Billionaire

The Winged Mammal.

Yeah, Billionaire, Billionaire Dark Knight.

[laughs]

There you go.

And I understand that it's supposed to be a movie.

And Andrew Garfield was out there saying, I hate billionaires.

Billionaires is a movie about hating billionaires, blah, blah, blah.

Okay.

That's what the uprising is.

Like if it's not that serious, then it's just like one of those situations where it's like, "Oh no, Mr.

Billionaire, I guess you're gonna have to stop launching satellites for a year." Like-

All right, so a- Google AI overview, as I have up right here.

I just pushed in how long to clear the Kessler threshold.

But, man, it's really something.

It's like they have this guy with Billionaire, and he's like, I'm going to build an NFL team.

And that's what they've done.

Yeah,

And what I've discovered, so I've worked, let me just preface this.

I've worked with four Oscar winners, three Grammy winners, three Olympic medalists, right? Billionaires, it's like, and what most of those people think is they've got this hole inside of them.

And when I get this Oscar, when I get this gold medal, when I get this Grammy, when I make a billion dollars, then that hole will be filled, right? Yeah.

And that whole started, I don't know, when they were a kid or some other thing, some other place.

Our first guest is Gabriel Zucman.

He is a UC Berkeley economist and author of the admirably straightforwardly named book, We Need to Tax Billionaires.

He helped to develop the proposition.

Welcome, Gabriel.

And so in anticipation of this annual tax, they are going to move.

Look, I don't hide my belief that I think eventually California, other states, and the US as a whole will need some form of annual wealth tax.

You did write a book called We Need To Tax Billionaires.

[laughs]

That's the top priority here.

Billionaires in the corporate class have had unfettered access to the fifth floor.

One of the reasons why billionaires and millionaires are lining up against me and they're raising hundreds of millions of dollars TO DEFEAT ME IS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WANT TO PRIORITIZE WORKING PEOPLE.

AND THAT'S WHY EVEN AFTER I ANNOUNCED YESTERDAY I'M LEADING A WORKING CLASS EFFORT TO CONTINUE TO TAKE OUR WORK DIRECTLY TO THE NEIGHBORHOODS SO THAT THE PEOPLE OF CHICAGO KNOW THAT THEY'RE ALWAYS GOING TO BE FRONT AND CENTER UNDER MY LEADERSHIP.

You just put some money in there and you can be a millionaire in 20 years." "Hmm.

S- like treasury bond market? Like international? Is it stocks or something? Like 'The Wolf on Wall Street'? Oh, it's like 'Billionaire' as a show, huh?" "No, it's just TSP.

You just throw some money in there, close your eyes, roll some dice, and in 20 years you're gonna be a millionaire." Bro, that's all you get.

If I'm lying, and y'all let me know.
