1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 1: This is Guadalupe Manriquez. She's the California Department of Finance 2 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,720 Program budget manager. Listen to how much money the state 3 00:00:08,759 --> 00:00:12,800 of California has spent in medical in the current ear 4 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:14,279 on illegal immigrants. 5 00:00:14,759 --> 00:00:17,760 Speaker 2: Manriquez with the California Department of Finance. So, in the 6 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,679 current year to cover undocumented individuals in medical we're spending 7 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,120 nine point five billion dollars total funds. 8 00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:27,519 Speaker 3: So it's not the six billion that people continue to 9 00:00:27,559 --> 00:00:28,359 talk about in the media. 10 00:00:28,399 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 4: It's nine point five. 11 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 2: Billion was a Budget Act number. This is a revised 12 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:36,159 number based on the governor's budget updated estimates. So of 13 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,520 the nine point five billion, eight point four billion is 14 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:39,479 general fund. 15 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,039 Speaker 1: Okay, nine point five billion in the current year. That 16 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,399 seems like a lot, but maybe it's not. 17 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:45,840 Speaker 5: It is. 18 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 1: We'll talk with Zach Abraham, chief investment off for Bowerck 19 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,079 Compital Management about all of this and what can President 20 00:00:52,119 --> 00:00:55,880 Trump's team do to truly revolutionize our economy. We'll get 21 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,280 started with the help of God Almighty. 22 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,799 Speaker 5: It was one disapproved by big pharma technocrats and tyrone 23 00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:13,120 s everywhere from the hind mountains of Free American. Here's 24 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:18,400 the Emerald City exile. Todd to herman. 25 00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:23,879 Speaker 1: Today is a day the Lord has made in These 26 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,439 are the times to which God has decided who shall live. 27 00:01:27,159 --> 00:01:30,560 Zach Abraham joins us normally on video, but Zach is 28 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,680 actually in the vault at Fort Knox inspecting our gold, 29 00:01:34,719 --> 00:01:37,120 and they wouldn't let you take video. But thanks for 30 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:38,840 joining us from the vault in Fort Knox. 31 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,719 Speaker 3: Zach, well, no worries, And what they weren't what they 32 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,760 didn't see is I slipped a couple of bricks in 33 00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:46,000 my pocket for your pals. 34 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 4: So I've got a little got a little uh, got 35 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:49,560 a little deal. 36 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 3: The only problem is is that while sticking him in there, 37 00:01:53,079 --> 00:01:56,680 they scraped the zipper and there was some paint that 38 00:01:56,799 --> 00:01:59,760 scraped off. I didn't realize they painted gold, but apparently 39 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:00,200 they do. 40 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: I don't know what that would be about, but we'll 41 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,120 look into that later. Maybe it's a special kind. 42 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:05,879 Speaker 4: Of old gold. 43 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: It says that, Yeah, what do you think of a 44 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:13,039 nine point five billion this year in California just to 45 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,960 house illegal immigrants? Just this year? 46 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 4: So what? 47 00:02:19,879 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 3: Watching the quote unquote outrage for lack of a better term, 48 00:02:25,159 --> 00:02:29,560 over this whole doage process has really led me to believe. 49 00:02:31,759 --> 00:02:35,240 I'll admit some naivete here, meaning I thought it would 50 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,840 go a little differently historically. When I thought about the 51 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,039 moment we finally started tackling all the ridiculous government wastes 52 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,240 and spending, I thought it would go differently. I thought 53 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,800 it would sound different. I think all of this comes 54 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,159 down to one simple thing. Do we have enough people 55 00:02:52,199 --> 00:02:56,680 in this country that aren't self obsessed and or just 56 00:02:57,599 --> 00:03:01,360 playing stupid? Do we have enough people that aren't either 57 00:03:01,439 --> 00:03:05,479 one of those to understand that there will be some 58 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:11,919 unpleasant aspects to raining in our budget or maybe we don't. 59 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,039 Speaker 4: And what we're going to find. 60 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 3: Out is do we have enough people that are saying 61 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,400 and have the logic capabilities of a normal thirty five 62 00:03:19,479 --> 00:03:23,599 year old, Because when you start talking about we spend 63 00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:24,120 too much? 64 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 4: Right there? Were there? 65 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 3: You know, nobody goes on a budget because it's fun, right, 66 00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:33,560 You do it because it's responsible. So you see things 67 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,840 like this, right this nine and a half billion on 68 00:03:36,919 --> 00:03:38,639 illegal immigrants. 69 00:03:38,199 --> 00:03:42,319 Speaker 4: This year and this year one year alone, and you 70 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,439 go were I mean, and again, this is not news. 71 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 3: I mean, all of us that listen to this show 72 00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:51,280 probably you know, are obviously aware of this, but you 73 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,159 know you're looking around at these people, and it's gotten 74 00:03:53,199 --> 00:03:54,599 to the point. I think you and I have talked 75 00:03:54,639 --> 00:03:57,120 about this before. You know, you're looking at the California 76 00:03:57,199 --> 00:04:01,039 voters and you're going, hey, guys, look, I understand if 77 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,680 you want to like you know, your dye pink, you know, calming, 78 00:04:04,759 --> 00:04:05,520 sympathize whatever. 79 00:04:05,759 --> 00:04:07,199 Speaker 4: I understand that ideology. 80 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,599 Speaker 3: But I can guarantee you this, you can find democrats 81 00:04:10,599 --> 00:04:13,560 in your state that can run your government significantly more confidently, 82 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,639 right like you know, you know, you don't have to 83 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,279 wear a maga hat and be all about the Second 84 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,639 Amendment in order for your state not to burn down, 85 00:04:24,199 --> 00:04:27,680 right like you like, there there's a happy medium in 86 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,759 here somewhere, And I'm just watching this whole thing, this 87 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:36,519 whole horror right this din of all of this spending 88 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,839 now and we're too And then I'm sitting there going now, 89 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,240 the threat to democracy is balancing our budget, like yep, 90 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,439 But I I uh, you know, I like to think 91 00:04:47,519 --> 00:04:50,720 that the stupidity and arrogance and and and then the other. 92 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 4: Part of it is this self focused part. 93 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 3: You know, you have to have these ery dyte intellectual 94 00:04:56,759 --> 00:05:00,279 types that are all the way they're going about this 95 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,800 is an attractive and you look at them and go, hey, guys, 96 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,759 we've been promised about ending government spending for thirty five 97 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,759 or every election that I can remember since I've been 98 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,240 a child, and I was bizarrely attentive to politics. That 99 00:05:13,319 --> 00:05:15,600 probably comes to no surprise to most people that have 100 00:05:15,639 --> 00:05:18,680 listened to me before. But you know, like I remember 101 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,199 the night did George W. Bush or George hw Bush 102 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:23,240 beat Michael Dacacus. 103 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 4: I was six years old. I still remember it like 104 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:25,519 it was yesterday. 105 00:05:26,959 --> 00:05:29,519 Speaker 3: I've heard it at the cornerstone of virtually every election 106 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,319 my entire life. I've heard of them talk about tackling 107 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:37,519 government spending. And I'm looking around now and I'm like, hey, guys, yeah, 108 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,360 maybe maybe they can do it a little bit different 109 00:05:39,399 --> 00:05:41,680 here or there, But I don't know. If you're keeping 110 00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:45,839 up on current events, it's actually getting tackled. So why 111 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,519 don't you quit griping about the manner in which it's 112 00:05:48,519 --> 00:05:51,800 getting done? As long as it's legal, right, obviously it's 113 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,920 got to be. But why don't you quit griping about 114 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,319 the manner in which it's done and just enjoy the 115 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,600 fact that somebody finally has the gravitas and the lack 116 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:05,480 of concern about what the the mainstream media is going 117 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,160 to say to tackle something that every president in my 118 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,399 lifetime has proven to not have the spine or the 119 00:06:12,399 --> 00:06:13,279 backgroone to tackle. 120 00:06:13,439 --> 00:06:15,399 Speaker 1: So totally totally will said. 121 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 3: And it's just it just it just amazes me, you know, 122 00:06:19,959 --> 00:06:22,920 Like I was saying, there's also that intellectual aspect of well, 123 00:06:22,959 --> 00:06:25,160 I can't I'm going to pretend like I'm a centrist. 124 00:06:25,439 --> 00:06:28,000 But it's amazing how much of this stuff. I would 125 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,759 sit there and go, well, I actually think Biden's doing 126 00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:33,680 a pretty good job. And now and now after four weeks, 127 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,759 it's Trump is the next Hitler and this is just 128 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,600 a giant. I mean, these people, it's just it's just 129 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,600 it's it's like politics to a soap opera. 130 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 4: Man, It's just pathetic, it is. 131 00:06:43,319 --> 00:06:45,399 Speaker 1: And I want to talk about some ways that he 132 00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:48,319 can revolutionize this, and I think you just said job one. 133 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,920 I think you just said the number one way he 134 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,600 can revolutionize this is to not care what the mockingbird 135 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,439 media says and to come out and recognize there's going 136 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,600 to be pain. And I think most people know this. 137 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,680 I would share something with you her to second Zach, 138 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,439 and it has to do with the pain that's come 139 00:07:02,439 --> 00:07:04,639 out of the Social Secure administration, and a guy just 140 00:07:04,639 --> 00:07:07,040 decided to try to help Elon Muskin Doze. I'll tell 141 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,079 you what happened in a second, and we'll talk about 142 00:07:09,079 --> 00:07:12,040 social Security in ways it could be revolutionized. To revolutionize 143 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,800 this economy, you can revolutionize your own health. If you 144 00:07:15,879 --> 00:07:20,480 have been suffering from really bad inflammation, you've probably been 145 00:07:20,519 --> 00:07:22,160 making it worse. I'm gonna make you a bet that 146 00:07:22,279 --> 00:07:24,959 you are an inflammation maker in your body. First of all, 147 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,120 sugar in any amounts, but particularly high amounts. That'll bring inflammation. 148 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,600 But I'll tell you something else. You probably fight it 149 00:07:31,639 --> 00:07:33,680 with iberprofen, And I'm going to look you in the 150 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,040 eye and tell you that's exactly the wrong thing to do. 151 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,120 And I'm going to tell you something else. You've been 152 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,079 getting ripped off. Every time you eat iyberprofen. You cause inflammation. 153 00:07:42,279 --> 00:07:45,240 You numb the symptoms, but you cause the inflammation, meaning 154 00:07:45,279 --> 00:07:48,439 you eat more iboprofen. You might have tried omega threes, 155 00:07:48,759 --> 00:07:51,839 good for you. You haven't tried the best blend. If 156 00:07:51,879 --> 00:07:54,040 you're just eating fish to get your mega threes. Look, 157 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,240 I'm a pescatarian. I actually like fish and It's a 158 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,360 great source of protein for me, but it is only 159 00:07:59,399 --> 00:08:02,199 fifty percent as absorbable as what you get out of 160 00:08:02,279 --> 00:08:05,399 native path Antarctic krill that also comes from the cleanest 161 00:08:05,399 --> 00:08:08,800 waters in the world seventy three miles off the Arctic coast. Furthermore, 162 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,680 it is far far more absorbable. As I said. In 163 00:08:12,759 --> 00:08:15,800 a study, twenty eight percent of people reported no information 164 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,879 in a matter of weeks. Sixty percent reduction in blood 165 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,560 clots in another study because it destroys information by producing 166 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,680 better blood flow in your body. So go fix this 167 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,519 for real. Drop the ibuprof and pick up this superfood 168 00:08:28,519 --> 00:08:31,519 from the Antarctic.

Leland Dudek's boss put him on leave 178 00:08:54,799 --> 00:08:58,200 for helping Doge find fraud. They want to find it, 179 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,840 they want to fire me, He wrote, confess, I helped 180 00:09:00,879 --> 00:09:04,399 Doge understand the Social Security Administration. Within hours, it was 181 00:09:04,399 --> 00:09:07,759 his boss who was fired. Longtime Social Security wastewatcher was 182 00:09:07,799 --> 00:09:11,000 elevated to lead the whole agency. Hey, I love the 183 00:09:11,039 --> 00:09:12,759 fact that they took this guy who was willing to 184 00:09:12,799 --> 00:09:15,799 help Doge understand the Social Security Administration. They have them 185 00:09:15,799 --> 00:09:19,120 in charge of the agency, and he was actually put 186 00:09:19,159 --> 00:09:22,639 on notice and threatened with being firing for helping the 187 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,480 guy who's doing what basically amounts to forensic accounting. Am 188 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,840 I wrong? Or is what Elon Musk is doing really 189 00:09:28,879 --> 00:09:31,879 just a fancy, well done version of forensic accounting that 190 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,080 anyone would do if they took over a huge organization. 191 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, no, you're exactly right. 192 00:09:36,399 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 3: And it's also it's also moral right like and and 193 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,320 what I mean by that is when you are using 194 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,679 taxpayer money, right, every single every single public servant, every 195 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,240 single government employee, even if they didn't even if they 196 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,360 weren't elected by default, they've effectively taken the oath of 197 00:09:54,399 --> 00:09:58,840 the Constitution of the American people. Right, So when you 198 00:09:58,879 --> 00:10:02,559 are when you are just lighting money on fire, which 199 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,559 the way they and people really need to understand this, 200 00:10:05,639 --> 00:10:09,720 because when you run into this it's it's like they say, 201 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,559 you think our whole government's evil, and you go, no, no, 202 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,679 I understand the way government works. 203 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 4: You don't. 204 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 3: And you and I have had this conversation before, I 205 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,679 generally and pretty much all the time, and in favor 206 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,639 of a smaller government. It's not because I think that 207 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,120 government bureaucrats are evil. It's not because I think they 208 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,279 intend poorly. It's because I think that the entire structure 209 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,799 is built around getting re elected. So by definition, being 210 00:10:34,799 --> 00:10:39,000 efficient and being good at what you're doing is an afterthought, right, 211 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,120 And anybody that knows anything about success knows that when 212 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:46,039 you're solely myopically focused on getting the job done, it's 213 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,799 still hard. If you're not focused on getting a job done, 214 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:49,559 it's impossible. 215 00:10:49,919 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 5: Right. 216 00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:57,159 Speaker 3: So you're literally asking a blind dog to go duck hunting, right, It's. 217 00:10:56,879 --> 00:10:59,399 Speaker 4: It literally, it literally is impossible. 218 00:10:59,639 --> 00:11:01,759 Speaker 3: The other thing that these people need to know is 219 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,039 that guy at the Social Security Department almost guarantee you 220 00:11:06,159 --> 00:11:09,559 his main motivation in doing that and shutting that down. 221 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,679 Why would you shut down cost savings? Because any time 222 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:17,320 you can save a government department money, you are threatening 223 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,320 the person that is ascended to the leadership position of 224 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:25,600 that department. The increased budget, increased headcount is increased power 225 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:30,559 and control. Remember it's not a company, so increased profit is. 226 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:35,279 And what gets you promoted increased responsibility is how do 227 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,759 you increase responsibility by increasing headcount? How do you increase 228 00:11:38,759 --> 00:11:43,679 headcount by increasing budget? So literally the career progression of 229 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:49,440 these bureaucrats is dependent on increased inefficient spending, right like, 230 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,480 it's that that's what helps them get there. And so 231 00:11:53,879 --> 00:11:58,559 what Trump did, it's so beautiful to watch this kind 232 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,320 of thing. Because I haven't had a chance to read 233 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,960 this story. I saw a headline on it. But from 234 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,519 my understanding, he fired the guy's boss and then elevated the. 235 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,919 Speaker 1: Guy right, exactly right, exactly right, And that that's a culture. 236 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,159 Speaker 3: That's a free market, yeah, that's a free market move right, 237 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:14,960 that's a that's a corporate move yes. 238 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,159 Speaker 1: And it's also this he's showing people in DC. To me, 239 00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:22,440 this is economically revolutionary. In DC, He's showing people there's 240 00:12:22,519 --> 00:12:25,559 a new way to be a leader, and that is 241 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,000 to you come in and you work with us to 242 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,039 cut the fraud and the abuse, and a lot of 243 00:12:31,039 --> 00:12:34,120 this is is endemic to what she just describe zac 244 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,200 that power is headcount. I think that the culture change 245 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,639 is perhaps the biggest most revolutionary thing President Trump could 246 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,279 do for our economy. You're describing a change in overall 247 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,320 psychological incentive, right yeah, And. 248 00:12:49,919 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 3: You know, like he's bringing this crazy new idea that 249 00:12:54,159 --> 00:12:57,000 if you're good at your job, we're gonna move. 250 00:12:56,879 --> 00:13:00,799 Speaker 4: You ahead, right right, So say, but you're but you're right. 251 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,840 It is a nethma in that, And that's what's so cool, 252 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,039 And that's what I think the critics are missing. Look 253 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,200 at that. You're watching your like that's a military move. 254 00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 3: That's like a classic military leadership move where the young 255 00:13:12,039 --> 00:13:15,159 private comes up. He's like, hey, sir, we should be 256 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,200 attacking from this side over here. Look at the coverage 257 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,320 We've got their machine gun can't pivot this angle right. 258 00:13:21,279 --> 00:13:22,879 Speaker 4: All that, And he looks at me. He goes, who's your 259 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,480 leading commander? And he goes that guy right over there, 260 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:26,519 and he goes, where does he want you to go? 261 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:27,039 Right over there? 262 00:13:27,039 --> 00:13:30,159 Speaker 3: And he goes, all right, he's immediately demoted. You're you've 263 00:13:30,159 --> 00:13:33,799 shown leadership and accountability and taking the initiative, right, that's 264 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,519 you don't see these things happening government, to see that 265 00:13:36,639 --> 00:13:41,200 happening government to get more efficient. There you go thinka 266 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,759 think how often you can replicate. 267 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:45,639 Speaker 4: That one move he just made? 268 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,919 Speaker 3: And then you and I both know good leadership can 269 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,440 take a department that's, you know, completely burning forty or 270 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,519 fifty percent of the capitol and can cut that number 271 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,159 in half in an extraordinarily short period of time. 272 00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 4: So I man, I just love. 273 00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:01,759 Speaker 1: That to a degree. And there's another thing that they found. 274 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:07,440 Elon Musk's team found four point seven million credit cards 275 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,000 that government employees had, and there was something that if 276 00:14:11,039 --> 00:14:13,480 you ever looked at the small print if you ever 277 00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:17,320 had a Microsoft Corporates AMX, if you ever looked at 278 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,600 the small print of your corp X, there was something 279 00:14:20,799 --> 00:14:24,120 really really interesting in there. And it's not in government 280 00:14:24,519 --> 00:14:26,279 credit card agreements, and it should be. And I'll tell 281 00:14:26,279 --> 00:14:27,919 you about this in a second, Zach, because I think you're 282 00:14:27,919 --> 00:14:30,360 gonna agree this is another thing we could do to 283 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,960 revolutionize the economy.

So they found Zach four 321 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:33,080 point seven million corporate or government credit cards where employees 322 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,320 get to charge, get to finance things on behalf of 323 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,519 the government four point seven million, and Microsoft. If you 324 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,080 got to travel, I do remember how they did it. 325 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,559 But you got to a certain point where you got 326 00:16:43,559 --> 00:16:46,399 a corp X and if you read the small print, 327 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,279 and I did, when you got a corporate MX, they 328 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,440 checked your credit and I remember going, okay, this is interesting. 329 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,919 They're checking my credit to give me a credit card 330 00:16:56,039 --> 00:16:59,639 on behalf of Microsoft. Why are they checking my credit? 331 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,000 So I went through and looked, and here was the 332 00:17:02,039 --> 00:17:05,039 funny thing, Zach. If you submitted something and it was 333 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,720 not approved, if you charge something and it was not approved, 334 00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:12,119 you got to appeal. And if that didn't work, you 335 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,559 got a second appeal. And if that didn't work, the 336 00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:18,519 company says you owe us the money, and that is 337 00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:21,240 not in these agreements with these corporate credit cards. So 338 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,920 what are your thoughts on four point seven million government 339 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:29,039 credit cards in the hands of bureaucrats. 340 00:17:29,599 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, you know, uh yeah, are you talking 341 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,279 about the same people that racked up thirty seven brillion 342 00:17:37,319 --> 00:17:37,680 in debt? 343 00:17:38,519 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 4: I mean I I yeah, not a good, not a good. 344 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 3: I mean, look, how do I feel about handing five 345 00:17:45,279 --> 00:17:47,799 cases of jack Daniels to the Winyl on the street corner. 346 00:17:48,079 --> 00:17:49,839 Speaker 4: Not not very good. 347 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: Okay, what controls are common in the corporate world? Was 348 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,680 the Microsoft thing uncommon or no? 349 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 3: No, yeah, that's that's that's that's sop man standard standard 350 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,400 operation and procedure. And and you know the way the 351 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,279 reason they do that is see and this is this 352 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:09,960 is yet another example of you have these inverse setups. 353 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,680 Whatever corporate America is doing to verify or or or 354 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,799 or to properly protect shareholder value, government officials should be 355 00:18:17,839 --> 00:18:22,759 doing at least that amount. Right, the fiduciary responsibility is 356 00:18:22,799 --> 00:18:27,359 nowhere near the legal implications of a sworn oath and 357 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:28,680 allegiance to the Constitution. 358 00:18:29,079 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 4: I mean, what is going on here? 359 00:18:30,599 --> 00:18:32,839 Speaker 3: Right? You violate that oath to the Constitution and your 360 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,680 charge you should be charge with sedition right like and 361 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,960 and and you know, you violate a corporate credit agreement, 362 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,680 maybe a looser job, maybe you got to pay it. 363 00:18:41,759 --> 00:18:44,440 I mean, it's just this is the perfect example to 364 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:50,039 me of how government has somehow avoided the progress and 365 00:18:50,079 --> 00:18:53,759 the evolution and the safeguards that even corporate America has 366 00:18:53,799 --> 00:18:57,079 when it comes to you know, being good stewards and 367 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,559 properly allocating shareholder capital. None of those stands. It's applyed 368 00:19:00,559 --> 00:19:03,400 to government officials. It's just shocking. And then you sit 369 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,920 there and go, well, why is there all this waste? 370 00:19:07,319 --> 00:19:08,720 And you go are you are you kidding me? 371 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:09,079 Speaker 5: Right? 372 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 3: Like, if you want to, if you want to, let's 373 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,039 let's do a little experiment this weekend, all right. Don't 374 00:19:15,279 --> 00:19:18,960 don't put any limits on what your kids eat, don't 375 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,160 put any limits on when and how they access that food. 376 00:19:22,519 --> 00:19:25,279 Don't make them clean up their mess. And let's on 377 00:19:25,519 --> 00:19:28,599 Sunday evening, go through the kitchen. See A if it's cleaned, 378 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,599 c B if there isn't a lot of wasted food. 379 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 4: And when you. 380 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,039 Speaker 3: Find out that the place is a mess and there's 381 00:19:35,039 --> 00:19:37,119 all kinds of wasted food and things that have been 382 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,839 left down, don't be surprised. Why that's what they do, right, 383 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,559 And unless there's oversight and accountability, well, the same is 384 00:19:44,599 --> 00:19:48,839 true most people. And you know that's what makes this 385 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,960 that's you know, it sounds so simple. You and I 386 00:19:52,039 --> 00:19:56,000 laugh about this offline, but hiring good people as a 387 00:19:56,039 --> 00:19:58,319 business owner, it's the hardest thing you do, and it's 388 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,119 the most valuable part of your business. And my company 389 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,400 is no exception, and we focus well, we're hiring people. Man, 390 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,000 we focus as tight, we scrutinize as hard as we 391 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,319 possibly can. And when you do it that way, when 392 00:20:12,319 --> 00:20:14,960 it's your single focus, it's still hard and you're still 393 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,920 going to miss on some iyres. Right when you're not 394 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,920 looking at those things, it's some pot when it's not. 395 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,480 When you don't look at those things, that's one of 396 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,400 the ways you end up with thirty seven tillion dollars 397 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:26,720 in debt. 398 00:20:26,759 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: Well, and then there's this as well. D I look, 399 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,599 you can make an argument for yeah, let's have a 400 00:20:31,599 --> 00:20:37,680 diverse hiring base. Great, that means to me, diverse backgrounds, educations, languages, 401 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,640 cultural development, the ways they learn, et cetera. But it's 402 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,559 not skin color. We know that's a big game when you, 403 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,960 in fact steer an organization towards no, do not look 404 00:20:48,039 --> 00:20:51,319 at the capabilities, look at the color, and then give 405 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,799 them credit cards that they can charge whatever. I'm like, 406 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,319 it's you know what's insane, Zach. That Now the defense, 407 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,480 here's what we're hearing about the fifty million that went 408 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,640 to the Politico. You wont know how that's being defended. 409 00:21:03,079 --> 00:21:05,119 Is people in DC is saying, but that was for 410 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:10,079 subscriptions to Politico pro. Oh wait, so you took our 411 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,000 money and gave it to a commercial organization so you 412 00:21:13,039 --> 00:21:16,400 could read about happenings in governments and you work for governments. 413 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:17,759 That's it? 414 00:21:18,519 --> 00:21:21,759 Speaker 3: And oh right the way, I'm sure the fact can 415 00:21:21,799 --> 00:21:28,559 I also get I would like to subpoena Politico's subscription rules, Dave, 416 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,880 because I'm willing to make you bet that there is 417 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:35,000 not one single client they have that did in form 418 00:21:35,039 --> 00:21:38,000 of subscription revenue accounts for even fifty percent of. 419 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 4: What the US government does. 420 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 3: Well degree, Okay, so you don't think, Yeah, I'm old 421 00:21:45,519 --> 00:21:47,480 enough to remember when I like, one of the battle 422 00:21:47,519 --> 00:21:49,960 crists for liberals was get money out of politics. How 423 00:21:50,039 --> 00:21:52,200 is this an exception? How is this an exception to that? 424 00:21:52,559 --> 00:21:54,279 Why is this any different? 425 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,599 Speaker 1: This is the most bizarre time in economic history, or 426 00:21:57,599 --> 00:22:01,319 in fact, in political cultural history, because you're watching government 427 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,720 officials say, wait, I'm in favor of waste, fraud abuse, right, 428 00:22:04,759 --> 00:22:07,720 Wait a minute, I'm against free speeches one other thing. 429 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,519 And you may have seen this headline. I'm going to 430 00:22:10,599 --> 00:22:14,079 ask you if I'm overreacting to this, because I think 431 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:18,279 this is the top way to revolutionize the American economy. 432 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,000 I'll share this with you in just a second. Tech 433 00:22:20,039 --> 00:22:22,920 aprons with us. Obviously, you know, not on video today. 434 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,640 We've had a tech issue, totally our fault. We'll get 435 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:26,880 that works set next time, so you can look at 436 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,880 Zach's beautiful, beautiful face. Zach's beautiful face is beautiful because 437 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,440 he takes care of himself. He like me, is a 438 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,000 bit of an exercise fanatic, and he, like me, is 439 00:22:36,039 --> 00:22:38,599 super careful about what he eats. So at his age 440 00:22:38,599 --> 00:22:41,400 he looks great even for not his age. You could 441 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,160 optimize what everybody you have. You're ninety years old or 442 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,920 you're twenty, you can optimize it. But you need to 443 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,440 work with companies who know what they're doing. There's a 444 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,480 reason by optimizing. This has been around for so many decades. Okay, 445 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,720 it's because of this. They don't private label stuff and 446 00:22:55,799 --> 00:22:59,039 call it their own. They don't take junk products and 447 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,519 buy it and rename. They have a lab. They construct 448 00:23:02,519 --> 00:23:06,680 these products with themselves. As the first experiments. Wade and 449 00:23:06,759 --> 00:23:10,920 Matt always used the products, and when they use them, 450 00:23:11,279 --> 00:23:13,920 they sometimes go back and say not ready for primetime. 451 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,039 Case in point, they kept trying to get mushroom break 452 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:21,759 Through right six types of mushrooms in super high concentration 453 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,440 to help you retain memories better for your brain to focus, 454 00:23:26,519 --> 00:23:30,880 better for your processing speed to be faster. They did 455 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,799 that because Matt Wade started to notice, dang it, I 456 00:23:33,839 --> 00:23:36,200 lose my car keys all the time. I forget people's names. 457 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,440 It's never happened to me. They got a brain scan. 458 00:23:38,559 --> 00:23:40,680 Each of them got brain scans, and look at that 459 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,799 their short term memory areas were all a mess. They 460 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,920 tried a whole bunch of approaches to mushrooms and it worked, 461 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,319 but they went to their scientists and said, Nope, not right, 462 00:23:49,519 --> 00:23:53,680 not right. Finally they got to the point where one 463 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,640 scoop of this is the equivalent of about eighteen pounds 464 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,480 of mushrooms in a day. Dig that you're not going 465 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,920 to eat eighteen pounds of mushrooms, but you get the 466 00:24:03,039 --> 00:24:07,440 same exact results with mushroom Breakthrough. That's one example of 467 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,000 one product. My suggestion is go look at the entire 468 00:24:10,079 --> 00:24:13,319 product categories, all of them, match them to your needs 469 00:24:13,319 --> 00:24:16,799 in life, and then subscribe.

Zach, I'm going to read you 477 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,119 aheadline and I'm going to suggest that this cultural change 478 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,279 might be the number one way to revolutionize the American economy. 479 00:24:44,279 --> 00:24:48,519 This comes from CNBC Unemployment spikes in Washington, d C. 480 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,720 As Trump and must begin efforts to shrink the government. 481 00:24:52,079 --> 00:24:56,400 It's not just small numbers of or small percentages of 482 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,880 government workers. It's large numbers but small percentages. It's the 483 00:25:00,279 --> 00:25:04,400 NGO's laying people off. It's lobbying firms finally having layoffs. 484 00:25:04,799 --> 00:25:08,359 It's companies that serve those companies laying people off. It 485 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,799 is the first time DC in recent years has ever 486 00:25:11,839 --> 00:25:15,119 seen anything like this, Zach, I submit to you that 487 00:25:15,319 --> 00:25:19,039 forcing these people to feel what unemployment feels like is 488 00:25:19,079 --> 00:25:22,000 a massive and important way to revolutionize our economy. Am 489 00:25:22,039 --> 00:25:22,839 I overstating that? 490 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 5: No? 491 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,839 Speaker 4: And it's the way that things are supposed to work. 492 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,039 Speaker 3: Right, So Facebook laid off thirty five hundred people, and 493 00:25:32,079 --> 00:25:34,799 I don't hear an outcry and Dan and I don't 494 00:25:34,799 --> 00:25:35,880 see any protests over that? 495 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:37,079 Speaker 5: Why? 496 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 4: Why why is it any different? Why is it any different? 497 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 5: In government? 498 00:25:40,839 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 4: Look at Look? Why don't we go look at. 499 00:25:42,799 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 3: What's happened in government employment roles over the last twenty years. Look, 500 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,480 And here's the frustrating part, Todd. And this is something 501 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,319 else I've learned. I used to think, for the most part, 502 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,000 that guys like you and I sat down and looked 503 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,920 at these issues and are good friends on the opposite 504 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,960 side of the issues. I used to think that I 505 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,400 don't understand how these people are looking at the same 506 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,880 thing I am and come to different conclusions. What I 507 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,200 have learned is they're not looking at the same things 508 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,319 we are. They're just turning on the idiot box and 509 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,079 just listening to whatever gets downloaded in their head. And 510 00:26:17,519 --> 00:26:20,359 that's that's that's it, right, Like, that's that's what they 511 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,759 react to, that's what they think. And when I realized that, 512 00:26:23,759 --> 00:26:27,319 it really helped me. That realization came listening to Mark 513 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,839 Andreesen get interviewed by Tucker Carlson, and I listened to 514 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,920 him lay out exactly how that happened to him. Here's 515 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,119 this brilliant right billionaire investor and in recent is brilliant, 516 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:41,200 brilliant guy, even he fell into that trap, you know, 517 00:26:41,279 --> 00:26:43,480 and you sit there and you go, Okay. When I 518 00:26:43,599 --> 00:26:47,799 think about this, it makes sense because how could there 519 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,839 be outcry over this? How could you support a party 520 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,880 where one of their elected leaders in Congress stands up 521 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,599 recently and says, we know that Americans. 522 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 4: Are for censorship right. 523 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 3: The only way you can believe that, and the only 524 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,839 way you do is if you don't understand the issues. 525 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,160 Speaker 4: I'll give you another example. 526 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 3: I have talked to multiple people about the law here 527 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,319 in the state of Washington, the most despicable law I've 528 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,400 ever seen past in any state in my entire life, 529 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,440 about being able to take your kids. And I've talked 530 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,799 to multiple people that supported that law. They didn't know 531 00:27:24,839 --> 00:27:28,279 what was in the law. They still don't. They they 532 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,480 didn't know, and they looked at me and they were 533 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,079 like they kind of had this conversation where they're like, well, 534 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:34,200 where did you find that out? 535 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 4: I've got to check that. I go, it's in the legislation. 536 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,000 Just it's right there. You didn't read it, you didn't listen. 537 00:27:40,319 --> 00:27:41,759 They're like, well, that's not how it works. I go, 538 00:27:41,799 --> 00:27:42,839 that's exactly how it works. 539 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, And you just realized that you've got about five 540 00:27:48,279 --> 00:27:51,359 percent of that movement actually knows what's going on, and 541 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,079 the rest of them just take just take marching orders, right. 542 00:27:54,559 --> 00:27:58,759 Speaker 4: And I know that we all know that cognitively. 543 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,559 Speaker 3: But I think to really take that, I think it 544 00:28:00,599 --> 00:28:03,400 can help, like you, not lose your mind and feel 545 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,200 like you're insane, but also realize what we're up against 546 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,079 and why what Trump is doing is so important. I 547 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,240 think the biggest thing that we need to do is 548 00:28:11,279 --> 00:28:14,480 wake the average person up to what is actually going on. 549 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 1: Agreed, right, And this is this is they've they've done 550 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,640 a good job of taking about twenty eight percent of 551 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,079 the country who hates President Trump and will always hate 552 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:24,880 them and there's nothing we can do about it, and 553 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,799 that's never going to change. But here's something that's happening 554 00:28:27,799 --> 00:28:32,079 to independence. I guarantee this is happening. Independents are watching 555 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:36,359 this and going, wait a second, so you're against downsizing governments. 556 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,200 Independents are looking at this saying, wait a minute, I 557 00:28:39,279 --> 00:28:42,559 lost my job during the COVID lockdowns. You didn't protest. 558 00:28:43,079 --> 00:28:46,240 Wait a minute, my friends had their small businesses shut down. 559 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,160 Wait a second, I see factory layoffs all the time. 560 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,079 Wait a minute. I just read that Facebook late up 561 00:28:51,079 --> 00:28:53,319 thirty five hundred people and no one cared. But when 562 00:28:53,359 --> 00:28:55,799 it's government, independences are looking at it, that's going wow, 563 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,720 the media really hates us. Or you're looking at now 564 00:29:00,039 --> 00:29:04,039 there's a decrease Zach ninety four percent decrease in border 565 00:29:04,359 --> 00:29:08,279 encounters with the legal immigrants compared to the previous year, 566 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:14,119 almost one hundred percent decrease. Independents are looking at this, Wow, 567 00:29:14,319 --> 00:29:18,799 border enforcement works. Wow, threatening to deport people works. And 568 00:29:18,839 --> 00:29:21,519 you have the mockingbird media running every SOB story they 569 00:29:21,559 --> 00:29:24,240 can find, and independents are looking at this going wow, 570 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,480 they really don't want the border secured. Or you get this, 571 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:31,000 this is just new today. Jasmin Crockett the least intelligent, 572 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,880 and apparently the Democrats want her to be the spokesperson 573 00:29:34,279 --> 00:29:38,720 for their movement. Jasmin Crockett said today on a podcast 574 00:29:38,799 --> 00:29:41,759 she's rooting for Canada to beat the garbage out of 575 00:29:41,799 --> 00:29:45,279 America in this hockey series because America apparently needs to 576 00:29:45,279 --> 00:29:47,279 come up and independents look at this and go, wow, 577 00:29:47,319 --> 00:29:49,799 you kind of been root for a hockey team. So 578 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,599 I'll tell you what, Zach All. This job that they've 579 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,400 been doing to make people think that President Trump is 580 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:59,279 literal hitler, I predict that they are turning independence in 581 00:29:59,319 --> 00:30:00,880 the megahead. What do you think. 582 00:30:02,519 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 3: I think in long if these guys stay on points 583 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,799 and keep their hands clean, I think that there is 584 00:30:09,839 --> 00:30:13,319 no other conclusion to come to. But you know, I 585 00:30:13,359 --> 00:30:16,720 will say this again, and it worries me because. 586 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 4: We saw evidence. You know, we saw this happen. 587 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 3: In the first in the first Trump term, which was, Man, 588 00:30:24,319 --> 00:30:26,720 you don't have to chase every bar, every car, you 589 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,000 don't have to bark at every passing car, and stay focused, 590 00:30:30,039 --> 00:30:33,039 stay on point. And then the other thing is, like 591 00:30:33,079 --> 00:30:34,960 you and I have talked about before, Man, when I 592 00:30:35,279 --> 00:30:37,079 you know, when I brought up that stuff about you know, 593 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,240 Trump and Milangna in the coins. I'm not accusing them 594 00:30:40,279 --> 00:30:43,559 of anything, And honestly, I don't think I don't know them, 595 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,279 but I don't think that that had anything to do 596 00:30:45,319 --> 00:30:47,960 with them making money. That's my personal belief or assessment 597 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,359 of it. At the same time, they're doing. When I 598 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,519 see what when I see the flat this guy is 599 00:30:54,519 --> 00:30:58,519 willing to take, and the depths at which he is 600 00:30:58,559 --> 00:31:02,359 willing to wade into this, my first thought immediately is, 601 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,960 don't do anything to screw this up, man, Don't do 602 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:10,319 anything to rob you of the moral authority to continue 603 00:31:10,319 --> 00:31:13,759 this job. Right, you cannot be compromised. And I'm just 604 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,240 keeping my fingers crossed and praying for man, just hoping 605 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:20,440 that they stay on track, do not get swayed. And 606 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,720 you know, I get nervous when I see the Trump 607 00:31:22,839 --> 00:31:25,519 sons getting appointed to all the boards of these companies. 608 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,119 Speaker 4: Agree, agree, It makes me nervous. 609 00:31:29,559 --> 00:31:32,359 Speaker 1: It should, And it makes me nervous when I see 610 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,319 things like the TikTok deal getting done with a bunch 611 00:31:35,359 --> 00:31:38,160 of Trump insiders and somebody's going to get to buy 612 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:42,480 the American affiliate at this at half price. I hate it. 613 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,920 And I'll be honest, I'd rather have the corruption done 614 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,079 in the open, because we can look right there at it. 615 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,400 There's the corruption, and the corruption being done in the background. 616 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,839 At least we get to judge the corruption. So always 617 00:31:54,839 --> 00:31:56,480 great to have you here, my friend. Great to see 618 00:31:56,519 --> 00:32:00,160 you yesterday.
