00:03:22.040 as friends is that i really appreciate and i want to say this to your face is like we don't actually

00:03:26.520 agree on every single right right right we we have healthy debates and we're great friends

00:03:32.020 afterwards yes and it you know it's the way it really should be i was supposed to be yeah and and

00:03:37.420 i think you know for i was thinking about this on the drive-in this morning you know everybody's going

00:03:43.020 to the extremes like the extreme left or the extreme right and if you don't agree with you know

00:03:48.540 one or the other you're the extreme other and the truth is if you don't agree with all of it yeah

00:03:52.540 you're you know if you don't agree with the full left agenda you're an extremist right if you don't 0.63

00:03:57.940 agree with the far right agenda which i don't know i don't even know what the fuck that is yeah uh but 0.96

00:04:02.640 you're a redneck from missouri with a podcast uh but you know the truth of the matter is man most of 0.96

00:04:10.640 the country uh is regular people they're just regular people man they want to they want to i mean i see

00:04:17.340 you out all over dude yeah eric's all over the country talking to people all the time um

00:04:22.480 the one thing that eric and i do have in common is that do we are strong freedom first people and um

00:04:28.180 america first people and you know it's actually there's a really interesting thing i was thinking

00:04:33.300 about on the drive-in one of the reasons for that like so when i when i'm out one of the things that

00:04:38.400 always happens is people come up to me and the question they ask is like how is it that and usually 0.97

00:04:44.780 they say the left how is it that the left is so stupid yeah no and it's a real question they say 0.99

00:04:51.120 how is it that they look at defunding the police they see the thousands of murders that have 1.00

00:04:56.560 increased and they don't know that it's happening how is it that they look at the open border and

00:05:01.260 they see everything that's happening and they ask themselves these questions and part of the reason

00:05:05.760 is that the difference between real people and the people who talk about and engage in politics is that

00:05:12.460 real people do real things they do things with their hands and so here's what happens when you're

00:05:19.600 solving a real problem it has a reality okay if you and i are working on an engine right and you say

00:05:27.080 to me hey man i think it's the spark plugs i can't say dude you're a racist yeah okay i have to say i

00:05:33.220 have to say you know what actually i already checked that i think they're working maybe it's the fuel

00:05:37.000 line whatever but you have to solve a problem that has a reality one of the problems in our society

00:05:42.160 right now is that so many especially on the left so many of the people who are always talking about

00:05:47.760 politics everything exists for them in their heads and it's why you see things coming out of their

00:05:54.280 mouths things that they say that seem complete madness and they're completely detached from reality

00:05:59.420 and it's also why i always found when i whether i was a navy seal doing humanitarian work in government

00:06:06.500 if i was working with people who really cared about a problem you could work together it did not matter

00:06:14.300 what their background was if you disagreed on philosophy or politics or whatever if they were

00:06:20.100 dealing with the reality of the problem in front of you you could say okay cool well let's work on

00:06:24.880 let's figure out what does help homeless veterans what does help kids in school if you ask a real 0.87

00:06:31.040 problem about the reality you can deal with it right now we literally have a political class

00:06:37.580 that is detached from reality dude i was noticing that exact same thing i think you were you and i

00:06:45.020 no i was talking about with mike yesterday at the house um the the sacramento shooting right

00:06:50.700 you you see that i did i didn't there was a there was a mass shooting six people got killed

00:06:55.440 uh a big team injured yeah and sacramento on sunday like saturday night sunday morning big fight 0.94

00:07:01.900 yeah people brought out guns started shooting shit and the next day you know the the msm is on on

00:07:09.560 record you know they're on tv saying gun laws biden's out gun laws gun laws gun laws and that's a perfect 0.93

00:07:15.100 example of this they're not even asking the question would these laws have prevented this from happening

00:07:21.120 and the answer is no right and that's a constant it's it to me it feels like it all dude it like and i

00:07:29.640 don't know what you think about this i don't know if we talked about this or not but i can't remember

00:07:32.820 but like dude it almost feels like they're they're using technology in the media and all of these

00:07:40.280 things to prop these people up to make them seem like they're far more powerful than they really are

00:07:46.860 yes the people on the the left extremist right we're bending over backwards for all these crazy

00:07:52.940 you know moralist viewpoints um that are quite frankly un-american

00:07:59.640 uh you know let's just be real and they're amplifying by the use of technology the actual

00:08:05.640 resistance that regular americans who have common sense face because the truth is dude and you've

00:08:10.620 done this a lot more than me but even when i go like i told you uh how i went to california right

00:08:15.720 uh and i spoke yeah and everybody was with the message right everybody and it was a main and you

00:08:21.340 were there it was mainly latino crowd yeah okay and they were crazy about like the american values and

00:08:27.780 and the pro-freedom pro-freedom talk and like they understand capitalism they understand how crazy 0.96

00:08:33.540 this shit is and bro anywhere i've actually gone in real life the people that show up that are with 0.97

00:08:39.360 this line of thinking are not only in very small numbers but like you can physically look at them and 1.00

00:08:45.020 say dude these people are fucking whack jobs and and what's also clear and this is the really deep 0.97

00:08:50.920 point that so so so many times conservatives and patriots miss what's also clear is how cruel they 0.99

00:08:56.740 are yeah okay because if you really care about people then you care about the results that you're

00:09:02.340 getting for them if you really care about people then you'd ask the question would a change in laws

00:09:07.340 actually help if you really care about people you'd ask yourself does this policy actually work

00:09:11.820 and one of the things that i found you know i and i found this actually early in my life this

00:09:16.280 before i was in the seal teams i was doing humanitarian work overseas so i worked in in

00:09:20.660 bosnian refugee camps i worked in rwandan refugee camps i worked with kids in cambodia who lost limbs

00:09:25.960 to landmines and what you found was that a lot of times the policies that sounded good we're going to

00:09:32.420 create a center for orphaned children we're going to do x we're going to do y didn't actually work

00:09:37.980 i found the same thing when i was working with veterans after i was hit by a suicide truck bomb and i

00:09:43.900 started the mission continues there's all this language around like well we're going to help

00:09:47.980 these guys and we're going to make sure that they get this charitable program we're going to make

00:09:51.680 sure that they get lots of disability pay we're going to make sure that they get the right drugs

00:09:55.360 but if you really care about people you have to again look at the reality do these programs work

00:10:00.880 do they actually work and what you're seeing there and you're pointing out and it's why people feel

00:10:06.540 like the whole discourse in the country is off is that it's clear the people who are talking

00:10:11.880 don't really care if you really love people then you're going to dig in and you're going to figure

00:10:17.620 out what works yeah and and you also realize that like what works here might not work there

00:10:22.580 what work what works for this person might not work for that that person and you really dig in and

00:10:27.940 that's part of why people are so upset with all of politics is that it's clear most of the people

00:10:34.920 most of the elected officials and and this is true in both parties right most of the elected officials

00:10:40.520 and a lot of the people we're talking they don't really care no it's about self-preservation building

00:10:45.540 a career and furthering their establishment benefits or their ability to funnel money into

00:10:51.660 their right their little uh what jordan belfort would call rattle right right right um that's

00:10:57.400 that's what it is and that's you know the message that i've been on forever now is like dude we need

00:11:02.340 some real people yes we need some real people who actually have real experience who have gone real

00:11:07.460 places yes done real things and you've done that yeah um you know most of these people that i see

00:11:13.220 in office right now and i think from my point of view the biggest problem that we have in america

00:11:17.760 is that we have people who have been in for a long time they've established you know they've

00:11:23.040 listen they've established true fascist relationships okay which means they're taking

00:11:29.180 corporate money and and the the government branch and the corporation branch are uniting together

00:11:34.640 to form a certain level of tyranny against the people and that's what's been happening and it's

00:11:40.260 and and we have a bunch of people in our government right now who care way more about themselves we

00:11:46.820 have a president right now who cares way more about himself and his family's wealth than the

00:11:52.480 betterment and and success of the average person in america right yeah that's real that's real well

00:11:58.260 let's get into this because i so so we did you guys see that uh hungary's president got elected

00:12:03.420 oh i didn't yeah he was an anti-soros guy yeah i know soros there was he was driving he was he was

00:12:10.460 driving a lot of the globalists nuts especially in europe and there was this huge attack really

00:12:16.960 global attack against him he won big yesterday cool i did not i did not oh dude he won like it was

00:12:22.500 major landslide yeah yeah everybody's pissed yeah like yeah all our friends right right they're mad

00:12:27.880 right all right all right yeah so we got uh a survey came out right and we're gonna pull up

00:12:33.600 the top pressing issues facing america and how we fix it okay um and so there's 11 topics now we just

00:12:39.960 open conversation talk about them dig into them but i think first we got to do a little honorable

00:12:44.000 mention these are uh topics uh that did not make the list so hold on there's no such thing as honorable

00:12:48.960 mention bro there is first place you'll like this honorable mention that's it certain things that

00:12:53.700 didn't make the list racism did not make the list so these this was a survey of american

00:12:57.540 citizens and what they actually care about what they actually cared about so this honorable mention

00:13:01.860 is things that didn't make it okay so racism you're sure dj i know you get accused of being a racist

00:13:06.240 all the time so i mean i think that i think i should actually buy my angel like dj the most racist guy

00:13:11.700 in the room yeah let's be honest but but but other things if you only knew you know what i'm saying

00:13:19.580 but uh other things i didn't care about the blue or gold dress knock it didn't make it

00:13:23.620 immigration did not make the list surprisingly that's surprising me that's a major issue

00:13:27.540 it's a major issue nancy pelosi didn't make the list uh that's because she's gonna die 0.98

00:13:32.340 will smith smack did not make the list um and then it's collar kaepernick white or black did not make

00:13:37.340 the list so um let's get on with the real list then colin kaepernick has cool hair that's i just

00:13:42.240 leave it at that all right we'll just leave it right there that's real i wish i had that flow

00:13:45.920 that's real all right so we're gonna go ahead and start this list off we're going uh from from

00:13:50.220 uh bottom up essentially so number 11 this is the 11th most concerning topic oppressing uh uh

00:13:57.480 americans taxation okay so this is number 11 okay you guys know the the federal tax rates these are 0.62

00:14:04.120 just some of the rates here and you know you get fucking slammed yeah uh no lube ever how do we fix 0.97

00:14:12.140 it what what where are we at on taxes i think people the the majority consensus that we are 0.89

00:14:16.720 giving tax way too way too much okay uh 2021 it was four trillion dollars in tax uh taxes federal

00:14:22.940 taxes that was uh um taken from the american citizens and uh we're spending about six trillion

00:14:28.080 on average per year what's the uh what's the solution so i think one of the things you have to

00:14:33.660 look at and remember that's very important when you think about this is the massive theft that is

00:14:40.100 happening inside the government the massive theft and specifically a lot of it is legalized theft

00:14:48.660 one of the reasons why i was attacked as governor was because i went and i zeroed out these completely

00:14:54.980 corrupt tax credit programs i'll give you just one missouri example okay in missouri uh they have

00:15:00.840 something called the low-income housing tax credit and they always do this sounds nice a low-income

00:15:06.260 housing tax credit who could be opposed to that well what that means is every year about 150 million

00:15:12.400 dollars of taxpayer money taxes paid by the people of missouri is given away to people in this tax

00:15:19.280 credit program and you go back audit after audit over over the course of a decade showed that only about

00:15:25.640 42 cents of every dollar actually went to anything close to low-income housing so you do the quick

00:15:32.000 math over the last just the last 10 years 1.5 billion dollars 58 750 million dollars that's being

00:15:41.800 stolen and given away to insiders and then to understand how the scheme works because it happens

00:15:48.880 in the same way in the federal government what the low-income housing tax credit guys do they then turn

00:15:54.500 around and take that taxpayer money that 750 million and they give out lots of political donations

00:16:00.540 okay so now they're paying off all of the politicians so what are the politicians do they keep the low

00:16:06.800 income housing tax credit program going and what happens the politicians fat and happy all of the

00:16:13.200 insiders fat and happy and everybody who's listening to this right now who's working you're paying for 0.89

00:16:19.020 and it is a complete scam and that's just that's one yeah that's one small example and it happens

00:16:26.440 again and again and again and at the federal level what happens is these big companies hire lobbyists

00:16:32.780 those lobbyists go in and they write things into an extraordinarily complicated tax code which creates

00:16:40.940 special bonuses incentives giveaways for massive companies that then

00:16:48.560 turn around and take those gains and use them to give donations to politicians so what's happened

00:16:55.100 is the entire system is broken it's not just about what level of taxation and obviously it's too high but

00:17:03.000 the fact is it is such a rigged and unfair system and where you need to get to is to get all of the

00:17:10.360 unfairness out and make it incredibly simple right now the tax code is so massive it's literally

00:17:18.420 that's intentional by the way and that is intentional they intentionally make it complicated they

00:17:24.160 intentionally make it hard for people to comply with and they put all of these special bonuses in

00:17:31.980 there all these special bonuses for their friends and who loses everybody who's listening right now

00:17:37.900 every honest person who's out there and then you combine that with the fact that they spend wildly

00:17:44.860 and recklessly on things that everybody agrees are nonsense right this this 1.2 trillion dollars

00:17:52.540 they just spent on the green new deal they called it an infrastructure bill and you ask anybody who's

00:17:57.700 listening right now like what's it what's infrastructure it's a road it's a bridge it's a port like those

00:18:03.500 things are infrastructure the green new deal that ain't infrastructure but they take your money

00:18:09.260 money and they spend it on things like that and then tax you more while all of their friends get

00:18:15.900 off yeah and those people that that get the money this is a whole nother way they make money here guys

00:18:21.700 yes they own stock in the people's companies that that are getting the money on top of it so their

00:18:26.440 companies they're getting money directly their their friends are getting rich yes and doing better

00:18:31.180 and then they're getting paid again off the stock increase that they own these companies

00:18:35.260 okay and so it's not and i'm i'm explaining this because it's very important that regular people

00:18:41.500 understand that not only are we being taxed too much money but it's being scammed to look as if we're

00:18:51.160 trying to fix problems and we're doing the good thing and we're good people and we care when in reality

00:18:57.120 they have a spending problem we have a collection problem and uh we have a a no interest in

00:19:05.200 the people problem you know the reason this country is so far technologically behind some

00:19:10.720 of these other countries which in case you haven't understood yet we are um is because these people

00:19:17.720 are continuing to steal our money yes and back in you know back in the old days people are throwing

00:19:23.880 tea in the harbor for three percent tax yes you know all said and done in california you know these

00:19:30.320 dudes are paying in the 60 percentile that means they're working for 60 percent of the year for the

00:19:34.760 government you're a government employee bro yeah like you you're not an entrepreneur you're not

00:19:38.260 a business owner you're working for the government monday and tuesday and wednesday and then you get

00:19:44.640 to work for yourself on thursday and friday and then on the weekends and this these systems these

00:19:49.560 systems over time collapse yeah well systems over time collapse there's there's a couple ways to

00:19:55.460 look at it you're throwing money at that issue doesn't solve that issue it's if you take somebody

00:19:59.440 who makes you and we do we we have you know lots of young people who work here and teaching them

00:20:03.920 fiscal responsibility is one of our roles which is why we do a really good very good job of keeping

00:20:08.300 young people because we teach them things that the world does not if you have a spending problem

00:20:13.700 when you make more money you just increase the spending issue you know and so like in this

00:20:18.540 particular environment no amount of money that we continue to throw at that problem is going to fix

00:20:22.600 itself well also bro that when they come at you and they like biden's right now saying hey we're

00:20:28.100 going to tax unrealized gains we're going to tax this we're going to when they raise the tax there is

00:20:33.240 the average person does not understand there is zero intention of that benefit coming to you

00:20:38.760 like there's not it's not like oh we screwed up or this or that it's an inside game that we're all in

00:20:45.520 on and we're saying hey you know what uh 32 percent is not enough i'm going to have you make i'm going

00:20:51.920 to bump you up that 35 right and then i'm just going to take that money myself well i think there's

00:20:56.540 sorry the way to fix that too and going back to eric's point you know where there's mystery there's

00:21:01.220 margin that's that's the whenever the deal is too it's too confusing it's it's hard to figure out

00:21:05.820 there's they're hiding money that's the whole game so there's i mean in the sales process that's the

00:21:10.300 goal when they when a deal comes to you and it's way too fucking complicated they're just trying to 0.89

00:21:14.140 hide money that's the whole is that's the whole print on the commercial no that's it i mean it's

00:21:17.760 it's the whole yin and yang of that situation but in my opinion just from the you know i i love

00:21:23.020 fiscal uh structure and you start looking at it there's really you could make a flat tax on the

00:21:27.580 front end and a consumable tax on the back end and then we've fit it we base it off of that it's

00:21:32.460 hey we all pay this on what we make no matter what it is the more you make the more they actually 1.00

00:21:36.560 get paid and if you want to spend that money on stupid shit well that's your choice because 0.99

00:21:41.560 we're going to increase the tax across the board based off those things now these are things that 1.00

00:21:45.360 people who make fifty thousand dollars a year can't probably could not afford we're going to

00:21:49.060 increase that tax and it's now you have a judgment to make based off what you want to buy it's a

00:21:53.360 consumable tax well and and to go even deeper the big problem in almost all political discourse right

00:22:01.420 is that politicians and insiders talk about how much money they're spending so they'll say

00:22:08.240 we're going to spend two hundred dollars this year or two hundred million dollars this year or

00:22:12.860 one trillion dollars this year in the real world what people are interested in it results what are

00:22:19.880 you getting for the money that you are spending and you look back over the course of american history

00:22:25.360 what did we get for the war on poverty how big of a reduction did we get it didn't work so people

00:22:33.080 ask themselves and they should be asking the question that that the politicians love to talk

00:22:38.900 about is well we're going to spend more on x okay the question that they should be asking is what

00:22:43.300 results did you get for the money you already spent that's the question well unless they spend all of

00:22:49.240 the money they don't get the budget increase right you know what i mean so there's a catch 22 there now

00:22:52.840 they have to go out and frivolously spend it at the end of the year on whatever they can so that

00:22:57.500 they make sure they get their extra 12 percent next year yeah it's like george carlin said man it's a

00:23:01.820 big club and you ain't in it yeah and that's it yeah and like that has to change yes you know for

00:23:06.620 our i argue all the time you and i've talked about this many times it's not our government model that's

00:23:11.240 messed up what it is is it's the people that are in the model correct moral structure yeah and they're

00:23:15.380 all covering for each other they all come out dude i explain here's how i explain it to the average

00:23:20.040 person when you you'll learn this one one day when you have someone sue you or you decide you're

00:23:28.280 going to sue someone um you're going to go to an attorney and you're going to say hey you know 0.97

00:23:34.400 i want to sue this guy and he's going to go okay we'll do that it's awesome we're going to fucking 0.98

00:23:39.620 sue him let's get him and they get you all hyped right and they call up the other guy's attorney and 0.90

00:23:44.680 say hey i got this guy here he's really hungry to sue this guy oh yeah yeah let's how about we go

00:23:51.120 out and let's let's have a round of golf we'll talk about it see what we can do okay and they go

00:23:54.880 they go they go out on the golf course right and they say all right i don't think my guy's gonna

00:24:00.400 quit and uh until he gets what he wants like but i think i'd get him to go for this another guy says

00:24:05.440 well let's we could probably do this but let's you know let's drag it on let's keep it going like and

00:24:11.120 they start acting in their own interests okay and this is what attorneys do and this is why and get

00:24:16.520 guess who's in the legislature they're mostly mostly attorneys yeah so this is common practice for them

00:24:22.180 to do that yeah right and you you have this you have an experience with this and what i you're

00:24:27.600 exactly you're exactly right because what happens is and i i've always talked about this if you want

00:24:31.820 to identify somebody who's going to become a sellout in office it's very very clear you ask yourself is

00:24:38.260 this office they're going to be in the most impressive thing they've ever done in their life

00:24:42.400 and here's why because if they get it then they don't want to lose it okay they're not there to serve

00:24:51.100 other people if somebody comes into office and they've got an incredible background they built a

00:24:55.800 great business they were a fantastic teacher they were a great architect they did something

00:24:59.140 if they come into government because they want to accomplish something that's very different than

00:25:04.900 someone who wants to be a government official right and so then they get in and then what happens

00:25:10.780 is all and you see it it's disgusting all of the lobbyists descend on them the minute that they get

00:25:15.600 elected and they start working them and they tell well we can get you money for your

00:25:19.420 re-election here we can do this well don't say that because that's going to get you in trouble

00:25:23.240 etc etc and what they do is the people who who don't want to lose the office are the ones who

00:25:29.740 become sellouts which is why you need to have back in that those days you think about george

00:25:35.640 washington you think about thomas jefferson you think about alexander hamilton you think about

00:25:39.720 benjamin franklin you think about all you think about sam adams you think about all of these people who

00:25:44.360 were part of the revolution they were incredibly capable people who had achieved things outside

00:25:50.640 of government so when they said we're going to put our lives our fortunes and our sacred honor on the

00:25:58.420 line they were putting something on the line today you have all of these people who are running for

00:26:03.580 office or who are in office and this is the most important thing they've ever done they're part of

00:26:07.860 that club and that's why that's why they're there and that's why they don't they don't take any risk to

00:26:11.960 change things true or not true if we eliminated lobbying we'd eliminate at least 80 percent of the

00:26:16.740 problems yeah it's a huge piece it's a huge no tax issue in that regard we wouldn't have the

00:26:22.420 corruption and at scale they're a huge part of the corruption and one of the ways you could do it and

00:26:28.580 this is one of the things so so one of the reasons why i was always hated by the lobbyists was it the

00:26:33.140 first day i was governor the first day i signed an executive order that said anyone who worked for me

00:26:39.560 could never turn around and lobby me okay because this is how the whole government structure works

00:26:45.840 you've got guys who are in senate offices or who are senators in congressional offices who are

00:26:51.440 congressmen and what do they do they work for a while on the elected side and then they know

00:26:55.580 they're going to leave and go get paid by the lobbyists so who do you think they're serving when

00:27:02.160 they're in office and it's a very simple rule which is that if you've been in office you cannot

00:27:08.380 become a lobbyist and the rule i proposed was that you cannot be a lobbyist for as many years as you

00:27:15.540 served okay you serve for one year then cool you can't become a lobbyist for a year but if you've been

00:27:20.720 a career politician you've served for 20 years then you can't become a lobbyist for 20 years if you've

00:27:25.920 worked in congress for five years you can't become a lobbyist for five years and when i said this

00:27:30.600 and when i also said we're gonna ban all lobbyist gifts they went crazy absolute crazy so what you

00:27:37.140 do yeah look and we did when i was gonna we banned all lobbyist gifts to the executive branch

00:27:42.880 and the minute i was gone you know what they said well we'll take lobbyists they do this is it's it's

00:27:49.040 it's difficult for people to understand and it's difficult to over overstate how incredibly corrupt

00:27:56.660 the whole system is how corrupt and how cowardly tremendous corruption tremendous cowardice and

00:28:04.480 you're exactly right sal if you said you cannot leave to become a lobbyist well then that ends

00:28:09.660 their that ends their gravy train the whole run right all right that was only 11 we got

00:28:15.740 we got a lot we got a lot we chose 11 you should have said five my vote my vote is 15 tax make

00:28:21.940 everybody pay the tax i don't care if you make one dollar or if you make a trillion dollars i'm with

00:28:26.640 that no expenses i dude i just think that's how it should be that's my vote i'm worth it yeah i'd vote

00:28:31.700 for that yeah well the truth of the matter of that situation without getting to point 10 is we would

00:28:36.780 probably generate more revenue no we would not only that do you know how much more successful

00:28:41.100 businesses would be the whole idea of how they tax businesses is well it's based on this

00:28:46.540 business owners are greedy and they take all the money themselves so we got to take it from them 0.97

00:28:51.360 that's their fucking thing when in reality if you okay i agree some business owners are greedy they 0.99

00:28:59.260 want more money and they know how to get more money you know how you get more money by hiring more 0.99

00:29:03.080 people and growing your company and guess what that does that creates jobs it creates communities 0.97

00:29:08.000 it contributes to all kinds of good shit and they're they're a business person's greed is 0.82

00:29:15.000 actually a good thing in most cases because it requires them to serve other people to get where 0.98

00:29:20.000 they want to go exactly and but what they do what they don't do uh look man is what it comes down do

00:29:27.640 you trust politicians to do the right thing or do you trust business owners to create jobs in their

00:29:31.140 own interests and and have people i mean right what would you rather have yeah i mean now my brain's 0.88

00:29:35.800 spending that we could we could fiscally fix the whole goddamn thing in about 40 90 minutes here 0.78

00:29:39.140 bro look at student loan debt like if you just said pass it on to a company and said hey listen 0.92

00:29:43.320 you can hire it you have to relieve their debt by getting a tax incentive to do it we could relieve

00:29:48.020 the employee's debt after x amount of years we'll pay for it the government would get their money back

00:29:52.100 the employer would get the tax incentive the uh the student would get relieved of the debt and

00:29:56.620 everybody fucking wins they would never touch that don't you think that the the amount 0.92

00:30:00.040 like don't you isn't it weird that they they give unlimited amounts of student loans to 18 year old 0.96

00:30:05.060 kids yeah and don't you think it's weird that um why wouldn't they make the amount of student loan

00:30:11.020 relative to the actual pay scale of the degree if you if you really wanted to change things yeah i

00:30:16.540 wanted to throw it in radically now let's keep in mind for student loan debt it's the only debt you

00:30:21.920 can never get rid of yeah and it shackles young people that's what they want to do yes yeah they are 0.98

00:30:27.500 shackled you get kids who are graduating with degrees in recreation management who have a who

00:30:34.320 have eighty thousand dollars in school debt so here's the way you turn this around if the university

00:30:39.220 truly believes that they're adding value to the student if they're saying we're taking you at 18

00:30:44.840 and we're going to make you this much more valuable by the time you're 22 then you know what

00:30:49.500 the way that we will take our pay is that we'll take x percent of your income for the first five years

00:30:57.120 after you graduate because we've made you into an incredible engineer we've made you into a

00:31:02.000 fantastic chemist we've done we've done this thing but instead again you have this collusion of powerful

00:31:09.240 interests including the higher ed lobby everyone who's in government and who loses regular people

00:31:16.740 right here in the state of missouri also okay you think about um a vocational education we've got

00:31:23.440 places here where kids can go and they can spend five thousand dollars a year right for a couple of

00:31:31.500 years they can graduate with a fantastic vocational degree they can go out and immediately they're

00:31:39.920 making more money and 10 years later they're making more money than kids who are graduating from

00:31:45.320 four-year universities you know what's great about that too bro is that for the last 20 so years

00:31:50.920 you know they've kind of uh you know like society has been like oh technology technology technology

00:31:56.760 dude you're still going to need people to do construction you're still going to need people

00:32:01.400 to weld you're still going to need people to do everything with your hands everything that has to

00:32:06.580 be done here with your hands think about this all that pay that pay scale is going to go way up

00:32:12.920 because there's so few people pursuing that now that the people who have those skills are making way

00:32:18.060 more money we talk about this all the time yeah like dude if i was a young man right now and i wasn't

00:32:23.280 sure what i was going to do i would at least use the time to go get a skill like that yes while i'm

00:32:29.920 trying to figure it out because you're guaranteed some sort of income for the rest of your life you can

00:32:35.140 also be your own boss yeah you own yourself and this is again very big picture if you think about the

00:32:41.240 american republic one of the reasons why we were and have been a free country was because we always

00:32:48.080 had a middle class of people farmers and artisans who were their own boss okay if we have a nation of

00:32:56.840 people who are their own boss that is the ingredients for having a free country and it's freedom you know

00:33:06.040 what i mean because it's driven in principle yes all right here we go point number 10 10 here's the

00:33:11.180 other yeah bro we can spend another 90 minutes on this pick the best ones all right make up we did

00:33:16.720 like i trust you taxes are fine i'm just saying we got some good ones guys there was a lot of 0.63

00:33:21.380 fucking issues 10 is andy's favorite marijuana i don't know if it's my favorite but it's it's not my 0.88

00:33:30.040 least favorite so marijuana marijuana is a big one right marijuana is a big one right now uh as of 0.97

00:33:37.480 april 2022 we have 37 states that have legalized the medicinal use of uh cannabis um and right now

00:33:44.460 there's roughly about 18 states that have uh legalized the recreational use of marijuana um but

00:33:50.280 it's still a big fight on the federal level um the bill just passed in the um in the house of

00:33:56.000 representatives moving to the senate to probably be thrown down um but what's the take on

00:33:59.880 marijuana yeah i mean there's you know i actually haven't been thinking about marijuana a lot

00:34:05.800 recently i mean i've been thinking about afghanistan and the border and other stuff i will tell you this

00:34:10.760 though here's here's one thing that you have to be very thoughtful about is that and it doesn't get

00:34:15.680 enough attention is that marijuana clearly also has lots of negative effects for young people until

00:34:23.540 the prefrontal cortex is fully developed and that is that is and that's 100 percent 100 percent clear yes

00:34:29.300 what this is especially so so in in uh young men and young women especially for for young men the

00:34:35.940 age is about 25 until your prefrontal cortex is fully developed right and there's there is as you

00:34:40.640 said lots of evidence to suggest that marijuana use has a very negative and permanent um influence

00:34:48.220 that's fact on that and that's dr amon talks about that all the time and so we have to we have to we

00:34:52.580 have to recognize no again if you care about people we got to deal with the facts of what's of

00:34:57.540 what's happening and one of the things that you also have to be thoughtful about is that anytime you

00:35:03.420 get big corporations involved in in anything okay they will also push things to to uh to profit from

00:35:14.400 people even if it's not healthy for them yes right so so so right so so you find places now where

00:35:20.180 they're selling marijuana ring pops okay who's who's using marijuana joe joe joe joe camel back in

00:35:27.660 the day right cigarettes right right and so they're marketing to their future audience yes and i think

00:35:33.180 it's very very important that we be very cognizant of the damage that can be done to people um and

00:35:42.400 we also have to have a rational system if this is going to be legal then it can't be a cash business

00:35:49.840 where all of these dudes can't like put money in the bank it doesn't make it doesn't make sense uh for

00:35:55.580 i think the big i think the biggest the biggest issue i see with with the marijuana use is that

00:36:00.680 the last 40 years um a lot of people have been uh criminalized uh done massive amounts of jail time

00:36:08.160 for weed use bro people are doing more jail time for weed use than they are for violent yeah and so

00:36:13.400 so that we're if we're gonna do that we gotta we gotta we gotta somehow take care of those people

00:36:18.720 these people that have been stained or you know permanently especially when you have now a

00:36:25.440 situation where you have george soros funded prosecutors around the country who won't prosecute

00:36:30.880 murderers they won't prosecute people involved in arson they won't prosecute people who are involved

00:36:35.800 in assaults it is massively unjust police officers yeah and very big picture i mean what this points

00:36:41.380 to also if you if you take a step back and you think about historically where we're at one of the

00:36:45.760 real threats to the united states of america right now is that people don't trust in the justice system

00:36:51.460 okay now any justice system is built by human beings which means that any justice system is imperfect

00:36:57.000 and we've had lots of you know uh uh terrible things happen plussy versus ferguson which said that

00:37:03.980 people were unequal happened right here in the state of missouri okay right that's happened

00:37:07.880 historically we have to recognize that but there had always been in the united states a sense that

00:37:13.360 we were moving towards justice what's happened now is that justice has been blatantly politicized

00:37:20.320 blatantly politicized so that certain people with certain political beliefs are very clearly targeted

00:37:26.160 and that is dangerous people forget that one of the reasons why the roman republic fell

00:37:31.480 was because they had had a corrupted justice system and julius caesar was basically given a choice

00:37:37.460 by a corrupt senate he could come back and he could face a corrupt prosecution or he could bring his

00:37:44.320 armies and you know what he decided he was going to bring his armies and that was the end of the roman 0.98

00:37:49.240 republic when the the very basis of the united states of america is that people are going to be treated

00:37:55.220 equally before the law and now because of what's happened with soros funded prosecutors because of

00:38:01.560 political prosecutions because of things like this it seemed completely unjust that trust in that idea

00:38:08.260 has been rapidly deteriorating and this is what also is really scary when people don't believe that the law

00:38:15.900 is fair when they don't believe that the law can protect them they will find other ways to protect

00:38:22.540 themselves oh yeah that's real yeah for sure um i agree with you on the marijuana thing you know

00:38:28.580 that's a difficult road to cross uh coming from someone who is in the cannabis business and who

00:38:34.500 enjoys marijuana and in fact um sal can attest to this uh i am a lot better human without alcohol

00:38:42.960 and with marijuana and and i have a personal belief that the reason that alcohol has been allowed and

00:38:50.260 pushed and and put into our culture for the last however many years uh the way that it's society

00:38:56.940 is sort of built around the consumption of alcohol and um you know i i after i see all the corruption

00:39:04.100 that's going on i had to ask like myself you know why why do they push alcohol why do they allow alcohol

00:39:10.100 why do they why do they build culture around alcohol and then not legalize this over here when it's

00:39:17.820 actually something that comes from the earth it's natural it definitely does not cause the same

00:39:23.540 issues that alcohol does but then it also does affect younger people much differently yeah you know

00:39:29.380 for me for all you young guys listening i did not smoke weed during those years of my life okay um

00:39:35.260 occasionally you know experimenting high school stuff but you know now i'm a much more regular 0.93

00:39:41.300 marijuana user and i waited until i was older and when i was established and i've gotten my shit 0.88

00:39:48.080 together so to speak because at the time i'm competing and trying to make sure i get to a

00:39:54.060 certain place in life you know when they're making ring pop edibles that's not that's not a morally good

00:40:00.000 thing man you know i i see that as no different than when we were growing up you know the cartoons

00:40:05.740 they used to have around cigarettes remember that yeah yeah yeah yeah there was and there was this

00:40:11.820 this this push and i think that we what we have to do with all of these things is just be

00:40:17.820 to recognize that any policy right is going to have benefits and drawbacks and you have to be

00:40:24.260 very clear and very honest especially when it when it can potentially hurt kids yeah and so let's let's

00:40:29.960 if we're going to do this then let's build a system that's going to minimize the harm that's going

00:40:34.560 to be done for sure for sure well i will do my best to speak to you uh number nine is just health

00:40:39.820 care but um yeah we want to number eight everybody can we can we just say on the health care thing

00:40:44.800 though because i think this is incredibly important there are two things on this one is that we do not

00:40:50.140 have a health care system in america we have a disease profit system okay and it's very important

00:40:56.400 for people to understand this and again no one who's running for office is willing to say things

00:41:01.120 like this why because there's a huge health care industry that dumps tens of millions of dollars

00:41:06.160 into campaigns and keeps it there and profits from it and you ask yourself does the hospital does the

00:41:13.320 disease profit system make money off of you if you are completely healthy during a year the answer is

00:41:19.520 no do they make money off of you when you are sick the answer is yes now again this is not to we have

00:41:27.040 incredible doctors and nurses and all these folks who who are there to help people and to make them

00:41:33.000 healthier and they do but the system as it exists in the united states of america with the collusion

00:41:39.520 between government and the health care industries their interest is in their profit not in your health

00:41:45.820 and the reason why you know that's the case is that you ask yourself there are some very basic things

00:41:51.520 that we know about human health that simply aren't addressed things like fasting right things like

00:41:57.560 how people breathe how people walk exercise the quality of the food that they eat all of these

00:42:04.620 things are essential to addressing the chronic conditions which affect tens of millions of americans

00:42:10.300 and they're not part of the health care conversation because it's not a health care conversation

00:42:15.580 it's a discussion that's really driven by the disease profit system in america and anyway you can see

00:42:21.260 when i talk about things like this why i'm so unpopular with all of the lobbyists because because

00:42:26.300 what we have what we have to expose we have to again if you really care about people you have to say

00:42:31.480 like what's really at stake and finally one of the things that's also really important to recognize here

00:42:37.020 is that we are and have increasingly become a very unhealthy country so you ask yourself you look at

00:42:45.080 everything that's happening right now in the world well you know i think it was schopenhauer said like

00:42:50.580 90 percent of health 90 percent of happiness is health when people are healthy they are happier

00:42:57.720 and you look around the united states of america right now and what do you see lots and lots and

00:43:02.860 lots of incredibly unhappy people a lot of that has to do with the fact that we aren't healthy imagine

00:43:10.300 this do a thought experiment imagine if every man in america every man in america right now from

00:43:18.420 age and every man from age 15 to 62 could put on a 25 pound pack and do a 10 mile 10 mile rock

00:43:26.840 okay there's a super super basic soldiering skill super basic you know testament to health can you put

00:43:32.860 on 25 pounds and walk 10 miles okay imagine just think about the different kind of country you'd have

00:43:39.140 if every man in america was that healthy yeah okay think about the sense of vitality think about the

00:43:46.040 sense of energy think about how people would talk about health work self-worth these people would

00:43:50.600 have yes i'm capable i can do things i can change and let me and so and let's also look again government

00:43:56.540 policy okay you look back at the at the 1970s all right and and i don't want to go super we could go

00:44:03.000 crazy deep on this right the green revolution etc where they started to use all these fertilizers and

00:44:08.380 chemicals in food etc but my point is what the what the disease profit industry would have you believe

00:44:16.680 was that in the 1970s suddenly there was a massive collapse in the will of americans that the reason

00:44:24.620 why people are fat and the reason why people are out of shape and the reason why there's all of these

00:44:28.360 chronic conditions is just because people make bad decisions okay or you can say actually you look back

00:44:35.620 at what happened in agriculture when the government the government pushed the food pyramid yep the

00:44:41.420 government pushed the food pyramid which said hey stop eating all of that meat stop eating all of that

00:44:46.880 protein what we want you to do is eat all of these grains etc there's dairy yes and you look back at

00:44:52.720 the explosion and chronic conditions a lot of it was tied to government policy which again in a lot of

00:44:58.980 that government policy was tied to industry policy and uh you know take a look back at pictures of

00:45:06.120 people on a beach in 1970 in the united states of america and then you ask yourself okay is the difference

00:45:12.260 between 1970 and 2020 was a difference over the course of those 50 years was suddenly that the american

00:45:18.440 character changed and suddenly like everybody got incredibly lazy or did it actually have to do with

00:45:24.280 something it was fundamental to the food that we were eating and that and the system that the health

00:45:30.860 care slash disease profit system that we're a part of yeah and that was super obvious during covid too

00:45:36.540 you want real life right to remember um remember how much they talked about uh you know 80 80 what was

00:45:44.480 it 85 percent of covid deaths were obese and they did not say one thing about eating healthy they didn't say

00:45:52.300 one thing about exercise they shut down gyms dude they shut down not only do they do that they if you said

00:46:00.120 on social media hey if and this is statistically fucking true if you are not obese your rate of dying from 0.97

00:46:09.460 covid goes way down and you actually said the data on instagram they will take the shit off of instagram 0.98

00:46:14.940 they were forcing people to stay inside and not go to the gym okay you need vitamin d you get outside

00:46:23.660 you exercise all of those things make for a much healthier society and much healthier people

00:46:29.460 i mean i think you could look at any of these topics we're going to talk about and if you follow the

00:46:33.380 money train on where it goes you're probably going to find the the problem of which it exists

00:46:37.160 where the lobbying sits you know we we live in the health and wellness industry yeah it's what we do 0.97

00:46:42.520 every day well yeah and how hard do they make it to get people healthy well they make it fucking hard 0.81

00:46:47.380 there's no profit in the education yeah of of wellness see that's the that's taking the paying

00:46:51.820 customers that's right well they don't understand like there's you know there's no profit in the

00:46:55.380 education so again where there's mysteries margin they don't know then they don't know what they

00:46:59.160 don't know so they don't there's no accountability right and that's the biggest thing is you know when

00:47:03.500 you talk about you know we've changed hundreds of thousands of people's lives at this point

00:47:06.720 you know what what happens well they lose weight gain their life back get off their medications

00:47:13.160 they're able to go you know what i mean like their lives increasingly come better they're not as yeah

00:47:16.860 you know what they did you know what they did that you know what they do to counteract that they

00:47:20.280 create a pro-fat movement they create they listen this is a two-prong approach yeah they're messing

00:47:26.240 with the food but look at what they put on tv look at the messages they send out look at that look

00:47:30.920 at this now they're trying to shame people for being fit okay oh you're just fat phobic yeah oh 0.98

00:47:36.640 fat yeah you're fucking right i am i don't want to be almost 350 fucking pounds uh i am definitely 0.98

00:47:42.320 fat phobic yeah and if you don't like it then i don't fucking care like it is what it is but the 0.99

00:47:47.800 point is is that they put this shit down through you know dude it's a it's a constant attack on 0.99

00:47:55.220 regular people yes and again what it comes back to fundamentally what it comes back to 0.99

00:48:00.580 fundamentally is cruelty on their part yeah lack of compassion they don't look at us bro like we're

00:48:06.220 people right if you love someone if you love someone then you know what you want them to be

00:48:11.700 healthier if you love somebody you want them to be happier yeah right and they don't care that left

00:48:17.500 has figured out that people really care about what you just said because people do care about people

00:48:21.760 and these people on the left a lot of them are just really good people that haven't dug into what's

00:48:26.800 actually going on they actually have a lot of empathy for other people and they ride their

00:48:31.280 moral high horse on that empathy i was born and raised and i was a democrat for a very simple

00:48:36.380 reason when i was born and raised because i was told when i was young that democrats are the ones who

00:48:40.660 care about people i know well i care about people i'm a democrat now all of that i was so because i was

00:48:46.120 black i was doing that same thing i got you yeah but look but and then and then you wake up and you

00:48:52.780 realize and again for me it was doing the humanitarian work it was seeing what the va was doing to my

00:48:56.880 fellow veterans who'd been disabled it was running a business all of these things made me not initially

00:49:02.280 necessarily i wasn't political not necessarily more conservative but it woke me up that wait a second

00:49:07.200 they're saying one thing but when you actually look at the facts they don't really care

00:49:12.480 well i think you you hit that point in the head you know it's like with the affordable care act

00:49:16.720 right was that what this was called yeah the same thing as black lives matter like you get down with

00:49:20.240 the affordable well hell yeah i mean i want those you know i want to help somebody obamacare they make

00:49:24.880 it sound good that's right they make it sound good but then the housing tax credits etc but then you

00:49:31.960 actually look at and you ask yourself is this really helping people and then what they do and then what

00:49:37.680 they do guys is when you figure out what they're doing they play like they're just made a mistake

00:49:42.980 where they switch or they call you racist or they switch to another subject or they switch to another

00:49:48.440 subject yeah yeah yeah it's not and and i i want you to really think about this how evil do you have to be

00:49:57.380 to intentionally make people unhealthy sick and dependent on your system for your own profit and grief

00:50:05.840 how evil does that have to be like really think about that really think about and then not only

00:50:11.520 to do that but to claim that you're actually the good guy for supporting it that's what we're dealing

00:50:18.700 with here we're dealing with lots and it's not it's not left and right it's establishment versus

00:50:23.500 non-establishment when i i also think that you have to we have to recognize the nature of the fight

00:50:29.320 that we're in yeah okay i didn't use the word evil related to politics even six years ago

00:50:34.800 okay but i i think i'm incredibly rational person and i look at what people are doing i've been down

00:50:42.080 to the border and if we want to we can talk about what's happening the worst human trafficking operation

00:50:47.160 in the world right now aided and abetted by joe biden and the mexican drug gangs and cartels 0.93

00:50:52.200 the impact on violence the impact on the economy all of these things and we could talk in detail about

00:50:57.620 that but you look at the open border you look at the thousands of murders that have happened

00:51:01.700 historic rise in murders because of the defund the police movement you look at the covid tyranny

00:51:06.740 taking kids who are disabled and keeping them out of school for a year you look at all of these things 1.00

00:51:12.700 and you have to recognize this is cruelty and it's not because they have a difference in political

00:51:18.600 philosophy the left is actively trying to destroy the country they're systematically dismantling

00:51:24.980 and i'll i'll tell you one just one one super quick story just to just to dude you know what

00:51:30.000 drive this home yeah people call me a conspiracy through this all fucking day long because i say 0.96

00:51:34.580 that all the time this is intentional it's intense it is the only rational conclusion that you can come 0.84

00:51:39.980 to and i'll give you i'll give you one super quick demonstration of this all right so i think you

00:51:45.580 know this story i would when i was governor we defeated black lives matter in antifa when they came to 0.74

00:51:50.640 missouri people remember before i was governor missouri was the home of the anti-police movement

00:51:55.620 ferguson happened here that's where this all started so when i was governor we had an incident

00:52:00.660 in the state of missouri where a white man had killed a black man on duty and we had black lives

00:52:05.280 matter and antifa came to missouri and they said we're going to burn this place down they said we're

00:52:09.760 going to make it worse than it even was during during ferguson now long story short we defeated them

00:52:16.280 we defeated them with compassion we defeated them with clarity we defeated them with courage

00:52:20.600 and very briefly you know i said look as a navy seal i fought for everybody's constitutional rights

00:52:25.560 i said everyone has the right to freedom of speech everyone has the right to protest i said no matter

00:52:30.980 what happens when the verdict comes down people are going to be upset and i said if you were out

00:52:35.420 peacefully protesting you will find that the police are there to protect you but i also said throwing a

00:52:40.060 brick through a window is not free speech that's right you assault a law enforcement officer you're

00:52:44.020 going to go to jail and i said in the past in ferguson you had you had people who said that

00:52:48.700 they wanted to give people a safe space to loot and to burn i said if you loot and you burn when

00:52:53.080 i'm governor you're going to jail that's it all right super clear we had we we had the backs of

00:52:58.500 our police officers we supported them we brought everybody together we had a strategic operational and

00:53:04.380 tactical plan for how we're going to communicate how we're going to execute how we're going to do this

00:53:07.960 long story short after three days we defeated blm and antifa and they left they left after having

00:53:15.480 broken a few windows and overturned some potted plants so come back to missouri and the difference

00:53:20.580 between the common sense and courage of normal people and the evil that we see in the world i told

00:53:25.620 this story i was on tucker carlson's show this was in the summer of 2020 after the show i come out and

00:53:31.240 i'm sitting at lindalyn grand which is in st louis missouri for people who know it it's one of the four

00:53:36.580 nicest corners in the city you got the powell symphony hall you got the fox theater st louis

00:53:41.480 university it's all right there i'm sitting with my buddy and we hear 15 to 25 automatic gunshots

00:53:47.140 go off okay sounds just like iraq afghanistan i carry a pistol i've got a med kit in my car

00:53:52.960 my buddy is a special operations firefighter medic he's a much better medic than me right we jump in

00:53:58.980 the car in my car together we drive about 50 yards up to the scene we're the first two guys there

00:54:04.700 at the scene there are two young men who had been shot multiple times and we start working on both

00:54:10.520 of them and unfortunately both of those young men died that night and these were good kids 19 20

00:54:17.560 years old not a parking ticket between these two these two kids both of them died and i went to see

00:54:24.700 their families because their families obviously wanted to know what their brothers what their

00:54:28.760 son's last words were like yeah so i'm talking with them and the bagsby family uh for example

00:54:35.160 there's a young kid jason bagsby who's the brother of one of the kids who was shot and killed and you

00:54:40.380 know what he decides he decides you know what man i don't want this to happen to anybody else

00:54:44.940 and so he decides that he's going to become a st louis police officer so he goes to the training

00:54:50.600 commanded uh training command and as we're sitting here he is out protecting the people of st louis as a

00:54:57.400 police officer that's the common sense and courage of good people but here's the evil the police worked

00:55:02.980 on that case they worked on it for a year and what did they find eventually they found the car that was

00:55:07.340 used in the killing they found the fingerprints of the killer in the car then they found the killer

00:55:12.740 he gave a videotaped confession to every element of the crime and all of the elements of his confession

00:55:19.380 matched all the videotaped evidence from the scene they then took all of this information the car

00:55:25.900 the fingerprints the confession the video evidence they take it all to the george soros funded

00:55:30.140 prosecutor in the city of st louis and you know what she says not going to prosecute now that my

00:55:36.700 rational conclusion is like that is not a difference in political philosophy no that is evil when you

00:55:42.100 decide that you're going to turn a murderer loose onto the streets who's going to do the same thing

00:55:46.460 again that is evil so what does that mean we have to be clear about the nature of the enemy that we're

00:55:51.560 facing and we have to be clear about the threat which also means that we have to be clear in ourselves

00:55:56.560 about what the tools are that are going to get us out of this and it's going to take a tremendous

00:56:01.520 amount of courage and a tremendous amount of people all over the country stepping forward if we're going

00:56:06.760 to take our country back because that is with the people who we are facing are actively trying many

00:56:12.300 of them to destroy the country it's you know it's pretty obvious yeah i mean at this point in time

00:56:21.920 if you're still hanging on to these people are just like not very smart you might be running along with

00:56:27.760 them people what i've been saying to people last thing i'll say on this is like if you're on the

00:56:32.800 sidelines you're on the wrong side yeah okay it's time if you're listening to this and you're not

00:56:38.180 involved you're not engaged you don't have to be in part of my campaign but figure out get involved

00:56:42.660 in your school board do what is right for you to do but get out raise your voice and say i'm going

00:56:48.980 to be part of this because you know people say this a lot but i've seen it i saw it in bosnia i've seen

00:56:54.540 it in rwanda we're seeing it now in the united states of america the only thing that it takes for evil

00:56:59.200 to succeed is good people to do nothing and so there are far more of us are far more courageous people

00:57:06.400 than there are these leftist bullies but we have to everybody who's listening right now this is your

00:57:11.560 mission it's not just mine and andy's and dj's this is your mission this is your country and you have to

00:57:18.400 find a way to step up and one of the things i always said to the wounded and disabled veterans who i worked

00:57:24.200 with when i came back from iraq was i said you'll know your real mission when it scares you okay and and

00:57:31.920 when you look at the country right now people are afraid they're afraid to put something pro police on

00:57:36.220 their social media bro people are afraid right now honestly to fly the flag and run their house 0.95

00:57:41.500 exactly that is bullshit and so we have to you have to you have to be courageous and your mission 0.92

00:57:47.580 your mission as an american your mission as a patriot your mission as someone who loves freedom 0.97

00:57:52.800 is to find in this moment whatever your personal gifts are whatever your personal abilities are

00:57:58.940 figure out how to use them to help us to take the country back let's talk about that for one second

00:58:04.240 okay because they're it the left is very organized okay and as you know you and i discuss this all the

00:58:10.740 time the the the moderate and the right is not okay not as organized and it's worse than that not

00:58:17.840 only is are we not organized the corruption and the cowardice infiltrate within the rhinos of the

00:58:23.360 republican party consistently undermines true patriots yeah i was right and what by like when you say

00:58:30.140 organized what do you mean by that like well i mean in the sense of like what look man uh i think it's

00:58:35.160 pretty clear that a small minority of people is is creating most of the disruption in the country

00:58:39.900 right now yeah most people that i've talked to are their answer is i want to do something but i don't

00:58:47.500 know what to do or or they won't let me say it they say that a lot and that's just a courage thing

00:58:53.820 that's that's an illusion that they use technology to create so that it's political correct correctness

00:59:00.060 basically expanded upon where they put this this idea into the society where people become afraid to

00:59:07.120 speak so they silence themselves right and that's what we're dealing with here so we're do you know

00:59:12.320 i get asked all the time as you know like you know and i really do get asked all the time okay like

00:59:17.260 i'm not saying that i like salad's dms yeah that's right it's not like salad doing his instagram story

00:59:22.640 hey guys i got a bunch of questions today on on how awesome on how awesome i am so i'd like to answer

00:59:27.720 those questions well you'd be surprised how often i get that question yeah so but the the point of what

00:59:32.780 i'm trying to get to on this um is that how do the average people who who want to be a part or or

00:59:42.720 let's just say they want to vote for the right person right because it is very confusing if you're

00:59:48.940 looking at it at surface level if you buy into the idea that there's left and right it's it the system

00:59:55.000 will never correct itself you have to look at the individual candidates what who they are where they

01:00:01.360 come from and like you said what is their purpose for going into government is it because they that's a

01:00:08.600 career for them or is it because they're trying to contribute and serve what would you give advice

01:00:13.400 to like because dude we have people all over the country listening right now um that want dude they're

01:00:18.980 good people they want to help they want to do more but they're just not sure exactly what to do yeah

01:00:23.600 the the short answer is yes it's just take action yeah okay and that can take a whole bunch of

01:00:30.480 different forms it can be sharing your podcast with people right saying hey this is where i'm getting

01:00:36.320 my information and also i found this great news site i'm reading just the news i go out to revolver

01:00:42.900 news i go out to you know this other site and start sharing information because people are consistently

01:00:48.540 every single day being lied to by the mainstream media i'll give you just one quick example on this

01:00:53.600 the freedom convoy came through missouri okay i went out we had a rally with the freedom convoy and

01:00:59.240 then i was on i jumped in my personal truck and led them for 40 miles through missouri and then we had

01:01:04.700 another rally i had a friend who was standing in the crowd while i was on stage speaking to hundreds

01:01:13.240 of people and they googled what's happening with the freedom rally and the first seven stories of the

01:01:20.940 freedom convoy and the first seven stories said that it was shutting down nobody was showing up etc

01:01:25.820 they're literally lies oh yeah so one thing that you can do is is figure out how to like not just

01:01:32.320 consume the truth but also spread the truth take and it takes some courage and you can do it on email

01:01:38.060 you can do it with friends you can do it with others but start spreading the truth and then also

01:01:43.100 find a way to get involved and not just involved in politics okay because this is what the politicians

01:01:49.400 would have you believe the politicians would have you believe that this is going to get solved by

01:01:53.800 people voting just for the right people this is a cultural movement that's right we have to win

01:01:59.920 culturally and that means people need to stand up on behalf of freedom it means that people need

01:02:06.620 to stand up and and of course at their school board of course at the local city and county level

01:02:12.100 but beyond politics people have to be willing to stand up for what they believe in and here's the

01:02:18.320 thing again we are the patriots are people who believe in freedom are the vast majority of the country

01:02:24.240 that's right but bullies work by intimidating people and it's how every totalitarian regime works

01:02:30.740 they come in and you look at Pol Pot in Cambodia Mao in China Stalin in Russia what do they do

01:02:36.420 somebody raises their voice and they come in and they literally grab them out of a classroom

01:02:42.180 they grab them out of an office and the message is not just to take that person out they want

01:02:48.160 everybody to see there are consequences for raising your voice that's right well you know what if

01:02:54.420 everybody starts raising their voice we are far more powerful than them they are bullies we can beat

01:03:00.420 them with courage they work through fear we courage is rooted in love okay if you love something then

01:03:06.700 you're willing to fight and if you love your country you love your community you love your family you love

01:03:11.320 your neighbors all of which might be imperfect and are that's right we're all imperfect but you stand up

01:03:17.180 with courage and you fight for it that's the antidote to their fear yeah I think the uh I think those are

01:03:24.380 all awesome points man you know I would just like to add on that too you know you guys rooting for

01:03:32.440 people who are speaking up is not enough right it's not and what that will get what that will get us

01:03:38.620 if that doesn't change which I think it is changing a little bit um that's going to get your favorite

01:03:44.460 personality is put in jail okay those people that are you're rooting for will will be selected out

01:03:51.280 you already see this like you see how they went after Joe Rogan they target yes the threats yes it is a

01:03:57.640 defined and clear methodology that tyrants always use people who are threats are targeted that's right

01:04:06.300 but what we see though the good thing we see is that it's not harmful right now okay we are still in

01:04:13.520 the window where we are free to speak that is closing all right when you look at Rogan and you saw

01:04:20.940 everybody come out and and go against him his show is higher rank now than it was then right all right so

01:04:27.120 right now you're being rewarded to be courageous and we have a heavy entrepreneur listenership here

01:04:33.640 yeah um and you guys can lead the charge with this by making your business pro-freedom 100 by by say hey

01:04:42.960 we we we do not buy into this this politically correct agenda we believe that our employees and our

01:04:49.600 customers and our people are free and we stand for freedom and when businesses start standing for

01:04:56.800 freedom that matters you guys might not think it does but here's the best part about it you're

01:05:02.240 going to make more money because people want to support that they are hungry to support that so when

01:05:09.320 you actually have some courage you could be the company in your little space that says you know what

01:05:15.580 we don't apologize for believing in the American flag we don't apologize for believing in the

01:05:21.120 constitution we don't apologize for believing in freedom and individual thought and individual

01:05:26.180 progression and if you do that you're going to stand out right now and and perhaps more importantly

01:05:34.240 you're going to be proud of yourself that's right at the end of the day as far as we know we all only

01:05:39.300 get one shot here yeah okay and you're going to have to ask your question at the end of your days what

01:05:44.300 did i stand for that's right right and winston churchill said teddy roosevelt said a similar thing

01:05:49.220 ulysses grant said a similar thing that any person any man who stands for something will have enemies

01:05:54.940 and if you stand up you are going to absolutely people are going to that you're going to face

01:06:01.420 consequences for it people are going to attack you if you really stand up but at the end of the day

01:06:05.920 you're going to be proud of yourself for having stood up and done what's right i think those consequences

01:06:11.200 are far overblown i i you know everybody i see that gets canceled does better everybody i see that 0.99

01:06:19.060 gets attacked does better and what's that tell you that tells you that people are tired of that shit 0.98

01:06:24.880 they're ready for a different message they're ready for freedom they're ready for you know non 0.99

01:06:30.780 like this this this thing what we have going on in society where you get your life totally destroyed

01:06:36.720 because you made a mistake or you said the thing the wrong way or you said something that they just

01:06:41.260 didn't agree with people are tired of that and and i don't think they're sick of it yeah people and

01:06:46.400 i don't think people care whether or not that person that is getting attacked actually uh agrees with

01:06:54.440 their personal views i think people recognize it as tyrannical yes deep down people know yeah people 0.98

01:07:00.720 get canceled by the people that supported them because they're not standing for what the fuck they 0.98

01:07:04.100 that's a great point dude you know i'm like you don't get canceled by the the karen that's yelling 0.98

01:07:08.300 at you she never fucking supported you to begin with anyway it's when you bend and support them 0.89

01:07:12.080 back and say oh i'm sorry people who don't shop at my business ever i'm sorry and i'll i'll create my 0.98

01:07:17.920 whole business plan around customers that aren't even my customers and that don't contribute anything

01:07:22.860 financially and don't really drive my business i'll make all my policies around you let me tell you

01:07:28.360 if that's you you're you're not a very good business owner okay you have to know your audience

01:07:33.740 you have to know that it's that you're the leader you're you guys are letting the the tail wag the

01:07:39.000 dog okay i'm just telling you i've been out there i don't know of anybody besides maybe 10 people who

01:07:46.180 have been as outspoken as me okay that's the truth guess what we're growing everything i'm doing

01:07:52.660 everything i'm associated with is on fire all right that's not a mistake that's because people say hey

01:07:58.240 you know what i like what he says and even if i don't like what he says i like these courageous

01:08:03.000 enough to say exactly and people respect that and a lot of you guys out there who are looking for a

01:08:08.580 way to to to you know i'm missing something i'm missing that i'm missing what you're missing is

01:08:13.240 the understanding that is very simple for me to understand 50 of the people have a propensity to

01:08:19.040 like you 50 of the people have a propensity to not like you your job is not to cater to the 50 of 0.96

01:08:25.040 people who aren't going to like you no matter what the fuck you do your job is to take the 50 of the 0.93

01:08:28.960 people that have a propensity to like you and make them love you and if you can understand that 0.99

01:08:34.500 you will be successful but the more you ride your fence and the more you are afraid to speak up not

01:08:40.720 only will you be nobody in business but you're you're you're abandoning your obligation as an

01:08:48.240 american in my opinion to actually uh do what's right because it this does not survive without our

01:08:54.720 voices this freedom does not exist without exercising freedom and the political correct

01:09:00.680 nature of our society has been designed intentionally to get you to self-censor if you self-censor and

01:09:08.320 you're afraid to fly your american flag and you're afraid to say that you love america and you're afraid 0.98

01:09:12.840 to say that you love freedom and you're afraid to say that all this shit going on in the world is 0.99

01:09:16.340 bullshit guess what if you're afraid to say it you're going to get more of it more and more and more 1.00

01:09:21.320 more and more and we will eventually look around and we're going to say holy shit and some of us are 1.00

01:09:25.220 doing this right now holy shit what just happened wow this is crazy right and and it's not what you 1.00

01:09:33.100 want you're not surprised in a good way you're like fuck this kind of sucks i wish i would have said 0.99

01:09:36.480 something and there will come a time where there will not be an opportunity to speak up and so i hope 0.97

01:09:42.660 you guys realize this started 20 something years ago this started with removing the flag from the

01:09:47.800 classroom this started with 17th place trophies this started with mediocre is okay now it's

01:09:54.520 everything is okay it doesn't matter what you do it's okay and in fact if you have a moral standard

01:09:59.740 of any kind or standards of any kind you're an evil person that's where they've taken it and you guys

01:10:04.640 how do people say well how do we get it back i'm not allowed to say anything no that's not true

01:10:10.620 you are choosing to not say something nobody's not allowing you you're choosing to not say something

01:10:17.720 that's what you have to understand oh you you're you're your sister-in-law is going to get upset

01:10:23.440 who cares you're you're self-censoring you cannot self-censor we will lose freedom

01:10:29.800 you have you have you have to get to a point in life i i believe yeah where you say you know what

01:10:36.140 i'm not going to shrink that's it i'm going to be proud of the fact that i have the right enemies

01:10:40.400 personally i'm proud of the fact that george soros comes after me yeah i'm proud of the fact that i was

01:10:45.420 sued by the satanic temple i'm proud of the fact that i get attacked by the mainstream media yeah i'm

01:10:50.400 proud of the fact that mitch mcconnell and carl rove come after me because you know what that means

01:10:54.760 i'm standing for people that's right and we've got and i i i sometimes say this when i'm out when we're

01:11:01.140 campaigning i say guys you know i have all the right enemies yeah right and if soros is coming

01:11:07.320 after me and the satanic temple and the rhinos and the mainstream media like it's because i'm doing

01:11:11.920 something right if i wasn't a threat to them they'd leave you alone so you have to look at the

01:11:17.620 people they leave alone yes yes okay they so what that says when you break it down guys is uh i'm not 1.00

01:11:25.880 scared of that guy i'm not scared of that guy i'm not scared of that guy but we gotta fuck with that 0.99

01:11:29.120 guy because he's a problem for us that's what hurts yeah but people are not connecting these dots yet 1.00

01:11:33.880 yeah like the more and more people are yeah more and more people i'll tell you this is a big difference

01:11:39.080 between 2016 and 2022 really yeah huge back in 2016 people knew like okay cnn and msnbc like they're

01:11:47.840 kind of like out there on the left they're biased but they're biased but they thought cbs nbc abc like

01:11:54.960 they're kind of shooting you shooting you straight no more no one trusts the mainstream media these are

01:12:00.760 real people that you talk to real people okay hundreds and thousands of them really thousands and

01:12:06.800 thousands of them ever no one trusts the mainstream media and in fact listen the mains that here's

01:12:12.740 what happens all the elitists always underestimate how intelligent real people are okay and the fact

01:12:18.900 is now when real people see that the mainstream media is writing a nasty story about someone the

01:12:25.240 immediate reflective assumption is that man or woman must be doing something right that is the

01:12:31.420 immediate reflective assumption because why because they've seen it they're smart they've looked time

01:12:36.840 and time and time and time again what do they do they shoot all of these lies out and they attack

01:12:42.180 people who are threats and so no one trusts the mainstream media anymore and it's one of the reasons

01:12:48.100 why frankly like podcasts like this do incredibly well again they underestimate the intelligence of real

01:12:54.400 people real people who are listening to this they'll spend 90 minutes they'll spend 120 minutes

01:12:58.980 having an intelligent deep historically informed philosophically thoughtful compassionate conversation

01:13:04.760 about the issues that are in front of us and they will spend an hour and a half two hours of their day

01:13:10.020 doing that because people are smart and they're on to their games they figured it out good that's good

01:13:16.960 to hear man because i know you talk to people on the street like every day all the time all the time

01:13:21.600 dude i was down in dunklin county missouri last saturday okay this is if you're looking at this

01:13:26.820 nationally this is the boot heel of missouri it's one of my favorite spots in missouri passionate

01:13:32.380 courageous strong people and everyone down there knows everyone if you've done a survey it's like 98

01:13:40.700 believe that the mainstream media lies yeah they get it about everything about everything yeah dude i'm to

01:13:47.080 the point now and this is where i tell people i'm like dude

01:13:49.920 if they're saying it there is a likelihood there is a legitimate opportunity a legitimate

01:13:58.140 chance that the exact opposite is actually true yes no legitimately it's legitimately like if you 0.92

01:14:05.980 watch cnn and you take their fucking headline and you flip it around the other way that's actually 0.92

01:14:11.240 what's going on like in most cases 1.00
