- 0:27Speaker 2: Welcome. This is Financial Survival Network. I'm your host, Carrie Letz.
- 0:31Speaker 2: John Rabino is with us. John, it's been too long.
- 0:35Speaker 2: We have a lot to talk about. Well, at least
- 0:39Speaker 2: Cuba will be free soon. They might all be starving
- 0:42Speaker 2: to death, but they're going to be free one way
- 0:45Speaker 2: or the other. Right, Hey, Carrie, Yeah, it has been
- 0:48Speaker 2: too long. Let's make it not that long next time.
- 0:53Speaker 2: You know, I'm on the other side of this forever
- 0:55Speaker 2: war thing.
- 0:56Speaker 3: You know, I don't think Iran should have happened, and
- 0:59Speaker 3: now I'm just talking about taking over Cuba.
- 1:02Speaker 2: I wish we'd stop it. I can.
- 1:05Speaker 3: I can see the the argument that the outcomes will
- 1:08Speaker 3: be positive down the road. But man, you know, I
- 1:11Speaker 3: hate that there's a civil war now in the Maga
- 1:14Speaker 3: community because the original the Maga Ogs, you know, they
- 1:19Speaker 3: were anti war and trauma promised them no war. So
- 1:23Speaker 3: the Marjorie Taylor Greens and Thomas Massey and Tucker Carlson
- 1:27Speaker 3: and Tulsi Gabbart, you know, and now they're all they're
- 1:31Speaker 3: all kind of Trump's enemies now. So I'm hating that
- 1:34Speaker 3: dynamic because that was that was a dream team at
- 1:37Speaker 3: one point, you know, where you had Tucker Carlson and
- 1:40Speaker 3: Tulci Gabbard and the viag Ramaswami and and you know
- 1:44Speaker 3: three or four other guys who are just brocking, you know,
- 1:47Speaker 3: really good politicians, smart people, and they were all anti war,
- 1:52Speaker 3: and He's managed to antagonize almost all of them.
- 1:56Speaker 2: And I'm sorry about that. You know.
- 1:57Speaker 3: I hope all this stuff ends like the uh, the
- 2:00Speaker 3: war was almost over like three days ago, and now
- 2:04Speaker 3: it's back on again, and you know, hopefully it out yet.
- 2:08Speaker 3: And you know, because we're kind of under under the
- 2:11Speaker 3: clock now or on the clock now because midterm elections
- 2:14Speaker 3: are coming up and if they happened today, just based
- 2:19Speaker 3: on current polling, it would not go well for the Republicans.
- 2:21Speaker 3: So they know they've got to settle this stuff, get
- 2:25Speaker 3: gas prices down, and make the world placid for the
- 2:29Speaker 3: people who are going to go vote in November, and
- 2:31Speaker 3: there's not a lot of time left for that. So anyhow,
- 2:33Speaker 3: I'm long story or long answer to what could have
- 2:37Speaker 3: been simple question. But I hope we get all get
- 2:41Speaker 3: past all this stuff in a hurry and then go
- 2:43Speaker 3: back to quote unquote normal, which who knows, well if
- 2:48Speaker 3: you look.
- 2:49Speaker 2: Like you pulled the Maduro out of there. And basically
- 2:54Speaker 2: Marco Rubio is running Venezuela.
- 2:58Speaker 3: See Marco Rubio is one of the neocons who he
- 3:01Speaker 3: is at war with the old style Maga people. And
- 3:05Speaker 3: the neocons have won. You know, they've basically at the moment,
- 3:08Speaker 3: taken over Washington because the Democrats were always on board
- 3:12Speaker 3: for any kind of war that we could start, because
- 3:14Speaker 3: they're on the take from the military industrial complex, et cetera,
- 3:18Speaker 3: et cetera, so they you know, they are they make
- 3:24Speaker 3: money when there's war, so they're not really anti war
- 3:27Speaker 3: at all. And then the Republicans have traditionally been the
- 3:30Speaker 3: war party, you know, so most of those guys are
- 3:33Speaker 3: still hawks, and so now they're in charge. And you know,
- 3:39Speaker 3: for the people who voted for Trump because he was
- 3:41Speaker 3: anti war, this is not a happy outcome.
- 3:45Speaker 2: No, But on the other hand, I think Cuba is
- 3:50Speaker 2: going to fall literally any day. They've got disease running
- 3:54Speaker 2: through there. The US is going to have to go
- 3:56Speaker 2: in there, you know, because the disease is going to
- 4:00Speaker 2: read across the straits of Florida into the US. You know.
- 4:05Speaker 3: Well, you know, we could fix the whole Cuba thing
- 4:07Speaker 3: by being nice to them. If we just said, Okay,
- 4:10Speaker 3: you know, we're going to let Americans travel and invest
- 4:14Speaker 3: in you and everything, and let's you know, we'll give
- 4:17Speaker 3: you some foreign aid and help you get on your
- 4:20Speaker 3: feet and then we'll be friends. You know, they could
- 4:23Speaker 3: have totally done that, and in just another decade, let's
- 4:27Speaker 3: say after that, the communists would be gone, and it
- 4:30Speaker 3: would be like a Vietnam scenario where they were there
- 4:33Speaker 3: are bitter enemies until they won and we left, and
- 4:37Speaker 3: now they're a capitalist country.
- 4:38Speaker 2: So we got the way. Well, it's in Vietnam last summer,
- 4:44Speaker 2: remember I do remember that book, And they're like our
- 4:49Speaker 2: best friends. All of them want to come here. That's
- 4:52Speaker 2: what's funny. So all we had to do was leave
- 4:54Speaker 2: them alone. Yeah, brand you know.
- 4:59Speaker 3: Everybody, I mean, there's no country where the majority is
- 5:02Speaker 3: not a liberal capitalists. You know, everybody wants to start
- 5:06Speaker 3: their own business. Everybody wants to be free to live
- 5:09Speaker 3: their lives within reason and everything, and so politically they
- 5:14Speaker 3: usually come around to that if they're left alone instead
- 5:17Speaker 3: of tormented all the time.
- 5:19Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, these neocons just cannot leave it
- 5:24Speaker 2: well enough around and nothing ever happens fast enough for them,
- 5:28Speaker 2: so they're always causing trouble here, and this is what
- 5:33Speaker 2: we're left with.
- 5:34Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I think as soon as they said
- 5:36Speaker 3: Earli Wran, they will go into Cuba. You're right about
- 5:39Speaker 3: what's going to happen. I'm just saying, I'm sorry that
- 5:41Speaker 3: is going to go that way.
- 5:44Speaker 2: We've pushed Cuba over the edge and they aren't willing
- 5:48Speaker 2: to like give in at this point. But they're finished.
- 5:52Speaker 2: They're completely finished, the whole castro regime. They're like it's
- 5:58Speaker 2: over for them. There is no the people are They
- 6:02Speaker 2: can't ride in the streets, so what they do at
- 6:04Speaker 2: two in the morning is bank pots and pans, thousands
- 6:07Speaker 2: of them at once. And the whole place, you know,
- 6:10Speaker 2: having been there a couple of times ten years ago,
- 6:13Speaker 2: is just utter shambles. It's like everything is falling apart, collapsing.
- 6:18Speaker 2: So we just gave them a little push. They want
- 6:21Speaker 2: to blame it on the United States, they can, but
- 6:24Speaker 2: this was the path. Socialism always winds up this way.
- 6:28Speaker 2: You know, it's just convenient when you're right by the
- 6:31Speaker 2: United States and you can blame everything on the US.
- 6:34Speaker 2: But socialism always collapses.
- 6:38Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how socialist countries support themselves is they define
- 6:43Speaker 3: an evil enemy and they say, look, I'm the only
- 6:46Speaker 3: one standing in the way of the US doing whatever,
- 6:50Speaker 3: and so if we just didn't do whatever, you know,
- 6:52Speaker 3: if we were standing by to help instead of to invade,
- 6:57Speaker 3: then the you know, the authoritarian government would have a
- 7:00Speaker 3: lot harder time staying in power.
- 7:03Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, well it's that it's kind of like Judo,
- 7:09Speaker 2: you know, where you use your adversary's power against them
- 7:14Speaker 2: or taekwon do. Really, that's where you know, you're rushing
- 7:18Speaker 2: after the guy and he just like catches your thumb
- 7:21Speaker 2: and the next thing you know, you're sprawled out on
- 7:23Speaker 2: the floor in total agony. And that's what kind of
- 7:27Speaker 2: happens to the United States, rather than just allowing the
- 7:31Speaker 2: process to unfold. And uh yeah, so what the heck's
- 7:36Speaker 2: going on with precious metals? I Mean, we seem like
- 7:40Speaker 2: such a beatdown. I mean, in a way, it's not
- 7:43Speaker 2: really surprising, you know, it's just that how much longer
- 7:49Speaker 2: can the bleeding continue, especially when the debt continues to
- 7:53Speaker 2: go up, when uncertainty, all those situations in the world
- 7:59Speaker 2: you would think would lead to higher mental prices, and
- 8:03Speaker 2: yet we're seeing the opposite.
- 8:05Speaker 3: Well, yeah, it has been brutal. And here's how you
- 8:09Speaker 3: tell a brutal correction from a circular high secular high
- 8:16Speaker 3: that's going to go down for the next ten years.
- 8:19Speaker 3: In you know, when when things are changing in a
- 8:24Speaker 3: long term way, then the underlying fundamentals are changing. In
- 8:30Speaker 3: other words, you know, in the nineteen seventies, gold and
- 8:32Speaker 3: silver went way up. But how you could tell that
- 8:36Speaker 3: it was the end of the road in nineteen eighty
- 8:39Speaker 3: was that the government was raising interest rates aggressively to
- 8:43Speaker 3: counteract inflation. So in interest rates went up to double
- 8:46Speaker 3: digital levels and gold and silver crashed. So but that's
- 8:50Speaker 3: not happening now. Now, gold and silver had a really
- 8:53Speaker 3: nice run and they corrected. But the underlying problems that
- 8:57Speaker 3: we have, which is massive increases in government debt everywhere
- 9:01Speaker 3: where you look, and soaring interest costs on that debt.
- 9:06Speaker 3: Those things aren't changing at all. Those are embedded problems
- 9:10Speaker 3: that one are not going to change, and two are
- 9:13Speaker 3: going to force governments they're going to have no choice
- 9:16Speaker 3: but to inflate away their currencies to manage their debt costs.
- 9:21Speaker 3: So the fundamentals have not changed for gold and silver,
- 9:24Speaker 3: and we're still in a long term bal market, and
- 9:29Speaker 3: that means that we're getting close to an entry point here.
- 9:31Speaker 3: You know, I don't know what the bottom is in
- 9:33Speaker 3: this market, but we're probably getting pretty close to it.
- 9:37Speaker 3: And gold bugs ought to be looking at their favorite assets.
- 9:42Speaker 3: You know, which stocks would you like to add more
- 9:45Speaker 3: of than you know, what kind of gold and silver
- 9:48Speaker 3: physical do you want to continue to stack? Oh, by
- 9:52Speaker 3: the way, the stacking story is a separate one. That's
- 9:55Speaker 3: also really interesting because right now, if you go to
- 9:58Speaker 3: app mex or someplace like that to see what, for instance,
- 10:02Speaker 3: silver eagles are selling for, they're selling way over spot
- 10:08Speaker 3: price and they're offering to buy at way below spot price.
- 10:14Speaker 3: And the reason for that is that when when silver
- 10:17Speaker 3: in particular really spiked, a lot of people just went
- 10:20Speaker 3: and got their silverware and their jewelry, brought it in
- 10:23Speaker 3: and you know, they're yeah, so there was massive selling
- 10:26Speaker 3: coming out of the woodwork, and that's destabilizing the market
- 10:32Speaker 3: for the dealers, so they're kind of trying to calm
- 10:34Speaker 3: things down by widening their spreads. They'll pay less and
- 10:39Speaker 3: they'll offer less right now, and so that's really bad
- 10:45Speaker 3: if you're a stacker because you're trying to buy something
- 10:51Speaker 3: the price isn't favorable. You have to pay an extra
- 10:54Speaker 3: eight or ten dollars per ounce. But if you're a seller,
- 10:58Speaker 3: it's also not favorable because you go in and they're
- 11:01Speaker 3: offering you way below spot for your silver. So this
- 11:04Speaker 3: is just a bad time to be messing around with physical.
- 11:06Speaker 2: Well, that could be the best time, as we know
- 11:09Speaker 2: from the past when these type of anomaloust situations occur.
- 11:13Speaker 2: And in my special Living the Silver Back Lifestyle Report,
- 11:20Speaker 2: which for you Substack subscribers out there, it's available and
- 11:25Speaker 2: you just have to sign up, I actually cover how
- 11:29Speaker 2: you buy silver below spot regularly, consistently and with no risk,
- 11:37Speaker 2: and that is my proprietary eBay method where I can
- 11:42Speaker 2: pick out to this day, it doesn't matter how high
- 11:46Speaker 2: the price goes or how low, I can always find
- 11:49Speaker 2: you silver below spot right now, like the least desirable
- 11:55Speaker 2: silver are like war nickels. They're thirty five percent silver,
- 12:00Speaker 2: and the refiners hate them until they can't find any silver,
- 12:05Speaker 2: then they love them. And the same with forty percent
- 12:08Speaker 2: silver half dollars Kennedy halfs from sixty five to seventy,
- 12:14Speaker 2: I believe. But you don't have to buy them. You
- 12:17Speaker 2: can buy ninety percent junk silver, as we call it,
- 12:21Speaker 2: and still find it for ten to twenty percent below
- 12:25Speaker 2: spot value, which means that people selling it on eBay
- 12:29Speaker 2: it's costing them fifteen percent off the top to sell it.
- 12:33Speaker 2: They're really taking a beating, but they're getting a better
- 12:36Speaker 2: deal than in coin shops.
- 12:37Speaker 3: I guess yeah, you know, because one of the things
- 12:41Speaker 3: I use as a tagline on substack is keep stacking,
- 12:45Speaker 3: you know, because people should be just gradually adding to
- 12:48Speaker 3: their physical hordes out there. But this is just a
- 12:52Speaker 3: tough time for it because you can't. It's not as
- 12:54Speaker 3: simple to do now, because you can't just go into
- 12:56Speaker 3: a coin dealer and pick up cheap ounces or get
- 13:01Speaker 3: a good price on what you want to say. You
- 13:03Speaker 3: just can't do that now, and I'm glad there are
- 13:06Speaker 3: some tricks that work.
- 13:07Speaker 2: You know.
- 13:07Speaker 3: I inherited a big bag of junksilver. But I've never
- 13:10Speaker 3: known what to do with, you know, because you have
- 13:12Speaker 3: to make that ninety percent calculation to figure out what
- 13:15Speaker 3: you've really got, and I'm inherently too lazy to do that.
- 13:20Speaker 2: But it's actually there's a website that will do it
- 13:24Speaker 2: for you, jah called owningflation dot com. And if you're
- 13:30Speaker 2: dealing with ninety percent, it will tell you how much
- 13:35Speaker 2: the melth value of the silver per dollar is worth.
- 13:40Speaker 2: You know, I haven't looked at it lately. It was
- 13:42Speaker 2: up to seventy something dollars per space. It's probably in
- 13:48Speaker 2: the fifty sixty range right now. Maybe it's less. I
- 13:51Speaker 2: don't know, Like I could take a look at it
- 13:53Speaker 2: here and so coin coionflation dot com. And of course
- 14:01Speaker 2: it tells me a block because I have a VPN,
- 14:04Speaker 2: and it doesn't like that I use a VPN in
- 14:07Speaker 2: any event, to just go there, don't use your VPN.
- 14:11Speaker 2: And highly highly recommended because it gives the value of
- 14:16Speaker 2: every silver coin ever minted in the world. And like
- 14:20Speaker 2: in Canada they had eighty percent junk. In Mexico they
- 14:24Speaker 2: had their own thing, and from there you can tell
- 14:28Speaker 2: it's a very simple calculation.
- 14:31Speaker 3: And yeah, but then you still have to find a
- 14:34Speaker 3: dealer willing to give you that price.
- 14:37Speaker 2: You can, you can probably ten to fifteen percent below
- 14:43Speaker 2: spot is what they're going to offer you. But that
- 14:46Speaker 2: can change so fast. And nothing has changed the fact
- 14:49Speaker 2: that we have an underlying shortage deficit of silver where
- 14:55Speaker 2: we're consuming way more. And just today I heard that
- 14:59Speaker 2: Elon Musk is building in Houston, of all places, the
- 15:02Speaker 2: mother of all uh uh, what do you call it?
- 15:07Speaker 2: The solar panel factories, the biggest in the world. And
- 15:13Speaker 2: guess what, guess what you need for that? Right, that's
- 15:16Speaker 2: what you can do without, right.
- 15:20Speaker 3: And and you know, Toyota just announced a solid state
- 15:23Speaker 3: EV battery that has phenomenal specs. You know, it goes
- 15:28Speaker 3: a really long way on a five minute charge, et cetera,
- 15:31Speaker 3: et cetera. And most of the solid state battery formulas
- 15:37Speaker 3: that are emerging now use silver, use more silver than
- 15:42Speaker 3: any v with solid state battery. So that's another thing.
- 15:46Speaker 3: So anyhow, the supply demand equation for silver is still good.
- 15:51Speaker 3: You know, it's still a good story. And see that
- 15:54Speaker 3: that's what you have to keep in mind during a correction,
- 15:59Speaker 3: is okay? Is this stories still intact? And the supply
- 16:02Speaker 3: story for silver is definitely still intact, and the dollar
- 16:08Speaker 3: debasement story for big governments that's intact too. So yeah,
- 16:12Speaker 3: so you know, at some point I'm putting in little
- 16:14Speaker 3: ball bids on some of the better silver stocks now
- 16:17Speaker 3: and gold miners and getting hit with some of them,
- 16:21Speaker 3: but not yet with some other ones. So I'd be
- 16:24Speaker 3: okay with another bad couple of weeks in order to
- 16:27Speaker 3: get those low ball bids hit, but beyond that it
- 16:30Speaker 3: needs to start going back up.
- 16:32Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, And another thing many of you aren't aware
- 16:37Speaker 2: of out there the US is having an infrastructure boom.
- 16:40Speaker 2: There are more like mega projects, all obviously being financed
- 16:45Speaker 2: with debt that will never get paid back. That's a
- 16:47Speaker 2: different story. But every mega project requires some silver. You know,
- 16:53Speaker 2: whether it's wiring and buildings or you know, electronics, whatever
- 16:59Speaker 2: it is, all runs on silver. So the mega project boom,
- 17:04Speaker 2: like every airport you go to in the country now
- 17:08Speaker 2: is going through this massive expansion. Dallas, JFK, even Miami,
- 17:14Speaker 2: the worst airport in the country arguably Lax, all going
- 17:21Speaker 2: through these massive expansions, and silver is at the core.
- 17:25Speaker 2: It's not a lot of silver, but you know, maybe
- 17:27Speaker 2: it's ten thousand ounces that were needed for all the
- 17:31Speaker 2: electrical stuff there. It's all going to add up.
- 17:35Speaker 3: So yeah, interesting, No, it is definitely going to add up,
- 17:40Speaker 3: and we will eventually run out of above ground stocks
- 17:44Speaker 3: of silver, and then then we'll have the parabolic run.
- 17:48Speaker 3: And so the question is what do we want to
- 17:50Speaker 3: do with this correction? And I would say keep adding.
- 17:55Speaker 3: You know, now it's on sale, so keep dollar cost averaging,
- 17:59Speaker 3: use low all bid, see what happens, and then at
- 18:01Speaker 3: some point it turns.
- 18:02Speaker 2: Around exactly exactly. Ay, So we haven't talked since SpaceX
- 18:09Speaker 2: did its thing, and we haven't talked about AI in
- 18:13Speaker 2: quite a while. Now they're going to put AI data
- 18:17Speaker 2: centers up in space, and man, we're going to Mars.
- 18:23Speaker 2: I don't know where we're not going, but we're going
- 18:25Speaker 2: all over the place here. And even though like the
- 18:30Speaker 2: economy shot, everything's crazy, you know, we're moving ahead to
- 18:36Speaker 2: some extent. Whether AI is going to enslave us all
- 18:39Speaker 2: in the long run, which I have my concerns about,
- 18:44Speaker 2: or just decide that we're completely unnecessary and taking up
- 18:49Speaker 2: valuable resources on the planet and we need to be eliminated,
- 18:53Speaker 2: I don't know what the answer is. John but I
- 18:56Speaker 2: do know that this is a period of time where
- 19:00Speaker 2: more advancements are going to take place and more revolutionary innovations.
- 19:07Speaker 2: Whether they're good or not, I'm not saying, but this
- 19:10Speaker 2: is what's happening now.
- 19:13Speaker 3: You know what, wouldn't it be amazing if with all
- 19:17Speaker 3: the troubles that we have right now, a decade from now,
- 19:20Speaker 3: it's like the Jetsons, you know, flying cars, robot maids.
- 19:24Speaker 2: Things like that.
- 19:25Speaker 3: You know, those things are absolutely coming. So it's going
- 19:29Speaker 3: to be really interesting to see if the problems that
- 19:32Speaker 3: we have, you know, massive government debt, gigantic financial crisis,
- 19:35Speaker 3: on the way AI stock, bubble dustin the burst, you know,
- 19:39Speaker 3: all of those things are true also, So it's going
- 19:42Speaker 3: to be interesting to see how we get through the
- 19:46Speaker 3: inevitable problems that come from our past mistakes and see
- 19:49Speaker 3: if we come out on the other side in technologically
- 19:53Speaker 3: good shape. You know, we can hope, because that would
- 19:56Speaker 3: be a very cool future if it worked out that way.
- 19:59Speaker 2: Yes, I certainly would, and we can only hope that
- 20:05Speaker 2: it's for the better, certainly health wise. You can see,
- 20:10Speaker 2: you can already see effects start streaming in even when
- 20:15Speaker 2: you're like trying to figure out what's wrong with you yourself?
- 20:19Speaker 2: You know, the AI can really help. I wouldn't say
- 20:22Speaker 2: it's a substitute for a doctor, hardly not saying that.
- 20:25Speaker 2: I'm just saying that, really it's it's changing everything the
- 20:32Speaker 2: way we know it, even like self driving vehicles, like
- 20:36Speaker 2: in my Tesla, it's now driving ninety six percent of
- 20:39Speaker 2: the time, and literally I am along for the ride,
- 20:43Speaker 2: and I will admit I've actually dozed off a couple
- 20:46Speaker 2: of times and it didn't notice, it didn't seem to
- 20:50Speaker 2: care that I You know, I was in traffic on
- 20:54Speaker 2: ninety five and we're barely creeping along and I just
- 20:58Speaker 2: closed my eyes for a minute or maybe less, and
- 21:03Speaker 2: no problem. So just that when you can like be
- 21:08Speaker 2: stopped driving though the robotaxis, they're just out on the horizon.
- 21:14Speaker 2: One or two software releases, they're going to be out there,
- 21:18Speaker 2: and then you know, this is like nothing we've ever
- 21:21Speaker 2: encountered before, the all degree of driving. If you have.
- 21:26Speaker 2: I used to have an hour and fifteen minute drive
- 21:29Speaker 2: from where I lived in Westchester County to Lower Manhattan.
- 21:33Speaker 2: It was horrible. If I left at six thirty, I
- 21:37Speaker 2: could get there in forty five minutes. If I left
- 21:39Speaker 2: at seven. I got there at eight thirty in an
- 21:43Speaker 2: hour and a half, so there was no good time
- 21:45Speaker 2: to leave. And now, like, you'll be able to be
- 21:50Speaker 2: able to work and you could have zoom calls and
- 21:53Speaker 2: you could do podcasts, you could listen to them. You
- 21:56Speaker 2: could be watching youtubees. I mean, you could be trading
- 22:00Speaker 2: in your car for that matter, if you have enough monitors. Right,
- 22:03Speaker 2: And it's going to change everything, well.
- 22:07Speaker 3: Yeah, technology creates basically servants that rich people used to
- 22:13Speaker 3: be able to or can curl any for. Like, you
- 22:15Speaker 3: can have a driver if you're a Risch car do
- 22:18Speaker 3: this stuff. But everybody who can't afford a driver will
- 22:22Speaker 3: soon get the equivalent of a human driver with a
- 22:26Speaker 3: self driving car. So all of a sudden you're living
- 22:28Speaker 3: the rich person life, you know, at least in that
- 22:31Speaker 3: aspect where you can work or sleep. I still can't
- 22:34Speaker 3: get over till you sleep in your car on in
- 22:37Speaker 3: Florida traffic. It gives me a little stomach ache just
- 22:40Speaker 3: thinking about that.
- 22:42Speaker 2: It's that I didn't do it for a prolonged period
- 22:45Speaker 2: of time. I literally just that's how much I trusted.
- 22:48Speaker 2: I close my eyes.
- 22:49Speaker 3: Okay, good, Just don't make a habit of that. I
- 22:52Speaker 3: don't want to see what happens.
- 22:54Speaker 2: Since the high tech versions, the really advanced versions come out.
- 22:58Speaker 2: I've traveled over fifteen thousand miles in full self driving,
- 23:03Speaker 2: so you know, like it's not a habit I want
- 23:06Speaker 2: to get into. And probably you know, there's people listening
- 23:10Speaker 2: think I should be locked up, But that's how good
- 23:13Speaker 2: it is. So you know, what can I say? It
- 23:18Speaker 2: is definitely coming. I mean.
- 23:22Speaker 3: The way that self driving has progressed in just the
- 23:25Speaker 3: last few years kind of implies that it's going to
- 23:28Speaker 3: be almost fool proof, you know, in another few years.
- 23:31Speaker 3: So that is coming. I just you know, personally, I
- 23:35Speaker 3: want to wait until it's perfected completely before I trust it.
- 23:40Speaker 3: But you know, you're trustling it and it's working for you.
- 23:44Speaker 2: It's we're that close. That's the great thing. And you know,
- 23:49Speaker 2: it's it's really been the amazing experience, you know, having
- 23:55Speaker 2: driven so much myself before there was full self driving.
- 23:59Speaker 2: Now I get into a a and I actually have
- 24:01Speaker 2: to drive it and I have to like kind of
- 24:03Speaker 2: remember what I'm doing here. So and you know, the
- 24:08Speaker 2: whole concept of education written about this, you have two
- 24:13Speaker 2: like educations totally lipped. Now it's going to shortly, there's
- 24:19Speaker 2: just the ability to tell our learning to the individual
- 24:23Speaker 2: rather than tailing tailoring it to the middle. So the
- 24:27Speaker 2: kids who are slow they get screwed, and the kids
- 24:30Speaker 2: who are fast learners they get screwed, and the hypothetical middle.
- 24:35Speaker 2: That's what education is geared towards. And yeah, they have advanced,
- 24:41Speaker 2: you know, courses for the fast learners and remedial but
- 24:46Speaker 2: the whole system is a mess. It stopped working a
- 24:49Speaker 2: long time ago. So maybe there's some hope there that
- 24:52Speaker 2: we get back, we recapture education as a priority and
- 24:59Speaker 2: that can really adapt to the individual learner, which it
- 25:04Speaker 2: can't right now.
- 25:05Speaker 3: Yeah, the potential for individualized education is exciting, and the
- 25:13Speaker 3: risk of kids just completely depending on AI and never
- 25:18Speaker 3: learning how to do anything themselves is scary. So we
- 25:21Speaker 3: have to figure out how to get the good without
- 25:23Speaker 3: the bad. And you know, we'll see that can be
- 25:27Speaker 3: a free market thing, where charter schools just figure out
- 25:32Speaker 3: how to do it and then everybody else adopts those
- 25:35Speaker 3: ghost practices.
- 25:36Speaker 2: We'll have to see, but I hope that's the way
- 25:37Speaker 2: it works out. Hey, And no interview would be complete
- 25:44Speaker 2: without me pushing my latest book just came out here,
- 25:48Speaker 2: the All News Speeder's Guide to Avoiding Tickets. It's fifty
- 25:52Speaker 2: years of fifty plus years worth of driving experience. I've

- 26:05Speaker 2: and I've just added to that, gone into technology, psychological
- 26:11Speaker 2: ways to handle a stop, and also courtroom strategies adjourn
- 26:17Speaker 2: adjourn adjourn, especially if it's a state trooper involved, because
- 26:21Speaker 2: there's a good chance he won't be there. You can
