2:17
about the need
2:19
to invoke be emergencies at
2:21
the counter signal which is a right leaning canadian
2:23
does your publication reported that thirty four different
2:26
crypto wallets also being
2:28
targeted by canadian officials the
2:31
law grants the government extraordinary
2:34
powers like the right to bad public
2:36

civil liberties association said a plan to challenge the government's
2:40
decision teens for
2:43
remember that road apiece
2:45
and financial the apply swarming for barrio
2:48
weiss is common sense about a year ago
2:50
the piece was about the private sector financial
2:52
platforms d platforming folks are
2:55
so your thoughts sacks you have
2:57
ninety seconds on the uninterrupted the
3:00
on the chicago area thank you jake oh yeah that's true
3:02
or last summer i wrote a piece for
3:04
a very wise as a sub stack
3:07
talking about how financial the plot for me
3:09
the next wave online censorship and
3:11
here we are it's actually happened what
3:14
i could not as predicted is a would occur
3:16
in our mild mannered neighbor
3:19
to the north and that the reprisals
3:21
would be directed by the government
3:23
itself not just a a consortium
3:25
of a private actors the white
3:28
trudeau has done is he didn't just
3:30
employ the emergency act against the
3:33
trucker so that he could basically
3:35
arrest them and break up the protests they
3:37
have now directed banks
3:39
the and any plans to some even crypto
3:41
currency wallets to freeze
3:44
the accounts not to the truckers but
3:46
anybody who's contributor to them basically
3:48
any wants to trade for a by dollars or more that
3:51
there were two a crowdfunding site to pay raise
3:53
money from all those people the thousand
3:55
would keep of just ordinary canadians
3:57
who did nothing more than contribute
4:00
the an anti government protests they
4:02
are now at risk of financial ruin
4:04
because the bank accounts been frozen the
4:06
you after wonder what what is the
4:09
answer that justifies the means read
4:12
your omakase is on the wane it's on
4:14
it's way out at the same time that trudeau
4:16
was announcing these dictatorial measures
4:19
the for does note the guy
4:21
runs on ontario the largest
4:23
province's thirteen seconds before
4:26
was out there saying that he was gonna have a that
4:28
to the mandates we're going be over why
4:31
exactly are they doing this were
4:33
you know where the end of covered and
4:35
i'm sad to me ask you questions go first
4:39
there were people online making donations
4:41
to the criminals who loot the
4:43
kill people in san francisco which he
4:46
railed against the criminals you're
4:48
breaking the law and should all be put behind bars
4:50
you think that it would be appropriate in that context
4:52
for the government the block their donations
4:55
to supporting criminal activity and a criminal
4:57
rain you know that i think
4:59
we all agree you know if
5:01
should should be transpiring the
5:03
didn't know the or the implication there's a truckers
5:06
are using violence or or
5:08
something like that and they're not a me it's been
5:10
it's been largely peaceful protest it's been
5:12
very annoying to people whose money
5:14
you know it's funny that isn't the case he made the they're
5:16
actually breaking the law by blocking streets
5:19
and that's not you know there's a peaceful protest we don't
5:21
get a permit next we go in a public snowed
5:23
and peacefully protest within within the
5:26
confines of along with allowed in that jurisdiction
5:28
worked for with would he puts are doing a civil
5:30
disobedience which is not a peaceful
5:32
protest it is you know kind of breaking the law
5:35
to make a point and is peaceful because
5:37
there's been no violence if you look at axel but it's
5:40
mostly , bridge in law right foot let me
5:42
let me ask the question for free bird bent sex
5:45
yeah the group of truckers
5:48
were shutting down the bay bridge with
5:50
three lanes of traffic and then shut down
5:53
the to eighty and the one or one and it
5:55
impacted as you say in fact are shutting
5:57
down rosetta from an illusion
6:00
businesses that are immersed and or how to get
6:02
through would you want them to be towed
6:04
would you want their cars to be towed listen here
6:06
here's the thing the ambassador bridge the
6:08
this vital choke point of commerce between
6:11
the us and canada that was blocked and that
6:13
was creating a serious problem but it had already been
6:15
cleared on monday by
6:17
the time that trudeau in both the emergencies act
6:19
and then on tuesday he then invokes
6:22
the original a your opinion sacks if they if
6:24
they block roads and bridges
6:26
would you if everyone has
6:29
their breaking their law in that way to know is one
6:31
lane it's all freelance amateur society
6:33
understood understand that the the standard here
6:35
because
6:36
the dooming out the last year and the year before
6:39
right there was a protest happening with the alam
6:42
the blm protest resulted in
6:44
damage to private property
6:46
that burning cars there
6:49
were protests that the capital that
6:51
involve folks trespassing is a federal
6:53
land or and federal building now
6:56
there's protests that are are
6:58
you know blocking vital a trade routes
7:00
and you know access the emergency vehicles
7:02
and all that sorta stuff to me also
7:05
you know people in san francisco breaking the law nothing
7:07
put in jail my personal opinion
7:09
is any one is forcing the law we should stop and
7:11
for breaking the law and anyone that wants
7:13
to kind of you know follow peaceful protesters
7:15
or make appointed gonna make a point but
7:18
if the law's the law synergy universal standard
7:20
to hold up a loss and it's the case and editor
7:22
cases people are giving money to aid
7:25
in breaking the law shouldn't we stop the
7:27
for once you know christmas not eligible for
7:30
the whole as it was i think you're completing
7:32
a bunch of really important things there
7:35
aiding and abetting criminals it
7:37
is already illegal there are ricoh statute
7:40
that some allow the authorities
7:42
to go after people that are aiding and abetting
7:46
the monetary support criminal
7:48
behavior
7:50
that really there's a whole body of lot
7:52
the federal state local level
7:54
that allow you to deal with protests okay
7:57
the real question is why did
7:59
you to go and invoke emergency powers
8:02
at the tail end of a pandemic what
8:04
is effectively nonviolent
8:07
protest against that's the key question
8:10
right so just to give you some canadian history
8:12
that has a canadian citizen what i could tell
8:15
you is a we didn't vote this emergency
8:17
powers act three times in the past the
8:20
first was for all more to the
8:22
second sorry for her one the second
8:24
was for world war two in the third was the assault
8:27
you crisis which was a domestic terrorist organization
8:29
in quebec that was fighting for
8:31
a separate homeless that's not
8:33
the three other times in the past that a sitting
8:35
prime minister has invoked the broad
8:38
sweeping emergency power they
8:40
did it because you exhaust the natural
8:43
body of law in the constitution and the bills
8:45
you know the charter of rights that governs the
8:48
normal behavior a democratic society what
8:51
was it not any of those things i don't think
8:53
anybody could claim that a bunch of nonviolent
8:56
protest yes they were annoying yes
8:58
they basically you know stop some commerce
9:01
i don't think it was on the order of world war one
9:03
world war two or a domestic terrorism
9:05
issue like the s r que crisis the
9:07
why invoke it basically
9:09
get as a feel free card where you can behave
9:12
without any checks and balances that confounding
9:14
on a second didn't we exhaust
9:17
the current body of normal governing
9:20
law if we didn't
9:22
why is this example okay the
9:25
counterfactual are so many
9:27
imagine trump invoke the same during blm
9:31
imagine the i did this right now right you
9:34
would be up in arms as as
9:36
well sudden results which their feet they emerged
9:38
that trudeau invoked requires
9:41
something like an active espionage
9:43
against the country or serious
9:46
the word serious violence or in the law
9:48
or the threat of serious violence those
9:50
conditions were simply not met then
9:53
on top of that to go after
9:56
people who contributors was twenty five dollars
9:58
to these truckers who are time support
10:00
them because these guys are not making any money you
10:03
know there could be a very military and are
10:05
very harsh conditions do you make a small
10:07
child he was a small donation to
10:09
support these people to aid them the simple
10:11
working class people
10:13
who are protesting for normalcy
10:15
and and get their freedom back and now all of a sudden your
10:17
bank account gets frozen it is basically
10:20
creating say is
10:22
is is gonna have a chilling effect because
10:24
essentially create cost of untouchables
10:26
because no one's gonna want to associate with transact
10:29
with or donate to this
10:31
group of people these designated people
10:33
now underly mercies
10:35
do your because we have frozen if you do
10:38
yoga and think it's going to have the opposite effect i think
10:40
this blog and trudeau space this is the
10:42
worst decision making by any major
10:44
political leader in a long time to
10:46
go after a group of people as smart sat in
10:48
the in the waning days of a pandemic
10:50
what is the point why are we picking
10:52
this weiss he picking there was a guy on
10:55
so what makes no sense for was he doing
10:57
it as to mop why why did
10:59
the police not for it's so i totally hear your
11:01
point why did the police not for of
11:03
these protests wanted to the bono
11:05
saturday yeah i'm going to
11:07
happen i think that the police in
11:09
some cases did
11:11
in some cases didn't they were probably
11:13
a lot of police sympathizers they're probably
11:15
a lot of sympathizers in general as
11:17
there were a lot of people who are detractors are
11:20
getting the police have been using our policemen
11:22
were complicit the nature of a protest
11:24
and then you have people for young people against
11:27
the point is i think what's really clear
11:29
is justin trudeau first
11:33
basically said these people are racists
11:36
and besides this then he says
11:38
they just hold views that are just unacceptable
11:40
to me then and like a totalitarian
11:42
dictator invoked an emergency
11:45
measures act that allows him to do what he wants
11:48
that's a factor he painted himself
11:50
into a political corner and and try
11:52
to get successfully he gave himself
11:54
absolute power for some period of time the
11:57
real question i think is why should this be
11:59
allowed to the a democratic country the
12:01
democratic norms against people
12:03
that haven't done as far as i can tell
12:06
the threat of violent behavior
12:08
it hasn't been my you got any to and we're
12:10
is clear that the body of
12:12
the normal governing law hasn't been exhausted
12:15
yet meeting
12:17
the minute that these people were asked
12:19
to actually mcb ambassador bridge
12:22
they did you guys were canadians that's all
12:24
we do yes is also for nine but if
12:26
he has his ass the front of your ordinary human sacrifice
12:29
know you're right for know never tried talking to their
12:31
money why would try that's why when
12:33
asked trying to go see a with them instead
12:35
he demonize or mile that bad as
12:37
white supremacists or nazis and
12:39
even your confederate sir
12:41
which attorney will understand him a contract to canada
12:44
this is yet another example of that
12:46
dying death right in front of
12:48
us
12:48
the world playbook right we talked
12:51
about this last week i think it's related
12:53
to the san francisco board of ed recall
12:55
but now and national and probably even international
12:57
news narrator while the
12:59
the the reaction to rogan
13:02
the reaction to dave chappelle it's
13:04
all part and parcel of the scene where people
13:06
up and down the spectrum the
13:08
learned what the mechanism of action
13:11
is of this castle culture and they
13:13
don't fall for it any more try an
13:15
ammo there's ammo person that see both that escalated
13:18
because he's actually in the seat of power and that's
13:20
what i think people should be debating you mean shutting
13:22
down dissenting voices from a position of
13:24
power to speakers and see one never
13:26
really he went on the record any said
13:29
guys these views are unacceptable to me well
13:31
in a democratic society that is not hire years
13:34
yeah not your choice just and i mean you're not
13:36
going to be of use on all kinds of
13:38
topics all the time unacceptable
13:41
it's not the threshold of world war two world
13:43
war one in the us all to crisis you guys
13:45
think that there is a moment here that also
13:48
is a mile marker on the road towards
13:50
the state versus crypto given
13:53
the accent that were take hundred per cent coin
13:55
while it's because that seems to be like a big trend
13:57
it's going to play out over the next decade or two
13:59
there the ninety habitable crypto is
14:01
the threat to the state right and so you
14:04
know you're going to see services like this
14:06
that kind of you know hate while
14:08
it's that donate or illegal and you
14:10
know freebie this is one of the best point
14:12
humid
14:13
if you look at what they've done to bitcoin and
14:15
you look at what it's done from the cryptocurrency this
14:17
will do more than mcdonalds accepting bitcoin
14:20
because this is the first time like a western
14:22
democratic state is seizing people's funds
14:24
like in an incredibly unfair unnecessary
14:27
way which is just going to have more
14:29
people say you know what maybe i should keep some of my net worth
14:31
out of the government's purview
14:33
of they're going to see that anyway and then are people going
14:35
to start looking into the coins that allow
14:38
people to conflate having
14:40
his enemy with having a different
14:42
view
14:43
one hundred hours the same thing having an enemy
14:45
is a serious deal right what
14:47
is that domestic or international
14:50
that's what we are to do in world war one
14:52
world war two in the fall to crisis this is just
14:54
somebody was a different opinion i don't agree
14:56
math mandate is what one person says i
14:59
want a mask mandate is what the other person says
15:02
the idea that you can be platform one or
15:04
the other or fire them from their job
15:06
or prevent them from having access to the money
15:08
that they earn or preventing other people
15:10
from donating money really
15:13
i'm it's a really low bar and i think
15:15
when you normalize is kind of behavior it's
15:18
a very slippery slope and so if if
15:20
somebody else were to do it they now have
15:22
like it's again going back to his fans during
15:25
your sort of philosophical discussion from
15:27
last week the thing about
15:30
you know about the stoning ritual right that sacks
15:32
talked about the we talked about
15:34
last week one of the things that really your talks about
15:36
his you always
15:42
the first person that throws
15:44
the sound right that's how jesus with able to defuse
15:46
that add that incident as described in the
15:48
book of john's but in a different examples
15:51
the first person that throws a stone all of
15:53
a sudden normalized to sit for everybody else
15:55
after them in that be stony become commonplace
15:57
er became commonplace the the
16:00
effect if you're getting democratic person
16:02
who just decides this doesn't work for you you
16:05
can flip the script and
16:07
and basically remove everybody's
16:09
democratic rights that's really
16:12
really that you had a closing point ones
16:14
well okay to solve this point about bitcoin that
16:17
the reason why bitcoin is necessary
16:19
as because the tactics or trudeau is using is
16:21
essentially a star of these truckers out
16:24
the normally the easily arrest
16:26
them and but these also taking away
16:28
their insurance licenses you basically
16:30
preventing them from ever working again he's talked
16:32
about that where to put your criminal records from make
16:35
it hard to to get a job and most importantly
16:37
on top of that these preventing anyone
16:39
from helping them by contributing to them by
16:41
making a donation series of a
16:43
saucy starving these guys out and
16:46
that's the reason why bitcoins complete helpful
16:48
is allows people using non custodial
16:51
laws to make an end run around
16:53
and donate and help these these
16:55
people who are being persecuted essentially
16:57
i mean he could have just simply
17:00
chosen to do what sachs is favored president
17:02
obama did with occupy wall street would
17:04
you say
17:05
great you have something you want to voice here's where
17:07
you can do it
17:09
you know no guns no violence but we let
17:11
how long did occupy wallstreet
17:13
last in downtown wall street and
17:15
in oakland in other places like a year or two
17:17
then you just wait them out of than and that's it i think
17:19
when you encounter as sincere protest movement
17:22
the first the you should do as leaders actually listen
17:24
and try to understand what is that they're protesting
17:26
on behalf of and trudeau never do that
17:29
he went straight to up to eleven with us
17:31
and i think part of the reason why america you ask
17:33
what why why is it that that
17:36
you know with the is or seems to be a comment
17:38
on mater with this and with ukraine
17:40
issue that the leaders are amelie escalating
17:43
these situations of looking for ways to
17:45
the escalated and they're doing it with
17:47
the media again them on and so
17:50
as as horses trios rhetoric has been
17:52
the media's rhetoric around this has been even
17:54
worse you have this cnn contributor
17:56
juliet korea is also harvard professor
18:00
basically tweeted that trudeau
18:03
scotch needed for slashed the tires
18:05
empty the gas tanks arrest to drivers
18:07
you know mickey unclear how you never get the trucks
18:10
off the bridge or because she said cancel
18:12
their insurance spend the driver's license for
18:14
you but any future regulatory verification
18:17
she says trust me i will not rather ways
18:19
to make this hurts you know is
18:21
you out of the media sharing this
18:23
on egging on trudeau you're
18:26
doing the same thing being the drums of war in
18:28
ukraine what is wrong with these
18:30
people
18:31
the escalate and where's the off ramp or
18:33
the biggest the biggest story is this
18:36
the bitcoin thing because you
18:38
know you guys think about like three
18:40
nineteen sixties like capital
18:43
wasn't digitized it was like physical like
18:45
your own like a stock certificate
18:47
or cas or gold for bearer
18:49
bonds
18:51
today everything is the july for i like was
18:53
a dismal record of you know who owns what stockton
18:56
who how much as in your bank account and none
18:58
of it is tied to your having a physical assets
19:01
and or ultimately the law was
19:03
able to reach into the digital systems and
19:05
have greater the
19:07
oversize and ultimately control
19:10
you know over accounts and so on and it's had a
19:12
you know the digitization of of capital asset
19:14
has had an incredible the ability to drive
19:16
economic growth and investment and either transaction
19:19
but it's also significantly increase the centralization
19:23
of asset of or the central influence
19:25
over assets
19:26
bitcoin seems to be the resolutions to that
19:28
and now you're seeing the ultimate
19:31
challenge the bitcoin and the challenge
19:33
to decentralized system like bitcoin and
19:35
crypto currencies and so on i don't wanna see the
19:37
get agree to any one
19:39
there seems to be like this trend line over the last
19:41
sixty years that now being salads because
19:44
you can have your accounts frozen any moment
19:46
i'm you know for breaking the law or because
19:49
emergency actor are induced
19:51
and i think you're right a probably going to accelerate interest
19:53
in the kind of
19:54
the government chain if
19:57
creates a lot remember to anyone
20:00
nobody can do and they're doing it in china right
20:02
and their eyes out of the general
20:04
one is the point of individual you on is like
20:06
this incredible pointers it's like absolute
20:09
centralization of every capital asset here's
20:11
where it is nearing a think about dangerous the
20:13
digital he won his the minute you say something that
20:15
zz thing doesn't like it's it's it's a stroke
20:18
of a keyboard keys and all your assets
20:20
are all your assets are locked away this is a
20:22
database century and you just basically reroute
20:24
who belong who lost for and he could be
20:26
it could happen in america it's a not california
20:28
now wants have a wealth tax
20:30
anybody who's got money i would just going to take your
20:32
money as you guys we automatically think
20:34
we sound like a right wing politics show at this
20:36
point this isn't a
20:38
right wing politics thing i mean does i think i think that
20:40
we have so jumped the shark there are things that are happening
20:43
today everyday
20:45
that you know if you had said in isolation two
20:47
or three years ago with any of these things ever happen
20:49
we all would have just looked at each other and said it's
20:51
impossible that these things could happen in but
20:54
the problem is for two years
20:56
of a pandemic any we have
20:58
led a lot of our civil liberties decay
21:00
right under our nose we're not
21:02
willing to fight for it because it's become to
21:04
tribal at the end rights have been
21:07
politicized so the idea of having rights
21:09
you know and and like for your rights
21:12
all of a sudden has to be a decision between whether
21:14
you're left or right
21:15
that's crazy i don't think that liberties
21:17
in a sense of government oversight have
21:19
decayed as as in addition
21:22
to that liberty
21:24
than the sense of of a social setting have
21:26
the kid you know we because of cancel
21:28
culture of we've normalized the ability
21:31
violence minority or dissenting voices
21:34
and it is both in the private enterprise setting as
21:36
well as in the public setting then
21:39
it some you know i
21:41
don't know i i don't consider myself a right
21:43
wing conservative person by any stretch
21:46
but i do consider myself a person who believes
21:49
in individual freedom and liberty that called an
21:51
american by the way i see and is basically being
21:53
an american and i think
21:54
it's as we move on to this a recall
21:57
and services guiding that's really
21:59
good point
22:00
what are our political leaders doing here are they trying
22:02
to stir the pot and antagonize these situations
22:04
if you look
22:06
you know clinton obama a
22:08
lot of people previously were trying to defuse
22:10
the situation said and right and seems
22:12
to be stirring the pot
22:13
justin trudeau and then if you look at
22:15
trump would blm eat out or any immigration
22:17
stuff he never sat down and met with a many
22:20
in the arguably antagonize them so
22:22
i think there's a perfect segue into what happened
22:26
the uterus we didn't we should expect a little more from a political
22:29
leaders great points from sachs is part of
22:31
something incredible you know from from the own
22:33
against his blm folks that admit
22:35
i did he try to shut pink accounts and
22:37
take their money away not the trudeau said
22:39
veto i did this is not even
22:41
near in the scale of be alone the hotel
22:44
or authoritarian now i'm is clearly if you're objectively
22:46
it's for down the scissors subvert the scary authoritarianism
22:49
as we talked about in previous pods tends to come
22:51
from the law
22:53
that meet the right you see comments i
22:55
just want to risk it's veiled under moral virtue signaling
22:57
that rise of overseas ammonia
22:59
they claimed they claimed to be the defenders
23:01
of the working class while
23:04
they're actually prosecuting them
23:06
such an unforced error like
23:08
so damn he's gonna lose right track going to
23:10
lose if a d a was elected and
23:12
a police officer police chief or like at the san francisco
23:16
that said we're going to freeze the bank accounts
23:18
and
23:19
you know i'd die demobilize
23:22
the criminals that are ransacking our city
23:24
or or people story
23:26
would you support that
23:28
no not at certain aap
23:30
dot is an extra year so used to power
23:32
i'm in a law specifies what you're allowed to do
23:34
you been here for six years in an emergency situation
23:37
i mean would you support the mayor taking on emergency
23:40
authority to go and fix the problem which he defeated
23:42
by the way the tenderloin yeah but that doesn't
23:44
give her the power to go to
23:46
wells fargo and said a wells fargo
23:48
we want you to freeze all these accounts with no
23:50
due process of law
23:52
that's basically what trudeau he got not
23:55
be overreach that's the line you think is like go
23:57
and see you should have to go through a court proceedings
24:00
the police on a cat period
24:02
so research data the law
24:04
allows you to do this now it's called rita
24:07
so you follow the due process of
24:09
the law and you can do all those things
24:11
free bird that that that you just mentioned if
24:13
you want to freeze somebody's bank account right
24:15
that we do that the government has he been
24:17
would he do that they don't need to pass this
24:20
basically get out of feel free card to do
24:22
whatever you want without any oversight integer
24:25
much born earlier have you exhausted
24:27
the regular law here are three when i
24:29
was example the regular like haven't even tried
24:31
disputed by the center on five bucks
24:33
on he doesn't go away from your
24:36
and meanwhile they're all the provinces are encoded
24:38
mandates anyways this whole issue is moot
24:41
so dumb it's this is like the stupidest
24:43
behavior at the end of a pandemic than we've
24:45
ever seen yara to george lucas
24:47
were getting it right i mean if you look the
24:50
theme of star wars it was like oh i just eat emergency
24:52
powers for a minute because of a trade federation
24:55
blockade and here was a crisis
24:57
of faith crisis yet i wasn't yours will get
24:59
finally i mean that goes back to the rather
25:02
run and but and movement that right like
25:04
yeah that was like was mission of the empire
25:06
caesar got caesar got emergency authority mean
25:08
this mean this tried and true and the poll nicholas
25:10
or they're actually ryan the polls show that
25:13
the most of the public and canada's applauding
25:16
there was a large and democracy die so applause
25:19
that deadline that was bad may line
25:21
and in the service homes or right direction
25:23
while the prequels a three members of san
25:25
francisco's board of education where we were the worst
25:28
is to be quick the got and
25:30
not compared to the of the three is
25:32
huge dumps that disney talk on the
25:34
our childhoods with the sequels three
25:37
members of the san francisco board of education recall this
25:39
week massively
25:41
they lost by between seventy
25:43
two percent and seventy nine
25:46
percent these were the
25:48
virtue signaling maniacs who wanted to
25:50
change the names of all the schools wouldn't reopen
25:52
the schools yada yada and
25:54
this really frustrated and they
25:56
wanted to get rid of the lead a p
25:59
classes
26:00
all of this a decent they do they
26:02
did yeah i'm and
26:04
the free board members raza london
26:06
breed them as he suggests it has to
26:08
be clear in the middle of a pandemic i think my understanding
26:11
is that
26:12
instead of figuring out how to get these kids
26:14
back in class how to figure out how they
26:16
could take off their masks they
26:18
wanted to drop abraham lincoln in george
26:20
washington's name from schools and it was it
26:23
was too aggressive they
26:25
cancelled the gifted program because it made
26:27
other kids feel bad and a
26:29
gentleman that wanted to serve on a committee
26:32
the i think was gay but not minority was
26:35
excluded because the wasn't
26:37
a minority you
26:40
know for them the will be to
26:42
the three people that thought seventy six
26:44
percent of san francisco citizens or
26:46
residents just a recall
26:48
and if you're not following miss the tech industry
26:51
add a major part mess in terms of backing
26:53
it there was a lot of claims which all at saks
26:55
address in a moment that this was
26:57
a republican driven out of state
27:00
movement but if you look
27:02
there are not one hundred soon republic city
27:04
san francisco not like we're
27:06
it was actually our parents
27:08
a lot of cases based on the geography
27:11
of san francisco the density of certain populations
27:14
a lot of asian americans came out in force in
27:16
some neighborhoods ninety percent were
27:18
voting to oust these people are gary
27:20
tan who is a product of
27:22
the san francisco public education system and agree
27:25
the perimeter capitalist was
27:27
the leader in this movements or congratulations to
27:29
him and this always going to culminate to culminate
27:32
in may or june sasso correct me with
27:34
the recall effort for it's
27:37
just a booty in this killer da
27:39
who would prosecute anybody sacks where are your thoughts
27:41
on this victory and full disclosure you are
27:43
a major donor to this as a second largest donor
27:45
and i was the largest donor under age ninety
27:48
or the rock was the biggest donor what about us by
27:50
the way the guys ninety five years old he donated to four
27:52
thousand dollars to the side recall
27:55
the are you in fairness you
27:57
live in san francisco this francisco a backdoor issue
27:59
for yeah
28:00
hero yeah yeah look i think crime and
28:02
schools are the key quality of
28:04
life issues in any community and
28:06
that transcends partisan boundaries
28:08
if your kids can argue the quality education
28:11
and you cannot be safe in your community nothing
28:13
else matters an amateur said democrats
28:15
as much as republicans and
28:17
that's why like you said three courses or cisco
28:20
voted for this recall even though eighty five so
28:22
the motive for bidens not pc
28:24
and ninety percent democrats city so you
28:27
know all these claims i was a republican recall
28:29
turn out to be nonsense this was something that was
28:31
broadly supported the and
28:33
calm and you know look at the same
28:35
reason that young can slip hey
28:38
ya plus ten democrats stayed in
28:40
virginia which is that
28:43
you know it out a lot to do with school closures
28:45
like of the schools closed for the you're
28:47
an hour a and then when they were
28:49
supposed to have currency a p t
28:51
meeting about reopening it like to
28:53
moscow said they spent five hours to be
28:56
whether to allow this beloved gay
28:58
parent onto a voluntary school board
29:00
they didn't this when all the time you're
29:02
talking about changing the names of the schools and somehow
29:04
to reopen that they also there's comic
29:06
mismanagement i mean the schools something like hundred
29:08
forty five million dollars in debt despite
29:11
being in a very rich can see the
29:13
open for one day as right as soon as
29:15
they could get a state piece of the
29:17
state budget pie
29:19
these kids clamored back to school
29:21
to so that they get leaked technically say yeah we
29:23
were open and to get i think it was
29:25
over thirty million dollar check and and they shut the schools
29:28
down again
29:29
you probably boy jason which is that the asian
29:31
american community of sources good but actually
29:33
galvanize by this issue because the school
29:36
board also your local high schools
29:38
were the best schools in the city and it was merit base
29:40
and add great advance math programs
29:42
and this this board basically got rid of
29:44
all that stuff and then infuriated
29:47
the asian american community many of whose
29:49
most prominent members have basically really
29:51
risen out of poverty because of
29:53
the education they got a law i'm
29:55
so this war on merit that's happening
29:58
the is something that you're going to
30:01
flip erasing american
30:04
community i think tonight
30:07
when i was growing up i grew up in
30:09
a french ghetto bottle
30:10
then
30:13
i was supposed to go to local
30:15
high school that was just plainly
30:17
trash i was
30:20
able to go to an equivalent of low as
30:22
a public magnet high school that had
30:25
the advanced classes in everything
30:27
the gifted program and
30:30
it really did change my life and so
30:32
i really understand what people are saying which is
30:35
like when you're in poverty the
30:37
only way out is through an education really
30:40
you make you know get accidently lucky but
30:42
the only really predictable sustainable pattern
30:45
here the is to school and
30:47
so when you deprive for
30:49
be able to get a decent education then
30:52
there's no real hero orderly logic
30:54
to it it's really the taking
30:56
kind of an idea the other thing is i think
30:58
that the speak very powerfully
31:01
they said had a non as a bipartisan
31:04
issue that these democrats have to get right because
31:06
you know you saw this also in virginia
31:10
where democrats basically
31:12
went down this one cat
31:14
then you know the republican candidate
31:16
fine young can basically said he was
31:18
in the schools are broken it's completely doesn't
31:20
make any sense we oppose a
31:22
lot of what's going on the watering down and the critical
31:25
race theory etc etc any put it to a vote
31:27
then a lot of people cross the aisle there
31:29
as well were typically ardent
31:31
democrats basically voted for the republican governor
31:34
the point is that there are just several
31:37
issues that are just so transcend
31:40
like they're to say transcend all party lines
31:42
and this is an anchor issue
31:44
that we have to get right freiburg any thoughts
31:46
on this you think this is the start
31:49
of
31:50
maybe a turn around for san francisco
31:52
cause just a boon is
31:54
the way more heated and cp
31:56
as an even bigger issue i think for a lot of people
31:58
right now in san francisco and
32:01
it dovetails with season hate and the
32:03
number of asian people targeted in
32:05
crimes so he's got a repeat
32:07
of these people got api seventy five percent on average
32:09
he's gonna be up i ninety five percent is
32:11
this a tipping point a separatists gonna gonna make a return
32:14
on military the i think there's generally a broader
32:19
grand and momentum around
32:21
what we classify as woke them which
32:23
i think is a little bit discouraging the
32:26
intention of those are
32:28
jumpers and recognizing the
32:31
the primary point of social justice the
32:33
room action and behavior
32:35
the in civic discourse and
32:38
and government behavior
32:39
the end of this like the election
32:42
, several da's
32:45
around the country who take who
32:47
staff the prosecution of crime to try
32:49
and create better options for rehab and and
32:52
and so on
32:53
i think is not a movement that gonna go away
32:55
overnight i think they're certainly there as
32:57
as as as the amount of resistance
33:00
but what we're really doing right now is i think
33:02
we're learning and realizing the boundaries
33:04
this movement and of this moment
33:07
the one boundary that i think they're franciscans
33:10
are too bad it's infancy so what you
33:12
know it doesn't the case in tech and always been no
33:14
progressive in terms of you know doing the
33:17
things faster than than anyone else
33:19
the what we're realizing san francisco is not
33:21
prosecution of criminals as
33:23
the da has undertaken over the past couple of
33:25
years leads to really heinous
33:27
crime and rampant crime
33:30
the and arm and and and is kind
33:32
of social justice movement within the education
33:34
system causes a decline in the value
33:36
of our education system so they're to really
33:38
important learning the san francisco has
33:41
had over the past couple of years with it's
33:43
very important the
33:45
a momentous kind of social justice movement
33:47
it doesn't mean that the movement is
33:49
over it doesn't mean the quote unquote what isn't as
33:51
over it means that that social justice
33:53
intend to still there but we're realizing
33:55
where the boundaries are and how far things can and eighty
33:57
said gop opposed to this article
34:00
they had a common who serves you
34:02
know pretty well known economists he wrote this or that
34:04
said that for our bloomberg and
34:06
what he said his and walk isn't has pete
34:09
and there's a cease to passages that the
34:11
bills on what free burke said
34:13
the quote my work is i'm i refer to
34:15
a movement that on the positive side a savvy
34:17
aware of racism in social injustice
34:20
the galvanize towards raising awareness
34:22
on the negative side it can be preachy
34:25
alienating overly concerned with symbols
34:28
and self righteous unquote and
34:30
i think that probably does summarize
34:32
sort of like where it starts which is i think rooted
34:34
in a very good place unfortunately
34:37
all too often where it ends which is
34:39
that sort of moral absolute
34:41
his judgment cancel culture
34:43
around and then the second
34:45
quote he said with the following
34:47
is a quote workers and is likely to
34:49
a waltz into a subculture highly
34:52
educated highly wife and
34:54
fairly feminine that is still
34:56
a large mass of people at not enough
34:58
to run the country or all it's major institutions
35:01
in the san francisco school board recall for
35:03
instance the role of asian americans especially
35:06
prominent unquote so i don't know
35:08
anything all
35:11
these things sort of people
35:13
are looking for affiliation then you
35:15
start with labels that bring you and and then you
35:17
have to sort out are
35:19
all these labels really true and how to are
35:21
they and i think we're in this moment now where
35:24
we know the mechanism of action of autism of
35:26
autism don't think it works anymore and i bet a lot of people
35:29
will say i believe in the high order of deals
35:31
of racial and social justice but i don't believe
35:33
in the mechanism of action and so the pendulum swung
35:35
too far but but but
35:37
but the core intent of a generation of change
35:40
of underwear which is social justice
35:42
and climate change i think those are the too big
35:44
a point the beaches are going to be done with this cohort
35:47
under this well it will be done to this extreme
35:49
this fast right and and i think
35:51
that the pendulum went too fast
35:53
the bar arm and a some
35:55
and and they're they're a boundary of fact that are causing
35:58
recourse right now and we'll we'll see
36:00
across the country especially in new york with us
36:02
election of the mayor of san francisco that the
36:04
da recalls happening in the next couple months
36:07
what's your prediction under the a recall by the way or that
36:09
ninety five percent but i mean it it is to build on your point
36:12
the return of a ten percent of the people
36:14
in the united states were involved in this
36:16
retreating and virtue signaling
36:18
and his twitter a real place well
36:20
no a cities a real place people have to live
36:23
in san francisco we need ideology
36:25
is resulted the unlivable
36:27
conditions for people the
36:29
they're gonna say you know what it does reality
36:31
here will how do we get competent people
36:34
the take the positions sachs that
36:36
are being vacated now who should blended
36:39
breed put in the three positions maybe
36:42
tech people need this i mean this is what i think has to happen
36:44
i think some number of tech people have to get off
36:46
the bench
36:47
and her you know what i'm going to do a tour of duty as
36:50
politicians in san francisco to
36:53
to take back the city what should happen here
36:55
in terms of who takes these positions as republicans
36:57
can't win in san francisco see gonna need moderate democrats
37:00
right tackle football for sex go try to say something
37:02
or into the the i just decided for the vortex
37:04
i'm sorry to bother about yeah
37:07
i did the point you're making about the
37:09
tech people implies the tech people
37:11
are effective instead of doing this that
37:13
not necessarily the fabric of san francisco
37:15
i was in san francisco since two thousand and one
37:18
the number of people in san francisco in two thousand and one
37:20
there were in the tech industry was a minority young
37:22
set time it became a significant size
37:24
and over the last two years since the pandemic it's decrease
37:27
in effingham lights but the of francisco the city
37:29
with decades and generations of history my
37:31
wife's family is multi generational
37:33
san franciscan and i don't think that
37:35
traditionally san franciscans view
37:37
of the people as the want people to
37:39
solve these problems for them that's the
37:41
intention of that city is not necessarily about
37:44
must attack people to solve our problems they have
37:46
a different set of values perhaps arm
37:48
and so we often overstate and assume attack
37:50
people are the right people and our this
37:52
this the problem solvers but i don't think
37:55
that that's necessarily the right problems if people
37:57
want us all sizes i wanted to intervene and emotional
37:59
take these position because right people they can
38:01
only ask i'm really far less people
38:03
are motivated to take these positions i don't see
38:06
business people writ large across all
38:08
political position by specific
38:10
every system don't want to take his position so is this
38:12
just gonna be replayed sex
38:15
the recall ever was led by two parents
38:17
autumn lose and and see mirage they're the
38:19
ones who are the same they're the ones who rose
38:21
up to basically oppose these crazy
38:24
school board members
38:25
yeah that is your london bridge to talk to
38:27
or me she needs to go talk to the people who are successful
38:30
than organizing this recall because they
38:32
understand the issues obviously and the
38:34
people or with them so either a point
38:36
them to the board or ask them for the recommendations
38:39
and i think what you see consistently whether it's
38:42
with his ss school board
38:44
or the or the the school boards
38:46
that we saw in virginia the young can
38:48
be very effectively ran against isn't
38:50
they don't believe the parents matter story
38:53
mccollough sprayed all that his last
38:55
job was basically saying that the parents
38:57
should get to decide what is taught in schools
39:00
he bases are the choir part out loud but
39:02
that is what still across the country
39:04
the teachers unions believe and most the
39:06
democratic party the activists believe and
39:09
until they start losing elections you're
39:11
not going to see a change in that alley
39:14
oh my god how often would be a factor on the scoreboard oh
39:17
my god
39:18
yeah ah and just to
39:20
put a pin a mess and the cherry
39:22
on top
39:23
there francisco board of supervisors voted
39:26
seventy four
39:27
that a recall reform bill so
39:29
their reaction to all of this is to do
39:32
a recall of recalls
39:34
and say now you got
39:36
can't recall somebody in their first year and a people
39:39
who are place in these positions can't run against
39:41
are now the speculation is that three people that voted
39:43
off
39:43
we're gonna run again so there's a
39:46
lot more to come on the at iso purports
39:48
so they've been putting just to decide that they're
39:50
putting that on the ballot on june
39:52
seventh the same day that we vote on the recall
39:54
of to be deal of are summarized now put in
39:56
this measure that would make it far
39:59
recall people one the provisions of that is
40:01
wherever london breed of choice
40:03
as the successor like you're talking about they
40:06
cannot run after that so
40:09
it is designed to pay for know that makes no
40:11
sense their basic dropping you a great job right
40:13
exactly it makes no sense so
40:15
you have the board of supervisors trying to throw a wrench
40:18
into the democratic process meanwhile these
40:20
are people who claim to be preserving democracy
40:22
saving democracy barracks on the door wrench
40:25
in there is an underlying
40:27
a david as they think they know better
40:30
i put a fundamentally comes out who they are willing
40:32
to have democracy up to par the
40:35
that point is an unacceptable view by somebody
40:37
else they feel like they know better they're
40:40
going to be really the tony in
40:42
in whatever they do to decide yeah
40:45
shoutout to my bloomberg a pull up the
40:47
the tweet for everybody
40:50
the hasn't been very vocal or been on the stage
40:52
much but obviously did a great job in new york
40:54
on reforming schools the san francisco
40:56
school board recall should be a
40:59
wake up call to elected officials especially
41:01
democrats across the nation parents are fed
41:03
up with the status quo and i put adults
41:06
that puts adults to had kids
41:08
one ideology ahead of results while
41:10
said mike we are well said mr bloomberg
41:13
yes that was very good and bloomberg has been
41:15
very good on calling out the democrat
41:17
their dog i parties blind loyalty to
41:19
the teachers union stand until they're
41:22
willing to break with the teachers unions
41:24
who are their biggest donor were knocking at any
41:26
real progress on school reform
41:28
yeah this is he is your mother a global com
41:30
tier one of them as roy to sheriff is a democrat
41:33
he wrote the emerging democratic majority he
41:35
wrote a blog post talking about
41:37
how these salaries american voters are going to sway
41:40
away from iraq with democratic party because
41:42
of issues like this because of to the conservatives
41:44
in school and safety and and
41:47
asia much money i think is galvanize on the streets
41:49
beauty issue because they have seen in
41:52
all these cases of asian the age
41:54
where elders in their community have been violently
41:56
assaulted she's moody and has done nothing
41:58
it's release
42:00
the perpetrator rancorous i wanna see
42:02
this as seems like a good turning point let let
42:04
some we talked about on this podcast
42:06
over and over again
42:07
that the compression in sas multiples
42:10
in the public market valuations
42:12
as something that we're still working through in
42:14
the stock market which has been shopping
42:16
at fast over the last couple of months when
42:19
information story came out i just this week
42:21
major cross over funds like tiger indie want
42:23
are slowing down their investment
42:25
and makes a private companies and i was starting to
42:27
some folks the said the multiple compression
42:30
is here now they're not doing the deals
42:32
at seventy five or one hundred acts revenue
42:35
this is reported i in an article by the information
42:37
tiger global told their l peas in a
42:39
webinar earlier this month that
42:41
it would no longer focus on back the
42:43
each stage startups preparing to go public
42:45
instead they will focus on to things
42:47
going even earlier decisions haynes there
42:50
is be rounds and buying shares a public
42:52
tech companies that have sunk in value
42:54
compared to the all time highs
42:56
a obviously know tele zoom block all
42:59
down over sixty per cent from their one
43:01
your hiv i could get into more details here but
43:03
lets stop for second and chemo what are your thoughts in
43:05
a the from ball
43:09
somewhere between three to five years for
43:11
most stocks the bottom they
43:13
bought and i think peak to trough summer
43:17
in only words eighty percent of
43:19
where they were in two thousand and rights
43:21
of it took three to five years to
43:23
go basically minus eighty percent we
43:26
did that in three months maybe
43:29
four months feel that
43:31
the markets have become a lot more efficient
43:34
overtime
43:35
though now that we have our reset
43:37
it's pretty natural that they're saying to be a very quick
43:40
reset on the private market size
43:42
then he know you have to go where the bodies
43:45
are buried and what i mean by that in this case
43:47
is overwhelming
43:49
miss valuation of late stage
43:52
private companies these
43:54
folks don't have much of a choice they have a
43:56
lot of money the boy
43:59
the for the happen
44:01
the have a huge portfolio stuff that they've
44:03
marked up or have been marked up by others
44:08
they don't wanna go through the pain now resetting
44:10
so part of the easy strategic
44:12
decision there is to say you know what we
44:15
know this is a little bit radioactive but
44:17
instead of really figuring out what the mark
44:20
on these companies are will go to
44:22
a different sort of part of the the
44:25
ground and play there we
44:27
don't have to go and deal with these issues and
44:30
you know what we can do ten fifteen twenty million
44:32
dollar checks it early stage businesses pretty
44:34
normal reaction strategically i
44:37
think the reality is that at some point in the next
44:39
year or two these other companies
44:42
have to get public the hope is that the market
44:44
couches backup the that you can
44:46
defend the last valuation
44:48
and that's the that's the way that this stuff doesn't
44:50
require a lot of pain the
44:52
problem is if your hybrid the
44:55
new are counting on yet another success around
44:57
or
44:59
you're at a point in your life cycle where you need to go public
45:01
in the next two years if you go public you
45:04
will get taken to the woodshed
45:06
you know which are being your valuation my behalf
45:08
of what it is in your last round so there's going to be
45:10
medicine that has to be taken sacks they'll
45:12
be medicine some people don't have to take some medicine
45:14
sex which are best advice being one of the great
45:16
operators in the history of silicon
45:18
valley as ceo pay between terminal
45:22
i'm fairly sure i mean i think this
45:24
i think everybody agree the top four people can correct
45:26
me here the amount of operator
45:31
i mean i i saw what you did i c q many
45:33
were right enough that bad boy down i was delivered
45:35
a billion fucking users to accompany okay
45:37
or diseases
45:39
he did pretty good a face but i say that but if i
45:41
would think most people would say sacks cheryl
45:44
can call
45:45
the to boy the put that aside for the debate
45:47
in terms of operating system a little
45:49
dark spicy bbq pork it can
45:51
be can put you in the top twenty five to masses once
45:54
again but i mean it wasn't for providing troops
45:56
into reality
46:00
gimme a drama medical bring me to do your
46:02
dog people are orbit stepping
46:05
through who are your top four cheryl i found
46:07
my for in this order i'll give it an order
46:09
so basically for white people when
46:13
one other asian and indian ceos
46:16
run most of the tech companies and some talking about
46:18
number to seal i was not see us this
46:21
for the see opposition to be clear i'm not i can see
46:23
on tennessee oh i would say temple
46:26
when he was steve jobs that's my
46:28
number one operator less than it or years number
46:30
two up with sheryl sandberg
46:32
who did obviously amazing things for google
46:34
and then facebook
46:35
those who would be my top two and then i try
46:37
my top two sacks ah
46:40
as a paper
46:42
and then if it's even a gym workout who stole
46:44
a great run at the time and then i put
46:46
you through boy square and
46:49
a couple of other companies he did those are my top
46:51
for anybody else want to come at me glad i don't have
46:54
completes dataset on c o o's what we
46:56
would you put sachs but
46:58
then i put your mind disagree
47:00
that might a decent a
47:02
, and rural and was a key that was linked in
47:04
it it an orderly or jericho
47:06
or homelessness nathanael
47:09
saga their
47:11
back together using why does the summer
47:13
of view and fried burger
47:15
at each other's throats saw just like you guys fight
47:18
it out and i'll be all about blood the after
47:20
uber why you're talking shit gulf he has
47:22
talking shit with the soil over there north
47:24
ossetia in your lane free birth says acts
47:26
as an operator extraordinary what's your
47:28
best advice to the company had a race
47:31
one hundred million on let's say the valuations now
47:33
not a billion it's five hundred million what are the
47:35
steps you take enough fourteen months of runway and
47:37
the bank the away people are i do
47:39
extended to twenty four what are your thoughts dog
47:41
must be dealing with this with companies in your phone
47:44
the one is a few things going on for size a tiger
47:46
built a great business and provide
47:48
a late stage sort of passes
47:51
and on delete of capital the two
47:53
companies us companies we have a bunch of dogs
47:57
they provided winter seats financing the
48:00
the directions you're a calm down i don't know
48:02
that they're going to be such a great partner for series a firm's
48:04
because they are possible
48:06
yeah we see is a series a companies
48:08
need a lot of help they need a lot of advising
48:10
a lot of help with recruiting governor governance
48:13
they need you know when they're growing from say
48:15
twenty employees to one hundred and you know what that org
48:17
chart looks like and on and on and on so
48:19
i don't know that if if this report
48:22
i dunno if this reporting is actually true
48:24
if the goal is all this on for tired become a
48:26
series i invested like competes with crafter
48:29
sequoia these other firms there's not
48:31
really hands on that it doesn't seem
48:33
angry strategy the me i do think that
48:35
for our later stage companies they have to realize
48:38
that you know they raised the
48:40
other side of the sorry david i saw your
48:42
reactions i think it's
48:44
gonna work the not for the right reason
48:47
the reader to work is there are way more
48:49
entrepreneurs now than there are
48:51
great entrepreneurs
48:54
so of all of these entrepreneurs that exist
48:57
the idea of getting passes money
49:00
where you won't get fired where
49:02
there is that remember like member when we were growing
49:04
up in silicon valley the risk is always like
49:06
if you take sequoia benchmarks
49:09
you know social got blisters
49:11
on high bar for that capital which means
49:13
we're helping you run this business effectively
49:15
and there's a place where you don't perform
49:18
you'll get fired there's always been that risk
49:20
is true and i guess that's the argument they could
49:22
make and flipside is that there's a lot of easy is
49:24
so that ceo now
49:26
why would you take a fifteen million dollars series paycheck
49:29
from somewhere where they could fire you were fifteen
49:31
million dollars from tiger they may never call you
49:33
we we we address off by drink lucky enough
49:35
to owners really worried about that we address up
49:38
i give me three board seats you know we might
49:40
have one them out of three
49:42
i mean my view on his use never fire
49:44
a foreigner was a dos or incremental which is that
49:46
simple right so
49:48
what i think there's ways of addressing the governance
49:51
were a you can get the
49:53
help or the value out of an early-stage from without
49:55
give me up the control though
49:58
yeah i mean but despotism i would make but
50:00
i think that's addressable
50:02
what do you think about pitch free berg i will give
50:04
you the fifteen million dollar series a you
50:07
don't have to have a board you are getting justice
50:09
be passive and a let us know how
50:11
it goes give us a quarterly report will look at the piano
50:13
that is all of the crypto now anyways that's
50:16
true i mean that's a fair point no governance and
50:18
crypto was leading to a lot of weird stuff i can
50:20
tell you i tell people this is a lot so i had
50:22
a three term sheets for my theory be
50:24
a it was from andreessen horowitz coastal
50:27
adventures and foundered sign and found refunded
50:29
or came in kind of last minute
50:32
by i went with cosla or
50:34
even though the lower valuation because the node with
50:36
pretty insistent like let me put someone
50:38
it could be used for them you know government
50:41
percent is were doing a lot of work lobbying and in
50:43
a disease on your board we
50:45
won't be on your board we will bother you and i took the round
50:47
and in my series see i took from saturday find tickets
50:49
brine sentiments who's obviously the friend
50:53
you know made the case like look out our
50:55
model a sounder thunders we must address on the
50:57
business we're not here to tell you how to run your business
50:59
and they were both crisis and it worked out
51:01
well i didn't i had
51:03
i have had experience with antagonistic
51:06
ccs on board there are
51:08
you know generally create the pretty negative dynamic now
51:10
when i don't know where story without the person's
51:12
then i don't think i want to go public with it some
51:14
i could do that i'm but when i was on give
51:16
us an idea of what the behavior would be there are
51:18
people naughty to want to know what is bad behavior of
51:20
you see just give us a composite when you're an entrepreneur
51:23
or see a running an early stage business
51:25
you live that business twenty hours a day
51:27
you know the details if you're smart
51:30
your thorough your analytical your creative
51:32
there is no one is going to come in the boardroom for
51:34
two hours of quarter and suggesting
51:37
see you that you haven't thought of there's no one is that a common
51:39
the room and be smarter than you at your own business
51:42
so more often than not the nodes been exceptional
51:44
at the fighting the problem
51:46
the problem is the sees fit join a board
51:48
and they think that they have to quote add value
51:51
to the comment and to make a bunch of suggestions and
51:53
recommendations and push you to your boss or things
51:55
and as the node has said correctly many times
51:58
be more often than not add negative
52:00
are you say can actually destroyed damage
52:02
a business because they need to feel like
52:04
they're exerting some degree of influence over the business
52:06
and as a result they push the business to do think
52:08
that the c e o or sad or otherwise wouldn't be doing
52:11
and i often ends up in a kind of weird city
52:13
can apply finalizes holidays out a tiger
52:15
fits within i didn't have a bottle
52:17
is was founded on saturday for
52:19
the fantastic that as adults that
52:22
are a l p but their investment returns
52:24
are so far beyond what i think anyone really realize
52:26
that their credible investors
52:28
the big part of it as they try and find the entrepreneur
52:30
the doesn't want and doesn't need the help let
52:33
me give them the capital to go to execute and may lead
52:35
them to hack along and they are just so good
52:37
at finding those folks identifying them
52:39
and then literally being passive
52:41
and in in how they kind of manage an operator
52:43
business and that's why they are so friggin get
52:45
i think the people you're talking about are a lotta rookie
52:47
v sees who come in and then yeah they
52:50
they think the officer and i just experienced
52:52
sex operators even people who read this as saddam
52:54
hussein i know how to run a business and look no two
52:56
businesses are like so maybe the way they
52:58
ran their business with their team and their market
53:00
their industry worked well for them but now when
53:03
they gotta come in and do it was someone elses business and some
53:05
other space with i'm completely different
53:07
team
53:08
you know they're trying to exert influence and really it's just you
53:10
know not wanted let me go to sack sacks
53:12
hold on i want to just get one from you
53:15
give us an idea cause you been in the business for over twenty
53:17
years i'm in the
53:19
look at it made forty but twenty years had just
53:22
crushing in the business what's the worst behavior
53:24
you've seen on a board
53:27
you can make a composite of like a vc
53:29
to being disruptive on a board
53:31
yeah me luck i think is a nice receives
53:34
while sir bobby orr says about keep pushing
53:36
for saying superpower doesn't want that's
53:39
not productive
53:41
what what what i would say as for saw me
53:43
to say like i'm not somebody who
53:46
likes to take board seats and i
53:48
i do it as a if i see as
53:50
a cost not a benefit to me going
53:52
to take the my time if i do not ever take
53:54
a board seats or be a great over as i'm concerned
53:57
that be a good thing i'm not somebody who wants
53:59
to you insert myself and get
54:01
on these boards email offered as an incentive
54:03
know the only only to give
54:06
more details yet the only reason ever
54:08
to a boards used because i have to do it because the
54:10
founder insisted that i don't know if
54:12
i've seen with of and so is under angela
54:14
with for one year right you'll say i'll do it for a year
54:16
i always time limit it now because i just can't
54:19
i mean i can't make its and your obligation
54:21
you know it's typically like one or two years and
54:23
then you know we'll see doesn't mean i'll roll offered
54:25
in two years but the my buddies
54:28
are the expectation that are
54:30
here and in the reality is if the company
54:32
can perform well for another two years
54:35
will be a different stage and maybe them all
54:37
you need my help as much so tomorrow
54:39
the two most valuable the
54:42
to the private equity that i own the
54:45
company called dc and
54:48
if a company called nazca
54:50
collectively it's like billion dollars or the stop
54:52
and a on watch i'm on the board of
54:54
one i'm not on the border the other anymore
54:57
then i texted these guys maybe once
54:59
every two or three months at the
55:02
you know completely confirming david your point
55:05
that great sounders are just and of one individuals
55:08
you know barry silbert sandy
55:10
barry next level guys
55:12
that's
55:14
very different
55:16
then the the series a playbook because
55:18
when iran institutional money i'm telling you
55:20
there is a pressure to be involved and
55:23
show some value
55:25
and i do think that there's a level
55:27
of judgment on the ceo that
55:29
have happened know maybe that's change historically
55:32
i think that's the single biggest pivot that
55:34
one would explain if you are tiger
55:36
a coach you're the one stepping into
55:39
the early stage game financially
55:41
make a feature and it's not dissimilar
55:43
one tsp and yuri milner entered
55:46
the lazy drowned you know what was his big
55:48
differentiation a common
55:50
stock and it won't take a board seat
55:52
the not needed or to see to be influential
55:54
it seems so counterintuitive and so
55:57
against the grain that he acknowledged
56:00
what was the thing that up until
56:02
that point was true which is hominid
56:04
preferred converged in price per share
56:07
the buying calm and laid siege company
56:09
was the same and buying preferred your
56:12
that's something sexy planes as a term offer
56:14
second people don't know is that that and i know
56:16
what must admit so when you set up a company
56:19
you ever played for sure of the common sought and then
56:21
a price for sure that the series a investor house
56:24
he was they must resign preferred shares
56:26
that actually looks more like death than
56:29
equities and what i mean by that is there's typically
56:31
a coupon there's a rate of return there's
56:33
accumulated dividends all these
56:35
features give it a certain
56:38
price per share and the common has none of those
56:40
features and so it has alert every provisions
56:43
that gap is typically around
56:45
twenty to one when you set up a company okay
56:48
that it allows you to hire employees
56:50
and give them very very cheap options
56:52
with embedded upside then what
56:54
happens is you raise more and more the series
56:57
be series see theory the these preference
56:59
stack right prep preferred shares build
57:01
up the value the common keeps
57:03
rising to and by the time you go public the
57:05
gap converges
57:08
what uri realize was a wait a minute i'm
57:10
buying a company a year or eighteen
57:12
months before goes public the price of the common
57:14
in the price of the preferred are roughly the same i'm
57:17
just gonna veto do that in a marketing
57:20
a mercy because it's clear this companies successful
57:22
so similarly for tiger do you want
57:24
and so too
57:26
the just observe the obvious and kind of put
57:28
everything that we just sit on the table which is hey guys
57:30
are give you the money you're either and of one
57:32
or not
57:34
i'm making a guess that you are and i'm just going to coffee
57:36
or he leave you alone i never and governance
57:38
and advice on bundling the governance and advice
57:41
piece from the capital peace but you can still mean
57:43
that covered it's a device peace i think it worked
57:46
as it is a lot of great founders or their
57:48
or their you start young inexperienced become
57:50
great and the smart ones listen
57:52
to advice on the way and they would they seek out
57:54
people you've done it before and
57:56
though you know yes they may be an anna
57:59
one business
58:00
the gross stage for that doesn't mean they
58:02
don't need any help whatsoever at the series a stage
58:04
such a good observation and that lot i think this man
58:07
has been an evolution silicon valley of actually sinister
58:09
my three distinct phases in the bunch a couple
58:11
world am i remember all of her she go
58:13
back to the denied the late nineties
58:15
okay when near you out
58:18
this mentality on the part if he sees that
58:20
if a company became successful huge is automatically
58:22
replace the founders right you go brain special see
58:25
afraid that was his ouster okay
58:27
and and that's when strong response peter came
58:29
in i think founded thunderstorm
58:31
in two thousand and three and the reason they call it
58:33
a to understand that is to indicate they were going to be
58:35
profound or and they will never replace the
58:37
founder and they would let you do whatever you want
58:39
it and i think it's all the backstory
58:42
of the sean parker stuff and how that we yeah i
58:44
mean so basically both peter and
58:46
sean parker had you know
58:48
experiences they felt were very negative
58:50
with sequoia and and by the way i agree
58:53
relations specifically a roll-off through work with of the
58:55
paypal is there and i think dave of all
58:57
as a from so i'm not calling them out or
58:59
anything but the about those sean
59:01
parker and peter felt like sequoia
59:03
pushed out and replace so
59:06
when walk so specifically there
59:08
are couple different companies involved a good peter was see
59:11
you have up a foul as well that the
59:13
are you gonna be felt the pressure as well so
59:16
when they then sounded as to the for founding
59:18
partners a farmer some back in two thousand
59:20
and three the whole point was we're
59:22
going to be profound or your another place will
59:24
you to everyone the guy that was
59:26
for you to and that became i think the dominant
59:28
model and so becoming profound
59:31
or was now table stakes and i think the
59:33
third phase has been you
59:35
know what injuries nervous as well done with a massive
59:38
the services in a value add which is
59:41
that we're gonna basically normally be profound
59:43
or to we're gonna like bring all these resources
59:46
to help you yeah doctor your
59:48
we're in right now i mean from but from our
59:50
perspective like as as cry
59:53
a lot it's not your interest to get into any
59:55
to sue the founder and if we feel like our
59:57
advice isn't being taken while we just bought
1:00:00
you know of course or profound
1:00:02
or like we don't want to control we're not
1:00:04
to for dusters
1:00:05
the and you know if it's every episode
1:00:08
of is becoming frictional were others get
1:00:10
all the way noises onwards the the
1:00:12
underlying things you're not seeing those is because
1:00:15
you have enough of a fun that's large enough
1:00:17
where you can have enough that's weren't any these
1:00:19
any be things to be outside is a total
1:00:21
needle mover but anything that goes to
1:00:23
zero doesn't actually diminish the fondren
1:00:26
parrot meaningfully so there is no
1:00:28
upside to getting engaged in really be non
1:00:30
anti founder so yeah i think is it
1:00:32
i think it's a part of a business model but the one thing on
1:00:34
a table parker the with single
1:00:36
handedly incredibly responsible
1:00:38
for keeping sock in the seat when he was president
1:00:40
of a book is parker road you know
1:00:43
the structure that really allowed mark to
1:00:45
keep control super voting shares a sack
1:00:47
of to to add onto your your point i
1:00:49
think that there's been the
1:00:51
don't see it there seems to be a bifurcation
1:00:54
around the services model or not but
1:00:56
the forcing the seems to have happen and you
1:00:58
guys tell me if i'm wrong on this but if it
1:01:00
plays into the tiger global story what
1:01:02
when i was a when i got
1:01:04
that terms for my series be the
1:01:07
climate court martialed recent i was hungry like
1:01:09
twenty five to thirty nine dollars market reasons like
1:01:11
where did he give you twenty for forty million dollars more
1:01:14
than you are asking for
1:01:15
because we want you to use that extra capital to go
1:01:18
faster to go harder to grabbed the market because
1:01:20
we just take a bench in businesses that grabbing the
1:01:22
market that seems to have also
1:01:24
become a bit of a mainstay but not as the main
1:01:26
say but now almost like the
1:01:28
the the kind of a standard pitch
1:01:31
that a lot of the later stage guys are taking which
1:01:33
is like years
1:01:34
so much capital that it help you make the
1:01:36
market analysts off that isn't fun
1:01:38
kind of had that to disagree with a hundred billion dollar
1:01:40
raise entire global i think last year has
1:01:43
publicly said they deployed about fifteen billion
1:01:45
dollars is a start ups were stored
1:01:47
up me in a natural cycle kind of evolved
1:01:49
in eating seventy million dollar raise or hundred million
1:01:51
dollars and they're like writing checks for to fifty
1:01:54
or three hundred and saying the sex or capital
1:01:56
gives you the ability to move faster the reason is the
1:01:59
factor of his the move the
1:02:01
higher the multiple they get on the revenue
1:02:03
for the higher the growth rate the higher the multiple
1:02:05
through if you can deploy capital faster we could
1:02:07
find a business where we can pump money through
1:02:09
you to get it out the door faster your
1:02:11
multiple goes up and tigers model was let's
1:02:14
just get the multiple top has multiple expansion
1:02:16
and growth will make money to wave
1:02:18
on the company goes public and eighteen it's my four months
1:02:21
obviously when the markets end up taking and all those
1:02:23
multiple compressed no growth rate
1:02:25
as an assault that problem for you but
1:02:28
we're having more capital the maybe you are
1:02:30
thinking you're asking for also seems
1:02:32
to have become kind of attack the animals that
1:02:34
you gotta start of the sport the
1:02:37
illusion but i certainly wasn't the case twenty
1:02:39
years ago nvc for be careful about his
1:02:41
six million all around and eight million dollar what's the right
1:02:43
amount of capital the nowadays it's much
1:02:45
more about take more than enough ophelia
1:02:48
was a three point five in there which is
1:02:50
you saw a little bit of lack
1:02:52
of governance or superpowers on
1:02:54
the part of like something company founders about
1:02:56
founders just you know whether
1:02:58
it's we worked or and us whatever too much control
1:03:01
not enough governance things go off the rails based
1:03:04
on this discussion i really think this bifurcate
1:03:06
when it's the first time founder versus a
1:03:08
second time found in what i see because i have been
1:03:10
doing for training for seed companies where
1:03:12
i you have three founders
1:03:15
sit in on each other's first board meetings
1:03:17
we do one board meeting each and i train them how
1:03:19
board meetings works and what i experienced with
1:03:22
the coil my board motherboards the
1:03:24
first time founders like the tactical stuff
1:03:26
how to run a board meeting legal age are hiring
1:03:29
partnerships go to market tradesmen
1:03:31
it it is tactical
1:03:33
all the time and then when i've been on with second
1:03:35
and third time founders you know they
1:03:38
really are like here's all the materials here's
1:03:40
what i'm thinking about what do we think strategically
1:03:42
so they go from a doctoral ever to the strategic admission
1:03:45
level awfully quick and they actually seem
1:03:47
to enjoy having those for meetings a year we're
1:03:49
at first i thought is really need to have six
1:03:51
the cat a year in those in that first you
1:03:54
know point year to have a company that's
1:03:56
my experience i realized in this discussion
1:03:59
the market the really meaningfully change
1:04:01
meaning
1:04:02
that would actively investing even in the early
1:04:04
two thousand er sorry in
1:04:06
the in two thousand and eleven twelve thirteen
1:04:09
there was a culture
1:04:11
where if you underperformed you get replaced and
1:04:14
i think david what you to spoke about which
1:04:17
the guess is true has really changed
1:04:19
which is if you're running a multi multi billion
1:04:21
dollar fun abby check
1:04:23
is twenty million dollars the upside is billions
1:04:26
for the downside is negative twenty there's
1:04:28
no point
1:04:30
you know sequoia used to be known as a very
1:04:32
very very tough tough tough
1:04:34
place for ceos are underperforming now
1:04:36
they're going to nine million dollar fun night and twenty
1:04:39
years ago after doesn't matter too much no
1:04:41
not even even ten minutes and ten years ago
1:04:43
i think he was under you was known as a very
1:04:45
tough demanding place i mean benchmark was known as
1:04:47
a very tough demanding place because the money was
1:04:50
much more final then petsmart
1:04:52
still the still active the money i
1:04:54
need a case in call they never they never grew they're
1:04:56
fun side no you're not you're
1:04:58
not hearing me as i am i think what's
1:05:00
happening is like this and i had to quail my board
1:05:02
and i worked at subway or so there's there's in
1:05:05
high expectations which having all these don't have
1:05:07
to have and the
1:05:09
willingness to replace the founder as ceo
1:05:12
and what i'm saying is every bc claims this
1:05:15
but there were a handful of vcs that had the courage
1:05:17
to do this i mean famously mike morris and john
1:05:20
doerr you know how did out with larry a
1:05:23
at the you know rope broke up to this from like
1:05:25
to go public you know get your business ball
1:05:27
or give us our money by famously a google so
1:05:30
they're not they're willing to draw a line in the sand i
1:05:32
think about has fundamentally changed at all these
1:05:34
organizations because the fun thousand
1:05:36
gone up
1:05:37
and a random mathematical reality
1:05:39
of venture capital has changed something else you're
1:05:41
missing which is be i remember moritz indoor
1:05:44
were not operators and now these
1:05:46
companies are being run rule off is running
1:05:48
sequoia and he's an operator and he
1:05:50
was there so the changing of the guard
1:05:52
and marc andreessen horowitz were operator
1:05:55
so the operator class but he's very
1:05:57
differently don't agree with you i
1:05:59
think added
1:06:00
ironically disease not pullen i
1:06:02
think that fun sized dictates his behavior
1:06:04
more than any singular other feature
1:06:07
when you're running a nine billion dollar fun
1:06:09
you just don't sweat the changing of the ceo
1:06:11
and david said it really well
1:06:13
the to say okay utter losses and move once
1:06:15
we don't lose i dig and more about the culture change
1:06:17
in silicon valley as a bunch of mb a
1:06:19
finance people who have never run a company
1:06:22
now moving and running companies but yeah
1:06:24
let's move onto the next any closing
1:06:26
thoughts on this one well just have a in the gypsies
1:06:28
art directors point that if if you're a founder
1:06:31
and you want to eventually run a great public
1:06:33
company
1:06:34
when you i feel guess what you're
1:06:36
going out governments and
1:06:38
what i see a big time right i mean there's
1:06:41
the delaware law there's a lot of like
1:06:43
expectations around being a public company
1:06:46
them so if you don't have
1:06:48
on board you know you're not constituting
1:06:50
wanting to go public as can be a massive
1:06:52
amounts of clean up that you have to do
1:06:55
a massive i've seen i'm so
1:06:57
your your end up scrambling to create a board i think
1:06:59
that the board searches are
1:07:01
so many purposes early on of giving
1:07:03
you advice to me you structure
1:07:06
out of providing support help services
1:07:09
you can sole remaining control while getting
1:07:12
those things and i'm just i'm skeptical
1:07:14
that like if you former company was completely
1:07:16
passive v sees you doing with serve
1:07:18
on a board like you're gonna have to
1:07:20
do a lot to clean up later i see at a minimum
1:07:23
totally
1:07:24
adding that that's true to totally i'm not a bad
1:07:26
way i'm nothing on i advocate
1:07:28
this but and i just think so
1:07:30
the reality is that if these largely
1:07:32
stage crossover firms really step into
1:07:34
the early stage the think
1:07:36
it really build a big book a business and
1:07:39
i do think there are a lot of founders who would love
1:07:42
the just be given the money and just to be left
1:07:44
alone i'm not saying that they think they
1:07:46
know that it's better for them what
1:07:48
on the margin just be able to be left alone
1:07:50
now what changed maybe those everybodys
1:07:53
going be very hands off just because all the fun
1:07:55
sizes have exploded
1:07:57
at that point then you know what is the difference between
1:07:59
sequoia
1:08:00
andy one time will tell i just know that
1:08:02
like work when i see a founder doing something
1:08:04
that i think could risk the company guy off the rails
1:08:06
i'll say so then if
1:08:09
it keeps happening and teachers she gets worse
1:08:11
aussie so again i might many
1:08:13
moves or time i might not this
1:08:16
is why i'm just like maybe after like
1:08:18
two times honestly the nautilus me that's fine their
1:08:20
decision their company their decisions
1:08:23
they off the rails their problem in i will
1:08:25
move onto the next one the not reality
1:08:28
sometimes founders have to learn by doing
1:08:30
it like sometimes their intent and your the could be right
1:08:32
and you to be wrong to so it's is right as that
1:08:35
is hard as a board member you know that's
1:08:37
why i'm very judicious in
1:08:40
giving advice as a board member now and i'm on a bunch
1:08:42
of boards and do were training because when
1:08:44
the rule of was on my board and he still as
1:08:46
if he would ask ray questions as he would be
1:08:48
very thoughtful about have you thought about this or when
1:08:50
i've got advice from dog or michael moore it's
1:08:52
directly yeah doug would say hey
1:08:55
what can you share the to your plan with me and i'd say
1:08:57
you know we haven't built a plan and he said well you know jason
1:08:59
you know hope is not a plan let's make a plan
1:09:01
on let's discuss you know the milestones along
1:09:03
here and it was amazing to have that
1:09:06
level of lawfulness around total revision
1:09:08
as a founder i love it i mean as as
1:09:10
the founder i love giving advice about the you gotta
1:09:12
be really dumb lots of seek it out i mean i
1:09:14
when i was a founder i would even though i was sort
1:09:16
of competing with any of our be referred then i would
1:09:18
like at amazing to
1:09:20
just recently we did it wasn't
1:09:23
like an official board meeting because prof isn't
1:09:25
on our board with he's a big investor
1:09:27
what am i intubation oh
1:09:31
and we just had a meeting with an ad
1:09:33
and kinda , it an
1:09:35
average on thousand dollars with all
1:09:37
and but now we are
1:09:39
trademark it was it was me and our
1:09:41
soldiers the across an owl and an
1:09:44
and and off we have like mm that
1:09:46
amazing meeting where we got quite
1:09:49
i'd say amazing advice wrong that
1:09:51
why focus on it
1:09:53
wasn't that i didn't know these things but
1:09:55
it's just like when you're in the weeds sometimes you're
1:09:57
actually for slice or focus on the most important
1:10:00
the then i came out i mean meeting
1:10:02
really like okay roll off to refocus
1:10:04
does on the most important thing and
1:10:06
it was immensely valuable and you've got to be like don
1:10:09
knotts of secret out no matter what stage
1:10:11
right the i think it out today indigo
1:10:14
understated you're in the thick of things
1:10:16
these aren't squares board he's on
1:10:19
other boards she's got a picture of the
1:10:21
entire playing field it's like somebody who's the
1:10:23
coach of fifteen and be a the
1:10:25
team you're like the coach of
1:10:27
one the seeing things on other and
1:10:30
be a teams that they're doing and methodology
1:10:32
is and best practices that you're just not going to see
1:10:34
though i mean again and then if you look
1:10:36
at the grey founders ck used to come
1:10:38
to me and say there you
1:10:40
know this is a thing i'm gonna be doing up in export meeting
1:10:43
or here's the thing can we jam out the
1:10:45
new that's where a jam session he came up with that term
1:10:47
and
1:10:48
we're for people get together and just jam and talk
1:10:50
for five hours about the product it was awesome
1:10:52
let go on to idea of it's
1:10:54
axis favorite section
1:10:56
of the show
1:10:58
science with the sultan of science
1:11:00
him so what are you going to say
1:11:02
afraid of barbara oh
1:11:04
from enough with the who a
1:11:07
lot dollars access road riding you
1:11:09
have to you if you are engaged
1:11:11
in the science segments assassins
1:11:14
easier in a fight or in the summer it's here's
1:11:16
the deal is david sachs is engaged
1:11:18
during the science portion of the class we
1:11:20
will not have a high as
1:11:23
these as these as teacher your tell us a little bit
1:11:25
about stem cells and ah this
1:11:27
hiv sorry i'll get to tell fact that the
1:11:29
that the is round
1:11:31
it's not black hair vs
1:11:33
on how does that have sex lana a
1:11:36
story that i think we wanted you got one
1:11:38
of the cover today with the hiv story which
1:11:41
incredible yeah i suggested this topic
1:11:44
so i'm interested slanted us
1:11:46
hiv is a retrovirus meaning
1:11:48
once you get an effect did it doesn't go away
1:11:51
he , care if he's a really weird
1:11:54
better opportunity muda you
1:11:56
eat flipping through his politico notes
1:11:58
to figure out what did he miss image posts to say
1:12:00
that i need to know , about shapiro
1:12:03
i still have some of the thought of of
1:12:05
to jordan peterson and sam harris
1:12:07
and conversation glad conversation the
1:12:10
the hiv being cured headline
1:12:13
you know we can dive into it for two minutes but hiv
1:12:15
the retrovirus when you get infected with hiv
1:12:17
with stays in your body forever it
1:12:19
actually as of living inside of your immune cells
1:12:21
that's what makes it such an interesting challenge
1:12:24
and virus the editor
1:12:26
destroyed so the mean south overtime you end
1:12:28
up getting a the way it enters the
1:12:30
me and silva through specific protein
1:12:33
some people have a genetic mutation
1:12:35
where if the there's a change in the
1:12:38
their dna enough protein is different
1:12:40
he says you cannot enter their immune cells and they
1:12:42
can act so they are naturally immune hiv
1:12:45
the about
1:12:47
and so what's happened is i'm
1:12:49
i'm found apparently in why
1:12:52
northern european yeah like norwegians
1:12:54
i say he didn't shouts at the end
1:12:57
anyway so what would serve the interesting
1:12:59
study that was done all
1:13:01
immune cells are made power from stem
1:13:03
cells in your bone marrow and so
1:13:05
you know all the white blood cells that we have the fight off
1:13:08
our diseases come from our bone marrow and
1:13:10
the when you get a blood
1:13:12
cancer sometimes you end up getting
1:13:14
so severe that you have to actually wipe
1:13:16
out all be yourself and
1:13:18
your body
1:13:19
and give your and you end up with a a bone
1:13:21
marrow transplants you get new bone marrow put
1:13:23
in your new blocks else hopefully
1:13:26
if you can survive the therapy a survive that treatment
1:13:29
those know that new bone marrow will produce
1:13:31
new immune cells in your body will recover and
1:13:33
you'll be cured of your blood cancer know
1:13:36
what happened if people had hiv
1:13:39
and when you get this a this bone marrow transplant
1:13:41
you end up you know they they give you radiation and chemo
1:13:43
and they wipe out all your blood cells
1:13:45
the ender any give
1:13:47
you the bone marrow transplants so they select
1:13:49
simply chose the
1:13:52
a bone marrow stem cells that
1:13:54
came from people that have the i'd
1:13:56
the genetic mutation that there
1:13:58
are that prevent hiv the the then when
1:14:00
these hiv patients that got blood
1:14:03
cancer got a bone marrow transplant
1:14:05
with this mutation in it
1:14:06
they were cured of hiv and so
1:14:09
it's a pretty profound
1:14:10
kind a demonstration of what we already
1:14:12
knew which is that this genetic mutation
1:14:15
can
1:14:16
it can prevent hiv and
1:14:18
there are a lot of therapy that are underway
1:14:20
right now
1:14:22
the actually i used gene
1:14:24
editing or to induce
1:14:26
that mutation in people's our blood
1:14:29
cells in their bone marrow without needing it
1:14:31
to give them all the the
1:14:33
first guy that did is the first i did it
1:14:35
was german right for he was in germany
1:14:37
i think and he unfortunately persuade
1:14:40
the cure disease cure disease aids
1:14:43
but he or unforeseen either
1:14:45
relax of the leukemia that killed and but
1:14:47
i think all three cases of people that that
1:14:51
it is coracle cured have
1:14:54
have been these leukemia patients sausage suit
1:14:56
a few things about the future of this kind
1:14:58
of possibility number one is you don't
1:15:00
need to get a bone marrow transplant to
1:15:02
have this mutation
1:15:05
in you
1:15:06
in your cells to prevent this infection
1:15:08
from a kind of occurring in your body you
1:15:10
can use gene editing tools to do that and
1:15:12
so we are now developing gita and a therapies
1:15:14
were rather than go and get a whole bone marrow transplant
1:15:17
the cure your hiv we can actually edit yourself
1:15:20
those edited cells will now be resistance and you
1:15:22
will be resolved of hiv the second thing
1:15:24
is the way that they gave people the bone marrow transplant
1:15:26
the way they created or stem cell for the bone marrow transplants
1:15:29
with from the local court of a
1:15:31
blood from a from newborns
1:15:33
hooters very rich in stem cell this
1:15:36
is a traditional way of kind of giving people from
1:15:38
cell based therapies as you go and source themselves
1:15:41
on another body or your own body was
1:15:43
they're called autologous himself but like i
1:15:45
want to say one thing was really interesting and the future
1:15:48
is not going to be about pulling other people
1:15:50
stem cells had your body and finding them
1:15:52
from in a fetal blood or what have you we
1:15:54
now have the technology which i've talked about multiple
1:15:57
times on the show called yamanaka factors the
1:15:59
here we we can take yourself
1:16:02
from your own body her name into
1:16:04
stem cells grow them in a lab
1:16:06
and use that as the therapy that's
1:16:08
called autologous stem cell therapy and
1:16:10
residue stem cells are trying to find them sort
1:16:13
of figured out where they are in your body pull him out
1:16:15
we can actually do stem cells everybody that's
1:16:17
like fifteen years out his
1:16:19
arm
1:16:20
what tali get into stem cell therapy
1:16:22
we actually make your own stem cells and then
1:16:24
give yourself all sorts of therapy lots of bone marrow
1:16:26
transplants would you can heal lots of tissue
1:16:29
in the body using these themselves essence
1:16:31
we don't really hear about hiv aids anymore
1:16:33
i in that article i think it said that there is about
1:16:35
thirty seven million people around the world that have
1:16:37
hiv aids and it's incredible
1:16:39
i see the amount of progress of science has made in this
1:16:42
disease i remember when i was growing up
1:16:44
it was made
1:16:45
to be like this incredible boogie
1:16:48
man yeah and ,
1:16:50
really governed like a lot of social
1:16:52
norms at the time because we were still discovering
1:16:54
what hiv aids was and you know how
1:16:57
you know how do you think about sexual promiscuity
1:17:00
you know from a moral and ethical perspective
1:17:03
on perspective think it had think it impact on my generation
1:17:05
family again it was a death sentence
1:17:08
say they made us paranoid so here's
1:17:10
what happened therapies have gotten so good
1:17:12
at ces over suppressing the virus is
1:17:15
the virus is suppressed are not even though you
1:17:17
are always going to be affected if it's suppress
1:17:19
foreigner the wha on the of the above
1:17:21
said you could still have unprotected
1:17:23
sex and not transmitter hiv and
1:17:26
so even though there are plenty of people out there that might
1:17:28
be having unprotected sex with it's idea
1:17:30
of the therapies have suppressed the viral
1:17:33
load to the point that they're not transmitting
1:17:35
it actively it's not a big breakthrough in find
1:17:37
something like that there were many also had this propels
1:17:39
right which people could say pro athletes are they
1:17:41
thought they might
1:17:43
they find themselves but i mean some of you and i live
1:17:45
in a generation where i mean does
1:17:47
our society it was the end of thanks
1:17:49
yeah well i mean it was the end of days and they're
1:17:51
like
1:17:52
that are a lot it is it was a singles
1:17:54
bigger thing that i was that i was taught in sex
1:17:56
ed classes to be afraid the be aired
1:18:00
all hot and in a problem that is that it
1:18:02
created was like he you know in countries that
1:18:04
had a large catholic population you
1:18:07
know the catholic church was so you know
1:18:10
the evil if they were undecided
1:18:12
on not directly opposite
1:18:14
right side they told people in africa to not
1:18:16
use condoms
1:18:18
when he was rampant
1:18:20
it was the biggest evil second
1:18:22
biggest evil the catholic church that in modern history
1:18:25
of his first we know either contributions
1:18:27
to the site or got your what you're
1:18:30
, i know know
1:18:32
know i'd supremacy it's you're married my
1:18:34
eyes relationship look i remember how scare
1:18:36
people were of aids near
1:18:38
back in the mighty eighties when this came
1:18:40
up and i remember that there
1:18:43
was a head of the nih who even
1:18:45
with to people's fear hold on fear
1:18:48
i say moving a house or
1:18:50
even casual contact with and
1:18:52
now sold then spread it
1:18:55
the other than having an age you are i'm twenty
1:18:57
thousand lives and i was worth yes
1:18:59
we know how to allocate his life
1:19:02
who trying to solve and reduce
1:19:04
the suffering of saw for aids and hiv
1:19:06
know in the nineteen eighties in an idea
1:19:08
weekly was the face of government difference
1:19:10
towards a said he spread fear
1:19:12
and was medically wrong about it to check
1:19:14
the records he was a screw
1:19:16
other than any minister ali now on
1:19:19
it he worked tirelessly worked tirelessly
1:19:21
on it to the ice axes
1:19:23
right in the sense that like what we thought we
1:19:25
knew back then turned out to be wrong and i think that's
1:19:27
really important point
1:19:29
particularly in science is a process
1:19:31
of discovery what we thought we
1:19:33
knew back then turned out to it was all a hypothesis
1:19:35
it's all a thesis until it's proven or disproven
1:19:38
and that's the case read and read andrew
1:19:40
sullivan i mean you know how
1:19:42
to be was absolutely the enemy
1:19:44
public enemy number one of the of
1:19:47
the game of member who's a tony critter
1:19:49
tony jones or global
1:19:51
it was a twenty percent or twenty four concert there was
1:19:53
actually debate the fallacy was an on
1:19:56
aides were aides gay actress literally so
1:19:58
damn i hate you the you read
1:20:00
and her solvents blog you will talk about our
1:20:02
he remembers back about ladies that
1:20:04
darcy was sort of public enemy number one
1:20:06
in the gay community because of
1:20:09
his position on this during the reagan administration
1:20:11
and so it is a lot of civil disobedience
1:20:14
act advocates member to be so and see
1:20:16
responded by putting massive resources
1:20:18
into this so i mean you know if
1:20:21
if he was that's my resume and listen
1:20:23
and resolve and on the andrew
1:20:25
, of he has another right right off with
1:20:27
andrew sullivan is the reason why more
1:20:30
than any other public intellectual why we
1:20:32
have marriage or paul the today he is
1:20:34
number one he advocated from vermeer
1:20:36
to call the and in the new republic made
1:20:38
the case for it before anybody else and papa
1:20:40
was that are now i'm a fan of his writing with
1:20:43
my to don't try for terms of far right where
1:20:45
whenever it for trace out your you're going
1:20:47
to parties intent anyone to believe
1:20:49
that parties an evil person as
1:20:51
you and many other people have mysteriously forgotten
1:20:54
to start she really is
1:20:56
the you doing for i know either conspiracy the getting fouled
1:20:58
she's intent is to
1:21:00
cover up the i maybe he doesn't
1:21:02
he intentionally was working against
1:21:05
ah saw the for hiv that at it was
1:21:07
as big as a lawyer during southsea
1:21:09
good intentions games you inferred as
1:21:11
active in south she had good intentions i don't
1:21:13
i don't really care about sometimes muzzle loaders
1:21:16
action with this amazing it's amazing
1:21:18
what about it's amazing to me that
1:21:21
a public official who
1:21:23
was so wrong
1:21:25
that man in an agonizing nineties
1:21:28
on the public outcry swear times
1:21:30
would just be given a free pass and along
1:21:32
comes a new public health crisis last couple years
1:21:34
or isn't completely wrong about that too
1:21:36
the why are you doing skies because i get it
1:21:39
he succeeded in a cloud of uncertainty
1:21:41
in a time of war the you think
1:21:43
that leaders need to show strong intent
1:21:46
and clear signals or do you think that they should be wishy
1:21:48
washy because they don't know i
1:21:51
think i should be right
1:21:53
if they're trying to best with what they have with the information
1:21:55
may have at the time but that's okay
1:21:57
well you there's some forgiveness for
1:22:00
a for making mistakes but when you're constantly
1:22:02
wrong maybe it's time to get somebody else in there nothing
1:22:05
and been through she by the way found she
1:22:07
act with respect to cope we talked about it before
1:22:09
one hundred percent participated
1:22:11
in a suppression the already
1:22:14
investigations the origins of covert there
1:22:16
was an active attempt to suppress that come
1:22:18
on you know that of the for your
1:22:20
emails show it
1:22:23
the good side segment of
1:22:26
i do want to give a shoutout to the the
1:22:29
researchers saw as who actually
1:22:31
did this with this woman sat in new york
1:22:33
it's please
1:22:34
integrate what's incredible as they did it was
1:22:36
some hiv patients who
1:22:38
had blood cancer and it was a really kind of like
1:22:40
thoughtfully designed experiment incredibly
1:22:43
buff of yeah it's been four years so i mean
1:22:45
this has been speaking for a long flight away as
1:22:47
as i zoom out and here's you guys talk about what hiv
1:22:49
was like you know back in the day and the fear
1:22:51
rounded i do think that thirty forty
1:22:53
years from as given the tools we have with
1:22:55
induced stem cells and cell based
1:22:58
therapies in there are hundreds to solve a therapy
1:23:00
coming to market over the next year's they're all and
1:23:02
least it's clinical trials as well as gene editing
1:23:04
i think hopefully i'm optimistic

issues that was true you're in a bj but he had
1:25:58
to come in as they walk all parting
1:26:00
outdoors like really ah

1:26:05
three walls and ceiling i call that a room don't
1:26:08
have any about that was he
1:26:10
was he was misinformed because
1:26:13
the rules the superbowl was that if you're not
1:26:15
eating and drinking anyone under over
1:26:17
the age of to actually wearing actually mask also
1:26:20
you know my point stands i just want to
1:26:22
air so here is here's where things went
1:26:25
south is bomb is
1:26:27
so that i tweeted going twice
1:26:30
bob and , jersey
1:26:32
i wasn't totally trying to be snarky with that comment
1:26:36
comment here's why i said that is because you swing
1:26:38
was i mean i don't understand that wouldn't be blink twice
1:26:40
pull me aside me ,
1:26:43
you're being how kidnapped by these concepts
1:26:45
that you have to wear a mayor know you're being held hostage by
1:26:48
somebody in there and the reason why so that is
1:26:50
because his his book as if a p
1:26:52
g has been some crazy dumpers
1:26:54
i never would have said that the fact is a pg
1:26:56
is smart he writes
1:26:58
extremely well published lot of interesting things
1:27:01
he's independent thinker so
1:27:03
it almost seems to me like somebody is holding them
1:27:05
hostage here because after this really smart
1:27:07
person the making this case anyway
1:27:11
once out from there though
1:27:14

1:28:00
a biography as well as the math mandates in
