U.S.-Iran Reach Deal | Los Angeles Ranked Among Deadest Downtowns · The Bill Handel Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: AM six forty. Let's make a deal system fine, am
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: sixty Kurdy Bill Handle. Good morning everybody.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: It is a Monday morning, June fifteenth, and we have
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: a fair amount to talk about. On Friday, Elon Musk
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: became the world's first trillionaire. And I'm gonna tell you
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: a little bit about what a trillion dollars actually buys you.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: What is a trillion dollars? I'll jump into that. Got
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun stuff to talk about now. The
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: good news also obviously the international news. A huge news
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: yesterday was announced that the United States in Iran have
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: reached the deal to end the fighting and that's it,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: and the Straight of Horror Moves is going to be
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: opened up, ostensibly back to an international free waterway where
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: no one controls the waterway itself. There's still some talk
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: is Iran going to charge boats going through? Keep in
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: mind the Suez Canal, the other great waterway. It costs
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: a fortune for boats to go through that, for ships
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: to go through that. So I think it could very
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: well be that the Strait of Horror Moves is it.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: There may be a couple of other international free waterways. Anyway,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: we don't know what the terms of the deal are.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Nobody has released those, We don't have the exact language.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: We do know it's a limited deal.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Why because other than the Strait of Hormoz being opened
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: up and the festivities, or let me put it this way,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: the fighting between Iran and the US and Israel stop
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: is stopping. Other than that, everything is wide open. We
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: are basically back to where we were before the war started.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: And now it's thirty five billion dollars and thirteen lives later.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Here we are.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Accept that the Iranians have said, okay, we'll sit down
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: and we will discuss our nuclear capability. We will discuss
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: our ability to create a weapon. We will discuss the
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I don't even know if that's in the agreement, state
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: sponsor of terrorism all over the world. Keep in mind
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the Iran supports Resbollah, which is a terrorist organization. Also
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: we will discuss I'm assuming that is part and parcel
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: of it. Again, we haven't seen it. We don't know
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: what's in there. But you have the drones, you have
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: the ballistic missiles that we're dealing with. None of that
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: is mentioned. And then the end all be all about
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: nine hundred pounds of enriched uranium weapons grade uranium effectively,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: what's happening with that. We will discuss that is open
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: for negotiation over the next sixty days.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: The President said on.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Truth Socially yesterday, the deal with the Islamic public, if
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Iran is now complete, congratulations to all. And he said
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: that he has authorized the opening of the strait as
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: if Iran had nothing to do with it. That I guess,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: he said, finally I'm authorizing it. It's just really really strange.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: One of the things that was a make or break
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: was that Israel was going to stop, it was going
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: to stop engaging its fight with Lebanon. The President said
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: that Israel was stopping. News to Israel, Nattanyahu had no
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: idea that was coming down, and so he is scrambling.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: This is not a whole lot of something here that
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: was a make or break for Iran. By the way,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: is Israel has to stop, and Israel has not stopped,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: and the Iranians back down on that one.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: They backed down.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: So a lot of areas, most of the area is
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: the vast majority of areas are still being disagreed between
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: the Iranian and the US and are subject to further negotiations.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: We have no idea.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Also under negotiations are the sanctions that the United States
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: has placed on Iran and most of the rest of
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: the world due to the pressure the United States has
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: because it's still the economic juggernaut of the Western world.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: And we also the freezing, the unfreezing of assets. The
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: United States has billions, tens of billions of dollars sitting
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: in the US has frozen than those assets, which the
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Iranians wanted. And I think they had said, we're not
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: going to talk to you until We're not going to
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: sit down even until those assets are unfrozen, until the
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: sanctions are removed, and they backpedaled on that one because
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: and I think Trump is right, they really wanted a deal.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: But when you're dealing with Iranians, their deal and your
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: deal are very, very different. So keep in mind, the
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: vast majority of this is up in the air.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: We have now.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Originally, when we went to war, and I remember Marco
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Rubio saying, these are the four areas of which this
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: war is about, and we're not going to stop until
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: we get these four items. Regime change is one of them.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: By the way, the President has said there is regime
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: change there. I don't know where he gets that. And
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: that the new regime, the new government, if you will,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: the RGC, the Revolutionary Guard. He said they're more reasonable.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: They're not.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: It's exactly the opposite. They are less reasonable. There is
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: no regime change. As matter of fact, the regime has
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: become even more powerful. Also, the nuclear capability of Iran,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: now that's still on the table, by the way, because
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I think the President's going to call a victory and
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: said we have one on that one, even though negotiations
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: haven't panned out. The state state sponsor of terrorism that
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: was supposed to be one of them, nothing done.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: So there it all.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Boiled down to Iran having a nuclear weapon. That's what
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: it ended up. And there is no agreement asked to
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Iran having a nuclear weapon. That's not part of this
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: deal from what we understand. We'll see what the language
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: is when they release it. Yeah, I find it interesting
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: that neither side has released the terms of this. How
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: do you announce that we have a deal and the
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: terms have not been released. I don't get that, man,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I've never understood that one. So we'll see, and the
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: and both the Iranians and the administration are both going
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: to claim victory on this one. The president has said
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: that they will never build a nuclear weapon. They have
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: agreed to it. The Iranians have said, no, we haven't
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: agreed to it, and we've won. And the administration said,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: we've won, and everybody wins. My dad can beat up
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: your dad. And so we'll see signings ceremony in Switzerland
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: coming up. Although they're going to do it with Docu
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: sign I don't think they're doing it in person.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: It's weird. It's where the whole thing is weird.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: But the good news is stock the market has gone
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: way up. The price of oil has dropped dramatically. Now
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: the price of oil hasn't dropped the way you think
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: it is going to drop, because when we talk about
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: the twenty percent of the world's oil production going through
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: this Strait of Hormuz, really isn't that. There's actually a
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: lot of oil that's coming out of Iran. There's a
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: lot of oil that's coming out of Oman and the
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Emirates in different ways, so we're not talking about the
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: full twenty percent, So it's not going to be quite
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: as big a deal as we say.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: But Still it's a big deal.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is and then you have the issue
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: of who's going to unmine, you know, get rid of
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: the mines in the strait and insurance companies. Keep in
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: mind that these ships have to have insurance, and the
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: insurance companies aren't jumping on this.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: They're still up in the air. So there's still a
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: lot to figure out. All right.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: The survey that has just been completed, and it's a
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Gainstler City Pulse reports. What's called is twenty twenty six
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: City Pulse Report released this past week, and what it
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: says is La has one of the deadliest or deadest
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: downtown in the world.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Huh.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: And not the deadliest necessarily, although you go downtown and
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: you probably die anyway.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: But we're talking about as city center.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: That is just dead, just dead. So the other side
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: of dead is vibrancy. And either the seventy five of
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: the top cities around the world, La ranked right there
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: at the bottom for vibrancy. Sixty surveyed found that La vibrancy,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: well that's sixty five percent thought, yeah, we're vibrant, eighty
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: percent New York, Chicago and Sydney and Shanghai.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: More than eighty.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: And this consulting company that did the survey, Gunsler survey
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: thirty five thousand city restaurants, and here's what they found,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: or residents, here's what they found.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Downtown LA simply needs more people to.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Return to Downtown LA to work and shop and eat
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: if it wants to boost its scores. LA kind of
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: a central problem that's in that businesses have left La.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: We need to bring them off the offices back in
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: and it just ain't happening.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: There are pockets that are thriving, and local residents say
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: life is improving, improving, but they're very small pockets. The
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: basically downtown suffers from not only all of that, but
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: an image problem. And the image problem and how it's
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: perceived translates into businesses leaving, people not going there and
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: folks leaving that were there. Downtowns in general should have
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: a blend of shops, offices, housing, walkability, and they should
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: be cultural entertainment hubs. None of that is happening in
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Downtown LA. Fewer visitors, stores and restaurants struggling. The remaining ones.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: This is post pandemic and it's never come back. The
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: number of businesses leaving has increased over the past two years,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: and it is really tough. And so another factor dealing
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: with this is how long people linger downtown. Let's say
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: you go downtown. Let's say there's a great restaurant. There
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: are some pretty neat restaurants.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: You go in and go out. You're done. Now.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: In other places, you walk around, you enjoy. You go
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: up the street to maybe the ice cream shop that
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: doesn't exist downtown LA.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: It really doesn't.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: And if you go along Los Angeles Street, for example,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: or Broadway or Main after business hours, the place is dead.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: And what it is is a third world Latino community
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: is exactly what it is. You have the stores, they
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: are there for the weekend and they don't have storefronts.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: What they do is these little shops that hang clothes
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: on hangars on ropes that are that's over the door,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: and it's very inexpensive stuff and you basically buy just
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: basically junk is now for a lot of people. You know,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: one man's junk is another man's treasure. But it's not
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: a place that exudes vibrancy. And that's the whole thing.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: And LA is trying, But where do you go? I
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: mean to change the mindset of higher population and therefore
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: create a city center that people want.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: To come to. Go to Montreal, man do people go there? Down?
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Go to New York right, Go to Manhattan, which is
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: all downtown effectively. There there people walk and they shop
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: and they eat. It doesn't happen downtown La. So we've
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: got a ways to go if you live in downtown La. Well,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: if you live in downtown La. Oh. Also if you
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: go to any one of those streets at night or
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: on weekends, the trash is there, because again it really does.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Look like a third world country.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: The signs are all in Spanish in many, many parts
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: of downtown, and it just it's it's a different world.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: And what the those folks who have done this survey,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: and I'm assuming the City of Los Angeles wants to do,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: is turn it over. Change it to a downtown that
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: is vibrant, because that's the operative word.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: One of the thingsly to share this one with you
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: because we've been talking a lot about this and that
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: has to do with AI and when is AI going
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: to take over your job? And a lot of people
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: are sweating bullets. A lot of workers fear that the
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: machines are going to supplant them. But here is a
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: question where maybe machines at least up to now can't.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: How about this human and essential to career success. Does
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: AI replace those people?
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Ah?
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: There are workplace experts that say, with more people adopting
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: business or more businesses adopting AI tools, soft skills are
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: critical empathy, critical thinking, ethical decision making, and that helps
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: workers become indispensable and across industries, occupations all over the place,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: the skills that are most systant to displacement by AI
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: are the ones that are most distinctly human, and that's
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Maria Flynn, president and CEO of Jobs for the Future
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: nonprofit and some of those things are relationship building, conflict resolution,
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: the ability to guide and motivate people, ethical judgment. And
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: if you look at job listings for technical roles in
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: AI IT support, for example, look at what these companies
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: want candidates who communicate well and take leadership initiative. And
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: that's not just something you throw on a resume. This
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: is real stuff that you have to have. And we
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: started the term durable skills. Capabilities are really durable, according
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: to Maria Flynn, and these hold their value across economic shifts,
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: technological change, disruption.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: In the labor market.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Durable skills that make someone really valuable, regardless of whether
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: AI is part and parcel of the company. Interpreting body
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: language and reading between the lines. And that's one of
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: the downfalls of, for example, zoom calls. I mean they're
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: really efficient. You know, salespeople had to go out and
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: visit companies and visit locations. Now you just throw yourself
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: in front of a computer. But you don't get the intimacy,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: you don't get the body language, you don't get what
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: you had before. Now in many cases, is that outweighed
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: by the efficiency.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you still miss that.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: And a lot of these skills are only performed by humans.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: The ability to show empathy, Yeah, I really care being
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: sensitive to the feelings of others. This is why this
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: show is so successful, because of the sensitivity that I
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: show to people's feelings and empathy.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I have.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Sort of a contradiction in terms, is it, Neil, how
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: this show even stays on the air? I question that
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: every day, sir, I know, so do I?
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: I look in the mirror and go, how is this working?
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: And this is why I do so well when, for example,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: I'm out and about and people either recognize me or
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: I go to an event and here's my empathy and
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: it works. Bill, you have no business being on the radio.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Couldn't agree with you more, but.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: You actually could use some AI to be more empathetic.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: That's absolutely true.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: So personal ties with colleagues, clients, stakeholders actually are a
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: price skill that experts are saying that intelligence models AI
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: they have very difficult replicating. They actually can't. Now that's
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: as of right now, we don't know how smart machines
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: are going to be. The other thing that is really
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: hard to do is is conflict resolution.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: AI cannot do that.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: I mean they give you information, they can tell you
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: what should happen, what should not. But when there is
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: a human conflict, who straightens that out?
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Who builds on that? Well, it's people.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: And according to the direct director Analysts of Human Resources
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: at Gardner Consulting, one of the big nonprofits, she said
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: that to build the type of relationships that are needed
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: to expedite good work, this is critical. It's a must
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: have quality for managers and people still have managers and
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: managers and leaders impact the way people feel. Coworkers impact
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: the way we feel also, and there's a tone that
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: AI does to mimic human connection, but it really isn't
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: a bunch of workers feel a lot of them were
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: lurching from one difficulty to another.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: AI agents can't.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Help workers feel better about whether they are at work
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: or not, whether this is the right company.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Also, just having the skill level that you might have.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Let's see, you have deep knowledge in a field, you
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: take that knowledge and you use it in other ways
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: other than straight information. You can get information here it is.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: You can go to AI and figure that one out instantly.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: But the trust factor, the human aspect, the years of connection,
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: that doesn't exist. And so the bottom line is is
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: AI going to be taking over a lot of Yeah,
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: it is going to take over a lot of different
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: jobs for sure.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Elon Musk on Friday became the world's first trillionaire. Now
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: it's not like he has a trillion dollars in the bank.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: He does not, the vast, fast, fast, majority of effect.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: All of it is in stock and the companies that
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: he owns. But if you put all of that together,
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: there he is with a trillion dollars. Now, what is
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: a trillion dollars? What is a trillion in terms of
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: just numbers and you hear about and to the moon
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: to Pluto and back, and you know, we don't understand
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: that one.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: But let me give you a timeline with seconds.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, a million seconds goes back almost two weeks.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: A billion seconds.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Puts us back in the mid fifties and you can
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: watch leave it to Beaver for example, when it first
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: came out.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: So there's a billion.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Now a trillion seconds put you back in the ice age.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: If that gives you any idea of what a trillion is.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hard for us to wrap our head around.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: But I'm not going to do the dollar bills laid
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: end to end because everybody is that and we don't
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: understand that. But here's some numbers that you may appreciate.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: A trillion dollars gives everyone one hundred and twenty two
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: dollars for every person on the planet, one hundred and
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: twenty two dollars per person that are alive. It's double
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: the GDP of South Africa, the entire GDP gross domestic
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: product of South Africa. As a matter of fact, it
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: is more than the GDP of every country except maybe
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: twenty Can you imagine he is the twenty first.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Economy of a country.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: How many homes does a trillion dollars buy you? Well,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: with a nafical average of four hundred thousand dollars per home,
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: two and a half million homes, you can buy how
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: many gallons of gas at the average of four four
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: dollars to eleven cents two hundred and forty three billion
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: gallons of fuel? Now, keep in mind that all last
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: year the Americans that used were one hundred and thirty
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: seven billion gallons.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: This is two hundred and forty three billion.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: So that is twice as much as the gasoline that
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: was used by every American in the United States. Now
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: I'm going to finish up with a trillion versus his
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: buddies elon Musk's buddies. The second richest person in the
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: world is Larry Page, co founder of Google, is worth
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: almost three hundred billion. This as a Friday midday. Keep
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: in mind that when the stock goes up pennies, these
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: guys lose billions of dollars. I mean, it goes up
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: and down. So Larry Page worth almost three hundred billion.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: That's seven hundred billion under what Musk has. So if
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: you put four of the richest men in the world,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: fellow Google co founder Sergey Brinn.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: He's worth two hundred and seventy one.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Jeff Bezos, Oracle, Larry Ellison. He Musk has more money
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: than the four of them combined. I mean, it's just
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: and I don't think he has a house either. I
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: don't think he does because he's not into spending his money.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: That's not his thing. You know. Bezos rents the city
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: of Venice for his wedding and builds a five hundred
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: million dollar yacht, which is so ridiculously big it could
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: only it can only park itself the industrial ports where
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: the container ship ports are. I can't go into a
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: regular port. Well that's fun. Hey, let's go to a
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: container ship port. That makes a lot of sense. You
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: also have who else? Oracle, He's got one hundred and
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: two hundred million dollar yacht. These people live. Bill Gates
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: has one hundred million dollar a piece of property in Seattle.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: These guys live very very big. Elon Musk doesn't. He
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: just doesn't care. His thing is about.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: His vision, that's it. It's his vision.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: It was with SpaceX, it was with Tesla, it is
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: with his satellite system, it's with robotics.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: That's all.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: He cares about. He just doesn't care about the money part.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Interesting guy to say the least. Also crazy. I might
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: dad completely insane, but you know, there's insane and there's
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: insane all right.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Coming up.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: The big one is a little bit about the fact
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: that by next week we are going to have the
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: big earthquake equivalent to the nineteen oh six earthquake, and
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: we're all going to die. And I just want to
• 24:10
