00:01:35.000I was a banker originally, an economist, and then F that.
00:01:39.000And I wrote a book quite some time ago, and that was when self-publishing was just new, but that brought me into the world of writing and publishing, and then blogging, and as bandwidth expanded, got into podcasting and YouTube.
00:01:51.000Then I ran into YouTube Hanyakers, and I regretted it ever since.
00:01:55.000But yeah, the books are largely financially related, economics related, and so people have questions about the origin.
00:03:14.000Basically, we started my YouTube channel back in 2019 trying to get people an honest take on what's happening in crypto because there's a lot of bad information out there.
00:03:24.000I would say just like the coins out there, 95 to 99% of all information about crypto is pretty much trash out there.
00:03:31.000So yeah, that's our goal here is basically to get um good information to retail which basically just means average everyday people and getting them to level up their game when it comes to money so we've been on your guys's platform before um because back in 2019 we helped get you guys into crypto and then um yeah we've been helping a lot of you guys basically getting into crypto making some money here so um it's just one of those income streams that's really good and i think everybody should have a bit of some And then on top of that,
00:03:58.000I guess my previous life before I was a corporate or before I was a YouTuber, I was a corporate recruiter helping people to change their jobs in tech companies in Tokyo.
00:04:08.000I'm Michael Sarte, I'm a retired U.S. Air Force officer.
00:04:11.000I flew special ops for seven years in the Air Force and then I did counter intel for like the last year and a half.
00:04:17.000And when I got out, I started trading.
00:04:18.000I became a professional stock options seller since 2013 until probably 2019.
00:04:23.000I used to work for Tasty Trade and Tasty Works.
00:04:26.000There's some former pit traders from Chicago that started that company.
00:04:29.000And I was one of the follow traders for them for a long time.
00:04:32.000I managed a small fund as a quantitative analyst for a little while.
00:05:42.000And honestly, I want to say this from the bottom of my heart.
00:05:44.000I'm really proud to have all of you guys as friends.
00:05:46.000And I'm happy to share you guys with the audience because a lot of you guys have unique expertises, different experiences that we can all learn from.
00:06:03.000How important is it to get your money on point in today's day and age?
00:06:09.000Right behind fitness, the most important thing.
00:06:12.000We were just having a conversation today in the halls, actually, about some of the younger guys that seem to want to focus on women at the wrong time.
00:06:19.000And we all feel like it's kind of a moot thing until you get your fitness and your finances together because you're competing in an environment against people that do have those things together.
00:06:28.000And at a young age, when you should still be developing and working on money, You're competing against guys like us with girls your age that are going to date up anyway.
00:06:36.000So particularly for the young guys, it's the number one focus.
00:06:39.000But for any man in the dating market at all, money is an absolute must because I think we all agree that hypergamy is real.
00:06:45.000Whether we want to blame women for that or not, I think is up to debate about.
00:06:58.000And in fact, I put it right behind or very level with fitness.
00:07:03.000The thing that social media did, it did not help men meet women.
00:07:07.000It helped a small group of men at the top meet all of the women.
00:07:11.000If you look on dating apps, Tinder, Bumble and Hinge deem 80% of men to be unattractive and 63% of the right swipes go to the top 10% of men.
00:07:20.000What's happened is back in the day, the guy who had the physique, the Lamborghini or the nice car, he had maybe a 10 or 15% advantage, but it was only the people in his city who saw him, and now that advantage is exponential.
00:07:42.000But there needs to be a level of subsistence that you have to where you can afford some basic necessities so that a woman would want to go out with you.
00:09:46.000And so when it comes to that, if you think about it that way, you're spending that much time every single day to try to get money and then you say money is evil and it's a resource that I'm not going to try to go after because it's hard, right?
00:10:26.000And this is like, I feel like crypto and the red pill is really merged together really well because it's all about having that ability of freedom of like choice, freedom of money.
00:10:35.000I mean, Rolo says it all the time, you know, that, you know, I'm not giving you prescriptions.
00:10:41.000I'm telling you the information, and it's up to you to choose your adventure and what you want to do with it.
00:10:46.000But without money, you can't do anything.
00:10:48.000If you don't have money, you're a slave.
00:10:51.000I mean, I wish it wasn't like that, but there's a lot of people here that are able to do it through business, hanging steel, or crypto, or a lot of the other business stuff.
00:11:02.000There's a lot of ways to make money and stuff, and a lot of the gentlemen here are very successful, so definitely listen up.
00:11:25.000With regards to money, I think the number one thing that young people need, and I guess probably people who aren't experienced with money, is the proper mindset.
00:11:34.000After amassing a decent amount of money, I figured out how to be poor.
00:11:38.000I'm not poor, but I figured out how to be poor, which is to say that money matters a lot when you don't have any, and then once you get some money, it doesn't matter at all.
00:11:47.000Once you get to the point where money doesn't matter at all, then you can look at money objectively and understand how to use it, how to protect it, how to grow it, all of those different things.
00:11:56.000More importantly, there's often a conversation when you're putting the pursuit of women and the pursuit of money against one another, which I don't actually think is the case.
00:12:05.000I think if you find a proper integration in life, you find a way to deal with women as you strive on your pursuit of finances.
00:12:14.000I don't think you have to exclude them totally, but that requires Meaningful mindset in which you let this chick know, hey Shorty, you're not my goal.
00:13:06.000And I think there's a spiritual level to finances.
00:13:09.000And once you understand that, then you can relax and enjoy life.
00:13:12.000And shout out to crypto because you're right.
00:13:15.000It gives you that disconnect from government because my last bit on money is people don't realize they think banks are private institutions.
00:13:43.000When you buy a bank, you are buying a government accreditation.
00:13:47.000That's essentially what you're buying.
00:13:48.000Anyone could just collect assets, but the bank, what you're buying is the actual accreditation that they're getting from the federal government.
00:14:24.000And all we're doing is exchanging time through this tool of money.
00:14:27.000So in order to get gas, I need to get money to pay the refiners and the truck drivers and the gas station attendants to do that.
00:14:34.000And the quicker you accumulate money, and as you pointed out, the less money you need The quicker you get to what you were talking about, Miguel, freedom to do what you want.
00:14:45.000And so, but it is equivalent to your health because, yeah, you could have the world's greatest health, but if you're poor, you can't go and buy food, let alone go and enjoy life.
00:14:56.000Shout out to all the male strippers here in Las Vegas.
00:14:58.000Thunder down under health, but no money.
00:15:00.000And this is, I gotta ask this question, because as you guys know, we got a varying...
00:16:05.000It's hard because I'm going to say this.
00:16:08.000When you have no debt and you have enough money for a down payment on a house, then I think as a young man you are at a position where, okay, you could start to entertain the pursuit of women.
00:16:20.000Don't pursue them and don't ask them out if they're there and don't swear off them or anything.
00:16:24.000But where, oh, okay, I got things stable, I got a good job, I have no debt, and I got a little bit of money in the bank that could potentially buy property with, then I would say you've kind of reached it and you could start entertaining having women be a...
00:16:39.000How much do you think they should have in savings, roughly?
00:16:41.000Because let's say they don't want to buy a house, they want to rent.
00:16:47.000So if your boss F's with you, you lose your job, any kind of thing outside of your control, you're not desperate, you don't have to stay in a toxic work environment, you can live for six months, find a job, not be desperate, hold off for a better job.
00:17:02.000So I'd say at least six months living expenses is what you need.
00:17:14.000Freedom, no, you need full FU. You need way more for freedom, and that's what I meant.
00:17:18.000There's peace of mind, hey, fuck you, don't treat me that way, I'll quit, get another job.
00:17:21.000And then there's true financial freedom.
00:17:23.000And since Fresh and Fit's audience kind of skews a little bit younger than mine, especially for younger guys, the mistake I made was always paying off my debts, everything went to pay off debts, and I did not have this micro FU fund.
00:17:35.000And you are going to run into mentally ill bosses, psychopathic bosses, companies that just go bankrupt because of, you know, economic factors, nothing malicious there.
00:17:44.000You don't want to be, oh my God, I need to find another job immediately.
00:17:48.000You could, if you got six months living expenses, oh, by the way, employers are going to lowball you on your first job offer no matter what.
00:18:33.000When do you think they should have, what's a good, you know, because everyone is different, but when do you think is a good time in their life to have that?
00:18:42.000If we were to have the perfect world, not a single person would go to college for a year.
00:18:47.000You would stay at home, live at home, and work two full-time jobs, and save up that six months.
00:18:52.000You would also minimize your expenses, so you couch surf for whatever, you get a used car, so that six months' money is a lot less, or you got a year's worth of living expenses.
00:19:05.000Then you could go to college, throw it into some average returning fund, whatever you want.
00:19:08.000And then when you graduate, you should have a very tidy little nest egg there that allows you not to be taken advantage of in the labor market.
00:19:14.000And people forget, when you have money saved up, you have confidence too as well.
00:19:17.000So you can move forward, make more risks, and you're more confident in that way.
00:21:21.000When do you start feeling comfortable and maybe confident?
00:21:23.000It's when you have skills that you can use in any developed market irrespective of the language and the particular cultural context.
00:21:30.000Just like you're in the military, if I could drop a certain kind of military operative and he's like, look man, give me a god damn compass and a toothpick and a god damn plastic bag and I can MacGyver this stuff.
00:21:43.000When you have that skill set to where you say, okay, I might not have this money that he's talking about having saved up, but I'm a hustler and I have a skill set and I can make money every month no matter what.
00:21:52.000When you figured out how to offer value to a marketplace on a consistent basis, you don't have to worry about how much you saved up.
00:21:57.000You don't have to worry about inflation.
00:21:58.000You don't have to worry about all this other stuff.
00:22:00.000And if you happen to be smart on top of that, which is not a necessity, you need focus, but you don't need high intelligence.
00:22:05.000Once you have those things, you say, look, I'm harder working.
00:22:08.000I'm more focused and more intelligent than the average person.
00:22:11.000If I end up in bad shape, there's going to be a revolution.
00:22:13.000Because that means that there was already 80% of the human population was starving to death.
00:22:18.000If I'm starving to death, everybody's starving to death.
00:22:39.000So let me ask you this, Marquette, because you're, you know, a lot of people say, you know, college is scam, it's bullshit, whatever.
00:22:45.000You were able to use the education system to your advantage and, you know, get into the tech field, etc.
00:22:51.000Can you talk a little bit about if someone is going to decide to go to college and pursue higher education, how do they go about it intelligently so they don't get a useless degree?
00:22:59.000This is actually something I have expertise in because I actually created a technology that was around college retention.
00:24:28.000And number two, why don't you create a fake resume with that college degree on it and send out some applications and see what you get back?
00:24:37.000But mostly I recommend vocations and I recommend a trade.
00:24:41.000And you can see what they pay straight away because most of us are not scholars.
00:24:45.000Most of us are not deserving of a liberal arts degree.
00:24:48.000Like a philosophy department should be the smallest department at any institution because it requires extraordinary intellect, which most of us don't have.
00:24:55.000And even if you do, that doesn't pay any damn ways.
00:24:58.000Those are the people who have to have a patron, right?
00:25:21.000If you don't have a sense of what you want to do, and I used to lecture at top business schools, Kellogg and all this good stuff.
00:25:27.000If you don't know what you want to do, a business degree is not going to do much for you.
00:25:31.000And that includes the MBA. You might get the numbers and you can talk to this gentleman here, have a deep ass conversation, but where's the application?
00:25:40.000And often the MBA teaches you how to operate in the C-suite in a Fortune 500 company, but you're not gonna get hired in a Fortune 500 company.
00:26:30.000I mean, if we're just being for real, depending on what skill set you actually have at the time.
00:26:34.000I mean, if we're just talking girls versus money and stuff like that, that's just a conversation.
00:26:38.000Whether, like, there's some people that are born more Chad than other people, and other people had to work for it.
00:26:42.000I feel it's always a concentration of, like, what we found, at least through our courses in crypto, is guys kind of work on this.
00:26:49.000It's kind of this flip switch where one minute they're focusing all on money, the next minute it's all girls, and then when that gets filled, they go right back to the money.
00:26:58.000It's always this kind of ping-ponging back and forth between girls and guys.
00:27:39.000That 10% move that happens in the market will end up being, wow, I made more money than I made today in a day, then a week, then a month, then a year, and then, like, damn, I'm making more than I made in a decade.
00:27:52.000And then the thing is, is, like, people, like...
00:27:55.000People just always like a big mental block a lot of people have is like I remember back in the day I would try to like I would make a hundred fifty bucks a day or something like that as an example right and I would try to like put a hundred dollars away into the market and stuff and it was just like I would just end up having to dig back into the account.
00:28:10.000So I think a lot of people need to start with these little baby steps and $20, $5, it doesn't fucking matter.
00:28:16.000It's just like clawing every single day and over time that nest egg becomes something where you can make a move.
00:28:25.000Obviously you can do it in real estate, you can do it in businesses and stuff, but the only other thing I would probably tell people is This is by me joining the YouTube world and this whole social media game.
00:28:37.000If you're not making content or you're not making noise, you are invisible.
00:29:02.000I made a lot of money without social media, but imagine if with social media, it would just put you to the next level.
00:29:07.000You could be mediocre in whatever you're doing, but if you have that social media presence, if you're YouTubing, I see guys on YouTube every day fucking posting like, I'm cleaning yards for free, and they get tons of leads.
00:29:19.000It's about creating this funnel to yourself, and you either are Making content or you're nobody.
00:31:43.000So networking and understanding the digital age is going to be your key to self-sovereignty.
00:31:49.000The earlier you do that and the more consistent that you do that, the better you will become, the better you will have success.
00:31:55.000And then for everybody at this table, because we have that momentum going, success Happens because we keep spinning that momentum wheel, right?
00:32:04.000So getting that base, getting that foundation is extremely hard.
00:32:07.000It takes about five years of dedication.
00:32:09.000That's why they have you go to university for four to five years to become a master at something, right?
00:32:13.000That's why they have a master's degree.
00:32:14.000So you want to really focus on it for a period of time at some point for about five years before you're 25.
00:32:21.000And that can be, you know, the hard stuff.
00:32:24.000But, you know, if you don't have anybody in your life telling you about money, they do not care about you.
00:32:30.000Anybody who cares about you will teach you about money.
00:32:34.000And if your parents do not teach you about money, they care about you.
00:32:37.000But there's probably something in terms of their education that they were missing as well.
00:32:42.000So it kind of has that knock-on effect for a lot of people throughout generations.
00:32:45.000So if you're part of that, you have to get up and get going.
00:32:50.000If you don't do that, you're going to fail.
00:32:52.000Charlie, I remember, just after your point, I remember being 20, right?
00:32:55.000And I would sit at Starbucks every single day, learn about social media, Instagram, YouTube, and I was like, my friends would be like, yo, let's go party, bro, let's go have fun.
00:33:03.000I'm like, bro, no, I need to learn shit now because if I don't learn it now, when it comes time to use it in the future, I wonder what to do.
00:33:40.000So start selling door-to-door when you're a teenager, perfect.
00:33:43.000If you don't have that experience when you're in university, go get some hardcore sales.
00:33:48.000One of the companies that I worked for for about, I would say, two weeks, I was like, yeah, it's just not the right business, it's morally incorrect, which is a company called Co-Cutlery.
00:34:45.000So we'll almost play it like a video game.
00:34:46.000When you're a freshman in high school, you're at zero and zero.
00:34:50.000So money and women, you don't have game and you don't really have any money.
00:34:53.000Now, maybe you develop some ability with women as you go through high school, but maybe not a lot of money unless you have a job.
00:34:59.000The problem that happens, and this is something that I witnessed because after the game came out in 05, I used to work with Mystery, I used to go out with RSD all the time and see these guys who were interns and all they cared about was women.
00:35:10.000They were sleeping on couches, all they cared about was women.
00:35:12.000They sometimes didn't shower, it was just women, women, women.
00:35:15.000I live here and I meet bartenders who have nothing but debt or male strippers and these guys are like what you said, very Chad.
00:35:22.000They're extremely good with women but they're fucking terrible with money.
00:35:27.000I have women come on the show all the time because the women here make more money than the men in Vegas because the pool job is giving me like $240 a year.
00:36:25.000Jonathan Haidt's an incredible author.
00:36:26.000So when you go through those numbers, that's probably, we'll call that a two.
00:36:31.000Start at a two, and then at that point, you need to know something.
00:36:34.000Because what happens is you end up becoming like some of the pilots.
00:36:37.000And the doctors and the real estate developers that end up joining my course who got married very early, made millions of dollars, and don't know fuck all about women.
00:38:43.000We're going to work on our fitness, we're going to work on our money, and we're going to work on our gambling.
00:38:46.000All three of those things, but we don't want one to get so far where we're a bodybuilder who's broke, and we don't want to become the guy who's incredibly good with women but we're sleeping on a couch, and we don't want to become the fat, rich guy.
00:38:57.000We don't want to become any one of those three tropes.
00:39:11.000And sometimes, again, if you guys read the book Dataclysm, the CTO of eHarmony, for women, their primary age is 23 to 25, but for men, it is 38 to 44.
00:39:22.000That's when we've learned all of the lessons that we have, and we have some money saved up.
00:39:27.000And going back to what you said before, we also have a skill set If you took all my money away today, I know I could go into high-ticket sales, and I know I could teach people how to build sales funnels, and I know I could teach people how to create coaching programs.
00:39:40.000I know those three things I could do right now if you took away all my money and all my clients right now.
00:39:44.000I know I could do those things, and I could probably do Facebook ads pretty well, too.
00:39:48.000So those skill sets that you learn, and sometimes you have to work for someone.
00:39:51.000In order to do that, sometimes you actually do have to have a job and you learn those skill sets.
00:39:57.000At William Morris and CAA, they always start in the mailroom, right?
00:40:00.000Sometimes you have to take that beating in the beginning as an internship to learn a skill set.
00:40:05.000Like again, every one of his guys, I promise you, Justin knows at least the basics on carpentry, electric, laying pipe, all this kind of stuff.
00:40:17.000Laying pipe is all of our specialty, apparently.
00:40:20.000And so when it comes to that, now you have a specialty, and like Justin says, now you have become useful to other men.
00:40:27.000So now that I'm useful to other men, that's almost as important as the wealth itself.
00:40:31.000If you gave me a choice where I have a job where if I work harder, I make more money, or if you give me $10 million, I'm gonna take the job, the job where I own it, right?
00:40:39.000I'm an entrepreneur, I own 100% of this company, and I know if I work harder, I make more money.
00:40:43.000Sales is a great example of something like this.
00:40:45.000I would rather have that than $10 million.
00:41:42.000And then another thing I want to say, and then another thing I want to say also that you made a great point where you said you want 99 speed, agility, etc.
00:41:49.000Well, you basically need a GameShark in life.
00:41:51.000And that GameShark, gentlemen, is consistency, time, and discipline.
00:41:56.000When you get that GameShark, I'm showing my age here, GameShark used to be a thing you put in the video game and it would give you all the codes and you'd be able to level up your guy.
00:42:45.000I would like, at least in a business, create systems where you know that people are waking up and going to work for you every day and that you are going to make money regardless because you can trust those systems or the residual income from real estate or something of that nature before I'd really calm down and let go.
00:43:00.000That's, for me, what allows me to really close.
00:43:03.000And that's served you very well with an eight-figure business.
00:43:35.000So, for me, man, having systems that I can trust and people I can trust and, you know, building those relationships the right way so you can get walls down and have honest conversations.
00:45:37.000So we've been giving y'all a lot of fire, man.
00:45:40.000Like I said, there's a reason I've been excited.
00:45:42.000You guys are getting literally several multimillionaires in one room giving y'all a whole bunch of sauce in different fields and different entrepreneurial ventures.
00:45:49.000You're not going to get that anywhere else.
00:45:50.000That's why we're number one men's podcast in the fucking world.
00:46:43.000We got Carlos saying the idol James Bond, Marquette Davon in the building, fire, fire, fire, giving you lessons from the P-Y-E-M-P. P-Y-E-M-P. That's what that says.
00:46:56.000Okay, US dollar, $20, Mike Davis, big fan, but the idea the average man makes $40,000 a year is false.
00:47:03.000Those statistics count everyone, like recent immigrants, welfare recipients who don't try, and only counts tax income.
00:47:10.000That's the thing, that's why statistics are called statistics, because they cover everything.
00:50:36.000What do you guys predict is gonna happen, I mean, your prediction, as far as the future financially?
00:50:42.000With the banks going, with the issues, cryptocurrency going up and down, interest rates just went up on real estate, we could start, who wants to start first?
00:53:29.000It requires skills now to even be a criminal.
00:53:31.000Now, on the other side of that is cybersecurity.
00:53:33.000I remember when I was working for the mayor in Baltimore in the DMV, whatever the hell they call it, you know what I'm talking about, right?
00:53:40.000There were four cybersecurity jobs for every one Resident.
00:54:39.000You really need to look into businesses that are outpacing regulation, and the crypto guys know about this kind of thing.
00:54:44.000When the business is outpacing regulation, that means that there's a major opportunity to make money before the government sinks their teeth in and slows you down.
00:54:52.000You can either do that in a highly developed economy, which means you're going to be on the bleeding edge of technology, which is improbable, or you can do that in a developing economy.
00:55:01.000You could do that in South Africa, English-speaking, smart population.
00:55:33.000What I want you guys to know with regards to AI and all these things that might be scary or fascinating to you, what this means for the future economy is that quality and creativity are at a premium because volume is going to come.
00:55:47.000Kids, I'm going to be a content copywriter.
00:56:18.000And that goes into the point of there's no replacement for thinking.
00:56:22.000Like, artificial intelligence was created by man, and all other things that are going to make a ton of money are going to be created by man.
00:56:29.000And I mean that in the sense of mankind, but...
00:58:08.000So we are actually going to have a Fed dollar.
00:58:10.000The Federal Reserve, what they are doing right now is they're crushing small to medium-sized banks, community banks and stuff, and essentially concentrating power within the larger banks.
00:58:19.000And over time, they'll even rug the big banks as well.
00:58:22.000What the Central Bank wants is for you to just use them as the bank.
00:58:29.000You are going to be having an app that will directly just link up to the Federal Reserve.
00:58:34.000Now, I always say that we're sort of in the Cold War right now, where there's China and America's China-lite.
00:58:43.000We won't ever go to the crazy level that China will because we are trying to be competitive against them, so we will always be slightly better, but we're heading towards what China's already doing as well, which is the next crisis that we end up having, there will be like $1,200 stimulus checks,
01:00:01.000But what I care about is you guys having the freedom of money, freedom of movement of your capital, of your savings because what I'm afraid of is that they're going to steal our ability to save.
01:00:09.000And if we can't save money, that means we can't save our energy for something, then we're slaves.
01:00:15.000I know I'm being a little bit like, kind of like, you know, I'm not trying to freak everyone out though, but it's just, the thing is, it also, on the good side, like you're talking about technology, right?
01:00:25.000The people that are in the crypto space, you onboard a bunch of people into using a central bank digital currency, magically they know how to use a crypto now.
01:01:42.000What these guys are talking about is the digital age.
01:01:44.000So you want to look to the future as much as you look to the past.
01:01:47.000And when you're looking to the past, the one thing that is constant is humans.
01:01:53.000Humans have not changed in thousands of years.
01:01:55.000We all do the same shit, just different patterns.
01:01:58.000So if you understand those patterns when it comes to finance, How that doesn't change over time, just the market changes over time, like you guys have been saying, you'll always have the ability to understand the market to some level, right, and operate with that.
01:02:12.000So I would say the two, there's three books that I would recommend for everybody.
01:02:16.000The first book is for people who are coming into money, doing some sales, and want to basically build a nest egg, right?
01:03:15.000It's the core of what the central bank digital currency is doing.
01:03:17.000So if you can understand that book, how it looks from going to the industrial age to the digital age, everything these two guys just said, that's where I was going with that, was essentially you can see the future somewhat, right?
01:03:30.000And you can start planning for the digital age because none of us have been taught how to operate in the digital age.
01:03:34.000We've all been taught how to operate in industrial society.
01:03:38.000And then the last book that I'd recommend is Reminiscences of Stock Operator.
01:04:04.000It's really, really boring, but it's massively important because if you understand how humans operate with money and how that hasn't changed from the fucking Romans to 100 years ago with what this book is talking about, then you can understand how people will act in the future and that it all happens in cycles.
01:04:21.000And so cycles of political cycles, cycles of financial cycles, cycles of the universe has cycles.
01:05:03.000And one of the things that happened was when Biden got elected, and I'm not a supporter of Biden, but I just heard everyone say that there was going to be this massive fucking recession and the whole world was over.
01:05:12.000And I just remember being like, there's too many people on YouTube saying there's going to be a recession.
01:05:21.000But when Alex Hormozzi is telling me that there's going to be a recession, I'm like, wait a second, I'm not really sure if he's the right person for me to listen to.
01:05:43.000The rate of economic growth will continue to slow.
01:05:46.000Because what I think will happen is productivity will be narrow to a small group of people that have technological advances that others don't.
01:05:52.000In a couple years we're talking about AI, but in 50 years we're talking about literally our amygdala replaced by a microchip.
01:05:59.000We get to that point where we actually bifurcate the species like what Ray Kurzweil talks about.
01:06:04.000I think that's where we're going to see in the future.
01:06:06.000I'm way more of an optimist than a lot of people.
01:06:08.000The most liquid capital markets on the planet are in the United States of America.
01:06:12.000I think the GDP here is, what, $24 trillion?
01:06:15.000And the entire planet is $80 trillion?
01:06:25.000We have 5% of the planet's population and a quarter of the world's GDP. And part of the reason why is not because of the way our people work, but it's because of the fact that liquid markets are here.
01:06:34.000Again, I grew up with some traders, so that's why I believe this way.
01:06:37.000So I think I actually have a very positive outlook here, but not for everyone.
01:06:41.000I have a positive outlook for a certain group of people.
01:06:44.000If you go back 20 years and look at Cisco Systems and General Electric, these two companies were the Biggest companies in the country and they got disrupted by companies like Meta and companies like Tesla and stuff like that.
01:06:54.000What I think is you're going to have this group of extremely high producers, extremely productive people, but new disruptors are going to come into the space.
01:07:02.000And as negative as we may think about the way things are now, we still live in a country that is free enough to allow cryptocurrency to flourish and for us to talk about it.
01:07:10.000We still live in a country that is free enough right now for us to have artificial intelligence or technically it's machine learning.
01:07:19.000And so because of that, I truly think that if you choose to be part of what I consider the decision-making class, and the reason why I call them the decision-making class, we're the people who read books.
01:07:28.000The people who read are the decision-making class.
01:07:33.000Those of us who do that, we will be the disruptors.
01:07:35.000We will be the ones who will lead us into a new era.
01:07:38.000But that new era might not be coal mining.
01:07:39.000That new era might not be digging ditches or laying railroad.
01:08:00.000But I still think because the capital markets in this nation, whether it is commodities, whether it is fixed income, whether it is equities, or whether it is crypto, is still the United States of America, is still by far, and there's not even anybody even close.
01:08:11.000And the second thing, I know I brought this up before, and obviously I'm biased, but the U.S. military, we can take on every other country at the same time, all at once, and we can handle all of them.
01:08:18.000We are so far and away beyond every other country on the planet that that is also a secure reason why, even though we complain about the dollar going up and down or whatever, there is one thing that legitimately backs the dollar, and that is a $1.2 billion B2 from Nam Nasser, Missouri, that will nuke any other fucking country on the planet with stealth capability.
01:08:36.000So that is the thing that makes this whole situation a little different.
01:08:39.000So I'm not quite as negative as other people are.
01:08:41.000I think if you look for opportunity and you're willing to work and you're willing to find subject matter expertise, I think in this future economy you can make a lot of money.
01:08:49.000With your military background, do you think war with Russia is possible?
01:10:18.000Do you think, to play devil's advocate, do you think the fact that they didn't take Kiev so quickly is because they didn't just want to airstrike them like we did with Iraq, and they wanted to take Kiev and tackle them?
01:10:25.000Well, so when we bombed Iraq, we left the infrastructure in place for the most part.
01:10:32.000Well, we took out every part of their military structure.
01:10:48.000In order to have these laser-guided bombs, you either need an EA-6B prowler up there pointing a laser, or you need a global positioning system, to which they have none.
01:11:03.000There's so many things that were going on here where we didn't have to put any troops on the ground, but we gave them such a technological advantage.
01:11:10.000If this is the case, if we're at a stalemate now at 13 months or 14 months, I think, that we're at right now, the Russians should not have taken this on.
01:11:16.000And I really think it was a massive mistake on their part.
01:11:28.000Like, Russia invaded another country, and Germany's gonna find...
01:11:33.000Because we've been telling Germany for years...
01:11:34.000Even Donald Trump said this, you guys need to start buying petroleum from some other country besides Russia because Russia needs to play ball like everyone else.
01:11:42.000When you deal with Saudi Arabia or you deal with Venezuela or you deal with Russia and they do things you don't like, you have to be able to economically punish them somehow.
01:11:50.000Germany was buying over the 50% or 40% of their total petroleum and all of...
01:12:02.000Because their pipeline was going through Ukraine and Ukraine was charging them like two, three billion dollars in order to transport petroleum through there.
01:12:09.000And then Ukraine figures out that in Crimea, they have, I believe, the 20th largest oil reserve on the planet.
01:12:17.000Once they realized, hey, Shell, hey, Texaco, you know, come on in here and get the shale oil from us.
01:12:23.000Now, not only would Ukraine be like charging tariffs...
01:12:53.000So I understand why Russia did what they did, but they had the opportunity over the last 20 years to not be a petro-state to put themselves in this position.
01:12:59.000Yeah, so as far as that, I don't think the United States, whatever.
01:13:02.000China, yes, possibly, because China actually finally has a blue-water navy.
01:13:07.000China does not have stealth capability.
01:13:09.000The Indian Air Force was able to spot Chinese stealth aircraft at 500 miles.
01:13:14.000They're so far behind us when it comes to that kind of stuff.
01:15:01.000And again, I would read The One World Schoolhouse by Saul Kahn, where he talks about that.
01:15:05.000It's like, we need, because of teachers' unions, we cannot bust up this Prussian model of education.
01:15:10.000You talk about the Prussian model of education.
01:15:11.000I talk a lot about teachers and how much I hate them.
01:15:16.000We cannot bust apart this Prussian model of education so that if my son is smart enough to be in trigonometry when he's 12, but he's failing at English, we hold him in the fifth grade, we don't let him out.
01:15:27.000And we should be able, if he becomes an excellent person and learns business calculus when he's 10 years old, let him do that.
01:15:34.000We shouldn't be held back by fresh at all.
01:16:25.000The thing is, for me, I just feel like, to me, it shouldn't have taken a year.
01:16:29.000If they were the military that they purported to be, which is either second or third next to China and the United States, they should have been able to take Ukraine.
01:16:37.000Because I guarantee you the United States would have taken Ukraine in 10 days and we wouldn't have bombed, we wouldn't have hardly killed, we would have killed some civilians.
01:16:42.000So you're saying it was a materials issue, not a strategy issue?
01:16:48.000What happened was when Russia invaded Crimea, he had a 74% approval rating.
01:16:55.000Because the way it feels like, it's like, if Louisiana wanted to secede from the United States, there's something very American about Louisiana.
01:18:00.000They do exactly what the Russians want.
01:18:02.000So the thing is, with Ukraine, what happened was, they got pretty free, and they were incentivized, and Germany's like, hey, come over here and date us.
01:18:09.000And Russia's like, fuck no, if you're not going to date me, you're not going to date anybody.
01:18:20.000Because in the 1980s, dude, those MiGs could do incredible things.
01:18:23.000They could fly two times the speed of sound.
01:18:25.000But when we got to stealth technology and when we started taking over as far as drone manufacturing, as far as global positioning system, they can't keep up with us.
01:18:46.000I almost guarantee you, though, there's EA-6B Prowlers and RC-130s that are flying over Ukraine right now, and the Russians can't see them, and all of a sudden their radios don't work anymore.
01:18:57.000All of a sudden none of their communications are secure.
01:19:00.000The United States is not going to help the Ukrainians specifically, but they're going to give them a lot of aid, and so is the European Union.
01:19:05.000And I'm telling you right now, as soon as they're...
01:19:08.000Putin's biggest fear is if they put F-35s in Germany.
01:19:11.000Because if they do that, man, it is a problem.
01:19:13.000When you have stealth aircraft, I don't think you understand the asymmetry here.
01:20:06.000Yeah, they've been building roads in Africa forever.
01:20:08.000Well, Africa has some of the best natural resources in the world.
01:20:10.000It's always been the case, and there have been many scrambles for Africa, but the concerning thing is, in addition to that, you also have the Chinese doing predatory lending, and then they take the port of the country, or they take the rail system, which is critical.
01:20:22.000But what we really have to understand is that, like, different than, say, European colonialism, The Chinese, with their huge population, they're actually executing on German Lebensraum.
01:20:31.000And they're sending their people there, which is when you're in South Africa, when you're in Zambia, you see things written in Mandarin.
01:20:38.000And they're doing all the construction in Ethiopia.
01:20:41.000And they're becoming police officers in those nations.
01:20:53.000So what's happening, like what you said, is because in the United States, we don't care about Central Africa.
01:20:58.000We don't even know, like these girls who don't know, they don't know anything where Congo is, they don't know where Kenya is, they don't know where Eritrea.
01:22:21.000But the thing is, with all of our conventions and how you can wage modern warfare, actually having people to go and die in the war is a critical aspect, and that's one of the things that Ukraine's hurting for.
01:22:33.000Yeah, that's what Russia's doing right now, battle of attrition at this point.
01:22:49.000And even the Russians, who I agree, are back.
01:22:51.000I mean, Putin's a smart fellow, but I think as a statesman, he's not as scary as American propaganda has portrayed him to be, and he's not as effective.
01:25:00.000And it's because of the culture you spoke of earlier, and I think there's a number of reasons that American culture has been subverted, and I think it's been a mix of all those ugly elements that existed from that Cold War era that came from the Russians and the Chinese.
01:25:14.000Yeah, we're still fighting that war when there are other ways, and all of a sudden there's a 20-year-old kid who's confusing our children, and we're still trying to build bigger bombs.
01:25:24.000And to your point, AFRICOM is in Germany.
01:25:27.000The African command for the US military is in Germany.
01:26:51.000Joe Rogan talked about this and it was fucking shocking.
01:26:54.000Basically, any device that you log in from, they can collect information from that device.
01:26:59.000Any device that you log in from, into your account.
01:27:02.000So they basically get free reign to collect information from all of your devices, to sell you advertising, to go ahead and collect all the info, and it's just like ridiculous, but hey, it is what it is.
01:27:11.000And it's all in small writing, but it's amazing the amount of invasion that TikTok has.
01:27:17.000That's why we don't use it in crypto at all.
01:27:18.000I make sure that every student of ours does not download TikTok at all, on any mobile device, computer, anything, just because it's that dangerous.
01:27:27.000I mean, regardless or not, we were still getting spied on by American companies.
01:27:35.000Speaking as a former counterintelligence officer, maybe, I will tell you that you are giving this information away for free, and we're not having to really spy on you.
01:27:45.000You just fucking give it up all the time.
01:27:46.000When you agree to the fucking cookies, and you download this app, and you all the information...
01:28:26.000You guys are snitching on yourselves constantly already on platforms that you don't own, your own data, and people are taking shit from you, and it isn't even illegal what they're doing at this point.
01:29:43.000And fortunately for America, I feel like from a geographical position in farmland and our ability for oil and the military and how hard it would be to attack America, America's in a really, really, really good position.
01:29:56.000A bunch of people got pissed at me the other day because I said America's the goat on Twitter.
01:30:00.000And whether you like America or not, Fuck you.
01:30:04.000They're still the GOAT. We are still the GOAT. We have the biggest stick.
01:33:25.000But the reason why is because I like that analogy.
01:33:27.000Because once Sputnik goes off, if you ever talk to your parents or grandparents about the day Sputnik went over, when they started the first satellite over, it was a Russian satellite, it wasn't the United States.
01:33:37.000Once that first satellite went over and they could hear that beeping noise, everybody's booty holes got tight.
01:33:41.000And we all of a sudden became very close to the survival scenario again.
01:33:46.000And gender roles were not confused at that point.
01:33:48.000I'm really glad you said that, because one thing I left out is...
01:33:52.000Debt cycles are going to keep doing what they're doing.
01:33:54.000But then one thing I think is different is I think that rich people are going to have farms.
01:34:15.000So they're either going to do shit like move to Dubai or they're going to buy a farmland in the middle of Kentucky or South America or somewhere.
01:34:21.000The most fertile land in the world is in the United States.
01:34:24.000Right next to the most powerful river in the world, by the way.
01:35:00.000Basically, the New York DA's office is probably going to indict him for some type of fraud because he used campaign funds to pay his lawyer, paid the woman off, and then he used campaign funds to pay his lawyer off and reimburse him for paying that chick off.
01:35:14.000It was somewhere around $150,000 or something like that, $150,000 to $300,000, so that she wouldn't go public while he was campaigning back in 2016.
01:35:35.000I don't believe in the Constitution that says that a convicted felon cannot run for president because he sure as fucking run for Senate and he sure as fucking run for that.
01:35:42.000So I don't believe, Aaron, do you know anything about it?
01:36:10.000We're going to go way back to me and Aaron Clary's time.
01:36:13.000Aaron Burr, when he shot Alexander Hamilton, had a federal arrest warrant for the murder of Alexander Hamilton while he was the sitting vice president of the United States and literally sat in the Senate and broke ties literally while there was a federal murder warrant for him.
01:36:28.000So the point we're trying to make here is that just because people have committed crimes doesn't mean they can't run for public office.
01:36:34.000But right, the indictment thing is not something I've ever heard before.
01:36:36.000Yeah, at least that's what I've been told, that when you're under indictment by a grand jury, you cannot run for public office.
01:37:26.000That's what it really is, but for the people who know the word democracy, just for a young guy watching, could you speak to that for a second?
01:37:32.000A republic, in short, to keep it simple, is the idea that you have others representing you, and they're really the ones that are exercising democracy.
01:37:40.000We don't have a plebiscite like you would in ancient Greece, so you essentially have other agents who represent you.
01:38:57.000I also think he was one of the few American politicians, like, we haven't had a good, like, real powerful politician that people are like, not only will I vote for you, not only will I talk about you to my friends, but I'll ride and die for you.
01:39:10.000Since we have, like, Huey P. Long in Louisiana.
01:39:28.000Donald Trump failed to take that power that he had with basically white folks who have a certain position in the society today that's peculiar.
01:39:39.000But he failed to properly organize them.
01:39:48.000Like, this guy is a party unto himself.
01:41:17.000So I'm gonna play devil's advocate because I'm not saying you're wrong, but my whole concern was that if he does that, he is severely alienating the middle once he goes off and he takes a 60-year-old woman and throws her in prison.
01:43:11.000I mean, and I mentioned white folks earlier, which is a really important thing because every nation state basically at some point it was probably homogenous and there was a prevalent culture or a mainstream culture.
01:45:38.000They make sure that the poor is not too poor.
01:45:41.000You come to this place, we call it the land of opportunity.
01:45:44.000We don't care where you came from, but when you show up here, if you're willing to work hard, be intelligent, be industrious, be a good person, you can make it to the apex.
01:45:53.000And it doesn't matter what color you are, but you have to soak up some of this ism we have here.
01:46:28.000But what people don't realize is when you have an influx of basically another country flushing their toilets on us, that's what's happening.
01:46:36.000You don't get the smart people from Mexico, the successful people from Mexico coming.
01:46:47.000They're flushing their toilets on us, and it's changing our culture.
01:46:51.000And people don't realize that if you take everyone from a retrograde economy and bring them into a developed economy, eventually we will become the place they left if they overpopulate here.
01:50:15.000Our federal government, we get our money through taxation, and they don't have that same thing.
01:50:20.000What they have is a port system where they can pay for their entire education system and their infrastructure completely through the ports.
01:50:27.000And what happens, it's really funny, even their military, their enlisted or TCNs, third country nationals, their officers are all Emirati Citizens.
01:50:38.000They don't have a department of identification there.
01:51:51.000And those boys are lined up next to the five hotel and you're leaving in the Uber and there's like 40 of them just sitting there just waiting to go to work.
01:51:58.000And so they have that and they have speed.
01:52:01.000You know, and I think those two things allow them to do a lot that America could not do at that rate.
01:52:06.000So you think that's a big reason why they're safe?
01:52:08.000They don't have some of the same issues we do with the mass immigration.
01:52:10.000And I think they're like the modern-day Switzerland.
01:52:49.000And so because of that, you don't see that destitution.
01:52:50.000I bet you if you look all over the world, you're going to see a lack of crime in situations like that where everyone has a place to be, a place to sleep, and a thing to do.
01:53:02.000I'll tell you why I respect them more than I respect, I hate to say, the conservatives in America, because I'm very conservative.
01:53:09.000But they not only hold their ground, they send counterfire.
01:53:13.000And I feel like if Trump made a mistake or the Republicans make a mistake, we hold our ground, but we kind of get dragged because there's so much bullshit that comes from the left.
01:54:19.000Which have a lot of things in common, but for some reason if you talk to a conservative White Christian, they're convinced that Islam is the devil, and it's almost like they're closer to the LGBTQ side of things than they are to the, hey, I don't agree with this Allah Akbar and like yelling and like,
01:58:05.000It could be feminism, where women are just like, oh, my God, I have a vagina.
01:58:08.000I'm amazing, and that's the only thing about me.
01:58:11.000No civilization or culture, no matter what the treatment, is going to recover from that.
01:58:17.000And so until you get people to get off their asses and go work and get their head out of their asses that their value is derived from a parasitic ideology, nothing is really going to change.
01:58:29.000And if there's any advice I give young men listening and any women get their heads out of their asses long enough to listen is have an indispensable skill, diversify, crypto, and do buy foreign outside investments.
01:58:44.000That's what I would be looking at right about.
01:59:55.000If somebody could look it up and remember the amount of atheists who have read the Bible cover to cover versus the amount of Christians.
02:00:01.000It is somewhere like 67% of atheists and 36% of Christians have read, or even less than that, have read the Bible cover to cover.
02:00:08.000So I happen to know, and I'm not against gay people.
02:00:10.000Gay people do whatever they want, but I happen to know in the book of Leviticus and the book of Romans, that's where it specifically says in the Bible that man should not lay with another man.
02:01:55.000So I got, you know what, and then I'll go to the chats after this, but I gotta ask this.
02:02:00.000It seems like from what we're talking about between, you know, potential World War III, TikTok taking over, you know, people being losers, fat, deplorable state, United States coming down.
02:02:10.000It seems across the board here that the United States is losing its grip on the Earth as the leading power.
02:02:48.000Because I would say the biggest thing that Americans have problems with is understanding their place in the world.
02:02:55.000It's this bubble of people saying the same shit, not really understanding what they're talking about, kind of like what you're saying there, with Aaron Clary's point, right?
02:03:08.000And so basically, a lot of people, they simply just don't understand the context of the real world.
02:03:16.000And because they don't have the context, they're going to act how the media tells them to act.
02:03:20.000What did living in Japan teach you about the United States?
02:04:18.000Are you going to turn around and, like, not go in there?
02:04:22.000Or are you going to, you know, say, like, hey, I want a seat, right?
02:04:24.000You say you want a seat, and they put you in the corner, right?
02:04:28.000They put you, and there happens to be other foreigners around here, like, all the other floors are purely Japanese for the most part, right?
02:07:24.000Listen, when we do this kind of stuff, like the fact that we don't understand basic biology, we don't understand human evolution anymore, we don't understand any of these concepts, this is where we are falling behind.
02:07:35.000I promise you, we were talking about the greatest nation.
02:07:39.000You know what else happened in the 1950s?
02:07:41.000We were at war with other countries, and we were near the survival scenario, so we taught our children science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
02:07:48.000And that's where some of these incredible breakthroughs came from.
02:07:51.000We need to encourage companies, any kind of technological innovation, we need to go in that direction.
02:08:09.000Those things right here, if you go back and look at every problem that we've had throughout history, it wasn't Republicans or Democrats that came up with antibiotics.
02:08:38.000Because once we can start 3D printing houses and start growing massive amounts of GMO food, we are going to have a class of people who don't do shit.
02:08:48.000If you guys want to read the Expanse series by James S.I. Corey, 90% of the population is unemployed and they all just live on basic, but they're happy and fat and dumb.
02:08:57.000But to add to your point, mate, you know what they have for that?
02:10:47.000Being able to travel, ideally multiple passports, so you do not have to be anchored to one particular country system.
02:10:58.000Even the simplest of things you can do right now is to get digital residency in Estonia, so you can still operate on the internet no matter what happens to your home country.
02:11:08.000But this is a whole other world where you'd have to bring in Sovereign Man and other people who are more experienced in this field.
02:11:14.000But those would be the things I would do to hedge...
02:11:44.000And when we think of the societal level, we even have to think of it as like damn near a global society because culture is spread so rapidly and transmitted through social media.
02:12:31.000I have some financial accounts in other countries.
02:12:34.000But at the end of the day, it comes down to power.
02:12:36.000And do we understand the true sources of power, some of which are fame, Wealth, the respect of men and the love of women.
02:12:45.000These are different sources of power that you can leverage.
02:12:48.000And we're so scared and fearful as men that we don't realize that we are in revolutionary times and violence is required.
02:12:55.000And what I mean by that is, do you not observe that the left when they don't get their way they get violent with us?
02:13:01.000Have you not observed that some scandalous slore will get pregnant by you because she thinks you're well off and then she will use the state as her instrument to extract money from you, which is violence?
02:13:14.000Do we not know that we have to organize and be together among men and be willing to operate as a unit?
02:13:20.000I think that's what we're denying is the fact that if we're In revolutionary times, we have to be willing to take revolutionary action, and a part of that is going to be having to stand up to government, stand up to liberalism, because here's the thing with sane people like us.
02:13:35.000The leftists, we make fun of them like, oh, they're always marching, they're yelling.
02:13:39.000But those things are actually effective.
02:13:41.000And the problem is guys like us, we sit on our asses.
02:13:43.000When it was time to go vote for Trump, some of us didn't go vote.
02:15:09.000We're using their language which lets you know how deeply they've penetrated our psyche.
02:15:14.000You probably know the scholar, I forget his name right now, but he said there's a discourse with a capital D and embedded in language is our ideas and our ideology.
02:15:22.000Language is not only expressive of reality, it's also constructive of reality.
02:15:27.000So when you use the term partner, you further remove gender from romantic relationships.
02:16:47.000And if that could happen to them, I've said this before, if it could happen to them, guys that have the influence and the power and the connections that they have, what do you think a normal guy's going to have?
02:16:54.000Even on a digital level, bro, like Miguel was saying, your digital currency, if you don't do what they say, zero.
02:17:13.000They go and they cry and complain with their purple hair and they run on Capitol Hill and they strip in this thing and they're willing to get arrested and they're willing to riot and do all this crazy shit.
02:17:20.000You look at Minneapolis, they burn it down to the fucking ground.
02:18:08.000And do you think most of those people who were protesting there, protesting, right, basically anarchy, right, controlled anarchy to some extent, do you think those people were actually mostly from Minneapolis?
02:18:20.000And it's one of those things, people are going to call that a conspiracy theory, but, you know, when you know a place, it's just like that shit does not fly there.
02:18:36.000It's got to be peaceful, guys, because like I said before, they're just looking for anything to keep Andrew and Tristan in.
02:18:41.000But yeah, I mean, guys on this side of the internet, I know we're high IQ, we look at the world objectively, whatever, but yeah, we got to start doing some of the things that the left does, obviously not to their extent, committing violence and hurting people.
02:18:52.000In respect of Google's guidelines, I do want to say...
02:18:56.000That it should be peaceful and abide by the law.
02:18:59.000But I would also like to point out that the left is very strategic at breaking rules and getting away with it, and then they try to trap you in the system.
02:19:12.000There's a lot of systems with rules, like for example, the APA. Historically, they don't remove a diagnosis out of the DSM, was it the DSM? It was DSM-IV in 1972 that got labeled homosexuality as a...
02:19:34.000And there was – and usually when they pull something out, there's a peer-reviewed article written by like some experts and they're like, oh, you know, the scientific community agrees that this research has shown us a new way.
02:19:49.000Did that process occur when they remove – I don't believe it did.
02:19:53.000I think that was a little bit more of a political – It was political because they were protesting outside of the meetings.
02:19:59.000The left was protesting, which is to say the APA had a clear process that they've always followed.
02:20:04.000And ever since that, they've still followed the same process.
02:20:06.000The only time they broke the rules was when those people protested.
02:20:10.000And so what I'm saying to you all is that a government is just a group of people who are well organized and have a monopoly on power.
02:20:17.000They will also yield to other people who are organized and are willing to present some power.
02:20:21.000And one thing I can assure you of, if there was a protest in Romania that was significant in size and presence, and let people know, like, hey, we're riding for this guy, and if this guy doesn't get off, things are gonna get ugly, he gonna get off.
02:20:35.000And they're going to do it through the legal process, but somehow the legal process is going to yield the outcome that is favorable.
02:20:42.000The APA has actually done something else.
02:20:44.000Richard Reeves, who brought this up, who is a political moderate, right?
02:20:46.000The Brookings Institute senior fellow.
02:20:48.000The APA does not make distinctions for dimorphic differences between men and women that have anything to do with hormones.
02:20:55.000They act as if hormones have nothing to do with it.
02:20:58.000There is nothing in there about hormones.
02:21:00.000Whenever they talk about why men are more aggressive or whatever, it is always a conflict.
02:23:02.000It's become a way to be cool and a way to differentiate yourself.
02:23:07.000And that is something interesting as far as what happens afterwards.
02:23:11.000I don't want to go too far into this, but the book Dataclysm by the CTO of eHarmony basically talks about how bisexual men on the platform only message men.
02:23:24.000Because for some reason, them being bisexual as opposed to homosexual is a higher status.
02:23:28.000So there's a status hierarchy amongst the community.
02:23:31.000And I think what's happened is a lot of kids are like, I get to play a victim if I choose to change my sexual preferences or whatever I state myself as.
02:23:39.000And at that point, like, listen, I know I'm heterosexual.
02:23:42.000We know we're heterosexual for the most part, right?
02:23:47.000But maybe when you're really young, maybe you are enough to believe some nonsense.
02:23:51.000You haven't gone through puberty or whatever.
02:23:52.000And so now we're in kind of a dangerous time.
02:23:54.000The problem I think happens is that like, and I'm saying this as a political moderate, there is no way you can tell me that someone is competent to, not competent to join the military, not competent to vote, not competent to drink alcohol, not competent to smoke cigarettes, but we are cutting their gonads off at the age of nine.
02:25:27.000It was really heartbreaking because as a doctor, he understood what actually happened to him physically.
02:25:34.000And one, he described it as what it is, which is mutilation.
02:25:36.000But he said, you know, when I got the surgeries and I was attempting to live as a woman, and then he says, there are this many genes that define me as a male regardless, like this many thousand.
02:25:47.000He said, when I was living as a woman, I was in pain the whole time because these surgeries are not...
02:26:15.000So when they get what they want and they do the surgeries, they still somehow don't feel like they're supposed to and they end up offing themselves.
02:26:24.000It's actually love that we want to get these people the proper help so they're not hurting themselves.
02:26:29.000Listen, in the United States of America, if you want to take a hammer to your own dick in your own house, you're fucking allowed to do that.
02:26:34.000...allowed to do whatever the fuck you want, and I will fight for your right to do that, okay?
02:27:05.000What if that's all they have in life and gives them value?
02:27:09.000See, I've been on this battle since I was 20, being the sole not-Democrat in Minnesota.
02:27:17.000I don't know about you, but I'm tired of arguing what is common sense.
02:27:23.000You have to understand that we are so spoiled, and people are so soft in this country, and they don't have to work, but they still need some kind of reason to live, they'll find anything, as long as you don't have to work.
02:27:59.000But you're not arguing with reasonable and rational people.
02:28:03.000You're arguing with ideologues whose ideology, or I'm sorry, let me make a choice of my words correctly.
02:28:13.000Whose strength of belief in that erroneous ideology is driven by their fear of actual work to develop something real in their life and actually have real value.
02:28:24.000So instead, you threatening them with logic and reason, they're going to strike back out at you, and they will demand fealty.
02:28:32.000Before they even entertain a logical argument or put the kid first or have any kind of adherence to reality.
02:28:39.000And once you realize, I don't know if that qualifies as mental illness or just fervor, it doesn't matter they're being irrational.
02:28:46.000There's, yes, we should not cut little children's genitalia off, generally speaking.
02:28:50.000I don't know about you guys, but that's where I land.
02:28:53.000But I'm tired of arguing with leftist nutjobs.
02:28:57.000And these are the men, you know, there's good Democrats, you know, the labor Democrats aren't, you know, I know them, they're good people.
02:29:02.000But this group, whether it's like, oh, I'm a pansexual, or oh, I want the surgery, you can argue logically, a very clear libertarian argument, well, go ahead, you're 18, you can do whatever you want.
02:30:01.000See, we procreate and then they reproduce through our schooling system, our public schools.
02:30:05.000But the funny thing is we're so hyped on being a man, but how is it that the men, all we can do is gossip and babble and complain with words?
02:30:14.000And the women in the LGBTQ, they're actually the ones taking the action.
02:30:21.000And the truth is, to your point, you said that they're ideologues, correct?
02:30:25.000Which, to Otto von Bismarck's epic statement, the great questions of our day will not be settled by majority votes or speeches, but by blood and iron.
02:30:35.000And I want to know, how is it that we as men who know it's wrong to chop off a kid's private parts, how are we not enraged about that such that we've actually done something?
02:34:21.000And so what I'm saying is be specific, have a greater sense of what you want, or at least give a better description of like, this is what I've done, this is what I've studied, this is what I know, this is what my interest is, and that'll give you a little bit more guidance.
02:34:35.000If he says how much he wants to earn and what he does specifically in IT, then we can follow up.
02:34:40.000I would say, generally though, start looking at employers and do projects from now.
02:34:45.000So when you go to that employer, whatever it might be, hopefully it's programming, then from there you can actually use those projects to get the job.
02:34:50.000Also, guys, there's about 8,000 plus y'all in here.
02:35:51.000Be able to remove the table and have hard conversations when they happen.
02:35:55.000The one thing that I always say about when I have an employee that's messing up Instead of having a, you're on this side of my desk, I'm on this side, we move the desk out the way.
02:36:03.000I get with them, knee to knee, and I said, look, man, I brought you here.
02:36:07.000I brought you here because I believe in you, and I want to see you win, and I don't want you to let me down.
02:36:14.000And I think when you can care for people on that level, and you can be so strong that you can be transparent and let walls down, and they know you'll fire their ass, but you don't want to.
02:36:47.000Alright, so we got Samuel Stevenson for $9.99.
02:36:50.000Michael, driving back to Texas for now, but after having the opportunity to interact with you in person yesterday, I know that you're a true mentor.
02:36:57.000Tell me what I need to do to become one of your salesmen.
02:37:29.000And it's one of these things where I've seen super introverted people train themselves into becoming incredible salespeople.
02:37:35.000We're getting so good at training our guys That we're eventually going to probably start a second program training guys how to do it using Cole Gordon as our guy.
02:40:55.000What should the main focus of my business be when first starting?
02:40:58.000Develop relationships with the small local police departments that will need your help that might not help the money or the resources to go ahead and pay for a more sophisticated crime scene people.
02:41:08.000Morticians did not go through the recession of 2008.
02:41:12.000Morticians did not go through the crash of 2020.
02:42:41.000And not only that, it's like, let's say you're in construction or any kind of project.
02:42:45.000Let's say you were building that e-comm website.
02:42:47.000If you can't manage and properly track man hours to a said project to know whether you're profitable or not, you could be doing jobs in the negative and not even know it.
02:42:56.000So many guys, they don't even understand the difference between cash and accrual.
02:43:42.000Well, it's entrepreneurial studies, which fails the test.
02:43:44.000If you need to go get a college degree to be an entrepreneur, you're not an entrepreneur, okay?
02:43:48.000Here's another thing, too, I will say.
02:43:50.000Accounting also, if you guys want to get into law enforcement, you want to work for the FBI, DEA, HSI, etc., an accounting degree is fantastic if you want to get into law enforcement.
02:44:04.000Hey, I just saw your picture on Instagram before tonight's show, and I just want to say if you could tell those guys, every very single one of them, except Fresh, at the table has helped me immeasurably in becoming the best version of me.
02:46:09.000I guess my biggest L would be probably being afraid to start.
02:46:14.000I had it for a long long time wanted to get into finance and really talk about finance and study finance and I was just kind of afraid to do it because of like where I was at that time and stuff and then that's your biggest thing is you need to you know you need to fight it just fucking do it who cares he who hesitates masturbates I like that.
02:46:33.000Biggest L? I would say not preparing several years in advance on taxes in terms of, right, what do you call it?
02:46:44.000When you are basically building your business and you're trying to break through, right?
02:46:49.000Before you break through, you're like, okay, you know, it's gonna take some time, right?
02:46:53.000And I'm, you know, you don't think about the tax implication once you hit your goals, right?
02:46:58.000And so if you're not prepared for that in advance, when you do hit it, the government's gonna take a fucking lot of money out of your paycheck and out of your ass, right?
02:47:06.000And that is way worse than if I invested in something and it didn't work out, I made that decision, right?
02:47:14.000In this case, right, the government literally just said, hey, how much you got over there?
02:47:27.000Let's say, for example, you're planning for within the next five years, you're going to build whatever basically helps you to be self-sovereign, right?
02:47:35.000And it's your own business or whatever it is, right?
02:47:37.000As long as you just have, let's say, A window of two to three years where you're like, okay, I don't need it right now, but I'm going to set myself up, you know, properly with accounting and everything, you know, and just really be, you know, take that very seriously and just get your shit together.
02:47:54.000And then once you hit that money, right, you'll be able to keep more of it, right?
02:47:58.000And then you'll also know where everything is.
02:48:00.000I'm going to give you guys a pro tip right now.
02:48:04.000That literally is going to save your life because you literally can just, at the end of the year, just download the entire spreadsheet from that one credit card.
02:48:22.000For those of you who don't own a business and don't understand how our tax code works, you're incentivized as a business to spend money to buy further education or invest in another business.
02:48:31.000And then you don't have to pay taxes on that extra expense that goes against the profits in your company.
02:48:36.000And you'll see some companies, you're like, how in the world does Apple not pay any taxes in the United States?
02:48:40.000It's because they're running up expenses in the United States in order to do that.
02:48:57.000No, triple leverage in the stock market.
02:48:58.000I'm working for Continental Financial Capital as a quantitative analyst, and it was one of these things where we're down 30%, and then I send in bad money after good against Tom Sosnoff's ideas, and it was a lesson that I learned which got me to start my own business,
02:49:14.000which was, that would be the biggest W. Number one, starting my own business, joining the U.S. military.
02:51:14.000It sounds like a very arrogant, cocky thing, but when you look at like, whoa, then you start making decisions based on the real world and you just improve your profit, your rate of return on investment, your time and everything.
02:51:24.000And so, correctly assessing when society is wrong and you the individual is right, that was a big win.
02:51:55.000And then also, real quick, stop the goddamn show.
02:51:58.000I need you guys to stop and subscribe to every single guy on this panel.
02:52:02.000There's a reason why I've been shutting the hell up and letting them do most of the talking, because I want you guys to subscribe and see the intellect here.
02:52:08.000These are guys that I call my friends, so if they're my friends, y'all need to go ahead and watch them, because I would not pick friends if I didn't know that they were bringing a lot of value.
02:52:15.000If you combine all the knowledge in this room, you're gonna be superhuman.
02:55:04.000Whether you are from a broken home, your mom divorced your dad, your dad went out for cigarettes, never came back, or why I think it's very common...
02:55:11.000You had a dad, but he did not participate in your life because he either didn't know or he just didn't participate.
02:55:16.000It is a 12-hour course where I enlisted the help of other fathers.
02:55:20.000I'm not a father, so I enlisted the help of Rolo, Cooper, all these other guys.
02:55:35.000I had to make my money back because it took a freaking month to record that thing.
02:55:39.000So if you are lost, and we've all talked about a lot of things here, but there's no way we could cover every possible thing that you might be missing that your dad should have taught you, take that course.
02:55:49.000I try to make it as affordable, yet fair that I get compensated a little bit as possible.
02:55:53.000And then, otherwise, you could contact me at ASL Consulting if you have other questions.
02:55:56.00012 hours of concert for 150 is a fucking deal, bro.
02:59:34.000Now, I show a lot of influencers, a lot of hot girls on my stuff.
02:59:36.000The reason why I do that is because it's harder to keep their attention.
02:59:39.000And if you can bench press 300 pounds, then you can bench press 200 pounds.
02:59:42.000If you can get a hundred Playboy models to come to your party, when you do a real estate broker, you know, a mortgage brokers event, super easy to get them all to show up, right?

03:00:23.000Basically, we take all these different things where it comes to economics, where it comes to behaviorism, where it comes to intersexual dynamics, and we relate that to the survival scenario.
03:00:31.000We relate that to what are the proclivities that caused human beings to be able to survive and replicate, down to our most basic instincts and proclivities.
03:00:39.000And we use a lot of the teachings of Dr.
03:00:42.000David Buss, who was on Joe Rogan yesterday.
03:00:43.000So if you guys want to learn an Evidenced-based approach.
03:00:48.000My opinions don't mean shit, and neither do yours.
