Like at one CNN of Trump is insane. Like at one CNN of Trump is insane. Like at one CNN report that it was 100% report that it was 100% report that it was 100% support of Donald Trump. Now, obviously support of Donald Trump. Now, obviously support of Donald Trump. Now, obviously margin of error, it's never going to be margin of error, it's never going to be margin of error, it's never going to be 100%. But that is wild. So if this 100%. But that is wild. So if this 100%. But that is wild. So if this really is somebody that just is so good really is somebody that just is so good really is somebody that just is so good at messaging to his base, okay, fine. at messaging to his base, okay, fine. at messaging to his base, okay, fine. But like when you're the way that we get But like when you're the way that we get But like when you're the way that we get sucked into these wars is that you as sucked into these wars is that you as sucked into these wars is that you as the supreme leader of America the supreme leader of America the supreme leader of America >> I hate every I had to Drew but you are >> I hate every I had to Drew but you are >> I hate every I had to Drew but you are able to especially in foreign affairs able to especially in foreign affairs able to especially in foreign affairs you're able to go into these military you're able to go into these military you're able to go into these military conflicts at least in the beginning you conflicts at least in the beginning you conflicts at least in the beginning you have a limited window but you can be have a limited window but you can be have a limited window but you can be very aggressive and do a lot with the very aggressive and do a lot with the very aggressive and do a lot with the executive powers and they don't realize executive powers and they don't realize executive powers and they don't realize how hard it is to get back out. And so how hard it is to get back out. And so how hard it is to get back out. And so that's where it's like, man, you you that's where it's like, man, you you that's where it's like, man, you you look back on history and it is just one look back on history and it is just one look back on history and it is just one conflict after another where easy to get conflict after another where easy to get conflict after another where easy to get in, easy to get those initial wins. They in, easy to get those initial wins. They in, easy to get those initial wins. They are wins and you really are um knocking are wins and you really are um knocking are wins and you really are um knocking that country back. all of the things that country back. all of the things that country back. all of the things that they're saying that we're doing are that they're saying that we're doing are that they're saying that we're doing are true, but they never talk about the fact true, but they never talk about the fact true, but they never talk about the fact that the asymmetrical insurgencies that that the asymmetrical insurgencies that that the asymmetrical insurgencies that these countries can run forever will these countries can run forever will these countries can run forever will eventually boot you out of the country. eventually boot you out of the country. eventually boot you out of the country. If you don't have a willingness to rule If you don't have a willingness to rule If you don't have a willingness to rule by force and come in and be your own by force and come in and be your own by force and come in and be your own dictator and just crush descent, uh then dictator and just crush descent, uh then dictator and just crush descent, uh then you're going to see another popular you're going to see another popular you're going to see another popular uprising to boot you out. And so for me, uprising to boot you out. And so for me, uprising to boot you out. And so for me, if you don't look at Afghanistan and go, if you don't look at Afghanistan and go, if you don't look at Afghanistan and go, wait, it's a bunch of dudes and sandals wait, it's a bunch of dudes and sandals wait, it's a bunch of dudes and sandals and AK-47s trying to herd goats and kill and AK-47s trying to herd goats and kill and AK-47s trying to herd goats and kill you, and they still managed to pull it you, and they still managed to pull it you, and they still managed to pull it off.

They got the They got Russia to leave. They got the US to leave. It's like, this is just a US to leave. It's like, this is just a US to leave. It's like, this is just a thing. And so for him, again, from a thing. And so for him, again, from a thing. And so for him, again, from a messaging perspective, if you want to be messaging perspective, if you want to be messaging perspective, if you want to be cocky, fine. But I need to know that he cocky, fine. But I need to know that he cocky, fine. But I need to know that he understands that putting boots on the understands that putting boots on the understands that putting boots on the ground is like you're stepping into ground is like you're stepping into ground is like you're stepping into quicksand. doesn't mean it's impossible quicksand. doesn't mean it's impossible quicksand. doesn't mean it's impossible to get out, but it does mean like that's to get out, but it does mean like that's to get out, but it does mean like that's a pretty dangerous move and you need to a pretty dangerous move and you need to a pretty dangerous move and you need to be very careful. be very careful. be very careful. >> And right on Q, the Pentagon did >> And right on Q, the Pentagon did >> And right on Q, the Pentagon did announce that there'll be anywhere from announce that there'll be anywhere from announce that there'll be anywhere from 1,000 to 3,000.

So, we're ready for a pretty big fight if it comes to that. pretty big fight if it comes to that. pretty big fight if it comes to that. So, um, all of this is really, when you So, um, all of this is really, when you So, um, all of this is really, when you look at the way that Trump moves, it's look at the way that Trump moves, it's look at the way that Trump moves, it's becoming a recurring theme in his becoming a recurring theme in his becoming a recurring theme in his strategies that as he negotiates, as strategies that as he negotiates, as strategies that as he negotiates, as he's like, "Hey, we want to find a he's like, "Hey, we want to find a he's like, "Hey, we want to find a diplomatic solution to this," he also diplomatic solution to this," he also diplomatic solution to this," he also builds up military force so that if builds up military force so that if builds up military force so that if things are not going exactly the way things are not going exactly the way things are not going exactly the way that he wants, he's going to go in guns that he wants, he's going to go in guns that he wants, he's going to go in guns blazing. Now, I don't know that it's blazing. Now, I don't know that it's blazing. Now, I don't know that it's necessarily a bad strategy. He is necessarily a bad strategy. He is necessarily a bad strategy. He is showing the world that he is willing to showing the world that he is willing to showing the world that he is willing to um if you call his bluff, he will back um if you call his bluff, he will back um if you call his bluff, he will back it up. Now, I'm not saying that it's it up. Now, I'm not saying that it's it up. Now, I'm not saying that it's wise strategically, but from a tactical wise strategically, but from a tactical wise strategically, but from a tactical standpoint, standpoint, standpoint, yes, like that actually works. People yes, like that actually works. People yes, like that actually works. People understand, okay, like this guy's understand, okay, like this guy's understand, okay, like this guy's definitely here to play. But it has a definitely here to play. But it has a definitely here to play. But it has a flip side which and the Iranians are flip side which and the Iranians are flip side which and the Iranians are speaking directly to this although I speaking directly to this although I speaking directly to this although I never know who I can believe out of the never know who I can believe out of the never know who I can believe out of the whether it's a pundant or somebody whether it's a pundant or somebody whether it's a pundant or somebody officially in the regime but they're officially in the regime but they're officially in the regime but they're saying we don't trust this guy like saying we don't trust this guy like saying we don't trust this guy like every time we go to negotiate then he every time we go to negotiate then he every time we go to negotiate then he attacks. Now at the same time anybody attacks. Now at the same time anybody attacks. Now at the same time anybody that's been paying attention to Iran for that's been paying attention to Iran for that's been paying attention to Iran for long enough knows you can't trust the long enough knows you can't trust the long enough knows you can't trust the Iranians. So they will try to drag Iranians. So they will try to drag Iranians. So they will try to drag things out stall as long as they can. things out stall as long as they can. things out stall as long as they can. And so all of that stuff becomes uh a And so all of that stuff becomes uh a And so all of that stuff becomes uh a bit of a quagmire if you're actually bit of a quagmire if you're actually bit of a quagmire if you're actually trying to get to the other side of an trying to get to the other side of an trying to get to the other side of an actual peaceful negotiation. If neither actual peaceful negotiation. If neither actual peaceful negotiation. If neither side trusts the other side to do what side trusts the other side to do what side trusts the other side to do what they say they're going to do, um then they say they're going to do, um then they say they're going to do, um then the odds of the talks being fruitful go the odds of the talks being fruitful go the odds of the talks being fruitful go way, way down. On the same day that the way, way down. On the same day that the way, way down. On the same day that the Pentagon issued the transit orders, the Pentagon issued the transit orders, the Pentagon issued the transit orders, the Trump administration submitted a 15point Trump administration submitted a 15point Trump administration submitted a 15point ceasefire proposal to Tyrron. So you can ceasefire proposal to Tyrron. So you can ceasefire proposal to Tyrron. So you can imagine being in that negotiation, it's imagine being in that negotiation, it's imagine being in that negotiation, it's like, hold on a second. uh you're like, hold on a second. uh you're like, hold on a second. uh you're telling me this is what you want me to telling me this is what you want me to telling me this is what you want me to do and then over here you're like yeah do and then over here you're like yeah do and then over here you're like yeah yeah yeah go build up more troops give yeah yeah go build up more troops give yeah yeah go build up more troops give me that lightning strike special me that lightning strike special me that lightning strike special paramilitary group uh that can drop in paramilitary group uh that can drop in paramilitary group uh that can drop in and take Car Island if I need to. Now it and take Car Island if I need to. Now it and take Car Island if I need to. Now it makes it very clear uh that if you don't makes it very clear uh that if you don't makes it very clear uh that if you don't yield to these demands that we are going yield to these demands that we are going yield to these demands that we are going to make a move. Now the proposal that to make a move. Now the proposal that to make a move. Now the proposal that Trump put demands that Iran permanently Trump put demands that Iran permanently Trump put demands that Iran permanently abandon its nuclear weapons program and abandon its nuclear weapons program and abandon its nuclear weapons program and dismantle existing capabilities. Trump dismantle existing capabilities. Trump dismantle existing capabilities. Trump has been banging the drums saying that has been banging the drums saying that has been banging the drums saying that they're ready to agree. They've already they're ready to agree. They've already they're ready to agree. They've already agreed. So, we'll see if that's real. agreed. So, we'll see if that's real. agreed. So, we'll see if that's real.

I mean, in fairness to Trump, I >> Yeah. I mean, in fairness to Trump, I >> Yeah. I mean, in fairness to Trump, I don't He says that the war is won. He don't He says that the war is won. He don't He says that the war is won. He says that it's going to be short, but says that it's going to be short, but says that it's going to be short, but he's not exactly saying like, "We're he's not exactly saying like, "We're he's not exactly saying like, "We're pulling out today." So, I think he's pulling out today." So, I think he's pulling out today." So, I think he's pretty consistent. Here are the things pretty consistent. Here are the things pretty consistent. Here are the things they will have to agree to. If they they will have to agree to. If they they will have to agree to. If they don't agree to them, I'm going to keep don't agree to them, I'm going to keep don't agree to them, I'm going to keep blowing [ __ ] up to and including their blowing [ __ ] up to and including their blowing [ __ ] up to and including their infrastructure. I hope they don't force infrastructure. I hope they don't force infrastructure. I hope they don't force me to do it, but I will do it if they me to do it, but I will do it if they me to do it, but I will do it if they force me. And so what how you read if force me. And so what how you read if force me. And so what how you read if they force me they force me they force me >> is, you know, going to determine where >> is, you know, going to determine where >> is, you know, going to determine where you come down on whether what Trump is you come down on whether what Trump is you come down on whether what Trump is doing is right, just, whatever. doing is right, just, whatever. doing is right, just, whatever. >> Um the I'll just plant a flag again to >> Um the I'll just plant a flag again to >> Um the I'll just plant a flag again to remind everybody. The real thing to remind everybody. The real thing to remind everybody. The real thing to think about is how many people had Iran think about is how many people had Iran think about is how many people had Iran on their radar in a big way um before he on their radar in a big way um before he on their radar in a big way um before he went in. And so there is a normalization went in. And so there is a normalization went in. And so there is a normalization of like very few people now are still of like very few people now are still of like very few people now are still banging the drum of just full stop. We banging the drum of just full stop. We banging the drum of just full stop. We shouldn't be in Iran. certainly not on shouldn't be in Iran. certainly not on shouldn't be in Iran. certainly not on the call it mega crowd the call it mega crowd the call it mega crowd >> and that's where I constantly remind >> and that's where I constantly remind >> and that's where I constantly remind myself to say okay if I wasn't banging myself to say okay if I wasn't banging myself to say okay if I wasn't banging the drum about the threat of Iran I need the drum about the threat of Iran I need the drum about the threat of Iran I need to really check my uh mental map of what to really check my uh mental map of what to really check my uh mental map of what am I going to learn about this as to why am I going to learn about this as to why am I going to learn about this as to why I didn't see this as a problem that we I didn't see this as a problem that we I didn't see this as a problem that we should be focused on I really didn't see should be focused on I really didn't see should be focused on I really didn't see Venezuela coming like that wasn't on my Venezuela coming like that wasn't on my Venezuela coming like that wasn't on my radar so it's like okay cool there are radar so it's like okay cool there are radar so it's like okay cool there are things from a geopolitical perspective things from a geopolitical perspective things from a geopolitical perspective that I don't have pre-mapped out and I that I don't have pre-mapped out and I that I don't have pre-mapped out and I think this is part of what made think this is part of what made think this is part of what made professor J. Young so interesting to professor J. Young so interesting to professor J. Young so interesting to people was he called this almost two people was he called this almost two people was he called this almost two years ago. So he was mapping something years ago. So he was mapping something years ago. So he was mapping something about the interconnectedness of the US, about the interconnectedness of the US, about the interconnectedness of the US, China, oil, the Middle East in a way China, oil, the Middle East in a way China, oil, the Middle East in a way that other people weren't mapping that that other people weren't mapping that that other people weren't mapping that had higher predictive validity. And so had higher predictive validity. And so had higher predictive validity. And so that I think is really important for that I think is really important for that I think is really important for people to understand that the things people to understand that the things people to understand that the things that they're not able to map well. And that they're not able to map well. And that they're not able to map well. And so when you become purely reactive to so when you become purely reactive to so when you become purely reactive to what's happening, that's where it gets a what's happening, that's where it gets a what's happening, that's where it gets a little bit dangerous. And so um the little bit dangerous. And so um the little bit dangerous. And so um the place that I've been focused on is China place that I've been focused on is China place that I've been focused on is China economics. China economics, right? So economics. China economics, right? So economics. China economics, right? So that whole triangle I understand pretty that whole triangle I understand pretty that whole triangle I understand pretty well, but I do remind myself um when we well, but I do remind myself um when we well, but I do remind myself um when we started dropping bombs the first time on started dropping bombs the first time on started dropping bombs the first time on Iran, I did not see that coming. Iran, I did not see that coming. Iran, I did not see that coming. >> And so and then I was super confused >> And so and then I was super confused >> And so and then I was super confused that he was going back into Iran. So I that he was going back into Iran. So I that he was going back into Iran. So I did not have a mental map. I I did not have a mental map. I I did not have a mental map. I I understood the things that people were understood the things that people were understood the things that people were saying, but I did not understand sort of saying, but I did not understand sort of saying, but I did not understand sort of the real cause and effect that was going the real cause and effect that was going the real cause and effect that was going on beneath the surface. Um, so yeah, on beneath the surface. Um, so yeah, on beneath the surface. Um, so yeah, important to look at that. Okay. Anyway, important to look at that. Okay. Anyway, important to look at that. Okay. Anyway, having said all that, um, now when I having said all that, um, now when I having said all that, um, now when I look at what Trump is doing, he's being look at what Trump is doing, he's being look at what Trump is doing, he's being very clear. He's got an agenda. He's very clear. He's got an agenda. He's very clear. He's got an agenda. He's said over and over, people will say that said over and over, people will say that said over and over, people will say that he doesn't he's not being clear about he doesn't he's not being clear about he doesn't he's not being clear about what he wants. He's not being clear what he wants. He's not being clear what he wants. He's not being clear about what he will do to get it, and about what he will do to get it, and about what he will do to get it, and he's not being clear about what he will he's not being clear about what he will he's not being clear about what he will do to exit if he doesn't get it. But do to exit if he doesn't get it. But do to exit if he doesn't get it. But he's being very clear about what he he's being very clear about what he he's being very clear about what he wants to get. So, um, on that front, wants to get. So, um, on that front, wants to get. So, um, on that front, it's like, I'm driving towards this. it's like, I'm driving towards this. it's like, I'm driving towards this. This is exactly what we're going to do. This is exactly what we're going to do. This is exactly what we're going to do. We're going to bomb them back into the We're going to bomb them back into the We're going to bomb them back into the stone age. I hope they agree. If they stone age. I hope they agree. If they stone age. I hope they agree. If they don't, we're going to start taking apart don't, we're going to start taking apart don't, we're going to start taking apart their infrastructure. Then Iran is their infrastructure. Then Iran is their infrastructure. Then Iran is saying what they're going to do. And saying what they're going to do. And saying what they're going to do. And that's where I worry is that because that's where I worry is that because that's where I worry is that because there's no uh, one, he couldn't message there's no uh, one, he couldn't message there's no uh, one, he couldn't message it even if he did have it because now it even if he did have it because now it even if he did have it because now you're going to queue off um, Iran like you're going to queue off um, Iran like you're going to queue off um, Iran like what the price is that we're willing to what the price is that we're willing to what the price is that we're willing to pay and where we're going to hard tap pay and where we're going to hard tap pay and where we're going to hard tap out. odd reference, but that's exactly out. odd reference, but that's exactly out. odd reference, but that's exactly what happened to FTX when they imploded what happened to FTX when they imploded what happened to FTX when they imploded was because what's her name? Caroline was because what's her name? Caroline was because what's her name? Caroline something um signaled basically this is something um signaled basically this is something um signaled basically this is what we're willing to pay. And so people what we're willing to pay. And so people what we're willing to pay. And so people were like, "Oh, cool. Then we're just were like, "Oh, cool. Then we're just were like, "Oh, cool. Then we're just going to push the price beyond that and going to push the price beyond that and going to push the price beyond that and you're not going to be able to pay you're not going to be able to pay you're not going to be able to pay anymore." And that's how they collapsed anymore." And that's how they collapsed anymore." And that's how they collapsed it. And so you would get a similar it. And so you would get a similar it. And so you would get a similar effect if Trump was like, um, you know, effect if Trump was like, um, you know, effect if Trump was like, um, you know, this is like what we're going to do to this is like what we're going to do to this is like what we're going to do to exit if we're not able to get them to do exit if we're not able to get them to do exit if we're not able to get them to do XYZ. Then they go, "Oh, cool. We're just XYZ. Then they go, "Oh, cool. We're just XYZ. Then they go, "Oh, cool. We're just not going to let you do XYZ." and then not going to let you do XYZ." and then not going to let you do XYZ." and then we know what your exit plan is. Um, so we know what your exit plan is. Um, so we know what your exit plan is. Um, so even if he has one, he's not going to be even if he has one, he's not going to be even if he has one, he's not going to be able to message it. But able to message it. But able to message it. But >> that's where I'm like, I don't know that >> that's where I'm like, I don't know that >> that's where I'm like, I don't know that there is a super easy way to get out of there is a super easy way to get out of there is a super easy way to get out of it because literally at this point, he it because literally at this point, he it because literally at this point, he can't leave if the straight of Hormuz is can't leave if the straight of Hormuz is can't leave if the straight of Hormuz is closed. He can't leave. closed. He can't leave. closed. He can't leave. You will find yourself in a position You will find yourself in a position You will find yourself in a position where every American will go, "Yeah, you where every American will go, "Yeah, you where every American will go, "Yeah, you need to go bomb them." Because if if we need to go bomb them." Because if if we need to go bomb them." Because if if we become completely isolated from the rest become completely isolated from the rest become completely isolated from the rest of the world, if our energy costs are of the world, if our energy costs are of the world, if our energy costs are going up, now that part is actually going up, now that part is actually going up, now that part is actually something worth a deep dive because something worth a deep dive because something worth a deep dive because we're an energy exporter. But there I we're an energy exporter. But there I we're an energy exporter. But there I have a feeling there's enough knock-on have a feeling there's enough knock-on have a feeling there's enough knock-on effect in all of that that we would effect in all of that that we would effect in all of that that we would still run into trouble. Um, which is why still run into trouble. Um, which is why still run into trouble. Um, which is why our energy prices fluctuate as well our energy prices fluctuate as well our energy prices fluctuate as well because theoretically if we're producing because theoretically if we're producing because theoretically if we're producing all of our oil, it wouldn't. So there all of our oil, it wouldn't. So there all of our oil, it wouldn't. So there are ways that yes, we're an energy are ways that yes, we're an energy are ways that yes, we're an energy exporter, but I'm sure as you look at exporter, but I'm sure as you look at exporter, but I'm sure as you look at it, there are going to be things where it, there are going to be things where it, there are going to be things where for simplicity sake or type of crude or for simplicity sake or type of crude or for simplicity sake or type of crude or whatever, we're bringing it in. Um, so I whatever, we're bringing it in. Um, so I whatever, we're bringing it in. Um, so I don't think that we would get out don't think that we would get out don't think that we would get out unscathed. And if other allies are unscathed. And if other allies are unscathed. And if other allies are caught up in that, they're not going to caught up in that, they're not going to caught up in that, they're not going to let us exit. So that would be yeah, let us exit. So that would be yeah, let us exit. So that would be yeah, there I don't think there is an exit there I don't think there is an exit there I don't think there is an exit strategy if the strait is still closed. strategy if the strait is still closed. strategy if the strait is still closed. There is reports now that the straight There is reports now that the straight There is reports now that the straight of Hermoose has opened up and Iran is of Hermoose has opened up and Iran is of Hermoose has opened up and Iran is charging to get ships through it. I'm charging to get ships through it. I'm charging to get ships through it. I'm trying to pull up this tweet. I don't trying to pull up this tweet. I don't trying to pull up this tweet. I don't >> What I saw was they're charging $2 >> What I saw was they're charging $2 >> What I saw was they're charging $2 million per transit which is very million per transit which is very million per transit which is very expensive and they are not letting US expensive and they are not letting US expensive and they are not letting US and Israeli um tankers go through. So if and Israeli um tankers go through. So if and Israeli um tankers go through. So if that's true from a US perspective, it's that's true from a US perspective, it's that's true from a US perspective, it's still not open. still not open. still not open. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Copy. Interesting though. And that's I >> Copy. Interesting though. And that's I >> Copy. Interesting though. And that's I mean we've talked about this before, but mean we've talked about this before, but mean we've talked about this before, but if you're Iran, that's a smart play. You if you're Iran, that's a smart play. You if you're Iran, that's a smart play. You isolate them from their allies. You get isolate them from their allies. You get isolate them from their allies. You get everybody to go, Donald, I love you, but everybody to go, Donald, I love you, but everybody to go, Donald, I love you, but uh I need my energy. I will not be able uh I need my energy.

But the world is also starting to see like wait world is also starting to see like wait world is also starting to see like wait America, America isn't the thing that America, America isn't the thing that America, America isn't the thing that it's been selling us for the last 250 it's been selling us for the last 250 it's been selling us for the last 250 years. years. years. >> I worry we're already there. >> I worry we're already there. >> I worry we're already there. >> I don't want it to be true. This is what >> I don't want it to be true. This is what >> I don't want it to be true. This is what I was trying to get at with saying being I was trying to get at with saying being I was trying to get at with saying being cynical, being nihilistic is I know cynical, being nihilistic is I know cynical, being nihilistic is I know that's not the right answer. that's not the right answer. that's not the right answer. >> But it is history tells us that what >> But it is history tells us that what >> But it is history tells us that what people need is pain and suffering and people need is pain and suffering and people need is pain and suffering and that and what I mean by that is if that and what I mean by that is if that and what I mean by that is if everything is easy then you form a everything is easy then you form a everything is easy then you form a mental model of the world. This is all mental model of the world. This is all mental model of the world. This is all easy, easy come, no problem. Um I don't easy, easy come, no problem. Um I don't easy, easy come, no problem. Um I don't have to work for this. We don't have to have to work for this. We don't have to have to work for this. We don't have to be disciplined. Nothing in life tells us be disciplined. Nothing in life tells us be disciplined. Nothing in life tells us that anything bad is going to happen by that anything bad is going to happen by that anything bad is going to happen by being undisiplined. And it takes so long being undisiplined. And it takes so long being undisiplined. And it takes so long for the problem to really manifest in a for the problem to really manifest in a for the problem to really manifest in a really real way. So take um female really real way. So take um female really real way. So take um female promiscuity. promiscuity. promiscuity. Any individual woman, I want you to Any individual woman, I want you to Any individual woman, I want you to enjoy your life as you see fit. So enjoy your life as you see fit. So enjoy your life as you see fit. So that's great. But there's a consequence that's great. But there's a consequence that's great. But there's a consequence which is that when men don't feel like which is that when men don't feel like which is that when men don't feel like they have to um rise to a certain level they have to um rise to a certain level they have to um rise to a certain level to gain sexual access, then all of that to gain sexual access, then all of that to gain sexual access, then all of that innovation engine begins to die. And innovation engine begins to die. And innovation engine begins to die. And it's one of those where then you go, it's one of those where then you go, it's one of those where then you go, okay, but what are you actually saying okay, but what are you actually saying okay, but what are you actually saying women should do? Are you saying that women should do? Are you saying that women should do? Are you saying that women have some responsibility to men to women have some responsibility to men to women have some responsibility to men to like make them earn sex when women like make them earn sex when women like make them earn sex when women should just be able to enjoy their lives should just be able to enjoy their lives should just be able to enjoy their lives sexually? And what I'm saying is if they sexually? And what I'm saying is if they sexually? And what I'm saying is if they don't, you get problems that we're don't, you get problems that we're don't, you get problems that we're seeing now where men just check out. Um seeing now where men just check out. Um seeing now where men just check out. Um they're going and dealing with it in they're going and dealing with it in they're going and dealing with it in their own way, pornography, video games, their own way, pornography, video games, their own way, pornography, video games, whatever, but they're numbing themselves whatever, but they're numbing themselves whatever, but they're numbing themselves out, checking out of that system. And so out, checking out of that system. And so out, checking out of that system. And so this isn't about moral right and wrong. this isn't about moral right and wrong. this isn't about moral right and wrong. This is about cause and effect. And when This is about cause and effect. And when This is about cause and effect. And when women don't become sexual gatekeepers women don't become sexual gatekeepers women don't become sexual gatekeepers and they don't make it hard to uh earn and they don't make it hard to uh earn and they don't make it hard to uh earn their affections and there isn't a push their affections and there isn't a push their affections and there isn't a push towards monogamy where way more men have towards monogamy where way more men have towards monogamy where way more men have access to a woman than when all women access to a woman than when all women access to a woman than when all women are essentially competing for this are essentially competing for this are essentially competing for this really really small finite group of men. really really small finite group of men. really really small finite group of men. um then it there's a knock-on effect. um then it there's a knock-on effect. um then it there's a knock-on effect. And so as a culture, if we don't promote And so as a culture, if we don't promote And so as a culture, if we don't promote certain values over others, then you're certain values over others, then you're certain values over others, then you're going to get a different world. And so going to get a different world. And so going to get a different world. And so then we it it is there's something about then we it it is there's something about then we it it is there's something about being aware of these things that is being aware of these things that is being aware of these things that is becoming deeply problematic. when it was becoming deeply problematic. when it was becoming deeply problematic. when it was hidden and very few people talked about hidden and very few people talked about hidden and very few people talked about this stuff and they could just sort of this stuff and they could just sort of this stuff and they could just sort of move society behind the scenes like move society behind the scenes like move society behind the scenes like through a religious agenda or whatever. through a religious agenda or whatever. through a religious agenda or whatever. Um, it worked because you didn't realize Um, it worked because you didn't realize Um, it worked because you didn't realize that was a game being played. But now that was a game being played. But now that was a game being played. But now the information is just so in our faces the information is just so in our faces the information is just so in our faces and people have like a natural revulsion and people have like a natural revulsion and people have like a natural revulsion to this stuff and I this comes back to to this stuff and I this comes back to to this stuff and I this comes back to you're in the age of information where you're in the age of information where you're in the age of information where there's high velocity, high volume of there's high velocity, high volume of there's high velocity, high volume of information. It's in everybody's face information. It's in everybody's face information. It's in everybody's face all the time. We're aware of all the all the time. We're aware of all the all the time. We're aware of all the underlying motives. Um, which is a big underlying motives. Um, which is a big underlying motives. Um, which is a big part of why I think you think Trump lies part of why I think you think Trump lies part of why I think you think Trump lies uniquely. I would say Trump has a uniquely. I would say Trump has a uniquely. I would say Trump has a different style of lying, but in terms different style of lying, but in terms different style of lying, but in terms of magnitude, no. He just he'll make of magnitude, no. He just he'll make of magnitude, no. He just he'll make stats up. He'll say everything is the stats up. He'll say everything is the stats up. He'll say everything is the biggest and the best and all that. And biggest and the best and all that. And biggest and the best and all that. And so, you could count those as all so, you could count those as all so, you could count those as all individual lies, but when people rack individual lies, but when people rack individual lies, but when people rack that up, like when you hear him debate that up, like when you hear him debate that up, like when you hear him debate and they go, he lied 134 times. And you and they go, he lied 134 times. And you and they go, he lied 134 times. And you realize that 130 of those were him realize that 130 of those were him realize that 130 of those were him saying, "It's the biggest ever. it's the saying, "It's the biggest ever. it's the saying, "It's the biggest ever. it's the greatest ever, whatever, which is a lie. greatest ever, whatever, which is a lie. greatest ever, whatever, which is a lie. It's not true. Um, and at the same time It's not true. Um, and at the same time It's not true. Um, and at the same time is utterly pointless. So, that's where is utterly pointless. So, that's where is utterly pointless. So, that's where I'm like, yeah, but like if you look at I'm like, yeah, but like if you look at I'm like, yeah, but like if you look at the way that politicians not only hide the way that politicians not only hide the way that politicians not only hide things, but they they will just outright things, but they they will just outright things, but they they will just outright lie, reframe, uh, position, try to move lie, reframe, uh, position, try to move lie, reframe, uh, position, try to move people. It's crazy. So, um, I don't know people. It's crazy. So, um, I don't know people. It's crazy. So, um, I don't know what happens. I don't know what the what happens. I don't know what the what happens. I don't know what the final outcome is going to be of a final outcome is going to be of a final outcome is going to be of a society that has this volume and society that has this volume and society that has this volume and velocity of information that we're velocity of information that we're velocity of information that we're completely aware of how all of these completely aware of how all of these completely aware of how all of these things work things work things work because people will start pushing back because people will start pushing back because people will start pushing back for weird ass reasons. for weird ass reasons. for weird ass reasons. We shall see. We shall see. Let's jump We shall see. We shall see. Let's jump We shall see. We shall see. Let's jump over to the airport where depending on over to the airport where depending on over to the airport where depending on what city you're in, it's either a mad what city you're in, it's either a mad what city you're in, it's either a mad house or it was not too bad. Uh I've house or it was not too bad. Uh I've house or it was not too bad. Uh I've seen conflicting reports. I know seen conflicting reports. I know seen conflicting reports. I know personal people who've been traveling in personal people who've been traveling in personal people who've been traveling in Houston. Houston was the was a [ __ ] Houston.

So, I'm trying I'm curious to see goes. So, I'm trying I'm curious to see goes. So, I'm trying I'm curious to see what everybody's experienc. If you've what everybody's experienc. If you've what everybody's experienc. If you've traveled recently, please drop it in the traveled recently, please drop it in the traveled recently, please drop it in the chat. But Trump announced that he is chat. But Trump announced that he is chat. But Trump announced that he is sending ICE agents to the um airport to sending ICE agents to the um airport to sending ICE agents to the um airport to help TSA. I'm trying to move the mouse help TSA. I'm trying to move the mouse help TSA. I'm trying to move the mouse to click the chat to move TSA. Um and to click the chat to move TSA. Um and to click the chat to move TSA. Um and they have deployed starting Monday they have deployed starting Monday they have deployed starting Monday morning. Um Atlanta is showing here. morning. Um Atlanta is showing here. morning. Um Atlanta is showing here. seems like it's helping. And Matt von seems like it's helping. And Matt von seems like it's helping. And Matt von Swall retweeted. So basically, ICE Swall retweeted. So basically, ICE Swall retweeted. So basically, ICE deploys somewhere, TSA line plummet deploys somewhere, TSA line plummet deploys somewhere, TSA line plummet earlier this year, traffic vantages. D E earlier this year, traffic vantages. D E earlier this year, traffic vantages. D E ers close out, e construction sites are ers close out, e construction sites are ers close out, e construction sites are ghost towns, f class sizes shrink, and ghost towns, f class sizes shrink, and ghost towns, f class sizes shrink, and we're supposed to believe that there are we're supposed to believe that there are we're supposed to believe that there are only 11 million illegal aliens in the only 11 million illegal aliens in the only 11 million illegal aliens in the country. Do you think that the shortened country. Do you think that the shortened country. Do you think that the shortened lines have to do with illegals not lines have to do with illegals not lines have to do with illegals not flying anymore, or is this something flying anymore, or is this something flying anymore, or is this something else entirely? I think right now we else entirely? I think right now we else entirely? I think right now we don't have enough information to know if don't have enough information to know if don't have enough information to know if what we're seeing in the airports is what we're seeing in the airports is what we're seeing in the airports is because TSA is being helped by ICE and because TSA is being helped by ICE and because TSA is being helped by ICE and ICE is super efficient or at least ICE is super efficient or at least ICE is super efficient or at least really good at getting the TSA agents really good at getting the TSA agents really good at getting the TSA agents focused on only the things that they're focused on only the things that they're focused on only the things that they're trained to do and then ICE is just trained to do and then ICE is just trained to do and then ICE is just taking care of everything else and so taking care of everything else and so taking care of everything else and so now we're moving people through the now we're moving people through the now we're moving people through the system or if ISIS's mere presence means system or if ISIS's mere presence means system or if ISIS's mere presence means that illegal aliens are like up can't that illegal aliens are like up can't that illegal aliens are like up can't travel now and what we're really seeing travel now and what we're really seeing travel now and what we're really seeing is that we have a much larger illegal is that we have a much larger illegal is that we have a much larger illegal population than we thought we did. It's population than we thought we did. It's population than we thought we did. It's also possible that it's a combination of also possible that it's a combination of also possible that it's a combination of both. I think it's going to be very hard both. I think it's going to be very hard both. I think it's going to be very hard for us to begin teasing these things for us to begin teasing these things for us to begin teasing these things apart. This is going to be one of the apart. This is going to be one of the apart. This is going to be one of the biggest things that we have to face biggest things that we have to face biggest things that we have to face moving forward as a nation. Right now, moving forward as a nation. Right now, moving forward as a nation. Right now, we're so pulled, our attention is pulled we're so pulled, our attention is pulled we're so pulled, our attention is pulled overseas, what's happening in the Middle overseas, what's happening in the Middle overseas, what's happening in the Middle East or what was happening in Venezuela East or what was happening in Venezuela East or what was happening in Venezuela or Cuba that we're forgetting that one or Cuba that we're forgetting that one or Cuba that we're forgetting that one of the biggest battles is going to be a of the biggest battles is going to be a of the biggest battles is going to be a cultural fight over how we're going to cultural fight over how we're going to cultural fight over how we're going to handle immigration. And that I think handle immigration. And that I think handle immigration. And that I think comes down to how we think about our comes down to how we think about our comes down to how we think about our political power structure because right political power structure because right political power structure because right now illegal aliens absolutely serves now illegal aliens absolutely serves now illegal aliens absolutely serves whatever party is going to give more whatever party is going to give more whatever party is going to give more things away for free. Right now that is things away for free. Right now that is things away for free. Right now that is the Democratic party. So the Democrat the Democratic party. So the Democrat the Democratic party. So the Democrat party right now is wildly advantaged by party right now is wildly advantaged by party right now is wildly advantaged by having illegal aliens. And if people can having illegal aliens. And if people can having illegal aliens. And if people can abstract it away from that for a second abstract it away from that for a second abstract it away from that for a second and just understand there is a power and just understand there is a power and just understand there is a power move to play where either side can move to play where either side can move to play where either side can decide we're going to give a bunch of decide we're going to give a bunch of decide we're going to give a bunch of social benefits. And if you have an open social benefits. And if you have an open social benefits. And if you have an open border and social benefits, you are border and social benefits, you are border and social benefits, you are going to attract people and they are going to attract people and they are going to attract people and they are going to vote for whoever's going to going to vote for whoever's going to going to vote for whoever's going to continue to give them social benefits. continue to give them social benefits. continue to give them social benefits. And by the way, you're attracting a very And by the way, you're attracting a very And by the way, you're attracting a very different type of person than you would different type of person than you would different type of person than you would otherwise attract. I've covered this otherwise attract. I've covered this otherwise attract. I've covered this stat before, but when you bring in stat before, but when you bring in stat before, but when you bring in illegal aliens, it's actually good for illegal aliens, it's actually good for illegal aliens, it's actually good for the economy for a very brief period of the economy for a very brief period of the economy for a very brief period of time and then over time, the people that time and then over time, the people that time and then over time, the people that come in start drawing off of the social come in start drawing off of the social come in start drawing off of the social systems far more than they contribute. systems far more than they contribute. systems far more than they contribute. So people will often point to, but look, So people will often point to, but look, So people will often point to, but look, when you bring in aliens, like you get when you bring in aliens, like you get when you bring in aliens, like you get this spike in the economy, everything's this spike in the economy, everything's this spike in the economy, everything's great. They pay into these systems, they great. They pay into these systems, they great. They pay into these systems, they don't pull out. And then over time, you don't pull out. And then over time, you don't pull out. And then over time, you realize it's the exact opposite and it realize it's the exact opposite and it realize it's the exact opposite and it becomes a massive drain. So you've got becomes a massive drain. So you've got becomes a massive drain. So you've got that, you've got voter integrity, you've that, you've got voter integrity, you've that, you've got voter integrity, you've got just the sheer volume of illegals got just the sheer volume of illegals got just the sheer volume of illegals that are going to influence a whole lot that are going to influence a whole lot that are going to influence a whole lot of different things in the economy, not of different things in the economy, not of different things in the economy, not only tax rates, but uh there are bodies only tax rates, but uh there are bodies only tax rates, but uh there are bodies in the census which then impact the in the census which then impact the in the census which then impact the number of seats in Congress. Plus, we're number of seats in Congress. Plus, we're number of seats in Congress. Plus, we're going to have to contend with just from going to have to contend with just from going to have to contend with just from a pure uh pure values play. What a pure uh pure values play. What a pure uh pure values play. What countries are we going to let people countries are we going to let people countries are we going to let people come in from? you're going to have to come in from? you're going to have to come in from? you're going to have to contend with Muslim immigration. Uh, contend with Muslim immigration. Uh, contend with Muslim immigration. Uh, which I will say, of course, it's never which I will say, of course, it's never which I will say, of course, it's never all, but they're running the, uh, Jewish all, but they're running the, uh, Jewish all, but they're running the, uh, Jewish strategy that was run in Israel. People strategy that was run in Israel. People strategy that was run in Israel. People get all up in arms about that. But are get all up in arms about that. But are get all up in arms about that. But are they up in arms about it happening in they up in arms about it happening in they up in arms about it happening in Europe, potentially beginning to happen Europe, potentially beginning to happen Europe, potentially beginning to happen in America? Same strategy, man. Just two in America? Same strategy, man. Just two in America? Same strategy, man. Just two different groups of people. And so, we different groups of people. And so, we different groups of people. And so, we are going to have to confront all of are going to have to confront all of are going to have to confront all of that stuff. And so we're getting this that stuff. And so we're getting this that stuff. And so we're getting this really weird teaser of it right now, but really weird teaser of it right now, but really weird teaser of it right now, but we don't have enough information with we don't have enough information with we don't have enough information with ICE going into the airports to know ICE going into the airports to know ICE going into the airports to know exactly what's happening. But this is exactly what's happening. But this is exactly what's happening. But this is that little bit of the iceberg that's that little bit of the iceberg that's that little bit of the iceberg that's poking its head up above the waterline poking its head up above the waterline poking its head up above the waterline that America is going to have to contend that America is going to have to contend that America is going to have to contend with. Full stop. This is going to be a with. Full stop. This is going to be a with. Full stop. This is going to be a massive issue. massive issue. massive issue. I have to shout out Delta because this, I have to shout out Delta because this, I have to shout out Delta because this, I think, is the biggest move out of all I think, is the biggest move out of all I think, is the biggest move out of all this airport nonsense that we've been this airport nonsense that we've been this airport nonsense that we've been talking about for the last week. Delta talking about for the last week. Delta talking about for the last week. Delta is suspending its special service desk is suspending its special service desk is suspending its special service desk for members of Congress until TSA is for members of Congress until TSA is for members of Congress until TSA is fully funded. Delta says members of fully funded. Delta says members of fully funded. Delta says members of Congress will now be treated like all Congress will now be treated like all Congress will now be treated like all other flying customers.

Um, Marushia Dark Let's jump into it. Um, Marushia Dark Let's jump into it. Um, Marushia Dark 316 says, "Thoughts on the massive 316 says, "Thoughts on the massive 316 says, "Thoughts on the massive backlash against Nvidia's DLSS5 backlash against Nvidia's DLSS5 backlash against Nvidia's DLSS5 overriding art direction and lighting overriding art direction and lighting overriding art direction and lighting seems to ruin any game that isn't going seems to ruin any game that isn't going seems to ruin any game that isn't going for hyper realism.

The fundamental nature of this is offloading some of the graphical this is offloading some of the graphical this is offloading some of the graphical processing requirements either for the processing requirements either for the processing requirements either for the development team that's trying to get in development team that's trying to get in development team that's trying to get in this case realism or just asking the this case realism or just asking the this case realism or just asking the hardware to do something. And so you've hardware to do something. And so you've hardware to do something. And so you've got AI stepping in to try to make this got AI stepping in to try to make this got AI stepping in to try to make this process better. I think that it is right process better. I think that it is right process better. I think that it is right now it's awkward. It's not giving people now it's awkward. It's not giving people now it's awkward. It's not giving people the results that they want. And so the results that they want. And so the results that they want.

The reality is that absolutely garbage. The reality is that absolutely garbage. The reality is that giving developers and as a small giving developers and as a small giving developers and as a small developer myself, I look at this and go developer myself, I look at this and go developer myself, I look at this and go it's not useful for me right now because it's not useful for me right now because it's not useful for me right now because I'm not trying to build something that's I'm not trying to build something that's I'm not trying to build something that's photorealistic.

It's going to be want to look. It's going to be want to look. It's going to be incredible. I will invite all the gamers incredible. I will invite all the gamers incredible. I will invite all the gamers out there, go do research on why games, out there, go do research on why games, out there, go do research on why games, if you look at a game from the 80s now, if you look at a game from the 80s now, if you look at a game from the 80s now, you're going to look at and be like, you're going to look at and be like, you're going to look at and be like, "Oh, this is kind of lame." But then if "Oh, this is kind of lame." But then if "Oh, this is kind of lame." But then if you watch it on a CRT monitor, all of a you watch it on a CRT monitor, all of a you watch it on a CRT monitor, all of a sudden it's like, "Oh my god, this looks sudden it's like, "Oh my god, this looks sudden it's like, "Oh my god, this looks amazing." Because the people that were amazing." Because the people that were amazing." Because the people that were doing the design of the pixel art back doing the design of the pixel art back doing the design of the pixel art back then understood how it looked through then understood how it looked through then understood how it looked through one of those TVs. And so they start one of those TVs. And so they start one of those TVs. And so they start designing knowing that they're going to designing knowing that they're going to designing knowing that they're going to be interfacing with this certain be interfacing with this certain be interfacing with this certain technology back then. And so they design technology back then. And so they design technology back then. And so they design in a way where it looks incredible. As in a way where it looks incredible. As in a way where it looks incredible. As designers are using this tool, they'll designers are using this tool, they'll designers are using this tool, they'll start going, "Okay, I know what my face start going, "Okay, I know what my face start going, "Okay, I know what my face is going to look like when it passes is going to look like when it passes is going to look like when it passes through this technology." Now we're through this technology." Now we're through this technology." Now we're offloading some of the technological offloading some of the technological offloading some of the technological burden. Yay. This is amazing. So I think burden. Yay. This is amazing. So I think burden. Yay. This is amazing. So I think the more tools that creatives get, the the more tools that creatives get, the the more tools that creatives get, the better things are going to be. And right better things are going to be. And right better things are going to be. And right now you're not watching people interface now you're not watching people interface now you're not watching people interface with the actual technology. If you want with the actual technology. If you want with the actual technology. If you want to say, "Hey, leave my favorite game to say, "Hey, leave my favorite game to say, "Hey, leave my favorite game alone until this gets better." I love alone until this gets better." I love alone until this gets better." I love that. That's great. That's amazing. And that. That's great. That's amazing. And that. That's great. That's amazing. And I get all the people like that are I get all the people like that are I get all the people like that are Resident Evil fans that are like, "You Resident Evil fans that are like, "You Resident Evil fans that are like, "You just made Leon Kennedy ugly and we're just made Leon Kennedy ugly and we're just made Leon Kennedy ugly and we're not here for that." There's a whole not here for that." There's a whole not here for that." There's a whole hilarious thing in the gaming community hilarious thing in the gaming community hilarious thing in the gaming community about Leon Kennedy. Uh, so cool. Yep. No about Leon Kennedy. Uh, so cool. Yep. No about Leon Kennedy. Uh, so cool. Yep. No problem. But look at this stuff and problem. But look at this stuff and problem. But look at this stuff and evaluate it as a technology that will evaluate it as a technology that will evaluate it as a technology that will grow and develop over time and ask a grow and develop over time and ask a grow and develop over time and ask a very simple question. How does this very simple question. How does this very simple question. How does this empower creators? empower creators? empower creators?

So yeah, this is if you think of it like a sport, is if you think of it like a sport, is if you think of it like a sport, you're going to be going in the right you're going to be going in the right you're going to be going in the right direction. So if you want to get great direction. So if you want to get great direction. So if you want to get great at anything, you need to have a practice at anything, you need to have a practice at anything, you need to have a practice regime in place that is based not on the regime in place that is based not on the regime in place that is based not on the things you're already good at, but the things you're already good at, but the things you're already good at, but the things you need to get better at and things you need to get better at and things you need to get better at and then practice those things. There's then practice those things. There's then practice those things. There's plenty of videos out there about people plenty of videos out there about people plenty of videos out there about people that actually train to get better at that actually train to get better at that actually train to get better at gaming. It It's crazy. They are just gaming. It It's crazy. They are just gaming. It It's crazy. They are just like athletes. They run drills. They like athletes. They run drills. They like athletes. They run drills. They practice different things. They make practice different things. They make practice different things. They make sure that they're paying attention to sure that they're paying attention to sure that they're paying attention to their sleep, they're paying attention to their sleep, they're paying attention to their sleep, they're paying attention to their diet, literally. Uh at one point their diet, literally. Uh at one point their diet, literally. Uh at one point when I was at Quest, we were looking at when I was at Quest, we were looking at when I was at Quest, we were looking at potentially acquiring uh Team Liquid. potentially acquiring uh Team Liquid. potentially acquiring uh Team Liquid. Thank god we didn't. The esports thing Thank god we didn't. The esports thing Thank god we didn't. The esports thing just never quite panned out. But um that just never quite panned out. But um that just never quite panned out. But um that is we we got pretty close to some of the is we we got pretty close to some of the is we we got pretty close to some of the ways that they were working and yeah, ways that they were working and yeah, ways that they were working and yeah, they're very very serious. They treat they're very very serious. They treat they're very very serious. They treat themselves like athletes. So figure out themselves like athletes. So figure out themselves like athletes. So figure out what are the parts of the game that what are the parts of the game that what are the parts of the game that you're weak at that you have to practice you're weak at that you have to practice you're weak at that you have to practice and get better. And then also just like and get better. And then also just like and get better. And then also just like anything, there going to be certain anything, there going to be certain anything, there going to be certain types of games that are all Twitchbased, types of games that are all Twitchbased, types of games that are all Twitchbased, like fast Twitch, reaction time based. like fast Twitch, reaction time based. like fast Twitch, reaction time based. And so, um, part of the problem with And so, um, part of the problem with And so, um, part of the problem with esports is that people age out by 24. esports is that people age out by 24. esports is that people age out by 24. So, reaction time is measured in So, reaction time is measured in So, reaction time is measured in milliseconds in gaming. And so, you milliseconds in gaming. And so, you milliseconds in gaming. And so, you really partly just have to already be really partly just have to already be really partly just have to already be wired that way and then be uh, young. wired that way and then be uh, young. wired that way and then be uh, young. So, depending on where you fall in uh, So, depending on where you fall in uh, So, depending on where you fall in uh, your aging, you may have to aim yourself your aging, you may have to aim yourself your aging, you may have to aim yourself at different games. So, a strategy game at different games. So, a strategy game at different games. So, a strategy game maybe more something that you could maybe more something that you could maybe more something that you could become one of the greatest in the world become one of the greatest in the world become one of the greatest in the world at. But like anything, practice, perfect at. But like anything, practice, perfect at. But like anything, practice, perfect practice makes perfect. So, identify practice makes perfect. So, identify practice makes perfect. So, identify what you're weak at and get better. what you're weak at and get better. what you're weak at and get better. >> That's like a really good point.

The IMF was even issuing economy works. The IMF was even issuing economy works. The IMF was even issuing warnings. Critics call it economic warnings. Critics call it economic warnings. Critics call it economic suicide. I I would like to line up each suicide. I I would like to line up each suicide. I I would like to line up each one of those critics.

Now, there was initial pain when Javier Now, there was initial pain when Javier Now, there was initial pain when Javier Malain came to office. At first, poverty Malain came to office. At first, poverty Malain came to office. At first, poverty actually went up and you have to be actually went up and you have to be actually went up and you have to be honest about that. Prices surged, honest about that. Prices surged, honest about that. Prices surged, welfare payments dried up. People were welfare payments dried up. People were welfare payments dried up. People were super nervous that they had just elected super nervous that they had just elected super nervous that they had just elected a madman that was going to drive them in a madman that was going to drive them in a madman that was going to drive them in the wrong direction. But then, and this the wrong direction. But then, and this the wrong direction. But then, and this is the part people do not enjoy the is the part people do not enjoy the is the part people do not enjoy the reality of this one, people adapted. I reality of this one, people adapted. I reality of this one, people adapted. I remember Malay said some absolutely remember Malay said some absolutely remember Malay said some absolutely unhinged [ __ ] It happened to be true, unhinged [ __ ] It happened to be true, unhinged [ __ ] It happened to be true, which is, "I'm tired of hearing, this is which is, "I'm tired of hearing, this is which is, "I'm tired of hearing, this is a paraphrase, but I'm tired of hearing a paraphrase, but I'm tired of hearing a paraphrase, but I'm tired of hearing that people are going to die if I that people are going to die if I that people are going to die if I institute these policies. Somehow, some institute these policies. Somehow, some institute these policies. Somehow, some way, people always find a way not to way, people always find a way not to way, people always find a way not to die." Now, that sounds super heartless, die." Now, that sounds super heartless, die." Now, that sounds super heartless, but it's actually true. People always but it's actually true. People always but it's actually true. People always adapt. And as they adapted and realized adapt. And as they adapted and realized adapt. And as they adapted and realized they weren't going to be able to suck on they weren't going to be able to suck on they weren't going to be able to suck on the government teat anymore, inflation the government teat anymore, inflation the government teat anymore, inflation collapsed from triple digits to collapsed from triple digits to collapsed from triple digits to somewhere in the 30 to 70% annualized. somewhere in the 30 to 70% annualized. somewhere in the 30 to 70% annualized. Now that is still horrific, but it is Now that is still horrific, but it is Now that is still horrific, but it is much much better. much much better. much much better. Now this is the big one. Argentina's GDP Now this is the big one. Argentina's GDP Now this is the big one. Argentina's GDP grew by a staggering 4.4% in 2025. grew by a staggering 4.4% in 2025. grew by a staggering 4.4% in 2025. That is a massive rebound. they they had That is a massive rebound. they they had That is a massive rebound. they they had been contracting for years. So negative been contracting for years. So negative been contracting for years. So negative growth and to swing all the way to growth and to swing all the way to growth and to swing all the way to positive 4.4%. 4.4. We would love to positive 4.4%. 4.4. We would love to positive 4.4%. 4.4. We would love to have 4.4 growth here in America. have 4.4 growth here in America. have 4.4 growth here in America. As a result, the um as the growth rate As a result, the um as the growth rate As a result, the um as the growth rate kicked up, the poverty rate began to kicked up, the poverty rate began to kicked up, the poverty rate began to plummet. It dropped from 53% all the way plummet. It dropped from 53% all the way plummet. It dropped from 53% all the way down to what we were talking about down to what we were talking about down to what we were talking about before, 31.6%. before, 31.6%. before, 31.6%. Well below where it had been before Well below where it had been before Well below where it had been before Malay was elected. This is a direct Malay was elected. This is a direct Malay was elected. This is a direct comparison to New York. So he started comparison to New York. So he started comparison to New York. So he started deregulating rent policies. Okay? deregulating rent policies. Okay? deregulating rent policies. Okay? Deregulating rent policies. So Manny Deregulating rent policies. So Manny Deregulating rent policies. So Manny wants to freeze rent. He wants to wants to freeze rent. He wants to wants to freeze rent. He wants to regulate rent because he wants to bring regulate rent because he wants to bring regulate rent because he wants to bring prices down, which is ludicrous. It will prices down, which is ludicrous. It will prices down, which is ludicrous. It will have the exact opposite effect. That is have the exact opposite effect. That is have the exact opposite effect. That is obvious. It is knowable. So either Mom obvious. It is knowable. So either Mom obvious. It is knowable. So either Mom Donnie is a [ __ ] completely ignorant Donnie is a [ __ ] completely ignorant Donnie is a [ __ ] completely ignorant to how economics works, or he's got a to how economics works, or he's got a to how economics works, or he's got a different agenda, which I will say I different agenda, which I will say I different agenda, which I will say I think he has a different agenda. I think think he has a different agenda. I think think he has a different agenda. I think this is about plundering taxpayers. I this is about plundering taxpayers. I this is about plundering taxpayers. I don't think it has anything to do with don't think it has anything to do with don't think it has anything to do with actually thinking this is going to work. actually thinking this is going to work. actually thinking this is going to work. So, Malay deregulates policies uh in So, Malay deregulates policies uh in So, Malay deregulates policies uh in rental policies. The results are rental policies. The results are rental policies. The results are insanely staggering. Landlords had been insanely staggering. Landlords had been insanely staggering. Landlords had been pulling their properties properties off pulling their properties properties off pulling their properties properties off the market for years because rents were the market for years because rents were the market for years because rents were so low, kept artificially low by the so low, kept artificially low by the so low, kept artificially low by the way, they couldn't afford to have way, they couldn't afford to have way, they couldn't afford to have tenants in them. Tenants are an expense tenants in them. Tenants are an expense tenants in them. Tenants are an expense line and it had gotten to the point line and it had gotten to the point line and it had gotten to the point where it was better to let that sit where it was better to let that sit where it was better to let that sit vacant even though they were losing vacant even though they were losing vacant even though they were losing money because they would lose less money money because they would lose less money money because they would lose less money than having renters in them. So now than having renters in them. So now than having renters in them. So now people come flooding black back into the people come flooding black back into the people come flooding black back into the market. Rental listings in Buenus areas market. Rental listings in Buenus areas market. Rental listings in Buenus areas surged by more than 170%. Okay, you surged by more than 170%. Okay, you surged by more than 170%. Okay, you can't build buildings that fast. So this can't build buildings that fast. So this can't build buildings that fast. So this was people just saying, "Nope, I'm not was people just saying, "Nope, I'm not was people just saying, "Nope, I'm not renting this." And then going, "Cool, renting this." And then going, "Cool, renting this." And then going, "Cool, now that I can actually charge what this now that I can actually charge what this now that I can actually charge what this is worth, I'm going to rent it." Even is worth, I'm going to rent it." Even is worth, I'm going to rent it." Even though prices went up because there was though prices went up because there was though prices went up because there was so much more on the market at an so much more on the market at an so much more on the market at an inflationadjusted rate, rents fell by up inflationadjusted rate, rents fell by up inflationadjusted rate, rents fell by up to 40%. to 40%. to 40%. Now, anybody paying attention to Now, anybody paying attention to Now, anybody paying attention to economics, that's exactly what they economics, that's exactly what they economics, that's exactly what they would expect. With less regulation, would expect. With less regulation, would expect. With less regulation, you get more supply and therefore lower you get more supply and therefore lower you get more supply and therefore lower prices. That is what economics predicts. prices. That is what economics predicts. prices. That is what economics predicts. And now obviously we're seeing reality And now obviously we're seeing reality And now obviously we're seeing reality backs it up. But nonetheless, that is backs it up. But nonetheless, that is backs it up. But nonetheless, that is not going to stop people in Cuba, people not going to stop people in Cuba, people not going to stop people in Cuba, people in New York from running the exact in New York from running the exact in New York from running the exact opposite strategy. It's maddening. Now, opposite strategy. It's maddening. Now, opposite strategy. It's maddening. Now, there was a lot of hand ringing when the there was a lot of hand ringing when the there was a lot of hand ringing when the US provided a $20 billion currency swap US provided a $20 billion currency swap US provided a $20 billion currency swap line in October of 25 obviously to help line in October of 25 obviously to help line in October of 25 obviously to help stabilize the peso, but Treasury stabilize the peso, but Treasury stabilize the peso, but Treasury Secretary Scott Besson said, "Listen, Secretary Scott Besson said, "Listen, Secretary Scott Besson said, "Listen, this is not we're not giving them money. this is not we're not giving them money. this is not we're not giving them money. This is a loan and this could be This is a loan and this could be This is a loan and this could be actually a profit center for the US." actually a profit center for the US." actually a profit center for the US." and it actually ended up being a profit and it actually ended up being a profit and it actually ended up being a profit center. The US made money by loaning center. The US made money by loaning center. The US made money by loaning them money. So, they had made uh 20 them money. So, they had made uh 20 them money. So, they had made uh 20 billion available, but Argentina only billion available, but Argentina only billion available, but Argentina only ended up drawing 2.5 billion of the ended up drawing 2.5 billion of the ended up drawing 2.5 billion of the available credit, meaning they didn't available credit, meaning they didn't available credit, meaning they didn't really have that big of a problem. They really have that big of a problem. They really have that big of a problem. They just needed a little bit of assistance. just needed a little bit of assistance. just needed a little bit of assistance. They repaid the loan ahead of schedule They repaid the loan ahead of schedule They repaid the loan ahead of schedule and with interest. So, it wasn't and with interest. So, it wasn't and with interest. So, it wasn't charity, not a bailout. It was charity, not a bailout. It was charity, not a bailout. It was temporary, was profitable, and it was temporary, was profitable, and it was temporary, was profitable, and it was designed to stabilize designed to stabilize designed to stabilize uh the peso for an ally who was in the uh the peso for an ally who was in the uh the peso for an ally who was in the middle of having to make a bunch of hard middle of having to make a bunch of hard middle of having to make a bunch of hard choices to reignite their economy. And choices to reignite their economy. And choices to reignite their economy. And so when you think about trying to help so when you think about trying to help so when you think about trying to help our allies plug back in to the global our allies plug back in to the global our allies plug back in to the global economy after roughly a hundred years of economy after roughly a hundred years of economy after roughly a hundred years of just absolutely moronic, just absolutely moronic, just absolutely moronic, self-destructive socialist policies self-destructive socialist policies self-destructive socialist policies ended up being a pretty great thing. You ended up being a pretty great thing. You ended up being a pretty great thing. You took somebody that had been disconnected took somebody that had been disconnected took somebody that had been disconnected from the global economy that was from the global economy that was from the global economy that was absolutely povertystricken, a nation absolutely povertystricken, a nation absolutely povertystricken, a nation that was full of promise maybe, but they that was full of promise maybe, but they that was full of promise maybe, but they had been completely hampered by a had been completely hampered by a had been completely hampered by a dysfunctional economy. And you help them dysfunctional economy. And you help them dysfunctional economy. And you help them get back on their feet. Now, by way of get back on their feet. Now, by way of get back on their feet. Now, by way of keeping myself sober and being keeping myself sober and being keeping myself sober and being completely honest about where we are, completely honest about where we are, completely honest about where we are, Argentina is not out of the woods yet. Argentina is not out of the woods yet. Argentina is not out of the woods yet. This is a very difficult transition that This is a very difficult transition that This is a very difficult transition that requires you to get people on board requires you to get people on board requires you to get people on board inside of your own country to deal with inside of your own country to deal with inside of your own country to deal with some of the pain that has come along some of the pain that has come along some of the pain that has come along with this to believe in this long term with this to believe in this long term with this to believe in this long term that you're actually going to find your that you're actually going to find your that you're actually going to find your way out of it. It would not take much way out of it. It would not take much way out of it. It would not take much for them to go spiraling back into for them to go spiraling back into for them to go spiraling back into economic lunacy because I bet there are economic lunacy because I bet there are economic lunacy because I bet there are still people in the system that are mad still people in the system that are mad still people in the system that are mad that they're not getting free handouts that they're not getting free handouts that they're not getting free handouts anymore. So, we need to accept that this anymore. So, we need to accept that this anymore. So, we need to accept that this is fragile, that it could break, that it is fragile, that it could break, that it is fragile, that it could break, that it could go the wrong way. Also, Malay could go the wrong way. Also, Malay could go the wrong way. Also, Malay could start doing dumb [ __ ] and just could start doing dumb [ __ ] and just could start doing dumb [ __ ] and just making mistakes. This is very making mistakes. This is very making mistakes. This is very complicated. But the progress so far has complicated. But the progress so far has complicated. But the progress so far has been absolutely incredible.

And anybody that's not willing to acknowledge that that's not willing to acknowledge that that's not willing to acknowledge that has a political agenda, not an actual has a political agenda, not an actual has a political agenda, not an actual economic agenda. So, as a world once economic agenda. So, as a world once economic agenda. So, as a world once again seems locked into this weird again seems locked into this weird again seems locked into this weird tractor beam of debating whether tractor beam of debating whether tractor beam of debating whether socialism actually works or not, let's socialism actually works or not, let's socialism actually works or not, let's hope that people will see what's going hope that people will see what's going hope that people will see what's going on in Argentina, see what best practices on in Argentina, see what best practices on in Argentina, see what best practices look like, see that the policies that look like, see that the policies that look like, see that the policies that they're running yield the best results they're running yield the best results they're running yield the best results because right now, as I was saying at because right now, as I was saying at because right now, as I was saying at the top, we are dealing with this here the top, we are dealing with this here the top, we are dealing with this here in New York City. And I very much think in New York City. And I very much think in New York City. And I very much think that Mani and the things that he stands that Mani and the things that he stands that Mani and the things that he stands for are the heart of the current for are the heart of the current for are the heart of the current Democratic party.

It ties directly into voter integrity. It ties directly into open borders and how ties directly into open borders and how ties directly into open borders and how many people we've let into the country. many people we've let into the country. many people we've let into the country. So we've got to be very very thoughtful So we've got to be very very thoughtful So we've got to be very very thoughtful about what yields long-term prosperity about what yields long-term prosperity about what yields long-term prosperity for as many people as possible because for as many people as possible because for as many people as possible because you've got the right trying to hollow you've got the right trying to hollow you've got the right trying to hollow out the middle class. That's a little out the middle class. That's a little out the middle class. That's a little unfair. But the psychopaths on the right unfair. But the psychopaths on the right unfair.

And we need to find all the reasonable people and march find all the reasonable people and march find all the reasonable people and march them towards the middle to make sure them towards the middle to make sure them towards the middle to make sure that we have a thriving middle class. If that we have a thriving middle class. If that we have a thriving middle class.

So, what do you think is differentiating America? and think is differentiating America? and think is differentiating America? and then we can go into how that ties into then we can go into how that ties into then we can go into how that ties into then the socialism then the socialism then the socialism >> as so people don't understand what a >> as so people don't understand what a >> as so people don't understand what a reserve currency is the second you reserve currency is the second you reserve currency is the second you understand what how a reserve currency understand what how a reserve currency understand what how a reserve currency actually functions in the market I have actually functions in the market I have actually functions in the market I have a deep dive that touches on this uh a deep dive that touches on this uh a deep dive that touches on this uh coming up next week and you'll coming up next week and you'll coming up next week and you'll understand that the US is never going to understand that the US is never going to understand that the US is never going to default on its debts unless it chooses default on its debts unless it chooses default on its debts unless it chooses to do so uh because we can always print to do so uh because we can always print to do so uh because we can always print money so the real thing that people have money so the real thing that people have money so the real thing that people have to worry about in the US is to worry about in the US is to worry about in the US is hyperinflation so I don't think you guys hyperinflation so I don't think you guys hyperinflation so I don't think you guys ever have to worry about the US ever have to worry about the US ever have to worry about the US defaulting so Anybody that says the uh defaulting so Anybody that says the uh defaulting so Anybody that says the uh US is insolvent is trying to make a US is insolvent is trying to make a US is insolvent is trying to make a political point because it sounds scary. political point because it sounds scary. political point because it sounds scary. Um but the reality is the thing you need Um but the reality is the thing you need Um but the reality is the thing you need to be afraid of is that they will print to be afraid of is that they will print to be afraid of is that they will print more and more money to avoid defaulting more and more money to avoid defaulting more and more money to avoid defaulting to make sure that they're not insolvent to make sure that they're not insolvent to make sure that they're not insolvent so that they can rob from everybody by so that they can rob from everybody by so that they can rob from everybody by stealing their purchasing power. And stealing their purchasing power. And stealing their purchasing power. And that's not just Americans, that's that's not just Americans, that's that's not just Americans, that's everybody. So there's something called everybody. So there's something called everybody. So there's something called the Euro dollar system. It's the world's the Euro dollar system. It's the world's the Euro dollar system. It's the world's worst name. This is so stupid. But the worst name. This is so stupid. But the worst name. This is so stupid. But the Euro dollar, by the way, is not a Euro dollar, by the way, is not a Euro dollar, by the way, is not a different currency and it has nothing to different currency and it has nothing to different currency and it has nothing to do with Europe. It is about dollars that do with Europe. It is about dollars that do with Europe. It is about dollars that can be printed out of thin air by can be printed out of thin air by can be printed out of thin air by countries other than America, which is countries other than America, which is countries other than America, which is wild. And I don't think people realize wild. And I don't think people realize wild. And I don't think people realize that there is an absolutely gigantic that there is an absolutely gigantic that there is an absolutely gigantic amount of money out in the world that's amount of money out in the world that's amount of money out in the world that's created and destroyed through credit created and destroyed through credit created and destroyed through credit every day. And so this is the thing that every day. And so this is the thing that every day. And so this is the thing that made 2008 so scary was the Euro dollar made 2008 so scary was the Euro dollar made 2008 so scary was the Euro dollar system froze. And that was when it was system froze. And that was when it was system froze. And that was when it was like uhoh. This is like all of global like uhoh. This is like all of global like uhoh. This is like all of global trade. The way that we facilitate trade. The way that we facilitate trade. The way that we facilitate everything is by putting the dollar in everything is by putting the dollar in everything is by putting the dollar in between any currency that wants to swap between any currency that wants to swap between any currency that wants to swap with each other. So if you're with each other. So if you're with each other. So if you're Switzerland and you want to do business Switzerland and you want to do business Switzerland and you want to do business with Japan, u you're going to put the with Japan, u you're going to put the with Japan, u you're going to put the dollar in between your two currencies. dollar in between your two currencies. dollar in between your two currencies. And so that system requires debt to be And so that system requires debt to be And so that system requires debt to be loaned out. sometimes just overnight, loaned out. sometimes just overnight, loaned out. sometimes just overnight, sometimes 30, 60, 90 days, but basically sometimes 30, 60, 90 days, but basically sometimes 30, 60, 90 days, but basically never more than that. And so all of never more than that. And so all of never more than that. And so all of these trillions of dollars are coming these trillions of dollars are coming these trillions of dollars are coming into and out of existence uh very into and out of existence uh very into and out of existence uh very rapidly. And it's outside of the control rapidly. And it's outside of the control rapidly. And it's outside of the control of the Fed, but because it's through of the Fed, but because it's through of the Fed, but because it's through debt, everybody's able to do this. Um, debt, everybody's able to do this. Um, debt, everybody's able to do this. Um, and it is crazy, but that's the system and it is crazy, but that's the system and it is crazy, but that's the system that you're able to extend your reach that you're able to extend your reach that you're able to extend your reach to. everybody using the Euro dollar to. everybody using the Euro dollar to. everybody using the Euro dollar system, everybody storing their money in system, everybody storing their money in system, everybody storing their money in dollars or saving their money in dollars or saving their money in dollars or saving their money in dollars, um so central banks holding dollars, um so central banks holding dollars, um so central banks holding dollars, etc., etc., you're able to um dollars, etc., etc., you're able to um dollars, etc., etc., you're able to um inflate the money supply, steal the inflate the money supply, steal the inflate the money supply, steal the purchasing power of all those people. purchasing power of all those people. purchasing power of all those people. But the dollar extends a lot farther But the dollar extends a lot farther But the dollar extends a lot farther than anybody realizes. And this is why than anybody realizes. And this is why than anybody realizes. And this is why when people talk about like what's the when people talk about like what's the when people talk about like what's the reserve currency, it's that it's that reserve currency, it's that it's that reserve currency, it's that it's that thing that facilitates the trade across thing that facilitates the trade across thing that facilitates the trade across all borders. Um so it is it really is an all borders. Um so it is it really is an all borders. Um so it is it really is an exorbitant privilege. So people need to exorbitant privilege. So people need to exorbitant privilege. So people need to be terrified of how the US is be terrified of how the US is be terrified of how the US is economically. But when somebody says economically. But when somebody says economically. But when somebody says that we're insolvent, and I might say it that we're insolvent, and I might say it that we're insolvent, and I might say it from time to time because I'm trying to from time to time because I'm trying to from time to time because I'm trying to get somebody's attention. But the real get somebody's attention. But the real get somebody's attention. But the real thing that you want to focus on is that thing that you want to focus on is that thing that you want to focus on is that they will just inflate, inflate, inflate they will just inflate, inflate, inflate they will just inflate, inflate, inflate the currency until somebody says, "Yeah, the currency until somebody says, "Yeah, the currency until somebody says, "Yeah, we're not going to be in this system we're not going to be in this system we're not going to be in this system anymore." Which obviously they're anymore." Which obviously they're anymore." Which obviously they're already trying to do. It's a huge part already trying to do. It's a huge part already trying to do. It's a huge part of what's going on in Iran. Um because of what's going on in Iran. Um because of what's going on in Iran. Um because if they do that, then we would default. if they do that, then we would default. if they do that, then we would default. then we would be insolvent because you then we would be insolvent because you then we would be insolvent because you don't have the ability to just print don't have the ability to just print don't have the ability to just print your way out of this. Um so yeah, your way out of this. Um so yeah, your way out of this. Um so yeah, >> there are some >> there are some >> there are some >> so dire man. >> so dire man. >> so dire man. >> There's politicians like Ran Paul who >> There's politicians like Ran Paul who >> There's politicians like Ran Paul who says he has a five-point plan that could says he has a five-point plan that could says he has a five-point plan that could get the America out of um out of debt. get the America out of um out of debt. get the America out of um out of debt. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> We have Javier Malay who you are >> We have Javier Malay who you are >> We have Javier Malay who you are standing up right now that says this has standing up right now that says this has standing up right now that says this has been a tough austerity plan but in three been a tough austerity plan but in three been a tough austerity plan but in three years I was able to turn the country years I was able to turn the country years I was able to turn the country around. around. around. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> And America >> And America >> And America >> months by the way I think less than >> months by the way I think less than >> months by the way I think less than three years three years three years >> America's doing none of that. Um because >> America's doing none of that. Um because >> America's doing none of that. Um because right now we're not building up the right now we're not building up the right now we're not building up the middle class. We're extending to another middle class. We're extending to another middle class. We're extending to another war. We talked about invading another war. We talked about invading another war. We talked about invading another country. We have military operations in country. We have military operations in country. We have military operations in four different continents. So four different continents. So four different continents. So >> what should we be doing that we're not >> what should we be doing that we're not >> what should we be doing that we're not doing? Cuz I don't want to look at the doing? Cuz I don't want to look at the doing? Cuz I don't want to look at the current administration and say that current administration and say that current administration and say that they're fighting for us to get out of they're fighting for us to get out of they're fighting for us to get out of debt or reduce the deficit because they debt or reduce the deficit because they debt or reduce the deficit because they haven't been doing any of that. The last haven't been doing any of that. The last haven't been doing any of that. The last administration hasn't. The last one, the administration hasn't. The last one, the administration hasn't. The last one, the last one. I could keep going back until last one. I could keep going back until last one. I could keep going back until 1971 um when they said the de that 1971 um when they said the de that 1971 um when they said the de that doesn't even matter. Let's blow it all doesn't even matter. Let's blow it all doesn't even matter. Let's blow it all up. So, we haven't been on this track. up. So, we haven't been on this track. up. So, we haven't been on this track. What does America need to do to get on What does America need to do to get on What does America need to do to get on the right track in the vein of Argentina the right track in the vein of Argentina the right track in the vein of Argentina and turn things around, increase the and turn things around, increase the and turn things around, increase the middle class prosperity? middle class prosperity? middle class prosperity? >> Do you remember those toys that you >> Do you remember those toys that you >> Do you remember those toys that you would pull the string on its back and it would pull the string on its back and it would pull the string on its back and it would say like a pre-recorded message? would say like a pre-recorded message? would say like a pre-recorded message? Yeah. I This question is the version of Yeah. I This question is the version of Yeah. I This question is the version of pulling the string in my back uh to let pulling the string in my back uh to let pulling the string in my back uh to let me say that you have to balance the me say that you have to balance the me say that you have to balance the budget. you can't um be deficit spending budget. you can't um be deficit spending budget. you can't um be deficit spending and then printing money to cover the and then printing money to cover the and then printing money to cover the gap. Like if you stop those two things, gap. Like if you stop those two things, gap. Like if you stop those two things, people would not recognize this country people would not recognize this country people would not recognize this country because the middle class would be able because the middle class would be able because the middle class would be able to start saving their money. Um and when to start saving their money. Um and when to start saving their money. Um and when you put people in a position where they you put people in a position where they you put people in a position where they can save their way to prosperity, you can save their way to prosperity, you can save their way to prosperity, you have in my opinion done the moral thing have in my opinion done the moral thing have in my opinion done the moral thing because it's the only thing everybody because it's the only thing everybody because it's the only thing everybody understands it quite literally. If you understands it quite literally. If you understands it quite literally. If you are in your 20s or over and you don't are in your 20s or over and you don't are in your 20s or over and you don't understand that if I spend less than I understand that if I spend less than I understand that if I spend less than I make, I'm in good shape, um, then you make, I'm in good shape, um, then you make, I'm in good shape, um, then you quite literally your IQ is so low, we quite literally your IQ is so low, we quite literally your IQ is so low, we just can't even think about you. So, just can't even think about you. So, just can't even think about you. So, this is one of those questions where do this is one of those questions where do this is one of those questions where do the moral thing, do the thing that the moral thing, do the thing that the moral thing, do the thing that everybody understands. It's a one, two everybody understands. It's a one, two everybody understands. It's a one, two of let me buy a house and let me save of let me buy a house and let me save of let me buy a house and let me save for prosperity. You do like that, but for prosperity. You do like that, but for prosperity. You do like that, but you can't do that if you're inflating you can't do that if you're inflating you can't do that if you're inflating the money supply. And that's exactly the money supply. And that's exactly the money supply. And that's exactly what we're doing. So you have to stop what we're doing. So you have to stop what we're doing. So you have to stop giving things away for free. The giving things away for free. The giving things away for free. The government has to say we take in this government has to say we take in this government has to say we take in this much in taxes. The laugher curve is much in taxes. The laugher curve is much in taxes. The laugher curve is real. We can only tax people so much. So real. We can only tax people so much. So real. We can only tax people so much. So this is how much we're going to tax this is how much we're going to tax this is how much we're going to tax people. Uh within that we're going to I people. Uh within that we're going to I people. Uh within that we're going to I think you should let people vote on this think you should let people vote on this think you should let people vote on this kind of stuff. Uh much like you would do kind of stuff. Uh much like you would do kind of stuff. Uh much like you would do with um what are those things called? A with um what are those things called? A with um what are those things called? A bond or whatever where they try to raise bond or whatever where they try to raise bond or whatever where they try to raise money like we want to make a school or a money like we want to make a school or a money like we want to make a school or a sporting center or whatever. And so you sporting center or whatever. And so you sporting center or whatever. And so you go vote on that [ __ ] Um, so making the go vote on that [ __ ] Um, so making the go vote on that [ __ ] Um, so making the budgets completely transparent, letting budgets completely transparent, letting budgets completely transparent, letting people comb through it with AI, uh, and people comb through it with AI, uh, and people comb through it with AI, uh, and then come up with some sort of, it's not then come up with some sort of, it's not then come up with some sort of, it's not going to be a line item voting, but like going to be a line item voting, but like going to be a line item voting, but like come up with some sort of system where, come up with some sort of system where, come up with some sort of system where, uh, that if you want to spend something uh, that if you want to spend something uh, that if you want to spend something that isn't a balanced budget and people that isn't a balanced budget and people that isn't a balanced budget and people are going to be taxed additional for it are going to be taxed additional for it are going to be taxed additional for it because you have to get the tax to because you have to get the tax to because you have to get the tax to balance the budget to do this thing that balance the budget to do this thing that balance the budget to do this thing that they get a vote on that new thing. So, they get a vote on that new thing. So, they get a vote on that new thing. So, it'll be something like Congress says, it'll be something like Congress says, it'll be something like Congress says, "Here's the balanced budget and here are "Here's the balanced budget and here are "Here's the balanced budget and here are four things that we want you to vote on four things that we want you to vote on four things that we want you to vote on where we want to increase taxes and um where we want to increase taxes and um where we want to increase taxes and um do this that people go, "Yeah, cool. I'm do this that people go, "Yeah, cool. I'm do this that people go, "Yeah, cool. I'm going to vote for that or I'm not going going to vote for that or I'm not going going to vote for that or I'm not going to vote for it." But that it needs to be to vote for it." But that it needs to be to vote for it." But that it needs to be done via taxes, not money printing. That done via taxes, not money printing. That done via taxes, not money printing. That way, the people that are actually going way, the people that are actually going way, the people that are actually going to they understand that it's going to to they understand that it's going to to they understand that it's going to come out of their pocket because right come out of their pocket because right come out of their pocket because right now it comes out of their pocket through now it comes out of their pocket through now it comes out of their pocket through deficit spending. They just don't deficit spending. They just don't deficit spending. They just don't understand it. Um, and then honestly, understand it. Um, and then honestly, understand it. Um, and then honestly, you probably have to revisit the number you probably have to revisit the number you probably have to revisit the number of people that pay tax. Like right now, of people that pay tax. Like right now, of people that pay tax. Like right now, it's close to 50% of Americans get it's close to 50% of Americans get it's close to 50% of Americans get public assistance. That's crazy. That's public assistance. That's crazy. That's public assistance. That's crazy. That's crazy. So, you've got to figure that crazy. So, you've got to figure that crazy. So, you've got to figure that out. So, yeah, that that look, we could out. So, yeah, that that look, we could out. So, yeah, that that look, we could go on and on. You've got to bring go on and on. You've got to bring go on and on. You've got to bring manufacturing back, blah, blah, blah. manufacturing back, blah, blah, blah. manufacturing back, blah, blah, blah. Globalism was not good for America. Globalism was not good for America. Globalism was not good for America. You've got to look at that. You've got to look at that. You've got to look at that. >> Yes. But a lot of those things in the >> Yes. But a lot of those things in the >> Yes. But a lot of those things in the Argentine model, they're not necessarily Argentine model, they're not necessarily Argentine model, they're not necessarily doing. I think he started with austerity doing. I think he started with austerity doing.

Fire government employees a lot of >> Okay. Fire government employees a lot of them like a lot a huge percentage them like a lot a huge percentage them like a lot a huge percentage because they don't they're counted in because they don't they're counted in because they don't they're counted in GDP but they don't actually grow GDP but they don't actually grow GDP but they don't actually grow anything. anything. anything. >> Um the government is uh from a >> Um the government is uh from a >> Um the government is uh from a bureaucracy standpoint is growing bureaucracy standpoint is growing bureaucracy standpoint is growing absolutely out of control. that will absolutely out of control. that will absolutely out of control. that will also send a bunch of really intelligent also send a bunch of really intelligent also send a bunch of really intelligent people back into the private sector people back into the private sector people back into the private sector where they're going to be forced to where they're going to be forced to where they're going to be forced to compete and um innovate to keep their compete and um innovate to keep their compete and um innovate to keep their jobs. So that's a huge win. Um you've jobs. So that's a huge win. Um you've jobs. So that's a huge win. Um you've got to get all of your social services got to get all of your social services got to get all of your social services have to be means tested. So if somebody have to be means tested. So if somebody have to be means tested. So if somebody doesn't need them, they should not get doesn't need them, they should not get doesn't need them, they should not get them. So there was a guy recently, he's them. So there was a guy recently, he's them. So there was a guy recently, he's a multi-millionaire, but he doesn't have a multi-millionaire, but he doesn't have a multi-millionaire, but he doesn't have an income. So like I don't draw money an income. So like I don't draw money an income. So like I don't draw money out of impact theory. I just reinvest out of impact theory. I just reinvest out of impact theory. I just reinvest everything. So technically I have a everything. So technically I have a everything. So technically I have a small income because we have to do that small income because we have to do that small income because we have to do that for um uh healthcare but I would just for um uh healthcare but I would just for um uh healthcare but I would just reinvest it. So I take a very small reinvest it. So I take a very small reinvest it. So I take a very small salary so I cover the fact that I have salary so I cover the fact that I have salary so I cover the fact that I have to to get healthcare through impact to to get healthcare through impact to to get healthcare through impact theory. Uh and then I just then resend theory. Uh and then I just then resend theory. Uh and then I just then resend all of my salary back into the company all of my salary back into the company all of my salary back into the company as an investment. So anyway I I don't as an investment. So anyway I I don't as an investment. So anyway I I don't take money out. So on paper I look take money out. So on paper I look take money out. So on paper I look impoverished. impoverished. impoverished. So, I could be getting food stamps. So, I could be getting food stamps. So, I could be getting food stamps. Think about that. Think about that. Think about that. >> So, that's crazy. So, anyway, this guy >> So, that's crazy. So, anyway, this guy >> So, that's crazy. So, anyway, this guy does it to prove this is stupid. We're does it to prove this is stupid. We're does it to prove this is stupid. We're not means testing this. We're trying to not means testing this. We're trying to not means testing this. We're trying to get people addicted to it so they'll get people addicted to it so they'll get people addicted to it so they'll vote for the people that give away the vote for the people that give away the vote for the people that give away the most free [ __ ] We need to stop most free [ __ ] We need to stop most free [ __ ] We need to stop immediately doing that. immediately doing that. immediately doing that. >> You need people to work.

And by the way, I would lower, God, this one's going to I would lower, God, this one's going to I would lower, God, this one's going to be a hot take. People are not going to be a hot take. People are not going to be a hot take. People are not going to like this. I would lower the minimum like this. I would lower the minimum like this. I would lower the minimum wage in the places where it's getting wage in the places where it's getting wage in the places where it's getting ridiculous so that uh people that are ridiculous so that uh people that are ridiculous so that uh people that are otherwise unemployable can get a job otherwise unemployable can get a job otherwise unemployable can get a job because people just do not understand because people just do not understand because people just do not understand how business works. You look at that how business works. You look at that how business works. You look at that employee and you go, "Yeah, I'm not employee and you go, "Yeah, I'm not employee and you go, "Yeah, I'm not paying that person $20 or whatever. Um paying that person $20 or whatever. Um paying that person $20 or whatever. Um I'd rather get a robot." And not all I'd rather get a robot." And not all I'd rather get a robot." And not all robots are going to look humanoid, but robots are going to look humanoid, but robots are going to look humanoid, but I'd rather like get the grill thing that I'd rather like get the grill thing that I'd rather like get the grill thing that flips itself. uh because I don't have to flips itself. uh because I don't have to flips itself. uh because I don't have to worry about any of the headaches that worry about any of the headaches that worry about any of the headaches that come with employees and that person's come with employees and that person's come with employees and that person's just going to have a very hard time just going to have a very hard time just going to have a very hard time justifying $20. If they were, you know, justifying $20. If they were, you know, justifying $20. If they were, you know, whatever, $14, whatever, $14, whatever, $14, um then yeah, I might hire them. So, I um then yeah, I might hire them. So, I um then yeah, I might hire them. So, I get it. That one's going to be a hot get it. That one's going to be a hot get it. That one's going to be a hot take, whatever. But it's like the point take, whatever. But it's like the point take, whatever. But it's like the point of those early jobs is to get people of those early jobs is to get people of those early jobs is to get people into the workforce to get them some into the workforce to get them some into the workforce to get them some experience so that they can learn how experience so that they can learn how experience so that they can learn how this works, that they can get better, this works, that they can get better, this works, that they can get better, that they can move up. Like I remember that they can move up. Like I remember that they can move up. Like I remember my cousin started at KFC and he was just my cousin started at KFC and he was just my cousin started at KFC and he was just like the minimum wage guy like running like the minimum wage guy like running like the minimum wage guy like running the fryer the fryer the fryer >> and he just never left and by the end >> and he just never left and by the end >> and he just never left and by the end was like a regional manager overseeing was like a regional manager overseeing was like a regional manager overseeing God knows how many stores making a God knows how many stores making a God knows how many stores making a fortune. At one point he was doing fortune. At one point he was doing fortune. At one point he was doing better than anyone else in the family. better than anyone else in the family. better than anyone else in the family. We were all like godamn like literally We were all like godamn like literally We were all like godamn like literally from being the fry boy and he just kept from being the fry boy and he just kept from being the fry boy and he just kept working his way up, working his way up, working his way up, working his way up, working his way up, working his way up, working his way up, working his way up. working his way up, working his way up. working his way up, working his way up. And AI is already going to cater a lot And AI is already going to cater a lot And AI is already going to cater a lot of entry-level jobs. And so the fact of entry-level jobs. And so the fact of entry-level jobs. And so the fact that we put these other thing like the that we put these other thing like the that we put these other thing like the way people's mentality right now is way people's mentality right now is way people's mentality right now is every job needs to feed a family of every job needs to feed a family of every job needs to feed a family of four. That's ridiculous. So some jobs four. That's ridiculous. So some jobs four. That's ridiculous. So some jobs are meant to be the thing that's like, are meant to be the thing that's like, are meant to be the thing that's like, "Hey, I don't want to stay here for very "Hey, I don't want to stay here for very "Hey, I don't want to stay here for very long."

So, listen, I think that people >> Yeah. So, listen, I think that people >> Yeah. So, listen, I think that people are misreading OpenAI's closing of their are misreading OpenAI's closing of their are misreading OpenAI's closing of their video generation system, Sora. This video generation system, Sora. This video generation system, Sora. This doesn't mean that video generation just doesn't mean that video generation just doesn't mean that video generation just took a big L. It means that OpenAI took a big L. It means that OpenAI took a big L. It means that OpenAI realizes that they're going to be going realizes that they're going to be going realizes that they're going to be going public and they've got to start spending public and they've got to start spending public and they've got to start spending their capital in ways that people that their capital in ways that people that their capital in ways that people that are going to buy that stock think are are going to buy that stock think are are going to buy that stock think are smart. And so this is what people often smart. And so this is what people often smart. And so this is what people often refer to as the sharps. So the sharps refer to as the sharps. So the sharps refer to as the sharps. So the sharps are the people that really understand are the people that really understand are the people that really understand the economy.

And they look at um make it go down. And they look at um OpenAI specifically not being able to OpenAI specifically not being able to OpenAI specifically not being able to corner the market on the video corner the market on the video corner the market on the video generation. and it is just generation. and it is just generation. and it is just computationally massively demanding and computationally massively demanding and computationally massively demanding and so they want to point that compute which so they want to point that compute which so they want to point that compute which is ultimately limited at things that are is ultimately limited at things that are is ultimately limited at things that are going to be better revenue generators going to be better revenue generators going to be better revenue generators per bit of compute. If you look at the per bit of compute. If you look at the per bit of compute. If you look at the move through that angle it's like other move through that angle it's like other move through that angle it's like other people are going to pick up and run with people are going to pick up and run with people are going to pick up and run with the video generation that's not going the video generation that's not going the video generation that's not going anywhere and it's just about open AI anywhere and it's just about open AI anywhere and it's just about open AI pivoting to something else already. I pivoting to something else already. I pivoting to something else already. I wouldn't say Sora was at the bleeding wouldn't say Sora was at the bleeding wouldn't say Sora was at the bleeding edge of what people are doing from video edge of what people are doing from video edge of what people are doing from video generation. You heard about them when generation. You heard about them when generation. You heard about them when they first popped off and it was a lot they first popped off and it was a lot they first popped off and it was a lot of fun. It was very exciting. But there of fun. It was very exciting. But there of fun. It was very exciting. But there are so many companies competing to be are so many companies competing to be are so many companies competing to be the winner in that space. So you've got the winner in that space.

So you've got one of the competitors going as I go one of the competitors going as I go one of the competitors going as I go into my public offering I realize I need into my public offering I realize I need into my public offering I realize I need to spend my capital elsewhere.

I would love a deep dive on how the NUMI auto plant a deep dive on how the NUMI auto plant a deep dive on how the NUMI auto plant was a public subsidy and gave Tesla the was a public subsidy and gave Tesla the was a public subsidy and gave Tesla the basics to build California and federal basics to build California and federal basics to build California and federal tax dollars. Public dollars in the Tesla tax dollars. Public dollars in the Tesla tax dollars. Public dollars in the Tesla dollars. But that does not fit the story dollars. But that does not fit the story dollars. But that does not fit the story now. Yeah. So, this is one of those now. Yeah. So, this is one of those now. Yeah. So, this is one of those areas where we have to decide as a areas where we have to decide as a areas where we have to decide as a nation, do we want to give subsidies or nation, do we want to give subsidies or nation, do we want to give subsidies or not? And so, I think people are mad at not? And so, I think people are mad at not? And so, I think people are mad at Elon because he took advantage of Elon because he took advantage of Elon because he took advantage of subsidies that were there. But it's not subsidies that were there. But it's not subsidies that were there. But it's not like he was the only one that could take like he was the only one that could take like he was the only one that could take advantage of it. The subsidies were advantage of it. The subsidies were advantage of it. The subsidies were available for anybody. So, either do available for anybody. So, either do available for anybody. So, either do subsidies or don't, but don't be mad at subsidies or don't, but don't be mad at subsidies or don't, but don't be mad at people that leverage a subsidy. That's people that leverage a subsidy. That's people that leverage a subsidy. That's the whole point is you created the the whole point is you created the the whole point is you created the subsidy so people would leverage it. Uh subsidy so people would leverage it. Uh subsidy so people would leverage it. Uh and if we want to say it's only avail and if we want to say it's only avail and if we want to say it's only avail like we want to start running a um like we want to start running a um like we want to start running a um sovereign wealth fund which gets very sovereign wealth fund which gets very sovereign wealth fund which gets very dangerous very fast but if we wanted to dangerous very fast but if we wanted to dangerous very fast but if we wanted to do that and we want to take stakes in do that and we want to take stakes in do that and we want to take stakes in companies so that hey if American tax companies so that hey if American tax companies so that hey if American tax dollars pay for it then we want to make dollars pay for it then we want to make dollars pay for it then we want to make sure that Americans get a piece of that sure that Americans get a piece of that sure that Americans get a piece of that company again it's very dangerous and I company again it's very dangerous and I company again it's very dangerous and I don't love it at the surface but at don't love it at the surface but at don't love it at the surface but at least that warrants a conversation fine least that warrants a conversation fine least that warrants a conversation fine um but again whoever takes advantage of um but again whoever takes advantage of um but again whoever takes advantage of the subsidy. Don't be mad. Look at the the subsidy. Don't be mad. Look at the the subsidy. Don't be mad. Look at the subsidy and decide if we actually want subsidy and decide if we actually want subsidy and decide if we actually want to spend tax dollars to incentivize to spend tax dollars to incentivize to spend tax dollars to incentivize people to do that. One of the things people to do that. One of the things people to do that. One of the things that America and American taxpayers do that America and American taxpayers do that America and American taxpayers do not get enough credit for is we've run a not get enough credit for is we've run a not get enough credit for is we've run a strategy that says we want companies to strategy that says we want companies to strategy that says we want companies to thrive so that there's jobs. Cool. So, thrive so that there's jobs. Cool. So, thrive so that there's jobs. Cool. So, we've done things with subsidies, tax we've done things with subsidies, tax we've done things with subsidies, tax zones, etc., etc., to make sure that zones, etc., etc., to make sure that zones, etc., etc., to make sure that companies are able to thrive because we companies are able to thrive because we companies are able to thrive because we have the belief that there's a knock-on have the belief that there's a knock-on have the belief that there's a knock-on effect of jobs, a prosperous economy, effect of jobs, a prosperous economy, effect of jobs, a prosperous economy, that that makes things better for that that makes things better for that that makes things better for everybody. And when we had a thriving everybody. And when we had a thriving everybody. And when we had a thriving middle class, that was extraordinary. middle class, that was extraordinary. middle class, that was extraordinary. Extraordinary. And was one of the Extraordinary. And was one of the Extraordinary. And was one of the things, I'll put it in the national things, I'll put it in the national things, I'll put it in the national security bucket. It was one of the security bucket. It was one of the security bucket. It was one of the things that made America so strong. And things that made America so strong. And things that made America so strong. And so I don't want to necessarily see us do so I don't want to necessarily see us do so I don't want to necessarily see us do away with um the government spending tax away with um the government spending tax away with um the government spending tax dollars on making things possible like dollars on making things possible like dollars on making things possible like um technological infrastructure and um technological infrastructure and um technological infrastructure and things like that. But at the same time, things like that. But at the same time, things like that. But at the same time, um, we do need to be cleareyed about um, we do need to be cleareyed about um, we do need to be cleareyed about what we're going to give subsidies to what we're going to give subsidies to what we're going to give subsidies to and that that allows people to build and that that allows people to build and that that allows people to build these companies that then end up having these companies that then end up having these companies that then end up having tremendous value that's collected to the tremendous value that's collected to the tremendous value that's collected to the shareholders. We're not doing enough to shareholders. We're not doing enough to shareholders. We're not doing enough to make the average American a shareholder, make the average American a shareholder, make the average American a shareholder, yada yada. Um, but I would take a harder yada yada. Um, but I would take a harder yada yada. Um, but I would take a harder look at that than just a um, Tesla is no look at that than just a um, Tesla is no look at that than just a um, Tesla is no longer being honest about the dollars longer being honest about the dollars longer being honest about the dollars that they collected in the beginning. that they collected in the beginning. that they collected in the beginning.

And the are we getting weird about it? And the are we getting weird about it? And the correct answer there is people are correct answer there is people are correct answer there is people are afraid that it's going to rob them of a afraid that it's going to rob them of a afraid that it's going to rob them of a job and meaning and purpose. So, it's job and meaning and purpose. So, it's job and meaning and purpose. So, it's like, okay, cool. Well, let's map that like, okay, cool. Well, let's map that like, okay, cool. Well, let's map that out. How do we do this? Well, what does out. How do we do this? Well, what does out. How do we do this? Well, what does it look like? How does it exactly bring it look like? How does it exactly bring it look like? How does it exactly bring about the age of abundance? I've talked about the age of abundance? I've talked about the age of abundance? I've talked about this a million times. By driving about this a million times. By driving about this a million times. By driving energy costs to zero, you can drive energy costs to zero, you can drive energy costs to zero, you can drive labor costs to zero. But ultimately, the labor costs to zero.

But ultimately, the thing that you need to have all the thing that you need to have all the thing that you need to have all the things that you've ever wanted in your things that you've ever wanted in your things that you've ever wanted in your life are uh energy cost being life are uh energy cost being life are uh energy cost being effectively zero, labor cost being zero, effectively zero, labor cost being zero, effectively zero, labor cost being zero, and you only get there via intelligence. and you only get there via intelligence. and you only get there via intelligence.
