We need to understand where these charities are deploying the dollars or how they're spending them and how much of every dollar is going towards the good versus the management. You know what I'm saying? So all that stuff is really key. And I think a lot of us are scared of philanthropy because we just don't know where the money is going. And it's very hard to understand philanthropy.
that way there's a dollar here and at the end of it we hear stories like we end up with like 10 cents you know like towards the cause and the rest of it is just all like managing and marketing and stuff like so we if we could get a better understanding of that i think it'll make a big difference and i think the brand's spending money or contributing money to these causes and the educators saying that hey but it's like 80 of the every dollar is going to go towards the good you know then it's like oh great awesome that makes a lot more sense
You know, it's an interesting question. And because I'm not the, you know, the living beyond, you know, the years thing, because I see that eventually happening anyway. Something they're doing with cats, right? A cat can live to like 35 soon with this injection. You know, it's really it's kidney related. It's only a matter of time before they figure us out.
We'll be in the 125s before our lifetime's over, whatever it is. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. But I think that from the standpoint of dividing up your empire or your legacy at the end of it, I don't really have a lot to say about that because I think that once you identify... It's kind of like going back to the last question. Once you identify where...
the best places are for, you know, like the, the best, the, you know, most efficient, inefficient places to put the money in as far as like the most good will be contributed. 80, 85% of every dollar is, you know, is actually activated, you know, that kind of thing. Then you can figure that out. But I think that from a legacy standpoint, it depends on everyone's,
you know, family structure and who's left and and all that stuff. But I, you know, from my standpoint, I've done a lot of really interesting things, you know, about, you know, asset. I don't know if you want to call it, you know, visibility or, you know, protection and stuff like that. But a lot of it has to do with it.
But and you can you can be charitable causes yourself, you know, and from that standpoint and structures and I own nothing myself and everything's in Cook Islands and in another
nevis corp and stuff like that you know so you know there's there's um there's ways to to make it a lot more um simpler and dealing with the taxes a lot more easier too if you keep the assets out of the country if they're in another another country that is you know that is kind of shielded so
This is an easy one for me. Yes, I'm very peaceful. I'm probably one of the calmest people you'll meet. And I think a lot of it has to do with control. Right. How much control do we personally have over a lot of stuff that's going on? Like, I'll even give you another example, which is really close to home. It's like, hey, I'm not I'm not a liberal. OK.
And I'm not really I'm not a Trump fanatic either. I'm like somewhere in the middle. Right. Somewhere in the middle. It's a thing that we can't control in California, unfortunately. It's really weird. Am I saying don't go out and vote? I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that just be prepared for the outcome because California is a liberal state. It's a blue state, so it's kind of crazy.
Things like what's going on in Palestine, what's going on in Israel, what's all that stuff. What's going on? In Ukraine still, by the way, what's happening in Russia and Ukraine and all these other places. Hey, by the way, I was at every demonstration here in L.A. You saw me with the flags. The Ukraine, when the Ukraine war started, I was in Ukraine one week before the war started.
And then the war happened. And it's very close to home for me because I have a pretty big team in Ukraine. I bought a company in 2015 in Ukraine. And so these people are, you know, they're, you know, they're great. They're like family to me. You know, so I have a very close tie to Ukraine. But.
you know, there's demonstrations and I went to all of them and you know, we're like all about it and pushing it all on social media and nothing changed, right? I'm not like saying that don't do anything and don't voice your opinions and I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that voicing your opinions
And creating conflict and tension between friends and local, you know, neighborhoods and like communities is not the way to go because we do not have any fucking control over any of this at all. Us demonstrating here all over L.A. for Ukraine for like months. Not once did Putin say, damn, there's Ted's over there in Beverly Hills. You know what? I got to stop. This is embarrassing.
Ted is judging me over there, you know, and his friends, those guys. They're there. You know, I got to stop. I got to stop. You know, he didn't do that once. You know, I was doing all that shit. So he didn't didn't affect the war in Ukraine at all. OK, what's going on with Palestine? In Israel. I'm going to talk about something really, really controversial here.
There's a cafe here called Moro's Cafe. Behind Fred Siegel, used to be Fred Siegel on Melrose. Great place, love the food. I still go there. Nobody goes there anymore because there was a lot of Israeli demonstrators, a lot of stuff going on over there because they got really upset that the owner was demonstrating in front of a place of worship, in front of a Jewish temple on a Sunday.
Jews worship on a Saturday. Not on a Sunday. What was happening there on a Sunday was an auction for land in settlements in the Gaza, right? Which is an illegal auction, by the way. And she was protesting that illegal auction. And they got videos of her
know protesting in front of a synagogue right and they they those videos went viral they went all over the internet and they came over there death threats for her and and they're protesting there and like all this crazy crazy stuff i mean they're threatening to kill her they're threatening to kill her employees they you know they boycotted the restaurant they did all this crazy stuff
and you know people are not going to the restaurant anymore i mean i still go there food's great you know i will continue to go there because it's great i'm not involved in any of that and also at the same time what happened the war end because people stopped going to this restaurant did the war end did anything happen did the israeli prime minister say hey you know what Good looking out.
That's great. Or do the Palestinians come and say something? No one said anything because no one fucking... We can't affect what's going on over there. We just don't have any impact. It's their war. We are entitled to have feelings about it. We have friends that are affected by it personally because their families are affected by it. I have friends in Israel, in Tel Aviv.
