00:02:07.000And now I got a couple different businesses consulting and spend most of my time traveling, enjoying YouTube, building community, and that's about it.
00:02:17.000I remember we were in Vegas for an event.
00:02:20.000Marquette hit us up, took his day off just for us, man.
00:03:28.000So I was born in San Diego, raised in Los Angeles, went to pretty crummy schools.
00:03:34.000I actually found out I later joined Teach for America and I found out that the schools I actually went to had Teach for America teachers, which is really cool when you see things come full circle.
00:04:36.000Second one I was able to make it take off and you know while I had the second one taking off it was a investor backed company.
00:04:43.000I founded another company at the same time, and at that time I was creating offices throughout the United States, created one in South Korea, created another office in Puerto Rico, was doing a deal in China.
00:04:54.000But when I moved to South Korea, I'd created that second company.
00:04:57.000Was this your third business now at this point?
00:05:13.000I think the people really learned from this.
00:05:15.000Yeah, you know, the first ones at this stage is almost embarrassing, but it was called Hobby Buddy.
00:05:19.000And the idea was that you could look at a map and you could list an activity and someone could join you and do whatever activity you like, whether it's golfing, pick up basketball, going to the gym, salsa dancing, just someone to join in on this activity that you like that you need someone else to do it with.
00:06:03.000I don't even know my mother's birthday.
00:06:04.000And honestly, because I'm thinking here, if you release something like this Hobby Buddy thing, maybe nowadays, it probably might pick up some traction, because that's a really innovative thing to think back in 2011, 2012, before the explosion of social media.
00:07:20.000And mind you, this is before things like Twitter were creating a precedence of like, oh, you can have users with no revenue and it's all good.
00:08:53.000So in the process of customer discovery, trying my best to sell this thing, I was talking with a president of University of Missouri, and I was trying to sell him, which is a bad thing to do.
00:09:04.000Then eventually, he tells me what his problem is, which is what I really should have tried to figure out straight away.
00:09:10.000And remember, when you're doing B2B, there's only really two ways to sell to a business.
00:09:14.000Number one is, I can increase your revenue by doing this for you, or I can save you money by doing this for you.
00:09:22.000And if you're talking about entities that interact with government, you should be saying, hey, I can help you meet this regulation that you have to abide by as well.
00:10:09.000Reason number one, the kids who don't show up are the ones that fail.
00:10:13.000And the ones that fail or are not counted as a student because they didn't show up enough times, we can't get paid from federal financial aid.
00:10:45.00040% of the class, which is enough for us to get funding, but they didn't come for the midterm.
00:10:50.000And so we got our funding taken away because we use that as a proxy for attendance.
00:10:54.000I literally just had an epiphany moment.
00:10:55.000So are you telling me that universities use the process of midterms and final exams, not necessarily to test their competence, rather a way for them to ensure attendance for funding?
00:13:27.000Do the universities care so much that kids...
00:13:29.000Because I remember when I was in college, a lot of kids wouldn't show up to class.
00:13:31.000They would just show up for the finals, the midterms, and take the...
00:13:33.000Do the universities actually care that much about kids showing up to class?
00:13:37.000Or is it that if they don't show up to class, they're not going to be in a position to take the midterm, which would then actually be reported?
00:13:44.000Universities care about the students paying their tuition.
00:13:48.000So whatever adds up to the student paying the tuition is what they care about.
00:14:39.000So right there and then, having this talk with that Missouri University president, that's when you kind of shifted gears and you're like, alright, we need to find a way to keep kids in the university enrolled.
00:14:50.000Not even to keep them enrolled, or excuse me, not even to keep them enrolled, not to make them show up.
00:14:55.000Our simple job and one of the important things about being successful with a product-based business is simplicity and understanding what your customer actually needs.
00:15:53.000And so we were the earliest alert that you could possibly give the college for figuring out who they need to talk to.
00:15:59.000So, since they have this data, I guess, did it put them in a position where they were able to kind of like mitigate the risk and be like, hey, asshole, we know you haven't shown up to class.
00:16:17.000And then the other piece about it that was...
00:16:20.000Really profitable for the colleges is like they were seeing that not only were they able to keep the kids in college so that they can get their guaranteed state funding or government funding but also the kids are now persisting so you're going to get greater lifetime value out of the customer which is to say that they're going to pay you more tuition over time because they're not dropping out.
00:16:38.000There's a program at most colleges called first year retention.
00:16:41.000So if you can get the kid past the first year, generally you got a shot at keeping them for six years, even though it's a four year degree, most kids in America are taking six years.
00:16:59.000For example, with DeVry, they paid $5 per student.
00:17:01.000They have a tremendous number of students, so it works out really well.
00:17:05.000We had deals with smaller colleges that paid $15 per student or $23 per student.
00:17:11.000And then we had a deal with a college in Virginia where we actually had our technology come pre-installed on their iPads, and so we were able to charge them additional service fees for pre-installing.
00:18:10.000And when you cause a supply chain issue like that, It's going to cause some reverberations.
00:18:16.000So then I said, okay, and it was very stressful at the time because we got six-figure deals and they're breaking our supply chain and lying about it.
00:18:23.000Like, oh, don't worry, it'll be there in a week type stuff.
00:18:25.000I mean, let's also add in tight timelines.
00:18:28.000School starts, most universities start in August and or September.
00:18:32.000So they probably want the software by damn near July, if not sooner, probably, right?
00:18:35.000When we're dealing with a lot of nursing programs and things that are running year-round...
00:18:40.000We were really, yeah, it was going into high gear, it was exciting.
00:18:44.000And so it was a major business problem and what was exciting for me, at the time it was angry and it was depressing because I'd worked so hard and we were finally winning, we finally had volume.
00:18:55.000So I was able to make a contact in China and get our own device designed and produced.
00:19:03.000We had two different devices, one we called the Dot, it was really small and another one was more long range.
00:19:07.000So you said, fuck Alex, you outsourced it to the Chinese.
00:19:32.000Why did the decision to move it to China versus, I mean, there might be obvious ones like maybe cutting costs or whatever it may be.
00:19:38.000But like, what led to the decision to like, okay, we're gonna start manufacturing, getting everything ready to go in China versus using, I mean, that guy was unreliable, so I see why you didn't understand.
00:19:46.000Yeah, no, we actually, and they were in Eastern Europe, so that firm was in Eastern Europe.
00:19:54.000The CEO was Eastern European living in America.
00:19:57.000And they were manufacturing in Eastern Europe.
00:19:59.000We actually did try to manufacture in the United States, because at this point I had offices throughout the U.S. and one in Erie, Pennsylvania, which is, you know, they have a decent manufacturing base there.
00:20:39.000And so there's a number of like silicon materials and casings and things that allow you to make it very small.
00:20:45.000And then there's a certain battery that allows it to last for like three to five years.
00:20:49.000Was chip production another reason why you decided to go through China because Taiwan is right there?
00:20:54.000No, it was really the being able to do all of the components in one place, and I'll give you a note on why they're able to do it all in one place, whereas in the States we'd have to have like, okay, these people are doing the chip part, these people are doing the casing, and then, you know, it was just a mess.
00:21:10.000So many hands in a cookie jar, which limits your efficiency and the ability to get the product out quickly to the universities.
00:21:18.000And eventually when I got a deal set up with China, essentially the government, and they introduced us to a number of investors, which in China is still the government, even though they pretend as though it's not the government.
00:21:31.000They love the fact that we already had our factory there and we already had so many relationships.
00:21:38.000And they have the Belt and Road Initiative, which, in my opinion, is their effort to take over the world.
00:21:44.000But they're trying to bring all of the most innovative technologists, high growth companies into China.
00:21:51.000And so they took myself and a number of entrepreneurs from around the world who had high growth companies.
00:21:56.000And they said, hey, this city is dedicated to electric cars.
00:22:02.000This whole city we've built is all about electric cars.
00:22:04.000This whole city is all about artificial intelligence.
00:22:07.000This whole city is all about fill-in-the-blank technology.
00:22:11.000And, hey, check out this model we've made of the city.
00:22:14.000Here's where we're standing and here's the building that we're constructing and let us know what you want in there.
00:22:47.000How far ahead, if they are, is China to the United States when it comes to tech and production and just being able to get shit done without all the hoopla like here in the States?
00:22:58.000Listen, I have a lot of connections in government.
00:23:20.000Then I went as a guest of the Chinese government when we were doing that business deal.
00:23:24.000They took me on a tour of a bunch of cities and every city I went to, like of course we went to Shanghai, huge mega cities.
00:23:34.000We went to their small cities which were bigger than our big cities and they were sparkling clean, brand new, high tech and I will never forget we were at a train station and I thought it was an airport because it was massive and we got on the train and the train You can't even take a nap.
00:24:27.000We get the poor and the sick and the tired from other countries.
00:24:30.000China's not letting you in unless you're paying extra money to be a student at their universities or they have specifically recruited you because you are the cream of the intellectual crop.
00:24:58.000And the reason why I wanted to go into this was because I remember the first time we interviewed you, you spoke about how you were getting...
00:25:23.000So they basically wanted you to run your business out of their country, and they basically secured no intellectual property theft, which I think is very interesting because China is one of the number one places for IPR theft.
00:25:35.000I saw fake Rolls Royce there, I kid you not.
00:25:37.000Yeah, China's the best at Bullick and everything.
00:25:46.000China is the biggest thief of American intellectual property in the world.
00:25:51.000When I worked for HSI... Every time we did, like, because we used to investigate IPR, intellectual property theft, which is guys basically stealing stuff that's trademarked, you know, brands, right?
00:26:12.000I still have never figured that out, but I tell you, if you want to learn, you can go to thesassin.com, Conference 2.
00:26:18.000You can actually check it out and learn everything about NFTs, including how to make an NFT. They're screaming in the chat with an NFT. I don't know why, but apparently something to do with Destiny.
00:26:40.000Which I've always said, because similar to cryptocurrency, which is traded as though it's like some sort of commodity, there's not an underlying asset.
00:28:18.000They changed the Bible texts for their communities.
00:28:22.000Like, they changed the actual word in the Bible, and it's because it was more efficient to have them believe a certain narrative towards Jesus.
00:29:31.000So this is the best way to understand fascism.
00:29:35.000Fascism is a term that's often used almost colloquially just to describe a regime that you don't like, an authoritarian regime that you don't like.
00:29:43.000But paradigmatic fascism is that which was practiced by the Italians.
00:29:48.000The chief philosopher of fascism was a gentleman by name of Giovanni Gentile.
00:29:53.000And you can read about fascism and the ideology in detail by looking at Dr.
00:29:59.000A. James Greger, who is the foremost scholar.
00:30:02.000But in short, fascism was the authoritarian effort of the Italian government to get their spot in the sun.
00:30:08.000And Nazism, which is often called fascist, modeled itself after fascism.
00:34:01.000And that's one thing I've kind of realized is that Like, no matter how good your content is, someone is going to find something to complain about or cry about, bro.
00:37:14.000And when you have information on individuals, you can utilize this information for blackmail, for intelligence purposes.
00:37:21.000For recruiting agents, there's so many things that can be done with this and China would not embrace that kind of a security risk.
00:37:28.000And it's ironic, I was just in India, I don't know, maybe like 13 days ago I was in India, which hopefully I never have to go back to India.
00:37:37.000But I was in India and you cannot use TikTok in India.
00:37:42.000So, if the Indians are smart enough to say, we will not allow TikTok, they're part of BRICS, right?
00:37:48.000China's a part of BRICS, India's a part of BRICS? I was going to say, they're allies, aren't they?
00:39:04.000And guys, from this point forward, I'm going to read the chats, but we're going to read 20 enough from this point forward because I want to make sure that you guys get all this knowledge from Marquette.
00:39:44.000You're making it quickly and you keep your finger on the pulse of any new interviews on, take the best parts of it, clip it, have it ready to go.
00:40:30.000Obviously, you guys have just heard a little bit of it as far as running a business, scaling it up, moving it to a foreign country that would never accept Americans.
00:40:36.000So getting chauffeured around by Chinese government.
00:40:40.000You got to be somebody to be able to do that.
00:40:41.000That takes skill, dedication, and being that guy.
00:40:44.000And I just knew when you said that, from my being involved in law enforcement, dealing with China, as an American, if you're getting respect in China and they're treating you well, bro, you're doing something right.
00:44:53.000And then conversation goes left because he was being a weirdo.
00:44:57.000And I thought it was strange because the situation would have never occurred if he would have simply just took my kindness, which was, I'll cancel the roast.
00:45:05.000Which is what he really wanted was not to be roasted.
00:45:07.000All he had to say was, alright, yeah, cancel it.
00:46:11.000The recording of the audio would be irrelevant, wouldn't it?
00:46:14.000But the reason I had to record the audio is because he's a dishonest person.
00:46:17.000And you know what people do, and I know you guys have experienced this, whether it's from males or females, is he lied about the contents of our conversation.
00:46:26.000And so when I released the audio, people were like, yo, during the live session when you were live, you lied and said certain things that weren't true.
00:46:33.000And Marquette played the audio, and we can clearly see that you are a liar.
00:46:38.000Had I not had that, we couldn't document that he's a liar.
00:49:47.000And for the record with the internet, the internet nerds always come at me saying crazy shit like, you don't have as many subscribers as so-and-so.
00:49:54.000I'm like, yeah, but I have two Rolls-Royce, an IA and a Maybach, and multiple properties in places I don't want to talk about, in bank accounts around the world.
00:51:49.000Ten years, there's been a complete shift where people are saying college is a scam, etc., which I agree with it to the most part, but there are circumstances where college is absolutely a necessity, depending on what you want to go into.
00:52:00.000But what are your thoughts on this in general?
00:52:01.000I want everyone to know there's a ton of cameras, so I don't know which camera to look into.
00:52:27.000And, you know, I wanted to give you guys also your compliment when the gentleman had asked about, you know, how's he going to do his shorts for Jay Waller.
00:52:35.000And I want to say, like, this is the guy who knows.
00:52:37.000Like, you guys are the experts in this stuff.
00:52:40.000So he got advice from the expert, which is where you should go.
00:53:40.000And with mathematics, you can go into currency speculating, you can go into paper assets, you can go into Wall Street, you can go into investment banking.
00:54:36.000And I remember I was working hard on a company, a good buddy of mine, because I founded a fraternity when I was in university, so I have strong relationships.
00:55:20.000They create non-profits and then they get their husband to give them a little money and their husband's friends give a little bit of money.
00:55:25.000But if you really want to do something, if you're really a leader, you need to be able to cut the check.
00:55:30.000And if you want to cut the check, you need to be a businessman.
00:55:34.000Stop with this nonsense of being a school teacher.
00:55:37.000You went to Berkeley and Johns Hopkins to become a public school teacher?
00:55:57.000No, because my mother couldn't tell me that.
00:56:01.000This Jewish kid's mother who was a professor and a successful journalist around the world and her husband a successful entertainment lawyer in Los Angeles and represented all of the stars.
00:56:12.000I only had access to her because of the college I went to.
00:56:15.000And then when I fell short on capital for my startup company, which I had sacrificed everything for, sacrificed my personal credit, sacrificed all of my money, sacrificed other people's money, when I ran out of money, my buddy David says, He's like, hey, how's your startup going?
00:58:18.000Right now I'm doing a practicum, which is essentially a course where you get to learn.
00:58:22.000I'm doing a practicum called How to Create and Monetize Your App.
00:58:27.000So, you're getting the lecture-type education that you would get regularly, but I'm also actually building an app, and you're going through the entire process.
00:58:34.000I'm telling you everything that I'm doing.
00:58:36.000Oh, I'm investing this amount of money.
00:58:45.000So, by the time you're done with my practicum, if you were to apply to a job, you could say, Hey, I've experienced bringing 100,000 users onto a technology.
00:59:40.000And now, you're in a different position than these other suckers who are working day and night, nine to five.
00:59:48.000So, yeah, if I don't want to go to college, I take my practicum, which you can get at marquettism.com, or I study under someone like you, because to be able to watch you and observe how you guys work and how you network...
01:00:00.000That is the ballgame, is getting to the transaction.
01:00:22.000If I had not went to Northeastern in Boston, I wouldn't have met certain individuals who made me have a different outlook on life on what is possible.
01:00:28.000Made me realize that material things are stupid.
01:00:31.000Spending a bunch of money on Jordans might not be the best move.
01:00:34.000Spending a bunch of money on designer, etc.
01:00:37.000Especially at my younger age when I didn't have the money to do so, living beyond my means.
01:00:43.000Being successful is the number one thing, and then you can go ahead and choose to buy that stupid shit once you make the money.
01:00:48.000But when you're building up, it's delayed gratification.
01:00:52.000So it definitely opened me up to a different class of people, because I had never been around rich people until I went to college.
01:00:58.000And just like your situation where you were exposed to...
01:01:01.000This woman who was a lawyer, excuse me, no, journalist, and she was a professor who was married to a lawyer, powerful people, it lets you see what's possible, especially when you come from an inner city like I did, right?
01:01:12.000So I think that's important, but I 100% agree with you that if you're gonna go the college route, it's gotta be one of two things.
01:01:19.000You either got a major or something that's gonna get you an entry-level job immediately, which is what you were saying before, Or, if you are going to have a bullshit degree, you better go to fucking Harvard or Yale.
01:01:27.000Because that network will make up for your shitty ass degree.
01:01:30.000Because the reason why I've leaked schools, Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Princeton, Penn, Dartmouth, did I say Princeton?
01:01:57.000The reason why these schools are so prestigious and people love them so much is because they have huge endowments, they have a huge network.
01:02:03.000Once you get out, even if you major or something bullshit, you're going to probably find a job.
01:02:07.000I mean, just to give you guys a perspective on how strong some of these schools are when it comes to networking and money, I'll never forget this.
01:02:25.000And it was a struggle for, you know, Northeastern didn't get a boat here and there, Boston University, you know, we'd get boats every now and then, right?
01:02:32.000Because, you know, it's a private school, a lot of wealthy people are alumni.
01:02:46.000And we used to make fun of Harvard and talk our shit, blah, blah, blah.
01:02:48.000But schools like that where there's a waiting list to donate $50,000, that tells you guys the type of, once you have a degree there, the type of network you're going to be open to.
01:02:56.000So if you are going to major in something bullshit, you better go to a damn good school that's going to get you a job.
01:03:00.000Northeastern, they had a co-op program, which I was able to get my government job through them because they had connections with Homeland Security.
01:03:05.000So that was how I was able to get my foot in the door to get that job, six-figure job out of college.
01:03:11.000I worked for four or five years, hit 100K, was able to take that money, invest it, now you guys have the podcast that you see here.
01:03:17.000But I would not have been able to do that had I not went to college.
01:03:20.000So my thing when it comes to college is, It's got to be either A, you're majoring in something that's going to find you an extra level job, or it's going to get you a skill set that will be a higher earning like a doctor, lawyer, etc.
01:03:30.000Or you better go to a damn near Ivy League school that will get you a network that will get you a job right out.
01:03:48.000Would you agree that there are feeder schools that if you really want to be well positioned to go into FBI, CIA, Homeland, there are a number of feeder schools that you're going to have a much better opportunity.
01:04:05.000That's how I got in with Homeland Security.
01:04:07.000The things that helped me was I was an athlete, Division 1 athlete, and I had a 3.3 GPA, but I spoke Arabic as well, but that helped me because the guy that hired me was a Northeastern former football player, and I was an athlete.
01:04:20.000So they're like, okay, this guy has good grades, and he's an athlete, speaks Arabic, boom, let's pick him up.
01:04:24.000But if I didn't go to Northeastern, I would have never got that job.
01:04:26.000And there's definitely universities that have shoe-ins with certain agencies or certain positions.
01:04:33.000That's also something as well, and I think that kind of gets overlooked, but again...
01:04:37.000A lot of the times, a lot of y'all go to college and some shitty-ass school with a shitty-ass major with a shitty-ass degree, yeah, you're not gonna get a job.
01:04:43.000But if you go to a more prestigious school that has a network or you're majoring in something that will get you a job, then it's worth it.
01:04:49.000People underestimate the power of a network.
01:04:51.000You made a very good point because even getting a degree, you might know something, but you don't know the workspace.
01:04:56.000You don't know, for example, the culture, the career, how it even works, versus you have someone that knows, like a professor that you shadow or you kind of like apprentice.
01:05:31.000They literally had something called over at the HCI, they had the Northeastern Mafia.
01:05:34.000Like a bunch of alum that graduated from Northeastern and then they opened up that internship program for students specifically from Northeastern.
01:05:42.000So certain schools do have shoo-ins with certain Government agencies, companies, startups, whatever it may be that you want to get involved in.
01:05:50.000Figure out what you want to do, figure out which schools have the best connections to do so, and do it.
01:05:55.000I think the biggest mistake is when you go in undeclared.
01:05:58.000You don't know what the fuck you're doing.
01:08:00.000Myron, when you find a wife in the Middle East, how many weeks or months of the year do you intend to spend outside the U.S.? Will you be living on call?
01:09:01.000I always wear a suit because, you know, you'll hear black folks complain about racism all the time, which racism is real, but it's not strong enough to stop you from achieving, right?
01:10:27.000Then you ask me, like, what is an NFT? Those are the kind of things that subconsciously you gotta say, that's a strange thing to ask.
01:10:34.000That's like asking Michael Jordan, like, what's a double dribble?
01:10:37.000Or asking Floyd Mayweather, what's a shoulder roll?
01:10:40.000And the question is like, well, why do you look at a certain person who already is proven, but you ask them something to suggest that they're an imposter?
01:10:49.000Even though what I've done is easily found on Google or on Forbes, right?
01:11:06.000So someone asks you something like, what's an NFT? It's like, I'll Google that when I'm in the Maybach using the Wi-Fi in the back of the Maybach with the tray table.
01:11:15.000Like, I'll Google it, see if I can find it out.
01:14:05.000I actually feel like Destiny and I have had a misunderstanding.
01:14:09.000Truth be told, of all the people you mentioned, Destiny is the one guy that I'd be willing to sit down with in as much as, admittedly, I've said some things to him and about him that I think were hurtful to him.
01:14:21.000And I'd be willing to sit down with him and hash that out.
01:14:34.000And in as much as that's the case, I'd be willing to sit down with him and be civil and, you know, Because one thing I don't want to be my legacy is a kind of intolerance that edges on making other people feel like they're less than.
01:14:55.000Just because I find something you do to be reprehensible or immoral or disgusting doesn't mean that you need to walk through your life with your head down.
01:15:03.000And so I want to teach people that you can tell someone I don't agree with your behaviors.
01:16:56.000It's about the fact that you got fucking flamed.
01:17:00.000And by the way, for people like DJ Thadademics, you make your living by lambasting and verbally assaulting dimwits, rappers, drill rappers who can barely speak English, right?
01:17:15.000They're ignorant among the African American masses.
01:17:19.000But then I step up all of a sudden, he quiet as a church mouse.
01:21:52.000It's advanced and you're going to need more money in your bank personally to use that kind of company.
01:21:57.000And the same thing is true of B2G, business to government.
01:22:01.000Now, B2G is we're talking huge amounts of money, right?
01:22:03.000You're really not doing a deal less than $100,000 when you do B2G. We're good to go.
01:22:25.000With a very simple and clear revenue model that is focused on an average consumer.
01:22:31.000And what I'm saying is you'd be the Walmart of technology.
01:22:34.000You have a technology that everyone can use.
01:22:36.000There's not one person on earth who...
01:22:38.000See, I choose not to go into Walmart, but I can go in there and buy a great many things.
01:22:43.000So you want to be Walmart in as much as, who can't use TikTok?
01:22:46.000You have old thoughts using TikTok, young thoughts using TikTok.
01:22:49.000You have grown men using TikTok, everyone can use it.
01:22:52.000So that's the kind of technology you want to create.
01:22:55.000And those are all simple technologies.
01:22:57.000You see, people often bring up AI now.
01:23:00.000One, frankly, no one understands it, like the people who are talking about it.
01:23:04.000And B, very few people actually are building AI. They might say something is AI, but it's usually not AI. AI is very expensive and very complex.
01:23:16.000Can you tell us, because it's getting thrown out everywhere nowadays, right?
01:23:19.000And as a real tech professional here that's made millions of dollars doing this, what is real AI versus what people are describing on the internet?
01:23:26.000Let's put it simple, and this is occurring consistently.
01:25:06.000Artificial intelligence is like a computer thinking.
01:25:09.000I'm telling them something extremely specific and they're giving me back an answer based on the specific circumstances I announced in my problem.
01:25:17.000And importantly, it can create something new.
01:25:21.000It can give you an option or give you a piece of information that is new.
01:25:27.000So for example, with ChatGBT, which I also think that people don't know how to properly utilize ChatGBT to make money to this day.
01:25:35.000But the two common forms of AI that people actually have interacted with are ChatGBT and then the image creation one.
01:25:41.000So if I go on an image creating artificial intelligence and I say, hey, I want to see a version of Myron Gaines that Destiny will find attractive and so then it generates an image automatically so it'll show Myron Gaines with orange hair and a big booty wearing like that Borat g-string you know the neon one you know so it'll show something like that and it thought of that there's nowhere on the internet that Destiny could currently find a photo of
01:26:11.000you with orange hair wearing a neon color g-string it created that you see what I'm saying The imagery is shattering, bro.
01:27:08.000And the reality is most of this stuff doesn't even constitute as it.
01:27:10.000And would you say that we're probably, since most of the things that people think is AI isn't really AI, it's just literally preconceived answers based on, I guess, questions and or phrases that might have been thrown to them in the first place and they just kind of have it in a data bank.
01:27:57.000That's the closest thing we get to on a daily basis in terms of a consumer interacting with something that has artificial intelligence.
01:28:03.000When it's choosing what things to push out to you that are new, like for example at Spotify, if Spotify suggests a new artist, Well, they've taken a number of values and the technology did some thinking to say, okay, well, if you like Drake and you like Young Thug,
01:28:22.000we think that you'll like this artist.
01:28:42.000And so you can actually, on a text analysis basis, find out like, oh, okay, well, DaBaby and Young Thug Linguistically have similar lyrics.
01:28:52.000So if we know that he likes this rapper, he'll probably also like DaBaby because they've both been categorized as hip hop rap from a genre standpoint.
01:29:00.000And so in analyzing this, the technology thinks and then suggests DaBaby if you listen to Young Thug.
01:29:10.000Evolved though, it never started that way.
01:29:12.000I want everyone to understand, when you're trying to create a technology, oh you want to create YouTube, you want to create Spotify, Spotify's first iteration was not sophisticated like that.
01:29:21.000YouTube's wasn't either, Facebook obviously wasn't either, and they evolved to these things.
01:29:26.000So an example could be of like real AI would be like the YouTube algorithm where you're feeding a certain information on what you're watching and it's real time processing what you're watching.
01:29:37.000Look at how much you interacted with the content and giving you, spitting out content creators that you probably like based on your real time viewing decisions.
01:30:27.000Just like human beings have levels of intelligence.
01:30:29.000There's different levels of sophistication with it based on how nuanced it's going to be or how detailed it's going to be.
01:30:34.000But in general, it's giving you information back based on your real-time decisions and what you're giving it real-time.
01:30:40.000That's right, and the creator of the AI is the one that defines the level of intelligence of the AI. Okay, so algorithms you would say are probably the closest to AI that are simple, I guess, that everyone deals with.
01:30:53.000Well, AI is just, put it this way, software is just mathematics.
01:30:57.000So when people are saying algorithms, like just colloquially speaking, yeah, like when you have more algorithms interacting with a greater data set, then you're getting closer to AI. And then when your technology, yeah, let's just say that.
01:31:10.000I would argue we haven't really seen what AI can do.
01:31:13.000Like we have an idea, what we think it is, but we don't know what it really is.
01:32:01.000They're trying to maintain employment.
01:32:03.000So when you hear people, you also hear people say silly things like you'll hear Elon Musk say things like, oh, you know, we have a declining population.
01:32:21.000Same thing with many places in Europe.
01:32:24.000That's because they're focused on a metric of GDP, which is actually not the metric that we should be focusing on.
01:32:33.000And how does it make sense that in this world we're concerned with climate change, but at the same time we're saying we need to maintain high populations in Western nations?
01:32:46.000Consumption is degrading the climate because of the emissions and all these other things that come with consumption.
01:32:51.000So there's an infinite number of lies that we're experiencing.
01:32:53.000Karl Marx, for example, his thesis was essentially that capitalist economies will evolve such that You will reduce the necessity for human beings by increasing the usage of machines.
01:33:09.000So why is it that there's a problem when you have declining populations?
01:35:49.000No, I... With the transplant, because I thought about going to Turkey, but then when I did the numbers in my head, I was like, this doesn't make sense.
01:35:58.000Actually, it would have cost me more money and time to go out to Turkey, recover over there and everything.
01:37:42.000Because what I realized is that if you actually want to do something, it requires your emotions and it's a book that stirs your emotions to actually do something.
01:37:59.000So I would recommend The Richest Man in Babylon.
01:38:02.000Oh, by the way, I actually have a whole book list.
01:38:04.000If you go to amazon.com slash shop slash the saint in the center, I got like probably 50 books on there.
01:38:10.000But The Richest Man in Babylon, Think and Grow Rich, Outwitting the Devil.
01:38:16.000And I could go on endlessly, but the truth is you're not going to read all those books.
01:38:19.000So I always encourage you to prioritize action over all things.
01:38:25.000And one note on Henry Ford, great American and capitalist, changed the world.
01:38:30.000He's the reason everyone can drive cars.
01:38:34.000Henry Ford was once in a court under oath and he was asked a basic question that most people who have went to school would be able to answer.
01:38:50.000He was able to make a tremendous amount of money and change the world such that we speak of him today because he knows how to get things done.
01:40:06.000And those are the facts though, right?
01:40:08.000She's getting her fans from guys who say that they despise her type.
01:40:15.000You know, if you really do despise her type and more importantly, love yourself, you have to give up pornography, you have to give up those kinds of obsessions.
01:40:22.000The world is in decay because of male perversion and men's inability to control their emotions.
01:40:28.000If we can get those two things in order, we'll be in a strong position to move things forward, but it's upon us.
01:40:34.000What are your thoughts on, because not just her, but a lot of women in general tend to look at it like, oh, I get sexual attention from men, so therefore my value is high.
01:41:04.000But if you look at her like she ain't shit, and you tell her like, bitch, if you walked across the street and got hit by a car, I wouldn't even call 911 for you.
01:42:08.000What are your thoughts on where the United States is right now in comparison to other places that you've been to, and where do you see the future going as far as the next place to be?
01:42:20.000I often echo that the best politician, the best political leader is an international businessman because he actually understands the world.
01:42:30.000And the more time you spend in the world, you understand that really the world is just composed of gangs warring against one another.
01:42:38.000And as Wu-Tang said, Wu-Tang, the deepest political philosophers ever, they said, cream, cash rules everything around me.
01:42:44.000And you will observe no matter where you go...
01:42:56.000They have to, or else they go out of business.
01:42:58.000But if you're a career politician like Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, you've been in a, air quote, business where if you don't deliver the goods, your business never shuts down.
01:44:15.000Right, because when you travel around the world, another reason I wear a business suit, the first thing, if they see you or I, their first question is like, oh, where are you from?
01:44:23.000And then you say America, and they're like, oh, well, where are your parents from?
01:44:26.000And you say America, and they're like, oh, where are your grandparents from?
01:44:28.000They're waiting for you to say Nigeria or some African country, right?
01:44:33.000They don't understand the concept of your family's been in America for 300 years, you just don't know.
01:44:43.000It makes it easier for people to digest.
01:44:44.000I saw some shoes that I liked, and they didn't have my size, so my assistant says, I'll go online, I'll find them, and we were going to Vietnam, and she says, I'll just mail them to Vietnam.
01:44:55.000So then we fly to Vietnam, and eventually DHO gives us a notification like, hey, your shoes are here.
01:45:00.000You do have to pay an import tax and duty.
01:46:23.000Silicon Valley is the technology hub of the world.
01:46:26.000How do I work in Silicon Valley and we don't have the basics of technology that you're going to find in South Korea, which is supposed to be an inferior country?
01:46:34.000They retina scan my eye for me to get in, then let me tell you something crazier.
01:46:37.000They got this little card that you can use to navigate their public transportation, which even if you don't speak Korean is so well designed that you don't need Korean because it's beautifully color-coded and it's very clear.
01:46:48.000And you take this card, you use it to get on the train.
01:46:51.000And then if you choose to go get a snack at 7-Eleven, you use the same card at 7-Eleven.
01:46:55.000And anything else you'd like to do, you use the same card.
01:49:17.000You think it's the U.S. government that basically is the main reason that's holding us back, why we're not able to...
01:49:22.000I am certain that it's the United States government and it's the disconnect between the intelligentsia, the United States government, and the top percentage of Americans that is causing this.
01:49:33.000And it's also the fact that we have a diverse country.
01:49:37.000So, for example, in South Korea, it's a homogenous country and there's tremendous levels of trust.
01:49:49.000I don't want to sound like a racist or whatever, but homogenous countries tend to have less crime.
01:49:54.000And it's better all the way around, generally speaking.
01:49:58.000And actually, they're the most racist.
01:50:00.000I was going to say, in Japan, I know you don't get along with John so much, but he's told me stories of where they will literally tell him, no, we're not serving you at this restaurant.
01:50:11.000And in some cases, they don't even consider it racism.
01:50:15.000I've spent a lot of time in Latvia, for example, little known country no one ever really shows up to.
01:50:20.000And I'll hear the Latvians say things that are most certainly racist, like say things like, oh yeah, you know, You know, we're trying to keep out like we don't want to accept any Ukrainians or we don't want to accept any such and such because, you know, the Latvians are very competent, productive people and we don't want to mix our blood with anyone else.
01:50:37.000Well, look me dead in the eye and tell me we don't want to mix our blood with anyone else.
01:50:40.000And she was like, you know, and also you have to understand that certain European countries, they have the higher intelligence.
01:51:32.000I think it'll be harder to find good partners and good workers in Dubai.
01:51:35.000You know, the Emiratis are not very productive and then you're dealing with a lot of foreigners, which, you know, it just makes business a lot more complex because they belong to different nations and, you know, Long story.
01:53:07.000If I wasn't going to live in the United States and it's not for criminal purposes, meaning I'm like, dang, I need to find a country in which I will not be extradited out of.
01:53:37.000There's an international scammer from Spain who's just blatantly scamming, left Europe, went to Israel, and continued scamming, grew a scamming business, and they wouldn't extradite him.
01:55:06.000But we're going to see wealth sucked into that.001%.
01:55:10.000We're going to see a rapid decline in culture and quality of people.
01:55:14.000You see, the problem is when we're talking about making America great again, we forget that we also have to make the Americans great again.
01:55:21.000So it used to be that Americans were more productive than other peoples and had a superior culture, work ethic and mindset.
01:55:30.000As compared to other peoples, I would not say that that is currently the case.
01:55:34.000And so increasingly, we're going to see...
01:56:01.000I mean, at the end of the day, we're borrowing money from China to pay for a war in Ukraine that is not really our own, and thereby pushing Russia and China closer together, which many analysts and even the persons within those nation states have always said America should not let this happen.
01:56:20.000If we stopped all trade in other countries, we'd be fucked.
01:56:26.000Trade has been a critical part of international capitalism, but we have to stop certain...
01:56:32.000One, we need to create certain import taxes on particular industries that are core to our national security.
01:56:41.000For example, if you're talking about the things that go into building tanks, aircraft, that should all be domestic, which is not actually the case.
01:59:05.000Yeah, I mean, I think at this point, you know, people talk shit and say China is behind, blah, blah, blah, the economy is going to fail or whatever.
01:59:11.000I mean, dude, within the next 50 years, I mean, China is a very serious, you know, nemesis for the United States.
01:59:19.000They're stealing our intellectual property left and right.
01:59:22.000They're the biggest thieves of our technology.
01:59:23.000They got spies getting caught left and right here all the time.
02:05:01.000And I hope you guys, like I said before, I hope you guys are liking the studio, man, and the new studio and the camera angles and the lighting and everything else.
02:05:07.000Because, bro, literally, guys, the past two weeks have been hell for me with building the studio, making it look really good and making sure everything is good and, you know, up into quality at the same time.
02:05:45.000Marquette has a few programs for marquettism.com that guides people in creating large product-based businesses that have been paying dozens of people dividends for a while.
02:06:20.000Check out the conference of Markoetism for proof.
02:06:22.000Anyone going to check out his presentation, there it is.
02:06:25.000And then N.D. goes, Peace to the Saints.
02:06:27.000Honored to be able to listen to the Santa Center's live mindset on FNF. I have personally increased my own net worth and relationships from directly knowing him and supporting the Sazen.
02:06:34.000I respect him immensely and he has changed my life.
02:06:36.000Shout out to you, my friend, N.D. Ty Lopez, how productive to black society has Marquette been?
02:08:27.000So if you find that you can't get past that, you have to do something that's appropriate for your capacity.
02:08:32.000And when you say, well, I still get accepted, well, people are accepting you based on outcomes, not based on the acronyms associated with your name.
02:08:38.000And then lastly, you write, how to make revenue with content on media with zero followers.
02:10:18.000Haters are going to be much better promoters than those who are fans.
02:10:22.000Your haters are going to shout it high and low.
02:10:25.000So I asked myself, I said, Marquette, being the supervillain, the evil genius, Flex Luther, freshly snipes, the idol of James Bond, Attila the Hun, you're in Romania already, right?
02:10:41.000How much money would it cost you to associate the term the saint and the sinner with the term Andrew Tate?
02:10:49.000Why would it be good to associate your search term with his search term?
02:10:53.000Why would that be a good thing for a content creator?
02:11:11.000Organic is going to get you farther and organic is going to be longer lasting and organic is the algorithm.
02:11:17.000So a genius, an evil genius is going to say, okay, well, if I know that negativity sells more than positivity, let's take the side of the negativity.
02:11:25.000And if I know that the algorithm is critical to getting my content pushed out, who do I want to be associated with?
02:11:30.000I want to be associated with the guy who's the most Googled person on earth.
02:11:51.000To get my name associated with Tate's name and the algorithm would cost a tremendous amount of money that, frankly, I don't want to invest.
02:12:21.000I thought it was personally, I watched it, I laughed at it, it was hilarious.
02:12:25.000So I utilized that to the best effect, and I really enjoy looking at people in the comments like, you brought a grown man a box of candies, and I'm like, you watched the video, you add it to the watch time, you commented, you're pushing it out further, and I appreciate what's called engagement.
02:16:13.000So I knew in advance the outcome, and there are personalities that you will observe that they know the consequence, and they say, absolutely, let's saddle up.
02:16:24.000You call those personalities Julius Caesar.
02:16:29.000So I knew in advance, and whereas many people might esteem someone because they have money, or they might esteem someone because they have fame, I don't esteem anyone because they have money and fame.
02:16:41.000I esteem people because they have principles, morals, and values that I respect.
02:17:10.000These hoes out here are playing Connect Four.
02:17:12.000These hoes are playing Connect Four out here.
02:17:14.000The audience is playing Connect Four, but it's like, I know they're playing Connect Four, and I want them to ask themselves, well, how is it that for a long time Marquette has lived on his own terms?
02:19:24.000So, alright guys, come on over to Rumble.
02:19:26.000Rumble.com slash FreshFix because I definitely want to get Mark Wett's take on the current conflict that's been going on the past couple days now.
02:20:45.000Were they seeking that living space in a land that is not their own?
02:20:48.000Oh, that's the same thing that the Germans were doing.
02:20:49.000That's why they were trying to take over other people's land.
02:20:52.000The Germans also had this idea of Aryan superiority, which is to say that they were superior supermen, better than others.
02:20:59.000That's the same thing that the Jews say, that we are divine.
02:21:01.000We are the chosen people chosen by God.
02:21:05.000So you find a complete mirror in the ideology and approach of the Jews and the Germans, which is to say that the Jews became the same people that tried to eradicate them.
02:21:16.000But also, with all things you must ask, is this true?
02:21:20.000I remember Noam Chomsky said that, and I think that's an important question, which is, you know, what was the motivating force for fill in the blank?
02:21:27.000Like, for example, there's been a history of, as they call it, persecution against the Jews in Europe.
02:21:40.000One simple explanation is that they've always been separatists.
02:21:43.000In thinking that they're superior, they've always separated themselves out.
02:21:46.000Even, for example, in Baltimore, Maryland, and Hollywood, California, you'll find, or in New York as well, you'll find Jewish people living only among Jewish people.
02:21:54.000Even when they sell their house, they won't sell it to you if you're not Jewish.
02:21:59.000They have their own private schools, and they will not let you in Any of those institutions.
02:22:03.000There have been situations in New York where two people were experiencing violence or a victim of violence and the Jewish ambulance came and picked up the Jewish person and left the non-Jewish person.
02:22:12.000And they have every right to that, but they have historically been separatists.
02:23:49.000There was an agreement on how much land that they would have.
02:23:52.000They've expanded that infinitely against all international agreements.
02:23:56.000And mind you, when that international agreement was made by the United Nations, there were not many nations that were a part of United Nations and had any voting power in this.
02:24:06.000And the Jewish people, the Israelis, expanded their territory against international law, kind of the same way NATO expanded against international agreements.
02:24:59.000Mossad agents are the ones that said, oh yeah, we witnessed the lead hijacker, Mohammed Atta, go ahead and get anthrax given to him, you know, in, I forget, somewhere in Asia.
02:25:10.000And we went off that and we said, yeah, that's the link between 9-11 and Saddam Hussein.
02:28:15.000I mean, like I said before, they've done a lot of things, but their intelligence agencies were fantastic at finding these guys and tracking them down, and it's crazy.
02:28:26.000And then also, not only that, after the Olympic Games in Munich, where they took those Israeli athletes hostage and killed them, they went on a warpath and went and looked...
02:28:37.000They found all those guys that were behind it in other countries and killed them in foreign soil.
02:31:00.000The Irish became white, the Italians became white, and the Jews became white.
02:31:03.000And then within the identity of white, they also became empowered and protected because a greater boogeyman came about because, okay, we're white, but you're an Arab, right?
02:32:24.000And he said, hey, you know, they kill us whenever they feel like it.
02:32:28.000You know, they got Saddam and, you know, they're probably going to get you next, points at Bashar al-Assad before they, you know, before they came at him.
02:32:36.000He said, they'll probably get me at some point.
02:33:52.000So, because there's a lot of people that are like, you know, a lot of Jewish people that literally are great people and say, hey, like, yo, this land doesn't belong to us.
02:34:19.000Like, people would be like, nah, I think I'm good right here.
02:34:22.000You know, I think I'm good right here.
02:34:24.000And in fact, yeah, I am willing to kill to keep what I have.
02:34:27.000And they're the same way, but they're fighting a war of annihilation and they will be successful in that war with the backing of America militarily and financially.
02:34:34.000Yeah, we gave them eight billion dollars.
02:35:16.000Henry Kissinger had talked to a President of the United States and he said, hey man, you know, we have an issue with this country right here.
02:35:26.000What do you think if we bomb the country next to it?
02:35:47.000Now, sometimes the president doesn't have the stomach for this kind of thing.
02:35:50.000But if you live in an ethnostate and you're Netanyahu and you believe that these people are animals, and you've even said that many times, He wanted Lex Friedman's podcast, Lying Up a Storm.
02:37:33.000But then you have to understand the psychology of the kind of pain you went through to where you'll throw a stone because it's all you got.
02:42:18.000And guys, I'm telling y'all right now, Marquette's got a flight to catch here tonight, so we won't be able to go as long on the after hours, but I promise you guys it's going to be a great show.
02:42:26.000We're going to have some questions ready for the ladies.
