I've got to admit that when the story first came out about Stockton Rush and the Titan sub thing, I thought it was, you know, interesting.
And then, the more I got into it, The more I realized this guy was a maniac.
And the more I read, and the more people explained, including the horrible, well, maybe not horrible, but this incredible sense of,
I don't know what the word is, This destruction, this obliteration of the members of this submarine, or submersible.
The more I read about him, and the more I hear about him, and the more that's coming on now, this guy was a maniac!
He was reckless beyond...
The stories don't end!
And I don't know how...
Remember, they didn't even take down the website.
They were planning another trip after...
So no matter...
It's like the godfather.
No matter how much I try to leave, it pulls me back in.
Well, let me go over the latest ones with you.
And again, this is tragic.
It's horrible.
But yet, it's fascinating.
And you would think that people...
Look, it's one thing for you to say, I have a company that...
You know, produces or promotes river rafting or flights or whatever it is.
But when I'm on it, and I'm in that submersible, in that floating suppository thing, you know, you would think, one would think, that you would do everything in your power to avoid...
Anyway.

The U.S. dollar has lost 85% of its value since the 70s when the dollar decoupled from gold, and the government seems bent on continuing the tradition.

And the last time they did that, inflation went up 9%.

All right, my friends.
I, frankly, never got the whole Stockton Rush thing, never got the Titanic thing.
Who wants to go look at the Titanic and this little stinky thing where you look out of a porthole and, okay, there it is.
He had more billionaires per square inch than anyone!
This is the most...
The whole thing doesn't make any sense to me.
I don't understand.
Why would you want to do this?
He had different forms, different items, different materials.
It should have been one piece of structure.
But then when he had the porthole, that...
It was a different structure, a different chemical composite, a different material, and that allows differentials and pressure and who knows.
He had a game, basically a toggle switch, a joy switch.
Here's the latest one the Titan CEO stocked in Rush.
They're saying he had a one-hour meltdown.
After he got another sub stuck in the Andrea Doria wreck in 2016.
And we're finding more and more about what kind of a jerk this guy was.
There's this engineer, David Lockridge, who was eventually fired for raising concerns about the Titan and Ocean Gate.
It's just incredible.
You're learning more and more and more.
A huge, this cavalcade of anecdotes and stories that are incredible.
Absolutely incredible.
He ignored multiple successive warnings from others in the, I guess, the deep sea community about why his sub or his submersible wasn't Remember, it's not a submarine.
A submarine is something that's powered.
This was basically this tube that just dropped.
And then, in order to, this isn't funny, in order to raise up, they lose the sandbags or whatever it is.
I'm making it, obviously, much more simple.
And I'm not laughing about this.
He refused to subject the Titan to a thermal scan that would have exposed alleged weaknesses and the like in the hall, instead of relying, as they say, on acoustics to signal vulnerabilities.
This Vanity Fair piece, which apparently came out recently, exposed the expo, details one incident where he watched It implode at 4,000 PSI, a pressure equivalent to only 2,700 meters.
He claimed it was a success.
And then this fellow Lockridge, who was booted for pointing out problems, who had moved from Scotland to Washington State with his family to work for Rush, he was fired for voicing his concerns.
And it goes on and on.
It's just incredible.
Look at this.
Among the observations where the Halbor Swiss cheese quote holds, when his verbal warnings were ignored, he put them in writing.
Listen to this.
He says that...
Verbal communications of the key items I have addressed in my attached document have been dismissed on several occasions, so I now feel I must make this report so there is an official record in place.
He was sued, I mean, this guy was sued by Rush and Ocean Gate, trying to compel him to pay his legal...
I mean, listen.
This, and I'm not one to necessarily Assess, you know, diagnoses of mental illness.
I mean, I do it, but I don't know.
I've never met, obviously not met Rush.
But this guy, you would think, one would think, would be so monumentally Attuned to safety.
And the billionaires, the billionaires, did you see, remember the waivers of liability?
They basically said, look, we don't know what we're doing here.
So you have to ask, who is crazier to Stockton Rush or anybody who would spend how much for this?
Remember the diet they had to go on?
It's basically like a pre-colonoscopy diet.
You know, low digestion.
You're in this cramped...
The bathroom was in the front where I don't know what you...
God forbid.
Who knows?
And you're sitting there in the dark and he's got a joystick from a kid's game.
And you're looking at this...
Yep.
There it is.
There's the old...
There it is.
That's the...
That's the...
That's it, all right.
That's the...
It's the Titanic.
Okay, can we go up now?
Great, we saw it.
People who want to go see the Grand Canyon, all due respect, I'm like Chevy Chase and, you know, the Griswolds.
It's like, yep, that's it.
That's the Grand Canyon.
But to get in this little, dark, dingy, just looking at it, when I mean...
And you've got billion, billionaires on that one trip.
The amount of billions that were transferred, just in terms of probate, it blows my mind.
And it makes you wonder, how many of these other...
Things out there are available.
You know, it's funny.
Sometimes we'll be traveling and the other day I saw one of these little rolling carnivals.
You know, these carnivals.
Not a state fair, but they'll go to a parking lot of a mall and they'll be there for a couple of weeks.
And you never hear anything goes wrong.
Nothing goes wrong with these.
People with one eye and tattoos with words misspelled, ex-cons, and nothing ever happens.
Nothing.
And in a sense, I feel safer with them than with this guy.
It's a bit moot right now, but it makes you wonder.
What is the psychology of somebody who goes on these things in the first place?
And what is the psychology of somebody who says, I don't care about the safety because I'm whatever.
All right, dear friend.
