- That financial markets are rigged
- Why you should ignore and stay away from crypto
- His thoughts on why Elon Musk is power drunk and ignorant

BEST MOMENTS
"If it's a government started crisis... like a collapse in faith in the U.S. government, in the U.S. government debt then it's much bigger than the financial crisis because there's nothing to put it out."
"We have a president here whose M.O. is to destroy trust. He's really good at it, he finds places where people trust people or institutions that are trusted, and he wrecks them."
"The markets work, it's constant game theory, once something's identified, it's no longer useful and it's a game where the rules change every day."
"Is Elon Musk a net benefit to humanity or a megalomaniac?"

| 0:00.0 | Michael, are we close to the biggest crash in history? |
| 0:04.8 | I don't know how close we are, but if it happens, it will be the biggest crash. |
| 0:08.9 | And there's a reason. |
| 0:10.1 | The last crash, the financial crisis, it was a situation where financial institutions |
| 0:15.6 | got themselves in trouble and a grown-up could walk into the room. |
| 0:18.6 | The grown-up was called the government. |
| 0:20.5 | And the government could say, look, calm down everybody. |
| 0:22.7 | We can sort of cover these risks and everybody calm down. |
| 0:26.4 | Right now, the source of unsettledness and the potential source of crisis are governments, |
| 0:32.7 | our government in particular, the United States government. |
| 0:35.6 | And if it's a government-started crisis, like a collapse in faith in the U.S. government |
| 0:42.9 | and U.S. government debt, then it's, yes, then it's much bigger than the financial crisis |
| 0:47.9 | because there's nothing to put it out. |

| 0:50.9 | There's no, there's no, there's no safe place. |
| 0:53.4 | So Robert |
| 0:54.4 | Giyosaki in 2014 said the crash would be February 2025, which is now. Well, you know, |
| 1:03.5 | I, I, that's, that's interesting. But, but I, and I hate to say this, but it is true, |
| 1:10.3 | that whenever the crash happens, someone will have predicted it because at any given time, people are predicting everything. |
| 1:18.4 | And it doesn't necessarily mean that they were smart, that they were right. |
| 1:22.7 | So I'd be wary of people who tell you, like, unless they have some really persuasive explanation |
| 1:29.4 | as to why, I'd be really wary about people making those sort of predictions. |
