enough and you gave half a billion to something else then logically that was half a billion that could have been available but isn't. Is that a good argument? I'm going to go with both of them are full of shit. So I'm going to say I can't back either argument because they both look like they're lying. So I don't believe the Democrats when they say oh it's a different bucket. But I also don't beli…
← Previous segment →d about the cyber security of your company or your own computer. If you're worried about the cyber security of your company you should see a judge. No no no. Some of you were saying no why wouldn't I talk to a cyber expert? No you don't need a cyber expert to tell you who can and cannot hack a machine. No you need a judge. Somebody went to law school. They're the ones who can tell you if the security problems in your machine are purely hypothetical or the real kind you need to worry about.
So don't worry people. Don't worry. A judge says that hackers can't get into the machines. No a judge said it. Stop complaining. A judge said it. Can't do it.
Have you heard about the event where the hackers get all the newest, well I don't know if they're the newest, they get all the voting machines in one room and then they hack them and they hack everyone every time. They're all hacked. But the judge says these particular machines, no problem. It's only hypothetical. So I don't trust that.
Have I told you that all data that matters is fake? And the closer you get to an election the more fake it is.
Well here are three takes. Remember you saw the report that the jobs are looking great and the jobless rate is under control. What was the first thing you said to yourself when you saw that the job numbers look great right before the election? Well you probably said what I said. These numbers aren't real. Do you know who else said these numbers don't look real? I think it was Bloomberg and CNBC. So both Bloomberg and CNBC when they saw the job numbers said uh no.
So this is one of those situations where you really have to divide the world into people with experience in the real world and people who are inexperienced. Suppose you're 25 years old. You're trying to decide who to vote for and the numbers come out that says the jobs are great and that may be the thing you care about the most especially if you're looking to work your way up through the employment world. So you're 25 and you see that the jobs are just killing it. You're going to vote for a Democrat.
But if you happen to be experienced, let's say you're over 50 and you've seen how the real world works, you've seen how numbers are always weird when it gets to the election and you know that they're usually revised and often revised in a major way downward but after the fact. If you had experience in the real world and those numbers came out you said what CNBC and Bloomberg said. Uh no no these are not real numbers.
So I have that kind of experience. So as soon as I saw it I didn't need to consult with Bloomberg. I didn't need to consult with CNBC. They did not need to consult with anybody either. Because if you have a certain amount of experience in the real world you just look at those numbers and you shake your head. You go no no I've been saying the same thing about science measuring the temperature of the earth. People in the business world tend to give scientists like their own space as in the scientists are somehow immune from all the things that make every other number fake. They're not immune. It's exactly the same. If it's a political domain such as climate change their numbers are as real as the job numbers meaning that it's all motivated numbers. You

can't trust any of it. So that's the difference between being experienced and not experienced. So you can sell climate change to young people because they do not yet know that all the important data is fake. They don't know that. But once you know that everything that matters to policy and to money is fake or at least you shouldn't trust it then everything looks different suddenly. All right so…
