Transcript

00:00:00.000 But what I'm saying, if you are, you know, there's someone I was speaking to, and I'm not going to name names, but we all know who this person is, and they have a whole bunch of money.
00:00:08.640 And he said, Andrew, when you look at the world, you need to understand that world leaders are just asset managers.
00:00:15.920 They're the asset manager for the ultra wealthy within their nation.
00:00:19.440 Let's talk about Venezuela quickly.
00:00:21.200 Why did the Venezuela kidnap happen?
00:00:23.600 I have a theory that Maduro did a deal, but let's assume that's not true.
00:00:26.860 Why did it happen?
00:00:27.800 Because the American government said to Maduro, play ball.
00:00:30.180 He said, no.
00:00:30.900 They said, OK, cool.
00:00:31.900 Let's go one level below him to all the generals who can't be bothered to die in a pointless war they stand no chance in.
00:00:37.940 But more importantly, let's talk economics.
00:00:40.020 You're a general in Venezuela.
00:00:41.480 You've managed to be corrupt enough to steal six or seven million dollars across your career.
00:00:45.280 If you get sanctioned, not only can you not leave Venezuela, you can't transfer money.
00:00:49.300 You can't own assets anywhere else.
00:00:50.920 Your dollars are worthless.
00:00:52.240 You don't want this smoke, right?
00:00:53.680 So it's Maduro's job to keep these people so happy with him that they don't betray him for America.
00:01:00.180 And it's the same everywhere.
00:01:01.680 All of the leaders of every single country, their primary objective actually isn't the common man.
00:01:06.920 Their primary objective is protecting their oligarchy because it's their oligarchy to have enough power to betray them and overthrow them.
00:01:13.260 This is the same in every single country.
00:01:15.080 So as Trump, it's very difficult.
00:01:16.400 How do I protect the billionaires?
00:01:18.080 Because the billionaires put me here and the billionaires run the economy and they own all the important things and they own the news stations and they own all the gas stations and they own everything.
00:01:27.000 I need them happy.
00:01:28.480 But how do I do that without destroying their wealth and also allowing young people a chance to make wealth?
00:01:35.160 It's constantly fluxing.
00:01:37.460 It's extremely difficult and hard and complicated to do.
00:01:40.320 And there is an intangible element to all of this.
00:01:43.500 The intangible is that we have a brand new thing that we never had before.
00:01:47.160 And I would argue that this brand new thing that we all benefit from, social media, is driving envy to a level where it is literally impossible for a young person to fathom anything other than getting money today.
00:01:59.060 And it's getting worse.
00:02:00.340 Not only are people poor, they have to watch the rich all day.
00:02:03.940 It's amazing we don't have riots already.
00:02:06.300 This is a brand new paradigm we're entering.
00:02:08.560 And there's no easy solution to these things.
00:02:11.440 I'm not advocating for communism.
00:02:13.640 I live in Romania, which used to be communist.
00:02:16.340 I hear all the horror stories.
00:02:18.200 But even Romania now, they overthrew their election.
00:02:21.780 The guy who won was thrown out.
00:02:24.280 He was put in jail by the same prosecutor as me.
00:02:27.360 Interesting story.
00:02:28.360 They put in an EU shill.
00:02:30.200 They're now bringing in 250,000 migrants a year and they've doubled the taxes.
00:02:35.040 All the people are now starting to say, this is worse than communism.
00:02:38.560 Because I can't afford this game anymore.
00:02:40.980 At least in communism, I could eat.
00:02:42.880 I can't pay my bills anymore.
00:02:44.600 What I'm saying is capitalism, at the hyper extent, is only going to drive the median towards socialism because the median can't play the capitalistic game.
00:02:53.440 So we have to sit as intelligent adults and say, okay, how do we include the young people in capitalism?
00:02:59.900 That's what we have to do.
00:03:00.920 Absolute true.
00:03:01.360 It's so true.
00:03:02.580 It's very true what you're saying with the affordability.
00:03:04.640 I think the affordability is a real issue.
00:03:06.620 But I think a part of it, Tate, my opinion, to really get it to go, it's like even right now what he said the other day.
00:03:14.840 Hey, we're going to buy $200 billion of paper to cause interest rates to go lower.
00:03:22.900 That announcement alone brought the interest rates for, you know, 30 years to the lowest in three years.
00:03:29.040 It dropped about, yeah, Trump announces $200 billion bond purchase and bid to lower mortgage rates.
00:03:34.000 Do you know what my opinion is on what we need to do in long term, which will never happen?
00:03:37.580 It will never happen in America, never happen in America, not because of the election model that we have.
00:03:44.600 The benefit a monarchy has over a democracy, a monarchy, you have to think about what's good for the country in 40-year terms.
00:03:54.320 Yes.
00:03:54.740 20-year terms.
00:03:55.580 Yes.
00:03:56.180 Democracy, you have to think about, you got, every two years you have an election.
00:04:00.200 Midterm, presidential.
00:04:01.600 Midterm, presidential.
00:04:02.120 But it's like, man, what can I do to please that audience and these guys and those guys?
00:04:07.420 The truth of the matter is, you got to let it take a hit for a few years.
00:04:13.460 Like, it's like, if you want your body to naturally reproduce, and you've been on all this stuff, you're, you know, Mr. Olympia competitor, you got to get off of stuff to let the body reproduce testosterone again.
00:04:24.080 And the chance of that happening with any president in our lifetime, it's not going to happen.
00:04:28.880 You're completely right.
00:04:30.080 And we have to recognize patterns.
00:04:31.680 And I wonder, and I'm worried, because you study the fall of empires, right?
00:04:35.840 You study how all empires rise, and all the empires fall in the end.
00:04:39.960 And they all fall the same way.
00:04:41.320 The Roman Empire fell the same way.
00:04:43.140 Inflation, mass migration, disenfranchisement of the youth, young men not wanting to die for the country anymore, didn't want to join the army, no one having kids, birth rates, all the exact same problems we have.
00:04:56.380 You study it, and you go, wow, maybe empires do just rise, and they do just fall.
00:05:00.420 Well, how do we fix these things?
00:05:01.500 It's extremely difficult.
00:05:02.500 I don't have the answer, and nobody in human history has ever found the answer.
00:05:06.160 It's extremely hard to find.
00:05:07.980 But my worry is this, and I'm trying to plan for the future, right?
00:05:12.520 I, unfortunately, and I'm not saying this hyperbolically, you're trying to be a tough guy.
00:05:15.660 I have a strong belief there is a chance at any random moment that I get blasted and I'm gone, right?
00:05:20.600 So I have to plan for the future for my family, for my kids, for all the people I care about.
00:05:24.700 The American dream is the number one thing that unified this country.
00:05:29.560 The American dream is come here, live amongst people who don't think like you, who don't look like you, who don't talk like you, who have a different religion to you.
00:05:37.420 More importantly, and this is very important, they have a different version of history than you.
00:05:43.020 Your heroes are their villains, and their villains are your heroes.
00:05:47.560 You're completely different.
00:05:48.940 But if you obey the law, you can get rich.
00:05:51.840 And what we're starting to see is people wake up and go, wait, I can't get rich.
00:05:56.900 And wait, nobody's obeying the law.
00:05:59.280 So once you have that mass realization, once people realize that the laws in America, the courts, the judicial system, ICE, the police, DOJ, FBI, all of them are at the very brink of their capability and they still can't seem to stop the crime, that the laws aren't working and the system is broken, that the American dream isn't real because most people don't get rich.
00:06:22.360 What comes for this society?
00:06:23.960 What's unifying us?
00:06:25.060 Because let's talk about a country like Ukraine, which is corrupt head to toe, complete corruption.
00:06:30.320 But I actually have to give credit to the Ukrainians because they've been through so much shit.
00:06:34.940 No electricity, snowstorms, mass corruption scandals, a war, people getting dragged off the street.
00:06:41.180 And you know what you still see in Kiev?
00:06:42.980 People waiting in line.
00:06:44.940 You would not see.
00:06:46.000 We can't have a hurricane without a riot.
00:06:48.500 We can't have a hurricane without mass looting.
00:06:51.000 When there was a eclipse, I remember when there was last an eclipse three or four years ago, I saw something that scared me for America.
00:06:58.840 An eclipse was coming and all the countries were talking about where you can see the eclipse and for two minutes it's going to be dark, etc.
00:07:05.120 When the American government posted about the eclipse, it warned people about the possibility of crime.
00:07:10.960 At 1 p.m. in the fucking afternoon, it's going to be dark for two minutes.
00:07:14.000 You might die.
00:07:14.780 Is that how fragile our society has become?
00:07:18.560 And I'm saying this as a patriotic American.
00:07:21.800 I'm not trying to slander America.
00:07:23.780 I love America.
00:07:24.960 What I'm saying is if the American dream holds us together, then it's very important the American dream is real.
00:07:30.740 And it's not real anymore for many people.
00:07:33.720 And this is why they're turning to revolutionary acts, whether it be socialism, whether it be anti-Semitism, whether it be just straight criminality.
00:07:42.400 They think they have nothing to fucking lose.
00:07:44.260 And we need to fix society so the mean, so the average don't have that problem.
00:07:49.700 I'll give you another example.
00:07:50.500 People talk about birth rates.
00:07:51.440 Elon talks about birth rates all the time.
00:07:53.580 Birth rates, birth rates, birth rates.
00:07:54.860 I have kids.
00:07:55.880 You have kids.
00:07:56.660 You can have as many kids as you want.
00:07:58.180 Whenever you decide, you can have kids.
00:07:59.940 But you're not going to have a replacement birth rate unless the average man can have kids.
00:08:04.860 And unfortunately, the average man can't have kids because the average woman wants stuff the average man can't give.
00:08:11.040 That's the world we now live in.
00:08:12.380 How do you change that?
00:08:13.540 Exactly.
00:08:14.100 How do you change that?
00:08:14.740 This all ties into capitalism.
00:08:16.320 This all ties to all these other problems.
00:08:17.860 So Trump's trying his best.
00:08:19.440 But Trump is caught between a rock and a hard place.
00:08:21.800 Because if you piss off your oligarchy, now you have a whole new problem.
00:08:25.620 You cannot, as Donald Trump or the president, no matter how powerful you are, piss off every rich person in your country.
00:08:31.640 Let's talk about the Epstein list.
00:08:32.640 Last time I was here, I said to you, Vinny, I said, the reason he cannot release the Epstein list, why is he doing a cover-up of Epstein?
00:08:38.040 I'll tell you all why.
00:08:39.260 And I was right.
00:08:40.120 I said, whether you like it or not, whether Epstein did wrong things or not, you cannot lock up or investigate or publicly trial the most powerful, rich people in this nation.
00:08:50.160 You can't take hedge fund managers and drag them to jail over something that might have happened in 1996.
00:08:55.200 Your country implodes.
00:08:56.800 Trump knows that.
00:08:57.800 He knows he can't destroy his oligarchy.
00:09:00.260 And different countries deal with their oligarchy in different ways.
00:09:03.340 Venezuela's oligarchy sold them out because he didn't keep them happy enough.
00:09:06.040 He was letting them steal.
00:09:07.100 He was letting them all steal.
00:09:08.160 But they couldn't steal enough because you can't steal more than the American government's going to send you.
00:09:11.240 So they sold them out.
00:09:12.380 Putin deals with his oligarchy another way.
00:09:14.300 They fall out of fucking windows.
00:09:15.840 China deals with his oligarchy.
00:09:17.080 Well, they'll take Alibaba off your ass.
00:09:18.820 You'll disappear for three years and come back and be a fucking communist.
00:09:21.540 Everyone has to deal with their oligarchy.
00:09:23.420 And in America, the nicest of the countries, we try to keep them happy.
00:09:27.380 And unfortunately, to keep them happy, somebody's getting fucked.
00:09:30.320 And what I'm saying is if we don't keep the balance careful, where the oligarchy's happy and the people in the middle, not at the bottom, but the people in the middle feel like they stand a chance.
00:09:38.540 And the people in the middle get fucked too hard.
00:09:40.720 A revolution, whether it be anti-Semitic, whether it be socialism, whether it be communism, or whether it just be straight criminality, is coming for this nation.
00:09:49.380 That is a matter of time.
00:09:50.940 That is not a matter of maybe.
00:09:53.580 That's a matter of when.
00:09:55.360 And we need to fix that.
00:09:56.800 If young men could get a girlfriend and buy a house, anti-Semitism would disappear.
00:10:03.580 No.
00:10:04.060 Yes, it would.
00:10:05.360 All this online hatred towards Jews would disappear if young men could buy a house and get a girlfriend.
00:10:12.280 Actually, yes, it's that simple.
00:10:14.060 No, it's not.
00:10:14.560 Because young men are not sitting, I would argue, and you could please correct me.
00:10:17.180 The part about what he's saying is right.
00:10:19.200 Young men aren't sitting there.
00:10:20.480 I want to hear what you're saying, but he is, but he's, he's, he's, can the guy who deals with anti-Semitism weigh in on anti-Semitism?
00:10:29.540 Of course.
00:10:29.940 For a second guy?
00:10:30.940 Yes, sir.
00:10:31.640 Yes, sir.
00:10:32.280 There's so much, you know what, I love, by the way, shout out to PBD.
00:10:35.440 I'm getting messages, fresh and fibba.
00:10:37.840 Thank you for having this conversation.
00:10:39.540 Thank you for, by the way, message to the Democrats.
00:10:42.540 This is what grown men do who disagree, sit down and talk about stuff.
00:10:49.000 So, thank God we have PBD to say, Tate, I disagree, Vinny, blah, blah, blah.
00:10:53.600 And that's why we're actually friends.
00:10:55.260 This is what it is.
00:10:56.160 That's the whole point.
00:10:57.280 If the dinner, the six-hour dinner and drink-a-thon I had with Tristan Tate was on camera, it'd be viral right now.
00:11:02.920 Of course.
00:11:03.420 Thank you, Justin Waller, for that.
00:11:04.380 Thank you.
00:11:05.200 But anti-Semitism, I'm not even going to talk about that.
00:11:09.420 That's here.
00:11:10.000 That's never going to leave.
00:11:10.840 It is what it is.
00:11:11.320 It's been here thousands of years.
00:11:12.780 What I want to focus on are solutions for young men.
00:11:15.740 Because you asked, what can we do with the affordability problem?
00:11:18.080 Yeah.
00:11:18.280 What I love about you is there's so much I agree with with you.
00:11:21.620 Yeah.
00:11:21.860 And then there's so much things I'm like, shut up, Tate!
00:11:24.600 That's probably true.
00:11:25.640 And I'm like, what is...
00:11:26.620 I get that.
00:11:27.380 I get that.
00:11:27.880 What's the one thing that I'm like, I know more than Tate?
00:11:30.880 It's not kickboxing.
00:11:32.020 Yeah.
00:11:32.440 It's not chicks, maybe.
00:11:34.100 It's not, you know, world geopolitics.
00:11:37.260 It is America, though.
00:11:38.520 Of course.
00:11:38.900 You haven't lived here in 20 years.
00:11:41.120 That's true.
00:11:41.460 Yes or no?
00:11:42.740 Correct.
00:11:43.480 So the whole...
00:11:45.600 Here, at what age did you become a millionaire?
00:11:50.820 31.
00:11:51.720 31.
00:11:52.660 You beat me by four years.
00:11:54.160 35.
00:11:55.120 How broke were you at 21?
00:11:58.340 Oh, terrible.
00:11:59.920 I was driving a Mitsubishi Eclipse, and I was in it, $40,000.
00:12:03.800 So what changed...
00:12:04.280 Best days of your life, though.
00:12:05.260 Best days of your life.
00:12:06.780 You know, me and PBD...
00:12:07.840 Best days of your life.
00:12:08.920 Let me tell you this story.
00:12:09.760 He and Stark is great.
00:12:10.440 Of course.
00:12:12.180 Give us, God.
00:12:13.000 Being broke's better.
00:12:14.020 The best part of being rich is joking.
00:12:15.820 Remember when we were broke?
00:12:17.000 Of course.
00:12:17.480 PBD, one time we went and got water and lemons and sugar, and we made some lemonade.
00:12:22.820 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:12:23.960 And that's what you offer, Brad, but I became a thousandaire at 40.
00:12:28.900 And we can talk about me.
00:12:29.840 Anyway, go ahead.
00:12:30.640 Me, at 45, had to teach him what a stock was.
00:12:34.060 No, he didn't.
00:12:34.480 He said Roth IRA.
00:12:36.160 Financialized capital.
00:12:36.920 There you go.
00:12:38.000 But what changed in that 10 years?
00:12:40.280 My guess is literally everything.
00:12:42.200 Yeah.
00:12:42.800 Your mindset, your connections, who you're hanging out with.
00:12:45.320 Of course.
00:12:45.640 Jen, marriage, kids, right?
00:12:47.180 So for me, 25, I was my brokest friend.
00:12:50.280 Yep.
00:12:50.860 Living on my rich friend's couches.
00:12:52.800 Correct.
00:12:53.180 Which was helpful.
00:12:54.720 35, I became a millionaire.
00:12:56.080 Yes.
00:12:56.500 What age did you become a millionaire?
00:12:57.940 Around the same as Patrick, 31, 30.
00:12:59.900 So there's a uniformity here.
00:13:01.400 In your 30s is when you start to have money.
00:13:03.560 Correct.
00:13:05.160 The problem is...
00:13:06.120 But we weren't watching young men our age pull off impossible numbers.
00:13:09.560 No, no.
00:13:11.840 There's one guy.
00:13:13.560 You know what percentage of 21-year-olds are millionaires?
00:13:16.920 1%.
00:13:17.560 Of course.
00:13:18.300 So you're looking at the one guy.
00:13:19.940 Who's got the followers.
00:13:21.020 Because everyone's on social media.
00:13:22.480 That's right.
00:13:23.020 When I was 21, 25, in Miami, and I'm Jewish, I'm thinking, why can't I get all the money?
00:13:30.200 Why can't I get girls?
00:13:31.820 I didn't blame the Jews.
00:13:33.500 I'm a Jew.
00:13:34.180 Of course.
00:13:34.440 I said, I need to get to work.
00:13:36.040 I agree.
00:13:36.540 And I moved out of Miami.
00:13:37.700 Yeah.
00:13:37.860 And I moved to Boca, started off as a cold caller.
00:13:40.500 You're right.
00:13:40.940 Thousands and thousands and thousands of calls.
00:13:44.200 And that was in 2007, right before the meltdown.
00:13:47.820 Five years later, I'm pumping ironed in the gym.
00:13:50.680 Who do I meet?
00:13:51.500 This guy.
00:13:52.460 But don't you...
00:13:52.860 And he tells me, hold on.
00:13:54.000 He says, you're doing it all wrong, bro.
00:13:55.420 You got to...
00:13:56.120 Of course.
00:13:56.420 You ever see pictures of this guy?
00:13:57.260 So the challenge that young men need to understand is, you're not supposed to be rich at 21 or at 25.
00:14:04.680 What age did you become a champion in the kickboxing world?
00:14:08.320 What age?
00:14:08.940 What you're...
00:14:09.540 I first became world champion at 24.
00:14:12.140 But you're...
00:14:12.580 But that's...
00:14:13.260 And how many guys that you competed with wanted to become the champion?
00:14:17.780 Of course.
00:14:18.420 How many?
00:14:19.200 Everyone.
00:14:19.980 And how many became the champion?
00:14:21.140 One.
00:14:21.540 So most men are average.
00:14:25.000 And average men don't deserve the hottest women and the best houses.
00:14:29.600 Listen.
00:14:30.180 So here's my challenge with you.
00:14:31.460 Yeah.
00:14:31.980 You've identified the problem.
00:14:33.560 Yep.
00:14:34.620 The solution needs to be handled a little bit differently.
00:14:38.760 Here...
00:14:39.040 And I think you'll agree with me.
00:14:40.420 And then I'll make one last point.
00:14:41.700 Sure.
00:14:41.960 And then I'll let the great...
00:14:42.640 Adam, this is like...
00:14:43.400 It's a lot of points.
00:14:44.060 Oh, you're going to have me on a podcast and not talk?
00:14:46.180 No, this is not home team.
00:14:47.840 This is Tate.
00:14:48.860 Okay.
00:14:49.120 No, no, no, no.
00:14:49.720 You're treating it like a home team.
00:14:50.400 Make your point.
00:14:51.100 And I want to hear a taste point.
00:14:52.360 Of course.
00:14:52.860 But I want to pose the question because it's an actual important question.
00:14:55.260 With a nine-minute prelude?
00:14:58.340 Yes.
00:14:59.340 No, no.
00:15:00.420 Get to the point.
00:15:01.380 This is my point.
00:15:03.100 Would you rather get rich quick or build wealth slow?
00:15:05.900 I want to build wealth slow.
00:15:07.520 So we say future looks bright or future looks bleak.
00:15:10.800 In my opinion, you have two completely opposite talented people.
00:15:14.500 You have Charlie Kirk.
00:15:16.100 Yep.
00:15:17.040 And you have Nick Fuentes.
00:15:18.520 Yep.
00:15:18.720 One says, get married, have a family, have kids, put in the work.
00:15:24.200 It's going to take you some time.
00:15:25.520 Future looks bright.
00:15:26.600 One says, it's the Jews' fault.
00:15:28.640 This is what's going on.
00:15:29.940 Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah.
00:15:30.900 The stack, you can't buy a house.
00:15:32.480 The deck stacks against you.
00:15:33.800 Future looks bleak.
00:15:34.960 They're both smart.
00:15:36.020 They both have points.
00:15:37.360 What's the solution?
00:15:38.200 Okay, great point, and I completely understand you.
00:15:40.640 Thank you for letting me answer.
00:15:41.820 But the point I'm trying to make, I know you're completely right.
00:15:44.220 Anti-Semitism is on the rise, and so is socialism, all these things.
00:15:47.580 The point I'm making is that young men are angry, and anger must be directed somewhere,
00:15:51.640 at somebody.
00:15:52.820 Young men in the world today are very, very angry.
00:15:55.520 And understanding a situation or understanding a problem does give a degree of hope.
00:16:01.240 You're right.
00:16:01.860 Charlie, God rest his soul, was an optimist, and he was giving solutions.
00:16:06.720 And it's the same solution that Patrick, I, all of us give.
00:16:09.120 That's completely true, because we say, look, guys, the only way out is exceptionalism.
00:16:12.780 But if you're an average man, and for whatever reason you don't believe, or are incapable
00:16:16.400 of becoming exceptional, the best thing you can do then is at least, if you're trying
00:16:20.280 to cope, understand or look for understanding as to why you're getting fucked.
00:16:25.480 That's why Nick is popular.
00:16:27.420 I'm not saying he's right.
00:16:28.600 What I'm saying is people watch him and go, finally, it makes sense to me why I'm
00:16:33.100 getting wrecked.
00:16:34.240 It is, for us, as you quite correctly said, I'm a 40-year-old, I shouldn't have been in
00:16:38.740 that fucking club.
00:16:39.700 For us as older men to sit and say, okay, if you're a 22-year-old man and you believe
00:16:43.340 the system's screwing you, and that's a very tangible thing, you feel it and you see it.
00:16:47.440 You're looking for at least a reason why, even if you can't fix it, who should I be mad
00:16:51.560 at?
00:16:51.940 The world now in the West is a very angry place.
00:16:54.500 And the problem with the American dream specifically, because there's no such thing as a positive
00:16:59.120 without a negative.
00:16:59.900 Light and dark go together.
00:17:01.140 American exceptionalism is built on the American dream.
00:17:04.160 It's a great thing.
00:17:05.380 But the American dream also has a negative, because what binds America is money.
00:17:10.060 And the point I was making earlier about us all being different people is that in other
00:17:13.340 countries where the youth don't get rich, because you made a very important point, Adam, this
00:17:17.660 is the easiest place in the world to make money.
00:17:20.480 It is.
00:17:21.220 Easiest place in the world to make money.
00:17:22.280 And there's other countries where it's much harder to make money.
00:17:25.040 So why don't they have riots?
00:17:26.960 Because they think the same.
00:17:28.420 Because they talk the same language.
00:17:29.840 Because they have the same version of history.
00:17:31.560 Because they have the same religion.
00:17:33.020 Because they have a culture that unifies them.
00:17:35.040 And what I'm saying, the West now, not just America, the West has become so diluted.
00:17:39.560 Our culture is so thin.
00:17:41.440 There's nothing unifying us but money.
00:17:43.660 All we have is money.
00:17:45.640 That's it.
00:17:46.200 So if that's all we have, people need to be able to make it.
00:17:49.880 Individualism and not the warmth blanket of collectivism.
00:17:54.000 That's what it is.
00:17:55.180 Of course.
00:17:56.420 This PBD has taught me so much.
00:17:58.560 What do you say about capitalism?
00:18:00.160 Freedom to buy.
00:18:01.600 Freedom to sell.
00:18:02.400 Correct.
00:18:02.800 Freedom to try.
00:18:04.100 Freedom to fail.
00:18:05.220 Correct.
00:18:05.780 You know who fails?
00:18:07.060 Losers fail.
00:18:08.320 And that's the problem.
00:18:09.880 And we have this catch-all, you know, welfare state that losers are allowed to be losers.
00:18:15.180 The average, I would argue, and of course I know nothing, I'm a dummy.
00:18:20.140 I'm just a comedian.
00:18:21.160 No, I am.
00:18:21.680 No, I am a dummy.
00:18:22.720 I'm a dummy.
00:18:23.400 Stop it.
00:18:23.780 No, I am.
00:18:24.660 Nobody believes you're a dummy.
00:18:25.680 No, but I'm just going through life just observing things.
00:18:28.100 Yeah.
00:18:28.660 I live in Romania.
00:18:30.300 And I'll tell you something that I noticed something.
00:18:32.600 This is really weird.
00:18:33.420 I was in a town in Romania.
00:18:35.180 It's called Cluj-Napoca.
00:18:36.820 I'm sure no one's been.
00:18:37.740 But it's very beautiful.
00:18:38.720 Very safe town.
00:18:39.760 They have no money for police, but it's very safe.
00:18:42.920 Because culturally it's very safe.
00:18:44.200 It's just a safe place.
00:18:45.600 And if a song comes on, everybody, male and female, does the same dance.
00:18:50.940 And then if you go to a town two hours away, say you go to Brashov, and the same song comes
00:18:55.840 on, everybody does a different dance.
00:18:58.580 All of the people in the entire city, because they went to the same school, or they had the
00:19:03.180 same parents, or they speak the same language, all know the same dance.
00:19:07.380 To me that was remarkable.
00:19:08.900 I was like, we don't have that anywhere in the West, where a song comes on, and every
00:19:13.520 person in the entire place, male, female, old, young, they all know the same dance.
00:19:19.600 And what I'm saying is that if they all go broke in Romania or Ukraine, they're less likely
00:19:26.560 to go burn the whole place to the ground, because they all know the same dance.
00:19:30.580 Do you understand what I'm saying?
00:19:31.840 In America, we don't have this here.
00:19:35.340 And what I'm saying is, if money is our game, which is the basis of American exceptionalism,
00:19:41.960 that is a good thing.
00:19:43.400 We need to at least be able to make or allow most average people to in some way play the
00:19:49.840 game.
00:19:50.280 I'm not saying everyone has to be a trillionaire.
00:19:52.100 At least in some way play.
00:19:53.980 And I'll ask you guys, because you know better than me.
00:19:55.880 Adam quite correctly pointed out, I haven't been here for 20 years.
00:19:58.220 If you're a normal young man, and you go get an average job, can you buy a house?
00:20:03.560 It's a yes or no question.
00:20:04.600 Right now, it's very, very, very no.
00:20:06.900 If the answer is no, all I'm saying, and I could be wrong, is that we have big problems
00:20:12.480 coming.
00:20:13.060 Because when women get angry, as we all know, they nag and complain.
00:20:17.540 And when women go and protest, it's inconvenient.
00:20:20.660 But do you know what happens when millions of young men go protest?
00:20:23.560 It's called a revolution.
00:20:25.040 That is why the British government put me in jail, because I was an unchecked source
00:20:29.760 of influence, verbatim.
00:20:31.700 They said he has too much control over the military-aged population.
00:20:35.740 He can cause a riot.
00:20:37.260 He can get Westminster burnt down.
00:20:39.380 He must be stopped.
00:20:40.780 And you know what?
00:20:41.540 I'm so non-emotional about things.
00:20:43.540 I have to admit, it was prudent for MI6 to write that memo and send it to the Romanians.
00:20:49.120 It was prudent for them to sit and say, this guy could, at the time, I don't have that
00:20:53.540 power anymore.
00:20:54.000 In 2022, I could have said, Westminster, 8 p.m., and the place would be on fire.
00:20:59.380 And they didn't know my brain.
00:21:00.740 They don't know me.
00:21:01.600 They don't know I come across bombastic and crazy on the internet.
00:21:04.640 They thought this guy might literally burn it all to the ground.
00:21:07.280 Fix it.
00:21:07.900 It's actually prudent for a government to wreck me, as they did.
00:21:10.680 I'm not even emotional about it, even though I've done nothing wrong.
00:21:12.740 I get it.
00:21:13.780 But what I'm saying is, we have problems coming to America.
00:21:16.220 The average 22-year-old would start this whole conversation, as Patrick asked.
00:21:19.500 The answer, the true answer to the question, is exceptionalism.
00:21:22.080 But for a society, the social contract can't be purely based around exceptionalism, because
00:21:29.060 we've already seen it.
00:21:30.460 Isn't New York, wasn't New York the most capitalistic city in the world?
00:21:34.880 Used to be.
00:21:35.580 Didn't the communists just win?
00:21:37.680 Are we all going to sit here and ignore the trend?
00:21:40.680 Are we all going to sit here and go, ah, you know, and you know what I love about all
00:21:44.800 you guys, and I love it, especially when Patrick says it on his videos, the future looks bright.
00:21:48.580 Correct.
00:21:48.940 The future is bright, because we're not pessimists, and we'll find a way, and we'll
00:21:51.640 sort it out.
00:21:52.360 But for the future to be bright, we need to at least pay attention to where we're going.
00:21:55.880 Our drive isn't bright if we drive with our eyes closed.
00:21:58.540 And we are heading into a nightmare.
00:22:00.180 And the nightmare is because young men are angry, looking for someone to blame.
00:22:04.140 So when I say anti-Semitism would go away if a man could get a girlfriend in a house,
00:22:08.320 I argue that's true, because these young men are furious, and they are bored, and they
00:22:13.760 are at home with nothing to do, and no way out.
00:22:16.660 I agree that the percentage of the complaining would decrease.
00:22:21.840 Yes.
00:22:22.080 I don't know if it's permanently going to go away.
00:22:23.680 There's always going to be the argument, well, here's what happened.
00:22:25.640 People are always going to hate me for being half black.
00:22:27.920 I get white, these groepers and these anti-Semites, they message me, oh, who knew you're black,
00:22:35.320 your mom race mixes, who cares?
00:22:37.860 But you know what I never hear that from?
00:22:39.680 Rich people.
00:22:40.880 I only hear it from broke people.
00:22:42.740 When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury, we had the choice
00:22:49.280 to make it fast, we had the choice to make it cheap.
00:22:52.680 We chose neither.
00:22:54.280 Instead, we chose Tuscaneer.
00:22:55.920 We chose true Italian craftsmanship, each pair touched by 50 skilled hands.
00:23:02.080 We chose patience, spending two years perfecting every detail, and we chose the finest quality
00:23:07.580 at every step, introducing the Future Looks Bright collection.
00:23:13.220 Not rushed, not disposable, not ordinary.
00:23:17.460 Rather intentional, luxurious, timeless.
