 one. For those that may have somewhat lost sight of the distinction between opposing the Democrats and supporting Trump, yes, I am shamefully guilty of this. Do you have any specific objective reading suggestions from Trump detox? I mean, go back and listen to all my shows during the during the Trump presidency. I would go back and read Ayn Rand's writing from the 1960s and 70s. So read her essays on politics, read her approach to politics, how she dealt with ideas. I mean, most of the time she criticized the left, but how she criticized the left? In what way she did it? The kind of argument she made. And then look at how she criticized, for example, JFK for his pragmatism. And then think about to what extent was Trump even more pragmatic than JFK? What would she have thought of Trump if he was more pragmatic than JFK? If she had such a low view of pragmatism when it came to JFK, what would a view of pragmatism be when it came to Trump who was much more of a pragmatist? Read Ayn Rand's political analysis from the 60s, and you can find that in collections in the voice of reason, in a philosophy who needs it, and then in those big news letter, the objectivist, the Ayn Rand letter, that you can still buy, right? So, I mean, yeah, think about the fact, read what Ayn Rand had to say about why she wasn't voting for Ronald Reagan. The fascist new frontier, that's a good one, where she talks about, and she talks about why it's fascism. It's not really socialism, communism that we're heading towards. It's fascism. But, you know, read why she didn't vote for Reagan. Why is she kind of like Ford, even though Ford was a, I mean, it was like a Republican Biden. Ford was a Republican Biden, I think. He was a middle-of-the-road. He wasn't particularly conservative. He was a compromiser, but a decent man who was, spent his life in politics, who was governing from the middle, and was generally, you know, anti-government involvement. And he was not a religious, he wasn't super religious, and that's what she liked about him, vis-a-vis Republican. So, read Ayn Rand. That's, that was, that's the best detox I can think of in terms of detoxing from, from Trump. What we need today, what I called a new intellectual, would be any man or woman who is willing to think. Meaning, any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, whims or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of the stare, cynicism, and impotence, and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist.
