let's go into a little bit of chicago okay with what happened with chicago raven if you want to find a clip there uh... and then also i'm gonna alfine the date we because i love with date said and then uh... how you respond back to so chicago mayor elect condemned team take over chaos but says it's not constructive to demonize the youth hundreds of young people descended on downtown chicago for two nights of chaos.

With two teenage boys being shot during the mayhem, Chicago mayor-elect Brandon Johnson condemned the behavior, but worn against demonizing youth who have been starved of opportunities in their communities. Nine adults and six juveniles were arrested in connection with the takeover with most of the arrests being for reckless conduct. Johnson called for the creation of safe spaces for you to gather under adult guidance and supervision. Johnson's past support for reallocating funds

from the police department to other social services come under attack during the mayoral race, but he has since distanced himself from that position saying he will not reduce the police budget while arguing that hiring more officers will not solve the city's crime problems. Okay. Do you have the clip to show what happened in Chicago, Rob?

If you got it, if you don't, what do you, what do you, what do you thought some what's going on in Chicago right now? I mean, it doesn't look good. I would hope it's a wake up call to a lot of people. But how many more of these things needs to happen, you know, for them to have a wake up call? You know, the, the people who are paying the price for this are the same ones that voted for this guy. And elected them.

I mean, it's possible that's what they deserve or maybe that's what they want. And those that don't want that either moved or vote differently. But if you stay there, you have to be okay. I mean, no one wanting to raise a happy family wants to stay. I mean, they can't remain there if that's their priority.

So, Chloe, they have other priorities, you know? Have you seen any of these clips on this one? It's crazy. I've seen a few, but yeah, it's pretty wide with the volume up, right? There's literally, it's lawlessness in Chicago, bro. When cops don't want to show, yo, you know, cops won't go to certain neighborhoods

because of the gang situation. Like, they're just like, listen, you're on your own, just take shelter and just get the hell out of their basin. She she's nailing like, how do you keep voting? Because, Monu, they just got rid of Lightfoot. The new guy, he's, this is, this horse, he's worse, but they keep voting them in. And I feel I mean, obviously some people can't leave, but if you, if you vote, these people, then, and this is what you get, say, it's on you. Yeah. You know what I mean? So,

explain to me the context here, because I've seen some ridiculous clips here. This was an organized teen takeover. Was this just a bunch of teenagers saying, you know what, we're gonna organize and just go raise hell, burn shit down and just throw about body. Nobody was shot, no innocent person was shot or nothing. It was just like, hey, listen, go down there and cause. And what did they feel this? Are they, what are their demands?

Are they angry about something? Something happened? No, there was no killing, there was no nothing. We'll just, you know what, F the city, and let's just raise hold of the house. Can you pull up that video of the mob beating up the girl and then trying to enter her house? Yeah, and I'm talking about, look at how many people

are beating this girl. Not this one. No, not this one. You did it right before. Yeah, that's it right there. Look at her, she's just trying to get in her house. Look at that. Beat in the living studio.

And 30 people just start beating the shit out of her. That's attempt to stop her on the head. That's attempt to murder. For what reason? For nothing. Nothing zero. Could you imagine if that were 30 white people beating up a blackout? Oh, forget it.

Would you imagine what would be happening if that was 30 white guys beating up a tramp getter youth? She's like, I didn't do anything boom. And she's just getting stomped out. This to me is disgusting. If you don't call out shit like this, whether you're black or white, you're Asian or Latino, you're part of the problem. I wish this custom.

That's a moment, but by the way, Chicago, so there's no guns, I wish she had a gun. Cause I would have shot everybody's ass that's trying to stomped me on my fucking head. That's ridiculous, bro. Yeah, we're doing it. And guess what? She should be moving out of the city.

Her next thing, I have to try to arrest people and bring them a court, move the hell out of Chicago. If she's even functional right now, you know that she's gonna be interviewed across the board. You know Fox is gonna bring her on. And if I'm CNN, I'm MSNBC, I bring her on also. Unbelievable, bro. You bring Quran also.

Yeah, you think they're gonna bring around. Well, they should. There's a difference between, there's a lot of things they should do. They would never talk about the story. That's bullshit. This is against their narrative. But that is bullshit. Tate said, imagine living in Chicago on purpose.

By choice. Seriously, imagine being a full grown adult and waking up in Chicago, looking at the entire globe and then looking around you at the shithole you reside and then saying in Chicago, looking at the entire globe and then looking around you at the shithole you reside and then saying, yes, I want to live here. Then somebody responds back and he says this, after tweeting, this thousands of people from Chicago replied something along the lines of, shut up, you wouldn't last a day here when I get in shot or robbed as some sort of defense. Hannah proves my point completely, doesn't.

So we agree Chicago is a crime-ridden dump. I mean, listen, that's exactly the point. One of the things that happens is I had a sales lead I talked to one time, and I would have it back and forth. And I said, you realize who likes you? She says, what do you mean? I said, think about which one of your salespeople like you. She says, who? I said, you're losing your best salespeople and you're keeping the worst ones. You prefer people listening to you and wanting to just like you and kiss your ass 24- seven over killers that want to compete, dominate and get to work. You want people to just conform to you and fear you rather than people that want to go

compete. You can always tell a person's identity by who they keep and who they lose. We got a lot of vice presidents in our insurance company. I watch some of our guys and they keep killers. They're a killer. I watch some of our guys. They lose killers. They're a killer. I watch some of our guys. They lose their killers and they keep their complainers, their complainers. It's just what it is. So a city who does things like this, guess what you're going to lose.

The person that just wants to go to work and create a business and send their kids to a good school and just do their part. They're not allowed. They're just kind of want to do their part. Those are very much of Positive citizens that you want to keep you lose the you lose those people. You don't have a city They're gonna go to a different place. So you know somebody said the other day There's an article from inside or bash and Florida and it says something like a remote work. It's killing Florida as a retirement paradise Look at the title remote work. Yeah, it's killing Florida as a retirement paradise Did you understand the title? Yeah, are you getting what they're trying to say? Okay, so let me read it to you for some of us people that are not Columbia grad You know brilliant to minds that

Let me go to this page tonight. So check this out Florida's rising home prices are threatening the state's reputation as a retirement haven. Media and home values on Florida are 33% compared to last year. Compared to an 18% nationwide increase, the eight of 10 most overvalued home markets in the US aren't Florida. The state has long promoted itself as an affordable retirement paradise, but increasing competition from private investors combined with the rise of remote work.

Gork has contributed to the work, to afford housing and housing prices, threatened to end the middle class stream of spending final days in Florida, unless Florida builds more housing and raises wages, the trend of rising home prices made the lay young people's retirement plans and threatened the state's economy. It's so fun.

It's so fun. You know what I mean? Like who's gonna fall for the shit? The same person that we can, can you, let's find out who the writer is. Go find who wrote this article. And let me guess Gabby, you went to Columbia. Click on a profile.

That's so funny. No, just click on her name. It's gonna take you there and tell us who she is. Writer broke on, she worked at the verge, the drift, the Babdda nations, other palm trees, co-founder, veterans, and so on and so on. What school did you go to Gabby?

Can we go find a Gabby Delvay? There's not a lot of them out there. What school did she go to? We love Delvay, it's Delvay. It's other palm trees. Co-founder, veterans, what school did you go to Gabby? Can we go find a Gabby Delvay? There's not a lot of them out there. What school did she go to? We love the Delvay. It's the zoom in. There's a, this is a different Delvay than we tell you. She's Gabby's immigration report advice.

News makes sense. Prior to vice, she was a report at Vox and writer at online talk, and they leave daily. Daily beast. All of those things tells you who she is. Yeah. All of those things tell you who she is. What college do you.

What college do you report her? Here it is. What kind of trip order here does? Give us your college. Come on, I need a college. I think she's had one too many jobs. New university, you go and why you? Okay, same thing, make sense. You didn't just talk about NYU earlier. Yeah, exactly.

So there you go, you wanna say something like this? Good for you, the soul remote works, Bashing Florida as a place to be. Listen guys, the workers, the independent thinkers, the people that want to be left alone, the bad asses you want in your community are moving to places like Tennessee, Texas, Florida, Idaho. I can give you five other states

and they're leaving places like Chicago, Illinois, New York, California. I can give you five other states they're leaving. It Chicago, Illinois, New York, California. I can give you five other states they're leaving. It's just what's happening. Anyways, what are your thoughts on this story here? Yeah, no, I agree with everything you said. I don't understand who would stay there unless it's someone who has to and has no way out. Can't afford to leave. Can you imagine? Yeah, a lot of people are probably in that state.

But it could go back to what you said about like American values changing. If your values are I want to raise a family and put food on the table and make sure my kids grew up to be normal citizens of the world. You would not remain in Chicago. So either people's values are changing and we're not understanding what people are starting to align with or people simply can't get out. But there's no one would willingly want to stay there and have a normal, responsible, happy family life. You know, right now we're looking at buying 10 to 20 acres to build our campus. And we're talking about Fort Lauderdale, we're looking at Pompo-no, we're even considering Miami. That's what we're looking at right now.

We're going to build our campus, we're going to movies, we're going to do docs, we're going to shows, we're going to have all the top of Johnny Carson's that are going to come here. We're going to bring the coolest cats that are willing to have conversations from both sides that are likable, they're smart, they're intellectual, and they also don't think they know it all, and they're still trying to learn. And we're going to compete. And I cannot tell you how many people around the country message me and say, Pat, are you recruiting? We like you guys and what you're doing, how you guys are, we want to be part of it.

People are sick of states that are hurting individuals that just want to be left alone. California just came up with us, one policy here, goes full communism, utilities to base, what they charge on how much you make. So utilities, if you want to pay electricity in California now, they're going to use a progressive system. The more money you make, your bill is going to be more.

Makes you want to move back to California. I'm going back. Yeah, you should come with me. California, so three utility companies in California have filed a joint proposal to charge customers a flat rate based on their income with reduced usage charges based on consumption. This proposal part of a compliance

with 2021 California State Government legislation requiring such plans for utilities, the fixed income rate for households would be as low as 15 bucks a month for low income households and up to 85 bucks more per month for households earning more than 180,000 dollars a year. Critics argue that this initiative is an attempt to implement Marxism and Communism where capitalism is inescapable and the only way to prosperity They suggest that such policies would incentivize low-income households and penalize those earning more than 180k per year Which would lead to a decline in productivity and the standard of living? That's common sense. Yes. The way he described nothing about what he said was out of the ordinary now

Why would somebody stay in California today? Why would somebody stay in California?? Why would somebody stay in California? The weather and the traffic, Pat, they just love it. I'm gonna lay this week. Are you going on this week? I'm gonna lay Friday and Saturday. We're gonna be in LA. I'm speaking, I think I'm in Corona on Saturday.

When you go back, Pat, how do you like, be honest? What do you, I mean, you're missing because you're from... No, but do you know what I love? That you get to leave? I can close my eyes and drive the freeways. I know every street. I probably drove a few hundred thousand miles in California selling policies,

you know, and building my business. I love it there. There's the people, the relationships. All I'm a Glendale High School kid, you know, you go by the high school and you're looking at the nitros and, you know, very proud of, you know, being out of a thousand students, class 880 out of my thousand graduate class very proud proud of the GP and all that stuff that we had. No there you

know there's a certain element to it going through all the roads to streets. We did that once together right I'm driving and I'm saying hey here's where I went this. We've done it a few times and it's great. Fastest I've ever driven in my life. 165. By the way to drive 165 on four four or five four which allegedly I don't yeah, I was just gonna say don't say people have like somebody heard that you were doing Keep in mind it was during COVID so there was no that's yeah, it's less It's a great state, but I'm telling you more and more people Stop me and say I left my state and move to Florida

after watching the video of how great Florida is. I left my state, and even though you talk about Florida, I chose to move to Tennessee. I moved to Texas. I moved to Idaho. It's happening. And it's going to become more and more and more. So the part about the six weeks that we talked about

with the Santis, let's flip it. Does this cause some people to want to leave Florida? Well that gets some people to say, I'm sorry man, I can't live here. Because these policies are also moving me away from the state. I can't do something like this. Because I do believe good and bad policies are going to force certain people out and attract certain people in. Maybe that is strategic, what are you doing?

What do you think? I mean if nothing else is going to make it people out and attract certain people in. Maybe that is strategic. What are you doing? What do you think? I mean, if nothing else, he's going to make it a very red state. I mean, I was told in 2016, but even through 2020 that this was still a swing state. Once this passes, those who remain, I mean, that's it. It's a red state. So I think, unfortunately, we're changing the map quite a bit. And now we're learning where you want to live here, a public and where you want to live here, a Democrat. And there's not a lot of places to go. If you just want to be around

people who might disagree with you but you know that you might enjoy having dinner with so that's the unfortunate part that we're really making states choose what they want to be and making people decide with me nobody's more purple here than you though that's fair that's why I go between New York and here I cannot settle in one spot so do you go to New York oh my god all these red people you go to Florida and you go to New York like oh my god all these blue people yeah I missed a ready go to New York? Oh my god, all these red people you go to Florida and you go to New York You're like oh my god all these blue people. Yeah, I missed a ready. Go to the red like oh these guys are so annoying You go because I can't how you are

I'm so funny. I'm okay. I like that So that's the first one to say they're happy to be on the airplane on these planes out there these days Oh, man, that's crazy. Okay, next story. Let's see what we got next to go through Do we want to talk a little bit about weed? Let's talk a little bit about weed. So there's a community. Did you guys talk about the league Pentagon stuff, Pat? Did you guys see that?

Let's be blunt, please. Okay, legal weed is turning New York workers into zombies. Great. So this is a New York post story. Let's see what they have to say. So apparently, let me see this thing. Okay. The decriminalization of marijuana has led to widespread use among service employees in New York City, resulting in lethargy, disengagement, and forgetfulness. Hey, can you remember to put

that in my schedule? I got you. I can never in the calendar. Minimal wage should be lowered since many workers have become hopelessly stunted or dumb. Who said that by the way? I don't know if it's something on the minimum. Okay. Now, that's just a quote. So there are several examples of service employees who were stoned up the wazoo and unable to perform their jobs, including a cashier who forgot to give change to service that's worker.

That's a last car and a restaurant server who lost the credit card. The Acred Older of marijuana, smoke is everywhere even in Broadway theaters and subway cars. Progressive politicians are responsible for throwing the city into trash by decriminalizing marijuana and allowing the widespread use of the drug amongst a service employees. Do you see that in New York when you go there or not really? I smell it. You smell it? Yeah. So you're happier in New York. I have actually never smelled weed in my life. I've never tried it. Swear to God. I don't know. I anything about this except my high school friends who would act very similarly to what they're describing here. You can't say that. You have to admit to

everybody here on live podcast. Promise. You didn't inhale. If you live in New York, you can lie detect something. You can lie to me right now. Promise. You can. You didn't inhale. If you live in New York, you can lie to text. Is that a thing? You can lie to text on your own. I promise. Never in my life. No, no, what I'm saying is my point is more if you, you know, if you're in New York, if you're in around friends that are smoking weed, you can hide.

I knew what they were doing. I wasn't around them. Oh, okay. When I was 16, I was sitting at home with a cast on my leg, just trying to figure out how to walk it. It's funny when I'm around the kids and the kids are like, that what smell is that? So that's skunk. Yeah, it is.

It's really skunk. Yeah, it's what that is. Adam, what are your thoughts about this? You may be looking at the story and you may say you would support something like this of dissentistist and florist. That's kind of what you're thinking. Yeah, well, let me tell you,

this story is such bullshit. Okay, this is such bullshit. Why? Because let me tell you something about these guys, these cash registers, these guys, these Uber drivers, you think they're waiting for fucking weed regulation to start smoking weed. Yeah. These guys have been hitting the bong for decades. Yeah. Okay, they're not waiting for weed regulation to set in, be like, you're fucking. Finally, I can smoke my way. It's just true. Nobody's saying they can't, no, regardless.

Listen, nobody can say they can't smoke that weed. No one's saying that, that they can't do it behind closed doors, right? This is legally. Oh, they're gonna do it. No, no, regardless. Well, let me ask you a question. If I'm building a company and you got guys that are,

hey, I'm gonna take a smoke break. They're outside and ultimately, you know, they come back in, hey, so'm gonna take a smoke break. They're outside. And also, they come back in. Hey, so Johnny, how you doing? Good, how you doing? Like, I'm good. So you're gonna finish that video? Yeah, boss, I got it. Okay.

Did we eat like five o'clock? You forgot, he leaves. And so productivity doesn't go up. There is no, I'm not saying that there's benefits from doing it. But the difference is, these guys are now smoking legally. There's a difference between, they've been smoking for a while, you're right. But now you're getting to an Uber and you're like,

this guy just smoked a joint before me getting in here. There we go. We'll open a window and know it's cold, it's New York. I fully agree with you. I fully agree with you, but what I'm saying is, they're gonna do it regardless. Whether it's legal, whether it's illegal, whether they can buy it on the street,

whether they can buy it from their drug dealer, if they want to get a high, they're gonna get a high, they're not waiting for government regulation to set in and be like, finally, I can take my small part. Can I tell everybody what you're doing? I know you're, you know how sometimes you're talking to me, but the audience doesn't know the conversation we just had right before the podcast.

Yeah, go ahead. Okay, so here's what Adam is requesting, and I haven't yet approved it. Rob, you know about this, this was a lengthy meeting. You're going to reveal our private conversation. Are you okay with it if I tell them that? You know what I'm a team? I want us to do podcasts, Smoke and Wheat. We're not doing it. He wants to do a live podcast, Smoke and Wheat. I told you me, you have a choice between gummies, cookies, and the actual tape. Like I'm smoking of the weed, and we're not doing it.

Now, if Adam wants to do that, it's a different story. I think the audience would like to see that. I think Oliver Stone wanted to do that. Oliver Stone. We even brought him a, what do you call him, a humidor we bought for him. I'm curious, so what the chat, if you had to guess the percentage of what the chat would say,

yes to Pat and everybody's smoking weed, you don't want me smoking. What do you think it would be? I think it would be 80% or high. I want to see Pat happen. I think 80%, I'm going to go ahead and say this, Elizabeth, the audience is going to say 85% run a poll.

Run a poll. And I'm telling you, one be 80 points. 80%. Come on guys and girls, let me tell you one quick story. I have a feeling it's going to be 65%. I want to say, but run a poll. Run a poll. Would you like to see PBD?

PBD smoke weed with Alan? I'm telling you it's gonna be 65% and Rogan. If it's no, no, no, no, just us. Let's just see what they're gonna say. But go ahead. Yeah. As much as it seems like I'm defending weed, I'm all I'm saying is these guys are gonna be

smoking it regardless. I will say that, you know, you said regardless three times. Okay. What I thought about what? What? Regardless. You know, it is regardless. I've seen couples retreat seven years. Yeah. You're the do you the don't regard me? You don't know that guy. The reason why I know it's

because I just watch it with the kids this with by the way couples retreat what a movie that is. Oh, that's all East Island. You know, what do they do over there? And it was. You are the ass. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The massage guy. Oh, it's amazing. He's East Island, you know, what did they do over there? And it was fun. You were the ass. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

The massage guy. Yeah. I would say that we, they're making it so strong these days. And I totally can empathize with what they're saying here. Lethergy disengagement, forgetfulness. Lethergy? Yeah. You make fun of me.

Yeah, it's lethergy. I'm saying it. Lethergy. Lethergy, not lethergy, lethergy. Lethergy. Lethergy. lethargy today And you make one of this yes, so speaking guy and you have like a 4.0 GPA and I Let's not let's RG

No, but go ahead guys for the lethgy I know the star chick Adams newest product is made out of leather Yeah, if you're a leopard with lethargy Well, I forgot my story. I forgot my Oh, here's the story so I remember being college smoking weed for like first time Yeah, and super stoned and

Now it's even stronger than weed these days. And I remember being like, all right, I gotta go to the store and I gotta buy some stuff. So I remember I got in the car, I opened the car door, sat in the seat, put my key in the ignition, and I was sitting in shotgun. That's what you know. That was just like oh shit

The cop turns on his lights and he starts doing something called the traffic brake, which, you know what that is, right, Pat? When the cop turns on his lights

and they start swirving to slow down traffic, I am so high, I just start following the cop. I'm like, let me just start swarming. God, I'm like, are we at a commercial? It's just an arrested one. No, he pulled over because there's a bumper. He joined you. No, no, he's in front.

Texas Texas Texas Texas Texas Texas one two three if your leaders will turn guys seven out of tennis Texas. They're dominating. Okay. That's pretty wild. So in other words, if you want to feel rich move to Texas. Right. You're right. If you want to do do not go to California Texas is dominant. By the way, there's no Florida on any. Nope. No, not Miami. I thought Miami would have been on the what he called it. Yeah, that's what I thought, but it's not. Yeah, because people don't make a hundred grand of Miami. So if we're gonna to go based on this, we're opening up a studio in Memphis, Tennessee. Okay. We're gonna go to Memphis and buy a team. I'm brighter died. So let's go. You're getting content from that place.

But what I'm surprised Houston's on this list. Me too. Because Houston's got 20, 30 million dollar homes. You got oil. So now the third largest city in America just passed up Chicago. Oh, really? Yeah. Houston Houston's blowing on bigger than Dallas. What are you joking? Did you what did you have for smoke and his little large? He's the large Houston is bigger than Dallas. I tell me please tell me you're joking. I mean when you think of Texas You think of Dallas Dallas, Texas. Yeah, nobody thinks of the Houston type in top 10 largest cities in America population All right, this is this is pretty interesting population. Oh, you mean what you're thinking He's lethargy. He's there again. This is what year?

Houston just passed up Chicago Largest wow. Yeah, Houston's up for good Dallas population Go Dallas population Houston's what? For good, good Dallas population. Good Dallas population. So Houston's 2 million, uh, 300,000. That's way. Okay. It's just low. I don't think anybody would think that Houston is that big.

I'm not gonna. When you think of major cities, you do not think of Houston. Well, Houston has double. Damn. I didn't know that. What? Yup. 2.288.

Is it? You're telling me when you think of major US cities, Houston is on your list? I wouldn't have thought that. Maybe if you're a Hakeem Elijah Wond-Fan, but no, sorry. Wait, you wouldn't want to live in Houston? That's not what I said.

It's a little... Well, yeah, I don't want to live in Houston. I'm good in Miami. I'm good. Pat, what do you think the poll was for you, smoking weed? I haven't, I've totally forgot. 70? Yeah, totally forgot about it, man. Yeah, that forgot about it. Yeah, you're the third 60 odd drop told you

16 what did I say? I said 65 you know your audience. So wait till the end of the podcast is how it looks out. But that means yes. Yeah, Kimberly some late former. Yes, 35. No, I still have a 16. I know I know you said that you're gonna do whatever the audience the side yeah Whatever you said you want to smoke you can smoke it, but what do you mean you people? What do you mean you people for 400 years? Get cheese get cheese bad Robber's hilarious Man, so where you at with these cities, by the way?

When you see stuff like this. If I'm right now, if I am somebody that is not in the best of place financially, and I'm thinking about having a family and raising a family, if I'm doing okay financially, I'm moving to Florida. I'm moving to Tennessee. If I'm not doing well financially, and'm moving to Florida. Okay, I'm moving to Tennessee. You know, if I'm not doing well financially and I can't afford private school

and I'm thinking next 10, 20 years where I'd like to go, pick a city in Texas. It's a great place to go to. Dallas is a great place, plain of, you can live in plain of phenomenal city. Dallas got a lot of great places to be living in. Houston's got a lot of great places to be living in. We got a couple of our guys that moved to Houston.

Austin is very different. Austin is not Texas. A lot of people think Austin is Texas until they go to Austin and they realize Austin is more San Francisco. Really? Austin? Like, a lot of people.

Austin is not Texas. Austin is weird. So, make say that they want to keep it weird. I'm unpacked, like, because I've been to all these cities to do comedy shows, but what's the difference between Austin compared to like a Dallas or like a Houston? Austin it's more hipster. Oh god really you don't know how how I've never been the Austin I've been in place also huge what we're gonna do. We're gonna go to we'll go to Joe's new club. Okay, go visit him I'm gonna give my gift okay, we'll go to his new club. Okay. And we'll also go around Austin. Please. They would just like okay. Yeah

As it is it's crazy I've never been to Austin. I've been very different. Let me tell you what you like is it like towards a positive or towards a negative You say San Francisco. I don't want to even be there. What do I like about Austin? Yeah, um I mean, would I live there is if will you're asking were asking, well, you're saying, how do you compare it to San Francisco? It is Texas's version of San Francisco. It's what it is. It's the best way to put it. Liberal, like, you know, you know, it's, by the way, Austin is also the Silicon Valley

of, of Texas as well. So it's so silicon silicon. Yeah. Not the Latter G. So that's one of my words that they correct me up so so so if it's so liberal and so like that Why would somebody like Joe Rogan go there which is I think that's wrong California? Well, I've seen nothing I mean, but he because it's California without the policies got it. Okay. Yeah, it's California without the policy Okay, by the way, he moved to the right place for him. Yeah.

Okay. And his comedy club. The mother shot. I said, I said, Joe, how's the comedy club? Eight months. Sold out. I mean, you can't get tickets. It's crazy because he'll add a show and then it'll be sold out without.

Yes. Second. Yeah. You're talking about, you know he what he's done to comedy This is like you know like where's the place basketball players wanted to go play in New York? Rocker rocker park rocker park. Yeah, right like this is the rocker park of comedy Wow, it's crazy last night. They posted a photo of a drop-in comedian guess who the drop-in comedians will bill bur Bill bur just drops in and does a spot. Oh my god

By the way, that's kind of like in New York saying, guys, there's gonna be a player showing up tomorrow. Kevin Durant shows us. It's kind of like, hey, come and play with Kevin Durant. That's what happens at the comedy teller in New York. You know that. Pat, I want to go to Austin, please. Yeah, by the way, you gotta play a game when you're in Austin.

Okay. It's called the Homeless or Hipster. Oh God. You just gotta guess. Yes, who's who? Is that guy Homeless or Hipster? I was three for 10. I just couldn't figure it out. You know who's who? I'm like, that guy is definitely Homeless. a hipster? I was a three for ten I just could figure it out who's I'm like that guys definitely home like I own a tech company

Oh wait when you played this game where you smoking and we're you look lots are no Okay, let's let's try to hit two more stories, but by the way What would be good is these stories this why people are fleeing blue cities for red states is kind of basically proving your point You want to go to that? Well, it's essentially it's double down. Oh, by the way, it's New York Times, which, you know, this is once where New York Times is and the Daily Mail. All right, let's go to New York Times

and let's see what they gotta say. Here we go. Why people are fleeing blue cities for red states, okay? Fastest grown states in the US between 2010 and 2020 were mostly red states, like Texas, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, South Carolina. The trend accelerated during the pandemic, and most of the population gaining states are governed by Republicans.

These states are more pro-business and have lower taxes and fewer restrictions on home construction, resulting in lower housing prices and more job opportunities. The growth in these states is mostly in their metro areas, which are often blue cities, in red states. Republican policies provide the general business climate but Democrats at the local level influence the school, social services, and civic atmosphere that attract highly educated workers.

A red blue mashup seems to work with the conservative state's authorities at odds with the more liberal cities' authorities over things like minimum wage laws and LGBTQ rights. Okay, so they're kind of trying to suggest and say, hey guys, like we understand you guys are kicking our asses, but what would be better is if you guys are willing to work with us a little bit. That's kind of how I read this article, but it's no, is anyone surprised who's moving to red states? Is this like a story where you're sitting there being flabbergast the saying oh wow shocking

People like lower taxes people like low regulation people like it when the government states out of the You know stays out of the business of how you want to parent and raise your kids These are all like you went back to you said something you said I want to go back to what you said the America Not America first policy. You were talking about what America was founded on, the policies that were, you know. Yeah, the values that my parents escaped, the Soviet Union to be a part of, to raise me in,

that I wish to God will exist when I have kids one day, you know? Yeah. Uh, uh, yeah, I mean, hurry up because it's like, oh my God, what these guys are up to now, these crazy things are happening. Okay, so are you good with that story? Did you have a comment or did you just want to? Well, I love the quote by Nassim Nicholas Talib,

you know, Nassim Talib, he says, I am at the federal level libertarian, right? At the state level, Republican, essentially this, at the local level Democrat caring about your community I guess and at friends and family level a socialist so there's there's There's minutia and all this if saying that doesn't convince you of the The fadestness of the left and the right labels nothing will so the It kind of just different strokes for different folks, but to prove to that point

Get out of my way. Let me just do my thing as a libertarian from the federal government, the state government, obviously, if they're pro-business, people are moving to these states, but in your family, you know, maybe you can be a little bit more left-leaning and give stuff away. Yeah. Very close family. You hushed me. Did you, you signaling?

That was a signal. Family. Family. I think he makes sense. This is the first time we've had two Jews to a series on our podcast. Yes. I feel like Mishbulcha here. I feel like family.

We're having a great time. I love it. And a proud boy. Yeah. That was perfect. That's amazing. I mean, I'm just so thankful you got out of January 6th. You get to take the story.

You want to talk about Walmart shutting down four stores in Chicago. Do you want to talk about Walmart shutting down four stores in Chicago. Do you want to talk about India population surpassing China? Do you want to talk about New Massachusetts Bill would give companies with a four day work week tax incentives? Or do you want to talk about AI's threat to humanity? Will be far greater if China masters at first? Which one do you want?

Let's do AI. Okay, so let's do that one. AI's threat to humanity will be far greater if China Masters it first Gordon Chen who knows something about China He lived there as a lawyer for I think 19 or 20 years Okay, so according to China expert Gordon Chen A.I. poses a direct threat to humanity, but it'll be more of a threat to humanity of China masters it before we do China's proposed measures to ensure AI development

adheres to socialist values and does not disrupt the economic or social order may also hinder its AI development. Furthermore, China's political, politically repressive system that relies on censorship is not conducive to AI development and AI may not react well to such restrictions. Chinese tech firms like Alibaba and Baidu have created bots to rival banned AI products like OpenAI, OpenAI's Chad GBT. Finally, China's great AI capabilities and access to vast amounts of data give. It's a built in advantage to a development creating and arms race and

lowering global standards. Thoughts. Yeah, what was the quote that it's dangerous of China masters is before we do? I think that stands for anything. That's not just AI. Anything that China masters before America does is probably going to kill us. I have been convinced for years that technology will take my life. So this is further proof. I am terrified of all this stuff. I don't understand it. I don't know why people trust it so blindly. And I don't know why people trust it so blindly. And I don't know why we're okay. Having it when we know that country's like China,

Russia, Iran, everyone else has it as well, possibly at a higher level. Is that why you use a next-down? You're still using old school phones. She's still got the flip folks. I love it. I love it. I wish.

Yeah. But isn't it scary, Pat, when you have people like, you know, Elon Musk saying like, listen, yeah, I'm involved with it. And I'm gonna be making a shit little money off of it, but it's going to be dangerous. And they're giving you the warning sign right now that it's going to be taking over. There's already about you. I'm seeing robots working.

What, by the way, did you say that one robot pat? It was working at some warehouse and it just fell over from being overworked. Did you see that? No, I didn't see that. Yeah, let's, this is the clip where he's saying, like, what? This is, Elon was on Tucker last night and they talked about AI regulation and Elon brings up a great point about regulation if you want me to play this for you. Yeah, go for it.

Rob, your audio is very low, so raise it. Okay, he'll help. Go ahead. And we only put a regulation after something terrible has happened. It may be too late to actually put the regulations in place. The AI may be in control at that point. You think that's real, it is conceivable that AI could take control and reach a point where you couldn't turn it off and it would be making decisions for people.

Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. No, that's definitely where things are headed. For sure. I mean, things like, like, say, Chatchy VT, which is based on JPD 4 from OpenAI, which is a company that I played at a critical role in creating, unfortunately. Back when it was a non-profit? Yes.

a nonprofit? Yes. I mean, the reason open eye exhaust at all is that Larry Page and I used to be close friends and I was there at his house in Palo Alto and I talked to him late to the night about AI safety. And at least my perception was that Larry was not taking AI safety seriously enough. And what did he say about it? He really seemed to be, sort of, digital superintelligence, basically digital God, if you will, as soon as possible. You wanted that?

Yes. He's made many public statements over the years that the whole goal of Google is what's called AGI, artificial general intelligence or artificial superintelligence. No, and I agree with him that there's great potential for good, but there's also potential for bad. I said, well, what about, you know, who we're going to make sure humanity is okay here? And then he called me a species. Did he use that term?

Yes. And there were witnesses. I was the only one there when he called me a species. And so I was like, okay, that's it. Yes, I'm a species. You got me. What are you? Yeah, I'm fully suspicious. Busted. It's a new word that I just learned

today. But by the way, go ahead. So you see this, how do you feel about what he's saying here? Well, the whole point is that he brings up regulations, but the only time that we put regulations in place is after something tragic happens. Are we going to wait with AI until something tragic happens before we start regulating it? And if that's a case, it may be too soon. At that point, the AI could become self-aware, self-conscious, and then how do you shut it? So I got a question for everybody.

Here, let's just see what angle we take this. Okay. So his concern is he's trying to pump the brakes on AI. Okay, fine. So would you rather have, let's just say you pump the brakes on AI. Okay, fine. So would you rather have, let's just say you pump the brakes on AI on private sector. Entrepreneurs, you got to pump the brakes on AI. Is the government also going to pump the brakes?

Never. Okay, so they're not going to pump the brakes. Would you rather, you have three options. Private cannot go to AI, it's overly regulated, but the US government can. Okay, the both private and public can go not go to AI, it's overly regulated, but the US government can. Okay? The both private and public can go AI and let a rip, okay, meaning like go forward, you can do as much as you want, government can do it and private can do it.

Which one of those two is just going to be two? Which of those two would you rather prefer? Are you trusting more private with AI or public with AI? I'll go to you first. Which one do you prefer? It's an interesting one. Yeah, that's hard. Because what he's saying is, it's pumped the brakes.

The government's not going to pump the brakes. So you're telling private's pumped the brakes on AI. So who's going to pump the brakes? Do I want them to monitor everything, but you don't want us to go and impose? So who's going to stop? Who's not? No, that's fair. If there is no way to get the government to stop, which there never is, then we must continue and hopefully have more experience of I agree. Then they do.

I agree with her. Yeah, you can't. This is such a slippery slope, because it's like everything that all those movies, all those eye robots and all the warnings of what they're doing. It's coming out into our phase and we're seeing I'm telling you right now, Pat, it's happening like fast, fast. There was a documentary called The Transcendental Man by something, if you could look it up, he warned Pat of the art to like, we're not him. All the people in the documentary, artificial intelligence

against us. You're getting a little joke, huh? You good? They say, ah, it's... I'm getting a little far, jeez. I'm getting a little far, jeez. I'm getting a little clapped. I'm getting a little clapped, but that a little farther. I'm getting a little farther.

But that's the future and the guy was, they're warning, it's coming and it's gonna happen. It's happening faster and faster and one of this points was when we look at an ant pat, you don't think twice, you just go and death, right? That the robot is gonna get millions and millions and millions of times smarter than us where that robot's gonna turn on us

and be like, who are you? Telling me what to do, you know what I mean? And Elon brings that up in the interview. He says, if humans wanted to go around and kill every chimp, we could kill every chimp because we're strong, we may not be stronger than chimp, but we're smarter than chimp. We're the smartest species on this earth. What happens when there's something smarter than us?

Then we're smoking like a true species. Sincere. Yeah, you just care about humanity, don't you? what happens when there's something smarter than us? Then we're smoking like a true species. Spacious. Yeah, you just care about humanity, don't you? So this guy's all about the future and this documentary, but all the other people in the documentary are like, this guy is nuts, you're asking for the end of humanity because robots are gonna take over. So I think, well, every industry has regulation.

We, I mean, SEC, Finra, you know, the EPA, there needs to be some sort of regulation here. I mean, even, FINRA, you know, the EPA, there needs to be some sort of regulation here. I mean, even crypto needs to be regulated right now, but I mean, I think you bring up a good point about government versus private industry. What crypto needs to be regulated right now? I think there is, I don't think, I'm not a fan of central bank digital currencies, but I think there needs to be some sort of regulation out there. I mean, even, even everything that just happened with the Silicon Valley bank, they lifted regulations disaster. So, but they're also to your credit, you know, the the meme, you ever seen that meme? Let me see, where it's like these two guys are talking

and the guy goes, you hear about the new bill? Or do you support the new bill? And he's like, what new bill? He's like, it's the bill that gives the government the, no, no, I got it not in favor of it. I the bill that gives the government that but no Like I'm not in favor of it. I don't know if the government right no so yeah, I don't you can find that Where are you going somewhere? But there needs to be a balance there needs to be a public private Partnership and an agreement on what the hell's going on with this AI? I don't know about AI enough to even To weigh in on this but I do trust Elon Musk on this

Why me? I don't trust anybody that created it and I was like, that's like making a gun and going like, yeah, I don't trust it now, you made the gun, you know what I mean? And the hell with the government or the private, the machine itself is going to be superior than us. That's the fear. That's the genuine fear is this machine saying,

who are you to tell me what to do? And I have the power and the ammunition to take over you? That's the fear. So, I don't care who has it. Once the machine becomes too smart, it's a wrap. And you're talking about the one made possibly here. Imagine the one made by the Chinese. Oh, forget it.

Forget it. That's a different level. Wow. So, I don't know. Have fun. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if we can fully put a pause to innovation. And I don't know if I fully feel comfortable saying you can innovate, but I can't know if we can fully put a pause to innovation. And I don't know if I fully feel comfortable saying,

you can innovate, but I can't. And hey, I'm smarter and I'm going to be more under control because I'm not driven by power. Let me try to see what I can do with this technology. And I'll tell you in a couple of years, how it's going to help you because I'm the government. And I'm here to help you. It's just a very honorable thing to say.

We know when we look at the last time the US population trusted the government the most, the Skyrim John was president and his last name is Kennedy. And it was 72% or 70% today. It's in the 20s. People don't trust the US government today. It's just period. The weaponization, the what spying, all this stuff. It's like, we don't trust what you got going on right now. We kind of want to leave that part alone. I will say it, when an Elon says it, you got to give it credibility, he started it. You know, it's like when the vaccine guy who started the vaccine, he's sitting there now saying, like, there's a lot of people that invent to the product.

And they turn around and they say, I wasn't too happy about what I produced. I'm not necessarily the vaccine, but certain things that they invent. Maybe Elon is someone that we ought to listen to, but how we go about it is the issue. I'm not comfortable with it being fully deregulated, but again, we're gonna see what's gonna happen.

Apparently, according to this former, what was it, model that Harvard and University of Pennsylvania were going to get? Because of technology. She said, I was going to die. We have to stop it. We have to figure out where to stop it. And Elizabeth's got a message to folks in DC and the Skyneed Milan. Okay, we shall listen to that.

So we're about to wrap up. I do want to admit to something. It's going to be very hard to do this. Uh-oh. As a man who's very proud and there's ego involved and all these other things, Lathar Jik is the proper way to announce it, but it is lethargy, just so you're not.

It is. So Adam was right on that. So we're over here making fun of him the whole time. So if you want to go, if you want to go, relax, pump the brakes. I'm giving you this. Go on Google, go on Google, type in the word, L-E-T-H, pronounce, and let Google tell us. This is a very interesting, you know, maybe just go to chat GPT. Yeah, see what they have to say.

Let's hear it. Go ahead, show it to us. Lethargy. Exactly. So very disappointed. It's lethar, show it to us. Lethargy. Exactly. So, very disappointed. It's lethargic, but apparently it is lethargy. We have a big ESL community that follows us. We don't want people going around saying lethargy.

Yeah. It's lethargy. Don't give up on your dreams. You're going to have aator's out there. You're going to have people. They're going to get a shit on you. Tell you that you're an idiot. They're wrong.

I promise you. If you believe in lethargy, you double down on them. For every one word you mispronounce or you're accused of it, I get you that you're an idiot. I promise you. If you believe in the author, you double down on this. For every one word, you mispronounce or you're accused of it. I get tanned coming this way. Yeah. Okay. Well, am it all these accusations that I don't know? It is what it is.

Okay. What was the name of the book, Pat? Elizabeth, if you want to tell us about your book and as well as some of the projects you're working on, so the audience can follow you. If you can maybe tell us about this book, Find In My Place. Yeah, it's called Find In My Place, making my parents' American dream come true.

I think that kind of gives you the gist right there, but it's kind of a story about me, but mostly why I am, who I am, which mostly can be sunned up and because my parents left the Soviet Union and risked everything lost a lot, so I could be here. So thank you for everyone's support,

and you can follow me at Elizabeth Pipco anywhere you get social media. Elizabeth Pipco, so it's not a common name, is what you're saying. It is not, no. Okay, so put that Elizabeth Pipco, Twitter, Instagram, put all the links below. It's great having you on.

We had a lot of fun here. Today's podcast was a little weird because we laughed a lot. And we learned English. Love and we would have guessed. Gang, we're doing this again on Thursday. I think Thursday will be home team with Tom being on. With us here, we got a lot of business topics to talk about. This Thursday have a good one.

We'll see you guys on Thursday. Take care. Bye bye bye.
