What was that experience like?
33:00
Yeah, you know what's kind of missing is top performers can change their mind based on new evidence and can like...
33:07
So I started off as an entrepreneur when I was in high school, and then my dad lost his company 'cause one of his partners stole it all and went back to Greece.
33:16
And so we went from well, like well off to no money.
33:19
And, and that was just before I went to university.
33:21
So I had to work full-time in university, and I kinda went from a conservative who thought anybody who didn't have money was lazy to seeing that people could have misfortune, right? And then I watched my dad not be able to get a job, and it kinda broke my heart because of all that stuff, and I was like...
33:35
So I kinda grew my hair out, you know, became a bit of a hippie, went to a couple Grateful Dead concerts, not aging it, it was at the end of their tours.

15 MINS LATER

48:41
That's suicide.
10:39
Anyone should know.
10:43
there is a case i think somebody's got to bring the case there but everybody's kind of scared to do it because they'll be labeled you know racist or something you know what i mean because they're going after essentially a community in the downtown cores that's where most of this is coming from whereas doing a lawsuit on behalf of sexual assault victims is much more politically politically expedient but i would say in this particular case there is a lawsuit against the government either it's the ministry of attorney general the crown or system but there's some immunity that exists for judges so you have to sue the you have to sue the institution that's allowing this regime to put this the people at risk and the argument is it's foreseeable that if you have bail releases like this that there's going to be harm done like as you so eloquently say the guy tortured somebody for 15 000 bucks smuggled in drugs it's foreseeable he's going to go out and do more crimes he's not going to go be an ideal citizen before his uh Society needs to get a grip on themselves because we've just been kind of lulled into this sense of we can't do anything to change things.
11:46
We can do things to change things.
11:48
They have to be tough, and you have to have courage, and you've got to be prepared to piss off a lot of the people on the fringes who are ready to call out that you're not being fair to everybody.
11:57
But first and foremost, we have to protect our citizens from those who do.
12:02
The crime stats show that's like 4% of people doing these crimes.

5 MINS LATER

17:12
And now it's back like this.
17:16
Well, just as kind of entitlement generation, it's weird because I think a lot of young people want to have to work hard and struggle, but if they're just handed free things by adults, right? They get in the habit of thinking they're entitled to free things.
24:41
What do you think?
24:43
First of all, I think most polls are now BS.
24:45
The type of people who are going to vote for Spencer Pratt aren't answering the phone of some numpties saying, you know what I mean? And then there's also social desirability bias.
24:54
People say what they think people... want to hear rather than what they're going to do.
24:58
And so we're seeing now that the traditional way of doing polls is not reliable.
25:02
Spencer Pratt is putting on a masterclass in how conservatives need to win elections.
25:08
And you and I, I think, are going to enter into a bet that I think he's going to win the mayorship.
27:48
And so what is the experience? Who do you want to lead it? An actual card-carrying communist at one point or a guy who at least has passion because his life was ruined because of these fires?
