Okay, what shocks you about your rise to infamy?
I wouldn't say anything shocked me about it.
That's a very good question.
Thank you.
Am I arrogant to think it was always going to happen?
and I deserve it.
Not I deserve it because I'm so great, but I deserve it because I'm brave enough to help other people. I think God gave it to me because I'm here to help other people. I genuinely believe God gave it to me so that I could run tapepledge.com and feed starving children.
help people escape the matrix before the hole in the cloud saves this closes save people from depression by explaining to them that nobody cares
I believe I have a purpose. I believe that's why it was given to me.
I think it's interesting now
Thank you.
that
I feel like fame has changed. I don't feel like there's very many famous people anymore.
you know in the 90s or the 80s hulk hogan was famous he was everywhere yeah michael jackson michael jackson everywhere
I feel like maybe I'm one of the last true superstars. I think, who's as famous as me? And I can't think of anyone. You can name a rapper...
And I guarantee if that rapper walked down the street in Mumbai or Bucharest or...
- Hey.
Tokyo.
He'd get approached less than me. Maybe in America he might be known. But like global world fame. I can't go anywhere. I can't go anywhere without being swarmed.
anywhere. I was in Slovenia.
when that video was made with the thousands of people around the Bugatti. I can't go anywhere.
I don't know if anyone's even famous anymore.
But I feel like I've only got it to try and help people. I think that's what I have to do. That's why I have to tell the truth.
I'm not shocked by how I've been attacked for it. I guess the true answer is I'm shocked I'm still here.
I'm shocked they haven't got rid of me yet.
I am shocked by that.
If you were to ask me before I was famous, how long can you be famous and really tell the truth?
I would have said, because I'm a professional, I would have said, how famous? The most famous man in the world.
Tell the truth to who?
to everybody, especially the military-aged males, the number one demographic they need to sign up to die in army and to work their ass off as the backbone of the slave force while having no rights.
I would have said a couple months.
There's no way they're going to let you for years just talk.
and wake up people's minds once they're awake they ain't going back
And they would have said, how do you get rid of him? I probably would have said, well, you delete him from everything. What if he doesn't get deleted? Well, you put him in jail. What if he gets out of jail? And then you kill him.
I'm surprised I'm still here.
Surprise, we're filming. It's been years now.
Everything's a lie. It's all a lie.
Don't believe it. Everything they tell you is a lie.
Money doesn't work the way they tell you it works. School doesn't work the way they tell you it works.
The things they tell you to do to get rich, like get a mortgage and just pay that off after you pay off all your student debts, never going to make you rich.
"Everything about geopolitics is a lie. "We don't need to kill all the people in Yemen for no reason."
It's all lie.
Is there an ideology society holds that you think is the most damaging? Well, they all work together in a perfect concoction.
So it's difficult to choose which one is the most damaging because all of the ideologies which are being pushed by the matrix are designed to destroy something. So you can have different diseases
Imagine society is a human body. One disease is aimed at destroying the hands, another one's aimed at destroying the legs. They're all equally important and they work together in succinct,
succinctity is that word I don't know if it is good and if it's not add it please topg said so
They work together to ensure that the body is destroyed.
If I see an ideology being pushed in the mainstream, I know that it's destructive.
Because everything is a lie. So then you have to sit down and work out how it is destructive and truthfully, it's not that difficult to decipher.
Feminism is also designed to do the same thing.
A man wants a wife.
He doesn't want husband. And feminism makes women into men, effectively. Feminism is probably the most misogynistic movement on earth because what it does is it makes women into men.
competitors with men in realms where they can't compete with men.
So it puts women in a position where they're just going to lose. It tells women, you can do anything a man can do. You go do it. And then they just get annihilated. And then we have to have diversity hires so they don't get so obviously annihilated. Why would you take a woman and put her into a realm where she can't compete unless you want to see her humiliated?
Feminism is an awfully misogynistic ideology, and is once again designed at attacking and destroying the family unit. So you can name any of these ideologies, and I'll tell you why they're pushing it. They're pushing it to destroy the baseline society that's required for humans to build
A...
life in which they're prepared to protect.
If you destroy a man's family, and you destroy his ability to raise his own kids and his wife to respect him, and you destroy his ability to go anywhere,
Well, then what is he? He's a slave. And that's what they want. So all of these ideologies have different goals, but they're all a Trojan horse. And that's why every single time they try and push anything, I'm instantly and utterly against it.
If you're going to push this feminist narrative, and you're going to tell women they have to compete with men,
And a woman's going to buy into that. And she's going to see herself in competition with men inside the workforce or inside society in masculine realms.
Is she going to feel...
hateful or resentful towards men.
to a degree, I'd argue she would, because
A woman in a feminine realm will destroy a man.
as she should. She has all the advantages. And I'll sit here and say that women in feminine realms outperform men 100% of the time.
By extension, in masculine realms, men will outperform women 100% of the time.
So if you're going to try and turn women into men, what you're going to have is you're going to have short, broke, emotional men.
who are going to lose to big, strong, tall, stoic men.
And then they're going to be resentful of the men who do better than them.
And then you're going to give that resentful person power to destroy any man's life at a whim without evidence.
I'm just talking out loud, I don't know.
Is that scary?
It is kind of scary. And then you come along and say, OK, well, we've tried to turn these women into men and they're not doing that well.
So we're going to do diversity hires and hire the women over the men, even though the men outperform them.
And if you look at her wrong, she can destroy your life at random.
And you have to pay all your taxes, go build the roads.
And you're not allowed to have an opinion. And if they're fat, you have to find them attractive. Otherwise, you're a misogynist.
and your kids are gay, don't say anything about it.
Thank you.
Rico Chow.
Freedom! Democracy!
Don't you love we live in a free society? Isn't it great?
Freedom. It's my new book, Money Matrix. Money Matrix.
Free society. We live in a free society. It's so free here. I feel free.
Do you?
Does money make you happy?
Thank you.
Money to me now.
is like,
hands.
Hear me out. I use it all the time.
And I'm glad I have it. I don't consciously think I'm super glad I have hands.
Maybe occasionally, if I see somebody without hands, I'm like, "Thank God I have hands." But most of the time you just expect it to be there. You just use your hands. You expect it to be there. You take it for granted.
If I lost my hands, I would be devastated.
I don't appreciate them as much as I should.
I should appreciate them more because I could lose them at any point.
And that's exactly how I view money.
Because if I want something, I just take it. The world for me is free. I try to explain this to people and they don't understand. I'm like, when you're as rich as me, the only way it feels is that everything is free. If I see something and I want it, I just say, yeah, I'll take that.
It's free. It's like, imagine there's no more prices on things.
The only reason I don't take something is because I don't want it or I don't want to deal with putting up with it or putting it somewhere because I already have so much stuff.
Everything is free all the time. I go into a clothing store going to Louis Vuitton. Yeah, give me this this this this and
Give me this.
Bro, I'll go into Louis Vuitton and there's a tracksuit and I can't be bothered to try it on. I'll buy all four sizes and I'll work out later which one fits and I'll throw the others away.
Everything's free. It doesn't matter.
I don't want to take my jacket off. Put it on.
Headache.
So that's how it feels. Now, if I had to go back to being broke, I would be like, "You didn't appreciate being rich nearly enough."
But I'm in the NBA.
So that can't happen to me.
But that's how money feels. Does money make me happy?
- Thank you.
Okay.
Do my hands make me happy?
Well, no. I don't wake up and go, "I'm happy I have hands." No. But if I didn't have hands, I'd probably be a lot less happy.
It's a requirement for happiness that I just expect to be there. I also feel like we're living in the last years where there's a...
a whole
in the matrix where there's any degree of social mobility i think we're to end up back at feudalism there's going to be kings
See at the top, my friend. How many Ferraris? No. Diamond watch-- arguing about our diamond watches. To be us?
And there'll be everyone else. Right now, there's still a degree of social mobility where if you're intelligent and you're perspicacious and you're indefatigable and you work hard and you manage to find a gap and you really dedicate yourself and you try your best, you can make enough money to get out.
In 20 years, the rich are gonna be rich, and the poor are gonna be poor, and it's done.
It is done. Because the average price of a house is going to just continue to skyrocket. The wages are not going to follow it. You're never going to own any assets. The assets are going to be owned by all the rich people. You're going to be paying us rent.
It's over. And there's another thing I find interesting because people come to me often. The question I get asked most is,
And or I lack motivation.
You have 10 years left to save your bloodline from eternal slavery.
and you lack motivation,
You are born to lose, sir. You are a loser.
All of your ancestors who fought saber-toothed tigers should have just laid down and died.
Because they fought their best for you to be born so you can jack off the pornhub during the last few years where you stand a chance to save your last name from eternal serfdom.
You are a dickhead.
And you deserve to be poor.
The last thing you should lack in the mess of the world today is motivation.
Because you are running out of time.
And I'm telling you as a rich man who made it out, I can see the gap is closing. I can see it. So you should certainly see it.
I'm above in the clouds, looking down on the hole closing in. You're down below, looking up, watching it close, and you lack motivation to build a ladder.
"Oh, well, maybe tomorrow."
Dum-dum-dum.
Maybe government will save me. Maybe if I vote for the liberals, they'll give me money.
Slave minds, clowns, fools.
The last thing you should lack in the world today is motivation because truly people are running out of time.
Did it make you better at managing and moving your money, being in jail, having to move and managing money? Well, I was prepared for a matrix attack from the beginning.
But...
I guess now I've been to the test and I've been OK. I've always understood that anything you have in your name, you don't own. And anything you think you own is just a piece of paper. All the judge has to do is stamp another piece of paper and you don't own it. So, own nothing, control everything. That's the goal. So I was prepared for all this. So
Jail made me famous, yes, because I was prepared for it. Well, you'd already made yourself famous before jail. Completely. But also, if I had left jail mentally broken and financially broken, it wouldn't have made me more famous. And physically broken.
Because all those three things could have happened. Please understand, I was in 24-hour-a-day lockdown. My cell was half the size of this room, and I didn't leave.
I didn't get a gym.
I didn't come out looking all scrawny. I didn't get good nutrition. I didn't get good food.
I had most people in there had mental health problems. If I would have come out there all skinny and mentally broken, then it would have been game over. So there's also a degree of my competence in all things.
But the people who laugh at me going to jail don't understand that
There's no light without dark, and I'm an expert, I guess, if you were to say one of my skills is. I'm an expert at being hard on myself, and if life's going to be hard on me, I'm going to Aikido that into...
Power.
I would believe I'm a stronger version of myself post-jail.
And if you put me back,
I'll emerge stronger than ever before. Send me to jail.
Fine.
Send me to jail. Right now, I'll go. I'm not going to fight. Put me in handcuffs. Send me to jail. The day you let me out.
I'll be a stronger version of the day I went in.
So what do I have to fear? Because if you truly want an exceptional life, this is one of the mistakes a lot of people make,
They want an exceptional life, but they only want the exceptional good.
because they're cowards. Like, "I want a lot of money and fast cars."
Cool. You don't want the exceptional stress.
You want the exceptional car collection, you don't want the exceptional stress. You want to be me when I'm flying my Bugahi on A380 and I'm in first class Emirates and my Bugahi's below me and I'm filming it for Take Confidential. You want that, but you don't want to be me when I'm in a Romanian dungeon.
But there is no like Bodark.
If you want the exceptional good, you're going to have the exceptional bad. That is a law of the universe that can't be broken. That is not human law. That's universal law. So if you're sitting at home saying, I want an exceptional life, then you have to be prepared for both the good and the bad.
Because if you're not prepared for the bad, what's going to happen on your ascent to good? As you begin to get anywhere, something will happen, some degree of stress or whatever, and it's going to derail you, and you're never going to get to the highest echelon.
So I've always been ready for the bad.
I'm totally prepared for the bad. I was made in the dark, molded by it. I'm vain. Put me in the bad. My whole life's been bad. My whole life's been terrible. I know nothing but pain.
So I don't care. And I'm not going to lie to you.
par of me.
truly hopes I go back.
Because I know when I'm 80, if I make it that long.
Those years!
Okay.
They dropped the case.
What were those years spent doing? I make beautiful children with beautiful women. I drive beautiful cars, stay in beautiful hotels, fly in my beautiful private lane.
Nice.
But maybe the story would be a bit cooler.
I went to jail. It came crazy.
Maybe the story's cooler. Maybe. Maybe. And I kind of like that it's up to God.
I'm going to do my very best to not go to jail. Of course, I'm a responsible adult.
But if I use this matrix attack, let's imagine it's all been set up from the beginning.
And it's all designed to destroy my influence. And they've realized my influence is not being destroyed. And they've realized I'm not going to shut up. And I haven't learned my lesson. And I'm still here running my mouth. And they're going to put me back in the dungeon for five years, six years, seven years, eight years, 10 years.
When I'm older,
That'd be a cool story, wouldn't it? What's the point of being alive if you haven't got a story?
So I kinda like it's up in the air, it's a coin flip. Heads is good, tails is good.
It is what it is. I'm afraid. And I refuse to be.
because that's what they want. They want me to be afraid, they want me to not smile, and they want me to shut up.
So I refuse.
Stop it.
This has been a pleasure. Thank you, Andre. Thank you very much.
