Jake Tran in the building welcome sir let's do it thanks for having me thank you for coming through you for people that are just watching this you don't know but you were here yesterday taking us through all of your behind the scenes of building YouTube over the past five, six years. There's really incredible stuff. And I know Alessi was lapping it all up too. So I really appreciate you going through everything there. It's amazing what you pulled off and also like how incredible your system is too. Thanks, dude. Yeah. It's been a long journey and I'm glad you guys found some help out of it. Hell yeah, man. But what got you into being a YouTuber in the first place? Because people look at you, you're like an OG of the game. You've been around a long time, but you're only 26 years old. Like you were doing this, you were thinking about doing this young.

Yeah. So I grew up watching YouTube. It was always my main form of entertainment. So I always found it really, it was always a dream that you could just, you know, have fun on camera and make money from it and get free stuff um but it's pretty multifaceted so on top of that um i really wanted to find a way to make money because you know we grew up in a immigrant household we never really had money growing up where you from originally uh vietnam saigon yeah and you actually grew up there a little bit before coming to the u.s yeah i was born there Saigon, and we moved here when I was two. Okay, so you don't really remember it. Yeah, and my dad was, like, one of the literally fresh off the boat Vietnamese refugees.

So, yeah, we came here broke, and they were always – my parents were always hammering, like, how I needed to make money growing up as, like, a little kid. Asian parents hammering you to make money? That would never happen. Yeah. And on top of that, once I was in college, I was doing like community college to save money. And, you know, I knew that my parents wouldn't have much money when they retired because they had me when they were a little bit older.

So they only had a few years of working left. And only my dad had like a small government pension retirement plan thing. And my mom didn't really have anything saved. So I knew once they retired, they would definitely be like below the poverty line with just having social security and like a small, tiny retirement plan. So I knew like the clock was ticking. So that was another really big motivation and what it because the the topics of your channel for people who aren't familiar we're gonna have the links down below but you dig into like the underbelly of society and how i would say like how society

really works and all the things that are fucked up that we've just like accepted as what it is and it was that something that you thought about a lot as a kid or was it more like you were trying to become a YouTuber and you found topics that people wanted and you started to research them? It's a little bit of both. So at the start, I was making – everyone talks about how you just make normal videos where you're on camera if you want to do YouTube. So that's what I was trying to do. But at the time, I was like 19, 20 years old. So I didn't really have anything to talk about. And what I realized was there's really only two routes on YouTube. If you want to start number one, you can make actually maybe three routes.

Number one, you can make videos about your expertise. If you're an expert in something like you're an expert investor, you make videos about that. But obviously the problem with that is I didn't have any expertise at the time. On top of that, the other route, if you didn't have any expertise at the time on top of that the other route if you don't have an expertise is you make videos where you do stuff that no one else wants to do like think mr beast burying himself alive for uh whatever it is like two days or whatever uh but the problem with that is uh you have to do crazy stuff that i didn't really

want to do and uh on top of that you you always have to keep upping the stakes. Like a year later, instead of burying yourself for two days alive, you bury yourself for seven days alive. Which is what he did as well. Becomes a rat race a little bit. Yeah. And for some people,

that's like the right fit for them. It fits their personality, but it definitely wasn't for me. And the other route is you report on the news on youtube like you report on like financial news or whatever but then it becomes like another job where you're once something happens in the news you have to make a video right away um and it becomes like a really big grind but then i noticed this other route where um these other channels they would just make like uh these like faces b- stock footage, or animated videos where they just – instead of basing it off of your expertise or doing crazy stuff or the news, you just base it off of cool stuff you researched.

So that was very appealing to me. And then on top of that, around that time, I read the book 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene. Great book. Yeah, and that book just completely changed my worldview overnight. And I loved how blunt he was, explaining that this world is ran by people who are after power.

You should learn how the game of power works. And not only like the content of the book changed my worldview but just the way he wrote in like that very uh blunt uh kind of like overt tone yes and what was your worldview before that though um i was like a complete academic student

in college i was really good at college even though it was only like community college um and i was completely bought into you know the whole you know go to college get a good job uh the plan yeah at one point uh i was like pretty sold on myself becoming like a computer science phd person and just like doing that for the rest of my life um but yeah i read the book it completely changed my worldview and that kind of really influenced the tone of the channel where I explain how evil things work and whatnot. So wait, the power dynamics influenced that because you were now identifying the types of people or groups or groupthink scenarios where there was a concentrated use of just trying to hold power over other people rather than just try to make money, so to speak? Yeah, I saw that... How do I explain this?

Yeah, I read that book and I just saw that, you know, everything in this world revolves around power. And that just really opened my eyes. And the first like video in that direction was I read a book called... What was it called? The Creature from Jekyll Island about how the federal reserve was founded yes by yes like a secret meeting with uh all the elite bankers at the time tell that story

for people that don't know it yeah so jekyll island is a real island i believe it's somewhere in georgia maybe and um at the time they wanted to create a central bank in america because america didn't have a central bank at the time. It was based off of the gold standard. What years are we talking, roughly? Early 1900s, I believe. I could be wrong. But they knew the American people would never fall for a central bank because I believe at the time, people were aware of the dangers of central banking. Really?

And like a fiat currency, yeah. Like the average American? I'm not totally sure about the average american but definitely like you know the general consensus maybe within people that actually were in the government and stuff like that okay yeah what made them so afraid of it um you're kind of testing my memory right now but it's been a few years that's what what I do. But because America had tried, I believe, to have a central bank in the past, in the 1800s. And I believe it failed miserably or something like that. So people knew the dangers of it.

So the elite bankers at the time, I can't remember who exactly they were. Maybe one of them was J.P. Morgan. They all took like a secret train ride to this Jekyll Island place. And they and a part of the federal government when in reality the federal reserve is privately owned and it will allow them to print as much money as they want wait it's privately owned yeah how does that work um these days um yeah it's like privately owned by the big banks and um the the leaders of it i believe they're still like you know government bureaucrats. But that's how – like part of the argument is you separate the government from the money printer. But I don't think that's how it works in practice. Yeah, it doesn't really work that way.

There's so much – and now like in the media age, there's so much political pressure that's put on it. I mean you've seen how much money they've printed for example over the past five years and it all started with the pandemic where you had the whole government freak out and say we're gonna crash if you don't print it and it's like who's really making the decisions here you know yeah definitely but that's so that's that's crazy though that you know our society then just accepts something like that as the standard norm like oh yeah the federal reserve that's how we get our money and it's just a bunch of fucking old dudes in in the forest like talking to each other yeah and if you look at the graph of the value of the dollar like from the moment the federal reserve became a thing to today we've lost like i've seen numbers between like 90 to 99 percent of the value

of the dollar yeah and that's kind of the inevitable outcome when you're allowed to print money. Yeah. You know Anthony Pompliano? Yeah. On the internet. So he's been talking about inflation for so many years with these charts, and you look at them, and they look fake. You're like, this can't be real. But then you start to consider it, and you think about like even – we weren't alive back then, but you think about like what people could buy with a dollar when you hear the stories in say 1950. You can't buy anything with a dollar now it's just math and we've and we've effectively done that to to society but i mean there's also so many other

companies you talk about like the the private banks so to speak owning the federal reserves you now have these behemoths like the black rocks like the Vanguards and these huge companies that also own the literal stock of all the publicly traded companies that then basically have to report to them. So they keep buying them and people wonder why society is so corrupt. Yeah, definitely. So it's the most covert way of taxing you because if you're the government and you want tax dollars from your subjects, your people, you really have two ways. You can tax them directly, but then people are going to get angry if you have to pay like a really high tax on your income or whatever. Or you can inflate them by printing more money because when you print more money the value of everyone's dollars in their bank account goes down so effectively it's you get the same outcome as taxing people directly how wait you lost me for a second how do you get that if if you are

still based off the dollar that's also losing value in that process anyway because uh as the government you get the you print the money to spend uh money to spend, which is kind of the same outcome as you taxing them and them having to pay money directly from the bank account. Oh, I see. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So it's the same – you get the same outcome, but it's more perverse. People don't notice inflation as much as they do direct taxes.

Yeah. And you look at society like we notice the tragedy. We notice the helicopter that flies into the plane and some people die. It's a horrible thing. But if you look at that, I think and heart disease that we talk about and we accept and we're like oh well it's horrible but yeah a lot of people die that and they're killing millions of people every single year but because it's just a statistic you know and then you have your anecdotal stories of course you know where people lose family and stuff like that like it's not this main news story where it's like oh my god something just blew the fuck up yeah and so we we almost that i don't know what the term is for this it's on the tip of my tongue but like that tragedy of just the slow burn versus the instant hit makes us ignore things like this and

it ignores even things economically for us as you're pointing out yes i think we're like fentanyl like i believe this that is a hundred thousand people died in 2023 for fentanyl and i believe that's a very high multiple of like one single 9-11 oh yeah yeah exactly in a single year too in a single year but because it's uh it's not like like what you said people just don't really notice it what do you think that is the fentanyl crisis obviously we know the cartels are like bringing across the border and stuff and there's been some open border problems but what what does that emanate from do you think this is like a reverse opium war yes because i had lewis chaparro oh i'm definitely not saying his last name right but yeah i had him on for a video and he showed me WhatsApp messages where you can literally buy the fentanyl ingredients to make fentanyl from these Chinese vendors.

And you see their WhatsApp messages with like their Chinese name and stuff. And yeah, he believes that is definitely part of China's subtle warfare with us where they were humiliated by the west from the opium wars um and now this is kind of like their way of getting back to us and you know if you're china and your military isn't strong enough to face the u.s head on like why wouldn't you do stuff like this yeah it's crazy i've told this story before but there was a guy named ben westoff who wrote a book called fentanyl inc you ever hear of this? No. So I think we're going to get him in for a podcast at some point here, but he had done a podcast with Joe Rogan maybe five, six years ago where he talked about how he got into it. And he was like,

I was a culture reporter. I wrote about like the music industry and shit. And he was given some sort of story where he had to cover something within, I think the music industry. And somewhere along the way, he was talking with a guy and an offhand comment came up about fentanyl and he was like oh tell me about that he didn't really know anything about it and long story short he suddenly went down the rabbit hole and realized oh my god there's a story in here ends up writing this whole book but one of the things he did was he like alone went undercover to china just to see how easy it would be to get like a fentanyl hookup and like went into the factory talked to guys like yes i could just get like yeah we'll fucking

fedex it to you or whatever he's like i can do this think about like what organized crime groups can do yeah to get this in like there's no way that like you know we can talk about china doing the reverse opium war i believe that and louise's research is great but also why the fuck are we letting it in so easily i feel like there's better ways great but also why the fuck are we letting it in so easily i feel like there's better ways we could stop it or more things we could do to stop it here no yeah definitely and yeah one other thing louise told me is that uh you know the cartels in mexico they would have uh chinese reps come over and show them how to make the drug with these ingredients and on top of, now there's a stronger drug.

That's something like 50 times stronger than fentanyl. 50 times? Yeah. It's called Nidazine. Huh. Also coming from China. Same kind of setup. It's like the next big moneymaker.

And the reason why the cartels love fentanyl is not because they're like intentionally trying to kill their customers. It's because they can cut it into other drugs and just make the other drugs way cheaper. So it's definitely a money incentive. Who do you think runs the world? And I'll tell you why I'm asking that later. I think that these days, everything has to be very PR friendly.

Like our politicians and those in power and whatever. But at the end of the day, we still have the same human psychology from the dark ages, from all these other way worse periods of time. So I think the same things that were happening before are still happening today, just behind the scenes. You have to make it more pr friendly what does that look like though so i think you know before there was a few families running things around the world like a few powerful families i think it's probably something similar to that today uh except they just have to go like jump through more hoops like bribe the politicians and stuff like that instead instead of doing it overtly.

Who were, like when you say there used to be a few families running the world, when and who are you talking about? Well, if you look at like the Forbes list of like the world's richest people, what you notice is that most of those people made their money in the last few decades, usually from tech or some other stuff like luxury or whatever. When in reality, we have eight billion people on the planet and you know before these people made their wealth there were a lot of other people a lot of other families that were just as wealthy and are probably way more wealthy than the people on the forbes list so i think it's families like that um whereas maybe it's

not a single individual like mark zuckerberg owning all that wealth yes it's usually like you know a powerful family dynasty. And you're saying that they're not on the Forbes list, I guess, because they're better at hiding their money or spreading it around the actual family? Because if you look at the Forbes list, most of those people have public money that's tied to public stock, which is extremely easy to trace. You can just view it like the market cap on the stock market, like Zuckerberg or whatever. Whereas most of these other families, they own private property.

They own other forms of wealth that aren't tied to public tech companies that are extremely hard to trace. And if you look at Zuckerberg or Elon Musk, they kind of have to show off their wealth because that's part of their like personal brand yeah that they're like you know these super smart tech people or whatever whereas most of human history if you have wealth you definitely hide it or else you know the peasants

will raid you yeah and it's funny because it feels like that circle life is coming back around because we have such a wealth gap that's happened. You actually just did a video recently on like the death of middle class that was really good. But like this wealth gap has now exacerbated the divide between the common man and the ever shrinking almost group of like actual powerful man. And yet we have the most see-through to each other that we've ever had because of the internet and obviously mass access to media yet you know there's more of a an ability for some of those people to flaunt the wealth they have or feel like they can do that today when you would think it would be the opposite yeah i think you know half of it is like you know the new rich people that you know want to show off

their wealth yeah uh the other half is like the old money people. That intentionally try to hide their wealth. Yeah the old money thing. You start looking like family offices. And how they. Slush that stuff all around. To keep it going through the generations. I don't understand that mentality. Because in a lot of ways.

It's always like you're ruining the next generations. Because what do they even work for? They're just inheriting what they had. Like, I don't want my kids, when I have a lot of money, to like know that I have a lot of money or inherit that. I want them to go be dogs

and fucking form their own life. You know what I mean? Yeah. You know, I made a video on the horrible lives of rich kids because... Oh, shit. Can we pull this up, Alessi? Because, you know,

all of us look at rich kids and we envy them. Like, I wish my parents were rich. When, in reality, you really don't. Because if you look at these rich families, they have impossible expectations for their kids. Because if you're, like, a third-generation rich kid and you're, like, the patriarch made all the money, like your grandpa or something. By the time you were born, all that money's compounded compounded into maybe like billions of dollars yep and there's literally no way um there's a extremely extremely slim chance that you could ever surpass that on your own unless you join the family uh the family

business correct um so you know for you know people like me that grew up in a poor family like any amount of success that i achieve whether it it's a $100K job or a million dollars a year, my parents are going to be ecstatic. It's very easy to make them proud. And at the end of the day, all of us at some level want to make our parents proud. That's part of our purpose or whatever you want to call it. But for a rich kid, it's literally impossible to make your parents proud yeah so that's why a lot of them end up turning to like drugs and stuff uh like we talked about in this video yeah can we turn the volume on unless you go back to the beginning oh i know that guy let's let's see what this is your edits are amazing

i love that some money some drugs how does the sex going the The glamour. What a fame. A kid who has everything. Parties. Super young. I'm going to inherit more money than most people can earn or spend in a lifetime. It would be a low estimate, a very low estimate for me to say $20 billion. Growing up rich is the dream. Your parents buy you anything you want. You go to the best schools.

You only hang out with other rich kids. You get to party with all the right people. As a rich kid, you never experience any hardship. Life is as good as it gets, or is it? I've always hated how just because someone is born into a family of wealth, people automatically label them as a spoiled brat. Yes, my dad has a private jet, and I love flying in it. Yes, my dad has a mansion and cars, and I love making videos with them. Who wouldn't? But I have never pretended that those things were something that I earned. Just to give people context, okay, so I was born in one of the poorest countries in the world and then I grew up in one of the poorest communities in the United States. I'm fully

aware of the criticism and I've also seen the other side of things, which is like as an adult, you know, most of the people I deal with tend to be, you know, very wealthy individuals or very wealthy families. And so I've seen both sides of the extremes. And after seeing everything, I would say that I have never seen a single person from a poor community, even remotely as mentally ill as kids from rich families, like you can't even compare the two. However much you feel like your parents are might be disappointed in you, you multiply that by a a billion and now you understand what it's like to grow up as a rich kid. So, again, I'm saying this as someone who's been to the extremes of both ends. You just can't compare the two.

I would absolutely, if I had to start life over again, I would absolutely choose to start again in a super poor community. I was pausing right there, Alessi. The rest of my life. Yeah, that's your business manner you were saying yeah how'd you find that guy he watched my channel oh shit wow that's is that the guy we were talking about yesterday yeah oh that's him are we allowed to say what his background was yeah he was the former president of jordan belford's company his modern day companies not stride no mark Not Shroud and Nomework.

That's awesome. But he's making an amazing point because we've all seen these kids. I saw them at different levels of my life. I remember in college where you could tell that there was a kid who went to boarding school and whose mom started drinking at 2 o'clock in the afternoon just to pass the time to pretend her life was good in her fucking mansion. And she's actually miserable and then dragged on to him because he had all these expectations and daddy's out working all the time doing this thing, probably fucking a bunch of other women too. And it just – it has a cascading effect on them and I felt bad for those kids because you could tell that they – it's almost like they weren't – they didn't have that light in their eyes that a lot of other kids have going to college. It was more just like, oh, this is what's expected of me. And I can imagine behind closed doors, a lot of them were miserable.

And most of them end up taking one of these respectable jobs like consulting or finance or whatever because – yeah. And when you go to like one of these super rich boarding schools, you end up just comparing yourself to everyone else. That family gave this kid a Ferrari and I only have a Mustang or something like that. That's crazy. It really warps your perspective. Yeah, yeah. I never understood that and I think that's actually a problem with modern-day society too you know you call it like the instagram effect on everything but people gotta show you what they have or what their drip is and why you know they're it's almost like i'm better than you i'm better than you i'm better than you i've never gotten caught up in that because i'm just like why you know what what the fuck is so wrong with just enjoying life and being a normal

person why do i gotta wear gucci this or versace that like a lot of people i'm not saying nice things aren't nice but a lot of people, I'm not saying nice things aren't nice, but a lot of people are literally buying any nice things they have strictly because of what other people are going to think about it or what they think they're going to think about it. Yeah. And when it comes to those really loud luxury brands, like, you know, the actual rich people don't wear those brands. It's only the aspirational people that, you know, want to come off rich that they'll wear like a giant Gucci logo or something like that. Like the billionaires definitely aren't wearing that stuff remember like the kanye koi's like billionaires don't wear chains

dave chappelle's like put your chain on it is true though like you see these guys though the guys who are really wealthy and are i don't want to say like humble and that wealth but just they don't have anything to prove they're the ones that roll up like you know their fucking shirts sticking out that what the fuck do they care and the people that want to show you are like those new rich people they're like oh i gotta have the ferrari i gotta do this it's very weird what that does to our psychology yeah definitely and to you it made you get blue hair you get blue hair.

Blue hair is funny. I dyed my hair in high school, but I was like broke back then. So I couldn't afford to keep it up. Oh, so this is an OG broke thing. Yeah, yeah. What were you dyeing it in high school? It was like platinum blonde. Platinum blonde. Yeah.

I like the blue. The blue is a good look. Thanks. Yeah. I've done a lot of colors at this point. I seem to settled on blue. Does it damage your hair doing it that much though? I have really thick Asian hair.

That's good. So if you have like really thin hair, it can really damage it. Yeah. But thick Asian hair seems to work. How long does that take to do it? Like 20 minutes? Oh, it's way longer, dude. Way longer.

I waste so much time and money on this. Oh, you're doing it like the salon or something. No, I have a hair stylist person that comes to my place oh yeah bougie a little private person coming in and and you're living out yeah what's uh and and what's going on well uh that's where my parents are um i grew up the second half of my childhood over there. Okay. All right. So it wasn't just in-

You were over there too. Were they in- I'd rather not say. Oh, actually, that's fine. But I'd never been out there. I heard it was a good time. I heard it was fucking insane. It was all right.

It's not my favorite because you know I grew up there. But yeah. It's like like fuck that well i think you know guys like you are showing that as we have been long for a long time now in internet 2.0 really headed to like 3.0 you know the the everyman at home so to speak like you or me can have access to some resources to really go dig into stories like you were saying earlier and research things and actually get like a like a good idea or a good handle of what it is there's a guy recently on the internet ian carroll who's done a ton of content where he's going through and researching things and like i'll look he'll

show some of his i don't know what the fuck you call them but like research charts and models and you know backing the sourcing and all that and it's it's pretty crazy what we can have access to if we really care but the average person doesn't have time to go through and do all that. And it's pretty crazy what we can have access to if we really care. But the average person doesn't have time to go through and do all that. So guys like you are the ones who, you know, they're relying on now to bring them their truth and bring them what's really happening out there so they can learn about it. It's a big responsibility. Yeah, one thing I always believe in is that if you have something that have something that you know, the world should know, then it's your responsibility to make sure it reaches the most amount of people possible.

And the only way to do that is to frame it in an entertaining way because at the end of the day, most people don't actually care that much about learning because if they did, they would read textbooks. They would attend the lectures and stuff. But people care more about entertainment um so we have to use that as like the conduit to like get the right information to people so that's why you know i really strive to make my videos really entertaining for that they are yeah for that reason that's interesting you say that though it makes sense once you get to

the kicker there they're like they're they're more motivated by entertainment i would agree with that i think people do want to learn i think there's too many distractions of entertainment. That's why I think this is effective because like you go to read a textbook. It's not written in an interesting way. There's an attitude you have about it because you're like, oh, they used to make us do this in school. But there can be great information in there and I'm not fucking out there reading textbooks and I'm in content. You know what I mean? Definitely.

And it's like when you make these videos, there's also – you're citing a lot of these sources that include things like textbooks or peer-reviewed papers or stuff that no one would ever read. And you're bringing it to people in a digestible manner, which I think is a huge problem with academia that they don't do that. Yeah, definitely. And what is – like when you go to when you go to start a video what is your research process do you do you have a specific thing you go about or do you kind of let whatever the topic is guide you yeah so the way i go about it is you know i start with broad research and what i mean by that is like we're very broad easy to consume stuff like youtube videos or whatever just to get like a lay of the land, like what the topic is about. And then I go into deeper sources,

like media, I call it like medium sources on that. Take a little bit longer to consume. Maybe those are like books or documentaries or whatever. And then I'll go into really deep sources. Like what's better than a well marbled ribeye sizzling on the barbecue, a well marbled ribeye sizzling on the barbecue that was carefully selectedmarbled ribeye sizzling on the barbecue that was carefully selected by an Instacart shopper and delivered to your door.

And I keep going until I feel like I have enough for a really solid video. And that differs per video. Like sometimes I have to go like really, really deep. Sometimes I don't have to go as deep. And the research process is a little bit faster. So it depends on the topic. Do you also ever have to struggle with, I guess, like finding the conclusion you want to find versus the conclusion that might actually be more evidence-backed, if you will. Yeah, sometimes I go into a video thinking that this is the conclusion, but then I research it and it's not it.

Do you have an example of that? Over the years, we've had a good amount of videos, so nothing comes to mind right now. But it's been like a good amount of videos. So nothing comes to mind right now. But it's been like a decent amount. Right. So you'll basically stop the video if it's not going towards what you want the subject to be and you find that the research isn't there. You're like, all right. I just won't cover it. If it's still interesting enough for a video, we'll definitely still cover it.

But, yeah, if the conclusion is different and it's not interesting enough, then we'll have to can it. Yeah. Now you – i think the biggest one you ever did was the black rock one right is that is it or one of them yeah that's definitely one of the most viewed videos on top of nestle and julian assange oh yeah the joint we'll come back to the julian assange thing that's so fascinating but black rock's an interesting one because it does feel like they're just on top of every meme now where people are like black rock runs the world and everything and it's like i remember when i worked on wall street anyone on

wall street like you touched black rock like they were they were a company involved in everything so it makes sense to me that they're in they're considered at the middle of this whole thing but do you think that this is what i always wonder with it do you think it's more BlackRock, the company, is just this corrupt dungeon, if you will, versus maybe some of the a la like the quiet or rich guys, if you will, like the private equity firms that really hold some sway behind the scenes that people don't know kind of come in and pull the levers with a big behemoth like BlackRock? like black rock i think one extreme advantage black rock has is that since they own a little bit of everything um they just see they just have a like a super like the most detailed view of the economy like you could almost get that's why the government always goes to larry fink and black rock when they need a mess cleaned up, like the 2008 financial crisis. Like when they were arranging all the bailouts, who did they go to? They went to Larry Fink and they gave them the contract to help clean up the economy.

What did those contracts look like? I can't remember, but I believe there were no bid and they just rewarded it to BlackRock. Because if you look at it, if you put yourself in the shoes of the government, like you don't know much about the economy you don't know much about finance so who are you gonna go to you're gonna go to the guy that you know owns a little bit of everything and has like this bird's eye view um same thing happened during covid when they had those uh corporate bond bailouts where the government was buying corporate bonds who they give that contract to they kind of do it themselves uh because they don't know anything so they gave it to blackrock yeah looking at the 08 crisis it was they were stuck between such a shit and a fart there because if they let all these banks crash everything goes to shit no one

there's no even elections no one's getting reelected to anything so everyone loses everything but if they don't let them crash you're basically letting the criminals come in and police themselves, which is what they did. But they did have to pick from like – they let Lehman Brothers crash and then they picked I guess the lightest steaming pile of shit on a pile of shit to come in and clean it up. So you could argue that a bank like JP Morgan, which obviously Jamie Dimon had a lot of influence in that time period, and then places like BlackRock, they were at least better positioned than other banks. So in some ways, I don't fault them for being in that position. But what I do have a problem with is that – and this isn't just banks.

You look at banks. You look at pharma. You look at any major industry. The guys who are at the tip of the spear of these companies, usually on behalf of the company themselves, are paying the people at the government to get in the government, to be the politicians who are going to make the decisions and decide what contracts are filled. Cynically, I look at this and I go, how do we stop this system when all the people who are required to vote on changing the law are put there by the people who don't want the law to change yeah it's definitely a difficult battle and i think at the end of the day it starts with educating the people um because you know before you know before my black rock video no one really knew about black

rock um and this was like the one of the first major in-depth viral videos on it and now most people know about black rock so i think that's part of you know what we're trying to do here is just educating the people more can we pull up that black rock video it's it's such a legendary video yeah i it's i think now on on the internet the one issue is that we can hear a headline with things and not actually know how it works and then blame everything on that. Whereas, you know, there could be more, there's more, there could be more nuance to it. That's why I bring up the PE thing. All right, I'll turn this on. Go ahead. As uncertainty has grown, many banks have restricted lending,

credit markets have frozen, and families and businesses have found it harder to borrow money. We are in the midst of a serious financial crisis and the federal government is responding Yeah. can avoid collapse and resume lending. This rescue effort is not aimed at preserving any individual company or industry. It is aimed at preserving America's overall economy. In January issue, the bailout was far bigger than the Federal Reserve let the public or even members of Congress know in time. During the 2008 meltdown, when the government bailed out too big to fail giants like Bear Stearns, AIG, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, who did they hire to analyze and clean up the mess?

Another giant financial firm by the name of BlackRock, led by a very well connected billionaire by the name of Larry Fink. BlackRock was awarded these key government contracts to help with the meltdown with no competitive bidding while being enveloped in secrecy. Basically, Larry Fink was hired to be the manager of Washington's bailout of Wall Street, even though BlackRock is one of the biggest shareholders in the same banks they were helping to get bailed out, making Larry Fink the most powerful man in the post-bailout economy. Fast forward to the 2020 pandemic.

Rick, quick question for you. So we're just getting word from the Federal Reserve, and this might be boosting the markets even more this afternoon. They are talking about the details of their corporate bond purchases. The Fed making history today and for the first time ever began buying corporate debt ETFs, the unprecedented move driving an explosion in the corporate debt market. We are committed to using our full range of tools to support the economy and to help assure that the recovery from this difficult period will be as robust as possible. But again, as I mentioned, the Fed two weeks ago began buying individual corporate bonds, and we just got granular detail about what types of purchases

it made yesterday. And who did the money printer of the US, the Federal Reserve, hire to manage their scheme to buy corporate bonds? Basically, they were bailing out corporations that had too much debt to withstand the pandemic. You guessed it. They went right back to BlackRock. Even though, again, the same corporations BlackRock was helping to bail out were the same corporations that they own some of the biggest stakes in keep in mind though these are just the top 10 all right pause it there list which who should they have gone to with that in your opinion if they're not going to go to black rock i mean that's the problem yeah who else are you going to go to yeah yeah yeah because they like and i love that we have this chart right up here, Leslie.

Let's put it back to that just so people – we have it paused on this. These are the percentages that BlackRock owns of all these major – we're looking at Toyota, Volkswagen, General Electric, Ford, Daimler, Apple, Verizon, like enormous conglomerates. So they have skin in the game for these guys to not lose value in the stock market, which now here's the devil's advocate. They may have skin in the game themselves, so they don't want to lose money. They want to make money. But there are a lot of mom and pop investors who are invested sometimes, a lot of times through BlackRock or through Vanguard in these same companies who they also don't want to lose value. So in a way, like if I could see it from their end

for a second it's good for everyone in theory for stuff like this to not crash right yeah yeah all the stuff it's definitely in the gray like there's there's some pros there's a lot of cons uh but somewhere in the gray what do you what do you think it what do you think it is do you think a guy like larry fink is just someone who rose up and obviously is CEO of this company and is trying to protect this company for profit? Or do you think that there are more sinister people who are pulling the strings behind him who genuinely understand that what they're trying to do is bad for other people because they just they get off on that you know one thing i saw somewhere is that uh modern day billionaires they are the apex predators like you have to have this like apex predator mindset in order to you know not just stop at 100 million or like 500 million but to go for like multiple billions of dollars and to keep

pushing it's usually like this apex predator mindset where um it's about winning it's about dominating uh kind of like kind of like the rulers of yesteryear yeah yeah yeah i i think that you know i'd be curious to talk to some of these people you know get like a larry fink in the studio yeah and see if if for three hours they could try to be a real person i know like joe rogan's talk with some of these guys who you would maybe put in that category not to like throw shade at all of them but you know i'm talking about like the mark zuckerberg's the mark andrejans the people who are these nuovo billionaires and everything and they do come

across like when you listen to it as like fairly normal or trying to do the right thing, obviously fucking it up sometimes. But the cynic in me goes, you know, maybe they're smart enough that even sitting there for a kind of live back and forth conversation with a popular podcaster like Joe Rogan, they can put on a front and they can make people believe that, yeah, we really want the best for you. And in reality, they don't yeah i don't know about those specific examples but throughout these years what i've learned talking to like these people and talking to people that know these people is uh usually they're they're not what they see yeah yeah how they present themselves in the public who are the types of people without revealing sources and everything who are the types of people without revealing sources and everything? Who are the types of people you talk to and how do you get access to people who are around those people? My channel attracts a very strange audience. So a lot of very interesting people reach out.

That's part of the reason why I love my channel. I've met some really interesting people just through my channel. So I don't want to reveal sources or or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's pretty easy to deduce who I'm talking about and stuff. That's got to be interesting though that a kid making a YouTube channel and doing a little research and making it entertaining has people who are at least around power reaching out and saying, hey, you're in the right direction. Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty crazy. Do they push back sometimes though too and try to tell you you're not?

Let me think of an example. Maybe there are some examples, but nothing comes to mind right now. So usually it's like them saying pretty good. Yeah. Damn. It's a crazy world out there, man. Yeah, definitely. You keep talking about these – the few families that used to run things, and it does seem like today, even though we have that wealth gap and everything in a a smaller wealthy class the average net worth of the wealthy class of say the top 0.1 percent is way higher than it used to be so there's a lot more of these families you know like you might

think the the medicis the rothschilds and stuff like that in the past the asters right and now i i could probably start whipping off 150 that come to mind. Yeah. They're running. So do you think it's like the kind of thing where they go to some fraternity meeting and wear a bunch of masks and fuck each other and say we're running the world together? Do you think it's more like this unspoken, you know, here's how it's going to go? Yeah. I really don't think it's like some typical generic conspiracy thing like people think. I think it's usually just a lot of powerful people with similar incentives that lead them to do similar things that benefit each other.

Similar incentives that do similar things that benefit each other. especially if you look at like the family office and private equity ends of it i brought up a little bit ago those types of forces often intermingle money together right so they may do it within public companies like this or in private bids for things that we don't hear about and so even if these these people aren't actually communicating they have the same incentive structure for i'm just making something right right here – some shitty-for-other-people industry like, I don't know, the food industry to do well, meaning we're going to continue putting cheap processed shit into the food because it's going to make us more money. So they're not sitting here like actually saying we're going to put poison in this, but the end result is they poison people yeah like the food industry has their incentive to make the most profitable food possible that tastes the most addicting and lasts as long as possible on the shelf in order to do that they have to put a bunch of artificial stuff in it that gives us

cancer and stuff uh and the benefit of that is that it makes people more sick which makes them go to the big pharma industry so i'm'm not sure. Maybe there is people like colluding between food and big pharma or whatever other example you want to make. But that's a good example of like just similar incentives that happen to benefit both of them. Yeah, and you've made a whole separate channel on this now. That's really good. Can we pull that up, Alessi, just so people can see this?

So you're digging into the whole health crisis. You've been doing this for a while too. Yeah, and the reason I started this channel was just for like my own personal benefit because i was getting into you know alternative health and learning about how screwed up the food and everything else in contact with us is in america um so part of this was my own personal desire just to uh because i want if you want to accomplish a lot of stuff you have to have energy and what i made my energy is you literally just can't be sluggish throughout the day and to do that you really have to focus on your health and stuff so i was getting into this for myself and i just saw

a really big gap that there was no premium documentary channel making videos about this so i made evil food supply um i think we hit like 100k subs in around three months yeah um just because there's a giant need for this and um this was right as this trend of like alternative health was picking up um now it's like really popular oh yeah yeah yeah the robert f kennedy wave came in and everyone's like talking about you see the cali means is the world coming onto the scene but like it shouldn't have taken this long yeah it's pretty weird that i took this long yes they've been putting this shit in food forever yeah you look at the ingredients like when you're reading something it's like i'm making up a word right now but phosphate caloric

five or whatever the fuck like there's no way that that's good for you it's a chemical it's a preservative and yet we've normalized this stuff to the point that you know things that used to be like oh you could treat yourself with mcdonald's 50 years ago and you know it's not good for you but like you're gonna be okay versus now where they're where instead of i guess like beef tallow back then now they use fucking seed oils everywhere and we wonder why we're all poisoned yeah and like you've seen the pictures of like mcdonald's hamburgers lasting for like 50 years or something crazy like that.

Yeah. There's no way that's good for you. Um, and it's pretty interesting. Cause I remember like before I learned all of this, I also thought, you know, processed food is probably okay. It's not, it can't be that bad for you. How did you eat growing up? Like what, what were your, what were your parents' nutritional standards?

Like a mix of Vietnamese food, like home-cooked Vietnamese food, and just like processed stuff. Like the typical cheap stuff you buy as like a poor family, like Pop-Tarts and stuff. Sure. I mean, we all had that stuff at some point. My mom was even a nutritionist, and once in a while, some of that stuff would make their way to the household. But I think I had it really good compared to everyone else. But like did you – you talk about you being interested in having energy do what you do for self-improvement and things like that but did you

like suddenly notice that like oh my god like i'm sluggish when i eat this or i have a problem when i do that or i have this little health knack right here that might be caused by what i'm putting in my body and then when you made changes did it did those things reverse yeah i'm not sure how i originally like stumbled upon this little thing but um the biggest change i saw was definitely cutting out processed food you just feel way more awake and like you know this is how life should be yeah um once you cut that stuff stuff out so i think that's definitely step one for everyone i think the next step is uh getting your hormones and micronutrients tested because things like testosterone or all the other hormones, these are like building blocks that dictate all the important functions in your body. Like whether your cells keep fat or expel more fat than it keeps,

all that's dictated by hormones. And most people don't really even know about their hormone levels, even though they're just that important. So getting my hormones levels tested and my micronutrient levels tested, like vitamins and minerals, because the vitamins and minerals are what build hormones. And because of how depleted, like nutrient depleted our food is today, most people are deficient in something i believe i believe the number is like 90 of people are deficient in something or like multiple vitamins and minerals uh and you wouldn't know that unless you test it so me getting like a

blood saliva hair sample test um and then just um eating more of that stuff that i'm missing uh just that alone makes everything easier you have more energy uh when you go to the gym And just eating more of that stuff that I'm missing. Just that alone makes everything easier. You have more energy. When you go to the gym, you actually get more progress. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I've noticed it more than ever over the past year plus because I had like all kinds of health problems.

And I had to – I started getting them fixed with some things that the doctor don't need to go into all that. But that started to improve and all the while i was also focusing more on what i put in my body and doing more research on that and so i started eating very clean over the past year and i immediately noticed my energy levels went up i immediately noticed that like my skin came back and the craziest part is that whenever i'm not at home which you know that we're like everyone else you go out and sometimes you got to go eat on the road and things i'll go look at you know just pull up a normal restaurant to try to get food at or you know whether we're sitting down or i'm trying

to order uber eats and fucking everything on there is a bad option in some way like it's literally baked in to have something processed and i know the next morning when I wake up, my morning is going to be a little longer and a little groggier because of that. Yeah. And on top of that, even if it's like a seemingly healthy thing at a restaurant, they're probably using like cheap stuff. Like Cedars and whatever. Because they're also business incentivized to do that. Yeah. You know, like that's the problem.

Bad food costs very little little good food costs a lot how do we change that um yeah just definitely just cutting out processed stuff and you know there are a lot of videos online showing how you can eat pretty healthy for not that much money just by knowing what to buy at a grocery store so people can definitely look that up i'll have to look that up because i i can't say i've watched any of those videos or read up on that that much. But I look at it through just doing research of like what I can buy and going to the store, looking on Amazon grocery and everything. But like when I go to buy things that are of the earth, they invariably cost more than the shit that's not. And part of the reason we have the processed foods and maybe this is the less sinister way it happens is because it is a cost cutter because you can use that. Food can last way longer.

You can sell more of it, produce more of it. I mean it's just economics. So how do we change that if we don't literally legislate away, which I'm not against this at all. Literally, though, at the government level, legislate away the ability to use any of that stuff, in which case there will be also a mass incentives-based exodus from the food market, the people who provide the food for people to fucking survive, because there will not be the same money or margins in it. I'm not absolutely sure. I'm open to legislation uh i'm also you know the reason why i make this channel is uh if all of us just make better choices it'll yes and vote what our wallet it will just force the companies to uh make healthier choices for less money what do you think of rfk potentially coming in there we're recording on the day where I think we're going to find out if he's confirmed or not.

I love it. You love that? Yeah, I love it. And I hope he gets a lot of work done. It's going to be hard to make a lot of progress in just four years because the government moves very slow. But I hope he makes a lot of progress. Yeah, I mean it's – what's wild to me though is that there's such a massive pushback against him and then you'll look at like previous candidates for the same role. They're voting 90 to 10 for him and they don't do shit.

They don't question any narratives. You literally had Elizabeth Warren saying to this guy in the hearing like trying to get him to commit to not being allowed to sue pharma companies. Like are you fucking kidding me how is she still around man that's what i'm saying like like do you hear yourself you you're trying to protect these people yeah you know that's what and again it comes back to the money that's flown to their pockets but when people i don't know what's going so wrong in society that you know based on the two-party system in this case it's it's elizabeth warren on one side so she's going to have her supporters.

Automatically, 50% of the country is going to be like, yeah, that sounds right to me. That's fucking crazy. Yeah, and now people are like – because people hate RFK. Now they're defending the big pharma companies, the big food companies. It's ridiculous. There's nothing to defend. And maybe it's not, like we were saying,

just purely sinister. Like, oh, let's put all this shit in our food and kill them. Yeah, I think it's purely money. I think it's purely money. Because if you're a food company and you want to make more money, what do you do? You make food that's cheaper

and that lasts longer on the shelf. The only way to do that is to put more and more artificial stuff in there that doesn't expire, doesn't go bad. on the shelf the only way to do that is to put more more and more artificial stuff in there that you know doesn't expire doesn't go go bad um and that is inevitably not good for us yeah what's the what's the worst stuff that that you've researched them putting into our food that people should be aware of um i think everyone who cares about their dog should not buy them kibble dog food because dog food if you if you

think uh human processed food is bad there's way less regulation with dog food and it's like absolutely terrible so uh dogs can dogs can eat raw meat um they're perfectly fine with it it's way healthier for them and like kibble dog food is like the absolute worst thing you could feed them it's literally like cardboard um a lot of them will have like pretty meat pictures on the label there's no meat in there most of the time or maybe like one percent meat the rest is just fillers and like the meat that is in there they're like carcasses that are grinded up with a bunch of trash in them it's really terrible jesus christ yeah so for dogs yeah if you care about your dog feed them like real food like real human food and what are some of the what are some of the like for like human food for human food what are some of the worst

ingredients that are most commonly put into all different types of food um like this whole push back against artificial food dyes is definitely valid. They're really bad for you. They make ADHD in kids worse. How so? I don't know why it makes it worse, but it definitely makes it worse. Can we Google that, Alessi? Food dyes makes ADHD

in kids worse? See if we can pull up something peer-reviewed. They just passed something. Oh, they did. One food dye got banned. Red number three, I believe. But there's a few of these different colors. Alright, that's progress.

Yeah, there's a few of these different colors that are really bad and still in the food supply. Alright, let me just read this real fast. So we have it. The relationship between food dyes and ADHD is complex and not fully understood. Some studies have shown that certain food dyes such ashd is complex and not fully understood some studies have shown that certain food dyes such as yellow 5 tartrazine and red 40 ethrazine can worsen hda symptoms adhd

symptoms in a small subset of children these studies typically involve children with diagnosed adhd who were given food dyes and observed for changes in behavior other studies have found no association okay this is also like google's ai that's probably a little bit unpaid for and yeah and if you think about it like why would you even want food dyes in your food because the only reason they put food dyes in your food is to make the colors brighter so that you buy it yeah because our eyes are trained to want to eat bright food because uh historically that means you know fresher fruit or whatever. Yeah. But they've hijacked that system to make fruit loops look more appealing. That's crazy. Yeah.

And they don't do it in other countries because it's against the law over there. It's against the law. Yeah. And Canada, like literally if you just cross a border into Canada, fruit loops over there look way duller. Processed food over there looks way duller because a lot of these food dyes are banned over there. Yeah.

There was like a whole argument over that, but that's what RFk was trying to point out it was something like 2 versus 19 yeah in the u.s that's that's crazy same with europe for their food coloring they have to use more natural stuff i think one of them is cayenne pepper or something or some natural color red coloring instead of like red number 40 yeah i live i lived in in italy when i was in college for a little bit and i ate like a king there drank a lot of wine did the whole bit i worked out all the time yeah but i felt about as good as i've ever felt probably eating more than i ever did because it was fucking great over there yeah but a lot of it had to do with the fact that the water was fucking clean the foods didn't have these and i know shit about this at the time

this is like me learning later the foods didn't have these ingredients in them it's more natural stuff and like you wonder why some of these people that fucking sit there and drink espressos all day and start drinking wine at four o'clock and you know eat pasta for two meals a day are living longer than us in some cases and and ripping fucking bogues left and right i wonder why yeah at least for pasta specifically their wheat over there is way cleaner because over here our wheat is sprayed with uh pesticide and then they also fortify it with iron but the type of iron that they use uh i believe we're allergic to like most people are allergic to so that's why what yeah that's

why i want to eat bread or pasta made with american, I get like a stuffy nose and I feel terrible. But if I eat pasta that's made with Italian flour, I feel completely normal. So this is them spraying iron on the wheat that's grown in America, you're saying? I don't know if they're spraying it or they're just adding it in at the last part. Okay, can we Google that? This is why I've never heard this before. Yeah, pasta or wheat fortified with iron. Pasta or wheat fortified with iron.

Let's do that. It's perfect. See what we come up with on the Google machine. Let's see if they push this one down on the search results. I just remember RFK talking about glyphosate. It's the biggest problem on all the food. All right. So pasta or wheat fortified with iron is a convenient and nutritious food

that can help with iron deficiency. They're taking the opposite stance. Fortified pasta contains added iron, other vitamins and minerals, and it's giving me all the benefits. All right, scroll down. Let's get away from Google's AI here. All right.

All right, go to the search. So we have pasta or wheat fortified with iron and we'll make a video on this eventually yeah oh so okay so you haven't done yet i like that good call i see iron fortified pasta and wheat can have negative effects including iron overload gastrointestinal issues and increased risk of infection consuming too much iron so that's again this is like kind of bailing it out they're trying to say that it's just well if you have too much of it but what they're not talking about all right here's a study unless you just pulled out wheat flour fortification with iron and other micronutrients for reducing anemia and improving iron status see this is all like improvement stuff they're trying to say but you're saying

that the specific iron that's often used at at least here, is a type of iron. I don't know anything about this. A type of iron that can cause – that we're like allergic to. Yeah, like irritation or whatever on top of that glyphosate. And there's a few other reasons with pasta specifically. Like over there in Italy, they slow dry the pasta. Whereas here, we like fast dry it and that's supposed to be worse. And a bunch of other small reasons like that that just make – that make when you go to Italy and eat food over there, you feel great.

And some Americans even lose weight. Yeah, I often talk about our democracy and freedom being used against ourselves. That can come externally and internally. Because when you have a system that allows total freedom, which I fully support, and I'll take that, the negatives that can still come with that is people can take advantage of that to find loopholes to be able to try to earn the most or be as rich as they can be, and in the process, hurt other people.

Kinsta. Simply better hosting. I think so. Yeah, and where freedom comes, responsibility. On one hand, you can have a lot of regulation like Europe, and you get healthier food, obviously, but you also get less innovation. And if you want freedom, you got to take more personal responsibility too.

Absolutely. And that's the shit or the fart scenario because when you look at both of those slopes, we know where more regulation goes wrong. But then also when you do like a lot less of it or whatever, it invites in – instead of the government being the big, bad person, the buck always stops somewhere where someone will be a bad. So now the big bad billionaire in the private market gets to be the bad person. And by the way, they're the ones paying the government. So what's the real difference? What do your parents think about the research you do? Because they came here from another country to try to live the American dream. How did they view all this?

That's a good question they always had the like very traditional mindset like the government's good um there's nothing bad about our food blah blah but you know because they love me they always watch all my videos so they inevitably learn these things and they've come more to accept like these alternative views. Like my dad was talking about – he watched my middle class video that you talked about. And yeah, he was like, yeah, it's crazy how college trains you not to think and be ready for a job. Even though he like pushed me to go to college and everything. So I'm glad they're seeing the other side. Yeah, there's this – I talk about this all the time, but there's like this plan

that we're sold in society. You've already referenced it and it's something everyone out there understands, but we're told you do this, then you do that, then you do that, then you do that, then this happens, then you retire, you have enough money to survive and you look at the sun and you wait to die. And it's almost like, it feels like a hamster wheel when I look at it. Now, there's some people who they'll go about that process of life, you know, get the respectable job, find the right girl at the right age, you know, have the kids rise up in the ranks as much as they can save for their 401k, retire and then do the thing. And they're perfectly happy. And that's

fine. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. But the idea that like society is purposely with, you know, the few puppeteers at the top trying to push everyone to do that and then making people many people miserable in the process with something like college where they've ballooned costs over the years taken down the quality you know taken away the ability for that degree to do much for you and yet you're told if you don't do that you're a fucking idiot there's something very very like the incentive structures are very off there yeah it's horrible and you know people people get into like tens of thousands of dollars of debt hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt and you can't

cancel it in any way when you know every other debt if you go bankrupt you can cancel it but um i believe the law was changed in 2004 or something to where now college that you can't cancel it with bankruptcy you what wait what was that you can't cancel college debt when you go bankrupt unlike every other type of debt whoa yeah and that was just changing like 2004 or something that now that something like that straight up feels sinister yeah it's like why are you just picking this one which is the one that you're trying to convince everyone they should be forced to get anyway yeah and on top of that you know you're starting onto this that when you're like 18 yeah you're an idiot yeah so yeah college is definitely terrible yeah and like and here's the thing it forms an attitude in society where everyone says

this and what that does is it's the equal but opposite reaction, which says, so we should have none of it. I think that's a terrible idea too. I think that there are various college educations out there by degree, so to speak, not even necessarily by university, that it is very useful. And we need to have an educated society. We should strive to have something more but we've pushed people so far in the other direction because of how dumbed down we've made it that now we're gonna have a lot of people who are like you know fuck college we shouldn't have any of this and that creates a completely uneducated society so you see what i mean like there should be some middle ground there no

yeah i think if you want to be a doctor a lawyer something like that where you absolutely have to go to college, then yeah, college is definitely the right option for you. But for everyone else, I would definitely question why you're actually going. Is it just to please your parents? Is it because I don't know what to do with my life, so I'm going to sign on to $50,000 of debt that I'm not going to pay off for like 50 years? I would just push people to question that. Sure. Yeah. Now you're a smart guy.

Like you figure out a lot of things yourself, but even for someone like you, who's way above average in the smart category, do you not think that even if you weren't becoming a lawyer or doctor or something like that, that if you went to a place where you actually had good professors, forget the cost for a minute, that could guide you in directions that you can't necessarily just find on your own automatically, that there wouldn't be some value there? Yeah, I think the biggest value I see in college is some Ivy League school like Harvard or whatever where the networking is actually definitely worth it.

Oh, yeah. Because you see a lot of actual successful people come out of those schools. And a lot of them are rich parents. So you get connected with these rich kids. Yep. So I think there's definitely value in that. And yeah, some professors have really affected my life in a positive way. So I definitely see value in that but you know in most of these cases

if you're going and you're just going to go and you don't have like any actual direction um i think it's a pretty bad decision to sign up sign on to all that debt yeah i like you said you're fucking 17 18 years old what do you know i remember the first three videos i did the first three episodes of the podcast were literally on like the college debt scandal, which that's what I'll call it. It's like a scandal. What's happened here? And once you actually dig into the numbers of what kids are being asked to take on and then I came from the finance world, so I know at least a thing or two about interest rates. Damn well, I'm not an expert on all that, but I could tell you like, you're signing something that says you know fucking seven percent when you're 17 and you're gonna go get a gender studies

degree and have a fucking 35 000 a year job in new york coming out of college and you think the math's gonna math on that yeah it's like i don't people want to say well you should have known what you're doing i was a fucking idiot when i was 17 18 how the hell would i like i i'm being told you gotta go to college have a good time fucking you get the job, get the degree and drink, smoke and fuck on the way. Like that's what you're supposed to do, college, baby. Like how do you change that when the kids are expected to just do that? Like we're suddenly going to be like, no, you don't have to go? Well, I think things are changing right now.

Like a lot more people are waking up to how bad college is a lot more students are questioning it um and yeah on that point with the interest rates yeah the stock market goes up by like an average of 10 per year uh yeah all those wonderful stories of uh compound interest that you hear it works in in the opposite direction too with debts. If you have like 7% debt and like the example is if you earn 7%, you're going to become a millionaire in 50 years. The opposite is also true. You're going to be in debt by like a million. Yeah. I used to, when I worked on Wall Street before I did this, I used to talk to clients and I'd say, if I lose, fuck, it's been a while. I'm going to make sure I get this right. But if I lose 50% on $100, what do I have? $50. Right, and that's what they'd all say. And I'd say, okay, so now what percentage do I have to make to get it back to 100?

100. Right. So what I would explain is I'm like you're hurt on the compounding on the downside more than you're helped on the upside when it swings in that direction. Yeah. And so you don't think that you see – like you said, you see 6%, 7%. You're like, oh, I can handle that. Well, what happens when that suddenly balloons into something that looks more like 60 within three years? Yeah. Can't handle that at that point. Now you're underwater. And then you have like Biden came in and one of the promises that he was trying to get through, kept on getting changed or whatever, was like canceling student debt. And so now you – and this is where it gets tough because you now suddenly have the government trying to step in with money that they don't really have to do this while also canceling the debt of kids when a bunch of other kids paid off their debt yeah

and so if you paid off all your debt and then suddenly you know everyone else got the handout with it i could see i'd be pissed about that too yeah i would definitely be pissed you know and it's like i guess that like are there any other ways you could possibly handle it i'm not sure i'm not sure you know back once upon a time there was no such thing as student loans so college was really affordable and uh i believe the way they started doing it is because uh during the cold war they needed more students uh they needed more people who were trained professionally to make the weapons of war that they would need to win the Cold War.

So that's when the government first incentivized and gave grants or student loans directly from the government. And it was very limited too. Only a few students got it. It wasn't a very large number at all. But once those first student loans came about from the government um the colleges saw this and they saw just how many more students they got because now students weren't paying with their money they were paying

with government money so they were uh they just got more customers so that's when they pushed the government to you know scale up the student loan program to make them more accessible to more people because that would get them more customers that would get the more customers and it created this like um self-fulfilling cycle of like prices going up and more student loans coming about uh at the detriment of all the students out there yeah and you've also had a massive swing at colleges with, I wouldn't even like call it politics versus just like losing your fucking mind where there's these such thing as a gender. There's no such thing as race or, you know, everyone's racist or shit like this. When, you know, you're supposed to go to college to debate things and to challenge ideas and to be a part of those forums. And yet over the last decade or so, that's completely shifted to where,

you know, you have a lot of colleges telling, you know, this is how you have to think. And they're doing it overtly. It's not hidden're they're telling you this is what it is yeah and on top of that um since now you know all these students have a bunch of money to spend at college um now you see colleges turning into like resorts where they have like water parks they have water parks like there are colleges with lazy rivers and like come Come on. Literally like water slides and like culinary food. So because like how are you going to sell students to go to your college versus the others? It's a business. Yeah.

Yeah. Students don't care as much. They're not going to be incentivized as much by like better learning. But they are going to be incentivized by water parks and luxury food and stuff like that. Yeah. I mean you even see it like schools are trying to build up their athletic programs now they're spending fucking millions of dollars on these nil contracts for 18 year olds to come in and pay them four or five million dollars just

to be good on on the sports team because that can sell people to come there yeah it's competitive and none of that goes towards your actual education that you're going there for no yeah no and that's that's where it goes like because i don't think like this that's not how i would make the decision but i do remember when i was going to like visit colleges you are still there's a party that's human and you're looking at like well how how much fun does this place seem so you know if there's again there's no like legislation on you can't put lazy rivers and at fucking colleges people someone's going to come up with the idea and be like, well, what if we did that? And some fucking donor is going to be like, yeah, let's do it.

And maybe the intention is not bad, but the end result is like what the fuck are you doing? Making a theme park out of some place where there's supposed to be learning done here? And maybe they're going to have like fucking Black Lives Matter signs floating down the lazy river? Like come on. It's wild what we've done. I've been looking at this one all day, by the way, because I have not watched this video. And it looks like – do you have it on popular tab, Alessi? Yeah, you do.

The cafeteria one? No. Well, we'll come back to that one. But the second one right there, I've not watched this. Fluoride? It's your second most popular. Why is there – Evil History of Fluoride? Hold on.

Let's watch it. It's exclusive fluoride compound. World second most popular why is there floor evil history of fluoride hold on let's watch it my nose it's exclusive fluoride compound world's greatest weapon against decay former employees of occidental chemical corporation have filed a lawsuit against the company they say they have life-threatening diseases like leukemia emphysema and toxic brain syndrome for years doctors struggled to diagnose them But finally they found a common link. It was fluoride It's a byproduct that they can't do anything with it's a poison so they sell it you allow Industry to use your water supply to dispose of their hazardous waste. It was a scam from the get-go It is a means of getting rid of fluoride. It's a disposal mechanism.

It's bizarre. Fluoridation is the worst recycling practice in the world. So, you're Alcoa in the 1930s, a giant corporation that makes products out of aluminum. And honestly, you've created some pretty amazing things. Tea kettles, foil, airplane parts. But one thing that sucks about manufacturing aluminum is that it's a super messy process. Because guess what? Raw aluminum doesn't come all perfect and soft and ready to be molded into a frying pan. It needs to be chemically processed and broken down. And this chemical process produces a lot of highly toxic chemicals like ammonia, methane, and fluoride. And we're not talking about the

natural fluoride that occurs in caves and stuff. We're talking about an artificial man-made fluoride compound that is way more toxic. Like, really, really toxic. Hydrofluorosilic acid does not occur in nature. It's a man-made molecule. And it eats through concrete, glass, stainless steel, fiberglass, plastic. You name it, it'll eat it. The problem is, it would be super expensive to dispose of this toxic fluoride in a safe and responsible way.

So, what's a 1930s factory owner to do why not pipe into the air or dump it in the river I mean come on it's 1930s this is the dawn of the industrial age and they're still doing it today no one cares that factories are dumping toxic chemicals into the river no one even knows what the long-term effects of these industrial waste chemicals are They're too busy making up for prohibition or whatever people did in the 30s. So as the years went by, you continued to flood the rivers with this fluoride waste. And everything was going fine and dandy for decades. Until things started to go south. See, you've been dumping fluoride into the air and water for over 30 years now, and people were starting to notice.

Alcoa factory workers were showing symptoms of poisoning from the fluoride gases. Oh, my God. Cows from nearby farms were getting really weak. They couldn't even stand on their own anymore, and local dentists were starting to notice strange brown stains and chipping on the teeth of children who live nearby.

Fluoride is starting to get bad press, and if that bad press continued, everyone would start connecting the dots to you and your fluoride river dumping frenzy. If that happens, you're going to be buried with expensive lawsuits. So pay the lobbyists. It would be the end of you. So if you want to survive this and thrive, So pay the lobbyists efforts known to mankind.

It's why today fluoride has seeped into everything. It's in your toothpaste. Chemical. You're going to put some chemical in my mouth? All right, pause it there. People, I'm going to be finishing this video later. That's fucking incredible. I love this video so much.

You'd be standing there watching the whole thing. So I remember as a kid, like one of the things that Dennis told us to do was use fluoride rinse. Yeah. And I luckily hated it. So I would usually like fake doing it a lot. I'm very grateful I fake did it a lot. So my mom would be like, did you do your rinse? Yeah.

I didn't. But that's fucking crazy that that's in the 2000s. Yeah. As a kid, 70 years after this, they're literally, not only are they covering it up, putting it in rivers and shit that they're apparently still doing, but they've now told us, oh, no, it's actually – you should voluntarily put the actual thing in your mouth because it's going to help you. I'm not sure if fluoride actually helps your teeth or not, but what I do know for sure is that if it does help your teeth, why would we need to swallow it in our water supply? It's very strange. Yeah. So they, yeah, they're still putting fluoride in our water supply today.

That's why you should not drink tap water. Does my Brita get it out? I don't think so. Fuck, I've used it three times. It doesn't get it out? I don't think so, no. So how do you drink water? You buy bottled water?

Yeah, I get like glass spring water delivered to me. Like glass five-gallon jugs. I need your income. That's what I need. You get glass. So how do you know where that comes from? It's spring water. So the brand is called Mountain Valley.

Not sponsored by them or anything. But it's like spring water from America, from the Wichita Mountains or something. And so they're getting it. How's that? All right. I don't know shit about this. How do we know that that is not infected with some sort of water that, you know, flowed into it that had fluoride leaks? That's probably the answer to that.

I don't know. But this is the best I've got so far. And the other option is getting a reverse osmosis filter. Reverse osmosis. Can we Google this, Alessi? Reverse osmosis filter? I don't have a brand to recommend or anything. Okay.

I just don't know what that is. Yeah. It goes under your sink, and it uses the osmosis process to separate water from everything else. So that's how you get like really clean water from your tap. Reverse osmosis. All right.

We have one of those? Yeah. God, that looks like a fucking pipe bomb. There's a good photo. It looks like that. Yeah, it's usually one of those with the three tubes. Yeah.

All right. So feel confident with every sip that you are providing the best quality water for you and your family. The Aquifer Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System effectively reduces contaminants including arsenic. That's nice. Fluoride, TDS, bacteria, viruses, lead, mercury, chlorine, and pharmaceuticals in your cold water. So it's that. I always wonder if this is like you got to read the fine print though and they're like we try it's not like how do you because

i don't know like how microscopic this stuff is but i do think about that shit a lot more now like if you look at even just like a water fountain you're like where what do the pipes look like down there yeah forget like where it came from what did the pipes look like down there? Yeah. Forget like where it came from. What do the pipes look like down there? What do the pipes look like under the fucking street that that came from? Where did it flow from? Did it come from the Jersey City Reservoir over here? That doesn't look like the greatest thing ever. You know what I mean?

And yet, I drive past that and people are fucking lighting crack pipes right next to it and tossing it in. So it's like how do you at some point you know a society has to function and obviously we don't want to be alcoa shout out alcoa dumping fucking fluoride in the water but there's always going to be something yeah right hey you just gotta do your best um you're never gonna get rid of all the bad stuff in your environment probably um but yeah you just do do the best you can and keep improving from there yeah and uh yeah there are pictures of pipe water pipes in america and they're very disgusting like super super grimy can we type in example of water pipe in america grimy water pipe tap water

pipe grimy this is gonna make me never i drink like 150 ounces of water a day. It's going to make me not want to drink it. I don't know if I want to see this. Go to Google Images. There's probably more. Yeah, stuff like that. Oh, God. And your water's flowing through that. Yeah. This isn't guaranteed to be everyone's pipes,

but do you want to risk it? I don't. That's definitely my pipe. You should – I just had not the flowing in, the flowing out. This building is like 20 years old or something. I just had to – I had a blockage in the pipe out there. So I went down there to change the pipe. And when I pulled it out – I have a video of it, but I don't have it on me right now. Fucking, like, it hadn't been touched in 20 years.

It was just, like, gunk and grime. So there's no way that they touched it on the other end, which means it may not be fully blocked like that. But I hope that fucking bread is working. That's all I'm saying. Jesus Christ. Do you ever just, like, look at shit in some of the research you do and just like close the book and say that's enough internet for today for really extreme stuff like

like china forced organ harvesting that was pretty graphic what forced organ harvesting yeah so in america you, organs are in high demand. If you're sick, you're going to do anything you can to get an organ. But in America, we have rules where you can't force organ harvest, organs from people. That's a good rule.

So the organ wait list is super, super, super long. Even if you're rich, it's really hard to get an organ fast over here. So why not go to a country that has less rules? Like, you know, China. Where, because these organs

go for so much money, we're talking like tens of thousands of dollars, maybe even hundreds of thousands for some parts. You can look it up. There's a very high incentive in a place like china for them to like force take organs from people uh and sell it on the black market now is that the government doing it or criminal elements doing it it might be the government

because i believe they're getting it from prisoners a lot yeah especially like political descendants like the uighur people and stuff like that oh yeah yeah you've done video on the uighurs right yes yeah definitely what's the update there people and and for people that don't have contacts out there can you just explain what that is yeah so you know the west part of china it's filled with these uh these people called the uighurs they're a a Muslim minority in China. China took over this part of the land some time ago.

And now they're part of China. But they don't look Chinese. They look like these Asian Muslims. And that region is called the Xinjiang region. It's super, super, super valuable to China because of all the raw minerals in there

and all the cotton fields and stuff like that. So China is incentivized to turn that region more Chinese, more culturally Han Chinese. So they get Han Chinese to move there and then they have these concentration camps, like literal concentration camps. Like not just drawing around the term it's an actual yeah where they round up the uighur muslims they put them in these camps uh and then they literally brainwash them to be more chinese and to get rid of their uighur kind of like culture

what when you say brainwash them what types of things do they do? You can look up videos of this. Like Uyghur camp. Uyghur concentration camp. And it's really, really creepy. There's videos of them getting forced to dance and learning Han Chinese. And they'll get beat and stuff. It's really terrible. Do you got one, Aless? I don't know if it's showing them dancing or anything.

Let's see. Yeah, because this was like a highly censored topic for a long time. Yeah. Okay. I can't show audio. Oh, you can't do audio because it's BBC, right? Good call. See, my man's on the copyright thing over here.

We need that. Definitely. That's why he's here. So are we – are those wiggers right there? Well, obviously these ones aren't, like, in a camp. Yeah, and... Yeah. Oh, yeah.

This is a... Oh, yeah. Fuck. I see what you're saying. I believe if there's audio... I believe they're singing Chinese. Because I've seen this video before. Okay.

I can't remember specifically. But I believe this is a... It might be... Like a pre-planned visit to show the bbc that we're not doing anything terrible here so i think that's why they're in their weirder cultural clothes interesting okay and all right shufu camp jinjang reason and yeah the the whole entire point of these camps is to number one make them more culturally Han Chinese to get rid of their Uyghur heritage and culture. And the other reason is they need labor. For any big country, labor is one of your big bottlenecks.

So if you can get free labor with slaves, then that's obviously very profitable for you. So they're forced to like work work on cotton fields a lot of the cotton for clothes you get from china come from the xinjiang region uh from their cotton fields and they do like other labor projects and i believe it's still happening today we just kind of forgot about it yeah well it's like what was the chamath line that's below my line you ever seen that video i don't think so no it was i i don't want to explain the whole thing it's a separate thing but chamath palpatine had a he just said i understand exactly what he's trying to say but he said it like the

wrong way and it became a meme where he's like the uyghur genocide below my line he didn't mean it like that but you know it is the kind of thing where it's like oh it's not in our backyard here ccp bad all right whatever yeah and we go about our day whereas if this was happening here there'd be fucking riots everywhere yeah you know what i mean but like the the chinese government is buying so much economic influence around the world that we see all these organizations globally that won't even talk about the things they do because they're afraid to lose the funding yeah so who's really in charge if that's happening because obviously like we still got the most powerful military we

still do have the highest gdp and all that but there seems to be an influence that is starting to creep beyond ours in some way as to how you know consensus is reached so to speak yeah definitely american military is still definitely the most powerful uh but yeah china's starting to get a lot of influence um you see actors not wanting to criticize china because john cena yeah because uh if they do their movie't going to get played through to billions of people. So a lot of money is on the line for people. Yeah. I've seen like Steve Kerr won't talk about China, but he'll talk about every fucking problem we have here.

And I'm cool with him talking about problems here. But it's like, oh, now your contract depends on it. So you're not talking to – it's just – it's so uncomfortable. Yeah. You know? And like the NBA had that huge problem with – they had games blacked out in China for a long time because of one tweet that daryl morey sent yeah and there were people like daryl you shouldn't have said anything yeah it's like what the fuck are we doing yeah i really liked the guy sean ryan had on the show former director of the world bank where he talked about how um china their culture is purely about success so you got to do whatever you can to get success

even if that means you know screwing over other countries screwing over foreign companies um so i think at a base level that's kind of the origins of why china is kind of like this but it's also hand in hand with the government no yeah like all all the major companies are are state sponsored so it's like they kind of decide who the winners are or is that oh that's too simple of a way of putting it oh definitely um because if they don't like you they're definitely going to crush you like there's been so many corruption like quote unquote corruption crackdowns in china uh like jack ma is a great example yeah didn't he like disappear for a while? Yeah, he, so most famous man in China. Alibaba guy.

Yeah, richest guy in China by far. And then he gives a talk at like some press conference or something. And if you watch the talk and you look at the translation, he didn't even say anything that critical of the Chinese government. It was just like a slight criticism. Nothing like you see here of people criticizing the American government. And just for that, he disappeared for months. And then he shows up randomly

on a video giving a talk to a tiny little school. And he became completely irrelevant. Just like that. They threw him in with the Uyghurs. You know, got a little three-month vacation. Something like that. And now you never the uyghurs yeah you know got a little yeah three month vacation yeah something like that now you never hear about him you never and and there was even they'll do this with their government people i forget the guy's name oh

hu jintao he was the dude before xi jinping yeah you ever seen that video like two and a half years ago where they just ripped them out of that fucking communist party meeting behind jinping yeah i remember that yeah has he been can we google that hu jintao has he been seen since then like it's it's on it's on screen in front of everyone and no one says anything i mean it's not that no one said anything about it but it's like whatever i i don't that's crazy i haven't even looked it up to see if he's been seen since hu jintao yeah that was when it was this was like october maybe 2022 i want to say when this happened but has he been seen since then oh yeah google has has hu jintao

resurfaced we talked about this when i did a crossover yeah with danny and and andy bustamante jim d oreo in november 2022 we talked about this but i never like see him getting guided out he's like hitting xi jinping like dude what the fuck is going on and she's like nah we're good fam let's go with him and no one even turns around to look at him yeah they're all just like completely accepting it oh yeah they said they found him all right where is he so china's ex-president first appearance since being escorted out from Congress. What date is this? December 6, 2022. So about a month and a half later, former Chinese leader Hu Jintao was seen in public for the first time since he was dramatically escorted out of a top Communist Party meeting where he paid respects to his late predecessor, Jiang Zemin, on Monday in October.

Hu was lifted. Chinese state media later said Hu had been feeling unwell. It looked perfectly fine before these fucking guys in masks grabbed him. But his obvious reluctance to leave the hall prompted speculation over whether political factors were at play. On Monday morning, he appeared with the other top leaders at the Chinese People Liberation Army's General Hospital in Beijing to pay their final respects to Zhang before his cremation. So they let him live. That's nice. Yeah.

Yeah. I wonder what camp he was in. Yeah. Yeah. Hopefully one for old people. Or, you know yeah i wonder what camp he was in yeah yeah hopefully one for old people or you know they need a little help or whatever it doesn't look like he moves too well but you had started this talking about like the forced organ harvesting and they were doing this to prisoners and like uyghurs and stuff so are you saying like sometimes they would just straight up kill someone because they're taking organs they need and then other times maybe they're taking a kidney where they don't die but it's like completely against their will is it both i think it's both i think more common is probably

they still live and they just wake up what what a missing organ laughing but like that's fucking horrible yeah there's my my friend remi adeleke who had on the show for episodes 157 and 158 he's done he's an ex-navy seal guy and he among a lot of other things he's a director and actor in hollywood and all that and so he made a short film called the unexpected a couple years ago that and this is based off his own experiences and seeing some things and secondhand from some of his guys but that shows an example of how organ harvesting happens. And it starts with, he shows it backwards. He tells the story backwards. It starts with a rich American family in Mexico, waiting out in a waiting room. And a doctor comes out and says, congratulations,

the surgery went great. Your son has his new heart or whatever. And they're like, oh, thank God. And it shows where that heart came from. And it from – I won't give it away but another type of group like a Uyghur in a different country, different context where it was completely taken against their will and there was a whole like human trafficking line that went into it. And I asked Remy. I'm like, how common is this? And he's like, very. I'm like, so this is happening all over the place. And not a lot of people are talking about it he's like yeah that's the problem yeah because if you look at the wait time for an organ in america it's

very long but if you look at the wait times for organs in china it's shockingly short and the only way you can have short times is if you uh you know kill the person on demand or harvest it on demand yeah do you think that they're that china's like the biggest threat on the geopolitical stage to the u.s i think so just on a gdp basis not just that but like ideologically they're just completely in the opposite direction of what you know we believe is like the right way to live life and they're willing to do whatever it takes what are your i mean you're you're obviously not from china but you're from vietnam there's a lot

of smaller countries like vietnam around there who are kind of under the shadow of China. Like what's the attitude? I don't want to like put all Vietnamese people in one bucket or here or whatever. What's the attitude of Vietnam towards a country like China right now? Well, it's important to keep in mind that Asians are very racist to each other. Well, I'm glad you can distinguish the difference yeah like uh koreans hate japanese i think most people hate japanese actually why is that because like japan was very imperial imperialistic yeah and like they conquered manchuria china korea etc um yeah most people don't like china either vietnam, most people don't like China

either. Vietnamese people usually don't like China. Because there's like the whole imperialistic history of China conquering Vietnam and stuff. But yeah, all Asians kind of have disdain towards each other. At least

from like a general cultural thing. about like towards america though vietnam's a good example because we literally fought this like insane war we should have never fought there that wasn't that long ago like how did how did vietnamese feel about that obviously your parents came here but still yeah you know it's interesting because you go to vietnam today it's uh and you go to saigon ho chi minh city, the biggest city, and it's very Americanized. There's like American English signs everywhere because they want to attract American tourists and stuff.

And everyone wants to come to America. That's wild. Yeah. And a lot of Vietnamese were allowed into America during the Vietnam War. And so there's a really big vietnamese community in america so everyone feels like pretty fondly of america that's it's crazy how fast that can turn but they're still like yo fuck that country next to us though yeah yeah we love america even

though they brought the whole fucking international heroin trade here yeah with a fifth 10 15 year war whatever it was that's that's crazy but you know we we can look at these countries like china and righteously be very upset about the slave labor they do and and torturing people like the uyghurs and all that yet it does a part of it always feels a bit hypocritical to me because even though we don't do slavery here in any way we are utilizing slave labor around the world including including in those places for a lot of our major multinational corporations to profit on. Yeah. I mean no country is perfect. But if I were to have to choose between China and America, I would definitely choose America.

Hey, I would too. I'm not arguing. I'm just saying like we're supposed to be that beacon of like an example. But the economic incentives at that level will make us turn a blind eye. Yeah, playing devil's advocate to your argument at least is not the government doing it on a mass scale like China. Yeah, better for billionaires to do it. Yeah. That's right. Yeah. But it's tough because like it's another thing you can't really even talk about. Even Elon and Tesla, I think, they rely on the cobalt mining.

We know what happens over there with that. So how do you deal with that? But at the same time, it's like, well, if you don't have that, how do you make electric cars and try to better humanity? Something humanity has to lose? Do they have to lose like that? There's got to be a better way. Yeah, definitely. I don't know.

That's why I'm a podcaster. I don't have to answer all these questions. I just have to ask them so that smart people can try to answer them. Same here, man. Right? I get that. Like you're not – and I like that. You're not a guy who's like I know every fucking thing we have to do here.

You're more identifying, well, this is wrong. So maybe there could be a better way here. And that's a good way to be because, you know, if we all had answers for these fucking world problems, we wouldn't be sitting here on microphones. Yeah. I feel the exact same way. Yeah. Now, what's the deal with like a lot of the stuff you dig into does come back to like lobbying, right? Because we've been talking about this today. Private sector pays off the government to get their preferred candidates in there, and then they get to influence this just pure economic protection, or do you think there could also be, I don't know, foreign interest funding in industry like that that are purposely trying to make us fuck ourselves up like a reverse opium war, if you will? yeah i think that china is definitely involved in that stuff um and i think you know the way

lobbying works is that bribery has always been a thing but you know in america we can't be over with it we can't just openly bribe a politician with like a suitcase full of money um so you have to be you have to go through a little bit more hoops here like in the third world country you you would literally just give the politician a suitcase full of cash and that's good enough. But here, you have to jump through more hoops. So, for example, let's take like a normal politician. You can't give them money directly. When it comes to lobbying, there's campaign donation limits. um so what you do is if that politician has a brother uh that has a construction company or

something uh you give that brother a bunch of money in business or whatever and then uh that politician you know we think people want money what people actually want is what money gets you so if you can give a give the brother of a politician a yacht and the politician gets to use that yacht as if it was his own yacht, then you effectively bribe the politician without directly giving the politician money. So that's kind of how it works.

You have to go do hoops like that. You backdoor it. Yeah. Yeah. It's crazy. You said it earlier that people respond to the same things they responded to in the Middle Ages, and it's entirely true.

Yeah. There's just a more advanced way of doing it or more hoops you got to jump through, but they do the same things. Yeah, these days you got to worry about the appearance of things. Yeah, 100%. Do you think that – first of all, are you a religious guy in any way? Not really. I grew up Buddhist. Oh, you did? Yeah. What goes into that? I don't have a lot of buddhists

come through here i don't know man you we go to the temple for chinese new year and then my mom does her thing and prays uh i she never really passed it on to me she never forced it on to me she felt no connection to it at all and do you do you think what do you think it all is are you atheist are you agnostic i'm agnostic there's definitely something out there um is it like these pre-determined religions that were written recently i don't know yeah yeah what do you think i mean i'm i'm humble in the face of what i don't know i'm very, right? I don't necessarily like label myself as anything. I absolutely believe that there is a God and I don't know where God is or how far up that is. I think that in all the ancient texts that we can get our hands on, there could be very interesting lessons and some things that are historical fact. I think that any organized religion though could

absolutely be corrupted and is corrupted by power over the years to change narratives. So I have to know what I know and more importantly, not know what I don't know about that. And so I remain open-minded to it. I certainly think that there's things that happen after this, but while I'm here, I got to be a good person, treat other people well, and I'm going to answer for that someday in some way. And when I pray, I'm kind of praying into the universe to wherever that is. And I have a lot of comfort and peace in that, but I like asking people about it because different people have different beliefs and I'm open to all of it. So, you know. Yeah. You know, maybe someday I'll turn religious, but just, I don't really feel a need you for it right now and one side thought that i

always had is you know what if you know the universe is in a fractal fractal yeah like where you know cells kind of look like a planet um and if you zoom out maybe the galaxy is just a fact the the universe is just a fractal of like yes one cell in like another big thing so that's right who knows what what the truth is it's like the end of men in black when they when they dump the the you ever seen that where like the marble it becomes the marble and it's being dumped into a little jar with all these other fucking million marbles and then some aliens like playing with it or whatever yeah i think it could yeah i just had a guy riz verkin here who is a genius simulation hypothesis guy and man when he gets going and talking about that you start it gets stressful because you're

like holy shit like this could just be layers on layers on layers and we don't have control over i mean it's scary like i'd like to think we do have control over what we do and there is a reason that like good and evil fight each other you know what i mean it's all for something yeah so it gets it gets stressful to think about but i ask that because like obviously you're coming up against a lot of powerful organizations and everything that you research and inevitably you know you're coming across ancient or whatever you want to call it like traditional religious sects as well and and what they what kind of influence they have so like you know something like the vatican comes up in here a lot. Do you think an organization like that – I'll call it an organization – still holds tremendous sway that we can't see that maybe is in the middle of a lot of stuff you look at? I believe the Vatican Bank is still very powerful. Yeah. I don't know much about this topic, but I have heard that they're still very powerful.

You ever read Gerald Posner's book, The Vatican Bankers? I don't think so. You got to read that. Okay. Yeah. You're going to go down that. You're going to make a video on that. Once you read that, I couldn't agree more. Like they have such unbelievable influence and it really makes you cynical about how how that catholic church is used for power and and like yeah there's a lot of bad stories in world war ii that tie directly

to like their financial interests yeah where it is exactly what it looks like they let certain things happen and made some weird alliances because that was the thing to do at the time that's tough yeah and i've always been interested in what they could be hiding down there, but I'm not super sure. You think they've got the aliens down there? I don't know. What do you think on the whole alien thing? You think the whole thing's a psyop?

You think some of it's a psyop? You think it's real? I think the Jersey thing is definitely a psyop because they definitely know what it is. And now there was a recent article that said these drones were approved by the FAA. Yeah, it's bullshit. Yeah. And it took them this long to say that.

So I think that's me wants to believe the whole narrative of the military industrial companies like Boeing have some secret division where they hold the crashed alien craft. That would be cool if it was true. I'm not sure if it is though. I would hope it is. Part of me hopes it is. You ever look into DARPA at all? I don't think so. Not too much.

You should do that too. I'm just straight as a fan. I want to see that because it's something I always want to look into a lot more as well. But like DARPA, your guess is as good as mine. I don't know what you'll be able to research and find. But like when you talk to some of the whispers of these Intel guys who will come in here, you get the idea that if they're not completely full of shit about it, that they could be 40, 50 years ahead in technology. Oh, I definitely believe in that. Which is like – so when I – I'm so curious about these stories and I don't just write all them off because I do think there are – there's a strong possibility there are DARPA-type weapons, maybe even some weapons.

Hopefully this isn't the case, but the other countries have as well that are floating around doing some weird shit. Yeah. And people see them yeah i think i think it's highly likely that uh the american military and darpa have technology that's you know 50 maybe even like 100 years ahead of us yeah uh that they just keep in the back door for sure do you think that do you think it's mathematically impossible that in the context of what we even know about the galaxy, which you already pointed out a couple minutes ago, it could be way bigger than we even think? Do you think it's even mathematically possible that we are alone?

I don't think we're alone. Right. Yeah. maybe maybe the aliens we see are like future versions of ourselves our time traveling back because danny jones he made some podcasts with michael masters yeah where if you look at the evolution of humans from going from ape to a human um if you accelerate that we will end up looking like the typical archetypal alien that everyone talks about um and how super super rare it it would be for aliens from another part of the universe to have you know these two legs two arms standing upright um in the exact same manner as us um this is a very low possibility

yeah so i think i believe it in that theory a lot more of how the aliens we see are just future versions of ourselves that are time traveling back because it will explain why they're so interested in us yeah yeah yeah and it's like we we have this hollywood idea like what an alien is and yet when you hear a lot of the stories especially from the 20th century into the 21st of like reported sightings around the world pre-internet as well like within the 20th century there's so many similar descriptions which that keeps me up at night sometimes because i'm like it's the exact same and these people couldn't communicate together to determine that you know

what i mean like it gets weird but you know if if they are future versions of us, we're also biased by, like you said, like what a human life would look like if it were future when we think of an alien. So aliens themselves, who's to say that an alien wouldn't look like something that looks completely inanimate? Like because they're from another – in that case, if it's not a future man they're from another galaxy or whatever and their ecosystem is entirely different it could look like this wood table yeah and we wouldn't recognize that as having you know lifelike qualities but perhaps it does yeah so you know how they came up with this look of the googly-eyed alien green skin cone face it's got to be based on something. Yeah. Right?

Within pop culture even. Yeah, and if you celebrate the evolution of a human, our heads got bigger. Other features that kind of resemble an alien start to take form. We get less hair. Yeah. Yeah. kind of resemble an alien start to take form we get less hair yeah yeah yeah now what's the have you looked into this whole thing with trump pardoning ross albert because i know you looked at the story before it was silk road yeah so i was i don't know about you i was very surprised that it was a full part i was not surprised at all that trump did something about it he had said

he had promised that he was going to commute the guy, and that's what I was hoping for, for sure. But he gave him a full pardon on this whole thing. What's your thoughts with that? I was very surprised too. And I actually didn't look into it too much. But yeah, I did make that original video on Silk Road. Yeah. Now, for people out there, like, I don't want to rehash the entire thing. Obviously, you can, it's a complex story. I had Andy Greenberg in here to talk about it a lot in episode 127. But because he was actually Andy before Ross was caught, he was the only guy to interview behind a keyboard Dread Pirate Roberts, which was Ross's screen name yeah you know before he went down and everything so he was tied to the story while it was happening but like there was all this controversy that was there only one dread

pirate roberts or was there multiple and if there was only one does that mean that ross actually did order people to be killed like when you were looking into that what what do you think that was do you think it was other people potentially or you don't know? Honestly, it's been like a few years since I looked at that story. So I don't remember much. It's all right. It's a good answer. I appreciate that. Yeah.

For people's context, it's been nearly like 500 videos. Yeah, you make a fuck ton of videos, bro. I don't know how you keep this all straight because even just the two-minute intros will have like fucking 50 million facts in it. Yeah. And you're doing how many a week between the two channels? Like two? Yeah, around two. At my peak, I was making like 13 videos on the main channel a month.

13 a month. Yeah. So why have you scaled back a little bit? I just don't need to make as many videos uh anymore as i used to and you know now i have like the other projects that i focused on as well like like this thing oh yeah let's talk about this you have it in front of you the evil goods whipped tallow honey bomb which you were nice enough to give alessi and i as well so this is this is the thing that robert f kennedy's always talking about we gotta we gotta. We got to actually get everything in there.

But what is the practical application here? What are you trying to replace? L'Oreal? So, you know, everyone focuses on the food, which we should focus on the food. But equally as important is what touches your skin because your skin is the biggest organ on your body. And it absorbs many things. And just like how food companies

are incentivized to make things more shelf-stable and last as long as possible and make it more addictive, the only way to do that is to pump it full of artificial stuff that's really, really bad for you. The same goes with skincare. 100 years ago, we used to use natural fats, like olive oil, beef tallow, which is rendered beef fat on our skin to moisturize it. And it makes sense. These are like natural things that kind of moisturize your skin. But then skincare companies are introducing more and more synthetic stuff to make a more shelf stable to make it last longer on the shelf. So, whereas, you know, this might last a year or so or whatever on the shelf.

I can't remember the exact number, but like a L'Oreal product or whatever, CeraVe, it will last hundreds of years on the shelf. It's got poisons in it. Yeah. And all that stuff gets, many of that stuff gets absorbed directly into your bloodstream. And we're talking about things that disrupt your hormones. So if you're a guy, it hurts your testosterone, making you like less, you build muscle slower,

you gain more fat, you have less energy, you're less motivated. So I think that cleaning up what you put on your skin is just as important as cleaning up your diet yeah because you know if we're lathering lathering ourselves with like these hormones disrupting chemicals day in and day out from our shampoo to the stuff we put on our skin um that little bit of poison builds up over time and uh it really hurts your energy and your hormones and all that stuff so

it's something like this because i haven't used this yet what's like a really common thing people use for skin so like acne or something like that they're using obviously a lot of these products that have these preservers in it are there products that are made like this or this in particular that will literally treat acne so to speak that just like you said maybe they last a year so you got to use it when you buy it versus lasting 10 years you can fucking pull it out whenever yeah so uh we have some like transformation pictures of customers using this and like we're seeing some like pretty crazy transformations people with their face like covered in acne switch over at this and all their acne goes away can we pull this up evil goods yeah the website's evil goods

dot org okay so we can go right to the site and see this and yeah the now this isn't like the meme where it's like all this motherfucker did was just stand back right what do you mean you ever seen the meme where the guy's standing up in the camera and then on the other side it says after and he just stepped back you can take a look uh the second image right there i think that has a lot okay oh whoa blow that up and the reason why yeah whoa and it's very simple the reason why this works is you know if all these other skincare products that they try to sell you on like these these five-step things, are really, really bad for you, and you're constantly lathering yourself in this poison day in and day out, just by switching to an all-natural thing like this, it's going to do wonders because you're not, you know,

actively poisoning yourself. Now, what's your price point on this compared to other stuff? $49.95. And this replaces, like, all the multi-step skincare products out there. So, you can replace multiple products with this. So it ends up saving you a lot of money. So like you can use it on your face, lips, body. I use it everywhere. Everywhere? Yeah.

Every day. Okay. Good to know. Yeah. But I ask that because like I know like Dr. Amen talks about this a lot. Dr. Ahman, Amen, I always say it both ways. Sorry. But like there was an app that I downloaded that he had said to download that basically shows you like what's clean. And long story short, nothing is clean.

Yeah. But everything that was clean was like 50 times the price, which is a problem. So maybe you don't have that for this but like if you were looking at god some of the things like the deodorants or the shampoos and whatever you know you could buy the one that has some of the dirty stuff in it some of them weren't like horrible but they had one or two things it's like you probably shouldn't have this but you could buy that for six bucks and then you know the good one it's same problem i was talking about with food would be like fucking 49 bucks for half the size. Yeah, and same thing with food.

Things that last infinitely long on the shelf are definitely going to be cheaper. And that's kind of the sad reality. Yeah. Now, did you do – you did a video on L'Oreal, right? Yes. All right. Can we pull that up, Alessi? I want people to see some of this there's just so like the problem with your channel

is like i'll sit there and my add will take over and then i just watch like fucking 10 videos and it's on the jake train channel oh yeah yeah yeah main channel let's go back to that should be fairly recent um how l'oreal poison rock there we go cool deep in the heart of paris lives the richest woman in the world she just inherited a 100 billion dollar fortune from her family's company it's enough money to buy every single nba team in the league and still have 20 billion dollars that's nice and yeah we know almost nothing about her this woman is the heir to the most powerful cosmetics conglomerate on the planet. You probably pass by many of their products at the store today without even knowing it, but you wouldn't even recognize her if she walked past you on the streets. It's practically impossible to find a cosmetics brand that isn't owned by her family's company at this point.

In fact, almost half of all skincare brands available on the planet are all controlled by this one company. Personal care products, makeup, hair, skin care, they own it all. And who is this mysterious company? L'Oreal. Everyone knows the name of the products are everywhere, and yet they've managed to keep the true power a secret from the public. And it's obvious why L'Oreal wants to stay low-key. A lawsuit filed, and attorneys talking today

about their case against L'Oreal and a Chicago laboratory. They're accusing the companies of knowingly selling relaxers that could lead to cancer. Several women diagnosed with uterine cancer are now suing L'Oreal and other cosmetic companies after a recent study tied the illness

to chemical hair straightening products. Now, scientists have discovered that an ingredient aiding in absorbing UVB radiation called octocrylene can degrade into a cancer-causing chemical when used or left unused for more than a year. Now the already controversial ingredient can develop into benzophenone, an endocrine disruptor that is banned from food products in the US. Next time you're in the beauty supply store, you may want to take the time to read every single ingredient save your life a new study says a common chemical companies use for black hair care products

can trigger breast cancer cells my next guest has more on that ingredient you need to avoid and there's one woman one family getting rich from it all. The Betancourts. Meet Francoise Betancourt Myers. She's the granddaughter of L'Oreal's founder and the richest woman on the planet. Wow, she just looks like a bitch. She's sitting on a fortune

that's what's 15 times more than Donald Trump. And her family made this insane wealth by controlling what humanity puts on their skin. And what they put on her skin is not pretty. Stay dangerous, subscribe for more, and let's get into it. All right, let's pause is not pretty. Stay dangerous, subscribe for more, and let's get into it. Alright, let's pause it right there. Do you ever worry about getting threats because of some of the stuff you're bringing to the forefront? That's one of the most common questions I get.

And nothing's happened so far. What if fucking Slovakian Daniel out there is a hitman? That's funny and you know part of the reason is most of the stuff like what we talked about earlier i'm repackaging it into a more entertaining form um which might still piss some powerful people off but most of it i always give credit to the actual journalists breaking these stories because they're doing the hard work and they're taking most of the heat. Whereas my job is repackaging it in a more entertaining form. That's right. But that's what I'm saying.

You can reach more people doing that than someone writing on the fifth page of the fucking New York Times. You know what I mean? You're the new media in that way and you make a beautiful 21 minute 10 second documentary that this one is a recent one and 267 000 people have already seen who didn't know who this fucking chick was and now they do like if i were her i wouldn't be happy about that yeah so you know lucky nothing has happened yet yes that's fucking that's fucking good man but you know i i think it's i i like i was saying earlier i think it's really important that guys like you or guys who are doing shit on the ground like my friends Tommy G and Brandon Buckingham are the people who are now starting to – I don't want to say like drive a narrative but driving out the stories that other people don't want to cover that are from the more traditional mainstream media, if you will. And it just goes to show you how far that institutions fall. I mean, you look at not even now with Trump, but like Trump's first presidency,

I think, you know, for all his flaws and everything that kind of exposed just how in the tank and how, I don't know, like handshake in lockstep with corporate and even intelligence that a lot of these organizations are. And it opened up for guys like you to be able to to take that lane and win people's trust yeah i think mainstream media is completely corrupt yeah and you know to add on to what you said earlier like i'm definitely not going to visit china voluntarily i'm not either yeah yeah so you know i take precautions like that yeah now you obviously like you did this also young are the things you would have done differently to along the way. Like I think about this. I started YouTube when I was, I was like 26 years old getting into this. And it's like,

I, if I had done this at like 19 or 20, I'm such a fucking idiot. Like, I don't know what the fuck I would have done, but you were starting to call yourself an idiot. Come on. No, I'm serious. Like back then you didn't know me. Like I was, I was a fucking dumb kid trying to figure out the world. So I'm very grateful that I didn't do that on camera in front of other people and make content and stuff. Have you taken knocks along the way as well? Yeah, I got into some controversy with my sponsors. What happened there? Like 2022.

This was during the bull market. Sponsors were coming to me left and right uh i could have done a better job betting them um and so i took on some like bad sponsors and what kind of sponsors there was like a bitcoin sponsor there was the crypto yeah there was a uh there's another savings account sponsor that pitched it as like a lottery instead of like getting paid a fix like a fixed savings rate or whatever um they like reward you in like lottery earnings so it kind of like builds off of that lottery mindset so you were incentivized to save more sounds like a real straight shooter of a bank and uh yeah a bunch of people made videos of me uh like calling me out

for a lot um so i definitely would have changed a lot i could have definitely done a better job betting those sponsors now i turn down a lot more sponsors that's good yeah yeah i mean like that's what i'm saying these things come in so fast and stuff especially when you're young and you're trying to not just monetize your channel but cover the costs and expenses that you and i went through your business yesterday and all the people you have working for you. It's a lot to do and you make one wrong call with, in this case, one wrong sponsor or whatever.

The internet never forgets that stuff. And then how you handle it is important too. Yeah, I definitely could have handled it better. So yeah, that's definitely one regret I have. Did you clap back at people for that yeah i made some small announced community post and i just made it worse you can't do that it's gonna be like i'm sorry i'm sorry it won't happen again yeah but here you are you said that what was that two three years ago um i think it was 2022 maybe

okay yeah so you're kicking you know okay yeah things pass that's good you're you're hard and old 26 year old now you've been around the block six times so definitely that's all good but listen man i i love your channels i love your breakdowns you're also really humble about what you know what you don't know i really appreciate that and i'm gonna continue watching them everyone else out there should watch them there's a lot of great information like are you do you have any cool projects coming up you want to plug um yeah definitely evil goods yep uh not just for my own sake but you know not lathering yourself with poison that's right and then i also show people how to create their own channel kind of like mine where it's faceless and you don't have

to uh show your face and stuff or use your own voice um and if people are interested in that maybe we can we can can put a link below. Absolutely. Let's do that. Or you can go to viralprofits.yt. Viralprofits.yt. All right. So that's how you get the expertise
