00:04:15.000 Andrew, welcome and thank you for your submission.

00:04:17.000 Legal Mindset.

00:04:20.000 We've known you for a very long time.

00:04:21.000 You were here from the beginning.

00:04:22.000 It's good to be back after two years.

00:04:24.000 It's like I started in the Camry and I'm rolling up into the spaceship.

00:04:28.000 I was going to say real You guys have had a huge come-up.

00:04:31.000 Studio looks amazing.

00:04:33.000 Last time I was in the old studio when I came back, this is the first time I've been back in the U.S. in two years.

00:04:38.000 And of course, I've got to stop by and see my friends.

00:04:41.000 You guys literally, Myron and Walt, I knew you in the beginning.

00:04:45.000 I knew you wanted to come up.

00:04:46.000 And it's been awesome to see your success and celebrate that.

00:04:50.000 You've been here from the beginning.

00:04:50.000 Chris, too!

00:04:51.000 Thank you, Andrew.

00:04:52.000 This is my tallest white friend.

00:04:53.000 Yeah.

00:04:54.000 Literally.

00:04:54.000 Andrew has literally been here with us since the beginning.

00:04:57.000 As soon as he told me, oh yeah, I'm in town, I was like, bro, pull up. 0.99

00:04:59.000 What the fuck? 0.99

00:05:00.000 Let's do a show. 1.00

00:05:01.000 Yeah.

00:05:01.000 Right?

00:05:02.000 And that's why...

00:05:03.000 We went on the town one night.

00:05:05.000 Yeah, Myron used to do night game with me.

00:05:06.000 That's how I started.

00:05:06.000 I said, Myron used to go out, and I can testify personally.

00:05:10.000 When we were going out to Sugar, we were going out to Blackbird, and Myron was doing 100 opens a night, 75 opens a night.

00:05:17.000 Even when he was blackout drunk, he was opening and number closing.

00:05:20.000 And I'm like, this man is a god.

00:05:22.000 If anyone knows...

00:05:23.000 Drunk Fun Myron, it's me.

00:05:27.000 Way back in the day.

00:05:29.000 These two drunk niggas drunk together? 1.00

00:05:31.000 It's chaos. 1.00

00:05:35.000 I was like, what the fuck is going on here, bro? 1.00

00:05:37.000 Like, fat boys, man. 1.00

00:05:38.000 Yeah, let's go, man! 0.97

00:05:40.000 That's great.

00:05:41.000 Oh, man.

00:05:42.000 So, Andrew, what's new with you, man?

00:05:45.000 Obviously, I have a very successful channel going on right now.

00:05:47.000 Yeah, my channel's blown up.

00:05:48.000 I mean, since I've left, I mean, you guys, you know, after I left, I hit the Rittenhouse case.

00:05:53.000 I hit the Amber Heard case.

00:05:55.000 Now I'm covering some crazy stuff.

00:05:57.000 I was covering Disney.

00:05:58.000 Let's go over the channel real quick. 0.93

00:05:59.000 Disney was a big thing with their lawsuits, fighting the state of Florida, all that bullshit, all their lies, all their media propaganda, which you guys know all about the media propaganda. 0.95

00:06:09.000 100%.

00:06:10.000 Then I've covered VTubing, which is crazy because anime VTubing has taken over as Hollywood crashes.

00:06:16.000 And now, unfortunately, I'm having to cover the case of...

00:06:20.000 Reketa Law.

00:06:20.000 Reketa Law, who is kind of the founder of the LawTube genre on YouTube.

00:06:25.000 He kind of created that, but unfortunately now he's got some charges against him, so that's been something I had to cover, unfortunately, recently.

00:06:33.000 I don't enjoy it, but we cover things objectively, and that's what I always try to do on my channel, and that's why I like working with you, and I've collabed with you on FedIt as well, to give an objective coverage, try to focus on facts, focus on the law, which is what I try to do on my channel, Legal Mindset, We're almost at $150K on YouTube.

00:06:50.000 Go subscribe, guys, if you haven't already.

00:06:51.000 I've also got a Locals, right, which is 7,000 strong.

00:06:56.000 So shout out to you guys for supporting Locals.

00:06:57.000 Appreciate those.

00:06:58.000 And a rumble!

00:06:59.000 Legal Mindset on Rumble as well. 0.96

00:07:01.000 You guys can check out all of that.

00:07:03.000 Everybody got a Rumble too, man, because you never know, bro.

00:07:06.000 That's why I got it.

00:07:07.000 I got it during the pandemic when they gave me that first warning for talking about the Juicy Juice, the jab, right?

00:07:13.000 And they gave me that first warning, and that's when I got Rumble because I said, I got to start building this.

00:07:17.000 I got to start popping it off, and it's been great.

00:07:20.000 I still get that, you know, editors pick sometimes and pop up there.

00:07:23.000 Today we had a great audience, about 2,000 people on Rumble, 9,000 people listening on YouTube.

00:07:28.000 Let's go!

00:07:30.000 It's a great audience.

00:07:31.000 It's a great thing, but I'm glad to be here and come back and talk about becoming a lawyer.

00:07:39.000 It's a Money Monday, so I'm like, let's give the guy some value because some people might want to become a lawyer.

00:07:44.000 What would be your advice to anyone in here that wants to become a lawyer, go down this path?

00:07:49.000 Should they do it?

00:07:50.000 Should they not do it?

00:07:51.000 Should they look at a certain...

00:07:52.000 Discipline to get into.

00:07:54.000 I'll just turn it to you. 0.98

00:07:55.000 Number one, make sure you actually want to fucking do it. 0.99

00:07:58.000 Because being a lawyer is not like an episode of Suits. 0.99

00:08:02.000 It's not CSI. It's not Franklin and Bash.

00:08:06.000 It's definitely not Legally Blonde. 0.99

00:08:08.000 Right? 0.99

00:08:08.000 That's really bullshit. 0.99

00:08:09.000 Well, most lawyers now are women. 1.00

00:08:11.000 Most of the people graduating are women out of law school.

00:08:13.000 So, you know, they think it's going to be one thing, but the thing is, they are sorely disappointed because the actual practice of law, you know, for example, people will think it's court.

00:08:24.000 99.9% of lawyers do not go to court, even litigators.

00:08:27.000 They settle.

00:08:28.000 They do motion practice.

00:08:29.000 They're not in there doing trials all the time.

00:08:32.000 Some are, but it's a very small portion of lawyers.

00:08:35.000 I did corporate and real estate.

00:08:36.000 So we're saying only 1% are actually going into courtrooms and arguing?

00:08:40.000 Very rare, very small sliver.

00:08:42.000 You've got people doing research, you've got people doing writing, you've got people negotiating, you've got people doing property.

00:08:49.000 Me working with Fortune 500 companies, working with people who are trying to get stuff done. 0.99

00:08:53.000 And if I go to court, I've fucked up. 0.91

00:08:56.000 I've actually fucked up because I'm not representing my client correctly because the point is to keep them out of court. 0.96

00:09:01.000 So I'm worried, what if I need a lawyer unless they go to court but they've never actually been in court? 0.97

00:09:07.000 I would never get a lawyer that has not gone to court for the specific thing you want to go for.

00:09:12.000 So let's say you're on a criminal charge.

00:09:14.000 Let's say you're on a pot charge, right?

00:09:16.000 Which, I don't know, those even exist anymore?

00:09:18.000 You know, whatever.

00:09:19.000 But let's pretend you're there on a pot charge, right?

00:09:21.000 Feds, yeah.

00:09:22.000 And nobody has ever, and this guy, this lawyer, he's done dog bites.

00:09:26.000 I'm not hiring that guy.

00:09:27.000 I'm hiring the dog bite guy.

00:09:29.000 And we all have specialties.

00:09:30.000 No lawyer is a jack-of-all-trades.

00:09:31.000 But what I learned is to be humble enough to say, this guy's the expert.

00:09:35.000 I'm going to rely on this guy.

00:09:36.000 And we have lawyers on YouTube.

00:09:38.000 They've specialized.

00:09:39.000 I've got a good friend who I brought into the LawTube game in Korea.

00:09:43.000 He specializes in maritime law.

00:09:46.000 Bro, it's crazy.

00:09:47.000 So we got immigration law people.

00:09:48.000 We got this and that.

00:09:49.000 So you gotta focus on people who know it and pick those people.

00:09:52.000 So starting out, do you wanna do it?

00:09:54.000 How do you know that?

00:09:55.000 Go find an actual lawyer who is something you wanna be and look at what they're doing.

00:10:01.000 Sit through their office.

00:10:03.000 Say, hey, can I sit in?

00:10:04.000 Can I just watch you for a day, see what you do?

00:10:06.000 Because you may watch what a lawyer does and realize they're at their computer, they're on the phone, they're writing, they're doing research. 1.00

00:10:11.000 I don't wanna do this shit. 0.99

00:10:12.000 You know, I want to go out there and I want to be talking to people. 0.99

00:10:15.000 I want to be interacting.

00:10:16.000 I want to be negotiating.

00:10:17.000 There's probably better jobs for you.

00:10:18.000 If you want to be super extroverted, maybe you're better at doing marketing.

00:10:22.000 Maybe you're better at doing sales.

00:10:23.000 Maybe you're better at supporting lawyers.

00:10:25.000 Right?

00:10:25.000 Maybe you're better at, you like AI. Bro, AI is gonna change the field of lawyering.

00:10:31.000 It's gonna make it so they can do research and writing so much quicker.

00:10:35.000 Maybe that's what you wanna do.

00:10:36.000 Maybe you're the legal AI guy.

00:10:37.000 So check out and make sure you wanna do it.

00:10:39.000 And how you do that is you begin with the end in mind.

00:10:43.000 So whatever position you wanna get in, let's say you wanna do international arbitration, right?

00:10:50.000 You go find that guy, go find the good lawyer that does that position and look at him and see how he became successful.

00:10:56.000 Andrew, let's say I've picked the niche I want to go into as a lawyer.

00:11:01.000 How long is schooling, roughly?

00:11:03.000 Niche is very important.

00:11:05.000 So assuming your niche is a regular niche and it's not something like tax or something weird you need an extra certificate in, it's about seven years.

00:11:13.000 Seven years?

00:11:13.000 That's a minimum.

00:11:14.000 That's a minimum. 1.00

00:11:15.000 My dumb ass was in here for nine years. 1.00

00:11:17.000 This is undergrad and law school combined, right? 1.00

00:11:20.000 Combined.

00:11:20.000 In the United States, we're talking about Americans now.

00:11:22.000 For those out there that are international, hola, como estas?

00:11:26.000 We've got a lot of countries which allow you to do law school after four years because it's essentially an undergrad degree. 0.97

00:11:31.000 That's a lot of other countries that are not America, but we're talking about America here, damn it. 0.99

00:11:35.000 Due process, the Constitution, we fucking love it. 0.99

00:11:39.000 So, in America, it is four years of undergrad and three years of law school. 0.92

00:11:42.000 Does it matter what you do in undergrad?

00:11:45.000 No, it doesn't. 0.99

00:11:46.000 It doesn't fucking matter. 0.99

00:11:47.000 It doesn't fucking matter. 0.99

00:11:49.000 It never does. 0.98

00:11:49.000 All that matters is the LSAT. That's what matters to get into school. 0.98

00:11:53.000 Now, are there certain majors that challenge you, that push you so you do better?

00:11:57.000 Stuff like math, you know, STEM stuff.

00:12:00.000 Yeah, you'll do great.

00:12:01.000 You'll do great as a lawyer.

00:12:02.000 Also, if you do STEM, You'll have the ability to sign up for the patent bar.

00:12:06.000 So the patent bar is people who do patents.

00:12:08.000 And you can't do that unless you're in a hard science or some sort of science.

00:12:12.000 So that's a good suggestion if you're interested in patents and stuff like that.

00:12:15.000 So you might want to consider that.

00:12:17.000 But other than that, the biggest thing is study for that LSAT, which is my second piece of information. 0.98

00:12:22.000 Take that fucking LSAT as many times as you need to get a good score to get in the school that you've chosen. 0.98

00:12:28.000 So I took it twice. 1.00

00:12:30.000 Once I was drunk and just YOLO-ing it.

00:12:32.000 I'm not going to lie. 1.00

00:12:33.000 I'm like, I got this shit! 1.00

00:12:36.000 Lawyering ain't no big deal! 1.00

00:12:37.000 And I took it and I did dog shit. 0.99

00:12:41.000 Then I went and studied and I did fantastic. 1.00

00:12:43.000 It's mostly logical reasoning, right?

00:12:45.000 If I'm not mistaken?

00:12:46.000 Yeah, it's logical reasoning, logic games, but a lot of it is it's learnable.

00:12:52.000 So you can take time to study it and you can learn it.

00:12:54.000 You can actually learn it.

00:12:55.000 And you'll do noticeably better if you study.

00:12:57.000 So you take that and get a better score and you look at the school.

00:13:00.000 Now as for the school, what do you got to look at?

00:13:03.000 Alumni network.

00:13:04.000 And the people.

00:13:05.000 So once again, begin with the end in mind.

00:13:08.000 So you're looking at that person you want to be.

00:13:09.000 You're like, this is my senpai.

00:13:12.000 This is the guy I want to be.

00:13:13.000 This is the person I'm trying to be.

00:13:15.000 What school did he go to?

00:13:17.000 Because guess what?

00:13:18.000 When you come up, what's the easiest thing to say?

00:13:20.000 Oh, I'm an alumni of this school.

00:13:22.000 I went there too.

00:13:23.000 That's the easiest and easiest way to start a conversation.

00:13:27.000 And also those people will want to be loyal to this school.

00:13:29.000 They'll say, hey, I want to be loyal to that school.

00:13:31.000 So for law school, it does matter.

00:13:32.000 If you're out here going to University of North Dakota and you're trying to roll into Miami, Nobody's gonna like that, right?

00:13:41.000 I went to the University of Florida.

00:13:42.000 I'm a Gator.

00:13:42.000 So, you know, Florida is...

00:13:44.000 Yeah, there you go.

00:13:45.000 I got the chop, right?

00:13:46.000 You know?

00:13:47.000 I see you over there, Mo.

00:13:49.000 But I'm good at Florida, right?

00:13:50.000 But if I go out to New York, they're gonna be like, uh, you know, maybe not.

00:13:53.000 LA? Uh, maybe not.

00:13:55.000 Right? 0.98

00:13:55.000 Of course, why the fuck would I go to New York and LA? All those people are coming here to Miami, you know? 0.98

00:13:59.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:14:01.000 By the way, there's a lot of those guys here now.

00:14:03.000 It's really changed over the last two or three years.

00:14:05.000 It's gotten crazy, bro.

00:14:06.000 It was good when we were here at the beginning, you know?

00:14:09.000 I remember that.

00:14:09.000 It was good.

00:14:10.000 We were here at the forefront of Miami before it was crazy.

00:14:14.000 My old apartment in Brickell went up 75% when I was there.

00:14:18.000 What are they charging now?

00:14:21.000 I was at 2.2.

00:14:24.000 It's like 3.8.

00:14:25.000 Wow!

00:14:27.000 Yeah.

00:14:28.000 So it is crazy.

00:14:29.000 It's crazy.

00:14:30.000 Yeah.

00:14:31.000 You know, and I was like telling them, I live in Bangkok now.

00:14:34.000 I spent a lot of time in Korea, in Japan, in Philippines.

00:14:37.000 But I mean, I was like, I've got two apartments for less than half.

00:14:41.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:14:41.000 It's like, that's no problem, bro.

00:14:43.000 Smart guy.

00:14:44.000 Yeah, it's no problem.

00:14:45.000 Yeah.

00:14:46.000 Were you trying to say something?

00:14:48.000 Yeah.

00:14:48.000 So real quick, Andrew.

00:14:49.000 So, okay, listen.

00:14:51.000 I picked my niche or I picked my field for a lawyer.

00:14:54.000 I realized it's seven years now I got to wait, basically, for this to finish.

00:14:59.000 How do I get a job?

00:15:01.000 At the seven-year mark.

00:15:02.000 Okay, so at a job, here's the thing.

00:15:04.000 Well, that comes back to the LSAT and getting into the law school first, right?

00:15:09.000 And also making the connections while you're in law school and even before law school.

00:15:12.000 Because if you're able to make connections, let's face it, guys, connections are what's up.

00:15:16.000 That's why you guys have a community.

00:15:17.000 You guys have a community because making those connections is power, right?

00:15:21.000 Making those connections is important.

00:15:23.000 If you can say, hey, I know Myron.

00:15:26.000 You know, I know this lawyer.

00:15:27.000 And you make that introduction.

00:15:29.000 That's important, right?

00:15:30.000 You're able to actually get in on the ground floor.

00:15:32.000 So if you're able to make those connections during law school, do that.

00:15:35.000 Internships.

00:15:35.000 And that's why the law school you go to, and I want you to correct me if I'm wrong here.

00:15:41.000 I've been told where you go to law school matters than how you do in law school.

00:15:45.000 That's 100% true.

00:15:47.000 Okay.

00:15:47.000 100%.

00:15:48.000 Yeah.

00:15:49.000 Because at the end of the day, there's a reason why, because people say, oh, I went to Harvard, I went to Yale, I went to Princeton, I went to these Ivy League, Cornell, right?

00:15:56.000 What, seven Ivy League schools, UPenn, et cetera.

00:15:58.000 It's not that the schools are necessarily better.

00:16:01.000 It's that they have a huge network of people that will get you a job.

00:16:05.000 That's why the Ivy League schools are so coveted.

00:16:07.000 It's not that you're actually, well, yes, they're hard to get into, but they're hard to get into because once you get in and you get a degree from one of these places- You're guaranteed a job.

00:16:14.000 Exactly.

00:16:15.000 And if you're able to get a job in that area, especially, so let's say I want to come to Miami.

00:16:19.000 Well, you better be working in Miami your first summer, your second summer, and making those connections, especially the type of job you want to do.

00:16:25.000 Now, look, you might be able to eliminate what you don't want to do in the first year. 0.98

00:16:30.000 I went in and I did a little civil and criminal work my first summer, and I was like, fuck this. 0.99

00:16:38.000 I went in that Miami-Dade courthouse, and I did some Chinese drywall cases, and I'm like, This is ass. 0.99

00:16:44.000 I'm like, I want to be doing negotiations. 0.97

00:16:46.000 I want to be doing deals.

00:16:48.000 I want to be making things happen.

00:16:49.000 So I came in and I ended up with one of the best firms in Orlando for commercial real estate development.

00:16:55.000 I represent Universal.

00:16:56.000 They're going to open a new theme park, Epic Universe.

00:16:58.000 That was all me, baby.

00:16:58.000 That was my work.

00:16:59.000 I couldn't talk about it for a while.

00:17:01.000 NDA's disclosure.

00:17:02.000 I'm no longer under any of that, baby.

00:17:04.000 I'm free!

00:17:04.000 You can talk about it.

00:17:05.000 No attorney-client privilege.

00:17:07.000 So all the epic universe they're putting in, yeah, that was your boy.

00:17:10.000 I also represented a celebration, reunion, everything else.

00:17:14.000 I did negotiation with Bonnet Creek.

00:17:15.000 I know all about Reedy Creek and the Disney stuff, which is why I covered that on YouTube.

00:17:21.000 So it was a really good opportunity.

00:17:26.000 Knowing that's what I wanted to do, I found out that through law school.

00:17:30.000 And there was a little bit of process of elimination.

00:17:32.000 But it was the happiest thing for me, the best thing for me.

00:17:34.000 And I still, to this day, have good connections because I'm doing what I love and I'm doing what is a natural fit for me.

00:17:42.000 That's smart.

00:17:43.000 So even before you finished law school, he made connections or networking, basically, in his actual school.

00:17:48.000 So let me ask you this, Andrew.

00:17:49.000 Sure.

00:17:51.000 If your LSATs aren't up to par to get into the school that you want to get into, should people even bother going to law school?

00:17:58.000 No.

00:17:58.000 And that's what the woke mom's not going to tell you.

00:18:02.000 That's what your mom is not going to tell you.

00:18:04.000 This is the raw fact for me.

00:18:07.000 It's like being a brokie, right? 1.00

00:18:09.000 As you guys say, right?

00:18:11.000 It's like, if you're an LSAT brokie... 1.00

00:18:13.000 Don't fucking go to law school, okay? 1.00

00:18:15.000 If you have a trash score, don't be like, oh, it's all right enough for this shit law school. 1.00

00:18:21.000 No. 1.00

00:18:21.000 It's all right? 1.00

00:18:22.000 No.

00:18:22.000 No, it's not.

00:18:23.000 You're going to end up in a shit ton of debt, $200,000 in debt in the hole.

00:18:27.000 And then you're trying to work- After seven years.

00:18:28.000 And then you're trying to work out of that.

00:18:30.000 Sorry, that's just law school.

00:18:32.000 Because law school, the average is $100,000, $200,000.

00:18:35.000 Not including undergrad.

00:18:36.000 Pretending your undergrad is paid, right?

00:18:37.000 Maybe you're a nice D1 athlete like you over here, you know?

00:18:41.000 Whatever, right?

00:18:43.000 Even if you're just looking at that, the numbers don't work out.

00:18:47.000 And remember, here's the other thing, too.

00:18:49.000 This is very important. 0.99

00:18:50.000 Don't trust the fucking numbers of law schools telling you on how much people make. 1.00

00:18:53.000 They lie on that shit. 1.00

00:18:54.000 They manipulate the statistics. 1.00

00:18:57.000 And also, a lot of the law schools will pay Pay people when they graduate temporarily so they pad their salary numbers.

00:19:04.000 So they'll put them on what's called a research internship for nine months so that when they do a study of how much their alumni are making right after they graduate, they can pad their numbers on that, then they let them go. 0.99

00:19:15.000 Oh shit! 1.00

00:19:16.000 They're gaming this shit bad. 1.00

00:19:19.000 So do not pay attention when they say average salary is $90,000. 0.99

00:19:22.000 It's probably something like 60.

00:19:24.000 It's probably something like 40.

00:19:25.000 You know what's interesting? 0.97

00:19:26.000 Someone told me this years ago, and I was like, no fucking way. 0.90

00:19:30.000 And you're only the second person to tell me this raw truth. 0.96

00:19:33.000 They basically said, if you don't get into a top 20 law school, don't even bother me.

00:19:39.000 I would say top 50 because some of them can be regional.

00:19:42.000 Yeah, top 50 is fine.

00:19:43.000 Because the thing is, for example, if you went to Yale, right?

00:19:49.000 I mean, unless you're going to be a professor, that's not as relevant as if you went to a really good regional school.

00:19:53.000 So if you went to University of Alabama and you're trying to work in Alabama or work in oil, for example, That's fine.

00:19:59.000 You're targeting what you want to do.

00:20:02.000 Look at where they went.

00:20:03.000 For example, I went to University of Florida, which has moved up the rank a lot, but I wanted to work in Florida.

00:20:07.000 I knew I didn't want to go to California.

00:20:08.000 You did your undergrad and your law school there, right?

00:20:10.000 No, I did my undergrad at FIU. I did my master's at UNC Chapel Hill, and I did my...

00:20:15.000 Oh, shit! 0.99

00:20:16.000 Law school there. 1.00

00:20:16.000 Yeah, I was really super educated. 1.00

00:20:18.000 Okay.

00:20:19.000 I was ultra-educated.

00:20:20.000 Excuse me.

00:20:21.000 Okay, now that makes sense why you went for nine.

00:20:23.000 That's why I went for nine.

00:20:24.000 Okay, because you did your two and got your master's.

00:20:26.000 Yeah, and I was going to do something different, actually.

00:20:28.000 I wasn't going to be a lawyer.

00:20:29.000 And I resisted it for a long time, by the way, until my girlfriend at the time talked me into being a lawyer. 1.00

00:20:35.000 Oh, shit. 1.00

00:20:36.000 Yeah, talked me into a lawyer. 1.00

00:20:37.000 Let me guess.

00:20:38.000 She liked to argue.

00:20:39.000 A little bit, but it worked out in the bedroom.

00:20:41.000 It was all right.

00:20:44.000 Okay, so top 50.

00:20:47.000 And I think that's really important for the audience to know because there's so many people that want to become a lawyer. 0.98

00:20:53.000 They're LSAT sucks. 0.99

00:20:53.000 They get into some shitty-ass school, right? 0.99

00:20:56.000 Bay Path or something. 0.99

00:20:57.000 And let's be clear, Myron.

00:20:58.000 Like, you know, if you want to make money, you can make money without even going to college, right?

00:21:03.000 If you're not ready to prepare to think about that end and think about your end game and what you're going to be making, and look at their salary.

00:21:09.000 Because you know what? 0.96

00:21:10.000 You may look at it and be like, I don't want to be a public defender making fucking 40k a year. 0.97

00:21:13.000 I can do that flipping burgers at McDonald's without a law degree. 0.97

00:21:16.000 Yeah.

00:21:17.000 Right?

00:21:17.000 Come on.

00:21:18.000 Yeah.

00:21:19.000 Why do people, I always wonder, why do people take on being a public defender?

00:21:23.000 Is it for the litigation experience?

00:21:24.000 The loan forgiveness.

00:21:26.000 If you work like a slave, if you're in the coal mines for long enough, they forgive your debt.

00:21:32.000 10 years?

00:21:33.000 10 years.

00:21:34.000 Oh, on the public service loan forgiveness.

00:21:37.000 Yes, you know about that.

00:21:38.000 PSLF. You know, government stuff, right?

00:21:40.000 So you're serving your master at the government for 10 years, right?

00:21:44.000 Longer than the military, right?

00:21:46.000 And you get your stuff forgiven. 1.00

00:21:48.000 Honestly, fuck that. 1.00

00:21:49.000 Why be in the hole for that long? 1.00

00:21:51.000 You've now sacrificed 10 years plus seven, right?

00:21:54.000 17 years of your life.

00:21:56.000 If you were just making money...

00:21:57.000 You do get some good experience though, right?

00:21:58.000 Yes.

00:21:58.000 Would you be able to probably get in a firm with all that...

00:22:01.000 As a public defender?

00:22:03.000 Yeah, with all that experience...

00:22:04.000 Maybe, maybe not.

00:22:05.000 No, maybe, maybe not.

00:22:06.000 A lot of folks I know, I'm going to go back up to Orlando and hang out with my friends.

00:22:10.000 They're still working, making less than 60, 70. 0.99

00:22:13.000 Damn. 0.99

00:22:14.000 And it's years later. 1.00

00:22:15.000 So more...

00:22:16.000 Yeah.

00:22:17.000 I mean, that's LOL money.

00:22:19.000 Like, my super chat's on a Tuesday.

00:22:21.000 It's not a joke.

00:22:23.000 It's sad.

00:22:24.000 It's really sad.

00:22:25.000 And honestly, they're grinding.

00:22:26.000 They're doing 80-hour days.

00:22:27.000 This is why I say make sure you actually want to do it.

00:22:32.000 Look at the hours.

00:22:33.000 Look at the pay.

00:22:34.000 It's not the sexy thing always that you think it is.

00:22:37.000 A lot of lawyers are making less.

00:22:38.000 Than a mechanic, than an electrician, than a developer, than a cyber security person.

00:22:43.000 So make sure you actually want to do it.

00:22:44.000 Look at the money.

00:22:44.000 Public defenders are the worst.

00:22:46.000 And here's the thing.

00:22:47.000 Here's the other thing too, guys.

00:22:48.000 I'm going to be real with you.

00:22:49.000 A lot of people want to flex because they're lawyers.

00:22:51.000 They want to pretend, oh, we're high and mighty because of money.

00:22:53.000 So you've got to live a lifestyle.

00:22:54.000 You've got to have these suits.

00:22:55.000 These suits ain't cheap, baby.

00:22:56.000 Nice car.

00:22:57.000 These suits ain't cheap.

00:22:57.000 You've got to have a nice car.

00:22:59.000 If you don't drive a nice car, your clients are going to be like, what is this guy?

00:23:01.000 I don't trust him.

00:23:02.000 He doesn't have a nice car.

00:23:03.000 If you don't look nice, if you're not living the lifestyle, if they don't see you out, out at all the right places, your lifestyle is high.

00:23:09.000 I'm a minimalist.

00:23:10.000 I hate having to do that sort of stuff.

00:23:12.000 But it's part of the expectation if you work in a law firm in America.

00:23:17.000 I talk more people out of it than into it, but if you're gonna do it, do it right. 0.99

00:23:20.000 Don't fuck around. 0.99

00:23:20.000 No, I think this is important for the audience because people sit there and say, no, go to law school, become a lawyer, etc. 0.99

00:23:24.000 But yeah, so now we know some parameters.

00:23:26.000 If you don't get it, number one, if your LSATs aren't good enough to get into a top 50 school, you might want to rethink becoming a lawyer.

00:23:33.000 And also, you should study under an actual lawyer or look at them what they do to see, do you really want to do this?

00:23:38.000 Yes.

00:23:38.000 Almost like an apprenticeship.

00:23:40.000 If you can get like, well, like back in the day, we used to do apprenticeships. 0.99

00:23:43.000 Like men used to go and fucking apprentice for people. 0.93

00:23:46.000 And in some states allow a legal apprenticeship. 0.98

00:23:49.000 Kim Kardashian famously is doing one in California.

00:23:53.000 Yeah, well, yeah. 0.80

00:23:55.000 You know, whore law 101. 1.00

00:23:58.000 But anyways, point of the matter is- Oh, she's being an apprentice to be a lawyer. 0.97

00:24:01.000 Yes.

00:24:02.000 You didn't know that?

00:24:03.000 I didn't know that.

00:24:03.000 I didn't know that she wanted to be a lawyer for a very long time.

00:24:06.000 She's doing it.

00:24:06.000 She's always been defending people, especially that have been wrongfully jailed.

00:24:10.000 Where'd she go to law school? 0.94

00:24:11.000 She's not.

00:24:12.000 She's apprenticing and she's just taking the test.

00:24:15.000 In California, there's a different system in California, right?

00:24:19.000 She could become a lawyer without going to law school?

00:24:21.000 In California, it's California.

00:24:22.000 Can you imagine Kim Kardashian as your lawyer?

00:24:24.000 Bro, I'd be tight!

00:24:26.000 Yeah.

00:24:27.000 Hey, you're facing murder.

00:24:29.000 Okay.

00:24:30.000 I'm a public defender.

00:24:31.000 Kim Kardashian is your public defender.

00:24:33.000 Bruh, it's over.

00:24:34.000 It's a rock man.

00:24:35.000 Yeah, that's it.

00:24:36.000 I'm done.

00:24:37.000 You're done.

00:24:38.000 She gonna say, he hit it first.

00:24:40.000 Yeah.

00:24:41.000 Yeah, man.

00:24:42.000 Bruh.

00:24:43.000 Oh God.

00:24:44.000 You going to jail, man.

00:24:45.000 Sorry, 304 law. 1.00

00:24:47.000 Damn, bro. 0.99

00:24:49.000 Specialty in 304 law. 1.00

00:24:51.000 Oh, man.

00:24:51.000 Look, listen.

00:24:53.000 Know where you're going.

00:24:54.000 Have an effective apprenticeship.

00:24:56.000 Approach somebody and say, hey, can you mentor me?

00:24:59.000 And you know what's funny?

00:25:00.000 A lot of people want to be a mentor.

00:25:02.000 And especially being abroad, I've learned this talking to older people, older expats.

00:25:06.000 I live in Asia, right?

00:25:08.000 And they want to talk.

00:25:09.000 They want to share their knowledge, right?

00:25:11.000 Yeah.

00:25:11.000 And I think a lot of days we just want to hide inside on our keyboards and go, I'm going to research this on Reddit.

00:25:16.000 Yeah.

00:25:16.000 Yeah, Reddit.

00:25:17.000 That's not how you actually make connections with people, right?

00:25:20.000 How you make connections is in the real, going out and doing stuff, connecting with people, getting out, going and connecting with people.

00:25:27.000 You know, you guys have events, community events.

00:25:28.000 Once again, those are big things.

00:25:30.000 Do that with lawyers, right?

00:25:31.000 Go meet lawyers.

00:25:32.000 Go out to bar events, the bar association, which sometimes is also at a bar, right?

00:25:38.000 And, you know, have a drink with them, talk with them, see if they're happy, right? 0.87

00:25:41.000 A lot of lawyers I talk to are not fucking happy, which leads to a lot of substance. 0.90

00:25:47.000 I've met a lot of lawyers here in Miami and Florida. 0.98

00:25:50.000 This is behind the scenes stuff.

00:25:52.000 And when you say 60K, it made me think a lot because they deal with a lot of stress at their jobs.

00:25:58.000 They work long hours. 0.99

00:25:59.000 They're not making shit. 0.99

00:26:00.000 You know what they do when they go out? 0.98

00:26:03.000 What?

00:26:03.000 They do coke.

00:26:04.000 They do drugs. 0.93

00:26:06.000 They party crazy. 0.90

00:26:07.000 The lawyers. 0.85

00:26:09.000 And I'm like, hold on, you're a lawyer?

00:26:11.000 I'm like, hold on, they're stressed out.

00:26:13.000 What's your name though?

00:26:14.000 Because of the pay.

00:26:14.000 Chris, I won't say their names.

00:26:16.000 No, no, no.

00:26:17.000 Most of them are girls, by the way.

00:26:19.000 They're girls, by the way.

00:26:20.000 And the female attorneys have it bad. 1.00

00:26:22.000 I'll say this because I feel bad for them because they were lied to.

00:26:25.000 They were sold this legally blonde lie that they can just go in. 1.00

00:26:28.000 It's going to be amazing.

00:26:28.000 They're going to be treated with respect.

00:26:30.000 And they think, like you guys know, you guys meet a lot of professional women, and you have them on the podcast, talk to people, and they have this experience, oh, I got the job.

00:26:36.000 Well, that's it, it's ticking in.

00:26:38.000 They're stressed out, they're just really worked up. 0.99

00:26:42.000 It sucks. 0.90

00:26:42.000 It's not the sexy thing they thought it was gonna be. 0.90

00:26:45.000 It's not this dream life, and they're just stuck in that job they didn't want to work in, which is why I'm telling you, especially as a man, if you're a man, you need to make sure that's what you want to do, right?

00:26:54.000 And make sure the firm you're going to is a firm you want to go to.

00:26:57.000 If it's one that's out here, you know, waving, you know, you're going to be required to go to Biden rallies and everything else, you know, make sure.

00:27:04.000 Because a lot of firms are very political.

00:27:06.000 I'm being serious.

00:27:07.000 There's no hat-jacks with them. 0.99

00:27:10.000 In the government, there's a Hatch Act, so you don't have to worry about that bullshit. 0.99

00:27:13.000 Private? 1.00

00:27:14.000 No way, man.

00:27:15.000 They check your politics at the door.

00:27:17.000 I had somebody at a different firm that would always tell me about how they were the only secret conservative at their law firm, and they had to sit there and watch and hear all this, like, oh, Trump's horrible, whatever.

00:27:30.000 Secretly, the guy's got six MAGA T-shirts, all the hats and stuff like that, hoping they don't see him at the rally.

00:27:38.000 It's crazy, but you got to know.

00:27:39.000 You got to know that's what you're in for.

00:27:41.000 Let me ask you this.

00:27:42.000 What would you say are the top five professions that are either A, lucrative, or B, might not be as lucrative, but will open doors for them to allow them to create opportunities for themselves in the future?

00:27:54.000 Yeah, I mean, the thing with attorneys is what's going to be big for attorneys in the future, and I think the big thing for guys, this is a big W for them in the future, is being able to make your own business, right, kind of independent contractor as a lawyer, and being able to do it outside the firm model.

00:28:12.000 The typical law firm is like a pyramid.

00:28:15.000 Senior partners at the top, middle partners, middle management in the middle, and then your associates, those are your slaves, right?

00:28:21.000 And then below the slaves, you have lower slaves, which are your paralegals and your secretaries, right?

00:28:26.000 So that's the model.

00:28:28.000 All those people cost a bunch of money.

00:28:30.000 AI can replace a lot of that.

00:28:31.000 Now, you're going to need something to filter it, make it better, you know, do the research.

00:28:34.000 But if you're able to do that, that's great.

00:28:37.000 Because the people at the top...

00:28:38.000 But what niches in law would you say...

00:28:40.000 Sorry, I'm going to rephrase the question. 0.98

00:28:42.000 Yeah, obviously, you know, being a public defender sucks. 1.00

00:28:45.000 Sucks. 1.00

00:28:46.000 Might not be the way to go. 0.95

00:28:48.000 Regulation, any sort of regulation or compliance, because let's face it, guys, you know it, governments are making more and more and more and more rules as time goes on and on and on.

00:29:00.000 If you know how to deal with that daftly, also taxes.

00:29:02.000 Okay.

00:29:03.000 That's becoming a global thing.

00:29:04.000 Tax attorney, compliance and regulation attorney.

00:29:06.000 IP. IP, intellectual property.

00:29:09.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:29:09.000 Any sort of patents, stuff like that, it's going to be big, right?

00:29:13.000 That's always going to stay big.

00:29:14.000 What about being an AUSA? What are your thoughts on that?

00:29:18.000 I know it's a very hard job to get, being a federal prosecutor.

00:29:20.000 AUSA, if you're being in the U.S., if you want to do that, there's a place for that, but obviously understand your income's going to be capped, right?

00:29:28.000 You're keeping yourself really down.

00:29:29.000 So unless you're making good investments, I mean, you're a government employee.

00:29:32.000 Can you...

00:29:33.000 So let me ask you this.

00:29:34.000 As a government employee, can you save money?

00:29:36.000 Absolutely.

00:29:37.000 Yeah, but you've got to be smart with your money. 1.00

00:29:38.000 Yeah, you can't be an idiot. 1.00

00:29:39.000 You can't be an idiot, right? 1.00

00:29:40.000 And as AUSA, you're going to make six figures, 100%. 1.00

00:29:42.000 You'll make six figures, but you've got to be smart with it.

00:29:44.000 You've got to invest quietly.

00:29:45.000 Can you make money?

00:29:46.000 Yes.

00:29:46.000 But does it open doors?

00:29:48.000 I've been told that an AUSA opens up a lot of doors for you because it's a very prestigious position in the law world, but I don't know.

00:29:55.000 It is?

00:29:55.000 Okay.

00:29:55.000 It can do that.

00:29:56.000 It is something that is there, but is it the most lucrative in terms of money?

00:29:59.000 No, no.

00:29:59.000 No, because you're not making your own firm.

00:30:01.000 Hell no.

00:30:01.000 You're not making your own firm.

00:30:03.000 So that's really good.

00:30:05.000 But frankly, anybody who's running their own firm and who's able to make things more efficient, to make it run more efficient, right?

00:30:11.000 So I think it's a big thing.

00:30:14.000 IP, compliance, regulatory, right?

00:30:18.000 What about real estate?

00:30:19.000 Real estate, it's market dependent.

00:30:22.000 Market dependent.

00:30:23.000 Now, I do real estate.

00:30:24.000 I still do real estate stuff and corporate compliance, but real estate depends on the market.

00:30:28.000 Real estate in Miami and Florida is great because Florida's developing, Florida's booming.

00:30:32.000 But if you're real estate in New York, you're taking a huge L. California.

00:30:38.000 California, right?

00:30:39.000 RIP, right?

00:30:40.000 But maybe if you're in Texas, it might be all right.

00:30:42.000 It depends on the market.

00:30:43.000 And it can be up sometimes, down sometimes, right?

00:30:46.000 I'll tell you, a bankruptcy is going to be big.

00:30:48.000 A bankruptcy lawyer, okay.

00:30:50.000 Anytime the economy is bad, Bankruptcy lawyers are smiling, I'll tell you that right now.

00:30:55.000 The worst the economy gets, it's better for bankruptcy.

00:30:58.000 Family law.

00:30:59.000 Okay. 1.00

00:31:00.000 Shit's not getting unfucked anytime soon. 1.00

00:31:02.000 Yep. 0.99

00:31:04.000 Y'all are laughing here, but it's true, right?

00:31:08.000 That's true.

00:31:08.000 We can talk about it all we want, but, you know, in the West, are you kidding me?

00:31:12.000 You know, that's going to be...

00:31:14.000 We had on Stephen Maeda.

00:31:15.000 He spoke about issues with parenting and...

00:31:18.000 Of course, he said it was get a lawyer.

00:31:20.000 And he said, like, basically...

00:31:21.000 Get a lawyer.

00:31:22.000 If you have a kid with somebody in America especially, you're under a lot of pressure because support... 0.95

00:31:28.000 Co-parenting, that's a whole debacle, and it's mind-fucking because it's a lot of stress on you as a man. 0.90

00:31:33.000 Having to work and support that system is crazy. 0.99

00:31:36.000 Damn, it's nuts. 0.99

00:31:37.000 Alright, I guess we can transition over to the Raquetta Law stuff, right? 0.99

00:31:40.000 Let's do it.

00:31:40.000 Yeah, let's talk about this.

00:31:41.000 Real quick.

00:31:42.000 Did he do it?

00:31:44.000 Who?

00:31:44.000 Or did he not?

00:31:45.000 Who?

00:31:46.000 Diddy.

00:31:46.000 Who?

00:31:47.000 Diddy. 1.00

00:31:48.000 Oh, Diddy is fucked. 1.00

00:31:50.000 As a lawyer, what do you think about what's happening with Diddy? 1.00

00:31:53.000 All the lawsuits, all the friggin' pile-on?

00:31:55.000 I mean, to be fair, I track a lot of lawsuits, guys.

00:31:59.000 So I cover a lot of lawsuits.

00:32:00.000 I get sent in my inbox.

00:32:02.000 I do a legal channel, right?

00:32:03.000 So I get a ton of lawsuits.

00:32:05.000 So you can only cover so much at one time.

00:32:08.000 And I like to go in-depth.

00:32:09.000 But everything I've seen of Diddy, he's in a lot of trouble.

00:32:12.000 Yeah.

00:32:13.000 He's in a hell of a lot of trouble.

00:32:14.000 I mean, the video in the hallway, that's dead to right.

00:32:17.000 There's no self-defense on that.

00:32:19.000 I think that's why he settled in a day.

00:32:20.000 He's that one done.

00:32:21.000 I genuinely believe, because remember, she's hit him with like 30 million, and then he was like, I'm going to fight this, and then a day later he settles, and I was like, she must have showed him that video.

00:32:27.000 Yeah, the video, it's done.

00:32:29.000 There's nothing, I mean, you're done on that one.

00:32:31.000 But to be real, is he going to jail?

00:32:32.000 Probably not, right?

00:32:33.000 Probably not jail.

00:32:33.000 I think he will.

00:32:34.000 Why?

00:32:35.000 The feds did a search warrant in his house.

00:32:37.000 But he's still freaking out.

00:32:38.000 Yeah, they're building a case.

00:32:40.000 I predict he'll be indicted before the end of this year.

00:32:43.000 Yeah, when we see the indictment, I'm the point where I usually want to see the complaint, see the indictment.

00:32:47.000 Yeah, of course, of course.

00:32:47.000 So when the indictment comes out, I'll give that.

00:32:49.000 I'd like to read the search warrant, but we won't get to see that.

00:32:51.000 I'd like to read that.

00:32:53.000 The search warrant is important.

00:32:54.000 We'll talk about that with Reketa, but the search warrant is very important.

00:32:56.000 Yes, yes.

00:32:57.000 But the fact that they were able to get a federal search warrant, man, that tells me that there's a criminal case already open.

00:33:02.000 Yeah.

00:33:03.000 And then...

00:33:04.000 Alright, so...

00:33:05.000 Cool.

00:33:06.000 What was that?

00:33:06.000 Chris?

00:33:07.000 So, two girls are fighting. 1.00

00:33:09.000 Fighting?

00:33:10.000 Arguing.

00:33:11.000 They are arguing.

00:33:12.000 Over what?

00:33:12.000 There's two of them.

00:33:13.000 I told you, but the longer you wait...

00:33:14.000 I guess they want to be lawyers.

00:33:16.000 Yeah, they want to be lawyers.

00:33:17.000 Listen, that took to heart.

00:33:20.000 Family law already at play.

00:33:21.000 Let's go to the Raketa law thing real quick.

00:33:25.000 Oh, locals.

00:33:26.000 Guys, locals.

00:33:27.000 Alright, there it is.

00:33:28.000 CastleClub.tv.

00:33:30.000 You guys want to see the...

00:33:31.000 Whatever.

00:33:32.000 Wait, what's the black or white girl?

00:33:34.000 White. 0.81

00:33:35.000 Too white?

00:33:36.000 She's from Europe.

00:33:38.000 Oh, from Europe.

00:33:38.000 There you go.

00:33:39.000 Alright, sorry, go ahead.

00:33:40.000 It must have been Russia or Ukraine or something.

00:33:42.000 Alright, so let's go ahead with this Rakata Law thing.

00:33:45.000 So, fill us in, bro.

00:33:46.000 What's going on here?

00:33:47.000 I've seen this YouTube channel before.

00:33:49.000 Real quick.

00:33:49.000 So, he was competing with us.

00:33:51.000 Well, actually, he pasted us for number one super chatter on YouTube, and then we came back and beat him.

00:33:56.000 I've been number one a day or two.

00:33:57.000 I take the title for like one or two days.

00:34:00.000 But, yeah, no, he's up there.

00:34:02.000 He's really got famous during the Rittenhouse days, during Amber Heard.

00:34:05.000 But long story short, he, of all the people on the internet doing law, had the ability to transition into a mainstream thing.

00:34:11.000 He could have become a mainstream media host.

00:34:14.000 He could have become somebody popular.

00:34:16.000 But he decided to start drinking.

00:34:17.000 He decided to start, I mean, it looks like, we know drinking, for sure.

00:34:21.000 And this all culminated, this kind of downward slide, culminated in a search warrant being executed a few days ago.

00:34:29.000 For his house based on a mandatory reporter.

00:34:31.000 Do you know what a mandatory reporter is, Myron?

00:34:33.000 No, what is that?

00:34:33.000 There's certain people...

00:34:34.000 See, privilege is not what you think it is.

00:34:36.000 Everyone thinks, oh, I go talk to my priest, I go talk to my therapist, and they're going to keep it secret.

00:34:42.000 That's not true.

00:34:43.000 The only real privilege is attorney-client privilege.

00:34:46.000 Even that's under attack.

00:34:47.000 See, the Trump took aces for details, right?

00:34:49.000 Yeah.

00:34:50.000 Attorneys have the only real privilege.

00:34:52.000 Everybody else is not real privilege.

00:34:54.000 They don't have to keep it secret.

00:34:55.000 So somebody told the preacher something, and the preacher went as a mandatory reporter under law.

00:35:01.000 They were required to turn it into law enforcement.

00:35:03.000 They went there.

00:35:04.000 They told them.

00:35:05.000 They went to law enforcement.

00:35:07.000 They executed a search warrant for his house.

00:35:09.000 They went inside.

00:35:10.000 He refused to open the door.

00:35:11.000 They knocked down the door where the door ram.

00:35:13.000 They found inside 26 grams of cocaine that field tested, of course.

00:35:17.000 Now, that's with Packaging, of course, there can be debate with or without packaging.

00:35:21.000 If it's cut or not cut, different states do that differently. 0.99

00:35:24.000 Damn. 1.00

00:35:25.000 You know, if it's fucking 50% baking soda, is it 26 grams or is it 13, right? 1.00

00:35:29.000 That's a legal question, right? 0.99

00:35:30.000 Yeah.

00:35:31.000 That aside, they found cutters, they found dollar bills with cocaine on them, they found snort tubes, they found ketamine, eight pills of ketamine. 0.98

00:35:38.000 What the fuck, is it 1985? 1.00

00:35:39.000 What the fuck? 1.00

00:35:40.000 You had ketamine? 1.00

00:35:41.000 It's a workshop in here. 1.00

00:35:42.000 What the fuck? 1.00

00:35:43.000 And a brown substance, which I'm hoping is not heroin. 1.00

00:35:46.000 The guy went to jail with him, his wife, and another woman who was living him as the quote-unquote nanny, but is rumored, and this is a speculation, and I'm cavigating speculation, to be his mistress in a throuple sort of situation there. 0.99

00:36:01.000 Oh, shit. 0.99

00:36:02.000 So they all are in a pain. 1.00

00:36:03.000 Yeah, it's crazy facts.

00:36:05.000 So they all went to jail.

00:36:08.000 The third woman got out. 1.00

00:36:10.000 The wife and him got out on bail.

00:36:13.000 They dropped the charges against the other woman.

00:36:16.000 But now he's out.

00:36:17.000 He's yet to get back on YouTube.

00:36:19.000 He had a Rumble contract, just like you guys, because he made that contract a while ago.

00:36:24.000 So he was with Rumble as well.

00:36:26.000 So really crazy facts.

00:36:28.000 But why would he need to?

00:36:29.000 He was always pretty clean.

00:36:31.000 Well, he wanted to do more on locals and also not have to worry as much about like writing the super chats and everything else and having a contract.

00:36:40.000 I'm telling you right now.

00:36:41.000 Bro, YouTube is just like, yeah, man.

00:36:43.000 As a creator though, it's better if you have people that actually support you on your own stuff.

00:36:48.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:36:48.000 100%.

00:36:49.000 They could demonetize you for anything, bro.

00:36:51.000 That's the crazy part, but yeah, sorry.

00:36:53.000 And he would get kind of crazy on Rumble, so it was good.

00:36:56.000 For him, it worked out.

00:36:57.000 He likes to be a little bit more extreme, which is fine.

00:37:01.000 That's people's style.

00:37:03.000 And that said, really sad, because he was my good friend at one point, but at this point, especially seeing him, you could watch his streams, and you could see him, he was drinking more and more and more and more.

00:37:13.000 It was kind of a slide, and then seeing the drugs thing, he's got five kids.

00:37:17.000 He's got five kids, so one of the charges against him is neglect of a child because in Minnesota, if you use drugs around a child, you have a presumption of child negligence. 0.99

00:37:29.000 Oh, shit. 0.98

00:37:30.000 And also, he had a gun, so he caught a gun charge in Minnesota because if you're using drugs in the presence of a gun... 1.00

00:37:37.000 You're automatically...

00:37:37.000 You're a prohibited person.

00:37:40.000 Totally. 1.00

00:37:41.000 It's fucked because I don't... 0.99

00:37:43.000 Now, I'm a Second Amendment man. 0.99

00:37:44.000 I'm a Second Amendment man.

00:37:46.000 So I believe that the gun charges for just merely using drugs in the presence of a gun, I believe those are unconstitutional, right?

00:37:54.000 And there is a case challenging that coming up to the Supreme Court right now.

00:37:57.000 Because if you're going to take away someone's guns, it's because they did something dumb with the guns, right?

00:38:02.000 Yeah. 0.67

00:38:03.000 It shouldn't be because they were just doing drugs and happened to have guns.

00:38:07.000 Well, they didn't do anything wrong with the guns.

00:38:08.000 So, that's a right.

00:38:09.000 That's a constitutional right.

00:38:11.000 So, why are you taking away the guns?

00:38:12.000 So, anyway.

00:38:13.000 You know under what grounds, though?

00:38:15.000 I know you're a former law enforcement of taking away guns over here. 0.98

00:38:19.000 From the Fed perspective, the fucking glowing over here. 0.98

00:38:23.000 It's glowing on this side of the table. 0.98

00:38:25.000 Yeah, the Fed perspective is there's nine angles that will make you a prohibited person from having a firearm under the Second Amendment.

00:38:31.000 And one of them is drug use or being a drug user.

00:38:35.000 Being a convicted felon, being dishonorably discharged, being a drug user, being mentally unstable, renouncing your citizenship. 0.51

00:38:42.000 That's five.

00:38:43.000 There's four others.

00:38:44.000 I can't remember all of them.

00:38:45.000 But what's the irony of this, though?

00:38:47.000 I mean, he does law.

00:38:49.000 Content on YouTube.

00:38:50.000 And now he's being covered.

00:38:51.000 He's like, the coveree has become the covered.

00:38:53.000 Yeah.

00:38:54.000 Right?

00:38:54.000 Like, he was the thing that really started this type of coverage, and now it's part of him.

00:38:59.000 And if it had been, you know, he's covered these type of cases for other people, so it's very interesting turning around and having to cover it for him.

00:39:05.000 It's something I don't like to do because there's kids involved.

00:39:07.000 It's always sad when there's kids involved.

00:39:09.000 Yeah.

00:39:09.000 Right?

00:39:10.000 It's different if you want to go out there and fuck up your life if you're, you know, single, but if you've got kids... 0.94

00:39:15.000 You know what worries me, though, bro? 0.87

00:39:16.000 Like, they can...

00:39:18.000 And I've seen them do this before.

00:39:19.000 They can hit you with a federal charge, possession of a firearm while committing a drug trafficking offense. 0.98

00:39:26.000 If they really want to be dicks, they can do that. 0.98

00:39:30.000 Or they can hit them with the... 0.97

00:39:31.000 It's not found in possession, but it's a prohibited person, prohibited acts, which is one of them is a drug user with a gun, 18 U.S.C., 9...

00:39:41.000 922.

00:39:42.000 Look it up Google real quick.

00:39:43.000 18 U.S.C. 922.

00:39:44.000 Let's see if I remember.

00:39:45.000 But here's the thing.

00:39:47.000 We don't actually have...

00:39:48.000 Here's the crazy thing, Myron, because you're talking about federal government.

00:39:51.000 We don't have...

00:39:51.000 Let's turn into Fed Reacts.

00:39:52.000 We don't have...

00:39:53.000 Yeah, seriously.

00:39:53.000 Another episode of Fed Reacts.

00:39:55.000 Now with more Walt.

00:39:56.000 18 U.S.C. 922.

00:39:58.000 But this time we don't have a search warrant.

00:39:59.000 So we only have a statement of probable cause, but we don't have a search warrant.

00:40:02.000 So we actually don't know the basis for it.

00:40:05.000 We don't know the basis, dude.

00:40:06.000 All we know is an inventory reporter.

00:40:08.000 So we don't know the facts.

00:40:10.000 Because here's the big difference for the search warrant under the Fourth Amendment.

00:40:12.000 They didn't get a search warrant.

00:40:14.000 They have a search warrant, but we don't know the basis for the search warrant.

00:40:18.000 So here's the point.

00:40:19.000 We don't have the affidavit.

00:40:20.000 Here's the point.

00:40:21.000 If the search warrant was because somebody went to the preacher and said, they're smoking dope or they're doing lines, right?

00:40:28.000 That's probably not enough under the First Amendment for a search warrant.

00:40:32.000 It might be for a health check, but not a search warrant.

00:40:34.000 But if it was because they went to the preacher and said, they're doing it in front of kids and here's evidence and here's other stuff, then that might be sufficient.

00:40:41.000 So we don't know.

00:40:41.000 We have no clue.

00:40:43.000 So the search warrant is what we're waiting on in the Nick Ricada case, which is going to be a huge thing because the constitutional arguments, as you know, federal government, state government, this is a state case, right?

00:40:53.000 But if you violate the U.S. Constitution, that's it.

00:40:57.000 So Nick Ricada's best defense is to go for a constitutional defense, say it's an unlawful search, then you can bury it, then the cocaine goes out, the guns go out, the whole thing goes out.

00:41:06.000 He can recover from it.

00:41:07.000 If he gets that.

00:41:08.000 But, of course, it's for a person who was like us in kind of the more conservative sphere, right?

00:41:14.000 It's a bad look as a family man.

00:41:15.000 Obviously, there's going to be PR damage no matter what.

00:41:18.000 That's done, right?

00:41:19.000 But he could get out of the criminal charges.

00:41:20.000 It's possible.

00:41:21.000 I just want to talk about the pressure of being a content creator.

00:41:24.000 It's a lot.

00:41:25.000 I'm not going to lie.

00:41:26.000 A lawyer amidst content, I can only imagine the pressure you have as a creator and a family man having five kids is crazy.

00:41:33.000 Guys, I'm telling you right now...

00:41:34.000 I'm not using his behavior, by the way, but I'm just saying that's a lot of pressure.

00:41:36.000 But, Walt, I mean, this is just for my channel.

00:41:38.000 I'll tell you what I do.

00:41:38.000 I do one stream a day almost, and I'll take breaks every once in a while for my sanity.

00:41:43.000 But, I mean, like today, I did three hours of research for my show.

00:41:46.000 I streamed for four hours, right? 1.00

00:41:47.000 Shit. 1.00

00:41:48.000 Damn. 1.00

00:41:48.000 And then I'm going to do some research even tonight when I come home. 1.00

00:41:51.000 I'm going to do some research for tomorrow.

00:41:52.000 What I should do tomorrow.

00:41:53.000 So I'm working. 0.99

00:41:54.000 I mean, people think being a content creator is easy, that we sit around all day and, like, fuck around. 0.98

00:41:58.000 Like, I'm doing research. 0.98

00:41:59.000 I'm paying attention all day. 0.98

00:42:00.000 My finger's on the fucking pulse of what's going on, and I'm doing real research every single day. 0.99

00:42:04.000 I can work 10 hours, 12 hours a day. 0.99

00:42:06.000 Now, I like it better my way because I can take breaks.

00:42:09.000 I can pause it out.

00:42:09.000 I can go do other stuff.

00:42:11.000 But that said, it's not that easy, guys.

00:42:15.000 It's not that easy, which is why you need support, which is why I know these guys have a good community, why you guys are putting together Castle Club, because it's not easy.

00:42:23.000 You need people to support you.

00:42:25.000 I will say this, man, that has me a little worried with this whole thing, because I'm thinking in my head, because you mentioned that there was a search warrant.

00:42:33.000 Bro, for them to get a search warrant for a house, that tells me that they had actionable info that they went in the house and saw the drugs there.

00:42:41.000 Wasn't it somebody that was with him that snitched on him?

00:42:45.000 So that's what we don't know.

00:42:48.000 So the mandatory reporter was the preacher, right?

00:42:51.000 But we don't know who told the preacher.

00:42:53.000 Yeah.

00:42:54.000 So if it was somebody who knew it was there, that could be a thing.

00:42:57.000 But we don't know.

00:42:58.000 There's rumors that it was a guy who doesn't like him because the woman who was in the house, the plot thickens.

00:43:03.000 The woman who was in the house was married. 0.96

00:43:05.000 And it was alleged that there was a guy who was in there who was friends with Nick who was, the allegations they were swinging and there's all sorts of sexual deviancy going on.

00:43:13.000 Okay.

00:43:13.000 So the guy, you know, the allegations, the guy got cucked and was mad.

00:43:18.000 Because his wife is now divorcing him because she said that, on air, she said that he had never given her an orgasm in her life. 1.00

00:43:24.000 Oh shit, here we go. 1.00

00:43:25.000 Bro! 1.00

00:43:26.000 Bro!

00:43:27.000 This is real!

00:43:28.000 This is real! 1.00

00:43:29.000 When a chick says, his dick is small, never got orgasm, you still fucked him. 1.00

00:43:34.000 You still hit, though. 1.00

00:43:35.000 So you just hang out for it, man.

00:43:36.000 Come on, bro.

00:43:37.000 Objectively speaking, I don't know him.

00:43:39.000 I wish him the best.

00:43:40.000 I don't wish anything bad on a fellow YouTuber.

00:43:43.000 But what I will say is the fact that they were able to get a search warrant as quickly as they did tells me that they got actionable info and had information that there was drugs in the house at that time.

00:43:54.000 And for them to know that, that means someone had to have been inside the house.

00:43:57.000 Because that's the thing.

00:43:58.000 That's what it tells me.

00:44:00.000 Otherwise, it would have been a Karen with a clipboard. 1.00

00:44:02.000 It would have been a Karen with a clipboard coming by... 0.98

00:44:05.000 You know, and just checking. 0.99

00:44:06.000 Because it wouldn't have been a door ram, a fucking door ram. 0.98

00:44:09.000 Me and you both know, to search a home is the highest threshold of the Fourth Amendment. 0.98

00:44:12.000 It's at the pinnacle of the, you know, to search someone's, like, phone or whatever.

00:44:16.000 Like, that's one thing, right? 0.61

00:44:17.000 But to search, or email, but to search someone's house is at the top of the fucking totem pole, because that's the, you know, that's the, you know. 0.91

00:44:22.000 Most private area. 0.98

00:44:24.000 It's the most private area.

00:44:25.000 So you need a lot of probable cause to search someone's house.

00:44:27.000 So that tells me, They had info that there were drugs on that day, at that time, and someone had to have been in the home and did it.

00:44:34.000 And yeah, now that we know that there's people that had to ask to grind, there you go.

00:44:37.000 And here's another one which is difficult for content creators, Fresh, and you guys know about this too. 0.72

00:44:40.000 It could have been as easy as that dumb host sending him a picture like, look at what we're doing with a line of coke in the back. 0.76

00:44:44.000 He could have sent that to the police. 0.99

00:44:46.000 Look, this picture was taken on this day.

00:44:48.000 You can see the drugs in the back.

00:44:49.000 One of the biggest indicators or one of the biggest telltale times of a person that does drugs getting exposed is what normally, typically...

00:44:58.000 What?

00:44:59.000 His girl or sypes getting mad at him and saying, hey, he's doing this on the side. 0.72

00:45:04.000 Now, here's the other thing, and this is for us content creators, right?

00:45:07.000 His streams could have also been evidence, supplementary evidence.

00:45:10.000 Yes.

00:45:10.000 And there were streams where it looked like he was doing coke.

00:45:13.000 Certainly, he was definitely drunk in many of his streams.

00:45:15.000 Yes, sloppy. 0.99

00:45:15.000 He was doing really bad stuff, looked like he was jerking off in one of them. 0.99

00:45:18.000 It was really, really bad. 1.00

00:45:20.000 What the fuck? 0.99

00:45:20.000 Like DSP, you know, Darkside Phil, you ever see that? 0.99

00:45:23.000 You know?

00:45:23.000 That'd get a little sloppy on camera, bro.

00:45:25.000 Yeah, I mean, it's out there.

00:45:26.000 Yeah, I was kind of like, ugh.

00:45:29.000 Don't get that drunk on stream.

00:45:30.000 It's not good.

00:45:31.000 But it looked like he had some powder on his nose at one point.

00:45:33.000 That could have been admitted as evidence.

00:45:35.000 So the thing is, as a content creator, you've got to understand this.

00:45:37.000 It's all admissible, right?

00:45:39.000 So if there's a case, your streams are admissible.

00:45:41.000 This is not private information.

00:45:43.000 They're going to look at your stream, they're going to pull it, and they're going to use it against you.

00:45:47.000 And maybe it's not the primary evidence.

00:45:49.000 I don't think that's the only evidence.

00:45:50.000 It could have been supplementary evidence.

00:45:52.000 100%.

00:45:52.000 They put it in an affidavit.

00:45:53.000 For sure.

00:45:54.000 For sure. 0.91

00:45:55.000 This guy's a drug user, blah, blah, blah. 0.92

00:45:56.000 Look at him here. 0.95

00:45:57.000 Look at him here.

00:45:58.000 All right.

00:45:59.000 All right, cool.
