Why is measuring debt, like, purely against GDP the wrong way to judge the US? Um, yeah.

Jeff YassGUEST
Well, I think, you know, if we have a problem, you, you wanna diagnose the problem, uh, correctly, otherwise you obviously can't fix it.

Jeff YassGUEST
So we have roughly $31 trillion in debt, and we have a GDP of roughly $31 trillion, which we get the 100% number from.

Jeff YassGUEST
But the United States, unlike other countries, has a wealth that is vastly superior to its GDP.

Jeff YassGUEST
So our wealth is probably seven times our GDP, you know, uh, close to $230 trillion.

Jeff YassGUEST
That's because our stock market is worth $80 trillion or, um, or two and ... more than two and a half times our GDP, while other countries, particularly Europe, China, their stock market value and their GDPs are roughly one to one.

Like, what is the big myth around consumer pl- surplus? What are most people kind of who are vilifying billionaires don't understand about consumer surplus?

Why not let every single American, instead of having to put their payroll tax money into this black box of social security, why not let them own things? I mean, think of how much wealth would have been created for average Americans if that money, if their social security dollars were in owning companies like Google and SpaceX.

On the biggest stage in the world, FanDuel's changing the game because sometimes your player gets subbed off and your bet goes with them.

Jeff YassGUEST
If your player leaves a match, your bet continues on with the substitute, so you're still in it until the final whistle.

Steve MooreHOST
We could probably raise, I don't know, 200 to $300 billion in tax revenues because people would take advantage of that lower rate and the government would get, additional money to reduce our deficit uh well i love that idea jeff but also well well first let's take on that one so because you really came up with this concept how would it work

Jeff YassGUEST
well first of all steve you're uh you're being too way too conservative it's way more than two or three hundred billion dollars i would think it's well over a trillion months wow himself wow he's just made a trillion dollars If he handed in 15% of his stock, he loans $150 billion.

Jeff YassGUEST
So the way it would work, we would say to anyone, even if it's in your personal account or if you're Elon Musk or anybody, instead of waiting to pay 23.8% capital gains tax, where you have these stocks that you don't really wanna own, but you don't wanna pay the taxes.

The supposed champion of minorities came out, called us dastardly and said that waving money in front of kids' faces for his evil capitalist plan is, you know, despicable.
