Pacific time, we promised will try our very best to start on time. Benches takes forever to get done with her and make up, and it's all his fault it's from. This is probably that technically that right, why aren't you wearing green
is it. A partition is Frederick stereotyping of the Irish, but we're on your set in its whole. Green. Aren't you the bats around here where I was unexpected
kind of growing an employee or waiting for my goodness horror. I mean we're not abused by my own employees, we're just waiting for the questions to poor end, so I've too fell time to check out the about thing. I know that's always provides an eminent elsewhere about my daughter began. If nothing else talk before, I was so rudely interrupt by staff telling me how to be silent on set up. Ok, I was telling us
But my daughter did yesterday because she's in a normal person has four years old and she simultaneous
they brilliant as well as evil. So she takes it like a new father, correct, so thou she's, very few persons, so she said she had.
Lemme see? Yes, your and my dad has a habit of taking her to ice cream after her by one lesson every every time, and so should finish
I had to take the instrument as it out, so I too
her door, violet, muslin and afterwards says I want ice cream, and so what we need to go home get her brother. Then my
we'll come home later enabled of rice Criminal and she wants to go to measures which is a frozen yogurt place out here in the west, and so
she is not our thoughts and Van exactly at my said, Mommy
Can I come home in mommy which will bring ice cream, so Mummy was coming home from her doctoring and she'd inch.
Brought home, some high, yes, I mean disguised as I and she she brought home.
Ice cream bars and my daughter says? Well what if I don't like this ice cream bars and I'd prefer benches, and I said well
you can tell me and then maybe we'll go dimensions afterward, so we get home, she opens ice cream, Barshefsky
thing and then she tourism issues. I didn't like any of that. There's like that's my girl right there, smart, the cash manipulates. The sister
So what did you do? I gave as much nicer
she could eat nothing, although of course- and I told her she'd organised, whereby the guy herbs with parental monster Anderson,
well. How dare you you? Will this story complementing her right? I thought that maybe
wait got an occasion magazine. I get rewarded you're for being a terrible person. Ok, but you get rewarded for her billions and my life when she's rich, and you will see that strike or wedding one day.
Presumably sorry you're are you like my husband in that we have two daughters, you of a sudden handed out erect and obviously you parent daughter differently than the sun. Yes and you kind of feel about them differently, because a girl, yet whether Turkey hashtag not very politically correct for now, but so do my
then we'll get very mad if I mention their wedding day o night, and I really am aiming at a mad and sat all at the same time- she's not old enough for that. Yet when she s a little bit older that'll get ticked off about it. I'm sure they're right now, not so much for him. I just like just give himself to do all the UN's levels.
That's that, basically, even all the things that really give. If I were actually president from handler I'd, have the same plant I M, going to outside the exactly my son doesn't have a phone, the president would have a phone, and then you just
scheduled all day and then how they long raise equally in the present. Could you like nice, include thing to be great? So, let's start speaking the president, the revolving
moreover, there yet it through
the day was good revolving door, though these six hours in the closing this terrible. They never issues like intolerant in the first place, and are you happy with somehow I liked Bumpo? So I think that it was. It was very amusing to watch the entire left, which suggested that Trump had been colluding with Russia when you hired tillers interstellar since close with Putin, known fires tellers and they said
It is also political pressure to everything's collusion with Russia in Unfollow, viable thesis. Its brig is pretty astonishing, and so you turn turn into Fox news this morning, and you hear the news and ahead of the dossier is like amazing and wonderful and the need to
to see a man and you you're talking heads over there saying it's awful she's horrible, she's, ok with torture right
Where do you follow so outline torture? So there, let's inappropriately moment, much of only that way, you know get general
people by either it's mostly vodka sitting here and sort out. I know that's it, but I pay for it. So that's it that's good! I ran locate so here.
The deal with that, so that when it comes to the discussion of torture, it's about in here.
Interrogation techniques for use on terrorists. The whole purpose of the Geneva Convention is not to prevent torture of people horse, specifically hiding among the civilian population. It's too
In short, the people who actually guard
themselves in uniforms, are not tortured. The idea being that you want to force soldiers into uniforms. They don't hide among civilians. You don't have to kill civilians when you're fighting soldiers, the problem of terrorism, that they hide among civilians, and so they should not be held to the same standards under the Geneva conventions that we create a deterrent effect for people who are attempting to make
the interim civilian population say: you're, ok, with the new nominee for urgent aid, roguish like I've, had to address issues in good Abramovich. Ok, sorry guys. We have a problem with the system, but we never fear. We have some questions from the mailbag that we're gonna role through that you haven't answered before from look, as he says, is the idea of God having a plan for the future, not directly undermining of the idea of
well. So the answer is no and that they do. This is obviously a question that is constantly
asked by religious philosophers. If God is
friends and omnipotent than do, you have very well and the Indian Judaism's, the God has limited his.
It got his limited his intervention in the universe in or provide for that very well. Now, God can have knowledge of the future because God exists outside of time. So we think of time we tend to think of time. Linearly read this house. Yes Louis describes it. He says that we tend to think of time as, unlike their stay there smarter, there's the day after, but God doesn't exist in that time line so forgot. It is always what Louis has
the eternal present. So when we say the guy
what's going to happen to us. It means that God knows what's happening in the moment. That is the future. It doesn't mean that God is sitting there and he say: ok, we'll three days from now somebody's gonna plots. Instead, it is when
Three to God, is already existing in that time, because God exists outside of time, give a little complied with as it does. The basic do feel like Louis. Could you just mentioned him as one one that describes at them?
ass yet hid his description in your christianity of of the free will oversee seeing
your problem is is quite good, ok, Charles once! No you talk about the morality of capitalism, it's a view with which he strongly agrees. However, how would you describe the perfect balance between capitalism and entitlement spending, including Medicare Medicaid, disability, unemployment, etc, to expand a bit via example. Take someone born with a severe disability? The costs can financially cripple affair.
What kind of safety net should be in place as a cat in this capitalist we're right so so many times one of the big problems of government intervention into these systems. They government rarely stays confined helping the widows and orphans social
Kennedy was originally designed, specifically for widows and orphans and obviously now it encompasses.
Third, the american net spending on on services. So I want everything actually to one third of the budget. So the the
main social safety net should be first or family than your community. Then your lot
the community and then state. So one of the big problems now that we ve reversed the polarity
People don't actually go to their family before they go to the state once they lose their job that are part of the family, for loans or asleep on the couch.
Go down the welfare office, because the state has created this barrier. Well, once the state, as they are taking care of these problems, people stop being a charitable they stop being is giving. Obviously there has to be something for
People can take care of themselves, children, the mentally ill people, harm physical, serious physical disabilities, but the state never limited to that. The state
because they understand that there is a lot of political hey to be made and expand.
Beyond the limits of people can take care of themselves to people probably could take care of themselves, but are have either followed.
Times for a short period of time or who have decided.
You're, going to be the dependence of the state for for long periods of time do everything that we can cut back
Yeah I mean I do. I do think that we are going to be able we're gonna have to I mean how they wouldn't have choice about Asia, sterile programmes that are happening in Europe. I do think that
have to restructure social security is not sustainable at the current growth rates.
And it certainly not sustainable. Given the fact
population is aging so rapidly and not having it, because I think that the welfare programmes are to have your struck
They should be restructured on the local and state level. They should not be restructured on the federal level as much. I don't see why people in California she became offer.
People in New York, for example, it seems
it is more of a local government issue more than anything else, and people want
join communities and become part of an enmeshed community when they feel like this. The safety, those coming from the community eleven, a very strong or that are
jewish community and every Sabbath theirs.
Oh for charity, for family people, for families who are in need pass over is coming up and justice dispassionate.
We had an appeal inshore for people to give money for free
always. You need money for Passover. I've done a personally for people, and this is, I think,
good thing in a much better thing: government confiscating wealth, and then that programme tends to become political football pretty quickly. Ok, so, today, sponsors
share absolute? They have logical thing. Oh yes and I'm lonely platform with over eighteen thousand class in design business technology. Marcel gonna, get good stuff you'll make arrests made better. Well this how you do it you can take
sitting, graphic design, social media marketing illustration of photography, you name it, they got it. So if you just trying to deepen.
Professional skill, set restart aside hustle or explore new passion sculpture.
The best thing out there to keep you Loreen, thriving I've taken class in social media, marketing and watercolor, because I have to calm down after the day join the millions of students. Already learning on school showed that we have a special off.
Just for my listeners two months and skilful,
skill share for just ninety nine cents. Skill share is offering my listeners again. Two months of unlimited access to our eighteen thousand class,
sure just nine nine cents. Once you start, I can stop skills your dot com. Slash
that skill share dotcom, slash of growth.
They are two months for ninety nine cents. Right now,
sculptured icons, lashed tribunal cigar system is up and running. We got questions as rolling in right now. Remember everyone can watch on new to Facebook everywhere, but only subscribers can ask the question so be sure to go over the daily, where dot com become a subsidy,
after find the conversation and she's in five also to pay leashes salary, because, let's face it, I mean somebody's got to my only seventy seven cents on the dollar. So true, after much cheaper than you
heard as legislation work and cheaper than Michael.
Don't get me started. Michael does not my call. This is not my call. Ok, ok, Pablo is asking Ben. How do you think judges should be chosen
appointed elected or the Missouri method. I so I think that the system, or that we have in which they are appointed, is correct. I'm not sure that should be appointed for life, so I think that the appointments with it with a set term
when they expire would probably be a good thing simply because having
judges on circuit court? For thirty forty years I understand was supposed to be free of political calculation. It has not been. Instead, you see judges who feel completely non non related to
the politics that are going on outside and more interested in what their bodies on the bench think, and I think that you do need to do something that the changes, the system a little but also others ghoulish death watch that takes place with
What are these court order sitting around waiting for Ginsburg to die, for example, in order to get a different justice on there? It seems to me that we had a regular rotation. It would take a lot of the politicking out of the system
wouldn't have as much. Ok
Who's gonna die when who's gonna stick around it, wouldn't it wouldn't be as much of a reality tv show you just be okay. We know that every ten years justice is gonna, drop off the bench and so were preparing for that battle for years in advance and and staffing up for it, and do you think that I mean obviously the flask presidential election cycle hat that seat with something that was so talked about? The absolutely enacting became I mean my family member, some friends of ours for sure,
It became a decision as a big thing, I mean, of course it was a big thing in the fact is that you have just Ass Kennedy right now: a steps down there
looking at a possible swing vote, although I do think that it's a mistake to think that Kennedy is the only thing standing between pro life advocates and protocols.
I think that after this one, but there's probably can be Roberts just as much Canada,
after the Robert votes to strike generally well, ok, Daniel says I bent over the last few weeks. You have expressed support for gun violence, restraining order laws, while a good idea in principle. How can we ensure the system is not abused and the liberal blank by liberal neighbour right? So I think that
I love this question. Has items is the thought I've had as well? It very difficult. I think that the number one you'd have to
actually show that there is a close relationship between the person who is applying for the gun.
Restraining order and the person who begun is being taken away from us again should be some ran down the street, who decides to find that number two,
It has to be an initial short period, so we have to show new evidence every so often and
we're gonna have to rely on judges in the end to determine whether or not somebody is mentally company. But we have that right now, I'm in UK you there there. There is a de facto gun, violence restraining or in the form of, if you're, on a twenty four forty eight hour hold for psychiatry. Averse, I get
reasons this can put you on a registry, if you,
have been forcibly incarcerated for for mental almost before of new voluntarily incarcerated for mental.
From mental illness than you are I put on this gun registry essential I so it would be expelled,
none of that, but obviously one make sure that there is some pretty good tracks. Anyone may should. The burden of proof is high enough that there is not just somebody comes in
you crazy we're done interesting, Joel J says: what's up Ben, would you consider yours
to be an audio file or what gear set up do use when consuming media, both
physical and information, so I wish that I wore an audio volcano dentist. Prager referred is the huge variety of husbands, thousands of dollars on the speakers from which the music comes into its producer. Alan out there very very into this. I don't enough about it to actually tat actually do it.
I know people who are in a only by vinyl records, for example, because they think that the sound is better
exactly I I've never done any of that. I wasn't my major music digitally and I
just discovered apple music, and it is the greatest thing ever really. It's so good that they like the access to education,
christian faith and then the access to thousands of albums and its odds. It's fantastic love it
it's so good, as are heavily listening to today, but it
but today was Brahms. Is german Requiem us out some happy? Let me
I and answer and then yesterday was
Evan. Real Brahms can quite little countries promised exiles a lot of Brahms, the string quartet's. The first report- hats, antarctic, critical, afford movement, the string, quintet,
It is also terrific that the piano trio's, the first banditry, has just beautiful. So I need to find a job.
Because my dad Playfellow I play violent. If we find a child was then maybe we can place Brom Trio's, we can have some interesting lobby. Music happening appeared the daily, whereas what we are doing our plans ourselves right now, better you go now. We get it right. On article exactly Bryce says I have a friend who believes there is no place for patriotism in religion like Christianity. What are your thoughts on this and now? How would you respond,
to such a state, something first of all, most religious thinkers would obviously disagree. Augustine, particularly
the first one to deposit the difference between a city have gotten a city of man menaces right there in the new testament that you're supposed to did that the Caesar
they involve the ruler sees your job losses are that's that's something! That's exist, injuries and preferences of principle, data, democracy, dino, meaning that, yes, you have to follow the water when the notion that you
can't be a patriot if you're religious believer is only true if the country is irreligious or anti religious would be more appropriate. If the country actually seeks to crack down on your religious faith, then I guess that you would be unpatriotic to disobey the country, but ok I mean that's.
They. I judge the equality of a country not based on
where I was born or where the borders are. I judge the quality of a country based on the ideals the country upholds. What makes american incredible country is effectively
care about religious freedom. The fact that we do not want the government intervening in people's religious lives. We don't establish an official state religion at all.
Things are amazing things and also with all the governments crackdown on religious believers like these are. These are
a very important things, it's why I'm
favorite and religious believer by. I don't think you should be a patriot of your country. Socks, I think of your country, is, is based on a moral
and suppose, or as is ethnically I did or in the car,
Free is the nations based on ethnic solidarity alone. I think that's idiotic Ben wants to say hi, then, would you be open to having alive debate with a list of Elizabeth burning on it to iron
you're different says once and for all, and I'm not sure that would actually iron out our differences. Mickey openly advocated for for socialism advocated first
in that area and Andrzej somebody. You responded, then she said well, I was talking to Norway and then you are really great Keith yesterday that responsible, your way, you I mean I've got my way like I'm perfectly happy to have a conversation with a rapidly or private wave, and I think that it's a really interesting conversation, but you did shift her argument between article number. One and article number, two ritual articles just add that socialism
well sure replace capitalism. Her second article suggested that certain socialistic aspects- redistribution ism- should replace certain aspects of capitalism liking to socialize medicine system. Ok,
that's a different argument gave your arguing that before
scale government take over of all
history would be a
the positive than you.
To show an example of how that works well for
long period of time
using Norway is an example of that seems really weird, because all they did was essentially nor was actually nationalized that world industry and then use all the wealth nationalized oil industry for four giant pension fund. The population of of Norway is five point: six million people write the population of LOS Angeles counties, four million people so there's nobody
In Norway, I it's not only an ethnically that then ethnically homogenous country Norwegians have have a special culture that goes back, hundreds
words of years it Norwegians in United States actually or more per capita the Norwegians who actually live in Norway, something to make the case that Norway so
from our regions, Will America's better from our regions, the Norway's from our wages in terms of gdp per capita. So it sir, it's it's
an interesting argument. I think that argument that's worth having in its worth. I'd like to hear
This definition of what exactly socialism,
It is because you seem so shifted it originally. It was. I stay
originally it was full state owned.
Ship of all resources, and we re use those resources on behalf of the workers, which sounds a lot a classical marxism and then it turned into well be state, can sponsor industry reasons or of merchant, was fashion and run them like capitalistic enterprises and not redistribute all income and that still socialism? So again,
I think that its problem definition
I want to hear what what her definition is, or what program she's espousing she suggesting that America's government nationalized the oil industry, for example, issues
thing that America's government imposed
seven point: eight percent of tax rates issue, suggesting that we double the price of consumer goods and United States which basically bring on power with Norway like I'm and she's not being spent.
If you just socialism is great
and then we say it s interests as well, but Norway's great and then you say well, there's some problems of Norway and anxious.
But Norway, but now you're, you're strong enemies. I need to know what you're talking about Charles S. Thoughts on the quota, fear of a name only increases fair for the thing itself in reference to not naming mass shooters.
This call comes from Harry Potter, rather ok, so red another book written other book. It's not the only one case,
been eyes in that that was spoken about Voldemort right, you who shall not be neighbour, so it's so. I
Did I generally agree with the sentiment? They should name people who are bad, but that does not apply to people who are driven by
by families at to go and should people right when you say radical islamic terror, I'm not sure that.
Actually creates more radical islamic here, but if you were to
You glory to the person who is the radical islamic terrorist that may create more incentive to be radical islamic terror,
I think that naming naming villains generally is. Is I think, a problem there, a lot of people who
solace in that and honour in that they think that's a good excuse due killing people, which is
something, that's why already added daily? Why are we don't we don't bring the names of the pictures of machinery specifically there's some studies that suggest that that would actually to name them and ensure their pictures would hide.
The possibility of measures. Darrell says hello from Ireland. Well Lou. He also says you're awful for not wearing green that'll nome king, I
that part. I figured he thus Ben. What is your opinion on entertains proposition that depression is just a safety crutch and an excuse when people fail at life? I think this logic
crap. I think depression is a chemical imbalance. I know people have been depressed and our people, for whom antidepressants have been highly useful, did listen. I think that it is possible to
intervene with people who are suffering from depression, sometimes and then use the inn and used, for example, cognitive behavioral therapy to get them out of that spend now that found, I think, that's that's possible. I think that the rise in depression rates in the united-
it is in Indonesia of the is an indicator of the the loss of purpose brought
lay across american society. The tap neighbouring book on that right now, but does depression
This is a critical condition. Absolutely it exists as a clinical condition, and I dont think that an- and I dont think that its fair to folks to suggest that,
toughen up and get over, and I think that a lot of people who actually do needs and chemical help Amy sets high, then I'll be graduating soon, and we have a tradition of decorating caps with quotes or images any recommendations.
Well, it's hens, where graduating from right of your graduating. Unlike agenda studies programme, the now just put me

Also, you can call me I mean not to be self aggrandizing but uninsured. Why not
since you suggested absolutely
Let's see what what else other bunch a good one,
Churchill clouds there there. I think that promise mostly called
you all right. If you call John Adams and behind the finishing line and aid for only a moral and religious people, it is insufficient to the cause of many other. Had I really think that can be a little long, for they have any any Maggie Thatcher culture, something sugar they're on their mean she should. I think
Agatha to quote one another, the famous manufacture quarters, of course, I think, a paraphrase from Orwell Window with that that he who robbed Peter to pay Paul,
we count on the voters can always count on poles about that's always get what, if, if you wanna go into politics,
but you could have barriers over. This is a really fun blushing Maggie's, as I bet if your stranded on an island was somehow only enough technology to watch one moving over and over until you died, escaped or were rescued, which movie? Would you choose a book
its unique too good for her ear, you need that have to be a really long movie here. Why don't you get to watch and over and over and over again that's true. It could be a three part question like if you died, how long are or rescue
really I mean so it's the bathroom etc. So in there is sought.
I would say if you only have one movie and going to be there forever, then you almost have to pick can promise production of hamlet its form

by that always give these valleys. Give you some analysis, but if you're talking about like what's the moon movie, that I think is most meaningful and in most Walden I think, is good arguments made for one

the best compliment ever. That is a very good compromise between carpet
and everything that really spent the night? But it isn't so well with question
we shall the insult governing now move on now haven. I recently read in great haste for abolishing the: U S: postal service wall has any
I write anything which federal agencies and departments. Are you
in favour of abolishing all of them know is. I would keep the outcome to the department of worn out rename it the department of or not enough in this department of defense nonsense. Department of war gets what it is.
Originally called because there to make war they. So I will keep the Department of war. The department of state
I would get rid of the department education. I get rid of the Department of Energy. I get rid of the third one that repair Perry doesn't know now get rid of them.
Health, inhuman services,
get rid of the department of the farmer. What's he didn t,
Yea is a cabinet level position that dead there there a bunch of them.
I think I'll, just going to holding firm is pretty much like you'd go back to its original functions, and everything else would be devolved back to the state or local level seems to me that the best way to do this because a special education, the application of our results over its department, how's it open it hasn't urban development.
Why not better about mirth and would be out of a job, and you can't buy thirty thousand dollar table. He does like expensive kept. It use, inexpensive cabinet inexpensive cabinet strip within within, but I think Scott Brutes over an EPA
try really hard. He is, he, I think scupper. It is, has been doing a fine job. Britain listen, I think the trumps cabinet overall has been doing a pretty good job mean. I'm glad resolution is going to set only. I think that matters have been very good at two funds that their bunch of people, who were very good in the restoration Erica's, a very serious question that probably lotta people don't have the answer to your wife, a doctor. So there
Where is that she is in the last ten years of my life has been watching her go through medical school and then residency
The time I'd suggest that she has. You wonder why
So proud them over the dock, another one I'm proud of her because she's a special person, and because that takes a lot of
but second of all, is my accomplish.
Meant to ok? I was here from the whole have been so long and so terrible, but she's actually event fantastic actor. It's obviously her accomplishments.
Fine, I'll pay for it. I did before that's kinda violin,
I listened to the others in a member preference. You should be able to that. This is actually an important thing. I think about relationships very early on when we got married. My wife was
you see a light and I got a job offer in New York and I thought seriously that take the job offering our can. She was ready to transfer from usually about our school to Rutgers, which is not as highly went to school in New York. In order
we can pursue that job opportunity admirable and you got into bed school?
at the beginning. We only thought that you'd gotten into Georgetown not induce violation of game, use your life and when she touches graphically Georgetown, we seriously considered moving coast, and I said, ok well then I'll pick up and we'll move. It is very important
People in relationships know that they are willing to go to full mile. For the other person in the relationship with my wife knows that that is true for me, and I know that that's Travers, while good relationship is not vice for various bench, parodied also Murat Doktor Folks Christie wants to now. Do you believe that the miracles of the Bible such as internet, the exodus and the wilderness wandering are literally true, as
do or just symbolic also what version of the Bible are you reading from? So the version of the Bible that agreed from his called the Bible, it's in Hebrew
in the pillory original, originally Oji Oji of bibles. That's right,
The translation that I typically use, if I'm using translation is, is the article which is very typically used in the orthodox jewish community. Be the king
aims is, is good.
And having their said, there's some problems with some the king James translations, as far as the Hebrew of it, but
yeah I, as far as the new testament translations, I will vary between their various varies translations get, but as far as which miracles take literally
so my tendency is to take me miracles in exodus as literally as possible, and to take the mirror
was before that as metaphorical, because it is
clear one of the Bible. The characters start becoming literal guess it probably would Abraham. But if you look at it,
I'm an even precluded this metaphorical and also went once you get to the exodus.
It can be more along the lines of minorities who suggested that dumb that the miracles can largely.
Explain. Alternatively, as as kind of physical,
and they could occur in the real world through natural processes, but then we're miraculous nonetheless are, for example, its has directly in accidents
when these he is split that there is a strong wind that comes in blows over the mouth of the water and that's what creates the?
split in the sea, and so why bother actually describing now? Why don't you say gods, but the sea borders, because the idea here is the God uses natural means as often as possible, in order to push miracles, because, God,
He doesn't want to show his hand all that often. Instead, he wants you to have to to discover the miracle that is inherent in life. Interesting, Adam thanks, hey man, a huge fan. Would you vote for Donald Trump? If the election was held,
so you know my calculations Mueller harder. Actually, that was last time so there are there. I had three worries when Donald Trump was elected. One is that you're, not governess conservative to is that he would source the Republican Party
Three was that you would be so toxic that he would end up destroying any hope of popularity for consumer principles. I care about so on the first one,
he governed, as somebody unlucky answer, is no so far he has govern very strongly. Somebody on the right, we'll see if there
maintains or not, obviously hope it wood based on his policy. I vote for him as far as the damage that
the day. The possible even saw sucking the Republican Party and transforming it from a conservative party to a to a nationalist, populist party. I'm a lot less.
What about that? And I was a year ago. Obviously, the constituency inside the cabinet has changed, see Ben is no longer there. There's no law.
Such an attempt to shift away from traditional conservatism. I so that I think,
exaggerated and I'm very happy about that. I think that people in the conservative moments he trumpets vehicle more.
I see him as a leader on thought and then there
the final one, which is does from tax by the conservative movement such that it would be impossible to vote for him in there.
The jury is really still out. He's got a lot of things that are very toxic for conservatives. I don't just mean
Stormy Daniels order, the stuff these had about Charlottesville
you mean, I also mean that the president routinely
beaks in ways that I think are inappropriate for the President speak and also says stuff
is counterproductive to the agenda that I care about. You doesn't defend it. Well, he says
silly things on a routine basis. I and there a lot of young people
we're. Looking at tromp entail, never gonna go conservative this. What conservatives are so on now,
when the jury is still out, I think most of damage on that score has been done because from sorry been in office from attendance would probably be vote for Hungary for election if we're held today but again
election, isn't enables your we aren't three years and not twenty eighteen hiding for public, and now I mean a right now. This is an extremely good. If you look at the other, php results should be coming in pretty pretty soon here. But if you look at TAT, if you look at how report
and been doing in the special watch, has there been seven special watchin since January, one thousand seventeen, and on average
begins, have underperform by sixteen points there. Two thousand sixteen numbers, that's a pretty major gap in
places, obviously like Alabama you're talking about thirty points. What which is pretty incredible MIKE says I am reading peach on since history of Christianity and was wondering what your view is on the christian sex break from the various jewish sex of the time and why
that is, the current Judaism, sound, ok, so Christianity, so that the history of profound he's really interesting, because obviously there is Poland, Christianity in dreams and Christianity, and these were not exactly the same others
There's good read that, historically speaking when when
upon Jesus death in discussions we resurrection, but a jubilee just add right that upon his death,
there are two things that that there are two schools of thought. One was that even resurrected and the other
is that he had not been resurrected, but he was up
local messianic figure who had important things to do,
right, so they would sort of like the decreasing
It was more originally like how do the Laval Jews view the laboratory that he was important, learn leader,
the important things to we follow his legacy, but not that he was
incarnate, or anything like that.
Early Judaism would suggest that if cheese
this was just seen a sort of rebellious figure who is trying to say, corrects things about about.
Judaism as far as it becoming too legalistic and in there needs to be more more focus on your relationship will gotten all that that's not out of line with any of the prophet beforehand. I, if you
our believer in Jesus, as is currently blue by Christians, that he's the physical incarnation of God come too
and then resurrected in all of this, then that is completely
or into jewish thought, which is why I'm not a christian right. If we're just Jesus was a good rabbi, then I think a lot
stop that he says is basically a repeat of stuff from the old testament and some the best of his eyes had hassock. If it's you
This is the son of God, and you don't believe. Jesus was the son of God, because our fundamental level, we don't believe the God, takes physical for,
we believe the goddess incorporeal. Oh I get it. I hope that answer her question.
But I do know Johnny, says hey ban if you could choose between Plato or Monkey a valley, but would you choose in advising present neurosis
question, ok, there's a good question for two reasons: first, let's define Plato and Machiavelli, so Machiavelli for those living righto Plato, for those who don't know is, is the kind of the the godfather of awful ass. If it
and Plato's essential contention was that human beings were stuck in a cave and
they didn't have access to a wider array of knowledge, but that you could go outside
gave me to bring back knowledge to the people who are still in the cave? He
he's trying to access higher forms of logic essentially did there is some,
they called the realm of ideas. The Roma forms in the realm of forms was the place where I can get to address,
literally running an entire book on this right now, I got really gone away to read it. I think I appreciated, but the basic idea in Plato. I is there
there are certain there, certain platonic foreign trade and people, it's a platonic idea of something
What they mean is the ultimate form of that thing, so Plato it.
The reason that you can identify various types of dogs in your everyday life is because there is such a thing in the realm of ideas in the realm of forms as the form of dog right, the ideal platonic dog
so he feels the same way about certain concepts like
so all of republic is an attempt to define what virtue
injustice look like
for him to define that through augmentation and reason, invoice Socrates arguing with his various didn't sell. So
on the one hand I would like to have president from
Think a little bit more about platonic ideals of justice,
and courage and all things the platter about on either hand if you reach
as for public places Republic, suggests that, in order for us to actually achieve a societal form of virtual justice, then you might actually
have to have a top down tyranny in which children are taken away from their parents.
Reincarnated in the in the lessons of civics by the society itself, their logical likeliest,
You think that's actually Plato making fun of the idea of utopia, that's possible, but I'm afraid the tremendous rate it so
I think that would probably got Machiavelli. Of course was the first practical philosopher instead of trying to think how men can be what what we should expect from men, how men better themselves,
the analysis, here's how people are and here's how you can try.
People how they are so market.
This idea of Vertue versus the versus the platonic idea virtue is very different:
virtue is the idea that you are that yours,
you use your higher faculties of reason in order to come to these platonic ideas of justice, encourage and virtue and all the rest of us that,
That would virtue is you're supposed to use your highest level of reason, because man was created in order to reason
what man is? Mankind was developed
to have energy use is higher functions is why philosophy is the highest form of life according to Plato according to Machiavelli,
human beings are just human being's right, we're both smart. We walk around beings, rocky and that's pretty much. Are we
all day, and so what the good leader will do, as you will use vertue Vertue, is essentially using good method
in bad methods. In order to achieve your political goal from time to time so he's the first can apply
politician is Machiavelli and many people think that he's sort of the founder of modern political philosophy, because most political philosophy from then on is based on. Ok people stop what we do about it as opposed to philosophy, but
that which is people saw how we make people better,
if only and many other philosophers time turned to look at people, people sock, but they
to be balanced out with other people through checks and balances and all the rest of their. So I think that from
perspective of limited government. Machiavelli, he's right and from the perspective of virtue, history, Plato has that ok, but advising him I mean. I think that
as a political adviser, Machiavelli be a better political advising Plato because he's just a great political advice
as far as somebody advise you a virtue, I'd recommend greater ok. Bob says it: is there a problem with people consensually signing contracts that restrict their liberties? How about agreeing to be subjected to a government that may force me to do things
as I'm better off. Ok, so you can sign away certain liberties. The idea of inalienable rights is just the idea
we don't want you to be able to sign away or liberties, but we are unaware liberties, everyday revenues and contracts where we train our labour in exchange for something else. The question is: was there ever a social contract in which trade away certain liberties to the government? So did you trade away, you're right to life, to the government, so Hobbs would actually say
How does it say you traded away your right to life because you're asking that the government protect you, but you have to give away all your rights that the government can do
the governments now and control the lock what're. You didn't give way rights what you did, as you said, to the government. It's your job to preserve those rights
signing way. You is my ability to protect myself, but if you dont protect me than you,
violating your job as the government I so if work
inalienable ITALY animal rights than I dont think that, from a natural rights perspective, you could sign away you're right to self defence, for
but I think, that's impossible to sign away practically speaking said away anything rapid,
from from a moral standpoint. I think that anybody who
are you decidedly right to self defence is doing you a deep disservice? Obviously, ok Yakov. I hope I'm saying that right, you think I'm saying
it is right that there were junior earlier and always biff something
five years later aim during these conversations, but only with him with enter and Michael. I always seem to come off smarter. I don't know why he says I then have you know someone that is running for senator. Would you vote for them? If they are a Democrat survive,
Neither Michael knows the Cubs Henry fire him. If I found other Michael Moses here, I'd fire him.
That in this work,
what is that I was the PS, though the privilege that he has the that's all I'm interested in what you said.
There's a red flag in four noble. If I found out
that somebody who I knew was running for senator and they were democratically villain or not, and I agree with them
somebody with good ideas caucus with the Democrats. These days, interesting, Addison, says Heaven. I was having a discussion with some friends either day after reading that washes article on pornography. I think it should be banned. What are your thoughts on so this is a really interesting one. So I
it should be banned. What are your thoughts on so this is a really interesting one, so I wrote an entire book upborne generation when I was twenty one in which I talk about the possibility of local regulation with regard to pornography.
We sleep. There are certain areas. Pornography where we do regulates will allow pornographic billboards, because that
Something that's happening in the public space that space we all share, but the idea
regulating pornography on, for example, the internet is much tougher because that some
that you actually have to seek out so I became
or libertarian on this issue. In one sense, I think we're not is deeply damaging to the human psyche headings deeply damaging to ban. Having creates unrealistic expertly,
since what women are, and mostly what women want more than how women look I'll ever look at porn I've. You expect them to look
ways not about that. It's about the men expect willing to act that way. Men expect the women are constantly sexually voracious the way the men are. They are not spoil our Lord guys by the by the
pornographic ideal has led to a lot of off a lot of suffering. Because then there a lot of women,
think that, in order for them to be loved by man, they have to act the way that men are expecting them to act, the pornography, so that
and there's some pretty good evidence that pornography hits the same pleasure centres in your brain as drugs do
pornography is addictive, I think that's probably drew the pornography is addictive. So should there be
regulation of it. I don't think I'm a federal level there should. I think that if you
we to set up a local community where you say we're not going to allow public distribution of pornography in our local community that there's precluding right.
Why, like localism and government, if you want to live in their neighborhood, don't live in that neighbourhood rising. That's that's perfectly fine, but I think there's
using local regulation and and nominal regulation from authoritarian
like him? I suggest that the better
solution, then that is to just
work on a community that is virtuous because regulation
is usually used as way to stave off you're the failure of your community.
And it really works that way. Usually a strong community doesn't need regulation and is in a week community cannot be saved by regulation. Ok, he wants as what are some examples of government tyranny that would warrant the civilian use of firearms
in order to retelling, ok, complete guns, easier
the federal government that we are taking every gun in private hands away from the citizens of the United States. That would warrant the that,
I would warn the use of firearms against members of the federal government, for example. I think that
if the time allocated scented one class of gun, I'm coming,
Take every gun in the United States if they decided that either
to install a state religion that violated my rights across the United States to practice. My religion then
under certainly were thought of that, as violation if they were to violate the rights free speech
to suggest that I'm not allowed to speak his eyes. He said, then that would warrant this. So
the other gradations than is obviously because there also. There is also a question of not now old war did. But what's this
fighting bad stuff. So let's say that the government were too
like, for example, there are people say, while the government Mandy,
It states allow abortion. Abortion is murder. So, therefore, why should you stand up to
to the stage? Where can you stand of the federal government and the answer
because they're be utterly counterproductive, so the question there isn't really a moral one so much
it is a practical one. There is no way that you could
that you're going to win the hearts and minds or prevent abortion by bombing abortion clinics, for example. I so this is
I think that there is. There is no one's practicality of this question and there's an element morality to this question more large.
It is until the government and go to the full extreme forces not to be used
and until the coming uses force on new forces not to be used, and then beyond that is approved
These forces are better to use the methods of a republic, which is why the counter set up a public service
change policy from the inside, rather than resorting to bloodshot what? What about the people that say a word that you're twenty eighteen, you guys really need to fight the government. In that way, I mean the answers it comes with a government. Does
minutes tyranny happening all over the world right now and in the
the government of Syria is murmuring its own citizens? I would prefer that those citizens have virus protect themselves. Evan says have been. What are your thoughts on? Benjamin Netanyahu is good.
For his work has been quoted. The prime minister, I mean first of all, Israel
is a very unstable political system, meaning it's it's a coalition government system. You have to have a majority in class it in order to govern. That means the always have from coalitions with
parties in all of these little parties have various give
is that they want and so and if there is a vote of no confidence or of new elections
we have to have a new elections and hitting out has been serving continuously
Prime Minister of Israel, for I believe eleven years. Now it's a really really one time in israeli politics. Basically, it's for your term
the prime minister, but I think only one-
Prime Minister is served at full for your term says very rare. It actually live that out. He's he's done a very good job in foreign policy. With regard to IRAN, I do wonder if the, if, if Israel is going
after hit IRAN if nobody else is going to. If IRAN continues to develop nuclear weapons, its it given Buxton
the around Europe that did thereupon aside as far as
the policy I think in some ways this year has been even better actual. I think this has been very good on economics, but also Netanyahu's worked. Pretty
hard and staunchly to try and bridge.
Between the religious there, the daddy means
literally people who now right daddy is a religious people in Israel.
And the secular and its Yoni design ass they had the secular groups in israel- has tried to bridge those gaps by trying to get me
its people to serve in the army- which I think is actually a wonderful like even says, the introduction of judicial review from Marbury versus Madison confirmed dangerous power should the judicial branch, but if not, that branch who would ask the constitutional questioned other,
So the answer is that everybody would ask constitutional question to each other, so everyone takes an oath of office to uphold the constitution of the United States or the.
Things I've seen in politics is George W Bush. I really respect as a human being, but George W Bush when he signed into law campaign financed reform in two thousand three. He said I think
constitutional, but it's not my job to to veto edge
what I think is unconstitutional it's up to the Supreme Court to decide whether its constitutional or not, and the answer that is no, you swore an oath to uphold the constitution of the United States. The whole idea is that if everyone was who's going to uphold their oath to to uphold the
constitution of the United States that they wouldn't.
They can all the way over the Supreme Court every single time, that's right and the Supreme Court. It should not be there,
arbiter of what's constitutional or not. That should be up to the legislature. It should be up to them
as it should be in its report of the interplay every time a possibility we should have a lot
scale discussion as to whether that bill is constitutional or not, and people who do not abide by the constitutional structure
should be in danger of losing their jobs. That was the original concept being able to abdicate their responses
in the judicial branches, loud politicians to get away with passing subsidies while the unconstitutional Abraham ass. What do you think of General Schroeder's, using Einstein's theory of relativity and time dilation as a way of reconciling the biblical six days of creation with a thirteen
when eight billion years accepted by south Sudanese raise Europe's Borders books fantastic, it's called believe science of the Big Bang gotten the big bang gotta they may have recommended on the show. Actually, it's a thing that it's a thing that I like so his basic theory is that you can. Is that
and it says in the Bible one day it does mean literally one takes the sun hasn't been created on the first day, it is the first day, but there are no sun. So what does it mean a day? So he does. He takes the
background radiation levels in the he says over the course of a twenty four hour here
There be this many wavelengths, twenty four
or a period at the at the beginning of the universe, and so
universe expands then type
expands. Well, so the universe it so the number of wavelengths in a day decreases radically overtime, which means
if you were to take the number of wavelengths in the first day, and you are to expand that,
number of wavelength and call that a day then be looking in thirteen eight point: eight billion years. I think I'm basically getting their right fascinating. How do you explain that for you
No, I mean I doubt that one or several later I'm just now, I matthew- might banal denominational Bible Bell person writing.
School? You learn that God created that. So I think that one day later for now is old women you seek,
and then, if they ask well my other tee my size. He says it's fourteen point eight,
thirteen point two billion years, then you say that
The Bible is speaking in the Bible, is speaking in language that human beings can understand, but the real God Ard, because science is God's crew.
Because I think that science and God Ard, because science is God's creation. In my view,
wait, I and some signs comes into conflict with. God is because one misunderstanding God or misunderstanding science, not because science has taken precedence over got. Ok Devon says I have friends that, like you, but they say that you criticise the present too much. What can I do or say to convince them that it is important to stand up against?
When does something bad for women again, I think that what's gonna make from about our president is people who say to him you're not allowed to do this by using this throughout his first
Herman he's corrected mistakes me one he's done stuff, it's wrong, and people shout about it than he corrects it does happen unless we can have the president did a few
on press conference in which he suggested that we should not use due process for people format?
we'll before taking away their guns and people in the region
it's crazy. You can't do that and then he backed off of that. I think the his tariff plan
originally did not include exclusions for Canada and Mexico. He's back
for that. We saw their know how exactly it's gonna be implemented. In other words, if you want a better president, you, oh yourself, these same
we'll criticism of the president, whether that president is a democratic republic, and now you may think from here
better job and Obama. I think from so job than Obama policy. I do, but does that mean
I won't criticise money. Does something wrong? No, because that's a question about me right. What am I supposed to do not question about Trump?
question is whether I'm going to tolerate things, I think, are wrong. Just because I have
due to a guy or because I'm rooting for that guy higher than a meeting for the other guy or whether a mistake,
where does something wrong. It's wrong thing without was whether I like the guy thing, by the way, it's very bad parenting strategy to let your kids light on stuff. You wouldn't let another kids light on. In the same way, I think that's your president's. That's a good point, the cat analogy. I thank you, don't want other
You weren't somebody else. Could we appeal let your can render it gave you if you see another killed them all the casting a bread he's got that could bring about that. It is the exact same thing five seconds later, like all, but I love my kid right, but now you're making a good Abram out its progress as high Ben. How do you find the best books?
read on any given subject. So I'm in what I would I typically tend to use, I try to find the longest most comprehensive important. So, for example, when I wonder iranian history, I will check out three or four different. I shall propose the same. We must,
but I got Amazon and I chant I check out three or four different books that are sort of the
history of of IRAN? And then I see which people have endorsed because you can sort of tell which way book leans by the endorsed on a box out? If you have a book, that's it endorsed by the nation. They have another both, but that's all
I was regional, are more likely to pick up one endorsed by the Wall Street Journal. These, I think the Wall Street Journal has more reality based view of things, then the name
but if I time I'll try to re both of them, obviously, ok interesting Jamesons, hey Ban. Would you rather have the state looking after children without a home or a same sex couples? So if the
If that is the choice of its like living in it, an orphanage not to foster homer details like living in an old school orphanage ended with crappy living can
of course the same sex couples. Arenas, debts, yes, but that's not the point that that is not the optimal Sidra.
Even so, the way they did the law was designed to work is to promote the optimal situation.
By the way, their millions of of straight couple
men, women couples who are worst.
He can children right now, and the adoption system is just awful. The adoption system takes tons of time. It takes tons of money it takes tons of effort is very too
to adapt the child in the United States. I know have lots of friends. You have adopted kids
that of my family, I was abducted children. It is not an easy thing to do.
I was there radiations of suffering of children and if the end, if you were to say like was to suffer more child in an orphanage in China who never sees an adult or the kittens
Ex family in was Hollywood. Obviously, the kitten
but that doesn't mean that another
average level I think same sex couples, bring up
in the same way that opposite sex couples do they know
I don't that many women are the same thing. They bring up children the same. I think they bring different call
it has to bear in raising of children. I think that today we have more questions pouring and you are watching the special edition of the conversation that we have been Shapiro here and don't forget to net again in April on April. Tenth, are we talking to Andrew claimants? That'll? Be lots of fun that'll, be at five thirty pm eastern to thirty Pm Pacific right here and daily, where dot com lakes says Ben. I have a friend who claims that communism is the inevitable result, inevitable, we're
of capitalism, he usually sites slab oceanic Jijiu has her that's alcoves bearing out baron. I don't owe his elder his work, all that. Well, I'm not going to specifically countenance work that I don't know I'd like to read it before I before result. I do not
The communism is the inevitable result of capitalism, but I do think the capital
is not self is not self fulfilling one other.
This is really interesting way. Not reading Jonah Goldberg spoke. The draft of his new book is quite good. I will
Red Steven Pinker is becoming a light, meant nothing one of the things that happening among people who are very fond of the enlightenment, very fond of the amendment you if you like America, if you like western liberalism, your fond of the enlightened, but one of them
that I think has happened is that people think that
the white men itself, defending them
self evident and it isn't- and I think that one of the things
capitalism does not provide as meaning pet capitalism provides wealth. Capitalism provides prosperity, capitalism provides freedom, capitalism,
my purpose, it does not provide meaning and when it comes time for people to pick up a gun and fight, then I think the observation
that was originally made during
spanish civil war holds true in that observation, which is quoted in the gorgon unjust, Stanislaus, the commanding height. I is that did
Spanish and wars, pops in the communists, and
Somebody once said about the the communist that they do.
With solid on their webs.
Status law an enduring and say well, nobody ever died with free markets on her lips.
It is true right. Nobody ever nobody ever says. I'm dying today for capitalism, I'm dying today for a laissez faire economics and freedom of goods to move across borders without tariff right. Nobody says that, because that's not stuff, the provides purpose in meaning is just
then that we enjoy
It doesn't even register, as Colbert says, I think it doesnt register with us on a fairness level, even though it is the most fair system and of distribution of Wealth tone Euro labour. That means that there,
something else that provides the purpose. So if the idea is that people,
went to supplant capitalism with things they find more purposeful momentum
laying other people. I think that they're, probably from four to that end of that rejects argument, but I think that argument is true which, like a virtuous citizenry in order to have a
he citizenry case citizenry, that is not virtuous and doesn't care about virtue, doesn't care about community it doesn't take care of each other on a non governmental level will inevitably slip, inevitably slides forty bigger government community that sees purpose in confiscating the wealth of others market sense hayband. Given the statistics that that the statistics show that Millennials favour gun rights, are democrats shooting themselves in the foot by pushing
just listen that essentially denies them the ability to where they having Democrats rose. You didn't cells in the vote on the gun issue. I think they mistake a couple of whole. So I've said this many times on the show. When there's a pull that shows that
the vast majority of american support, more gun control that
not the same as saying the vast majority of american support cuts to government? It means nothing. The question as to the support of this kind to govern this work, this gun control methods.
So I think that Democrats mistake that as well. That means-
You just shout about taking away guns. Nobody wants that
that when people here gun control, what they hear is something that would stop.
I from shooting up the school we all like that sounds great, but
You say that also major enough. You up your shot on their use for defence and bring us not not interested napalm wants to know. Do you think Japanese met the japanese method of background checks for gun purchases?
is the best method in United, so cannot plead ignorance on this. I am not familiar with the japanese mother background checks. They know that they have extraordinarily heavy gun control in Japan. There.
Do, as I say, by the way, remains about same as the United States, I believe Ali, but I wanna check that ok interesting. We could google, it maybe rockwork for another question to come in and I can read article or something
cells going, I haven't my father guiding questions and mine their organs.
We're going out and grabbed up. Guy now asked
more hurry up, go, aren't here's an interesting one. We have
Mailbag Hannah Mallory, says dear, but I think I remember episode. Re said that Orthodox Jews believe they an Christians, will be in Heaven together. I'm wondering if that is the case.
Why anyone would bother going to the trouble being orthodox. At all I mean that's Christians, Gettys Bacon, land and that not Hannah. So she says as a protestant, I appreciate your
active and always enjoy learning about your fate. So this is where the question of obligation comes in. So at an
religious treaties have crossover, meaning that your
obligated English ritual law unless you're born jewish okay. So we don't we're not big on converts, we'll take them if people want to convert, but our joy
rule is that if you are not born into Judaism, then your
actually obligated introduce them. So the idea here is that, if a Jew converts out of dubious him, then you have not fulfilled your basic obligation under Judaism. So a jewish convert to Christianity like an requirement, I dont know what would happen to drew. You know under the under the heavenly system, now met and pretend that I really know a lot about what happens after it acts and natural.
People know about what happens after we die by abide by orthodox jewish light
and would be in trouble, my formal he'll be fine re. That's it because
once you, because of your borne up nicolet jewish than you have certain obligations, your manager, in other words and Judaism. You can convert out of being jewish or still jewish. Even if you converter, Christianity, you're just a person is not
sing Judaism your Pressyur Braxton Christianity's
That's where the jewish religious perspective pause a question about classical music cases have been. I know you like classical music, so I was wondering if you have heard any music from the legend of Zelda Games.
Games introduced me to classical me. I have heard a little bit of anything. It's pretty good, I'm shocked by the quality of the video game. Music Miasm,
like some. The halo music assent hassock way, I'd like really as there's a bunch really good video game music that I'm kind of impressed by some like as they have a
Pandora and let the movie channel
movie the movie?
a general and Anthea, exactly and very often not bring up to musical bogus.
Pretty good mental. Looking like this from a video game is pretty amazing and fascinating wealth has happened. I just finished the last lion Trilogy
We recommend re wells long. I've been wondering why your thoughts are on a parliamentary system versus our system of government. Here in the United States and Russia.
Ok, so I'm not really a big fan of parliamentary system because a creed, such ins, instability and governments or parliamentary system, as I mentioned a little bit earlier with regard to Israel, which has a parliamentary system, this system there there,
couple different ways to do it, but atypical
metric system. To give one example would be the worst systems is the kind of system they haven't. Britain Sea have a bunch of
parties that exist in separate districts and well, let's
there is. There is now towards the house comments, but in any case you could
Israel, has less system. Britain has a district system. Israel sister
ices rules is a list system, see vote for Labour Party in labour. Puts forty list of the various
members of their party they want to get in and if they, when twenty eight percent of the vote, then they at twenty percent of the seats in everybody who is on that list. All the way down to the twenty percent gets in the problem with this is that you have
splinter party. So that means that you have to
form coalitions with parties in order get over, that majority voting block, and let me
They are constantly cutting deals with people. I think the inevitable growth of government is the result is very difficult to actually cut government a system where we have things like the Pensioners Party, the wind seats in Israel. Reference is literally just a bunch of all people who wanted higher pensions and they form their own party and the one just enough seats to be a swing voting contingent in Israel in that the parliamentary system,
Britain is somewhat similar is there's. More instability is not nearly as unstable as Israel system, because, obviously
labour in the conservatives I invite
have been dominance in politics for very long time. There's they have somewhere between America's diameter
where's parties in Israel's parliamentary system, but it's it's less stability, and
It does create a fair bit of turnover and a feeling that every power
he can be ended up, and I think that in order for you haven't tab, thriving side, Eugenie predictability in law, parliamentary systems tend to create less predictability in law. I do have to family big fan of the british parliamentary system just because they like shout William.
Similarly, as regards this as rail forget it out oh yeah there they did the part, then the parliament sessions that they, how sessions where, where the prime minister comes in,
gets yelled out by people. May I wish all man? Can you magic trouble
using it ass? A new magna comes down Bernie Sanders like Mr President, you had such a they porn star and from his leg
and that information out in right. That's what was meant to be a year. I might add that the only thing I would change author, that each of the centre of government, the United States, as our suggestion on Twitter to Phoenix they should move out DC disease to nice
should they should be like a rope Phoenix nicely
Maybe maybe not Dana Barrett? Maybe
finish. What I like the next year, issues like downtown Detroit, and I get legged like nor or elected that crap area to try the humans like right, like off eight miles from like settle it right in a mile, and then they can yeah silence. You Isaac there.
I then I wonder views is real name. I like says I bet I am proposing to my girlfriend. Do have any good advice for us
so my advice is that you make sure not number one make sure that your values alive
I assume that if you're proposing, then your vote
he's lying beyond that. I think that new
There. I have many pieces of advice, it's hard boiled down on. Are you gonna write a book on relationships?
why else would I might I mean I am married almost ten years and I feel like a moralistic, love is prolonged and you recently were asked at one of your college campuses about dating about state AIDS, drugs and, and I think, like what you had to say about values was good. I have I have money advice. I have relationship advice. I would say you need to actually take time out with your spouse. Vacation
girlfriend nab once you get married shouldn't, be distracted with other things, because people have a natural tendency to feel the ones that are locked in there and have to do the work anymore. We actually have to do
working relationship. That's fine right, meaning like take some time
with your spouse, go out and do something fun and this
meta money advice when it comes to young couples, particularly, you can live like a rich
without actually being rich in the stuff. That's going to make you poor, is not going to the movies once a week. The stuff is going to make it for is buying a house boat. Ride is going to be big purchases, the bankrupt you can save up, but
like really? If you did, if you oughta movies, once we can go ice cream once a week and aided home the rest of the time, you have your lot wealthier. Then. If you go to a restaurant four times a week and go bankrupt like just did their their certain small things, you can do that make you feel like. You have a wife, and I think that is important if you like.
Particularly when you're young, also make sure that you are ready for the responsibility of
Children before you have children now I know it
That's controversial and some religious circles just because some people are programmes contain
some people are anti birth control.
As regards control, would all get in trouble with some might more religious friends for saying that, but I'm not elaborate control these. I think the people should be responsible about how they, how and when they have children. That said, you know
the every child is a gift, so it sir, but I think that we are providing a stir
well that a stable, Humphrey Child is the best.
Make sure they ve worked on yourself in yourselves. As a couple before you have kids has an additional burden. Okay, so does change this regulation. Oceans, young kids, also ain't it.
These things radically, once you have baby
Why are you become self sacrificial the if it
marriage already, let him have you lost. Your husband was readily that their early this morning, when I left and everyone was sleeping in my bed, raise actually like there's. No thank you, but I guess I'm actually looked into your husband's eyes was probably before your first tried important minutes that sort of car this once you get married you'll be like that for the next ten or twenty five years you better be on solid footing before you have because otherwise get size. It grace says as a conservative, how do you suggest we balanced national security and individual privacy? Obviously this is the big discussion posts. Nine eleven, the Patriot ACT right. So I think that the big question
is what can government do and targeted fashion, not to invite your privacy? What we intended to do is to these broad swat security measures that do invade huge, huge portions of privacy for people because
we are afraid of cortical being discriminatory or of targeting people targeting profiles of people is now
The description of a suspect is not seen as Rachel profiling, for example, into
g in areas where you know the criminals are more likely to be, does not amount to racial profiling. The same holds true with regard to national security. I tend to be
I tend libertarian on the on the national security side. I dont know how much information gathering thoroughgoing actually needs to do for him,
They say they need to do, because why the hell not going to stop them
having trouble by some of the FISA abuse.
Is there that we ve seen over the past fifteen years since the Patriot ACT? Ok, we are almost done. I think we're almost done. We are wrapping up, it's going to, I mean just flown by here,
Joyce S. Bench appear. Oh, I love that he used your last name. May I assure you that I asked the right back at what is a non religious argument against euthanasia. None will adjust arguing against euthanasia. Is that one?
you have doctors who have become
since closer to arguments, one is licence killers get paid. You kill people
They don't really have a medical interest and help it telling people not to die right. So if you're going,
hey. Ten thousand dollars for use in Asia, for example, and somebody calls up in their indiscretion are in the throes of depression.
To kill me, and you say well,
I could either convince you not to do that
take the hungarian run, an invite
taken some other guys gonna take it then
by creating a market for gas, which I think is a serious problem. The other problem than I
Your creating here is the permanent you ve seen in nice in some parts of into the nordic countries with regard
euthanasia, which is the extension
euthanasia, people are not terminally out now. One of the things that people set about euthanasia is well whose business is it of yours. If I wanted, I well, if that's your principal men, presumably
anybody who wants to compensate for any purpose should be able to have the assistance.
Doctrine doing that. I think most people don't agree with that. Right now. I think there's reason they grew that which is its moral important. You broke up with your girlfriend and I feel depressed, and if
the thing on for another week, I'll be fine. I most people would not be ok with
can recall, docking, he's gonna, coloured and shoot me up with some with with some some lethal concoction. They most people would not
Happy with that for reason, I'm, but once you say,
The person has full autonomy to commit commit suicide. Then the question because-
where do you draw the line, and so people and left will try draw the line at terminal illness. But then the question becomes a wire you.
Who plays in your own judgement, for the person who must commit suicide and, as you see, this actually tends to degrade toward people should be able to commit suicide whenever they want, with the help of a doctor, nape ass. What do you think of the idea of the Navy Seals and army delta force? Assassinating gangs cartels? Organised crime syndicates
untouchable, criminal leaders, etc in the less extra or
essential, so I mean needs the idea here. Is that
Obviously, american citizens are guaranteed due process of law. Does not true, if you're an imminent threat to wife rates of somebody's chasing a guy down the street and he's about to kill
you can shoot him, you don't have to wait for him to
kill the guy? Then you drag him in before a judge. I so excellently
we're coming in the United States, as you know anywhere else- and it is actually an issue for american citizens abroad to is
is no good unless you're talking and imminent, let imminent threat to life, life and limb,
For somebody else, David has been. What do you think the chances are that republicans try to primary trump and twenty twenty? Also, what do you think it would take for Republicans?
our collectively turning on him, ok, so number one. I hope the trump does so well, the nobody passed it on him. I think that the great powers,
bearing in mind the chance are very strong, symbolic, John K, sick or Jeff like decides to primary trump, simply out of some sort of misguided egotism, it'll go nowhere at all it'll, be a complete fail and
I think I will do is actually completely by the party even further, then it's our
been divided. Trump is the president from fronting for reelection the chance? If somebody successfully primary him are extraordinarily well, barring some sort of cataclysmic circumstanced between now and twenty twenty in order for Republicans to court?
what turn on trumpet depends I mean, are we talking about not support any of his agenda? And then the answer is: nothing
it happened because of his agendas worth supporting,
that is one of the weird things democratic and say what you don't like. What from said about trials will be supporting this tax cuts is right because I, like this tax cuts
and likewise and about trial is gone confused. Is it a package deal if the idea is when will be
say they will model for from free election. I think there are a number of things that he could do that one vote for him for election if the economy crash- and I think a lot of applicants will sign off. I think that if he's
you no more deeply immoral things and alienated,
blow. What's in it, what's the president from paid for an abortion or something right, I think that would turn off a lot of people are of the press.
And came out embraced. Abortion on demand no turn off a lot of people. The present right gun confiscation their certain.
Headlines that Republicans can cross, and I think that that that, if from crosses runs away from form, I don't think you, oh by the way Derek says: what's the best kind of girl scout cookies,
oh isn't the most important question. So here you know the kind right yet at five dozy DOW Somalia has tag along then man's the best in the freezer one hour
the other one. So there's like a lemon wine, that's just crap, I mean
for being as I'm, really do, I kind of like, if I'm not mistaken, they vote the short bread, cookies right, ok,
I, like the name of the Shepherd one. I think that if they are closer than I like those in if they're not kosher that I like the equivalent of those, I think all Glasgow cookies, kosher, thou think they are but a matter of national ones.
I'll check on Mars, yeah small as marketing departments, event of the smallest, and there have been too many girls called cookies hanging around this office.
It is not helpful. I've Joanna was a pancake James, Jackson'S, I've hayband. What's your views on the Uk Ban on Hate speech and the recent detention of journalists like Lorn Southern try
entry. They may always is our grab a forlorn southern aside for a second hand, while the others-
then, why are you exactly the banning people from entering countries because they said things these sound offensive is a very good way to ensure their views getting wider hearing than if he had not banned them at all
It's really really stupid. It's the equivalent of saying Richard Spencer Catacombs become my camp because we speak so my camp as all the Nazis will show up and then
in one guy shows up or if you make it
then everybody shows up and you make a cause
above, and I think this is really really dumb and again the problem of hate speeches to completely malleable.
From with its illegals from a market has no real definition. So that was our last question wooing how we
We can go home now hanging over the baby. You can go right something out and I have asked you type where such
hundred thirty three wardsmen, so your buckle be out next month behaves
your book with relationship by natural and an children advice exactly that that will not those debts, though, that have that is offered today. Folks, thanks for joining us, every one end that don't forget, you can sell, subscribe, Delaware, not come now and joint.
