The most aggressive federal crimes. The most aggressive federal crimes. The most aggressive statement though from the administration statement though from the administration statement though from the administration comes from your boy Stephen Miller, the comes from your boy Stephen Miller, the comes from your boy Stephen Miller, the eternal voice of understatement and eternal voice of understatement and eternal voice of understatement and restraint. He would like to remind ICE restraint. He would like to remind ICE restraint. He would like to remind ICE officers and we will show this video and officers and we will show this video and officers and we will show this video and clearly in my opinion the public as well clearly in my opinion the public as well clearly in my opinion the public as well that ICE agents have qualified immunity that ICE agents have qualified immunity that ICE agents have qualified immunity while on the job. He didn't say while on the job. He didn't say while on the job. He didn't say qualified, he just said immunity. But qualified, he just said immunity. But qualified, he just said immunity. But the reality is it is qualified immunity. the reality is it is qualified immunity. the reality is it is qualified immunity. It seems clear to me that we right now It seems clear to me that we right now It seems clear to me that we right now are locked in a selfreinforcing are locked in a selfreinforcing are locked in a selfreinforcing feedback loop that is guaranteed to feedback loop that is guaranteed to feedback loop that is guaranteed to deliver more tragedy. The agents the deliver more tragedy. The agents the deliver more tragedy. The agents the administrations um are sent the administrations um are sent the administrations um are sent the administration is sending to the area. administration is sending to the area. administration is sending to the area. The more they do that the more The more they do that the more The more they do that the more protesters and trained agitators to be protesters and trained agitators to be protesters and trained agitators to be honest are going to resist. the more honest are going to resist. the more honest are going to resist. the more they resist, the more force the they resist, the more force the they resist, the more force the administration is going to apply and administration is going to apply and administration is going to apply and it's just going to continue to create it's just going to continue to create it's just going to continue to create problems and escalate to the point where problems and escalate to the point where problems and escalate to the point where I'm going to guess something snaps, I'm going to guess something snaps, I'm going to guess something snaps, something even more horrible happens and something even more horrible happens and something even more horrible happens and you get the protesters who feel you get the protesters who feel you get the protesters who feel completely justified and really going completely justified and really going completely justified and really going riot. And then you get the US government riot. And then you get the US government riot. And then you get the US government deciding that they're going to send in deciding that they're going to send in deciding that they're going to send in the National Guard or whatever increased the National Guard or whatever increased the National Guard or whatever increased um presence they're going to decide to um presence they're going to decide to um presence they're going to decide to have. But this one does not end calmly have. But this one does not end calmly have. But this one does not end calmly would be my assumption at this point. would be my assumption at this point. would be my assumption at this point. >> So you think it's just going to be more >> So you think it's just going to be more >> So you think it's just going to be more and more stoked up? What do you think is and more stoked up? What do you think is and more stoked up? What do you think is the ultimate boiling point is going to the ultimate boiling point is going to the ultimate boiling point is going to be? Cuz I thought honestly Renee Good be? Cuz I thought honestly Renee Good be? Cuz I thought honestly Renee Good was going to be that. I thought once was going to be that. I thought once was going to be that. I thought once they seen that people were going to they seen that people were going to they seen that people were going to riot, protest, and they were going to riot, protest, and they were going to riot, protest, and they were going to kind of do National Guard shut it down kind of do National Guard shut it down kind of do National Guard shut it down like that, but it seems that it's still like that, but it seems that it's still like that, but it seems that it's still even escalating higher than that. even escalating higher than that. even escalating higher than that. >> Yeah. I don't I think partly because >> Yeah. I don't I think partly because >> Yeah. I don't I think partly because it's the winter, you get a blunting it's the winter, you get a blunting it's the winter, you get a blunting effect. So, in the summer that might effect. So, in the summer that might effect. So, in the summer that might have been the thing that spilled have been the thing that spilled have been the thing that spilled everything over, but if you watch enough everything over, but if you watch enough everything over, but if you watch enough of these videos, you see that this of these videos, you see that this of these videos, you see that this really is escalating. So, it isn't that really is escalating. So, it isn't that really is escalating. So, it isn't that um oh, that one was just taken in stride um oh, that one was just taken in stride um oh, that one was just taken in stride and nobody's bothered. Uh it is and nobody's bothered. Uh it is and nobody's bothered. Uh it is definitely ramping things up. I think definitely ramping things up. I think definitely ramping things up. I think some of what is possibly muting the some of what is possibly muting the some of what is possibly muting the effect is we've been through this once effect is we've been through this once effect is we've been through this once before and in the fullness of time, before and in the fullness of time, before and in the fullness of time, people start to realize that there's a people start to realize that there's a people start to realize that there's a lot of complexities that they didn't lot of complexities that they didn't lot of complexities that they didn't necessarily take into consideration when necessarily take into consideration when necessarily take into consideration when this was all popping off. And so this was all popping off. And so this was all popping off. And so hopefully people are stopping their hopefully people are stopping their hopefully people are stopping their emotions from running away with them. emotions from running away with them. emotions from running away with them. Um, Um, Um, >> what do you mean we've been through this >> what do you mean we've been through this >> what do you mean we've been through this once before? once before? once before? >> So with George Floyd, so as everything >> So with George Floyd, so as everything >> So with George Floyd, so as everything escalated in the summer of love and the escalated in the summer of love and the escalated in the summer of love and the initial sweep of all that was I remember initial sweep of all that was I remember initial sweep of all that was I remember going through it and being like, I don't going through it and being like, I don't going through it and being like, I don't even know what to think about this. And even know what to think about this. And even know what to think about this. And so when that was all happening, people so when that was all happening, people so when that was all happening, people had not processed through any of this had not processed through any of this had not processed through any of this stuff. And so it looked like uh cop did stuff. And so it looked like uh cop did stuff. And so it looked like uh cop did bad thing and then it just all kicked bad thing and then it just all kicked bad thing and then it just all kicked off from there. off from there. off from there. >> Uh now that people have seen both the >> Uh now that people have seen both the >> Uh now that people have seen both the government acquisition of power and that government acquisition of power and that government acquisition of power and that there are there are there are >> paid agitators as I will call them that >> paid agitators as I will call them that >> paid agitators as I will call them that there is some sort of push that's being there is some sort of push that's being there is some sort of push that's being funded that's being organized that wants funded that's being organized that wants funded that's being organized that wants a destabilization within America. I a destabilization within America. I a destabilization within America. I think people are I I certainly am less think people are I I certainly am less think people are I I certainly am less trusting of either side of the story. trusting of either side of the story. trusting of either side of the story. So, I'm more of a hm I want to see how So, I'm more of a hm I want to see how So, I'm more of a hm I want to see how this plays out. I want to see exactly this plays out. I want to see exactly this plays out. I want to see exactly what's going on uh before like rushing what's going on uh before like rushing what's going on uh before like rushing in and saying this is exactly what in and saying this is exactly what in and saying this is exactly what happened. Everybody needs to get behind happened. Everybody needs to get behind happened. Everybody needs to get behind this. So, I have a feeling there's some this. So, I have a feeling there's some this. So, I have a feeling there's some of that. Uh but there's no question that of that. Uh but there's no question that of that. Uh but there's no question that the administration is ratcheting up, the administration is ratcheting up, the administration is ratcheting up, getting more violent. Uh if just getting more violent.

And no way I'm going to stand for it. And just like I told you, I'm not some paper just like I told you, I'm not some paper just like I told you, I'm not some paper tiger. I'm prepared to actually take tiger. I'm prepared to actually take tiger. I'm prepared to actually take action and rat out these SS action and rat out these SS action and rat out these SS [ __ ] Okay. That we're seeing [ __ ] Okay. That we're seeing [ __ ] Okay. That we're seeing that play out. Again, my beef is I don't that play out. Again, my beef is I don't that play out. Again, my beef is I don't think we're anywhere near that. And so think we're anywhere near that. And so think we're anywhere near that. And so you've got people reacting. you've got people reacting. you've got people reacting. >> You don't think we're anywhere near the >> You don't think we're anywhere near the >> You don't think we're anywhere near the SS? SS? SS? >> Definitely not. Okay. >> Definitely not. Okay. >> Definitely not. Okay. >> Definitely not. So >> Definitely not. So >> Definitely not. So going back like if you look at even going back like if you look at even going back like if you look at even Obama was sending in ICE enforcement Obama was sending in ICE enforcement Obama was sending in ICE enforcement agents to go and arrest people. agents to go and arrest people. agents to go and arrest people. >> Uh they were doing it super early in the >> Uh they were doing it super early in the >> Uh they were doing it super early in the dead of night trying to get people. And dead of night trying to get people. And dead of night trying to get people. And so the question becomes, okay, so the question becomes, okay, so the question becomes, okay, why is why was the reaction when Obama why is why was the reaction when Obama why is why was the reaction when Obama did it chill? And the reaction now is did it chill? And the reaction now is did it chill? And the reaction now is horrible. You've got two options before horrible. You've got two options before horrible. You've got two options before you. Option number one is, well, Trump you. Option number one is, well, Trump you. Option number one is, well, Trump is an authoritarian [ __ ] who's is an authoritarian [ __ ] who's is an authoritarian [ __ ] who's sending these guys in, hopped up, and sending these guys in, hopped up, and sending these guys in, hopped up, and they're being so over the top that they're being so over the top that they're being so over the top that people are responding accordingly. The people are responding accordingly. The people are responding accordingly. The other option is that people are so other option is that people are so other option is that people are so Trump derangement syndrome, so convinced Trump derangement syndrome, so convinced Trump derangement syndrome, so convinced that he's the next Hitler that even that he's the next Hitler that even that he's the next Hitler that even though he's doing the same actions, he's though he's doing the same actions, he's though he's doing the same actions, he's being met with a level of resistance being met with a level of resistance being met with a level of resistance that people weren't being met with when that people weren't being met with when that people weren't being met with when Obama did it. So when you look at the Obama did it. So when you look at the Obama did it. So when you look at the CNN coverage of what Obama was doing, CNN coverage of what Obama was doing, CNN coverage of what Obama was doing, it's very positive. When you look at if it's very positive. When you look at if it's very positive. When you look at if Trump says anything, traditional media Trump says anything, traditional media Trump says anything, traditional media is going to go against him. The left is is going to go against him. The left is is going to go against him. The left is going to go against him. And so we were going to go against him. And so we were going to go against him. And so we were just in a very different place when just in a very different place when just in a very different place when Obama was doing it as a country. We Obama was doing it as a country. We Obama was doing it as a country. We weren't as divided. And so now it is weren't as divided. And so now it is weren't as divided. And so now it is almost impossible to tease out is this a almost impossible to tease out is this a almost impossible to tease out is this a reaction to Trump is doing it or is reaction to Trump is doing it or is reaction to Trump is doing it or is Trump doing it in a bad way from the Trump doing it in a bad way from the Trump doing it in a bad way from the jump. I think Trump's instincts are all jump. I think Trump's instincts are all jump. I think Trump's instincts are all wrong. I think they are all populist. wrong. I think they are all populist. wrong.

They are going towards the other side. They are going towards the other side. They are going to rile people up. And I think that even to rile people up. And I think that even to rile people up. And I think that even if Trump were doing it the right way, if Trump were doing it the right way, if Trump were doing it the right way, the other side's instincts are all wrong the other side's instincts are all wrong the other side's instincts are all wrong and they are all designed to risk uh and they are all designed to risk uh and they are all designed to risk uh resist in a way that is totally resist in a way that is totally resist in a way that is totally disproportionate to what's going on. The disproportionate to what's going on. The disproportionate to what's going on. The whole idea of a sanctuary city to me is whole idea of a sanctuary city to me is whole idea of a sanctuary city to me is patently absurd. The fact that in the patently absurd.

You don't even that's night and day. You don't even that's night and day. You don't even think look at vaccines the same. We think look at vaccines the same. We think look at vaccines the same. We don't look at government intervention don't look at government intervention don't look at government intervention the same. We don't look at lockdowns the the same.

Like there's a lot of things that we no longer look at the same after that we no longer look at the same after that we no longer look at the same after that time. So with that new inflection point time. So with that new inflection point time. So with that new inflection point and this whole new uh line of and this whole new uh line of and this whole new uh line of questioning, let's go like let's go into questioning, let's go like let's go into questioning, let's go like let's go into it. What Minnesota is right now is it. What Minnesota is right now is it. What Minnesota is right now is exactly what I think Trump wants it to exactly what I think Trump wants it to exactly what I think Trump wants it to be because as crazy the crazier and be because as crazy the crazier and be because as crazy the crazier and crazier it gets, the more he can point crazier it gets, the more he can point crazier it gets, the more he can point to the leadership of Minnesota and to the leadership of Minnesota and to the leadership of Minnesota and they're all Democrats. Like I said in they're all Democrats. Like I said in they're all Democrats. Like I said in the last live, there's still illegal the last live, there's still illegal the last live, there's still illegal aliens in I in Arizona. There's still aliens in I in Arizona. There's still aliens in I in Arizona. There's still illegal aliens in Texas. Minnesota is illegal aliens in Texas. Minnesota is illegal aliens in Texas. Minnesota is not the only place that there's not the only place that there's not the only place that there's illegals, but a YouTuber said there's a illegals, but a YouTuber said there's a illegals, but a YouTuber said there's a bunch of fraud here. It got viral. Trump bunch of fraud here. It got viral. Trump bunch of fraud here. It got viral. Trump likes viral. He went to go do it and likes viral. He went to go do it and likes viral. He went to go do it and then he did it. We have a reality TV then he did it. We have a reality TV then he did it. We have a reality TV show president and you're saying that we show president and you're saying that we show president and you're saying that we never had this much drama in the never had this much drama in the never had this much drama in the government. I don't think those things government. I don't think those things government. I don't think those things are mutually exclusive. I think Trump are mutually exclusive. I think Trump are mutually exclusive. I think Trump knows how to monetize attention. I think knows how to monetize attention. I think knows how to monetize attention. I think Trump knows how to wield attention and I Trump knows how to wield attention and I Trump knows how to wield attention and I think Trump knows how to feed his base. think Trump knows how to feed his base. think Trump knows how to feed his base. So, he does those three things expertly. So, he does those three things expertly. So, he does those three things expertly. Trump is very good at what he does. I'm Trump is very good at what he does. I'm Trump is very good at what he does. I'm not going to be bashful and act like not going to be bashful and act like not going to be bashful and act like he's a stupid person. He's an idiot. No, he's a stupid person. He's an idiot. No, he's a stupid person. He's an idiot. No, absolutely not. He knows what he's doing absolutely not. He knows what he's doing absolutely not. He knows what he's doing and he's concentrated at what he's and he's concentrated at what he's and he's concentrated at what he's doing. But I think that we're spending doing. But I think that we're spending doing. But I think that we're spending more time with the rhetoric of is this more time with the rhetoric of is this more time with the rhetoric of is this woman who got shot in the face wrong for woman who got shot in the face wrong for woman who got shot in the face wrong for trying to drive away or was driving trying to drive away or was driving trying to drive away or was driving toward the ICE agent versus the lady who toward the ICE agent versus the lady who toward the ICE agent versus the lady who was driving to a doctor's appointment was driving to a doctor's appointment was driving to a doctor's appointment and got snatched out and had agents and got snatched out and had agents and got snatched out and had agents surrounding her car. And I'm still just surrounding her car. And I'm still just surrounding her car. And I'm still just confused like where are the illegals? confused like where are the illegals? confused like where are the illegals? Where are the Somali that are stealing Where are the Somali that are stealing Where are the Somali that are stealing all the money? Because I just seen a all the money? Because I just seen a all the money? Because I just seen a white woman and a racially ambiguous white woman and a racially ambiguous white woman and a racially ambiguous woman get pulled out. But I haven't seen woman get pulled out. But I haven't seen woman get pulled out. But I haven't seen a daycare center yet. I haven't seen a a daycare center yet. I haven't seen a a daycare center yet. I haven't seen a healthcare refund. I haven't seen a healthcare refund. I haven't seen a healthcare refund. I haven't seen a lawsuit happen. So, this is the part lawsuit happen. So, this is the part lawsuit happen. So, this is the part where it's like we're saying we care where it's like we're saying we care where it's like we're saying we care about this one thing, but yet we're about this one thing, but yet we're about this one thing, but yet we're doing a lot of theater on the other doing a lot of theater on the other doing a lot of theater on the other side. And that's the part that I feel side. And that's the part that I feel side. And that's the part that I feel like is just Trump saying, "Okay, I can like is just Trump saying, "Okay, I can like is just Trump saying, "Okay, I can make people get more excited. I get more make people get more excited. I get more make people get more excited. I get more make people get more excited." And then make people get more excited." And then make people get more excited." And then after that, when the midterms come after that, when the midterms come after that, when the midterms come around, I can either do martial law, I around, I can either do martial law, I around, I can either do martial law, I can shut Minnesota down to show that you can shut Minnesota down to show that you can shut Minnesota down to show that you guys don't have restraint. And it's guys don't have restraint. And it's guys don't have restraint. And it's another political move I can use so that another political move I can use so that another political move I can use so that way it can help me bolster my base. help way it can help me bolster my base. help way it can help me bolster my base. help me bolster my my team, quote unquote. me bolster my my team, quote unquote. me bolster my my team, quote unquote. >> Okay, so let me see if I've understood >> Okay, so let me see if I've understood >> Okay, so let me see if I've understood your position.

The demon summoning summoning circle. The demon summoning summoning circle. The demon summoning circles only exists in moments of circles only exists in moments of circles only exists in moments of populism. populism. populism. Trump as a archetype of a human being Trump as a archetype of a human being Trump as a archetype of a human being would never become an electable would never become an electable would never become an electable politician in any environment that politician in any environment that politician in any environment that wasn't already populist. wasn't already populist. wasn't already populist. >> And you think that's relevant for his >> And you think that's relevant for his >> And you think that's relevant for his first term as well? first term as well? first term as well? >> I Yes. And I think failing to understand >> I Yes. And I think failing to understand >> I Yes. And I think failing to understand that the world changed for a very that the world changed for a very that the world changed for a very specific reason, which is we created a specific reason, which is we created a specific reason, which is we created a central bank in 1913 that allowed very central bank in 1913 that allowed very central bank in 1913 that allowed very smart, very well-connected people to smart, very well-connected people to smart, very well-connected people to control money and extract eternally from control money and extract eternally from control money and extract eternally from the holders of the largest amount of the holders of the largest amount of the holders of the largest amount of wealth, which is not billionaires, it's wealth, which is not billionaires, it's wealth, which is not billionaires, it's the middle and working class. So they the middle and working class. So they the middle and working class. So they hold much more depending on how far up hold much more depending on how far up hold much more depending on how far up the ladder you go. Like if you go all the ladder you go. Like if you go all the ladder you go. Like if you go all the way to um the top 90%, the way to um the top 90%, the way to um the top 90%, you now control you now control you now control so much more wealth than billionaires. so much more wealth than billionaires. so much more wealth than billionaires. It's ridiculous. But anyway, so they It's ridiculous. But anyway, so they It's ridiculous. But anyway, so they understand that they want to extract understand that they want to extract understand that they want to extract from people. And they also understand from people. And they also understand from people. And they also understand the way to protect themselves to own the way to protect themselves to own the way to protect themselves to own assets. So they're like, I have a method assets. So they're like, I have a method assets. So they're like, I have a method to extract from everybody else that to extract from everybody else that to extract from everybody else that hurts me just as much as it hurts hurts me just as much as it hurts hurts me just as much as it hurts everybody else, but I know how to everybody else, but I know how to everybody else, but I know how to protect myself from it.

And so they're the understand rubber. And so they're the understand rubber. And so they're the only ones wearing boots, raincoats, and only ones wearing boots, raincoats, and only ones wearing boots, raincoats, and holding an umbrella. And so they're holding an umbrella. And so they're holding an umbrella. And so they're like, "Well, it's raining on me just like, "Well, it's raining on me just like, "Well, it's raining on me just like it's raining on you."

Always and forever all throughout time. Always and forever all throughout time. It's always debt and money printing. Not It's always debt and money printing. Not It's always debt and money printing. Not sometimes, not mostly. It's always debt sometimes, not mostly. It's always debt sometimes, not mostly. It's always debt and money printing. So that creates and money printing. So that creates and money printing. So that creates these populous moments because they can these populous moments because they can these populous moments because they can no longer feed their family, keep a roof no longer feed their family, keep a roof no longer feed their family, keep a roof over their head, feel like their kids' over their head, feel like their kids' over their head, feel like their kids' lives might be better than theirs. And lives might be better than theirs. And lives might be better than theirs. And if you will grant me the um the metaphor if you will grant me the um the metaphor if you will grant me the um the metaphor that humans are like AI in that we are that humans are like AI in that we are that humans are like AI in that we are programmed. We process data in a certain programmed. We process data in a certain programmed. We process data in a certain way. And so that feeling of ooh way. And so that feeling of ooh way. And so that feeling of ooh something is bad makes people I'm being something is bad makes people I'm being something is bad makes people I'm being extracted. I'm being stolen from just to extracted. I'm being stolen from just to extracted. I'm being stolen from just to keep it really simple. Yeah. The feeling keep it really simple. Yeah. The feeling keep it really simple. Yeah. The feeling of I'm being stolen from makes people of I'm being stolen from makes people of I'm being stolen from makes people feel very anxious. Anxiety is a hugely feel very anxious. Anxiety is a hugely feel very anxious. Anxiety is a hugely negative emotion that people will not negative emotion that people will not negative emotion that people will not allow themselves to sit in. So they turn allow themselves to sit in. So they turn allow themselves to sit in. So they turn it into anger. And in the moment of it into anger. And in the moment of it into anger. And in the moment of anger, they hold hands around the demon anger, they hold hands around the demon anger, they hold hands around the demon summoning circle and they pull forth a summoning circle and they pull forth a summoning circle and they pull forth a politician that will slap the other side politician that will slap the other side politician that will slap the other side around. That's specifically what they around. That's specifically what they around. That's specifically what they want them to do. And secure the money want them to do. And secure the money want them to do. And secure the money for them. And so it this is a historical for them. And so it this is a historical for them. And so it this is a historical pattern that plays out over and over and pattern that plays out over and over and pattern that plays out over and over and over. So when people look at Trump and over. So when people look at Trump and over. So when people look at Trump and go, "Oh, this [ __ ] [ __ ] uh, he's go, "Oh, this [ __ ] [ __ ] uh, he's go, "Oh, this [ __ ] [ __ ] uh, he's doing all of this." I'm like, "You're doing all of this." I'm like, "You're doing all of this." I'm like, "You're never going to solve the problem because never going to solve the problem because never going to solve the problem because you're going to get mad at Trump. You're you're going to get mad at Trump. You're you're going to get mad at Trump. You're going to fight against Trump." When the going to fight against Trump." When the going to fight against Trump." When the reality is, if you don't solve the reality is, if you don't solve the reality is, if you don't solve the economic problem, we'll stay in a economic problem, we'll stay in a economic problem, we'll stay in a populist moment forever. And in fact, populist moment forever. And in fact, populist moment forever. And in fact, history is very clear. What ends up history is very clear. What ends up history is very clear. What ends up happening is you fall into civil war or happening is you fall into civil war or happening is you fall into civil war or revolution revolution revolution >> and you kill a whole bunch of people in >> and you kill a whole bunch of people in >> and you kill a whole bunch of people in your own country and then there's so your own country and then there's so your own country and then there's so much bloodshed that everybody goes I'm much bloodshed that everybody goes I'm much bloodshed that everybody goes I'm too tired to keep fighting and everybody too tired to keep fighting and everybody too tired to keep fighting and everybody just accepts like okay fine whatever just accepts like okay fine whatever just accepts like okay fine whatever there's a new world order and then you there's a new world order and then you there's a new world order and then you move forward and you limp along for 30 move forward and you limp along for 30 move forward and you limp along for 30 50 sometimes 100 years and then you 50 sometimes 100 years and then you 50 sometimes 100 years and then you finally get back on track to give people finally get back on track to give people finally get back on track to give people an idea it took China 200 years to get an idea it took China 200 years to get an idea it took China 200 years to get back it's taken Argentina a hundred back it's taken Argentina a hundred back it's taken Argentina a hundred years to get back. So these are not like years to get back. So these are not like years to get back. So these are not like you don't pull out of populism easily. you don't pull out of populism easily. you don't pull out of populism easily. So I'm like, can we please just not go So I'm like, can we please just not go So I'm like, can we please just not go all the way to revolution because all the way to revolution because all the way to revolution because >> it isn't an ironclad law. You don't have >> it isn't an ironclad law. You don't have >> it isn't an ironclad law. You don't have to go all the way there. You can back to go all the way there. You can back to go all the way there. You can back out of this, but it's always through out of this, but it's always through out of this, but it's always through growth. And so if we can't solve the growth. And so if we can't solve the growth. And so if we can't solve the economic problem, we will go to economic problem, we will go to economic problem, we will go to revolution. We will kill a just absolute revolution. We will kill a just absolute revolution. We will kill a just absolute [ __ ] ton of people. and we will [ __ ] ton of people. and we will [ __ ] ton of people. and we will somewhere between 30 and 100 years, somewhere between 30 and 100 years, somewhere between 30 and 100 years, let's say, will be a backwaters nation. let's say, will be a backwaters nation. let's say, will be a backwaters nation. >> Um, doubling down on the economic >> Um, doubling down on the economic >> Um, doubling down on the economic problem, how would you grade Trump and problem, how would you grade Trump and problem, how would you grade Trump and his ability to solve those economic his ability to solve those economic his ability to solve those economic problems? Um, is he putting his problems? Um, is he putting his problems? Um, is he putting his resources in the right place? Is he and resources in the right place? Is he and resources in the right place? Is he and it doesn't have to be like line by line it doesn't have to be like line by line it doesn't have to be like line by line of the big beautiful bill? But just cuz of the big beautiful bill? But just cuz of the big beautiful bill? But just cuz what I heard from you is if Gen Z could what I heard from you is if Gen Z could what I heard from you is if Gen Z could afford houses, I say he just wouldn't be afford houses, I say he just wouldn't be afford houses, I say he just wouldn't be terrorizing Minnesota. terrorizing Minnesota. terrorizing Minnesota. >> That is 100% accurate. So >> That is 100% accurate. So >> That is 100% accurate. So to me that sounds like I should invest to me that sounds like I should invest to me that sounds like I should invest in people affording houses like those in people affording houses like those in people affording houses like those those would be like where the those would be like where the those would be like where the investments flow through. Um but overall investments flow through. Um but overall investments flow through. Um but overall it seems like Trump is a lot more it seems like Trump is a lot more it seems like Trump is a lot more worried about Venezuela, Greenland um worried about Venezuela, Greenland um worried about Venezuela, Greenland um immigration which immigration does have immigration which immigration does have immigration which immigration does have a second third order consequences of a second third order consequences of a second third order consequences of affordability but that's like saying if affordability but that's like saying if affordability but that's like saying if I don't eat I can lose weight. It's like I don't eat I can lose weight. It's like I don't eat I can lose weight. It's like yes that's one way but you can also work yes that's one way but you can also work yes that's one way but you can also work out you can stop eating fried chicken. out you can stop eating fried chicken. out you can stop eating fried chicken. like you know there's other ways that like you know there's other ways that like you know there's other ways that might be a little bit higher and more might be a little bit higher and more might be a little bit higher and more >> oh they would be way better they would >> oh they would be way better they would >> oh they would be way better they would be way better so to use your analogy um be way better so to use your analogy um be way better so to use your analogy um we have elected we're a morbidly obese we have elected we're a morbidly obese we have elected we're a morbidly obese country and we've elected an anorexic to country and we've elected an anorexic to country and we've elected an anorexic to get us back in shape and he's doing the get us back in shape and he's doing the get us back in shape and he's doing the most extreme most unhealthy [ __ ] so I'm most extreme most unhealthy [ __ ] so I'm most extreme most unhealthy [ __ ] so I'm going to speedun but by the way it going to speedun but by the way it going to speedun but by the way it actually has a chance of getting you to actually has a chance of getting you to actually has a chance of getting you to lose weight lose weight lose weight >> that's exactly how I look at Trump he's >> that's exactly how I look at Trump he's >> that's exactly how I look at Trump he's what he's doing is so high risk it puts what he's doing is so high risk it puts what he's doing is so high risk it puts us all it puts the entire world order at us all it puts the entire world order at us all it puts the entire world order at risk. So I'm not a burn it all down and risk. So I'm not a burn it all down and risk. So I'm not a burn it all down and start over guy. I'm like we have a start over guy. I'm like we have a start over guy. I'm like we have a central bank. I wish we didn't. We central bank. I wish we didn't. We central bank. I wish we didn't. We shouldn't have ever created one but we shouldn't have ever created one but we shouldn't have ever created one but we have one. And so now we need to work have one. And so now we need to work have one. And so now we need to work within that system to write the ship within that system to write the ship within that system to write the ship before we just go and now we're going to before we just go and now we're going to before we just go and now we're going to terminate the um the central bank terminate the um the central bank terminate the um the central bank because people don't understand what the because people don't understand what the because people don't understand what the central bank protects them from. So, central bank protects them from. So, central bank protects them from. So, like many things, the central bank's a like many things, the central bank's a like many things, the central bank's a double-edged sword, and it really does double-edged sword, and it really does double-edged sword, and it really does awesome stuff, and then it also hurts awesome stuff, and then it also hurts awesome stuff, and then it also hurts you. It allows elites to extract from you. It allows elites to extract from you. It allows elites to extract from you. That's a easier way to say it or a you. That's a easier way to say it or a you. That's a easier way to say it or a more accurate way. Okay, I'm going to more accurate way. Okay, I'm going to more accurate way. Okay, I'm going to speedrun the answer to your Trump speedrun the answer to your Trump speedrun the answer to your Trump question. So, it goes like this. question. So, it goes like this. question. So, it goes like this. uh in a populous moment where people uh in a populous moment where people uh in a populous moment where people realize the pie is shrinking and they realize the pie is shrinking and they realize the pie is shrinking and they just want to make sure that they can just want to make sure that they can just want to make sure that they can stop feeling anxious, they turn it into stop feeling anxious, they turn it into stop feeling anxious, they turn it into anger, they summon a demon to work on anger, they summon a demon to work on anger, they summon a demon to work on their behalf to slap around the other their behalf to slap around the other their behalf to slap around the other side to get the pie for them. side to get the pie for them. side to get the pie for them. >> Uh you're going to get somebody like >> Uh you're going to get somebody like >> Uh you're going to get somebody like Trump whose natural proclivities are to Trump whose natural proclivities are to Trump whose natural proclivities are to um take and so he realizes, oh, I'm in a um take and so he realizes, oh, I'm in a um take and so he realizes, oh, I'm in a position where I can bully people. position where I can bully people. position where I can bully people. bullying people's very effective. So, bullying people's very effective. So, bullying people's very effective. So, I'm going to go bully people and I'm going to go bully people and I'm going to go bully people and actually make America strong again on an actually make America strong again on an actually make America strong again on an international stage. The bad news is he international stage. The bad news is he international stage. The bad news is he must do that. China will bully you. You must do that. China will bully you. You must do that. China will bully you. You do not want to live under China. People do not want to live under China. People do not want to live under China. People are delusional. They think that um China are delusional. They think that um China are delusional. They think that um China won't do to us what we've done to the won't do to us what we've done to the won't do to us what we've done to the rest of the world. And the only thing rest of the world. And the only thing rest of the world. And the only thing worse than being the bully, because worse than being the bully, because worse than being the bully, because being the bully is not great, the only being the bully is not great, the only being the bully is not great, the only thing worse than being the bully is thing worse than being the bully is thing worse than being the bully is being bullied. being bullied. being bullied. >> And so, you don't want to be in a >> And so, you don't want to be in a >> And so, you don't want to be in a position where China gets to control position where China gets to control position where China gets to control your future. are trying to get some your future. are trying to get some your future. are trying to get some control of the things that you do and control of the things that you do and control of the things that you do and don't do. That's I'm speaking for don't do. That's I'm speaking for don't do. That's I'm speaking for myself. I a thousand% am not prepared to myself. I a thousand% am not prepared to myself. I a thousand% am not prepared to do that. So, from where I'm sitting, do that. So, from where I'm sitting, do that. So, from where I'm sitting, Trump must do something now because this Trump must do something now because this Trump must do something now because this is a populist moment and we summoned a is a populist moment and we summoned a is a populist moment and we summoned a demon. We're now he's going to bully his demon. We're now he's going to bully his demon. We're now he's going to bully his way. That's just what he's going to do. way. That's just what he's going to do. way. That's just what he's going to do. Ambition grows in the Eden. So, with Ambition grows in the Eden. So, with Ambition grows in the Eden. So, with every success, he becomes more every success, he becomes more every success, he becomes more aggressive, not less. And so, he'll just aggressive, not less. And so, he'll just aggressive, not less. And so, he'll just keep going. Like, if if he were able to keep going. Like, if if he were able to keep going. Like, if if he were able to take Greenland, holy be Jesus. I don't take Greenland, holy be Jesus. I don't take Greenland, holy be Jesus. I don't even want to know what he would target even want to know what he would target even want to know what he would target next. But if it all just works, then next. But if it all just works, then next. But if it all just works, then he'll just keep going. As always, he'll just keep going. As always, he'll just keep going. As always, politicians will go until the internal politicians will go until the internal politicians will go until the internal morality of their country stops them or morality of their country stops them or morality of their country stops them or they hit sufficient violent force. So they hit sufficient violent force. So they hit sufficient violent force. So far, we've proven to only hit people far, we've proven to only hit people far, we've proven to only hit people that we can win on. So now we're that we can win on. So now we're that we can win on. So now we're stacking the winds. We went in and stacking the winds. We went in and stacking the winds. We went in and snatched Maduro, got control of their snatched Maduro, got control of their snatched Maduro, got control of their oil, sort of. That's more complicated, oil, sort of. That's more complicated, oil, sort of. That's more complicated, but we're speedrunning. uh we went in but we're speedrunning. uh we went in but we're speedrunning. uh we went in and stopped Iran from getting nuclear and stopped Iran from getting nuclear and stopped Iran from getting nuclear weapons. Um we are now threatening a weapons. Um we are now threatening a weapons. Um we are now threatening a NATO ally in Denmark by saying we are NATO ally in Denmark by saying we are NATO ally in Denmark by saying we are going to take their territory whether going to take their territory whether going to take their territory whether they want us to or not. So uh we're also they want us to or not. So uh we're also they want us to or not. So uh we're also threatening Mexico. So it's like yeah if threatening Mexico. So it's like yeah if threatening Mexico. So it's like yeah if these things work like he's just going these things work like he's just going these things work like he's just going to keep going and keep going and keep to keep going and keep going and keep to keep going and keep going and keep going if it's making him more popular at going if it's making him more popular at going if it's making him more popular at home if it's making America more home if it's making America more home if it's making America more prosperous. The bad news is it actually prosperous. The bad news is it actually prosperous. The bad news is it actually might make America more prosperous and might make America more prosperous and might make America more prosperous and we have to grow our way out of this. So we have to grow our way out of this. So we have to grow our way out of this. So he's also deregulating and so the he's also deregulating and so the he's also deregulating and so the deregulations might make us more deregulations might make us more deregulations might make us more prosperous. The tariffs are prosperous. The tariffs are prosperous. The tariffs are theoretically and I definitely need to theoretically and I definitely need to theoretically and I definitely need to hedge here are theoretically forcing hedge here are theoretically forcing hedge here are theoretically forcing other countries and companies to make other countries and companies to make other countries and companies to make massive investments in America which you massive investments in America which you massive investments in America which you need to do. You must bring manufacturing need to do. You must bring manufacturing need to do. You must bring manufacturing back to the US throughidities trap. you back to the US throughidities trap. you back to the US throughidities trap. you are right now you have a 75 just looking are right now you have a 75 just looking are right now you have a 75 just looking at history you have a 75% chance to end at history you have a 75% chance to end at history you have a 75% chance to end up in a kinetic war with China you up in a kinetic war with China you up in a kinetic war with China you cannot given that you cannot let China cannot given that you cannot let China cannot given that you cannot let China control your military supply chain which control your military supply chain which control your military supply chain which right now they do right now they do right now they do >> so you have to do something you have to >> so you have to do something you have to >> so you have to do something you have to secure these rights but now getting into secure these rights but now getting into secure these rights but now getting into well there's multiple ways to lose well there's multiple ways to lose well there's multiple ways to lose weight why are we doing it the least weight why are we doing it the least weight why are we doing it the least healthy way humanly possible you get healthy way humanly possible you get healthy way humanly possible you get into this is the kind of leader with the into this is the kind of leader with the into this is the kind of leader with the kind of personality that is going to kind of personality that is going to kind of personality that is going to come to power in a moment like come to power in a moment like come to power in a moment like It is also an extraordinarily divided It is also an extraordinarily divided It is also an extraordinarily divided world and so getting people moving in a world and so getting people moving in a world and so getting people moving in a direction you need a quote unquote direction you need a quote unquote direction you need a quote unquote strong man. If he wasn't willing to strong man. If he wasn't willing to strong man. If he wasn't willing to force his will then people aren't going force his will then people aren't going force his will then people aren't going to line up behind him even in a company to line up behind him even in a company to line up behind him even in a company man like if I'm not forceful enough man like if I'm not forceful enough man like if I'm not forceful enough about what we want to do. Now I try to about what we want to do. Now I try to about what we want to do. Now I try to do it via enthusiasm but like if I let do it via enthusiasm but like if I let do it via enthusiasm but like if I let people who were quietly trying to people who were quietly trying to people who were quietly trying to undermine the things that I'm trying to undermine the things that I'm trying to undermine the things that I'm trying to do stay then that toxin is going to do stay then that toxin is going to do stay then that toxin is going to spread throughout the company. And so spread throughout the company. And so spread throughout the company. And so you've got to be very careful and I have you've got to be very careful and I have you've got to be very careful and I have many times throughout this company's many times throughout this company's many times throughout this company's history pruned the people that I think history pruned the people that I think history pruned the people that I think are creating toxicity and you have to do are creating toxicity and you have to do are creating toxicity and you have to do it. So anyway, you've got to have a it. So anyway, you've got to have a it. So anyway, you've got to have a forceful will. You've got to have clear forceful will. You've got to have clear forceful will. You've got to have clear direction in terms of what you're trying direction in terms of what you're trying direction in terms of what you're trying to accomplish. And then you've got to be to accomplish. And then you've got to be to accomplish. And then you've got to be able to use all of your leverage to able to use all of your leverage to able to use all of your leverage to actually get that stuff to move forward. actually get that stuff to move forward. actually get that stuff to move forward. Now again, I forgive me. I know people Now again, I forgive me. I know people Now again, I forgive me. I know people hate it when I use this word, but I just hate it when I use this word, but I just hate it when I use this word, but I just am not wired to bow to pressure.

At this point, it seems as US doing us. At this point, it seems as US doing us. At this point, it seems like Trump should be uh have his hands like Trump should be uh have his hands like Trump should be uh have his hands tied, but I mean, as the uh secret tied, but I mean, as the uh secret tied, but I mean, as the uh secret midnight Venezuela action means, he can midnight Venezuela action means, he can midnight Venezuela action means, he can always come up with another way. But it always come up with another way. But it always come up with another way. But it seems like he should probably let this seems like he should probably let this seems like he should probably let this go at least. go at least. go at least. >> I My advice to him would be immediately >> I My advice to him would be immediately >> I My advice to him would be immediately change course, get the things you change course, get the things you change course, get the things you actually need from Greenland, which is actually need from Greenland, which is actually need from Greenland, which is not ownership. You um his argumentation not ownership. You um his argumentation not ownership. You um his argumentation that you don't fight for a lease, you that you don't fight for a lease, you that you don't fight for a lease, you fight for ownership is dumb. you fight fight for ownership is dumb. you fight fight for ownership is dumb. you fight for national interests. So if your for national interests. So if your for national interests. So if your national interests require you to have a national interests require you to have a national interests require you to have a relationship with Greenland to uh make relationship with Greenland to uh make relationship with Greenland to uh make sure that you get the things that you sure that you get the things that you sure that you get the things that you need, whether you own it or not need, whether you own it or not need, whether you own it or not shouldn't matter. And so we've been shouldn't matter. And so we've been shouldn't matter. And so we've been trying to get a hold of Greenland for trying to get a hold of Greenland for trying to get a hold of Greenland for whatever 150 years or something, but whatever 150 years or something, but whatever 150 years or something, but we've done just fine without it. If you we've done just fine without it. If you we've done just fine without it. If you have reason to believe that Russia and have reason to believe that Russia and have reason to believe that Russia and China are, as the Brits would say, China are, as the Brits would say, China are, as the Brits would say, taking the piss, then it's like, well, taking the piss, then it's like, well, taking the piss, then it's like, well, draw red lines and say, okay, we're not draw red lines and say, okay, we're not draw red lines and say, okay, we're not going to allow this. And then it like going to allow this. And then it like going to allow this. And then it like then at least you're responding to then at least you're responding to then at least you're responding to something specific and you can get something specific and you can get something specific and you can get people on your side as to why you cannot people on your side as to why you cannot people on your side as to why you cannot tolerate that. Uh but right now it just tolerate that. Uh but right now it just tolerate that. Uh but right now it just literally seems like somebody who thinks literally seems like somebody who thinks literally seems like somebody who thinks that they can get away with it and so that they can get away with it and so that they can get away with it and so they're going to do it because they can, they're going to do it because they can, they're going to do it because they can, not because they actually need to or not because they actually need to or not because they actually need to or because they have to. So I'm not even because they have to. So I'm not even because they have to. So I'm not even saying that it wouldn't be wildly to our saying that it wouldn't be wildly to our saying that it wouldn't be wildly to our advantage to get Greenland. I'm sure it advantage to get Greenland. I'm sure it advantage to get Greenland. I'm sure it would be. Uh but again, you've got to would be. Uh but again, you've got to would be.

So, this is not me overesteeming the visionary. is not me overesteeming the visionary. is not me overesteeming the visionary. But if you only have an operator and you But if you only have an operator and you But if you only have an operator and you don't have a visionary, then you get don't have a visionary, then you get don't have a visionary, then you get what's happening to Apple now, which is what's happening to Apple now, which is what's happening to Apple now, which is you're able to produce pieces of [ __ ] you're able to produce pieces of [ __ ] you're able to produce pieces of [ __ ] very very efficiently.

I going to flood into the system. I going to flood into the system. I remember when we first launched Quest, remember when we first launched Quest, remember when we first launched Quest, we looked so different than everybody we looked so different than everybody we looked so different than everybody else. Everybody else was red and black else. Everybody else was red and black else. Everybody else was red and black and color schemes in the industry and color schemes in the industry and color schemes in the industry >> because it was largely aimed at >> because it was largely aimed at >> because it was largely aimed at bodybuilders. And so, everybody's red bodybuilders. And so, everybody's red bodybuilders. And so, everybody's red and black and they did what we called and black and they did what we called and black and they did what we called veins and chains marketing. So, it was veins and chains marketing. So, it was veins and chains marketing. So, it was always big guys, red and black color always big guys, red and black color always big guys, red and black color scheme, gigantic muscles, their veins scheme, gigantic muscles, their veins scheme, gigantic muscles, their veins everywhere, and they would literally everywhere, and they would literally everywhere, and they would literally have chains draped around their neck. have chains draped around their neck. have chains draped around their neck. And that was what all the competing And that was what all the competing And that was what all the competing brands look like that were marketing to brands look like that were marketing to brands look like that were marketing to bodybuilders because our first market bodybuilders because our first market bodybuilders because our first market was bodybuilders. was bodybuilders. was bodybuilders. And so, we did something totally And so, we did something totally And so, we did something totally different. We went food porn. Uh, and I different. We went food porn. Uh, and I different. We went food porn. Uh, and I became obsessed with getting what we became obsessed with getting what we became obsessed with getting what we would now call impact theory blue. Uh, would now call impact theory blue. Uh, would now call impact theory blue. Uh, and I'd done like this research on color and I'd done like this research on color and I'd done like this research on color and making people feel creative and it and making people feel creative and it and making people feel creative and it feeling like something that would appeal feeling like something that would appeal feeling like something that would appeal to both men and women. And women ended to both men and women. And women ended to both men and women. And women ended up being a huge part of um what made us up being a huge part of um what made us up being a huge part of um what made us so financially successful. They control so financially successful. They control so financially successful. They control all the shopping dollars. So anyway, uh all the shopping dollars. So anyway, uh all the shopping dollars. So anyway, uh when we first would go to bodybuilding when we first would go to bodybuilding when we first would go to bodybuilding like events and we had a booth there, we like events and we had a booth there, we like events and we had a booth there, we stood out like a sore thumb. Every you stood out like a sore thumb. Every you stood out like a sore thumb. Every you very easy to find us. 18 months later, I very easy to find us. 18 months later, I very easy to find us. 18 months later, I walked to the wrong booth because walked to the wrong booth because walked to the wrong booth because somebody had so mimicked our brand that somebody had so mimicked our brand that somebody had so mimicked our brand that out of the corner of my eye, I just out of the corner of my eye, I just out of the corner of my eye, I just assumed it was us. And I was like, "Oh, assumed it was us. And I was like, "Oh, assumed it was us. And I was like, "Oh, damn." So, it's like really happening. damn." So, it's like really happening. damn." So, it's like really happening. Then people start like hiring people. Then people start like hiring people. Then people start like hiring people. So, they hire somebody to go work at So, they hire somebody to go work at So, they hire somebody to go work at Quest. So, their job is to get a job at Quest. So, their job is to get a job at Quest. So, their job is to get a job at Quest, learn our manufacturing Quest, learn our manufacturing Quest, learn our manufacturing techniques, and then leave. It's called techniques, and then leave. It's called techniques, and then leave. It's called corporate espionage. And so, we had corporate espionage. And so, we had corporate espionage. And so, we had that. It was really, it started getting that. It was really, it started getting that. It was really, it started getting wild. And so people started mimicking wild. And so people started mimicking wild.

Um it's it's very interesting because it seems like OpenAI is going because it seems like OpenAI is going because it seems like OpenAI is going all in on this uh hardware project. Um all in on this uh hardware project. Um all in on this uh hardware project. Um so from latest reports is that is so from latest reports is that is so from latest reports is that is something that's going to replace like a something that's going to replace like a something that's going to replace like a AirPod called Sweet Pea. It's supposed AirPod called Sweet Pea. It's supposed AirPod called Sweet Pea. It's supposed to be basically a smartphone in your to be basically a smartphone in your to be basically a smartphone in your ear, but I'm I'm sure they're going to ear, but I'm I'm sure they're going to ear, but I'm I'm sure they're going to lean into the um the translations and lean into the um the translations and lean into the um the translations and that type of real world interaction kind that type of real world interaction kind that type of real world interaction kind of looking like her um like the her of looking like her um like the her of looking like her um like the her ecosystem. So, I mean, do you think ecosystem. So, I mean, do you think ecosystem. So, I mean, do you think hardware can save them and maybe that's hardware can save them and maybe that's hardware can save them and maybe that's where they differentiate because where they differentiate because where they differentiate because everybody could be a chat? everybody could be a chat? everybody could be a chat? >> Nothing is ever going to be a forever >> Nothing is ever going to be a forever >> Nothing is ever going to be a forever thing. So, I think honestly thing. So, I think honestly thing. So, I think honestly infrastructure is the thing that's going infrastructure is the thing that's going infrastructure is the thing that's going to save them. So, as long as they don't to save them. So, as long as they don't to save them. So, as long as they don't run out of the ability to raise capital, run out of the ability to raise capital, run out of the ability to raise capital, they're going to be fine. um they're they're going to be fine. um they're they're going to be fine. um they're embedded with the US government or at embedded with the US government or at embedded with the US government or at least they were with whatever project least they were with whatever project least they were with whatever project Stargate or whatever it was called. Uh Stargate or whatever it was called. Uh Stargate or whatever it was called. Uh so assuming that that's actually real so assuming that that's actually real so assuming that that's actually real and still moving that gives them a very and still moving that gives them a very and still moving that gives them a very defensible position. This is another defensible position. This is another defensible position. This is another great thing if they can generate real great thing if they can generate real great thing if they can generate real revenue off of these things even if it revenue off of these things even if it revenue off of these things even if it doesn't end up being the final solution. doesn't end up being the final solution. doesn't end up being the final solution. if it's like the first big wave and it if it's like the first big wave and it if it's like the first big wave and it buys them three to five years um of you buys them three to five years um of you buys them three to five years um of you know billions and billions of dollars of know billions and billions of dollars of know billions and billions of dollars of revenue um that could be a very big win revenue um that could be a very big win revenue um that could be a very big win for them but they'll have to keep for them but they'll have to keep for them but they'll have to keep reinventing because then just like with reinventing because then just like with reinventing because then just like with the iPhone then uh a bunch of people the iPhone then uh a bunch of people the iPhone then uh a bunch of people started making smartphones so um you do started making smartphones so um you do started making smartphones so um you do want to go in grab market share early want to go in grab market share early want to go in grab market share early Peter Teal talks about this competition Peter Teal talks about this competition Peter Teal talks about this competition is for suckers so it's like they're is for suckers so it's like they're is for suckers so it's like they're going to want to go into this white going to want to go into this white going to want to go into this white space nobody else is there claim space nobody else is there claim space nobody else is there claim dominance uh and then hopefully they'll dominance uh and then hopefully they'll dominance uh and then hopefully they'll be able to gobble up enough market share be able to gobble up enough market share be able to gobble up enough market share that they can establish themselves as that they can establish themselves as that they can establish themselves as truly dominant that they'll always be truly dominant that they'll always be truly dominant that they'll always be the one that people think of. I think the one that people think of. I think the one that people think of. I think they still have that lead from an AI they still have that lead from an AI they still have that lead from an AI perspective. Like when my mom thinks of perspective. Like when my mom thinks of perspective. Like when my mom thinks of AI, AI, AI, >> she thinks of >> she thinks of >> she thinks of >> open AI. Yeah, Ched GBT. So, um there's >> open AI. Yeah, Ched GBT. So, um there's >> open AI. Yeah, Ched GBT. So, um there's they still have huge advantages with they still have huge advantages with they still have huge advantages with that. But if people like Elon that just that. But if people like Elon that just that. But if people like Elon that just moves at a rate that other people just moves at a rate that other people just moves at a rate that other people just cannot keep up with is able to make cannot keep up with is able to make cannot keep up with is able to make Grock better than everything else by Grock better than everything else by Grock better than everything else by meaningful margin, then he could really meaningful margin, then he could really meaningful margin, then he could really begin to, you know, steal share over the begin to, you know, steal share over the begin to, you know, steal share over the next call 18 months to three years. next call 18 months to three years. next call 18 months to three years. We'll see. It's hard. We'll see. It's hard. We'll see. It's hard. >> And they just announced the mega cluster >> And they just announced the mega cluster >> And they just announced the mega cluster in Miss Mississippi, too.

This is one if you're at home, lean in. uh stay close to the engineers. uh stay close to the engineers. uh stay close to the engineers. That's like when I really try to analyze That's like when I really try to analyze That's like when I really try to analyze what makes him so different. He what makes him so different. He what makes him so different. He understands the engineering. That's very understands the engineering. That's very understands the engineering. That's very important. And he stays close to the important. And he stays close to the important. And he stays close to the engineers. So with Kaizen, the video engineers. So with Kaizen, the video engineers. So with Kaizen, the video game that we're building, I'm now game that we're building, I'm now game that we're building, I'm now learning how to actually do the learning how to actually do the learning how to actually do the engineering, not because I expect to be engineering, not because I expect to be engineering, not because I expect to be writing C++ code. I don't. But I want to writing C++ code. I don't. But I want to writing C++ code. I don't. But I want to be able to understand where the be able to understand where the be able to understand where the limitations are. And to do that, I've limitations are. And to do that, I've limitations are. And to do that, I've got to go in and actually start making got to go in and actually start making got to go in and actually start making changes to the game. I'm not doing it changes to the game. I'm not doing it changes to the game. I'm not doing it the level of code. I'm doing it the the level of code. I'm doing it the the level of code. I'm doing it the level of um Unreal Engine blueprints. level of um Unreal Engine blueprints. level of um Unreal Engine blueprints. But still being able to go in and edit But still being able to go in and edit But still being able to go in and edit the data tables myself, being able to the data tables myself, being able to the data tables myself, being able to change the blueprints myself. Like that change the blueprints myself. Like that change the blueprints myself. Like that kind of stuff, I think is going to go a kind of stuff, I think is going to go a kind of stuff, I think is going to go a long way towards a not being bamboozled. long way towards a not being bamboozled. long way towards a not being bamboozled. So if somebody tells me, "Oh, that takes So if somebody tells me, "Oh, that takes So if somebody tells me, "Oh, that takes a long time. Hold on, why don't we just a long time. Hold on, why don't we just a long time. Hold on, why don't we just do this, this, or this?" Uh when you've do this, this, or this?" Uh when you've do this, this, or this?" Uh when you've got other options, it's very, very got other options, it's very, very got other options, it's very, very helpful. Um so yeah, so often I see helpful. Um so yeah, so often I see helpful. Um so yeah, so often I see people think to themselves, well, that's people think to themselves, well, that's people think to themselves, well, that's not really what I do. you know, I'll not really what I do. you know, I'll not really what I do. you know, I'll leave that to those guys. But the more leave that to those guys. But the more leave that to those guys. But the more that you understand it, especially that you understand it, especially that you understand it, especially engineering, the more that you don't get engineering, the more that you don't get engineering, the more that you don't get trapped in, well, this is how it's trapped in, well, this is how it's trapped in, well, this is how it's always done. The more you don't get always done. The more you don't get always done. The more you don't get trapped in analogy, can actually get trapped in analogy, can actually get trapped in analogy, can actually get down to first principles thinking down to first principles thinking down to first principles thinking because you understand how these things because you understand how these things because you understand how these things are built. Um, so yeah, anyway, no are built. Um, so yeah, anyway, no are built. Um, so yeah, anyway, no matter what you're doing in life, matter what you're doing in life, matter what you're doing in life, getting to that stage is going to be getting to that stage is going to be getting to that stage is going to be very important. very important. very important. Uh, and last but not least, uh, Donald Uh, and last but not least, uh, Donald Uh, and last but not least, uh, Donald Trump had some colorful words for a, uh, Trump had some colorful words for a, uh, Trump had some colorful words for a, uh, worker at a Ford plant yesterday.

And Trump mouth, pedophile protector." And Trump mouth, pedophile protector." And Trump mouth, he points at him and then mouths to him, he points at him and then mouths to him, he points at him and then mouths to him, "Fuck you." And then gives him the "Fuck you." And then gives him the "Fuck you." And then gives him the middle finger. This is the president of middle finger. This is the president of middle finger. This is the president of the United States. Listen, if you're the United States. Listen, if you're the United States. Listen, if you're going to be in a populist moment, be be going to be in a populist moment, be be going to be in a populist moment, be be full populist. I guess full populist. I guess full populist.

I have to say that there is something about that part that there is something about that part that there is something about that part of his personality that I like. So of his personality that I like. So of his personality that I like. So pettiness, pettiness, pettiness, >> the I'm just going to be human and if >> the I'm just going to be human and if >> the I'm just going to be human and if you're a dick to me, then I'm going to you're a dick to me, then I'm going to you're a dick to me, then I'm going to be a dick. Whatever. It's just there's a be a dick. Whatever. It's just there's a be a dick. Whatever. It's just there's a level of transparency. So like Trump, he level of transparency. So like Trump, he level of transparency. So like Trump, he can keep secrets. There's no doubt about can keep secrets. There's no doubt about can keep secrets. There's no doubt about that. But he reveals so much more than that. But he reveals so much more than that. But he reveals so much more than the average politician because he just the average politician because he just the average politician because he just says the thing. And so then you can says the thing. And so then you can says the thing. And so then you can decide, do I like that we're doing this decide, do I like that we're doing this decide, do I like that we're doing this thing or not? You don't have to wonder. thing or not? You don't have to wonder. thing or not? You don't have to wonder. I want control of Venezuela's oil. So we I want control of Venezuela's oil. So we I want control of Venezuela's oil. So we went in and we snatched up the dictator. went in and we snatched up the dictator. went in and we snatched up the dictator. Aren't you supposed to lie or like Aren't you supposed to lie or like Aren't you supposed to lie or like offiscate that? No, no, no. We went in offiscate that? No, no, no. We went in offiscate that? No, no, no. We went in because we can. We snatched them up. We because we can. We snatched them up. We because we can. We snatched them up. We now control the oil. Who's the president now control the oil. Who's the president now control the oil. Who's the president of or who's running uh Venezuela? I'm of or who's running uh Venezuela? I'm of or who's running uh Venezuela? I'm the de facto president. It's like, damn. the de facto president. It's like, damn. the de facto president. It's like, damn. Like, he just says the thing. And so, Like, he just says the thing. And so, Like, he just says the thing. And so, there is something that feels far less there is something that feels far less there is something that feels far less alien about that. Obviously, if you've alien about that. Obviously, if you've alien about that. Obviously, if you've been here since the beginning of this been here since the beginning of this been here since the beginning of this live, you know that I have serious beef live, you know that I have serious beef live, you know that I have serious beef with his diplomacy. Uh, but I would be with his diplomacy. Uh, but I would be with his diplomacy. Uh, but I would be lying if I said I don't chuckle to lying if I said I don't chuckle to lying if I said I don't chuckle to myself when I see him do stuff like myself when I see him do stuff like myself when I see him do stuff like that. It's very unpresidential, but it's that. It's very unpresidential, but it's that. It's very unpresidential, but it's still funny. still funny. still funny. >> We shall see. We shall see. Um, yeah. I >> We shall see. We shall see. Um, yeah. I >> We shall see. We shall see. Um, yeah. I guess the the plan I don't know if I if guess the the plan I don't know if I if guess the the plan I don't know if I if you're the CEO and like would do you say you're the CEO and like would do you say you're the CEO and like would do you say something? Do you just let him do it? something? Do you just let him do it? something? Do you just let him do it? Like Like Like >> you just let him do it because you >> you just let him do it because you >> you just let him do it because you understand that am I going to make a understand that am I going to make a understand that am I going to make a stand on that? stand on that? stand on that? >> Probably not. Uh, depending on your >> Probably not. Uh, depending on your >> Probably not. Uh, depending on your relationship with him, you might tease relationship with him, you might tease relationship with him, you might tease him or whatever, or depending on who you him or whatever, or depending on who you him or whatever, or depending on who you are, you might find that guy and get him are, you might find that guy and get him are, you might find that guy and get him fired. Like, who knows? I have no idea fired. Like, who knows? I have no idea fired. Like, who knows? I have no idea what the CEO of Ford is like, but that what the CEO of Ford is like, but that what the CEO of Ford is like, but that the guy yelled like, you get the the guy yelled like, you get the the guy yelled like, you get the president to come to your factory, which president to come to your factory, which president to come to your factory, which is a big win. It gives you an is a big win. It gives you an is a big win. It gives you an opportunity to be in his ear to opportunity to be in his ear to opportunity to be in his ear to potentially uh know where the US is potentially uh know where the US is potentially uh know where the US is going from a policy perspective and going from a policy perspective and going from a policy perspective and position yourself that way, win a position yourself that way, win a position yourself that way, win a contract that might be advantageous to contract that might be advantageous to contract that might be advantageous to the company. And so to have a guy the company. And so to have a guy the company. And so to have a guy yelling some [ __ ] out like that is a far yelling some [ __ ] out like that is a far yelling some [ __ ] out like that is a far cry from my deal. It's like keep your cry from my deal. It's like keep your cry from my deal. It's like keep your [ __ ] politics to yourself like we're [ __ ] politics to yourself like we're [ __ ] politics to yourself like we're trying to do something that's good for trying to do something that's good for trying to do something that's good for the company which will then be good for the company which will then be good for the company which will then be good for you. So um yeah I I would also have beef you. So um yeah I I would also have beef you. So um yeah I I would also have beef with that guy. But my response would be with that guy. But my response would be with that guy. But my response would be to say I want to see that guy and I want to say I want to see that guy and I want to say I want to see that guy and I want to talk to him and I want to address the to talk to him and I want to address the to talk to him and I want to address the company as a whole and say listen company as a whole and say listen company as a whole and say listen understand that we live in a country understand that we live in a country understand that we live in a country that has um policies that can hurt or that has um policies that can hurt or that has um policies that can hurt or advantage us that have contracts that we advantage us that have contracts that we advantage us that have contracts that we might be able to bid for that could hurt might be able to bid for that could hurt might be able to bid for that could hurt or if we lose could disadvantage us. Uh or if we lose could disadvantage us. Uh or if we lose could disadvantage us. Uh and so we need to be thoughtful about and so we need to be thoughtful about and so we need to be thoughtful about our own diplomacy. And so you guys our own diplomacy. And so you guys our own diplomacy. And so you guys acting a fool and yelling at somebody acting a fool and yelling at somebody acting a fool and yelling at somebody that could help us do something good that could help us do something good that could help us do something good with the company, that's crazy. That's with the company, that's crazy. That's with the company, that's crazy. That's self-defeating. I'm certainly not going self-defeating. I'm certainly not going self-defeating. I'm certainly not going to fire the guy, such as my way. But um to fire the guy, such as my way. But um to fire the guy, such as my way.
