ld be the end of free speech basically because if the governments can exercise this power you don't need all the governments to do it. You just need enough governments to say you have to censor before it just becomes easy for everybody to do it, all the governments to do it. So yeah that's a big deal.

And Conor McGregor, famous UFC fighter, is actually kind of serious about running for president and could actually, in my opinion his popularity is Taylor Swift-like. He could actually win. Could actually win.

All right, here's another factoid. Reid Hoffman, one of the biggest donors to Democrats, reportedly gave a quarter million dollars to a Nikki Haley super PAC. So you ask yourself why would the biggest, or one of the biggest, he might be the biggest now that there are other biggest donors are having some troubles, but Reid Hoffman, why would he give money to a Republican if he's one of the biggest Democrat donors? And Vivek posted, well this makes sense. Yeah because have you noticed that Nikki Haley is sort of overperforming? She seems like she's doing better than I expected. Well maybe she's got more money. That might help.

And why would Reid Hoffman fund her? Is it because it's an anything-but-Trump? So if he can get an anti-Trumper elected, not an anti-Trumper but a anybody-but-Trump, that's good. But if he can get a Democrat elected that's even better. Or is he just creating trouble in the Republican party? Is it just to cause chaos in the Republicans? I don't know. Quarter million dollars.

Here's what I can tell you about Reid Hoffman. So not only was he founder of LinkedIn and a big billionaire but he's one of the pioneers of social media in general. And specifically what he pioneered was the understanding of human behavior and addiction. Like how to get somebody to really, really like going back to the platform and how to get a network effect working etc.

Now he's one of the so-called PayPal Mafia, the people like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk and David Sacks and Reid Hoffman. So they were all part of that PayPal original startup. Here's the thing I always say about that group. The one thing that that group has in common to a scary degree is the understanding of human psychology. And I would argue that they know that better than any small group of people you've ever seen. Consistently their understanding of how people operate, like how the brain works, is really the secret to all their success.

You know what makes the service viral, what makes you impossible to leave a service. It's all that stuff. You know Elon Musk making his first Tesla super fast just so people would be excited by it. The ludicrous mode in the current Teslas, completely unnecessary, completely unnecessary. It just makes it irresistible to a certain kind of buyer.

So yeah Reid Hoffman is more than just a big donor. He is probably one of their biggest persuasion experts. So if you see a persuasion play coming out of the Democrats, probably Reid Hoffman thought it was a good idea because if he thought it was a bad idea he's probably influential enough to stop it. And he's probably smart enough to suggest good ideas.

So if you're looking for who are the, sometimes people ask me this, you know if Robert Kennedy is not involved in politics this time and I think he was looking to retire from that, if he's not, who on the side of the Democrats is their persuasion expert? And I would look at Reid Hoffman as not just a rich guy giving money and not just a brilliant entrepreneur but he might be their persuasion expert. He might be the one. So I'm keeping a persuasion eye on him.

By the way I like Reid Hoffman. I've met him and he's a great guy. Had a very good personal interaction. He was very kind to me. He has different political preferences but I don't fault him for that. So yeah he's a good guy anyway.

Facebook and Meta getting some heat for having too much sexual content for young people. There's some kind of a civil lawsuit being filed in New Mexico. And doesn't it just boggle your mind that the X platform was singled out for their advertisement too close to content that people don't like and none of it was true? It was way more true on the platform that backs the Democrats. Way more true. But of course the truth doesn't matter. It's a political season so the truth doesn't matter.

All right. In California a new law is going into effect on January 1st. So California retailers will be fined for not having gender neutral toy sections for kids. You'll actually be fined if your toys are for boys and or girls or I guess if it just looks obvious it's for boys or for girls.

Now aren't there a lot of toys that are just naturally gender neutral? I thought that was already the case. Aren't most things gender neutral? Maybe not most for kids but this looks like just begging for lawsuits for no good reason. And what would that look like anyway? How if you labeled it, how would you label it? Would it be toys for boys, toys for girls, and toys for undecided? Or toys for non-binary? Like how would you even call it out? Toys, non-gender toys or something. I feel like everything is just designed to make it harder to be in business without getting sued.

Yeah, non-tuckable swimsuits. I don't know what they do but that looks like a ridiculous overreach by government.

So apparently Hunter Biden has something that the news is calling his sugar brother. Sugar brother. Somebody who gives him money. We don't know what this guy's getting in return. We can only imagine. But apparently Hunter has received 4.9 million from one Hollywood lawyer, Kevin Morris, in a three-year period.

Now I don't know about your friends. I've never had a friend who would give me five million for basically nothing in return. But boy do I wish I did. I wish I had a friend like that. But when I say for nothing in return that's unfair because some of it is that he bought Hunter's art work. So I'm sorry I probably should correct myself. I exaggerated. It'
