meanwhile while Obama was lying and everybody else is being crazy um Trump was uh once again saying that with our support he'll take us to the Golden Age so apparently he has settled on this Golden Age messaging he said with your support we'll bring back our nation's strength dominance prosperity and pride he said this will be America's new golden age 100 years from now the presidential election will be looked upon as America's greatest victory now how much hyperbole is in that on first reading you would say to yourself I think if this were a normal year you'd say okay you know sounds great but probably you know next year will be like every other year and the year after that will be like every other year unless there's a pandemic you know it's not like we're going to go to the Golden Age suddenly except that we might so here's a word that uh Elon Musk used yesterday just one word that gave me so much optimism and made everything make sense he said that the government needs to be and here's the one word re-engineered oh my god did I want to hear that what I didn't want to hear is I'm going to take down the expenses $25 % which maybe he could do because one of the things I've heard must say a number of times about his businesses is the biggest mistake an engineer will make is to optimize something they shouldn't have been there in the first place and he's made that point A lot of times so when he looks at the government do you think he sees a government that's working fine but maybe it could be a little use a little less money I don't think so I think he sees the government full of things that don't need to exist and that if we look at it as an optimization problem we're dead from the start because you can't get there from here but if you look at it from a starting from scratch how would you build a government if we'd never had one and you could build the best one but you can just forget about the past now we got to keep the Constitution and I think that that's safe there's nothing that Trump's there's nothing that musk is going to do that's going to violate the constitution so that's safe but there's a whole bunch of stuff you can do within within the realm of the government that would be massively helpful now here's what else I think I spend way too much time watching Graham Norton shows about past civilizations that used to be and then got destroyed and we keep finding these these big cities that got buried and there used to be a whole population here but they all died out and then you look as even as recently as the Roman Empire and you say the Roman Empire they had control of all kinds of parts of the world how in the world did they lose out oh well they did then you look at the Mongols you know the Mongols they had control of everything how how is it the Mongols aren't still in charge well it didn't last and almost every civilization that you see from the past there's a point where they peaked and they did well and then everything went to hell and I fell apart now how could you possibly break that cycle well the first thing you need is an enduring uh physical advantage and we have it America has that physical advantage that we have the oceans between us and our adversaries it makes us really hard to control if anybody wanted to do it militarily it' be a tough egg so we still have that but we're completely falling apart in terms of culture and governance and efficiency uh we're we're we're dying in regulations we're we're just not promoting the best people we got open borders we've got massive deficit Etc but here's what we also have we have the American Spirit which as much as you want to say everything's going wrong and it is everything's going wrong let me tell you what the American Spirit is that's different from all the other cultures that ever lived before and died the American culture says if you're not working I will burn you to the ground tomorrow and start over if you're not giving me what I want I'm going to put you right in the garbage can if you've been operating for 200 years but it's not working today bye-bye I will get rid of this old product so I can sell the new product I will stop being a computer company I'll become a phone company I'll become a music company I'll become a rocket company Americans destroy before we build and the destroying is maybe even a bigger part of our character character than the building we're hella good Builders you know when we put our minds to it but we're the best destroyers and if you can't destroy what you got you'll never go anywhere you're going to die I worry that Europe is pretty good at building but pretty bad at destroying kind of kind of Trapped in their past a little bit not us not us we'll change anything that needs to be changed we'd like to keep our constitution but we're even talking about changing that there's nothing we won't change and if you put in an Elon Musk you don't have a normal situation you give me a VI ramaswami whole new deal we're talking about founder level strength you give me an RFK Jr what stops him nothing uh tulsy incredibly strong player whatever she does is going to be important and then you give me Trump the George Washington of all George Washington's I know I know the Democrats don't see it that way but the thing is Trump will destroy something to build because that's what he does for a living he he demolishes what was there unburdened by what has been to build the new thing what does uh what does musk do? Musk starts with first principles it's it's his biggest thematic personality extreme that he will not care what's been done before he only cares what's the right way to do it so when you unleash a trump Vance vake RFK Jr uh and Elon Musk on this aling country which is in fact failing I I think you all feel it we are a failing country and if nothing changed we would fail but good luck China doing what we can do good luck Germany good luck France good luck Canada good luck Great Britain you used to be great you can't do what we can do we can burn it all down and we can build something great on those ashes faster than anybody can so we are entering a period where the golden age when you throw a in AI into the mix you throw nuclear power that's coming online like crazy you throw robots into the mix and if we're lucky drones will end the risk of nuclear war CU a drone War would be better but we won't do the Drone War either cuz because it would still be mutually assured destruction we we might actually be moving our mutually assured destruction from nuclear which would be the worst kind to still having the the the reason to not fight which is the drones would make it unlivable but you could recover from drone attacks you know better than nuclear so it could be that we're going to have a a much better food supply it could be that we'll be back on track in terms of paying off our debts it could be that we will close our Borders or at least have a vetting system where we get the best workers and the best outcome it could be that we'll wrap up the Ukraine war pretty quickly and uh and get along with Russia well enough
that we wonder why we ever didn't be friends
