and it was exciting to see that they feel a disruption but they're certainly eager to take it over. So on the Creighton Barrel side, we're seeing them be really beat up by the wayfarers of the world. Three billion dollar valuation. They can get to market much quicker. They're running products in a much different way, where Creighton Barrel has a much longer lead time around the CPQ mile, right? They've got to configure a price that quoted get it out, takes 12 weeks to get a couch. How do you get, on the supply chain side, how do you get that shorter? So they're working with them for to get that supply chain shorter so they can compete on shorter lead times, but what we're coming in to help them do is also look at how can you start to create experiences while you're waiting for that couch to be produced or while you're shopping online. What are the things I can do to know how long it'll take to get that item? And now we just take all that digital backbone of that supply chain and create new experiences for it. On the DSW side, we've been working really closely with them on Point of Sale, as well as deep customer experience apps for them with their employees. They really see their employees as the key tool to driving loyalty to their stores. So we've been working on brand new apps in mobile space that will help their employees be able to serve their customers a lot better, have a much more tied loyalty program to their job performance with the customer's loyalty. So a lot of great things they're working hard on, but certainly it's a massive behemoth of competing against Amazon as a retailer, certainly. So what's your advice then for a company that is, I mean, you're talking about companies that are already being very thoughtful and planful about this transformation and understanding, first of all, that they need to transform, that they need to change or else they'll be left behind. But so what's your advice for companies that are just starting on it? I think we've got to look at this as a holistic approach, right? We cannot take a little nibble bite size out of the problem, right? So when it comes to digital, looking at the entire ecosystem, looking at the operations, looking at the customer, looking at the employee, saying, what are we doing on our core backbone of the operations to make that run efficiently and automate that? Let's do that. Let's get that out of the way of all those people. Let's make that run as quickly and extremely as possible. Our CloudSuite certainly helped companies do that. And then let's look at how we can start to transform the way they function inside their business by creating these functionally integrated models between all three, between the operations, the customer and the employee. And let's create new experiences that live on top of that backbone that drive new value. And until you do that, until you leverage your brand, like creating barrel can leverage their brand if they just shorten that supply chain and start to optimize for how they deliver, DSW can leverage their brand as a shoe warehouse if they provide a larger assortment and a better experience in store they can compete against Amazon. So to do that, we need them to, I would recommend companies to give them, think of the approach holistically and not as small little bites of just, let's create this app and this one app is going to solve our problems. It's not, you've got this much larger holistic approach you need to take, yeah. What percent of the Infor portfolio has Hook and Loop touched, affected? So Hook and Loop Core, certainly the GA products, they've touched everything. You'll see tomorrow on stage, Ninsia Esposito, a new head of Hook and Loop Core, who's running the business that when I first met you, I was running, right there, they're doing very well and they've touched, I would say percentage wise, 80% of the product, if not more. Certainly the products that are driving our business like EAM, HCM, financials, they have reinvented. You'll see tomorrow they've done some incredible work. They just, they'll be releasing tomorrow. Pretty exciting, a new UX for our entire cloud suite. So that's pretty incredible, right? How Coleman will be integrated into our clouds, it's a big deal. So how do you create a UX for that? And then certainly, of course, how much UX and UI do you take away because you introduce Coleman? You can take a lot of UX and UI away. A lot of functionality gets tripped away. So it's changed the methodologies we've used in the Hook and Loop Core team, but Ninsia has done a great job challenging himself to do that. I know Rebecca you were saying when you read the press releases around Infor, like they use the terms like, you know, beautiful you don't ever see it, so it's very Apple-esque. Where do you get your inspiration? I think it's the consumer-grade products we talked about years ago when I first met you. You know, the idea that how I function my daily life at home should echo how I function at work. Certainly now we're getting inspiration for how companies that are born digitally creating these models that drive them, how we can help other companies do that as well. So we're inspired by everything that touches us.  I might be the only person left. That's not true. They're doing very well. I like the little sound effects of Tivo. I know what you mean. They're doing very well, so I can't say I'm the only person, but I'm probably the first little minute that I love my Tivo, but these are things I've watched them not just change their UX, like we did within four or five years ago, but now they've changed their business model. They've changed what they've become as a hub and as a digital solution. How they use media channels to drive their business. I think that's incredible. It's a similar journey we're going on. So there's a lot to be inspired by. And why should the consumer guys have all the fun? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, certainly. So how do you keep your team? You're the chief creative officer. So how do you, you talked about what inspires you and what inspires the company as a whole, but how do you keep a culture of creativity and innovation going? How do you keep that momentum? You know, we've been really fortunate to have a really great support system by the executive team. Charles Phillips, Duncan Ango, certainly.  Like David was 15 people, maybe a little more. And now it's 120 that run that core team. When we launched H&L Digital last year, we were like nine people, now we're over 40. That investment, those dollars they put back into those, these kinds of endeavors are really indicative of that. And I think that it comes through to the creatives and the other people that we bring in that this is the kind of investment that Infor is interested in. We have a beautiful working environment inside New York City, inside our headquarters. We have a beautiful new garage. We just opened up an innovation lab. We get to play with the greatest toys. I think we're actually very, very fortunate to be inside a company like Infor and get to work with the people we get to work with as designers and as creatives. And that was an uphill slope to keep people motivated to do that as creatives. And we call them left brain creatives, certainly. But I think we're there now. I think we turn away a lot of people that come work for us now. So it's very exciting. You work London, Dubai, right? That's exactly right, yeah, thank you, yeah. We are, we opened London just recently. We're opening Dubai next. And then we have two teams in New York, yeah. It's pretty exciting. Great. Love to see the Dubai. Yeah, yeah, Dubai's being built up right now. We have an officer already. We're going to the next destination for the... Cube Dubai. We should go to Cube Dubai. That'd be great. They would love it there. Yeah. Yeah, all right. I love it. We'll mark that on the list. Mark, thanks so much for joining us. Thank you. It's always a pleasure having you on the show. Thank you, thank you. I'm Rebecca Knight for Dave Vellante. We will have more from Inforum after this.


This paper investigated the use of the unified method for solving the non-linear Schrodinger equation describing the non-linear spin dynamics of 2 plus 1 dimensional Heisenberg ferromagnetic spin chains. Solutions were constructed for each equation with parameters required for their existence being provided. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional plots were used to visually represent the solutions. The results of this research may be useful in understanding the physical significance of the model and its applications in electrical field calculations.
