1 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:04,760 Speaker 1: It's that time. 2 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 2: Time, time, luck and load. The Michael Verie Show is 3 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:23,920 Speaker 2: on the air, Probably a good time to address this. 4 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 2: Monday of this week was the last day to file 5 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 2: for the primaries Democrat and Republican in March, the winners 6 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 2: of which will represent their party in November of twenty 7 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 2: twenty six. And so this all happens so early before 8 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,200 Speaker 2: anybody's thinking about any of it. But that's the way 9 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 2: the system works. 10 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 3: Unless you are a person who is a close observer 11 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 3: of this, it sneaks up on you and then it 12 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 3: gets to be about October of twenty two. 13 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: Who are these candidates wen today? How they get there? 14 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: Who put them there? 15 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 4: Out? 16 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 3: And know, well, I've told you one hundred times how 17 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 3: it happens, but it didn't matter at the time. And 18 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 3: that's okay because you're busy with what you're busy with 19 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 3: right now. You're busy getting ready for Christmas, you're busy 20 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 3: closing out the books for the year. 21 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: Understandable. Fine. I receive a lot of. 22 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 3: Emails from people who want to know what to do 23 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 3: to get involved in politics, and my succinct answer is 24 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 3: there is no right answer. I can tell you what 25 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 3: I did, but mine is a little atypical. But if 26 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 3: I were to give you a generalized answer, because now 27 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 3: it's a good time to put this into practice, I 28 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 3: will say this a good campaign. If you work on 29 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 3: a good campaign, it can be very exciting, it can 30 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 3: be a lot of fun. But it's also not glamorous. 31 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,919 Speaker 3: It's important to understand that it's not glamorous. 32 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: It means that. 33 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 3: Let's say, let's say you work for a candidate. Let's 34 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 3: say you know somebody who's a candidate's running for profice 35 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 3: that person needs help with little things. When I was 36 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 3: running for mayor, I had a friend who paid his 37 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 3: daughter to drive their car to drive me around all 38 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 3: day long because he didn't believe I should be running, 39 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 3: I should be driving. I should be able to work 40 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 3: during the day. I couldn't afford a driver. That wasn't 41 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 3: an option. It made a world of difference. My scheduler 42 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 3: would coordinate every day what times she needed to pick 43 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 3: me up. 44 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: I would come out. 45 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 3: They would have all my documents I needed to read 46 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 3: to be briefed on what I was doing for the day, 47 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 3: and a call sheet of people I was calling to 48 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 3: dial for dollars. Because you got to constantly be raising money. 49 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 1: Rachel what's her name? 50 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 3: And she was fantastic and she made my life so 51 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 3: much better Now her dad paid her, Otherwise she would 52 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,839 Speaker 3: have been paid. But one of the things I will 53 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 3: tell you is that campaigns don't have much money for 54 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 3: tasks that need to be performed. So, whether that's phone calling, driving, delivering, 55 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 3: campaigns have to so yard signs. Somebody has to receive 56 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 3: the call or the email requests put the sign, put 57 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 3: make them out, deliver the sign, put the sign in 58 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 3: the yard for people. These sorts of things, they're the 59 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 3: nuts and bolts of campaigns. Events, debates, rallies, Coordinating with 60 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 3: people who are doing a coffee or a tea for 61 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 3: a candidate, or a speaking engagement, all of these things. 62 00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 3: Whether you ever intend to run or not, it's a 63 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 3: learning experience. Now I will tell you before you do it, 64 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 3: you're going to feel like you weren't appreciated sufficiently. Because 65 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 3: a campaign is moving, they don't have time to Susie, 66 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 3: it's really wonderful you're here, and Susie, you're I've watched 67 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 3: people get angry they didn't appreciate me. No, you had 68 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 3: unrealistic expectations. Were you there to contribute and help the 69 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 3: candidate win, or were you there to get lots of 70 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 3: laudits that Susie had shown up and she was doing it, 71 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 3: because you're not going to get that. Campaigns are just 72 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 3: not They don't have the time, a lot of them 73 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 3: don't have the social skills, and they're so focused on 74 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 3: task in hand, which is going full blast. Because remember, 75 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 3: it's like starting a company overnight. A campaign didn't exist, 76 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 3: and all of a sudden it does exist. So you're 77 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 3: already behind the eight ball. You already have more tasks 78 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 3: to do and you have time for and you're staring 79 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 3: at a deadline. This isn't a career. We got a 80 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 3: deadline of election day, March, the primary. So with that 81 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 3: in mind, you've got to understand that it's a learning experience. 82 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 3: You're not going to get lots of praise. You're going 83 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 3: to be barked at by people under tight deadlines and 84 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 3: high stress. But it's a great way to see the 85 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 3: process at play. It's not the process of governing. That's 86 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 3: a very different process, but it is the process of campaigning, 87 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 3: and within reason, it hasn't really changed in the course 88 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 3: of my lifetime. There's still a lot of shoe leather. 89 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 3: There's still a lot of getting to events. There's still 90 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 3: a lot of incoming calls people who say they're interested, 91 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 3: or emails and getting them what they need so that 92 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 3: you keep them excited. Find yourself a campaign right now 93 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 3: that you want to help, and don't put your emotions 94 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 3: on your sleeve. Don't go in because you'll be so 95 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 3: disappointed and burned out if you do. And focus on that, 96 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 3: candidate it and do everything you can to a march. 97 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 3: It's a brief period of time. It's a finite period 98 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 3: of time. Whether you're a young person or an old 99 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 3: person or wherever you are in between, get involved in 100 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 3: a campaign. They're going to be imperfect. You're gonna find 101 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,239 Speaker 3: out they cheated on their wife, or they got a DWI. 102 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: Or they filed a bankruptcy. 103 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 3: Figure that out ahead of time, and then figure out 104 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 3: if you want to work on this campaign, and then 105 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 3: go in and learn and enjoy it. 106 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: Continue with the Michael Barry Show. I don't want to 107 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 1: be a part of this nonsense, all right, Thank you. 108 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 3: A couple of them random stories I couldn't build into one, 109 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 3: but some audio bits I didn't get to yet that 110 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 3: I wanted to. 111 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: This is Hillary Clinton from last year. 112 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 3: She's on CNN and she's talking about the need of 113 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 3: social media companies to moderate content. 114 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: She says something very important. This is clip four o two. 115 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 3: She says, if social media companies don't moderate content, then 116 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,799 Speaker 3: we lose total control. 117 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 5: There should be a lot of things done. 118 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 6: We should be, in my view, repealing something called Section 119 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 6: two thirty, which gave platforms on the Internet immunity because 120 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 6: they were thought to be just passed throughs, that they 121 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 6: shouldn't be judged for the content that is posted. But 122 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,239 Speaker 6: we now know that that was an overly simple view 123 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 6: that if the platforms, whether it's Facebook or Twitter x 124 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 6: or Instagram or TikTok, whatever they are, if they don't 125 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 6: moderate and monitor the content, we lose total control. 126 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 3: Why do you need control control over what, control over 127 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 3: what the truth is and isn't, so that you can 128 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 3: call lies truth and the truth lies. We saw what 129 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 3: happened when social media took over during COVID. We saw 130 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,119 Speaker 3: where ivermectin, which, by the way, just this past week, 131 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 3: ivermectin is now being sold over the counter in the 132 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 3: state of Texas. We saw what happened this week when 133 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 3: ivermectin I mean, we saw what happened during COVID when 134 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 3: ivermectin was called horse paste. People were told not to 135 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 3: take it. But what they were told to take so 136 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 3: big farmer could make money was a shot. A shot 137 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 3: that killed my brother. He was only fifty four years old. 138 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 3: A shot that killed a lot of people. Go look up, 139 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 3: died suddenly. That's kind of the hashtag that ties all 140 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 3: these together. Look at how many young men, young black men, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, 141 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 3: eighteen years old bringing the ball up the court. One 142 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 3: case out of a kid I think out of Alabama 143 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 3: or Mississippi. He was a five star recruit. This kid 144 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 3: may have made it to the pros. He had the 145 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 3: stuff and he dies with a heart attack. Now that's 146 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 3: not to say there aren't random deaths. I understand that, 147 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 3: but they'll show you statistically, there's a traditional baseline about 148 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 3: the same number of people die in these random deaths. 149 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 3: You know a condition, a congenital heart condition that you 150 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 3: didn't know you had, but by in large, that doesn't 151 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 3: happen that often, and there's been a huge spike. What's 152 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 3: the one variable. The one variable is the COVID shot. Well, 153 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 3: if you criticize the COVID shot. I lost my Facebook 154 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 3: account at three hundred and fifty thousand followers. 155 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: It's not going to make me a. 156 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 3: Major social media influencer. Those are three hundred and fifty 157 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 3: thousand people who follow the show. So I could throw 158 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 3: ideas out there. Hey, does anybody know where I can 159 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 3: find this product? Or anybody have a suggestion on an 160 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 3: author who has talked about this, or a lecture series 161 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 3: or anybody tell me? You know, I use that knowledge 162 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 3: and that goes a long way. And there are people 163 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 3: who study things and never apply and never learn. Same 164 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 3: thing with the law. There are people who go to 165 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,959 Speaker 3: law school, get a laugery and never practice. And there 166 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 3: are people who practice but stay within a narrow area. 167 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: And then there are people. 168 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 3: Who are in prison who sit and read about the 169 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 3: law all day every day. This election time, and when 170 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 3: that happens, Greg Abbott starts playing Santa Claus here, We're 171 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 3: going to eliminate property taxes. He does it every election. 172 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 3: It's amazing it still works. We'll see if it does 173 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 3: this because he never actually does anything about it. Well, 174 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 3: now he is going after the Muslim communities. There's one 175 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 3: in Plano, Texas, or one in the Dallas area called Epic. 176 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 3: There's the meadow in Plano, and there's a guy named 177 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 3: Yasir Kadi. He's supposedly one of the main moving forces, 178 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 3: driving forces behind this whole thing. And here he is 179 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 3: giving a speech. And I want you to listen carefully 180 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 3: because I want you to hear. 181 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: What it was. 182 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 3: It Maya Angelo who said, or Tony Morrison. I can't 183 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 3: remember one of the two. I think it was my Angelo. 184 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 3: When people tell you who they are, believe them when 185 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 3: he says, participation in democracy is our jihad. This is 186 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 3: how we take over. Is that what you're seeking to 187 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,559 Speaker 3: do to take over? What does that mean? What are 188 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 3: you going to take over? And what will you do 189 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 3: when you do? When people use jihad, that's not your peaceful, moderate, peaceful, 190 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 3: tolerant Muslim. 191 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: That is the language of radicals. And I will tell you. 192 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 3: That Muslims understand what that language means, and they understand 193 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 3: how radicalism has destroyed countries, even almost exclusively Muslim countries. 194 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: Iran was once. 195 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 3: A a beacon of culture, cuisine, literature, architecture, art, commerce, 196 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 3: but after the Ayatola came in with a bunch of 197 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 3: goons and they promised to create the the shia Uh 198 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 3: high point in Islam. 199 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: They destroyed it. 200 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 3: Now nobody you ever hear anybody go to vacation, go 201 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 3: on vacation in Iran. You ever wonder why Damascus, Syria 202 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 3: was once a civil, civilizational leader in culture. Now it's 203 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 3: a backwater Islamic radical incubator. 204 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 1: Anyway, listen to this. We need to stand for election. 205 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 5: We need to take charge of our country. 206 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 7: If we don't do something, these seculars, these liberals, are 207 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 7: gonna come. 208 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 5: So they started giving fun to us. 209 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 7: One of the most famous one amongst them said, I 210 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 7: used to say that democracy is harmed. 211 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 5: Now why say participation in democracy. 212 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: Is our jihad. That's our Jihad's got to fight, not 213 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: through the bullets fed the ballats. 214 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 4: He literally made that phrase in Arabic. 215 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 3: That's going to be our jihad, going to the Poles 216 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 3: and making sure that we win. 217 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 7: What is your duty as a member of the Umah, 218 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 7: now that you are also an American, It is our 219 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 7: physical jiad duty to fight the entire earth until we 220 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 7: enter it into the Ummah. 221 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: Scott Bessen, I don't think I played this the other day. 222 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 1: I've got some. 223 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 3: Random quotes that wanted to get to our Treasury secretary, 224 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 3: who's turned out to be very very good. He was 225 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 3: speaking at the Hill and Valley Forum. 226 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: Probably some think tank. They probably turned out to awful, 227 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 1: but whatever. 228 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 3: I saw the quote, and he's making a very interesting 229 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 3: point about the FED and the problems we've had with 230 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 3: the FED. And he says something. This is not a 231 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 3: guy who speaks lightly or off the cuff. He thinks 232 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 3: about what he's going to say before he says it. 233 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 3: And he says something about the FED turning into a 234 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 3: universal basic income for PhD economists. I want you to 235 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 3: listen to this. I want you to think about what 236 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 3: he's saying and the consequences of it. 237 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 8: My worry is that the FED is turning into universal 238 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 8: basic income for PhD. 239 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: Eccom right, But I don't know what they do. They're 240 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: never right. If you were to me, you should. 241 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 7: Double the number of PhDs, if you go to seven hundred, 242 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 7: they might get it right. 243 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 8: Well, look, I mean if you were to look at 244 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 8: the central value tendency versus how they've done, it's shocking. 245 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: It's shocking. 246 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 8: I said, like if air traffic controllers did this, no 247 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 8: one to get in an airplane. 248 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 3: Jeff Bisos or Besos, however you want to say his name, 249 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 3: I've heard it both times. Is one weird dude. Weird's okay, 250 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 3: but he's a dude I think most people probably would 251 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 3: not like. Nevertheless, he is a guy who had a 252 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 3: vision and he made the vision happen, and it's pretty 253 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 3: staggeringly amazing how he pulled it off. I remember an 254 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 3: interview years ago when his company had switched, had pivoted 255 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 3: from selling books online to now picking up new products, 256 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 3: product lines, and he was disrupting the entirety of the 257 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 3: retail space, the retail process. 258 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:03,359 Speaker 1: He was going against Walmart. And at that time, Walmart 259 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: was the behemoth. You couldn't touch Walmart. People don't even 260 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: talk about Walmart anymore. Now they're still there, They're still powerful, 261 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: they still touch a lot of lives. In terms of 262 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: brick and mortar, they's still the dominant force. 263 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 3: But b Sos was speaking at the Stanford Graduate School 264 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 3: of businesses Entrepreneurship Conference in two thousand and five, and 265 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 3: I don't know about you, but I and every redneck 266 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 3: I know loves to talk about duct tape and. 267 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: WD forty, everything about it. 268 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 3: B Soce was telling a story about WD forty to 269 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 3: the Stanford Graduate School of Businesses Entrepreneurship Conference. And I 270 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 3: say that because it strikes me as the sort of 271 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 3: thing that they're not used to hearing about. 272 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: They like to hear about. 273 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 3: Data, and they like to hear about private equity and such. 274 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 3: The inscalability he's talking about a product. You know that 275 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 3: there's an old line if it moves and it shouldn't, 276 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 3: duct tape if it doesn't, and it should WD forty. 277 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 3: I grew up in a household my dad. It was 278 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 3: WD forty or duct tape on almost everything every day. 279 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: I love this story, and I hope you do too. 280 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 9: One of my favorites, w D forty was a small team, 281 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 9: a small company of three people got a government contract 282 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 9: to develop a some kind of coating that they could 283 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 9: put on the skin of Atlas missiles while they sat 284 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 9: in their silos to keep them from rusting. And they 285 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 9: worked on this for a long time to find this 286 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 9: right compound that would do this job, and finally did it. 287 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 9: It turned out that the Atlas missile market was a 288 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 9: fairly small one, so that the company wasn't really able 289 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 9: to make much progress. And what does w D forty 290 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 9: stand for? It stands for water displaced forty at a 291 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 9: ten and that's the name right out of the lab 292 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 9: book when they did all this work to invent w 293 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 9: D forty. So when they properly recognized the size of 294 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 9: the Atlas missile market, they started to think about a 295 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 9: different business plan. And the company is called the Rocket 296 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 9: Chemical Corporation, and it was their only chemical, it was 297 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 9: their only product. And so about ten years later they 298 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 9: renamed the company the WD forty Company. 299 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 5: And you know the rest is. 300 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 1: And they listened to the Michael Berry Show that. 301 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 10: I about you as a Catholic though no, it's true. 302 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 10: I both confirmed a Catholic back in the day.
