Trump was reported
38:36
looking at uh putting Elon Musk in charge of what they're calling auditing federal agencies to look for things to
38:44
cut and Elon Musk said about that report quote I can't wait uh there's a lot of
38:50
waste and needless regulations in government that needs to go it it looks like this is real
38:58
uh apparently both Trump and Elon Musk are completely on board if Trump gets elected that musk will get the look at
39:06
where you can just cut stuff this is probably the best thing that's happening anywhere about
39:12
anything because in in my view let me tell you something from the
39:18
business world so in the 90s or so there was this idea that business should be
39:23
re-engineered not tweaked now what that meant was instead of you know continuously improving things the way
39:30
they are sometimes the world has changed so much or your company has drifted so
39:35
much you know without your intention that you really have to almost treat it like you're starting over so the idea of
39:42
re-engineering was not just tweaking what you have but saying okay what if we didn't have anything and we had a chance
39:48
to build the thing what would it look like so that's reengineering that's rethinking it from the ground up if you
39:54
needed to do that to our government and I would argue that's exactly what we do
39:59
need what skill needs to be brought to it do you need a
40:06
lawyer nope do you need a historian
40:13
nope do you need a a finance person because it's going to be about money
40:20
nope there is one skill that you need and it's engineering because it's literally
40:26
re-engineering because the government can be thought of as a machine it's got
40:31
moving Parts this part has too many moving Parts maybe we could do this with three moving Parts instead of 100 this
40:39
one is an unnecessary feature it's causing us trouble why don't we just remove the feature it's an engineering
40:47
task just just consider this thought for a moment if you're not feeling enough
40:53
optimism lately just just hold this in your mind
40:58
the biggest risk to America is that we don't re-engineer and that we just keep
41:05
tweaking things and that we become bloated and Divi divided and overspend and just kill ourselves with with just
41:12
drifting in One Direction it is our biggest risk it and I could argue it's what
41:19
destroyed almost every civilization in the past unless it was a natural
41:24
disaster that they needed to stop doing what they were doing and do a whole do thing or else they're going to they're
41:29
all going to die we're in that situation we're in the existential risk our
41:35
current system will kill us all really like actually really if we just keep
41:41
doing what we're doing we will die we will all be dead and the only way to fix it is to somewhat radically change how
41:49
we operate as a country in other words replace the machine but you need to keep
41:54
the Constitution you just want to keep the Machinery right so you want to keep the rules of the road so you don't want
42:01
to change the fact that you know Vehicles need to go under the speed limit and stay on the road and stuff
42:07
that's like the Constitution but the car itself needs to be completely redesigned
42:13
now if I said to you pick the one person on the entire planet that you would want to
42:21
re-engineer anything whether it's a government or a car or a spaceship it's it's musk it's musk all
42:29
day long all day long you try to give me the second best
42:35
person for that good luck who's the second best person for that job you can't even come
42:42
up with one you're my you you know you can think of lots of smart people but you can't
42:49
think of anybody smart enough who would be willing to take the level of
42:55
pain that would be required to get it done right the thing that Elon brings to
43:00
every situation is you think that a level of pain will stop me well watch this pain doesn't stop him
43:10
threats don't stop him he he's got the threat of jail right now doesn't stop
43:15
him it's the only person who could do this and we're lucky enough that that
43:20
person not only is willing to do it but enthusiastic about it do you know how lucky that that
43:28
is I mean just think about how lucky that is yeah and he would have a JD Vance and a vake um he would have you
43:36
know brilliant people you know the on his side to help this is really really really lucky
43:45
Elon Musk could have easily been Australian right he could have easily
43:52
been you know if we're all reincarnated Chinese
43:57
but we got him the number one person to do the number one most important
44:03
thing I feel pretty good about it but only if Trump gets elected
_____
I saw somebody else saying
49:08
that musk was ruining his brand Tesla and I have to I have to admit I am
49:17
concerned that Elon musk's political stuff will sour some number of people
49:22
from buying tesl I don't know if we've seen it yet but I don't know how it doesn't happen
49:30
because people are pretty prickly about their politics and their cars and so I should tell you that I I do own
49:39
stock in Tesla so I'm not I'm not being unbiased I'm totally biased in favor of
49:47
Tesla uh but my investment in Tesla has less to do with cars and more to do with the
49:52
robots one possibility is that the reason we don't understand why Elon Musk could take such
49:59
a risk with the stock price of Tesla is that he told us exactly what's going on
50:06
that robots are going to be you know maybe 20 times bigger than cars and Tesla is going to be a robot company and
50:13
they're going to be rolling them out in a year or so it might not matter to him what happens with
50:18
cars it might be the smallest part of his business in less than a year so
50:23
maybe he's just ahead of us and he knows he can say what he wants to say and
50:29
promote free speech and uh if something happens to the car stock he'll just make
50:35
it up with robots and people want robots because it'll be the best robot and there you go so who knows he's
50:43
taking a risk um so com Harris has come out directly
50:53
in opposition of freedom of speech which doesn't sound true does it
50:58
when I say that you're going to say oh that's a you know you're you're exaggerating what she
51:05
said right but can we agree that the definition of free speech is that you
51:11
can say things other people don't want you to say that's the definition the definition
51:17
is not that you can say things everybody likes to hear that has nothing to do with free speech free speech is
51:24
specifically Limited to things that other people really really don't want you to say because they think it's
51:30
dangerous or whatever and haris says that uh social media has no oversight or
51:36
regulation and talks about musk and says uh there has to be a responsibility to
51:42
understand their power they're directly speaking to Millions without oversight or regulation and then she said of musk
51:49
quote he has lost his privilege it should be taken down what she thinks the xplatform
51:57
should be taken what should be taken down you mean just taken down a notch or
52:02
just taken offline I mean either way it's terrible but if you say that somebody's
52:09
lost their privilege because they don't understand that they should be censoring the way you want them to censor because
52:14
you don't like the things they're saying I would say that is directly opposed to free speech directly and it doesn't feel
52:22
like an interpretation to me to me it feels like a direct statement I do not like freedom of speech it's too
52:29
dangerous when you boost it by social media and by the way it's not a crazy
52:35
argument it's one I disagree with here's why it's not crazy when the Constitution
52:41
was written social media didn't exist so if your crazy neighbor had some crazy
52:47
ideas he could talk about it all day long it wasn't going anywhere so he he had real free speech he could say
52:54
whatever he wanted using the best technology of the day he could write a letter one letter so free speech was
53:03
really easy then because it didn't move the needle you know except in the
53:09
longest you know timeline it did but at the moment social media is so powerful
53:15
it can change the needle overnight it can turn a uh the least the least
53:20
popular candidate into the most popular candidate and we watched it who you know if you had the news the news to social
53:27
media now does she say the same thing about the
53:32
news because whatever you say about social media it's not regulated it can say whatever it wants it's dangerous
53:39
wouldn't they say the same thing about Fox News and breitbard and just the news
53:45
and Gateway pundit doesn't it come next they have
53:51
great responsibility if they have misinformation it's dangerous you know none of this existed
53:58
during the uh time of the Revolutionary War
54:03
so this is the most dangerous possible thing you could possi think uh Michael
54:09
shellenberger goes further and he says in a post today people think Brazil style censorship couldn't happen here
54:16
but it could indeed K Harris Tim ws and Barack Obama have all called for
54:21
heavy-handed government censorship like that of Brazil and Europe complete with Banning disfavored individuals across
54:32
platforms and he's right I mean he he backs it up with examples Etc
54:37
so we were actually at a point where freedom of speech in my opinion could be the only
54:44
topic of the election it seems to me that Trump is an
54:50
unlosable situation because if he starts hammering on this freedom of speech stuff
54:57
and he does a better job which he's not done so far on handling that bodily autonomy thing he has a stronger
55:03
argument on bodily autonomy by a mile he just has never put it together the
55:09
minute he puts together that bodily autonomy argument which is hey I took
55:14
abortion away from the federal government and away from me I moved it closer to you and there are more women
55:19
in every state you women can vote in any bodily autonomy law you want I don't oppose that a bit and then say but I
55:28
don't want criminals to take your bodily aut autonomy I don't want undocumented people to take your your jobs everything
55:36
that happens is your bodily autonomy can you walk outside with safety can your children go to school
55:43
safely it's all bodily autonomy everything the government does from the legal system the Department of Justice
55:50
but the Democrats are T trying to take Trump's bodily autonomy away and put him in jail the there is one side that is
55:57
massively trying to control your bodily autonomy they're going to make sure you don't have a gun Etc the only argument
56:05
they have the only argument is on Reproductive Rights and Trump has not done a good
56:13
job in simply explaining that they do have everything they want and he's not the one opposing any of
56:19
it they have everything they want in terms of they have the political power to vote in any state law that they want
56:26
if the women are largely in the same team they just have to be on the same side so convince the women what you want
56:33
not Trump he's out at the game and and by the way that sentence is
56:39
super powerful imagine Trump saying look it's move to the States you need to work
56:45
on getting women to agree with you because if they do you can have anything you want that's what our system is I'm
56:50
out of the game I'm out of the game is a kill shot
56:56
I'm out of that game I took myself out anyway um yeah freedom of speech
57:04
could be the only topic of the election and it would be a trump Victory I think because he can he can make the bodily
57:09
autonomy and freedom of speech argument if he chooses to
