Let's talk about the moment your side hustle becomes a real business. Now I see way too many founders stay stuck running their business like it's a hobby. And then they wonder why nothing ever feels real. It doesn't feel real because it's not. I've helped thousands of entrepreneurs build real businesses through Impact Theory University. And the first step in the path to building a legit business is registering it. And Tailor Brands will help you do just that in a few clicks. An LLC, a Limited Liability Company, is an official business structure. It's inexpensive to form and very simple to maintain. It's how you open a business bank account. It's how customers know they're dealing with a real company. And Tailor Brands doesn't stop at the filing. Their dashboard tracks what comes next based on what your business actually needs. So EIN number, registered agent, licenses and permits, bookkeeping, business banking. I tell every founder the same thing. Just make it official. Click the link in the show notes to check out Tailor Brands and get started on your business today. This is a paid advertisement. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to another episode of the Tom Bilyeu Show Live. We have got a full docket today because the division in America is far worse than people realize. I was shocked by a new poll that shows that 59% of Democrats would welcome a military coup against Trump. We're going to talk about what that would actually look like in real life, plus some of the other stuff that came out in that insane, completely unhinged poll. The UN General Assembly was much spicier than usual yesterday.

Trump took the stage to tout accomplishments and threatened to annihilate all of Iran right to their faces. That went about as well as you would expect. But Iran may be more ready to negotiate than they're letting on publicly, and it's having an impact on oil prices. We're going to talk about that. OpenAI and Anthropic may be in big trouble, as insiders warn that they have massive litigation risk. And Scott Bessent just made it clear that the Trump admin is not going to save them.

So we'll see. But at the same time, AI might actually be winning some hearts and minds. I was excited to see that Notch, the creator of the highest selling video game of all time, and in my opinion, the greatest video game of all time, said he was wrong about AI being bad for programming, and then he's having fun with vibe coding. We'll talk more about what that means for all of computer programmers moving forward.

We've also got to talk about the fact that something is seriously wrong in Canada. Despite having a fraction of our population, more people are euthanized there than are killed by gun homicides here in the US. And it gets far more startling when you look at the per capita rates. And controversial streamer Clavicular is facing potential life in prison after being accused of SA and the internet is on fire, debating the merits of the case. In all of the sort of predictable ways that you would assume, Drew, that'll be interesting to look at. All right, we've got to talk about what is going on with everything in the world of America. So right now we have division going on that is absolutely crazy. I think it is far more shocking than people realize. It's certainly much worse than I thought. We've got a new poll that shows that 59% of Democrats would actually welcome a military coup against Trump. I can't believe that that is accurate, but nonetheless went into that. You've got a full 31% who would be happy to see him assassinated.

Let's sit with that for a second. Now, if you guys are thinking that this is just a rage bait poll by Fox News, unfortunately not. This poll came from the Center for Strategic Politics, which is a self-described progressive group.

It was commissioned by Liberal Currents, which is also a self-described left-leaning publication. They surveyed 683 Democratic voters in early September and asked them how they'd feel about all kinds of absolutely unhinged stuff. And as long as it got Trump out of office, they were all for it. Now, if hopefully you're looking at your screen, some of these numbers are absolutely staggering. So we had questions like, President Donald Trump has been impeached and convicted by both houses of Congress and has been removed from office. These are like thought experiments. And okay, cool. That one I get. If you're opposed to Trump, you're perfectly happy to see that happen. We've got no beef with that one. But when you start getting into, how do you feel about a military coup and you find that just under 60% of people are all for it, it means almost two thirds of Democrats are all for seeing a military coup on US soil to get rid of the president. That one to me, I understand that people do not like Donald Trump, but I don't think people understand what actually comes with a military coup. Our country is not going to survive this trend if it keeps going. If we keep finding the left and the right racing away from each other like this, on absolutely terrifying issues like whether it's just a naked assassination attempt, which had 31% people feeling good about it, or the military coup, understand this is exactly how countries tear themselves apart from the inside. Now, a military coup to a crazy person from where I'm sitting might sound good in a fantasy land where you hate your country's leadership and you don't want to wait for democracy to do its thing. But in real life, what you get with a military coup is, get ready for it, a military dictatorship. The thing that I find most maddening is right now, you have a bunch of people that are afraid that Trump is really a dictator and he's just doing all this crazy stuff. And so they will celebrate China, which actually has a dictator, like a real for real. I'm in power for as long as I want. I will kill anybody that stands up to me. I will put them in a gulag. I will disappear them. I will re-educate my billionaire class. All of that, that they're fine with. The in reality thing, as long as they think they agree with that person's politics, they're fine with that. But somebody who might one day become and do that, they're so against it that they are willing to see a military dictatorship in the US. Now, every junta, which is the name for when you get the military doing a takeover and then running the country, every time you get a junta like that, you're going to say that they're saving the country. But almost none of them actually give the power back. So understand, they are hoping for this thing that actually occurs in the world. And so we can look at and see, does it yield the results that mythically they're thinking will happen? So if you look at some of the examples, in February of 2021, Myanmar's military seized power. They claimed that there was election fraud and they declared a one-year state of emergency more than five years later. The general who led the coup is now the country's president. He installed himself after tightly restricting elections that sidelined the party that had originally won. The civil war that that coup triggered has killed more than 100,000 people. Okay, so the junta ends up arresting nearly 32,000 people for opposing its reign.
