00:03:35.000And then, you know, and then they didn't want to tell me, but they're like, you know, hey, you know, we're part of an internal investigation.
00:03:42.000Next day, I meet up with the, you know, the special agent in charge.
00:03:45.000And they tell me, hey, it has to do with your YouTube.
00:04:01.000And what ended up happening is I had to make a really tough decision that month.
00:04:05.000I remember going back and forth, trying to negotiate, trying to figure out what we're going to do.
00:04:09.000And, you know, they're like, no, like, you have to pick one, you have to either, you're going to be a YouTuber, or you can be a special age or a homeland, but you're not going to do both.
00:05:11.000You know, fortunately, we made some...
00:05:15.000Moves, et cetera, you know, and we kind of saw and knew that the type of content that we make, for us to be able to give you this content, we have to...
00:06:18.000But we don't, in any form or fashion, hate YouTube or want to go at them.
00:06:23.000We're just saying, you know what, we wish we knew the reason why, but we respect, you know, for them letting us use the platform and keeping us here for a while.
00:06:45.000Money, dating, improving yourself, etc.
00:06:48.000And unfortunately, to be able to give people real advice that they can take in real life and apply to the real world, you have to have uncomfortable conversations about uncomfortable topics in uncomfortable times.
00:07:07.000Guys, it's about to be an election year.
00:08:40.000From killing yourselves, from injuring yourself, from making a really bad decision, or doing something that you can't necessarily take back.
00:08:50.000What I'm asking you guys is, just like we've saved you guys, we need you guys to save us.
00:08:56.000We need you guys to support us on Rumble.
00:08:58.000Because that's the last bastion of free speech at this point.
00:10:58.000Well, then I could be eating for a while.
00:11:00.000But the point is that, like, right now, guys, like, we're being genuine here and telling you, look, listen, we need your help.
00:11:06.000And if ever before you appreciate the content, you gain value from getting a credit score up, getting a girlfriend or wife, or even getting money from Money Mondays, guys, like, we need to help today.
00:12:43.000And we invested more in Recruiting, getting Chris the resources he needs because we have a whole operation where getting girls on the show.
00:14:01.000So, guys, I'm not saying this to be like, oh my God, I feel sorry for us.
00:14:04.000But it's like, for us to run the show at this level, right, where we are competing with some of the top podcasts in the world that are heavily funded, have sponsors, etc.
00:14:12.000We don't have sponsors like that, guys.
00:14:14.000Because look at the content that we make.
00:14:16.000We're bringing on really controversial guests, talking about really controversial topics.
00:14:20.000Guys, we have a debate on a certain topic that I won't even go into that other people would never touch.
00:14:28.000Giving you guys consistent value, etc.
00:14:30.000And when I stand on this, when I truly say we have saved more lives and saved more men and impacted more men's lives than any other podcast on any platform.
00:14:39.000I can concretely say that thanks to you guys.
00:16:04.000Whether it's the press writing articles on us, videos getting taken down that other channels are not getting taken down and it's the same exact content or whatever it may be.
00:16:14.000Rumble getting hit, right, for free speech.
00:19:49.000As soon as I cancel After Hours, you guys are like, yo, what's going on?
00:19:53.000I get what the show means to a lot of you guys.
00:20:00.000Not only that, but imagine giving up your entire life to support people that you care about.
00:20:09.000Even at the detriment of you losing your job, you having social life, you actually being present at vacations or outside environments, and you say, you know what?
00:20:51.000How we feel, generally, how we feel about, you know, what's happening and, like, all the work that we put into this has been, like, three years.
00:20:58.000And, you know, it's not easy because we gave up a lot.
00:21:02.000And, you know, we made a lot of impact, too, as well, to people.
00:21:09.000And I can't say on camera everything that happened behind the scenes, but if you guys really didn't say what we gave up to keep doing this...
00:21:18.000When you say Elchris, Elmo, Elmira, whatever, like, you understand, at the very beginning, we were going through some terrible things.
00:21:27.000Death threats, people coming at our doorstep, like, you have no idea what we went through to keep this going.
00:21:33.000And then to be not told why we're being taken on the platform like that in the program is kind of crazy because we're putting a lot of work, man, so I just mean, reasons for your support, man.
00:24:42.000Real talk, if you guys truly rock with us, if we've impacted your life, we've saved you, we've helped you out to some degree, Subscribe on Rumble.
00:24:51.000I don't know if they showed y'all how to do it while I was gone.
00:25:15.000And if you want to support me as well, man, join the CEO Network, man, because that's going to be our, always as well, our commitments, our value adds as well, in between everything else.
00:29:34.000Who else is going to give you guys the consistent amount of free value, helping you guys start businesses, helping you guys get attractive, helping you guys get in shape, bringing on guests that other people would never platform?
00:32:10.000You should be able to have this conversation.
00:32:13.000That's how fucking free speech is, man.
00:32:17.000I hope Chris doesn't get mad at me for saying this shit.
00:32:22.000Literally, I've debated him on certain points that we disagree on for hours, and he still says, it doesn't matter, you should be able to say that.
00:32:32.000If that doesn't show that you are pro-free speech, even at the cost of your own maybe belief systems, how you were raised, etc., the guy is ten toes down on free speech, man.
00:32:43.000And that's why they're trying to come after him.
00:34:56.000Like, there's people that literally are depending on us.
00:35:00.000And I'm like, at that point, I was like, this is bigger than me.
00:35:03.000This is bigger than working for the government.
00:35:06.000This is bigger than even putting pedophiles away.
00:35:09.000Like, you know, it was a very satisfying job, but it's like...
00:35:14.000Yes, saving children, saving lives, putting bad people in jail, that's awesome, but dude, how many more people am I going to impact being over here versus being with Homeland?
00:35:26.000I might save two children, but I might save ten dads that have children.
00:35:52.000You can't put a price on saving a child from some weirdo, but I'd be lying if I didn't say that this isn't one of the most satisfying things I've ever done.
00:36:02.000Especially when you guys tell me messages like, to save someone from killing themselves?
00:38:06.000And I betrayed you as well because they give you content that will never help you, but just keep you in that homeostasis of like, oh, I'm happy.
00:38:14.000You're actually sad because you're not where you want to be.
00:38:16.000They're demonetizing us while simultaneously keeping channels up like L3L3. Who isn't teaching you how to lose weight, isn't teaching you how to be better, isn't teaching you critical thinking skills or thought-provoking conversations about certain topics, right?
00:39:37.000Honestly, if I'm going to be a thousand with y'all, I've told you guys this before because you know I've been covering the Trump situation extensively, which I think that might be another reason why this stuff is going on.
00:39:46.000But either way, I told you guys, the only way that Trump is going to be able to beat this is he needs to become President of the United States.
00:43:32.000On the app, you can RubbleRant, but just open up a browser, just like I showed y'all, and on Rumble.com slash FreshFit, you'll see our video, and then you just hit subscribe at the bottom, and we're working out the kinks, guys, but we got it.
00:45:17.000We're going to get going here with the live show with the girls here soon, guys.
00:45:20.000Like I said before, the train doesn't stop.
00:45:22.000Discovered you guys in dark times during my ACL and meniscus recovery, and you guys motivated to be a better man going to a 12-step program.
00:45:30.000Working out every day, getting ready to get back to sales.
00:48:41.000I watched your videos here and there, but started watching you guys religiously about a month ago, and I'm already down 15 pounds of support, folks.
00:49:36.000Like I said before, we want y'all to subscribe so that you guys can support Rumble because Rumble supports us and Rumble is the reason why we're here.
00:49:45.000If it weren't for Rumble, we wouldn't be here.
00:56:37.000I told Mario, get some sleep, bro, because we got a show coming up, but he couldn't sleep with knowing the news.
00:56:42.000I mean, legit, guys, it was very shocking because we were like, damn, right now, of all times, And we came on and we gave you guys the genuine, transparent truth of what happened and we didn't hold back, man.
00:56:57.000There's so many things behind the scenes, guys, that we don't tell you because we don't want to cause panic or chaos and, you know, you got to keep a still face in times of peril.
00:57:05.000But I'd be lying to you guys if I didn't tell you, like, bro, there's like...
