WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:05.839 It's Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZY Kostin's Me Radio. 2 00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:08.800 All right, Dan, I appreciate it. Six p seven ten 3 00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:11.400 thirty is the number here still to come of the program. 4 00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:12.880 We are going to go to Hollywood. We are going 5 00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:15.640 to talk about the oscars. Odie Henderson joins us from 6 00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:19.640 the Globe on who should get what? And then our 7 00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:22.640 conservative friend from the West Coast, Yes, he is the unicorn, 8 00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:26.320 he's the moderate. Sem Metler joins us from Los Angeles. 9 00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:28.320 That's all coming up at eleven o'clock and joining us 10 00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:31.440 right now he's David Alcott, and we're going to talk 11 00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:35.039 about what's going on with Canada and Mexico. I mean, 12 00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:38.119 are is there going to be a battle at the border, David? 13 00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:41.359 Or is Trump now looking like a genius because the 14 00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:43.560 two sides are talking and to just kind of set 15 00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:46.719 it over everybody. You know, Trump wanted the church twenty 16 00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:49.159 five percent tariff for Canada twenty five percent of Mexico. 17 00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:53.119 Now Mexico's sending ten grand, ten thousand soldiers to stop 18 00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:55.920 the drugs, and now Trudeau wants to talk to Trump. 19 00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:58.600 So where are we at right now with this? 20 00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:02.640 Well, we're getting a witness for maybe the first time 21 00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.120 in our lifetime is this very high stakes negotiation poker, 22 00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:09.159 if you will, And that's what's being played out writing 23 00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:11.799 in the midst of all these things happening, and something 24 00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:13.719 is probably should have happened for a long time, but 25 00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:17.920 become the ministration is getting it done. 26 00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:21.439 Which is it? Yeah, I mean you have to wait 27 00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:24.640 and see what happens, obviously, I mean, you know, because 28 00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:28.599 we'll see what But he comes out, guns blaring and 29 00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:32.439 he says that's it. And when I saw, when I 30 00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:35.640 saw the twenty five percent, I was like, that's not 31 00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:39.280 gonna happen. Something's got to give. So I'm not surprised 32 00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:43.680 we'll get to China in a minute. But I mean, so, 33 00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:45.879 what what do you think at the end of the 34 00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:48.719 day happens, Because right now he's talking about the drug 35 00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:51.599 trade right, which I think is impossible to stop. You 36 00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:54.040 could have a million soldiers at the border because of 37 00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:56.680 addiction in America. I don't know if you're or around 38 00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:58.120 the world. I don't know if you're ever going to 39 00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:01.120 stop it. But because the cartel are on Mexico right 40 00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:03.400 as far as I'm concerned, I mean, what's the end 41 00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:05.879 game here? Does it really work. 42 00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:09.879 Well with that really high powered negotiation. You've got to 43 00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:12.719 have this leverage between them because the terriffs aren't really 44 00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.520 the leverage he's playing with that from my standpoint, and 45 00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:18.159 the real thing is what does Mexico really want out 46 00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:20.240 of this? What are they Okay, they don't want terrorists, 47 00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:22.560 because that's going to really impact their ability to be 48 00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:25.560 able to send imports and explorer supports. But their real 49 00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:28.240 things that are after is the manufacturing jobs that are 50 00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:31.039 coming from China. Because the world is changing right now, 51 00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:34.280 it's such a dramatic fashion, so all those manufacturing jobs 52 00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:37.000 that we've had across the world are now being focused 53 00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:40.479 on Canada and Mexico, and that's what they really want. 54 00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:44.080 All those jobs keep those politicians in power. Getting those 55 00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:46.479 jobs over those parts of the country are just huge 56 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:46.800 for them. 57 00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:50.000 Do jobs in Mexico help their battle against the drug trade? 58 00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:55.120 Well, yes, that's exactly what the hope is. But there's 59 00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:56.680 a lot of intrenched stuff that we have to be 60 00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:58.280 able to do with the drug The first thing from 61 00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:02.439 my perspective, is be able to stop the cartel managing 62 00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:05.639 those things in our own country, in our own forests. 63 00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:07.560 We've really got to take a look at that first. 64 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.199 Well you explained so. 65 00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:13.039 Right now, a lot of the drug trade that's being produced, 66 00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:15.840 or the marijuana use that's legal in our country, from 67 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:18.800 my understanding, is that as being actually created in our 68 00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:22.199 natural forests. People have run into these these places over 69 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.360 and over again and they're like, hey, why are the 70 00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:28.759 cartels across the border in our forests actually creating these 71 00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:32.680 kind of cannabis sanctuaries? And how do we stop those? First? 72 00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:35.639 Well, how do you stop Yeah, because it's legal, how 73 00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:36.520 do you stop it? 74 00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:37.759 Well? 75 00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:39.800 Who is running those things? Because a lot of the 76 00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:42.680 cartels aren't, you know, focusing on the different things that 77 00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.120 are making you know, marijuana safer Americans. If we're going 78 00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:47.919 to use it, let's make sure it's safe and run 79 00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:50.400 through the proper channels, not being run by an outside 80 00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.439 organization that uses all kinds of wild chemicals and everything else. 81 00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:55.199 Well, yeah, I mean that's true. I mean, but you 82 00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:57.759 know the cocaine Listen, as long as I've been alive 83 00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:01.120 that the people, I mean, I've never used it. It 84 00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:03.599 scares the listen. I'm not a saint by any stretch. 85 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:06.719 I certainly drank enough beer to choke a dinosaur. But 86 00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:08.719 you know, and I think it's all the same, you know. 87 00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:10.960 I think people that look at alcohol, it's all it's 88 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:15.719 all numbing, it's all medication. So but like the cocaine stuff, 89 00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:19.000 it just won't go away. I mean they Mexico makes 90 00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:21.279 so much damn money on it, it just will not 91 00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:24.680 It just will not go away. The addiction is crazy. 92 00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:28.040 And you know, there's some conversations about you know that 93 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:30.600 Mexico doesn't want to stop the way of that trade either, 94 00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:32.600 because that's such a big part of the ability to 95 00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:35.720 be able to pay off debt. So lots of conversations 96 00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:37.519 to be able to have about it. It's really just 97 00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:38.639 starting at our borders. 98 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:41.560 First, David, I don't follow you on that. The cocaine 99 00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.000 trade helps the country of Mexico pay off debt. 100 00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:48.839 So income coming in from that starts to help out 101 00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:52.240 the economy in those countries, right. 102 00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:54.079 Right, because the cars will spend money in Mexico, all right. 103 00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:57.199 Exactly, and then that money transfers up into the government, 104 00:04:57.399 --> 00:04:58.959 you know, and that gets the day off those debts 105 00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:00.839 and they have huge that's for the rest of the world. 106 00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:04.720 Yeah, that's it. Yeah, So what do you think is 107 00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:06.800 going on with China? The ten percent there. What's his 108 00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:07.759 motivation with that? 109 00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:12.079 Well, I definitely think that, you know, being in alignments 110 00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:16.040 to Mexico and Canada are a little easier fixed because 111 00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:19.279 they want those manufacturing jobs. Those jobs are leaving China 112 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:21.959 right now. So what's what's the leverage point? The tariffs 113 00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:24.800 aren't enough? What does China really want is the question? 114 00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:27.279 And that's the big unknown is what is the trumb 115 00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:29.839 administration going to be able to give to the Chinese 116 00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:32.759 folks to be able to pay not do these tariffs 117 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.360 in place of this And that's still the big question. 118 00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:38.399 Well, but also ten percent if you pass it. Look 119 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:42.680 if when teriffs are implemented, it's always passed along to 120 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:45.720 the consumer, twenty five percent is a big chunk. But 121 00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.319 if you want to buy imported goods from China, is 122 00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:49.639 ten percent a deal breaker? 123 00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:53.720 Well it's It was twenty five percent for the other 124 00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:56.319 two right that made it really stand up? Why only 125 00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:59.600 ten percent for China? And that's an interesting dynamic that 126 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:00.879 are really I'll know the answer to them. 127 00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:03.120 Yeah, Well, it just I don't think they have the 128 00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:07.920 same negotiating Obviously, Trump doesn't have the leverage with China 129 00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:10.680 that he had with the other two countries, I would agree, Yeah, 130 00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:13.879 I mean, that's that's something going on there. But because 131 00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:17.040 as Americans were so damn spoiled, we even when we 132 00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:19.319 don't have the money, we pay for it. That's why 133 00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:22.120 the credit card companies are killing us, you know, so 134 00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:27.600 or we're killing ourselves, I should say, But I just 135 00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:30.839 think goods, you know, ten percent is I think. I 136 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:32.399 just think people will pay for it. I don't. I 137 00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:38.319 don't know what that will do for Trump in that regard. 138 00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:44.519 Is there any angle here that he's doing this to 139 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:46.120 create jobs in America? 140 00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.000 I think that's exactly what you know of all of 141 00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:53.000 our apologistically wants how to bring those jobs back to America. 142 00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:56.160 So it's really about focusing on Okay, if the manufacturing 143 00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:59.040 is really changing costs globally and starting to be able 144 00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:03.600 to start fundally focusing in Mexico and Canada, how do 145 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:05.439 we continue to bring those jobs here when we have 146 00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:08.079 a workforce that really doesn't want a lot of those jobs. 147 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:09.920 So that becomes our next issue. 148 00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:14.160 Well, yeah, we do that, then, yeah, that's a problem 149 00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:16.279 because if you know, when I've talked to people in 150 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:23.720 the service industry, for example, Okay, there are people in 151 00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:27.839 America without jobs that will not work in the service industry. Yes, 152 00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:31.920 they refuse to. They'd rather take unemployment or lie. Right, 153 00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:36.800 So you know, do you have to create? And if 154 00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:40.079 you take a look at companies that are international companies 155 00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:43.959 and they can make the product cheaper overseas than in America. 156 00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:46.680 I think it's a tough it's a tough road ahead 157 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:47.399 for the president. 158 00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:50.600 And now I'm going to say word is probably going 159 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:52.519 to get me in troubled with a lot of the listeners. 160 00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:55.240 But this is where the immigration conversation finally comes down. 161 00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:57.160 All right, Well, that's a tease, and we're going to 162 00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:00.759 tell you about that next because that's a big issue too. Okay, 163 00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:03.920 David Walcott is David Alcott. I'm sorry, David is joining us. 164 00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:08.439 The book is Sorts of Illumination.

David Alcott. 171 00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:32.000 That sounds really. 172 00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:36.240 Deep, Yes, sir, it is. It's took me a long 173 00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:36.840 time to write that. 174 00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:40.399 Before we get back to the talk, what exactly is 175 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:41.720 it about? Why should I read it? 176 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.720 So so many of us are are walking through this 177 00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:48.600 life with a sense of Hey, what went wrong here? 178 00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:51.679 What's what's this life really about? And that book is 179 00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:54.399 really thirty five years that I've been really focusing on 180 00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:57.759 finding out what this place is really about. And it's 181 00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:00.879 really about finding out how to not change the world necessarily, 182 00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:03.240 but to change your experience of the world we're having. 183 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.519 Those people are very successful on this planet then have 184 00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:10.919 this incredible ability to create their own identity and then 185 00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:14.320 start really living that life based upon that identity, which 186 00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:16.720 is very different from how most of us live by 187 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:19.799 the whim or reaction to people's events in their lives. 188 00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:20.360 Stuff like this. 189 00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:22.960 People really want to get back to being who they 190 00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:25.799 really are, creating that sense of destiny. That's the book 191 00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:26.039 for you. 192 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.159 It takes a lot of concentration. You have to turn 193 00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.840 out the noise, you really do, because listen, if you 194 00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:35.759 have to shut out the noise from your relatives, you 195 00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:37.480 know you got to turn out the noise. Look, you're 196 00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:39.639 talking about a guy who left a small town in 197 00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:42.919 Maine to be a broadcaster in Boston and you know, 198 00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.840 nobody thinks you could have what you're kidding me, You're 199 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:49.559 gonna shut out the noise. Yeah. Anyways, So it's a 200 00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:51.519 good book. Check it out. Have I read it? No, 201 00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:54.080 But you know we like Dave all right, So let's 202 00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.200 get back to the tariffs here. You now you just 203 00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:02.759 mentioned the I word immigration. Is that all? How how 204 00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:03.919 does this all tie you away? 205 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:09.759 So it's interesting because making connections is what we really 206 00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:12.639 do here at Samurai Success, helping business owners really see 207 00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:15.919 the connection because connections really help you with comprehension to 208 00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:18.759 truly understand something so you can apply it. So these 209 00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:21.120 connections that we're talking about, it's like, how does immigration 210 00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:25.480 have anything to do with interest rates? Inflation and this 211 00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:27.840 this whole thing we've been dealing with, and it's actually connected. 212 00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:30.159 And that's why when you see some of these graphs 213 00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:33.639 of the last administration pouring all these immigrants in here, 214 00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:36.279 is because a lot of the jobs that people just 215 00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:39.600 do not want to have. Let me give you an example, landscaping, right. 216 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:41.399 Landscaping is one of those things that a lot of 217 00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:43.159 the workforce just doesn't want to deal today it's too 218 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.720 hods to call whatever it looks like. And the immigration 219 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.279 force takes over those jobs, which then lowers that price again. 220 00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:52.799 So the consumer then is dealing with a really high price. 221 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:54.639 Nobody wants to do It's a blind demand, and all 222 00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:56.679 of a sudden, you have a whole labor force now 223 00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:59.000 wanting to do that job. The prices come back to 224 00:10:59.039 --> 00:10:59.639 something that's. 225 00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:05.399 More for I'll tell you in my town, the people 226 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:09.000 that you talk about landscaping, some of the contractors that 227 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:17.600 I've used immigrants and I paid them very well. Phenomenal work, ethic, phenomenal, unbelievable, 228 00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:21.559 great work. Phenomenal work that that, and they're they're they're excited, 229 00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:23.639 there's an opportunity to do it. You can't. You can't 230 00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:26.080 be grudge them. I mean you really can't. It's like 231 00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:30.799 I call, you know, I'll call my contractor immediately he's there. Look, 232 00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:34.440 he's not cheap, it's fair, but they're doing the work. 233 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.679 You know, how does this how does this How does 234 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:40.639 this affect America long term? This work ethic? I talked 235 00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:44.679 to a consultant once from one of the big firms. 236 00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:47.159 I can't remember, uh the name of it. If you 237 00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:49.639 know something something that's something that if you hire him 238 00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:51.080 a cost an arm and a leg out of a 239 00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:54.279 skyscraper in New York. And he felt, if our work 240 00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:58.080 ethic didn't change with this generation, our place in the 241 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:00.480 world is in jeopardy. Is that an over statement? 242 00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:03.600 I don't think it is. As a matter of fact, 243 00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:06.519 I think that's why you're seeing so much pressure on 244 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:10.799 machine technology and machine intelligence, because we're looking at these 245 00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:13.799 robots to save our labor force. And the big challenge 246 00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:16.279 for us, of course, is the demographics. I mean, kids 247 00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:18.480 today are very different. When it came to us, we 248 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:21.360 identified work as our identity who we are, you know, 249 00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:23.399 our ability to work and make money and do all 250 00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:27.039 this stuff, and theirs is so different. They're wanting to 251 00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:28.639 go to work, get a paycheck, and so they can 252 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:31.600 go and do some kind of other experience. Their identity 253 00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:32.360 isn't tied to this. 254 00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:37.279 I had a student I was teaching Todd at Emerson 255 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.879 as well, and this person I had connected and with 256 00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:45.000 the podcast and they could do some podcasts and get 257 00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:47.679 some experience. And I said, you know, would you like 258 00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:49.440 to do an additional one so it would be like 259 00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:51.840 maybe four a week, And they said, oh no, no, 260 00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:58.480 I need some time off, and I would what we 261 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:01.600 have just spoiled this generation. And I'm trying to like 262 00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:04.000 go doing about face a little bit in my house, 263 00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:09.159 but we have totally. Yeah, we've screwed this generation up. 264 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:11.799 I think I blame the parents. We have been way 265 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:13.879 too easy on them, way too easy. 266 00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:16.720 Let me add to that mixture of that stuff. Let's 267 00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:18.759 imagine you're you're a smart kid. And by the way, 268 00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:21.240 these kids aren't unintelligent, man. 269 00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:23.639 They're no, no, no, no. 270 00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:26.799 And so now you're a child, right, and you watch 271 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:28.960 your mom and dad come home, or your mom or 272 00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:31.240 your single tell whatever it is, they come home and 273 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:35.080 all they do is complain about work. What do you 274 00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:36.200 think that teaches us? 275 00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:37.399 Yeah? 276 00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:40.639 Very I mean, seriously, we have done this to ourselves, right, 277 00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:45.399 We've got to take responsibility for getting back on track. 278 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:47.159 That's the misty element. 279 00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:51.480 No, you're right, No, you're absolutely right. They hear us 280 00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:54.799 bitch all the time and so forth, and and yeah, 281 00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:57.120 that's that's an excellent point. I didn't I didn't think 282 00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:59.759 about that. I didn't we talk about. 283 00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:00.480 We don't go on vacation. 284 00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:02.480 Has been years since I've had a vacation. I never 285 00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:05.960 have enough and these kids are listening. We have taught 286 00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:09.440 them exactly to be the kids they are today, the 287 00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:10.120 men and women. 288 00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:15.919 Well, we also there's also a feeling that you can 289 00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:18.200 be twenty three or twenty four before you move out 290 00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:21.360 of the house, or you know, or twenty three or 291 00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:25.279 twenty four before you're off the payroll. You know. I 292 00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:28.879 mean that's got to stop. You know that that to me, 293 00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:33.399 that that that that gets a little crazy. Back to 294 00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:38.480 the I just had this quite on the immigration thing. Now, 295 00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:43.039 the Democrats will point out to Obama deported a lot 296 00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:45.759 of people, Biden deported a lot of people, and now 297 00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:50.480 obviously Trump is you know, running rampant here doing it. 298 00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:55.159 Are those fair comments? Is Trump doing anything differently as 299 00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:58.000 opposed to past administrations. 300 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:00.559 Well, you know, it's been again just a couple of 301 00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:03.559 weeks into his administration kind of stuff, But this is 302 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:05.440 what he ran on and he has a clear mandate 303 00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:08.559 which he's following through with so far. Just says I'm 304 00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:10.639 going to start taking the folks that did not go 305 00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:14.600 into the proper channels and a realistic immigration policy, and 306 00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:16.840 we're going to return you back to your countries, and 307 00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:20.000 you're going to take them and it's just something we 308 00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:21.039 haven't seen before. 309 00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:24.120 Well we haven't seen it to this degree, but past 310 00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:26.519 administrations are claiming that they did the same thing. 311 00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:29.960 Yeah, maybe they just didn't publicize it. 312 00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:32.720 No, I mean this is what he does. I mean, 313 00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:35.399 this is I mean he's P. T. Barnum. Yeactly, I 314 00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:37.960 mean that this is exactly what he does. Did you 315 00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:44.039 see the movie The Apprentice? I did unbelievable, very much. 316 00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:47.440 You have to watch it, people, And I understand it's Hollywood. 317 00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:50.759 We understand it's been dramatized and so forth. But I 318 00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:55.080 do believe the spine is pretty accurate and this guy 319 00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:58.879 has been did not. I mean the first thing that 320 00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:04.039 they talk about in the film that he learns from 321 00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:09.600 Roy Cohen is deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny. It 322 00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:15.000 hasn't changed. It hasn't changed, listen, deny, deny, deny, deny. 323 00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:17.639 And he just got elected again. Not only did he 324 00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:21.600 get elected the first time, not having any government experience, 325 00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:29.679 he got bounced and then got elected again by deny, deny, deny. 326 00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:32.000 If people haven't watched it, at you Apprentice, you have 327 00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:34.799 to watch it. I understand it's a movie, but there's 328 00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:39.519 some truth to it. Don't you think I would agree? Unbelievable. 329 00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:43.879 I mean, it's just it's just absolutely laughable. All right, 330 00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:46.360 So what should we look at down the road? What's 331 00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:47.799 coming down the road? What do you think? 332 00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:51.679 Well, we're definitely in you know, is I think the 333 00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:54.039 conversation that's having is this this level of cast we're 334 00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:55.240 going to be dealing with. We're going to be dealing 335 00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:58.519 with this for a while. And business owners specifically, how 336 00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:02.919 this affects us is that opportunity really exists in this 337 00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:05.119 place of chaos. And that's the real message you like 338 00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:07.640 to share with people, is that, yes, there's going to 339 00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:09.680 be craziness that you're not used to, that we've never 340 00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:13.200 seen anything like this before. And yet if you're really, 341 00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:15.880 really wise about this, you can really take advantage of 342 00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:17.640 this and really be able to help them be in 343 00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:20.680 service people in your business. That's the real great message. 344 00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:22.519 So you see an opportunity. 345 00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:25.680 I see a huge opportunity in the next four years, 346 00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:27.240 huge opportunity. 347 00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:29.559 Can you be a little more specific? I don't know 348 00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:31.119 if you can't because you're talking about it in such 349 00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:33.519 a broad sense, but can you give me some specific 350 00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:35.640 ideas or examples. 351 00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:39.039 Well, you can already see that the Wall Street what 352 00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:41.319 is reacting to today, of course, right the ups and 353 00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:42.920 downs and things like this. And I will tell you 354 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:46.039 every great investor we've ever studied has made more money 355 00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:49.200 and downturns than they have an upturns. So there's a 356 00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:53.039 very very interesting perspective right there, this wild roller coaster, 357 00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:56.039 that there's opportunity in that. You just have to spend time. 358 00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:58.119 And like you said earlier areas is you've got to 359 00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:01.359 just break the noise. Why you're being so successful as 360 00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:04.599 life is you got away from everybody else's chatter about you, Gary, 361 00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:07.240 You've got to figure out who you are and what 362 00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:09.920 you want in this lifetime, and that's when opportunity shows 363 00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:10.400 itself to you. 364 00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:14.720 So Bilo sell high perfect. I mean, I mean, that's 365 00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:18.279 as old as the hills. But yeah, it's true. Yeah 366 00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:20.160 that now more than ever. I mean, And that's something 367 00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:22.559 I tell my son, you know where I go, just 368 00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:24.880 turn in my kids, Just turn out the noise. You 369 00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:29.240 got to pay your bills, obviously, but just just just 370 00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:31.920 turn out, definitely turn out the noise. And my kid, 371 00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:35.039 my kid at seventeen, was looking at the market. I said, dude, 372 00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:37.680 I go I don't. That's one thing I will tell 373 00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:40.319 this generation. And I've told my kids, look at the 374 00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:43.319 stock market. Take any money that you have and start 375 00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:46.119 investing as soon as you can, because I don't know 376 00:18:46.279 --> 00:18:49.920 how you're going to make extra money. Like, I don't 377 00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:51.559 know how you're going to get ahead. You can get 378 00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:54.200 into sales and you can make big commissions, but I 379 00:18:54.279 --> 00:18:57.519 don't know if you don't play the stock market from 380 00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:00.559 when you're eighteen and put them in it, I don't 381 00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:02.960 know how people are going to get ahead. Are you 382 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:05.200 going to work overtime? Is there going to be overtime 383 00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:08.759 with AI? Will there be double overtime for people? I 384 00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:10.319 mean I come from a town where we had a 385 00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:13.359 paper mill that people with a high school education could 386 00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:16.640 work double time on Sunday. They were union. That meant 387 00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:20.200 they made forty dollars an hour on a Sunday. Those 388 00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:23.559 days are gone, am I right? 389 00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:27.599 The greats are agreed. Well, you gotta just you gotta 390 00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:30.519 get for the business owner. 391 00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:33.400 Yeah, I mean you have to people. People have to 392 00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:36.359 look at them student. Young people have to look at 393 00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:40.799 themselves as an individual, corporation or entity. Yes, maybe I 394 00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:45.599 should write a book perfect all right, Well you should 395 00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:48.920 check it out Source of Illumination.
