00:09:30.000 We knocked out a couple of shows.

00:09:35.000 Oh, wow.
00:09:36.000 So, yeah, guys, welcome to the show.
00:09:37.000 We're live on all the platforms, by the way.
00:09:38.000 We're live on YouTube, on All Fresh AFT, Myra Gains X, and we're even live on the Voice channels as well.
00:09:44.000 So make sure to smash the like button on your way in on his Rumble and YouTube.
00:09:48.000 And his Rumble and his YouTube.
00:09:49.000 And kick in all that, man.
00:09:49.000 Absolutely.
00:09:50.000 This is an important broadcast.
00:09:51.000 We're going to put it out there.
00:09:52.000 And then obviously we're going to have After Hours After.
00:09:54.000 Yep.
00:09:54.000 But too big to rig.
00:09:56.000 You know, definitely too big to rig.
00:09:56.000 Yeah.
00:09:57.000 But welcome back to Miami, man.
00:09:59.000 Yeah, what's up, bro?
00:10:00.000 Thank you.
00:10:00.000 Many know who you are, but they might not.
00:10:02.000 Can you introduce yourself to the people?
00:10:03.000 Absolutely.
00:10:04.000 My name is Devori Darkins.
00:10:06.000 I think literally the only one in the world.
00:10:09.000 Nobody else has my name.
00:10:10.000 And that's not to, you know, be crazy.
00:10:13.000 But yeah.
00:10:14.000 So I'm originally from California.
00:10:16.000 My wife and I, we moved to Texas.
00:10:18.000 And I'm in the political space.
00:10:20.000 I do commentary, common sense-based common sense.
00:10:23.000 Exactly.
00:10:24.000 I like seeing what both sides have to say.
00:10:26.000 I love free speech.
00:10:28.000 I don't believe if we have that, we don't have anything.
00:10:31.000 So we got to be able to hear all ideas, critically think for ourselves.
00:10:35.000 I'm big on financial literacy and mindset.
00:10:38.000 And I want to give you a huge thank you because when I came on your show, you were very open to me expressing my ideas and worldview and on politics and everything else like that.
00:10:48.000 And though we might not agree with everything, the fact that you allow me to speak that way, especially since so many people in the conservative market are like terrified when certain topics are brought up.
00:10:56.000 So, no, man, I appreciate that greatly.
00:10:58.000 Yeah, no, I'm grateful at the opportunity to really speak to anybody because I think we got to keep these conversations going.
00:11:07.000 We got to keep our foot on the pedal as far as information is concerned.
00:11:11.000 Because if we stop talking, that gives the opponent the ability to control the information.
00:11:17.000 So we have to keep talking.
00:11:18.000 We have to keep debating and hearing both sides.
00:11:22.000 So I appreciate that you did come out to Texas.
00:11:24.000 My wife loved it.
00:11:26.000 She says hi, obviously.
00:11:27.000 She's texting her.
00:11:28.000 Love you.
00:11:28.000 She's very based.
00:11:29.000 Very based.
00:11:30.000 Yeah.
00:11:31.000 So I'm grateful.
00:11:32.000 Thank you.
00:11:33.000 How'd you get started, man?
00:11:34.000 Lifestyle-wise, growing up, family-wise.
00:11:36.000 Yeah, your Batman origin story.
00:11:37.000 Yeah, my Batman origin story starts off with two parents who were drug addicts.
00:11:43.000 Yeah.
00:11:43.000 Had to be adopted by a single parent.
00:11:46.000 Okay.
00:11:47.000 But she was old school.
00:11:48.000 So she was my grandmother's generation.
00:11:50.000 So she didn't play.
00:11:51.000 There was no like excuses, explaining anything.
00:11:54.000 It's like, you're going to do this.
00:11:55.000 I'm going to slap the black off you.
00:11:56.000 You know what I mean?
00:11:57.000 And, anyways, that's how I was raised.
00:12:00.000 And then in high school, she got breast cancer.
00:12:02.000 I had to come live in Houston, Texas for a few years.
00:12:05.000 I was in JROTC at that time.
00:12:07.000 And then I came back.
00:12:09.000 She passed away my junior year.
00:12:10.000 Then I went to go live with my friend.
00:12:12.000 And from that point on, I was on my own.
00:12:14.000 And I joined the military when I was 17 in the Army.
00:12:17.000 How old were you when she passed away?
00:12:19.000 17.
00:12:20.000 Okay.
00:12:20.000 Yeah.
00:12:20.000 Yeah.
00:12:21.000 17.
00:12:21.000 So shortly thereafter, you joined the military?
00:12:24.000 No, she was still alive when I joined.
00:12:24.000 After she passed away?
00:12:26.000 She refused to let me go into the Marines.
00:12:29.000 She was, I mean, she was the B-word to the recruiter.
00:12:34.000 But the Army guy came around and she was really nice to him.
00:12:36.000 Okay.
00:12:37.000 Yeah.
00:12:37.000 So what year is this now when you joined the military?
00:12:41.000 2005.
00:12:42.000 Oh, wow.
00:12:43.000 Yeah.
00:12:43.000 Right in the middle of Iraqi.
00:12:44.000 So I saw the Twin Towers in elementary school in sixth grade.
00:12:48.000 Yep.
00:12:48.000 Yeah.
00:12:49.000 Yeah.
00:12:49.000 Yep.
00:12:50.000 Actually, you know what?
00:12:51.000 Where were you when 9-11 happened?
00:12:51.000 We go through that.
00:12:53.000 In Houston.
00:12:54.000 In Houston, okay.
00:12:54.000 Missouri City, to be exact.
00:12:56.000 Yeah.
00:12:56.000 Because you're 37.
00:12:58.000 So you're two years older than me.
00:12:59.000 So yeah, I remember that day.
00:13:01.000 So you were sitting in the classroom and you got the news?
00:13:03.000 It's exactly what you would see in these videos where they have the little TV in the corner, the big, big TV.
00:13:08.000 It's all old quality.
00:13:10.000 Yeah.
00:13:10.000 It was crazy.
00:13:11.000 And everybody was just stunned.
00:13:13.000 Wow.
00:13:14.000 Did that motivate you to serve?
00:13:16.000 Is that why you joined the military so young?
00:13:19.000 You know, I'm not too sure that was the main reason.
00:13:22.000 I think my mother was the main reason.
00:13:24.000 She was very strict.
00:13:25.000 You know, she never made anything about race.
00:13:28.000 It was all about pick your pants up.
00:13:30.000 If you even, you know, look a certain way, you respond a certain way.
00:13:34.000 She was on me.
00:13:35.000 You know, and was she black herself too?
00:13:38.000 Yes.
00:13:38.000 Your adopted mom.
00:13:39.000 And your biological parents, did you ever get to meet them or no?
00:13:39.000 Okay.
00:13:39.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:13:43.000 My mom, I did.
00:13:45.000 And, you know, it's unfortunate because she could never give me the answers I was really looking for.
00:13:50.000 So I had to make peace with that.
00:13:52.000 How old were you when you met her?
00:13:54.000 That had to be the first time I met her, she was in the hospital because she was into drugs.
00:14:01.000 And I think I was probably eight years old.
00:14:04.000 Oh, wow.
00:14:04.000 So my adopted mother, she was really nice.
00:14:06.000 I mean, she, you could tell she really loved me because she tried to, you know, get me to see her.
00:14:11.000 And she also tried to adopt my brother, but it didn't happen, unfortunately.
00:14:18.000 And it's five of us, all different fathers.
00:14:20.000 One of us is gone already, my sister.
00:14:22.000 She passed away during COVID.
00:14:24.000 Sorry.
00:14:24.000 But no, I met her.
00:14:27.000 And then my father only met over the phone one time.
00:14:30.000 Yeah.
00:14:30.000 Okay.
00:14:31.000 So that was unsuccessful.
00:14:32.000 And you've only, and you only met your mom one time.
00:14:35.000 You never saw her ever again after?
00:14:36.000 No, I did.
00:14:37.000 I saw her two more times.
00:14:39.000 Another time that was because all of the siblings, I guess, we met up and we wanted to see her.
00:14:45.000 And then the second time was when it was like a couple of weeks before she died from an aneurysm.
00:14:49.000 Oh, your mom passed away?
00:14:50.000 Yeah, my biological one.
00:14:52.000 Because she had, it's funny because you think when someone does like hard drugs, that's going to kill them?
00:14:52.000 Yeah.
00:14:58.000 It's always something else.
00:14:59.000 You know, it was anaerobic.
00:15:01.000 You might be asking, what drugs was she doing?
00:15:04.000 Oh, crack.
00:15:06.000 Yeah, I think that was the main one.
00:15:08.000 And she was drinking a lot.
00:15:10.000 You know, I'll give you examples.
00:15:11.000 So the time that I did talk to her, her number one question every time was, can I get some money so I can go down to the 7-Eleven?
00:15:18.000 You guys know what that is.
00:15:19.000 And she had a big, big gulp.
00:15:19.000 Yeah.
00:15:21.000 Yeah.
00:15:22.000 So that was, that was that.
00:15:22.000 Yeah.
00:15:25.000 So, yeah, no, that's how it was.
00:15:27.000 You know, I think people like that serve a purpose about what not to do.
00:15:33.000 You know, and so when you get into drugs and you're hanging around the wrong people, this is what could happen.
00:15:38.000 Yeah.
00:15:39.000 And then what happens is when you have kids, that, you know, it affects them too.
00:15:44.000 Yeah.
00:15:45.000 And, you know, so I think for my situation, my story, I think the reason why God has allowed me to flourish up to this point is so I can go out there and let people know that you can overcome, you know, anything.
00:15:58.000 It doesn't matter where you start.
00:16:00.000 It's about how you're going to finish moving forward.
00:16:03.000 You're, you know, you're a pretty healthy guy.
00:16:05.000 You eat in a certain way and you watch what you eat and you eat.
00:16:08.000 I don't know if you want to tell the people you're on a certain type of diet.
00:16:10.000 I'll let my friends.
00:16:11.000 I eat plant-based guys.
00:16:12.000 He's a plant-based guy.
00:16:14.000 Yeah.
00:16:14.000 He eats plant-based.
00:16:15.000 Like, did, was that influenced by watching your mother kind of struggle with drug abuse that where you're like, hey, I'm never going to be like that and I'm going to do the opposite?
00:16:24.000 So it was a couple of things.
00:16:26.000 One, I read a book on ADHD and there was one chapter all about food.
00:16:31.000 And how food causes people to have ADD or ADHD, however you, you know, there's so many labels today.
00:16:31.000 Okay.
00:16:38.000 And when I stopped eating so much processed foods, I didn't have a problem with focusing.
00:16:46.000 Now, I'll also say a part of it also was because I live a purpose-driven life now.
00:16:52.000 I think that also helps a man focus.
00:16:52.000 Yeah.
00:16:54.000 If you're not on purpose, you're going to be all over the place.
00:16:56.000 There's no question.
00:16:57.000 You're going to be easily distracted by anything.
00:17:00.000 So when you're really focused, that hyper focus, right?
00:17:03.000 Like you guys are focused.
00:17:04.000 You show up every day.
00:17:04.000 You do the same thing over and over.
00:17:06.000 That takes focus.
00:17:08.000 So I think food had a lot to do with it.
00:17:09.000 And then my family, high blood pressure, diabetes, the whole thing.
00:17:16.000 You know how African Americans are.
00:17:17.000 Yeah.
00:17:18.000 Yeah.
00:17:18.000 So I didn't, I didn't.
00:17:20.000 Hypertension.
00:17:22.000 And my mother, she was the type of person.
00:17:25.000 Sky fresh.
00:17:26.000 Come on, man.
00:17:27.000 Come on, man.
00:17:28.000 This guy's immature.
00:17:29.000 Grow up.
00:17:30.000 Grow up.
00:17:34.000 I love it.
00:17:35.000 I love it.
00:17:36.000 Sorry, go ahead.
00:17:37.000 No, no, it's good.
00:17:38.000 We're going to have to laugh.
00:17:40.000 I'm pretty serious, guys.
00:17:41.000 So I love it.
00:17:43.000 My wife, she balances me out.
00:17:45.000 You know this because you were around this, right?
00:17:47.000 Anyways, no, my family, they had all that stuff.
00:17:51.000 But I think the other reason is because I want to live, or I want to do my part to live a long life.
00:17:57.000 You never know when your last day is here.
00:17:57.000 Okay.
00:17:59.000 So I wanted to minimize that.
00:18:02.000 And my energy levels are different when I eat that way too.
00:18:04.000 Yeah.
00:18:05.000 Yeah.
00:18:05.000 Do you feel lighter?
00:18:06.000 Do you feel happier?
00:18:07.000 Do you feel like because I'm not going to lie, eating meat here, I feel heavy, bogged down.
00:18:12.000 And even though it's like grilled chicken or whatever, I still feel like bloated.
00:18:15.000 Yeah.
00:18:16.000 So here's the thing.
00:18:18.000 If you're a person who only eats meat, because there are people who have that diet, or you're a person who eats only plant-based, meaning whole food, vegetables, you know, lentils, things like that, two things are going to happen, obviously, for a while, which is your energies are going to go up because you're not feeding yourself processed foods.
00:18:37.000 That's the key.
00:18:38.000 The killer is not necessarily meat because our grandparents ate meat, right?
00:18:43.000 The killer is processed foods, the mass manufacturing of foods.
00:18:47.000 Now, you know how you feel about Israel, right?
00:18:50.000 Yeah.
00:18:51.000 And how we feel about the federal government and how we don't trust them.
00:18:54.000 So imagine what they've done with our food system.
00:18:56.000 Yeah.
00:18:58.000 You see what I'm saying?
00:18:58.000 So that's why it's no secret.
00:19:00.000 If you leave right now and go to Italy, eat the same food, you're going to lose a couple pounds.
00:19:04.000 Yeah.
00:19:05.000 Yeah.
00:19:05.000 I was in France.
00:19:05.000 I thought amazing.
00:19:06.000 There you go.
00:19:07.000 And everyone that goes to Europe says, I lost weight and I ate the same thing.
00:19:10.000 Yeah.
00:19:11.000 Mama Mia.
00:19:12.000 Yeah.
00:19:13.000 So I think that's a great case to show you why you got to do what you can to this is a vessel.
00:19:19.000 You have to take care of this vessel, you know.
00:19:22.000 And I think food is just one component.
00:19:24.000 Yeah.
00:19:24.000 Yeah.
00:19:26.000 So you joined the military.
00:19:28.000 Obviously, very tough upbringing.
00:19:28.000 Yeah.
00:19:30.000 Single mom.
00:19:31.000 You didn't know your parents really didn't get to be with them.
00:19:34.000 Yeah.
00:19:35.000 You joined at 17.
00:19:36.000 Take us through that because I know you had gone to the Middle East and you spent quite a bit of time over there.
00:19:40.000 Yeah, yeah, I did.
00:19:41.000 So, yeah, I joined when I was 17.
00:19:44.000 My senior year, I checked out.
00:19:46.000 I was pretty much down and out because she had passed away.
00:19:49.000 And it's not a sob story, but it's just the reality of life.
00:19:52.000 And then I went to my unit after I graduated, and then I deployed when I was 21 to Afghanistan.
00:20:00.000 Okay, so you were in for four years before you got the police.
00:20:02.000 Yeah.
00:20:03.000 Okay.
00:20:03.000 So you joined here.
00:20:06.000 In 2017.
00:20:07.000 Yeah.
00:20:08.000 Or excuse me.
00:20:09.000 2005.
00:20:10.000 And then I went in 2009.
00:20:11.000 Gotcha.
00:20:12.000 Okay.
00:20:13.000 All right.
00:20:14.000 And you went to Afghanistan?
00:20:15.000 Did you spend all your time there?
00:20:16.000 Or?
00:20:17.000 Yeah.
00:20:17.000 What was that like?
00:20:18.000 Bagram Air Base.
00:20:19.000 Oh, man.
00:20:20.000 What was that like?
00:20:20.000 Yeah.
00:20:21.000 It was a culture shock.
00:20:23.000 Yeah.
00:20:23.000 It's another reminder of how grateful I am for this country.
00:20:26.000 And that doesn't mean this country is, you know, cookies and milk.
00:20:29.000 I mean, there's a lot of things when you start researching, you're like, wow, the good old United States of America.
00:20:36.000 But I'm going to take this country a thousand times over any other country.
00:20:39.000 No question.
00:20:40.000 Yeah.
00:20:41.000 Since you spent a significant amount of time in Afghanistan, what's your thoughts on how we pulled out under the Biden administration?
00:20:46.000 Utter failure.
00:20:47.000 No question.
00:20:48.000 Utter failure, incompetence, a weakness.
00:20:51.000 That's exactly what that was.
00:20:53.000 And it could all be avoided.
00:20:54.000 It's what happens when there's too many chiefs.
00:20:56.000 You know, when you have too many people trying to make a name for themselves and politics is involved, common sense goes out the window every single time.
00:21:04.000 Can you explain to people real quick?
00:21:05.000 Because they might not be familiar with what we're talking about.
00:21:07.000 Like what happened, why we pulled out the way that we did, how they failed.
00:21:11.000 Yeah.
00:21:12.000 So step one obviously is the recurring pattern of each president claiming that we're going to withdraw from Afghanistan.
00:21:19.000 Right.
00:21:20.000 That happened, Obama, Trump, of course.
00:21:23.000 And under the Trump administration 1.0, he actually was able to finally get something on paper.
00:21:29.000 Like, hey, this is going to happen.
00:21:31.000 And all the Biden administration had to do was just come in and execute.
00:21:31.000 Yeah.
00:21:37.000 But they didn't execute that plan properly.
00:21:40.000 So the plan was already on paper.
00:21:41.000 But as far as like step one, step two, step three, that wasn't on paper.
00:21:44.000 Just the agreement to pull out was on paper.
00:21:46.000 Gotcha.
00:21:47.000 So the execution, even though there were multiple generals who stated this is not the best way to do this, Biden was convinced it had to happen and it had to happen now.
00:21:59.000 And he just, interesting.
00:22:00.000 Yeah.
00:22:00.000 It's just, and I'm not even, I'm not even okay, because she wrote a book about you guys, all right?
00:22:05.000 Kamala Harris.
00:22:06.000 Yeah.
00:22:06.000 So she was, she was in the room, okay, on record.
00:22:09.000 That's what she said.
00:22:10.000 Not me.
00:22:11.000 That's what she said.
00:22:12.000 She was in the room when this decision was made.
00:22:15.000 So to pull out in the way that we did.
00:22:18.000 That strategy.
00:22:18.000 Yes.
00:22:19.000 Yes.
00:22:19.000 Okay.
00:22:20.000 So listen, I am results driven.
00:22:25.000 So 13 service members died that day.
00:22:28.000 Yes.
00:22:29.000 So what else is there really to talk about?
00:22:31.000 They just caught the guy that was responsible under this administration.
00:22:35.000 What was his name?
00:22:38.000 I don't get up, but Kash Patel and Pam Bondi, they like literally a month or two into the administration said, hey, we got the guys that were responsible for that.
00:22:45.000 And they extradited them and brought them back.
00:22:45.000 That's good.
00:22:47.000 I didn't even hear about it.
00:22:48.000 That's craziness.
00:22:49.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:22:50.000 It got with this administration, there's stuff going in the headlines every single day.
00:22:54.000 It literally got swallowed, pause, very quickly.
00:22:57.000 Yeah, so yeah, 13 members lost their life.
00:22:59.000 And I think the results show that somewhere along the line, they went wrong.
00:23:04.000 They made a bad choice.
00:23:06.000 It wasn't planned properly.
00:23:07.000 It wasn't executed properly.
00:23:08.000 And that's just the bottom line to it.
00:23:09.000 You know, when you serve in the military, you develop this mindset that it's about results at the end of the day.
00:23:16.000 You can make up any excuse you want, but the results show that Americans lost their life about pulling out of a country.
00:23:25.000 It's not like we were at war actively.
00:23:27.000 You know what I mean?
00:23:29.000 So it's just, it's madness.
00:23:32.000 Was there, obviously, you know, a lot of times when politicians do things, there's a political incentive to do so, et cetera.
00:23:38.000 And this was what, like two years ago, if I'm not mistaken, like 2023 that this happened?
00:23:43.000 No, 2022?
00:23:44.000 2020, no, 2021.
00:23:47.000 All right.
00:23:47.000 So first year that he was in.
00:23:47.000 Okay.
00:23:49.000 What was August?
00:23:50.000 Okay.
00:23:51.000 August 18th.
00:23:52.000 What was the political reasoning for doing that?
00:23:55.000 Like, is there for pulling out in that way in such a reckless manner?
00:23:59.000 Or what do you speculate?
00:24:00.000 You don't have to know that exactly.
00:24:02.000 I don't know the answer.
00:24:03.000 But I would guess.
00:24:03.000 Yeah.
00:24:04.000 Scaffolding.
00:24:05.000 I would guess it goes counter to what we normally do, which is we keep a military presence in these multitude of countries.
00:24:13.000 Don't you find it interesting how America is the only one where we have a military base all over the world?
00:24:18.000 Yeah.
00:24:19.000 It's not the other way around.
00:24:20.000 Yeah.
00:24:20.000 Like China doesn't have one in Mexico.
00:24:22.000 Yep.
00:24:22.000 Right.
00:24:23.000 Yep.
00:24:24.000 But we have South Korea, Japan, Germany, you know.
00:24:28.000 So I don't understand the thinking.
00:24:30.000 Well, I think you might be able to find out.
00:24:33.000 Because you like to research that area.
00:24:33.000 Yeah.
00:24:36.000 So I think you could find out.
00:24:37.000 So you think we should have never pulled out, should have maintained a base there, lower the numbers, obviously, and lower the maybe the presence volume of.
00:24:44.000 Well, we should have never been there to begin with.
00:24:46.000 Oh, yeah.
00:24:46.000 Yeah.
00:24:48.000 That's the bottom line to it.
00:24:49.000 Yeah.
00:24:50.000 And looking back now, right?
00:24:51.000 Obviously, it's been 20, 20 years now.
00:24:53.000 Yeah, literally 20 years.
00:24:55.000 Looking back, knowing what you know now with the wars in the Middle East, et cetera, like how does that make you feel knowing that you put your life on the line for a conflict that honestly we didn't even really have any business being in in the first place?
00:25:08.000 Well, I don't feel, I don't have any regrets.
00:25:13.000 Okay.
00:25:14.000 Right.
00:25:14.000 I would do it all over again.
00:25:16.000 I'll tell you that now.
00:25:17.000 But politically, it's definitely, I hate it.
00:25:21.000 Yeah.
00:25:21.000 Yeah.
00:25:22.000 No question.
00:25:22.000 Any person who has the privilege of, it's a privilege to go overseas.
00:25:26.000 By the way, you know how many people like literally sign up to be in the military and never actually get to leave this country?
00:25:31.000 There's a lot.
00:25:32.000 Yeah.
00:25:32.000 You know, so I find that to be a privilege I got to go.
00:25:36.000 And, you know, I love that part of it.
00:25:40.000 And it's the people you meet, right?
00:25:42.000 Those experiences that you never forget.
00:25:45.000 So there's no problems with that.
00:25:48.000 But yeah, I mean, it's, it's an interesting thought exercise because you love your country.
00:25:53.000 Yeah.
00:25:54.000 You'll die for your country, no question.
00:25:55.000 And by the way, it's the training you go through.
00:25:58.000 These people have mastered this to a T. You know this because you were working for the government.
00:26:03.000 Right.
00:26:03.000 Yeah.
00:26:03.000 It's all repetition.
00:26:05.000 Of course.
00:26:06.000 So it doesn't matter where you come from.
00:26:08.000 The military is the only place where you can get someone tall, short, fat, skinny, red, pink, yellow, white, you know, Muslim, Christian, atheist, doesn't matter.
00:26:18.000 Idiot, smart person.
00:26:19.000 Bring them all together and make them an effective, competent soldier.
00:26:24.000 Right.
00:26:25.000 So they figured something out.
00:26:26.000 And why I bring that point up is because all veterans, when you serve and you go overseas, there's no qualms with that.
00:26:35.000 You're proud of that.
00:26:36.000 So obviously, you don't regret serving your country.
00:26:38.000 You just wish you could have served in another way that wasn't going to Afghanistan, I guess.
00:26:43.000 Yeah, I guess you could put it that way.
00:26:46.000 But those are things that are outside of my control.
00:26:49.000 Of course.
00:26:49.000 And back then, nobody knew, right?
00:26:51.000 Like, obviously, we're all speaking from 2020 hindsight.
00:26:53.000 Back then, dude, it was like mainstream media control the narrative.
00:26:56.000 We're defending America.
00:26:57.000 These guys attacked us, and it took 20 years for us to wake up and realize, oh, that's not true.
00:27:01.000 Did any of your friends pass away that went over there?
00:27:04.000 No.
00:27:04.000 No, I didn't have that.
00:27:04.000 No.
00:27:07.000 I was not lucky in that way.
00:27:08.000 Okay.
00:27:09.000 We did know of people that did.
00:27:10.000 I don't know them personally, but yeah, plenty of people.
00:27:13.000 And, you know, the common way people obviously lose their lives is through combat.
00:27:18.000 Yeah.
00:27:18.000 But there are a couple other ways that never get any attention.
00:27:21.000 And I always bring them up just to tell people how dangerous it really is.
00:27:24.000 So Iraq obviously was or is a desert flatland area.
00:27:30.000 And for the military complex out there, they wanted to build something called MRAPs, which is up-armored.
00:27:38.000 Matter of fact, if you've ever seen SWAT in your local city, that is an MRAP.
00:27:42.000 Okay.
00:27:43.000 It's an up-armored vehicle.
00:27:46.000 Anyway, point being is that they were so heavy.
00:27:49.000 So when they sent them over to Afghanistan, because remember, they were trying to slow down in Iraq, draw down in Iraq, and they started shifting supplies and vehicles and stuff like that to Afghanistan.
00:28:02.000 And just so everybody understands, the military is going nowhere without logistics.
00:28:09.000 Yeah.
00:28:10.000 Super important.
00:28:10.000 Okay.
00:28:11.000 So they moved logistics to Afghanistan.
00:28:14.000 The problem is the problem is the vehicles would roll over and kill soldiers because Afghanistan is mountainous.
00:28:28.000 It's yes.
00:28:29.000 Right.
00:28:29.000 It's not unforgiving terrain, man.
00:28:31.000 Unforgiving terrain.
00:28:31.000 Yeah.
00:28:33.000 So a lot of people lost their lives that way.
00:28:35.000 A lot of rollovers, a lot of freak accidents.
00:28:38.000 And then, you know, depending on if you're on a fob, some people got killed through mortars.
00:28:44.000 You know, but Bagram Air Base would get hit with mortars, but it wasn't anywhere close to where people were.
00:28:50.000 It's like on the outer, outer perimeter.
00:28:54.000 Every now and then they may get lucky, but yeah, that's how it went.
00:28:57.000 Gotcha, gotcha.
00:28:58.000 So you do your time in the military, you get out.
00:29:01.000 What did you do next after that?
00:29:03.000 Adjusting.
00:29:04.000 Well, it's important to tell people why I got out because I had 13 years.
00:29:07.000 Okay.
00:29:08.000 And let's back up.
00:29:10.000 So when I was 27 years old, I became an E7.
00:29:16.000 Okay.
00:29:16.000 So an E7 would be, for people who don't know, that'd be equivalent to what would you say?
00:29:23.000 At least a store manager of a major corporation.
00:29:26.000 Yeah.
00:29:27.000 Yeah.
00:29:28.000 I mean, you're hardened.
00:29:30.000 You've been in there for a minute.
00:29:31.000 Is that a GS11?
00:29:33.000 Or GS12?
00:29:34.000 Yeah, you could say 11 or 12.
00:29:35.000 Yeah, you're like, you're not really a manager yet officially, but people defer to you for advice and stuff like that informally.
00:29:42.000 Yep.
00:29:43.000 So a context would be an E7 is usually a platoon sergeant responsible for 33 soldiers or 32 soldiers.
00:29:43.000 Yeah.
00:29:53.000 Okay.
00:29:53.000 Anyways, point is, I got to this rank at E7 and I was like, man, I wanted to prove my family that I'm somebody because remember, I was adopted.
00:30:02.000 You know, I really didn't have anybody there.
00:30:05.000 You know, I had to figure stuff out.
00:30:07.000 So I had this chip on my shoulder, like, yeah, I'm going to go to the military.
00:30:10.000 I'm going to be successful.
00:30:11.000 And when I get to the top, man, people are going to, yeah, you know, well, I get there and then I'm like, I'm not happy at all.
00:30:18.000 I feel like depressed.
00:30:21.000 Like, what's going on?
00:30:22.000 So then Dvore, who's a little stubborn at times, I'm like, oh, maybe I just didn't go high enough.
00:30:30.000 So then I was like, I'll be an officer.
00:30:32.000 So transitioning from being non-commissioned to commission.
00:30:35.000 Yeah.
00:30:36.000 That's like, again, go back to store manager.
00:30:36.000 Okay.
00:30:38.000 That's like transitioning to store manager to executive.
00:30:40.000 Yep.
00:30:41.000 Right?
00:30:41.000 Yep.
00:30:42.000 Different, different game.
00:30:43.000 And you need a degree, right?
00:30:44.000 So were you going to school at that point and while you were in or not?
00:30:47.000 Yeah, I already went to school.
00:30:49.000 I did go to school while I was in.
00:30:50.000 Okay.
00:30:50.000 You got your bachelor's exam and we could talk about that as well.
00:30:53.000 You got your bachelor's in there?
00:30:54.000 In business.
00:30:55.000 Okay.
00:30:55.000 Nice.
00:30:57.000 And anyways, so I switched over to being an officer.
00:30:59.000 I went to officer school, graduated, and still felt the same way.
00:31:03.000 And then the last straw, and this is why I want to tell a story, was when you become an officer, you get a sponsor, just to make it simple for everybody.
00:31:12.000 You get a sponsor, right?
00:31:13.000 Someone who's managing your career.
00:31:16.000 So she comes up to me one day and she's like, hey, I want to introduce you to this colonel, Colonel Bond.
00:31:22.000 He's black and he's looking for more black officers.
00:31:25.000 Okay.
00:31:26.000 Yeah, that's exactly my reaction.
00:31:26.000 Interesting.
00:31:28.000 Yeah.
00:31:29.000 What year is this just said at this point?
00:31:31.000 This is like 2008?
00:31:33.000 2017.
00:31:34.000 2017.
00:31:34.000 Oh, okay.
00:31:35.000 So under the first Trump administration, this stuff was already going to happen.
00:31:35.000 Not too long.
00:31:39.000 Gotcha.
00:31:39.000 So the EI was already coming.
00:31:41.000 It was just only a matter of time.
00:31:43.000 And I think Biden accelerated it.
00:31:45.000 Anyways, so when she told me that, my heart dropped and I was like, yeah, I'm done.
00:31:50.000 So I wrote a letter and I said, hey, I can't be the officer the Army needs me to be.
00:31:55.000 You guys got to let me go.
00:31:57.000 I already had 13 years in, and whoever looked at it, whatever colonel, blessed them, because they looked at it, signed it, and called it a day.
00:32:05.000 Wow.
00:32:06.000 So you turned down a promotion opportunity because you wanted to be judged on the merits of your skill set versus the color of your skin.
00:32:14.000 Yeah, it's the way I was brought up.
00:32:16.000 Wow.
00:32:16.000 I had to earn everything.
00:32:18.000 A lot of people wouldn't do that.
00:32:19.000 They'd be like, oh, let me take that freebie.
00:32:20.000 Like, let's go.
00:32:21.000 Well, a lot of people would have stayed in.
00:32:22.000 Yeah, of course.
00:32:23.000 And then would have been a slave.
00:32:25.000 Wow, man.
00:32:26.000 Bro, I ain't going to lie.
00:32:28.000 That's very commendable.
00:32:29.000 Because a lot of people would just take that and been like, cool, I'm going to take this opportunity.
00:32:32.000 But you're like, no, I'm not going to.
00:32:33.000 And by the way, that's not to say that veterans are slaves as far as getting 20 years in and then collecting a check.
00:32:39.000 But I think you know, you have some level of self-awareness or some inclination to know, I am not the guy to take a salary.
00:32:47.000 I'm not the guy that's going to just cruise.
00:32:51.000 That was never me.
00:32:52.000 I can't help it.
00:32:53.000 I have to be like, I'm doing something.
00:32:56.000 I'm going somewhere.
00:32:57.000 I got this going on.
00:32:59.000 And the military kept making me feel like I was being, what is it?
00:33:04.000 Being controlled in a sense because I couldn't obviously manage my time.
00:33:08.000 They manage your time.
00:33:09.000 Right.
00:33:10.000 So you can't be anywhere you want to be when you want to be.
00:33:13.000 And every time there's a training coming up, it always happens when it's like, oh, I was supposed to go to this birthday party or I was supposed to go hang out with so-and-so.
00:33:20.000 Right.
00:33:21.000 So there was plenty of stuff going on and the standards were getting weak anyway.
00:33:26.000 And I was really, I was a serious guy.
00:33:28.000 Like I was probably 10x serious than what you see right now.
00:33:31.000 I would never smile.
00:33:32.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:33:33.000 I was like that guy.
00:33:34.000 Like, hey, that guy, don't mess with him.
00:33:37.000 So just watching the wokeism permeate throughout the military, you're like, I'm out.
00:33:41.000 This pissed me off.
00:33:42.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:33:43.000 And it just felt heavy on my heart that I could probably be doing something better outside the military where I could help people.
00:33:50.000 So when did you really start seeing this happening?
00:33:52.000 Did you see this transition in the wokeism with the military happen?
00:33:55.000 Like, what, 2016, 2017-ish era?
00:33:58.000 Was it before that even you saw it coming?
00:34:03.000 I would say it started in early 2000s.
00:34:07.000 Okay.
00:34:09.000 One indicator of that is look at the military uniforms.
00:34:14.000 We went from shining our boots, pressing our uniforms, to having tan boots and not pressing your uniforms.
00:34:22.000 That was like indicator number one.
00:34:25.000 The people at the top, these, you know, again, all of these chiefs who think they know better, they were looking for convenience, another way to make money, because that is a contract.
00:34:34.000 Yeah.
00:34:35.000 You see what I'm saying?
00:34:36.000 Yep.
00:34:37.000 And instead of sticking to what makes the military great, that's just one small thing that over time, just brick by brick, policy by policy, you know, rule by rule that kept chipping or chipping at the quality of the military.
00:34:54.000 That's why we became soft over time.
00:34:56.000 If you have to weigh the odds of joining the military now, would you say it's worth it for a young man?
00:35:01.000 Oh, absolutely.
00:35:02.000 No question.
00:35:02.000 Yeah.
00:35:03.000 And I'm extreme on this.
00:35:05.000 I'm of the opinion that as a senior, you should join the military for at least two years.
00:35:09.000 Yep.
00:35:10.000 And you should leave this country.
00:35:12.000 Really?
00:35:13.000 Yeah.
00:35:14.000 Why?
00:35:15.000 Because most people are stuck in a bubble.
00:35:17.000 Yeah.
00:35:17.000 Yeah.
00:35:18.000 Most people think the world is their local town.
00:35:20.000 Yeah.
00:35:21.000 No, it's not.
00:35:22.000 Not even your state.
00:35:23.000 Yeah.
00:35:24.000 Right?
00:35:24.000 Like, honestly, how many people watching have how many of them have traveled out of state, went to another state they've never been to, went somewhere they've never been to on purpose?
00:35:36.000 Most Americans don't even have a passport.
00:35:38.000 Let alone like, you know, yeah.
00:35:40.000 I mean, so Pete Hegseth is trying to roll back a lot of these things that we discussed with what's going on.
00:35:48.000 What's your thoughts on that?
00:35:50.000 Are you happy that he's been kind of rolling out these fitness standards?
00:35:53.000 You know, trimming beards again, going back to it.
00:35:53.000 Yeah.
00:35:55.000 What are your thoughts on that?
00:35:58.000 It's everything you guys talk about on this show.
00:36:00.000 Okay.
00:36:01.000 You got to pay a price.
00:36:04.000 And over time, they've been lowering the value of that price through DEI and woke policies.
00:36:09.000 Now he's going back to we got to pay a high price to be the most effective military in the world.
00:36:15.000 And that price is high standards, inconvenience.
00:36:19.000 You know, and this is the thing that people don't understand: you can't get something without giving something up.
00:36:24.000 So if you want to be great in life, you got to, you got to eat crap.
00:36:28.000 Like, you know what I mean?
00:36:29.000 Like, if you want to get good in the gym, you got to tear some muscles.
00:36:32.000 I mean, that's literally what's happening, right?
00:36:34.000 Your muscles are tearing when you're working out.
00:36:36.000 Anyways, Pete Hegseth, in my opinion, and this is probably a hot take for people in politics.
00:36:43.000 I think Pete Hegseth was the best pick out of anybody in that cabinet.
00:36:47.000 Okay.
00:36:48.000 Why?
00:36:49.000 Because he is your soldier's general.
00:36:53.000 He is your soldier's secretary of war.
00:36:55.000 Like if I'm a soldier, that's my guy.
00:36:58.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:36:59.000 Because he's me.
00:37:00.000 More relatable.
00:37:01.000 Absolutely.
00:37:02.000 Far more relatable.
00:37:02.000 I don't think there's any more relatable in that in any of those cabinet positions than him.
00:37:06.000 Yeah.
00:37:07.000 No, I like that.
00:37:08.000 He's not bought and paid for by some military contractor because he was on the board of directors and had stocks in that company.
00:37:15.000 That's not him.
00:37:16.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:37:17.000 Like he actually served and was in the military.
00:37:18.000 No, I definitely see that perspective.
00:37:21.000 And, you know, he does get a lot of respect from people.
00:37:24.000 I mean, they changed it to Secretary of War, right?
00:37:27.000 Department of War.
00:37:28.000 Exactly.
00:37:29.000 They changed the name.
00:37:29.000 Right.
00:37:32.000 But no, I do like what he's doing with the military where he's put standards back in, got rid of the wokeism.
00:37:37.000 You know, because I remember there were like people in high positions that we didn't even know what their gender is, right?
00:37:41.000 I'm on YouTube.
00:37:42.000 I'll keep it clean.
00:37:43.000 But that's absolutely nuts to me that we would have policies like that in our military.
00:37:47.000 And me and you have talked about this.
00:37:50.000 I think one of the biggest threats to us is China.
00:37:53.000 Absolutely.
00:37:54.000 So, you know, because obviously increasing the standards of the military and becoming more refined, there's a reason for that.
00:37:59.000 It's because one of our biggest competitors, China, is growing stronger day by day.
00:38:03.000 And, you know, I'm glad that Hexa is able to come in and put standards back in because I watch the Chinese military parade.
00:38:03.000 Yeah.
00:38:10.000 Yeah.
00:38:10.000 And I watch our parade.
00:38:12.000 And I'm like, they're not even marching in cadence.
00:38:15.000 No.
00:38:15.000 People look sloppy.
00:38:16.000 A lot of people are overweight.
00:38:17.000 Meanwhile, the Chinese are, you know, marching literally in perfect unison.
00:38:21.000 All the guys are in shape.
00:38:23.000 It's not even close if you watch them side by side.
00:38:25.000 They're like machines.
00:38:26.000 Yeah, dude.
00:38:27.000 You know, so what are your thoughts on that in general?
00:38:27.000 Pretty much.
00:38:31.000 Well, don't forget about the United States Marine Corps.
00:38:34.000 Yeah.
00:38:35.000 Right?
00:38:35.000 Because I think they are our best and brightest.
00:38:37.000 For sure.
00:38:38.000 That's why if you go to the White House, who do you see?
00:38:40.000 You don't see Army.
00:38:41.000 You see Marines.
00:38:42.000 Yep.
00:38:43.000 And who's guarding that door?
00:38:44.000 Marines.
00:38:45.000 And every embassy internationally, they're there.
00:38:47.000 Exactly.
00:38:48.000 Exactly.
00:38:49.000 So, you know, I just think someone made a terrible, I guess, I don't know why they chose that particular unit to march in the parade.
00:38:58.000 They should have just chose the Marines.
00:39:00.000 Yeah.
00:39:01.000 So I think that has something to be said.
00:39:03.000 But the Army, just so you guys understand, there's never been an expectation for the Army to be sharp as far as their image is concerned, like the Marine Corps is.
00:39:11.000 Yeah.
00:39:12.000 It's never been that way.
00:39:14.000 So you get out.
00:39:15.000 How did you transition from soldier life to civilian life, then into YouTube and podcasts?
00:39:21.000 So my brother and I, we had a juice bar.
00:39:23.000 We started a juice bar in our local town.
00:39:26.000 Our direct competition was Jamaju.
00:39:29.000 Jamba Juice?
00:39:29.000 Jamajuce.
00:39:30.000 Yeah.
00:39:31.000 And I learned a lot about our entrepreneurship.
00:39:31.000 Yeah.
00:39:31.000 I knew it.
00:39:34.000 And we were pretty successful because we just did the opposite of what they were doing.
00:39:38.000 You know, they weren't really into organic and making it fresh.
00:39:43.000 You know, they, because it's a franchise.
00:39:45.000 Yeah, of course, of course.
00:39:46.000 They're trying to maximize profits.
00:39:47.000 A lot of sugar too.
00:39:48.000 A lot of sugar.
00:39:48.000 Exactly.
00:39:49.000 Yep.
00:39:50.000 And so we did a lot of organic.
00:39:52.000 We did a lot of juicing.
00:39:54.000 And we got it to the point where like 99.9% of everything was organic, you know?
00:40:00.000 And we did everything in-house and COVID happened.
00:40:05.000 So then we shut down.
00:40:07.000 And it was a lesson about how people who are young are thinking, like, yeah, I'm going to go start a business.
00:40:14.000 First off, like, what industry are you going in?
00:40:18.000 Because if you're going into the restaurant business, like, most people aren't getting rich, okay?
00:40:23.000 Yeah.
00:40:24.000 Most people are mortgaging their home to stay afloat.
00:40:26.000 You know what I mean?
00:40:26.000 They're surviving.
00:40:27.000 At best.
00:40:28.000 Yeah, because those margins are slim.
00:40:30.000 You got at least 30% for wages, at least to get the food or whatever you're selling is 30%.
00:40:37.000 And then you got taxes and overhead and all this other stuff.
00:40:40.000 Insurance too, as well.
00:40:41.000 Yeah, insurance.
00:40:42.000 So you're not really making any money.
00:40:43.000 I think the average percentage of the profits in restaurant is 3% or something like that.
00:40:47.000 It's a grueling business, man.
00:40:49.000 It's a grind.
00:40:50.000 So we did that.
00:40:52.000 We shut it down.
00:40:53.000 That's actually where I met my wife, by the way.
00:40:56.000 Was she a customer?
00:40:57.000 She was an employee.
00:40:59.000 So you guys go ahead and...
00:41:00.000 Hey, man.
00:41:01.000 Hey, man.
00:41:02.000 Do what you got to do, bro.
00:41:03.000 No, no, do what you got to do.
00:41:05.000 We're all for it.
00:41:05.000 We're all for it.
00:41:06.000 If it works, it works, brother.
00:41:08.000 Yeah.
00:41:08.000 I ain't mad at you at all.
00:41:09.000 It works.
00:41:10.000 Hey, we are married.
00:41:12.000 No shaving from us.
00:41:13.000 We are married.
00:41:14.000 So I think that's if you're going to do it.
00:41:16.000 Didn't they say if she works at a shop or McDonald's be when everybody for up?
00:41:23.000 Yeah, they're idiots.
00:41:23.000 Didn't they say that?
00:41:25.000 Whoever says that's girls.
00:41:27.000 She's a boss baby.
00:41:27.000 No, she's great.
00:41:29.000 She's very base chat.
00:41:31.000 Actually, I wish she would have been on the panel with some of the girls.
00:41:34.000 No, she won't be.
00:41:35.000 But one day she will.
00:41:36.000 So, she's fantastic.
00:41:37.000 She's great, man.
00:41:38.000 W, man, it's good for you.
00:41:39.000 Yeah.
00:41:40.000 So we, yeah.
00:41:40.000 Yeah.
00:41:42.000 So what happened after that?
00:41:43.000 I went into coaching people on mindset because I believe what helped me so much was my mindset.
00:41:51.000 So, you know, I was raised by a single mother.
00:41:53.000 My biggest downfall at that time was I was so angry at my dad for never being around.
00:41:58.000 That killed me for so many times.
00:41:59.000 I was an angry dude.
00:42:00.000 Like no one ever wanted to be around me.
00:42:02.000 Wow.
00:42:03.000 Because they're so common, polite.
00:42:05.000 Like I would never.
00:42:05.000 Oh, no, I'm a totally different guy today.
00:42:07.000 Yeah.
00:42:07.000 But it was mindset that changed it.
00:42:09.000 Gotcha.
00:42:10.000 Yeah.
00:42:10.000 So that's why when you're trying to tell these women who are like, yeah, I'm going to freeze my eggs and then I'm going to like have a kid on my own.
00:42:19.000 And you're an idiot, bro.
00:42:21.000 Like you're really going to hurt that child in so many ways that you don't even see.
00:42:26.000 Now, luckily for me, I actually like, I had like an epiphany one day.
00:42:31.000 I was like, why am I so angry?
00:42:33.000 Oh, I'm angry at my dad, but why?
00:42:37.000 He should be angry, not me.
00:42:39.000 Right?
00:42:40.000 That's his burden, not me.
00:42:42.000 So I got, and mindset helped me.
00:42:45.000 I got a mentor and all that other stuff.
00:42:47.000 And then I started coaching people like every day, five, six calls every day for like two years straight during COVID.
00:42:53.000 It's a perfect time.
00:42:55.000 And then COVID hurt your juice business significantly, or were you still like?
00:43:00.000 Oh, we closed it.
00:43:00.000 Usually it's just straight up closed.
00:43:01.000 No, we closed it when the world shut down, literally.
00:43:05.000 So in California, it was like you can't even have your business open at that time.
00:43:05.000 Okay.
00:43:05.000 Yeah.
00:43:09.000 He was in Camiforia back then.
00:43:10.000 Yeah.
00:43:10.000 Yeah.
00:43:11.000 Were you scared about the outcome?
00:43:11.000 Okay.
00:43:14.000 What was coming next?
00:43:15.000 Closing it down?
00:43:17.000 No, I was at peace.
00:43:19.000 Yeah, I was at peace.
00:43:20.000 Because again, it's not cookies and milk owning a business.
00:43:24.000 It's not cookies and milk managing people, you know.
00:43:27.000 And it sucks in the restaurant industry because you have to pay these employees minimum wage.
00:43:35.000 It's like you almost don't have a choice unless you want to go out of business.
00:43:39.000 You know?
00:43:40.000 So, you know, I didn't like that aspect either.
00:43:42.000 I always believe in paying people a little bit more than usual because I think if you invest in your people, it comes back, you know.
00:43:52.000 Agreed.
00:43:52.000 Yeah.
00:43:53.000 In restaurant, you can't really do that unless unless you have multiple locations, the money's up, you know, but history has shown that doesn't work.
00:44:01.000 So, oh, good.
00:44:02.000 No, just I have a lot of friends that own restaurants in Miami.
00:44:05.000 Yeah.
00:44:06.000 And surviving is pretty much like an everyday thing.
00:44:09.000 Yeah.
00:44:10.000 Now, what would you say if someone wanted to start a restaurant, it should start having a mind to do?
00:44:15.000 Because obviously you went through the bullshit.
00:44:17.000 It happened to you as well.
00:44:18.000 But like, you know what to do now more than anybody else.
00:44:21.000 Well, it's the same.
00:44:23.000 So one of the biggest lessons in entrepreneurship is do the opposite of what everybody else is doing.
00:44:28.000 What most people do is what you just said: brick and mortar, right?
00:44:32.000 They put out, it costs a lot of money, a lot of overhead.
00:44:36.000 Okay, well, what can you do instead?
00:44:39.000 A food truck, a pop-up, save up your money first, build up your clientele, establish a loyal base, get your name out there, and then leverage into a brick and mortar if it actually makes sense.
00:44:51.000 That's smart.
00:44:52.000 Yeah, the food truck angle is very good.
00:44:54.000 Because we know a girl that came on the show, she started a food truck.
00:44:57.000 She does vegan stuff as well.
00:44:59.000 I think here in McCarthy.
00:45:00.000 She's killing her angle.
00:45:02.000 But she started small, got a customer base, and then it's going to expand later on.
00:45:06.000 Food trucks are underrated because you can move it too.
00:45:08.000 Yeah.
00:45:09.000 That's the other thing.
00:45:09.000 I mean, getting a permit might be a pain depending on where you are.
00:45:12.000 Exactly.
00:45:13.000 But that might be better than a solid location.
00:45:17.000 And if you add social media marketing as well with that, with your actual clientele and your customers, you got a perfect synergy there.
00:45:23.000 Yeah.
00:45:24.000 See, it goes back to what they don't teach you in school.
00:45:27.000 So step number one is you got to get your mindset in order because no matter what opportunity comes your way, if you're not in the right state of mind, you're going to fumble it every time.
00:45:36.000 There's no question about it.
00:45:37.000 Because we're a product of our own environment.
00:45:37.000 Why?
00:45:39.000 Have you guys seen the movie Trading Places?
00:45:41.000 No, I've heard of it, but I never watched it.
00:45:43.000 Eddie Murphy, Dan Aykroyd, one of the best movies ever made.
00:45:48.000 The point of the movie was taking Eddie Murphy, who was on the corner, homeless, robbing people all the time, ghetto, all this stuff, right?
00:45:55.000 They made a dollar bet that they could take him and put him in their company, clean him up, have him around white people who are successful in the stock market, and he will be successful, probably more successful than they would be.
00:46:09.000 Take a guy who was one of these white dudes who were successful, stock market, grew up clean, and put his ass on the street and see what happens.
00:46:18.000 Product of our environments.
00:46:19.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:46:20.000 So, yeah, the circle you're around is very important, very underrated.
00:46:24.000 So, I say step one mindset because most people still today are making decisions and thinking based on the environment they grew up in.
00:46:33.000 That's not necessarily the environment they're currently living in.
00:46:37.000 So, for example, you hear the quote: you know, you could take the guy out of the hood, but you can't take the hood out of the guy or whatever.
00:46:45.000 They haven't changed their mindset.
00:46:46.000 They have to shift their paradigm.
00:46:48.000 Shit.
00:46:49.000 So that's step one.
00:46:50.000 Okay.
00:46:51.000 And then step two is what you just said about the food truck, about the girl.
00:46:56.000 You got to understand that our whole purpose on this planet, besides obviously expansion and growth, is serving each other.
00:47:06.000 Okay.
00:47:06.000 How do you do that?
00:47:07.000 You do that by solving a problem.
00:47:10.000 Like they don't teach you this stuff.
00:47:13.000 What problem are you guys solving with Fresh and Fit?
00:47:16.000 Dating.
00:47:17.000 The number one men's podcast in the world.
00:47:19.000 Right.
00:47:20.000 So exactly.
00:47:22.000 That's a big problem.
00:47:23.000 Most men today are like me.
00:47:24.000 They didn't have both parents.
00:47:26.000 They didn't have a good father.
00:47:28.000 Yeah.
00:47:29.000 So, and then they're being bombarded by all this nonsense on social media.
00:47:32.000 That's a whole other thing.
00:47:33.000 Point is, you got to solve, you have to solve a problem for people.
00:47:37.000 Got it.
00:47:38.000 That's really good.
00:47:38.000 Yeah.
00:47:40.000 We can actually read some chats real quick because I know on your thing, and we got like, I think between all the platforms, like 5,06,000 you guys watching here, maybe more actually between all the platforms.
00:47:50.000 We could read some of your chats.
00:47:51.000 Sure.
00:47:52.000 Okay, so we got here.
00:47:53.000 Can we make that big for us, please?
00:47:56.000 Okay, we got here.
00:47:58.000 We were forced out by the government of Afghanistan.
00:48:01.000 That's why we pulled out that way.
00:48:05.000 That's what he's saying.
00:48:06.000 Okay, he's saying yeah, but that still doesn't excuse.
00:48:09.000 I mean, they lost, they left billions of dollars.
00:48:11.000 That wasn't that hard to believe, but okay.
00:48:13.000 Because even if they did, bro, they don't tell us how to leave.
00:48:17.000 Exactly.
00:48:18.000 What?
00:48:18.000 Because we lost so much.
00:48:19.000 We lost like a billion dollars worth of classified equipment?
00:48:21.000 Oh, and we probably more than that just by even being there.
00:48:25.000 How many equipment was left it there?
00:48:28.000 Destroyed.
00:48:29.000 Yeah.
00:48:29.000 Damn.
00:48:30.000 Like a lot of weapons, supplies, night vision, goggles, vehicles were destroyed because they didn't want to send it back.
00:48:30.000 A lot of people don't know that.
00:48:38.000 Yeah.
00:48:40.000 Okay.
00:48:40.000 I can't wait to see Devorah on After Hours, what the Scanless Air Force is going to bring him back to the days.
00:48:45.000 Yeah, it's going to be funny.
00:48:46.000 Adrian Dolway, thank you very much for that.
00:48:48.000 Adrianis Rahm, this from Rumble says, I live in Doha, Qatar.
00:48:51.000 I'm originally from Algeria.
00:48:52.000 I've been doing sales with U.S.-based companies for over two years remotely.
00:48:55.000 I get around 2K from my U.S. job at NSC.
00:48:59.000 That ain't much.
00:48:59.000 With living costs in Qatar, I'm left with nothing.
00:49:01.000 I can get a second job in Qatar and work 90 hours a week or go back to Algeria to save.
00:49:06.000 Yeah, I would say, and this comes from entry.
00:49:08.000 Yeah, bro, I would say get a second job.
00:49:10.000 Try to make it where you're at because you're going to have way more opportunity in Qatar than in Algeria.
00:49:14.000 Can I just say this really quickly?
00:49:15.000 This is a great example of what I'm talking about.
00:49:17.000 What's not taught?
00:49:18.000 What dictates a sales person from the amount of money that they can make?
00:49:24.000 Well, it's the need for what they do.
00:49:26.000 So, what problem are they solving?
00:49:27.000 What product are they selling?
00:49:30.000 Their ability to do it.
00:49:31.000 How good are they at sales?
00:49:33.000 Most people are not self-aware enough to say, hey, you know what?
00:49:36.000 I suck at this.
00:49:37.000 I had a roofing in a solar company as well with my brother.
00:49:42.000 And I sucked at it.
00:49:45.000 I wasn't a great manager.
00:49:46.000 I wasn't a good CEO for that business.
00:49:49.000 I was the wrong guy.
00:49:50.000 And I think the problem with men is we have to be able to look in the mirror and just understand that, hey, I'm not good.
00:49:57.000 So why don't I find something I am good at?
00:50:00.000 Most people waste a decade in a career they've never been good at, will never be good at.
00:50:05.000 They'll be average.
00:50:07.000 You're wasting time.
00:50:09.000 Everybody's good at something.
00:50:11.000 The key or the unlock is finding out what you're great at.
00:50:15.000 You're great at people, relationships, right?
00:50:19.000 That's you.
00:50:20.000 You go out there and you can smoke.
00:50:22.000 Network.
00:50:22.000 Not everybody has that skill.
00:50:25.000 Like, I'm not, that's not me, man.
00:50:25.000 Right?
00:50:27.000 I'm an introvert at heart.
00:50:29.000 Okay.
00:50:30.000 But obviously, that's easy for you.
00:50:33.000 So that's how you've been able to leverage, right?
00:50:36.000 And I'm just using you as an example.
00:50:38.000 It's just self-awareness.
00:50:40.000 So, two thousand dollars is like, yeah, I get a second job, but are you good at sales?
00:50:48.000 Because if you're not good, you'll keep making that money.
00:50:51.000 And you're saying, if his skill level isn't there, you should say, you know what, be self-aware, anything, prove better to get a better skill set.
00:50:58.000 Yeah, I mean, I guess I'm a little extreme because I think our society needs to get we need to lean in on specialization, and that needs to start in like middle school.
00:51:09.000 We need to identify people at a young age of what they are great at, what their inherent skills already are.
00:51:16.000 You could tell when you see children, like what child is great at what, you know, and it's the same thing with adults.
00:51:24.000 But, anyways, I don't know him personally.
00:51:27.000 I'm just saying that, you know, if you've been making 2,000 and let's say you've been in sales for three years, you're not good.
00:51:34.000 I mean, three years, or you haven't gotten the right training, you're not in the right company.
00:51:39.000 That could be it as well.
00:51:41.000 I was in sales, I was selling solar and roofs.
00:51:43.000 I know this.
00:51:44.000 You know, the people who were the most successful, the people who had the innate talent already, they had no problem talking with people, they had no problem bullshitting, you know, having that talk with people, that empty space where you just got to kind of chat it up.
00:51:58.000 There are people who can't do that.
00:52:00.000 Yeah, you know, they go crazy.
00:52:02.000 They'll have anxiety or start sweating and stuff like that.
00:52:04.000 Exactly.
00:52:04.000 Yeah.
00:52:05.000 All right.
00:52:06.000 What do we got here?
00:52:08.000 What else?
00:52:09.000 Okay.
00:52:10.000 Oh, authentically Kennedy.
00:52:13.000 Love you, babe, putting little to bed.
00:52:14.000 That's lovely too.
00:52:15.000 Shout out to you.
00:52:16.000 Also, WRW Fresh, WMO, W. Chris, thank you for taking care of my hubby.
00:52:20.000 Anytime.
00:52:20.000 Hey, anytime.
00:52:21.000 W. We're going to kidnap him so he won't go back to Jesus.
00:52:24.000 I'll let you.
00:52:25.000 Bro, Frank reading the chat.
00:52:25.000 I let you.
00:52:26.000 Nigga too smart.
00:52:27.000 Yeah, he was reading.
00:52:27.000 W Frank.
00:52:29.000 I was reading for sure.
00:52:31.000 Anything.
00:52:32.000 Okay, cool.
00:52:33.000 So I guess, so, dude, you've been blowing up on YouTube.
00:52:33.000 Yeah.
00:52:37.000 You know, you've done a fantastic job of, you know, really coming into the space and growing.
00:52:42.000 Can you tell us a little bit about how you got into YouTube, how you're able to scale up your channel and grow so quickly?
00:52:49.000 And I guess, and then we can get into the political stuff as well.
00:52:52.000 Your channel.
00:52:52.000 Oh, yeah, absolutely.
00:52:55.000 And we could talk a little bit about marriage if we have time.
00:52:57.000 Sure.
00:52:58.000 Yeah.
00:52:59.000 So I do the political commentary on YouTube.
00:53:01.000 We actually have three channels.
00:53:03.000 Number two just crossed over 100,000.
00:53:05.000 Darkens Breaking News.
00:53:06.000 Nice.
00:53:06.000 Let's go.
00:53:07.000 That is raw clips of congressional hearings.
00:53:11.000 You know, people who don't want any commentary.
00:53:14.000 Anyways, your question is like, what was that?
00:53:18.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:53:18.000 Like, how'd you get into YouTube?
00:53:19.000 How are you able to scale it up?
00:53:21.000 You know, take us through that grind.
00:53:23.000 So my wife gets credit here because she kept like, hey, you need to do this.
00:53:23.000 Yeah.
00:53:29.000 And I'd be like, nah, I'm good because I thought politics was negative.
00:53:33.000 And you're an introvert, right?
00:53:34.000 So an introvert.
00:53:35.000 Exactly.
00:53:36.000 And I was like, nah, I don't want to, I don't want anybody thinking, you know, I'm crazy or something like that.
00:53:41.000 Because you know how it was, especially two years ago.
00:53:43.000 You start talking like a conservative and people are like, oh, yeah.
00:53:46.000 You know.
00:53:47.000 But I look back at how you're going to be.
00:53:49.000 Especially as a black dude.
00:53:50.000 Exactly.
00:53:51.000 Especially as a black dude.
00:53:52.000 And you're from California.
00:53:53.000 Exactly.
00:53:54.000 I just read a message today.
00:53:55.000 Someone was calling me a coon again.
00:53:56.000 Yeah.
00:53:57.000 Every time, dude.
00:53:58.000 Yeah, every time.
00:53:59.000 So July 13th rolls around.
00:54:02.000 And it was probably the first time I actually sat down and watched a full Trump rally.
00:54:10.000 Because before then, I was just like, I'd watch people react to it.
00:54:14.000 I'd watch clips.
00:54:16.000 You know, that's how it is today.
00:54:17.000 You scroll your phone, you watch clips, you keep it moving.
00:54:20.000 Well, that was the only day I was like, I'm going to sit down and actually watch and saw the assassination attempt live.
00:54:26.000 I was like, whoa, I'm going to talk about this right now.
00:54:30.000 And from that point on, I never stopped.
00:54:33.000 The videos are all still there.
00:54:35.000 Yeah.
00:54:35.000 Damn.
00:54:36.000 I kept them up there just so people didn't think I was some Russian plant.
00:54:39.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:54:40.000 Because people accuse, hey, who's this guy?
00:54:42.000 I mean, how did he get someone's paying him?
00:54:44.000 You know, but what people say, they come up with crazy stuff.
00:54:47.000 It's all on Reddit.
00:54:48.000 You guys, there's a whole thread on me.
00:54:50.000 It's fascinating.
00:54:51.000 But at any rate, so I started and then this is what year now, roughly July 13th of 2024.
00:55:00.000 Wow.
00:55:00.000 Okay.
00:55:01.000 A year ago.
00:55:02.000 Huge growth in that time.
00:55:02.000 Yeah.
00:55:03.000 So now your main channel is like 1.5 or something like that or 1.
00:55:07.000 1.1.
00:55:08.000 1.1.
00:55:09.000 Okay.
00:55:09.000 If we round it up a little bit.
00:55:10.000 Yeah.
00:55:11.000 1.08.
00:55:12.000 But yeah.
00:55:13.000 You know what's funny?
00:55:15.000 Let's take your wife because without her, you wouldn't be here today.
00:55:18.000 Yeah.
00:55:20.000 Yeah.
00:55:24.000 So I guess what I guess if you want to give the people what are your basic political takes on certain topics you can go on immigration, healthcare, whatever you're doing.
00:55:34.000 Overall, I am a Christian.
00:55:36.000 So I believe I wouldn't be where I am without Jesus Christ and God.
00:55:40.000 No question about that.
00:55:42.000 I think science and religion are not in war with each other.
00:55:47.000 I think they actually are explanations of our universe.
00:55:52.000 At any rate, and the other part of scaling on YouTube was just the consistency.
00:55:59.000 But anyways, the point is my position is very clear.
00:56:02.000 This country now more than ever needs conservatives in leadership.
00:56:07.000 Why?
00:56:08.000 Because if we don't have conservatives in leadership, progressives are going to take over and then we're really screwed.
00:56:13.000 Now, we're already screwed now.
00:56:16.000 But I guess the question for everybody is, how fast do you want to get screwed?
00:56:20.000 Yeah.
00:56:20.000 Okay.
00:56:21.000 So, so you want to accelerate the house fire or not?
00:56:25.000 Right.
00:56:25.000 Exactly.
00:56:26.000 So I'm not naive.
00:56:27.000 Okay.
00:56:28.000 I know that everybody in the government inherently is corrupt.
00:56:33.000 There's no question about that.
00:56:35.000 So I believe that we need conservatives because they at least apply some level of restriction, some level of restraint.
00:56:44.000 Hey, let's slow down a little bit here.
00:56:46.000 You know, progressives are like, yeah, let's just go all the way.
00:56:49.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:56:50.000 Open the root of the word.
00:56:52.000 Conserve versus progress.
00:56:54.000 Exactly.
00:56:54.000 There you go.
00:56:55.000 There you go.
00:56:55.000 It's in the name.
00:56:57.000 So, oh, good.
00:56:58.000 Also, you're bringing back common sense as well, which is a lost art.
00:57:01.000 Isn't that crazy?
00:57:02.000 That's like what Trump and JD campaigned on.
00:57:04.000 Like bringing back common sense.
00:57:05.000 And I'm like, that's where we are.
00:57:06.000 I want to start doing videos about common sense because it's like gone, bro.
00:57:09.000 Americans are so lost in the sauce.
00:57:11.000 Crazy.
00:57:11.000 Right.
00:57:12.000 So common sense would tell you today in this world, you need to get your mindset right and you need to get your money right.
00:57:20.000 You don't need to be rich like Elon Musk, but you got to stop spending more than you make, you know?
00:57:26.000 And then you also need to raise your income.
00:57:28.000 But yeah, I do believe that we need to have conservatives in leadership.
00:57:34.000 We need people more politically aware about what both sides are saying so they can make informed choices about who they elect, especially at the local level.
00:57:42.000 Case in point, in Texas, this was six months ago when they had that rain that flooded and the people at the park died.
00:57:51.000 They couldn't save them.
00:57:53.000 This is in the middle of Texas.
00:57:55.000 I didn't even hear about this story.
00:57:56.000 Well, what's interesting is when they did the investigation, they found out that the local people had a measure on the ballot like five years before that to put in an emergency alert system similar to tornadoes and hurricanes, but for flood.
00:58:14.000 And they voted no because they didn't want to pay the extra money.
00:58:17.000 Gotcha.
00:58:19.000 Some people believe.
00:58:20.000 And also because some of the permits changed over time that allowed people to stay where they were staying in that park.
00:58:25.000 That is what actually contributed to the amount of deaths that took place.
00:58:29.000 Wow.
00:58:30.000 Because they didn't have that thing in place to potentially notify them ahead of time.
00:58:34.000 So I use that example as like federally, you probably can't do much about right now, Congress and the president.
00:58:43.000 But you could definitely do something about your local community, your school board, you know, your city council.
00:58:49.000 You could do some stuff there.
00:58:50.000 You can make an impact.
00:58:51.000 And I think what we need to be advocating, all American citizens, is get the government out of the way.
00:58:58.000 Bring it back to the community.
00:59:00.000 Bring it back to family.
00:59:02.000 Bring it back to our neighbors.
00:59:03.000 You know, the problem, the source of our problem is Congress.
00:59:08.000 I talk about this every day.
00:59:09.000 They want to blame the president for everything.
00:59:12.000 No, Congress is a walking conflict of interests.
00:59:15.000 They have access to information that allows them to trade stocks and become ultra-wealthy.
00:59:15.000 Of course.
00:59:21.000 Yeah, that's nuts, right?
00:59:22.000 That's nuts.
00:59:23.000 And it's not against the law.
00:59:24.000 Yeah.
00:59:25.000 Isn't that considered insider trading a little bit?
00:59:27.000 I just said it.
00:59:27.000 It's not against the law.
00:59:30.000 They motion the law.
00:59:31.000 Yeah.
00:59:32.000 What you're saying is true, but for some odd reason, it doesn't apply for them.
00:59:32.000 Yeah.
00:59:36.000 So what?
00:59:37.000 Okay.
00:59:38.000 What if I was friends with some of them and they gave me tips on the side?
00:59:42.000 Oh, shit.
00:59:43.000 Is that so, like...
00:59:45.000 Oh, that's already happened.
00:59:47.000 Yeah.
00:59:48.000 It's already happened.
00:59:49.000 Yeah, a lot of these politicians, you look at them and it's like, you've been making $170K per year for the last 10 years.
00:59:54.000 How are you a multi-multi-millionaire?
00:59:56.000 Yeah, I mean, what's that lady's name?
00:59:59.000 Nancy Pelosi.
00:59:59.000 Nancy Pelosi.
01:00:00.000 It's called the Pelosi Act.
01:00:00.000 Yeah.
01:00:03.000 They still haven't passed it.
01:00:04.000 Why?
01:00:06.000 Because they're not going to.
01:00:08.000 I didn't even know that was on the book.
01:00:09.000 So it's been drafted.
01:00:10.000 They just haven't pushed it in both chambers, House and Senate.
01:00:10.000 It's sitting around.
01:00:13.000 Oh, wow.
01:00:14.000 Yeah.
01:00:16.000 How long has that been around?
01:00:17.000 Because I haven't heard of it.
01:00:18.000 Many years.
01:00:19.000 And it's funny.
01:00:19.000 Okay.
01:00:19.000 Yeah.
01:00:20.000 Yep.
01:00:21.000 So I think.
01:00:21.000 Yeah.
01:00:22.000 That shit never got passed.
01:00:24.000 I think that for everybody out there protesting no kings and all this bullshit.
01:00:29.000 Can I curse them?
01:00:30.000 Yeah.
01:00:32.000 I try to keep it clean on my channel, but I'm going to tell you how I feel.
01:00:35.000 All these people protesting this bullshit at No Kings protests, what they should be doing is protesting the entire government.
01:00:41.000 Yeah.
01:00:42.000 Because Democrats, too, and you want to talk about corrupt.
01:00:45.000 What era had one of the biggest wealth transfers in history?
01:00:49.000 Ooh.
01:00:50.000 The housing crash, probably?
01:00:52.000 Obama.
01:00:52.000 COVID.
01:00:53.000 Well, yeah, of course.
01:00:54.000 Yeah.
01:00:55.000 Tell them.
01:00:56.000 So these billionaires that they say need to pay their fair share.
01:00:59.000 Oh, the billionaires that you made rich.
01:01:01.000 Yeah.
01:01:03.000 The mask mandates and the vaccines.
01:01:05.000 So just to add to your point, there's a guy in Florida, though.
01:01:09.000 He bought one of my cars.
01:01:13.000 Okay.
01:01:14.000 And exotic.
01:01:15.000 The guy knew COVID was going to happen two years before.
01:01:19.000 And they bought a bunch of toiletry, a bunch of Medicare, medical equipment to sell before it happened.
01:01:26.000 And I'm like, nigga, who told you this?
01:01:28.000 There was a post on X of someone in 2014 saying the coronavirus is coming.
01:01:34.000 How would they know that?
01:01:35.000 Yeah.
01:01:36.000 So they knew it's happening beforehand.
01:01:38.000 And they prepared for it.
01:01:39.000 I made a bunch of money.
01:01:40.000 I'm like, damn, what nobody tell me, nigga?
01:01:43.000 Come on, bro.
01:01:44.000 I'm cool too, bro.
01:01:45.000 Right.
01:01:46.000 Shit, just saying.
01:01:47.000 No, for real.
01:01:48.000 I mean, all you have to do is look at the stock or SP 500 as an example from 2021 to 2024.
01:01:57.000 Look at the price of homes from 2021 to 2024.
01:02:00.000 Exploded.
01:02:02.000 Especially in Florida and Austin and some of these other really hot real estate markets.
01:02:05.000 So you got these people on the left complaining about billionaires when it's their billionaires who profited the most during COVID.
01:02:13.000 Yeah.
01:02:14.000 Democrats were overwhelmingly supportive of mass mandates, lockdowns, social distancing.
01:02:21.000 So they were literally exactly what they accused President Trump of being.
01:02:25.000 They were tyrannical.
01:02:26.000 When you're kicking people out of the military because they refuse to take a vaccine that we know was not actually studied thoroughly, is that not tyrannical?
01:02:38.000 Yeah.
01:02:39.000 I'm glad that Hegseth got a lot of those people back, and I think they came back with back pay, right?
01:02:44.000 I believe so.
01:02:44.000 Yeah.
01:02:45.000 Yeah.
01:02:46.000 I haven't been able to actually confirm, but that's what the policy, I saw the memo on that.
01:02:52.000 Yeah.
01:02:52.000 Yeah.
01:02:54.000 So I don't even know where we're actually going.
01:02:56.000 Oh, we're talking about the Democrats were the ones that were responsible for the lockdowns.
01:03:00.000 Yeah.
01:03:01.000 So at any rate, my political positions is that we need to get back to community-based initiatives, solutions, like air traffic controllers.
01:03:13.000 Why does the federal government fund air traffic controllers?
01:03:17.000 That at a minimum should be 50-50.
01:03:19.000 50 government, 50 private.
01:03:21.000 Well, yeah, that, I mean, because I was traveling a lot over the past month or so.
01:03:26.000 Yeah.
01:03:26.000 And dude, like the government shutdown, like literally every flight was delayed or canceled.
01:03:32.000 Like it was really painful to fly over if you've been traveling like the past month or so.
01:03:36.000 The government shutdown is absolutely decimating.
01:03:38.000 And then as it was going on and on, it was getting worse and worse and worse.
01:03:41.000 We hit the record of like, I think 41 or 42 days of the government shutdown.
01:03:45.000 Yeah.
01:03:45.000 And they're canceling flights left and right, man.
01:03:47.000 So you had a political party willing to make federal employees hurt to prove a point.
01:03:53.000 Yeah.
01:03:54.000 They'll do it again January 30th because that's when it expires again.
01:03:58.000 Yep.
01:03:59.000 You want to explain to us?
01:04:00.000 Kind of tell them a little bit about the government shutdown, how that came in and what led to that?
01:04:05.000 Yeah.
01:04:07.000 Yeah, it's not a partisan explanation.
01:04:09.000 The federal government has a budget just like everybody should in some way, shape, or form, unless you make enough money.
01:04:09.000 It's very simple.
01:04:16.000 Anyways, so you have a budget for the federal government and they're so incompetent that these budgets only last for so long.
01:04:23.000 Yeah.
01:04:24.000 They always overspend.
01:04:25.000 So they can never agree on like a two-year budget.
01:04:25.000 Exactly.
01:04:28.000 They can't even agree on a one-year budget.
01:04:30.000 They can only agree at this point three, six months at a time.
01:04:35.000 So that's how it goes, bro.
01:04:37.000 It's crazy.
01:04:37.000 It's fascinating.
01:04:39.000 And they're literally debating.
01:04:42.000 I wish more Americans knew this.
01:04:44.000 Like, I don't think I know.
01:04:44.000 I don't think a lot of Americans know that like, bro, these dudes are meeting every three to six months trying to figure out a budget because they're just so inept in this.
01:04:51.000 So that's one part.
01:04:51.000 Right.
01:04:53.000 Then throw in the mix the fact that each side has their own like priorities they want to throw in there.
01:05:00.000 So when people were hearing about a clean CR, a continuing resolution, which is we are voting to continue the same level of spending.
01:05:11.000 That's what a continuing resolution is with the word clean in front.
01:05:17.000 And usually it doesn't happen that way.
01:05:19.000 Usually the party in charge, they'll throw something in there.
01:05:22.000 Like they actually did that.
01:05:23.000 When the Senate voted for it, they threw in these eight GOP senators who wanted to sue the federal government for being spied on during the Biden administration for $500,000.
01:05:37.000 Yeah, it's not going to happen, but I'm telling you, these people are corrupt.
01:05:41.000 Yeah.
01:05:42.000 And I know the big thing that the Democrats were pissed off that kind of led to this last shutdown is they weren't happy with the Big Beautiful bill.
01:05:49.000 And from what I understand, it was a Schumer was one of the main guys that was stonewalling it?
01:05:55.000 If we go back to 2022, the Biden administration passed a provision that would give health care to, in their language, is undocumented migrants.
01:06:05.000 Now, we already know what that means.
01:06:07.000 It's a free-for-all.
01:06:08.000 Okay.
01:06:09.000 One Big Beautiful bill comes around and strips that away.
01:06:12.000 Yep.
01:06:13.000 And increases immigration enforcement.
01:06:14.000 Right.
01:06:15.000 Which is why they put up a fight.
01:06:16.000 So the CR that caused the government shutdown was the existing spending that they voted on during the One Big Beautiful bill back in March.
01:06:27.000 And so that's why the Democrats were trying to get that back in there.
01:06:31.000 That was never going to work.
01:06:34.000 That's basically, let's just throw out the one big beautiful bill then if we're going to do that.
01:06:38.000 So Republicans aren't going to go for it.
01:06:41.000 Any rate, they tried that.
01:06:43.000 It didn't work.
01:06:44.000 And ultimately, it got to the point where eight Senate Democrats did the right thing, which is to get the government back open.
01:06:52.000 Let me just say the bottom line here.
01:06:54.000 The government should never be closed.
01:06:56.000 Yeah.
01:06:57.000 This is why I said Congress is the issue.
01:06:59.000 Why they haven't passed a piece of legislation that says if we can't agree on the CR, then it just stays in place.
01:07:06.000 No government shutdown.
01:07:08.000 Spending stays exactly where it is.
01:07:10.000 If we're going to agree, it's to agree to increase or decrease.
01:07:14.000 But what we're not going to do is hold innocent Americans who work for the federal government hostage.
01:07:19.000 Yep.
01:07:19.000 They don't get paid during that time.
01:07:20.000 Exactly.
01:07:21.000 And they still got to go to work if they're considered essential.
01:07:24.000 Because I remember in 2018, I was working for the government and we had a big shut.
01:07:27.000 That was actually at the time, the longest shutdown.
01:07:29.000 It's the second longest now, this last one.
01:07:32.000 And it lasted like a month.
01:07:34.000 And if you're an essential employee, like law enforcement, whatever, you still got to go to work, even if you're not getting paid.
01:07:40.000 Obviously, you get back pay when everything's all said and done, you get the back pay.
01:07:42.000 But that sucks because a lot of people don't know what they're going to do and how they're going to make money.
01:07:46.000 And bills still are coming.
01:07:47.000 You still got to pay all your bills.
01:07:48.000 Also, people take out credit cards because they can't pay that much.
01:07:51.000 So it's kind of like, you know, fuck them.
01:07:52.000 Yeah, you put them in a bad spot.
01:07:54.000 Household debt is at an all-time record high right now.
01:07:57.000 Car defaults.
01:07:57.000 Yeah.
01:07:58.000 Car repos.
01:07:59.000 All-time high.
01:07:59.000 Yep.
01:08:00.000 Highest ever, by the way.
01:08:01.000 Commercial real estate.
01:08:02.000 They actually estimate 3 million repos recorded and is here.
01:08:07.000 Highest ever in history.
01:08:08.000 3 million repos by the end of this year?
01:08:09.000 Yeah.
01:08:10.000 What is it normally in other years?
01:08:12.000 1.5.
01:08:13.000 Oh, so we're talking about doubling.
01:08:14.000 Double.
01:08:15.000 It's bad, bro.
01:08:16.000 So that's why Devore has been saying step one is what?
01:08:21.000 What's my thank you?
01:08:22.000 There you go.
01:08:23.000 That's my step right now.
01:08:23.000 Step two is financial literacy.
01:08:25.000 Get your money up.
01:08:27.000 So hopefully the federal employees learn a valuable lesson.
01:08:30.000 Yeah.
01:08:31.000 This is what happens.
01:08:33.000 We grow up being slaved to the government and salaries.
01:08:38.000 And I think it's a new economy.
01:08:41.000 I don't think people should be approaching the economy like we used to 50 years ago.
01:08:44.000 I don't think it's like get a nine to five, call it a day.
01:08:47.000 Yeah.
01:08:48.000 I think it's like you got to do both, nine to five and a little entrepreneurship.
01:08:52.000 Yeah.
01:08:53.000 On the side, make some extra money.
01:08:55.000 I mean, how else?
01:08:56.000 Yeah.
01:08:58.000 Yeah.
01:08:58.000 And with AI coming in, you know what I mean?
01:09:00.000 You got to constantly sharpen yourself and have other skill sets because other than that, it's going to be very difficult.
01:09:00.000 Exactly.
01:09:05.000 Exactly.
01:09:07.000 Here, let's, you want us to read some of these chats?
01:09:10.000 We got one.
01:09:11.000 Okay, we got one.
01:09:11.000 What time?
01:09:13.000 Okay.
01:09:13.000 That's 1025 now.
01:09:15.000 Hey, DeVore, thoughts on Jesse Lee Peterson from Mike Young.
01:09:20.000 I would say an OG.
01:09:22.000 One of the originals, actually.
01:09:24.000 Yeah, he was.
01:09:24.000 One of the originals.
01:09:25.000 Could you talk about it?
01:09:26.000 And you know what?
01:09:27.000 Hold on real quick.
01:09:28.000 He's actually you times 100.
01:09:31.000 He's funny.
01:09:31.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:09:32.000 I've seen a lot of his stuff.
01:09:33.000 He's been in the game for a while.
01:09:34.000 Jesse Lee Peterson.
01:09:35.000 Have you ever heard him talk to people?
01:09:37.000 Yeah.
01:09:38.000 Like he really, he purposely says certain things to really get that reaction.
01:09:42.000 But he's old, though.
01:09:43.000 I know, but I just watched one where he was debating a feminist and she was about to pass out.
01:09:51.000 He'd be trolling him, bro.
01:09:52.000 Yeah.
01:09:55.000 So go ahead.
01:09:56.000 Real quick.
01:09:57.000 Let's talk about relationships.
01:09:58.000 Yeah.
01:09:58.000 Right.
01:09:59.000 Yeah.
01:10:01.000 How old are you?
01:10:02.000 You said 37.
01:10:03.000 37.
01:10:04.000 How would you say a young man now could find a wife?
01:10:06.000 Because, bro, out here in the streets, there's nothing good.
01:10:09.000 It's a bunch of like, you know, grunts running around trying to outlive their level 100.
01:10:14.000 How do you actually navigate now?
01:10:16.000 Because obviously you've seen our show, you've seen after hours, how girls operate, and it's chaos.
01:10:21.000 How would a young man operate now to get a wife, you'd say?
01:10:23.000 How should he navigate?
01:10:24.000 say young med young man what age let's say between 25 and 30.
01:10:33.000 i would argue he shouldn't be looking for a wife during that time okay i would argue he shouldn't get a wife till he's 30 in his 30s bam good advice agreed my wife is nine years younger than me best decision ever best decision ever Not because I'm trying to control her and you know all this other nonsense that they say it's that she hasn't been poisoned by society yet at that age.
01:11:01.000 She still has an optimistic mindset.
01:11:04.000 Open-minded, willing to try things, go places, right?
01:11:08.000 You try to date someone in your 30s and they're 30, you're dealing with someone who, step one, probably didn't get their mindset right.
01:11:15.000 Trauma.
01:11:15.000 So they probably have issues.
01:11:18.000 And that means you're pretty much going to go to war every day.
01:11:22.000 How long have you guys been together?
01:11:24.000 Five years.
01:11:25.000 Yeah.
01:11:26.000 Nice.
01:11:26.000 Yeah.
01:11:26.000 Six.
01:11:27.000 Married for three.
01:11:30.000 And so my advice for men would be your 20s should be about developing yourself mentally, spiritually, physically, and gathering as many skills as you practically can.
01:11:45.000 So the only way that gets derailed is when you get caught up with women.
01:11:49.000 Yeah.
01:11:50.000 I say this all the time.
01:11:51.000 It's one of the biggest distractions for young men.
01:11:53.000 I say this all the time.
01:11:55.000 A turnoff for me as a business guy is when I'm dealing with a dude who's caught up with women all the time.
01:12:02.000 It's a distraction.
01:12:04.000 Right?
01:12:04.000 So when you have money to make, you have business to conduct, you're not trying to do business with someone who's like getting into a fight with some girl like five minutes earlier.
01:12:13.000 You're trying, hey, man, we got stuff to do.
01:12:15.000 Like, I'm not, I don't need that.
01:12:17.000 You know, that's just me.
01:12:18.000 I think a lot of people in the business world are that way.
01:12:21.000 That doesn't mean, you know, men who have options can't go out there and get women.
01:12:25.000 It's just that younger men who are not mature in that way, I think they need to develop their skills.
01:12:31.000 They need to be of service.
01:12:33.000 They need to get around high-value men as they practically can, men who are successful.
01:12:38.000 And then when they get to their 30s, when their finances are in order, because remember, men develop later in life than women.
01:12:45.000 So when I hear of a 21-year-old who's trying to, you know, get married, get married or whatever, I'm like, nah.
01:12:55.000 No.
01:12:55.000 No.
01:12:56.000 Unless, hold on, exception.
01:12:58.000 He has good parents.
01:12:59.000 Yeah.
01:13:00.000 There's always going to be exceptions.
01:13:01.000 But in general, yeah, getting married young nowadays is a guy is a very dangerous proposition.
01:13:05.000 Yeah.
01:13:05.000 You know, with feminism and everything else like that.
01:13:08.000 Exactly.
01:13:08.000 Yeah.
01:13:08.000 Exactly.
01:13:09.000 So you get to 30, credit's better, finances is better.
01:13:15.000 About time you probably figured out your career, whatever.
01:13:17.000 So you can financially take on that.
01:13:20.000 Yeah.
01:13:20.000 You know, it's not 50 years ago where you could get married at 18, get a job, and you're good.
01:13:27.000 Yep.
01:13:27.000 You can't do that today.
01:13:28.000 Times have changed.
01:13:29.000 Yep.
01:13:30.000 And again, I was just talking about this on my show.
01:13:33.000 An 18-year-old man today, compare him to an 18-year-old from 1960.
01:13:42.000 Big difference.
01:13:43.000 Big difference.
01:13:44.000 Big, big difference.
01:13:46.000 One is prepared for the world, the other is not.
01:13:48.000 Yep.
01:13:49.000 That's why I say inherently that he's got to wait till he's 30.
01:13:52.000 And the women, this is so fun.
01:13:55.000 I watched your guys' show, and I'm just, I'm laughing because I'm like, they don't understand.
01:14:01.000 If I was a woman and I was 19, like, I would be looking for someone 30.
01:14:06.000 Yeah.
01:14:07.000 Why would I waste my time with someone who's 20?
01:14:09.000 Yeah.
01:14:10.000 He could, like, he's probably living at home with his boys.
01:14:13.000 Like, that doesn't make any sense.
01:14:15.000 And so you're trying to place expectation on someone that he's not going to be able to meet that.
01:14:20.000 Yeah.
01:14:20.000 That doesn't make any sense.
01:14:21.000 There's a financial burden that comes with dealing with women.
01:14:24.000 Obviously, you know, day-to-day, of course, and then, of course, long term, that most people are not ready for.
01:14:31.000 And this is why, like, in business or corporate, people take you serious when you're married to somebody.
01:14:35.000 Right.
01:14:36.000 Because they know you can take care of a family and you're grounded in that sense.
01:14:39.000 That's a big part of promotion.
01:14:40.000 100%.
01:14:41.000 Now, nowadays, you're cheating on your wife at an event and you show up on the screen.
01:14:48.000 What's the guy's name?
01:14:49.000 The CEO dude.
01:14:50.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:14:52.000 At a fucking Cold Play concert.
01:14:54.000 There we go.
01:14:55.000 Bro, cooked.
01:14:56.000 It's already bad enough here at a Cold Play concert, but caught at a Cold Play concert.
01:14:59.000 Life.
01:15:00.000 And was it Cold Play or was it you two?
01:15:02.000 No, it was Cold Play.
01:15:03.000 It was Cold Coldplay.
01:15:04.000 Yeah.
01:15:04.000 Okay.
01:15:04.000 Go ahead.
01:15:05.000 One of these crappy bands from the early 2000s.
01:15:07.000 So as I progress, man, I will say this, though.
01:15:11.000 People on my own now are either with somebody long term where there's like this serious or they're married.
01:15:17.000 Yeah.
01:15:17.000 The whole running around doing the whole like Playboy stuff is played out, bro.
01:15:21.000 At least on my end.
01:15:23.000 Well, I think it falls into the category of living a materialistic life.
01:15:27.000 Sooner or later, it gets old.
01:15:29.000 You could buy all the cars, the clothes, the women, but that's what I said.
01:15:33.000 It goes back to purpose, right?
01:15:34.000 So I still believe in marriage, but only for the people who are mature enough for it.
01:15:41.000 You know?
01:15:43.000 Like, dude, I love being here, but like I love this more.
01:15:50.000 You know what I mean?
01:15:51.000 I love this more.
01:15:52.000 Yeah.
01:15:53.000 So like everywhere I go, I'm like, like when I was leaving the house, I was like, you know, because I'm going to miss my son.
01:16:00.000 Yeah.
01:16:01.000 You know, I'm going to miss my wife.
01:16:02.000 You know, so it, and it's an emotion you can't explain to people unless you have, unless they have kids.
01:16:08.000 And that's not to, you know, say someone's wrong for not having them.
01:16:11.000 It's just, you know, it's just you don't know until you, until you actually have it.
01:16:14.000 You'll never be able to, it's, you can't even describe it to someone that doesn't.
01:16:17.000 It's a different game, a different life.
01:16:19.000 And I find it, I look at it as more of a privilege to continue to work on myself because patience is the utmost challenge every day when you have kids.
01:16:29.000 And, you know, marriage-wise, I'm lucky.
01:16:32.000 I mean, she's great, man.
01:16:35.000 Yeah.
01:16:35.000 I never feel like I'm going to war with her.
01:16:37.000 Yeah.
01:16:38.000 You know, I feel like she's next to me.
01:16:40.000 That's one of the hardest things, man, especially in today's day and age, like finding a girl that's like, you know, going to add value and support you.
01:16:45.000 And, you know, it's tough nowadays, man.
01:16:49.000 She's encouraging you, which created YouTube.
01:16:53.000 That's huge, bro.
01:16:54.000 Yeah.
01:16:54.000 You know, and I was going to be successful regardless.
01:16:57.000 Regardless.
01:16:57.000 Yeah, regardless.
01:16:58.000 Because that's just who I am.
01:17:00.000 It was just only a matter of time, in my opinion.
01:17:02.000 That's just my belief system.
01:17:04.000 I just don't think you go through all that and you're not successful in the end.
01:17:08.000 I think God had a plan for me.
01:17:09.000 But at any rate, she was part of it.
01:17:11.000 The point being is that for people out there in this terrible dating market, because there's no question that it's like, it's like accelerating, man.
01:17:18.000 You know what I mean?
01:17:19.000 Like every day, it's like, man, this is 10 times worse than it was yesterday.
01:17:23.000 But Devor, you know who messed up though?
01:17:25.000 Who that really needs to shout out?
01:17:27.000 Our friend Akash.
01:17:29.000 Wrong wife.
01:17:31.000 And took the L, bro.
01:17:32.000 Oh, man.
01:17:33.000 It's a great example.
01:17:34.000 It's a great example.
01:17:37.000 My wife knows my biggest pet peeve ever.
01:17:41.000 If you talk about our marriage to anyone, that's already done.
01:17:46.000 Good point.
01:17:47.000 Yeah.
01:17:48.000 Because that is a sacred bond.
01:17:50.000 And we together should be able to figure whatever issues out together.
01:17:54.000 Unless, you know, you need some counseling with your personality.
01:17:56.000 No, that's so true.
01:17:57.000 Because let's say a girl hypothetically goes to her friends to complain about her husband, right?
01:18:01.000 Right.
01:18:02.000 You guys solve the issue behind the closed doors.
01:18:04.000 Your friend doesn't know that, though.
01:18:06.000 Yeah.
01:18:06.000 So in her mind, she's thinking you're still fighting with her, whatever.
01:18:10.000 And when she dispenses advice, she's dispensing advice from a position where, oh, he did this to you last time, not knowing that y'all dropped that a while ago.
01:18:18.000 So it not only morphs like your situation, but it morphs her mindset so that they're more toxic to think, oh, this guy's the worst thing ever.
01:18:26.000 When in reality, they don't know everything going on.
01:18:28.000 So I agree with you.
01:18:28.000 Like, you know, a woman sharing her marriage details or complaining about her husband to her friends, it's the worst thing you can do.
01:18:36.000 Yeah.
01:18:36.000 And here's the other thing.
01:18:37.000 They're only getting the bad.
01:18:38.000 They're never getting the good a lot of the times.
01:18:39.000 Right.
01:18:40.000 So this speaks to, I think, the problem you guys are attempting to solve, but only for people who are open-minded.
01:18:46.000 We've come to a point in, what is it, human existence where we literally don't understand each other at all.
01:18:54.000 Men don't understand women.
01:18:56.000 Women don't understand men.
01:18:57.000 So how are you going to be successful?
01:18:59.000 What is the art of war?
01:19:00.000 If I understand my enemy, but I don't understand myself, I'm still going to lose.
01:19:04.000 Right?
01:19:05.000 If I understand my enemy and I understand myself, I'm going to win a thousand battles.
01:19:10.000 These people don't understand each other.
01:19:11.000 No wonder they can't figure it out.
01:19:14.000 I guarantee you bring this woman on tonight.
01:19:16.000 The number one question is, hey, do you understand men?
01:19:19.000 No.
01:19:20.000 Do you understand what a successful relationship is?
01:19:23.000 No.
01:19:23.000 Do you even care?
01:19:24.000 No.
01:19:24.000 Yeah.
01:19:24.000 Do you even care?
01:19:25.000 Nope.
01:19:26.000 Oh, here's a better one.
01:19:27.000 Have you even learned what is required to have a successful relationship?
01:19:32.000 No.
01:19:33.000 But if I asked them, hey, do you know how to have a successful OnlyFans?
01:19:37.000 Yes.
01:19:39.000 So imagine if they applied that same level of energy, focus, and attention to what they're biologically designed to do, how successful they could be.
01:19:47.000 Do you know there's this common trend now on TikTok where they're saying having a man is an L?
01:19:52.000 Like women are saying, you know what?
01:19:53.000 You have a boyfriend?
01:19:54.000 That's you.
01:19:55.000 I'm like, wait a second.
01:19:56.000 Husband and boyfriend is helping you move forward in life, taking care of you is a bad thing.
01:20:00.000 And they're saying, it could be so much more fun if you were single.
01:20:03.000 And I'm like, hold on a second here.
01:20:04.000 It's just sister Uberales.
01:20:06.000 Now you go out with your girlfriend as a boyfriend.
01:20:08.000 Oh, you're lame.
01:20:09.000 You don't want to twerk to have fun.
01:20:10.000 You're not cool anymore.
01:20:12.000 So being single is a new mad enough for girls to have fun.
01:20:14.000 Yeah.
01:20:15.000 It is more propaganda to minimize men in this world.
01:20:21.000 And excuse me.
01:20:23.000 Feminism is a form of being a progressive, right, Myron?
01:20:27.000 Yeah, absolutely.
01:20:28.000 Excuse me.
01:20:29.000 Right?
01:20:29.000 I mean, that's literally what it is.
01:20:31.000 I think it's like the spearhead of all progressive movements.
01:20:33.000 It always started with feminism.
01:20:35.000 Right.
01:20:36.000 So if you're telling men that they're not good, which is why Democrats have lost men entirely, what do you expect men to do?
01:20:45.000 To disengage.
01:20:46.000 Yep.
01:20:47.000 They're not going to go where they're not welcomed.
01:20:47.000 Right?
01:20:50.000 It's fascinating.
01:20:50.000 Yeah.
01:20:52.000 It's again, there's a lot of common ground between men and women, but only for the men and women who want to see that.
01:20:59.000 You know what I mean?
01:20:59.000 Like, we're supposed to complement each other.
01:21:01.000 We're the opposite of the same coin.
01:21:03.000 Yeah.
01:21:04.000 But you got women today trying to dominate both sides of the coin.
01:21:07.000 That's not going to work.
01:21:09.000 Yeah.
01:21:10.000 Now, can a woman today, obviously, I think you were saying this the other day, Myron.
01:21:14.000 They're going to outpace men as far as finances are concerned.
01:21:17.000 Yeah, I foresee in the next 10 to 20 years, women are going to start earning more than men in general.
01:21:22.000 It's already starting in some cities across the U.S. Because they're graduating at a higher rate in college.
01:21:25.000 But I will say this, though.
01:21:26.000 They are earning men, but when they spend the money, they don't know how to properly invest it.
01:21:31.000 So they go by the house.
01:21:34.000 They overpay for and they get whacked later on.
01:21:36.000 They'll earn more, but they won't be in a better financial situation.
01:21:40.000 But see, here's the reality.
01:21:43.000 100 years from now, what is the chances any of us will be remembered?
01:21:49.000 Very few.
01:21:50.000 Slim.
01:21:51.000 Yeah.
01:21:51.000 Single digit, probably.
01:21:52.000 Yeah.
01:21:53.000 And then go 200 years.
01:21:55.000 Oh, yeah.
01:21:55.000 We're cooked.
01:21:57.000 Fresh and who?
01:21:57.000 So.
01:21:58.000 Exactly.
01:21:59.000 Devori who?
01:22:00.000 Devori who?
01:22:00.000 So why not?
01:22:03.000 Why not get back to your purpose, right?
01:22:06.000 Which is like, again, men are protectors, providers, leaders.
01:22:12.000 Women are the nurturers, the supporters, um, and balance out the equation.
01:22:18.000 We need to get back to that.
01:22:20.000 That's why we have low birth rates, super low, super low, high record of freezing eggs, high record of women being depressed.
01:22:30.000 I think the number clinically, not I think she is depressed, clinically depressed, over 30%.
01:22:37.000 Highest thing, highest in history.
01:22:39.000 30% of women are clinically depressed.
01:22:41.000 Clinically depressed.
01:22:43.000 Holy!
01:22:44.000 Amen.
01:22:45.000 That's that's a we don't miss.
01:22:46.000 I want to get that stat.
01:22:47.000 I'll use that one to accept.
01:22:48.000 We don't miss.
01:22:49.000 So if feminism was the solution, why does the results say the opposite?
01:22:54.000 Yeah.
01:22:55.000 Yeah, they're more free now than ever before.
01:22:57.000 It should be the golden age for them, right?
01:22:58.000 That's what I said.
01:22:59.000 In order to get something, you have to give something up.
01:23:01.000 So women wanted more freedom, but what did they give up?
01:23:04.000 Their happiness.
01:23:05.000 Happiness.
01:23:06.000 Their sense of purpose.
01:23:08.000 Yeah.
01:23:09.000 I mean, even men understand this.
01:23:11.000 We can make a lot of money.
01:23:13.000 But if I don't feel like I have a purpose, like, hey, I'm providing, I'm paying other people's lifestyle, right?
01:23:19.000 Or livelihood.
01:23:20.000 I'm paying for other families, my boys, you know, whatever.
01:23:24.000 Like, you want to feel like you're doing something to advance human civilization.
01:23:31.000 You need to be useful.
01:23:32.000 Their guys need to feel that feeling of like I'm useful to people.
01:23:35.000 Exactly.
01:23:36.000 What is the return on investment with feminism?
01:23:38.000 What is the return on investment with OnlyFans?
01:23:40.000 There is none.
01:23:42.000 Now, I'll tell you what the return on investment is.
01:23:44.000 The people who own it.
01:23:45.000 Yeah.
01:23:46.000 They love it.
01:23:48.000 Yeah.
01:23:49.000 Yeah.
01:23:49.000 No?
01:23:50.000 No, they definitely love it.
01:23:51.000 Now, here you go.
01:23:51.000 Okay.
01:23:52.000 Send that money to Israel after.
01:23:53.000 Who owns it?
01:23:54.000 Oh, we know.
01:23:55.000 Lou, he's one of them boys.
01:23:57.000 Yeah.
01:23:58.000 Yeah.
01:23:58.000 On YouTube, so I won't go too crazy, but yeah, he's a big donor for the IDF too.
01:24:01.000 Okay, there you go.
01:24:02.000 That's big tech.
01:24:02.000 That guy.
01:24:04.000 No, but he's from what's his race?
01:24:08.000 He's Jewish.
01:24:10.000 Is he?
01:24:10.000 Yeah.
01:24:11.000 I thought it was an Indian who owned it.
01:24:12.000 Oh, OnlyFans.
01:24:13.000 No, YouTube.
01:24:14.000 Neil.
01:24:14.000 Oh, he's on my YouTube or OnlyFans.
01:24:16.000 OnlyFans.
01:24:16.000 Oh, OnlyFans.
01:24:17.000 Yeah, it's with Dallas Gears.
01:24:19.000 We could pull him up.
01:24:20.000 He's a Jewish dude.
01:24:20.000 I think he's maybe Bush.
01:24:21.000 I think my YouTube.
01:24:22.000 YouTube is Neil Marshall.
01:24:24.000 Or is it Pornhub that's owned by...
01:24:26.000 Oh, that's owned by Rabbi, too.
01:24:28.000 Okay.
01:24:29.000 All right.
01:24:30.000 Every single time.
01:24:32.000 Well, the point still remains, guys.
01:24:34.000 They're making the money and, you know.
01:24:34.000 Yeah.
01:24:37.000 They're taking L. While civilization is being eroded right in front of our eyes.
01:24:43.000 Yeah, that's probably one of the biggest, one of the most pernicious things in society that's like completely legal and totally available everywhere.
01:24:52.000 That creates a lot of problems.
01:24:53.000 Like so many guys are addicted to corn.
01:24:54.000 It's nuts.
01:24:58.000 You know what's scary about society nowadays?
01:24:58.000 Okay.
01:25:00.000 Because I'm outside pretty often.
01:25:02.000 You know.
01:25:04.000 You know what I see?
01:25:05.000 What?
01:25:05.000 I see people that are so caught up in being happy in the moment, they forget long-term what's important.
01:25:12.000 And because I'm sober, right?
01:25:13.000 When I go out, I see people drunk on drugs.
01:25:16.000 By the way, girls are now interested in this thing called Tussie, this pink thing.
01:25:19.000 Oh, man.
01:25:20.000 What is that?
01:25:20.000 Every single day.
01:25:21.000 It's like a mix between the white stuff and ketamine and something else.
01:25:28.000 I don't know.
01:25:29.000 But I promise you, every girl's like, you have Tussie?
01:25:32.000 Like, nigga, what the fuck is that?
01:25:33.000 What kind of shit?
01:25:34.000 But that's going through it.
01:25:35.000 So they have alcohol.
01:25:37.000 They have drugs.
01:25:38.000 And then you know what they do instead of like working on themselves and doing better.
01:25:42.000 They say, well, if I get, if I do my work Monday to Friday and I just party on the weekends, everything will be okay.
01:25:49.000 And then they go to festivals, the EDC, Orlando, whatever.
01:25:52.000 The point is, they want to stay distracted and sedated by these works of life.
01:25:57.000 And my thing is that, okay, if this is your plan, what's the future?
01:26:01.000 Right.
01:26:02.000 So this whole cycle is going on this path of like nothingness.
01:26:06.000 And it's scary.
01:26:07.000 So I see, I believe it's the devil.
01:26:09.000 Okay.
01:26:09.000 Yeah.
01:26:10.000 It starts at a young age.
01:26:11.000 That's so.
01:26:11.000 So if I was the devil, what would I do?
01:26:14.000 I would target the children first because if I can get the negative ideas in the mind of a child first, they're cooked.
01:26:21.000 So porn is a part of corn.
01:26:23.000 Corn is a part of it, right?
01:26:26.000 But also I'm going to target the teachers, the educators, the leaders to continue the confusing ideas that are being placed in their minds.
01:26:36.000 Cartoons as well.
01:26:37.000 Cartoons.
01:26:38.000 TV.
01:26:38.000 Hollywood.
01:26:41.000 I think the results have shown that this stuff doesn't work.
01:26:45.000 Okay.
01:26:46.000 And if it worked, then Hollywood would be making more money and they're not.
01:26:50.000 They're losing money.
01:26:51.000 If it worked, kids would be able to read at a higher grade level.
01:26:55.000 They're not.
01:26:56.000 They're more trying to figure out what their gender is than understanding how to read.
01:27:01.000 Yeah.
01:27:02.000 You know?
01:27:03.000 So this is the stuff that triggers me the most.
01:27:08.000 So like, let's take the city of Chicago.
01:27:11.000 The Chicago public schools was just caught spending like $6 million on luxury vacations, hotels, massages with COVID money.
01:27:24.000 I thought they were supposed to be educating our youth.
01:27:27.000 Massages is crazy.
01:27:29.000 What the fuck?
01:27:30.000 So, but see, this is what gets me going for the people who call me a coon.
01:27:34.000 You should be calling these educators a coon.
01:27:36.000 They're selling out young black children with subpar education.
01:27:42.000 But then you turn around and want to blame President Trump.
01:27:45.000 That makes no sense.
01:27:47.000 It's not President Trump who got them into a luxury hotel getting massages.
01:27:52.000 That's black people in charge of the education system, including the mayor, doing that.
01:27:58.000 And then you wonder why kids are growing up confused.
01:28:00.000 And that's what it goes back to what you're saying before.
01:28:02.000 Getting involved in your local government is very important.
01:28:05.000 Exactly.
01:28:05.000 Because they actually, they influence your day-to-day significantly.
01:28:09.000 Yeah.
01:28:10.000 Yeah.
01:28:10.000 So again, the problems are right here in front of us.
01:28:14.000 Now, I'm not a doomer.
01:28:15.000 I like solutions.
01:28:16.000 So solution is, I think homeschooling is great.
01:28:19.000 Private school is great.
01:28:21.000 Homeschooling is like the only way nowadays, dude.
01:28:23.000 Yeah.
01:28:23.000 The more I see what's going on, I'm like, man, you got to homeschool.
01:28:26.000 Oh, so we need to bring church back.
01:28:28.000 Rural church.
01:28:28.000 Because this church nowadays is like polluted, bro, with government agendas and gay and gay rights.
01:28:33.000 It's like crazy.
01:28:34.000 I just read something that they said Islam is becoming much more sought out or sought after because Christianity has become weak.
01:28:43.000 They're not very firm in their values.
01:28:45.000 Yeah.
01:28:45.000 Right.
01:28:46.000 So a lot of people will call me a bigot because I remember people got mad at me one time when I was like, yeah, I don't believe in gay marriage at all.
01:28:55.000 Well, why?
01:28:55.000 Because I'm a Christian.
01:28:57.000 Christians don't believe in that.
01:28:59.000 You know, that doesn't mean I hate you.
01:29:01.000 That's the problem with this country.
01:29:02.000 As soon as you say, I don't agree with something, oh, you're racist.
01:29:05.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:29:05.000 They're going to call you.
01:29:07.000 They don't want to contend with your argument.
01:29:09.000 They just say, they just call you a name and keep pushing.
01:29:11.000 Can we just disagree?
01:29:12.000 It's okay.
01:29:14.000 But yeah, the Christian church has definitely taken a blow in so many ways.
01:29:20.000 And that's why I love my, I'm a part of this Bible study group with men.
01:29:26.000 And we always tell each other, like, ultimately, it's about your relationship with God, not necessarily the church.
01:29:35.000 The church is just a tool that you can use.
01:29:38.000 But ultimately, God knows what you're doing.
01:29:39.000 Are you Protestant?
01:29:40.000 Like, what is your non-denominational?
01:29:43.000 I grew up Baptist.
01:29:44.000 Baptist?
01:29:44.000 Okay.
01:29:45.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:29:45.000 So firm believer in Proverbs 23, 7, you know, as he thinking in his heart, so is he.
01:29:51.000 You know, only God knows what's in your heart.
01:29:54.000 And so that's why every single day you should be doing something of service to this world because God has already given us the talents.
01:30:03.000 And I like I'm in agreement with you.
01:30:05.000 We need to, you know, listen, I'm not a believer in trying to tell people what to believe.
01:30:10.000 You know, they don't need to be Christian.
01:30:11.000 They can believe whatever they want, okay?
01:30:13.000 I do believe in Christianity, and I do believe as a country, we were founded on those values, and I think we need to get back to that.
01:30:19.000 Yeah, good point.
01:30:20.000 Yeah, um, real quick, you saw Blair White.
01:30:24.000 She says, Yes, I'm T.
01:30:26.000 Yes, I'm a Christian, bro.
01:30:28.000 Oh, yeah, tattoos don't make any sense, bro.
01:30:30.000 Yeah, I don't know.
01:30:31.000 Like, you watch any of them.
01:30:33.000 Doesn't make sense.
01:30:34.000 Yeah, so this is the part of the conservative movement that I think is dicey.
01:30:41.000 We become a big tent party, right?
01:30:44.000 As far as politics are concerned, in order to win.
01:30:47.000 Makes total sense.
01:30:49.000 But that doesn't mean we still need to act like we support that stuff.
01:30:53.000 Yep.
01:30:53.000 You know, so I'm not taking away from whatever accomplishments Blair White has had, but I definitely don't support that lifestyle.
01:31:03.000 Yeah.
01:31:03.000 You know, and it goes back to my son.
01:31:06.000 He's going to turn two in what is today, November.
01:31:10.000 So in like 20 days, I don't need him hanging around with people who are gay.
01:31:16.000 Yeah.
01:31:16.000 I don't need him hanging around with people who are confused about their gender because that's how it starts.
01:31:21.000 Yeah.
01:31:21.000 Yeah.
01:31:22.000 Let me just make this point and we can move on.
01:31:25.000 So how many languages do you speak?
01:31:28.000 Two.
01:31:29.000 Oh, you speak two?
01:31:30.000 Yeah.
01:31:30.000 And how about you?
01:31:31.000 Just one?
01:31:31.000 I speak two.
01:31:33.000 Really?
01:31:33.000 English?
01:31:35.000 Real Niganese.
01:31:36.000 I knew he was going to say that.
01:31:38.000 I knew he was going to say that.
01:31:39.000 Okay.
01:31:42.000 Okay.
01:31:43.000 If you were outside in public right now and someone was speaking Ukrainian, would you know?
01:31:51.000 No.
01:31:52.000 No.
01:31:52.000 Why?
01:31:52.000 No.
01:31:53.000 You would know Slavic, maybe, but you wouldn't know exactly what it is.
01:31:56.000 Because you were never exposed to that.
01:31:58.000 Yeah.
01:32:00.000 We only eat, dress, think, speak what we've been exposed to as Americans.
01:32:08.000 Good point.
01:32:09.000 If you took Myron when he was one years old and stuck him in Beijing, China, he'd be fluent in Mandarin right now.
01:32:17.000 Yep.
01:32:19.000 Right?
01:32:19.000 Product of his environment.
01:32:21.000 So my point to all of this is that we need to be very conservative with the environment that we are allowing children to be exposed to.
01:32:29.000 They're not old enough to reason.
01:32:31.000 That's one of your mental faculties.
01:32:33.000 Reason.
01:32:33.000 Do I agree with this or do I disagree with this?
01:32:35.000 Is this true or false?
01:32:36.000 They can't probably discern what they're seeing.
01:32:38.000 Exactly.
01:32:39.000 They can't do that until they get older.
01:32:41.000 So don't do that to them.
01:32:43.000 Give them a fighting chance.
01:32:44.000 If they want to be trans and all this other stuff, they can wait till they're 18 years old to do that.
01:32:48.000 Yep.
01:32:48.000 You know?
01:32:49.000 And that, see, that's why politics has become a part of every day.
01:32:53.000 You can't go anywhere without talking about it.
01:32:54.000 Because these people fell so they fell asleep at the will.
01:32:57.000 They allowed politics to start messing with children.
01:33:00.000 Yeah.
01:33:01.000 And that's why more parents are involved now.
01:33:04.000 More people are involved in politics than ever is because they stopped doing what they were supposed to be doing on Capitol Hill.
01:33:11.000 So, no, especially commie California.
01:33:13.000 Yeah.
01:33:14.000 No, I agree with you that you, you know, it's not, we're not saying these things because we hate a group of people.
01:33:20.000 It's about let's give the kids a fair shot where they're playing on an even playing field where they're not being exposed to ideologies or ideas that can be a permanent solution to a very temporary situation.
01:33:33.000 Right.
01:33:33.000 You know, so you can read some chats here and then we'll close out.
01:33:37.000 And we're going to have Dvore on with some girls as well.
01:33:39.000 It's going to be a good time.
01:33:40.000 Anything else or no?
01:33:42.000 Two?
01:33:42.000 All right.
01:33:43.000 We'll read these, then we'll get out of here.
01:33:45.000 And then we'll be back, guys, probably in about 20 minutes or so.
01:33:49.000 Quick little break, then we'll switch.
01:33:50.000 All right, Idris Raheem says, I appreciate W.F.W. Myron.
01:33:54.000 We'll definitely get a second job and take the most out of the networking.
01:33:57.000 Good stuff, bro.
01:33:58.000 Absolutely.
01:33:59.000 Shout out to you.
01:33:59.000 By the way, guys, one connection continues your entire life.
01:34:03.000 He says, Mikey Young says, thoughts on Leonardo Joni for you.
01:34:07.000 I don't know who that is.
01:34:08.000 Me either.
01:34:09.000 Who is that?
01:34:11.000 She's a female comedian.
01:34:12.000 She's cool.
01:34:13.000 Was she the one that was recently on the Hodge Twins podcast?
01:34:20.000 I don't know if she was on there.
01:34:21.000 I don't know who did it.
01:34:22.000 Recently.
01:34:23.000 I don't know.
01:34:24.000 Is she bad?
01:34:26.000 I'm going to look her up.
01:34:27.000 Never mind.
01:34:29.000 This guy.
01:34:30.000 All right.
01:34:31.000 So, guys, we'll be back in about 20 minutes.
01:34:34.000 We'll be back with some lovely ladies in Devore.
01:34:36.000 We'll catch you guys back here.
01:34:38.000 We'll be live on all platforms.
01:34:39.000 Love you guys.
01:34:39.000 Peace.
01:34:40.000 And I ran, I ran so far away.
