00:00:23.020 --> 00:00:26.000
Inflation. Inflation has beat expectations for the third
2
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:31.320
straight time. and Bank of America is now
3
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:34.160
warning that the Fed could hike half a
4
00:00:34.160 --> 00:00:38.520
point in December. And with auto loan delinquencies
5
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:41.920
at a record, that is some pain ahead,
6
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:45.380
my friends. Plus, Canada's pension fund reportedly bought
7
00:00:45.380 --> 00:00:48.720
Sailor Strategy, and there is an iPhone bug
8
00:00:48.720 --> 00:00:52.640
that could expose your Bitcoin keys and hot
9
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:54.580
wallets. So beware, we're going to cover this
10
00:00:54.580 --> 00:00:57.440
and plenty more. I'm Ben with the BTC
11
00:00:57.440 --> 00:01:05.900
sessions. This is BitCast. The issue is not
12
00:01:05.900 --> 00:01:08.140
red or blue. The issue is between the
13
00:01:08.140 --> 00:01:09.820
state and you. It can be a little
14
00:01:09.820 --> 00:01:11.560
bit of a warning sign. It gives you
15
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.200
a tool to empower. That sounds like a
16
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:16.940
utopia, my friend. It is. It's exactly a
17
00:01:16.940 --> 00:01:19.600
utopia. With Bitcoin, no one can take it
18
00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:32.160
from you. Good afternoon. It's been delightful. It's
19
00:01:32.160 --> 00:01:34.440
been wonderful. Actually, it's still like reasonable weather
20
00:01:34.440 --> 00:01:35.640
here in Calgary, so I'll call it a
21
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:37.020
win. The kids were outside playing with other
22
00:01:37.020 --> 00:01:39.440
kids. I love it. That's better than looking
23
00:01:39.440 --> 00:01:42.340
at inflation numbers all day, so I don't
24
00:01:42.340 --> 00:01:44.580
know. Way in my book, but all I
25
00:01:44.580 --> 00:01:45.740
hear there is that you haven't found a
26
00:01:45.740 --> 00:01:46.700
way to get Claude to play with your
27
00:01:46.700 --> 00:01:47.820
kids yet, and you need to work on
28
00:01:47.820 --> 00:01:49.420
that. I got to build that. I don't
29
00:01:49.420 --> 00:01:52.420
want anyone named Claude playing with my kids,
30
00:01:52.420 --> 00:01:53.620
especially in close that bar. You know what
31
00:01:53.620 --> 00:01:55.920
I mean? That's a creepy name, if you
32
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:58.060
think about it. So true. So true. Yeah,
33
00:01:58.060 --> 00:02:00.000
100%. All right, so gents. Thanks, Bank of
34
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.880
America, Warren's Fed could deliver a 50 basis
35
00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:07.180
point hike in December. The hot CPI report,
36
00:02:07.180 --> 00:02:11.120
they said, pretty much guarantees a December hike
37
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:13.360
and opens the door for a larger move
38
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:17.600
from previous ones. Headline CPI rose 0 .4%.
39
00:02:17.600 --> 00:02:21.940
Core CPI climbed 0 .3. Third consecutive upside
40
00:02:21.940 --> 00:02:26.780
inflation. Surprise. Bank of America now estimates core
41
00:02:26.780 --> 00:02:30.240
PCE, inflation at 3 .4 .4. 3 %
42
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:34.440
year over year. 2%, not even in the
43
00:02:34.440 --> 00:02:37.880
picture at the moment. Yeah, on top of
44
00:02:37.880 --> 00:02:41.500
this, we have the Fed calling the inflation
45
00:02:41.500 --> 00:02:47.300
report borderline disturbing. So the Chicago Fed Reserve
46
00:02:47.300 --> 00:02:51.780
President called the, again, called it borderline disturbing
47
00:02:51.780 --> 00:02:55.940
and distressing. Based on the stats we just
48
00:02:55.940 --> 00:02:58.080
read off, some Fed officials have been saying
49
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:00.780
that Central Bank needs to be more aggressive
50
00:03:00.780 --> 00:03:04.280
in hiking interest rates to bring down inflation.
51
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.540
While to contrast that, though, we've got Charlie
52
00:03:07.540 --> 00:03:11.500
here, 12 .9 % of credit card balances
53
00:03:11.500 --> 00:03:14.600
in the U .S. are 90 days or
54
00:03:14.600 --> 00:03:18.240
more delinquent. Near the highest since 2011. 10
55
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:20.740
.9 % of student loan balances are now
56
00:03:20.740 --> 00:03:23.520
90 days or more delinquent, the highest since
57
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:26.360
2019, and 5 .7 % of auto loan
58
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:29.220
balances are 90 -plus days delinquent. And this
59
00:03:29.220 --> 00:03:34.480
is the highest level ever on record. So
60
00:03:34.480 --> 00:03:39.160
wild, wild stuff here in terms of people
61
00:03:39.160 --> 00:03:41.620
are, people can afford their bills. It's not
62
00:03:41.620 --> 00:03:44.780
a surprise, obviously. But what do we think?
63
00:03:44.780 --> 00:03:46.500
Do we think we're going to get 50
64
00:03:46.500 --> 00:03:48.660
basis points in the face of all of
65
00:03:48.660 --> 00:03:52.900
that? We might. Joey, your thoughts? A couple
66
00:03:52.900 --> 00:03:55.560
things. Number one, that 4 % number that
67
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:57.140
they used for last year is a guess,
68
00:03:57.140 --> 00:03:59.200
right? because the shutdown means that there was
69
00:03:59.200 --> 00:04:02.600
no data. So that's a bit of a,
70
00:04:02.600 --> 00:04:04.140
what's best way to put it? It's a
71
00:04:04.140 --> 00:04:06.080
bit of a surprise, I think, that they're
72
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:09.120
using that number in this instance, because my
73
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:12.300
guess would be that their preference is obviously
74
00:04:12.300 --> 00:04:14.100
to make that number look smaller. And so
75
00:04:14.100 --> 00:04:15.760
you have the one big thing working against
76
00:04:15.760 --> 00:04:16.940
you is obviously the war and the price
77
00:04:16.940 --> 00:04:18.940
of gas, which is up almost 40 %
78
00:04:18.940 --> 00:04:21.820
year over year, insane jump. And we've talked
79
00:04:21.820 --> 00:04:23.680
about that in the Canadian context where the
80
00:04:23.680 -->

00:04:25.720
Bank of Canada just has one mandate, right?
81
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.260
and they can't control things with interest rates
82
00:04:29.260 --> 00:04:30.540
anymore than the U .S. can, but at
83
00:04:30.540 --> 00:04:32.640
least in the U .S., they have this
84
00:04:32.640 --> 00:04:36.240
shelter to go after price stability in a
85
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:38.520
way that maybe some other banks don't. It's
86
00:04:38.520 --> 00:04:42.880
interesting to me that the Fed, especially Warsh's
87
00:04:42.880 --> 00:04:45.880
Fed, has talked a lot about PCE and
88
00:04:45.880 --> 00:04:50.000
core PCE. They're pretty close to what is
89
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:52.340
expected. GDP is up a little bit too,
90
00:04:52.340 --> 00:04:53.700
which is a good sign for them. Like,
91
00:04:53.700 --> 00:04:56.800
the economy is growing. Not at a crazy
92
00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:59.400
rate or anything like that. I think that
93
00:04:59.400 --> 00:05:00.800
the one thing to keep an eye on,
94
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:04.480
obviously, with inflation expectations and certainly rate expectations
95
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:07.780
is really the S &P. Like, if you
96
00:05:07.780 --> 00:05:10.220
have a significant drop in the S &P
97
00:05:10.220 --> 00:05:12.480
on the back of the anthropic IPO, let's
98
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:14.200
say, which is November 30th, I believe, is
99
00:05:14.200 --> 00:05:17.720
going to be the first trading day. If
100
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:18.580
you think that there's going to be a
101
00:05:18.580 --> 00:05:20.660
drop in the S &P on that day
102
00:05:20.660 --> 00:05:25.480
or following that IPO, then maybe this idea
103
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:25.700
that you're going to be a drop in
104
00:05:25.700 --> 00:05:25.700
the S &P on that day, then maybe
105
00:05:25.700 --> 00:05:25.700
this idea that you're going to be a
106
00:05:25.700 --> 00:05:25.820
drop in the S &P on that. you're
107
00:05:25.820 --> 00:05:27.540
going to see 50 basis points in rate
108
00:05:27.540 --> 00:05:29.340
hikes is far -fetched. I think it might
109
00:05:29.340 --> 00:05:31.740
be far -fetched anyways, but we'll see exactly
110
00:05:31.740 --> 00:05:35.100
how that looks. Don't forget that Warren and
111
00:05:35.100 --> 00:05:39.280
other prominent Democrats called for rate hikes for
112
00:05:39.280 --> 00:05:42.640
the entire first two years of Trump's administration,
113
00:05:42.640 --> 00:05:44.020
or called for rate cuts, I should say,
114
00:05:44.020 --> 00:05:45.500
for the entire first two years. They said
115
00:05:45.500 --> 00:05:46.980
rates were too high. We want to see
116
00:05:46.980 --> 00:05:49.140
them come down. And that's one place they've
117
00:05:49.140 --> 00:05:52.160
agreed in terms of their financial outlook. The
118
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:53.780
other place, obviously, is the debt ceiling. They
119
00:05:53.780 --> 00:05:55.580
want that debt ceiling wiped out. So these
120
00:05:55.580 --> 00:05:59.460
things lend themselves to low rate environments. And
121
00:05:59.460 --> 00:06:00.600
so if you start to, if you start
122
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:03.160
to sort of like wander through the annals
123
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:05.160
of policy in the United States, what you
124
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:08.460
will find is even when times are easy,
125
00:06:08.460 --> 00:06:10.720
the pressure on rates is down. When times
126
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:12.920
are tough, the pressure is even more so
127
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:14.980
to the downside. And I think that most
128
00:06:14.980 --> 00:06:17.340
people in the market believe that we've like
129
00:06:17.340 --> 00:06:20.340
exited this secular rate decline period. I know
130
00:06:20.340 --> 00:06:21.280
some of the guys you've had on the
131
00:06:21.280 --> 00:06:23.220
show, Ben and Nathan for sure, I've talked
132
00:06:23.220 --> 00:06:25.180
about that. But my question, my question. question
133
00:06:25.180 --> 00:06:27.420
for them and my question for people who
134
00:06:27.420 --> 00:06:28.740
think it's going to is going to continue
135
00:06:28.740 --> 00:06:30.660
that way is what do you do about
136
00:06:30.660 --> 00:06:33.940
the sovereign debt all over the place? What
137
00:06:33.940 --> 00:06:35.440
do you do about this number that just
138
00:06:35.440 --> 00:06:37.340
keeps growing all the time? What do you
139
00:06:37.340 --> 00:06:38.700
do about the long end? What do you
140
00:06:38.700 --> 00:06:40.860
do about people who don't want to buy
141
00:06:40.860 --> 00:06:42.920
your bonds anymore? How do you, how do
142
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:45.140
you reassure people that you're going to be
143
00:06:45.140 --> 00:06:47.120
able to cover some of those bases? And
144
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:49.540
I realize that the long end represents, you
145
00:06:49.540 --> 00:06:52.080
know, a risk that's not necessarily all about
146
00:06:52.080 --> 00:06:54.400
debt. But it just seems to me like
147
00:06:54.400 --> 00:06:57.120
there's no way this can continue. And I
148
00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.840
think, you know, not that we are in
149
00:06:59.840 --> 00:07:02.080
the majority when it comes to like market
150
00:07:02.080 --> 00:07:04.380
participants and obviously people in the market don't
151
00:07:04.380 --> 00:07:05.920
even think we're sane, to be honest with
152
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:07.780
you, but there is such a thing as
153
00:07:07.780 --> 00:07:10.280
madness of crowds, is there not? Everybody in
154
00:07:10.280 --> 00:07:12.280
the Brue Terminal thinks that rates are going
155
00:07:12.280 --> 00:07:13.740
to go higher, that we're out of this
156
00:07:13.740 --> 00:07:16.000
secular decline in rates, that zero's not on
157
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:18.500
the table. I don't know, man. I would
158
00:07:18.500 --> 00:07:21.900
challenge, I would challenge a clanker at some
159
00:07:21.900 --> 00:07:24.020
point to show me like the the most
160
00:07:24.020 --> 00:07:28.980
40 prolific Bloomberg terminal users or whatever predictors
161
00:07:28.980 --> 00:07:31.280
of rates. And let's see if the Fed
162
00:07:31.280 --> 00:07:34.260
moves against them, you know, in the sort
163
00:07:34.260 --> 00:07:37.260
of recent history, midterm history, and whether or
164
00:07:37.260 --> 00:07:38.860
not we think it's going to happen again.
165
00:07:38.860 --> 00:07:41.620
Don't forget as well, you are in a
166
00:07:41.620 --> 00:07:43.860
period of, to quote, the great Mark Carney
167
00:07:43.860 --> 00:07:47.180
division and instability, all over the world. The
168
00:07:47.180 --> 00:07:49.140
likelihood that you wind up in a situation
169
00:07:49.140 --> 00:07:52.380
where there's a war breaking out, both inflationary
170
00:07:52.380 --> 00:07:54.560
and friendly to low rates. People want that
171
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:55.860
certainty. They want to be able to spend
172
00:07:55.860 --> 00:07:58.700
money cheaply to stimulate their economy. Governments obviously
173
00:07:58.700 --> 00:08:01.640
want that too. All this to say that,
174
00:08:01.640 --> 00:08:04.660
I don't necessarily think that this rate hike
175
00:08:04.660 --> 00:08:05.840
thing is a big deal. And by the
176
00:08:05.840 --> 00:08:07.840
way, see the market today? Does the market
177
00:08:07.840 --> 00:08:09.400
agree that rates are going to be higher?
178
00:08:09.400 --> 00:08:13.080
Everything's up, including our leather jacket hero, Jensen
179
00:08:13.080 --> 00:08:15.600
Huang, right? He's even he's rolling in cash
180
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.240
again today. So, making that what you will.
181
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:20.260
I want to add in one little tidbit
182
00:08:20.260 --> 00:08:22.700
here as well. And maybe maybe these things
183
00:08:22.700 --> 00:08:27.160
are connected, but global central banks bought 321
184
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:30.060
tons of gold in Q3, 2026. This was
185
00:08:30.060 --> 00:08:33.320
the largest quarterly purchase since Q4, 2024, and
186
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:36.920
the fifth largest quarterly purchase on record. Central
187
00:08:36.920 --> 00:08:40.620
Bank gold purchases up 8 % from 296
188
00:08:40.620 --> 00:08:44.660
tons acquired in Q2, and up 453 %
189
00:08:44.660 --> 00:08:47.940
from Q1. By comparison, the five -year quarterly
190
00:08:47.940 --> 00:08:52.580
average stands at up 227. tons. China and
191
00:08:52.580 --> 00:08:55.640
Poland led Q3 with 63 tons and 40
192
00:08:55.640 --> 00:08:58.460
tons respectively. Year to date, global central banks
193
00:08:58.460 --> 00:09:03.060
have purchased 675 tons of gold up 6
194
00:09:03.060 --> 00:09:06.380
% from the same period in 2025. So,
195
00:09:06.380 --> 00:09:09.720
you know, is this, how far out of
196
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:12.720
band are we? I mean, fifth largest purchase,
197
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:15.520
quarterly purchase on record? Is there something to
198
00:09:15.520 --> 00:09:21.620
this?
Walker. hearing all this stuff and you
199
00:09:21.620 --> 00:09:24.080
know whether it be the household debt rising
200
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:27.260
the delinquencies on you know whether it's credit
201
00:09:27.260 --> 00:09:30.180
cards or you know cars or rent or
202
00:09:30.180 --> 00:09:32.540
whatever it might be and then you know
203
00:09:32.540 --> 00:09:33.900
to joey's point and you know it's like
204
00:09:33.900 --> 00:09:36.000
and the and the markets up and inflation's
205
00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:37.600
running hot the markets up and it's like
206
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:41.020
this is just that that quintessential sort of
207
00:09:41.020 --> 00:09:44.360
k -shaped economy right this is just it's
208
00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:47.180
it's it's this situation where as an asset
209
00:09:47.180 --> 00:09:50.440
holder, granted, we'd like our asset of choice
210
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:52.340
Bitcoin to probably get with the program a
211
00:09:52.340 --> 00:09:54.640
little bit more than it has been, sure,
212
00:09:54.640 --> 00:09:55.900
but you know, we know we're right in
213
00:09:55.900 --> 00:09:59.540
the long term, right guys, I swear. You
214
00:09:59.540 --> 00:10:01.780
feel, you know, it's like, oh, inflation's running
215
00:10:01.780 --> 00:10:03.920
out. It's like, sure, okay, everything's getting continually
216
00:10:03.920 --> 00:10:05.800
debased and will be forever and that's good
217
00:10:05.800 --> 00:10:08.900
for my bags, right, long term. But then
218
00:10:08.900 --> 00:10:10.940
you look at this, the very real and
219
00:10:10.940 --> 00:10:12.520
human side of this, which is that so
220
00:10:12.520 --> 00:10:14.920
many people, as much as it seems and,
221
00:10:14.920 --> 00:10:16.500
you know, people, depending on which sides in
222
00:10:16.500 --> 00:10:18.060
power, You know, they're always going to tell
223
00:10:18.060 --> 00:10:21.320
you the economy's booming thanks to them, right?
224
00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:25.300
But it's like, yeah, for some, but the
225
00:10:25.300 --> 00:10:31.600
divergence between the asset holders who are seeing
226
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:35.100
their wealth grow in paper terms, and the
227
00:10:35.100 --> 00:10:37.560
people who are behind on their rent, behind
228
00:10:37.560 --> 00:10:39.220
their car payments, behind in their credit card
229
00:10:39.220 --> 00:10:42.400
payments at 24 % APY or whatever it
230
00:10:42.400 --> 00:10:45.660
is, just getting smoked, that divergence just keeps
231
00:10:45.660 --> 00:10:47.780
growing and growing. and this is really just
232
00:10:47.780 --> 00:10:48.980
a sign of the times, I think. I
233
00:10:48.980 --> 00:10:50.820
think it's just, this is emblematic of this
234
00:10:50.820 --> 00:10:52.240
age in which we find ourselves where we
235
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:54.660
are getting, we are in the middle of,
236
00:10:54.660 --> 00:10:55.800
or at the, you know, sort of beginning
237
00:10:55.800 --> 00:10:58.240
of this
crisis period that we've talked about
238
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:00.320
a lot. And it's going to get so
239
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:02.560
much worse. Like, yeah, these numbers are kind
240
00:11:02.560 --> 00:11:04.900
of like shocking when you hear them, but
241
00:11:04.900 --> 00:11:06.080
it's going to get, it's going to get
242
00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:07.540
worse for a lot of people. They're not
243
00:11:07.540 --> 00:11:09.300
just going to magically catch up on their
244
00:11:09.300 --> 00:11:10.760
rent and their car payments and their credit
245
00:11:10.760 --> 00:11:13.720
card payments that they're behind on, right? They're
246
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:15.140
not going to magically start making a lot
247
00:11:15.140 --> 00:11:17.040
more money, especially when a lot of them
248
00:11:17.040 --> 00:11:18.340
are going to be out of a job
249
00:11:18.340 --> 00:11:22.040
soon probably because of AI. Like, and or
250
00:11:22.040 --> 00:11:24.460
because of robotics and automation, like, whatever it
251
00:11:24.460 --> 00:11:28.380
might be, or from, you know, another, another
252
00:11:28.380 --> 00:11:30.760
massive influx of doctors and engineers that come
253
00:11:30.760 --> 00:11:32.020
in and put all of our doctors and
254
00:11:32.020 --> 00:11:34.020
engineers out of work, you know, like nobody's
255
00:11:34.020 --> 00:11:35.660
job is safe from the doctors and engineers
256
00:11:35.660 --> 00:11:38.860
that we're lucky enough to have here. Point
257
00:11:38.860 --> 00:11:42.840
being, you kind of wonder, but I think
258
00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:44.660
the original question was about rate hikes, right?
259
00:11:44.660 --> 00:11:46.380
and like what like what are they going
260
00:11:46.380 --> 00:11:49.920
to do i i mean it kind of
261
00:11:49.920 --> 00:11:52.400
looks like a december hike is likely i
262
00:11:52.400 --> 00:11:53.880
don't know what that actually does to the
263
00:11:53.880 --> 00:11:55.800
market i don't think that probably hurts the
264
00:11:55.800 --> 00:11:57.420
market that much i think people trade on
265
00:11:57.420 --> 00:12:00.160
it a little bit but i think at
266
00:12:00.160 --> 00:12:02.300
this point everybody at least the people that
267
00:12:02.300 --> 00:12:04.920
are moving large amounts of money know that
268
00:12:04.920 --> 00:12:07.120
when alden's meme of nothing stops this train
269
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:12.020
right that they they they can't keep rates
270
00:12:12.020 --> 00:12:13.980
it can't make rates higher and higher for
271
00:12:13.980 --> 00:12:15.560
longer and longer they just they can't do
272
00:12:15.560 --> 00:12:18.060
it the whole thing breaks if they do
273
00:12:18.060 --> 00:12:20.520
so you know that that printer is coming
274
00:12:20.520 --> 00:12:22.240
and it's not a question of if it's
275
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:24.420
a question of when when that printer comes
276
00:12:24.420 --> 00:12:26.560
asset holders rejoice yes our bags will all
277
00:12:26.560 --> 00:12:28.320
be pumped joey's ms t r bag will
278
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:31.820
just get so heavy you know canadian's pumping
279
00:12:31.820 --> 00:12:33.260
it too apparently we'll talk more about that
280
00:12:33.260 --> 00:12:36.340
later i know but in the meantime it's
281
00:12:36.340 --> 00:12:38.740
like but you know what that just ends
282
00:12:38.740 --> 00:12:40.940
up hurting the people who are already behind
283
00:12:40.940 --> 00:12:42.420
even more and more and more because they
284
00:12:42.420 --> 00:12:44.640
don't have the assets that are appreciating. They
285
00:12:44.640 --> 00:12:46.540
have a bunch of debts and not like
286
00:12:46.540 --> 00:12:48.600
the Robert Kiyosaki kind of debt, right? They're
287
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:50.280
not sitting on a billion dollars worth of
288
00:12:50.280 --> 00:12:52.460
real estate and other other debt drawn out
289
00:12:52.460 --> 00:12:54.280
that is also getting inflated away. They're sitting
290
00:12:54.280 --> 00:12:58.060
on debt at 24 % APY that's growing
291
00:12:58.060 --> 00:13:00.900
faster than inflation is, you know, is debasing
292
00:13:00.900 --> 00:13:03.220
it, is inflating it away. So I don't
293
00:13:03.220 --> 00:13:05.280
know. There's not really a point of this
294
00:13:05.280 --> 00:13:09.680
more that just fuck. a sorry black pill
295
00:13:09.680 --> 00:13:11.480
moment but like probably gonna get a lot
296
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:13.320
worse and the problem with that is that
297
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:17.240
people end up begging for communism when this
298
00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:18.720
kind of stuff happens that that's that's what
299
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:19.920
this comes down to i guess that's the
300
00:13:19.920 --> 00:13:22.300
point yeah things get bad enough and people
301
00:13:22.300 --> 00:13:24.100
beg for daddy government to step in and
302
00:13:24.100 --> 00:13:27.240
do something because it's unfair and it kind
303
00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:31.000
of is unfair right but government just makes
304
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:32.700
things worse and then we just get more
305
00:13:32.700 --> 00:13:33.560
of it and then i don't know we
306
00:13:33.560 --> 00:13:36.380
get again we get millennial communism zoomer fascism
307
00:13:36.380 --> 00:13:39.020
and by generation is time to shine, we'll
308
00:13:39.020 --> 00:13:42.380
have a monarchy again, you know, Lord willing.
309
00:13:42.380 --> 00:13:44.140
Lord willing. Walker, by the way, since you've
310
00:13:44.140 --> 00:13:45.420
said that I have not got it out
311
00:13:45.420 --> 00:13:46.940
of my head, I feel like that's so,
312
00:13:46.940 --> 00:13:49.320
I would say, prophetic as to where things
313
00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:50.200
are going. It's like, we're totally going to
314
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:51.680
get millennial communism, aren't we? And it's going
315
00:13:51.680 --> 00:13:53.360
to be resulted in consumer fascism. I think
316
00:13:53.360 -->
00:13:55.040
that's absolutely what's being laid out there, but
317
00:13:55.040 --> 00:13:55.900
there's a few things I kind of wanted
318
00:13:55.900 --> 00:13:57.380
to hit on. So one, the U .S.
319
00:13:57.380 --> 00:13:59.220
inflation data, I believe the biggest contributor was
320
00:13:59.220 --> 00:14:01.700
shelter, which this also directly feeds into rates
321
00:14:01.700 --> 00:14:03.680
too. Like, we're almost rising rates becomes like
322
00:14:03.680 --> 00:14:05.760
self -inflicted pain and just puts this in
323
00:14:05.760 --> 00:14:08.160
the wrong direction. The does, WTI was trading
324
00:14:08.160 --> 00:14:11.580
at like $84 a barrel today, right? Oil's
325
00:14:11.580 --> 00:14:13.140
not up all that much gasoline is, but
326
00:14:13.140 --> 00:14:15.960
oil's not necessarily up. The 10 -year rose
327
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:17.400
on the news, I had that pulled up
328
00:14:17.400 --> 00:14:19.680
here, but mortgage rates are already sitting at
329
00:14:19.680 --> 00:14:22.580
7 .17 % in the U .S. So
330
00:14:22.580 --> 00:14:24.000
it's like, how much more is that going
331
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:25.860
to compound and then go into rising mortgage
332
00:14:25.860 --> 00:14:27.780
rates, which then goes into rising shelter costs,
333
00:14:27.780 --> 00:14:29.060
and it just keeps getting worse and worse
334
00:14:29.060 --> 00:14:31.560
and worse. And, Joey, to your point about,
335
00:14:31.560 --> 00:14:34.240
like, I agree, like, everyone's been talking about
336
00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:36.360
how the, like, the secular 40 -year downtrend
337
00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:38.740
and rates is over. But I'm with you,
338
00:14:38.740 --> 00:14:40.400
I think at some point in time, like,
339
00:14:40.400 --> 00:14:41.900
we're going back to zero. Like, it's going
340
00:14:41.900 --> 00:14:43.780
to happen. It's going to snap either to
341
00:14:43.780 --> 00:14:44.840
deal with the debt wall or some sort
342
00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:46.520
of a crisis. Even just taking a look
343
00:14:46.520 --> 00:14:49.880
at the Dixie today, dollars up at 102.
344
00:14:49.880 --> 00:14:51.380
I remember talking to Brent Johnson about this,
345
00:14:51.380 --> 00:14:53.260
and he really flagged 105. That starts to
346
00:14:53.260 --> 00:14:54.800
become a problem for the rest of the
347
00:14:54.800 --> 00:14:56.240
world and for the U .S. as well,
348
00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:57.480
too. You want to be able to be
349
00:14:57.480 --> 00:14:59.860
able to export some goods more than just
350
00:14:59.860 --> 00:15:01.020
beyond the dollar, that we want to get
351
00:15:01.020 --> 00:15:02.560
that rate back down. So I think they're
352
00:15:02.560 --> 00:15:04.160
going to intervene at some point. I don't
353
00:15:04.160 --> 00:15:07.000
necessarily know what catalyzes it. But there's so
354
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:09.120
much potential out there. Like, we've got AI
355
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:10.880
bubble risk. We've got keyman risk, as we
356
00:15:10.880 --> 00:15:13.220
saw with our friend Jensen there. You've got
357
00:15:13.220 --> 00:15:14.820
the ongoing award. And you could have some
358
00:15:14.820 --> 00:15:16.580
other black swan that just drags us, that
359
00:15:16.580 --> 00:15:18.320
has them step back into the market. You
360
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:20.140
already seen some coordination between the Treasury and
361
00:15:20.140 --> 00:15:21.640
the Fed. I fully expected it. I was
362
00:15:21.640 --> 00:15:22.640
trying to pull the data there where you
363
00:15:22.640 --> 00:15:24.700
were going. It looks like we have a
364
00:15:24.700 --> 00:15:27.180
major black swan event every 10 to 12
365
00:15:27.180 --> 00:15:29.640
years. And like a medium -sized one every
366
00:15:29.640 --> 00:15:31.220
two and a half year. The last one
367
00:15:31.220 --> 00:15:32.980
was COVID, about six and a half years
368
00:15:32.980 --> 00:15:35.540
ago. They'll screw something up, right? All the
369
00:15:35.540 --> 00:15:37.060
incentives. incentives are wrong. Shit keeps going. There's
370
00:15:37.060 --> 00:15:40.800
malinvestment, poor direction, government problems everywhere. I fully
371
00:15:40.800 --> 00:15:43.140
expect, Joey, I completely agree that, yes, I
372
00:15:43.140 --> 00:15:45.540
think we're in a rising rates regime right
373
00:15:45.540 --> 00:15:48.360
now, but I don't think that holds forever
374
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:50.200
and maybe not even necessarily that much longer.
375
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:52.400
I don't know. Ben. Yeah. I mean, so
376
00:15:52.400 --> 00:15:56.000
you were talking about the rising cost, that
377
00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:00.640
the inflation costs were largely from shelter. From
378
00:16:00.640 --> 00:16:02.900
shelter. Well, don't worry, they got a fix
379
00:16:02.900 --> 00:16:06.920
for that. Oh, boy, howdy. This could not
380
00:16:06.920 --> 00:16:10.400
backfire. This is actually the funniest tweet of
381
00:16:10.400 --> 00:16:12.180
the day. Well, I guess it was yesterday,
382
00:16:12.180 --> 00:16:16.540
but still hilarious from Caleb Hammer. But context,
383
00:16:16.540 --> 00:16:20.580
former Biden Economic Advisor proposes allowing first -time
384
00:16:20.580 --> 00:16:23.240
homebuyers to purchase their homes with just a
385
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:27.300
$1 ,000 down payment. No problems with that.
386
00:16:27.300 --> 00:16:32.880
His quote tweet, including this image. Solid. Yeah.
387
00:16:32.880 --> 00:16:35.840
There's a bubble. there's a bubble. Come on.
388
00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:39.040
We've done this before, guys. We did the
389
00:16:39.040 --> 00:16:42.980
ninja, right? Yeah. Yeah, it's like, it's like
390
00:16:42.980 --> 00:16:46.400
the, the, you know how it's, it can
391
00:16:46.400 --> 00:16:50.940
be understandable if, if people haven't studied history
392
00:16:50.940 --> 00:16:53.540
and enough time has elapsed that just a
393
00:16:53.540 --> 00:16:56.800
generational thing,
people, people don't take the time
394
00:16:56.800 --> 00:16:58.240
to learn what came before them. And so
395
00:16:58.240 --> 00:16:59.820
then they have to repeat the same mistakes.
396
00:16:59.820 --> 00:17:04.360
But like, this just happened. this is this
397
00:17:04.360 --> 00:17:07.720
is not that reason i remember it no
398
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:10.000
but all the boomers which not the ones
399
00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:11.160
who watch the show because you're beautiful we
400
00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:12.180
love you and you're not included in this
401
00:17:12.180 --> 00:17:14.740
group but all the boomers that own houses
402
00:17:14.740 --> 00:17:17.520
want to keep those housing prices inflated and
403
00:17:17.520 --> 00:17:19.440
if they don't have the younger generation stepping
404
00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:22.000
into buy their shitty house at an overpriced
405
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:24.900
valuation there goes the retirement their savings the
406
00:17:24.900 --> 00:17:27.060
works i would fully believe that like the
407
00:17:27.060 --> 00:17:29.780
generation that went through all of this crap
408
00:17:29.780 --> 00:17:33.000
in 2008 would run that playbook again again,
409
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:34.600
just trying to hold on to their existing
410
00:17:34.600 --> 00:17:36.580
asset prices. Because nothing happens, I think is
411
00:17:36.580 --> 00:17:37.680
Joey would say it. Or Walker, I can't
412
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:39.780
remember which one, maybe both. Nothing happens that
413
00:17:39.780 --> 00:17:42.060
hurts the boomers. Yeah, it was Walker. All
414
00:17:42.060 --> 00:17:44.480
smart things that are said are Walker. Like,
415
00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:45.380
you know, there is no red, there is
416
00:17:45.380 --> 00:17:47.120
no blue, there's the state and there's you.
417
00:17:47.120 --> 00:17:49.760
We need like all the good Walker, all
418
00:17:49.760 --> 00:17:51.540
the good Walker phrases on like t -shirts
419
00:17:51.540 --> 00:17:53.160
available, right? I'll put that up on BTCCC.
420
00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:55.960
But it's worth by somebody else, which is
421
00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:57.640
like a little like fine prints, said by
422
00:17:57.640 --> 00:17:59.960
Walker originally. By Walker. It's worth mentioning, Canadians
423
00:17:59.960 --> 00:18:02.200
really sped run this whole thing. like the
424
00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:04.060
boomer protection at all costs. We've done this
425
00:18:04.060 --> 00:18:07.440
for a long time. The best data point
426
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:09.920
to think about when it comes to this.
427
00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:11.500
Okay, so we'll back up a little bit.
428
00:18:11.500 --> 00:18:14.880
In 08, 0607, whatever you want to say,
429
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:16.560
the Ninja mortgages were crazy, which I think
430
00:18:16.560 --> 00:18:17.940
is, what is it, no income Walker, no
431
00:18:17.940 --> 00:18:21.460
job, and no assets, something like that. I
432
00:18:21.460 --> 00:18:25.280
can't. Yeah, no income, no job, no assets,
433
00:18:25.280 --> 00:18:27.660
right? Yeah, I think that's what it is.
434
00:18:27.660 --> 00:18:30.560
And so what that meant, and, you know,
435
00:18:30.560 --> 00:18:32.700
it's interesting. This was maybe the. original DEI
436
00:18:32.700 --> 00:18:35.920
initiative. Before DEI was in anyone's vocabulary or,
437
00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:37.560
you know, even the government vernacular didn't really
438
00:18:37.560 --> 00:18:40.780
have it. It was meant to help certain
439
00:18:40.780 --> 00:18:45.500
populations acquire homes with the thought that we
440
00:18:45.500 --> 00:18:47.220
can help these people get on their feet,
441
00:18:47.220 --> 00:18:48.680
form families, find jobs if they don't have
442
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:49.940
to worry about, you know, a roof over
443
00:18:49.940 --> 00:18:51.680
their head, which is a good thesis. Like,
444
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:53.040
I do agree with the thesis. It's just
445
00:18:53.040 --> 00:18:55.660
the execution was wrong like so many other
446
00:18:55.660 --> 00:18:57.940
things government does. You know, decent idea, but
447
00:18:57.940 --> 00:18:59.860
you can't execute on it because the market
448
00:18:59.860 --> 00:19:01.380
just won't allow you to put your thumb
449
00:19:01.380 --> 00:19:03.680
on the scale. for that long. The fun,
450
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:05.920
the fun data point, okay, in a world
451
00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:09.720
where I'll just use the Canadian number, here
452
00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:11.740
in Canada, generally, if you go to the
453
00:19:11.740 --> 00:19:13.000
bank and have less than a 20 %
454
00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:14.760
down payment, you have to pay extra to
455
00:19:14.760 --> 00:19:16.840
insure your house. And what it does is
456
00:19:16.840 --> 00:19:19.060
raise the total cost of your mortgage to
457
00:19:19.060 --> 00:19:21.760
the point where, you know, you're paying a
458
00:19:21.760 --> 00:19:25.580
significant, a higher number every month that's not
459
00:19:25.580 --> 00:19:27.760
interest and not principal. So it's actually just
460
00:19:27.760 --> 00:19:29.740
basically money thrown away as far as the
461
00:19:29.740 --> 00:19:30.800
value of the house. Which they prefer, Joey.
462
00:19:30.800 --> 00:19:32.600
which they, of course they do. Because then
463
00:19:32.600 --> 00:19:34.660
their loan is secured. That's right. They want
464
00:19:34.660 --> 00:19:36.340
that. And it's secured by the taxpayer. Now,
465
00:19:36.340 --> 00:19:37.700
the U .S. has not had a lot
466
00:19:37.700 --> 00:19:39.560
of stuff like this in the past. If
467
00:19:39.560 --> 00:19:42.080
anything, at this level. What happens usually is
468
00:19:42.080 --> 00:19:43.820
the bank secures the loan. The government might
469
00:19:43.820 --> 00:19:49.780
backstop it for stuff like certain specialized loan
470
00:19:49.780 --> 00:19:51.520
programs or whatever. But generally, you don't see
471
00:19:51.520 --> 00:19:54.120
something like this. This is backstopped by the
472
00:19:54.120 --> 00:19:57.080
government, which is unbelievable. Now, the best stat
473
00:19:57.080 --> 00:19:58.780
I saw, the median home price in the
474
00:19:58.780 --> 00:20:02.340
U .S., 417 ,500. dollars. A thousand dollars
475
00:20:02.340 --> 00:20:06.120
down represents a whopping 0 .24 % of
476
00:20:06.120 --> 00:20:08.760
your total home value. So, you know, stop
477
00:20:08.760 --> 00:20:10.660
me if you've heard this before, chances are
478
00:20:10.660 --> 00:20:11.900
if you can't afford the down payment, you
479
00:20:11.900 --> 00:20:14.440
can't afford the house. That's the fact of
480
00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:19.500
the matter. The delinquency for this loan book
481
00:20:19.500 --> 00:20:22.460
is already high. So even before this, the
482
00:20:22.460 --> 00:20:26.220
FHA delinquency rate is almost 12%. It's more
483
00:20:26.220 --> 00:20:28.560
than four times what you would see in
484
00:20:28.560 --> 00:20:31.280
a conventional home loan. So the idea that
485
00:20:31.280 --> 00:20:33.360
you're going to like improve on this, these
486
00:20:33.360 --> 00:20:36.460
metrics, improve on stability, improve on the quality
487
00:20:36.460 --> 00:20:39.100
of your book is, I mean, it's less
488
00:20:39.100 --> 00:20:42.060
than zero. It's not going to happen. The
489
00:20:42.060 --> 00:20:45.540
question for me becomes, you know, you have
490
00:20:45.540 --> 00:20:47.640
obviously the K -shaped economy, like Walker said.
491
00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:48.620
And it seems to me like a lot
492
00:20:48.620 --> 00:20:50.100
more people are falling off the top of
493
00:20:50.100 --> 00:20:53.260
the K than riding the K upward. As,
494
00:20:53.260 --> 00:20:55.480
as Costco up, people are selling equities, they're
495
00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:57.120
selling their homes, they're taking loans against their
496
00:20:57.120 --> 00:20:58.780
homes, blah, blah, blah. And you wind up
497
00:20:58.780 --> 00:20:59.520
with more people who are trying to buy.
498
00:20:59.520 --> 00:21:00.780
trying to keep up with the Joneses and
499
00:21:00.780 --> 00:21:02.420
can't do it. Now, this leads to, like,
500
00:21:02.420 --> 00:21:05.740
social instability problems, societal problems. But the fix
501
00:21:05.740 --> 00:21:08.920
has never been give the shit away and
502
00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:10.920
hope that they don't fuck it up. The
503
00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:12.460
fix needs to be, we have to give
504
00:21:12.460 --> 00:21:14.080
these people an opportunity to succeed. And if
505
00:21:14.080 --> 00:21:15.440
they can't succeed, then we got to cut
506
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:18.180
them loose. These are harsh things to say,
507
00:21:18.180 --> 00:21:20.760
especially in 2026, as we talked about before.
508
00:21:20.760 --> 00:21:22.540
You know, we're in millennial communism here on
509
00:21:22.540 --> 00:21:24.540
the edge of it. I don't think that
510
00:21:24.540 --> 00:21:27.380
it's fair for the U .S. taxpayer to
511
00:21:27.380 --> 00:21:28.660
have to foot the bill for what is
512
00:21:28.660 --> 00:21:32.120
increasingly, an incompetent population. These are the same
513
00:21:32.120 --> 00:21:35.580
types that are scamming EBT cards. They're the
514
00:21:35.580 --> 00:21:38.620
same types that are, you know, stealing from
515
00:21:38.620 --> 00:21:42.780
government subsidy programs, the Learing Center types. And,
516
00:21:42.780 --> 00:21:45.860
you know, it's not necessarily, it's not necessarily
517
00:21:45.860 --> 00:21:47.860
a thing that's fixable with just free stuff
518
00:21:47.860 --> 00:21:50.440
or a free house or a house that's
519
00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:53.420
easily acquired or whatever. What you need here
520
00:21:53.420 --> 00:21:57.140
is really like an injection into that population
521
00:21:57.140 --> 00:22:01.560
of quality people, quality opportunities, quality, whatever. And
522
00:22:01.560 --> 00:22:03.200
the fact of the matter is, you're getting
523
00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:04.520
to the point now, not only in Canada
524
00:22:04.520 --> 00:22:05.700
and the U .S., but in other places
525
00:22:05.700 --> 00:22:06.940
as well, as we've seen in the last
526
00:22:06.940 --> 00:22:10.260
few months, maybe more than ever before. Some
527
00:22:10.260 --> 00:22:12.940
people just can't be helped. We make the
528
00:22:12.940 --> 00:22:14.980
doctors and engineers joke a lot, but, you
529
00:22:14.980 --> 00:22:16.780
know, I saw a great stat about people
530
00:22:16.780 --> 00:22:19.400
who can't be helped from Europe. Did you
531
00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:22.940
know that the rate of sexual deviants in
532
00:22:22.940 --> 00:22:25.320
terms of criminal activity is much higher for
533
00:22:25.320 --> 00:22:26.960
people born on January 1st and it is
534
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:29.060
January 2nd? Do you know why that is?
535
00:22:29.060 --> 00:22:29.500
Because, you know why that is? Because, you
536
00:22:29.500 --> 00:22:31.080
know, people who come over in boats don't
537
00:22:31.080 --> 00:22:32.720
have birthdays, and so they just get tagged
538
00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:35.420
with January 1st birthdays. And so, like, you
539
00:22:35.420 --> 00:22:37.500
know, you can't really fix that problem for
540
00:22:37.500 --> 00:22:39.980
the Jan firsters, right? And so what do
541
00:22:39.980 --> 00:22:41.620
you do with that population? You have a
542
00:22:41.620 --> 00:22:42.880
choice to make, I think, is a modern
543
00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:44.540
country. And Europe is being faced with this
544
00:22:44.540 --> 00:22:45.920
big time. Canada is going to be faced
545
00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:47.980
with it very soon, if we're not already.
546
00:22:47.980 --> 00:22:50.080
How do you prevent those populations from causing
547
00:22:50.080 --> 00:22:52.980
problems that move upstream? Because they are at
548
00:22:52.980 --> 00:22:54.580
the bottom of the stream, right? So how
549
00:22:54.580 --> 00:22:57.200
do you prevent them from moving upstream? This
550
00:22:57.200 --> 00:22:59.180
is not the way to do it. But
551
00:22:59.180 --> 00:23:01.880
again, because of the way that the political
552
00:23:01.880 --> 00:23:03.900
engine works in the United States, you're banking
553
00:23:03.900 --> 00:23:05.340
on one thing and one thing only, it
554
00:23:05.340 --> 00:23:08.000
is votes. And if you can buy votes
555
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:10.760
with other people's money, why not? Why not
556
00:23:10.760 --> 00:23:13.520
do it? Right? Makes sense? I don't know,
557
00:23:13.520 --> 00:23:15.100
Walker. You tell me what you think. I'm
558
00:23:15.100 --> 00:23:16.840
curious. You're the American on the panel. It's
559
00:23:16.840 --> 00:23:18.920
really in your back area. I was just
560
00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:20.340
going to say, Joe, I think we need
561
00:23:20.340 --> 00:23:23.120
some one of the first Bitcast, Merse shirts
562
00:23:23.120 --> 00:23:28.020
is going to be that what was, what's
563
00:23:28.020 --> 00:23:30.280
the government program. Oh, the Ninja Loans were
564
00:23:30.280 --> 00:23:34.000
the original DEI. Yeah. That's what it was.
565
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:35.220
I mean, that's the first time I've ever
566
00:23:35.220 --> 00:23:36.760
thought about it, but I don't know, maybe
567
00:23:36.760 --> 00:23:39.920
I'm wrong. Yeah, Walker. Okay stuff sometimes, I
568
00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:42.940
guess. Walker, we need a Walker rant, and
569
00:23:42.940 --> 00:23:44.580
we need the Walker rant to lead us
570
00:23:44.580 --> 00:23:47.240
into break, I think, is what we need.
571
00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:49.240
So this, as Joey was talking, it was
572
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:50.760
just making me think of that, the old
573
00:23:50.760 --> 00:23:54.560
Milton Friedman quote where he talks about like
574
00:23:54.560 --> 00:23:56.880
the four ways to spend money or the
575
00:23:56.880 --> 00:23:59.060
four ways people spend money and the idea
576
00:23:59.060 --> 00:24:00.560
that when you spend your own money on
577
00:24:00.560 --> 00:24:02.340
yourself, you know, you care both about the
578
00:24:02.340 --> 00:24:04.820
cost and about getting the best value obviously
579
00:24:04.820 --> 00:24:06.980
because you know, you're spending it on you,
580
00:24:06.980 --> 00:24:08.080
you care about you and you're spending your
581
00:24:08.080 --> 00:24:09.440
money. So you care about the money and
582
00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:10.640
the cost of it. But when you're spending
583
00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:12.940
your own money on someone else, you care
584
00:24:12.940 --> 00:24:15.580
about the cost but less about what they
585
00:24:15.580 --> 00:24:18.660
get, right? When you're spending someone else's money
586
00:24:18.660 --> 00:24:21.560
on yourself, you care about what you get
587
00:24:21.560 --> 00:24:23.580
but not about the cost. And when you're
588
00:24:23.580 -->
00:24:26.580
spending someone else's money on someone else, well,
589
00:24:26.580 --> 00:24:29.120
you don't care very much about the cost
590
00:24:29.120 --> 00:24:31.680
or the result and that is how government
591
00:24:31.680 --> 00:24:36.880
spends. Oh, yeah, that's a beautiful, no, it's
592
00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:39.480
such a great, just a great heuristic for
593
00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:41.960
looking at these things. Because once you, once
594
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:43.280
you hear that, like, you can't, that, that's
595
00:24:43.280 --> 00:24:44.800
going to be stuck in your head now.
596
00:24:44.800 --> 00:24:47.000
You can't unhear that. And this is the
597
00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:50.820
thing, when you, there's this idea, I think,
598
00:24:50.820 --> 00:24:53.220
that a lot of probably well -meaning folks
599
00:24:53.220 --> 00:24:56.580
have, primarily liberals, but certainly some, uh, some
600
00:24:56.580 --> 00:24:58.280
conservatives too and let's be honest you know
601
00:24:58.280 --> 00:24:59.520
there is no red there is no blue
602
00:24:59.520 --> 00:25:00.520
there is the state and there is you
603
00:25:00.520 --> 00:25:04.420
right baby so the idea is that they
604
00:25:04.420 --> 00:25:05.960
they want to be seen as very virtuous
605
00:25:05.960 --> 00:25:07.600
right and we have to help the we
606
00:25:07.600 --> 00:25:09.720
have to help you know the downtrodden you
607
00:25:09.720 --> 00:25:11.820
know we have to this that's what america
608
00:25:11.820 --> 00:25:15.260
is helping the downtrodden and it's like well
609
00:25:15.260 --> 00:25:18.340
you're free to do that you're free to
610
00:25:18.340 --> 00:25:18.880
do that you're free to do that anytime
611
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:21.140
you like you can volunteer your time you
612
00:25:21.140 --> 00:25:23.020
can donate your money nobody is stopping you
613
00:25:23.020 --> 00:25:25.340
can donate your money to the government if
614
00:25:25.340 --> 00:25:26.580
you want you can overpay on your tax
615
00:25:26.580 --> 00:25:31.240
taxes. Yeah, there you go. That's a nice
616
00:25:31.240 --> 00:25:32.580
little, nice little chart there to break it
617
00:25:32.580 --> 00:25:36.460
down. The problem is that this sort of
618
00:25:36.460 --> 00:25:39.520
like, I guess I would say paternalistic would
619
00:25:39.520 --> 00:25:42.140
be the correct word, this paternalistic view that
620
00:25:42.140 --> 00:25:44.520
like these these poor people are just basically,
621
00:25:44.520 --> 00:25:47.320
I mean, essentially liberals have this very racist
622
00:25:47.320 --> 00:25:51.040
idea that poor people are or certain, you
623
00:25:51.040 --> 00:25:54.460
know, certain ethnicities and things like that. Basically
624
00:25:54.460 --> 00:25:56.880
liberals are insanely racist because they think that
625
00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:00.200
they're just too stupid to do anything themselves.
626
00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:02.500
So they need the constant handouts from the
627
00:26:02.500 --> 00:26:04.820
government, i .e. funded by the taxpayer, in
628
00:26:04.820 --> 00:26:07.120
order to be able to exist at all.
629
00:26:07.120 --> 00:26:08.820
And the problem with this is that I
630
00:26:08.820 --> 00:26:10.960
think everybody knows this from their own personal
631
00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:13.980
lives. If something is just handed to you
632
00:26:13.980 --> 00:26:16.340
on a silver platter and you don't have
633
00:26:16.340 --> 00:26:18.360
to work for it, you tend not to
634
00:26:18.360 --> 00:26:21.420
appreciate it. We appreciate the things that we
635
00:26:21.420 --> 00:26:23.580
have to work hard for, that we have
636
00:26:23.580 --> 00:26:25.720
to struggle for a little bit, that we
637
00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:27.440
have to dedicate our and our energy, our
638
00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:31.340
mental capacity to achieving. That is what brings
639
00:26:31.340 --> 00:26:33.320
satisfaction in life, one. That is what brings
640
00:26:33.320 --> 00:26:36.460
fulfillment in life on top of that. And
641
00:26:36.460 --> 00:26:38.880
it also is what makes you really appreciate
642
00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:42.520
what you have and treat it well. When
643
00:26:42.520 --> 00:26:46.320
you're just given things, when there's no expectation
644
00:26:46.320 --> 00:26:49.560
of ever having to do anything in return,
645
00:26:49.560 --> 00:26:52.060
when you are just handed, whatever it may
646
00:26:52.060 --> 00:26:54.940
be on a silver platter, because of the
647
00:26:54.940 --> 00:26:59.680
beneficence of your, you know, your commie overlords,
648
00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:03.000
you tend really not to put too much
649
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:05.820
stake in it. It's just an expectation then.
650
00:27:05.820 --> 00:27:07.560
And why would you go out of your
651
00:27:07.560 --> 00:27:10.440
way to work and to actually struggle when
652
00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:12.440
your needs are met? Why would you try
653
00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:13.640
to start a, why would you try to
654
00:27:13.640 --> 00:27:15.780
start a business? Sorry about that. Why would
655
00:27:15.780 --> 00:27:16.960
you try to start a business? Why would
656
00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:18.360
you try to better yourself? Why would you
657
00:27:18.360 --> 00:27:21.360
try to do anything if the incentive isn't
658
00:27:21.360 --> 00:27:23.920
there? Now, I'm not saying that some people,
659
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:25.920
don't genuinely need help and that we shouldn't
660
00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:29.440
provide it. But the socials and people, especially,
661
00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:32.080
I see, you know, you'll see Europeans say
662
00:27:32.080 --> 00:27:33.080
this kind of stuff a lot. They're like,
663
00:27:33.080 --> 00:27:35.460
oh, you know, in America, they don't take
664
00:27:35.460 --> 00:27:36.440
care of their poor. They don't have a
665
00:27:36.440 --> 00:27:37.600
social safety net, dot -da -da -da -da
666
00:27:37.600 --> 00:27:39.800
-da -da.
It's like, the fuck we don't,
667
00:27:39.800 --> 00:27:43.300
man. We've, like, most, most of our budget
668
00:27:43.300 --> 00:27:47.080
goes to entitlements. And if you don't know
669
00:27:47.080 --> 00:27:49.340
what entitlements are, Google them. You can Google
670
00:27:49.340 --> 00:27:50.800
the percentage of the budget that goes to
671
00:27:50.800 --> 00:27:52.620
each of these. I mean, if only we
672
00:27:52.620 --> 00:27:55.420
spent more, less money, on the military and
673
00:27:55.420 --> 00:27:58.080
more on helping the poor and on education.
674
00:27:58.080 --> 00:28:00.280
It's like, we fucking do, you idiot. We
675
00:28:00.280 --> 00:28:02.100
spend more money on the fucking interest than
676
00:28:02.100 --> 00:28:04.120
we do in the military. Like, I'm not,
677
00:28:04.120 --> 00:28:06.560
I'm not here to fluff the military. I'm
678
00:28:06.560 --> 00:28:08.960
just saying, like, it's actually not a consequential
679
00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:10.740
part of the budget compared to all of
680
00:28:10.740 --> 00:28:12.520
the shit we just hand out for free,
681
00:28:12.520 --> 00:28:13.940
compared to the Ponzi scheme that is Social
682
00:28:13.940 --> 00:28:16.280
Security that is set to run out by
683
00:28:16.280 --> 00:28:18.360
2032, this like fucking boomer Ponzi scheme that
684
00:28:18.360 --> 00:28:20.560
none of us that are our age, that
685
00:28:20.560 --> 00:28:22.500
are millennials, and certainly not the Zoomers, and
686
00:28:22.500 --> 00:28:24.340
certainly not, you know, the and alpha is
687
00:28:24.340 --> 00:28:26.280
my son's generation, we're not going to see
688
00:28:26.280 --> 00:28:28.140
a damn dime of that. There's no way
689
00:28:28.140 --> 00:28:32.000
it's insolvent. It doesn't work. And especially when
690
00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:35.940
you have a whole swath of people. I
691
00:28:35.940 --> 00:28:36.820
mean, I think, what is it? It's like
692
00:28:36.820 --> 00:28:38.780
50, maybe Nathan, you can pull this up
693
00:28:38.780 --> 00:28:39.580
because I don't want to talk with my
694
00:28:39.580 --> 00:28:41.180
ass on this. But I think it's like
695
00:28:41.180 --> 00:28:43.320
getting close to 50 % of people that
696
00:28:43.320 --> 00:28:46.880
pay zero federal income tax at all. It's
697
00:28:46.880 --> 00:28:48.460
about that. The majority of the federal income
698
00:28:48.460 --> 00:28:50.520
tax is paid by the, you know, the
699
00:28:50.520 --> 00:28:53.580
top 10%, like vast, big old, big old
700
00:28:53.580 --> 00:28:55.540
chunk of it, like half the population just
701
00:28:55.540 --> 00:28:59.080
doesn't pay any at all. And so, you
702
00:28:59.080 --> 00:29:01.280
know, this whole like, you know, this tax
703
00:29:01.280 --> 00:29:03.940
the rich slogan, these slogans that sound nice,
704
00:29:03.940 --> 00:29:06.400
help the poor, tax the rich, you know,
705
00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:07.500
all these things, you know, all these things,
706
00:29:07.500 --> 00:29:08.360
you know, what was Robin Hood. And it's
707
00:29:08.360 --> 00:29:10.440
like, well, Robin Hood was actually, the, what
708
00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:12.300
he was doing was kind of protesting against
709
00:29:12.300 --> 00:29:14.540
the high taxation is what that story is
710
00:29:14.540 --> 00:29:17.280
actually about. It's actually about fucking taxation, you
711
00:29:17.280 --> 00:29:22.260
twat. Sorry, taxation gets me heated. Latest figure
712
00:29:22.260 --> 00:29:26.260
is 40%. 40 % of about 76 million.
713
00:29:26.260 --> 00:29:28.940
Pay zero federal income tax. Yeah. Okay. I
714
00:29:28.940 --> 00:29:30.680
was 10 % off, so, or 9 %
715
00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:32.440
off. So apologies there, guys. Thank you for
716
00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:35.380
calling me on that, Nathan. This is insane.
717
00:29:35.380 --> 00:29:39.000
Like, what we need to do, how you
718
00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:41.460
enable people to move up in America and
719
00:29:41.460 --> 00:29:46.020
why America attracted the hardest working, most entrepreneurial,
720
00:29:46.020 --> 00:29:48.280
most risk -taking people in the entire world
721
00:29:48.280 --> 00:29:50.700
to come here and what built America into
722
00:29:50.700 --> 00:29:53.400
what it is today is, is you. gave
723
00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:54.620
him the freedom to go out there and
724
00:29:54.620 --> 00:29:57.980
fucking do shit without a big fat, saggy
725
00:29:57.980 --> 00:30:01.900
government leering over your shoulder, and, you know,
726
00:30:01.900 --> 00:30:04.400
no quality leering center joke intended there, leering
727
00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:07.440
over your shoulder trying to snatch 40, 50,
728
00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:09.840
60 % of every fucking dollar you make
729
00:30:09.840 --> 00:30:11.780
and give it to people who don't fucking
730
00:30:11.780 --> 00:30:13.980
deserve it. You want to make, like, you
731
00:30:13.980 --> 00:30:17.080
want to make America great again? Fucking cut
732
00:30:17.080 --> 00:30:21.200
taxes. Stop printing so much fucking money. Stop
733
00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:23.000
papering over. I don't know. Balance a fucking
734
00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:25.280
bucking. budget for Christ's sake. Like, that's a
735
00:30:25.280 --> 00:30:27.220
novel concept. How about a balanced budget that
736
00:30:27.220 --> 00:30:29.620
doesn't require us to paper, literally paper over
737
00:30:29.620 --> 00:30:32.400
the deficit and raise that ceiling to the
738
00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:35.600
fucking roof? It's a joke. And this is
739
00:30:35.600 --> 00:30:37.520
why people give me shit for the, there
740
00:30:37.520 --> 00:30:38.500
is no red, there is no blue, there's
741
00:30:38.500 --> 00:30:39.780
the state, and there is you. Or maybe
742
00:30:39.780 --> 00:30:41.220
they get Ben shit now since he's co
743
00:30:41.220 --> 00:30:43.040
-opted it. I don't know. I don't know.
744
00:30:43.040 --> 00:30:45.000
But it's like, well, come on. Give me
745
00:30:45.000
--> 00:30:46.720
shit, I tell him, I was you. Yeah,
746
00:30:46.720 --> 00:30:48.600
there you go. That's okay. You know, oh,
747
00:30:48.600 --> 00:30:50.300
well, you know, obviously Trump is better than
748
00:30:50.300 --> 00:30:51.540
Kamala. It's like, yeah, no shit Trump's better
749
00:30:51.540 --> 00:30:53.760
than Kamala. He's not a fucking idiot. But
750
00:30:53.760 --> 00:30:57.700
like the point is that on mass, at
751
00:30:57.700 --> 00:30:59.960
a high level, both of these parties, they
752
00:30:59.960 --> 00:31:02.060
don't actually change anything that needs changing. What
753
00:31:02.060 --> 00:31:03.540
needs changing is we need a smaller fucking
754
00:31:03.540 --> 00:31:05.220
government. What needs changing is we need a
755
00:31:05.220 --> 00:31:08.080
balanced fucking budget. What needs changing is probably
756
00:31:08.080 --> 00:31:09.580
I shouldn't swear so fucking much, but I'm
757
00:31:09.580 --> 00:31:10.700
sorry, I get a little bit heated. And
758
00:31:10.700 --> 00:31:11.900
if this doesn't piss you off, I think
759
00:31:11.900 --> 00:31:13.780
there's something wrong. I think if you see
760
00:31:13.780 --> 00:31:16.380
the greatness that America has inside of it,
761
00:31:16.380 --> 00:31:19.920
inside of its people, and you see the
762
00:31:19.920 --> 00:31:26.760
absolute kleptocracy, the octogenarian, you know, geriatric kleptocracy
763
00:31:26.760 --> 00:31:30.880
that runs this sham of a government. And
764
00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:32.200
that doesn't piss you off. I think there's
765
00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:36.900
something wrong. Because America is great. The American
766
00:31:36.900 --> 00:31:38.820
people are great. The ideals upon which this
767
00:31:38.820 --> 00:31:40.420
nation was founded and the types of people
768
00:31:40.420 --> 00:31:42.640
we have attracted here have made this nation
769
00:31:42.640 --> 00:31:45.600
great and it will continue to be, but
770
00:31:45.600 --> 00:31:48.140
not if we fall in this complacent attitude
771
00:31:48.140 --> 00:31:50.680
of, well, there's nothing we can do or,
772
00:31:50.680 --> 00:31:52.200
well, you know what, like we've always been
773
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:53.860
doing it this way, really. for the last,
774
00:31:53.860 --> 00:31:57.060
you know, 50 years. I don't know, guys.
775
00:31:57.060 --> 00:31:58.460
I would suggest you get a, don't be
776
00:31:58.460 --> 00:31:59.540
afraid to get a little bit pissed off
777
00:31:59.540 --> 00:32:02.080
about this stuff. Because we, we deserve better
778
00:32:02.080 --> 00:32:05.280
than just a fucking kleptocratic duopoly that never
779
00:32:05.280 --> 00:32:07.060
shrink the size of government, never drops your
780
00:32:07.060 --> 00:32:09.780
taxes, or taxes went, went up. The price
781
00:32:09.780 --> 00:32:11.500
of everything goes up for fucking ever when
782
00:32:11.500 --> 00:32:14.280
it should be going down forever. Your life's
783
00:32:14.280 --> 00:32:16.700
work, your literal time and energy are being
784
00:32:16.700 --> 00:32:19.380
stolen from you. They are being stolen from
785
00:32:19.380 --> 00:32:21.960
you and redistributed through taxes. They're being stolen
786
00:32:21.960 --> 00:32:25.380
from you through inflation. your freedoms are restricted
787
00:32:25.380 --> 00:32:27.820
by people who don't give a flying fuck
788
00:32:27.820 --> 00:32:31.540
about you. I don't know. I don't know
789
00:32:31.540 --> 00:32:33.260
about you guys, but I just think that's
790
00:32:33.260 --> 00:32:36.980
bullshit. End of mini rant. That was not
791
00:32:36.980 --> 00:32:39.080
waiting for it. It's not many. I was
792
00:32:39.080 --> 00:32:40.560
like, where is end of rant? Are we
793
00:32:40.560 --> 00:32:41.640
done? Are we good? We're in the back
794
00:32:41.640 --> 00:32:43.100
chat going, what's going on here? I thought
795
00:32:43.100 --> 00:32:43.820
he said he was going to just too
796
00:32:43.820 --> 00:32:45.580
mini -wain. It was. And then I looked
797
00:32:45.580 --> 00:32:47.060
at Joey's face and I got so pissed
798
00:32:47.060 --> 00:32:49.460
off. I just had to keep going. Okay,
799
00:32:49.460 --> 00:32:50.240
a couple of things that's one here on
800
00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:52.440
there quick. One, that whole liberal instinct to
801
00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:54.160
try and take care of everybody that is
802
00:32:54.160 --> 00:32:56.900
misallocated female caring it's a good instinct that
803
00:32:56.900 --> 00:32:58.040
they have but it goes in the wrong
804
00:32:58.040 --> 00:32:59.380
direction so if you want to save the
805
00:32:59.380 --> 00:33:01.540
world stack bitcoin and knock up a smart
806
00:33:01.540 --> 00:33:02.820
woman she has a baby to take care
807
00:33:02.820 --> 00:33:04.960
of everything gets a lot better too if
808
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:06.540
you're really pissed off like you're really pissed
809
00:33:06.540 --> 00:33:07.740
off and you want to put that energy
810
00:33:07.740 --> 00:33:09.960
somewhere well you can go ahead and use
811
00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:11.960
that energy to buy the new btc sessions
812
00:33:11.960 --> 00:33:14.720
ninja loans were the original DEI i'll have
813
00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:16.340
that on the store later today just wanted
814
00:33:16.340 --> 00:33:17.480
to get that one in there i actually
815
00:33:17.480 --> 00:33:20.460
i want that so bad it's pretty sweet
816
00:33:20.460 --> 00:33:22.100
honestly it's not quite like we need we
817
00:33:22.100 --> 00:33:24.560
like a drop shoulder a t -shirt, get
818
00:33:24.560 --> 00:33:26.940
it down a little bit. I'm surprised no
819
00:33:26.940 --> 00:33:28.820
one's mentioned this yet. We need the V
820
00:33:28.820 --> 00:33:30.640
-neck. This is the most clothes, most like
821
00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:32.680
less skin exposed I've seen on Walker in
822
00:33:32.680 --> 00:33:34.500
a long time. there's a code. It's coming
823
00:33:34.500 --> 00:33:36.680
up to his neck.
It needs to be
824
00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:39.860
a tent top. It's cold. It's cold here.
825
00:33:39.860 --> 00:33:41.380
I'm not wearing any pants, though, so it's
826
00:33:41.380 --> 00:33:43.280
fine. At a point. And then the last
827
00:33:43.280 --> 00:33:44.140
thing I'll just throw in there, we might
828
00:33:44.140 --> 00:33:45.340
talk about more later too. But again, because
829
00:33:45.340 --> 00:33:46.700
you mentioned, we talked about the military. Just
830
00:33:46.700 --> 00:33:48.820
shout out to all the Bitcoin veterans, both
831
00:33:48.820 --> 00:33:50.820
on Remembrance Day and on Veterans Day right
832
00:33:50.820 --> 00:33:51.660
now. So I wanted to get that one
833
00:33:51.660 --> 00:33:54.660
in there as well, Ben. Amen. Uh, gents,
834
00:33:54.660 --> 00:33:58.080
I'm just seeing some breaking news. Don't say
835
00:33:58.080 --> 00:34:01.100
it. Don't say it. Concerning Mr. Sailor. Oh.
836
00:34:01.100 --> 00:34:02.340
And we're going to have to, we're going
837
00:34:02.340 --> 00:34:03.980
to have to drop that on the other
838
00:34:03.980 --> 00:34:06.700
side of the break. It's a tasty. Did
839
00:34:06.700 --> 00:34:08.080
he have sex with someone? Is that what
840
00:34:08.080 --> 00:34:11.580
happened? Uh, he might have tested some Chinese
841
00:34:11.580 --> 00:34:14.940
models. Oh, man. No. But, uh, but the
842
00:34:14.940 --> 00:34:16.820
best part is some of the other stories
843
00:34:16.820 --> 00:34:19.280
that I had teed up are, it's like
844
00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:24.160
the perfect chef's kiss, uh, leading through. some
845
00:34:24.160 --> 00:34:26.340
stuff that's been going on here in Canada
846
00:34:26.340 --> 00:34:29.600
as well. It all links together so, so
847
00:34:29.600 --> 00:34:31.780
beautifully. So we're going to touch on that
848
00:34:31.780 --> 00:34:34.580
after the break, spicy sailor news and much
849
00:34:34.580 --> 00:34:37.340
more. Also, I've got a show after the
850
00:34:37.340 --> 00:34:41.520
break, a citizen reporter on X told Buceli
851
00:34:41.520 --> 00:34:43.600
where a gang leader's house is, and he
852
00:34:43.600 --> 00:34:46.980
literally took out the house by helicopter. It's
853
00:34:46.980 --> 00:34:51.920
wild. There's footage of the strike. Anyways. So
854
00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:54.060
we're going to come back. and plenty more.
855
00:34:54.060 --> 00:34:56.840
So drop those likes, give a share, and
856
00:34:56.840 --> 00:34:58.380
toss those chairs in the chat. We'll be
857
00:34:58.380 --> 00:35:01.860
back in just a moment. The guys over
858
00:35:01.860 --> 00:35:03.680
at Stamps, seed genuinely surprised me with this
859
00:35:03.680 --> 00:35:04.600
one. I actually had to reach out and
860
00:35:04.600 --> 00:35:06.600
double check before hitting record. So for the
861
00:35:06.600 --> 00:35:08.160
month of November, they're having their best pricing
862
00:35:08.160 --> 00:35:10.200
ever, and it's not even close. Their seed

pointing people to when they ask about Bitcoin
899
00:36:20.840 --> 00:36:23.860
mining is abundant mines. They were founded by
900
00:36:23.860 --> 00:36:26.760
Bo and Christine Turner after losing over half
901
00:36:26.760 --> 00:36:28.960
a million dollars to broken promises in the
902
00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:31.480
mining industry, and they built their hosting model
903
00:36:31.480 --> 00:36:34.660
to remove the usual headaches. With abundant mines,
904
00:36:34.660 --> 00:36:37.180

goes down, their hash rate redirect system, hash

00:37:12.360 --> 00:37:13.820
All right, guys, I've got to paint a
917
00:37:13.820 --> 00:37:15.040
picture here for you, so I'm going to
918
00:37:15.040 --> 00:37:18.260
start with this tweet here. The CPP, Canadian
919
00:37:18.260 --> 00:37:22.340
Pension Plan. They are laying off dozens. of
920
00:37:22.340 --> 00:37:27.760
employees at their struggling active equities division. Okay?
921
00:37:27.760 --> 00:37:31.440
So Canadian pension plan, division that deals just
922
00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:34.420
with equities. Um, yeah, they've been losing billions
923
00:37:34.420 --> 00:37:37.440
of dollars of pension money on bad bets.
924
00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:43.300
Okay. Fair enough. Uh, this also from yesterday,
925
00:37:43.300 --> 00:37:48.200
Canadian pension buys 153 million in Sailor's strategy
926
00:37:48.200 --> 00:37:50.820
shares 153 million in Sailor's strategy shares. Uh,
927
00:37:50.820 --> 00:37:51.660
so first off.! so he works for the
928
00:37:51.660 --> 00:37:55.720
Canadian pension. That was my exact thought, Walker.
929
00:37:55.720 --> 00:37:56.880
I knew he was a Fed, I didn't
930
00:37:56.880 --> 00:37:58.720
know it was there. And now I'm laid
931
00:37:58.720 --> 00:38:03.220
off. Dossed. I've been taking advice on, given
932
00:38:03.220 --> 00:38:04.900
on this show, and now I'm out of
933
00:38:04.900 --> 00:38:07.240
jobs. That's it. It's funny. The first comment
934
00:38:07.240 --> 00:38:09.060
down below, must be bullshit, I'm a Canadian
935
00:38:09.060 --> 00:38:13.120
and presently in Alberta, there's nobody that smart
936
00:38:13.120 --> 00:38:14.860
in this fucking country to make that good
937
00:38:14.860 --> 00:38:17.880
of an investment. So again, here we go.
938
00:38:17.880 --> 00:38:21.540
So, CPP laying
off, ton of workers, because
939
00:38:21.540 --> 00:38:25.640
they've been making really bad bets with equities.
940
00:38:25.640 --> 00:38:29.120
Canadian pension fund buys a ton of strategy
941
00:38:29.120 --> 00:38:33.880
shares. Today, MSCI has officially decided to remove
942
00:38:33.880 --> 00:38:39.180
strategy from its global indexes. So that means
943
00:38:39.180 --> 00:38:44.020
that the forced allocations to strategy across various
944
00:38:44.020 --> 00:38:46.760
funds are no longer forced forced and need
945
00:38:46.760 --> 00:38:50.460
to be readjusted. So we'll see how this
946
00:38:50.460 --> 00:38:53.680
impacts the price as of what market open
947
00:38:53.680 --> 00:38:58.220
tomorrow. I mean, there's probably after hours we'll
948
00:38:58.220 --> 00:39:00.160
be able to see some indications of that.
949
00:39:00.160 --> 00:39:01.980
But, you know, I'll pull it up while
950
00:39:01.980 --> 00:39:03.960
I'm talking, just red line going further and
951
00:39:03.960 --> 00:39:07.960
further into fucking Hades. It's not so bad
952
00:39:07.960 --> 00:39:09.600
for the after hours. Actually, a little bit
953
00:39:09.600 --> 00:39:10.840
of pump going into the end of the
954
00:39:10.840 --> 00:39:12.060
day. And then I'm not sure when the
955
00:39:12.060 --> 00:39:13.800
news broke, but it's come back down. So
956
00:39:13.800 --> 00:39:16.020
I got that chart with you ready. Okay.
957
00:39:16.020 --> 00:39:17.400
Yeah, yeah, you can go ahead and share
958
00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:20.180
it. But I mean, just like the pairing
959
00:39:20.180 --> 00:39:22.040
of those things, how we laid off a
960
00:39:22.040 --> 00:39:24.180
time. ton of people in the equities division
961
00:39:24.180 --> 00:39:27.300
and then they maybe potentially make a half
962
00:39:27.300 --> 00:39:32.280
decent call and then pulled from the indices.
963
00:39:32.280 --> 00:39:33.520
And it's gone. I want to shout out
964
00:39:33.520 --> 00:39:35.820
whatever Chad in there who didn't get fired
965
00:39:35.820 --> 00:39:37.460
and was like, finally all these idiots are
966
00:39:37.460 --> 00:39:40.080
out of here. I'm fucking smash buying MSTR.
967
00:39:40.080 --> 00:39:42.480
It's not, it's not quite, yeah, it's not
968
00:39:42.480 --> 00:39:44.100
quite, okay, so let me, let me explain
969
00:39:44.100 --> 00:39:46.560
it to you. You do work there then.
970
00:39:46.560 --> 00:39:49.060
Yeah, let me. Okay, okay. How it works.
971
00:39:49.060 --> 00:39:50.220
So it used to work when he was
972
00:39:50.220 --> 00:39:53.800
still employed. The CPPI. runs the pension for
973
00:39:53.800 --> 00:39:56.720
the country. So when you claim like OAS
974
00:39:56.720 --> 00:39:58.920
old age security or whatever in Canada, your
975
00:39:58.920 --> 00:40:02.700
Canada pension at 60 or 65, that comes
976
00:40:02.700 --> 00:40:05.740
from the CPPIB. So the investments are, they
977
00:40:05.740 --> 00:40:11.480
are defined by different metrics. So some
of
978
00:40:11.480 --> 00:40:13.180
it is means tested. Some of it's not.
979
00:40:13.180 --> 00:40:14.360
Some of it is based on what age
980
00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:16.280
you start claiming it. And everyone gets a
981
00:40:16.280 --> 00:40:18.260
different piece of the pie. Okay, that's fine.
982
00:40:18.260 --> 00:40:21.520
The pension that bought this, this bit is
983
00:40:21.520 --> 00:40:24.680
the public service. pension, my pension. And that
984
00:40:24.680 --> 00:40:29.320
pension is defined benefit. So if, let's say
985
00:40:29.320 --> 00:40:31.740
tomorrow, someone at the public service pension office
986
00:40:31.740 --> 00:40:36.540
is like, shit, they are buying MS, or
987
00:40:36.540 --> 00:40:38.520
they're losing MSCI listing that's going to cost
988
00:40:38.520 --> 00:40:41.520
us money. Those shares right now, according to
989
00:40:41.520 --> 00:40:44.360
my data here, worth about $122 million at
990
00:40:44.360 --> 00:40:47.480
the close yesterday. You know, if there's a
991
00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:49.740
shortfall when it comes time for me or
992
00:40:49.740 --> 00:40:52.760
some of my peers to retire, then it's
993
00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:54.620
made up for by the government. That's how
994
00:40:54.620 --> 00:40:56.980
defined benefit works. So whether or not they're
995
00:40:56.980 --> 00:40:58.780
successful in their investing journey, I know you're
996
00:40:58.780 --> 00:41:00.120
shaking your head, that's the way it is.
997
00:41:00.120 --> 00:41:01.340
Whether or not they're successful in their investing
998
00:41:01.340 --> 00:41:03.200
journey makes no difference on whether or not,
999
00:41:03.200 --> 00:41:04.540
you know, the pension gets paid out, sad
1000
00:41:04.540 --> 00:41:06.600
but true. What Joe is saying is those
1001
00:41:06.600 --> 00:41:08.860
of us that are not, yeah, yeah, those
1002
00:41:08.860 --> 00:41:10.240
of us that are not part of the
1003
00:41:10.240 --> 00:41:11.940
government will be making sure that the government
1004
00:41:11.940 --> 00:41:14.040
employees still have their pension, even if they
1005
00:41:14.040 --> 00:41:15.820
completely fuck up on all their investment choices.
1006
00:41:15.820 --> 00:41:18.260
Yeah, it's pretty wild. And, and like, the
1007
00:41:18.260 --> 00:41:20.280
other sort of, like, interesting thing is that
1008
00:41:20.280 --> 00:41:24.180
the CPP's, um, their next quarter of reporting
1009
00:41:24.180 --> 00:41:30.660
will probably have this move plus whatever downturn
1010
00:41:30.660 --> 00:41:33.080
they take from the MSCID listing. So we'll
1011
00:41:33.080 --> 00:41:34.520
see what happens to them. As far as
1012
00:41:34.520 --> 00:41:37.300
the active equities branch of the CPP IB,
1013
00:41:37.300 --> 00:41:38.640
try and stay with me on the acronyms
1014
00:41:38.640 --> 00:41:41.640
here, sorry, on the CPP IB, the sort
1015
00:41:41.640 --> 00:41:45.780
of country's pension plan, that active equities portfolio
1016
00:41:45.780 --> 00:41:47.760
has been a disaster. I think we talked
1017
00:41:47.760 --> 00:41:50.680
about it a bit on this show. And
1018
00:41:50.680 --> 00:41:52.620
I'll just refer people to my channel. I
1019
00:41:52.620 --> 00:41:54.680
did a video with millennial moron who's like
1020
00:41:54.680 --> 00:41:57.340
obsessed with the CPPIB in the best way.
1021
00:41:57.340 --> 00:42:00.000
And we had this long conversation about how
1022
00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:03.920
not only is the CPPI be completely incompetent
1023
00:42:03.920 --> 00:42:05.920
in terms of like market returns, they actually
1024
00:42:05.920 --> 00:42:07.960
refuse to benchmark their own returns. So for
1025
00:42:07.960 --> 00:42:10.460
new listeners, you would imagine that a pension
1026
00:42:10.460 --> 00:42:14.920
fund who was doing active equity picks would
1027
00:42:14.920 --> 00:42:17.900
try and find a reasonable benchmark against which
1028
00:42:17.900 --> 00:42:20.680
to compare themselves, their performance. That reasonable benchmark
1029
00:42:20.680 --> 00:42:23.300
should be the S &P 500. These guys
1030
00:42:23.300 --> 00:42:25.100
actually came up with their own benchmark instead
1031
00:42:25.100 --> 00:42:26.740
that was much lower and still didn't fucking
1032
00:42:26.740 --> 00:42:28.300
meet it for a long, long time. I
1033
00:42:28.300 --> 00:42:29.600
don't think they've ever actually met it, to
1034
00:42:29.600 --> 00:42:30.820
be honest with you. Don't quote me on
1035
00:42:30.820 --> 00:42:33.240
that. At the same time, they were doing
1036
00:42:33.240 --> 00:42:37.680
this. The active equities branch opened offices in
1037
00:42:37.680 --> 00:42:40.300
Singapore, the United States. They opened offices in
1038
00:42:40.300 --> 00:42:42.260
Europe, all sorts of places. You can imagine
1039
00:42:42.260 --> 00:42:44.500
the mahogany tables these guys were buying, you
1040
00:42:44.500 --> 00:42:46.260
know, performing at half of what the S
1041
00:42:46.260 --> 00:42:48.200
&P was performing at and telling people that
1042
00:42:48.200 --> 00:42:49.660
they were getting close to their benchmark. even
1043
00:42:49.660 --> 00:42:53.620
better, the executives for that branch of the
1044
00:42:53.620 --> 00:42:58.460
CPPIB were evaluating their own performance against a
1045
00:42:58.460 --> 00:43:02.480
rolling average of, you know, backwards looking data
1046
00:43:02.480 --> 00:43:05.280
about the equities they'd been picking, and then
1047
00:43:05.280 --> 00:43:08.040
going back and changing the benchmark in the
1048
00:43:08.040 --> 00:43:09.720
years that it already passed to match the
1049
00:43:09.720 --> 00:43:13.140
current benchmark, which started to include this year,
1050
00:43:13.140 --> 00:43:14.740
not that it matters now, but starting to
1051
00:43:14.740 --> 00:43:17.540
include this year, whether or not their board
1052
00:43:17.540 --> 00:43:19.660
thought they made the best decision, giving the
1053
00:43:19.660 -->
00:43:21.840
information available at the time. I don't know
1054
00:43:21.840 --> 00:43:24.000
about you, but to me, that sounds like
1055
00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:26.380
a bit of a scam, my opinion. In
1056
00:43:26.380 --> 00:43:28.180
terms of the, in terms of the -
1057
00:43:28.180 --> 00:43:29.020
Joy, let me just jump in there for
1058
00:43:29.020 --> 00:43:30.520
a quick second. Don't lose that thought because
1059
00:43:30.520 --> 00:43:32.480
I pulled the numbers, and they're worse than
1060
00:43:32.480 --> 00:43:35.160
you paint. So for year end, March 31st,
1061
00:43:35.160 --> 00:43:39.180
2026, the return was 7 .8 net. Their
1062
00:43:39.180 --> 00:43:42.240
own benchmark was 13 .2, and the S
1063
00:43:42.240 --> 00:43:45.780
&P 500 was 17 .8. Yeah, okay. So
1064
00:43:45.780 --> 00:43:48.080
it's, S &P is 22%. 10 %. 10
1065
00:43:48.080 --> 00:43:51.460
% off the S &P. It's actually nuts.
1066
00:43:51.460 --> 00:43:53.780
And the CPP's like the mandate for the
1067
00:43:53.780 --> 00:43:55.580
fund, according to the CEO, I'm going to
1068
00:43:55.580 --> 00:43:57.280
quote them. Our mandate is to maximize return
1069
00:43:57.280 --> 00:43:59.840
without undue risk of loss. Well, I mean,
1070
00:43:59.840 --> 00:44:01.860
it depends on how you view loss. To
1071
00:44:01.860 --> 00:44:03.620
me and to most investors, you would view
1072
00:44:03.620 --> 00:44:05.920
loss as opportunity costs. And this is exactly
1073
00:44:05.920 --> 00:44:10.680
what you're describing. The CPP guy has a
1074
00:44:10.680 --> 00:44:13.460
history with guess who, you know, which is
1075
00:44:13.460 --> 00:44:14.880
probably how he got into the seat. He's
1076
00:44:14.880 --> 00:44:15.940
been there for a while. So I don't
1077
00:44:15.940 --> 00:44:17.660
want to say he's a Carney hire. But
1078
00:44:17.660 --> 00:44:19.780
these guys are all sort of in cahoots
1079
00:44:19.780 --> 00:44:22.480
together. When you hear stuff about, by the
1080
00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:25.960
way, the Century Initiative here in Canada and
1081
00:44:25.960 --> 00:44:28.520
sort of driving GDP up, driving costs down
1082
00:44:28.520 --> 00:44:30.260
for Canadian companies, the reason you see that
1083
00:44:30.260 --> 00:44:32.180
is because the CPP has an unofficial mandate
1084
00:44:32.180 --> 00:44:34.220
to invest in Canadian businesses. And so it's
1085
00:44:34.220 --> 00:44:36.520
not official yet, but in the past, very
1086
00:44:36.520 --> 00:44:39.120
recent past, I should say, finance minister, Christopher
1087
00:44:39.120 --> 00:44:41.180
Freeland years ago, did make a push to
1088
00:44:41.180 --> 00:44:45.580
have CPP forced into Canadian equities as part
1089
00:44:45.580 --> 00:44:48.320
of its investment mandate to, I guess, you
1090
00:44:48.320 --> 00:44:51.000
know, unify the pension and, you know, align
1091
00:44:51.000 --> 00:44:52.740
incentives and stuff like that. But as we
1092
00:44:52.740 --> 00:44:54.480
know, in Bitcoin, you
can't really force that
1093
00:44:54.480 --> 00:44:56.580
kind of thing. It doesn't work. And what
1094
00:44:56.580 --> 00:45:00.040
do you get when you have capital that's
1095
00:45:00.040 --> 00:45:02.780
forced into your coffers? You get lack of
1096
00:45:02.780 --> 00:45:04.600
innovation. We've seen that in Canada, maybe more
1097
00:45:04.600 --> 00:45:06.140
than any other country in the world. I'm
1098
00:45:06.140 --> 00:45:07.820
sure there's European countries that, you know, would
1099
00:45:07.820 --> 00:45:09.380
argue with that. But we've got to be
1100
00:45:09.380 --> 00:45:11.040
near the top in terms of lack of
1101
00:45:11.040 --> 00:45:14.040
innovation, thanks to poor investing policy. So all
1102
00:45:14.040 --> 00:45:16.480
that to say, I'm not surprised by this,
1103
00:45:16.480 --> 00:45:19.100
but it's overdue. I do recommend watch that
1104
00:45:19.100 --> 00:45:20.560
video I did with Millennial Moron or just
1105
00:45:20.560 --> 00:45:22.060
go to Millennial Moron's channel. He talks about
1106
00:45:22.060 --> 00:45:24.280
this a lot and he goes deep on
1107
00:45:24.280 --> 00:45:26.020
some of the data. Maybe one of the
1108
00:45:26.020 --> 00:45:27.520
thing worth mentioning that I think I said
1109
00:45:27.520 --> 00:45:29.180
on this show a few months ago, the
1110
00:45:29.180 --> 00:45:31.780
CPP is, is or was, I don't know
1111
00:45:31.780 --> 00:45:35.420
if they finished, actively wiping the old benchmark
1112
00:45:35.420 --> 00:45:38.520
data from its website to make sure that
1113
00:45:38.520 --> 00:45:39.760
no one could see how bad the performance
1114
00:45:39.760 --> 00:45:41.480
was for a few years. So make it
1115
00:45:41.480 --> 00:45:42.580
that what you will. Sounds to me like
1116
00:45:42.580 --> 00:45:43.700
a kid who just got caught doing something
1117
00:45:43.700 --> 00:45:46.200
we should have been doing, right? Even Trump
1118
00:45:46.200 --> 00:45:48.580
left up the, we removed their nuclear capability.
1119
00:45:48.580 --> 00:45:50.960
from June of 2025 that nothing comes up.
1120
00:45:50.960 --> 00:45:52.300
Like, even he still left that up there.
1121
00:45:52.300 --> 00:45:53.500
It's like, I'm not going to race it.
1122
00:45:53.500 --> 00:45:54.700
It's out there. Let's get the planker on
1123
00:45:54.700 --> 00:45:55.940
that, man. Come on. You got to have
1124
00:45:55.940 --> 00:45:58.360
your bot looking at that stuff. Anything I've
1125
00:45:58.360 --> 00:45:59.580
done the last little while, maybe we should
1126
00:45:59.580 --> 00:46:01.800
pull down from the website. Let me know.
1127
00:46:01.800 --> 00:46:03.420
Let me know. No, it's all good. Walker,
1128
00:46:03.420 --> 00:46:04.600
any quick thoughts on that? Or do you
1129
00:46:04.600 --> 00:46:06.660
want to talk about helicopters and presidents from,
1130
00:46:06.660 --> 00:46:07.680
I just want to pull this up again,
1131
00:46:07.680 --> 00:46:08.900
too, because it just feels way too relevant
1132
00:46:08.900 --> 00:46:10.540
to what Joey just said. So just a
1133
00:46:10.540 --> 00:46:12.820
reminder there, government's buying in quadrant four. So
1134
00:46:12.820 --> 00:46:14.820
Walker, do you want helicopters? You want to
1135
00:46:14.820 --> 00:46:16.480
take a stab at at Sailor and the
1136
00:46:16.480 --> 00:46:20.040
CBP? Oh, man, I don't know. I don't
1137
00:46:20.040 --> 00:46:22.680
like to pontificate on you, you Canadians too
1138
00:46:22.680 --> 00:46:25.520
much. It just gets too sad. You Canadians
1139
00:46:25.520 --> 00:46:27.520
are great, but, you know, you make me
1140
00:46:27.520 --> 00:46:29.100
feel good about the government we have. I'll
1141
00:46:29.100 --> 00:46:31.420
put it that way, you know, and that's,
1142
00:46:31.420 --> 00:46:35.000
that's definitely. That's an accomplishment. It is interesting
1143
00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:36.500
on the, maybe just a note on the
1144
00:46:36.500 --> 00:46:40.760
sailor being removed from the index thing, well,
1145
00:46:40.760 --> 00:46:44.480
not him, you know, strategy. That does really
1146
00:46:44.480 --> 00:46:47.220
feel like this weird prejudice that exists there.
1147
00:46:47.220 --> 00:46:49.340
which is just kind of like outdated. Like,
1148
00:46:49.340 --> 00:46:51.780
you'd think the sort of the black rock
1149
00:46:51.780 --> 00:46:54.780
stamp of approval on Bitcoin would have moved
1150
00:46:54.780 --> 00:46:56.760
that needle more. And I'm sure there's a
1151
00:46:56.760 --> 00:47:00.060
lot of, like, machinations happening behind the scenes
1152
00:47:00.060 --> 00:47:01.660
around all of this. I don't know. But
1153
00:47:01.660 --> 00:47:05.140
it feels like it's just, like, weirdly, this,
1154
00:47:05.140 --> 00:47:08.260
like, vestige of this old, this old idea
1155
00:47:08.260 --> 00:47:10.480
that Bitcoin is not this legitimate asset. And
1156
00:47:10.480 --> 00:47:12.500
so that any company that would, you know,
1157
00:47:12.500 --> 00:47:13.960
be so insane as to make it a
1158
00:47:13.960 --> 00:47:16.420
core part of their financial engineering should not
1159
00:47:16.420 --> 00:47:18.500
even be consistent. considered for this. I don't
1160
00:47:18.500 --> 00:47:21.240
know. I'm curious who's who's making that, who's
1161
00:47:21.240 --> 00:47:22.900
making that call, what kind of pressures they
1162
00:47:22.900 --> 00:47:23.700
have on them. I don't know if you
1163
00:47:23.700 --> 00:47:24.880
guys have any thoughts on that. But to
1164
00:47:24.880 --> 00:47:26.320
me, it just seems, it's, it still just
1165
00:47:26.320 --> 00:47:28.900
feels so weirdly targeted. You know what, I
1166
00:47:28.900 --> 00:47:31.780
actually, it, I will agree with you, even
1167
00:47:31.780 --> 00:47:33.300
though we're talking strategy. I will, I will
1168
00:47:33.300 --> 00:47:34.980
agree with you because I had a conversation
1169
00:47:34.980 --> 00:47:37.280
today for a podcast coming out next week
1170
00:47:37.280 --> 00:47:40.200
with someone. I'll just leave it that. And
1171
00:47:40.200 --> 00:47:41.500
he actually shared some things. He's never shared
1172
00:47:41.500 --> 00:47:44.260
publicly before, but it was specifically referring to
1173
00:47:44.260 --> 00:47:47.500
Al Salvador, um, with regards to pressure to
1174
00:47:47.500 --> 00:47:49.980
prevent Bitcoin from being in these positions. And
1175
00:47:49.980 --> 00:47:52.840
it was actually some kind of threatening moments
1176
00:47:52.840 --> 00:47:54.320
that is like, no, no, you're with the
1177
00:47:54.320 --> 00:47:55.740
dollar system is still in trench. We're playing
1178
00:47:55.740 --> 00:47:57.280
by the old rules. That's not necessarily going
1179
00:47:57.280 --> 00:47:59.460
to happen. So, Walker, I agree that there
1180
00:47:59.460 --> 00:48:01.080
definitely could be a prejudice towards. I think
1181
00:48:01.080 --> 00:48:02.660
the dollar system still is trying to defend
1182
00:48:02.660 --> 00:48:04.740
itself. And this could be another example of
1183
00:48:04.740 --> 00:48:06.520
that. But Ben, maybe you want to pull.
1184
00:48:06.520 --> 00:48:07.900
Wait, wait, wait a minute, wait a minute.
1185
00:48:07.900 --> 00:48:10.980
If you look at, I'm with Walker to
1186
00:48:10.980 --> 00:48:12.100
a point, but if you look at the
1187
00:48:12.100 --> 00:48:13.420
other stuff they took out today, I think
1188
00:48:13.420 --> 00:48:14.700
we talked about this maybe on a Friday
1189
00:48:14.700 --> 00:48:16.260
show Walker. Yeah, it's the rainier as well.
1190
00:48:16.260 --> 00:48:18.440
Yeah. Yeah, it's like they're looking to take
1191
00:48:18.440 --> 00:48:21.420
out basically any holding company. And so the
1192
00:48:21.420 --> 00:48:24.880
question is, like, this is why, and Walker,
1193
00:48:24.880 --> 00:48:26.220
I don't know. But they're an operating business,
1194
00:48:26.220 --> 00:48:27.960
too. Like, that's the thing that, you know.
1195
00:48:27.960 --> 00:48:29.060
The thing is, I agree with you. The
1196
00:48:29.060 --> 00:48:31.020
thing is, like, I think Saylor realizes that
1197
00:48:31.020 --> 00:48:32.980
whatever operating business he has is no longer
1198
00:48:32.980 --> 00:48:37.440
sufficient for certain, like, for certain inclusion, like,
1199
00:48:37.440 --> 00:48:39.560
whatever, gating. And so I wonder, you probably
1200
00:48:39.560 --> 00:48:40.920
saw that thing the other day. Walker, where
1201
00:48:40.920 --> 00:48:42.060
he's like, you know, we're going to build
1202
00:48:42.060 --> 00:48:44.480
a Bitcoin bank or something like that. Like,
1203
00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:46.460
is he, is he thinking about this now,
1204
00:48:46.460 --> 00:48:49.080
you think? with the financial vehicles he's got,
1205
00:48:49.080 --> 00:48:51.020
the dividends and all that, it seems to
1206
00:48:51.020 --> 00:48:52.460
me like whether I agree or not that
1207
00:48:52.460 --> 00:48:54.700
his operating business should qualify
him, I think
1208
00:48:54.700 --> 00:48:56.960
that it should, personally. I look at some
1209
00:48:56.960 --> 00:48:57.900
of the other businesses here. Of course, you're
1210
00:48:57.900 --> 00:48:59.260
a bag holder. Well, this is, well, the
1211
00:48:59.260 --> 00:49:00.860
thing is that there's other operating businesses that
1212
00:49:00.860 --> 00:49:04.180
were removed today that really are far superior
1213
00:49:04.180 --> 00:49:06.680
and far outweigh the operating business in terms
1214
00:49:06.680 --> 00:49:09.100
of like percentage of income or percentage of
1215
00:49:09.100 --> 00:49:12.840
relevance, including fucking Nissan. So, like, if you
1216
00:49:12.840 --> 00:49:15.400
can pull Nissan out, then you can, yeah,
1217
00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:16.180
so you can, yeah, so you can, why?
1218
00:49:16.180 --> 00:49:18.680
I don't know. They made cars. I've seen
1219
00:49:18.680 --> 00:49:20.840
them. I can't, I couldn't tell you why.
1220
00:49:20.840 --> 00:49:22.260
So they're out. And along with a handful
1221
00:49:22.260 --> 00:49:24.740
of other companies, like lithium group, new energy.
1222
00:49:24.740 --> 00:49:26.240
There's a bunch of these Chinese and Asian
1223
00:49:26.240 --> 00:49:28.040
market groups that were pulled out today. and
1224
00:49:28.040 --> 00:49:29.960
some of the MacDIS holding companies for other
1225
00:49:29.960 --> 00:49:33.020
stuff and don't make any bones about it.
1226
00:49:33.020 --> 00:49:34.680
Sailor, I think, is trying to look at
1227
00:49:34.680 --> 00:49:36.120
these guys in the eye and say, if
1228
00:49:36.120 --> 00:49:38.100
this business isn't enough, I'm going to start
1229
00:49:38.100 --> 00:49:40.560
another one, and another one, and another one
1230
00:49:40.560 --> 00:49:42.000
on the back of this ticker symbol, and
1231
00:49:42.000 --> 00:49:42.880
you're going to have no choice but to
1232
00:49:42.880 --> 00:49:44.380
include me. I don't know, Walker. Do you
1233
00:49:44.380 --> 00:49:45.520
ever look at that? What do you think?
1234
00:49:45.520 --> 00:49:48.560
I mean, I think that this is not
1235
00:49:48.560 --> 00:49:51.700
Sailor or Strategy's final form, you know, to
1236
00:49:51.700 --> 00:49:55.560
borrow a little Dragon Ball Z reference there.
1237
00:49:55.560 --> 00:49:57.360
I think that it's very clear. Like, if
1238
00:49:57.360 --> 00:50:01.880
you, I don't understand people who fade Sailor.
1239
00:50:01.880 --> 00:50:03.000
Joey, I get it. It was part of
1240
00:50:03.000 --> 00:50:04.320
his K -fabe. He was just trying to
1241
00:50:04.320 --> 00:50:06.280
keep the price suppressive, and he could pump
1242
00:50:06.280 --> 00:50:08.780
his bag more. I get it. And as
1243
00:50:08.780 --> 00:50:11.840
we've learned, influencers have total control over everything,
1244
00:50:11.840 --> 00:50:13.140
including. It can fucking work. Let me tell
1245
00:50:13.140 --> 00:50:16.360
you. Influencers run the world, apparently. And certainly
1246
00:50:16.360 --> 00:50:19.100
control Bitcoin, because we're all sponsored by big
1247
00:50:19.100 --> 00:50:22.460
Bitcoin, obviously. They haven't paid yet, which I
1248
00:50:22.460 --> 00:50:24.240
should follow up. Yeah, I'm still waiting for
1249
00:50:24.240 --> 00:50:26.960
that check. They insist on Fiat. I'm waiting
1250
00:50:26.960 --> 00:50:29.300
for that wire transfer to land. Still waiting
1251
00:50:29.300 --> 00:50:30.940
for it. But I would just say quickly,
1252
00:50:30.940 --> 00:50:34.540
I mean, I think that Sailor thinks very,
1253
00:50:34.540 --> 00:50:37.260
very long term. You listen to him speak,
1254
00:50:37.260 --> 00:50:39.480
and that becomes very, yeah, there we go.
1255
00:50:39.480 --> 00:50:42.500
It becomes very clear. I think that he's
1256
00:50:42.500 --> 00:50:48.420
an incredibly intelligent guy. who sees around a
1257
00:50:48.420 --> 00:50:50.360
lot of different corners and is thinking about
1258
00:50:50.360 --> 00:50:51.880
a lot of different things at once. Like,
1259
00:50:51.880 --> 00:50:54.360
if you've had any conversations with him, if
1260
00:50:54.360 --> 00:50:55.460
you've been lucky enough to do that, you
1261
00:50:55.460 --> 00:50:58.200
realize very quickly that his brain is running
1262
00:50:58.200 --> 00:51:00.620
like so many more parallel processes than yours
1263
00:51:00.620 --> 00:51:04.000
is. And you feel like a bit stupid.
1264
00:51:04.000 --> 00:51:05.780
In like a good way, though, in like
1265
00:51:05.780 --> 00:51:06.920
a way where you're like, oh, wow, that's
1266
00:51:06.920 --> 00:51:08.800
like, that's one of the smartest people I've
1267
00:51:08.800 --> 00:51:11.100
ever met in my life. And I think
1268
00:51:11.100 --> 00:51:13.760
anybody who has spoken with him would probably
1269
00:51:13.760 --> 00:51:16.640
agree with that statement. I think that he
1270
00:51:16.640 --> 00:51:22.300
is very much going to position himself for
1271
00:51:22.300 --> 00:51:26.160
the hyper -bitcoinized future whenever that comes. And
1272
00:51:26.160 --> 00:51:28.320
if that means being a, quote, Bitcoin bank,
1273
00:51:28.320 --> 00:51:30.460
I mean, you already see, like, he's already
1274
00:51:30.460 --> 00:51:33.300
trying to offer instruments. Like, that's what STRC
1275
00:51:33.300 --> 00:51:35.160
is, right? It's an instrument that gives people
1276
00:51:35.160 --> 00:51:38.380
something that is better than their dollars sitting
1277
00:51:38.380 --> 00:51:40.120
in a bank account with J .P. Morgan
1278
00:51:40.120 --> 00:51:43.920
Chase earning, you know, fractions of fractions of
1279
00:51:43.920 --> 00:51:46.280
a penny on the dollar. So, yeah, I
1280
00:51:46.280 --> 00:51:48.000
think that he is probably positioning for something
1281
00:51:48.000 --> 00:51:50.820
like that, or maybe something super fucking cool
1282
00:51:50.820 --> 00:51:52.740
that we haven't even imagined yet, Joey. Something
1283
00:51:52.740 --> 00:51:56.020
wild, but yeah. What
do you think? I
1284
00:51:56.020 --> 00:51:58.500
will give you, have you thought about maybe
1285
00:51:58.500 --> 00:52:03.180
like low -income mortgages? Because I don't think
1286
00:52:03.180 --> 00:52:06.100
he's stupid. No, that'd be something a stupid
1287
00:52:06.100 --> 00:52:07.980
person would do. And I don't think he's
1288
00:52:07.980 --> 00:52:10.640
stupid. He'll leave that to the stupid people
1289
00:52:10.640 --> 00:52:12.660
in the government, I think. Well, walk up
1290
00:52:12.660 --> 00:52:14.100
to your point. I think the changing of
1291
00:52:14.100 --> 00:52:16.920
micro -stratory. to strategy was a transition brand
1292
00:52:16.920 --> 00:52:18.940
and that he's got something he's eyeing on
1293
00:52:18.940 --> 00:52:22.720
the horizon for sure. Ben? Yeah. I'm going
1294
00:52:22.720 --> 00:52:25.200
to completely pivot us. Speaking of things on
1295
00:52:25.200 --> 00:52:29.720
the horizon. Yeah. Speaking of bombing people. Nice.
1296
00:52:29.720 --> 00:52:31.700
Nice. Okay, I got to tee this up
1297
00:52:31.700 --> 00:52:36.440
with the initial tweet that began this. So
1298
00:52:36.440 --> 00:52:42.840
basically, Naive Bukele, president of El Salvador, he
1299
00:52:42.840 --> 00:52:45.240
took to Twitter to basically, to basically get
1300
00:52:45.240 --> 00:52:49.140
them to docks locations of the guys that
1301
00:52:49.140 --> 00:52:53.440
had the gang leaders that were hiding in
1302
00:52:53.440 --> 00:52:57.720
Haiti, is that correct? But this, the tweet
1303
00:52:57.720 --> 00:53:00.460
that he's quoting has now since been removed
1304
00:53:00.460 --> 00:53:03.680
because it was in violation of exas policies.
1305
00:53:03.680 --> 00:53:05.460
But he said, where is that house? Give
1306
00:53:05.460 --> 00:53:08.140
us the exact address. We're going to destroy
1307
00:53:08.140 --> 00:53:12.320
it. Yeah. So, and then here we are
1308
00:53:12.320 --> 00:53:17.280
with the friggin helicopter. taken off and finding
1309
00:53:17.280 --> 00:53:21.320
the house and just blasting it into oblivion.
1310
00:53:21.320 --> 00:53:27.680
Like, he literally, he basically crowdsourced finding gang
1311
00:53:27.680 --> 00:53:30.740
leaders on the internet. And then people went
1312
00:53:30.740 --> 00:53:33.560
and docks them and he blew them up.
1313
00:53:33.560 --> 00:53:36.980
So, I mean, what a time to be
1314
00:53:36.980 --> 00:53:40.980
alive, guys. How do we feel about this?
1315
00:53:40.980 --> 00:53:44.220
El Salvador is already in the first. turning
1316
00:53:44.220 --> 00:53:46.900
like that that that's what i think is
1317
00:53:46.900 --> 00:53:48.720
how it is oh that is i think
1318
00:53:48.720 --> 00:53:50.960
i think the first turning is here it's
1319
00:53:50.960 --> 00:53:53.240
just not evenly distributed yet and i think
1320
00:53:53.240 --> 00:53:56.080
also el salvador has already begun the regeneration
1321
00:53:56.080 --> 00:53:59.480
of anicyclosis which is the strong man the
1322
00:53:59.480 --> 00:54:01.180
monarch and no i'm not saying he's a
1323
00:54:01.180 --> 00:54:02.480
king nor that they should make him a
1324
00:54:02.480 --> 00:54:04.920
king guys but that is what you have
1325
00:54:04.920 --> 00:54:06.760
to do you need a strong man to
1326
00:54:06.760 --> 00:54:10.740
pull any nation out of the throes of
1327
00:54:10.740 --> 00:54:12.720
mob rule yeah and i swear i mean
1328
00:54:12.720 --> 00:54:14.020
i've got i've got i've got so many
1329
00:54:14.020 --> 00:54:15.560
the clankers got so many things queued up
1330
00:54:15.560 --> 00:54:16.520
but i had to fix a bunch of
1331
00:54:16.520 --> 00:54:18.380
stupid shit it screwed up in the videos
1332
00:54:18.380 --> 00:54:19.800
so don't worry guys i'll be releasing more
1333
00:54:19.800 --> 00:54:21.940
stuff soon but that's what i think's happening
1334
00:54:21.940 --> 00:54:23.580
and i think it's unpalatable to a lot
1335
00:54:23.580 --> 00:54:27.580
of people but i don't see i still
1336
00:54:27.580 --> 00:54:30.600
failed to see how el salvador could have
1337
00:54:30.600 --> 00:54:31.920
gotten from where it was to where it
1338
00:54:31.920 --> 00:54:35.460
is now without one man deciding to make
1339
00:54:35.460 --> 00:54:39.380
really difficult choices and actually fucking doing it
1340
00:54:39.380 --> 00:54:42.300
yeah i like that theory i like the
1341
00:54:42.300 --> 00:54:45.720
uh first turning theory Now it's not all
1342
00:54:45.720 --> 00:54:47.680
roses and everything. Obviously, there's going to be
1343
00:54:47.680 --> 00:54:50.120
problems and there's going to be, you know,
1344
00:54:50.120 --> 00:54:52.320
hard decisions to be made and everything. But
1345
00:54:52.320 --> 00:54:57.920
it has been quite the turnaround. You know,
1346
00:54:57.920 --> 00:55:00.920
there's been cost in that as well. And,
1347
00:55:00.920 --> 00:55:03.260
you know, whether people like the cost and
1348
00:55:03.260 --> 00:55:07.320
the tradeoff or not is is very dependent
1349
00:55:07.320 --> 00:55:11.820
on who you're talking to. Nonetheless, you know,
1350
00:55:11.820 --> 00:55:13.760
directionally, the rest of the world is, you
1351
00:55:13.760 --> 00:55:16.820
know, headed in the opposite direction still, it
1352
00:55:16.820 --> 00:55:20.100
would seem. So nonetheless, gents, we are going
1353
00:55:20.100 --> 00:55:21.640
to go to break. On the other side
1354
00:55:21.640 --> 00:55:23.540
of the break, I wanted to touch on
1355
00:55:23.540 --> 00:55:27.340
first off, the vulnerability, the iOS vulnerability that
1356
00:55:27.340 --> 00:55:31.820
apparently allows malicious apps to just take any
1357
00:55:31.820 --> 00:55:37.000
credentials, files locally. It's basically a zero day.
1358
00:55:37.000 --> 00:55:40.500
And this can include your Bitcoin wallets and
1359
00:55:40.500 --> 00:55:43.580
your keys. So we'll talk about what is
1360
00:55:43.580 --> 00:55:46.360
a fact. and what you should do. Wonderful.
1361
00:55:46.360 --> 00:55:50.900
Yeah. Also, on the other side, there's like
1362
00:55:50.900 --> 00:55:53.060
a million other vulnerabilities to talk about across
1363
00:55:53.060 --> 00:55:55.780
different things, of course, as per usual, every
1364
00:55:55.780 --> 00:56:00.580
episode that we've done since August. But on
1365
00:56:00.580 --> 00:56:03.560
the bright side of things, there's also some
1366
00:56:03.560 --> 00:56:06.440
good Bitcoin news when it comes to using
1367
00:56:06.440 --> 00:56:09.180
Bitcoin day -to -day as payment at brick
1368
00:56:09.180 --> 00:56:12.800
-and -mortar stores, which is not a frequent
1369
00:56:12.800 --> 00:56:16.000
thing we hear. here, but I gotta give
1370
00:56:16.000 --> 00:56:18.460
a tip of the hat to Mr. Jack
1371
00:56:18.460 --> 00:56:20.640
Dorsey, and we'll be talking about that on
1372
00:56:20.640 --> 00:56:21.780
the other side of the break, too. So
1373
00:56:21.780 --> 00:56:23.880
drop a like, give a share, toss some
1374
00:56:23.880 --> 00:56:25.240
shares in the chat. We'll see you guys
1375
00:56:25.240 --> 00:56:28.340
in just a moment. Unless for some reason
1376
00:56:28.340 --> 00:56:29.900
you think they're about to stop printing and
1377
00:56:29.900 --> 00:56:32.060
stop borrowing, you know exactly where Bitcoin is
1378
00:56:32.060 --> 00:56:33.480
going. And whether your stack is already at
1379
00:56:33.480 --> 00:56:34.580
the size, where you know you should do
1380
00:56:34.580 --> 00:56:36.080
something about it, or it's headed there, it's
1381
00:56:36.080 --> 00:56:37.940
time your security caught up. That's why you
1382
00:56:37.940 --> 00:56:40.820
need CASA premium. Your Bitcoin secured across five
1383
00:56:40.820 --> 00:56:43.160
keys. Three on hardware from different vendors, one
1384
00:56:43.160 --> 00:56:43.780
on your phone, and one on your phone.
1385
00:56:43.780 --> 00:56:45.840
one held by CASA. Use any three to
1386
00:56:45.840 --> 00:56:47.300
sign, which means if you lose one key,
1387
00:56:47.300 --> 00:56:49.080
you don't lose your stack. It also means
1388
00:56:49.080 --> 00:56:50.940
that CASA can't move it without you. The
1389
00:56:50.940 --> 00:56:52.420
kit, devices and everything that goes with it,
1390
00:56:52.420 --> 00:56:53.780
ships right to your door, and their advisory
1391
00:56:53.780 --> 00:56:55.680
team walks you through the full setup. And
1392
00:56:55.680 --> 00:56:57.000
for those you who care about privacy as
1393
00:56:57.000 --> 00:56:58.620
much as I do, there's no KYC on
1394
00:56:58.620 --> 00:57:00.200
the vault. Use any email you like, use
1395
00:57:00.200 --> 00:57:01.700
any address you like. No one has to
1396
00:57:01.700 --> 00:57:03.520
know your personal details. I know what you're
1397
00:57:03.520 --> 00:57:04.920
thinking, what if something happens to CASA? What
1398
00:57:04.920 --> 00:57:06.900
about my family? Well, Sob and recover means
1399
00:57:06.900 --> 00:57:08.380
that you can always
rebuild using open source
1400
00:57:08.380 --> 00:57:10.640
tools like Sparrow. And as for your family,
1401
00:57:10.640 --> 00:57:12.180
CASA inheritance means you're not leaving them a
1402
00:57:12.180 --> 00:57:13.960
locked box with no key. You invite. them
1403
00:57:13.960 --> 00:57:15.520
with an email, their key lies dormant while
1404
00:57:15.520 --> 00:57:17.180
you're still alive, and should that day ever
1405
00:57:17.180 --> 00:57:18.600
come, you don't have to worry about them
1406
00:57:18.600 --> 00:57:19.860
having to figure it out when you're not
1407
00:57:19.860 --> 00:57:21.840
around to ask. You've already taken care of

or hitting the link down below. I did
1445
00:58:55.880 --> 00:58:58.060
find over the break. It appears that Kelly
1446
00:58:58.060 --> 00:59:00.320
is actually in Haiti now. I just wanted
1447
00:59:00.320 --> 00:59:01.340
to make sure I got that image up
1448
00:59:01.340 --> 00:59:02.620
there. This is why we can't have clean
1449
00:59:02.620 --> 00:59:07.280
water anymore. What peptides is he on? Ben?
1450
00:59:07.280 --> 00:59:09.320
I could probably tell you a stack. I
1451
00:59:09.320 --> 00:59:15.120
think it's Trent. Gents, breaking news before we
1452
00:59:15.120 --> 00:59:17.920
get into the iPhone thing, it would appear
1453
00:59:17.920 --> 00:59:26.660
that our everybody's current favorite CEO of NVIDIA,
1454
00:59:26.660 --> 00:59:33.180
he had another affair. No. Yeah. Oh, boys.
1455
00:59:33.180 --> 00:59:35.420
I like the second. The first reply is
1456
00:59:35.420 --> 00:59:40.020
an NVIDIA condom. But, yeah, it would. It
1457
00:59:40.020 --> 00:59:46.520
would appear that he was hammering another executive
1458
00:59:46.520 --> 00:59:49.860
and their stock is now getting hammered. Oh,
1459
00:59:49.860 --> 00:59:51.940
that's another big bag of mine. Walker, can
1460
00:59:51.940 --> 00:59:53.220
we share in that one or no? Another
1461
00:59:53.220 --> 00:59:55.820
4 % down. It's 8 % down right
1462
00:59:55.820 --> 00:59:57.940
now. Oh, is it? Oh, damn. I got
1463
00:59:57.940 --> 00:59:59.520
it on my wife. She's got to go
1464
00:59:59.520 --> 01:00:00.240
back full time. So this tweet was 10
1465
01:00:00.240 --> 01:00:05.540
minutes old. Oh, my God. Tenson. I guess
1466
01:00:05.540 --> 01:00:06.980
she's just in the long place at the
1467
01:00:06.980 --> 01:00:09.280
long time, right? I don't know. Yeah. Yeah.
1468
01:00:09.280 --> 01:00:11.920
Well. Yeah, not much else to say about
1469
01:00:11.920 --> 01:00:13.440
that. So I'm just going to move on.
1470
01:00:13.440 --> 01:00:17.140
But, uh, guys, sorry about that. Don't be
1471
01:00:17.140 --> 01:00:19.560
taken out by your dick. Just don't be
1472
01:00:19.560 --> 01:00:21.140
taken out by your dick. I don't know
1473
01:00:21.140 --> 01:00:22.500
why this is so hard to say. Like,
1474
01:00:22.500 --> 01:00:25.380
come on. Yeah, you're down 7 .62 %
1475
01:00:25.380 --> 01:00:28.420
now. Jeez. You know what's interesting about this
1476
01:00:28.420 --> 01:00:30.720
is that not to, not to say that
1477
01:00:30.720 --> 01:00:32.860
it's
related to this particular whatever, you know,
1478
01:00:32.860 --> 01:00:36.600
affair. But, uh, forward PE on Nvidia today,
1479
01:00:36.600 --> 01:00:38.940
high as has ever been. So no one
1480
01:00:38.940 --> 01:00:41.340
cared about the first. affair. Let's see if
1481
01:00:41.340 --> 01:00:42.720
they care about this one. I want to
1482
01:00:42.720 --> 01:00:44.300
see what these guys who are betting on
1483
01:00:44.300 --> 01:00:46.540
on price or earnings have to say, stock
1484
01:00:46.540 --> 01:00:49.320
price, whatever. What was the other thing about,
1485
01:00:49.320 --> 01:00:51.080
I saw something today, I didn't verify it.
1486
01:00:51.080 --> 01:00:52.300
I just saw it in passing about like
1487
01:00:52.300 --> 01:00:55.340
Jensen's kids, both are like being employed and
1488
01:00:55.340 --> 01:00:58.900
getting some really fat salaries. Are they? Like
1489
01:00:58.900 --> 01:01:02.060
as, Nathan, can you pull that up? Yep,
1490
01:01:02.060 --> 01:01:04.720
Jensen's children on it. Okay. Do I care
1491
01:01:04.720 --> 01:01:06.100
about that? Do I care about that? I
1492
01:01:06.100 --> 01:01:07.400
don't know. I don't know. They were getting
1493
01:01:07.400 --> 01:01:09.060
paid like a million a year from technical
1494
01:01:09.060 --> 01:01:12.020
people. But, you know, maybe, they're probably providing
1495
01:01:12.020 --> 01:01:15.360
value. And honestly, nepotism, like, if you're running
1496
01:01:15.360 --> 01:01:16.940
a company like that and you're not paying
1497
01:01:16.940 --> 01:01:18.540
your kids a million dollars that you're your
1498
01:01:18.540 --> 01:01:20.800
bad father, you're a bad father. Yeah, that's
1499
01:01:20.800 --> 01:01:23.420
- Plus, like, if you're Jensen won, like,
1500
01:01:23.420 --> 01:01:25.140
what are the odds of your kids? You
1501
01:01:25.140 --> 01:01:26.220
know, like, the four of us are all
1502
01:01:26.220 --> 01:01:27.740
pretty bright. What are the odds your kids
1503
01:01:27.740 --> 01:01:29.060
are not going to be bright? You expect
1504
01:01:29.060 --> 01:01:30.600
your kids to be able to work at
1505
01:01:30.600 --> 01:01:32.840
a competent level in the business. You are
1506
01:01:32.840 --> 01:01:34.980
the founder. You know how the IQ, a
1507
01:01:34.980 --> 01:01:37.680
rich, powerful person had stupid kids. No, shit.
1508
01:01:37.680 --> 01:01:40.460
No, no, no. But it's the, it's because
1509
01:01:40.460 --> 01:01:42.420
you know what it is? Guys, find a
1510
01:01:42.420 --> 01:01:43.420
good woman. I got to get together with
1511
01:01:43.420 --> 01:01:45.200
the relationship, right? Find a good woman. Pick
1512
01:01:45.200 --> 01:01:47.660
her for personality, long run, your partner, and
1513
01:01:47.660 --> 01:01:48.940
intelligence. Because what it is is, is you
1514
01:01:48.940 --> 01:01:50.780
have brilliant men like this at the top
1515
01:01:50.780 --> 01:01:52.780
of a company who's built all this wealth,
1516
01:01:52.780 --> 01:01:54.520
and he goes with the hot chick that
1517
01:01:54.520 --> 01:01:56.860
maybe has room temperature IQ. And we just
1518
01:01:56.860 --> 01:01:58.160
go right back to the mean. We're just
1519
01:01:58.160 --> 01:02:00.040
reverting right back to the mean. Do yourself
1520
01:02:00.040 --> 01:02:01.880
a favor. Do your kids a favor. Get
1521
01:02:01.880 --> 01:02:03.740
married to a smart woman so they can
1522
01:02:03.740 --> 01:02:06.020
actually handle the legacy you pass down to
1523
01:02:06.020 --> 01:02:08.340
them. And don't stick it in Chinese spies.
1524
01:02:08.340 --> 01:02:09.220
I don't know how it's a system. When
1525
01:02:09.220 --> 01:02:12.480
you invariably have Rollo Tamasi on this channel,
1526
01:02:12.480 --> 01:02:13.440
and now that you've gone down to like
1527
01:02:13.440 --> 01:02:16.800
relationship realism rabbit hole, I just want to,
1528
01:02:16.800 --> 01:02:18.180
I just want to be invited to the
1529
01:02:18.180 --> 01:02:19.540
interview, okay? I just want to be on
1530
01:02:19.540 --> 01:02:21.700
the panel. By the way, their salaries are
1531
01:02:21.700 --> 01:02:25.100
two, sorry, 1 .232 million and 1 .32
1532
01:02:25.100 --> 01:02:28.900
million. Oh, that's all. Senior director and product
1533
01:02:28.900 --> 01:02:31.760
management director. Which one got the short end
1534
01:02:31.760 --> 01:02:33.400
of the stick on that deal? Who got
1535
01:02:33.400 --> 01:02:38.380
cut, who got chopped by 100K? Surprisingly enough.
1536
01:02:38.380 --> 01:02:39.680
Well, I don't know. I don't know age
1537
01:02:39.680 --> 01:02:43.880
difference here, but it's the lady. Okay. So,
1538
01:02:43.880 --> 01:02:47.460
there's sexism in the workplace, too. Nepotism and
1539
01:02:47.460 --> 01:02:49.940
sexism. That leads to his problems. He doesn't
1540
01:02:49.940 --> 01:02:51.660
need the isom. They have problems. He's just
1541
01:02:51.660 --> 01:02:53.360
got the sex already. He's already in hot
1542
01:02:53.360 --> 01:02:56.480
water. Yeah, yeah. All right, gents. I got
1543
01:02:56.480 --> 01:02:59.400
to bring up the, uh, something kind of
1544
01:02:59.400 --> 01:03:01.720
cool. Actually, I quite like this. So, uh,
1545
01:03:01.720 --> 01:03:04.980
square Bitcoin is now on by default at
1546
01:03:04.980 --> 01:03:07.400
all square checkouts across the U .S. So
1547
01:03:07.400 --> 01:03:09.280
everywhere, um, there's, um, there's. There's just a
1548
01:03:09.280 --> 01:03:11.020
little Bitcoin button in the top, right? So
1549
01:03:11.020 --> 01:03:14.020
sellers don't have to apply. Square switched it
1550
01:03:14.020 --> 01:03:16.680
on for every eligible business, whether the owner
1551
01:03:16.680 --> 01:03:19.460
has ever thought about Bitcoin or not. The
1552
01:03:19.460 --> 01:03:21.920
customer scans a QR with any lightning wallet
1553
01:03:21.920 --> 01:03:24.240
and the payment settles in seconds. The seller
1554
01:03:24.240 --> 01:03:27.740
gets dollars by
default, or can choose to
1555
01:03:27.740 --> 01:03:30.960
keep the Bitcoin and there's no chargebacks. Sellers
1556
01:03:30.960 --> 01:03:33.620
can also auto convert up to 50 %
1557
01:03:33.620 --> 01:03:37.040
of their daily card sales into Bitcoin. Limits
1558
01:03:37.040 --> 01:03:42.000
$600 max. max per payment, just on a
1559
01:03:42.000 --> 01:03:45.640
POS terminal, 20 grand a day, end sellers
1560
01:03:45.640 --> 01:03:47.260
in New York are left out, because of
1561
01:03:47.260 --> 01:03:50.580
course they are, thanks, Ben Loski. The fee
1562
01:03:50.580 --> 01:03:52.780
is 0 % through December 31st and a
1563
01:03:52.780 --> 01:03:56.480
flat 1 % afterwards. A card tap on
1564
01:03:56.480 --> 01:03:59.580
Squares, free plan, cost the merchant 2 .6
1565
01:03:59.580 --> 01:04:03.520
% plus 15%. So still compelling even with
1566
01:04:03.520 --> 01:04:06.500
the 1 % fee. So that's pretty cool.
1567
01:04:06.500 --> 01:04:08.640
Ben, I'm going to just hijack things for
1568
01:04:08.640 --> 01:04:09.780
a second. and jump in and I promise
1569
01:04:09.780 --> 01:04:11.340
I'll bring it back to block, but I
1570
01:04:11.340 --> 01:04:12.820
had to throw this in because this isn't
1571
01:04:12.820 --> 01:04:15.060
sailor at Joey's request here, but just in
1572
01:04:15.060 --> 01:04:18.820
the Vidia prepares to fire CEO Jensen. Oh,
1573
01:04:18.820 --> 01:04:21.880
Wall Street Journal reports four minutes ago. Also,
1574
01:04:21.880 --> 01:04:24.100
just to add to it, so the interview
1575
01:04:24.100 --> 01:04:26.420
that I'm releasing is with John Perkins and
1576
01:04:26.420 --> 01:04:27.900
Simon Dixon. And the only reason I bring
1577
01:04:27.900 --> 01:04:29.980
that up is because within the interview, Simon
1578
01:04:29.980 --> 01:04:31.480
was laying out the case that because he
1579
01:04:31.480 --> 01:04:33.960
doesn't have controlling shares and votes at Navigna,
1580
01:04:33.960 --> 01:04:36.260
that he thinks that Jensen was targeted and
1581
01:04:36.260 --> 01:04:38.640
then there was basically a regime change at
1582
01:04:38.640 --> 01:04:40.880
Naviq. done on purpose was kind of one
1583
01:04:40.880 --> 01:04:42.160
of the theories that he was laying out
1584
01:04:42.160 --> 01:04:44.600
there, which to have that conversation today and
1585
01:04:44.600 --> 01:04:47.320
then have him get fired later, just unbelievable.
1586
01:04:47.320 --> 01:04:48.840
Sorry, I had to get that in there.
1587
01:04:48.840 --> 01:04:50.000
Rolling it back to the conversation that we're
1588
01:04:50.000 --> 01:04:51.080
talking about. I'm sure you guys might want
1589
01:04:51.080 --> 01:04:52.320
to hit on that as well, though. I
1590
01:04:52.320 --> 01:04:54.100
will just say if Jack Dorsey happens to
1591
01:04:54.100 --> 01:04:55.300
be listening, because I know that he watches
1592
01:04:55.300 --> 01:04:56.520
the show, because we're the best looking in
1593
01:04:56.520 --> 01:04:58.880
the smartest podcast out there, that I forgive
1594
01:04:58.880 --> 01:05:01.380
you for Twitter. Don't stop. Keep going. But
1595
01:05:01.380 --> 01:05:03.160
you are forgiven. Your redemption arc is still
1596
01:05:03.160 --> 01:05:04.660
one of my favorite stories, and this is
1597
01:05:04.660 --> 01:05:07.900
fantastic to see. Yeah, damn, that's good. So
1598
01:05:07.900 --> 01:05:09.400
when is that episode drop? by the way
1599
01:05:09.400 --> 01:05:11.620
because I'm planning on dropping it on Tuesday.
1600
01:05:11.620 --> 01:05:12.520
I think it'll be I'll have it all
1601
01:05:12.520 --> 01:05:14.540
buttoned up for Tuesday. All right, all right.
1602
01:05:14.540 --> 01:05:15.760
You're pulling it all night or tonight is
1603
01:05:15.760 --> 01:05:17.600
what Ben's about to tell you. I gotta
1604
01:05:17.600 --> 01:05:19.140
get the editor to tell me with that
1605
01:05:19.140 --> 01:05:21.700
one too. We might have to. Yeah, you
1606
01:05:21.700 --> 01:05:23.540
got to throw that like right at the
1607
01:05:23.540 --> 01:05:27.160
front. Yeah. If that's talk about topical man.
1608
01:05:27.160 --> 01:05:29.020
Fuck it. It's it's, you know, not to
1609
01:05:29.020 --> 01:05:31.060
drag the show back to in video, but
1610
01:05:31.060 --> 01:05:34.100
the problem, well, it's just huge because if
1611
01:05:34.100 --> 01:05:35.920
you look at podcast now, it may as
1612
01:05:35.920 --> 01:05:38.220
well be. It's the thing about the guys
1613
01:05:38.220 --> 01:05:40.800
like Jensen and Saylor, like if, if Jensen
1614
01:05:40.800 --> 01:05:44.020
leaves Nvidia, especially under these circumstances, what's he
1615
01:05:44.020 --> 01:05:46.560
gonna do next? Like, you can't start a
1616
01:05:46.560 --> 01:05:50.620
rival chip company. Maybe you go to like
1617
01:05:50.620 --> 01:05:54.460
AI, I guess, somewhere, but like you don't,
1618
01:05:54.460 --> 01:05:57.980
I don't know. I don't know. I don't
1619
01:05:57.980 --> 01:05:59.560
know. It's, it's so weird to think of
1620
01:05:59.560 --> 01:06:00.900
this guy doing anything. His sister runs the
1621
01:06:00.900 --> 01:06:05.580
next biggest chip manufacturer, doesn't she? Really? Yeah.
1622
01:06:05.580 --> 01:06:06.580
Fuck, I didn't know that. Was he going
1623
01:06:06.580 --> 01:06:11.820
to, who was that AMD? AMD, yeah. Is
1624
01:06:11.820 --> 01:06:14.220
that true? You never thought in the fucking
1625
01:06:14.220 --> 01:06:15.700
two weeks we've been talking about this to
1626
01:06:15.700 --> 01:06:18.120
bring this up? I was just trying out
1627
01:06:18.120 --> 01:06:22.260
on important information. Is that true? I don't
1628
01:06:22.260 --> 01:06:24.160
think I've been part of the, I literally
1629
01:06:24.160 --> 01:06:26.020
just saw an interview of, I'm, it might
1630
01:06:26.020 --> 01:06:27.440
not be sister, but it's some sort of
1631
01:06:27.440 --> 01:06:33.640
close relation is the head of AMD. Interesting.
1632
01:06:33.640 --> 01:06:36.200
He's
married to Lori. Jensen Wong is married
1633
01:06:36.200 --> 01:06:39.460
to Lori Noree Wong named Mills. His prominent
1634
01:06:39.460 --> 01:06:42.920
tech industry relative is Lisa Sue, his first
1635
01:06:42.920 --> 01:06:44.540
cousin once removed. She's a C. and B
1636
01:06:44.540 --> 01:06:46.980
president, CEO, and chair. Yeah. No one thinks
1637
01:06:46.980 --> 01:06:49.580
that's fucking weird. Where's that fucking story? That
1638
01:06:49.580 --> 01:06:54.380
is real interesting. That's very fucking weird. What?
1639
01:06:54.380 --> 01:06:58.640
Yeah. Huh. Uh, like, we didn't talk about,
1640
01:06:58.640 --> 01:06:59.380
or at the end of the show, we
1641
01:06:59.380 --> 01:07:01.380
didn't talk about that at all. Talk about
1642
01:07:01.380 --> 01:07:07.980
dark operation here. Holy shit. I mean, I
1643
01:07:07.980 --> 01:07:10.580
mean, that's almost worth fucking calling somebody about
1644
01:07:10.580 --> 01:07:13.280
and doing an interview tonight. Like, how does,
1645
01:07:13.280 --> 01:07:15.680
how did, I haven't seen that anywhere. I
1646
01:07:15.680 --> 01:07:18.720
haven't seen that at all. Anywhere. Wow. Can
1647
01:07:18.720 --> 01:07:20.220
the chat, please let us know. Did anybody
1648
01:07:20.220 --> 01:07:21.680
in the chat know this? Did any of
1649
01:07:21.680 --> 01:07:24.080
you guys know this? Jensen was on a
1650
01:07:24.080 --> 01:07:27.120
podcast and got asked about it. Really? And
1651
01:07:27.120 --> 01:07:28.720
he was like, yeah, you know, where, and
1652
01:07:28.720 --> 01:07:31.260
then it was like, oh, your cousin or
1653
01:07:31.260 --> 01:07:34.760
whatever is your top competitor. and he's, ah,
1654
01:07:34.760 --> 01:07:38.840
competitors. No, we're, you know, like, partners in
1655
01:07:38.840 --> 01:07:41.560
the same realm or, I can't remember how
1656
01:07:41.560 --> 01:07:45.400
we're We're all selling to the Chinese. Yeah.
1657
01:07:45.400 --> 01:08:33.960
You know. Holy shit. Yeah. Between the one
1658
01:08:33.960 --> 01:08:37.080
family.! put money into that one. Like, that's,
1659
01:08:37.080 --> 01:08:41.920
I don't know, man. That's all very interesting.
1660
01:08:41.920 --> 01:08:44.860
Very interesting. Wow. Well, both companies designed the
1661
01:08:44.860 --> 01:08:48.380
chips, but they're manufactured by TSMC. Yeah, that's
1662
01:08:48.380 --> 01:08:50.820
normal. And that's Jensen's brother -in -law, right?
1663
01:08:50.820 --> 01:08:55.620
Or something probably. Intel's building fab in America,
1664
01:08:55.620 --> 01:08:57.340
right? That was part of the, I think,
1665
01:08:57.340 --> 01:08:58.800
I think that was in Texas, they're planning
1666
01:08:58.800 --> 01:08:59.840
on doing that. I don't know if that's
1667
01:08:59.840 --> 01:09:01.460
still going to happen now, but. I believe
1668
01:09:01.460 --> 01:09:03.780
so. And I thought that Navidia was supposed
1669
01:09:03.780 --> 01:09:05.780
to be. setting up American manufacturing as well,
1670
01:09:05.780 --> 01:09:07.440
but I could be mistaken on that. Man,
1671
01:09:07.440 --> 01:09:11.680
oh man, man. Man, oh man. Why? Sorry,
1672
01:09:11.680 --> 01:09:14.540
honey. Can't, can't help tonight. Can't talk to
1673
01:09:14.540 --> 01:09:17.440
the podcast about this. Here we go. This
1674
01:09:17.440 --> 01:09:19.120
is a sci -of - shit. I feel
1675
01:09:19.120 --> 01:09:21.680
you. That's exactly it. How many times can
1676
01:09:21.680 --> 01:09:24.520
be talking about stuff on the show? Yeah.
1677
01:09:24.520 --> 01:09:26.560
Yeah, you know. And we never have a
1678
01:09:26.560 --> 01:09:29.140
reaction like that. Like, what is fucking cousin
1679
01:09:29.140 --> 01:09:30.760
runs the other company? I legit thought you
1680
01:09:30.760 --> 01:09:32.600
guys knew. No. I thought there was just
1681
01:09:32.600 --> 01:09:37.320
a, oh. No, in fact. Holy fuck. Next
1682
01:09:37.320 --> 01:09:40.160
time I'll be a little bit more. Ben,
1683
01:09:40.160 --> 01:09:41.640
tweet it out. Get some good engagement for
1684
01:09:41.640 --> 01:09:44.260
that one. Oh, shit. You would do numbers
1685
01:09:44.260 --> 01:09:47.360
there, man. Oh, my God. My Lord, apparently
1686
01:09:47.360 --> 01:09:49.540
there's no other family besides the kids and
1687
01:09:49.540 --> 01:09:51.820
the wife and the CEO. So that might
1688
01:09:51.820 --> 01:09:53.880
be the end of this, this little conglomerate
1689
01:09:53.880 --> 01:09:56.800
there. But, my lord. His college roommate or
1690
01:09:56.800 --> 01:09:58.460
something. Like, is that what, there's something. No,
1691
01:09:58.460 --> 01:10:00.100
that's Cratter. That's Cratter. That's Cratter. Do you're
1692
01:10:00.100 --> 01:10:01.880
thinking of something else. Sorry, please. Oh, okay.
1693
01:10:01.880 --> 01:10:04.920
Okay. Amazing. Okay, Jets, we do have to
1694
01:10:04.920 --> 01:10:09.320
touch on this iOS vulnerability. Although, unfortunately, it
1695
01:10:09.320 --> 01:10:11.000
doesn't look like there's much to do despite
1696
01:10:11.000 --> 01:10:14.780
this tweet from Binance here. Vulnerability affecting iOS
1697
01:10:14.780 --> 01:10:19.760
26 .7 .1, 27 .0 .1, and 27
1698
01:10:19.760 --> 01:10:22.520
.2 allows malicious apps to read local files
1699
01:10:22.520 --> 01:10:26.400
from other apps, putting seed phrases, private keys,
1700
01:10:26.400 --> 01:10:29.300
and login credentials at risk across the entire
1701
01:10:29.300 --> 01:10:32.860
ecosystem. This is an iOS -level issue, not
1702
01:10:32.860 --> 01:10:37.140
unique to Binance. They went on to advise
1703
01:10:37.140 --> 01:10:40.800
immediate action, delete any apps installed from untrusted
1704
01:10:40.800 --> 01:10:43.600
sources, so on and so forth, update iOS
1705
01:10:43.600 --> 01:10:46.040
and all apps to the latest official versions.
1706
01:10:46.040 --> 01:10:48.000
If you suspect a breach, transfer funds to
1707
01:10:48.000 --> 01:10:50.960
a new wallet, so and so
forth. However,
1708
01:10:50.960 --> 01:10:54.020
readers added context. Binance recommends updating iOS to
1709
01:10:54.020 --> 01:10:57.920
the latest versions, but researchers describe it as
1710
01:10:57.920 --> 01:11:01.960
an unpatched zero day and Apple's iOS 27
1711
01:11:01.960 --> 01:11:05.640
.2 .1 notes omit any such fix. So
1712
01:11:05.640 --> 01:11:08.120
this is eventually still out in the wild
1713
01:11:08.120 --> 01:11:11.260
there. So there's not really anything that you
1714
01:11:11.260 --> 01:11:15.820
can really do other than just making sure
1715
01:11:15.820 --> 01:11:19.120
you don't have man. This is the MVP
1716
01:11:19.120 --> 01:11:21.120
playbook. You just had a big hack and
1717
01:11:21.120 --> 01:11:22.700
you're telling other people to watch their own
1718
01:11:22.700 --> 01:11:24.200
shit. Like, come on, bro. Give me a
1719
01:11:24.200 --> 01:11:28.160
break. Yeah. Save it. Save it. This is
1720
01:11:28.160 --> 01:11:31.120
my clanker wife, guys, Carla Botcoin, executing the
1721
01:11:31.120 --> 01:11:32.700
Zero Day. I'm sorry. We only share on
1722
01:11:32.700 --> 01:11:35.000
the Internet. This is the result. True. I'm
1723
01:11:35.000 --> 01:11:40.280
so sorry. Thank you for taking responsibility. You're
1724
01:11:40.280 --> 01:11:43.540
welcome. And I'll just quickly rattle off all
1725
01:11:43.540 --> 01:11:46.580
other bullshit that happened. Google just patched its
1726
01:11:46.580 --> 01:11:49.120
eighth zero -day exploit this year found in
1727
01:11:49.120 --> 01:11:53.900
Chrome. Update, again, ASAP. LNBits, security update, version
1728
01:11:53.900 --> 01:11:57.580
1 .7 .0 is now released. urgent security
1729
01:11:57.580 --> 01:12:02.000
update. All LMBits users should update immediately. Beyond
1730
01:12:02.000 --> 01:12:04.860
that, Bitcoin Core did have a high severity
1731
01:12:04.860 --> 01:12:08.700
advisory. This is from yesterday. However, it looks
1732
01:12:08.700 --> 01:12:12.600
like, unless you're a minor, it's not a
1733
01:12:12.600 --> 01:12:17.840
big concern. It might bork your node or
1734
01:12:17.840 --> 01:12:20.920
your Mempool, rather. But it wouldn't put any
1735
01:12:20.920 --> 01:12:23.260
funds at risk or anything. It might cause
1736
01:12:23.260 --> 01:12:26.920
you need to restart. Besides that, Outlook bug
1737
01:12:26.920 --> 01:12:30.300
can let them log in as you, the
1738
01:12:30.300 --> 01:12:32.560
attackers, that is. All it takes is opening
1739
01:12:32.560 --> 01:12:38.720
a booby -trapped message file. Beyond that, Apple,
1740
01:12:38.720 --> 01:12:41.560
this was yesterday widespread outages across multiple I
1741
01:12:41.560 --> 01:12:45.680
-Cloud services, including mail, photos, find my device,
1742
01:12:45.680 --> 01:12:49.100
all that stuff, since resolved. And the last
1743
01:12:49.100 --> 01:12:54.640
thing I'll mention totally separately from that. because
1744
01:12:54.640 --> 01:12:56.680
I'm just going to show really quick here.
1745
01:12:56.680 --> 01:13:01.980
Just dropped a tutorial today. Did a super
1746
01:13:01.980 --> 01:13:04.680
in -depth video on the Safe 7. So
1747
01:13:04.680 --> 01:13:05.940
I went through the basics, but then I
1748
01:13:05.940 --> 01:13:10.380
also explored every possible advance feature, multi -share
1749
01:13:10.380 --> 01:13:14.320
backups, connecting your node, coin control, all that
1750
01:13:14.320 --> 01:13:17.220
stuff, multi -vender, multi -sig. So if you
1751
01:13:17.220 --> 01:13:19.120
are, if you've got one of these devices
1752
01:13:19.120 --> 01:13:21.460
already, or if you're looking at it and
1753
01:13:21.460 --> 01:13:22.780
you just want to be kind of zero
1754
01:13:22.780 --> 01:13:25.940
to hero, as for you. And then I'm
1755
01:13:25.940 --> 01:13:29.180
working on... I like the tropical background. Thank
1756
01:13:29.180 --> 01:13:31.800
you. I was going to find you the
1757
01:13:31.800 --> 01:13:34.140
thumbnail he rejected. I was like, oh, I
1758
01:13:34.140 --> 01:13:35.540
can't take the other one. Okay, fine. Please
1759
01:13:35.540 --> 01:13:36.940
continue. I'm looking for it. Oh, no, no,
1760
01:13:36.940 --> 01:13:38.160
no. I just thought it was nice. Yeah.
1761
01:13:38.160 --> 01:13:39.880
We did this one. This was the one
1762
01:13:39.880 --> 01:13:42.800
that you did there. Hold on. I'll get
1763
01:13:42.800 --> 01:13:44.620
it over to the side. That one's pretty
1764
01:13:44.620 --> 01:13:47.140
good. Oh, but my wife liked the other
1765
01:13:47.140 --> 01:13:49.200
one that I made the most. Oh, yeah,
1766
01:13:49.200 --> 01:13:51.100
the hero image that you made. That was
1767
01:13:51.100 --> 01:13:54.780
good, too. Yeah. Plus, always fantastic. Always tons
1768
01:13:54.780 --> 01:13:56.920
of, and you guys should probably in the
1769
01:13:56.920 --> 01:13:58.740
chat, you should always take a peek at
1770
01:13:58.740 --> 01:14:02.040
the thumbnails because more than once Nathan has
1771
01:14:02.040 --> 01:14:05.660
taken usernames from the chat and put Easter
1772
01:14:05.660 --> 01:14:09.700
eggs on the thumbnails to the tutorials. I
1773
01:14:09.700 --> 01:14:13.260
believe BS Tech has been in there. Fluffy
1774
01:14:13.260 --> 01:14:15.500
was in one, I think with them. I
1775
01:14:15.500 --> 01:14:17.580
think that was the BitChat one. Anyways, you
1776
01:14:17.580 --> 01:14:20.520
guys are featured in there sometimes. So always
1777
01:14:20.520 --> 01:14:22.160
take a quick little peek for any Easter
1778
01:14:22.160 --> 01:14:24.900
eggs. The only live stream is doing that,
1779
01:14:24.900 --> 01:14:26.680
by the way. Good luck for getting that
1780
01:14:26.680 --> 01:14:29.740
kind of action from another live stream. Camp
1781
01:14:29.740 --> 01:14:31.760
straight. And if you are getting that kind
1782
01:14:31.760 --> 01:14:33.380
of action from another live stream, you'll probably
1783
01:14:33.380 --> 01:14:35.100
get fired from your job.
Probably a Chinese
1784
01:14:35.100 --> 01:14:36.680
live stream. You know what I mean? Yeah,
1785
01:14:36.680 --> 01:14:37.580
I think so. You're getting that kind of
1786
01:14:37.580 --> 01:14:40.860
action. I got, and I also digged around
1787
01:14:40.860 --> 01:14:43.320
with this is coming out on on Friday,
1788
01:14:43.320 --> 01:14:47.280
but Ubiqis. Nice. A shame to say I
1789
01:14:47.280 --> 01:14:49.500
had not played with UBKees before. This is
1790
01:14:49.500 --> 01:14:51.460
a first for me. Can you just show
1791
01:14:51.460 --> 01:14:53.300
Ubiqis real quick? Because, like, I feel like
1792
01:14:53.300 --> 01:14:55.500
not enough people are using those. Totally. You
1793
01:14:55.500 --> 01:14:57.400
need to have a UBKee set up for
1794
01:14:57.400 --> 01:14:59.580
any primary email address you are using. While
1795
01:14:59.580 --> 01:15:01.720
you're doing that, because everybody kept talking about
1796
01:15:01.720 --> 01:15:03.120
Ocarena of Time and I don't have a
1797
01:15:03.120 --> 01:15:04.340
switch too. I'm just going to put this
1798
01:15:04.340 --> 01:15:05.500
up here. This is the other thumbnail I
1799
01:15:05.500 --> 01:15:06.660
made for Ben, so I just want to
1800
01:15:06.660 --> 01:15:09.820
have that one to show. So good. Nathan
1801
01:15:09.820 --> 01:15:13.840
has started giving me outfits. I love this.
1802
01:15:13.840 --> 01:15:16.480
Oh, funny. Wow. How did this one get
1803
01:15:16.480 --> 01:15:20.080
rejected? Right? No, it's, it's. Carl and I
1804
01:15:20.080 --> 01:15:22.640
started playing O 'Creen of Time. It's. That's
1805
01:15:22.640 --> 01:15:24.140
what we're doing tonight. Me and Lisa, we're
1806
01:15:24.140 --> 01:15:25.400
going to download. That's what Carl and I
1807
01:15:25.400 --> 01:15:27.940
are doing tonight, too. Wow. Nice. Nice. I'm
1808
01:15:27.940 --> 01:15:30.660
legitimately. Are we a livestream it? We should
1809
01:15:30.660 --> 01:15:34.360
just do a video call and play it.
1810
01:15:34.360 --> 01:15:35.940
I'm not going to play it well. I'm
1811
01:15:35.940 --> 01:15:37.620
not great at video games, but I like
1812
01:15:37.620 --> 01:15:40.080
them anyways. So we'll do that. Talk, Ubike.
1813
01:15:40.080 --> 01:15:43.800
Yeah, nonetheless, Ubike. Honestly, I hadn't taken into
1814
01:15:43.800 --> 01:15:47.020
account the various scenarios and how it actually
1815
01:15:47.020 --> 01:15:49.900
protects you, because basically the way it works
1816
01:15:49.900 --> 01:15:52.920
is you set up, you know, however many
1817
01:15:52.920 --> 01:15:57.180
devices per login, but it's your two factor.
1818
01:15:57.180 --> 01:15:58.840
And so you plug it in, you type
1819
01:15:58.840 --> 01:16:00.320
in a pin, and then you tap the
1820
01:16:00.320 --> 01:16:03.160
button to approve the two factor. You need
1821
01:16:03.160 --> 01:16:06.020
the physical device to approve the login if
1822
01:16:06.020 --> 01:16:09.160
it's required. And so what this does is
1823
01:16:09.160 --> 01:16:14.580
if your, obviously, if your password is compromised
1824
01:16:14.580 --> 01:16:16.180
in a leak or something like that, they
1825
01:16:16.180 --> 01:16:18.100
don't have the two factor, so you're safe.
1826
01:16:18.100 --> 01:16:21.120
But when you think about the other options,
1827
01:16:21.120 --> 01:16:23.080
the other things that commonly happen where people
1828
01:16:23.080 --> 01:16:27.140
do get got would be phishing scams either
1829
01:16:27.140 --> 01:16:30.640
through like actual people reaching out and calling
1830
01:16:30.640 --> 01:16:33.020
you or whatever and tricking you into giving
1831
01:16:33.020 --> 01:16:38.120
information or malicious fake websites. You're safe with
1832
01:16:38.120 --> 01:16:40.440
this too, and I'll explain why. It's because
1833
01:16:40.440 --> 01:16:43.820
in with other forms of 2FA, it's typical,
1834
01:16:43.820 --> 01:16:46.600
typically like a recycled code or something like
1835
01:16:46.600 --> 01:16:49.740
that or it's a notification. And so somebody
1836
01:16:49.740 --> 01:16:51.100
will call you and say, hey, this is
1837
01:16:51.100 --> 01:16:54.360
Google. your account just got logged in in
1838
01:16:54.360 --> 01:16:56.700
India, should we lock down your account? You
1839
01:16:56.700 --> 01:16:58.320
say, oh, my God, yes. And they say,
1840
01:16:58.320 --> 01:16:59.420
okay, well, cool, we're going to send a
1841
01:16:59.420 --> 01:17:01.100
notification or we're going to send a code
1842
01:17:01.100 --> 01:17:03.060
or whatever. You either hit yes or read
1843
01:17:03.060 --> 01:17:04.980
us the code and we'll lock everything down.
1844
01:17:04.980 --> 01:17:07.780
What you're actually doing is unwittingly giving them
1845
01:17:07.780 --> 01:17:10.580
the credentials to log into your account. The
1846
01:17:10.580 --> 01:17:12.620
thing is with this, even if you want
1847
01:17:12.620 --> 01:17:15.260
to help them, you can't because you plug
1848
01:17:15.260 --> 01:17:17.680
it in on your computer and approve it.
1849
01:17:17.680 --> 01:17:20.600
They need it on their physical device to
1850
01:17:20.600 --> 01:17:23.100
approve the login. So you, unless they're sitting
1851
01:17:23.100 --> 01:17:25.240
beside you, they can't do it. And the
1852
01:17:25.240 --> 01:17:28.980
same applies to malicious websites. You go to
1853
01:17:28.980 --> 01:17:31.580
log in and it looks like the regular
1854
01:17:31.580 --> 01:17:33.960
website. So you type in your email and
1855
01:17:33.960 --> 01:17:36.620
password and it says, okay, 2FA, you plug
1856
01:17:36.620 --> 01:17:40.720
this in and the device doesn't recognize the
1857
01:17:40.720 --> 01:17:42.840
site. Even though it looks like the site,
1858
01:17:42.840 --> 01:17:46.380
this is tied specifically to the website. So
1859
01:17:46.380 --> 01:17:48.140
it goes, I don't have a credential for
1860
01:17:48.140 --> 01:17:50.540
this. So I can't unlock it for you.
1861
01:17:50.540
--> 01:17:52.100
And so it never gives the. credential. So
1862
01:17:52.100 --> 01:17:55.420
multiple reasons to start using this stuff for
1863
01:17:55.420 --> 01:17:58.340
your most sensitive accounts, I was pretty impressed
1864
01:17:58.340 --> 01:17:59.920
with it, to be honest. There are open
1865
01:17:59.920 --> 01:18:01.700
source alternatives as well. I'm going to play
1866
01:18:01.700 --> 01:18:03.680
with those two, but you be key, pretty
1867
01:18:03.680 --> 01:18:07.940
good. If it involves dice and a laboratory
1868
01:18:07.940 --> 01:18:10.700
grade scale, just don't do it. Also, good
1869
01:18:10.700 --> 01:18:14.380
best practice. Ben, you mentioned this, but like,
1870
01:18:14.380 --> 01:18:17.640
get multiple for a login. So I get
1871
01:18:17.640 --> 01:18:19.500
multiple and keep them in different locations. You
1872
01:18:19.500 --> 01:18:20.820
can have one that maybe you like keep,
1873
01:18:20.820 --> 01:18:23.340
you know, somewhat accessible than another one that's
1874
01:18:23.340 --> 01:18:25.340
like your backup one. Because you could also
1875
01:18:25.340 --> 01:18:27.720
like, it's like a Bitcoin private key, right?
1876
01:18:27.720 --> 01:18:30.160
Like you don't want to inadvertently lock yourself
1877
01:18:30.160 --> 01:18:33.560
out of this. It's like it's more responsibility,
1878
01:18:33.560 --> 01:18:35.360
but like you are not going to get
1879
01:18:35.360 --> 01:18:38.220
fished. Like, and I highly recommend people set
1880
01:18:38.220 --> 01:18:40.000
these up, not sponsored by Yuba key, but
1881
01:18:40.000 --> 01:18:41.840
maybe this show should be. It's a great
1882
01:18:41.840 --> 01:18:43.240
product. It's a great product. Yeah, it's pretty
1883
01:18:43.240 --> 01:18:44.960
good. It's pretty solid. And it works out
1884
01:18:44.960 --> 01:18:46.580
the box. You don't like no setup other
1885
01:18:46.580 --> 01:18:49.060
than setting a pin. That's it. Make sure
1886
01:18:49.060 --> 01:18:50.780
you buy them from, uh, from, from, uh,
1887
01:18:50.780 --> 01:18:54.520
from, No -name Chinese reseller, though. You know
1888
01:18:54.520 --> 01:18:57.160
what? The first thing I did on it,
1889
01:18:57.160 --> 01:18:59.500
because I asked on Twitter, I was like,
1890
01:18:59.500 --> 01:19:00.820
what do you guys think of Ubikis? Everybody
1891
01:19:00.820 --> 01:19:04.300
had so many goddamn opinions. Some people were,
1892
01:19:04.300 --> 01:19:06.080
one guy said his was tampered with, though,
1893
01:19:06.080 --> 01:19:07.940
when it arrived. And so then I looked
1894
01:19:07.940 --> 01:19:10.640
in and I was like, okay, well, you
1895
01:19:10.640 --> 01:19:12.640
know, can I check? There's a genuine check
1896
01:19:12.640 --> 01:19:14.080
website and you just plug it in and
1897
01:19:14.080 --> 01:19:17.040
it double checks that it's actually from Ubiqui
1898
01:19:17.040 --> 01:19:19.100
and it hasn't been screwed with. So that's
1899
01:19:19.100 --> 01:19:21.580
out there too. But nonetheless, gents, I'm going
1900
01:19:21.580 --> 01:19:24.120
to, I'm going to round it out here.
1901
01:19:24.120 --> 01:19:28.100
Nathan, any final thoughts, Joey Walker? No, nothing.
1902
01:19:28.100 --> 01:19:29.500
Go and check out the new tutorials. Maybe
1903
01:19:29.500 --> 01:19:31.340
check out of Ubiki. I love it. And
1904
01:19:31.340 --> 01:19:33.440
I just, I'm, I don't know, I'm going
1905
01:19:33.440 --> 01:19:34.820
to go away and think about Jensen more.
1906
01:19:34.820 --> 01:19:36.880
It's like, if he got fired, how far
1907
01:19:36.880 --> 01:19:39.160
have you fallen? That's my last reminder, guys.
1908
01:19:39.160 --> 01:19:41.220
You could lose a trillion dollar company by
1909
01:19:41.220 --> 01:19:43.420
sticking it in Chinese model. So stop that.
1910
01:19:43.420 --> 01:19:46.740
Stop it. Stick it in Kimmy K3 instead.
1911
01:19:46.740 --> 01:19:49.400
That's good advice. It's good advice. I'm, I
1912
01:19:49.400 --> 01:19:51.680
would. I was sticking in and Kimming earlier
1913
01:19:51.680 --> 01:19:54.620
today. I was, hey, I was doing a
1914
01:19:54.620 --> 01:19:58.880
maple tutorial, all right, guys. Anyways, we're going
1915
01:19:58.880 --> 01:20:01.640
to round out here. This was a blast.
1916
01:20:01.640 --> 01:20:03.720
Great seeing, everybody, as usual. Drop a like,
1917
01:20:03.720 --> 01:20:05.500
give a share. I'm Ben. This was Nathan
1918
01:20:05.500 --> 01:20:10.200
Walker and Joey, and this was Bitcast. Stop
1919
01:20:10.200 --> 01:20:13.540
for one second before you go. On February
1920
01:20:13.540 --> 01:20:15.780
4th through 7th, I will be headed down
1921
01:20:15.780 --> 01:20:19.160
to Miami Beach for the Sovereign Summit. You
1922
01:20:19.160 --> 01:20:21.220
know that. big banks are trying to control
1923
01:20:21.220 --> 01:20:23.020
your money, and you know that big tech
1924
01:20:23.020 --> 01:20:25.780
is now trying to control your AI. And
1925
01:20:25.780 --> 01:20:27.960
fighting back can feel lonely, but it won't
1926
01:20:27.960 --> 01:20:29.640
for this weekend. I'm going to be down
1927
01:20:29.640 --> 01:20:32.020
there giving a keynote and giving some workshops
1928
01:20:32.020 --> 01:20:34.680
so you can build your sovereign stack. This
1929
01:20:34.680 --> 01:20:36.760
is not a trade show. It is capped
1930
01:20:36.760 --> 01:20:39.400
at a thousand people, and it's all signal,
1931
01:20:39.400 --> 01:20:41.920
no noise. The price rises, the closer we

01:20:41.920 --> 01:20:43.480
get to the event, so grab your tickets
