Jamal do you hear that freeberg got
busted looking at porn on his
computer no I did not you got busted
looking at porn you want to know what it
was yeah it was Elon of AES Wall Street
Journal off that it was I lost it oh man
was too good I think he was pleasuring
himself to that
off skin flute what happened you had to
go for a quick game of pocka pool how's
you oh my God it was it was too exciting
you were beating the bishop Allison came
in and just like wondering what was
going on she grabbed my computer she
looked at it and it was an
essay let your winners
[Music]
ride we open sources to the fans and
they've just gone crazy
[Music]
withen all right before we get to Doge
we got a little housekeeping a little
Housey housekeeping you know we're
getting into the holiday spirit here
it's Episode 205 we're in year 4 and
we're having a Christmas party it's
going to be great the Allin Holiday
Spectacular is happening in San
Francisco on Saturday December 7th I
think the VIP sold out there's still
some tickets left go to allin.com
events and uh if you can't make it to
San Francisco I think you can buy a a
ticket for $50 on uh on the uh Zoom I
think we're going to have it on Zoom is
that right am do I have my fact straight
there
freeberg yeah there's going to be a live
stream thanks to zoom for setting this
up for us it's kind of interesting
they're doing this thing where you could
you kind of you know get access to Live
Events so they're helping us get this
set up if you want to watch the the
stream live on Zoom anything's possible
it could be spicy true that true that
all right listen bestie Elon and bestie
V wrote an OP ED a barn burner in the
Wall Street Journal about Doge the
department of government efficiency and
they laid it out they want to cut
overbearing and unnecessary regulation
obviously they want to cut unnecessary
administrative roles save taxpayers
money they want to run it by Founders
not politicians helping the Trump
transition team find a way to hire quote
a lean team of small government
Crusaders team's going to work closely
with the White House Office of
Management and budget here's the plan
First Take Aim at 500 billion in annual
F Federal expenditures that are
unauthorized by Congress then fix the
government's procurement process by
conducting massive audits during
temporary payment suspensions this is an
interesting Playbook that Elon has done
before so basically suspend all the
payments and hey let everybody audit
those payments Drive change through
executive action based on existing
legislation rather than passing new laws
and two two scotus rulings are going to
play a major role here West Virginia
versus EPA that's when scotus ruled that
federal agencies can't impose
regulations dealing with major economic
or policy questions unless Congress
authorizes them to do so and Looper
brigh versus Rondo that's from 2024 and
that overturned the Chevron Doctrine we
talked about that on a previous episode
so according to Doge when combined quote
these cases suggest that a plethora of
current Federal Regulations exceed The
Authority Congress has granted under the
law do will use software and legal
experts to create a list of regulations
that Trump can immediately pause they're
going to make some sort of a leaderboard
Elon said
and vake said he would do he suspended
his existing podcast I didn't know he
had a podcast but he's doing a doge cast
a doge podcast and so freeberg this has
been you know a major issue for you you
you've been talking about on this
podcast
the unsustainable existential issue for
our country is all of the debt we have
what are the chances that this is going
to occur because obviously we all know
the machine is going to fight to
preserve the machine chances that we are
sitting here in four years and we've
seen meaningful Cuts in spending and a
meaningful reduction in size of the
government look it it Doge has probably
18 months to do what they can do before
the midterms and there's going to be an
inevitable amount of recoil and backlash
that's going to arise from the actions
that they're going to try and take and
president Trump's going to try and take
uh under the uh recommendations provided
by Doge um so they need to move fast and
aggressively and that's only going to
cause The Recoil to be harder and and
faster there's going to be a ton of
litigation obviously everything's going
to go to court it's going to be um
incredibly politicized what is
frustrating and challenging to me is
that there is nothing that they said
that doesn't seem obvious and right I
don't know how you can politicize the
points that they're making put aside
their party put aside who they are
individually put aside how we got here
at the end of the day this federal
government needs to be run more
efficiently more effectively it is
unfair and it is a tax on every one of
us to have money thrown away to have
wasted Capital to have bureaucracy that
gets in the way of people being able to
do their jobs it is a tax on all of us
and our kids and our future it needs to
be fixed if it doesn't get fixed as I've
said countless times before we are in an
arithmatic debt depth spiral there is no
way out of it so by resolving both the
inefficiency reducing the bureaucracy
stopping the wasteful spending having
accountability in the or in the
government we can actually get the
United States another 50 years a 100
years whatever long we want but we were
literally in a death spiral leading up
to this moment and I have no idea how we
ended up on this time timeline I was
over the moon and shocked when I read
all of the progress over the last couple
of weeks and putting this thing together
I did not know that this is where we
would end up I couldn't be more happy
with what I think is going to happen
with Doge and its effect on if not
actually making the changes shining a
light on the issues that need to be
addressed and I will say it is unfair to
Americans for this to be politicized the
Democrats shouldn't make this a
republican issue this is not about
Republicans doing damage this is about
doing the right thing for the government
for the country and the Democrats had an
opportunity to own this issue and
instead they've chosen to oppose it
which makes no sense it is frustrating
and challenging to me as an American to
think that this is even a political
point this should be a what's right for
America point it's almost like we're
going to war war with ourselves with our
bureaucracy with the morass that's been
built up over the last couple of decades
and I'm thrilled that this is happening
and frankly put the put the people aside
maybe it's the fact that you need people
that are as outspoken as challenging as
difficult as these two particular
individuals are going to run this group
but that might be what it takes for it
to happen in the small 18mon window that
they have so I don't know that's my rant
on it yeah great rant and uh we had a
Milton fredman clip go viral and he
spoke exactly about his positions on
what he would eliminate departments like
agriculture Commerce education let's
just play that clip and then there was
obviously the Malay interview by Lex
Freeman earlier this week keep them or
abolish them Department of Agriculture
abolish gone Department of Commerce
abolish gone Department of Defense keep
keep it Department of Education abolish
gone energy abolish Health and Human
Services there is room for some public
health activities to prevent uh uh
contagion will'll eliminate half of the
Department of Health and Human Service
okay one half there we go Housing and
Urban Development down done that's gone
Department of the Interior the problem
there is you first have to sell off all
the land that the government owns but
that's what you should do it could be
done pretty quickly you should do
Department of Justice oh yes keep that
one keep that one labor no gone State
keep keep it Transportation Gone Gone
the treasury you have to keep it to
collect taxes all right collect taxes
through the treasury sax you see that
clip you see the activity going on with
Doge do you think that the machine will
allow what Milton Freeman is describing
there what Javier Malay is doing in
Argentina and what Elon is proposing
with Doge do you think the machine's
going to
allow you know the
wholesale deleting of Department of
Agriculture Department of Education at a
federal level and move all that stuff to
the states what do you think's going to
happen here and how hard will the
machine fight back against this in your
mind because hey you might have some
Republicans some Democrats they fought
really hard to get jobs to get subsidies
to put in factories whatever from the
federal government are they going to
just give that all back the clip is from
1998 by the way Sach your
thoughts well that Milton Freeman clip
as great as it is I mean it really is
outstanding is setting expectations a
little bit too high here I mean we're
not going to be able to wipe out entire
major Departments of the government that
are cabinet level positions I don't
think that's in the cards what mil
Freeman's basically describing as a
night Watchman State and I don't think
we're going to get back to that however
if you look right now at the opinions on
the Legacy Media msdnc CNN all that kind
of stuff they are forecasting that doge
is going to amount to nothing they're
basically saying that the powers that be
in Washington are going to rejected
completely there's somehow going to be a
falling out between Elon and djt they're
just very cynical gjt and then you have
people who are not
necessarily dismissive in that way in
the media but just kind of longtime
Wasington insiders who feel like they've
seen it all before and nothing ever
happens and so they're just very jaded
and cynical so I would say that you know
again I wouldn't have the expectations
of the Milton Freeman level but I think
that the expectations for Doge right now
are being set incredibly Low by the
media and by the Washington insiders and
I think there are good reasons to
believe that the results will surpass
those those low
expectations number one is you've got
Elon Musk running this thing with fa and
Elon understands better than anybody the
impact of delarius regulations on
business so he can really put a
microscope on that he's got the largest
speech platform in the world with x the
largest account on X and he's also built
a get out the vote operation that he
funded in the last election that he's
promised to keep around and potentially
expand so his influence hopefully is not
going anywhere he's going to be able to
keep using that to help keep politicians
on side here right yeah so that's number
one is no one's ever made money betting
against Elon Musk and I don't expect
that to start right now number two is
you got V who is co-head with Elon of
this thing and I think he's a perfect
partner for Elon because V first of all
he's a brilliant guy with a lot of
success in business but he's also a
Harvard trained lawyer he's a brilliant
legal mind and I think you could see in
that oped I suspect the parts that were
citing all those Court decisions were
his influence and so they figured out a
legal road map here it's not just a
matter of kind of going to Congress and
hoping Congress acts they've got a way
here sequentially to do this through the
executive branch through executive
orders going through the court system
they've kind of got a game plan here
that's not entirely reliant on
legislation so I think think
the's influence and and sort of legal
strategic mind is a is a big asset here
and then I think the third reason to be
optimistic is just the fact that this
was printed on the Wall Street Journal
oped page is suggestive in and of itself
what this shows is that this Doge effort
is I think uniting both the kind of
populist reformers and the establishment
types within the party if Elon and aake
were're trying to get a mandate for no
more Forever War I don't think the Wall
Street Journal will be publishing that
right just would not happen so there are
are reasons to believe that this will
not actually divide the party that the
party could building yeah could be yeah
now look every congressman and every
Senator is still going to advocate for
their pork barrel project in their
District or their state and it's going
to be very hard to push back on that
however you could imagine a process like
we had with the base closure commission
when the United States needed to close a
bunch of military bases and they created
a an outside commission to recommend the
cuts and everyone kind of shared the
pain equally maybe do could somehow play
into that for trade a bit yeah so I'm
not saying it's going to be perfect but
I do think that if
Republicans share a principle across
again both these establishment and the
populace side it would be in reducing
unnecessary regulation and the number of
regulators needed the number of
government employees needed to enforce
all those regulations so I'm hopeful
that they'll be able to get something
done within the party and since the
Republicans have the trifecta if they've
got Trump's leadership and they've got
the leadership of the Senate and House
backing it I think they'll be able to
get something done again it's not GNA be
it's not gonna be Milton Freeman level
but I'm optimistic they'll get something
good and important done I think the
easiest thing for them to get done with
doge is the naming the shaming the
auditing the transparency of what we're
actually spending because so many of the
audits Jam off are just not completed
people don't know what's being spent and
if you show Americans a $112,000 hammer
or people with job titles not coming
into the office or coming into the
office one day a week one day a month
that's going to infuriate taxpayers and
I think there's a very easy way to
navigate all this you just create the
leaderboard and you not only shame
people who are wasting our tax dollars
you celebrate the people who are heroes
Who start showing frugality and cost and
they're going to do this with a
leaderboard of the heroes and the goats
this could be the unifying not just the
Republican party as as sax is pointing
out shof I think this could unify the
whole country is there anybody paying
taxes that wants to see money wasted
that wants to see us pay people high
salaries to not come to work shath
what's your take on the sequence of
events here what are easy layups that
they could actually get done and then
where is the machine going to fight and
try to stop this thing I think you
are highlighting something that they can
do right away which I think is very
powerful which is just using these
distribution channels that Elon has now
to create a massive layer of
accountability I do think that Sunshine
is a really incredible disinfectant I
think the best way that they could start
if possible is to stop paying their
vendors until you actually have some
amount of accounting to figure out as
you said how many $600 soap dispensers
are actually being bought and sold now
that kind of whatever you want to call
that corruption or grift it's not going
to account for hundreds of billions or
trillions of dollars but I do think that
it is a very moral and symbolic win that
says we're going we're going to start to
get much more rational and it starts to
allow the average American to actually
feel like they have a little bit of
control and they have a more vested
interest
in how the governments M but I want to I
actually want to take a step back for a
second and before I talk about what Doge
can do I just want to highlight
something that's been going on in
California because I think it it
explains a lot in California and I'm
just going to read this St because it's
incredible the regulatory burden in
California as a state from 1997 to 2015
this is when the data is available that
I found has increased by almost 50%
as of May of
2022 there are almost
61,000 individual regulations in the
state of California so what does that
mean and where does it come from and
Nick if you can just put out the tweet
it has happened over a period of time in
which the government has been the
absolute singular source of employment
in the
state and we talked about this before
where this is also a problem at the
federal level when you look at GDP and
job growth because it looks like a lot
of these jobs are actually fake
manufactured government type jobs so why
is this a problem you've seen in
California the issue that we have is
that if you
have a growth in the number of employees
in this case in California all the job
growth in recent memory has been state
employees what is the byproduct
regulations go up what is the byproduct
of that there are actually no private
sector jobs and more to the point the
private sector flees so now let's bubble
that up and look at the federal
government Nick if you want to just show
that chart that I that I sent you what
is incredible jcal is that the more
people are hired by the
government lo and behold what do you see
the number of regulations issued by
federal agencies has just continued
unabated year in year out you cannot run
a country like
this
so these accumulate right Congress is
doing less and less of a job actually
trying to frame how the country should
work that white space is filled in as
freeberg said by these federal agencies
it compounds and accumulates this is not
replacing laws none of these regulations
have expiry dates and so as a result I
think what you probably have is an
incredible restraint on the US economy I
think that the US economy could be
growing at four or
5% but the reason that it doesn't grow
at four or 5% is in that one single
chart it is impossible to be able to
live up to your economic potential when
you have this burden on your neck so I
think the real opportunity for doge is
to basically do whatever it needs to do
using the law to wipe as many of these
regulations off the books we are better
cutting them all to zero and then
finding the ones we really need and then
repassing those then we are going at
this peace meal and there's some incred
there's some incredible ideas by the way
that this creates Nick I don't know if
you can find this tweet but Doge asked
what people think of the
IRS and there was an enormous amount of
activity that essentially said give us a
flat tax and wipe out the tax
code and people were very flexible in
the of tax that they were willing to pay
but could you imagine the
simplification in the tax code and the
implications of that I was in Singapore
by the way 10 days ago when I started my
trip Nick beep out the name of the
person I'm about to say but I had a long
meeting with who you know is there and I
was asking him the
complexity of dealing with taxes he's
like what do you mean we don't we pay a
very simple tax system there's no
capital gains in Singapore and so as a
result our filing requirements are diim
small but as a result people like him
meaning great entrepreneurs can spend
all their time thinking about what to
build not how not tax optimization
exactly not or how to account for it so
could you imagine if these guys
basically use Doge as a mechanism to
shrink the tax code create a flat tax
potentially I know that that has to be
passed by Congress I understand that but
the idea of just cutting this all the
way down and then finding through that
process what you actually need I think
can find America 100 200 basis points of
GDP growth it could be an economic
Renaissance I mean just to build on that
cutting all the regulations to zero you
might have throw out some babies in the
bath water so why not put a clock on
them and just say whenever this was
enacted plus five years and then it
rolls off or plus two years whatever
number of months and then you could have
them Cham rolling off every month to be
but it I think that's a good idea but
Jal I think you first have to cancel all
these regulations and then say whatever
we need we will reenact P your point on
a five-year shock clock that then has to
be renewed in a new Congressional period
And I think that that's extremely
healthy well because you know what
people die paradigms shift and then
nobody even remembers these regulations
you have to do archaeology to figure out
who created this what was the intent and
you would never do that you would never
live Sachs with all of these rules
forever just one last comment In
fairness to these government
employees the one thing is that it's not
their fault right meaning in the sense
that they were hired into a regime where
the incentive was to regulate so that
you had things to oversee and so they
did their job in fact I would say they
did their job incredibly well but the
point is that now we need to Pivot for
them to do a totally different job well
chath I'll hand this over to free
freeberg freeberg if you were to get R
rid of regulations as somebody working
in the government you might work your
way out of a job so the incentive is
completely perverse and revers to what
we actually need in the country Which is
less regulation more thoughtful
regulation and some process by taking
these things on and off the books and
adapting them to reality yeah this is
where I
think I think we've talked about this
many many times in the past but like all
organizations have a natural tendency to
grow they they want to grow they're not
yes like find me one nonprofit or find
me one University or find me one company
or one government agency that's ever
said my job is to shrink myself it's
never happened so why does that happen
well if you look at the like daytoday
operating role of each individual over
time like all individuals they want to
do more they want to have a bigger
impact they want to have more scale they
want to have more leverage so there's
this natural set of incentives that
drives a lot of choices and operating
procedures on the ground that create
more
more scale more leverage and drive more
hiring everyone wants to become a
manager of people they don't want to
just be doing the same IC job forever
individual contributor job forever so if
they want to be a manager they got to
find more stuff to do and then they got
to hire people to do that stuff so all
of these organizations whether again and
we've all been on Boards of nonprofits
I'm sure and we've all been involved in
this sort of thing there's always this
like incentive to raise more Capital to
hire more people to do more stuff that
sort of it's really unclear until you
really dig into the psychology of each
individual a person working there why
this is happening I don't think that the
federal government is any different each
of these people feel they want to be
more important they want to have a
bigger role they want to have a bigger
impact J if your job direct
directionally is to regulate then what's
the scaler on regulation more regulation
so therefore to do more you have to
regulate more there's no regulator that
says I want to regulate less over time
because we've created a system that's
one directional so you have to have
these resets if you don't have them
naturally they're going to happen
unnaturally in the form of social unrest
and breakdowns of the economy and
collapse of social structures all these
other things that happen way way down or
as chamat is pointing out in California
in the economic structure of California
which I think is happening on a kind of
national scale because of the outsid
role the federal government plays in our
national economy here today so so you
have to have these unnatural forces come
in and and do this Readjustment from
time to time otherwise it's just going
to break on its own and mle in Argentina
has basically I don't know a year or an
18-month head start on us and has been
doing this he did a great podcast with
Lex
pedman they translated it actually they
dubbed it which is kind of interesting
technology and in this discussion they
talked about reducing the Ministries
agencies from 20 to 8 they fired 50,000
government workers 15% of the total
Workforce there were 341,000 when he
started they implemented daily
deregulation process to remove
inefficient policies so they just do
that day in and day out they ended
discretionary payments to provinces and
cities that restored Market driven
utility prices no more subsidies yada
yada y Right Down the Line sax your
thoughts
on how many months it will take to do
this and there's this this discussion
and I don't know if that's from inside
the Trump administration of hey we got
to get this done in 18 months we got to
get this done in 18 months What can you
tell us about the the sense of urgency
about getting this done
quickly and and why that's occurring
well I think Elon and V have announced
that Doge will be sunsetting or
disbanding at the 250th anniversary of
America which would be July 4th of
2026 so they've only given themselves
about what's that 18 months yep which
kind of makes sense right that's leading
into the midterms right right exactly
you tend to have the most momentum
coming off an election like this one
where you have the trifecta so I think
it makes a lot of sense that they're
going to be able to have the greatest
impact let's say in the first year after
the new president of Congress gets sworn
in how do you get Democrats in on this
sax how do you push them to join the
party to to join the movement to be more
efficient to be more transparent is
there a possibility for us to get some
coordination here with the other side or
no
you might be able to get some support of
particular Democrats on particular
things I don't want to say that it's not
possible difficult but not not
impossible but look I think what melee
has done in Argentina is remarkable I
mean that was a country that was a total
basket case inflation was out of control
it's already because of the cuts he's
made they now have a more normal
inflation rate and they've gone from
basically being uninvestable to
investable as as a country now the
United States is not the basket case
that Argentina is but we are on an
unsustainable fiscal trajectory doge is
also not going to have the power that
mle has it's not going to have the
degrees of freedom to act but we also
don't have as big a problem what we need
to do is just bend our fiscal curve from
being unsustainable to being sustainable
and if we can do that it'll have a huge
impact on the economy specifically what
we saw in the last election the thing
that probably hurt the Democrat the most
was inflation voters clearly do not like
inflation they do not like the
diminishment of their purchasing power
but how do you stop inflation you have
to raise interest rates and that's not
good either because that raises the cost
of a mortgage that raises the cost of a
car payment is bad for investment right
because if interest rates are higher
then that means the discount rate on
stocks and real estate on every
investment class basically is higher and
the hurdle rate for Investments higher
so high interest rates are also bad for
the economy so how do you get out of
that box where you either have high
inflation or high interest rates the
only way is to bend the fiscal curve to
that more sustainable path and if you
can and if you can do that the bond
markets will actually give you credit
for it in advance because they know
because they know that they're not GNA
be flooded with the need to keep funding
all of this US Government debt so we
either get to kind of you know startups
have the saying by being either default
alive or default Dead We either get to
default sustainable or default
unsustainable right now we're
unsustainable the bond markets know it
inflation remains persistently high
around 3% the FED has not been able to
cut interest rates the way that they
expected to remember the markets were
expecting seven Cuts this year we got
basically three we got a 50 and a 25 so
it's just hasn't been the cuts that
people were expecting and that's because
inflation hasn't come down as much as
people thought so if Doge working with
the rest of the government om the
treasury Congress executive orders can
now convince the markets that the US
Financial picture is more sustainable
we'll get credit for that interest rates
will come down and that'll lead to a
boom in the economy so it's all win-win
if they can pull this off prre any final
thoughts here before we move on from
Doge wishing Elon and v as much success
as possible we've really I mean
everybody should be rooting for this you
want to give us your final
thoughts I feel like America is Neo from
The Matrix where there was like a
thousand bullets being shot at America
and we like literally had to dodge every
single one of them in order to get to
this this point I again I am so shocked
and surprised in a positive way that we
ended up on this particular timeline
look everything had to go the way it
went for this to have happened Biden
decided to run for re-election Biden
stayed in too long they didn't run a
primary they put kamla in Elon got off
the fences switch parties Elon decided
to throw 100 million bucks at the
problem Elon bought
Twitter China had a real estate bubble I
mean you can go down the list of things
that had to go right for us to get to
this very moment where a small group of
people have recognized the fiscal death
spiral that the United States federal
government has been in and have the
Authority and the capacity and the skill
to be able to go and execute against a
solution I have no idea how this could
have been architected maybe saak knew
all along and I convinced him two years
ago that this was how things had to go
and he's been designing it like emper
talking about Ray doio in the end of the
empire for three years podcast maybe you
did it freeberg we remember when when we
talked with doo about this he's like
been hand and also around the the
relationship with China which I think
this is all very tightly related we may
have dodged a lot of bullets and and if
the United States can get its house in
order reduce federal spending while
increasing um economic activity uh it
can be a tremendous unlock for the US
and for world pieace so because again I
think that conflict arises when when we
don't have our own fiscal housing order
and so I feel very positive more more
surprised and positive than I was a year
ago six months ago it's just amazing
we're on this timeline and I do think
the United States as Neo dodged a lot of
bullets here absolutely fre I told you
everything was proceeding as I had
foreseen the emperor you know what
happened to the tenure and Elon and VI
wrote that essay I actually don't what
happened yields contracted by five basis
points you know what the value of that
is couple billion 15 billion per year
yeah yeah so so I think that it was
probably a hundred billion doll essay
just writing it I think you will find
that this doge is quite
operational I mean it I think it's got a
chance I mean if you I just wish it
weren't political right I I want I want
all I want all Americans and Democrats
to stand up and say this is the right
thing for the United States forget about
the fact the problem the essay saved us
a 100 billion just the essay
here you're going to have to be very
strategic true about how they detailed
what they're doing pick the the Doge
team's just going to have to be very
strategic to pick things that are
consensus building that don't make
people feel like this is going to grind
the poor more and make the rich richer
that's the expectation that's going to
be the negative framing on this I
predict which is just a bunch of Rich
guys making Cuts talking their books
making cuts for things that are their
pet projects their Investments they have
to come out and not make it that they
have to make it here's inefficiency
here's inefficiency here's inefficiency
and a great way to do that would be to
say the efficiency gains and the tax
cuts are going to go to people making
let's say under
$250,000 these are not and these cuts
are not being made just to make the rich
richer that's going to be the
framing you think that don't you think
that that's going to happen no matter
what what which part of it that they're
going to say that no matter what so I I
actually disagree with the first part of
what you said I agree with you that the
media the mainstream media will try to
characterize this as hurting the poor
agree and I'm not sure yet whether still
or not yeah but I think the first part I
disagree with is I don't think they
should operate towards consensus I think
that they should do what's right well
you could do what's right and you could
start with things that are the most
wasteful like if you start cutting kids
lunches or pel grants or you start
cutting people's jobs to in healthcare
education that people perceive are
helping people I think you're going to
just feed into this narrative that it's
a way to cut taxes on rich people and
you know what you do need to build
consensus how does that cut taxes on
rich
people if you cut regulations and a
bunch of our companies benefit from it
just to be self-aware the framing is
already that this is an effort for
companies that we invest in to have less
regulation to make the equity holders in
those companies more Rich you have to
make sure that the hold on have to make
sure the saving is for all Americans and
that all Americans benefit from it and
the way they benefit it the best framing
they could do is your taxes are going to
be lower because you're not wasting your
tax dollars if they can keep to that not
hey we're moving regulations so that our
companies I to be honest biger being a
hairdresser requires more regulation
than being any one of most of my
companies so I actually think it benefit
I think it benefits other people way way
more than it benefits me and you have to
show it is my point show it that's the
point is you have to show people that
you're doing this for everybody not just
for the people on this podcast and our
friends that's going to be the key what
sham just said is so important there's a
great interview I've mentioned this in
the past between Tim Ferris and Charles
KO from a couple years ago where he
brings up this exact example yes about
how regulatory burdens make it difficult
for women to become hairdressers it's
like $7,000 so they don't have the
capital to do that because of the
regulatory burden to get there think
about building building your home or you
know like let's say you want to change
put shower in your bathroom change the
shower in your bathroom you don't want
to spend $115,000 on all the permitting
regulatory stuff to make that happen
it's going to unlock value for everyone
that's a small example of kind of a
regulatory problem but this benefits
everyone and the cost of Transportation
will come to communicate that you have
to be able to communicate that and
that's where using platform but show up
perfect job of communicating this to
people and that's the Playbook freeberg
that's my point people are going to
fight this you have to convince them you
have to show them that this is helping
every can we just agree that there okay
but that's different than how you
started you said only work on consensus
projects I age no I didn't say that I I
think you have to highlight those do
them first I said do those first make
sure that people understand this is to
save them money I'm not saying that you
don't change regulations for spaceships
and self-driving cars as well but you
have to make sure you show people that
this can benefit them or else they're
going to just fight it and and that's
it's going to be the whole all this
effort will be for not if you if you get
a bunch of Republicans sacks Who start
fighting this and you have a splintering
in your party because they feel like
this is in helping their local
constituents this whole thing could be
for not that that's my that story that
you told is going to be told by the
Legacy Media and all the haters and the
enemies regardless of what Elon do I
don't think so I think win people
over you show people you show people
haters you're not going you show I'm
talking about the public who votes we
already won the election now is the time
to implement when you show people
$22,000 you know Hammers and wasted
money you will get a 100% of Americans
backing this not 60 minut been doing
that for 30 years nothing's happened we
got to just act now yeah act and bring
people along with Communications I mean
if you got if your communicate poorly
great go for it yeah I'm not saying that
communication isn't part of the job in
fact this whole conversation started by
us talking about an oped
that Elon and V wrote correct they lay
out in which they're laying out their
objectives and they're doing podcasts
and Elon has the biggest platform in the
world and biggest following so I just
don't think communication is going to be
the problem but you're also not going to
be able to convince everyone and you
know we've already won the election and
now is the time to figure out very
strategically how to implement as much
as possible be humble by two million
votes keep it in mind you have to bring
everybody along okay you know what if
the media was fair it would have been 20
million votes for Trump to have won
under these circumstances and he won the
trifecta it's impressive nobody saying
it's not minimize it I'm not minimizing
it I'm just saying be aware there's 74
million people who are rooting against
Trump and I think getting some them on
that's not true that's not true I think
there's a decent number of people who
are probably very upset that you know
Trump won just like last time they were
upset that Biden won including all
Americans in this is the most virtuous
thing you can do I think it's der I
think I think it's deranged the idea
that 74 million people are actually
rooting against him I don't think that
that's true I they feel good that they
lost people don't feel good about losing
bringing those people on board is
virtuous dude there's already a shi in
the country have you seen the Trump
Dance I mean there's been such a sh
let's see it let's see it I'm not going
to do it right now but there's been such
a huge Vibe shift the energy is so
optimistic right now
the energy right now is incredible and I
think people are feeling much more
optimistic can you imagine what a downer
would have be if like we were expecting
president KLA Harris to take the oath of
office it would be a downer it would be
a downer to me if they were still
pushing a 7.2 trillion dollar federal
budget next year it that would be a
downer and by the way I think that
there's a deeply linked relationship
between social issues economic issues
political policies and foreign conflict
they all seem like they're four
different things but they're so tightly
interwound and it's interesting how
everything kind of moves together with
the shift in who ended up winning
winning this election cycle and I think
it really speaks to the relationship
between the four well by the way there's
a great meme that was floating around
where it showed a photo of trump Elon
Bobby Kennedy and tulsey Gabbert and it
said that all four of the field used to
be Democrats yep yep you know demat in
it I tweeted that it used it used to be
that that Democrats were Progressive
Progressive means progress looking
forward and the last decade the last
couple years in particular I think a lot
of people that I know that are former
Democrats jamat you can speak for
yourself feel like the Democrats stopped
looking forward and it was all about
trying to
like and grievance and victim culture
and all of a sudden you've got guys like
Elon promoting themselves as Republicans
highlighting that it's all the this is
the party that looks forward this is the
party that drives progress it's an
amazing
shift I don't know if there's been
anything like it that's happened this
quickly I voted more to make America
great again than I did vote for being a
republican I I think that the Republican
party right
totally is is less important than it's
ever been and I think Maga is more
important than it's ever been I agree
and I'd say the biggest RIS of the whole
agenda probably is not the Democrats
it's actually some of these old Bulls in
Cong
who are anti- Maga for some reason Trump
is the one who just won the trifecta he
just won this big election if you stick
with the old Republican message you're
just a shorefire loser so give Trump his
due as the leader of the party realize
it's now a magga party and let's get
some things
done if the reform agenda fails to be
frank it probably is not going to be the
Democrats it's probably going to be
these holdouts in the Republican party
for it yeah yeah yeah that was my
question earlier I think I asked it
twice I didn't get anybody to engage in
it how do you convince them how are they
being brought on board to this if they
have all this pork barrel spending is
there a strategy there or do you have a
strategy I think saak laid it out which
is that if you use the combination of
the carrot and the stick I think the
carrot
is creating
transparency and I think the other part
of the carrot is you'll have now an
extremely well-funded pack that can
support people who are on board with
this agenda but the stick is if you
don't I think that if Elon makes this a
really concerted long-term part of his
strategy then I think you should run
candidates who actually are aligned with
the agenda that the make America great
again movement wants so I think that's
the carrot and stick Jason which is like
some of these old Republicans will have
to decide do I basically help invest in
a renewal of the American Spirit or do I
keep pushing back because I like the way
it was and want to go to war and I want
to Cozy up to these lobbyists I think
those folks are going to have a very
tough four and eight years because I
think you'll see a bunch of magga
candidates rising up to run against them
everywhere in the United States as you
can see my Young Apprentice your friends
have failed now witness the Firepower of
this fully armed and operational battle
station man I said be humble like three
times it's none of it sinking in huh no
I just explained I explained the risk I
I've been very clear you're not going to
get Milton Freeman okay you're not going
to get Javier Malay what we can
hopefully get is a bending of the curve
toward
sustainable I'm setting my expectations
to be realistic okay I mean breaking
even would be great if we do just
weren't adding to the debt that would be
amazing look if if if the federal budget
gets to three
trillion and regulation gets cut if you
get 50% of the regulation in federal
agencies cut I think you unleash an
economic Sonic Boom I'm all in I think
it's the greatest thing that could ever
happen my gosh could you imagine America
clocking in regat I mean how much are
you guys stuck with companies zero I'm
dealing with regulatory the regulatory
stuff is brutal man it's like it's legit
brain like melting sh tell me your
number one regulatory frustration we
could go around the horn this is a topic
actually I don't have any I think I'm
very blessed to work in an industry
that's very light with regulation I
think it affects many many other
industries that if they were Unleashed
could contribute to American G
Construction I also think regulations
are very regressive because they touch
poor and middle inome people way more
than it touch folks like me rip these
regulations out two regulations that do
affect you crypto regulation and capital
formation both of those things are they
haven't hurt me they haven't hurt me
this my point you but they definitely
are the economy right I can snap a
finger and raise a couple billion
dollars that is not it's so I'm in a
unique position and I and I recognize
that what is much harder is if you're
trying to be an electrician if you're
trying to be a hairdresser if you're
trying to be a massage therapist when
you have to spend 15 20 30% of your
salary on lure why totally why do we
need these stupid rules if if you're a
person that's trying to like construct
home why does it take six and eight
weeks to get permits approved why and
there are no good answers for these
things so forget about me like it
doesn't matter about me but the mainline
part of the United States economy as I
said before is a coiled spring if you
get rid of those regulations it
disproportionately impacts middle inome
and lower middle inome jobs this is why
if you if you see if you see GDP if
America clocks in GDP at four to four
and a half percent
watch out folks Sonic Boom watch out
I'll give you two really simple ones
allowing everybody in the United States
to participate in company formation
would change everything 95% of the
company cannot participate in investing
in startups or any you know new compan
czy the accreditation L I think more
massive freedom to operate just freedom
to do stuff you want that's what it is I
mean you're free to go to Vegas and
gamble you're free to you know play you
know online you're free to buy Bitcoin
you're not free to buy you are free to
buy Bitcoin you can buy Bitcoin you can
yeah but you're not afraid to create a
token right there should be some clear
path of Regulation I think there's many
more traditional forms of economic
growth that we can have before we need
to make icos legal and easier I I want
to say something I think that the person
that runs for governor in California
should commit to cutting those 65,000
regulations down to 10,000 as
needed to replacing the DMV with a
digital app and to cut taxes to near
zero and to create school choice whoever
does that incredible will create a
Renaissance in California it's the fifth
largest economy in the world folks and
it can be a bellweather for the rest of
the world well you know there there's a
lot of scuttlebutt online that Nicole
Shanahan's going to run for governor of
California and I'd be in favor of that I
would say that of all the political
personalities involved in the election
over the past year she gets my most
improved award I remember when like
Bobby named her to his ticket I was a
little bit skeptical of that choice
because of some of the causes that she
had identified with or donated to in the
past but she I think has ended up being
a star she's pretty based she's a star
yeah totally I mean she's she's red
pilled and ended up
supporting Maha and Maga and I don't
think we're going to get anyone better
in California so if she's willing to do
it and take it on that'd be awesome SX
what about you you don't want you don't
want that that
Mansion that'd be a significant
downgrade for me I about to say you took
the joke right out before I got to it
damn it that was such an easy one yeah
you could live in the governor's mansion
also known as smer than your guest
house that would be your backup man cave
well actually that's happened people
have in New York I remember one of the
governors was like yeah yeah you know
I'm good I don't need to live in the
Mansion where do you want to go next
boys we we have other things on the
docket would you like to go to our war
correspondent would you like to go
Chrome Google breakup would you like to
go Nvidia where would you like to go
World War III I think is important sax
you put World War II on the docket would
you like to te it up for us yeah sure
well there's a several events that have
happened in reasonably close succession
the the first thing to understand is
what's happening on the ground in
Ukraine the ukrainians been losing
territory and Accel ating Pace there's
an excellent graphic in the New York
Times that I'll put on the screen that
shows this is not a stalemate remember I
said on this
podcast six months or a year ago that it
was no longer a stalemate it was a war
of attrition in which the ukrainians
were now losing and every single month
now the Russians are taking more and
more territory again the curve is
accelerating we had all invest in a
business who had a growth curve that
looked like this so not good news for
the ukrainians in response to that I
think that's fundamentally the condition
on the ground that's created the next
set of actions which is the Biden
Administration finally approved the use
of longrange missiles attack's missiles
storm Shadows to hit territory deep
inside of Russia the Russians believe
and I don't know whether this is true or
not but what they say is that those
weapons cannot be operated without
Americans or
British operators being there to you
know they're too complicated for the
ukrainians just to use on their own so
they the Russians view this as not just
a direct attack on their Homeland on
their motherland but also a direct
involvement by the NATO allies United
States and Britain in the war and that
is a big
escalation you know a lot of people say
that the Russians have all these red
lines we keep Crossing them and they
don't do anything that's not true if you
actually listen to what the Russians
have said there's only been two red
lines the first red line was they said
they would not accept NATO expanding to
Ukraine and they proved their
seriousness on that issue by invading
Ukraine in February of 2022 the second
red line is they said that they would
not accept American long-range missiles
being used to Target inside of Russia
and that line has now been crossed so
this leads us to the next set of events
which is Russia just used what may be
some people are saying it's an ICBM but
it probably is more likely to be not an
InterContinental but an intermediate
range
ballistic missile that hit a Ukrainian
City and it's obviously it didn't carry
a nuclear payload but it's the type of
of ballistic missile that is used to
carry nuclear weapons there are a couple
of features of this that I think are
really important number one it's a
Hypersonic missile it hit the target at
something like mach 10 what that means
is that it just can't be intercepted
it's too fast the the west and the
United States in particular does not as
far as we know have a tech techology to
intercept a Hypersonic missile like that
the second is that it had what's called
a
MV Warhead or payload MV is multiple
independently targeted re-entry Vehicles
basically what it means is the Warhead
splits up right when it gets close to
the ground it splits into six separate
warheads and the reason for this is I
understand it is diabolical again it's
just if you're launching nuclear weapon
it just makes it that much harder to now
intercept it because now you've got six
Warheads hitting you instead of just one
so I
mean as I understand a missile like this
has never been used before and what the
Russians are doing obviously is sending
us a signal and what that message is is
that they're saying we have the means to
hit any European city or any European
asset with a Hypersonic missile that you
can't stop that may or may not have a
nuclear warhead attached to it and is
it's just a way of them expressing their
seriousness and displeasure and and and
reacting to and escalating in response
to the fact that we are now allowing
Western missiles to be hitting targets
deep inside of Russia so the bottom line
is this war is escalating it's
escalating nowhere good and at some
point soon yeah it's really we're gonna
have to get off of this escalatory
ladder to or we're going to end up in a
really disastrous place and just the
last final point is it's absolutely
remarkable that Biden decided to take us
to this place with what just 6 weeks
left in his term completely I mean as a
lame duck president what is his mandate
for doing that for taking this
extraordinary risk on behalf of the
country the voters just voted for Trump
who made it really clear he wanted to
end the war and Biden and his team have
unilaterally now escalated this war they
did it without consulting with Trump's
team at least that's what was publicly
reported is there was no briefing set up
for Trump's transition team
so you have here Biden his team taking a
unilateral action to expand and escalate
this war even when he's a lame duck
president and the question you have to
ask is why what is the point of this
well I think it's just completely
deranged because it's not just that for
forget Biden and Trump for a second if
you take a step back what was voted in
was to end this war and for the United
States to get our hands out of it so you
couldn't have a clear message to the
sitting president in the white house
which is this is not what Americans want
and so to basically ignore the will of
the voters and to essentially go and
push another country into the brink I
think is so incredibly responsible and
you know other times we've said in the
past take Donald Trump seriously but not
literally Russia you should take
seriously and
literally because they actually write it
down for you and tell you and so when
they said Every Act of aggression from
now on is going to be viewed by us on a
lookth through basis to the actual
country that is enabling this to happen
you couldn't be more clear but Americans
couldn't have been more clear which is
we don't want this war
anymore and I just think it's really
deranged what the Biden White House is
doing it's incredibly Dangerous by the
way not to mention it's incredibly
costly as well I mean we've had like
some last minute efforts to sort of Tamp
down on these last minute budget
approvals and whatnot but we're talking
about tens and hundreds of billions of
dollars that we're giving on top of the
risk of of nuclear escalation I just
think it's absolutely crazy it's
absolutely crazy Putin is not a dummy he
has heard and seen Trump's campaign
rhetoric and sax I don't know if this is
this has been publicly reported that he
had a call with with Trump after the uh
the election Victory does Putin not see
that in a couple of weeks a couple
months there will be new leadership in
the white house and there's going to be
a path to a resolution
here like does that not give us all a
little bit of reprieve that this is not
going to escalate because everyone's
waiting for January 20th oh I mean for
sure I mean thank goodness I would say
that we have a new president coming in
who does not own this War I mean the
problem with Biden is that he completely
owns this war and he does not want to
admit defeat and so what you've seen is
that over the last couple of years every
weapon system that Biden said he
wouldn't give to Ukraine because it
could literally cause World War III
these are Biden's words he said it could
be Armageddon if we gave Ukraine f-16s
it could be Armageddon if we gave them
Abrams Tanks it would be Armageddon if
we gave them himars and attacks and
could lead to World War III if we let
them hit targets inside of Russia these
are Biden's words and he has basically
given in on every single one of those
points because he's so committed to this
policy right he's he's in the Quagmire
he can only double down he doesn't to
extricate himself and now we don't know
exactly what KLA Harris would have done
but I think probably she would have
inherited Joe bid's policy and likely
continued it and I think we have a
wonderful opportunity here with Trump
taking office he doesn't own this policy
he can look at it with fresh eyes and
most importantly he campaigned on ending
the war so he has the Mandate of the
American people to stop it all I can say
is thank goodness and we just need to
get through the next two months we just
need to get to January 20th without
there being some new horrible escalation
in this
war he's B Joe Biden is marting galing
that's his strategy for the Ukraine
Russia War just keep doubling down and
doubling down down oh yeah do you want
to explain what that is oh yeah sorry
Martin giling is a strategy in gambling
where let's just say you know you start
betting a dollar and you lose your next
bet is $2 doll if you lose your next bet
is $4 if you lose your next bet is $8
and eventually you'll win once is the
theory
but there's many times where
Mortin but you only WI a
dollar so you could be betting you know
80 you know 40 bucks 80 bucks $160 $320
and then you finally win and you win a
dollar right or or you go broke that's a
great analogy because you can also go
broke right this is why they have caps
at the roulette table one time I would
do this that's why all casinos have a
Max yeah exactly so I would do this as a
joke with my wife or when I was at the
world serice a poker i' be like I'll go
pay for dinner or lunch or whatever and
I put $100 on black lose put 200 on
black win go pay for lunch and I did it
one time with the WSOP and I went 100
200 400
800600 I ran out of cash I got 3,200
from my friend I put it down the floor
man came over and said that's your last
bet oh no my buddy and I my budy and I
would if you do this yeah in our college
Years early 20s we would go to drink for
free at the casino you just sit at the
blackj table
just table and watch your drink this was
this was a long time ago happened last
year I would well I mean if you bet a
dollar then you bet two bucks you can
just keep drinking for free for like two
or three hours then go out and enjoy
your night you've made 15 bucks and call
it did I tell you about the losing a
million dollars playing roulette
no me Nick you got to beep up the names
me it was me and and oh you did tell me
this you did tell me this yeah this is
so good says guys I've developed a
system it's full oh
no that's always what happens before you
lose a million somebody says that it's
like we need to risk a million we can
win like two or
three and it's like
99.996%
so so I say to them so are you really
telling me that we just have to fade
0.004% chance of like total loss and he
says yep well guess what hit the 4% shot
me totally and and it was devastating I
just kept looking at this thing like
what just happened he's like oh we lost
yeah and I was like there it is folks
never again I've never gonna play
roulette again I think the gambling
analogies are the right analogies
because I look I'm not saying World War
II is going to happen I've never said
World War II is going to happen I'm
saying that there's a risk of World War
II and I don't need the risk to be very
high to be very worried about it because
it would be such a disaster outome right
totally exactly so I want to minimize
risk of Ruin I want to exactly I want
there to be hopefully a zero risk of
that but you know what's interesting is
remember just like a week or two ago
president Trump made that trip to DC and
he met with Biden in the Oval Office and
Biden had this he was like all smiles
and I'm everyone's like wondering why is
he so happy and the speculation was that
he somehow wanted to Common a lose or
something but now you think back on this
he must have known he was about to
authorize this decision
so what he's doing here he's grin he's
grin Trump he knows he's about to give
Trump this horrible hand right he's
about to make this situation in Ukraine
so much worse so that Trump will have to
inherit this mess that is like the
definition of
grin yeah he definitely knew more than
that picture L on because a the
interpretation of that picture was they
are getting along he's being super
gracious what an incredible gesture it
just looked like
yeah he promised a smooth transition of
power and then we find out that he
didn't confer with his successor about
this
extraordinarily meaningful decision to
escalate the war escalation yeah it's
like that's just crazy it's crazy you
guys want to do science corner I got one
for you yeah yeah it all right your
super fans are desperate for a science
Corner give him one freeor give him
something all right I will give you guys
something here here's a depressing paper
that was published in the journal Nature
just this week research team out of
Switzerland going over to the Swiss
where they are conducting extraordinary
research in the epigenetics of fat cells
in oh so we're going to Fat shame me on
the uh science Corner go ahead great no
we're actually going to understand
perhaps why it is difficult for people
that have been overweight yes to keep
the weight off I did read this and I I
think it's fascinating yeah explain it
it is it is really incredible so
remember we've talked about this many
times in the past but every cell has
your whole all your DNA all your genes
and certain genes are turned on or off
in different cells and those genes being
on or off differentiates those cells and
causes them to act differently that's
the difference between an eye cell and a
skin cell and a heart cell is they have
different genes that are up regulated
down regulated turned on and turned off
and even when you have different kinds
of cells you have certain genes that are
overexpressed or underexpressed or over
regulated up regulated or down regulated
so that means that those genes are
turning pumping out certain proteins
that do certain things in that
particular cell so what these folks did
is they wanted to understand what is the
EPO meaning what are the genes that are
turned on or off or up regulated or down
regulated in fat tissue in fat
cells and does the epigenome change when
an individual loses weight so once
they're obese and they lose weight do
the fat cells actually change their
epigenome or do they have an epigenetic
memory meaning that those cells even
though the person has lost weight those
cells still continue to act as if that
person were obese so I'll tell you in
humans they basically took five
individuals that were obese and lost
more than 25% BMI and they looked at the
epome they looked at the markers of what
genes are UL and down regulated before
and after they lost the weight after
they lost the weight there were a set of
markers that were still upregulated that
are associated with poor metabolism an
increased fibrosis and increased
cellular death so these are inflammatory
genes these are genes that are
associated with the cells being
inefficient at utilizing glucose to
create energy and so these cells
contined to act like slow dying cells
even after the person lost weight and
they did the same thing in and they
found similar results that they caused
these mice to gain weight looked at the
epome of the fat cells and then looked
at the epigenome after they lost the
weight and again the mouse epigenome
continued to act as if the mouse was
obese and what this means is that the
metabolism remained reduced fibrosis
remained elevated and likelihood of cell
death remained elevated so now they
applied glucose in a Petri dish to those
cells and they saw that the glucose had
a harder time being fully being
appropriately utilized from a healthy
fat cell that hadn't been obese so it
actually permanently alters and creates
an epigenetic memory in the fat cells
after obesity and this could explain
pretty significantly why when people
that have been obese lose the weight
they are more likely to gain the weight
back and have a hard keeping the weight
off you're referring to yes and that
makes total sense because anybody who's
added weight chth if that you add but
you know you eat one extra Oreo a week
that's 3,500 calories you do that over
20 years all of a sudden you wake up one
day you're 20 30 pounds overweight like
I was three or four years ago and this
is why I think OIC and wovi and mouro
and all these things are so great
because it does seem like it breaks you
through that
no the problem but we we do see in all
those results that when you go off of
The glp1 Agonist drugs you gain the
weight back very quickly this is some
amount of yeah not the total amount it's
a pretty significant bounce back effect
so and this is pretty well
documented and so I think that it speaks
to the why now it also introduces an
opportunity there are molecules that can
turn certain genes on or off can now be
identified and utilized to change that
epigenetic memory so now flip that
switch in
addition exactly this could arise from
things like increased exercise it turns
out that when you do significant amounts
of cardiovascular exercise there are
certain genes that are expressed that
trigger gen to switch on or off and so
we can start to identify those
particular
molecules and produce either supplements
or additional drugs or combo therapies
that can both knock the weight off and
keep it off by changing we tic memory in
those cells wow and so it introduces a
whole new class of opportunity for folks
to explore how do we help folks that are
obese lose the weight and then flip the
switch that they can keep the weight off
I've been doing rocking this is like the
old man activity that Peter AA and these
guys are all put weights on and you like
go walk I wear a I I started with a 10
pound weight vest now I'm at 35 pounds I
I do a mile and a half hike every day
with 35 pounds on man I fall asleep
immediately and the the amount of
intensity that puts on your body you do
it right before you go to bed no no I do
it anytime during the day but I'm just
saying it's it's I'm I'm focused on four
things right now with my health diet
sleep exercise meditation and I I try to
do four each day but the rucking
specifically in this Zone 2 stuff is
what they say 40 50y olds should focus
on so that's what I'm focused on but
that rucking man does it make your whole
body strong I highly recommend it it's
really transformative my meditation is
reading Doge ESS for chamath popatia
German dictator 8090 he's running a
software company services company great
look at you in the driver's seat David
fredberg your suant of science working
on ohal and the architect the Rainman
yeah definitely David sax from Craft
Ventures and maybe it's going to be
involved in Doge I I wouldn't be
surprised if we see a sax Doge uh hook
up in the future I don't know I'm taking
a guess here I am your host here Jason
calanis we'll see you all on December
7th live or in person by the way did you
guys Holiday Spectacular did you see
this tweet from Brian Johnson he tweeted
out all of his blood levels this is
incredible I love this guy look at these
results they're incredible if he can
break this down into like a turnkey
thing that normal folks like us can
follow for people who don't know what
this kid's doing is he is spending like
$3 million a year or something to that
effect on his own personal health
documenting it sharing it everything
from sleep to his bone density
everything is an open book and uh he's
made some products out of it as well so
you you can you can eat his pudding too
if if you're interested in it but I
don't think it's as good as how do you
follow his regimen you know what I mean
like it just seems too hard you can't
have a job I mean he's doing it's like
he's got two jobs right now doing all
this stuff his biomarkers are showing
he's 10 years younger than his actual
biological
age dude look at some of these results
his his speed of Aging he says his
birthday now happens every 19 months
what
the freeberg
I mean freeberg do you you look at what
do you think here science uh from a
science perspective any thoughts on all
this well I think his nighttime erection
rate is pretty impressive not three
hours and8 minutes for a nighttime
erection that is he reading is he
reading uh Elon and V's opad colum what
slowly he's reading it very
slowly wow he's got a 240 lb bench press
and an 800 lb leg press Jesus he looks
like he's dead though though that's the
only problem with he's so pale sax has
got to go djt online too we'll see you
all next time on the love byee love
you let your winners
ride Rainman
David and instead we open source it to
the fans and they've just gone crazy
with it love you queen of
[Music]
besties
are that's my dog taking your
driveway oh man myit meet we should all
just get a room and just have one big
huge orgy cuz they're all useless it's
like this like sexual tension that they
just need to release
[Music]
somehow we need to get merch our
[Music]
I'm going all in
Ask follow-up questions or revisit key timestamps.
The discussion covers the "Doge" (Department of Government Efficiency) initiative by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, aimed at streamlining the federal government by cutting regulations, reducing wasteful spending, and improving accountability. The speakers express optimism for Doge's potential, despite anticipated political resistance, emphasizing the need for transparency and strategic communication. The conversation highlights the unsustainable national debt and the economic drag caused by excessive regulation, citing California as an example, and discusses Javier Milei's reforms in Argentina as a model. Later, the hosts discuss the escalating conflict in Ukraine, noting Russia's use of advanced weaponry and expressing concern over the Biden administration's continued escalation despite a voter mandate for peace. Finally, a "Science Corner" segment explains research on the epigenetic memory of fat cells, which may explain why it is difficult for people to maintain weight loss, and suggests future avenues for intervention.
