ted to Hillary Clinton. These are some big flips. David Sacks, as you know, Craft Ventures, he's got a fundraiser going on for Trump. Chamath Palihapitiya, Social Capital, he's also hosting a fundraiser. Both of those guys were not at least prominent Republicans before. Bill Ackman, always voted Democrat, Pershing Square. He says he's likely to back Trump after supporting Democrats forever. And then Steve Schwarzman of Blackstone, a super rich guy, he'll be backing Trump for 2024.

Now there are probably a number of reasons for this. Number one, you saw that CNN was starting to cover the Trump-Biden situation at least with some balance. That makes it a lot safer for ordinary normal people to say all right, it looks like both sides are out there and people are not getting killed for it so I guess I can jump in. The other thing is that I think people genuinely think another term of Biden could be the end of America. I think that another term of Biden could be — might not be but it could be the end of America as you know it. I think that's legitimately a real thing. And they're probably a little panicked about holding on to their situation, which is the best situation in the world, being a rich person in America. Pretty good deal. They probably like to stay that way.

So I like to think that my contribution to any of this is to make it safe. So I think I made it safe to criticize DEI. Would you agree? And a lot of other people are doing the same. So a lot of notable people who have reputations to protect are also coming out and saying you know what, it's a bunch of garbage here. But I'll tell you one thing that most of these people have in common, or if not all of them have. You detected the one thing that all the people have in common who are now feeling safe that they can say Trump would be a better option? What is it about them? Well a lot of them are rich but it's not that. Something better is something more telling. We don't have bosses. That's the key variable.

I don't have a boss. I used to have customers that could cancel me and then they did. They did primarily for being a Trump supporter. They had an excuse but mostly it was that. So I don't have a boss and I'm not worried about getting fired I guess again. So I can tell you what I actually think. What do Shaun Maguire, David Sacks, Chamath, Bill Ackman, Doug Leone and Steve Schwarzman have in common? No bosses. No bosses. Only people without bosses have freedom of speech. And there's a reason because big companies don't have the option of being provocative. Big companies have to stick with the most common narrative because that's the safest thing.

So if you have a boss who works for a big company, let's say let me use an example that might resonate with you. Let's say you are a doctor but you don't have a private practice and work for yourself because that's actually kind of rare these days. You work for a big hospital or a big medical group. You have a boss. And then a pandemic comes along and the official word is get these vaccinations and your company says you know we're going to make a ton of money if you get everybody vaccinated. So if I hear you saying that maybe you shouldn't get a vaccination, you're fired.

So as long as we basically have a situation in the United States where free speech is limited to people who don't have a boss. Because if you have a boss, the agents of censorship will get to the boss because that's your weak spot. The boss will cave first because they're not about politics. The boss is about money and should be. So as soon as they say oh my money is threatened, I'll do whatever you say. So you can always make the big entity, the government, the big organization, the big company, they're too embarrassed to not full diversity, full narrative, full Democrat view of life.

So I'd like to suggest that an interesting framing for the coming months is that free speech exists only for people who don't have bosses. Because that's the truth. Everybody who has a boss is lying. That's just the truth. Everybody who has a boss and is talking about politics in public, they're probably lying because they have to. They literally have to lie or they get fired. Now that doesn't mean that some of them don't believe what they're saying but I'm just saying.

All right, let's do a little less of that in the comments please over on Locals. Yeah I get it, there a real book and that's the title of the book but you're not helping out. Let's have some kind of a standard that is don't make it easy for people to close down the channel. Don't make it easy. Don't make it easy. By the way I'm not offended by what you did. It's just a cover of a book and it's a book on the market and you know I just wouldn't do that here. Okay I appreciate it. Apology accepted. See that's how it's done. Did you watch that? That's how adults do it. Saw something I didn't like, said why I didn't like it. He says sorry. I say apology accepted. Now we move on. T
