Milton Friedman had a provocative take on fixing government: forget about electing saints. The problem isn't bad politicians—it's bad incentives. Put anyone in office, and they'll respond to the same pressures, the same drives, the same structural defects in our political system. The real solution? Make doing the right... show more

Milton Friedman on why losses are just as important as profits: “A free-enterprise system is a profit-and-loss system, and never forget the loss part. If you have a system in which losses are eliminated, you will eliminate the heart of a free-enterprise system, which is to make people responsible for their own actions and to provide a system under which they are induced to use their resources effectively, under which if they engage in bad ventures, they get out. That’s the fundamental difference between the market and government.”

Jake Tapper: I get it, the weaponization against Trump was bad, but now he's doing the same thing to others. No Fake Tapper, you don't get it. When people came on your show and pointed out the Biden Admin's lawfare against Trump, you defended the administration and said "there's no proof of weaponization" and "no one is above the law." Now with Trump in office, you don't need proof anymore to see lawfare, you can just sense it and it's so bad for democracy. 😜 This is CNN.

Trump on Venezuela: We have had a great relationship with the people that are currently -- they say the interim president and everyone else…That was a great country 20 years ago and then it went bad because it had the wrong system, a bad system. That system can make good people bad people or incompetent people.

"It's not enough to just change the politicians if you've still got the same people running the bureaucracy." Peachy Keenan and I agree that both political systems in the UK and US are in bad shape. "The rot is really pretty deep." Peachy Keenan

Nick TORCHES jеws for having a victim mindset just like black people "In the same way we all know you have to treat black people with kid gloves because they'll think you're racist, it's the same way with jеws. People just don't make that connection."

This wasn't "the white man". This wasn't racism. This wasn't the system. This was black people harming black people. We have a serious problem. The same energy we would have if it was a group of white people doing this to a black mom and her child is the same energy we need to have now. Those children need to be held accountable and parents need to be doing a MUCH better job. This is completely unacceptable. We need to be more accountable and make better decisions. Our standard is FAR TOO LOW.

In Web 1.0 people thought if you owned the browser you owned the Internet. It turned out to be wrong— the value was in solving problems. Today, you don't need to be a chipmaker or an AI research lab— you just need to solve real problems. It's the same as it ever was.

Tillis: These people don't deserve restitution. Many of them deserve to be in prison. This is just stupid on stilts. Reporter: Do you think you have colleagues that share the same concerns— Tillis: They do and they need to speak up. This is beyond the pale. This is not good for my colleagues. There's not one positive thing that could be spun out of this between now and November. This is bad policy. It's bad timing, and it's bad politics

It's your weekly video. Did you know that we don't need the federal government, or even the president, to make massive, important progress on fixing our criminal legal system? It's the races in your backyard--judges, prosecutors, and state lawmakers who matter a LOT MORE.

Canada is back in the spotlight and this isn’t noise, it’s signal. Everyone jokes about Greenland or “buying countries,” but that’s not what’s actually happening. This is about strategy, energy, and defense. You don’t build a North American security and energy framework without Canada in the middle. Period. Same thing with policy. Bad policy drives capital away. Smart deregulation brings it back, fast. I don’t shill for politicians. I follow incentives, capital flow, and outcomes. A lot is changing right now, and if you know how to read the signal through the noise, the opportunity is obvious.

We all want the same thing: to stop health care costs from skyrocketing and to reopen the government. Why is there a problem here? Trump and Republicans just need to get in the room with us to work this out for the American people.
