Please Read & invite Michael Lewis on your show or watch some of his interviews of what REALLY happened. YOU KNOW FACTS, if your interested in them. Why firing 4000 employees is crazy. How what Trump did during the transisition led to the COVID MESS! The Fifth Risk is a 2018 non-fiction book by Michael Lewis that examines the transition and political appointments of the Donald Trump presidency, especially with respect to three government agencies: the Department of Energy, the Department of Agriculture, and the Department of Commerce.[1][2][3][4][5] The book spent fourteen weeks on The New York Times non-fiction best-seller list.[6] A lengthy excerpt from the book was published twice by The Guardian, using a quote from a top adviser to Trump in the title.[7]
@@JaHe-u3whe was never announced as his VP not even part of his short list. You can't have a vp and president who are basically the same mind. You need a grounder and a leader. Both would be leaders and that's not compatible. Vivek will 100% be involved in his closest cabinet and pave a runway for a future VP or Pres option down the road following Trump/vance
Vivek as VP would be REDUNDANT - Trump can bring him in to run the "CANCELLING" ( at least 50% ) the majority of the D.C. Bureaucrats in the Federal Government ! Although I doubt if even Trump has the GUT to take on , and pare down the 4 million strong bureaucracy ... 😞 ( of which 50% are useless, and wasteful - FYI, before Jimmy Carter , America was just fine without the Department of Education, and the Department of Energy ... 🙂 )
3:30 These points are not a joke. I don’t care if you love or hate the guy, he’s 100% spot on with the risk of EMP/cyber infrastructure attacks. The average person doesn’t understand the impact here. Remember the Crowdstrike outage and how everyone was happy to get out of work? Imagine that’s the power to a children’s hospital. The water your family needs to survive. Our capability to respond to nuclear strikes. We live in a coddled bubble, that WILL burst. I pray we are strong like the generations before us, but this next war will be incomprehensibly fast and unbound in scope.
The west has lost sight of the reality of life on earth. We live in an anomaly that has never existed before. I think reality is a lot more like living in ukraine
I am a manager in the fed gov. I’ve always said the employees are truly in charge. I have to convince my staff to do work and I have to be convinced to do work by my boss. Absolutely should change!
And yet…. You willingly take your paycheck whilst simultaneously screwing over your neighbors & fellow countrymen……. But I’m the bad guy for noticing, eh?
@@JimmyGoldberg-ux8ik Are you really hoping for an answer? The left just say, he sucks, he is bad, blah blah, but give a REAL full explanation with facts and not feelings is extremely rare.
I like that Lex doesn't interrupt, let's the interviewee speak, extrapolate, and finish their thoughts. Having said that, Lex looks very uncomfortable to me during this time with Vivek, it's obvious to me Lex is not on board with many, or all of Vivek's propositions. BUT, is unable to refute the logic and efficiency and effectiveness of them...which makes Lex so uncomfortable. Bureaucracy is bloated and fat, needs to be cut. Obvious. Illegals immigrants broke the law, should be accountable, should be shipped back. The cost of doing so is same or less expensive then keeping them here to take advantage of the "free" stuff, so that's a wash argument. At any rate, I don't know about the 75% cut needed argument, I can say I worked in the U.S. Navy for a time, and about 25% really did the work. But there is a good percentage out there that, if taken out, nobody would know any difference, and the savings to the American taxpayer and deficit reduction would be huge. And the people, lord forgive, that get cut, will have to find another job just like all of us out there in the work force. So are we going to do the hard and necessary or keep on doing the easy and popular?
He's a deep state sympathiser like the democrats have become, they have sided with the corrupt gov against we the people, they are critical of the people but love the government as opposed to love the country but are critical of the government.. when Lex gets drunk he makes total sense
Ugh.. I am a federal HR specialist and forget about trying to fire a federal employee.. it’s not happening. If you try to fire anyone they claim discrimination, retaliation, etc and it all stops. Management knows this and therefore won’t do anything..
Same thing in Spain, it's so socialist and anti-capitalist that it's impossible to build businesses so everyone just wants a job as a public employee, and it's the same thing, the service they give is known as bad because they can't get fired.
Well it's time that all changed and it's simple enough to do ALL of that when congress simply stops funding entire depts. It doesn't matter how much screaming and lawsuits they try. Those jobs just stop being funded, exactly how that happens in the real world. Those jobs are gone, if they're not funded. Super simple.
10:45 thank you Vivek for referring to it as a republic. We are supposed to be a constitutional republic not a democracy. It’s so refreshing to hear someone refer to it as our Republic. Save our republic. Yes! 51% of us can’t vote away the other 49%’s right. We have a constitution and a bill of rights. We’ve drifted off course in many ways, but thanks to this essential foundational factor, there is hope to self correct. Our individual freedom of speech rights in particular make it possible for a wise brave loan voice to speak out and present evidence that can wake people up in time to change course, even when a large portion of us have fell for propaganda and want you to be silenced. This is a place where the better ideas can prevail, even when they go against the powerful status quo.
Corporate donors. Paying politicians and lobby groups. There's a reason certain things are unanimous in Congress even though the two parties have never been more divided.
What you're describing is a well functioning democracy according to the Republican Supreme Court. When you start naming names, you'll be ready to hold the public officials responsible, accountable. Let's talk about who's getting their way on tax policy next. (85% of the budget is employment taxes, and Republicans are openly discriminating against workers' organizing.) It's top v bottom, and that's the end result of decades of anti worker politics.
@@michaelfreeland2791 The law requires corporations to be run in the interests of shareholders. What do you say we replace "shareholders" with "employees" in that law, and see if we can't get a better deal on taxes with Congress? In practice, corporations aren't property of shareholders if we don't want them to be. There's any number of interests that need to be represented to ensure the efficient functioning of a business.
I like lex, but he is 100% out of his league in this interview. He hasnt a clue how intelligent vivek actually is. Sorry lex, you seemed like a boy amongst men in this interview
hilarious .... LOL! ( since Lex is actually 'hidden' Lefty Liberal, because intellectually he cannot get away from the BigState concept (since he is a part of the PROBLEM - Lefty Academia ! ) , and in spite of the fact that intellectually Fridman agrees that DeepSwamp in D.C. is not the best for America and Americans ! ... )
lol Vivek is a weasel bud. Money in politics is the issue in this country, it’s one thing everyone agrees on. If your political leaders aren’t running on fixing that issue, they are a part of the problem and we will continue to get the same results. It’s going to be legislation that helps donors, and that’s going to be basically it. They will throw people enough to not riot, and we will continue to be robbed by the wealthy and corporate class.
It’s sort of disappointing to be honest. There is certainly value in a “centrist” (albeit very right leaning) apolitical platform interviewing a political operative. However, there needs to be a more rigorous prep in order to provide meaningful counterpoints and sufficiently challenging questions. Without this you enhance the echo chamber effect for those who agree and alienate those who disagree. Anyone in the middle gets a hohum ping pong match without much value added. Total miss, for me.
@@spacefox5823 odd thing to say: it was an interview not a debate. But along the same lines as the OP: it was quite apparent that Lex was not adequately prepared for anything beyond a wiffle ball Q&A session.
“A republic, if you can keep it.” My country is now just an apparatus that chugs along. If it can even be done it will take decades to change course. In the meantime if you happen to not be a part of the bureaucratic machine and get ground up in the gears not much can, or will, be done.
3:55 this is the first time I have heard ANY POLITICIAN talks about the very real threat of solar flares. In 2012, a solar flare narrowly missed Earth. Had it hit, it would've taken many electronics across the world offline. Modern hospitals cannot provide without power. Nearly every way people are fed requires power. It's a looming catastrophe, and one humanity is poorly equipped to handle.
HomeLand Security Department should worry less about the "illegals", and prepare for the serious attacks by Chynna ! ( the SOUTHERN WALL should be BUILD, COMPLETED ; and then the 'illegals should be DEPORTED, unless they are individually proven important to American economy - if you have a JOB and are paying Taxes you "stay" ( get a Work Permit) , if you are on Public Assistance you "go" ... relatively simple formula ! )
Don’t be the US fucks us Europeans over by a fair margin compared to what we do to them. Europe is a vital part of the favorable position the US is in. Without Europe the dollar won’t be the global currency as other power blocks will take over. This has huge advantages for them. People in the US government and European governments know this and thats why we have some kind of leverage.
Hes just not as educated on these issues as Vivek is. Vivek often sounds like the smartest guy in any convo because he is so well spoken. I like that lex let him talk and didnt try to speak over him with lack of knowledge.
I would say that protecting individual rights is the proper function of government, which means protecting a person's right to his life, his liberty, the fruits of his labors and his pursuit of happiness. Lockean rights, really. Locke did put it in terms of property rights, by which he included that the person's on life is his property. So, the right to life is foundational. 0-/ h_0fp
Vivek wants to take our money and spend it on CBP and DHS. Two failing, gigantic bureaucracies. It's hard to take him seriously if you actually understand how the federal system works.
@@that_hereticBut he also wants to drain the swamp and make CBP and DHS more effective and not be failing bureaucracies. Viveks point of view is very interesting and something that everyone would benefit from hearing. You may not take it to the same level as him but it's still an option that most people haven't thought of. Remember the fight for gay marriage? The two sides were for or against it. If you take Viveks point of view restricting the governments control, then you actually get a third option that many people never considered. Why is the government this involved in marriage in the first place? Get the government out of marriage. They aren't your parents. You can debate on how you would specifically do that but that option was never talked about back then.

I think that, at this point, the only reasonable solution for all, to avoid further downfall, is for all sides, globaly, to blame it on the Devil. Not on any other humans or groups of us. Because otherwise all this could get really ugly... 🤐🧠
@ZecZli So blaming Jews or Gays is no longer an option? 🤔😮😢 That may not go over well in Russia, because they seem to think that these groups and Satanists are one and the same. 🤷
Blaming it on the devil means blaming it on man or the wicked man. I agree with you that this is what is not only ruining the nation but it’s ruining humanity but many humans will never see it from this perspective because they are too selfish/narcissistic. Maybe this is nihilistic to say but sometimes I truly believe that the world needs to be “cleansed” or wiped clean of the virus that have become human beings(atleast the wicked ones). The concerning question is can the devil truly be wiped out or are humans keeping the devil alive?
Trump will emulate Milie's economic approach. If Argentina, one of if not the most sunken countries in South America had the result in +- 6 months of his administration imagine how fast the US can start to recover. Milei will be reminded as one if not the greatest economist of this generation!!.
Everyone has the same questions like “Who is running the country? But nobody gets the bottom of it. Even the ones have the responsibility to do so. Disgusting!
Lex, read more. This really shows your ignorance with what our country is going through. Turn off the Liberal media and start listening to the people around you and then form an opinion.
nothing , other than the fast-food industry, and the construction industry, and the agricultural industry would ALL go into a 'toilet' ... since that is where the illegals mostly work these days !
A very significant portion of blue collar labor in this country is driven by illegal immigrants. Jobs citizens will not do or at least for current pay. Mass deportations risks labor shortage and cost hikes, ie inflation.
Labeling it US Imperial interests when Imperialism was founded in your back yard is a rich theory. Real Americans don't want to be in other people's business just as you don't want us in yours.
Nato = modern Roman empire. Look up the ancient obelisks locations. The US became their new home base after London. They just changed their name, but is still running the world as we speak. Unless China / Russia takes the throne.
not uncommon for clips channels, if you look at his history some will be up for a week with 10k views then 3 days later he has a clip with almost 1m views
Here's what you do. You make it a $200,000 fine for anyone who hires, rents to, or sells real estate to an illegal immigrant. Then they will go back home on their own to their own countries.
I love how lex has so many concerns about the deportation but none about allowing 25 million unvetted people to remain here which hurts AMERICAnS. Economically they are getting tax payer benefits instead of us. The rebuild of these hurricanes will be a small portion of money compared to what we spent on illegals and foreign wars. They are boosting supply and demand for social services such as housing food schooling. Takes away from Americans in need veterans in need. Anything you can name in this country it effects. No country could sustain 25 million extra people in a short span of time. It is too big of a supply and demand. If 1% of these 25 million people are criminals(which ofc there are many) our communities and national security is at a major risk. But our main priorities should still be them ? We cannot be the worlds santa claus.
Amped to see what people like Vivek and Elon etc are helping in government. These are innovative and motivated types. Makes me extremely excited for the future of our country and the entire world thereafter. If he runs in 2028 he has my vote and am curious what all gets accomplished in the coming 4 years when true innovators and people who allow regular people a voice and a microphone to ask and plead. Who are willing to speak to anyone. Exciting times. Not to mention seeing these wars started in the last few years with current weak leadership to come to an end. Kamala and Biden etc want even take an interview with people who don’t agree or let person after person or interview after interview have a mic to ask a question like trump and Vivek do daily. It’s giving people a voice. Kamala or Biden negotiations with Russia or China is a scary prospect. And the direction theee wars are going in now. It’s scary with this weak people n power.
He’s as slimy as they come. Disingenuous at best, bad faith actor. Agree with conman for sure. Would I have preferred to see him as GOP nominee over Trump: absolutely, but that bar is in hell…
@@seedublancaster9755 That bar will not give him their choice of nominee because of he is not white etc. If he was dem. They would switch anyone to get him in office.
Can I just mention the Iraq War... oh and Afghanistan. Who is funding whose wars and who is taking risks. And who has actually started a war in Nato... apart from the US.
I’m fine with the first purpose Vivek lays out for the federal government - protecting the American people, for example, by ensuring that additions to that people are not done by illegal border crossings that are subsequently granted some type of legal status. But as to the second purpose of government - protecting private property rights - I think that’s too narrow. Why wouldn’t the government be responsible at the least for enforcing and/or adjudicating the laws that students study in the first 1-2 years of law school: property, yes, but also contracts, torts, and criminal laws, along with attendant laws on legal procedure (civil procedure, criminal procedure and evidence)? Sure, much of this can be handled by state governments, but not all. It’s one country, and I don’t want to re-invent the wheel through years of re-harmonizing what is a securities fraud across all 50 states.
Lex is great here at avoiding common sense brought on from Vivek. Policies that actually help all of us, etc. Shoot, if he didn’t pull this see-through pseudo “challenging” questions, Lex would lose half his audience.
@bicdNW because he has no moral compassion and back bone. He twists himself like a pretzel trying to justify the every crazy and indefensable thing Trump has said and did because that's literally the only way to be in Trump good graces. He's an empty vessel, and will do anything to obtain power and in the end, only serve corperate power. His allegiance to Donald Trump is the perfect example
Someone got to Vivek. He used to criticize the military industrial complex. Now he's promising not to cut military budget, but to just spend it "in different places." Sounds like he's decided his career will be his first priority, principles second, and only if the situation allows
For NATO nations not paying their percentage, when disaster or political unrest arises that the State does not assist with or protect from, the US steps in on behalf of innocent citizens. But as a result, we fed the cause for the US to be accused of being World Police.
A little wrong on that Japanese note. If the CEO of a Japanese company told a researcher not to do something that researcher would stop doing what they were doing. The problem is usually the instructions are vague and ambiguous. When the orders are clear, they are followed. If a direct order is disobeyed, the CEO could fire such a person, but what would most likely happen is that worker would be transferred and put in a position that is unbearable. The work would be so unbearable, the worker may very well quit.
Don't confuse supersonic with hypersonic. But in any event, long-range rockets - the kind that travel most of their route above the atmosphere - have been hypersonic since the 1950s.
Hey Vivek, I understand the rationale around dismantling the nanny state, and I agree about not replacing it with a conservative nanny state, but here is my concern. If conservatives don’t define what this minimum government/ maximum governance thing is, THEN SOMEONE ELESE (read socialists) WILL DO IT FOR YOU. I hope to heck you are reading this, and this failure to define what minimum government is, is also a failure of the libertarian movement, in my view.
This thing about separating families when deporting people makes no sense. They knew the risk and they didn't care, having said that those families are already separated. What, then you'll want that child to bring his whole family just so the family can be "complete"? Makes no sense. It's just the fault of irresponsible parents, if you don't have the means then don't have the kid. Don't make everyone pay for their mistakes.
I agree with dismantling the beauracracy but i disagree with the "entitlement". American citizens are indeed entitled to safety nets. If we pay taxes and produce for society, then the government should be there to protect us. The role of the goverment should be to protect our constituional rights... Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
3:42 he says some very common misinformation about defense right here. Faster than the speed of sound is “supersonic” (above mach 1). “Hypersonic” specifically means at least 5 times the speed of sound (above mach 5). For reference, the SR-71 Blackbird could operate safely at a maximum speed of mach 3.3 at 85,000 ft.
So he says its faster than the speed of sound and you're saying hes incorrect because its actually 5x faster than the speed of sound..... its still faster than the speed of sound
Russia and China don't have hypersonic missiles, they only go hypersonic when exoatmospheric. We've been able to do that for 40 years.... also our missile defense systems are able to track and lock missiles that are at hypersonic speed
I love Vivek and his vision for America, but on the fair share issue in NATO: US have a lot of base-infrastructure in foreign countries which YOU DO NOT PAY for. In Germany especially as you mention it, there are districts which are depicted aus US-soil, so no German law applies here. This is, sorry to say it, an outright invasion. If a foreign country, beside an embassy, would have military infrastructure in the US, how would you call it? You are also not paying us Germans for this invaded territory any reparations, we just have to tolerate that. So if we speak about a fair share: Here it is, you invaded us and now say we have to pay a fair share which will go predominantly to your base-infrastructure, to your defense companies, etc. So please define "fair share" to the German citizens again. Just to be mentioned: The bad russians have no military base-infrastructure here, no military airports, no missile headquarters, no own hospitals, schools, etc. But the US have it right before our eyes!
@@nicolasoltonwhat nonsense !! Do u know the ‘a’ of Hindu n Indian culture to talk about Brahminism ! What does that hv to do in the US which is a Christian country ? Thought western countries were casteless … ooops not really !
I see it this way if we straight up ask countries for “protection money” we sound no different than the Sopranos. In the same hand a lot of European countries look down on us for our war mongering and gun waving ways… yet we protect them entirely for free… it’s a weird we live in!
If there were two detectives trying to solve the murder of "A" and both detectives have different answers "B" did it, "C" did it. Both need to explain how they came to their conclusion in court. If the first Detective provides an evidential reason (objective). It superseeds the other one saying (i just THINK/ [i disagree] that they murdered "A", (subjective). This here is the problem when someone doesn't provide a WHY or HOW to their disagreement. It's an excuse. Childish
IQ is immaterial. IQ is the measure for children. The measure is wisdom. You get wisdom through humility. Wisdom is a gift from our Lord. You are walking this earth because you have been gifted this life from our Lord. You are not on this earth much longer. Learn the churches intellectual tradition and square it up with your worldview. And we’ll see who is smarter when reduced all the way down in every scenario in all reality. We lie to ourselves because we don’t commit to truth
Not always. Often the result of regulatory capture by corporate interests who want to shape the playing field to serve their interests. On top of power trips and the growing sene of superiority by regulators.
23 NATO countries out of 32 contribute at least 2 % in 2024. Check your stats Vivek. By the way, most of NATO countries supported and died in your wars in Iraq, Afghanistan
As Mattis has famously said many times, every dollar not spent on diplomacy is 5-10 that needs spent on things like bullets. If your response to every problem is military power, you're, at the very best, unwise. Vivek is, at his very best, unwise.
****If your response to every problem is military power, **** What's good for Military, ( and the American Industrial Complex ) it is good for AMERICA 🙂

Please Read & invite Michael Lewis on your show or watch some of his interviews of what REALLY happened.
YOU KNOW FACTS, if your interested in them. Why firing 4000 employees is crazy. How what Trump did during the transisition led to the COVID MESS!
The Fifth Risk is a 2018 non-fiction book by Michael Lewis that examines the transition and political appointments of the Donald Trump presidency, especially with respect to three government agencies: the Department of Energy, the Department of Agriculture, and the Department of Commerce.[1][2][3][4][5] The book spent fourteen weeks on The New York Times non-fiction best-seller list.[6] A lengthy excerpt from the book was published twice by The Guardian, using a quote from a top adviser to Trump in the title.[7]

( of which 50% are useless, and wasteful - FYI, before Jimmy Carter , America was just fine without the Department of Education, and the Department of Energy ... 🙂 )
VP is symbolic in practice, secretary cabinet is almost always far more practical for your best minds
Vivek for Secretary of State ? or Secretary of Commerce ?

Lex is saying that he disagrees but doesn’t give the reason why… you can not say you disagree just to stay I a safe zone
I’m not impressed with Lex. Just another tool in the bag

I don’t watch lex too much… love Vivek though. Great sit down here guys.
I like that Lex doesn't interrupt, let's the interviewee speak, extrapolate, and finish their thoughts. Having said that, Lex looks very uncomfortable to me during this time with Vivek, it's obvious to me Lex is not on board with many, or all of Vivek's propositions. BUT, is unable to refute the logic and efficiency and effectiveness of them...which makes Lex so uncomfortable. Bureaucracy is bloated and fat, needs to be cut. Obvious. Illegals immigrants broke the law, should be accountable, should be shipped back. The cost of doing so is same or less expensive then keeping them here to take advantage of the "free" stuff, so that's a wash argument.
At any rate, I don't know about the 75% cut needed argument, I can say I worked in the U.S. Navy for a time, and about 25% really did the work. But there is a good percentage out there that, if taken out, nobody would know any difference, and the savings to the American taxpayer and deficit reduction would be huge. And the people, lord forgive, that get cut, will have to find another job just like all of us out there in the work force. So are we going to do the hard and necessary or keep on doing the easy and popular?
He's a deep state sympathiser like the democrats have become, they have sided with the corrupt gov against we the people, they are critical of the people but love the government as opposed to love the country but are critical of the government.. when Lex gets drunk he makes total sense
This is the type of leadership that we need, regardless of the political party.
Ugh.. I am a federal HR specialist and forget about trying to fire a federal employee.. it’s not happening. If you try to fire anyone they claim discrimination, retaliation, etc and it all stops. Management knows this and therefore won’t do anything..
Same thing in Spain, it's so socialist and anti-capitalist that it's impossible to build businesses so everyone just wants a job as a public employee, and it's the same thing, the service they give is known as bad because they can't get fired.
Well it's time that all changed and it's simple enough to do ALL of that when congress simply stops funding entire depts. It doesn't matter how much screaming and lawsuits they try. Those jobs just stop being funded, exactly how that happens in the real world. Those jobs are gone, if they're not funded. Super simple.

10:45 thank you Vivek for referring to it as a republic. We are supposed to be a constitutional republic not a democracy. It’s so refreshing to hear someone refer to it as our Republic. Save our republic. Yes! 51% of us can’t vote away the other 49%’s right. We have a constitution and a bill of rights. We’ve drifted off course in many ways, but thanks to this essential foundational factor, there is hope to self correct. Our individual freedom of speech rights in particular make it possible for a wise brave loan voice to speak out and present evidence that can wake people up in time to change course, even when a large portion of us have fell for propaganda and want you to be silenced. This is a place where the better ideas can prevail, even when they go against the powerful status quo.

Back door deals.
What you're describing is a well functioning democracy according to the Republican Supreme Court.
When you start naming names, you'll be ready to hold the public officials responsible, accountable.
Let's talk about who's getting their way on tax policy next. (85% of the budget is employment taxes, and Republicans are openly discriminating against workers' organizing.)
It's top v bottom, and that's the end result of decades of anti worker politics.
And who runs all these corporations etc? The chosen
@@michaelfreeland2791 The law requires corporations to be run in the interests of shareholders.
What do you say we replace "shareholders" with "employees" in that law, and see if we can't get a better deal on taxes with Congress?

There's any number of interests that need to be represented to ensure the efficient functioning of a business.

Watching Lex so out of his depth in subject matter is really funny to watch.

lol Vivek is a weasel bud. Money in politics is the issue in this country, it’s one thing everyone agrees on. If your political leaders aren’t running on fixing that issue, they are a part of the problem and we will continue to get the same results. It’s going to be legislation that helps donors, and that’s going to be basically it. They will throw people enough to not riot, and we will continue to be robbed by the wealthy and corporate class.
Rivek ate him alive
It’s sort of disappointing to be honest. There is certainly value in a “centrist” (albeit very right leaning) apolitical platform interviewing a political operative. However, there needs to be a more rigorous prep in order to provide meaningful counterpoints and sufficiently challenging questions. Without this you enhance the echo chamber effect for those who agree and alienate those who disagree. Anyone in the middle gets a hohum ping pong match without much value added. Total miss, for me.
@@spacefox5823 odd thing to say: it was an interview not a debate. But along the same lines as the OP: it was quite apparent that Lex was not adequately prepared for anything beyond a wiffle ball Q&A session.
“A republic, if you can keep it.”
My country is now just an apparatus that chugs along. If it can even be done it will take decades to change course.
In the meantime if you happen to not be a part of the bureaucratic machine and get ground up in the gears not much can, or will, be done.
3:55 this is the first time I have heard ANY POLITICIAN talks about the very real threat of solar flares. In 2012, a solar flare narrowly missed Earth. Had it hit, it would've taken many electronics across the world offline. Modern hospitals cannot provide without power. Nearly every way people are fed requires power. It's a looming catastrophe, and one humanity is poorly equipped to handle.
HomeLand Security Department should worry less about the "illegals", and prepare for the serious attacks by Chynna !
( the SOUTHERN WALL should be BUILD, COMPLETED ; and then the 'illegals should be DEPORTED, unless they are individually proven important to American economy - if you have a JOB and are paying Taxes you "stay" ( get a Work Permit) , if you are on Public Assistance you "go" ... relatively simple formula ! )
I’m glad this conversation is being had because it’s not being had nearly enough.

Without Europe the dollar won’t be the global currency as other power blocks will take over. This has huge advantages for them. People in the US government and European governments know this and thats why we have some kind of leverage.
Lex sounds like a child here.
Hes just not as educated on these issues as Vivek is. Vivek often sounds like the smartest guy in any convo because he is so well spoken. I like that lex let him talk and didnt try to speak over him with lack of knowledge.
I would say that protecting individual rights is the proper function of government, which means protecting a person's right to his life, his liberty, the fruits of his labors and his pursuit of happiness. Lockean rights, really.
Locke did put it in terms of property rights, by which he included that the person's on life is his property. So, the right to life is foundational.

The nanny state needs to be defined. It can’t be; we take your taxes but give you nothing while spending wildly.
Vivek wants to take our money and spend it on CBP and DHS. Two failing, gigantic bureaucracies.
It's hard to take him seriously if you actually understand how the federal system works.
@@that_hereticBut he also wants to drain the swamp and make CBP and DHS more effective and not be failing bureaucracies.
Viveks point of view is very interesting and something that everyone would benefit from hearing. You may not take it to the same level as him but it's still an option that most people haven't thought of.
Remember the fight for gay marriage? The two sides were for or against it. If you take Viveks point of view restricting the governments control, then you actually get a third option that many people never considered. Why is the government this involved in marriage in the first place? Get the government out of marriage. They aren't your parents. You can debate on how you would specifically do that but that option was never talked about back then.

I think that, at this point, the only reasonable solution for all, to avoid further downfall, is for all sides, globaly, to blame it on the Devil. Not on any other humans or groups of us. Because otherwise all this could get really ugly... 🤐🧠
@ZecZli So blaming Jews or Gays is no longer an option? 🤔😮😢 That may not go over well in Russia, because they seem to think that these groups and Satanists are one and the same. 🤷
Blaming it on the devil means blaming it on man or the wicked man. I agree with you that this is what is not only ruining the nation but it’s ruining humanity but many humans will never see it from this perspective because they are too selfish/narcissistic. Maybe this is nihilistic to say but sometimes I truly believe that the world needs to be “cleansed” or wiped clean of the virus that have become human beings(atleast the wicked ones). The concerning question is can the devil truly be wiped out or are humans keeping the devil alive?
Trump will emulate Milie's economic approach. If Argentina, one of if not the most sunken countries in South America had the result in +- 6 months of his administration imagine how fast the US can start to recover. Milei will be reminded as one if not the greatest economist of this generation!!.
I like Milei, but has he actually accomplished anything yet?
As for the US, what is it that they need to recover from?
Everyone has the same questions like “Who is running the country? But nobody gets the bottom of it. Even the ones have the responsibility to do so. Disgusting!
He's right, if DOD focused on homeland, 9/11 wouldn't have happened.

Lex, read more. This really shows your ignorance with what our country is going through. Turn off the Liberal media and start listening to the people around you and then form an opinion.
24:40 Lex, what exactly would be an economic harm from deporting people that are here illegally? 🤔 seriously, please enlighten us
nothing , other than the fast-food industry, and the construction industry, and the agricultural industry would ALL go into a 'toilet' ... since that is where the illegals mostly work these days !
A very significant portion of blue collar labor in this country is driven by illegal immigrants. Jobs citizens will not do or at least for current pay. Mass deportations risks labor shortage and cost hikes, ie inflation.
Everybody likes Lex. He's very smart and a nice guy, so I do too, but he's a bit of a weiner.

As an evropean observer, I see NATO defends mostly US imperial interests, even on becost of Europeans, so it's actually colonial army of the US.
Labeling it US Imperial interests when Imperialism was founded in your back yard is a rich theory. Real Americans don't want to be in other people's business just as you don't want us in yours.
Yes, exactly!
Nato = modern Roman empire. Look up the ancient obelisks locations. The US became their new home base after London. They just changed their name, but is still running the world as we speak. Unless China / Russia takes the throne.

Here's what you do. You make it a $200,000 fine for anyone who hires, rents to, or sells real estate to an illegal immigrant. Then they will go back home on their own to their own countries.
I love how lex has so many concerns about the deportation but none about allowing 25 million unvetted people to remain here which hurts AMERICAnS. Economically they are getting tax payer benefits instead of us. The rebuild of these hurricanes will be a small portion of money compared to what we spent on illegals and foreign wars. They are boosting supply and demand for social services such as housing food schooling. Takes away from Americans in need veterans in need. Anything you can name in this country it effects. No country could sustain 25 million extra people in a short span of time. It is too big of a supply and demand. If 1% of these 25 million people are criminals(which ofc there are many) our communities and national security is at a major risk. But our main priorities should still be them ? We cannot be the worlds santa claus.
Amped to see what people like Vivek and Elon etc are helping in government. These are innovative and motivated types. Makes me extremely excited for the future of our country and the entire world thereafter. If he runs in 2028 he has my vote and am curious what all gets accomplished in the coming 4 years when true innovators and people who allow regular people a voice and a microphone to ask and plead. Who are willing to speak to anyone. Exciting times. Not to mention seeing these wars started in the last few years with current weak leadership to come to an end. Kamala and Biden etc want even take an interview with people who don’t agree or let person after person or interview after interview have a mic to ask a question like trump and Vivek do daily. It’s giving people a voice. Kamala or Biden negotiations with Russia or China is a scary prospect. And the direction theee wars are going in now. It’s scary with this weak people n power.

Putin is the only person responsible for the war in Ukraine.
I’m fine with the first purpose Vivek lays out for the federal government - protecting the American people, for example, by ensuring that additions to that people are not done by illegal border crossings that are subsequently granted some type of legal status.
But as to the second purpose of government - protecting private property rights - I think that’s too narrow. Why wouldn’t the government be responsible at the least for enforcing and/or adjudicating the laws that students study in the first 1-2 years of law school: property, yes, but also contracts, torts, and criminal laws, along with attendant laws on legal procedure (civil procedure, criminal procedure and evidence)? Sure, much of this can be handled by state governments, but not all. It’s one country, and I don’t want to re-invent the wheel through years of re-harmonizing what is a securities fraud across all 50 states.
3 branches.
Lex is great here at avoiding common sense brought on from Vivek. Policies that actually help all of us, etc.

Someone got to Vivek. He used to criticize the military industrial complex. Now he's promising not to cut military budget, but to just spend it "in different places." Sounds like he's decided his career will be his first priority, principles second, and only if the situation allows
Lex always reminds me why I don’t watch his show.
Please have Nassim Taleb on the podcast, Lex. He introduced me and many people to the "skin in the game" concept.
Usually you bring valid points.
For NATO nations not paying their percentage, when disaster or political unrest arises that the State does not assist with or protect from, the US steps in on behalf of innocent citizens.
But as a result, we fed the cause for the US to be accused of being World Police.
Reagan tried to reduce the size of government, but failed.
Not only is there a Nanny State there is a Police/information state.
A little wrong on that Japanese note. If the CEO of a Japanese company told a researcher not to do something that researcher would stop doing what they were doing. The problem is usually the instructions are vague and ambiguous. When the orders are clear, they are followed. If a direct order is disobeyed, the CEO could fire such a person, but what would most likely happen is that worker would be transferred and put in a position that is unbearable. The work would be so unbearable, the worker may very well quit.
Don't confuse supersonic with hypersonic. But in any event, long-range rockets - the kind that travel most of their route above the atmosphere - have been hypersonic since the 1950s.
Hey Vivek, I understand the rationale around dismantling the nanny state, and I agree about not replacing it with a conservative nanny state, but here is my concern. If conservatives don’t define what this minimum government/ maximum governance thing is, THEN SOMEONE ELESE (read socialists) WILL DO IT FOR YOU. I hope to heck you are reading this, and this failure to define what minimum government is, is also a failure of the libertarian movement, in my view.

This thing about separating families when deporting people makes no sense. They knew the risk and they didn't care, having said that those families are already separated. What, then you'll want that child to bring his whole family just so the family can be "complete"? Makes no sense. It's just the fault of irresponsible parents, if you don't have the means then don't have the kid. Don't make everyone pay for their mistakes.
I agree with dismantling the beauracracy but i disagree with the "entitlement". American citizens are indeed entitled to safety nets. If we pay taxes and produce for society, then the government should be there to protect us. The role of the goverment should be to protect our constituional rights... Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
3:42 he says some very common misinformation about defense right here. Faster than the speed of sound is “supersonic” (above mach 1). “Hypersonic” specifically means at least 5 times the speed of sound (above mach 5).
For reference, the SR-71 Blackbird could operate safely at a maximum speed of mach 3.3 at 85,000 ft.
So he says its faster than the speed of sound and you're saying hes incorrect because its actually 5x faster than the speed of sound..... its still faster than the speed of sound
Russia and China don't have hypersonic missiles, they only go hypersonic when exoatmospheric. We've been able to do that for 40 years.... also our missile defense systems are able to track and lock missiles that are at hypersonic speed
“We don’t have much cash ourselves” Vivek, who do you think creates US dollars? Taxpayers? Security holders?
I love Vivek and his vision for America, but on the fair share issue in NATO: US have a lot of base-infrastructure in foreign countries which YOU DO NOT PAY for. In Germany especially as you mention it, there are districts which are depicted aus US-soil, so no German law applies here. This is, sorry to say it, an outright invasion. If a foreign country, beside an embassy, would have military infrastructure in the US, how would you call it? You are also not paying us Germans for this invaded territory any reparations, we just have to tolerate that. So if we speak about a fair share: Here it is, you invaded us and now say we have to pay a fair share which will go predominantly to your base-infrastructure, to your defense companies, etc. So please define "fair share" to the German citizens again.
Just to be mentioned: The bad russians have no military base-infrastructure here, no military airports, no missile headquarters, no own hospitals, schools, etc. But the US have it right before our eyes!

If there were two detectives trying to solve the murder of "A" and both detectives have different answers "B" did it, "C" did it. Both need to explain how they came to their conclusion in court.
If the first Detective provides an evidential reason (objective). It superseeds the other one saying (i just THINK/ [i disagree] that they murdered "A", (subjective).
