ly not highlighting what should have happened it's just that there's this easy solution to kill everything you just could have done that but never mind he's shown up said hi America can you use your powers to take me to a universe where my kids are alive or I got some kids and my version of died in there and I'll use my magic to make up an explanation or whatever could you do that for me? thanks awesome bye did she explode or magic her little self right out of there she's fine there's no win there yeah nothing certainly not if she actually comes back you're asking what happened and saying it's a win we'd have to call that a zero the closest you could get to a point is that he's highlighted something that you might miss but I just don't think that's enough you need more nobody misses that right surely I don't think many people would have missed it but there's going to be people like that oh there is a little red thing it's too bad though gotta be one hell of an incursion nice she's talking about them incursioning zero zero if your lady refers to your love life as incursions I don't know man I love you every universe no it's a lie though it's not wrong it's not correct I'm actually half tempted to say that's a negative one that's just a respect and it's not good if it's true that's bad you love her in every universe you love the her that kills people you love the her that's a psycho you love the her that hates you destroy it everything is possible unconditional love is bad that's true there's no point because the cow guy is alive well the bull I guess bull guy is alive I'm glad he's okay not every sorcerer is dead I guess I hope that he's getting some counseling after getting tortured by Wanda though yeah watching all of his friends fucking get vaporized I hope that they have a magic spell yeah it's lucky that he's alive honestly it is a long job but him saying he's alive what do we do with that zero it's just a zero it's a zero it's like saying oh look I was curious if you guys wanted to go with negative one because it's not highlighted like the horrors but you know it's just he's alive yeah I'm also glad he's alive yeah that's a zero the dimension hopping sorcerer sounds tight no it doesn't sound as fucking horrific and I never want to see your face again it's another zero sometimes I wonder about my other lives and I remain gonna pause for copyright boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop we should do that no that's fucking shit it was one of the most basic resolutions of the yeah it is a resolution of that idea I don't agree with what he's saying that we should do that be like think about all of your alternate first off how is that supposed to help me like if I've got a shitty life and things are going bad for me and I watch this movie and I hear Wong saying what am I supposed to do think about all of the ways things could have been and been like well I'm this way it's funny right because this movie came out not too far away from everything ever all at once which tackles the subject of how should you feel about your not lived lives your paths not taken to be fair that film is like basically all about that while this one is not but it's still cringe that this one's like you know what the conclusion is okay it's fine whereas everything that's far more sophisticated and nuanced perspective on all of it oh yeah they spent time on it this probably is zero there's something happening here but all you've said we should do what Wong said that's it you could you could have made a point here no Wong rules but also respect Wong is shit I don't hate Wong I like Wong a lot I don't like anyone in the MCU I guess at this point except for maybe Spider-Man and yeah and uh well I sort of a pending just see what happens there there's some like nebula I'd still I'm Rocket Craglin yeah we're already into like your sharing characters Cosmo we're talking about Craglin Cosmo like they're okay I like them Wong was in She-Ho and he was terrible John Walker John Walker indeed Zemo of course Zemo was risen to like the top 5 oh no oh no well I got you through listen we did how many like 8 hours or something on Guardian 3 don't give it a listen if you want to know what we think you're not going to like it 8 hours we're complaining about length right yeah they gotta say short man bad as soon as we have this stream so the thing about this is that it's a payoff for that thing earlier in the film but he's not highlighting that he's just saying respect 0 well isn't the point that he's highlighting that I'd be like I don't think that's good enough I need more than that should there's something poetic about Strange fixing his watch without magic that makes it a solid way of putting the past behind him and moving on well if anything wouldn't it make more sense to use his magic kind of in the same vein as he moved on from being a surgeon who does use his hands that's actually honestly what I was thinking negative 1 the mechanical aspect I want to try and be as fair as possible here I thought that was okay it's analysis we don't get any of that in this video usually that's true but how accurate is it that's the thing he's doing things in a nuts and bolts kind of way and it's like yeah kind of like a surgeon did he is a surgeon but he is now a sorcerer so yeah you're right I think it would be more poetic for him to very delicately even do it with sorcery like having the pieces move slowly and him looking at it all coming together I actually think that the take there would then be accurate but this I don't know that you could say like he's doing it very deliberately and slowly by hand to really put the past behind him it's like a non-sacred yeah it's if the connection here was like he wanted to have a more personal connection with the object itself and he wanted to instead of just magic it together without having to touch it like a physical connection with the object physically having to do it it's almost like the digging the grave and the DC movie the what is it the Snyder yeah Justice League like yeah you could just do it really really fast with your power or there is that level of like no we should do this like normally like so what do you put in there as well I guess it's like a deliberateness to it there's something there which is why I'm more willing to say zero I don't really want to go to negative one saying zero I'm not going to give it negative one because I it's almost there I think there needs to be more like if I'm to agree with his perspective he needs to develop it more and talk about like why he needed to do it that way but like I said I think I would have preferred it if he was doing it with magic I'm still thinking about that I am a surgeon but that's just hilarious don't you say rainy come on now you know what Eddie Munson treading in the background means that's still zero don't you do it we're about to get the screen they weren't kidding oh thank god kidding they weren't kidding you face the eternal consequences they stop after the next after credit scene of course I thought the evil eye was specifically for using the dark hold not the not this I thought it was a dark hold though well no because the third eye came for the evil strange and he had a third that's right and he didn't do any of this as far as I know they didn't say he went into a corpse yeah just living people but what an appropriate horror at the end as long as we ignore the post credit scene I guess you can say this is an MCU horror movie but it feels weird to say so I almost don't feel like that there are elements there were elements in horror but it's like saying I'm shot at a stealth game it's not it's an action adventure game with stealth elements in it would you say this is an action adventure movie yes absolutely I don't think it's got enough horror in it you can say there are horror elements at best absolutely oh okay we're not ignoring that alright at least the eternal consequences have hit him oh he's fine it looks very similar to where strange met doormom I know that's fine so maybe you can figure it out Bruce Campbell also that's a fork the mini ashes used against big ash it's over thank god I've never been more glad to have that I was all just zeros yeah so now this is big somebody's part so the way he does it as far as I remember is he'll do like a connecting pieces about the good and you'll give them wins so we're still in it folks as you can tell he's done he's coming up to almost twice the amount of points I can't believe I'm saying this but you could infer from the fact that they have similar if not almost the same length of time but wins has way more points that sins spends more time on average explaining his points shit it does seem to be that way multiverse of madness the second or third best multiverse film of the year well it pause it there let me use the loop real quick and then we can continue I am also going to take advantage of the loop wow I thought we were here like pressing on but that's okay they're stalling us for any you know you can just sort of like you can go and then come back you can pee in your little seat you can stand up you actually know you would like gollum what gollum with a little piss bucket I just have to assume he pees at his loin cloth I don't know even gollum has to hand what a is there a collectible I don't know cloth maybe piece on that the pee cloth for storing piss for lighted use people are already assuming that sins is one you don't know that we haven't tallied you don't know that the true question is whether or not wins will actually make it to positive numbers that is the question legitimately but the longer it went on the more it started being zero and negative it was eating away at his tally that was actually kind of high early on I think skewed that way the longer it went on the more he was forced to talk about the film the harder it got just fun fact so far he hasn't scored a single two wins while sin scored I think three twos see it is kind of because remember we watched his suicide squad video right every cinema sins video we have watched before this one today we pretty much thought was like dross yeah he's not good he's typically not good but as we pointed out if there's gonna be a video he should nail it's probably on what we consider to be the worst movie of all time for writing anyway are we ready we look like we're ready I'm ready let's go let's get some minor critiques out of the way some of the dialogue is rough here and there so not everything rewrites and some obvious reshoots are hard to ignore wait what do we do now he doesn't apply wins he just says the criticisms they only count when he does the ding I think can we at least give him a chance and for every good point he makes give him a point okay alright let's be give him a chance exceedingly fair exceedingly fair so he said that some of the dialogue is wonky I'm not gonna give him a point because he didn't give us any examples yeah you gotta be more specific than that so he said you can track the discontinuity with wong's changing here do you think that's enough for a point I think he gets a point for that I think he gets a point for that as well then by wong's ever changing here I don't really care to get into it because I think the final results work extremely well and I love wong he slowly becomes that's just a negative one sorry man you got the point man you lost it straight away I think that's how he does it he'll be like this thing is disgusting and horrible and terrible it makes no sense I love it I love it put it on my screen it's one of my favorite MCU characters so maybe we'll find out that actually it was all seven different wongs but I doubt it joke zero I think Elizabeth Olson killed it as the baddie in this film acting was very good acting was good but like that's not talking when you say killed it as the baddie we have to assume he's saying the performance right and that's fair that's what my mind goes to I'm gonna give him a point even though that's pretty generous cause we've given him a lot of Elizabeth Olson as good he's been squeezing that getting the points out of there no that's not his fault that's the writing cause they told her to deliver these lines as a particular way she nails it but it's confusing cause you don't know how any of this is working so that's interesting cause it's like she struggles he's saying she's struggling but I don't think I don't think so so when he says he's referring to the writing line I think he's referring to the production as a whole I think it's the production level in that case would that be a point I don't think they struggled they failed I think that's with something it's true there was definitely a struggle we would just consider it much worse than he would right so he gets bored saying that they struggled to figure out how to make her somewhat sympathetic absolutely completely I think that is true we would say there was a disaster and he's saying they struggled does he got a point for that listen man I'm just trying to help about maybe somebody else do the tie break here just trying to help out the pity point Bragg's decided no I understand that struggle though he fucked it up anyways just to find stop doing this why does a shitty terrible awful awful person fuck off but it can make her turn at the end and it's clear that her willingness to kill is a direct result of Darkhold no it's not negative one he did say the turn was quick is that worth anything but remember he praised it he gave it a point it's so weird this is so disjointed that was quick she goes full horror villain not just because Rami wanted to have these stellar scenes but because she compromised her morals and ethics to accomplish her goal she was warned about Darkhold and she did it anyway so her turn can be looked at as her finally realizing that she was not doing any of this for her kids and it was all for her no they want you to think you have to tie this to what he said earlier about her not caring about the kids it's completely fucked as analysis of course she's doing it for selfish reasons meaning that she wants to be with her children but she does care about them yeah it's so strange to move it around this way she's finally realizing she wasn't doing this for her kids it was doing it for her she was always doing it for her to get to the kids because she cares about the kids she believes they would be better off with her remember the line about how she said that with her and her power they would never die because she would always be able to find through the multiverse a solution to any illness or sickness whatever they have she cares about them so like no this is the only way you can't control it but I can and then solidify he's right he can't control it and he seemingly can the only problem was that logically speaking he had no time to suck at power because it takes fucking 10 years you need to kill her sorry and he seemed to be on board with it because he was killing her anyway you have to be the one holding the knife strange doesn't rely on anyone else strange doesn't rely on anyone but himself that's not true he relied on Tony to save all of the people he created the he made the Illuminati well if we're talking about this strange specifically he relied on Tony big time he was dead Tony in the event just to come through obviously it was a potentiality yeah no you're wrong and where does he go he goes to Jamratage with all of the sorcerers to defend everything and Wong it's this thing where the movie told you it could have been that they were like Doctor Strange and Multiverse Matters what are we going to make it about we're going to make it about how Doctor Strange has father issues he just has serious father issues and that Christine and him are together now and she's pregnant and she's about to give birth we're at eight months or something and that he's super worried and stressed out that he's just inadequate as a father because of his father you'd be like what okay I guess we could try and make that work the funny thing about that is it's more congruent because it's new and that we didn't get told about it this doesn't line up one of the biggest moves he ever made in the MCU was relinquishing control yep it's just an invented made up new thread for this film one of many but himself he thinks he's right even when he's not and he struggles to ever admit he's wrong it's not a new message by why did you show this as a visual because he's being a dick which is not the same as being wrong by the way it's not a new message by any means but they executed very well negative one point there's so many negative one points for again right now you just heard the theme and accepted it is he already done with the criticisms part I'm guessing I'm guessing so yeah or there'll be light one sprinkled in that are immediately followed up with it but that's okay no it's actually good like that kind of pattern but they executed very well his first after redemption is testing Christine to help him dream walk and then obviously the big turn is when he does the what about all the other times the end of the movie what about what about asking wonder for help is the first fucking thing he does in this movie yeah and then they call in other sorcerers to help no he's always got to be holding the knife the thing about this is you can you can actually like just move it around so much you can never be wrong you'd be like no no no when he asks for help he's still in control because he's the one that asks for help well I mean if we do it like that then there's nothing there's no references he does control this because he told America what to do and then she did it so exactly he had full control he'd ever stopped holding that darn knife exactly what Defender Strange did and trusts America I hate this analysis what do you think Defender Strange was supposed to do America I've been stabbed with something that looks like it's probably going to kill me I need you to believe in yourself and defeat this monster I have no reason to think you can do that at all but fucking I could kill you and save the whole multiverse but why would I do that because I'm immoral that's just sucks man I feel bad for Defender Strange every day that poor guy gets shadowed by everybody he lets go of the knife it's a huge emotional arc for him that ends perfectly with his bow to wall and even beyond thematic stuff this film is a super entertaining watch the whole premise of your video it's entertaining you want to tell us why apparently Olsen shot some of these sequences back to back in WandaVision which must have been a trip that is a criticism not a compliment but I guess you could say it's good that she managed to maintain is what I was saying earlier imagine you're like filming you being a horrible villain then you filled the scene where you realize you were wrong for torturing people I'm sorry wait what's the order for this well it would be really awkward for her WandaVision wondered us something terrible wrong and then tries to stop it and that's meant to be like a little redemption thing for her and then she's immediately back to being even more evil in a normal video you'd be like despite the fact that Elizabeth Olsen nails the performance throughout if you knew this it kind of makes it seem a little more awkward the fact is she was filming scenes from WandaVision and scenes from this film back to back in different portions you know really struggling with the fact that she couldn't really know what was happening you can play clips if you're saying that and then you can be like this is a very bad way to construct your stories because it's not helping your actors and it doesn't need to be this stupid you could actually like organize it and schedule it so it's competent and that they can actually get into the stories and understand them famously Cumberbatch said he has no idea what his arc is in this film that's not good you shouldn't say you shouldn't highlight that and then say that's really good that he's doing it despite all that you should say it's bad the recent thing with Elizabeth Olsen is she said that she stopped reading the revisions for the script because it just kept getting rewritten that is a bad thing it's bad for the actors it makes it harder for them to do well and there's no shame in highlighting that it's bad you don't have to be toxic positivity is a real thing there's a real game really is all the cameos are fantastic because they are cameos that's it the whole thing I don't care what anyone says this is not the definition of fan service this isn't humiliated and destroyed how is this analysis this isn't an analysis I like it then he says after but honestly what was even more fun were their deaths I don't believe that you think that he's just running into that negative 10,000 points it's like oh you like the cameos okay I guess I get it but then you should probably be like oh he turned them into spaghetti the other one got exploded and the other one this is all died you like the fun gory stuff because it's ramy that's all it is isn't it? he just did another ramy without saying ramy honestly what was even more fun were their deaths so gruesome so unexpected I don't care what anyone says oh my god it was funny like on the side of not liking it you have all these fucking arguments about all the characters how they built up what their powers are how this doesn't make any sense the motivations you're like that's bad and then he's like well I think it's good and you can't change my mind okay I guess that's great mr. analysis analysis movies person youtube video what's the point of you other than you can you can have your own beating in life I just meet these videos it just feels like a missed opportunity explain to people why this is worthwhile why they should do it again why it was a good choice give us something and if you can't maybe you have to accept like man I only have superficial praise for this you don't get ramy if you don't want him to ramy that's not it's not required Winnie what are you doing what are you doing Winnie you could have said ramy I need you to like have them like they die but like make it you know like not shit this is the thing how does Wanda defeat the Illuminati it's like with how it's presented it's gonna be pretty fucking hard to justify it but you could find a way you have to work at it you can't just have a walk in and kill everybody point blank it's so bad that they all know she's coming see her have the powers that they do and then they lose it's like okay the cummerbatch is is Dr. Strange in every performance of the character he does a great job of making I'm not allowing him to have a point again for Strange you know you don't get no you don't get a lot Benedict cummerbatch is a great actor yep everybody knows everybody agrees and yes he is like probably the perfect casting for Dr. Strange yep you don't get points for that so just a little bit of a cocky jerk and Rachel McAdams continues to be great as multiple I think Rachel McAdams is a great actress at her best she doesn't do anything as Christine I'm sorry she's Bailey yeah she's just that's a really great point the most character you get from her is in the first movie and even that is thin so this isn't even our Christine's different Christine Steven I used to love you but you're just too much vibe but the real standout of the film is Sochi Gomez I'm sorry I'm more than happy to say she did a good job but she's I'm sorry she's not on the cummerbatch you put that in there she was barely mentioned this whole video and now she's yeah it's weird that he didn't highlight a particular performance from her it's not to me that she was 14 when they started filming and she carried she's good especially if she's 14 that's fair yeah she's never not a teen in this film but it never feels like she can't keep up she does fine fine cool she had to play both the captive and the hero at times and sure seems super natural for her Sochi and others like Miss Marvel's Iman Vellani the MCU was doing an excellent job of finding the next generation of MCU character hahaha they're doing a great job they're doing so good at that well I mean I guess the thing that could be said Marvel doesn't they seem to cast people who are really competent typically like as performers but the actual new generation of characters who are you really latching on to at this point you know I'm like man I'm so interested in seeing what happens next for whose new characters that I've introduced Miss Marvel Riri Williams Riri Williams can't wait to see what happens with Riri Williams and Wakanda and Iron Suit Adam She-Hulk I can't wait to see She-Hulk the thing about it is it's the way that he said it right because I didn't if he had said job in finding the next generation of MCU actors had been like they usually highlight they usually grab good actors they don't often grab an actor you go like Seth Rogen is Doctor Strange or anything but yeah next generation of MCU characters it's so funny to say that because that is basically the huge issue right now they are out of characters they used to have a roster of like 50 yeah but it doesn't matter you could have all the greatest actors in the world if they're playing characters that everyone fucking hates i.e. Game of Thrones Season 8 it doesn't fucking matter so good on them and if you want to make movies for the MCU someday oh my god oh no oh no we're done you know what struck me that's all you had for the compliments even you Mr. Compliments Everything has to know this film we're shooting getting feedback everything you need if you feel like you have no idea where to start I did his class it's fantastic behind the scenes info is there anything else oh gosh that's a long end how much were you paid the shittiness this video is like did you like did Patrick William Willems class like infect your brain to think that this movie was good is this is this a damning insight he struggled he struggled to talk about it in a positive light because he has to know this film was really weak there was so little there in those last couple of minutes and a lot of it was just like well I really enjoyed it that was super entertaining it's kind of dumb but I don't care it just reflects like a lack of I guess confidence in this film but if you've set about to make a video called everything great about Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness like yeah it's going to be a struggle it runs into the same problem that CinemaSins has in the opposite direction of like doing a sins video for a really great film when you like when you need criticisms and you're like fishing for criticisms and just maybe just make a short but accurate video I mean that's always something you could do 27 minutes is better right the longer the better it's shorter to make a shorter video too like it takes you less time but whatever a wind counter that has over 200 it's nicer to look at as like a oh I have five winds here anyway see you next time I was like yeah I have tallied his score so what I have to say about this is that we had a lot of negative ones at the end that I didn't even write down because I was so despondent like it was just piling on so this score you have to keep in mind in reality it would have been lower than this this was a generous score and we were being very generous with a lot we gave him some pity points we were being very generous do you want to just for the fun of it the four of you guess what it might be negative 16 negative 12 negative 37 I'm going to go ahead and guess some like negative 5 so the like I said the reality is it could be any of those depending on how much I didn't write down because we just got to a point where it was spamming negatives it is so it's just our cinema sins ended with 67 points which generally we're just like that's actually pretty good good job not bad negative ones in there but you know wins according to the what I wrote down which isn't entirely accurate it would be much lower than this on a plus 2 oh oh Fringy was indeed the most accurate so I had a feeling it would be positive it just seemed like it would be a real slim margin if it was because the negative started piling on towards the end we need to do this again with the last wish to compare the ultimate results because that would be really interesting I would agree that's the real test cinema wins accurately and thoroughly like nail the price for a good film or is it as vacuous as well yeah and similarly how can sins fare against a good film though we've seen that several times and it doesn't really badly yeah this isn't enough like how well do you do when criticizing a really bad film and trying to prize a really bad film we need that opposite and then maybe something in the middle if we wanted to do it at that time yeah choose like a mid-movie if we can find one that would match that a real average one ooh that's a good one what will we consider that well we call it Suicide Squad let's like a five but we already did that yeah we'd have to find someone else like no way home maybe one has like plot problems but high character moments it's possible we'd have to look at the erostics I don't even know what movies they cover in full both of them like you know I wonder what their coverage each would be on Quantum Mania for example but I don't think either of them um well that's that what is to be concluded from this both channels are shit but ultimately here sins came out as like a channel that's not worthless this stuff to gain especially because they're bite size I'd consider half an hour bite size especially if it's a movie so you know but luckily we have more context on Cinema Sins we know that he's like notoriously shit at his job with a lot of stuff doesn't have to be he's got both of them have the exact same problem they never go further they never detail they never really show any true understanding of like what is meaningful in writing they mostly just explain something and that's it which is so ironic because that's what we get as a criticism from a lot of people it's like all you're doing is highlighting what's there it's like I don't know we always want a context of how it's damaging to something that's established or it's contradictory to something but the amount of how many times did Cinema Wins just say something was there a lot of times I got really frustrated because there was nothing else to add by any of us as well Cinema Sins came out way ahead on that front like he did do a lot of you know saying but he did a lot of actual things he did he's all been to it a bit and he was really kind of analytical and critical yeah well hosts and guests give their own scores you mean like for the channels what in general or for those videos I don't think anyone here thinks I don't think Cinema Sins makes good videos no he makes very mass produced videos people keep telling me that Wins is so much better in general but I think people just feel that way because of positivity that's a great theory that's a great theory yep I love the idea of the Cinema Wins channel and it could be so much fucking better it's not under the idea that like it's better to be positive about anything it's more so just I like the challenge of trying to make an analysis where you are biased in one direction and find all the most interesting complimentary things to the writing slash production of a film that's cool but he's really bad at it well it's just hunting for whatever can get that counter higher up right it's literally the exact same strategy as Sins yeah it's just a meme it's like let's see how high the counter can go then we add like arbitrary numbers in there it's like oh this was so cool this gets plus 17 it's like oh okay it's just never gonna be accepted on a wider level because he's positive why would you go after someone who's just being positive and it's like oh I okay it's gonna be funny because if you then have like a video where you agree with the points where it's like yeah it's still shit because you didn't tell me why it's good like I agree that this is good but I'm probably gonna tell you why it is good in a couple of minutes instead of like this is good Rami ding nothing hmm well bad well I mean you know there you have it what more could possibly be said yeah that is that is a that's an e-fap for you quite that was a very draining video Sins of Redemption and Winnie 2988 Win 2988 they will meet again we got our I hadn't put this up the meme the rags meme ponytail rags is evil oh yeah ponytail rags is totally good ponytail denotes villainy looks like a British on like producer like music producer guy yeah I see what you mean does I don't get that I'd never knew that ponytails were evil I had no clue it's better that you know now wonder where he pulled that from what made him think that must have met a lot of ponytail people that just just wants to just grab him by the ponytail and yank him around and be like why why do you why are you why do you wear the mark of the beast the mark of evil the ponytail why do you bear his banner the mark of the pony so meme repository what are you up to these days where can people find you yeah well I'm streaming Shadow of Mordor right now to kind of give the contrast with the Golem games so that's that's what I'm doing at the very present moment and I'm also editing a little TV series which hopefully you guys will get to see within the coming months and yeah then after that I'll be back to stream repositories I got a stream I got a Kevin Conroy tribute stream that is like is in like that final bit before it's ready but I haven't had a chance to like do that final bit so it's kind of just hanging at 98% at the moment I gotta get back to that afterwards and then yeah just gonna be just I got a bunch of notes that I've taken for a bunch of things I need to turn them into videos so that I'll be trying to do that as well so that's that's me well awesome what to it yeah wait link in description and chat or at least it is if you scroll up mortal what are you doing what's

if you prefer that or not it's you know sometimes it's just awkward or if it's it's preferred if you'd want to watch it all again it's a real great series it's just that you know it's really far away from where Mando came out now but um like the copyright works differently on the individual videos to the main big one I don't fucking know um yeah the EFAP movies are still in production you gotta wait longer on that one before more information and there is something else cooking I'm probably not going to give information on it yet so I don't know if it'll happen or not um but as me mentioned you have got an EFAP TV series that's on the way it'll start up in the next few time who knows exactly when that's a complicated thing to ask okay chat how dare you but oh a lot of the things they

some other time yeah that was more draining than I was expecting like that was especially wins what the fuck what happened what the fuck okay bye everybody everybody go lock them balls hell yeah


What's going to get us welcome back to another video. So today I've got two really awesome products to share with you one. I am pretty sure you won't have seen before. It's quite a high ticket product as well. It's more applicable for younger generation. I don't think your grandparents can be buying one of these things. It's more targeted towards the generation of people who stream they have or game they have a really nice setup at home. It's a high ticket product and I couldn't find an exact match but I found something very similar in Aliexpress. It does pretty much the same thing. At least anyway it's a starting point if you did want to take this product any further. Having that Aliexpress product link is brilliant because it's pretty much at least from my own experience and the agents I've worked with in China. That's usually the starting point. You send them the link to the product in Aliexpress and they take it from there. They have all the information they need to go and find you the best price and best quality and best delivery. If this is your first time tuning into one of these videos the way these videos are structured I show you products that are working right now at this very second. So as you watch this video if you haven't got a drop ship of business up and running because you're still looking for a product that is going to work. I'm going to show you in this video two products that are working right now. I'm going to show you the creative that's responsible for making these products work as well so you know exactly what a winning creative looks like. I'll also show you the Shopify store setup of each of these products too. So essentially you have all of the components by the supplier when it comes to selling these products successfully. So let's jump into the first product then which is from a company called Hyperspace Lighting and just look at that as a product. Like how cool is that? It goes without saying it's going to capture attention. I'll show you the comments section in the section in a second and some of the comments are actually talk about how much of a talking point this product is when they put it in their office, when they put it in their living rooms on coffee tables and they have visitors over. It's one of the centerpieces to any room and you just look at the effect it gives off. It's a pretty awesome product in its own right. Look at the primary text at the top as well. Very simplistic, very short, very sharp, very to the point. The video is what sells these products of course. Not going too far off subjects but a common question I'll get asked is should you run image ads?  Image ads much cheaper. Your CPMs will be a lot lower. However some products can only be sold via a video. Having an image of this product would not have done it justice. You need a video showing a different angles showing a different lighting effects. So when it comes down to is image better or is video better, then it depends on the product but ultimately when it comes to advertising as I said in the past you should leave no stone unturned and you should test for yourself to find what works for you. So 2.9000 reactions, 300 comments and 568 shares. Lots of recent comments as you can see these are actually the most relevant ones. One day, two days, two days, four days, one week, two weeks, three weeks. Nine weeks, nine weeks, nine weeks, eleven weeks. This has been selling for quite some time and continues to do so. Sheena here, love my Nano. We have Kimmy, my husband just snagged ours. I love this. Let's see if we can find anybody else who's bought one of these things. This would be so cool in your office. I bought a 10 inch one of Amazon. I need one of these. Up at the fridge, I'm out. Shannon Walker, we just ordered one today for our nephew. It's absolutely amazing. Love my Nano. I love, love, love my cube. As we can see, it's getting some attention. Sean Harris, I love mine. Orgy here, bought, purchased. Alex bought one of the best things I've purchased for my basement. These things look amazing. Love them. I want it one of these days. So it goes without saying it's gathering attention and people actually buying these products as well, which is obviously most important. Let's just show you the newest comments as well. So you can see this is still working right now. Dane here actually bought a couple of these things to build out his setup. In fact, I thought he bought, I think there's three in that picture, which is pretty awesome. So one day, 20 hours ago, one day, one day, two days. Two days, three days, three days, four days. You get the gist. This is working right now. People are buying this thing today. Let's jump onto the website then. And the cheapest, they actually do a few different versions of this in different sizes, with different stands and different powers as well. They actually do a rechargeable USB-C one. This is the cheapest one. It's $153. As you can see, it's not a cheap product. They do a really good job of producing their own content, original content, which I can't stress how important that is in today's times on social media. You need to be putting fresh original content in front of your audience that they haven't seen before. If you are recycling clips using the same content as everybody else, your audience has probably seen that content before. And people don't tend to notice things that they've seen multiple times before. It's the new, fresh, exciting things they haven't seen before that's much more likely to capture their attention. Let's jump onto AliExpress then. This is the closest thing to I could find. Like I said, I'm going to give you guys the responsibility of sourcing this product if that's okay. But you look in, give or take in and around the sort of 20-pound mark delivered to your customer. The other thing as well that you have to approach of course and of course with a product like this is shipping. You need to make sure this thing is shipped very well and very protected from a reliable source. But hopefully you guys can all agree with me that it gives off a really cool visual effect. Definitely the sort of thing that's going to get attention on social media and it is the perfect product or addition to somebody's home office or somebody's gaming setup or somebody's streaming setup which is obviously becoming ever more and more popular. Before jumping to product number two then, just a very quick message about my mentorship program that's currently open and taking applications. If you are looking for somebody with drop shipping experience to take you through the process of finding a product, launching a product and scaling a product then check out my mentorship packages. We do this on a call together with myself. If you want to have a chat with me in person and see if we can work out some sort of arrangement and see what your goals are and see if I can ultimately help you achieve them then what you need to do is below this YouTube video check out this mentorship link. It's going to take you to a page where it takes you through a series of questions and it only takes a couple of minutes to fill out. It's basically a way of me getting to know what position you're in now at that level of experience, what your goals are in two to three months time and if it's the sort of thing I can help you achieve then it will let you get through to my calendar where we can book a time and date to have a chat so I look forward to talking to you there. That means that then let's jump into product number two which is a more traditional drop shipping product. It's actually a product I featured a couple of months ago on the channel and I said keep an eye out for this one, I think it's going to do really well and who knows, maybe the owner of this business or my video decided to give it a go and they've been doing a pretty good job as well. So basically what it is is it's a head and LED solar charged light that you can obviously put up wherever you need a bit of extra light, the requirement for a bit of extra light, loads and loads of LED, LEDs, super super bright, super super powerful and lighting products they tend to always do well on social media because there's that clear kind of visual intrigue, they're quite visually pleasing. So all in all a great product with some great functions and targets the ideal audience as well for the Facebook platform in my opinion. So 4.7,000 likes, 440 comments, 500 shares. Let's check out what people are saying. So how long does it take for us to just one week's order? So there's kind of like intent there, somebody's looking to buy one of these things. Does it come with the bracket? What are the dimensions? Do you ship to Canada? What's the size? What's the price on three or four lights? So there's lots and lots of questions about people who are having strong intent about buying this thing. How long does it take to get them? Once you've ordered them, do you ship to Philippines? Just check in how long is the lifespan if I bought three of them. So it's the sort of thing that people, let's get rid of this, it's the sort of thing that people would want to buy multiples of these things. So big average order values, big profit, potential, and maybe even an opportunity for business to business as well instead of direct to consumer. Post here from Theresa Phillips, I've had these lights for a few years and they're great.  And I think we saw some pretty recent comments too, three hours, five hours, one day, one day, three days, five days. So again, this is a product that's selling today right now, the second you watch this video. So if it looks like the sort of thing you want to get started with, then you know exactly what you're selling, you know exactly what the creative looks like. Unfortunately, I can't play the audio of the creative through the YouTube video. However, go and check this creative out because it is really, really good. This creative does the perfect textbook job of answering all of the questions a consumer would have about buying a product. You have to put yourself into the mind of your ideal target market. Think of the questions and things they would want to know about your product before they bought it. Write them all down and then answer every single one in the video. Answer every single one on your Shopify store. And if your consumer, if your potential customer has no reason not to buy the product, then obviously they're much more likely to go ahead and buy the product. Perhaps I'll do a video on this specific subject later. So let's jump onto their site then. Traditional kind of dropshippy looking sites. I won't spend too much on it because it's pretty textbook image followed by a heading and a paragraph. And again, each image heading and paragraph is not just random or in bland generic information. It's covering the functions and features of the product. It's answering all those questions a potential consumer would have before they would be willing to go ahead and purchase it. Let's jump onto AliExpress then and see what the costs are around these things. So 56 pounds per unit. As we saw, there's quite a few inquiries are coming from people looking to buy potentially two, three, even four of these things. So if I was this store, I would definitely have a quantity breakdown on here to encourage people to do so. I could jump onto AliExpress. I weren't able to find the exact match. However, there's very similar products here as we can see in and around the sort of 14 euro mark. I'm sure with a bit more time spent researching or if I gave it to my agent, he'd be able to get me an exact quotation. But we've got the bull pack figures, which is enough to go on. We can very clearly see. In fact, I think this could even be the identical one because it's the same amount of lumens. You're looking in and around sort of 10 or 15 pound mark. They're selling it in and around sort of 50 pound mark. Great profit margins to be had on this product and definitely a product worth shortlist in. And with that being said then, that is it from me in this video. If you enjoyed this video, don't forget to check out my mentorship program to help accelerate your progress and avoid those common and costly mistakes that a lot of beginners make. Thanks for watching, guys. I appreciate the support and I'll see you in the next one.


Hello, welcome back. I'm DroneTech and I'm literally losing days of life for every minute I have to watch of the media's attempted PR recovery of Joe Biden's disastrous press conference yesterday You got these public broadcasters who are also publicly funded by taxpayer dollars like Yamanshi Alcaldor tweeting out how amazing the event was Contrary to what every normal human being witness There's so much to say about President Biden's presser. The thing that sticks with me is that he took Responsibility for mistakes he made expressing genuine frustration with COVID and his agenda being stalled by the GOP and Democrats and took hard questions without insulting folks wrong. You always ask me the nicest questions. I Know you do. All right. None of them make a lot of sense to me, but I You campaigned and you ran on a return to civility and I know that you dispute the characterization that you called folks Who would oppose those voting bills?  Do you want to be in the side of John Lewis or bull Connor? Do you want to be the side of Abraham Lincoln or Jefferson Davis? This is the moment to decide and tell me if you think I called anyone who voted on the side of The position taken by bull Connor that they were bull Connor And that is an interesting reading of English you I assume you got in the in the journals because you like to write Biden talked foreign policy and didn't lash out at reporters quite the change He took hard questions without insulting folks and that is an interesting reading of English You I assume you got in the in the journals because you like to write and he did not take responsibility for his mistakes He deflected on everything you even admitted in your tweet that he blamed the GOP for his failures. There is no way to get out of Afghanistan after 20 years easily Not possible no matter when you did it And I make no apologies for what I did he took responsibility for mistakes He thinks he made you man. She is just a straight-up Biden regime mouthpiece And while NPR doesn't receive a majority of its funding from taxpayer funds It does receive 5.8 percent from the federal state and local government in any case it got me thinking about a year ago and just the over-the-top Pro-bind propaganda that was gushing from the media at the time They were saying things like Biden is the better angel president It was a thrill up their leg moment all over again in the inaugural address the beginning had a little bit of Soaring rhetoric a teeny bit at the end in the middle. It sounded almost like a homily. I'm just talking to you I'm in this vaunted position, but like a priest explaining Something from the bible or something. I'm breaking it down for you So we can all have a common language and a common understanding to watch Joe Biden today It was such a stark reminder of of how as a country We do seek out whatever we think we were missing You know, whatever it is we thought we were missing in the previous president He is the better angel president Today's inauguration felt more like a church service Right thought from from joe buying today. Certainly. He was commander-in-chief. He was also Papa-in-chief and this was about taking truth and reclaiming facts george mark up a girl of presidential Historian this was we must not be enemies. We must not make friends of our enemies as john carlos is talking about Echoes of a blinkin contrast on display tonight was so stark I mean those lights that are that are just shooting out from the linkin memorial along the reflecting pool I look it's like almost Extensions of joe biden's arms embracing America do you want to be the side the side of dr. K or george walis?  Or bull corner?  This is the moment to decide No, I didn't say that look what I said go back and read what I said and tell me if you think I called anyone who voted on the side of The position taken by bull connor that they were bull connor and that is an interesting reading in english You I assume you got in the in the journals because you like to write Unfortunately, it did not go as they planned with biden failing at everything he touches While also being completely blissfully unaware of his failures. All right, that's all I have for this one Thanks for watching if you enjoyed it. Please hit that like button maybe share it and then leave me a comment to let me know What you think


Coming back to economics if I may show the leftist charge that the one of their charges is that the stimulus It's not working because all of these billions trillions of dollars that have been pumped into the economy are Being sat upon basically by the banks and the corporations. There's all this money on the sidelines and the conservative response is that that's true, but it's because In order to invest rationally for the future you need to have some rational prediction about the outcome of your investment and with The Dodd-Frank regulations still being written and the health care thing coming down the pike that they that they simply Are reticent about investing in this uncertain regulatory environment. What do you think of the liberal charge and the conservative response? So they're both partially right So yes, there's a lot of money in a sense sitting in the sidelines not being invested in and there's really You know one number that matters here and that is the fact that the banks in the United States are sitting at I think on one and a half trillion dollars of reserves at the Federal Reserve So this is money that they're not lending out. That's just sitting there and that Represents all that money the corporations have put in the bank and the bank instead of lending it out Which is usually what they do with deposits. They're just sitting it parking it at the Federal Reserve So yes, you know that is in a health economy. That doesn't happen in a health economy Banks are lending money money is circulating people are doing stuff with it. They're producing their investing and so on So there is there is that You know that charge has some some legitimacy the conservatives explain it as uncertainty and There's a certain truth to that right so businesses don't know what's coming down the pipe They don't know how bad or good things are going to be and in the face of uncertainty people just don't do anything They just shut down But that's not really true The problem is not that businesses don't know what's coming the problem is that they do Right the problem is that they know that the regulations are going to be tough that they know The taxes have to be higher that they know that you know that that that economic activity is shrinking not expanding they know How bad things are going to be So it's it's a myth that it's uncertainty. No, it's the certainty that things are getting worse That things are bad now. This is not an original point of mind actually, I mean I Agreed with it completely when I read it, but but this was in a op-ed in the Wall Street Journal that Cliff Asnes wrote I don't know if you know who Cliff Asnes.  He said no the problem with us is not uncertainty. The problem is that we know so There's this notion that economists think of this way and and other people think that uncertainty is the problem. No governments the problem and We know that government intervention in the economy is going to increase and therefore we're going to shrink our activity So that's the one cut. That's the one element that I think the conservatives get wrong. So they think That if we just knew exactly what Dodd-Frank was if they if they figured out because they're still writing the regulations, right? If we just find find finished writing all the regulations then business would sigh sigh of relief and invest No, or if if Obamacare was just over with if we just had it already, right? That's so we get to get it. We just had it already then and suddenly would disappear Yeah, and certainly would disappear But the money would still be parked because things would be bad So what so this is the question why do businessmen invest? There's a there's a title of a book. I don't know if the book's any good I haven't had to chance to read it yet, but I find the title intriguing. It's called rational optimism the rational optimist I think Businessmen are rationally optimistic You invest a lot of money today Expecting to get more money in the future Right, that's what investment is all about So you believe based on facts, but it's the future so there's huge uncertainty That things will work your way and that you will get more than you put in that's called profit But that's why they invest that they're making certain assumptions that are positive about the future But if you but if you look at the future and you can't make positive assumptions about it, it all looks negative Things are bad Things are going to get worse in the future. The debt is only going to increase taxes have to go up Regulations look like it's increasing then you're not going to make investments because there's no way for you to profit from it So You know, so that's kind of the full Ask a question about education. Sure Because I have some younger cousins that you know are intelligent. They're going to really great schools Like Northwestern for example for economics Coming back and they sound they're buying into everything that they're being told and why shouldn't they they're paying $40,000 a year for the premium and You know, these are people these are you know people that have grown up in entrepreneurial households because you know a lot of family businesses and so forth So how do you stress these points that what they're being told by authority figures who are very you know Who have PhDs etc. Is not truth is not actually accurate and also You know the hard part as well as education is incredibly important, but the quality of the education They're actually getting is is just not there So the biggest scam in the world that's ever been run is run by The top American universities. I mean they're selling you junk for 40,000 is cheap Like 60 70 80 thousand dollars a year at some of these Ivy League schools, and what are you getting in return a pathetic Education education that 150 years ago would be laughed out. Nobody would pay a dime for So it's the biggest scam in history You're sending your kids to and you're paying a huge amount of money to university to teach them the reality doesn't exist or That Keynesian economics works or that the 19th century was a horrific century from America And they're good for FDR. He saved us so they're learning Lies and they're learning how not to think they're learning the exact opposite of what you would need to learn to think I mean, it's the biggest scam ever American universities are the pets and the better the university the worst education So if you have kids the worst thing you could do for them is send them to the Ivy League school You know unless they're studying engineering of science, but in the humanities. It's a disaster. It's an absolute disaster Now what do you do with kids like that? I mean It's really tough because the professors are very articulate their authority figures They're being paid a lot of money the student feels like they pay a lot of money So they're there for a reason and let's absorb this wisdom even though it's crap and What you have to do is give them contrary facts Give them books give them, you know show them that there were authority figures, right? Who say the opposite? and And today in with you know kind of the internet generation There's so many good videos right on YouTube of good economists explaining how the economy really works You got to find them and you know, maybe they'll listen to that because they certainly don't read, right? And and you know on these guys also have PhDs after their names usually but you know you got to find good content to balance it out and then I was telling somebody I think yesterday that you know when you're raising kids You've got this these two elements that are contradictory that incredibly frustrating frustrating because they contradict you know on the one hand you're trying to raise a child Will will be their own person will have will exercise their own free will and You know make their own choices in life and and be a volitional rational being on the other hand You just want them to do what you tell them And you don't want them to have any free will right so it's the same thing I mean you want them to get it, but at the end of the day They have to get it that is they have to do the work they have to figure it out and they have to be honest with themselves, but You know we have to understand that it is a great what is going on in universities is a great tragedy and The guilty party are the professors as a class They are the guiltiest party in the world. They are they are you know Leonard Peacock always says that as you go through the educational system the more degrees you gain the stupider you become Given that both he and I have PhDs We can I think I can I can join him and say I think that's absolutely right Because you're in this system that is teaching you all these really really wrong things for much much longer so it it really Comes down on you, but the only way to get around that is to have other Stuff that you can get to other books other videos other content other friends Yeah, is there still a value in higher education it depends so if you listen to Peter teal Right Peter teal. I don't know if you know, but Peter teal is offering a hundred thousand dollars to any high school kid Who has a good business idea and who won't go to college? Who commits not to go into college? So Peter teal is very much against college particularly for technology He doesn't believe young kids. They need it That you know, there's a lot of them know more than what they need You know to get a job in Silicon Valley why spent four years and two hundred thousand dollars or more In debt in order to get a job that you could have gotten when you were 18 before you wanted to college I Think in the humanities, it's an absolute waste of time Unless you go to the right college and they may be a handful of right colleges You know in sciences I think you probably have to go in certain engineering degrees you have to go but generally college is way way way overrated Way overrated and and this is for a father who had his son drop out after one year But he got a job you got a job in the industry. He was studying to get into Right, so why did he have to go through four years to get the same job? But he could have got the job when he got the job after one year. I mean I was happy and he was wasting his time They were teaching him crap They were I mean some of the stuff the technical stuff was good, but the rest was nonsense He can learn the technical stuff by himself if you want to become a programmer. You don't have to go to college to become a programmer So I think college is way overrated It's also true that what we lack in this country one of the skills that doesn't that people don't have is we don't have a lot of Blue collar high skilled people, you know people who can really do amazing things with machines and with tools We don't have that anymore because all those people who used to not go to college and go and become craftsmen Go become really, you know or go to trade schools, right? Don't do that anymore because we we've made college the new You know cathedral you have to go. It's it's it's a part of life And and I used to when I taught I used to teach my I used to teach undergraduates and graduates and the undergraduate students I used to tell them that they didn't belong there I mean they didn't care they sat in class and They if they showed up to class they were bored many of them went to sleep They studied for exam just to pass and these were bright kids This was a private university these were bright kids, but they weren't motivated What difference did it make this was boring stuff? It didn't interest them They said go ahead and find a passion go travel around the world for a year Go learn something about life and about yourself before you come into a classroom and expect to absorb all this knowledge So on every level college is over Dr. Brooke, I enjoy it when you speak about the Silicon Valley Venture capitalists you referenced them last night in your talk and I think last year When asked the question you mentioned that one of the venture capitalists had set up ten companies had taken them IPOs last year and five the only problem five were in India and five were in China Okay, is there any update on on what those that are on the forefront of venture capitalism and the Silicon Valley are doing in this market? Well, I mean I think that I mean it's interesting because a Silicon Valley right now is kind of experiencing a boom You're seeing there's actually a lot of activity. There's a huge shortage of workers if anybody here it can program mobile devices Move to Silicon Valley that they're dying for engineers that you could they could they could probably hire a hundred thousand Mobile program is tomorrow If you know if you just were willing to move there to one of their other centers where these people are located The problem is there's a mismatch between what the skills Americans have plus this is off your topic Americans don't move anymore, right? So There's no jobs in my town So I'm just gonna hang around here because there's unemployment insurance and what the hell? I I'm I've got a God-given right to stay in my town Right, but that that was never the mentality of Americans, right? Look at all the ghost towns that exist in the West jobs dried up for whatever reasons you moved you went away The jobs were that's why we had these huge migrations across the country people didn't weren't just stuck in one place So there's jobs in Silicon Valley people won't go So you know what you know what they're doing so this doesn't come from the venture community, but a good friend of mine was the was one of the project managers who put together the fire for Amazon, you know the the tablet and Amazon would like to hire thousands of programmers and they can't in the United States They just don't exist like if you get a you know This is another site but related 70% of all master's degrees and PhDs in the sciences earned in the United States are earned here by foreigners 70% of all masters and PhDs in Engineering and science are earned in the United States by foreigners Only 30% of Americans and what do we do once they get the master's degree of PhD? We kick him out We kick him up There's no way for them to stay here and get a job And we become very strict about that since 9-11 because we know that scientists at master's degrees and PhDs are known terrorists Particularly from non Islamic countries are very dangerous. I Mean our immigration policy is nuts. I mean we want these people to stay They could be creating these they were filling these jobs creating new jobs creating economic activity We send them overseas and then the Republicans fight on stage about illegal immigration and wish as if anybody should care What impact does that have on your life none zero? But the fact that legal immigrants so we don't bring enough legal immigrants into this country has a profound impact on your life It actually reduces the amount of production and amount of income you can have Anyway, so the story is that Amazon would like to hire all these engineers. They can't so what are they doing? They're going to China So he's thinking of taking a two-year assignment in China to run, you know a whole team of Chinese Programmers in China and they're not as good as American programmers and there's a variety of reasons why we'd be better if they were here But you can't do it here. So you're seeing more and more of that people complain about jobs moving to China Yeah, we're throwing them away. We're kicking them to China Because because companies in the United States cannot Find engineers because of our immigration policies because of our labor costs because of our regulatory costs They cannot do business here. So they move away So you're seeing that but there is a boom in Silicon Valley because of mobile devices Because of the in because of Facebook and all all the stuff around Facebook If you go to South of market in San Francisco, the place is booming rents away up Home prices are actually increasing in parts of Silicon Valley But it's most of that is the social networking And depends on how you think how much that really adds to productivity ultimately Or maybe reduces productivity, you know when people use Facebook? So, you know what the peak hours for Facebook are? like around nine and nine to ten in the morning East Coast or West Coast time when people arrive at work And then three to five in the afternoon before people leave work, right? Facebook usage over the weekend drops dramatically Facebook usage at night drops dramatically people use Facebook at work So whether that enhances productivity or not, you know is an interesting question So there's a lot going on in Silicon Valley, but there's a lot of that spirit that's gone The venture capitalist that I that you mentioned that I talked to this year was complaining about the young generation of venture capitalists who are Process-oriented who are he called he says they're all MBAs which is not meant as a compliment It has something to do with the more degrees you get the stupid you get That the process driven they were about he says venture capital is all about asking the right questions and They the entrepreneurs are the ones that have the answers. You don't have the answers That's why they're the entrepreneurs and you're the investor He says that's not how you know they approach it anymore So you're seeing the effects of the educational system from his perspective on the next generation of Venture capitalist and it isn't pretty or the humanities More to blame for the current economic policy than the study of economics itself yes by far by far because First of all, they're a lot of good economists They're more good economists today than ever before But more fundamentally, it's all those other Philosophical principles if you get all those other philosophical principles wrong, then of course you're gonna get economics wrong if you get You know if you don't get reason if you get if you if you if you get You know egalitarianism if you get any of the bad philosophical ideas Embedded in your thinking then by definition your economics is gonna be wrong because if reason is not the standard How are you gonna value it economics? Well on a board with math and equations called modern macroeconomics, right? It's all derivatives. I went to a macroeconomic class in when I got my PhD and we never actually studied economics The first day of class an equation was put up on the board and they said this represents the economy and the whole class was taking derivative derivatives from that equation and Therefore consequences. This is what the government should do. This is what business should do out of an equation. I Mean it's it's absurd I managed to get out of my second economics class. So I've only taken one economics class in my life Because once I saw that that was oh, I was never gonna take another one, but it's it's so Economics the extent economics is corrupt. It's because philosophy is corrupt and then the Corruption of philosophy is not just a corruption that influences economics, but it influences everything said influences history For example, why don't we know history? Because opistologies corrupt because we don't believe this truth because the postmoderns teach in the universities that there is No such thing as history not in the objective sense so the humanities are far more The impact is far more widespread than the impact of bad economists So if we really want to change the world we need good economists, but we need good historians and we need good Philosophers and we need good Psychologists and we need good all the humanities we need good people and all the humanities to be teaching those subjects Fond the perspective of reason reason reason wondering about the 1920s and 1930s I've heard really good things about Kelvin Coolidge and he was very pro-capitalism and And then also I'm wondering about FDR, and I've heard that he was Largely responsible for the Great Depression and then I'm wondering how Herbert Hoover kind of fits into that. So you want a quick Economic history of the United States in the 20s to 30s Cali Coolidge was was pretty good so in the in the in the other in the Recession I think of his 1920 His response was nothing No stimulus no government intervention nothing It was a deep recession and we got out of it almost immediately BAM the economy grew right out of it and continue growing into the 20s It's You could argue that Fed policy under Coolidge was off particularly towards the end of his administration They probably printed too much money even though they went to Gold Reserve they cheated and there was too much money being printed Which ultimately helped lead to? misallocation of resources throughout the economy ultimately leading to the kind of the stock market bubble and and its collapse so Federal Reserve policy under Coolidge was probably as bad as it's been since it probably wasn't very good So Coolidge then you get Hoover Hoover is probably you know one of one of the worst presidents in American history and suddenly the person responsible for the Great Depression the myth about Hoover is that he was a laissez-faire president that He just let the 1929 crash stock market crash happen, and then he did nothing and Then FDR came and saved the day by being activist Nothing could be furthered from the truth. I mean Hoover was an activist president from day one So smooth Holly was passed and signed by Hoover smooth Holly restricted trade raised Chaffs in the United States which created a trade war throughout the world and basically destroyed half the world's economies as a response to the recession which in 1929 crash Started Hoover doubled the income tax rate Which was Horrific for an economy in a recession Most of the regulations that later FDR kind of expanded and built upon was started under Hoover Hoover was a indeed FDR's administration viewed itself as Just continuing the policies of Hoover So Hoover was a very very interventionist president. So now what happened was that later in life? He became a pro-capitalist so later in life he identified that as a mistake and Converted to kind of being a free marketer, and that's why the Hoover Institute at Stanford University Which had Milton Friedman it's as its head for a long time is Relatively free market and that comes from the kind of the later Day conversion of Hoover into a free market guy, but he was a progressive Republican He was very progressive. He was very interventionist very much a status as president So Coolidge was good for the most part Government didn't grow that much, but there was massive still misallocation in the economy because of the Federal Reserve Which caused the collapse in 29 which would have just been a recession if the government stayed out of it But the government didn't stay out of it under Hoover it intervened dramatically and therefore caused a you know Real banking crisis in 31 or 32 and by a time FDR was elected. We were in a depression So you can't blame FDR for the depression. We were in a depression by 30. He was elected 32 He took office. I think in March of 33 Now it gets complicated because even during the the the election FDR indicated that he would probably take the US off the gold standard So people were worried about him taking that scope the gold sense What do you do if you worry that he's going to take you off the gold standard? You go to the bank and you withdraw your gold because in those days the banks held gold Versus your your money so everybody went to the bank and drew their gold which caused the banks to collapse So the banking crisis of 32 to a large extent is probably the result of the expectation that FDR would take us off the gold standard, which he did in 1933 when he became president so the expectation was actually true Once he got into office, I think everything he did basically was wrong or almost everything he did was wrong He raised taxes he increased government spending he Created laws that gave huge amount of power to unions But but the original law for example around unions around giving legal protection to unions was passed on the Hoover What FDR dude was Expanded So basically what you got from 33 to 36 the economy got a little bit better But not dramatically so and they were pouring money into these stimuluses and he was packing the Supreme Court he was doing all kinds of all kinds of bad stuff, right and in 33 it got better and then in 33 37 it collapsed again and By the beginning of World War two and 39 Basically the economy being flat for ten years. Nothing had happened. And so you certainly can't say that FDR did anything Good, you know in terms of the US economy and then people say well then it ended because you know the war started and So if we're talking about economic mythology, then this is the biggest myth of all the great depression the idea is the great depression ended because of World War two Right because unemployment went down during World War two unemployment was very low people were working and GDP Gross national product went up quite a bit So is this a good thing? So this is basically the most prevalent myth in economics It's called the and you can see it everywhere with the stimulus package is just a Stimulus packages is just a form of this myth. This is the myth of the broken window the fallacy of the broken window The idea is this And this is goes back to Basti art and there's a wonderful chapter in If you want after we'd want you should read one book in economics, right? And if you have to if you're gonna read one book in economics The book you should read is economics in one lesson by Henry Haslett and his first chapters in the broken window fallacy And then he shows out everything in economics is really the boat all the fallacies a broken window fallacies really they all So the wrong window fallacy is this you give a kid a rock and you tell him to throw the rock through the baker's window So he throws the rock through the baker's window and the window shatters Now what happens? Economic activity this is cool, right the baker takes out his money and he goes and he buys a window the window maker Goes out and hires a workman to Make a window he then has to hire another workman to actually put the window into the baker's win into you know The glass into the baker's window. Wow GDP would just went up Because we met GDP is measured by this activity What's the fallacy that at the end of the day all we have is a window which we had before So how could they be economic activity? There's nothing new here Indeed there's less what has gone away the baker's money The baker's money that would have gone to do what? Build another furnace maybe invest in the bank which would have learned the money to some entrepreneur would have invented some new thing so War is the same thing This notion that we create economic activity by building tanks and blowing up buildings is Gotta be the most bizarre notion in human history yet Crogman holds this Consistently so when when this big hurricane swept through the east coast a few months ago Crogman was cheering Because it was gonna destroy stuff and When stuff gets destroyed you have to rebuild it and that creates economic activity and isn't that cool? and And he's right in this sense the GDP goes up Because the when the window is there and the money is in the bank being invested GDP is somewhat GDP measures consumption But the bake has not taken his money out of investment and he's consuming it by buying a window So nominally and the numbers it goes up, but that's why GDP is a lousy measure of economic activity It's not a good measure So yes during World War two GDP went up, but that standard of living go up Did quality of life go up? No, it went down people died and Unemployment went down. Well, that's easy You send half the male population overseas to fight a war unemployment's gonna go down, but The standard should be standard of living Quality of life and that clearly went down in World War two partially because your husbands and your kids were dying and partially because you know you were working to build tanks instead of building You know making bread and making technology and building stuff that we actually benefit our lives You're building stuff to blow stuff up. It doesn't create anything. So no World War two was a disaster What say the US economy is that after World War two? They'd realized that the disaster that the last 20 years had been and they unwound a lot of the regulation they freed up the economy and And and and we went back on a pseudo gold standard So Bretton Woods plus the fact that they deregulated a lot. They loosened up a lot of the controls that were imposed under FDR Made it possible for the economy to grow starting in 1945-46 Real growth. Yeah, it's it started under Truman and then Eisenhower. I mean they did a great job of Liberalizing the economy, but relative to where we were before They liberalized it so they didn't go all the way as they should have but they liberalized it a little bit enough to get The entrepreneurial juices of Americans going Okay, thank you all
