Order of Man - Combat the Government Overreach ｜ FRIDAY FIELD NOTES

00:00:00.000 You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest, embrace your fears, and boldly chart

00:00:04.980 your own path. When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time, every time.

00:00:10.420 You are not easily deterred or defeated, rugged, resilient, strong. This is your life. This is who

00:00:17.220 you are. This is who you will become. At the end of the day, and after all is said and done,

00:00:22.780 you can call yourself a man. Gentlemen, what is going on today? My name is Ryan Michler,

00:00:27.700 and I am the host and the founder of this podcast on the Order of Man movement. I want to welcome

00:00:32.360 you back and welcome you here. We continue to grow in this global pandemic issue of COVID-19 that we're

00:00:40.300 dealing with, and that's a testament to the power of the conversations we're having, the resources

00:00:44.620 we're making available, and everything that we're doing to reclaim and restore what it means to be

00:00:49.940 a man. Guys, I want to talk with you today about combating this wild and inappropriate and frankly

00:00:58.500 dangerous government overreach that we have been experiencing over the past several weeks. Now,

00:01:04.080 I realize as I talk about this, some people are going to say this is too political and they enjoy

00:01:08.880 the Order of Man podcast because we don't get political. The government overreaching our rights

00:01:15.620 should not be a partisan issue. It should be something that all Americans adhere to, agree

00:01:23.840 with, understand, and want to work to combat and come up with some solutions too. So if you think

00:01:29.600 this is too political, I don't know what to tell you. We're going to have the conversations. And in

00:01:33.600 fact, I had somebody reach out on, I believe it was Instagram the other day and say that I shouldn't

00:01:38.420 share anything regarding politics or some of these important issues. And I simply said, you know,

00:01:44.120 what a shame, what a shame if we can't use the powerful platform that we've built over the past

00:01:49.420 five years to talk about relevant and important and crucial conversations that impact you as men,

00:01:57.980 your families, your businesses, and the country as a whole. So we're going to talk about it. I'm not

00:02:03.500 going to shy away from having these conversations because some people are uncomfortable. Now, if you

00:02:08.000 agree, great, we'll discuss it. On the other hand, if you disagree, that's fine too. I understand.

00:02:12.960 But I'd love to hear from you. We can continue this discussion online or in the Facebook group or

00:02:18.160 wherever you're doing the social media thing, but we're going to do it respectfully. And we're

00:02:21.960 going to come up with some solutions. Before I get into this, I'm actually going to touch on this

00:02:26.680 here in a little bit, but I did want to mention that our book, Sovereignty, The Battle for the

00:02:32.740 Hearts and Minds of Men has begun to do very well over the past four weeks. And granted, a lot of people

00:02:38.260 have more time to be able to read and dedicate towards self-improvement. So the book has been

00:02:44.680 picking up. We've got a lot of traction there. And I sold last week, I believe people purchased,

00:02:51.540 it was just over 300 books in a matter of a few hours. So, and those were signed copies. Now,

00:02:57.380 a bunch of you have reached out and said, can I get a signed copy? I'm not going to be ordering

00:03:00.840 any more anytime soon, but here's what you can do because I want to make it available to you.

00:03:05.060 If you go to Amazon and you purchase a copy of Sovereignty, again, The Battle for the Hearts

00:03:10.860 and Minds of Men on Amazon, whether it's the paperback or the hard copy, and then you email

00:03:15.980 store at orderofman.com. Don't send it on social media. Don't do a Twitter post on it or a Facebook

00:03:24.680 message. You've got to send it to store at orderofman.com. And you send us the proof of

00:03:31.880 purchase as well as your physical mailing address. Then I will mail you an insert. Again,

00:03:38.620 you got to purchase that on Amazon, send the proof of purchase with your mailing address

00:03:42.960 to store at orderofman.com. I will send you a signed insert that you can slap in that book.

00:03:47.780 And now you have a signed copy. All right, go check that out. It's a big support to me. And

00:03:51.580 obviously I believe in the message. Hopefully you understand. I believe in the message. We've been

00:03:56.020 sharing it now for five years. If I didn't believe in it, kind of wonder what I've been doing over the

00:04:00.460 past five years here. So let's get into this guys. I'm talking again about combating government

00:04:05.100 overreach. Now it is apparent to me that regardless of what you think about this coronavirus fallout,

00:04:09.980 whether it's all warranted or whether it's misconstrued and taken out of context and blown

00:04:16.720 out of proportion, I think it's pretty evident at this point that there is a huge overreach of

00:04:20.800 government and infringement upon our rights as American citizens. I mean, if you think about this,

00:04:26.620 we have people being fined and arrested for spending time at the beach or camping in the

00:04:35.760 middle of nowhere or on a hike with their family. And these individuals are being tracked down and

00:04:41.560 fined. And in some cases arrested for doing that. I mean, we're talking about social distancing.

00:04:47.100 I mean, what there's nothing more valuable or, or probably more healthy to an individual than going

00:04:53.360 outside, enjoying the outdoors, spending time with their family, distancing themselves from other

00:04:57.620 people. Like if you're at the beach or you're in the middle of nowhere, you're not on top of anybody

00:05:01.640 else. You're not threatening anybody else. You're not spreading this, this virus. You're simply using

00:05:07.080 nature and outdoors the way that it was intended to be utilized and enjoying some time with the people

00:05:12.360 that you love and care about. It's ridiculous. We've got that. We've got the police being militarized

00:05:17.680 in order to enforce some of these ridiculous and nonsensical codes and standards and directives

00:05:26.900 and orders. That's, that's dangerous in and of itself. And, and, and, you know, it's, it's hard

00:05:32.940 because I, I, I really admire and respect the law enforcement community, but I'm seeing them being

00:05:38.740 used not for the good of society, but against society. And what a shame because we have these

00:05:45.460 individuals that I admire and respect, uh, who are going down this path that is not conducive to the

00:05:50.780 freedoms and liberties that thousands and thousands of people have fought and died for. Uh, what else?

00:05:56.740 I mean, there's, gosh, there's so much going on. It's just, it's scary. It is scary. And there needs

00:06:03.880 to be something that, that we do about it. Uh, the other thing is that you see is you see governors who

00:06:08.680 are actually implying that if you are an individual that can rat somebody out for a minor infraction,

00:06:15.100 or infringement against one of these unconstitutional orders that you will be rewarded, uh, for doing

00:06:22.560 so you have companies, private companies, the foundation of, of capitalism, private companies

00:06:30.380 being told what they can and cannot sell from paint to, I even saw one where they, you can't,

00:06:37.120 I think it was a Walmart that couldn't sell, uh, seeds and vegetables. It's like you're, you're

00:06:43.300 telling us we can't buy seeds to grow our own garden. Like how ridiculous is some of this stuff?

00:06:49.920 These are the, these are the same individuals. These politicians, frankly, are the same individuals

00:06:54.340 who they were the, the, the hall monitor in school. And as soon as they got just a little bit, just an

00:07:01.040 inkling of power, they just abused it and, and overreached and thought they were just king shit of

00:07:06.120 everything. Uh, these are the same individuals who are now, uh, running our, our police forces, uh,

00:07:12.840 in, in governing bodies, politicians, senators, lawmakers, uh, it's ridiculous. And we need to put

00:07:19.860 a check on these individuals. Otherwise, uh, we're going to lose a lot of the freedoms and liberties

00:07:24.600 that again, have been fought so hard for over the past 200 plus years now. So the question is,

00:07:30.800 you know, what, what do we do about it? I mean, how do we address this? What is a, what is a practical

00:07:35.660 way to address it? What is a, a, a nonviolent way? I mean, I don't want this to be violent. I don't

00:07:41.060 want this to turn into a civil war. I don't want there to be loss of life and bloodshed over these

00:07:46.280 rights. Um, you know, frankly, it may at some point come to that. I don't think we're there yet.

00:07:50.400 And I hope we don't get to that point. So what I thought I'd do today is break down eight strategies,

00:07:56.180 eight tips, eight things that we can do as individuals, leading our families, leading ourselves,

00:08:00.780 our communities, our businesses, organizations, and then stepping up in the community, what we can

00:08:05.020 do specifically to combat the horrific government overreach, uh, that we've been experiencing over

00:08:12.080 the past eight weeks. And think about that for a second. It's been eight weeks. There's not a lot

00:08:19.320 of time for the economy to be completely shut down for us to lose a lot of our rights for the government

00:08:26.740 to turn our friends and families and neighbors against each other. Like the amount of bickering

00:08:33.060 and bitching and moaning and fighting and backstabbing and all of this stuff is absolutely

00:08:37.800 ridiculous. And it took eight weeks. Imagine if it's over a period of, in a course of eight years.

00:08:44.260 And I feel that will be the case. If we don't make a stand, we don't draw that line in the sand as men

00:08:50.420 and do what we need to do. And frankly, it is on us as men to do it. We have a moral obligation,

00:08:55.400 responsibility as citizens of this country and of moral, uh, stature, moral capability to,

00:09:02.280 to do something about this. Every time there's been a threat or an injustice of this form,

00:09:07.180 uh, an infringement upon rights, it's always been the men who have stepped up to put, put an end to

00:09:11.500 it. And it's our responsibility to take what I've been sharing over the past five years. And what

00:09:16.040 you've learned from the great men who have gone before you to now implement that in order to secure

00:09:21.400 and fight for your rights and your family's rights and the people that you love care about. And

00:09:26.240 frankly, people, you don't know citizens across this, this, uh, this great country. So let's talk

00:09:31.520 about this again. These are eight tips. Number one, self-reliance. I've been talking about this for a

00:09:35.660 very long time. And in fact, as I mentioned my book earlier, sovereignty, the battle for the hearts

00:09:39.280 and minds of men, that is the premise of the book, self-reliance. You need to learn to be reliant

00:09:44.380 upon yourself physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, in all ways, you need to make yourself

00:09:49.180 capable of taking care of yourself. Great example. If you're not able to take care of yourself,

00:09:55.960 because you're overweight, you're out of shape, uh, you've got some other medical conditions that

00:09:59.900 you're dealing with. Well, you have a very real threat of contracting this virus more so than

00:10:04.300 somebody who's, uh, who, who isn't overweight, who's in shape, who doesn't have any of these,

00:10:09.140 uh, immune autoimmune deficiencies or anything like this. Uh, and there's plenty that you can do to

00:10:14.240 lose weight, to diet, to eat right, to get plenty of sleep, to not, uh, increase unnecessary levels

00:10:19.620 of, of cortisol, uh, release in your body. There's all sorts of things that you can do.

00:10:23.920 And we know what these things are. Healthy individuals have a lower contraction rate and

00:10:29.140 a lower death rate. When it comes to COVID-19, this isn't new information. Uh, financially,

00:10:34.900 if you're relying upon the government or relying upon other people or relying upon financial institutions

00:10:40.180 for your wellbeing, the fact of the matter is you're going to receive the scraps that are left

00:10:45.100 over. This isn't about equalization. This isn't about making sure that everybody gets the right

00:10:49.880 amount. When, when we talk about that, uh, the, the global population, or at least the American

00:10:55.440 population getting an equal amount, what that means is that everybody gets less than they actually need.

00:11:00.460 And what happens is we become dependent on the powers that would be, who would love nothing more than

00:11:05.420 to see us rely upon, uh, them for everything that they need or we need. It's like, uh, was it Oliver

00:11:12.160 who says he goes up with a bowl of soup and says, please, sir, can I have some more? That's you.

00:11:16.900 That's me. That's our children and our grandchildren, uh, begging for more food, begging for more provisions.

00:11:24.100 If we don't learn to take care of ourselves. So you have to make yourself capable and self-reliant

00:11:30.000 in all ways. Do you have money set aside? Are you paying off debt? Are you getting in shape?

00:11:35.160 Are you developing and learning new skills? Uh, are you taking this moment in time where

00:11:40.520 frankly, there's, this is an opportunity to take a business and now make it a digital business to go

00:11:47.680 into business for yourself, to develop a skill or a capability that you can sell and you can offer

00:11:52.300 that's valuable that other people will pay for. What a great opportunity we have to reset and really

00:11:58.840 consider, are we completely self-reliant or are there things that we're dependent on? Because if we're

00:12:04.140 dependent on other things that are beyond our control, when that little spigot gets turned off

00:12:09.200 and it will, it'll either get turned down or turned off completely. And we don't know how to

00:12:13.460 deal with this ourselves. This is the old, the old, uh, the adage of the Eagle, you know, that's out in

00:12:18.620 the wilderness and, and gets injured, right? Breaks its wing. And somebody goes out there and rescues it

00:12:23.800 and brings it back and bandages it up and nurses that Eagle back to health. Very noble of that

00:12:29.260 individual to do. But you know what, if you keep that Eagle in captivity for too long, it will never

00:12:35.220 be reintroduced to society, uh, to the wilderness because it's not capable of dealing with the

00:12:42.540 hardships and the stressors and the things that, that come up in life as just the, the dynamic of

00:12:49.020 being a human being. So don't allow yourself to get into that position, be sovereign, be responsible,

00:12:54.900 take ownership of your life and make yourself capable, uh, in all ways every single day, more

00:13:01.260 capable, more capable, more capable. Number two, educate yourselves. All right. We've been

00:13:06.960 entertained long enough and we've been distracted by Netflix shows and all these other little

00:13:11.020 distractions and drugs and alcohol and pornography. And these are all things that are designed to

00:13:17.420 numb you and also designed to get you addicted to being entertained. You know, you look at kids,

00:13:24.400 even my own kids. It's like, if they're bored for five minutes, they're, they're bouncing off the

00:13:28.700 walls and they're being destructive and they're bothering their siblings and they're bothering us

00:13:33.780 in a lot of ways and being annoying. I mean, because they're, they're so used to being entertained and

00:13:38.680 so are you. So instead of worrying about so much entertainment, why don't you worry more about

00:13:43.400 education, specifically how this government is set up specifically politics and what politicians are

00:13:48.760 doing and how our structure is organized and also history. These types of things have happened in the

00:13:54.000 past. Freedoms have been stripped away in the not so distant past. We need to remember what these

00:14:00.300 lessons are. We need to understand these lessons. We need to look at them objectively and analyze them

00:14:05.200 and ask ourselves, is this the path that we're traveling? Are we going down the same route? And I

00:14:10.480 believe we are slowly and systematically, but certainly methodically. And most of us are so

00:14:16.380 distracted. We're so sedated with these other entertainment outlets that we won't get into the

00:14:24.960 battle and we won't educate ourselves and we won't gain knowledge and understanding about what is

00:14:29.980 actually happening. And then in five years or 10 years, I fear that we'll turn around and wonder

00:14:34.920 what happened. And these are the same individuals say, I was, I was blindsided. Yeah. You were blindsided

00:14:41.120 because you were distracted. Whether that was intentionally or unintentionally, you were

00:14:45.980 distracted. You weren't engaged. You weren't learning. You weren't growing. You weren't expanding.

00:14:50.880 You weren't gaining new information. You weren't looking at historical evidence of what happens when

00:14:55.400 our rights are infringed upon. So educate yourself, listen to podcasts, read books, read the constitution,

00:15:02.100 the declaration of independence, like understand American history, understand French and German history

00:15:07.500 and things that have gone wrong in the past so that we can keep ourselves from falling into the

00:15:11.160 same traps that people did before. It is your obligation and responsibility to ensure that you do

00:15:16.600 so. Number three, get elected. All right, get into politics, whether that's at the community level or the

00:15:23.380 state or federal level. Like we need to put ourselves in positions of power within these law enforcement

00:15:29.720 agencies, within our governing bodies, within our school districts, the more authority and power that we

00:15:36.500 have as sovereign men, as individuals who are strong and bold and capable and moral, the more that we

00:15:43.560 can oust these rats and these traitors within our midst. And there are plenty of them. I also believe

00:15:49.240 there's a lot of good individuals in the law enforcement communities and in politics as well, that there are

00:15:54.160 good individuals, but it seems to me that they're being overrun and overlooked by the thugs and the

00:16:00.660 criminals who would love nothing more than to have all the power to consolidate that power and

00:16:06.440 make us their slaves, their robots, their cogs in their wheels. All right, this is a very dangerous

00:16:16.060 precedent that's being set. And we overturn this by stepping into these political offices and positions

00:16:22.800 of leadership and authority. Number four, assemble peacefully. We have the right as American citizens to

00:16:29.160 assemble peacefully, to organize rallies and protest, to get large groups of individuals together, to make our

00:16:38.580 collective voice heard and known and understood, and maybe even feared a little bit. That, uh, that element of

00:16:47.020 fear by the powers would be, that would be is a good thing. They need to be on their heels. They need to be

00:16:52.860 afraid. They need to understand that the power is not with them, but the power is with the people. And if we can

00:16:58.240 consolidate that power amongst ourselves and we can organize and we can rally and we can protest and we

00:17:03.660 can get together by the hundreds of thousands, if not millions and millions of people, then these

00:17:08.340 individuals lose their power. They lose their authority. They lose what it is they want, which is

00:17:14.620 the absolute power and say over everything, the way, the way everything is dictated and how we live our

00:17:21.500 lives. We need to rally together. We need to organize. We need to assemble. We need to fight against

00:17:27.000 vocally and peacefully against the things that are happening right now. Number five, we need to hold

00:17:34.980 our politicians and media accountable for spreading false information and using deceitful strategies.

00:17:44.520 Again, this goes back to what I was talking about earlier, where so many people just want to be

00:17:49.340 entertained and they just want to have fun and they just want things to, to be, to be joyful and

00:17:54.800 entertaining and then sedate themselves from the reality of the life in which they live. Mostly

00:17:59.180 because so many people are miserable. They're miserable with their work. They're miserable with

00:18:03.180 their jobs. They're miserable, miserable from a health perspective. And so they've got to distract

00:18:08.080 themselves from the misery that they've created for themselves. This is why all of these things are so

00:18:13.040 important, but we have to hold these, the media and these politicians accountable by replacing them,

00:18:19.620 by calling them out, by putting them on blast, by organizing against them, by not allowing them to

00:18:26.080 get away with the nonsense that they've shared and perpetuated over the past eight weeks. It's

00:18:30.960 absolutely ridiculous. And I'm not talking about on one side of the aisle or the other. I'm just

00:18:35.500 talking about deceitful strategies, lies, bold face lies to deceive and manipulate the American public.

00:18:44.200 It's, it's, it's, it's disgusting. And we need to ensure that if somebody, you know, here's another

00:18:52.580 example. Uh, there was several senators who, uh, have been engaging in insider trading. This was about

00:19:02.480 a month or so ago. I haven't heard anything about it for the past four weeks. Why? Because we've been

00:19:07.180 distracted. These senators and lawmakers have been engaging in insider trading at our expense.

00:19:15.020 They've saved millions. They've made millions because they're using information that we,

00:19:20.360 the public are not privy to, to make their own personal gains. That should be that there should

00:19:27.740 be a public call from every member or every citizen of this country for those senators to step down.

00:19:37.080 And we need to hold them accountable and responsibility and responsible and say that this is not acceptable

00:19:42.360 anymore. This is not acceptable behavior. We will not allow you to continue to run the country. We

00:19:47.560 will not allow you to dictate the laws of this land and how this is going to work and how America

00:19:54.340 as a country and a society is going to be run. It's not going to be run by you. You have proven to us

00:20:00.460 that you are out of integrity and that you're incapable of leading with any sense of morality.

00:20:05.340 Now I realize that people make mistakes and some mistakes are understandable and some mistakes can

00:20:11.760 be overcome and some mistakes cannot, and some aren't mistakes at all. Some are blatant lies and

00:20:18.800 deceit to gain while millions and millions of Americans suffer. And they have been suffering over

00:20:26.120 the past eight weeks while there's those who sit on their high horse and don't suffer at all.

00:20:30.220 Those people need to be ousted. Number six, purchase American goods and services. It's clear to me that

00:20:37.160 we become so dependent globally on this, this global infrastructure that if something goes wrong, or we

00:20:43.740 have an enemy that would like to see the demise and the destruction of this American life, that they 0.63

00:20:50.980 will do anything, that they will say anything in order to ensure that that happens, even at the risk of

00:20:57.920 their own population. It's not okay at this point to continue to support organizations that support

00:21:06.980 terrorism companies and countries that are direct odds with the values and the beliefs that we have

00:21:14.740 as American citizens. We have to support American goods, products, and services. And not only does it

00:21:22.580 create a new sense of independence from what may be going on in countries that are at direct odds with

00:21:28.800 the way that we choose to live our life, it also reignites the economy. We need to seriously consider

00:21:35.040 reopening this economy. Because I think at this point, the, the attempted cure or solution to the

00:21:44.660 COVID-19 issues could actually be worse than the fallout and the ramifications of COVID-19 itself. We need to

00:21:55.380 reignite the economy. Otherwise we will see catastrophic loss. We will see increasing death rates, suicide,

00:22:03.700 depression, anxiety, and it's something that's so crippling that we could potentially never recover from. Now I'm not

00:22:11.480 saying be stupid. I'm not saying open the entire economy. I'm not even saying open the economy right

00:22:16.880 now, but we need to have some serious discussions about how we're going to reignite this country and

00:22:22.060 how we're going to put people back to work, hundreds of millions of people back to work so that they can

00:22:28.520 provide for their families, for their neighbors, for their loved ones, for themselves, and live the American

00:22:33.820 dream of liberty, independence, and the right to pursue what it is they're interested in pursuing.

00:22:39.740 Uh, we need to purchase these American goods and services. So ask yourself the companies that

00:22:44.860 you're working with, the products that you're buying, what does their supply chain look like?

00:22:49.300 Where are their products made? Do they have factories and warehouses? Do they here in the

00:22:54.420 States, do they employ American citizens or has it all been outsourced? Now I realized that at this

00:22:59.400 point, maybe it's going to be more expensive, but you know what? That's something that we're going to

00:23:03.280 seriously have to consider because there's a cost. There's a cost to cheaper goods and services.

00:23:09.300 And the cost is potentially giving away some of our freedom and our independence. And of course,

00:23:14.620 our sovereignty, like I've been talking about earlier, because now you can see we're at the

00:23:18.160 mercy of, of China in this case. And, and tens of thousands of, of American citizens have died

00:23:26.940 because of some of these issues. This is a big deal. Number seven, do not be entertained or even

00:23:33.980 accept the breads and circuses. You are being distracted. You are being manipulated. So when you get a

00:23:39.280 $1,200 check in the mail, although I realize or into your bank account, which is also scary. If you

00:23:44.420 think about, if that check is directly deposited into your bank account, that should be a scary thing

00:23:50.700 because if it's deposited there, it could be taken out of there as well. Be aware of that. Not enough

00:23:55.240 people are talking about that by the way, but if $1,200 is going to help you put groceries in the,

00:24:02.060 in the fridge, food in your kid's belly, a roof over your family's head, then I'm glad that will help.

00:24:07.560 But understand that isn't a fix. That isn't a solution. Will it help? Sure. I think it'll

00:24:13.220 help a lot of people, but getting your own money back is not a solution to the issues that we're

00:24:19.700 dealing with. And if we start to rely so heavily upon the government to give us our own money back

00:24:25.040 or even somebody else's money, because I'm not going to get that $1,200. So somebody else is getting my

00:24:31.100 money, the money that I worked hard to earn and the money that, uh, that I created the value that I

00:24:37.800 gave that's been taken by the government. And now it's going to be divvied up to somebody else.

00:24:44.180 That's dangerous. That's scary. That's a problem. That's an issue that needs to be addressed.

00:24:47.940 And we're being entertained. We're being thrown bread and circuses. And all the while, these little

00:24:53.740 things are happening in the background. And most of us aren't even aware because we're so

00:24:57.480 entertained with, with the media and Trump and how this is playing out. And, and none of it is

00:25:04.560 relevant. It's all just, it's a show. It's a show to keep us from seeing what's going on behind the

00:25:11.380 curtain. And the more that we engage in it, the more that we are docile and entertained by it,

00:25:17.800 the more that can happen behind the curtain while we're not looking, while we're not paying attention.

00:25:22.900 And if you're distracted by money or entertainment or the media and all these other little games

00:25:29.320 they're playing, then you won't see what's really going on behind the curtain. Do not allow yourself

00:25:34.700 to be bought and paid for by the bread and circuses or entertained and docile by those bread and

00:25:40.420 circuses. And the last one, the last point I wanted to share with you guys today is being,

00:25:46.380 being a man of integrity, being a man of your word, having conviction and values,

00:25:53.840 things that you will stand by, things that you will fight for, things that you stand for,

00:26:00.260 things you will stand against. When you say you'll do something, no matter how trivial you follow

00:26:05.560 through and you do it, you implement all these other seven steps that I shared today. When you do

00:26:11.480 that, you will create influence with other people. Other people will see that you are a man of value,

00:26:17.740 that you are a leader, that you do have conviction, that you can lead in the right direction and they

00:26:22.400 will follow you. Times like this require leaders and you can be the leader. You should be the leader.

00:26:30.220 You should have a desire to lead in some capacity. There's so many wonderful opportunities to lead your

00:26:39.080 family, lead community members, lead your colleagues and your coworkers and business.

00:26:43.660 But it starts with being a man of your word. That's the foundation. It starts with integrity

00:26:47.820 is if you're out of integrity, if you say one thing and do another, then people aren't going to be led

00:26:53.780 by you. They may comply because they're obligated to, right? Like an employee may do what you tell them

00:26:58.820 to do because they don't want to lose their job, but you don't want that. You want true influence.

00:27:03.820 You want to buy in. You want people to voluntarily follow you. That's what leadership is.

00:27:08.340 Is getting people to a place that they could not have imagined going on their own and you leading

00:27:14.880 the path, you trailblazing that for them, you showing them what's possible. And they'll see

00:27:19.860 that when you create it for yourself, it all starts with self-leadership and self-leadership is about

00:27:25.040 integrity. It's about doing the things that you say you will do. It's about bridging the gap between

00:27:29.680 what you know and what you think about yourself and how that actually manifests by the way that you

00:27:34.600 show up, by the actions that you take, by the things that you do. It's critical, critical that

00:27:40.200 we live as men of integrity. So those are my eight steps, guys. This is phase one, by the way. All

00:27:46.280 right. I hope that phase one works. I hope that we get to begin to regain some control, that we put

00:27:54.400 some of these lawmakers and politicians in check, that we begin to, at a minimum, consider how we're

00:28:00.580 going to open this economy back up and reignite that we establish ourselves as a country, as a

00:28:05.540 dominant power. Once again, that people not fear, but respect, respect who we are as a country, who

00:28:12.660 we are as people individually. It all starts with you. It starts with these seven steps. Hopefully we

00:28:17.960 don't need to move to phase two or three or four. Hopefully we can put an end to it right now, but

00:28:21.860 the longer we wait, the harder it becomes. We bury our heads in the sand. We allow ourselves to be

00:28:27.580 entertained and distracted. This will become increasingly more difficult. And we will see

00:28:35.100 these problems increase exponentially. Let me recap for you. And then we'll call it a day. Number

00:28:40.180 one, become self-reliant and capable in all ways, financially, physically, mentally, emotionally,

00:28:46.100 spiritually. Number two, get educated. Stop worrying about being entertained and get educated

00:28:52.580 specifically on American history, global history, and politics. Very important that we do it. Number

00:28:58.540 three, get yourself elected or those individuals you believe in men like you elected in positions of

00:29:04.760 authority and power. Number four, assemble peacefully, exercise that right to congregate,

00:29:10.120 to show up in mass so that your voice will be heard. Number five, hold our media and our politicians

00:29:17.680 accountable for spreading misinformation and using deceitful strategies to manipulate us.

00:29:24.140 Number six, purchase, excuse me, purchase American goods, products, and services. Let's gain some of

00:29:31.020 that independence. Number seven, do not be distracted and entertained and even bought and paid for by the

00:29:37.740 bread and circuses. Look, everything comes with strings attached. At $1,200, there's strings attached.

00:29:43.680 Any other handout that you receive, there's strings attached. You may not see them. You may choose not

00:29:48.700 to acknowledge them, but they're there. So you better be aware that if you're going to accept

00:29:53.160 the bread and circuses, that there's strings attached, and you may figure out what those are

00:29:57.620 down the road and not like what those strings are. Number eight, integrity. Be a man of your word,

00:30:02.680 be a man of conviction, lead and influence and inspire other people to believe in you so that they

00:30:10.080 will follow you and that you can act on the morals that you have. You can carry out what you believe

00:30:18.580 to be important. I think most of us do. Again, I don't think this is a partisan issue. I think for

00:30:23.780 the most part, the overwhelming majority of Americans want freedom and liberty and independence.

00:30:28.900 They want to be left alone. They want to have some good experiences. They want some romance in their

00:30:32.660 life. They want to raise kids. They want to start businesses. They want to add value. They want to have

00:30:36.680 experiences and learn new things. These are universal values that I think most Americans have.

00:30:43.000 And those are being systematically and methodically stripped away from us by using this, this fallout

00:30:49.780 from Corona virus as a perfect cloak to exercise some of the things that have, they've always wanted

00:30:57.000 to exercise. And now is the perfect time to do it. While we're distracted and afraid and fearful,

00:31:02.380 open your eyes. All right. Open your eyes to what's going on. I'm not saying that Corona virus is a

00:31:08.640 hoax, but I'm saying this is blown out of proportion. And this, this moment in time is being used as an

00:31:14.540 opportunity to manipulate. I think we'll find out over the coming years, the coming decades, what this

00:31:22.360 was really about. And we'll either be in a better position because the alarms were sounded and we heard

00:31:28.040 and we stepped up or we'll find ourselves and our children and our grandchildren will find themselves

00:31:32.940 in a worse position because we refuse to, we failed to, or we were incapable of dealing with

00:31:41.180 the issues that we saw. All right, guys, that's it. Please also share this. Obviously this is an

00:31:45.480 important one today. Share this with anybody who needs to share with everybody, not people that just

00:31:50.880 need to hear it. Share it with everybody. Everybody needs to hear this message. And, uh, it's,

00:31:54.940 it's critical. It's crucial. We're at a very crucial point. Um, we need to do something about

00:31:59.620 combating this, uh, this government overreach in this time. And I'm counting on you to help me to

00:32:05.280 stand in this battle with me. And it is a battle and it will be a battle. Uh, please stand with me,

00:32:11.080 share these strategies, employ these strategies in your own life. And I think we'll be better for it.

00:32:16.080 All right, guys, we're going to wrap things up. I'll be back, uh, next week for another interview

00:32:19.980 and our ask me anything in a Friday field notes. We've got them all. So subscribe,

00:32:22.880 leave a rating review, share this with people. We all need to hear it. We need to embrace it and

00:32:27.560 we need to apply it in our lives. All right, guys, we'll catch you next week. Until then,

00:32:31.640 go out there, take action and be the man you are meant to be. Thank you for listening to the

00:32:36.320 order of man podcast. You're ready to take charge of your life and be more of the man you were meant
