"two politicians" Discussed on What Bitcoin Did
"But then you get into this gold Bitcoin comparison, then it's like, well, it breaks down pretty fast. But when you talk about divisibility and fungibility and transportability and all these principles of money, I think the gold comparison analogy works, it goes pretty far, farther than censorship resistant sound money. Yeah. But with the conference, are there lots of conferences like this on all different subjects that a whole bunch of politicians will go to, or is this one quite unique? I don't know. It is a weird confluence of things, because usually you have an industry conference where politicians don't go at all. It's like, you know, it's the XYZ, oil and gas conference, or it's the banker's conference. And that's just all industry people. Or you have a, you know, lifestyle conference or just like a big conference that a bunch of sort of, it's like a B2C conference, if you will, right? Like a lot of enthusiasts of whatever the conference is about. So politicians will go there because they want to be in front of voters. And so this is a hybrid and it's a weird mix. And especially the Bitcoin industry is in pop culture, but it's also in business. It's like, it's all the way from philosophical things around, you know, censorship resistant sound money, all the way to like energy contracts and, you know, things on the very nuanced business side. So I do think it is a weird animal. But does the conference have influence then? So will the things we talked about here, will they have some reach? Does the media pick it up? Does it get in front of other politicians who aren't there? What role does it serve there? I would say in the years past, we've had a mild media presence, you know, 30 or 40 journalists, maybe 10 from the mainstream media. This year, we're excited because we've just got confirmation from a bunch of like local TV stations, like the ABC, NBC affiliates, they're sending camera crews, like, that's who I want to be, you know, I want them to be filming RFK's talk or wherever. And I want it to be shown the six o'clock news to the average person in the DFW area or the Austin area or, you know, there's a group coming from, you know, there's journalists coming from all over the country. But the majority of them are coming from Texas, I want that local media to be educated on it. And that's where all politics is local. Politicians have or elected officials have groups of people that are constituents that they answer to. So if you can get down to that nuance, like voter on the six o'clock news, and start educating them and the staffer is watching that and they know that all of their constituents in that, you know, small area, like each Texas senator represents about a million Texans. Now state senator, right? Because there's two federal senators, but there's 31 state senators. And each representative represents just a few hundred thousand voters. That's not that many. If you only need to change a few minds, and for some people to get vocal and start sending emails and calling to change the mind of an elected official. We have a distinct lack of people, people like you in the UK doing things like this. We do have the Bitcoin policy in the UK, which Freddie New is operating, but we have a distinct lack of momentum and action behind this. I can think of two politicians in total, two MPs in total have even remotely mentioned Bitcoin or crypto generally, it's just, there's nothing, we have no momentum, we don't really have much momentum against it, we don't really have much momentum for it. It's interesting. How does grassroots politics work in the UK? So again, I probably know a bit more about American politics and UK politics these days. So we have local councils, and local councils are made up of councillors representing different parties. So where I am in Bedford, I'm pretty sure we are, we used to historically, I think, be a liberal Democrat area. Lib Dems, as they say, but I love UK politics, by the way. So our current mayor in Bedford is a conservative mayor, and there's a lot of horse trading that goes on. I don't know much about UK local politics. At a national level, we have the Parliament, where the MPs sit, and then we have the House of Lords, the unelected House of Lords. But you have a multi-party democracy, which is far more effective than a two-party one. So I can see both sides of it. Because yes, we do, but I think it brings everyone to the middle. Which is good. Yes and no. Well, I guess from an American perspective, it's good, because we're sitting at like a crazy polarized, you know, can't get anything done place. But the other side of it is when everything gets pulled to the center, you kind of find that everyone just agreeing on everything. There's certainly a fundamental difference between the parties. But really, the Conservative Party now is just a slightly right of center. And the Labour Party is slightly left of center. I don't know if you think I'm being unfair here, but I just feel like, I don't know, I feel like we don't have a strong Conservative Party anymore. We don't really have a strong Labour Party anymore. I don't really know what anyone stands for. They also kind of stand for the same things, which are kind of social issues, like virtue signaling issues. There's no real strong policy anymore in the UK. You think I'm being unfair? No, I think that's probably pretty fair. I mean, I've just taken a distinct lack of interest in it recently, because I don't even know what I'm voting for anymore. And y'all are still first past the post, right? You don't have like any ranked choice voting or anything? First past the post, yeah. In Germany, they're experimenting with ranked choice voting. Well, hold on. So we do, but you do have to get some, like a majority, and if you don't, then you do get these coalitions, like previously when the Conservative Party didn't have a majority, they had to go into coalition with the Lib Dems, which pretty much killed the Lib Dems at that time. But sorry, you were saying about Germany? I think the ranked choice voting concept could revitalize a lot of these Western democracies. Okay. Why is that? So Andrew Yang is a big proponent of it. He'll also be at the conference, and I love when he talks about this. It's a very sort of decentralized concept. It like brings, you know, kind of meshes, brings in blockchain, this concept of decentralization to politics. So your vote, you basically write a list, and you rank your candidates from one to however many candidates are in the race, and then your first place person, if your ballot, if that first place person has the least number of first place votes, then that person, all of that person's first place ballots goes to their next number two candidate. So eventually there's this sorting process, and you, you know, are able to really get at the true nature of what that voter wanted through his or her preferences on a ranked choice ballot list, whether, rather than just like sitting in there and be like, I don't want either of these people. Well, I think it's going to be a wild year. In a lot of ways. Yeah. I mean. Bitcoin ETF. US elections. Halving. Halving. Danny thought the ETF was going to get announced today. I thought it was going to. I think it's going to be this week. You think it's going to be this week? I hope so. Okay. Do y'all call it the halvening or the halving? The halving. I call it the halving, but some of these, some of the CEOs of Bitcoin mining companies that I work with call it the halvening. I think the halving is always like a shitcoin word. Halvening? Yeah. I think that's what shitcoin is like. It's the halving. I say the halving, but yeah, I've heard some publicly traded mining CEOs say the halvening and I'm just like, are they wrong or am I wrong? So our football team, our men's football team, their program's called the white paper. And this weekend, the ladies had a big FA cup game. So we did their first ever program and we called it the halving. I still think it should have been public address. Yeah. I just saw halves and gave them two halves. And so like, I was like, do I call it the halvening or the halving? I was like, it's definitely the halving. It's definitely the halving. All right, man. Listen, anything I've not asked you about, anything you've not told me about this conference, you want to tell us about while people are listening, because we're going to put this out before. Okay. So I think the biggest thing is, you know, let's come out and support Fort Worth for taking a big risk on Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining and, you know, see where it takes us. The city's really interested to see how this goes. I think they could probably do more if they see positive results. Well, I say congratulations for everything you've done on this stuff. Watch you build this up. I've said I've been to the, this will be my third one. How many have you actually done? Just three. Oh, so I've been to all of them. Yeah. There you go. That's how much of a fan I am. You, Nick Carter and Senator Cruz are the only people that have spoken and been invited to speak at all three. I don't know any other scenario where me, Nick Carter and Senator Cruz all does a bit the same. But no, I love it. I mean, I have a great time every year. It is a different audience. You know, it's good to see you and your good wife as well. And yeah, I look forward to it, man. And we're here a week. I've actually planned it in a way. I'm getting the red eye on Friday so I can get home for the football. So I'm literally navigating football to do this. But OK, if people want to get it. And you're going to get a big award. Yeah. What's this all about? The Goodfellas Award. Have you just given me this so I come? So we partnered with the Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute. And we did something. They actually had RFK at their event recently. And we went out there and supported them. And they gave me an award. And I just got to know these really great people. And they educate sovereign wealth funds around the world on different industry verticals. And so they were like, hey, we need you to come talk about alternative assets and things like that. And so they didn't, not from an investment advisor perspective, just more philosophically and conceptually. And so they were giving away these awards to people. It's the Goodfellas Award, Global Order of Outstanding Disruptors is what it stands for. It's an acronym. And they take all of these medals from the UK because the gentleman who runs it is, I think, a dual Indian UK citizen. And so he takes all of these medals from past wars from Great Britain and repurposes them. And so you'll get a medal that was given to some colonel or general in the Crimean War or something. Oh my god, that's amazing. And it'll be in a big plaque. And it'll talk about your accomplishments. It's got a very old world feel to it. It's very cool. Yeah, I'm very humbled by it. Miss El Salvador is also getting one. So you and Miss El Salvador. And if Kathy Wood had come, she would have received one. But we couldn't get her to come. That's two weird lists I've been in in a few seconds. Well, listen, I'm humbled by it. And I just appreciate everything you're doing. And I hope you turn a profit. And I hope it just gets bigger and better. And yeah, roll on. Is it? We're going Thursday, Friday. Let's roll on Thursday, Friday. And thanks for having me again. I really appreciate it, man. Yeah, thanks for coming. Right. Where do people go? Tell them where to go. North American blockchain summit.com. North American Bitcoin summit. There you go. We should buy that address and get it redirected. Please tell me you've got that address. I think we probably have. Lee, I appreciate you, man. Yes, sir. Thank you.All righty. What do you make of that? Are you here? Have you come out for the summit? If you have come to say hello, me and Danny will be down there. We'll also be trying to get some beers in at some point. We've only actually got one night left. So if you listen to this today, come find where we are, we'll be out some bar, some saloon, knocking back some beers. Yes, massive fan of Lee. Just want to say a massive thanks to him. He's invited me every year to the summit, and I've always been just blown away by the level and quality of people he gets in. He crushes it. And now some of you, some of us I know think we should ignore the politicians. I don't. I think it's good to get them on board. I think it's good to help them understand why Bitcoin is so important. So well done, Lee. Love you, man. Thanks for everything you've done. Yeah, tomorrow I'm going to be heading back to Bedford, going to be going back. And I think our next trip is going to be Africa. Me and Danny are going to be heading out there at the end of November. We're going to the Ghana conference. We're going to be making another film. It's going to be busy, busy times. All right. Love you all. I'll see you all soon. If you've got any questions, you know how to get in touch, it's hello at what Bitcoin did dot com. Thank you. Bye bye.

I'm Chris karashi. You're listening to masters in business with Barry riddles on Bloomberg radio. I'm Barry holt's you're listening to masters in business on Bloomberg radio, my extra special guest today is Albert wenger. He is the managing partner at Union Square ventures. They have invested in such companies as coinbase DuoLingo Etsy and Twitter, so let's talk about the current state of the world for venture capitalists. We've seen valuations come way down for public companies. They're pretty reasonably priced these days about 16 times for the S&P 500. That's historically more or less average, where do you see the state of the world in early stage valuations? How are they holding up? A year ago, late stage valuations had gone just bonkers, tell us a little bit about what's going on today. The correction always basically is a trickle down type of correction. It happens very rapidly in the public markets, then you still get some high price private rounds that either were in the works or they have a lot of structure in the later stage markets. There's a headline number, but then nobody talks about all the warrant coverage that's behind the scenes. And then the early stage valuations tend to lag behind all of that. But we're seeing early stage valuations come down and as a firm we've always been disciplined on valuations. So we just let a lot of things go where we just thought it was. Are they down off the peak or are they cheap and attractive? The down of the peak, whether they're cheap or attractive, I think time will tell. But we are back in a situation where there are seat deals getting done at below $10 million, certainly below $20 million. And seed rounds that have a reasonable size. So for a while we were seeing these ten, 20, $30 million seed routes. Sounds pricey. Yeah, and that's not happening anymore. But it just we've also always tried to basically be at the next thesis and evolve our thesis before everybody else gets there. And once everybody else gets there, try and evolve our thesis. So for example, in the climate fund, we've made any number of reasonably priced investments. It's very reasonably priced. So I always assumed it was tied to the public markets, but sometimes you just don't realize when you have a good couple of years in a row in the public markets, you see that impact in what people are looking for, what sort of deals get done. And valuations generally. I always find it relatively surprising how much private early stage valuations are tied to public markets because the exit, right? But our holding periods are 5, 8, ten years. And so what's the current public? And so there's a couple of different explanations. One obviously is just investor sentiment, right? When investors are bearish because of what they're seeing in the public markets, they take a bearish attitude towards their own investing. We try as soon as we have interests. We tried to have a pretty steady pace as one way of counteracting our own sort of whatever our own emotions may be about the public markets. There is, however, another effect that sometimes is underestimated, which is that the people who give money into venture funds. So these are pension funds and endowments and so forth. They have a certain website from the public markets because when they're feeling flush on the public markets, then their private allocation as a percentage of their overall portfolio. They have a certain target in mind. When the public markets come down a lot, all of a sudden they're over allocated. So they want to pull back. So there is a mechanism by which the current public markets transmit into the private markets. There's a real financial mechanism. There's a psychological mechanism and a real financial mechanism by which some transmission some contagion basically happens from the public markets and department of money. But it doesn't make very much sense. Like if people were sort of more cognizant of both the emotional reaction and this mechanism, they'd be like, well yeah, but innovation is happening at some pace in some area. There's some innovation that we should be funding that innovation. So I'm just making notes and investors are irrational. So profound insight right here. There you go. You never heard this one before. So to put that into a little context, 2020, 2021, very founder friendly deals. Now it seems like a little more investor friendly. Their assessment or not quite there yet. Well, when it comes to founder friendly versus investor friendly, there's a lot more to a deal than valuation is all the other terms. And while I believe we will see a correction on valuation that's pretty significant, I don't think we're going to go back to where venture capital was 20 or 30 years ago that had all these super draconian terms. Certainly, even at the early stage, even at the early stage they were all these they were redemption provisions in early stage deals. I don't think that's going to come back. We are not fans of structure in later stage deals like just to give you a good example. When I was still on the board of Twilio, Twilio had the option of doing a totally clean no structure round at call it a ¥1 billion and a highly structured round with we're going to have a full ratchet into an IPO at a 1 billion 5 and some of the other investors at the table really wanted the 1 billion 5 number basis, the bigger headline number. And I talked to Jeff and I said, just to make any sense. You don't actually know what you deal with until many years. Just take the deal where you know what the deal is today and you know what the deal is a year from now and two years from now because it's not going to change based on circumstances. And so Jeff took the clean deal and that enabled Twilio to go public when the IPO window reopened, whereas if the 1 billion 5 deal, they wouldn't have been able to go public. And it worked incredibly well for Twilight to become a public company. Really interesting. So since we're comparing early stage investments to the public world, lately everybody has been looking at different sectors of the past year energy has done well. Technology not so much. Within venture, do you see that same sort of segmentation, different sectors have different? Well, we were basically the first sort of venture firm to have a dedicated climate fund. And now many other venture firms are falling suit, either adding a climate pocket to the existing funds or a climate thesis or some people call us sustainability fund hours is very focused on climate. So for instance, we don't deal with water waste. It's strictly about atmospheric carbon. So there's a lot of money rotating into that sector. There's still a healthy set of activity around web three. I do think that certain software companies that had found it very easy to raise money. I think of finding it a lot harder just because people have looked at it and said, wow, I think we've reached some stage of normalization in this market. So some of the folks who give advice to founders like chamath and Jason and the crew at the all

Desantis said the move is to put this issue on the front burner for sanctuary cities who often don't directly bear the brunt of people arriving at the border. This comes after Texas governor Greg Abbott's decision to bust migrants to democratic lead cities, such as Washington, D.C., and New York.

You're listening to masters in business with Barry riddles on Bloomberg radio. I'm Barry results you're listening to masters and business on Bloomberg radio. My extra special guest this week is Albert vendor. He is managing partner at Union Square ventures, whose portfolio companies include such firms as coinbase, DuoLingo, Etsy, and Twitter. He is the author of the book the world after capital, describing the digital shift to the knowledge economy. So let's talk a little bit about this book. Starting with what is technological, non linearity. I like that phrase. The basic idea is that every once in a while, in humanity's history, we invent things that radically change what we as society have as a binding constraint on us. So let me make that very concrete. For hundreds of thousands of years, our ancestors were foragers. They were hunter gatherers. They would go out and find things. And eat berries and kill little squirrels. And then roughly 10,000 years ago, we had a bunch of inventions. We figured out that you could plant seeds that you could irrigate them that you could domesticate animals that you could use the dung from the animals to as a fertilizer. We figured all those things out and we got agriculture. And the constraints shifted from how much food can you find to how much land arable land do you have? And when that constraint shifted, we changed just about everything about how humanity lives. Like we went from being migratory to being sedentary. We went from very flat tribal societies to very hierarchical agrarian societies. We went from being clearly like polygamous polyamorous, whatever you want to call it, to being monogamous ish. We went from having religions where everything was a spirit, a tree, a rock, everything had a spirit in it. We went from that to theistic relations where there was some defined number of gods. Then fast forward to a couple hundred years ago, we had sort of the enlightenment with the enlightenment we had scientific breakthroughs and we figured out how to dig up stuff out of the ground and burn it and create energy and make heat and electricity and all those things. And the constraint shifted again, it shifted from how much land do you have to how much physical capital can you create? How many machines can you build? How many buildings roads, railroads, et cetera? That's really interesting. And we changed everything yet again. And so now the point of the book is, guess what? We have to change everything yet again because capital this is why the book is called the world of a capital capital is no longer the binding constraint. Instead, it's human attention. Human attention. So that's the third great shift is. So we went from agricultural scarcity to having enough food. We went from forger to agrarian. So from food scarcity to land scarcity. Then we went from land scarcity to capital city. And now we're going from capital scarcity to attention scarcity. Capital is no longer scarce, so now a tension is the new scarcity, which there's a line in the book that really caught my eye attention is time plus intentionality. Explain that. Yeah, so speech just tells you how fast you're going. Velocity to tells you how fast you're going towards something towards some destination. Speed plus direction. Speed, plus

"Quite useful, I think. Will we be talking about party Gates years from now? This is the first premiere found to have broken the law while on the job. Oh yes, I think we will. And I think we'll be talking about today for years to come. This won't just be a footnote in history. This will generate I think hundreds of articles and probably tens of books. I would have thought even by Christmas, we'll see some stocking fillers talking about these couple of days. We spoke with Frank luntz today. He spoke on balance of power here on Bloomberg. About the way the people feel we've been talking so much about government process here and what's happening with parliament. This is Frank luntz of, he's a pollster, of course, speaking with Bloomberg about this. Honesty and integrity are core issues to the American people and to the British people. And they've come to believe that Boris Johnson is not as honest and as forth right as he should be, which is why you see all this consternation right now. I question whether Boris Johnson will still be the prime minister of 14 days from today. 14 days from today, Tim bell, what's your thought? Well, I think that's probably too long a period of time. I mean, I would question whether he'll still be the prime minister at the end of this week. And certainly by the end of next week, I would have thought he'll have to go. He's bleeding out. I mean, if you look at the number of people resigning from the government, if you look at the number of MPs who are publishing letters of no confidence on social media, his support is just running out, draining away. And so I just don't see how he stays, but you raise an important point and Frank luntz raises an important point here. The trust of the British people in Boris Johnson is completely shot. They see him as a liar as a charlatan, as someone who needs to go and go now. That was the case before today. I think after today, the numbers of people who want him out and want him out now will be even higher. How important is this news that just broke a short time ago firing a key cabinet minister Michael gove to show that he's fighting back somehow? Well, there's a lot of personal history between those two politicians. Boris Johnson wanted to stand for the leadership of the Conservative Party in 2016 and Michael go famously knifed him in the back or something in the same front and prevented him from standing. So there is something personal going on there. But the problem is also that Michael gove is responsible for the government's flagship economic policy, the so called leveling up of left behind areas if he goes, then who is in charge of that particular policy. So it just increases the sense of a government in complete meltdown and drift. I feel like I need to move to London. I mean, this Washington stuff is feeling kind of boring, Tim, don't you think? Well, listen, I mean, I've just tweeted, you know, that July 6th is beginning to look like January the 6th without storming over the legislature. I mean, we have someone who is not acknowledging that it is time for them to go. And as I say, I'm in some ways loss for words, which isn't a good thing to be on radio. But I've just never seen anything like this in my lifetime of watching and observing policy. And I never imagined it would get this serious. I always thought that in the end, Boris Johnson would come to terms with reality and go, albeit unwillingly, but it seems he's determined not to do so. Your perspective is greatly valuable to us. Tim bale, Queen Mary University of London, many thanks for being with us today. On the fastest hour in politics, I'm Joe Matthews sitting here in Washington trying to make sense of it all.

They want to change the foundation of the country and they wanted their Communist. Right. Joe Biden is just go with everybody is like, I don't know I got to watch. I don't want to be rude, Rude because I can be rude, rude. The word that just came to my mind. I'm not going to stay in the air, but he's like that He'll do whatever he has to do to get anything. Whatever whatever keeps him in office, he'll do anything. No moral compass, no moral fiber at all. And then Hollywood. A lot of the elitists are like that, too. How do you not elect a black man from the neighborhood? How do you not like like, How do you How do you go? How does Kamala Harris go out there? And this is what kills me about the politics Cameron Harrison, Joe Biden locked up more young black Americans than any two politicians ever anywhere at any time. Now she's the one who's campaigning for Gavin Newsom. She goes back out there Capital. Harris's grandparents were slave owners. Why we why, Where's black Life matters on that one. Yeah, I'm just objectively asking. Tell me, I'm wrong. Tell me I'm crazy because I'm listening. And then Joe Biden, Joe Biden. And you know Newsom's out their bed. You know, handsome Gavin Newsom. Gavin to bring an end the president? What? What? What? What They're bringing in now. You can't do that, man. You can't bring the president and he has no idea what they it is, you know? No, they're bringing in Biden. Oh, so now you see loose, um at the tarmac. With Biden and Newsom in his mind. He's going like Oh, God, please just kids. Stay away from me. Okay? Don't don't get in the same picture. Hey, Lizard man, it's politics and show business. But the point is in the Hollywood there so elitist. That they're trying to own the governor of California, and in fact they did. In fact, they do. You know. So Larry is a guy from the streets from the neighborhood from South Central who understands the black community and I'm sick of this. I'm sick of this. This divide this racist divide while I'm on fire this morning. And we're going to make way for Steve Scalise in a second in your phone calls, But I've had it because when you're just racist divide, the racism comes to the people who are calling us Racists. They are racist. And it's coming from the corporations who placate black lives matter. Black lives matter is racist. They're racist. BLM is racist. When I heard black lives matter, and I first heard it. I said it on this show. And it must be an audio somewhere where I just said this is great. No, I think this is great. We have black lives matter. It's about time. I thought black lives matter was going to get Barack Obama and Michelle and they were going to go to inner cities all around the United States and rebuild the inner cities and bring back manufacturing back and bring business back and really rebuild the inner cities. And I know it would take 10 20 years, Maybe 30 years of full generation it would take to turn it around. To weed out all the gang gangs and to help those folks and stressed areas of America. That's what I thought black lives matter was standing for the It's a political Marxist organization. And it's used and there you the narrative is false. Who do they blame the police? They blame the place and last I looked at the police. They were. They were underneath the two towers that came crashing down because Islamic terrorists Rand planes into the World Trade Center. Those that have last I looked at said in my P D on the back of a lot of those people that went in to save other people and went to ground zero. You know, along with the f, d, N y and all the other first responder. The last time I still an NYPD police the police is when they went underwater in Queens in the district of AOC. And they and people died and drowned. But the police officers still held his breath in murky, sewer strewn waters and when and try to save these people. And then the order said in the back of his that gentleman's Parker, NYPD. That's what it said. And this is what BLM This is who BLM is attacking. These people that say people where in the areas where black lives matter will not go the inner cities of America. They will not go and stop this pandemic in Chicago and East ST Louis, Illinois, in New Orleans in south central in all the cities Indianapolis and all the cities around America, they won't go and they won't help. So And is that politically correct? You shouldn't say that about BLM. I'm saying it. I'm saying it And you got America Communist man in New York, who writes the words Black lives matter, um, on the outside of Trump Tower. Donald Trump's The only president that I know of correct me if I'm wrong that actually help the black community. Can someone help me here? They and you want me to go through all the policies that worked under this last administration as you accused me of being a quote unquote trump guy, and I'm not. I'm not. I just vote. I'm voting for whoever helps the country And with Donald Trump goes out, and he has a released too early release for incarcerated Black youth. And and and black and African Americans who perhaps were wrongly accused. And he has a rehabilitation program, the first step program that bring people out when I see a president help out historic black colleges and universities that young voting for that guy I'm when I see a president that has something called opportunity zones where you go into the inner cities like I've been railing about for years on this radio show. Don't get me started. You're not wrong. I You're not wrong, and I know how frustrating it is because I'm as frustrated as you are. Do not understand what's going on, and we got to watch this fiasco with Blinken. This guy, the secretary of state with an embarrassment, but the Republicans stood up. It was nice to see the Republicans stood up. We got I have so much to get into. And I just You know what? I just here to tell you and speak the truth that you're not wrong. You're not wrong about that. About not wanting to get vaccinated. You're not wrong. They don't have enough stats. They're not giving us the race statistics. They're lying about everything. This I would tell you. There's a virus out there. How God made? I don't know. But I tell you, the molecular structure of this Wuhan virus is deadly and you got to watch it and be careful.

How're you doing? Sorry to keep you waiting. What's in the morning? Joe. I just want to say good morning to you and thank God that you have the courage and the bravery that God puts into your heart every morning to speak the truth about our diabolical, diabolical administration. That doesn't care about the American people. Obviously, they do not. You know that saying Joe absolute power. Corrupts. Absolutely. And they're all corrupt. All they care about is power in New York City, Joe, you need to show papers to go eat in a restaurant. But you don't need to show any identification to go vote. Something is so deadly wrong. Yeah, right. You're Kathy. Thank you so much. Thank you. For your kind words. We'll keep the fight. You're absolutely right. And why do we have to get vaccinated, but the people that come across the border with the Wuhan virus that are allowed in cities across America that are illegal. That are illegal and they're being strategically placed in voting blocs for votes for the Democratic Party. Those people and God bless them, and I feel for them. They don't have to be inoculated.

"Creating human beings. What's mine thought of this? First brought by force and pushed to death, delivering off all the trade, as you refer to it euphemistically, a state-sponsored and the other side what does it say about the Civil the world. So if you could talk more about what this does say and going back to the beginning, talking about genocide took the term coined by Raphael lemkin and colonization as well as civilization. And how you see if they find hope today in the discussions, if this is all acknowledged though, you're saying just acknowledging this is not enough. Yes, of course. But acknowledging it's a big step and that's what I wanted to say before. Is that, you know, for even for me as a filmmaker telling that story, it it took a lot of seconds to, in order to, to tell a story song. For the first time you tell the story of the genocide of Native American, and then you tell the story of slavery, and then you tell also the one of the major extermination story which is the Holocaust, you know? And and for the first time I find at least on on film, you see, you can see the connections between them. And for me it's it's a huge step, you know, it's it's taking all those atrocity in a different context and and for me it's it can only suck. Beginning of a wider conversation. You know, instead of, you know, each part keeping their own melara, they keeping their own death, their own pain, and sometimes being used against each other, you know? And that's a device that have been used for many, many years. And, and for me, the faith is also a step to break that separate narrative. There is not many different stories. There is one historical knowledge, and we need to access it. And, and to your question, and that's the right motive in the series, you know, we already know enough, you know, off the problem is, what do we do with that knowledge? You know, and, and because everything I say in the film, everything that has been linguists tells the story about or a big dog. All school or artists. Those are fact, those are highly competent Scholars, who spend their life documenting the aura. And and, and my use of the work with them, was exactly that to force the conversation to a more Sovereign Nation of discussion. And, and to, to push aside, the, the blurring of History, put her side. The ignorance that still, you know, off rain, in in the discussion. And, you know, we, I'm not going to name them again. The two politicians I made, but I think population of more and more interested in learning where they come from, you know, there is a reason why everybody now wants to have their DNA DNA analyzed because there is some sort of feeling of wage, Makes them, you know, and and it's it's our job as filmmakers and you as journalists as well to to to lay that in in plain sight and Thursday. We can say, okay, what, what do we do with this? You know, that's exactly. We just have a minute. What do we do with this? Your film begins and ends with the same line that spend linguists as exact again, it's not knowledge that we lack. What is missing is the courage to understand what we know and draw the conclusions. How does your film and the work of these other authors? Enable that courage, You know, I was a primary educated by Jesuits and and one thing is, maybe from that that I believed in the knowledge and knowledge, I believe in the notion of learning the truth and and the film for me, is the first step. And and my my wish is that every school, every universe is able to watch the film and have discussion around it because that's that's you cannot go further. If you don't know your own history whether what else beside you are on. But you need to know and it's not about accusing. You of anything. It's about facing your reality because you you can't understand what's going on. You can't understand why policemen or still killing black kids, and black men and black women in this country.

"Because little too complicated to get into this sparked because this way we get to to dip the statement of that that they would they would have looked like fools secondly think of this as the apollo missions were still going on nine hundred seventy two politicians from sixty nine seventy two as the still happening russia. Sorry united the soviet and united states are already talking about future joint mission in space which is what in three years will become the apollo so use encounter franken seventy five or readying talks with that an advanced astronauts has been back and forth checking each other's a connection system so that the tool equals could actually connecting space. They're very happy with that. Had the russians called bluff from the americans. Anything that happened after that with not have taken place but have been totally a broken system. Communications between the two russians were very interested in acquiring american technology because the american technology dead surpass the soviet one by the end of the decade. They were very interested in acquiring death. So khaki think that you will look like a stupid by calling a bluff and you will lose all the possibility of what's already going on behind behind the scenes. I don't see any reason. Why would anybody call it. Like that and third soviets also had a lot of skeletons in the closets. So i don't think is healthy. Who started calling each other's allied ally because you end up you know and can i draw a connection between the moon. I'm one of your topics and the nine eleven topic with the russian idea which i've concluded that one of the reasons that they don't out everything is i think they call it straight power concepts like it's more important for russia. The russian elite to use their levers of power than to actually just nationalistically dominate the. Us they're not going to call out isis because they use isis. they use it darkies. Help elgar archies or they. Just they use those same mechanisms. So they don't want to expose they don't wanna reveal the method of how superpowers suppress their own national interests in favor of some relief. We'll use thinking versus soviet union versus to face that the story were sold in the sixties race. Between this and that in reality if you go above the official level there's a cross connection between the lead tanya leads couldn't care less about calling each other's bluffs that's okay you want this one the next one. It's not a problem for them. That's how i always thought the idea that the moon landing was a hoax in order to win the cold war was rather noble. Like i actually thought it was a noble light. Noble even for the us government to do like. I think there must have been a deep reason to perpetuate that hoax then simply to dominate russia..

"Most Never one time of my life. It was a touching moment because I've never thought to say whatever happens, I won't have to work. I put gas in my car won't have to worry about paying my mortgage. You know, I have got to help me. And then what happened? They moved the goal post. Is no longer a reflection of how fair America could be to vote for somebody competent to become president. No, we have to now deal with income inequality. We have to deal with. Mail distribution of resource We have toe Deal with leveling the playing field. We need to Installed quotas for females to be members of board of directors. Believe it or not, they've done that in California, Effective January. 1 January. 1 if you are a publicly held corporation, based in California, You have to have a certain percentage of your board of directors be female. Kind of crafted they've been doing in Europe for years. We're doing it now in California. This is what these guys do and think. Again. The philosophy is real simple. Philosophy is I take care of you. Take care of your family. I take care of your community and you get out of my way. The other philosophy. The philosophy that we embrace you take care of you. You take care of your community. You take care of your family. I will get out of your way. I'll ensure equal protection equal rights, but I will not interfere. Fundamentally two different philosophies. I think I said this yesterday. We watch the other day, the 1960 debate between Kennedy and Nixon. First time presidential debates were televised or three of them. And the differences between the two politicians were minute. There were no grave differences on taxes. No grave differences on spending. No difference at all about foreign policy, if anything can, and he felt that Nixon was too soft. Now the debates are night and day. Reparations. Climate change. Stopping Orly gas drilling. $15 minimum wage. Free. Community College. Debt forgiveness. And they want to bring back race based preferences in California, having gotten rid of it. Years ago. And one of the reason to get rid of it is because it turned out that When you artificially put a student on campus that he or she cannot Survive on because of their lack of preparation, Lack of background because of the quality of their school K through 12, You're gonna get your butt kicked. Drop out and I saw it. And what happens is throughout the semester. They get increasingly, eh? At the professors at the school at the world because they can't figure out why the hell am I here, and I can't do the work in the and tradition to be there in the first place. You have been perfectly fine at a less competitive university. Where the Pacers and fast isn't it fast or where they don't expect you to know as much as when you walk in. Eventually you can catch up with you. You're gonna get your butt kicked right here. It's like jumping into the rain with Muhammed Ali, having had a few amateur fights gonna get killed. You have no idea.
