I'd episode number 110. Whoa. Adam and I are reunited in the field. Re-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e is by Ameno Amapiano, remix single, Goya Menor and Nectunis.
I cannot stop listening to this song.
Well, when you get a song in your head,
you're not listening into a one's twilight.
No, not that.
You're going two days straight, 48 hours straight.
I'm going back to back to back to back
and that's the song I'm gonna listen to.
Anyways, how's your Christmas?
It was very low key.
Santa Claus came through.
And I saw Santa, I, you know,
I'm like a lonely Jew on Christmas. I was stared at my menorah, wondering what it's doing. I'm a low key. Santa Claus came through. I saw Santa, I, you know, I'm like a lonely Jew on Christmas.
I was stared at my menorah wondering what it's doing.
I'm curious, what is Santa for the 40 year old single man?
What does Santa look like?
Cause to me, Santa looks like a heavy set, you know,
man with white beard that comes to the kids.
What does Santa look like for you?
What's her name?
It's like, what's her name?
It's like, you ever see Billy Bob Thorn in bad Santa?
I just hung over there.
So what it is? The Shevel, shovel just my wife and kids left me. I'm an alcoholic
It's rough out there. Well, but you were in Montana. I was in Montana
We we by the way welcome back everybody. We've all been gone. I've been yeah
We've been off to entire week. We've been off the entire week. It's it is good to be back
I was in Montana at whitefish. Yeah. We rented this place.
We were right off the, what do you call it?
Skeet trail.
So you'd go off and you'd go on the Skeet trail,
the beautiful house.
They had just built it with the first family
that stayed at this house.
And we were with Saparla's Vargas's,
Sabatimani, Sam Mario, bunch of the things.
We had a great time.
What's phenomenal time?
Kids were skiing.
Who was the best gear?
Surprisingly so Senna. Shena. She learned how to
sleep back. She learned how to sleep back.
It's probably Senna, Dylan Snowboarding, Tico.
At this point, you can change.
No, I'm saying from everybody, adults, everybody included.
No, no, no, no, we put adults, everybody included.
I mean, it shouldn't impress you, but I was probably the best guy.
Hello!
By the way, the funny thing is, I'm not good.
That's pretty bad to say.
How was Saipala?
Saipala felt so bad.
Yeah, okay.
They almost, they created a warning in Avalanche.
That was how Saipala left them out there.
It was pretty bad.
It was pretty ugly.
Well, I told Saipala, because I lived in Denver for one year
and when I was doing stand-up comedy out there,
and we would go skiing on the weekends,
or I actually snowboard.
And I got the award for best athlete with normal sports,
and the worst athlete for X-game type sports.
I was the worst on the board.
I got you.
It's a Pala.
I don't know if he's ever really done snowboarding or skiing.
He hasn't.
And I said, Pala, your number one goal
is getting out of there, injury free.
He's like, oh, yeah, I'll be OK.
I'm like, dude, I'll be okay. I'm like dude
I'm telling you
skiing is like the place closed is tearing MCL for fun
By the way, we got a lot of things to cover with you guys here today one thing is today
I'm doing a debate debate in the afternoon with Alan Dershowitz and Kent
Heckin lively if you guys remember the book that came out plague of corruption that went live
When viral last year this book was ever it was number one on Amazon for like weeks.
The author of that book wrote a book called The Case Against
Vancs in Mandate and then Alan Dershowitz, who was Obama's attorney,
Obama's lawyer, professor, law professor.
Oh, Jay's lawyer.
No, no, no, no, school.
Yes.
Obama went to Harvard Law. Harvard Law. Professor was Alan Dershowitz and Alan was OJ's lawyer. Lawyer. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I think it's two o'clock Eastern Standard time in the afternoon. So one is debating pro vaccine. Meaning we should be able to be vaccine mandates.
And the other one is saying there's no way you can do it.
So the debate is revolving around mandates.
Mandates.
Exactly.
And just yesterday, Fauci said, we ought to consider mandating everyone
getting vaccinated to travel.
It's a big topic right now.
We'll have that debate in the afternoon.
That's this part.
Stay tuned on the business planning workshop. The date got changed. I lost have that debate in the afternoon. That's this part stay tuned.
On the business planning workshop, the day to got changed, I lost my voice out with 103
fever myself. To January 10th, we'll be hosting it here in Florida. You'll get the details.
Hundreds have registered already. Cannot wait to be with you guys. But I got a few charts
I want to show you. And I was spending a little bit more time with this whole thing that's
going on with, you know, a lot of people today got on the ground. They got COVID they got all this of CDC just announced today that
they're bringing back the quarantine time from the do you see this or no they they brought
it down from 10 days to five days. Cut it in half by the way.
It's brought from 10 days to five days. So if somebody has COVID right now rather than
being gone for 10 days now they can just be gone for five days quarantine and come back
to work. By the way speaking of if somebody's got COVID,
you know who's getting COVID right now?
Who's everybody?
Yeah.
Do you know somebody who's had a lady push
my face right here, had COVID?
Every, I don't want to put people on blast,
but I'll give you my little COVID synopsis.
This is the second time you had COVID.
So what's COVID 2.0 for you versus not a big deal?
Not a big deal.
And you got the antibodies or? I don't know. I understand if I'm the anti-bodies or.
I don't know.
I mean, I certainly don't have a great body, but I got some sort of body.
But the, I was it, there's a thing in Miami called art basil.
You were there for one day.
And it was in Miami, mostly outdoors.
People coming in from all over the world.
You know, basil, Switzerland is where it started.
So people coming in from Europe, from New York, California, Art art collectors, partiers. I would say it's half partiers and
half art people. And then they coalesced into my amines. It's a great experience. It's
awesome. I can't tell you how many of friends I personally know got COVID. But the typical
theme, because we had COVID a year ago, you lost like 20 pounds, you're a mess. I was
not good either. We were in Dallas at the time. We were just getting ready to move to Florida. This time around from beginning to end,
people got sick, quarantined, tested negative all within one week. And now if you see what's going
on in the NFL, everyone you know, everyone I know. Amen. I feel like shit. Everyone's texting.
A week later, tested negative. And now do you see what's going on? The NFL NBA, people are going to COVID left and right.
The MVP, Janice had to go in and out.
Now they're canceling bowl games.
The Miami Hurricanes, my beloved Miami Hurricanes,
they canceled the game, canceled, done.
So what they're basically saying,
even Fauci came out and said this
when he was being interviewed by my buddy Joe Scarborough
on Morning Joe, he said, this Omicron is very catchable.
What's the word?
It just contagious.
High are not scored.
Spreads quickly.
Spreads quickly.
Yeah, but it's not as serious.
Not as serious.
I didn't kill anybody.
Yeah.
I mean, it's not the Delta.
It's not the, the, the Alpha.
Which is good.
That's a sign of saying that it is going away.
It's a sign that the pandemic is,
the virus is getting weaker and weaker and it's going away.
Is that what that means?
That's the sign.
What a lot of virologists are saying is the fact that
as the virus gets weaker, it can spread,
but if it's getting weaker and it's not killing,
taking people's lives, that's a good sign.
We're going to write the right thing.
Here's what I could say about COVID.
And I don't think we're going to spend too much time
on getting into COVID.
When it first came out, whether I'm not trying to even be political right now, it was so
freaking new.
I remember walking in public seeing a lady wearing a mask.
This would have been the beginning of March thinking, what the hell is this lady doing?
I did like a Instagram story, like look at this weirdo.
And then it was so new.
And the media was hyping up so much. Trump was saying this. Democrats are
saying that. Fauci is saying this. It was so new. Nobody
knew what to make of it. So understandably so. People were
fearful. Or didn't, you know, no one really knew what was
going on. This time around, I think we can all conclusively
say, look, there's a 99 point, whatever percent chance,
you're not going to go to the hospital. You're not going to to die you're going to be all right, right? If you've got
Do you see the gallop pole that was done were to ask
Democrats what percentage of people that get COVID get hospitalized? Have you seen this gallop?
Yes, so galloped to the pole asking both Republicans and Democrats what percentage of people that get COVID get hospitalized?
You know what the Democrats answer? to pull asking both Republicans and Democrats, what percentage of people that get COVID get hospitalized?
You know what the Democrats answer?
Yeah, I did.
Fifty percent.
Yes.
Do you know what the real answer is?
One percent.
Exactly.
Okay, 50 percent to one percent.
But I want to take you to a different place.
So, do you know what percentage of people that got hospitalized
because of COVID were obese?
You know the number, right?
It's a very high percentage.
78 percent.
Or obese or had preexisting conditions? No, no obese. It's like 78 percent, okay? What that person is? It's a very high percentage. 78%. OBS or had preexisting conditions or not.
No, no. OBS.
Drickly OBS.
78%.
Okay.
What percentage of Americans are obese?
I want to say like 40% of Americans are obese.
That's a great question.
You know what OBS is.
You know what percentage you have to be.
The BMI, what is it?
30%.
Okay.
If you have 30% to be, which part of it?
30% is pretty up there, but 30% is obese.
So if you're six foot, if you're over 225, you're obese.
It depends on your body mass index.
It depends on what you're, you know,
but 30% is obese, okay?
So now watch this, question for you.
Do you know what country in the world
has the highest body mass index?
Do you know what country in the world
has the highest body?
Can I guess?
Yeah, by the way, the chances of you getting this,
matter of fact, if you can guess it,
I get a free marriage in your backyard,
first guess, if you guess first guess,
I'll give you a hundred bucks.
Okay.
First guess.
First guess.
I'll donate it to David, because he needs it.
But if I get anybody else that's listening to this,
if you can guess it without Googling it,
if you, what do you think it is?
I've got three countries that come to mind.
And the fact that you're making it like a, I just put a whole million dollars on the one. Okay. What do you think? I've got three countries that come to mind. And the fact that you're making it like a, a, a, you know, I just put a $1 on the one.
Exactly. Take it. I'm going to guess. Like the obvious answers in the United States. I'm
not guessing United States. I'm leaning towards India, but I'm not guessing India. I'm going
to take one. I'm going with, with Ricky Aguilar's home country Mexico. Okay. The answer is
no. The answer is no. It's not it's not Mexico. Okay, what's
second? I mean, you're not going to get this. Can you pull up the article? People already Google where
the fat people live? Okay. This is where we've got to figure out. By the way, this person got it,
Izu didn't got it, but I know for a fact you Google. Yeah, he goes on. Is it just emailed to you,
by the way, I emailed it to you, Tyler, if you go to your email, I emailed you the link. I don't
know. Matter of fact, right there, just go to it email, I emailed you the link. I don't know if you better know.
Matter of fact, right there, just go to it.
Right there.
Go to below.
Right below, right below, right below it.
Right below it.
One more below it.
Keep going.
Dude, right there.
Yeah, there you go.
All right, who do you see?
Naaru.
Naaru.
I didn't even ever heard of that.
That's the point.
It's to the northeast of Australia. Matter of fact, go to Naaru, map. Oh, I think, okay, I get it. ever heard of that question. That's the point. It's to the northeast of Australia.
Matter of fact, go to Naaru Map.
Oh, I think I get it.
Tonga, Samoa.
It's all the big.
Okay, but now here's the thing.
Island people.
Here's a crazy thing.
You know what their average body mass index is.
It's 61%.
They're all big Samoa and Thai people.
But they're all kinds of linemen.
Totally understand.
But now here's the thing.
Okay, so Naaru is right there.
Do you see to the right?
Yes.
North East of Australia. Okay. So now go to check this out. Type in Naoru, average life expectancy. Before you even get the answer
Yeah.
What do you think? Don't don't pull it up yet. What do you think is the average life expectancy in Naoru?
Okay, so the world's average life expectancy is mid 70s. Yes, 75 or 7. I'm gonna go higher.
Okay.
I'm gonna say that I'm gonna go 80.
Okay.
Sounds good.
So tap in life expectancy, click on it.
Hey, sorry, you didn't get that 100 bucks.
Go to all.
Go to all.
Go to all.
All right.
39 and a half.
Who wants?
48 and a half.
Okay.
So I was completely off.
So guess what this tells you though.
Yeah.
All of this stuff they're talking about, COVID, and how scared people are of COVID, guess what this tells you though? All of this stuff they're talking about, COVID
and how scared people are of COVID, guess what?
You ought to be way more scared about being obese.
Yeah, my obese.
Being obese and heavy.
Yes.
Then being worried about COVID.
But here's a question I ask you.
So by the way, this correlation on this is,
I mean, this is insane, by the way.
This is, you can live to 40 in this country.
That's if you're lucky.
Because you're obese.
Oh.
Because you're obese, because your body can only handle that
for so long until you have a what?
You have a heart attack.
You have some kind of high cholesterol,
something happening.
Diabetes, high blood pressure, hypertension.
So here's my question for you.
So now go to a biggest population obese countries.
Okay, you will see the only country ahead of US.
I emailed it to you, Tyler.
If you have the email, just pull it up and bring that up.
I don't know if it's a lot easier if you do it that way.
You sent it to me?
I sent it to your email, Tyler at valuetaming.com.
If you pull that up.
So if you go and look at big countries,
countries like our size, what do you think
America ranks for obese?
There's only one country.
Top five in the world you're saying for big countries?
Would you say Kuwait is considered a bigger country?
What do you mean a bigger country?
Like it's Kuwait, you said it's small country.
Then the biggest country in the world,
one of the top economies in the world,
with the highest obesity is America.
That's where America is at.
Yeah, of course.
But then the challenge becomes, when you hear a lot of people bring this up
Yeah, you don't hear anything being said by Fauci about hey, or the city
Why don't you change your diet? Yeah, once a last time you heard Fauci say don't drink soda right don't eat too much bread
Stay away from certain oils. Right stay away from certain fats
Stay away from certain chips stay away from certain carbs. carbs. How come the only solution for us is constantly
drugging ourselves to find a way of getting better?
That's the challenge I have.
Okay, when you grew up, when I grew up,
we grew up with certain habits, diets, whatever, maybe, right?
But if you look at families that are obese,
you can always go to the diet and see what they're eating.
And say, oh, yeah, listen, little too much tortilla.
You just had donuts for a while. You just had donuts for a while. You just had donuts for a while. whatever maybe, right? But if you look at families that are obese, you can always go to the diet and see what they're eating.
And say, ah, listen, little too much tortilla.
You just had doughnuts too much rice.
You just had donuts for breakfast.
Why are you surprised?
Why are your surprises taking place?
But no, if you, if God forbid,
you bring up weight to somebody, what do people say?
You're fat shaming.
You're insensious.
You're fat shaming.
You're this.
You're dead.
Okay, he just got to check the set.
A person is considered obese if they have a body mass index of 30% of 30.
Approximately 3.4 million adults to come to death every year as a result of being obese or overweight.
Okay. That's 3.4 million. The rise in obesity has become gradual but constant across.
The globe with the latest estimates suggesting that the world has over a billion obese people that
is double the rate that has existed 20 years ago.
Adam, let me read that to you one more time.
Latest estimates suggesting that the world has over a billion obese people that has doubled
the rate that we had only 20 years ago.
The 10 most obese countries in the world, you just saw Nauaru, 61 body mass index, and
the average life expectancy for men was what?
38.30, something in safe.
And one men was 48.49. Hey, Tyler, Tyler can you pull up pictures like the images of people of
Noaru let's get a let's get a little bit of weight weight go back to go back to it real quick so if you go
Pao allo no no stay up there Pao allo then it's martial islands then it's to
value then it's Tonga then it's Samoa then it's Kurelati, federated states of micro-ronesia,
whatever, and then you got Kuwait at 37.9, guess who's next?
United States.
United States, percentage of population that is obese.
36.2% I said 61, body mass index,
but 36.2% of US's population is obese.
Naoaru is 61, if you wanna Google with Naoaru folks
and people on the slide. You hit and people on the head and Bill Mar covered
this a few months ago.
He's like, yeah, you know, everyone, you know, Fauci, everyone, they're pushing vaccines,
they're pushing social distancing, they're pushing masks, like you talked about with
diet.
Why aren't they saying get out there and exercise, sweat a little bit, bang your wife
if you need to get that exercise in there, eat better, get some sunlight, get a gym membership. Like it was crazy. You had Aaron Singerman on here. He was one of the
gyms that stayed open during the pandemic because they understood, hey, listen, the more
you exercise, the more you sweat, the more that you're healthy, the better chance you
have against COVID versus just sit in the house, do nothing, and make sure you get your Vax. It just seems counterintuitive.
Yeah, this, this, this unfortunately,
puts the onus back on us, and we don't like that.
We, you know what this reminds you,
you've ever seen the movie,
forgetting Sarah Marshall.
Yeah.
Remember that, can you pull that up, the character and that,
and maybe knocked out the bad guy?
Of course.
These people, they're bigger people.
Yeah. Right?
You know the movie that we're talking about. You're. These people, they're bigger people. Yeah. Right?
You know, the movie that we're talking about.
He's saying, I know exactly what you're talking about
for getting Sarah Horseson.
Put in the Samoan guy.
Yeah, of course, I know what you're talking about.
These guys make great offensive guards in the NFL.
Yeah, this guy.
Yeah.
Okay.
I mean, this guy is six foot, 400 pounds.
Yeah.
What are you expecting? That's not healthy. That's not healthy. Yeah, that's not healthy. And then you have people like, and guy is six foot, 400 pounds. Yeah. What are you expecting?
That's not healthy.
That's not healthy.
Yeah, that's not healthy.
And then you have people like,
and this is actually, I mean, this is a little off topic,
but like, you're familiar with the artist, Lizzo.
Pull her up.
Lizzo, L-I-Z-Z-O.
Her name.
She's came up with some cool songs.
She's got some stuff going on.
She's a big woman, and she's on covers of magazines
as being sexy. Yeah, okay,
maybe you find her sexy, pull up a picture, anyone. I mean, you know, but this is not healthy.
That's not healthy. Yeah. And I'm not shaming her. She looks great, own it. You know, you sexy girl
that ain't healthy though. Yeah. And she performed at in front of the Lakers, in front of the whole
audience, like half naked, and everybody was like,
this is not what we wanna see.
And then they all got ripped for fat shaming, right?
Like it's, yeah.
Look, this is the part about how this thing works.
Okay, today, parents are afraid of challenging their kids.
God forbid they hold them accountable
because they may hurt their feelings, right?
Today, the media is uncomfortable to challenge people and hold them accountable. God forbid your body shaming, or whatever shaming you're doing their feelings, right? Today, the media is uncomfortable to challenge people
and hold them accountable.
God forbid, your body shaming or whatever shaming
you're doing to them, right?
Okay, the reality of it is,
if I got bad financial habits and I got a bad credit score,
hey, I need to be held accountable for that.
You know, if in the last two years,
I've had nine different jobs with nine different companies,
yeah, it's probably you, it ain't the company, right?
If your last three cars have repot, it ain't the cars. If your last six relationships have ended up with an ugly breakup,
it probably isn't the six girls or six guys you dated. It's you, but we don't like that,
because one of the ugliest words to date, that's not attractive as accountability.
Everybody wants to be felt, you know, forgiven, which is fine. Everybody is, oh my gosh,
you don't understand, but you don't know what it is to be me, but you don't know what it is to be felt, you know, forgiven, which is fine. Everybody is, oh my gosh, you don't understand.
But you don't know what it is to be me.
But you don't know what it is to be this.
But you don't know what it is to me.
Well, I do know what it is when I sit next to certain people
that are obese and I sit and I'm like, you just ate two cheesecakes.
You just ate so much bread.
Yeah.
You just ate so much.
I mean, that's just not, and then you can't tell me it's
because you're a big bone. No, no, no. I'm just a big bone. You understand? I understand being a big bone, but that's a little bit so much. I mean, that's just not, and then you can't tell me it's because you're a big bone.
No, no.
I'm just a big bone.
I understand.
I understand being a big bone, but that's a little bit too much.
So anyways, you see the statistics there
when you see some people getting to that.
An analogy that you were touching on.
An analogy you always use that actually definitely resonates
with me is when you talk about someone
who's been on their fifth job in five years,
and they're always saying, well, my boss was an asshole.
My boss was an asshole.
And like everyone that you work for an asshole, you know what, you know who the asshole is?
It's probably you, but it's a lot harder to look in the mirror and be like, this, I'm an
asshole.
It's a lot easier to deflect.
It's a lot harder to say, dude, I gotta be, I have a better attitude.
I gotta show up on time.
I gotta do better.
I gotta put in the hours.
Yeah, you know, it's crazy.
And this obviously, I'm not doing any motivation
on day videos.
I'm not doing any how-tos.
I'm not doing any of that stuff.
But what I was talking to the PHP leadership group
the other day, and I made a video.
I sent a video from the flight yesterday.
And I had three points I gave them for 2022.
Here's what the point was.
Adam, every one of us has a reputation.
You got a reputation.
I got a reputation.
Tyler's got a reputation. Davis got a reputation. George's has a reputation. You got a reputation. I got a reputation.
Tyler's got a reputation.
David's got a reputation.
George's got a reputation.
President Obama's got a reputation.
Trump's got a reputation.
Biden's got a reputation.
There's not a single person in the world
that doesn't have a reputation.
Now here's a thing.
You'll hear a lot of people say,
well, John Maxwell once said,
reputation is what, and John Wooden once said,
reputation is what other people think about you,
but characters who you really are, right?
All this stuff to make ourselves feel better.
But then the reality is, if a bank doesn't want
to lend you $60,000 to buy a car,
it's not because your character is bad.
They don't care about your character.
Your credit score sucks.
If the bank doesn't get one
that lend you $1,000,000 to buy a house
and your credit score is $650,
they don't care about your ethnicity,
they don't care about your last name.
All they care about is your name. They don't care.
All they care about is your reputation.
Based on your credit is what?
You don't pay things on time, right?
If there's anything you wanna be thinking
about going into a new year,
like I remember it's me, Tom and Mario,
and we're at Dallas,
and we're speaking at some insurance event, okay?
Cody, good guy.
He's putting an insurance event together.
First time I ever met Davey Harris, Jr. was there.
He sent me a message that I'd love to hook up with.
He has a command down.
We spent a good 45 minutes together.
And Dallas, yes.
You remember this whole story when I'm over there?
When we're at the country club, eight percent nation.
Yes, shout out.
Probably a great event they put together.
So when we're at this country club,
me, Tom and Mario are preparing our notes.
And I said, what reputation did you have when you were a kid?
Okay.
So that bothered you, that stayed with you.
So Tom tells me his, okay, Mario tells me his.
And I said, let me give you mine.
Mine was two things.
My dad would say Patrick's lazy.
And number two was, they would compare me
to an uncle of mine.
Guys, his name was Johnny.
Love this guy.
Six, five, good-looking.
He was a physicist.
He was a guy that would smoke the pipe,
not pipe like crack pipe, pipe like pipe.
You know what I'm talking about?
He had to pipe a little too much, though.
And he would smoke the pipe
and he would read these physics books.
I mean, who the hell does this?
That was this guy.
He had classic guns.
He liked good music.
He liked good Italian music.
But he had one reputation.
Guess what the reputation was.
He would only do 70% of whatever project he had.
He'd never completed.
He would never finish.
So it was always a reputation of, he'll start things,
he'll never in his life will ever finish anything.
That was his reputation.
So I, because I was tall like him,
because I was a math guy like him,
I would always get compared to him.
And that was my reputation.
Patrick's Johnny, they're the same thing.
They're probably gonna be-
This is what your dad would say, or just-
This is all my dad would say.
And you have to understand, as a kid,
I'm eight years old, 10 years old.
I know this is a guy that doesn't keep his word
and finish the project, but it's brilliant.
I don't want to have that reputation. doesn't keep his word and finish the project, but it's brilliant. Wow. I don't want to have that reputation.
So I go to the military, come back in a military, work my ass off, and my teens, I make money,
I always make my money.
I didn't have allowance, I didn't come from a family of allowance, I've always made my money.
Anyways, I get out of the military, I got to work ethic now.
So at 25, 26 years old, I'm sitting there, and I'm asking myself, so let's, a new year's
is coming up.
What do you want your reputation to be?
What do you want your reputation to be?
Your reputation is you like to party.
Your reputation is you go to Vegas every other weekend.
Your reputation is your bodybuilding.
Your reputation is you never want to have a family.
Your reputation is you don't want the responsibility
of kids, any of that stuff.
Everybody knew, Pat's not, I don't want to have any family.
I don't want to do none of that stuff, right?
One day I sit down and I said,
if I have a reputation, I want my reputation to be
if Pat says something's gonna happen, it's done.
You can bank it, you can book it.
That's the reputation.
You bring up the conversation about people that always,
you know, they say, well, it's this, it's, it's,
it's not me, it's my big bone, it's this, it's that,
anybody that's listening to this, you currently not me, it's my big bone, it's this, it's that. Anybody that's listening to this,
you currently have a reputation amongst your friends
and families, whether you like it or not,
you have it at your work environment.
Everybody thinks of you in a certain way.
If you want things to change,
you got to kind of change some of the ways
you're living for your reputation to change.
By the way, some people say things like,
I really don't give a shit about my reputation.
I watch this, let's play this game.

How about the guy that said, why shouldn't we legalize marijuana?
Yeah, how about a guy that's the king of podcasts right? That's his reputation
You're getting to the point that no matter whether you like it or not you've got a rep and if you don't like it
You got to change you got to change it and if you don't like your reputation and it bothers you
Well then do something about it right because you can't go to people and say, that's not the truth.
That's not the truth.
You have to understand, when I hire somebody,
recently I had a guy that came on board.
I brought him on board.
And when I brought him on board,
all of a sudden I got all these messages
from his former colleagues and people
that did business with him and his girl.
So it's like, hey, you know about just so you know,
I just want to just do a reputation with this person here,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
I'm like, oh, whatever.
And then one person, second person, third person.
Here's what you got to know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
I'm like, listen, I got it.
I've been around business for a while.
I'll make the decision for myself.
You know what eventually happened?
What everybody said is what happened.
Right.
We all have a reputation.
Your reputation precedes you, right?
So you can try to convince the world to say,
no, but that's not me.
Listen, that's your rep.
Okay, I remember I asked Sonata that work with Trump.
Okay, she's VP of Ops.
You remember Sonata's one of the biggest realtors here
in Boka, right?
You see her face everywhere.
She's always on the real deal.
She's always representing people.
Pretty blonde lady.
Pretty blonde lady, but more importantly brilliant. Smart husband markets love these guys great people, right?
I said so what was it like working with Trump? I always want to know what Trump was like to work with
So this guy would show up at nine o'clock at night ten o'clock at night and would walk around saying are you making calls?
Are you working? What are you doing and
Like that's just litbearing. Guess what?
If somebody ever said Trump drove his people hard,
would you believe it?
100%.
100%.
That's his reputation.
Do you think that bothers him?
Not at all.
Not at anything bothers him.
But what I'm trying to tell you is,
that's the rep he built and he wants.
So Adam, what's your reputation?
Let's go through your reputation.
What's your reputation?
As you're saying this, I had a conversation with a friend who I hadn't seen in a while.
And he basically was like, dude, I really love what you're doing. The whole save that
money stuff. He's smart with your money. And he starts telling Adrian, my other, he goes,
do you understand that this guy was the broken, just like penny-pinching friend we had in
high school? And to your point, you either can just embrace that reputation
and I don't care if you think or do something about it.
And that's what I decided to do,
is change my rep.
I was like the fact that I'm 10 years later,
the money guy saved that money,
be smart with your money and Vass,
it was so far from who I was as a teenager,
it wasn't even funny.
So, you know, everyone has the opportunity to change
who they are.
Nothing is permanent.
There's no question about that.
Yeah.
I'm getting goosebumps, by the way,
because I'm on a circle back to what was your uncle
who didn't finish when he started.
Yeah.
Because as you were telling this story,
and I asked if that was your dad,
you know your dad pulled me aside at the holiday party we had at your house.
You remember I was talking to you, I was talking to you
I had it for an hour.
He pulled me into his room.
You were like, what did you interrupt me?
Me and my, me and that were talking.
I love that guy.
Because a lot of the qualities, he has the quality
that were qualities my dad didn't have, right?
He's just very wise man, you could tell.
And he pulled me into his room, his bedroom.
And he showed me all the quilts that he had sewed.
You know what I'm talking about?
The covers, of course.
And there was a COVID one, a New York City one,
and a Texas one, he'd eat like 10 of them, right?
And I go, why are you showing me this?
And he goes, this is the lesson.
And Dylan and Tiko were there and he goes,
you have to finish what you started. You have to finish what you started. And so that's why I asked if this is the lesson. And Dylan and Tiko were there and he goes, you have to finish what you started.
You have to finish what you started.
And so that's why I asked if this is what he told,
your reputation was about your uncle, did it 70%.
And Dylan goes, how long did that take?
Right, I love that kid.
And he goes, it doesn't matter.
I started it, I finished it.
It doesn't matter how long it took.
The fact is that I did it
He's so inco the size of a bet and he's peeling them off one by one myself taught by the way Yeah, that's incredible
I mean and he showed me what he did with the chest piece and the chairs. We should have them on the podcast
We should I'm on the podcast. He'd be amazing, but the he was like and and he says time is a thief
Time is a thief. I'll never forget this conversation.
And he said, basically about procrastination.
I go, what's the difference between successful people
and unsuccessful people?
And he goes, oh, I have an answer for you.
He goes, the unsuccessful people will say,
I'll do it tomorrow.
I'll do it tomorrow.
He says, no, you do it now.
You do it now.
We were a Christmas party.
I'm alone with your dad for an hour learning and bracing,
hearing what he's got going on.
So it's not a shock to me that the stories that you tell
about your family and the lessons
and how you changed your reputation
probably came from your dad, I would assume.
Oh, there's no question about it.
Yeah, there's, but again, going back to it,
I did not want that to be my reputation.
I'm completely okay with certain things being my reputation.
Patrick's a driver, he's going to drive you this, he's going to do this, he's going to
do that.
No one's ever going to say, you're going to outwork paths, just not going to happen because
I'm not going to give you that.
I want to be able to make sure you're not going to sleep at night saying, Path Kicks, it
goes golf six days a week, you're not working my ass up.
That's not a reputation.
Well, that's a reputation that you,
whatever you want to build,
2022 is around the corner.
And I can tell you, December 31st of 02,
I went to sleep.
We were at, in front of In-N-Out Burger,
I've told the story before,
we were at In-N-Out Burger off of a,
a rural canyon, Universal Studios,
and with a friend of mine,
Tam, we're sitting in the car.
We can't afford to buy a Innan-Ottberger individually.
We buy double, double.
We split it with our hands.
No joke.
We split it with our hands.
We split it with our hands.
We split it with our hands.
We split it with our hands.
We split it with our hands.
We split it with our hands.
We split it with our hands.
We split it with our hands.
We split it with our hands.
We split it with our hands.
We split it with our hands.
We split it with our hands. We split it with our hands. We split it with our hands. We split it with our hands. We took a water, we made lemonade. We made lemonade for free. He drank it, I drank it.
We listened to Ryan C. Chris to the countdown.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
And there's this much excitement for me to go from 02 to 03.
We go to Universal City, we walk a little bit.
We didn't even have the energy to go to Sattah Ranch.
Got back in the car, went back home. I slept at like 12, 31 o'clock.
I said, I will never go into a new year.
Not excited about the next year.
I'm gonna change my life.
12 months after that, I become a broker.
12 months after that, I take my dad to Hawaii
for the first sandwich, was one of his dreams
because he would always talk about, he would say,
I said, that what does heaven look like?
He says, the closest thing to heaven is,
there's an island next to California called Hawaii.
One day I will take you.
I took him to Hawaii, February of 2004, and he he walked around I looked at his face as a dude this guy so relaxed December 15th
of 2003 is the last time I did had a heart attack December 15th December of 2003 is the last time I
did had a heart attack May 29th of 2004 is the last time my mom or dad reached in their pocket to pay for anything when they're around me
May of 2004 if you're around me. I want to pay for it. I wanted to change that reputation
December 21st that year was Paulette's birthday. The your pride to the first birthday my sister
I got her $20 gift card because I was so freaking broke
You're later when they went to when they got, they didn't go on an official honeymoon.
I went to their Christmas and I had my dad there,
Ciamac there in Polet there and I gave him an envelope.
Polets at here, Ciamac opened it up, Ciamac opened it up.
It was a five night cruise to Masatlan.
That's what you gave here.
This is what I gave my sister.
I saw the tears on their eyes.
I saw the tear on Ciamac's eyes, my dad's eyes,
my sister's eyes, I said,
this is what I freaking want to do to rest of my life. I want to do on CMX eyes, my dad's eyes, my sister's eyes. I said, this is what I frickin' wanna do to rest of my life.
I wanna do this for the rest, I wanna see the people
around me's dreams to become, I gotta dicked it to that.
That became a passion.
It was an incredible feeling of what can happen
if you decide to change.
I wanted to change.
It is, what's today's date?
December what? 28.
We got four more days.
If you count today, you got four more days to finish off Yeah, okay. We got four more days if you count it
you got four more days to finish off
to your strong we got a strong week
this week we got who's going to be on
the podcast on Friday by the way
Brandy shop brand of shop is going to be
on the podcast on Friday.
That's right actor big time.
You have see comedian you know he fought
fate or by I can't wait to talk to
guys guys an absolute start of a guy
who's an ultimate fighter guy.
So Brandon Scharger are going to be
back to our on Thursday on Thursday to be on on Thursday. On Thursday, to be honest.
He's flying back tomorrow, which is great.
But we're finishing off the year strong
and we're moving into a new building.
Just about two buildings. One of them is going to be
potentially the studio. The other one's going to be the head.
And the news. It's in the real deals.
And the real deal.com, the website.
But the moral of the story is, if you're listening to this,
if you're one of the few thousand people
that are on the podcast right now with us. Listen, my challenge to you, if you're listening to this, if you're one of the few thousand people that are on the podcast right now with us.
Listen, my challenge to you, if 2021 was a shitty year, Fox came out with a poll and they
said what?
Fox BusinessPoll, 7 in 10 say 2021 was a bad year for the country.
There's a 70% chance 2021 wasn't a good year for you.
There's a 70% chance 2021 wasn't a good year for you. There's a 70% chance 2021 wasn't a good year for you.
All I'll tell you is the following. Rather than looking on the outside, blame Fauci, blame
Biden, blame Trump, blame your boss, blame your parents, blame whoever, Tyler, can you
turn off the mic please? Rather than you blaming everybody about that, make a list of what
your reputation is amongst your friends and family. Decide to change, recreate yourself
and make 2022 the beginning of the greatest years
of your life.
Anybody can do that.
You did that with your life.
Look where you are today.
I did that with my life.
Look what we are today.
We started off with a small podcast and it's grown.
We feel this is gonna be a top podcast worldwide
within the next two, three, four, five years.
If we continue with the schedule that we have,
we have a message we want the world to hear about.
Everything starts small,
but you've got to make a decision to change
and change your reputation.
If someone needs to change their reputation, right?
So there's, you know, however many people listen right now,
and then, you know, the,
I'm sure those makers are short clip.
If someone needs to change their reputation,
is there like a checklist?
All right, step one, look in the mirror.
Step two, right?
Is there something that you think
that people should actively do? Because some people are just gonna listen to this and say, all right, yeah,, look in the mirror. Step two, right? It's something that you think that people should actively do.
Because some people are just going to listen to this
and say, all right, yeah, you said it.
You know, we were on.
Some people are actually going to try to do it.
What should they do?
We were on a Zoom yesterday.
I was doing business planning on Monday for a few hours,
but our guys, and I asked one, the guys are question.
I said, what percentage of success in the business
of how you're dealing with your guys is based on how
people react because it's the game and what percentages on how you lead them.
I don't know if you got that question. So what percentage of how your kids turn
out you think is on you, the parent, what percentage is on them? What percentage
of how good your sales people around you do is on them versus on you?
I would say 80-20.
80 is on who?
On the individual.
Okay. I say it's the other way around.
Really?
Let me explain to you what I mean by this.
How can the same person work for five different sales people
and not make money with Johnny, not make money with Bobby,
not make money with Larry,
but they come to you, they make a quarter million dollars.
So same human being.
It's a system.
It's what you teach them.
It's how you lead them, right?
Look at Saipala, right?
Saipala, their best year was 160.
Right now, if they make 160 a month, they're disappointed.
If they make 160 a month, they're disappointed.
They're going to make $3 million this year, okay?
If they make 160 a month, they're disappointed.
They're sitting on saying, oh my gosh, you know, whatever, all this stuff.
We should be making $200,000 a month. I was with them just
feeders with their kids Joe, Joe and the giant two-year-old kid Jordan that looks like six
years old which makes no sense. That kid eats growth hormone. He's I don't know what that kid is on
but that kid is massive. Book this name folks Jordan, Saipala will play the NFL one day. That's a
special kid. He is a flip and beast strong jeans both China and Matt anyways
You know you you got to make it in a way where you're honest with yourself most of us don't want to say it's on
On on ourselves most of us want to say it's on somebody else the sooner you can really be honest with your reputation
Then you can change it. So you're saying it's not even on you. It's on the person leading you
No, no, I it is on you. I it. So you're saying it's not even on you, it's on the person leading you? No, no, it is on you. I absolutely is on you. What I'm saying is I put it on me as the leader.
Okay, but if I'm working for you, I don't put it on you. I put it on me. Everything to me is on me.
Whether I'm the sales leader, whether I'm the individual, it's on me. Okay, I can do something
about my life. I'm going to put it all on me. But we like to say it's not on me. It's on this person. It's on that person's on this person. So
Even as a sales lady can say what's not on me? It sells people suck, you know the people here don't sell now
It's really on you okay because you can be a better teacher. You can be a better leader
You can be better at communicating with your guys, etc. etc
Anyways, so
Excited about 2022 to say the least. We got very very big plans.
Very big things of what we were talking about.
I'm just saying that seven and ten people think the 2020 one is a bad year.
Well, can you blame them?
I don't.
But what I'm, what is it?
What do they say they're looking for?
Meanwhile, 54 are pessimistic about the future.
This is what I'm...
That's the attitude part.
That's the problem right there. What page are you on, by the way? This is on I'm that's the attitude part that's that's a problem right there what page are you on by the way this is on bottom
of four okay read it won't you read it the whole article yeah so seven
and ten say twenty twenty one is a bad year for the country I don't doubt that
suffox business story with rising pricing rising prices escalating crime rates
and the approach of year three of a global pandemic seven and ten voters in
saying think there was another bad year for the country over half-fellow was bad year three of a global pandemic seven and ten voters insane.
I think there was another bad year for the country over half
field it was bad for them personally.
This Fox News business survey of registered voters find 70%
a 2021 was a clunker for the country.
While that is better than the 78% who felt that way about 2020.
So basically it's trending in the right direction 78%
at 2020 sucked and 70% 20 to one. It's still much worse than the 38% who called 2019 bad.
Basically 2019 wasn't that bad. Overall 19% of voters believe 2021 was a good year
for the country. 19% while 31% it was a good year for their family. Meanwhile,
54% are pessimistic about the future of the country while 43% are hopeful.
Yeah. How do you interpret those numbers?
You can do something about it, but we control choices we make. You control the situation
you're in. I don't give me wrong. Certain people are in certain bad situations.
Bless you.
Diarrh situation.
You may be 14 years old, living in a household with parents that are drug addicts and alcoholics.
You really can't do a lot about it at this point.
You can't even get a job.
You're just kind of stuck in a situation there.
I totally get that.
But if you're 22 years old, you can walk talk.
You can speak a language.
If you can speak two, you're part of the elite.
If you can communicate, if you can touch, feel, walk,
see, hear, process, all of that,
you can change your life towards the positive direction.
Anybody can pick up a book.
Anybody can start improving themselves.
But unfortunately, that's how people feel right now.
Well, you know, they say the one thing
that you need to do every day, no matter what your situation is,
that way you can be a little bit more optimistic
is to express gratitude.
Be grateful for what you have.
People want to say, oh, people are richer than me,
people are better looking than me,
people are in better shape than me,
people are more successful.
I wish I had a hotter this, or a better girlfriend,
or a better boyfriend,
but the reality is, there's so many people
around the world that would die
To live in America like if you're watching this so in America or listening this in America
Just be grateful for where you live
You know the you see the stories about people in Afghanistan dying to get out of plane or the people are the guy who left
Venezuela in the
the the wheels of a plane
just to get out of their country.
If you can wake up every single day
and you know, you stretch your hands
and you're not touching a wooden box,
you should show some gratitude.
And make a, like you talked about changing your reputation,
I just did a segment on the SaaS cast
about make a list of who you wanna be
and what mentors you should follow,
but you should also do a list of what you're grateful for.
And it's always a great reminder.
That's always a great reminder to be able to do that.
By the way, did you see the plus minus on which states
lost the most people during pandemic?
I saw a great list.
In which states gained the most.
Can you pull up that chart real quick?
So if you look at this here,
this is during the pandemic who gained the most
and who lost the most, okay?
David, if you can switch back on this, okay, so at the top
Not surprised Florida first place biggest plus minus. Oh, we know we feel the pricing
221,000 people moved to Florida plus minus during COVID
Then it's Texas plus 170 did it's Arizona leaving California to Arizona 93
Then it's Texas plus 170. Did it?
Arizona, leaving California to Arizona 93.
Carolina's 88, South Carolina's 64, Tennessee 61,
lowest tax rate in America, all in is Tennessee.
And it's Georgia, Idaho, and Utah, Nevada,
Oklahoma, Alabama, Montana.
Then it's, by the way, in Montana,
while everybody, you know what everybody was talking about?
How many people are moving to your left and right?
I'm like Montana.
Yeah. You would be amazed how many people are moving in Montana. That's what everybody was talking about? How many people are moving here left and right? I'm like Montana.
Yeah.
You would be amazed how many people are moving
in Montana.
That's what they were talking about.
Big sky country.
Arkansas, Maine, Missouri, anyway.
So you get that list right there, the plus minus.
Now look at the minus, all the way at the bottom.
California, they lost 367,000 people and their policies
are just getting worse.
They're not getting better. It's not like they're changing their policies
They're just getting worse. Then it's New York. It's a tight race on where that's at then it's Illinois
So I'm one that left California Illinois is where Madin's China. They left Illinois to go to Dallas, Texas
Then he got Massachusetts
Louisiana, Jersey which is a Gerard, DC, Maryland, Minnesota, Hawaii,
Virginia, Michigan, Dakota.
So, red states are gaining people, blue states are losing people.
How are you interpret this?
Why don't you tell me?
I think I'm just gonna know what you think about this.
The initial obvious answer is like less regulation,
less taxes, let's get the hell out of California,
overreach, cover, you know, mass mandates, mandates,
mandates, overreach, overreach, which is obvious.
I'm sure that's part of the reason.
The other half of that, how I would interpret this,
is people are getting the hell out of cold states.
You can now work from anywhere you can work remote.
Look at all the states in the top six or so.
All below the sunbelt.
Hawaii's cold. Well, that's a regulation. Louisiana's cold. I'm saying, I'm states in the top six or something all below the Sunbelt Hawaii. No, I'm well, that's a regulation.
She's done as cold.
I'm saying, I'm looking at the top.
Everything is below the sun, Florida, Texas, Arizona, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Georgia.
Top seven states are basically like, let me just have some decent weather.
Other than California, you got New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, DC, Maryland,
Minnesota.
They're like, I can't even take the frickin' cold anymore.
Yeah.
I was just with my family last night in a sports agent, and they're all from Minnesota.
They're all like, we're here in Florida now.
They're a Minnesota family.
They're just like, why are we even thinking about the cold we can work from anywhere?
I go, when you go back to Minnesota, he goes, we just buck the one-way flight to South
Florida.
I go back when I need to go back.
I can work from anywhere.
So yes, regulation, yes, overreach, yes, taxes.
What do you think's more important?
Let me ask you a question.
What do you think's more important?
Whether lifestyle or regulation and freedom.
I think they're all equally important.
You think so?
100%.
You think so.
Cuba's got great weather.
Just so you know, Cuba's got great weather.
I think the Cuba.
You know, great weather, great water.
Let me say if you guys are tripping Cuba.
You're telling me all of it is important.
Dude, let's move the podcast to Cuba.
I've been to Cuba before.
I know you have.
If you need to go to Cuba, just go to Little Havana, Miami,
Guy Ayocho, they'll take care of you down there.
Tell them I sent you.
So what's more important, think about it as a human being.
What is more important to you?
You, okay.
You think lifestyle is over regulation and control?
That's not what people are telling you the last 18 months.
It depends who you are.
If you're a business owner, are you have a family?
100% I don't think if it's anybody.
If you're just a single person, you're like, dude, I'm stuck in Minnesota, I'm 27 years old.
I don't even think 40 grand a year.
I'm going to frickin Florida.
Yeah, I don't even think.
I think period.
T-code doesn't like too much regulation.
What are you talking about?
I guess nine years old.
You don't want to read another book, dad.
You're gonna read, boy.
I can't do anything about reading anymore.
He's addicted to it, but the point is,
so what are you saying?
All I'm saying to you is, freedom is valuable.
People want to be left alone to be able to make
their own decisions with their lives.
They don't like force.
And anywhere where there's too much force and regulation,
people want to get out.
This data says a lot, but I'm telling you right now.
I'm telling you right now.
That number in the bottom, New York and California
is just getting warm up.
This is not like the peak.
They're just getting stuck.
Why don't we do a poll?
What do you want the poll to be?
Ask our audience.
What do you want the poll to be?
If you're going to move, why would you move?
Taxes, regulation, or lifestyle, what they're doing?
That's a good question.
If you move, why would you move?
Yeah.
Why would you move?
If you're in New Jersey, are you moving because of taxes, regulation, overage, or
or is it lifestyle?
Hey, you did a video of you on an IC-ass plane in Montana.
Can you pull up that video? Okay, and then you're like five minutes later, you did a video of you on an icy ass plane in Montana. Can you pull up that video?
Okay, and then you're like five minutes later,
you're in Florida.
Dude, pull up that video real quick about Montana.
That literally got stuck in a blizzard.
We got stuck in a blizzard.
Yeah, Ashley Grant, by the way.
Make that bigger, can you make that bigger?
Yeah, this is what it looked like in Montana two days ago.
It can change very quickly.
This is also Montana stuck in a blizzard.
It's one degree like a...
This is Saturday.
What about later, here's what it looks like in Florida.
No craziness.
Yeah.
A madness.
Exactly.
Sometimes you just got to be patient and weathered the storm.
Okay. Well, listen, you're kind of proving my point here. He just got to be patient and weathered the storm
Well listen, you're kind of proving my point here. Wait a minute. So so so then there's a question for you
Why is Montana on the plus list when it's got such a small population? You're proving my point here
Stop it with you. You know you're not saying Montana's miserable
Let me tell you I was very happy and flourishing my ass off
So if I'm freezing my ass, have you tell me why Montana's in the top 12?
Freedom, baby
Freedom is slightly
Like Stallas and state there life style is important. I fully agree with you
If I had my choice, yeah, if every one of these states were low regulation
If every one of these states had low taxes, no state tax, what do you think I'd be living right now?
You'd be in Florida regardless.
I would probably be in California.
I'd be in Newport Beach today.
Yeah.
I would be in the point.
Now, Tom's enter Manhattan.
What do you think Musk would be today?
What do you think Rogan would be today?
They'd be in California.
They would be in California.
Regulations, what's forcing people to tell you,
we're gonna say something.
Yeah, so here's the thing with California for me,
is half of the taxes paid in California
are by 150,000 people.
Wow.
150,000 people pay half of the taxes in California.
The multi-millionaires in the billionaires.
Where's California gonna get its money?
They've already lost, Rogan, they've lost Elon Musk, they've lost, they're losing, Hollywood
celebrities are losing guys like you, it's like they're not gonna have any money.
And on top of the taxes and regulation, it's the fact that
they don't have any water. It's the fact that energy costs are outrageous. You can't run
a lawnmower because it's outlawed. I mean, it's just, it's unreal, man. California is going
to, is, is going to collapse. But have you been a California Tyler? Unfortunately not. I'd
love to go. I've heard it. Let me put it this one. I lived there for 20 plus years. I freaking love California.
San Francisco, one of our favorite places to go to.
Santa Barbara, go to Bacara, incredible resort to Staya.
San Diego, unfri...
When the best kept secrets in America.
The Valley, Pasadena, all pasts, Colorado, Palm Springs,
Yacca Valley, California has so many freaking incredible spots, ridiculous regulations
driving people out.
The most yesterday I met Louis Bosse with Jen and Baby Brooklyn, big chains.
And I'm eating and all of a sudden I see this guy just looking at me all funny.
I thought we were about to get into it.
He's a vatainer, so usual thing.
He says, bro, bro.
He even bent batting.
No, no, he says, bro, are you kidding me?
Look at him, he said, there's wife and kids.
I said, dude, his wife's like, that's the guy.
So I'm like, who's the guy?
I'm holding Brooklyn.
I'm trying to, you know, walk because I'm running late to a zoom.
And he says, you were in Florida because of your video.
10 reasons why I moved to Florida.
He moved to Florida because of the day.
Jennifer walks up.
He says, do you know where, husband and wife
and two kids from Uzbekistan,
Kay, who lived in New York, moved to Florida
because they looked at that video and they said,
Florida just makes way too much sense.
They move over here.
Incredible how opportunity, when you look at something
and how many other families are sitting there saying,
I'm kind of sick of it is what I want to move as well.
But Adam, I'm telling you right now,
remember when I said this to you, the statistics,
this is just getting started.
Because politics in California and New York
ain't changing anytime soon.
It ain't changing anytime soon.
Anyways, we'll shout out to Bill DeBlasio.
I believe this is last week in office,
so I know he's done a great job.
You're gonna miss him, you're a big fan of this.
I'm not a fan, but I'm excited to see
what this guy Eric Adams does.
Is this San Francisco?
I was actually gonna ask you to pull that out.
I've seen this floating around.
This is San Francisco.
This is San Francisco.
Hey, Matt Tyler, y'all.
Oh my god.
Can you make it bigger or no?
I cannot believe that.
No, it's Instagram.
San Francisco.
San Francisco.
San Francisco.
This is in front of the cap.
Is this Union Square? Where is this?
On the greatest cities in the world.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes, to be one of the greatest cities in the world.
Yeah.
Policies can change that, man. The right policies can fix that.
Anyways, let's get into the next story
that we have here.
TikTok is officially the biggest,
most visited website on the internet.
Passing up Google, CBS News.
For the first time, TikTok has surpassed Facebook
and Google has the most popular destination
on the internet storage.
Software company CloudFlair found that TikTok
was the most visited website
and most widely used social media platform.
CloudFlair is ranking as based on how much
web traffic a site generated in 2021.
TikTok first placed in its Google Facebook Microsoft,
Apple, Amazon, Netflix, YouTube, Twitter, WhatsApp.
And in regards to social media platforms,
after TikTok, it's Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram,
Snapchat, Snapchat, it's the number six by the way, interesting. Reddit platforms, after TikTok, its Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat,
Snapchat's the number six by the way, interesting.
Reddit Pinterest, head of LinkedIn.
Good for Snapchat, it's an underrated app by the way,
then it's Korra.
So what do you think about TikTok becoming
the biggest website in the world?
Well, look, it's no secret,
it's owned by Bite Dance,
which is owned by the CCP or whatever,
China and I guess, look on the bright side, other than TikTok, the top nine are American companies.
Congratulations, America.
We're killing it.
But I don't know, TikTok is blown up as exploded of the last couple years.
You just had a video that took off for you on the internet.
Dude, I've never, I had a video that got a quarter million views in one day.
It was insane.
Yeah.
Talk it, shout out to my people in Portugal, talking about a half-a.
Yeah, half-a.
They don't call them half-a and Portugal.
They don't speak Portuguese.
I got it.
But it blew up.
But you mentioned something yesterday
that I want to get your opinion on.
I think there's a 99% chance Trump gets reelected.
I'm sorry that he runs again.
I apologize, I apologize.
There's a Freudian slip right there.
I'm on for Trump, I'm tired now.
Where's a 99% chance in the real?
He's reelected.
50-50.
Oh, you're 50-50, okay.
I mean, that's just easier.
Just had point flip.
I got it.
But I would say 51 at this point.
Okay.
So you're saying Trump's probably going to get real like that.
Yeah, I mean, look, it is what it is at this point.
I don't think Biden is doing anything to improve his poll numbers and, you know, the lower
then Carter, first time ever, where his poll is officially lower than Carter, but not
as low as Trump.
Let's not forget about that.
No, no, it's the lowest ever in since Carter.
He dropped his approval.
His approval rating is not.
His approval rating fell below Carter. Well, I've pointed this. What's your point?
If Trump gets reelected, what are the chances? Tick Tuck still stays number one or even stays
atop. He's going to go straight after the same enemy because he doesn't think the enemy change.
He'll go straight after China. And remember, here's one thing that people don't realize.
You know this whole statistic that came up about
visualizing the $94 trillion world economy in one chart,
and it says world economy tops $100 trillion in 2022.
Next year, 2022, the world economy is gonna be what?
$100 trillion, right?
And the first time ever we're gonna be $100 trillion
the world economic output will exceed $100 trillion
for the first time, and it'll take China a little longer than
previous it out to overtake the United States
as a number of economy reports show down Sunday.
British Consolency that predicted China
will become the world's top economy in dollar terms
by 2030, two years later after forecasts
and last year's world economic, economic,
league table report, India looked to overtake France
next year and
in Britain in 2023 and race for the world's top economy and they're saying India
by 2031 will be number three economy Adam India will be number three economy in the
world now what does that mean by 2031 here's what it means yeah what's the one
country that banned a hundred apps from China?
India. India did. India has the audacity.
They banned TikTok. They banned TikTok.
TikTok is not available in India, right?
They have the audacity to ban. Can you imagine how Jeetching Pink feels?
Here's a guy that just published a book that told Amazon
you cannot put any of my negative ratings. Amazon doesn't put any of the negative reviews
of Jeetching Pink on Amazon. Think about that right there. Can you pull up that
story? Jeetching Ping comes out with a book on Amazon and they the Amazon does
not let any of the one star reviews be up there. Amazon book rating, yeah, let's
see if the article comes up or not. Right there. Amazon reportedly took down a review of Chinese presidents' book
after demands.
Go a little lower.
Amazon, Amazon, Amazon, retail giant Amazon.
Reportly scrubbed reviews of Chinese book,
Jeeching Pink book from one of its sites
and help promote other forms of propaganda.
Reuters reported Amazon received an addict from Beijing,
a person familiar with the addict,
set a negative review of Xi Jinping's book,
promoted a book seller to stop allowing any customer ratings
and reviews in a country.
Another person familiar with the story said,
I think the issue with anything under five stars.
The company also partners with the state.
By the way, this is a Reuters story.
Volume three of Xi's book were reportedly listed
as a best seller on China books
and Amazon site creating partnership with an arm of
Nations propaganda apparatus. Okay, so we know what game he's playing
He's playing all the propaganda game behind closed doors
He can tell Amazon to give them all the five star reviews
They have to listen to him India is not afraid of them India is gonna be number three in the world India
Long-term could potentially even pass up America
Okay, because they got simply
just more bandwidth.
More people, and we know the average age in India versus China and US.
The average age in India is what?
26, 27, 28, the average age here is 38.4, the average age in China is 38.8.
So if Trump does get reelected, if Trump does get reelected, I think the first thing he
targets is he goes back and he finishes
what he started with China.
And I think China, if you think COVID was ugly, I think if Trump gets elected, I'm telling
you right now, there's a very high likelihood he does get reelected, but if he does get
reelected, the next big thing you ought to worry about isn't COVID.
The next big thing you got to worry about is a cyber warfare, global power outage type
of a situation with China as an expert in right now
that they can pull off.
That's what they're going to do.
Under Trump, 1.0 was COVID.
Under Trump, 2.0 will be a major new pandemic
that has nothing to do with virus.
It's got to do with our lifestyle changes.
So what do you see the positives and negatives
and the ramifications specifically with China
if Trump gets real life?
Here's the negative.
You know they're not a fan of him.
I think that's a secret.
Here's the positive, here's the negative.
I'll give you both.
Okay.
To me, the negative is America's gonna look like it's in shambles.
Okay.
When Trump gets back into the office.
Let's just say, if you say optics wise.
Oh, it's gonna be in shambles because China is going to make America look like it's divided
at the highest level. Yeah, even worse than now. I think it's going to be way worse. I don't think
it's going to be better. I think you're going to see America in shambles. The only way it won't be
is in the following way. The only way it won't be is in the following way. If America gets so bad,
the next 12, 24 months, that both thems and Republicans come together
and they say, let's get this crazy Trump guy back.
Cause we think he can do it.
Which a likelihood of that happening is what?
Not very slim.
Very slim, right?
Democrats say, let's bring that back.
Trump bill Democrats, not all Democrats.
I'm not gonna need his five, 10%.
I'm not talking all Democrats.
I'm talking about influencer Democrats.
Like a Bill Mark comes out and says, you know what,
I'm not going to lie to you.
I'm starting to kind of sit there and say, if we're going to play against a country like
China, we need somebody crazy like Trump.
He just needs to make a comment like that and other people will follow.
Just like nobody thought, LeBron James the other day was going to post on Instagram
with Spider-Man pointing fingers at everybody saying, is it flu?
Is it cold?
Is it COVID?
What the hell is it?
Did you, everything,
LeBron was gonna tweet this out
and Clay Travis comes out and says,
finally LeBron and I agree on something.
What is LeBron trying to say here?
He's sick of the fact that they can't even play the game
because one day it's a cold,
one day it's a flu, one day it's a COVID.
So if somebody from that side comes out and says,
I think we need somebody like Trump,
then America's united, then they can't divide us.
But if America's still divided and Trump gets elected,
it's gonna be worse than what it was before.
But the reality of it is,
if you don't get somebody like that,
that's not afraid of going directly against China,
long term, America's gonna be controlled by China.
Well, I think, look, obviously we need to understand that China is our enemy numero uno.
That's for sure.
But I don't want to sacrifice domestic, you know, peace and tranquility for better international
trade warfare with China.
Meaning, okay, Trump maybe we better on China, but will he help bridge the gap domestically?
I've been pretty outspoken that I hope in 2024
to Santhus is at the head of the ticket,
Trump doesn't run, and we can get a young, energetic,
charismatic, strong leader in the White House.
As someone who has voted for Biden,
I would 100% vote for someone like to Santhus.
And my fear is Trump will do the same old rubble rousing, play to his base, beat Biden.
You know, I have, there's people that I don't think this will happen.
They are convinced.
I had an argument with this, a family member, and they're like, if Trump gets elected,
every single Democrat is going to jail.
I go, what are you talking about?
It's not going to happen.
I got that same thing.
Because it's going to, I don't argue, I'm arguing craziness.
But this is why what Trump has done,
the divisive side of things.
So, will I give Trump credit for how he's handled China?
For sure.
Has he been in mistakes with that?
Possibly as well.
But I don't want to sacrifice domestic peace
before going after China.
But sometimes you, sometimes you have to.
You know, let me explain.
I had a meeting with a bunch of our guys corporate executives in Dallas.
That's when I was in Dallas.
We had our annual carrier meeting.
And I got up and I said, you know what's one of my biggest concerns about hiring wholesalers or hiring executives from the insurance industry that have been around for 20, 30 years,
or just executives' period that have a nice resume. I see, you know, what's my biggest concern,
I said, what's your biggest concern? I said, they're professional hiding, go seek champions.
What do you mean? I said, wholesalers are the best at acting like they're working hard, but they're not.
I said executives have figured out the formula, how to use
the system to not work their best.
Most executives that you hire today, their best years are
behind them.
The challenge you have is hiring an executive that's still
in the hunt that's got so much pride that wants to get in
and get the job done.
Most people just want to come in and send a nice email, send a nice report, show some
numbers brag about it and come ask for a raise and get their bonus.
That's how they want to do.
With the lowest amount of energy out to put into it, that's the DNA of most executive
you hire.
In battle, that's 80% of them.
80% of them.
You've hired dozens and dozens and dozens of them.
I've hired many of them.
So you'll never know until you hired them,
you worked with them for six months to say,
this guy's way too political.
Oh my gosh, he's just playing a politics game
to get everybody on the side.
This guy's a worker, this guy's a freaking beast.
This guy's gonna get the job done.
That guy's just doing enough job to get the commission
and that's it, they're gonna go home.
That person's sick every single week,
someone's going on every single week,
they need two days off, three days off, four days off,
and it's ongoing, right?
They've learned how to play these cards.
Somebody taught them these bad habits.
Someone taught them these bad habits.
What's the point?
Here's the point.
Sometimes you need a son of a bitch to get the job done.
Sometimes you need a BMF.
The other day I got a text from a guy saying,
I'm here with Dan Fry.
I think Dan Fry, I don't know if you remember
Dan Fry, the UFC guy that used to fight.
Is that his name, Dan Fry, F-R-Y-E?
If you've ever seen this infamous fight between the two giants,
he's fighting a Chinese monster.
Don Fry, can you pull up his picture so people know who he is?
I don't know if you know who this guy is.
No.
If you follow UFC back in the days, like 15 years ago,
this guy was a guy that was probably one of the most feared men.
Look at that, that's that. Yeah, I've seen that before. Look, this guy was a guy that was probably one of the most feared men. Look at that.
That's that.
Yeah.
Go to his picture.
That guy.
Monster is who he was, right?
He sends me a message with this guy.
Oh, he was on Rogan Resort.
David, that guy's giving you a run for your money.
But it looks like Tom Selik.
Yeah, he does look like Tom.
He looks like Tom Selik.
Tom Selik.
Tom Stree.
He looks like he ate three Tom.
Got like Tom Selik.
I still look just like that.
Yeah, I believe.
We totally believe you. We totally believe you.
But you know, sends me a message saying,
yeah, I'm hanging out with the scaffer Christmas.
You know what I said to him?
I said, that's a qualified BMF.
Yeah.
And you know how massive it all won the BMF?
Baddest mother, you know, effort, et cetera.
It's not okay.
America kind of needs a BMF as a president today.
As much as everybody said,
we need somebody
that's non-controversial.
I need somebody like Joe Biden.
Look how much more alive are peaceful.
Look how much more red peace right now.
Look how much more red peace right now.
And then the other day somebody calls,
Biden on Christmas day, a father says,
hey, president, yeah, yeah, thank you so much
for everything and hey, let's go Brandon.
Yeah, yeah, let's go Brandon.
What do you mean, yeah, let's go Brandon?
There's gotta be something missing there to not know what's let's go Brandon. Yeah, yeah, let's go Brandon. What do you mean, yeah, let's go Brandon. There's gotta be something missing there
to not know what's let's go Brandon.
Did you think that was disrespectful though?
Do I think Lebron calling President Trump
and F and Trump disrespectful?
Yeah, that's an influencer.
I think that's disrespectful.
I think a guy that...
That wasn't his, this was on the phone to the president.
Let me tell you, if a, first of all, you know I don't like that kind of stuff.
I've never liked that kind of stuff.
It's not my style at all to do any of that kind of stuff.
I don't like you talking to a president that way.
But at the same time, if a person's coming out and saying something like that,
you ought to be aware to posit at that point and say,
what are you talking about?
I'm sorry, what?
That's really your best message on Christmas day.
You're getting a call and then you're using
that opportunity to do this.
That says more about your character than it says about.
But I understand why the list is.
Can we show that clip or no?
I, is it on Fox or CNN?
See if you can pull it up on Twitter
and just will commentate on it.
Go ahead David.
Pat, why don't you say that that if Biden
would have reacted to it,
it's almost like confirming that.
It's almost like giving that person more power.
Yeah, I get that, but I totally,
I don't even know if he fully knows
what's let's go Brandon.
I don't know.
I gotta imagine, well his wife gave an eye roll,
like a side eye.
She knew exactly what was going on.
Yeah, but it's not the, she's not the president.
No, he knows what's,
there's no way that he cannot be aware of what was going on. Yeah, but it's not the, she's not the president. No, he knows what's, like, there's no way
that he not be aware of what there's less
to president to just kind of say, yeah, let's go Brandon.
That's not a good look while he's pulling this up.
Let me tell you something.
I don't care if I have the opportunity
to do a phone call with Donald Trump
and I don't think it's a secret that I'm not a big fan of his.
And he's saying, hey, you just want to wish you
and your happy family, happy Hanukkah,
Merry Christmas, happy holidays,
wishing you the best of new year.
You know what I say?
Thank you very much, Mr. President.
I wish you a safety of your family.
And I hang up the phone and I say,
I just spoke to the frickin' President of the United States.
This isn't politics at that point.
But what does that point to you though?
You're a class act.
I'm just saying, like,
you have the opportunity to speak to the President
and you're gonna be, this guy's name is Schmeck.
I would like to like a frickin' schmuck. I would like, you have the opportunity to speak to the president and you're going to be, this guy's name is Schmeck. I would like to like a freaking schmuck.
I would like for you to hold LeBron just as accountable when we had this conversation
four months ago.
And you said, I don't think that's a big deal.
Well, there's a difference between saying it into the just atmosphere or saying it to
the president's face.
No, if LeBron would have been on the phone call with Trump and said, Trump, I think you're
a piece of crap.
You get me.
I would have said that as the guy said a chance to go to the White House and they said,
we refuse to go to the White House.
That's an insult.
I agree.
So, meaning, but to their face is so disrespectful.
How many shitty comments do you get on internet?
That's a lot of hate on the internet.
Lebron is not everybody.
No, Lebron is not everybody.
I agree with you on the Lebron.
So all I'm saying is say that, but hold the fire on the same side of your end.
Don't just say it on the opposite side.
I'm not going to get on and say, hey, Mr. Joe Biden, President Joe, let's go, what are
you doing?
You get an opportunity to do this.
That just says a lot about you.
The guy is probably a troll trying to make an opportunity out of it.
It is what it is.
All I'm saying to you is the same people that sat there and said, man, I'm just done with this SOB as a president, man.
It's because everything's a frickin' fine.
It's somebody a little bit more peaceful.
Yeah, okay, no problem.
You keep doing that in a guy behind closed doors
and making a phone call saying, take all my negative reviews
down because I am such and such from China
and they're gonna constantly impose.
Look, let's just say you were nemesis.
Let's just say we're enemies, you and I.
But we'll go to lunch, we'll have dinner together,
we'll have a conversation together,
and you're reasonable, and I'm reasonable.
Guess what?
We'll make your work.
Makes sense, we'll make your work.
But let's say you have not an ounce of reason in you.
You don't have an ounce of willingness to work with me.
Do you think I should be hiring somebody
that's a softie to go in a room with you to negotiate.
Yeah, I don't know if I'm gonna be comfortable with that.
We need somebody that's gonna be able to handle
somebody like you, if that's who you're as an emphasis.
What is China's DNA today?
Are they willing to collaborate?
Are they willing to be reasonable?
Is there any ounce of reason being seen by China?
I don't think so.
You need somebody that can handle situation like that.
And by the way, I'm not shocked about
what Xi Jinping is doing. Obviously, he's silencing And by the way, I'm not shocked about what Gigi Ping is doing.
Obviously, he's silencing voices.
You know, I was at that Gary Casper
I've invited me to that freedom forum.
I told this story, I'll tell it again.
You know, it's dissident from all over the world.
The one Iranian journalist, the girl with the great hair.
She knows who you are.
You know who she is.
Great. She spoke.
And I rack a guy a week ago from China.
I spoke to the, a wiger from China. She's very nice, sorry.
I spoke to this one lady.
She had her own area called the Firewall Cafe.
And she basically, the whole purpose was,
you pull up an internet, you Google,
an example that she did, was you Google,
Tyler, do this, let's do this experiment.
Google, Xi Jinping, Winnie the Pooh.
Have you seen this?
Yeah.
Okay.
Xi Jinping, Winnie the Pooh.
So if you do that in America, this is what pops up, right?
Images of Xi Jinping looking like Winnie the Pooh.
Okay, ha ha ha, he kind of has, bearish demeanor. Okay, it's
funny. Obviously he's not a freaking yellow cartoon, whatever. If you do that in China, you
know what pops up? Hmm. Just images of Xi Jinping. Zero. We need the poo. And then if I say,
all right, let's try something else. Pull up Donald Trump. If you pull up Donald Trump
in America here, it's just images of Donald Trump. Right you pull up Donald Trump in America here, pull just images of Donald Trump.
Right?
You're gonna see some good stuff, some bad stuff,
some family stuff, some honorable stuff.
But for the most part, do you think
those are bad images of Donald Trump?
No.
No.
Every image that you put up in China
is hair flip to a side, he's yelling,
he's doing his thing, it's the censorship.
And it's exactly what we talked about
when the Amazon reviews.
It's five stars or it's nothing.
How long can that last?
How long can people just say,
I got no say, I got no voice?
What do you mean?
I mean, you have to realize.
You know how you ask somebody,
I like to ask people,
and I say, so are you from?
I'm from Montana.
So how was it grown up here?
You know what's the common answer people say?
I don't know any other one.
All I know is Montana.
All I know what it is to grow up in China. All I know what it is to grow up in China.
All I know what it is to grow up in Iran.
All I know is what it is to grow up in Leningrad.
They don't know the difference.
So that can go on for a long, long time.
But they know, I mean, like, let's use North Korea as an example.
I mean, that's an extreme example.
I'm not saying that North Korea is China,
but I mean, our friend, what's our girl's name?
You know me part.
No, me part, my girl.
She knew exactly why they're trying to sneak out of North Korea.
They know what's going on.
You know how she got out.
It was insane.
How she got out.
Yeah, that's not everyone's way of getting out.
But the point is they're aware of their horrible lifestyle.
Yeah.
To the point of how long can people go with this?
These were experiments run in the 50s and the 60s.
Long story short, they ran one experiment to see who would shock somebody if an authority
figure told them to.
65% of people would kill another person if they were told to.
And in this one on the right, there's another experiment in the 50s to see how much social
pressure from a majority could
affect people and the conclusion was people were literally willing to ignore reality to
conform to the group.
So it's pure pressure as a series.
How long can people accept this and say we have no voice for as long as the authorities
tell them to?
I mean, it's not as far-fetched as one might imagine.
But Adam, to your point about Trump destroying democracy
to go after China, and we should have DeSantis.
And you have to think.
I think it's destroying democracy.
I just, you know, civility.
Civility.
Well, you have to think that even no matter who it is,
if somebody goes after China, they're gonna destroy civility.
Because who owns Forbes now?
It's China, right?
It's a Chinese company.
Harvard has taken a billion dollars in donations from China.
And that's just what's reported.
There's been a lot of... I was just saying that. Exactly. There's a bit over, like, a billion dollars in donations from China. And that's just what's reported. There's been over 10 billion dollars given to American universities.
Okay.
What is it called Confucius Schools?
Yeah, exactly.
Half of the active ingredients in American pharmaceuticals come from China.
I mean, they have so much power.
Eric Swallow was sleeping with a Chinese spy.
Diane Feinstein's driver for 20 years was a Chinese spy.
I mean, if we go after China,
they're gonna wreck the country.
They have their tentacles in everywhere
and they're gonna pull their manipulation in control
and it's gonna be ugly.
I think if you do or you don't,
they're gonna do it anyways.
I think if you do or you don't,
they're gonna do it anyways.
I just think you need a strong figure
that can go up against somebody like that,
that's not scared.
I don't think you need a softie to do that.
I think you need somebody real.
Pat, we touched on the chart.
I don't think we really got into it.
The visual capitalist chart.
Yeah, you wanna pull that up?
Yeah.
What did you wanna say on that?
You had comments on it?
Yeah, I just said,
look, I went down this chart
and I was looking at it, right?
And this is,
this is a 94 trillion out of world economy
to date in one chart.
Exactly, and they're basically saying by next year, 2022, And this is a 94 trillion dollar world economy to date in one chart. Exactly.
And they're basically saying by next year, 2022,
the 94 trillion, we're gonna add 6 trillion.
And top of it, as a world GDP economy
to go on their own.
This is what I found encouraging.
So USA still number one,
respect at almost 23 trillion dollars, okay?
We printed more money in the past 24 months
than literally every other country
than China makes in a full-on year, every other country.
That's how much money we printed.
So other than China, here are the countries in the top 10.
Japan, five trillion, Germany, four trillion, UK, India,
still under three trillion.
France, Italy, Canada, South Korea,
you go other than China, everything in the top 10
is our ally.
Something just to make note of, number 11, Russia,
1.6 trillion, we hear about Big Bad Russia, Big Bad Russia,
they have a smaller economy than South Korea.
Just put that in perspective,
that the largest country by landmass in the world,
and they make less,
they have less GDP than South Korea. Then you got Brazil, Australia, Spain, Mexico, and
not until you get down into Iran, which makes us about as much as Saudi Arabia at number
17, do you have a, you know, quote unquote, ally of China in the mix. So even if China does
surpass United States, and I expect them to do so, Elon
Musk came out and said that he's probably thinks it's going to be double in the next
few decades, the world, if we stay together, you know, NATO allies, what have you, we still
have the, I think, the top 10 allies are then China, Two-thirds of the world GDP.
Here's, here's, I, then that's great that you're saying that this is very good news,
but I will tell you this.
You have to keep in mind.
So, what causes China's GDP to get to 30 trillion?
GDP, GDP.
Yeah.
What will cause it to get to 30 trillion?
How do you get to 30 trillion?
How do you create that much commerce?
Because of all the...
Because the world's still buying from China?
So that's what I'm saying to you. So no matter how much those guys are all allies, you know how it's like, it's like this.
It's like everybody can come around and talk shit about a guy until the guy shows up in the room and what did they say?
Oh, what's up, Johnny? How you doing? It's like, oh,
Oh, oh, how are you? Oh my gosh. So until the guy walks in the room, everybody talks shit until he's eventually
sender saying, dude, we still need that guy's manufacturing. We it's kind of like this. No, FDA. Okay.
You know when they say this is FDA approved. This is FDA approved. This is FDA approved. What do you think they get their funding?
Is it from China?
I know the world. What percentage of FDA you think gets their funding from from Big Pharma? What percentage you think is Big Pharma?
Oh, what percentage from Big Pharma?
Big Pharma, yeah.
90 something percent.
It's 45 percent.
So think about FDA gets 45 percent
their funding from Big Pharma, right?
So who do you think FDA reports to?
You think FDA reports to you?
You think FDA reports to me?
You think FDA wakes up every morning worried
about kids, husbands, wives? Or do you think FDA wakes up every morning worried about kids, husbands, wives?
Or do you think FDA wakes up every morning saying,
we better not lose that what?
The 45% of funding that we get from big pharma, okay?
How many large media companies are controlled by big pharma?
So no matter what, when Bernie Sanders gets up
and says, well, he shouldn't let big pharma do this,
oh, really, go try to, if every time he says that, CNN doesn't like that story.
MSNBC doesn't like that story.
Why?
Because as much as CNN and MSNBC will do a soft story
on big pharma, they're not going to go after big pharma
the way they go after Trump.
Why?
Because big pharma funds CNN.
Right.
All of these countries you just talked about going up against China
if China makes their money because everybody needs to rely on their medicine their AC their technology their chips all this stuff because of China
You're eventually going to get to a point of desperation
We're going to say China can we create an arrangement together?
Can we create a contract together? It is not a look every great company every great country, every great league that excels for a decade
or two has a great number one.
A great number one inspires others, okay?
When America was number one, what did America inspire others to do?
Maybe capitalism works, okay?
Maybe capitalism works.
Other countries said, we also ought to do capitalism.
But if China is number one,
what did they inspire another people to do?
You think that's a good number one for the world?
That's not a good number one.
So what I'm trying to say is,
you know, when you are number one,
you have a lot of influence and power.
I'm very much pro.
Here's a number I follow.
Do you know what is a percentage of GDP
that India has grown this year in 2021?
What do you think is the growth of GDP?
percentage.
percentage.
8.5%.
0.6% higher than last year.
I love the fact that India is growing.
Right.
Well, there's still under $3 trillion.
It's no problem.
They're going to grow so, look how fast
who was China 30 years ago? Nobody. Who was China today? Number two. It's no problem. They're going to grow so, look how fast. Who was China 30 years ago?
Nobody.
Who was China today?
Number two.
Who's India today?
Don't get it twisted.
Look how quickly India is going to come up.
So you're saying that's going to be a good thing for the world.
Fantastic.
If India.
Fantastic.
Would it be a good thing of the world if you, sorry, if India surpasses China and the US?
India's not a bad number one.
India's not a bad number one.
Because they're a democracy?
India doesn't wake up in the morning saying, you better think like us or else.
India doesn't wake up in the morning with Modi saying,
take all the negative reviews off.
India doesn't do that.
That's what China does.
China believes in force.
India doesn't believe in force.
It's a mindset.
You want the right mindset to be number one.
Why is Steph Curry good for the NBA?
Because it gets any other kid that's short saying,
I can make it in the NBA as well.
That's why he's good for the NBA.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Yeah, of course.
I'm not everyone's going to be six out to 50 like the bond.
You could point six to one on 80 like the way 250 was years ago.
He's more like 275 to eat runs like a center right now.
You're looking to be like this guy's not a three or two.
He's a five right now.
Well, look at him.
Speaking of pushing back against China or a big pharma,
you know, it starts somewhere like Bernie, like you brought up Bernie Sanders, but like
as an example, you know, NBA gets a lot of heat for not pushing back against China and
what they did in Hong Kong and the, you know, pro democracy in Darimori, Houston,
rockets, all that.
But you got to respect what like the women's tennis association just did in China.
I was tremendous.
Like are you kidding me?
What they did is they were not playing anymore games in China.
Absolutely. Because they're basically downplaying not playing anymore games in China. Absolutely.
Because basically down playing will happen to the Chinese.
Remember when I said this to you, remember when I said this three months ago on a podcast,
when it was me, you Gerard, and one other person, and I said, watch the NBA flip their position
on China when LeBron tweets something bad about China.
Okay.
You just saw the NBA having to respond to whose tweet that just came out in the last week.
LeBronz.
What do LeBronz say?
What the hell is this?
COVID Floreco, tell me, because it's really pissing me off.
I wanna play the game of basketball, right?
Props to the guy, the guy who loves the game of basketball.
He's not trying to stay out of the game.
He ain't Kyrie, he's trying to play the game, right?
Okay, no problem.
LeBron is gonna tweet something negative
about China in the next few months.
Watch one, matter of fact, do me a favor and notice in your account so we know how to
bring back this video.
Put it in your phone notes and text it to me so I can remember this state for us to remember
exactly when this happened.
LeBron's going to get out there and he's going to say something negative about China because
he's not going to have any choice, not to say it.
He has to say it.
He's going to say it.
Everyone's going to flip their position on China with NBA.
Why would he do something like that? Because, because enough of people have been asking
them the question to say, why do you call out Trump? Why do you call out this? Why do you call out that?
Why do you call out this? Yeah. Where you say nothing about China. Why? He's eventually going to flip
the switch and he's going to say that. But it's not not gonna happen for a few months. He'll eventually do that.
Anyway, so you're thinking by the end of this season, right? Because the season is gonna be on till June. Yeah, that's the next three or six months.
I think it happened in 2022. He's gonna come out. What do you think it's gonna be a tweet? Like you're making a prediction, right?
I'm making a prediction. He's gonna do something in 2022 saying something negative about China. Either defending an ally of US that's against China
or opposing China.
This happened next to-
Like something like Dara Mori's did
when he defended the protesters in Hong Kong.
Exactly.
Six to 12 months, that's gonna happen.
So you think he's ready for that Chinese backlash?
I see.
What do you think China will do
if LeBron does something like that?
No, the way LeBron's gonna do it
is after knowing that the NBA is not gonna go into China,
it's not gonna affect this pocket. That's how it happens.
I thought he's going to become a billionaire in the next 12 to 24 months.
If you think that he's that concerned about his pocket.
Let me ask you a question. For him to say something about COVID flu code,
who's he calling out?
I think he's just calling out the double standard that's out there just in general.
You think he's looking calling out Fouchy? He thinks calling out Biden. You think he's calling out the NBA
Of course it is. It's a direct call out of the NBA policies and the NBA policies are direct reflection of Fouchy's policies
And Fouchy's policies are direct reflection of the guy that appoint them even after Trump, which is who Biden of course
It's a call out 1 million percent so call out. Yeah, absolutely. He took a risk when he did that you want to talk about this what how would Trump and
I want to talk about one thing spider-man the movie have you seen it? No, okay? Let me take this I watch the movie
No, I want I'm just gonna keep this one minute if you've not seen it
First 45 minutes right to theater Jennifer's looking at me saying babe. I can't watch this movie anymore. I said babe
I'm with you. She's gonna take the kid home. Can I say, okay, you go home.
She goes home because she needs to nurse
where in Montana watching this movie.
I'm gonna stay here because we're like 15 people.
So I'm gonna stick around.
I stick around.
I keep my head down and I'm texting
and I'm working at this time.
So I'm not gonna just do what I'm doing to work.
Kids can watch the movie.
10 minutes later, 20 minutes later,
30 minutes later, all of a sudden,
the movie's got my attention.
Adam, the last 30 minutes of the movie,
it's some of the most emotional 30 minutes
of any movie I've ever watched.
I mean, I'm not even kidding with you.
If you've not watched,
when have you heard me come and promote a movie
like Smirzy Fall asleep in movies?
Yes, I telling you right now,
you gotta go watch the last 30 minutes of Spider-Man.
And then come back and say,
first billion dollar flick since 2019 COVID, there's a reason for that.
The story is unfrikin, believable, emotional.
Last 30 minutes, I'm sitting there pissed off.
There's two guys sitting to my right on the theater.
And all I'm saying is, what the,
so you make me fricking cry here?
What is the matter with you?
You shoulda dear for Spider-Man.
How do you know?
What going on there? The last 30 minutes is magical. Whatever you do before the end of the year, go watch this
freaking movie. It's sick, but be patient the first 45 minutes. It's going to drive you
insane, but the climax is going to be insane. The last 30 minutes, you will sit there and
say, what a freaking feeling.
You want to have you guys seen this spider man? Yeah. Have you seen it yet or not?
No, I want to watch.
I'm a big Marvel guy. I know I see it. What a freaking feeling. You want to have you guys seen this Spider-Man? Have you seen it yet or not? No, I want to watch. Edmund Tyler?
Have you guys seen it?
I'm not a big Marvel guy.
I want to see it.
It's my only crazy guy that thinks this last 35 minutes
was sick.
If you haven't seen it, I'm telling you, go watch this thing.
It's an insane last 30 minutes to the movie.
Anyways, that's a quick plug for Spider-Man.
This part is not.
This is not a guy.
I'm not going to say that it's a podcast Spider-Man.
It is not.
Wow.
But you will love that.
Next, let's talk about a hero. Let's talk about a hero.
We just broke a world record.
Let's talk about a hero.
There's a man out there who's named Elon Musk.
I don't know if you've heard about him or not.
David, have you heard about the Skyrim Elon Musk?
Yeah, he texted me on Facebook.
So Elon Musk, this guy, you know he broke a record this year.
You know what the record is?
The most taxes ever paid by an individual.
Oh, he tweeted it too.
He did tweet it.
Yes, you want to pull that up?
So Elon Musk says he's going to pay somewhere between 11
to $12 billion in taxes this year, himself.
This is an insider story.
Musk claimed that he will pay more taxes
than any American in the history.
This year in response to Elizabeth Warren, aka Pocahanna's tweet
that he was freeloading off everyone else.
Musk has exercised a large number of Tesla shares,
options this year and must pay tax
on the difference between exercise price
and a fair market value shares,
which is up 30% year to date.
He hasn't turned so large chunks of Tesla shares
to meet the tax obligation.
Musk is currently worth $243 billion, and he's paying $11 billion of taxes.
And this is a tweet from a little over a week ago, nine days ago, for those wondering,
I will pay over $11 billion in taxes this year, okay.
And I retweeted it and I said, this guy ought to be a hero.
This guy to get so much credit and people are saying, yeah,
but he only paid $11 billion.
What's $11 billion on such and such?
As soon as you just put it to this way,
he paid more taxes.
Think about what I'm about to tell you here right now.
He paid more taxes than every single president,
every single congressman,
every single senator ever combined.
That's how much taxes one guy paid. You wanna say that one more time?
He paid more taxes than every senator,
every congressman, every president ever combined.
That's how much this guy paid in taxes
and they're still trashin' the guy, okay?
They're still saying, well, this is not fair,
well, he should pay more, he should do this, he should do that.
Now, the guy deserves a frickin' Nobel Prize.
Rather than given these Nobel Prize as a way,
why don't you go give this guy a Nobel Prize?
And on top of that, give him a purple heart as well.
Because for what this guy's done,
he's created so many jobs
and with the technology that he's creating,
it is not easy to be him.
It is not easy to live his life, it sucks.
His life sucks.
People think his life is awesome. The guy's going 24-7 with so much pressure in his life, it sucks, his life sucks. People think his life is awesome.
The guy's going 24-7 with so much pressure in his brain,
got five kids sacrifice all of that
to create this incredible technology
and company that's being used.
I think it deserves a Nobel Prize if you ask me.
Yeah, well I love this tweet right there.
Liquidity, it's the account that I follow, they says,
why not 200 billion, asking for a senator?
And he just full on calls out Senator Karen, Elizabeth,
you know what, she, it's...
I know you're a big fan of her, like you're a big fan.
No, I'm not a fan of her, but I am a phantom musk.
And, you know, her argument carries weight.
The billionaires need to pay more.
The billionaires need her, feather, fair share,
all the Bernie stuff, until they actually freaking pay.
So it's all lip service until he says,
listen, and this is what I love about Elon Musk.
I just paid 11 billion dollars,
what now Karen, and now what does she say?
So you should pay 12 billion.
Yeah, and she gets off of a private jet
and claiming she's for the low and middle income families.
Listen, I understand being on a private jet.
It's a very good season right now to be on a private jet
because people don't want to deal with the mask
and all these other mandates, right?
Totally get it.
But you cannot say, oh, rich people this
and you're getting off a private jet, stop it.
Hypocrisy at the highest level.
You just don't get to use those two words.
Low and middle income families cannot afford
to be on private jet.
You know what she's worth?
You know what Elizabeth Warren's worth?
What is Elizabeth Warren?
You want to pull up her network?
I think it's like 13 to 20 million dollars.
Some number like that.
Elizabeth Warren, net worth, I think it's like,
let's see what the number is.
12 million dollars.
Okay, I was off by a million dollars.
So I'm sorry, Elizabeth.
You know, $12 million network, and she claims she's poor.
What?
Look, any Bernie Sanders's worth, what is Bernie Sanders worth?
Are you doing it right now?
He's worth how many million?
For me, if you're 80 years old,
I don't care what field you're in.
This is not even being political right now.
If you're 80 years old and you're worth $3 million,
congrats you've saved your money
and you invested in your 401k,
and you've done like three millions
is not a lot of 80 years old.
Yeah, well it is when you've worked for the government for your entire life.
Well, you still get paid what is what is the center of your public?
You're a public certain amount of money in a box a year.
Yeah.
So I don't like Nancy Pelosi, who's worth a hundred million?
What is Nancy Pelosi worth?
I think it's like a hundred million.
Okay, now I got some questions.
Okay, and did you see what, and you know, the whole-
She's a great stock picker.
Exactly.
But do you see what AOC said?
Yeah.
She said that senators or congressmen, congresspeople
shouldn't-
You saw her response.
Yeah.
So as much as people talk about socialism and AOC
and she sucks, you gotta give her a little bit of credit
for that.
By the way, you saw what Manshin's doing.
So Manshin said no to build back better.
Okay, which Goldman Sachs came out and said,
is costing the US economy $60 billion
by tanking build back better, which by the way,
drives me insane when Goldman Sachs says things like this,
as great of a company as they are
when it comes down to getting things done.
But to say it's gonna cost $60 billion,
you know, economists are already forecasting
that the build back better for economy
will look like the early projections are gloomy Goldman Sachs
economists led by Jan Hatsios now expert USGDB to go a 2% quarter. There was all this other stuff saying the fact that it's going to cost $60 billion of losses in the next
three quarters. Okay, fine. You know what mansion turned around and set after all the heat he got. I'm sure you saw that. He now says he would support a tax on billionaires.
Washington Post story has told the White House
that he would support some version of tax
targeting billionaires' wealth
as part of Biden's Build Back Better Economic Gend
according to three people familiar with his private offer.
While the specifics of what mansion would support
remain on clear Senate Finance Committee,
Chairman Ron Wyden has unveiled a tax
aimed at accrued wealth of America's approximately 700 billionaires the measures aimed at addressing the
massive gains of the wealth use americans with a federal tax and probably
would be unprecedented in how few people would affect congressman nop non-partisan
scorekeepers has estimated it could take as much as 550 billion dollars over the
next ten years or pay more than a quarter of Democrats spending bills.
So he will support some form, maybe, tax for billionaires.
Interesting, though, right?
Makes you think.
Sort of a little counterintuitive to what he sort of stands for, right?
I think this is the part where behind closed doors negotiations are being had.
And on one end you say, hey, I'm not going to do this,
but at least you got to support us on XYZ calls, right? You know, because the story came out
in saying West Virginia business leaders are rallying behind a mansion for opposing Biden's
build back better. So he's getting the support of the business man, but you flip and you
sell him an attack to Billionaire. So it's a little bit tricky on what's going on. Well, the whole thing with media these days, you give the example right now that you always
talk about, we're so quick to respond.
You used to back in the day before cell phones, you would get in a fight with your wife,
you'd be driving home, and you'd have a half hour to cool down.
And when you get home, hey, honey, I'm sorry. Now it's, I'm on the way.
What are you talking about?
Your text thing, your phone, so the point
that I'm getting at is when it's politics.
We're watching the sausage get made every single day.
News coverage, every single day, politics, CNBC,
MSNBC, Fox News, they're dissecting everything,
podcasts, dissecting, mentioned to this,
mentioned to that.
So we're watching the sausage get made.
What's the point?
Do you think that there's another deal that's going to come on the table?
You better bet your bet.
Of course.
Okay.
There's another deal to be had.
There was a famous line about Clinton that you know, you could impeach him on Monday.
You can play golf with him on Tuesday and you'd cut a deal with him on Wednesday.
He removes the emotions and politics.
I've been talking about Joe Manchin for how long?
Three years before he was even a household name right now.
I used to watch him.
You watch him.
Yes.
I've been saying, I'm a fan of Morning Joe, who's a little to anti-Trump
at this point.
Also, he did give Trump a shout out what he said about the vaccine.
But well, they used to be best friends.
That's what makes it really interesting.
Yeah, exactly.
Until he'd talked about me, gun, bleed and all over face.
But mansion used to come on.
This is three years ago and very sound mind,
very sensible, spoke truth to power,
but he was a West Virginian.
And I respected what he stood for.
And now he's getting a lot of hate.
And look, any Democrat that can get elected
in the redest state in the country, West Virginia,
you got to take notice of.
And you got to give him a little credit
for basically having guts to say,
there's no question about that.
I got to see the numbers here.
We're not going to pass the bill
until the way what's going on.
White frankly, long term, he's helping the Democratic Party.
Long term, he's helping the Democratic party, long term he's helping
not lose the moderate Democrats.
That's what he's doing to not lose.
There's a lot of moderate Democrats like you that don't want to be a registered independent
or registered Republican.
Are you independent or are you?
I'm considering going back to independent.
I was independent.
Can I want to Democrat?
And now I'm thinking about going.
I've been independent for about a little over 10 years.
Yeah.
That's what I've been up. Where were you before that? So I went to a. And now I'm thinking about that. I've been independent for about a little over 10 years. That's what I've been now. Where were you before that?
So I went to a left-right center.
Wow.
I went left-right centers when I've been now over 10 years
of registered independence.
So anyways, that thing, guys, a very necessary guy.
I think it's more important for everyone out there
to be a registered independent.
Whether you're Republican or I think to actually be an independent
and not be held by one party's personality,
and then just be independent and say,
you know what, I'm going this side this way,
I'm going this side this way.
But you gotta give Manchin credit for what he's doing.
And then you have someone out there,
my mom's gonna get so mad at me right now,
because she's such a big fan of bedmiddler.
But bedmiddler comes out and you hear what she said about West Virginians.
So bedmiddler, I'll just read the story.
She apologizes on Twitter for her outburst calling West Virginia poor any literate.
I'm just seeing red right now.
And strung out.
And strung out.
What Joe Manchin who represents a population smaller than Brooklyn
has done to the rest of America who wants to move forward not backward like his state is
horrible. He sold us out. He wants us all to be just like his state. West Virginia, poor
illiterate and strong out. Bet midler, the hypocrisy right there.
Well, this is the big ask. This has to be right.
This has to be right.
This has to be right.
This has to be right.
This has to be right.
This has to be right.
This has to be right.
This has to be right.
This has to be right.
This has to be right.
This has to be right.
This has to be right.
This has to be right.
This has to be right.
This has to be right.
This has to be right.
This has to be right. This has to be right.
This has to be right.
This has to be right.
This has to be right.
This has to be right. This has to be right. This has to be right. This has to be right. This has to be right. This has to be right. But people that aren't them, that aren't the coastal elite. It's like, there's a quote that goes around that people don't hate Trump
because he's Trump.
People hate Trump because they hate his supporters.
They hate the hardworking people.
They hate the working class.
They hate those that didn't go to an Ivy League school.
It's like Gerardo, he says, the truck drivers are hated
because they make 140 grand a year while the person who graduated from Harvard
with a degree in racial studies makes 35,000 a year.
This illustrates so well the hatred they have
for people that aren't of their class.
Listen, I gotta give shout out to Adriano Valentino
from Australia.
At this point, listen, Adam, he's given $10, $20
like 10 times and haven't said anything,
but he just gave $100.
I just gotta read what he said.
He's been saying the same thing.
Yeah, Adam, the whole thing with media.
People like you and Morning Joe calling Trump divisive.
He's been saying this nonstop.
So he's saying you should stop calling Trump divisive.
Do you have anything to tell our friend, Adriano here?
Do you spend a thousand dollars to me?
We'll see what we can do.
Adriano.
By the way, he's got a great name right there.
Okay, let's go to a last story here.
We got four minutes before we wrap up.
Car prices, use car prices are now growing at a faster rate than Bitcoin.
Market researcher Jim Bianco warns.
It's called bubbleicious.
Who was trying to buy a car?
A use car.
What was it?
What did you say?
He said a Honda HRV.
Somebody in the office can buy a Honda HRV new for 23,000 I believe and they were trying to buy a used one
It was like 30 grand. That's just freaking crazy to me
You know, and we were asking I asked David. What is a US car? What is a US car?
Have that a brand new car doesn't have you said it's got miles on it. It's got miles on it
That's the difference anyways research right yeah in depth research
So Bitcoin is up 5 percent over the last four months
based on Thursday stock market close.
The SMP is up 26% so far this year,
but apparently these use car prices,
they've gone up 49, call it 50%.
So instead of buying Bitcoin by a bunch of use cars
and sitting in a backyard and waiting for it to go up,
that's pretty much a strategy.
So what you're doing, David?
It's exactly what I'm doing.
That's why I was waiting for a week.
I was wondering why the other day I pulled into work,
I'm like, there's not a single parking spot up here.
What the hell is David doing?
I'm like 30 cars here.
Do you have any thoughts on that or not?
Yeah, I've got a lot of kids.
I'm looking at cars right now,
and I actually got to give a shout out to my buddy,
Joey B. Up in Pittsburgh right now,
who actually works for an auto dealer.
And look, number one, a car is not an investment.
So this article by CNBC is actually just looking
for headlines, looking for clicks.
You can be sponsored by Uber.
Exactly.
Look, there's a couple of things
that are driving the prices up of cars.
Number one, the global supply chain supply and demand.
They're not making enough cars
because not a lot of people are working
and everyone needs a car right now, right?
You all hear about the chip shortages, right?
You hear about the big thing,
you remember this, this is my point here.
And I asked, dude, why are car prices going up?
So this guy specializes in cars.
It actually might be a great interviewer value payment.
They specialize in cars.
And he says, you remember at the beginning of the pandemic
when Hertz and Alamo and all the car companies sold hundreds
of thousands of cars because nobody was driving.
They got rid of their cars.
They got rid of their supply.
And then all of a sudden demand has shot up.
So what's happening now is these rental car companies are basically saying, of their cars. They got rid of their supply. And then all of a sudden demand has shot up. So what's happening now is these rental car companies
are basically saying, we need cars.
We've sold all our cars.
We need cars.
So there's an auction for cars that you need to be a dealer
to go.
And these car rental companies are going
and paying above asking price because they need the flipping
cars.
And they're saying, okay, cool, that's 10 grand,
we'll give you 12 grand, that's 15 grand,
we'll give you 20 grand, because they need the inventory.
And it's driving the price up, it's driving the price up
and the driving the price up, it's supply and demand.
I say, the tenors come together, start to go find me,
raising off money, and by UA, I don't know,
used 1979 Honda Core.
Okay. And with low profile wheels, a decent system. money and by UA, I don't know, used 1979 Honda Accord.
Okay. And with low profile wheels, a decent system.
Sound system. Pioneer. Yeah. Pioneer.
Base in the trunk. And park it outside. And license plate says
a sauce TKS dollar sign.
Sauce TKS dollar sign.
You just have to make sure you don't wreck it at all.
By the way, you can actually buy a Honda Core 1979
for less than a thousand dollars.
Yeah.
Legit.
Legit.
It's considered classic.
Well, maybe our friend Adriana will donate a thousand bucks
or buy a car and then I'll be less divisive
and I'll just drive around.
Check this out.
Mr. Clean Bald guy, that's his name.
I wish you had a different name, but that's your name.
You made that your count name.
He says, I'm a fraud analyst for Xperian
and I specifically deal
with finance of use cars.
As soon as the chips come in all
of these people who just bought
are going underwater immediately
10 to 40 percent.
Explain that again.
So what he's trying to say is the
moment the chips come in,
all these use prices are going to
go back to the prices.
They weren't going to drop 50 percent.
The cars.
The cars. That's what he's saying.
So the whole article is basically calling bubble-licious.
It's a car.
It's a bubble.
Yeah, that's what he's saying.
Your car that should be worth 10, that you paid $15.24, it's going to go down to 8.
So David buying all these used cars in a parking lot, he's about to lose a ton of money.
No, I got to flip them like now, Pat.
That's what we're going to wrap this up.
Anyway, take folks.
When are these chips coming in?
That's the question.
You want you to call G-Ching Pink? Ask him. Hey, folks, today's debate, when are these chips coming in? That's the question. Why don't you call G-Ching Ping, ask him.
Hey, folks, today's debate.
Today's debate, don't forget.
