Trump locks in a massive trade deal with
the EU that certainly puts America
first. Sydney Sweeny's Good Jeans
continues to burn through the entire
culture. Cy Booker blasts the Democrats
for bending Anita Trump. An 8.8
earthquake rocks Russia and a resulting
tsunami had people in Hawaii absolutely
scrambling. MIT student created a device
that lets you telepathically search
Google. that America is rapidly
re-emerging as a semiconductor techhub,
which is going to be critical for the
decade ahead. Drew, your thing on Corey
Booker is interesting. I did not have
this take watching Cy Booker. Uh, but
you have an interesting question. Why
don't we play the clip
>> and then let's talk about where we're
headed here.
>> I see law firms bending a knee to this
president, not caring about the larger
principles that those free speech rights
that you could take on any client. Why
are you bending the knee? I see
universities
that should be bastions of free speech
bending at the knee to this president. I
see businesses taking late night talk
show hosts off the air because they dare
to insult a president. I see people who
want mergers suddenly think that they
have to pay tribute to this president.
And what are the very people here
elected to defend the Constitution of
the United States saying, "Oh, well,
today let's look the other way and pass
some resources that won't go to
Connecticut, that won't go to Illinois,
that won't go to New York, that will go
to the states he likes."
That is complicity with an authoritarian
leader who is trashing our Constitution.
It's time for Democrats to have a
backbone. It's time for us to fight.
It's time for us to draw lines. And when
it comes to the safety of my state,
being denied these grants, that's why
I'm standing here. Don't question my
integrity. Don't question my motives.
I'm standing for Jersey. Is gridlock the
answer? And uh I think gridlock has
served America for a very long time.
I've been very pro gridlock. I've loved
the fact that our democracy, the way
that it works is we basically get this
tension between the two sides and we can
sort of stop each other from doing
anything really crazy. I think that it's
breaking down now that we're in a tribal
moment and there is no like
oh here's the thing that we all agree on
and those are the thing that gets move
forward the very second it's being
brought to you by the other side it's
the devil incarnate we could never do
that like we can't be seen as being on
their team people have called me a Trump
apologist or now calling you a Trump
apologist but you also get accused of
being uh a communist it's like it's
madness when I look at the comments on
my video which we'll talk about later
for the tax thing. It's like everybody
is trying to filter the world into
friend, not friend. I forget who it was.
Forgive me because it's someone who's in
the feed all the time. Uh and they were
like, "Wake up, Tom. Destiny is not your
friend." And I was like, "What does that
have to do with anything?"
>> So, it doesn't matter if Destiny is for
or against me, he is able to um help me
see the world from a radically different
point of view. And the fact that I can
sit down with him and have a civil
conversation and enjoy my time with him
>> like I don't that use that that is how
humans operate. That's how you get
something done is it does not need to be
somebody that you agree with top to
bottom. It doesn't need to be somebody
that you consider a friend, but you're
still looking at them going, "Is there
something here? Is there something high
utility? Can we be of benefit to each
other?" Reagan used to talk about this.
He's like, "We'll be on the Senate floor
and I'll be arguing with, you know,
whoever. or I forget who it was that he
had this relationship with, but we'll
argue like cats and dogs when we're on
the clock, but then we can go have a
drink. We can go have a meal. And that
sense of like, oh, this is a real
person. He's got a family. There's
people he loves. Like, he wants what he
believes is best for the country. We
just don't agree on how we're going to
get there. When you have that, when
people can break bread, when they can
come together, when they can say, "Okay,
we disagree on 80% of this stuff, but
these 20% like bipartisan, no problem,
because these are the values that we
stand for, that we agree on. Let's move
this forward." In a polarized populist
moment, all of that ceases to exist and
we are spiraling into madness. Now, the
reason I say that this brings in a
conversation about China is China does
not have that problem. Yeah,
>> Xi will literally kill anybody that
disagrees too much or he'll disappear
them or he'll kidnap them, he'll
re-educate them. And the question we're
going to have to answer is are we going
to try to out China, which would be a
mistake. You will lose like that is a
guarantee. I'm happy to do a full
episode if people want to talk about how
that is a guaranteed fail state or do
you find your way what I'll say is back
to an American identity. But we do not
have a shared American identity right
now and that is absolutely going to make
it impossible for us to move forward. So
I've been thinking a lot about okay like
what am I trying to do like what what is
the
why do I find myself so compelled to
engage in politics culture world affairs
and the answer is
much like
I was able to use social mobility to
completely change my life to change my
family's life all of that and I'm like
oh I want to make sure this is available
for other
So when you do it, it's like I mean I
guess some people have the impulse to
pull the ladder up. I do not have that
impulse. I'm like okay like let's make
sure that everybody has a shot at this.
Uh, and then when I was such a
beneficiary psychologically of the view
that people had of what America was back
in the 80s that it set me up to be
aggressive, to be entrepreneurial, to
um, realize I could have anything that I
wanted. I was going to have to pay a
price. There was no doubt about that.
But that like it just set me up in a way
to be so optimistic about my future. And
in being optimistic about my future, it
just became this guiding light for my
life. And I'm like, we have got to get
people back to that. So, I'm going to be
beating that drum. I'm going to give
people something that they can think
about that is pure execution. It is go
learn, understand, build a worldview
that is utility based. Figure out how to
deploy this. And right now, the Cy
Booker thing is the exact oppos all of
politics. This is not a Cy Booker
problem.
>> Uh Trump talks in the exact same way.
They all like the other side is evil.
But that that is going to make us lose
to China. So boys and girls, understand.
So I'm going up against Tim Sweeney.
Okay, that's the CEO of Epic Games. He
is a formidable opponent.
Do I want to win against him? Yes. But
do I trick myself into thinking that
he's a [ __ ] or that he's evil? No, I do
not. I go, what can I learn? Uh what is
he doing that I should be looking at and
emulating? where the missteps so that I
can like make space for myself.
>> Xi is that on steroids. People do not
understand there are consequences to
losing as a nation. There are
consequences and we have no sense of
that.
>> We think that oh like if China wins
what's the big deal? The big deal is
[ __ ] that they will all the
things that you're angry at America for
doing. Now imagine that you literally
that stuff you don't have to like hide
it or do it behind the scenes. That's
just your MO. [ __ ] get locked
in their apartment for 2 years or
whatever and you arrest them if they
open the door. You board their door up
like you do whatever you have. They're
staying in their apartment. So, I don't
think people understand if China wins
the AI race,
that is how you get a totalitarian
regime that you just can't get around
because the AI is just always there.
>> So, this is a highstakes game, man. And
people are playing like uh like the the
good times in America will last forever
and they will not.
>> Every time we see Corey Booker pop a
vein down in his neck. Oh, he's just a
lefty. He has TDS. This is the part that
like I don't we have to stop dismissing
people cuz your point time if there's a
Northstar if I want to get to the Wizard
of Oz the Emerald City, right? I might
not like the lion but the lion's going
to help me get from point A to point B.
I might not like the Tin Man. The Tin
Man's not my brother. I don't have to
get married to the Tin Man. the Tin Man
doesn't have to change the gender, but
like I I at least have to be with the
Tin Man for the You know what I mean?
Like, we lost this. Let's just get in
the car. I'll drive later, but at least
you'll take me to the bus stop.
>> Here's the thing, Drew. I am telling you
right now, uh I
the earliest realization I had in
business. So, imagine I know nothing
about business and but I really want to
be a filmmaker. And I become convinced I
have to get rich to become a filmmaker.
And so, I'm just in there every day. How
am I going to pull this off? How am I
going to do this? And I'm looking around
at everybody acting a fool. Like, if the
cats away, the mice will play. People
relaxing when the bosses were gone. And
I was just like, some people need to be
chased by a lion. Like, they have no
sense of like my life may not go where I
want it to go. And I had such a palpable
because it had already gone where I
didn't want it to go. I was at like the
film school of film schools. I was the
Harvard of film schools. I really
thought I was going to graduate into the
studio system and now it's going to be
that next Spielberg. It's it's a wrap.
And I graduated to selling insurance
doortodoor and not being able to pay my
bills at the same time. And I was like,
"Oh [ __ ] no cell phones, no YouTube,
like just different world. How the hell
am I going to break in?" And so I'm It
just became abundantly clear to me,
these people are not afraid. And because
they think everything is going to come
easy, they they are not going, I do this
thing and it has this outcome that
either is or isn't the outcome that I
want and I need to adjust.
But I didn't I didn't really understand
what I was on at that moment.
>> Now, whatever almost 30 years later
>> when
you almost can't like really fail.
>> Like imagine you can get like a I'm not
saying happens every day, but bro, you
can get like a fleece blanket if you're
homeless. Like you might be dirty, but
you still got a [ __ ] fleece blanket.
Uh you're in a city where you can just
lay a tent out. you can get a tent as a
homeless person. So when that's like
your worst worst worst, all of a sudden
it's people just they do not have the
clarity of thought to say we have a very
formidable opponent
>> that is focused. They're driven. They're
determined. And if we don't play to win,
and if we don't raise our kids to play
to win, we will lose.
>> And losing will have tremendous
consequences.
It's a problem.
>> This makes me want to jump into the
Sydney Sweeney thing because I thought
we were just talking about jeans. I
thought it was going to be a bunch of
titty jokes.
>> That's when I went down the rabbit hole.
>> I was going to say if you haven't gone
down the rabbit hole, it is wild the
number of people like legitimately cuz I
thought, okay, this is going to be
obscure where it's like you hear people
saying, oh, people are saying it's Nazi
propaganda, but then you can't find it.
>> Yeah, exactly.
>> This was like real after reel after reel
after real of people saying this is Nazi
propaganda.
actual Nazi propaganda. What? You got to
play the commercial.
>> Jeans are passed down from parents to
offspring, often determining traits like
hair color, personality, and even eye
color.
My jeans are blue.
>> Sydney Sweeney has chains.
>> There is a phenomenal Shakespeare quote.
There is nothing either good or bad, but
thinking makes it so.
>> Uh, you only see 0.00 0035% of the
electromagnetic spectrum. You think you
see everything you don't. Your brain is
shorthanding everything. And we live
inside of this simulation. The
simulation made by your brain. The
simulation requires narrative. You have
to explain the thing to yourself. And so
you're constantly telling yourself a
story about yourself. Now, I am here to
tell you right now as a PSA, your life,
the quality of your life will be
entirely dictated by the narrative you
tell yourself about yourself. That's it.
It's going to control everything.
Everything is downstream of what you
believe is possible. This is why I call
the only belief that matters the only
belief that matters. The only belief
that matters is if I put time and energy
into getting better at something, I will
actually get better. From that one
belief, everything else changes. Because
if you don't believe that, then you're
you're always on the back foot. Life is
about playing the hand of cards that you
were dealt. If you can get better, then
it's like, I can make a new game. I
could get a new hand of cards. I can do
whatever I want. and the the way that
your behaviors will cascade down from
that decision and it is a decision. That
decision that you make about which of
those two things is true uh is wild. Uh
there is a Einstein quote where he says
the most important decision any man will
ever make is whether he lives in a
friendly or a hostile universe. And what
I love is as he said it is a decision.
Now what they're all trying to get at is
it's a narrative. You're going to tell
yourself a story. We have started
telling ourselves a story about
Europeans, about white people, about
America that is all bad all the time
from top to bottom. And good luck
pointing to any culture where you are
not going to find horrors,
horrors upon horrors. What you will find
though are people that tell them an
empowering story about their culture and
people who tell themselves a
disempowering narrative about their
culture. And America is destroying
itself because we have allowed to take
hold a disempowering narrative. There's
just no way around that. But as Douglas
Murray pointed out, do you really want
to back white people into group
identity? Does that re like history
doesn't show you enough that that game
doesn't play out well? It is so dumb to
back groups into uh race-based
identities. Any group can do it. And
it's just as stupid when they do it. I'm
telling you, read about Xihinping. You
just see how this is like behind the
scenes. He's like, "Okay, we have to,
first of all, propaganda is a must.
Second, we have to tell a cultural
narrative." He doesn't say regardless of
truth, but that's his punchline.
Regardless of truth, that makes people
feel good about China. That makes them
understand that we are basically
heavenmandated to be the center of the
world. And when you raise kids believing
the Chinese are mandated by God to be
the center of the universe, that's a lot
more uplifting than raising kids telling
them you're evil. You've done bad things
throughout history. And like it's sort
of an original sin thing. It can't be
washed away. Sorry. Like
>> which of those two people is going to
grow up to do awesome [ __ ] If you
overcome the you're a bad person
narrative, it's because you finally just
go, I'm gonna lean into it.
>> Yeah.
>> I'm gonna go all the way. I'm gonna be
more like evil than the most evil so
that I can feel good about it. I'm uh I
am the one who knocks
>> to make a a reference to Breaking Bad.
>> You get that person, okay, that's no
fun. Or you get the person that's like,
damn, like I don't feel good. It's
somebody else's turn. And now you lose
entire crops of people who are not
pushing, trying to be better, who are
not trying to do the very thing that
evolution has set us up to do, which is
to see how far can we take our own
abilities.
And man, if people don't think that that
is going to have catastrophic
consequences, they are out of their
minds.
>> Uh, then it gets frustrating because
then you see the Calvin Klein ad from
the 80s and Brook Hills did the same
thing. So you can tell that this was a
reboot of an ad and people don't even
realize they're getting mad at a redone
ad. Like
>> the secret of life lies hidden in a
genetic code. Genes are fundamental in
determining the characteristics of an
individual and passing on these
characteristics to succeeding
generations. Occasionally certain
conditions produce a structural change
in the gene which will bring about the
process of evolution.
This may occur in one or more of the
following ways. Firstly, by selective
mating, in which a single gene type
proves superior.
>> And PS, here's okay, this admittedly has
issues in my mind because she's 15 when
she filmed this, but uh they're talking
about beauty. They're not talking about
race. You could put Beyonce in that ad.
Hey, she is beautiful.
What does it matter that she's not
white? This is about being attractive.
This is about Yeah, some people are more
beautiful than others. I hate to break
it to all of us, myself included. Uh but
that's just the way it goes. That is the
way it goes. But if we're going to tell
ourselves the narrative that we are bad
people for being white, this is not
going to play out well. This is really
stupid. Next topic, Drew,
>> Trump got another investment. Let's go
to Fox News and get the uh announcement.
So those things are 750 billion,
600 billion, opening up the country.
Uh we are agreeing that the tariff
straight across
for automobiles and everything else will
be a straight across tariff of 15%.
So we have a tariff of 15%.
We have the opening up of all of the
European countries which I think I could
say were essentially closed. I mean they
you weren't exactly taking our autos.
You weren't exactly taking our
agriculture and then you would have
smaller things but for the most part it
was closed and now it's open. It's open
for our companies to go in and do a good
job with it. I think you'll like them.
>> I think you'll like it. Um 15% across
the board. So that's UK EU down. We
talked about a deal with uh Japan. We
had some other deal for smaller Asian
countries. So, we're we're getting
through the bingo board, but the big
one, China, is still kind of missing. We
still haven't heard anything
>> until you lock in China, but EU is big.
So, um he's certainly, I think,
begrudgingly getting a lot of credit for
this one. He has basically opened the
entire EU market to us and gotten them
to wi with with virtually no tariffs
whatsoever and gotten them to agree to
paying tariffs on sending stuff to us.
>> So it I mean this one is very one-sided.
It's a pretty big win. So you can't
knock that. Now again the whole game is
China. So we shall see.
>> Uh and some people in the chat are so
curious as to why I'm obsessed with
China. And I have uh I have tried to
express myself over and over and over.
Sorry, Mike, if you feel like he's a
troll. People are saying I'm feeding the
trolls. We'll get back to the show in a
moment, but first, let's talk about what
I use personally to power up for our
morning live streams. Most protein
powders are made from cowhides using
harsh chemicals and extreme processing,
but Paleo Valley bone broth protein is
made from actual bones, the way it
should be. This is literally what I eat
right before we go live on the morning
live streams. One scoop gives you 13 g
of premium protein from 100% grass-fed
beef bones. No hides, no cheap fillers,
real bones. The collagen from bone broth
boosts your metabolism and supports gut
health, which means better digestion and
more sustained energy. Plus, it's
building supple skin with better
hydration from the inside out and
natural wrinkle defense. Right now,
Paleo Valley is running an insane deal.
buy 1 get one free on bone broth
protein. Make sure to click my link
below to get the buy 1 get one free deal
on the bone broth protein. And now let's
get back to the show.
>> Yeah, I see a lot of people are talking
about the increase in cost that this
will eventually lead to.
>> It could kind of grounded it when you we
talked about the VAT tax example and I
think that that is something that
>> well okay so let's look at the good and
the bad. So, the way that a VAT tax
works is um the government is saying
that like if you're making a leather
jacket that uh you get the raw goods,
the raw goods is bought by
uh the person that tans the hide or
whatever. And so, they did a thing to
add value to the leather that you got
from the cow. So, they're going to pay a
tax, the value added tax. You were taxed
on the value that you add because let's
say that you bought the raw hide for
$50, but you double its value by tanning
it. So now it's worth $100. So you're
going to get taxed on the $50 increase.
So every step somebody adds a button.
How much did the button add? They get
taxed. So it's a way for the government
to make sure that they get their piece
whether or not you end up selling it in
the retail store or not.
>> Uh so now you can everybody gets to
reclaim the step before them. But
anyway, they end up getting their
roughly call it 10% of the value that
was added to the object at the time of
sale. they've been getting it all along
the way. Um, and the reason that people
get weird about a value added tax, the
reason that we have avoided doing it is
it's a consumption tax. Consumption
taxes are going to hurt the middle class
and the poor the most because they have
the biggest um everything that they buy
is a bigger portion of the amount of
money that they have.
>> So, it's like we've always shied away
from that. Uh, but we've gotten to the
point now where people understand if you
keep taxing the rich, you're actually
going to take in less tax. That's wildly
unpopular, but it's just mathematically
true. So people can squawk and squeal
all they want, but what will happen is
just a it's on repeat. It happens in
history over and over and over and over.
And the only way to stop it is to put
capital controls. And when you put
capital controls, you kill your
desiraability. So if you want to look at
the countries that have done it, people
stop investing. So that's even dumber.
But uh hopefully we don't go down that
path. Okay. So uh we have wanted to
avoid a value added tax because it's a
consumption tax. But the good news about
a tariffbased
consumption tax is it is almost always
shared between the exporter and the
importer. So people always think, well,
the price is just going to be passed on
to the customer directly. And it's
usually not true. First of all, both
sides will absorb as much as they can
because they set their price for a
reason. So they'll absorb as much as
they can. So you really are getting it
from the business. So people that have
beef, I don't understand because you
want businesses to be taxed more. Well,
here it is.
uh and then the consumer um will
possibly take a slight increase, but
they only pay that increase if they want
to buy the good. So there are certain
goods where you'd be up in arms if
you're being charged a tax on. So
essentials,
that's why you want to make essentials
in your own country so that you can
avoid that. And then if somebody prefers
the thing from the country, well then
you accept. I'm willing to pay this
premium on this thing. And if you're
not, you've got your option there in
country. Uh, and this is why globalism,
it it hurts to go from globalism to
protectionist. Going from protectionist
to globalist, which will happen again in
whatever 30 or 40 years. So, uh, hang
tight. But, um, going this way sucks,
but you do need to reshore some of your
manufacturing so that you can stop
having the tariffs. But, um, this is the
game. So, it won't be just entirely
passed on to people. That's the punch
line.
>> Yeah.
And we have had reports now that that
tariff number is at 160 billion money
that we have been coming in through
this. So for money that wasn't there at
the beginning of the year and now has
been generated through these actions
although aggressive and without our
biggest trade partner. So we can only
see that number going up. Um that is
looking promising if that could be a
sustainable amount. And just like you
said in the tax video like the amount
that people are actually paying in
income tax isn't nearly as much as we
think. It is wild. The bottom 50% only
pay 3% of tax.
>> It's crazy.
>> Say that one more time. The bottom 50%
>> only pay 3% of the total taxes taken in
by the US government. Three. I was
shocked by that. That that is wild. Now,
that also speaks to the horrifying
inequality. So, I do not want anybody to
think that I've somehow changed my tune.
Inequality is not only terrible for
people, terrible for the country, it's
dangerous, uh it kills social mobility,
like it is literally bad from top to
bottom. There, uh when inequality gets
this bad, there's no benefit to point
to. So, you have to find your way out of
this. We all know my stance. No more
money printing, no more debt.
>> Uh okay, we were talking about this off
camera. Um, and this kind of shifts to
like tariffs and social mobility, but
I'm thinking now of almost global
mobility and how, you know, you're from
a worldly family, people in Britain,
they come to the US, people in from uh,
Greece came to Britain.
>> As a side note, that was one of the most
glorious things about going to this
wedding, traveling, multicultural. It's
dope, man.
>> This is why I love being in America. But
we got to find that unifying narrative.
Anyway, marriage brings people together
in a beautiful way.
>> Yeah. But seeing like that the world is
bigger, that there are other industries,
other cultures, other societies and
things like that, just in general, is
there a way that we can increase
global mobility? And I'm I'm trying very
hard not to sound like
>> in this moment.
>> Yes. Like it's just cuz we have to get
through this moment that won't that's
not a release valve we can let go. Like
>> I I uh the only way for me to stay sane
and to step in front of a camera is to
understand that the things that I say
now will take a generation to play out.
>> If I keep my eyes set on that, which is
the very thing I'm trying to get America
to do, you were up against a formidable
foe worthy of your respect that thinks
in 20 30 year increments. And they're
constantly dialoguing behind the scenes
because it's just the political party.
They talk to each other because I mean
there's thousands of people but they
communicate okay look this is what the
next 10 years is and then after that
we're going to do this for the next 10
years and so they've got these really
long reaching visions that they just
plan for and then they execute and so
what I want people to start doing is
contribute in a way where you will plant
a tree under who shade you will never
sit
>> um while I would love to live an
extraordinarily long life and sit under
all these trees that I'm planting I'm
okay if I don't um I want to help. I
want to help every country find their
mojo. But obviously, because I live in
America, I want to see America get its
mojo back. And we have to understand
that when you're raising a kid, they're
going to be a three-year-old. There's
nothing to do about that. You got to go
through the terrible twos. You got to
let them throw tantrums in their threes,
right? To get to the seven and eight
where it's like really kind of beautiful
for just a second. And then they get to
13. They are going to reject you. It is
It is known before it happens. they're
going to reject you. Uh, and then
they're 25 and they're going to come
back and they're going to realize if you
raised them well and you weren't abusive
and blah blah blah, they're going to
realize, whoa, you were right about a
lot of things. Thank you for giving me
this platform. So, this is all
predictable.
>> Uh, populism is predictable. Inequality
is predictable. Like, this is a math
equation.
>> Uh, the debt makes um it impossible. It
it creates the wild inequality, which
people can see. So, it makes them feel
bad. We're wired to hate that. Uh it
also makes social mobility very
difficult. Um and so when you have
moments of tremendous debt, tremendous
inequality, you are go you are going to
end up in a populist moment. When you're
in a populist moment, everybody is on a
tribe. Everybody thinks they're fighting
for their lives. And the only way to
unwind that is by um austerity and a
whole beautiful deleveraging. But the
part that everybody can't swallow is the
austerity part. So, you have to go into
austerity, which means you just give
people less money, which means, yes,
some people that you don't want to have
to see go to work, they're going to have
to go to work. Uh, some people are going
to struggle. Some people going to lose
their house are going to be homeless.
Yep. That that is what ends up happening
when you get into this dire
circumstance. Now, I wish that this were
avoidable. History has proven it's just
not. If money can be printed, you will
find yourself here. The way back out is
unfortunately just as predictable. Look
at what's going on in Argentina. He's
literally going, "Oh, you look back at
500 years of history. We know how to get
out of this. People don't want to do it,
but we know what to do." And he he is
just Malay is just running the playbook
and it's working. It's wild. So, um, all
of this is all physics of money stuff.
So, I don't think there is any way for
us to be like, um, hey, let's try to be
globalist again right now. Right now is
not a globalist moment. Right now is
protectionist. People are mad.
>> Yeah.
>> Yep. People are mad. uh the world really
is rigged against them and they're going
to unrig it no matter what they have to
blow up, destroy, no matter who they
have to kill. And so that like sense of
we have to go through this. Like I don't
think there's a magic sequence of words
that I can utter to save adults. I'm
back on my this is all about the kids.
>> So one I'm trying to reach the 2% of
adults that are actually swayable in my
opinion. Uh and then I want to do
something for the next generation and
then the next generation I hope will
just grow up being like ah
>> this is an amazing place.
>> Yeah.
>> Uh I can control my destiny but I have
to work very hard if I'm going to do it.
That the human existence the reason that
we became the most dominant apex
predator the world has ever seen is
because I can get better at something.
And so oh I'm the ultimate adaptation
machine. Got it. I have to put myself in
a position where I'm going to adapt. And
you're going up against uh Chinese kids
that work around the clock. literally
around the clock. And so,
>> seriously,
>> you either want it or you don't.
>> Tom wanted a standing ovation earlier
today um for this video. We're Let's
actually watch it now.
>> Yeah, this is wild.
>> We'll jump into it.
>> What is 45,689
divided by 67?
>> Sure. He silently asks the computer and
then hears the answer through vibrations
transmitted through his skull and into
his inner ear.
>> 6
1.9
2 5
>> Exactly right.
>> One more. What's the largest city in
Bulgaria and what is the population?
>> The screen shows how long it takes the
computer. He's literally just thinking
this. I'm guessing it's picking up like
the impulses that he's sending to his
vocal cords or something
>> because it's it's not reading his brain
waves. I can tell that by where it's
placed on him, but it is very
interesting that he's able to both ask
and receive the answer without anybody
else hearing. This is crazy. The stuff
that is available right now today
>> is very impressive. So you can, it looks
ugly and it looks awkward, but you can
right now today telepathically ask
Google a question and telepathically
receive the answer. Like he's hearing
it, but nobody else is.
>> That is This is Yeah, Fenboy is scared.
Understandably so. Understandably so.
>> Um, it's it's cool. But I think that's
where I kind of end up is like what's
what's the factor outside of the
coolness like
>> in terms of what's it gonna be?
>> Why do I need a telepathically talk to
Google? But I guess it's the implication
of a telepathic device.
>> Well, now you just have the answers like
once this is at the speed of thought you
just think what is this thing and it's
as if your own brain hands you the
answer. So um
now what will be the consequences where
you have augmented memories, you have
augmented knowledge. I like to think it
plays out like the matrix where you've
got a thing that you want to do in real
life but you need that knowledge but the
knowledge is really just meant to
facilitate a thing. It's not like I have
the knowledge and I'm this passive
zombie. Like when I'm writing the deep
dives I'm learning the topic but I'm
engaging with AI. AI speeds up the
learning process by I mean 5x
10x Drew. It's unbelievable. If you go
back to when I was in high school and
you had to drive to the local library
>> now I'm like trying to go through
newspapers and books and stuff like oh
my god
>> everything laid on.
>> Yeah. Like you're getting the um the
microf fish and you're like scanning
through like dude it compared to that
it's a hundred times faster a thousand
times faster. It's unbelievable. And so
it's upping the amount of things that I
can do. And so when I even gaming just
is always such a stark reminder for me
what we're able to do with Project
Kaizen versus what somebody would have
been able to do back in the 80s or 90s
>> is like games were pixelated for a
reason. The technology just didn't
exist. And as the technology improves,
it unlocks what people are able to do.
So it's the same people. It's probably
more people working on the game, but
it's people of the same intellectual
capacity, but now with all these tools
at their disposal, they're able to push
things and push things and push things.
Even just the um updates that have been
added to the Unreal Engine in the three
and a half years that we've been
developing, it's been like night and day
different. We've been able to get so
much more done. It's unbelievable. So,
uh, yeah, this is yet another technology
that if you're pointing it at something
that matters, it's going to unlock human
capabilities, the likes of which we
can't even predict yet what it's going
to allow us to do. Is it going to give
some people brain rot? Of course, there
are people that abuse everything. But if
you look back, somebody posted about
this yesterday
>> and it was like every major
entertainment revolution was blamed for
rotting kids' brains. So it was like
when novels came out there was this
headline that was like uh teen chops his
own head off novels to blame. So it's
like look
>> for sure people can get addicted to
video games. People will there will be
some terrifying stories exactly about
all of it but they are incredible tools
and I don't see people like getting rid
of it. I see people striving to have a
way healthier relationship and I think
that is very wise. Uh, but the things
that they let you do are just
incredible.
>> Dark says even Socrates was blamed for
riding kids' brains. Exactly.
>> It's so true. He was killed.
>> Exactly.
>> That's wild.
>> Uh, I think the most I'm excited for is
the overlap between a device like this
and Neurolink where we're now actually
able to talk, help, add mobility, add
clarification, add societal cues to
people who are quadripolgics, who can't
move, who have some type of learning
disability. like what would somebody
who's on the spectrum, how would they
use this device to articulate their
thoughts more clearly or
>> that's really interesting different I
mean look that will come out in the wash
whether it works in the way that I'm
about to describe or not but I could
certainly see it being something like
where the AI is picking up on the facial
cues and so the AI which can read very
subtle cues is telling you uh they're
happy they're sad they're frightened
they're withdrawing whatever and so you
get some sort of vibration pattern that
you know oh that's the happy one so it's
like oh I make them happy uh oo they're
like withdrawing. Whoa. Like we would
all get that from queuing off of
somebody's face, but if they are blind
to that and they don't understand, but
the thing they can learn to recognize
the 17 vibration patterns and all a
sudden they're like really?
>> So, uh, it's possible. Again, I don't
know that's how it would play out. But
that is certainly one way where I could
see because I know they're already using
that. There's a guy named David
Eagleman, uh, former guest of the show,
incredible guy who's created this device
that does that. allows deaf people to
hear or blind people to see through
vibration patterns. And the vibrations
can be so specific that they can be
like, "Oh, that's um Tom, whatever that
just walked in the room. That's Drew
that just walked in the room." Based on
the vibration pattern, uh they know what
you quote unquote look like. So, uh and
they say that over time that they
experience it as sight, which is crazy.
So it
>> the vibration is being experienced that
they it's not occupying the part of the
brain for feeling. It's occupying the
part of the brain for vision. So they
feel like they're seeing the person,
which is really interesting. We'll be
back in just a sec, but first let's talk
about the biggest barrier to investing.
The hardest part about investing isn't
picking stocks. It's just getting
started. Christina on my team was stuck
in this exact spot until she tried Alio
Capital. She says it is incredibly easy
to set up. They walk you through
building your portfolio and finding the
right mix for your risk tolerance.
Alio's Altitude AI handles the complex
macro stuff, tracking inflation,
interest rates, and global risk while
you focus on the basics. Whether you're
a complete beginner or you've been
putting this off for years, Alio makes
investing approachable. No paralysis, no
confusion, just smart investing made
simple. Download the Alio Capital app in
the App Store or Google Play or text Tom

Investing involves risks, including
potential loss of principle. Past
performance does not guarantee results.
See terms and conditions. Text fees may
apply. This is a paid advertisement. All
right, let's get back to the show. Keep
going. In AI news, a new study found
that 33% of teenagers you use AI chat
bots for companionships, conversation
practice, and romance. They found
talking to AI easier than talking to
real people and use it for emotional
support. U It's funny cuz you know
remember back when we were younger there
used to be like the sleepovers. It's
like super taboo now but like girls will
all have a sleepover and they'll teach
each other how to make out and they'll
start kissing on each other and things
like that.
>> And it's
>> I always thought it was pillows but
>> you know whatever you're kissing on
things you you you get a group of
friends and you say we don't know how to
do these things so let's all have our
bad ideas and see what's the best way to
do it. Dudes got together. Oh yeah, this
is how you have sex. All that advice was
terrible, but we it was just the best
advice out of the five of us. That's
what happens. It's interesting now with
the like introduction of AI into those
conversation circles where are we going
to still get that kind of uh coming of
age renaissance or is now everybody
going to be kind of reclusive and go
into the closet and Google what they
want to know to sort of have that. Um so
I just think that the AI chatbot thing
for teenagers doesn't surprise me, but I
just hope that it's not the sole purpose
and it's just one of the sources.
Listen, I don't love that parents are
going to have to go out of their way to
create moments for kids, but if I were
raising a kid right now, I'd be
thinking, "Okay, I've got to get a group
of parents together that have kids that
are roughly the same age,
>> and we're going to get them to have
phone free time, and they're going to
spend whatever on Saturday. They're
going to spend four or five hours in a
space, you know, playground, whatever.
But it's like, you guys are here. Make
up your own games, have fun. You're not
going to be on your phones under any
circumstance." I mean, this is like the
default stuff. Me and my cousins went to
swim lessons together and it was just
like you were riding in the back of the
car. I mean, back then it was wild. No
seat belts in the back of an El Camino
and all we did was pull a blanket over
our heads. People would have a stroke
today. But, uh, that kind of stuff where
you're forced into groups. I was picked
on relentlessly because I was the
youngest and had gigantic ears and you
just have to learn to deal with it. And
it's like, well, it's either going to
break me or I'm going to figure this one
out.
>> And you need to put kids in that space.
So, I don't mind them. In fact, I think
it's awesome that kids can have
relationships with these characters. Uh,
there's IP that is profoundly important
to me that helped me build my values and
all that stuff. So, we are a
storytelling species, but I don't want
that to be the only method that people
have to interact. Partly because, man,
some of it is just the things that you
do as a kid, they are going to be so
meaningful to you as an adult. Like,
there's just no way to recapture that. I
think about this with parents where kids
had parents that were abusive.
>> It's like that sense of being unmed that
you don't have a positive memory about
somebody going to the wedding uh that we
went to over the past weekend and seeing
like my wife around her parents and the
people she grew up with and her
siblings. Like there is something
special about like
the brain development that you're going
through is so profoundly different when
you're a child and it locks things in in
a way that can never be replicated as
you get older. There's a great line in
the Stephen King nolla the body which
was turned into Stand by Me the movie
>> and he says you'll never have friends
like the friends you had when you were
12. Now whether he knew it or not, he's
referring to a brain development cycle
known as the age of imprint. And so you
push away from your parents for the
first time and you like really bond with
your friends and you start learning
about culture from your friends. Your
parents are never going to teach you
about like the specific culture of the
here and now.
>> And so that kind of thing is exceedingly
important. And so I wouldn't want all of
that to come from even games. As much as
I believe in games and how amazing they
are, like you wouldn't want all of that
to come just from that.
>> Elon Musk tweeted, "Samsung's giant new
Texas Fab will be dedicated to making
Tesla's next generation AI6 chip. The
strategic importance of this is hard to
overstate. Samsung currently makes A14s.
TSMC will make A15s, which just finished
design initially in Taiwan and then in
Arizona, excuse me, then in Arizona.
Samsung also agreed to follow Tesla to
to allow Tesla to assist in maximizing
manufacturing efficiency. Do you know
how gangster that is?
>> I feel like that is Elon Mus saying,
"Yeah, I'm I'm I'mma put it together,
>> bro." Read the next sentence.
>> This is a critical point as I will walk
in the I will walk the line personally
to accelerate the pace of progress in
the fab is conveniently located not too
far from my house.
>> Okay, listen. that
I am obviously an Elon fanboy because
I don't know of a human in history that
has been able to be more efficient than
him. It's crazy. It is possible that
there isn't another human that knows as
much about manufacturing, high-tech
manufacturing, as he does
>> because he's done it across so many
different industries. When Samsung is
like, "Yeah, bro.
>> Here you go.
>> Come on in." like yes please. It's it
that is very impressive. You want to
talk about upleveling your skills? Uh
it's very impressive. By the way, if we
have any budding entrepreneurs in the
house, let me give you one piece of
advice that changed my life. It is one
of the core things that I think made me
wealthy. Anytime there was something in
business that I absolutely hated, like
contracts, uh there was always somebody
else that I could give the contract to,
but I didn't. I would either do it with
them, so I would co-read it with them
and be like, "What about this? What
about that? Why'd you want to make that
change? Because I knew one day I might
need to do this myself. It will only
advantage me to understand this. Do
that. Lean into this stuff. Find out the
cause and effect of like every important
thing. Don't chase nonsense, but figure
out what the important things are and
chase it. And so that is exactly Elon
getting to the engineering of things,
sleeping on the floor of the production
facility, learning how these things
connect so that you can get to the point
where you can walk into your partner,
one of the biggest companies on planet
Earth, and say, "Don't worry, we can
help you be even more efficient." It's
incredible, by the way. And that's also
how you make American manufacturing more
the place that people will come to get
things manufactured because you're
passing that knowledge around. now
guaranteed he was doing that in China
with the Tesla factories, but now doing
it in America, this is a good thing.
It's a very good thing.
>> I'm looking forward to it. I think
domestic manufacturing has been huge. Um
ASMC is officially opened up in Arizona.
There is a bunch of jobs open and stuff
like that. So, we are this can be a chip
act. This is also TSMC's commitment with
Trump earlier this year of investing in
the US. So, it seems like we're going to
have two bonafide chip manufacturers at
least for the major players. Oh,
>> that's huge, man. That is huge. Reading
the book about Xihinping, I'm like,
>> "Yeah, probably good that we start
getting these chips here sooner rather
than later."
>> Yeah,
>> I really want to get the author on. I
think it'll be very interesting. He's a
uh ambassador to
is he the Australian ambassador to
America right now? I think he is. Uh he
was a prime minister, the president,
president prime minister of Australia.
uh and then lived in China at one point
I think was the ambassador to the
Australian ambassador in China and so he
lived in Beijing for a while. So the
book is very much an insiders look at
it's very interesting.
>> All right, shifting gears. The west
coast was under a tsunami alert after
the large 8.8 magnitude earthquake that
happened in Russia. Um, this is footage
from Japan where whales were actually uh
washed on shore because of some of the
uh high waves. There were some that
crashed in San Francisco this morning
that was reported, but the highest one
was like 3 feet. So, it seems like
things while they're juicy, they're not
nothing crazy.
>> Yeah, thankfully there was a little bit
of damage in Hawaii, but nothing insane.
Uh there are no deaths reported, not
even in Russia. Um, so yeah, this one
could have been bad. thankfully was not.
The earthquake though was huge at 8.8.
That is wildly destructive. Uh but I did
some research this morning on what ends
up causing the whales to um get beached
is because the ocean currents become so
violent, it sucks the water first out to
sea and then slams it back.
>> So, as it's getting sucked out to sea,
they will often get trapped under
debris. And remember, they're mammals,
so they have to breathe.
>> Uh so, they can get trapped underwater
and drown. they can get drugg across the
bottom and just like literally lacerated
>> uh or it can push them so far forward
that they end up getting trapped in the
shallows. And so which of those things
happen to these guys? I don't know. But
uh and often because they travel in pods
once it gets one of them is going to get
the whole pod
>> uh and so they're toast. Yeah, it's
rough.
>> It's rough. being in the ocean is not uh
risk-free even when there's a tsunami
because at first I was like wait how do
they like because it's the energy is
passing through the water but the water
itself uh isn't really moving but it
moves enough that it uh can create that
problem.
>> Yeah. Yeah. It was the deadliest uh
earthquake or not deadliest the largest
magnitude earthquake um in like the last
like 30 years or something like that
from like a 9.0 that happened. I want to
say it was in Chile. Uh but so just nice
that there was no deaths and the tsunami
watch was crazy um to land in LA and
that's the first thing you see in the
news is like oh yeah by the way there
might be a tsunami. Um but luckily it
hasn't been as bad and we'll be with
those whales. Hopefully they get back in
the water.
>> No I think those guys are tapped out.
>> It's a wrap.
>> They they did not look like they were
making an effort to get back in the
water.
>> This was the video that some guy was
partying on the beach that you said
what's happening over there and he got
yelled at by his wife on vacation. And
because you just came from vacation, I
wanted to get your take on if there's
anything.
>> This wasn't quite the kind of vacation I
was on. This is your vacation, but okay,
let's see this.
>> Happy birthday. Happy birthday to you.
>> I don't think so.
>> She got the right one today.
>> What just
