Live Questions:
1:13:30 Is China worth going to on vacation? Or do you recommend against that? Why? I’ve been really enjoying the news roundups and shows on the dollar!! 🙌🏻
1:16:24 🤔 😊
1:16:58 Will China or Argentina have a free market revolution before we do? If Javier Milei wins, and Xi is overthrown, and Vivek become the GOP nominee, will you become an optimist?
1:27:38 Is it possible your anger about Trump was a factor in not seeing the China threat early enough
1:30:04 What do you foresee the relationship between Russia and China becoming?
1:35:25 There is also this malaise and you talked about here in the west, so it's interesting to hear the same is happening in china, but worse.
1:36:56 Should an objectivist lawyer make use of unfair/non objective law to win a case?
1:38:31 Your evaluation of the “Rich Men” song reminded me of Syrio Forel, the master sword teacher from Game of Thrones. He said that the key to great swordsmanship is “true seeing.” Is this an ability that you share with him?
1:41:59 Off topic, but in Israel did you feel a lot of pressure to be friends with all your neighbors, whereas is America people leave you alone? Did you find people in Texas were more neighborly than in Southern California?
1:43:31 Are free market ideas becoming mainstream enough in the culture that enough people will view them as a legitimate alternative to implement if real economic disarray takes place? Like we're seeing in Argentina?
1:45:24 Biden does everything for Ukraine two years too late. Would Ramaswamy send weapons to Ukraine on time?
1:46:45 What would you say to people that tell you their grandparents lived under Soviet communism and told them it was a great period, and life was great etc…
1:53:08 In regards to your critique of the Richmond song, why is it "whining" for people to vocalize when they're being screwed? Are you "whining" when you complain about your show not growing?
1:56:53 When I briefly worked in Russia, some people missed the old Soviet days. I assumed their families must have benefited from communism. What do you think?
1:59:40 Why don’t billionaires build skyscrapers as they used to ? Because company boards have no ego ?
2:01:50 If you like fast cars you should look into Andretti racing school. I did it today, it's fun and fast. I got up to 141 and my honey got a blue ribbon
2:02:38 If there was an Objectivist country stronger than the US, would it be immoral for them to topple our gov, since in their POV we don’t respect rights?
2:03:38 Life sucks. People are cheit. Change my mind.
2:04:10 What is a "soul" according to objectivism? Rand wrote we have a self-made soul, but I'm not sure what that means yet.
2:06:33 What is your opinion of Alan Greenspan?
2:08:09 Don't ever let the same people disappoint you twice.
2:08:19 People will look for your weakness so they don't have to listen to you.
2:08:29 You mentioned people moving from rural China to cities was a good thing. Should people who live in rural areas- regardless of country- move to more urban areas?
2:13:15 Can Oliver get better job if he shaved his beard?
