Speaker 1 (00:00):
Elon Musk story comes out, and Adam, I'm coming to
you first on this one. Elon Muck is officially the
most unpopular public figure in America. Okay, if you want
to go to a rap on, do you have a
video on that? Or no, I do think you have
a video on that. Let me read the story and
then we'll go to the video. So Elon Musk richest
man in a world. A Gallup poll conductor between July
seventh and July twenty first found that Tesla is CEO
(00:21):
Elon Musk is the most unpopular public figure in America,
with sixty one percent of respondents holding an unfavorable opinion,
six percent have no opinion, and only thirty three percent
of reporting a positive view, marking a decline from his
net favorability rating of minus four percent in January minus
twenty twenty eight percent. Now, Dan, that's a plus minus
of twenty four Musk's unpopularity surpasses even Israeli's Prime Minister Betton. Wow,
(00:43):
he's ahead of net Yao. Where do you see that?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Right down here at the bottom.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Marco Rubio is ahead of Trump? How what the heck is?
Dennis pete Hex said Newsome, JD Events, Joe Biden, RFKAOC Macron,
Bernie Zelensky, Pope Leo. Very interesting when you see a
like this, and then to on Prome promience on the
other Democrats given him a minus eighty six net favorability
to return to alignment with Presidential of his role as
(01:07):
a special government employee heading doughs. So, Adam, why do
you think his net favorability is worse than bb than Rubio,
than Trump.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Well, be careful when you get into politics. Elon Musk
a few short years ago, he went from being iron
Man to basically being Internet troll, to political politically disobedient,
to basically out of the White House.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Elon Musk was the darling of the left.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Think about what he's built, EV's green technology Silicon Valley.
He moved out of California into Dallas, got into the
political limelight.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Okay, Austin, I apologize.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Moved into political limelight.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Combined with Trump dark maga And these are the ramifications
of basically getting involved in politics. You said, you know,
Pat you always talk about you know, no matter what
you do, no matter business, what you're in, you're in politicy. Yes,
behind the scenes you're in politics. When you step into
the limelight and you're involved in politics and you make
an endorsement like this, you know who the most vicious
(02:11):
vicious people are the hardcore left. They're the most unforgiving
cancel culture. If you do them wrong, they will never
forgive you. Yeah, there's about a line exactly the hardcore right.
They might say they disagree with you, they want nothing
to do with you, but they're not gonna just be
trolling you all day. Elon Musk, this is no Have
(02:31):
you heard of anything from Elon in the last month.
He's only rockets and incredibly quiet politically, and he's been
focused on business. My opinion, I think stakeholders, shareholders, board
of directors, they're all saying, listen, guy, you're the richest
man in the world. Do you want to say the
richest man in the world. You want your companies to
be the richest companies in the world. Get out of politics.
(02:52):
So Elon is now facing the music two to one.
Two to one is on favorability ratings, meaning two people
hate him for every one person likes him.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
That's not a good look for you.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
But I mean, but at the end of the day, though,
you have to admit though, that this guy played a huge,
huge role in getting this guy, Donald Trump into the
White House. Okaion dollars, Dude, that's not by the way,
that is not chump change at him.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
That's ridiculous, bro, Listen that yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
But my point is like I can understand why, why
how do you get to that level? Okay, everybody was
loving him, except obviously the left, because they they got
in Hitler, you know what I mean, Trump was Hitler
and then I mean they just went after him. Any
movement that he did. They're like, oh, that's.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
A Nazi salu.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
That's that.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
So you can see it's it's it's manufactured.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
But the same token when you don't when you give
two hundred and fifty million dollars and you help somebody
get in, then that that person gets in at him
and doesn't do what you say, and then you get.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Into a fight, allegedly in the White House.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
You get punched in the face and you have a
black eye, and the fallout is that guy who's the
most popular president I think in the history of the
world of the America, that guy turns on you. Of course,
it's gonna look bad for you. But they made they
made Tesla's how for how many months where Tesla's getting
firebomb and cyber trucks.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Cyber trucks might still happening, by the way, it's still.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Happening because they made everybody hate this guy and love
him or hating him. Bro, this guy saved us from
a Kamala Joe Biden, whatever the hell you want to
talk about it, Say what you want.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
They want to hate him, do not forget.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
This guy put his money where his mouth is and
saved us for that moment in history.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
That guy saved.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Also allowed freedom of speech on Twitter.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
So I can't I don't understand how could he be
hated more than some of these others names.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
At pat Well.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
You know, in politics, no good deed will go unpunished.
And he certainly was huge in the election helping the
Dems already hated him. Of course, the Dems already hated him.
They were in doge and everything about it. They were
already all over Tesla. But then what happens. So now
let's go to the poll. What's in the poll? Words
talk number, scream, screw the headlines, that's dive into the numbers.
(04:57):
You are already going to have a big negative pulling difference,
you know on the people that disapproved versus approve or
be negative with the Dems. And then when you go
up against Trump, what happened with one third to one
half of the Republican voters. They went negative exactly, And
so guess what two negative and then one negative is
(05:20):
three negative and congratulations, you have a minus twenty eight.
The numbers are very simple. He went up against the
hero of most of the Republican parties who wanted him
in the White House, who wanted to change. This is
what I voted for, including this man. That's what I
was saying in April. I didn't give a very good
(05:40):
grade base on execution, but I said, this is what
I voted for, close borders, what I voted for, driving
international trade, and being not America only but America first.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
That's what I voted for.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Was it MESSI yes, And guess what Elon went up
against some of that. So now the numbers show that
he's highly negative.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
So to me, I think there's a completely different side
of it as well. When you're going through this. By
the way, just so you know, if you're on this list,
at least you're on this list period. Okay, so folks,
your name is not on this list for a reason.
Most people's names are not reason. This list also says influence.
(06:23):
If you're on this list, loved or hated, favorable or
unfavorable the one score that they're not putting. It's also
saying that these are some of the most influential people
in the world. That's also what this says. This is
influence that comes with it. You're gonna fumble, you're gonna
screw up, You're gonna go through your mistakes at times.
(06:44):
You know, you can also go through a certain thing.
Remember lost Elon, found got a cause, he committed lifestyle,
graduated lifestyle. Then it's to my no, it's me. I'm
just saying we all you know. So then maybe you
(07:05):
think you're bigger than Trump and you're not, and the
market said, look, you're very important, very you know, maybe
he doesn't want without you. I would say that he
played a very important role. It definitely doesn't happen if
he doesn't buy X, because if he doesn't buy X
and doesn't bring back Alex Jones, the Tates, the bunch
(07:27):
of other people who are a loud who are finally
back on EGS. They got their voice back, and it's
still being ran by the old guy and not Dorsey,
the other Indian guy. Remember his name, but you know
what I'm talking about. And there's still Twitter files going on,
and then Facebook's forced to open up, Trump, Instagram opens up,
Trump YouTube no longer flags. A lot of the stuff
that we're saying that doesn't happen with Audilan very vary.
(07:50):
In the day Elan was buying Twitter, I called every
single bank to try to give ten million dollars to
go on because I'm in on this guy being a
great operator. And I don't even remember you guys. I
talked about it on the podcast October of twenty twenty two.
I'm calling everybody if you know, I want to give
you a million. And the only person that was doing
it was Kathy.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
What was the girl's name, Kathy Would from ARC.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Kathy Wood from ARC. That the way you were buying
it was very weird and I didn't want to get
involved in that. So I'm a supporter and a believer
in what he's doing as an operator. But at the
same time, one man took bullets and almost died, and
one man at the age of seventy nine years old,
campaigned NonStop after going through everything that he went through
(08:30):
since twenty sixteen, when Elan didn't support him, when Elan
did say a lot of different things, and he fought
and they finally flipped. So it's very important to realize
today it says season, we're backstage yesterday with Suaso Ellis
and okafor and Heart And I'm like, so, what do
(08:51):
you think about the event? He says, I believe this
is the We're back. I said, we're back to what
he says, This reminds me of twenty nineteen when the
Lake Kobe was there and you know, Bush and all
this other stuff. I said, who was number one in
twenty nineteen? They started giving me the names. I said,
who are the top five? Today? Not them? I said,
what happened? It's not their show today, it's your show today. Right.
They were hosting the event last time in front of everybody.
(09:12):
Today it's Trump's show, not yours. It doesn't mean it's
going to be Trumps showing in twenty twenty eight, but
today's Trump show. It doesn't mean that Trump's going to
be more influential in twenty twenty nine than Elon Elon
could be more influential than Elan and then Trump in
twenty twenty nine. But today it's not your term and
(09:36):
turn it's not Rubio understood that. JD is understanding that.
The scientists absolutely didn't understand that because he crushed it
out the Best State thinking he's bigger than Trump and
he was destroyed, destroyed where you know, people are like, dude,
(09:57):
I don't like the way you're handling yourself. Floridians loved
the guy, but at the national level, no. So sometimes
when you're in your own community and people tell you
how amazing you are, you start thinking you're Biggernough you're not.
Trump is the alpha amongst alphas today. He won't be forever,
but it's his season today and I'm not surprised that
his unfavorability is here, although I don't think it's gonna
(10:19):
stay stay there forever because when he made the tweet
about he's on the Epstein leg list, Trump wait till
this gets dropped? Trump was asked about Elan and Rob,
you have the clip of Trump's being asked about Elan,
this is it and he said, so, what do you
think about Ela Musk and what happened here. Look at
the graceful answer that Trump gives. Go forward, yeah, please.
Says that Elon Musk is the most unpopular public figure.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
In the country right now, I'm wondering, do you miss
having him around the White House?
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Or is that full actor?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I don't know the pole's accurate.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
I think he's a good person. I think he had
a bad moment, really bad moment, but he's a good person.
I think I believe that.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
That is such a non what we're used to Trump answer.
Think about how much more improved and how measure to
use the word grace Trump is. The old Trump would
have been like loser, get him out of here, Get
out of here, little rocket boy. You gotta give Trump
a little respect well the way he is handling it
in a situation, this situation, Musk said that he was
(11:20):
on the Epstein list, gave a peace.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Sign, walked out the door. And Trump has the.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Great in the history of mankind. Yes, there has never
been a more battle tested politically with limelight than him.
I'm not talking about war. You could say patent, you
could say maddess, you could say.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
A lot of this second limelight.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
When it comes down to a limelight. In the history
of mankind, let me say this to you. When it
comes to the history of mankind under limelight, not a
single soul has been more battle tested than Trump. Nobody,
not a soul. Give me a name. I want you
to actually think about top five. You cannot give me
(11:59):
a name. Give me who's the top five? Bush? No Obama?
No Obama never had a career before. Nobody knew who
he was until at speech in O four at the DNC.
Nobody has experienced more of people targeting Kim Yes than
Donald Trump. He is so battle tested. So to him,
a question like this is like a regular Tuesday. What
do you okay? Yeah, well, I think it was a
(12:21):
bad day that he had. I think he's a good guy.
I think he's a good guy. Next seven second answer.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
But even though he has been battle tested, that's undisputable. Yeah,
the grace that he's showing. Now this is the Trump
two point. Oh, is such a better presidency than Trump
one point?
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Because he doesn't have to get re elected. Well, that's
even done. But that is the most.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Important thing though, because think about it, if you had
to be re elected, that's when you would say, you
know what, let me have a little grace at the
fact that he doesn't.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Have to be that ready. Why respect, Let's go through
the whole thing from the day the president chose to run,
lost in found committed, he's running, lifestyle, he wins, he's everywhere,
then entitled bored, it's me rebellion. It's unfair, it's unfair,
(13:10):
it's unfair. Then he gets to break. What's the best
job you ever had. I've never had a better job
of being a president. Then he comes back. It's a
legacy in history. He is all about legacy and history,
and a part of being the legacy in history is
to learn how to manage team of rivals. And he's
doing it. And you got on the power versus first chart.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
I was trying to think when you started talking about him,
where would you put Trump right now in the in
the tary and rob if you came with the power
versus a great question like this, Well, I think, well,
think about we talked about it, and I know we
talked about us about two three weeks ago. Pat, I
want you, I want to know Trump right now with
the battle test, with everything that he's been going through
from they hate from destroying him with his money from
the lawfare, from the bullet to his head to where
(13:50):
he's at right now, even talking kindly about a guy
that basically called him a pedophile.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Where are you? On any given day, he can go
up to willing. I think that's it. I would maybe
go acceptance reason on some things. But I'm just I
think he's between willing game.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
I gotta tell you, I think he's somewhere sometimes between
the love and joy.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I don't think he's got peace. I think he's No.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I don't want gun in. I don't think he's I think.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
He said I love the word love. I love tariffs.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
He loves tariffs. You know. No, I don't think he's
there yet. I don't think he's there.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Really, I don't think he's not all.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
I don't think he's there yet, because in his mind,
when you're still in like right now. We had a
call yesterday. It was an intense call yesterday. First thing
in the morning, was it yesterday the day before? I
probably morning? Yesterday morning, tough morning because we had to
overcome a A A one of the twenty crisis. Literally
was one of twenty. I'm telling you, it was one
of the twenty crisis. You experienced in business, and I'm
(14:48):
probably gonna share it with you guys on on the
webinar that I do. And by the way, if you're
not registered for it, I want to give you this
white paper. If you're running a business, you have to
know these twenty threats because it's gonna affect your business
and it costs us a lot of money every time.
We all lot of money every time we go through it. Well,
we have this call and we're going through it, right.
And I said something to my guys. I said, can
I ask you a question? I said, so, we've known
(15:09):
about this since Friday. You haven't called me. Yes, why
is that? Are you not calling me because you don't
want to bother me Because I'm running it with my
insurance company. I said, there's one person in the company
and it's only one person that you get to call
him if there's a problem, a Tier one problem, on
his birthday, on his anniversary, on vacation, on a company trip.
He's in Italy, he's in Monaco, he's in Australia. There's
(15:32):
only one person. Because my guys were like, I was
very surprised you never called me when I was on
PTO and I was on vacation. I said, yes, I
don't want to call you because I want you to
enjoy your PTO. If a Tier one crisis happened, I
will call you, But I'm not the guy that calls you.
If not Tier one crisis, I'm a leader. We'll handle
it right. But for you, you don't get to treat
me that way. I'm the flip and founder. You got
(15:52):
to get those calls you call me. Yeah, don't feel
sorry for me. Don't feel I chose this job because
I freaking love it. He's still in the grind. There's
still ninety percent of stuff that's not done yet. He
still has to be an assholo at times. He still
has to push the envelope at times. He still has
to push people on at times. He still has to
do that. That's why he's not there yet. Once he
gets to the point that he knows some of these
(16:14):
tariffs to Panama Canals, some of these things are done,
the pieces coming, I think you are going to see
him going there. I don't think he's fully there yet.
That's why he still can't show too much love and joy.
You can't. You still have to show unpredictability every year folks,
there's threats when you're in business, when you're building your business,
whatever you're doing. This year, we are releasing our annual

to nine hundred and sixty four full time employees. This
is not ICs, this is not independent contractors. I'm talking

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Marco Rubio is ahead of Trump? How what the heck is?
Dennis pete Hex said Newsome, JD Events, Joe Biden, RFKAOC Macron,

But the same token when you don't when you give
two hundred and fifty million dollars and you help somebody
get in, then that that person gets in at him
and doesn't do what you say, and then you get.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Into a fight, allegedly in the White House.

(04:57):
You are already going to have a big negative pulling difference,
you know on the people that disapproved versus approve or
be negative with the Dems. And then when you go
up against Trump, what happened with one third to one
half of the Republican voters. They went negative exactly, And
so guess what two negative and then one negative is
(05:20):
three negative and congratulations, you have a minus twenty eight.
The numbers are very simple. He went up against the
hero of most of the Republican parties who wanted him
in the White House, who wanted to change. This is
what I voted for, including this man. That's what I
was saying in April. I didn't give a very good
(05:40):
grade base on execution, but I said, this is what
I voted for, close borders, what I voted for, driving
international trade, and being not America only but America first.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
That's what I voted for.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Was it MESSI yes, And guess what Elon went up
against some of that. So now the numbers show that
he's highly negative.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
So to me, I think there's a completely different side
of it as well. When you're going through this. By
the way, just so you know, if you're on this list,
at least you're on this list period. Okay, so folks,
your name is not on this list for a reason.
Most people's names are not reason. This list also says influence.
(06:23):
If you're on this list, loved or hated, favorable or
unfavorable the one score that they're not putting. It's also
saying that these are some of the most influential people
in the world. That's also what this says. This is
influence that comes with it. You're gonna fumble, you're gonna
screw up, You're gonna go through your mistakes at times.
(06:44):
You know, you can also go through a certain thing.
Remember lost Elon, found got a cause, he committed lifestyle,
graduated lifestyle. Then it's to my no, it's me. I'm
just saying we all you know. So then maybe you
(07:05):
think you're bigger than Trump and you're not, and the
market said, look, you're very important, very you know, maybe
he doesn't want without you. I would say that he
played a very important role. It definitely doesn't happen if
he doesn't buy X, because if he doesn't buy X
and doesn't bring back Alex Jones, the Tates, the bunch
(07:27):
of other people who are a loud who are finally
back on EGS. They got their voice back, and it's
still being ran by the old guy and not Dorsey,
the other Indian guy. Remember his name, but you know
what I'm talking about. And there's still Twitter files going on,
and then Facebook's forced to open up, Trump, Instagram opens up,
Trump YouTube no longer flags. A lot of the stuff
that we're saying that doesn't happen with Audilan very vary.
(07:50):
In the day Elan was buying Twitter, I called every
single bank to try to give ten million dollars to
go on because I'm in on this guy being a
great operator. And I don't even remember you guys. I
talked about it on the podcast October of twenty twenty two.
I'm calling everybody if you know, I want to give
you a million. And the only person that was doing
it was Kathy.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
What was the girl's name, Kathy Would from ARC.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Kathy Wood from ARC. That the way you were buying
it was very weird and I didn't want to get
involved in that. So I'm a supporter and a believer
in what he's doing as an operator. But at the
same time, one man took bullets and almost died, and
one man at the age of seventy nine years old,
campaigned NonStop after going through everything that he went through
(08:30):
since twenty sixteen, when Elan didn't support him, when Elan
did say a lot of different things, and he fought
and they finally flipped. So it's very important to realize
today it says season, we're backstage yesterday with Suaso Ellis
and okafor and Heart And I'm like, so, what do
(08:51):
you think about the event? He says, I believe this
is the We're back. I said, we're back to what
he says, This reminds me of twenty nineteen when the
Lake Kobe was there and you know, Bush and all
this other stuff. I said, who was number one in
twenty nineteen? They started giving me the names. I said,
who are the top five? Today? Not them? I said,
what happened? It's not their show today, it's your show today. Right.
They were hosting the event last time in front of everybody.
(09:12):
Today it's Trump's show, not yours. It doesn't mean it's
going to be Trumps showing in twenty twenty eight, but
today's Trump show. It doesn't mean that Trump's going to
be more influential in twenty twenty nine than Elon Elon
could be more influential than Elan and then Trump in
twenty twenty nine. But today it's not your term and
(09:36):
turn it's not Rubio understood that. JD is understanding that.
The scientists absolutely didn't understand that because he crushed it
out the Best State thinking he's bigger than Trump and
he was destroyed, destroyed where you know, people are like, dude,
(09:57):
I don't like the way you're handling yourself. Floridians loved
the guy, but at the national level, no. So sometimes
when you're in your own community and people tell you
how amazing you are, you start thinking you're Biggernough you're not.
Trump is the alpha amongst alphas today. He won't be forever,
but it's his season today and I'm not surprised that
his unfavorability is here, although I don't think it's gonna
(10:19):
stay stay there forever because when he made the tweet
about he's on the Epstein leg list, Trump wait till
this gets dropped? Trump was asked about Elan and Rob,
you have the clip of Trump's being asked about Elan,
this is it and he said, so, what do you
think about Ela Musk and what happened here. Look at
the graceful answer that Trump gives. Go forward, yeah, please.
Says that Elon Musk is the most unpopular public figure.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
In the country right now, I'm wondering, do you miss
having him around the White House?
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Or is that full actor?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I don't know the pole's accurate.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
I think he's a good person. I think he had
a bad moment, really bad moment, but he's a good person.
I think I believe that.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
That is such a non what we're used to Trump answer.
Think about how much more improved and how measure to
use the word grace Trump is. The old Trump would
have been like loser, get him out of here, Get
out of here, little rocket boy. You gotta give Trump
a little respect well the way he is handling it
in a situation, this situation, Musk said that he was
(11:20):
on the Epstein list, gave a peace.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Sign, walked out the door. And Trump has the.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Great in the history of mankind. Yes, there has never
been a more battle tested politically with limelight than him.
I'm not talking about war. You could say patent, you
could say maddess, you could say.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
A lot of this second limelight.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
When it comes down to a limelight. In the history
of mankind, let me say this to you. When it
comes to the history of mankind under limelight, not a
single soul has been more battle tested than Trump. Nobody,
not a soul. Give me a name. I want you
to actually think about top five. You cannot give me
(11:59):
a name. Give me who's the top five? Bush? No Obama?
No Obama never had a career before. Nobody knew who
he was until at speech in O four at the DNC.
Nobody has experienced more of people targeting Kim Yes than
Donald Trump. He is so battle tested. So to him,
a question like this is like a regular Tuesday. What
do you okay? Yeah, well, I think it was a
(12:21):
bad day that he had. I think he's a good guy.
I think he's a good guy. Next seven second answer.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
But even though he has been battle tested, that's undisputable. Yeah,
the grace that he's showing. Now this is the Trump
two point. Oh, is such a better presidency than Trump
one point?
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Because he doesn't have to get re elected. Well, that's
even done. But that is the most.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Important thing though, because think about it, if you had
to be re elected, that's when you would say, you
know what, let me have a little grace at the
fact that he doesn't.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Have to be that ready. Why respect, Let's go through
the whole thing from the day the president chose to run,
lost in found committed, he's running, lifestyle, he wins, he's everywhere,
then entitled bored, it's me rebellion. It's unfair, it's unfair,
(13:10):
it's unfair. Then he gets to break. What's the best
job you ever had. I've never had a better job
of being a president. Then he comes back. It's a
legacy in history. He is all about legacy and history,
and a part of being the legacy in history is
to learn how to manage team of rivals. And he's
doing it. And you got on the power versus first chart.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
I was trying to think when you started talking about him,
where would you put Trump right now in the in
the tary and rob if you came with the power
versus a great question like this, Well, I think, well,
think about we talked about it, and I know we
talked about us about two three weeks ago. Pat, I
want you, I want to know Trump right now with
the battle test, with everything that he's been going through
from they hate from destroying him with his money from
the lawfare, from the bullet to his head to where
(13:50):
he's at right now, even talking kindly about a guy
that basically called him a pedophile.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Where are you? On any given day, he can go
up to willing. I think that's it. I would maybe
go acceptance reason on some things. But I'm just I
think he's between willing game.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
I gotta tell you, I think he's somewhere sometimes between
the love and joy.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I don't think he's got peace. I think he's No.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I don't want gun in. I don't think he's I think.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
He said I love the word love. I love tariffs.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
He loves tariffs. You know. No, I don't think he's
there yet. I don't think he's there.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Really, I don't think he's not all.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
I don't think he's there yet, because in his mind,
when you're still in like right now. We had a
call yesterday. It was an intense call yesterday. First thing
in the morning, was it yesterday the day before? I
probably morning? Yesterday morning, tough morning because we had to
overcome a A A one of the twenty crisis. Literally
was one of twenty. I'm telling you, it was one
of the twenty crisis. You experienced in business, and I'm
(14:48):
probably gonna share it with you guys on on the
webinar that I do. And by the way, if you're
not registered for it, I want to give you this
white paper. If you're running a business, you have to
know these twenty threats because it's gonna affect your business
and it costs us a lot of money every time.
We all lot of money every time we go through it. Well,
we have this call and we're going through it, right.
And I said something to my guys. I said, can
I ask you a question? I said, so, we've known
(15:09):
about this since Friday. You haven't called me. Yes, why
is that? Are you not calling me because you don't
want to bother me Because I'm running it with my
insurance company. I said, there's one person in the company
and it's only one person that you get to call
him if there's a problem, a Tier one problem, on
his birthday, on his anniversary, on vacation, on a company trip.
He's in Italy, he's in Monaco, he's in Australia. There's
(15:32):
only one person. Because my guys were like, I was
very surprised you never called me when I was on
PTO and I was on vacation. I said, yes, I
don't want to call you because I want you to
enjoy your PTO. If a Tier one crisis happened, I
will call you, But I'm not the guy that calls you.
If not Tier one crisis, I'm a leader. We'll handle
it right. But for you, you don't get to treat
me that way. I'm the flip and founder. You got
(15:52):
to get those calls you call me. Yeah, don't feel
sorry for me. Don't feel I chose this job because
I freaking love it. He's still in the grind. There's
still ninety percent of stuff that's not done yet. He
still has to be an assholo at times. He still
has to push the envelope at times. He still has
to push people on at times. He still has to
do that. That's why he's not there yet. Once he
gets to the point that he knows some of these
(16:14):
tariffs to Panama Canals, some of these things are done,
the pieces coming, I think you are going to see
him going there. I don't think he's fully there yet.
That's why he still can't show too much love and joy.
You can't. You still have to show unpredictability every year folks,
there's threats when you're in business, when you're building your business,
whatever you're doing. This year, we are releasing our annual
(16:38):
Top twenty threat report, coming up at a free webinar
on August nineteen, six pm with a white paper that
will be given to everybody. These are threats that we
personally go through ourselves. We now have grown our business
the last couple of years from twenty employees thirty employees
to nine hundred and sixty four full time employees. This
is not ICs, this is not independent contractors. I'm talking
that's on the victamus and then on the PHV side,
(17:01):
we're dealing with complete different threads. So we're simply taking
all of those threats and we're sharing it with you
to be ready with it. Some of it is evergreen threads,
some of it is emerging green, some of it is
black Swan threads. But it's things that you need to
know about. So if you haven't yet registered for this,
