Tech legend DESTROYS Kamala’s plan to fight ‘price gouging’ as socialist policy that will result in BREADLINES



Kamala Harris’ plan to fight “price gouging” with price controls may be enough to fool low information voters, but it’s not fooling America’s best and brightest.

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” is one of them, telling his audience “I don’t like her very much.”

Tech legend David Friedberg from the “All-In Podcast” is another one — and he has a warning for those who blindly believe what Harris is saying about the supposed “price gouging” taking place at the grocery store.

“I unequivocally hate socialism. Socialism destroys innovation, destroys productivity, and destroys individual liberties,” Friedberg said in response to her plan.

“The free market works in that everyone is always competing with each other, creating new productivity improvements, and as a result, over time, prices come down. Except when the government intervenes and gets involved,” he continued.

“I would argue that the real cause of price inflation in food is not the supposed price gouging by corporate players in the AG and food industry, all of whom are deeply competitive with one another, but rather is the result of the inflation associated with government spending and stimulus coming out of COVID.”

Friedberg then pointed out that the FED balance sheet from COVID until today has grown from 4.2 trillion to 7.2 trillion, which is a growth of 70%.

“The Federal Reserve went out and they bought assets and they issued debt to banks and introduced liquidity into the system,” he explained, noting that the result of this was that the M2 money supply increased from 15 trillion to 21 trillion since COVID, which is a 40% increase.

“So, now there is more money in the system, so the cost of everything should go up. Which is exactly what we’ve seen,” he said, before sending a warning.

“Every socialist experiment in human history has started with caps on food, and it has resulted in breadlines,” he said. “This is a mistake, it is a problem, it is anti-American, it is anti-free market, it is anti-innovation, it is anti-productivity, and ultimately, it’s anti-liberty, and I cannot stand it.”

Elon Musk STUNS hosts with brutally honest answer about the future of Twitter



On “The Rubin Report,” BlazeTV host Dave Rubin shared a video clip from Twitter CEO Elon Musk’s surprise appearance on the “All-In" podcast with hosts David Sacks, Chamath Palihapitiya, Jason Calacanis, and David Friedberg.

Asked about Dave Rubin's observation of the New York Times’ inflated follower counts on Twitter, Musk gave a brutally honest answer about what has been going on behind the scenes at the social media company, what his first six weeks as the CEO have been like, and what new features Twitter users can expect in the near future.

"It's been quite a roller coaster," Musk said. "But overall that seems to be going in a good direction, and, you know, we've got the expenses reasonably under control, so the company's not in the fast lane to bankruptcy anymore, and we're releasing features faster than ever in Twitter's history at the same time as having contained the costs, and we've reduced the cost structure by a factor of three, maybe four."

Musk went on to describe several of the new features to verify user identities and organization affiliations and to eliminate bots or inauthentic accounts. Later in the podcast, he shocked his hosts by stating that "almost every conspiracy theory that people had about Twitter turned out to be true" as they discussed the Twitter Files, a set of reports released to expose Twitter's alleged information suppression and collusion with government agencies prior to Musk's purchase of the company in October 2022.
