00:01:00.340 tell you right now man, congrats to Vaughn and Kasha, they had their newest baby here last

00:01:07.480 week, congrats Vaughn, I will tell you, the hardest thing about being in lockdown is having

00:01:16.960 fucking kids, 100% really, I wouldn't know, oh dude, dude, there is no escape, there is

00:01:24.960 zero, zero, can't go to a park, they close all our parks, dude, what the fuck, so anyway,

00:01:30.980 can't even walk, we got an intro everybody because Vaughn's not here so we have like our,

00:01:36.460 I don't know what we want to call it, this is the audible podcast, yeah this is the audible

00:01:39.760 crew, we got DJ, DJ what's your Instagram, at DL Johnson, DL Johnson, and then we got

00:01:48.320 Joe, our audio producer for the podcast, what's up brother, what's your Instagram, it's joseph

00:01:53.760 underscore young STL, joseph underscore, and I follow you now, that's right, thank you, Joe

00:01:59.260 you finally following the crew, yeah, I got big leaked, yeah, so obviously the topic of

00:02:06.180 discussion, which has been for the last month, you know, is COVID and Corona, Corona, COVID-19,

00:02:15.240 Wuhan, China, China, China, China, you know, and look, before we get into the podcast, look

00:02:25.720 man, this is a realist podcast, so you might not agree with everything that we're going to

00:02:30.800 talk about today, but understand that we're taking this serious, regardless of what we

00:02:36.360 end up saying, which I don't even know where the fuck this is going to go, but understand

00:02:40.820 that we're all taking it very serious, and we're all making sure that we abide by all

00:02:44.420 the guidelines, people in our own communities get through this, so we might make some jokes

00:02:51.740 and we might tease and all that, but I want everybody to know, you know.

00:02:54.860 Well, I think it's extremely important, especially from a business operating standpoint, we didn't

00:02:58.600 wait a day, even when the soft quarantine was in effect, we mobilized our entire unit.

00:03:02.320 No, we had to.

00:03:03.140 We took every precaution, we separated our warehouse crew, you know, we typically pack

00:03:08.440 50, 60 guys at a time, we shut it down to 10-man shifts over 24 hours, the guys aren't

00:03:15.580 getting as many hours, but we're maintaining their average pay over the course of time,

00:03:19.740 we've separated them, we've taken every precaution, so.

00:03:22.000 I mean, dude, we're in a good, we're in a fortunate enough position where, you know,

00:03:25.720 we're established enough after 21 years to really, and we're still fluid enough and flexible

00:03:32.240 enough to really take care of the people who are part of the company, but man, not everybody

00:03:37.580 has that opportunity, you know.

00:03:38.940 No, it's been hard to see, it's hard to see.

00:03:40.640 Very hard.

00:03:41.360 And I think we should dive down that realm.

00:03:43.540 I just, I want people to know that, you know, I think we're, you know, we like to have fun,

00:03:48.160 and I don't want that fun to be transluded in the light that we're not.

00:03:51.180 We don't care.

00:03:51.880 We don't care.

00:03:52.380 All right, no, dude, look, man, here's the bottom line, you know, in times like these,

00:03:56.340 dude, when shit's bad, if you don't have somewhat of a sense of humor about shit, you're going

00:04:01.140 to go crazy, because, like, this is, dude, this is terrible, you know, the health aspect

00:04:08.520 aside, you know, people dying, and, you know, I've gotten a lot of heat lately, because I've

00:04:14.060 been vocal about the media and how they're portraying the situation and the statistics,

00:04:19.760 and, you know, if you look at the statistics of this, you know, it's a pandemic.

00:04:27.300 That's what we have every four to five years, we have one.

00:04:31.060 Yeah.

00:04:31.380 And, yeah, we, you know, and this is something that we go through as people, and I think it's

00:04:37.460 important to remember that.

00:04:38.500 This isn't the first pandemic we've ever been through.

00:04:40.740 This is the first time the media has blown it up into, like, you're all going to die shit,

00:04:45.500 you know, everybody's going to die, it's got everybody scared, it's got people doing irrational

00:04:50.240 things, and that's what happens when people are scared, and, you know, I've gotten a lot

00:04:54.900 of heat, because I've talked a lot about the business aspect.

00:04:58.720 Well, the reason that I talk about the business aspect is because that's where I'm at.

00:05:03.120 I'm in the business, and I have, you know, a couple thousand entrepreneurs that add my letting

00:05:08.300 myself coach, and I'm fielding phone calls consistently over the last month of people that are so

00:05:14.480 distraught about their businesses, like, dude, they're not just depressed, I mean, some of

00:05:19.500 these people are, like, on the edge, man.

00:05:21.760 Well, contemplating suicide, I mean, it's a big deal, and I think, you know, when you

00:05:25.520 look at our president as of today, was it the 8th?

00:05:28.820 Is my date correct?

00:05:30.600 It's the 7th.

00:05:31.920 You know, he has a COVID health medical campaign, and he's actually advising a business campaign

00:05:37.860 or a business, you know, advisory board, because it's a huge fucking deal.

00:05:41.560 Yeah.

00:05:41.760 You know, you shut the world down, the U.S. economy is, it's the world's economy.

00:05:46.580 Yeah.

00:05:46.840 You know, and we're starting to see, like, okay, the government-

00:05:49.920 Well, it definitely leads the economy, I mean, 100%.

00:05:53.000 And we're, dude, we're, as a country, we're in uncharted waters, and it's going to take,

00:05:58.620 there's not one person that has the answer.

00:06:01.100 There is multiple people that need to come together, and we need to get through this as

00:06:07.420 a unit, you know, and I think that's the most important thing that we can come up with

00:06:10.480 is, hey, listen, like, how the fuck do we get through this faster, as fast as physically

00:06:16.240 possible, with as few people that die-

00:06:18.720 Correct.

00:06:19.260 Without shutting the world off.

00:06:20.800 Yeah.

00:06:21.060 You know what I mean?

00:06:21.920 And that's a tough fucking spot.

00:06:23.640 No, it is.

00:06:24.820 It is, dude.

00:06:25.580 You've got to play God.

00:06:26.360 No, and look, in the political climate of today's scenario, with the media, and the

00:06:33.760 way that they do not like our president, it's really, I can, I feel really bad for him because

00:06:39.740 he's in a situation where if he really says the truth, he's going to get blasted forever.

00:06:46.100 Blasted.

00:06:46.460 Yeah, and those deaths and all that shit is going to be on his hand, because the truth

00:06:51.040 of the matter is, and this is the fucking truth, the statistics do not warrant, okay,

00:06:57.100 now, I am fully aware they could not be telling us the whole truth, all right, but the statistics

00:07:02.440 that are available as of today, okay, where 11,000 people have died in the United States

00:07:08.500 do not warrant shutting down a 330 million fucking person economy.

00:07:14.160 They just don't.

00:07:15.000 And unless there's some things that we don't know, for example, a million people died in

00:07:21.840 China and not a couple thousand, that's possible, dude.

00:07:26.500 We don't know that.

00:07:27.360 But I don't believe that the rest of the countries are lying as well.

00:07:31.320 You know, we have, you know, how many deaths in Italy right now?

00:07:36.780 It's, what is that?

00:07:38.720 17,000 deaths in a 60 million person, a 62 million person country where they have a high

00:07:45.440 population of elderly.

00:07:47.320 It's common for the elderly and grandparents to live with a normal family and see the young

00:07:52.280 kids.

00:07:52.760 And dude, this is a very tricky thing because most people that carry this virus don't show

00:07:57.860 the symptoms.

00:07:58.500 And that's the problem that we have going on right now is, you know, it can spread so fast

00:08:03.340 and it can cause just enough damage to people to require hospitalization.

00:08:09.480 And if the hospitals are overrun, they can't care for people.

00:08:13.220 And then people die that shouldn't die.

00:08:15.460 Well, and then other people die of ancillary complications, right?

00:08:18.120 What happens?

00:08:18.420 You're just a regular guy.

00:08:19.140 You have a heart attack.

00:08:20.160 Now you can't go to the hospital.

00:08:21.060 Yeah, right.

00:08:21.520 You know what I mean?

00:08:21.900 So there's a, there's a log flume that happens because of it, but you're starting to see it.

00:08:25.620 It's happening in the, obviously the high traffic areas, Chicago, New York, LA, San Francisco.

00:08:30.380 Well, guess what?

00:08:31.100 It also has a high population of Asian travel.

00:08:33.360 They're all international airports, right?

00:08:34.940 You know, so you're starting to see, and, and it's easy to say in retrospect, well, we

00:08:38.460 should have done this and we should have done that.

00:08:40.160 Well, but we should move forward.

00:08:41.960 We, we, we kind of have the topic right now.

00:08:44.700 You know, I'm observing, I've been saying from the beginning, what I thought this was,

00:08:49.380 and I got destroyed on the internet for it.

00:08:51.680 And that's fine.

00:08:52.880 I don't have to, not everybody has to agree with me.

00:08:55.600 I see things.

00:08:56.860 I'm good at seeing things between the lines.

00:08:59.000 And, um, when I observe what's going on here, uh, I see a lot of stuff that isn't surface

00:09:06.020 level going on.

00:09:06.940 I'll just say it like that.

00:09:08.140 And a lot of people think that's conspiracy.

00:09:09.500 It's not conspiracy.

00:09:11.060 I'm looking at the data.

00:09:12.340 I'm looking at what the news organizations are saying.

00:09:14.520 One of the biggest problems that we have right now is that people think that the news that

00:09:19.580 the CNN and the Foxes and MSNBCs is the actual news.

00:09:24.240 Those people have agendas and they are, those corporations are owned by individuals who have

00:09:30.340 agendas.

00:09:30.720 And if you just sat back and watch the stories and instead of like saying, yes, this person

00:09:36.180 makes sense, or yes, this doesn't make sense.

00:09:38.520 Step back and sort of think of it like this.

00:09:40.820 What is this person trying to sell me and judge their performance?

00:09:46.580 Like, that's how I look at it.

00:09:47.920 I'm like, okay, I'm watching Fox or I'm watching CNN or I'm watching MSNBC.

00:09:52.520 I'm looking at it like, okay, what are these people adding on the end or the beginning of

00:09:58.040 the news that makes us like be tilted towards their viewpoint?

00:10:03.440 Correct.

00:10:03.920 And that's how I, you know, that's where you, but people don't watch it like that.

00:10:07.520 And I would encourage everybody who's listening to this, who thinks like, oh yeah, dude, that

00:10:12.060 sounds conspiracy that the media doesn't, the big, large media outlets have our best

00:10:16.380 interests in mind.

00:10:18.140 Just watch them and pay attention.

00:10:20.160 I mean, all of that, you can, I mean, you could really just track it, go back in history,

00:10:23.660 watch some of the old stuff.

00:10:24.580 I mean, before this Corona stuff and you'll be able to tell then just any topic, pick any

00:10:28.360 topic and you'll be able to see.

00:10:29.500 Well, I think it's unethical from the media standpoint during a time like this to drive

00:10:34.960 an agenda.

00:10:35.520 And I think that's the scary thing.

00:10:37.340 You know, the scary thing is here are these media outlets.

00:10:39.720 Well, it's not just the media, bro.

00:10:41.000 We got the, we got fucking, we got people who are out of work, out of a job, their companies

00:10:46.700 are closing.

00:10:47.400 And then we have an entire fucking party that opposes the Republican party.

00:10:52.580 Okay.

00:10:53.220 Whatever party you like or dislike, I don't really give a fuck.

00:10:55.820 But the fact that we have one party trying to slide in all this shit and holding up the

00:11:01.420 aid, dude, that's wrong.

00:11:03.340 I think Nancy Pelosi, if, if, if Andrew's referring to them holding up the financial bill and Nancy

00:11:09.420 Pelosi trying to slide in her, her agendas for green energy and $30 million for the Kennedy

00:11:15.720 Center and she's holding up aid to the American people, mind you, which those three, four,

00:11:19.980 five days are playing crucial times right now.

00:11:23.420 They've lost touch.

00:11:24.340 Yeah.

00:11:24.540 They've lost touch and it's, you know, playing the American, that's both parties.

00:11:27.920 No, no, I'm with you.

00:11:28.580 This is not, but I'm just saying, let's look in, in recent history.

00:11:33.180 Think of the selfishness.

00:11:34.640 Think of the hatred.

00:11:35.920 Think of, think of how you could use the American people as pawns.

00:11:40.800 Bro, they look at us like we're ants and that's bullshit.

00:11:43.380 Yeah, I know.

00:11:43.820 I agree.

00:11:44.480 The fucking taxpayer.

00:11:45.780 Yeah.

00:11:46.300 You know what?

00:11:46.980 And there's, here she is trying to drive an agenda.

00:11:49.200 We're a fucking ant farm and they're fucking making the rules about that.

00:11:52.520 That's it.

00:11:53.060 And like, dude, it's fucking wrong.

00:11:55.120 These people are so fucking out of touch, dude, of what it's like for the average American.

00:12:00.240 Like whether you're dealing with the hospitals right now because your family's sick or you're sick or whether you're dealing with not having a job or not having a company anymore or being on pause and not knowing what's going to happen.

00:12:11.200 These people, I'm convinced, I have lost touch with what's that like.

00:12:15.860 They have no idea.

00:12:16.580 Well, they certainly don't give a fuck about it.

00:12:17.760 They're getting paid their full amount regardless.

00:12:20.240 They're still taking, you know, little breaks, you know, oh, we'll resume.

00:12:24.700 Dude, these motherfuckers should be in session 24 hours a day right now until it's fixed.

00:12:29.140 That's right.

00:12:29.800 I do.

00:12:30.060 The only, the only good political conversation I heard was Kennedy out of Louisiana.

00:12:33.740 He said, this country was founded by fucking geniuses and it's being run by fucking morons.

00:12:38.960 Well, dude, I saw.

00:12:40.240 Yeah, that's fucking true, too.

00:12:41.580 You're right.

00:12:41.960 I saw last night one of the state reps, a Democratic rep from, I think it was Ohio maybe, black woman, got COVID, right, took the hydroxychloroquine that they're trying to, that they're, you know, for some reason, not everybody wants that shit out there, okay, even though it's cheap and generally safe and apparently works pretty well.

00:13:09.240 They say the evidence is anecdotal.

00:13:11.020 Well, let's, let's talk about that for a second.

00:13:14.120 Anecdotal evidence means you're getting real world results.

00:13:16.420 That means that Joe says it works.

00:13:18.440 DJ says it works.

00:13:19.800 Sal says it works, but we don't have any science studies.

00:13:23.240 Two years.

00:13:23.840 Okay.

00:13:24.160 Two years.

00:13:24.920 So it makes me wonder what the fuck are these people thinking?

00:13:30.200 Because we have this woman on TV who's a Democrat.

00:13:33.620 I believe that's her.

00:13:35.420 Oh, no, that's not her there.

00:13:36.720 Um, she was sick and she took the hydroxychloroquine and then got better.

00:13:43.960 And she was online last night praising, praising Trump for making it available.

00:13:47.540 And dude, that's the kind of shit that we got to see right now.

00:13:50.280 We have someone who's a Democrat who probably generally doesn't really care for fucking Donald Trump.

00:13:55.980 Yeah.

00:13:56.440 Who says, okay.

00:13:57.560 Says, you know what?

00:13:59.160 Regardless of what my feelings are, dude, that drug helped me.

00:14:02.280 And you guys should be at least giving it a try.

00:14:04.740 Dude, this is not about politics and it's not about party lines.

00:14:09.180 And it's not about who did what or who, who has what agenda or who believes what this is

00:14:15.360 about stopping people from getting fucking sick so that they don't get sick and die.

00:14:20.720 And we can move back to being a normal country.

00:14:23.800 It's about us.

00:14:24.920 The ants telling those people to fuck off.

00:14:27.320 Yeah.

00:14:27.600 That's the truth.

00:14:28.380 You know what I mean?

00:14:28.960 I'm telling you right now, if I got it, knock on wood, I'm at least giving that shit a shot.

00:14:34.380 You know what I'm saying?

00:14:35.820 Like I was, I was watching the debate and they're like, would you take it?

00:14:39.360 It was, uh, it was, uh, out of these two guys where one was bashing Trump, one was supporting

00:14:43.540 me.

00:14:43.680 It is what it is.

00:14:44.120 He's like, well, if you got it, would you take it?

00:14:45.880 And he wouldn't answer the question.

00:14:46.960 He's like, I'd listen to my doctor's advice.

00:14:48.440 And I'm sitting here thinking, man, I'm going to tell you right now, I forget.

00:14:51.220 I was watching, cause I watch, what I do is I watch a little bit of CNN, a little bit

00:14:54.760 of MSNBC and a little bit of Fox because they're all assholes.

00:14:57.640 No, we're watching it to try to read between the lines.

00:15:00.420 Yeah.

00:15:00.700 I built perspective.

00:15:01.680 And I'll tell you the guy that I love the most is Hannity.

00:15:04.140 Cause I just think the guy's, he's pretty aggressive.

00:15:06.700 So I like it, but he's all, sometimes he's a little bit too far right on the right side

00:15:10.820 too.

00:15:11.080 But I look at it like, man, no, I think he's pretty ants.

00:15:14.740 I think Hannity's pretty good.

00:15:16.000 Let's stand up against those motherfuckers and say, Hey, fuck you.

00:15:18.780 Yeah.

00:15:19.200 We're fighting for us because you know what?

00:15:20.600 Who's the gal on after him?

00:15:22.520 Uh, I forget her name, but she's good too.

00:15:24.340 She's smart.

00:15:24.940 Yeah.

00:15:25.240 Yeah.

00:15:25.620 You can tell she's, she's, uh, she's a little, she's, she's got some spice.

00:15:28.980 Oh buddy.

00:15:29.660 I guarantee her husband don't win no arguments.

00:15:34.140 That motherfucker is 0 in 800.

00:15:36.780 Yeah.

00:15:37.020 No shit, dude.

00:15:38.560 He ain't no reigning champ.

00:15:39.760 Dude.

00:15:39.940 And the best part is watching her, watching her argue with some of these guys is like,

00:15:43.580 she does it like kind of how I do it in that like real sarcastic way.

00:15:46.560 So you're telling me that fucking blah, blah, blah.

00:15:49.120 Like it's just hilarious to me.

00:15:51.400 Laura Ingram.

00:15:52.320 Laura Ingram.

00:15:52.840 Yeah.

00:15:53.180 But I, I just think, man, I'm so much.

00:15:55.340 Now, dude, I'm not saying I agree with everything she said, but she's, she's good at fucking.

00:15:59.340 She's there for a reason.

00:16:00.280 Yeah.

00:16:00.480 Right.

00:16:00.660 But I will say this, I mean, I, you know, this is a time when I think as American people,

00:16:04.740 and you know, this is the first time I'm, I'm, I would say I'm a real adult, like a

00:16:08.420 leading adult in time in these kinds of hot waters.

00:16:12.200 And man, it really is a time we need to not be sheep and we need to stick together.

00:16:16.400 Dude, look, man.

00:16:17.220 Hey, fuck you guys.

00:16:18.640 I want my job back.

00:16:19.880 I want to turn it back on.

00:16:21.120 I agree.

00:16:21.500 And I want to be safe.

00:16:22.500 Yeah.

00:16:23.140 And if you guys got to go have your little knickknack fucking paddywhack fucking argument,

00:16:26.280 go fuck off and do it other way, other place.

00:16:28.240 Yeah.

00:16:28.420 I want to go back to life.

00:16:29.820 Yeah.

00:16:30.340 Yeah.

00:16:30.640 I think they're fucking with the hornet's nest right now.

00:16:32.580 The hornet's nest.

00:16:33.260 Fuck.

00:16:33.620 I got it eight fucking hours a day with my fucking kids locked in the thing.

00:16:36.840 I got a hornet's nest.

00:16:38.020 Right.

00:16:38.140 Look, dude, I'm just saying, man, I think that those guys, uh, I think those guys are going

00:16:43.400 to, um, I think, you know, I don't know, man.

00:16:48.560 I look, dude, there's too many questions about it that are really unanswered.

00:16:52.480 Um, for example, and this is why I get all, this is, this is why I see other things going

00:16:58.480 on besides what, what, what actually people think is going on.

00:17:01.300 You know, it's very bizarre to me that they haven't tested the entire country or at least

00:17:05.780 randomized section tested to find out on the antibodies, find out where the fuck it's

00:17:09.540 been.

00:17:09.920 You cannot statistically.

00:17:11.860 And this is why you're seeing the death curve crash.

00:17:14.180 Now the last couple of days you've seen the media back off on their prediction.

00:17:19.240 Dude, I said this shit four weeks ago.

00:17:20.960 I told you guys, I said, it's going to come out and this shit's going to magically start

00:17:26.700 to poof away.

00:17:27.640 And now all of a sudden the death rate curve is dropping.

00:17:31.140 Do you know why?

00:17:32.280 Because of what I said at fucking four weeks ago, bro.

00:17:35.200 If you don't know how many people have had it or have it, you can't properly predict the

00:17:39.820 death curve.

00:17:40.360 Correct.

00:17:41.280 You know?

00:17:41.620 And dude, that's that the virus, you know, the, the curve and you got people up there saying,

00:17:46.920 well, you know, this is going to, this is going to be changing as more data comes in.

00:17:51.860 Well, you shouldn't put the motherfucker out then until you collect the data.

00:17:54.980 Well, that's, that doesn't sell.

00:17:56.380 Right.

00:17:56.780 And my thing is, and we talked about it a thousand times.

00:17:59.080 But I mean, dude, you're seeing it right now.

00:18:00.540 Like, dude, if you watch the news, you see in the market, dude, the market's going up.

00:18:04.780 Fucking people are, you know, dude, I see it on the streets.

00:18:07.940 Yeah.

00:18:08.140 They're walking.

00:18:08.640 People are starting to go back to their normal life on their own.

00:18:11.380 Well, and they're being smart about it.

00:18:12.760 And I think that's the thing about playing your role too.

00:18:14.520 But you know, like I look at it this way, you fundamentally peel back all the shit.

00:18:18.240 1.7 billion people in China, they commute to the United States fucking in by the hundreds

00:18:25.100 of thousands and vice versa.

00:18:27.340 Yeah.

00:18:27.820 We rely on the Chinese marketplace.

00:18:29.800 There are Americans by the hundreds of thousands going into China and coming back and coming

00:18:33.880 back to all areas of the country.

00:18:36.680 October, November, December, January, February.

00:18:39.820 Mind you, I was in San Francisco, February 10th, 11th, 12th, something like that.

00:18:44.520 Um, I'm sort of thinking I, 10 days later, my wife and I both, we, I wasn't like extremely

00:18:51.380 sick, but I felt like shit.

00:18:53.020 You know what I mean?

00:18:53.460 And then I started thinking, well, fuck, I've already had it.

00:18:56.040 You know what I mean?

00:18:56.740 Now I got seasonal allergies.

00:18:58.200 I think, oh fuck, I got it again.

00:19:00.080 Well, dude, you know what?

00:19:01.340 That's a big problem.

00:19:02.560 So, you know, I think a lot of people, I'm not sure how, what I think about this, because

00:19:08.600 I think there's going to be a lot of people who are mentally like fucked up from this in

00:19:12.940 terms of like, they're, they won't go to a Cardinals game or a football game.

00:19:16.700 We were just talking about that.

00:19:17.620 Like what, what does the new normal look like?

00:19:19.280 Yeah.

00:19:19.560 Like there's people who are really, really like mentally affected by this.

00:19:22.400 I can tell you this for me, I'm going right back to the way I was like, I'm, I'm, I'm

00:19:26.800 fist bumping.

00:19:27.460 I'm shaking hands.

00:19:28.420 I'm giving hugs.

00:19:29.100 Bro, it's already changed.

00:19:29.960 Like my, my wife's a nervous wreck.

00:19:32.420 Yeah.

00:19:32.760 It's like, you know, before you leave, do this, do this, do this.

00:19:35.200 Like, well, I, I, listen there, it's, it's shit to be aware of.

00:19:39.640 I, you know what I'm saying?

00:19:40.520 I think for us, I think that's the proper way to be right now.

00:19:43.200 Like we don't fucking know.

00:19:44.440 Fuck no.

00:19:45.080 Yeah.

00:19:45.420 We're going to, we're going to play by the rules.

00:19:46.880 We should know because they should be telling us what's going on, but they're, for some reason

00:19:50.720 they're not.

00:19:51.380 Well, and that therein lies maybe a scary point.

00:19:53.960 You know what I'm saying?

00:19:54.340 Yeah.

00:19:54.520 Like, like, like, are, are they not putting it out because there's actually a 10 million people died in

00:19:58.900 China?

00:19:59.220 We don't know about it.

00:19:59.960 Yeah.

00:20:00.140 Maybe they do know, you know what I mean?

00:20:01.320 Yeah.

00:20:01.420 But that's, that's the thing is, is, uh, you know, well, it's always easy in retrospect

00:20:06.360 to go back and say you should have, could have, would have.

00:20:08.140 I'm going to tell you like playing God, man, motherfucker.

00:20:10.360 I called this shit from day one called what the whole fucking thing.

00:20:14.520 But the thing, the beauty of that is, is if the stop the, if the slow the curve, if it works,

00:20:21.120 if it works, we'll never know.

00:20:22.660 No shit.

00:20:23.380 And so that they can say, look at what we did.

00:20:25.920 We saved the world.

00:20:26.960 Maybe they did.

00:20:28.180 Yeah.

00:20:28.720 Maybe they did.

00:20:29.520 You just never know.

00:20:30.660 I got in an argument literally.

00:20:31.780 So my wife's boss.

00:20:32.860 Okay.

00:20:33.280 No, we're going to find out.

00:20:34.380 We're going to find out because there's countries, there's countries that don't have the supplies.

00:20:39.420 So we will know because like Haiti, look at Haiti.

00:20:41.900 Yeah.

00:20:42.000 That's what I'm saying.

00:20:42.580 So Haiti's going to get it and they don't have the fuck, they do not have the infrastructure

00:20:48.160 to fucking support it.

00:20:49.120 You couldn't fucking.

00:20:50.340 It's impossible.

00:20:51.040 Yeah.

00:20:51.300 It's going to run through Haiti and, and, and, and other countries just like that.

00:20:55.720 Dominican.

00:20:56.260 And we'll see, we'll see what happens.

00:20:58.720 And then we'll be able to tell, was it really necessary?

00:21:02.040 Was it not?

00:21:02.520 Yeah.

00:21:02.780 Yeah.

00:21:02.960 Um, and unfortunately, you know, that fucking sucks, but that's how you're going to know.

00:21:07.920 It's, it's reality.

00:21:09.020 I mean, that's, yeah, this is real.

00:21:11.280 This isn't like some manufactured thing, but it's one of those things that, you know, when

00:21:15.380 you're, when you're the quarterback and you got all your, your health advisors saying,

00:21:20.260 stop the curve, stop the curve, stop the curve.

00:21:21.920 If you don't, you're going to kill this many people and you.

00:21:24.840 Yeah, but that, that kill this many people is based off data.

00:21:28.100 They don't know.

00:21:28.920 I know, but we get put, he got pinned in a corner by people who are best friends with

00:21:34.620 pharmaceutical companies who have pushed, who have pushed vaccines, mass vaccines for

00:21:41.320 the last 30 years by people who understand that this is a great way to get themselves

00:21:49.400 rich and to make other companies rich by even treating this.

00:21:53.780 But think about this.

00:21:54.640 Do you think it's weird?

00:21:55.360 Don't you think it's bizarre, Sal, that Bill Gates had this video that went out five years

00:22:02.540 ago, right?

00:22:03.700 And yesterday his, his company was testing the vaccine for this shit.

00:22:09.340 I mean, don't you think that's weird?

00:22:10.640 No, I don't think that's weird at all.

00:22:12.180 I, I, I, I think that's when I, I mean, it goes, this is my point to you earlier in regards

00:22:16.560 to the futures market of the Dow Jones.

00:22:18.600 The whole game is rigged.

00:22:19.640 All the motherfuckers are in on it.

00:22:20.940 But we're agreeing.

00:22:21.660 Yeah.

00:22:22.300 You don't think it's weird because we know that that's correct.

00:22:25.560 There is zero reason right now.

00:22:29.880 Okay.

00:22:30.140 Yesterday.

00:22:31.060 So the futures market was up 5%.

00:22:33.460 Okay.

00:22:33.920 You, there is zero reason for the U S economy to have, to be booming at 4% in non-trading

00:22:39.960 hours.

00:22:40.200 Today, again, it was up three and a half percent in off trading hours.

00:22:44.140 There's economy hasn't been turned back on.

00:22:46.440 That money hasn't even, hasn't even come in.

00:22:48.480 Could it be baked into the price already?

00:22:50.540 No, those motherfuckers know they already know we're turning a corner.

00:22:54.860 You know what I mean?

00:22:55.240 Like, and they're all, I guarantee you the Microsoft's of the world, they're hedging billions

00:22:58.980 of dollars into the game.

00:22:59.940 It's exactly what I said when I wrote that email four fucking weeks ago, which I'm glad

00:23:03.880 I saved because when this is all over, I'm going to post it and be like, I told you,

00:23:06.880 dude, these people are running crazy.

00:23:10.740 Like dude, the headlines right now on, uh, on some of the news is coronavirus cases.

00:23:18.460 We have the most Corona, no shit.

00:23:20.300 Cause we're testing the most people.

00:23:22.080 Yeah.

00:23:22.440 Like this is fucking logic, dude.

00:23:24.780 Like they're, they're making this into some shit like that.

00:23:28.260 It's not, um, when we start to get test people, of course, when we're testing a hundred thousand

00:23:33.720 people a day, the, the thing's going to go up 30,000 cases a day.

00:23:38.200 But the good news is, is it, it should offset the death rate.

00:23:41.400 Do you know what I'm saying?

00:23:42.280 But that's not being talked about.

00:23:43.680 It'll skew it.

00:23:44.500 So the idea, the best thing that can happen at this point in time is it's going to get

00:23:47.460 onboarding 500,000.

00:23:48.820 You're already seeing that.

00:23:50.140 You're seeing that you're seeing the media backpedal like they're fucking Lance Armstrong.

00:23:55.220 Okay.

00:23:55.480 I can't wait though.

00:23:57.000 I can't wait to retrospectively look back at this.

00:24:00.140 And I, and I, and I've said this a couple of times and I'm, I think our president's

00:24:06.820 done a fucking great job.

00:24:07.880 I know he's, there's some moves that have not been, you know, perfect.

00:24:11.720 Look, man, you can't do a perfect job in a crisis like this.

00:24:14.360 That's reality.

00:24:14.880 There's nothing to base it off of.

00:24:16.500 He shut down the borders in January.

00:24:18.140 Then he got fucking called a racist and a xenophobe.

00:24:20.480 Yes.

00:24:20.660 You know, and it's like, okay, so he identified, he's a smart motherfucker.

00:24:23.340 He identified it.

00:24:24.220 And then what happened is, and he gets pinned to this corner.

00:24:26.380 You're going to kill hundreds of thousands of people.

00:24:27.920 Cause that's what it started at.

00:24:28.800 It could be millions.

00:24:29.640 Yeah.

00:24:29.900 Well, dude, you tell me what's going to kill millions.

00:24:33.760 All right.

00:24:34.180 We got to do something drastic.

00:24:35.240 Like we got to shut the motherfucker down.

00:24:36.920 You know what I'm saying?

00:24:37.520 And I, and I, and I, I actually hope that we look back on this, that we did save hundreds

00:24:42.260 of thousands of lives, but I hope that we also didn't cost people their hundreds of thousands

00:24:46.520 of lives because they went broke because the economy shut down because all these small

00:24:49.580 businesses that were thriving get put out of business.

00:24:51.480 So I look at like, where is the perfect access where we hit the on switch?

00:24:55.320 People are, if you even make that argument right now, you're a

00:24:59.400 fucking greedy piece of shit and that's fucking wrong.

00:25:02.680 Okay.

00:25:03.120 Because there's different kinds of casualties in this.

00:25:05.960 Just like you just said, there's people who are sick.

00:25:08.500 There's people who are dying and there's people who are losing their life's work where they

00:25:13.180 work 20 years, sometimes 40 years to fucking build a business.

00:25:17.700 And now it's just gone.

00:25:19.420 Like you, you guys who have never built something who have never put in the 20 years of like

00:25:26.140 stress and anxiety and fear and grinding and headaches and pain and just perseverance

00:25:33.600 that it takes to build a company.

00:25:35.600 You guys who have never done that, you have no fucking idea what these people are going

00:25:40.640 through because imagine dedicating your entire life.

00:25:44.300 And I mean your entire life, everything, everything you got, everything for going family, for

00:25:51.060 going vacations, for going this and this and this to build this thing that serves the world.

00:25:56.860 Oh, and yeah, you do make some money on it, but you also employ all these people to have

00:26:02.180 that ripped away from you is something that most people just cannot possibly comprehend.

00:26:08.080 Dude, I've poured every fucking ounce of my life into this, into my companies, every ounce.

00:26:15.500 I don't even have fucking kids because I don't have time for it.

00:26:18.900 Okay.

00:26:21.100 If this were to be ripped away from me, what, what would I have said?

00:26:26.600 What those 20 years would have been for fucking nothing.

00:26:29.200 And it says more too, because it's not even like a gradual loss.

00:26:31.940 No, it's just gone.

00:26:32.780 It's just gone.

00:26:33.260 And people think because you say that and make that argument, it makes you some sort

00:26:36.660 of greedy.

00:26:37.340 No.

00:26:38.140 Spend the last four weeks of your fucking life on the phone with entrepreneurs who are losing

00:26:43.020 their fucking lives, their livelihoods, and their families are getting sick.

00:26:47.440 Well, I think there's two.

00:26:48.580 I mean, and that's, that's the warfare that we're in.

00:26:50.960 We're not in a gun war, you know, like where it's us versus them.

00:26:55.540 We got two battles and they happen to fucking intersect and they're two huge fucking, two

00:27:01.940 huge fucking chess pieces that certainly you don't want to have to fuck.

00:27:05.300 You got the King and the Queen on the table and we got to figure out which one we're keeping.

00:27:09.420 Yeah.

00:27:09.680 You know what I mean?

00:27:10.300 And that's a big fucking problem, man.

00:27:12.320 And I think, and I'm with you, the economic people that, you know, they say, Hey, fuck it.

00:27:16.640 You know, and, and I don't know the right answer.

00:27:18.760 I don't know the right answer.

00:27:20.940 Fucking turn it back on and we'll fuck it.

00:27:22.720 It's the way it fucking is.

00:27:23.800 And the health people said, no, you can't, you can't kill all these fucking people.

00:27:26.600 But there's no, Sal, there's no evidence that shows that that's what happens other than

00:27:30.540 a few key areas.

00:27:31.740 That's the point.

00:27:32.620 A lot of what's being reported on the news is not true.

00:27:36.020 Whenever they say, Oh, the hospitals are overwhelmed.

00:27:38.740 A few hospitals are overwhelmed.

00:27:41.000 Yeah.

00:27:41.240 Many, many hospitals are completely vacant.

00:27:43.400 Well, I think we're going to see a, I think we're going to see a fucking, no, what we're

00:27:46.220 going to see a lockdown of certain areas.

00:27:47.840 What we're going to, that is the right move.

00:27:49.980 That should have been the move from the beginning though.

00:27:51.940 What we're going to know what was coming.

00:27:53.500 What we're going to see, this is what we're going to see.

00:27:56.460 We're going to see all the media who made this sound like it was the fucking apocalypse.

00:28:01.340 Literally.

00:28:02.040 I screenshotted people who said they were using the word apocalypse in their fucking stories.

00:28:08.020 Wow.

00:28:08.520 Okay.

00:28:10.320 Those people are going to have to eat a bunch of shit.

00:28:12.360 I hope they do.

00:28:13.100 They do.

00:28:13.560 The problem with it is, and this is the shitty thing.

00:28:16.180 And I'm, dude, I'm so patriotic.

00:28:17.500 The fear mongering has to stop.

00:28:18.560 It has to.

00:28:18.880 It not only has to stop, it needs to be called out.

00:28:21.040 But listen, dude, when you call it out, you're an insensitive piece of shit.

00:28:25.180 That's the problem right now.

00:28:26.480 Well, I think if I'm a voter, right?

00:28:27.900 And I'm looking at it, I'm voting on these two things.

00:28:30.180 Hey, how did my Senator, governor, whomever, how do they respond to COVID-19?

00:28:34.500 Were they fucking, were they realistic?

00:28:36.840 And where did they have my best interest in mind?

00:28:38.760 Or were they a part of that fucking agenda?

00:28:41.140 Right.

00:28:41.500 I'm voting on that.

00:28:42.320 I promise you that.

00:28:43.500 And secondarily.

00:28:44.520 Me too.

00:28:45.060 We're going to watch.

00:28:46.140 We're going to watch.

00:28:47.620 The economy's going to struggle.

00:28:49.180 There's no fucking, you and I had this conversation yesterday.

00:28:51.560 Like, stimulus pack or not, it's going to struggle for a little bit.

00:28:53.840 Now it's going to turn back on.

00:28:54.920 We're going to jump start and do things.

00:28:56.040 When it comes back on, dude, it's going to go right back where it was.

00:28:58.180 I'm with you.

00:28:58.900 I'm with you.

00:28:59.260 It's not better.

00:29:00.120 But.

00:29:00.320 I agree.

00:29:00.800 It's going to go up and down a little bit.

00:29:02.220 And people say, people are like, well, how's that?

00:29:04.540 Well, I just had the last three days I've been dealing with the SBA on the Stimpak to

00:29:10.040 learn about it and figure out what it is.

00:29:11.820 Basically, what the Stimpak is going to do for a lot of small businesses, if you have employees,

00:29:15.700 is it's going to, it's two and a half months worth of shit and money to cover your fixed

00:29:22.660 expenses like payroll and things like that.

00:29:24.660 And what it's going to do is basically keep everybody where they were right before.

00:29:29.480 It's kind of like they push pause.

00:29:31.020 I'm just explaining this very basic.

00:29:34.260 So imagine wherever you were right before this happened is kind of where you're going

00:29:39.460 to be financially when this opens back up.

00:29:42.420 That's what they've done with the stimulus package.

00:29:44.920 I looked it over pretty, pretty good.

00:29:49.280 The thing is that it's going to hurt people is that, you know, you have to go through the

00:29:54.580 SBA to do it.

00:29:55.600 And if you don't have a prior banking relationship, meaning like a lot of small businesses, they

00:29:59.440 don't have somebody they've ever dealt with for a bank.

00:30:01.800 Like, you know, they've got to get in a long line and that long line could mean they don't

00:30:05.840 get their money for a while.

00:30:06.960 But that's five days, man.

00:30:08.220 That five days is going to fucking matter.

00:30:09.720 That's my point.

00:30:10.200 I get it.

00:30:10.640 That's fucking bullshit.

00:30:11.660 And I agree with you.

00:30:12.720 Yeah.

00:30:12.980 But I'm saying, I'm saying from looking at it from my point of view and what I know about

00:30:17.860 business, it's going to be if things open back up soon, it's going to be pretty beneficial

00:30:24.720 to keeping everybody where they were.

00:30:27.060 So like wherever you were, you know, if you were at the leader, you're going to be the

00:30:31.580 leader probably.

00:30:32.640 As long as you're maintaining what you can now.

00:30:34.840 And if you were struggling, you're still going to be in business.

00:30:37.420 You're just going to be struggling.

00:30:39.120 I think the biggest thing for business owners right now is to not, and we were just talking

00:30:45.500 about this in the lobby a minute ago before we started the podcast, is to not put your

00:30:49.660 head so far down that you're missing the opportunities to move forward.

00:30:54.300 Because the truth of it is, guys, I got an email from one of my friends who has a small

00:31:00.420 business and, you know, he was fucking pissed, which obviously, you know, I understand.

00:31:06.920 And I said, so what did you learn?

00:31:09.840 He's like, I didn't learn nothing.

00:31:11.240 And I said, well, then you shouldn't be in business, you know?

00:31:14.900 And I said, so what did you learn?

00:31:17.120 Well, I learned that I need to have more cash on hand.

00:31:19.660 I learned that I need to be better and more financially responsible.

00:31:23.120 I learned that I need to pretend like this is going to happen every year so that I'm

00:31:28.240 ready to pounce on the opportunities when there's blood in the water for opportunities.

00:31:31.680 And I said, well, those are some pretty fucking valuable lessons.

00:31:34.600 And there will, and dude, you, you guys who are young in business, you're one or two years

00:31:38.420 into business, three years, five years into business.

00:31:40.820 Look, this is a tremendous learning opportunity for all of you.

00:31:44.980 And for the employees right now that, you know, I'm sorry, they can't pay your, your

00:31:49.480 bills because maybe you got laid off and you didn't have more than a week's worth of money.

00:31:54.540 You know, this has got, this is the lesson here is be prepared for things like this.

00:31:59.480 That's my biggest, my biggest, try to save up.

00:32:02.040 And I know it's hard, dude.

00:32:03.460 Cause like I've been there, but in saving up a couple months to live on as fuck, it takes

00:32:07.860 a long time, but it's a smart idea.

00:32:10.600 But that's an exercise of discipline.

00:32:11.900 That's right.

00:32:12.340 You know, I, I recommend this book all the time.

00:32:14.920 So we, we have, we live in a society now that has been so good for so long that people,

00:32:21.160 and, and, and look, I'll agree.

00:32:22.540 This is very bad thing.

00:32:23.900 Like in terms of like the things we've been through, you know, the nine 11 thing, the

00:32:28.560 financial crash deal, man.

00:32:30.180 Yeah, no, this is a big thing.

00:32:31.540 Like everybody's going to remember this.

00:32:33.160 Like it's going to be, it's going to be always talked about for remember when that

00:32:38.640 happened and there's going to be a lot, there's a lot of lessons here.

00:32:42.980 And so like my main message has been on it from a productive standpoint, Hey, don't get

00:32:49.220 so down on yourself guys that you're not recognizing where the opportunities are leading and what

00:32:54.460 you're doing.

00:32:54.960 Because the more I talked a bit, you know, I've had a lot of phone conversations.

00:32:58.860 Um, you know, the art, a syndicate with that, my let we, that's what we do.

00:33:02.240 We coach entrepreneurs.

00:33:03.680 I've had a ton of conversations with these guys over the last month and, and, and, and

00:33:08.600 really, man.

00:33:09.600 Um, just, I could save you the phone call, you know, people are upset to get it.

00:33:17.180 Take a minute, step the fuck back, take inventory of what you're still grateful for.

00:33:22.160 Okay.

00:33:22.800 Like that's really been helping a lot of guys like, Hey man, um, there's people in this

00:33:28.580 world that can't eat and they can't eat during normal times.

00:33:32.440 You know what I'm saying?

00:33:33.680 So, so let's step back.

00:33:36.140 If our biggest problem is we can't get the Charmin toilet paper right now and we had

00:33:40.280 to cut a couple of people from their job and our bit, maybe our business fucking crashed.

00:33:44.340 It's an opportunity to rebuild better, stronger, more tools.

00:33:47.840 And that's how you have to look at it.

00:33:49.500 And I, I think that, you know, I'm not talking from out of my ass because a lot of people

00:33:55.220 will say, well, that's easy for you to say, well, how the fuck do you think we got here?

00:33:58.760 Like we had to manage all these storms too.

00:34:01.060 Dude, we were two years old when nine 11 happened, but we're in the middle of a shit storm.

00:34:05.180 No, no, no.

00:34:05.960 That's not what I'm saying.

00:34:07.640 Um, what I'm saying is, is like, dude, we were a small business when nine 11 happened.

00:34:11.980 We were still a small business with 2008 happened when 2000 fucking eight happened.

00:34:16.060 We, we were able to fucking pivot that and we grew our business a hundred percent in

00:34:20.600 a row for the next five fucking years.

00:34:22.420 Okay.

00:34:23.200 So you guys were in business right now and you're, or even if you're an employee of a

00:34:28.120 business and I want to talk about that too, because a lot of employees now are like confused.

00:34:34.680 I'll just put it that way.

00:34:35.960 Um, you, this is the time to step up and show your value.

00:34:40.480 This is the time to, to not panic, to stay as calm as you can and to look around and

00:34:46.100 say, okay, how can I be an asset to my business?

00:34:48.560 And the guys who own the businesses say, okay, how can I be an asset to my community right

00:34:52.920 now?

00:34:53.240 How can I adjust to these new norms?

00:34:55.340 How can I adjust to these new behaviors?

00:34:57.980 How can I serve my people in a more effective way?

00:35:02.260 Even if things go back to normal, which they will, when they go back to normal, how can,

00:35:07.720 what tools can I develop so that I can be more effective then?

00:35:11.220 And that mindset is what's going to determine who capitalizes here and comes out better and

00:35:17.660 looks back and says, damn dude, you know what?

00:35:21.960 That COVID time, as hard as it was, it fucking made me versus the people who, and there's going

00:35:27.320 to be more of these people who are going to look back and they're going to say, man,

00:35:31.760 you know, I was kicking ass up until the COVID thing happened and that just ruined my life.

00:35:36.560 It took me out.

00:35:37.060 Dude, how many of you got, how many, how many people, you know, like that to say, man, I

00:35:41.020 had this big business until 2008, just wipe me out and they're still doing nothing.

00:35:46.180 It's 12 fucking years later.

00:35:48.580 You know, like this is an attitude adjustment and a perspective twist that you guys have to

00:35:54.040 have no matter if you own a business or you're an employee.

00:35:56.920 Okay.

00:35:57.740 Another thing about the employees, I saw something on TV about employees of essential businesses

00:36:03.040 demanding hazard pay.

00:36:04.420 Let me explain something to you guys.

00:36:06.940 There's less jobs now.

00:36:08.960 So you should be appreciative that you have a job that's still paying you.

00:36:14.000 If you're demanding hazard pay because you're an essential company and you're able to go to

00:36:19.700 work and have a job on a 10 man crew, that's normally 50 man.

00:36:23.880 Um, dude, you need to understand that right now there is millions of people that would

00:36:30.160 fucking kill to have that position and that day to feed their children.

00:36:33.880 Yeah.

00:36:34.060 That's what I'm saying.

00:36:34.820 And the days of like, oh, well you're not going to find anybody else.

00:36:39.800 That shit's over.

00:36:41.000 It's over right now.

00:36:42.400 So your best bet as an employee is to figure out how can I fucking help bail the water, get

00:36:49.660 a fucking bucket and pitch in.

00:36:51.080 That's right.

00:36:51.840 Like, dude, we got water coming on the boat.

00:36:54.020 You better be the motherfucker bailing the most because if you are, that's going to be

00:36:58.240 remembered in a year from now when things get back to normal, we're going to say, you

00:37:01.640 know what?

00:37:02.780 When, when that shit went down, Joe and Bob and Tony and Susie and Mary, they fucking

00:37:08.200 kicked ass.

00:37:09.220 Those are the people we can count on.

00:37:10.740 And that's what people, people also employees, they're getting their perspectives confused

00:37:16.440 because they still think it's what it was fucking two months ago, which it ain't.

00:37:20.260 No, not at all.

00:37:20.940 Well, and I think, I mean, this is, I don't mean to sound that as like a threatening way.

00:37:24.360 I'm just saying it's reality.

00:37:25.780 I think it's realistic.

00:37:26.620 And dude, you're going to start to see adjustments.

00:37:28.380 I mean, listen, it's a, it was a great test for us as a business from a remote organization.

00:37:31.720 You're going to watch a lot of these companies.

00:37:33.300 You're going to understand that they can't operate remotely and maybe they can operate with

00:37:36.600 less and less employees and less overhead.

00:37:38.180 You know, you're going to see that paradigm shift as well.

00:37:40.780 And it's just, this is a testing point.

00:37:42.500 I have a interesting perspective to two points to your, to your, the single greatest thing

00:37:48.340 I ever did was go to Haiti.

00:37:49.840 The outside having kids and all the other stuff, the single voluntary thing I ever did

00:37:55.200 is go to Haiti.

00:37:55.960 And because that perspective shift for me that you just spoke about was, it was real, right?

00:38:00.080 It's real to watch.

00:38:01.080 I have, I don't know.

00:38:02.080 You're watching kids run around with no fucking clothes, carrying buckets of water four miles

00:38:07.020 up a fucking mountain just for their family.

00:38:08.980 Yeah.

00:38:09.460 And I've made it my life's mission to, to support these 47 kids in Haiti.

00:38:14.740 And there was one little kid that changed my heart and I keep, I don't have a picture

00:38:18.140 of my own kids on my desk.

00:38:19.120 I have a picture of him because whenever I feel sorry for myself, whenever I start to

00:38:22.940 think negative shit, I look at Marco.

00:38:24.540 Not only that, he's the happiest little dude there is.

00:38:27.060 Oh, he's a stud.

00:38:27.760 You know?

00:38:28.120 And I think of that, that child.

00:38:30.600 And I think, man, no matter what I'm going through, he'd give everything he had just

00:38:34.380 to live one fucking day my way.

00:38:35.720 No shit.

00:38:36.280 One day.

00:38:36.920 But that, you know, he probably, bro, that, that goes for pretty much everybody listening

00:38:42.260 to you.

00:38:42.660 No, that's not just because you're in a, in a, you know, what you want to, I don't

00:38:46.440 know, people call a good scenario financially.

00:38:50.500 You know, no, no, your, your worst day is somebody's dream.

00:38:53.140 I know.

00:38:53.500 And, and that goes for everybody here.

00:38:55.920 And I, I purposefully keep him in the forefront of my brain because it's a genuine reminder

00:39:02.760 that I'm, I was blessed.

00:39:04.520 We're blessed to be here in this situation, although it be shit.

00:39:08.640 No, no, no.

00:39:09.240 First of all, it's not shit.

00:39:10.400 No, no.

00:39:10.680 I understand.

00:39:11.200 But second of all, I agree.

00:39:12.920 And when you sent me the other day about Haiti getting it and they had four 47 ventilators

00:39:17.500 for how many people fucking millions.

00:39:20.180 Yeah.

00:39:20.360 Millions of people.

00:39:21.140 I don't even know that their census is correct.

00:39:22.480 Yeah.

00:39:22.640 Like, dude, it made my fucking stomach hurt.

00:39:26.160 Yeah.

00:39:26.260 Me too.

00:39:26.740 Yeah.

00:39:26.900 It made me sick.

00:39:27.560 And I think about those little kids, you know, cause we support that organization down

00:39:30.880 there and it's, and it's times.

00:39:33.200 And then, then the, this is where the alcoholic in me comes out.

00:39:36.780 Good tie in there, bro.

00:39:38.480 Way to transition.

00:39:39.460 It is.

00:39:39.920 I'm just going to, so I'm sitting down and I'm like, man, maybe this is God's way of

00:39:43.200 telling you, you need to be spend more time with your family and kids.

00:39:45.840 And maybe we're living too fast and all those things.

00:39:48.280 And you know what?

00:39:48.740 I actually agree with that.

00:39:49.580 Yeah.

00:39:49.740 No, no, no.

00:39:50.100 Maybe, maybe as a society, and I think of it this way, you know, maybe, God is going

00:39:55.720 to, maybe I catch it.

00:39:56.440 Who cares?

00:39:57.220 You know, maybe God sent us a sign and said, Hey man, I, I sent you swine flu.

00:40:00.960 I sent you SARS.

00:40:02.500 Got to change one and one.

00:40:03.660 And you guys didn't fucking adjust.

00:40:04.860 So guess what?

00:40:05.440 Here you go.

00:40:06.960 Good luck.

00:40:07.620 I don't, I don't, I don't discredit that at all.

00:40:10.860 No.

00:40:11.160 So I, I think he's sending us a sign and you know, it's, it tells us to be better prepared

00:40:15.180 and take things that are, that should be a priority and make them a fucking priority

00:40:20.280 right now.

00:40:21.020 You know what I'm saying?

00:40:21.720 Yeah.

00:40:21.920 And, and, and that comes with family and that comes with making sure your finances

00:40:25.960 are fucking in order and not worrying about the new pair of fucking Jordans or whatever.

00:40:29.700 Yeah.

00:40:29.820 Whatever.

00:40:30.100 What do you wear those Yeezys?

00:40:31.460 Wearing them fucking Yeezys.

00:40:32.460 Don't worry about no goddamn Yeezys.

00:40:34.280 Worry about stacking a little cash so you can live for two months.

00:40:37.320 You know what I think?

00:40:37.940 You know, you know what though, dude?

00:40:40.060 Like the other thing is there's a flip side of that too.

00:40:43.880 Like that, I see people preaching that and I agree with it a hundred percent, but I

00:40:48.900 also see those same people villainizing people who have done well and are in a good position

00:40:53.080 right now.

00:40:53.820 You know what?

00:40:54.620 If that's you, you're a fucking piece of shit because you have no idea what the price

00:40:59.800 was paid for certain people to live the way that they live, including myself.

00:41:04.160 You have no fucking clue.

00:41:05.700 And you know, like I had someone, I was, I was, uh, I was doing a story and like my house

00:41:12.700 got shown like in the back, like, not like I took a picture of it.

00:41:15.300 And even if I did it, fuck in my house, I'm proud of it.

00:41:18.540 But, um, but like they said, Oh, I'm sure this is really hard on you, uh, living in your

00:41:25.320 fucking mansion.

00:41:25.980 And this, you know what, dude, it actually is really hard on me because I got to worry

00:41:29.740 about fucking all my people.

00:41:31.340 I have 300 fucking employees, 15,000 fucking outside reps.

00:41:35.840 I've got fucking a couple thousand entrepreneurs that we coach.

00:41:39.020 I've got multiple teams and other companies that we own.

00:41:41.620 And you know what?

00:41:42.920 It is fucking hard.

00:41:44.380 It's fucking hard because I got to worry about everybody, not just myself.

00:41:48.640 Well, and I think, and like, dude, the shaming on like success right now, that's fucking bullshit,

00:41:54.180 dude.

00:41:54.900 Like I, I wanted to say last night, so I wanted to fuck, I've been kind of like, I've been

00:42:00.800 kind of quiet on social because like the, the social temperature right now is so absurd.

00:42:05.840 It's weird.

00:42:06.520 Yeah.

00:42:06.800 Like you can't say anything, anything you say right now is wrong.

00:42:10.300 And like, dude, uh, let's address, let's address that.

00:42:14.080 Um, let me explain something to you people.

00:42:16.940 Okay.

00:42:17.880 And you can explain this to your dumb motherfucking friends.

00:42:20.340 All right.

00:42:21.100 Cause I don't think the people who listen to this are actually really smart or they wouldn't

00:42:23.960 listen.

00:42:24.540 They would, they would definitely unsubscribe.

00:42:26.160 That's right.

00:42:27.640 So, uh, so we just lost one, but no.

00:42:31.000 Yeah.

00:42:31.320 Okay.

00:42:32.100 What I'm saying is explain this shit to your stupid friends and annoy the fuck out of you

00:42:37.460 guys.

00:42:37.660 Like they do to us too.

00:42:38.720 We got some stupid friends just like everybody.

00:42:41.000 Okay.

00:42:41.500 They're still my friends, but they're dumb.

00:42:43.340 Yep.

00:42:43.840 Let me explain something to you.

00:42:45.720 All right.

00:42:46.880 When you have a situation, hold on.

00:42:49.860 I got that tickle.

00:42:52.220 No, I got the loaner.

00:42:53.580 What the fuck is it?

00:42:54.380 I got like a bubble.

00:42:55.320 Yeah.

00:42:55.540 We're going to play a guessing game.

00:42:56.540 What are we talking about?

00:42:57.380 Lysol.

00:42:57.920 What are we talking about?

00:42:58.860 Stupid ass friends.

00:42:59.640 Stupid ass friends.

00:43:00.260 Yeah.

00:43:00.460 But what was I getting to?

00:43:01.440 I don't fucking know.

00:43:02.480 I would, I would say one thing.

00:43:03.740 And I think this is probably the best thing I've ever heard.

00:43:05.660 That tickle fucking threw me off.

00:43:06.420 It threw you off?

00:43:07.420 I got a little scratch in my throat.

00:43:09.060 I'm like, oh fuck.

00:43:09.600 I got something I think will probably put you back on track.

00:43:12.120 You know, I, I, I, I think, and I speak for, I'm going to speak for myself

00:43:16.620 and I think I speak for both of us.

00:43:17.860 They don't, I don't think a lot of people understand how much we care about

00:43:22.160 our employees and how much we love our employees.

00:43:24.340 And that's a different, that's stress, dude.

00:43:26.100 Those are our kids.

00:43:27.140 No, people think that's nonsense.

00:43:28.680 They like, oh, they're just a number.

00:43:30.340 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:43:31.140 What I'm saying is we say that, but because they've never worked here or

00:43:36.020 understand the dynamic and they've never visited our building, they, they

00:43:40.060 assume that that's just lip service because that's what they get at their

00:43:44.260 company.

00:43:44.720 Dude, I've never drank more in my entire life for real, for real.

00:43:48.360 And it's because I care about the guys.

00:43:50.540 Like I, like in a sense, like I could pair, I could shift tomorrow.

00:43:54.400 I could sell whatever I need to sell online or do whatever, build a brand

00:43:58.160 and I'll be fine.

00:43:59.380 But I think about, and this is early on, you know, think about, okay, what is

00:44:02.540 the, what's the big picture?

00:44:03.700 And what's the first, the first thing Andrew and I did, I said, Hey, we got to

00:44:06.480 cut our warehouse staff.

00:44:07.620 We're going to fucking mobilize all of our guys.

00:44:09.680 The hours are going to go down.

00:44:10.860 We got to pay them.

00:44:11.980 Like we're going to fucking pay them.

00:44:13.320 Like on average, we're going to pay them 40 hours a week.

00:44:14.840 Now they're only working 25, but we're going to fucking pay them because that's

00:44:17.340 our obligation.

00:44:18.120 And you know, so when you get bastardized by people from the outside, they don't

00:44:21.000 know that shit.

00:44:21.840 No, they don't.

00:44:22.360 I will say this.

00:44:23.540 And that conversation's at fucking 1230 in the morning.

00:44:26.420 Yeah.

00:44:26.740 The day that, the day Trump's on the fucking news.

00:44:28.720 Yeah.

00:44:28.980 And I'm fucking blasted out of my fucking mind or stoned out of his fucking mind.

00:44:33.300 And all we're thinking about is, I would trade this seat right now to be working in

00:44:38.480 the warehouse.

00:44:39.380 Like, seriously, I work, I work, Andy, I work for you, right?

00:44:41.620 But in a different capacity, but I would, in a heartbeat, if you ask me right now, go

00:44:45.500 in the warehouse and drive the forklift, I would give anything for it.

00:44:48.180 Just to have the opportunity to start.

00:44:48.740 Because I know that you guys care.

00:44:50.240 I do.

00:44:50.780 But you've been around us for, how long have you been around us?

00:44:53.280 Three, four months.

00:44:53.920 Three months.

00:44:54.380 Yeah.

00:44:54.500 Three, four months.

00:44:55.220 And what do you think about our guys?

00:44:56.600 It's amazing.

00:44:57.440 Have you ever seen a culture like that?

00:44:59.040 Never.

00:44:59.560 No.

00:44:59.940 And I've been around a couple of decent sized companies.

00:45:02.660 You're a military guy.

00:45:03.240 But it's like, dude, this thing that you guys got going on here, and just knowing where

00:45:08.620 it's going to be in a couple of months.

00:45:10.800 Especially.

00:45:11.340 I would kill to be in this seat right here.

00:45:14.280 But that's out of love.

00:45:15.220 You're in a good seat, though.

00:45:16.380 That's out of love.

00:45:17.360 I mean, this seat's pretty comfortable.

00:45:18.300 Do you know how many of those dudes would kill to be in your fucking seat right now?

00:45:21.200 No, but I think that's an important part about people, you know, like, hey, listen,

00:45:26.980 you can success hate on some people, or maybe the people on Capitol Hill who are still getting

00:45:30.420 in.

00:45:31.040 But motherfucker, I care about my guys.

00:45:32.940 No, and that's, so that, that's what the problem is.

00:45:35.300 There's a misidentification on who the fucking enemy is based upon, like, when people say,

00:45:41.360 dude, the rich don't pay taxes.

00:45:44.400 They're not talking about me.

00:45:46.040 They're talking about the fucking rich.

00:45:48.280 They're talking about the fucking Bezos and the fucking Walmarts and the fucking all these

00:45:53.360 other big companies that have that conversation.

00:45:57.340 Because Andrew opened my eyes up to something yesterday, and I was unaware of this, you know,

00:46:00.780 because we were talking about.

00:46:01.540 No, you, you bet me that you fucking argue with me that I told him that we pay more tax

00:46:06.420 than Amazon.

00:46:07.240 And again, you're lost.

00:46:08.720 No, we didn't.

00:46:09.520 Because they only started paying tax in 2000 fucking 18.

00:46:12.900 No, but understand that you, no, you were saying that the internet doesn't collect sales

00:46:15.960 tax.

00:46:16.260 And I'm saying, yes, it does.

00:46:16.960 It's been involved for a couple of years.

00:46:18.120 Yeah, two years.

00:46:18.900 But listen to me, think about this, okay?

00:46:22.000 This is going to fucking go down the rabbit hole.

00:46:23.900 But don't you think it's bizarre, like bizarre that our country right now is being pushed

00:46:32.840 by this pandemic to everything being digital?

00:46:36.400 And don't you, don't you think it's weird to think about who's benefiting from that?

00:46:41.900 We just created a scenario where our dad, who is a brick and mortar shopper, okay?

00:46:48.020 And a generation of brick and mortar shoppers.

00:46:51.360 Now they've figured out how to do this.

00:46:53.940 And now they see the value in this.

00:46:56.260 And the problem with that is, is that if you take all the brick and mortar retail, that

00:47:00.700 small business across the entire United States, and you, then you take Amazon, who's getting

00:47:06.140 most of the business here, who employs more people?

00:47:09.900 All the brick and mortar.

00:47:11.140 Buy a fuck ton.

00:47:12.420 Who pays more tax?

00:47:14.400 All the brick and mortar.

00:47:16.000 Buy a fuck ton.

00:47:16.860 Who pays more state tax?

00:47:19.220 All the brick and mortar.

00:47:20.480 Because Amazon didn't pay any for fucking 20 years.

00:47:23.520 Well, I think that's a learning lesson for the consumer, though.

00:47:26.480 So there's no, there's no mystery as to why all these state governments are going broke,

00:47:32.220 but yet nobody talks about it.

00:47:35.180 So we have this scenario where now all the business from mom and pop is pushed into Bezos's

00:47:40.440 plate.

00:47:41.860 Think about what that's going to do.

00:47:43.680 How many of these people who had just learned how convenient Amazon is?

00:47:47.400 And look, dude, I'm a capitalist.

00:47:49.620 I'm all about it.

00:47:50.680 You make the best.

00:47:51.520 You sell the best to a point.

00:47:54.060 Okay.

00:47:54.420 You have to understand that every time that you order off of there and you don't shop

00:48:00.420 locally, you are costing people fucking jobs.

00:48:03.700 Well, I think it's an identifier, though.

00:48:05.460 You know, I'm all, I'm a capitalist as well.

00:48:07.420 And I think I'm all about if you can fucking do something, you can make a lot of fucking

00:48:10.580 money.

00:48:10.900 Great.

00:48:12.580 But you need to pay your share.

00:48:13.960 I agree.

00:48:14.740 Do you know what I'm saying?

00:48:15.080 And that paying the share.

00:48:16.480 I don't like paying fucking taxes.

00:48:17.840 I don't either.

00:48:18.600 Actually, you know what?

00:48:19.700 I do like paying tax.

00:48:21.160 I'm fucking proud that I pay every look, dude.

00:48:25.340 The first time I ever got a fucking million dollar tax bill, I was going to opening day

00:48:29.740 to see and I was going with Todd.

00:48:31.900 Okay.

00:48:32.900 And I went and fucking I don't want to talk about that.

00:48:36.140 Yeah, I went.

00:48:37.140 I'm just saying, I see where you're going.

00:48:39.200 I don't even want to go there.

00:48:42.280 I went there and I was fucking pissed, dude.

00:48:45.540 Like I was on the phone with our CPA and I'm like, like, dude, I'm freaking the fuck

00:48:49.740 out because like we didn't have the money.

00:48:51.660 A million dollars.

00:48:52.260 That's why I didn't know.

00:48:53.080 I didn't even fucking know.

00:48:54.400 Like I didn't even I didn't know shit.

00:48:56.000 This was probably 2000 fucking 10.

00:48:59.040 Okay.

00:49:00.180 I get this.

00:49:01.040 I get the call.

00:49:02.060 Hey, dude, we owe a one point one million dollar tax bill.

00:49:05.260 And I'm like.

00:49:07.700 Fuck, we're gonna go out of business, you know, like we don't have a million dollars.

00:49:11.200 So I'm like freaking the fuck out.

00:49:12.720 And I go and sit with him and, you know, he's like, you know, dude, I'm going to tell

00:49:18.200 you something that you're going to remember the rest of your life.

00:49:20.340 And what he told me next, I have remembered the rest of my life.

00:49:24.080 I remembered a lot of things that he did for the rest of my life.

00:49:27.760 But I remember this the most.

00:49:32.200 It's a privilege to pay that much tax.

00:49:34.500 I agree.

00:49:35.140 And I fuck ever since that.

00:49:37.020 I was like, fuck, dude, he's right.

00:49:39.620 And you know what?

00:49:40.260 I am fucking proud to pay the tax that we pay.

00:49:43.440 I am proud to pay the government, everything that we fucking the right amount.

00:49:47.880 And I think any company that isn't is kind of un-American, in my opinion, because, dude,

00:49:52.860 if I was Bezos right now, I would be looking at like, dude, you got to fuck your you're

00:49:57.040 fucking 100 billionaires like a couple of times over.

00:50:00.160 Like you can't even fucking you control so much of the money that you can't even.

00:50:05.240 What can you do with it?

00:50:06.220 DJ, Google this or somebody Google what was the federal taxes paid by Amazon versus revenue.

00:50:11.760 It's I looked it up yesterday.

00:50:13.460 It's less than one percent of their total profit.

00:50:15.980 Now, mind you, corporations should pay approximately 40 percent of total profits.

00:50:20.780 Look, when the Internet came out, Sal, the government didn't step in and regulate the Internet.

00:50:25.600 And they didn't.

00:50:26.120 Over one percent.

00:50:26.700 They didn't because there wasn't technology.

00:50:29.380 There was not the technology to create.

00:50:32.860 There is now.

00:50:34.040 Yeah.

00:50:34.180 But I'm dude, I remember this because I went through it.

00:50:36.280 Like, I remember when the fucking Internet came on.

00:50:38.920 Like, and I remember how at first I remember you blowing up that computer because of porn.

00:50:43.360 I did.

00:50:44.800 I fucking blew up a couple of that black compact compact.

00:50:49.000 That's why we're out of business.

00:50:50.400 It's still on fire.

00:50:52.620 Fucking spontaneously combusted.

00:50:54.840 But look here, the truth is, dude, I'm old enough and young enough to know what that was like.

00:51:01.840 And I remember it.

00:51:02.740 And, dude, I'm telling you right now, when that came out, the technology to collect tax was not around.

00:51:08.480 So the government never fucking made these companies collect their state and local taxes just like you would if you went to a store.

00:51:14.240 And it never got fixed.

00:51:16.260 It never got fixed.

00:51:17.220 I'm with you.

00:51:17.800 For 20 years.

00:51:18.900 So you give somebody a 20 year head start to pay no fucking state.

00:51:23.260 Let's just say sales tax, right?

00:51:24.840 Fuck.

00:51:27.920 All right.

00:51:28.600 Somebody get my salt.

00:51:30.020 That was water, motherfuckers.

00:51:31.860 All right.

00:51:32.140 Look.

00:51:32.660 But what I'm saying is you give someone a 20 year head start and not paying state tax.

00:51:39.920 What does that do?

00:51:40.760 Let me explain it to you guys who don't understand.

00:51:43.440 State tax, the sales tax, usually between 6 to 11 percent, depending on where you live.

00:51:49.200 Let's just say it's 8 percent.

00:51:51.940 Okay.

00:51:52.380 Let's just say it's 10, just so it's easily calculatable.

00:51:56.240 When you sell something and you don't have to collect that tax, the consumer mindset is that it's 10 percent cheaper.

00:52:05.880 Okay.

00:52:06.040 So when you give the Internet, who has more buying power than most of the brick and mortars, obviously, and they definitely do now, but I'm talking about back in fucking 2000, 2000 early, like early days of this commerce.

00:52:20.300 When you have the Internet, when you have the Internet, who can buy more shit than the local mom and pop business, and then they don't have to collect the tax, now you're talking about a 20 percent gap and competitive advantage over margin.

00:52:34.780 20 fucking percent minimum.

00:52:37.400 So do you not remember?

00:52:38.920 Like, dude, when you go to Amazon, you know, and don't you remember this?

00:52:42.420 Of course.

00:52:42.920 Fucking Amazon.

00:52:43.460 Dude, Amazon.

00:52:44.040 Everything was cheaper.

00:52:44.800 That's right.

00:52:45.300 Amazon did not start with convenience.

00:52:47.420 They evolved to convenience.

00:52:49.260 They started on cheaper.

00:52:50.920 And people don't remember that.

00:52:52.120 And so, dude, they were able to get a head start for 20 years in this economy that was truly an unfair advantage over a brick and mortar when they employ less people, right, create less jobs, and pay less tax to the fucking government.

00:53:09.540 What do you think that's going to do to the economy?

00:53:11.820 Of course it's going to fuck the state governments.

00:53:14.420 That's why half the state governments can't make any money because a huge percentage of their retail traffic is now online.

00:53:19.440 They don't collect tax.

00:53:20.080 And I'd be willing to bet that that dude's in their pockets.

00:53:23.380 Dude, you don't even hear someone talk about it.

00:53:26.680 Well, I think this is a great idea to talk about it.

00:53:29.440 That's why.

00:53:30.220 Dude, you also, you know, like people give me shit because I'm a loud mouth and they think that I don't know what the fuck I'm doing.

00:53:36.780 Well, the truth is I have a pretty good perspective because I've been doing this for a long time.

00:53:41.900 The fact that you allow the government to take money from lobbyists of any sort is absurd.

00:53:50.080 People can accept bribes, gifts, and all this shit under the table that allows them to vote certain ways about certain things.

00:53:58.600 And if you want to get real honest with what's going on right now, you're fucking seeing it at the biggest level right now.

00:54:04.020 Well, I think that's what I, I mean, this is where, let's tie it back to what the current situation is, is, you know, I'm extremely proud of our president and how he's handled the situation, even though it's not perfect.

00:54:18.040 And, you know, you have to play God.

00:54:19.560 And at some point in time, he's going to have to make that decision.

00:54:21.240 He's going to get scrutinized to high hell.

00:54:22.440 At some point in time, at some point in time, he's got to say, all right, we're going back.

00:54:28.260 And no matter when that time is, it's too early.

00:54:31.220 It's too late.

00:54:32.660 It's not right.

00:54:33.920 It's not perfect.

00:54:34.820 He's going to get fucking stabbed in a million different ways.

00:54:37.180 And that's what it is, what it is.

00:54:38.400 But what I can't see, I can't wait to see is when this thing shakes out, who gets attacked, whose businesses get scrutinized.

00:54:48.360 Well, do you want to know?

00:54:49.180 Because I'll just tell you how it's going to happen.

00:54:50.420 Who gets the screws put to him?

00:54:52.680 Because I think the single best thing that could happen is the dude gets reelected.

00:54:55.820 And how he was painted into this corner, I think there's a lot of people.

00:55:00.180 He's going to dismantle a lot of this shit that we're talking about.

00:55:03.760 Let's talk about something fun.

00:55:05.740 What do we think is going on?

00:55:07.440 What is our opinions?

00:55:08.600 What do you think is going on?

00:55:11.700 I think it's pretty clear that we're not privy to knowing the whole situation.

00:55:17.380 Yeah, I think, I mean, dude, it's sad enough to say, I think when you, it sucks, dude.

00:55:23.440 Because, you know, on one hand, like I am as red, white, and blue as anybody could possibly fucking be.

00:55:28.960 I wear cowboy boots.

00:55:30.100 I drive a pickup truck.

00:55:31.580 No mullet, though.

00:55:32.940 I've had a mullet.

00:55:33.820 I shaved my head.

00:55:35.060 I got, you know, I listen to country music.

00:55:36.720 Like everything you could fucking say about red, white, and blue.

00:55:39.460 And right now, the fact that our government can treat us like pawns really bothers me.

00:55:44.280 You know what I mean?

00:55:44.620 The fact that, the fact that.

00:55:47.020 You're Midwest red, white, and blue.

00:55:49.200 Yeah, I understand.

00:55:49.740 That's fine.

00:55:49.980 Yeah, like there's all kinds of red, white, and blue, bro.

00:55:52.100 Well, no, but I think, but I, I mean, like, dude, I.

00:55:54.100 You gotta be careful.

00:55:54.820 You're gonna get the fucking, you're gonna get the fucking, the hate mongers coming out and saying, what are you trying to say?

00:55:59.180 You trying to say that people that don't wear cowboy boots aren't fucking red, white, and blue?

00:56:02.780 Well, I'm saying that I'm that, whatever that version.

00:56:05.500 Karen's gonna message you in and fucking yell at us.

00:56:07.200 That's fine.

00:56:07.480 If I have a man bun, am I American?

00:56:09.160 Yeah, whatever that, well, I wrote a post on this.

00:56:11.680 I don't care if you're black, white, pink, purple, fucking male, female, or both.

00:56:15.740 Doesn't fucking matter.

00:56:17.040 Yeah.

00:56:17.140 What we should, what should fucking matter is we, the people, need to band together and say, hey, media, fuck you.

00:56:24.080 Well, look, dude.

00:56:24.660 Hey, fucking Nancy Pelosi, fuck you.

00:56:26.420 Like, we're not your little fucking pawns.

00:56:28.400 I think there is an awakening happening.

00:56:32.740 I think, I polled, I polled people on my page a few days ago and asked them how many people felt, and I realize this is completely skewed because it's my audience and our audience is smart.

00:56:48.140 You know, but it was like 96% of people thought the media completely fucked this whole thing up.

00:56:54.420 And, you know, if we look at what's going on and we look at the data and we look at the facts, assuming that the data that we have about our own country is correct and the data we have about the other countries is correct, minus China, there is things about this virus that do not add up.

00:57:18.260 Number one, we do not know how many people have it because we haven't tested them, okay?

00:57:24.860 If we don't know how many people have it, then it's literally impossible to predict how dangerous it is.

00:57:31.220 It's something I said on March fucking 9th, okay?

00:57:34.760 Now, people have still not been tested, okay?

00:57:38.920 But they still keep coming out with these death models and this fear-mongering and all these things that they cannot possibly know.

00:57:47.260 You can't know it.

00:57:48.380 You can't know it.

00:57:49.700 It would be like me giving you a sales spreadsheet with, like, half of the people on it and the other half just guessing, right?

00:58:00.440 No, I agree.

00:58:00.960 It's not accurate.

00:58:01.720 Yeah.

00:58:02.060 It's like, it cannot be accurate.

00:58:04.400 It can't even be somewhat accurate.

00:58:06.500 In fact, it's throw it out.

00:58:07.520 That's right.

00:58:08.480 But we have that being pushed to get people aware of the situation, right or wrong.

00:58:14.040 That's what's happening, all right?

00:58:15.740 Now, we have a scenario, and I'm just lining out the logic of this whole entire thing.

00:58:21.900 We have a scenario now where the person who is making the calls, which is Anthony Fauci, all right, has traditionally been linked to Big Pharma, all right?

00:58:36.220 All the guys who own the big pharma companies, they fucking love this guy.

00:58:39.720 They're friends.

00:58:41.140 He's with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

00:58:44.040 He's with all these other organizations, the Zuckerberg Foundation, all these things, all right?

00:58:51.840 He's linked to.

00:58:52.800 Now, now we have a scenario where Trump has done the proper thing and deferred to the expert, but the expert, Fauci, is deciding that, and I heard him, this is what he said.

00:59:08.260 He said, somebody asked him about three or four days ago what, when he thought we should go back to work.

00:59:14.700 And his response was, well, when you see that curve go to, like, zero deaths, then it's probably okay.

00:59:22.200 Well, you're giving a man who studied a disease, and disease is, who did not study economics and did not study all these other things that have to do with literally every other American calling the plays for the whole entire country.

00:59:38.060 Now, this is where I'm getting to what I think is going to happen.

00:59:41.520 I think we have a scenario now where most people are seeing that Fauci's models and his curves and all this shit were not right.

00:59:51.460 And every day, they're backing off of it more and more and more.

00:59:54.860 And instead of saying, hey, I was not right from the beginning, which they couldn't have been because they didn't know the deaths.

01:00:01.780 They didn't know who had it and who hasn't had it.

01:00:04.860 How many people do we have out here in December?

01:00:07.540 Remember, we had, like, 30 fucking people out in December for a week at a time.

01:00:11.940 That's never happened in the history of business.

01:00:14.800 It's never happened.

01:00:15.660 In our business.

01:00:16.440 Do you know how many people fucking have said to me, dude, I think this has run through here.

01:00:22.940 This has run through here already.

01:00:24.320 We had all these symptoms.

01:00:25.740 We had this and this and this.

01:00:26.680 What I think we're going to see happen is we're going to see Trump decide, hey, this is enough.

01:00:36.820 But it's only going to happen once it's become clear that the entire scientific model that they've been riding on is completely wrong.

01:00:46.800 OK, and once that happens, that's not going to make Fauci look real good to the public.

01:00:53.860 The media is going to try to make him a hero.

01:00:56.140 But the truth is, he's still arguing.

01:00:59.360 There was an article that came out on AXM, the doctor website, I sent it to you, that talked about the arguments that they've been having in the situation room at the White House.

01:01:08.540 We're literally the entire team is supporting the use of hydroxychloroquine, OK, or Quinn or whatever you say on anecdotal evidence, meaning real world, real doctors on the ground saying this works and at least makes a difference in a positive way.

01:01:26.840 How much it does, we don't know.

01:01:29.740 But you have a man who's sitting there in Fauci saying, well, it hasn't been put through the FDA trial, so we don't shouldn't use it at all.

01:01:37.180 And then you have the media turning around and saying, Trump wants to use this experimental dangerous drug.

01:01:45.020 This shit is like one of the safest drugs that's ever been out.

01:01:47.980 It's a Z-Pak and some other shit that they've been prescribing for years and years and years for different things.

01:01:54.500 For malaria.

01:01:55.000 OK, and this dude is arguing the real world evidence in the state of what's going on in the world.

01:02:01.800 He's arguing against using it because it's biased.

01:02:05.260 He doesn't benefit from.

01:02:06.360 Well, no shit.

01:02:07.380 That's what I'm getting at, bro.

01:02:08.680 So the point is, is what I'm trying to get to here is I think what's going to happen is that Trump is going to step in and he's going to say, OK, enough's enough.

01:02:20.540 You've had your chance.

01:02:21.960 Your models are wrong.

01:02:23.360 We're going back to this.

01:02:25.060 We're going to be safe, which we should.

01:02:27.400 We're going to be conscious, which we should.

01:02:29.640 We're going to be respectful of how we do things, which we should.

01:02:32.600 And honestly, in my opinion, that's how it should have been from the beginning.

01:02:37.120 And then we're going to have a situation that you're going to have half the media, the right leaning media.

01:02:43.940 They're going to attack Fauci and say he's a fucking deep state operative.

01:02:49.460 OK, and it's going to sound like conspiracy stuff.

01:02:54.900 That's what that's what the left's going to say.

01:02:56.620 And the left's going to say, well, Fauci saved us because he's the one that wanted to shut down and all that shit.

01:03:02.600 Right.

01:03:03.140 And they're going to try to make him into a hero.

01:03:04.980 And so what we're going to see, the politicizing of this whole entire issue unfold.

01:03:09.780 And I think we're going to see the company come back.

01:03:14.660 Or I'm sorry, the economy come back pretty quick.

01:03:18.560 And, dude, we're seeing it in the media.

01:03:20.540 You know, here's a headline right here.

01:03:21.780 Fauci's critics are, I'm sorry, critics allege Dr. Fauci is recklessly damaging the economy and blocking supposed wonder treatments like hydroxychloroquine.

01:03:31.520 OK, look, dude, it is what it is.

01:03:35.340 Like, why is there a man who is responsible?

01:03:39.180 Like, I understand that he has a job to do and I understand that his job is to keep people safe.

01:03:45.500 And I understand that he wants to get this to zero, but you cannot continue to abide by all of this nonsense and the red tape and the bureaucracies of trying to funnel out this thing.

01:04:00.240 The drug, right?

01:04:01.880 But when you ask him what he wants to do, they want a vaccine.

01:04:07.060 Well, did you know that fucking you cannot sue the government over a vaccine in terms of the side effects?

01:04:11.760 Like, dude, if you take a vaccine and it causes you to have this or that, you can't do anything about it.

01:04:19.620 So he's not worried about that danger, but he's worried about something as simple as an antibiotic and hydroxychloroquine to treat malaria.

01:04:26.980 That's weird to me.

01:04:28.160 And it should be weird to everybody.

01:04:29.660 And the truth of the matter is, is if you dig just a little bit beneath the surface, why isn't Trump listening to five or six other doctors?

01:04:38.420 Well, that would.

01:04:39.020 Wait, wait, I'm going somewhere with this.

01:04:40.580 So you got a panel of doctors, all right, who are who are these kind of doctors and you're listening.

01:04:47.580 So this is what's going on in my crazy brain.

01:04:51.140 Like, I wonder if Trump's not letting these dudes hang themselves so that he could come back out after this and be like, well, I followed what they recommended and this is what happened.

01:05:00.560 They were fucking wrong.

01:05:01.620 And then he's going to tie the relationship back into to the lobbies and all this shit and the media.

01:05:07.940 And I think what we're going to see is because the media pressed this so hard that people were going to die.

01:05:17.400 They've counted on this affecting the economy because Trump's main position is obviously the economy for reelection.

01:05:25.600 So the media looked at this and said, and this is what I'm saying happened a month ago.

01:05:30.660 The media looked at this and said, this is our fucking shot.

01:05:33.300 This is our opportunity to get him.

01:05:35.140 This is our opportunity to villainize him.

01:05:37.060 And they went so fucking hard at him on this that he had, because they created so much fear, he had to react in a defensive way, okay?

01:05:48.160 So he did.

01:05:49.260 He did what I think most people agree was the right move.

01:05:52.740 He shut shit down on the information that he had, right?

01:05:56.780 But what we're about to see is that the information that I've been saying the whole entire time is actually wrong.

01:06:03.160 And that doesn't mean that I don't feel bad for the people who are dying.

01:06:05.880 I'm just saying the entire time, the math has never added up and just never has.

01:06:11.840 So unless there's a million people dead in China that we don't know about, this is what's going on right now.

01:06:21.640 And what's happening is, I think, this is what I think, this is my opinion, and you can disagree with it all you want.

01:06:27.640 I think what we're seeing is an exposing of the elite network of decision makers, and I think this is all going to come out in the wash.

01:06:38.740 And I think when it does, the left's going to say Fauci was a hero.

01:06:42.260 The right's going to say Fauci fucking made this happen.

01:06:44.600 And then we're going to have hearings and all this shit.

01:06:49.380 But the bottom line of the whole entire scenario, man, is that there's millions of people right now that are probably going to be set back at least a few years in their fucking careers and jobs and companies.

01:07:05.400 And we don't – our life is limited.

01:07:08.980 Our lives matter too, not just the people who are sick.

01:07:12.420 It's the truth.

01:07:13.540 Nobody wants to say it.

01:07:14.920 Nobody wants to stand up in our situation, what's going on with our media and with the culture in America, and say, not enough people are dying to justify this response.

01:07:25.300 And that's – dude, because the minute you say it, you're a fucking piece of shit.

01:07:30.940 I mean, dude, I've had people just blasting the fuck out of me saying, well, you only care about money.

01:07:35.920 No, I don't.

01:07:36.620 It's not about money.

01:07:37.620 It's about people's fucking lives.

01:07:39.580 It's not just the sick people.

01:07:41.960 There's healthy people that are going to be ruined from this.

01:07:44.520 And you want to know what's going to cause that?

01:07:46.640 Poverty, sickness, suicide, abuse.

01:07:50.540 Okay?

01:07:51.080 There's all – crime.

01:07:52.360 There's all kinds of things that come from what has just happened that are not good.

01:07:58.280 And those aren't being considered or talked about at all.

01:08:00.840 So if we're going to talk about what I think is going to happen is exactly what I said on March 9th when I fucking put it out on the internet and everybody got mad at me about it.

01:08:11.480 Look, we have a battle going on behind the scenes.

01:08:15.800 Two battles.

01:08:16.220 Yeah.

01:08:16.560 But we have a political battle going on behind the scenes.

01:08:19.340 It's the battle between the rich motherfuckers that control everything and Donald Trump.

01:08:25.460 That's what the battle is.

01:08:26.580 And I think that he's such a good strategy guy.

01:08:29.340 I think he fucking knows it.

01:08:30.780 And I think he's letting these guys string themselves out.

01:08:33.400 And he's going to come out real soon and say, all right, enough's enough.

01:08:36.640 We're going to investigate the whole thing.

01:08:38.380 And when they investigate the whole thing, we're going to find out who the fuck and what was said and what was done.

01:08:43.100 And I think those people are going to be held accountable.

01:08:45.200 Well, I hope so.

01:08:45.720 I hope that for once.

01:08:48.660 Because, dude, when you watch Trump and Fauci on TV, they're not fucking friends right now.

01:08:53.260 You saw it about day five or six.

01:08:55.020 He didn't let them come back out and speak.

01:08:56.380 Yeah.

01:08:56.700 For a reason.

01:08:57.540 Well, it's not even his loud mouth.

01:08:59.700 You can tell he's.

01:09:00.440 Listen, when you give somebody that much power, it's an ego trip, man.

01:09:03.220 He wanted to keep popping back out of that podium.

01:09:05.220 We're seeing that, too.

01:09:06.240 Oh, no, no.

01:09:06.580 We're seeing a lot of people.

01:09:07.800 Okay, let's talk about the ego problem.

01:09:09.900 And look, this is with a lot of people right now.

01:09:14.380 All right.

01:09:14.700 How many texts did we get from all of our friends?

01:09:18.100 And I'm talking to all of you guys right now listening from all of our friends that have their fucking dad's brothers, cousins, mama's sister's boyfriend, baby mama who works at the White House, who knows Trump, who said that a trillion people are going to die.

01:09:33.080 How many texts did we get like that?

01:09:35.420 Yeah.

01:09:35.880 I got them from everybody I fucking know.

01:09:38.100 Okay?

01:09:39.260 Well, at least you know who cares about you.

01:09:40.320 Wait, wait, wait.

01:09:41.200 No, they don't care about me.

01:09:42.900 That's not why they sent it.

01:09:44.280 This is what I'm getting at.

01:09:45.320 I understand.

01:09:45.760 What I'm getting at is everybody in this culture wants to break the news.

01:09:50.580 Everybody wants to have the answer.

01:09:52.860 Everybody wants to be right.

01:09:55.020 And what's happening now because of that, because, dude, we're even seeing doctors who are not even practicing in hospitals that are seeing COVID patients coming out and saying, holy shit, this is the end of the world, blah, blah, blah.

01:10:10.300 And, dude, people believe that shit because they're doctors, all right?

01:10:14.600 Well, let me explain something to you.

01:10:16.620 Not all doctors are the same.

01:10:18.480 There's doctors that work on you and then there's the doctors that train those doctors, all right?

01:10:23.880 The other thing is is that, dude, doctors are humans too, man.

01:10:27.700 Like when you stick someone in a high-stress position like a doctor or a nurse and they're dealing with all this shit they don't know, they're fucking scared too.

01:10:35.180 So, dude, they're going out and they're unintentionally, you know, because they want people to stay the fuck home, they're making the fear worse.

01:10:44.480 And, dude, we have a big problem here right now with ego and wanting to be right from a cultural standpoint.

01:10:53.260 Every media guy reporting here is not reporting the news because they want to help you.

01:10:58.380 They're reporting the news because they want to get a fucking Emmy or whatever they get in the news for the great way they presented the story.

01:11:06.440 It's a fucking egotistical viewpoint on the information being delivered by nearly everybody in this country right now.

01:11:13.000 And everybody out there, you need to stop, you need to think and stop and ask yourself a question.

01:11:20.520 What in my life have I accomplished in this term or in this context of the topic I'm about to speak about that makes me credible?

01:11:34.980 Because it's weird to me that people that, like, literally, like, I see people on Instagram who, like, I've seen for 10 years.

01:11:43.160 They've never done fucking shit.

01:11:44.740 And all of a sudden, they're a motherfucking communicable disease expert.

01:11:48.860 It's like, dude, what the fuck?

01:11:50.520 You know what I'm saying?

01:11:51.220 Like, you can't even hold a fucking job, motherfucker.

01:11:54.460 And, dude, we have all these people coming out of the woodwork that think they have the answer.

01:11:58.680 Now, I'm giving you my intelligent guess on what's going on.

01:12:02.600 I believe I'm right.

01:12:04.020 And you could judge me for that.

01:12:05.240 That doesn't mean that I think it's okay that people die or that I think it's less important that people die than the economy.

01:12:12.240 I think, like you said, there's an intersection there that we have to find.

01:12:16.440 But we're coming to it.

01:12:17.660 Like, this country cannot continue to operate and continue to be – because, dude, think of just the mental aspects of the hangover of this.

01:12:27.060 People aren't going to line up to go to opening day.

01:12:29.560 People aren't going to feel comfortable going to a theater.

01:12:32.360 People aren't going to want to go to a concert.

01:12:34.080 They're not going to want to go to a gym on day one.

01:12:37.140 Dude, this has really fucked people up mentally.

01:12:39.740 And, dude, let's not even talk about the stress and anxiety levels for the last four fucking weeks straight.

01:12:45.680 Being at levels 100.

01:12:48.060 What do you think that does for your health?

01:12:49.900 I can tell you what it does.

01:12:50.920 It hardens your fucking arteries and gives you problems later.

01:12:54.920 One very stressful situation like that can have an impact on your fucking health forever.

01:13:00.120 It's the truth.

01:13:01.260 Science.

01:13:02.120 Okay?

01:13:03.620 We have a big problem here in the United States that we cannot get the truth when we need the truth.

01:13:11.260 All right?

01:13:11.660 And I'm all for the media having their opinions, dude.

01:13:14.840 Like, there's certain guys I like watching.

01:13:16.780 And I love their opinions, even if I don't agree with them all the time.

01:13:19.460 You know what I'm saying?

01:13:21.220 Like, there's people out there, but I understand what I'm watching.

01:13:26.700 Like, I understand I'm watching a human who has gathered data just like me and then expressing an opinion or viewpoint.

01:13:34.680 Most people do not understand that.

01:13:36.960 Most people watch these people and they believe that that's the facts.

01:13:41.080 Correct.

01:13:41.420 Like, they have everything.

01:13:42.600 Correct.

01:13:43.020 And they don't.

01:13:43.680 And so we have to create a system in this country where the news and the opinion and interpretation of the news are clearly identifiable as separate by the average American person.

01:13:58.440 Because the biggest problem I've been getting pushed back on, besides, you know, people attacking me because I've worked my fucking ass off for 21 years to live the life I live.

01:14:08.400 And I'm not in a position where I'm, you know, fucking homeless or whatever right now.

01:14:14.680 I earned that shit, by the way.

01:14:16.940 By all the time everybody else was out doing whatever they do, I've fucking been doing this.

01:14:21.700 21 fucking years.

01:14:23.100 Okay?

01:14:24.400 And I have empathy for people.

01:14:26.420 I've given away almost 400 grand of my own fucking money during this time.

01:14:30.500 Okay?

01:14:30.940 I gave away 100 grand to the blues and I've been giving away $5,000 increments to people who fucking need it and $10,000 increments to people who need it.

01:14:37.860 And don't ask me either.

01:14:39.220 Because these are people that I fucking follow and know have kids and children and all this other shit that they need to fucking take care of.

01:14:48.540 All right?

01:14:49.020 This isn't a charity.

01:14:50.160 But I'm making a point.

01:14:51.500 The point is this.

01:14:54.580 We have to look out for each other and we have to fucking know when we're being manipulated, when we're being fucked with, when we're being lied to.

01:15:03.380 And right now, under the current situation, we do not know that.

01:15:07.860 We just don't know.

01:15:08.600 We don't know.

01:15:09.320 And you can't take it for face value.

01:15:11.060 You can't.

01:15:11.860 And that's a pretty shitty scenario whenever we actually need the facts so that we can make decisions about where we're going to fucking do and how we're going to live and what's going on.

01:15:21.760 Because, like, dude, a lot of the anxiety that's being felt right now is just from people not knowing.

01:15:25.920 Yeah.

01:15:26.260 It's just people not knowing.

01:15:27.480 Like, dude, is this shit going to melt my skin off?

01:15:30.160 Right.

01:15:30.460 And kill everybody?

01:15:31.400 Well, at least tell us so maybe we can prepare for it.

01:15:35.700 You know?

01:15:36.080 Like, or is it what I think it is, which is a bunch of shit to get somebody out of office that they don't fucking like?

01:15:44.000 You know?

01:15:44.500 And, like, dude, people will argue, oh, well, it's happening all over the world.

01:15:48.160 Sure it is.

01:15:49.680 But who's to say that, you know, this isn't blown up extra huge?

01:15:53.980 You have countries like Sweden who haven't even fucking shut down.

01:15:58.180 They haven't even shut down.

01:15:59.600 They're still operating under certain, you know, masks, gloves, hand washing, social distance.

01:16:05.820 And they're letting people choose to be careful.

01:16:08.140 And guess what?

01:16:08.660 They're doing okay.

01:16:10.260 Right?

01:16:11.000 Like, dude, what's happening here is not okay.

01:16:15.560 It's not okay.

01:16:16.340 And people, whether you lean left or right or whatever it is you believe, you gotta at least, at least come together on the fact that we deserve the fucking facts.

01:16:28.260 That's my whole gripe here.

01:16:30.400 I respect other people's political opinions.

01:16:33.640 I'm okay with you not liking Trump.

01:16:35.860 I'm okay if you love Trump.

01:16:37.720 Okay?

01:16:38.140 I'm okay with whatever the fuck you think.

01:16:40.040 I think this should be a free fucking country to do generally what you want to do.

01:16:45.220 All right?

01:16:46.360 But, dude, we gotta have the truth, man.

01:16:49.680 And we gotta know it's the truth.

01:16:51.380 We shouldn't be having to fucking watch three different news channels trying to read between the lines to get the facts.

01:16:58.280 That's not okay.

01:16:59.600 And that's my gripe.

01:17:00.500 And, dude, you know what?

01:17:01.400 There's a lot of good media people out there, too.

01:17:03.360 I'm not gonna fucking throw everybody into that.

01:17:05.260 There's a lot of reporters out there and a lot of people on TV, like, locally, in your local area.

01:17:10.360 You know, like, the people here in St. Louis.

01:17:12.320 These people are not on CNN and Fox and this, where they're getting directed to say this and this and this and this and this.

01:17:19.460 And they're generally trying to report the fucking news.

01:17:22.760 But still, how can they report the news if they don't have the fucking facts?

01:17:28.700 You know?

01:17:29.080 Like, dude, we just have a big problem with misinformation.

01:17:32.560 And, like, these people who have purposefully spread misinformation, like, on purpose.

01:17:38.040 Like, you know, they talk about the information war of, like, people trying to put stuff out just to fuck shit up.

01:17:42.640 Like, they should fucking track those people down and put them in fucking prison.

01:17:47.380 Well, I would imagine it's trackable at this point in time.

01:17:49.360 Dude, they're tracking where the fuck we go.

01:17:51.040 I'm sure they can track who started that shit.

01:17:53.700 Yeah, I just, you know, there's a couple things that I think need to be highlighted.

01:17:56.780 And it's important.

01:17:58.060 You know, what we're dealing with is real in the grand scheme of things.

01:18:02.440 And it's real for a lot of places.

01:18:03.740 It's super real.

01:18:04.760 And I think there are people who need to be highlighted for that.

01:18:07.200 You know, as a father, and you think about the nurses and doctors who are on the front lines who have to go into the unknown because we're not aware.

01:18:18.560 That fucking sucks.

01:18:19.620 It's no different than a soldier.

01:18:21.320 Dude, I know.

01:18:22.020 And it's an unknown, and that's not fair.

01:18:23.980 You know, when you're starting to fucking with people's lives like that as well.

01:18:27.100 You know, maybe they're undersupplied.

01:18:31.640 They don't know.

01:18:32.840 They're fearful.

01:18:33.760 That's another topic that, like, we hadn't talked about at all.

01:18:37.200 You know, why were we not ready for this?

01:18:40.800 That ain't Trump's fault, by the way.

01:18:42.140 There was a fucking act that was put into play when George Bush II was put in office, and then it was cut out by the next administration.

01:18:51.060 Yeah, and I'm not educated enough on that stuff, so I don't know.

01:18:54.800 I just sit here and think, man, you know, my wife's a nurse.

01:18:58.020 She doesn't work in that particular field.

01:18:59.340 But, you know, if she had to go in and battle on the front lines every day, I'd probably tell her to stay home.

01:19:04.780 Yeah, no shit.

01:19:05.460 And that's, like, I know that's super selfish of me.

01:19:07.760 Well, dude, think about these guys.

01:19:09.560 They, like, the nurses and the doctors, for real, okay?

01:19:13.080 They're getting the same information we're getting plus a little bit more, but not all of it.

01:19:18.140 You know, and, dude, how would you feel if you, like, legitimately think, you know, I've got to go in here, because there's viral load, too.

01:19:27.140 Like, there's, you know, it's not just being exposed to it.

01:19:30.380 It's how much you're exposed to it.

01:19:32.180 So, like, a lot of these people, like, you hear about some of these younger doctors getting sick and dying.

01:19:36.840 Well, the reason they're getting sick and dying and they're fucking 35 years old is because they're exposed to this shit for a long time, and a lot of it, and it ends up killing them.

01:19:45.680 There's doctors right now who are literally fucking losing their lives trying to fucking stop this shit.

01:19:52.380 Well, and I think it says a lot about our medical community, man.

01:19:55.260 You've got to have a lot of balls as a young guy, young girl, anybody to go in.

01:19:59.960 I know they signed up for it in some way, shape, or form.

01:20:02.320 I just, you know, from a misinformation or not enough information or not enough protection, dude, it just sucks.

01:20:06.980 It sucks for those people.

01:20:08.140 Yeah, it does, man.

01:20:08.720 You know, because it's going to affect not just old people.

01:20:12.220 You know, that's not the case, and I think that was some of the narrative, you know, that went on on the front end.

01:20:16.180 Early on, yeah.

01:20:16.800 Yeah, not just, you know, the comorbidities.

01:20:19.740 It's a real thing.

01:20:20.420 You know, if you have a heart disease, you're overweight, you're severely overweight, you know, and those are realities, but the realities is we have, you know, nurses and doctors out there dying as well.

01:20:29.600 You know, and that's a scary fucking thing, and that's, I go back to, and this is, I try to, the more mature version of me, and I always say, man, if I was Trump, what would I do?

01:20:37.400 If I was Trump, what would I do?

01:20:39.780 And it's.

01:20:40.300 I would probably do exactly what he's doing.

01:20:41.880 I agree.

01:20:42.260 And you know what?

01:20:43.860 He's in a really tough, shitty spot.

01:20:47.660 And, you know, I think the thing that I would do is I would eliminate Fauci or include him into the panel, and I would have a, I would have.

01:20:54.380 You can't let one man give you the fucking.

01:20:56.640 I'd have 13 people.

01:20:57.560 That's right.

01:20:57.920 And it would be, it would be six.

01:20:59.900 That's right.

01:21:00.440 Six businesses in some way, shape, or form.

01:21:02.360 You know, the Farmers Union, you know, General Motors, you know, like whatever, the six, six qualified people.

01:21:09.500 Smart people.

01:21:10.080 That care, that have a lot of employees that fucking care about their employees.

01:21:13.300 Yes.

01:21:13.920 Six medical people who care about the medical community, who care about and understand disease.

01:21:19.060 I don't, I'm not an epidemiologist.

01:21:20.480 I don't fucking know disease.

01:21:21.340 Is this thing one, is this thing fucking radical?

01:21:23.420 I don't, I really don't know.

01:21:25.260 Could it be?

01:21:26.140 Certainly.

01:21:26.780 Well, fuck, dude.

01:21:27.400 Just go to the internet.

01:21:28.060 I'll tell you all about what it is.

01:21:29.280 No, but my, my, my point being is like, I certainly would trust.

01:21:33.420 I think there's, if you put, if you put those guys into a panel, they would probably call

01:21:37.600 bullshit on each other.

01:21:38.880 You know what I'm saying?

01:21:39.540 Like, here's one guy fucking touting that it's World War 28.

01:21:42.220 Well, dude, you got, that's what happened on Saturday.

01:21:44.720 That happened on Saturday.

01:21:45.680 Did I send you that?

01:21:46.680 Yeah.

01:21:47.040 Did you read it?

01:21:47.880 I watched it this morning.

01:21:49.120 Yeah, like dude, they got in a big fight there Saturday.

01:21:51.920 They asked Larry Cutlow, who's, you know, chief economist.

01:21:54.720 They were like, Hey, how'd the fight go?

01:21:55.840 Is this private meeting?

01:21:56.500 We don't talk about that stuff.

01:21:57.520 But I, and well, I'll tell you this at the end of the meeting, Fauci was staying on his

01:22:03.220 own and everybody else agreed with the other guy.

01:22:05.880 Well, and that's, that's therein lies, therein lies the thing I think, you know, is that panel

01:22:10.020 qualified at that point?

01:22:11.000 I don't know, but I'd have the admiral, I'd have other four branches of the military.

01:22:14.140 They should be in on that shit.

01:22:15.320 I mean, let me ask you some real shit.

01:22:17.680 If there's a fucking vaccination, you getting it?

01:22:21.380 No, no, I'm not.

01:22:22.860 I'm not either way.

01:22:24.040 I'm not either.

01:22:24.800 No fucking way.

01:22:25.860 I'd take that hydroxychloroquine.

01:22:27.360 Yeah, I fold, bro.

01:22:28.260 I really have trust issues.

01:22:29.640 Well, if you don't have trust issues after this, you've certainly fucking should.

01:22:34.680 Yeah.

01:22:35.200 Or if you didn't have them before, you certainly should.

01:22:36.900 You should definitely at least raise your eyebrows to the fact of something, you know, of

01:22:40.660 that magnitude.

01:22:41.280 Dude, it's just a point that it doesn't add up.

01:22:43.260 Like, it just doesn't add up.

01:22:44.920 Like, you can't have a fucking prediction on something where you don't have the fucking

01:22:48.220 data, which has been my argument from day one.

01:22:50.920 Now, we got to ask yourself, why don't they want the data?

01:22:56.100 I know why.

01:22:57.180 I mean, I've watched a couple.

01:22:58.220 I watch all the interviews, you know, is this alcohol again?

01:23:01.720 Sal, why would they not want the data?

01:23:03.820 Well, because they don't want to know the truth.

01:23:05.360 Why do they not want to know the truth?

01:23:06.840 Because it doesn't help their agenda.

01:23:08.160 There you go.

01:23:08.760 Yeah, no, I understand that.

01:23:09.640 But I'm saying, like, you know, I was watching about modelists.

01:23:12.720 So modeling, right?

01:23:13.840 Modeling is only as good as the information you put in.

01:23:16.140 So if you're dumping in the modeling information from Italy, which is unique, it's similar to

01:23:21.760 New York City.

01:23:22.800 Dude, this is the same thing every entrepreneur does when they start their business.

01:23:25.760 Yeah.

01:23:25.980 They go like this.

01:23:27.120 Well, they do the entrepreneur calculator.

01:23:29.300 They get it out and they say, dude, all right.

01:23:31.840 So we got this product.

01:23:33.740 It's $300.

01:23:35.180 It cost us $50.

01:23:37.800 And we're probably going to sell, I don't know, $10,000 a day.

01:23:42.400 We're going to sell $10,000 a day easy.

01:23:45.060 So that's, fuck, dude, we're rich.

01:23:46.720 This is what, that's what entrepreneurs do when they start their business.

01:23:49.260 That's exactly what's fucking happening right now.

01:23:51.340 No, but, and I look at it this way, you know, I think, okay, so we see, you got to throw

01:23:55.880 China out, right?

01:23:56.700 Because who knows?

01:23:57.820 Who knows what the fuck's the truth coming out of there?

01:23:59.460 But the other side of it is, is, all right, they use Italy.

01:24:03.600 Well, Italy's not, it's not a fair model for St. Louis.

01:24:06.800 It's not a fair model for United States.

01:24:08.620 No, no, no.

01:24:09.100 But it's a fair model for New York City.

01:24:11.380 Maybe.

01:24:11.940 There's a cultural difference, dude.

01:24:13.520 I understand.

01:24:14.240 But I'm saying like, if you're going likable audience, but it's certainly not okay for

01:24:17.420 Birmingham, Alabama, you know what I mean?

01:24:19.840 And so like using some reality, like let's.

01:24:22.740 No, what we're observing is, is that in populous, dense places.

01:24:26.880 It's nasty.

01:24:27.520 Yeah, dude.

01:24:28.080 It's fucking nasty.

01:24:28.700 Getting all over people.

01:24:29.620 That's right.

01:24:30.040 Because there's so many people, they're overwhelming the hospitals.

01:24:32.540 And because the hospitals are overwhelmed, people are dying that otherwise wouldn't die.

01:24:36.200 Correct.

01:24:36.780 That's what's happening.

01:24:37.440 Because there's not enough infrastructure.

01:24:38.900 Right.

01:24:39.220 You know, and that's, and that's a real fucking problem.

01:24:41.380 Yeah.

01:24:41.600 Real problem.

01:24:42.240 A real fucking problem.

01:24:42.920 But like, dude, you know, you don't hear that.

01:24:44.460 But so is 20% in unemployment.

01:24:46.560 That's, you know.

01:24:47.840 That's going to fucking, that's going to fucking kill more people long term.

01:24:50.440 So how can you offset both?

01:24:51.840 That would be like, I always believe, you know, and this is my, this has always been my answer.

01:24:55.700 Well, it comes down to a moral question.

01:24:57.980 That's what everybody keeps trying to push on everybody.

01:24:59.900 Everybody keeps trying to say.

01:25:01.400 I ain't trying to play God.

01:25:02.300 No, but I'm saying, if you say that the, this is what I was trying to say about the PC culture.

01:25:08.480 Okay.

01:25:08.840 Let me explain something to you guys.

01:25:11.440 Being a leader means you got to make really hard decisions.

01:25:15.560 Very rarely is there not some sort of like give and take in a decision that's best for everybody.

01:25:21.560 There's never, never, ever, ever is there truly a clear cut decision to make.

01:25:25.620 And that's what being a leader is about.

01:25:27.440 Being a leader is about making those decisions that are hard to fucking make.

01:25:30.980 Okay.

01:25:31.880 And right now we have a culture in America that is willing to fucking bastardize and villainize people for making decisions.

01:25:39.520 And dude, because of that decisions aren't being made.

01:25:43.000 And because decisions aren't being made, this thing is going on and it's getting worse.

01:25:47.140 And do we have a scenario where people don't understand that?

01:25:50.480 Like, Hey, um, this country was founded on people fucking dying.

01:25:56.860 Literally, literally people who believed in a fucking country and a set of principles and a set of values so much that they were willing to fight and die for them.

01:26:09.320 Okay.

01:26:10.000 So making a decision, there's going to be casualties to whatever decision is made.

01:26:15.220 That's the truth.

01:26:16.300 And that's what people aren't considering.

01:26:18.320 So when someone who, you know, cares about the business world comes out and says, Hey, this is going to fuck people up.

01:26:25.180 That doesn't mean they don't respect the people who are sick and vice versa.

01:26:29.060 The people who are saying, man, dude, people are dying.

01:26:32.860 That doesn't mean that they don't understand that people are getting hurt over here in the economy.

01:26:36.680 And that do we just have this culture of wanting to be fucking right.

01:26:41.240 And dude, it's what goes back to the show's principle.

01:26:44.460 This whole entire show's principles.

01:26:46.780 Stop trying to be right and start worrying about what's right.

01:26:51.120 Well, I think, and that's, that was the point that I was going to prove is, is, you know, I've learned this from managing people over the years and you, you, you always hear the extremes, you know?

01:27:02.940 And so if, if I were Trump, what I would do is I would take Larry Cutlow, who's your chief economist or strategist or whatever it is.

01:27:09.560 And his, what's his best interest?

01:27:13.060 If you're the chief economist for the U S of A, what's your best interest?

01:27:15.700 What do you want to do?

01:27:16.180 It's a fucking economy, dude.

01:27:17.500 And what, what, what do you, what do you think he's going to do?

01:27:19.340 What do you think he's going to tell you?

01:27:20.560 Um, he's going to say, open back up.

01:27:22.480 Okay.

01:27:23.000 Then I would go to maybe not Fauci, but the other guy say, Hey, what do you, what do you think is right?

01:27:28.040 And he would say, fucking shut it down for however long.

01:27:30.520 And you know what I've learned about managing employees is the truth usually lies somewhere

01:27:34.080 right in the middle.

01:27:34.780 You got to compromise.

01:27:35.540 You got, and there is, there is a middle ground there that says, okay, you're not going to

01:27:39.460 make the perfect decision, but if you can, and this is, dude, this is time tested through

01:27:43.780 managing hundreds of people.

01:27:46.040 There's an extreme, there's a left and a right.

01:27:47.700 And I think the neutral, the neutral ground is where the decision is to be made.

01:27:50.960 And I think we're coming, we're coming into that, you know?

01:27:53.000 And I, I don't wish that decision upon somebody, you know?

01:27:57.360 And I, I agree with Andrew in a sense, like, you know, the tough people

01:28:00.420 have to make tough decisions, but that doesn't make you the bad guy.

01:28:03.600 It just simply makes you the trigger puller.

01:28:05.820 Yeah, dude.

01:28:06.460 And that's, we, we have a scenario where it's not, it's not okay to make decisions anymore.

01:28:13.020 If one person loses, well, fuck dude, let me let you guys all in on something.

01:28:19.340 So people are going to die.

01:28:20.960 And so people are going to be fucked financially.

01:28:23.700 That's just the reality of the situation.

01:28:26.080 That's right.

01:28:26.540 It's happening regardless.

01:28:27.080 That's reality.

01:28:28.060 This show is called real AF.

01:28:29.740 That means real as fuck.

01:28:31.860 The reality of this situation is people are going to fucking die earlier than what they

01:28:37.700 should have.

01:28:38.740 That happens every day in America.

01:28:40.200 Sadly, it happens every time there's a conflict.

01:28:42.840 It happens every time we do fucking anything.

01:28:45.120 There's people that are going to fucking die, but there's going to be people that die regardless.

01:28:48.660 That's it.

01:28:49.420 Well, in regular life, but I think, but listen to me, I've got more to that point because

01:28:54.160 I don't want people just taking that sound clip and saying, Oh, you don't give a shit.

01:28:58.020 That's a tragedy, dude.

01:29:00.800 That's a fucking tragedy.

01:29:02.600 It sucks.

01:29:03.900 But at the same time, a leader's job is to make a decision that is taking the group's

01:29:10.260 best interest in mind.

01:29:11.920 The group, everyone, the group, not just the people that are sick, the fucking country.

01:29:17.860 Okay.

01:29:19.860 When this decision comes down to open the country, which is going to come soon, we're going to

01:29:24.520 have all these people blast the fuck out of Trump and they just saved it.

01:29:28.720 He just saved their asses because dude, all of these people blasting them, they don't put

01:29:34.280 the two and two and two together and understand that six adds up to them not having a fucking

01:29:39.020 pot to piss in.

01:29:40.500 They haven't thought about that yet.

01:29:41.680 Yeah.

01:29:42.000 And I, I, I think that's the approach, you know, fundamentally looking at it, if I was

01:29:45.960 on the advisory board, right, I would say, man, we got to run, we got to run this, this

01:29:50.480 stop work order or this, this, this, whatever we call it all the way up to the financial

01:29:55.200 model where it turns us into a recession and we'll run it all the way up to that run.

01:29:59.720 And then we got to make a decision, you know what I mean?

01:30:02.780 And we got to sit down and dude, that's a, that's a fucking, but I, you know, when you're

01:30:07.940 the leader of the free world, that's the position you put yourself in, you know?

01:30:11.540 And I, and I, and I think, I don't think anybody can argue the fact that if we had the actual

01:30:16.600 statistical facts and we could trust them, clearer decisions could be made without a

01:30:20.700 doubt, without a doubt.

01:30:21.940 That's all I've been saying the whole time.

01:30:23.320 And I don't think it takes a genius to, to, to, to even if you had the facts.

01:30:26.280 Sal, it must take a genius because no one's talking about it.

01:30:29.280 Well, that just, then it leads back to the path of what, what do they know that we don't?

01:30:32.860 Exactly.

01:30:33.420 I don't know, man.

01:30:34.220 Look, it's a fucking weird situation.

01:30:37.760 And you know, I can tell you this, if I got the shit, my opinion wouldn't change.

01:30:43.460 I've already thought that through.

01:30:44.420 And I have a fucking preexisting heart condition.

01:30:47.900 People don't really realize that.

01:30:49.540 So like, I'm an at risk person for this.

01:30:52.360 My opinion of the whole scenario would not change.

01:30:55.220 Even if I got it, I believe that dude, we cannot fucking shut the world down.

01:30:59.880 Even if dad got it, dad even said so.

01:31:02.380 Oh yeah.

01:31:03.060 Dude, he said, look, but dad's a real G.

01:31:05.420 Yeah.

01:31:05.620 But like, dude, that's what, that's what, that's what America is, dude.

01:31:10.160 It's for the common good.

01:31:11.880 It's not for you.

01:31:13.360 It's the common good.

01:31:14.460 I walked with me the other day.

01:31:15.280 He said, you know what?

01:31:15.940 If, if that was the case, then I got to make the smartest decision to keep myself isolated.

01:31:19.600 We'd figure that out.

01:31:20.880 And he's like, but I've lived a great life and I want you kids not to have to suffer from

01:31:24.960 it.

01:31:25.080 And if that's what it took, then that's what it takes.

01:31:27.200 Dude, that, uh, that Republican, uh, uh, uh, governor or, uh, what is he?

01:31:32.160 The assistant governor from Texas, uh, said that same thing on the news.

01:31:38.060 He said, look, I'm 70 years old.

01:31:39.980 And, uh, Dan Patrick, Dan Patrick said on TV, he said, I'm 70 years old.

01:31:46.700 We, I don't feel it's right to take the futures away of people who are 20 years old and 30

01:31:53.520 years old for me.

01:31:55.920 And then he got crucified for saying it.

01:31:58.940 It's like, dude, he's talking about his own opinion of the matter on his own self.

01:32:03.220 Yeah.

01:32:04.040 Like if you can't have an opinion about yourself, dude, this whole fuck man, that's what I'm

01:32:08.840 saying.

01:32:09.140 Like, do you have an opinion?

01:32:10.760 Like about yourself?

01:32:12.360 I have a lot of opinions about myself.

01:32:14.080 They're all wrong.

01:32:15.040 They're all wrong, bro.

01:32:16.700 I mean, I'm just saying like, we can't live in a country without getting a reliable source

01:32:21.960 of the truth.

01:32:22.840 I'm okay with the fucking, have your opinion shows, Hannity's, the Maddows, fucking do it.

01:32:30.040 Go at it.

01:32:30.680 The real AF.

01:32:31.460 Look, dude, that's right.

01:32:33.040 It's okay to have a fucking opinion and a thought on things.

01:32:35.640 People, you don't have to blast motherfuckers because you catch a house picture in their

01:32:40.520 fucking Instagram that they worked 21 fucking years to get.

01:32:44.800 That's not my fault.

01:32:45.820 This shit happened.

01:32:47.100 I'm doing everything I can.

01:32:49.200 I'm fucking keeping people paid.

01:32:51.080 I'm keeping people employed.

01:32:52.840 I'm helping my fucking entrepreneur friends as much as I can.

01:32:56.160 I'm giving money to the fucking community.

01:32:58.780 What the fuck else are you supposed to do?

01:33:01.740 You know?

01:33:02.320 And still you get every fucking knucklehead on the internet.

01:33:05.100 That, oh, you're fucking post, you're driving your, this car today in this time.

01:33:11.800 Yeah.

01:33:12.820 That's what the fuck I do.

01:33:14.860 Like, doesn't make me insensitive.

01:33:16.400 I'm doing, what are you doing?

01:33:18.120 What are you doing?

01:33:19.000 Let's compare that.

01:33:20.160 What are you doing?

01:33:20.880 You see what I'm saying?

01:33:22.060 Well, I, I, I'm not talking about you.

01:33:24.080 No, I understand.

01:33:25.060 I don't, trust me.

01:33:26.100 I understand.

01:33:26.740 Yeah.

01:33:28.100 Can we go to therapy here?

01:33:29.640 Yeah.

01:33:30.000 If you have an opinion, specifically a strong opinion, Andrew, you're going to learn that

01:33:35.540 there are, there are what these, we call lurkers and they're going to fucking comment to try

01:33:40.400 to piss you off.

01:33:41.320 And you need to learn.

01:33:42.140 It wasn't, it's not a couple of people.

01:33:43.360 I'm saying it's a social temperature of a group, big group.

01:33:45.740 Oh, I understand.

01:33:46.640 But like, that's why I like, but these same people don't really have productive jobs.

01:33:52.280 They aren't really like, like they're the people who live in that fucking la la land

01:33:56.940 shit.

01:33:57.420 So let them fucking be.

01:33:58.940 Yeah.

01:33:59.060 Why do you even follow me then the fuck off my page?

01:34:01.500 That's what they want to do.

01:34:02.380 That's a glimmer of happiness.

01:34:03.100 That's the whole point.

01:34:04.080 They're waiting.

01:34:04.580 They're waiting for the, what they think is the trip.

01:34:06.840 Like, Oh, I'm gonna catch them slipping.

01:34:08.300 You ain't ever going to catch me slip motherfucker.

01:34:10.040 Cause I don't slip.

01:34:10.880 But that's my point.

01:34:11.620 It's like, Hey, put that in our rap songs, bro.

01:34:13.920 That's a good line.

01:34:14.580 I put it.

01:34:15.080 I put a post up the other day, you know, and it was fucking American blah, blah, blah.

01:34:18.380 I got 10,000 likes 1500 comments.

01:34:21.080 And there's like 10 people in there.

01:34:23.540 I fucking hate Trump fucking blah, blah, blah.

01:34:26.060 If you are still hanging on to politics right now, for real, let's be for real.

01:34:31.500 If you are still hanging on to politics right now, like it's, isn't it interesting that none

01:34:37.380 of the shit that mattered fucking two months ago, fucking people are talking about, no one's

01:34:41.240 talking about having 15 bathrooms or 47 genders or racism or any of this shit.

01:34:47.700 We're not talking about it.

01:34:48.700 You know why?

01:34:49.600 Cause there's fucking real important shit happening right now that affects everybody.

01:34:53.840 But yet we still got to fucking hang on to the politics.

01:34:59.120 If you don't like Trump, that's fine.

01:35:02.600 But you're fucking live in America, bro.

01:35:04.800 You're still in this fucking game.

01:35:06.680 Like we're all, we're all in the little arena playing, what is this shit of people who are

01:35:11.520 in the boat, the same boat as you that want to sink the boat?

01:35:15.020 Well, that was my whole point.

01:35:15.820 The whole point about the post is if you're rooting against our, if you're like on my page

01:35:19.220 saying, I hate the president, well, you're rooting against us, motherfucker.

01:35:23.640 Like then get off our team.

01:35:25.440 Like, what would you do?

01:35:26.360 Listen, I'm going to, let's put it to you this way.

01:35:29.120 You're, we're all in a fucking boat.

01:35:30.840 Can we change the, the, the, the boat analogy for me?

01:35:34.240 Oh, why?

01:35:34.660 You know, you try to, you try to promote your own stereotype, bro.

01:35:39.880 I'm just saying, you guys don't understand it.

01:35:41.680 DJ is a DJ is an African American man.

01:35:44.420 Just saying.

01:35:45.040 So is that politically correct?

01:35:46.420 I think that's wrong.

01:35:48.200 Is that wrong?

01:35:48.860 Yeah.

01:35:49.100 Whatever I say is fucking wrong.

01:35:50.500 What is it?

01:35:51.020 Dude, I'm just saying if we're all in a fucking boat, all right.

01:35:54.720 And we look back at the boat and there's a motherfucker drilling holes in the back of

01:35:59.060 the boat.

01:35:59.340 I'm stomping his face.

01:36:00.180 I'm killing him, dude.

01:36:01.440 Yeah.

01:36:01.660 Dude.

01:36:01.880 And I, I look back.

01:36:02.960 I like, dude, a lot of people are showing their true colors right now.

01:36:05.840 That's what I, they're showing their fucking colors, bro.

01:36:08.340 They're showing that they care more about being right than fucking our boat.

01:36:12.980 Not sinking.

01:36:13.700 That's my whole post was you're, you're judging your character shines right now.

01:36:17.540 You're how you react.

01:36:18.360 Your character shines, dude.

01:36:19.440 If Obama wasn't president right now, you know what I think?

01:36:21.660 I say, fuck, dude.

01:36:22.460 I hope Obama makes the right choice.

01:36:23.740 Me too.

01:36:23.980 I hope he, I hope he, I hope he, I hope he, I hope he, I hope he, I hope he finishes it

01:36:25.520 out fucking fast.

01:36:26.600 Fuck, man.

01:36:27.200 Fast.

01:36:27.700 Like, however fucking fast it is.

01:36:29.720 Like, hey, hey, hey, uh, Barry, can I offer any assistance?

01:36:32.960 Dude.

01:36:33.820 Hey, sorry, sorry I didn't vote for you, brother, but nobody, I'm rooting for you.

01:36:37.400 Nobody wins here.

01:36:38.800 You know what I'm saying?

01:36:39.500 Right, dude.

01:36:39.860 Nobody wins.

01:36:41.480 Nobody wins.

01:36:41.820 Like, dude, what is this?

01:36:42.780 Can we win?

01:36:43.480 No, what the fuck are we living in, dude?

01:36:46.140 How have we gotten to a point where people have gotten so divisive that they literally

01:36:50.500 drill holes in America's fucking boat just because they wanted to fucking sink for their

01:36:55.200 own fucking benefit?

01:36:56.780 That's fucking ridiculous, dude.

01:36:59.500 Well, I, you know.

01:37:01.580 That's a, I love that analogy, though.

01:37:03.140 Well, that's it.

01:37:03.840 Like, seriously.

01:37:04.360 That's it.

01:37:05.360 That's literally like.

01:37:06.100 Well, don't be drilling holes.

01:37:07.320 We're throwing off the boat, bro.

01:37:08.460 Dude, I'm patching holes.

01:37:09.580 Post, dude.

01:37:10.280 Which one?

01:37:10.780 You don't support my fucking American.

01:37:12.280 Hey, I follow you.

01:37:13.680 I've been following you.

01:37:14.260 Motherfucker, you should be scared, too, because you can't swim.

01:37:16.740 Yeah, exactly.

01:37:17.540 Yeah.

01:37:18.240 Dude, I'm the first to get a fucking life jacket on.

01:37:20.260 I probably should have.

01:37:20.520 They ain't making a life jacket.

01:37:21.640 Fit your ass.

01:37:22.260 I'm going to put two together.

01:37:23.100 They make it.

01:37:23.640 I'm going to take yours and yours.

01:37:24.960 I'm going to leave.

01:37:27.060 Oh, fuck, man.

01:37:28.300 Well, anyway, let's talk about just closing up because we're getting long-winded here.

01:37:34.600 What would your advice be to people right now?

01:37:36.820 I think the advice is this, man.

01:37:38.160 Together, we're all in this boat, and we all have a role to play.

01:37:41.840 And you know what?

01:37:42.140 I think social distancing has a role to play.

01:37:46.040 Making sure we're abiding by the rules of the CDC, you have a role to play.

01:37:50.500 Your job is to do that.

01:37:52.160 The assholes who are running around Home Depot right now, you're an asshole.

01:37:55.900 I'm sorry.

01:37:56.460 If you have your gym open, and it's only for your fucking buddies in the sense of the 100

01:38:00.880 members that you said are your buddies, you're an asshole.

01:38:03.900 You're a fucking asshole.

01:38:04.960 That's part of the deal.

01:38:06.920 And dude, as hard as it is for people right now, dude, we do need to be respecting what

01:38:13.560 they're asking us to do.

01:38:14.460 Yes.

01:38:14.780 That's our role.

01:38:16.120 That's our fucking role.

01:38:17.400 And the second you think it doesn't apply to you, you are an asshole.

01:38:20.560 Let's talk about the other people.

01:38:21.980 Like the people who are going to figure out how to steal the federal money and steal it.

01:38:27.120 I already see people talking about it.

01:38:28.560 I know.

01:38:28.820 No.

01:38:29.340 You're an asshole.

01:38:30.340 Yeah.

01:38:30.620 You are an asshole.

01:38:31.420 Yeah.

01:38:31.860 You're going to figure out how to-

01:38:33.240 How to screw the government out of a few dollars because you feel like they're screwing you.

01:38:37.080 No, they're not screwing you, motherfucker.

01:38:38.980 They're allowing you to live in a civilized society.

01:38:41.320 People don't realize what the fuck they pay for.

01:38:43.500 You pay for the roads.

01:38:44.860 You pay for protection.

01:38:46.300 You pay for education.

01:38:48.260 You pay for all these things that allow you to live in a civilized world.

01:38:52.220 Let's talk about that one step further, though.

01:38:54.260 This is the shit that God does judge.

01:38:56.560 This is karma, my motherfucker.

01:38:57.720 Oh, dude.

01:38:58.300 I was talking to Gary Vee, man.

01:38:59.420 So karma, karma is the next train that rolls on these people.

01:39:04.340 Because, dude, people are going to remember who was who during this time.

01:39:07.600 And Gary said to me this, dude, like, this is a fucking great story about Gary.

01:39:11.680 And like, dude, you know, I don't agree with everything Gary says, but he's my friend and

01:39:15.100 I fucking love Gary.

01:39:16.520 And sometimes we'll jab at each other a little bit and, you know, we'll poke fun.

01:39:21.060 You know, both of us like being right, just like everybody else.

01:39:23.400 We just do.

01:39:24.120 But both of us try to be right logically.

01:39:26.540 And about a month ago, he was saying he said something to me, man, that's just that's

01:39:32.560 just fucking that just stuck.

01:39:34.780 And his I'm not going to tell the whole story because it has to do with all the fake entrepreneurs

01:39:38.660 out there, which, by the way, they're getting taught a fucking valuable lesson right now.

01:39:41.940 Huh?

01:39:42.660 But every fucking Lamborghini Huracan ever, ever fucking built is on fucking eBay right now.

01:39:48.820 Right.

01:39:50.020 So Facebook marketplace.

01:39:51.800 Yeah, dude.

01:39:53.040 But but anyway, he said to me, he said, look, dude, hell's a bad place.

01:40:01.180 And I'm like, fuck.

01:40:02.360 Yeah, that's gold.

01:40:03.320 Like hell's a bad place.

01:40:04.900 And like, dude, what he was saying was, hey, man, people with with without ethics and people

01:40:10.040 without, you know, the ability to make a good decision for themselves and people and do the

01:40:16.240 right thing.

01:40:17.300 They get their they get their they get their penance.

01:40:20.680 You know what I'm saying?

01:40:21.180 They get their punishment.

01:40:21.940 And I believe that.

01:40:23.340 And dude, he said that to me on this because like, dude, I was venting to him about how much

01:40:27.840 I can't stand how much how many people are out there trying to sell how to be an entrepreneur

01:40:33.780 who've never fucking been one.

01:40:35.180 I fucking hate it.

01:40:36.860 I fucking hate it.

01:40:38.700 If you listen to my show for the last five years, you know, I fucking hate it.

01:40:44.080 And there's a lot of people right now getting what they deserve because they went and shit

01:40:48.740 on people for the last however many years.

01:40:50.620 But he said he said, dude, he said, you need to stop watching them.

01:40:54.360 And I'm like, I can't I can't help it.

01:40:56.200 You know, I was pissed.

01:40:57.040 You should tell him, ask, put yourself in my fucking shoes.

01:40:59.700 No, I said to him, I said, I said, I said, Gary, the problem I have.

01:41:05.080 And I went through and I said all the shit I just said, like, you know, these motherfuckers,

01:41:08.020 they never did shit.

01:41:09.700 And they people believe them and they spend their their last thousand bucks with these

01:41:13.500 people.

01:41:13.900 They're investing in their funds.

01:41:15.040 They're doing this, this, this.

01:41:16.260 And dude, I'm like, and he's like, bro, stop watching him.

01:41:19.360 He's like, and dude, I will say this.

01:41:21.520 And this is fucking this is big props to Gary.

01:41:24.060 Gary goes, look, dude, all it's going to take is one blip in the economy to correct

01:41:29.680 that problem.

01:41:30.760 Do what you do.

01:41:32.360 You're good at what you do.

01:41:33.760 Keep doing it.

01:41:34.740 And let them dig their own holes.

01:41:37.240 And then fucking 30 days later, the shit happens.

01:41:40.300 I text him when it happened.

01:41:41.440 I could do.

01:41:41.880 You were right.

01:41:42.960 And dude, that's like, that's like me telling you, you're right.

01:41:46.220 Which happens.

01:41:46.960 Never.

01:41:47.020 That does not fucking happen because you ain't ever right.

01:41:50.140 But the point is, the point.

01:41:52.800 That new building will tell you different, dog.

01:41:55.940 Damn.

01:41:57.280 You act like I didn't have nothing to do with that.

01:41:59.540 Motherfucker, I was talking about that shit in 2009.

01:42:02.340 So anyway, my point is, is I believe in that.

01:42:06.720 I believe that the karma train is going to be rolling.

01:42:09.980 It's rolling hard, son.

01:42:11.660 And be careful which car you get on.

01:42:13.120 For both ways, though, right?

01:42:14.280 Oh, yeah.

01:42:14.560 Oh, yeah.

01:42:14.960 This is a karma decision, son.

01:42:18.660 This is, do you take the money out of the kitty just because no one's looking?

01:42:21.500 Right.

01:42:22.080 And deal with the repercussions?

01:42:23.380 Or do you leave it in there and just know that you're going to have to go through what you got?

01:42:26.420 Absolutely.

01:42:26.740 Dude, you know what, man?

01:42:27.800 I think that's, dude, you know, people are arguing that.

01:42:31.480 I see that in the entrepreneur world because there's companies that don't need it that are like debating whether or not to take it.

01:42:37.360 And then there's company, you know, it's kind of like that bailout we had back then.

01:42:40.300 I feel like it's different than that, though.

01:42:42.000 I feel like that was like gross, you know, just gross mismanagement and lies and dirty shit in 08, you know?

01:42:51.380 And I feel like this is just like some shit that nobody could control.

01:42:55.240 And there needs to be some financial aid to sort of just kind of reset the place where everybody was when this started.

01:43:01.760 So, like, I feel mixed on that.

01:43:06.940 But I think really where the karma train is going to roll for people is, like, what did you do during this time?

01:43:15.000 Oh, yeah.

01:43:15.620 You know what I'm saying?

01:43:16.340 What did you do?

01:43:17.400 Did you help your community?

01:43:20.720 Did you get out and offer and do what you can?

01:43:23.260 Or did you just sit in front of Netflix and do nothing?

01:43:25.260 That's why I try to promote a positive message every day.

01:43:27.380 You know what?

01:43:27.860 Every fucking day.

01:43:28.500 That's why I've been quiet, dude.

01:43:30.720 You know why I've been quiet?

01:43:31.560 Because I'm so fucking mad that literally everything I say comes off as like I'm a fucking psychopath, which, dude, partly sometimes I can be.

01:43:40.680 But the point is.

01:43:41.380 Partly he defines about 98%.

01:43:43.680 That's part.

01:43:44.960 That's part.

01:43:46.040 That's fucking part.

01:43:47.120 But the point is, is that, like, dude, I just, this isn't about me personally.

01:43:52.680 This is about all my friends, man, and all the people I don't know about and the people, like, dude, I talked to.

01:43:58.880 But isn't that okay that your opinion's about you?

01:44:02.380 Like, isn't that okay?

01:44:04.440 I guess, well, no, it's not.

01:44:06.540 That's my point.

01:44:07.460 It's not.

01:44:07.980 But the point is, like, it's a, I'm getting, like, into a weird place here because, like, I'm like, okay, we're good.

01:44:15.580 We did the right things.

01:44:16.620 We did the right things for a long time.

01:44:18.320 Like, for example, like, dude, we're one of the only companies that has been promoting health as a foundation since 2015 or 16, okay?

01:44:28.180 Nobody's doing that.

01:44:29.060 But yet everybody else now is like, oh, dude, immune boost.

01:44:32.740 There's no fucking immune boost product.

01:44:34.640 Look, dude, health starts with watching what the fuck you eat and moving and being mindful of that.

01:44:39.860 And we've been saying that for years.

01:44:41.220 But how many predators in our fucking industry are now trying to capitalize on it?

01:44:44.740 Hey, man.

01:44:45.240 Everyone.

01:44:45.760 And I'm, I'm, I'm, uh, listen, I feel really good about who we are.

01:44:50.320 Bro, I've never been prouder to be a part of this company.

01:44:52.500 That's right.

01:44:53.060 And so.

01:44:53.520 That's the truth.

01:44:54.000 I, I still, like, I don't, that's why I'm not worried about the noise.

01:44:56.800 I'm not worried about that.

01:44:57.760 But what I, but see where I get upset and a lot of people have been like, goddamn, dude, are your companies fucking burning the ground?

01:45:03.800 No, man.

01:45:04.980 We're fine.

01:45:06.680 Dude, look, I'm responsible.

01:45:08.460 Like, I'm not one of these motherfuckers that goes out and spends every fucking dollar on his fucking lifestyle.

01:45:13.720 I live a great lifestyle because we do very well.

01:45:17.240 And, you know, we've been responsible.

01:45:20.460 So we're going to be able to bridge the gap and do the right things for employees and all these things.

01:45:24.020 But the point of what I'm trying to say, dude, is that, like, you know, there's a lot of people out there that they, dude, it comes down to the entitlement thing, man.

01:45:35.240 They want to fucking be in a great spot right now.

01:45:38.120 And, dude, we just ain't in a great spot.

01:45:39.960 Nobody.

01:45:40.580 Yeah.

01:45:40.980 Nobody.

01:45:41.640 And, like, that, that doesn't mean that it's okay to, like, trash the people who might be doing okay.

01:45:48.280 Those people are doing everything that they can to try to help the community.

01:45:51.120 But even understand that, like, we're weathering the storm.

01:45:56.060 We're not.

01:45:56.480 Dude, to answer your question, Sal, I don't think that people fucking think it's okay to feel right now the way that I don't think it's okay for someone who's built a successful life to feel good right now.

01:46:08.700 Like, I don't think that's a public opinion that is everybody wants to see rich people crying and lose all their shit.

01:46:15.720 We're seeing it.

01:46:17.120 Like, I've seen people celebrating the demise of other people.

01:46:20.320 I just fucking fucked up.

01:46:22.280 Disgusting.

01:46:23.180 Well, I just, you know, I try not to let people, I do, and I've built this over time.

01:46:29.580 I learned this when I was, I learned this when I played.

01:46:32.180 You know, because I used to get so wrapped up in what everybody said about me and it is what it is.

01:46:36.140 And I realized, man, like, one, it's not healthy for me.

01:46:39.100 Two, I'm going to do me.

01:46:41.780 And I'm good.

01:46:42.400 I know the moral code in which I live by.

01:46:44.600 And I know that I lay my head down at night.

01:46:46.500 I know the decisions that I make.

01:46:48.000 And I have to deal with those repercussions all the time.

01:46:50.320 And that's why I talk about the karma train.

01:46:52.140 Like, you know, we're struggling in our own capacity right now.

01:46:56.280 Are we doing as well as we would have normally been doing?

01:46:58.520 No.

01:46:58.820 Fuck no, we're not.

01:46:59.460 Not even close.

01:46:59.940 No, when I say we're doing good, I mean we're fucking, it's conditional.

01:47:04.100 Our boat's in the water.

01:47:05.280 Considering the context of what's happening, we're doing good.

01:47:07.940 And you know what?

01:47:08.420 And we got a great team that's grabbing fucking buckets and we're bailing fucking water.

01:47:12.160 Dude, I'll tell you what.

01:47:13.200 I've never been rowing.

01:47:14.340 But I feel tremendously.

01:47:15.740 Yeah, and still rowing.

01:47:16.100 And I feel tremendously proud about the decisions we make that are financially tough for our company,

01:47:21.180 which is keep everybody on and continue the path and move into our building.

01:47:24.400 And we're doing, those are things that like, and quite honestly, what I learned is, and this

01:47:28.540 isn't what, oh, give a fuck what everybody says.

01:47:30.460 I know.

01:47:31.520 I know what I have to deal with, and I know the moral code in which I live by, and I don't

01:47:34.440 really give a fuck what everybody says.

01:47:35.280 Yeah, but dude, like I think, you know, in closing on the podcast, I think it would be

01:47:39.660 a good thing for America if people would maybe stop to consider other people's perspective

01:47:44.940 before trying to jam down whatever it is your beliefs are.

01:47:48.600 Because I'm going to tell you right now, if you can look around your life and you see

01:47:52.860 nothing, nothing that you've actually accomplished, and you think you're going to jam your opinion

01:47:58.240 and everybody's going to listen to you, you have to be credible for people

01:48:01.260 to listen to you.

01:48:02.180 And that's the problem that people don't understand.

01:48:04.120 It goes back to what I said about awareness.

01:48:06.560 When I go to speak on things, I don't just fucking speak.

01:48:10.780 I kind of think like, okay, does the person I'm speaking to know more about this than me?

01:48:18.400 Should I maybe ask them instead of, you know, just say what I think?

01:48:23.580 And then if you disagree, you're a piece of shit.

01:48:26.060 Like that's not what intelligent people do.

01:48:28.120 You know, and we have a lot of people on the internet that just aren't intelligent.

01:48:33.020 Fuck them.

01:48:33.700 Yeah.

01:48:34.500 You know what I'm saying?

01:48:35.300 Like, I ain't worried about that.

01:48:35.720 Well, the problem I get is whenever, you know, whenever they're going on fucking Emily's

01:48:39.500 page and fucking talking shit to her.

01:48:41.060 Well, they would come on my page and talk shit about you on my page.

01:48:43.600 And guess what I say?

01:48:44.740 Fuck you.

01:48:45.360 Like?

01:48:46.000 Yeah.

01:48:46.560 Yeah, no shit.

01:48:47.200 I just let them know, hey, I'm not playing them.

01:48:51.920 Little kids play little kid games.

01:48:53.660 Dude, I know.

01:48:54.160 But I'm just saying it's a, dude, that grows into other things.

01:48:58.040 That, this is why the people like that is the reason why the media is able to fucking

01:49:03.020 get away with the shit that they get away with.

01:49:05.300 Dude, I could tell you a funny story.

01:49:07.220 Okay.

01:49:07.580 And this is in closing.

01:49:08.800 We were in Wichita, Kansas.

01:49:10.100 We were playing Wichita State.

01:49:11.120 And as the rudest, most fucking, ruthless fucking fans.

01:49:14.920 Worse than ours?

01:49:15.780 Dude, on planet fucking Earth.

01:49:17.520 And I mean, SIU Carbondales?

01:49:19.100 Oh, yeah.

01:49:19.640 After a bottle of Bacardi?

01:49:21.080 Yeah.

01:49:23.680 Yeah.

01:49:24.320 These are, these are kids and old people, man.

01:49:26.520 And you'd walk up in the stands.

01:49:28.440 And I remember Cal, who was our coach, he's a fucking stud.

01:49:31.060 And he would, he would tell us.

01:49:32.020 Now, when we go to Wichita, it's different.

01:49:33.320 Like, you're going to get personally attacked.

01:49:34.800 Okay?

01:49:35.440 You're literally going to get personally attacked when you go to the plate.

01:49:37.580 And, I mean, these guys, they knew everything about you.

01:49:42.860 They knew your mom's name, your girlfriend's name.

01:49:45.720 They'd call your mom, they said your mom was great in bed last night.

01:49:49.020 They'd talk about how you're fucking, I dated a girl named Brittany at the time.

01:49:52.300 Brittany was at my house last night.

01:49:53.920 And then these little kids.

01:49:55.200 That's like cheese dick shit.

01:49:56.260 No, but, but I'm sitting here thinking.

01:49:57.940 But, Cat, there's a young lesson it taught.

01:49:59.560 Like, don't listen to the noise.

01:50:01.000 Don't bite off on it one fucking bit.

01:50:03.580 And you fucking keep your head down.

01:50:05.100 And block it out.

01:50:05.640 You learn to cancel out the noise.

01:50:08.420 And I literally, like, in life, I always replay that message to me.

01:50:12.220 When somebody says something to me and it fucking aggravates the fuck out of me

01:50:15.380 and I want to tell them to go fuck off, I think of Cal.

01:50:18.440 And I think of, you know what, man?

01:50:19.680 Fuck that guy.

01:50:20.280 He don't know me.

01:50:20.880 He don't know nothing about me.

01:50:21.860 He don't know how to think.

01:50:22.600 You know what was funny, dude?

01:50:23.380 I was thinking about this on the way in.

01:50:25.800 Like, yesterday or the day before.

01:50:27.800 Remember that truck the other day that, like, fucking didn't know where it was?

01:50:30.940 Yeah, like, just was like, this guy came, we came to a three-way stop down here at the

01:50:35.900 front of the office park, right?

01:50:37.680 I'm coming in.

01:50:38.700 He's coming in.

01:50:39.980 And, like, he's, like, three foot back from the stop line.

01:50:42.800 So, I stop on the line.

01:50:44.600 He inches up and stops at the line.

01:50:46.380 Like, he's already stopped, right?

01:50:47.780 Yeah.

01:50:47.940 And then he comes up and stops again.

01:50:49.780 And so, I'm sitting there.

01:50:50.740 And then he, like, gets mad because it's, like, he thinks it's my turn.

01:50:54.240 Motherfucker, you were already stopped.

01:50:55.920 So, he gets mad and starts, like.

01:50:57.900 He triple stamped and double stamped.

01:50:59.660 Yeah, dude.

01:51:00.260 You don't triple stamp and double stamp.

01:51:01.840 What the fuck?

01:51:02.820 So, he's fucking throwing his arms in the air, giving me the finger and shit.

01:51:06.580 And I'm, like, dude, I know for sure that you would not be doing that if we were standing

01:51:12.300 face to face.

01:51:13.220 Oh, no.

01:51:13.240 Not at all.

01:51:13.580 Like, the capacity for adults to behave in this way when they're separated by a pane

01:51:20.820 of fucking glass, much less thousands of miles on the internet, is astounding to me.

01:51:26.000 Because I still consider the fact that I learned growing up, which was this.

01:51:30.760 If you say shit to the wrong person, it's potentially going to cost you an ass beating.

01:51:37.080 Right?

01:51:37.460 And we have a whole fucking country of people that have forgotten that shit.

01:51:40.120 Yeah.

01:51:40.360 And, like, so now we have this verbal abuse and these attacks and all this shit on everybody.

01:51:46.020 And everybody's paralyzed to say what the fuck they think.

01:51:48.980 But who, who, let me challenge you with this.

01:51:51.020 And this could be our closing note.

01:51:52.640 Who's the asshole?

01:51:53.700 Them for saying it or you for listening?

01:51:56.080 Hey, man.

01:51:56.880 Look, dude.

01:51:57.420 I'm saying there's a cultural problem with it.

01:51:59.700 I'm not saying me.

01:52:01.080 I'm saying there's a cultural problem.

01:52:02.680 Who's the asshole?

01:52:03.820 Them for saying it or you for listening to it?

01:52:06.440 I don't think that's a good argument.

01:52:07.920 Because I'm not talking about me.

01:52:09.220 I'm talking about cultural fucking problem.

01:52:11.760 I would have waved at that motherfucker and said, hey.

01:52:14.180 Hey, man.

01:52:15.040 I laughed.

01:52:15.800 He's so pissed off.

01:52:17.000 Hey, man.

01:52:17.320 How you doing?

01:52:18.340 Yeah.

01:52:18.660 Dude, I don't.

01:52:20.140 Blow him a kiss.

01:52:20.980 I asked DJ.

01:52:21.800 I got out of the truck laughing.

01:52:23.300 I'm like, do you see the fuck guy?

01:52:24.600 The internet's no different.

01:52:25.840 Yeah.

01:52:26.400 Like.

01:52:27.060 Bloop.

01:52:27.860 Hey, I see you.

01:52:29.060 Bloop.

01:52:29.620 But you see these 1,300 other comments?

01:52:31.680 Bloop.

01:52:32.460 I don't give a fuck what you think.

01:52:35.120 Wow.

01:52:36.560 It just creates an atmosphere that they're safe.

01:52:38.100 Well, I just think that it'd be better.

01:52:40.340 I think it would be a better.

01:52:41.560 I think we'd have a better country if fucking, you know, people grow the fuck up a little

01:52:45.460 bit.

01:52:46.160 Yeah.

01:52:47.080 That's truth.

01:52:48.360 So I don't know, dude.

01:52:50.120 Look, if you're struggling right now, if you're having a hard time, remember this.

01:52:53.980 It's hard for everybody.

01:52:55.020 Okay.

01:52:55.320 Nobody feels calm.

01:52:56.920 Nobody feels at ease.

01:52:58.260 Nobody feels not frustrated.

01:53:00.880 So if you're feeling frustrated, feeling angry, feeling mad, that's a common theme amongst

01:53:04.600 most people right now.

01:53:06.080 You know, my advice is what I said a few weeks ago on the podcast, what to do in dark times.

01:53:10.940 Also what to do through this process.

01:53:14.180 Don't let the pity of the situation or the dire straits or the frustration or the negativity

01:53:20.920 of the world and the situation at hand keep you from seeing where you're going to move next.

01:53:26.280 Because the next move is likely a very important move for all of us in our own individual ways.

01:53:32.980 Whatever you do right now is going to come back to you.

01:53:35.380 If you're somebody who's sitting on the couch, observing the news, taking it all in, a slave

01:53:41.920 to the Instagram, you know, and freaking the fuck out and watching Netflix in between, you're

01:53:48.020 going to be in a bad position when this open backs up, you know, so pull your head out of

01:53:53.520 the sand, you know, do what you need to do to clear it and focus on where we're going to go

01:53:58.200 from here.

01:53:58.740 That's really all that we can do.

01:54:00.060 It's a realist take.

01:54:01.480 Okay.

01:54:01.880 Realists, which is you guys, do not look at what we wish things were.

01:54:09.520 We look at what things are and then we make decisions based upon that.

01:54:14.300 So do that.

01:54:16.540 Stop being overly concerned.

01:54:18.360 Stop being overly emotional.

01:54:20.400 Be kind to people, not in the way that I talk about being kind in terms of telling the

01:54:24.720 truth, but be kind in the general sense.

01:54:27.980 A lot of people are going through a very difficult time.

01:54:30.580 Try to, you know, be a little nicer.

01:54:34.080 You know, if people are annoying, be a little bit more tolerant.

01:54:38.160 You know, if people are pissing you off, scroll on, you know, and let's keep America and get

01:54:43.460 America and the people united so that we can move forward from this and continue to be a

01:54:47.880 great country.

01:54:48.860 I'm very proud to be an American.

01:54:51.080 I'm just like Sal said earlier in a podcast.

01:54:53.440 I bleed that shit.

01:54:54.880 It means something to me, you know, and I know it means something to a lot of other people

01:54:58.940 too, and you guys who are out there where it means something to you, look, pull your

01:55:04.520 head up, keep your chin up, look where you're going and try to make the best possible decision

01:55:10.440 right now.

01:55:11.000 And then if you can't do anything that you think is going to better you, which you're

01:55:14.360 wrong if you think that.

01:55:15.820 But if you just think that, go into personal development.

01:55:18.280 Start reading.

01:55:19.440 You know, 75 hard is an awesome program to do during this time because you have the time

01:55:23.340 to do it.

01:55:24.000 All right, that's not the point of the program, but if you could do 75 hard right now, you're

01:55:28.500 going to be a fucking boss when you come out of this shit.

01:55:30.900 All right.

01:55:31.200 Another thing, dude, if you're stuck where you start serving people in some way, use

01:55:36.760 your skills, use your finances, use your ability to help and try to, you know, make it easier

01:55:44.120 on other people.

01:55:45.120 We don't need people making this any harder than it is.

01:55:47.580 We need people making it easier.

01:55:49.240 So do what you can, whether you're a doctor or a nurse who's on the front lines of this

01:55:54.780 and you guys are crushing it, or whether you're just a regular person on Instagram, show some

01:55:59.740 support, show some love, show some, some compassion and be kind to people in the, in the, in the

01:56:05.800 actual sense of being kind, you know, being polite and, and we'll work through this.

01:56:11.420 Things are going to get better.

01:56:12.360 That's the truth.

01:56:13.320 And I just want to add before you close, you're not alone.

01:56:15.940 No.

01:56:16.280 You know, you, you dude, and, and I say this confidently and vulnerable in a sense, like,

01:56:21.380 you know, last 10 days, two weeks been a struggle for me personally.

01:56:24.820 And it's one day at a time, guys.

01:56:27.720 It's one, literally one good decision at a time, one day at a time, the struggle that

01:56:32.040 you're going through, that storm will pass.

01:56:34.120 It will.

01:56:34.300 And, and I hope, you know, even though you might agree, disagree with some of the things

01:56:38.840 that were here today, I understand that, you know, or we understand that we're here

01:56:43.820 for you.

01:56:44.360 We're here to help.

01:56:45.040 We're here to get through this and we want America to win.

01:56:48.520 We want you to win.

01:56:49.480 We want our boat to fucking, to sail.

01:56:51.620 And we want to be a part of the solution, not part of the problem.

01:56:54.300 But I want you to understand more than anything, you're not alone.

01:56:56.620 And if you need help, there's a group of people right here that are, that have your back and

01:57:00.940 are ready to fucking, to get out of this shit and move forward.

01:57:03.740 Dude, look, it's hard for everybody.

01:57:07.160 That's it.

01:57:08.020 It's been hard for everybody.

01:57:09.280 It's been, at the very least, no matter what your financial situation or your health situation,

01:57:14.660 it's extremely stressful.

01:57:16.460 It's extremely frustrating.

01:57:17.960 It's extremely, extremely depressing and dark.

01:57:23.640 Dude, look, this stuff is going to pass.

01:57:27.340 And if you're smart, you're going to figure out a way to pivot into something that's going

01:57:32.320 to benefit you in the long run.

01:57:33.600 If you're not able to do that, be a better person.

01:57:37.380 Help your community.

01:57:38.220 Maybe you'll discover that actually service is providing you more happiness than even

01:57:42.740 being an entrepreneur.

01:57:43.520 Who knows?

01:57:45.480 Those two should go hand in hand, but they don't for everybody.

01:57:48.460 All right?

01:57:49.040 So guys, keep your heads up.

01:57:50.500 Keep your chin up.

01:57:51.840 Keep your chest out.

01:57:53.080 And let's go kick some ass.

01:57:54.160 Hey, I told my teacher, dumb bitch.

01:57:56.340 I'm going to get millions.

01:57:57.500 Watch this.

01:57:57.960 End of Project Living.

01:57:59.120 Down.

01:57:59.440 Spoke it till existed.

01:58:00.680 Walla.

01:58:01.140 I'm from where you can't trust.

01:58:02.380 So welcome.
