This is a YouTube video titled "Why you need lawyers" containing a discussion between two speakers about the importance of having legal counsel once a person becomes wealthy or influential, highlighting the risks and challenges faced at that level. The conversation explores themes of legal protection and societal pressures related to wealth and influence.
Why are rich people always saying, call my lawyer? Why do you need a lawyer? I don't have a lawyer because I was broke. When you're broke, you don't need a lawyer. You know the first thing you need when you get rich? A lawyer. Because the government comes after you, people sue you. Baby mama wants more money. Whatever. Talk to my lawyer. So legal fees are one thing that's going to hit you. And often something else that hits you is you realize once you get to a certain point of influence, no matter how nice a person you are, it doesn't matter if you're a normal ass pop star, it doesn't matter if you're a politician, doesn't matter if you're top G. Once you get to a certain point of influence, people just kind of want you dead.
He's right. You do need a lawyer. He probably needs one more than most because he's kind of a sleazy guy that's done a lot of bad things. But even if you do the right thing, even if you don't leave a trail of destruction in your path, even if you don't provoke the powers that be, you do need wise counsel. You need wise lawyers to advise you so that you're never a target. And so, even though I disagree with that man more times than I would care to say, in this particular case, I think he's saying the right thing.
