40:00 The Country is Crazy

Live Questions:
45:23 It is easy to win people over by an appeal to their anger, hatred, and fear. It is more difficult to win them over by appealing to their reason, optimism, and hope. Still, it is much better to take the latter route.
50:16 Why has Rand been so ineffective at creating a wide spread rejection of altruism? Even radical free market types like Milei or people at Reason TV, never mention it as a barrier to implementing a freedom agenda.
52:22 Haley has no chance of winning the Repub. nomination. Is she still in the race just to harm Trump? (A worthy goal, but hard to raise money for.) Could she run No Labels? Does the Repub. party just need to die?
55:13 Do you think the MAGA-fication of the Republican Party could lead to a new political party, similar to how the collapse of the Whig Party during a divided time led to the Republican Party and President Lincoln?
58:04 I couldn't believe Lindsey Graham said Mark Zuckerberg has "blood on his hands." Why don't he and his fellow blowhards realize that Meta didn't create the offensive content nor "made" the kids take action on it?
1:00:06 Would Netanyahoo survive a hostage deal with Hamas?
1:01:38 I just watched your defense of Israel talk in Austin, and listening to the pro "palestinian" crowd during your Q and A makes me realize what an immature and ugly intellectual world we live in.
1:02:27 Not particularly a fan, but I saw her concert film in the theaters ... an extraordinary performance, for several reasons, and admirable in every way.
1:03:24 Will you be re-running your current events course with Onkar? Would it also be possible to get a very beief summary of your approach?
1:11:24 Milei obviously has many of the right ideas. But, does he know how to transform Argentina's economy, in practical terms? Is it even possible in the current climate to significantly shink a big welfare/regulatory state?
1:13:03 Don't be afraid to lose people. Be afraid of losing yourself by trying to please everyone around you.
1:13:18 What unethical or fraudulent business practices did Trump engage in? If he hadn't inherited a real estate empire from his father, would we even know who he is?
1:17:14 The forces of anti-reason were able to suppress the mind for over 1,000 years during the dark ages. I don't think they can do it today.
1:17:29 This all reminds me; have you seen the movie Wag the Dog? It's very very funny and holds up. It seems like that level of public deceit. They could remake that movie with this premise. Quite comical
1:18:15 The world is insane.
1:18:18 Hi Yaron. Know any good gulches anywhere?
1:18:29 Did you see that Matt Walsh had the gall to defend the Moon landing, and his idiotic following is now turning on him? The MAGA right is bonkers (as if we didn't already know that, but still.)
1:19:06 Republicans are the preliminary to American Nazism
1:19:15 Why no one stops punks throwing soup on Mona Lisa?
1:19:58 The democrats crazies may be less mainstream. But living in NYC, its hard to say I agree with that based on my own experience.
1:20:55 The first chip implant by Neruolink (Elon Musk) was done. The name of the chip is Telepathy.I think a discussion of the ethics of chips in brains would be interesting.
1:22:05 Congrats on front-page article today’s Austin Statesman, even if about disrupter of your Israel lecture - “any news is good news” category.
1:22:56 casino magnate, Hollywood tv star, twice-divorced, thrice-married, 20+ years older than his wife, multiple affairs, liable for sexual assault. This is the right’s savior?
1:25:05 What does a Foodie eat during the Super Bowl?
