And there's one more company, right, is it? 35 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 3: Or just those three? 36 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 2: It's one more? Let me find out the last one. 37 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 2: Let me see. I can't find the last one. But 38 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 2: let's focus on those three right now. 39 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 3: All right, So, Meta, Palneer, and open Ai companies that 40 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 3: we've talked about a lot. So if you want to 41 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 3: tie it in from an investing standpoint, open Ai obviously 42 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 3: isn't a public traded company yet, but if you yeah, 43 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 3: if you look at Palenteer, I mean people have already 44 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 3: said that Palenteer stock is going to skyrocket based off 45 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 3: of you know, not just this war, but a series 46 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 3: of potential wars that could potentially happen in the future. 47 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 3: Meta somebody, you know, Mark Zuckerberg. Obviously he's been he's 48 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 3: been so dedicated to to to the presidency that he 49 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 3: actually was considering buying a home in DC, to moving 50 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 3: to move to d C to be closer to to 51 00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 3: Trump and his administration. And then you look at that 52 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 3: their stock and it's up, and it's it's and it's 53 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,679 Speaker 3: has gone up, right, So yeah, is it a coincidence? 54 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 2: No? 55 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 4: And I don't think most of Silicon Valley rushing into 56 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 4: defense tech when that was looked at as an antiquated 57 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 4: business perception wise in Silicon Valley. I just think it's 58 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 4: ironic to see the push into some of these wars 59 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 4: given the investment that they happen to defense tech. Now, meanwhile, 60 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 4: a Raytheon is not moving how normally would or lockhey, 61 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 4: Martin isn't moving. We're having like a change of the 62 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 4: guard amongst defense tech. 63 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 2: But I wonder at what. 64 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 3: Costs, And and even you know, Anderell you talked about 65 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 3: them before, sixty minutes. Does it expose on the ceo 66 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 3: And it's like you said, they're pushing defense tech, like 67 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 3: it's electric cars, Yeah they got they got these. The 68 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 3: CEOs have become celebrities, whether you're talking about Anderel, whether 69 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 3: you're talking about Palanteer, the CEOs of defence tech companies 70 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 3: have become celebrities. And before this was a this defence 71 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 3: period was a underworld, like arms dealers. They made movies 72 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 3: about arms dealers, like Nicholas Cage and stuff like that, 73 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 3: like you didn't even want to know you those people 74 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 3: didn't even want you to know who they were, and 75 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 3: you didn't know who they were. Now it's like the 76 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 3: talk of the town, and it's like they act like 77 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 3: this is like the new toys that people are playing with, 78 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 3: as far as drones that can destroy a whole entire city. 79 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 3: That says a lot about the times that we're in 80 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 3: as far as investment opportunities, But it also says a 81 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 3: lot about the times that we're in as far as 82 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 3: how war has become so mainstream that it has no 83 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 3: problem being traded publicly and celebrated publicly as well. 84 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: I mean, tech has always been a thing when when 85 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: people talk about growth and value. They found that in 86 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: tech and so if AI was a story and people 87 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: have led the head headlines with that, Well, what's the 88 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: next sector inside of the and it I mean, we've 89 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 1: seen what happens with Palenta. You know, I'll add to 90 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: what you said because Raytheon traditionally is not a stop. 91 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,799 Speaker 1: But if you look at the history of the company 92 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: over the past three years, rt X is a company 93 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: that spawned from that. So if you look at rtx's 94 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: sharp in terms of what's happened with conflict, I mean, 95 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: it's out of this world, right, And so you have 96 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: to throw that inside there where you're talking about Androro 97 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: was one of the companies you just talked about, obviously 98 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 1: not publicly traded yet, but it looks all signs of 99 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 1: point and that's where it's headed. And we've seen some 100 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: of the successful IPOs that have happened this year. That 101 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: market is starting to open up, stunning heat up. 102 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 2: Again. You've seen what was Zuckerberg. You know what this 103 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 2: is headed. 104 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: I thought what Van said on on on Wednesday about 105 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: Talented was just like super powerful. 106 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 2: Like this is the most hiteous company in the world. 107 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: And so now from an investing standpoint, especially from a 108 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 1: retail standpoint. We always talk about morally investing. If you 109 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: know these things, you know that do you invest in 110 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 1: something because you know there's his growth, but you know 111 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: that destruction can come from it. It's one of these 112 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: dilemmas that we all have to face at some point. 113 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 4: I feel like, yeah, it's And even some people have 114 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 4: been like, well, why do you like anderrel but not Pollenteer. 115 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 4: I just said, I personally would not invest in Palenteer. 116 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 4: Like as far as the Silicon Valley space, I think 117 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 4: Peter Tiel that book Zero to one changed my life. 118 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 4: I just personally would not invest into it. But I 119 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 4: like Ander Reil because of the war that he went 120 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 4: through with Meta. It's a classic revenge story for those 121 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 4: of you who don't know that oculus design, which Apple 122 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 4: then copied, came from Palmer and they tried to bury him. 123 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 3: And the crazy thing about that is that allegedly, what 124 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 3: he says is that he got fired from Meta because 125 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 3: he was supporting Donald Trump. That's interesting because he's obviously 126 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 3: a pro Trump supporter. He was very he was very 127 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 3: vocal about his support for Trump years ago, and at 128 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 3: that time, I guess it wasn't fashionable to support Donald 129 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 3: Trump so in Silicon Valley, so he was fired, that's 130 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 3: what he says. Meta said that he was fired for 131 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 3: other reasons. But now Mark Zuckerberg is one of the 132 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 3: biggest supporters of Donald. 133 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 4: Trump, allegedly financially but not morally. I won't speak for zuck. 134 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 3: Though, but I mean as far as forward facing, right, 135 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,119 Speaker 3: he donated a million dollars. 136 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 4: The ring that I get the contracts. Yeah, that's the 137 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 4: part of the game that we're in. Halfway through the decade. 138 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 4: You got to kiss the ring. 139 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,679 Speaker 2: So it isn't doing it and they're paying the cost. 140 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 5: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child 141 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 5: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador 142 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 5: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with 143 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 5: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just 144 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 5: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President 145 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 5: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy Noman, the United States 146 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 5: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border 147 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 5: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over 148 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 5: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you 149 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 5: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly 150 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 5: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will 151 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 5: never return. But if you register using our CBP home 152 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 5: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally. 153 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 5: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump America's laws, 154 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 5: border and families will be protected. 155 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security,
