The Megyn Kelly Show

And we're going to get into all of it. It's going to be fascinating. I've known this guy for a while, so I can't wait to talk to him about it and see what he learned.

later today we have an interview with the editor in chief of Variety, Ramin Sittuda, who's spent tons of time with Trump. This is Trump cooperated with him and has got a new book out about Trump, including these years.

His new book, Day Trading Attention, is set to be released next week and is available for preorder right now.

It's why I wrote this new book, Day Trading Attention. Think about, let's break that down.

And by the way, I think words matter, really not exploited it, really just strategized it.

The book is called Day Trading Attention.

It's about all the stuff that we're talking about right now and how anybody can grow their business exponentially by being smart and putting in a little elbow grease.

The ancient story of persecution against Jews in the Haggadah, which is the book they read during Passover also reminds us that we must speak out against the alarming surge of anti-Semitism in our schools, communities and online.

It reminds me just the other night we watched it's an older movie, but we just watched it because it was on, The Firm. You know, I don't know if you read that John that John Gershom book.

It's a favorite.

Yeah. Right. So we were watching it stars Tom Cruz and it's like the star recruit comes into the organization, has all these trappings thrown at him. Everything looks, you know, white shoe and red leather. And, you know, wow, this is like next big phase of my career. And then in that case, spoiler alert, he finds out he's surrounded by a bunch of criminals and that his life is never going to be the same again.

Jocko and I share that same, um, you know, same love of jujitsu and same love for grappling in the same way that we, that we love the selfless leader. And, you know, he's so wise in the way that he puts that ownership, that onus on the individual, you know, in, um, extreme ownership.

My first book was on Space War. It was called Winning Space. It came out in 2020.

Timothy P. Carney wrote about this in his book Alienated America.

Matt Taibbi's book, Hate Inc., both sides have done it. They actually in order to get ratings, actually foster this mean spiritedness in our political dialogue. And it has done terrible damage to our country.

That really is a truism. If the guy's into you, you don't have to beg him to call you. You don't have to worry about him asking you out. He will call.

They actually Henry Hill, who is a psychopathic killer that that gave us Goodfellas.

That's the book that is based on. But not only that, it's actually worse that in 1991, Simon & Schuster sued the state of New York, who was trying to seize the profits from the book under the son of Sam law, which made it illegal to profit from their crimes.

And I think they took it to the Supreme Court and they ruled nine to nothing in the favor of Simon & Schuster.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

And that, you know, I was raised in a milieu where we were taught that it was a great privilege to be able to be part of great controversy. And that the best thing that could happen to us is if we could give our lives and our energies to something that, you know, was larger than ourselves.

And he always said that moral courage is an even rarer commodity. And that, you know, and ultimately, that was, you know, the reason that my uncle wrote that book, Profiles in Courage, the one that won the Nobel Prize, the Pulitzer Prize, the Pulitzer Prize was to illustrate, you know, a dozen stories of American politicians who had sacrificed their careers and in some cases, their lives or principle to stand on a principle that they knew was going to cost them.

You Will Own Nothing, Your War with the New Financial World Order and How to Fight Back.

You'll own nothing and you'll be happy.

You have to own assets that have the ability to retain their value or to increase in value in order to gain wealth.

It's not we'll own nothing. The people who are making this prediction don't feel like they're a part of this wonderful outcome that's going to happen.

The American dream is now out of reach and that the policies that he's putting forth, whatever he calls them, are not truly solving the underlying problem.

The whole point of writing this book is in the past, I've, you know, I've coached entrepreneurs and taught entrepreneurship, sales, marketing.

One thing I never really spoke about, which they knew probably as good as anyone out there in the world, was how to make money on Wall Street.

So I coached him through, you know, how to change his portfolio and redo it in a way that would set him up for long term success. And that's really was the is the inspiration for writing this book.

But I knew that if I didn't write it in a really kind of laugh out loud, funny, irreverent way, like people wouldn't really enjoy it or read it as much because, you know, the information for investing is out there.

But it gives you literally the keys to the kingdom, to building a world class portfolio that will allow you to retire extremely wealthy, whether you're wealthy now or not.

She's got an amazing book called The Gift, which is all about finding meaning.

It's incredible. She can be happy. Any of us can be happy.

The Scarlet Letter, even Dr. Seuss, Dr. Seuss has to go of Shakespeare.

When my son brought home the book Beloved by Toni Morrison, I put down my copy of Fifty Shades and said, no, a woman named Toni, not my America.

It's called Jack Kennedy's affairs. Like, we, you know, we know he did that even though the New York Times wasn't writing about it. Washington Post.

Second most useful is the Dale Carnegie course, different topic.

Well, that's the book, but there's also a series of classes where you just learn to be comfortable speaking in public and speaking to strangers.

The Dale Carnegie course, they only allow the other students and the instructor to say what you did right. That's the only rule.

I think it's national. It's the Dale Carnegie. I think there are several varieties of the classes. And all you have to do is Google it and sign up for one near you.

But Dale Carnegie teaches you a conversation stack, a set of questions to ask anybody you just met that they will be comfortable with and so will you.
