| 00:00 - 00:03 | A listener asked why are you still doing shows |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | on art and beauty while |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | the world is on fire, (here and here) |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | this is the worst the world has been. at least in my lifetime |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | it's nuts out there, craziness |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | I'm always tempted to say |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | forget about this politics stuff |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | There's some truth to that, |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | but also |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | some naivete, and I don't think |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | one can have that attitude anymore |
| 00:53 - 00:58 | (If you support Trump, please leave the movement) |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | You're sellouts |
| 01:15 - 01:17 | You're the fifth column within Objectivism. |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | You are what will destroy Objectivism |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | and ultimately it will be on you if America declines |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | if America disappears |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | if America succumbs to either |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | the wackos of the left |
| 01:37 - 01:40 | or the wackos of the right |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | Some conservatives support freedom |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | "Everybody's an enemy" |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | We can't write off 100% of voters |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | ARI is the only voice of sanity in the world right now |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | and I don't say that lightly |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | I'm looking, I'm searching. |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | There's the libertarians |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | but they are empty and their battle is futile |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | because they refuse to make the philosophical case |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | they purposefully evade the philosophical case |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | so there's nobody else out there. |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | There's us and that's it. (I hope that doesn't me sound like Stalin) |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | So, don't view the enemy as an ally |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | because you hate the left more |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | Even if you hate the left more |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | You've got to hate the right as well |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | Only when you hate them both |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | And I'm not saying to hate them equally |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | But hate them both |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | I hate them equally |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | I hate the right more in many respects |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | (He just misses being able to focus on art) |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | but it might be too late |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | we might've lost |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | because we have |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | so few allies |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | and even the people who claim to be on our side |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | are not |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | (maybe I can get back to my art then) |
