1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: This episode is brought to you by P and C Bank.

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: A lot of people think podcasts about work are boring,

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: and sure they definitely can be, but understanding a professionals

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: routine shows us how they achieve their success little by little,

5
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 1: day after day. It's like banking with P and C Bank.

6
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: It might seem boring to save, plan and make calculated

7
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 1: decisions with your bank, but keeping your money boring is

8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: what helps you live or more happily fulfilled life. P

9
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: and C Bank Brilliantly Boring since eighteen sixty five. Brilliantly

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: Boring since eighteen sixty five is a service mark of

11
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 1: the P and C Financial Service Group, Inc. P and

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: C Bank National Association Member FDIC. Then the cost of

13
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: houses it did rise for a little bit.

14
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: But the thing about Trump too is that he's kind

15
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: of like Kanye came. Remember I said that Elon Musk

16
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: is like Kanye. Trump is actually a lot he has

17
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: a lot of similarities to Kanye. Also, because remember they

18
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: were saying, like when Kanye Kan, he doesn't really read

19
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 2: a lot. He receives his information from people around him.

20
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: That's why he can't really explain things. And Trump is

21
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 2: the same way, like even if you're watching him yesterday,

22
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 2: like he doubled down, you would think by now, the

23
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,559
Speaker 2: first time he got asked the question, he had time

24
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 2: to research who the bid NaNs find out founder was.

25
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 2: He just doubled that.

26
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 3: He said, I don't know. Say I'm gonna tell you

27
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 3: something I don't know.

28
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 2: But so this goes back to Venezuela, Nigeria, a variety

29
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,199
Speaker 2: of different things. You could tell that people are telling

30
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: him things talking They're telling him high level talking points

31
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: that he can remember that it's easy to repeat. But

32
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: if you ask him like detailed questions, he hasn't. He

33
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 2: has no idea how to actually respond on it. So

34
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: he's but he's good at spinning it as far as

35
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 2: like brushing it off, deflecting, insulting people. But he's he's

36
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: he's getting fed a lot of information and very short

37
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 2: sound bites that he has actually no idea what he's

38
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: talking about.

39
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 3: How much do you believe? Like do you? I believe

40
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 3: him a lot?

41
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: Because when I when I heard the response, I thought

42
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: he was I didn't think he was going to double down.

43
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: He actually tripled down and said, I'm gonna break some

44
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: news here. I don't know who he is. But then

45
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 1: the very next line, I believe was when they asked

46
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: about bitcoin and he said he's not familiar with it,

47
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 1: and then they brought up the fact of his I mean,

48
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: his family's firm has made billions in bitcoin.

49
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 3: It was kind of like, I believe him a lot.

50
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 3: He's eighty years old.

51
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: I don't.

52
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't know how much of that is

53
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 3: you feel, like, what's true.

54
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 2: I think it's a high level as far as like

55
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 2: do I think he understands what nodes are and the

56
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,119
Speaker 2: inner workings of the blockchain.

57
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 3: No, I don't think that.

58
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: I don't think so at all. I think he knows

59
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: enough to have people in position because he's I mean,

60
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,119
Speaker 2: the guy's busy, right, he's running the country, he's doing

61
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 2: real estate, he's running. So it is understandable not to

62
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 2: be extremely knowledgeable in a variety of different things. And

63
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 2: I don't think he's. I don't think he's knowledgeable on

64
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 2: a lot of stuff, because you could just some stuff

65
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: you could just tell. You could just tell that he's

66
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 2: not knowledgeable. But he, like I said, he does a

67
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: good job at spinning things off. And even when he

68
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 2: was like, they came at me, they said that I

69
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 2: was in. The reporter actually did a terrible job at

70
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 2: countering that, because even if you have a low level

71
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: of education, you know you he was convicted of thirty

72
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 2: six felonies. He did get found guilty, and you're literally

73
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: on federal wire tap trying to rig an election.

74
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 3: But the way that he was just.

75
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 2: Able to spin it like they tried to frame me

76
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 2: and I was completely innocent and I got off. I'm like, you,

77
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: how did you get off? And you got convicted of

78
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 2: thirty six felonies?

79
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: Thirty I think it's thirty four, but I don't know

80
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: how it was edited. But I agree with you that.

81
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, no, there's a difference here. You work convicted.

82
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: I think that, and it might be a strategic way

83
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: for his own protection. Exactly when I heard him say that,

84
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, he's the first thing I thought if

85
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: I did not that I know anything about this, Like, look,

86
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: I'm on record, I don't know. I We're making eight billion,

87
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: but I'm not really sure what's happening over there. I

88
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: mean right, it's like almost like, oh, that was he

89
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: just protected himself by saying that.

90
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: I don't even think he's worrying about protecting him. So

91
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: he's the same guy that said I can go to

92
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: tom Squad and shoot somebody in the face and get away.

93
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: That was last administration. Last I mean everything that he's done,

94
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 2: everything that he's done so far, I'm pretty sure he

95
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 2: has very little care about protecting himself because.

96
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 3: Well, he's no protection around him. There's no consequences.

97
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 2: There's not who's gonna who's gonna hold who's gonna tell

98
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: him you're in trouble.

99
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 3: No better they put them in. It's impossible for now.

100
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: No, I'm saying for now, right, but his kids will

101
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: outlive him, right, and so like, could there be charges

102
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: that are brought allegedly I'm not saying that they're doing

103
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: anything fraudulent, but could they be charges in six years

104
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: or eight years?

105
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 3: Right if if.

106
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: They find something that I think that was like one

107
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: of those protective man That's just how I perceived it.

108
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 4: And all I know is whatever you did was CZ

109
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 4: you better not do with SBF. It's not gonna go

110
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 4: the same way. He's up on that on that council

111
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 4: part yet thirty years mm hmmm. It would look crazy,

112
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 4: But what do I know? What do I know?

113
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting right, Like the guy who creates

114
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: us uh A cryptos are says he knows nothing about bigcoin.

115
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: But that's David, Like, that's what I'm saying. But the

116
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 2: position was him saying he knows nothing about bitcoin might

117
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 2: not be a lie.

118
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 3: It might not be a.

119
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 2: Lie, but because relatively speaking, you could, I mean, no, no,

120
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 2: nothing is a is a is a vague term, right.

121
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: I think he knows enough to know what bigcoin is.

122
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 2: But if he had, like there was a big cooin quiz,

123
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 2: I think he would fail. But I think most people

124
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,119
Speaker 2: invested in bitcoin would fail a biitcoin quiz. Most people

125
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 2: don't really know what bigcoin. That's the scary part about

126
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: it because we don't even know the founder. Like there's

127
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 2: there's so much stuff about this, Like if you had

128
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: like a pop quiz on, most people that's investing in

129
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 2: bitcoin will fail a bitcoin quiz.

130
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 3: I'm not even disagreeing with that. I'm just saying, too.

131
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: Did There's there's something about being I don't want to

132
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: call it dumb, so smart that you're done right, You're

133
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: you're investing in the asset like you're currently.

134
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say the real answer to the quiz is

135
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 4: to deploy capital right like you're all that ship and

136
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 4: no your benefiting from it. And it's like knowing the

137
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 4: most and deploying the least does not make you a winner.

138
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 2: Canbody Somebody says right now, look, we got you know,

139
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 2: silver mine in Mexico and it's and it's guaranteed to

140
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: go up eighty seven percent every single year a presentation.

141
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 2: You got a billion dollars. Just I know for a

142
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 2: fact because I used to be a financial advisor, so

143
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: I understand that most wealthy people are not fully educated

144
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 2: on money at all. That's why they trust their advisors.

145
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 2: That's why they have a financial advisor. That's why somebody

146
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 2: like Bernie madeoff to run the biggest Ponzi scheme in

147
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 2: the history of the world. He's not just stupid people.

148
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 2: These are educated people. The owners of sports teams, these billionaires.

149
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 2: They didn't ask enough questions because they're trusting this person.

150
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: It's like, look, I gotta run a sports team, I

151
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 2: gotta do this, I gotta have a legal firm. You

152
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: can't be an expert in everything simultaneously.

153
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 3: It's tough.

154
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 2: That's why you have trusted advisors around you, and you're

155
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 2: trusting the advice The problem is that the people that

156
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 2: he has around him are giving him advice based off

Speaker 3: of it.

160
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:42,360

00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: ask a million and one questions you would. I'm just

170
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: saying as an average person, right, the average person is

171
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 2: just like, all right, these are my friends. They're all rich,

172
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 2: we have a trust, we've made money together before. I

173
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,559
Speaker 2: understand enough to understand the play. All right, I'm pushing

174
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 2: it through.

175
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 3: But there's an understanding that.

176
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 2: But that's like, but I mean, George Bush went to

177
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 2: war and didn't even understand what he was doing.

178
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 3: Made him.

179
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 2: They made him go to war off of misinformation. He

180
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: didn't Literally the longest war in the United States history

181
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 2: and they had they had a five star general get

182
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 2: in front of the United Nations and completely lie.

183
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 3: So to me, but I think, how far I deep

Speaker 3: I agree.

186
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: I'm saying that is true, which is why I think

187
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: it's like I'm gonna say I know nothing to protect

188
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: myself even though.

189
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 3: I haven't understand it. I think that's true if it

Speaker 3: goes right or wrong. Yeah, I don't know nothing. I'm
