 But I want to talk about the State of the Union, only because it's the State of the Union today. And you know, and you got to talk about what's going on in the world. And I'm not going to watch it, as I said. I'll maybe read it afterwards, but it's super boring. And if you read it, you can skip forward. And if you read it, you don't have to listen to Joe Biden's boring, dull, you know, morally pretentious, you know, voice, saying all these things. This is the State of the Union in basically 30 seconds. But this is going to be the whole hour plus of his talk. It's going to be this. It's going to be this. There are people out there in America who are needy, who are suffering. They are real problems that are needy and suffering. The government will solve this by taking from some people, regulating some people, controlling some people, violating the rights of some people and fix the problem by doing that. And next year, in the State of the Union address, I promise, I promise, that there will be new needy people for which the government will have to do a bunch of other rights violations in order to fix their problems. And of course, I don't guarantee that the existing needy people won't be needy people in a year for now. It might be that these programs are just not enough and we will have to do even more. So that's basically the whole speech. Basically the whole, oh, oh, there's one or two additional caveats. The planet is needy. We're going to destroy the planet. It's all going to die. Everything's going to die. We're heating it up. So the government is going to have to regulate and tax and control and violate a bunch of people's rights in order to make the planet whole. Oh, and there is this thing going on in Ukraine and Putin is a very bad man. And the government is going to have to do all these things and one of the things we're going to have to do in order to reduce Putin's power in the world is build lots and lots and lots of windmills, of windmills. And windmills will protect us from Putin. Windmills will protect us from the bad guys. Windmills would make the world safe for us to take from those who have and give to those who don't. And in the meantime, we're going to help everybody and there's no limit how much we can help and we're just going to help everybody. We're going to give and help and contribute and donate and so on. So yeah, that's State of the Union. What else do they say? What have substance? What substance they have beyond that? Do you hear all the problems? Here's all the things we're going to do to grow government to take care of those problems. That is it. That is your State of the Union. Now, what would I do in a State of the Union? You know, it would be short, 15, 20 minutes max. It would be focused on what I think the role of the president right now, the only role of the president right now should be. And that is to shrink government involvement in our lives as much as possible, as fast as possible. So for example, in the context of Ukraine, I would declare that the United States is not going to place and is not going to solve the problem with Ukraine by placing an oil embargo on Russia, but it's going to solve the problem by dramatically expanding production in the United States by lifting all restrictions on fracking, all restrictions on production, all restrictions, all not in my backyard and building refineries, all restrictions on drilling, all restrictions on energy production in the United States are going to be lifted. And then the market will produce as much as the market produces. Second, I would submit tomorrow to Congress a bill that would completely eliminate the Jones Act once and for all, wipe it out of existence, eliminate every aspect, every section, every subsection of the Jones Act would be eliminated so that ships, anybody's ship, who cares whose ship, can actually transfer oil from US ports like Houston and Baltimore, oil and LNG, liquidified natural gas, to any ports in the United States that needs it. So Jones Act is gone within hours of my state of the union. And then I would propose, you know, my three massive bills, three massive bills, the Liberate American Business Act, which would basically eliminate the corporate tax, it would reduce, it would put in a regime that reduced regulation by X percent every year so that within the eight years, there would be no regulations on business. That would include the privatization of the banking system. Yes, privatizing the banking system because today they'll basically run by the government. Eliminating all, all subsidies from business, all subsidies, zero them out and slowly phase out all regulations. So this would be a massive bill which would have the entire plan laid out, laid out. Yeah, and then, you know, I'd offer a bill to reform entitlements. I would, and I would offer my proposals to dramatically start shrinking all government expenses so that we had a surplus within four years. Thank you for listening or watching the Iran Book Show.
