And, you know, give Ro Khanna credit. The representative out of San Francisco, he's doing a lot on social media. He doesn't have as much power, but he's calling for term limits. And I think because we're looking at, you know, again, I'm 29. I'm not I don't. I'm just out here just calling citizen journalism on X, being like, this is ridiculous.
Let me build with my, like my skillset is I feel like I can do, I know how to use social media algorithms and I know how to build a product to get people involved in it. Let me use this as the best way in my ability as an American citizen to promote change, to bring trust back into the institutions. A big part of the problem looking at it is like, what are these 85 year olds doing? I agree. And
You know, for 30 years.
My mom's a pediatrician. I know.
Oh, for sure.
Yeah, this topic gets a lot of conversation on TikTok and Instagram in particular. Just mainly because it's like warmongering, not warmongering. The idea of even being able to profit from war probably shouldn't be allowed. Of course not. But they do. And whether they do it inherently or not, the three main companies are Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, and Raytheon Technologies.
Raytheon's hard because Raytheon is the company behind Israel's Iron Dome. So Israel and Hamas, that's pro-Raytheon. Raytheon's now selling missiles for the Iron Dome that we're watching on X go off every two days back then with Iran and all that and Lebanon. But The politicians, Mark Wayne Mullen, he sits on the Armed Services Committee. He owns Raytheon and Lockheed Martin.
And we've called them out for it because that's to another degree because you sit on the committee. Never heard anything about it. Unusual Wales has a great report on this.
Yeah. So this is what's the problem with the way that they disclose right now is I don't know which ones are theirs or which ones are being run by a financial advisor. Because some of them have financial advisors running their portfolios, but they still have to disclose it. My hope is that it's financial advisors running some of these portfolios.
five minutes. That's all it takes. Right. Yeah. And again, this is, and you put that out there publicly and he still owns those. Yeah. We call out everybody. Yeah. Yeah. There's no one that we, I, there's no policy. Like we called out the new politician this morning. Um, can't remember his name. A Republican from Kentucky who sits on the accountability, um, committee.
He traded for the first time in three years. We made a tweet about him. Uh, Dan Goldman, uh, So Dan Goldman, he's a rich guy from New York. We called him out to the point where he stopped trading because we were making all these tweets of like- Well, he's got a ton of inherited money. A ton of inherited money, yeah. And credit to him, but I think this is the power of social media.
And I think this is a win, in my opinion, is like- Put it in a blind trust or just tell your – while you're a freaking politician, just go put it in the market. Like just don't buy individual stocks for the four or five years, eight, ten years.
Just put it in an index fund. Yeah, it's not – just do what everyone else is doing. Well, that's such a good point. It's not rocket science. And that's why I don't feel bad for calling out anybody because it's like Dan Crenshaw. You're going to complain about it. Just sell out of it and go put it in an index fund. No one's stopping you.
And that's why, like, if you were to ask me, what is the solution? I think the solution is kind of two things for how do you solve this whole thing? And again, like our mission is we're trying to instill trust back in society. Like I'm pro-America. You know, I want my grandkids to do well. I don't think a society functions if you can't trust your institutions. That's right.
And it starts with the politicians. Like look at... I'm going off on a tangent, but I live in LA. California... your heart breaks for it. And then you just start like, I don't know what to believe. Cause these, you got Newsome, you got everything going on on X, there's conflicting sides and you go on and you say, Hey, if you loot, you will get arrested. Okay, you guys are telling me that.
I've watched for the past two years, everybody loot and no one get arrested. So you're now at this point where we're supposed to trust you on this fact that, oh, if you loot now, you'll get arrested. Meanwhile, you've promoted and incentivized that behavior for people to get away with it. And what do you think happens? No one's going to believe you. The trust is gone.
Yeah, I haven't seen it in particular, but I mean, you can't walk into a CVS. The amount of times I've walked into CVS and your heart breaks for the little girl behind the cashier having to deal with these guys just walking in and out. Because you do see it, and it's scary. That's looting on smaller proportions, but you for sure see it in California. I think it's major.
Exactly. I'm a first principle thinker. I think it's trust. I just don't think people trust that things will get done. And now if you take it out, I love California. I don't think it's as bad as people make it sound. But if you can't trust the politicians, society crumbles. And I see with the trading, if you can't trust the majority of politicians, America will crumble.
Because why would I believe what the politician is telling me while I'm watching them do these other things right in front of my face and I can't do anything about it. So we want them banned to get the trust back into that. But the problem with the ban is, if in that ban, you would have to ban the kids and you would have to ban the spouses from trading.
Is it constitutionally allowed to say, hey, say you're a senator from Florida and you're like, hey, Tucker, You want to be a senator, that's fine. But per the Stock Act now, your kids can't trade stocks and your spouse can't trade stocks. What if your kid is a hedge fund manager or your kid is, you know, like, how do you ban that kid?
