They shaved their heads after the election, and 128 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 2: it was reminiscent so closely to Charles Manson's cult when 129 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 2: he was arrested after the Tate Lebianca murders.

I'll just synthesize 148 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 2: the little narrow part of this. You wake up in 149 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 2: a third world jail. You wake up in the third 150 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 2: world jail, so you're only allowed to call one person 151 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 2: you know, to get you out of there.

You've been visiting Mexico or for that matter, 154 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 2: Turkey or wherever else. Maybe you're on a mission trip 155 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,839 Speaker 2: with your church. You've ended up in jail, and yes 156 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 2: it can happen. Why did you choose this person? What 157 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 2: is it about them that made you pick up the phone? 158 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 2: This person you picked has something a spark a jena 159 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 2: say quah, that's something is high agency august Landmesser refusing 160 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 2: to salute at a Nazi rally in Hamburger. In Hamburg, 161 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 2: it's a picture of a guy. Everybody else is doing 162 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 2: the Nazi salute, but he's not. His whole story behind that. 163 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 2: We put a man on the moon peak High Agency 164 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 2: before anyone put wheels on suitcases. Everyone carried their suitcases 165 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 2: because everyone else carried their suitcases. Now you've seen it, 166 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 2: let's try to explain it. The person you'd call when 167 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 2: stuck in a third world jail cell falls on the 168 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 2: right side of the high agency spectrum. The thought experiment 169 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 2: of a third world jail cell is designed to represent 170 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 2: the ultimate live problem on steroids. You're giving the person 171 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 2: you would call a seemingly impossible problem alone in the 172 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 2: real world, with no guidebook, and still betting on them 173 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 2: finding a solution. If you created a room with everyone 174 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 2: you would call when stuck in the third world jail cell, 175 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 2: what would that high agency room have in common. It's 176 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 2: not age, gender, race, education, job title, or politics. It's 177 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 2: not optimism or pessimism. Optimism states the glasses half full. 178 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 2: Pessimism states the glasses half empty. High agency states you're 179 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 2: a tap. You look in the mirror and see a 180 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 2: giant tap staring back at you. The one big thing 181 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 2: everyone in that high agency room has in common. They 182 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 2: are happening to life. They don't view the future as 183 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 2: a static entity. They view it as something to be 184 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 2: shaped by human action. Eric Weinstein said, when you're told 185 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 2: that something is impossible, is that the end of the conversation? 186 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 2: Or does that start a second dialogue in your mind? 187 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 2: How to get around whoever it is that's just told 188 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 2: you that you cannot do something. High agency is such 189 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 2: an important idea because the more agency an individual or 190 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 2: society has, the more problems they can solve. High agency 191 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 2: can be confusing idea to understand because it's not just 192 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 2: one idea. It's a combination of three distinct skills rarely 193 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 2: found together. Number one clear thinking number two bias to 194 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 2: action number three disagreeability. High agencies like a tricycle. If 195 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 2: you remove one of the wheels, it stops working. It's 196 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 2: impossible to imagine someone breaking you out of a Third 197 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 2: World jail cell without all three. If they can think clearly, 198 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 2: they will charge ahead with the first. If they can't 199 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 2: think clearly, they will charge ahead with the first bad 200 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 2: plan that pops into their head. If they lack a 201 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 2: bias for action, they'll never move their ideas from theory 202 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 2: into the real world. If they aren't disagreeable, they'll quit 203 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 2: and conform when someone in authority tells them, no, do 204 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 2: you have agency? You might be wondering, as I did, 205 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 2: do you have agency? Would my friends call me when 206 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 2: stuck in the Third world jail cell? The bad news 207 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 2: low agency is the default setting for most of us. 208 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 2: You inherited a brain evolved for the scarcity of hunter 209 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 2: gatherer tribes, and then went through an education system designed 210 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 2: to output factory workers for the industrial revolution. Are you 211 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 2: expecting your default settings to be high agency? The good 212 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 2: news you have agency over your agency. As countless historical 213 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:29,199 Speaker 2: examples show, moving up the high agency spectrum is possible. 214 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 2: The goal of this essay is to do just that, 215 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 2: nudge you nearer towards a problem solving machine a friend 216 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 2: might call when stuck in the Third world jail cell. 217 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 2: The essay has split into four parts, and then he 218 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 2: goes in all this so, if you think about who's 219 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 2: the most high agency human being alive today, you could 220 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 2: argue Donald Trump. You could also argue Elon Musk. You 221 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 2: could also begin to understand since low agency is the 222 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 2: default setting for everyone, why people hate Elon and why 223 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 2: they hate Trump. And if you think about the people 224 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 2: who hate Elon and why they hate Elon, it makes 225 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 2: all the sense in the world. Once you're prepared to 226 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 2: face the reality that there are people who are successful, 227 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 2: who create, who do, who accumulate, who build, who change, 228 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 2: and then there's everybody else, and everybody else is made 229 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 2: up of categories of people, and you realize that there 230 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 2: are people who will never contribute anything to this world. 231 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 2: They are takers. Mommy and Daddy pay for their school, 232 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 2: Mommy and Daddy pay for their cars. Mommy and Daddy 233 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 2: give them an allowance. Mommy and Daddy bail them out. 234 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 2: Mommy and Daddy give them jobs. Mommy and Daddy send 235 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 2: them to therapy. Mommy and Daddy send them to counseling. 236 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 2: Mommy and Daddy do everything for them. And then they 237 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 2: can't wait for Mommy and Daddy to die so they 238 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 2: can inherit mommy and Daddy's money. Seen that a lot 239 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 2: these people are losers. They're the worst. They're usually white, 240 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 2: they may be waspy. They're almost always people who have 241 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 2: had advantages in life. And yet, and yet they're angry, 242 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 2: they're bitter, they're resentful. Now they've become violent. That's the 243 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 2: outburst of all this rage because the world doesn't make 244 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 2: sense to them. I'm supposed to be on top. I've 245 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 2: always had the best. I'm better than those people. How 246 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 2: does some guy come here from South Africa? How does 247 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 2: he have everything? How does Donald Trump? He's got orange hair, 248 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 2: He's an idiot, he's dumb, he's gross, he's crass, he's loud, 249 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 2: he's a criminals. He's everything you thought you were gonna be. 250 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 2: Once you get very comfortable, this is the nice neighbor 251 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 2: dilemma I call it. Once you read recognize we're not 252 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 2: all the same, We're not all we're not all on 253 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 2: the same path. Once you get comfortable with hate, let's 254 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 2: be and also support the high agency people and the 255 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 2: low agency people. Let's call them what they are, fire them, 256 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 2: get them out of our life, don't deal with them. 257 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 3: Condor. 258 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal have an editorial this morning entitled why 259 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 2: investors love old Cars, and it brings to mind the 260 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 2: fact that the Meekham auction will be next Thursday through Saturday. 261 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 2: I think the third through the fifth, that is a 262 00:16:54,440 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 2: dangerous place to go, and the booze is flowing flowing 263 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 2: at those things. My friend Rowdy Yates Josh Halstead is 264 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 2: his real name, but he's Rowdy Yates on the air. 265 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 2: It was a nationally syndicated kind of classic country show, 266 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,360 Speaker 2: been on the air for a long time. Rowdy Yates 267 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 2: I posted about the Mika auction yesterday and he said, 268 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 2: do not have a sip. People get in trouble, and 269 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 2: I've seen it. I have seen it. I've seen guys 270 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 2: go down there. You know, maybe they'll buy, maybe they won't, 271 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 2: but they've they've just they just got some private equity 272 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 2: money for their company they started. They didn't go to college, 273 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 2: and private equities bought seventy five percent of their company, 274 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 2: gave them a huge check and they got an eurnout 275 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 2: for three to five years. And so now they got 276 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 2: a little crazy money. They may not go out and 277 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 2: buy a new house overnight, but they'll start buying toys. 278 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 2: And one of those toys will be an old car, 279 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 2: maybe a motorcycle, a boat, second home. So I was 280 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 2: there agoree years ago, maybe two or three years ago. 281 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 2: And Ryan Holder, who runs the Downtown Specs location, was 282 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 2: there and he had his kids. He's an old car guy. 283 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 2: He's a cigar guy and an old car guy as well, 284 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 2: so we have a lot to talk about. If you 285 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 2: ever go to the Downtown Specs, don't ask for Ryan, 286 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 2: because I once said that on the air and he 287 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 2: was overwhelmed with a number of people looking for him. 288 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 2: But if you do meet Ryan, you'll want to ask 289 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 2: him for advice on cigars and booze and everything else 290 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 2: because he's forgotten more about that stuff than the rest 291 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:50,159 Speaker 2: of us are ever going to know. Anyway. Guy that 292 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 2: I know just going through a divorce at this point, 293 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 2: I think this was number three at the time. He's 294 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 2: through number four. Now he is dating some girl. He 295 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 2: swears he's not going to Mary, but he will and 296 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 2: then they'll get divorced, so they'll have be five divorces. 297 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 2: You start cutting what you've got in half a few times. Man, 298 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 2: by the time you get to number four. Oo Man, 299 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 2: Racehorse Hanes was divorced, I think five times. Do the 300 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 2: math on that one. Anyway, So there's my buddy, and 301 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 2: he's in that mood. If you if you know anybody 302 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 2: that's recently gone through a divorce, and my friends are 303 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 2: mostly older than me. So I have a lot of 304 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 2: friends that are in this category. Their mood vacillates from 305 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 2: being kind of down in the dumps, not because they 306 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 2: missed the woman, but because they saw an ugly side 307 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 2: of that woman they never expected to see, because you know, 308 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 2: she's got to cash out. This is our last chance. 309 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 2: She's got to be nasty to you because she wants 310 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 2: every penny you got. And then eventually he just gives 311 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,479 Speaker 2: up and you know, gives her whatever, and he spends 312 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 2: most of his day cribbing about her. So then there's that, 313 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 2: and then there is the fact that you know, he 314 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 2: doesn't have the big house anymore, and he you know, 315 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 2: all their mutual friends are not his friends anymore, because 316 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 2: that would be we. He can't hang out by himself. 317 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,719 Speaker 2: So now he has new friends and they're out at 318 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 2: the bars every night, and they're kind of, you know, 319 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 2: grousing about life and sort of you know, nothing's good, 320 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 2: and you know, because everything because they have to rebuild 321 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 2: something and throw a buddy of mines. At that stage, 322 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 2: say three years ago, I see him at Meek Him Auction, 323 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 2: and uh, he's had a little bit already, maybe five 324 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,679 Speaker 2: glasses a while. I don't know. He's he's he's feeling 325 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 2: no pain. And come on, I want you see his car? 326 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 2: Whence you see his car? Once you see this car, 327 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 2: it is this car. Okay, So I'm noticing he's he's 328 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 2: not fleet of foot any longer? Shall we say? Anyway, 329 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 2: long and short, he got drunk and bought a car 330 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 2: or what you could get a house for and the 331 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 2: next day has the audacity to say, why did you 332 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 2: let me buy that? You make a lot of bad decisions, 333 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 2: whether I'm in your presence or not. Really doesn't have 334 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 2: a lot to do with that. So we're talking about agency, 335 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 2: and one of the key ingredients of a high agency 336 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 2: person a person it's self determined, a person that solves problem, 337 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 2: a person that will be successful, personal that you want 338 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 2: on your team as your guide to get things done 339 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 2: to close the sale. Unfortunately, education does not perfectly correlate 340 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 2: with what we call high agency here or even success. 341 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 2: It's always surprising to people who believe that do well 342 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 2: in school you do well in life. That's a very 343 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 2: very rough estimation, and it's certainly not It doesn't ensure it. 344 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 2: And what is doing well in life? A number of 345 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 2: most people who are quote unquote highly educated, really smart, 346 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 2: whatever terms you want to use, are in the making 347 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 2: one point fifty a year category. But when you see 348 00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 2: the overachiever, super earner, they're never good students. Sort of 349 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 2: like you can watch the Little League World Series in 350 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 2: Williamsport every year and think to yourself, well, that guy 351 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 2: is gonna make a great pro He may not make 352 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 2: his high school baseball team, certainly not going to play 353 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 2: in college or minor leagues. The number of professional Major 354 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 2: League baseball players who made it to Williamsport is minuscule. 355 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 2: You can call them out by name because they're almost 356 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 2: none of them. That is not a predictor of success. 357 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,880 Speaker 2: Twelve year old success is not a predictor of success. 358 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 2: A lot of things get in the way. But one 359 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 2: of the things I note is the disagreeability element. And 360 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 2: that's what I loved about that, And I tell people 361 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 2: this every day. Hey, hey, I got to ruin, I 362 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 2: got to get on this call. Why we have to 363 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 2: do this call every you know whatever, However, what if 364 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,919 Speaker 2: you're not on it? They like everybody to be on it. 365 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 2: Why what happens in this call? What is accomplished in 366 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 2: this call? When the call is over? What has now 367 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 2: been accomplished that wasn't already accomplished. You survived another call 368 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 2: that could have been an email. The person calling the 369 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 2: meeting could reduce to writing what they have to say, 370 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 2: ask everyone to read it and respond with their comment. 371 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 2: Then you could read it on the pot. You could 372 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 2: read it in between innings of your kids. Lilygue game. 373 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 2: Why the meetings? Why the calls? Because nobody wants to 374 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 2: say no, because nobody's disagreeable. If you're not disagreeable, you 375 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 2: don't have high agency. You're not in control of your life. 376 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 2: If you're doing things you don't want to do because 377 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 2: you don't want to upset other people, change it. He'll 378 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 2: just go ahead and say it. Sorry to Michael Barry Show. 379 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:24,360 Speaker 2: Stephen A. Smith is a sports talker and he's kind 380 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 2: of the modern day Jim Rome. He's he's got a 381 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 2: little stick and he's a blowhard and he's kind of 382 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:35,439 Speaker 2: controversial opinions. And there's certain sports bros that really liked 383 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 2: that kind of personality. And he's black and tall. So 384 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 2: his bs about being, you know, once being a really 385 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 2: good basketball player and but for injury, he'd be in 386 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 2: the pros. People kind of believe that too. Go look 387 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 2: up his stats and I think he averaged one point 388 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 2: two points per game. He's not what he claims to be, 389 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 2: but that's that's his little and his analysis can often 390 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 2: be quite good in sports as well as of late 391 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 2: in politics. And he's had a moment where he's he 392 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 2: said some things about, you know, liberals are being stupid 393 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 2: and Trump's doing the right thing. But he reverted to 394 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 2: his old dumb ways yesterday or the day before when 395 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,400 Speaker 2: he was talking to Sean Hannity and he said that, 396 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 2: you know, Pete Hegseth is against DEI hires, but he's 397 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 2: a DEI hire because the only thing he's ever done 398 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 2: is be a Fox News personality. He shouldn't be Secretary 399 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 2: of Defense. Well, I suspect Steven A. Smith's a little 400 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 2: touchy because he fears he probably fears that maybe he 401 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 2: got his start because he was black, and there are 402 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 2: not a lot of black men in media who are 403 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 2: There's the former athlete guy who comes in for color commentary, 404 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:07,400 Speaker 2: but then there is the analysis and commentary black guy, 405 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 2: and the number of guys who do that who are 406 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 2: not former athletes, because being a former athlete actually works 407 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 2: against you in that way, especially a black guy, because 408 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 2: you're not taken seriously. So Stephen A. Smith is one 409 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 2: of the very few for whom that's the case. And 410 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 2: I suspect he fears that people think he's a dei 411 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 2: higher for that reason, or that that's the only reason 412 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 2: he gets play, or that he gets invited here, or 413 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 2: whatever else. The big contract is making a lot of money. 414 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,400 Speaker 2: But for him to say something so stupid about Pete 415 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 2: hegg Seth being a Fox News commentator may not be 416 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 2: a qualification to do anything, but it's certainly not a disqualification. 417 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 2: It shouldn't demean Pete hegg Seth. But it's also worth 418 00:26:55,800 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 2: noting that before he was a Fox News commentator, the 419 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 2: thing that gave him the credibility ramone was the good hair. 420 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 2: Correct The thing that gave him credibility was that he 421 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 2: had served with distinction. The fact that a man who 422 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 2: had served with distinction but had no bars was not, 423 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 2: you know, in the c suite of the military. If 424 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 2: you would not an executive in the military, a general 425 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 2: as we that's basically the equivalent of the executive level. 426 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 2: The idea that the guy could come from the floor 427 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 2: of the warehouse to run the company, the guy, the 428 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 2: idea that the guy could come from playing the game 429 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 2: to being a GM guy, The idea that a guy 430 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 2: could could come from serving in war to determine how 431 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 2: we conduct war. The fact that that is not readily apparent, 432 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 2: the fact that that could hang in the air and 433 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 2: not be stated. That is Trump's high agency. And he 434 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 2: didn't do this the first time. He went against his gut, 435 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 2: went against his true instincts, and he tried to accommodate. 436 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 2: He tried to accommodate the big donors, tried to commodate 437 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 2: the RNC, tried to accommodate the senators. He brought people 438 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:23,880 Speaker 2: into his first administration who were there with the design 439 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 2: of pleasing to go along to get owners. There are 440 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 2: plenty of people. In fact, almost all people who go 441 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 2: for a nice lunch every day, have a nice corner office, 442 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 2: make good money. But they're not really high achievers. They 443 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 2: may appear to be high achievers to even lower achievers, 444 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 2: but they're not anybody who makes a real difference on 445 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 2: this earth. They will come and go, and in the 446 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 2: meantime time they'll have some good country club memberships. They'll 447 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 2: drive some nice cars. Every three years. They might go 448 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 2: in a good Hume trip. They've got a couple of 449 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 2: good photos they can use for their Facebook page. But 450 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 2: they're not changing the world. They don't even change the 451 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 2: world around them. They're not doing anything to make a 452 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 2: real difference. And some of those are the uh and 453 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 2: Richards did have a good line, you know, the hit 454 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 2: a triple in a land On born on third base 455 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 2: and think they hit a triple. And then there's other 456 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 2: people that just you know, kind of fall into positions 457 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 2: and and go along in life and relatively successful, but 458 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 2: they're in no way determined to make things better, to 459 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 2: improve things. And that's what the political world is. Look 460 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 2: at John Cornyn, John Corny, law professor at St. Mary's 461 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 2: in San anton An attorney general, then US senator. What's 462 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 2: he done? What is John Cornyn known for? And don't 463 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 2: answer being an idiot, I'm serious. What's he known for? 464 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 2: What has John Corny meant difference on? You can lover her, 465 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 2: hate Ted Cruz. You know what he has done and 466 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 2: he made a lot of enemies doing it. You know 467 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 2: what Trump's doing. There are very few people you can 468 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 2: say that about. Joseph McCarthy got carried away. He got 469 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 2: carried away and he stayed drunk and as a result 470 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 2: he made mistakes. But there were communists who are dealing 471 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 2: with them now and some of them are the children 472 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 2: and grandchildren. There was a communist influence there really was. 473 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 2: There was a kernel of truth there. It should have 474 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 2: been exposed, but he got carried away, and that happens. 475 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 2: You knew what Joseph McCarthy said, the little Old story, 476 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 2: because history will tell you that McCarthy was an awful person. 477 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 2: Part of making it so that you never want to 478 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 2: call out the communist because you don't want to be 479 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 2: like McCarthy and McCarthy is. McCarthy's funeral was so big 480 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 2: where it was being there was a traffic jam in 481 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 2: the city because people loved the fact that at least 482 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 2: he stood up or something. John Cornyn doesn't, Greg Abbott doesn't. 483 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 2: You look at these people that are in positions and 484 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 2: you go, why can't they be like Trump? Why can't 485 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 2: they be like Cruise? Why can't they be like Elon? 486 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 2: Because they don't have high agency, because they don't even 487 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 2: understand what they don't understand. Most people are just going 488 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 2: along to get along. And John Corny's mind, he's a 489 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 2: highly successful person. I think he's a complete and utter loser.
