- 0:00Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
- 0:03Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador
- 0:07Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
- 0:11Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
- 0:15Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
- 0:19Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States
- 0:23Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border
- 0:28Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
- 0:31Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you
- 0:35Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly
- 0:39Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will
- 0:43Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home
- 0:46Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,
- 0:55Speaker 1: border and families will be protected.
- 0:57Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
- 1:00Speaker 3: Do you think the sixty forty let's say stock real
- 1:03Speaker 3: estate portfolio is going to be the new sixty forty
- 1:06Speaker 3: stock versus bond because the bomb market has blown up
- 1:09Speaker 3: the last two years and I mean, I'm shocked. Can
- 1:12Speaker 3: you tell me why. I know a lot of international
- 1:15Speaker 3: companies pour their money out of our bonds, but I
- 1:18Speaker 3: never thought obviously the bomb market's flaps this fast. Do
- 1:21Speaker 3: you think that sixty forty real estate and stocks will
- 1:24Speaker 3: be the new replacement for the next twenty to thirty years.
- 1:27Speaker 4: You know, real estate's one of those finite resources as well,
- 1:30Speaker 4: so it's as much as everybody would love to own.
- 1:32Speaker 4: So it's very hard to own real estate and desirable
- 1:35Speaker 4: places where you believe the value is going to go up.
- 1:37Speaker 4: Now true, I'm obsessed with these like government landwatch, foreclosure
- 1:42Speaker 4: auction things that come across the internet all the time.
- 1:45Speaker 4: I get a newsletter that and it's trying to sell
- 1:47Speaker 4: me property in places that it's just not viable. So
- 1:50Speaker 4: you could be, like, buy a bunch of houses in Arizona.
- 1:53Speaker 4: I don't want to pick on Arizona. I'm from New Mexico.
- 1:55Speaker 4: But there might not be any water there in twenty years,
- 1:58Speaker 4: so that's not such a great idea, right or buy
- 2:00Speaker 4: You know, you see these houses for sale and Queen's
- 2:02Speaker 4: by the Bay, they may not be there in twenty years.
- 2:05Speaker 4: I'm sorry, we've already had sandy. We've seen what happens
- 2:08Speaker 4: when the water rises Miami. Right, everybody wants to live
- 2:11Speaker 4: in Florida until you live in Florida, right, But Miami
- 2:14Speaker 4: is having problem. So it depends on where you're buying
- 2:17Speaker 4: what you're buying. Now, if you follow the smartest money
- 2:20Speaker 4: in the world in real estate, it's Blackstone right. See
- 2:25Speaker 4: Schwartzman donated the public library, multi billionaire. What is he
- 2:28Speaker 4: buying warehouses? Where's he buying them everywhere he can? Why?
- 2:33Speaker 4: What do we use warehouses for data storage? And Amazon storage?
- 2:38Speaker 4: When you drive on the highway? What do you see
- 2:40Speaker 4: Amazon trucks when we're doing this? What's going on data storage? Right?
- 2:44Speaker 4: So smart real estate is buying things that they can use,
- 2:47Speaker 4: not just buying houses in college towns, which isn't a
- 2:50Speaker 4: bad thing to do either. But you got to think
- 2:51Speaker 4: about where you're buying and what you're buying.
- 2:54Speaker 2: JIP, I wonder from an investment standpoint and from a
- 2:57Speaker 2: professional standpoint, the landscape for what you do. Your thoughts
- 3:01Speaker 2: on open AI and chat GBT as far as finding
- 3:04Speaker 2: companies that are leading the advancement in it and you know,
- 3:10Speaker 2: putting money behind it. Because I mean, it's not going anyway,
- 3:12Speaker 2: and it definitely would be part of the future. So
- 3:15Speaker 2: what are your thoughts around it.
- 3:16Speaker 4: Yeah, it's one of those things that chet GPT in
- 3:19Speaker 4: general's kind of scares me. It's either going to be
- 3:21Speaker 4: the worst thing that ever happened to Investipedia or the
- 3:24Speaker 4: best thing that ever happened to Investipedia. And I'm gonna
- 3:26Speaker 4: believe that it's going to be the best thing. Why
- 3:28Speaker 4: because even though it's really smart and it could tell
- 3:30Speaker 4: you what is pe ratio or what is compounding or
- 3:33Speaker 4: how to invest ten thousand bucks, there's nothing like the
- 3:36Speaker 4: personal touch rashad. You're in a you're a former advis
- 3:39Speaker 4: you're an advisor, you know what that's like. The relationship
- 3:41Speaker 4: is everything, and there's a way to speak to people
- 3:43Speaker 4: that it will never be able to do, and there's
- 3:45Speaker 4: brand authenticity. We've been around twenty three years, hopefully we
- 3:48Speaker 4: will be around another twenty three years. So it scares me.
- 3:51Speaker 4: That said, it's also one of those things that I
- 3:53Speaker 4: know it's important. I know it's gonna help a lot
- 3:56Speaker 4: of industries, healthcare, education, finance. I think it's gonna be
- 4:00Speaker 4: very useful in all those industries. But you guys know
- 4:03Speaker 4: this well, and every era and every few months there
- 4:06Speaker 4: is a new thing. And if you change your company
- 4:08Speaker 4: name like Block to Square or Square to Block, or
- 4:12Speaker 4: it used to be cannabis, or it used to be crypto.
- 4:15Speaker 4: If you play AI in your name right now, your
- 4:16Speaker 4: stock's going up ten twenty percent. There's a hype around
- 4:19Speaker 4: it as well. We haven't exactly seen the practical applications
- 4:22Speaker 4: that will be widespread and change markets forever, but they're coming.
- 4:27Speaker 4: I just read something by Bill Gates of all people,
- 4:29Speaker 4: on his medium jog about why he thinks it's so important,
- 4:33Speaker 4: most important, A ton of things I didn't.
- 4:34Speaker 5: Know, so we asked some other stuff that he was
- 4:37Speaker 5: going to talk about. But Ian, I think, let's let's
- 4:40Speaker 5: talk about those. Let's let's let's talk about the same topics,
- 4:43Speaker 5: but let's have if you want to stay on? Can
- 4:45Speaker 5: you want to stay on?
- 4:46Speaker 4: I'd love to If you're having sorry for yes, dominating them?
- 4:50Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, I love it. So now we'll just
- 4:52Speaker 5: go back to the regular format and then we'll just
- 4:54Speaker 5: have everybody chiming, including yourself. So TikTok's current CEO was
- 4:59Speaker 5: grilled by Congress last week based on his commentary is
- 5:03Speaker 5: it time for America to be in TikTok or did
- 5:07Speaker 5: he make a case that the app is safe? So
- 5:09Speaker 5: TikTok is on the fire, has been on the fire
- 5:11Speaker 5: for a long time. What is the current, what's your
- 5:14Speaker 5: what's your guys thoughts on what happened and the future
- 5:18Speaker 5: of TikTok.
- 5:20Speaker 3: I don't think that the CEO did an amazing job
- 5:24Speaker 3: of giving the lawmakers feeling of safety. I don't think
- 5:29Speaker 3: he came off as a threat. But when the grilling
- 5:34Speaker 3: was over and still I don't I don't think anyone
- 5:39Speaker 3: came to a conclusion of Okay, we can trust him,
- 5:42Speaker 3: we can trust this company. Here are the things they're
- 5:44Speaker 3: going to do to mitigate any espionage fear that we
- 5:48Speaker 3: may have, like a red down.
- 5:49Speaker 5: Kind of event.
- 5:50Speaker 3: I think a little bit of the things they are
- 5:53Speaker 3: worried about are being done by American companies at scale.
- 5:57Speaker 3: I think that a big tech company maybe pushing lobbyists
- 6:01Speaker 3: too to push some of these narratives, how do you
- 6:04Speaker 3: guys like to be doing? Like But even though they've
- 6:09Speaker 3: been demonized, he didn't do a good enough job to
- 6:12Speaker 3: make even American parents be like, Hey, I'm gonna protect
- 6:17Speaker 3: your children but here's the funny part. After that, I
- 6:22Speaker 3: saw more kids be excited about TikTok and say I'm
- 6:25Speaker 3: not going to use Instagram as much as result or
- 6:27Speaker 3: it's not going to use the Instagram more.
- 6:30Speaker 4: So.
- 6:30Speaker 3: I think this was really Estellemach. I don't think they'll
- 6:33Speaker 3: go eventually ban it, even though that's a great talking point.
- 6:36Speaker 3: But he didn't do a great enough job to convince us.
- 6:38Speaker 2: That he was not a threat to our democracy. This
- 6:42Speaker 2: episode is brought to you by P and C Bank.
- 6:45Speaker 2: A lot of people think podcasts about work are boring,
- 6:48Speaker 2: and sure they definitely can be, but understanding a professionals
- 6:52Speaker 2: routine shows us how they achieve their success little by little,
- 6:55Speaker 2: day after day. It's like banking with P and C Bank.
- 7:00Speaker 2: You might seem boring the safe plan and make calculated
- 7:02Speaker 2: decisions with your bank, but keeping your money boring is
- 7:05Speaker 2: what helps you live or more happily fulfilled life. P
- 7:09Speaker 2: and C Bank Brilliantly Boring since eighteen sixty five. Brilliantly
- 7:14Speaker 2: Boring since eighteen sixty five is a service mark of

- 7:26Speaker 2: What's up You ever walk into a small business and
- 7:28Speaker 2: everything just works like. The checkout is fast, the receipts
- 7:31Speaker 2: are digital, tipping is a breeze, and you're out the
- 7:35Speaker 2: door before the line even builds odds are they're using Square.
- 7:40Speaker 2: We love supporting businesses that run on Square because it

- 8:11Speaker 2: on what matters most ready. To see how Square can

- 8:28Speaker 2: back end so you can keep pushing your vision forward.
- 8:32Speaker 2: Agree with you. I don't think he made a case
- 8:35Speaker 2: that the app is safe, right, So what's the issue.
- 8:38Speaker 2: The issue is saying that TikTok can threat in national
- 8:41Speaker 2: security and user privacy and can promote pro Beijing propaganda
- 8:44Speaker 2: and misinformation. That's the case, right. His defense was No,
- 8:49Speaker 2: he says that the company which they're saying that they
- 8:52Speaker 2: have other storage and other data is actually going to
- 8:54Speaker 2: be stored in a US user database that is maintained
- 8:58Speaker 2: by the giant software company name Oracle American Base.
- 9:01Speaker 4: Right.
- 9:02Speaker 2: The other part which is interesting, uh, is that during
- 9:06Speaker 2: this five hour grilling, he brought up some some pretty uh,
- 9:10Speaker 2: pretty big investors that are part of the TikTok investment
- 9:13Speaker 2: group that you may have heard us black Rock and
- 9:16Speaker 2: Sacoia Capital. And so it's like, when when your backs
- 9:20Speaker 2: against the wall and the American government is coming after you,
- 9:24Speaker 2: let's remind him who's invested in this company. And so
- 9:29Speaker 2: they reached out to black Rock and obviously Seqoia Capital
- 9:31Speaker 2: and K and KKR. Nobody had a comment. So do
- 9:35Speaker 2: I think he made a case to show that I
- 9:38Speaker 2: was safe. No, But he also put out a reminder, Hey,
- 9:43Speaker 2: these American companies are also part of this. The other
- 9:45Speaker 2: part with that I found this is like the number
- 9:48Speaker 2: one deleted app. You know what the number one deleted
- 9:50Speaker 2: app is right now, I'd face Instagram Instagram.
- 9:55Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 9:56Speaker 2: Interestingly enough, most people may ask what is the app
- 9:59Speaker 2: that they want to delete? It's it's Instagram, And so
- 10:01Speaker 2: it goes it goes into that that level of defiance.
- 10:04Speaker 2: What we can't do, we want to do more, And
- 10:07Speaker 2: so it makes sense why kids would want to be
- 10:09Speaker 2: on something that they're saying that their parents or the
- 10:12Speaker 2: older folk are saying you shouldn't use, you shouldn't use. No,
- 10:16Speaker 2: this this is ours. It treated like it was the
- 10:18Speaker 2: same way when Facebook came out, was like, oh, this
- 10:20Speaker 2: is for us. Your parents aren't allowed to be here.
- 10:22Speaker 2: So it's interesting. Do I think he made his case?
- 10:25Speaker 5: No?
- 10:25Speaker 2: Do I think it will be banned. I'm gonna monitor
- 10:30Speaker 2: it closely. It's it's it's interesting. It's especially the government
- 10:34Speaker 2: when we were talking about by partnership there there's some
- 10:37Speaker 2: things that they're never going to agree on. But it
- 10:39Speaker 2: felt for that five hours that this is a topic
- 10:42Speaker 2: that everybody's on the same page with.
- 10:45Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you might be right, And I think
- 10:47Speaker 4: what we also learned is how little lawmakers understand modern technology. Yes,
- 10:53Speaker 4: that part that was crazy, but that said, remember, uh,
- 10:58Speaker 4: you know I'm dating myself, but Napster, right, that was
- 11:02Speaker 4: against the industry, and the industry railed against Napster, but
- 11:05Speaker 4: Napster found its way, you know, into the people that
- 11:08Speaker 4: really wanted it, and then it's spot off all these
- 11:10Speaker 4: other things that became the way we stream music ultimately.
- 11:13Speaker 3: Apple Music and Spotify.
- 11:15Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. So it's one of those things that may
- 11:17Speaker 4: go wonder but it's going to come back as something
- 11:19Speaker 4: else because people that like it and people that use it,
- 11:21Speaker 4: and creators and tech enthusiasts and really smart people know
- 11:24Speaker 4: their way around this. So even it gets banned, people
- 11:27Speaker 4: are going to use it right, and then it's going
- 11:29Speaker 4: to come up as something else and it's going to
- 11:30Speaker 4: be probably even more dangerous. But he didn't convince anybody,
- 11:34Speaker 4: and not that anybody would ever believe even if he
- 11:36Speaker 4: said to our faces, no, your dad has one hundred
- 11:38Speaker 4: percent safe. We're not doing anything with it. Of course
- 11:40Speaker 4: they are.
- 11:41Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I think TikTok is, don't. I don't believe
- 11:46Speaker 5: in TikTok.
- 11:48Speaker 3: I don't believe though.
- 11:50Speaker 5: I don't believe it's as strong as as is made
- 11:52Speaker 5: out to be, as the eye test is not. I
- 11:55Speaker 5: have a very good post on pop culture current events.
- 12:00Speaker 5: And I'm not convinced with TikTok. But social media at
- 12:04Speaker 5: I think social media as a whole is kind of
- 12:08Speaker 5: falling apart. You can block, you can buy blue checks
- 12:11Speaker 5: on Instagram. Now you can buy blue checks.
- 12:13Speaker 3: Which is smart for the business.
- 12:16Speaker 5: It's bad for the It's bad for the brand. Exclusivity
- 12:21Speaker 5: is always is always a major part of any marketing
- 12:24Speaker 5: campaign in any type of you know, you want to
- 12:26Speaker 5: be in the club that nobody else is in. It's
- 12:29Speaker 5: bad for the brand. I think you can't reach your
- 12:33Speaker 5: full audience. That's always been an issue. The algorithm, it's
- 12:36Speaker 5: so much nonsense. It'll be interesting to see what the
- 12:39Speaker 5: next iteration of social communication will be. Maybe it's something
- 12:43Speaker 5: with you at GBT, maybe it's something with AI. I
- 12:46Speaker 5: think that that it definitely will be in that and
- 12:49Speaker 5: I think it's actually smart that Meta at least is
- 12:51Speaker 5: trying to try to be the Fourfront. I don't know
- 12:54Speaker 5: if they will capture that audience or not, but I
- 12:56Speaker 5: think social media it doesn't have too many days left.
- 13:00Speaker 5: When I say days, I mean like years, Like you know,
- 13:01Speaker 5: they still they're not going to fall apart tomorrow. But
- 13:04Speaker 5: I think it's on its downward. Yeah, there's too much
- 13:07Speaker 5: nonsense happening on social media period.
- 13:09Speaker 4: I got teenagers and for them it's Snap all day long.
- 13:13Speaker 5: Yeah, kids is communicating on snap snap. My son doesn't
- 13:17Speaker 5: even send regular text messages a Snap group chat. So
- 13:20Speaker 5: Snapchat is still very viable. As far as the communication,
- 13:23Speaker 5: it's scattered. It's all scattered. They're using Snapchat to communicate,
- 13:27Speaker 5: They're using TikTok to find restaurants and recommendations and dances.
- 13:33Speaker 5: And then people are on Instagram for their news and
- 13:36Speaker 5: celebrity gossip. They're on Twitter. So they're just using different
- 13:39Speaker 5: platforms for a variety of different reasons. So social media
- 13:43Speaker 5: is and shambles. But we'll see what happens. We'll see
- 13:47Speaker 5: what happens. But I'm just not a believer in the
- 13:50Speaker 5: long term viability of TikTok. My graduates from my school
- 13:57Speaker 5: being forced bad and drop.
- 14:13Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
