Revolutionary breakthrough in cancer
treatments turns tumors into pork. You
heard that correct. The JFK files drop
and the CIA headquarters go on lockdown.
CBDC's are coming to Europe in 2025. Get
out while you can. Senator Schumer mocks
people for wanting to keep their money.
Tim Walls celebrates Americans losing
their retirement funds. Elon brings the
astronauts back as Tesla owners are
doxed and threatened and another Tesla
dealership is firebombed. Bology says
tariffs won't work because China is
skilled labor, not cheap labor. China
drops a new humanoid robot that costs
just over five grand. Google launches a
satellite to detect wildfires. And David
Freeberg offers an American dream tied
to stocks instead of houses. Drew,
welcome to the simulation. This timeline
is wild. It just keeps getting better
and better, you know. Yeah. the fact
that you can now turn your tumors into
pork. Uh once you understand it, how it
works, the Jews and Muslims got
something right about pork, man. The
body goes ham when you turn those Oh, I
didn't even mean that like that. But the
body goes ham when you turn a tumor into
ham. You do it without even knowing it.
You do it without even knowing it. All
right, jump right to it. We got to talk
about the elephant in the room. The JFK
files were released and shortly this
morning, the CIA headquarters was
attacked. So, this is a developing
story. We don't have all the quite all
the information. We don't know that
they're related, but uh the headline
goes, "Gunman opens fire outside of CIA
headquarters in Virginia. Heavy police
deployed." I would be so surprised if
these have anything to do with each
other. This feels like somebody
unhinged. But is it possible that in
their unhinged mind that the CIA is
leaking secrets? Or are they mad because
they think that the documents prove that
the CIA was in on it? They're trying to
take them out. I don't know. This is
pure speculation at this point, but
honestly, the files so far seem to be a
nothing burger. Now, there's 80,000
pages, so it is entirely possible that
as the internet sleuths do what internet
sleuths do that we will find that there
really are a bunch of dots that you can
connect that show something. Uh, but so
far it's not been very interesting. Even
AI reading everything that everybody's
saying on X is like like this isn't
there's really not anything new. Uh, so
we'll see what comes of it. I think
everybody has been focused on this Gary
Underh Hill story though and Gary Underh
Hill left Washington in a hurry late in
the evening. He showed up at the home of
friends in New Jersey. He was very
agitated. A small click within the CIA
was responsible for the assassination.
He confided and he was afraid for his
life and probably would have to leave
the country. Less than 6 months later,
Under Hill was found shot to death in
his Washington apartment. The coroner
rooted suicide. So, while yes, the CIA
isn't the smoking gun, seeing this
happen and people going viral with this
on X and then the gunman going outside
the CIA headquarters shooting up in the
air almost like a I'm coming for you
type thing. I do have my tinfoil hat on.
Yeah, this this is hard to foil hat.
I'll be interested to see my whole thing
with this is something is sus. When
Trump first got into office, as he
relayed it, somebody came to him and I
don't remember who, but they said,
"Listen, if you know what I know about
what's in those files, you wouldn't want
to release it either." And so, they
ended up not releasing it. And the fact
that you can release it to the public,
and look, limited amount of time, but
people have not found anything in it
yet. I'm like, okay, was that guy BSing
and he just was being lazy and didn't
know it was in the files? And so there's
just this perpetual motion inside the
government to want to hide hide hide or
have they pulled things out of the
documentation and so they know the
whatever the smoking gun they went in
they deleted the life out of it. There
were a lot of rumors going around that
when Cash Patel got appointed that
people were just burning and deleting
things as fast as they could. So it's
possible that whatever there was in
there that was damning enough that that
guy went to Trump and said if you knew
what I knew you wouldn't release these
that's just been pulled out. But that is
with Tin Hat firmly in place. Yeah,
we'll keep going through it. There's a
whole lot of files, so I'm sure this
story is going to keep developing as
time goes on. Stuck astronauts Sunni
William and Butch Wilmer returned to
Earth after 9 months in space after
Space X splashed down in Cape Kernal,
Florida. This is incredible in two
lanes. Incredible number one, that you
could reach out to a guy and be like,
"Hey, we've got some astronauts stranded
in outer space." and he's like, "Say
less, fam. I got you." Uh, and launches
a rocket that docks with I've and this
footage I have seen. It looks so fake. I
get why people are like, "There's no way
this is real." Uh, this is real. And the
fact that we were able to do that with a
private company is absolutely
incredible. Now, Elon's gone way out of
his way to say that this was a SpaceX
NASA collaboration. So, hey, word. Uh,
full credit. whatever NASA's role was in
this, I love it the most. Um, but it
really is incredible that we were able
to do this. Now, it's incredible in the
other sense of lacking credibility uh
that Biden or the Biden administration,
maybe is a better way to say it, was so
focused on the politics of not wanting a
guy who supports Trump to grab these
people that it ended up stranding them
for months and months in space. Um, that
is really grotesque. Now, that's in
keeping with what I know about man's
political animal. So, every politician
is going to do this, but given that this
one was a Biden administration play, uh,
point fingers where fingers are due,
that that's nasty. I hate everything
about that. They were supposed to be out
there for six days. That trip turned
into nine months. That's insane. Being
in space that long is not good for you.
So, uh, first of all, you have an
increased exposure to radiation. Uh,
second, there's all kinds of weird
things that are happening to your body.
the way that the fluids like are forced
out of the eye or drift out of the eye.
Like there's weird things that can
happen there. Your spine begins to
expand because there's no gravitational
force on you. Uh when you come back to
Earth, that can create a problem. You
start losing bone density. So, it isn't
like just an inconvenience to these
people. It is potential that this will
have long-term consequences. It's my
understanding that you don't want to
leave people in outer space for I think
three months is like the sweet spot. So,
you start going north of three months uh
and it starts being problematic. So
again, for this to be a political play
is super lame. Both sides do super lame
things. So I don't want this to be a
beat up on one side versus the other.
What I would love to see is for America
to rally together and say this is dumb.
We don't want to see things like that be
turned into politics. So uh that means
that when it's your team, you have to be
the one to pump the brakes. So uh if
you're on team Trump, pump the brakes
when he's doing dumb [ __ ] If you're on
the left, you got to pump the brakes
when your side is doing the dumb [ __ ]
like we really really as a a nation I I
forget who said this. Make America moral
again. I love that. Uh so yeah, I would
love to see that. Doing things like this
for political points is super lame.
Super lame. In other Elon news, uh Tim
Waltz wanted to dunk on Tesla sock. He
was speaking to a crowd yesterday and he
shared his idea of a pickme up. Saying
on my phone, I don't know some of you
know this on the iPhone. They've got
that little stock app. I added Tesla to
it to give me a little boost during the
day.
225 and dropping. It is my understanding
that Tim Walls actually bragged about
not owning any stocks. This is somebody
who does not understand how money works.
And this really grosses me out. This is
somebody who hates Elon Musk and his
politics so badly that he would rather
see him lose phantom net worth. Because
keep in mind, this is just Elon is
wealthy because he owns stocks that the
world says are valuable. But that is a
world who has already bought those
stocks and they're just saying if he
were to sell the remaining stocks that
he has at the price that people are
willing to pay right now, then he would
get rich. It's it's all makeelieve. But
the thing that's real are average
Americans that are holding those stocks
as a part of their retirement fund. So
this is Tim Walls saying, "I don't care
about grandma. I don't care that her
retirement fund is going down. I hate
Elon so much that it actually puts me in
a good mood to see grandma's net worth
going down because it also damages the
theoretical wealth of a very wealthy
person. That is so grotesque. Now, I can
say, okay, he just doesn't understand
the way that all of this works. And so,
he's not thinking about the fact that is
a baseball bat to grandma far more than
it's a baseball bat to Elon Musk. Elon
Musk is going to be just fine. grandma
is not. So when you have a very small
number of stocks making up the vast
majority of the gains in the stock
market and Tesla is one of the biggest
success stories of the last 25 years and
not understanding who is actually
benefiting from that. It is a whole lot
of average Americans who we finally got
to invest money in the stock market
through their uh retirement accounts and
uh investment portfolios that are
managed by other people. These are not
people who are saying I support Elon
Musk and his politics. These are just
people who are like hey because you
print money I have no option but to own
assets otherwise my savings will get
absolutely eroded. And he is celebrating
and a whole audience is cheering for
that reality. That kind of financial
illiteracy at the level that he's at is
unacceptable. It's it's nasty because it
I can understand if it was just jokes,
but it's now starting to creep into
actual results. And that takes us to the
DogeQ website that was actually
DogeQuest, I think, DogeQ.st,
uh, was literally listing supercharger
locations, Tesla dealerships, and the
cursor, if you would scroll through, it
actually had a Molotov cocktail. And
that led to again these might be
completely unrelated incidents but then
now we're seeing people set fire to a
Las Vegas dealership. So we're seeing
this political jargon and we don't like
this guy. Let's dunk on him turning into
actual acts of terror. Like this is
scary. It shouldn't be okay for average
citizens to go around and start bombing
Tesla dealerships or Ford dealerships or
whoever pickup trucks. Like nobody
should be bombing dealerships. Like that
shouldn't be the end goal. Uh agreed.
This is people who do not understand
that when you are doxing and terrorizing
the average American who owns a Tesla
because it's an exceptional car. Uh that
people were pressing Americans to go
green to get rid of their gas uh
guzzling uh traditional engine cars and
to get something that was more green and
better for the planet. And so a whole
bunch of people did it. And now those
same people are put on a list and told
if you don't sell your Tesla then you're
going to be doxed and to your point the
cursor being a Molotov cocktail
obviously encouraging people to uh
commit acts of violence which they are
actually doing. So, this
is this is a grotesque attempt to make a
political statement, which I'm all for,
in a nonviolent manner when you're
taking out out on the people that you
want to see them change their behavior.
So, if you don't like what Elon Musk is
doing with Doge, I love that. I want you
to speak up and I want you to give
people what you believe to be the right
angle to look at this, the right way
that we should be looking at government
spending and whatever you believe to be
true. I'm all for that. Even if you just
are trying to propagandize people and
sway them, freedom of speech says that
you have every right to do that. I'm all
for that. What I am wildly against is
conflating an average American, again,
it could be um just some random guy,
housewife, mom, dad, whatever in middle
America who's like, I really want to do
my part to make sure that my kids have a
better environment to deal with in the
future. And so I got a Tesla to support
it and I love the car and think it's
really cool technology and now people
are defacing that car which does not
hurt Elon Musk. It hurts that person who
now has to either deal with insurance or
drive around with a car that's been you
know defaced in some way. It it is an
illogical attack vector that is not
going to have the outcome that people
want it to have. So when I see people at
the highest level who are supposed to be
our leaders championing this kind of
thing, it is it is really distressing,
man. It's stupid. It's ill-informed and
it's going to
have a different outcome than they were
expecting. I'm starting to see kind of
common threads pulled between these
first three stories where something
happens in the government. Whether it's
a file that is leaked, whether it's
political prisoners, something happens
and then now the public reacts like the
little man ends up getting the grunt
like ends up getting hurt, you know,
like and JFK files were released. This
one person really thought he was doing
his thing and trying to help it. He's
going to be in jail for the rest of his
life attacking a government facility.
You have astronauts who are just in
space doing what they dreamed of when
they were kids and now because of a
political election they're in space six
months longer than they needed to be.
You have somebody who's driving a Tesla
probably got two kids in the back and
now they come back to their Tesla and
it's keyed and there's a flat tire and
it's like I I didn't even vote for
Trump. Why am I getting It seems that
we're we're misdirecting the anger is
it's like weird. Aggressively. This is
the problem with protesting. When
protesting is done right, you can
actually move the government in the
direction that you want them to go. If
people are activists, that's great.
People really should fight for the
things that they believe in. But you
have to think about the method in which
you want to fight. And we have people
resorting to violence so early. And you
resort to violence when words no longer
have the impact that you want them to
have. That is somebody who is saying, "I
give up. I'm not able to be persuasive.
I'm not able to um show people that my
way of viewing things is the right way.
And I am so blinded by my own sense of
certainty, my own emotions that I'm now
going to act out in a way that is
violent, that is destructive. And like
Nelson Mandela says, I always keep
violence in my back pocket as an option.
It is a card. And I get why we have the
Second Amendment. I get why we all
reserve the right to at a certain point
saying armed resistance is the only
thing that's remaining. But the fact
that people are going to armed
resistance this early is insane to me.
And we are going to see things continue
to escalate out of control until the
point where this becomes it's already a
cold civil war between the left and the
right. It will become a hot civil war.
You already have people as an act of
political defiance blowing things up.
Okay. I I don't know how much hotter. I
mean the the only way to escalate that
even further will be to kill a Tesla
owner. But at the rate that we are going
doxing people and all of that, you get
there way faster than you expect. Here
is where people need to understand. You
do not act out in a vacuum. People will
respond. This is the dumbest [ __ ] I've
ever seen in my life. If you think, dear
left, that you can go as crazy as you
want, that you can blow [ __ ] up, and
people on the right aren't going to clap
back, they will clap back with violence.
Violence beggets violence. If your
argument is so trash that you cannot
talk the other side into doing what is
actually good for them, you have a
terrible argument and you need to ask
yourself, am I actually right? Am I
actually leading the country in the
direction that we want to go? And the
reality is the left was not leading the
country in the direction that the
country wanted to go and so they voted.
Now, I am not saying that Trump is doing
all the right things. I don't know yet.
I don't know if all he's doing is
interjecting chaos. That may be the
final analysis and we may have to get
him out of office just as speedily as we
got Biden out of office. It is entirely
possible. But right now to think, oh, I
can act violently, stop using
argumentation as the path forward. To
think that that will not come back to
haunt you is moronic. As a nation, we
must find a path to understanding the
other side, whatever side you're on, has
value. I need to listen to why these
people believe the things that they
believe. And I need to find a path that
is going to be provably good for both of
us. This is not the way. Full stop. If
so, fact though, I'd love that. All
right. Now, in world affairs news, we
want to go behind the headlines. A lot
of times people say, "Oh, this
happened." For example, a word like
tariff and then we just say 20% tariffs
and we leave it. We don't actually go
one level deeper. So, there's some
things that have been popping off lately
that I want to talk about. We could
react to the clip, but then actually
think about the things underlying just
the clip. So, first off, Senator Schumer
um was on the view yesterday and he was
talking about his take on income
inequality and how he feels that the
rich and the billionaire class respond
when the government wants to intervene.
And you know what their attitude is? I
made my money all by myself. How dare
your government take my money from me. I
don't want to pay taxes. Or I built my
company with my bare hands. How dare
your government tell me how I should
treat my customers, my um the land and
order water that I own uh or my
employees. They hate government.
Government's a barrier to people. The a
barrier to stop them from doing things.
They want to destroy it. We are not
letting them do it. And we're united.
Some people need to be chased by a lion.
The the reality is when you are living
in a world where your survival depends
on getting the best and the brightest to
do uh an incredible thing will
short-handed to innovate. When you need
your best and the brightest to innovate
or you die, there is a lot of clarity
about what you need to do with the best
and the brightest among you. And one of
those things is you need to reward them
in whatever way your society rewards
people. It tends to be status and
whatever the money is of that day. We
are in a world now though where things
are going so well that people are
confused about how we're at the point
where some people can coast. And so if
you think of the right analogy as being
a bike on flat land where people pedal
like absolute maniacs to build all of
this momentum to work really hard to
build a societal structure. I'm I am not
denying this is within a framework of we
have built a societal structure. We have
a country that is stable, that has rule
of law, that has private ownership. And
the reason we have private ownership is
so that the best and the brightest can
be rewarded for pedaling that bike like
crazy. Now, not everybody in the country
can pedal the bike at the same rate. Not
everybody has as long of legs. Not
everybody has as strong of legs. But
also, not everybody is recognizing that
if you pedal and pedal hard that your
legs will get stronger over time and you
will get better at this. All we see is,
oh, the bike is moving really fast. And
so, not everybody needs to pedal, so
let's feel bad for the people with short
legs, weak legs, and just say, hey guys,
it's cool. You can pick your legs up.
And how dare those people with the long,
strong legs who are able to innovate and
create all of this momentum? How dare
they clap back and say that you uh have
taken your feet off the pedal? How dare
they demand that you pedal as hard as
they pedal, not realizing that you will,
because you're on flat land, you are
going to run out of that momentum and
the bike will die. And at that point,
now everybody is left fighting for table
scraps. But because people pedal so hard
and got the bike moving, they are now
confused about the reality. And there is
a a quote, I don't know who said it.
I've looked this up, six ways of Sunday.
I cannot figure out who said this, but
Marxists believe that redistribution of
wealth is the miracle. Failing to
understand the real miracle is
production. The real miracle in the
analogy of the bike is the people who
can pedal better, faster, stronger than
the next person. Not the redistribution
of the fact that now some people can
coast. And once you disincentivize the
people who can pedal well, your society
will fall. I understand that people who
can pedal faster should be rewarded than
the people who chose not to pedal for
whatever reason they may be that they
can't pedal as fast as others. But what
do you say to the people that do think
that if since you're so good at pedaling
and your feet are so strong, it should
be okay that you know one or two people
lift it up. You know, if the if the rich
people just gave a little bit more in
taxes, that's going to help everybody
out. What do you say to the people that
think that just a little bit of
socialism or or or striving away from
capitalism would be the solution and
that's the secret, the silver bullet
that we're avoiding? Those people are
right. A little bit of regulation goes a
long way. Creating a society where we
want to look out for the weak among us
goes a long way. I do not want to go
back to Sparta where babies that are
born infirm are put up on a hilltop and
left to be eaten by animals. I don't
want that. What I'm saying is you have
to understand what the miracle is. The
miracle is that people can pedal hard
enough that they can get an entire
society moving on flat land to the point
where there is momentum. That's the
miracle. And as long as we all go, okay,
I want there to be people who are
looking out for the people that can't
pedal. I want there to be a sense of uh
we're not just going to throw anybody
who can't pedal as well as the next
person off the bike and [ __ ] them.
Whatever happens happens. I don't want
to live in that world. It is the
delusion becomes dismantling of the
entire society. When you think that the
ability to take from the people that can
do well and spread it across everybody,
no matter how much it disincentivizes
those people, when you think that is the
moral high ground, when you think that
is the miracle, you will break society.
Now, I'm always curious with people who
take that stance that say they fight for
um social democracy, which I think if
you understand it as socialized
democracy, you will probably get closer
to the truth. And they're going to say
something
like you really have to make sure that
you're looking out for the little guy.
You've got to make sure that those
people are taken care of because it is
absolutely immoral to let these people
that are making money outpace people so
tremendously. So, I don't care how much
they whine and complain. This goes back
to Schum uh Schumer's quote. I don't
care. That's grotesque for them to want
to reap the benefits of their um setup.
You've got to be able to spread this
across everybody. They don't understand
that whenever this is tested, you end up
getting on this accelerating slope
because the people who are pedalling are
going to complain. It's the architecture
of the human mind. They're going to say,
"Wait a second, that's not fair. Why are
you taking from me and giving to
everybody else?" Which again, you do
want to do a little bit. You do want to
put a framework in place where the
strong cannot group up and make sure
that all the weak get kicked off the
bike.
However, as you begin going down that
path, they start complaining and you
say, "Drew, listen, we we're gonna have
to kill that one guy. Let's just call
him Elon. He's way too successful. Uh,
he's made way too much money. It's just
too far." And so, given that he's
complaining and he won't be compliant,
let's just kill him. And then you get
somebody like me who goes, "Well, hold
on a second. That's horrible. I hate
that." And so, then people are like,
"Okay, hold on. I don't want to kill any
more people than I have to, Drew. But
now Tom is creating a problem for me and
so I'm going to have to kill him as
well. If you think that I'm being
facicious, that I'm exaggerating, that
this is hyperbole, read about Stalin's
Russia and Ma China. In Ma China, you
had people going, "Hey, wait a second.
Um, since you've socialized everything,"
and they were just saying this out loud.
We're going to first go to socialism.
Socialism will lead to communism.
Communism is a utopia. that that has not
become like um a distortion of what they
said. That's actually what they were
saying. And so people were raising their
hand going, "Uh guys, actually since
you've socialized all this, the crops
are yielding less." And then they beat
those people to death. Not figuratively,
they actually beat them to death. They
killed them. Uh and then the next person
would be like, "Guys, wait, hold on.
People are now starving to death." And
it's like, "Oh god, that's really
inconvenient. So we're going to go need
to kill that guy who's complaining." And
so now all the people that point out you
don't actually want to plant crops like
that. We need to debate how we're going
to do this stuff because this isn't
working. When you kill all of those
people, then everyone else starves to
death. 45 million people in like three
years starve to death in China. from
like 1958 to like 1961,
uh, 45 million people starved to death
because the people who complained for
whatever reason you want to say they
complained, they were too greedy, they
were selfish, whatever. But they pointed
out this doesn't work, they got killed,
and then everybody else starves to
death. Tom, that's just China. Oh, bad
ruler. Okay, how'd it work out in
Stalin's Russia? Exactly the same. This
is where the idea of the Kulocks comes
from. You have these farmers, the Elons
of farming, and they have more cows,
more crops. So, obviously, that's got to
be corruption. That's not fair. And so,
we're going to go take from those guys
and give to everybody else. Now, the
Kulocks are a either chased out or
killed or so terrified that they're
like, I don't want to succeed. Guess
what happens, Drew? Everyone starves to
death. Literally, not figuratively,
literally. Millions of people starve to
death. And if you really want to freak
yourself out, what ends up happening to
a population that's starving? Some
percentage of them eat their own
children. Again, not figuratively,
literally. And so, you've got people
digging up corpses and eating the
corpses. You've got people selling human
flesh. People do not starve to death
quietly. And I I don't know how many
times this has to play out before people
go, "Oh, there's a thing in the
architecture of the human mind. That's
what we're up against." Let me give you
another example. There was a test done
by I believe it was a college professor
who said uh all of your your grades are
going to be socialized. So whatever the
average grade is, that's what everybody
gets. And very rapidly everyone began
getting Fs because the people that were
pulling the upper end were like, "Well,
this is stupid. I'm just going to get
drugged to the middle. There's no way
for me to reap the benefits of my own
fruit and so I'm going to stop pedaling
as hard." And then other people were
like, "Oh, well, I'm just going to take
advantage of the people that are better
at pedaling than me." But those people
are starting to give up. And so now
they're just slide, slide, slide, slide,
slide until it feels completely
hopeless, and everybody's getting
enough. It it you are up against the way
the human mind works. You are never
going to win with socialism. Now,
democratic socialism, if you can get
that just right, maybe. But you need
look no further than Europe to realize
compared to the US, they get their asses
handed to them at the level of
innovation. After they eating babies, I
feel like I don't have a response to
that. So, I'm just going to move on in
that place. All right, we'll get back to
the show in a moment, but first, let's
talk about the impossible choice that
crypto investors are facing every day.
You either keep your crypto in a secure
retirement account with contribution
limits and restrictions, or you trade
freely on exchanges and run some risk
that your assets all vanish. It
Capital's premium custody accounts
finally eliminate this impossible
choice. Premium custody accounts utilize

And now back to the show. Let's go to
the next thing that freaks people out.
CBDC's. And uh the European Central Bank
President Christine Lagarde talked about
implementing this as soon as October of
205. this year, this is months with all
the stakeholders meaning European
Parliament, meaning European Council,
meaning European Commission so that we
can eventually, you know, not put to bed
but put uh to reality this digital euro.
The deadline for us is going to be
October of 25 and we are getting ready
for that deadline but we will not be
able to move unless the other parties
the stakeholders as I call them uh
commission council and parliament
actually complete the legislative
process without which we will not be
able to move and I think it is
critically important and it seems to the
agnostic or the skeptics it seems to be
more relevant and more of an imperative
now than ever before both on the
wholesale and on the retail level both
why she never says Hi. Here's what's
hiding in
CBDC's. To anybody that can hear my
voice right now, please understand how
dangerous this
is. A
CBDC gives the government complete
control of your money. Now,
cryptocurrency and CBDC's sound like the
same phenomena. They are exactly
opposite responses to the digitization
of money.
CBDC's give the government an ability to
control every dime. If I go to the bank
right now and I say, "I would like to
withdraw $10,000." They will ask me why,
Drew. That's none of their business. It
is my money. They're getting confused.
They think my money is their money, and
it is not. With a CBDC, you will get
things like what happened in Canada with
the trucker protest on steroids because
now you don't have to debank anybody.
You just freeze their assets. They can't
do anything. Uh let's also say that the
government doesn't like what you're
spending your money on. I don't like
that you're buying Cheetos. Uh and so I
want you to buy healthy food. And so now
I'm going to stop you from being able to
spend money on things that we don't
like. This is the only reason to go to a
CBDC. Otherwise, you would take the
other end of the spectrum, which is
crypto, and saying, "Oh, digital money
is amazing because now it moves around
effortlessly 24/7, 365. You have
complete and total control of your
money. Can't do illegal things. That's
still illegal. We already have laws
against that. Uh just like I can spend
cash on whatever I want, which is why
the government has instituted policies
where they're forcing banks to ask me
what I plan to do with that
money. But the reality is, if you don't
want me to buy drugs, you're going to
have to police it at the level of the
drugs because it's my money. That's not
the attack vector that anybody anywhere
on planet Earth should stand for. The
government works for you. You do not
work for the government. The government
is there to make your life better. And
when you give a small number of people
the ability to say, "I like or don't
like the way you think or act, and I'm
going to respond by controlling your
money," you are now you're letting your
own government practice economic warfare
on you in the way that the US government
does on Russia. Here is what's happening
behind the scenes. The governments go,
"Oo, this economic warfare stuff works
and it works really well. Let's use it
to control our own people." highest
predictive validity for looking at the
government is to understand that they
want to achieve and maintain power.
Period. End of story. That is that thing
as an organism. And when you give them
control of the flow of your money, you
are giving them control over your entire
life. Okay. I I understand. I feel like
you gave me the the book end of it and
you gave me the setup of it.
Is there any nuance in the middle that
would say that a CBDC can potentially
help because the government can do
direct deposit or like auto tax returns?
I'm trying to think of there has to be
some other way of CBDC's being positive.
It's called digital currencies just not
central bank digital currencies. So
right now you have things like Tether uh
there's a bunch of stable coins. Stable
coins. Yay. We want America to create an
environment where there are stable coins
that are backed with oneto one um let's
even say US treasuries so that you say
all right this you gave this um stable
coin $1,000 whatever and you know that
that $1,000 so that you can now send
transactions on Venmo wherever the hell
you want um frictionless. You want to
know that they're never going to do
anything with that money that has any
real risk whatsoever. So, they're going
to hold a one to $1,000 in this case in
US treasuries. And while nothing is
guaranteed because the US could default,
it it is called the risk-free rate of
return to own a treasury for a reason.
So, it's as close to risk- free as
you're going to get. So, there's a
onetoone storage of that which you don't
get in a bank by the way. Yeah. So a in
that sense a stable coin is more
powerful from a risk mitigation
standpoint than a bank. So now you have
a onetoone US treasury for the dollars
that you gave them and now you can send
the stuff all over the place. The reason
the US government doesn't like that is
they can't control it. This this is a
game of power and control. Period. Full
stop. End of story. Otherwise they would
just be like hey the regulation is this.
Your stable coin must be backed by uh US
Treasury. That's fantastic for the US
dollar supremacy. So even if globally
you're like, "We can't give up the power
of the US dollar." Cool. I'm here for
that as an American. I love it. But if
you weren't trying to control me and the
things that I buy, you would just be
like, "Do stable coins with the
regulation that is backed by US
treasuries." But they're not saying
that. This is I mean, this is Europe. In
in America's defense, I don't think
Trump is going to let a CBDC go forward.
But in Europe, they're saying, "Oh my
god, Drew, this is this is so
important." It's absolutely imperative.
I'm not going to give you a reason why,
but this is imperative that we be able
to Everybody's going to be better off.
Uh no, they are not. They will use this
for control. This will be uh
abused. Look at what Canada did to the
truckers. It's it is egregious. They
were freezing the funds of people who
donated to the truckers. They weren't
protesting. They were just donating to
the truckers.
Yeah, that definitely seems like a
slippery slope. Yeah, if they can
already do stuff like that, imagine when
they literally control all the dollars.
That's nuts because the government, to
get back to the very specific question
you asked, the government could use a
stable coin to make a direct deposit
into your account. Easy peasy.
So then it has to be that other layer of
control, just control. Period. Sheesh.
All right, as we continue traveling
around the world, some breakthrough news
in China. A new cancer therapy disguises
tumors as port to trigger immune
attacks. 90% effective. Chinese
researchers turn the immune response to
organ transplant rejection to cure
cancer with a 90% success rate. called a
tumor to pork strategy. A new study
published in cell earlier this year
demonstrates immense success in
engineering a virus that tricked the
human body into believing that cancer
cells were pig tissue, thereby
triggering a hyperacute inflammatory
response. The virus began attacking the
tumor with a staggering 90% success rate
to the point of curing a patient with
advanced cervical
cancer. This is one of the most
thrilling things I've heard in a long
time. There is something about this
moment. I don't know that these guys
have used AI. So I can't even point and
say like oh my god this is an AI
breakthrough. But this is one of the
many many many reasons that I say the
thing you want to focus on is
innovation. Uh I will remind everybody
how did China unlock this big innovation
all of these things is they started
leaning on capitalism. They moved away
from the very thing that's supposed to
usher in utopia.
Uh this is incredible. I I don't know
what's going on right now, but so many
things are converging and making me
extremely excited about what's
happening. Understanding the mechanism
of how this works. So the way that a
tumor cell works is it disguises itself
and says to the immune system,
everything is fine here. There's no
problem. But what's really happening is
this is a cell that is never going to
stop dividing. Normally the immune
system recognizes that and kills it. All
of us have cancer cells floating in our
body. The immune system recognizes them
and stops them. When a cancer cell
becomes problematic is when it can
disguise itself from the immune system
to say, "All good, no worries." And so
they're using this as a method to make
the cell basically scream out and say,
"I'm a foreign invader." And so the pork
thing is a bit of a um red herring. It
doesn't matter that it's pork. It's just
we know a lot about uh pork. It's been
well studied uh in terms of we looked at
using pig tissue for organ transplants
and things like that and we know how the
body responds. So given that we have
studied this a lot, we know how the
immune system responds specifically to
pig tissue. That's why they used it and
the fact that you can mark a tumor cell
to say I'm a foreign invader is
unbelievable.
So the thing that I don't know enough
about and of course all of these things
they're never as good as you want them
to be. So I'm sure over time we will
find that there are real limitation it
limitations to this or there is some
secondary um problem with the
inflammatory response. An obvious one
would be cytoine storms. So the thing
that was actually killing people in
COVID was cytoine storms as the body
tried to respond to the virus. Uh so you
can actually respond so aggressively
that the immune system kills itself,
kills the host, in this case us. So it's
possible that we see uh actually like
once you go wide there's a huge number
of people that have a cytoine storm and
it kills them. So we'll see. There's
there's going to be parameters here
almost certainly. But man, what an
incredible breakthrough to see them be
able to identify that tissue, tag it,
and then the immune system leveraging a
virus in a way that I don't fully
understand because I think it's
technically the virus that's going in
and attacking the cancer cell. It's not
the immune system itself. So, there's
complexities here that I don't fully
have my head wrapped around yet, but
this is incredibly promising. Yeah. and
something that is just done without
Google scientist for example the AI
model that specifically tackles science
problems without things like that being
at 100% you can only imagine yeah put
those two things together adding quantum
computing who knows we can probably have
this thing wrapped up in 10 15 years um
but this specific treatment is entering
phase two and phase three clinical
trials to evaluate potential and safety
risk and things like that so great
initial clinical lab response now we
actually have to actually do the
clinical trials in people yeah this is
one of the things that makes me very sad
that we are in a cold war with China and
that this is only going to accelerate.
Uh when you get global cooperation,
which thankfully the scientific
community tends to really try to find
ways to help each other out regardless.
Um but this is out of China, man. God
bless them. I'm even though I want
America to win, if China's got something
rad like this, I'm here for it. Clap
clap clap. Flowers at your feet. Yeah.
Very exciting. I'm glad you made that
transition because a lot of times when
we see China's rise in the economy,
everybody thinks it's just cheap labor.
Oh, it's just because they got Tim
T-Moon, Alibaba and that's why China is
accelerating. But Balaji put out a very
interesting tweet with Tim Cook and I
wanted to see his he has a very
interesting take of why China is so
exceptional. So really fast before you
play that uh let me give some further
setup. So think about this in the frame
of tariffs. So, Bology is saying, look,
maybe if um China were just cheap labor
that putting these tariffs and making
those goods more expensive, that would
solve the problem. But that isn't the
problem. China has become very
intelligent labor. And that's what Tim
Cook speaks to in this clip.
There's a confusion about China, and let
me at least give you my opinion. The
popular conception is that companies
come to China because of low labor cost.
I'm not sure what part of China they go
to, but the truth is China stopped being
the low labor cost country many years
ago. The reason is because of the skill,
the quantity of skill in one location
and the type of skill it is. Like the
products we do require really advanced
tooling and the the precision that you
have to have in tooling and working with
the materials that we do are
state-of-the-art and the tooling skill
is very deep here. You know in in the US
you could have a meeting of tooling
engineers and I'm not sure we could fill
the room. In China you could fill
multiple football fields. It's that
vocational vocational expertise is very
deep. As somebody who wants to bring
manufacturing back, how do you think we
juxtapose those two things of it's not
just cheap labor, we might have a
education gap or a skill gap as well
that we need to fill. I don't care if
China is the world's smartest people and
America is a nation of dummies. You
cannot go to war with an adversary that
controls your manufacturing. Full stop.
People are not paying attention or
they're not being sincere about where we
are with China. We are in a position
where your modern way of life, AI chip
manufacturing is basically entirely out
of Taiwan. China has made it abundantly
clear that they plan to reunify with
Taiwan at some point. Now you're putting
yourself in the reverse position. Right
now we can choke China off from having
access to advanced chips. You're putting
yourself in a position which you already
saw in COVID where China can choke you
off from a lot of different goods. And
we are saying ah well during globalism
we the period of globalism we made China
more powerful that they became the
skilled labor not because they are
smarter than us they became the skilled
labor because the whole world was
pouring into them from a manufacturing
standpoint. China relaxed their
restrictions on people being able to get
rich. People started innovating as a way
to generate personal wealth. They made
all these incredible innovations,
trained the life out of their people and
now we're saying well we've lost that
race and so we're not even going to
compete. That is the most absurd
reaction to this moment in history I've
ever heard in my life. You've got to
understand you are a competitor with
China. The age of like everybody gets
along. Globalism first of all was always
a myth. China was using it as a way to
get stronger. You have to understand
their whole thing about the hundred
years of humiliation. We're never going
to let it happen again. They see a world
order dominated by China in the future.
God bless them. I see a world in which
America dominates the world order. So I
understand. But you have to be realistic
about the situation that you were in
when you cannot manufacture. Part of the
American ethos of who we are is
predicated on the story that we told
ourselves about World War II that Japan
dropped bombs on Pearl Harbor and then
said, "Uh-oh, I think we may have awoken
a sleeping giant." And then we
outmanufactured everybody. And our
ability to turn on that manufacturing
machine and make it a um military weapon
was absolutely incredible. And obviously
we're not speaking German or Japanese
because of that fact. We are no longer
that America. We no longer have that
ability. And I love Bology to death. Bye
is brilliant. And thank God I'm able to
look at the world through his eyes. But
the reality is Bology doesn't live in
America. And I don't know if he's
intentionally blinding himself to this.
I don't know. But the reality is we must
address the fact that we are in a cold
war with China that is going to
escalate. that there hopefully never
ever ever do we get to a hot war but
it's certainly a possibility and we must
plan for that possibility now. So you
that's why you think Trump's motivation
to bring terrorists bring manufacturing
back it's to build our own to build our
own supply of goods and services so we
don't need to rely on another country or
do you think it's more
military and defense-based? Trump is a
very complicated figure and anytime
anybody asks me to read the mind of
Trump, I'll do it. But okay, Trump is
complicated. Uh I don't know that what
Trump is doing is going to work. Bye may
be right about tariffs that tariffs are
just going to brutalize the economy.
What I'm saying against Bology's take on
the tariffs is that you can't throw your
hands up and say, "Well, China's already
won the race. This is about them being
uh far more advanced in their ability to
manufacture. What I'm saying is whether
tariffs end up being the play or not, we
must find a path to bringing some, not
all, manufacturing back to the US. You
want to friendshore or onshore the
things that are critical and you cannot
unfortunately much to my dismay you
cannot look at China as a friendly uh
place to leave these critical things
long term do you think that this is
something that the tide is going to turn
because I feel like in the 90s everybody
loved globalism so do you think in a
couple years we're going to start to
realize like oh wait back to isolation
like we should be 100 we're already in
an isolationist move Look at business.
Business answers this question.
Everything bundles and unbundles over
and over like an accordion. And what
ends up happening is you realize, oh,
everything's centralized. Let's unbundle
this stuff. Give people more choice.
Build a whole bunch of different
companies. Like, oh my god, like there's
so much choice. Then, and that's better
for the consumer. And then it starts
getting so fractured that the consumer
gets really annoyed. Think about how
many different uh streaming services you
subscribe to. And then people start
going, uh, I would actually rather you
guys start bundling this up. And so then
people start um through acquisition,
through partnerships, they start
rebundling things and then somebody's
going to go, "Oh, this sucks. It's, you
know, bordering on monopolistic." And we
start breaking it apart again. And it
will just accordion like that. If you
look back through history, same thing.
You go globalist then protectionist.
Globalist then protectionist. It all
comes down to the basically just to
oversimplify the GDP growth of your
country. When GDP is growing,
everybody's happy. when GDP is stagnant
or shrinking, people start being
protectionist.
And do you think AI is going to leverage
or break this model or that's why we're
in the race now? How do you think AI and
technology is going to play in this? AI
could conceivably blow all of this apart
and make capitalism completely uh a
nonsecorator, just not matter. Nobody's
talking about it, thinking about it
anymore. I don't know that that's going
to be true. Um I can certainly paint
that picture. I fear that our community
has heard me talk about this ad
nauseium. Uh but the really really small
nutshell for somebody encountering this
for the first time is if there is no
upper bound to intelligence then AI will
become super intelligent. Super
intelligence will for sure allow us to
capture the energy coming from the sun.
The energy coming from the sun is so
abundant that labor cost will go to zero
because labor is about energy. Once you
think about robots as eating sunlight,
then you'll understand why getting
energy cost to zero is such a big deal
because robots are intelligent labor,
super intelligent labor that operates
for free. So, if AI really does bring in
that world, then you're you're in an
abundance post scarcity world. Um, it's
just there are enough question marks
that as an act of faith, I believe it. I
don't know that that's going to be true.
Nice. Okay, we'll get back to the show
in a moment, but first I have good news
