Kind: captions Language: en verbal shots fired by China as they make it clear they're ready for any kind of war the US wants verbal shots fired by Trump as he sends his strongest warning yet to Hamas The Joint session of Congress felt more WWE than democracy the Dems prove they're literally on the same page even if they're just reading an EMP weapons manufacturer secures a huge round of funding as robots prove they know Kung Fu wish I was kidding but I'm not the stock market takes a dive and Ray Delio warns the next five years will be a himor as if on Q Elon launches a mission to mine asteroids and China drops a massive breakthrough in Quantum Computing that delivers speeds a quadrillion times faster than the world's fastest supercomputer hi Drew welcome to the Future yeah we're in and out mining asteroids oh my goodness but before we get to that we've got to talk about what is going on between China shooting some verbal uh words over at us with Extreme Velocity and aggression and then Trump's message back to Hamas uh I am once again reminded of this feeling of driving on black ice where everything seems fine until you lose traction and you suddenly realize just how fast you're going so this is coming from the embassy of China this is their spokesperson Twitter the fentanyl issue is a flimsy excuse to raise us tariffs on Chinese Imports our counter measures to defend our rights and the interests are fully legitimate and necessary the US not anyone else is responsible for the fentanyl crisis inside the US in the spirit of humanity and Goodwill towards the American people we have taken robust steps to assist the US in dealing with the issue instead of recognizing our efforts the US has sought to smear and shift blame to China and is seeking to pressure and blackmail China with ter heikes they've been punishing us for helping them this is not going to solve the US's problem and will undermine our counternarcotics dialogue and cooperation in imidation does not scare us this is when it gets interesting bullying does not work on us pressuring ceron or threats are not the right way of dealing with China anyone using maximum pressure on China is picking the wrong guy and miscalculating if the US truly wants to solve the fentol issue then the right thing to do is to consult with China by treating each other as equals if war is what the US wants be a tariff War a trade war or any other type of War we're ready to fight till the end sheesh yeah this is where uh being a student of history is really going to help everybody so China believes that they suffered a um a 100 Years of humiliation and they are never going back to that they are never going to let people push them around again and they have a very strong sense of national identity they have a very strong sense of historical Pride I mean China's thousands of years old and so they bring all of that history the the length and breadth of their National History as well as the recent sense of we're never going back to that we're never going to be weak again um but this is where people also need to understand this um the ancient Greek idea of thusi trap that when you have a declining superpower the US and I do think that um Nile Ferguson is right that you best understand Trump if you understand him as somebody who believes America is currently in a weakened State and they need to I mean literally it's in his message be great again um but that understanding he believes that we're in a weakened state so you've got the declining United States power going up against the rising power of China and the reason it's called FUSD trap is when this happens the two Waring States cannot stop themselves the rising power insists on getting the respect and again putting China in historical context they have this idea of when you meet somebody that is your Superior you need to show them difference like that's a big part of their culture kind of like with the Japanese where you bow extra low if the other person is higher in the hierarchy than you are um China has the same idea of you you have to show that difference through um oh man I'm blanking on the word it's another word for gift it's not the right word but it gets you close and so they're like hold on a second we've been giving you guys um this Goodwill towards Humanity like trying to help you guys with the fentanyl crisis uh but if you're going to be running around in the media saying that we're the bad guys here that we're not doing something that we're intentionally sending this over um he obviously doesn't say these words but you're triggering and and the whole uh 100 Years of humiliation was all about the Opium Wars and so tied to drugs again now in a very different way but nonetheless this all of this stuff is wrapped up in the response that you're going to get out of China and so this is where we have to be very very careful the only immutable law is the law in history is the law of unintended consequences and so as uh you've got Trump trying to make America strong again you've got Trump wielding tariffs uh in a way that he thinks is going to drive manufacturing back to the US not the only reason he's doing it but to simplify things enough to talk about it in this context and I think he's right I don't think that you can have you can't be racing towards theity trap where these two are going to collide you can't be uh in a position where um you're obviously in a cold war moving towards a potential um trade War moving towards a potential Conn war and let your rival even if you're not going to call them your enemy uh you can't let your rival control all of your supply chains and through globalism we got ourselves in a situation where uh so much of the world's manufacturing not just us but so much of the world's manufacturing was being done in China to the point where basically the entire Robotics and drone Industries have their supply chains going through China China could then just stop that and so now you're in a position where all of Modern Warfare is going through your greatest rival the person that you were most likely to end up in a kinetic war with and you can't be in that position so I'm empathetic to what Trump is trying to do not only empathetic he has to onshore some degree of manufacturing we have to be able to control some enough of our destiny that if we found ourselves in that situation we wouldn't be standing flat footed so some of this stuff has to be done now the way that he's doing it is going to be a question that people will study for ages and it's we're obviously in the middle of it so I have no idea how this is going to play out in the fullness of time but China clapping back as aggressively as they are uh is a signal that you don't want to ignore and when you've got so uh one of the most interesting takes on Taiwan that I've heard is to think of Nvidia as a drop shipper for Taiwan and that um tsmc I believe is the uh name of the company that the reason that Trump is working so hard to get them to build a manufacturing plant here in the US is that if China was to invade Taiwan to reintegrate it you can't be in a position where basically all of your modern goods are controlled in that one little island which again historical context there was a Civil War in China that uh ma zong won and the people that lost fled to Taiwan and became modern day Taiwanese so there is a ton of Bad Blood there this would be like a little bit weird because the obviously the morality of the American Civil War was so different but you have I mean man when I really think about the morality of the the uh communist power that won pretty bad it'd be a little bit like the South winning uh and then the north fled to like a small island and now they've become incredibly um prosperous certainly a lot faster than mainland China did but anyway you have that kind of blood between the two and so uh xiin ping needs to be taken seriously when he says we are going to reintegrate Taiwan so that's like the mil of all the stuff that's happening that is behind that tweet so when you read that tweet with the historical context with understanding the supply chains understanding where Modern Warfare is going it's like yo this is one of those where boys if we could get diplomacy going that would be a much better play because I would much rather see um Trump working behind the scenes with um the Taiwanese companies that we rely on so much to bring their manufacturing to the US but without being so aggressive publicly towards the Chinese in the form of tariffs um that would help a lot we'll keep monitoring the situation Trump hasn't responded yet there wasn't any tweets or anything but something that Trump did tweet was spicy words and it happened while we were prepping for the show we had to redo our our intro we had to kind of reto the show around to kind of cover this but I thought this was fascinating he tweeted this to Shalom Hamas means hello and goodbye you can choose release all of the hostages now not later and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered or it is over for you only sick and twisted people keep bodies and you are sick and twisted I am sending Israel everything it needs to finish the job not a single Hamas member will be safe if you don't do as I say I have just met with your former hostages whose lives you have destroyed this is your last warning for the leadership now is the time to leave Gaza while you still have a chance also to the people of Gaza a beautiful future awaits but not if you hold hostages if you do you are dead make a smart decision release the hostages now or there will be hell to pay later Donald J Trump president of the United States of America I think these are two this is a wildly different take toward Hamas than what we've seen toward Russia toward what we seen to China but how do you like this response to Hamas and the palestin Israel conflict okay so this is one where I fully accept that I may be completely out of step with what a lot of people in America want but I read this and I'm thinking um okay listen sunza has made it very clear that you are not a great military leader if you win a 100 out of a 100 Battles you're a great military leader if 100 out of 100 times you subdue the enemy without having to fight m and I think part of the reason that Trump got elected is people like the tough talk they are sick and tired of um having this soft non-lethal approach where America was just feeling more gentle more kind more all-inclusive and feeling like we're being pushed around internally because even if they couldn't articulate exactly how globalism made their life worse which of course you also have to factor in money printing but they might not necessarily be able to articulate that but they look at a city like um the steel towns in Pennsylvania they look at Detroit and they see our manufacturing base is being gutted they see that we don't have that promise anymore that your kids life is going to be better than your life so like hold on something is wrong I want somebody that comes in and can this is important for any leader can intoxicate the people with certainty and say I know exactly what needs to be done and I'm going to take care of this for you so I get why a lot of people are going to like that message my beef is that I want to be inspired by the words that somebody uses and reading this tweet did not feel cool to me this felt like somebody that is posturing again going back to when you start viewing him through the lens of somebody who is currently in a weakened position and is trying to reestablish their Authority it it gave me the same feeling that I had had watching him with zalinski in the white house where I thought everybody misplayed that situation zalinsky quote unquote fired the first shot and he could have kept that whole thing from unraveling but I didn't look at Trump's response and go oh that's somebody who's actually in control of the situation that felt like somebody like a really aggressive dog like barking versus uh I don't know if you've ever seen those um dogs that protect like sheep and stuff the but like the really big [ __ ] off dogs the one they just stand there and they they they're not barking and freaking out like they post up they're ready for whatever comes and when I think back to Churchill and the way that he communicated and the way that he was known himself personally for physical courage putting himself in literally as an officer requests being sent to the front line of World War I to walk like trench Duty around and people were like I didn't want to go with Churchill because he was so overly confident he would just stand up if he heard a bullet whz by him he wouldn't even duck and people were just like that was somebody who they I mean the old adage uh talk softly and carry a big stick and so I'm not saying I don't want Trump to lay down the law I love the idea of him saying like when he said you have until 12:00 noon and if you don't at 12:00 noon we're going to do XYZ I didn't love the all hell will break loose but fine like that one thing draw the line but then really do it the fact that he didn't bite the last time and now he's giving me a similar bark just like yeah I'm just like hold on hold on and also I understand what he's trying to accomplish but when you say to the people of Gaza a beautiful future awaits unless you Harbor the hostages and if you do your dead in all capital letters you you're you're giving up the moral High Ground you start feeling like and this is what comes to mind you start feeling like a Karen right who's treaking and being obnoxious instead of being the person that is in control of the situation let me see if I can Channel this yeah there is a really cool video that I wish I had thought of to pull up before this it it's good enough try to find this there is a former I believe he was a K1 fighter as a bouncer Who Um this guy comes up to him and is making all these crazy threats and the bounce answer is so calm because he knows I will dismantle this person and so he's like telling him hey you need to back off you need to calm down and the guy is losing his [ __ ] and you think man anybody in a a weakened position that's not it um is likely to um really like be it might be that ah no it's not damn it my apologies to everybody watching if we had found this ahead of time but it was so impressive that the guy clearly does not he's not afraid and when you get somebody who understands I'm in control of this situation I can completely dismantle you and then they give that talk it's like the speech and taken he's not yelling he's not screaming he just lets them know how it's going to be that's what I want to feel I want to feel that thing I feel when I read Churchill speeches where it's like it is an orator who is so good at communicating and so believes that they're not going to lose that he's able to get people behind him because you're like this guy represents me and he's making me feel like a badass he does not make me feel like um the the guy who's about to get in a fight who's secretly trying to back you down by uh posturing and yelling and all that so that's what I want to feel from Trump so this guy comes up to the club he's like let me in and oh rewind that because I think it sets the stage okay a loud mouth wants to get into the club the bouncer doesn't let him in the guy starts to make trouble what the guy doesn't know the bouncer is Michael Kerr a kickboxing world champion um okay so first of all the guy trying to get in the club is bigger than the fighter which is part of what makes this feel so interesting because the bigger guy is thinking you know I've got this I'm sure he's bullied people his entire life by being the bigger guy and he thinks it because he's bigger he's stronger but okay play it this is interesting I'm going to read it because it's in a foreign language what uh hey let me into the club hey what's up son of a [ __ ] and then the guy walks in uh and touch the puit and so the the bouncer pushes him back and the guy says uh don't touch me uh and he calls him a [ __ ] multiple times uh don't touch me son of a [ __ ] shut up do you want to kid me let us talk boldly like men do what like men do [ __ ] who do you mean me I will [ __ ] your mother all right pay attention Okay so the yellow is um the kickboxer pause it rewind it so the bully said I will [ __ ] your mother okay you're gonna have to pause each time because it goes by too fast all right so the kickboxer says uh pay attention one my mom is too old for you two you can't [ __ ] me because I am a hetero and then the other guy says I will [ __ ] you it it is imp possible I'm not gay keep playing and listen uh I know you from somewhere okay so he's all look at this the the guy is already calmed down because the energy is so different it's so weird he doesn't know how to compute this guy's not afraid of me keep going uh what you knowing me from where do you know me I know your face says the bouncer I think I know your brother which brother what for a brother you made trouble here already before says the bouncer I never made stress in my whole life uh okay this is bouncer again your brother's name Ramy is okay I don't I don't think the rest really matters but he basically he ends up not having to fight when you see that kind of energy it so throws the other person off that they don't know how to make sense of the situation mhm now I am well aware that Hamas uses terrorist tactics they are more than happy to die for their cause and so you're not going to be able to use the normal Playbook but the thing that I think Trump often loses sight of is you're speaking to Hamas but you're also speaking on the world stage and you can tell that he doesn't have the energy of the person who is supremely confident that they're going to be able to deal with this what would be this is complicated I'm not saying what I'm about to say is easy I'm just saying this is the kind of thing you want to aim at mhm imagine your Israel you know you've got in your back pocket all the cell phones all the pagers you've got a thing like that saved up in Your Arsenal that's when and I get it they couldn't because Biden was president at the time but I'm just the ideal scenario of how you want this to play out you've got that thing in your back pocket and you say guys we're drawing a line this day this time you're giving everybody back including the bodies or all hell is going to break loose not in all caps just nice and simple if they miss the deadline boom they all blow up you go in you swarm you do whatever whatever all hell breaks loose is going to be you just do it like you're not saddle um saber rattling you just do it and you do the most gangster like fullblown Allin attack all at once and you you just play that card like to the end then the next time that you go and say dear whoever it is that we have conflict with you've seen how we move I'm telling you right now you want to back off do whatever the thing is and then people know you're not bluffing your uh bite is far worse than your bark when you draw a line you stick to it it's just been this really awkward uh thing here with him drawing lines that apparently Israel wasn't on board with I I don't know but like it it is diminishing his stature on the world stage it it even makes me somebody who like wants to see him win because obviously I want America to win uh it makes me go H this doesn't feel good this doesn't make me feel like you're in control of the situation yeah and I really want to kind of loop back in like the general World stays about that because there is a fight right now to minimize is Islamic extremism and I don't think Hamas has as much support as we think they do um so let's check out what Prince Muhammad said at the future investment initiative this is the Crown Prince of Saud Arab to go back to what we were the moderate Islam that is open to the World open to all the religions 70% of the Saudi people are less than 30 years old and quite frankly we will not waste 30 years of our lives in dealing with extremist ideas we will destroy them today pause it th this was my original take on Israel Palestine before I started looking very closely at it I was like look I have no idea how this is going to play out but what I do know is that this is going to be an economic game you want to get people to the point where they believe the best way to make their children's lives better um is to build an economic future where they can have a good life in this life right because a big part of the the hard part about being up against an extreme islamist group is that well they believe martyring themselves for the cause is like the greatest way to have spent your life and when you're up against that you're never going to find peace and that's why the hardest thing about this whole thing for me is what happens when you like the outcome but you hate the way that you got there because if the outcome of the way that Trump and Israel are playing this literally leads to um all of the um Palestinians being moved off the land while they redevelop it uh turn it into the whatever he says the Riviera of the Middle East um but if it brings peace and it works what do you do with that because it's obviously wildly immoral to um force people off of their land uh but at the same time like we've watched however many decades of just back and forth violence back and forth violence and so something has got to give something has to change um but hearing the Crown Prince talk about this and in uh he there's a longer version it's not this one but another talk that he gave he really starts detailing out exactly how they're going to go about interpreting Sharia law how they're going to he said look we follow the Quran the the country is run on the law of the Quran but basically everybody's got their own interpretation and he starts walking through how you do this well I doubt he would like the uh portrayal that I'm about to give but this is exactly what it made me think of the Brilliance of British common law the thing that makes common law so brilliant is it says hey there are just certain things that have withstood the test of time and so you want to go with the things that have just been running for a while because now you know the second and third order consequences you know the um incentives that you might not have seen coming you've seen that all those exploits work its way through the system and these are the things that have lasted for a long time because they yield good results and that was the way that I took what he was saying is look there are translations or not translations there are interpretations of the Quran that have been used over and over and over because they yield good results and then there are things that are newer that are more um idiosyncratic to the person that is pushing that interpretation and so having these two things happening at the same time is really fascinating because this is the way that you settle this the specifics of it I I can't tell you that'll play out the way that it plays out but it has to be people seeing that in this life my kids's life can be better than mine that this is uh economic output Innovation that we can all get behind that will make things better and that by peaceful coexistence even if not cooperation fine compete but competing on an economic stage so that things can get better that's the only way forward and so to see the Crown Prince really try to modernize um not just Saudi Arabia but to modernize the Islamic religion on mass uh is incredible now it's going to be very fascinating to see how this plays out and to really complicate the issue one thing that I've been hearing talked about recently is that there are Muslims who look at what's going on with the level of um extremism coming out of places like um the UK coming out of um the Netherlands and they're saying we would never put up with this in uh an Islamic country so like what's going on that they're allowing this kind of extremism so man I'm I'm optimistic I don't want to be naive but I am certainly optimistic we'll get back to the show in just a minute but first let me tell you what separates the wealthy investors from everybody else they

yeah and it it comes at a trying time because with all these International conflicts going happening around the world the US has some internal conflicts that we need to get to um and I'm talking about the uh president's Trump's joint session of Congress yesterday where I have seen during state of the unions when the other side doesn't stand up where the other side you know rolls their eyes when the Trump when the president is is listing all their accomplishments but I think last night was probably one of the most divisive ones I've seen because somebody actually got kicked out and we have the clip to play right now popular vote by big numbers and one counties in our country youing about on a map that reads almost completely red for Republican [Music] now for the first time in modern history more Americans believe that our country is headed in the right direction than the wrong direction in fact it's an astonishing record 27 point swing the most ever likewise small business optimism so it's single largest one month gain ever recorded a 41 Point [Music] jum that's speaker Johnson to up and maintain in the house and to cease any further disruptions that's your warning members are engaging and willful in continuing breach of the Quorum and the chair is prepared to direct the sergeant-at-arms to restore order to the Joint session and then play alert he ends up walking Senator green out um it's this is I've never seen that happen before and I've been following politics for a long time I think it's getting to a point now where the pettiness is getting there but UK Parliament Japanese just pettiness yeah so you're about to make a really good point the UK Parliament Japanese Parliament you see this kind of uh thing a lot um and forgive me I don't know if the Japanese actually have a parliament but their form of government I have seen them literally come to fisticuffs uh and they both have amazing countries the UK is awesome for whatever flaws and faults it has uh same with Japan and so it doesn't just because people are yelling and you know being this upset with each other doesn't necessarily mean that we're about to drive off a cliff but I go back to that analogy of being on black ice and at any point it just feels like suddenly you're more likely to slip and have a spin out what bothers me is I really had hoped probably overly optimistically that given that Trump had won the popular vote that we would find ourselves um not necessarily coming closer together but not continuing to race apart at the incredible rate that we are and this certainly feels like an acceleration to your point the fact that he had to be escorted out um that is that to me is a sign of division that people should just constitutionally I mean internally constitutionally they should want to find a way back together that they should instead of focusing on divisive rhetoric with their own constituents like saying something along the lines of what we say in business which is I disagree but commit so it's like hey he is the president and obviously we have three branches of government for a reason so we're not just going to roll over and do whatever he wants but at the same time if we all have the desire to make the country better let's find those things that we can have in common and if we had a congress person or a senator that was even if they were just using it as a PR battle going and saying here's what I think the Democrats and Republicans not only can agree on but they ought to as an order of morality agree on things that are in the middle and that means you're going to have to make concessions we as Republicans have to make concessions we as Democrats have to make concessions and painting a picture of how to bring things together this is one of the things that I hold myself accountable to is rather than just banging a drum and being on a team and saying like oh my God these guys are idiots and you know talking about all the places that we should stand up and cheer and look there are going to be plenty of commentators that are pointing out whatever side they're on they're just going to point out all the ways that the other side is stupid and Their audience is going to love them for it because it lets you be on a team lets you be on a tribe and you get a cheer the thing that I hold myself accountable to is saying okay what do I want to see um and that's what I want to see I want to see somebody put forward what are the ideas like if you think that Trump is wrong what are the ideas that aren't your tribes version where you know that the other side's going to scream just as loud like what are the things you really think would work and to me it all begins with you have to State what your end goal is you have to State what your value system is and then you have to State the things that you believe that you think will actually lead to reaching those outcomes and then it's like great you've now put forward a hypothesis that hypothesis can be tested and yes it means that you can be found lacking and that your constituents go well uh you've been wrong so many times like you tried all those things none of them worked we want you out and people are so afraid of being able to be held accountable that they would rather be reelected than to actually take the country somewhere good and that I find mortifying and my hope is that in the age of social media that somebody could create a platform where they're able to be heard enough that they could continually be the voice of reason but that is certainly not what we saw in this session and the Democrats are certainly using social media for other methods um Elon retweeted now we're up to 22 Dem senators and end up being 23 all doing the same CR video simultaneously I will buy a cyber truck for anyone can provide proof of who wrote this particular piece of propaganda and then Destiny retweeted it good this is what Dems need consistent messaging this is what magga has been doing for 10 years and for those that didn't see it this is the video day one that ain't true that's what you just heard since day one of Donald Trump's presidency prices are not down they're up inflation is getting worse better the prices of gross gas eggs all you can pause it it goes on and on and listening to it it's actually hard to tell but they are saying verbatim the same thing uh so look okay so I I like Destiny I have no idea uh if that feeling is shared but I like Destiny a lot having values that are shared I like being able to talk authentically about those values I like having a goal as a party of where we want to end up and being able to articulate that message about where you want to see people end up I like but having everybody reading a script like that where they're trying to pass off as if they uh are thinking of it off the top of their head that feels so outdated like you I remember the first time somebody started getting clowned on for this and it was um Vin Diesel he was promoting the movie where I'd gain a bunch of weight I forget what movie it was and he told the same story the same way over and over and over and I get it because I do the same thing like you'll get a story that you're so used to telling you say it the same way over and over it's bad enough when it's one person just doing it on different platforms it's something else entirely when everybody in your party is saying the same thing because it makes them sound like NPCs it makes them sound like their own rails the thing that people are responding to with Trump is that he thinks for himself say what you will man but you are getting Trump like he cannot help but reveal himself he is always like I'm like dude he's telling you how the Machinery of his mind works he's telling you how the Machinery of politics Works he can't help himself so I think for the Democrats to be able to even the playing field you've got to get people in there that themselves really understand like this is what I believe this is where I'm trying to get us this is how I think we get us here that can speak extemporaneously that don't mind people coming after them I mean something Destiny himself is extraordinarily good at you can put him in the most hostile room ever because because he thinks for himself because he understands how all the pieces connect a you can't anticipate always what he's going to say and he will surprise certainly me routinely um this is somebody who has a high functioning World viiew whether I agree with everything or not it's a high functioning cohesive worldview and so you can come at him in any way that you want and he's going to be able to handle himself well and you're not seeing that out of the democratic party and so I want to see two sides that are approaching each other as equals that really um have players of equal like ability on both sides of the fence but on one side you've got clearly people that are not afraid to think for themselves and then on the other side you have people that are literally sticking to the script which is the very thing that people are pushing back on so I'm like oh my God you guys are going to end up in a death Loop if if I could try to steal man it for a second what's the difference between like a business having a sales team that all has the same exact script and saying okay go recruit go sell these products for us isn't that what the Democrats are doing with these identical videos that they're just trying to say hey this is the message to our con uh constituents this is what we want everybody to know everybody cover these three points here's a script so you know exactly what to say go in your office and record it okay when you have a salesperson and you say all right here's the script um all you have to do is read it they're magic words just say them to people when they ask you a question the second you get asked a question that you weren't expecting if you don't understand why the script is the script meaning the key points why you're better than the competition what the value proposition is that you offer um human psychology why it's in the order that it's in because it like it's building blocks that are trying to lead somebody somewhere when they give you an objection you're not going to be able to handle the objection you're not going to be able to say I get where you're coming from let me explain why this works because they don't necessarily understand what's driving it they don't understand okay I'm trying to end up here and uh because of my value system dictates why I want to end up there and then the things that I believe about the world mean that we have to navigate in order to get there when you don't have that you are literally parting talking points and the second that somebody asks you a question that isn't on the script you stop this is like fake martial arts versus MMA in fact that is the perfect way to explain this when you see somebody that knows how to do kung fu when the other person is is doing kung fu kung fu looks awesome when you see somebody that knows the forms of karate go up against a BJJ practitioner who can break your joints 76 different ways all of a sudden karate looks stupid because if they get you on the ground you're toast so you what you ultimately get is somebody who understands the entire art of fighting that no matter what this person throws at me I'm going to know how to deal with it I'm going to know how to defend if we're standing I'm going to know how to defend to take down I'm going to know how to defend against different locks I'm going to know how to put them in locks I'm going to know how to strike and now all of a sudden you don't need fake rules you don't need easy softball questions and this is people's certainly my beef with uh KLA Harris was like who are you I want to know what you really believe because you're going to be in a meeting with xiin ping and he's going to say something that's not on script and if you're looking over your shoulder talking to your handlers because you don't know how to answer it because you don't know how all this stuff adds up you don't have your own thoughts about it Jesus man on a world stage that's crazy town or uh something emergency happens and you've got to respond very quickly if you don't have a cohesive worldview where things tie together yikes how are you going to make a decision so this is why in business you always say data drives decisions you have a known outcome that you're trying to get to and everything's what I call the physics of progress you TR you do your best guess this is what I think is going to lead to that the data then gives you feedack back you adjust and you keep going but all of it hinges on you know where you're trying to get to and you are business savvy like you've been doing this long enough to know how to move but it comes from having a cause and effect view of the world when I hear somebody reading off a script they don't have a cause and effect view of the world they've been giving talking points and they know how to repeat them well at that point you're you're an actor you're not a a diplomat wow mik Dro all right in future tech let's switch it up I'm tired of politics brother all tell me about uh I thought this was cool and scary at the same time why are we Tre teaching robots how to fight it doesn't make sense they're going to be bigger than us they're going to be stronger than us at least let us have that advantage over them let's check this video out that's so crazy okay so uh we are going to teach robots everything first of all and if we don't teach them the robots are going to learn because they will watch uh I mean literally it's the MX they will just be like upload Kung Fu and keep in mind to a robot kung fu is simply a sequence of movements and weight balance and all of that stuff so they could literally get that data instantaneously so please understand that you're not going to be able to protect yourself against that kind of thing and unfortunately aov's um Isaac asimov's three laws of robotics I don't think there's a way to actually put that into reality it's very cool in sci-fi but but I think in reality that's not going to be possible so robots will be killing people well let's take that slowly uh robots will certainly have the ability to kill people that is for sure if nothing else they slip and fall they weigh more than you they crush your skull that you will see those deaths the one that I worry about because I will for sure have robots in my house and I also have tiny dogs and I worry about the robot slipping and falling on the dog so I would love some sort of thing where if the robot detects that the animal within whatever distance that it freezes in a like very balanced position it would need to be something like that because that kind of thing is going to happen for sure then on top of that forget the The Accidental like robots either become sentient or uh it slips and Falls robots are going to be involved in Warfare drones are the next wave of warfare a next they're being used right now to kill Russians and ukrainians so a th% you have got to contend with Killer Robots already today not in the future well luckily uh epirus epis I'm going go with epirus it sounds more uh like they're not trying to kill us they just announced a $250 series D fundraising round for hyperscale leonitis production capability for critical asset protection that is a fancy way to say we're about to get a EMP yep to keep Pace we must move from one toone engagement mindset to one versus many I love they sum up sum up war in that way because to your point of like drones and swarms I think war is going to fundamentally change just like everything else is going to change with AI Robotics and things like that dude imagine you're a ship in the middle of the ocean and you see a swarm of 10,000 drones flying towards you there's nowhere to go they can outmaneuver you they're faster and each of them carries am munition and you just drop all 10,000 bombs and sure each of them are small but it's enough to just swiss cheese A Thousand Cuts right yeah it's uh it it is really a shift in the way that Warfare is happening that was actually one of the more interesting things zinsky has been talking about is they've gotten really good at manufacturing drones so man we we really have to understand the reality of the things that we're up against not wish them to be different but instead plan for the inevitability yeah and I think that this is the perfect segue into Ray Delio's clip that's really going to talk about the next 5 years are going to feel like they change faster than anything else we've ever seen before that is a certainty I do believe we're going to go through a Time Warp okay what I mean it's going to feel like you're going through over the next five years and that environment is because of these five major forces that all of these things and the changes in the Technologies particularly artificial intelligence and related Technologies so the world five years from now here's the thing you have to understand about Ray Delo he's been engaging with AI longer than most people that can hear my voice right now have even thought about it because trading and investing has been relying on AI for a long time now so this is not some old guy who doesn't know about AI this is not some old guy who's terrible at predicting the future this is the man who's made more money than anyone as far as I know in human history based on the ability to see the future bet on it and be right he built the largest hedge fund in the world which is precisely what they do they look at the entire globe and say where are we going and they get there they get that understanding faster than anybody else that's the guy telling you yo AI is about to change things at a rate that your mind is not prepared for crazy is going to be a radically different world and I don't know what that's going to look like when you go into the world of quantum Computing and and what Quantum is like in so many different ways it raises questions of you know what is that like I'm not smart enough to tell you what that world is going to look like all right so the guy who has built this incredible company off of being very good at looking into the future is talking to you about the technological singularity he may not know those words but that's what he's talking about he now realizes I can't see into the future in the way that I used to be able to and this is we talked about this maybe a week ago that Elon tweeted out we are now standing on the Event Horizon of the singularity meaning the the people that are making the AI they all realize uhoh like this is moving so fast that the rate of change is going to create a kind of future blindness future blindness scares me literally at every level as a business owner where do I put capital I find myself like glitching between deploy Capital as fast as you can because things move so fast you've got to get to that thing first because it's going to be a win or take take all scenario and reserve your Capital because things get so much cheaper so fast that every dollar you spend today is like spending $10 tomorrow so you'd be in a much better position waiting because now you're going to get 10x the output of the dollars that you spend so it is uh man this is this is going to be weird it is going to be a period of dis disruption the likes of which we have never seen before we'll get back to the show in a moment but first I have an important message for entrepreneurs you

and now let's get back to the show and literally right on Q as soon as Ray Delio says that China just takes a massive Leap Forward in the quantum Computing arms race its latest model crushes Google's latest Quantum Benchmark by six orders of magnitude this is their quote from the University of science technology of China we have successfully executed a larger scale random circuit sampling than previously achieved by Google further widening the Gap in computational capability between classical and Quantum Computing okay this is where we um have to say the word quadrillion because this breakthrough is nuts so uh their breakthrough in Quantum Computing delivers speeds a quadrillion times faster than the world's fastest supercomputer dude this is now it is very important to note Quantum Computing is still in its infancy and this is a long way off but whoa like the fact that they're one evolving as rapidly as they are and two what they're showing is this isn't going to be a little faster than traditional computers this is this is an insane amount faster now one thing I want people as they begin to build their mental model of what Quantum Computing is quantum Computing is a different kind of computing so this isn't necessarily going to go head-to-head with whatever will be the supercomputer of that day it's for a very different thing but for stuff like drug Discovery or protein folding where you want to go on a fractal path to see what are all the different ways to run the maze that's what it's going to be exceedingly good at also cracking passwords but that that's an example of well this could be a gazillion different things well what if we could run a gazillion different questions basically at the same time to come up with the answer that's why people always go to oh this is going to break encryption yes it will again there'll be plenty of time for people to adjust and the good guys will have this faster than the bad guys um so it is a NeverEnding arms race to be sure um but it isn't the sort of all terrifying Boogeyman that I think people are going to hear when they start hearing about Quantum Computing more than anything like this is exciting to me that we're actually making tangible breakthroughs in physics in the level of like cubits like a thing that's like there that we can actually do something with it's crazy but speaking of races the Space Race just got a lot more interesting this is crazy I didn't even know this was about to happen Elon just launched Odin which is a SpaceX Falcon rocket and it's on it's a private spacecraft on a mission to scout an asteroid pack with platinum and other rare Metals so here's the plan it's 1 Million Miles Away Odin is chasing out asteroid 2022 ob5 over 300 days scanning for Treasure highres images will confirm if it's a cosmic gold mine next step Landing if it's rich in medals a second mission will drill straight in Astro Forge goal refine 1,000 kg of space metal in just 3 months and bring it back to Earth the days of digging up our planet might be numbered because the next mining rush in is in space wow I have to give a shout out to my boy Jeremy me and him not even friends no more but I have to give credit where credit is due he called this like four years ago because it was when Virgin uh launched their space program Jeff basos launched their space program and SpaceX was taken off he was like why are all these billionaires I was like why are these billionaires going to space he's like because there's a bunch of gold just floating up there like there's so many minerals up there that we just need to extract if we learn how to extract there's so much more there I he said trillions I don't know if he was being you know factious or not but there is orders of magnitude more wealth in space floating than there is inside of our Earth now of course if we would have du every Earth every drill it might be equal out but with what the resources that we have now with Trump trying to go to Ken and other places to grab minerals if we can find it in space this has to be like a win right Drew in in ways that are hard to Grapple with we are living in a Sci-Fi present it is absolutely fascinating but yes there is I mean depending on how close we need them to be and that will come down to how fast we can get our um ships to travel but for sure in the vastness of space it it just becomes a question of distance but there is way way way way way way more out in space than there is here in Earth because you have to wait for them to hit Earth uh in order for it to be here but yeah I mean this is absolutely incredible what I love is that Peter diamandis and um Elon Musk had a conversation about this years ago at this point but Peter had launched a um a space mining company and Elon was like it's not the right time and I always thought that was so fascinating that one of the things that Elon is unbelievably good at is going oh I know where this teleporting Puck is going to be so they say don't skate to where the puck is Skate to where it's going to be but things are moving so fast now to me it's always felt like the puck is now teleporting and Elon just has an ability to go I know where that's going to be and so it might not be for 12 years but he'll run the math and he'll be like this is when it's going to be and these are the things we're going to have to do in order to be prepared to get there I mean it's really really incredible this is why I say think from first principles run the math don't get overly excited don't be like oh my God we're going to mine asteroids and it's a huge opportunity he goes okay but knowing what I know about physics this is how long it's going to take us to get there and I mean apparent he was right so this is uh this is unbelievable because if we can bring things that are very hard to find here uh Down to Earth again that whole idea of we want to drive the cost of things to zero the goal isn't to like oh my god I've got a trillion dollars worth of this stuff the goal is to bring so much back that it's like tin it's like meaningless now you just make whatever you want remember the goal is to have a thing the goal isn't to make the money so that you can go get the the thing the goal is to have the thing and so we've been playing this game forever and look I'm captain capitalist like I've tried to play the life out of the capitalistic game I've had some big wins and it's amazing but at the end of the day I just want the stuff that it leads to I don't need to have more stuff than somebody else if I can have all the things that I want that make my life awesome I'm here for it man I am here for it and so this is one of those things AI robotics being able to find rare earth minerals uh off planet and make that stuff now super common oh my God like this is exactly how you get the world of abundance that people want it's crazy also shout out to mass effect effect because that was a point in a game you used to go to other planets have to mine them take resources and that's the first time I was like oh we're going to other resources other planets to get stuff that's interesting let's go Mass Effect and like and now this is like a future it's crazy so when you said science future it like triggered something with that I like it and shout out to no man's Sky who I think is the modern day version of exactly that nice if you've ever played I Haven playy the most hated game when it launched people lost their minds and those guys just kept their heads down kept developing kept making it better so shout out very impressive what they've done now that we talked about the future of space I want to talk about the future of algorithms this is Jack dorsy Twitter's and blocks co-founder he had a very interesting perspective of how our Scrolls might change I think it's less about free speech I think it's more about do we get to choose how the algorithms are programming us because the algorithms are definitively programming us and it's very very hard to tell what an algorithm is going to do and predict what going to do and that's where the danger comes in but if I can choose what algorithm filters my tweets and what I get to see and I have instead of like an app store and algorithm store where I get to put these on my my timeline then I have a lot more agency in the content and the experience and I think it ends up creating a much healthier relationship with a technology and I'm not just speaking about Twitter this is for YouTube and for financial Technologies we are being programmed these algorithms know our preferences better than us that's only going to increase how do we increase agency at the individual level it's by choice it's by being able to turn off the algorithm it's by being able to choose different algorithms it's being by being able to make my own algorithm that is so right on the money I really love that idea I think uh here's how people want to start thinking about this so you're going to have an AI your own personal AI you're going to be kicking off data from your aura ring from your eight sleep bed whatever and you're going to say to your AI hey find me an X algorithm that lowers my blood pressure find me an X algorithm that helps me bring my stress levels down and all a sudden instead of seeing uh all the political fighting you end up seeing like optimistic things hopeful things educational things whatever whatever the thing is that makes you feel the way that you want to feel and people will finally realize something that I've been beating the drum on forever you're having a biological experience if you focus on tuning up your own mind your stress levels the vision you have of your yourself the future all of that stuff it it is like taking a drug you can so dramatically change the way that you feel by what you focus on and what you think about the things that you focus on that it it is the difference between dying young because you've been so stressed out and living a longer healthier life and so you you are beginning to have more and more of your data in real time and if you had an AI That's able to then effectively manipulate the world around you to make it a better experience as measured by data points that you tell it to care about now all of a sudden it's like oh this customized version of social media is actually incredible and you can switch your algorithms on the Fly and so much like now you would do a search and say you know show me cute pets or whatever um I would say to my a Ai and natural language hey AI I'm laying here in bed with Lisa um we want to watch some cute videos pop them up we want to watch funny videos they'll pop them up we want to watch videos on relationships whatever but it's not just going to randomly show me videos or show me videos that are most it's going to show me videos that either correlate to a data response that I wanted to pick up on or like I could say um optimize the next 30 minutes for laughter and so it's reading either the sound in the room or whatever signals I'm kicking off at a data level of that and it's optimizing optimizing optimizing for what we've asked it to do in real time and that the depth of the relationship that people are going to have with their AI the ability to control feedback via Al algorithms is going to get extreme and I think it's going to be incredible now the only the only law of history is the law of unintended consequences the question becomes what happens when everybody's life is that individualized like it will be so atomized I don't know but my guess is it's better than what we're doing now I love social media I would never want to go backwards but I also don't have an addictive personality so I find it very easy to pick up and put down as I see fit some people obviously do not um but if you're algor could ask you like what are you trying to optimize for I want to love my life okay cool how do you is that um sleeping well like and it would give you the host of like data points that you want it to like check for or you could be like uh choose the best deal like you see when there's like eight options in a for a product and it's like this is the best one and they make it bigger you could do the algorithm like this one's chosen the most by people whatever um that stuff is going to be incredible it is going to be a tailored world and as long as you pick the right metrics it won't be tailored and leading you to a deranged State yeah I think there's a utility there because for me personally I have so many kind of scattered interests that even my AI chats like I'm a cloud person so I have like seven clouds and one's like car mechanics and it's a bunch of questions about that and another one's like religion stuff and it's a bunch of stuff of that and it's like the app I'm working on it's bun so everything is kind of segma like segmented and then when I go to YouTube I'll have I'll look up one video I'll do some research for the show I'll look with another video and now my algorithm is like half things I watched in college half things I watched yesterday half research cuz chat dropped the name in and I think I like this um scenario that Jack is kind of proposing because I could just kind of go and click and like okay work mode boom and then now it's algorithm for everybody that's associated with the show or like okay personal mode boom and now it's all the video personal growth videos and things that I watch personally and you can kind of customize what you want to see at that point and I think that would also add additional utility to the platforms themselves because this whole like just keep on the platform keep on the platform hold them to death everybody gets caught up we go through the spiral but at the end of that spiral everybody feels worse and I think that's the part that they're they're getting they're squeezing the juice and then they're just kind of all right well we got them and they're like dismissing us where I think that there's another way to kind of utilize the interaction with the algorithm that could be more beneficial for both the person and the platform long term no doubt yeah it's interesting all right um this was like super cool and as a Star Wars person I definitely want your opinion on this so YouTuber remakes a million-- dooll VFX scene from Star Wars alone in a week I'm going to guess this was a lot more than a million dollars and that just sounds good in the [Music] headline when they show the shot by shot comparison you see that this is exactly that it's crazy God this is so cool all right this is where you're going to want to actually look at your phone so you can see this this is the shot by shot comparison and you see it is flame perfect I don't know I might spell a couple million doll for that smoke I I have to say the the dust is pretty cool that's the one thing Star Wars has over the uh remake okay he's missing one shot um that that's incredible man look this is this is the exact kind of thing that makes me go I've got to race I've got to deploy capital and really do the storytelling stuff that we want to do because the tools are getting so good and they are so cheap that the only thing that matters is do you have taste and so this is where it gets interesting because now like all the creative people that are like up in arms because AI can just copy this that or the other doesn't matter if people don't know how to tell a good compelling story if they don't know how to compose shots all they're going to do is copy like that that's amazing and literally no shade because I think he was showing something else want to show that you can recreate it for next to nothing but it's shot for shot like he's just mimicking the people with taste are going to be able to actually create something new and now all of a sudden like if you've ever thought my boss is like keeping me down he's not letting me do the cool thing you can now do it on your own like the guy that is considered by many to be the biggest influence on the look of the original into the spider verse which man if you remember when that came out I watched that trailer so many times I'd never seen anything that cool I was so amped for that that guy got fired wow cuz I guess was a pain in the ass to work with but now from that guy's side I have to convince anybody of anything I can just do my thing all these tools now I can do it myself and so we are about to find out like there are going to be no Gatekeepers we are going to be able to see who's got something to say who knows how to say it well who's got taste and so this is that great equalizer man no more complaining don't waste time just go do your thing and I'm telling you if you plan to do this if you plan to use ai ai is not quite there yet but as evidenced by that like these tools are getting so good you want to be doing it now do not wait until it's push button perfect to get started because by then the players will have established themselves look there's always room for the best so even if you come into this late or you're a kid or whatever and it's not your time yet don't panic but man in this moment if you can be the person at the bleeding edge if you can be the one deploying the stuff before anybody else you can really make a name for yourself okay Tom give us the exclusive give us the exclusive you so it's not the weight what do you think he used like program wise if you had to like check it like what AI do you think he used to recreate well I'd be very curious to know if he's actually using AI on this that I don't know because it's too perfect in terms of the match and getting AI to match the only thing I could imagine is if he were doing a video overlay but I don't think he is I I would like to think he would consider that cheating so my gut instinct is that he's doing things like and I haven't researched this so I don't know but if I had to recreate this I would do the following so uh I'm going to get my background which that could be entirely fake uh so that you'd be able to generate pretty easily I'm going to film myself running on some setup I mean it could be a big Warehouse that it doesn't matter AI is very good at that and then saying okay uh over here on something like mid Journey I've developed that plate and then I'm going to pull that into something like Runway ml which has the ability to use the structure of your video meaning the person will be in the same place they'll still be running uh if you want um mountains or whatever they'll be in the right place that you want them in the shot and then you overlay that on top of the video so you run that process on it so now instead of you running in a warehouse It's you running in front of the mountain sequence but the camera work all of that stuff is all going to be the same uh and then the special effects is probably the one thing that was AI I guess he could do it in something like after effects as well it's hard to know if he's using After Effects Adobe uh Firefly like and then you've got AI stuff so it could be any one of those um but all of them now have generative fill they have like you can control the size and all that of the explosion so I wouldn't be able to look at that and tell you exactly which of the tools that he used but the thing that I think is the most exciting right now in AI that would help him whether he used it or not is that ability to replace keep the structure known as um but then change it to okay now it's Lego okay now it's in Iceland okay now it's in the desert and it will just change it out it's crazy and it looks photorealistic it's insane love it love it all right it's everybody's favorite update streets is trash uh this was an interesting post um I don't know if I agree or not though um but I I had a very different like up this isn't streets is trash though this is just that's my that's my fantasy name for our relationship segments I just want to let everybody know I'm still single out there ladies DMS is open no I'm joking all right they're not open no I'm I'm joking that the streets are trash my DMs are open for the right one you saw the hair you saw the hair flip all right maturing in marriage is realizing that when your husband says he'll do anything for you he means fighting bad guys and dragons and [ __ ] not folding clothes and washing dishes and stuff as a married man in the room with that's so true when I read that I was like this is exactly accurate I would literally die for my wife but I'm not going to mop the floor I'm not going to tidy up socks like that is just not a good use of my time but if somebody breaks in oh yes I got you covered I literally once had to clear my house I locked my wife in the sort of safe room part of the house and literally with a weapon cleared the entire house ni and I was like yeah yeah yeah this is what I'm here for the Disposable Male hypothesis boys and girls I don't know why but it actually makes me emotional was it always like that like back in the day you guys were just starting um back in day one phases like was it you were the messy she was that oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah for sure like to this day the thing that my wife and I fight over is I think it is patently absurd to hide things because you want on the surface for it to look nice but you don't know where things are and so now you're going to spend some ungodly amount of time looking for that cable or where did I put that jacket shirt whatever because somebody it up where you don't think to check for it dude that drives me crazy but my wife has made it very clear she does not like the way she feels when the house is messy so I can't argue that but at one point we had settled on I could just put things in a box as long as I had things in the Box I was fine so I knew all my random [ __ ] that I just want to know where it is it's all in that box Drew do you know what this woman did with that box what did she do with the Box she [ __ ] hid the box I wish I were joking she hid the box and one day I went to I'm like where's the [ __ ] box and she's like oh so and so was coming over and I didn't want it to be left I was like what is we literally came to an agreement as long as I kept it in the Box I was fine and so now the box is hidden yeah yeah it's messed up Lisa they really do be like that all right that's all I got all right everybody if you have not already
