Not Good. BIG TRUMP NEWS + ECONOMY | Meet Kevin Report [PM Jan 24]
FULL TRANSCRIPT
is China about to kick our butt in
artificial intelligence is Donald Trump
right about what's going on in
California with just sending more water
down south or were there bigger problems
that are now potentially the subject of
lawsuits some just straight up nasty and
is it possible that the United Kingdom
is the canary of the global economy with
the United Kingdom now on the edge of
for session we've got a lot to talk
about and we'll talk about meta and
their artificial intelligence we've got
a Daily Wealth update we've got dad
Joker the day a lot to talk about
including some real estate on today's
meet Kevin report news that makes new
money okay so first today we got S&P
Global flash PMI data from both the
United States and the United Kingdom in
the United States our readings missed
and that's probably why the stock market
and it's slight read today it wasn't bad
still obviously you know holding up at
higher levels but what was inside of
this composit that started making people
a little bit dare I say nervous well one
of the things that you saw inside of it
was a Slowdown in services and composite
business activity enough to pull the
entire average with manufacturing down
now just in English if you look at this
particular chart here what you'll find
is ah look at this slowdown here on the
right it comes right after this
enthusiasm that we saw after the
election now why is that interesting why
does any of this having to do with the
election matter to anyone well because
it's very eerily similar to what's going
on in the United Kingdom except in the
United Kingdom they had their election
on July 4th of 201 24 which if you think
about that that's 4 months before our
election so in other words they had an
election then it took about 4 months for
data to start going crap so in other
words things were excited leading up
into the election and then afterwards
and about four months later things went
to poopy dupies and now we're at about 3
months in a row of just Contracting data
in the United Kingdom consider this
particular chart for a moment and then I
want to show you some of the data that's
going on here and you could really see
it and start visualizing it uh so first
let's start by looking on screen at this
this right here shows you manufacturing
and services employment in the United
Kingdom peeking out right around the
time of the election at the same time
while input prices are surging got a
pretty big lag behind in the prices that
companies are able to charge that's a
potential sign of weakening pricing
power we've talked about that before we
call it the smaller peeee right if
nobody wants smaller PE but it basically
means while your costs are going up
you're restrained from being able to
pass on the higher cost in full so you
take it in the margin nobody wants
smaller PP and then taking it in the
margin it's not good uh but that's
exactly what's happened here in the
United Kingdom in fact look at this
here's a another chart where we can
overlay where the election bump was
right here which is GDP and Flash pmis
in the United Kingdom and how they've
fallen down in the months since the
election now why does that matter and
what does this have to do with the
United States a lot because we just had
our election in November and enthusiasm
has absolutely gone through the roof
which some have said is starting to prop
up manufacturing data potentially hiring
and just PMI data but what happens when
that starts weakening well to understand
what happens when that starts weakening
let's just consider what's going on in
the United Kingdom and then we'll go to
the United States so in the United
Kingdom we have some numbers that just
aren't that beautiful in fact the United
Kingdom is on the edge of a recession we
have an economy that is quote unquote
per S&P Global stalled in 2025 with with
risks tilted to the downside and an
economy that narrowly avoided a
recession they say that optimism has
fallen new orders have fallen and job
losses are now at the highest level
since the 2009 financial crisis you
could see these quotes directly on their
website just go to the S&P Global
website uh and you could look this up
yourself in fact you'll end up finding
something like this the flash PMI data
for December indicate that the UK
economy remained largely stalled
continuing to avoid a recession by a
narrow margin but with t with risk
tilted to the downside the subdued
business activity in January was
accompanied by a sustained downbeat
business optimism environment uh about
prospects for the year ahead and further
worsening of the demand environment as
reflected by a steeper reduction in new
orders not good not not good at all
pushing uh uh unemploy now pushing
employment lower again borrowing the job
job cutting scene in the pandemic the
rate of job losses signaled by PMI
reports over the past two months is the
strongest since the global financial
crisis in 2009 so this is obviously not
good this is pretty bad the United
Kingdom is not seeing that election bump
last now a lot of people in America say
hey well the election in the United
Kingdom is very different they don't
have Trump they don't have the
enthusiasm of what we're getting with
make America great again and honest to
goodness I hope that's exactly true
we've seen a lot of new money announced
to go into the United States uh but it's
also worth noting that does not
necessarily mean we are going to see
that money actually end up flowing into
projects in the United States consider
this for a moment the US chips act under
Biden authorized $280 billion towards
semi plants but as of October of 2024
pretty much all of those projects were
delayed in environmental reviews now
some of those environmental restrictions
have been lifted as of October of 2024
but it's been like 2 years and there's
been no progress things tend to move
very very slowly with this building
again hopefully things will be different
under Trump but this is where we should
think about Donald Trump for a moment
and go okay well what happened in
2016 well here's an example during his
first term Donald Trump worked with
foxcon that Chinese manufacturing
company that basically makes your iPhone
or assembles it or whatever right
designed in California Manu assembled in
China right anyway foxcon promised to
build a $10 billion Factory in Wisconsin
which Donald Trump then touted as part
of his plan to revive us manufacturing
basically people are like Yay you know
this is you know market watch put a good
piece together on this and they're like
hey this is Donald Trump going we got to
a huge1 billion plant coming so what
ended up happening well as of 2021
foxcon ended up only investing $672
million and instead of hiring 13,000
people they only hired
$1,454 people now the company employs
only about a thousand so it's even
shrunk since then so this has a lot of
people wondering okay wait a minute like
that's cool we can announce all these
projects and all this enus enthusiasm
coming off of an election but at some
point you're going to get to where
you've got to look at the market and say
hey we need this to actually turn into
reality rather than just hope or
expectations which the market is by no
means short of expectations or hope
right now consider the following Goldman
Sachs which sector will perform the best
in 2025 42% say technology up from 31%
last year and which region will perform
the best 58% say the United States up
from 32% last year and 32% the year or
18% the year before that and 32% the
year before that these are record high
levels of enthusiasm for investing in
the United States and investing in US
technology but enthusiasm usually comes
before reality and that the the spending
we're doing has to actually materialize
and if you look at the United Kingdom
it's kind of a warning sign that that
just because you have an enthusiastic
election does not actually end up
meaning you end up getting a strong
economy we've now had the third
consecutive month of contraction and
Manufacturing in the United Kingdom
their service sector only grew slightly
consumer facing providers were were
frankly the the weakest out of all of
them which isn't great it just means
your consumer sector is really suffering
and growth momentum has quote been lost
since the robust expansion of the summer
of last year going into the
elction now maybe corporate insiders
could give us a little bit of a heads up
of what to expect in America oh wait
never mind per Bloomberg intelligence
corporate insiders are buying at a ratio
of. 22 to the level at which they're
selling which means you basically have
five sellers or $5 being sold for every
$1 being bought by corporate insiders
and then you look back at that first
chart I showed you which was the S&P uh
flash p Mi chart for the United States
remember this one right here look at
this yes it's a volatile measure but
notice what you see a peak out after the
election and all of a sudden a decline
the question is will this decline just
continue to be sort of a regular
volatile movement here or are we going
to get the plummet like what the United
Kingdom is has gotten after their
election I hope not because this
deteriorating more would be very bad in
fact this is how today's PMI went and
again why markets were red today the
composite read came in at just 52.4 we
were expecting 55.6 Services missed at
52.8 we were expecting 56.5 now S&P is
like oh okay well we've just gone to a
moderate pace of expansion yeah that's
cool but the numbers totally missed
manufacturing beat but at 50.1 so like a
hair into the expansion territory that's
like very very basic and generic now
there's also this argument that
inflationary pressure is intensified on
the input cost side much like in the
United Kingdom but you're not seeing
that full dose getting passed on to
Consumers because like I've said you you
really can't do that you just can't pull
it off in this environment now what is
interesting is that inventories fell at
the steepest rate in the last 17 months
now usually when inventories start
falling like that you end up wondering
okay why your business is not building
up their inventories well S&P Global
says it's because companies are just
going through some of the existing
product that they have so imagine you're
a I don't know a manufacturer of uh I
don't know porcelain bowls or porcelain
cups okay so you've got you know racks
of ink and racks of molds and racks of I
don't know Clay or or porcelain or or
whatever the stuff is made out of right
mm
great so you start using that up more
but not rebuilding your inventory is
sending a little bit of a signal that
while businesses might be really
optimistic right now and they're trying
to use the stuff they have they're
basically being a little bit more uh
dare I say Frugal they're like you know
before we go buy some more supplies why
don't we just blow through what we have
first and see how the economy goes for
the first few months of the year and
look I mean you can't really blame that
there's a lot of optimism but it's a
good idea to be frugal as well I think
the optimism is actually quite insane
right now uh and I'm not it's a bad
thing again I want the economy to do
well because it's great for startups I
threw this page away CU I read it I'm
like okay uh but maybe they're right
this here has a um forecast of a
probability of recession according to
economic forecasters right cuz we trust
the economic forecasters but anyway
probability of recession from the
economic forecasters here sits at just
22% in 2025 and I don't blame them
because they're so much enthusiasm right
now how could you possibly make the
argument that there's going to be a
recession this year hey you know maybe
it would be stupid to make that argument
you can see that there at the bottom but
the point is nobody seems to be
preparing for the potential downside
with the exception of businesses which
are starting to go uh let start using
some of our supplies look at what
happened to the United Kingdom okay they
had election Euphoria and then it went
to poopy doopy it's not good you know we
were talking about that with course
members this morning in the course
member live stream we're like oh pay
attention to this you know we're not
saying it's a problem today we're just
saying you what what what the facts are
and what the data is uh and then of
course trying to provide uh you know
some some tools for us to learn from
this that's always the goal you know I
spent hours every single day trying to
put this together and I apologize by the
way for being absent this morning uh
Jack woke me up at 2:00 a.m. vomiting he
ended up vomiting like 7 to eight times
just screwed up the whole morning and
then I finally fell asleep again but
then I didn't wake up until later so I'm
like short on sleep but I also woke up
late because it was just a disaster okay
I'm almost done with the 32nd year of
life so don't worry uh everything should
be just fine by Tuesday when I'm 33 and
I'm out of this odd year even year I'm
out of 30
to okay anyway very interesting uh now
too bad that's not it for the news today
because now apparently we have to worry
about the Chinese okay so the CEO of
scale AI argues that deep seek which is
the Chinese AI company has 50,000
illegal h100 chips and The Economist is
arguing that chines llms are actually
well they're not the best they're far
cheaper to make than americ ameran llms
and they're actually only considered to
be about 3 months behind United States
versions which is insane because they've
recently argued that they're they've
basically been able to get to Seventh
Place
in
llms with just $56 million of spend this
has a lot of people going oh my
gosh the United States is spending like
56 billion do on uh on artificial
intelligence over like a 3 to six month
period and then we do that over and over
and over again in fact this dude on X
put together a great piece he his name
is the short bear I don't know uh it
sounds like he's a bear that is short
rather than maybe a bear that is short
in stature but anyway take a look at
this us-based AI companies alone will
have to generate about 600 billion
dollars a year in Revenue to pay for
their AI Hardware according to seoa the
capex and R&D will likely be accepted to
remain competitive given the risk of not
being involved in the space like meta
announcing today oh we're going to
invest up to $65 billion up from the 51
we promised earlier on more capex well
remember what happened the last time
meta did this the last time meta did
this they was on the metaverse and they
were blowing so much money on the
metaverse until they got punished and
their stock went down to the $90 range
which was crazy now oh no meta spending
more money on AI we like AI stock goes
up to all-time Highs but where's the
ROI and that's what a lot of investors
are kind of
like I don't know but if the Chinese can
create a better product than we can
maybe we need to be nervous in fact The
Economist argues that China already has
the reasoning style AI like uh open AI
has the 01 product which basically just
takes the answer and throws it back into
the machine and almost it's almost as if
it talks to itself it's just sort of
like emulating human reason like okay I
think this is the answer now let me read
it again do I agree that that is the
answer H well I could add a little more
context to this whatever right okay cool
so China's already doing that and so the
economist fears that China could
actually end up with some sort of super
intelligence breakthrough and end up
giving China some kind of massive lead
over the United
States and at that point do we really
have to be worried about freaking Tik
Tok The Economist is freaking out about
it they're like y'all y'all worried
about Tick Tock yall realize what we're
up against here what we're actually up
against this is
crazy anyway
uh this this gets interesting but
what'll also get really interesting is
this uh uh note that's circulating from
meta now I don't have a way of verifying
this so that this could be totally false
uh but uh it's it is very very
interesting and I'm excited to talk more
about it in the course member lectures
I'm going to pull it up in just a second
uh I still have not gotten around to
updating the video on the meet Kevin
website uh pitching how great the
trumponomics course is because you know
a lot of content has already released
new content is in production uh we we
the the price of the course will
probably be about double within the next
six months as as actual like more Trump
content comes out we've got a lot of
trump content in there already filmed at
the end of last year but if you want to
join it go to meet Kevin check it out
you get lifetime access to the course
member live streams at course member
live this morning we're starting a
trading Channel with options Trading
alerts uh all of that is starting uh
February 1st uh and so we'll have
options Trading alerts as well as uh
those will be bought options sold
options uh stocks you name it so it's
it's it's going to be really fun uh
we've got some really cool things coming
so buckle up for that I just need to get
the marketing video done but by the time
I do I feel like I should raise the
price you know it's like when marketing
is perfect then we're going to have a
higher price anyway let's get into that
um that meta letter so take this out
here it started so this is uh looks like
it's some sort of meta post somewhere uh
it started with deep seek version 3
which rendered the Llama 4 from Facebook
from meta already behind in benchmarks
adding insult to injury was the unknown
Chinese company with $5.5 million of a
training budget Engineers are moving
frantically to dissect uh deep seek and
copy anything and everything we can
learn from it I'm not even exaggerating
management is worrying about just ifying
the massive cost of gen aai how would
they face leadership when every single
leader of geni is making more than is is
making more than what it cost to train
deep seek entirely in other words like
the CEOs are making more money than what
deep seek took to train their entire
Ai and then we have dozens of such
leaders oopsies deep seek R1 made him
even more scared I can't reveal
confidential information but it'll soon
be public anyway
uh it should have been an engineering
focused small organization but a bunch
of people want to join the impact group
and artificially inflate hiring in the
org everybody loses okay so I think
what's happening here is something that
I've been warning about probably for
about a year now which is eventually
these these things are just going to
become commoditized like there's nobody
like everybody's going to have this on
their phone on their computer or
whatever it's like cool you have a
really good
encyclopedia great absolutely fantastic
you've got an encyclopedia speaking of
Encyclopedia this is just like
convenient timing look uh look who's
here with Gavin gruesome people from the
area I appreciate the governor coming
out and meeting me Kevin oh you very
much and uh we'll be talking a little
bit we want to get it fixed we want to
get the problem
fixed and there'll be some ways
but this is just awkward anyway so such
a distraction Kevin was like gez that's
almost as distracting as you pitching
your freaking coupon code sorry guys
it's just like I actually you know I've
been doing course member live streams
since like 2017 and I actually think
they're really good like we go into some
really good fundamental analysis and
thought and uh and sometimes they
contribute to the trade alerts and the
options alerts uh and uh and there's
some really good stuff there so really
excited about it you pay once you get
lifetime access to them got to raise the
price we're probably going to do a
birthday coupon code at a higher price
so anyway I give you a heads up uh you
can get in before then email us if you
have questions or want to bundle up at
staff atme kevin.com okay so this uh
this llm fear is uh obviously a big deal
a lot of people are freaking out about
this but uh I don't think it's very well
known that these are going to be
Commodities you know every computer
every iPad every phone every Everything
basically your car or whatever
everybody's going to have a really
glorious encyclopedia okay
congratulations what good does that do
you well it's the same good that it's
been doing since the beginning of 2023
okay cool what's next oh they're going
to be agents okay yeah sure maybe they
can go through a checklist that's not
really predictive it's just a bot going
through a checklist is that really
revolutionary is that justify you know
hundreds you know 500 billion dollars of
money going into just basically
supporting open AI I don't think so but
you know whatever so uh as far as the uh
uh you know Stargate drama Oracle still
doing well you know there's still arm
enthusiasm but people also say that you
might get this sort of Promise of $500
billion over the next 5 years and it
ends up being a fraction of that in
actual spending speaking of uh actual
spending Marco Rubio has ordered a halt
to virtually all existing foreign aid
programs pending a review that each
dollar spent actually benefits the
United States they say every dollar we
spend every program we fund and every
policy we pursue must be justified with
the answer to three simple questions
does it make America safer does it make
America stronger and does it make
America more prosperous damn that was
hot I freaking love that I love that
almost as much as this next sponsor
which it's all paragraphed down below so
if you don't care about the sponsor you
could always skip ahead but they're
doing some cool stuff it's think it's
cool especially before the big game so
here check it out in the link below and
use my link for that paid sponsor down
hey you all know I love asymmetric
trades where the payoff could be larger
than what you were trading well
crypto.com is now offering a sports
trading opportunity where you can trade
$26 if you lose your payout is zero if
you win your payout is
$100 sounds like an asymmetric bet so
far right after all all you have to do
is BET yes or no and that's because
crypto.com is running a promotion for
their sports trading opportuni so if you
take a look at their website here we
zoom out a little bit you could trade
your predictions so if you believe a
certain uh team is going to win or lose
whether it's in college football or pro
football bowl games you name it in all
50 states you could make that trade to
cost you $26 per contract there are fees
that are sometimes up to a19 9 per one
of these contracts but if you're correct
the payout is
$100 sounds like an asymmetric trade to
me and if you want to learn more use my
link in the description down below
because you'll get a bonus $10 towards
your first trade well technically after
your first trade but you know me we
always like to net these things out so
you can get started in a few simple
steps click the link down below create
an account at crypto.com trade contracts
and get your payment usually within one
business day after you win should you
win now keep in mind this is a form of
Commodities trading uh this means that
yes trading involves a risk and may not
be appropriate for everybody and you
should consider whether this is
appropriate or suitable for you and
remember that crypto.com is sponsoring
this video just think the promotion is
actually pretty good again I'm looking
at it like hm maybe this is going to be
what finally gets Kevin into sports
taking what I love trading and bringing
Sports to it let's go again check it out
use my link down below for that extra
$10 keep in mind they've also got a big
Bitcoin contest going uh it's a $100,000
contest where basically the top 10
sports Traders will win $10,000 in
Bitcoin each between now and uh 200:
a.m. on Super Bowl Sunday so uh this is
a contest you're automatically entered
into once you activate your USD cash
account enable derivatives trading
contracts right and trade at least one
sports contract before 2: a.m. on Super
Bowl Sunday check it out via my link
down below now the Marco Ruby o uh Aid
restriction does exempt Israel Egypt and
foreign aid uh also there are now
reports that multiple agencies are kind
of freaking out a little bit because of
the hiring freeze that's going on in
America uh especially amongst well
mostly amongst the federal government
which makes you wonder about the PMI
data we were talking about earlier but
the hiring freezes that are set are
expected to last for 90 days except for
the Internal Revenue Service they're
actually going to have to get treasury
permission to hire again and the FDA is
unsure if they're currently allowed to
even issue critical safety alerts Health
agencies are apparently not
communicating uh via external
Communications because and the
transportation system is shutting down
for new projects mostly because
everybody's trying to calibrate around
like what are we allowed to do what are
we allowed to say things are a little
bit up in the air right now but honestly
that does happen every presidential
Administration so maybe it's not that
big of a deal uh and one thing that is
interesting is Donald Trump's been busy
look at this executive orders in the
first 100
days Donald Trump has exploded he's
taking the record for Obama Trump one
and Biden I mean he's almost done as
many executive orders in the first like
four days as he did in the first 100
days the last time he was President
crazy amount of executive orders some
people say it's just designed to sort of
like signal you know be a messaging
signal other people say it's designed to
overwhelm the courts I don't know but
what I do know is we just at the lowest
level of home sales since 1995 thanks to
high mortgage rates and everyone's
basically like huh this doesn't feel
good for the real estate market although
prices have been holding up uh the only
Market that really seems to be booming
after the Trump election is the luxury
Market ah kind of crazy in fact house
Haack had uh an option on a uh a luxury
deal uh that you know we'll end up
Runing out for a good cap rate but had a
suspect deal uh build and uh had the
option on it before the election and
after the election like luxury markets
across the United States have just been
selling out at like record prices
because everybody's like yes Trump won
and they're spend spend spending it's
crazy so house I think got a house
probably got like a multi-million dollar
wedge there substantial multi-million
dollar wedge it's kind of cool uh but
anyway uh Donald Trump uh is as you saw
in California today uh a lot of uh drama
going around around or circulating
around Donald Trump's saying that uh too
much uh water is just running off
California and evaporating Donald Trump
says the water is coming from Canada and
it's just getting diverted to the ocean
I think he kind of made an oopsy there
given that Canada is not directly above
California we got a couple States in
between but I think what he's referring
to is the fact that if you just look at
our Sierra Nevada mountain range in
California 4.9 to 6.5 trillion gallons
of water run out into the ocean every
single year from the Sierra Sierra
Nevada mountain range now yes some of
the water that that flows down into the
Sacramento sanen Delta you know where
the Delta smelt are and house sa owns
property around there some of that water
ends up getting pumped down to the South
to fill up reservoirs but our reservoirs
were decently filled up in SoCal with
the exception of probably the most
important one the Sanz Reservoir and
that's where we start getting into some
of the real big problems that we have
the big problems are California is in a
place where you're just not actually
handling basic need infrastructure
projects the way you should and it's
absolutely embarrassing that we have a
California government that is so inept
and incompetent it's kind of dare I say
disgraceful but the way to look at it is
the LA Times put together a fantastic
piece and what they basically said is
hey look California is in a situation
where they could have spent $57
million fighting
and actually uh upgrading infrastructure
in Los
Angeles except what did they do
instead they didn't and because they
didn't because they were caught up in
other priorities or whatever else
California ended up now suffering what's
going to end up costing 50 plus billion
dollar these are some pretty good pieces
I I I'll show you a few quotes of them
right here I think they're actually very
incredible so let's see here there's
also a lawsuit going on uh now from some
of the celebrities who have just
absolutely lost their homes and their
livelihoods or at least the you know
their setups it's really just
embarrassing what's happened in
California but anyway uh let's uh let's
expand this here so you can see this a
little easier here here's a la lawsuit
Spencer Pratt and Heidi monok suing
LAPD uh sorry La DWP that's the city of
Los Angeles and the Department of Water
and Power but some of the charts that I
wanted to show you right here
red tape budget shortfalls and
government in action repeatedly styed
plans for water system improvements in
parts of Malibu and toena Canyon high
priority items including those that were
listed as high priority fire related
items were compelling City officials to
act since 2013 and they just weren't
done there were plans to build new
collections for from water systems or
from reservoirs or to fix the San yanz
uh uh water base the reservoir and guess
what you just never got it done and this
is really what's embarrassing because
you look at California it's like for a
state that taxes this much how do you
fail so badly at at actually maintaining
your basic infrastructure uh in Los
Angeles so the LA Times I'll show you a
little bit more from this piece because
I just I I think it's so fascinating uh
but the LA Times Really says that uh you
could have spent maybe 7 years from 2013
actually going through piece by piece
bre fixing leaky pipes leaky pumps and
repairing the issues that ultimately
contributed to this fire getting out of
control more fire staff more fire
protection every element uh that was
basically screwed for this fire but it
wasn't done because the politicians
really just failed Californians uh and I
highly blame the politicians because
ultimately
they're the ones that we put in charge
of spending on our behalf to make sure
that we're safe now the politicians end
up going as far as trying to blame uh
individuals who reside in like Malibu or
other parts of California and what
they're trying to do is they're
essentially saying hey uh hey hey whoa
whoa uh you know yall complain that you
didn't want higher water prices so
because you didn't want higher water
prices um uh you know we we didn't end
up doing any of those infrastructure
projects we talked about and this is
where people are like what's your
freaking problem like maybe if y'all
could tell us hey like we need to
upgrade our fire systems
because excuse me our water systems are
absolutely failing well then maybe
people might vote a little differently I
kid you not you can see it here look at
this a lack of progress on many of the
plans has been driven apart by residents
opposition to potential increases to
their water rates this is literally
finger pointing by the politicians
saying oh well people in Malibu are not
pro development bro maybe they're not
pro development because the city's
Planning Commission takes forever to
actually approve projects I mean you try
to get a project to prove over there
look at this the estimated cost for fir
flow needs was just $57 million in
construction would have taken 7 years
they would built new tanks fixed the
aging and severely severely deteriorated
other tanks or systems or whatever and
what now we're spending 1,000x that
billions more it's insane I it's just
mindblowing to me the the incompetence
uh these are literally politicians who
on their desks have hey here's serious
problems these serious problems could
get out of hand and could cause billions
of dollars and fire damage hey maybe if
you all fix it you won't end up with
those problems what do you think about
fixing it oh yeah no not interested oops
I don't get it I don't I just don't get
it now then then you get this drama
about the Delta smelt you know I'm I'm a
big believer that if there's so much
drama about certain species why aren't
we trying to build new habitats for
those species like humans are here we
build things so yes Wildlife is going to
move and get relocated but that doesn't
mean they have to go extinct I'm sure we
could find a new home for the Delta
smelt I don't know it sounds a little
ludicrous to me but then again you know
it also sounds ludicrous to me that it
takes 30 minutes for firefighters to
respond to a burn SCAR Where you know
there's potentially still smoldering
fire after the uh fire at the um uh set
off by fireworks above the Palisades and
it takes 30 minutes for firefighters to
respond to it on the morning of the
Palisades fire when it reignites you see
that to me is is is ludicrous I mean
politicians should be getting fired for
this it's bad
Donald Trump suggested with Hannity that
uh maybe what we need to do is uh get
rid of FEMA entirely and just have
States solve their own problems and uh
the federal government is willing to
contribute to uh uh to the funding for
these but uh ultimately States might be
able to
establish how to solve their problems
themselves in the best manner uh you've
apparently now also on sort of some
micro news here got X so Ela mus x uh
having about $3 billion of debt go up
for sale at a discount of 90 to 95 cents
on the dollar so this is Bank held debt
that X OES and uh there's some hope that
they can actually sell this debt at just
a 5 to 10cent Discount now because
there's enthusiasm around musk and given
his ties to Trump maybe this is
opportune for people to buy into this
debt but it's worth noting that this
month Elon Musk mentioned hey look we're
growing in influence and power x is
doing great but our finances are still
problematic
oops anyway uh American Express spent a
little bit more money on uh their
marketing up 31% year-over-year that led
the stock to actually fall after
earnings even though growth was still
moving along uh we do have to end up
hitting now our dad joke and Daily
Wealth so let's hit it uh let's first
hit the dad joke uh do you stir your
coffee with your right
hand well if you do you should consider
using a spoon next
time yeah I know not funny so Daily
Wealth H well today what I'd like to
talk about
is it is so great when you have finally
completed chaos and I just want you to
try it we've talked about Chaos Theory
so many times before go go start with
one drawer just open up like one drawer
of your desk right now or your do your
side dresser a drawer in your car or
your center console or closet or
whatever dump it all out just reorganize
that one
drawer and the feeling you get when
you're done every time you go open that
drawer the next time it's sort of like
what we've got in the office now which
is so exciting it's it's like 96 97%
complete now every time I come in
there's like this new enthusiasm to work
or to use the functions of why you had
that drawer so to speak in the first
place but I want you to take a moment to
think how can I bask in the joy of the
chaos theory that I've performed and the
successes that have come out of it so um
that's the uh tip for today anyway thank
you so much for watching folks we'll see
you in the next one goodbye and good
luck and start using that spoon go to
