00:00:00
all right y'all welcome to the show got
00:00:01
a lot of stuff to dive into today so in
00:00:03
just a second we have a dire warning
00:00:05
that was laid out on both CNN and MSNBC
00:00:09
by an NYU Professor lot to say about
00:00:12
that we have uh my boy Stephen A Smith
00:00:16
is officially snuggling up to Maga more
00:00:19
and more as the days go by that's that's
00:00:22
pretty sad uh we'll get to medy Hassan
00:00:24
repeatedly pounding Piers Morgan over
00:00:27
and over again in a beautiful clip uh
00:00:29
then later on mag's Greenland scam is
00:00:32
officially busted you have a British
00:00:35
journalist who mercilessly destroys Elon
00:00:38
Musk and uh Joe Rogan's fans have turned
00:00:42
on him they've turned on him this has
00:00:44
got to be the 14th time they've turned
00:00:46
on him within the past few years but
00:00:48

00:01:17
sponsors or corporations or billionaires
00:01:19
or foreign governments uh it's you guys
00:01:21
in the default YouTube ads that's how we
00:01:23
fund the show very proud of that fact
00:01:24
all right so let's go ahead and dive
00:01:27
into it so there's a professor at NYU by
00:01:29
the name of Scott Galloway and he's been
00:01:30
making the rounds on uh CNN and MSNBC
00:01:34
and he's been sounding the alarm he's
00:01:36
been sounding the alarm he's uh given us
00:01:38
a dire warning here let's listen a lot
00:01:40
of these Tech billionaires are kind of
00:01:42
following or trying to play catch up I
00:01:44
guess with Elon Musk and making inroads
00:01:46
with the new Administration the best
00:01:47
trade of 2024 was Elon Musk put $250
00:01:50
million into the Trump campaign and
00:01:53
since then the value of his companies
00:01:55
and his stake in those companies is up
00:01:56
by about $140 billion so that's about a
00:01:59
5,000 600% return not that's not any
00:02:02
change in the the in Tesla in the output
00:02:05
nothing to do with the company right
00:02:07
nothing to do with their operating
00:02:08
margins their Innovation their sales
00:02:10
it's based on a general assumption that
00:02:12
America has become a full kleptocracy
00:02:14
like Russia that the largest deepest
00:02:16
pocketed customer in the history of our
00:02:18
modern economy the US government will
00:02:20
effectively is now or effectively is now
00:02:21
pay to play and will Shuffle contracts
00:02:23
monies and impose regulatory punishment
00:02:26
on the competitors to the companies who
00:02:28
do not invest in the Republican party or
00:02:31
in his inaugural campaign is evidenced
00:02:32
by the fact that very few of these Tech
00:02:34
Executives invested in the inaugural
00:02:36
campaign fund for Biden and they are all
00:02:38
doing it for Trump in other
00:02:40
words um that's how and why Elon Musk is
00:02:44
now the richest man in the world by far
00:02:47
what he just described right there that
00:02:50
this is irrational Market hype uh based
00:02:53
on the fact that people know Elon is
00:02:55
snuggled up to power snuggled up
00:02:57
directly to
00:02:58
Trump has a direct line not only to
00:03:00
Trump but also to the Republican party
00:03:02
which is the governing party this is the
00:03:05
recognition that okay you win right so
00:03:09
give him more money give him more power
00:03:12
and anybody who bends the knee and
00:03:14
kisses the Ring of Maga is going to get
00:03:17
that same treatment this is complete and
00:03:20
utter oligarchy kleptocracy now it's out
00:03:22
in the open we've been in oligarchy for
00:03:25
a while but back in the day there was u
00:03:28
a veneer over it right this veneer of
00:03:32
democracy and capitalism now that veneer
00:03:35
is gone now it's all out in the open and
00:03:38
you have the world's richest man uh
00:03:40
helping to direct policy in this country
00:03:43
Gone full kleptocrat and if you don't
00:03:45
think this is this hurts everyone this
00:03:46
raises prices and for the little guy or
00:03:49
the companies that don't want to engage
00:03:50
in this type of payer playay uh it hurts
00:03:52
them this will increase prices and
00:03:54
weaken our democracy this is absolutely
00:03:56
no different than how Putin became the
00:03:58
wealthiest man in the world you think
00:04:00
this is a long-term change in the
00:04:01
political direction of these tech
00:04:02
companies or would they shift course
00:04:03
when the president elect leaves office
00:04:05
yeah yeah absolutely I mean there's two
00:04:06
things going on here this is good for
00:04:07
shareholder value for meta to not have
00:04:09
to live up to the standards of
00:04:09
traditional media companies news core
00:04:12
decided to uh circulate misinformation
00:04:14
around Dominion voting machines despite
00:04:15
the fact they knew that was false
00:04:16
information they were sued because it
00:04:18
resulted in economic harm against
00:04:20
dominion and they were punished to the
00:04:21
tune of about three quarters of a
00:04:22
billion dollarss what happened at
00:04:23
newscore on Fox was a dumpster fire
00:04:25
compared to the nuclear mushroom cloud
00:04:26
of what took place on meta yet meta is
00:04:28
immune so what you have is these
00:04:30
companies that are circulating or kind
00:04:31
of a misinformation La laaloa quite
00:04:33
frankly are just running away with it in
00:04:34
terms of profitability in terms of
00:04:36
shareholder value so they're totally
00:04:38
driven by shareholder value they're
00:04:39
doing their job we're not doing our job
00:04:41
in terms of electing representatives who
00:04:42
have the backbone to stand up to
00:04:44
attempts to weaponize the government and
00:04:45
still believe in a democratic America
00:04:48
where there's competition where
00:04:50
misinformation where a lack of Truth a
00:04:52
lack of trust in our institutions remain
00:04:54
pillars of our society that seems to be
00:04:56
that seems to be eroding but they will
00:04:57
they will go where the puck goes and is
00:04:59
whatever increases the value of their
00:05:01
shares and that's why you keep seeing
00:05:03
all of these Robber Baron billionaires
00:05:05
one after the other after the other
00:05:07
bending the knee bending the knee making
00:05:10
the Trek to maral Lago and giving Trump
00:05:13
million dooll checks for his
00:05:15
inauguration that's why you're seeing
00:05:17
that it's pay to playay it's hey keep
00:05:20
the corporate welfare coming keep the
00:05:21
subsidies and government checks coming
00:05:24
keep the tax cuts and the deregulation
00:05:27
coming uh and we will be your servants
00:05:30
we will be your servants all right but
00:05:32
he's not done yet he's got more for us
00:05:34
so here's Scott Galloway this time on
00:05:37
MSNBC and this is for Morning Joe this
00:05:40
is a massive truth bomb here we go once
00:05:42
you get above a certain level of wealth
00:05:44
you get no incremental happiness so why
00:05:46
on Earth would you not go back to a tax
00:05:49
policy of the 60s 70s and 80s where say
00:05:53
above pick a big number 10 million you
00:05:55
actually pay more than 10% maybe more
00:05:57
than 20% maybe more than 50% because the
00:06:00
difference between 30,000 a year for a
00:06:02
household and 50,000 is enormous to the
00:06:05
well-being of that household low-income
00:06:07
kids and low-income households have
00:06:09
higher resting blood pressure but the
00:06:11
difference between making 10 million a
00:06:13
year and 15 million a year offers you no
00:06:15
happiness but these individuals have
00:06:18
weaponized government and we risk
00:06:19
Revolution whether it's CEOs being
00:06:21
murdered in the street whether it's a me
00:06:24
too movement that had righteous
00:06:25
components of it or black lives matter
00:06:28
what are these movements they are
00:06:30
targeting the wealthy we are in the
00:06:32
midst of a series of small revolutions
00:06:35
to correct income inequality and the
00:06:36
reason we put an insurrectionist and a
00:06:38
rapist in office is because For the
00:06:41
First Time in our nation's history a
00:06:43
30-year-old man or woman isn't doing as
00:06:45
well as his or per his or her parents
00:06:47
were at 30 why because the majority of
00:06:49
households are having the oxygen sh
00:06:52
sucked out of the room such that a small
00:06:54
number of individuals and a small number
00:06:57
of companies can be worth more than
00:06:59
Nation States income inequality is out
00:07:02
of control our tax policy has gone full
00:07:06
oligarch that room is not ready for that
00:07:08
for those kinds of Truth bombs that room
00:07:10
is not prepared for that cuz these are
00:07:13
all uh you know good little loyal uh
00:07:17
servants to The Establishment and to the
00:07:19
donor class that that's
00:07:21
exactly who's in that room right now so
00:07:24
you could tell they're they're a little
00:07:26
bit like whoa whoa dog what the hell we
00:07:28
were not expecting all that so I
00:07:30
actually have a slight disagreement with
00:07:32
him there um I think that the anger that
00:07:35
you're going to see bubbling up and
00:07:37
boiling over I think that that
00:07:39
anger is uh going to appear more
00:07:42
scattershot going to appear more random
00:07:44
going to appear more uh disconnected
00:07:48
from any particular issue right because
00:07:51
in this country we don't have uh in
00:07:53
awakened class Consciousness right and
00:07:56
that's why you see the pendulum swing
00:07:58
from the left to the right you see Obama
00:08:01
winning and you see Trump winning and
00:08:02
then you see Biden winning you see Trump
00:08:04
winning again the consistent part of
00:08:07
every election is change people want big
00:08:10
change and they don't know where to go
00:08:12
to get that big change right Bernie
00:08:14
offered it but he wasn't able to become
00:08:16
president and now we're dealing with the
00:08:19
fall out of that we're dealing with the
00:08:20
consequences of that and now between
00:08:22
witnessing firsthand climate collapse
00:08:24
which is happening right in front of us
00:08:26
witnessing the absolute implosion of our
00:08:29
institutions which I now think you could
00:08:31
argue is complete after January 6th and
00:08:33
the fake elector slate and Trump's 91
00:08:36
criminal charges and the Supreme Court
00:08:38
basically granting him full immunity and
00:08:39
now him coming back in charge um the
00:08:43
George Floyd protests were really just
00:08:45
the be Occupy Wall Street was just the
00:08:47
beginning the George Floyd protests were
00:08:49
just the beginning um I think you are
00:08:51
going to see real strife and I I also
00:08:55
happen to think we're in the biggest uh
00:08:57
market bubble in the history of our
00:08:59
economy worse than 1929 we're going to
00:09:01
talk about that in the future with Ben
00:09:02
Norton on crystal kyin friends but the
00:09:05
bubble is colossal and as soon as that
00:09:06
Bubble Burst you're talking about real
00:09:09
pain and Devastation the likes of which
00:09:11
we haven't seen since arguably 1929 in
00:09:13
the Great Depression that's what we're
00:09:15
looking at and the problem is yes people
00:09:18
feel like they're not getting a fair
00:09:19
shot people feel feel like the system
00:09:21
doesn't make sense but that has not been
00:09:24
harnessed in a positive direction yet so
00:09:26
when you see a Fallout occur when you
00:09:29
see violence in the streets when you see
00:09:32
protests and riots when you see the
00:09:34
collapse of social order it's not going
00:09:37
to be as nice and neat as we would all
00:09:41
like to think it's not going to be as
00:09:43
organized as say the Civil Rights
00:09:45
Movement was where they're all out there
00:09:47
protesting the Million Man March and
00:09:49
they have clear goals and they have a
00:09:51
clear reason for being out there and
00:09:52
clear policy aims we are not going to
00:09:55
see that I mean it's on us to give it
00:09:58
direction to give it order to give it
00:10:00
clear policy goals right Universal basic
00:10:03
income 4day Work Week Universal Health
00:10:05
Care for everybody higher wages right to
00:10:07
a union Etc it's on us to do that but
00:10:11
it's just going to look like chaos it's
00:10:12
just going to look like Mayhem it's just
00:10:14
going to look like social collapse it's
00:10:16
just going to look like everything's
00:10:17
falling apart I mean you tell me we're
00:10:19
seeing some of it right now with the
00:10:20
climate collapse as to what's happening
00:10:22
in La does it look orderly does it look
00:10:25
like uh people are make connecting the
00:10:28
right dots I mean the reality is is this
00:10:29
is all because of climate change but you
00:10:30
don't see that that's the initial
00:10:32
reaction you just see people like their
00:10:34
lives being turned upside down not
00:10:36
knowing what to do not knowing where to
00:10:38
go not knowing where the leaders are
00:10:41
that's what we're witnessing but he's
00:10:42
given a dire warning basically what he's
00:10:43
saying is like this is what FDR said
00:10:45
back in the day he was like all right
00:10:48
wealthy Rober Barons here's the deal you
00:10:50
could deal with me or you could deal
00:10:51
with the people with pitchforks that are
00:10:53
coming right down the road behind me if
00:10:55
you don't listen to me and so it's time
00:10:57
to give up some of that money it's it's
00:10:59
time for me to raise your taxes it's
00:11:01
time for you to uh reinvest that money
00:11:04
into jobs programs shovel ready projects
00:11:06
the new deal it's time to give people a
00:11:09
fair shot because if you don't give
00:11:11
people a fair shot under American
00:11:13
capitalism there will be a Communist
00:11:16
Revolution that's the argument he made
00:11:18
and he was able to effectively save
00:11:20
capitalism by moving us towards social
00:11:22
democracy and giving people dignity
00:11:25
giving people a job giving people a
00:11:27
chance right but we don't have that of
00:11:30
that same ideological framework just
00:11:32
waiting for the moment the collapse
00:11:34
happens anymore right there is no
00:11:37
organized left in America today and so
00:11:39
God bless this guy for going out there
00:11:41
and saying look man you guys are going
00:11:42
to have we're going to have to raise
00:11:43
taxes on the wealthy we're going to have
00:11:44
to redistribute unless you guys want a
00:11:46
revolution we're already living in a
00:11:47
kleptocracy do you want a revolution to
00:11:49
go arm and arm with that and then the
00:11:50
other thing is you guys know I've been
00:11:52
saying this for a long time I'm not
00:11:53
convinced there will be a quote unquote
00:11:54
Revolution because we have so many good
00:11:56
distractions nowadays right and it keeps
00:11:58
everybody sort of purposely stupid and
00:12:00
distracted
00:12:02
247 so uh are we going to be able to
00:12:05
harness whatever energy is out there in
00:12:07
a positive direction but here's what I
00:12:10
would bet on I would bet
00:12:13
on social order collapse I would bet on
00:12:17
things going in the wrong direction I
00:12:19
would bet on um bodies in the streets at
00:12:23
some point over some issue the likes of
00:12:25
which I cannot predict at the moment but
00:12:28
when things get bad enough
00:12:29
right and I think we're definitely going
00:12:30
to see that when the next bubble pops
00:12:32
when things get bad enough um the ruling
00:12:36
class is going to be Shook and they're
00:12:38
going to probably go all out Crack down
00:12:40
martial law style in order to try to
00:12:42
return order but you can't really return
00:12:44
order when people don't have a home to
00:12:46
go back to when people can't pay the
00:12:47
bills when people can't make it work
00:12:50
you're going to deal with permanent
00:12:51
unrest in a scenario like that and this
00:12:53
is a warning coming directly from an NYU
00:12:56
Professor so if you don't take my word
00:12:58
for it some YouTuber take his
00:13:00
word for it because this is coming
00:13:02
especially now with the Trump
00:13:03
Administration being in there
00:13:04
kleptocracy being obvious more tax cuts
00:13:07
for the rich more
00:13:08
deregulation uh more tax cuts for
00:13:11
corporations letting the wealthy loot
00:13:13
the treasury bailing out the crypto
00:13:15
Market which is coming as all that goes
00:13:18
on there's going to be more social
00:13:19
unrest it's going to be tough to deal
00:13:21
with so heed the warning in advance heed
00:13:23
the Waring in advance you better give
00:13:25
people a fair shot or prepare for the
00:13:27
