It's been some type of day, guys, because on June 30th, the day, guys, because on June 30th, the day, guys, because on June 30th, the Supreme Court closed out its term with Supreme Court closed out its term with Supreme Court closed out its term with two six-3 rulings on opposite ends of two six-3 rulings on opposite ends of two six-3 rulings on opposite ends of the culture war. the culture war. the culture war. As I choked to death, uh, apparently As I choked to death, uh, apparently As I choked to death, uh, apparently over transgender athletes, here we go. over transgender athletes, here we go. over transgender athletes, here we go. The court upheld laws in Idaho and West The court upheld laws in Idaho and West The court upheld laws in Idaho and West Virginia requiring students to compete Virginia requiring students to compete Virginia requiring students to compete on teams matching their biological sex. on teams matching their biological sex. on teams matching their biological sex. The justices ruled that those bans do The justices ruled that those bans do The justices ruled that those bans do not violate either Title 9 or the not violate either Title 9 or the not violate either Title 9 or the Constitution's equal protection clause. Constitution's equal protection clause. Constitution's equal protection clause. The decision validates similar laws The decision validates similar laws The decision validates similar laws across 27 states. The majority leaned in across 27 states. The majority leaned in across 27 states. The majority leaned in on competitive fairness and safety, on competitive fairness and safety, on competitive fairness and safety, which I think is very wise. The three which I think is very wise. The three which I think is very wise. The three liberal justices, as you would imagine, liberal justices, as you would imagine, liberal justices, as you would imagine, they dissented, and I really do despise they dissented, and I really do despise they dissented, and I really do despise how often things break along party how often things break along party how often things break along party lines, but hey, we are where we are. Uh lines, but hey, we are where we are. Uh lines, but hey, we are where we are. Uh the argument of the dissenting liberal the argument of the dissenting liberal the argument of the dissenting liberal justices was that the ban swept too justices was that the ban swept too justices was that the ban swept too broadly by covering trans girls who broadly by covering trans girls who broadly by covering trans girls who never went through male puberty. So never went through male puberty. So never went through male puberty. So trying to get very specific about the trying to get very specific about the trying to get very specific about the different um physiological impacts of different um physiological impacts of different um physiological impacts of whether you've had puberty blockers or whether you've had puberty blockers or whether you've had puberty blockers or not, which by the way, puberty blockers, not, which by the way, puberty blockers, not, which by the way, puberty blockers, holy Jesus. Uh that one is bad news holy Jesus. Uh that one is bad news holy Jesus. Uh that one is bad news bears, but we can debate that later. bears, but we can debate that later. bears, but we can debate that later. Clarence Thomas uh put it pretty bluntly Clarence Thomas uh put it pretty bluntly Clarence Thomas uh put it pretty bluntly in the majority opinion when he said men in the majority opinion when he said men in the majority opinion when he said men and boys with gender dysphoria are not and boys with gender dysphoria are not and boys with gender dysphoria are not women or girls even if they believe that women or girls even if they believe that women or girls even if they believe that they are. Uh and so this is the first they are. Uh and so this is the first they are. Uh and so this is the first time that we're really hearing that time that we're really hearing that time that we're really hearing that message be put out um by the court. So I message be put out um by the court. So I message be put out um by the court. So I think it's pretty interesting and think it's pretty interesting and think it's pretty interesting and certainly brings the debate that's going certainly brings the debate that's going certainly brings the debate that's going around culture to a head and I think around culture to a head and I think around culture to a head and I think that's where a lot of this debate is that's where a lot of this debate is that's where a lot of this debate is going to live. To me, the thing that is going to live. To me, the thing that is going to live. To me, the thing that is um a big part of what's going to need to um a big part of what's going to need to um a big part of what's going to need to be debated is where that collision be debated is where that collision be debated is where that collision between the majority opinion and the between the majority opinion and the between the majority opinion and the dissenting opinion lie, where you've got dissenting opinion lie, where you've got dissenting opinion lie, where you've got one side that's saying, "Listen, one side that's saying, "Listen, one side that's saying, "Listen, biological reality has to be addressed." biological reality has to be addressed." biological reality has to be addressed." and you've got the other side trying to and you've got the other side trying to and you've got the other side trying to um have the debate at a similar um have the debate at a similar um have the debate at a similar biological level, but they're saying the biological level, but they're saying the biological level, but they're saying the very things that you're worried about very things that you're worried about very things that you're worried about protecting against um are you're not protecting against um are you're not protecting against um are you're not being um realistic about the difference being um realistic about the difference being um realistic about the difference in biology of somebody that went through in biology of somebody that went through in biology of somebody that went through puberty and only then transitions later puberty and only then transitions later puberty and only then transitions later versus somebody that has not gone versus somebody that has not gone versus somebody that has not gone through puberty yet. Uh full stop. Now, through puberty yet. Uh full stop. Now, through puberty yet. Uh full stop. Now, that I think needs to be circled for a that I think needs to be circled for a that I think needs to be circled for a totally different reason, which is totally different reason, which is totally different reason, which is should we be allowing people to use should we be allowing people to use should we be allowing people to use puberty blockers um based on puberty blockers um based on puberty blockers um based on self-identification self-identification self-identification as being transgender, which is something as being transgender, which is something as being transgender, which is something that the data indicates will change over that the data indicates will change over that the data indicates will change over time if left quote unquote untreated. time if left quote unquote untreated. time if left quote unquote untreated. So, I don't think that we're going to be So, I don't think that we're going to be So, I don't think that we're going to be able to get to the point where we have a able to get to the point where we have a able to get to the point where we have a debate about, okay, what does it really debate about, okay, what does it really debate about, okay, what does it really mean? If you've taken puberty blockers, mean? If you've taken puberty blockers, mean? If you've taken puberty blockers, you've never gone through puberty in you've never gone through puberty in you've never gone through puberty in terms of the biological differences uh terms of the biological differences uh terms of the biological differences uh until we first have the debate of until we first have the debate of until we first have the debate of whether or not we should even be whether or not we should even be whether or not we should even be allowing children to make that decision allowing children to make that decision allowing children to make that decision for themselves. Because remember, even a for themselves. Because remember, even a for themselves. Because remember, even a parent who's going to bat for their kid parent who's going to bat for their kid parent who's going to bat for their kid is going to bat for their kid on the is going to bat for their kid on the is going to bat for their kid on the back of that child, being able to back of that child, being able to back of that child, being able to accurately uh identify that they really accurately uh identify that they really accurately uh identify that they really do have um a what has historically been do have um a what has historically been do have um a what has historically been a hyper rare condition. Um, and that the a hyper rare condition. Um, and that the a hyper rare condition. Um, and that the more more more likely just numerically likely just numerically likely just numerically uh is that they're getting caught up in uh is that they're getting caught up in uh is that they're getting caught up in a psychological contagion that will pass a psychological contagion that will pass a psychological contagion that will pass over time. Uh, so often I forget what over time. Uh, so often I forget what over time. Uh, so often I forget what the exact stats are, but so often what the exact stats are, but so often what the exact stats are, but so often what ends up happening to kids that are ends up happening to kids that are ends up happening to kids that are claiming gender dysphoria when they're claiming gender dysphoria when they're claiming gender dysphoria when they're young, uh, if they don't end up young, uh, if they don't end up young, uh, if they don't end up encountering puberty blockers, they go encountering puberty blockers, they go encountering puberty blockers, they go on to be oftentimes homosexual. And so, on to be oftentimes homosexual. And so, on to be oftentimes homosexual. And so, um, whether we want kids to be able to um, whether we want kids to be able to um, whether we want kids to be able to make that determination for themselves make that determination for themselves make that determination for themselves before they go through puberty, I think before they go through puberty, I think before they go through puberty, I think is the real question. Uh, and for me, is the real question. Uh, and for me, is the real question. Uh, and for me, the answer there is obviously not. For the answer there is obviously not. For the answer there is obviously not. For the same reason that we wouldn't let a the same reason that we wouldn't let a the same reason that we wouldn't let a kid drink when they're underage because kid drink when they're underage because kid drink when they're underage because we don't think that they'll make the we don't think that they'll make the we don't think that they'll make the right decisions. The same reason that we right decisions. The same reason that we right decisions. The same reason that we protect kids from um being sexually protect kids from um being sexually protect kids from um being sexually prayed upon by older people because prayed upon by older people because prayed upon by older people because there's an intellectual uh power dynamic there's an intellectual uh power dynamic there's an intellectual uh power dynamic at play. somebody that's older is just at play. somebody that's older is just at play. somebody that's older is just more able to manipulate kids. And so in more able to manipulate kids. And so in more able to manipulate kids. And so in all these other areas, we're very all these other areas, we're very all these other areas, we're very cleareyed about how kids end up getting cleareyed about how kids end up getting cleareyed about how kids end up getting manipulated, but somehow on this one, we manipulated, but somehow on this one, we manipulated, but somehow on this one, we are not. And whether that's manipulated are not. And whether that's manipulated are not. And whether that's manipulated by their friends and the social by their friends and the social by their friends and the social contagion is something that's very well contagion is something that's very well contagion is something that's very well doumented or they're being groomed doumented or they're being groomed doumented or they're being groomed unintentionally even by well-meaning unintentionally even by well-meaning unintentionally even by well-meaning parents or um they're being um parents or um they're being um parents or um they're being um manipulated by parents that aren't manipulated by parents that aren't manipulated by parents that aren't well-intentioned that are using it as a well-intentioned that are using it as a well-intentioned that are using it as a status symbol. So there's all kinds of status symbol. So there's all kinds of status symbol. So there's all kinds of things there that I think are going to things there that I think are going to things there that I think are going to have to be adjudicated uh before we get have to be adjudicated uh before we get have to be adjudicated uh before we get to what the dissenting opinion is trying to what the dissenting opinion is trying to what the dissenting opinion is trying to cover. Uh because there may really be to cover. Uh because there may really be to cover. Uh because there may really be something there. there there almost something there. there there almost something there. there there almost certainly is a profound biological certainly is a profound biological certainly is a profound biological difference in terms of muscle mass and difference in terms of muscle mass and difference in terms of muscle mass and things like that between somebody that things like that between somebody that things like that between somebody that took puberty blockers and somebody that took puberty blockers and somebody that took puberty blockers and somebody that didn't. Um testosterone as a hormone in didn't. Um testosterone as a hormone in didn't. Um testosterone as a hormone in terms of its uh impacts on strength are terms of its uh impacts on strength are terms of its uh impacts on strength are are pretty well documented. They are are pretty well documented. They are are pretty well documented. They are very [clears throat] large. So yeah, I very [clears throat] large. So yeah, I very [clears throat] large. So yeah, I would not expect that to come up with oh would not expect that to come up with oh would not expect that to come up with oh well there's really no difference and well there's really no difference and well there's really no difference and it's the same. a biological male that it's the same. a biological male that it's the same. a biological male that blocks puberty is going to be very blocks puberty is going to be very blocks puberty is going to be very different than a biological male that different than a biological male that different than a biological male that actually goes through puberty normally. actually goes through puberty normally. actually goes through puberty normally. Um so that one becomes a question of Um so that one becomes a question of Um so that one becomes a question of ought I think more than I'm spending our ought I think more than I'm spending our ought I think more than I'm spending our time right now getting into the debate time right now getting into the debate time right now getting into the debate of is on the biology there. All right. of is on the biology there. All right. of is on the biology there. All right. Uh ultimately the court kept it narrow. Uh ultimately the court kept it narrow. Uh ultimately the court kept it narrow. The ruling applies to school sports. The ruling applies to school sports. The ruling applies to school sports. Also this is at a state level. Let's Also this is at a state level. Let's Also this is at a state level. Let's keep that in mind. That's something that keep that in mind. That's something that keep that in mind. That's something that often gets missed in these rulings um by often gets missed in these rulings um by often gets missed in these rulings um by the Supreme Court is um they're not the Supreme Court is um they're not the Supreme Court is um they're not saying it must be this way. They are saying it must be this way. They are saying it must be this way. They are saying that the states have the ability saying that the states have the ability saying that the states have the ability to choose for themselves. Um so it does to choose for themselves. Um so it does to choose for themselves. Um so it does not settle bathrooms, ID documents or not settle bathrooms, ID documents or not settle bathrooms, ID documents or grade uh school teams. So keep that in grade uh school teams. So keep that in grade uh school teams. So keep that in mind. All right. The second issue that mind. All right. The second issue that mind. All right. The second issue that the Supreme Court has ruled on is money the Supreme Court has ruled on is money the Supreme Court has ruled on is money in politics. And the Supreme Court ruled in politics. And the Supreme Court ruled in politics. And the Supreme Court ruled that it is a violation of the first that it is a violation of the first that it is a violation of the first amendment to stop political parties from amendment to stop political parties from amendment to stop political parties from raising money from wealthy donors and raising money from wealthy donors and raising money from wealthy donors and then coordinating that spend on a then coordinating that spend on a then coordinating that spend on a specific candidate. So we know that specific candidate. So we know that specific candidate. So we know that there are limits on the amount that one there are limits on the amount that one there are limits on the amount that one person can donate directly to a person can donate directly to a person can donate directly to a candidate. uh Citizens United gave candidate. uh Citizens United gave candidate. uh Citizens United gave people a way around that and then they people a way around that and then they people a way around that and then they were trying to tighten this even further were trying to tighten this even further were trying to tighten this even further by limiting the party's ability to go by limiting the party's ability to go by limiting the party's ability to go and raise money from donors and then and raise money from donors and then and raise money from donors and then apply it with like sort of the wink wink apply it with like sort of the wink wink apply it with like sort of the wink wink nudge nudge of like I'm giving you this nudge nudge of like I'm giving you this nudge nudge of like I'm giving you this money not generally for you to dedicate money not generally for you to dedicate money not generally for you to dedicate this to whoever you want but I want you this to whoever you want but I want you this to whoever you want but I want you to be applying this to the very specific to be applying this to the very specific to be applying this to the very specific candidate that I want to see get backed. candidate that I want to see get backed. candidate that I want to see get backed. Uh and so that has ended up passing. And Uh and so that has ended up passing. And Uh and so that has ended up passing. And this one gets big lamentations for me as this one gets big lamentations for me as this one gets big lamentations for me as uh when people are lamenting um the uh when people are lamenting um the uh when people are lamenting um the billionaire class as they will call it. billionaire class as they will call it. billionaire class as they will call it. I certainly understand money and I certainly understand money and I certainly understand money and politics being a wild problem. And so politics being a wild problem. And so politics being a wild problem. And so anything that we can do to begin to uh anything that we can do to begin to uh anything that we can do to begin to uh peel money out of politics, I think is peel money out of politics, I think is peel money out of politics, I think is going to be a very good thing. going to be a very good thing. going to be a very good thing. Otherwise, there's always going to be Otherwise, there's always going to be Otherwise, there's always going to be outsiz influence from people uh that can outsiz influence from people uh that can outsiz influence from people uh that can um splash money around. So, yeah, this um splash money around. So, yeah, this um splash money around. So, yeah, this one I don't love, but it is what it is. one I don't love, but it is what it is. one I don't love, but it is what it is. Uh and then third, this one has the Uh and then third, this one has the Uh and then third, this one has the right just an absolute apoplelectic fit right just an absolute apoplelectic fit right just an absolute apoplelectic fit is birthright citizenship. Here, the is birthright citizenship. Here, the is birthright citizenship. Here, the court went against the Trump court went against the Trump court went against the Trump administration. And so I think is a administration. And so I think is a administration. And so I think is a pretty big um knock against people who pretty big um knock against people who pretty big um knock against people who say that the Supreme Court is just say that the Supreme Court is just say that the Supreme Court is just rubber stamping everything that Trump is rubber stamping everything that Trump is rubber stamping everything that Trump is doing. This is one of Trump's signature doing. This is one of Trump's signature doing. This is one of Trump's signature issues. This is something that he was on issues. This is something that he was on issues. This is something that he was on from day one of his presidency with an from day one of his presidency with an from day one of his presidency with an executive order that this essentially executive order that this essentially executive order that this essentially strikes that down. Um and that his order strikes that down. Um and that his order strikes that down. Um and that his order was trying to deny citizenship to babies was trying to deny citizenship to babies was trying to deny citizenship to babies that are born in the US to undocumented that are born in the US to undocumented that are born in the US to undocumented parents or on temporary visas. parents or on temporary visas. parents or on temporary visas. and Chief Justice Roberts wrote the and Chief Justice Roberts wrote the and Chief Justice Roberts wrote the majority opinion. He grounded it in the majority opinion. He grounded it in the majority opinion. He grounded it in the 14th amendment and the 1898 Wong Kim Arc 14th amendment and the 1898 Wong Kim Arc 14th amendment and the 1898 Wong Kim Arc president uh and the three conservative president uh and the three conservative president uh and the three conservative justices dissented. Now, this one is um justices dissented. Now, this one is um justices dissented. Now, this one is um this one gets interesting at the level this one gets interesting at the level this one gets interesting at the level of the dissenting opinion. But one thing of the dissenting opinion. But one thing of the dissenting opinion. But one thing that uh we're going to play a clip from that uh we're going to play a clip from that uh we're going to play a clip from Clarence Thomas in a second, but one Clarence Thomas in a second, but one Clarence Thomas in a second, but one thing that I thought was pretty thing that I thought was pretty thing that I thought was pretty interesting is people that are talking interesting is people that are talking interesting is people that are talking about the 14th Amendment, the actual about the 14th Amendment, the actual about the 14th Amendment, the actual author of the 14th Amendment author of the 14th Amendment author of the 14th Amendment specifically wrote um that this did not specifically wrote um that this did not specifically wrote um that this did not apply to foreigners, which is pretty apply to foreigners, which is pretty apply to foreigners, which is pretty wild that that's being ignored as people wild that that's being ignored as people wild that that's being ignored as people then um talk about this applying to the then um talk about this applying to the then um talk about this applying to the 14th Amendment. So um that was pretty 14th Amendment. So um that was pretty 14th Amendment. So um that was pretty interesting. I think it's pretty clear interesting. I think it's pretty clear interesting. I think it's pretty clear that the 14th amendment was meant to that the 14th amendment was meant to that the 14th amendment was meant to address slaves that were born here but address slaves that were born here but address slaves that were born here but had previously not been recognized as had previously not been recognized as had previously not been recognized as citizens. Uh and so now when the author citizens. Uh and so now when the author citizens. Uh and so now when the author of that is telling you, hey, this is not of that is telling you, hey, this is not of that is telling you, hey, this is not meant to apply to foreigners. I think he meant to apply to foreigners. I think he meant to apply to foreigners. I think he even says something like obviously this even says something like obviously this even says something like obviously this isn't meant to apply to foreigners, isn't meant to apply to foreigners, isn't meant to apply to foreigners, though that could be commentary on my though that could be commentary on my though that could be commentary on my part. I don't remember it clearly part. I don't remember it clearly part. I don't remember it clearly enough. Um so that's pretty interesting enough. Um so that's pretty interesting enough. Um so that's pretty interesting that the court is ignoring that. All that the court is ignoring that. All that the court is ignoring that. All right. I think Clarence Thomas summed it right. I think Clarence Thomas summed it right. I think Clarence Thomas summed it up pretty well. Uh so let's play his uh up pretty well. Uh so let's play his uh up pretty well. Uh so let's play his uh clip here from the dissenting voice. clip here from the dissenting voice. clip here from the dissenting voice. >> Progressivism seeks to replace the basic >> Progressivism seeks to replace the basic >> Progressivism seeks to replace the basic premises of the Declaration of premises of the Declaration of premises of the Declaration of Independence and hence our form of Independence and hence our form of Independence and hence our form of government.

We've talked a lot about it on the show We've talked a lot about it on the show We've talked a lot about it on the show here. So I am not Christian but I am here. So I am not Christian but I am here. So I am not Christian but I am grateful to live in a nation that has grateful to live in a nation that has grateful to live in a nation that has been shaped by the idea that every human been shaped by the idea that every human been shaped by the idea that every human being is holds a spark of divinity being is holds a spark of divinity being is holds a spark of divinity within themselves that they are created within themselves that they are created within themselves that they are created in the image of God. Now I don't believe in the image of God. Now I don't believe in the image of God. Now I don't believe any of that. I think it's mythology but any of that. I think it's mythology but any of that. I think it's mythology but I think it's incredibly potent mythology I think it's incredibly potent mythology I think it's incredibly potent mythology that plays out very well at the that plays out very well at the that plays out very well at the civilizational level. And along with civilizational level. And along with civilizational level. And along with that there there's a real dividing line. that there there's a real dividing line. that there there's a real dividing line. There's a real reason why socialists and There's a real reason why socialists and There's a real reason why socialists and communists are always going to be communists are always going to be communists are always going to be literally godless. literally godless. literally godless. in that when you have that that sense in that when you have that that sense in that when you have that that sense that the individual is divinely created, that the individual is divinely created, that the individual is divinely created, you run into something that supersedes you run into something that supersedes you run into something that supersedes the government. And when you're going to the government. And when you're going to the government. And when you're going to be in the game of confiscating the means be in the game of confiscating the means be in the game of confiscating the means of production, confiscating people's of production, confiscating people's of production, confiscating people's wealth, you can't have anything above wealth, you can't have anything above wealth, you can't have anything above the state. And what we're watching play the state. And what we're watching play the state. And what we're watching play out right now, and it's going to be one out right now, and it's going to be one out right now, and it's going to be one of the most like important. You want to of the most like important. You want to of the most like important. You want to talk about culture wars. This one is the talk about culture wars. This one is the talk about culture wars. This one is the culture war to end all culture wars, culture war to end all culture wars, culture war to end all culture wars, which is should we be appealing to the which is should we be appealing to the which is should we be appealing to the state for everything, or should we be state for everything, or should we be state for everything, or should we be turning to the individual and then turning to the individual and then turning to the individual and then keeping the state as small as we can? keeping the state as small as we can? keeping the state as small as we can? So, are we playing a game of freedom and So, are we playing a game of freedom and So, are we playing a game of freedom and liberty, the very things that the liberty, the very things that the liberty, the very things that the country was founded on, the very things country was founded on, the very things country was founded on, the very things that our forefathers fought and died that our forefathers fought and died that our forefathers fought and died for? Is this a game of freedom anymore? for? Is this a game of freedom anymore? for? Is this a game of freedom anymore? or are we saying no no no no we need the or are we saying no no no no we need the or are we saying no no no no we need the state to step in and take care of state to step in and take care of state to step in and take care of everything. And so for him to really everything. And so for him to really everything. And so for him to really point at um we need to be very very point at um we need to be very very point at um we need to be very very careful because the thing that is careful because the thing that is careful because the thing that is driving people to vote for birthright driving people to vote for birthright driving people to vote for birthright citizenship is this idea that anybody citizenship is this idea that anybody citizenship is this idea that anybody anywhere has a right to come to the anywhere has a right to come to the anywhere has a right to come to the richest nation in the world with this richest nation in the world with this richest nation in the world with this total blind uh complete lack of total blind uh complete lack of total blind uh complete lack of awareness of how we became the awareness of how we became the awareness of how we became the wealthiest country on earth. because we wealthiest country on earth. because we wealthiest country on earth. because we certainly did not become the wealthiest certainly did not become the wealthiest certainly did not become the wealthiest country on earth by um socialist means country on earth by um socialist means country on earth by um socialist means of trying to spread the wealth to of trying to spread the wealth to of trying to spread the wealth to everybody to make sure that the outcomes everybody to make sure that the outcomes everybody to make sure that the outcomes are all identical. It doesn't work. I are all identical. It doesn't work. I are all identical. It doesn't work. I get the deep sense of compassion. I get get the deep sense of compassion. I get get the deep sense of compassion. I get why people want that. The problem is why people want that. The problem is why people want that. The problem is that as you begin to scale that up, it that as you begin to scale that up, it that as you begin to scale that up, it doesn't scale. It becomes the most doesn't scale. It becomes the most doesn't scale. It becomes the most murderous um ideology the world has ever murderous um ideology the world has ever murderous um ideology the world has ever seen because of the way that you have to seen because of the way that you have to seen because of the way that you have to force people to give things up. Because force people to give things up. Because force people to give things up. Because of the way that you have to go forcibly of the way that you have to go forcibly of the way that you have to go forcibly take things away from people and that take things away from people and that take things away from people and that the vast majority of people even in the vast majority of people even in the vast majority of people even in America even right now remember 70% of America even right now remember 70% of America even right now remember 70% of wealthy people including billionaires wealthy people including billionaires wealthy people including billionaires are self-made. So, I know that we have are self-made. So, I know that we have are self-made. So, I know that we have some delusional view that the way that some delusional view that the way that some delusional view that the way that people get wealthy is just it's just people get wealthy is just it's just people get wealthy is just it's just been passed on forever from time in been passed on forever from time in been passed on forever from time in memorial and that is somehow just a big memorial and that is somehow just a big memorial and that is somehow just a big echo of slavery. And all of that is just echo of slavery. And all of that is just echo of slavery. And all of that is just at odds with the facts of how people are at odds with the facts of how people are at odds with the facts of how people are actually getting wealthy right now actually getting wealthy right now actually getting wealthy right now today. And so understanding how wealth today. And so understanding how wealth today. And so understanding how wealth is created becomes this incredibly is created becomes this incredibly is created becomes this incredibly important thing where people have to be important thing where people have to be important thing where people have to be able to track that through line of cause able to track that through line of cause able to track that through line of cause and effect to understand what's going on and effect to understand what's going on and effect to understand what's going on to understand how you break that to understand how you break that to understand how you break that mechanism. the actual engine of mechanism. the actual engine of mechanism. the actual engine of prosperity, how it is broken by saying prosperity, how it is broken by saying prosperity, how it is broken by saying things like any immigrant anywhere things like any immigrant anywhere things like any immigrant anywhere should be able to come here, that should be able to come here, that should be able to come here, that borders don't make any sense. And I know borders don't make any sense. And I know borders don't make any sense. And I know people are going to say that nobody's people are going to say that nobody's people are going to say that nobody's saying that, but check out your DSA saying that, but check out your DSA saying that, but check out your DSA candidates that uh are in fact saying candidates that uh are in fact saying candidates that uh are in fact saying these things out loud. The one that just these things out loud. The one that just these things out loud. The one that just won in Colorado, the primary there, um won in Colorado, the primary there, um won in Colorado, the primary there, um she has said there needs to be a fast she has said there needs to be a fast she has said there needs to be a fast track for every immigrant in this track for every immigrant in this track for every immigrant in this country, whether or not they are country, whether or not they are country, whether or not they are undocumented to become citizens. undocumented to become citizens. undocumented to become citizens. Fasttrack. So, um, yeah, these Fasttrack. So, um, yeah, these Fasttrack. So, um, yeah, these definitely that ideology is about you definitely that ideology is about you definitely that ideology is about you have this country, it's so wealthy, the have this country, it's so wealthy, the have this country, it's so wealthy, the government should be collecting all of government should be collecting all of government should be collecting all of that in taxes and then spreading it to that in taxes and then spreading it to that in taxes and then spreading it to people um whether or not they were born people um whether or not they were born people um whether or not they were born here and that we should be making this here and that we should be making this here and that we should be making this as easy as possible for people to come as easy as possible for people to come as easy as possible for people to come here and become citizens. It is so blind here and become citizens. It is so blind here and become citizens. It is so blind to how wealth is actually created. It is to how wealth is actually created. It is to how wealth is actually created. It is completely wild. And I know that this completely wild. And I know that this completely wild. And I know that this has been repeated so often that it has been repeated so often that it has been repeated so often that it becomes a cliche, but Margaret Thatcher becomes a cliche, but Margaret Thatcher becomes a cliche, but Margaret Thatcher was right when she said that the problem was right when she said that the problem was right when she said that the problem with socialism is that you run out of with socialism is that you run out of with socialism is that you run out of other people's money. Take the other people's money. Take the other people's money. Take the tongue-in-cheek comment out of it. And tongue-in-cheek comment out of it. And tongue-in-cheek comment out of it. And just think about the reality of that. just think about the reality of that. just think about the reality of that. The reason that this will so often get The reason that this will so often get The reason that this will so often get voted into power in a country is that as voted into power in a country is that as voted into power in a country is that as you become prosperous, you start you become prosperous, you start you become prosperous, you start thinking, yeah, why do some people thinking, yeah, why do some people thinking, yeah, why do some people struggle when we have so much? And so struggle when we have so much? And so struggle when we have so much? And so you start redistributing the wealth, you start redistributing the wealth, you start redistributing the wealth, which then disincentivizes people from which then disincentivizes people from which then disincentivizes people from taking the risk, working hard, trying to taking the risk, working hard, trying to taking the risk, working hard, trying to get ahead. And so then ultimately you get ahead. And so then ultimately you get ahead. And so then ultimately you actually do run out of that money. And actually do run out of that money. And actually do run out of that money. And then you have to rely on whether it's then you have to rely on whether it's then you have to rely on whether it's handouts from other countries, whether handouts from other countries, whether handouts from other countries, whether it is money printing and devaluing your it is money printing and devaluing your it is money printing and devaluing your own currency, you end up having to own currency, you end up having to own currency, you end up having to desperately grasp at straws just to keep desperately grasp at straws just to keep desperately grasp at straws just to keep things going. And so you look at Cuba. things going. And so you look at Cuba. things going. And so you look at Cuba. Cuba becomes just a basically Cuba becomes just a basically Cuba becomes just a basically protectorate of Russia. Russia is protectorate of Russia. Russia is protectorate of Russia. Russia is leveraging their assistance with them to leveraging their assistance with them to leveraging their assistance with them to basically have a stalwart here right off basically have a stalwart here right off basically have a stalwart here right off the coast of America. And now Cuba is the coast of America. And now Cuba is the coast of America. And now Cuba is trapped in this never- ending cycle of trapped in this never- ending cycle of trapped in this never- ending cycle of never being able to get out of grinding never being able to get out of grinding never being able to get out of grinding poverty. And people act like, "Oh, this poverty. And people act like, "Oh, this poverty. And people act like, "Oh, this is just because the US is meddling in is just because the US is meddling in is just because the US is meddling in their affairs." So this is where their affairs." So this is where their affairs." So this is where not being able to map exactly how we end not being able to map exactly how we end not being able to map exactly how we end up with prosperity becomes a problem. up with prosperity becomes a problem. up with prosperity becomes a problem. There's the famous Thomas Soul quote. There's the famous Thomas Soul quote. There's the famous Thomas Soul quote. I'm going to paraphrase it here, which I'm going to paraphrase it here, which I'm going to paraphrase it here, which is socialists are extremely interested is socialists are extremely interested is socialists are extremely interested in how to redistribute wealth, but they in how to redistribute wealth, but they in how to redistribute wealth, but they never seem to show any curiosity for how never seem to show any curiosity for how never seem to show any curiosity for how wealth is created in the first place. wealth is created in the first place. wealth is created in the first place. And so that's why I love what Thomas um And so that's why I love what Thomas um And so that's why I love what Thomas um Clarence Thomas is saying in this by Clarence Thomas is saying in this by Clarence Thomas is saying in this by making sure that people as they think making sure that people as they think making sure that people as they think through the issue of birthright through the issue of birthright through the issue of birthright citizenship that they're not only citizenship that they're not only citizenship that they're not only thinking about the other side of this thinking about the other side of this thinking about the other side of this which we'll get to in a second about um which we'll get to in a second about um which we'll get to in a second about um the way that this ultimately is going to the way that this ultimately is going to the way that this ultimately is going to be abused by your adversaries, China be abused by your adversaries, China be abused by your adversaries, China being chief among them. But um getting being chief among them. But um getting being chief among them. But um getting people to understand that the engine of people to understand that the engine of people to understand that the engine of prosperity requires you to put up prosperity requires you to put up prosperity requires you to put up borders, keep government small, as small borders, keep government small, as small borders, keep government small, as small as humanly possible, and not to have as humanly possible, and not to have as humanly possible, and not to have this desire to just grow and grow and this desire to just grow and grow and this desire to just grow and grow and grow and confiscate and disincentivize grow and confiscate and disincentivize grow and confiscate and disincentivize uh and ensure that you have the equal uh and ensure that you have the equal uh and ensure that you have the equal outcomes, which is precisely how you outcomes, which is precisely how you outcomes, which is precisely how you break the engine of prosperity. So I break the engine of prosperity. So I break the engine of prosperity. So I thought that was fascinating. I was very thought that was fascinating. I was very thought that was fascinating. I was very surprised to hear him say that. Okay. surprised to hear him say that. Okay. surprised to hear him say that. Okay. Now, the other side of this is what I Now, the other side of this is what I Now, the other side of this is what I was just talking about, that this will was just talking about, that this will was just talking about, that this will be weaponized against you by your be weaponized against you by your be weaponized against you by your enemies. And this is where Trump uh in enemies. And this is where Trump uh in enemies. And this is where Trump uh in very Trumpian style sent out a very Trumpian style sent out a very Trumpian style sent out a congratulations to Xi. I don't know if congratulations to Xi. I don't know if congratulations to Xi. I don't know if we can pull that uh tweet up here we can pull that uh tweet up here we can pull that uh tweet up here quickly, but it is funny and horrendous quickly, but it is funny and horrendous quickly, but it is funny and horrendous all at the same time. So, here it is. all at the same time. So, here it is. all at the same time. So, here it is. All right. I would like to congratulate All right. I would like to congratulate All right. I would like to congratulate President Xi and the great country of President Xi and the great country of President Xi and the great country of China on their massive birthright China on their massive birthright China on their massive birthright citizenship win, President Donald J. citizenship win, President Donald J. citizenship win, President Donald J. Trump. So, uh, yeah, listen, it is Trump. So, uh, yeah, listen, it is Trump. So, uh, yeah, listen, it is utterly fascinating to me that utterly fascinating to me that utterly fascinating to me that Americans, we have been prosperous for Americans, we have been prosperous for Americans, we have been prosperous for so long that there is a large contingent so long that there is a large contingent so long that there is a large contingent of people that no longer a large of people that no longer a large of people that no longer a large contingent of people who have never contingent of people who have never contingent of people who have never developed a mental map of malevolence. developed a mental map of malevolence. developed a mental map of malevolence. And they seem to think that nobody will And they seem to think that nobody will And they seem to think that nobody will ever take advantage of this system, that ever take advantage of this system, that ever take advantage of this system, that uh it's perfectly fine to get rid of uh it's perfectly fine to get rid of uh it's perfectly fine to get rid of borders, immigration, prisons. It's borders, immigration, prisons. It's borders, immigration, prisons. It's absolutely wild as if there aren't absolutely wild as if there aren't absolutely wild as if there aren't people who in full understanding of what people who in full understanding of what people who in full understanding of what they're doing are simply going to take they're doing are simply going to take they're doing are simply going to take advantage of that weakness. This is why advantage of that weakness. This is why advantage of that weakness. This is why people will say that weakness is a people will say that weakness is a people will say that weakness is a provocation. What they mean by that is provocation. What they mean by that is provocation. What they mean by that is there is a type of person out there that there is a type of person out there that there is a type of person out there that if they see that you are weak, they're if they see that you are weak, they're if they see that you are weak, they're going to make a move. This is exactly going to make a move. This is exactly going to make a move. This is exactly why Putin said, "If Trump had been in why Putin said, "If Trump had been in why Putin said, "If Trump had been in office, I probably wouldn't have moved office, I probably wouldn't have moved office, I probably wouldn't have moved on um Ukraine." He saw the weakness of on um Ukraine." He saw the weakness of on um Ukraine." He saw the weakness of the Biden administration, was like, "All the Biden administration, was like, "All the Biden administration, was like, "All right, cool. I can get away with this right, cool. I can get away with this right, cool. I can get away with this here." Um, I really do believe that here." Um, I really do believe that here." Um, I really do believe that nations will be as um expansionary as nations will be as um expansionary as nations will be as um expansionary as their own internal moral compass will their own internal moral compass will their own internal moral compass will allow them and the level of violent allow them and the level of violent allow them and the level of violent resistance that they meet as they try to resistance that they meet as they try to resistance that they meet as they try to expand. And so if you take that as being expand. And so if you take that as being expand. And so if you take that as being just a human propensity, then you'll just a human propensity, then you'll just a human propensity, then you'll understand like the extensive fraud that understand like the extensive fraud that understand like the extensive fraud that we're beginning to see in America we're beginning to see in America we're beginning to see in America because people see things like COVID as because people see things like COVID as because people see things like COVID as a moment to go, "Oh, the government is a moment to go, "Oh, the government is a moment to go, "Oh, the government is lowering their defenses. Awesome. I'm lowering their defenses. Awesome. I'm lowering their defenses. Awesome. I'm going to go take advantage of that." And going to go take advantage of that." And going to go take advantage of that." And so you're going to see more and more and so you're going to see more and more and so you're going to see more and more and more of this from people like Xi where more of this from people like Xi where more of this from people like Xi where you've got some ungodly number of you've got some ungodly number of you've got some ungodly number of companies companies in China that companies companies in China that companies companies in China that actually do this birth um birth tourism actually do this birth um birth tourism actually do this birth um birth tourism where they're setting up hotels in the where they're setting up hotels in the where they're setting up hotels in the US and US territories, getting people to US and US territories, getting people to US and US territories, getting people to come here, have the baby, then they send come here, have the baby, then they send come here, have the baby, then they send them back to China where they're going them back to China where they're going them back to China where they're going to be raised uh to be loyal to China. to be raised uh to be loyal to China. to be raised uh to be loyal to China. and then should they so decide, send and then should they so decide, send and then should they so decide, send them back into the US where they will them back into the US where they will them back into the US where they will have um spent effectively none of their have um spent effectively none of their have um spent effectively none of their life in the US but roll up with all of life in the US but roll up with all of life in the US but roll up with all of the rights of a citizen. People are the rights of a citizen. People are the rights of a citizen. People are estimating the numbers at about a estimating the numbers at about a estimating the numbers at about a million uh people that will grow up as million uh people that will grow up as million uh people that will grow up as Chinese citizens but be able to come Chinese citizens but be able to come Chinese citizens but be able to come back here to the US. I haven't verified back here to the US. I haven't verified back here to the US. I haven't verified that number, so uh take that for what that number, so uh take that for what that number, so uh take that for what it's worth. We'll see um over time what it's worth. We'll see um over time what it's worth. We'll see um over time what that number actually ends up being able that number actually ends up being able that number actually ends up being able to be verified at. But just that that to be verified at. But just that that to be verified at. But just that that loophole has been created, I would say loophole has been created, I would say loophole has been created, I would say is something that we're going to want to is something that we're going to want to is something that we're going to want to address. Now, the good news about the address. Now, the good news about the address. Now, the good news about the ruling is it was a 54 decision, which ruling is it was a 54 decision, which ruling is it was a 54 decision, which means that um the people who thought it means that um the people who thought it means that um the people who thought it was going to be 72 or even 81, uh that was going to be 72 or even 81, uh that was going to be 72 or even 81, uh that that didn't end up being the case, that that didn't end up being the case, that that didn't end up being the case, that the um court is far more divided on the um court is far more divided on the um court is far more divided on this. Uh and so hopefully over time we this. Uh and so hopefully over time we this. Uh and so hopefully over time we can bring people's eye back around to um can bring people's eye back around to um can bring people's eye back around to um how these kinds of things will be how these kinds of things will be how these kinds of things will be weaponized against the US. If we want to weaponized against the US. If we want to weaponized against the US. If we want to have a um immigration policy, let's just have a um immigration policy, let's just have a um immigration policy, let's just state what we want the immigration state what we want the immigration state what we want the immigration policy to be. These are the people that policy to be. These are the people that policy to be. These are the people that we want to see come into the country. we want to see come into the country. we want to see come into the country. And if what people want to see is just And if what people want to see is just And if what people want to see is just anybody and everybody, make them state anybody and everybody, make them state anybody and everybody, make them state that out loud so people at least know that out loud so people at least know that out loud so people at least know what they're voting for. But having this what they're voting for. But having this what they're voting for. But having this backdoor via birthright citizenship is backdoor via birthright citizenship is backdoor via birthright citizenship is pretty crazy. Now, pretty crazy. Now, pretty crazy. Now, there's one way that I think that we there's one way that I think that we there's one way that I think that we could deal with this that would be very could deal with this that would be very could deal with this that would be very [snorts] in keeping with laws that are [snorts] in keeping with laws that are [snorts] in keeping with laws that are actually already on the books. Uh you actually already on the books. Uh you actually already on the books. Uh you guys may or may not know this, but as a guys may or may not know this, but as a guys may or may not know this, but as a US citizen, I know firsthand because I US citizen, I know firsthand because I US citizen, I know firsthand because I live through this. If as a US citizen live through this. If as a US citizen live through this. If as a US citizen you are living in another country, as I you are living in another country, as I you are living in another country, as I was living in the UK when I was um on was living in the UK when I was um on was living in the UK when I was um on the way to getting married to Lisa, you the way to getting married to Lisa, you the way to getting married to Lisa, you have to pay tax on worldwide income. have to pay tax on worldwide income. have to pay tax on worldwide income. Whether or not you're working for a US Whether or not you're working for a US Whether or not you're working for a US company doesn't matter. No matter where company doesn't matter. No matter where company doesn't matter. No matter where you're at in the world, you're going to you're at in the world, you're going to you're at in the world, you're going to pay tax presumably in that country and pay tax presumably in that country and pay tax presumably in that country and you're going to pay tax back in the US you're going to pay tax back in the US you're going to pay tax back in the US as a citizen of the US. And so the only as a citizen of the US. And so the only as a citizen of the US. And so the only way to stop that is to reject your way to stop that is to reject your way to stop that is to reject your citizenship. Now, if we're going to citizenship. Now, if we're going to citizenship. Now, if we're going to offer birthright citizenship to people, offer birthright citizenship to people, offer birthright citizenship to people, then we should be going to them, no then we should be going to them, no then we should be going to them, no matter where they're at in the world, matter where they're at in the world, matter where they're at in the world, and saying, "Hey, you've got a choice. and saying, "Hey, you've got a choice. and saying, "Hey, you've got a choice. You can either start paying tax on your You can either start paying tax on your You can either start paying tax on your worldwide income, or you can renounce worldwide income, or you can renounce worldwide income, or you can renounce your citizenship." But just like people your citizenship." But just like people your citizenship." But just like people that grew up in the US that have to do that grew up in the US that have to do that grew up in the US that have to do exactly that, we expect the same from exactly that, we expect the same from exactly that, we expect the same from you. And I think that will cause a lot you. And I think that will cause a lot you. And I think that will cause a lot of people to [snorts] have to just of people to [snorts] have to just of people to [snorts] have to just actually make that choice. Am I really actually make that choice. Am I really actually make that choice. Am I really going to continue to pay for my going to continue to pay for my going to continue to pay for my citizenship or am I going to renounce citizenship or am I going to renounce citizenship or am I going to renounce it? So, that would help. I don't think it? So, that would help. I don't think it? So, that would help. I don't think that that goes all the way to solving that that goes all the way to solving that that goes all the way to solving the problem in the way that we should the problem in the way that we should the problem in the way that we should want to see the problem solved, but at want to see the problem solved, but at want to see the problem solved, but at least that would do something to make least that would do something to make least that would do something to make this a decision that people really had this a decision that people really had this a decision that people really had to make, that they really had to put to make, that they really had to put to make, that they really had to put their money where their mouth is in their money where their mouth is in their money where their mouth is in terms of whether they're going to terms of whether they're going to terms of whether they're going to contribute to the American system in contribute to the American system in contribute to the American system in order to retain their citizenship. All order to retain their citizenship. All order to retain their citizenship. All right, man. I think this one is going to right, man. I think this one is going to right, man. I think this one is going to be hotly hotly debated. be hotly hotly debated. be hotly hotly debated. >> Uh going back to your last point when >> Uh going back to your last point when >> Uh going back to your last point when you said you have to pay on income, it you said you have to pay on income, it you said you have to pay on income, it was like income tax. You'll file a form was like income tax. You'll file a form was like income tax. You'll file a form and then it will pay back. So if you had and then it will pay back. So if you had and then it will pay back. So if you had no income, you wouldn't have to pay. no income, you wouldn't have to pay. no income, you wouldn't have to pay. Like if you didn't have Like if you didn't have Like if you didn't have >> Yeah. If you're not making money, so >> Yeah. If you're not making money, so >> Yeah. If you're not making money, so you're not going to be able to do this you're not going to be able to do this you're not going to be able to do this on an 11year-old. on an 11year-old. on an 11year-old. >> I'm going to the million Chinese babies >> I'm going to the million Chinese babies >> I'm going to the million Chinese babies that are infiltrating the US. That's why that are infiltrating the US. That's why that are infiltrating the US. That's why I asked to see if they would if that I asked to see if they would if that I asked to see if they would if that would be a way to get them. But they would be a way to get them. But they would be a way to get them. But they would be exempt because they would not would be exempt because they would not would be exempt because they would not have any income. have any income. have any income. >> They would be exempt until presumably >> They would be exempt until presumably >> They would be exempt until presumably they turn 18. I very much doubt that they turn 18. I very much doubt that they turn 18. I very much doubt that they're just going to sit around in they're just going to sit around in they're just going to sit around in China. Now it's possible. China. Now it's possible. China. Now it's possible. >> Yeah. If you're rich enough to come to >> Yeah. If you're rich enough to come to >> Yeah. If you're rich enough to come to the US just to have a baby and then fly the US just to have a baby and then fly the US just to have a baby and then fly immediately back, I feel like you're immediately back, I feel like you're immediately back, I feel like you're rich enough not to have a job. rich enough not to have a job. rich enough not to have a job. >> Possible. And so you may not be able to >> Possible. And so you may not be able to >> Possible. And so you may not be able to curb the problem uh as much as I would curb the problem uh as much as I would curb the problem uh as much as I would like through that, but I think that you like through that, but I think that you like through that, but I think that you will catch a substantive number of will catch a substantive number of will catch a substantive number of people because now you're asking um the people because now you're asking um the people because now you're asking um the government basically to just sort of government basically to just sort of government basically to just sort of endlessly support these people and maybe endlessly support these people and maybe endlessly support these people and maybe they'd be willing to. Maybe it's they'd be willing to. Maybe it's they'd be willing to. Maybe it's advantageous enough for them to do that. advantageous enough for them to do that. advantageous enough for them to do that. I certainly won't rule it out. China's I certainly won't rule it out. China's I certainly won't rule it out. China's got a lot of money. Um but yeah, I think got a lot of money. Um but yeah, I think got a lot of money. Um but yeah, I think it would make people make harder it would make people make harder it would make people make harder decisions. Also, I don't think all one decisions. Also, I don't think all one decisions. Also, I don't think all one million of those are people working for million of those are people working for million of those are people working for the Chinese government. I don't even the Chinese government. I don't even the Chinese government. I don't even know that any of them are. I'm just know that any of them are. I'm just know that any of them are. I'm just saying that that is certainly a saying that that is certainly a saying that that is certainly a loophole. Like, if I can get everybody loophole. Like, if I can get everybody loophole. Like, if I can get everybody to follow the chain of logic, do we to follow the chain of logic, do we to follow the chain of logic, do we think the US sends people to be spies in think the US sends people to be spies in think the US sends people to be spies in other countries? If you answer anything other countries? If you answer anything other countries? If you answer anything but yes to that, you're out of your but yes to that, you're out of your but yes to that, you're out of your [ __ ] mind. [ __ ] mind. [ __ ] mind. >> Do we think other countries send spies >> Do we think other countries send spies >> Do we think other countries send spies to the US to be a part of the US? If you to the US to be a part of the US? If you to the US to be a part of the US? If you say anything other than yes or that, say anything other than yes or that, say anything other than yes or that, you're out of your [ __ ] mind. So now you're out of your [ __ ] mind. So now you're out of your [ __ ] mind. So now it's like, okay, well, if we know that it's like, okay, well, if we know that it's like, okay, well, if we know that we and our adversaries are constantly we and our adversaries are constantly we and our adversaries are constantly doing this at all times, do we not think doing this at all times, do we not think doing this at all times, do we not think that they're going to scan the voter that they're going to scan the voter that they're going to scan the voter roles or not voter roles, but the uh roles or not voter roles, but the uh roles or not voter roles, but the uh regulations and the laws of our country regulations and the laws of our country regulations and the laws of our country and go, "Which of these can be used and go, "Which of these can be used and go, "Which of these can be used against them?" Uh, you're crazy. Of against them?" Uh, you're crazy. Of against them?" Uh, you're crazy. Of course, they're going to do that. So course, they're going to do that. So course, they're going to do that. So Kobe Bryant used to research where the Kobe Bryant used to research where the Kobe Bryant used to research where the refs were required to stand on the court refs were required to stand on the court refs were required to stand on the court at a given time so he could know their at a given time so he could know their at a given time so he could know their movements. Uh if you've got a basketball movements. Uh if you've got a basketball movements. Uh if you've got a basketball player that understands ah you just need player that understands ah you just need player that understands ah you just need to understand the regulations better to understand the regulations better to understand the regulations better than anybody else and you can do things than anybody else and you can do things than anybody else and you can do things other people will think border on magic. other people will think border on magic. other people will think border on magic. Governments are doing the same thing. Governments are doing the same thing. Governments are doing the same thing. They're looking at where are the things They're looking at where are the things They're looking at where are the things that I can exploit in this setup. And so that I can exploit in this setup. And so that I can exploit in this setup. And so this is just an angle that we're giving this is just an angle that we're giving this is just an angle that we're giving to our adversaries as a way to exploit to our adversaries as a way to exploit to our adversaries as a way to exploit us. And so the interesting part for me us. And so the interesting part for me us. And so the interesting part for me is when you do think of this as a is when you do think of this as a is when you do think of this as a culture war and a culture war is a culture war and a culture war is a culture war and a culture war is a collision of values. When you start collision of values. When you start collision of values. When you start asking, okay, what are the values that asking, okay, what are the values that asking, okay, what are the values that people believe? What is the worldview people believe? What is the worldview people believe? What is the worldview that's driving those? Meaning, what base that's driving those? Meaning, what base that's driving those? Meaning, what base assumptions are they making that make assumptions are they making that make assumptions are they making that make them think this makes sense that you them think this makes sense that you them think this makes sense that you would want anybody to be able to get would want anybody to be able to get would want anybody to be able to get here, uh, have a baby, whether you're, here, uh, have a baby, whether you're, here, uh, have a baby, whether you're, um, here illegally or not. That's um, here illegally or not. That's um, here illegally or not. That's somebody who says there is no such thing somebody who says there is no such thing somebody who says there is no such thing as illegal. There's I'm going to guess as illegal. There's I'm going to guess as illegal. There's I'm going to guess if you push them, they would effectively if you push them, they would effectively if you push them, they would effectively say that there's no such thing as say that there's no such thing as say that there's no such thing as borders, which is exactly how I read borders, which is exactly how I read borders, which is exactly how I read somebody um like Curos, who's the DSA somebody um like Curos, who's the DSA somebody um like Curos, who's the DSA candidate from Colorado, saying that candidate from Colorado, saying that candidate from Colorado, saying that there should be fasttrack for um anybody there should be fasttrack for um anybody there should be fasttrack for um anybody who's here, even if they're here who's here, even if they're here who's here, even if they're here illegally, there should be a fast track illegally, there should be a fast track illegally, there should be a fast track to citizenship. It's like that's to citizenship. It's like that's to citizenship. It's like that's somebody who the the idea of borders somebody who the the idea of borders somebody who the the idea of borders just doesn't make sense to them. Now, if just doesn't make sense to them. Now, if just doesn't make sense to them. Now, if I try to map what base assumptions they I try to map what base assumptions they I try to map what base assumptions they have that would lead them to believe have that would lead them to believe have that would lead them to believe that it's going to be something along that it's going to be something along that it's going to be something along the lines of either in a more benevolent the lines of either in a more benevolent the lines of either in a more benevolent view, hey, we've been so prosperous, view, hey, we've been so prosperous, view, hey, we've been so prosperous, we've been so wealthy, we need to spread we've been so wealthy, we need to spread we've been so wealthy, we need to spread that wealth around uh to anybody that that wealth around uh to anybody that that wealth around uh to anybody that can make it here, and we should want and can make it here, and we should want and can make it here, and we should want and encourage people to come here just as encourage people to come here just as encourage people to come here just as the early people that came to America the early people that came to America the early people that came to America came. We are the place, as the Statue of came. We are the place, as the Statue of came. We are the place, as the Statue of Liberty says, for the people that long Liberty says, for the people that long Liberty says, for the people that long to breathe free. That would be the most to breathe free. That would be the most to breathe free. That would be the most benevolent read of that. A more probably benevolent read of that. A more probably benevolent read of that. A more probably accurate, but certainly more cynical accurate, but certainly more cynical accurate, but certainly more cynical read would be that these are the people read would be that these are the people read would be that these are the people that are likely to um view the world the that are likely to um view the world the that are likely to um view the world the way that I view the world and therefore way that I view the world and therefore way that I view the world and therefore vote the way that I vote. And the way vote the way that I vote. And the way vote the way that I vote. And the way that I view the world is this. Um this that I view the world is this. Um this that I view the world is this. Um this country is marked by exploitation, country is marked by exploitation, country is marked by exploitation, colonization, colonization, colonization, uh empire, meddling in foreign affairs, uh empire, meddling in foreign affairs, uh empire, meddling in foreign affairs, destabilizing different regions. And so destabilizing different regions. And so destabilizing different regions. And so uh [ __ ] this country. And by the way, uh [ __ ] this country. And by the way, uh [ __ ] this country. And by the way, 36% 36% 36% of Democrats, I've got to imagine the of Democrats, I've got to imagine the of Democrats, I've got to imagine the number is substantively higher for number is substantively higher for number is substantively higher for Democratic Socialists of America, but Democratic Socialists of America, but Democratic Socialists of America, but 36% of Democrats are not proud to be 36% of Democrats are not proud to be 36% of Democrats are not proud to be Americans at all compared to 1% of Americans at all compared to 1% of Americans at all compared to 1% of Republicans. So when you assume, okay, Republicans. So when you assume, okay, Republicans. So when you assume, okay, there's a very substantive percentage of there's a very substantive percentage of there's a very substantive percentage of that party that is not proud of America that party that is not proud of America that party that is not proud of America at all, I don't think it's a big stretch at all, I don't think it's a big stretch at all, I don't think it's a big stretch to think that that's roughly how people to think that that's roughly how people to think that that's roughly how people see it. And so they're trying to bring see it. And so they're trying to bring see it. And so they're trying to bring people in to basically uh take back the people in to basically uh take back the people in to basically uh take back the resources that they view that America resources that they view that America resources that they view that America has taken from the world, plug in their has taken from the world, plug in their has taken from the world, plug in their beliefs on billionaires. Same idea. AOC beliefs on billionaires. Same idea. AOC beliefs on billionaires. Same idea. AOC said flatly, there's no way to earn a said flatly, there's no way to earn a said flatly, there's no way to earn a billion dollars without doing something billion dollars without doing something billion dollars without doing something illegal. And so you're taking from illegal. And so you're taking from illegal. And so you're taking from somebody wage theft, etc., etc. So with somebody wage theft, etc., etc. So with somebody wage theft, etc., etc. So with that as a base assumption, it is not that as a base assumption, it is not that as a base assumption, it is not hard to believe that the operating hard to believe that the operating hard to believe that the operating system that they're running is one of system that they're running is one of system that they're running is one of America has done very bad things. We America has done very bad things. We America has done very bad things. We need to get as many people here, need to get as many people here, need to get as many people here, redistribute, take the wealth from the redistribute, take the wealth from the redistribute, take the wealth from the wealthy here in the country and then wealthy here in the country and then wealthy here in the country and then redistribute it to uh migrants from redistribute it to uh migrants from redistribute it to uh migrants from foreign countries as a way of foreign countries as a way of foreign countries as a way of reparations. I don't think that's a reparations. I don't think that's a reparations. I don't think that's a stretch in the slightest based on what stretch in the slightest based on what stretch in the slightest based on what would just need to be true for them to would just need to be true for them to would just need to be true for them to have the mental model that they have and have the mental model that they have and have the mental model that they have and then based on things that they're then based on things that they're then based on things that they're actually saying out loud. actually saying out loud. actually saying out loud. >> Um let's start at the beginning.

Uh so yeah, that's a a politics are. Uh so yeah, that's a a politics are. Uh so yeah, that's a a real thing. But I'm not going to say real thing. But I'm not going to say real thing. But I'm not going to say what I think people want me to say. I'm what I think people want me to say. I'm what I think people want me to say. I'm going to say what I think actually takes going to say what I think actually takes going to say what I think actually takes us to um a thriving middle class. us to um a thriving middle class. us to um a thriving middle class. >> Yeah. Um there's been a lot of talk >> Yeah. Um there's been a lot of talk >> Yeah. Um there's been a lot of talk about we need to expand Scotas. We need about we need to expand Scotas. We need about we need to expand Scotas. We need to pack the courts. Um there was one to pack the courts. Um there was one to pack the courts. Um there was one person on the right who was talking person on the right who was talking person on the right who was talking about we need to about we need to about we need to block pregnant women from entering the block pregnant women from entering the block pregnant women from entering the country. Is there a response that you country. Is there a response that you country. Is there a response that you think is appropriate um in order to think is appropriate um in order to think is appropriate um in order to mitigate the Supreme Court decision or mitigate the Supreme Court decision or mitigate the Supreme Court decision or are you the Supreme Court said it we are you the Supreme Court said it we are you the Supreme Court said it we need to move on and address it in other need to move on and address it in other need to move on and address it in other ways? So, I do find it hilarious that ways? So, I do find it hilarious that ways? So, I do find it hilarious that people will be like, "Uh, I love the people will be like, "Uh, I love the people will be like, "Uh, I love the court because they said a thing I like. court because they said a thing I like. court because they said a thing I like. I hate the court. Dismantle it, pack it, I hate the court. Dismantle it, pack it, I hate the court. Dismantle it, pack it, whatever, because they said a thing that whatever, because they said a thing that whatever, because they said a thing that I don't like." Um, look at the system as I don't like." Um, look at the system as I don't like." Um, look at the system as a policy. And so if you a policy. And so if you a policy. And so if you if you look at it and you say, "Okay, if you look at it and you say, "Okay, if you look at it and you say, "Okay, listen. We have this flaw in the setup listen. We have this flaw in the setup listen. We have this flaw in the setup of the way that the Supreme Court of the way that the Supreme Court of the way that the Supreme Court operates and I'm going to imagine the operates and I'm going to imagine the operates and I'm going to imagine the court is just chalk full of people that court is just chalk full of people that court is just chalk full of people that I love. So they're giving me all the I love. So they're giving me all the I love. So they're giving me all the answers that I want, but I think that answers that I want, but I think that answers that I want, but I think that there's a flaw in the way that it's set there's a flaw in the way that it's set there's a flaw in the way that it's set up." Cool. Then make that change and up." Cool. Then make that change and up." Cool. Then make that change and I'll respect it. If you're just saying, I'll respect it. If you're just saying, I'll respect it. If you're just saying, "I don't like what these people have "I don't like what these people have "I don't like what these people have said." Uh now you're getting into the said." Uh now you're getting into the said." Uh now you're getting into the part where you're trying to build a part where you're trying to build a part where you're trying to build a weapon that you can use against your weapon that you can use against your weapon that you can use against your opponent and that's the wrong idea. The opponent and that's the wrong idea. The opponent and that's the wrong idea. The very foundation of our country was that very foundation of our country was that very foundation of our country was that men clamor for power and they will use men clamor for power and they will use men clamor for power and they will use it and they will abuse it. And so the it and they will abuse it. And so the it and they will abuse it. And so the very experiment that we're running is very experiment that we're running is very experiment that we're running is freedom. Is there a way to allow people freedom. Is there a way to allow people freedom. Is there a way to allow people to be free to do the things that they to be free to do the things that they to be free to do the things that they think are right? To let states run think are right? To let states run think are right? To let states run different different experiments, to not different different experiments, to not different different experiments, to not try to dictatorally run everything from try to dictatorally run everything from try to dictatorally run everything from the top down, to be very terrified of a the top down, to be very terrified of a the top down, to be very terrified of a dictator, to be very terrified of a dictator, to be very terrified of a dictator, to be very terrified of a king, to understand that people will act king, to understand that people will act king, to understand that people will act like a dictator or a king within their like a dictator or a king within their like a dictator or a king within their own little thief. And so, we've got to own little thief. And so, we've got to own little thief. And so, we've got to put these different branches in this put these different branches in this put these different branches in this constant tension with each other. And so constant tension with each other. And so constant tension with each other. And so what we should be asking is how do we what we should be asking is how do we what we should be asking is how do we make that tension more effective? How do make that tension more effective? How do make that tension more effective? How do we make sure that the three branches of we make sure that the three branches of we make sure that the three branches of government are actually in a balance so government are actually in a balance so government are actually in a balance so that if one of them is um getting ill that if one of them is um getting ill that if one of them is um getting ill that the system is going to be able to that the system is going to be able to that the system is going to be able to survive that. What I see culturally survive that. What I see culturally survive that. What I see culturally right now on the right and the left is a right now on the right and the left is a right now on the right and the left is a desire to make a different branch of desire to make a different branch of desire to make a different branch of government a more effective weapon government a more effective weapon government a more effective weapon against my opponents that I [ __ ] against my opponents that I [ __ ] against my opponents that I [ __ ] hate. And so watching the um presidency hate. And so watching the um presidency hate. And so watching the um presidency just turn into a never-ending string of just turn into a never-ending string of just turn into a never-ending string of executive orders is grotesque. I executive orders is grotesque. I executive orders is grotesque. I certainly hate to see it. Watching certainly hate to see it. Watching certainly hate to see it. Watching Congress um not like do their job and Congress um not like do their job and Congress um not like do their job and just legislate common sense things um just legislate common sense things um just legislate common sense things um that's horrible. And then it makes me that's horrible. And then it makes me that's horrible. And then it makes me sad that you're getting a Supreme Court sad that you're getting a Supreme Court sad that you're getting a Supreme Court that just breaks largely predictably that just breaks largely predictably that just breaks largely predictably along party lines. That's always sad. To along party lines. That's always sad. To along party lines. That's always sad. To Drew's point, seeing them be a little Drew's point, seeing them be a little Drew's point, seeing them be a little bit unpredictable is actually great. bit unpredictable is actually great. bit unpredictable is actually great. Even if it goes against the thing that I Even if it goes against the thing that I Even if it goes against the thing that I want, I'm perfectly willing to argue for want, I'm perfectly willing to argue for want, I'm perfectly willing to argue for the ideas and say, "Here's why I hope the ideas and say, "Here's why I hope the ideas and say, "Here's why I hope that this gets reversed over time." Um, that this gets reversed over time." Um, that this gets reversed over time." Um, but I am still a big believer in that but I am still a big believer in that but I am still a big believer in that system creating this balance of tension system creating this balance of tension system creating this balance of tension between the three different branches so between the three different branches so between the three different branches so that nobody can just run forward that nobody can just run forward that nobody can just run forward unchecked. I don't want even if it were unchecked. I don't want even if it were unchecked. I don't want even if it were me, even if I were the one given all the me, even if I were the one given all the me, even if I were the one given all the power in the world, I wouldn't want to power in the world, I wouldn't want to power in the world, I wouldn't want to be unchecked. I think it is good and be unchecked. I think it is good and be unchecked. I think it is good and right that you have a system that can right that you have a system that can right that you have a system that can styy one person's agenda from just styy one person's agenda from just styy one person's agenda from just running from end to end. I think that's running from end to end. I think that's running from end to end. I think that's very wise because the problem is like very wise because the problem is like very wise because the problem is like let let me just assume for a second that let let me just assume for a second that let let me just assume for a second that it is me that I am Xi Jinping and I can it is me that I am Xi Jinping and I can it is me that I am Xi Jinping and I can do whatever I want including killing my do whatever I want including killing my do whatever I want including killing my uh opponents. If you guys have never uh opponents. If you guys have never uh opponents. If you guys have never seen the anime Death Note, [ __ ] watch seen the anime Death Note, [ __ ] watch seen the anime Death Note, [ __ ] watch it. It is so good. You've got the power. it. It is so good. You've got the power. it. It is so good. You've got the power. You can kill anybody you want. There's You can kill anybody you want. There's You can kill anybody you want. There's some real bad people in the world. Kill, some real bad people in the world. Kill, some real bad people in the world. Kill, kill, kill. And would you, would you? kill, kill. And would you, would you? kill, kill. And would you, would you? And the problem is, just like we learn And the problem is, just like we learn And the problem is, just like we learn in Death Note, it never stops with the in Death Note, it never stops with the in Death Note, it never stops with the bad people. It suddenly becomes the bad people. It suddenly becomes the bad people. It suddenly becomes the people. People become bad simply because people. People become bad simply because people. People become bad simply because they oppose me. And man, uh, I think they oppose me. And man, uh, I think they oppose me. And man, uh, I think that's just what people do. And so I that's just what people do. And so I that's just what people do. And so I would want to have checks on me because would want to have checks on me because would want to have checks on me because the greatest danger of the human psyche the greatest danger of the human psyche the greatest danger of the human psyche is you convince yourself that you're is you convince yourself that you're is you convince yourself that you're right. right. right. Uh we all do it. We all do it. And so I Uh we all do it. We all do it. And so I Uh we all do it. We all do it. And so I don't want to be in that position. Now don't want to be in that position. Now don't want to be in that position. Now admittedly I do somehow in my life and I admittedly I do somehow in my life and I admittedly I do somehow in my life and I kind of am as a CEO. I want to be kind of am as a CEO. I want to be kind of am as a CEO. I want to be tempted by the ring of power. I want to tempted by the ring of power. I want to tempted by the ring of power.

But what we're and take advantage of us. But what we're and take advantage of us. But what we're not talking about is economic policies not talking about is economic policies not talking about is economic policies that can help balance the budget.

Whereas we're now talking about a hypothetical that takes years to about a hypothetical that takes years to about a hypothetical that takes years to happen where right now our inflation happen where right now our inflation happen where right now our inflation target is high. Right now we have a target is high. Right now we have a target is high. Right now we have a housing problem that I keep banging the housing problem that I keep banging the housing problem that I keep banging the drum on cuz I want people to not like drum on cuz I want people to not like drum on cuz I want people to not like forget about that. Right now we keep forget about that. Right now we keep forget about that. Right now we keep having affordability issues. Right now having affordability issues. Right now having affordability issues. Right now we don't have a balance budget in any we don't have a balance budget in any we don't have a balance budget in any set of in any part of the government. Um set of in any part of the government. Um set of in any part of the government. Um right now we're about to merge our right now we're about to merge our right now we're about to merge our military with Israel and nobody's saying military with Israel and nobody's saying military with Israel and nobody's saying anything about that. anything about that. anything about that. >> It's interesting. You're going to have >> It's interesting. You're going to have >> It's interesting. You're going to have to um give me the details on that one. I to um give me the details on that one. I to um give me the details on that one. I I have not looked at it deeply. Maybe if I have not looked at it deeply. Maybe if I have not looked at it deeply. Maybe if I look at it I'll be super traumatized. I look at it I'll be super traumatized. I look at it I'll be super traumatized. Uh but that one doesn't trigger my alarm Uh but that one doesn't trigger my alarm Uh but that one doesn't trigger my alarm bells. Uh however, I think that the bells. Uh however, I think that the bells. Uh however, I think that the economic thing is far more important to economic thing is far more important to economic thing is far more important to talk about. Um but I'm happy to start talk about. Um but I'm happy to start talk about. Um but I'm happy to start going down the road of Israel US going down the road of Israel US going down the road of Israel US military coordinating, which is how I military coordinating, which is how I military coordinating, which is how I read it. But anyway, people really think read it. But anyway, people really think read it. But anyway, people really think there's a smoking gun there. I will there's a smoking gun there. I will there's a smoking gun there. I will happily start diving into that. Um so happily start diving into that. Um so happily start diving into that. Um so let's talking about the economics of it let's talking about the economics of it let's talking about the economics of it all. I think you're right. To me, that's all. I think you're right. To me, that's all. I think you're right. To me, that's like the whole game. I think I've made like the whole game. I think I've made like the whole game. I think I've made that very clear. But immigration that very clear. But immigration that very clear. But immigration is going to be the most important debate is going to be the most important debate is going to be the most important debate over the next 10 years precisely because over the next 10 years precisely because over the next 10 years precisely because it's going to impact the economics of it's going to impact the economics of it's going to impact the economics of things so profoundly. And I will be very things so profoundly. And I will be very things so profoundly. And I will be very surprised if people right now can't feel surprised if people right now can't feel surprised if people right now can't feel that there is a um on in the Democratic that there is a um on in the Democratic that there is a um on in the Democratic party there the energy is far left. Now, party there the energy is far left. Now, party there the energy is far left. Now, if people want to debate that, I'm happy if people want to debate that, I'm happy if people want to debate that, I'm happy to debate it. But when you look at the to debate it. But when you look at the to debate it. But when you look at the um primaries, we're seeing a spate. I um primaries, we're seeing a spate. I um primaries, we're seeing a spate. I think we've had four now. We're seeing think we've had four now. We're seeing think we've had four now. We're seeing four um incumbent like long-term four um incumbent like long-term four um incumbent like long-term incumbent uh what do they call them? incumbent uh what do they call them? incumbent uh what do they call them? Establishment Democrats being replaced Establishment Democrats being replaced Establishment Democrats being replaced by specifically DSA members. So, um you by specifically DSA members. So, um you by specifically DSA members. So, um you look at mom Donnie. Mom Donnie is I look at mom Donnie. Mom Donnie is I look at mom Donnie. Mom Donnie is I think the deacto face of the Democrat think the deacto face of the Democrat think the deacto face of the Democrat party. He's not eligible for president, party. He's not eligible for president, party. He's not eligible for president, but nonetheless, he is the deacto face but nonetheless, he is the deacto face but nonetheless, he is the deacto face of the Democrat party. And so he's a DSA of the Democrat party. And so he's a DSA of the Democrat party. And so he's a DSA member. So that I think people would be member. So that I think people would be member. So that I think people would be hardressed to say there's not an hardressed to say there's not an hardressed to say there's not an argument to say that that's swinging argument to say that that's swinging argument to say that that's swinging farther left. Now they are largely one farther left. Now they are largely one farther left. Now they are largely one of their big tentpole things is of their big tentpole things is of their big tentpole things is immigration. And so when you start immigration. And so when you start immigration. And so when you start asking why is immigration such a asking why is immigration such a asking why is immigration such a problem? One, it changes the values of problem? One, it changes the values of problem? One, it changes the values of your culture. And what is one of the your culture. And what is one of the your culture. And what is one of the ways that the values of your culture end ways that the values of your culture end ways that the values of your culture end up creating problems? It is in up creating problems? It is in up creating problems? It is in economics. It's not the only way, but economics. It's not the only way, but economics. It's not the only way, but it's a big way. And so I think this is it's a big way. And so I think this is it's a big way. And so I think this is what I was saying at the top of the what I was saying at the top of the what I was saying at the top of the show. I think the cultural debate of our show. I think the cultural debate of our show. I think the cultural debate of our era is going to be whether we should be era is going to be whether we should be era is going to be whether we should be looking for the smallest government that looking for the smallest government that looking for the smallest government that we can get away with or whether we're we can get away with or whether we're we can get away with or whether we're trying to get the biggest government trying to get the biggest government trying to get the biggest government that we can humanly possible through that we can humanly possible through that we can humanly possible through redistributive means. That's the debate. redistributive means. That's the debate. redistributive means. That's the debate. And so when I look at the immigration And so when I look at the immigration And so when I look at the immigration debate, I see that going in one debate, I see that going in one debate, I see that going in one direction. Show me the incentives and I direction. Show me the incentives and I direction. Show me the incentives and I will show you the outcome. The will show you the outcome. The will show you the outcome. The incentives for an immigrant is to come incentives for an immigrant is to come incentives for an immigrant is to come here and get free [ __ ] And so if you're here and get free [ __ ] And so if you're here and get free [ __ ] And so if you're in a country where things are not going in a country where things are not going in a country where things are not going well and you can go to America where well and you can go to America where well and you can go to America where things are while getting stressed and things are while getting stressed and things are while getting stressed and moving in the wrong direction according moving in the wrong direction according moving in the wrong direction according to Tom Billu, they are certainly way to Tom Billu, they are certainly way to Tom Billu, they are certainly way better than they are anywhere else. The better than they are anywhere else. The better than they are anywhere else. The only place it even comes close is China. only place it even comes close is China. only place it even comes close is China. And so if we want to have a debate about And so if we want to have a debate about And so if we want to have a debate about the Nordic countries, we certainly can. the Nordic countries, we certainly can. the Nordic countries, we certainly can. For I hope I can sum up in one word why For I hope I can sum up in one word why For I hope I can sum up in one word why I say China and not the Nordic I say China and not the Nordic I say China and not the Nordic countries, innovation. So you've got countries, innovation. So you've got countries, innovation. So you've got these two behemoths that have become these two behemoths that have become these two behemoths that have become behemoths through innovation, the US and behemoths through innovation, the US and behemoths through innovation, the US and China. So the two economies that I China. So the two economies that I China. So the two economies that I expect to do the best in the world while expect to do the best in the world while expect to do the best in the world while being able to protect themselves, yada being able to protect themselves, yada being able to protect themselves, yada yada. So, you've got these two behemoths yada. So, you've got these two behemoths yada. So, you've got these two behemoths that that that represent what it looks like when you represent what it looks like when you represent what it looks like when you can really get your economy humming. can really get your economy humming. can really get your economy humming. Now, we both have problems with our Now, we both have problems with our Now, we both have problems with our economy. Nobody is going to deny that. economy. Nobody is going to deny that. economy. Nobody is going to deny that. Certainly not me. Okay. Immigration is Certainly not me. Okay. Immigration is Certainly not me. Okay. Immigration is going to play such a gigantic role in going to play such a gigantic role in going to play such a gigantic role in our ability to continue to thrive our ability to continue to thrive our ability to continue to thrive because the incentive is to leave a because the incentive is to leave a because the incentive is to leave a country that is not doing well, to come country that is not doing well, to come country that is not doing well, to come to this country that is doing well, to to this country that is doing well, to to this country that is doing well, to vote for more free [ __ ] as if that vote for more free [ __ ] as if that vote for more free [ __ ] as if that won't break the engine of prosperity. won't break the engine of prosperity. won't break the engine of prosperity. And so immigration becomes And so immigration becomes And so immigration becomes the bullseye for the conversation about the bullseye for the conversation about the bullseye for the conversation about breaking the engine of prosperity. breaking the engine of prosperity. breaking the engine of prosperity. That's reason number one why we have to That's reason number one why we have to That's reason number one why we have to talk about it. But then there's also talk about it. But then there's also talk about it. But then there's also going to be the values debate especially going to be the values debate especially going to be the values debate especially because uh of Muslim specific because uh of Muslim specific because uh of Muslim specific immigration tied to uh Islam and whether immigration tied to uh Islam and whether immigration tied to uh Islam and whether that is going to integrate well with that is going to integrate well with that is going to integrate well with whether we are all Christian or not a whether we are all Christian or not a whether we are all Christian or not a Christian society. Drew and I have Christian society. Drew and I have Christian society. Drew and I have already had this debate so hopefully my already had this debate so hopefully my already had this debate so hopefully my thinking on it is clear. Um happy to thinking on it is clear. Um happy to thinking on it is clear. Um happy to explain it again if people are confused explain it again if people are confused explain it again if people are confused but like those two things are going to but like those two things are going to but like those two things are going to collide. And so we have to look at what collide. And so we have to look at what collide. And so we have to look at what are we going to do about assimilation. are we going to do about assimilation. are we going to do about assimilation. So in a quick nutshell, that's still So in a quick nutshell, that's still So in a quick nutshell, that's still oversimplifying it, but those two big oversimplifying it, but those two big oversimplifying it, but those two big beats are why I think immigration is beats are why I think immigration is beats are why I think immigration is going to be the debate um of the next going to be the debate um of the next going to be the debate um of the next decade. decade. decade. >> We shall see. Um let's jump over to JD >> We shall see. Um let's jump over to JD >> We shall see. Um let's jump over to JD Vance who said that the Trumpou was to Vance who said that the Trumpou was to Vance who said that the Trumpou was to get some money uh or to refill the get some money uh or to refill the get some money uh or to refill the world's oil economy. world's oil economy. world's oil economy. So I think what the president has told So I think what the president has told So I think what the president has told us to do is use thisou to sort of refill us to do is use thisou to sort of refill us to do is use thisou to sort of refill the world's oil economy. the world's oil economy. the world's oil economy. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> To refill some stocks and then to see >> To refill some stocks and then to see >> To refill some stocks and then to see where the hand is.

You got to say that the Trump administration just says the [ __ ] Trump administration just says the [ __ ] Trump administration just says the [ __ ] You had uh Rubio, he's walked it back, You had uh Rubio, he's walked it back, You had uh Rubio, he's walked it back, but you had Rubio back in the day being but you had Rubio back in the day being but you had Rubio back in the day being like Israel was about to strike Iran, so like Israel was about to strike Iran, so like Israel was about to strike Iran, so we had to get in there and strike them we had to get in there and strike them we had to get in there and strike them first. Uh, so I was like, okay, well, first. Uh, so I was like, okay, well, first. Uh, so I was like, okay, well, that's at least real. Uh, you've got that's at least real. Uh, you've got that's at least real. Uh, you've got Trump literally is a running monologue Trump literally is a running monologue Trump literally is a running monologue of an id that doesn't understand how to of an id that doesn't understand how to of an id that doesn't understand how to interrupt his own mouth. So that's interrupt his own mouth. So that's interrupt his own mouth. So that's utterly fascinating. Uh, and then you've utterly fascinating. Uh, and then you've utterly fascinating. Uh, and then you've got JD here just saying the thing. And got JD here just saying the thing. And got JD here just saying the thing. And so, yeah, that makes a lot of sense to so, yeah, that makes a lot of sense to so, yeah, that makes a lot of sense to me because if I'm the Trump me because if I'm the Trump me because if I'm the Trump administration and people are coming administration and people are coming administration and people are coming after me, I'm going to be like, what do after me, I'm going to be like, what do after me, I'm going to be like, what do you mean?

I'm not take investment advice from me. I'm not take investment advice from me. I'm not confident in my own like I live in a confident in my own like I live in a confident in my own like I live in a perpetual state of paranoia that I'm perpetual state of paranoia that I'm perpetual state of paranoia that I'm doing something wrong. So, uh please doing something wrong. So, uh please doing something wrong. So, uh please take that with a grain of salt. The take that with a grain of salt. The take that with a grain of salt. The investing especially is so complicated. investing especially is so complicated. investing especially is so complicated. But the way that I approach it is what But the way that I approach it is what But the way that I approach it is what I'll call the like um best practices I'll call the like um best practices I'll call the like um best practices from the greatest investors over from the greatest investors over from the greatest investors over extraordinarily long periods of time. extraordinarily long periods of time. extraordinarily long periods of time. So, it goes something like this. You're So, it goes something like this. You're So, it goes something like this. You're never going to be able to figure out never going to be able to figure out never going to be able to figure out what the future is. So, don't try to what the future is. So, don't try to what the future is. So, don't try to time the market. So, I talk a lot about time the market. So, I talk a lot about time the market. So, I talk a lot about certainly in my deep dives, I talk a lot certainly in my deep dives, I talk a lot certainly in my deep dives, I talk a lot about like the one that I just wrote, about like the one that I just wrote, about like the one that I just wrote, AI, the bubble is almost certainly um AI, the bubble is almost certainly um AI, the bubble is almost certainly um bursting and I'll walk you through bursting and I'll walk you through bursting and I'll walk you through reasons. We might have time to talk reasons. We might have time to talk reasons. We might have time to talk about it today. It's tied into China. Um about it today. It's tied into China. Um about it today. It's tied into China. Um so, there's a lot of risk there. There's so, there's a lot of risk there. There's so, there's a lot of risk there. There's historical reasons to believe that. So, historical reasons to believe that. So, historical reasons to believe that. So, it's like, okay, but I'm not going to it's like, okay, but I'm not going to it's like, okay, but I'm not going to get the timing right. And getting the get the timing right. And getting the get the timing right. And getting the timing wrong is the same as being wrong. timing wrong is the same as being wrong. timing wrong is the same as being wrong. And so, that's one of the things that And so, that's one of the things that And so, that's one of the things that makes this so difficult. So, I never do makes this so difficult. So, I never do makes this so difficult. So, I never do anything on leverage. Like, I could I anything on leverage. Like, I could I anything on leverage. Like, I could I could leverage my life to high heaven could leverage my life to high heaven could leverage my life to high heaven because I have so many uh assets that because I have so many uh assets that because I have so many uh assets that have value, but I don't leverage against have value, but I don't leverage against have value, but I don't leverage against them. And the reason I don't leverage them. And the reason I don't leverage them. And the reason I don't leverage against them is because I fear debt. against them is because I fear debt. against them is because I fear debt. Debt is so dangerous. So, I don't do Debt is so dangerous. So, I don't do Debt is so dangerous. So, I don't do things on debt. Number one, I don't things on debt. Number one, I don't things on debt. Number one, I don't trust myself to get the timing right. trust myself to get the timing right. trust myself to get the timing right. So, I'm planning on 20-year time So, I'm planning on 20-year time So, I'm planning on 20-year time horizons. So, I keep enough cash for horizons. So, I keep enough cash for horizons. So, I keep enough cash for three years of not needing to change my three years of not needing to change my three years of not needing to change my lifestyle. Um, so that whatever crazy lifestyle. Um, so that whatever crazy lifestyle. Um, so that whatever crazy disruption happens in the market, it has disruption happens in the market, it has disruption happens in the market, it has time to settle out or for at least for time to settle out or for at least for time to settle out or for at least for me to find my own personal way around me to find my own personal way around me to find my own personal way around it. Um, that's very important. And I it. Um, that's very important. And I it. Um, that's very important. And I understand that inflation is trying to understand that inflation is trying to understand that inflation is trying to eat my money. So, um, keeping things eat my money. So, um, keeping things eat my money. So, um, keeping things just sitting in cash is is just you just sitting in cash is is just you just sitting in cash is is just you can't do it. Uh, that's the only can't do it. Uh, that's the only can't do it. Uh, that's the only guaranteed way to lose. Remember, in the guaranteed way to lose. Remember, in the guaranteed way to lose. Remember, in the last 6 years alone, 30% of people's last 6 years alone, 30% of people's last 6 years alone, 30% of people's purchasing power has been stolen by the purchasing power has been stolen by the purchasing power has been stolen by the government. So, um I sit with that one a government. So, um I sit with that one a government. So, um I sit with that one a lot. So, that forces me to invest, which lot. So, that forces me to invest, which lot. So, that forces me to invest, which is not what I want to do. I would much is not what I want to do. I would much is not what I want to do. I would much rather be a saver, but that forces me rather be a saver, but that forces me rather be a saver, but that forces me and everybody else to invest, but again, and everybody else to invest, but again, and everybody else to invest, but again, knowing I'm not going to get the timing knowing I'm not going to get the timing knowing I'm not going to get the timing right, then I try to spread myself right, then I try to spread myself right, then I try to spread myself across um economic forces. So, I'm across um economic forces. So, I'm across um economic forces. So, I'm certainly not going to just be in tech, certainly not going to just be in tech, certainly not going to just be in tech, even though right now AI is 42% or even though right now AI is 42% or even though right now AI is 42% or something. 42% of all the returns of the something. 42% of all the returns of the something. 42% of all the returns of the US stock market come from AI. That's so US stock market come from AI. That's so US stock market come from AI. That's so [ __ ] crazy. So even though I could in [ __ ] crazy. So even though I could in [ __ ] crazy. So even though I could in the last couple of years been way up the last couple of years been way up the last couple of years been way up more on that, see the previous rule that more on that, see the previous rule that more on that, see the previous rule that I'm never going to get the timing right. I'm never going to get the timing right. I'm never going to get the timing right. So I don't trust myself to get out of So I don't trust myself to get out of So I don't trust myself to get out of tech and AI before something bad tech and AI before something bad tech and AI before something bad happens. So, I put some in Tekken AI happens. So, I put some in Tekken AI happens. So, I put some in Tekken AI because it's going so well. And who because it's going so well. And who because it's going so well. And who knows, maybe it stays irrational for knows, maybe it stays irrational for knows, maybe it stays irrational for another year, two years, three years, another year, two years, three years, another year, two years, three years, and I want to make all that money and I want to make all that money and I want to make all that money because I have to to protect myself from because I have to to protect myself from because I have to to protect myself from um what's going on with inflation, but um what's going on with inflation, but um what's going on with inflation, but I'm also in things like gold and Bitcoin I'm also in things like gold and Bitcoin I'm also in things like gold and Bitcoin and commodities and just making sure and commodities and just making sure and commodities and just making sure that I'm like, [ __ ] I don't know where that I'm like, [ __ ] I don't know where that I'm like, [ __ ] I don't know where this is going to go. I do not trust this is going to go. I do not trust this is going to go. I do not trust myself to see the future. I know I'm myself to see the future. I know I'm myself to see the future. I know I'm going to be wrong about something. So, going to be wrong about something. So, going to be wrong about something. So, let me just spread across as many let me just spread across as many let me just spread across as many different economic forces as I can and different economic forces as I can and different economic forces as I can and know that that's going to wildly cap my know that that's going to wildly cap my know that that's going to wildly cap my upside, but over a 20-year time horizon, upside, but over a 20-year time horizon, upside, but over a 20-year time horizon, it's going to make me a ton of money. it's going to make me a ton of money. it's going to make me a ton of money. So, that's the way I would think about So, that's the way I would think about So, that's the way I would think about it with the 700K. And then risk dollars, it with the 700K. And then risk dollars, it with the 700K. And then risk dollars, I always bet on myself. So, as you can I always bet on myself. So, as you can I always bet on myself. So, as you can imagine, I get hit up constantly for me imagine, I get hit up constantly for me imagine, I get hit up constantly for me to invest in people's companies. And to invest in people's companies. And to invest in people's companies. And with almost 100% with almost 100% with almost 100% uh consistency, I say no. And the reason uh consistency, I say no. And the reason uh consistency, I say no. And the reason I say no is I'm perfectly willing to put I say no is I'm perfectly willing to put I say no is I'm perfectly willing to put a substantive amount of money at risk, a substantive amount of money at risk, a substantive amount of money at risk, but I'm going to bet on myself. So but I'm going to bet on myself. So but I'm going to bet on myself. So building Kaizen is millions of dollars, building Kaizen is millions of dollars, building Kaizen is millions of dollars, but that's me betting on myself. I trust but that's me betting on myself. I trust but that's me betting on myself. I trust myself to see it through. I trust myself myself to see it through. I trust myself myself to see it through. I trust myself not to give up. I trust myself to have not to give up. I trust myself to have not to give up. I trust myself to have good taste. On and on and on. U so good taste. On and on and on. U so good taste. On and on and on. U so that's why and most entrepreneurs break that's why and most entrepreneurs break that's why and most entrepreneurs break emotionally anyway. And I know that emotionally anyway. And I know that emotionally anyway. And I know that that's not going to happen to me. So that's not going to happen to me. So that's not going to happen to me. So that's how I'd think about it. Now the that's how I'd think about it. Now the that's how I'd think about it. Now the last thing I will say to you because you last thing I will say to you because you last thing I will say to you because you confessed something very early in your confessed something very early in your confessed something very early in your post which is that you're trying to post which is that you're trying to post which is that you're trying to build useful apps but you haven't build useful apps but you haven't build useful apps but you haven't shipped yet. Ship ship ship. So um even shipped yet. Ship ship ship. So um even shipped yet. Ship ship ship. So um even I in the video game space ship two I in the video game space ship two I in the video game space ship two things uh before Kaizen. I think that's things uh before Kaizen. I think that's things uh before Kaizen. I think that's a must. You've got to put something in a must. You've got to put something in a must. You've got to put something in front of people and find out where and front of people and find out where and front of people and find out where and why it falls down. Um so yeah, don't be why it falls down. Um so yeah, don't be why it falls down. Um so yeah, don't be afraid to ship those apps even if you afraid to ship those apps even if you afraid to ship those apps even if you think they're ass. Find out what people think they're ass. Find out what people think they're ass. Find out what people say. Do they ignore them completely and say. Do they ignore them completely and say. Do they ignore them completely and they never even tried it? So you don't they never even tried it? So you don't they never even tried it? So you don't have an app problem. You have a have an app problem. You have a have an app problem. You have a positioning problem. Uh what solution positioning problem. Uh what solution positioning problem.

So imagine everybody that that I feel. So imagine everybody that we're on a boat and the boat is leaking we're on a boat and the boat is leaking we're on a boat and the boat is leaking like crazy and you've got people trying like crazy and you've got people trying like crazy and you've got people trying to bail out the boat with all kinds of to bail out the boat with all kinds of to bail out the boat with all kinds of different buckets and you have somebody different buckets and you have somebody different buckets and you have somebody that's like, you know what we need to that's like, you know what we need to that's like, you know what we need to do? We need to get um these [ __ ] do? We need to get um these [ __ ] do? We need to get um these [ __ ] with their um big buckets. we need to with their um big buckets. we need to with their um big buckets. we need to get their buckets from them so that we get their buckets from them so that we get their buckets from them so that we can do a better job of bailing out this can do a better job of bailing out this can do a better job of bailing out this water. And I'm like, have you gone down water. And I'm like, have you gone down water. And I'm like, have you gone down to the hole and see who's drilling the to the hole and see who's drilling the to the hole and see who's drilling the [ __ ] holes in the hole that's [ __ ] holes in the hole that's [ __ ] holes in the hole that's allowing the water to come in? Uh, and allowing the water to come in? Uh, and allowing the water to come in? Uh, and if more of the people that you're if more of the people that you're if more of the people that you're bringing onto the boat are actually bringing onto the boat are actually bringing onto the boat are actually going down to drill the holes so that going down to drill the holes so that going down to drill the holes so that you can better justify getting the you can better justify getting the you can better justify getting the bucket, that seems like a pretty big bucket, that seems like a pretty big bucket, that seems like a pretty big problem to me. And that's exactly what problem to me. And that's exactly what problem to me. And that's exactly what we have. So, I agree with Drew that we we have. So, I agree with Drew that we we have. So, I agree with Drew that we have stale politics that you can make a have stale politics that you can make a have stale politics that you can make a very easy case for the uni party because very easy case for the uni party because very easy case for the uni party because they're both going to deficit spend. And they're both going to deficit spend. And they're both going to deficit spend. And given that deficit spending is the given that deficit spending is the given that deficit spending is the drilling of the holes in the hole and is drilling of the holes in the hole and is drilling of the holes in the hole and is the reason that your boat is leaking, the reason that your boat is leaking, the reason that your boat is leaking, um, I only want to hear people talk um, I only want to hear people talk um, I only want to hear people talk about how we get people to stop drilling about how we get people to stop drilling about how we get people to stop drilling holes in the [ __ ] boat. And no one's holes in the [ __ ] boat. And no one's holes in the [ __ ] boat. And no one's talking about that. And that's what talking about that. And that's what talking about that. And that's what means this isn't going to work. And not means this isn't going to work. And not means this isn't going to work. And not only that, the we're going to bring only that, the we're going to bring only that, the we're going to bring people in that are going to drill more people in that are going to drill more people in that are going to drill more holes in the boat. And their incentive holes in the boat. And their incentive holes in the boat. And their incentive structure is to drill holes in the boat. structure is to drill holes in the boat. structure is to drill holes in the boat. And there in lies the problem. So when And there in lies the problem. So when And there in lies the problem. So when you bring people on that are DSA you bring people on that are DSA you bring people on that are DSA members, their job is to redistribute members, their job is to redistribute members, their job is to redistribute wealth. And one of the ways they'll do wealth. And one of the ways they'll do wealth. And one of the ways they'll do it is by freezing rents, which is it is by freezing rents, which is it is by freezing rents, which is another hole in the ship. It will make another hole in the ship. It will make another hole in the ship. It will make those properties um impossible to upkeep those properties um impossible to upkeep those properties um impossible to upkeep because they will become unprofitable because they will become unprofitable because they will become unprofitable businesses. Remember that a building is businesses. Remember that a building is businesses. Remember that a building is a business. It will become an a business. It will become an a business. It will become an unprofitable business, which Mom Donnie unprofitable business, which Mom Donnie unprofitable business, which Mom Donnie has already said, well, if these guys has already said, well, if these guys has already said, well, if these guys don't upkeep their buildings, then we're don't upkeep their buildings, then we're don't upkeep their buildings, then we're going to give it in certain going to give it in certain going to give it in certain circumstances. We're going to give that circumstances. We're going to give that circumstances. We're going to give that building to the tenants. uh not make the building to the tenants. uh not make the building to the tenants. uh not make the tenants purchase it or anything like tenants purchase it or anything like tenants purchase it or anything like that. We're just going to give it to that. We're just going to give it to that. We're just going to give it to them. Now, what ends up happening, and them. Now, what ends up happening, and them. Now, what ends up happening, and hey, I don't have to speculate. I know hey, I don't have to speculate. I know hey, I don't have to speculate. I know Sergey Brin, the third wealthiest person Sergey Brin, the third wealthiest person Sergey Brin, the third wealthiest person on planet Earth, was putting money into on planet Earth, was putting money into on planet Earth, was putting money into housing development in New York City. He housing development in New York City. He housing development in New York City. He has now sold his ownership in that has now sold his ownership in that has now sold his ownership in that project for six cents on the dollar to project for six cents on the dollar to project for six cents on the dollar to just get out. So now you have somebody just get out. So now you have somebody just get out. So now you have somebody who's like, "Yeah, I'm just going to who's like, "Yeah, I'm just going to who's like, "Yeah, I'm just going to take a total bath on this. I'm leaving. take a total bath on this. I'm leaving. take a total bath on this. I'm leaving. I can see where this is going from an I can see where this is going from an I can see where this is going from an economic engine perspective. This isn't economic engine perspective. This isn't economic engine perspective. This isn't going to work. Cool. Now we're piecing going to work. Cool. Now we're piecing going to work. Cool. Now we're piecing out." So now the only thing that can out." So now the only thing that can out." So now the only thing that can solve the housing crisis in New York, solve the housing crisis in New York, solve the housing crisis in New York, literally the only thing is supply and literally the only thing is supply and literally the only thing is supply and demand. That's it. There's nothing else. demand. That's it. There's nothing else. demand. That's it. There's nothing else. And so if you increase the demand by And so if you increase the demand by And so if you increase the demand by bringing more people into New York City bringing more people into New York City bringing more people into New York City and you hold steady or decrease the and you hold steady or decrease the and you hold steady or decrease the supply as they are talking about doing, supply as they are talking about doing, supply as they are talking about doing, prices can't come down. So you can rent prices can't come down. So you can rent prices can't come down. So you can rent freeze and you can stop prices from freeze and you can stop prices from freeze and you can stop prices from going up. But what that ends up doing, going up. But what that ends up doing, going up. But what that ends up doing, remember this was confessed by the remember this was confessed by the remember this was confessed by the current leader of Cuba who said trying current leader of Cuba who said trying current leader of Cuba who said trying to control prices from the top down to control prices from the top down to control prices from the top down doesn't work. We now know. He said it doesn't work. We now know. He said it doesn't work. We now know. He said it leads to shortages. So guess what trying leads to shortages. So guess what trying leads to shortages. So guess what trying to control prices on housing is going to to control prices on housing is going to to control prices on housing is going to do? It's going to lead to shortages. Now do? It's going to lead to shortages. Now do? It's going to lead to shortages. Now it leads to shortages for a very it leads to shortages for a very it leads to shortages for a very mappable reason because people like mappable reason because people like mappable reason because people like Sergey Brin leave and now there's no Sergey Brin leave and now there's no Sergey Brin leave and now there's no investment dollars with which to investment dollars with which to investment dollars with which to actually build new housing. So what ends actually build new housing. So what ends actually build new housing. So what ends up happening is people can't afford to up happening is people can't afford to up happening is people can't afford to run those businesses. Therefore, people run those businesses. Therefore, people run those businesses. Therefore, people don't start those businesses, meaning don't start those businesses, meaning don't start those businesses, meaning build new buildings or buy buildings. Um build new buildings or buy buildings. Um build new buildings or buy buildings. Um and so you have less of them. And then and so you have less of them. And then and so you have less of them. And then as it all like turns into dilapidated as it all like turns into dilapidated as it all like turns into dilapidated [ __ ] remember this experiment's already [ __ ] remember this experiment's already [ __ ] remember this experiment's already been run in New York. Literally already been run in New York. Literally already been run in New York. Literally already been run in New York City, the very been run in New York City, the very been run in New York City, the very place trying to run it again. What was place trying to run it again. What was place trying to run it again. What was the outcome? You had building owners the outcome? You had building owners the outcome? You had building owners burning their own buildings because they burning their own buildings because they burning their own buildings because they couldn't afford the upkeep. So it was couldn't afford the upkeep. So it was couldn't afford the upkeep. So it was just better to collect the insurance just better to collect the insurance just better to collect the insurance money. So the Bronx ends up looking money. So the Bronx ends up looking money. So the Bronx ends up looking like, I'm not kidding, a war zone. It like, I'm not kidding, a war zone. It like, I'm not kidding, a war zone. It looked totally third world, looked looked totally third world, looked looked totally third world, looked bombed out, absolute insanity. And guess bombed out, absolute insanity. And guess bombed out, absolute insanity. And guess how they got out of that? They how they got out of that? They how they got out of that? They deregulated. They spurred building. They deregulated. They spurred building. They deregulated. They spurred building. They They did all the things that we ought to They did all the things that we ought to They did all the things that we ought to be doing but aren't doing. We're doing be doing but aren't doing. We're doing be doing but aren't doing. We're doing the exact opposite. So, we have this the exact opposite. So, we have this the exact opposite. So, we have this tremendous problem. We've got people tremendous problem. We've got people tremendous problem. We've got people just down there drilling holes in the just down there drilling holes in the just down there drilling holes in the boat. Those people can be named. They boat. Those people can be named. They boat. Those people can be named. They are the politicians who vote for deficit are the politicians who vote for deficit are the politicians who vote for deficit spending on both sides. and the spending on both sides. and the spending on both sides. and the investment bankers who created the investment bankers who created the investment bankers who created the central banking system which allows the central banking system which allows the central banking system which allows the government to deficit spend and just tax government to deficit spend and just tax government to deficit spend and just tax you invisibly with inflation. And so if you invisibly with inflation. And so if you invisibly with inflation. And so if you want to know how much you're being you want to know how much you're being you want to know how much you're being taxed, just look at how much the taxed, just look at how much the taxed, just look at how much the government is spending. That's how much government is spending. That's how much government is spending. That's how much you're being taxed. No if ends or buts. you're being taxed. No if ends or buts. you're being taxed. No if ends or buts. There's no like real deficit. It's just There's no like real deficit. It's just There's no like real deficit. It's just that is the tax and they do it via that is the tax and they do it via that is the tax and they do it via inflation. So inflation. So inflation. So we have a system that has let people we have a system that has let people we have a system that has let people down, is rigged against them, is down, is rigged against them, is down, is rigged against them, is creating an emotional response of creating an emotional response of creating an emotional response of anxiety that's being transmuted into anxiety that's being transmuted into anxiety that's being transmuted into anger. So yeah, of course you're going anger. So yeah, of course you're going anger. So yeah, of course you're going to vote out people that are um not doing to vote out people that are um not doing to vote out people that are um not doing a good job of solving the problem. But a good job of solving the problem. But a good job of solving the problem. But now the energy is in voting the people now the energy is in voting the people now the energy is in voting the people that will hollow it out even faster, that will hollow it out even faster, that will hollow it out even faster, create more holes, and sink the boat. It create more holes, and sink the boat. It create more holes, and sink the boat. It is [ __ ] crazy. And if you spend the is [ __ ] crazy. And if you spend the is [ __ ] crazy. And if you spend the amount of time that I've spent amount of time that I've spent amount of time that I've spent researching the economy, you're going to researching the economy, you're going to researching the economy, you're going to come to the same conclusion. And so come to the same conclusion. And so come to the same conclusion. And so you're going to look at it and be like, you're going to look at it and be like, you're going to look at it and be like, uhoh, this this mechanistically, uhoh, this this mechanistically, uhoh, this this mechanistically, remember, mechanistically, it won't remember, mechanistically, it won't remember, mechanistically, it won't work. It's not like um you can take an work. It's not like um you can take an work. It's not like um you can take an internal combustion engine and pour internal combustion engine and pour internal combustion engine and pour sugar into it and one time that makes sugar into it and one time that makes sugar into it and one time that makes things better. It's never going to make things better. It's never going to make things better. It's never going to make things better. So, it is always things better. So, it is always things better. So, it is always mechanistically going to make it worse. mechanistically going to make it worse. mechanistically going to make it worse. And if you want to fix it, you've either And if you want to fix it, you've either And if you want to fix it, you've either got to build a new engine that runs on got to build a new engine that runs on got to build a new engine that runs on sugar and then okay. Uh but so far that sugar and then okay. Uh but so far that sugar and then okay. Uh but so far that that defies the laws of physics. Um so that defies the laws of physics. Um so that defies the laws of physics. Um so what we are doing is economic suicide. what we are doing is economic suicide. what we are doing is economic suicide. So I get why people feel that way. I get So I get why people feel that way. I get So I get why people feel that way. I get why they want to do it. But it doesn't why they want to do it. But it doesn't why they want to do it. But it doesn't change the cause and effect reality that change the cause and effect reality that change the cause and effect reality that it's economic suicide. it's economic suicide. it's economic suicide. And this is also on the back of the And this is also on the back of the And this is also on the back of the contested balance budget that Mandi contested balance budget that Mandi contested balance budget that Mandi proposed. Um, you said you have a deep proposed. Um, you said you have a deep proposed. Um, you said you have a deep dive brewing or you're doing a deep dive dive brewing or you're doing a deep dive dive brewing or you're doing a deep dive into the budget. into the budget. into the budget. >> Yeah, I'm doing a personal bit of >> Yeah, I'm doing a personal bit of >> Yeah, I'm doing a personal bit of research. So, um, I never want to research. So, um, I never want to research. So, um, I never want to interface with the world emotionally. I interface with the world emotionally. I interface with the world emotionally. I know that I'm at my most high risk when know that I'm at my most high risk when know that I'm at my most high risk when it comes to mom Donnie because he does it comes to mom Donnie because he does it comes to mom Donnie because he does elicit extreme frustration in me. Uh, elicit extreme frustration in me. Uh, elicit extreme frustration in me. Uh, and so to avoid being blinded because I and so to avoid being blinded because I and so to avoid being blinded because I map you as an intelligent, sincere map you as an intelligent, sincere map you as an intelligent, sincere person when you're you're feeling good person when you're you're feeling good person when you're you're feeling good so far about him balancing the budget. I so far about him balancing the budget. I so far about him balancing the budget. I don't think you're getting out over your don't think you're getting out over your don't think you're getting out over your skis, but you have repeated many times, skis, but you have repeated many times, skis, but you have repeated many times, hey, he has balanced the budget. So, I'm hey, he has balanced the budget. So, I'm hey, he has balanced the budget. So, I'm like, all right, let me look at what's like, all right, let me look at what's like, all right, let me look at what's really going on. Now, as I explore what really going on. Now, as I explore what really going on. Now, as I explore what mom Donnie is doing, um, the balancing mom Donnie is doing, um, the balancing mom Donnie is doing, um, the balancing of the budget is um, not unique to him of the budget is um, not unique to him of the budget is um, not unique to him in any way. So the budget has is legally in any way. So the budget has is legally in any way. So the budget has is legally it must be balanced. So uh Adams has it must be balanced. So uh Adams has it must be balanced. So uh Adams has done it, Delasio has done it. Everybody done it, Delasio has done it. Everybody done it, Delasio has done it. Everybody before him has done it. Everybody's before him has done it. Everybody's before him has done it. Everybody's gotten to the same place, whatever. June gotten to the same place, whatever. June gotten to the same place, whatever. June 30th, they have a budget that gets 30th, they have a budget that gets 30th, they have a budget that gets signed off on. Literally everybody with signed off on. Literally everybody with signed off on. Literally everybody with no exceptions. So okay, that that's not no exceptions. So okay, that that's not no exceptions. So okay, that that's not a for or against. Now Manny did a for or against. Now Manny did a for or against. Now Manny did something that's really great and I um something that's really great and I um something that's really great and I um very much applaud him. So, Adams was very much applaud him. So, Adams was very much applaud him. So, Adams was actually hiding budget shortfalls and um actually hiding budget shortfalls and um actually hiding budget shortfalls and um he was using apparently legitimate means he was using apparently legitimate means he was using apparently legitimate means to do it, but it's one of those like to do it, but it's one of those like to do it, but it's one of those like just because you can do it doesn't mean just because you can do it doesn't mean just because you can do it doesn't mean you should do it. And so, Mom Donnie you should do it. And so, Mom Donnie you should do it. And so, Mom Donnie really is bringing a level of really is bringing a level of really is bringing a level of transparency that I think is awesome. transparency that I think is awesome. transparency that I think is awesome. And so, kudos to him on that. I don't And so, kudos to him on that. I don't And so, kudos to him on that. I don't think there's any reason for anybody, no think there's any reason for anybody, no think there's any reason for anybody, no matter whether you like him or hate him, matter whether you like him or hate him, matter whether you like him or hate him, to take anyway anything away from that. to take anyway anything away from that. to take anyway anything away from that. And so, I want to see more people doing And so, I want to see more people doing And so, I want to see more people doing that. Like, let's keep that train that. Like, let's keep that train that. Like, let's keep that train rolling. So I was very impressed to rolling. So I was very impressed to rolling. So I was very impressed to discover that um when you look at uh the discover that um when you look at uh the discover that um when you look at uh the amount that he has increased the amount that he has increased the amount that he has increased the spending in New York at least at this spending in New York at least at this spending in New York at least at this stage in my looking into it it's not by stage in my looking into it it's not by stage in my looking into it it's not by much few billion dollars but against a much few billion dollars but against a much few billion dollars but against a $125 billion budget it's not crazy. The $125 billion budget it's not crazy. The $125 billion budget it's not crazy. The um I mean listen you can make an um I mean listen you can make an um I mean listen you can make an argument that New York's budget is argument that New York's budget is argument that New York's budget is already so overblown but that's not just already so overblown but that's not just already so overblown but that's not just a mom Donnie thing. I don't want to put a mom Donnie thing. I don't want to put a mom Donnie thing. I don't want to put on M Donnie anything that doesn't on M Donnie anything that doesn't on M Donnie anything that doesn't actually belong on M Donnie. So much of actually belong on M Donnie. So much of actually belong on M Donnie. So much of what Mom Donnie is dealing with is just what Mom Donnie is dealing with is just what Mom Donnie is dealing with is just decades of one party rule. They've been decades of one party rule. They've been decades of one party rule. They've been doing bigger and bigger budgets with no doing bigger and bigger budgets with no doing bigger and bigger budgets with no end in sight. Like each person just end in sight. Like each person just end in sight. Like each person just keeps making the budget bigger. So has keeps making the budget bigger. So has keeps making the budget bigger. So has Mom Donnie contributed to making the Mom Donnie contributed to making the Mom Donnie contributed to making the budget bigger? Yes. But has he like budget bigger? Yes. But has he like budget bigger? Yes. But has he like thrown it into the trees? He is not the thrown it into the trees? He is not the thrown it into the trees? He is not the one responsible for uh the original 12 one responsible for uh the original 12 one responsible for uh the original 12 billion shortfall. That was something billion shortfall. That was something billion shortfall. That was something that Adams had flagged. It comes from that Adams had flagged. It comes from that Adams had flagged. It comes from Democratic policies, but nonetheless, Democratic policies, but nonetheless, Democratic policies, but nonetheless, don't don't put that on mom Donnie. Now, don't don't put that on mom Donnie. Now, don't don't put that on mom Donnie. Now, it is very telling that he has not yet it is very telling that he has not yet it is very telling that he has not yet included his signature um policies in included his signature um policies in included his signature um policies in that budget. So, he's done a little bit that budget. So, he's done a little bit that budget. So, he's done a little bit for like um daycare for kids, but I for like um daycare for kids, but I for like um daycare for kids, but I think it rings in at like 1.2 billion or think it rings in at like 1.2 billion or think it rings in at like 1.2 billion or something like that. Again, just as a something like that. Again, just as a something like that. Again, just as a percentage of the budget, it just isn't percentage of the budget, it just isn't percentage of the budget, it just isn't that big. But some of his big signature that big. But some of his big signature that big. But some of his big signature policies like free buses and grocery policies like free buses and grocery policies like free buses and grocery stores and all that, it's just not in stores and all that, it's just not in stores and all that, it's just not in the budget. So, um, he's not doing that the budget. So, um, he's not doing that the budget. So, um, he's not doing that yet. Now, presumably, if he adds that, yet. Now, presumably, if he adds that, yet. Now, presumably, if he adds that, you're just going to see he's going to you're just going to see he's going to you're just going to see he's going to keep growing the budget over and over. keep growing the budget over and over. keep growing the budget over and over. Now, the real thing that I'm going to be Now, the real thing that I'm going to be Now, the real thing that I'm going to be spending more time on, which I don't spending more time on, which I don't spending more time on, which I don't want to call a smoking gun because it want to call a smoking gun because it want to call a smoking gun because it right now I don't have reason to believe right now I don't have reason to believe right now I don't have reason to believe that it is a smoking gun, but it is um a that it is a smoking gun, but it is um a that it is a smoking gun, but it is um a thing that people need to pay attention thing that people need to pay attention thing that people need to pay attention to and it will become the thing that if to and it will become the thing that if to and it will become the thing that if mom Donnie keeps going down that path, mom Donnie keeps going down that path, mom Donnie keeps going down that path, and he may not, he may have learned his and he may not, he may have learned his and he may not, he may have learned his lesson over something I'm going to lesson over something I'm going to lesson over something I'm going to explain in a second, but if he keeps explain in a second, but if he keeps explain in a second, but if he keeps going down the following path, this will going down the following path, this will going down the following path, this will be where uh problems end up getting be where uh problems end up getting be where uh problems end up getting created by DSA policies. and that is created by DSA policies. and that is created by DSA policies. and that is that when he presented his early that when he presented his early that when he presented his early preliminary budget back in February, he preliminary budget back in February, he preliminary budget back in February, he immediately took a credit rating hit immediately took a credit rating hit immediately took a credit rating hit based on his proposals because what he based on his proposals because what he based on his proposals because what he did was he was eating into things that did was he was eating into things that did was he was eating into things that the credit rated a credit rating the credit rated a credit rating the credit rated a credit rating agencies consider like no-go zones. So, agencies consider like no-go zones. So, agencies consider like no-go zones. So, he's talking about shrinking the um he's talking about shrinking the um he's talking about shrinking the um amount of cushion that they have, which amount of cushion that they have, which amount of cushion that they have, which by the way, Democrats have been doing uh by the way, Democrats have been doing uh by the way, Democrats have been doing uh increasingly, but he was pushing it even increasingly, but he was pushing it even increasingly, but he was pushing it even farther. So, they didn't like that. Uh farther. So, they didn't like that. Uh farther. So, they didn't like that. Uh and then he was also, I forget the exact and then he was also, I forget the exact and then he was also, I forget the exact places that he was dipping like pension places that he was dipping like pension places that he was dipping like pension funds and some other things. People were funds and some other things. People were funds and some other things. People were like, "Whoa, those are normally like, "Whoa, those are normally like, "Whoa, those are normally considered things that we don't touch. considered things that we don't touch. considered things that we don't touch. Those are signs of danger, so we don't Those are signs of danger, so we don't Those are signs of danger, so we don't like that." Now, he ended up backing off like that." Now, he ended up backing off like that." Now, he ended up backing off of those things. So, he pulled them out. of those things. So, he pulled them out. of those things. So, he pulled them out. Now, if that's a shrewd politician Now, if that's a shrewd politician Now, if that's a shrewd politician realizing, okay, listen, I understand realizing, okay, listen, I understand realizing, okay, listen, I understand where we interface with the economy and where we interface with the economy and where we interface with the economy and I just can't go that far, right? So, he I just can't go that far, right? So, he I just can't go that far, right? So, he may end up being a politician that may end up being a politician that may end up being a politician that champions where he wants things to go, champions where he wants things to go, champions where he wants things to go, which I'll continue to rail against. But which I'll continue to rail against. But which I'll continue to rail against. But to Drew's point in terms of what he's to Drew's point in terms of what he's to Drew's point in terms of what he's deploying into the budget right now, he deploying into the budget right now, he deploying into the budget right now, he put his hand on the stove, he got put his hand on the stove, he got put his hand on the stove, he got burned, and he pulled his hand back. burned, and he pulled his hand back. burned, and he pulled his hand back. That's a very reasonable way to react to That's a very reasonable way to react to That's a very reasonable way to react to that. So when Moody's and the other that. So when Moody's and the other that. So when Moody's and the other agencies said don't [ __ ] do that, uh agencies said don't [ __ ] do that, uh agencies said don't [ __ ] do that, uh he stopped doing that. Now another he stopped doing that. Now another he stopped doing that. Now another thing, but again this is not unique to thing, but again this is not unique to thing, but again this is not unique to Mam Donnie. You got a lot of people Mam Donnie. You got a lot of people Mam Donnie. You got a lot of people doing this that have been doing it. So, doing this that have been doing it. So, doing this that have been doing it. So, this is more an indictment of Democratic this is more an indictment of Democratic this is more an indictment of Democratic rule uh without a real challenger from rule uh without a real challenger from rule uh without a real challenger from Republicans Republicans Republicans that they have been using basically like that they have been using basically like that they have been using basically like budget tricks and a growing economy to budget tricks and a growing economy to budget tricks and a growing economy to hide the fact that they're just spending hide the fact that they're just spending hide the fact that they're just spending more and more and more money, which I more and more and more money, which I more and more and more money, which I would say is entirely reckless, would say is entirely reckless, would say is entirely reckless, completely insane. And when you look at completely insane. And when you look at completely insane. And when you look at something like Florida, uh they're doing something like Florida, uh they're doing something like Florida, uh they're doing the exact opposite. So, they're reducing the exact opposite. So, they're reducing the exact opposite. So, they're reducing the tax burden. They're trying to limit the tax burden. They're trying to limit the tax burden. They're trying to limit the scope of government. All things I the scope of government. All things I the scope of government. All things I consider very wise if you're trying to consider very wise if you're trying to consider very wise if you're trying to get to a thriving middle class. Okay. get to a thriving middle class. Okay. get to a thriving middle class. Okay. So, Mom Dani is doing the exact opposite So, Mom Dani is doing the exact opposite So, Mom Dani is doing the exact opposite in the way that he's going after this. in the way that he's going after this. in the way that he's going after this. So, he's using a lot of one-time things, So, he's using a lot of one-time things, So, he's using a lot of one-time things, deferring certain payments, um using deferring certain payments, um using deferring certain payments, um using windfalls that aren't going to be windfalls that aren't going to be windfalls that aren't going to be repeated next year. So, you've got him repeated next year. So, you've got him repeated next year. So, you've got him coming in already, making the budget coming in already, making the budget coming in already, making the budget bigger, only closing closing the gap on bigger, only closing closing the gap on bigger, only closing closing the gap on one-time payments and push offs and one-time payments and push offs and one-time payments and push offs and things like that things like that things like that and not having yet put in his signature and not having yet put in his signature and not having yet put in his signature policies. So, we won't be able to see policies. So, we won't be able to see policies. So, we won't be able to see the results of this year's budget until the results of this year's budget until the results of this year's budget until this time next year. So, keep that in this time next year. So, keep that in this time next year. So, keep that in mind. Uh, so that's when and it will be mind. Uh, so that's when and it will be mind. Uh, so that's when and it will be balanced, by the way, because Cal U New balanced, by the way, because Cal U New balanced, by the way, because Cal U New York it it's illegal to not. So they'll York it it's illegal to not. So they'll York it it's illegal to not. So they'll end up having to rob Peter to pay Paul end up having to rob Peter to pay Paul end up having to rob Peter to pay Paul and all that stuff. Uh but it will be and all that stuff. Uh but it will be and all that stuff. Uh but it will be balanced. It's not like I don't think balanced. It's not like I don't think balanced. It's not like I don't think he's going to balance the budget. It he's going to balance the budget. It he's going to balance the budget. It becomes a question of what method is he becomes a question of what method is he becomes a question of what method is he using to balance the budget and are we using to balance the budget and are we using to balance the budget and are we just creating this bigger and bigger gap just creating this bigger and bigger gap just creating this bigger and bigger gap such that we start moving towards that such that we start moving towards that such that we start moving towards that moment where it's like okay we can't do moment where it's like okay we can't do moment where it's like okay we can't do these things anymore. We've got to start these things anymore. We've got to start these things anymore. We've got to start cutting now we're into austerity and cutting now we're into austerity and cutting now we're into austerity and what ends up happening that's a bigger what ends up happening that's a bigger what ends up happening that's a bigger question. So that's I think a pretty question. So that's I think a pretty question. So that's I think a pretty evenhanded lay of the land in terms of evenhanded lay of the land in terms of evenhanded lay of the land in terms of what Mani is doing. Uh he's increasing what Mani is doing. Uh he's increasing what Mani is doing. Uh he's increasing the budget gap, he does not have um the the budget gap, he does not have um the the budget gap, he does not have um the depth of recurring cuts that he will depth of recurring cuts that he will depth of recurring cuts that he will need to not every year come into the need to not every year come into the need to not every year come into the same kind of crisis. So if this year he same kind of crisis. So if this year he same kind of crisis. So if this year he came in with 12 billion, next year of a came in with 12 billion, next year of a came in with 12 billion, next year of a gap, next year he's actually going to gap, next year he's actually going to gap, next year he's actually going to come in with a larger budget gap. And so come in with a larger budget gap. And so come in with a larger budget gap. And so he's also, by the way, counting on the he's also, by the way, counting on the he's also, by the way, counting on the ability to get more tax out of the ability to get more tax out of the ability to get more tax out of the wealthy is what he's always saying, but wealthy is what he's always saying, but wealthy is what he's always saying, but we don't know that that's actually going we don't know that that's actually going we don't know that that's actually going to pan out. So you've got people like to pan out. So you've got people like to pan out. So you've got people like Sergey Brin leaving. You've got people Sergey Brin leaving. You've got people Sergey Brin leaving. You've got people like Ken Griffin um talking about like Ken Griffin um talking about like Ken Griffin um talking about leaving. We'll see if he actually does. leaving. We'll see if he actually does. leaving. We'll see if he actually does. There was another gigantic company, There was another gigantic company, There was another gigantic company, Apollo, I think. And Apollo has said, Apollo, I think. And Apollo has said, Apollo, I think. And Apollo has said, "We're now building our second flagship "We're now building our second flagship "We're now building our second flagship headquarters." and I can't remember if headquarters." and I can't remember if headquarters." and I can't remember if it's Texas or uh Florida, but we're it's Texas or uh Florida, but we're it's Texas or uh Florida, but we're building a second flagship, not a building a second flagship, not a building a second flagship, not a satellite office, a flagship. So, you satellite office, a flagship. So, you satellite office, a flagship. So, you can imagine that over the next however can imagine that over the next however can imagine that over the next however many years, they're going to migrate a many years, they're going to migrate a many years, they're going to migrate a certain number of their employees or or certain number of their employees or or certain number of their employees or or at least the growth into another region. at least the growth into another region. at least the growth into another region. And so, as you do that, you now have a And so, as you do that, you now have a And so, as you do that, you now have a weakening tax base. So, everything that weakening tax base. So, everything that weakening tax base. So, everything that Mom Donnie is doing is expecting the Mom Donnie is doing is expecting the Mom Donnie is doing is expecting the good times to keep rolling. And they may good times to keep rolling. And they may good times to keep rolling. And they may or may not do that. So the reason that or may not do that. So the reason that or may not do that. So the reason that the credit rated agencies are more the credit rated agencies are more the credit rated agencies are more skeptical of Mombi is because of things skeptical of Mombi is because of things skeptical of Mombi is because of things that he's future signaling. So, if those that he's future signaling. So, if those that he's future signaling. So, if those things come to pass and he keeps making things come to pass and he keeps making things come to pass and he keeps making the budget bigger and we find ourselves the budget bigger and we find ourselves the budget bigger and we find ourselves with a shrinking tax base in New York, with a shrinking tax base in New York, with a shrinking tax base in New York, now the Mam Donnie House of Cards falls. now the Mam Donnie House of Cards falls. now the Mam Donnie House of Cards falls. And I call it a House of Cards because And I call it a House of Cards because And I call it a House of Cards because of all the one-time things that it's of all the one-time things that it's of all the one-time things that it's counting on, all the growth that it's counting on, all the growth that it's counting on, all the growth that it's counting on uh when we're in a very counting on uh when we're in a very counting on uh when we're in a very fragile economic position compared to a fragile economic position compared to a fragile economic position compared to a more robust process that we're seeing in more robust process that we're seeing in more robust process that we're seeing in Florida play out where they're trying to Florida play out where they're trying to Florida play out where they're trying to reduce budgets. They're trying to reduce budgets. They're trying to reduce budgets.

And I think that they really do want And I think that they really do want And I think that they really do want that. And I think that they want that that. And I think that they want that that. And I think that they want that because they're incentivized to want because they're incentivized to want because they're incentivized to want that. We, as the buying public, however, that. We, as the buying public, however, that. We, as the buying public, however, are incentivized to want open source. are incentivized to want open source. are incentivized to want open source. We're incentivized to want the price to We're incentivized to want the price to We're incentivized to want the price to be low. We're incentivized to want be low. We're incentivized to want be low. We're incentivized to want competition. And so all of this now gets competition. And so all of this now gets competition. And so all of this now gets very complicated. So that's end of that very complicated. So that's end of that very complicated. So that's end of that chapter in the book. New chapter. chapter in the book. New chapter. chapter in the book. New chapter. Xihinping understands that the US Xihinping understands that the US Xihinping understands that the US economy is on very fragile ground economy is on very fragile ground economy is on very fragile ground because the cost of the infrastructure because the cost of the infrastructure because the cost of the infrastructure buildout of AI is extraordinary. It it's buildout of AI is extraordinary. It it's buildout of AI is extraordinary. It it's I don't know that it's truly I don't know that it's truly I don't know that it's truly unprecedented in um real terms meaning unprecedented in um real terms meaning unprecedented in um real terms meaning inflation adjusted but it might be. So inflation adjusted but it might be. So inflation adjusted but it might be. So it's very possible that this is the most it's very possible that this is the most it's very possible that this is the most expensive infrastructure we've ever expensive infrastructure we've ever expensive infrastructure we've ever taken on as a human civilization. Okay. taken on as a human civilization. Okay. taken on as a human civilization. Okay. So it it's certainly in competition for So it it's certainly in competition for So it it's certainly in competition for that. So as you let that sit out there, that. So as you let that sit out there, that. So as you let that sit out there, it's like, okay, you've had to bring on it's like, okay, you've had to bring on it's like, okay, you've had to bring on all this debt. Now, that puts you in a all this debt. Now, that puts you in a all this debt. Now, that puts you in a weakened position given how much of your weakened position given how much of your weakened position given how much of your total uh stock market hinges on growth total uh stock market hinges on growth total uh stock market hinges on growth in AI. So that's in Xinping's mind. Then in AI. So that's in Xinping's mind. Then in AI. So that's in Xinping's mind. Then he goes, well, you guys have been he goes, well, you guys have been he goes, well, you guys have been denying us chips. So you've stopped us denying us chips. So you've stopped us denying us chips. So you've stopped us from just competing head-to-head on from just competing head-to-head on from just competing head-to-head on frontier models. So how are we going to frontier models. So how are we going to frontier models. So how are we going to [ __ ] you up? You're our biggest [ __ ] you up? You're our biggest [ __ ] you up? You're our biggest geopolitical rival. What are we going to geopolitical rival. What are we going to geopolitical rival. What are we going to do to weaken you? Because if we see a do to weaken you? Because if we see a do to weaken you? Because if we see a kill shot with your economy, we're going kill shot with your economy, we're going kill shot with your economy, we're going to take it. Okay. Well, the way that we to take it. Okay. Well, the way that we to take it. Okay. Well, the way that we can do that is open source. Yeah, but can do that is open source. Yeah, but can do that is open source. Yeah, but how do we make the open source models how do we make the open source models how do we make the open source models good enough to compete? And the strategy good enough to compete? And the strategy good enough to compete? And the strategy that they're using is something called that they're using is something called that they're using is something called distillation. And that's where they distillation. And that's where they distillation. And that's where they create and they this has all been create and they this has all been create and they this has all been documented presented to the white house documented presented to the white house documented presented to the white house and congress uh that they have been and congress uh that they have been and congress uh that they have been doing exactly this creating tens of doing exactly this creating tens of doing exactly this creating tens of thousands of fake accounts running tens thousands of fake accounts running tens thousands of fake accounts running tens of millions of queries against open AI of millions of queries against open AI of millions of queries against open AI and anthropics so cloud and chat GPT and and anthropics so cloud and chat GPT and and anthropics so cloud and chat GPT and based on those millions of responses based on those millions of responses based on those millions of responses that they get from those models they're that they get from those models they're that they get from those models they're able to take a really cheaply built able to take a really cheaply built able to take a really cheaply built model and then just get all the weights model and then just get all the weights model and then just get all the weights based on the answers that they get. It's based on the answers that they get. It's based on the answers that they get. It's totally brilliant. Every company does it totally brilliant. Every company does it totally brilliant. Every company does it against their own models so that they against their own models so that they against their own models so that they can distill their own models down, but can distill their own models down, but can distill their own models down, but this obviously should be illegal to do this obviously should be illegal to do this obviously should be illegal to do against another company. And so China against another company. And so China against another company. And so China doing this. I don't know that it's doing this. I don't know that it's doing this. I don't know that it's actually legal at this po illegal at actually legal at this po illegal at actually legal at this po illegal at this point, but it should be in my this point, but it should be in my this point, but it should be in my opinion and we'll find out whether it opinion and we'll find out whether it opinion and we'll find out whether it already is. But they're doing that which already is. But they're doing that which already is. But they're doing that which allows them to build these incredibly allows them to build these incredibly allows them to build these incredibly cheap models like DeepSeek and Moonshot cheap models like DeepSeek and Moonshot cheap models like DeepSeek and Moonshot and then put them back as opensource and then put them back as opensource and then put them back as opensource models in the US. And we're already models in the US. And we're already models in the US. And we're already seeing companies like Airbnb and seeing companies like Airbnb and seeing companies like Airbnb and Coinbase making the switch because right Coinbase making the switch because right Coinbase making the switch because right now AI is so expensive, especially now AI is so expensive, especially now AI is so expensive, especially compared to what you get for it, that compared to what you get for it, that compared to what you get for it, that it's like companies are, bro, we can't it's like companies are, bro, we can't it's like companies are, bro, we can't do this. I think it was Uber that spent do this. I think it was Uber that spent do this. I think it was Uber that spent their entire year's allocation, AI their entire year's allocation, AI their entire year's allocation, AI allocation by April. So way off the allocation by April. So way off the allocation by April. So way off the mark. And now you get these open source mark. And now you get these open source mark. And now you get these open source ones coming along saying, "Hey, you can ones coming along saying, "Hey, you can ones coming along saying, "Hey, you can turn a hundred million dollar expense turn a hundred million dollar expense turn a hundred million dollar expense into a $5 million expense." Obviously, into a $5 million expense." Obviously, into a $5 million expense." Obviously, given that these open AI models or given that these open AI models or given that these open AI models or sorry, these opensource models are sorry, these opensource models are sorry, these opensource models are coming within a couple points on the coming within a couple points on the coming within a couple points on the standardized AI benchmarks, of course, standardized AI benchmarks, of course, standardized AI benchmarks, of course, people are going to make the switch, people are going to make the switch, people are going to make the switch, dude. You'd be insane not to. So now the dude. You'd be insane not to. So now the dude. You'd be insane not to. So now the US government is in this very weird US government is in this very weird US government is in this very weird position of oh [ __ ] we're going to have position of oh [ __ ] we're going to have position of oh [ __ ] we're going to have to defend this industry because it is to defend this industry because it is to defend this industry because it is truly systemically important for there truly systemically important for there truly systemically important for there are more reasons having to do with debt are more reasons having to do with debt are more reasons having to do with debt distribution, running the 2008 playbook, distribution, running the 2008 playbook, distribution, running the 2008 playbook, all of this. I've done a deep dive on all of this. I've done a deep dive on all of this. I've done a deep dive on this. It's coming out on Tuesday. Watch this. It's coming out on Tuesday. Watch this. It's coming out on Tuesday. Watch it. This [ __ ] should give you pause. It it. This [ __ ] should give you pause. It it. This [ __ ] should give you pause. It should definitely inform your investing should definitely inform your investing should definitely inform your investing strategy, strategy, strategy, but we're going to have to defend this but we're going to have to defend this but we're going to have to defend this market. AI is potentially winner take market. AI is potentially winner take market. AI is potentially winner take all. So now, how does the Trump all. So now, how does the Trump all. So now, how does the Trump administration and Congress, how do they administration and Congress, how do they administration and Congress, how do they come in and defend this industry without come in and defend this industry without come in and defend this industry without creating regulatory capture? And that is creating regulatory capture? And that is creating regulatory capture? And that is going to be the question that we have to going to be the question that we have to going to be the question that we have to answer. And the bad news is we have a answer. And the bad news is we have a answer. And the bad news is we have a really terrible history of really terrible history of really terrible history of overp protection, creating regulatory overp protection, creating regulatory overp protection, creating regulatory capture, the industry calcifying, and capture, the industry calcifying, and capture, the industry calcifying, and becoming worse for the end consumer. So becoming worse for the end consumer. So becoming worse for the end consumer. So this one is going to get weird. This is this one is going to get weird. This is this one is going to get weird. This is not going to be easy, but it is insanely not going to be easy, but it is insanely not going to be easy, but it is insanely important because AI could be win or important because AI could be win or important because AI could be win or take all. So, yeah, we can't [ __ ] around take all. So, yeah, we can't [ __ ] around take all. So, yeah, we can't [ __ ] around with this one. with this one. with this one. It So, I brought up that BYD example It So, I brought up that BYD example It So, I brought up that BYD example because I think that's the closest because I think that's the closest because I think that's the closest comparison where I would call the car comparison where I would call the car comparison where I would call the car industry regulatory capture. There's industry regulatory capture. There's industry regulatory capture. There's only four big manufacturers. It's hard only four big manufacturers. It's hard only four big manufacturers. It's hard to start a new car company. BYD is not to start a new car company. BYD is not to start a new car company. BYD is not allowed to operate in the US. Do you allowed to operate in the US. Do you allowed to operate in the US. Do you think we're gonna have that same? It think we're gonna have that same? It think we're gonna have that same? It seems at least on paper that that is the seems at least on paper that that is the seems at least on paper that that is the playbook that AI is trying to capture. playbook that AI is trying to capture. playbook that AI is trying to capture. There's only four companies. You can't There's only four companies. You can't There's only four companies. You can't start a new um open source L AI LLM. start a new um open source L AI LLM. start a new um open source L AI LLM. International corporations have to go International corporations have to go International corporations have to go through a bunch of loopholes, higher through a bunch of loopholes, higher through a bunch of loopholes, higher tariffs. So, if you wanted the Deep tariffs. So, if you wanted the Deep tariffs. So, if you wanted the Deep Seek, you'll have to pay $30 a month Seek, you'll have to pay $30 a month Seek, you'll have to pay $30 a month instead of the Open AI20 or whatever instead of the Open AI20 or whatever instead of the Open AI20 or whatever like that. Do you think that would like that. Do you think that would like that. Do you think that would probably be something that they're probably be something that they're probably be something that they're trying to get implemented or trying to get implemented or trying to get implemented or >> That will be one of the requests put >> That will be one of the requests put >> That will be one of the requests put forward for sure. Something like that. forward for sure. Something like that. forward for sure. Something like that. um it was smart to keep BYD out of um it was smart to keep BYD out of um it was smart to keep BYD out of America. It's bad for the consumer. It's America. It's bad for the consumer. It's America. It's bad for the consumer. It's great for the middle class. So, this is great for the middle class. So, this is great for the middle class. So, this is one of those where um you when you look one of those where um you when you look one of those where um you when you look at when Elon tried to come in to the car at when Elon tried to come in to the car at when Elon tried to come in to the car manufacturing space, he ran up against manufacturing space, he ran up against manufacturing space, he ran up against some of the regulatory capture and it some of the regulatory capture and it some of the regulatory capture and it was just patently absurd and it took was just patently absurd and it took was just patently absurd and it took somebody like an Elon to break through somebody like an Elon to break through somebody like an Elon to break through all of that [ __ ] You saw, people all of that [ __ ] You saw, people all of that [ __ ] You saw, people are going to hate this one, but you saw are going to hate this one, but you saw are going to hate this one, but you saw something very similar with Palunteer something very similar with Palunteer something very similar with Palunteer when they first came into um their when they first came into um their when they first came into um their space. They just could not get any space. They just could not get any space. They just could not get any government contracts because they were government contracts because they were government contracts because they were being iced out by um very stupid uh ways being iced out by um very stupid uh ways being iced out by um very stupid uh ways that the bids were put in place and all that the bids were put in place and all that the bids were put in place and all this stuff and who was allowed to bid this stuff and who was allowed to bid this stuff and who was allowed to bid and all that. So, um you it takes these and all that. So, um you it takes these and all that. So, um you it takes these just ridiculously just ridiculously just ridiculously um well-connected, wealthy, and very um well-connected, wealthy, and very um well-connected, wealthy, and very indomitable entrepreneurs to be able to indomitable entrepreneurs to be able to indomitable entrepreneurs to be able to come in and push through all of that. come in and push through all of that. come in and push through all of that. >> We do not want to put ourselves in that >> We do not want to put ourselves in that >> We do not want to put ourselves in that position. So, we have to look at what position. So, we have to look at what position. So, we have to look at what are the things that stop internal are the things that stop internal are the things that stop internal competition versus what are things that competition versus what are things that competition versus what are things that stop external competition. So, stopping stop external competition. So, stopping stop external competition. So, stopping BYD is good. Why? because we need to be BYD is good. Why? because we need to be BYD is good. Why? because we need to be a manufacturing hub. Even if for the a manufacturing hub. Even if for the a manufacturing hub. Even if for the sole reason of imagine we end up in a sole reason of imagine we end up in a sole reason of imagine we end up in a kinetic conflict with Russia and we need kinetic conflict with Russia and we need kinetic conflict with Russia and we need to on a dime say okay everybody making to on a dime say okay everybody making to on a dime say okay everybody making Teslas you now make drones. Great. This Teslas you now make drones. Great. This Teslas you now make drones. Great. This is exactly what we did during World War is exactly what we did during World War is exactly what we did during World War II. This is exactly why we come out as II. This is exactly why we come out as II. This is exactly why we come out as the un that and geography obviously why the un that and geography obviously why the un that and geography obviously why we come out the unscathed um heroes of we come out the unscathed um heroes of we come out the unscathed um heroes of World War II have because we have World War II have because we have World War II have because we have manufacturing that was used to build all manufacturing that was used to build all manufacturing that was used to build all the weaponry that we and the allies the weaponry that we and the allies the weaponry that we and the allies needed to win World War II. needed to win World War II. needed to win World War II. >> So we're this absolute manufacturing >> So we're this absolute manufacturing >> So we're this absolute manufacturing powerhouse. And so we're able to grow powerhouse. And so we're able to grow powerhouse. And so we're able to grow our way out of the crushing debt, which our way out of the crushing debt, which our way out of the crushing debt, which is something that people just don't map is something that people just don't map is something that people just don't map to. And they are [ __ ] stupid. and to. And they are [ __ ] stupid. and to. And they are [ __ ] stupid. and they think that the reason that we did they think that the reason that we did they think that the reason that we did well in the 50s and 60s is because we well in the 50s and 60s is because we well in the 50s and 60s is because we had a 91% top t tax uh bracket. [ __ ] had a 91% top t tax uh bracket. [ __ ] had a 91% top t tax uh bracket. [ __ ] [ __ ] Anyway, um so we've got to be [ __ ] Anyway, um so we've got to be [ __ ] Anyway, um so we've got to be thinking about that kind of thing now. thinking about that kind of thing now. thinking about that kind of thing now. We've got to understand that you need We've got to understand that you need We've got to understand that you need manufacturing. You need manufacturing, manufacturing. You need manufacturing, manufacturing. You need manufacturing, dude. The the world's manufacturing hub dude. The the world's manufacturing hub dude. The the world's manufacturing hub is now your biggest geopolitical rival. is now your biggest geopolitical rival. is now your biggest geopolitical rival. You can't let that stand. That is a very You can't let that stand. That is a very You can't let that stand. That is a very bad position to be in. So, um there are bad position to be in. So, um there are bad position to be in. So, um there are going to be things that we need to do to going to be things that we need to do to going to be things that we need to do to protect our middle class and things that protect our middle class and things that protect our middle class and things that we need to do to protect our um actual we need to do to protect our um actual we need to do to protect our um actual just ability to produce things that will just ability to produce things that will just ability to produce things that will be militarily important. be militarily important. be militarily important. >> And then with AI, you have the third >> And then with AI, you have the third >> And then with AI, you have the third thing of it is best understood as an thing of it is best understood as an thing of it is best understood as an arms race. Once you understand AI as an arms race. Once you understand AI as an arms race. Once you understand AI as an arms race, now it's like, yeah, we have arms race, now it's like, yeah, we have arms race, now it's like, yeah, we have to protect that. Like, we must win the to protect that. Like, we must win the to protect that. Like, we must win the AI arms race. I I hate to say it. And AI arms race. I I hate to say it. And AI arms race. I I hate to say it. And hey, look, if I'm China, I'm thinking I hey, look, if I'm China, I'm thinking I hey, look, if I'm China, I'm thinking I have to win the AI arms choice. I don't have to win the AI arms choice. I don't have to win the AI arms choice. I don't want America to be able to tell me what want America to be able to tell me what want America to be able to tell me what to do. I get it. That's the world we to do. I get it. That's the world we to do. I get it. That's the world we live in, unfortunately, until everybody live in, unfortunately, until everybody live in, unfortunately, until everybody globally is able to make sensible globally is able to make sensible globally is able to make sensible decisions as one big unit, which we will decisions as one big unit, which we will decisions as one big unit, which we will never be able to do. Uh then each never be able to do. Uh then each never be able to do. Uh then each country has to be like, "All right, I've country has to be like, "All right, I've country has to be like, "All right, I've got to be aligned with one of the big AI got to be aligned with one of the big AI got to be aligned with one of the big AI makers to be protected from cyber makers to be protected from cyber makers to be protected from cyber warfare, or I need to do it myself." But warfare, or I need to do it myself." But warfare, or I need to do it myself." But there is no well let's just wait and see there is no well let's just wait and see there is no well let's just wait and see what happens. what happens. what happens. >> And I can't bring up AI after the Ford >> And I can't bring up AI after the Ford >> And I can't bring up AI after the Ford news came out and not talk about that. news came out and not talk about that. news came out and not talk about that. Ford rehires human engineers after their Ford rehires human engineers after their Ford rehires human engineers after their AI fails to match quality checks. So AI fails to match quality checks. So AI fails to match quality checks. So they implemented AI and a bunch of they implemented AI and a bunch of they implemented AI and a bunch of cameras to do safety checks on their cameras to do safety checks on their cameras to do safety checks on their production line. And then they had to production line. And then they had to production line. And then they had to bring back hundreds, some estimates were bring back hundreds, some estimates were bring back hundreds, some estimates were 300. I've seen some reports as high as 300. I've seen some reports as high as 300. I've seen some reports as high as five. They had to rehire all those five. They had to rehire all those five. They had to rehire all those engineers back to do the manual checks engineers back to do the manual checks engineers back to do the manual checks because AI was missing defects and they because AI was missing defects and they because AI was missing defects and they weren't hitting their quality standards. weren't hitting their quality standards. weren't hitting their quality standards. I think this is a very smart way to run I think this is a very smart way to run I think this is a very smart way to run your company. This is the Elon Musk come your company. This is the Elon Musk come your company. This is the Elon Musk come in, fire everybody, figure out who you in, fire everybody, figure out who you in, fire everybody, figure out who you need to hire back strategy. Um, the need to hire back strategy. Um, the need to hire back strategy. Um, the reason this is good is a company will reason this is good is a company will reason this is good is a company will unintentionally get unnecessarily unintentionally get unnecessarily unintentionally get unnecessarily bloated. Now, I do think that people are bloated. Now, I do think that people are bloated. Now, I do think that people are getting out over their skis on AI. This getting out over their skis on AI. This getting out over their skis on AI. This was something that um I really had to was something that um I really had to was something that um I really had to ground myself on here with Kaizen. It's ground myself on here with Kaizen. It's ground myself on here with Kaizen. It's like there's just certain things that it like there's just certain things that it like there's just certain things that it can't do yet. And if you're like, "No, can't do yet. And if you're like, "No, can't do yet. And if you're like, "No, no, no. It's got to be AI." Then it's no, no. It's got to be AI." Then it's no, no. It's got to be AI." Then it's like, you end up spinning your wheels. like, you end up spinning your wheels. like, you end up spinning your wheels. And it's like, there are things that AI And it's like, there are things that AI And it's like, there are things that AI is good at. Use it for those things. is good at. Use it for those things. is good at. Use it for those things. There are things that AI is currently There are things that AI is currently There are things that AI is currently bad at. Don't use it for those things. bad at. Don't use it for those things. bad at. Don't use it for those things. Don't have, and this is what I think it Don't have, and this is what I think it Don't have, and this is what I think it was Amazon. They put up a leaderboard was Amazon. They put up a leaderboard was Amazon. They put up a leaderboard and they're just like, you rank on the and they're just like, you rank on the and they're just like, you rank on the leaderboard based on how much you use leaderboard based on how much you use leaderboard based on how much you use AI. It's like, that is [ __ ] stupid. I AI. It's like, that is [ __ ] stupid. I AI. It's like, that is [ __ ] stupid. I want there's no way to check this, but want there's no way to check this, but want there's no way to check this, but what you really want to incentivize is what you really want to incentivize is what you really want to incentivize is the person uses AI the exact amount that the person uses AI the exact amount that the person uses AI the exact amount that AI increases their efficiency and AI increases their efficiency and AI increases their efficiency and doesn't ever use AI for anything where doesn't ever use AI for anything where doesn't ever use AI for anything where you're just being [ __ ] lazy. So you're just being [ __ ] lazy. So you're just being [ __ ] lazy. So that's important. Now pull up also the that's important. Now pull up also the that's important. Now pull up also the um the uh thing from David Saxs. This is um the uh thing from David Saxs. This is um the uh thing from David Saxs. This is so the big question and it's right to be so the big question and it's right to be so the big question and it's right to be debated. People should have all eyes on debated. People should have all eyes on debated. People should have all eyes on this. Will AI destroy more jobs than it this. Will AI destroy more jobs than it this. Will AI destroy more jobs than it creates or create more jobs than it creates or create more jobs than it creates or create more jobs than it destroys? Now, every technology that's destroys? Now, every technology that's destroys? Now, every technology that's been truly transformative has ended up been truly transformative has ended up been truly transformative has ended up creating more jobs than is destroyed. creating more jobs than is destroyed. creating more jobs than is destroyed. So, it that's cold comfort to the person So, it that's cold comfort to the person So, it that's cold comfort to the person who knows how to um sew and when the who knows how to um sew and when the who knows how to um sew and when the loom comes along and they become loom comes along and they become loom comes along and they become completely irrelevant, obviously that's completely irrelevant, obviously that's completely irrelevant, obviously that's bad for them. That is nothing you say is bad for them. That is nothing you say is bad for them. That is nothing you say is going to make them feel better. Not even going to make them feel better. Not even going to make them feel better. Not even if you're like, "But it kicks off so if you're like, "But it kicks off so if you're like, "But it kicks off so much money, you don't need to work much money, you don't need to work much money, you don't need to work anymore." They don't give a [ __ ] The anymore." They don't give a [ __ ] The anymore." They don't give a [ __ ] The everything they built their lives everything they built their lives everything they built their lives towards in terms of meaning and purpose towards in terms of meaning and purpose towards in terms of meaning and purpose and being able to contribute, it just and being able to contribute, it just and being able to contribute, it just goes away. That's going to happen to goes away. That's going to happen to goes away. That's going to happen to people here. And so, the speed of the people here. And so, the speed of the people here. And so, the speed of the change is going to be scary. Totally get change is going to be scary. Totally get change is going to be scary. Totally get it. I don't think there's any way to it. I don't think there's any way to it. I don't think there's any way to ease that burden. Uh the other side of ease that burden. Uh the other side of ease that burden. Uh the other side of this though is that it really does this though is that it really does this though is that it really does create a new kind of job that nobody create a new kind of job that nobody create a new kind of job that nobody could have ever imagined. Think about could have ever imagined. Think about could have ever imagined. Think about this for a second. Everybody in this this for a second. Everybody in this this for a second. Everybody in this room, right, there's one, two, three, room, right, there's one, two, three, room, right, there's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven of us. Everyone four, five, six, seven of us. Everyone four, five, six, seven of us. Everyone in this room right now is living off of in this room right now is living off of in this room right now is living off of Did I miscount? [laughter] Did I miscount? [laughter] Did I miscount? [laughter] Is it six or seven? I can't see Is it six or seven? I can't see Is it six or seven? I can't see everybody behind the TV. everybody behind the TV. everybody behind the TV. >> Six. >> Six. >> Six. >> Six. Okay, there's six of us. Uh, so >> Six. Okay, there's six of us. Uh, so >> Six. Okay, there's six of us. Uh, so you've got six people that now make a you've got six people that now make a you've got six people that now make a living off of [ __ ] YouTube. That living off of [ __ ] YouTube. That living off of [ __ ] YouTube. That didn't exist. That just didn't exist 20 didn't exist. That just didn't exist 20 didn't exist. That just didn't exist 20 years ago. So there will be things like years ago. So there will be things like years ago. So there will be things like that where we can't uh predict how many that where we can't uh predict how many that where we can't uh predict how many new things will be created. So David new things will be created. So David new things will be created. So David Saxs posted this thing and he's showing Saxs posted this thing and he's showing Saxs posted this thing and he's showing listen the people that deploy the most listen the people that deploy the most listen the people that deploy the most AI end up hiring the most new people. He AI end up hiring the most new people. He AI end up hiring the most new people. He said it starts off slow and then over said it starts off slow and then over said it starts off slow and then over time people realize where the real time people realize where the real time people realize where the real efficiencies are. They start leaning efficiencies are. They start leaning efficiencies are. They start leaning into that and then that allows them to into that and then that allows them to into that and then that allows them to bring more people on. So companies need bring more people on. So companies need bring more people on. So companies need to have an obsession with being lean. to have an obsession with being lean. to have an obsession with being lean. Impact Theory went through the same Impact Theory went through the same Impact Theory went through the same thing. So at Quest, I caught my first thing. So at Quest, I caught my first thing. So at Quest, I caught my first taste of this, but unfortunately it did taste of this, but unfortunately it did taste of this, but unfortunately it did not yet completely convince me. And what not yet completely convince me. And what not yet completely convince me. And what we saw at Quest was we if we solved an we saw at Quest was we if we solved an we saw at Quest was we if we solved an inefficient system by throwing more inefficient system by throwing more inefficient system by throwing more people at it, it ended up in the long people at it, it ended up in the long people at it, it ended up in the long run moving us backwards. But it does run moving us backwards. But it does run moving us backwards. But it does solve a short-term problem, which is why solve a short-term problem, which is why solve a short-term problem, which is why people keep doing it. So then at impact people keep doing it. So then at impact people keep doing it. So then at impact theory, I was like, wait, okay, so I theory, I was like, wait, okay, so I theory, I was like, wait, okay, so I know this lesson. So what I'm going to know this lesson. So what I'm going to know this lesson. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to build a really do is I'm going to build a really do is I'm going to build a really efficient system. However, it's going to efficient system. However, it's going to efficient system. However, it's going to be a system that allows me to scale. So be a system that allows me to scale. So be a system that allows me to scale. So I'm going to build the infrastructure I'm going to build the infrastructure I'm going to build the infrastructure first. but efficiently and then scale first. but efficiently and then scale first. but efficiently and then scale into it. Even that doesn't work. And so into it. Even that doesn't work. And so into it. Even that doesn't work. And so now I have a totally different model now I have a totally different model now I have a totally different model which is until I can point to a direct which is until I can point to a direct which is until I can point to a direct cell in a spreadsheet that says there's cell in a spreadsheet that says there's cell in a spreadsheet that says there's pentup revenue here and by hiring this pentup revenue here and by hiring this pentup revenue here and by hiring this new person I will be able to unlock at new person I will be able to unlock at new person I will be able to unlock at least three times their salary in least three times their salary in least three times their salary in additional revenue. It's not always that additional revenue. It's not always that additional revenue. It's not always that person generates the revenue, but person generates the revenue, but person generates the revenue, but they're unlocking somebody else. That they're unlocking somebody else. That they're unlocking somebody else. That has become way better and we're now far has become way better and we're now far has become way better and we're now far more capital efficient, more profitable, more capital efficient, more profitable, more capital efficient, more profitable, etc., etc., than we were before. and etc., etc., than we were before. and etc., etc., than we were before. and ironically also just making more topline ironically also just making more topline ironically also just making more topline revenue which is [ __ ] wild. So we revenue which is [ __ ] wild. So we revenue which is [ __ ] wild. So we shrink the team, right? Focus just shrink the team, right? Focus just shrink the team, right? Focus just here's a lesson in New York. We shrink here's a lesson in New York. We shrink here's a lesson in New York. We shrink our expenses our expenses our expenses and made more topline revenue and and made more topline revenue and and made more topline revenue and obviously more profit that the profit obviously more profit that the profit obviously more profit that the profit just becomes me mechanistic of shrinking just becomes me mechanistic of shrinking just becomes me mechanistic of shrinking your expenses which then for us was your expenses which then for us was your expenses which then for us was smart shrinking and so it actually smart shrinking and so it actually smart shrinking and so it actually increased our revenue mechanistically increased our revenue mechanistically increased our revenue mechanistically that means you're more profitable. So that means you're more profitable. So that means you're more profitable. So it's like man if I could just get people it's like man if I could just get people it's like man if I could just get people on that hype train. So, I look at the on that hype train. So, I look at the on that hype train. So, I look at the Ford thing and I get it. You can point Ford thing and I get it. You can point Ford thing and I get it. You can point and make fun and be like, "You cut too and make fun and be like, "You cut too and make fun and be like, "You cut too many people. You got too excited about many people. You got too excited about many people. You got too excited about where AI is currently and you fired the where AI is currently and you fired the where AI is currently and you fired the wrong people." Or you could say, wrong people." Or you could say, wrong people."

This is what we think "Okay, listen. This is what we think "Okay, listen. This is what we think right now. We don't think we need these right now. We don't think we need these right now. We don't think we need these people. We think we're going to be able people. We think we're going to be able people. We think we're going to be able to get the return from AI. We're going to get the return from AI. We're going to get the return from AI. We're going to cut them out. If it doesn't work, to cut them out. If it doesn't work, to cut them out. If it doesn't work, then we will go back and rehire the then we will go back and rehire the then we will go back and rehire the people that we need." Some, by the way, people that we need."

Fair somebody else from somewhere else. Fair somebody else from somewhere else. Fair enough. Th those are all very real enough. Th those are all very real enough. Th those are all very real things. But in America, we are really in things. But in America, we are really in things. But in America, we are really in danger of I mean we have several paths danger of I mean we have several paths danger of I mean we have several paths before us, most of which are terrible. before us, most of which are terrible. before us, most of which are terrible. One of those paths is this sense of One of those paths is this sense of One of those paths is this sense of Japan where it's like, hey, if we hire Japan where it's like, hey, if we hire Japan where it's like, hey, if we hire you here, you've got a job forever. And you here, you've got a job forever. And you here, you've got a job forever. And that led to catastrophic stagnation in that led to catastrophic stagnation in that led to catastrophic stagnation in Japan. Now, it's a bit of a chicken and Japan. Now, it's a bit of a chicken and Japan. Now, it's a bit of a chicken and egg problem because they were stalling egg problem because they were stalling egg problem because they were stalling out for economic reasons, which is what out for economic reasons, which is what out for economic reasons, which is what made them make the promise, blah blah made them make the promise, blah blah made them make the promise, blah blah blah.

It's a whole side thing cheap loans. It's a whole side thing cheap loans. It's a whole side thing that we could go down. That that is the that we could go down.
