00:00:00.000 This is not the Great Depression.
00:00:24.860 Let me say this one more time.
00:00:25.820 We are not living in times even close to the Great Depression.
00:00:29.560 Not even remotely close to the Great Depression.
00:00:32.380 Here's why.
00:00:33.640 You hear a lot of experts,
00:00:34.900 Well, this is close to the Great Depression.
00:00:36.160 Let me tell you what we're going through.
00:00:37.080 Here's what the prediction is.
00:00:38.620 Yes, we have 14.7% unemployment today.
00:00:41.960 Yes, 30 million people apply for unemployment.
00:00:44.580 But during the Great Depression,
00:00:46.380 people didn't have money to eat food.
00:00:49.660 During the Great Depression,
00:00:51.360 millions on top of millions of businesses
00:00:53.660 were going out of business.
00:00:55.740 No one was being bailed out.
00:00:57.260 The only thing they did during the Great Depression
00:00:58.860 is a minimum wage of a quarter,
00:01:00.620 which FDR came out with,
00:01:01.880 and Social Security,
00:01:03.100 which FDR came out with.
00:01:04.080 Social Security was for the elderly folks.
00:01:06.140 And then minimum wage to get Ford
00:01:07.980 to start paying their people more
00:01:09.320 and change it from 69 hours a week
00:01:11.300 that we're working at Ford
00:01:12.180 to making it 40 hours a week being full-time.
00:01:14.680 That's some of the things that took place.
00:01:16.660 Not a $3 trillion bailout.
00:01:19.100 Not a $1,200 check being sent to everybody.
00:01:21.080 Not an unemployment check just being approved
00:01:23.760 left around and being sent to everybody.
00:01:25.220 Not all these checks that are being sent
00:01:27.500 to small business owners
00:01:28.500 or these major companies that are being bailed out.
00:01:31.200 That's not happening.
00:01:32.040 Now, Pelosi's talking about the second round
00:01:33.960 of stimulus that's coming out.
00:01:35.320 No, this is not the Great Depression.
00:01:37.340 By the way, it may not even be 2008
00:01:39.100 because in 2008,
00:01:40.900 Bear Stearns went out of business.
00:01:42.480 Lehman Brothers.
00:01:43.880 You had Countrywide went out of business.
00:01:47.680 You have companies that have been around.
00:01:49.800 You're talking about WAMU
00:01:51.420 that was a $330 billion company in 05
00:01:53.960 according to Fortune Magazine
00:01:55.020 was bought by Chase for $1.9 billion.
00:01:57.300 You're talking about a lot of companies
00:01:58.500 went out of business.
00:01:59.640 We're not seeing that today.
00:02:00.780 Why am I sharing this with you?
00:02:01.940 Here's why I'm sharing this with you.
00:02:03.840 A lot of people the last few days have called me
00:02:05.600 and they've said things like,
00:02:06.480 oh my gosh, Pat, I feel so bad.
00:02:07.740 They took that Judy Mikevitz interview down
00:02:09.380 and what do you think you're being this?
00:02:10.600 And you think you're being labeled?
00:02:11.560 I'm like, no, not at all.
00:02:12.500 It's just a video that was taken down.
00:02:14.320 Yeah, but I feel so bad for you.
00:02:15.620 I'm like, don't feel bad for me.
00:02:16.920 I'm the luckiest man alive.
00:02:18.280 I've got a great family.
00:02:19.780 I'm doing good.
00:02:20.660 I'm living in a country that gives me freedoms.
00:02:24.180 I'm running businesses.
00:02:25.180 I have great friends around me.
00:02:26.360 I'm still healthy.
00:02:27.760 You know, my kids still love me.
00:02:29.440 I am very lucky, man.
00:02:31.000 You do not need to feel bad for me.
00:02:32.960 But what is happening today
00:02:35.200 is a lot of the media
00:02:37.420 is making people feel bad for themselves.
00:02:40.140 And no one does good in their lives
00:02:41.900 when they start feeling bad for themselves.
00:02:43.280 You're not productive
00:02:43.860 when you're feeling bad for yourself.
00:02:44.820 Because nobody wants to follow somebody
00:02:46.980 who's feeling bad for themselves.
00:02:48.320 Who does?
00:02:49.140 No one does.
00:02:50.800 There's the last dance.
00:02:52.160 There's a part in the last dance
00:02:53.440 where the Bulls are facing off the Pistons.
00:02:57.600 And this is the Game 7
00:02:58.360 when Scottie Pippen
00:02:59.380 starts having anxiety attacks
00:03:01.140 and he says he was not feeling good,
00:03:03.200 but he starts having anxiety attacks
00:03:04.560 and he doesn't show up in the 7th game.
00:03:06.420 The Bulls are supposed to beat the Pistons.
00:03:08.300 He doesn't show up.
00:03:09.380 The Bulls lose.
00:03:10.700 Jordan comes back.
00:03:11.540 He says that entire offseason
00:03:12.760 he worked on Pippen's mindset
00:03:14.060 to make him tougher.
00:03:15.680 Next year, they go into playoffs.
00:03:17.840 They're facing the Pistons.
00:03:19.320 It's the last game
00:03:20.600 that they're about to beat the Pistons.
00:03:22.140 He goes for a layup.
00:03:23.720 Boom!
00:03:24.180 Rodman fouls him
00:03:25.020 and shoves him in the audience.
00:03:27.580 Pippen's on the ground for a few seconds.
00:03:30.100 Everyone's watching him.
00:03:31.780 Pippen got up
00:03:32.600 and the Pistons even said
00:03:34.360 when Pippen got up
00:03:35.600 he showed no hurt.
00:03:37.520 You can't hurt me.
00:03:38.960 When they shot the free throws
00:03:40.140 they beat him.
00:03:41.720 It was game over.
00:03:42.800 They didn't even shake their hands.
00:03:44.200 You know what the message was?
00:03:45.400 You can't hurt me, Pistons.
00:03:48.760 You cannot hurt me.
00:03:50.740 They won the championship.
00:03:52.420 Six of them.
00:03:53.860 Six.
00:03:55.340 Two three-peats
00:03:56.360 is what the Bulls did.
00:03:57.920 You cannot hurt me.
00:04:00.060 We need that message today.
00:04:02.040 Not everything can hurt me.
00:04:03.260 Oh my gosh, I'm afraid.
00:04:04.640 No one follows anybody
00:04:05.940 that's showing hurt.
00:04:07.780 I'm not saying you're not hurt.
00:04:09.560 I'm not saying go be a robot.
00:04:11.460 Yes, sometimes I'm on myself
00:04:12.640 in my car
00:04:13.140 and I have some emotional
00:04:13.880 conversations with myself.
00:04:15.320 Yes, sometimes I'm alone
00:04:16.320 and I see my kid
00:04:17.640 that's worried about
00:04:18.280 not going back to school
00:04:19.100 spending time with his kids.
00:04:20.280 Yes, I know that happens.
00:04:21.540 I'm not expecting my kids
00:04:22.560 to be robots.
00:04:23.440 I'm not expecting my wife
00:04:24.580 to be a robot.
00:04:25.420 I'm not expecting my
00:04:26.440 employees here to be robots.
00:04:28.040 We have feelings.
00:04:28.900 We have emotions.
00:04:29.740 But we don't show hurt.
00:04:32.300 Because when you show hurt
00:04:33.660 other spirits enter your body.
00:04:35.260 I don't want any of those spirits
00:04:36.420 to enter this body
00:04:37.580 not the Ben David family
00:04:38.840 and it shouldn't enter your body.
00:04:41.060 What for?
00:04:42.660 Fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear.
00:04:45.420 Stop it media already.
00:04:47.420 It's too much.
00:04:49.040 Look, when I was a kid
00:04:50.060 I was living in Iran
00:04:50.880 and I was always worried.
00:04:54.680 Always worried.
00:04:55.640 What's going to happen to our lives?
00:04:56.680 I love my sister.
00:04:57.460 I love my mom.
00:04:58.040 I love my...
00:04:58.400 What if something happens to us?
00:05:00.360 I don't want to live my life
00:05:01.420 without the people
00:05:01.980 I love the most.
00:05:03.140 You think about those things.
00:05:05.660 And the system I had
00:05:07.080 to help me overcome this
00:05:08.180 was very simple.
00:05:09.520 All my relatives
00:05:10.340 who were going to Austria
00:05:11.340 they got their visas
00:05:12.100 their green card
00:05:12.600 they go to Austria
00:05:13.280 or France or Germany
00:05:14.300 to eventually come to America.
00:05:15.880 All of them.
00:05:16.960 They would have these parties
00:05:17.800 and we'd go to them.
00:05:19.620 And I would sit there
00:05:20.140 and say oh my gosh
00:05:20.740 I know we don't have
00:05:21.280 our green card or visa yet
00:05:22.300 oh and I can't wait
00:05:23.540 to one day go to America.
00:05:24.460 I can't wait to one day go to...
00:05:25.640 I can't wait for us
00:05:26.540 to have that kind of freedom.
00:05:27.740 I can't wait for it.
00:05:29.040 I am so looking forward to it.
00:05:31.220 In my mind
00:05:31.880 I was living in the future.
00:05:32.860 You know the saying
00:05:33.380 that they say
00:05:33.920 if you live in the past
00:05:35.260 you will be depressed.
00:05:36.720 If you live in the future
00:05:37.740 you'll have panic attacks.
00:05:39.240 If you live in the present
00:05:40.200 you'll be calm.
00:05:41.600 Today is not a bad time
00:05:43.100 to live in the future
00:05:44.040 a little bit.
00:05:44.760 What do I mean by this?
00:05:45.840 I'm looking forward to Christmas
00:05:47.220 even though it's
00:05:48.140 seven months from now.
00:05:49.360 I'm looking forward to Christmas.
00:05:51.440 You have no idea
00:05:51.940 how much I'm looking forward
00:05:52.700 to Christmas.
00:05:53.820 I'm looking forward
00:05:54.360 because we had a great Christmas
00:05:55.580 this last year.
00:05:56.160 Maybe one of the best ever.
00:05:57.720 I'm looking forward to 2021.
00:05:59.620 I'm looking forward
00:06:00.520 to the next 10 years.
00:06:01.720 I'm looking forward.
00:06:03.520 I'm optimistic.
00:06:05.240 I am looking forward.
00:06:06.240 Now, oh my gosh
00:06:06.960 I can't believe
00:06:07.300 what's going to happen.
00:06:07.820 No, no.
00:06:08.240 I'm looking forward
00:06:09.260 to the future.
00:06:10.160 You ought to look forward
00:06:10.920 to the future.
00:06:12.280 It'll spin and confuse
00:06:13.860 that emotion of victim
00:06:15.580 feel sorry for me.
00:06:16.600 Oh my gosh
00:06:17.180 I'm scared.
00:06:17.820 I'm hurt.
00:06:18.540 No.
00:06:18.980 It'll flip it.
00:06:20.040 See what it does to you.
00:06:21.300 Start talking about it
00:06:22.100 with your wife and kids
00:06:22.800 your husband
00:06:23.220 your brother, sister
00:06:24.520 boyfriend, girlfriend
00:06:25.100 mom, dad
00:06:25.640 everybody
00:06:25.900 you know I'm excited
00:06:26.620 about 2021.
00:06:27.720 I'm excited about it.
00:06:28.600 They'll be confused.
00:06:31.080 They'll say
00:06:31.280 what are you talking about?
00:06:32.320 Are you not watching the news?
00:06:33.780 Mom, I'm just excited
00:06:34.640 about the future mom.
00:06:35.640 Test it out.
00:06:36.860 Call them and do it today
00:06:37.640 and see what happens.
00:06:38.620 People will be confused.
00:06:40.400 I am excited
00:06:41.660 about the future.
00:06:42.500 Can you tell?
00:06:43.400 I'm excited.
00:06:44.140 I'm genuinely excited
00:06:45.620 about the future
00:06:46.860 because this ain't
00:06:48.300 no Great Depression
00:06:49.160 and even if it was
00:06:51.020 we overcame
00:06:51.800 the Great Depression.
00:06:54.780 Today people
00:06:55.460 are being bailed out.
00:06:57.280 We're going to go back
00:06:57.920 to normal
00:06:58.360 very soon.
00:06:59.560 People are going to be
00:07:00.020 weirded out a little bit
00:07:01.400 on airlines
00:07:01.960 and airports
00:07:02.400 and planes
00:07:03.020 and all this other stuff.
00:07:04.280 Some of the industries
00:07:05.040 are going to take
00:07:05.500 a little longer
00:07:05.940 to recover.
00:07:07.000 Some companies
00:07:07.680 are going to take hits
00:07:08.420 because we have not
00:07:09.340 allowed people
00:07:10.020 to go be around
00:07:10.700 to get it.
00:07:11.200 So hotel business
00:07:12.000 anything that's going to be
00:07:12.940 a lot of people
00:07:13.760 being around each other
00:07:14.840 concerts
00:07:15.260 some of these things.
00:07:15.920 Yeah, some of that's
00:07:16.480 going to happen.
00:07:17.760 We're going to go back
00:07:18.560 to normal eventually.
00:07:20.040 Don't let these people
00:07:20.820 confuse you
00:07:21.400 that it's just
00:07:21.960 constant end of the world
00:07:23.600 type of stuff.
00:07:24.480 That gets viewership
00:07:25.800 but that's not leadership.
00:07:27.900 I'm more concerned
00:07:28.760 about leadership
00:07:29.460 than viewership.
00:07:30.720 This video is not
00:07:31.540 going to do that good
00:07:32.280 but I'm telling you
00:07:33.340 what I believe
00:07:34.100 that we need to hear.
00:07:35.580 It would do much better
00:07:36.740 if I gave you
00:07:37.500 some bunch of things
00:07:38.380 to be afraid about.
00:07:40.220 Ten times more views.
00:07:41.860 Not solving for views.
00:07:43.580 I'm solving for leadership.
00:07:45.260 So, my challenge to you
00:07:46.920 is very simple.
00:07:48.940 Chin up
00:07:49.480 impose confidence
00:07:51.340 don't show hurt
00:07:52.600 put things in perspective
00:07:54.140 and lead the people
00:07:55.600 in your life
00:07:56.680 and eventually
00:07:57.680 everything
00:07:58.720 will work itself out.
00:08:00.420 Thanks everybody
