2:04
that the always backing suicide
2:06
myself the kind of did you can
2:08
it's education
2:10
if any of us
2:11
the entered
2:12
more
2:13
one of our names the
2:15
the masters like is just wouldn't it be on
2:17
earth like doesn't sound like is already
2:19
me it isn't it a great name for
2:21
for it's a great name like masses it's
2:24
a great news
2:25
a jd feel i'm sorry that goods
2:27
explain what's going on with this measuring
2:30
what is it would you would you accuse him of
2:32
without any evidence what was like your the habit of
2:34
anything i'm just saying tell us about your mentoring
2:36
candidates to have also
2:40
it is already won the primaries
2:42
and primaries got a got will when will mean it's
2:44
gonna be i think a red wave think
2:46
november and ohio's a pretty
2:49
red state these days
2:50
they sought
2:52
to win the primary in arizona slumber
2:54
more of a toss up but i think he'll do off or
2:57
it might fall question but i'm i'm not allowed to mention
2:59
that you are itself let us get started was as
3:01
such a big deal that like peter supports candidate
3:03
see all these libraries a leftwing run at
3:05
all i'd like interesting oros gives unlimited
3:07
amounts of money to be a crazy
3:09
progressive like just gonna
3:12
lay in a zillion others and we want
3:14
was a subsistence that we have to focus
3:16
on who peter supports know i just think it's
3:18
fascinating that he has articulated his
3:20
rationale for supporting these candidates
3:22
and his objective for sixteen a change in
3:24
government way that he
3:26
they could benefit of hundred and it has been generally
3:28
right what is the basis rebirth adding a part
3:31
of if you watched his speech from the arm
3:33
or and see during the the last for michael
3:36
and he did a good job kind of articulating that
3:38
there's a lot of inefficiencies and governments and there's a
3:40
lot of the accumulated
3:42
sad we need someone to go in
3:45
and we need people to go and really cuts us off because
3:47
so much a politics is driven by what else i'm gonna
3:49
give you not about what i'm in a sex has
3:51
already being stance and in it is inefficient
3:53
way and as a result we keep that climate
3:55
you taxes climbs with the efficiency
3:57
continue to decline of the every dollar
4:00
that said by the government and i think that's a really
4:02
important pieces to see someone actually trying to execute
4:04
against is more sustainable he's very
4:06
few people in the position that he's and to actually
4:08
be able to like make that sort of statement
4:11
everyone wants something more from their government
4:14
worth a try to fix the government for think is user
4:16
more extreme in i think it's user more that
4:18
orthodoxies ruining in america so
4:21
you need forms of heterodoxy to basically
4:23
reset
4:24
hold on to status quo
4:26
and i think that's what he believes more
4:28
than what you to said i think that
4:31
you need a wholesale reset and
4:33
in order to have also reset you need to have
4:36
he's very disruptive candidates that basically
4:38
start to change the norms i mean if you
4:40
if you think about what trump did in one election
4:42
cycle he's
4:44
completely sucked an entire cohort
4:47
of people
4:48
the panic
4:49
and he know moderates and
4:52
now you know a lot
4:54
of immigrants two words the right
4:56
because the democrats have vacated
4:58
all of that space having
5:00
this massive trump arrangements syndrome and
5:02
tacking extremely to the last and
5:05
even if peter we'll never know
5:08
believed in trump or didn't believe in trump it didn't
5:10
matter but the process of him getting that kansas
5:12
elected over the long
5:14
arc of history may actually serve to put
5:16
america back to the center
5:18
pretty good up yeah look at
5:20
that there is why support jt and blake's lab matter
5:22
is they are they represent
5:25
this more populist a working class
5:27
we have a republican party and they're dragging a republican party
5:29
and working class direction i think that's the future
5:31
the party i think that's the opportunity for
5:33
the party to to most points the democrats
5:35
have ceded all that sort
5:38
of this working class territory by becoming
5:40
this elite progressive party the
5:42
face of the party right now the democratic party is populist
5:45
the it was talk about this the
5:48
boy in an alley open he's trading ship
5:50
stocks plugin video and in town
5:52
so forth the week before the
5:55
house was gonna vote on a fifty two billion
5:57
dollar subsidies for gen
5:59
vi more person
5:59
the week before
6:01
his wife decides man
6:03
and a critical legislation goes
6:05
to the floor of the house to be voted
6:08
upon
6:09
the you have the speaker of the house who's the third
6:11
most important person in government
6:14
introducing legislation on her
6:16
timetable
6:17
her husband
6:18
raids in those specific
6:21
equities these and
6:23
maybe even the same the grass of
6:25
that they make
6:27
the read times her annual said
6:29
salary just in one day
6:33
and then she and her husband decides
6:35
events why
6:37
not as by the united states government or
6:39
the state department the taiwan
6:41
they didn't talk about god
6:43
knows what which would have created
6:46
an international uproar the
6:48
biden administration and tony blinken
6:50
had to basically color and say stand down
6:52
you should not go we're not asking
6:54
you to go it is not on the united states agenda
6:57
for you to go
6:58
in all that would have happened is
7:01
an entire process and loop where
7:03
he controls the legislative
7:05
the her husband controls your private stock
7:07
counts
7:07
and
7:09
he
7:10
a name and then they go to tie
7:12
want to whip up the fewer which would have actually
7:14
positively impacted those same name
7:16
the even more it's inexcusable
7:18
that kind of behavior i mean applets let me out years
7:20
to see also passed the line
7:23
and she doesn't realize and by the way sorry let
7:25
me just with whole month and then on top of that season
7:28
the mainstream media doesn't say shit now
7:30
by the way matter com supporter
7:32
i think he's a complete goofball but
7:35
if trump had tried to pull this stuff and twenty sixteen
7:37
twenty seventeen twenty eighteen could
7:40
you imagine how much media
7:42
coverage they will be and today how
7:44
much as i discovered by the mainstream media zero
7:46
was mentioned on msnbc know
7:50
let
7:53
me set the so people don't know, we're talkin about so
7:55
a tuesday to send advanced a slimmed-down
7:58
version of the original chips bill, [unk]
7:59
it on what that is it's basically a bell
8:02
that's going to provide fifty two billion dollars in subsidies
8:04
to move to manufacturing here
8:06
to the united states something we really need to do
8:08
with a bipartisan bill everybody ton of agrees on
8:11
this
8:11
but this is
8:14
in kind of stuck in committee for a little bit becomes
8:17
a year after the center for spur of the two hundred fifty
8:19
billion dollar they'll to reinforce
8:21
your ship making to compete with china
8:23
the reason why this is strategically important
8:26
is because we have a huge ship dependency on
8:28
taiwan which is an assassin china
8:30
solve it should say the new oil
8:33
you know taiwan is the new middle east or
8:35
the new persian gulf and it
8:37
is a very dangerous situation for us be
8:39
completely dependent aren't i want
8:41
was not completely but like for over half or accept
8:43
so
8:44
ensuring
8:45
advanced manufacturing make sense but
8:48
interesting example of how you to you start
8:50
with a legitimate the objective in washington
8:53
a very rapidly it turns into corporate welfare
8:56
the graph by politicians i mean that's
8:58
gross yeah i mean just because he to answer
9:00
many boxing doesn't mean the give intelligent video
9:02
giant handouts and then he got policy
9:06
making millions trading and video options
9:08
yeah it's a little is what i'm saying that is
9:11
done , to support on
9:13
soaring of semiconductor manufacturing
9:15
who would you give the money to and how would it
9:17
be ten adult auto with the terms of a day
9:19
or know the to give these companies money on
9:21
me i think maybe what you do you give him tax
9:24
breaks are various kinds of breaks but
9:26
com i have
9:28
any capital the support that investment as
9:31
if you will get the i'm kind of
9:33
or oh i see on his company's i would
9:36
out and look i'm guessing they're in the high teens or something
9:38
that ideas and not
9:40
going to be able to invest in some newfangled
9:44
fab projects that may or may not actually a
9:46
customers at the end of a day their the board would never
9:48
approve down an independent basis they define our
9:50
oh i see free bird who return on invested
9:52
capital secure a big industrial business you
9:54
know one of the key metrics that your simple this look
9:56
at the the the
9:59
ultimate kind of profit a profit
10:01
that are generated from a big investment you might make and
10:03
co you know you kinda look at that over time
10:05
you'll get the invested money overtime and a cast
10:08
and a return over time you come up
10:10
with this metric and so to key metric for particularly
10:12
capital intensive businesses
10:15
though diverse like intolerant city i would imagine
10:17
it's gonna have a pretty tough time selling
10:20
their board on some speculative on soaring
10:22
side project
10:23
the really doesn't need to be capital
10:25
and acceleration top it all birds who who
10:27
feeds you this bullshit propaganda since
10:29
all
10:30
twenty twenty
10:31
the prudish insulted com
10:33
where these guys had a hold of a hundred and
10:35
ten billion dollars
10:38
spent all of it except for seven point
10:40
two billion yeah six billion
10:42
left on the balance
10:44
i get intimate they're not going to put that money at risk right
10:46
like like timeouts imagine you're on the board
10:48
of into
10:49
i know i can make your own and okay
10:51
so basically on what have i made a ton of money
10:53
this year as a word all come from right i
10:55
make a ton of money
10:57
i have no better ideas of how to do it the
10:59
including theoretically building a chip factory
11:02
so i'm going to go to the government for a handout
11:04
meanwhile i'm gonna take all the money that i had which i could
11:06
have used to fund the same
11:08
i'm going to give it away to people
11:10
i don't know what they're going to do with it i would refrain
11:12
it i would say that the government wants
11:14
to see our industry
11:17
onshore semiconductor manufacturing
11:19
and they are going to the companies that the company
11:21
go to the government they're saying we want you to answer
11:24
semi sector manufacturing do that for
11:26
now like in world war two we went
11:28
to the automobile manufacturers and said the government
11:30
said we want you to make airplanes here's a bunch of
11:32
money maker points that's nice
11:35
but who doesn't seem to go to the who
11:37
else would you give that money to besides the tube and know
11:39
make another world david wright if
11:41
you just give us a catholic subsidy
11:44
that's the one time of fact that helps
11:47
you in a moment
11:48
it doesn't help your business
11:50
any reasonable investor who can
11:52
actually use a simple calculator sees to
11:54
that nonsense so what david wright
11:57
is if you had given them sustained tax
11:59
breaks being able to build the
12:01
business line that then supply things
12:03
for the duration of tens of years
12:06
you're absolutely right investors with lot
12:08
of it would make a ton of sense they would be
12:10
over burning over a long
12:13
enough period of time where people would have to bake
12:15
that into their cashflow estimates weird
12:17
when you discounted back
12:19
it would meet the enterprise of intel and in
12:21
video worth more and then people
12:23
would then want to own that stock more
12:25
giving a catholic subsidy is a meaningless
12:28
way in which you basically handout
12:31
good money
12:32
the organizations who have otherwise misallocated
12:35
the money that they've already have yeah there
12:37
is a much simpler solution is to sachs
12:39
this point of like how do you do this and giving
12:41
free money is that way do it in the best really do is
12:43
to give an incredibly low interest
12:46
rate loan like a thirty forty fifty year
12:48
alone or that baby was has
12:50
some warrants it it just like a you know a silicon valley
12:53
bank or comerica my given a venture debt
12:55
loan where the government actually could make money
12:57
from this and then you in sent them with
12:59
something that a sixty two good not to
13:01
take a sip year alone or
13:03
five billion dollars to build factories you have
13:05
to use it for that so it's use it or lose it
13:08
then you probably panic government back and
13:10
then maybe we get some warrants in intel or
13:12
whoever give the money to this is something that
13:14
obama did with so andra solyndra
13:17
which didn't work out but he also did it with tesla
13:19
and tesla paid all that money back early so
13:21
these loans that the department of energy
13:23
did really did
13:24
the him and getting barack
13:27
obama lot of credit for this
13:28
it really did help
13:30
dr even though it wasn't provide the way way
13:33
to drive a lot of a the and
13:35
adopted a did really help tessa because the
13:38
company it is today
13:39
let me get responses are you know i don't
13:41
know him as much we've we've gone through the details
13:43
of the bill but that there are several components
13:45
to dispel including ,
13:48
and i just want a highlight if i wanted on
13:50
the board of intel
13:51
i'm not gonna make a ten billion dollars that
13:53
investment
13:54
because you know there there may
13:57
or may not be in a profit on the road
13:59
to justify
13:59
that size of an indefinite
14:01
the government comes along and says we will support
14:03
we will cover that's percent of that investment
14:06
i can take on more risk and i am
14:08
more willing to make that investment and theoretically
14:11
i can afford to pay people a
14:13
higher wage or higher salary to cause i now have
14:15
more capital freed up to support to do
14:17
that and so there isn't a success that arises
14:19
by having the government come in put some money
14:21
into these projects accelerate their outcome
14:24
the kids the business more freedoms really be
14:26
free berg free money or in the form of alone
14:29
so what should that financial device be
14:31
i think is the question that us saxophone
14:33
until that include yeah i'm not sure that the loan
14:35
to the loan doesn't resolve the fact that they're having to put
14:38
up money right and so that they're not
14:40
necessarily going to make this answering his absence
14:42
of this the rational capitalise decision
14:45
is the offshore manufacturing for intel is
14:47
irrational for them from a business
14:50
perspective from a board prospectus fiduciary perspective
14:52
to onshore many crary so the reason
14:55
they're going to do it is not good it's are getting along with us
14:57
interest rate is low that doesn't really solve the
14:59
problem it's the government's saying we're going for a ten
15:01
billion dollar facility we want
15:03
you to build it and manager for us and that's
15:05
effectively with have at it and now by building
15:08
the ten billion our facility we created security for
15:10
the rest of the us industries it's worth it
15:12
to the government to put that money up in early
15:14
friday morning
15:16
the one why
15:18
wouldn't he craves security if we if we have more on showing
15:20
have shifted either way there is more secure and i'll say one more thing
15:22
there's also an investment tax credit both into the still
15:24
fact
15:25
which does provide over time a bunch of incentives
15:28
to continue to support and drives the on showing
15:30
work
15:31
that doesn't it off if you want the united
15:33
states point of for super was guy requested
15:35
from off or does one button
15:37
the hurt the after foot
15:45
earlier
15:47
your have seen , so
15:49
awesome to the gun so nagano was
15:52
some on on guides your
15:54
even show us what you are
15:57
bizarre on bizarre was the only thing about the policy
15:59
says
15:59
the data on of the eyes of
16:02
look at the full history of the policy
16:04
train editors the last season training
16:06
that's happened over the last couple years so
16:08
yeah and i'm over the past year
16:11
he had bought nvidia four different times
16:13
each time in the same kind of volume marines
16:16
said the timing certainly may appear
16:18
suspect and it's certainly a terrible kind of thing
16:20
to see he's also bought apple in the last
16:22
month microsoft thought you sold
16:24
apple he bought microsoft the
16:27
he bought alliancebernstein early in the are made
16:29
a few trades this year but in video he's actually
16:31
bought on four different occasions over the past twelve months
16:35
for whatever that's worth right and not not trying to
16:37
defend it but i think we should be intellectually honest about the
16:39
fact that this guy's yeah does take points
16:41
of view and certain companies he praised him a new companies
16:44
are we in your own only to be intellectually honest
16:46
enough to think that
16:47
the has been talks to his wife vice
16:50
versa yeah part is i don't
16:52
happen anymore depends on other and why for yeah
16:55
i think this is
16:56
the way in and out in the open i mean it looks
16:58
real at a minimum the appearance of that
17:00
is of graft and corruption the the appearance
17:03
of impropriety is improprieties they shouldn't
17:05
be allowed to trade they should have to put yourself
17:07
into blind trusts or they should be betrayed
17:09
once a year and a snap to announce their trades
17:12
before the trades happened hey here's what i'm planning on
17:14
doing just like a ceo is planning on doing
17:16
this of it's it's ridiculous that they can do
17:18
this and i know i mainstream media covers
17:21
when you don't
17:23
you think they have said is from if it's
17:25
this had happened during trump says we the would have
17:28
the lot more covers in this polite you remember a lot
17:30
of coverage on trump's it really doesn't get
17:32
covered a maybe to search for today you'll see
17:34
basically the only me alice covering and are
17:36
like fox news and then zero hedge
17:39
that i
17:41
mean that i found out about his like the zero
17:43
hedge tweets about
17:45
the to so daily beast you know headline
17:47
using to have an hour you go dams quietly try
17:49
to jam pelosi on saturating bad but
17:52
if you're asking me us me a question
17:54
come up and he is the media
17:56
largely biased against trump and
17:59
get a free pass to the them yes
18:01
i would say that that is the trend yes i
18:03
think that is intellectually honest of what
18:05
do i i mean i think the media's bank that the just going
18:07
for clicks and i think you know we've talked about this
18:09
before they saw trump is an existential
18:11
risk and they just did whatever talk
18:14
to get him out of office even
18:16
putting ally soon as they completely burned
18:18
all of their credibility a loss allowed
18:20
ago and now the dems are starting to become
18:22
increasingly it has to
18:24
not have touched and maybe heated but
18:27
then the result is that the mainstream media says no longer
18:29
trust the medium or high party both have
18:31
the same problem which is they suffer from
18:33
wyatt com the democratic political
18:35
scientist would you sure as called
18:38
professional class the gemini i mean to
18:40
they are populated by college
18:43
graduates with degrees who basically
18:45
have this that very elitist progressive
18:47
agenda that is what is
18:49
causing the democratic
18:51
the working class to deflect from the democratic
18:54
party their historical basis in droves
18:56
look at hispanics or for thought you go to
18:58
the latest biden polling numbers
19:01
he's down to thirty one percent approval
19:03
sixty percent disapproved okay so
19:05
the trenches getting worse there but you look at hispanics
19:08
is down to nineteen percent approval seventy
19:10
percent disapproval it's and even
19:12
more intense version of the same problems
19:15
you had myra floor as
19:17
get elected in that texas see this
19:19
is a district that went especially prominently
19:23
mexican american district they went
19:25
provided by eighteen points disturb
19:27
you know two years ago the now they're
19:29
voting for her by overturned points so
19:31
your promises when that seat for the first time the
19:34
you have these used to purchase out why why
19:36
that happening because the democrats are appealing
19:39
the donor class on issues like border
19:42
on issues like crime yeah
19:44
and on issues like
19:47
the or t and schools
19:48
read your blood working
19:51
hospital in this country they don't open borders
19:53
they want prime three prosecutor
19:56
and crack down on your and they do not wanna
19:58
do the law school education for their it's okay
20:00
it's very simple for that basically is why they're
20:02
offered prose losing losing
20:05
votes now me give a couple other examples the
20:07
democrats certainly appealing to the sort of donor
20:09
class so you recently
20:11
there's article about them as
20:14
a spent forty four million
20:17
dollars this election cycle basically
20:19
running ads in favor the
20:22
crazy magically in primaries
20:24
there's been a bunch of reports of this were
20:27
independent of republican primaries the
20:29
democrats were actually spend money on behalf
20:31
of the sort of them more perceive
20:33
crazy mobile get that magri
20:35
and trump the maggie elections in iron so forth
20:38
said because of the perceptions or be easier
20:40
to beat in the general
20:42
but i think this is a case to be careful what you wish for
20:44
because you know if we have
20:47
a red wave in november your end up with more these
20:49
candidates basically winning there
20:51
was a very cynical strategy the other for
20:54
example i think of
20:56
a very simple strategy is you saw there was a
20:58
vote in the house this
21:00
past week on gay marriage
21:02
and the house voted to repeal
21:04
doma the defense of marriage act and support
21:07
basically qualify for burst of felt
21:09
right there soon forces non the
21:12
on i gay marriage something
21:14
like you're sixty republicans voted
21:16
for it look i would have liked to see more republicans
21:19
vote for this i think it should be like
21:21
you know majority about impartially voiceless the
21:24
point is that is or any intention
21:26
of the democrats springs up in the center and pass
21:28
it and codify oberstar when they have
21:30
a chance i think the answer is no wide
21:33
because the democrats rather fun resolve this issue the
21:35
same was true about row the democrats
21:37
had super majority is in the sun
21:41
under obama they could have codified row they never
21:43
took the chance why because they
21:45
would rather fundraise office issue from
21:48
aggressive elites the donor class in california
21:51
new york this is why they're not and
21:53
you really want i could also absolutely
21:55
obama said it on of the record obama was asked
21:57
why were you not see campaign
22:00
on codifying robbie way and
22:02
then very quickly into it he was off
22:04
when he had the super majority and built the house and senate
22:07
well you act on roby way to goes know it is not a priority
22:09
and
22:11
that's a call it absolutely could have been codified
22:13
just like a or burchfield can be codified tomorrow
22:16
tomorrow's there are there are ten
22:18
republican votes there are ten republican
22:20
votes at least for this in the senate you
22:22
have a spy filibuster proof the
22:25
majority innocently would support this
22:27
the same republicans who
22:29
supported the government restriction bill
22:31
the by your side and the support of the
22:33
infrastructure belt getting naked codify abortion
22:35
rights in the country right now they want to know
22:38
that that moment as past that moments pass i'm
22:40
not saying republicans would never give women the right
22:42
known a lot decisive majority some sun and
22:44
anymore for for a qualifying
22:46
wrote there is a supermajority right now for caught
22:48
a final person so they could do that
22:50
right now
22:51
the and are not to matthew been a donor to
22:53
the democratic party did you believe that
22:56
know as you do believe that the arm
22:58
the abortion issue drove
23:01
you and others to put more money and and that may
23:03
be nano because because
23:05
the leadership of the democratic party
23:08
focus on trump in the
23:10
last big cycle it was all trump trump trump
23:12
trump the i think that
23:15
more grassroots fundraising focuses
23:17
on
23:18
that for a gun rights or
23:21
have you ever say anything is true that they actually
23:23
held off on trying to codify rose to that
23:25
they could continue to support cameras i'm just i'm
23:27
just gonna give you the quotes because it's
23:29
there's there's no opinion
23:31
okay april twenty ninth of
23:34
two thousand and nine president barack obama
23:36
says on wednesday he saber
23:38
abortion rights women but that passing a law
23:40
dairy queen bees rights were not a truck top
23:42
forwards
23:44
the need that women should have the right to choose obama
23:46
told a news conference martinis first hundred days
23:48
in office again when he had super majorities in
23:50
both houses that i think that most
23:52
important thing we can do to tamp down some of the angers
23:54
running this issue is to focus on those areas we
23:57
can agree on
23:59
the
24:01
you get into the seat of power
24:03
you have the decision on what your legislative
24:05
agenda should be he made
24:07
that
24:07
calculations david is right
24:10
sadly that it was in a moment
24:12
where we had a clear line of sight to
24:14
codifying many of these rights
24:17
yeah but the question be buried under all of a lot
24:19
on that's not the question that free burgers se he's
24:21
a dude thing
24:23
that they specifically did this to keep
24:25
it as an open issue to raise my of it i don't
24:27
think that's believe all yeah so no way
24:29
no way absolutely one of those about
24:31
cynicism side the truly cynical
24:33
move where
24:34
trump saying i'm going to get
24:36
this in vivid jalil vote to win
24:39
the primaries to get those twenty percent
24:41
who wanna take away the rights for women to have an abortion
24:44
and i'm going to stack the supreme court
24:46
to our you know that ,
24:48
of the from all of a little article stop fucking
24:52
fucking political and [unk] wholesale
24:54
limitless defined terms so you may
24:56
be opposed to what trump did but
24:58
there wasn't that was a cynical he stated
25:00
what he was going to do when he ran for office and
25:02
then he did it he lived up to be somebody
25:05
me he did not have that he
25:07
did not believe in that he did it specifically to
25:09
get those most we all know he didn't believe in it we
25:11
all know he believes in a women's right to choose
25:13
can he he created a platform
25:15
to get elected yes then send
25:18
it was elected he executed on that
25:20
platform i think when accessing
25:22
is obama had obama platform to get him elected
25:24
and when obama chose
25:26
the choice he chose the not execute
25:28
on the platform and that is also true
25:31
and all and to saying is we owe it to ourselves
25:33
to be intellectually honest about what that
25:35
me what happened okay struggled
25:37
to these two guys made the claim so long
25:40
you're going to write an employee acting in your
25:42
own self into i understand what is wrong
25:44
i want this on the record
25:45
all right you guys meet claims to become president
25:48
it turns out that trump actually did execute
25:51
on most of his claims as important as a
25:53
word some and obama on
25:55
some of the most important issues of our just time
25:57
did not look what trump did was
25:59
this
26:00
simple coalition politics he thought it was important
26:02
to in the religious right he basically appeal
26:04
to them he said that if you vote for mates
26:06
i will nominate these judges represented his office
26:09
he delivered he delivery don't believe in it himself
26:12
rights rationalizing after a certain
26:14
point as point as of that a lot of me either or people should
26:16
have per africa principles a lot either
26:18
as a matter of sure that their principles but i'd
26:20
matters to me that bebop i'm here but season just need
26:22
to have the principle of saying that he's going to him
26:25
he's going to pass and codify will be way to not
26:27
do what is that
26:29
the key about listen i the
26:31
quote you gave doesn't give why he didn't do
26:33
it he didn't make it a price they could also hold
26:35
on let me finish it could also
26:37
be that he believes that it would not get
26:39
overturned so we should spend his time
26:41
on obama care and other things
26:44
i'm saying cynicism is when you believe
26:46
one thing and they you do something to act as your own
26:48
self interest and that's what i say it's of an uprising
26:50
disrupted also we don't need to go back only
26:52
to the a bomb ministration cause the issue
26:54
on talking about today yet is and
26:56
the past week their vote codifying
26:59
cooper's of fell on gay marriage and repealing
27:02
doma okay great so now listen
27:04
i actually think there are so many republican votes mouse
27:06
even i would have liked to see more there were
27:08
enough that that this might same schumer
27:11
into bring up the vote used to be so obvious
27:14
if he doesn't that he
27:17
is doing this for a reason right because they
27:19
have the votes they can pass this just like
27:21
they passed the gun built a few weeks
27:23
ago rights to think they pass the
27:25
infrastructure bill the or even if schumer
27:27
doesn't bring this up it's a very simple move fairly
27:30
good strategically to out have that
27:32
issue to phrase funny i get more as the
27:34
of cynicism and is really proof listen
27:36
to things outside or cynical the
27:39
worst thing i don't know ever
27:41
however when i'm talking about the type of cynicism
27:44
though i think that there's a lot of issues
27:47
on which the democrats would rather
27:49
the appeal the donor class
27:51
busy that lives on the coast new york california
27:54
be able to keep fund raising on that issue and base least
27:57
scare mongering at issue a set of just winning
27:59
the us as witnesses
28:01
you right now some are you have
28:04
what's interest in supporting the democratic
28:06
party based on the principle
28:08
you stated that in the past there have been kind of
28:10
promises and capital race against
28:13
codifying row and then it not happening
28:15
when he never made those promises to me so i never
28:17
felt like they lied to me i'm
28:21
i'm going to be very clear so then nobody i never
28:23
asked for that to be a precondition of
28:25
my donation again
28:27
my capital was focused on one thing
28:29
which is i thought that president trump
28:31
that's not the right person to lead this country
28:33
then i thought very clearly that the bright
28:36
democrats to do a much much better
28:38
and i'm glad that biden one
28:41
and i'm glad that the money that i put in
28:43
maybe in know in any small
28:45
way but hopefully and some reasonable nontrivial
28:48
weights health and i'm glad that that
28:50
money helped even out the senate i'm
28:52
glad all of those things happen so
28:54
i want to be clear they've never made those kinds of
28:57
promises to be nor have i ever fast i
28:59
make a high level decision on who i think the
29:01
best candidate should be and support the
29:03
party that will get that best and it has affected
29:05
what i was just trying to make clear to you guys
29:07
is that sometimes
29:10
even a democrat it's important for us to
29:12
be intellectually honest about
29:14
what has happened it's very
29:16
easy
29:17
the look at the other guy and find all the
29:19
ways in which they screwed up or tried to screw
29:21
you are
29:23
you know it isn't in a lacks empathy your
29:25
lock sympathy all of these things
29:28
or charter oftentimes look at your own team and say
29:30
wait a minute why didn't x y and z happen
29:32
and the reason i'm bringing up what happened
29:34
in two thousand and nine is i think david israel
29:37
we had a moment in time
29:39
where the leadership of the democratic
29:41
party codify
29:44
right that should be codified
29:46
they should have in hindsight they should have done it i
29:48
don't you know the nuclear know it is still open
29:51
weekend while i'm talk about ravi weight and yes
29:53
him for the for the issue we're talking about an hour issue because
29:55
a codified are absolutely just to be clear i'm
29:57
an independent i would vote for republic
29:59
who was socially progressive and fiscally
30:02
conservative as long as there for gay marriage of
30:04
those you're pro women's right to choose
30:06
and they were fiscally conservative i would vote for a republican
30:09
i'm a moderate independence i wanted
30:11
to weigh less government and more efficient government
30:13
and i want people about the government out of people's personal
30:15
lives and i think that's where sacks and i are exactly
30:17
same
30:18
we both what i'm in sacks to you want the government
30:20
involved in people's personalized
30:22
your i cannot begin by the way to
30:24
the mana fall from a few weeks ago
30:27
you represents four percent
30:29
the voting that
30:31
the an extent yeah that's an extreme minority
30:33
bit me that the with the lowest
30:36
help identifying quadrant of
30:38
fiscal conservative they're gonna
30:40
federal liberal social conservatives as a liberal
30:43
is the simple conservative social liberal
30:45
what do we all here
30:47
i think we all fit the profile fiscally
30:49
we want the government to be run conservatively
30:52
it out and with less government we want aggressive
30:55
social change right emily grow feel that
30:57
don't put me in a quarter have been added to the first on
30:59
our on our guys
31:02
if we're all in st when define my cultural
31:04
positions as progressive social taste because would
31:06
that change that progress as progress as i hear right now
31:08
is radicals when i favorite social tolerance
31:11
i think anything of that our maybe
31:13
a tolerant society america's a very broad
31:15
diverse country would he to find
31:17
ways to live together and find accommodation
31:20
issues every contentious sooner that
31:22
includes dollars for gay marriage so
31:24
what i'm on board with that but you know
31:27
this radical it's that progressive agenda of social
31:29
change which includes
31:31
bending the are the criminal justice
31:33
system in favor of yeah no no no longer
31:35
than ever that what's happening in the schools
31:38
will see our t and the sort of ivory have
31:40
any all joyce education look at this
31:42
is be teaching the basics really
31:44
i'll leave it up to master do the autonomous iowa
31:46
exactly i goes on down on maybe
31:49
progressive is the wrong term for that that now has been
31:51
co op black government
31:53
involved in your personal life intolerance i think
31:55
we all agree on that as it were allergies a great
31:57
hundred everybody agrees a tolerance is a single
31:59
the listen to wanna have less government involved
32:02
in your life right i mean meanwhile people
32:04
in the united states have been
32:06
able to thrive and and survive
32:08
because of the role the government has played in their
32:10
lives and
32:12
obviously on one end of the spectre extreme caressed
32:15
on the other end of the spectrum
32:17
extreme need that is being mad
32:20
by the wealthiest
32:21
government in the world
32:23
that that that you know it isn't that middle
32:26
were all of where do you stand free lloyd how would you describe
32:28
your
32:29
politics and need to dynamics
32:32
you are your you also in this four percent
32:39
free
32:40
yeah yeah yeah no i'm here com
32:43
i'm going to be thoughtful others because i can
32:45
i think it's the idea
32:47
i think that the government's role
32:50
is to support those in need not
32:52
those and want and i think
32:54
that the government should be held accountable
32:56
for performing that role and
32:58
i think that those of us who can that
33:01
are sitting and privileged positions and seats should
33:04
enable the government to perform that role wealth
33:06
and we should be positive
33:09
the actors
33:10
meaning we should support we
33:12
should pay taxes and we should help people
33:14
and and institutions in need
33:17
that are you know
33:19
can for the greater good and then we should be
33:21
holding our cells or government and our
33:23
our politicians to account the
33:25
inefficiencies and the biggest concern
33:27
i have is less about are the people in need
33:29
needs being met as much as are we
33:31
holding our government to apart the
33:33
performance of its services and duties to
33:36
the american people and i really like we aren't want
33:38
or like this what need concept here can
33:40
you give an example of where
33:42
the government like the people need something
33:45
but episode a group that wants something and maybe we're overstretching
33:47
and and get on giving into
33:50
wants when we should be focused on the it's an efficiency
33:52
the i'll give you a pretty young it's
33:55
an example i know reasonably well which is
33:57
the farm bill passes every four years
34:00
the farm bill in order to get a pass in both
34:02
the house and senate
34:04
that had components that serve both farmers
34:07
added support the the food stamp
34:09
program the the food stamp
34:12
program obviously support millions of americans
34:14
that are in need of food can't afford food
34:17
they get a bead he card they get supporting buying food
34:19
and as a lot of problems and access that are unable or that
34:21
program
34:22
the nord at the that mostly services the needs
34:24
of urban areas of cities surpasses
34:27
that that that element of the bill is attractive
34:29
an appealing to the representatives of cities
34:31
sound in the house
34:32
the other side in order to get a path in the senate
34:35
where the majority of senators come from rural
34:37
states
34:38
which are on had significant farming
34:40
populations
34:41
farming subsidies are planted
34:43
in that same bill and as a result
34:45
because everyone getting something that's
34:48
still as a whole has now grown
34:50
to a multi hundred billion dollar bill that
34:52
gets passed every few years because in order
34:55
for the senate the tacit the house says okay we'll give
34:57
you all the farm saudis and order for the house
34:59
the pats as the senate says it will sort
35:01
is it and vice versa rights particularly susceptible
35:04
but both of them now have a rebel
35:06
what are they call it porpoises or whatever the
35:09
amount of money that's wasted that isn't
35:11
actually servicing the original intention
35:13
in need of either of the parties
35:15
that are represented by that filth is extraordinary
35:18
and i feel a lot of kind of the farm bill i actually work
35:21
with lobbyists years ago to d c
35:23
and i actually met with the senate and house activities
35:26
i've gone very deep into the bill and some of the programs
35:28
in that bills and assists shocking to me
35:30
in the same way that palmer lucky surge in are
35:32
all and somehow shockingly that's how defense spending like
35:34
some countries it's something to me often
35:36
of the the programs
35:38
work and find out how much money
35:40
and how much waste the rate of how much grief there is an
35:43
so yes we're meeting the needs of populations
35:45
in need and countries but so much more
35:47
of the bill now is about people wanting
35:49
more wanting order to pass the bill and it's and it's bloated
35:51
how many fit because where's the
35:53
incentive for any more prominent have that
35:55
philip worth the i have to fix if both sides
35:58
are barbell in the grass to then there's no incentive
35:59
they're they're they're in a dance to to maximize
36:02
the graft it's a bargain will
36:04
where do you stand now if we if we were does sort of look
36:06
at politics without a biden
36:08
and trump derangement syndrome without the the
36:11
that tribalism just in terms
36:13
of first principles i think what we're
36:15
seeing his we all wanna see radical confidence
36:17
in the government social issues
36:19
fight you know and fiscally how we run the country
36:22
where where you stand i would you describe yourself now
36:26
look i mean i think of things in terms
36:29
of risk
36:31
here's what i see
36:33
i see that there
36:36
are a handful of issues that
36:38
remain in terms of social
36:40
policy that just
36:43
need to get codify
36:47
gay marriage as an example of one abortion
36:49
rights as an example of the other then
36:53
and i think like those are like really
36:57
the my to my perspective
36:59
speak about human individual
37:01
liberty which i think should trump average
37:04
though
37:05
everybody should be allowed to kind of
37:07
pursue the test version
37:09
of themselves however that manifests
37:12
in the person you married to
37:13
in in the gender you express that
37:16
leader like things were what you do to
37:18
be happy you should be allotted period
37:20
end of story
37:22
then there are issues were
37:24
i think a much thornier and
37:27
they get older i become increasingly
37:29
ambivalent or confused
37:31
actually as a better word the gun control
37:33
is a perfect example of that
37:35
where i don't know
37:38
what my right is to go and adjudicator
37:40
change to the constitution that's been there
37:43
since the founding of this country that's a
37:45
much more complicated
37:47
so i think we have to basically devolved
37:50
that right to the states where
37:52
individual states will have very different laws
37:55
and part of how you choose to express
37:57
where you live will be defined by some of those rules
38:00
that's the social sites extreme
38:02
tolerance is really how i would sum it up
38:05
the economically
38:07
so but but i think that the risk to america
38:12
imploding quote unquote because
38:14
of an issue in that surface area
38:16
in my opinion is extremely limit if
38:19
i look on economic ones however i think
38:21
your enormous risks the
38:24
american leadership and exceptionalism and
38:28
we need a wholesale reset how
38:30
we create incentives
38:33
how government should worth
38:35
of how regulatory capture should work
38:38
how the capital markets worth these
38:40
rules or way to pervert
38:43
and it's creating enormous
38:46
stress in assists then
38:49
again i go back to the sample i used
38:51
last episode the
38:54
thing that if you look for example like you
38:56
know in that example of three on thoughts singapore
38:59
jamaica and how they were these three
39:01
completely different outcomes the
39:04
underneath the most successful outcome
39:06
was incredibly clear transparent
39:09
and simple financial frame you
39:12
cannot spend more than you have
39:15
you need to invest in long term programs like
39:17
education healthcare you need
39:19
to make them broadly them
39:21
then you'd have an absolute free market
39:23
that gets the best ideas to the top of and
39:27
if you can just incorporate those things the
39:29
past law could be four pages
39:32
you know the that
39:34
the number of regulations could be
39:36
sixty pages you know the simple
39:38
rule that says to the federal reserve
39:40
except just print free money have
39:43
hawk so i'm
39:45
a much more concerned about the fiscal future
39:47
of gotta go i think that there's so much
39:50
movement and progress on
39:53
the social side
39:54
including the freedom of movement of people to
39:56
different states
39:58
it is an important said
39:59
but it terms of what drives the outcome
40:02
and future success for kids are kids as kids
40:05
people should not sleep on the economy because if
40:07
we get this wrong that
40:09
will be the tinderbox satellites
40:11
everything on site
40:13
that's when you hear you know everybody certain
40:15
explain
40:16
their basic belief system
40:19
how far apart you think we all are on his podcast
40:21
because any has been
40:22
this your we see a lot of the fence discussing
40:24
you and i discussing
40:26
i feel like almost these issues and i think that's
40:28
people ask me how i'm friends with you have a time and
40:30
i'm sure you get that question as well
40:33
and i love you and your brother and
40:35
i know i love sex like a brother and at any
40:37
time we talk about basic issues
40:39
we're very much in sync and then we talk about politics
40:41
he feels like we're super you know
40:44
you know up opposed you know and
40:46
in in opposition to each other when you hear that we
40:48
all have
40:49
essentially the same stack of
40:51
fundamental beliefs how how how
40:54
do you interpret this in terms of
40:56
politics and in america writ large and in
40:58
and how do we get consensus in this country
41:00
to be more effective in running the country for the citizens
41:03
the media dies want to polarization
41:06
right because they're feeding us a bunch of bogus narratives
41:08
you look at the polling around
41:10
the trust in the traditional
41:12
media has apsley plums through the floor
41:14
i mean they basically have
41:17
served as reporting objective we the facts
41:19
they i think the i use recognized
41:21
they are activists they are be sleep pushing
41:23
an agenda and are pushing a bunch of bogus
41:25
narratives and i think it does drive the polarization
41:27
so that's part of it to go back to you
41:29
know what what are the core issues that
41:32
motivate me and like who i support
41:36
look i think we can probably agree on stuff i
41:38
want to pursue a morbid internationally cautious
41:41
the agenda it was interventionist
41:44
was a really hasn't worked out for us very well as last twenty
41:46
years while these wars that failed i
41:49
wanted to be fiscally responsible and promote
41:51
a healthy economy observe
41:53
what small set of uncertain like us to be socially
41:56
tower at now why does that we meet
41:58
in this for environment
41:59
the board republicans well
42:01
on international on inner answer
42:04
for paul seats neither party is really
42:06
very good both parties are sort of pushing
42:08
some version of book bush doctrine
42:11
light we're we're basically over involving ourselves
42:13
in all these countries all over the world but the republicans
42:16
at least have a faction doesn't favor
42:18
of realism interest rate so i'm trying
42:20
to help kind of push that
42:22
direction within the party the democrats
42:24
just are still very much in this liberal
42:27
interventionists mode the
42:29
school issues what parties are
42:31
guilty of overspending in
42:33
creating this ruinous federal debt
42:35
and deficit we have however there's
42:38
no way to avoid the fact that there are preserved as
42:40
worse i mean biden wanted the
42:43
extra four trillion of spending
42:45
this whole or billboard better on top
42:47
of the fortunately me that solution i know the
42:50
republicans don't have clean hands on this
42:52
issue but the progress is are just worse as
42:54
long as it progresses are calling the shots the
42:56
democratic party they're just worse on spending
42:58
and then he got social towers listen the
43:01
issues on these sort of t rights issues
43:03
that have been the of the all social issue
43:05
last fifty years by and large not
43:07
all these things by a large on with you guys that
43:11
i'm in favor of sort of the that the socially tower
43:13
positions but look at he was pushing so
43:15
santosh today i mean the progressives
43:18
are most intolerant group in america they're the ones
43:20
pushing cancel pulsar thirteen was trying to solve
43:23
their positions down the throats of ordinary americans
43:25
this is was creating the backlash you look
43:28
at issues today like to guards t like
43:30
the progress or approach on crime on borders
43:33
the progressive of try to promote i
43:35
think a social policy that is
43:37
fundamentally intolerant and and doesn't
43:39
accord any respect or
43:41
room for traditional americans live their
43:43
lives the way they want to then you have to
43:45
be tolerant of them as well we're not in
43:47
our pete our society without some our
43:50
things about the first was let's
43:52
wrap on your mouth an amazon
43:54
the i sent you guys is this
43:56
is a quote by my salon a tweet
43:58
from my salon the caffeine
44:00
is i've been wondering how they were going to spin this
44:02
and distills exactly on david to
44:04
said here when the
44:07
quinnipiac quinnipiac poll came
44:09
out and about approved
44:11
disapprove the
44:13
president biden you know
44:15
the big outlier was the hispanic
44:17
population nineteen percent approve
44:19
seventy percent disapprove and
44:22
the the article in the washington post
44:24
which tries to kind of
44:25
there
44:27
to wipe clean this all up and whitewash it says
44:29
fake news speaks many languages
44:33
it's particularly fond of spanish
44:35
thankfully saying that you know the
44:38
the seek news problem and in
44:40
the spanish language has basically gotten
44:42
so bad that
44:43
you know the sort of explains why hispanics
44:45
have to have moved in droves
44:47
and it's like a whole race baiting
44:50
cheap shot article but the point
44:52
of all of this is just to show that
44:54
the left or this is what really does kind
44:56
of bummed me out they are they are probably
44:58
more intolerant
45:01
the need ever did
45:03
the owners intellectual dishonesty like
45:05
is rachel maddow really wanted to
45:07
increase her standing position she
45:09
would just start the next program with nancy pelosi
45:11
trades and say listen we all know let's call
45:13
this when it is it's not cool and
45:16
here's how it's changed so never do it i
45:18
now and that and i think that's the disappointing part about
45:20
all this okay so let's shift now i think we've put
45:22
this movement what does your one final thing about this whole thing
45:24
we can move on his honor i think i
45:27
, if you are sort of purple and centrist
45:29
i think the first two years of the by the most
45:32
recent were really a missed opportunity because
45:34
i think this or this conventional wisdom of the party supporters
45:36
accent anything done i think we
45:39
saw actually there's enough republican
45:41
votes are there were in the in the previous congress
45:43
this this for a congress they got the of
45:45
sociable done they got the gun
45:47
bill done it with a red flag laws
45:49
and so forth that we talked about six handgun
45:53
on vacation of gay marriage done
45:55
if they want to they could have
45:57
gone are the electoral how after
45:59
on sept by now gone all the way
46:02
with his progressive voice agenda and
46:04
is focused on reforming the electoral town
46:06
act
46:07
then you could have prevented a situation like
46:09
we had
46:10
on january six that that what was happening
46:12
inside the couple not outside so
46:14
there was a lot of stuff they could pass and they didn't
46:17
why because the in this in
46:19
the first half of his mistress and binds principally
46:21
captive to the progressive there's nothing as
46:23
well if you could get a child tax
46:26
credit the past you could
46:28
get rami were basically be the floor leader
46:30
on that in the senate they to pass a
46:32
child tax credit
46:33
that's the most popular part of bbb
46:35
why don't they peel that often vote on
46:37
it and holding their prices
46:40
are holding are hostage saying that were innocent give
46:42
that you unless you do the whole and salon
46:44
and of course as opposed to that soaps i think
46:46
there's and there's and and so who ultimately as the
46:48
culprit for allowing to start to were
46:50
partly by but also wrong clean the chief of staff
46:53
i mean they've made a up the instead
46:55
of trying to way to the center they serve realized
46:57
hey we're a fifty fifty president right
47:00
i mean we are fifty fifty senate we
47:02
should be triangulating which he building
47:04
a central collison wrong i agree
47:06
that we literally moderate voters behind
47:08
the train body had a clear path to go right
47:10
to the center pull everybody and pull the working
47:12
class and that's been his
47:14
supporting bay suing working class
47:16
and so he is and he blew it by going
47:19
too far to the last if he wants to save this presidency
47:21
he should go straight to the middle
47:23
get all the working class behind him by
47:25
to be reason a guy that went to
47:27
some elite
47:29
you know or east coast liberal
47:31
arts school every got a masters in
47:34
you know fine arts in his four hundred thousand
47:36
in debt that fat joe biden said he's
47:38
let's all these people's run
47:41
over the last
47:43
it's too late now because of the i think was going
47:45
to how did you have just while their problems ago when
47:48
the how muslim i'm summer so did
47:50
we spent talking about canceling student debt
47:52
for who
47:53
yeah know for a bunch of really
47:55
the we'll reach one hundred degrees
47:59
as ugly imminent
47:59
the characters on both sides it's disgusting
48:02
and we need to get to have a version of politics
48:04
that maybe more like our conversations here but
48:06
let's let's pivot to another
48:08
society that we thought was gonna roll over ours
48:10
but and that we were been are
48:13
we were behind on in terms of competition
48:15
right is in chaos right now apparently
48:17
i'm in terms of slowing economic
48:20
growth bank protests mortgage protests
48:22
exactly what i predicted last year when you guys
48:25
we're talking about china was gonna dunk on us and
48:27
i said you know it's very hard to run these
48:29
the court hearing countries and citizens
48:31
like to protest when they get
48:33
the short end of the stick in here we go
48:36
chinese economy is is growing very slowly
48:38
they were going to do five and a half percent this year
48:40
the only point four percent in queue to
48:42
nobody had a lot to do with us
48:44
there's been a series of bank protests and
48:47
it media has been trying to figure out exactly what's going
48:49
on here
48:50
the to set the stage here rural banks in china
48:53
in a couple provinces froze a bunch
48:55
of people's withdrawals and april
48:58
okay sounds like the crypto contagion
49:00
in many ways
49:02
they had been offering unusually high interest
49:04
rates also setting like the device
49:07
or griff going on here noise is as is more like
49:09
to those natures and i think the answer that it's more
49:11
like the financial crisis in two thousand a that was driven
49:13
by the real estate bubble yeah symptoms are unreal
49:15
say bubble which is collapsing they're correct
49:17
and so there's there's multiple things going on
49:19
at once
49:21
the authorities haven't said how much money as frozen
49:23
protesters claim his billions
49:25
that won but it's hundreds of millions
49:27
in the us two weeks
49:29
without a resolution customers have been be protesting
49:33
plain clothes
49:34
the odd have been hitting taken the protesters
49:37
and as of wednesday a video and viral
49:39
of the ccp bringing in tanks to
49:41
protect the banks very
49:44
evocative have to animates where i come across
49:46
the so that
49:48
yeah so china has a very explicit
49:50
zero tolerance policy and co why
49:53
do you guys see they
49:55
are so
49:56
extreme in that policy like
49:59
and
49:59
you any ideas like as had they explained
50:02
why it has to be zero tolerance
50:05
they have not explain that i'm
50:07
and if you believe that they are the origin of covert
50:09
maybe they have some insider information about
50:12
long haul cove it and that was something i want
50:14
to talk to freed by berg about if he
50:16
thinks the speedo
50:18
long term covert stuff is
50:20
really acute issue but free by what are you the auto
50:23
let me
50:25
an idea for your time or
50:27
, yeah gruesome or i think
50:29
the answer is very some some about the
50:32
chinese economy as i know others
50:34
who are not to turn over two years as years complex
50:36
issue there's more going on there so on
50:38
on zero covert i think this coming directly
50:41
from see that is policy and
50:43
i think that earlier in the pandemic they
50:46
were hailing their response which
50:48
they saw as orderly
50:50
the an effective at controlling
50:52
cove it and they were contrasting that was
50:55
a chaotic what's your response and so i think
50:57
that
50:58
the credibility of the ccp
51:00
and g himself got tired of this
51:03
idea
51:04
stop and cove it entirely of zero cove
51:06
it and so i think this coming directly from
51:08
the top
51:09
these are you a huge impact on their
51:11
economy and i think this will have a dangerous
51:14
aspects of a autocratic system
51:16
is he got one guy at the top making decisions
51:19
and he's wrong there's not really a great
51:21
see by know being questioned him via does
51:23
the i got my something the god king either
51:26
it's or for calls on calls situation
51:28
and sign up things about five hundred
51:30
years ago there was there was emperor who banned
51:32
said building banning having
51:35
a navy because of that china's
51:37
shudder so far from global trade and itself
51:40
while behind the west which then exporting
51:42
telford the new world is this question
51:44
about your the chinese
51:46
the chinese culture civilization was much
51:48
more advanced
51:49
the western europe a thousand
51:52
years ago but basically it fell
51:54
behind and a big reason is because
51:56
this unilateral decision by one emperor
51:58
to be silly cause of cells often the world
52:00
so you have to wonder does this
52:02
com autocratic move by she's basically
52:05
do their economy to a recession
52:07
the seems like they're not learning from our experience
52:09
these lock dunstan work i mean you
52:11
can't stop the virus is events gonna get out
52:14
even i saw biden the
52:16
virus this week i mean it's out right
52:18
it is now everybody has got it is is
52:20
a a basic we would make a bunch apprehended
52:22
systems like this yeah besides lockdowns it
52:24
was it's also the crackdowns is the crackdown
52:27
on the tech industry yeah that's
52:30
about your unwinding has plummeted
52:32
and so has so
52:34
peas are no longer investing in funds
52:37
there with the exception of sequoias with seems to
52:39
be struggling but is still able to raise the money
52:42
then additionally the founders
52:44
can't raise money and sanders are questioning when they
52:46
meet with v sees if they can actually if the
52:48
bases are just meeting with them theatrically
52:51
the story that came out this week in the ft
52:53
there is me to with them the accurately because
52:55
they want tube still hold out hope
52:57
that they'll be a venture capital industry but there
53:00
may not be a vc industry in china anymore
53:02
let me just give you the housing stuff and then freiburg
53:04
i know you want to time in on this
53:06
though there's also mortgage what boycotts
53:08
happening at the same time as this
53:10
so gacy banks that happened the bank
53:12
stuff seems to be not the national bank these are local
53:15
bank
53:15
that apparently could have been running some kind of a
53:17
grifter where people deposit all i really went
53:19
away to a lot like the savings and loan
53:22
the out an odd behavior in the nineties and
53:24
in the u n is a regional banks to be clear
53:26
this isn't the national banks and so at the
53:28
same time the mortgage boycotts are happening in three
53:31
at three hundred one unfinished of elements and
53:33
ninety one city
53:34
homeowners are cute and developers are failing to deliver the apartments
53:36
they've already paid for according to bloomberg seventy
53:38
percent of house or wealth and china's tied up in
53:40
property much higher than us as downstream
53:42
in the whole evergrande saying right is i never dreamt
53:45
evergrande basically defaulted and
53:47
their a whole bunch of people who pre paid for
53:49
their homes and so they're already paying mortgage
53:51
but ever and ever since the homes and now
53:53
the rising up as or say why should we pay for a
53:55
home that was never delivered as is one
53:58
of my ticket zoom out because i think it's worth
54:01
we can focus or any one of these particular
54:04
that are happening and try and diagnose
54:06
him and i set them but if you zoom out a little bit
54:08
i think it paints
54:10
the more interesting picture over the last thirty
54:12
years right the chinese economy grew from three hundred
54:14
and eighteen billion
54:16
here in ninety ninety to ten and a half trillion
54:19
in add twenty twenty right incredible
54:21
growth gdp per capita
54:24
you know grew
54:26
it kind of in a in a similar aren't ratio
54:28
right now offering three don't eighteen
54:31
bucks per per cent of twelve thousand and five hundred
54:33
dollars and thirty years i mean really unprecedented the history
54:35
of humanity
54:36
china now accounts for twenty percent of global gdp
54:38
from less than two percent nice in added now
54:41
if you look at historically what drove that growth we'll
54:43
talk about manufacturing right manufacturing
54:45
cats for about a third of the economy
54:47
manufacturing as a sector with growing
54:49
in china twenty five percent year over year
54:52
in two thousand and eight the man only
54:55
grew six percent or twenty twenty two since
54:57
like basically
54:58
you know kind of reaching an all time low in
55:00
in recent years so that's historically been
55:02
the driver for growth of this economy and so much
55:04
of the year that that
55:07
the bargain between the people on the chinese
55:09
communist party has been keep giving
55:11
us a better life keep growing our economy
55:13
keep giving us more housing more stuff more food
55:15
more say see more security will support
55:17
the ccp and the challenge that the ccp
55:20
as having is that a lot of that growth
55:22
the core growth engine is starting to slow
55:24
the manufacturing of flowing then real
55:26
estate was growing it's a real estate accounts
55:28
for seven percent of
55:30
the chinese economy i've got a good start for you guys
55:32
here in two thousand
55:35
and five two hundred
55:37
and fifty million square meters a real estate
55:39
was sold in china into that be twenty
55:41
one one point five billion with sold
55:43
every year it's been incremental so the amount of
55:45
real estate that been produced and sold was increasing
55:47
like crazy
55:48
this year collapse
55:50
that's all it down like you know such as
55:52
to be about one point two five billion also the first
55:54
the climb in real estate building
55:56
and sales so that part of the driver of the
55:58
goal of the economy in china
55:59
now quietly and then the financial services
56:02
sector account for a percent
56:04
the economy and that's been growing because it's lebron
56:06
stop manufacturing and real estate and
56:08
all the capital that flown in all of which is slowing
56:10
down of stopping you know the city a trillion
56:13
dollars of assets in china generating
56:15
about seven hundred billion dollars of annual profits
56:17
for the financial services industry insurance
56:19
panting lending and so on so lot
56:21
of the conflict in the things are starting to
56:24
fall apart which may just be the tip
56:26
of the iceberg the function of a fundamentally
56:28
slowing economy the forecast
56:30
in the outlook for an economy that doesn't
56:33
have the drivers it's has historically
56:35
and things are starting to come off the wheels are starting to come
56:37
off of it so you know looks
56:39
the advantage they have is central planning
56:41
long term investments being able to kind
56:44
of be thoughtful about this but in order to do that there's
56:46
certainly going to be a need for the ccp
56:48
to keep people in line as some of
56:50
the long term that's hopefully play out for them as
56:53
they would say in order to do that they're
56:55
going to have lockdowns another sorts of mechanisms
56:57
of regulatory control over the
56:59
people but really this could be the beginning
57:01
of some of the unwinding and real concern
57:04
about your is there a poor economic
57:06
growth engine in china that can save
57:08
them and what what the i think all of this
57:11
if we look at what's happening the economy writ large
57:14
tomorrow
57:15
the global slowdown plus inflation
57:18
is now causing a stress test on every
57:20
country which sri lanka stress tests you
57:22
know showed us what's happening
57:24
with their farming issues and with corruption and
57:26
here in china
57:27
the stress test
57:28
i think you would agree showing what's going on
57:30
in terms of
57:32
the banking mortgage is real estate
57:35
and obviously this surging
57:37
middle class and what their expectations
57:40
of life are so what what's your take on what's happening
57:42
in china the and are they
57:45
it had his is
57:46
add up in terms of our rivalry
57:48
with them as our contemporary there
57:52
at a very macro level china has
57:54
one massive
57:57
massive massive problem which is what
57:59
of population
58:01
it's hard to get an accurate count
58:03
but it is and aggressively aging
58:05
population which was the result
58:08
of the one child
58:10
the one child policy for very long
58:12
time china has sort of been
58:14
on their heels trying to adapt that
58:16
policy really the
58:19
the last see the i saw i tweeted this out
58:21
to visit little while ago next or maybe have redefined
58:23
the my twitter feed but he was the protection
58:25
of china's population which essentially showed
58:27
a contrasting by almost fifty percent by
58:29
twenty one though
58:31
in an ellipse so it it that's a really really
58:34
bad situation now when you have
58:36
a slowing population then
58:38
the economy has to more
58:40
why
58:42
when you have a young population so for example
58:44
take what china was twenty years ago when it entered
58:46
the w t o for what
58:49
india is today when you have lots
58:51
and lots of young people's you can onramp
58:54
them into economically productive
58:56
activities like manufacturing
58:58
the problem and those folks accumulate
59:00
middle class income and wealth the
59:03
page out of those kinds of jobs succeeded
59:05
in america then what we seek
59:07
our services
59:08
the service level jobs
59:10
and you spend more money you spend
59:12
it is a different way so as populations
59:15
age your economy has to
59:17
turn over unless you have a large
59:19
bulwark of young people's
59:22
that is constantly growing to take
59:24
up
59:25
more the flat the economic sought
59:27
to pay for these folks
59:29
who have different lifestyles more savings
59:32
and different needs specifically healthcare that's
59:35
china's enormously big problem so
59:37
when you see them talking about six
59:39
percent gdp targets in you think how does
59:41
a country that big the even grow
59:43
as six percent because
59:45
here reverse engineering or
59:47
what they need to create economic
59:49
vibrancy in that can the
59:52
when you start to look at two percent which in america uses
59:54
percent strength we would like
59:57
to hide fighting each other for to presents
59:59
not a sustainable level of growth for what's
1:00:02
happening inside the country it did not
1:00:04
create enough of expansion economically
1:00:07
the cover all these folks that is a really really biggest
1:00:10
the as a hobby
1:00:12
i think what we need to do is figure
1:00:15
out how to be competitive dot this was all believe
1:00:17
that for first conversation subsidies
1:00:20
don't make us more competitor things
1:00:23
that governments can do to make us more competitive
1:00:26
our long term drawn
1:00:28
out tax incentives
1:00:31
that change the earnings capacity
1:00:33
of companies
1:00:34
why because in the capital markets
1:00:36
reward those businesses you
1:00:39
can you just mentioned it why is the chinese
1:00:41
capital markets in difficulty nobody
1:00:44
knows the long term earnings
1:00:46
how do you forecasted it's not simple anymore
1:00:49
it's not a model
1:00:50
but an interest rate is not a discounted said
1:00:52
a cast
1:00:53
the
1:00:54
so that's how they
1:00:57
need to be factor themselves they need to have
1:00:59
a much larger population if you don't have
1:01:01
that you have to figure out how to do with immigration
1:01:04
if you don't have that china
1:01:06
has done is they've tried to go to southeast
1:01:08
asia africa they
1:01:10
try to create that synthetic
1:01:12
form
1:01:13
the growing pyramid
1:01:15
right
1:01:17
now that and work as long as the
1:01:19
balance sheet of the country supports that
1:01:21
because ultimately you're still talking about moving
1:01:23
money offshore
1:01:24
okay
1:01:25
the i think you're in a little bit of it they're they're a
1:01:27
pretty difficult spot
1:01:29
the most difficult spot as when they put that she
1:01:31
put them in if you get rid of entrepreneurship
1:01:33
if you get rid of high growth companies
1:01:36
that creepy opportunity on a global scale
1:01:38
and then you you know take dd
1:01:40
off the public markets you don't let
1:01:42
education companies become public
1:01:44
or he in you basically get rid of their little
1:01:47
co opting of capitalism and venture
1:01:49
capital their whole their whole society
1:01:51
is gonna be com slow growth and slow
1:01:54
growth in a country that doesn't
1:01:56
have safety nets is really dangerous sacks your thoughts
1:01:58
in terms of competition the america he
1:02:01
of the okay we get to the the consciousness second
1:02:03
to supply what's more said the are the birth
1:02:05
rate that were fertility rate in china
1:02:07
slip to just one point one five
1:02:10
in twenty twenty one so last
1:02:12
year it takes two point one does to
1:02:14
maintain your population a replacement level though
1:02:17
and this is lower than even japan which is
1:02:19
also shrinking the conservatives about one point three
1:02:22
the u s australia one point six but we get
1:02:24
about two point one because of immigration
1:02:26
and china's nasa
1:02:28
so they've got a huge demographic prompts
1:02:30
moss point it's gonna be something like
1:02:33
the population is shrinking by forty percent
1:02:35
with every generation that's what these numbers employ
1:02:37
insane the numbers are is can be under six
1:02:40
hundred million by the you're twenty one hundred but i would
1:02:42
i'd arse and i would even be less than that if
1:02:44
it keeps going at this rate
1:02:47
so there and the the the commentator peter
1:02:49
a the han has i know
1:02:51
that's right with us and peter zion
1:02:54
or something anyway he's point out that
1:02:57
china is facing demographic collapse the
1:02:59
next decade or so on top of that what
1:03:02
you're saying jason the you god
1:03:04
damn z emphasizing mouse
1:03:06
economics cbc says he thinks that the
1:03:08
chinese economy
1:03:09
again he stresses that the for
1:03:12
those characteristics and
1:03:14
he sees you bring back
1:03:16
that's sort of com is a the algae to their economy
1:03:18
and they basically
1:03:20
really crack down on entrepreneurship
1:03:22
and that are capital is really a cellphone
1:03:25
i mean they've moved away from the policies
1:03:27
are made them so successful yarmouth of last
1:03:29
forty years of our top of that you got
1:03:31
this debt crisis miss housing crisis so
1:03:33
it really looks like the deck is stacked against all
1:03:36
them and you're asking what does this mean for us
1:03:38
well i think depends on whether you look at economically
1:03:41
or geopolitically as if you look at it economically
1:03:44
they say that is bad for us because our to economies
1:03:47
are economically linked does
1:03:49
lot of dependency they've evolved together
1:03:51
for a long period of types and their
1:03:54
if china has a collapse
1:03:57
there that there are so big now that
1:03:59
that's gonna have
1:03:59
i don't global repercussions there's gonna
1:04:02
be contagious
1:04:03
the truth is if you look at a geopolitically
1:04:06
and geopolitics is more of us you're at
1:04:08
the balance of powers a zero sum game jobs
1:04:10
can be opposes some day but the bowels
1:04:12
of hours of is that we are pauses some dates
1:04:15
or you'd have to say is good for us because the reason
1:04:17
why china has become such a threat this
1:04:19
because of it's growing economy
1:04:22
over the last forty years the up and looked at
1:04:24
me what they've done with a been doing the
1:04:26
last decade or so is translating their
1:04:28
economic might into military might
1:04:31
that is given them the capability
1:04:33
to now threaten their
1:04:36
neighbors to become more belligerent
1:04:38
the bc well the sabre against taiwan
1:04:41
the and if they're gross the if
1:04:43
they're impressive economic growth continues
1:04:45
for the last couple decades as as as until now
1:04:48
there's no question that they would they
1:04:51
will basically try to assert thera
1:04:53
germany over east asia
1:04:55
the and taiwan will be as useless
1:04:57
boy but is also
1:04:58
flash points in the
1:05:00
try to see with japan over the the
1:05:02
definitely do i want to do that so fado
1:05:04
if their economy not growing better have the bankroll
1:05:06
to do it they're going to have to look inward
1:05:08
and say hey we got a six these domestic problems getting
1:05:10
a people stop protesting the streets we need
1:05:12
to have this middle class is demanding of
1:05:14
jobs
1:05:15
the great news for what happened in china
1:05:18
and i think this is why the people there
1:05:20
very happy is the number of people living
1:05:22
in poverty has plummeted you know when they started
1:05:24
tracking the state in the eighties yeah
1:05:26
i'm a high ninety percent of people were living
1:05:28
in extreme poverty poverty ninety nine percent of
1:05:30
people were in poverty on the on the global
1:05:33
definition of it and now you know it's
1:05:35
just plummeted to you know couple one hundred
1:05:38
the people so
1:05:39
the couple of charger here by just in
1:05:42
the data is obviously it's very hard to understand
1:05:44
what's going in china because a lot of it is opaque
1:05:46
the number of people on a percentage basis living
1:05:49
in poverty has gone and now the number people
1:05:51
who are in the middle class has surged
1:05:53
the create another dynamic those people want to
1:05:55
have a great life they want better jobs be
1:05:57
don't want to work in factories they wanna have a a
1:05:59
more in
1:05:59
commission based economy and and in a in a better
1:06:02
job than sixty hours a week in a in
1:06:04
a factory that's why they move in the factories
1:06:06
to african other places i mean i to
1:06:08
utter of that's absolutely true i think that
1:06:10
china's manufacturing sector his
1:06:12
arm
1:06:13
the aiming to have also you
1:06:15
know china has
1:06:17
about three million factories or manufacturing
1:06:20
facilities throughout the country
1:06:22
employing about one hundred and twelve million people
1:06:25
the us has about three hundred thousand factories
1:06:27
import employing about twelve and a half million
1:06:29
people
1:06:30
the output of our factories there
1:06:34
about seventy percent
1:06:36
the output of
1:06:38
china factories or a
1:06:40
napkin aggregate sorry the total up production
1:06:42
output of all the factories so we have
1:06:45
very high value
1:06:47
outputs coming out of our factories in high leverage
1:06:50
china is observing and obviously
1:06:52
recognizes that there's an opportunity probably
1:06:55
you evolve their manufacturing capacity
1:06:58
the be higher library higher value output
1:07:01
so there is going to be you know from the long
1:07:03
range perspective planning
1:07:05
an investment in technology that allows
1:07:07
those factories to be com
1:07:09
much more sophisticated and create
1:07:11
much more higher value products moving out from what
1:07:13
is effectively just cheap labor putting
1:07:15
things together in an assembly plant the
1:07:18
new things like additive manufacturing preventing
1:07:21
the automated manufacturing by a manufacturing
1:07:23
etc
1:07:24
and i think this is particularly
1:07:27
i'm gonna be realized because china
1:07:30
announced that they're building four hundred nuclear
1:07:32
power plants that props the cost
1:07:34
of electricity
1:07:35
the under five cents a kilowatt hour
1:07:38
in the us manufacturing com
1:07:40
is electricity typically cost around
1:07:42
eleven cents per kilowatt hour tops as for toward
1:07:44
our in that range so if saturday
1:07:47
become much more automated they set to
1:07:49
become a function of the price of what for city
1:07:51
terms of what they can output china's gonna have a
1:07:53
huge advantage as these nuclear power plants
1:07:55
come on line over the next couple of decades
1:07:58
and it's facilities get upgraded so the
1:08:00
plan right remember the sea level at an
1:08:02
in the the wii map atlanta's there there there
1:08:04
is there's a question of do
1:08:06
they get there fast enough to drive
1:08:09
economic growth that actually supports
1:08:11
all these other industries like real estate finance and he
1:08:13
became critically dependent on because those industries
1:08:16
only work if is the core economic
1:08:18
driver core economic engine that's working here
1:08:20
that energy infrastructure this new manufacturing
1:08:23
infrastructure these are things that
1:08:25
by the way they seem do really
1:08:28
effectively because they're not working and for your and
1:08:30
six your political fargo
1:08:31
they can take a five ten and
1:08:33
thirty your outlook and make i make a plan
1:08:36
and and and investigates it's what they did for
1:08:38
nike allentown him out but they're certainly
1:08:40
lot of challenges they're facing run out of the big question mark
1:08:42
right now what's gonna happen
1:08:44
in it to your point
1:08:46
factories in china
1:08:48
are you know factory workers getting paid over six
1:08:50
bucks an hour now in vietnam three in
1:08:52
india even less
1:08:53
that's why you're seeing a lot of folks other
1:08:55
of your seen in your portfolio spot
1:08:58
in a lot of folks looking at india vietnam and
1:09:00
moving factories there and obviously japan has
1:09:03
been incentivizing to do
1:09:05
not have any values their manufacturing edge
1:09:07
the not just gonna say we give our blood blood ever
1:09:09
going to be among the going to try to upgrade the capability of of
1:09:12
yeah sorry than say instead of just
1:09:13
putting together you know parts from
1:09:16
with six dollar an hour of human labor let's
1:09:18
start to do the more sophisticated to them sleep
1:09:20
over the next car that turns his but what
1:09:22
happens this factor workers if they've been automated out
1:09:24
what do you do with hundreds of millions of people working in factories
1:09:27
who now have been turned his robots and
1:09:29
then if they're going to be a name for it the answer is information
1:09:31
economy
1:09:32
mean information economy any venture capital
1:09:34
and you need new companies to street
1:09:36
those jobs and they just kill them
1:09:38
though at our know what strategy she is
1:09:41
pursuing here but it seems like a bad one we could talk
1:09:43
about this on at length but arm
1:09:45
we were going to bring this up but you're generally speaking
1:09:48
the technology drives productivity gains
1:09:51
but it's for it's deflationary
1:09:53
wait what that means on in like a practical
1:09:55
sense maybe
1:09:57
you know that the technology what
1:09:59
is a
1:09:59
then they that you have been here bunch of people to
1:10:02
make a t shirt
1:10:03
i met a machine and felt that makes a t shirt
1:10:05
the cost of a t circle down one
1:10:07
machine can just sent out one hundred t shirts
1:10:09
an hour where that would take five people
1:10:12
you know ten hours to make oh center t shirts or whatever
1:10:14
that's right so a technology of i'm
1:10:16
a pattern emerges the know
1:10:18
people are now theoretically out of jobs
1:10:20
that would end up happening is those people transition
1:10:23
into new jobs that didn't exist before
1:10:26
and we end up see higher order work take place
1:10:28
think about the the world two hundred years
1:10:30
ago
1:10:31
you think we would have had any concept
1:10:34
of people being uber drivers or
1:10:36
people
1:10:37
i you know creating crafts and sewing them on
1:10:39
etsy
1:10:40
or to direct contact with people
1:10:43
being you are passengers or yogurt
1:10:45
the or yeah yoga teacher and therapists
1:10:47
oh well they got off on the ceiling
1:10:49
fans or dog walkers or all of
1:10:52
these i'm be service businesses
1:10:55
or you know industries that simply did
1:10:57
not exist before and so the labour
1:10:59
that those that that was presented to the population
1:11:02
was involved in historically has gone away
1:11:05
because it's been automated as that automation is
1:11:07
hop and it's allowed higher order
1:11:09
services job to emerge and that will
1:11:11
be the progressive of humanity forever
1:11:13
i will tell you guys i'm i was going to mention
1:11:15
as have you guys play the solitaire
1:11:18
the other day on yes sir i got
1:11:20
bought the log in our third my brother in law was visiting
1:11:22
we are playing solitaire and making funny
1:11:24
to exploit it is am so so dolly
1:11:27
to is developed by open a eyes
1:11:30
we , know sam altman he's been leading that organization
1:11:32
to great effect over the last couple years and
1:11:35
than what they're doing is they they basically scammed
1:11:37
the web for images taliban and then
1:11:39
applied you know i receive
1:11:41
learning you
1:11:44
notice to basically allow natural
1:11:46
language creation images
1:11:49
from scratch to be a i can generate an image
1:11:51
and you can go to you know dot the internet
1:11:53
look at have been cities but the imagery incredible
1:11:56
i mean business the creative output what
1:11:58
what feels like clint about that from the system
1:12:01
where you just say hey you know make me
1:12:03
an image of for died during a podcast
1:12:05
on zoom in the style of and
1:12:07
off and across it's this is is that
1:12:10
is unique has never been created or seen on earth
1:12:12
before and is a function of the on
1:12:14
the learning that's been done and neural networks that
1:12:16
to develop as a i that and that can create
1:12:19
not novel stuff is really amazing
1:12:21
and i started to think about what what are the implications
1:12:24
for this over time think about you know
1:12:26
in the original movie ben hur and thirty
1:12:28
dollars would have cost a billion dollars to make
1:12:31
they had thousands of people tend to thousand
1:12:33
people on that said it in years to make people
1:12:35
science as they can only make
1:12:37
one film it was incredible
1:12:40
feat in an effort that's what movie making
1:12:42
his you know i'm still today
1:12:44
their thirties of people know what did you
1:12:46
could speak to the eye and say make photo realistic
1:12:49
you know jason and some off having a
1:12:51
battle on a field in the middle of nowhere
1:12:53
an hour airplane flies over and
1:12:56
you can instruct the ai me a i can generate
1:12:58
photo realistic visuals audio
1:13:01
the a i can even generate scripts and then
1:13:03
narrative for you aren't it's really
1:13:05
sets the chains the role of the creator of the director
1:13:08
the director is no longer doing this they will have to
1:13:10
get a stiff rice make the perfect ninety minutes
1:13:12
and then line up all the money and all the people to do that
1:13:14
work on a plan on that program they
1:13:16
can be much more intuitive and it could be much more creative
1:13:19
on the flight agree to our movie by
1:13:21
speaking to the ice and then added the
1:13:23
movie by speaking to be i changed the
1:13:25
actors change the color change the voices
1:13:27
saints the music to speaking to a
1:13:29
i degenerate creative output and
1:13:31
people will consume that output i
1:13:33
think it's amazing to think about what creators
1:13:35
one of doing ten years from now as a
1:13:38
i any to proliferate and you see version
1:13:40
twelve of this which has risen to and
1:13:42
would present twelve might enable and so
1:13:44
the role of on the number of people but didn't
1:13:46
do that job goes on steven spielberg
1:13:49
and the mecca for a few other people
1:13:51
to suddenly thousands or tens of thousands
1:13:53
of people around the world making incredible movies
1:13:55
as a by we're sally's image was
1:13:58
pull it up of four guys don't apart
1:13:59
so i that we have a ways to go but
1:14:02
yeah that is for guys to the podcast this
1:14:04
also suggests also i mean and to your
1:14:06
point like is you know this is going to brazil
1:14:08
has a , of people ago the
1:14:10
civil rights are graphic designers as the going to wipe
1:14:12
out the gas industries but the reality
1:14:14
is the rules that those people are in today
1:14:17
will absolutely be gone but they will
1:14:19
emerge and evolve into new roles that we never even
1:14:21
thought imaginable bill has really frame for
1:14:23
med industry and societies and this is going
1:14:25
to be true across everywhere that ai such as yes
1:14:27
and i knew there are a threat of mine
1:14:29
us as china sense of their technology in
1:14:32
manufacturing you'll see those in a new markets
1:14:34
have authored to mecca
1:14:35
designers will have less lovers to ask for
1:14:37
all the stupid snacks in offices
1:14:39
of startup suffer if , mean it
1:14:42
you need only look at designers are the worse
1:14:44
my god god father bestseller
1:14:46
bandmates in the nineteen forties
1:14:48
nineteen mean we were there were literally hundreds of thousands
1:14:51
of telephone operators thousands of
1:14:54
and home and they're all gone now and not
1:14:56
only that have you ever met a designer the
1:14:58
didn't take themselves incredibly seriously
1:15:00
that didn't have like
1:15:02
you know t that they would only have a bad one
1:15:04
you know viewed wasn't exactly where i certainly
1:15:07

1:16:02
we eat a bowl of pasta but as long
1:16:05
as , some closing closer than we end up
1:16:07
as a num num num then move on
1:16:09
to
1:16:10
we want to go blackrock has lost
1:16:13
one point seven trillion
1:16:15
dollars is six months
1:16:18
vc funding is down
1:16:20
or amazon acquires one
1:16:22
medical for three point nine billion which
1:16:24
which one do we want to go to next anybody have a favorite here
1:16:27
sexy been a look quite yet when you want to go to we
1:16:30
get out why foxman this is a large
1:16:32
sums of money was facing a farm over six month
1:16:34
period in history blackrock eyes
1:16:36
the world's largest asset manager
1:16:38
and it was the first from
1:16:40
to break ten trillion dollars in a
1:16:42
you i'm assets under management not
1:16:44
right now they're at a point four trillion twenty
1:16:46
twenty two ranks as the worst start in fifty
1:16:49
years for both stocks and bonds chairman and chief executive
1:16:51
officer larson said on his earnings call
1:16:53
the end of june only about a quarter of it's assets
1:16:55
were
1:16:56
actively managed
1:16:57
you beat a benchmark rather than track it seamlessly
1:17:00
as passive charges are designed to do firms
1:17:02
passive equity holdings are now ten times
1:17:04
larger than it's active holdings although it does
1:17:06
operates on active multi asset
1:17:08
an alternate charges that narrow the gap
1:17:12
latin bond market this year has shaken money out
1:17:14
of
1:17:14
after fixed income funds lists i
1:17:16
think there's less than meets the eye here with as
1:17:18
i think this is a headline that was
1:17:21
trying to grab attention by saying biggest last
1:17:23
ever lox the reason why was the biggest loss
1:17:25
ever is because block rock is
1:17:27
so big i mean and and what is box
1:17:29
basically this point there index funds three
1:17:32
to yasser index biased they does represent
1:17:34
market indices though
1:17:36
yeah the reason why it went down one point
1:17:38
seven trillion as good as started with and trillionths
1:17:41
yeah the average indexes down seventy
1:17:43
percent that's all it means we know this
1:17:45
the snp five understand twenty percent
1:17:47
way to present for the year of the dow jones
1:17:49
down fifteen s dad nasdaq
1:17:52
is down like thirty so this is
1:17:54
just reflecting while we already know which is at the stock
1:17:56
market is down the sir
1:17:57
do you think it's another i'm
1:17:59
the point the support the idea
1:18:02
that active managers generally
1:18:04
speaking a maybe holistically speaking
1:18:06
over time cannot be be
1:18:09
the not a market canopied indices
1:18:11
medium a point of you're not have an investor such
1:18:15
well i think you know your time our public market investors
1:18:18
are the inferiority about i did a very
1:18:20
hard to beat the public
1:18:22
markets
1:18:24
over a long period of time consistently
1:18:27
i think it is now
1:18:28
the contradiction though is if you have no
1:18:31
active managers
1:18:34
then the ensues will be a person anymore so
1:18:36
you need
1:18:37
the participation of the active managers to help
1:18:39
drive
1:18:40
the ah the indices and make corrections
1:18:43
do it so and if you're active strategies
1:18:45
you have
1:18:46
the more in a person the market will become thereby
1:18:49
inviting after strategy so you
1:18:52
know i'd i'd it's a good question i i think there are
1:18:54
some managers who are you can probably
1:18:56
do it but i think very tough thing to do tomorrow
1:18:58
when you figure it
1:19:00
public and after active what
1:19:03
doors
1:19:04
eleven eight years and a here i've added seeking
1:19:06
a lot about this i
1:19:08
think that i have
1:19:10
this proportionately benefited
1:19:13
from being at the right place at the right time
1:19:16
that to by enormous amounts of central
1:19:18
bank oh
1:19:20
so i think we all have been
1:19:23
i think it is very difficult
1:19:25
the be a public markets individual stock
1:19:28
picker
1:19:29
in a world where the central banks
1:19:32
the constantly meddling
1:19:35
because one they do
1:19:37
the best thing that you can do
1:19:39
be long the market beta
1:19:42
the more concentrated you are the better
1:19:44
returns you would have delivered
1:19:47
since two thousand and eight when the central
1:19:49
banks started to get very aggressively
1:19:52
when individuals thought pickers rains
1:19:55
the the universe when
1:19:57
central banks were largely on the sidelines
1:19:59
the
1:20:00
so there was all kinds of dispersion
1:20:03
right dispersion meaning
1:20:05
good outcomes bad outcomes lots
1:20:07
of elsa right meaning
1:20:09
the your performance was independence
1:20:11
of the mark but
1:20:13
since two thousand and eight largely
1:20:16
been beta that's true it in the market the
1:20:18
folks that have done exceedingly well with
1:20:20
those syntax because we delivered the best
1:20:23
paid
1:20:24
and every time we confuse alpha
1:20:27
and beta we get over ski
1:20:29
tips
1:20:30
and there's always some pick out the know
1:20:33
blow up
1:20:35
though i think my my my general take away his a
1:20:38
if the central bank stay on the sidelines
1:20:42
individual start taking rains an
1:20:44
active management can win
1:20:46
they continue to be involved and
1:20:49
do quantitative easing and all of this other stuff
1:20:51
index funds
1:20:54
that are long concentrated market beta
1:20:56
will always have performed in along
1:20:59
i was watching warren buffett answer some
1:21:01
questions and one of the questions
1:21:04
and it's goes to the law big numbers like black rock
1:21:07
he was say listen
1:21:08
the reason i did better earlier in my career
1:21:11
and later in my career on a percentage basis
1:21:13
is because i was placing had a small
1:21:15
amount of capital that i was basing it on
1:21:17
smaller best
1:21:18
smaller ideas and themes
1:21:21
and then as i had a bigger ships that i had to
1:21:23
find bigger ideas to put more money
1:21:25
to work and therefore more people
1:21:27
were looking at those and so those assets
1:21:29
were not undervalued and
1:21:31
so i saw mad very like
1:21:34
insightful in terms of when
1:21:37
you participate in the market if you're trying
1:21:39
to pick between very large bats
1:21:41
like co two and tpg and
1:21:44
tiger were doing in the growth spacex
1:21:47
like now everybody knows that
1:21:49
these com but everybody know strikes a winner everybody
1:21:51
knew air b be an uber were winners he
1:21:53
on the later the private everybody knew facebook was facebook
1:21:55
winner leases prime mortgage if you're battling that
1:21:57
out
1:21:58
you know yuri milner
1:21:59
is gonna come over the top and pay two billion more
1:22:02
than you are you must yoshi sounds going to pay
1:22:04
five or ten billion dollars more than you
1:22:06
where is the alpha there we know where where
1:22:08
is the game
1:22:09
in the sea
1:22:11
okay there you go ahead and so
1:22:13
they were playing a different game and i
1:22:15
that's a i started trading this past
1:22:17
two weeks because i've never traded public socks
1:22:19
and i wanted to added as a skillset saw by
1:22:21
put a couple million bucks into
1:22:23
in account and i'm just tried to actively
1:22:26
figure out how did value warfare
1:22:28
and
1:22:30
the i'm just starting to be trades that i want to hold for ten or
1:22:32
twenty years and will see if i can beat the market
1:22:34
that that's the other thing is what do you want to spend your life doing
1:22:36
is the index
1:22:38
the to put money in a passive index
1:22:40
not do any work while you
1:22:42
know that attractive as well so sacks what
1:22:44
it what do you think in terms of active management
1:22:46
the only public market
1:22:48
and the size of the best
1:22:50
the have to my i said i the is very hard to beat the
1:22:52
market consistently the
1:22:54
is a very tough profession i'm i'm sure there
1:22:57
are people who can do it but
1:22:59
i don't know if it's easy to predict to those people
1:23:01
are so the guy
1:23:03
to europe i think it's something
1:23:06
that can be done but i to see
1:23:08
it's a tough tough game i mean what we
1:23:10
do as private investors is a little different
1:23:12
right because not everybody is
1:23:14
in a position to buy shares
1:23:16
right as are not available to you don't even know the company
1:23:19
access a limited and information is limited
1:23:21
and in exchange for that
1:23:23
sort of preferential access
1:23:25
that we get the we have say have to do
1:23:27
work
1:23:28
one when europe when yeah well you're republic investor
1:23:31
in a company disney or whatever you don't do any
1:23:33
work you're not involved in all we do a lot of work
1:23:35
for the companies and that's why they choose us so
1:23:38
it's not you know as you're not getting us
1:23:40
the whole world
1:23:41
the public markets are so competitive are
1:23:43
you tempted though looking at these prices
1:23:45
and prison i was looking at a company that
1:23:47
was trading at fifty times revenue last
1:23:50
year the racing again they double their revenue
1:23:52
said other at twenty twenty five times revenue
1:23:54
they're raising a less has violated and that
1:23:56
i looked at the public markets and they're hurting a success
1:23:59
the
1:23:59
i'm like wait a second and at the opposite hundred
1:24:02
year old growth rate below the the or another first
1:24:04
i was straight through the birth in this example
1:24:06
was three times that greater
1:24:08
than the public market com so how would you assess that
1:24:10
them we're seeing right now
1:24:12
is a pretty good sized companies that
1:24:15
are growing me or maybe on a trailing basis
1:24:17
agrees reaction your prospectively the
1:24:19
growing call it to aphex armed they're
1:24:21
trading right now not trading but
1:24:23
basically deals are getting done at twenty
1:24:26
times a or or twenty we jr
1:24:28
this year's current run rate year
1:24:30
the current a are are good at getting that
1:24:32
like boat is like here's your projected next year we're
1:24:34
going to give it based on the buses current now
1:24:36
know currency or are is about twenty
1:24:39
twenty two twenty three times a are are
1:24:41
down somewhat last year of hundred it
1:24:43
was like hundred times was the rule some so now
1:24:46
there are some where there are
1:24:48
your deals are getting done in high twenties as a
1:24:50
or even sorry if there if you believe
1:24:52
that by the end of the year it'll be more like twenty
1:24:55
know but i i think the new
1:24:57
levels are landing at twenty
1:25:00
twenty something times there
1:25:02
are now what does that make sense voltage
1:25:04
the public's as companies walls like
1:25:06
you said
1:25:07
the fashion that was trading at roughly six times
1:25:10
spurs only twenty percent average growth
1:25:12
right and so you know jarring
1:25:14
about certain times the growth rate
1:25:17
i'm a guy gross us companies are pretty at
1:25:19
like seven times
1:25:21
that's more like a forty percent growth
1:25:24
which not yes before so listen if you're
1:25:26
tripling year over year and you pay twenty
1:25:28
times they'll be a sometimes next year if
1:25:30
you're going to to and have three ads
1:25:32
next year does way faster so
1:25:34
see i think there's actually an arbitrage there i mean
1:25:36
this is why we'd like
1:25:38
doing private sauce investing right now deals
1:25:40
are getting done i will say that the people
1:25:42
who i'm seeing who are really struggling a free
1:25:45
berg are the people who
1:25:46
didn't turn on a job at the very early stage they didn't turn
1:25:49
on revenue
1:25:50
they were making progress
1:25:52
in team building and culture and
1:25:54
features
1:25:55
they just weren't focus on the revenue side
1:25:58
and my lord
1:25:59
the
1:25:59
got a lot of credit and mean fifty million hundred
1:26:02
million dollar evaluations without the revenue turned
1:26:04
on
1:26:05
the and that that now they're faced
1:26:07
with not being able to raise money for saw
1:26:11
what are you seeing on your side for a bargain terms of java
1:26:14
and private markets
1:26:15
yeah it's and ranking money you
1:26:18
have to raise money for your company set of the
1:26:20
hot easy oh hang
1:26:22
on packet with nine own well
1:26:25
one of the conversations like give us the anecdotal
1:26:27
information i've seen a number
1:26:29
of term seats get pulled so i
1:26:31
think oh really yeah we've heard a lot about
1:26:35
the company that kind of during the
1:26:37
que one only que to
1:26:40
the timeframe had term sheets
1:26:42
were closing that the laid out
1:26:45
and there's a number
1:26:47
of
1:26:48
examples of repricing
1:26:51
the electric comeback markets have changed lottery
1:26:53
pricing
1:26:54
or hey we're
1:26:56
not going to do this deal anymore words and sit on the sidelines
1:26:59
and wait on the market settled
1:27:00
or are alp he's actually on send a
1:27:02

1:27:28
and so when an lp
1:27:30

1:27:39
the on
1:27:40
you're going to say okay i'm in a kennel listen to that right
1:27:42
now now that the bigger
1:27:44
issues and series d c and d
1:27:46
companies you
1:27:48
know how can a attraction have
1:27:50
some performance have raised the a bunch of capital of done
1:27:52
a bunch of work investors don't know
1:27:54
what they're worth the like a little more
1:27:56
twenty five million a hundred twenty nine thousand nine
1:27:59
lol
1:27:59
there you could raise money five hundred million i
1:28:02
mean look at what happened with one of those kinda things
1:28:04
the crypto trading platform same race five
1:28:07
hundred million dollars last to live and
1:28:09
they just sold the business for reported twenty five
1:28:11
million dollars
1:28:12
after being valued a five billion a year ago
1:28:15
the current might have been more like two hundred seventy
1:28:17
five million yeah we don't subdued about
1:28:19
got laid off and as a bit but series
1:28:21
series a people seem to be pretty active again
1:28:24
and again but the prices now
1:28:26
for see around here but if someone
1:28:28
is happening for six to sixteen series a
1:28:30
is happening fifteen to twenty five it's a lot
1:28:32
easier to get a deal done in a series a because people
1:28:35
say hey look i'm i'm give you this okay
1:28:37
okay i'll take it i need the money series b c
1:28:39
and d is where there's this whole fight because there's existing
1:28:42
investors existing shareholders who
1:28:44
are thing i don't want to take a fifty percent right down
1:28:46
to seventy percent right down a thirty percent right
1:28:48
out over the last round and fighting him and
1:28:50
doing inside rounds and bridge notes and
1:28:52
also some other sin and against to not have to
1:28:54
take a negative miles o'clock now
1:28:57
we're on one things that aren't was his and see
1:28:59
here is that com
1:29:01
you think about like where the option years in the market right
1:29:03
now and one of
1:29:05
things that happened in the boom as a iran got pushed
1:29:07
to go earlier and earlier because deals were so competitive
1:29:10
and so you know in the sas business
1:29:12
normally one million of a are are was
1:29:14
concerned the rule of thumb for getting a series for
1:29:16
basic graduating to series a that
1:29:19
you're ready to go from sea to series a win
1:29:21
a million of iraq as we know
1:29:23
during the boom last year that
1:29:25
number kept going down yeah yeah five
1:29:27
hundred s three hundred thousand then
1:29:30
you see crazy deals get down there were pre
1:29:32
revenue a price of one hundred last
1:29:34
we never the name of times the author with saddam
1:29:36
lazy butts they definitely are but
1:29:38
well the dynamic now witches
1:29:41
let's say that that sauce start up as
1:29:43
a million of a or are they can do a series a
1:29:45
assistance we can just wait
1:29:48
until they get a five minute of iraq
1:29:50
and then pay twenty times and do it in one hundred
1:29:52
free
1:29:53
would you those is a better risk the just returned
1:29:55
me tell you there's a lot of risk and
1:29:57
going from one million a are are to five million a year
1:29:59
hard know this is is our there's a lot
1:30:02
of things you're sorry i'm here you're just you're not
1:30:04
even going through the founders selling the
1:30:06
i you need to sort scaling a team you need
1:30:08
a real sales capacity but also
1:30:10
a lot of start ups that to sorta
1:30:12
hacked together and cobble together one
1:30:14
million of a are are based on non
1:30:16
skillful techniques that various
1:30:18
started incubators teach like yoda
1:30:21
don't usually don't scale parents added
1:30:23
right inside his dad from zero
1:30:25
to one but not one to ten right
1:30:27
one for or it's it's not does not okay
1:30:30
is that it doesn't work right like you're not
1:30:32
able to cobble together five million of a or are
1:30:34
you normally other one know you have a or are you can use
1:30:36
the chico to get there so what i'm
1:30:38
saying is is want to risk and going from one to five
1:30:40
you find out whether the partially skills
1:30:42
so what is the better deal wait till
1:30:44
one hundred we talk peiser
1:30:46
one hundred one hundred twenty million free or during
1:30:49
the deal at forty to fifty now
1:30:51
if you'll love that if you love the company
1:30:53
you want to get a and as early as possible
1:30:55
yeah why i think you're in start see a dynamic
1:30:58
were in the same way that last year avoid
1:31:00
earlier and earlier you're going to cbc sort
1:31:02
of sit back and go a little later and later prove
1:31:04
it to us a dead man zone nobody
1:31:07
should be putting into deals with wondered why
1:31:11
what would it now unless unless way out is this
1:31:13
unless you're in the business of
1:31:15
running a fee generating machine if
1:31:17
you're really trying to generate alpha
1:31:20
you have to have a sense of what's actually
1:31:22
happening in the world
1:31:23
if you're just trying to deliver the market beta
1:31:26
and runner an index
1:31:28
yeah you're right you should ignore
1:31:30
the idea that there could be
1:31:33
more price adjustments
1:31:34
if you look at a public markets which is again
1:31:36
the ultimate terminal buyer they
1:31:39
have more cash than they ever had since
1:31:41
two thousand names which means
1:31:43
that there is no reason to buy
1:31:46
the talking about private companies it
1:31:48
home ultimately ends up in the public markets
1:31:50
and so is the public markets are saying
1:31:52
there is no reason to buy the stuff
1:31:55
it trickles down
1:31:57
the then the crossover investor who has
1:31:59
a public service this as you know what on
1:32:01
the public side i'm completely be wrists
1:32:03
and in cash on a private
1:32:06
side i'll just be a little bit more circumspect
1:32:08
and weight as david sent i'll just wait six
1:32:10
months input even more money
1:32:12
and later
1:32:13
the actually have a better iraq
1:32:15
then i'll make the same profit dollars then
1:32:18
the series b and c from who used to
1:32:20
see those deals that a crossover folks
1:32:23
like oh was you're waiting i
1:32:25
don't want to have to write a check to support
1:32:27
these folks my whole point was the had you mark
1:32:29
of the deal so i could raise a new fun
1:32:32
the road
1:32:33
and then that goes back to the series ace person
1:32:36
who's like whoa wait a minute you know the reason
1:32:38
i paid it at fifty pre with because i thought
1:32:40
you'd step in and buy it at one hundred
1:32:43
i wouldn't a slow down so all i'm saying
1:32:46
is i think that we are the
1:32:48
point of the cycle where constipation
1:32:50
setting and
1:32:52
this is why you're seeing such a down tic
1:32:54
and deal velocity and and dollars put the
1:32:57
this is a great advice i want everybody
1:32:59
take i'm going to take the opposite advice
1:33:02
and i'm going to do twice as many deals in the seeds
1:33:04
decades as everyone else but i encourage
1:33:06
every venture capitalists and see fun to take some off
1:33:08
advice i'm doing the opposite because
1:33:10
a five person company this is an advice
1:33:12
this is just the market observation i'm scale modern
1:33:14
observations i hope everybody takes that
1:33:17
as the truth because of what i'm seeing
1:33:19
is the founders who are raising
1:33:21
and were real businesses are so sharp
1:33:23
right now and so focused on costs
1:33:26
the profits
1:33:27
and what matters and they have eliminated
1:33:29
all the shit that doesn't there's a whole contingent
1:33:31
on or if you're seeing a sachs
1:33:33
they had one out of five one out of for that
1:33:36
are like i understand what's happening here and
1:33:38
i'm going to take advantage of this moment in time and i'm
1:33:40
going to just drive revenue and profit what happens
1:33:42
to the two hundred and sixty billion dollars
1:33:44
have been put to work in the last two years as need to get
1:33:47
approves yeah doesn't matter to me all i care
1:33:49
about as meeting young company that are grown with
1:33:51
revenue but i think there there's some different have a com
1:33:53
i don't have a conversation not
1:33:55
, that on that that's that lot
1:33:57
indigestion he added to have to cut their staffs by
1:33:59
if and get flexibility
1:34:01
ultimately the way that valuations
1:34:04
matter or price levels matter
1:34:06
is there's entry price and exit price
1:34:08
and ideally if you can timer right
1:34:10
you want to invest when dilation levels
1:34:12
are low and you want to exit
1:34:14
will i wish levels are high
1:34:16
if you were every see last
1:34:18
year user been realizing as much detail
1:34:20
because irish novels early aughts it was a good
1:34:23
or tweet by one of our
1:34:25
braggers his colleagues and ultimately we
1:34:27
saying she was talking to help ease and asking
1:34:29
what they care about
1:34:31
and what's your ported lps saying
1:34:33
that if you're a fondness more the five years old
1:34:35
and you'd industry it during the best
1:34:38
yep window ever which was two thousand
1:34:40
eight years he does twenty one it's a hard now
1:34:42
yeah we're not gonna be real thing with you i'll
1:34:44
save even more if you're if you're adventure
1:34:47
investors who took a longitudinal view
1:34:49
on public part of stocks and then
1:34:51
has now seen sixty to seventy percent writedowns
1:34:54
those same thought the you could have distributed
1:34:57
you still have something to answer to that
1:34:59
makes
1:35:02
the skill of private market investing
1:35:05
in the skill of public market investing
1:35:07
different even if all you're doing is delivering
1:35:09
the market beta it's still different
1:35:11
it has to to such as i can remember i was saying
1:35:13
should i distributes the shares of robin hood
1:35:15
should i hold them what to say be doing he told you
1:35:17
to disabuse that i distributed i'd submit everything
1:35:19
you know and ah and in terms
1:35:22
of secondary school pupils york a genius
1:35:24
now because you're lp to say thank you jesus
1:35:26
know of any sign of more say mad at what i
1:35:28
feel smart about i'll be honest is ah
1:35:30
we had advocate let us a bombing
1:35:32
of a number four to five times we were offered
1:35:34
the opportunity to trim our positions and secondary
1:35:37
with are winners from people
1:35:39
who wanted to buy second or shares i did it probably four
1:35:41
to five times that i'm kicking
1:35:43
myself at into the safe or i didn't ask
1:35:45
if they would take more because my god
1:35:48
we were able to clear some positions at very high
1:35:50
valuations that are now lower than that in a private
1:35:52
markets and send cast to our
1:35:54
lps and get are you know get over hurdles
1:35:57
in our first to fun
1:35:59
yeah
1:35:59
smart about i think that you should feel so
1:36:02
so good about that has set up set
1:36:04
is really hard what you did and i think people
1:36:06
underestimate how hard
1:36:08
it is it is really hard to actually
1:36:11
return more money than you have taken
1:36:13
yeah i mean that us and what i'm focused that
1:36:15
simple states the
1:36:18
and and by the way
1:36:20
it was hard in the last ten years
1:36:22
where we've had basically a massive upmarket
1:36:24
into four of us i think
1:36:26
we benefited from the extraordinary luck
1:36:29
of being attacked yeah not super
1:36:31
lucky i think the big thing that's going to happen right
1:36:33
now i'm seeing it all over the place is m an ai
1:36:35
biggest gonna set taking up to today amazon
1:36:37
acquired one medical for three point nine billion one
1:36:39
medical operates in our clinics if you don't know three
1:36:41
point nine billion dollar enterprise value for one hundred
1:36:43
and eighty two franchises which is twenty one
1:36:46
million of france as look at what happened
1:36:48
to their on what i'm rather surprised
1:36:50
nine or and from sixty in the peak
1:36:52
in february of twenty twenty one to
1:36:55
a seven in a and they
1:36:57
bought it made me basically water a price that
1:36:59
was training out in january know my point is
1:37:01
you could buy a mcdonalds franchise for two million
1:37:03
or you could buy the company that fixes the people
1:37:05
that needed mcdonalds for twenty one million swiping
1:37:07
up on me up by the way up at mcdonalds
1:37:09
you can't make money selling pharmaceuticals and
1:37:12
up selling you know other stuff
1:37:14
that amazon is going to
1:37:15
there are plenty of they were interesting knife or
1:37:17
the a super interesting that amazon getting into
1:37:20
this business
1:37:21
why army years and is it really immediately
1:37:23
they clearly have a and economic
1:37:25
model that says something
1:37:28
really healed and will sit and read your book
1:37:30
with wolves your enemy also be thought of
1:37:32
a supplement policy recall
1:37:34
kind of i played opportunity to synergy and this
1:37:36
or business and economic differences between
1:37:38
management myself what what they're getting
1:37:40
is also not just the physical location the
1:37:43
network of doctors that can you tell a house
1:37:45
or love you guys have every one medical but
1:37:47
they do you really are you know easy zoom
1:37:50
tele health services and so you can hop
1:37:52
on get a prescription haven't fulfilled
1:37:54
by amazon it shows up at your doorstep in under an hour
1:37:56
and it will it'll be an incredible citrusy for that
1:37:58
business and topic the real value driver
1:38:01
not just at the core units but with
1:38:03
rhythm of the other things sorted assaulted up your
1:38:05
one medical doctor will provision
1:38:07
a blood test
1:38:09
he or she will analyze as blood tests
1:38:11
over a tele help
1:38:13
they will prescribe a better die
1:38:15
that will be sent the whole foods the
1:38:17

1:38:34
ingrained and enmeshed in this
1:38:36
was this soup of amazon really about
1:38:39
at the end of the darryl is this little gifts and business
1:38:41

1:38:55
within a year after closing the deal
1:38:57
they're going to massively expand the tele
1:39:00
health footprint of up my medical hundred percent because
1:39:02
one medical had to go out and do customer acquisition
1:39:05
to go on acquire customers to make money
1:39:07
doing tele health services and they're spending
1:39:09
a thousand dollars probably cps to
1:39:11
acquire the customers don't want

1:39:37
knows how to get in the nitty gritty and the not simple
1:39:39
the operation the lengths
1:39:42
everyone was operation the it's really interesting that of the amazon
1:39:44
feel is that it was done with a those not at the helm
1:39:46
i think it really begs the question
1:39:48
and and bags and answer around or these guys
1:39:51
going to continue to innovate like this and i think right
1:39:53
now but juri say yes they are
1:39:55
going to continue to push the on the synergy
1:39:57
they can drive them as business by standing it's
1:39:59
and silver there are better than ten and industries
1:40:02
are at it's really impressive to see them doing this without
1:40:05
what are paid off running the day to day as
1:40:07
a shareholder i feel that ah so
1:40:09

1:40:53
bloomberg that these are going to get pinched
1:40:55
for insider trading all these tokens and
1:40:57
loan to hold on the wall street journal's three
1:41:00
guys i guess a guy a coin base
1:41:02
got tense for basically the
1:41:04
insider trading these token sales
1:41:07
the from running it by buying them
1:41:09
in his wallet and stuff so are
1:41:11
you going to rely on others that
1:41:16
, of the thousands of
1:41:18
dollars per job seattle mister
1:41:20
nice mister usually there's usually lot
1:41:22
going to give it to us now i mean
1:41:25
i told everybody like if it's a sick
1:41:27
if it smells like a security people are buying it for that
1:41:29
reason for it to appreciate don't be surprised if the fcc
1:41:32
you know our starts having tips dropped on them
1:41:34
that different vc firms in cahoots
1:41:37

1:41:39
liquidating their positions we talked about liquid in positions
1:41:42
as being the goal of venture cap
1:41:44
it created a shadow economy next to
1:41:46
securities law and said we're going to say
1:41:48
liquid enemies things

gets ten
1:41:58
he if you decide
1:41:59
you're going to talk yourself into this
1:42:02
is not a security
1:42:03
the know it kind of feels like one that's on
1:42:05
you
1:42:06
that's on you at the person buying the tokens
1:42:09
issuing the tokens giving the legal
1:42:11
brief on the tokens i think people suspended disbelief
1:42:13
and talk themselves into thinking they
1:42:15
weren't trading securities i think the se see
1:42:17
now that every lost their money
1:42:19
the gonna just
1:42:21
you got one from after another and
1:42:23
