They're doing it BECAUSE he's a mad man and they think that they can ride the same tiger, that they can control him and his true base. They cannot, and are simply empowering him. Their submission paves the way for what comes next, just like the submission of Republicans brought us to where we are now.

I am not sure why Democrats didn’t scream bloody murder. This election stinks but be very clear. Kamala Harris won this election in a landslide and Donald Trump SELECTED TO BE THE PRESIDENT.
I really wish you’d put the whole episodes on here. It’s more captivating than having to only listen to it. I love being able to see both of your faces
@ Epstein was friends with a lot of successful, prominent people, including Trump and Clinton. However, just because they were in a photograph together at a party/dinner, it doesn't prove these people were complicit in Epstein's sexual abuse scandal.
@@djammer Many prominent, rich people were pictured at Epstein's parties/dinners, including Trump and Clinton. That doesn't mean these people were complicit in Epstein's other activities.
Whether or not they will seek retribution is hardly the feckn point. In a civilised democracy your fate would be determined under the rule of law not the Executive’s caprice. The acceptance of that principle is historically devastating to both the USA and wider world.
Fiduciary responsibility to shareholder interests (profits) is a legalized rationalization to suborning criminality and bribery. It is absurdly amoral and the idea that the law works this way is tragic.
When Reid Hoffman says "To be charitable" I say why? When he says "Let's hope there isn't too much of this kind of thing in the future," I say he is naive.
At first I thought you were speaking about Sen. Harry Reid…the most shameless shakedown artist…and definitely a master of mob tactics being from Nevada (Las Vegas).
Absolutely correct at the 04:10 mark. The people with the money who needed to fight and didn't are the ones who are guilty of setting the precedent. If the ones with the money won't fight, the ones without have no choice but to shut up.
There are far too many Americans, including elected officials & appointees, who haven't the slightest inkling of what it means to live under fascism (and you do only live under fascism. Not with it, not within it, not as a free person governed by it... you live by the dictates of "Dear Leader"... the dissatisfaction and misery of the people be damned). People who voted for this or sat out need a close up and personal experience with a country where the law changes direction based on the whims, ego, vanity, malignant narcissism of someone insane and vile enough to become an authoritarian leader. They need to experience what it means to be the innocent target of someone maintaining cult of personality (who hasn't the faintest idea who they are) while caring less than zero about consequences that arise from their incessant lies directed at innocent bystanders... and especially those who are already marginalized.
Would love to see you do a video about ranked choice voting and why Republicans/Heritage society hates it! Also, could democrats start the snow ball by doing it in their primaries?
@chadmueller1784 It would include all rich people everywhere. I'm done with their takes. Most of them were just incredibly lucky in one way or another, but people assume they're worth listening to because they're rich. It's idiotic
@@CT-vm4gf That's certainly a problem, along with people thinking that because Reid Hoffman made a billion dollars telling a bunch of engineers to build a social media site for work (dumb), then he should be involved in directing tax policy or some shit. Wealth has no connection with intelligence. Don Jr is rich. He's also a moron.
Silicon Valley was always primarily self interested and transactional, but there was a social contract and the norms of a civil society to moderate behavior. Silicon Valley is now naked in their ambition and self interests. Ironically, it is an authoritarian administration needing to validate their own depravity to clear the way and Silicon Valley didn’t need much persuading. All of this is self destructive and will take us down with them. My advice to all is rise to the occasion and defend instituitions, the rule of law and the better angels of our nature. Also beware of the dehumanization of a minority. It has already started and will escalate further.
Yes, he can continue until your country resembles Russia or any other country. America is not exceptional. However, knowing human history, especially American history, there is a limit to what can be tolerated. Until then, we are observing your situation as a learning experience.

The ‘shareholder moralist’ is perplexing to me. Can we get an episode that discusses this? Cause it just doesn’t make sense to me. And preferably one that isn’t just Scot proselytizing lol
The media has to move away from cable news and mainstream news like the NYT and WPO which are caving out of fear. The information has to move to places like this, podcasts, substack, bluesky, etc. The are news periodicals which still actually care about the truth and what is happening to our country like the Atlantic. I hope that Kara can actually buy the WPO. Maybe a GO fund me effort that is if Bezos will sell.

Prof G: Do you really think the chill is being felt by MAGA or by those who pay no attention to public issues? I imagine that MAGA is inspired by trump going after all of those “enemies of the people.” It’s part of what makes this all so hard imo. The snake oil is potent.

Because they have no moral compass either. Appearing at times as if they did, is the facade. Revealing that they don’t is the mask off.
Because they too are madmen with no moral compass and most importantly driven by greed
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What irony - $25 million going to a library for a person who can barely read.

The road to fascism is paved with people who said “ Don’t worry, it’s all rhetoric .”
When you hear those words, know that you’re being played.
Trump is harming the mental health of everyone.
Class action
Good one.
Not only is it a bribe but look what it says to the believers!
The logical end to unregulated capitalism. Oligarchy and fascism.
Can we talk about media capitulation too? Scott, you’re a big fan of Bill Maher. I once was. Please speak to him.
Cant handle having your own sides crap called out aswell? maybe stick Stephen Colbert if you want a one sided shill
Thank you Scott, we all need to do the same thing. This is our Democracy.

Reid Hoffman! Nice to see a prominent figure from the tech world who hasn't totally capitulated to Trump's lunacy.
Jeffrey Epstein’s buddy though
@@djammerTrump was his buddy. Hoffman was looking for donations.

You justify a lot in your mind if your primary mode of existence is defined by profits and growth.

Strength in numbers. Bunch of people stand with Scott, Reid, and Kara.

Thanks for all the REAL news!!! I will keep posting your videos on my Facebook page!!

Preach, Prof. Fascist handbook is wide open in the tiny petty hands.
It really feels like Reid is equivocating to avoid being targeted. Call this out LOUD AND CLEAR as the blatant corruption it is.
Gotta' say he wreaked of fear. And predators feed on that scent.
WE are still waiting for the bridge too far??? Wow.
Hi Tech Bros, have you met my friend Luigi?
Scott is right.
Luigi Mangione figured out the most efficient way to solve income and wealth inequality.

I don't give a sh** what rich people think anymore.
Then you clearly cannot give a sh** about what the Trump administration has to say about anything.
@chadmueller1784 It would include all rich people everywhere. I'm done with their takes. Most of them were just incredibly lucky in one way or another, but people assume they're worth listening to because they're rich. It's idiotic

Fascism is here.
"The Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency ordered a pause on all events and activities related to Black History Month, MLK Day, Juneteenth and more."
Are they American companies operating globally? Or are they global companies HQed in America?
Maybe we can't get off fossil fuels when we have the attitude to egregiously burn natural gas as a decorative background to a vanity video.
How do cable cars work?
Why can’t Reid speak?
How about starting a fund to provide security for Milley and Bolton?
What about your comments after Pennsylvania Scott?
Great interview with Reid Hoffman!
Trump with a library?😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 oxymoronic

This guy cannot complete a sentence without weighing every single word and putting "air quotes" into all he says. Agonizing.
Reid don’t believe the people around him. He has proven to ignore what those around him say.
Cowards for Profit!
The muddiness and "flexibility" of Reid's thinking is a bit sad.
Will we get his health assessment from his doctor. I'm willing to bet he has Diabetes Type 2 and is a candidate for open heart surgery.
I generally ike Hoffman, however his initial response was seriously
wish~ washy .. at Best
I appreciate different perspectives but Hoffman is being naive here
He funded the lawsuit that proved Trump is a rapist so maybe cut him some slack?
Reid sure sounds scared to call these intimidation tactics what they are.
Dave Ramsey voted for this guy...without hesitation. Go figure. I know he is rich and lives in a red state, but he must enjoy democracy!?!?
The notion of a Trump presidential library is absurd. He doesn't even read.
Where is Obama throughout all this?
Bring back the draft, no exceptions for the >1%'ers, Lesbians, Homosexuals, or even bone-spurs.
Americans should pay attention to? Seriously. The Americans who voted for Trump don’t care. You are otherwise preaching to the choir.
Did you say deeply un-American? Welcome to the new america. Half the country loves it.
Remember what Carlin said.
“Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”
The stupider half of Americans all voted for Trump.
This is straight out of the Michael Cohen playbook. (Trumps Michael Cohen from the 1980s). Watch movie “The Apprentice”
Project 2025!

For a man that never reads, is so disturbed is going to have a library ever is ludicrous. It will be a senseless victim museum when we are done.

Wow. Hold on. A library for Trump would be the perfect arena for Trump to burn books. Nazism 2.0 .
