John is confused. The first amendment is for Americans not foreign nationals and their intelligence agencies. Look at how effective television stations and radio were in Romania. It is the responsibility of American Society to protect its under age people foreign influence. As John says, Americans have the right to form their own associations and to have their own freedom of speech. That does not mean that nationals deserve to co-opt, coerce and conceal through business entities.

Big John Cochrane fan, glad to see the vibrant debate, but tend to disagree with him on TikTok. John focused primarily on one direction of data from the US to China. I'm far more concerned with the other direction i.e. China mass spamming links to the useful idiots of our society to contact their government representatives re policy petitions. They already showed us an example of this tool with the attempt to prevent the legislation. Imagine a Taiwan blockade scenario where every phone with TikTok in the US got a notification to sign a non-intervention petition for their congress rep or senator.

In 2011 I was in Sderot, Israel standing on a berm over Hwy 34 looking into Gaza... I'm former U.S. Marine and all I could think was... "All there is between Gaza and Sderot is a fence some 2500' away from the berm where I'm standing?" Then I thought the Israeli's must have a handle on this area being this close to Gaza... then I awoke the morning of October 7th! One of my history professors said in class once..."The longer you fight an enemy the more you become like your enemy and that goes for your enemy too!"
@richarddean315418 күн бұрын
A large contributor to Israel's vulnerability on October 7th was mirror imaging - Israel looked out upon the wider world and thought that she saw enemies who were just as war-weary and ready for peace and that antisemitism was waning. Israel is in a unique position in that its enemies will never lose interest in fighting until they themselves are deceased. Great content.

Dr. Cochrane’s refusal to acknowledge the legitimacy of any concerns that may run counter to pure free market doctrine is honestly getting frustrating.

The segment concerning the student disruption in support of Hamas...Bill Whelan introduced the segment by saying that these present students "had no skin in the game" unlike the student protests of the Vietnam era. The students of that time ('60s early '70s), of which I was one, all had 'student deferments'. The students of that era, the "New Left" had little-to-none "skin in the game". The Vietnam war was fought by those who did NOT go to college, who did NOT have student deferments, the unacknowledged poor whites and poor blacks of that time. There is a direct line from the divisions of that era to our present moment...I have the impression from the discussion that even these guys on Good Fellows have no clue as to the reality of what that era really was like.

Watching this with keen interest from Australia. We have our local version of this activism to deal with. At some point, national (& global) security should be the main concern, based on the 'precautionary principle'. Deciding where that boundary should be looks like a bit of a highwire act. It's not a stretch to say that this activism supports the strategy of undermining U.S. support for Israel... while also not coming down too heavily on these students - then playing into the propaganda (just read some of the comments here) about how the US silences dissent.

John is amazing but I feel TikTok equating free speech essentially means free speech for 'xi jinping thought'. I wasn't aware the Constitution provided free speech for all people in all countries including dictators who apparently hate functioning peace because of a loose connection to imperialism. Also he argues that Americans are intelligent enough to make the correct choices. Which is fine but why make finding the right choice difficult? There's enough noise and difficult choices as it is.
