We got Kai. We got salmon Vanessa back there. Anyways, we got a lot of crazy topics to cover. Seriously, like this has been a weekend filled with many stories, right? It's a crazy weekend. What happened? Whether it's the shoes that came out by little Nazx, which we have to cover this Luke 1018, one out of 66. We'll cover the shoes and a new music. I don't know.

And Ray Dahlios is not a lightweight guy to say something like that. The media slashing jobs again due to Trump news cycles. Elon Musk raises doubts about Tesla's battery selling electric truck production this year.

Norway, by the way way these two Norway stories. How often do we get two Norway stories in there? We only got these because there's a monopoly. There's a conspiracy on the team. Now we're there. We are only subjecting ourselves to Norway stories that the only European story. Do you think it has to do with Kai's new fight club haircut that he got? I wonder if he met a girl at a club. No. He promised her if he'd no way stories. No, no, she looked at it. She didn't happen.

She looked at him. She looked at him and she says, you know what? I swear to God, if you got a haircut, you'd look like Brad Pitt from Fight Club. Do you think like, God, did you get a compliment like that from a girl? So he gets that haircut. Can't confirm Northern Ireland. Okay, there you go.

I'll take that. I'll take that. I'll take that. Or maybe he's pushing these cashless stories on us because he'd ever carry any cash. He's trying to validate it. So Norway, two stories. Norway is the world's most cashless country, but its central bank isn't keen on Bitcoin.

It doesn't preserve stability. FYI, that story I sent to Kai. So Kai's the first one. I don't even give you that story. Norway Central Bank looks beyond COVID-19. That's Kai's story. 5,000 people attended a rock concert in Barcelona after COVID-19 screen. CDC will extend national eviction ban through June 30th.

It's so interesting and an interview. Maybe we'll talk about that the ideal team very team Yeah, absolutely and then a few other events one of the things that I didn't want to talk about is no more draw sergeant shark attack army moves A few other events, one of the things that I didn't want to talk about is no more drill sergeant, shark attack, army moves toward kinder basic training.

I have questions for you on that. How about we go into that? How about we start with, we're going to do Amazon. We're doing a cool follow up. Let's go straight to the no more drill sergeant idea, page eight. Okay, here we go. Okay. So, I'm by the way, if you're watching this, if you enjoy the podcast, do me a favor

more than just twice a week. Okay, so let's take a look at this. Let's take a look at this. Let's take a look at this. No more drill sergeant shark attack. Army moves towards kind of basic training, says Yahoo. The US Army has replaced the chaotic reception

of recruits entering basic training, have long received from shouting drill sergeants with a training event designed to create a bond with their teammates and leaders. They want a basic training combat training has always been a ride of passage that involved menacing groups of drill sergeants descending on terrified recruits yelling commands and ordering trainings to perform pushups and other exercises with packed duffel bags strap to their backs. Commence our major Robert Fortenberry described how a 22-week infantry one station unit training has replaced

a shark attack with the first 100 days, a new introductory training event being instituted at basic boot camp, basic combat training sites across the country. So essentially, they're getting away from that pressure type of an environment that they had. Tom, I'll go to you first. What do you think about it? My first reaction was, okay, here we go again. This country is just a bunch of weaklings, soft people, and they've got to adjust to that,

which might be part of it. I think that has to be part of it. The culture that were, or the generation of potential recruits that were thrown the army's way, I'm sure is not what it was a few years ago. I was watching the Steven Spielberg documentary on HBO, on HBO Max a couple nights ago.

It was utterly fascinating. And then when you look at some of the movies he made, you know, the Holocaust, you know, covering that, Lincoln, right, Frieden the Slaves, World War II, right? He, we were different people back then as Americans. A hell of a lot tougher than we are now. So I was thinking our, my first reaction was, this makes no sense why you're doing it, but it kind of does, in my opinion, because warfare is changing, right? You're not in those front lines.

You're not attacking the military on an open field, the enemy. You're not hiding behind a bunker or digging a trench. So the war is just totally different. It's more tech. It's attacking other countries' infrastructures and doing things like that. So I kind of get it. And I think the bottom line is, what do we do to cut down on attrition?

Right? Maybe that's, I don't know if attrition is a problem in the military. I think it's about 18% in the army, which doesn't seem too bad. But I think it's about time maybe to make this adjustment because that's got to scare the living hell out of somebody on the first couple days of basic training when you get there and you have these guys all over you. You can you can you just think about these old movies back from the 80s and the you know in the 90s, you know, I don't know, but I've been told, you know, they're marching. I'm going to scream that constantly. So ultimately, let's give our Pentagon officials a little credit here to

think that they know what they're doing. They've got this well thought out. And it's probably the best thing to do right now. It's just he's back a little on these guys when they show up. So this is a story I really wanted to get your opinion on. You know, I see Shark Attack as the headline. I'm thinking I'm from Florida, I hang it out on the beach, what's going on here, Shark Attack, but it turns out this is a military drill in the Army. So there's certain topics that I have vested interest in, you know, an emotional connection with, stuff that I eager to know more about.

This is not one of those stories. I was not in the Army, I was not in the military. So what I wanna do here is just say, thank you for serving. If you've served, respect to you. Let me turn it over to somebody who's actually been in the army that probably had one of these shark attacks and want to get your opinion on what this actually means. Folks, if you don't know what Adams about to announce is run for Congress, he's very diplomatic way to attack.

It's just incredible. And I'm going to be his campaign manager to help him with the election. Thank you. I think with you behind me, we can win anything. I actually think we could win. Anything we want to put in our mind. We could win anything.

Yes, that is true. So let's talk about shark attacks. So what was it like when I joined the army? First of all, Eric, our Marine here, says they stopped it a couple of years ago. It's not like anything new that he was talking about, right? When I joined in 97, we landed in Atlanta. We got in a bus.

I think it was a Greyhound bus. It was like six of us from LA. Believe it or not, the bus was empty. Nobody was on the bus. It was just six of us. One guy was from one gang. Another guy was from another gang. I'm from Glendale, LA.

And it was, I can't remember. Not necessarily a gang member, but I had a lot of gang member friends, a lot of them. And we got along very well. It's so funny the other day, one of my sister was selling a policy to one of the gang members in Glendale that I used to hang out with and we'd go to Vegas with and he called me and we were having a conversation

reminiscing about the times. But the moment we got there, the driver starts having fun with us. So he says, so how you guys think you're gonna handle the boot camp? We're gonna be like, oh, from LA. We're from LA, Doug. Nothing's gonna happen.

Everybody's like pumping each other up, right? These guys know nothing. You know what we're coming from? And he says, okay, okay. He's got that, buddy. He's got that, that attitude. And then you pull up, you go through the gates it's two, three o'clock in the morning. We've been driving for a long time.

Just think Atlanta to Columbia, South Carolina, it's some ways, okay? Well, you're driving from LA. No, from Atlanta. Okay, gotcha. So, South Carolina. So, next thing you know, he says, okay, we're about to get to your unit.

You guys ready? Yeah, you ready? Yeah. It's getting closer, closer, closer. All of a sudden, you see these six true sergeants run up to the bus. They in the side of it. Oh Who the hell you thinking in the open door? They run at they grab your duffel bag that throw the thing out and it's the cause get your shit off the ground

Why the hell do you close how do you pack is that how you pack your clothes there in your face screaming? Holy look yes I'm all over the place. We're bumping into each other You see a bunch of different guys on the other side. We've been sitting there waiting for you. Told you you can get you at three o'clock in the morning. Everyone's been waiting and then we get every one of you guys. We've been waiting for these six knuckleheads that came here from L.A.

So we're already off to a bad start. It's clawed through trying to pack. I'm your nerf. No clue what's going on. But you know what did happen? Here's what happened. It was a filtering system. Because within a week, So cool, it's going out. But you know what did happen is here's what happened. It was a filtering system.

Because within a week, people dropped out like you would have been, one guy couldn't handle it. You could do that, you could drop out. Of course you could do that. You're just going to say, I can't do this. So they would go and say, I'm out and boom, you're out. You could handle you, sissy, you little bit. And they would go at it with you, right?

And they would mentally mess with your head non-stop right but it was a great filtering process because you're asking yourself do you want somebody that can't handle pressure especially when it comes on to military especially when it comes on to your protection of the country because imagine if there is a pressure type situation it doesn't matter whether you're in the front or you're in the front or you're doing what you're doing on the computer side and you don't necessarily have war. We're not going with bayonets and we're not going with rifles and M16s because the war that we're playing today

is not the same. However, as much as we don't think the war that's being played today is from an office with technology and keyboards and all that other stuff, go ask any of the military guys today and find out how many people are still at a base. That's got a lot of threat that they're still getting shot up at go find out and right now go ask people who are right now Being deployed to places that you still need to learn how to use an M16 They still need to learn learn how to stay calm. So let me take you to a different angle

And I know time you probably got a couple thoughts to say about this So you know, so that's that's one part of it with the filtering system. Here's here's a thing to be thinking about. So the main thing was it's to work with folks, you know, to not increase anxiety and panic attacks and mental and emotional. What the hell you think war is? What do you think military is? So let me ask you a different question now. Did you play sports? I know you were very athletic. By the way, if you guys didn't know, Tom's resume of sports is probably as good as his. Both of these guys have a great resume when it comes onto sports.

I don't have a resume for sports. I have a resume for sports cards. They play Ike Lake cards. Which is a lot more lucrative these days than being the co-captain of my YCAT team. So can you imagine football getting away with Hell Week? No, I played Division 1 football. That's every day.

But let me ask you a question. How much mental and emotional torture did you get when you were going to Hell Week? No. How bad was it when there's, okay. It was, you went to Miami maybe. It wasn't that bad when there's screaming actually. No, it's bad, but I don't think it's like the army.

You don't drill sergeants, you know. No, by the way, even when I win 97, the hitting stuff is 40s and 50s. You can't hit the soldiers. I don't think you should hit the soldiers. That's what they did years ago. Now, there is a program that you go to called Sears. It's like a 10-day school that you go to.

They're teaching you how to be a prisoner of war. I believe till today, I can be corrected on this. If anybody's watching this, they're military. They have the ability to break small bones on you, to release information. They're teaching you how to be a POW. You sign up for that, man. So you go to Sears School and at Sears School,

you're being trained how to be a prisoner of war if you're captured. So you won't release information to the enemy. And they have the right to break small bones. Now, again, this may have changed on the last two decades. When I was, believe me, it's not for you. No.

Well, just so you know something about me, I like my military people not captured. I think the heroes are the ones that are not captured. Oh, that's a sharp wrap. OK. If you were captured, I don't know if you're a hero anymore. Adam, Adam breaks. Adam breaks down if he has a bad manicure

I mean, I was thinking that's the point. This is a serious issue when you have a bad manicure When you're when you're leader the source of my What happens is if you ever date an Armenian it's a bad issue if she has a bad Manage you're great reference right? So it's a good weekend. So anyways, so go back to it Look if if hell week is needed for kids military, if you want these guys to go to war, they're going to be handling a weapon. I kind of want to filter you out. I would much rather filter you out and get you out of this place than keep you in.

That's that's what my philosophy is. Yeah, probably. I think if it's worked for that many years, I think you automatically question why you would get rid of it. But let me say this about the new generation that's going into the military. I don't think they go into the military expecting to get into conflict, into warfare. I think they're looking at it as a potential career,

as maybe a way to make some money, as maybe to put off a different career choice down the road. You just brought up a great idea. Yeah, so they don't go in there. So I think it would be such a shock to them. I mean, look at these types of people, these people that were putting into the military area now, if someone offends them, they just try to get them canceled on social media.

They don't know how to handle a drill sergeant or a marine or an army corps, but that's pretty sad. If you think about that, that's pretty sad. That's pretty sad. But I think they, look, I think just, you have to be nimble. You have to pivot a little bit. I think that's what the military is showing right now. If it's not working, I'm sure they'll go right back to it pretty soon. They're probably going to really test this new thing and see, you know, how these soldiers are turning out

when they get done. You go that route. Remember this. Just remember this. The softer you get, it's harder. Okay. When we started my own, the PHP insurance company, here's what I did. Our compensation structure was very difficult. And I kept it that way at the beginning. Here's what I did. Our compensation structure was very difficult, and I kept it that way at the beginning. Here's why. There was a lot of guys that started their own company and they would say, we give away 100% contract.

We give away 110% contract. We give away 90% contract. The moment you go there, if that doesn't work, guess what you can never do. Guess what you can never do. Give them more contract. No, you can never go down. You can never go and say, okay, you know what, this 110% didn't work. We got to

go back to 75. You're done. Everybody leaves you. So you lose 90 because you taught your people what? 110% contract. You taught them 100% contract. Your comp structure was set up that way. Versus if you're here, you can always go where? You can always go up and be creative with this. As a family, as a parent, you can start off here and you can always go here. If you start here with a family, as parenting, and you're soft from the beginning,

try getting your kids to be tough at 14 years old. It's too late. You're done. You cannot do that. Culturally, you've officially, for those two years that you went soft, you develop weak sergeants. Those weak sergeants are going to pass down their weak tendencies, leadership abilities,

to their generation and their squadron and their, you know, platoon. You have a problem, you're going there. So let me take it a different angle where you took. You made one good point that I think we can unpack this. When you go into the army, there's basic training, there's AIT. Okay, basic training is what? It's what all of us do.

Right. AIT is's basic training, there's AIT, okay. Basic training is what? It's what all of us do. AIT is advanced individual training, which is you want to be a communication specialist, you go to Fort whatever to train for being a communication specialist. You want to be an infantry, you go to Fort Benning, or you go to Fort Lennowood. If you want to be a Hummer mechanic, you go to Fort Jackson for your AIT. If you want to be a truck driver or whatever, you go maybe for Knox. There's so many different units that you go to for different trainings. I do believe that if I'm doing MI,

I may not need the kind of boot camp that somebody else is going to need that could be potentially in a war type of a situation. I do believe that. So if somebody is scoring higher on their ASVAP and they're job that they're getting, do they necessarily need to go through the same bootcamp as a person that wants to be an infantryman?

I don't think so. But Tom, if you are gonna be an infantryman, if you are gonna be a mechanic, that you're gonna be in war fixing the trucks, if you are gonna be a tank guy, or tank, buddy, if you're in a tank and you're getting hit up and you panic, you cause five people's lives. You know, everybody else dies. So it's easy to say that when we're kind of just seeing it from the other lens, but when

you're in it, like I remember one time we're going through a practice drill that we had, and it was a last drill that we had that we were getting shot right above us, late at night where you have to be able to know how to handle it. Dude, not everybody could handle it. And you're like, listen, I tell you, you would sit next to a guy who would say, John, I don't know if this is for you, bro. I honestly think after the drill. Oh, you would say, I don't know this is for you. I go to a restaurant, Mario, remember this, we're in Boston. We go to this oyster place. This host is, comes out, bossing us around.

You know what I said to her? I said, sweetheart, I gotta tell you something. We're gonna leave. We're not gonna come here because you're service sucks. I said, you may be a better person working in a bank doing accounting than being a host is. You just suck as a host is. This doesn't mean you're gonna suck at everything.

We just suck as a what? As a host is, okay? Teachers mean you're gonna suck at everything. We just suck as a what? As a hostess, okay? Teachers tweeted something a couple of days ago. I said, great teachers deserve a massive raise. Good teachers are getting paid very well today based on just being a good teacher. I said bad teachers need to be fired immediately and encouraged to change industries.

I lost a few hundred followers. How could you say something like this? I mean it. Some people are just not meant to be teachers, just like some people are not meant to be what? Soldiers and military. Sure, sure. So this has to scare you a little bit. If you're thinking that this is the direction the military is taking.

It scares me, but I think they're taking the wrong direction. I think they got to do a better job screening people that they go in versus like, if you're screening me me and if I've ever taken any kind of mental, you know, if I've ever taken any kind of a pro-ZAC, if I've taken things like that, maybe military's not for you. If I've had anxiety attacks and a streak of panic attacks, I don't think this is for you. Let's encourage you to go to a different direction. But if you're somebody that you came out, you were athletic, you're a tough guy, and you know, you maybe didn't have the grades to go in your school, you were a good athlete, but you were not a great athlete to get a scholarship. Guess what? Come

on in. Let's have you come in here. So I think the screening is the problem. Yeah. I think there could be some residual problems for some of these recruits too, because a lot of these sergeants, corpals, the ones that we're doing, the barking during the shark attack. I mean, that's a right of passage, right? If you go through that, they're going to be a little ticked off if these guys are getting off easy. Maybe there's some other hazing that goes on for some of these recruits away from the shark attack or maybe later at night.

Don't you think some of these old school military instructors that are all over you generally in training camp are still going to want to get in your grill? Of course they are. Of course they are. Of course they are. Look at the NBA what they do. Look at what happens with the rookie players that come in. You have to, hey, carry the thing, you're up bad.

You gotta kinda do that stuff. But in the military, it's worse. The difference today, like when I was in, there was no social media. I can only imagine if social media was there. When I was in, there is no social media today. I'm willing to bet the barracks probably have, the barracks probably have more cameras today

than they did when we were in. I'm willing to bet the level of scrutiny. It's gotta be very, very hard right now to be a drill. I probably wouldn't want to be a drill sergeant right now. I probably wouldn't want to be a drill sergeant, right? You need everything on camera. What's the benefit of it? What benefit do you have?

You offended me. So every time I'm trying me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me,

you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me,

you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, you draw me, he touched me here. It's such a weird time you're living into this. I would hate to be a drill. Probably the worst job to have right now military has been a drill sergeant. You know, that's a real talent though

to be a drill sergeant, to be that creative in your verbal abuse, right? Get in there facing just screaming. I got a, I got a fan of comedian. I'll have different ways. They all had different ways. I got a question for you, because you told us a story one time

about the biggest toughest guy. He was the biggest guy in your unit. because you told us a story one time about the biggest toughest guy He was the the biggest guy in your unit and you told a story you were doing the army crawl under the barbed wire And the bullets going on here and this guy panicked freaked out. He quit. I remember that story of course You kind of brought that up. So here's my question. It's a two-poor question. What is the most important trait for a soldier? Is it mental, physical, emotional, physiologically? You got a lot of America.

To me, you got a lot of America. My number one, if I'm recruiting, is you got a lot of America. Like if I'm recruiting you to be a soldier, I'm not asking you, why are you joining? Because I need the scholarship. That's not my number one. My number one is, tell me how you feel about America.

Well, let's face America kind of sucks, but no. Tell me how you feel about America. You got a lot of America. That's numero one. about America. Yeah, you got a lot of money. That's a number of who know. To me? Yeah. 100% you got a lot of America. Keep going down the list. Okay, if the next one is you have to be somewhat in shape,

not necessarily incredibly in shape, but you got to be somewhat in shape. Because don't get your ass in shape. But you're better off if you get somebody in shape because if somebody is generally out of shape, they will end up being out of shape. Like you're eventually going to lean on your habits. So if you're already coming to me and you're looking like this,

you're looking like this, I'm like, okay, come on in guys, let's go do something together. Mentally, emotionally, it's not a lot of things that we can test right there up from. Maybe you can ask like 30 questions, we can get a lot of data nowadays, there's a lot of good tests you can ask to get the right question. Challenges sometimes people look past it

because recruiters need to hit numbers. So the pressure that recruiters have to hit numbers, it's so bad. Like imagine a real estate job. Imagine a kind of job you got with there's so much scrutiny to it's your numbers. Recruiters are getting anybody in just because they got to hit their numbers.

So all of this happens with the pressure that's therefore recruiters to recruit people into military. This is not something where you, you know the whole saying, quantity brings quality, not in a military. You got to kind of change it up a little bit in the military. I would change a testing. I would ask a lot of questions mental emotional. Tell me about your parents, tell me about your mom, tell me about your dad, let's look

at your records, what have you done. I'm gonna go through how, what's the challenge, and what's the toughest thing you ever came, because you're gonna have to, you're gonna have to be careful with that when you're going through it. So what's your advice to young people, considering joining the army, the military, the Navy,

they're like- Best decision I ever made. Wow. Aside from, you know, in my 20s, 30s, forget that go to my teens, best decision I ever made in my life is joining the Army. Ever. It's not even close. I can't, there's not even a close second. There's not even a close second, okay? But best decision I ever made as an 18-year-old

was joining the Army. Now, here's why I say the best decision I ever made. I had a 1.8 GP and high school. I was all over the place. I was great in math, but every other subject that could care less, you know, because the teachers were just, you know, regular public school teachers who are just like, Patrick, you're not going to mountain nothing. Let's face it, your grades are not that good.

You know, you just got to figure out a way to go get a job. I think that's the route for you. You're not heading the right direction. Miss Kay would never encourage like, where are you going to go? So I'm like, listen, and then there was way too many problems Where I was at in Glendale way too many of my friends were going in a bad direction drugs all the stuff Like you know what? I'm just gonna go in the army one day I decided leaving. I left to the army best decision I made so for someone who's a little lost because it sounded like you were didn't have a clear direction

Yeah, you wanted to go in your life. You weren't going to college with a 1.8 No, you weren't an entrepreneur yet They probably couldn't even spell entrepreneur at that point. You're like, definitely couldn't spell entrepreneur. Now you could definitely spell it. It's a little tricky, but I can spell it. It's an easy,

hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard. It just proves you well. It's like an entrepreneur. It's an entrepreneur. Yeah. But for someone who's a little lost, a little confused, doesn't have a lax direction, that's why it's the best decision of your life.

You're not necessarily condoning that someone who's going to college drop out. I'm not saying to everybody. Right. I'm not saying to everybody. But for Patrick Bedavid, it was the best decision I made in my life. I don't say it cross the board. Like, let's look at Dash. Is it the best decision for Dash to go join the military?

I wouldn't say so. Why? Parents are married, they're together, they're happy, good father, good mother, that they're happy, right? So he isn't a happy situation, okay? You know, would Dash benefit from going to the military? Maybe if I'm an advisor to Dash, would I say Dash, go join the military? Probably not. I would tell Dash, you got better options than I go. I had to. My parents were divorced, it was mayhem. I was in a bad environment. I was not in a good place. I went in and I've derived a sociish. I didn't have a right mentor. I don't have anybody giving me real feedback at that time. I just kind of needed to get the hell away

for somebody to set me straight. And that's what happened to me. That's a good option. Yeah. So, you know, you know, one headland I haven't seen lately, correct me if I'm wrong here. China and Russia are getting rid of their shark attack. Our enemies are probably looking at this and laughing. Soft America. Did you say they are? No, they're not. I'm saying that's one headline. You're not reading.

We're reading about the US military doing this, but you're certainly not seeing our enemy. Just so you guys know, when I saw this, I thought it was onion. I thought it was one of those onion or what is the other one, the B something. Yeah, Babylon B. Babylon B. I thought it was a joke when I read it. And then I looked at it, other articles,

I'm like, no, this is actually not a joke. It takes it to you on Sunday, right? We're talking about it. That had to be a tough sell. I would imagine for going down the chain of command, for the people that are on the ground, the sergeants, the drill sergeants that are down there, at Fort Benning, getting these guys grilled

when they get off the bus. You know what the problem is? Let me go to a different direction with this. And here's what the problem is, when grandparents start making decisions for you, it's not always the best decisions. Okay, let me explain why I say grandparents start making decisions for you, it's not the best decision. So you know how like the other day, I was talking to Moral Antigran, okay, and they were

an LA visiting family. Shout out to the Beckin and the Kishishian family. Love those guys. They're like family towards anyone. Their families can come stay at our place. We love those guys. So I'm talking to Teacron, he's doing this. I'm like, Teacower, things such do it.

I just got to tell you man, these guys are giving the kids chocolate non-stop and ice cream and all this stuff. It's 10 o'clock, it's 12 o'clock my time, nine o'clock in the morning, it's time. Daniel, you know what Daniel walks in with? Love Daniel. He walks in with an ice cream.

He's like, what are you doing? He says, I'm eating ice cream, right? And it's at 9 a.m. the kids have an ice cream. Okay. So when you see that, what do you say? What do you say? First of all, it's not, but you do say vacation. You say grandparents.

You say you know all this other stuff. But what sucks is grandparents just officially made it hard when the parents come back, the kids are always going to compare the parents to who. Grandparents. Grandpart gave me ice cream. You don't love me as much as grandma loves me. What do you say to that?

Do you sit there and say, do you see the ingredients here which you're going to have on a few too much ice cream I ever said, kids are not going to understand that part. So grandparents are making decisions for the military soldiers of today. You're undermining the current drill sergeants who are actually doing the tough job of today. You were never a drill sergeant

during a social media time, they were. You're making their life hard. The people that need to make these decisions are people that are drill sergeants today who are going through it today. Sometimes, now don't give me wrong, listen, grandparents, here's not a negative thing, I'm talking about with grandparents and grandmas. I think the role grandparents play, like when you're disciplined, your kid, it's good when your father comes around and says,

hey listen, just be easy on him, man. Be a little bit easy on him. I think parents need to hear that from grandparents. Be a little easy on him. I remember I was a little tough on you, you're not gonna like it sometimes because your son is only six years old. Joe did the time with them, but still, the father can come to grandpa and say, listen dude, the reason why your son is doing well in life is because you were tough on me. Why are we taking that opportunity away from our,

for my son, let's give him the same thing. You gave me a taste of the same medicine that worked with me. So I think that's the biggest battle that we're facing with some like this. Shout out to my grandma watching the podcast. Shout out to all the grandparents out there. Pop pops is watching. Pop pops is fishing floor. Yeah, you're dead. You're just just move permanently to Florida. I don't know why I'm so excited. I'm like I was excited but now I'm like. Congratulations. He was he was at the OG GBD in FLA. We're

excited to have him here. He is so happy, man. Does that mean you want to see him on the podcast? Ooh. Okay. You just got him panicking right now at the house. He's officially panicking. He's not a fan of social media. He's not. He's not a fan of social media.

He's not a fan of social media. He's not a fan of social media. He's not a fan of social media. He's not a fan of social media. He's not a fan of social media. He's not a fan of social media. He's not a fan of social media. He's not a fan of social media.

He's not a fan of social media. He's not a fan of social media. He's not a fan of social media. He's not a fan of social media. He's Forty times for one hour. Finally, we got it on. Marry. You got on the phone with them. He helped them and we asked them a bunch of questions. I think we will invite him one of these issues. I love that. I love that. I have a thing with them. Okay. All right. So that's that. All right. We spend a lot of time with that. FYI. FYI, do you agree with the shark tank making it softer? If yes, smash the thumbs up button. Okay. If you say, no, if you say, I do want it to get softer, smash the thumbs down button. If you say, no, let's keep it tougher because to get these people mentally tough, smash the thumbs up button. I'm really curious on what you think about it right now. We're at 97, too. Let's see what's going to happen with that number. I mean, I don't think people are going to want to see that happen. But again, we're going to see what

takes place with this. Let's go to Amazon, Twitter, or, which kind of has to do with both. You put them on separate pages. I'm gonna try to do this with page two and page four. So on one end, Amazon right now, Union vote is bigger than Amazon, okay? Why the Amazon Union vote is bigger than Amazon? The Verge article says, for last seven weeks, workers at the Amazon warehouse

and Best Mara Alabama have been voting by mail on whether to unionize. If the union wins the warehouse employees would become the first members of Amazon's US workforce to unionize a momentous event at a company that has long aggressively resisted labor organizing and that one that could be the first step toward improving conditions at the country's second largest employer employees say Amazon's demanding and automatically enforced productivity metrics average rate at the workers perform a task. Okay, productivity metrics makes work grueling,

stressful and dehumanizing. Amazon tracks two metrics, the average rate at which workers perform a task called tact time and how much time they spend not scanning items called time off task. If workers fail to maintain a fast pace, they get reprimanded or fired. Amazon's the second largest employer with 800,000 employees, 6,000 warehouse employees. Tom, thoughts?

You know, isn't that interesting? We're talking about the military going softer on their recruits in here in Amazon. Not a great point. You know, it's everywhere in Amazon. Not a great point. You know, it's everywhere in this country, it's unbelievable. This is the probably the one and only thing that keeps Jeff Bezos up at night because is this going to be a domino effect if one of them unionizes? And it's the last thing that they could possibly want.

Now the people that are pushing pro union, and man, this thing's, if you really follow this, just the marketing, the advertising on both sides, because there's a lot of these employees that don't want to unionize. They're going to have to pay dues, right? And some of the things that Amazon offers that you would think a union would eventually get for you, $15 to start, and automatic benefits right as soon as you start. So if it's such a horrible place to work, why do they employ so many people? How come more people aren't quitting or just not going for the job? The votes, we're not going to

know until the very end of the week. And the other thing that they keep trying to push is some of these weird stories about how employees can't take a bathroom break. And they have to pee in a water bottle. I don't believe that. I think that's a bunch of BS. I don't think that is happening. It may have happened one time, and they take it and run with it. You know, I worked for UPS for one summer when I was in high school. That was one tough job,

and it was in the union, that was unionized at the time. I wasn't in the union, but I could just sense that whole union attitude, right? And some of my TV jobs, the stations was unionized. So it's a totally different world. This is so anti-Bezos, anti-Amazon. I think it will be a complete disaster if the union vote passes. When I was at the TV station, like you couldn't edit a story

at a certain time if the editor was on break. You know, all these mandated break times they had to take or a smoke break or you couldn't do this, you couldn't, you couldn't put something on the set because someone on the union had to actually put that piece of paper or hand you a pen. So I personally, I don't think it's going to pass. I think Amazon is too powerful. There's no way they're going to allow this. This is just going to be a huge Pandora's box that would open if it did pass. So it's something to really keep an eye on. And I think we might know by the end of the week how this thing goes.

So let me give you a different perspective on our, on our friend Amazon here. So I actually went down a rabbit hole of research to figure out like, why do people join unions? What are the pros? What are the cons? What's going on? Who's back in the unions? Who's not back back in the unions? And if I'm looking at this and I'm an alafrican Bama and I'm thinking, should I be a part of a union, should I not be a part of the union? What are the pros? What are the cons? All right, cool. So what are the cons? All right, there's costs, there's dues that we talked about. You got to have, you got to put in time and you got to be a part of this union. You got to be a part of activities.

All right, cool. What are the pros? Well, first and foremost, if you're a member of a union, you make a non-members of a union make 82% of what a union members make. Okay, 82%. When it comes to retirement and planning for retirement, if you're a part of a labor union, 93% have retirement benefits versus 64% versus non-union.

Okay, so the math is like, all right, looking like a union to be good. Let's not forget, what is about 100 years ago when the... Fort. When Ford and the industrial revolution was gone to America and everything, working conditions were ridiculous.

You were working 15 hour days, they had no... Let's not compare it to, the average hours we worked in that time was 69 hours a week. Okay, so that's the way we're at 37 38 hours a week right now. All right really It's not even 40. We're working less than 40 hours a week. Okay, and we're going less with it. We're working from home We're work with you cannot even compare the two together But I get what you do. It was a disaster. I don't agree. I don't agree with that Kai is figuring out a way how to do a four hour work week, every single day, he's reading that book. But when it comes to sick leave,

maternity leave, hourly wages, benefits, retirement packages, pensions, there's a lot of pros being a part of a union. I think that they're gonna actually come to their senses in alifrican Bama and vote to become a part of a union. And here's the biggest thing. Jeff Bezos is the richest man in the world. Okay.

Amazon has a what? Million and a half market cap? It's not true, $2 trillion approaching. Sure. These workers are making Amazon the wealthiest company, potentially in the history of the universe. Certainly Jeff Bezos. The workers are.

The workers are. Oh, it's not the vision of the universe, certainly Jeff Bezos. The workers are. The workers are. Oh, it's not the vision of the Amazon. Of course it is. And the idea that he created these jobs. Thank you for setting me up. There's enough money to go around that. Who dictates that? The workers can get their fair share.

Who dictates that? Bernie Sosnik over here. Okay. So that's Bernie Sanders' argument, right? I'm not saying that's Bernie Sanders. I'm saying facts here. Okay, you're saying you're saying facts? No problem.

How about this? How about the fact that Bernie Sanders pays, where's Bernie Sanders at? What state is he at? He's a man. He's a man. Vermont. What's Vermont's minimum wage?

1175. And it's on its way up. No, no, no, no, no, I don't think you heard what I just said. Vermont. Yes. Is that 1175 and Amazon's at 15 bucks. Who the hell are you to tell others what to do when you ain't doing it to your own state? The hourly wage is like the most. No, you didn't know what I just, I hear that. But no, no, what I'm trying to say to you is all the unfair bullshit that's being thrown around is being thrown on by a guy that doesn't even pay his people what the minimum wage is imposing on others. This is the biggest hypocrite in America today. You want him to pay 15 bucks, he's doing

it. You're doing 11.75 at Vermont. Who the hell are you? I'm sorry. Where's the scrutiny with you? Answer that damn question. What is Bernie have to do with that? Because this is all started by Bernie. All of this is Bernie. All of the union is Bernie. Everything about this Bernie. I don't know why you're so heated. I'm feeling the burn right now. No, I'm not heated at you. I'm heated at Bernie. I'm not heated at you. You're not.

What I'm trying to tell you is the following. So let's want to say, let me give, let me give the feeling about this with Bezos. This is Bezos's problem. Let's identify Bezos. Bezos votes Democrat with the government, but Republican with the way he runs this company. Make up your damn mind, Bezos, who you are. Okay. Are you a Democrat or Republican or is it just you vote the way that goes into your pocket

and regulation? Here's the other party got to be thinking about. Do you know who is the vice president of Global Affairs for Amazon? Do you know who it is? DJ Jazzy Jeff. No, no, no, do you actually know who it is? No, no, no, no, no, do you know who this is 2015? Do you know a guy named Jay Karnie?

Who's Jay Karnie? Who's Jay Karnie? Who's Jay Karnie? Can you pull up who Jay Karnie is? You're about to flip out. Pull up who Jay Karnie is. Okay. You're about to flip out who Jay Karnie is.

The moment I pull it up, look at the reaction with the face. Who's Jay Karnie? Pull up here is the former... He is the former press secretary to Barack Obama but he is now been the VP click on his Wikipedia click on his Wikipedia everybody knows who this guy is look at the rast sentence at the top called with the top

where you were at last sentence carney has been senior vice president global current american amazon since march 2015 overseas public policy and public regional amazon business around the world and said reports a seal and founder Jeff baseless this guy reported obama now he reports founder Jeff Bezos. This guy reported the Obama, now he reports the Jeff Bezos.

Regulation. So let me get the straight Bezos. What are we doing here? So the challenge for the people that know who this guy is. This guy was on TV every single day. You know that face under Obama. So Biden, Bezos goes and hires him. So this is not just a level of accountability

to one side and not the other side. If you think about what Bezos is doing, as you start making more money, the problem becomes the following. Here's the problem. I'm leading these different groups. The CEOs are asking me to do these groups because they want some kind of an advisory board. So I'll sit down and I'll go through and the small groups we do are elite monthly webinar, they're 90 minutes with me, it's only seven. I do one, one that's a bigger one, but I do these others that is only seven of them

and I sit on their board. Great. And we process issues together. We just kind of go through and we process issues together. What do you do with this? What do you do with that? What direction do we go with this? How about this?

How about that? One of the guys I was talking to, he had bad relationship with his employees. And he kept having bad relationship with his employees. And I said, let me ask you a question. Why do you have such bad relationship with your employees? Yourself. Why do you keep having these problems? I said, how often do you even go and talk to them and ask them about their dreams? How often do you go speak to your people on your team? How often do they see you? Oh no, that's not what I do. That's somebody else's job. I said, okay, you ever read the book, Lincoln on Leadership? No. I gave the incitement of him reading Lincoln on Leadership.

You know what's one, the rules on Lincoln on Leadership? Circulate amongst your troops. Something both Bezos and Biden would benefit with. Biden and Kamala Harris still haven't gone to the border. For what? I have no idea why they haven't gone to the border. You're giving your opinion on what should happen without you going to take in the lead because you don't want to go out there. Why are you not going out? Trump would have been out there in the heartbeat. Clinton would have been out there in the heartbeat. These guys would have been out there in the heartbeat.

How come you're not up? Bush went to night in a heartbeat. How come you're not out there? How come you're not going looking at this? Bezos, how come you're not going out there and finding out the pain that they're going through? Realize this, as you become bigger, a lot of times the challenge, and I've seen this with folks who you go from, 50,000 to six figures, the six figure guy cannot have the same kind of relationship, they didn't go to court a million, half a million, a million, all this other stuff,

then you're like, let me tell you who I am, so you can't have the regular conversations, right? One of the biggest things when my friends called me from 20 years ago, they say, dude, you still joke. I'm like, dude, I'm just richer. It's the only difference. I'm still the same guy. I've just read 2,000 more books. My mind is a little bit more different. I'm not as naive as I was as an 18 year old kid, but I still like jokes. I still like a good prank.

Basel has to realize, pay your guys fairly. Okay. Go give the benefit program. If they're asking for retirement, give it to them. Set some criteria, say we don't do it if you've been here for 90 days or six months. Create a criteria, FYI, if union gets involved with Amazon, you know who takes the biggest pain? Customers. That's who does.

Yeah, the stuff's not showing up the next day. Yeah, so it's like, okay, sorry, we'll get to it next day. And like, do you ever talk to some company and employees? Like, the other day, I'm on the phone with this bank. It's a big bank, I wish I could say the name. I don't know what the bank, US bank. And this one lady, I'm like, ma'am, I'm asking you basic questions. Why can't you ask an answer to this question?

You know what, sir, I really don't have time for this. Gensiting right next to me. Hang up. Do you hang up on you? I call back. I'm like, did you guys record who I spoke to last? No, we don't have that. So, how is that person held accountable?

The accountability goes away and people can't get away without giving the right customer service. Then that's spread. I just talked about it right now. It's customer, I deal with it as a company that I have to get these, hey, this person said this about you. Well, maybe we ought to get better at customer service.

Maybe we ought to figure out a way to get better at the stuff. Maybe we ought to pay a little bit more attention. Maybe we ought to make that additional phone call they say you don't have time to call until Monday. Call the person, hear them out. Why are they upset at you? What did you do? Maybe we did something wrong.

This whole thing about, wrote a letter, a 3200 word letter to my, one of the people you and I were talking about. You know what I said? I said, as a school gets bigger, I hope you guys are not an elitist organization where it's an honor for others to work for your company Versus it is an honor to have people who are willing to say yes to work with your company

I understand what it is for me to have a resume where I say I work that Netflix. I work that Amazon. There's a certain prestige to it But guess what people have 50 other places they can work out as well and they chose to work with you So there's a balance here that's going on that Bezos has to sit and realize, brother, just give benefits with criterias and good kudos to him for giving $15 minimum with something our legendary socialist guy who loves Russia and Vermont hasn't been able to do and he's been there for how many years, 40 years, you can't even raise a minimum which from 11 75 to 15 bucks and you're bashing everybody else good for the baseless baseless goes a little bit more take all this stuff out but he ain't playing around he's got to ride people in his corner to want to fight against all these things

that people are doing right especially guy like Jay Carney why would baseless be so anti-union why wouldn't he can see it a little bit of it and it's not I didn't say everything I said was do it without union. Union will change the culture of Amazon. It will be felt. You know, here's the other problem that that's happening right now is there's going to be such a feeling of division inside those fulfillment centers and throughout the whole company. I can only imagine, you know, it's an us versus them mentality in there and then you got

pro union work as it's an us versus them mentality in there. And then you got pro union workers. It's almost like Republican Democrat. It's probably this a cancer that's starting amongst the rank and file of Amazon. That's going to be a huge, huge problem for him. And, you know, I do. I mean, there's no way you could identify what Bezos really believes. He owns the Washington Post, right? You'd think the Washington Post would be front and center trying to get this,

this place unionized and having huge stories about that all the time. And that's true too. Everybody that's saying that they should unionize this and that are the same people that want those packages delivered the very next day, right? So you can't have it both ways. And I do not convince that union officials

truly have the best interest in mind of those factory workers or people that drive the fork lift or the drivers. Here's the other thing too. Compare it. You constantly see Amazon vans out there, right? I mean, this is such a phenomenon that wasn't there two, three years ago. The Amazon vans are everywhere.

How is the package is arrived? These guys, to me, now this is just my observation. They never seem stressed. They have a sense of urgency, but I'm not seeing these guys looking like they're all frazzled or anything like that. And maybe there's some Amazon drivers that are watching this and can tell me something else.

Sometimes I see FedEx guys, and they seem a little bit more nervous, non-intercontrol or same thing with UPS. I'm not seeing this from these Amazon employees. And if it's so horrible, why don't they quit? Something's keeping them there. Probably that's starting wage of 15 bucks. And the benefits, the benefits is the big hook for Amazon.

And they make that available for everybody on their very first day. Bezos is going to win this. He wins everything. There's no way that place is going to unionize. You don't think that place is going to unionize that? I don't think so. I don't think they'll be successful. I don't know about that.

I don't know if I agree with you there because the last decade has been a streak of a lot of great ideas not winning. The last decade has been a streak of a lot of bad ideas winning. The last decade has been a streak of a lot of anybody that cries me a river has been winning. A lot of people that should have performed

and had a job lost. There's no, a guy comes out with a shoe that's got a blood in it, confirmed with NBC that there is the employees blood in the shoe. Little Nas X, this shoe that he comes out and called Luke 1018 out of the Bible scripture that he uses, that shoe doesn't get canceled. But a guy who gives his opinion on Merkel gets canceled,

a pure Morgan gets canceled, Kevin Hart gets canceled. All these other people just because they have an opinion, they get canceled, and all these other bad ideas, unfortunately, are not getting canceled. People have to wake up and realize that this cancel culture is canceling the wrong things. And if I'm a betting man, if I'm a betting man,

who do you think wins? You think bezos, carny, and a trillion dollar, two trillion dollar company wins, or do you think AOC, Bernie Sanders, Alam, you think those guys, who do you think Elizabeth Warren? Who do you think is gonna end up winning in a situation like, you know, Bernie went to Alabama and sat down, one of the things you got to plot Bernie,

here's one thing that Bernie does that bite, the thing that I respect more about Bernie, take Bernie's philosophies out, take Bernie's all of his philosophies out, take all of my philosophies out. I have more respect for Bernie's dog fight than Biden's dog fight Because you know what you're getting from him. Bernie is a fighter, but how old is Bernie? How old is Bernie today? Can you actually pull up Bernie's age versus Biden? I'm actually to know how old is Bernie Sanders? You're going 70. Are you saying that he he went to Alabama? He went to Alabama?

He may have just won out to his porch to get the newspaper and got lost and ended up in Alabama. The point is a 79 year old man went to Alabama, but a 78 year old president cannot go to the border to see what's happening over there. So you got to give respect, but you also cannot undermine the fact that these guys got power today. Basos cannot sit there saying, oh, they're going to win this no matter what because he's basal. I don't think that's the case. Two things. Let's look at some point. We don't have to do it now. I wonder what Bernie's net worth is. That guy sells a lot of books. He's not poor. Okay. He's probably a million I'm poor and I better be a freaking million is 79 years old. Okay, and last make 50 grand Fillers here's a pretty years and here's why I think I would have I would have more respect with them if he was a multi-million

Er versus if he was still poor, okay, so you're 79 years old. Save your damn money. I have no respect for him at all. Hey, 5,000 employees in Alabama, right? What's stopping Amazon to going to 2,600 of them and paying a money to vote no on the union? They've been working on this thing for months. But could you still do it? No, you could do it.

But if you do that, then the media wins because they're gonna say look exactly what they did It would be a big old publicity stunt they would get destroyed if they were Covertly covertly somehow is suddenly implied Amazon can officially not do anything covertly Amazon can no longer do nothing covertly period you are you got the lenses like this at all eyes on Amazon scrutiny that's it at the highest level. Okay. Hey, what if they're using the dominion voting system? Then yeah, that worked out really well for all the people that came out of Accusing dominion Sydney Powell's got a billion dollar lawsuit on her hands. She came out and she said that why would anyone believe me?

Why would anyone believe what I had to say that was her defense? I Her defense. Yeah. Anyways, I mean, if you're listening to this, you know, you guys, punch a comment stuff come up. We haven't even looked at it. So I'm sure there's been a bunch of you guys commenting. What are your thoughts about the sole issue with Amazon? I know you've been commenting here, left and right. How do you think this should be handled? Comment below.

I'm very curious. Okay, let's continue going through this. Radalio, okay? Radalio page three. Radalio page three. Radalio talks about a story comes out by business insider. Halfway there, billionaire investor Radalio sounds the alarm on a stock bubble that he says is quickly approaching dot-com proportions.

For the legendary investor Radalio, current stock market valuations can largely be traced to two things, high liquidity and low interest rates, which I fully agree with. The fiscal and monetary stimulus measures from the federal government and the federal reserve over the past year in response to COVID-19 are propping up valuations and encouraging investors to dive up share prices as they look for yield. But a third ingredient, investor behavior, is also contributing to the bubble forming

in stocks right now according to Dalio. He also said his calculations told him we're halfway to the levels of some historic bubbles and that investors ought to be wary of weak returns in stocks going forward. By measures, the bubble is not of what it was in 2000 and not what it was in 1920 time, but it's 1929, but it's kind of like halfway there. Tom. Gee, why would I not believe this guy? He started a hedge fund at the age of 26. He's worth 20 billion.

And he had the biggest hedge fund at one time. Where does, what's the value for him for saying something if there wasn't some evidence? And this guy knows what he's looking for. I believe him. I believe him. I think the signs are there. Look, tomorrow, here's one thing we all can look forward to. A $3 trillion tax plan that Biden's going to unleash on America.

It's coming tomorrow, all the details, higher taxes is going to be another fuel for this whole thing for a stock market crash. It's coming. I believe Ray Dalio, he's got a 45-year track record of knowing what he's doing and predicting the markets. I totally see this happening. So what happens if there is a bubble? What actually happens?

So I mean, I fully agree with what he's saying that obviously there's high liquidity and low interest rates and the third factory said was investor behavior. Okay, cool. So if there is a bubble, what's going to happen with this bubble pop? So the bubble popped, we had a 10-year bull run, 12-year bull run going on between 2008.

Great question, you were asking about that. Okay, so what are we talking about? I'm talking about it. Yeah, I'm saying, I'm walking through this process right now. All right, so the bubble popped in 2020. And then what happened, it bounced right back, okay? So what happens this time? So anything to do with investing has to do with your risk tolerance, with your asset allocation,

and with your age. So if you're young, if you're in your 20s and 30s, there's a bubble, all right, cool. Look forward to the bubble and by low, by the dip, and just get your investment game on. All right, if you're older and your retiree, hopefully you've changed your asset allocation into freaking 70, 80% bonds and limited exposure into stocks.

Is there a bubble coming? Sure. It should you be freaking out? No, you should have a plan to adjust. So, also, you got to understand that. Some people should be freaking out. Some people you be freaking out. No, you should have a plan to adjust. So, also you got to understand that. Some people should be freaking out. Some people should be freaking out. You don't think, you may not freak out, you're 40,

but a 62 year old having 70% inequities, he should freak out. Okay, but that person should have a plan. Why would you have, not a 72% inequities, but 60 years old. What are you talking about? Most people, they just have their money in a 401k, they don't look at it. Well, I get that, what I'm saying to you. But you just said the people, they just have their money in a 401k, they don't look at it.

Well, I get that. What I'm saying to you. But you just said the keyword, they don't look at it. Yeah, of course they don't look at it. Well, that's their bad. Yeah, I get that. But you're asking, what is the worst thing that's gonna happen? You said, it's just gonna come back up.

No, it's not gonna come back up for the 62 year old. For the 40 year old, it's fine. If they don't change their asset allocation, they don't change the asset allocation. And of course, you were talking about a bubble in 2019 that rebounded in 2020. That's not what Dalio's talking about. He's talking about something half is bad

as the tech crash and the housing crash. He's saying more on those levels as opposed to what happened year and a half ago. That's pretty bad. So let's actually go back to your wonderful question you asked the question, what's gonna happen if there's a bubble? So what's gonna happen if there's a bubble?

It's a filtering process. And I think we need a filtering process. Do you know the whole story with what do you call it? Forest fires. You know the story with forest fires. Sometimes they set it on purpose to have trees that have a new thing. It's necessary. It's necessary.

Not you go do it yourself. Sometimes nature does it to clean it up because the roots at the bottom could have been stronger, but they were no longer getting the nutrients that they needed because the trees got the sun. They've been covering them up. So now it goes away and allows for the new people to come back up, right? Okay. There's going to be a filtering process, but some people are going to get hammered. I sent something out the other day where I said the following. I put this on Instagram and Twitter, and I said, the next two years will produce many accidental millionaires

and billionaires. It'll also produce many who rise and fall. We won't know the real players until 2025. The Kaki and overconfident investor in any specific area will get clobbered. Stay alert, stay alive, right? People are about to be clobbered. There alert, stay alive, right? People are about to be clobbered. There's a lot of money being spent on things

that is being overpaid by a mile. A Michael Jordan card sold for 738 just a couple months ago. You know the same card sold last week for $400,000. Okay, from 738 to $400,000. So, $738,000. $738,000. $315 and then graded at PSA 10, that same card PSA, not the same exact card, but a PSA 10 1986 flea sold last week for 400,000 dollars and change. Okay. From 730 to

400,000 change. Same card. Same exact one of the 315 cards, right? What's the point? You have to look at when people are throwing money at things that are not worth what they're worth, but they're just kinda like, ah, I'll overpay. Ah, I'll overpay. That whole think of, I'll overpay. It's okay, I'll overpay because you have the money to overpay. People don't say, ah, I'll overpay.

Markets about to correct and the, I'll overpay, people are gonna go away a little bit. So it's gonna happen and it's not gonna be pretty. The people are going to go away a little bit. So it's going to happen and it's not going to be pretty. The rates are going to scare the hell out of a lot of people and Biden's $3 trillion tax run that he's talking about, they're about to unveil, it will not be pretty. It will not be pretty. Look folks, if you're listening to this, let's go to a complete different direction real quick, complete different direction here if you're listening to this.

You got to have a real plan on what you're going to be doing in making money the next 12, 24, 36 months. Where you position yourself, where you're going to be, what career you're going to be into, what job you're going to have, what industry you're going to line yourself up with, what group you're going to be running with, because it's going to be a three year run rate of it getting pretty ugly with taxes.

People are gonna feel it. Opportunity's not gonna be the same. Real estate is at its highest it's been in. There's a lot of realtors you talk to them. They all sound the same. Guess what they all say. Guess what they all say. The famous line.

We don't think the peak is here yet. We don't think real estate is peaking. We think it's high, but we don't think it's peak time yet We think the peak is gonna be two years from now. No, the peak is gonna be ten years from now Meaning yes, if I'm buying and holding long term, I'm gonna be fine But not the next two or three years when the rates come back up the industry is gonna take a hit I think Ray Dalio is right. I think the market is going to take a massive hit. We also have a couple of. What happened to it?

With Ray Dalio, and you've interviewed Ray Dalio, so you've got some very unique insight on this. I mean, look, I don't want to throw shade at this guy because I do respect him, but ironically, I mean, who does Ray Dalio, is Ray Dalio really concerned about the individual investor out there? Or is he thinking about the family offices, the... His client's own family offices. Of course. So he came out in 2019 at Davos, Switzerland, at the World Economic Forum, and what was his famous line there that came out to bite him in

the ass was cash is trash. Get out of cash. Well, if you're worth a hundred million frickin' dollars, yes, diversifying, get out of cash. Yeah. If you're worth a hundred million frickin dollars, yes, diversifying, get out of cash. Yeah. If you're worth four thousand dollars, cash ain't trash player. Yeah. All right. So just understand when it comes to Ray Dalio, he's a different perspective than the individual person out there worth 20 grand, 50 grand, 100 grand, or even a million a year. His clients are worth 10, 20, 50, hundreds of millions of dollars. But he was also talking about an event that's about to happen, that potentially could happen to, or affect everybody.

I mean, I don't think it matters who is, you know, where he's getting paid by, I mean, the bubble's still coming, and that's what he's saying. Yeah. So let's talk about Lidonaz's new shoes that came up. Okay, Lidonaz X is, and this is a story by CNN. Lidonaz's ex-unificial Satan Nike, containing human blood, sells out under a minute. CNN says,

rapper and singer Lidonaz launches his controversial shoes, Satan shoes featuring the bronze pentagram, an inverted cross and a drop of real human blood verified by NBC. And they sold that almost immediately. The black and red sneakers, part of collaboration will between Lidon, Azx and New York based art collector, which MS, MSCHF, mischief were made using Nike Air Max 1997, though the sportswear brand has distance itself from the design. In an emailed statement to CNN, Nike said it was not involved in creating the modified sneakers. They were priced at a

$1,018. There's a reason for the reference to the Bible passage. Luke 10, 18, that reads, I saw Satan fall like a lightning, like lightning from heaven. Each shoe's air bubble sole contains 60 cubic centimeters, 2.03 fluid ounces of red ink and one drop of human blood. Spokesperson for them said the blood has been provided by members of the art collective adding we love to sacrifice for our art. Interesting story, I know you have some strong feelings on this. Let me just

come out and say this is a publicity stunt completely. Okay, so little now is X might be the least scaryest person on the planet, okay? When I think of scary devil worshiper, and let's talk about who actually, you know, filled that void for many, many years. Yeah. Marilyn Manson, Aussie Osborne, Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, heavy metal, scary paint your face,

kiss scary people. Little Nausex, you know, fake cowboy, not a tough guy, whatsoever. This is a complete publicity stunt. He sold how many shoes? 666, okay, and respect to the devil. Okay, exactly. Exactly, and that's my point. It's not like he sold six million shoes or 600,000 shoes or 6,000 shoes. So it's 666 shoes. Some big time little Nas X fans came out there, probably kids came out and spent all their money on it on these shoes and they're like,

oh, I got little Nas X shoes. But he got what he wanted. A publicity stunt, people are basically talking about, I'm looking at us talking about Little Nose X, I don't know what song he's got out these days, obviously, the biggest. What he does, he had a new song that came out that has to do with the shoes,

that has to kind of learn stuff with it. But, I know you had a major problem with why would Nike allow this? Why would Nike? They didn't. Exactly, and that's my point, is this company mischief, this marketing company, this brand, what are you at with this time?

Okay, I think Lil Nas X is actually the most scary person out there that could do something like this because you wouldn't expect it from him. And now he comes out here and says that this is cool or whatever he's trying to say. I'm thoroughly disgusted by this. I think there's ramifications. I hope mischief gets shut down. I mean, I think, I hope Nike comes at them as hard as they possibly can and takes them out.

I did a little back, you know, with a little research on this group. So the Daniel Greenberg, he's the head of the commerce for them. He had an interview with Business Insider last year, where he says, we're in this weird place right now where we're not really thinking like a business. We just do shit and people buy our stuff. And that's what this whole thing feels like. Hey, quick publicity stunt.

Let's do this. Let's throw this out there. You know, Pat, you made the point earlier. You know, you get can't drew breeze almost got canceled for saying that he's going to stand for the national anthem because it's important because his grandfather served in World War II. And he had to come out and do some whole dog and pony show apology. Lil Nas should be canceled. You know, and it's like. So you want him to be canceled? Yes, he should be canceled.

For for promoting Satan, yes, you should be canceled. Here's the other thing. So you're a fan of cancel culture. No, I'm not fan of cancel culture. I'm a I'm at all. I hate cancel culture. But you want him to. But if anybody should be canceled,

it's Lil Nas X for doing something like this. I mean, if you were to look at it rationally and think, why should someone get canceled, doing something like this, it makes sense. So if you're the worst of the devil, you should be canceled. I don't know. We're talking about Lil Nas X putting on a devil's shoe. If someone should be canceled, it should be him. By the way, that song that he was promoting in conjunction with this shoe, he gives the

devil a lap dance. Okay? So a lot of people have come out and said that they're going to boycott Lil Nas X forever. He tried to backtrack and do an apology yesterday, so he creates a YouTube video, and before he actually does the apology, he cuts to the clip of the song where he's giving a devil a lap dance. So I got a major problem with him. I hope Nike goes hard at mischief and takes them out.

Let me see. I mean, anybody else make a little mistake in this world they got to pay for it? Why can't they? Let me say, you're a father. You're a father. So, if I'm in your shoes, I probably would have stronger feelings on this because the last thing

I would want is Dash, who's a cool-ass kid, 12-years-old, 12? 12. 12. Or Tiko, 10? 9? 9-years-old. 9-years-old.

At all, listening to someone like this or taking their advice, okay? But, you know what? No one's canceling Ozzy Osborne. No one was canceling Marilyn Manson. There was a lot of people enraged by these people. But listen, if you know anything about Lil Nas X, he is not a, he's not scary.

He's not tough. He runs around in a rhinestone. Keep saying that. What do you mean by that? So if you, like, what do you mean scary and tough? Like, do you think, like, we're worried he's gonna come to the streets and be on top? Like, what do you mean scary and tough? Okay, so I'm talking about,

you think scary and tough is about being buff and strong and benching for a place? No, I don't mean it like that. Okay, so how do you mean? I mean, when I think of devil worshipper musicians, Aussie Osborne as a kid, I was scared as hell about this guy. He's got his eating bats heads and doing stuff like that. Yeah black Sabbath Alice Cooper that was scary like if you're a kid That's scary little now X is wearing a rhinestone cowboy outfit talking about going down the old town road

It just doesn't have the same Oomph as the other music Musician devil worshipers back in the day. I think the only thing that's apparent is scared about is influence. That's my point. There's nothing about scary like you don't sit there and say, oh my gosh, this guy looks so scary giving a devil a lap dance. You're not scared by that. It looks weird just doing that. The whole thing is now. Marketing side. Yes, is he got everybody talking about him 24-7? Yes. Is all marketing on all publicity good?

I don't know. I don't know if even a marketing expert's gonna tell you all publicity is good. I don't know if this is all. What's the famous line? You can say whatever you want about me. Just spell my name right? Yeah, that's right.

So look, this is something where I feel one phone call was made. And this is the one phone call that I think was made. I don't know why I have a hunch. I may be wrong. I could be 100% wrong on this. Totally fine with me. Every company and organization has somebody that behind closed doors has so much influence. Nobody knows about.

That if they make a phone call, you better listen to them. I think Michael Jordan may be calling and saying, what the hell are we doing? What the hell are we doing? Do you realize I signed on with you and look at the brand we've built? Can I ask why this has happened? You don't think Michael called one of his guys and said, can you go check on these guys on what they're doing

or Michael made the phone call himself? And then the lawsuit was, you know, started immediately. I don't know. I just think if Michael's part of the organization do you think Michael would endorse some like this? Do you think Michael would support some like this? Do you think Michael is aligned with some of these things here? Not trying to get Michael into an issue that has nothing to do with Michael. But at the same time to Michael it does, you know, it's the same swoosh, you know, logo that's gonna be there and they use the air max shoes, the 666 of those to sell and they team up with these guys. So I don't know. I think they're serious damage to the Nike brand from this.

Because most people don't follow stories like we do. I mean, we'll see the headline. We'll look into it. We'll follow the next two, three days. Most people are going to think Nike was behind this because there was a Nike shoe and it was sold. You're not automatically going to think that somebody would be stupid enough to take a Nike shoe and do this. I cannot believe the gall of mischief to do this. By the way, the founder of mischief was a former West Point military academy dropout and he has a history of doing goofy projects.

He started an app that was basically a Tinder for airplanes, which is pretty funny if you think about it. You're on a plane on a long flight, you open up the app, and you go back and chat up somebody and roll to a high club opportunity right there. Right. So anyway, but yeah, Nike, if they come at you with guns ablazing, you're done. Right? Let me ask you, since we're on the cancel culture, you know the the shoe that preceded this shoe. This is the, this is the, this is the Satan shoe, the shoe that preceded this shoe This is this is the This is the Satan shoe the shoe that proceeded this shoe the reason they even had the opposite the complete opposite was the Jesus shoe and

Rather than having a drop of blood. It had a drop of holy water. So that shoe did well. So Are we saying and look? I'm not buying the shoe. I don't really give two shits about this story other than it's in the news Are we allowed to cancel the devil shoe the Satan shoe but not buying the shoe. I don't really give two shits about this story. Other than it's in the news, are we allowed to cancel the devil shoe, the Satan shoe, but not the Jesus shoe? This isn't a conversation about canceling. I don't think. I hate cancel culture the whole thing.

I was just simply making a point how easy it is for some people to get canceled for a tweet or for saying something, but you do something like this and you're almost applauded for it. Well, it seems like Nike, whether they were in the mix or not, they are come out and they've drawn a hard line

and they said that, quote unquote, they were not involved in any capacity and they have no relationship whatsoever with mischief or Lil Nas X. I think if you're a Christian, that's very weird though, that they would even come out with a shoe and now Nike has no relationship with them.

No, no, no, they took that shoe and just modified it and sold it as their own as the Satan shoe. Nike had nothing to do with this and I just think bottom line, if you're a Christian, you're a little bit offended by this story. If you're not a Christian, probably want to hit you as hard. I don't know, and I don't know if even a person who's not a Christian is okay with this.

I don't think this is a Christian issue. I don't, I don't, a lot of people who are atheist and agnostic who don't, you know, worship the devil. I know a lot of people. So I think it's, it's not just a Christian thing. I think it's a lot of parenting. And parents are sitting around saying, okay, here's a kid that watches, you know,

we all listen to the song, you know, when, you know, the song is, it's one of our kids favorite songs to listen to. You know, it's the number one stream song of all time, most stream song ever. So that same guy comes out with this video that he came up with, if you see this video, it's the most weirdest video you'll see.

It makes no sense and YouTube allows that video to stay on. That's on YouTube, I don't know. I mean, it's just, it's a pretty random video that's on YouTube. Speaking of cancel culture, what are the chances that the actual Nas, the real life actual Nas, says, dude, who the hell do you think you are? Taking my name with a little Nas X, your cancel. Was that like a just a joke right there?

No, I'm just saying he took Nas's name. If you're Nas, or if you're a Nas, you can't be right into it. If you're a Nas, or you can't be right into it. For night and day, and him and Nas have nothing to do with each other. It's too correct. But he took his name. No, he did. He did take his name.

So did the Rick Ross. I mean, you know, freeway, recross took the name of the real freeway recross. I mean, there's a lot of people that are taking names from one another nowadays. Adam Sausnik, right? How many people are taking that name? That's so offensive. I know it's a Hollywood. Okay.

All right. So, you know, so far we've gone four stories. Let's go into which one do we want to go into? Let's go into, Tom, I'll let you pick this one. How about the media? How about the media hiring? Okay, let's talk media. Page three, media hiring.

You probably got some stuff to say about that. Let me set that off for you. Media is the media slashing jobs again as a Trump new cycle phase and the economy struggles CNN. This is from CNN. For years, the media industry has been forced to compete with tech platforms that are advertising revenue and consumers time.

Now in addition to the same pressures, publishers will see increased competition for attention as the economy opens back up. About 130 million people in the US and about 500 million globally have been vaccinated against COVID-19, which means some semblance of normalcy is on the horizon, but this couple with the fact that Biden administration doesn't drive a non-stop new cycle, like the predecessor, means that consumers are starting to spend less time on their screens. Competing with the user-generated content

is top of mind for Austin Reef, co-founder Morning Brew. He said, you're competing with basically every human on the planet, everyone on, everyone can create content. Publishers have to figure out what makes you unique. Why are you going to open up a Morning Brew newsletter versus just go on Instagram or go on Twitter? Thoughts on this.

The media is going to go after the low hanging fruit. They think about a new cycle for that day and they attack it. That's why Trump was a gift from God for them. For four years, actually five and a half years, you know, when he started his campaign, they had him. That's why I couldn't understand, you know, their their their intensity of getting him out. You got what you wish for. He's gone. So here's the bottom line. and this is where it's going. They have to find something else now because they don't have compelling personalities. Name me one interesting personality on MSNBC or really CNN. I mean, they have some names that are out there the Don Lemons of the world because they rail on Trump. You know who they are, but can they

carry a show if they don't have one enemy or one thing just to rail against. This is going to happen. You mark this down. This is 100% here's what's coming. The COVID threat is going to be back. And I guarantee you and I promise you that is what the media is going to hang their hat on for the next few weeks. You watch for it. I'll tell you two alerts I got today. LA time. LA times, right? And this is where things are getting better in LA We're about to hit the next tier. I think it's the orange tier right where they allow 50% occupancy inside restaurants It's really getting bad. It's traffic pat. I mean there's traffic jams You're getting caught in traffic for the first time in over a year. I look at that is a

Some people actually saying great to traffic jam. Yeah, the same people aren't gonna be able to go to 160 on the freeway anymore I don't know whatever these people are so here's the LA Times alert today, a life and death race. All right, a life and death race right now that we're in with COVID. Here's the one from the USA today. We're skating on a knife's edge right now. Scientists were a US could be headed for yet another COVID-19 surge. All the evidence is saying the numbers are going down because they are hospitalizations, deaths, uh, all of it.

It's going down, it's getting better. These people are evil that keep pushing this on us. This effect that it has on optimistic people and people that have hope and people with common sense, it's just immoralizing. You've got to ignore some of this stuff. You've just got to get your news from VT-Pose.com because we're not going to go out there and scare the hell out of you.

We're just going to tell you what's going on. But this is serious, and this is where it's going, and you're going to hear it all week, I promise you. I mean, it is what it is. What I can appreciate, whether you're a fan of Trump, not a fan of Trump, is that we're beginning, whether it's COVID, whether it's Trump, there's definitely a return to normalcy in this country

and we're getting back to reality, not a reality TV president. And whether Trump was here for four years or for eight years, it is what it is. The media would always try to find a new story. I mean, you worked in media for a long time, you get it, the stress that was going on in the last four years for most people.

I asked someone the other day, I said, can you tell me what's going on with Joe Biden is up to these days? And they were, they're sort of a middle of the ground person. They go, honestly, I haven't paid attention to the news in like three months. And am I gone? You were so involved in every story for years.

You were posting stuff on your social media. It's like, they're like, yeah, I'm over it now. So for the average person out there, just move on with your life, bro. The media of their ratings are down, who cares? MSNBC had ridiculously high ratings. Now I'm sure Fox will spike back up because they can rail against Biden and MSNBC will drop

and certain CNN shows and Cuomo show won't have. They'll always find a story to spend. They'll always find the news of the day. I can understand and appreciate why you think COVID will be a story for the next few weeks, but the reality is, you know, we've already vaccinated 100 million people. Biden came out there and he said,

by May 1st or before May 1st, the next few weeks, 90% of Americans will be able to be vaccinated. So I think, and I'm knocking on wood here, by this summer, I think there's actually gonna be return to normalcy in this country, and I think that's what most people wanna see. Can I make a recommendation?

I wanna make a recommendation. Okay, and by the way, if you like this recommendation, do me a favor and go on Twitter and tweet it at him, okay? If you buy this recommendation and put hashtag, PBD podcast, okay, if this makes sense, I want you to take out your phone and go tweet this out with this recommendation and put hashtag PBD podcast. And I'm going to like every single one of the posts to get the attention out there.

Ready? I think if there's ever been a time to buy a company. Today's a great time to buy CNN, cause they're getting hammered. And I think the right person who has the money to buy CNN and can buy for dirt cheap right now is a guy named Elon Musk. I don't think it bezels you by CNN. I think Elon Musk needs to go buy CNN.

Mr. Elon Musk, if you're listening to this, I highly, highly, highly recommend you buy CNN. You would piss off half the planet if you bought it. And you would gain so many viewership because people would be all over it if your name's behind it. Just go do it. Cutter check. He's not going to do it.

I don't know if he would do it or not. Cutter check. Go buy CNN. I think if a Koch brother tried to buy the surviving Koch brother, if they try to buy, they're not going to let them buy it. They have the money if they wanted to buy it. I think if anybody on the right were to buy, they're not going to let them buy it. But Elon Musk is politically, if I were to say Elon Musk, where is that? I put Elon Musk in the middle. I think Elon Musk is a center guy. And I think Elon Musk

could actually make CNN exciting. And it would be great to have a new station actually be center. There's things that are far right, there are things that are far left. What about if Musk buys CNN? Can you see that happening? It would be amazing actually because, you know, I was actually gonna bring up the point today,

he's in the news every single day. Is there a point where he's not as interesting anymore? And if he owned this network, he wouldn't have to worry about anything on social media being banned at any time. He could get away with anything he wanted. It would be a pretty brilliant move. I'm gonna tweet it out right now, crazy idea.

I believe Elon Musk, and if you wanna go retweet this, I believe Elon Musk. Okay, go ahead, Adam, you have an opinion on this or can I have anything to say about this? Who's the the who's the Who's leading see a Jeff Zucker was his name? I believe he's stepping down. He's the head CNN. I believe he's stepping down This year I think is extra strategy is like mid to late 2021 And where's Ted Turner in all this these days? I know that's a someone you might right? Where's Ted Turner what does he have to turners pissed off with what CNN turned into. Believe it or not. If you

see how he finishes his books, his book, he wasn't happy about the way CNN ended. Right. You know, if Elon bought CNN, at least you would go into it thinking this is not going to be political. If Jeff Bezos buys CNN, it is a political left wing news organization period, just like the Washington Post. If Elon did it, you'd have so many people that were just interested. Well, and be entertaining. The entertainment factor of it would be pretty much through the roof because it would be unpredictable and everything. But yeah, it would be nice to see something where you look at it and you can identify what

political leaning they have. That would be cool. I mean, CNN, where would you put CNN on the curve? How far left? I've seen that. How far left? They're the block right next to MSNBC. Okay. So. Don Lemon.

Chris Pomo? Chris Pomo's a little bit more towards the middle. He's not. He's not towards the middle. He's not towards the middle. No, I didn't see. On the left. He's right of Don Laman. I do think that. I think he's right.

I'm going down the line. Okay. Go buy CNN. Buy it. Buy it, Elon. Go buy CNN. Put on a group. Okay. Let's raise the money. Go buy. See get overpay for it. He could. He could overpay for it. It's a great time to do it. Uh huh. It's a great time to do it right now. There you go. There's your overpaying reference. Yeah. It's a great time to do it. It's a great time to do it right now. There you go, there's your overpaying reference. Yeah, it's a great time to overpay. Look at that. 260, 120. It's a, you know, it's a great time to,

what's the market, go look at what the price of CNN is right now. Go look at exactly what it is right now. Market cap. 14. Who owns it right now? They own it. A UK company on CNN or you're looking at a different company? Okay.

Can you find out or no? Trading view. It's time-or-ner, is that? Market, just put, okay, Kai. CNN doesn't have his own individual stock. Is it time-or-ner? Kai, can you click on one of those things right there? Just click on that thing right there, right there.

Yeah. Okay, let's see what we're looking at. CNN. I think it's a time-warner company. Okay, we'll try to figure that. See, you do the research to see if you can find that out. Do it on your phone so people are not getting distracted with the back.

Okay, so the every given has been freed and is moving again after six days of blocking the Suez Canal business insider story says. The massive container ship that spend days stuck at the Suez Canal was set free on Monday. Tugboats were able to pull the 220,000 ton ship the size of the Empire State building from the bank of the Canal where it had been stuck for nearly a week. Every given was stuck for about 152 hours which by the way week is 168 hours. So it's shy of a week with the cost of the blockage

having been estimated at a $400 million an hour that amounts to a total cost of $60 billion on Friday. Authorities hailed a minor victory as a ship's rudder was freed, but it took until Monday morning for the entirety of the stern to be released. Through the use of tugboats, the ship's own winches and a specialist dredging ship that can move upwards to 70,000 cubic feet of sand and hour 30,000 tons of sand were shifted in the effort according to

Boschales a Dutch company that worked with the Egyptian authorities town. Can you imagine just the stress and the pressure on the people to get this thing out of there? This shut down both directions of the Suez Canal. So you're talking 350 ships that were waiting to pass through from either side. This is really unbelievable. 19,000 ships pass through there every single year. And one of the problems right now is these ships are so much bigger than they were in the 80s and 90s.

They're harder to navigate. And they're stacked higher. So the wind can't affect it. Now there is a very good chance that there was some human error involved in this one. And that's where the investigation is going to take them. And there's no liability for the ship captain at all in this thing. But think about the insurance that is going to have to be paid out for the delays on this thing. This is going to be almost like an exonvalde situation.

You know, it's, when you consider how important that little strip is and how much of the goods that we rely on go through there, it's unbelievable. And it has affected us and it's going to affect California and the rest of the country because there's an eight-day wait now for ships to unload in LA and Long Beach. So this thing has ramifications. That's gonna affect a lot of people.

Thank God they fixed it and think how smart these people had to be to get this thing disl ramifications. That's gonna affect a lot of people. Thank God they fixed it. And think how smart these people had to be to get this thing dislodged. I mean, how do you even begin to come up? They were gonna try to unload all 20,000 crates to make it lighter so they could maybe push it out of there. But man, kudos to these guys for getting this thing out of the sand.

Let's get the barges going back and forth now so we can get our toilet paper and everything else that we need. But man, think out it's over. It's one of those things where you don't think about how important the Suez Canal is unless there's an issue. Right? I mean, it's located in Egypt. North of it is the access to Europe and everything that's going on in Greece and that area. South of it, Middle East, down to Africa, down to the Indian Ocean.

For whatever reason, this just, not to get all political, this just shows that you can be all about nationalism America first or whatever your country first is. We're in a global world right here. This is what we talk about trade and the high seas and what's going on and when China's building an army bases in the South China Sea and why the waterways are so important in ships and everything like that,

it's because of stuff like this. Now, another perspective for you, I wish we could play it, but I don't think we can. There was a thing on our friends, CNN, they went to about 20 different kids. I think I sent this to and said, hey kids, I, all five, six, eight-year-old kids, what would you do to get the ship?

The ship is stuck in the Suez Canal. What would you do to get the ship out of there? And the kids, I mean, they're so cute. They're like, wow, get a big tweezer and lift it up. Or I would get like 500 helicopters and fly it or I would get tugboats, it was just really cute. I like stuff like that because it makes little kids think and have ingenuity and you brought this up the other day,

think like a child. Where do you bring it up? A child like a video like it with that. Child like thinking. And there's another story over here just about spending an hour day thinking that Einstein would do and and our friend Steve Jobs. But it was very interesting to see what kids came up with the plan they came out with. And how did they end up getting it out? Was it tugboats? Was that what it was? Combination of everything. Okay. Yeah. They had to move a whole

lot of sand for one thing. But $400 million an hour it was calling it. Here's a billion dollars. Here's some some people look at this under like dude, Suez Canal. I don't even know where is it in Mexico. And you know, for some people that you know, you know, it was Suez Canal in Iran. Is it in Suez Canal sounds like a nice club in Panama? Where is Suez Canal and why is it such a big deal? To simplify it so we all understand what this means, think about if Brooklyn Bridge was shut down for a week and you live in New York. Now try living life without Brooklyn Bridge, okay?

Imagine if there's no Bay Bridge, okay? How annoying and complicated does that make your life? Now some people say, well, all I would do is I would take 55th and I would go here and I would, I get it, I still get it, but it adds an additional two hours of drive going home. You gotta go around. That's right, that's the point, right?

And you're just trying to get home. Now, add that to commerce. Add that to stuff that we're doing. So for people to understand how massive this is, because a Harvard economist said this in common, I'm gonna come to you. A Harvard economist said the final which is important to read that has to do with this.

What page is that on by the way? It's right below the story. Give me the page. I'll just read this here. Okay, so Harvard economist says, and former IMF, chief economist Kenneth Rogoff said, it's like a natural catastrophe and so it has profound short term effects.

I don't think it will have a long term effect except to the extent at least to rethinking of regulation, rerouting. There are these checkpoints in global trade and it's a little disconcerting to learn that what goes down can have such a wide-ranging effect that mostly hits Europe, not the United States, but with all the ships being rerouted,

we will feel it to the Swiss-Canabelle Lockidge, will further rout a global supply chains that have already been disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Rode Hong Kong based JPMorgan research team. So when you read this the effects of it are big. It's going to be short time. It's not going to be long term but it's just annoying. That's really all it is. It's not catastrophic to the point where the end of the world it is annoying. Kai you were're gonna say something no just also that there's a ripple effect of even though

like you're saying with the bridges and the Brooklyn analogy imagine if eight million people have to do the same thing then that's kind of where the back that's that's pretty scared eight million people trying to even now with the the fact that the boats out of there there's still a backlog of ships that need to funnel through because it's traffic literally. Yeah. They have been standing and waiting up there for the last week.

Can I hide under the table for a while? I just got an alert from the LA Times that some say the pandemic is over. In California, as crowds return, but experts are worried. I'm just going to hide. All right, I'm going to take cover. You know, the other thing about the Suiz Canal, we live in an instantaneous world. What we want we get, go to Amazon, do it, fast text,

whatever it is, there's still big barges that have to go halfway around the world to bring most of the stuff that we want, including all the PPE supplies that the medical profession relies on right now. All that stuff is coming on slow boats or fast boats from the middle or from the far east as well.

So yeah, it just, it just, and I drove by Long Beach the other day and you could kind of see some of the havoc that's going on out there in the, in the pier. And by the way, the guy Daniel Ponce de Leon, the baseball player for the St. Louis Cardinals that I wrote the book with. Yeah. His dad is the head of the union for the crane operators in the port of LA and Long Beach. They're in charge of unloading every single one of those. Ramon, great job man, keep it up.

And I know you're gonna be working overtime the next few weeks, but yeah, we rely on these guys and we just don't know. So, we're about to get into a story that has to do with Steve Jobs, Einstein, and other new, your neuroscientist about thinking and how to boost your creativity. But before I do that, let me give a shout out

to some of you guys that contributed to the channel. We have Old Run Noelle, Zenitram gave $20 and said, why are we still using unions? They're corrupted a core and just funnel money to politicians and special interests as 2021. These people are being paid decently already and it should only be a stepping stone job. Interesting. Okay. Next, we have good mother, very loyal and big fan of Adam

Saasnick, unions are why incompetent people don't get fired. The children just go to work, mommy to abdicate responsibility. Very good point, by the way, why people at bad employees don't get fired. Okay, next one, we have an Army vet, Corey reposite, give $10 Army vet, MI-35 series military, doesn't need to go softer, being in a military and being deployed.

Demband's physical and mental stamina, Army strong. Thank you for your service brother. We have another one from Odra, gave another $10, said unions were good when workers were literally signing away their rights and ownership slaves. These jobs, and absolutely right how it started was a noble cause. These jobs should not be long term. These jobs should only be a step in stone. He's making a point again.

Zeal, I will respond back to you. Honestly, with the video, why do you think coffee is ill, saying PHP is scamming people with video. Here's one thing you have to know when it comes out to insurance and recruiting. The challenge the industry I chose to be a part of, we recruit independent, this is same thing Northwestern Mutual struggles with, it's the same thing

Primeraica struggles with New York live, Keller Williams, insurance is very hard. It's very hard to be in a game of insurance. It's not an industry to be a part of. That's why it pays so handsomely if you're in it because the product is a very noble product, but the methodology, it's not easy to do. It it because the product is a very noble product, but the methodology, it's not easy to do.

It's not the first two years, three years, five years is challenging to be in it. Ask any insurance agent that's been around for five or ten years, they will tell you been in the industry for now. How many years? Fifteen years. Fifteen years. They're turnover ratio in the industry is so high. When I got in, I wanted to quit this industry every flipping day for the first two years I got in. I almost joined the army. I

went and got another job at Bally's. I asked my boss Robbie to give me another job just to make some money as a morning manager starting at four o'clock in the morning. I haven't watched the whole video but the whole premise at the fact that our system, our culture, how it is, we're very competitive environment. We are somebody that's a loves competing. We have a different kind of a culture. But unfortunately, when you have a 10, 99 type of an environment, you can't please everybody.

There are areas that we take full responsibility on that we're constantly working on. But unfortunately, it is tough when people don't get license. It is tough when people are going out there trying to get the business going and people reject them. Very, very difficult business to be a part of, but if you do make it, your life can be changed dramatically. And that goes with, so if you go look at, do the same search with any of the other competitors, you'll find similar articles constantly being out there, but maybe I will do a response video on breaking that

down. That's a little bit more lengthy. Maybe I'll do something like that in next few weeks. So stay tuned. I may do something with that here coming up. Okay, unions are for lazy people. Grow pair America says T, S, Z, Y, D. And then we have a kitty man. Have you get 499?

I said, have you guys seen the video that Biden was walking to the helicopter and stopped to talk to reporters and his hand went, thought the reporter Mike, I think you misspelled something right there. The age Shemaat argued against David Sachs on the all in podcast this week and a market growth and innovation will not allow us

to put into a bubble and that printing money has no immediate effect on inflation. I agree, the keyword in that sentence is what. Immediate. Immediate, you're right. It doesn't immediately have immediate effect on inflation. I agree, the key word in that sentence is what? You mean immediate? You're right, it doesn't immediately have an effect on inflation. Long term, yeah. I had that question for, because obviously everyone's

very concerned about inflation, which is printing a $5 trillion over the last 14 months, well less 13 months. I asked Danielle DiMortino-Buth, a host of Down the Middle on Value Tainment. She's on the podcast. I said, talk to me about inflation. She goes, well, when unemployment is still very high, I think we're at 6.2%, that has a direct correlation on inflation.

I said, oh, interesting. Tell me more about that. She goes, well, the more people out of work, they can't pay for stuff. And the government supporting them, and they're collecting unemployment. And obviously, stay stay innocent all that. And she said just stay tuned. Nothing immediate, but keep your eye on the price. Those comments were really interesting and you didn't get one pro union comment in the

whole scroll there. And you know the interesting thing. I mean I bet if we look through the comments, we probably got a couple pro union, but most people are not going to be pro union. Yeah, and wanted to be interesting with Amazon, you think there's no more technology driven company or advanced when it comes to that. Everything they do is data and everything and they're so fast and it's all online anyway. Could you imagine if they were slowed down by something so archaic as starting a union

in 2021? That is the exact opposite direction that most companies are going, you know, and to think that it could happen to Amazon And it could really be a huge problem for them. Well being that you're in LA And you're in the media world. Do you have a lot of friends who are actors? And then they're in the Hollywood sag screen actors guild. What are their thoughts on that? Well, I mean, I haven't pulled them lately I mean, it's it's pretty much necessary Because usually I do, but just lately.

I have an old one lately. You know, you ask all of them, it's where they get their insurance benefits. It's their health insurance, so they fight for them. The SAG after is a strong union. Yeah. I mean, that is one that's actually effective. So most of them are pretty positive about it. Awesome.

Okay, so let's talk about how to boost your creativity with non-time secret used by Steve Jobs Einstein and other neuroscientists as business insider. At a time when many of us are working remotely due to the pandemic, it can be difficult to access your creative spark, especially if you've settled into a routine. Non-time a secret followed by great minds from Apple Steve Jobs to scientists at Albert Einstein is the art of doing nothing but thinking. Journalist writer and speaker Steven Kotler, who authored the art of impossible earlier this, she coined the concept of non-time as period of taking break from the sensory bombardment of the world.

Writer for writing for TED Talks, Kotler said, non-time is time for day dreaming and psychological distancing and allowing our subconscious to find remote associations between ideas. He also cited the importance of stepping away from deadlines, calling them kryptonite for creativity and also underlining the importance of solitude. Thoughts. I mean, I love this story.

I love this story. I mean, every morning, I do. I do. I do. I mean, look, if it's good enough for Einstein and Steve Jobs, it's good enough for Adam Salson. Can you tell us your morning routine? So, yeah. I have a I do. I mean, look, if it's good enough for Einstein and Steve Jobs, it's good enough for Adam's help. Can you tell us your morning routine? So yeah, I've done a morning routine for the last five years and I'm up at you know give or take depending on when the podcast is somewhere around seven o'clock, right?

That's my time. If when the podcast starts earlier, a little bit closer to six. The first hour of my day, I Those are the six. The first hour of my day, I chug water, I just, I think, I chill, and I'll do yoga stretching for a half hour. I just stay flexible. I think I do an affirmation. I say positive thoughts. And it's, when you start your day and you get to the office

and next thing you know, you're doing a podcast and then you gotta return emails and you got conference calls and you gotta go get lunch and then you gotta, it's so hard to find that time to do that. And something that you always talk about is we gotta find time to have just creative meetings. We gotta find time just to have brainstorming sessions.

And because in the monotony of the day, it's so hard to get that. So for me, for people out there, obviously, if you get a rush out of the office, I had the luxury of working from home remotely for the past seven years. And then now I'm coming in an office every day, ironically. But I take the first hour of my day just to get my mind right.

And meditation, yoga, mindfulness, stretching, whatever it is for you, I highly recommend it. I actually had dinner and drinks with, I won't say his name, but probably the biggest guy in the nightlife world in Miami. And you're talking about a guy for years would be in fist fights, just crazy, is a Brooklyn guy, just, and I go, so tell me about what you're up to these days, it goes, every morning I meditate for an hour, and he goes, I can't tell you how much better my life is. So mindfulness and just wellness is a thing these days, it's a real thing, and I encourage

everyone to check it out. I want to do more of it. I don't know if this is something you have. Somebody said, right, their atoms comparing himself to Einstein is exciting. And I mean, well, he was a European Jew. Just like my people. So there is some comparison there.

And Tom, you're in LA. You got all this green stuff going on. Oh, who the hell is Einstein in jobs to give us any advice? What have they done? You know what? Virginia is like that. I mean, Einstein could take a three-hour nap and

invent a new flying frisbee. Something, you know, these guys are so... That's flying. That's intense. Um, this doesn't work for me. I don't need downtime. I don't like downtime. I run from downtime.

For me, it just doesn't work. I like chaos. And even at night, I like chaos. What do you mean? What do you mean? I can't sleep for more than three or four hours at a time. I got to get up, walk around, do something, look at some stories, do some things, but maybe that's why you need. So maybe I do. Maybe I do. I think it just depends for each individual, but I think a lot of people might take this advice and just go with

the doing nothing part, right? And forget about the butt thinking. So it's interesting. I can definitely see some therapeutic advantages for some people and it's probably a really good thing. I just don't think I could, you know, take it to. Have you ever done anything like this, Pat? Oh, I like, listen, actually, for me, I think, I call it a long time, not non-time. I like to sit there, grab a paper and pen and think.

And I'll play a song. It's it's by this guy that plays a piano I obviously can't play it or else the video would be Private I play video I play the song piano and I listen to it and I think and I write and I look at data And I look at articles and I'll just sit there thinking what if we did this and what if we did that and what if we did that I'm fully for it on doing that and obviously prayer God knows how effective it is to pray and to meditate, you know yoga is a very good thing I used to do yoga regularly religiously and Beakroom yoga. It was phenomenal for me. So I can totally see a

Correlation between this and that and at the same time I relate to Thomas Well if you go on a vacation with me, I'm a three day guy. I can't go. Some of these guys go for two weeks, three weeks. I'm terrible for two or three weeks. You're going with vacation. You go with me for three days.

You'll have the time of your life. The moment we get into seven days, you're gonna say, Pat, can we just go back to work and do something? But for three days, you'll have a lot of fun with me. What is in your DNA that you can't check out? We have more than three days. I have to build.

I'm a creator. I'm a creator. I'm a builder. I got to build things. I got to go make progress towards something. So if we're there past three days, now we have to compete who swims the fastest. Now we have to go out and see if we can swim across to the island across to us.

Can we make it in the next hour? And let's try this. And let's. Plus you be antsy, and you be not as much fun to be around because your mind would be elsewhere. My mind would be elsewhere. That's why I'm three days. Three days time of your life. Four as much fun to be around because your mind would be elsewhere. My mind would be Hillsprid. That's why I'm three days three days time of your life. For that as we all know your mind might be telling you know But your body

Your body might be telling you. Yeah, you know that song Arkelly there you go Tom. He got it. So mind mind body Very check it out. Very impressive. How did that work for Arkelly? I'm a bit of song you. I'm a bit of song you. Yeah. What was that?

The Dave Chappelle. The Dave Chappelle. The Dave Chappelle remixed Arkelly. We have to say that because it's important for you to say that. Yeah, people might take it literal. Exactly. All right. People don't know about that.

All right, so let's go to our buddy Fauci. Okay, let's go to our buddy Fauci, what happened this last week with him. He took full credit to what he called it. At Tom calls him Fauci. Fauci, yes. Fauci. Fauci blames a new surge in US COVID-19 cases. Again, Fauci blames a new surge in US COVID-19 cases on variants, travel during spring

break and states prematurely pulling back restrictions, story by business and said, Dr. Fauci said that US COVID-19 cases were rising again because of infectious coronavirus variants, people traveling more and states easing restrictions too soon. More than 62,000 new coronavirus infections were reported in the US on Saturday up from a fewer than 50,000 on March 11th and its January peak and a numbers of new cases up from a fewer than 50,000 on March 11th, and it's January peak and a number of new cases in the US are more than 250,000. Besides variants, Fauci said that travel around spring break in states prematurely, pulling back on COVID-19 restrictions were likely, causes two more than 11 states have

eased restrictions, despite the CDC warning that now is not the time. On March 12th, US some more than 1.3 million travelers go through with airports the most of any other day in the past time. Falsi, you spotlight craving, camera loving, overrated, over the here, over the hill, fear monger. That's what he is right now. Go write your book, go make a couple million,

take a victory lap. Okay, you did it. You saved the world last year. I will give you all that credit if you promise to leave. Okay, because he's dangerous. He is dangerous to this country with his constant negativity. And there is something to be said about that. He will never, ever temperate with something positive.

Hey, we're doing this right. Hey, look at Texas. They, uh, no masks. They opened the state up on March 10th. Cases are down. Will anybody ever mention that? Google that. You won't even get news results on what's going on in Texas

as far as, you know, the, what's happened since March 10th when they opened up the state entirely. So Fousey, your run is over, bro. Okay. You're 80? This is not the position for you anymore. I'm giving you some good career advice. Everybody knows your name now.

Okay, you can go home and you could just watch YouTube clips of yourself on the news because I know how much you love that. But please, for the sake of this country, let somebody who doesn't have some skin in the game for scaring the hell out of everybody is giving our updates enough. Seriously, I have had it. He should not be getting involved

in any sort of back and forth with Donald Trump. Do you realize what a mismatch that is, trying to engage with Donald Trump in any sort of argument? It's not working. Look, he was probably miscast for this role. So I don't even blame him. I don't think he should be in this role to start with.

He doesn't have the right type of background as a doctor. It's not his specialty. All right, so go. What do you mean it's not his specialty? It's not. I mean, he's a new infectious. This type, I've talked to doctors about this. I've talked to high ranking doctors that his background

probably hasn't made him as suited as he should be for giving these types of forecasts for what's going on or making all these dire doomsday scenarios for us. So I seriously have a problem with Dr. Fauci. That's his name, it's Fauci. It's Fauci. It's Fauci.

Tom, if I play a game with you, would you be willing to play a game right now? I don't think so. Well, you don't even know what the game is. I, but I'm, I'm, you don't even know what the frickin' game is. But this way, I'll win if I don't even play it. Let's play a game.

I'm gonna give you three names, and you've heard of MFK, Mary F. Kill. No, that's why I'm the wrong guy to play this game with. It's time. Go with us here, bro. You're not gonna, you're not gonna, I'm gonna give you three names, and you've heard of, can I curse?

Maryfuck kill, you've heard of this game? I have not. Okay, now I get it. I thought you were talking about an actual person name. Mary, my bad. Okay, Maryfuck kill. I'm gonna give you three names, and you have to pick for a fun, bro, for fun.

Who's fun? This is not fun for me. I'm gonna give you you Dr. Fauci, your boy Gavin Newsom and Bernie Sanders. Now you have to marry fucker kill one of them. Who you going with Tom? Okay, that's a good question. Now I'm gonna use this.

I'm gonna use this one, maybe some gender. How about that? A high five, spend a weekend together. Sure, yeah. And in fact, with the coach. Just to be clear, he's not going to actually have sex, Mary and or kill anybody. Okay, dinner, drink travel.

Yeah, how about that? They're drink travel. So it's Bernie? Kick someone out of your car, hang out with them for the whole day or travel with them for a week. Okay, so I would put, see, the thing with Gavan Gavin Newsom is there's no guarantee that somebody better would replace him So I can't just say get it is good look. Yeah, he leaves true looks the part. There's no question about it Okay, Bernie and Fousey are pretty much on the same level for me and then Newsom below that how's that so who's getting what well?

I'm gonna kill come on you're not agree with him. I don't want to kill anybody. I, we're playing a game. Okay. I'll kill Drink, Dinner, Travel. Well, you got to kill someone. You got to kick him out of the car. Let's kill the oldest. Let's kill the oldest. Fous Sanders. Oh, Fous, he's the two older.

Okay, so Fous, he's done. He's out. No offense doctor. I mean, I don't, I just planned it for you. No offense. I just planned that. They're forcing me to do this. Okay, all right. So you killed Fous. Yeah. Who who you marrying and who you're gonna kind of a one night sandwich

But I mean this just shows how ridiculous this game is because you put game you put three I don't make your point. I just think Tom. Yeah, I just want to get what's your point? Where's the frickin stop sign? There's no point we're playing a game But you have to have your marion I'm begging you just toss it. No, it's not there. It's true. Okay, don't worry about you're not gonna get okay, throw it Seriously, I just want to get the level of hate. There's definitely levels of regulatory It's not hate. Honestly, this is not about hate Dr. Fauci if you see this. This is not about hate at all I just don't think we need your messaging right now. That's my point. I want to play a game with Tom on Have Fun with Tom.

I don't want to play it. Where he's turning it. He's turning it. He's turning it. He's turning it. He doesn't like him. So what's your point? No, I just... That's it? This whole shenanigans you did for that? Seriously. I'm thinking you're going to a point. Like, if you were to ask me, I would've said,

I'll have a drink. Yeah. With Newsom, I'll have dinner with Sanders. I'll travel with Cuomo. I think you're through Cuomo in there. Yeah. Did you say Cuomo? You put Fauci Newsom in Bern? I have no desire to do anything with Fauci. That's okay. So you're killing Fauci. Yeah, no, not killing Fauci. It's just, look, let me give my thoughts on this here. So this guy goes on TV and does an interview. And Fauci says the following. He says, he says, making the decision that was the best decision I ever made. So fully taking credit for all of the vaccine

that's the best decision I ever made is what I did. I, I, Fauci is the best decision I ever made. You know, last year I interviewed Judy Mike of it. I don't know if you guys remember when I interviewed with Judy Mike of it. Okay, and she was the one that used to work with Fauci years ago. Yeah, when there was a AIDS, you know, epidemic, she was working on that with Fauci. She was in her early to mid 20s and she was working with...

She was in the 90s when was this? This was in late. I don't know mid-20s and she was working with. She was in the 90s when was this? This was late. I don't know the exact year, but they were working together. Eighths, yeah. That makes me feel like I'm in a mess. 84, I don't know the exact year to say that. Again, I don't want to date it. But she said, and I'm sitting there talking to her, and one of the things that my concern

was, is why is she so much, she has so much hate towards Fauci? Okay. Obviously, the interview was taken down in no time. Most of her interviews were taken down during that time. But you know what she did say? She said, Fauci would always brag about one day being famous. She said that in one of the interviews. I'm like, what?

That doesn't make any sense. What do you mean he wanted to be famous? Is you have no idea how bad this man wanted to be famous? He wanted so bad to be famous. I'm like, huh? Okay. Do you walk away with it? You're like, yeah, I don't know if I believe that. Okay. You're doing interview. Like, okay, great. I mean, that's our thoughts. You know, there's obviously a lot of, you know, challenges between the tools. She got fired. All these things that happened. But what do you mean I? I've made the best decision. Here's the one thing people have to realize.

So let's get Fauci and Trump. Who knows more about medical history? Who knows more about Fauci? Fauci. Trump clearly. Who knows more about negotiation? Trump. Okay.

Can you actually see how Fauci wouldn't negotiate? You guys better get the stun on the next six months or else. I can't see that. Do you know when Fouchy would ask him how long? And Trump would say, we're going to get the vaccine by the end of the year. Fouchy would say what? I don't think you guys remember this.

It's not going to happen. It's going to take 18 months. Let's not get our hopes too high. This takes a long time. It's not going to be as fast as the president sets. It's not going to be, let's say 18 months, I think it's going to be second quarter 2021. Trump would say,

nope, we're gonna get it done by the end of the year. All of America would lose their mind. No, you know, he doesn't know what he's talking about. Trump gets elected. Next week, Trump loses the election. Next week, there's a vaccine because of who? Fauci's ability to negotiate. No. You got realized. I mean, Trump drove that. And for him to say, I am glad I made this decision. Look, did you land on the moon, or who said we're gonna go and land before the end of the decade? Who said that? Kennedy said it.

Who says that? You need administrator behind closed doors. You wanna take credit for Kennedy's vision? Trump said we're gonna have vaccine by the end of the year. Then he pushed the people that would create an adhesive to pot, they led the way, and now we have what we have with vaccination, we're about to get to 200 million and 100 days, whatever the timeline is.

So, you know, there's a part of that, every once in a while, you know, if Fauci will come and you'll say, well, it's pretty reasonable, but then he shows one of these situations where like, all you have to say is, give some credit to the guy that you were negotiating with as well, you don't have to take the credit for this thing. Trump let the way on getting it done early. It's a God complex. When you start as a doctor, when you start throwing yourself out there like that,

I mean seriously it's not healthy what he's doing to this country. Plus he contradicts himself, you know, the numbers are going to work. Now what about the vaccine? Everybody's getting vaccinated. Shouldn't the numbers be going down? They just want going down. The numbers are going to work. The numbers are going down. The numbers are going to work. The numbers are going down. The numbers are going down. The numbers are going to work. The numbers are going down. The numbers are going to work.

The numbers are going down. The numbers are going down. The numbers are going down. The numbers are going down. The numbers are going down. The numbers are going down. The numbers are going down. The numbers are going down.

The numbers are going down. The numbers are going down. The numbers are going down. The numbers are going down. The numbers are going down. The numbers are going down. The numbers are going down. The numbers are going down. The numbers are going down. The numbers are going down. The numbers are going down. The numbers are going down. The numbers are going down. The numbers are going down. The numbers are going down. The numbers are going down. The numbers are going down. The numbers are going down. The numbers are going down. The numbers are going down. The numbers are going down.

leader. So and my dad says you're gonna buy a truck from an artist. I said why is this guy an artist? He's got he's got painting all over his body. I said that. He's got tattoos. He's from MS-13 dad. We kind of are buying the truck from an MS-13 guy. So anyways good stuff good conversations looking forward to doing again next week. Take care everybody. Bye bye. Bye bye.
