Here are the facts because you know nothing about sports, Harry… Kaepernick wasn’t blackballed by the NFL. He tanked his own career. • He was benched after an abysmal 2-6 start in which he barely completed half of his passes. • It was only after becoming a backup that he first decided to kneel during the national anthem. • His play had regressed significantly as both a passer and a running threat. • After injuries, a demotion, and increasingly divisive activism, he opted out of his contract with San Francisco in 2017. • He made himself unappealing to other teams by becoming a constant political distraction. • In 2017, the Ravens were interested in signing him, but he conspired with his then-gf to compare Lewis and Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti to characters from "Django Unchained” • In November 2019, the NFL arranged a highly unusual league-wide workout for Kaepernick in Atlanta. All 32 teams were invited. But hours before it began, Kaepernick moved the workout from the NFL’s chosen facility to a nearby high school. Dart is a first-round pick, who simply introduced the sitting president of the United States at a local rally. Stop talking sports. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Great conversation. Appreciate how much time you spend on @Sofi . Thank you @stevenfiorillo and @amitisinvesting for having me on @basispointpod!

Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software. 5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed. 6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost. 7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way. 8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. 9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret. 10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed. 11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice. 12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin. 13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet. 14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war. 15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia. 16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn. 17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives. 18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within. 19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all. 20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim. 21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

🔻 OBAMA JUST LAWYERED UP. AND NOW WE KNOW WHY. March 2, 2026. 7:00 AM. Barack Hussein Obama has retained a team of 9 criminal defense attorneys. Not civil. Not advisory. Criminal. The same man who told you “Hope and Change” is now preparing for a federal grand jury subpoena expected by March 7. ⚡️ THE $150 BILLION LIE In 2016, Obama sent Iran $150 billion and $1.7 billion in physical cash — pallets of money loaded onto unmarked cargo planes in the middle of the night. He told you it was a nuclear deal. It wasn’t. The DOJ files released yesterday show that $2.3 billion of Epstein’s network ran through Iranian banks. Deutsche Bank. JPMorgan. And Bank Melli Iran — a state-owned bank under Obama’s “nuclear deal” exemptions. Obama didn’t pay Iran to stop enriching uranium. He paid Iran to store the evidence. The server farm. The blackmail tapes. The financial records. All moved to Tehran between 2016 and 2019 — on Obama’s watch, through Obama’s channels, with Obama’s money. Trump just sent the military to recover it. Now Obama needs 9 lawyers. 🔻 THE HARVARD CONNECTION Two days ago, Lawrence Summers — Obama’s top economic advisor and former Harvard president — resigned from Harvard without explanation. His name appears on the Butterfly Foundation recipient list. The $340 million Epstein trust. Summers met with Epstein at least 14 times after his 2008 conviction. At Harvard. At the mansion. At the island. Obama appointed him as Director of the National Economic Council in 2009 — one year after Epstein’s conviction. Not despite the connection. Because of it. ⚡️ THE CLINTON TESTIMONY Bill Clinton testified under subpoena before the House Oversight Committee this week. First time in history a former president was deposed in a criminal investigation by Congress. Hillary testified separately. Behind closed doors. But here’s what matters: Clinton was asked about Obama. Specifically about a 2015 meeting at the Clinton Foundation where Obama, Clinton, Summers, and Epstein’s lawyer were all present. The subject of that meeting? “Asset relocation.” Assets. Not money. Not investments. Evidence. 🔻 THE TIMELINE 2015 — Meeting at Clinton Foundation. “Asset relocation” discussed. 2016 — Obama sends $150 billion to Iran. Pallets of cash. 2017 — NSA intercepts CIA black site communications inside Iran. 2019 — Epstein arrested. Then murdered. Tapes “disappear.” 2025 — Trump returns. Bondi appointed. Investigation reopens. 2026 — US military recovers tapes from Tehran. Obama lawyers up. Every dot connects. Every dollar traces back. Every lie has an expiration date. And Obama’s just expired. ⟁ The grand jury meets March 7. Share this. The world needs to see the full picture.
