AI, Nvidia, Crypto, Politics, and Padel

[Part 1 of 9] [David] [00:00] We would be eight [David] [00:04] We've issued $8 billion worth of digital credit this year. And the most successful IPO of the year was stretch, it's STRC, it was two and a half billion dollars. I couldn't have done any of it without AI. If if we had not had AI, we would be $8 billion less. We five IPOs, none of them would have happened because I used the AI to design the securities and solve all the tax problems and all the securities law issues. You know, so I like I'm a big believer in using AI to design new things. And look, I'm just I I focus upon digital credit and security, but there's someone there thinking about how to make the car drive and cure cancer and like like aren't there like 100 million problems the human race has to solve that we that you like, well, you're going to need a thousand people with PhDs to solve that. Well, guess what? Now every 16-year-old has a thousand PhDs at their fingertips and so I'm very bullish. The world's going to be a much better place and and we're going to see an age of empowerment and and abundance because of the digital technology. [Guest: Landy] [01:15] People are greedy when they also try to acquire gold. [David] [01:18] Not really. I mean, people who buy gold are trying to preserve. [Guest: Landy] [01:20] We have centuries. We have centuries of people being greedy to go ahead and acquire gold. [David] [01:26] Well, no, well, you're talking about to acquire wealth. Yes, people are greedy in that they want they want more things and there's nothing wrong with that. But when they're converting what they've earned into gold, that's not the greed part. That's the preservation part. I I I I've earned all this money because I was greedy. Now I don't want to lose it. I want to store it so I can use it later. I don't want to blow it all right now. I want to hold on to it. And, you know, gold is a way to do that. You can't really do that in a fiat currency that's just being printed, you know, into oblivion. So, uh, but but but, you know, the the greed is in the speculative frenzy that accompanies Bitcoin. [Guest: Landy] [02:09] They tell me that I'm the reason they own Bitcoin because they listened to me years ago about economics, about sound money and and and the Fed and inflation. And I'm the one that got them. Plus there's a lot of good technology in Midnight that's going to make the use of Cardano safer. Like Midnight Passport will be the fastest, safest and easiest way to use Cardano. So we gain all the usability enhancements and so forth. Plus I'd argue Midnight is an essential component for Bitcoin, that Bitcoin DeFi. When you look at that side of it, you're like, okay, Bitcoin users, they want privacy. So Cardano could do a lot of the heavy lifting on the programming side, but where is the private coordination layer just for all that. So we're actually working on this program, our Bitcoin DeFi setup, where we call it the the circle. So you start with Bitcoin and Taproot. I'm going to put 50 Bitcoin with my own money into this thing for it to work. But you start with Taproot and uh Bitcoin. You lend it to a stable coin. So that'll occur on Cardano through a specialized transaction through the token bridge. And then that stable coin would then be deployed into a yield bearing instrument. And then as you make the yield, the yield is converted to Bitcoin and then it's sent to your Taproot. And then Midnight coordinates all of it for the private. So you you have like all three networks working together, and you have this circle. And then from a Bitcoin user's perspective, you just give them a button to make money. Click the button. And then it locks their Bitcoin. They just start generating a yield. The security actually enters the Taproot on the Bitcoin network. So it meets my three rules that I have for Bitcoin DeFi. One, there's only thing no other code. [David] [03:42] Bitcoin, Litecoin is better money than that, yeah, obviously. Also better money than gold. I think it's I believe it's the best form of money that humans have ever come across. Right? Money being good, being that it's um, it's inflation proof, right? No one, no single person, company or like government can print more money, right? Can't print money and in say the way the money you're holding, uh, you're storing, like that's kind of one of the key things about money is if you work hard and you make money, you don't want that money to kind of disappear over time, not from your own doing. Right? So that's that's key in Bitcoin, Litecoin and uh, most cryptocurrencies. Um, it's able to to do that. [Guest: Landy] [04:29] I could have the argument that the real estate guy doesn't have Bitcoin. [David] [04:32] For a number of reasons, by the way, depending on who you are. Um, your audience could probably disagree because they're probably a bunch of, you know, Bitcoin maximalists. They don't have as much Bitcoin as the real estate guy. By the way. [Guest: Landy] [04:46] No, I I'll tell you right now. [David] [04:49] Hold on one second. See, that's the funny thing, dude. That me and my brother were talking about this yesterday. You know, the guys that know the most seem to have the least. [Guest: Landy] [04:58] 100%. That that I can probably agree with you on. [David] [05:02] I think it should be a bigger issue within the crypto system and the ecosystem. What do you think? [Guest: Landy] [05:07] I think it will be. I think privacy is going to be the new if you want in my view, and this is what I'm tasking the investment professionals at Mailstrom to sort of figure out. I think that the stand out shitcoin or, you know, few shitcoins of 2026 to 2028 will be related in some way shape or form to privacy. We already saw the, you know, amazing move of Zcash over the last few months. Yes, it's down 50% from the 780 high, but I think again, my goal is, you know, my mental model is 10 to 20% of the value of Bitcoin. That's what Zcash ends up. So much higher than where it is today. But, you know, you know, taking away Zcash, what is the token project or protocol that's going to utilize some privacy technology, probably something relates to ZK, zero knowledge proofs to do something whether that's quantum resistant, you know, the AI overlords can't anonymize our data or, you know, see what we're doing, whatever it is, right? These are the things that we're latently afraid of of of what bad things that could happen with this proliferation of Big Tech, big government and [David] [06:16] Donald Trump getting elected and knowing that we share friends in the White House for all the populist parties of Europe who are under attack. Every single populist leader. If you look at the leaders, and my last documentary was called Silence. I got eight months in prison for my last documentary. The reason I aired it was because the documentary was so bigger than me. It's exactly what they're doing. Nord there has been waged against if you go through, I pick anyone. Pick her builders, the leader that the Dutch party. Pick Marine Le Pen. Any politician in Europe, yeah? Anyone, anyone who has stood up and tried to speak against him immigration, and you will see a history. Matteo Salvini, I was with him two days ago, the Deputy Prime Minister of of Italy, was prosecuted in 2020. They said he because he stopped the boat. He was prosecuted in 2021. He was then charged with other crimes. The process is the punishment. Every political leader who's tried to stand up was charged. You saw what they done to Bannon. You saw what they done to Alex Jones. You saw what they trying to do to Trump. That's happening across the board. They're of their. [David] [07:21] The tearing state. But I think it's probably then because they elect Trump on very optimistic about the future. More is not because we're not in Trump. You know, the public already, the public already. [Guest: Landy] [07:34] So the other thing about it here is just a lot of political power, you know, that, you know, it's going to have a nuclear attack in 2023 for all that. Dirt and racist that were absolutely going to be locked out are still in place because there's still money to be made and it keeps things like the Cardano Act alive, which has been changed a lot. I've had many conversations to try to get it into a better shape and hopefully September 15th will actually be able to get it up live and that will allow us to What first got you excited about blockchains? Think about it. Oh, wait. I bet it wasn't multi-million dollar hacks, exposed data, or finding somewhere safe to store your seed phrase. Was it? Maybe it was the idea of decentralizing a broken financial system. Maybe it was imagining a world where people own their own data and get to sharing the value it creates. [Guest: Music] [08:27] [Music] [Guest: Landy] [08:31] Or maybe it was the promise of a fundamentally better way of connecting, communicating, and transacting. The next phase of the internet that empowers us instead of exploiting us. So, why hasn't it happened yet? We're still living with the same broken system that blockchains promised to fix. It's because blockchains can't keep a secret. Enabling open transparent systems was only the first half of the challenge. For blockchains to really change the world, they also have to be able to protect our sensitive data when it matters. And that's why we built Midnight, to bring down the final barrier to mass adoption and unlock the full potential of the decentralized web. Let's build the internet we deserve. Together.

We have a second angle on this. [Guest: Music] [10:26] Is that guy on FOMO? [Guest: Music] [10:28] Oh, yeah. Yeah. [Guest: Music] [10:30] Yeah, let's get back to it everybody.

You can trade on there, you can watch people trade on there, you can watch people write thesis on there. Let's get right to it. We got Landy standing by. We got a lot to talk about. I wanted to actually wanted to do a show yesterday. Uh obviously Jensen got uh oh, he resigned. I mean, I'm sure listen, whatever. He resigned. I think it's the wrong move. I think the company took the wrong approach. But we'll talk about that throughout the show. Let's bring in Landy. We got Landy for seven minutes here. We got a whole lineup today. Maybe we'll bring back Landy. I don't know if he's free. He's not doing, you know, if he's not hosting other shows, maybe we'll bring him back. Landy, what's going on? Good good after what excuse me. Good morning to you. How's everything going, man? Landy, you can unmute yourself. We're live. [Guest: Landy] [15:31] I am live. I am also alive. I just didn't know how to unmute a microphone. [David] [15:36] Yes. I saw I kind of kind of saw that. We have we have six minutes with each other, but I I don't know, like hold on. I got to look at this. Let me look at the schedule here. Uh I mean we do have a break around 12:45 to 1:00. Maybe you'll come back. I don't know. I know you got hosting duties with others. Anyway, jab, jab, jab, jab, jab, jab. All right, Jensen's out as CEO of Nvidia. [Guest: Landy] [16:08] Yeah. Yeah. [David] [16:09] So that that was obviously huge news yesterday. You know, my man got a leather jacket on and he's piping. All right, he is [Guest: Landy] [16:19] Yep. He is uh [David] [16:22] Man gets around. Look, I don't really care what he does in his personal life. Okay? I think this is an overreaction. I'm going to just say I think this is an overreaction by the board. Uh 90% of the shareholders wanted him to stay on. Uh again, overreaction. Personal life. I get I guess I guess maybe the second Maybe we don't know everything. Maybe he's maybe he's piped out like nine to 13 employees. I don't know. So maybe maybe that's it. [Guest: Landy] [16:58] Well, I mean, what are your thoughts? I mean, like the guy has been there there's there's only been one CEO of the company for 33 years and it's been Jensen. And he's done a phenomenal job. Would you if you're a part of the board, would you have thrown him out? [David] [17:12] Um, [Guest: Landy] [17:13] No, personally, no. I mean, you know, I'm looking at the the the top holder, you know, and the top holders are Black Rock, Vanguard, FMR, which is Fidelity, uh, State Street, and then you have Jensen as the largest, uh, individual holder, and it's actually his family trust, him and his wife. So, you know, part of it might be a hedge against a potential divorce because him and his wife do control those trusts jointly. And that holds, um, you know, a lot of shares. Um, never know what's going to happen from there. Um, you know, I I kind of take the more positive outlook on this. I think Jensen's going to be fine. I think Nvidia's going to be fine. I don't really see, um, you know, I and the sell-off kind of needed anyway, but, you know, it was kind of indicating that well before this, any, you know, and I think that this kind of ouster is kind of a changing of the guard. So a little bit, um, my personal opinion is many already knew about these relationships. They were prepped to go out, uh, to to be public. Um, and it was pretty clear that he understood this all the way back in 2025, right? That's why he had the PR firm that he hired. So, you know, it is one of those things of like, yeah, I I think that Jensen's going to be fine. Nvidia's going to be fine. It's just going to look quite a bit different. [David] [18:38] I I honestly again, I will say I think they made a I I think they really they made a dumb move. Uh here's a guy who obviously I I got to say he got aura. Forget about the leather jacket. I mean, he walks into a room. It's kind of like Elon. Yeah. Where he's just well respected. Who you going to bring in now? I mean, they got the intern, but like who you going to really bring in now that's going to give people that same kind of confidence. You know what it reminds me of? Steve Jobs with Apple. Yeah. But I'm not I hope it doesn't go backwards. Like I hope Nvidia, I hope it doesn't go backwards. [Guest: Landy] [19:15] By the way, I'm not the only one. [David] [19:18] No, you're not. By not even by a long shot. I actually did a I did research on this and like 95% get it wrong completely. Uh, but or they say it differently. Uh and it's a and it basically means I forgot, fuck. I I think it means something like uh envious or you you never mind. Anyway, [David] [19:45] I think this is the wrong decision. I I really do. And it and it and everybody will see. It'll be the wrong decision for the company. [Guest: Landy] [19:53] I I don't I get it. I don't know. [David] [19:55] I totally understand. You guys are I I think they got spooked. I think they really got spooked by what though? [Guest: Landy] [20:04] I don't think that they got spooked. I think they knew about it and released the information themselves. I think that there was a a large contingent that purposely did so. [David] [20:13] And I wanted to touch base with you on this. I 100 100% believe this has come out of like this is really like this is like people want him gone type of shit. Like it it [David] [20:30] All right, look. And I feel like this is also disrespectful. They knew like then the government knew about this for for a year now. If he was not told, that's messed up. [Guest: Landy] [20:45] Yeah. [David] [20:45] Like think about that. If he wasn't told about this, I think that's absolutely messed up, especially that [Guest: Landy] [20:51] Can I give you my theory here? [David] [20:53] Oh, I think China set this up 100%. The China's laughing. [Guest: Landy] [20:56] Well, hold on. I I want to kind of flip this for a moment because there's only one reason in my mind why he wouldn't get a defensive briefing if the government knew that she was a spy. And that is that he also knew this as well. So there was no need for a defensive briefing. And when you think about the way that things played out, and there's going to be plenty of people going through and analyzing this, but if you think about the way that things played out with the company that she had, that got the contracts that she did, it then it then opens the door to um, trace exactly what's going on in relation to product hitting mainland China. So, that I can't square him not getting a defensive briefing with a company that is so important if they didn't already know and he didn't already know that she was a spy. That's where I think that there's probably more to this story than we will ever know. And that it's very highly likely that he knew the entire time. You don't get a PR firm in 2025, um, for this stuff. [David] [22:03] I get that. But I get that. I I I I will agree with you on that, Landy. But I just feel like he's been set up this entire time. Like really set up. [Guest: Landy] [22:12] I think the board set him up with the and held the information over his head, yeah. [David] [22:17] It might have been his own people. [Guest: Landy] [22:18] Yeah. Oh, for sure. Oh, they all would have known. And the word gets around fast, man. [David] [22:26] Listen. He listen, this this man ain't picky. [Guest: Landy] [22:31] Yo, come on, the healthcare the healthcare lady too, man. He's got it all down. I remember I said the other day, I swear that after he met RFK Jr. in 2024 and they were talking when RFK Jr. was, um, you know, doing his presidential bid there as an independent. I said, I swear, I swear there's something going on. All of a sudden he's, uh, he's getting all, you know, jacked up on peptides and he's getting in shape and he's, you know, all of a sudden his hair is back in in style again. Like, come on, man. It all comes back to to RFK Jr., man. It really does. All that TRT and peptides and weird morning routines. Yep. [David] [22:50] You know who really won? [Guest: Landy] [22:56] Who really won? [David] [22:58] His wife. [Guest: Landy] [22:59] Oh, man, did she ever. [David] [23:01] $80 billion to the bank. $80 billion. [Guest: Landy] [23:05] What if she just Minimum. What if she stays with him? What does that mean? [David] [23:40] I mean, look, uh I hope that would be that would be cool, but like I mean, you know, if we're thinking that it wasn't just the spy and and and a co-worker. I I you know what? I I don't think they I don't think they push him out if it's just based on these two things. I just don't I don't see it. There has to be more and like I'm telling you it's the leather jacket, bro. It is the leather jacket that made him do some [Guest: Landy] [24:14] Okay, David, I here's another theory. What if he comes out and he starts wearing like cardigans like, uh, like Bill Gates? All of a sudden he switches it up and he's in cardigans. What does that mean? It's there's some crazy things we got to watch closely. There's going to be some signaling going on. [David] [24:33] man. What gave this all away? It should have been, you know, a dead giveaway. When why you Everybody starts laughing as soon as I go for that. All right. It was a dead It was a dead giveaway when he was signing when he was giving autographs and you know there was a famous autograph of him of him signing somebody's Yep. shirt. A woman's shirt. Okay? In the cleavage area. [Guest: Landy] [25:04] Yeah, her shirt. Yeah, yeah, her shirt. Yes, definitely her shirt. [David] [25:07] So that should have been a dead giveaway. And the leather jacket. The leather jacket should have said it off. Right now though, leather jackets are absolutely back ordered because there are tons of men. [Guest: Landy] [25:22] I I yo, I'm part of the problem. I actually, uh, upon his ouster, I ordered a new leather jacket. [David] [25:30] Well, uh hopefully, I don't know. I know that you're busy. Hopefully we can bring you back on today's show and we can go ahead and talk about obviously Nvidia and a ton of things that are happening in the markets. Markets obviously pulled back. People are panicking. Few people peed themselves. I I'd like to go ahead and possibly have this conversation with you. If obviously, sir, if you're available, I know, you know, the puppet dude [Guest: Landy] [25:54] I'm going to try to stick around. I'm going to try to stick around in the background. [David] [25:56] Great. All right. That that's good. I appreciate you, puppet. [Guest: Landy] [26:00] I appreciate you too. [David] [26:04] I'm telling you people still don't understand. All right, never mind. We'll talk. [Guest: Landy] [26:07] No, they don't. They have no idea. [David] [26:09] They don't understand. Anyway, we'll see you later, all right? [Guest: Landy] [26:11] All right.

[Part 2 of 9] [David] [00:00] Thanks, David. [David] [00:01] Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much. I we I I don't know why this guy's still here. I don't know why the puppet's still here. Puppet, get out of here. [David] [00:09] We'll bring him back on. We'll bring him back on. We have a we have Mike in the background. He's waiting in the green room. There's again, again, our staff is horrible. Our staff is absolutely terrible. No water, no nothing. It's terrible, man. You go on to the late night show, they they give you everything. They give you like Don't they give you like clothing and stuff, free clothing, samples, all that stuff. We give absolutely nothing in the back. We're paycheck to paycheck on this show. That's right. Welcome to the breakdown episode 824. 824 official episodes, more than that unofficially. Uh, man, a lot of a lot of news breaking out here. Again, my man with the leather jacket, Jensen, he's he's resigned. Or the board's let him go. Something's happened, okay? Either way, he's out. He's out. Okay. He is out. But let's bring in let's bring Mike in because Mike's been waiting in the back. I feel bad. Mike, what is happening? What is going on? Thanks for coming on to the show. [Guest: Mike] [01:18] Thanks for having me. Great to be here. [David] [01:20] Been watching the news, I know. [Guest: Mike] [01:22] Of course. [David] [01:24] What do you think about the the whole uh Nvidia situation? [Guest: Mike] [01:28] I I was going to uh I had a leather jacket on uh that I was planning to wear on the show yesterday and now I thought I thought I'd take it off for this one. [David] [01:37] Tell me a little about the about the Pro Paddle uh uh league here. [Guest: Mike] [01:42] Yeah, so we are uh the the professional league for for paddle um in in North America. Yeah, sorry. Um paddle is is the the kind of proper pronunciation that I spend a lot of time correcting. [David] [01:54] The European came at me. I excuse me on that one. [Guest: Mike] [01:58] Um so we've got it's a franchise-based league um similar to you know, NBA or NFL type of structure. We have 10 teams across uh North America, eight in the US, one in Mexico, one in Canada. Um and uh we're coming up with an event um during Race Week in Vegas uh starting next Wednesday that we're super excited about and then we'll wrap up the season um in Miami in in Art Week um a couple weeks after that, right after Thanksgiving. So, um paddle's now the fastest growing sport in the world with over 40 million people playing globally and um now the fastest growing sport in the US uh with we just passed a million players in the US, which uh is still a small number for where the sport's going to be, but it uh is up from pretty much zero uh a couple years ago. So we're we're on a nice trajectory with the sport. [David] [02:46] That's dope. Uh for people who've never played, what is paddle and what is it and why is it exploding right now? [Guest: Mike] [02:52] Um it's kind of like a cross between tennis and squash. Uh so it's played with a kind of like a tennis ball um on only in doubles. So it's a it's a team sport, which is unique for a racket sport. Um there's glass walls surrounding it, so it keeps the points going super long, really engaging, really athletic, dynamic, fast-paced. Um I think just, you know, as the uh world continues to get automated away, um people are craving human connection and paddle is social, athletic, um so it's it's, you know, fundamentally human, which is what I love about sports right now. [David] [03:32] How do you build a pro league from zero in America and what's the business model here? [Guest: Mike] [03:37] Yeah, so it's interesting. I think because we're brand new, we have the benefit of looking at all of the sports leagues that have come before us and kind of picking and choosing what we like and what we don't like. Um and, you know, starting the company kind of in this age allows us to do a lot of things with a much leaner team that weren't possible even, you know, six months ago or last week, right? And so we're able to kind of be nimble and try things and experiment um and not be beholden to any kind of legacy structure or infrastructure, um which is exciting. [David] [04:18] Who's investing into teams and what are they actually buying? [Guest: Mike] [04:22] Yeah, so you know, similar to let's say the NBA, right? You're kind of you own the the rights to a franchise um to participate in in the league. Um that gives you kind of territorial rights in your local market, right? So we all of our teams are are city-based. We have Toronto, Los Angeles, you know, New York, um Houston, Mexico, to name a few, uh Vegas, where we're going. Um and you are building your your paddle roster. I think similar to F1, uh the teams are fielding men's and women's teams. Uh and then there are points accumulating to the men's and women's divisions as well as kind of like a constructors cup um for the for the franchise and for the cities. [David] [05:04] Where's uh where's the money? Media rights, sponsors, tickets or courts? [Guest: Mike] [05:09] So, I don't think it's media rights. Um I know that's kind of traditionally been how sports leagues thrive. Um I think that model is changing rapidly. Um the goal, you know, similar to, you know, lots of new media companies is is distribution. Um not the monetization of actually selling those rights. So, um, you know, paddle highlights go like super viral. So we do we do great on social, on YouTube. We try to distribute everywhere. Um the sport is really nascent. Um still in the US, even though it's growing fast. So we want to, you know, expose as many people as we can to the sport, get them on the court. Um and then, you know, we'll see what kind of ancillary opportunities exist for us to lean into to to help build the infrastructure. [David] [05:57] Is paddle the next pickleball or is it different is it a different kind of play? [Guest: Mike] [06:02] Um it's different. It's it's a very different sport. Um you know, pickleball obviously grew incredibly fast during the pandemic um in the US. I think what happened in the US with pickleball happened everywhere else in the world with paddle. And now we're kind of starting to catch up um to that craze globally. Um paddle from our standpoint is an extremely attractive kind of spectator sport, which I think pickleball thrives on how easy it is to participate. Um paddle is um world-class athletes, you know, they jump incredibly high, they run fast, they're super powerful. The hand-eye coordination is ridiculous. Um and so I think, you know, probably the fundamental difference, you know, that I would say is is from a from a watchability standpoint, we think we think paddle has, you know, real traction to be a a real world-class media property. [David] [07:00] What happened for paddle to go mainstream in the US in the next five years? [Guest: Mike] [07:05] A lot of things. Um infrastructure. Um we're still 1,200 courts thereabouts in the in the whole country. Um which, you know, just by way of example, right, is about the same or actually less than the UK. Um so we're we're way behind on the maturity curve um even to where kind of more nascent, newer paddle markets exist. Um, you know, Spain, for example, the capital of of paddle really has has about 20,000 courts or so, I want to say. So, um we think we will get to double digit thousands of courts in the US over the next three to five years, double digit millions of players over the next three to five years. Um we're starting to see paddle take off in colleges and universities. Um so I think it's, you know, just laying all the groundwork um to build pathways for the most talented athletes to know, you know, that there is a pathway to becoming a pro player and there's a, you know, a property that will support a career path that way. [David] [08:06] Where can people tune in and watch uh you guys absolutely dominate on the court? [Guest: Mike] [08:11] Yeah, it won't be me dominating on the court, but but uh you can tune into uh CNBC. Uh we're live on Saturday right before the race uh in Vegas next weekend. Um and then typically we are live on CNBC on our finals um on Sundays. Um otherwise you can catch us on Instagram @propaddleleague, uh YouTube @propaddleleague, where, you know, all the highlights, all the clips, all the other live matches. [David] [08:40] Before you go, any uh famous famous celebrities or even athletes getting into paddle here? [Guest: Mike] [08:47] So many. Um let's see, recently, I mean, every day I feel like I see, you know, top of mind for us, all of the F1 drivers are are playing paddle in their free time. All the kind of famous soccer players, footballers are are playing paddle in their free time. They're building paddle courts in their training facilities in the Premier League in the UK, for example. Uh Beckham plays, you know, um a friend of mine, Andrew Schultz, comedian, is playing a ton of paddle every chance he gets. Um we've got um yeah, I I don't know. I mean, it's it's it's kind of taken over. Drake is playing a lot these days, I hear. Future is playing a lot. [David] [09:27] That that's I I would expect that didn't throw me away that F1 Formula drivers are playing because for them that that's a perfect thing for their hand-eye coordination to get that uh top tier. [Guest: Mike] [09:40] 100%. Um a lot of tennis players as well in their free time. They they like to play because it's it's more kind of little friendlier, um team spirit with a partner on a um next to you. So, but but yeah, it's like your favorite athletes, favorite sport right now. [David] [09:57] One big investment can go ahead and absolutely take this to the next level, correct? Like a major investment, let's say by a mainstream media corporation, would be able to take this to the next level, right? [Guest: Mike] [10:11] Yeah, I I think there's there's lots of ways that certainly media distribution um is a major focus, right? I think just the ability for, you know, even like linear networks, right, to just get things in front of mass audiences is always extremely helpful in the growth. [David] [10:29] So far it's been word of mouth, right? [Guest: Mike] [10:32] Yeah, for sure. [David] [10:35] Appreciate you coming on, Mike, and I appreciate you listening to me talk to a puppet here. Um he's the notorious puppet, he comes on to the show every single day. We break down markets, but uh this is interesting. I I'm going to go ahead and look at more clips on YouTube. And it's nice that you guys are on CNBC. You said Saturday. Uh at what time? [Guest: Mike] [10:58] I believe it will be 5:30 Eastern. [David] [11:02] At 5:30 Eastern time, you guys can go ahead and catch these guys go out, well, you're not, you said you're not going onto the court. But you can catch all these athletes, well, let's call them athletes, participate in this sport and uh I appreciate you coming on, Mike. Really do and hopefully we can get you on in the next few months and see where your league stands. [Guest: Mike] [11:22] Yeah, we'd love that. Thanks, David, for the time. [David] [11:25] Have a great one. [Guest: Mike] [11:26] You too. [David] [11:27] Man, I want to go out and play now. I I tried uh I actually tried pickleball and uh I I like this. This is you know what, I like paddle. I can I can see myself getting into paddle. I got into pickle. I play tennis. But I got to pronounce it correctly. You know, did you see like I stumbled real quick. I said pedal. I don't know why why why the hell did I say pedal? Out of nowhere. And I'm going with it like, yeah, and then he's he was nice enough to correct me in a nice like like how dare you disrespect me? It's nice to go out and correct. I'm thinking what the The European, man, sometimes it slips in. I'm telling you, sometimes when you're bilingual, sometimes there. Tune in to honestly, tune in to CNBC, 5:30 PM Eastern time. Check them out. I'll probably be doing a live show and I'll probably like tune in. Why not? Something like that will blow up. Like some like think about who played hacky sack? When's the hacky sack league coming out too? These these are the sports that people want to play, by the way. I just want to let you guys know. Because nobody's chasing down 135 mile an hour serves. But they probably do hit the ball. They they probably hit hard though. I was not shocked when he said F1 Formula racers play. Like that is probably the greatest thing that they can go ahead and do. Ping pong, all that stuff, like hand-eye coordination. I played hockey. Specifically was told to go ahead and play sports, hand-eye coordination, bottom line. I won't talk about what they did to me when they sent me to ballet. I won't talk about that. We'll not speak about that. Let's um while we still have time here. I'm actually I actually would love to go ahead and go out and cover this event. I got to speak to my I would love to go out there with a crew and cover or attempt to play. You imagine if I go out there and I attempt to play? Let's bring in Landy. Landy, what if I go out there and attempt to play? [Caller] [01:00:27] Why are you having paddle unmuting, David? [David] [01:04:47] How disrespectful am I? I said paddle. I mean pedal. [Caller] [01:09:27] I, you know, it's okay. It happens to the best of us. [David] [01:13:50] I'm a professional. [Caller] [01:15:51] Yeah, I mean, you are a professional and professionals sometimes uh when they are multilingual, um say pedal instead of paddle. [David] [01:27:30] And we're under extreme pressure. [Caller] [01:30:80] Pressure, yes. [David] [01:32:10] Pressure. [David] [01:37:30] I don't know if anybody caught that. All right, look. [David] [01:45:30] I'm looking. Jensen resigns. It's a sad day for Nvidia. [David] [01:54:50] Yeah. The whole market. I had text messages come in. [Caller] [01:59:30] Mhm. [David] [02:01:20] People are crying. [David] [02:04:40] It's over. I'm tired of buying. [Caller] [02:06:50] [Laughter] [David] [02:07:90] They told me. [David] [02:10:70] I'm tired of buying the dip, bro. [David] [02:14:50] Yeah. [Caller] [02:15:60] Never be tired of buying the dip. Look, I I just um you know, there's a lot of there's a lot of questions out there like how big is his contacts window? You know, what what was he saying? What was his sweet talk? Right? Like it's all about the inference, baby. Right? Like you know, it it it's it is you're removed. I'm by myself now. Um yeah, I mean there's just there's a lot of questions that need to be answered. Like how did he manage to pull this off? You know, getting uh getting care from the healthcare CEO. You know, for you know, you know, to help handle all of the all of the RAM that they've been buying up. [David] [02:10:20] Did somebody say RAM? [Caller] [02:11:20] Yep. RAM. [David] [02:13:80] Yeah, that's what he was doing. Anyway, um [Caller] [02:16:10] [Laughter] [David] [02:20:30] What happened? Did I say something? [Caller] [02:22:10] No, I mean, look, it's I I the rumors around DC are that his contacts window is massive and he was all about the inference, baby. Um so, you know, they're taking him down a peg. [David] [02:36:60] Can I Before we go into this whole we continue on this discussion and then we lead into obviously the markets where people are texting me. Fucking crying. [Caller] [02:48:30] Yeah. [David] [02:50:40] I actually had uh one of my cousins. As I went out yesterday. Say, well, yeah. Bitcoin's kind of going down, right? [Caller] [03:07:30] Not as much as a Chinese spy, but you know. [David] [03:12:60] No, they asked me if I'm okay. [Caller] [03:14:70] Oh, if you're okay. Like [David] [03:18:40] I I just like to also this is the first time that I gave myself um well, my hair's usually like really, really puffy, always, you know. And today I have the German haircut. I think I I think I have the German styling. I'm looking at myself. I'm like, man, not not bad. Nice, nice, nice. I I can go for it right now. [Caller] [03:39:20] Yeah, it's uh kind of blasphemy though considering um you know. [David] [03:44:40] Shout out to the people who have hair. We can do these kind of things. [Caller] [03:50:20] Wow. [David] [03:51:10] So sorry. [Caller] [03:51:70] Wow. All these bald men out there, you just lost them. You lost the entire [David] [03:57:30] Yeah, you know why? Because I've always given I've always given the right advice. Guys, man, what are you doing? You're sitting out there, okay? You're sitting out there. You're trading all damn day long. You're stressing out. You're looking at charts, stressing out. You don't work out. You're eating Doritos. I damn know you're eating. You're doing like those one chip challenges and shit. [Caller] [04:25:00] Just by yourself though. Yeah. [David] [04:27:10] Yeah, by all by myself. But something something that Jensen was definitely not. He was definitely not all by himself. And what I wanted to touch on was, bro, he this man. [Caller] [04:42:30] He talked about a lot of things. [David] [04:44:30] This man had a selection. And he You know, by the way, can I say I feel bad for his wife? Can can I just say that? I feel bad for his wife from this standpoint. And I think it's disrespectful. I I you know, I'm usually I'm usually trying to be funny. Well, I'm not trying to be funny. I usually speak my mind, but I feel bad for her, right? Because people are dogging her and stuff. Saying like, of course he would. [Caller] [04:55:00] Oh, yeah. [David] [04:56:40] First of all, first of all, rewind and I saw a picture of her when she was younger. And she she's not a she was an attractive she was an attractive woman. I mean, like she she wasn't bad. She was okay. And here's here's somebody who's stuck by him. Like I've watched videos. This is where I want to slap him upside his head. She stood by him. I've seen like the interview because they they did these clips to showcase like his wife a bit here. [Caller] [04:45:10] Yeah. [David] [04:55:80] And I don't think it was put together by the feminist party. The feminist party don't care about women. [Caller] [04:59:40] But no, no. [David] [05:00:90] They don't give a shit. Trust me, if they cared about women, our country would be in a better place. The men here in America care more about women than the feminist party does. But the way she looked at him, right? The way she looked at him. Like that's something you seek. [Caller] [05:13:30] Yeah. [David] [05:14:30] That's something that you want. Like everybody from the outside can talk about looks and that that looks ain't everything, man. Looks are not everything. Like you want to get somebody with a personality, you want somebody who can stand by you in good or in bad times. And the way she looked at him, man. And then I think another part is maybe he felt awkward. His daughter taking a picture with the spy? [Caller] [05:40:40] Yeah. [David] [05:41:40] I mean, all these things are kind of like, man, at some point you you got to sit down and say, I got to lose this leather jacket. I I got to put it away. But that's what happens that's what happens, you know, I I think that's what happens when you I can go into it, but that's what happens with I guess when you get money. [Caller] [06:03:40] Money and fame. [David] [06:05:40] Yeah, big time. Big time fame. I think uh uh Grant Cardone was talking about that. [Caller] [06:12:70] Yeah. [David] [06:13:30] He did a video on on, you know, he wasn't like shocked or anything. Um but whatever, I I I I hope, look, I hope that they do stay together. The chances of that happening probably unlikely just because like she's probably devastated. And she'll have people telling her, you got to get away from him. She he's broken her trust, right? Completely. [Caller] [06:36:00] Yeah. [David] [06:36:80] So, you know, at that point, she's going to she's the she's the greatest, you know, she's going to get the greatest payday of all time, $80 billion. She's going to be able to do whatever she wants and she should. She should. But listen, I'd love for them again to stay together. I don't even know them. Love to see them stay together, but they're most likely going to break up. Let let's go into the markets here. [David] [06:59:30] Because now this has rattled the markets. And then there's Sam Altman came out and said that really it really just comes down to Open AI and Anthropic and nobody else. Um when they were talking about chips and and all that stuff. And that they uh made a mistake and uh what was it? Double ordered? Or or did a double accounting on the amount of chips that were necessary? [Caller] [07:28:20] Uh are you talking about the same Sam Altman that signed agreements um that then he could not make good on with the purchases? That Sam Altman? [David] [07:41:40] I don't know. It just came out with that yesterday. [Caller] [07:42:40] Letters of intent um that pushed the market higher so that you can try to starve the competition or make them CAPEX more. Um while you never had any intention of actually getting those chips. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. That Sam Altman? Look, it is not just Anthropic and Open AI. Um there is the elephant in the room that has been cooking and that is Google and they make their own chips. So, um Google is something to watch for. They they are they are doing well and they have been they've been putting out they've been putting out uh a ton of new models that are um at the level of, you know, your Opus 55s and your Astras and all of the larger frontier models as well. Obviously, the Fable 5.2 uh came out and they're clearly holding something back to uh see what um Open AI does with their next model. Meanwhile, you've got Google out there just just churning out model after model and checkpoint after checkpoint for their new models that are just getting better and better and better. And everybody was counting them out and you can't count Google out. especially because they have the infrastructure. They have the infrastructure that an Anthropic and an Open AI could only dream up. And, you know, it's the same thing. Like Sam Altman wanted to get into Terrifab. Right? They wanted they want a deal with Elon. They want a deal for the um for, you know, for compute and Elon's basically laughing him off. I'm I'd rather give it to Anthropic. Right? And that's where the deal comes with um uh came from with with uh SpaceX and Anthropic for compute. Right? And so Sam is kind of on the outside looking in. He's got to go make he's got to wheel and deal through Microsoft. [David] [08:49:70] Yeah. [Caller] [08:50:80] So, and and everybody's, you know, looking over here at Anthropic and SpaceX and Microsoft and Open AI. And a lot of folks know what the deal is with Google. And Google's the dark horse in the race. And you you shouldn't even be saying that. I shouldn't even be saying that to like [David] [09:10:40] No, because they they've really dropped the ball, man. Google's dropped the ball. Let's let's call it for what it is. [Caller] [09:14:50] But they they've made up ground in the last two weeks. They've made up ground in such a big way. [David] [09:20:60] Yeah, I just I still feel like they dropped the ball, bro. Because they shouldn't they shouldn't be making up ground. [Caller] [09:27:90] Well, [David] [09:28:40] When when you when you have a behemoth, when you have Google, which is a behemoth of a fucking company. Behemoth. You should not be making up any ground. You should be dominating this entire space right now. Like making up ground when I hear that, it's just like it's crazy to to listen to what making up ground here. [Caller] [09:50:60] But what I would say is, you know, their stock didn't reflect that until recently, um that they were that they needed to make up ground, right? We just had a nice dip down on Google to about the 272 to 275 area and a nice pump back up to almost 300. So, you know, but it's still downtrending.

[Part 3 of 9] [Guest: Name] [00:00] um as is Nvidia, as is many else, uh many others rather. When, you know, and we're right on the heels or we're right on the toes, we will be on the heels of it soon of an Anthropic IPO. And then we're going to get an Open AI IPO, right? So, I I think that the market's going to remain volatile, but uh we will see speculation drive prices higher on every dip until we see these things out of the way before we get those really big, massive corrections. I tell you, I've told you this before, I'm still looking Q1 to Q2 time frame. That transitionary period from Q1 to Q2, you know, setting the table, the way the markets are going to kind of set the table through the end of the year into the new Congress and into, you know, all of the New Year spending, um all of the Q1 kind of uh preparations that are being laid out now. So, I I think that the dips are the opportunity. We I don't think we've seen the massive sell-off that we want to see just yet. And, um but there's still places and things that you could pick, right? Like there is there's good trades to be had. And I think Q1 to Q2 is going to offer up good long-term investment, um opportunities in a lot of these companies, including, you know, IPOs, the SpaceX and Anthropic, right? So, two different, a lot of people are comparing the valuations, right? Of SpaceX and then the 1.2 trillion valuation on Anthropic right now. The difference is, you know, SpaceX had a quick Nasdaq 100 listing, so it gets into everybody's portfolio. That's a that's a really solid bid coming in on a consistent basis from investors. That you're not going to see the same thing with Anthropic, I don't think. And I don't think you're going to see that with an Open AI. Um I don't think they're going to structure it that way. So, I'd be looking for these uh IPOs from Anthropic especially to start racing to the upside and then have that nice big sell-off. And I think we're just going to be in opportunity zone because I think it's going to sell off with the rest of the market in a bigger way come Q1 to Q2. [David] [02:13] So, you have obviously Nvidia and you have AI obviously companies there there's a lot of a lot of people that are uncomfortable right now, I I should say. I'm not the real traders are are loving the volatility. But most people aren't traders per se, so they're feel uncomfortable. And there's a lot of selling off. You can see it in the markets and obviously what's happening within the traditional is affecting, or in my opinion, is affecting our lovely Bitcoin and and crypto uh plays that people are in. By the way, why are you guys why are you guys adding me about shitcoins? [Guest: Name] [03:02] I [David] [03:03] You're adding me about like I don't care. I told you, I don't give a shit. [Guest: Name] [03:09] Well, here's the thing. [David] [03:11] No, but because Bitcoin is going to pull, okay, Bitcoin is going to pull. It's going to I hope it goes into the 60s. I've been Have you guys watched me on the show? Are you guys listening to me when I when I say things on the show? [Guest: Name] [03:23] I literally said, I'm waiting for a pullback. [David] [03:26] I said the I keep saying the same line. I hope we get a pullback, but if we go up from here, I'm fine with the two. But I'd like one more pullback. I don't know what else I can say. I am Yes, I'm greedy. I want another pullback. That's it. And I've been saying that we're going to have one Go look at my tweets. Landy's been on here telling you. And he's been praying, honestly. Him and and his entire astrology crowd has been praying. [Guest: Name] [03:57] Like we can't be wrong, bitch. [David] [04:03] Go down. [Guest: Name] [04:05] Hey, it's right in the zone that I talked about. 70 to 72 is kind of the area that I was looking below the monthly at 74, 744. I told you, I'm looking 70 72. I want to see what the reaction is here. [David] [04:18] Yeah. [Guest: Name] [04:18] And if it falls through, we're looking, you know, immediately to 65 to 68 as kind of the primary zone of interest down below. And what the bulls need to do is recover 74 and subsequently, uh you want to see closes above 78, right? So, from here, if we do get a bounce, be aware of 74 as overhead resistance, 74 to 76. If we get a bounce out of 70 to 72. If it falls through, 65 68 is the name of the game, right? That is um something I've been talking about a lot with you, putting out there in my videos and stuff like that too. Um what I will say is, David, with all of the drama going on with Nvidia, you know, the market's got a beautiful buyback. Spy got a beautiful buyback to 760. Um you had Nasdaq get a beautiful buyback, um into, um, you know, the 29 uh 28 and a half region after dipping down below uh 27 into the 26 uh six region. You had Dow, um all the way down at uh under 50, just at 51k. Now back at 526, 527 almost. Right? Nice buybacks, but the structure does matter because it is downtrending structure. Lower lows, lower high kind of structure. So, it's a matter of seeing how does the market's volatility kind of, um, react during this time frame through the end of the year, through the holidays, which I do think it's going to remain pretty volatile. Um, is there any exuberance in the market come January that then leads to a larger sell-off in, you know, uh, you know, later January, February, March time frame, you know, that Q1 to Q2 time frame. One of the keys is, the economy is solid. The the underpinnings of the economy in the US is very, very solid. And the the big thing I think is now going to be discussions that like you and I talked about the other day, it's going to be about, okay, what are rates going to do? I think that they have to get the rates, if they're going to do rate hikes, they got to get them in in December. They got to get their 25 or their 50 basis points. And they and I think that's it because they're not going to get the opportunity, I think, um, you know, Q1 to Q2 of next year. And if they do, maybe that's what spooks the market to sell off and roll into the Treasuries and bond markets for that for that safety. Um, I whatever the narrative is, the market is shaping up to give us a Q1 to Q2, um, sell-off in my personal opinion. And everything between now and then is our is volatility arbitrage. So, you're going to see if there is larger sell-offs get picked up very quickly, um, hitting those resistances, slowing down a bit, and then we kind of wait for a little bit. And that's kind of where we're at in the past couple of days since the Nvidia news hit, since the election results. Um, and I I would be in favor of because the the economic data for inflation lags. We have lower we have lower crude oil prices right now, and even diesel is starting to come down. And what that means is that if they stay sustainably lower on the highs and lower on the lows for energy, we will see the inflationary relief in Q1 and Q2 of next year. So, I think that that their window of opportunity to raise rates is going to have to come very, very quickly here. And because the market's then going to want to bid it all up, um, which means that rates will come down, and that's going to take the opportunity, and that's good for the economy, take the opportunity to raise rates off the table and maybe even put cuts back on the table mid to late next year. [David] [08:14] You know what, this is a time not to be scared. This is a time to figure out how you can take advantage of this market. Um, bottom line. Uh I'm going to shift to obviously a political discussion. [Guest: Name] [08:29] Sure. [David] [08:31] I am uh absolutely disappointed [Guest: Name] [08:35] that John Thune got uh [David] [08:37] Yeah. I said it yesterday. I'll say it again, disappointed that Thune got put back into that position. What this is the Republicans did not learn their lesson. They absolutely did not learn their lesson. And the Republican Party really, it's what I said yesterday, thinking more and more about this. Having the House and the Senate for two years and not getting anything done when you could have got things done, horrific. [Guest: Name] [09:07] Yeah. [David] [09:08] What a horrific Like it it more so hit me yesterday. [Guest: Name] [09:13] As they vote him in. [David] [09:15] And that's when it that when it hit that's when it really it's like driving the knife deeper and twisting it is to vote that stupid guy in who has done nothing for the American people and will do nothing for the American people. [Guest: Name] [09:30] You know what I and I was sitting back and I was thinking about this. You know, they got Hassan Piker over there on the Democrat socialist side. [David] [09:40] Yeah. [Guest: Name] [09:40] And they've been able to get rid of people that don't align with their message. [David] [09:47] Yeah. [Guest: Name] [09:48] And now I'm just going to be a loud mouth here about the Republican Party. And I'm going to want to make sure like my voice is heard when it comes to some of these people that are currently in their positions that have done nothing to help Trump's agenda. [David] [10:03] Yeah, yeah. [Guest: Name] [10:04] We we need more representatives, like I keep on saying, we need more Brandon Gills representing the Republican Party, bottom line, than these rhinos that have been in office for 30, 40 years that have done nothing. [David] [10:19] Two years. [Guest: Name] [10:20] Now what? The Republican Party is going to sit there and say, well, if we have we had control of the the House and the Senate. [David] [10:30] Like that's that's all they're going to be talking about now. It's like if when we have control of the House and the Senate, or if we had control of the House and the Senate, well, you had control of the House and the Senate, and you only been able to goddamn pass two bills. [Guest: Name] [10:43] You know who I like? Tim Burchett. He tells it like it is. [David] [10:48] Bring him on. I like him too. [Guest: Name] [10:49] Yeah. I I you know, he's he's going to be there. He's going to be there. Um, his term's not up. I think that he is, um, realistic. He's critical of the Republicans, he's critical of the Democrats, and he's real about what they're doing on Capitol Hill and how they're not serving the American people. None of them. [David] [11:12] They're not I said and if you watched my show, I don't know if you watched, but like if I said it yesterday, man, you know, I give me a box right now to check Republican, Democrat, pro-American, I'm checking pro-American. [Guest: Name] [11:28] Yeah. [David] [11:29] Because I'm going to tell you right now what Trump had for the last two years, essentially, was a was a House and a Senate that you could basically say was essentially all Democrats. [Guest: Name] [11:47] You could call it it's I I like to call it even though they had the numbers, I like to call it a lame duck Congress because they acted like a lame duck Congress. They acted like they had no power. They acted like they couldn't move the needle. And it was primarily out of the Senate, by the way. In the House, Democrats and Republicans actually came together to to to try to codify. Even Democrats. Yes. Yes, folks, even Democrats in the House were aligned on some of the same issues and agenda items as the administration and passed it through to the Senate, and the Senate did nothing. They just stifled the agenda at every single step. And who was leading that charge? It was Thune. He purposely sabotaged everything coming from the House. So, you know, there is some cover for some of the House members on both the Democrat and the Republican side. [David] [12:41] Yeah, but I I honestly think [Guest: Name] [12:42] in the Senate didn't anything about it. [David] [12:43] I want Thune gone. 2028, right? He's up for re-election. I want him absolutely We got to get a candidate out there that can take him on and get rid of him because this man destroyed one of the greatest comebacks of all time. [Guest: Name] [13:04] Yep. [David] [13:05] Trump If he if Trump had a united Republican front, we would have had a lot of things done. A lot of things would have been passed that would have helped the American people. You don't got to like Trump, okay? You don't got to like Trump, you don't got to like Obama, like I'll name you all the presidents. You don't got to like them. As long as they do things that benefit the American people, you can clap for them. Trump was trying to do that. Voter ID should when your the New York City mayor asked for two pieces of ID in order for you to get paid for shoveling. There should be no problem then to go ahead and show ID when you go ahead and go and vote. Okay? There should be no problem at all to show ID. And don't tell me that you oh, I had these people on threads are hitting me with, oh, I when I went into, you know, when I went to vote in Texas, I showed ID. Congratulations. [Guest: Name] [14:11] Yeah. [David] [14:12] That that's that's the whole idea. [Guest: Name] [14:15] Yeah. [David] [14:17] But when you go to California, [Guest: Name] [14:20] Yeah, it's you cannot show ID. In fact, and if they ask you for ID, they're committing, um, a a uh, it's not they can be fined, it's technically a crime. They can't ask you for any ID in California. [David] [14:35] We we you you have the Republicans have the House and the Senate, and you only got that because of Trump. Okay? You got that in 2024 because of Trump. The people rallied, the American people rallied, they voted red down the line. Here you have it. You have the House and Senate. You can do whatever you want. We're not going to do the We're not going to We're not going to No, no, no, no. We won't we won't get rid of the filibuster. [Guest: Name] [15:03] Guess who is? [David] [15:03] I need to make [Guest: Name] [15:04] Guess who's going to get rid of it? [David] [15:06] Yeah, the Democrats, of course. I need to make this point. So, a lot of looky-loo political folks that only like to um to to talk about, let's say, the Middle East and the conflict there or any of these other things. From day one, the moment that Trump entered the White House in January of 2025, the Republicans immediately began to stifle his agenda. Had nothing to do with gas prices or Middle Eastern war. It had no it even had nothing to do with the tariffs. See, what a lot of folks still don't want to talk about is that and I was in support of this, although not the way that it was actually written, but the Chips Act under the Biden administration, I was actually for those tariffs on China. It was 100% tariffs. 100% It was going into effect in January of 2025, no matter what. No matter what. And it was escalating tariffs over time. It was already passed, already ready to go, it was already going to happen. Now, the funny part about this is, he talks about tariffs, no one everyone's against it, right? Including the Republicans who immediately then set out to not just stifle his agenda in that regard, but stifle his agenda in everything else that they were trying to do, whether it was appointees, whether it was, you know, getting the right people in in position into the administration, judges, everything else. Every step of the way from day one when he got back into office, the Republicans and a and a large majority of those Republicans aligned with the Democrats to stifle any possible positive outcome in terms of um what the American people wanted to send to Trump's desk. And that is where we ended up getting the one big beautiful bill that was a compromise between the Republicans and the Democrats, and it was the only thing that they did while they were there. And what did it do? It reallocated a bunch of funds and it spent a lot more. And that's it. That's it. It didn't it didn't help anyone outside of very specific sectors of American people, the regular people, very small sectors of the American people. And then it gave a lot of the outsized um benefits to the top tier. And now I get it because of the growth and we did see the growth accelerate in terms of investment back here in the United States. And that's a combination of the one big beautiful bill and the tariff scare and all of this other stuff, right? It forces the manufacturing to come back here and commit the money to build. The problem is, is that the Republicans injected so much garbage into that bill, along with the Democrats, that it ends up being a net negative for the American people, and then they sat on their hands and didn't codify any of the things that would be positive for the American people. And that's land squarely on the shoulders of the Republicans. And squarely on the shoulders of John Thune, who needs to be kicked the hell out of Congress. [David] [18:08] That's why [Guest: Name] [18:13] You got to get rid of them. [David] [18:15] You got to get rid of every single person that has been sitting there for 30, 40 years, man. [Guest: Name] [18:19] Well, they got rid of themselves, brother. They're going to be gone in January, the majority of those. [David] [18:24] But you know what? I like I said, the only party that I believe that can bring sanity back here and stop what's coming is the Republican Party, respectfully. Because I I I don't know. Unless the Democrats are going to wake up and say, oh my God, [Guest: Name] [18:41] The the Democrats are already in chaos and fighting each other. They're they're not even in office and they're already taking hip pieces out on each other in the media. [David] [18:49] Because I don't believe that well, I believe they understood what they were doing here. [Guest: Name] [18:56] Of course. [David] [18:56] They opened up Listen, they opened up they opened up their arms to Hassan Piker and them, right? They're like, you know what, like we'll we'll use these people to take out Trump, we'll take out the Republicans. Now they can't close that door. And now they're giving orders. [Guest: Name] [19:14] They're trying, but they can't. [David] [19:16] So now they you might you might see this happen. You might see some old school Democrats that want to keep their seats align with Republicans to try to get the DSA candidates either out or away from any potential seats. And they probably rather would get Republicans into office in 2028 versus getting more DSA people in that will cost them their jobs. [Guest: Name] [19:43] I agree. [David] [19:44] There's no way that there's no way they will continue on this path, knowing that, oh my God, [Guest: Name] [19:51] But they're also insane. [David] [19:53] Well, they're going to set the DSA candidates uh they're they're going to set them up and and and then they're going to sabotage them and pull the rug out from underneath them. You can see them already beginning to paint the narrative. Um, you're going to see them when they're in Congress, uh, you're going to see them pump them up to watch them get beat. That is what the Democrats are going to do. That is the playbook. They're very, very good at it. You know, this is the thing that Democrats have been good at for a very, very long time, the PR game. Doesn't matter it's not about what they do, it's about the PR that they put out. And they're very good at doing it to themselves. I mean, you don't have to look too too much further back to go back to the Biden nomination, right? It it all you got to do is look at Biden being nominated. They pulled the rug on the entire uh Democrat Party. They did it again with Kamala. They defy the will of the voters all the time. They have mechanisms in the Democrat Party that have been there for a very long time. If the DSA candidates think that they are going to seize control of those mechanisms, they are fools. And they're going to what's going to happen is, I think they're going to be a wholly ineffective Congress because the Democrats are going to be sabotaging themselves on both sides between the DSA and the traditional Democrats. And what you're going to see emerge from this though, is you're going to see a bunch of Democrat centrists start to be um given the the spotlight in media that is going to try and pull things back to the middle. And they're going to be having conversations, like you said, with these more centrist Republicans, and they're going to be it's going to be this Kumbaya moment between centrist Democrats where they're going to position themselves at least as centrist. And then you're going to have uh Republicans position themselves as centrist against the extremes. And and the extremes are going to you're going to see this narrative develop over the course of next year coming into 2028, when the nominations start to because it's 2027 is the groundwork being laid for 2028. And [David] [21:52] I I I just don't know I don't I honestly, I got to tell you, Landy, I I don't know who's the voice of the Republican Party. Because push away Trump. Just push away Trump, okay? Push Trump to the side. Number one, right now, JD Vance is not the lead anymore. It's it's him, Rubio, and DeSantis. Those are the three. There's no Maybe one or two at an outside shot, but those are really the three. That that's it. Rubio to me is the most likely. If if you want to go with somebody now, like I was I was willing to give JD I was I've been on here a lot talking about, hey, I I defending him in a sense. But him not pushing away from Tucker and all them him coming out with his own personal note on social media addressing the situation. You can see like Trump was uncomfortable. Like you can see when Trump wants to really say something, but he's holding back. I I I Listen, he's given him credit right now as he's been There's been reports from Israeli media that Trump ripped apart BB on the telephone call yesterday. Saying that they are going to negotiate for peace and they're not going to start back up, you know, they're not going to start any attacks at this current moment. BB wants to start attack. Of course. BB See, BB wants to finish the job. [Guest: Name] [23:30] I'm not saying that Trump doesn't [David] [23:30] BB is also saber rattling Palestine. And that that was a part of the conversation from what we're hearing is um that he was like, you're not doing this again with Palestine. Like and and [Guest: Name] [23:44] Yeah, that's [David] [23:44] because it's an extension of the Iran stuff. [Guest: Name] [23:48] It's done, man. [David] [23:49] You you know what? He he respectfully, man, this this dude needs to resign. But then like if he resigns, you get a the person behind him is worse than BB. [Guest: Name] [24:02] Well, I mean, [David] [24:03] I'm telling you right now. [Guest: Name] [24:04] Trump's trying to wrap up two different things here at the same time, right? And BB's a threat to actually throw a wrench into the Ukraine, Russia conflict as well. Because through the through the geopolitical kind of pipeline for uh, um, you know, parroting information and where uh, you know, where the ball's kind of moving, what did Trump say? What have we been hearing about Russia and Ukraine? We've been hearing that there is substantial and this is this was kind of coming out before the midterms, that there is substantial movement on talks behind the scenes, especially after Trump went after Zelensky over the diesel, um, and hitting the diesel refiners and raising global prices on diesel pre-election. Um, well, there was already supposedly uh talks happening behind the scenes. And what did what did the um, what did the administration talk about? What did Rubio talk about? What is uh Besant talked about? That Iran is not what they were. We are at a stage where they are not even close to what they were, and the economic stuff has been working. And you can see it, by the way, you can see it in the markets, you can see it in what's going on, that um, they are not what what they once were. I I of course, and you of course, would like to see the mullahs out of power there. But whatever ends up happening, we know that they are a diminished uh threat from what they used to be. [David] [25:34] For sure. [Guest: Name] [25:35] Um, and I think that more importantly is BB's threat to start anything up with Palestine and Iran again is his way of saber rattling the United States. And I think JD is part of the problem because JD was there before anything started. He was he was out there talking to BB before anything started with Iran. And I think JD has been the central problem in the administration the entire time. He couldn't wrangle Congress. He couldn't he he couldn't stop BB from taking action. He also couldn't uh nail a negotiation down and literally got pulled for Kushner.

[Part 4 of 9] [David] [00:00] and um, um, uh, God, why can't I? Yeah, but But they're not good respectfully, they didn't do shit anyway either. I mean. [Caller] [00:10] Uh, well, I mean, they're part of You can't do anything against this. You can't do anything against this regime. They're crazy. Iran. They're part of the reason why no money is flowing economically to Iran right now. [David] [00:20] But what I'm saying is this regime is crazy, man. This is a crazy regime. You don't you can't negotiate with terrorists, man. I don't know. [Caller] [00:28] I don't think Well, I told you, there was never a real the United States never really wanted to negotiate with them. It was more about the proxies. [David] [00:36] But you can't negotiate with these people. They they're wanting to take their lives, man. And like again, what I'm watching in America, what's happening in America, I I I'm more concerned with what's happening in America than I am with what's happening, you know, across the, you know, across the pond and shit like that. I don't care. [Caller] [00:53] Yeah, of course. [David] [00:53] I I'm going to just say that respectfully, I don't give a shit no more. I'm so tired of us printing money, sending it foreign aid, all this stuff towards other countries. Yeah, we don't give a fuck about ours. And and look, because we've took our eyes off of our own country and we're so obsessed with helping everybody else and and I'm sure there's interest that comes with helping others. But we've taken the we've we've taken our eyes off of what's happening here in the United States of America. We really have. And I'm not I'm not holding back anymore. I haven't hold for the last week, I've just ripped the bandaid off. I don't give a shit no more. I don't care. I don't care. It needs to be said because nobody wants to say it. slowly people are starting to talk about it. They're you know what? The mess never mind, you know what? Fuck it. [Caller] [01:49] Fuck it. [David] [01:50] Fuck it. You know what? [Caller] [01:51] David, one of the things that I will say here is and I've said it for a while, the underpinnings of the economy here in the United States have been continuously Yes, it is, because that's what the American people were voting based on is what their feelings were about the economy. [David] [02:06] Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. [Caller] [02:09] You said this yourself and I I admitted a while ago that you were right. I but here's the thing. What the underpinnings of the economy [David] [02:17] But hold on, Landy. I'm I'm going to stop you in your tracks for a second. Yeah, I said that, but We had Van Jones come out and admit to exactly what the Democrats did. And the Republican Party had no answer. Let's let's just be honest. They had no answer. They were 300, 400 million. [Caller] [02:42] They did have an answer. Their answer was to not do anything. [David] [02:46] No, okay, you know what I'm talking. Van Jones was out there goes, the Republican Party had no clue what we were doing. We were pushing out messages. I said this yesterday, nobody in the Republican Party talked about the economy being strong and making a huge comeback from where it was. Okay? Nobody even talked about this one point that I brought up yesterday. People got back huge tax returns. [Caller] [03:13] Yes. [David] [03:14] That should have offset and you know how I've been very vocal on the price of gas and fuel and all that stuff, right? But if most of most of America, most Americans got big tax returns back, you're still up even with the price of goods and and and fuel being up. You're still up. You still got money because of those tax returns. If anything, you even doubt. Nobody talked about this. Not a single Republican talked about [Caller] [03:45] And they didn't talk about the expansion under Trump, which you wouldn't even think about, the expansion of the social safety net programs under Trump. You had increases in in social security payouts. You had um decreases in taxes on social security payouts. [David] [04:00] Crime went down. Borders less people came basically zilch. [Caller] [04:07] Nobody. From both sides. Yeah. And you had Democrats, by the way, that won by telling people that they that they actually agreed with that policy, by the way, on borders. [David] [04:19] But it's crazy that it's that Democrats used [Caller] [04:22] They ran on Trump's agenda. [David] [04:24] Exactly. That's what I'm saying. The Democrats took the good from the Republicans. And then also, I'm telling you, the biggest thing was they pulled at the strings. Okay? Where people and I kept on saying this, a lot of people are doing great in the markets, but there are people that aren't. There are people that are coming to the gas pump and like, shit, I can't afford this. Or I can't fill up. [Caller] [04:52] It's the leftover from from, you know, post-COVID, right? And it's still leftover. That's an albatross from post-COVID. And one of the things that, you know, the inflation numbers that we've had even with all of the things that have gone on just this year alone, far below that the post-COVID inflation metrics, right? And it's still the system is kicking that out. One of the one of the core things I think that you're going to see, and I've I told you this and I'm going to I'm going to keep repeating it, is you're going to see that affordability will come back. And it's not going to be because of Democrat policy, it's going to be because the economy's underpinnings are strengthening, but they are going to trumpet it as it's because of them. [David] [05:34] I don't disagree with you. I don't disagree with you there. But it's a message. It's going it's going to come back. Right? The the problem is, okay, here's the if if people understood what is happening to America, I think reasonable people would have been able to swallow it and say, you know what? I know Trump can stop this. Or I know that the Republican Party could stop this from happening. [Caller] [06:09] They didn't the Republican Party didn't do anything to codify Trump's agenda, which is why they're gone. [David] [06:16] And that's good. We need more of them gone and we need new blood to come in here. Like again, I I use the example of Gill, representative Gill, I think I just think he's a superstar, bro. Like I really do think that. I'm not blowing smoke up his ass. I I just think he's really well spoken. He's good and he wants to pass he really is about Trump's agenda. [Caller] [06:40] Well, he does diverge in some places, but he wants common sense. He wants common sense policy. [David] [06:46] I don't want him to I don't need him to agree 100% with Trump. [Caller] [06:48] Exactly. [David] [06:49] I I I need him to he's somebody that can go out and be relatable with the people. Bottom line. Like that's somebody that can go out there and he's relatable. Like he understands. These fossils that we have here since the dinosaur era. They ain't campaigning. Like they're not doing anything. My whole thing is that if the Republican Party actually had You know what it is? Like my mind is just stuck on if in the next two years we don't take this seriously, the Muslim Brotherhood is going to take over this country. [Caller] [07:39] Um, like to see that. [David] [07:42] I'm not saying in two years. What I'm saying is they will solidify themselves. And a decade from now, [Caller] [07:51] Yeah. [David] [07:52] Everything that's happened during this midterm. And listen, it it's started way it's it probably started a decade ago already. But what I'm saying is this this particular midterm was big. It was absolutely huge for the DSA. You get El Sayed to in office for the next six years. That's big. You go allow him to solidify himself into that position. You you get where I'm coming from, right? [Caller] [08:25] Yeah, I mean, either way he was going to have a political action committee. Um, but what what happened? [David] [08:30] No, everybody complains about APAC. Are we going to complain about Habibi Pack or no? [Caller] [08:36] Or is that good? No, no. The left can't do that because if they started to complain about that, [David] [08:41] No, no, no, I'm talking. I'm not asking Trump. I'm not asking for the Republican Party or Trump to complain about it. I'm just saying the American citizen didn't want APAC. [Caller] [08:50] The left complains about this and the far right. And none of them are going to complain about it. [David] [08:54] But are they going to have the same energy? I thought No. This guy, this guy's Abdul said, I want to take money out of politics, right? All of a sudden, Habibi Pack is here. And it's going to bring money towards [Caller] [09:06] He also took the most amount of corporate money. He took the most amount of foreign and corporate money as he's saying, I want money out of politics. So yeah, no, he's a bullshitter. [David] [09:16] This is such a psyop. Like you I don't know why nobody sees it for what it is. Yeah. It's crazy. I am telling you the I am [Caller] [09:35] That's only because they made it uncomfortable to talk about. They made it into a racial they really did. They made it into a race issue. Like, oh my God, you're racist if you say it. No, I'm not racist if I say it. Well, you're racist if you're telling me I'm racist. The the the left is amongst the left is even more racist than the far right. And they've proven this every step of the way. Um, they just do it with kid glove racism, right? They essentially, um, dress everything up, um, in a in a manner of we care about them, therefore they should have their own safe spaces and segregation and like all of this other stuff that they are proponents of, um, is actually in intensely racist policies. And you know, the the classic they always go back to is, you know, a bunch of liberals that uh think that black people don't know where the DMV is, right? Like it's the it's the racism of low expectations. Um, they're well known for this. They've been doing it a long time. Um, but the the grift there is is, yeah, we'll allow you to be racist against us as a group as long as you give us something for it. And that's actually a deep rooted problem in the United States when it comes to minority communities, is they allow these high falutin champagne socialist racist racism, um, as long as they get a piece of the action. And and [David] [11:10] You know who I find to be racist? [Caller] [11:12] You know who I find to be racist? The people that say that, you know, somebody's racist. [David] [11:16] They're usually the racist people. [Caller] [11:18] They're always the racists. Yeah, always. [David] [11:21] The problem that we have here in this country is the woke white liberal. [Caller] [11:24] Exactly. [David] [11:26] And I don't know why I don't know how [Caller] [11:28] I mean, woke of any color. [David] [11:30] Just no, no, but just the woke white liberal really is like when you watch, Landy, when you watch the news, right? Who is it that's always in the crowd yelling? It's the woke white liberal. That you know, Black Lives Matter. It's the woke white liberal out there. [Caller] [11:51] Yeah. And then what did they do? The they're all racist about every all their talking points. Well, well, yelling BLM. [David] [12:02] Uh, when people come out and say, I'm ashamed to be white. What? [Caller] [12:10] Yeah, look, [David] [12:11] What are you What are you saying? Yo, I'm telling you, this brainwashing. These liberal professors I'm this country is so smoked. Like, you should be proud to be who you are. The whole, oh, I'm so ashamed of being white. I I don't hear other cultures talk like this. I'm telling you, it's the woke white liberal. [Caller] [12:48] Well, you know, [David] [12:49] Look at Landy. Landy's like, damn. [Caller] [12:51] Yeah, it is. The woke white liberal is is a large part of the problem um in this country socially. [David] [12:57] But they're in everybody's fucking business. [Caller] [13:00] Yeah, and and you must respect anything they say or else. Or else they become the first They love everyone unless you disagree with them. Then then then then the threat of violence is on the table for them. [David] [13:16] You can't even have a conversation. Like I I am attempting to have conversations with so-called Democrats, right? I grew up as a Democrat. But when you grow up in New York City, you're automatically a Democrat. [Caller] [13:36] I work for you. [David] [13:37] You can even say that. The Republicans don't even the Republican Party doesn't even try anymore in New York City. They don't even try. There's not even an attempt to try to win here. Like there's no attempt. That's why Mandani won. There was no attempt. And having a Republican run, a real Republican run for mayor. Like you don't have that. The last Republicans that we had here were Pataki and Giuliani. And look at what New York was under them. And even Bloomberg. [Caller] [14:11] Was a destination. [David] [14:12] Look at Bloomberg, Giuliani and Pataki. Look how look how New York was, New York City was under them. It was thriving. [Caller] [14:20] Yep, it was a destination. You needed and wanted to be in New York during those times. I wanted to kind of back [David] [14:26] You weren't scared. You weren't scared to go to Times Square and walk Times Square 2:00 in the morning. No. You knew the yo, the way the Republicans had it in New York City, you had other states and even countries asking if New York City police officers can come to their country to train their armies. Look it up. [Caller] [14:53] Yep. [David] [14:54] That's that's how effective New York City was under Rudy Giuliani. Okay? That's how effective it was with Pataki in office. It all worked. More businesses were happy to be here because they weren't getting taxed up the ass. [Caller] [15:14] And it had you had the strongest job market in the world was in New York City. [David] [15:21] Crazy. Everybody wanted to be in New York. And then all of a sudden, for some reason, we decided to say, what was this guy's name that was eating a hamburger during the pandemic? trying to force to get that needle? [Caller] [15:36] Oh, um, [David] [15:36] What's this guy's name, bro? Who was the mayor? The first the Blazio, the first socialist. Yeah. You decided to say, yeah, you know what? We have it way too good. We need to bring in a socialist. [Caller] [15:51] It is the bicycle meme where you stick where they just stick the the the stick in the spokes of the bicycle and fall over and then blame somebody else. That really is the meme. But realistically, you know, kind of going back to the Habibi Pack stuff, one of the things that you're going to see is, you know, the Muslim world is not they're not a block, right? You've got Shia and Sunni and they're always even Shia within their own politics are always fighting with each other. Um, and then you've got Sunni fighting with each other and fighting with Shia. What you're going to see is, um, you're going to see a back end, um, Sunni influx into influence this Habibi Pack. And and it's going to be a counter to the Muslim Brotherhood stuff. You're going to see this develop in the United States into and this is this is by the way, because we're going to become a much more Muslim, um, um, uh, uh, we're going to see a much larger Muslim minority within the country over time. And what you're going to see is it's all going to be back ended through what would be considered the the Muslim Brotherhood Pack. Yeah. But it's actually going to be money from Sunni and everyone else to influence and gain control because it is going to act as a vector. And what you're going to see is they're going to court the right. You're going to see you're going to see uh Islamic right-wing candidates on deck. They're being prepared right now. I'm telling you, right now, you're going to see Muslim centrist that are primarily Sunni that are going to be uh rising through the ranks of the Republican side. The bid is already in. They're already doing it. And it is, um, all part of a much larger plan out of the Middle East to have more influence over politics in the United States. And it's from both sides. It's both Shia and Sunni. And you and it's all via Qatar and Saudi Arabia. We've seen this developing since 2022, especially. This is when they started to court, especially out of Saudi Arabia, they started to court all of the major stars in the United States to come to Saudi Arabia, uh UAE, um and really integrate, um, a lot of the the upper levels of the society here in the United States with the the movers and shakers in the Middle East, because they want more control. And and by the way, this is out of necessity for them. And you must understand that it's out of necessity for them because they are they're over the British control. The control that London has exercised in the Middle East. They're over it and they want out. And it's on all sides. They all want out of this control via London and they know that the United States can act as a vector, um to help them get out of that control. And believe it or not, they're actually all outside of Iran, all very friendly with this particular administration. And this particular administration has allowed for a lot of investment on the tech side of things, a lot of investment on the infrastructure side of things from the Middle East as a check on the control that London has over the Middle East because now you have American interests there. And the the Middle East doesn't want Americans to pull out of the Middle East. They want us there. They need us there. And you're going to see more influence, um, on both the left and the right, uh from Middle Eastern players, both Shia and Sunni. You're going to see a pack probably come out of it's going to be via the Habibi Pack. We're already seeing who's starting to come in there and it's not Shia. It's Sunni. And you're going to start to see the different countries that are investing over there and then you're going to see the equivalent on the right. [David] [19:46] We'll talk about it more either today or tomorrow. Um, good topics to talk about. We'll continue the conversation. Especially for Friday to wrap up the show. Appreciate you coming on. Yesterday, did you do your uh did you do your show or no? [Caller] [20:03] I I'm uh losing connection here. Can you still hear me? [David] [20:07] I hear you. [Caller] [20:09] Um, I I was unable to do a show. I was traveling yesterday, so uh I will have a show on Friday though. [David] [20:15] There you go, guys. You can tune in to Landy's show. The only puppet that I let on a professional show is Landy. You can go ahead and tune in 8:00 p.m. uh Eastern time and he'll recap everything that's happening in the markets. Landy, I might talk to you later today or we'll see you tomorrow. [Caller] [20:35] All right, thanks, David. [David] [20:36] Thank you, man. Appreciate you, brother. That's Landy, man. If you want to understand what's happening in the markets, even politics, go ahead and tune into Landy at Cryptolandy. Uh, you can find them on on X formerly known as Twitter. Let's bring in uh, let's go ahead and bring in our next guest. If I can find the overlay, it'll be absolutely phenomenal. It'll be phenomenal if I find the overlay. Absolutely great if I find the overlay. Let's see if I find it. Look at this. There we go. I found the overlay. Let's bring in uh, Carlos has been waiting. I think he's going to be absolutely uh, and our staff again gives nobody water. So I appreciate that. Uh, let's bring in Carlos. Carlos, how's it going? Pleasure to have you on the show. [Guest: Carlos] [21:21] Thank you. Thanks for having me, Dave. Real real pleasure to be here. [David] [21:25] Uh, what's your uh, well, before we go into before we go into all uh, sheer will and and stuff, um, what did you think about the election, the midterms? Uh, any take on it? [Guest: Carlos] [21:38] I thought it was amazing. It was an amazing night. You know, we talk about whether we're losing our system, whether it's breaking down, whether our institutions don't work anymore. And for that night, we proved that yes, we everything is still working. And this is not a political statement, but the American people showed that they have a voice and that they're paying attention. I thought it was just amazing, amazing. [David] [22:07] I listen, whatever side you're on, if you're an American, I I feel like the system worked and and that's it. And and uh [Guest: Carlos] [22:16] And that's the important thing. [David] [22:18] Did I want was I looking for a different outcome? Yeah, but it is what it is. That's the United States of America. The people vote. I feel like people voted based on how they feel today and that is uh they're, you know, people talked about affordability and that being a major thing for them. Um, and speaking of that, I want to ask you, why write sheer will now and what's the one lesson you want readers to take from that? [Guest: Carlos] [22:45] Well, uh, thank you for asking that. I was uh diagnosed with ADHD several years ago. I know I have a an interesting story, but that added to it. Um, and I think there are a lot of lessons in my life and my career, people can learn from it. So I want to give back. I want to contribute. I hope there are people who take something from this and say, I can use this. So basically, I was born in Cuba, US uh uh came to the US after the revolution. Uh, Miami, New York, we became citizens and went to Mexico. And I started my career in Mexico City as a sales representative. I was selling to mom and pop stores. You know, kind of the small what they call Changaros in in in Mexico. And I loved it. Um, I don't have a college degree to add to the ADHD problem. But 25 years later, I was the corporate CEO. So this is the story about how do how did I do that? How did I go from here to here? And it's, you know, it's it's it's great in the sense that there are stories there for people, leadership, business. Uh, I would say if I had to put one word on it, it would be people. Uh, people push you up. You're not you don't necessarily get pulled up, but people, people will make or break you. And the second thing is uh uh dealing with people, it's all about trust. You know, if people trust you, they'll support you and that, you know, throughout my career, I worked hard to gain trust. [David] [24:11] Um, listen, to get a position like being the former US Commerce Secretary, amazing. Um, maybe we'll talk a little bit about that. You went from being as you stated, an immigrant kid to a sales rep for Kellogg and being a Kellogg CEO. What did sheer will look like on that climb? [Guest: Carlos] [24:34] Well, you know, sheer sheer will came in handy. Uh, being CEO because there, you know, you're all alone and you're the only one who can make certain decisions. If you don't make them, they don't get made. And many of those decisions require grit, require courage. They're not guaranteed. So I had several. I, you know, I had to downsize. I had to close a plant. I had to change the company's approach to the way we operate the business. We made acquisitions. Um, but all that was a function, I would say of of of sheer will, just not being willing to say, you know, I can't do this. You know, this is the only country in the world where if you if you tell someone that they're ambitious, that's high praise. And I think as immigrants, we need to learn that as soon as we can. That that's part of how you get into society. You're encouraged to do that. You're celebrated if you do that. So, uh, I took that to heart. [David] [25:37] Tariffs, uh, as a former Commerce Secretary, do they protect American workers or do uh consumers pay the bill? [Guest: Carlos] [25:45] Well, uh, some tariffs may protect American workers. Um, I don't think we need as many tariffs as we have. We have tariffs on copper. Well, we don't make enough copper. You know, and we're not going to make enough copper for the next five to seven years. Uh, we have tariffs on textiles. Are we trying to bring back textiles to the US? This is the age of AI, right? So I think we can we can be a lot more surgical, a lot more

[Part 5 of 9] [Guest: Carlos Gutierrez] [00:00] strategic. I think we need to look at the industries of the future. I don't believe we should be focused on bringing back the industries of the past. Uh it it it's just not uh not as productive as it as it should be. So, tariffs are a problem. I think the good thing about tariffs is that if you take them out, that will be a contribution to lowering inflation, right? Because right right now they're they're embedded in that inflation number. So, uh and then with tariffs come our partners and our allies and it's been messy, it's been very messy. But but tariffs at some point they will come down. There's no way they can stay that way. And yes, as you answer, as you asked, the consumers pay, you know, if if the tariff is 10%, if you're the importer, you pay 10%. And then you sell that product, most likely you're going to increase the price by 10%. Um, so if that is an income for the federal government, we can brag about the fact that income tax is an income for the federal government. You know? So, yeah, tariffs will will go away. They some may stay, but but I I think that whole regime will will uh will disappear. [David] [01:08] But is it really like a negotiating tool at the end of the day, the tariff? [Guest: Carlos Gutierrez] [01:13] It is. No, no question it is. There's no question it is and in that in that case, uh, sure, the the president's right. I think the thing is is does it help us or hurt us? So we're we are we would be threatening to do something that we know may hurt us. So it's not that credible, but with some countries, no question. Tariffs can be a a very useful tool. But again, they're not they're not guaranteed to help you. [David] [01:42] Do you think it's helped us with China? [Guest: Carlos Gutierrez] [01:46] China is they've gotten to the point where they will not allow us to to show that we can hurt them. They will never show us where we can hurt them, where they are vulnerable. So, uh, they they will not uh they'll complain. But as you remember, when we took tariffs up to 100%, they they matched. So, um, that that is a new China, by the way. Ten 10, 15, 20 years ago, China was um manageable, let's say. Today, China is the second largest economy. They are uh they haven't grown as fast, but they have solidified their system, their model. And they're not apologizing for their model. Their model is centralized, top-down. And they're no longer saying, okay, we we'll change in the future. China is what China is. [David] [02:40] Um, is the US economy uh heading for a soft landing or a slowdown? [Guest: Carlos Gutierrez] [02:46] Tell you what worries me about the US economy. We have been through so much and and we have we have survived and we have uh excelled. Tariffs, uh lack of labor because we have labor shortages throughout the country. Um, oil. These have been big impacts, but the economy has resisted. The economy continues to be uh incredibly resilient. What worries me about the economy is AI. And we we should recognize that look, AI has a big uh a big contribution to economic growth, a big contribution to the economy. Even as we're talking about Nvidia, uh people who bought Nvidia stock five or six years ago are feeling rich, even with the decline last few days. So if that if the stock market declines and Nvidia goes with it, and I'm talking about a you know, a serious correction, that will impact consumer spending, that will impact GDP. So, uh and and it's getting to the point where I think uh I'm not the only one who's worried. [David] [03:53] I hope that it's more so of a soft landing. Um, what did you learn running commerce that politicians today don't get about the business? [Guest: Carlos Gutierrez] [04:04] Well, many most politicians do not come from the world of business. Um, I think the problem with with uh Washington politicians and and business is because they don't understand it, they can very easily simplify it to the point where it's irrelevant. Um, government politics is is a a game of perception. Business is a game of results, right? You either have the numbers or you don't have the numbers. Uh, in in politics, in Washington, it's how are you perceived? And if you're perceived to be a good guy, if you're perceived to be someone who cares about good causes, uh, that's good for you. There there is no perception in business. Either you have the numbers or you don't have the numbers, you know? [David] [04:49] That's so true. That is absolutely so true. I already asked you this, but where does America stand on trade with China right now? [Guest: Carlos Gutierrez] [04:57] Yeah, look, with China, we have to find a way forward, right? So, uh we don't know yet how to talk about China. It's the Communist Party. It's uh the reality is the second largest economy in the world. We have to do business with them. We have to deal with them. And yes, they're tricky, they can be rascals, but look, 95% of our trade with China works. You ask US companies, they're they're all complaining, right? But you ask them, how's your business doing? Well, everything's up 15%, revenue's up 20. So we need to find a way. We need to find a way to coexist with China. This idea of decoupling is crazy. We're well beyond that. I don't believe. I think we also we also overestimate China's desire for war. Um, and that could trigger action from our part. I I worry about all these things. People talk about we're going to war with China. China is China, you know, uh increase their military so they can take over the world. China has never had a war outside of Asia. China's wars have been Vietnam, uh Korea. Uh this it's not in their DNA. They don't want to take over the world. What they want to do is be the best business country in the world. They are business people, they're capitalists, they're very transactional. So we should be worried on the economic front. That's where they want our position. They they want our economic position and they're they're relentless. [David] [06:31] Is there a way to negotiate a good and fair deal for both sides? [Guest: Carlos Gutierrez] [06:36] Yeah, the thing about China is they're very good negotiators. You know, they've been at this for a long time. What they do is they come to the table with one or two issues. This this is what we want. We come to the table with 25 things because we're representing business, we're representing other interests. And it it gives them strength because, you know, they can knock down any one of our asks and they can pick and choose because we haven't done anything for their ask. So we have to give them something so that they can they can expand their generosity. And those two things are the hardest. It's it's a it's a negotiating tactic that I found with unions in Mexico, and it's very effective. I wanted them to come to the table with 10 things so we can choose and pick and and trade. So that that makes it especially difficult with China. They also, you know, they don't have a culture of uh as we say, the the sanctity of a contract. Um, for the Chinese, if you're a friend of the Chinese, they expect the friendship to be more important than the contract. So we have to get to the point where breaking a contract has to be hurtful for them. And they've been very clever about you know, ensuring that that they don't have that kind of vulnerability. So, uh, it has to mean something for them. Negotiations, we have to make sure that if they don't deliver, it will hurt. And right now, tariffs and other things, they they've known that they can do that, that they can absorb that. [David] [08:07] They said they're willing to I remember them just saying, we're willing to take this on and and we'll wait this out. We have no problem. Um. [Guest: Carlos Gutierrez] [08:14] Yeah, exactly. Exactly. [David] [08:16] Crypto and digital assets, uh where where should uh Washington land on regulation? [Guest: Carlos Gutierrez] [08:22] Well, I think there will be uh regulation. My sense has been that we can very easily fall into the trap of overregulating. Um, and I'm thinking about AI. The um European Union, their their their instinct is let's regulate and as they do that, they overregulate. And and that's why the European Union hasn't grown in decades. So I think a light touch, I think we have to do something, but regulation typically goes overboard when it's written. You know, people want to invent the perfect world in that 1,500 page bill. Um, so I think we have to be careful. Uh I also like the idea of self-regulation. I think we need to I know that's going to be uh challenged now with Jensen. But that also holds companies accountable. So, yes, we need regulation, but let's not overdo it. Let's not overdo it in the sense that we're going against AI. We want to, you know, really put AI in its place. I I don't we don't want to do that. [David] [09:26] Would less regulation allow our GDP to grow? [Guest: Carlos Gutierrez] [09:30] I believe so. That's a great question because that's what regulation essentially limits. It it it starts creating boundaries for business. Those boundaries limit the growth of a company. So, absolutely. It it's uh regulation at large impacts the economy. I think that's why Europe has been flat and stagnant for so long. They have overregulated. You can't make a move as a business, so people prefer to invest elsewhere. So, yes, we we need to be careful. I worry about, you know, Democrats are coming in. Are they going to, you know, uh have revenge for the lack of regulation we've had? That would be a problem. That would be the the pendulum. [David] [10:13] What would you tell a young entrepreneur starting with nothing today? [Guest: Carlos Gutierrez] [10:18] Well, what I would say is you are fortunate enough to have been born in this country. And this is the only country in the world, the only country where if you call someone ambitious, it is high praise. So, uh, you have permission to be ambitious. You don't have to hide. [David] [10:56] I don't know if we're having technical difficulty. [David] [11:00] Uh, we're we're still on here with the breakdown. We are live. Um, hopefully we can get the former US Commerce Secretary back on, uh, to finish up, uh, a question or two here. Uh, I'm I'm going to check. We'll go check with the team right now to see if, uh, we can get him back on. Seems like we've stalled out. Um, welcome to the breakdown for those that are tuning in. For those that are tuning in, we are live. We are live with the former US Commerce Secretary. This is episode 824, sponsored by Midnight. Midnight is the sponsor, the title sponsor of this show. Also, Polymarket, Cake Wallet, and FOMO. Uh, we are waiting here. Uh, we should hopefully we'll have him back on. Connection problems, it happens. Live show. I'm a professional. I know how to carry on. Um, but we shall wait. We shall wait for him to come on here. Uh, so we can go ahead and finish obviously the conversation. Really good conversation. Here's somebody who started with nothing and made it to the top, author of Sheer Will. Talks about his entire life and the drive that he's had to go ahead and achieve greatness. I mean, he has achieved greatness. We've also talked about tariffs. We've talked about China. We're talking about overregulation. Because there's a lot of regulation. I'm I'm telling you right now, way too much regulation. We have way too much regulation that goes on. Um, and I and I believe it that doesn't allow for our country to grow when we're overregulated in in most of our industries. As he stated, as Carlos did state, look at the UK. They've overregulated themselves to the point of they're not growing. They are absolutely not growing. We can't end up in that place. We can't end up in that position. The United States of America cannot end up in the position of overregulating themselves. You want to get out, if you want to get out of this deficit, in my personal opinion, less regulation, and you allow businesses to go ahead and compete and develop and innovate. That's it. And watch the revenue come in. The United States will thrive even more so. The United States will absolutely thrive with less over less regulation. And that's what the Republicans have done so far on the Trump. Less regulation. More clarity, less regulation. And from that, we shall see what happens. From that, we shall see what happens here in the next few years. With all the decisions that have been made, we will see if the economy grows or not. And look, the former US Commerce Secretary, he stated that with everything that's happening, I mean, the economy's thriving. So, again, less regulation, more clarity, less regulation, embrace technology, embrace AI. You spoke about AI. Embrace AI. Don't push it to the side. We need to be winning. We need to be dominating the space. We absolutely need to be dominating. Hopefully, we get back the former US Commerce Secretary who worked under George W. Bush, the former president. Former President George W. Bush. Because I wanted to ask him two more questions. I wanted to I'm going to say it here. I wanted to ask him two more questions. Bush happened to be one of he was one of my favorite presidents. I liked him. I felt like Bush was the type of I think Bush is the type of guy you can sit at a bar with. I don't drink, but I'm just saying you could just sit at a bar or lounge and you can just chill and and have a really good conversation. I feel that way. That that that's the that's the vibe he gave off. That's absolutely the vibe that he gave off. If we can't get him back on, hopefully we can get, uh, Carlos back on, the former US Commerce Secretary in a month, two or three months from now. I did want to finish up and talk about his book, Sheer Will. He's the author of Sheer Will. I would encourage everybody to go ahead and get that book. I like the fact, you know, I like people that come on to this show that are willing to talk about and and honestly talk about their life experiences. The ups and downs. Like I like that. I like when people come on to this show, notable people come on to this show, they're willing to go ahead and talk about what they had to go through, the obstacles they had to go through in order to achieve greatness. To me, like he's he's achieved the American dream. Coming over as an immigrant and then US the title speaks for itself, US Commerce Secretary. Can you imagine? And that's to tell everybody that if you work your ass off, there are no excuses. You can take advantage of all these opportunities that are out here for you. You can absolutely take advantage of all the opportunities. 100%. And that's why when I see what is happening in 4K and people aren't talking about it, I feel like I need to take the opportunity to say something. Because I don't want the United States of America to turn into I don't want the United States of America to turn into to France. I don't want that to happen. I don't. I don't want that to happen. I really don't. Welcome to the breakdown. Episode 824. So I I'm watching TikTok. TikTok right now has 220 and it had up to 300 concurring uh concurring viewers. Shout out to TikTok. We are now for the last few streams, we are able to be seen. I'm able to be seen on TikTok. I'm probably jinxing that right now. I'm probably going to jinx that. So somebody just asked, explain what's happening in France. What's happening in France as you've had a complete takeover. France is not recognizable anymore. And I don't want that to happen to the United States of America. And we are heading in that direction. We are absolutely heading in that direction. Somebody said, don't jinx it. And and I already said, as soon as I said that we are finally, a few days in a row, TikTok is finally working in our favor. I don't want to jinx it. I I really don't. But it's nice to see. Update, Instagram is up. I said that I'm going to go on. There's a there's a tweet that I put out. And and the tweet said, I'm about to go on a generational run and it has nothing to do with crypto. And few understood that. But I have come on here multiple times. I think not multiple, but one time and I came on here and I said, I'm about to go on a generational run. Because I recognize exactly what I needed to go ahead and do. As much as I love Twitter, I'm now on Threads, I'm on Instagram, I'm on on I'm on your I'm on your feet on TikTok. I'm on all these social media platform and my engagement is 50X there. I was so concerned with Twitter and trying to work Twitter in the gamified system that I didn't I was like, what what am I doing? Americans, I want to speak to Americans. I don't care if you're a Democrat, I don't care if you're a Republican, I don't care if you're an independent. The next two years will determine the future of our country. So I am speaking directly to you. The next two years will determine the outlook of our country.

[Part 6 of 9] [00:00] future of our country. [00:02] And I hope you take it seriously. [00:07] Because I do believe the invasion has already started. [00:11] 100% and nobody can tell me otherwise. [00:14] It has started. [00:26] And that's and that's truth. [00:31] And we need more people to open up their eyes. Again, to get your party affiliation. [00:38] Forget about your political affiliation. That doesn't matter anymore. If you love America, [00:46] if you love America, then open up your eyes and realize what's happening. [00:57] Because if you don't, freedom of speech will be taken away from us. [01:02] The second Amendment, that'll be torn up. Things will change. [01:10] It might not happen in two years, but the setup is happening within these two years. [01:17] For it to happen in the next decade. [01:21] I see it. [01:24] I understand what communism is, not because I lived through it, but because my parents and grandparents escaped from it. [01:34] And I heard all the stories. [01:47] I've heard every single story. [01:56] And not enough Americans are speaking about these topics. [02:01] And there's not, it's not taboo to talk about it. [02:05] It really isn't. They have, they have conveniently told you that you are racist for [02:13] speaking of things that don't fit the fabric of the United States of America. And you have shut your mouth, [02:24] and you have sat back and you've watched. [02:37] Notice, [02:40] notice that Hasan Piker has no problem, [02:45] has no problem openly talking about [02:52] what he would like to see America become. [02:57] Notice how Sneako, that's his name? He has no problem talking about what he wants this country to become. [03:08] But as soon as somebody from the right, or somebody who's a proud American, [03:15] says something that counters that narrative, all of a sudden, that person is racist, that person's a bigot. How dare he or she? [03:27] That's how they shut you up. [03:33] Somebody, there has to be a yin and yang kind of thing, okay? [03:39] Neo, Agent Smith type of thing. There has to be [03:45] somebody out there, because we don't have that right now. There has to be somebody out there that is willing to talk [03:54] about America first. And I'm not talking about like how Nick Fuentes talks about it. I'm talking about America first, like real America, everybody included, America first. [04:06] And can and allow America to stand on what it was built on. [04:30] We got to take it seriously. We absolutely have to take it seriously. [04:37] Because if we don't, in the next decade, [04:42] you will not recognize America. And I will continue to say that. You will not recognize America. You know, it's funny with the voter ID issue, I which Lany was on here, and I made mention of this. [04:59] I made mention that we can't pass voter ID. [05:05] And you need voter ID, you need ID in general to get into [05:15] Let me rewind. You need voter, you need voter ID. You need ID [05:21] in order to rent a car, get liquor, get cigarettes, whatever. [05:29] You needed ID to go ahead and shovel two pieces of ID in order to shovel snow. [05:37] Ask Mandani. [05:39] Play the clips. You needed two pieces of ID. That's a Democrat socialist telling you you needed two pieces of ID in order to shovel snow. Let me say this again for you. [05:50] Mayor Mandani came out and told you last winter that you needed two pieces of ID in order to be paid for shoveling snow. [06:05] Yet we can't pass a voter ID bill in Congress. [06:12] To have people show ID in all 50 states, [06:18] when voting in our elections. [06:25] The subject right away goes to, oh, [06:29] you must be racist for asking ID. Or, now you're going to make people pay to get IDs. You already, don't you have IDs? [06:44] Because you need IDs out here in the United States of America. [06:49] I mean, I'm sure a lot of you guys have taken a trip out of your current state. You have gone on an airplane, you had to show ID, right? [07:00] So what's the problem? [07:06] It's only a problem when it comes to our elections? [07:10] Like no other country has this issue except the United States of America. [07:14] Where you California, you don't got to show ID. What what are we talking about? [07:28] We had an administration, the Biden administration that let in 10 to 15 million undocumented individuals into this country. [07:44] And they are illegally in this country. [07:47] They're not legally in this country. They're illegally in this country. [07:56] They're taking work away from American citizens. [08:05] American citizens are paying taxes. Undocumented individuals, most of them aren't. [08:11] And I'm sure, listen, I'm sure there are a few people that have come into this country that pay taxes even though they're undocumented. And I do agree there should be some sort of program for individuals that have been here for at least 10 years, that have [08:27] that have tried to be [08:33] really good individuals looking for a good life. There should be some sort of program. [08:42] As long as they paid their taxes and all, there's to be there could be a conversation there. [08:53] I have no problem, like seriously, looking for I have no problem if somebody has been here for 10, 15 years, undocumented, [09:01] though it is illegal, [09:04] if they have paid their taxes, they've committed no crimes, [09:10] you can have a I guess a conversation could be had. [09:15] A probationary period could be put on that individual. [09:20] But again, I understand the debate. [09:25] There are thousands, if not millions of people waiting online to get into the United States of America, [09:31] following the procedures and protocols that we have in place. [09:36] It's not fair to them. It's not fair to the people that are seeking to come to the United States of America for a better life, [09:44] who are doing the right thing [09:49] by waiting in line and following the procedures. [09:53] It's unfair to them that somebody can just get into this country, [10:00] and then they're given a mulligan kind of thing. It's unfair. It's not right. [10:07] Now, there's somebody that left a comment here, oh yes, because American citizens are going to go work in the fields, they prefer to get welfare. See, that's a racist comment. [10:21] That, I would say, reading that comment is racist. [10:33] Is that I'm going to read this comment again. Is this comment not racist? Oh yes, because American citizens are going to go work in the fields, they prefer to get welfare. [10:44] Now, don't get me wrong. [10:46] I believe the Democratic Party has made a ton of American people in our country lazy because you depend on the government [11:00] as your source of income. [11:06] So, on the welfare part, yeah, there are a lot of Americans that depend on welfare and snap benefits and programs, [11:14] because the Democrats have made sure that the messaging is, we'll take care of you. [11:23] So, a lot of Americans aren't taking the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunities that they have here in America. They are stuck depending on a political party to take care of them. [11:38] But as for the rest of your comment here, [11:41] so what are you trying to say? [11:44] Yes, because American citizens are going to go work in the fields, they prefer to be on welfare. So you are, are you saying, [11:54] are you belittling, [12:01] are you belittling, [12:08] Man, I can go any way, which way with this one. [12:21] They, you know what, people that come into this country undocumented, have no other choice [12:28] but to take on any job that they can get, that they get paid cash in. [12:42] Undocumented individuals have no other choice but to take, they what do you mean? An undocumented individual, what do you think? An undocumented individual that comes into the United States of America, they're going to get a corporate job and become a CEO? [12:56] Like what are we talking about? You think undocumented individuals coming through Mexico and Canada, which that doesn't happen no more under Trump, by the way. Trump sealed the borders, so we don't have millions of people rushing the gates [13:15] from God knows where. [13:19] But what do you, what do you think? That undocumented individuals, they're going to get a job as a CEO running running Microsoft or something? [13:28] No. They're going to take on any job they can get. [13:35] So if it, if it's them going out to the farms, [13:41] and farming, yeah, probably. [14:07] Crazy. [14:14] And you know what, Trump does not get credit for closing up the borders. Democrats have come out and stated, [14:23] have made a statement. They ran on this during their campaign. [14:30] That the borders are closed. It's a good thing. The borders are closed. [14:35] Undocumented individuals are not coming in to the United States of America. [14:59] It's crazy, man. This is, [15:03] you know what, Trump can cure cancer and it doesn't matter. They'll, [15:10] they'll have something to bitch about. [15:16] They'll actually complain about it working. They'll be like, Trump cured cancer. Well, we're not satisfied. You know why? Because it works. [15:34] It doesn't matter. Somebody just made a comment. I'm all for it in terms of, I'm all for it, let's see. I'm all for it, but Americans, I don't know, the comment went away. Hold on, let's see. I'm all for it, but most Americans are not going to go on a farm. Farmers don't pay well. [15:53] My brother, [15:55] okay? My brother, listen. That doesn't mean that we allow 10 to 15 million undocumented individuals [16:05] come into this country because Americans don't want to go ahead and work in the farms. [16:15] Undocumented, like we don't know who these people are. [16:20] They can steal your car. We we don't we don't know who it is who stole like your car gets stolen with well we don't know. [16:35] You're letting anybody into this country is Hold on. We have a every other country has a policy. [16:42] Every other country. We have a policy. But every other country has a policy on immigration. [16:50] Like if you get a 30-day visa [16:54] into Russia, after 30 days is up, you're out. [17:01] You can't overstay unless they allow for it. [17:07] Poland. You try that shit with Poland. Poland's throwing your ass out. [17:14] I'll name you countries that won't allow for it. [17:18] We are the only country that opened up the borders on both sides, [17:26] Canada and Mexico, and let in everybody. [17:37] We have policies in place. My parents, my parents were immigrants. They immigrated from Europe to America. They waited. They followed the procedures to come to America. Okay? They followed the guidelines to come to America. [17:57] They didn't jump the border, they they didn't jump the fence, they didn't crawl under it, they didn't fly over, okay, the fence, they didn't come on a boat. [18:12] And sneak in. [18:28] It's wild. It is absolutely, yo, we have lost our minds. We have we have absolutely lost our mind. Anybody who thinks that it's normal that the United States of America had open borders [18:45] and allowed undocumented individuals to come into this country. [18:50] We don't know if there were terrorists coming in. [18:56] We don't know how many terrorists we let into this country. [19:01] That are unaccounted for, that are working for Iran and other terrorist organizations. [19:07] We don't know who the hell we let in. [19:16] As an American, forget about being a Democrat or Republican, you should be angry. [19:23] Every single time an undocumented individual goes to a hospital, you're paying for it. [19:32] And you're you're not even getting that type of treatment that they are. [19:38] And you're here, oh yeah, campaign for for undocumented individuals to get in. [19:45] Like what is what is happening? [19:55] Well, you know, they'll say, oh, it's a Trump thing. [19:59] Oh, only maga talks like this. No, an American talks like this. Forget about maga, forget about Republicans, forget about Democrats, libertarians, Green Party. [20:10] An American would talk like this. An American who has a job, an American who pays taxes would talk like this. An American who sees infrastructure hasn't been taken care of would talk like this. Our infrastructure, our roads, the potholes here. [20:27] They're not potholes, they're landmines. [20:33] You think we'd be focused on our country? [20:37] And our people. How about our veterans I I keep talking about? Our vets who come back after serving to protect our asses. They come back to this country and they get absolutely dog shit. [20:50] What do they get? A VA pass? [20:53] I told you, instead of printing money and sending it to Ukraine and others, [21:01] Ukraine who can't account for money. They don't know where billions of dollars have gone. [21:08] Instead of sending them money, I told you, create jobs for vets who come back. Vets have a hard time getting jobs in the United States of America. How about we create jobs? And I told you, a job that we could create for for the vets that come out come back here who serve here, [21:29] to allow us to have these rights, First Amendment, second and all. [21:35] Create jobs, 100 grand per year for our vets to stand in front of schools. You'll have no more school shootings. [21:44] Have our vets stand in front of churches and synagogues. You'll have no more shootings. [21:51] You'll have a mentally ill person think twice before they do anything. Because you'll have a person there who loves America, who is willing [22:03] to give up their lives before you go ahead and take anybody else's. [22:18] These are the things, honestly, if I if I was a politician, these are the things that I would be trying to get done. [22:26] These are exactly the things that I would be trying to get done if I was in Congress. [22:33] I I'd try to figure out, how do we make American lives better? [22:48] How do we make Americans' lives better? That's and I would and obviously, you're fighting in DC, right? Because you have big pharmaceutical companies and banks that control everybody in Congress. [23:16] You know what I really want to see now? Since the Democrats will control the House and the Senate, there's no excuse now for the Epstein files, right? [23:25] I don't want to hear anything about the Epstein files come January 3rd. [23:30] Come January 3rd, I don't want to hear no excuses because the House and the Senate is fully controlled by the Democrats. So I want to see everything now. [23:43] And every Democrat that voted or for any person who voted for Democrats, [23:49] whether it was House or Senate, I want the same energy that you had for the last two years. [23:56] I want the same energy directed at the Democrats because I all you hear about is Epstein files. Now the House is controlled by the Democrats. Both the House and Senate. There are no excuses. [24:27] There are zero excuses. [24:30] You can't blame Trump now. [24:34] Even though Trump has signed off, stating that you can release all the files. Now there is no excuse on Congress not to. [24:47] That's it. No more excuses. Zero. [24:53] You can't blame Trump anymore. Take Trump out. Even though Trump signed, [24:59] signed off on releasing all the files, [25:02] Congress, I don't know what the fuck they were doing. [25:06] But now, you got the Democrats in power, right? No excuse. [25:14] Forget about going after Pete and trying to impeach him. Since everybody's biggest issue was the Epstein files, go ahead and release them. [25:23] Get to everybody else later about the impeachment shit. And wasting taxpayer dollars because nobody's going to get impeached. [25:31] Go after and show the people, the people that voted, show them everything that they want to see about Epstein. I want to see it too. So Democrats, I'm holding you. [25:44] I am absolutely going to be watching every single day. [25:51] For the next two years, there are no excuses. Zero. [26:01] But there will be excuses. You know what it's going to be? Oh, we got to look through it. Watch. Watch the song and dance.

[Part 7 of 9] [00:00] And somehow, even though the Democrats are in full control of Congress, somehow they will say that they can't do it because of Trump. [00:11] And watch. [00:17] Somehow they will figure out a way to say, we can't release the files, yet we have to wait. [00:26] And somehow they'll pin it onto Trump. [00:34] Watch. [00:36] Absolutely watch. [00:40] Because it's politics. And they're going to protect their friends. They're going to make sure that their friends don't get bodied. [00:49] Okay? That their friends don't get outed. [00:53] You'll see. [01:07] I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it. [01:12] Democrats now control the y'all control the Senate, the House. I don't want to hear it. There are no excuses. You talked about affordability? [01:23] Go get affordability. [01:25] The people that voted for you, they might want, some of these people might want these impeachments because they're just delusional. They they hate Trump so bad that they'd rather be broke. [01:39] This is how bad it is. People would rather be broke, rather the economy go to shit. [01:47] As long as they see Trump impeached again. That's how crazy it is. But the people that did go out and vote based on how they feel right now, based on their current situation, [02:00] They voted for affordability first. They didn't vote for impeachment. They voted for affordability. [02:11] They voted for you to get in there and make their lives better. Bring down prices. So you do that. [02:19] You figure out a way to work with Trump, his administration. You guys figure it out because you work for the American people. You don't just work for one set of people. You work for the American people, regardless if we voted for you or not. You get in there and you do your job because we're watching. [02:40] All this Democrat, Republican, Democrat, Republican. It doesn't matter if I voted for you or not. You work for me, and you better get the job done. You said affordability, you said the prices go down. I want to see prices go down. [02:55] Don't talk about it. [02:58] Don't just campaign about it. You won, now bring him down. I I don't give a fuck about your impeachments. I don't I don't want you wasting our tax dollars on bullshit crusades that will get nobody out of office. I want you to bring down the cost of living for everybody. Go do it. [03:18] And I don't want to hear about taxing everybody. [03:28] You get in there, Democrat or Republican, and you do your fucking job already. [03:41] It's like, oh, it's a Democrat, so they only do. No, no, no. You take Democrat or Republican, you take care of Americans. [03:49] Regardless of your party affiliation, you take care of us Americans. [03:57] I didn't have to vote for you to go ahead and take care of us. [04:01] What is this? [04:04] There used to be a time where Democrats and Republicans, decades ago, took care of the American people and put America's interest first. [04:21] And and why do Democrats keep running away from blue states going to red states? [04:28] Anybody want to answer that question? Why do you keep running away from blue states going to red states? I'll tell you why. Because it's cheaper, it's safer to live there. It's safer to live in a red state. It's cheaper to live in a red state than it is in a blue state. [04:48] And then when you get into a red state, you vote blue, which is mind-boggling. [04:54] It's insanity. [04:58] I ran away from a blue state that's run by Democrats. I ran away and went to a red state, and now I'm going to vote for a Democrat in a red. It's insanity. [05:14] Stay in your state. If you love if you love your party, if you love paying massive taxes, okay? Then stay in your state. [05:28] Texas turned blue because you had people who left California, businesses who left California go to Texas. So you brought liberals with you, who vote blue. And what did they do? They voted blue. [05:46] And besides, besides those who, you know, migrated to red states, okay? Besides those who migrated to red states, obviously, during these midterms, Americans told you how they feel. Right now, they can't afford things. So it is up to the Democrats now who get in on January 3rd to get shit done. [06:13] And and I'm pretty sure the American people don't get most people that are living paycheck to paycheck, they're not they could care less about your impeachment processes. [06:25] They want lower prices. They want more private sector jobs. They want a job. Some of these people want jobs. [06:37] And we don't you got Democrats talking about we should open up the borders. How about you leave? How about any Democrat, House or Senate, House of Representative, a representative in the House or Senator. How about this? Any Senator or House representative who wants to open the borders, how about they leave to allow the person to come in? [07:15] Because I'm going to tell you right now, if the Democrats told you all these lovely things that you wanted to hear, especially affordability. Van Jones was on CNN telling you that the Democrats had a coalition that was pushing social media messages out there every single day, talking about these very issues and blocking out the good things that are happening in America, the strong economy that America has right now. They were blocking out all that, and they were talking about affordability. They were talking about things that would pull at your at your strings, that would press your buttons, and you went out there and you voted accordingly. Okay, you voted for that. Now hold them to the fire. [08:01] That's it. You got to hold them to the fire. And that goes for Democrat, Republican, independent, and that goes for anybody else. I'm talking about outside, you, as an individual, as an American, you got to make sure that they hold themselves accountable for all the campaigning that they got goddamn did. [08:28] That's it. [08:33] And this country needs to remain a Christian nation. And I am Jewish, and I am telling you right now, this country was founded on Christian values. And there is nothing wrong about saying that. That does not mean that other cultures can be here and that you can't [09:04] See, a lot of people, this is where I lose people. When I say that America is a Christian country, built on Christian values, that does not mean that your religion can't be here. [09:19] This doesn't mean that you you can't pray to whatever God you pray to. [09:26] It's just the fabric of this nation has been built on Christian values. [09:45] And let it stay that way. [09:48] Let it stay that way. [09:51] Because right now we are in a time where we might lose that. And that's why I keep pointing to France. [10:01] I point to the UK. Look what's happening there. And if you think it can happen in America, they are talking out loud about it. [10:20] They are literally talking out loud about it. [10:52] You know, I I guess only people that tuned in today. [10:58] The people that tuned in today. By the way, shout out to TikTok. TikTok is up to almost 600 concurrent viewers right now. [11:09] Only people that are willing to open up their eyes and ears and just listen to somebody, and you might not agree with me, but if you're just willing to listen to what I'm saying, and you allow it to at least marinate for 24 to 48 hours, I guarantee you will start seeing exactly what I'm preaching here. [11:43] At some point, at some point, you have to throw away your party affiliation and open up your eyes and realize that you are an American. And we might differ when it comes to policies and outtakes, and that is fine. We can debate them. [12:05] We can debate them like grown-ass adults and then figure out a compromise. Because that's what we used to do. That's what Americans used to do. We used to sit, debate issues, and come to a resolution. [12:22] We don't do that anymore. [12:26] And that's why the country is so divided. [12:30] There is no middle. Just like there is no middle class, there is no middle. [12:36] It's either you're left or you're right. And that's it. And if you don't agree with me, then I hate you and you're a bad person. [12:49] That's where we are right now in this current society. [13:04] Just because I don't agree with some of the takes that my Democratic friends have, does not make them bad people. Just like it doesn't make me a bad person either for having a different take than you have. We just don't agree on something. I'm sure there's a middle ground. [13:24] I'm sure we agree more than we disagree on topics. [13:29] We can try this exercise. Are you ready? Do you love the United States of America? I do. [13:39] And I'm sure you do too. [13:46] See, we agree on something. Normal people, whether Democrat or Republican, will say yes, will answer yes to that question. That we all love the United States of America. Can we agree this is the greatest country to ever exist? Yes. [14:16] You got these people. I'm not even mentioning this guy's name. [14:24] Talking about he'll wipe his ass with the Constitution. Our founding fathers, [14:32] Our founding fathers fought their asses off with pitchforks to give us our freedom. And here you have a a absolute asshole saying that he would wipe his ass with the Constitution and get rid of the Constitution. This is what I'm talking about. [15:11] I'm not saying that America's perfect. Nothing's perfect in life in general. But, man, [15:22] You would you would not trade America for another country. All the celebrities that say, I'm going to leave America. They don't leave. And if they leave, they come back. [15:39] Guess who came back? Rosie O'Donnell. [15:46] You know why? Because this is the greatest country in the world. Regardless of our opinions and outtakes, we have something called freedom of speech, and everybody's allowed to speak on topics with without fear of repercussion. Unless, obviously, of course, it's hate. [16:08] And even that. [16:27] You got people talking about, you got people talking about wiping their ass with the Constitution. That gets me so [16:42] It it really gets me fired up, man. I got to tell you, like, you have people that are in this country saying that they would wipe their ass with the Constitution, that do not give a shit about our country. [16:56] Like, I'm supposed to be ashamed of having this flag in the back. Then I'm supposed to be ashamed for repping the red, white, and blue. I will never be ashamed. [17:19] I love this country. I love this country. I I am I love the fact that everybody has a chance to make it here if they don't use excuses. They don't blame everybody else for not making it. [17:35] That's the easy way out. That's blame everybody else for you not achieving success in America. [17:44] Yeah, we have immigrants who legally come into this country, work their asses off, and then become CEOs of some of the most dominant companies that we have here in the United States of America. Go look at the top CEOs currently running companies here, Fortune 500 companies, they're all immigrants. [18:09] It's Americans that are privileged and lazy. [18:18] That's just the truth. [18:23] That's the truth. [18:31] We are privileged to be in this country. We are privileged to be Americans. [18:38] You could not talk this way in Russia. I'm going to tell you right now. [18:47] You would not be able to say shit or the shit that you say in Russia the way you say it now. They would throw your ass into a prison indefinitely. [19:07] Go ahead. Play that game in North Korea. Play the game in China. Go ahead. Talk the way you talk in any of the countries that I just named, and I guarantee you, you won't be heard from again.

Because you are way too stuck thinking that this is a sporting event with your party affiliation. [20:25] And you're losing sight of what's happening here in real time in America. And that's bottom line. [20:33] You're absolutely losing sight of what's happening here in the United States of America. And it's really unfortunate. [20:45] It is absolutely unfortunate. [20:58] It really is. [21:04] And it's really it's really we're eating each other apart. That's the biggest problem. They are purposely dividing us and making us eat each other apart. Fight with each other, not be able to have conversations, introducing crazy-ass policies for us to fight over. [21:29] This is what they're doing. Meanwhile, they're they're preparing or continuing to build out the new coming infrastructure for the United States of America. [21:48] That's what's happening. [21:51] So you can scream and shout and yell. But a decade from now, if this continues, you'll wake up and say, holy shit, what was I fighting for? It definitely wasn't for America. [22:10] I definitely wasn't fighting for America. 100%. Holy shit. They really did psyop us. And both Democrats and Republicans will wake up to it. Both parties will wake up to it and say, holy fuck, what was I fighting over? [22:41] Disappointing. Really disappointing. [22:48] Congratulations to the people that see it. Congratulations to the people that see what's happening to this country, that have their eyes open and that are talking about it. Congratulations. [23:05] We need more people defending the United States of America. [23:27] Because if America goes down, it's over. I want you to listen to what I'm saying. If America goes down, it's over. [23:40] And this psyop has been introduced by Iran and and 100% I believe China. [23:50] China and Iran. They they went to war with America from a psychological standpoint. [24:01] See, everybody sits here and says, we're going to go to war with with China's military. [24:10] China has absolutely no intentions of going to war with the United States of America from a military standpoint. [24:21] Zero intentions. [24:28] People scream, oh my God, we got to watch Russia. Russia can't even beat Ukraine. Russia has no army. Russia is tearing people out of homes and throwing them onto the battlefields. They have no army. Their tanks are from the 70s. They hardly work and they're hardly operational. [24:50] That's why I laugh when people, oh, Russia, you guys don't even know. They have no money. They have no Russia has no money for upkeep. [25:04] You guys listen to mainstream media. You listen to mainstream media and you see these you see these pictures and videos where Russia might be thriving. Well, there are little parts of Russia that thrive. 95% of it doesn't. [25:23] Oh, Russia. What Russia Russia is in in at war with China. [25:32] China's moving into Russia and Russia doesn't like that. They're they're at war. [25:39] If Russia was so dominant, then Russia would have beat Ukraine in three days. They can't beat Ukraine in three days. They got no army. [25:50] I love, you know, what you know what I love? I love the fact when people who have never left their state, have never been to a different country in their lives, talk about places like Russia.

[Part 8 of 9] [David] [00:00] and how they operate and how people live there. Because you watched Discovery Channel a 30-minute episode. [David] [00:10] of the life and times of Russia. [David] [00:23] It's crazy. It's wild. [David] [00:27] Wild. Everybody love, everybody. You know, it's I also laugh when you guys call Trump a dictator. Like, wouldn't a dictator, if Trump was a dictator, [David] [00:41] if Trump really was a dictator, [David] [00:44] would he have allowed fair elections? [David] [00:49] Would he have allowed the Democrats to win the midterms? No. [David] [00:58] There's a reason why [David] [01:04] Unjong Kng from North Korea is still presiding over North Korea. There's a reason why Putin's still in office. [David] [01:15] Still the president of Russia. [David] [01:22] That's why I laugh when people, oh, Trump is a dictator. Would a dictator allow you to go and protest in the streets? [David] [01:34] No. [David] [01:38] Ask the Russians how that worked out for them when they protested in the streets. A 93-year-old grandmother was arrested for protesting in the streets. [David] [01:57] And you talk about dictator. [David] [02:01] And then you had the stupid no kings marches. This is all a psyop. You you don't get this is all a fucking psyop. [David] [02:12] No kings. [David] [02:15] The last person that was offered the crown in the United States of America was George Washington who declined it. Trump never never came into office talking about he wants to be the king. He joked about it since you guys wanted to go ahead and put it out there, but no kings. Protesting absolutely nothing. [David] [02:44] Where are you guys getting this money to actively protest? [David] [02:51] Protesting all over, no kings. What the fuck are you talking about? At the end of the day, Congress runs everything. And I'll make it even more of a point. If Trump, you you claim Trump, he's a dictator, he's a king, he couldn't pass a bill. [David] [03:10] Because his own Republican party would not pass the bills that he set forth, the save act. [David] [03:19] Voter ID, all these things were not passed. Why? [David] [03:24] You got to ask Senator Thune, the the current majority leader of the Senate, why weren't these things passed? [David] [03:37] When you take off these blinders that you guys have on, [David] [03:43] I'm telling you, you treat politics like it's a sporting event. [David] [03:49] One thing I couldn't believe is Democrats weren't happy. [David] [03:55] Like the Democrats won, but they weren't they still weren't happy with the midterm results. [David] [04:02] It's crazy, man. I I don't know, man. [David] [04:08] What I'm saying here is factual. Like, I'm sorry, everything that I'm saying here is 100% the truth. [David] [04:18] You can either say, you know what, hey, DG spit in facts here, or you can go based on your party affiliation and say, oh, that's not true. [David] [04:29] Trump's such a dictator, or he's such a king. [David] [05:09] Wild. [David] [05:12] Wild. I mean, it [David] [05:16] And look, you can tell this is a subject because TikTok is up to 760 concurrent viewers right now. [David] [05:28] And I know that there has to be people on here that obviously understand. [David] [05:35] Or are willing, regardless of party affiliation, understand what's happening. That can listen to these conversations and be honest about them. [David] [05:54] Like, I don't I don't come on here ever to do rage bait. Like, I I don't the whole rage baiting I don't I'm I just speak my truth. [David] [06:05] I look at things I don't listen to mainstream media. Like, I don't I don't listen to mainstream media on what they have to say. [David] [06:12] Mainstream media has a narrative. [David] [06:17] All the people in the United States of America want, whether Democrat or Republican, is a fair shot. That's what I would think. Democrat or Republican, you want a fair shot. [David] [06:31] That's really it. [David] [06:40] But you're an American. At the end, I'm going to say this again. We are Americans and it should be country over party at the end of the day. When all is said and done, it should be party, excuse me, let me say that again. At the end of the day, it should be country over party. [David] [07:03] That's it. And that's bottom line. Country over party. [David] [07:09] And when that happens, you will see us go from the Divided States of America to the United States of America. [David] [07:22] Until then, when you continue to play this whole out like it's your favorite sports team, nobody wins. [David] [07:31] You know who wins? The elites. The elites will continue to win. [David] [07:36] Us Americans will continue to fight. And fight over issues that are meaningless in the grand scheme of things. [David] [07:52] That's it. [David] [07:54] We should be embracing our entrepreneurs. We should be incentivizing people that do well in this country and that create jobs. [David] [08:04] The education system needs work. The Department of Education has done nothing, has done absolutely nothing to help Americans. It has taught you the basics to get a basic job and to have that job for 30 years and then retire with nothing. [David] [08:23] That is all that it has done. The Department of Education has not taught you financial literacy because they don't want you to know too much. They you just need to know enough, not a lot, just enough, okay? And you need to understand, hey, you're you you can get into corporate and then there are different levels that you can achieve. [David] [08:47] And then you retire. [David] [08:51] School's a scam, right? People get school these kids go into college with they they come out of it with 400 400 grand in student loans. [David] [09:01] With what? 3, 4, 5% interest rates on that? They get credit cards, they get into college, they're given credit cards immediately with 5, $10,000 limits. They go ahead and get into debt there quickly. [David] [09:17] The system is set up to go ahead and feed the wealthy. And I'm talking you don't even know what the wealth you don't even know the wealthy people that I'm talking about. You think I'm talking about Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos or Warren Buffett? I'm not talking about. These are not the wealthy people. And when I say this, this might this might blow your mind. These aren't the wealthy people that I'm talking about. I'm talking about the elites, the 0.01% that you'll never hear about, that control not only the wealth, but everything in this country. Those are the people. [David] [09:53] Those are the wealthy people that put in the narratives and create [David] [10:01] all the drama that we see, that the puppeteers that we have here. [David] [10:07] You think it's Elon, you think it's Jeff Bezos, you you you're looking at the wrong people. [David] [10:14] You're you're focus has they have done such a good job in media to focus your attention on the wrong people and not on the people that are directing the show. [David] [10:28] That's the problem. When you wake up and you start to understand this, your life will be better. [David] [10:37] Your life will be absolutely better once you start to recognize what is happening. That's it. And that's the truth. [David] [10:45] Like I said, [David] [10:47] y'all got to put country before party for anything to get better. And that's bottom line. [David] [10:53] If you're going to do party over country, you'll have this result. And the result is a divided States of America with consistent fighting. [David] [11:06] And you don't even know what you're fighting about. You you know what you're fighting? You're fighting about what they want you to fight about. That that's really it. Here, guys, here you go, fight about this. And here goes the fighting between two squads. [David] [11:19] And there's no winner. [David] [11:25] See, here's a comment. We are unified on the left, buddy. [David] [11:30] Not understanding, this is where it goes over the head. This is where it's like it continues to go over the head. [David] [11:38] I refuse to I refuse to use these ears to listen to somebody talking. Like that that that's that's what I'm talking about. [David] [11:48] This is I won, he won, she won, she won. Like it has nothing to do with America wins. It has everything to do with my party won. [David] [12:02] Wild. [David] [12:08] If you think some of these Republicans don't work with Democrats, you are absolutely insane. And I'm talking about, if you think some of these politicians don't work with each other behind the scenes, they give you the impression that they hate each other when you go ahead and tune into your favorite mainstream media network. But behind the scenes, they're drinking whiskey. [David] [12:35] They are drinking whiskey and they're talking about, hey, remember 20 years ago? Meanwhile, you guys are fighting for the party. [David] [12:47] You guys are fighting for your party that, you know what? [David] [12:53] Democrats and Republicans, again, sitting in the back, drinking and chilling. Like, hey, [David] [13:07] So tomorrow, we're going to go out and pretend we're going to hate each other, right? What what do you want to hate each other on? What what issue do you want to go ahead and put out there? [David] [13:16] What issue should we put out there so we can have people hate each other? [David] [13:22] What what what should we put out there so Democrats and Republicans fight each other? Also, you know, nobody wants to talk about big pharmaceutical, [David] [13:33] big pharmaceutical companies and the banking system. Those are the people that really control the United States of America and all the decisions that are made. [David] [13:46] You're going to tell people are going to talk about APAC to me and I laugh. [David] [13:50] APAC [David] [13:53] APAC doesn't come close to the money that is used by big pharmaceutical companies and the banking system. [David] [14:07] But the narrative will have you blaming Israel for breaking your own leg right now. Right now, the machine will make you blame Israel and the Jews for everything that's wrong with your life. [David] [14:26] Look over there. It's it's them. It's them. And meanwhile, [David] [14:31] for people that have their eyes open, you understand. [David] [14:36] For the people with their eyes open, you get it. [David] [14:44] Before I go, here's my last thing for I'm going to give you an example of where we're heading because you already had a sample of it. During COVID, [David] [14:56] you weren't allowed to go outside. [David] [15:00] You weren't allowed to leave your house essentially. [David] [15:03] You weren't allowed to operate businesses. [David] [15:07] Six feet distance. [David] [15:10] You have to wear masks. [David] [15:12] You weren't allowed to go into an institution without a vaccine card. [David] [15:18] In order to get a vaccine card, you needed to take a shot. And that shot, you needed to sign a release form that would not hold the pharmaceutical companies accountable for anything that goes wrong with you when you take on that shot. [David] [15:39] Our first responders were fired because they would not take the shot. We had people from the best schools in the world, graduated from Ivy League schools in the medical field, [David] [15:56] that spoke against the vaccines, that were silenced and suspended off their platforms. [David] [16:05] Fired from the institutions or from the jobs that they had. [David] [16:12] You already had a taste of socialism/communism. You had a taste, a sample of it. [David] [16:28] That was your sample. And if you disagree with me on this, I can't save you. I don't think anybody can, because you are so stuck to your party. [David] [16:41] You are so stuck to your party. And you believe in your party affiliation so much that you are unable to see life for what it is. [David] [16:59] I just [David] [17:02] essentially narrowed down everything for you. It was a test. [David] [17:08] It was a test that was given to us. [David] [17:14] And most of the population agreed with the government's take. [David] [17:22] And they got the vaccine and the boosters. They wanted the cards. All that stuff. [David] [17:29] You had Kamala Harris and Tim Walls tell you that they need to look at the First Amendment and and make sure that they have some control over the social media platforms and that they they define what hate speech is. [David] [17:51] No normal person, [David] [17:54] no person with their eyes open, who has two ears, one mouth and is willing to listen, would have an argument with me. [David] [18:02] I'm not right on everything. I'm not a know-it-all. I'm not perfect. I'm not right on everything. [David] [18:08] But when it comes to these issues, I I know my facts. And I'm I'm more than happy to debate anybody. [David] [18:19] But again, [David] [18:22] for those that are willing to listen and hear me out, I'm sure the message resonated or maybe you noticed things down and you're willing to go ahead and and digest it for for a few hours. And say, you know what, that that guy who I just seen for the first time, [David] [18:41] he said a few things, it it hit. It it kind of hit. [David] [18:51] Or you'll say, you know what, fuck him. Fuck that guy. What is it? Who does he think he is? Who does this guy think he is? [David] [19:00] To go ahead and lecture me and my party. [David] [19:08] Who does he think he is? [David] [19:11] Talking about Fauci's diary. [David] [19:15] And all the notes that were written in Fauci's diary, essentially just giving more credit to everything that I just stated to you today. Who does he damn think he is? [David] [19:26] There's two there's only two ways that people will go about this. Either you'll you're willing to listen and hear out somebody from with a different perspective, or you can just stay and be a good team player for your party affiliation. For your party. [David] [19:54] Big pharmaceutical and the banking industry has always controlled [David] [20:00] this nation. Just remember that. Big pharmaceutical and the big pharmaceutical companies and obviously the banking systems have controlled this nation for a really long time. You're looking at the wrong people. [David] [20:18] COVID was the test. [David] [20:28] Welcome to the breakdown. [David] [20:29] Yeah! [David] [20:31] Episode 824. [David] [20:39] Sponsored by Midnight.

[David] [21:18] I really pray for this country. I really I I sincerely pray, really pray for this country. [David] [21:27] That more people will open up their eyes and really throw party affiliation to the side and just have a conversation with their fellow American, regardless of party affiliation. Just have a convo, man. Stop with the hate. [David] [21:48] Hate isn't good at all. It's not good for your system. And if you want things to get done, if you want a better world, you want a better country, if you feel like things can be better, then you need to rally around each other. [David] [22:03] It got to be united. It can't be divided. It doesn't matter Democrat, Republican. The only way we're going to get things done is if you're a united front, not divided. I don't know how many times I'm going to have to tell you this. [David] [22:16] And the two-party system does obviously doesn't work. The two-party system, you're looking at it in real time, it does not work. [David] [22:28] You got to ask yourself, does it really serve the people? That's really it. It does the current state serve the people of the United States of America? And only you, not me, I only I have my opinion, but only you can answer that. Because no matter what I say, you might disagree with me because again, you got you got your party affiliation tattooed on your skin. [David] [22:52] So I can't win you over regardless. No matter how many facts I drop on you. Jesus himself can come onto this program right now and tell you that David is right and you will still say that Jesus is wrong. [David] [23:28] There are 800 people watching live right now, besides on besides X, formerly known as Twitter, LinkedIn, whatever other places that I'm on. [David] [23:39] There are 805 people watching on TikTok right now. [David] [23:45] Most appreciate the conversation. Some are unwilling to open up their ears [David] [23:54] and minds to a different perspective. And that's fine. [David] [24:00] God can win you over. How can I? [David] [24:10] If God can win you over, how can I win you over? [David] [24:21] I will say this to end the show. I love this country. [David] [24:26] I love the United States of America. I am privileged to be an American. [David] [24:35] And I would love to see the day where we can get back to having discussions where there's no hate or hatred in the veins, but adults in the room having conversations and sometimes difficult ones, but we meet somewhere in the middle on all these subjects. [David] [24:59] That's really it. That that's [David] [25:03] And if you disagree with that, I mean, I I don't even know I think you need therapy. [David] [25:07] If you disagree with everything what I've just laid out, having a normal conversation, forget about party affiliation. [David] [25:15] Let's talk about let let's talk as as American citizens, as Americans, proud Americans. [David] [25:25] If if you have some if if if if you still can't bring yourself to the table, I don't even know what to say to you. [David] [25:38] You know who I feel bad for? The younger generation that right now is being mind fucked, psyop into hate. [David] [25:50] That's who I feel bad for. I feel bad for the younger younger generation that that goes into college or these universities and that are brainwashed into into hating, [David] [26:09] into division. Like that I I feel bad that

[Part 9 of 9] [David] [00:00] grow up. Like I I had a wonderful childhood. I I scraped my elbows and knees. I grew up in New York City, uh the most diversified place that you can find. We had fun, we had a childhood. We we embraced different cultures. We're friends till this day. It's it's a beautiful thing. [David] [00:20] There was no hate, no division there, like no racism. Not that we knew of. We saw color but like we saw color but that was it. [David] [00:36] We really didn't care about growing up in New York City, we didn't really care like if you were Puerto Rican, Asian, like I mean like Muslim, Jewish, nobody cared. Christian, Catholic, okay, great. [David] [00:51] Yo, we're playing basketball after church? Like you once you're out of church and I'm out of synagogue, we're playing basketball? Like that's all we cared about. [David] [01:02] Now it's like, hey, like let let's divide everybody. Make sure to divide them at a young age. [David] [01:17] Anyway, thank you very much again for tuning in to the breakdown. I will leave you with a quote. [David] [01:24] I will leave you with a quote, quote of the day.

[David] [02:27] Shout out to everybody who tuned into the program. Shout out to everybody who continues to tune into the program. [David] [02:37] I believe in America and and I really do believe that I I believe we can win together. There there we will, we have to, we have no other choice. We have absolutely no other choice. [David] [02:51] Be nice to one another. It costs you nothing and pray for each other. [David] [02:56] On that note, God bless America, land that I love, stand beside her and guide her. Let's go. I should have sang the national anthem. Love America. Anyway, on that note, I'm out.
