So negotiating anything into the future. So that was pretty crazy. I was holding my that was pretty crazy. I was holding my that was pretty crazy. I was holding my breath a bit to see how things would breath a bit to see how things would breath a bit to see how things would actually play out. Now, thankfully, actually play out. Now, thankfully, actually play out. Now, thankfully, things did not play out horribly, even things did not play out horribly, even things did not play out horribly, even though the Iranians originally said the though the Iranians originally said the though the Iranians originally said the talks were dead, that they weren't even talks were dead, that they weren't even talks were dead, that they weren't even going to come back. There was all kinds going to come back. There was all kinds going to come back. There was all kinds of stuff on social media saying, "Oh, of stuff on social media saying, "Oh, of stuff on social media saying, "Oh, look how JD Vance has been humiliated by look how JD Vance has been humiliated by look how JD Vance has been humiliated by the Iranian delegation. The Qataris the Iranian delegation. The Qataris the Iranian delegation. The Qataris snubbed him." Uh, and Iran said, "We're snubbed him." Uh, and Iran said, "We're snubbed him." Uh, and Iran said, "We're not coming back until Trump apologizes not coming back until Trump apologizes not coming back until Trump apologizes and Israel leaves Lebanon." So, at one and Israel leaves Lebanon." So, at one and Israel leaves Lebanon." So, at one point, I think it was early Sunday point, I think it was early Sunday point, I think it was early Sunday morning, I thought, well, those talks morning, I thought, well, those talks morning, I thought, well, those talks are done. I can expect gas prices to are done. I can expect gas prices to are done. I can expect gas prices to skyrocket back up on Monday. But somehow skyrocket back up on Monday. But somehow skyrocket back up on Monday. But somehow someway, it all got pulled back someway, it all got pulled back someway, it all got pulled back together. Uh, so a reminder to all of us together. Uh, so a reminder to all of us together. Uh, so a reminder to all of us that the internet is not a real place. that the internet is not a real place. that the internet is not a real place. People tend to talk in a spicy, crazy People tend to talk in a spicy, crazy People tend to talk in a spicy, crazy way on the internet that they would not way on the internet that they would not way on the internet that they would not do in real life. And we should all be do in real life. And we should all be do in real life. And we should all be very, very glad about that. So, it's very, very glad about that. So, it's very, very glad about that. So, it's cool. You get the unhinged take on where cool. You get the unhinged take on where cool. You get the unhinged take on where people at, what's their emotional people at, what's their emotional people at, what's their emotional temperature. Uh but watch what they do temperature. Uh but watch what they do temperature. Uh but watch what they do if you want to actually see where the if you want to actually see where the if you want to actually see where the rubber meets the road. And thankfully rubber meets the road. And thankfully rubber meets the road. And thankfully the rubber was them sitting down the rubber was them sitting down the rubber was them sitting down actually having a conversation uh and actually having a conversation uh and actually having a conversation uh and putting some more clarity around theou putting some more clarity around theou putting some more clarity around theou which I still think is um bad. I think which I still think is um bad. I think which I still think is um bad. I think it's going to fall apart. Uh but let us it's going to fall apart. Uh but let us it's going to fall apart. Uh but let us plant a flag as to where we are right plant a flag as to where we are right plant a flag as to where we are right now today. According to JD Vance uh now today. According to JD Vance uh now today. According to JD Vance uh great progress was made. The straight is great progress was made. The straight is great progress was made. The straight is open. a deconliction team has been put open. a deconliction team has been put open. a deconliction team has been put together. Now, what is that? They know together. Now, what is that? They know together. Now, what is that? They know that there are going to be skirmishes. I that there are going to be skirmishes. I that there are going to be skirmishes. I will give the Trump administration, they will give the Trump administration, they will give the Trump administration, they are very realistic about how these are very realistic about how these are very realistic about how these things uh play out. They have many times things uh play out. They have many times things uh play out. They have many times referred to ceasefires as where there is referred to ceasefires as where there is referred to ceasefires as where there is simply less shooting. Uh I think that simply less shooting. Uh I think that simply less shooting. Uh I think that that's probably the most accurate take. that's probably the most accurate take. that's probably the most accurate take. So, they know these skirmishes are going So, they know these skirmishes are going So, they know these skirmishes are going to pop off every now and then, and what to pop off every now and then, and what to pop off every now and then, and what they want to do is connect everyone so they want to do is connect everyone so they want to do is connect everyone so they can deescalate the situations as they can deescalate the situations as they can deescalate the situations as they arise. Iran apparently agreed also they arise. Iran apparently agreed also they arise. Iran apparently agreed also to allow nuclear inspectors back into to allow nuclear inspectors back into to allow nuclear inspectors back into their country. Uh I will however remind their country. Uh I will however remind their country. Uh I will however remind everybody that they had nuclear everybody that they had nuclear everybody that they had nuclear inspectors before. So as a part of the inspectors before. So as a part of the inspectors before. So as a part of the JCPOA, nuclear inspectors were going in. JCPOA, nuclear inspectors were going in. JCPOA, nuclear inspectors were going in. Now the Trump administration has said a Now the Trump administration has said a Now the Trump administration has said a gazillion times, yeah, but that was a gazillion times, yeah, but that was a gazillion times, yeah, but that was a bad deal and Iran was still just doing bad deal and Iran was still just doing bad deal and Iran was still just doing their thing and um spinning up the their thing and um spinning up the their thing and um spinning up the centrifuges and pushing way beyond what centrifuges and pushing way beyond what centrifuges and pushing way beyond what is necessary for civilian use. But what is necessary for civilian use. But what is necessary for civilian use. But what I will say is, well, if the inspectors I will say is, well, if the inspectors I will say is, well, if the inspectors did not work then, I'm not sure what did not work then, I'm not sure what did not work then, I'm not sure what makes us think that we're going to work makes us think that we're going to work makes us think that we're going to work now. And so either I got what I was now. And so either I got what I was now. And so either I got what I was going to get in terms of change when you going to get in terms of change when you going to get in terms of change when you bomb the life out of their facilities, bomb the life out of their facilities, bomb the life out of their facilities, but I should still expect them to move but I should still expect them to move but I should still expect them to move forward and ignore all of that. Um, or forward and ignore all of that. Um, or forward and ignore all of that. Um, or you're going to have to explain to me you're going to have to explain to me you're going to have to explain to me why things are going to be different why things are going to be different why things are going to be different this time. Uh, and I'm sure he's going this time. Uh, and I'm sure he's going this time. Uh, and I'm sure he's going to say something along the lines of, to say something along the lines of, to say something along the lines of, "They know that we'll go in and bomb "They know that we'll go in and bomb "They know that we'll go in and bomb things." things." things." That's a pretty fragile piece. Uh, and That's a pretty fragile piece. Uh, and That's a pretty fragile piece. Uh, and obviously gives them all the incentive obviously gives them all the incentive obviously gives them all the incentive in the world to just hide things better. in the world to just hide things better. in the world to just hide things better. So, uh, I remain incredibly skeptical So, uh, I remain incredibly skeptical So, uh, I remain incredibly skeptical about this, but nonetheless, that is one about this, but nonetheless, that is one about this, but nonetheless, that is one of the things that they're putting of the things that they're putting of the things that they're putting forward as being a big win. I will say forward as being a big win. I will say forward as being a big win. I will say if things are this fragile at this if things are this fragile at this if things are this fragile at this point, when we're what, a handful of point, when we're what, a handful of point, when we're what, a handful of days into the 60-day extension, I still days into the 60-day extension, I still days into the 60-day extension, I still fully expect everything to fall apart as fully expect everything to fall apart as fully expect everything to fall apart as negotiations move forward. So, brace negotiations move forward. So, brace negotiations move forward. So, brace yourself for that one. Lebanon basically yourself for that one. Lebanon basically yourself for that one. Lebanon basically at this point is a whole game. So, do I at this point is a whole game. So, do I at this point is a whole game. So, do I expect Hezbollah and Israel to not shoot expect Hezbollah and Israel to not shoot expect Hezbollah and Israel to not shoot each other? No, I do not. So, uh, as I each other? No, I do not. So, uh, as I each other? No, I do not. So, uh, as I said last week, I think that in Iran's said last week, I think that in Iran's said last week, I think that in Iran's pocket is a trump card that they will pocket is a trump card that they will pocket is a trump card that they will play whenever they feel like it. They've play whenever they feel like it. They've play whenever they feel like it. They've already played it once, and that is already played it once, and that is already played it once, and that is we're backing off because Israel struck we're backing off because Israel struck we're backing off because Israel struck Lebanon. not mentioning that Hezbollah Lebanon. not mentioning that Hezbollah Lebanon. not mentioning that Hezbollah had killed five of their soldiers in one had killed five of their soldiers in one had killed five of their soldiers in one attack and then several more in a attack and then several more in a attack and then several more in a follow-up attack. So, I think that they follow-up attack. So, I think that they follow-up attack. So, I think that they can always nudge Hezbollah to act a can always nudge Hezbollah to act a can always nudge Hezbollah to act a fool. They can point at Israel refusing fool. They can point at Israel refusing fool. They can point at Israel refusing to le leave Lebanon, which the Bengavir to le leave Lebanon, which the Bengavir to le leave Lebanon, which the Bengavir anyway is banging the drum. I haven't anyway is banging the drum. I haven't anyway is banging the drum.

We are not going to give even an inch in uh the going to give even an inch in uh the going to give even an inch in uh the territory that we've taken in Lebanon. territory that we've taken in Lebanon. territory that we've taken in Lebanon. So this all feels like you've got a So this all feels like you've got a So this all feels like you've got a clause in theou that says if Israel clause in theou that says if Israel clause in theou that says if Israel doesn't get out of Lebanon that this is doesn't get out of Lebanon that this is doesn't get out of Lebanon that this is all void. Israel is saying we're not all void. Israel is saying we're not all void. Israel is saying we're not leaving Lebanon. Nobody has given any leaving Lebanon. Nobody has given any leaving Lebanon. Nobody has given any indication that Israel is leaving. Uh indication that Israel is leaving. Uh indication that Israel is leaving. Uh you've got rhetoric from Trump saying you've got rhetoric from Trump saying you've got rhetoric from Trump saying that he doesn't like the way that that he doesn't like the way that that he doesn't like the way that they're handling it, but he certainly they're handling it, but he certainly they're handling it, but he certainly hasn't said don't worry, they're all hasn't said don't worry, they're all hasn't said don't worry, they're all going to be out. Uh so yeah, we have a going to be out. Uh so yeah, we have a going to be out. Uh so yeah, we have a 60-day clock that ticks away. Uh, and I 60-day clock that ticks away. Uh, and I 60-day clock that ticks away. Uh, and I think America is bargaining from a point think America is bargaining from a point think America is bargaining from a point of weakness.

And so for him, that's like he he's not able to for him, that's like he he's not able to for him, that's like he he's not able to run that calculus. And then on top of run that calculus. And then on top of run that calculus. And then on top of that, you've got people who are both that, you've got people who are both that, you've got people who are both backed into corners. Now Trump's corner backed into corners. Now Trump's corner backed into corners. Now Trump's corner is less terrifying, but it is like is less terrifying, but it is like is less terrifying, but it is like getting impeached, possibly going to getting impeached, possibly going to getting impeached, possibly going to prison if it really all breaks bad and prison if it really all breaks bad and prison if it really all breaks bad and the Republicans lose power and Democrats the Republicans lose power and Democrats the Republicans lose power and Democrats now have like a moral high ground to now have like a moral high ground to now have like a moral high ground to stand on and be like, "Oh, we never stand on and be like, "Oh, we never stand on and be like, "Oh, we never would have done that." And so that could would have done that." And so that could would have done that." And so that could go very, very wrong for him. The go very, very wrong for him. The go very, very wrong for him. The Iranians though, they get killed. They Iranians though, they get killed. They Iranians though, they get killed. They get Gaddafi. And so they've got to be get Gaddafi. And so they've got to be get Gaddafi. And so they've got to be very very careful because if the people very very careful because if the people very very careful because if the people are if the IRGC fractures enough that are if the IRGC fractures enough that are if the IRGC fractures enough that militant armed groups inside of Iran, militant armed groups inside of Iran, militant armed groups inside of Iran, whether the Kurds or actually like whether the Kurds or actually like whether the Kurds or actually like people breaking off from the IRGC that people breaking off from the IRGC that people breaking off from the IRGC that have access to weapons, then that ends have access to weapons, then that ends have access to weapons, then that ends in a whole lot of death. And so in a whole lot of death. And so in a whole lot of death. And so everybody's just like, okay, I'm not in everybody's just like, okay, I'm not in everybody's just like, okay, I'm not in the best position ever. I think the the best position ever. I think the the best position ever. I think the Iranians in are in a stronger position Iranians in are in a stronger position Iranians in are in a stronger position because of what they are willing to because of what they are willing to because of what they are willing to tolerate. Whereas the US is like, I tolerate. Whereas the US is like, I tolerate. Whereas the US is like, I can't let inflation get too high. I can't let inflation get too high.

If you remember when we first started If you remember when we first started If you remember when we first started covering this, this is after they've covering this, this is after they've covering this, this is after they've blown up Fort blown up Fort blown up Fort and all of a sudden I can feel them and all of a sudden I can feel them and all of a sudden I can feel them ratcheting back up to attack Iran. And I ratcheting back up to attack Iran. And I ratcheting back up to attack Iran. And I was like, wait, is this about the fact was like, wait, is this about the fact was like, wait, is this about the fact that they killed their own people? What that they killed their own people? What that they killed their own people? What what like what has gotten him riled up? what like what has gotten him riled up? what like what has gotten him riled up? And at first it was like a bunch of And at first it was like a bunch of And at first it was like a bunch of things and like over time they realize, things and like over time they realize, things and like over time they realize, oh, the messaging that sticks is the oh, the messaging that sticks is the oh, the messaging that sticks is the nuclear thing, so just beat that to nuclear thing, so just beat that to nuclear thing, so just beat that to death. And so now they're acting as if death. And so now they're acting as if death. And so now they're acting as if that was always the real thing. But I'm that was always the real thing. But I'm that was always the real thing. But I'm supposed to hold in my head, I supposed to hold in my head, I supposed to hold in my head, I completely destroyed their nuclear completely destroyed their nuclear completely destroyed their nuclear capabilities with a couple bunker buster capabilities with a couple bunker buster capabilities with a couple bunker buster bombs. Aren't we the best? To no, no, bombs. Aren't we the best? To no, no, bombs. Aren't we the best? To no, no, no. Like we've got to destroy the whole no. Like we've got to destroy the whole no. Like we've got to destroy the whole country because these guys were like country because these guys were like country because these guys were like seconds away from a nuclear weapon. So seconds away from a nuclear weapon. So seconds away from a nuclear weapon. So it's like, well, it's like, well, it's like, well, one of those messages is a lie. So uh one of those messages is a lie. So uh one of those messages is a lie. So uh now I know that this is all just spin. now I know that this is all just spin. now I know that this is all just spin. So, what they're doing is market So, what they're doing is market So, what they're doing is market research, and they're just trying to research, and they're just trying to research, and they're just trying to figure out what can I say and repeat figure out what can I say and repeat figure out what can I say and repeat enough that you're going to be uh on my enough that you're going to be uh on my enough that you're going to be uh on my side so I can win at the midterms and side so I can win at the midterms and side so I can win at the midterms and then keep another Republican in power in then keep another Republican in power in then keep another Republican in power in 2028. 2028. 2028. >> Yeah, you covered it at the top, but you >> Yeah, you covered it at the top, but you >> Yeah, you covered it at the top, but you know, JD Vance says that they have made know, JD Vance says that they have made know, JD Vance says that they have made progress on their force talking points, progress on their force talking points, progress on their force talking points, establishing a conversation and a establishing a conversation and a establishing a conversation and a framework. So if ceasefire or something framework. So if ceasefire or something framework. So if ceasefire or something does break down, they have a structure does break down, they have a structure does break down, they have a structure talking about nuclear agreeing to talking about nuclear agreeing to talking about nuclear agreeing to getting the um inspectors in there and getting the um inspectors in there and getting the um inspectors in there and things like that. So it seems that what things like that. So it seems that what things like that. So it seems that what they're telling us on face value on they're telling us on face value on they're telling us on face value on paper, we're at least making progress paper, we're at least making progress paper, we're at least making progress going in the right direction. Um is it going in the right direction. Um is it going in the right direction. Um is it now just we just have to make sure now just we just have to make sure now just we just have to make sure Israel doesn't bomb Lebanon too hard or Israel doesn't bomb Lebanon too hard or Israel doesn't bomb Lebanon too hard or do you think Iran is just kind of using do you think Iran is just kind of using do you think Iran is just kind of using that as a scapegoat? that as a scapegoat? that as a scapegoat? >> So dumb. >> So dumb. >> So dumb. >> Yeah.

Like what what do you think will impede this what what do you think will impede this what what do you think will impede this progress now? um with kind of the the progress now? um with kind of the the progress now? um with kind of the the approach that JD Vance is taking because approach that JD Vance is taking because approach that JD Vance is taking because he seems very level-headed versus the he seems very level-headed versus the he seems very level-headed versus the Trump do what I say now or I'mma buy me Trump do what I say now or I'mma buy me Trump do what I say now or I'mma buy me to the stone ages. to the stone ages. to the stone ages. like, "Hey, we're getting together in a like, "Hey, we're getting together in a like, "Hey, we're getting together in a room.

Although, there's all kinds of be loyal. Although, there's all kinds of be loyal. Although, there's all kinds of rumors about JD Vance being so rumors about JD Vance being so rumors about JD Vance being so anti-Trump's foreign policy that maybe anti-Trump's foreign policy that maybe anti-Trump's foreign policy that maybe he doesn't get that credit. But, he has he doesn't get that credit. But, he has he doesn't get that credit. But, he has sent him over to negotiate. So there's sent him over to negotiate. So there's sent him over to negotiate. So there's enough goodwill there that he's letting enough goodwill there that he's letting enough goodwill there that he's letting that happen. So JD is always going to that happen.

He's very calm. He's very rational. He's very calm. He's very rational. He's very calm. He's very intelligent. He's eloquent. So he offers intelligent. He's eloquent. So he offers intelligent. He's eloquent. So he offers a very good counterbalance to Trump. Now a very good counterbalance to Trump. Now a very good counterbalance to Trump. Now I will admit, even though I thought what I will admit, even though I thought what I will admit, even though I thought what Trump said was completely unhinged, I Trump said was completely unhinged, I Trump said was completely unhinged, I was like, was like, was like, >> "You won't make it back to your [ __ ] >> "You won't make it back to your [ __ ] >> "You won't make it back to your [ __ ] country." country." country." >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Got it. >> Got it. >> Got it. >> Um >> Um >> Um he's shown he he will just kill kill.

So, it's like but in and all of that. So, it's like but in the face of industrial scale murder and the face of industrial scale murder and the face of industrial scale murder and uh ethnic cleansing, it's like you just uh ethnic cleansing, it's like you just uh ethnic cleansing, it's like you just kind of forget. So, it's one of those kind of forget. So, it's one of those kind of forget.

So, I don't think we understand why we're as married to understand why we're as married to understand why we're as married to Israel as we are. So, if we're married Israel as we are. So, if we're married Israel as we are. So, if we're married to Israel simply because they fund to Israel simply because they fund to Israel simply because they fund politicians, elect better politicians. politicians, elect better politicians. politicians, elect better politicians. Um, that one is it's so straightforward Um, that one is it's so straightforward Um, that one is it's so straightforward and yet seemingly impossible to do. I'm and yet seemingly impossible to do. I'm and yet seemingly impossible to do. I'm going to speedrun how um lobbying going to speedrun how um lobbying going to speedrun how um lobbying actually works because I don't think actually works because I don't think actually works because I don't think people understand it. The way that people understand it. The way that people understand it. The way that lobbying actually works is you're not lobbying actually works is you're not lobbying actually works is you're not just throwing money at a candidate just throwing money at a candidate just throwing money at a candidate today, which is why um Apac doesn't today, which is why um Apac doesn't today, which is why um Apac doesn't necessarily have to be one of the necessarily have to be one of the necessarily have to be one of the largest contributors and I'm sure big largest contributors and I'm sure big largest contributors and I'm sure big pharma does this. And so anyway, uh what pharma does this. And so anyway, uh what pharma does this. And so anyway, uh what they do is they go find a young guy they do is they go find a young guy they do is they go find a young guy running for city council and they check running for city council and they check running for city council and they check his beliefs and if that person is just his beliefs and if that person is just his beliefs and if that person is just actually in alignment with their stuff, actually in alignment with their stuff, actually in alignment with their stuff, they give him some money and they're they give him some money and they're they give him some money and they're like, "Let's see what you do." And so like, "Let's see what you do." And so like, "Let's see what you do." And so that person has been being funded since that person has been being funded since that person has been being funded since they're like in their 20s, since they're they're like in their 20s, since they're they're like in their 20s, since they're doing like, you know, really local doing like, you know, really local doing like, you know, really local stuff. And so it's more of a survival stuff. And so it's more of a survival stuff. And so it's more of a survival bias than it's a we're going to throw bias than it's a we're going to throw bias than it's a we're going to throw big money at the problem. This is like big money at the problem. This is like big money at the problem. This is like Soros. The genius of Soros is realizing Soros. The genius of Soros is realizing Soros. The genius of Soros is realizing you got to go local. So you go to a DA you got to go local. So you go to a DA you got to go local. So you go to a DA and you just get a whole bunch of and you just get a whole bunch of and you just get a whole bunch of activist judges and this gets a whole activist judges and this gets a whole activist judges and this gets a whole lot easier. So they go and they find lot easier. So they go and they find lot easier. So they go and they find people who really just believe. Like people who really just believe. Like people who really just believe. Like Mike Huckabe is not bought and paid for. Mike Huckabe is not bought and paid for. Mike Huckabe is not bought and paid for. >> Like he believes what he believes. And >> Like he believes what he believes. And >> Like he believes what he believes. And so Mike Huckabe is the kind of person so Mike Huckabe is the kind of person so Mike Huckabe is the kind of person you find young and you work with forever you find young and you work with forever you find young and you work with forever and you just ignored hundreds of other and you just ignored hundreds of other and you just ignored hundreds of other people that you could have gone with people that you could have gone with people that you could have gone with because he's the guy that like whoa he's because he's the guy that like whoa he's because he's the guy that like whoa he's got a real read of like the scripture got a real read of like the scripture got a real read of like the scripture that makes him like want to glue himself that makes him like want to glue himself that makes him like want to glue himself to Israel. to Israel. to Israel. >> So to unwind that is like I would say >> So to unwind that is like I would say >> So to unwind that is like I would say has already begun. We've now got um a has already begun. We've now got um a has already begun. We've now got um a generation, maybe two, that have become generation, maybe two, that have become generation, maybe two, that have become completely completely completely um radicalized against Israel. Okay? So, um radicalized against Israel. Okay? So, um radicalized against Israel. Okay? So, we're running an experiment of like we're running an experiment of like we're running an experiment of like there's real cultural energy now for there's real cultural energy now for there's real cultural energy now for people who are like, I'm not going to people who are like, I'm not going to people who are like, I'm not going to take a [ __ ] dollar from you no matter take a [ __ ] dollar from you no matter take a [ __ ] dollar from you no matter what.

You're going to get a crop >> So, whatever. You're going to get a crop of politicians who are not going to be of politicians who are not going to be of politicians who are not going to be interested in being in bed with Israel. interested in being in bed with Israel. interested in being in bed with Israel. Now, money does go a long way. I'm sure Now, money does go a long way. I'm sure Now, money does go a long way. I'm sure that's part of it. You've got ultra that's part of it. You've got ultra that's part of it. You've got ultra wealthy um people who are very wealthy um people who are very wealthy um people who are very sympathetic to the Zionist cause either sympathetic to the Zionist cause either sympathetic to the Zionist cause either because they're dieh hard Christian or because they're dieh hard Christian or because they're dieh hard Christian or because they are um just they're wealthy because they are um just they're wealthy because they are um just they're wealthy and can [ __ ] they're Jewish believe and can [ __ ] they're Jewish believe and can [ __ ] they're Jewish believe in the um state of Israel and are going in the um state of Israel and are going in the um state of Israel and are going to funnel a ton of personal money into to funnel a ton of personal money into to funnel a ton of personal money into making sure that that's all very real. making sure that that's all very real. making sure that that's all very real. But I have a feeling there's also um But I have a feeling there's also um But I have a feeling there's also um Israel. The GCC nations are an Israel. The GCC nations are an Israel. The GCC nations are an increasingly important um part of the increasingly important um part of the increasingly important um part of the foreign equation. My generation didn't foreign equation. My generation didn't foreign equation. My generation didn't grow up thinking about them because my grow up thinking about them because my grow up thinking about them because my generation grew up thinking that oil was generation grew up thinking that oil was generation grew up thinking that oil was always a thing. And they don't realize always a thing. And they don't realize always a thing. And they don't realize that, nope, it's really between World that, nope, it's really between World that, nope, it's really between World War I and World War II that all the War I and World War II that all the War I and World War II that all the leaders of the world go, "Oh [ __ ] like leaders of the world go, "Oh [ __ ] like leaders of the world go, "Oh [ __ ] like we need to start building tanks and we need to start building tanks and we need to start building tanks and airplanes and all of that stuff is going airplanes and all of that stuff is going airplanes and all of that stuff is going and bigger factories and all of that and bigger factories and all of that and bigger factories and all of that stuff is going to require energy, oil." stuff is going to require energy, oil." stuff is going to require energy, oil." And so now all of a sudden all eyes on And so now all of a sudden all eyes on And so now all of a sudden all eyes on um making that switch over. And so um making that switch over. And so um making that switch over. And so reading about um Churchill was utterly reading about um Churchill was utterly reading about um Churchill was utterly fascinating because Church Hill was the fascinating because Church Hill was the fascinating because Church Hill was the guy in England that was basically like, guy in England that was basically like, guy in England that was basically like, "Hey, the Navy needs to switch over "Hey, the Navy needs to switch over "Hey, the Navy needs to switch over entirely to oil." And I was like, "Damn, entirely to oil." And I was like, "Damn, entirely to oil." And I was like, "Damn, a politician like in sort of modern a politician like in sort of modern a politician like in sort of modern history was the guy that was like, oh, history was the guy that was like, oh, history was the guy that was like, oh, we we need to switch everything over to we we need to switch everything over to we we need to switch everything over to oil." And I was like, that's really oil." And I was like, that's really oil." And I was like, that's really recent. And so when you think about this recent. And so when you think about this recent. And so when you think about this all playing out in the last hundred all playing out in the last hundred all playing out in the last hundred years that we've switched over to oil, I years that we've switched over to oil, I years that we've switched over to oil, I think it becomes a little bit easier to think it becomes a little bit easier to think it becomes a little bit easier to understand what's going on, why understand what's going on, why understand what's going on, why everybody's eyes are on what's happening everybody's eyes are on what's happening everybody's eyes are on what's happening in the Middle East. And if your guy in in the Middle East. And if your guy in in the Middle East. And if your guy in the region is Israel, and for reasons the region is Israel, and for reasons the region is Israel, and for reasons we've talked about before, they've got we've talked about before, they've got we've talked about before, they've got the possibly the most effective diaspora the possibly the most effective diaspora the possibly the most effective diaspora of any ethnic minority ever. of any ethnic minority ever. of any ethnic minority ever. >> Uh now it's like, okay, hold on. There >> Uh now it's like, okay, hold on. There >> Uh now it's like, okay, hold on. There might be a lot more going on here than might be a lot more going on here than might be a lot more going on here than just these guys um are throwing money just these guys um are throwing money just these guys um are throwing money around to politicians. So if the men in around to politicians. So if the men in around to politicians. So if the men in black suits roll up to the new black suits roll up to the new black suits roll up to the new president, whether that's Obama or president, whether that's Obama or president, whether that's Obama or anybody else, and it's like, "Bro, I get anybody else, and it's like, "Bro, I get anybody else, and it's like, "Bro, I get that you hate Israel, but let me tell that you hate Israel, but let me tell that you hate Israel, but let me tell you a little bit about what you get from you a little bit about what you get from you a little bit about what you get from Israel, and you're like, "Fuck, they're Israel, and you're like, "Fuck, they're Israel, and you're like, "Fuck, they're giving me all kinds of intel. Uh they're giving me all kinds of intel. Uh they're giving me all kinds of intel. Uh they're keeping things in that region, either keeping things in that region, either keeping things in that region, either destabilized or stabilized, depending on destabilized or stabilized, depending on destabilized or stabilized, depending on how you want to read it. but they play how you want to read it. but they play how you want to read it. but they play some insanely important role that we're some insanely important role that we're some insanely important role that we're not giving enough credit to. And so now not giving enough credit to. And so now not giving enough credit to. And so now when Miriam Adlesen rolls up and is when Miriam Adlesen rolls up and is when Miriam Adlesen rolls up and is like, I want to give you a bunch of like, I want to give you a bunch of like, I want to give you a bunch of money and the men in black suits have money and the men in black suits have money and the men in black suits have been like, "Bro, you're going to need been like, "Bro, you're going to need been like, "Bro, you're going to need these guys." Uh, all of a sudden you're these guys." Uh, all of a sudden you're these guys." Uh, all of a sudden you're like, "All right, fuck." Like, I get the like, "All right, fuck." Like, I get the like, "All right, fuck." Like, I get the money and I get the whatever that thing money and I get the whatever that thing money and I get the whatever that thing is, intel, um, destabilization, is, intel, um, destabilization, is, intel, um, destabilization, stabilization, you know, the balance of stabilization, you know, the balance of stabilization, you know, the balance of power in a way that's favorable to the power in a way that's favorable to the power in a way that's favorable to the West. It's going to be far more West. It's going to be far more West. It's going to be far more complicated than Miriam Medson is rich complicated than Miriam Medson is rich complicated than Miriam Medson is rich and she gives a lot of money. Like it and she gives a lot of money. Like it and she gives a lot of money. Like it just isn't going to be that basic [ __ ] just isn't going to be that basic [ __ ] just isn't going to be that basic [ __ ] >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> I found the context for the >> I found the context for the >> I found the context for the disproportionate response thing you were disproportionate response thing you were disproportionate response thing you were talking about cuz it's called the Deia talking about cuz it's called the Deia talking about cuz it's called the Deia Doctrine and it was um from the 2006 Doctrine and it was um from the 2006 Doctrine and it was um from the 2006 Lebanon war. They basically took out an Lebanon war. They basically took out an Lebanon war. They basically took out an entire neighborhood of Deia in Barut and entire neighborhood of Deia in Barut and entire neighborhood of Deia in Barut and um they basically said, "Oh, all of um they basically said, "Oh, all of um they basically said, "Oh, all of Hzbollah's here." So they used that Hzbollah's here." So they used that Hzbollah's here." So they used that doctrine. And then in 2008, he went on doctrine. And then in 2008, he went on doctrine. And then in 2008, he went on the record, the IDF chief of staff to the record, the IDF chief of staff to the record, the IDF chief of staff to say, "We will apply disproportionate say, "We will apply disproportionate say, "We will apply disproportionate force and cause great damage and force and cause great damage and force and cause great damage and destruction to villages from which destruction to villages from which destruction to villages from which Israel were fired upon."

I I god, this this gets so nested, Drew. I I have never believed more than I believe have never believed more than I believe have never believed more than I believe today that culture just controls today that culture just controls today that culture just controls everything. Culture is a very shorthand everything. Culture is a very shorthand everything.

Uh, Japan had as a very fascinating um, Japan had as a very fascinating um, Japan had as a very fascinating um, honor shame culture hierarchical honor shame culture hierarchical honor shame culture hierarchical I'm going to do one more nest. You may I'm going to do one more nest. You may I'm going to do one more nest. You may have to help me get back out of this. have to help me get back out of this. have to help me get back out of this. Part of the reason that Europe conquered Part of the reason that Europe conquered Part of the reason that Europe conquered the world and Africa did not is that the world and Africa did not is that the world and Africa did not is that cows are all about hierarchy. And so you cows are all about hierarchy. And so you cows are all about hierarchy. And so you can come into the picture and be like, can come into the picture and be like, can come into the picture and be like, I'm the king cow now. And so all the I'm the king cow now. And so all the I'm the king cow now. And so all the cows will just do what you say because cows will just do what you say because cows will just do what you say because you've established yourself as a leader. you've established yourself as a leader. you've established yourself as a leader. So that's baked into their DNA is to be So that's baked into their DNA is to be So that's baked into their DNA is to be submissive to whoever the boss is. submissive to whoever the boss is. submissive to whoever the boss is. Zebras don't play that game. Zebras don't play that game. Zebras don't play that game. >> Horses do. So if you can exert your will >> Horses do. So if you can exert your will >> Horses do. So if you can exert your will on a horse, they'll fall in line. on a horse, they'll fall in line. on a horse, they'll fall in line. They'll do what you tell them. A zebra They'll do what you tell them. A zebra They'll do what you tell them. A zebra is going to bite you, [ __ ] you, kick is going to bite you, [ __ ] you, kick is going to bite you, [ __ ] you, kick you, literally doesn't care. You cannot you, literally doesn't care. You cannot you, literally doesn't care. You cannot um tame them. You can't. And so if you um tame them. You can't. And so if you um tame them. You can't. And so if you are on a continent where you can tame a are on a continent where you can tame a are on a continent where you can tame a horse and now you can kill all the other horse and now you can kill all the other horse and now you can kill all the other tribes that don't know how to ride a tribes that don't know how to ride a tribes that don't know how to ride a horse, you win. You have a superior horse, you win. You have a superior horse, you win. You have a superior technology. If you have a zebra that technology. If you have a zebra that technology. If you have a zebra that bites you, kicks you off, tells you to bites you, kicks you off, tells you to bites you, kicks you off, tells you to just [ __ ] right off, then you can't.

And so you're going to get beat by the so you're going to get beat by the so you're going to get beat by the culture that has the horses. So this culture that has the horses. So this culture that has the horses. So this this is now what you're up against. So, this is now what you're up against. So, this is now what you're up against. So, we nuke the [ __ ] out of Japan, but they we nuke the [ __ ] out of Japan, but they we nuke the [ __ ] out of Japan, but they happen to be a culture that's like, "Oh, happen to be a culture that's like, "Oh, happen to be a culture that's like, "Oh, we totally get in line with um the we totally get in line with um the we totally get in line with um the hierarchy."

And so, what the US did was they co-opted the um emperor and they they co-opted the um emperor and they they co-opted the um emperor and they said, "Emperor, tell them to do this." said, "Emperor, tell them to do this." said, "Emperor, tell them to do this." And then [ __ ] Japan just did it. Now, And then [ __ ] Japan just did it. Now, And then [ __ ] Japan just did it. Now, you try to do that to a hurting culture you try to do that to a hurting culture you try to do that to a hurting culture that realizes um if I allow you to come that realizes um if I allow you to come that realizes um if I allow you to come kill my sheep, I'm [ __ ] So, I'm going kill my sheep, I'm [ __ ] So, I'm going kill my sheep, I'm [ __ ] So, I'm going to disproportionate response.

That's the wild part. But the left. That's the wild part. But the left. That's the wild part. But people are offering I think legitimate people are offering I think legitimate people are offering I think legitimate criticism which is that the right did criticism which is that the right did criticism which is that the right did nothing to stop immigration. So you had nothing to stop immigration. So you had nothing to stop immigration. So you had people vote for Brexit. people vote for Brexit. people vote for Brexit. >> They exit the European Union because >> They exit the European Union because >> They exit the European Union because they didn't want to be beholden to their they didn't want to be beholden to their they didn't want to be beholden to their laws anymore and they still let a ton of laws anymore and they still let a ton of laws anymore and they still let a ton of immigrants into the country. I think it immigrants into the country. I think it immigrants into the country. I think it actually went up when conservatives were actually went up when conservatives were actually went up when conservatives were in power and actually went down under in power and actually went down under in power and actually went down under Kira Starharma. So it's like this is one Kira Starharma. So it's like this is one Kira Starharma. So it's like this is one of those where it's like kids if you of those where it's like kids if you of those where it's like kids if you don't get it together and confront why don't get it together and confront why don't get it together and confront why they're bringing in migrants. So they're bringing in migrants. So they're bringing in migrants. So everybody hears the story about why the everybody hears the story about why the everybody hears the story about why the people on the left want to bring in people on the left want to bring in people on the left want to bring in migrants, but people don't hear the migrants, but people don't hear the migrants, but people don't hear the story about why the people on the right story about why the people on the right story about why the people on the right want to bring in migrants. Everybody is want to bring in migrants. Everybody is want to bring in migrants. Everybody is trying to deal with the fact that birth trying to deal with the fact that birth trying to deal with the fact that birth rates have been declining for a very rates have been declining for a very rates have been declining for a very long time. And if you have fewer long time. And if you have fewer long time. And if you have fewer workers, then the workers start getting workers, then the workers start getting workers, then the workers start getting powerful and they can negotiate for powerful and they can negotiate for powerful and they can negotiate for higher wages. And all of a sudden, you higher wages. And all of a sudden, you higher wages. And all of a sudden, you realize that your economy isn't growing realize that your economy isn't growing realize that your economy isn't growing because you regulate things to [ __ ] because you regulate things to [ __ ] because you regulate things to [ __ ] death. And so it's like, well, this is a death. And so it's like, well, this is a death. And so it's like, well, this is a lot easier to import cheap labor, lot easier to import cheap labor, lot easier to import cheap labor, especially when you have a left-leaning especially when you have a left-leaning especially when you have a left-leaning personality and you're like, well, we personality and you're like, well, we personality and you're like, well, we raped the world for 200 years, so we raped the world for 200 years, so we raped the world for 200 years, so we should now let the world literally come should now let the world literally come should now let the world literally come and rape us. That is the brutal reality. and rape us. That is the brutal reality. and rape us. That is the brutal reality. The brutal reality what you see playing The brutal reality what you see playing The brutal reality what you see playing out. And because you have that dual out. And because you have that dual out. And because you have that dual need, right? All eyes on Japan, please. need, right? All eyes on Japan, please. need, right? All eyes on Japan, please. because you have that dual need, you're because you have that dual need, you're because you have that dual need, you're going to see neither the right nor the going to see neither the right nor the going to see neither the right nor the left get serious about booting people left get serious about booting people left get serious about booting people out. Just real talk. Um, Lith in the out. Just real talk. Um, Lith in the out. Just real talk. Um, Lith in the chat kind of nailed it for me. I think chat kind of nailed it for me. I think chat kind of nailed it for me. I think UK naturally is more left. So, even UK naturally is more left. So, even UK naturally is more left. So, even their conservative party, I would say we their conservative party, I would say we their conservative party, I would say we would call like American moderate. I would call like American moderate. I would call like American moderate. I don't think they have like a I guess don't think they have like a I guess don't think they have like a I guess Rupert Low and the Reform Party is like Rupert Low and the Reform Party is like Rupert Low and the Reform Party is like the real right. the real right. the real right. >> Restore Britain is right. >> Restore Britain is right. >> Restore Britain is right. >> Yeah. like may maybe that's where that's >> Yeah. like may maybe that's where that's >> Yeah. like may maybe that's where that's where it is. But under UK labor like the where it is. But under UK labor like the where it is. But under UK labor like the Labor party has to get control until Labor party has to get control until Labor party has to get control until their the next election. So it is going their the next election. So it is going their the next election. So it is going to be somebody from the same party. So to be somebody from the same party. So to be somebody from the same party. So the equivalent of if Trump resigned it the equivalent of if Trump resigned it the equivalent of if Trump resigned it would be another Republican person that would be another Republican person that would be another Republican person that will then take the mantle over. will then take the mantle over. will then take the mantle over. >> Yes. And maybe it would be far more >> Yes. And maybe it would be far more >> Yes. And maybe it would be far more noticeable because Trump really is a noticeable because Trump really is a noticeable because Trump really is a singular figure singular figure singular figure >> in England. Um Kier Dharma is not a >> in England. Um Kier Dharma is not a >> in England. Um Kier Dharma is not a Trumpian figure. he's not able to force Trumpian figure. he's not able to force Trumpian figure. he's not able to force his will on his party or people outside his will on his party or people outside his will on his party or people outside the party. Uh so the real question is the party. Uh so the real question is the party. Uh so the real question is the guy that everybody thinks is going the guy that everybody thinks is going the guy that everybody thinks is going to replace him is a guy named Burnham. to replace him is a guy named Burnham. to replace him is a guy named Burnham. And that's why he's announcing now And that's why he's announcing now And that's why he's announcing now because Burnham got elected. He had to because Burnham got elected. He had to because Burnham got elected. He had to be a member of parliament to be be a member of parliament to be be a member of parliament to be considered for um uh prime minister. And considered for um uh prime minister. And considered for um uh prime minister. And so they finally got him elected. So now so they finally got him elected. So now so they finally got him elected. So now he can be considered uh for prime he can be considered uh for prime he can be considered uh for prime minister. But this would be like what um minister. But this would be like what um minister. But this would be like what um AOC getting elected, stepping down so M AOC getting elected, stepping down so M AOC getting elected, stepping down so M Donnie could take our place. And yes, Donnie could take our place. And yes, Donnie could take our place. And yes, I'm well aware that he couldn't actually I'm well aware that he couldn't actually I'm well aware that he couldn't actually be an American president because he be an American president because he be an American president because he wasn't born here. But uh that's what wasn't born here. But uh that's what wasn't born here. But uh that's what it's like. It's a shift even farther it's like. It's a shift even farther it's like. It's a shift even farther left. left. left. >> Mhm. Um so we shall see. Like you said, >> Mhm. Um so we shall see. Like you said, >> Mhm. Um so we shall see. Like you said, they'll have it wrapped up by the summer they'll have it wrapped up by the summer they'll have it wrapped up by the summer recess. So that's like around the fall recess. So that's like around the fall recess. So that's like around the fall time for us. Um time for us. Um time for us. Um it it's weird though because I want to it it's weird though because I want to it it's weird though because I want to say this is their seventh prime say this is their seventh prime say this is their seventh prime minister. But like it seems like UK it minister. But like it seems like UK it minister. But like it seems like UK it hasn't really been yeah like locked in hasn't really been yeah like locked in hasn't really been yeah like locked in the last couple years and that's I want the last couple years and that's I want the last couple years and that's I want to say from like 2019 or something like to say from like 2019 or something like to say from like 2019 or something like that. So it's not a long time or 2019 uh that. So it's not a long time or 2019 uh that. So it's not a long time or 2019 uh yeah 2019. Um in general though is this yeah 2019. Um in general though is this yeah 2019. Um in general though is this more an indication of how he performed more an indication of how he performed more an indication of how he performed as a prime minister? Is this more of an as a prime minister? Is this more of an as a prime minister? Is this more of an indictment of the west is still indictment of the west is still indictment of the west is still distracted and people don't like the distracted and people don't like the distracted and people don't like the change that it's going through? What do change that it's going through? What do change that it's going through? What do you think is the thing that like made you think is the thing that like made you think is the thing that like made him actually like leave? him actually like leave? him actually like leave? >> It's populism. Mhm. >> It's populism. Mhm. >> It's populism. Mhm. >> So you have economics. Well, sort of. So >> So you have economics. Well, sort of. So >> So you have economics. Well, sort of. So what I'm talking about, the specific what I'm talking about, the specific what I'm talking about, the specific element of populism I'm talking about element of populism I'm talking about element of populism I'm talking about now is you have economics is the problem now is you have economics is the problem now is you have economics is the problem >> and you're bringing in a politician to >> and you're bringing in a politician to >> and you're bringing in a politician to solve an economic problem with every solve an economic problem with every solve an economic problem with every other tool at his disposal and so it other tool at his disposal and so it other tool at his disposal and so it fixes nothing. And so he can read a fixes nothing. And so he can read a fixes nothing. And so he can read a laundry list of, oh, I've done all these laundry list of, oh, I've done all these laundry list of, oh, I've done all these things and everybody's like, but I still things and everybody's like, but I still things and everybody's like, but I still have a problem. And that problem, have a problem. And that problem, have a problem. And that problem, depending on whether you're on the right depending on whether you're on the right depending on whether you're on the right or the left, is going to be different. or the left, is going to be different. or the left, is going to be different. But it it has an underlying economic But it it has an underlying economic But it it has an underlying economic issue. And so unfortunately, what you issue. And so unfortunately, what you issue. And so unfortunately, what you need right now is the country to believe need right now is the country to believe need right now is the country to believe in a Margaret Thatcher type character, in a Margaret Thatcher type character, in a Margaret Thatcher type character, but they're not going to. They'll be but they're not going to. They'll be but they're not going to. They'll be super divided. And this is why austerity super divided. And this is why austerity super divided. And this is why austerity hasn't helped and why he came in because hasn't helped and why he came in because hasn't helped and why he came in because you're not pushing it far enough. And so you're not pushing it far enough. And so you're not pushing it far enough. And so he came in and um he came in and um he came in and um lifted the austerity measures, which is lifted the austerity measures, which is lifted the austerity measures, which is the exact wrong thing to do when you the exact wrong thing to do when you the exact wrong thing to do when you have an economy that's in trouble. He's have an economy that's in trouble. He's have an economy that's in trouble. He's trying to socialize things even farther. trying to socialize things even farther. trying to socialize things even farther. And so what what the UK needs to do is And so what what the UK needs to do is And so what what the UK needs to do is close your borders. close your borders. close your borders. >> Um you need to deregulate a lot. You >> Um you need to deregulate a lot. You >> Um you need to deregulate a lot. You need to focus on innovation and you need need to focus on innovation and you need need to focus on innovation and you need to grow your [ __ ] economy. So you're to grow your [ __ ] economy. So you're to grow your [ __ ] economy. So you're going to empower your workers so that going to empower your workers so that going to empower your workers so that their real wages are going up. you're their real wages are going up. you're their real wages are going up. you're going to um deregulate so that fewer going to um deregulate so that fewer going to um deregulate so that fewer things are run by the government and let things are run by the government and let things are run by the government and let the free market start to run, which will the free market start to run, which will the free market start to run, which will increase your GDP, which will increase increase your GDP, which will increase increase your GDP, which will increase your tax base, which will also allow you your tax base, which will also allow you your tax base, which will also allow you to deal with the fact that wages are to deal with the fact that wages are to deal with the fact that wages are going to get more expensive because going to get more expensive because going to get more expensive because there's less immigrants coming into the there's less immigrants coming into the there's less immigrants coming into the country to undercut everybody. So, um country to undercut everybody. So, um country to undercut everybody. So, um that's what they need to do. And then that's what they need to do. And then that's what they need to do. And then also, they've really for long-term also, they've really for long-term also, they've really for long-term health, they've really got to get their health, they've really got to get their health, they've really got to get their birth rates up. Um, but they're not birth rates up. Um, but they're not birth rates up. Um, but they're not going to do that. And so whether you go going to do that. And so whether you go going to do that. And so whether you go right or left, I mean, maybe if you go right or left, I mean, maybe if you go right or left, I mean, maybe if you go all the way to restore and they at least all the way to restore and they at least all the way to restore and they at least stabilize the culture so that you're not stabilize the culture so that you're not stabilize the culture so that you're not swinging left and right so hard. Um, swinging left and right so hard. Um, swinging left and right so hard. Um, that may help. I don't know enough about that may help. I don't know enough about that may help. I don't know enough about Rupert Low, though, to know if he's Rupert Low, though, to know if he's Rupert Low, though, to know if he's really going to go unhinge psycho. Um really going to go unhinge psycho. Um really going to go unhinge psycho. Um because anybody who's at the fringes because anybody who's at the fringes because anybody who's at the fringes like the very thing that gives him the like the very thing that gives him the like the very thing that gives him the backbone to say we're going to deport backbone to say we're going to deport backbone to say we're going to deport all these [ __ ] uh can also make all these [ __ ] uh can also make all these [ __ ] uh can also make them go Xinping. And so we've got and them go Xinping. And so we've got and them go Xinping. And so we've got and we'll see if we have time for it, but um we'll see if we have time for it, but um we'll see if we have time for it, but um Xiinping is it's hard to say if he's Xiinping is it's hard to say if he's Xiinping is it's hard to say if he's passing laws, edicts, like whatever the passing laws, edicts, like whatever the passing laws, edicts, like whatever the right word is when you have a pallet right word is when you have a pallet right word is when you have a pallet bureau and they just do things by bureau and they just do things by bureau and they just do things by decree, but he's starting to now tighten decree, but he's starting to now tighten decree, but he's starting to now tighten his fist over China.

So with that going on, u it it does seem So with that going on, u it it does seem So with that going on, u it it does seem like in different regions everybody's like in different regions everybody's like in different regions everybody's kind of tightening it up and now kind of tightening it up and now kind of tightening it up and now bringing it back to China with this bringing it back to China with this bringing it back to China with this national unity law. China's already a national unity law. China's already a national unity law. China's already a dictatorship. They don't have to worry dictatorship. They don't have to worry dictatorship.

So let's take them one at a >> All right. So let's take them one at a >> All right. So let's take them one at a time. The most interesting story in time. The most interesting story in time. The most interesting story in South America is a question. I don't South America is a question. I don't South America is a question. I don't think anybody's answered it. It is think anybody's answered it. It is think anybody's answered it. It is literally just a question right now. But literally just a question right now. But literally just a question right now. But the question is, did US aid as an NGO the question is, did US aid as an NGO the question is, did US aid as an NGO >> influence all of the left-leaning things >> influence all of the left-leaning things >> influence all of the left-leaning things that were happening in South America? that were happening in South America? that were happening in South America? And the reason that all of a sudden we And the reason that all of a sudden we And the reason that all of a sudden we have so many countries swinging to the have so many countries swinging to the have so many countries swinging to the right is because US aid is no longer right is because US aid is no longer right is because US aid is no longer funneling money into those um funneling money into those um funneling money into those um organizations. That to me is a very organizations. That to me is a very organizations. That to me is a very critical question. So I have a growing critical question. So I have a growing critical question. So I have a growing belief that NOS's are just activist belief that NOS's are just activist belief that NOS's are just activist groups that throw money around in the groups that throw money around in the groups that throw money around in the same way that anybody who's up in arms same way that anybody who's up in arms same way that anybody who's up in arms about um Apac should be up in arms about about um Apac should be up in arms about about um Apac should be up in arms about US aid. US aid. US aid. >> So um that's where I'm like we we don't >> So um that's where I'm like we we don't >> So um that's where I'm like we we don't have a clear enough picture about the have a clear enough picture about the have a clear enough picture about the NOS's yet, but more and more stuff is NOS's yet, but more and more stuff is NOS's yet, but more and more stuff is coming out. So that's it's very coming out. So that's it's very coming out. So that's it's very open-ended and I don't think we have an open-ended and I don't think we have an open-ended and I don't think we have an answer, but it is that is a very very answer, but it is that is a very very answer, but it is that is a very very interesting question. Now, it may just interesting question. Now, it may just interesting question. Now, it may just be that people have put up with this be that people have put up with this be that people have put up with this [ __ ] long enough. They see a [ __ ] long enough. They see a [ __ ] long enough. They see a Trumpian figure, they get excited, they Trumpian figure, they get excited, they Trumpian figure, they get excited, they see Blly, they see MLE, and they're just see Blly, they see MLE, and they're just see Blly, they see MLE, and they're just like, "Oh shit." Like, these guys, one, like, "Oh shit." Like, these guys, one, like, "Oh shit." Like, these guys, one, they're being supported by the US, which they're being supported by the US, which they're being supported by the US, which is a very good thing for us in South is a very good thing for us in South is a very good thing for us in South America. And then two, like look at what America. And then two, like look at what America. And then two, like look at what Blly has done. Look at the surplus that Blly has done. Look at the surplus that Blly has done. Look at the surplus that uh MLE has done. MLE, everyone said uh MLE has done. MLE, everyone said uh MLE has done. MLE, everyone said there's no way he's going to come in. there's no way he's going to come in. there's no way he's going to come in. He's going to ruin everything, but he He's going to ruin everything, but he He's going to ruin everything, but he didn't. And he's actually turning the didn't. And he's actually turning the didn't. And he's actually turning the country around. It's very, very country around. It's very, very country around. It's very, very exciting. So now it's like is it just exciting. So now it's like is it just exciting. So now it's like is it just that or is it both? It's probably both. that or is it both? It's probably both. that or is it both? It's probably both. We'll see. But that's the part that I We'll see. But that's the part that I We'll see. But that's the part that I find really interesting about what's find really interesting about what's find really interesting about what's happening in South America right now. happening in South America right now. happening in South America right now. And by the way, I would like to put And by the way, I would like to put And by the way, I would like to put another thing on the table, which is the another thing on the table, which is the another thing on the table, which is the um the president of Cuba. I had to fact um the president of Cuba. I had to fact um the president of Cuba. I had to fact check. I was like, there's no way he check. I was like, there's no way he check. I was like, there's no way he actually said this. But the president of actually said this. But the president of actually said this. But the president of Cuba went on and said one of the core Cuba went on and said one of the core Cuba went on and said one of the core tenants of communism does not work in tenants of communism does not work in tenants of communism does not work in practice. And so it's like, hey, really practice. And so it's like, hey, really practice. And so it's like, hey, really cool idea. It sounds awesome. I get why cool idea. It sounds awesome. I get why cool idea. It sounds awesome. I get why people like the idea of communism. It people like the idea of communism. It people like the idea of communism. It lets you completely indulge in all of lets you completely indulge in all of lets you completely indulge in all of your resentments. You can hate the guy your resentments.

Humans are very resentful creatures. And Humans are very resentful creatures. And Humans are very resentful creatures. And so you've got that and it leans way into so you've got that and it leans way into so you've got that and it leans way into that. And it also cloaks it in. Treat that. And it also cloaks it in. Treat that. And it also cloaks it in. Treat the country as you would treat your the country as you would treat your the country as you would treat your family. And because you really do have family. And because you really do have family. And because you really do have that impulse for your family, like, yo, that impulse for your family, like, yo, that impulse for your family, like, yo, I want like it is a point of pride for I want like it is a point of pride for I want like it is a point of pride for me that if ever Lisa and I like there's me that if ever Lisa and I like there's me that if ever Lisa and I like there's only one thing and one of us is going to only one thing and one of us is going to only one thing and one of us is going to get that thing, I'm like, not 90% of the get that thing, I'm like, not 90% of the get that thing, I'm like, not 90% of the time. 100% of the time that goes to my time. 100% of the time that goes to my time. 100% of the time that goes to my wife. That makes me feel good about who wife. That makes me feel good about who wife. That makes me feel good about who I am. And so it's like, cool. Yes. Like I am. And so it's like, cool. Yes. Like I am. And so it's like, cool. Yes. Like I get it. That doesn't scale. It is also I get it. That doesn't scale. It is also I get it. That doesn't scale. It is also in the human mind. [ __ ] those other in the human mind. [ __ ] those other in the human mind. [ __ ] those other kids. So you get into like this complete kids. So you get into like this complete kids. So you get into like this complete derangement. Remember the iron law of derangement. Remember the iron law of derangement. Remember the iron law of oligarchy. So you build something around oligarchy. So you build something around oligarchy. So you build something around um a thing of resentment. In fact, will um a thing of resentment.

It was >> um we were supposed to be talking about >> um we were supposed to be talking about >> um we were supposed to be talking about China and uh but that is a perfect segue China and uh but that is a perfect segue China and uh but that is a perfect segue to the uh Freedberg Rocon exchange to the uh Freedberg Rocon exchange to the uh Freedberg Rocon exchange that's been happening on X. Um for those that's been happening on X. Um for those that's been happening on X. Um for those who haven't been following the journey, who haven't been following the journey, who haven't been following the journey, we're not ready yet. For those who we're not ready yet. For those who we're not ready yet. For those who haven't been following the journey, it haven't been following the journey, it haven't been following the journey, it started off with Freeberg um giving his started off with Freeberg um giving his started off with Freeberg um giving his opinion on the economy. Ro kind of opinion on the economy. Ro kind of opinion on the economy. Ro kind of retweeted it and then after that way retweeted it and then after that way retweeted it and then after that way they kept kind of going back and forth they kept kind of going back and forth they kept kind of going back and forth on it. Um on it. Um on it. Um >> yeah and I can give you the details. So >> yeah and I can give you the details. So >> yeah and I can give you the details. So basically uh you've got Freeberg trying basically uh you've got Freeberg trying basically uh you've got Freeberg trying to get everybody to distinguish between to get everybody to distinguish between to get everybody to distinguish between makers and takers. So there are people makers and takers. So there are people makers and takers. So there are people in the world that make things and then in the world that make things and then in the world that make things and then there are they create value. So there are they create value. So there are they create value. So obviously this is still largely an echo obviously this is still largely an echo obviously this is still largely an echo of the conversation around Elon Musk. of the conversation around Elon Musk. of the conversation around Elon Musk. Roana is just beating the drum literally Roana is just beating the drum literally Roana is just beating the drum literally going on every show that he can saying going on every show that he can saying going on every show that he can saying hey we can afford this amazing thing. we hey we can afford this amazing thing. we hey we can afford this amazing thing. we can take care of all kids. Uh we just can take care of all kids. Uh we just can take care of all kids. Uh we just have to tax Elon Musk. Literally just have to tax Elon Musk. Literally just have to tax Elon Musk. Literally just one guy. We just tax him and it would one guy. We just tax him and it would one guy. We just tax him and it would take care of this. This other policy, we take care of this. This other policy, we take care of this. This other policy, we could just tax Elon Musk. It will take could just tax Elon Musk. It will take could just tax Elon Musk. It will take care of this. So you've got Friedberg care of this. So you've got Friedberg care of this. So you've got Friedberg trying to get everybody to understand trying to get everybody to understand trying to get everybody to understand this is all [ __ ] This is fake this is all [ __ ] This is fake this is all [ __ ] This is fake framing. The world is not even divided framing. The world is not even divided framing. The world is not even divided into rich and poor. It's divided into into rich and poor.

And then you make their money go up. And then you make their money go up. And then you have people that just want to tax have people that just want to tax have people that just want to tax everything, that don't make everything, everything, that don't make everything, everything, that don't make everything, don't make anything. These are the don't make anything. These are the don't make anything. These are the politicians, people like Ro Kana. And so politicians, people like Ro Kana. And so politicians, people like Ro Kana. And so that is when Ro was clapping back and that is when Ro was clapping back and that is when Ro was clapping back and being like, listen, there's no way being like, listen, there's no way being like, listen, there's no way Freeberg, this wouldn't even pass like a Freeberg, this wouldn't even pass like a Freeberg, this wouldn't even pass like a freshman class in a place like the freshman class in a place like the freshman class in a place like the University of Chicago, which is full University of Chicago, which is full University of Chicago, which is full [ __ ] [ __ ] from Roana.

But, Impact Theory uh doing Battle on X. But, Impact Theory uh doing Battle on X. But, um Friedberg clapped back with a really um Friedberg clapped back with a really um Friedberg clapped back with a really like cool zinger, which was like, "All like cool zinger, which was like, "All like cool zinger, which was like, "All right, man. If it would work so much to right, man. If it would work so much to right, man.

Uh, so yeah, this is where it's like also one yeah, this is where it's like also one yeah, this is where it's like also one of the things that Ro said that of the things that Ro said that of the things that Ro said that absolutely drives me [ __ ] crazy when absolutely drives me [ __ ] crazy when absolutely drives me [ __ ] crazy when they talk about taxing the um someone they talk about taxing the um someone they talk about taxing the um someone like uh um Elon Musk and they say we like uh um Elon Musk and they say we like uh um Elon Musk and they say we could take care of children's food, could take care of children's food, could take care of children's food, education, whatever. They never say for education, whatever. They never say for education, whatever. They never say for a year. a year. a year. >> So they just go this is a one-time tax, >> So they just go this is a one-time tax, >> So they just go this is a one-time tax, Drew. What what's the problem? We could Drew. What what's the problem? We could Drew. What what's the problem? We could feed kids, clothe kids, educate kids feed kids, clothe kids, educate kids feed kids, clothe kids, educate kids for, you know, they they never say for a for, you know, they they never say for a for, you know, they they never say for a year. We could we could do it. Then it's year. We could we could do it. Then it's year. We could we could do it. Then it's like, uh, you say it's a onetime tax, like, uh, you say it's a onetime tax, like, uh, you say it's a onetime tax, but that will only pay for one year. You but that will only pay for one year. You but that will only pay for one year. You 100% want this to be a policy that lasts 100% want this to be a policy that lasts 100% want this to be a policy that lasts forever. And this is exactly why for forever. And this is exactly why for forever. And this is exactly why for every new dollar in tax revenue that we every new dollar in tax revenue that we every new dollar in tax revenue that we bring in, we spend a $158. bring in, we spend a $158. bring in, we spend a $158. This is literal madness. We do not have This is literal madness. We do not have This is literal madness. We do not have a revenue problem. We have a spending a revenue problem. We have a spending a revenue problem. We have a spending problem. And if if you can get by a problem. And if if you can get by a problem. And if if you can get by a freshman class in uh the University of freshman class in uh the University of freshman class in uh the University of Chicago or anywhere else by saying we Chicago or anywhere else by saying we Chicago or anywhere else by saying we can do a one-time tax and then put a can do a one-time tax and then put a can do a one-time tax and then put a policy in place as if that's not going policy in place as if that's not going policy in place as if that's not going to create a problem in year two, you to create a problem in year two, you to create a problem in year two, you better fail otherwise that [ __ ] better fail otherwise that [ __ ] better fail otherwise that [ __ ] university is not worth uh the ground university is not worth uh the ground university is not worth uh the ground that it's on. Like that would be the that it's on. Like that would be the that it's on. Like that would be the most insane [ __ ] ever. And so now I'm most insane [ __ ] ever. And so now I'm most insane [ __ ] ever. And so now I'm back left asking a very sincere back left asking a very sincere back left asking a very sincere question. Are these people dumb or are question. Are these people dumb or are question. Are these people dumb or are they evil? It's one of the two. They are they evil? It's one of the two. They are they evil? It's one of the two. They are either dumb or they know exactly what either dumb or they know exactly what either dumb or they know exactly what they're doing and they are pushing this they're doing and they are pushing this they're doing and they are pushing this [ __ ] agenda. And either way, that is [ __ ] agenda. And either way, that is [ __ ] agenda. And either way, that is bad news for being in office if you bad news for being in office if you bad news for being in office if you actually want to solve the problem. actually want to solve the problem. actually want to solve the problem. Because here's the thing. I think Ro, Because here's the thing. I think Ro, Because here's the thing. I think Ro, unfortunately, is smart. And I think unfortunately, is smart. And I think unfortunately, is smart. And I think he's intentionally conflating things. he's intentionally conflating things. he's intentionally conflating things. And so, he'll say some true things.

The American dream is dead. He is The American dream is dead. He is The American dream is dead. He is correct. Now the question becomes, if correct. Now the question becomes, if correct. Now the question becomes, if you roll up on a house and there's a you roll up on a house and there's a you roll up on a house and there's a dead body on the floor and there's dead body on the floor and there's dead body on the floor and there's [ __ ] blood everywhere, you don't just [ __ ] blood everywhere, you don't just [ __ ] blood everywhere, you don't just go, "Ah, that person's dead and let me go, "Ah, that person's dead and let me go, "Ah, that person's dead and let me tell you who I want to be the killer." tell you who I want to be the killer." tell you who I want to be the killer." You actually have to do the forensic You actually have to do the forensic You actually have to do the forensic analysis and figure out who killed the analysis and figure out who killed the analysis and figure out who killed the American dream. The American dream is American dream. The American dream is American dream. The American dream is dead. There is like [ __ ] dead. There is like [ __ ] dead. There is like [ __ ] slaughterhouse blood everywhere. And the slaughterhouse blood everywhere. And the slaughterhouse blood everywhere. And the answer is very simple. Politicians and answer is very simple. Politicians and answer is very simple. Politicians and central bankers killed the American central bankers killed the American central bankers killed the American dream. That's it. Nice and [ __ ] dream. That's it. Nice and [ __ ] dream. That's it. Nice and [ __ ] simple. Nowhere to hide. I don't need to simple. Nowhere to hide. I don't need to simple. Nowhere to hide. I don't need to caveat those two classes of people caveat those two classes of people caveat those two classes of people killed the American dream dead and they killed the American dream dead and they killed the American dream dead and they did it in a mechanistic way which means did it in a mechanistic way which means did it in a mechanistic way which means that we can just follow the cause and that we can just follow the cause and that we can just follow the cause and effect and the mechanistic way is the effect and the mechanistic way is the effect and the mechanistic way is the only thing that people understand if you only thing that people understand if you only thing that people understand if you want them to actually save their wealth want them to actually save their wealth want them to actually save their wealth so they can pass it on to their kids. so they can pass it on to their kids. so they can pass it on to their kids. They understand saving money meaning I They understand saving money meaning I They understand saving money meaning I spend less than I make and they spend less than I make and they spend less than I make and they understand buying a house.

By the way, I'm not sure if it's more than Nvidia. That would be the it's more than Nvidia. That would be the it's more than Nvidia. That would be the only question mark that I would have, only question mark that I would have, only question mark that I would have, but it might be. It's been insane. So, but it might be. It's been insane. So, but it might be. It's been insane. So, politicians and makers have created that politicians and makers have created that politicians and makers have created that problem. So, politicians regulate problem. So, politicians regulate problem. So, politicians regulate everything to high heaven and they everything to high heaven and they everything to high heaven and they deficit spend, which then forces the Fed deficit spend, which then forces the Fed deficit spend, which then forces the Fed to print money. When you print money, to print money. When you print money, to print money. When you print money, you devalue the dollar. And smart money you devalue the dollar. And smart money you devalue the dollar. And smart money does what? They go into assets to hide does what? They go into assets to hide does what? They go into assets to hide from the hidden but very intentional tax from the hidden but very intentional tax from the hidden but very intentional tax of inflation. And so now the rich get of inflation. And so now the rich get of inflation. And so now the rich get richer because you push them into this richer because you push them into this richer because you push them into this wealth creation vehicle known as the wealth creation vehicle known as the wealth creation vehicle known as the markets and you force so many of them in markets and you force so many of them in markets and you force so many of them in there because they have to beat there because they have to beat there because they have to beat inflation that already that bumps up the inflation that already that bumps up the inflation that already that bumps up the value. But then you devalue the dollar, value. But then you devalue the dollar, value. But then you devalue the dollar, which then makes it appear that their which then makes it appear that their which then makes it appear that their wealth is going up even more than it is. wealth is going up even more than it is. wealth is going up even more than it is. So, and then you cry foul. [ __ ] you. You So, and then you cry foul. [ __ ] you. You So, and then you cry foul. [ __ ] you. You created the problem. It's very easy to created the problem. It's very easy to created the problem. It's very easy to see. We can talk about it openly all see. We can talk about it openly all see. We can talk about it openly all day. You can throw any caveat that you day. You can throw any caveat that you day. You can throw any caveat that you would like to talk about and let's just would like to talk about and let's just would like to talk about and let's just talk about it head on. So, the American talk about it head on. So, the American talk about it head on. So, the American dream is dead. You [ __ ] killed it. dream is dead. You [ __ ] killed it. dream is dead.

So, we have made school more expensive, but we have not improved the expensive, but we have not improved the expensive, but we have not improved the outcomes. You've got to trust the outcomes. You've got to trust the outcomes. You've got to trust the parents to actually think through this parents to actually think through this parents to actually think through this problem and say, "We have this many problem and say, "We have this many problem and say, "We have this many dollars to give to parents for each of dollars to give to parents for each of dollars to give to parents for each of their kids that are in school." Cool. their kids that are in school." Cool. their kids that are in school." Cool. Let them do what they will with those Let them do what they will with those Let them do what they will with those dollars. Then you're going to find out dollars. Then you're going to find out dollars. Then you're going to find out real fast what schools are actually real fast what schools are actually real fast what schools are actually competitive and which are not. So, yeah, competitive and which are not. So, yeah, competitive and which are not. So, yeah, >> you kind of say the same thing about our >> you kind of say the same thing about our >> you kind of say the same thing about our military, too. We threw all that money military, too. We threw all that money military, too. We threw all that money at our military and yet Iran is handing at our military and yet Iran is handing at our military and yet Iran is handing us uh a problem us uh a problem us uh a problem >> sort of. So I I know you well enough to >> sort of. So I I know you well enough to >> sort of. So I I know you well enough to know uh that that is your sort of know uh that that is your sort of know uh that that is your sort of version of sarcasm. So what I will say version of sarcasm.

You're making a category error. Unfortunately, making a category error. Unfortunately, making a category error. Unfortunately, you can't have competition in the you can't have competition in the you can't have competition in the military. So we can't like arm a bunch military. So we can't like arm a bunch military. So we can't like arm a bunch of states and be like, "All right, you of states and be like, "All right, you of states and be like, "All right, you guys decide which one of you guys is guys decide which one of you guys is guys decide which one of you guys is going to go fight Iran."

So this is not me that that you can go. So this is not me that that you can go. So this is not me trying to be cheap and say you know the trying to be cheap and say you know the trying to be cheap and say you know the typical branding of anarchy means chaos. typical branding of anarchy means chaos. typical branding of anarchy means chaos. It doesn't. But it does mean that every It doesn't. But it does mean that every It doesn't. But it does mean that every exchange has to be voluntary. There is exchange has to be voluntary. There is exchange has to be voluntary. There is no tax. there is no military and it's no tax. there is no military and it's no tax. there is no military and it's like that to me is stupid. So you need like that to me is stupid. So you need like that to me is stupid. So you need to have your country needs to have a to have your country needs to have a to have your country needs to have a military. There are going to be some military. There are going to be some military. There are going to be some guard rails that you need to put on guard rails that you need to put on guard rails that you need to put on because the elite just as they will do because the elite just as they will do because the elite just as they will do all the crazy sexual [ __ ] they will also all the crazy sexual [ __ ] they will also all the crazy sexual [ __ ] they will also manipulate the financial world as they manipulate the financial world as they manipulate the financial world as they are doing right now today. And if you are doing right now today. And if you are doing right now today. And if you don't try to curb them, they will curb don't try to curb them, they will curb don't try to curb them, they will curb stomp you. So you do need some guard stomp you. So you do need some guard stomp you. So you do need some guard rails. But this is, and I'm going to use rails. But this is, and I'm going to use rails. But this is, and I'm going to use this analogy until I see people [ __ ] this analogy until I see people [ __ ] this analogy until I see people [ __ ] wearing it on t-shirts. This is just wearing it on t-shirts. This is just wearing it on t-shirts. This is just like food. So regulation is like food. like food. So regulation is like food. like food. So regulation is like food. If you have too little, you starve to If you have too little, you starve to If you have too little, you starve to death. If you have too much, you obesify death.

Shut up. get up, starve for at least a year, then as you starve for at least a year, then as you starve for at least a year, then as you start trimming back so you can actually start trimming back so you can actually start trimming back so you can actually stand up, then we can talk. But god stand up, then we can talk. But god stand up, then we can talk. But god damn, right now, hell no. damn, right now, hell no. damn, right now, hell no. All right. Um, let's go through some of All right. Um, let's go through some of All right. Um, let's go through some of Roana's exchanges because I think we Roana's exchanges because I think we Roana's exchanges because I think we need to beat this dead horse to death. need to beat this dead horse to death. need to beat this dead horse to death. Um, because I think that everybody says, Um, because I think that everybody says, Um, because I think that everybody says, "Well, but he does have a point because "Well, but he does have a point because "Well, but he does have a point because the math works, but to your point of the the math works, but to your point of the the math works, but to your point of the year thing, let's kind of run these year thing, let's kind of run these year thing, let's kind of run these thought experiments." So, this is him on thought experiments." So, this is him on thought experiments." So, this is him on Bill Maher talking about the student Bill Maher talking about the student Bill Maher talking about the student loan debt. I took out a lot of student loan debt. I took out a lot of student loan debt. I took out a lot of student loans. I've done well. They shouldn't loans. I've done well. They shouldn't loans. I've done well. They shouldn't forgive student loans for people like forgive student loans for people like forgive student loans for people like me. But if you're working class, you're me. But if you're working class, you're me. But if you're working class, you're first in your uh family to go to first in your uh family to go to first in your uh family to go to college, you have all this debt, and college, you have all this debt, and college, you have all this debt, and then you're paying off your debt until then you're paying off your debt until then you're paying off your debt until you're 50 or 60 and can't get a house. you're 50 or 60 and can't get a house. you're 50 or 60 and can't get a house. We can pay off that debt. And you know We can pay off that debt. And you know We can pay off that debt. And you know how we pay for it? how we pay for it? how we pay for it? >> So here here, oh man, does this make me >> So here here, oh man, does this make me >> So here here, oh man, does this make me mad. So okay, uh here's what's actually mad. So okay, uh here's what's actually mad. So okay, uh here's what's actually going on because people don't understand going on because people don't understand going on because people don't understand how these loans work and how we have how these loans work and how we have how these loans work and how we have found ourselves in this situation. found ourselves in this situation. found ourselves in this situation. Everybody is just super confused. Um the Everybody is just super confused. Um the Everybody is just super confused. Um the US government has done a very immoral US government has done a very immoral US government has done a very immoral thing and they have um put students in a thing and they have um put students in a thing and they have um put students in a situation where they can get themselves situation where they can get themselves situation where they can get themselves in an insane amount of debt and those in an insane amount of debt and those in an insane amount of debt and those people cannot declare bankruptcy. You people cannot declare bankruptcy. You people cannot declare bankruptcy. You cannot discharge student loan debt and cannot discharge student loan debt and cannot discharge student loan debt and then the government has guaranteed those then the government has guaranteed those then the government has guaranteed those loans. So now taxpayers are on the hook loans. So now taxpayers are on the hook loans. So now taxpayers are on the hook for the kids that end up going to for the kids that end up going to for the kids that end up going to college. That already is absolutely college. That already is absolutely college. That already is absolutely sinister because what you allow the sinister because what you allow the sinister because what you allow the colleges to do is just absolutely bloat colleges to do is just absolutely bloat colleges to do is just absolutely bloat their um staff with a bunch of um their um staff with a bunch of um their um staff with a bunch of um administrators that aren't providing a administrators that aren't providing a administrators that aren't providing a better education. Remember Xihinping better education. Remember Xihinping better education. Remember Xihinping just killed off a bunch of degrees you just killed off a bunch of degrees you just killed off a bunch of degrees you can get because he's like these are can get because he's like these are can get because he's like these are [ __ ] So these don't matter in the [ __ ] So these don't matter in the [ __ ] So these don't matter in the modern economy. So we've got people modern economy. So we've got people modern economy. So we've got people going to universities to get degrees going to universities to get degrees going to universities to get degrees that literally don't matter. You're not that literally don't matter. You're not that literally don't matter. You're not going to add value. This is why you going to add value. This is why you going to add value. This is why you remain in debt for so long because your remain in debt for so long because your remain in debt for so long because your job is not going to pay you enough for job is not going to pay you enough for job is not going to pay you enough for that investment. So this is like um that investment. So this is like um that investment. So this is like um everybody's an entrepreneur of their own everybody's an entrepreneur of their own everybody's an entrepreneur of their own life and they say to start my company, life and they say to start my company, life and they say to start my company, my life, I'm going to take on this debt my life, I'm going to take on this debt my life, I'm going to take on this debt in order to go get this degree so that I in order to go get this degree so that I in order to go get this degree so that I can build this company, my life, moving can build this company, my life, moving can build this company, my life, moving forward. And the government's like, forward. And the government's like, forward. And the government's like, "Yeah, cool. I'm going to back you." And "Yeah, cool. I'm going to back you." And "Yeah, cool. I'm going to back you." And so I'll guarantee it. So the banks will so I'll guarantee it. So the banks will so I'll guarantee it. So the banks will give you the loan and [snorts] then the give you the loan and [snorts] then the give you the loan and [snorts] then the schools are going to get their money schools are going to get their money schools are going to get their money whether you end up succeeding or not. whether you end up succeeding or not. whether you end up succeeding or not. And so the schools win and they just And so the schools win and they just And so the schools win and they just keep getting bigger and bigger and keep getting bigger and bigger and keep getting bigger and bigger and bloating and bloating and getting more bloating and bloating and getting more bloating and bloating and getting more and more obese and more um degrees are and more obese and more um degrees are and more obese and more um degrees are added on that are never going to pay added on that are never going to pay added on that are never going to pay back. So there are bad companies that back. So there are bad companies that back. So there are bad companies that never should have been funded in the never should have been funded in the never should have been funded in the first place and taxpayers are going to first place and taxpayers are going to first place and taxpayers are going to eat that when that kid defaults whether eat that when that kid defaults whether eat that when that kid defaults whether now or in the future. The taxpayer ends now or in the future. The taxpayer ends now or in the future. The taxpayer ends up having to pick up the tab. So, what up having to pick up the tab. So, what up having to pick up the tab.

If people take out a bad loan, they need to be able to bad loan, they need to be able to bad loan, they need to be able to declare bankruptcy so that here's the declare bankruptcy so that here's the declare bankruptcy so that here's the punchline of it all. The banks are punchline of it all. The banks are punchline of it all. The banks are disciplined about who they loan money disciplined about who they loan money disciplined about who they loan money to. Right now, the government's like, to. Right now, the government's like, to. Right now, the government's like, "You don't need to be disciplined. I'm "You don't need to be disciplined. I'm "You don't need to be disciplined.

So I agree bad things have been done but So I agree bad things have been done but So I agree bad things have been done but the way that you end up in madness is the way that you end up in madness is the way that you end up in madness is just constantly looking backwards. You just constantly looking backwards. You just constantly looking backwards. You just have to fix the problem and move just have to fix the problem and move just have to fix the problem and move forwards. Like there's unfortunately forwards. Like there's unfortunately forwards. Like there's unfortunately there's no way around it. You have there's no way around it. You have there's no way around it. You have suffered an injury to which only you can suffered an injury to which only you can suffered an injury to which only you can deal with the consequences. That's the deal with the consequences.

And you're just going to put the country back in the same death the country back in the same death the country back in the same death spiral if you're like no no no you need spiral if you're like no no no you need spiral if you're like no no no you need to cover this too. There will be no end to cover this too. There will be no end to cover this too. There will be no end to the calls for but wait I was wronged to the calls for but wait I was wronged to the calls for but wait I was wronged over here. you've got to take care of over here. you've got to take care of over here. you've got to take care of this as well. You You just literally this as well. You You just literally this as well. You You just literally have to say, "Okay, have to say, "Okay, have to say, "Okay, >> we're not doing that anymore.

We're just going to look forward and yeah, fix the going to look forward and yeah, fix the going to look forward and yeah, fix the problems, but don't paralyze yourself problems, but don't paralyze yourself problems, but don't paralyze yourself with having to both fix a problem moving with having to both fix a problem moving with having to both fix a problem moving forward and create a bigger hole for forward and create a bigger hole for forward and create a bigger hole for yourself by trying to resolve a problem yourself by trying to resolve a problem yourself by trying to resolve a problem that will be fundamentally unresolvable that will be fundamentally unresolvable that will be fundamentally unresolvable going backwards." going backwards." going backwards." >> Is that the same argument as food stamps >> Is that the same argument as food stamps >> Is that the same argument as food stamps in section 8? I can pay my rent. I can in section 8? I can pay my rent. I can in section 8? I can pay my rent. I can buy groceries, so why am I responsible buy groceries, so why am I responsible buy groceries, so why am I responsible for other people's SNAP benefits and for other people's SNAP benefits and for other people's SNAP benefits and section 8 benefits? section 8 benefits? section 8 benefits? >> Not quite. Because what we're talking >> Not quite. Because what we're talking >> Not quite. Because what we're talking about is um if we want to look at like about is um if we want to look at like about is um if we want to look at like the SNAP benefits and things like that, the SNAP benefits and things like that, the SNAP benefits and things like that, what you want to look at is the breaking what you want to look at is the breaking what you want to look at is the breaking point where you end up making yourself point where you end up making yourself point where you end up making yourself poorer. So like somebody like me poorer. So like somebody like me poorer. So like somebody like me covering the cost of poor people, that's covering the cost of poor people, that's covering the cost of poor people, that's whatever. I'm not going to notice. But whatever. I'm not going to notice. But whatever. I'm not going to notice. But when you have one of those tax when you have one of those tax when you have one of those tax demarcation lines where you start losing demarcation lines where you start losing demarcation lines where you start losing SNAP benefits because you're making that SNAP benefits because you're making that SNAP benefits because you're making that amount of money, but you're not making amount of money, but you're not making amount of money, but you're not making more than you lose in benefits. And it's more than you lose in benefits. And it's more than you lose in benefits. And it's that transition period that creates all that transition period that creates all that transition period that creates all the madness because people go, I'm the madness because people go, I'm the madness because people go, I'm better off here. I'm just not going to better off here. I'm just not going to better off here. I'm just not going to make that extra money. make that extra money. make that extra money. >> And so you create a perverse incentive. >> And so you create a perverse incentive. >> And so you create a perverse incentive. So there are people for whom they would So there are people for whom they would So there are people for whom they would be better off if they just let go of be better off if they just let go of be better off if they just let go of their pride and said, "I'm just going to their pride and said, "I'm just going to their pride and said, "I'm just going to take from the government." and they take from the government." and they take from the government." and they would actually have more money in their would actually have more money in their would actually have more money in their pocket. So that has like its own pocket. So that has like its own pocket. So that has like its own derangements and you know my take which derangements and you know my take which derangements and you know my take which is that should all be means tested. If is that should all be means tested. If is that should all be means tested. If you're able-bodied you should be you're able-bodied you should be you're able-bodied you should be working. Um and just full stop period working. Um and just full stop period working. Um and just full stop period end of story and all of government end of story and all of government end of story and all of government assistance barring like permanent assistance barring like permanent assistance barring like permanent catastrophic disability should be catastrophic disability should be catastrophic disability should be temporary at best. I love that we have temporary at best. I love that we have temporary at best. I love that we have it but it should be very temporary. Um, it but it should be very temporary. Um, it but it should be very temporary. Um, so that's how I would look at that as so that's how I would look at that as so that's how I would look at that as differentiated from, okay, uh, you did differentiated from, okay, uh, you did differentiated from, okay, uh, you did this bad thing and there have been so this bad thing and there have been so this bad thing and there have been so many people that have been wronged by many people that have been wronged by many people that have been wronged by bad government policies and I would like bad government policies and I would like bad government policies and I would like you to make up for all of those bad you to make up for all of those bad you to make up for all of those bad government policies. It's like you government policies. It's like you government policies. It's like you really can't look backwards. It's it's really can't look backwards. It's it's really can't look backwards. It's it's too deranging and it just makes the hole too deranging and it just makes the hole too deranging and it just makes the hole deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper. And so this is where okay where socialism communism goes very where socialism communism goes very wrong is it says I just cannot have an wrong is it says I just cannot have an wrong is it says I just cannot have an individual suffer so I'm going to push individual suffer so I'm going to push individual suffer so I'm going to push everything up to the government level. everything up to the government level. everything up to the government level. What Christianity solves for and the What Christianity solves for and the What Christianity solves for and the reason that Christian countries have reason that Christian countries have reason that Christian countries have done so well is it says no the done so well is it says no the done so well is it says no the individual needs to carry their own individual needs to carry their own individual needs to carry their own burden and you've all been forgiven. burden and you've all been forgiven. burden and you've all been forgiven. You're going to heaven. you're gonna get You're going to heaven. you're gonna get You're going to heaven. you're gonna get your just rewards, but I'm gonna push your just rewards, but I'm gonna push your just rewards, but I'm gonna push this all down to you. You all have to this all down to you. You all have to this all down to you. You all have to bear your own cross. And that idea of bear your own cross. And that idea of bear your own cross. And that idea of like, all right, I'm gonna shoulder my like, all right, I'm gonna shoulder my like, all right, I'm gonna shoulder my responsibility, and that is how I honor responsibility, and that is how I honor responsibility, and that is how I honor God. Um, that's how you get something God. Um, that's how you get something God. Um, that's how you get something where the spark of divinity is in the where the spark of divinity is in the where the spark of divinity is in the individual, and you get a country now individual, and you get a country now individual, and you get a country now where people carry their burdens and where people carry their burdens and where people carry their burdens and they um take personal responsibility. they um take personal responsibility. they um take personal responsibility. They push forward and that asking people They push forward and that asking people They push forward and that asking people to carry their individual burdens where to carry their individual burdens where to carry their individual burdens where the family rallies around them or the the family rallies around them or the the family rallies around them or the church may rally around them, but you church may rally around them, but you church may rally around them, but you don't try to push it back up up up up up don't try to push it back up up up up up don't try to push it back up up up up up up to this nameless faceless thing that up to this nameless faceless thing that up to this nameless faceless thing that has no idea whether the people that are has no idea whether the people that are has no idea whether the people that are asking for a handout are worthy or not asking for a handout are worthy or not asking for a handout are worthy or not quite frankly. quite frankly. quite frankly. >> Um, you bring me back to my like summer >> Um, you bring me back to my like summer >> Um, you bring me back to my like summer camp days when you raise your hand. I camp days when you raise your hand. I camp days when you raise your hand. I appreciate that. [laughter] appreciate that. [laughter] appreciate that. [laughter] >> Yeah. I just don't want to cut off the >> Yeah. I just don't want to cut off the >> Yeah. I just don't want to cut off the floor. floor. floor. >> Go ahead. What were you saying? Um, I >> Go ahead. What were you saying? Um, I >> Go ahead. What were you saying? Um, I was just wondering cuz I feel like this was just wondering cuz I feel like this was just wondering cuz I feel like this is adjacent to this whole conversation. is adjacent to this whole conversation. is adjacent to this whole conversation. Um, so I'm on Catholic Twitter even Um, so I'm on Catholic Twitter even Um, so I'm on Catholic Twitter even though I'm not practicing. So I still though I'm not practicing. So I still though I'm not practicing. So I still see all the arguments going on and one see all the arguments going on and one see all the arguments going on and one of the things the PO pope tweeted of the things the PO pope tweeted of the things the PO pope tweeted something this morning and it split the something this morning and it split the something this morning and it split the entirety of Catholic Twitter and I was entirety of Catholic Twitter and I was entirety of Catholic Twitter and I was wondering if y'all saw it because it's wondering if y'all saw it because it's wondering if y'all saw it because it's kind of about all of this. He basically kind of about all of this. He basically kind of about all of this. He basically wrote is the it is it is important to wrote is the it is it is important to wrote is the it is it is important to resist the commodification of basic resist the commodification of basic resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water, and healthcare human needs. Food, water, and healthcare human needs. Food, water, and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market cannot be subordinated to market cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geo uh geopolitical considerations or geo uh geopolitical considerations or geo uh geopolitical interests. And he keeps going. So I'm interests. And he keeps going. So I'm interests. And he keeps going. So I'm just curious like with the religion just curious like with the religion just curious like with the religion element um how does like Catholicism element um how does like Catholicism element um how does like Catholicism play into this because we mentioned play into this because we mentioned play into this because we mentioned Christianity. Christianity. Christianity. >> Yeah. So well on that all I can say not >> Yeah. So well on that all I can say not >> Yeah. So well on that all I can say not necessarily how Catholicism feeds into necessarily how Catholicism feeds into necessarily how Catholicism feeds into this but certainly how that comment this but certainly how that comment this but certainly how that comment feeds into this which is um he has been feeds into this which is um he has been feeds into this which is um he has been a part of an organization that has been a part of an organization that has been a part of an organization that has been prosperous now for almost 2,000 years. prosperous now for almost 2,000 years. prosperous now for almost 2,000 years. Uh so at this point I think he has Uh so at this point I think he has Uh so at this point I think he has completely lost sight of the fact that completely lost sight of the fact that completely lost sight of the fact that both religion and governments were both religion and governments were both religion and governments were originally born because most people died originally born because most people died originally born because most people died of toxic water or whatever. And so, um, of toxic water or whatever. And so, um, of toxic water or whatever. And so, um, what we have relied upon to get to this what we have relied upon to get to this what we have relied upon to get to this point is innovation. And the fact that point is innovation. And the fact that point is innovation. And the fact that we're now acting as if, uh, nature isn't we're now acting as if, uh, nature isn't we're now acting as if, uh, nature isn't read and tooth and claw, that you don't read and tooth and claw, that you don't read and tooth and claw, that you don't have to bust your ass to pull bacteria have to bust your ass to pull bacteria have to bust your ass to pull bacteria out of the water to avoid, you know, all out of the water to avoid, you know, all out of the water to avoid, you know, all of the waterbornne diseases and of the waterbornne diseases and of the waterbornne diseases and parasites and all that [ __ ] is crazy. parasites and all that [ __ ] is crazy. parasites and all that [ __ ] is crazy. people have lost a frame of reference people have lost a frame of reference people have lost a frame of reference that is so scary that they're going to that is so scary that they're going to that is so scary that they're going to bring us back to that initial starting bring us back to that initial starting bring us back to that initial starting point. So, I get it. He's viewing point. So, I get it. He's viewing point. So, I get it. He's viewing himself as somebody that needs to fight himself as somebody that needs to fight himself as somebody that needs to fight for the little person. And I [ __ ] for the little person. And I [ __ ] for the little person. And I [ __ ] love that. I love that there are people love that. I love that there are people love that. I love that there are people that are wired like that. And religion that are wired like that. And religion that are wired like that. And religion at its best does that at the the ground at its best does that at the the ground at its best does that at the the ground level that it's like you literally train level that it's like you literally train level that it's like you literally train people to be you're going to give your people to be you're going to give your people to be you're going to give your life in service of God by making contact life in service of God by making contact life in service of God by making contact with humanity. So God is running this with humanity. So God is running this with humanity. So God is running this experiment where he creates everything. experiment where he creates everything. experiment where he creates everything. But he steps back and only pops in like But he steps back and only pops in like But he steps back and only pops in like once every few thousand years and like once every few thousand years and like once every few thousand years and like no I got you don't worry but like I need no I got you don't worry but like I need no I got you don't worry but like I need you guys to do this [ __ ] yourselves. And you guys to do this [ __ ] yourselves. And you guys to do this [ __ ] yourselves. And so you get these, you know, being so you get these, you know, being so you get these, you know, being generous here, but you get these pious generous here, but you get these pious generous here, but you get these pious people who are legitimately like, "Holy people who are legitimately like, "Holy people who are legitimately like, "Holy [ __ ] I'm going to dedicate my entire [ __ ] I'm going to dedicate my entire [ __ ] I'm going to dedicate my entire life to this." Like, I cannot fathom a life to this." Like, I cannot fathom a life to this." Like, I cannot fathom a guy saying, "I'm never going to have sex guy saying, "I'm never going to have sex guy saying, "I'm never going to have sex because I just want to serve people so because I just want to serve people so because I just want to serve people so much that I will subordinate all of my much that I will subordinate all of my much that I will subordinate all of my needs." But yet some of them do it. Man, needs." But yet some of them do it. Man, needs." But yet some of them do it. Man, what a [ __ ] beautiful gift. Like what a [ __ ] beautiful gift. Like what a [ __ ] beautiful gift. Like that's really crazy. And so at the local that's really crazy. And so at the local that's really crazy. And so at the local level, go to your local church and look level, go to your local church and look level, go to your local church and look after 75 people and just do everything after 75 people and just do everything after 75 people and just do everything you can to make their lives better. you can to make their lives better. you can to make their lives better. That's awesome. Like can you really look That's awesome. Like can you really look That's awesome. Like can you really look poorly upon that? Now they derange in poorly upon that? Now they derange in poorly upon that? Now they derange in the same way that a large corporation the same way that a large corporation the same way that a large corporation deranges or a large government deranges. deranges or a large government deranges. deranges or a large government deranges. I get it. But like if you accept that I get it. But like if you accept that I get it. But like if you accept that read of the way that some people go into read of the way that some people go into read of the way that some people go into it to really do that, that is a really it to really do that, that is a really it to really do that, that is a really beautiful thing. Okay. But we have to beautiful thing. Okay. But we have to beautiful thing. Okay. But we have to understand how we actually solve these understand how we actually solve these understand how we actually solve these problems. We solve these problems problems. We solve these problems problems. We solve these problems because we have people that innovate. because we have people that innovate. because we have people that innovate. And unfortunately, a lot of that And unfortunately, a lot of that And unfortunately, a lot of that innovation is warfare. A lot of that innovation is warfare. A lot of that innovation is warfare. A lot of that innovation is sanitation. But if you innovation is sanitation. But if you innovation is sanitation. But if you want to go see countries that are really want to go see countries that are really want to go see countries that are really held back and they just cannot make held back and they just cannot make held back and they just cannot make progress, they can't take care of the progress, they can't take care of the progress, they can't take care of the basic stuff. And unfortunately, as China basic stuff. And unfortunately, as China basic stuff. And unfortunately, as China has proven, as so many countries have has proven, as so many countries have has proven, as so many countries have proven, the only way to pull people out proven, the only way to pull people out proven, the only way to pull people out of that desperate gr grinding poverty of that desperate gr grinding poverty of that desperate gr grinding poverty where they are just being eaten alive by where they are just being eaten alive by where they are just being eaten alive by disease and stuff, famines, is disease and stuff, famines, is disease and stuff, famines, is innovation. And the only way to get innovation. And the only way to get innovation. And the only way to get people to innovate is to give them people to innovate is to give them people to innovate is to give them economic freedoms. To let people get economic freedoms. To let people get economic freedoms. To let people get rich. That is the only thing that gives rich. That is the only thing that gives rich. That is the only thing that gives them the energy to try things. The vast them the energy to try things. The vast them the energy to try things. The vast majority of whom will fail and die broke majority of whom will fail and die broke majority of whom will fail and die broke because they tried and it didn't work. because they tried and it didn't work. because they tried and it didn't work. But every now and then someone becomes But every now and then someone becomes But every now and then someone becomes incredibly successful and it makes life incredibly successful and it makes life incredibly successful and it makes life better not only for the people in that better not only for the people in that better not only for the people in that country. It makes life better for the country. It makes life better for the country. It makes life better for the world because that technology inevitably world because that technology inevitably world because that technology inevitably spreads. spreads. spreads. How do we deal with the changing How do we deal with the changing How do we deal with the changing societal contract where it's no longer societal contract where it's no longer societal contract where it's no longer go to work, get a go to college, get a go to work, get a go to college, get a go to work, get a go to college, get a job, you'll be good for 30 years. Um to job, you'll be good for 30 years. Um to job, you'll be good for 30 years. Um to a now you have to kind of figure it out a now you have to kind of figure it out a now you have to kind of figure it out yourself. You're responsible for your yourself.

So, is is meant to be an entrepreneur? So, is is meant to be an entrepreneur? So, is it just going to be kind of a wave of it just going to be kind of a wave of it just going to be kind of a wave of hardship and then the people that can't hardship and then the people that can't hardship and then the people that can't figure out don't figure it out and the figure out don't figure it out and the figure out don't figure it out and the people that do do? people that do do? people that do do? >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> And we have to just stop trying to make >> And we have to just stop trying to make >> And we have to just stop trying to make the most amount of people prosper at the most amount of people prosper at the most amount of people prosper at once. once. once. >> That is correct.

Now the awesome thing about family and we the awesome thing about family and we the awesome thing about family and we should be encouraging family values um should be encouraging family values um should be encouraging family values um they'll take care of their own. they'll take care of their own. they'll take care of their own. >> Now [clears throat] not always and of >> Now [clears throat] not always and of >> Now [clears throat] not always and of course families can break bad just like course families can break bad just like course families can break bad just like anything else but it's the right level anything else but it's the right level anything else but it's the right level for people to look after their kin. So for people to look after their kin. So for people to look after their kin. So um we should be encouraging that. Again um we should be encouraging that. Again um we should be encouraging that. Again religion has historically played this religion has historically played this religion has historically played this role. Maybe that day is over. Maybe it's role. Maybe that day is over. Maybe it's role. Maybe that day is over. Maybe it's resurging, but that's where you don't resurging, but that's where you don't resurging, but that's where you don't ask the government to be a nanny because ask the government to be a nanny because ask the government to be a nanny because it's absolutely god-awful at it. It will it's absolutely god-awful at it. It will it's absolutely god-awful at it. It will perpetually destroy the children. perpetually destroy the children. perpetually destroy the children. >> Uh but you do it at the family level and >> Uh but you do it at the family level and >> Uh but you do it at the family level and you get a pretty overwhelming number of you get a pretty overwhelming number of you get a pretty overwhelming number of people that come out. Okay, we all get people that come out. Okay, we all get people that come out. Okay, we all get broken in some way. Everybody's broken broken in some way. Everybody's broken broken in some way. Everybody's broken in some way, but nonetheless, that's the in some way, but nonetheless, that's the in some way, but nonetheless, that's the best layer to do this at. And yes, some best layer to do this at. And yes, some best layer to do this at. And yes, some people are going to win, some are going people are going to win, some are going people are going to win, some are going to lose. But if you look at um certainly to lose. But if you look at um certainly to lose. But if you look at um certainly western civilization, it has been not an western civilization, it has been not an western civilization, it has been not an only up phenomenon because it is a only up phenomenon because it is a only up phenomenon because it is a jagged line but it is a over the long jagged line but it is a over the long jagged line but it is a over the long period of time innovation makes period of time innovation makes period of time innovation makes everything better because being um everything better because being um everything better because being um isolated like if you were just take an isolated like if you were just take an isolated like if you were just take an extreme example if you were extreme example if you were extreme example if you were schizophrenic back in the day your best schizophrenic back in the day your best schizophrenic back in the day your best hope was to become Jon of Arc. Uh but hope was to become Jon of Arc. Uh but hope was to become Jon of Arc. Uh but for the most part you got kicked out of for the most part you got kicked out of for the most part you got kicked out of the group or just killed by the group the group or just killed by the group the group or just killed by the group itself because you seem like a witch or itself because you seem like a witch or itself because you seem like a witch or you seem completely crazy or you really you seem completely crazy or you really you seem completely crazy or you really were dangerous and so they just killed were dangerous and so they just killed were dangerous and so they just killed you. Uh and so being the reason being you. Uh and so being the reason being you. Uh and so being the reason being ostracized is so terrifying to people is ostracized is so terrifying to people is ostracized is so terrifying to people is it meant basically certain death. They it meant basically certain death. They it meant basically certain death. They literally gave um Socrates you can be literally gave um Socrates you can be literally gave um Socrates you can be banished or you can um drink hemlock and banished or you can um drink hemlock and banished or you can um drink hemlock and kill yourself. He just killed himself. kill yourself. He just killed himself. kill yourself. He just killed himself. He just drank the [ __ ] hemlock. So He just drank the [ __ ] hemlock. So He just drank the [ __ ] hemlock. So ostraization used to be like good and ostraization used to be like good and ostraization used to be like good and proper terrifying and only through proper terrifying and only through proper terrifying and only through innovation have we made it such a innovation have we made it such a innovation have we made it such a homeless person can get by because we homeless person can get by because we homeless person can get by because we live in a world of so much abundance. live in a world of so much abundance. live in a world of so much abundance. They can get themselves out of the They can get themselves out of the They can get themselves out of the elements. They can get money off of elements. They can get money off of elements. They can get money off of people just walking by. We'll just give people just walking by. We'll just give people just walking by. We'll just give them [ __ ] money. Um and so in even a them [ __ ] money. Um and so in even a them [ __ ] money. Um and so in even a city like New York, how many people city like New York, how many people city like New York, how many people freeze to death in a winter in a freeze to death in a winter in a freeze to death in a winter in a population of I mean in the city proper? population of I mean in the city proper? population of I mean in the city proper? What's it like 3 million? something like What's it like 3 million? something like What's it like 3 million? something like that. 4 million somewhere in there still that. 4 million somewhere in there still that. 4 million somewhere in there still only losing a couple hundred.

So, get good at using AI because that's So, get good at using AI because that's So, get good at using AI because that's where we're at currently. And then where we're at currently.

That is never going to go away until the human genome has been altered, until the human genome has been altered, until the human genome has been altered, either through technology or through either through technology or through either through technology or through gene editing. And so, that's off in the gene editing. And so, that's off in the gene editing. And so, that's off in the future. And again, you don't have to future. And again, you don't have to future. And again, you don't have to worry about it because it will only worry about it because it will only worry about it because it will only matter if we all do it. Uh otherwise, it matter if we all do it. Uh otherwise, it matter if we all do it. Uh otherwise, it will be again coming back to uh love will be again coming back to uh love will be again coming back to uh love yourself, love the people that you're yourself, love the people that you're yourself, love the people that you're around.

It's Courage is not the absence of fear. It's Courage is not the absence of fear. It's moving forward in the face of fear. Like moving forward in the face of fear. Like moving forward in the face of fear. Like then it's just like keep your head then it's just like keep your head then it's just like keep your head screwed on straight. And then whenever, screwed on straight. And then whenever, screwed on straight. And then whenever, dude, if ever I get overwhelmed with dude, if ever I get overwhelmed with dude, if ever I get overwhelmed with business, I always say to myself, okay, business, I always say to myself, okay, business, I always say to myself, okay, there is a knowable obstacle between there is a knowable obstacle between there is a knowable obstacle between where I'm at and where I want to get to where I'm at and where I want to get to where I'm at and where I want to get to and there's a knowable thing that I and there's a knowable thing that I and there's a knowable thing that I could do with the next 15 minutes of my could do with the next 15 minutes of my could do with the next 15 minutes of my time that will take a meaningful like time that will take a meaningful like time that will take a meaningful like bite out of that obstacle. What is that bite out of that obstacle. What is that bite out of that obstacle. What is that thing? And then just do it. And this is thing? And then just do it. And this is thing? And then just do it. And this is why lateral eye movement works as a um why lateral eye movement works as a um why lateral eye movement works as a um anxiety treatment and depression anxiety treatment and depression anxiety treatment and depression treatment is your eyes move laterally treatment is your eyes move laterally treatment is your eyes move laterally when you're moving forward. So evolution when you're moving forward. So evolution when you're moving forward. So evolution had to get people going even in the face had to get people going even in the face had to get people going even in the face of being terrified the whole village is of being terrified the whole village is of being terrified the whole village is going to die or whatever. And if you going to die or whatever. And if you going to die or whatever. And if you laid on your stone bed uh in your cave laid on your stone bed uh in your cave laid on your stone bed uh in your cave then you all died. And so only the then you all died. And so only the then you all died. And so only the people who when they started moving people who when they started moving people who when they started moving forward they felt better only they forward they felt better only they forward they felt better only they survived. So now we all have this survived. So now we all have this survived. So now we all have this algorithm in us where when we move algorithm in us where when we move algorithm in us where when we move towards the difficulty we move towards towards the difficulty we move towards towards the difficulty we move towards the solution we actually feel better. the solution we actually feel better. the solution we actually feel better. And so that's my whole thing is I have a And so that's my whole thing is I have a And so that's my whole thing is I have a rule in my life. I don't stand still. I rule in my life. I don't stand still. I rule in my life. I don't stand still. I make mistakes. I sometimes pursue the make mistakes. I sometimes pursue the make mistakes. I sometimes pursue the wrong thing. But I never stand still. wrong thing. But I never stand still. wrong thing. But I never stand still. Standing still is the only guaranteed Standing still is the only guaranteed Standing still is the only guaranteed failure. If you move forward though, failure. If you move forward though, failure. If you move forward though, it's like, okay, moving forward. I'm it's like, okay, moving forward. I'm it's like, okay, moving forward. I'm always checking for is there a different always checking for is there a different always checking for is there a different direction that I can go, but I'm not direction that I can go, but I'm not direction that I can go, but I'm not just going to stand still. And so in the just going to stand still. And so in the just going to stand still. And so in the face of AI, that that is my advice to face of AI, that that is my advice to face of AI, that that is my advice to people and I'm living that. Now, look, people and I'm living that. Now, look, people and I'm living that. Now, look, admittedly, I have money, all that. So, admittedly, I have money, all that. So, admittedly, I have money, all that. So, I understand, but keep in mind, my whole I understand, but keep in mind, my whole I understand, but keep in mind, my whole life has been moving towards one dream, life has been moving towards one dream, life has been moving towards one dream, which I am trying to build in this video which I am trying to build in this video which I am trying to build in this video game. And as I'm building it, I'm game. And as I'm building it, I'm game. And as I'm building it, I'm getting daily notifications that AI is getting daily notifications that AI is getting daily notifications that AI is almost certainly going to make it almost certainly going to make it almost certainly going to make it irrelevant by the time I'm actually able irrelevant by the time I'm actually able irrelevant by the time I'm actually able to get this thing across the finish to get this thing across the finish to get this thing across the finish line. And so on a daily basis, I have to line. And so on a daily basis, I have to line. And so on a daily basis, I have to fight the impulse to just go be rich and fight the impulse to just go be rich and fight the impulse to just go be rich and to just to give up and not do it. So to just to give up and not do it. So to just to give up and not do it. So while I don't expect anyone to give me while I don't expect anyone to give me while I don't expect anyone to give me any credit for the fear and anxiety that any credit for the fear and anxiety that any credit for the fear and anxiety that I will have to eat, but again, AI will I will have to eat, but again, AI will I will have to eat, but again, AI will only be a problem if it ushers in an age only be a problem if it ushers in an age only be a problem if it ushers in an age of abundance. So, we're all going to of abundance. So, we're all going to of abundance. So, we're all going to have to contend with the like meaning have to contend with the like meaning have to contend with the like meaning and purposing. How do I keep myself and purposing. How do I keep myself and purposing. How do I keep myself moving forward even when it seems like moving forward even when it seems like moving forward even when it seems like God maybe this is all going to be God maybe this is all going to be God maybe this is all going to be worthless?
