Hi Andrew,
As a pro-life Catholic, I thought the Supreme Court ruling on Roe vs Wade was an answer to prayer. But with the Kansas vote, I fear we are lost as a nation and there is no turning back. What do you think?

Hi Andrew,
I've got a big picture question for you. I read recently about a study that claimed that about three quarters of people do not have an "inner voice" where they discuss things with themselves and that they do no have an internal ability to visualise things. These people were claimed to be like video game "non playable characters", or NPCs, who slavishly follow some predetermined script.
Now I found the study itself to be highly dubious, but it did remind me that when it comes to big social and political issues, such as covid restrictions and climate change, I've met a lot of NPCs in my time. Logic, data, and careful reasoning cannot penetrate the NPC shield that they've erected. So until there is a newly accepted "thing", they're stuck. You and Mark are in the mass persuasion biz. What works best in getting a critical mass of acceptance among the "sheepdogs" so that the NPCs can follow in a new direction? I doubt that fear and loathing can last for very long. Is it getting the right people to laugh at the right thing?

What are your thoughts on Nancy Pelosi's trip to Taiwan this week? American power has been in a fairly obvious relative decline since the end of the cold War. We in the US reduced our military while China and Russia have been working to catch up with ours, not to mention that China has about a billion bodies to spare and nuclear weapons. Why is it our political class continue to walk and talk like it's 1991 when they, of all people, should have the least illusions about our capabilities in the event world War three begins?

I think the ChiComs are going to invade Taiwan in October but perhaps only Quemoy and Matsu. There is a confluence of events. The weather is good in October, the CCP 20th Congress is in November and Xi wants to be named Chairman for Life. China is a complex country with other political power centers outside of Peking such as Shanghai that may not want to go along. I've thought that declaring oneself leader for life is a sign of weakness. Lastly, the CCP has bought Biden and the Congress and they really can't count on either being around after November. October is their window of opportunity.
Will our vaunted Canadian ally support Taiwan by opening a second front against the ChiComs by attempting to liberate Vancouver, BC?

Hello Andrew
Hope you're well.
It's now increasingly clear that virtually every government assurance and mandate regarding Covid-19 and the injections the past two and a half years was false. And even dangerously, even lethally, false.
These falsehoods included claims about the "safety and efficacy" of the injections, the prophylactic powers of two cent paper Chinese masks, the net value of lockdowns and two cent paper masks, etc.
So one of my questions is:
That you know of, is there any realistic legal recourse in either Canada, the UK, the United States, or anywhere, for citizens to receive compensation for damages caused by government bureaucracies which were, at best, utterly derelict in their public health duties, and at worse (as we are now discovering), knowingly mendacious, and even quietly receiving compensation from pharmaceutical companies to speak and act in ways that benefitted those companies, at citizens' expense?

Hi Andrew -
China is now saying they will stop discussing climate change and anti-drug efforts with the US because of Pelosi's visit to Tawain. Will the climate zealots double down on their efforts for the US to save the planet even though China is one of the biggest polluters? How will we stop the flow of fentanyl into the US which is causing overdoses? They are putting us where they want us without talking to us. No effort, all results.

Please disregard my previous question for this edited version, as I became incensed writing the first one and made several mistakes.
Dear Mark,
Let me tell you all the story of how we got to Texas from Kiev.
On February 24th, we left Kiev and stayed at our summer house until mid-March. From there, we drove to Laren, Holland via Lvov and Linz. All-in-all, it was a week-long journey.
But that was the easy part! Our next several months were bureaucratic and transportation hell courtesy of the US State Department and the German rail system.
For my wife to get a green card, we had to go to Frankfurt two separate times. No, you can't submit an application and do the interview with the person to whom you gave it. That's too simple for the bloody state department. You have to make two journeys so you can meet a different bureaucrat.
And in the end, they couldn't be bothered to send my wife's passport by mail. We had to go to Frankfurt a third damned time to pick the thing up from the lazy and incompetent bastards.
Also, you're right about what you say regarding service employees. No Germans work as waiters. Instead, it's Muslims and Slavs catering to German geriatrics
The only German I met who did any actual work at a restaurant barked at me for not wearing a mask like he was some SS panzer commander on the Eastern Front. "Wear your mask!!!" he roared. "That's an order from the authorities!!!" To which I replied, "Of course. Germans never question orders, do they?" That put some color in his pasty Kraut face.
When the time came to go to the US, we flew out of Frankfurt because the Amsterdam airport can't get flights out on schedule, thanks to the Chi-Com virus. To get from Laren to Frankfurt by train, we had to switch trains five times because of constant cancellations and breakdowns. The pleasant young Turkish woman we teamed up with to get to Frankfurt said the German rail service is crap even in the best of times. I guess the Germans can only run the trains on time when they're genocidal.
And in the end, some bloody German Lufthansa desk clerk tried to refuse us entry to the terminal because we are the dirty unwashed unvaccinated.
Getting from Laren to Frankfurt was more difficult than getting out of Kiev on invasion day or driving across Europe.
Why? Because nothing works anymore. The "experts" screwed it up with their lockdowns. I look forward to the day Russia incinerates Washington, Londonstan, and Brussels. Time to

(For today's Q&A) I'm pretty upset about the tax code sneaking through Congress. Biden promised not to tax those of us earning under $400k (and small business and now he's doing both). Moreover, there are "riders" taxing corporate buybacks and other shareholder-friendly moves I won't bore you with. The bottom line is that I am about to warn my children and grand kids (who mostly voted for Biden) that I will now have to cut off their generous birthday and Christmas cash gifts due to rising taxes. Think they'll catch the cause-and-effect logic?

Hi Mark, Hi Andrew,
First of all, thank you for including the date in your time-recitation at the start of your Q&As. Mark remarked a week ago that I am probably the only person on the planet who values this little piece of extra information, but I do, and am grateful.
Once again, my question is not a question, it is a request!
Can you PLEASE invite energy expert and philosopher Alex Epstein on your show to talk about the anti-human madness that is the Zero-Carbon fantasy. No-one is more articulate than Epstein in explaining how the fossil fuels, which the hated CO2 generate as a mere side effect, are probably the single greatest boon for mankind in all history.
In no other field of study, do researchers concentrate exclusively on a negative side-effect of a phenomenon to the complete exclusion of all positive aspects. It is like curing the curse of sudden hair-loss by banning life-saving chemotherapy.
UK audiences in particular need, for their own sakes to get to know Mr Epstein, and your fabulous, ground-breaking show is no better vehicle.
He has written two mind-blowing books, "The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels" and just this year "Fossil Future".
You can reach him at [email protected] or on Twitter at @AlexEpstein.
Looking forward to your interview!

Have you heard any news at all about the gender/sex ratio of the KS vote? This would seem, er, an extremely important and practically obligatory fact, but I haven't seen any signs of it at all. My only guess is that the male/female ratio isn't as lopsided as one is prompted to believe. What other cause can you guess?
