First, you know, 20 years ago, man, a lot has happened in my life. I was 22 years old. I was not yet married. Now, just think back over the past 20 years. Wife, five kids, big business, all of it. What? 20 years of long time, simply safe is now celebrating 20 years. Again, most companies don't make it that long unless they're actually solving a real problem. When you're picking a security system for your home, what you're looking for is peace of mind. The goal is not to obsess over your security. The goals you never have to think about it again. And that's what I like about simply safe. Most home security systems are designed for after something goes wrong. After the window breaks, after someone gets inside, after your phone buzzes, simply safe approach is different. It's

1:03designed to help stop a break in before it happens. They're AI powered outdoor cameras to detect suspicious activity around your home. Alert live, US-based agents.

It's more in this in a moment first. I saw this new peer talk offer and my first thought was that is cheaper than a burner phone and a spy movie. Really, except it's actually a real phone unless you need a burner phone or a business phone or phone for your teen for a limited time. Any peer talk plan is just 15 bucks a month for your first three months. No contracts, no cancellation fees, outstanding US-based customer service and consumer reports gave them five stars in every single category. Peer talk is great. I've been using it for years. Go do it yourself with the best you'll ever offered. Head on over to puretalk.com slash Shapiro before this offer

2:03disappears. That's puretalk.com slash Shapiro. I already folks it's been a while since we've done some more tick tox and the time has come yet again. My producers are torturing me here on Labor Day. So let us begin. It's fun and game. This video is sponsored by friends over at ramp. It's all made up. The way our current society is designed, it's literally designed to drive a person insane. They expect too much out of us. They expect us to work all of our waking hours for little to no pay. They can treat us however they want. We're not supposed to crash out or talk back. We're just supposed to mainly shut up and take it. And if you have a bad reaction or you eventually get to a point where you've had all you can take, everybody just looks at you like you're some type of a cancer on society. I am very, very, very, very upset about this. I mean, I have a feeling that it's not the

3:04society that's making you like this. As you stare dead eyed into the camera non-blinking, they keep making me crazy. They're making me so crazy. I'm so crazy right now, but they won't accept it. It's the society making me crazy. They just keep saying I'm crazy. Am I crazy? Do I look crazy to you? The thing, oh my god, this one's about capital. The only people that really benefit are the top 0.003%. Agreed. It's very simple. It's just way too imbalanced. Capitalism is a system of evil. The unfairness of the entire system. But you think that putting other people down is the only way that you can win. Yep. You know, you could just give all that money to charity. Yeah good. You could do that, but you're not going to do any of that, are you? You're just going to get your about capitalism while you're clear to that check. By the way, the greatest line all of human history is the capitalism only benefits the people at the top. That is the biggest crock of horses. Communism only benefits the people at the top. They're the ones who have the nice houses

4:04and the nice apartments and the nice cars and everyone else is dirt poor. The poor people in capitalism are richer than pretty much everyone else in the non-capitalist world. Very systemic intention of growing up in a capitalistic hierarchy, growing up impoverished in a capitalistic hierarchy is the feeling that unless you come from financial stability and financial prosperity, you aren't allowed to have casual hobbies that aren't making you any money. You aren't allowed to have hobbies that you do not monetize because you feel like you're wasting your time and wasting money. I fully am aware of the fact that my articulation isn't where it used to be and it is actively slipping away from me, not like at a dangerous degree, but I do feel like I am not as articulate as I used to be when I was in high school, one because of neurodivergency that is going on treated because of poverty and two because I don't read because books cost money. What? Capitalism is the reason you don't read? First of all, I feel like that's a pretty monetizable skill reading and knowing things. I've made a pretty good living doing some of those

5:09things. You don't read. That's your takeaway from the capitalism is that you can't get books. Capitalism made books so cheap that it put libraries literally out of business because it is cheaper for you to get a book from Amazon than it is to get in your cars who go to the library and check it out in many cases. I grew up in Canada, okay? We have socialized medicine and I am here to tell you that this bullshit line that you get on all of the political shows from people is that it's a failure. The system is a failure in Canada. It is not a failure in Canada. I never waited for anything in my life. I chose my own doctors. My mother never paid for a prescription. It was fantastic and I just got back from Vancouver and I keep hearing this like Canadians are so nice. Canadians are so nice. They can be nice because they have health care. Because they have a government that cares about them. We have to say yes to socialism, to the word and everything. You could go back to Canada where you would earn zero dollars for your funny faces.

6:12You could do that. I noticed and also it is not true. The reality is the wait times for things that are pretty necessary. Like for example, cancer treatments in Canada are exorbitants that everybody who is rich in Canada has a serious health care problem comes down to the United States for that problem. Canadians are not nice because they have nationalized health care. That's a weird, weird day. Because it turns out that we have a quasi-form of nationalized health care in the United States called Medicaid. Another one called Medicare. The people who are on those don't seem markedly nicer than the people who are on private insurance. This is a kind of a strange take. We'll get to more of whatever this is in a moment. First imagine if I did this show using three weeks ago. Breaking news. Everybody from three weeks ago you would not be watching. Because information is only useful if you get it in time to actually do something useful with it. And yet that's kind of how a lot of businesses manage their expenses. They wait until the end of the month, they close the books and then they discover where the money went. That is a backwards way to do things. Ramp lets you see every dollar moving through your business in real time. Expense coding happens automatically. Transaction sync directly to your ERP. Instead of discovering

7:13bad spending after the fact, you set the rules up front. Merchant controls, category limits, approval workflows, so out of policy spending can be blocked before it ever happens. There's a real difference between catching a problem while you can still act on it. And finding a barrier to the report through a bit late. Once it's already too late to do anything, but complain about it. Ramp gives businesses competitive credit limits based on real-time business financials. No personal guarantee required. It's already working for more than 70,000 businesses. Ramp reports $12 billion saved and 27 million hours of busy work eliminated. The average company sees 5% savings and 16% revenue growth in the first year alone. So stop running your business on last month's news. Stop waiting until next month. Switch to ramp. See it all in real time. New customers get $250 off their ramp.com slash Shapiro. It's ramp.com slash Shapiro ramp.com slash Shapiro. Communism has exceeded in every country. It was tried speedrun. Before the Cuban Revolution and the Communists took over, basically nobody had rights. Black people didn't have rights. Women didn't have rights. Most of the land was basically working on trigger plantains and were effectively slaves. And most of the island was owned by four nationals who were not citizens of the country after the communist revolution. Basically all of that went away changed

8:16and improved. Their literacy rate is almost 100% and their life expectancy is currently higher than America. Same exact situation with China before the communist took over. Basically the entire country wasn't even a country. They had no centralized government. They had no infrastructure. It was a land of poor land of agrarian feudal peasants with no education and no literacy run by warlords and it was war torn. After the communists took over, the life expectancy shot up almost doubled, almost triple. And the modern China is a direct result of Mao Zedong taking over. I mean, I guess the tens of millions of dead people was like a kind of sad side effect or something. And also mass starvation in China as a result of Mao Tse Dong's rule. That wasn't a thing. And I guess the Cubans who fled by literally the hundreds of thousands over the course of the last several decades, they must have just been misinformed because they had a great all the Cuban expats who came over to Florida trying to literally float cars from Cuba to the United States. It was because they just didn't understand how good they had it. You know, if this dude wants to immigrate to Cuba or to China, he could try it today and see how well it

9:19goes for him. Love you all, but there's a few people in here that have a lot more money than me. And uh, then I, if you're a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No, hey, but yeah, give your money away. Jordy's love you guys. Thank you so much. I'll give you money away. I said for my mansion, is he rich or then I am. I like how rich is like $1 richer than she is. If you make $1 more than Billy Eilish, then you should give all your money away. But if you make Billy Eilish money, you're one of the people. That's the way this works. Charity begins with the person who makes $1 more than I do. If you still think communism is a bad idea, I want you to do research into the amount of money that the United States has funded into suppressing communist movements. They've done this across the world, but the most notable case is Fred Hampton and the Rainbow Coalition. Fred Hampton was revolutionary in the civil rights era and he started the Rainbow Coalition, which was uniting, working class people across black, white, gay, everyone. And that's when they killed him. That's

10:25when the FBI went into his house and killed him while he was sleeping next to his pregnant wife. They were so scared that white, brown, black people would unite under the cause of realizing that the real oppression is capitalism, the real impression is the bourgeoisie that they killed him. That is insane. I mean, the killing of Fred Hampton was indeed a bad, bad thing. That radicalized you against capitalism totally. Stalin getting tens of millions of people killed or male killing 40 million people or communism killing hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world and of wide variety of other conflicts. That's not radicalized you against communism, but the federal government essentially assassinating Fred Hampton. That radicalized you against the entire American system forever. That was that was the thing. Okay. The problem is capitalism. The problem is the exploitation of the working class. The problem is that the system has been set up so that you can work and work and work for hours and days and weeks and months and years on end and not see any gain or any benefit from it. Your work doesn't benefit you. It benefits the people that you're working for.

11:31The problem is that the people in power and the people who make the laws are having their pockets filled by companies and corporations so that they do exactly as they're told. The problem is that we live in a sociopathic economic system where some people are deemed more valuable than others. And if you don't have any economic value, then you deserve nothing. You don't get healthcare. You don't get housing. You don't get your basic human rights respected or protected. All you get is exploited for all the money that they can get out of you and then you die. I mean, I'm sorry that she's having a life that she doesn't like very much, but she seems to have housing and probably healthcare and she's talking into a capitalist-made phone. Yeah. Get rid of capitalism and pretty much this whole thing doesn't exist, including the video because ain't no innovation. We're living through a moment in time where people in charge are people with the most money are telling us to fear one another. But we know better than that. The first people that authoritarians try to shut down are not politicians. They're journalists who ask questions. They're the artists who refuse simple answers that the filmmakers, writers, actors and musicians.

12:34That is true. It is also true that no one has shut down George Clooney or journalists or any of that. So what are you talking about, man? And also when you say rich people are, they're the ones who are polarizing us. George Clooney is so rich. He's incredibly, incredibly wealthy. And you know what's kind of polarizing is suggesting that the people who disagree with you are authoritarians who are akin to Mussolini or Hitler. That's kind of polarizing a little. Oh, God, I can't even listen to this. I can't know why am I going deaf? I love how we are now just hijacking terms and making the mean different thing. The most America first thing would be if we just surrendered to the Soviet Union. That'd have been the most America first thing ever. Okay, man. That was horrifying. And my producers get a sick pleasure in torturing me with that sort of stuff. So if you have any other TikToks you would like me to react. You can drop them in the comments below. Otherwise, have yourself a very nice weekend and get back to work.
