1 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: Calls media. Okay, you are more than welcome to. As 2 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: a matter of fact, I'm begging you to send this 3 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,799 Speaker 1: to the homies. Okay, that's why this one's on video. 4 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: There's another hood of politics tapping, you know how well, 5 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:21,639 Speaker 1: let me say it better like this. When I was 6 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 1: a kid, especially in high school, you know, during the 7 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: height of my back, my rapidy, backpacker, underground years. The 8 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 1: thing is I would feel really embarrassed about not knowing 9 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: a group they was talking about, or had not heard 10 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: the album that they were talking about, and I would 11 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: just lie, just be like, oh yeah, nah, I heard it. 12 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: That one slaps. I still think people do that now, 13 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:56,279 Speaker 1: But I remember feeling like if I didn't know this 14 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: song or that song, and I would pretend like I 15 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: knew the words. I tease. People are real about people 16 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: not knowing the words of songs, you know what I'm saying, 17 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: Like it was some sort of sign of your part 18 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: of the end group. On the other hand, you know, 19 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: there are groups, bands, whatever that you was just not 20 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: supposed to like, like this whole absolute disdain for Nickelback. 21 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: I know I'm old, but I don't know of any 22 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 1: new bands that you absolutely absolutely are supposed to despise. 23 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 1: The point I'm trying to make is you ever really 24 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: heard a Nickelback album. So it's okay if you haven't. 25 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: It's just before you make your decision. I'm just saying 26 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: you should listen to it. I feel the same about politics. 27 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: The worst thing you could be in America is a 28 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: communist or a Marxist. Now let me ask you this. 29 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: You ever read any Karl Marx? Do you really understand 30 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: his position on labor? Tap in with me. So this 31 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: is my encouragement maybe to just do a little bit 32 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: of homework. Okay. Now, I'm not asking you to become 33 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: a chairman, mile out this mug. I'm not asking you 34 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: to stop momentum in the ways for which you have 35 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: been growing and feeding your family or yourself. I'm not 36 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: asking you to do that. I'm just saying, before you 37 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: start deciding what this boogeyman is, just read a little bit. Now. 38 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: What I don't want to do to Carl Marx is 39 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: what Donald Trump has done with the Big Beautiful Bill Act, 40 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: which is saying you have to take everything on this 41 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: menu or none of it. My grandma was like that. 42 00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: When she used to cook, she would say this is 43 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 1: what I'm made. You either have this or sleep. I'll 44 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: be like, Okay, first of all, it's like ten of 45 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: us here, so like, I don't understand why I can't 46 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: just have the ribs and hold off on a mac 47 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: and cheese. You either had a whole plate or none 48 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: of the plate. I'm not gonna do that to you. 49 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: About Karl Marx. K that's what Trump did with the 50 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: big beautiful bill. You had to take everything. I'm just 51 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: going to drop in on, let's just say some of 52 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: his labor theories. Okay. Essentially Marxism kind of works like this. 53 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: The workers own the means of manufacturing, meaning if I 54 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,119 Speaker 1: made it, I should own a piece of you. See 55 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: how simple that is. Now, if you grew up in 56 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: any sort of church, you were supposed to believe that 57 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: Marxism was godless. I'm not gonna make you take the 58 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: whole menu. I'm just gonna like, have you just consider this. Okay, Feudalism, 59 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: you guys, Feudalism surf dumb, the thing that was before capitalism. Now, 60 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: please don't confuse which I've said this before. Capitalism with commerce, 61 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: Commerce is just buying and selling stuff. You make something, 62 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: you sell it, that's commerce. Capitalism is a whole different infrastructure. 63 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: But let's go back to feudalism. Right. You live on 64 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: this vassal of land owned by some sort of noble right, 65 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: And none of the main characters in any of our 66 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: medieval shows or turn of the century shows are the 67 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: people that live on these lands. The main characters are 68 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 1: the owners of the lands, right, the network of incestuous 69 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: born children who believe that because they born in this situation, 70 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: that they somehow divine and supposed to be owning this land. Anyway, 71 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: it works like this. You got some pigs, you got 72 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: some animals, you got some vegetables. You grow your vegetables 73 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: as your herds. You live off what you created. But 74 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: remember you don't own these lands. These lands are owned 75 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: by some sort of noblemen. Right, So what you do 76 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: is you pay a little bit of tribute to that 77 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: noble person. Right. Sometimes those tributes were predatory, right, you know, 78 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: but generally speaking it worked like I was feudalism. Right. 79 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: You have all these different lands. You work the land, 80 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: the lands owned by a certain person. That person takes 81 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: tribute for our percentage of whatever you've grown, right, whatever 82 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: you were able to take to the market and sell. Right. 83 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: So I created this product. I'm a blacksmith. I made 84 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 1: this product right. Or I got these animals. I grew 85 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: these animals. Right. I pay a percentage to the nobleman, 86 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: and then I go to the bizarre or the market, 87 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: and I buy and sell and trade and whatever money 88 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: I make, right, I may pay percentage back to the 89 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: to the nobleman. But the thing is the fruit of 90 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: my labor was the product, and I own the product 91 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 1: because I worked for the product. Now granted it came 92 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: out of somebody else's land, and I'm paying for the 93 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 1: usage of that land, if you will. But what I'm 94 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: selling is the object that I created or that I've grown. 95 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: Makes sense, It's feudalism. Now what capitalism came in and 96 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: did is said that. Okay, listen, I am not buying 97 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: the product you created. I am purchasing your time. Does 98 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: that make sense? And the market says your eight hours, 99 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: your hour of time is worth a dollar amount. I 100 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 1: put a dollar amount on your life, yo, yo, time 101 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: is worth this much, and that is what I'm buying. Right. 102 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 1: You go to work and they pay you not for 103 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: the product you created, but for your time because you 104 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: don't own the product the company does. Does that make sense? 105 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: You are getting compensated not for the product you created, 106 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: but for the time it took to make that product. Now, 107 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: the return on that investment for the owner the corporation 108 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: is ten times yours what your eight hours produced. If 109 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: you just let's say you just work in a retail store, 110 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: you made two hundred three, three hundred and fifty dollars. 111 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: They made thirty thousand dollars based on all the products 112 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: they were. Well, they were the ones that paid for 113 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: the pieces, the materials and stuff like that. Okay, fine, 114 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: I'm just saying what capitalism says is what I am 115 00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: buying and trading is not the product but the person's labor. 116 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: I am buying your labor, and what you are getting 117 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: out of that is your paycheck. This seems a bit 118 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: unjust to Karl Mars, because he's like, well, then how 119 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: come workers got to work check to check and I'm 120 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: actually working harder, right, but owners are in private jets. 121 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: What he was saying is there's got to be a 122 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: way to fix that discrepancy. It seems like for the 123 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:40,199 Speaker 1: same product, which is your time, they are making billions. 124 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: You are making a couple hundred, but it's your time. 125 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: You sold your time to this company. He was saying, 126 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: this is a flaw on capitalism. He was like, look, 127 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: capitalism has requires people willing to sell their time. You 128 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: have to have someone here that's willing to now check 129 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: this out. If you were the business owner in the beginning, 130 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: you were selling your own time right in hopes to 131 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: get a return on your work, and the return is 132 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: the success of your business. But when your business started succeeding, 133 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: you had to buy someone else's time. They are not 134 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,199 Speaker 1: getting the same rewards as you are because you worked longer. 135 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: It's because you work harder. I don't know. All Karl 136 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: Marx was saying is I think this is unjust because 137 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 1: you wouldn't be that wealthy if you weren't buying at 138 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: a fraction of the cost these people's time. Does that 139 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 1: make sense. I'm buying your time, Daddy, come home exhausted, 140 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: You barely know your children. You missed out on all 141 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: these things because you had to go work, and most 142 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: of us got to go work two three foe jobs. Right. 143 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: He was saying, this is a flaw in this. So 144 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: one of his suggestions was I don't know the answer, 145 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: but just maybe maybe the workers should get more of 146 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: an incentive on their time. Maybe they should own a 147 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: part of the product that they made, because I mean, 148 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: they didn't make it. You wouldn't have a company if 149 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: nobody was making your products. Sure, you bought the materials, 150 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: but that's what you did. You paid for those materials, 151 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: and you gotta return on your investment. Okay, Well, what 152 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: you're gonna do with those materials unless you got people 153 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: to work your factories? Okay, so you gave me the product, 154 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna work the product. But I don't own 155 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 1: what I just made. And I don't think Mark is 156 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: saying I should own all of it. He's just saying 157 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: it just seemed like this, the gap between the two 158 00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: just feel a little like this is this is only 159 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 1: going to cause problems in the future. You are going 160 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: to inevitably have people periodically rebel because they see how 161 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: well you live in and how hard they live in. 162 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: That's just it's just one of his theories. Now again, 163 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm really trying to radicalize y'all into 164 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: becoming Marxists.
