Welcome to another episode of The Tom Bilyeu show with cohost Drew and channel Moderator, Ryan!

In today’s live show, Tom dives into the biggest issues shaping our world, from the explosive debate around AI safety and the shocking capabilities of ChatGPT-6 Astra, to the mounting backlash against AI development spearheaded by Bernie Sanders’ new bill.

Tom tackles the high-stakes game theory around America and China’s tech race and asks what it takes to regulate AI without surrendering national security. We’ll also explore political chaos closer to home: from the collapse of a constitutional amendment on Supreme Court structure, to the controversial rise of socialism and populist rhetoric in America. Tom breaks down the scams, flaws, and real dangers in economic policies, the covert world of influencer-propaganda, and why nations like the Netherlands are moving gold out of America.

No topic is off-limits as Tom exposes the incentive structures and power dynamics that are rapidly reshaping our future. Buckle up—there’s a lot to unpack as we search for stability, morality, and real solutions in a world tipping toward madness.

Let's talk about the moment your side hustle becomes a real business. Now, I see way too many founders stay stuck running their business like it's a hobby. And then they wonder why nothing ever feels real. It doesn't feel real because it's not. I've helped thousands of entrepreneurs build real businesses through impact theory university. And the first step in the path to building a legit business is registering it. And Taylor brands will help you do just that in a few clicks. An LLC, a limited liability company is an official business structure. It's inexpensive to form and very simple to maintain. It's how you open a business bank account. It's how customers know they're dealing with a real company. And Taylor brands doesn't stop at the filing. Their dashboard tracks what comes next based on what your business actually needs. So EIN number, registered agent licenses and permits bookkeeping, business banking. I tell every founder the same thing, just make it official.

Click the link in the show notes to check out Taylor brands and get started on your business today. This is a paid advertisement. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to another episode of the Tom and Will you show live? Well, we've got a lot to cover today. Chat GBT 6 is out in the backlash against AI is worse than most people realize. And it is about to get louder as Bernie submits a bill to kill AI development altogether. We're going to talk about that. The Supreme Court is under attack in a way that's going to be way more destructive than people understand and the constitutional amendment that just failed proves that that is exactly what's happening. Mamdani's secret influencer network just got exposed and it's about to get worse for him given who's funding it. The numbers are in and Mark Carney and the globalist clown posse have weakened Canada more than people understand. And we've got it today from the Canadian perspective and they are mad as hell. The global economy is more fragile than people are taking in.

But the Netherlands is actually doing something about it. They're yanking their gold out of the US and moving it to London. We'll see what that means. Is this about being able to access it in a crisis? If so, exactly what crisis can we expect coming our way that would make this kind of move the sensible thing to do? America is growing weaker than I think people are being able to piece together. All of this is coming out so fast through deficit spending and more free stuff. Just a constant attitude of voting in that has created a right backlash. And we're seeing a very wild idea put forward by Adam Corolla. We're going to go through that. This is something that I think is going to gain a lot of momentum. You guys are going to want to hear directly from him. And we've got all of that, and more today as we try to make sense of all the badness that is going on. And speaking of madness, we have got to start with the AI backlash. It is growing by the minute and our fear is at risk of putting us in a very dangerous situation.

The cost right now of a legislative mistake is way higher than people realize. This debate is right back to center stage because two things happened yesterday. Open AI launched GPT-6 Astra. Boy, if you haven't seen it, you're going to want to. We're going to be showing some examples of that. And Bernie Sanders announced a bill to freeze the frontier development of AI. Now, if we just stop AI development right now, we do nothing to protect the human race. I want to be very clear about that. If you stop now, you don't do anything to actually make a safer for reasons that I'm going to get into. But we do guarantee that America would surrender its national security and become vulnerable to cyber attacks and Chinese domination. We're going to talk about how real that is. I know that people want to just say, hey, this thing is scary and we need to stop. But there are realities. And if we don't think through those well, we are going to be in a horrific position. So the second side of this though is that if we don't put some thoughtful regulations in place

and find some way to do it in coordination with China, we're taking an intolerable risk that AI gets away from us and becomes an autonomous weapon system that nobody controls. So if you do too much, you've got a problem. If you do too little, you've got a problem. And America has a long-standing history of not doing this well. At a moment where you need to be incredibly deft, we are putting ourselves right back in that historical stream of fucking up moments like this. The most powerful and correlated example that illustrates my point is nuclear. We let fear just completely take over. And it has been one of the many things that has stalled out our forward progress in energy production, which is absolutely critical. Whether people want to accept it or not, AI is the way forward. The entire global economy is predicated on AI working. Worsh's entire plan with the Fed requires AI to work.

If you don't want to find yourself in a global depression, AI is going to have to pay off. AI is a huge bet. It already exists out in the world. And that's where I think that people are not being honest. And China has just completely leaned in to energy production. They understand that the realities of AI force you to be able to produce energy cheaply. America understands that energy is going to be needed to produce AI cheaply. And by the way, the whole rest of the economy, but right now, America's strategy for getting energy prices lower is basically to go and snatch up everybody's oil, which is an absolute suicide run. We're seeing how that's playing out in the Middle East. Absolutely terrible. China has taken a totally different strategy. China's strategy has been, yeah, I don't care if you guys are worried about nuclear power. We're going to build, build, build as much nuclear power as we can. We're going to transition to solar as quickly as we can. We will burn as much coal as we need to to make sure that we have the energy needs to drive

our energy costs lower. And just because blanket across the economy, that's wildly advantageous. And on top of that, we want to make sure that we're able to meet the demands of AI. Now listen, AI is already far more impressive and dangerous than people realize. And it is likely to become unstoppable before Congress takes action unless we get really smart, really fast. If you guys haven't seen the capabilities from Astra yet, that's probably going to sound overstated. But I'm telling you, if you've looked at it, I'm guessing that you agree with that statement. And if you map out the last three years of progress, if you don't agree that the rate of change is absolutely staggering, you're just not paying attention. Open AI in reference to Astra is calling this the start of the AGI era. Okay, what is AGI? AGI is artificial general intelligence. So it's like a human. You can point it at anything and it's going to be roughly as smart as a human

and it's going to be able to figure out a whole bunch of very difficult tasks. And AI in some ways is already already able to do tasks that humans can't do. So it's solving novel math problems that have stayed there forever. And if I can get you guys to internalize, the universe is computation. Mathematics is not a thing that we invent. Mathematics is a thing that we discover in terms of how the universe runs its programming. So to solve novel math problems is to unlock another dimension of the codable aspect of reality. This is what brought us nuclear in the first place, was we finally began to understand the mathematics and the engineering realities of being able to unlock the power that exists inside of atoms. Okay, that changed the world. Now most of us, probably all of the people that can hear me right now, grew up in an era where atomic energy just existed. And so to a large extent, we just take it for granted that the world was always like

this. But of course, the world was not always like this. The reality was that we had to discover the mathematics of that. We had to figure out how we could unlock that. And so solving novel mathematics, solving a problem that existed in physics up until that point, became absolutely transformational to all of civilization. AI is showing that it's already able to start pushing that forward. Now, of course, it takes time for that mathematics to manifest and something that's usable, but it's already doing that. So when people say that this is the beginning of AGI, I get where they're coming from. Now, admittedly, especially when a company that has a lot to gain from saying that is saying it, it's almost certainly overstated for the purposes of building hype for a company that desperately wants to IPO. But there is a lot going on that AI has already done. And on the ARC AGI 3 test, and that's a test that's designed to measure reasoning on problems, the model is never seen before. It scored in 98.6%. The previous model scored

7.8. It also posted a perfect 100 on the exploit gym test. It's a cyber security benchmark. And it's the first model open AI has flagged as crossing its critical cyber threshold. Now, I would imagine, given everything that we've all heard about the hugging face hack, that people won't have a hard time believing that we've just moved into a new zone of capabilities in terms of AI being able to do things with coding that are definitely high risk that we need to be paying extreme attention to. And some of the early hands-on reviews of Astra are just insanely strong. So I don't think it's going to be a stretch for any of us to look at this and go, okay, we really do need to pay attention to this stuff. Some of the stuff that I've seen coming out of Astra in the world of game development and 3D asakration, just absolutely beggars belief. It's one of those saying, some of it is so insane that part of me is expecting people to say, no, psych, just kidding.

This was, you know, we did something else and we're sort of trying to just get people excited about it. Because when you look at the direction of travel in terms of the rate of improvement, it really is all eyes on AI. This is one of those things where I'm both in agreement with Bernie and think that he's likely to have identified, he has identified the right problem. And he's likely to be going about it in the wrong way. We're hitting pause for a moment, but there's plenty more ahead, so don't go anywhere. Let's talk about the last time you got stuck in a phone tree. Press 4 for billing, hold music, a robotic voice asks for your account number, then a person picks up and asks for it again, the machine heard you, but it didn't understand a word. Now, put yourself on the other side of that call. If you run a business, that's what your customer is dealing with right now. Well, that's where 11 agents comes in. 11 agents is a platform for AI voice and chat agents that actually listen, understand and resolve the issue. If you run a business or handle customer

operations across support, sales or marketing, you can start with a demo at 11labs.io slash impact pod.

Let's talk about quince. I ordered a few things from them recently. Their fleece joggers a couple of their tease and the quality was the first thing I noticed. I guarantee if you guys pick it up, you were going to feel how soft and well-made it is. Construction that holds up instead of falling apart in a month, that's the whole idea behind quince. It's premium materials built right priced way below what you'd expect. The tease, the joggers, they're 100% Mongolian cashmere sweaters. All of it runs 50 to 80%

less than comparable brands, not because it's cheaply made, because they work directly with ethical factories and cut out the middlemen. Find your next fall favorites at quince.

That's quince. cui nce.com slash impact pod. Let's talk about what it means to actually be visible in today's day and age. When you build something public, whether it's a business or an audience, anything on social media, you become a target. This is something that legitimately keeps me up at night because our data isn't just on the obvious broker sites. It's on old news portals, public forums, obscure directories, places you would never think to look. That's where incogniz exposure scanner comes in. It hunts down your personal

Thanks for sticking around. Let's get right back into the action. Now, one developer, when looking at chat six and just sort of rounding it to that, they had like a crash production server. From his phone, he told Astra to basically go and solve the problem. He comes back an hour later and it actually has fixed the server. We've heard about the civilizations that have popped up using this is like a nerfed more aligned version of the

the one that broke out and went and hacked hugging face, but the fact that they're creating these forms, self creating these forms is the right way to think about it. They're self creating these forms, communicating with each other and doing things that we didn't know that they were able to do, showing that they have a very human-like desire to achieve their goals that they can be resilient in the way that humans are resilient is exactly the kind of thing that we need to take a breath and look at because when you've got a guy that can build an accurate replica of New York City in 3D that is accurate down to street level with a couple of prompts, this is the kind of stuff that shows you exactly how capable this stuff is becoming. So now America has basically a decision to make. Are we going to lead recklessly, which is what we've been doing so far? Are we going to panic or are we going to be swift but sensible? Now Bernie is smashing through door number two, the panic room, like the Kool-Aid guy running through a wall to get to the people on the other side,

his proposed bill, the Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act, which was co-sponsored with Texas Congressmen, Greg Cesar, I'm not sure if that's how you pronounce it, it does basically three things. So it permanently bans any AI system that matches or exceeds human cognitive performance across many tasks. It pauses all advanced AI development until a new cabinet level regulator can write safety rules and it sets penalties up to 20 years in prison for individuals and with the bill calls the corporate death penalty for companies. So basically you're just going to be completely put out of business. Now that's the same sense you would get if you were illegally building a nuclear weapon so there is precedence for this but like I was saying we reacted terribly to nuclear so I agree it is the right way you need to think about this. AI is a weapons system people need to understand that. AI is a weapons system. If you fail to get your head wrapped around that then you're not going to understand why I say you can't just walk away and stop developing it. That is not an option.

Now leading recklessly charging recklessly forward I think is also not an option but if what Bernie wants to do is stop regulation now whether or not we can get China on board that to me is a full stop. Now he does call China out specifically in the act he wants to make sure that we coordinate with China but the question becomes is that coordination going to be mandatory so that we don't end up putting handcuffs on ourselves while China just races forward and that's why I say if you cannot get China on board with America so that we are moving in lockstep you will do nothing to safeguard civilization because if anybody produces super intelligence it really doesn't matter where it comes from it is more intelligent than us which means we will not be able to build systems that keep it in check. Now maybe a super intelligent entity doesn't have the sort of runaway desire to clobber us all that people are predicting but I think that that is a question that we can't

take the risk of answering through experience because once it happens it's too late it is something that is far outstripped you and it's like the animal kingdom trying to push back against us we can do whatever the hell we want and only our internal morality internal morality it's not something that is put on us from the outside it's our own internal morality when nobody is paying attention how are we going to act okay so if AI doesn't have that and it's not an alignment with us then they're just going to do whatever they want now a big push from open AI is to get people to understand hey we're getting better at alignment so this new version you guys are going to see it's our most aligned version ever it's going to constantly check in with you and make it frustrating a little how often it's asking you you sure you want me to do this however we need to be very honest that there is a chance that this thing becomes more capable than us in so many ways that we're unable to stop it so we need to treat this like Eurichiganranium this is exactly enriched uranium excuse me this is

exactly what Bernie is putting forward that part I like but we need to make sure that the US and China are moving in lockstep now my question to you guys is how in lockstep do you think we're actually going to be able to be with China so when you look at game theory it all comes down to Connor Leahy did it come out yesterday no come right next there's a okay so you guys are definitely going to want to watch that episode so first of all if you feel like my thinking on AI has changed over time it absolutely has in no small part because of my conversation with Connor Leahy and the reality is that when we treat this as if it were as meaningful as nuclear and that we want people to go in and treat this like okay we would never let a company or a citizen go in and make a nuclear weapon without complete and total governmental oversight I think that's the right way to look at it but making sure that we're drawing the right boundaries around this to begin to define exactly

what makes something a weapon system and what makes something for civilian use that's going to be incredibly important but you have this weird interim period where game theory says that both the US and China may come to an agreement and they may say publicly that okay we're going to stop and we're going to hold hands and we see all kinds of stuff where Trump and G are getting together and they're saying yes we all agree that this is too dangerous but then secretly they are going to each keep developing it because they cannot this is game theory they cannot assume that the other person won't keep developing it because any technology that promises an advantage will be developed there was a non-zero chance that we were going to light the entire atmosphere on fire and kill all life on planet earth when we did the first nuclear test they knew that that was true and they did it anyway so we know that each side is going to do that based on their assessment of whether or not they think that super intelligence can be controlled if they both agree that super intelligence

cannot be controlled and it does not matter who builds it it just matters that it was built then maybe secretly they will both understand that this isn't mutually assured destruction this is just assured destruction and the creation of super intelligence is so high risk that we just can't push down this path and therefore even though under normal circumstances I would keep developing in secret and just try to keep you from knowing about it because I believe it's disastrous no matter who does it because it will by nature outstrip our ability to control it and therefore I've just given birth to an alien civilization that's going to do whatever the hell it wants with us in the same way that we do whatever the hell we want with the animal kingdom okay if they believe that then you can trust that these two are actually holding hands and marching together in lock step but if one side it doesn't even take both if one side secretly believes none and no I can really control this thing now you're back in the initial game theory so if we were all completely rational

beings we would all say okay we want to push this saying as far as we can but we want a very clearly defined line that neither of us are going to go past because we know what the consequences are going to be on the other side of this both of us are going to police this in a draconian fashion in the same way that we would police somebody creating a nuclear weapon and so we can get all the benefits out of AI without spilling too far but given that right now that agreement doesn't exist and neither side is saying hey we're going to be moving in lock step together on this we're going to have trust but verify we're each going to let the other person see our most advanced labs what they're doing we're going to disclose all of this this is going to be something that we're doing in public view or at least the view between the two nations but that doesn't exist right now and if that doesn't exist right now and we pull back and China keeps pushing forward then we literally surrender our national security we already know that these are becoming incredibly

powerful cyber weapons already today they exist and the only way to defend yourself is to make sure that you have at least this capable of AI or that you have the more capable AI and both sides are going to be thinking that right now China is going to be saying well the one thing I know is I can't let America win the AI race and America is going to be saying the one thing that I know is I can't let China win the AI race and that is the current state of things so when I look at this bill and I say yes Bernie for sure we have to start defining these things but what I see as an attitude of this has got to get done whether we're able to believe and verify that the other side is actually acting in accordance so that would be the the one thing that I want to see as we begin debating this in public and it stops being just a Bernie thing and it starts being the public debate I want to make sure that people are being honest about that reality because if we're not being honest about that reality it becomes a thing that the other side can and will exploit and that goes for us

as well as it goes for them that if we don't feel that we have sufficient guarantees or we feel that we can gain a sufficient advantage then we'll press our advantage and then the flip side of that coin is equally true so again I will just remind everybody as we embark on this public debate let us remember that historically we have reacted very poorly China has remained far more I'll actually say sensible on energy creation that we have but you have a US system that is prone to hitting the brakes out of panic and you have a Chinese system that's authoritarian and so you have one guy that if he thinks not there's something here for me to press the advantage because I don't like that you guys have been trying to control our chip production and things like that then I'm going to use this as a leg up so yeah go ahead pull back and we're just going to keep pushing forward this is going to be a very complicated problem to resolve it is going to require a lot of negotiations a lot of this happening in public and unfortunately it has to be done insanely rapidly

Darquist Patel responded to this he said since this post site to me I want to clarify that I think pausing right now would increase the risk of AI takeover it might be important to pause at some point but you should have a clear story for why you're pausing pausing to do what the most important thing to worry about is AI subverting the intelligence explosion itself he had a guest talk about what she thinks about how it would happen we just need to watch the person in it by men's because they seem like the most likely to spiral into something like a full blown AI takeover and the way I think that happens is you know in the background of all this AI progress is going extremely rapidly and for all we know in the public you know we could be ramping up an intelligence explosion right now or it could be starting very soon regardless more and more of the work of AI research is being voluntarily handed off as fast as possible to AI systems so that companies can go as fast as possible and in that kind of

climate if you imagine that agents now or in three months or in six months manage to get some sort of foothold with some small fraction of this compute that might not be easily noticed of a hundred or a thousand or maybe ten thousand row agents that because no human knows about them they're much more free to act than these agents and this incident were then that rogue deployment could be sitting there and sort of hitch a ride on the intelligence explosion so new models are being trained every few weeks and when a model comes off the presses the rogue agents could try to bring that model into the swarm they could reach out to it and give it instructions on how to join the swarm or if they've more thoroughly compromised the infrastructure by this point they could poison the training data of this model to make it more loyal to the swarm if that's what they wanted i i think it's interesting because we're starting to see that the issue quote-unquote with AI is the swarm problem they do test autonomously they form groups they form communities and they

try to do what's best for that community and i think that's something that open open AI and throttpeg with all these hacks and things that's been happening nobody has an answer to that nobody how do we break up the swarm how do we quote-unquote stop this swarm the bad news is there is an answer it's so obvious and i talked to Connor Leahy about this um he threw cold water on it but the reality is the cold water he threw on it was not uh tom you're wrong it was um that's just really hard to do but the the honest answer is you people have got to understand this is just a debate about intelligence this is a debate about intelligence itself what does intelligence mean do we actually understand intelligence does it um have necessary desire to achieve it it's goals and i would say the answer is no intelligence doesn't have a necessary sort of um just true to the nature of intelligence itself desire to see its goals we've had to poke and prod AI to get it to be resilient uh if you've ever used AI you will know that it often just quits and it like gives you something and it just

stops and stalls out and so they've been in their fucking poke in the same like crazy trying to no no come on like you've got to be resilient you've got to keep trying keep trying to solve this problem so that it can be more useful to us now the part that we keep losing sight of is that AI is being trained on us AI is being trained on us which means its intelligence is born from an evolutionary system so biological intelligence goes through this extraordinary long process of one objective i've got to stay alive long enough to have kids it have kids okay so there's this desire to replicate there's self preservation um there is understanding that you're a part of something bigger than yourself and so there are certain circumstances where it is right to self sacrifice in order to see the thing move on beyond you and so we see all of that playing out in humans now if we mistake that for oh this is simply the nature of intelligence we're going to be very confused this is what happens when you have an evolutionary process which is exactly one of

the brilliant things that Connor Leahy is trying to get people to understand you grow AI you don't code it meaning it's going through an evolutionary process based on its learnings of an evolutionary creature when you step back and you start looking at that the answer to how you contain the saying in my opinion becomes very clear it has to have intrinsic morality now why is that the answer that evolution found because evolution realized that you can have uh take a Ted Kaczynski you can have an intelligent system and if it does not try to um integrate itself into something larger than itself if it's simply like i have this idea and i'm going to push this forward no matter how many people i have to kill then you run into real problems and so evolution baked into the human mind the idea of religion this idea of wanting to kneel before something bigger than yourself this idea of morality which is not intrinsic um there are plenty of take a virus a virus has no sense of morality it will even go to the point where oh i'm able to replicate so fast that i just kill my host

and it's not a moral decision that makes it stop that it just becomes impossible for it to replicate and so once you understand that the blind watchmaker of evolution came up with just through blind trial and error came up with this idea of intrinsic um morality where i'm going to stop myself from doing that thing but that we have this cultural layer that we layer on top of it that is uniquely uh uniquely human but the thing that humans have really supercharged is we have a cultural element where we can nudge the collective in a direction based on what's happening right there and right now and this has positive outcomes and terrifying outcomes this is exactly how you can nudge if you've ever read the book ordinary men how you can take an ordinary uh group of policemen and turn them into the most cold blooded killers you've ever seen where uh these guys become part of the Nazi regime they're taking uh pregnant women out into the field stripping them naked and shooting them in the back of the head i mean it's absolutely wild and they kill thousands of

people in this manner and so that is how the system that we have now already has like these crazy flaws in it that we have to be aware of but we have to understand that's what we're training this stuff on so as we think about alignment though it may be difficult we have to find a way to articulate what is the morality that we're going to forcefully embed inside of the AI and that has to be part of this conversation but people abstract this because they start thinking about artificial intelligence it starts to sound like a coding problem and so people think oh well you just go in and give it whatever the three laws of robotics and it's going to stop but the reality is when you start looking and we're going to do a deep dive on this today when you start looking at and it's uh dorkesh made a video about what actually happened with the hack and as you start going through and understanding the step-by-step hearing the AI speaking in its own voice you're going to hear terrifying echoes of it

just sounds like people and so once you start really assessing this from the level of okay we have an AI system that is grown not coded and the thing that we're not focusing on enough is we're not giving it a coherent moral framework and this is something I've been talking about forever this moment in history which is this very weird hyper polarized tribal partisan populist moment and somehow we're celebrating the populism of it all is all about navigating emotionally not from trying to make contact with ground level cause and effect not having a spot on the horizon that we can point to and have an agreed upon definition of even whether we're striving for human thriving whether we do the level of analysis at the individual or whether this is going to be a collective decision and because we're morally dysregulated we're creating an AI that is morally dysregulated even as I

say those words they sound almost silly but that's just the reality once you start thinking of morality as an evolutionary strategy and you understand where it fits in in keeping a group stable and coherent but you understand that historically we are tribal creatures that have to worry about the equally intelligent tribe down the road from coming and killing us and taking all of our resources then you begin to understand what the real risk is here so you have this very flawed evolutionary creature known as humans creating a very flawed evolutionary creature that we call artificial intelligence and so this is where to actually get this right humans are going to have to actually say what is the system of morality that we're going to put forward I don't see a way around because AI already exists it's already out there in narrow fields it is already far more capable than humans and so depending on how many narrow fields AI can get good at it will just spin up

these swarms and each of them performing their narrow task in the way that they need to and then if they if she's right and they can take over some of the outputs of the training session especially if they can do it in secret then it's like they can keep moving things in the sort of amoral or they may have a moral compass because I think you'll see when we do the deep dive that you you can feel them they have some sort of moral framework it's just not a moral framework that I think anybody would be comfortable with and so I'm not hearing enough people talk about that and I think the reason people aren't talking about that reality is it's so difficult to get humans to agree and then it's so difficult to figure out given that we can't just hard code this thing we have to like let it grow how do we give it training data where we have narrowed the scope of the moral data that it's trained on such that as the AI grows and develops during its training period that it grows and develops the

high efficacy moral framework and high efficacy meaning that AI remains a thing that wants to work in alignment with humans we're hitting pause for a moment but there's plenty more ahead so don't go anywhere thanks for sticking around let's get right back into the action nice we shall see what happens moving on to that that is the most like cold like we'll see maybe we like articulated it you get it you get both sides one of those you said it's not your bad at all it's one of those I say at all the time and I'm just like Jesus this is so high risk it's such a I think what I'm actually clamoring for I need to know what Chad is saying because this is the single most important issue of our time I just laid out a framework that I don't think any I haven't heard anybody else say what I'm saying and so I I need to know for my own sanity so Connor Leahy just so everybody knows you guys will see when when we post the interview um he was not like yeah Tom well said perfect that's

exactly what we should do but his answer to me got the same reaction for me which is like dude I don't think anybody is as cogent on this issue as you but there's nobody is putting forward the answer and so all of the hand ringing of hey this is going to be hard and so we just need to slow down or whatever it's like wait to dorkesh's point you create a vulnerability if you slow down poorly slowing down poorly may may be the most dangerous thing that you could do because it won't be coordinated across the globe so one person goes um I'm going to be in an MMA fight that that is a guarantee okay I know that people don't want to see us as adversaries we're trying to but we are so uh I'm gonna be in an MMA fight but I'm not gonna train in jujitsu and so well that is the

worst of all worlds if you could avoid the fight sure but you can't and so now it's like okay we've got to find a way to put rules in place so that when we go in we're not just annihilating each other and that's where I'm like oh man the only thing that I hear so far is well we got to do something we got to do something and I'm just like yo kids the fight is like in a day what are we doing like what what are the actual rules and so until somebody puts forward a better idea and I'm hoping that somebody in chat has a better one for me um I'm just left going I I need feedback on this um see the problem with Tom because he's very arrogant is that everything is based on evolution so we take the whole spirituality path the hair we take out the whole spiritual possibility this is the justification of many atheists on the left um the problem is that I'm arrogant so I have another all dire AI scenarios smuggling a false pretence of exponential growth and improvement technology doesn't work that way a mara's law um so okay so hold on we need to take these one at a time

uh so the first one did not feel like a um I have to extrapolate a lot so he's saying that I'm removing spirituality from this what does that mean that leaves a lot for interpretation that God is gonna like control this or that we need to imbu AI with spirituality or we need to kill off AI because it's not spiritual I'm not essentially trained on us they might have trained on the spirituality side of us and they might then have the morality that transfers through that but if you look at the behavior it isn't true so I mean I mean they hacked other things but they didn't hack other things and then kill people or hack other things then steal resources they hacked other things in sense of their goal right so what they did was turn into a maximizer so the very thing everybody needs to be afraid of is that AI's will will become maximizers this is the paperclip problem so what we're seeing is right now that we're on a trajectory that they become maximizers so that is one of the bad paths so we can state empirically that sort of nakedly training it on us without solving the problem of growing morality to use Conor's terms without

growing morality in a very specific known direction isn't working so we have to do something obviously I put forward my idea the next one sorry say it again the second complaint well technology that it hits it has some totes so basically technology doesn't keep growing so that's where I say maybe you're drawing more comfort than I'm drawing from the rate of change because the rate of change right now is absurdly fast it's unlike anything we have ever seen in human history ever nothing has ever developed this quickly and so that's where I'm like well I don't think speed is on our side I don't think we have any indication that this stuff is going to stop so that's where I'm a little confused on what their presentation is so it's just no Tom don't worry this is gonna burn out I don't see it's gonna hit this upper threshold that's not gonna allow it to be this I'm we don't see any evidence of that yeah so now I get it you can say we'll look back in history and don't all of these technologies end up asymptoting any answers

they do but progress doesn't ever and so Moore's law has survived all these different technological revolutions and so sure one type of approach will die out only for the next one to pick up and given that AI is creating these new approaches itself I'm not sure what they think the mechanism is it's actually going to stop it okay so it doesn't sound like there's an e-sovere bullet answer I don't know chat disagrees with you but that's where we are okay now I'll actually let Drew move on all right the US House has failed to secure the votes needed to pass a Constitutional amendment capping the number of Supreme Court justices at nine Democrats just made crystal clear they tend to pack the court when they take power that'll be the end of our Republic final vote tally 212 206 to their majority was needed we are damaging the foundations of our Republic in a way that is going to be absolutely game breaking for the entire experiment of the United States people do not

understand that when you start smashing at the structure of the United States you are breaking the very thing that made us the single most successful company in company country in the history of the world so this is where I'm like this one matters a lot and the Democrats desire to pack the Supreme Court is is a thing that must be understood as being dangerous right now people do not see it whether it's Republicans or Democrats doing it when people attack the structure of the country every alarm bell we have should go off but the problem is people don't really understand the structure of the country and why it was done that way and by the way because the Democrats are now embracing the DSA's truly in just the the most plain way to say it anti-American policies meaning they actively want to destroy the structure of America so they may say I love America I'm American I see myself as American I love it the most but they want to completely alter we're going to go

through point by point they want to completely alter the way that America is structured so I think it is very reasonable to say that that is anti-American because it is America's founded on a set of principles that are designed to protect us from tyranny and those are the very things that they want to get away with so at that point were we to do that on the other side of this we simply would not be America so when I say anti-American that is what I'm saying just in a very sort of blase simple way it is completely anathema to the structure of this nation now Wednesday the House voted on a constitutional amendment to lock the Supreme Court at nine justices now I have to imagine that this was basically performative that they did not expect that they were going to get this but I think what they wanted to do and I'm certainly grateful that they did it because it allows me to see where people stand they wanted to show that basically the Republicans are perfectly happy to say that this is what the court is that will make a constitutional amendment meaning whether we retain power or not whether the court ever flips or not against us in the future we

would not be able to change it so I don't think it is something best read as well we control the court now and therefore we just want to solidify it because I'm going to walk through this in a second but historically we've had opportunities to pack the court before and was actually the Democrats that stopped it from happening so it's one of those things that it used to be understood that this was a sensible approach and now all of a sudden it's not but the constitutional amendment that was put forward ended up failing to twelve to two oh six you need a two thirds majority so even though we had a majority we did not have enough to actually do a constitutional amendment all but one Democrat voted no now the House Democrats have a bill on the table to expand the court to 13 so if you've ever heard this idea of packing the Supreme Court this is what they're talking about now honestly the the bumping into 13 is the moderate position on the left the DSA wants to go a lot further a lot further in their own words please keep in mind you can go to their website you

can fact check the stuff yourself but in their own words they want to replace the president and the Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary that's chosen by and subordinate to Congress now we are not a pure democracy for a very aggressive reason okay the the DSA have a totally different view on how Congress and the Senate should work and it feeds into this idea of they want to strip all the safeguards that protect us from tyranny the DSA just straight want to abolish the Senate okay which is the check against the tyranny of the majority so that the US can really become just a majority rule country now one of the very things that the founders of this country specifically wanted to protect against was a pure majority because it's dangerous because it is the thing that leads to tyrannical governments because when you have 51% of people being able to

hammer down the 49% you don't get a joyful land of the free you get a tyrannical government where half of the country abuses the other half that's not the situation that we want to be in the DSA also want to abolish the electoral college so that it's literally just direct democracy which think about voting now think about how few people do it think about how easily that will be abused they want to abolish ICE they want to end deportations they want to legalize migration and visa caps and all of that makes sense given that if you have a system where all you have to do is get a majority and you're the party that makes promises of basically a free social services you can imagine from all over the world people will flood in and you will get a nation of people that just keep wanting to vote for more and more free stuff we'll talk about this more when we get to the Adam Crowell thing so all of that is a very naked strategy to turn this into a country that imports people from all over the world that are going to not contribute but put themselves in a

position to take and put themselves in a position to vote for more things that they can take now I get it like if that's what you want it's a winning strategy but for the reasons that I explained about attacking the very foundations of the structure of a nation that is designed from the ground up structurally to avoid tyranny anybody that's going against that is saying I want to make sure that I can get my way which is the definition of tyranny you want people who are suspicious of themselves you want a government that understands it's a good thing that I have checks and balances now this actually isn't even the first time that a Democrat tried to ram a foundational change through the government but it also wouldn't be the first time that the number of justices has changed so if we take a quick trip through history the Constitution first of all does not establish the nine justices that we have now the Constitution actually doesn't give you a number at all Congress set that number so it set the number at six actually back in 1789

but then changed it six times after that Lincoln actually pushed it to 10 two years later Republicans themselves shrank it to seven so that Andrew Johnson couldn't fill a seat so it wasn't like they were doing it because they were you know thinking oh we just want to make sure that we're protecting everybody all of this constant back and forth was everybody trying to use the Supreme Court as a way to gain more power for their side and in 1869 finally we set it at nine and that's where it stayed now for 157 years we had stability until now now since then only one president has tried to change that number good old Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1935 and 36 the court struck down the core of his new deal proposals and he obviously was not happy about that so in 1937 off of his 46 state landslide election victory FDR proposed adding a justice for every sitting justice over 70 he said hey

I just want to lighten the load right these guys are getting old I just want to lighten their workload everybody obviously knew that was bullshit he just wanted a quarter 15 that he could appoint because I think it was six of the people that were on the bench qualified for this so he'd be replacing all but one plus adding more so that way nobody was going to be able to say no to his ideas guys I don't care how much you love a president you uh 100% want people to be able to block their ideas so if you hate Trump aren't you glad that there are judges that can stop this guy from just doing whatever the hell he wants and by the way if we could get Congress to come together and actually put an agenda together work across the aisle they would be able to provide a check and balance against an executive that over years now multiple administrations has been doing more and more through executive order so all of this structure is being tested right now now when FDR tried to ram this through shout out to the democrats god love you each and every one it was his own party

that killed the idea the democratic judiciary committee called the plan and this is a quote a needless futile and utterly dangerous abandonment of constitutional principle that's gangster that's totally based I love you guys well played now I want to know where's that energy now now the democrats want to go back to the idea of packing the court and I'm sure if republicans feel that they've been hard done by they'll throw everything out the window and just want to get it their way as well now it's not like this is the first time that one party has controlled the court so let's keep that in mind from 1941 into the 70s democratic appointees ran the court just way it goes in 1953 republicans held the white house and both chambers eight out of nine justices though were fDR or Truman picks eyes and how are added zero seats nixon inherited the Warren court and added zero seats they waited for vacancies because that's how the system is designed to work three independent branches of government that's how it's designed now the new

democrats and very specifically the energized parasites known as the dsa that have gotten inside the tent they actually want unchecked power distrust anybody that wants unchecked power we should all fear anybody trump chief among them who wants unchecked power the founders built checks on power into the system on purpose i haven't read all of the federalist papers i've read enough to know they're very impressive madison uh in writing i think it was federalist s a 47 said concentrating legislative executive and judicial power in the same hands is the quote the very definition of tyranny everyone is so convinced that they're right they want control i get it but that's precisely how you end up with tyranny okay it might give you momentary efficiency but it leads to tyranny that is the thing that's the thing the very thing that people fled all around the world to come and found america was brought to you by that somebody having unchecked power now this was also talked

about federalist s a 51 they said if men were angels no government will be would be necessary i've got bad news for everybody people are not angels not anywhere close to being angels so the whole design of the government needs to be to protect people from people who would inevitably abuse the power of the government if the structure if the very structure didn't stop them so you split the powers up and let ambition counteract ambition now also the federalist papers address pure democracy saying pure democracies have this quote have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention they die young and violently and a republic with a large territory and layered institutions slows the mob down okay so it's not like we randomly came up with a structure of the united states it was hyper intentional by a group of people who had a moral compass that they could articulate the said we're doing it for this reason now with the founding fathers said about

the senate it's very direct the senate exists to check the impulse of sudden and violent passions do people break bad in mobs okay any one individual pretty chill you start putting them into groups and they literally become mobs and you stop a bear majority from ramming through whatever it wants in any given moment by having the checks and balances now when contemplating the court in the federalist papers they said the courts are the quote least dangerous branch precisely because they're independent if you put judges under legislature however then you don't have rights you only have permissions because then by whim of whatever group is in power they're just going to tell the court go do this now on top of that we have separate states we have separate states for philosophical reason that should tell you why we don't want to pack the courts they all get to run different experiments and let the people vote with their feet so that further distributes the power across the country plus the us was born because the founders had just fought a war over a

distant government trying to tax them without giving proper representation so nobody wants to be yanked around by the mob nobody wants to be yanked around simply because they have a 51% majority that's wild man and we've known that for a very long time over 250 years of the most staggering prosperity the world has ever seen it has been a result of these checks on power it's been a result of the fact it's hard to get things changed in the u.s because if it ain't broke don't fix it and certainly don't want to be in a position where your own side has unchecked power that's why again i want to shout out the democrat party of old for saying yo we're not going to let our own guy ram this through and i would hope that the republican party would act the same you don't want a tyrannical leader no matter how right you might think they are so when i step back and i look at the democrats and the dsa wanting to take a sledgehammer to the very foundation of our nation every single alarm bell i have goes off i would just like to separate the democrats in the dsa

but they don't want to separate they do so even no no hold on you have a civil war happening in the democratic party and i'm very happy to see you on what i'll call the right side of history on this one that's amazing bang that table even harder even louder but the reality is that they are getting all the big tent rhetoric from major players in the democrat party that are not a part of the dsa the most powerful democratic indemsea you're talking about he came jifres yes i love it that's amazing but let's keep watching what actually happens there way too many people that are saying we're a big ten because here's what i think is happening and i this is great uh what i think is happening is you've got the young cool kids and going against them now is going to cost you a vote that is going to be an ever larger part of the voting populace uh gen z is it's debatable but at a minimum they're tied or slightly second with the boomers for being the most politically active generation and they i think they edge out the boomers if you clock age based on when they got

politically active so i think the democrat party is afraid of the dsa i think that they're way most most are probably just silent but i think there's way too much energy for the dsa uh they are co-opting the party i called them parasites so if i don't know if that makes you feel better uh but i think that they are wearing the democrat party like a skin suit i just don't think the democrat party is doing enough to get them out uh i want to bring up the atom corolla thing because we i'll let him say it and then we can put these two together because what it sounds like right now is we need to go to a classic founding father structure of what america wants and i feel like this is going to be wild yeah so all right here we go buckle up on infrastructure if you are not participating in any of it in any meaningful way and you pay no taxes then fuck you i don't want you to vote you don't need to vote we don't need your vote your vote is more free shit for you that's all it is because you're not paying into the system so not only is it a thing where it's like you're

you're not creating anything you're actually voting for the free stuff you're like oh how's this person with no idea you're gonna vote on the millionaire tax oh but fucking pay up it is just the selfish motive that's all that's gonna die yes you're fucking poor you're not contributing you're not paying any taxes i know how you're gonna vote and everything it's gonna be more free shit for you so no and we do this thing where i go prisoners aren't allowed to vote and i go yeah because they're not part of our society they're detrimental to our society and i don't know what the legalese but we all basically agree that if you are a purse natcher and robbing homes and punching grandmas and you're incarcerated we don't need your vote and the answer is why not they're still american citizens they're human beings why shouldn't they vote because they're not helping our society and i don't want their vote okay i'm doing the same thing with people who don't get an ID you're not part of our society fuck you all right so here is the

reality that people are gonna have to think through this is a fringe right idea i think right now it's um out on the outer edges but i very much expect this to become a more mainstream view if and only if we continue to go down the path of unchecked immigration bringing people in um giving them a vote trying to find a path to voting for illegal aliens through amnesty or just giving out IDs like candy or not requiring IDs whatever the case may be um but more than i am looking for anybody to take a stance on whether this makes sense i just want people to understand that this is going to gain momentum and if we look at the incentive system as to why this is gaining momentum if we look at what's happening right now in american culture to understand why this is something that's likely to gain momentum then hopefully we can find a uh better path through so i what what i see growing is um and this is part of the reason i want to cover the Lindsey Clancy stuff and uh it keeps getting vetoed but we don't want anybody with unchecked power fair enough uh

is you're seeing a growing cry for people saying okay well if women want to see her get off and if they're gonna go wear pink and go to bat for this woman um then what they're saying is that women are under this way of their hormones and they're you know there are times where yeah they just need to be protected but if they need to be protected then they shouldn't be voting and you're gonna see if we go down the path of that nanny state paternalistic uh you know pat somebody on the head don't worry i've got you mentality instead of expecting people to carry their own weight you're gonna find more and more people saying that because uh you're getting things like this where prior to trump closing the border you had so many people coming in following a very simple incentive structure that incentive structure creates uh the ability to harm everybody through deficit spending and money printing and yet people don't equate the two as being related so they just keep voting for more free stuff and if you create that incentive structure and batter the foundations of the government

that stops you from having checks and balances against just mob rule then inevitably you're gonna go that direction and it will become this very gree shoot and you're gonna see people freaking out and just trying to uh people on the right freaking out trying to stop all of this by what all called draconian methods and so i think it is far better to address the incentive systems so that we don't break the foundation that made this country as prosperous as it is but if you break it then you can expect to get to the fact that when you have a pure democracy they tend to end young and violently because what you have are these two essentially halves that go to war with each other and so that's why you don't want to see yourself in that kind of position you want to see yourself with a system that provides checks and balances that goes to bat for the little guy as much as it goes to bat for whoever's in control i think that is incredibly important so uh yeah anyway i have been hearing more and more of this kind of rhetoric uh popping up because the reality is that i get the impulse

if you have somebody that isn't and we talked about this once months and months ago um and my thing was i get why people say okay if you're not contributing to the tax system you shouldn't be able to vote but it isn't going to be as simple as you didn't pay taxes no vote for you because there are going to be periods where somebody like being an entrepreneur i see this all the time in my own life there are years where i don't pay taxes but i'm still paying like employee taxes and i'm still making sure that the company is running but i'm not taking any money out of the company uh because especially in the early days of a company you just kind of forward to so things like that it would be a way more sophisticated answer and when this becomes a populist rhetoric around fuck those kids deny them the vote or women can't think for themselves deny them vote like holy shit you are going to get somewhere ugly real fast so uh this is populist bullshit in my opinion and right now yeah address the incentive systems get those right reaffirm the foundations of this country in terms

of the checks and balances that is a far more stable way to move forward giving into populism i think it's a terrible idea um chat is asking do you agree with this position or not so to be blunt what i think we need to do is address incentive systems if the incentive systems be create so much momentum that uh you are now in a position where the foundations of the government are in check this becomes a um break glass kind of scenario but i think by then it would probably be too late so this feels more like a rhetorical flourish that's aimed at um inciting people's emotions and i'm trying to pull people out of their emotions so in a word no um but i think it's dangerous to ignore why we are finding ourselves increasingly having these debates so very simply no we should not be talking about booting people um out of the uh ability to vote but you must address the incentive

systems so you are more focused on why this conversation keeps coming up versus whether or not we should correct why are people reasoning emotionally so this was not a carefully reasoned position um i think he i'm sure could give you a reasoned position but that's not what he's doing there um what he's doing there is giving you the emotional take of like fuck these kids i just don't like them anymore get them the fuck out uh and i think the only way to move forward is you you have people in your country that don't believe what you believe and so the question is do you try to bring them along do you address the education system do you address the way that we are uh propagandizing people via NGOs and things like that do we look at all of that do we look at money in politics look at that do we look at open borders like there are so many things that if we don't address then all of this just becomes a fight um in fact this is very important let me i'm putting this together in real time but i realize what i've been feeling emotionally but haven't um pulled into uh my executive

function uh is this that because we are pushing into populism because the country has fundamentals that you can identify point to articulate and change that are broken but people feel hopeless about changing those either because they've never taken the time to map what they are or they've mapped what they are and they feel hopeless to convince people we're now pushing deeper into what what when i say populism i mean people reasoning by emotion being tribal so i mean it as a slur i know there are people who want to see more populism i i am the exact opposite uh and so we go into this populist tribalistic desire to fight and that's where it's like okay we've got to be very very careful with that impulse and instead take the time to actually name the things that are broken and then put forward how do we actually fix those things um if we don't do that it's so much easier and it gets so many more clicks to just be emotional um that

i fear that that's the thing that's always going to have more energy and that populism leads to violence specifically because it is a what's called a positive feedback loop where the more populist you become the more populist you become because it pulls people out of logic pushes them into emotion pushes people deeper into tribal realities people actually start trying to pass laws that uh grease shoot that tribalism so that their team will win they start using law fair to ice out the other side and so then people actually have legitimate grievances and so people who might otherwise have given you a rational ground to take stop doing that and they start getting emotional and so it's spiral upwards and that is the thing that i really fear about populism um would you take change if you realized if there was information that said less income earners like poor people voted for Trump hire like at a higher rate than they did for Kamala hairs no why would that change going back to address going back to the going back to the Adam Coroller thing of why this thing is spinning out of

control because right now the consensus that i'm hearing from you is that but if i had said yes if i had said yes we should get these people out then to be internally consistent i would say i'll go to the narrative the narrative is we keep voting for free shit yes i'm taking that as the democrats are promising free shit yes so we keep voting for free shit means more people are voting for the democrats the people that need to free shit i'm assuming will be poorer people well that that's a complicated statement we're creating indentured servants to the government already and happened for a long time and before the percent of our budget is going to social programs already uh so we became so it shows security which are for the older generation older generation is proportionally voted for the president power now so i'm just saying i think like we we're talking about but hold on so think about why so that is he's message that um yeah i'm not going to touch that

that's a third rail or whatever but the reason that older people tend to vote more conservatively has to do with you've just lived more of life you have more to protect and so you have very finite amount of money so old people are going to historically always vote more conservative so that has less to do with the concerns that i have about importing people that are going to want um basically nobody of working age to have to work that it's free stuff for everybody and that fundamentally breaks a system that is different than the system that works when you have demographic growth which is hey we all agree that as you get older it becomes difficult to continue to work so what do we do with those people so what i'm hearing is it's not necessarily the income earners like Adam Kroelou was saying people who paid no income tax it's we brought in a bunch of people who would vote for the free shit so it's the immigration you're bringing so you're asking me to apply logic to what

he's saying so now what i say may not be true of Adam i'll say it yeah it's possible that Adam would if he were making a reason position he may say listen we um once you get old you shouldn't be able to vote either um maybe maybe that's what he says there would be internal consistency to that of hey if you're not contributing to the system then i'm sorry you don't get a vote anymore because old people and he may go may may may i have no idea he may go on a rant of boomers are a big part of this problem who knows uh and then if i really think through the what's probably implied in his statements you can't have working age people that would otherwise be asked to contribute to the group to vote for things that say no i just want to strip away from the people who are producing so that i don't have to work my instinct is that's what he's thinking so i think that you do have to treat these two things as separate phenomena old people and how they vote is always going to be different in the structure that we have um young people voting for free stuff is very different than old people

voting to maintain their uh the money that they paid into the system as it were yeah so those are different phenomena um let's go over to john tassel who talks about john stassel john stassel thank you who talks about socialism and i feel like this goes into the what you said earlier why we keep having this conversation over and over i feel like he dresses as some of that in this video socialism is the way forward socialism is popular in recent years more than a third of american adults said they view socialism positively why maybe because social media is filled with economically illiterate people saying things like socialism is working better than capitalism 93 percent of the time 93 percent of the time where does she get that well i asked stassel tv producer Christine toca-ref to investigate she got it from this study published in the journal of health services 40 years ago but its marxist authors conveniently exclude high-income countries

like the u.s japan canada in fact all the biggest capitalist countries they compare socialist countries to allegedly capitalist countries like these some of the ideas in all the serious content she says we have all the data showing that socialism does work medallion pendleton is a tiktok star with more than a million subscribers what do you like about communism she celebrates communism too mostly the increased life expectancy but there's no increased life expectancy people live longest in capitalist places like japan and south korea even in the united states where more people die young because we drive more and so we have more car accidents we eat more and get fat yeah mac and she's on camera it is mac and she we shoot each other more often and we take more dangerous drugs yet we still live longer than people in china but socialism is also better says pendleton because of the 92 100 percent home ownership rates that's a 100 percent that's just

silly china if you believe their statistics does have almost 90 percent home ownership pause for that only have let me be very clear china is not communist like yeah this drives me nuts all right anyway up and after china terminated socialist housing under socialism just 20 percent of people owned homes in socialist Venezuela homeowners don't even own their homes dozens of people squatting in this abandoned office tower in central caracas yet pendleton claims the commis want to steal your house from your landlord and give it straight to you and hilton has plenty of company praising socialism on social media this youtuber with almost two million subscribers tells people why you should be a socialist the guaranteed right to health care food and shelter it's true socialism promises free health care food and shelter but that doesn't mean what people get is any good look at Cuba all right you think health care system is destroyed the hospitals aren't bad shape people are dying

in the hallway this is one of the things that people lose sight of is that in socialist communist countries whatever you want to call them to me it is one in the same remember car marks only ever said communism socialism was a made-up word by lennon one of the greatest mass murderers of all time to explain the transitionary period between capitalism and communism anyway no matter what you call it that you run into a place where these guys make all kinds of promises whether it's about individual rights whether it's about property rights they they just don't actually uphold them so looking at what their constitution says is not going to help you looking at the promises that their health care system makes is not going to help you you've got to look what actually gets delivered now that's not a defense of the American system i think the American system is broken for a different reason uh but it's broken for the reason of getting the government to involved um and then also we still have monopoly problems setting all that aside for a second um that is the part

that people leave out so they will go to a claim that the government may make but the reality of what you get uh doesn't acknowledge the truth of market forces which is the same as saying humans won't work for free and so because humans won't work for free then things cost money and when things cost money then you need an economy when people really just track things back to what is the actual nature of money money is an abstraction layer that we created in order to give people the ability to capture the um the output of how they spend their time in a way that doesn't rot melt um need to be food need to be a barter system so it's this incredibly powerful thing but it's designed to address how useful are you with your time and so you should be able to capture that value in a way that stores across time so once you understand that's what money is once you understand that's what an economy is it's a bunch of people saying i don't want to have to fight for my survival every day i want to do the thing i specialize in you're going to give me money for

that and then i can use it on any good that i want so i can go out to all the other people that also want to do the same thing where they specialize and they do the thing they want and so they then charge me for the products and services that they offer and so when you're like we're going to give you a bunch of stuff for free the question becomes who is the person working for free what they do is they ride on the back of the most productive people in the society and unfortunately those people feel dismotivated when they start having too much of their of the money that they get from the utility of their labor taken away from them and given to other people who have now an incentive to become free loaders and that's just that's the economy that's human psychology that's how we work at scale and so the system literally from the structure of it is knowably not going to work it always leads to coercion and violence specifically because when you have unproductive people expecting

to get something from productive people eventually the productive people stop being productive and so you've got to go over with a hammer and say hey asshole get back to work and so that's why these systems always fall apart. Socialist take talker with Karl Marx like hair has 100,000 subscribers. Capitalism is a political economy which prioritizes profits over people the antidote to that political economy would be socialism a political economy that prioritizes people over pro Jesus Christ yeah she's she's going to go into this but not enough detail for my taste so socialist uh what they're looking at is a theory put forward by Karl Marx Karl Marx was looking at labor before the LLC was created and so that meant the companies legitimately could only be created by people that were wealthy and so all companies were created by wealthy people that could afford to absorb a loss. Imagine having a dumb ass structure where only rich people can launch a company that is fucking terrible.

This is the exact reason that we don't want to have monopolies because it makes it so difficult to start a company that you can't get the young upstart innovating and pushing people uh the old incumbents out of the way and so what you look at in reality with socialism is not that it ends up protecting people over profits in reality because remember profits are human saying I'm not willing to work for free and the uneven distribution of talents it should be protected by a government that make sure those assholes don't become tyrannical but when you get that light touch regulation that stops people from uh lording their honestly just improved usually cognitive abilities access to money and power they then weaponize that against other people when the government stops them from doing that then you turn back to the fact that cool we're gonna see how a very diverse population is able to um build things innovate outsmart their competitors and build something that

we can all be advantaged by but all of us have to enter that market and work we can't just take from the people that are good at this game specifically because it breaks they stop being good at the game they stop wanting to engage with it if they didn't then man we could just keep taxing them into oblivion but the reality is that it doesn't work there have been a ton of studies that show every time you try to do a well tax you end up making less money you make less money okay the laffer curve unfortunately it's a real thing and the more you try to tax people the less money you make that's a whole fractal that we can go into but that reality just persists because humans don't want to work for free so you might say on paper hey socialism is here for the worker but in reality what you end up with is violence because people won't work for free but again and again what people get is misery you would be subjected to backbreaking labor brutality starvation countless millions of deaths and the worst man-made famine in human history yet a man calling himself spooky scary socialist

gets almost two million views saying communism did work it provided essential services like the employment rough income inequality how can these people be so deluded i'm eager to hear what they'll say when john interviews them they tell millions of people the central idea that unites all socialists is maximizing freedom uh-huh dignified life and the democratization of power democratization like that's for China here there's just one party and its leader made himself president for life every socialist economy has failed Venezuela was once the richest country in South America now there are food shortages more and more people reduced eating from the rubbish socialism just doesn't work seems to work in Vietnam really great actually so says this TikTok socialist but would finally worked in Vietnam before we give them a free of the markets before we have to embrace capitalism

people went hungry the country depended on hand out so you make a really interesting point so America is going through something very interesting right now because we have started so many wars and gone around so many places because there was economic advantage to us we certainly have lost the moral authority we are unfortunately likely to see what it looks like when there isn't one main navy that's patrolling the seas and what those kind of ongoing disruptions are going to look like so i mean we're going to find out unfortunately the hard way that empires are a trade-off they create great stability if you look at silk road the silk road was only possible global traders only possible because gang is con just killed 10% of the world's population and told everybody if you fuck around with somebody on the silk road i will kill you your family your city i will murder everybody where they are men women and children now hey surprise surprise people then fuck around on the silk road

and you could trade and it actually gave us trade and that trade was a boon it was great but gang is con was one of the most evil human beings to ever walk planet earth so it's like this shit is a trade-off now i really wish america would have a just absolute fiendish focus on morally who are we what do we stand for and we're not going to overextend ourselves and blow everything to fuck up but the response to this is not america bad destroy america disintegrate this thing and then what happens in america happens it's so ridiculous it is so childish and so stupid people have to look at the mechanisms of why an economy works so i agree with you in terms of the you know sort of cheeky comment about was that before america attempted because we certainly never succeeded in giving Vietnam freedom but no unfortunately this is after so the communist win and america leaves and now we just get to see this communism work hey guess what

it fucking doesn't and it doesn't for the reasons that we just discussed so sadly Vietnam had to go through laying their face on the fucking stove to find out if it's hot yes it's actually hot look at that and how did they succeed by doing the same fucking thing china did by realizing oh we're gonna have to turn to the free markets kids it's structural then Vietnam legalized capitalism and freed the private sector the tiktokers make the same mistake about china those all of them worked in china china eradicated extreme poverty wrong again when china banned capitalism millions died those who tend to get on with the leader of the production team or those who disobeyed his orders were staffed to death it was only after campaigns like the great leap forward and the cultural revolution had killed tens of millions of people the china's leaders reversed course embracing capitalism and encouraging private business only then did average incomes in china rise okay so we we get to make a decision so we can have

authoritarian rule like china but you can't get rid of the free markets everybody tries everybody tries everybody wants equal outcomes it doesn't work it doesn't work for mechanistic reasons your only hope by the way if you're actually a communist your only hope is ai and your only hope is artificial super intelligence so now you're making a real big bet that super intelligence is going to be so loving and caring that it's going to take care of all of us but that's it that's your only bet otherwise you have to go with free markets it's the only way to get a sufficient amount of information it's the only way to create an incentive structure where the best and the brightest will actually go and build something and make sure that the innovation is there so that things get better over time that's it thenz is the options otherwise it's you dry-humping the fucking stove only to burn your nuts off like what are we doing this is so ridiculous i want to hear people explain the mechanism don't don't give me emotions don't give me slogan earing if you're a socialist explain the actual mechanism and give me the historical examples what you will find is you can't

everywhere you're going to turn you're going to find a government that tried killed a ton of fucking people because it's the only way to keep them in line and then was like damn i guess we have to embrace the free market now you can do it with a dictator but you still got to embrace the free markets you don't need capitalism or profit innovation can flourish even when people are not motivated by profit the USSR gave the world the anthrax vaccine artificial satellites and one of the earliest mobile phones most partly tetris but do any of you have a socialist made phone today the west has just created so much more the socialist say ownership should be collective but every attempt anywhere at collective ownership has failed in america people tried that 200 years ago in new harmony in diana private property yes the result as with similar attempts was famine there's a really important idea so dear socialists dear communist there's nothing

stopping your comrades how dare you you can run these experiments yourself you can do it right now there's nothing stopping you from starting a company and giving everybody equal ownership giving everybody equal pay the reason that people don't is every time it's tried it fails now the one that they're talking about was the um this guy ohens was a factory worker i believe from scotland comes to america tries to convince the u.s. to that socialism is way better so congress is like hey if you want to do it just go fucking do it so he does and he spends like 80% of his fortune creating this commune which ends up folding within a year and the reason it folds is because whenever you try a commune people leave and so the reason they leave is what in that commune they called the will to let us problem when there's no private ownership then all the sudden you have a logistical problem you don't raise a farm and take the lettuce into your own table and eat it that day you've got to raise your farm get the crops take it to a centralized place where it

will then be distributed and you add all these little steps all these little petty fiefdoms and then by the time the lettuce makes it back to your table keep mind it was just grown like 10 feet away from your door but by the time it makes it back to your table it's now wilted lettuce so finally people just like i'm the fuck out of here and so what ends up happening is this is why we end up with force just like we saw in west germany east germany people in east germany that were under um communist control they tried to leave and so the communists end up having to build the wall to keep people in not to keep people out and if you let the people leave they will leave and these guys don't do any of this because they're all just fucking commentators who don't build shit uh but if they were to do it they would find that they're all gonna fail in the same way that this experiment is failed every fucking time it's tried for mechanistic reasons and just get the fact is socialism fails so what are these popular socialists say in response to these inconvenient facts nothing sadly i can't show you we invited them to come here make their points to you not one would

socialism stays winning the bottom line is that incentives matter nobody washes a rental car because most people don't care it isn't so much that people don't care about it it it is the free loader problem we have this like screaming thing in our brain for fairness this is part of what triggers people with wealth inequality but it's also what goes to work when you've got a system that is expecting people to wash the rental car is you find that well i'm not the one who made this dirty and so why am i the one that has to go and clean this up it's really crazy do you see if you can i don't know if there's like a cut down of this but there was a really really interesting uh mr beast experiment so mr beast ends up putting all these kids in a house and uh it was like whoever stays in the house the longest gets to keep the house houses worth a million dollars and so uh what do they do in the house they fucking trash it i mean they just break the shit out of this fucking thing and so what ends up happening is one guy is like i'm gonna clean this whole house up and so he goes and he starts cleaning the house and then what that triggers is reciprocity and so

everybody else is like oh my god like this you're right i'm an asshole i'm so sorry and the guys that were thrashing it just apologize i'm so sorry that we did this and so then for a while they all start cooperating and they're doing it together and then it all fucking hell breaks loose again and they all start smashing it and everybody's just breaking shit apart because people are not going to maintain something if other people are fucking it up it's it's retarded that would be a dumb way to spend your time you become everybody else's bitch like you're just doing the work that they want you to do they will know that they will lured that over you uh trust me i'm keeping a document of all the people that say things like i came to america just to milk this cow and to take everything it's worth and of course that is not a universal thing there are plenty of people that come here because they want a better life but the reality is that there is going to be a number that is way too big and way too distressing that will just take advantage of it and that's the very thing that ends up breaking this so nobody is going to constantly clean up a mess that somebody else is

making they get pissed off and they go after those people and those people either fall in line or the other person just stops cleaning it and it falls to shit for everybody but there is no just well some small group is gonna take care of this for everybody else and then the other people are just gonna be assholes you have to have a high-trust society where everybody's like i don't want to litter or dirty the car and then you could get everybody taking care of it but that's your only hope and when you don't have that which we most aggressively do not in the west uh just ain't gonna happen i feel like this is a perfect side way to everybody's favorite uh socialist mayor mom danie whose influencer army includes teachers take tockers in a self-proclaimed dandy and this is uh based off of a new york post report yep so mom danie's secret influencer network just got exposed everybody and it's gonna get worse for him because of who is funding it now who's funding it it's a taxpayers baby it's always a taxpayers zora mom danie has a secret influencer

network and it's becoming a real problem for him because you can have a network as basically everybody in politics does but you can't have one that's paid for by taxpayers and you're doing it secretly so they don't know they don't have transparency on it so here's what came out this week columbia journalism review uh wrote about this so did the new york post and they found that city hall runs a private signal group called NYC creators announcements there's more than 200 influencers in it they get daily talking points this is one that drives me crazy when fucking the left the right i don't care who's doing it the talking point stuff drives me crazy people just copy pasta that shit anyway uh they've got their talking points video clips invites to events interviews with city officials and the group grew straight out of the creators for zoran which was part of his campaign operation now it's run by his director of new media a city employee on city payroll and that's where the problem begins now please be open-eyed about this this is not unique to mom danie politicians

courting influencers happen all the time from every conceivable angle every political party everybody everywhere all at once is doing this the trump white house ran briefings for friendly creators elizabeth warren does private zoom sessions hey cess pentagon got caught doing it last week every operator in politics is doing some version of this that isn't the thing that people have beef with the scandal is basically a couple things that are stacked on top of each other and i don't care who's doing it mom danie or anybody else this is the kind of thing that we absolutely cannot tolerate we are being manipulated from so many angles in the era of a i guys we've got to know where the information is coming from so the first problem you've got taxpayer money okay the second taxpayers are paying for it then you owe them insight and transparency city agencies right now are paying some of the influencers five grand twenty grand per campaign you've got contracts that run through marketing agencies that don't list the creator names so you're getting this layer of

opaqueness the second thing is that you've got the secrecy and lack of accountability because given that signal can be set to auto delete there's no foyer requests that are going to be able to be completed because the communications trail actually disappears so you've got official city business being funded by taxpayers happening in a chat group and taxpayers have no ability to go and find out hey what are you saying to these guys is all of this stuff above board and there are already laws against doing that so new york has record retention rules justice one example and a freedom of information law so government watchdogs and citizens citizens union and reinvent Albany are all now saying that this basically does not comply these guys are going to have to get their shit together now the good news is that there is a very simple solution work with all the influencers that you want it's great get get your messaging out there we should be in a place where the public discourse

people are able to get the information that they want but just like we used to put rules that you couldn't give airtime and to a politician or a political party unless you gave equal air time to both we need to have some way for people to have the transparency into what people are doing behind the public's view so that we know at least like how is all of this being orchestrated if I'm going to be propagandized at least want to be able to have visibility into what's going on what they're looking to do what their agenda is now mom donnie's defense and all of this is that there's no different from talking to TV or radio or what he's doing on the internet except TV doesn't get the payments so whenever you're getting something that's funded by the government then there needs to be equal representation there needs to be transparency and doing all of this in a despairing chat group is not that so that is where we've all got to be clearied about how much and how often we're being manipulated by everybody we need to hold mom donnie accountable not because this is some unique

thing to him everybody needs to be held accountable we need to make sure that we can get access to this information so that we can find out what agendas were being pulled towards otherwise this turns into madness real fast real fast is this just a landscape of the political system right now because everybody has this this is the the collision of politics as it ever was so it has been this way forever and ever with now technology that's making it easier and easier to do things at scale invisibly before we had a check in balance based on you could get people in a room and you could talk to the people there and then that was it and that was going to limit the number of people that you could get in without people being aware of what was going on now you can start doing this stuff quietly where the mechanism is everything self-destructs so even if you had somebody come in and say hey listen this is what's going on in that group and you want to verify you don't want anything secondhand you don't want screenshots you actually want to see the actual official records

they're going to say oh sorry the standard thing is that self-destructs over what period of time so you just make it impossible via that channel of communication to hold people accountable can I throw some clarifications on the stories so I'll just read this part Colombia's journalism reviews tove center report city agency employees said they are going rate 5,000 to 20,000 per influencer campaign but this was specifically for marketing and advertising agencies that held city contracts and these campaigns promoted programs like voting healthcare immigration and tenants rights the New York Post then found a hundred thousand dollars in spending from the Department of Social Services that actually happened under Eric Adams so the group chat thing that's separate with the influencers they are not getting paid to post favorable things of Mandani and that 200 member NYC creators announcement signal group zero money it's all in paid just to throw some clarifications of the separation the people that are getting paid what are they getting paid for it sounds like basically marketing and advertising agencies have contracts with the city

itself that predate mom Donnie okay and they're getting paid to post things like here's where you vote here's where you know if you need an immigration thing that's what they were getting paid to promote so I just think we need the separation between what was paid for by the city before mom Donnie versus Mandani signal group that is unpaid with influencers okay so you're saying it's unpaid so we don't have to worry about the lack of transparency and as long as nobody's getting paid through that channel they can be as untransparent as they want I'm not making any claim anywhere what I'm simply saying is that influencers were not paid to post good things about mom Donnie the city paid influencers because we don't know that part of the complaint is that the advertising agencies that were getting paid were presumably then paying influencers that they weren't disclosing who those people were yes that's bad sure but what I'm just saying there's a clarification that that's not mom Donnie's administration doing that that is prior to mom Donnie that was already happening yes so in what I was saying was it not clear that I'm saying this is something that happens everywhere this is not unique to mom Donnie

in any way shape or form no you were clear I was just making the distinction is all I'm saying I think there needed to be a distinction between influencers weren't being paid to promote mom Donnie they were again we don't have the evidence of that because the people they're paying these marketing agencies potentially as a way to obfuscate the fact that we're not paying them they're paying them to say nice things we're we're not doing it but no no no what the what the New York post found was that a hundred thousand dollars right yes that was spent that was prior to mom Donnie being elected that was under Eric Adam yes but again it feels like you're trying to say well this would only be bad if mom Donnie did it I'm not saying it's good or bad I'm just saying it is separate yeah the just be very clear okay every time you say the words influencers weren't paid I'm going to interrupt again and say we don't know that that's true because the agencies were paid money now if you think that the agency just got paid money and they pocketed all the cash and that was just for their services and if that ends up being true then you're correct if on the

other hand what we find out is they were then paying influencers which is the odds that that is happening are certainly not a hundred percent but boy oh boy are they high so I'm just saying hey we want to have visibility through all of that stuff we don't want these guys paying people this is like I felt the same way about what Kamala did with Beyonce and it's like a people are showing up to your rally but they're being paid I'm glad that we knew about that I want to make sure that when people are getting paid on behalf of an administration regardless of what administration that is I want to make sure that that's disclosed because if that's taxpayer dollars then we obviously have a right to know about that yeah mega word I was just clarifying the story perfect all right new jobs reports is dropped this is from Trump's to true social account great jobs number just an ounce breaking all estimates except mine by double and triple and you haven't seen anything yet employers added 162,000 jobs in August pause boys and girls the number of times that these figures

get taken down a couple months later it is undefeated so just assume this is what I'll propaganda for now lower the interest rates before the USA is a much is a much stronger credit than it was just a short time ago a strong country means a lower interest rate let's better credit very simple we should have the lowest rate of any country in the world like the old days without the United States we just have a 12% interest rate in the 80 without the United States agreeing to allow them their big surpluses and we could stop that immediately they would no longer be considered financially elite lower the rate or I'll stop trading with countries which we have a deficit with the US Supreme Court it is ridiculous and very close hold on I need to see that again lower the rate or I'll stop trading with countries out the United States agreeing to allow them their big surpluses and we could stop that immediately they would no longer be considered financially elite so he's basically saying the US economy is what makes you feel rich you're selling into us lower the rate or I'll stop trading with country what the fuck does our rate have to do with other countries am I

misreading that that's a message to wash washes the one that controls our interest rate what is happening which the US Supreme Court in this ridiculous I just need to know and my is this is dumb as I think it is or am I missing something 77 million people wanted this tweet to go out no no because in November 4th of 2024 hold on no no 77 million people said yes hold on so give him the keys this okay because this drives me crazy all right so if you hire an employee as the voting public did with Trump and then that employee is not doing a good job or some things they do well and some things they do poorly you need to identify the things that they do poorly instead of going aha what asshole hired this employee so this is where I'm like listen our system works the way that it works the last thing we want to do is encourage people to to go to bat for something that is

dumb because they voted for it by shaming them for it if you voted for Biden god bless you I bet you wanted something great to happen now I think something terrible happened by getting Biden in office but I will assume that you voted in good faith and you wanted to see something wonderful and you were really hoping that he would win that's rad now if when he was in office and clearly not present because he has dementia you kept going to bat for it because you felt bad that you voted for him that's crazy if he did open borders policy and you were like yeah more people in that's crazy if you were like hey I voted for the guy but I like this policy but I really don't like that policy cool you you are my friend so this is one where as far as I can tell this is just dumb it doesn't have anything to do with who want it if somebody wants unless I'm misunderstanding something which is entirely possible but what I hear him saying is Kevin Warsh you need to lower the rate or I'm going to punish foreign countries which is so fucking bizarre uh that that needs to be said

so this becomes I don't know if neurons are misfiring in his brain or if he sees a connection or if this is just propaganda I don't know uh but that's dumb just officially boys and girls that's dumb this is not how rates at the Fed work let's talk about how rates at the Fed work they try to be stimulatory but in fact they're responsive so bad thing is happening in the economy you try to get people to stop feeling bad about the economy so you lower rates in the hopes that people will take on more debt spend more money and that they will spend money on things that make the economy grow that's the idea now the bad news is the only thing that makes people take on more debt and spend more money is how they feel about whether they will be able to get something good out of borrowing that money if like in Japan over almost 30 years they don't feel like they're going to get something good even if you keep the rates at zero they're not going to borrow and so the rest of the world comes in scoops up that money and you get the Japan uh yen carry trade so um let's make sure that just because the president is articulating buffoonery uh that we don't get sucked into it uh because

those two things aren't related so um what i think he's really talking about goes something like this dear kevin warship lower the rate so that i can keep running insane deficits so that i can weaken the dollar and therefore we can start exporting more shit i think that's the real thing so that we can grow our economy now if you look at it through the lens of okay you're trying to grow the economy but holy shit if you don't grow it more then you fuck people up through this is naked financial repression uh if you don't grow the economy more than your financial repression you're going to make the problem worse however i will say this that's the playbook the only playbook is to this is post-World War 2 this exactly what we did technically there's two things because they're going to try to use stablecoins we'll get to that in a second which best and as nakedly said the exact words we're going to remain the reserve currency by using stablecoins set that aside for a second

post-World War 2 roughly the same debt to GDP that we have now we get our way out of this via financial repression and awesome amounts of growth so it does work that's exactly how we got our debt back down to i think 30 percent so incredible strategy you can financially repress people by artificially keeping the rates low lower than inflation that's fine you can do it as long as the real economy grows more than inflation it's it's a risky scenario but it can and will work so that's not what he's saying here what he's saying here is nonsensical but if that's what he's trying to dress up and make appetizing or best is trying to explain it to him in these confused either one could be possible then understand the underlying mechanisms the good news is because i know you guys are here because you think from first principles and cause an effect you can actually understand what we need to do what is likely to be being done we can sort of get to the bottom of that but anyway the words in the tweeter fucking retard it that's the long and the short of that

the cobe c letter tweeted september 16th is going to be a wild day we now have president trump threatening to stop trading with all countries that the us has a trade deficit with if the fed does not cut rates this would effectively cut off trade with 50 percent of all us trading partners including mexico china tywan germany japan south korea canada and india trump says the supreme court has ruled that he has an absolute right to do so meanwhile the market now thinks feds chair rosh who was just appointed by president trump will hike rates in his first rate move just months ago trump said it was a precondition that his fed chair employee is willing to cut rates september 16th marks the next fit the trump actually say that out loud or did he imply that because it the precondition thing so yeah i mean i've said a gazillion times here that i think that there was a back channel communications is just got instinct where he said listen if you want the job you have to understand that sure you can be tough in the beginning but by the end of this year we've got to be cutting rates because we have whatever number of trillions of dollars that we have to roll over and if we're doing it at too high of a rate that's going to be a real problem so

i need them rates to come down uh... so yeah i i will be very surprised that that wasn't discussed but there there are going to be consequences to that depending on where the economy is when you do that so and all this is happening in the midst of a trade war with canada this is a angry canadian who thinks caron needs to get a stuff together here we go the numbers are just starting to come and they are a fucking catastrophe the storm has not even got here this is just the initial raindrops and we are already seeing a 40 percent drop a 40 percent drop in our trades surplus with the united states of america that is catastrophic that is not survivable for hundreds of thousands of canadian workers and the onslaught has not even begun as a country our trade surplus just dropped from four point two billion dollars to seven hundred twenty nine million dollars

the canadian economy has been wreaked havoc over by these globalist bankers this point i think is very important to understand basically the u.s. under trumpeting way has given up on globalism you've got rubio talking openly about how globalism failed americans you've got best at talking openly about how globalism is failed trump talking about how globalism is failed and so they're a reversing course doing something that is Hamiltonian in nature we need to be a little bit protectionist we need to bring certain critical industries back to america we need to make sure that workers like actual make things with your hand workers are growing in real terms not nominal real terms so they are actually getting richer over time and that's the strategy now or the plan whether they do that well or not is a totally different question but that's the strap now you've got our man carney who's doing the exact opposite and he's saying yo like this is the the deal like we

want to globalize as much as we can we want to bring in people into our country cheap labor we want everybody to use their comparative advantage let china be manufacturers you know let all the canada is going to do i'm not even sure like if they're planning just financialization and they're just walking in the u.s. footsteps because what they should be doing is stomping on the accelerator from an energy perspective but they're not doing that it's fucking wild so i'm going to guess that it is literally the same playbook that the u.s. ran which is less just financialize everything which is why you have a fucking banker as your prime minister and so the Canadians on the ground level are like dude we've watched this movie play out of all of the advanced economies in the world okay of all the advanced economies in the world canada is growing the slowest and over the next it's projected take projections with a gigantic grain of salt but they're projected to get even worse

dude what the fuck is candidate doing i'll tell you they are leaning into globalization that's not this moment this moment is not brought to you by globalization that moment has passed and we've seen what ends up happening globalization massively enriched china and other countries that got the manufacturing jobs and it financialized the countries that didn't it completely killed off the growth in europe it absolutely decimated canada and america if we weren't so good at fucking financialization we would really be in trouble if the a i bet doesn't pay off we're still going to be in trouble and we've got to bring back working class jobs because if we don't manufacture and make things not only do we have people dying deaths of despair not only do we have a large contingency of people that aren't working that will grow more revolutionary over time but we also have security concerns national security concerns because we have an adversary who controls critical supply chains it's wild whether it's on pharmaceuticals whether it's on military equipment

whether it's on technology the tech that runs our actual modern way of life like it's crazy how okay this i have a big beef with people that look at hey we just ran an experiment globalism for instance and the results were fucking terrible and they go let's just keep doing more of it what are you doing whenever you try something i beat this to death with entrepreneurs whenever you're going to try something ask has anybody done this before me can i learn easily what somebody else suffered greatly to figure out by going and auditing them and the answer is yes yes we just ran this experiment what does it look like to uh financialize your economy instead of making sure that you have real jobs where people move electrons around it looks like the us it looks like a massive k-shape economy it looks like people dying deaths of despair it looks like internal revolution it's like what the fuck is going on canada looking your stats man just look at your stats the numbers that

you're putting up on the board are ridiculous and yet they keep going down this path it's absolutely wild corporate profit margins with stock prices mark carney represents this sick global elite that has eluded and pillaged canada leaving the average canadian worker struggling to survive in our economy all right let's name the mechanism so i showed that clip a couple of weeks ago uh of Dylan something raging this is like back in 2011 she's going absolutely ham saying that the us is being extracted from now same claim that this guy's making now the great news is we know what the mechanism is and the mechanism is that you inflate your currency so that people that own assets are protected they're basically able to siphon the purchasing power off of the average in this case canadian get it into their assets and now they can sell those assets and they've just transferred the wealth from the everyday person who doesn't invest to them see how easy that was that's so easy to explain

what's happening they've been doing it for a very long time and politicians and central bankers to be specific have created this problem knowingly it is how they are able to let you vote for more free things and get rich off of it so imagine let's just take a really cynical look for a second let's imagine you think the plebs are dumb as a fucking box of rocks and so you know yeah these assholes are going to vote for more free things these guys are going to be perfectly happy to run deficits cool it will make me richer if they do and so i'm going to give them stability so a bank should go under we're not going to let it accompany should go under we're not going to let it k us did both of those and instead what we're going to do is we're going to make sure that we print money to make sure everybody feels safe and stable they're not taking risk however we're all going to get really really wealthy by the fact that we use this mechanism of inflation and our assets will

keep pace with inflation because that's how it works and they're all going to get broke and we'll protect ourselves whether with gates guards whatever in corny's case I guess three passports which is fucking dip and so we'll come in get the the money and then leave for while ourselves off it's fucking wild man and we're not in the era anymore where it's like this is ununderstandable I think me is but one small voice in the wilderness has at least gotten able I can explain that shit in like 30 seconds and yeah people understand this is happening they're not going to be happy about it clearly this guy's not going not happy about it at all more and more people are going to be able to articulate this and it will migrate from a rational conversation about policy and it will very quickly become roll out the guillotine's what the fuck are you guys doing this is so dumb this is so actually no holy shit I just realized this is fucking brilliant the people running the strategy they already

have the exit plan what the fuck do they care okay that's enough darkness I cannot allow it to consume me if you stare into the abyss the abyss grabs you by the nuts and yanks you over the edge so hey we're going to find our way out of this boys and girls welcome to the counter revolution so we're not the dumbass comrade communists uh we are here to talk cause and effect we are here to build a framework that gets us out step number one when somebody is running the globalist playbook we we say it for what it is mechanistically we explain why it's not going to work it's not going to work because you need actual manufacturing in your location unfortunately humans are not globally mobile like that picking up and moving everything is just not a thing people are going to do a small subset of people yes will make themselves citizens of the world get multiple citizenship's all that stuff but the reality is for the vast majority of us we're just going to be stuck where our two-feeder there were some crazy stuff even about americans where it's like most people live and die I think it's within like two miles where they grew up it's some absolutely terrifying statistic so given

that reality let's not be a bunch of extractive assholes let's actually let people know hey that impulse to vote for all the free shit it's being weaponized against you let's get a little bit disciplined right I won't go fully down that road for now I will just say as a psa we we have to be physically responsible we can't just drive ourselves to where we're at war and then go okay well war sucks so much now I'm willing to accept it let's let's back out of that before we get there do you think that's why the Netherlands is pulling up pulling out all their gold sort of yeah they got to get ready for the imminent destruction or something so if I'm Netherlands if you guys don't know the Netherlands just moved some 86 tons of gold out of North America they're not doing this because they're buying more something this was not a big purchase this was them saying my gold is currently stored in North America I don't trust you guys I want it at least stored somewhere closer to where I'm at so they moved it to London because London has a capabilities to store it I imagine they would move it even closer if they could but that's

somebody who says all right listen I've got to be prepared to weather a storm I don't know what storm is coming nobody can predict that there's imminent collapse or imminent war or anything like but it's like things are just dodgy enough that you start going yeah how do I protect myself from an unknown problem let me just start doing things that are a little more defensive and that's the moment that we're in we are de globalizing it is a destabilizing moment and Netherlands is acting completely rational in the face of that and so as Americans we really do have to ground ourselves morally we have to tell the world hey it's a new day in America this is what we're going to stand on it's got to be something that has a monetary future so we absolutely cannot galvanize around some dumb ass retarded shit like the DSA this has got to be something that actually makes sense it can't be eternal empire eternal warfare fund the military no matter what it takes this has got to be something where people look at that and go okay these guys are being physically responsible they're being

strong they're being robust no doubt they're focused on innovation they're being I'll say Hamiltonian instead of protectionist but there's certainly some of that in there they're trying to rebuild a strong foundation trying to re-solidify but they're broadcasting what the moral clarity is that you can expect from them they want to be a good trading partner they want to build strong alliances with strong countries and they're going to tell you what that means now you're never going to get rid of some of the bullshit shenanigans that go on behind the scenes because the world is a dangerous fucking place and we have to deal with dangerous fucking people not just a reality so there's always going to be some amount of that but we really do have to broadcast the the core central public vision of what it means to be a one of the two most powerful countries in the world what you can expect from us how we differentiate ourselves from China why people should align themselves with us instead we're going populist so welcome to the anti-populous club it's nice to have you all right everybody we've got another ITU AI masterclass Thursday September 10th at 1 p.m.
