Live Questions:
1:07:35 Hey Yaron, in Australia, there’s debate over multinational gas companies paying tax, as many see it as fair. While I get the economic benefits of no tax, I struggle with the fairness argument. What’s the best moral justification for them not paying tax?
1:12:42 Even if the stock market comes back, economic dislocations and the destruction of wealth caused by tariffs will persist for a long time. Companies and individuals can't take risks because their investments will be ruined at the drop of a hat.
1:16:28 While Trump is a nightmare, the Democrats are not a meaningful alternative. Their failures make Trump possible. And that puts Republicans in a deeply precarious position: Clinging to power not by merit, but by default.
1:20:46 I agree with you totally on trade, but when Peter Schiff says trade deficits are a product of the U.S. sickness of big gov’t/massively inflated dollar, I find it compellling also. Does he have a point? (He’s against tarrifs)
1:24:11 The head of the IRS just resigned bc Trumps immigration thugs want to collect tax data on illegal immigrants. He wants to deport people who are working and paying taxes into a system they will never receive benefits from.
1:26:27 Can you explain Treasury Bonds and why yields matter, and are concerning?
1:31:40 The argument for hiking taxes from lefties: Research shows 56% of gas exported from Australia attracts 0 royalty payments effectively giving a public resource to multinational gas corporations for free. It’s time the gas industry started paying its fair share.
1:35:14 Even though the enlightenment is much stronger in the US than Europe, we have John Dewey. Which makes us dumber and more emotional than Europeans. Could this make fascism more susceptible to spreading here than Europe?
1:36:33 A relative owns a successful beauty salon. She knows tariffs will increase her costs, but says we shouldn't want instant gratification; we will eventually become the powerful country we used to be. She is deeply religious.
1:38:01 The tariff rhetoric strikes me as the same pitch as utopian communism. The initial slavery is just a "transitional period" we have to go through. The old structures have to be torn down to make way for the paradise to come...
1:39:15 Will Trump settle down for the remainder of his term? It seems like a few adults have entered the room. If not, is their a chance he can be impeached in 2026 when the Democrats take both the house and senate?
1:41:27 If someone is married to, and stays married to, a horrible person, is it legitimate to criticize them for that, or maybe they are afraid to leave and more information is needed to judge them?
1:42:44 god make this tariff madness stop
1:43:19 Trump is more of a fluke than a tsunami. Americans already can't stand him. MAGA snuck into power due to the incompetence of the Democrats. in 2028 the phenomenon is gone.
1:44:34 Argentina had to enter a recession to heal the economy, but America does not. Can you explain the difference here?
1:48:06 Do you think Milei’s example might have inspired Trump to take more drastic measures, hoping for similar long-term results?
1:49:21 Did you hear Lawrence Wong, PM Singapore's speech?
1:49:42 What do the far left and MAGA have in common? The idea that the future good of all requires your destruction in the present.
1:50:58 Does all malevolent behavior come from low self-esteem?
1:51:16 The market rebound is cold comfort. Trump is holding the us/world hostage, he should get no credit or praise. It’s not even full rebound! Madness!
