FULL TRANSCRIPT

0:00

just today on Monday January 6th the

0:02

Federal Reserve provided a warning that

0:05

nobody listened to Donald Trump got

0:07

certified on the 4year anniversary of j6

0:11

I'll leave a comment down below if you

0:12

were with me that day four years ago

0:15

when we covered an over 10hour live

0:17

stream of that day and Justin Trudeau

0:20

quit with poly Market good old insider

0:23

trading finding out before anyone else

0:27

we'll talk about that as well as CES

0:30

starting this week and people are

0:31

claiming Dell is now copying Apple so

0:34

let's hit it all in today's meet Kevin

0:36

report news that makes you money look I

0:41

quickly want to just start by saying I'm

0:43

bringing this back because you asked for

0:46

it somebody here wrote well actually 54

0:49

Woods girl wrote everybody don't we wish

0:52

that Kevin would put out a new show once

0:54

a day at least you were the best at this

0:57

Kevin to which I asked on X and many

0:59

other platforms is this real sentiment

1:02

and many of you replied saying yes this

1:05

is exactly what you want so because you

1:07

asked for it let's give it a shot so

1:10

first in

1:11

macroeconomics this morning we woke up

1:13

to a market rally thanks to what was

1:15

going on with foxcon which we'll talk

1:17

about in a moment propping up the AI

1:19

sector but also this idea that Donald

1:21

Trump might actually want or desire more

1:24

narrow tariffs a lot of this was

1:27

inspired through potentially leaks or

1:29

rumors

1:30

that Donald Trump is open to using a

1:33

universal tariff amongst all countries

1:37

rather than specifically targeting

1:39

countries like Mexico or Canada or China

1:42

basically saying look if you want to do

1:44

business with the United States there's

1:46

going to be a sales tax for you on it

1:48

obviously Democrats latch on to this and

1:50

say that any kind of tariffs are simply

1:53

going to lead companies to raise prices

1:55

and therefore consumer prices are going

1:57

to go up but those of you with then

2:00

economic interest know that the only way

2:02

that could happen is if those companies

2:04

actually have a large enough PP because

2:06

without a large PP there is no way you

2:09

could pass that extra cost on to

2:10

Consumers instead without pricing power

2:13

You're simply going to take it in the

2:15

margin and nobody wants to take it in

2:17

the margin taking in the margin is also

2:20

what could end up leading to layoffs

2:22

which so far we actually haven't seen

2:24

which is one of the reasons why the

2:26

economy keeps booming that hasn't

2:28

stopped the Wall Street J though from

2:31

talking about a little labor market

2:33

being more poopy doopy than maybe it

2:37

outright looks like it is but before we

2:40

hit the Wall Street Journal just as

2:42

quickly as I brought up this idea that

2:45

Donald Trump might be interested in more

2:46

narrow tariffs or a universal blanketed

2:50

tariff Donald Trump basically within an

2:53

hour or two came out and said that this

2:54

was a fake news we're still doing bigly

2:58

tariffs now in my my opinion when there

3:00

are leaks like this and then you have

3:02

people like Trump or musk suggesting

3:05

that it's fake news there could be a

3:07

sign that there's a little bit of Truth

3:09

in it and I wouldn't be surprised if a

3:11

universal tariff is what we end up

3:13

getting it makes it the easiest way to

3:17

sell to all com uh countries and say

3:20

look everybody's going to start at 10%

3:23

now maybe I'll give you a coupon code if

3:25

you give me certain favors I actually

3:27

kind of think it's a good negotiation

3:29

strategy so I kind of believe that

3:31

there's some truth to these rumors but

3:34

we'll have to see anyway the Wall Street

3:36

Journal did write a lengthy piece today

3:38

with actually no Nick tamos in it I was

3:41

surprised by that on the 27 we

3:43

unemployment rate Rising now many of

3:45

those of you who've been watching the

3:46

channel for a while know that I've been

3:48

specifically freaking out about this 27

3:50

we or 6month unemployment rate uh Rising

3:53

uh and the Wall Street Journal didn't

3:55

specifically mention the 27 week figure

3:57

except instead rather they mentioned the

3:59

six-month figure I just want you to know

4:02

those are the same so the 27 week

4:05

unemployment figure is up 50% since

4:07

20122 that figure is uh also uh hitting

4:11

its highest level in categories like

4:15

white collar worker categories like Tech

4:17

Law and media what I basically C

4:20

categorize as your like classic Tesla

4:22

buyers and the unemployment to job

4:25

openings ratio typically measured by the

4:26

jolt survey uh job openings and labor

4:29

turnover survey so I guess that's a

4:31

little we done it the jolts uh ratio is

4:33

now 1: one this is where Powell wants it

4:37

to be the problem is we got here with

4:40

one missing piece and I want you to kind

4:43

of think about having a softer labor

4:45

market as a puzzle imagine you're

4:47

putting together the puzzle and you're

4:49

going to go okay we're going to

4:50

constrain demand so we're going to have

4:52

less demand then that'll lead to less

4:55

hiring so less job

4:58

postings and it'll take longer for

5:01

workers to find work and we'll have

5:04

layoffs if all of those things come

5:07

together and we get to an unemployed to

5:09

jop openings ratio of 1 to one we're

5:12

good that's what the Federal Reserve

5:14

wants to achieve the problem is we have

5:17

achieved that one:1 ratio with three out

5:20

of those four components we've got the

5:22

less demand you know outside of the AI

5:24

sector we've got the less hiring and

5:27

we've got the it's taking longer to find

5:29

jobs portion so we got three out of four

5:31

but we're already at 1:1 and we haven't

5:33

hit layoffs yet and this Wall Street

5:35

Journal article is arguing what happens

5:38

if all of a sudden layoffs come in then

5:41

we take what are marginal job numbers

5:43

that we have today and potentially push

5:46

us into a recession I'm not saying that

5:49

to be a bear I'm just saying it to give

5:51

you a heads up that when the Wall Street

5:53

Journal starts putting on their front

5:55

page hey just a heads up watch for

5:57

layoffs because when that starts hitting

6:00

the data that's already marginal for

6:02

jobs data basically showing there's

6:04

really only hiring in government and

6:06

Healthcare which are lagging sectors

6:08

although mining manufacturing

6:09

Transportation are still holding up

6:11

quite a bit everything else is kind of

6:12

falling you might want to pay attention

6:15

in this comes at the same time the same

6:17

day actually which is often not uncommon

6:20

because the Wall Street Journal seems to

6:21

coordinate with the Federal Reserve that

6:23

labor warning comes on exactly the same

6:26

day that the Federal Reserve issued a

6:29

warning to today yes Lisa Cook over at

6:31

the Federal Reserve said the quiet part

6:34

out loud we reviewed a little logic

6:37

puzzle by the way together with course

6:39

members this morning and I'll give you a

6:41

little preview of what that puzzle looks

6:43

like and the reason I mentioned this

6:45

puzzle is because I also want to provide

6:47

an update that wait a minute when Lisa

6:49

Cook gives this warning she a little bit

6:51

gives kind of a quiet warning that's the

6:54

opposite of what I think the Federal

6:56

Reserve is trying to do take a look at

6:58

this might be a little confusing at

7:00

first don't worry I'll clarify this so

7:01

here's a little logic game I did with

7:03

course members this morning we uh we did

7:06

every day the Market's open we do

7:07

usually a market open live stream

7:09

together it's about an hour of real

7:11

estate and stock analysis and Q&A and

7:13

everything so a little logic puzzle we

7:14

wrote is a if fed signals concern Market

7:18

Falls C you fall into recession in other

7:22

words it's like a self-fulfilled crash

7:23

right if the market If the Fed says

7:26

everything is great the market goes up

7:28

you might avoid avoid a recession the

7:31

FED wants to avoid a recession and if

7:33

the market goes up the FED may be able

7:35

to avoid a recession therefore the FED

7:37

should signal optimism to the market AKA

7:40

therefore the FED will pump markets

7:43

right so it's a simple logic game that

7:45

says the Federal Reserve is actually in

7:47

a place where they're perversely

7:50

incentivized in

7:52

English it makes sense for them to pump

7:55

up the

7:56

market which I think is really

7:58

interesting but at the same time in like

8:01

really quiet Corners there are people at

8:04

the Federal Reserve that are

8:06

Whispering problems okay take a look at

8:09

this Lisa Cook says on Monday valuations

8:14

are elevated in a number of asset

8:16

classes including equity and corporate

8:18

debt yeah there's like no risk premium

8:20

between corporate debt and treasury debt

8:22

anyway where estimated risk Premia are

8:25

near the bottom of their historical

8:27

distributions suggesting that markets

8:29

May be priced to Perfection and

8:32

therefore susceptible to large declines

8:35

which could result from Bad economic

8:37

news or a change in investor sentiment

8:40

okay well remember this comes just at

8:42

the same time as the Wall Street Journal

8:44

is saying the last Domino to fall is

8:47

layoffs we haven't seen layoffs yet

8:49

which drum Powell says is good and

8:51

everybody says is good but the people

8:53

who are really paying attention realize

8:55

that's the last Domino and when that

8:57

last Domino goes at the same time that

8:59

you have sky- high valuations well then

9:01

you could have bad economic news and

9:03

this is why I give a warning please pay

9:05

attention to layoffs it's the last

9:07

Domino and they are now saying the quiet

9:09

part out loud that Jerome Powell won't

9:12

say because Jerome Powell wants to play

9:14

the logic game as in yeah basically

9:16

manipulate markets pump the markets to

9:18

try to prevent a recession the thesis

9:20

here is that if wealth goes up because

9:22

of the stock market or real estate

9:24

market then people will spend more money

9:26

and businesses will go back to hiring

9:28

maybe that'll happen in fact that's what

9:30

I hope will happen I hope that in

9:31

January February and March every

9:33

business goes out there and just starts

9:34

hiring a bunch of people and we actually

9:36

have job growth again not like the

9:38

nominal growth that we've been having

9:40

that's been mostly health care and um uh

9:42

and government jobs you know you can

9:44

have a lot of unemployed government

9:45

workers soon if uh VI VI's plans come

9:48

through but anyway this is a very

9:51

interesting warning because this is all

9:54

coming as the Wall Street Journal is

9:56

also saying that the cape ratio which is

9:59

basically Robert's this is Robert

10:01

Schiller's cyclically adjusted price to

10:04

equity ratio really like fancy fancy

10:06

word basically what you just have to

10:08

know from it is is that.com Bubble Burst

10:13

levels now all of that sounds like the

10:16

economy seems like it potentially maybe

10:19

should be setting up for an oopsy doopsy

10:21

but that's not really how it works see

10:24

UBS even argues Yes Ford pees are high

10:27

the cape ratio is high were higher than

10:30

the 10 and 20 year average on forward

10:32

pees but stocks don't fall because of

10:34

high valuations they fall because of

10:37

earning slumps or deteriorating

10:40

fundamentals however if you invest new

10:42

money at high fundamentals yes it is

10:46

more common to have negative returns so

10:49

it's just a little bit of a warning that

10:51

I'm starting to read about from

10:53

different areas especially since you

10:54

have now Bloomberg arguing that Amazon

10:57

and Tesla have hit quote they most EV

10:59

valuation in 20 years yeah well it's

11:02

made a lot of people money so probably a

11:05

good thing

11:07

anyway this has led some people to ask

11:09

me Kevin what are the cheapest sectors

11:11

in the S&P 500 right now and frankly

11:14

there is only one the cheapest sector in

11:16

the S&P 500 right now is real estate yes

11:21

because markets are really positioned at

11:23

the moment for basically markets to just

11:25

keep going up obviously if we hit

11:27

recession and yield fall that would

11:30

actually be really good for real estate

11:32

and you could see real estate sit at the

11:34

top and outperform everything else

11:37

that's obviously unless you have a big

11:38

foreclosure crisis which seems less

11:40

likely because of quite frankly people

11:43

have very low lock-ins on 30-year fixed

11:46

rate mortgages 15year fixed rate

11:47

mortgages we have the Dodd Frank Act and

11:50

the ability to repay it's very very

11:52

difficult to qualify for a mortgage so

11:54

of course there'll be some foreclosures

11:55

and short sales for those taking non-qm

11:57

loans non-qualified mortgage loans

12:00

basically more Fringe loans like hard

12:01

money loans but normal loans might not

12:05

see that sort of disaster that we saw in

12:07

2008 who knows these are just some

12:09

things that I'm watching and tracking

12:10

right now Bloomberg does also report an

12:13

increase in Short Selling in bonds

12:16

towards the end of last year all of this

12:19

pretty interesting now a course member

12:21

this morning asked me hey Kevin but if

12:23

the market ends up falling won't the

12:25

Federal Reserve just cut rates and

12:28

therefore St ulate markets just like

12:31

what happened in

12:32

2020 therefore why not just stay

12:36

invested and don't get me wrong I'm not

12:38

arguing that people don't be invested

12:40

right now I'm just saying if you have

12:41

new cash there is an argument to

12:43

potentially holding some of that new

12:45

cash on the sidelines not saying you

12:47

should try to time the market that's not

12:49

the right move for everybody's portfolio

12:51

in fact it's more likely the wrong move

12:53

for people's portfolio but when it comes

12:56

to the question of will the Federal

12:57

Reserve simply bailout Market like they

12:59

did the last time this depends mostly

13:02

because last time we had coordination

13:04

between the fed and the legislature we

13:09

not only printed money at the FED but we

13:11

helicoptered money that we helicoptered

13:13

that money away through a Congress that

13:16

was really primed to giving people

13:17

stimulus and unemployment pay and

13:19

basically money for doing very little

13:21

these sort of bailout programs I think

13:23

would be highly unlikely under a

13:25

republican controlled Donald Trump

13:27

Administration and legislature which is

13:31

probably going to be too far in the oh

13:34

no we might stir inflation again Camp

13:37

which actually means the pendulum could

13:39

swing the other way we could be going

13:40

from too much stimulus to not enough

13:43

stimulus in the future and then actually

13:45

face a deflationary oopsy now of course

13:48

nobody knows when that kind of stuff is

13:50

going to come but it is interesting

13:51

seeing this coordination between the

13:52

Wall Street Journal and the Federal

13:53

Reserve today in other news uh AI was

13:56

very bullish today mostly because uh

13:59

well foxc con's results were bullish

14:02

they see significant sales growth for

14:04

quarter one especially are expecting AI

14:07

server shipments to be stronger than

14:09

they were in 2024 now that's

14:11

specifically for foxcon so I kind of

14:13

question like well how strong were your

14:15

server shipments in 2024 and you know

14:17

that's a discussion that we can dive

14:19

into in a separate video but it's worth

14:20

paying attention to this Le Nvidia AMD

14:24

and a host of other AI stocks including

14:26

super micro computer to Rock It Up

14:30

in addition to this you also saw some

14:31

enthusiasm extending for hydrogen stocks

14:33

like Plug Power this is potentially due

14:36

to treasury guidance that came out late

14:38

Friday for hydrogen tax credits

14:40

something to keep in mind for a company

14:42

like Plug Power uh is that a lot of

14:44

these tax credits may end up

14:46

disappearing under Trump so pay

14:49

attention to that it's also worth noting

14:51

that FUBU had one heck of a day today up

14:56

over 200% rising from a buck 30 at its

15:00

low to over

15:03

$559 why did this happen well remember

15:06

that FUBU TV sued Disney to block Disney

15:10

from launching this program called venue

15:13

venu was supposed to be a sports focused

15:16

bundle of channels between Disney and

15:18

fox that they would broadcast but since

15:21

FUBU primarily operates in the sports

15:26

Market FUBU SU I'm oversimplifying what

15:31

is going on here but let's just put it

15:33

this this way FUBU had a strong enough

15:36

case to get the judge to block the

15:39

launch of venue the judge involved in

15:41

this litigation until the litigation was

15:43

resolved which basically means the judge

15:46

found fuu's arguments credible enough to

15:48

say yeah Disney let's wait until this

15:50

resolves so what did Disney decide to do

15:53

Disney decided to take ownership of 70%

15:57

of FUBU in partnership with Fubu

15:59

manage FUBU FUBU shareholders will own

16:02

30% of the company Disney will own that

16:04

other 70% and Disney agreed to combine

16:08

Hulu Plus live TV with FUBU TV so you

16:12

basically just made Disney even stronger

16:15

but obviously FUBU now has a much lower

16:18

risk of going bankrupt or disappearing

16:21

hence their market capitalization

16:23

explosion today in fact their market cap

16:26

right now is 1.6 $69 billion let's go

16:31

that's up over

16:34

3.5x today so uh if we look at that

16:37

valuation beforehand and divided by

16:40

3.5x you were under a $500 million

16:44

company

16:45

before this announcement today you about

16:48

$482 million so you saw a huge run up

16:51

now keep in mind trading liquidity is

16:53

pretty dang low in fuboo it's not like

16:55

micro strategy where you have a lot more

16:57

liquidity though

17:00

sometimes more liquidity can come as

17:02

insiders decide to sell and you get a

17:04

little bit more of an order book that

17:05

can move however when you have a thinly

17:08

traded stock you do have to be careful

17:10

of a momentum runup that just moves too

17:12

fast for its own good and it leaves some

17:14

people holding a back in the future so

17:16

just be careful on thinly traded stocks

17:19

speaking of thinly traded in interactive

17:21

brokers sent out increasing margin

17:24

requirements for micro strategy sounds

17:26

like they're starting to freak out over

17:28

potential margin calls in micro strategy

17:30

which is interesting because the stock

17:32

was up about 10 11% today which is

17:35

pretty remarkable it keeps running and

17:37

Bitcoin back to its 102 line watch that

17:40

102 line carefully I think that line is

17:43

pretty useful you can see how we fell

17:45

under that line for a period of time uh

17:48

right here but the last time we broke

17:51

the line fell under it broke it again we

17:54

rocketed up to

17:56

108,000 breaking through and sustaining

17:58

this 102 line is critical to make it up

18:01

to my next extension line of

18:04

155 and if you specifically look at a

18:06

stock like Tesla it's really important

18:09

that Tesla maintain this 4450 line

18:12

though we did end up losing that line

18:14

again today in this morning's Alpha

18:16

report I talked specifically about this

18:18

414 line in fact in this morning's Alpha

18:21

report I also talked about how the

18:24

NASDAQ 100 was likely to have priced in

18:28

most of its screen for the day at the

18:30

beginning of the day and to be careful

18:32

because I didn't think we would see much

18:34

higher through the rest of the day and

18:37

if you take a look by the time the alpha

18:39

report was sent right around this

18:41

morning hour here we ended at roughly

18:44

the same place as where we started maybe

18:47

up about 30 cents on the QQQ but this

18:50

sort of enthusiasm in the AM did wear

18:52

off pretty quickly so just watch for

18:55

that we want to see these levels

18:56

sustained it is good for the NASDAQ

18:58

though that we basically triple tested

19:01

this now

19:02

52175 line it's actually a bullish thing

19:06

for

19:07

markets moving on uh Ulta just announced

19:10

a new CEO in my opinion this has

19:12

Buffett's influence written all over it

19:15

so not a surprise given that he's got a

19:18

decently large stake there when it comes

19:20

to politics we did hear that Justin trud

19:24

has resigned which poly Market basically

19:27

predicted interesting about Justin

19:29

Trudeau resigning uh is his party's kind

19:33

of been falling apart since

19:35

2021 it's kind of worth noting what's

19:38

been happening to Liberal power since

19:40

2021 look at this here's 2021 on the

19:44

left where liberal power in Canada and

19:47

you see this in the United States as

19:49

well was much stronger or decently

19:52

stronger maybe about Five Points

19:53

stronger than conservative power but

19:56

that sentiment in polls reverse bur and

19:59

split especially in the middle of 2023

20:03

and throughout 2024 where basically

20:05

liberal polling power has fallen to

20:08

almost third place uh and conservative

20:11

power climbing to the strongest levels

20:14

we've seen in quite a while now a lot of

20:17

folks are wondering why is this

20:18

happening is this simply because Justin

20:22

Trudeau was unliked after all a bunch of

20:25

people were resigning from his cabinet

20:26

over the last few months it seemed like

20:28

every week somebody was resigning from

20:30

his cabinet uh a lot of people are

20:33

claiming that they were frustrated with

20:35

Trudeau's uh black face from earlier in

20:38

his life when he wore black or brown

20:40

face for his Arabian Knights costume

20:44

others other say he they're frustrated

20:45

with Trudeau because of covid lockdowns

20:48

others say it was him using emergency

20:49

Powers against the trucker protests

20:52

others say it just has to do with this

20:54

Obsession of not just Justin Trudeau but

20:57

liberals in general focusing too much on

21:01

immigration or I should say a lack of

21:03

immigration like focusing on Asylum

21:06

support for anyone to come into a

21:08

country climate change and identity

21:11

politics and prioritizing those things

21:14

over the things that people say matter

21:16

to them people say what matters to them

21:18

most is why don't we focus on the issues

21:21

that we have at home like better schools

21:24

so we can have a stronger economy and

21:27

lower inflation

21:29

legal immigration and secure borders so

21:32

this has been leading a lot of liberals

21:34

to lose support not just in Canada where

21:37

now Justin Trudeau is resigning keep in

21:40

mind he's just resigning as PM until a

21:42

different Liberal Party PM comes in

21:45

though the fate of the liberal party or

21:47

the liberal Coalition may not last very

21:49

long uh given this sort of sentiment so

21:52

just pay attention to that a lot of

21:54

people are looking at what's happening

21:56

across the world and saying maybe the

21:58

Progressive Movement is just over Trump

22:01

has come back marking a rise in

22:03

conservative ship uh we've seen a rise

22:06

in uh the same thing in Canada and in

22:10

Germany as well as other countries look

22:12

at the IFD the alterative for deand the

22:16

alternative for Deutschland uh and the

22:18

fact that now 75% of European

22:21

governments are led by or include a

22:23

right of Center party in its leading

22:25

Coalition people are saying this is all

22:28

happening why because of populism which

22:32

frankly this should be very simple to

22:34

understand what is populism hey let's

22:37

focus on our own problems first our own

22:39

economy first our own people first and

22:41

our own people's ability to get jobs

22:43

first today the Wall Street Journal

22:45

argues that the workingclass voters feel

22:47

that Elites academics Bankers

22:50

politicians are just disconnected and

22:53

don't care about us that they don't care

22:55

about fighting for us small business

22:57

owners small business entrepreneurs or

23:00

people just trying to make a buck and

23:02

make a living it's no surprise that

23:05

we're now in an age of potentially

23:07

population collapse Elon Musk talks

23:10

about that all the time and we can talk

23:11

more about that later but basically this

23:14

might be the first century that

23:16

populations have declined ever in the

23:20

history of the Earth for humans since

23:23

the black death in

23:27

1300 kind of crazy

23:29

uh anyway uh social media by the way

23:32

this is my opinion May accelerate some

23:34

of the divisions that we're seeing but I

23:36

personally don't think that social media

23:38

making the divisions uh apparent is a

23:40

bad thing I I I do think because

23:43

ultimately I think things that need to

23:44

be exposed should be exposed but I do

23:46

think that social media makes it harder

23:47

to heal after issues have been uncovered

23:51

because everybody kind of gets a little

23:52

bit more entrenched in their places and

23:54

so healing is really the hardest part

23:55

and and it's really difficult for

23:57

politicians to help heal a community

23:59

because usually they just pour gas on

24:01

their enemies and like I mean that

24:02

sounds graphic but and people just sort

24:05

of bag on each other more so anyway uh

24:09

this same thing by the way that you've

24:10

seen in the United States in Germany and

24:12

Canada you're seeing in France you're

24:13

seeing in the United Kingdom it's

24:15

happening all over the place uh center

24:18

right parties are focusing on helping

24:22

people feel like somebody's fighting for

24:24

them the downside of this is it could

24:26

lead to potential

24:29

gridlock and we've seen some of that

24:31

already in the United States consider

24:34

the following yes Donald Trump and JD

24:37

Vance were certified uh as President and

24:40

Vice President elect however the first

24:44

action of this new Congress we have to

24:47

elect Mike Johnson as Speaker of the

24:49

House in the first ballot it did get

24:52

done it didn't take 15 attempts like it

24:54

took last time to get Kevin McCarthy

24:56

elected and his speakership didn't last

24:58

anyway but there were some problems this

25:01

was not easy going Republicans could

25:03

only afford to lose one vote versus what

25:05

Democrats had and since six Republicans

25:08

abstained and three voted for someone

25:11

else other than Mike Johnson it took

25:14

some real convincing to get the rest of

25:16

the Republicans to vote for Mike Johnson

25:19

now the reason they pulled it off was

25:21

because if they didn't then Democrats

25:24

would have chosen hakeim Jeff and

25:27

Republicans fear that Democrats would

25:29

have blocked the certification of Donald

25:31

Trump and JD Vance kind of like four

25:33

years ago so like all we don't want them

25:37

but we'll take them okay now there's a

25:40

lot to do like the budget the debt

25:42

sealing deficit spending Ukraine

25:43

immigration energy bills the extension

25:45

of the Trump tax bills uh tax cuts from

25:48

2017 which expire this year next year

25:51

and you know Trump has been talking

25:53

about wanting one major package to get

25:56

everything done like a border Bill

25:57

Energy bill tax Bill and everything

25:59

together but now there are rumors that

26:00

they might even be open to doing a two

26:02

Bill approach where they split some

26:04

priorities maybe split taxes and

26:06

immigration into different bills who

26:09

knows but some of that hardliners ship

26:13

if you look closely enough is already

26:16

starting to come so that's going to make

26:19

2025 really really critical for Trump

26:22

because you really only got 2025 to

26:25

pound legislation through in 2026

26:28

everything everyone does is going to be

26:30

focused on the midterm elections 2025 is

26:33

really the time to get things done now

26:35

of course Elon Musk adds to this

26:37

conversation by saying had this election

26:39

not been won by Donald Trump

26:41

civilization would be

26:45

lost another one that Elon Musk adds is

26:48

in response to Johnny ascola who on X

26:51

writes Elon Musk is rapidly becoming the

26:53

largest spreader of disinformation in

26:55

human history hijacking political de

26:58

debates in the process Elon Musk

27:00

promptly replies Fu

27:03

to which Luna then replies sorry

27:06

Elon I couldn't

27:09

resist 1229 2024 please post a bit more

27:14

positive informative

27:16

content Elon Musk 8 Days Later Fu

27:22

Michael bar the vice chair for

27:25

supervision at the Federal Reserve has

27:28

step down voluntarily now I find this

27:30

actually really interesting because

27:33

Michael

27:34

bar is somebody who said he would stay

27:37

in his position at the Federal Reserve

27:39

somebody who wants more banking

27:40

regulation and banking supervision he

27:42

kind of promised that he would stay at

27:45

the Federal

27:47

Reserve and he would sue to stay there

27:50

if he needed

27:51

to what actually happened is he's now

27:54

agreed to step

27:56

down so it kind kind of makes you wonder

27:58

wait a minute did you think you were

28:00

going to get fired by Donald uh because

28:03

all of a sudden you're doing the

28:05

opposite of what you said you were going

28:08

to do which is quite interesting so a

28:12

lot of people are wondering could this

28:15

be a leading indicator of what happens

28:18

with Jerome Powell where Jerome Powell

28:20

says I absolutely won't step down and

28:23

then all of a sudden you end up stepping

28:25

down

28:26

anyway oops

28:28

in other news CES is back uh it starts

28:31

on Tuesday Jensen Hong that's tomorrow

28:33

Jensen Wong is expected to give the

28:35

keynote address there from Nvidia a lot

28:37

of people think he's going to talk about

28:39

Blackwell who knows if he will uh AI

28:42

devices are obviously expected to be the

28:44

showstopper there PC AI updates blah

28:46

blah blah blah at the same time India's

28:48

government is now wanting to issue

28:50

helicopter money to companies like apple

28:52

to move production from China to India

28:56

this has previously been challenging due

28:57

to fragmented politics uh in India

29:00

basically like you know trying to get

29:02

cities to work together to get things

29:04

done in India has been very very

29:06

difficult well uh the Indian government

29:09

is now trying to step in and simplify

29:11

and streamline this process and throw

29:13

billions of dollars at the problem as

29:15

well to make it happen this obviously

29:17

while China's economy is not doing so

29:19

hot anyway D is also rebranding their

29:22

computers now to Dell like their laptop

29:25

Series Dell Dell Pro and Dell Pro Max

29:28

which a lot of people now say is Dell

29:30

just copying Apple Dell says nobody owns

29:33

the word Pro or Max so they're just

29:35

simplifying their brands they're also

29:37

now authorizing uh the first AMD chips

29:40

ever to be used in Dell computers which

29:43

they say will be better for an AI

29:47

future okay then uh what else do we have

29:49

oh we had the first H5 N1 death in the

29:52

US it was in Louisiana someone over 65

29:55

years old with underlying health

29:57

conditions

29:58

apparently they were exposed to a

30:00

backyard flock of birds and the health

30:04

briefing said please don't touch dead

30:06

birds or dead animals or even sick

30:08

animals no human-to-human

30:11

transmission has been

30:13

evidenced also in Louisiana specifically

30:16

New Orleans where we had the Bourbon

30:18

Street Rampage the assistant district

30:21

attorney there just shot themselves

30:23

Saturday night and died he was 34 years

30:26

old and joined the bar in 2023

30:29

that person apparently wasn't working on

30:31

the Bourbon Street case because they

30:33

specialized in sexual assault cases but

30:35

people are still wondering what is going

30:37

on in New

30:39

Orleans so with this we should bring up

30:41

a dad joke of the day the dad joke of

30:44

the day is what do you call a Ford

30:47

Fiesta that has run out of

30:50

gas the answer a Ford

30:56

Siesta okay with that let's take a look

30:58

at a bonus The Babylon B has awarded the

31:02

worst vehicle by the National

31:05

Association of terrorist car

31:08

bombers and the metal goes to the Cyber

31:12

truck Tesla cybertruck voted worst

31:15

vehicle by the National Association of

31:17

terrorist car

31:21

bombers also sent out another Daily

31:24

Wealth email I was talking about a viral

31:27

post circul ating by the CEO of loom the

31:30

CEO of loom sold his company for just

31:33

under a billion dollars which is really

31:35

cool you know nobody knows how much he

31:37

actually net especially because you know

31:40

he may not have owned 100% of the

31:41

company and then he got to pay taxes and

31:43

stuff so it doesn't matter the point is

31:44

he's probably got hundreds of millions

31:46

of dollars and now there's a viral post

31:49

going around from his blog about how he

31:50

feels confused about what's next he

31:52

feels empty he feels uninspired he feels

31:54

like everything's a haze and a side

31:56

quest he almost s numb and so that's

31:59

where in my Daily Wealth email yesterday

32:01

which remember you can sign up for that

32:02

over at M kevin.com along with the alpha

32:04

report at M kevin.com I said that in the

32:07

end

32:08

game that where you have the money that

32:11

you need to live you have to ask

32:13

yourself what is there Beyond money and

32:16

I found that answer myself which I found

32:19

after a while of people asking me Kevin

32:20

you know why don't you just retire or

32:22

whatever I found that the piece that's

32:26

always missing when people are unhappy

32:28

is some true purpose see without purpose

32:32

you become a miserable vacuum you hate

32:35

your job you hate your life you hate

32:38

everything you're doing and every

32:39

inconvenience feels like another

32:41

punishment whereas if you have purpose

32:44

every inconvenience or oopsy doopsy is

32:47

really just a bump in the road a small

32:49

speed bump on the road to what your

32:51

ultimate purpose is and so I'm convinced

32:54

that purpose is what keeps Us Alive

32:57

Young and willing to endure that without

32:59

purpose life is potentially meaningless

33:02

people always ask me Kevin hey you know

33:05

what like what number is it going to

33:07

take and for me it's not a number it's

33:10

purpose it's building my company like

33:13

house Haack and the team the amazing

33:14

team that we have at house Haack and the

33:17

new companies that we could partner with

33:20

or the new business ventures that we

33:21

could do with house hack or outside of

33:24

house hack depending on what's

33:25

appropriate find purpose in my

33:28

relationship with my wife and my kids

33:30

providing value to you on YouTube or

33:34

through my Daily Wealth letter or my

33:36

Alpha reports even if I wasn't in this

33:39

position I try to find purpose as a cop

33:42

or a doctor something that would make me

33:44

feel like at the end of the day I

33:46

provided value somewhere in the best way

33:49

possible and I think that's ultimately

33:51

what's missing from a lot of folks who

33:54

feel a lack of purpose so anyway there's

33:57

your first meet Kevin report hopefully

33:59

you like it if you watch it on 2x it

34:01

should take you about 15 minutes to get

34:03

34:07
