- Feb.11 -- Charles Koch turned his father's small business into one of the most profitable private companies in the U.S., now he's heavily focused on philanthropy that empowers people. Koch and Brian Hooks, the head of Koch's philanthropic endeavors, discuss their new book "Believe in People" on the latest episode of "The David Rubenstein Show: Peer-to-Peer Conversations." The interview was recorded on Dec. 8, 2020.
Investors can’t predict the future, bearish periods automatically give way for a new set of stocks to buy and watch while setting the stage for a new profitable uptrend. I have come across articles of people that grossed profits up to $250k during this crash, what are the best stocks to put on a watch list or buy at the moment?
All big corps are just a cohort of centralised system working together, and any damage to one can have a dangerous ripple effect on every other one. I learned a long time ago to not trust corporations. Most of my money is in the stock market and my businesses. I keep only what I need to spend in my checking account.
@@bernisejedeon5888 Iron-ically, these are the conditions in which life-changing money is made by those who remain calm, patient, and take controlled risks. Volatility goes both ways. The banks are in a big crisis. The market looks very shaky. The bigger the red candles, the bigger the green ones. I have made over $ 280k in the last 4 months by invest ing through my F A.
@@user-hz8fm3dg6x My Financial Advisor is JEFFREY HAROLD STARR I found him on a CNBC interview where he was featured and reached out to him afterwards. he has since provide entry and exit points on the securities I focus on. You can run a quick online research with his name if you care for supervision
85 years old and still on top of things. Very inspiring...
This man is literally one of the worst persons on the planet.
He invested heavily in anti climate change politics so he could fill his pockets. When he's gone our planet runs into catastrophe because of people like him.
Damn David Rubenstein is good at interviewing.
This was a great interview. One of my favorites yet!
We certainly see David´s agudez in speaking with CEOs. Definitely, this is one interview that has valid insights.
Incredible Intellects and great interviewer!
Excellent sharing and questions from the speakers. Thanks.
I remember how kind you were to everyone you worked with. Truly.
l am japan but koch know
What are Mr. Koch's view on environmental protection, organic farming, unions, science based belief system, evidence based economic/political system,?
It's quite clear. He believes in unfettered libertarianism, and along with his bother, he'd established and funded one of the largest science disinformation campaigns in history, underming the science of climate change and environmental protection.
True
Koch produces and develops a lot of filtration systems including carbon capture and emissions filters. As one of the earliest “Libertarians” he’s in all likelihood for organic farming, against using government force to restrict non-organic farming. Definitely for unions, as the right to free association is a basic tenet of libertarianism. Science, uhh they use the scientific method a lot at Koch Industries, I feel like there is a more specific question there. As far as “evidence based economic and political systems”, I think you would have to define that further.
@@peterbergkamp330 There's a large amount of evidence showing that the Koch brothers funded a long term climate science misinformation campaign. There's no doubt about that.
@@ftb11111 It's quite well known that they've been funding science misinformation for a long time, and it had been highly effective www.researchgate.net/publication/341251144_The_Koch_Brothers_and_the_climate_change_denial_social_movement
Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Thank you so very much.
They all look nice on TV shows
This is gold
The man has great human wisdom which has help him him dominant his field.
He has achieved great wealth, partly due to him having spent decades deceiving the government and public about the realities of climate science. He did that so his businesses could pollute without accountability.
He's the very worst of capitalism.
He is a man child cult lover who will fund any god that makes people ignorant. Notice that?
Very impressive man!
From the time I applied to this company. To the interview. To being hired. This company has made me feel like they actually care about the people they hire. I stumbled upon this through the company website. I feel like they are giving chances to people who have many talents but no papers to prove it. After watching this I feel like I’ve made the right decision. Charles Is a brilliant man who’s values, morals, work ethic and decisions have gave me hope that smart hardworking people with not much upbringing, still have a chance.....thank you, thank you for being a leader. We need more people like you......Amidee Edwards.
Bagger.
Why is your company private instead of traded on a stock market?
Public companies have to show good results every quarter, they depend on shareholders’ approval too much. Private company can plan ahead, look over the horizon.
Thank you for the quests
Charles Koch is pretty well on his way to helping himself and others to destroying representational government in America.
Very true, but his father was a chemical engineer that made his family fortune with gas chambers in the 1940's.
Probably one of his best best books , have been a proud part part of KOCH industries since last 1 year and the learning has been immense , MBM(r) , just wow ..
You sold out
I HAVE SPECIAL LOVE AND REGARDS FOR YOU SIR ❣️❣️
Great
Great !!;
Interesting he decided to go on a public talk after not doing very many
One possible reason is that he wants to promote his book so we will buy it? May not be true though...
He doesn't really go into the specifics of his principles in this interview; it is rather vague and general. We should buy the book if we wanna learn the details?
Criminal justice is not about justice the criminal justice is about making money; if it were not about money, you would not have these many lawyers. SADLY in THE US
Identifying principles in personal life and implementing it in business...he succeeded, he could do it since he had that freedom to do so as he owned the business. But I got fired many times when I tried to do so as I was an employee. He is privileged.
Obviously you worked for the wrong companies. If you listened at all, to what he said, you would have heard him say the top of the companies, have to have those beliefs in their employees. It seems obvious that your previous employers did not. It’s isn’t as you call it WHITE PRIVILEGE!!
Is this to make you feel better about yourself?
@@diegotobaski9801 No need to, I feel great about myself, just stating fact, something you obviously don’t understand
@@chrisbellos4662 Actually wasn't referring to you.
@@diegotobaski9801
Please except my apology
Tks a lot sir
Charles koch for the firing squad
belive myself
I love this great interview!
Rail Mr. Koch. I understand the competition in rail is between crop, automotive and fuel. Do you like the transport plans for the country?
Give this employee a giant paycheck and have him or her transfer the funds via cashiers check to Banco de Mexico?
he talks like ray dalio
lol
But smarter and more intellectually flexible than Dalio. Imagine if his company is Public this might be the first trillion dollar company by revenue.
@@josuecurianaiii3622 he’s not smarter. You just agree with his beliefs.
Will the gaming commission allow us to hire this person; how will we transfer these funds to The Bank of Sinaloa, Mexico?
If aliens come to earth and asks usa...what is their best positive example of capitalist system...they are gonna bring Charles koch...combination of smart father-son duo.....
David, we would like to watch you interview Elon Musk and Chamath Palipitiya.
chamath is overrated
any other memelords?
Interviewing Chamath is below David's line
"Daddy gave me a 12 million dollar company! I must be good at business!" -Charles Koch. Does he want a medal for being handed his wealth and not loosing it over 60 years? Dude has no idea how unaware he is, it would be very hard to not have your wealth grow in that position BECAUSE it's a privileged position.
He got more than money from his father. Really he learned a few things.
If it were so easy to grow a company from 12 million dollars to 120 billion dollars everyone would do it
I don’t understand why these rich people get to donate money to politics and then file it on their taxes. Why do Koch brothers even think they have a say? This is the problem.
It’s not just the koch brothers, everyone donates
@@markdin2988there is a huge difference in donating in contrast, buying politicians that keep their coffers and "we the people" and THEIR familes remain in seefdom.
I’ve lived in Wichita, Ks 25 yrs. I was familiar with the Koch legacy, but really didn’t know or understand the internal strife this family went through since childhood. I just happened to read the book, “Sons of Wichita”. Wow! It’s riveting!! Charles is savey and resilient, that’s why he’s survived. He’s been though hell and back with his family. It’s so very sad. I think his Dad would say... well done. Bless you and your family sir. I’ll be praying for you.
It appears you missed the real Koch family legacy. Charles legacy is one of notoriety, not pride. Here’s the history you appear to have missed:

The true king of Republicans
I love reading, but these books by these famous business people goal are not intended to educated but to act as public relationship campaigns. Clearly Charles Koch has gained a terrible reputation for supporting causes that has harmed many people. Okay Koch stop telling us you are a great guy.

He is the GREATEST entrepreneur of both the 20th and 21st Century!
I think Gates is
He is not a. Entrepreneur he inherited money
@@patveldon6843 at age 32, he took over a million dollar company and turned it into a $100+ billion dollar company and that's not an entrepreneur to you? Cmon you can disagree with him on his views on politics and climate change but he's definitely a great entrepreneur.
@@Stoneface_ He inherited $330 million...not an entrepreneur or self made man. With that amount of bank and con politicians bought to pass whatever one wants, anyone would be a billionaire.
@@chilivelife2581 Gates and Bezos are actually true entrepreneurs and self made men.

Billionaires shouldn't exist
envy and resentment shouldn't exist
@@kenvischi1047 Haha. I'm not jealous of Billionaires, because I know they're immoral.
When Jesus said *"It's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven,"* he KNEW what he was talking about!
Billionaires are a sign of capitalism without limits.
America is falling apart because the gap between rich and poor is extreme, and it's creating hatred among the classes.
I'm not a socialist. I'm not a communist. I'm a capitalist, BUT the kind of capitalism that is now being practiced in America is totally IMMORAL, and it's destroying America.
Billionaires are the new kings.
*Billionaires shouldn't exist*
@@JosedeJezeus You seem to be a good person but you have to do more research, the problem is more articulated, i will take a little time to give you some really basic insight (studied finance).
Capitalism is capitalism, it does not exist with or without limits, it either is capitalism or it isn't.
Billionaires are not inherently a bad thing, being that it is a pretty neutral thing, it is just a number, a measure, it doesn't provide any other information in itself you are not a good person till you have 999999999.99 of whatever you like and then suddenly become evil.
Now i will try to explain.
What we have now is not "pure" capitalism, it is a mixed system where finance has an overwhelming part over everything else , this is due to a number of reasons which are really too long to discuss here, but just to give you an example one is artificially low interest rates.
Finance by its own definition should serve to allocate the capital efficiently from those who have more than they can or will use to those who will use it PRODUCTIVELY.
Using money productively means creating running and expanding a business which creates real value, which is a really different thing from money which is just a measure : consider Amazon, it does provide the services it provides, does research, creates new products and services etc even if today the price of the stock is 10% lower than yesterday because of a market correction, the net worth of Jeff Bezos will be 10% lower though (because billionaire's net worth is in things, usually their business's stocks, not in cash as some people think)
Now, the problem with finance is that it has gone far beyond this and a great deal of money in finance is in worthless (but not priceless) paper such as overly complex derivatives.
This Finance craze which is going on since more than a couple decades is detrimental to normal people and artificially inflates (mainly trough low rates which are a bit more recent though) the prices of assets such as stocks but bear in mind as i said to you beforehand it is not real wealth, it is just a number who goes up completely decoupled from any real meaning, it is paper, this will make billionaires apparently richer (what happened in the last year) but it is not true, just a number.
The guy above here (Koch) runs a private company, meaning that his stocks aren't listed on exchanges, you can't buy them, so they aren't inflated, if all businesses where hypothetically private he would be much richer than many tech billionaires because their net worth would be based on fundamentals and not on demand inflated stocks.
so, finally, being a billionaire is not inherently bad, it is the consequence of running well a great business and being able to retain a decent share of your company (which you shouldn't oppose if you are really pro capitalism), what is bad is uncontrolled finance which has artificially inflated prices but billionaires would still be billionaires, albeit worth less money on paper.
This because they create value for society.
@@kenvischi1047 Thanks for your response. Let's see if I have this right
you said "This Finance craze which is going on since more than a couple decades is detrimental to normal people and artificially inflates (mainly trough low rates which are a bit more recent though)"
So the Milton Freedman school of thought that has dominated our economy for the last few decades is responsible for the economic disparity that exists? It is the ideals of free market capitalism that have led to the extreme wealth inequality in America?
I believe America is a capitalist country, but I believe this competition economy must be HIGHLY regulated.
It's easy to understand that most of the billions of dollars that Musk has are not actually dollars in the bank, but are shares of stock in his own company.
Still, I say, nobody should have a billion dollars in the bank. Nobody should have 500 million dollars in the bank. It is just UNFAIR. No person, no family *needs* that much money. It's WRONG and that's my point. Extreme wealth inequality is destroying America. It is leading to hatred and civil war between classes.
Increase taxes on the rich. There must be limits placed on the amount one person, one family can have, because nobody needs that much, and it's immoral for one person to have that much
. Why? Because,
*Money is Power.*
Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Jesus warned us about the corrupting influence of money of power when he said:
*"It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.*
There is a common personality trait in the rich: Narcissism. Narcissists believe they are genetically superior, and they see free market capitalism as a form of natural selection. They don't believe in a social safety net and free healthcare for the poor, because they see the poor as genetically inferior, and they believe we should let nature take it's course with them. -"Let them die prematurely, let them be malnourished, because they are genetically inferior anyways."
Why didn't Trump & Kushner care that Coronavirus spread throughout the country? Because coronavirus kills the poor more than any other group of people; it kills the peasants, the undesirables, "the genetically inferior," and the rich think that's FINE. They see it as a way of "thinning the herd," natural selection, improving the human race.
This is the philosophy of Ayn Rand.
This is the true justification of the free market system.
Is this what you believe?
@@JosedeJezeus No, i don't believe that.
"Wealth inequality" is one of the many useless, resentful and divisive pieces of rethoric of the postmodernist left (the main reason for which the US is so divided is the relevance and power this kind of culture got in many strategic institutions such as accademia and media, with the consequent push to the far right of many people who didn't agree, social media also plays a big role but let's leave it here).
Wealth inequality has always existed and will always exist and it is not a problem in itself.
It would be a problem if we had a sisted such as feudalism where there is no real value creation, therefore neccessarily the gain of one is the loss of another (or many others typically), fortunately this is not the case, there is enough value and consequently money to be created for everyone albeit not equally shared.
As long as everyone can effortlessly make ends meet and have what he needs who cares if someone else is 1mln times richer, i mean good for him/her as long as it is a function of having created value.
But why isn't this the case?
The problem is again more articulated and complex but it wouldn't fit a great newspaper or newschannel title so it is easyer to blame the rich, the problem includes mainly the education system and many other things, i encourage you to research it if you are interested, don't believe in easy and sensationalistic solutions wich rely on emotions: the world is complicated.
Btw most rich people don't think the way you described, maybe they do in cartoons, it is again a leftist stereotype.
