- 0:58Speaker 3: And here we are man like we talked about We've
- 1:04Speaker 3: talked about these issues so many times, the economy, the
- 1:07Speaker 3: war cycle, everything that's going.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Wrong in the world, and you know.
- 1:14Speaker 3: Every time, it's like deja vu all over again. It's uh,
- 1:18Speaker 3: you hope things are gonna get better, but you know
- 1:23Speaker 3: how much better are they going to get? And in
- 1:27Speaker 3: any event, well, we're still here, so let's talk about
- 1:31Speaker 3: what's happening.
- 1:32Speaker 2: In the world here.
- 1:34Speaker 3: I know you've got some charts you want to share
- 1:35Speaker 3: with us. We're streaming this to the FSN community. I
- 1:42Speaker 3: don't have access to that window right this second, or
- 1:45Speaker 3: I could tell us how many people were there. But
- 1:50Speaker 3: you know, as all this is happening, you know there's
- 1:55Speaker 3: real life, real world consequences. Tell us, Brie, what are
- 2:01Speaker 3: your thoughts about what's happening right now in the world,
- 2:04Speaker 3: economy wise, war cycle, metals, shot stocks, all of that stuff.
- 2:10Speaker 4: Sure, happy to and we can look at some charts
- 2:12Speaker 4: here in a minute, I'll pull them up. I'll just
- 2:13Speaker 4: make a couple of brief, maybe introductory comments about.
- 2:17Speaker 2: What we see.
- 2:18Speaker 4: Am I coming through? Okay, Carrie, you hear me? Okay,
- 2:21Speaker 4: good deal, Yeah, you're perfect. Nice Okay. Well, first of all,
- 2:25Speaker 4: great to be here, and I appreciate your show. I
- 2:26Speaker 4: appreciate your work. You've been doing a lot of stuff
- 2:28Speaker 4: for a long time, trying to wake up folks and
- 2:30Speaker 4: help them understand the situation. And the situation is just
- 2:36Speaker 4: that we have to find the silver lining in all
- 2:39Speaker 4: of this. We have to continue to be positive and
- 2:43Speaker 4: optimistic for our families and for ourselves and for our communities.
- 2:49Speaker 4: But The truth is is that you know, those living
- 2:52Speaker 4: here in America, this is a this is a very
- 2:54Speaker 4: challenging time. We don't have to tell people that the
- 2:57Speaker 4: prices of everything have obviously gone up. Right now, we're
- 3:01Speaker 4: staring at PPI and CPI prints that have come in
- 3:06Speaker 4: at three year highs. That's just as we have Jerome
- 3:10Speaker 4: Powell exiting stage left and then or right, whatever we
- 3:14Speaker 4: want to say, we have Kevin Warsh coming in, who
- 3:19Speaker 4: has forever and a day, Carrie, been an inflation hawk.
- 3:25Speaker 4: Right He's worried about inflation, sees inflation behind every bush.
- 3:30Speaker 4: And now now that he's been appointed, he has seen
- 3:35Speaker 4: the light, Carrie. He has realized that inflation is not
- 3:40Speaker 4: that pesky problem that we once thought it was, and instead,
- 3:45Speaker 4: what we need right before the midterms, the right before
- 3:49Speaker 4: the midterm elections, Carrie, would be a nice little round
- 3:51Speaker 4: of rake cuts. And so that's what's happening right now.
- 3:56Speaker 4: We have inflation, we have data that is screaming to
- 4:01Speaker 4: us that we are not going the right direction, and
- 4:05Speaker 4: then we have policymakers who are coming in and ignoring
- 4:09Speaker 4: that for political benefit. I think that's just outright what's
- 4:13Speaker 4: happening for the average individual out there.
- 4:18Speaker 2: You know, they're.
- 4:18Speaker 4: Seeing high prices. They've heard these promises about how everything
- 4:23Speaker 4: is going to get better, and you know, we can
- 4:26Speaker 4: obviously point to the stock market. Maybe I'll throw up
- 4:28Speaker 4: a heat map real quick, we'll look at some just
- 4:31Speaker 4: what's happening right now. Let me turn this on here,
- 4:37Speaker 4: get the right one.
- 4:38Speaker 2: There it is.
- 4:39Speaker 4: You should be seeing a heat map now on the screen.
- 4:41Speaker 4: Hopefully you see that, Carrie, I'll add it and there
- 4:45Speaker 4: we are. Nice all zoom in just a bit so
- 4:48Speaker 4: we can see.
- 4:49Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 4:49Speaker 4: So, I mean, you know we're looking here. We got
- 4:51Speaker 4: Silber at seventy six. It's pulled back obviously from its eyes.
- 4:54Speaker 4: We'll look at some better charts in a second. Gold's
- 4:56Speaker 4: around forty five hundred as we speak. The dollars back down,
- 5:00Speaker 4: you know, below that one hundred level. That's the key
- 5:02Speaker 4: area we watch. The Vicks is holding steady about twenty.
- 5:05Speaker 4: I mean, once it gets above twenty five, we start
- 5:07Speaker 4: to look for, you know, really good opportunities. Right now,
- 5:10Speaker 4: it's pretty low despite all the stuff that's going on
- 5:14Speaker 4: in oil just remains elevated as well. You know, when
- 5:16Speaker 4: you look at crypto, it's kind of a same thing.
- 5:19Speaker 4: We've been in a funk for a while, but maybe
- 5:21Speaker 4: we can drill into some actual charts. Let me, I'll
- 5:25Speaker 4: come over to Follow the Money dot com. You can
- 5:27Speaker 4: go to Follow the Money dot com forward slash charts
- 5:30Speaker 4: and you can get you can see all of these
- 5:33Speaker 4: charts that we put up each and every weekend. This
- 5:36Speaker 4: particular chart shows the S and P five hundred and
- 5:39Speaker 4: as I was pointing out, we've seen, you know, yields like,
- 5:44Speaker 4: for example, the thirty years was it, the thirty year
- 5:48Speaker 4: yield on the treasury yield was at a nineteen year high.
- 5:55Speaker 4: This week, we've seen the ten year yield climb. It's
- 5:58Speaker 4: actually at its high for only twenty six We keep
- 6:01Speaker 4: hitting new highs, so yields are going up, which which
- 6:05Speaker 4: tells us that the market doesn't believe that we're going
- 6:10Speaker 4: to have rate cuts. I mean, that's just clearly what's happening.
- 6:12Speaker 4: They're seeing inflationary pressure. You talked about the war cycle.
- 6:17Speaker 4: I mean that's obviously adding a lot of pressure as well,
- 6:21Speaker 4: but investors are like, you know, throwing caution to the wind.
- 6:26Speaker 4: And quite frankly, when we look at the underlying earnings
- 6:32Speaker 4: for many of these stocks that are upholding the market.
- 6:36Speaker 4: It's it's fantastic. I mean really really when you look
- 6:40Speaker 4: at the earnings, the rally, at least this time is
- 6:44Speaker 4: supported by really strong earnings. Now maybe strong earnings and
- 6:48Speaker 4: just a few companies. The breadth is still strange for
- 6:51Speaker 4: the market to be in an all time high. For example,
- 6:53Speaker 4: let me show you this chart. Now, this was this
- 6:56Speaker 4: was taken I think on Friday, so it's just a
- 7:00Speaker 4: little bit Often these are just maybe a day or
- 7:02Speaker 4: two old, but you can see here this particular chart
- 7:06Speaker 4: is the percentage of stocks in the S and P
- 7:08Speaker 4: trading above their two hundred day moving average. Well, so
- 7:11Speaker 4: typically when you get to a new all time high,
- 7:14Speaker 4: a lot of stocks are participating. And I think that's
- 7:16Speaker 4: been making news lately is that it's basically one out
- 7:18Speaker 4: of two stocks that are even in the S and
- 7:20Speaker 4: P five hundred that are even above their two hundred
- 7:23Speaker 4: day moving average, which is kind of a dividing line
- 7:26Speaker 4: from bulls and bears kind of thing. When something goes
- 7:29Speaker 4: below the two hundred SMA, people are like, well, that's probably,
- 7:32Speaker 4: you know, not a great place to be. When it's
- 7:33Speaker 4: above it, they tend to think, well, maybe it's more bullish. Well,
- 7:36Speaker 4: if you just take the S and P and just
- 7:38Speaker 4: you know, cut it in half of half of the stocks,
- 7:40Speaker 4: two hundred and fifty stocks are above the two hundred day,
- 7:43Speaker 4: two hundred fifty stocks are below it, which is really
- 7:46Speaker 4: indicates a mixed market, kind of mixed breadth, is what
- 7:49Speaker 4: we would say. And yet the market's at an all
- 7:53Speaker 4: time high. So it's depending upon fewer stocks to get there.
- 7:58Speaker 4: But when you look at the underlying or of those stocks,
- 8:01Speaker 4: I mean, it's really impressive. You know, if you go
- 8:05Speaker 4: back to stay like the dot com bubble, there a
- 8:07Speaker 4: lot of people are worried about another bubble. It's understandable.
- 8:11Speaker 4: I think there's areas where we do see bubble, like
- 8:14Speaker 4: you know, prices. But you know, when you go back to, say,
- 8:18Speaker 4: like the dot com bubble, which I traded through, I
- 8:20Speaker 4: cut my teeth trading through the dot com bubble, didn't
- 8:23Speaker 4: we all.
- 8:24Speaker 2: Didn't we? Right?
- 8:26Speaker 4: But yeah, Well, back in March of two thousand, if
- 8:30Speaker 4: you looked like the forward, you know, twelve month forward
- 8:33Speaker 4: pe ratio of say it's something like Oracle that was
- 8:37Speaker 4: like one hundred and sixty. If you looked at something
- 8:39Speaker 4: like Cisco, which was the Darling. I mean that was
- 8:42Speaker 4: like the Nvidia member of the dot sure and Cisco,
- 8:45Speaker 4: like It's ford PE ratio was around one hundred and
- 8:48Speaker 4: forty at the peak, or maybe I got those backwards anyway,
- 8:53Speaker 4: and even Microsoft was way up and so but when
- 8:55Speaker 4: you look at the forward pees now, because it's a function,
- 8:58Speaker 4: it's literally a function of price, you know, over whatever
- 9:01Speaker 4: the net income is. When you look at that today
- 9:04Speaker 4: and you look at like the big drivers of this
- 9:06Speaker 4: market and Video, Microsoft, you know, some of the other ones,
- 9:09Speaker 4: you have, Facebook or Meta. When you look at you know,
- 9:13Speaker 4: these stocks and you look at their forward pe ratios,
- 9:17Speaker 4: they're in the twenties, all of them. They're in the twenties.
- 9:20Speaker 4: I think Apple may be a little elevated. I think
- 9:23Speaker 4: it's like thirty two or something. But overall, when you
- 9:25Speaker 4: look at what's driving the market, the forward pees are
- 9:29Speaker 4: not set not screaming to us at, oh wow, we're
- 9:31Speaker 4: in a big bubble. I mean, the earnings are supporting
- 9:33Speaker 4: this rally, so so far, so far, right so far,
- 9:38Speaker 4: And I think that the big fear for a lot
- 9:41Speaker 4: of it is let's like, for example, look at the Nasdaq,
- 9:44Speaker 4: which is you know, obviously had incredible rallies. I mean,
- 9:48Speaker 4: look at from the five point fifty low that we
- 9:51Speaker 4: were at of late March. I mean, this was no
- 9:53Speaker 4: V shape recovery. This was something else. I mean it
- 9:56Speaker 4: V shaped and then went way beyond. And you know,
- 9:59Speaker 4: so we went from on QQQ, for example, we went
- 10:02Speaker 4: from five point fifty ish back in late March to
- 10:07Speaker 4: seven twenty I mean in six weeks. I mean that's
- 10:10Speaker 4: a monster move, and so we're probably due for a
- 10:15Speaker 4: pullback there. I mean, obviously nothing goes like that forever.
- 10:18Speaker 4: You can really see it pronounced on this weekly chart
- 10:21Speaker 4: where we pulled back to that fifty weekly moving average,
- 10:24Speaker 4: really important one for technical traders, and man, it just
- 10:27Speaker 4: went crazy. Now let me zoom in because there's something
- 10:30Speaker 4: real interesting happening here on this very last print. I
- 10:34Speaker 4: don't know how well you can see that, but we
- 10:36Speaker 4: but this week week is not over. But we've had
- 10:39Speaker 4: this powerful series of big candlestick you know, bullish candlesticks
- 10:43Speaker 4: going higher higher. We've had one, two, three, four, or
- 10:46Speaker 4: five six weeks in a row of just nice powerful
- 10:50Speaker 4: price action to the upside. What you look for when
- 10:54Speaker 4: you're trying to figure out, you know, where does this
- 10:56Speaker 4: thing end or when are we going to get a
- 10:58Speaker 4: correction or whatever. You usually see it on the weekly candle,
- 11:01Speaker 4: and it'll often look like either just an obvious reversal,
- 11:06Speaker 4: like it just comes back down, or you get to
- 11:08Speaker 4: a dogie candle, and that's what we're seeing this week.
- 11:10Speaker 2: Now.
- 11:10Speaker 4: If that holds, I don't know if it will because
- 11:12Speaker 4: we haven't got n Vidia earnings. But if you had,
- 11:14Speaker 4: like this was Friday and we were closing out with
- 11:16Speaker 4: a dogie right there after a series of powerful bullish candles,
- 11:20Speaker 4: you would say that's a potential reversal signal. We may
- 11:23Speaker 4: see some selling next week. So I'm kind of preparing
- 11:27Speaker 4: to see a little bit of a pullback here because
- 11:30Speaker 4: we've had such an incredible rally. But overall, if you
- 11:34Speaker 4: look at something like gold, take let's take a look
- 11:36Speaker 4: at gold for a second, because gold is doing something
- 11:39Speaker 4: also interesting. We broke out above the one hundred sma
- 11:46Speaker 4: on gold back in late twenty twenty three. That became
- 11:50Speaker 4: the primary support area for physical gold since then, and
- 11:55Speaker 4: we didn't lose that one hundred sma through twenty four
- 12:00Speaker 4: through twenty five. It consistently held and we just lost
- 12:03Speaker 4: it in February and now it's been acting as a
- 12:06Speaker 4: form of resistance. Well, I don't have the one hundred
- 12:09Speaker 4: on here, I have the fifty, but the one hundred
- 12:10Speaker 4: is a really important one when you're looking at physical gold,
- 12:13Speaker 4: at least for this particular uptrend. And you'll notice here
- 12:17Speaker 4: with physical gold, we're back in this demand what we
- 12:19Speaker 4: call the demand zone between say forty four hundred and
- 12:22Speaker 4: forty six hundred. We got that ice two hundred day support,
- 12:26Speaker 4: but we're in a really interesting area here where we
- 12:28Speaker 4: have a declining fifty day moving average and a rising
- 12:31Speaker 4: two hundred day. So gold is going to get pinched
- 12:33Speaker 4: here at some point and it's going to have to
- 12:35Speaker 4: make a decision as to where it wants to go.
- 12:36Speaker 4: It's been kind of dancing sideways for a bit, so
- 12:39Speaker 4: we're looking for some sort of clarity there. Big five
- 12:42Speaker 4: thousand dollars resistance overhead, and right now the gold silver
- 12:48Speaker 4: ratio still favors gold. I mean, if you're betwixt between
- 12:52Speaker 4: the two and saying which one is the better one
- 12:54Speaker 4: to buy here, I think they're both in pretty good
- 12:56Speaker 4: shape price wise. They've held very well relative to you
- 13:02Speaker 4: know what we would expect, especially withate with rates going up,
- 13:06Speaker 4: you know, rates going up, me scrolling here to silver here.
- 13:11Speaker 4: With rates going up, you know, typically you would think
- 13:15Speaker 4: to yourself, well, that's not good news for gold and
- 13:17Speaker 4: silver because they're going to be competing with yield. Well,
- 13:21Speaker 4: it all depends why the rates are. Why you know
- 13:26Speaker 4: the rates are going up, why are yields rising? And
- 13:29Speaker 4: if it's because you know, there's an expectation of you know, uh,
- 13:36Speaker 4: major economic growth, they're gonna have to calm it down. Well,
- 13:39Speaker 4: that's one thing, but that's not the case.
- 13:42Speaker 2: Uh.
- 13:42Speaker 4: The reason why yields are going up right now, they're
- 13:45Speaker 4: they're backing off a bit today, But the reason why
- 13:47Speaker 4: they've been on the ascent is because investors Wall Street
- 13:52Speaker 4: knows inflation is going up. And this was what we
- 13:57Speaker 4: were told was going to be handled, and it's not
- 14:00Speaker 4: being handled. It's getting worse. War makes inflation worse, or
- 14:05Speaker 4: the deficit spending makes inflation worse. And I think the
- 14:09Speaker 4: incoming FED chair, Kevin Worsh has laid out a couple
- 14:13Speaker 4: of interesting things. First of all, he said that you
- 14:17Speaker 4: can't rely upon the old inflation metrics. The FED notoriously
- 14:23Speaker 4: looks at the core PCE numbers, the personal consumption expenditures
- 14:27Speaker 4: and they prefer that over the CPI for inflation. Well,
- 14:35Speaker 4: the new incoming FED chair has made the case that
- 14:39Speaker 4: that's an inferior indicator, of inferior metric for measuring inflation,
- 14:43Speaker 4: and he prefers to use a D trended six month
- 14:47Speaker 4: or twelve month. I forget what. I don't have the
- 14:48Speaker 4: exact metric in firm, but he has a different preference
- 14:51Speaker 4: and we're all going to hear about it soon. He's
- 14:53Speaker 4: going to be talking about it much more. But the
- 14:55Speaker 4: point is is that he's picked another inflation number that
- 14:58Speaker 4: looks better and doesn't look is negative, as the PCEE
- 15:01Speaker 4: obviously does, right, And so so he's picking something where
- 15:05Speaker 4: he says, well, look it looks like it's lower, and
- 15:08Speaker 4: then on top of that he'll try to use that
- 15:11Speaker 4: to to to cut rates ahead of the midterms. But
- 15:14Speaker 4: also he's pointing at the obvious and inevitable deflationary pressures
- 15:24Speaker 4: that come with innovation in AI, and he's I think
- 15:27Speaker 4: when you look at AI, for example, it's that's the
- 15:31Speaker 4: big question mark. That's the big that's the big question
- 15:34Speaker 4: mark as to whether this rally continues, even in silver,
- 15:37Speaker 4: even in copper, even in uranium, not just in tech,
- 15:43Speaker 4: because there's a big backlash to AI. The Wallstream Journal
- 15:47Speaker 4: ran a really interesting headline yesterday about how how many
- 15:50Speaker 4: data centers had been shut down from political pressure in
- 15:54Speaker 4: different cities and how it's kind of freaking out big tech.
- 16:00Speaker 4: The President wants America to be the number.
- 16:03Speaker 2: One AI power in the world.
- 16:05Speaker 4: And he knows that if we don't, you know, he knows,
- 16:08Speaker 4: as most of the big tech folks know, that if
- 16:10Speaker 4: we don't do it, somebody else will. China has already
- 16:12Speaker 4: given our many different areas evs, especially drone technology, all
- 16:17Speaker 4: this kind of stuff, and and AI, I mean, they're
- 16:19Speaker 4: they're not afraid of it, that they're pushing forward. And
- 16:22Speaker 4: we have a lot of Ludites in this country. I'm
- 16:25Speaker 4: I can be one of them sometimes.
- 16:28Speaker 2: Sometimes, you know.
- 16:28Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not saying that, you know, sometimes I can.
- 16:31Speaker 4: And it all depends and and and it seems like, uh,
- 16:35Speaker 4: this situation here could really be difficult it But it
- 16:40Speaker 4: does seem like that the current the president administration is
- 16:43Speaker 4: going to try to ram this through despite what we
- 16:45Speaker 4: think about AI, because I think they know that.
- 16:49Speaker 2: They're in a race.
- 16:50Speaker 4: They're in the arms rates with China and if they
- 16:52Speaker 4: allow you know, people to say, look, we don't want AI.
- 16:56Speaker 4: That that actually going to cost us long term, but
- 16:59Speaker 4: don't forget it. You know, people were afraid of trains.
- 17:04Speaker 4: Whenever trains came out.
- 17:05Speaker 2: I mean, the.
- 17:06Speaker 4: Railroad was considered, you know, going to be an ecological disaster.
- 17:10Speaker 4: It was gonna you know, it was going to destroy
- 17:12Speaker 4: properties and all these things. And then of course when
- 17:14Speaker 4: the Model T came out, uh, you know, that was
- 17:18Speaker 4: a new innovation, and people thought that was a death trap.
- 17:21Speaker 4: They said, I'll never get in one of those things,
- 17:23Speaker 4: you know, and I'd rather ride a horse, you know,
- 17:26Speaker 4: the true. And then when they they started to electrify homes,
- 17:30Speaker 4: they started bringing in cables and they started bringing them
- 17:32Speaker 4: into your house. People were like, that's that's like, you're
- 17:35Speaker 4: going to literally get fried in your own house. Why
- 17:37Speaker 4: in the world would you connect an electric cable to
- 17:40Speaker 4: your house. People thought that was an idiotic and so
- 17:44Speaker 4: and then when the Internet came around, people were like, well,
- 17:46Speaker 4: this is going to take my job or nobody's going
- 17:48Speaker 4: to work in normal jobs anymore, and who's gonna who
- 17:51Speaker 4: the hell's why would you use email? I mean, we
- 17:54Speaker 4: always write letters. This is fine, Why do we need so?
- 17:57Speaker 4: I mean, when we look at AI.
- 17:59Speaker 3: It just so good, good, right post off a good
- 18:01Speaker 3: who would ever want to replace.
- 18:05Speaker 4: Exactly so and and so so.
- 18:09Speaker 2: So. Now now we're in.
- 18:10Speaker 4: A situation where those those same fears are rising up.
- 18:14Speaker 4: I mean, and they're legitimate, because people are fearful, like
- 18:17Speaker 4: they see people, they see big tech you know, killing
- 18:20Speaker 4: jobs and getting rid of people and saying we're going
- 18:22Speaker 4: to use AI for this stuff. And so we're in
- 18:25Speaker 4: a real strange situation right now. And I think this
- 18:28Speaker 4: is just the transitionary period between making it from where
- 18:33Speaker 4: we are now kind of like discovering AI and the
- 18:37Speaker 4: whole world's kind of realizing what it is, to where
- 18:40Speaker 4: we actually you know, become consumers of it and and
- 18:45Speaker 4: actually you know, kind of give way to it. And
- 18:48Speaker 4: and we're in a tough spot right now. And China
- 18:50Speaker 4: knows that it's trying to accelerate, it doesn't face the
- 18:52Speaker 4: same kind of backlash from its people because of its
- 18:55Speaker 4: political system. So America is a little more compromise and
- 18:58Speaker 4: vulnerable here to lose this race. Well, anyway, if if
- 19:04Speaker 4: in the near term we see that anti AI sentiment
- 19:10Speaker 4: rise and rise and rise. That could that could harm
- 19:13Speaker 4: copper because data centers require copper. It could hurt silver
- 19:19Speaker 4: because silver is going into these data centers. It could
- 19:21Speaker 4: hurt uranium because uranium is one of the big power
- 19:25Speaker 4: sources that these guys want to use for their data centers.
- 19:29Speaker 4: And it could hurt these big tech stocks because they
- 19:31Speaker 4: have kind of built into their you know, their plans
- 19:33Speaker 4: that we're going to have enough power to to generate
- 19:37Speaker 4: enough power supply to take care of all this demand.
- 19:41Speaker 4: And so it's kind of a precarious time right now. Silver,
- 19:46Speaker 4: as you can see, is trying to make up its mind.
- 19:48Speaker 4: It's been grinding sideways for a bit. And then of
- 19:53Speaker 4: course oil has been stealing the show. What's interesting about
- 19:57Speaker 4: oil here is typically oil will rally toward the later
- 20:01Speaker 4: phase of a market cycle. And usually I always refer
- 20:06Speaker 4: to oil or the energy sector is kind of like
- 20:08Speaker 4: the bull killer. I mean, usually what happens is everybody's
- 20:11Speaker 4: having a party, Tech is going up, financials are going up,
- 20:14Speaker 4: and then here comes energy, and energy gets its run,
- 20:18Speaker 4: and when it does, of course, it just destroy you know,
- 20:20Speaker 4: it raises all the input costs for everything, and so
- 20:24Speaker 4: then it starts to pressure that bull market. And what's
- 20:27Speaker 4: interesting is we've seen energy just dominate this year's price action,
- 20:32Speaker 4: I mean by a mile, but the market's still up
- 20:36Speaker 4: like it's not it's not getting as pressured. And I
- 20:39Speaker 4: go back to my thesis of this is really due
- 20:42Speaker 4: to some of the best earnings I've ever seen in
- 20:45Speaker 4: my life when it comes to big tech and consumer
- 20:50Speaker 4: I mean, the earnings are I mean just really something,
- 20:54Speaker 4: and so I think we have enough to support it.
- 20:57Speaker 4: But oil has just been the you know, it hasn't
- 21:00Speaker 4: played the role that many people think. And I think
- 21:02Speaker 4: a lot of times, I think a lot of people
- 21:04Speaker 4: bought into the idea that this war was just going
- 21:06Speaker 4: to last for a few weeks and so that maybe
- 21:08Speaker 4: maybe they think it's going to end soon. I don't
- 21:10Speaker 4: know what they're thinking, but if you listen to big
- 21:12Speaker 4: uh big brains on this topic, guys like Jeff Curry
- 21:16Speaker 4: over it. I know, he was a Golden Sacks for
- 21:18Speaker 4: a long time and maybe he's still their commodities head
- 21:21Speaker 4: commodity guy. He's like, look, you know, this oil thing
- 21:25Speaker 4: is going to get worse and worse and worse, and
- 21:27Speaker 4: so you know, the idea is is that it's going
- 21:30Speaker 4: to really begin to pressure things. We haven't really seen that.
- 21:33Speaker 4: We keep hearing that, but we're and we see it
- 21:36Speaker 4: at the gas bumps. We see certainly there's inflationary pressures,
- 21:39Speaker 4: but as far as it actually pushing the stock market
- 21:42Speaker 4: down and you know, dissuading investors from being you know,
- 21:46Speaker 4: you know in the market. You know, we haven't really
- 21:49Speaker 4: seen that quite yet. So there's just a brief overview.
- 21:52Speaker 4: I mean, that's kind of a long overview actually of
- 21:55Speaker 4: some things, but that kind of gives you an idea
- 21:57Speaker 4: of what I'm looking at.
- 21:58Speaker 3: Okay, So you know, I went to Martin Armstrong's World
- 22:01Speaker 3: Economic Conference in November and he said two two six
- 22:08Speaker 3: panic cycle year, and he nailed it. He said, starting
- 22:15Speaker 3: in March, volatility and volatility in metals, and he nailed
- 22:21Speaker 3: that to the day. My take on what's happening here
- 22:26Speaker 3: is Cuba is going to fall any day, just in
- 22:31Speaker 3: time for the mid terms. Now, a lot of this
- 22:36Speaker 3: is psychological for the nation as a whole. Cuba has
- 22:41Speaker 3: been a thorn in the side of the United States
- 22:43Speaker 3: for almost seventy years. You know, the Cuba fell two
- 22:48Speaker 3: years after I was born. I was two years old
- 22:51Speaker 3: when it fell. Cuba's falling, and this is going to
- 22:56Speaker 3: lead for Texas and Florida, but especially Florida is going
- 23:03Speaker 3: to be a humongous boom, huge because the way the
- 23:08Speaker 3: law is set up right now, Once Cuba falls, the
- 23:11Speaker 3: property claims of Americans, businesses and individuals who had their
- 23:17Speaker 3: property seized by the Cuban government, that's going to be settled.
- 23:22Speaker 3: And there's going to be tens, if not hundreds of
- 23:26Speaker 3: billions of dollars flowing from the United States into Cuba. Psychologically,
- 23:32Speaker 3: that is going to be a huge, huge boost for
- 23:37Speaker 3: the country. And you know, recessions start first in the
- 23:42Speaker 3: economy and then they go to the individual. In terms
- 23:46Speaker 3: of your mind, a depression is literally everybody is depressed,
- 23:51Speaker 3: and the economy is just the end result of it. Right,
- 23:54Speaker 3: So what we're seeing here is exactly, if I could
- 23:58Speaker 3: just summarize what you said exact, exactly the opposite of
- 24:01Speaker 3: what you'd expect to see. The market should be tanking.
- 24:04Speaker 3: We're in a war that seemingly has no end. You know,
- 24:09Speaker 3: We've got all these confrontations all over the world, and
- 24:13Speaker 3: yet the market keeps going up exactly the opposite of
- 24:18Speaker 3: what everyone thinks. You and I both know inflation, really
- 24:25Speaker 3: it has no place to go but up for the
- 24:27Speaker 3: reasons you outline the deficit oil prices. You know, when
- 24:32Speaker 3: oil breaks one hundred in the past, that like guaranteed
- 24:38Speaker 3: a pretty substantial recession. And yet and maybe that's happening
- 24:43Speaker 3: in Europe, but we don't see it here yet, at
- 24:46Speaker 3: least not based on the economic numbers. That doesn't mean
- 24:49Speaker 3: it won't happen, but my guess is it's not going to.
- 24:53Speaker 3: You know the old saying that economists have called two
- 24:57Speaker 3: out of the last five retactions, right right, pie that
- 25:01Speaker 3: the last two rather by that elact.
- 25:04Speaker 4: Like they're thirteen out of the last two or whatever.
- 25:06Speaker 3: Yeah, I forget something like that. And I'd been guilty
- 25:08Speaker 3: of that myself until I started really watching money flows.
- 25:13Speaker 2: And that's it.
- 25:13Speaker 3: Money is pouring into the US. You know, your concerns
- 25:17Speaker 3: about the data centers and the backlash. You know, there
- 25:22Speaker 3: was one that got nailed for taking thirty million gallons
- 25:26Speaker 3: of water a day and basically lowering the pressure someplace
- 25:31Speaker 3: in the Midwest.
- 25:32Speaker 2: I want to say it was in Ohio somewhere.
- 25:35Speaker 3: You know, like, there's definitely some unintended consequences of data
- 25:39Speaker 3: centers but I agree with you and that the government
- 25:43Speaker 3: is going to clear the uh basically grease the skids
- 25:49Speaker 3: for data centers. And Jerry, when did you ever see
- 25:53Speaker 3: a capital boom like what we're seeing here now? Physical boom.
- 26:00Speaker 3: It's one thing when you have a bunch of dot
- 26:01Speaker 3: coms and you got code monkeys, you know, isolated in
- 26:07Speaker 3: in cubicles banging out code. But we actually have something
- 26:11Speaker 3: physical here that's occurring. Obviously a lot of it is software,
- 26:15Speaker 3: don't get me wrong, But the physical manifestation are these
- 26:19Speaker 3: data centers, and it seems like I don't quite understand
- 26:23Speaker 3: why we just can't have enough of them. If you
- 26:27Speaker 3: can figure it out, I'd love to hear what you
- 26:29Speaker 3: think about that. But the AI is what's driving everything
- 26:33Speaker 3: productivity wise. You know, my daughter works for a very
- 26:39Speaker 3: substantial high tech company. I won't mention them, but you know,
- 26:43Speaker 3: one of the top three, and they just canned ten
- 26:47Speaker 3: percent of their workforce. Luckily she didn't get she wasn't
- 26:51Speaker 3: among the casualties, although she was ready to be. But
- 26:54Speaker 3: you know, that is a sign when big tech is
- 26:58Speaker 3: laying off these people. It's not that business is bad,
- 27:02Speaker 3: it's that business is so good. But they don't need
- 27:06Speaker 3: as many people to do it anymore.
- 27:10Speaker 4: Well, yeah, let's break that down. I mean, so the
- 27:14Speaker 4: data centers are very water intensive, they're very resource intensive,
- 27:18Speaker 4: power intensive. Of course, part of the reason why we're why,
- 27:23Speaker 4: part of the reason why we're struggling and why this
- 27:26Speaker 4: is a struggle is because the United States has a
- 27:29Speaker 4: policy that prefers certain energy sources. It's not unusual for
- 27:37Speaker 4: a country to do that, but what it's done, I
- 27:39Speaker 4: think is that it's kind of shot itself in the foot.
- 27:43Speaker 4: It certainly has caused a good, strong rebound in fossil fuels.
- 27:52Speaker 4: The problem is is that we need all forms of energy,
- 27:55Speaker 4: and I think the data center issue is exposing that. Okay,
- 27:59Speaker 4: so many people are opposed to solar. They say, well,
- 28:02Speaker 4: we don't want solar because it can't you know, we
- 28:04Speaker 4: can't have solar because if there's this cloudy day then
- 28:06Speaker 4: it doesn't work, okay. Or they'll say we don't want
- 28:08Speaker 4: geothermal because of this, or we don't want wind because
- 28:10Speaker 4: it's unattracted. And then and then we we can't dig
- 28:16Speaker 4: enough coal out of the ground to take care of
- 28:17Speaker 4: these data centers, or we don't have enough resources or
- 28:20Speaker 4: enough power so we're like, oh, maybe we should do
- 28:22Speaker 4: some uranium. Well that takes forever, right, So the point
- 28:25Speaker 4: is is that instead of having a all power supply
- 28:29Speaker 4: on deck, we want all sources of energy at all times,
- 28:32Speaker 4: like we want to improve and make them better and
- 28:34Speaker 4: make them more efficient. And we're not just going to
- 28:36Speaker 4: prefer big oil because they donated to our campaign. What
- 28:40Speaker 4: we want is we want all forms of power, and
- 28:42Speaker 4: we want as much of them as we can possibly get.
- 28:45Speaker 4: And whenever I say that, what I'm referring to is China.
- 28:48Speaker 4: So China has said, guess what we want all solar,
- 28:52Speaker 4: we want all wind, we want all you know, coal,
- 28:55Speaker 4: we want all I mean, they don't care what the
- 28:57Speaker 4: hell it is. They want the power. They need the power.
- 29:00Speaker 4: They got a bunch of people, they got a bunch
- 29:01Speaker 4: of stuff to do. Over here, we're playing we're playing
- 29:03Speaker 4: politics with it. We don't want to let the solar
- 29:05Speaker 4: guys get any money, we don't want the renewable guys
- 29:08Speaker 4: getting any money. But we don't mind giving big oil
- 29:10Speaker 4: bunch of you know money. And so the point is
- 29:13Speaker 4: we're playing games. And now you know, we've been kind
- 29:15Speaker 4: of exposed because the data centers, these big tech CEOs
- 29:19Speaker 4: are freaking out. They're like, we're going to freaking need
- 29:21Speaker 4: to open three mile Island. You know, in twenty twenty six.
- 29:25Speaker 4: What in the world, Where where has our investment and
- 29:28Speaker 4: energy been. Meanwhile, China has been, you know, been doing
- 29:31Speaker 4: it and so yeah, so we've been playing games and
- 29:34Speaker 4: playing foot seats with this stuff, and now it's kind
- 29:36Speaker 4: of getting exposed. So now they're starting to fast track
- 29:40Speaker 4: uranium development. We're seeing a little bit of lessening in
- 29:44Speaker 4: terms of renewable the resistance we started to see, you know,
- 29:47Speaker 4: people start to say, oh, we like solar now, and
- 29:49Speaker 4: so like they have to like solar. We don't have
- 29:51Speaker 4: a choice. We have to accept all forms of energy
- 29:54Speaker 4: at this point, we don't. We can't. We can't just
- 29:56Speaker 4: play political games with this stuff. And so there's that.
- 30:00Speaker 4: The second thing is like with the layoffs around the
- 30:02Speaker 4: data centers or around the big tech and as they're
- 30:07Speaker 4: moving into AI, you know, I would say that maybe
- 30:11Speaker 4: over the course of the next eighteen to thirty six months.
- 30:16Speaker 4: This is just a prognostication. I'm probably going to be
- 30:19Speaker 4: off on this, but I'll just kind of give you
- 30:21Speaker 4: what I'm thinking. It just kind of gives you a
- 30:22Speaker 4: little window and what I'm thinking, I'm thinking over the
- 30:24Speaker 4: next eighteen to thirty six months that businesses will be
- 30:29Speaker 4: transformed in a way that totally we can't imagine, Like
- 30:33Speaker 4: we can't really imagine what it's going to be like,
- 30:35Speaker 4: but you realize that the AI to power, you can
- 30:38Speaker 4: think about how AI has helped your business. I can
- 30:40Speaker 4: think about how AI has helped my business. Well, that's
- 30:44Speaker 4: imagine that just everywhere in every city and every state,
- 30:47Speaker 4: in every community, everybody is seeing that, Wow, you know
- 30:51Speaker 4: all of these things that I used to have to
- 30:54Speaker 4: do that took time. And then basically what happened was
- 30:59Speaker 4: is you just up. If you're running a business, a
- 31:01Speaker 4: lot of the things that AI allows you to outsource,
- 31:04Speaker 4: you'll find out we're just maintenance things like you're just
- 31:07Speaker 4: maintaining the business. You're not really growing the business. You're
- 31:09Speaker 4: just really trying to maintain the business. Right, And so
- 31:12Speaker 4: what AI is doing and I think people are misreading this.
- 31:16Speaker 4: This is my take. I could be wrong, but I
- 31:18Speaker 4: think people might be misreading this. And the fact that
- 31:21Speaker 4: what I think AI is going to do is we're
- 31:23Speaker 4: going to have to go through a weird, vulnerable time
- 31:28Speaker 4: where we do have to get rid of people because
- 31:30Speaker 4: wait a minute, these maintenance things we don't need you
- 31:33Speaker 4: for anymore. We have to create a new role for
- 31:35Speaker 4: you because now we can literally just take care of
- 31:38Speaker 4: all this maintenance for our business with AI, you know,
- 31:41Speaker 4: agentic ai, and we can even do some of these
- 31:44Speaker 4: other things we didn't realize. And so now instead of
- 31:47Speaker 4: you just maintaining our business, employee, we're going to create
- 31:51Speaker 4: a new role where you're going to grow our business.
- 31:53Speaker 4: And so, in other words, what's going to happen is
- 31:55Speaker 4: is that we have companies now that are like in video,
- 31:58Speaker 4: you know, it's five point five five trillion dollars in value,
- 32:02Speaker 4: and I never never thought i'd even see a company
- 32:04Speaker 4: that size. And now I'm beginning to realize that trillions
- 32:09Speaker 4: are the new are the new billions exactly, And we're
- 32:12Speaker 4: actually going to be in a time where we're going
- 32:14Speaker 4: to see expanding growth and expanding you know, market caps
- 32:18Speaker 4: and all of this because companies will no longer be
- 32:21Speaker 4: forced to take all of their human resources and maintain anything. Instead,
- 32:26Speaker 4: they're going to be able to use a gentic ai
- 32:28Speaker 4: to maintain, so employees will be able to grow the
- 32:31Speaker 4: business and make it bigger, and make it more powerful,
- 32:34Speaker 4: make it more fish. So so I think what we're
- 32:36Speaker 4: going to see is that right now. Sure, if you're
- 32:38Speaker 4: just getting out of college and you're trying to find
- 32:40Speaker 4: a job and you don't know AI, it might feel strange.
- 32:43Speaker 4: Of course it's weird, but just like just like through
- 32:46Speaker 4: every other innovation in the past, we saw railroads and
- 32:49Speaker 4: we said, oh, okay, well I guess this guy is
- 32:51Speaker 4: going to go out of business. Or we saw the
- 32:52Speaker 4: model T and say, well, I guess you know, horse
- 32:54Speaker 4: professionals are going to go out of business. Well, yeah,
- 32:56Speaker 4: maybe they will, but we're going to need car professionals.
- 32:59Speaker 4: You know, well, the internet's going out of business, so
- 33:02Speaker 4: I guess you know this or that will be going
- 33:03Speaker 4: well maybe so, but now we need internet profession So
- 33:06Speaker 4: in other words, we're in a place where I think
- 33:09Speaker 4: we're going to get to where you know, we're going
- 33:13Speaker 4: to have plenty of jobs, it's just they're going to
- 33:16Speaker 4: be different titles. And I think right now it's just
- 33:19Speaker 4: we feel the fear of the change, and that's driving
- 33:22Speaker 4: many of our decisions. But I think once we get
- 33:25Speaker 4: past that change, it could actually be a very bright world.
- 33:30Speaker 4: And so I'm very overall optimistic on what it could
- 33:33Speaker 4: mean for us.
- 33:34Speaker 3: You know, hey, I am like totally with you. The
- 33:39Speaker 3: world has no idea Like, hey, I drive a Tesla.
- 33:44Speaker 3: I've got the FSD.
- 33:45Speaker 2: All right.
- 33:47Speaker 3: The latest stats is that car is driving ninety six
- 33:51Speaker 3: percent of the time. I'm going to make an admission
- 33:54Speaker 3: here that probably get me locked up. I was going
- 33:57Speaker 3: from my house in northern Palm Beach County down to
- 34:02Speaker 3: Delay and we were the car is stuck in traffic,
- 34:05Speaker 3: and you know, I wear like heavy mirrored sunglasses so
- 34:09Speaker 3: the camera cannot see my eyes. I fell asleep behind
- 34:14Speaker 3: the wheel of the car for ten minutes, not totally asleep,
- 34:19Speaker 3: but literally not functioning asleep, kind of in the twilight zone.
- 34:25Speaker 3: And I only woke up when the car changed lanes
- 34:28Speaker 3: because we were at the exit.
- 34:30Speaker 2: All right, now, you're not.
- 34:31Speaker 3: Supposed to do this, no, but I know I've been.
- 34:34Speaker 3: I don't do this at home, children, I've driven, Yeah,
- 34:37Speaker 3: do not do this. No, I've driven thirteen thousand miles
- 34:42Speaker 3: on FSD, and like, I don't trust it with parking spaces.
- 34:46Speaker 3: I don't trust it in parking lots one hundred percent
- 34:49Speaker 3: mostly but not a hundred. I don't always trust it
- 34:53Speaker 3: making left turns into oncoming traffic, but what it's in
- 34:57Speaker 3: a lane on the highway, drives better than me.
- 35:01Speaker 2: Oh, and it done.
- 35:03Speaker 4: And how long have you been driving? I mean, you've
- 35:05Speaker 4: been driving for a long time and you're you probably
- 35:07Speaker 4: know you're a good driver. I picked up a Tesla,
- 35:10Speaker 4: drove it from Kansas City down to Kansas City down
- 35:15Speaker 4: to uh northwest Arkansas and never touched the steering wheel.
- 35:19Speaker 4: I mean, it never touched the steering wheel. And I'm
- 35:21Speaker 4: with you. I don't think people understand it. I don't
- 35:25Speaker 4: think people they don't know that it's here that they
- 35:27Speaker 4: don't know. Like literally, this car is a robot that
- 35:31Speaker 4: has nine cameras on it, that is so much smarter
- 35:35Speaker 4: than so much smarter than me. And when I see
- 35:38Speaker 4: it drive, I think, wow, that's exactly what I would do,
- 35:41Speaker 4: and that it did a little bit better than I
- 35:42Speaker 4: would have done it. So yeah, I see that. I'm
- 35:45Speaker 4: the same way with you. I don't mind it parking.
- 35:47Speaker 4: In fact, it did a great parallel park the other day,
- 35:51Speaker 4: working great, amazing and but yeah, I'm with you. Normally,
- 35:55Speaker 4: what I'll do is I'll leave it in self drive
- 35:57Speaker 4: full self driving until I get to my destination that
- 35:59Speaker 4: I take off in park or do what I want
- 36:01Speaker 4: to do, you know, because sometimes it takes you weird places.
- 36:03Speaker 4: But no, no, no, people don't know if you haven't
- 36:06Speaker 4: had that experience, if you haven't sat in the we
- 36:08Speaker 4: all take friends out and just let them see blows
- 36:11Speaker 4: their mind, which shows.
- 36:12Speaker 3: You how early we are.
- 36:13Speaker 4: It's so early. People don't People don't know they can
- 36:16Speaker 4: buy a robot that will drive them around. And when
- 36:18Speaker 4: you've been driving, like you or me for you know, decades,
- 36:21Speaker 4: you're like yours done.
- 36:22Speaker 2: Drive there you.
- 36:24Speaker 4: Go say I'm your fifty one. You say, I am
- 36:26Speaker 4: happy to let somebody else drive. Where's the show for?
- 36:29Speaker 2: You know?
- 36:29Speaker 4: I'm happy. So many people don't know that it's there.
- 36:33Speaker 4: And the car. I think the car costs me all
- 36:38Speaker 4: in around fifty something that fifty five, I ever get
- 36:41Speaker 4: what it was fifty three they're paying. Yeah, that's what
- 36:45Speaker 4: they're paying for cars today without this technology. So and
- 36:48Speaker 4: so to me, yeah, I think that's Uh. Tesla's got
- 36:52Speaker 4: a huge advantage there.
- 36:53Speaker 2: They're way ahead.
- 36:54Speaker 4: They'll be like ten billion miles now of full self.
- 36:56Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they got down, go ahead.
- 37:00Speaker 3: The other thing is like when we would buy cars,
- 37:02Speaker 3: and I've owned about sixty of them since I started driving,
- 37:07Speaker 3: about sixty cars. You know, as a car person, I'm
- 37:10Speaker 3: not anymore because I look at a Bentley, I look
- 37:13Speaker 3: at a Porsche, and it's an inferior product to my
- 37:18Speaker 3: fifty thousand dollars Tesla. These supercars set no kid a supercar.
- 37:22Speaker 3: But the amazing thing is that the day from the
- 37:27Speaker 3: day you bought that car, your Tesla, to now, it's
- 37:31Speaker 3: gotten better. And the good old days you bought an
- 37:35Speaker 3: internal combustion engine Richard, it's a Model three Performance twenty
- 37:40Speaker 3: twenty four and that thing moves, let me tell you,
- 37:43Speaker 3: it's gut wrench. But in the good old days you
- 37:46Speaker 3: bought an ice car. The best day of that car
- 37:48Speaker 3: is life was the day you drove it out of
- 37:50Speaker 3: the showroom, and then it was entropy. From that moment on,
- 37:55Speaker 3: it was deterioration. This car is better, substantially better than
- 38:00Speaker 3: the day I got it, not as witch. But you know,
- 38:04Speaker 3: we're not going to be a nation of drivers anymore.
- 38:07Speaker 3: And I people don't understand this. They really got to
- 38:11Speaker 3: understand that this is just AI.
- 38:14Speaker 2: And then you know.
- 38:15Speaker 3: You got the AI in your car, so you tell
- 38:17Speaker 3: it to hey, I want to make five stops, and
- 38:20Speaker 3: it programs it and the car makes five stops, and.
- 38:26Speaker 4: Then and then, and then you're driving around and letting
- 38:28Speaker 4: it drive you. And then you can pull up Grock
- 38:30Speaker 4: and say, hey, Grock, teach me something you know. So,
- 38:32Speaker 4: in other words, it's you can turn, you can turn
- 38:34Speaker 4: to commute into something that's very valuable practice.
- 38:37Speaker 3: Spanish, Well, I no show would be complete without me
- 38:41Speaker 3: plugging my book here America's great parking nice cover, nice
- 38:47Speaker 3: book cover.
- 38:48Speaker 2: You like that, You get the idea.
- 38:50Speaker 3: Every fricking parking sign in South Florida that I have
- 38:54Speaker 3: personally analyzed and now I'm putting on my lawyers at
- 38:58Speaker 3: violates the federal standards, and every state has to adopt
- 39:02Speaker 3: those federal standards. Every parking sign and the apps, they're
- 39:08Speaker 3: all harvesting data, minor data, geolocation data, and miners are
- 39:14Speaker 3: allowed to just download the app even though you're fifteen, sixteen,
- 39:18Speaker 3: seventeen years old. You don't have the capacity to enter
- 39:21Speaker 3: into a contract wave privacy rights, consent to data sharing,
- 39:28Speaker 3: consent to arbitration. No, most adults don't even have the capacity.
- 39:32Speaker 3: But a minor by law doesn't. So I'm in federal court.
- 39:37Speaker 3: I'm suing them. I've got thirteen administrative petitions in the
- 39:43Speaker 3: Florida Department of Transportation, the Florida CFO, and it's starting
- 39:49Speaker 3: to get interesting in our judge in the case is
- 39:53Speaker 3: Judge Eileen Cannon, the most famous judge who's not sitting
- 39:58Speaker 3: on the Supreme Court you could believe, and that right, Yeah,
- 40:02Speaker 3: it's doing six cities and towns in Florida and three
- 40:06Speaker 3: app companies. Anyway, I just want to throw that in.
- 40:10Speaker 3: Buy the book, help finance the lawsuit and everything else
- 40:13Speaker 3: I'm doing. But Jerry, like, we're in for something that
- 40:17Speaker 3: free quarters Maybe I would say as much as ninety
- 40:21Speaker 3: plus percent of humanity is totally unprepared for it. You
- 40:27Speaker 3: and I are prepared, but we're not really prepared. We
- 40:31Speaker 3: just see what things are going to be so much different,
- 40:35Speaker 3: but we don't really we aren't really prepared. We're just
- 40:39Speaker 3: early adopters. But the fact is, like you said, another
- 40:44Speaker 3: eighteen months, you will not recognize the world. Imagine everybody's
- 40:48Speaker 3: driving a self driving car. You don't need traffic lights anymore,
- 40:53Speaker 3: you don't need pavement markings, you don't need signs you
- 41:00Speaker 3: you don't have drivers. I mean, this is happening now,
- 41:05Speaker 3: and really humanity is completely unprepared, and I think a
- 41:09Speaker 3: lot of the dissatisfaction and a lot of the wars
- 41:12Speaker 3: and everything else is emanating from that mass uncertainty and
- 41:20Speaker 3: fear of the future.
- 41:23Speaker 2: You know, like oil, oil, Like we grew.
- 41:28Speaker 3: Up the oil industry, biggest industry in the world other
- 41:31Speaker 3: than the US government and its debt machine and war machine.
- 41:35Speaker 3: But oil like that is actually declining once the evs
- 41:41Speaker 3: start taking up huge chunks of the car market, which
- 41:46Speaker 3: they will, whether anyone wants to believe it or not,
- 41:49Speaker 3: the oil industry is dramatically changing. That's real reason why
- 41:53Speaker 3: they're closing refineries in California. Besides all the environmental stuff,
- 41:58Speaker 3: the marginal production, which is the most profitable, is what's
- 42:03Speaker 3: being eradicated now.
- 42:05Speaker 4: So and that's that's also that's also why the federal
- 42:09Speaker 4: government has been trying to stifle competition in the EV
- 42:12Speaker 4: space because they know that it's the United States has
- 42:16Speaker 4: finally climbed to the top of the heap on the
- 42:18Speaker 4: oil market. You know, it's like, well, you know, that's
- 42:21Speaker 4: great that you're there, but you know, but like you're
- 42:23Speaker 4: pointing out, it's we're on the decline. Now we're going
- 42:25Speaker 4: to be moving towards a world that's going to be
- 42:27Speaker 4: more diversified.
- 42:29Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 42:29Speaker 3: So, hey, well, I appreciate you coming on. Make sure everybody,
- 42:33Speaker 3: all of you out there, if you've got any questions,
- 42:36Speaker 3: pop them up now. We had like a lot of
- 42:41Speaker 3: a lot of feedback on the in the chat here.
- 42:44Speaker 3: We had over thirty people, thirty five people on the
- 42:47Speaker 3: chat at one point. So I really enjoy these live
- 42:52Speaker 3: streams when we get these, you know, topics that people
- 42:57Speaker 3: really really sink their teeth into. If you got any
- 43:03Speaker 3: stories about AI and here that clearly cited says analogies
- 43:09Speaker 3: of past disruptors like trains, cars, et cetera. Are not relevant,
- 43:14Speaker 3: like comparing Little League to Major because this is total change,
- 43:20Speaker 3: like total war, pathetic taxpayers funnel the money for the
- 43:24Speaker 3: ultimate human destruction. That's the downside, I mean. But on
- 43:30Speaker 3: the other side, it's like a large portion of humanity
- 43:33Speaker 3: hates their jobs, Jerry, right, Jerry, they do. They hate
- 43:37Speaker 3: getting up. Fortunately, I haven't had too many periods like
- 43:42Speaker 3: that in my life, and I don't think you've had
- 43:43Speaker 3: many in yours, either.
- 43:45Speaker 2: But we're the minority.
- 43:47Speaker 3: Is we get gratification, satisfaction besides.
- 43:51Speaker 2: Income from our work.
- 43:52Speaker 3: But so many of you out there are like hate
- 43:55Speaker 3: getting up and you know, dread the next day.
- 43:59Speaker 2: And that's a good thing either.
- 44:01Speaker 3: So if you're freed from that drudgery and that negativity
- 44:07Speaker 3: in your life, maybe you can find something that's going
- 44:09Speaker 3: to give you more meaning.
- 44:11Speaker 2: And yeah, so.
- 44:15Speaker 3: Here this one that's just funny, Trader and said so true.
- 44:19Speaker 3: But also we are working for some strange energy entity
- 44:24Speaker 3: being it's not us. So that's the ultimate conspiracy theory there.
- 44:31Speaker 3: And maybe it's not a theory at all. But we
- 44:33Speaker 3: appreciate all of you out there. If you got in
- 44:36Speaker 3: late replay, I'll get posted on the substack on the site.
