Joe Rogan Experience #929 - Dan Peña

Really? California. I don't even know where Eureka, California is. It's about
200 miles north of San Francisco.
Oh. In the middle of weed country. The whole state's weed country now. Well, I'm
going to look at a weed deal.
Can I just tell you that you are impeccably dressed in a very unique and
original way? Thank you.
I mean, you're dressed really well, but I've never seen a guy dressed as well
as you with such unusual colors and the tie and the shirt.
My wife dresses me. Does she? Yeah. She's trying to keep you from getting laid.
That's what it is. Well, Sally, did you hear that?
She's making you just look real flamboyant where people just don't know what to
think.
Yeah. I like the whole thing. The scarf. Thank you. You got in the pocket.
Yeah. This is how I dress, though. Can you pull this right up to you?
Sure. Sorry. These things are very directional.
This is how I dress. All the time? Yeah. I get it.
Well, I mean, at the house, boxer shorts and a T-shirt.
That's it? Yeah. In the house. And then outside?
Outside, I'm normally dressed like this. Dressed up.
Or in my uniform, my three-piece suit.
Yesterday, I gave a talk in Beverly Hills to some kids, and I was in my three-piece
suit.
What do you give a talk about?
One of my mentees is a guy named Jason Capital, who is the—he doesn't say it
this way, but he is the preeminent expert on how to get laid.
And he's got not quite as many followers as you do, but a million or a million
and a half.
Really? And it's just teaching people how to get laid?
No, no, no. He doesn't build self-esteem.
Oh.
But, I mean, at the end of the day, all these little weenies want to get laid.
So he teaches him how to not be a little weenie anymore.
Correct.
How to man up or something.
Yeah, and so he asked me if I'd talk to his—he's got different programs, you
know, they sell, upsell, upsell, upsell.
Right.
His premier group I talked to yesterday, so there's about 60, 70 guys who
obviously must pay the most money to him monthly.
Yeah.
But he's got 40,000 people that pay him between 80 bucks and 3,000 a month.
What?
Yeah.
That's insane.
Fucking right, I know.
And he's just teaching them how to be a man?
Crap.
Well, how did he learn how to be a man?
How did I?
How did he?
Oh, his dad beat the fuck out of him, just like my dad beat me.
Oh.
Well, that's what we need more, right?
And Jason Capital is not his name.
He's got a Polish name.
He's from Detroit.
Oh.
But that's a big secret, that name.
But he's Jason Capital.
And he's good-looking.
He's a really good-looking guy.
Well, that helps if you want to get laid.
Yeah, but if you want to teach people how to get laid, that helps.
Yeah, but you can't really teach that, though.
Like, you can't teach being a good-looking guy.
Yeah, well, no.
But I told the kids when I was their age, I got—and I was single and pre-AIDS,
I got more ass than a toilet seat at a bus station.
That's a lot.
Yeah, but I did.
And last night, I had dinner with a buddy of mine who, unfortunately, he's got
Agent Orange now.
He's got Agent Orange?
Yeah, yeah, no.
He was afflicted by it?
Yeah, he's a war hero, Marine War hero from Vietnam.
And he was one of the guys that I used to run around with.
And I brought back some of the memories.
And his daughter's going, you mean you were a slut dad?
Whoa.
You shouldn't talk like that in front of the young lady.
Yeah, and then I was sorry I brought up the subject.
Yeah, you can't do that in front of certain gals, especially today.
Yeah.
Man horn, it's not appreciated anymore.
No, no, no.
So this guy is—I can't believe people are paying $3,000 a month.
What could he possibly be giving him for $3,000 a month?
Well, content of some sort, I've never looked at it, so I can't really tell you.
Content.
Yeah.
I mean, content's the name of the game.
Jamie, I need a mug, buddy.
Oh, sure.
It's all right.
Content is the name of the game, but $3,000 seems like you'd have to come to
your house
and give you back rubs.
I mean, that's a lot of fucking money, man.
That's like a mortgage.
That's crazy.
$3,000 a month.
The $80 a month, I can understand.
Well, even that's a lot.
Like, what has he given you?
I mean, Netflix is $9.
You can watch documentaries until your ears bleed.
You know?
Yeah, I've only turned my Netflix on a couple times.
It's interesting.
But, yeah, so I was there, gave a talk.
It ran over.
I talked two and a half hours, and then I went out to Valencia to see my buddy,
the Marine
guy, for dinner, and it took three and a half hours to get to Valencia from
Beverly Hills.
Yeah, it's a ridiculous piece of traffic we have out here.
Yeah, yeah.
A set of, a scene of traffic.
It's pretty, it's way worse than it was when I first moved here in 94.
And I got to wonder what it's going to be like 20 years from now.
It's going to be insane.
It's going to be.
Well, then hopefully they'll have hover cars that dodge each other.
Well, we were talking about that yesterday.
We watched some clips from Blade Runner, that movie Blade Runner.
Oh, great, great flick.
That was supposed to be 2019.
Like, that's only supposed to be two years from now.
Isn't that crazy?
I didn't realize that.
Yeah.
Harrison Ford.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Daryl Hannah, Rutger Hauer.
Great movie.
Yeah.
Like, one of my favorite all-time sci-fi movies.
But, hard to believe that that was supposed to be just a couple years from now.
Like, people really overestimated the amount of technology we'd have by then.
Well, I mean, they overestimated that, but in some things they underestimated.
Like the internet.
Yeah.
Correct.
I mean, when I first said 30 years ago, the two things to get involved in were
healthcare
and telecommunications, which morphed into the internet, I had no idea what the
internet
was going to be.
You know, people measure returns on their investment and return on the minute,
not return on the
hour or the month or return on capital, because things can change, you know, in
a few seconds.
Well, how do you feel about that?
I'm sorry to interrupt you.
Go ahead.
But how do you feel about that, of a guy that's been an investor for as long as
you've
been, how do you feel about this new thing where they're using computers and
algorithms
to buy and trade, like literally at the speed of sound?
They're just click, click, click, going back and forth depending on the trends.
And they're paying money to get a server that's as close as possible to the
exchange, so that
they're literally like buying and selling in milliseconds.
They're a millionth of a second ahead of everybody else because they're closer
to the exchange.
I came up the old way.
I don't really, I appreciate the progress, but I don't like it because most
people don't
understand it.
And like I was tweeting this morning, gold's down, oil broke $48 a barrel or $49
a barrel,
and how has your 401k improved?
What are your gurus telling you to do now?
The market's up, depending on how you want to measure, 20, 25 percent since
Trump got elected
on the 8th of November, and hardly anybody's benefited.
The guys that have benefited are the guys that drive the indices.
He's created $3 trillion in market cap on just the New York Stock Exchange, but
most people
haven't benefited because 70 to 90 percent, depending on how you want to count
or calculate,
of that money is big money.
Rockefeller, Pena, Trump, et cetera.
And so the average guy, the average Joe, didn't benefit.
You know, I ask anybody listening, check your 401k or your pension plan, tell
me how much
it's up since November 8th.
Most people say nothing.
So part of that is just what you're alluding to, the algorithms, because it's
the fast big
money that's making all the big money, although hedge funds have fallen out of
favor the last
couple of years because their returns haven't been the same as even the indices.
So you're feeling, how do you feel about the things that Trump is doing right
now and the
way he's, you know, he's bringing on all these guys that have worked for these
major corporations
like Exxon and he's, they're doing that whole thing that he announced the other
day of creating
45,000 jobs in the Gulf Coast.
And like, if you look at it, there was a thing on the New York Times today, I
think, that was
talking about, maybe it was Time Magazine, was talking about he's created 239,000
jobs since
he's been in office, which is a, what is it, a couple of months?
Yeah.
Not that long.
So are you, from a business standpoint, forget about like socially, but from a
business
standpoint.
Let me make a disclaimer first.
I know Trump.
Okay.
And I knew him from that late eighties in the, um, in the early nineties,
because one
of my partners and one of my mentors was governor Hugh Carey, the former
governor of New York.
So because of his New York relationship and also one of my ex-business partners
was mayor
Wagner, the former mayor of New York.
So I knew Trump then.
So, but I haven't, I haven't talked to him in over 20 years, but getting back
to your original
question, um, the, um, I believe that as, um, there's a reason why he's meeting
with all
the CEOs of all these, uh, major industries because nobody else has ever done
it.
Uh, I believe, uh, I believe, and as I endorsed him, I was one of the early
endorsers of Trump.
And I said that, um, if he's serious and he'll win, he knows how to win.
He doesn't know how to lose.
If he's serious, he's going to rock the fucking planet, not just the U S but
the world.
And the financial models are changing in Europe.
Uh, not just because of Brexit, the financial models are changing, uh, in
Russia, the financial
models are changing in, in, in China because they've got a guy, I got an alpha
male in office
that is surrounding himself with alpha males.
It's no coincidence that 60% of his staff are ex-military.
I mean, the press secretary is a goddamn Lieutenant commander of the Navy.
Uh, you know, not counting all the four star generals that he's got.
Um, so I don't agree with everything he says.
I don't agree with everything he tweets.
I wouldn't tweet as many, as much as he does.
But I do agree that the country needed change, financial change, and he's going
to bring it.
Now, whether he gets elected a second term or not, I don't know.
But I do believe, and I've said, Joe, that this is the, November the 8th was
the beginning
of the greatest transformation of wealth the planet has ever fucking seen since
World War II.
How so?
Because, well, I mean, just look at $3 trillion so far in stock market.
I believe it's going to be $100 trillion he's going to add to the market before
he's going
to leave office.
Please explain to a dummy like me.
How does that work?
Well, you're not a dummy, but anyway.
How does that happen?
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Uh, Caterpillar, even though they got in some trouble for taxes, they got
raided, uh, here a couple of days ago.
You may not have seen it.
Caterpillar, what are the, is that?
Caterpillar, they make tractors.
Right.
Okay.
Okay.
The infrastructure is shot in this country.
Okay.
Uh, the bridges are all 40, 50, 60 years past their prime.
Okay.
I didn't know a bridge could go past its prime.
Uh, the roads are 50, 60, 70 years past their prime.
Uh, the infrastructure for pipelines are past their prime.
So he's going to rebuild all this.
He's going to spend, supposedly, uh, $3 trillion, uh, which is not a
coincidence.
Coincidence that because he added $3 trillion to the stock market, but he's
going to add infrastructure.
So all the stocks like Caterpillar, AT&T, uh, Boeing, et cetera, uh, have gone
up 15, 20,
25, 30% since he got elected because the big money, the smart money, uh, knows
that those
companies are going to get all the contracts.
The real no brainer is aerospace, aerospace, not just because he cut the, um,
cost of, uh, air
force one down 700 million or whatever he did, but because he's going to bring
the United
States military back to what it was under Reagan 30 years ago.
Um, and being a vet myself, uh, I believe a strong country, uh, I think we get
involved
in too much s
