He says pad You got to hook up with this guy and then he sent a group text to us and the bone we got on here and clap to have you in Florida. Absolutely. Glad to be here. Glad to be here.

So, we got a lot of different topics to go to. I think it's fair first before we get into the topics that we have. We got first, maybe let me preface what topics we had. Buffet and Munger made a lot of strong comments this past weekend about Robin Hood, about who's going to be his replacement Which we have the successors name to be thinking about and talking about he he poked at Bitcoin They poked a bunch of different people they were annual meetings. I mean, I couldn't even I've never seen him be like this They just called everybody out. So maybe maybe they've been taking a class the last 12 months on trolling and they're trying to see

Thinking get better at their in their 90s. You got to respect them for that. Enrolled in the show. School of Trolling. So we'll talk about the tanky takeaways from the meeting that they had, that the Berkshire had to wait 2021, shareholder meeting. We will get into a new Disneyland obviously reopens after being close for about a year, but there's a new scene from Disneyland Snow White ride that's prompting backlash. It's very offensive. I think we have to address it. It's catastrophic. about a year, but there's a new scene from this inland snow white ride that's prompting backlash.

It's very offensive. I think we have to address it. It's catastrophic. We will get to it here in a minute as well. Beijing officially taps New York City in a number of billionaires on latest Forbes list. We'll get through that as well. Facebook says decision on whether Trump ban

will be overturned coming Wednesday, which is tomorrow. We're gonna find out what they do about this. It's gonna be a very, I'm actually curious to know what position they take on that and we got a bunch of other topics that we can get into Verizon just sold a well and Yahoo for five billion AOL who was a juggernaut and Yahoo that was a juggernaut Yeah, they sold both for five billion and the name AOL is gone. Now they're just naming it Yahoo. So AOL is gone.

Gone. What am I gonna do with my AOL email? I mean, I can totally, what are you gonna do with the AOL chat or rooms you used to go to? Are you, you were lucky? I might just change it to AOC email. That's the new often common one.

Is that really what it's gonna be? Okay, so prior to getting to all this stuff, let's talk to our friend here, major, Williams, Major. When did you make the decision to run for the governor, the state of California? Well, I started out, well, first, I was wants to say thank you for having me on the show.

I truly appreciate it, big fan. I was saying earlier that you've inspired so many people and educated so many people during the course of what you've built and what you're doing. I didn't want to run for governor of California. This wasn't my trajectory. I'm not a kid that grew up with politicians on my wall with posters. But after I ran for mayor Pasadena, I wanted to stay politically active.

And I created this group, this committee called the new California governor committee. And the pretense was to stay politically active and support the next Republican governor of California candidate. So during this process, we're vading different individuals that are non-career politicians. And during the process of me giving my whole spill, people would just say, Major, you should just run. I can't say it how you said. But also they took the preence of what I did locally

in Pasadena, someone that they said that couldn't win in Pasadena, which I didn't win, but the context is, they had a bet that I would only get 100 votes. So being in sports and competitive, I said, I'm gonna get 200 votes, right? But I ended up stealing the vote, it's a block that got close to $5,000 votes. And so being able to message the mayor of Pasadena.

So having that impact locally, you know, a lot of people don't understand that politics is like any other industry. They scout out talent. So people just kept saying you should run for something. You know, you should do this. This calling you. Who's calling scouting? So these are names.

Are they figured heads? Are they people that, you know, people would know in the political world? Well, there were some of those, but there was more so people just acknowledge what we've done locally. Got it. And in different conventions that we would go to. And then from there I just you know made that decision and you know the story that I always share with people you know I'm a very spiritual guy and my grandfather passed away

a few years ago by the name of LJD and the old guy continues to talk to me especially when I have difficult moments that I'm dealing with and he came to me the dream one night at 4.30 morning he said two words, he said step up and I woke up, I pray with my wife we're briefly told what happened when I saw open my eyes, I literally had a vision of myself been sworn in as a 41st governor of California and this was a year ago. Let's make it happen. Yeah, that's big. So let's find out what Kai if you can pull up Major Williams website.

So what's the story behind Major Williams? We were asking you with your name. What's the story behind Major Williams? Sick name. That's really a love of it. Are you kidding me? So first of all, I'm not in military. It's not because of any military background.

It really, it's implicitly came from a coach one day, kind of using me as an example in a hotel of amongst other players And they said you know when this guy gets in the game. He's a major impact So as young kids, you know, I'm being immature every time I come to Lock Room. Oh watch out here comes major impact It comes major impact and I thought it was like something kind of cool So when I got into music, which we was talking about ever talked about more. I need a rapper name, a music artist name, or a writer name, and I just chose major impact, was actual name.

I made it a Fissue three and a half years ago when I ran for mayor of Pasadena, simply because no one knew me as Courtney LaPaul Williams, which is what my mother named me, which gave me a lot of fights early on. And it's really simplistic. It was no long drawn out story when it come to that. Courtney, by the way, wasn't it like a Stacey Augment? Stacey Augment, right? That's a plastic man. Yeah, plastic man. He played a... You and I have to see it, you and I have to see it. We went under the coach, right? And then he also played... Larry Johnson.

Larry Johnson, he went to the Hawks, I believe. The guy with the left-handed just blanked the guy the way he was. What makes you bring up Stacey? And then he also Johnson Larry Johnson he went to the hogs. I believe that I was left handed just Yeah, the guy the way he was the name Courtney Stacy. I think some of the names kind of go both ways But I got to tell you I gotta tell you I like major Williams. That's a killer name That's kind of like Chris Paul one day added the NBA. He says changes his name to a general Paul You know, it's kind of like that because they call it a general. So general Paul. So you're not advocating he goes back to court name. No, we're going to major.

I think I think I think I'm a major. I think, look, if my mom, she wanted an ex-Sasha. I swore to God, if my mom were one that did hate for my dad, I would have changed it also to Patrick with David. There's no way I'm going to be a Sasha with David. So I can, I can respect that. But you do respect Sasha, Baron Cohen. He's phenomenal.

He's so talented. It's ridiculous how he gets into those places. So let's go to the website on what you're running for. Kai, if you can find that, but meanwhile, why don't you kind of tell us some of the issues you're running for? So running on. You know, I mean, the whole pretense of why exists is because I've been in political climate for the last four and a half years behind the scenes to be able to see the type

of roles of candidates and also leadership. And I just believe simplicity, the bigger the government, the smaller the people. And so I just ran under the pretense of what I represent. I represent freedom, I represent liberty, I represent lower taxes, and also having leadership in place that wants to empower people. When is the last time you've been inspired by someone in a political position and motivating people and just really caring about education in the sense that I'm going to be supportive of trade school and also supportive of small businesses by inter-state.

And also just making sure that you have someone as a champion that's against mandatory type of leadership, especially when it comes to vaccines and bills like SB276 and 277. And so I wanted to present myself as an alternative and even to take it a step further, I wanted to be that barrier breaker, right? The person that's not traditionally so-called, traditionally qualified for these particular roles. I don't come from 10 different, you know, master degrees or I'm not a millionaire billionaire type of individual So what I'm doing is essentially planning to see in the next generation of what politicians or political service

Individuals can be moving forward and if that's what I inspire That's something I will hold dear to as well. You know, it's interesting just pat pat a California perspective here You know, they're really I mean, that was the time to do it I mean they needed 1.5 million signatures. They got two million, at least two million. That's what they're looking for. And that's during the lockdown. Right. Right.

You know, I'm just curious, was there a seminal moment for you? Because for a lot of people that turned on Newsom in California, it was the French laundry dinner, right? That's when it just solidified everything that he's got to go. He does not get it. Right. He's dangerous. And then his lack of opening schools was the other big time. He is in major trouble. I

think major major major. But was there a moment for you that were you said, I got to get in this. I got to go after this guy and get him out. Well, I think I was personally affected. You know, my wife has a small business that I help her run as well too. And her business has never it hasn't opened back up. It's been close as March of last year. And so I was personally affected, but also being in the political climate, I've been behind the scenes to have those conversations

with family members and one of the most touching moments, well, not really touching moment, but one moment that resonated with a parent sharing with me and her son, that committed suicide. And this kid got hurt as junior year. He worked his butt off to get prepared for a senior year. So he didn't get a chance to do that. He's on Instagram watching his other kids

that played his junior year, still get scholarships, even though they haven't played it all year. And they took a toll on them. And she shared their story and I literally had chills and I had tears in my eyes. I heard about that story. And I had tears in my eyes when she was sharing this very intimate, personal story. And so I do not like bullies. I've never liked bullies. Even in high school I was five, seven skinny, soaking wet, I will always protect people around me. And I feel like Governor Gavin Newsom and his whole leadership style is bullying into a point where you punish in business owners

for having the audacity to want to take care of their families and put food in their tables and punish your kids during this whole extended over politicized lockdown. And so at some point, who's going to be that champion? It always takes a certain moment, a theme or storyline to kind of change the narrative. And if I can be a part of that, that's what my intention is. And so that was one of the things that kind of triggered

me to really have this motivation to move forward on it. That's big. By the way, Kai, if you go out to the homepage, go to the homepage so everybody can see this. And do me if everyone flip the screen, go to the screen, make a smaller so the folks can see. Go all the way to the bottom. You'll see the middle says for a four against did you change? Okay? Keep going go a little lower when I'm on the side I go to the bottom and tells me what he's for what he's against So I am on major for governor.com. Is that what you're on? Okay, right? Where's the say he's for and he's not the top should be all up? phone up okay right there okay pro-god family freedom

life helios firefighters first responders on forces force management legal immigration second-choice community collaboration second-mediment innovation entrepreneurship sounds like Texas or Florida anti mandatory vaccination human traffic and voter fraud high taxes over regulation hate group socialism communism online, defunding police, sounds like Washington, New York and California. So the question for you, you lived in Texas for quite some time, for you moved from Dallas, Texas. So there's a couple different kinds of friends

that I have in California. I lived in California 24 years, right? In February of 2015, we left and we moved 2016, we moved to Texas. Dallas. And I put my headquarters in Addison and we were there for five years. Our headquarters, the insurance company I run, is still headquartered in Dallas. I moved a media company over here. We have now roughly 30 employees. We're here in Boca, Rotorburg. So I'm one of the guys that left Iran, right?

Went to Germany at a refugee camp as much as I love Iran. It was tough to kind of stay there with the family. They made a decision to leave. We go to Germany, then we come to LA, then I joined the army, I go to Fort Campbell, all these other places. Then I move my business to Texas, easy airport, three hours. I'm going all over the place.

I can go to New York in three hours. It's easy. Florida, downside, travel, six hours, yet, Texas,'m going all over the place. I can go to New York in three hours It's easy Florida downside travel six hours yet taxes lifestyle all of those things So if Texas and California had a baby it would be Florida. That's what I always say right but in California There's two communities Here's a two communities and I'm curious and how you're gonna speak to both of these communities the one community is those who Are sitting there saying, I don't know if this thing's gonna change anytime soon.

If you go back and look at the last Republican was Arnold Schwarzenegger, when he was not really a Republican, he was more of a center left somewhat right, but some issues left, some issues right. No one would consider him as a real Republican. Maybe the last Republican may have been an Armenian, by the way, Duke Medjian, right?

There was somebody after him that was also a Republican after Duke Medjian. But what do you say to the folks who are in California who have no desire to leave? Their families are there, they grew up there, they grew up there, friends, relationship, restaurants, small businesses, churches they go to. They really don't want to leave the place.

But if they get forced, they're willing to make the move just like a lot of these other guys made were in teleleft to Texas. You know, you got musk left, you got the rogan left, you got a bunch of these. Phil and Michael, oracle left. Michael some left years ago. You're saying the trash and they wrote an article about him. And then Tiger talks about it quite like this. And don't talk about you left, California.

Just kind of keep it down. Well, tell me about the love letter you wrote. Yeah, I wrote a love letter to California. But the question I got for you is both to both the folks who are thinking about leaving. And those who the ideas become more serious, well, maybe it's not in the next three, six, 12 months. Maybe it's a two, three, four, five year move.

What would you tell them for them to reconsider on or to leave the state of California? Well, I would tell them, there's still a lot of opportunity. California is the epitome of states, like it's the brand of brand of all states. Regardless of whatever we're going through right now, there's an opportunity for it to quickly turn around

with the right culture and leadership in place. And so if you understand what we are representative of in regards to what we're offering with our brand and the leadership, that in itself should give you some excitement. But what I've found traveling across the state of California for the last year is that everyone is united in frustration and I always say that everyone is united in frustration. And as you hit on earlier today, there's so much opportunity. People are looking for the opportunity. So if you have someone that comes in

with better solutions and better ideals, there is a dynamic that tells people that we can change it. And they're not, they're in a place right now where no one is speaking to them to kind of change it. No one is actually trying to work to solve their problems. And what makes you meet uniquely different is that, I let them join the conversation of how we change things here in the state of California.

And a lot of people have done that. It's normally the politician saying, I have the magic wand, I have it all figured out. I have all the answers, trusting me, believing me, whereas I say, I believe in us. So far, we've been in the stands of frustration together. Now we have to take ourselves out of the stands of frustration, get on the battlefield and

up political arena or our state, put on judges and fight for it collectively together as players versus being spectators. And that message in itself gets people fired up and it changes the mindset of what you really think about this particular state because it can change significantly easy. If California was a business-friendly state, the dynamics drastically changed because it's a domino effect.

If you changed the economics and the budget criteria, it affects everything else including homelessness. And I actually took your advice in regards to my platform. I don't know if you saw me posting about it in regards to eliminating the state tax, right? And bring it in and implement an notorious tax. That was something not directly someone sent me the link.

I was like, I like that. And so I adopted that. And so that's flexible leadership that's actually trying to- It shows your list then. It shows your list to what the people are saying. Absolutely, nothing. That's what's resonated.

And I think that conversation in itself gives them a little pause. You know why I like his angle is because it's the complete opposite. Here's a guy who left Texas to California. You know, you look at the stats on the state of Texas is California. Last year the entire population increased by

20,000 net only 20,000. That's a small number. When you have 40 million people, 41 million people making babies, you shouldn't increase by 20,000. I think 132,000 people left last year, stayed in California to another place. 132,600.

132,000, that's the third highest ever. That's the third highest ever in a year, too. It's not the highest, but it's the third highest ever. I think your approach, because think about it this way. California, Florida, Texas, New York, when COVID hit, it was those four players. It's almost like Eastern Conference, Western Conference, right? You got Eastern Conference, you got, you know,

the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, you got the, the, the, the,. Mm-hmm. You got Texas head coach He's the big winners right now. Can we say when it first started, it was a, it was a promo show. It was all a promo show. Coma was on TV every day. Big time, right? He's on TV. You were on team Coma. I, slightly. I loved seeing him and his brother banter.

That was for me. I like a good banter. I just watched those guys go out and I'm like, man, I, I'd love to just see how this family is doing Thanksgiving. I appreciate that kind of banter, right? But next thing you know, you know, this guy went from Como could be the next president, he can go up against Trump and people are like, well, this could be the next candidate as, you

know, what do you call it, Democratic president and new some of the superstars. Look what they're doing, responsible decisions they're making. And, and, and Abbott and the Santas look like their reckless, reckless governor. So for the first six months, we were saying California is gonna win the championship. New York's gonna win the championship. Then when it came to playoff time, they screwed up.

So in other words, what we talked about earlier, the Phoenix Suns are a season team. Some teams are playoff teams, maybe California and Florida and Texas are what he called it, playoff teams. But we got a candidate like this that's presenting Texas ideas in a state like California. Imagine that. You know Pat, and here's the other thing too, and Major, you got new some right now

who I think is just governing to save his ass. I mean, basically everything he does right now is the opposite of what he was doing before. It's to appease people to give him a little bit of hope. I mean, LA is open. There were no deaths in LA the last two days. Cases are so low, it's unbelievable. But someone has a huge opportunity in California,

because people are ticked off. It's all we talk about. Like dinner parties, you get together on the week and you're talking to friends, parents, groups, and sports. What I'm hearing is, it's both Democrats and Republicans are in the same place. Totally.

And it wasn't a Republican recall. Let's make sure that we preface that. Yeah, 19% are Democrats. We looked at the numbers. Yeah, 19% of the recalls. That's what it's being built at. We're trying to spend this as this is a bunch of Trumpers, Q and on, and it's the people that storm the Capitol,

which is not true. Everybody's upset. I guess my question is, what's your strategy? Where's the opportunity for you? Because I think if you zeroed in on moms, on parents, people are really ticked off. They opened our schools for two hours. So if you've got a kid in middle school

and then one in high school like we do, you're going back and forth to school twice a day. It makes no sense. My daughter's on the track team at Mira Coast in Manhattan Beach, freshman. She doesn't know she's gonna have a meet on Friday because the county hasn't okayed it yet. They're waiting on a county to okay. Here's the last one.

Dash plays flag football. You know, he gets after it, you know, big ball, you know, playing a game of flag football for an hour. At the end of the game, they won't let them shake hands. You have to wave at them. Even though it just played. Yeah, so I think mom's parents, I think if you like zero need, it said you're for them. I mean this is plus the other thing There's gonna be over a hundred names potentially on this ballot. So they're gonna get buried if you want to be that name That people are gonna be over a hundred names on this ballot. It always is for the most part on a recall There's no limit so when when Arnie wanted there were over 100 names on the ballot because you have to answer two questions

Do you want new some out and who do you want in, right? So then you just got to have that name that people will find. Why don't you do us a favor and explain what the hell this recall even is. And before you do that, let me just kind of tee up where my mind is at, because he lived in California for 20 something years. You live in California currently.

You've been there 20 years. I'm a Florida boy, I'm a Miami boy. I didn't really realize how divisive politics was until I really started kind of mixing it up with, I'm from Florida. It's as purple as the state as it gets. I know we've had some issues, especially in 2000. But I guess it's simply put,

what the hell is going on in California? I went with Pat and he took me just to show the homeless situation that's going on there. Like, come on, you got to see what's going on there. Tom sends a video of his car getting blown up or his buddy's car getting blown up with the homeless situation. We talked about in San Francisco, there's like poop maps going on, whatever that story is right there.

So from Florida, I guess here's my question. You would always hear it's like the top 10 GDP in the world, the state of California, it's Hollywood, it's Silicon Valley, it's the largest economy. It's the largest economy. You could ski and surf in the same day. You know, California, like all you hear all these things

and now the brand is completely tarnished from what you would, I mean, depending on what you see. Right. The homeless situation, the people moving out of the state, San Francisco, Pat went down the list of names that are getting the hell out of there. What's happened? I mean, what and part, part B to that is, why is California politics so divisive? Like, we don't have that divisiveness here in Florida.

So I'm like, hold on. You got, you gave him like 17 questions. Let me tell you about why you testing him like 17 questions. Put them up. I'm gonna take them up. Why are you testing them up with you? Okay. What the hell happened to California? Let's not let's not do the recall.

Why is it so divisive and tell us about the recall? Those are the guys you said he doesn't have 10 NBA. You guys gonna make it a major impact. You're gonna have a time, don't overwhelm them. What is going on? What is going on? Why is it so divisive and explain the recall?

Well, first of all, so first of all, it tells you how Jack, up-California is the fact that Pat has to take someone to the state to see how Jack the up-it is as if it's a museum exhibit, right? Yeah. Homeless is this is rising through the roof over the last two years at his claim, I think 16 to 18%. The recal is actually happening because there's been frustration even before the lockdowns, and that's what a lot of people are not framing in full context. There have been a lot of decisions, questionable decisions based upon Gavin Newsom's leadership, some of the policies and legislation that he has supported and that he has implemented. And the process is basically getting the votes over the particular threshold, which they have done that even during the lockdown,

and been suppressed, and oppressed time and time again. And as I said earlier, people are just united in frustration. Until you change the culture of leadership, and any whether it's a company, whether it's anything, you're not going to be able to change the culture of the outcome, doing the exact same thing over and over again Expecting different results is called what it's called insanity. We all know that so in order to change that We have to have a different mindset and that's kind of like what we're offering up once more

I come into every situation with full transparency, right? And the beautiful thing about what I represent and how we're going to galvanize people and also win because people more receptive to the normal Straight forward conversation as I said earlier. I don't have a magic wand and how we're going to galvanize people and also win because people are more receptive to the normal straightforward conversation. As I said earlier, I don't have a magic one. I don't have every single answer, but if you look on my website, there is a Restore California plan. The Restore California plan is a live open document task force,

meaning that you can leave a video message and add your insight, your input versus just complaining. Now you have an opportunity to be a part of us actually coming to the table to, so I'm talking about solutions. And I think once that's implemented with a different brand leadership, we're going to see a change at a time when it comes to California. Let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a question because a current playbook of being a governor president has changed. It's changed.

Obviously Arnold did it being a celebrity. Anyone, I think 5.3 million to 3.7, 3.9 million when he went up against an opponent, his opponent and O's, whatever the year was when he won. O3. Yeah. O3. So, so the playbook is the rock. Will you run for office? You know what I would, I don't know if God is looking down saying he sees it, you know, big, that, that, you can tell that was kind of like he was prepared to give that answer. But you know, if it came down to it, I would love to be a president.

So what's Roxane? He's hinting that he's gonna run because he's following Arnold and Trump's playbook. Like look at Trump becomes a president through Twitter. Obama, he realizes what's going on with social media, gives that 2004 speech. Everybody's talking about around the world. He becomes a rock star boom.

He becomes a president, right? Your presence online is not strong yet. You don't have a big enough presence. So how do you plan on making up for that? Because messaging, if I close my eyes and I just listen to what you're saying, I'm like amazing, phenomenal, fantastic, great. I agree, I like it, I love it.

Your biggest enemy will be raising money. Who was the other one that's running for governor in the state of California, cox is it? That had $19 million or something? The last time you ran, yeah. The last time. And you already put up a million dollars of money. Yeah, so you're gonna have a money issue.

You're gonna have a social media, not saying you, that's what I'm trying to say. What you're gonna say. Money issue, social media issue, a big name endorsing you issue to bring you out as a star because you know a lot of times someone needs to come out and say this guy is a star. Let's get behind him, right? Right.

You can't have Trump do that to you because if you that you're not gonna win the state of California. Absolutely. So it's not Trump's in your big star. It cannot be Romney. We saw what happened to Romney yesterday. He's boot off the stage. He's boot off the stage. If you have Tim Scott, you know, if you have a, you know,

Thomas Sol, you know, he's a, he can't even, he's not even going out nowadays. What is gonna be your strategy to go through those three, you know, hurdles you're gonna be facing by in order to become a governor? So I don't necessarily look at as a hurdle, I look at as an amazing opportunity because you have to look at the full context.

Know my social media isn't as huge as some of the people that you may be speaking of, but the thing about it, look at how fast is risen. My social media has only been in existence for 317 days. And we really at a million followers, but we're being shadow banned and suppressed.

But I also believe that the representation of the message and what I represent when I go out and speak with the farmers, when I go out and speak in the I represent when I go out and speak with the farmers, when I go out and speak in the projects, when I go out and speak with the soccer moms, resonates differently than anyone else when it comes to messaging. And I think that's what a lot of people are missing. And I tell people, I feel like our campaign is a hit record, but it just isn't fully funded yet.

You have to understand, I am the first candidate to register to run for governor with the pretence of it being in 2022. So I've been in this game longer enough to understand pace and also win to peak. So when people are professing that I'm not going to raise enough money, this is what I do. My background is in marketing. My super power is making that presentation, whether it was your product, your service or whatever, to get the yes to check off when churches are amen. This is what I do, right?

And so I understand the dynamics of patients, and I like being in the position of so-called underdog, where he's not, no, it's patients, and I just have to peak at the right time. Even if it's 100 candidates, it doesn't matter. If I peak at the right moment, because I do have those like abilities, if you close your eyes, and I stand for a lot of things

that you appreciate, if I peak at the right moment close your eyes and I stand for a lot of things that you appreciate If I peek at the right moment at the right time I have a lot of dynamics that can win votes from all sides Which is why we have so many volunteers at a Democrats independence libertarians etc Because we have such a broad understanding of how to connect with people. That's the first thing I noticed on your website was 2022 So regardless what happens is fall you in it next fall to 2022. Okay.

I think a long term, I think a long term, you know, you're a start. Long term, I think is going to eventually happen. My challenge is guys want you today. Guys want a person that you stand for these things today, not eight years from now or you know, you know, Cal God knows California needs somebody with those belief systems today. By the way, if you're, if you're following the podcast and you're enjoying what we're talking about, smash that thumbs up button.

Uh, uh, uh, if you're glad that we have a major Williams on and hit the subscribe buttons while you're on there. By the way, I put major Williams Instagram profile in the chat box. If you haven't followed them, go give them a follow. I just put the link right there. Literally click on it, go give them a follow. Maybe even the, the mm, the mm him a message. But just put the link right there, literally click on it, go give them a follow, maybe even DM him a message.

But go back to that, go back to, you know, you running for, you know, governor. So let's just say we have a hundred candidates, right? Has anybody at start trashing you and, you know, spreading rumors, has that happened yet? Has that happened where they're writing negative articles against you? Have you already experienced a little bit of that

because that's actually a very good thing if you have. Yeah. So even when I ran for mayor of Pasadena, God created an Instagram page specifically for me. It's called Protect Pasadena. And it's all stuff of me, trash of me. So of course, two weeks ago, I spoke at the San Diego GOP. The four out of all the candidates, they only invited four candidates. It was me, it was Doug, I see at the San Diego GOP. Out of all the candidates, they're only invited

at four candidates. It was me, it was Doug Aussie, it was Kevin Faulkner, it was John Cox. So that just rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, the fact that they still invited me. And why did it rub people the wrong way that you got invited? Because the audacity of some of these people

feel like they're more credible, or they've been in this a long time, right? And the fact that they invited major Williams, and all these people like this guy, why did they like him? So after that, I spoke first, I've literated everyone. We did a random raffle, and I spoke my truth. It's alive on social media, and I closed by saying

California isn't missing their riches or smartest leader. California's missing a leader, and also a candidate with relatability. Boom, mic drop. And after that, the date, the next day, a tax galore. Sure. So there's a hundred people running for this runoff.

Would you just kind of back up? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,. So she, we're going with she, she not getting invited to the stage. She's got name presence. Yeah, hand a now shit. Okay, gotcha. That was no announcement. Is that someone who you're looking at as a legitimate competitor?

No, I'm not, I'm not looking at anyone as a competitor. I say personally, I would vote for an electrician before I vote for any of the people that are there now because at least in thatian does in completion. All these individuals, by the way, can you say that one more time, folks, if you were doing anything else, I heard you say that at one of your rallies, you were up there on stage talking about it. Please listen to what he just said. Can you repeat that one more time? So the person that I would vote for or I would wish was running with someone that has like the pedigree of an electrician because at least in electrician, they deal in completion. And what I mean by that is your habits and your mindset.

And when you go into an office or house or whatever, they have to complete that job to get the yes or the approval, right? So that's the process. Politicians don't deal in completion. They deal in pushing paper and pushing and pushing the narrative on someone else. That's the top.

How did you, that even? Well, I'm an entrepreneur and small business owner. So, me and my wife have to figure out creatively dealing with pushing paper and pushing and pushing the narrative on someone else. That's the top of that. How did you, that even? Well, I'm an entrepreneur and small business owner, so me and my wife have to figure out creatively how to keep the lights on every single month. So we're always ambitiously working towards completion. We have to have completion to take care of our three boys. Politicians, these guys are career scholars or academia, right? And they just, they don't have, they don't have any imagination on how to solve the so-called complex issues and problems that they continue to talk about I have

I have a marketing strategy for you that I'm gonna I'm gonna share with you here publicly But a guy here is asking a question Raiyu Kirito just gave ten bucks to see what's your plan to lower taxes? I make $20 and 50 cents and now when I seem barely to scrape by when I I get overtime or make extra in two week pay, I've been taxed as much as $700 for that. How do you plan on lowering taxes in the state of California? One of the ways, so we can't even address taxes until you have leadership in place that wants, that understands how to create new revenue.

New revenue actually allows you to go to the table to talk about reducing taxes. And so for me, it's about making California business friendly, reducing regulations, and also giving incentives to bring businesses back, also to support the small business as well. Once you do that, then you can actually sit at the table with the legislators

to talk about reducing taxes. The reason why I use that first is because the first thing legislators are going to tell you is that we can't reduce taxes because it's for this or because it's for this. But if you have leadership that knows how to create a dollar, that knows how to create a new revenue, they kinda like counsels that out, right?

And so it has to be layers. It is chess, it's not checkers, you have to have pace and strategy when it comes to that. But that is intent. You're gonna make a lot of media people uncomfortable because they're not gonna know what to do with you. I mean, the LA Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, you know, the big media outlets. That's what's great about it. Yeah, but they know what to do with you. I mean, the LA Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, you know, the big media.

That's what's great about it. Yeah, but I know the dude with me, they're going to trash me. Yeah, but you know what, that just shows how hypocritical they are because they're all for inclusion and everything else until it's a Republican or something. What do they call them, Scott? They call them Uncle Tom. Yeah, yeah, Uncle Tim. Yeah, Uncle Tim.

Uncle Tim, Uncle Tim. So it's interesting. You know, why would you say they would know what to do with them? Because he makes a lot of sense. Number one, and he's African-American, you know, and it's interesting. Why would you say they would know what to do with them? Because he makes a lot of sense, number one, and he's African-American. And it should be somebody that they should be getting behind and supporting, especially with all the common sense ideas. They're saying just because he's a Republican,

they will not have any part of it. Well, pretty much, yeah. Republican-African-American. Those two, go to get, by the way, what do you think about when he's my Martin Luther King? For me, he was inspirational. I love the fact that he was complex, I love the fact that he wasn't perfect, but I also know that his words resonated with many people during that time and period, and it resonates even to this day for a lot of people. Now, that's the poster that I had

on my wall growing up as well,. But I also showed resentment for history because those are the only brands that I knew growing up when now as a mature adult and find that there are so many other individuals that are out there as well. Such as, well, I mean, even in my high school in elementary, we never even heard of like Frederick Douglass. And that's crazy because that's like, even now,

like we know of that, right? And so, um, his writing, he, what's the one book he wrote? The, um, uh, he, he's the complete opposite of victimhood mentality. That's what he writes about. Uh-huh. Whatever is the opposite of victimhood, man, he says, responsibility, you can make a change, you can make something happen for yourself accountability, accountability is a big thing. Yeah. And you were telling me about that when we spoke in my studio over there about how you had to look in the mirror and you said, I wasn't reading. And you had to take accountability and say, all right, I need to step my game up. Tell us about that.

Well, I hear the point in my life where I was 12 years ago, I was in the club in Hollywood. And everybody was having fun and the lights were strobing and people popping while they were on the road. I would have mentioned that. And literally, you know, it was one of those moments where everything was moving in slow motion. Like, why is everything moving in slow motion, right? Everything's moving in slow motion,

so I started reflecting, and I remember something I said, I just paid $20 to park, and I'm in the club right now, and I have no money to even buy a drink. And, you know, my wife is at home, and like, what am I, I'm a grown, you know, 30-something-year-old guy, why am I in the club right now? What is my life worth? What is my legacy going to be?

Which is why I stayed today. The two top things that are most important to me right now is what are my three sons and my wife are going to say about me when it's all set and done at my eulogy. And the other component is what is the legacy and the value that I added while I was here. And so from that particular date, that night night I went home and cried a lot. My wife's shoulder and said, I've been a failure.

My wife slapped me and said, no, you're not getting it together. We moved out of Hollywood area. We moved to Pasadena, California. I spent two years in the Pasadena public library reeducating and reprogramming myself. By myself came out, created a social media company, had 200 small businesses. I was doing a social media for a pay me a thousand dollars a month for six months, agreements and everything. Gus is the dynamic change from there.

Love that. Let's go back on what we were talking about. So, Frederick Douglass, big inspiration, who else? What are the names? I got really into Les Brown. Les Brown is legendary. No question about it. In regards to his mindset, the way he thinks,

but more importantly, and this is why I resonate, it's through the story, right? It's not necessarily just like the bully points of his share, it's actually the story that walk you through his life that makes that personal connection with you. You know, the fact that my ability to walk in a project and speak with the kid with his parents sagging with braids and also speak to the soccer moms,

but also speak with the million and billionaires because why I've existing in all those spaces successfully but I'll have real experiences in those spaces. So people like that are very inspiring to me. How about Thomas Soul? I love Thomas Soul. I love him. I've been into him for the last four and a half years

and it's just a different, it's just refreshing, right? It's one of a kind. It's refreshing to see someone think at a higher plane like that and just kind, right? It's one of a kind. It's refreshing to see someone think at a higher plane like that and just kind of like pushes you to be a better self. So Martin Luther King, he was a registered Republican, right? Who would have MLK been today?

So bring him to today. Who would he have been? So imagine all the protesting, all the writing that's going on, the looting, the business, all the stuff that happened in 2020. Who would he have been out there campaigning today? That's a good question. I believe would he have been supportive of the BLM movement?

No. He wouldn't have been supportive of the building. I don't think so. He would have been a supportive of Black Lives Matter as a name, as a, you know, but not what. Not the organization in their missions they made. We wouldn't be for that. Are you?

I'm for Black community, I'm for our lives, I'm a matter. You know, break down the difference. That's being a Black man who's, you said, seen all sides of the track, and you can speak to anyone, what is BLM, what is the Black community, give us as a father, you know, everything, package it all up. Well, the black community is very simplistic.

It's just the black culture, it's the black community. You know, the black, the BLLIM is kind of, it's an organization. So it's a separate entity that you can actually join to be a part of, that you bought into base upon their ideology, the process and things that they produce or don't produce. Of course, we find that there's a lot of things that they don't produce in regards to the money that they've raised because they haven't put back into the black community and the culture. But for me, I can't stand besides someone

or organization a group that has that mindset or the structure with their mission statement. And I think is a very divisive tool. When you see, because I know you played some ball, I used to play a little ball, so did Mr. Zenn over here. We got the Middle Eastern Dennis Rodman and DVD over here.

Yeah, great elbows. Great elbows, watch out for those elbows. I like it. But when you see, is it Greg? Yes, okay, he was in the, and the point that I'm getting as an NBA, they took a very clear cut line stance on BLM, social justice, their ratings kind of tanked.

I mean, my heat were in the final, so I was good with that all, but it lakers the one that won the finals, LA. So, some that all up, how, I mean, are you a LeBron guy, are you not a LeBron guy, are you part of the social justice? How do you deal with all that? There's different perspectives on all that.

Where my perspective is, I'm going to exist in my own particular free will in my own space. I believe I love LeBron's skill set. I love his personal agenda on how he's orchestrated his family and also his friends that he's put around him. He has a great blueprint for other people to follow. I'm just not aligned with his political beliefs and some of the things that he's done

and how he has used his platform. I've actually reached out to him via Instagram because I would love to have a different conversation with him. When you're at that height in that particular level, you have certain people around you and I was a Democrat by default, right? And they took for someone to kind of like, enlighten me on policies.

When did that happen to you? Four and a half years ago. Who was that that sat down with you? Gentlemen by the name of Cole Harris, he ran for Lieutenant Governor of California. That was my entry into politics. What was the, what was the, what did he say to you that you flipped? So we're in his backyard at a birthday party at his house

and he leaned over to me and said, I'm going to be running for Lieutenant Governor. The first thing I said, what is that? I didn't even know what Lieutenant Governor called for. That's four and a half years ago. Yeah, four and a half years ago.-Trump yes okay well right around the same time so as a fair to say you were no bomb a guy at least until that oh absolutely okay but from the just by default wasn't because I can remember any kind of great policies because

they don't exist right and then we saw that then we saw it going like that line right there boom boom then we saw it going down the rabbit hole of policy. And what I was able to identify as a free thinker, as it was a policies that was beneficial and also detrimental. But then I was able to apply that to how I grew up. So my mother used to tell me that the government loved us, but what she really meant was Democrat loved us. The Democrats loved us simply because of the wear for a check she was getting.

So as a kid and your mother is telling you this, they're protecting us. So I feel that they're for us, but there is a ceiling, right? People that, you know, you don't understand that at that particular point. Conservatism for me and my guy, Cole Harris, I'm speaking about, it was explained simplistically like Republicans and conservatives. We rather show you how I made that $100 versus give you that $100, because that empowers you. You know, I love what you said about LeBron, because I think that would be a great strategy for you,

because whether you like LeBron's politics or not, and he's very polarizing, and he's really, really gone, really far lately, but he's brilliant, he's smart. I mean, you can't argue with that. And I don't think he'd have a lot of arguments against you. And I think if you could have a reasonable conversation, that's what you said. But my thing is, if black and barbed-chop, you should at least talk to me. I'm making history, but you have so much credibility to have that conversation with him. And hopefully he'd be allowed himself to listen because you would not have a bigger megaphone. And if you don't go, go to

Maverick Carter. He's an entrepreneur, just like you. Yeah go go to those guys and stay at him because that would be a great conversation. I have heard back from their camp at all. Not yet, but I do need to reach out to the additional individuals like Maverick and also Rich Paul as well too because like I say I love their story. I like the fact that he empowered them and made them educated to come on board to help him run his organization, what not. And if they're actually interested in making an impact and making a change, they should sit down and have a conversation with you.

Because what we've seen is if you don't speak, you know, to use an international relations, you don't make peace with your friends, you make peace with your enemies. And I'm not saying that you guys are enemies. But finding some common ground, especially you running as for governor it would be it would be very advantageous for you to tell a bron you need to get in the barbershop i mean that was created for debate i think he had got to invite you right into that show

and i would go i will actually never seems like the kind of guy that would bring likelihood of that happening likelihood of that i'm gonna hold out hope. I'm gonna say 30%. Likelihood of that happening. Give me a percentage. Likelihood of LeBron actually putting them at the ball. Cause LeBron likes to be challenged. So let's see if he's gonna respond to the ball.

Likelihood of this happening and him reaching out. Cause by the way, there was another LAPD officer that reached out to LeBron as well to have a private one on one. Yeah. Big guy. I don't know if you saw that or not. This was last week. Likelihood of LeBron. I'm an optimist. I really like majors message. I think he can relate to LeBron.

Well, he he he should because we come from very similar backgrounds, right? Single parent household grew up in poverty, you know, both entrepreneurs. Both entrepreneurs, both were willing to sacrifice ourselves and work hard and just really want to do well. He created a school that was a great thing. I have my nonprofit, Major Kicks for Kids, we give away over a thousand pair of shoes. Every single year, 2,000 haircuts put on an empowerment and events for the next generation. Why do you think that someone like LeBron or someone as outspoken as any of these NBA leaders as it has not come over to your way of thinking.

As an example, you said, I mean, the fact, support. Can you tell me the first time ever, LeBron set with an opposing argument? Like, when have you ever seen LeBron sit with an opposing argument? Yeah, when he sat with the guy about coming down to South Beach, I'm taking my town to South Beach.

That's not opposing, though. Well, I got a little backlash. I'm trying to tell you, but what I'm trying to tell you is when is the last time he sat with someone that's That opposes is that what was it the fact that I'm taking my talents of South Beach. That's not opposing What it's not bad there's backlash because of a decision But what I'm asking you is when is the last time conversationally that he sat down with somebody that opposes on He's probably not a lot. He's on the sidelines doors. He only sits with yes people that say yes I agree with you. I don't know if that's what I'm excited about.

I hope I'm wrong. I'm hoping I'm wrong. I'm wrong and he says screw you Pat. Me, Maverick and Rich will see with him I hope he says you have no clue what the hell your time or what I do beyond closures phenomenal I'll go out there, so now what's wrong great, but I'm telling you right now the chances of that happening is less than 5% Yeah, on the media, but behind closed doors less than 5% of event him even meeting with major Williams behind closed doors Pepe right now major Williams in there He's in there you know

that that's a major baby you're gonna put a thousand no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no And why are a lot of the NBA guys Democrats explained that? And why are an 80, 90% of African Americans Democrats? Well, the thing about it is, as I said earlier, in my conversation, it's really by default, right? If you're cultivated under the mindset that they are for you at a very early age, you take that into your teenage years, your early adult years, and your later years, if you're not informed correctly, as Pat was saying,

if you're surrounded by yes men and people who just agree with you, that black people in general or more the LeBron. No, the black culture is strongly indebted to the Democrat policy. And you're saying that it's, what was the word you used? Inded it or what was the other word you said that it's by default?

By default, okay. By default. I've got another strategy for you. Pat, what do you think of this? He needs to get on Bill Marshall. You'd be perfect on Bill Marshall. Who's your publicist by the way? Ryan McCormick in New York.

Okay. Mar would have you. I mean, he takes different opinions and different voices. That would be a great way. By the way, you know who's playbook. You know who did a great job in the last presidential campaign that went from nobody knowing him the day before to all of a sudden being a big name. You know who?

The mayor of Notre Dame, Andrew Ying. Oh yeah. Yeah, well, that was right for mayor, right? A few days. Andrew Ying, but by the Pete Buttichoch, you gotta see these two playbooks. So today, it's possible. And I have, I have an argument to do that.

So for you, so I think that's the playbook, but here's one thing I was gonna say. Like, you know, the whole thing is, having a campaign that sticks, right? If I tell you, Hermencane, obviously he's not here with us anymore. But Hermencane's campaign was what? Nine, nine, nine. If God only wants 10%, you can give the government 9%, right? 9% federal, 9%, remember the whole thing he did with 9%.

I don't know if you remember that. I remember Hermencane, Godfather Pete's out.% remember the whole thing he did with 9 I don't know if you remember that I remember her I came Godfather pizza remember the nine That was his nine gimmick all the time and it stuck with people right right if you go to great campaigns of what they talked about That stuck you have to have a campaign that sticks a slogan that sticks right to me It would be the song by James Brown Trimie you know the song by James Brown, try me, you know the song, try me, try me, try me, right? Okay.

I thought you were going, pop has got a brand new bag or something. Before you leave California, my campaign would be try me, before you leave California, try me before you leave California. Love it. Before you leave California.

Here's why. I would focus on the people that are thinking about leaving California because those will be the true believers, not the other guys that are not gonna move. Get to the person that's sitting there. I talk to my buddy, basketball player, you know what I'm talking about. You met him. We went to Raffi's place. Steve, Steve, Father, Steve will leave in a heartbeat. You know why he can't leave? You got mom, dad, cousin, brothers, sister, business, relatives. He's supporting so many people. It's a tough, it's a tough move to leave, right? But I will tell you a lot of these guys are actually thinking about they're considering the potential of moving.

But if somebody says, look before you move try me, I'm telling you before you move California, try me. There are how many people right now in California at a 41? Let's actually want, let's actually quantify this number. Let's actually quantify this number. California's got 41 million people. What percentage of 41 is under 18? Let's pick 20%. Let's say, out of the 41 under 18 is what? 8 million. Let's see out of the 41 in California. What percentage is over 65?

That's not going to move anywhere. Let's say another 15%. So that's 35%. You got what? You got 25 million people left. Out of the 25 million people left, what percentage are Democrats that will never leave california okay let's say fifty percent which is what twenty twenty half so we're left with

twenty million added that to be more than fifty percent of the american let's say we have we have ten million left out of that ten million that's left in the city california how many of them do you think have had the conversation not that they're gonna move have had a serious conversation at the kitchen table saying bait what about Nevada what about Texas what about Florida what about you had the conversation you just have a

left many have had the conversation but they just have a left but they're on the tipping point how many people you think have had the conversation tipping point but they just can't make the move, but they've had the conversation. A lot. And you've got to be a number. 12 million more, maybe. I don't know if it's 12 million. Six, what do you think? I mean, you know, you were told that you announced to win.

That's all you need. I would say at least four million people. So that four million people keep saying 10% of Californians are considering leaving. Yeah. Is that the number? By the way, those are true believers. Believers in what? Meaning they don't want to leave.

Yeah. You can keep them, but if you can fight for me to say, dude, I love California, I don't want to leave, but I want somebody that's going to be able to make some changes before I leave because we're seriously having a conversation. If I market myself and I target a to a specific audience, that obvious audience that's a true believer, they will convert just like the recall. The recall, how many recall conversations you think happened out of kitchen table? Just like the lieutenant, just like the lieutenant governor had the conversation with them saying

hey four and a half years ago here, you know, Republicans teach you how to make a hundred bucks. Democrats say here's a hundred bucks, right? The difference on how that principle stuck with them with coal, right? If the people don't have any conversation right now, say do it before you leave, try major volumes. And I actually think that's absolutely amazing for like 11 months I worked for direct TV back in 2010,

and one of the taglines on the sales on the phones, and I was really good at it, we would say this line, so this is good for you because. It's very simple, but when you say that in gestory, in that way, it always percentage wise, got people to think and pause. And it felt like I was adding value. You know, this is good for you because, and I use that in my mayor, mayor you run as well.

I would always say that, and this is good for you because, and then I would identify the issue, the problem to cause or the fix, right? So the fact that now I'm positioning myself like try me. And I know psychologically morale the morale is low. And so for someone to present themselves as try me and it's actually me and an image of what I represent as to it. You know, and let's take it full circle. And regardless what we represent, like I'm not a career politician. I came out here with different ambitions and I've tried different things it. And let's take it full circle and we go as to what we represent. I'm not a career politician. I came out here with different ambitions and I've tried different things. That's what a lot of Americans have done.

That's what a lot of Californians have done, especially in Hollywood area. We want to be moguls or multifaceted. I've been with my wife since the third day I moved here. She was one of the many reasons why I stayed in California and we've been together 21 years. You know, I have a black wife, you know, that's a lot of conservatives don't have that as well.

There's not putty-win on blast, but when you're talking about leadership and that's relatable broadly, that factor's in as well. I'm a marketing guy, so I understand those dynamics. I think you're very marketable. Yeah, well, you got one quality going for you that's stand, you're likable. I mean, people, you got one quality going for you that's stand, you're likable. I mean, people can't walk away.

They might not agree, but they're not gonna dislike you. And that's a huge win. Because if you multiply that by every room you get into or every interview you can do, man, you can turn people. Well, that's what's happening. So the smear campaign that's happening right now is that they have nothing but they're using everything from our past Always to now to try to have ammunition to make people not like me

So they are sharing stuff my tumblr account. They're sharing like stuff from like all old stuff when I did music and all the Subscipes like how is he gonna be governor if he's making music and Runchy videos and stuff like that, but that they don't understand that they're giving me Frick motion. They give me Videos and stuff like that, but they don't understand that they're giving me free promotion That's my guy I have a question for you And I'll limit the two-part questions Everybody take a break. I'm breaking out bathroom break the opening for the major campaign is so mix a lot of Everything a little buster begins now everything with politics is base. Where can you see yourself down the road? Where can you see yourself down the road? A lot of the things that you'll

be running on are the schools are locked down, you know, the states on lockdown, but that likely won't be there in the next few months. Absolutely. That's a good point. Absolutely. That's what won't be there. So,'s my point. It's exactly, it's like, all right, great. We're like, clearly Gavin Newsom screwed up. I mean, I think he had a landslide election and 60% of the vote. Crazy numbers. And now he's obviously getting recalled.

So future based cause, how do you win? And then how does the Republican actually win California? I think that's the biggest question here. It's not about you. You clearly have great ideas It's how does the Republican actually win? So it really comes down to your skill set as a candidate Republicans have had weak candidates in the past that have some been able to have that relatability That's a different dynamic for us. You win by creating a movement have great messaging and some of the things that we're looking at even beyond that It's just identifying what was the issue

even before the lockdown, which is homelessness, and also us being on business friendly, the trucking industry love me. They're again pushed out as well, and just solving those particular issues. If you look at the dynamics of what we're presenting in the Restore California plan, it resonates beyond the lockdown.

So we're not just specifically running the campaign based upon showing the negativity that came from the lockdown. We also put in a magnifying glass on the things that were happening before COVID actually happened. We got a mid major and I'm a victim of someone who thinks emotionally rather than logically, that's something that Pat has taught me. Like chill out bro, chill out bro, let's look. So you know, policies over perception, you got it,

man, I mean, two thirds of Californians lean left. Yeah, no. No, it's true. And the thing about two thirds are more liberal. So how you win is, how you win is what I said last time, you have to, it's kind of like something I took from Les Brown. My story, having relatability, right? They cannot like Republicans or Trump,

which I supported, still do down. But it's about the story. And I only need a percentage of people. That's why when he said like 100 people could run, I really don't care because I understand how to run a successful campaign peak at the right moment. And I know that what I bring brand wise and messaging rights is different from everybody on the plan field.

I just need the right amount of exposure to putting the work to get out there and getting it from the people. I got to quote, right, you just, I got right you then I'll see question that will go into our topic. So right you, uh, Kirito, right, you not can, but right, you ask the question, what is your plan on dealing with home listeners problem? I live in Corona, California.

I will not step one foot in the LA and the problem is spreading. So we have an amazing idea when it comes to homelessness. We do not look at homelessness like a business. What's happening right now in California, the governor looks at homelessness like a business. Anytime you look at homelessness like a business, there's more incentive to actually keep it going and perpetuate this exact same cycle. And too, we have leadership that knows how to look at homelessness like a service with accountability with their accountability

aspects, accountability aspects of it, then it would change. So there are three pillars that we're going to focus on. One is mental health hospitals being reappemented back into society in California. The third one is accountable drug and rehab facilities. And the first two that I just mentioned do not work at all unless you have the third component which is wraparound services. I worked in the group home facilities and nonprofits for five years from 2003 to 2007. So I understand where wraparound services were. What is wraparound services? wraparound services then at that particular time which our co-author was working with kids that were 17 to 18 years old

to get them acclimated into adulthood, right? So with California, you have to, it's one thing to say, get mentally stable, right? Or get off those drugs, but then what? So wraparound services is a customized tool that we use to put towards each individual to get them the services that they actually need. So only then we'll be able to get people

reaclimated back to society. And it's going to take time. But if you don't have a foundation that's kind of like rooted in that, we would never get to that place where we'll put a thing in. There's one dynamic on the homeless thing to think about in LA. Now they tried to clean it up for the Oscars a little bit, right?

They probably tried to put a fresh coat of paint on it. We got the Super Bowl coming up next year. We got the World Cup two years after that, and then we've got the Olympics. There is no way that they're gonna wanna paint this picture of this homeless problem, which is so out of control now. It's unbelievable. It's sitting everywhere.

And with that comes crime. I mean, the amount of crime, people do not feel safe walking the streets of Beverly Hills. I've got friends, business owners, won't wear a fancy watch because they know that they'll get it taken from them. I just heard about this woman 65 years old in Beverly Hills, right on Beverly Boulevard coming out of a restaurant, not even armed. Guy told her, I want your watch taken, I should refuse. She's got five, two, fought the dude, got knocked down, broke her shoulder and her elbow. I mean, it's just, I heard about

that. They got to start addressing it because it is so, so out of control. I agree. I agree. And it's going to continue that way if we don't change the dynamics of how we approach it. We're looking at Echo Park, I don't know if you, when my Echo Park is,

it's almost Camp. It was a homeless camp, man. That's what it was. And then they just cleaned it up, right? We used to have used to work out and Venice Beach every Sunday. Yeah, Venice Beach. But Echo Park is not the the Echo Park 30 years ago

We used to there was a league. We were part of called a new century city basketball association. We play an Echo Park all the time It was gangsters everywhere was not the best place. I mean, we're talking. We I was part of the league with blood Blood Marasavatt Rucha. We had crib. we had black diamonds, we had, we had everybody that was there together. It was terrible, terrible ecu-park. Yeah, but we're talking like 30 years, I was 14 years old, 28 years old. Are the bloods and crips things still a thing in LA? Yeah, it's still a thing, it's still a thing, but it's just not highlighted in regards

to how it used to be. No, no, it used to be a thing. It's not what it used to be. It's more diplomatic today than what it was before. Yeah 40 years ago like colors when that came out like that's when it was Peaking what did you ever see the meme that that's going around like some guy had a Everyone's wearing face masks these days had a blue handkerchief a lady had a red handkerchief. They're like it's going down Okay, let's go. No fighting. Let's go into some issues. Let's go into some topics and issues we got here

Okay, so if you're liking a podcast so far smash that thumbs up button right 2681 major volumes I asked them what are you gonna do if we crack 3500? He says well, I don't know We're gonna have to have a shot at tequila so Adam would like for us to get to 4000. I said let's see I got a I'm a team player, but we'll see what's gonna happen Tom hasn hasn't, yeah, have you had a tequila at 10 o'clock? No, I don't think I have. Well, I don't think I've ever had to kill a 10 o'clock in them one,

but I've had it at seven o'clock in them. Right. From the previous game, it was so good. Yes, from the previous game. Well, let our viewers know there's a separate channel, smash the subscribe, everything you talk about. Yes, this is a separate channel, P.B.D. And I just say major Williams Instagram account.

Again, follow him, send him a message DM him, let him know you're watching him here. So let's go into some topics. Disneyland reopens page number two, after being closed for more than a year. Disneyland reopens after being closed for more than a year. That's a CNN business story Disneyland, but many healthy safety protocols will continue to be enforced.

The capacity of the theme park in Anaheim, California will be significantly limited to comply with the California's health, safety, requirement, and promote social distancing. I think the number is 25% capacity. In addition, until further clarification from the state of California, only California residents are allowed to visit

at Disneyland Resort theme park. So if you're at a state like we could not go to Disneyland in the state of California, in groups no larger than three per household three I mean you got what if you got two kids they'll turn you around you have three kids single mother would do it yeah we don't want to go coming here additional leave health safety measures include requirements based coverage for all kids two years old and older two year old temperature screenings for all guests entering the park, cashless transactions and capacity limitations

at attractions, Disneyland's Union have pushed California governor, knows them to reopen the park. Earlier this year, group of California state assembly members also proposed a bill aimed at speeding the reopen in Disneyland and other large team parks in the state. So, I'll go to you first major Williams. What do you think about that? Well, I, you know, I think it's been overextended in regards to the lockdowns and, I don't know, it's just, I mean, look at the dynamics, you know, how they're limiting and creating this fear and just this hesitation that's happening. I think it's bad culturally, I think it's bad psychologically, and I just don't get like the rationale, the common sense aspect of it. I think it bad culturally, I think is bad psychologically, and I just don't get like the rationale, the common sense aspect of it.

I think it's once more, it's not even an overreach, right? It's not like an overreach, it's just like silliness at the end of the day. So, there's no elaboration on it. It's just ridiculous. If you were governor, what would you do in this instance? What would your Disneyland policy be? Well, I don't know.

I don't know the reach of a governor when it comes to Disneyland. Well, you got security. You get on in a ride you want. Right away there's no lines, man. When you're governor. Oh, you got the real speed pass. Only with two people.

The ultimate slack. Relax. I don't know. Like I said, that's something you wouldn't delve into is what you're saying. I mean, I believe that from a statewide perspective in policy, it would be very transparent

in regards to where I stand when it comes to that, but I think it'd be a little bit harder, legally and legislation-wise, when it comes to some company like Disneyland. One of the good things is, I don't know if you saw this, but when you enter Disneyland now, the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs are offering you free COVID vaccines.

I mean, they're working on it. They're working on it. This is amazing. They're keeping a busy. This is it. This is your kids to Disneyland. I'm not going to do it now because it's way too much. That was a joke. Yeah, that was a joke. Yeah, that was a joke. Oh my god. My god. You know, I never really did stand once. You got a lot of Tom has jokes. You have to be ready. You don't know. You don't know what you're getting. You know, you're going to see more of this from new. Some unfortunately he's's gonna open up Disneyland more and more and declare it a win.

Here's the one thing that scared me the most. I don't know if you guys heard this. Kamala Harris addressed the United Nations and this kind of has something to do with Disneyland. But, she says, you hear her say, we gotta get ready for the next pandemic. I mean, did you hear her say that? I mean, I cannot believe that.

And it also makes me think about all those businesses in Orange County, those small businesses, the hotels, all the vendors. I mean, there are so many businesses that went under and it is just so ruthless of what happened there. And you wonder, is he against them? Or was this a strategy to shut down some small businesses? You will have people say that that's been part of his strategy as well to literally take out some of the small businesses and making it offended on it. But I think psychologically it's helpful that Disneyland is open. It's the happiest place on earth.

Right. You know, it should be open. So you live there, why you wouldn't take your family? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no have a reservation first, but you can't just go you can't just you can't even buy I'm going to dinner. Can you imagine you got to make a reservation? I'll do a party of four six o'clock Friday night. Yeah, pathetic. What they're doing over there. Why don't we talk about what you did you did a how-to board episode about What this is the land versus the world give us a little insight to that? It's the exact same situation I gave you where you have the Eastern Conference, Western Connery. You have the whole thing with California and, you know, California and New York against Texas and Florida. The Sanctus like, like, we'll keep in this thing world open. Don't even sweat it. And Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob I grew, who was sitting on the board for Newsom. He was helping on Newsom on bringing back, you know, the state of California,

the moment Newsom announced that he's still keeping a shutdown, the next day, Baba Iguarizan. I'm not even doing this. Baba Iguar is a Democrat who thought about running for office when he wrote his book, you know, the book that he wrote about his... Right, right of a lifetime. Right of a lifetime. Yeah, so here's a CEO, he's got two, you got Disneyland, California, Disney World, Florida.

He's a Democrat, he's sitting there saying, what's the most Democrat? And why are my Democrat friends keeping my place closed? And I lost 70, you know, 78,000 jobs. And over here they're keeping it open. And my guys over there have jobs and small business owners around there, they're staying in business,

but small business owners around Disneyland that rely on that traffic. Right. They're going out of business. Well, speaking of Bob Eiger and Big Wigs that are kind of in New Soms camp, I think a lot of people in Silicon Valley just came out in support of New So yeah, what is that story? Why are they behind him?

Why is Big Tech behind him? Why is Silicon Valley behind him? They're the ones saying that it's a Republican recall. Give us some insight on that. I mean, it isn in our best interest though. So when it comes down to policy and legislation and regulations, he's always sided with them when it comes to that. So, I mean, that's a no brainer for the tech industry.

I don't know if it's like universally with the tech industry, but a big portion of the tech industry are going to be for the champion. That's for them. And that's what's happening. I just want to talk about Disneyland once more in regards to the businesses that have been affected. The reason why Governor Gavin Newsom can make those unimpehetic

decisions is because he has never personally physically built the business. He's never had a dream or ideal that he's manifested and had that moment when he had that first sale or had that opening and whatever like some of these small business that are suffering, right? So it's hard to kind of lead or make decisions based upon that, like, you know, you kind of up here. And that's what uniquely makes me different, you know, than everyone else, because I have been a part of that dream or that aspect of having that first creative ideal

and seeing it manifest. So I know how to govern when it comes to that. And it shouldn't be one size fit all, which is where he really failed. And I say this wholeheartedly, Governor Gavin Newsom could have been deemed the best governor of California at the beginning of all this.

But because of busy guided decisions and his stances and been seen at French laundry, he dropped the ball greatly. And I think essentially I exist because of him and we're gonna punish him for that and we're gonna get him out. There's no doubt you're right about what you just said. I mean, we talked about earlier that he won in a landslide

and now he's getting recalled. So clearly his decision making ability is questionable. Let's talk about what happened with Snow White. So new scene from Disneyland Snow White ride is prompting backlash Fox business story Just days after this in line has reopened with an update to its snow white attraction the move is already receiving backlash according to Disney snow white's enchanted Wish takes guests abroad aboard a wooden mini card as a company the princess as she escapes the clutches of the evil queen. However, it's the true loves kiss grand finale between Snow White and her prince that has drawn scrutiny from San Francisco gate. The new grand finale of Snow White's enchanting wishes the most

moment when the prince finds Snow White asleep under the evil queen's spell and gives her true loves kiss to release her from enchantment, doubt that writes, a kiss he gives to her without her consent, while she's asleep, which cannot possibly be true love if only one person knows it's happening. Have we already agreed that the consent in early Disney movies are major issue, that teaching kids, that kissing, when it hasn't been established if both parties are willing to engage, is not okay, the San Francisco Gate set.

Adam, I'm gonna go to you first, because I know you're like, you're with them. You agree with them. This is an insult. Tell us what you think about the story. Well, is it a story from the onion, or is this a real story? No, no, this is a real story from the Fox business,

regarding what San Francisco Gate had to say about it. All right, well, I'm with the team, you know, the MeToo movement people, I understand, you know, there's some creepy dudes out there that You know the Harvey Weinstein's of the world the Cosby's of the world that have definitely created this but let's let's Again, this is even a story. Let's talk about all right. You're sleeping snow white You wake up Tell me where you'd like to be Mrs. White. You want to be in the castle with the Prince?

Or you want to be in a dwarf motel over there down the street with seven random midgets that you're living with I'm taking the prince bro like so random midgets I'm just it's not like she's living a life of life of luxury some print shows up sweeps her off her feet brings her to the castle little people you can't you can't you can't you know I'm staying over here with these seven little people in some sort of hostile You want the you want the gasoline want the hostile your picks now Why the only thing is you need to be kissed while you're sleeping so I'm going with the kiss. How do you process did like actually? How do you process that's how I process it?

I'm going to prince I you lot random midgets man. I was, that was a drop. You're going, that was drop the mic right there. You know, it's literally me. You got sleepy and dopey and grumpy and humpy. Yeah, exactly. You know, you've got these mental widgets. Why do people, people don't think this is a real story. This is a real story. I mean, it's disturbing.

It's just, it's cancel culture. It's fine. You're canceling the prince. Yeah. Come on now. Next thing you know, you're going to cancel Prince that came from coming to America, this can happen. No, that definitely failed.

My only hope and my prayer is that there is a tipping point in this country where sanity prevails. Right. And I'm holding out hope that we will reach that threshold because I think more people have common sense than don't. Now, there's gonna be a market out there for people that are offended by this or thinks this is legit,

and then let you take out your little microscopes and look at every piece of film that's ever been done in the history of mankind. And by the way, is there a company more woke than Disney? Now, you're trying to cancel a Disney character? It's unbelievable. You can never satisfy these people. You will never say she ate their appetite

to destroy careers, to destroy history history pop culture and that kind of thing But we don't have to let them govern us. We don't have to take what they throw down our throw and say this is right It's wrong. It's stupid. Just have some common sense and laugh at it. Yeah, Adam a Pete got some real legit to counsel for He says lay off the LSD is what he says. Yeah, it's a very You know, we do my best but the last that I totally understand if you want to skip this story there's no upside-down no but you tell that story we just talk about this leads me to the jazzy story okay here's what jazzy says on page 11 if you want to go to last page we got

there jazzy all the way at the bottom jazzy says cancel culture is here to stay and feel sorry for the younger generation It's unbelievable Metro UK story Jay Z has shared the stats on the Internet cancel culture and predicts it'll be around as long as social media Exist cancel culture has been discussed increasingly in recent years and involves large groups or fandoms deciding to essentially erase a Celebrity or public figures career and public celebrity or public figures career and public prominence in light of a scandal or controversial issue. The paper explained how he feels sorry for the younger generation growing up in a social

media era explaining, you can't give someone a microphone for 24 hours a day and have them not think that they have to use these kids. It's unbelievable. Imagine having a microphone and you're asked about social justice questions at 18 years old. It's like, what? I meant to answer. I meant to know the answer.

And if you don't, if I don't answer the correct way, if I don't say anything right, even if I mention, my intentions are right, and I don't say the same right thing, it's going to be everywhere. I mean, he's got a great point there. Yeah, I was impressed. I was really impressed by that. But do you agree that it's here to stay?

Okay, and let me say that's the point. You know what, he could have taken two routes there. But do you agree that it's here to stay? Okay, and let me say that's the point. You know what, he could have taken two routes there. He could have said, it's here to stay, or this is temporary and it's going away. I applaud him. I thank you, Jay-Z, for saying it's here to stay. And I'll tell you why, because I think he identifies it as a fringe element.

Okay, like he minimizes a little bit by just saying, okay, it's not gonna go away. There's always gonna be young people. Social media isn't leaving. So don't take it too seriously., okay, it's not gonna go away. There's always gonna be young people. Social media isn't leaving. So don't take it too seriously. If he said this thing's gonna go away, it's not, and then you legitimize it. I think now you can just look at these people

that are doing this fringe element. They're wackos. They're always gonna be around. You know, move on, nothing to see here. No, I agree. And that's happening even with me, with the campaign. And I think this happened so many, you know, celebrities and people

in the past, you do have to just look over it. You have to understand that it isn't going anywhere. But I think that does minimize it and take away a little bit of the flame that they were having in just as you said. Like why give in to them? Why make them matter even more so? And with me, it's hard because I want to like protect myself

and just say certain things. And it's like a double edictor because a screenshot and use it for more content So I call them content predators as well Well, I think we've established that anyone can be a media company these days 16-year-old with the phone. Hey, I Welcome to the Joe Blow show and here's my thoughts. I think we can all agree that Citizen journalism is what they're calling it ppd at 18 major 18 Tom and 18 Adam and 18 is a lot different than Adam at 38 42 45 big Tom your your thoughts and your

everything evolves and At this point with cancel culture. They're going back. Well, he said this in 1994 so we got a cancer right look at his Twitter account. Yeah, look at his so like I think Everything is so out there these days that you just need to be careful what you said I think that's essentially what Jay Z say and I don't I actually am on the opposite side. I don't want to be careful Yeah, I don't I don't I don't know about that because let me tell you, you're arrested when you're like that. You're walking on excels when you're like that.

Look, I get it, like listen, there is, like we talk about the other day, there is 98% of things we'll talk about openly. Then we got to 2% that we're probably not gonna talk about on camera. I get it, we'll talk 2%, you know, it's gonna be a different conversation. Everybody has that small percentage.

So I'm just one person, so I'm just two person, so I'm just 10 person. I'm closer to one, but you're closer to maybe two, three. I think that's a fair assessment. Well, I'm not running for governor. I'm not running for dog catcher. But I get that for you, but I get that for you. But now you're living in a time that people are being told

to be closer to 50%. So meaning just be fake on the camera. Just be fake. Don't tell what you think, just be fake. But they want real, yeah, reliability. They want to just be fake don't tell what you think just be fake but they want real Yeah, they want a sense fake. Yes raw fake. Yes. Yeah, I but again, I I think I think people still want the realness I think what people want is for you to be able to stand against the heat and say okay Listen somebody said this about you. Let's see what you're gonna say about it. Okay, cool Respect you went and took the argument you lost seven of the 28 arguments,

you won 21 of them. Fair, cool, we're good to go. Let's move on to the next and then they get over it, right? Cancel culture is also predicated based on how the individual handles the cancel culture when they're being canceled. It also has to do with that, because Jay-Z is probably right.

It probably isn't going away in a very, very long time of people being canceled. But let me show you guys a video. I want to show you a video. Neither one of you guys have seen it. I'm just sending it to you. I only send it to Kai. So we had, what was the show that was canceled a year ago?

What was the show called? Life PD? Say, you hear it hit your mind? Oh, yeah. Life PD got canceled, right? Remember, life PD, when he got canceled, he had deputy Mark or something like that, right? When he got canceled, right? Remember live PD when he got canceled? He had deputed Mark or something like that, right? When he got canceled, Sheriff Mark Lam.

So when he got canceled, we brought him on. And I said, what do you think about defund police? And he said, defund police is a bunch of crap. What are you gonna do when you call the cops and all this other stuff? And he's like, so people who are, you know, were supportive of defund police, sent me emails saying, what are you talking about?

You know, all you think about is all cops are right and all the stuff that's, I said, no, I actually have had bad experiences with cops. I don't have a good experience with cops. But more of my experiences have been good than have been bad. I said, okay, Nazari, a couple weeks ago, we showed the video about Nazari who's sitting there saying,

man, I got my hands out. I got my hand, that's the second lieutenant. Who's got my hand in with the cops, kind of, yeah. And then we brought the, his lawyer on, and we interviewed the lawyer and folks who are for Protecting the police. They said why would you bring somebody like that? And why would you do something like that the cops were right? He was wrong all this I said listen I see the story and I want to cover the story whether I agree or not I want to see the story to learn from it right this is all leading to

People acting in a certain way because the media is telling them all cops are bad. I want you to watch this video, what happens yesterday. Kai, if you can get the video ready, just I wanna get your reaction on this. It's gotten 3.3 million views in 15 hours. So watch what happens here, it's two minutes. Go ahead.

I'm gonna ask you today because I was going under the speed limit. I was going at 38. Yes, you are, ma'am. Good morning. Which is in the speed limit is 40 and I was going at 38. Yes, you are, ma'am.

Hey, good man. So you said it was not for him being a Mexican racist. What is that mean? For him being a Mexican racist, what is that name? Citation now, you go Mexican racist You're always gonna be a Mexican. You'll never be white. You know, oh my god You'll never be right, which is what you really want to be Wow in front of her son unbelievable wow What you how you processing? What did you show us this video? Let me let me put it to this who the hell wants to be a cop today Yeah, who the hell wants to be a cop like to you tell me wake up in the morning

You see the I can't wait to be a cop who wants to be a cop today I know he handled that so well every job every job comes with a certain pride that you want to do it right? I'm why you want to be a firefight. I got pride Why you want to be a governor because I want to make an impact why you want to be You know media because I want to go out there and entertain people Why you want to go out there and do what you're doing right about come on impact? Why do you want to be a cop? I want to protect them so right who they have wants to be a cop today What would you say I want to grow up on me? It's gonna be a very very major problem and I've seen a screenshot, but I haven't watched a video yet

So that's unbelievable. Is that even legal? Can you talk to a police officer like that? I don't think she should be arrested and canceled. Oh, I'm that's Whether she was a cop that ran up on her. She's forget my language. She's just a piece of shit She's a she's the definition of a Karen and you're trying to murder me like relax Mexican white thing Let me ask you question So who is to blame for that? Obviously the sole responsibility goes on the individual Yeah, so 80% is her I'm with that 80% responsibility goes on her. Yes, but who else is responsible for that? Me, you put that in their back

The media 7 billion cops to be bad then you have something like this imagine that guys going home telling his wife you know I was freaking bad experience today man let me see what happened I don't sick of doing my job like imagine that conversation at night right babe I'm sick of being a cop I want to change my career what's the wife gonna say do it babe this on a daily basis but I mean that was the epitome of racism I mean everything she was doing intense and they they paint themselves as the as that are, you know, fighting the other battle. It's unbelievable. Wow. That was intense.

You wonder, is that normal? I mean, do you think police are abused like that on a regular basis? They must be. What do you hear about the worst phone police? Since you're obviously pro police, you're not trying to defund the police. Well, I mean, a lot of them is, you know, the morale is low, you know, and they are on the brink of, is this what I want to continue to do? A lot of them. And anything that you're doing, especially in public service,

you don't do it for the credit, but you do want to be appreciated. When you are working for the service. Every day, they're putting their life in time. Absolutely. And so they do feel it. They're on the edge of if they want to walk away from this. Because they're up against multiple things psychologically with the media, the social media,

and the polarizing commentary that's a part of their job and their responsibility. So, that was a harsh video watch, man. Franchise intense. Whether you're pro police, not pro police, blue-lots of pro police. I mean, other than the the I'm talking about solely that The function and then I think about the component of her her kid being with you know I'm really you know that that really disturbed me you know as well because psychologically you know What the kid is processing it also source of perpetuous cycle and that's a snapshot of her day

I mean you know that continues throughout the day and her on social media going on What a danger so now so now the kid is 14 to 17 years old and have a encounter and is Beligerent, you know, towards an officer and then something happens, right? But it all is the seeds that are Planet in regards to how they react. Who's who's the kids hero? The kids heroes is mom, right? So what's You know, my mom is like us to cops, I gotta be like that to cops, because the kid wants to be loyal to the parents. So kids gonna duplicate whatever the parent believes and that's typically what happens.

Maybe, I mean, but there's not, you could also be embarrassed by your mom. Like if my dad ever did that, I'd be like, what are you doing? Of course, subconsciously. A lot of it, you know, that's gonna stick. They say there's more caught than taught in parenting. You can teach all you want to do the right things.

Your kids gonna do what you do, not teach what you do. This is catching. The kid just caught what the parent just did. That's pathetic to me to do that. And by the way, again, who's the responsibility? Who is responsible for that? Who is responsible for that? Who do you think is?

The dividers, those who get paid to divide, there's a business model to division. The division business model has been around for a very, very long time. The media business model is either to make you think, to entertain or to divide or to be controversial, change, conflict, that's their business model. It is.

Either are very entertaining where I'm sitting there saying oh my gosh I just needed a laugh you know you know how it's Friday night you're sitting there your Kids are gone. It's 11 o'clock at night. You're like to okay. You go to movies. You say drama Comedy horror. I'm like yeah, I need some comedy right now So you're saying like 30 minutes and then you go to like wedding crash and you go to your favorite part right and you watch it for 10 15 minutes get it out of your system There's different methods to comedy today to entertainment today. This is a business model wedding crash and go to your favorite part, right? And you watch it for 10, 15 minutes, get it out of your system. There's different methods to comedy today,

to entertainment today. This is a business model. Devide, divide, divide, and buy, and sell. And there's a huge market for it, unfortunately. It is. There's a big market for it. Okay, so let's talk about Buffett. Let's see what Buffett has to say

about the whole thing that's going on. By the way, I got a question for the viewers. I've never seen this happen. Suddenly, the viewership drops by three to four hundred. If you're watching this, comment below if you buy any chance where it kicked out. We've done 58 episodes I've never seen this before. Were you accidentally kicked out and you have to come back on and you don't know why? If you were just kind of let us on the comment section, I'm doing more of a focus group for myself because I keep asking Sam and again here

to see what's going on. It's going from 2700 to all of a sudden drops to 2300. I've never seen that happen before. Sometimes that happens because service is bad. Sometime it happened when our internet is bad, but we have no issue over here with the internet. So if you guys don't mind, commenting, this is just for me to know

what's going on here. Okay, Facebook says decision on whether Trump band will be overturned coming Wednesday, page number four. Let's see what's gonna happen.'s going on here. Okay. Facebook says decision on whether Trump ban will be overturned coming Wednesday. Page number four. Let's see what's going to happen. Now one, one, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two,

one, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two,

two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, Facebook account, a nine, eight eastern standard time on Wednesday, announced Monday morning. The boards that last month that had received 9,000 plus public responses concerning Trump's indefinite suspension from Facebook.

And Instagram, Facebook suspended Trump's account following the January 6th Capitol Rights and later referred the decision to the court-like oversight board and independent body, which has the power to reverse Facebook content decisions and set president. For the company later, that month Facebook asked the oversight board for ruling on whether to let trumps suspension

stand saying the significance of the matter warranted its independent review thoughts well i is there anybody that thinks it's going to get overturned i i don't think there's a chance in hell that he's back on there is but i don't i Oh, go ahead. Oh, no, I just don't think there is. This is the Facebook Supreme Court.

It's happened six times where they've done it, what I think they overruled it twice, couldn't decide one time. But no, I don't think so. And here's what they're gonna lean on. They're gonna lean on the one thing that got them banned. It was the video where he says, we love you, we think you're very special.

I mean, look, you might not agree with the rules, but the rules are in place, and there's consequences to have a message like that on that day, and my prediction is, I don't think he's going to be back on Facebook. Okay, what do you think? I'm kinda fit, they fit, they fit, they waited, but I also may look at it, look at it,

like they're looking at him as competition, you know, because there is room is going around around that he's going to launch a social media platform or partner with someone as well too. So if this is going to be a social media, you don't want to give him your platform that opportunity to promote and bring followers over from that particular platform as well. So I'm kind of faith in faith in regards to if they will

or won't do it. I know that they're getting a lot of push back on it as well, but you know, it counts as they don't care. Do you think it's a little bit more difficult than just say you're gonna start your own social media platform? Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Once more, when you're at his level,

it's not about him doing it. These things are already in the works. You part with individuals who have already done the work and then you put the money behind it and your influence and tie it out, you have it. So do you think they will or they won't? He said he's 50-50. Yeah, I'm 50-50 do you think they will or they won't? He said he's 50, 50. Yeah, I'm 50, 50 only if they will, if they won't.

I think more than the Trump situation here is the power of big tech. Like the fact that the Facebook gods, the overlords are like, well, should we or should we and not allow the former president of the United States to be on our platform? I think it's such a huge decision that it's ridiculous. And I'm, in case you haven't gotten the memo, not a Trump fan in the least.

But I think that you should at least allow the former president of the United States to have a place on your platform. Now, if you want to you wanna put literally behind every message that he does, this message has been fact check and he's definitely a liar. And, you know, he over exaggerates and he's definitely divisive. You wanna do all that?

But to ban him from being on a platform is ridiculous. And don't forget, I think Trump's approval ratings were hovering in the low 40s. Facebook's and Mark Zuckerberg's are hovering in the 20s and 30s. Yeah, but they just, be worse than Trump, you know? It's pretty bad.

I just think they're history, they're not, how much heat would they take from all the other social media companies if they allowed him back? It would put this pressure then on Twitter to allow him back. I strongly believe there's no chance. One thing I know for sure, we'll be covering this story on Thursday. Right. I I strongly believe there's no chance. One thing I know for sure we'll be covering this story on Thursday.

Right. Yeah I think there I think there's a chance. I think there's a chance because I think this is if you remember a zuck took a couple positions where he said look were a were a content were a social media website so we don't dictate what policies we put in what policies we don't and he made some decision that pissed off the left. I don't know if you remember this was like two years ago you're in a half ago and they were not happy about the position he took and he gets backlash from both sides all the time. You got to give credit to Zuck on the one hand where both sides hate him. There's almost a little bit of credibility when both sides hate you at times rather than just one side. So proof ratings are 20%.

But the point is the reason why both sides hate him is because sometimes he takes a stand that is not Republican and sometimes he takes a stand that's not democratic. So I think there is a chance they may allow him back with certain restrictions where every post has to be approved type of situation. Would they may come out and say the post has to be re-reviewed. We created a committee that all they do is watch Trump's post and they say here's what is posted. Do we want to approve this, it up and maybe some like that but I do think there's a 10 20 percent chance I was gonna ask you you're not got your goal I think there's a 20%

there's a 20% decision 100 percent okay because it's not the six now here's the secret okay six times perfect six times it's been overturned upheld them twice one time could uh... they couldn't come up with a decision so oversight so they have actually overturned six times the majority look trumps news is getting out he's sending email to the media now this is response and puts email says ask her needs to go back to this you know this needs to go back to this on

so messages being picked up is just sending emails as much as of course it's not as close of course it's not at all. Of course it's not. Let me, but if I have to choose, if I have to choose, you got Twitter, you got YouTube, you got Facebook, meaning Google, right? So YouTube, so you got Facebook, Google, Twitter. Who's most likely to let them back on?

Not Twitter. Okay, so that's last. That's the last. He's not, he ain't coming back to Twitter. So who's most likely to let them back on? YouTube, yeah. I think it's probably gonna be Facebook, YouTube, then Twitter. Here's another thing to consider. a live blog? You and two. Yeah. I think it's probably gonna be Facebook, YouTube,

then Twitter. Here's another thing to consider. Do you think there's a possibility he's enjoying his life with a little less stress? No, you don't think so? I think he's such a sore loser that there's a zero percent happy about what's going on right now. I believe he's festering and he's ready to come back

and just do it just to annoy a lot of people that they end up today. He's also 72, maybe he's tired. He's not sure. Trump don't get tired maybe he's tired. He's not tired. Trump don't get tired. He's 74. He's got the body like an 84 year old, and the mind of a four year old.

He's gonna be back, baby. I don't know, man, it's a comfortable lifestyle up there. Why are you, what is it about Trump that you enjoy? Well, you, so that's a great question. I've never known not to like Trump. You know, I come from an environment, from an urban environment where we've always admired Trump, you know, from just,

from a celebrity standpoint, from the gold buildings, from the route videos, from the movie appearances, it wasn't, it was never political. It was popular. It was only to political. But that took a very people- You told me to turn. Yeah, well, they told me not to like them just

because, and then there are certain things that I understand about human beings. I understand that I don't have to agree with everything 100%. I like strength. I like individuals that say what they say in their unorthodox and their own traditional, which is why I talk about the electrician.

That's unapologetically different, right? And I think he represented that for the time and moment in regards to what our country needed. And it was simplicity just based upon that. So were there things that you were like, look, I appreciate them, I respect them, but. Ah, yeah, that I can't do. What were those?

Some tweets and sometimes just having that certain stance on answering questions straightforward in regards to white supremacy and things of that nature. Like you could just go ahead and do it. Even though you've answered it, and that was the biggest thing, you have to say, you've got to answer the same questions over and over. I know it can be redone that I get it all the time. I just answered that like literally two seconds ago.

Just scrolled. What about like the Confederate flags? It was kind of not siding with taking it down. Obviously you probably have strong opinions on that. Right. Well, honestly, I wasn't really educated in regards to what that truly meant at that particular time, in regards to why people feel Ford or even feel against it, but also just the foundation of choice.

Like, if that's what you're for, that's what you're for. I don't have to agree with it. And so I never took a hard stance when it came to that because it doesn't bother me. It like my life continues to be with my life. I don't like that bother you. I don't like to be emotional. It's part of it.

Well, I just said, no one is bringing it up to me. Like it's not in one in my yard, you know, making me acknowledging or anything of that nature. So I just don't own every issue in every activism type of thing. People want me to be a part of it. I told you, Pat, I'm working on my emotions.

I can't get a much better thing. I'm getting much better. I'm trying to be a part of it. I told you, Pat, I'm working on my emotions. I can't get a mug better than you. I'm getting much better. I'm trying to hold it in. So, okay, we'll see. One day tomorrow we get the news. Yes. Folks, if you're watching, what do you think? Likelihood.

Let's do a survey here. I'd love to hear the likelihood. If you say there's no way in the world, they're going to prove him, smash the thumbs up button. If you say they're going to prove him, he's's gonna be back on Facebook, put the thumbs down. Let's see what's gonna happen here. I'm actually curious to know what's gonna happen with this. We got 7.52 to 8.

How do you see the... Let's see, I'll tell you here in a minute when I see the ratios. Okay, let's go to Buffett. Buffett Buffett Buffett, Buffett Buffett, page five. Oh man, they said a lot of different things here. Okay, so lots of stuff. Yes, so lots of stuff. Yes, so Buffett, let's go to the story.

Warren Buffett says bad leaders pose biggest risk to companies, a Wall Street Journal story. Poor management is a top-to-the-facing company according to Warren Buffett. The chief executive of Conglomerate, Berkshire Hathaway said choosing the wrong people to lead an organization is the number one risk for businesses.

In his five decades running Berkshire Buffett said, he has seen a number of companies fail from textile mills to department stores. And he suggested that a consistent element could be found in those failures beyond changing consumer behavior or shifting market forces. You get a guy or a woman in charge of it. They're personable. The directors like them. They don't know what they're doing,

but they know how to put on an appearance, that's the biggest single danger Buffett said. Very interesting, very interesting. What do you think about that major? Well, for me, it's a little dated. I feel like it is dated. I feel that there are individuals that are way more talented and skilled, even from their

parents' perspective, because as I said earlier, even from a political standpoint, it does matter that you have experience in politics, but it doesn't matter if you're not willing to be open to the evolution of how to lead people or galvanize, or even win in particular election. So when it comes to what he's specifying, that's more of a niche perspective, which has drastically changed in a lot of different industries. And I get it, I respect his mind,

I respect the temperament of what he's saying. But I think it's stemming from a little resentment. These social media app companies have, there have been very, what's the word for? They're disruptors. They're disruptors, you know, and his model is very different. So when it's something that you don't understand

and they didn't ask him for permission, that's what happens. No different than what I'm doing. I'm not asking for permission. I've chosen to exist. I'm experienced because of my mindset and what I'm telling you that I'm experienced and we're gonna do this together.

So I think there is a little resentment there. There is a little bias. That's a part of that. I still respect this mindset. I've done a lot of great things, but evolution does occur and it does exist. Yes it does. That is the truth Adam.

What do you think? About this specific leadership question or just his whole other thing. The leadership question. We talked about this like who's hosting the Oscars, like, who's the face of the brand? The person at top does matter. Like, the CEO does need to drive a company. I mean, you would have the best perspective on this, I think, more than anyone, right?

You being as a CEO, leading the field, leading the sales force, leading your entire company. I think that's essentially his point here. I mean, I'm more to be honest with you, more intrigued by the 10 key takeaways, which is probably the next story we're going with. You know what, why don't we go to the story of California taxes? Why don't we talk about that before we go into the takeaways? Because I think that's a... Can I give you one quick point off the You know, you know, it's ironic. I think that he's talking about executive leadership CEO leadership because I think there's he's punched some holes in his own Leadership right now. I think he skews old now. I think he heard his brand

Excuse me. Oh, I mean, no, but I mean come on seriously. I Of course, but I mean never in the past has he come across his grumpy old guy. For sure. And the other thing that kind of creeped into his messaging is arrogance. To me, I take arrogance out of that. And for someone as brilliant as the Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett, he missed a great opportunity. He should have been speaking to these kids that invest on Robinhood and try to bring them into his fold and say, hey, you know, good job.

Maybe you could come over and do some things in Berkshire halfway. We got a platform for you too. It's not, it seems like he is a supper club owner. Right. He needs to have a little happy hour thrown onto that menu, right? Just lighten up and loosen up and... Those are some of the takeaways that I, I want to touch, I know a pattern.

But you know what they remind me of him and Charlie Munger. You see the Muppets and the two old guys up in the audience. Like, are you idiot Muppets down there. But let me read this story and then we'll get into the pages. So same page page. When asked about people leaving California because of taxes and high costs of living, Mr. Munger said he thought state governments were making a mistake and allowing residents to be wooed elsewhere. I do think it is stupid for states to drive out their wealthiest citizens, Mr. Munger said. The old people don't commit any crimes. They donate to local charity. Who in the hell in the right mind would drive out the rich people? Florida

and places like that are very shrewd. And places like California are being very stupid. That's Munger. Do you agree? I agree. agree okay tell us why I agree I mean when you look at the top you know 5% 1% they ask so much value that a lot of people don't take credit for or give them credit for they are the ones who you know donate to foundations they are the ones who give back they are the ones who you know employ you know thousands if not millions of individuals and provide those opportunities. I don't, I don't agree with the culture

that we are now, the ETH rich culture. I don't believe that looking at someone like you, you know, that's successful in becoming envious of that. I look at you and I get inspired. And then I start to try to dig and see how you did it or if I get a chance to meet you like I have now, as you, you know, what did you do or what is your insight. So a lot of people don't think that way. So I would encourage people to change that mindset when it comes to that and why punish them. You know, this is a successful model here

in Florida, right? You know, they they are very true when it comes to how they receive that and they want to retain those individuals and you should want to woo people to to stay because that's tax revenue that's tax revenue That's going to help infrastructure. It's going to help the you know the economy grow You know you know what these guys are reminding me about a great point He's making with monger. What why would you want to lose your wealthiest people? Yeah, what do they do? Like do they even have the energy to go commit a crime? They got money. They're gonna spend money. They're gonna buy stuff

They're gonna reinvest into community. They're gonna. Hey, we need a million dollars to build a church We need a million dollars for the school here you go here's a half a million here's a hundred why would you want to lose these guys there is no logic in wanting to lose your wealthiest people who are typically your oldest people that you have in your community because it takes a while to compound interest there create that what why would you want to lose them yeah I was a little underwhelmed by his comment to be honest with you because I just thought it was so obvious.

I mean, I would rather hear from him maybe some solutions or some other ideas, but because these governors are so short-sighted, all they think about is tax revenue. Right. And you know, they're going to create, they have no vision. So all they can go by some imagination. And all they can think about is,

what can I do to have someone like me the next day? I'll just give them more money, or we'll come up with a new camp or a government aid program or something. So there's this lack of inspiration from these guys, it's just immoralizing. So let me just go through the tanky takeaways and then let's process it together.

So these are the tanky takeaways from Buffett and Charlie Munger at the Berkshire Hathaway's 2021 shareholder meeting. This is a story by Nasdaq. I'll just say the main point of what it is and then we'll go process it together. The number one stock market leadership is fleeting. Number two, Buffett and Munger disagree on S&P 500 versus Berkshire Hathaway. Meaning Buffett said, I've never recommend a Berkshire

to anybody. As he has always wanted to avoid any appearances of giving any insight tip on the stock of the company he runs, but Munger has a different view. He says, I personally prefer holding Berkshire to holding the market. He said, arguing that Berkshire's set of businesses and investment are in his view better than the average across the market. Even though Berkshire Hathaway has not beat the S&P 500 last decade, by the way. Number three, Buffett. Airlines have done better because we sold. I love it. Number four, a minor mistake from Buffett. Some have questioned why Buffett trimmed the stake in Tech Giant Apple, the Oracle of Omaha

Minute that was probably a mistake, Charlie, in his usual low key way. Let me know it was a mistake. Number five, why Buffett doesn't like SPACs? Buffett expresses this like for the SPAC business model. Specifically, the requirement for most SPACs have to find a business within two years. If you put a gun to my head and said, you've got to go buy a business within two years at by one buffett said but it wouldn't be much of one number six views on the impact of low interest rates number seven monger on bitcoin responding to shareholder

question about bitcoin buffet decided to dodge the question his motivation avoiding making the hundreds of thousands of viewers who own the cryptocurrency unhappy but monger didn't hold back. He said, I hate Bitcoin success. Okay. The whole damn development is discussed and in contrary to the interests of civilization. Number eight, a Buffett dig at Elon Musk. When asked, another shareholder question was addressed to Berkshire Hydeville Insurance Business, asking whether he'd write an insurance policy for Tesla, CEO, and SpaceX founder Elon Musk for his proposed missions to mars jane quickly said no buffett demerde however

it would depend on the premium the burchard i have to wait cio said and i would probably have a somewhat different rate if elan was on board number nine buffett and monger smack down robin of this one got ugly by the way they didn't have nice things to say about them they said becoming a you know, Buffett and a Munger Howard were deeply critical of roles, but Buffett noted that Robin Hood

has become a very significant part of the casino group that's joined the stock market in the last year and a half. Munger went further, it's just got awful that something like that would draw investment from civilized men and citizens, decent citizens. It's deeply wrong. And last but not least,

Berkshire's dynamic duo has learned some lessons in the last year. So Adam, I've said a lot, what are your thoughts? So you went down the list. I think I thought it was a very good break. Now, shout out to Kai for doing the research. And this was great. And I feel like I've taken a whole economics class just from Kai's research. So thank you so much. I saw it last night.

Exactly. So shout out to major and I do in our research but a couple things that that stuck out from me from that list is number one this gentleman named Greg Abel is going to be stepping in for Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger and I thought it was a I had to write a little L.O.L. note here and he said that between the two people that I was choosing from between Greg Abel and Ajit, what's the gentleman's name?

Ajit, Ajit, Jane, he went with Greg because he was able, was 59 versus 69. I think that's Rich coming from a 90 year old and a 98 year old. We're gonna go with the young guy here. Then their hate on Bitcoin just feels out of touch. And they probably do have some valid points. Don't get me wrong. If you've made a 60-year career of investing in companies with PE ratios and earnings and leaders and everything that a real company possesses. And now you just have these,

digital wallet assets, decentralized cryptocurrency. I feel like they have this opportunity to go, you talked about legacy, legacy. What do I want my kids to be known as? What do you want these young investors to remember you as is these sour old dudes that hated on you? Or the greatest investor of all time that kind of gave you some wisdom in their final days and the business wise it is final season stepping down.

But last but not least I think this is something interesting regarding the Smackdown on Robinhood. You've heard someone who's such an advocate for investing and get out there and compound interest and buy the S&P Robinhood with their flaws and gamifying investing. I can understand why you would maybe have some issues with it, but they're allowing retail investors to get into the market. That's something that I'm all about is save that money so you can start investing.

And if you're getting stimulus checks, if you're sitting at home and you're saving money because you never be able to travel or spend it at the club and you're 20, 30 something years old and you're able to start investing it. Yeah, you might lose a little bit, but you're going to definitely win because you're going to learn a lesson, especially if you buy a company like a GameStop or an AMC or the meme stocks or whatever. You're going to learn something.

So I think he seems a little out of touch. Kai, you're trying to say something. Go ahead. Yeah, no, I mean, I think it's interesting how, I'd say almost it sounds like you guys are surprised in a sense the way they're saying it is. But if you look at it, that's the way they've invested all their careers, their value investors, they're looking for things they can understand.

How much was more Buffett criticized in the Docob Boom when he didn't invest, but he said, I don't understand it. I don't feel safe to invest it. So I'm not going to try to gamble. He's always the safe bet, right? And especially with Charlie Munger coming in, then it was like, all right, we're going to invest in something that is works that's proven and that can run itself. He said with Coca-Cola, if the CEO was a ham sandwich, it would still

make money, right? That's their whole philosophy, that's their whole way. Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, as far as we know, it's still all just speculation. It's just, we can't. There's no forms or kind of earnings that say, this is going to project it to earn here and here. In many ways, you can put calculations and say, but you can also put calculations to say otherwise so the fact that they're against this isn't surprising in my Anyways, obviously they're getting older and you can kind of argue that as well But they've always been the hair versus the tortoise and they've always been slow and steady wins the race and Like with Robinhood you're not betting necessarily on the market, you're picking a stock and you're getting confetti for buying, you're getting confetti

for selling. So in many ways, it's going against everything that they're against, which is, or which they're not for, because they've always been the slow and steady when's the race. Tom. Good, good stuff, Kai. You know, I think you guys have handled it. Well, you know. Most of the key issues here. I'm convinced that they invested in a tequila company. They're both a little buzzed when they were talking. Because that was just so against the grain for them being this outspoken, talking this

much trash. Ultimately, I don't know. It was a great look for them because, A, I admit, I screwed up on Apple. That's kind of a big error. That's what sticks with me. You got 10 points. I screwed up on Apple. I don't like Bitcoin.

I got something with Elon Musk and Robin Hood sucks. I mean, that's really what I got from this. Let me ask you, how competitive do you think Munger and Buffett are? Competitive. How competitive do you think they are? You know, I think Warren is extremely competitive. I think so as well. I don't know what do you think a Munger, very competitive.

You know, like ultra-super-cycle competitive. I think Buffett is. Has to be to be more exact. If you're still 90 years old and you're going ham. He still has the momentality. Okay. Yeah I think he's got that killer mindset, right? Okay, so here's here's how I see this When is it good to retire in baseball or in basketball? What's a good season? One is it a good time to be talking to you? When you lost a step or two? When you, Barkley said, when scrubs are beating me, that's for, that's time for me to retire, right?

Barkley said, when scrubs are beating me and I'm sinnersent, this scrub just beating me, who the hell is he? It's time for me to get out the league, right? Okay. I don't know, obviously investments is a different world because you can invest a lot longer, like meaning you're 10 year to one invest,

maybe you're 10 year to play basketball is what? Say 10 to 20 years, okay? Your Kobe 20 years? Yeah. you're 10 years to play basketball as what? Say 10 to 20 years, okay? You're Kobe 20 years? Yeah, I know, but I'm just saying, let's say 10 to 20 years. Carmelo's still playing, he became the 10th all-time score. Say he's 10 to 20 years. What's your 10 year for investments? What is it?

50 years? 40 years? There's gotta still be a 10 year. What is the number? So do I think maybe 10 years ago they should have retired? Maybe 10 years ago they should have replaced themselves. Maybe 10 years ago they should have replaced themselves. Maybe 15 years ago they should have replaced themselves. I don't know.

One of the hardest things to do is when you look at someone, do you remember that interview, who's the guy, the boxing commentator, who he's famous for always interviewing boxers after the fight? He's looking at Mayweather and he says, but why did you hit him in the face when he wasn't looking? Larry Merchant. Larry Merchant, right?

Well, Larry Merchant, if I was 20 years young guy, you'll beat your butt ever. And like that. You would know that you would. I like to see you try it as well. You'd know that. You'd know that Mayweather and him going back and forth, right? But you have to realize, Larry is sitting there saying,

dude, I'm 75, but if I was 25, I would have whooped your ass. Let's just say that's the mindset because he goes back and remembers who was 25. Think about Buffett sitting there saying, who the hell are you guys? I've been going at this for a freaking nine, 80 years since I was 10 years old and investing again. Who are you schmucks when I went into those meetings

to wanna learn about being an investment banker? But there's a flaw in that. There's a weakness in that. It's almost like this. Okay. I had a girlfriend of mine years ago, and she was modeling, acting, movies, all that other stuff.

I said, you know, there's one thing you gotta be very careful with. She says, what? I said, if the only way you get attention is your looks, when it goes away, you're psychologically gonna have a meltdown when it goes away. Because it's eventually gonna go away for everybody. You're gonna look like this forever,

just so you know that. There's gravity, things work against you as you age. It's just not gonna be in your favor long term. Buffet and Munger are the examples to me of a drafted gorgeous girl that they no longer look good because better looking girls are coming up and they have a hard time because they no longer get the attention

that they used to get. I may be fully wrong, I may be absolutely off base here and I'm missing it, but I think for them, the route that you were recommending, fantastic route to say, hey, when we bring these younger guys together, so what we can do, why don't you think you can do something? Come on down, let's create a summit and bring them, why do you think about this? And close doors, not even open. Hey, bring the Britcoin guy Anthony Papriano, we just had that he wasn't, they're going back and forth. Yeah, bring some of these Anthony Papriano we just had there that he wouldn't be going back

and forth. Yeah, bring some of these guys in that they don't know nothing about. What is the future? Because the reality of it is you kind of got a pivot. You know, you kind of got a pivot right now. eBay just announced they're about to take a Bitcoin. Matter of fact, this was our first week ever

where one of the companies I'm hiring as a consultant, they paid as a by Bitcoin. Like, do you receive, I'm like, yeah, sure, we'll receive by Bitcoin. We send a bunch of Ethereum. No problem. People are now going in that direction. And whether you like it or not, you have to pivot. I don't know if they're doing that. It's 1056. I don't know if we have time for one more story. I got 11 o'clock call. But if you guys got final thoughts, major volumes, I'm

going to give you the final thoughts, you know, what you want to say with California. Sell us the dream on why you believe California is going to come back and it's going to be the state that it used to be where everybody around the world would go to rather than states like Texas and Florida. Sell us the dream. Well, the opportunity is there. First of all, we have to acknowledge that we are unified in frustration. And it is one of those things kind of like the statement that you said, you know, try me, you know, and that's something that I'm really going to hang my head on in regards to if you are on offense, but you should understand that California has great comeback ability because of what we represent. And it is going to take a different brand of leadership that understands the issues and knows how to actually get those issues solved and be realistic about how we can do those things collectively together. I do believe that as an ex-governor of California,

we can get things done beyond just the government perspective, being the next governor of California. That's going to be global news, not just statewide news. And that in itself allows me to open up other doors and get people excited about the change of culture of leadership. And so that's something that I think that other people are really excited about as well,

they're in exclusivity and being a part of what we can do together. So this is not my campaign in California until everyone, this is our campaign. And I think that's the pretence of it. You got a great message. You got a lot of momentum. Best of luck.

If there's any way I can help you in California, I know a lot of people would love to hear what you're talking about. And that's just what you got to do. Just got to stay out there. How people hear you, it's gonna be impossible not to like you Hey, can I just address the elephant in the room real quickly next time that you guys get together on the wardrobe and you like very Well-dressed CIA agents or secret service that stepped off the cover is you

He's this I won't raid the award-grow closet of get shorty, okay? And I'll just come up with my look like you flew here from Louisville You look like you flew here from Louisville you look like you flew here from Louisville that's exactly what you look like you made that truck and you have a pink photo I guarantee you everybody's looking at you more than us for sure and you also said you know what I'm already feeling a little derby as let me throw a pink picture there so you made that decision maybe

well my my final piece is shout out to Major Williams. Respect, man. Thank you for coming through. I think we have me. You know, you answered the tough questions. You answered the easy questions, but clearly you handle yourself well. And last shout out, I think definitely

goes to the Godfather of Seoul, James Brown, for trying me. Try me. And pop has got a brand new bag and it's major William.
