After twenty two years of being a Titan on Wall Street and starting his own firm, Tony kasaik Get is walking away What this said? The Ugly Side Cooking and on the inside, We'll interview insiders and other titans of all types of industries, offering advice and sharing stories of adversity.

This is another episode the.

Inside of Show. Welcome to Cannabis Talk one on one's Financial Fridays with the Inside Investor Tony k. We're the world's number one source for everything cannabis.

Yo.

I don't know where you are, what you're doing, or what day the week it is for you, But over here in the CET one on one iHeart studios, ladies and gentlemen, it is financial Fridays for us. I'm Tony Kay. You're an Insider investor.

I'm here.

Get your mind right and your money game tight. You're hearing me on the world named the CT one on one, heard all over the world in over.

One hundred and eighty countries.

You'll freely me a financial question anytime at one eight hundred and four to twenty nineteen eighty.

You can always find me on Instagram at the Insider Investor and now You guys know that I created Financial.

Fridays because I'm the twenty years of being a Wall Street insider, I got sick and tired of watching the little guy get screwed over.

You guys know what I want to do.

I want to empower you by giving you access to what's been in my head for over twenty years and bringing some of my.

Friends to share their wisdom with you.

And of course, you guys know that one of my biggest secrets of money is that there is a misconception that taxes.

Are an April problem.

I see too many business overs, owners and even individuals just focus on their taxes April if you're a consumer, and then of course October if you're a corporation or a LLC. But you, guys, that's the biggest misconception that I had while I was an advisor on Wall Street is that taxes should be a year round consideration. In fact, a good company has a tax strategists that focuses on your taxes, your cash flow statements, etc. You should be having that conversation at least once a month so that it's not so painful when it's April time. Now, you guys, I have a good group of guys over at Easier Accounting. It's Easier accounting. Dot com crap. It's in their name, guys, it's Easier Accounting. They make accounting easy and more importantly, they've specialized for the canipreneur community. They have platforms to create your own LLCs, help you with your taxes, your cash flow, you're bookkeeping. Give him a call. They got a brick and mortar location out in Utah. Great group of people again, Easier Accounting. That's eighty eight eight six two zero zero seven seven zero. Now we're back here on Financial Fridays. You, guys, I got a special guest with me again. If you've if you've been a fan of the show and you're not living on the rock, you know who this man is. We talk about him a lot, We reference him a lot.

He's somebody.

In fact, he was in the studio today helping us with a brand new festival. We can't talk about it yet, but it's coming out sometime in November. We're super excited to put that together. And this man man, he is one of the biggest best attorneys out here in California, and he's become a good friend of the show.

He also has a stage name today.

Now that's not because he's an exotic dancer, but I heard today that he's an entertainer. He's going to be performing in California in LA and it's gonna be at a very special venue where I'm gonna get to watch him put out his comedic talents. You guys, welcome to the show, mister Freddie Sage aka Freddie Fox.

Ah, thank you, thank you, thank you. Welcome back, brother, welcome back. What an introduction.

Well, you know you are a man of menting mysteries. Just when I think I've known you, uh, you know, we've hung out at several events. Now we just have this big nat Ideas event. We we had good times there. But then today the guys were like, hey, are you gonna go watch Freddy perform this weekend? I said, what what is he performing? And they're like, you tell me in your own words, what are you doing? You're not You're not stripping, You're not a Chipendales dancer. That's not it right.

You know what? What what what has happened is is.

I have a lot to say in my my my social media platform. They people stop listening to me and nobody wants to hear me. And you know, in the courtrooms, you're confined to your expression, to the law, to the case, and to the facts. And I'm very opinionating and I've got a lot to say, and I think I'm a funny guy. So I uh encourage myself to take some comedy CLIs and to get a comedy coach, and I found an outlet of expression through stand up comedy. So this will be my debut performance. It's August fourth at the world famous ice House in Pasadena, Okay, It's at eight pm. The ice House is the oldest comedy club in America. Several years ago, it was purchased by Gmmy Buss, the owner of the Lakers, and they completely remodeled it and revamped it and it's the ultimate comedy club, uh.

In the country.

Now is the Are you the head Obviously you're not the headliner. It's your debut performance. It's my debut, but I've been working on the set for a while. I think it's funny.

We'll see and then there's a there's about seven to eight other incredible comedians.

You know, I got to share.

I actually through college as a bartender at the improv. They used to have one down over by Metropolis down in Irvine, and they've moved it several times. But I kind of really got a good appreciation of the comedy circuit, you know, seeing some of these guys that they're owning their craft and then seeing some of the biggest guys too. They still have tape recorder trying out different sets. And most people think these comedians just grab a mic and just freestyle, which is an art in itself, but even those freestyle segments, they've tested their lead in questions, they've tested them out, and it's something that you got to definitely dedicate some time to. So how much time have you spent now with the coaches or the mentors in this.

Well, it's an absolute craft. And you know I run. Everything that I do is baseball passion.

You know, when I'm excited about something, you know, and you find time because I spend a lot of time driving the court or doing things like that, and I'm always thinking of funny things. And then when you start writing it, it becomes an artistic craft, and then you start honing these jokes. So I said that I started looks completely different than what it is. And then it's just a learning process, you know, when it's a creative outlet. Some people play golf, some people you know, jet ski or whatever, and I just find creative ways to you know, express myself.

How long of the set is it's going to be a axcimately.

Less than ten minutes, which is a lot. Once it is a lot.

Yeah, no, believe me, I've heard.

And then and then doing it. You you really get an appreciation of how hard it is. It's difficult. It's nerve wracking.

You know.

I've given speeches in front of thousands of people, and I do it as you guys see me like flawless, so you just no fear. But when it comes down to getting an immediate reaction and memorizing word for word, because when I give any other talk, you freestyle and you get it out. But a joke has a timing layering of it. If you put the word two or a by, actually it throws the whole joke. There's the whole timing is off of the joker dog or fuddy. So it's a craft and it's just something I expect. You know, I'm doing it for fun, but it's something that I expect to take four or five, six, ten years to get up.

Hey, Like I said, being a big fan of comedy, I've been really tapped into not the controversy so much, but the state of May as we stand. Chappelle's talking about it, even Seinfeld's talking about it. All the big guys are like kind of tired of the wokeness in comedy, if you will, and how anybody can get canceled for any off color joke now, and some of them are kind of doing the counter to it, to saying scrit I'm gonna do what I want and they can get away with it, whether it's Joe Rogan, et cetera. Are you kind of going middle of the road since you're a little bit newer to not not into politics, not into the woke agenda, or are you kind of keeping it more attached to the law. What kind of material are you work?

Well, you're not gonna like me because I'm completely woke, and I the reason for this.

A lot of what I have to say is political, and I'm woke in a different manner. I'm not the woke that you probably think of the negative connotations. You know, I believe in free speech all across the board. I believe in individual rights. I a person can change their gender or carry a gun. You know, I'm like a no, no, no, it's not a hybrid.

No.

I have a firm belief in the constitution of rights to freedom and expression on all levels. Whether it's conservatives to say and do whatever they want at the church or if it's the statanic worshipers, I'm good with it all. My key is no, I want people to do whatever they want. It's none of my business. It's none of my business. Right who you sleep with will gun you by? You know, unless the gun is used to kill kids and slaughter them, then maybe we should have regulations. But you know, I I'm just anti judgmental on all levels, and I think that that's how the world should be.

I think that's what it's at.

As to answer your question regarding canceling and stuff like that, I think in a comedic space, it's the purest.

Form of expression.

Comedy is designed to be hard hitting, right, because they would have canceled George Carlin, or they would have canceled.

Jackie Gleeson, you know.

And what society also has to understand is these comedians were born in different generations and you know, a guy like Archie Bunker would be probably arrested at this point. You know, so we must understand what. You know, I was beaten as a kid and that was fine, like the wal thing, like you got your ass kick and that was a thing. So any anyone trying to stop freedom of expression at any level to me against you know what I mean. And I don't care what your expression is. You know, you're some crazy right wing maga guy.

So be it.

So you believe in the expression the freedom' as long as it doesn't encroach upon you, Like if somebody is not forcing their beliefs on your and vice versa, you should be able.

To me it's your belief preventing another person from doing whatever they want, whether it's an abortion.

Or things of that nature. Only when.

That your demand for freedom of expression leaves expression and can have a significant impact on another. Like you know, the proliferation of assault rifles. I just don't think that hunters need assault rifles, not because that they shouldn't have it. I really would want them to have it. The problem is is it gets into the wrong hands. And now we have you know, before when they passed the Second Amendment, you know, a guy had a musket black powder, put it in shot one guy, you know, And I don't want to say I can you know, I can live with one guy getting shot. It's hard when a shooter in Las Vegas, let's off, you know, fifteen thousand rounds, you know, it's it's I think war weapons belonging war. But that's my probably the only thing that I think. And I just don't think that's a matter of expression. I don't think that's a matter of a civil right to own a specialized have all the guns you want, but just maybe keep the rounds low or something like that.

Now, going back to the comedy, but you mentioned some legends, you know, and some of the names you dropped of former comedians and living comedians. But what are your top three inspirations in the comedy world?

Living David Chappelle, Okay, Number one, Sebastian manascalso the Italian.

Guy of course, he's hilarious.

And who who I really like and I just seen him this week and I just think is an absolute pure of talent is Maz Drabroni, who is a Persian comedian who I think he's brilliant.

Him and Russell Peters, they did. Back during the George Bush days. They had a circuit where it's called the Axis of Evil Tour, and I probably saw that show three times, said, man, it was it. It was hands down one of the best festival style comedy circuits.

I think.

Yeah, but the goat is Dave Chappelle living in Depth.

Okay, well that's really your guy. For me, it was probably Chris Rock. I've always enjoyed his his live sets.

But and then talk to me about a little bit. You know, on this show we talked a.

Little bit a lot about entrepreneurs and how they can kind of get make their vision of reality. Obviously, we have master mentors for the kentrepreneurs as mentors, and I imagine in the legal world you've had countless different mentors. How important has it been for you to have these classes and their mentorship and you becoming a true student of comedy as opposed to just kind of trying to freestyle it.

Well, you know, I'm a firm believer that there are you know, I'm older, you know, I'm not eighteen where I could just sit in a nightclub and you know, grind it out, and the ability to have a comedy coach and we write every day, and we perform, and we perform in front of them, and we work these things through. Helps shorten that time of getting good, you know. And you know, if you want to be good at anything, you have to be a student of the craft.

You know.

I want to higher education ten years it too, so I understand what it takes, the pay dues and work through it, and you're a shitty lawyer.

Until ten years later.

Yeah, you need twenty years between your education and your law of practice that actually be worth the ship.

And I just counted a twenty year Yeah. So to be good at anything, you must pay do you must appreciate the craft. I mean, I sit there driving as I'm femine, listening to comedy experts and writing techniques to do that.

Nature just to.

You know, immerse yourself. And that's just how I am. Like, if I take I'm something, I don't hurt you.

Well, congratulations first of all, man, And I don't.

Care this lightly.

You know, from the public speak and standpoint of people think it's it's one of the hardest things to do stage fry, to cetera.

But the true stand up comedy is one of the hardest things to do. And anybody that desert cousins.

Think because they have the courage to be that, and hopefully God will.

We'll be there this weekend and I'm looking going a fording we're gonna take. We're gonna take quick break here.

When we come back, I'm gonna take off his comedy hat. We're gonna put on his legal hat. And I got a bunch of cook questions for you ready. We'll be back here on Financial Friday.

We'll be right back with the Financial Friday five on Cannabis Talk, one on one's Financial Fridays with the Insider Investor Tony K. Welcome back to Cannabis Talk one on one's Financial Fridays with the Insider Investor Tony K. It's now time for the Financial Friday five.

Guys, give it a check out master mentor is Live.

We're coming to the city near you.

Now we're back here with Now he's gonna be mister Freddy Sage no longer Freddie Fox, because Freddie Fox is a stage name. You want to see Freddy Fox We'll see at the Ice House this Sunday.

But you want to talk to Freddie Sage right now and here about is Leia and Crown is not ready.

As soon as I heard that you're going to be back on the show today, I kind of have this list that I've been developing that I kind of wanted to bounce off of you. And these were some of the laws that California has passed, and we didn't really rehearse any of these. I just kind of want to hammer them out to you and just get your opinions and thoughts just from a legal standpoint, as a human standpoint as well. I really respect your opinions, and we've had really good political discourse. I don't identify myself as left or right. I'm just talking. I'd like to be just a realist and just common sense.

I think.

I think that's what we're missing on both sides of the aisle right now. But one of the ones that's that's been passed now, this is in the past year or two. This is called ABE forty seven. I believe it is giving free lawyers for illegal immigrants. In the state budget, Gavin Usom and California Democrats are continuing to divert billions of dollars in state taxpayer funds to provide a wider range of free services and benefits for illegal immigrants, including completely free healthcare. To add insults to injury, California Democrats are using sixty million state tax regatar funds to hire free lawyers that illegal immigrants can use to sue the government as well as fight deportation.

Your thoughts on that.

Well, one, I didn't read the entire bill, and sometimes people not saying you take snippets out of it, chop it up to what they want and throw the question at me in a manner that you know anyone says, Oh, that sounds terrible. So first I need to read the bill and what it really says. Okay, okay, So what I will say is you have asylum in United States, which we recognize we have for many, many years. There are those who have legitimate asylum claims, and when they get to the United States, they don't have legal counsel to adjudicate those issues, similar to a defendant who's arrested and has a legal rights counsel. Okay, if we have a strong border bill that we had where we're going to change the asylum law so we don't have them here by it while during their asylument only for several months, so that would drastically reduce it. What I will say about immigrants is this the reason the United States has so much success and so much wealth is the fact that we are an immigrant based country. Absolutely, Okay. Immigrants are the reason we have the strongest economy because that immigration has created a diverse nature. That why you could spend money at a taco store and get some fa and then get some pizza and get all of these things. Of all, tech companies worth over one billion dollars have been created by immigrants.

Absolutely, and people are going to go.

Well, that's a legal grimment versus underground immigrants, and I'd like to address that. Our legal immigration policy takes you about twenty twenty five years to get here. Most people who are twenty five become fifty years old.

So clearly we need to streamline our migration prophecy.

Second, what we allow immigrants to do is we send them here on a school visa. We send them to Harvard, Yale, Mit, Caltech. They are the brightest and the best of those countries, the brightest minds. And guess what we do after we give them an education home? We send them back home. Ridiculous. Yeah, okay, So the question is in what we're doing for immigrants or legal immigrants, the question is going to be is what can we do to steal the biggest, the best, the brightest. You're a gymnast, you want to come from China, you want to train with us, You stay with us because they want to stay.

Well, what do we do, like idiots?

We send back the best and brights and we keep maybe the ones who aren't the best and bright.

And this goes back to the common sense. I mean everything you said, I don't think anybody could disagree with the other caveat that's kind of really frustrated me. The past, say, eight years, even twelve years, has been the definition of asylum. You know, back when we came into this country, when I was two years old, the definition of asylum was a little bit more strict, if.

You will, and up held differently.

Now, my understanding is asylum is simply coming in from certain countries, just making a claim that hey, your life is in danger back home, and while they figure out or vet that or have your hearing, you're not pretty much released into the United States until your asylum asylum hearing is held. So the standard for claiming asylum is pretty much just saying that you're a political refuge.

So immigration is controlled by the federal government. Okay, so Congress has to enact comprehensive immigration legislation. Do you recall the past the last time Congress has passed anything, including redefining immigrants. I'm not one saying open None of us are saying open border, right, none of us are.

None of us.

You can't say we want open borders, none.

Of that stuff. We have no power. The reason it takes so long to pass asylum because we don't have any judges. We need additional border security. We had a comprehensive border bill that got struck down because of politics. So when I'm asking you, when was the last time there's been comprehensive immigration legislation passed in both houses and signed by the president, can you recall that date?

Ronald Reagan was president.

Twenty five years So when we say we have a broken immigration system, they use it for political purposes.

They could sit their fucking asses down and fix it.

Stricten it up. Here's our policy, here's how we do it.

Because all illegal immigrants want is a policy that's defined.

Nothing is defined, and it's done so intentionally.

That next thing I want to issue about legal immigration, when legal grants grunts come to this country, like Ronald Reagan knew. The bottom line is this when you when you you don't see illegal immigrants asking for money or handouts, they never have. They work and they find ways to do it. Immigrants, legal and illegal immigrants can't use social Security, so they pay into all the social Security and they never collect it. So when they say that they're taking things down. The next thing is this is our immigrant policy? Is this you come to this country. You mow my lawns, you clean my hotel rooms, you wash my dishes, you make sure our food is cheap, our vegetables are cheap. And you sacrifice your entire life and your back, and you get no social Security, and you get no retirement, and you get no pension. But what the American dream is is, if you have a child, we will grant you the opportunity to put that kid through college, and his and his children can have a different leg And that's the trade off of America has had as an unwritten rule. Ronald Reagan knew it. It's an unwritten rule. If you deport six seven to ten million immigrants under a new administration, I don't want to hear why you the price of tomatoes seven dollars a pound. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear that seven dollars for the tomato and five dollars for ahead of lettuce, and now my cheeseburger, my dollars is twenty seven dollars. I don't want to hear it. So you need to pick one, whether you enjoy inflation and are ready to take a five ten times fold, or you pass comprehensive immigration bill and you fix what's here. There are DACA kids who have come here when they're one years old. They are now nearing thirty thirty five years old. We've made a promise to them and we've never upheld it. Fare enough and out of thirty five they'd gone to our colleges and they still can't pay taxes in society.

It's crazy.

Okay, good, well, see that's what I'm talking about, common sense conversations that seems to be missing lately. Going in a different direction, now, this is going to be AB sixty six y five taking children away from parents. Newsome specifically passed AB sixty sixty five recently. I know him and Musk got into a huge entanglement over it in a Twitter war as well. This basically makes it easier for children as young as twelve to be taken away from their parents. Existing state law required child that a child could only be removed or emancipated if a licensed therapist or a health professional determined that abuse or neglect was a curing that posed as a threat to the child in the parents' home, and that the child was mature enough to govern their own affairs. However, AB sixty sixty five removes any need to show abuse, a neglect, or a threat. It even allows an interim or trainee to make the decision. One of the most reckless and anti parent bills as discussed by numerous different health organizations and education organizations and more specifically, and you and I kind of touched on this, it is now my understanding is part of this bill, and this is why Musk announced that he's moving Tesla and SpaceX completely out of California, is that it is now child abuse. If if your kid as young as thirteen wants to have puberty blockers, who thinks he wants to change his sex, you do not support that, your spouse can petition the courts to say that you are abusing that child.

Well, once again, I haven't read the text of the bill.

I only got the synopsis, and generally that synopsis, if I stated it one way coming from the left, it would sound one way, and if I stated it one way coming from the right, it would sound another way, And I would agree with both based upon who'saying it. What I can say is a child is under the control and discretion and responsibility of the parent until they're eighteen years old. Both legally, your son gets in car accident, you're responsible. Your son missed school, you go to jail. So that's the law that I believe in.

Okay.

However, under the law also, a child can get emancipated, correct, and they can get their rights to be emancipated and no longer under the custody and responsibility of that parent.

Okay.

Do you feel that that emancipation age minimum should be as young as twelve thirteen or is there still an age where their brains are forming And you're like, listen, I know better than you, and you should not be able to petition the state to kind of make a judgment that a parent should be making for that twelve year old or eleven year old or thirteen year old.

I'll re restate my position.

My position is the parent is responsible for the child until that child reaches eighteen years old, and that's the parent's responsibility. So what I can address, it's hard for me to address that law specifically because it doesn't sound right. But what I can address is a certain segment of our population believe that people choose to be gay or people choose to have an identity issue and I do understand their position where the normalization and or poliphization of cross stressing or gender identity issues seems as if it's a trend or something common. But I can tell you this, very few people want to change their sexual identity because it's cool. Many of them have struggled with pain and depression, anxiety, disappointment to their parents, and things of that nature. I don't believe it's a thing. I think the argument and the challenges that you raised is at such a minor, minor level where that decision has to come up, where a child may have a very conservative father or mother and that child was born a set way, because you could see it when they're You see it in them, yep, and it just you know, there's something different about your child. They're just not all super manly and playing football and chase a girl. The one day watch a video of the Olympics, and all of a sudden they want to cut their private parts off.

You know that.

I would challenge you a little bit, and by no means am I an expert, because unlike you, I don't have children, and so I would automatically default to your judgment. A little bit more of that However, I have a lot of friends have kids, my girlfriends in the education, my sister's vice principal, and I do see that I don't remember well as kids, we didn't have YouTube and social media, et cetera. But I don't remember there being cartoons specifically geared towards three, four and five year olds where the characters are playing these roles constantly reinforcing the acceptance the openness. You're okay if you want to be this, if you want to be that, and I'm I completely agree with you. There's some kids that as birth you can tell, well is something got mixed up along the way there, and Jane should have been a Jimmy, and vice versa. However, I do feel the statistics that it is that eight times right now people who identify as bisexual or tran etc. Or misgender all the different new pronouns. It's like an eight hundred percent increase that was ever before. And I don't think there's that many more being open. But I think as when your formative years, my five year old niece wanted to be a cat, you know, and so if it's constantly being reinforced that that's okay.

Now all of a.

Sudden, it becomes this cool. Hey, I think I am, and if your friends are, then maybe I want to do it too.

So I have no issue with it.

But I completely adhere to what you said earlier, especially with the sex change stuff, and they blockers. You know right now, it's weird that the agenda is being forced to acceptance that, yes, you're almost abusing this child if you don't agree for it to take puberty.

Broad I agree with you on.

Children don't need to be exposed to it being pushed on them or placed into their formative years. I'm in full agreement of that, so long as it's not hindering you know what I mean, So long as being anti trans I agree with you, and I'll explain to you why you have a correction in that I was saying. The difference between the person who wants to go through a physical change, it's a real serious situation. So my son, who's the toughest five year old dude on earth, goes, oh, I want to paint my nails. I'll blown away. Clearly just came out of something somewhere, and I know that he's like, fucking, I just know, no, you don't, you know? So I believe in their formative years it should be neutral on that, it should be neutral.

On dating and love and all that. It should just be.

Yeah, you know, toys and bubbles and like that.

I'm an agreement there, there's you know, I also agree that they know.

As long as those LGBTQ rights exist.

And no one's hindering them, we maybe don't need to see that at the opening of the Olympics. Nothing that is wrong with it, but do we need to you know what I mean? Is it hurting them because it was a backlash against them. They didn't win, They didn't advance their.

Cause by doing that, you know what I mean?

It hurt their cause, the backlash and protest like you could have, but no one.

Said, it's interesting, Freddy, Like even with this stuff about men competing in women's sports, it's and everybody says, oh, it's such a minute percentage. However, the nc double A, the Olympics, the collegiate athletes and people women losing scholarships.

But when you talk to most LGBTQ people, they're like.

We didn't ask for that, so we didn't want that, and now it's being shoved jammed. Why would the NCUBA agree with that. Why would all these huge organizations all of a sudden swing to these handful of far left activists that are and a lot of those people don't even have experience or family members in this, in that in that category, if you will.

Right, So that's when I get go down. Why wise this coming in?

And it is hurting the lgbt I would say eighty percent of LGBTQ community does not agree with men participating in women's sports.

You're correct, they don't and and my objection is only from a competitive nature. I just think it's unfair because why would you have the NBA and WNBA will clearly you know there's an athletic different If you look all across with the Olympics, there are almost very few that have to have women's volleyball, men's volleyball. It's it's we cannot deny that men are built differently. We were evolved differently to go out and hunt and things of that nature. Were taller and bigger, faster, stun That's just nature. And it's unfair competition.

And I'll leave it on this too.

And I don't have any daughters of no kids, but if I did have a little girl One of my biggest frustrations now is then the messaging it's sending, because outside of sports, then you have biological men winning Miss Universe contents.

Right, So now it's like, all right, well, how hard do you have to try as.

A woman to just be the top woman?

And now you're allowing men to compete in those women's categories, and then.

You have a little five year old girls.

That's it's you know, maybe I need to become a Troy girl.

I don't know that that's one right mess Here's the thing.

I think that you've pushed it across the line by entangling one thing and then pushing it over the sign.

The bottom line is unless someone has a serious mental health disease, nobody.

Change Deir Sack, I'm pleasure, okay here, all right, all right, guys, we're gonna take a quick break.

I got a handful of other questions for Freddy, and then we'll close out today's show. We'll be right back here on Financial Friday.

We'll be right back with more Financial Fridays with the Inside Investor Tony Ka.

Or I'm sitting here with Freddy, says Freddy. How do we get a hold of you?

If somebody's sitting at home right now and needs to goe to turn myself call it self and this self one is three.

One zero eight seven seven five zero three three. I pick up all clins, but they need myself one point clouds.

And guys, it's the Fox Sperm, that's the Fox Firm with two axes. Like I said before, one of the few attorneys that I have on speed out. Anything you need, He's got you covered. We're now back here on Financial Fridays. We're just talking about some hot button topics and laws that.

Have been past year.

In the past year, and some of these may seem political, but some of them are just common sends. But I'd love to hear your viewpoint on it.

Give us call anytime in one a hundred four twenty nineteen eighty let me know what your thoughts are.

And of guys, a lot of this stuff is coming from just common sense, the different opinions.

Different viewpoints.

That's one of the biggest things in PSTE right now is what Freddy and I are doing. It's just have a normal health discourse. He has some positions but I may not agree on, and vice versa. But that's missing in the political landscape right now. Everybody is so defined by just these polar opposite positions that are keep going further and further and further. Freddie, I'll share with you a quick story I think I've shared another time. But back in my investor days, when I would go to these investment conferences, one of the keynote guys and at the time I was I was similar to you. I think I identified more towards further left and really did wasn't a big fan of anybody affiliated with the right and the old. This was during Trump's first term, and I think it was in a second year, and the keynote address was being delivered by the campaign manager, that dude with the long beard that ended up having some domestic.

Violence issues, et cetera.

So that guy's got on stage he said something that always stuck to me, and at first I was kind of anti him. By then I kind of was like a big fan of what he was saying, because he said man, I wasn't political when I first got into here. I'd never been to Washington in my life. He made websites. He made a website for Ivanka. She liked it, and somehow they put her in touch with campaign. He went from being a website builder to run in a campaign. Goes to show you the qualifications they had in that one. So, but the point was, he said something he said when I first got to walt to Washington, he said, I realized something quickly, is that the left And he puts his hang on to the left. He says, the left is way out here and the right is right out here.

And he said, he.

Goes, after looking at the statistics on our donations and our contributions, ninety percent of every dollar that they were coming was from the extreme far left right, the people who are just completely take away all gones, the ones that are like your Warrens, if you will, and just as far extreme left as you want to say. And he says, the other ninety percent of the dollars from the right is coming from the extreme far right that just want to ban all things and blah blah blah. So he said, where do you think the politicians are.

Going to continue going.

They're going where the money is, and unfortunately that's why politics has become more and more polarized. And looking back when I first heard him say that, which is now about ten years ago, it literally has happened through different administrations now through different even local politicians, and that some of the laws and some of the things we see here in California are so just mind numbing and mind blowing that you really do realize that they are. And I'm sure and right State same thing where they're completely going to the far right. And unfortunately, I don't see that much of an end insight in this polarization. Do you have a little bit more hope for US politics or what's what's your take on that.

I don't have hope for US politics, but I have hope for the American people. Of the American people sit within center left and center right. That's where the real elect word exists. That's where the real elect word exists. It's not on extreme fringe right and it's not on extreme fringe left.

But why is the money coming from the far extremes there? Would you say, is that just where the power is concentrated or why is that statistic?

There that the majority of the money's coming from the far left and far right.

Well, if they have an extreme agenda, then they have an extreme desire to push their agenda either far right or far left, where middle of the road people want middle road things to occur.

The electorate.

Is, you might think, is gone more towards the right, like our left isn't as left as it used to be, you know what I mean.

Yep. You know.

There are these extremists which are very fringe, you know, which should be that everyone should get a sex change, and you know, really extreme things. But the true left is we want high quality education. We want it to be affordable for everyone. We want clean air, clean water, we want a sustainable earth for our future generations. We think that taxation should be fair. You know, anyone who earns less than a half a million dollars should not be more than someone.

Who earns millions and millions of dollars.

Corporations and lobbyists have extreme amount of power. They have dollars and they use those dollars to lobby and buy politicians. You could buy a bitcoin president, yeah, right, right, You can buy a TikTok president before and then be against it.

Just depends on how much money you put into that project.

What liberals want is their children to be able to go to school without the fear of being shot. Liberals want those who work their hard forty hours should be paid their forty hours to Really, if a person gets up every morning and bust their ass, whether they're sweeping the floors or in the boardroom, that person should earn a living wage. A living wage. We can't sit there and say, well, you know, these are footstep jobs. You know, sometimes if you go to Middle America, if you drive through Indio or blythe there is nothing but sixty fast food restaurant.

People got to live there.

There is no other career or opportunity that guy should be able.

If I'm working on.

You know how hard is working in and out or in a McDonald's. It's really hard, work up on your back all day, grinding it out.

So but as a as a self described label, now would you do you have that frustration because everything you just described I look at it as the Democrats of the late eighties early nineties. I don't see the Democrat Party putting or highlighting half of what you just said as their top three agendas. It's more these extreme cultural fights that they're hitting into or or things that aren't fair for both sides, or that are kind of alienating one group.

Well, I think you're wrong. Okay, Okay, have you ever listened to speech from Barack Obama? Everything I just said is right out of his playbook.

Okay.

What had happened is politics got hijacked by the extreme right. I was born as my father is a conservative Republican. All my cousins are conservative Republicans. But guess what type of Republicans they are. They're Reagan Republicans, which is things that I also believe in. And I'll explain to you For those on the right, I'm gonna say some shocking things about what real conservatism is coming from a hardcore liberal. Number one, limited government power to the people. Shrink the government, give more power to the people. The conservatism is deregulation and allow the free markets to control things.

Okay, good or bad? Kindn't know how free markets go.

Okay, these are what conservative values mean. The Reagan was called supply side economics with some said aka trickle down economics, which is reduced tax brackets for the highest give the most incentives for the highest corporations. Those corporates will grow and they will hire people. Those people will get hired, and then that will have jobs that are trickling down whether or not they work. That was what compassionate aka George Bush conservatism meant. We are conservative in our ways, but we're compassionate our ways. We're compassionate to social things. The far right, through Christian evangelicals, took it to a whole other level. And they're the ones who play power politics. Okay, you have knocked out abortion, and then you have thirty states that have abortion regulation on the book, and most of those states do not allow for rape, do not allow for incests, do not allow for safety of the mother. Like how far right did this aspect? Now, I'll explain to you when the senator whose daughter goes to University of Kentucky and gets banged by the football team and gets pregnant by big Boy Bubba, guess where he's going to California to get a an abortion and then come right back and say, oh, we're banning abortion. They're full of shit and they are liars. As a matter of fact, abortion was never a Christian issue until the evangelicals. Only ten fifteen twenty years ago made it an issue.

Well, shit, Freddie, you know this was this. This conversation actually got me excited because I brought up a couple of and that's.

What real conservatism is, not this new age this, no, this Okay. What Donald Trump did is he ushered in a whole new error. Okay, all the Mitt Romney's, Like, the left wouldn't freak out if we're losing a Mitt Romney.

Where John McCain that was normal things, balance of power.

We go a little too far to the left, we bring in a conservative to the right, but we always played within the middle. Donald Trump changed every thing works, and that's why the left is freaked the fuck out.

Period. He doesn't get up there and talk about policy and global policy. It's insults.

It's a tax my new tack line, Lion Harris, that's this. We don't we don't have any discourse.

Like me and you. We're discussing it. Hey, you like tramps, Well, here's my position on tramp. Here's my purchaser on the border, here's the I gave you.

Actually policy opinions on how we should run a border, how we should.

Have But unfortunately that doesn't sell right, and he's he came in from an entertainer world, and he quickly The one thing we can say about him is he knows how to draw a crowd, He knows how to control about his audience, and he knows how to fan certain flames of just discourse.

And I think.

He's he's identified something in the in the political landscape that no other politician right or left has ever been able to do before. And he's now Unfortunately, there is a segment of his uh electorate, if you all, that is definitely racist, race baiting, this and that. But I also think he's tapped into people that are just sick of politics to begin with, and even though if they don't agree with fifty percent of the things that come out of his mouth, they are okay with him just blowing up the system.

To your point, the Mitt Romneys are just as pissed.

The George Bushes are just as pissed as the Clinton set up right now. And so both of those sads just say, we'd rather not vote than have to buy into buying to the system. And I think that's the thing that nobody can figure out. I don't think they fill I have the answer for it.

Yeah, that ain't that ain't the whole answer, the true answer, the fundamental answer is this. This is my opinion, and I think it is the true answer. What in the end if you scrape off all the bullshit and all the sucker shit and even abortion and even the board, well.

Not the border.

It's it's it's it's about the borderknocks plain why United States has had a majority. That majority was white Anglo Saxon. Okay, white Anglo Saxon, including the immigrants from Italy turned white Anglo Irish turned white Anglo. Their early America was a majority of white America. White America has the power, has the money, and has run this country tree for many, many, many, many, many many many years, runs most of the corporations, run most of everything. Now what we have is less propriation by White America having less children. You need at least two children just to keep the status of level of white majority.

You need three to increase white majority.

Most white families can't afford or are not having three kids.

You're lucky to get two. Okay.

So now what's happening is we have a population that is non white that is now becoming the majority.

And when you.

Scrape off all of it. It's really coming down to the power of majorities. No longer want to lose that majority. And I'll explain to you why you can't sit here and tell me that a Manhattan billionaire knows the struggle of a farmer in Iowa. You can't tell me a kid who went to Yale, their vice president who was a venture capitalist.

Knows the struggle of Detroit, Michigan. This is not it because he has never ever hung out with them, never hung out with the farmers, and never hung out with.

The past five presidents. Could you say the same about it? I mean, all of them are kind of pretend like.

That because we hollowed out we hollowed out Middle America. What the powerful people did is they decided the corporations that we keep giving power to says, oh, we can build this cheaper and have more profit if we send those Middle America jobs to foreign countries. Okay, And so that begins to hollow out things. So what does America become. We become a nation of ideas and management, Like we create an invent the iPhone, but we haven't built somewhere else. And then we manage people who manage things. If you walk around his room, everybody's managing somebody, right, Okay, if you really want to talk about Biden's record, the largest growth of manufacturing jobs in American history since the Industrial Revolution. Our Infrastructure Bill are dollars that go directly into United States jobs and infrastructure into this country. Bringing back the Chips act of the most powerful thing because we give up control of Korea and China on allowing those ships to develop and that put power out to them. Okay, the largest investment in climate change in history. If people can play ore so hot outside, you know what we're having the Florida coast ripped and ravaged, or New Jersey coast ripped and ravage, or wildfires across California.

This isn't a joke about all of something things.

No, no fossil fuse of creators, and your children are not gonna be a believed. There are already parts of this world that are uninhabitable for humans. Already already we have climate change migrants. Okay, so we have. When we look back, Biden's four years will be looked at as an FDR and his accomplishments and a bipartisan the most a in a Senate with just a vice president who is the final veto vote, and a three to five person majority in the House. So so if you if you look at those things, you're gonna really look at who a guy from Scranton who took the train from Pennsylvania to Washington was really a man for the people.

Yeah, I you know, I think we've covered a lot on today's show. I think one of my favorite parts about this is we can have these healthy conversations. I can't tell you how much I disagree on some of the stuff you say, but a lot of things I thought we would disagree on, we actually agreed on. One of the things that excites me. I don't like to talk about politics financial friend, we can talk about nothing about finance, but there is a money component to all of this, because I think even I mean, if we're gonna we're gonna run this back several other times. And I'm even thinking of maybe doing an election night special and having a couple of you know, just a posing viewpoints and people that can have healthy debate, because I think that's what's missing. I've kind of hesitated to talk about politics too much, but sometimes if you can have healthy ideas expressed in a healthy way. Maybe you're just making the world a little bit at least the United States a little bit better. Are supposed to get people constantly fighting, So I think it'd be great to have you back on and just really dive into these I know I threw a couple of just different laws at you. I think next time I'm gonna actually let you digest in to them. And I'd love for you to throw me a couple to be like, hey, tee, I know this is your viewpoint. You dive into this, you give me three, I'm gonna give you three, and let's kind of have that debate with both of us doing some research, because then we can actually either change each other's minds or maybe agree in the middle.

See and if you can give me two more minutes, go ahead. This is what it's about. See is a healthy discourse because policy is very deep and it has multiple layers. America has gotten such a lack of being able to keep someone's attention that we have to wind I have to wind every them to a meme or to a three second video. And the border policy is not a three second video.

Abortion is not a three second It's not a.

Three second video gender qualities, not three second video, and I don't have This is the reason why I'm doing some comedy even though i'm is because the only place where you can have an opportunity to speak, like I want to speak to people because one I want to hear your side, and two I understand your side, and three.

Two sides can be right.

There isn't okay, Freddy wan Tony one, No, it's not. It's like, wait up, I think I'm not left right. I think we're back to what I said before.

America.

We want a reasonable border policy.

We don't want to give up rights to our children to decide because I'm an agreement out of twelve year olds, like get a face tattoo.

You know, bro, you might change your mind. Yeah, you know what I mean.

So I'm with you on you know, like we come.

Back to this ninety percent because once you start to hear that I actually was a hardcore understanding of Reagan amics and Reagan policy coded or George Bush.

Well, you're lucky you didn't pissed me off today, Freddy, because I'm gonna come help with you on Sunday.

And if you don't agree with this few points it doesn't matter.

Come check out his show this weekend over at the Ice House this Sunday, Pasadena, California. We'll be there.
