What's up, guys? This is Vaughn Kohler, and you're listening to the MFCEO Project.
00:00:04.440
On a crisp evening in St. Louis, Missouri, at Jay Gilbert's Steakhouse,
00:00:08.520
one of the MFCEO's favorite restaurants in the Gateway City,
00:00:12.080
Andy Frisella and entrepreneur slash social media phenom Sean Whalen talked about everything from
00:00:18.080
what it means to be a man to what's wrong with America. Today, the two attempt to reconstruct
00:00:23.300
that conversation. Don't look for a clear outline, my friends. Just sit back and be offended or
00:00:42.280
Hey, guys. What's up? You're listening to the MFCEO Project. I'm Andy, and I am the motherfucking CEO.
00:00:51.420
I'm here with a couple good buddies of mine. You guys all know Vaughn the Impaler,
00:00:57.640
a.k.a. DJ God. What's up, buddy? I thought you were going to say Sean and Tyler were your buddies.
00:01:04.520
Oh, I was going to. I was just tagging along. You've been elevated to buddy. I appreciate that.
00:01:08.260
All right. Congrats. Thanks, man. I'm also here with my homeboy, Sean Whalen,
00:01:12.180
straight out from Utah. I would ask you how many wives. That's like the straight up Utah joke.
00:01:16.820
It is the Utah joke. How many wives do you have? But I asked you that last time. Yeah,
00:01:20.180
I don't know how many I've got. It depends on the day of the week. Yeah.
00:01:22.800
So since I'm out of original jokes, Vaughn said in the intro, because I just heard him
00:01:31.200
do it, that you would be either offended or enlightened. And I would argue that there's
00:01:39.720
a lot of things that people should be offended about. But it's most of the things that they're
00:01:45.660
not offended about. You know, most of the things that people are offended about today are the things
00:01:50.400
they shouldn't be offended about. And some of the things that they aren't offended about,
00:01:54.740
they should be like why you let your kid go home with a fucking 17th place trophy and tell him
00:02:01.240
he did a good job. You should be fucking offended about that. Right. Like about your own parenting
00:02:05.820
skills. All right. I mean, recreating the dinner conversation that we had basically came down
00:02:14.120
to like, you know, how can we make America a better place based around the idea of common
00:02:20.560
sense? Um, how about making the world a better place? Cause we do have international listeners.
00:02:28.540
Yeah, but it still comes down to common sense. Right? No, I know. But you said, how can we make
00:02:32.620
America a better place? Well, I'm going to worry about America first, you know, if you're international
00:02:38.840
listener, I appreciate you, but I live here in America. I'm gonna worry about us first and then
00:02:44.220
we'll worry about that. I'm offended by that, but just FYI, I'm offended by your beard now because
00:02:49.240
it's better than mine. What the fuck, dude? It's a skill. It's an art. So, so like we talk about all
00:02:57.860
these things that we talked about, like, Hey, we're going to go on this tour and we're going to do this
00:03:01.480
stuff and we're going to, you know, try to make, you know, this a better place for everybody.
00:03:05.860
And I would argue that like the number one thing that we need to understand as a whole is that
00:03:14.960
we're all on the same fucking team. You know what I mean? I feel like when we look on the internet,
00:03:19.180
we look on, on Facebook, Instagram, anywhere that people have a voice. It's so, it's so clear how much
00:03:26.660
the two political sides hate each other. And they, it almost feels like it's two different countries.
00:03:32.360
And, you know, we know Sean, you and I, we've talked about this a million times,
00:03:37.500
you know, that's the design of our system is to make people not see what's really going on so that
00:03:45.220
they can get an agenda basically imposed upon them so that things work a certain way for the benefit of
00:03:53.200
other people, which by the way, aren't us. Yeah. Um, so we talked to a lot of it, a lot of things,
00:03:59.020
man. But, you know, I, I think the, the first thing that people that we wanted to look at,
00:04:06.460
you know, would be like, dude, look at things from a common sense standpoint. Yeah. You know,
00:04:10.600
that's what I see. And that's what got me into your videos and into your following you before we
00:04:15.860
ever even met was like the common sense approach that you take to relating, you know, truths,
00:04:23.860
which is what they are. You know what I mean? And, uh, you know, we talked last night, we talked
00:04:28.280
about, we were at dinner, we talked about, you know, how most people will not stand up and say
00:04:33.180
the things they're feeling. They will not. There's a reason your page went from zero to 160,000
00:04:39.180
followers, which by the time this airs, it's going to be 200,000, you know, basically in a very short
00:04:45.300
time, there's a reason that this podcast launches and all of a sudden it's in the top five podcasts,
00:04:51.040
you know, in a competitive market. Yeah. Right. In a very competitive market. And the reason is,
00:04:56.640
is because I feel like both of us say things that other people think, but won't say, which
00:05:02.440
is what ultimately I feel is causing the problem that we have here in our country. Yeah. You know
00:05:07.760
what I mean? Dude, it's like a perfect example is when the whole, um, I did this videos is without
00:05:13.520
question the, the, the most viewed video that I've got, it's like 14 and a half million views or
00:05:17.280
whatever on, on Facebook. And I don't even know how many, um, tens of thousands on, on YouTube,
00:05:21.860
but it was during the Confederate flag deal. Right. And everybody was pitted like either on
00:05:26.800
one side or the other. All right. This Confederate flag is like historical and it, and it, and it
00:05:31.160
represents, you know, history or it's a racist bigoted object that we need to get rid of. And so
00:05:37.080
I did a video where I was like, look, here's the deal. Black and white politicians have been
00:05:41.700
walking in and out of government buildings in the South for 50 years with that flag flying and
00:05:48.080
nobody said shit. Oh, but Sean, no, no, no. Here's the deal. It hasn't made CNN. It hasn't
00:05:52.480
made Fox. It hasn't been on whatever, whatever we've been talking about the Ebola or whatever
00:05:56.560
the hell that frigging virus is called and all kinds of random crazy shit. Nobody's cared about
00:06:00.780
the Confederate flag. So I do a video and I say that and I'm like, no one gave a shit about the
00:06:04.780
Confederate flag. Well, it just so happens that a lion in Africa ends up getting shot about the same
00:06:08.900
time. Cecil, poor Cecil. And everybody changes their Facebook profile to Cecil the lion and
00:06:13.580
God save the lions and God bless the lions and damn the dentist and let's ruin his life and the
00:06:18.060
whole thing. And I'm just stepping back and I'm looking at this whole thing like for real, like,
00:06:23.100
like seriously, who gives a shit? No, none of, none of you who purport to now be these huge
00:06:27.940
ad, you know, animal advocates and all of these people that are genuinely concerned about the racist
00:06:33.020
nature of a flag. Nobody gave a shit. So I did a, you know, four minute video on the beach with my
00:06:37.760
shirt off, just freaking rolling, like saying, look, nobody gave a shit about the Confederate
00:06:41.420
flag up until the time that CNN, Fox, ABC, NBC told you to. And none of you gave a shit about
00:06:46.220
African lions until Fox, ABC, NBC, CNN told you so. And you know, when you talk common sense that
00:06:52.120
that video has been shared over a million times has, I don't even know how many, like 70 or 80,000
00:06:58.020
comments on it. And I think the reason isn't, and the reason that it sparked so much controversy
00:07:03.160
and so much conversation is simply based off the fact that like, that's what everybody was thinking,
00:07:08.480
but nobody had the ability or the desire or the platform to say it. And no, it was easier for
00:07:13.460
them to just join in and say, Hey, I'm going to make Cecil my profile. Exactly. It's going to be
00:07:18.100
really, really simple. It's going to be really easy. And let's, or, or not say anything at all.
00:07:21.580
And I think, you know, what, what, what, what the commonality of the conversation that we had last
00:07:25.260
night, I think really boils down to common sense and common sense is now becoming this foreign
00:07:30.220
conversation. Right. Meaning no one wants to, that sounds weird. It's the truth. What you said
00:07:35.740
earlier, like when, when, when truth becomes obscured, like that's when shit starts getting
00:07:41.940
scary. It's like, look, I'm looking out the window right now. It's a blue sky and there's some
00:07:45.440
freaking clouds in there. People will like want to debate that and spin that and say, well, it's
00:07:49.400
because of that. No, the truth is it's a blue sky with, with white clouds, but we don't want to say
00:07:55.080
white. We want to say this because we might get offended or we might, and now all of a sudden truth
00:07:58.660
becomes completely obscured. So the guy who speaks the truth speaks the common sense, which
00:08:04.160
is none of you gave a shit about Cecil the lion. None of you gave a shit about the Confederate
00:08:07.840
flag. All of a sudden, like people just go crazy over that one. They want to either, you
00:08:12.360
know, massacre you and completely like crucify you or jump on board and say, hallelujah, somebody's
00:08:18.280
fucking saying it. Right. And like, you know, the thing, it's kind of sad that we're at that
00:08:22.980
point, you know, to where saying basic shit of truth is, is remarkable. Yeah. It's become
00:08:31.980
this, it's, it's become like this phenomenal feat that when you say something, people, people
00:08:36.220
literally will either jump on board or, or it, it people literally, the society look, I
00:08:41.440
mean, stripping all of the, all the rhetoric away. It doesn't matter if you're a Republican
00:08:44.500
or Democrat, you're black, you're white, you're gay, you're straight. It doesn't freaking
00:08:47.060
matter. The reality is anything you say in this society today, it's going to offend someone,
00:08:53.220
which has been the way society has been since the beginning of time. Right. Right. There's
00:08:58.360
always sides to things that, you know, and that's, that's the fucking problem, dude, is
00:09:04.840
that society as a whole, all of you as a whole listening, all of us in this room are part of
00:09:12.200
the problem because we've allowed this to happen. And what, what we've allowed to happen
00:09:16.960
is for some person out there, I don't know who it was, but somebody spearheaded this movement
00:09:25.960
to try to take all the sharp objects, all the danger, all the offensive language, all the
00:09:32.820
offensive principles, all the offensive ideals and create this society that cannot hurt anybody's
00:09:39.960
feelings. It can't hurt, um, you know, it can't hurt you physically. It can't hurt you
00:09:45.600
mentally. Everybody, it becomes, you know, successful. Everybody wins and they teach us
00:09:51.740
this, this story that when in reality, and we touched on this last time we spoke, ends
00:10:00.040
up handicapping. They think they're doing the right thing. They think they're being like
00:10:06.100
Vaughn, what would you say? What word did you use for this? Uh, compassionate. They, they,
00:10:11.780
they think they're trying to take, they're doing their, their kids a favor by teaching
00:10:16.920
them all this shit and they're doing everybody a favor. But the reality of the world is not
00:10:21.500
that, right? It's just not that, you know? So they come up with this theory that all people
00:10:28.420
are going to exist in peace. All people are going to harmony. Everybody's going to love
00:10:31.760
each other. Everybody's going to have a similar level of success. Everybody cares about these
00:10:37.380
things and blah, and nobody's ever going to have their feelings hurt. And the reality
00:10:40.520
is, is that's not the way it is. So what you're doing by trying to take all the sharp
00:10:45.000
edges off of life for your kids is you're creating a situation where they're going to
00:10:50.760
run in there with, you know, thinking that nothing's going to hurt them and they're going
00:10:54.480
to get their fucking asses beat, you know? And so what's more compassionate preparing
00:10:59.720
your kids and society and your employees and your students and everybody you have
00:11:05.480
contact with for reality? Or is it more compassionate to lie to them and let them
00:11:11.620
go out and get destroyed by the earth? And I think that's where we're having a
00:11:15.320
problem now. Yeah. We talked about dude, since the dawn of creation, literally since
00:11:18.960
the dawn of creation, there have been winners and there have been losers. I mean, a
00:11:22.160
simple, a simple aspect of this we talked about last night is, is like hunting. Look, that
00:11:26.640
deer has got to die in order for me to eat. And there is a winner and there is a
00:11:30.900
loser. I won that battle of, of life and death, which is very real. Who decided that
00:11:35.980
law, by the way? Did the government decide the law of that? No, that's what God
00:11:39.520
created. I mean, this is the thing that's interesting and, and, and, and, and, and
00:11:42.480
DJ God. Yeah. Good job. Well played, sir. It's fascinating to me to think that like
00:11:47.800
people think that these rules and this has been since the dawn of creation, survival of the
00:11:53.220
fittest, there will always be, and there has always been a winner and there will always
00:11:57.400
be, and there has always been a loser. Plain and simple. Like I honor that deer for, for
00:12:01.880
giving me the opportunity to eat and to feed my family. But that deer's life came to an
00:12:05.980
end so that I could eat at the end of the day, like literally teaching your kids, you, you
00:12:12.080
all tied, you're all equal. You're all the same. I want my kid to know, Hey, you got your
00:12:15.880
asses beat. So here's what you can do to train, to practice, to get better so that now you
00:12:21.240
can beat some asses. I mean, fun to see your kid lose. No, it's not fun. I don't have
00:12:25.660
fucking kids. Okay. Because I'm responsible and I have kids for the sake of having them
00:12:30.980
because I needed to have them to feel validated. Will I have kids? I hope so. Okay. But so
00:12:36.740
all those people out there are going to say, Andy, do you know, do you have any kids? No,
00:12:39.360
I fucking don't get over it. But here's the reality. This is what you should do with your
00:12:42.360
kids. Yeah. Cause I'm just going to fucking be that guy. Quit fucking looking at your kids
00:12:47.060
and expecting them to be this fucking all-star fucking athlete, you know, cause this is
00:12:52.860
where it fucking starts on the soccer field, right? My kids, the best soccer player out
00:12:57.420
there. How do you get the best? Well, he's naturally born. Well, why is the coach not
00:13:02.220
playing him? I don't know. It's not fair. Well, do you think the coaches are playing him
00:13:06.800
because maybe you're lazy and you don't practice with your kid or maybe your kid just
00:13:09.940
flat out sucks. Well, but most of the time this happens because parents don't put in the
00:13:15.000
fucking work required for their kid to be competitive and then they expect their kid
00:13:20.000
to have an opportunity to play, which is where this whole fucking fucked up concept of everybody
00:13:25.660
gets a chance came from. No motherfucker. You earn your chance to win. It doesn't matter
00:13:31.280
if it's sports, relationships, friendships, business, whatever. You have to put in the
00:13:36.580
fucking work and understand that you're going to fail and then understand that it's your
00:13:42.500
responsibility to improve from that point forward. So when we have parents who let their kids,
00:13:49.240
you know, like you're talking about your son wrecking his dirt bike, is that fun to watch
00:13:53.480
your son wreck his dirt bike? No. You're like, fuck dude, that looks like a hurt. But the reality
00:13:57.300
is you're glad that he did it because you know that he's probably not going to wreck the same
00:14:01.920
way again, which will ultimately make him a better rider and a safer rider. Right. Right. You look at
00:14:07.580
the kids who we wrap them up from a really, really, really young age and bubble wrap and hope that
00:14:12.200
they never get picked on, hope they never get pushed, hope that they never fall off the monkey
00:14:15.220
bars. Don't climb to the top. Don't do this. Don't. I mean, at the end of the day, like I, I got, I got
00:14:21.260
smacked around a couple of times when I was a kid. I got picked on, if you will, quote unquote,
00:14:24.700
I fell off shit. I broke bones. I mean, I did dumb shit my entire life and I turned out. All right.
00:14:29.720
But yet we literally wrap kids and I'm a father. I've got three kids and I've got the same
00:14:34.200
opportunity to wrap them up in bubble wrap, make sure that they never get their feelings hurt,
00:14:37.260
make sure they never, you know, fall off their dirt bike, make sure they never whatever. But
00:14:40.740
the truth of the matter is, is one of my sons is not very athletic, but he can ride a dirt bike like,
00:14:46.360
like a son of a bitch. Right. And so I'm like, push it. I'm like, cool. Like go ride your dirt bike.
00:14:50.740
It's what he wants to do. And there's no, like when he plays sports, he's quarter, he, the coach kept
00:14:55.660
putting him in a quarterback. Okay. And I kid you not, I got it on video and I'm not going to share it with
00:15:00.080
anybody. Cause it's, you know, I'm going to pretend that it didn't happen, but it fucking happened.
00:15:03.340
My kid throws like every single time he gets in a quarterback, he throws an interception.
00:15:08.020
He just lobs the ball up there and God bless him. He likes to throw, he likes to play, whatever,
00:15:11.520
whatever. But I go to the coach. I'm like, coach, you need a new quarterback. It's not knocking my
00:15:16.100
son. I'm like, my son's not a good quarterback. Now my son's really freaking fast. So I'm like,
00:15:20.000
how about this coach? Why don't you give him the ball and let him run that shit? Oh, but we want to
00:15:23.680
have everybody have an equal opportunity to play whatever. And I said, I flat out told this coach, I'm like,
00:15:27.700
he's not a good quarterback. Have you seen the fact that he's thrown every fucking interception in this game?
00:15:32.600
When you put him in a quarterback, let him run the damn ball. I'm okay with that. He's okay with
00:15:37.820
that. I promise you, I'm not going to see you. I won't call Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, or any other
00:15:41.720
freaking reverend. It's going to come over and bust your dick about like not playing my son equally.
00:15:46.000
Right. Like that's the reality is I flat out told my son, he's like, I dad, I don't like to be the
00:15:50.280
quarterback. I'm like, well, to tell your coach so that you can run the ball because every time they
00:15:54.900
give him the ball to run, his ass is a little freaking wheelhouse and he's in the end zone.
00:15:59.000
There's no, there's no shame in that. Like I'm okay with that, but we literally have built this
00:16:02.720
society. It's crazy to me. Like as a father, I mean, I watch these kids and I tell my kids flat
00:16:07.220
out, like all the other parents are like, Oh, you guys played so good. And it was a tie. And I'm
00:16:11.120
like, no, you got your ass kicked. You lost. And here's what you need to do to do better. Here's
00:16:15.260
what you like. My son falls off his dirt bike. He busts his ass on his dirt bike. I'm like,
00:16:18.600
what did you do wrong? He's like, I should have done this. I should have done that.
00:16:20.740
I don't know, man. Like if you think about it really hasn't been, I have my, I have my little
00:16:26.100
theory, but I like, I'm interested in yours. I don't, I'm not sure to be honest with you. I mean,
00:16:30.700
you look at it and it really hasn't been an ongoing thing. I mean, when I was raised, I mean,
00:16:35.480
I'm 36 years old, so it hasn't been like this hundred year problem kind of a deal.
00:16:39.740
I think within the last 10, 15 years, and I am not going to say that it's a Republican thing or a
00:16:44.220
democratic thing, or it's a social media thing or it's a media thing. I don't, I don't really know,
00:16:48.180
but there's something in the water. There's something going on. That's literally like
00:16:52.100
infecting. It's like a freaking, it's like an infection of just sensitivity in the marketplace,
00:16:57.460
in politics, in religion. And I mean, shit, shit. We talked about this earlier with religion. I mean,
00:17:02.460
good hell almighty. You say you can't talk about any, any more politics, sex, religion, money,
00:17:07.820
but the reality is that's the shit that actually matters in people's lives. And I think that's the
00:17:12.240
reason you and I are so polarizing is because we can talk about these issues in a really direct,
00:17:16.200
a really common sense way, which is why people listen and they pay attention and why our social
00:17:20.340
status, if you will, is growing. But dude, we're, we're, we're literally in a, in a, in a day and age
00:17:25.340
where you can't say anything about anybody. I'm the kind of dad where I'm like, if my kid lips off
00:17:32.580
in school, I want the teacher to freaking smack them upside the head. But heaven forbid, we even talk
00:17:38.240
to a child like wrong, you're, you're, you're, they will call the thing and all of a sudden,
00:17:43.980
like everybody cowers around and the principal cowers and they fire the teacher, even though
00:17:47.980
the kid deserved that shit. You know what I'm saying? And it's just like the, the, the idea
00:17:52.840
of political correctness. First of all, it's a bullshit term. It's totally, it's totally bullshit.
00:17:56.760
It doesn't exist. It's just some made up freaking term that people wrap around their sensitivity
00:18:01.060
where they're like, Oh, that's not politically correct. Well, what is politically correct?
00:18:04.380
Dude, you know, the thing is, is like when it comes to the kid thing, I think this all
00:18:09.740
started. I think the reason that this got going with the momentum that it, that it has
00:18:15.540
or has had is passive parenting. I feel like, I feel like parents buy their kid a fucking
00:18:23.500
Xbox and stick their kid in front of it. They don't play catch. They don't play football.
00:18:28.180
They don't fucking, you know, do the shit that like our dads and parents did, you know,
00:18:33.120
growing up, you know what I mean? And you know, I, I, I mean, that's, that's as a father,
00:18:40.040
I can, I can completely agree with that. You remember the, like the first, the case in
00:18:43.540
point, case in point, the Ferguson riots. You remember how, like when the kids came out
00:18:47.860
of high school, like at the end of the day, the school got out and who was the one who
00:18:51.300
started like the freaking riots and the kids, the high school kids were throwing bricks and
00:18:54.340
shit like that. I mean, they have from the helicopter, the helicopter was recording this
00:18:57.200
shit, right? See, I was raised in a day and age, probably the same way you were, which I don't
00:19:01.900
care about the cops. Like as a kid, I can run from the cops. What I'm terrified of is
00:19:06.520
the fact that my dad would see that shit on TV and be like, that's my little, that's
00:19:11.080
my boy. And my terror would come in, would, would be in coming home and my dad would whoop
00:19:16.740
my ass. It's the same thing that just happened with that girl. She's on in, in class on her
00:19:21.560
phone, right? The teacher says it's a no, I mean, look, the rules are you can't have a
00:19:26.320
freaking cell phone in class. Great. Everybody gets it. Everybody abides by it. Kids might not
00:19:29.980
like it too fucking bad. Put your phone away. The girl, the girl doesn't want to put her
00:19:33.340
phone away. The teacher asks, the teacher asks, teacher asks, she doesn't do it. She's
00:19:35.880
just a defiant little shit. Right. Well, the cop comes in and says, get your ass off the
00:19:39.200
phone, whatever, whatever the kid won't. So the kid, the cop picks this girl up, chucks
00:19:43.340
her across the room, arrest her, whatever the hell they do. Here's the deal. Everybody
00:19:46.260
can talk all day long about how the cop was excessive or this or anything. The part, the
00:19:51.240
point is you listen to the cops, but here's who needs to get their ass beat. Here's who
00:19:56.240
needs to get some common sense smacked into them. Mom and dad, mom and dad, that girl's
00:20:01.380
parents need to get their asses beat for the fact that they have raised the daughter
00:20:06.300
to could be completely defiant to any authoritative figure. We live in a day and age where like
00:20:11.480
literally there was a girl on Facebook the other day. God bless her. A mom, whatever,
00:20:15.920
whatever. Her, her, her little son was like 12 years old, my daughter's age. And he had a
00:20:20.420
beanie on that said, fuck the police. And she's over here explaining to the, to Facebook
00:20:25.020
world, how he's got freedom and how she loves the fact that, that he's expressive with his
00:20:30.040
views and whatever, whatever. This 12 year old little fricking shit is wearing a beanie
00:20:34.740
that says, fuck the police. He's 12 years old. It says, fuck the police. And she wants
00:20:41.300
to come into the conversation and be like, well, I'm allowing him to have his, um, his
00:20:45.140
liberties and whatever. You're just being a shitty ass parent. Exactly. Plain and simple.
00:20:49.460
Done and done. You were being a shitty parent who is literally not teaching your, so now
00:20:53.220
your kid, he's going to go to school and he's going to get told what to do. And the
00:20:57.080
guy, he's going to be like, fuck you to the cop. The cop's going to beat the shit
00:21:00.040
out of him, which is what the mom and dad should do. And what's going to happen. It's
00:21:03.440
going to be all over the news. And the mom's going to be like, Oh, I can't believe I beat
00:21:06.060
the shit out of my son. Well, it's because you told your son and allowed your son to have
00:21:09.400
the position of saying, fuck you to the police. She wants to defend him because she doesn't
00:21:13.280
want to feel like a failure. Exactly. Right. Exactly. And the little kid. And here's
00:21:16.360
what's interesting is I guarantee, I know the conversation is happening. I guarantee you
00:21:19.860
the kids coming home, you know, with all those little buddies and his little thing and they're
00:21:22.780
all on social media and they're on Facebook and they're all whatever, whatever TMZ and
00:21:25.820
all these other sites. And they're getting their little freaking balls all hairy and they're
00:21:29.040
just, you know, trying to be little men and yeah, they're trying to be little tough asses
00:21:32.760
and mom and dad don't want to do shit about it. Right. Mom and dad don't want to stand up
00:21:36.120
and be like, no kid, this is how it works. I appreciate your position at 12 years old.
00:21:39.820
And I appreciate the fact you're getting some hair on your balls and you're thinking you're
00:21:42.680
a little tough guy and that's cool. But until you turn 18, you're in my house and we will
00:21:46.040
not say that. We will not do that. It doesn't matter. It's like setting the fucking core values
00:21:51.520
for your company. It's insane. Except for your fucking house. Yeah. You know, like I don't
00:21:54.960
understand how hard this shit is. You know, like, oh dude, little Johnny, he's running the
00:21:59.380
fucking rampage. Well, who's allowed him to be on the fucking rampage? Exactly. I mean,
00:22:03.260
so let's, let's talk about that. You know, uh, we talked about, you know, the, the passive
00:22:10.680
parenting and the pussified bullshit that we've allowed our kids. Now we have these
00:22:15.180
kids who for the last 10 years have been brought up that way and we see it. Remember
00:22:20.820
we saw, we talked about this, um, this girl who came on from Northwestern on Neil Cavuto
00:22:26.140
Cavuto show. Yeah. She comes on, she says, well, I think we should get free tuition. I think
00:22:32.100
we should get $15 an hour minimum wage. I think we should blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And
00:22:36.600
he goes, well, how should we pay for it? And she's like, like frozen. Well, that's a good
00:22:44.000
idea. The fuck. Okay. Somebody's got to pay. You can't just keep saying, you know, oh,
00:22:51.240
well we get this, we get that, we get this. And it comes down to basic, you know, intelligence
00:22:57.100
of like what these kids are being taught. Are these kids even being taught basic shit
00:23:04.260
school? Here's the thing. My kid's school, my kid's school is banned playing tag because
00:23:10.300
they don't want anybody getting hurt and they don't want whatever. This is the point. Like
00:23:13.960
if you look at the way the core values have changed and with the moms and the dads and
00:23:17.920
the parents and the whole thing, I mean, my dad raised me flat out. Like, look, if you
00:23:21.560
get into a fight, here's my only rule. You don't throw the first punch, but you make sure
00:23:25.800
you throw the last. I could beat the shit out of a kid. And if I, if my dad found out that
00:23:30.280
he punched me first or came at me first, my dad would support me until the cows freaking
00:23:33.800
came home. But we literally live in a day and age where the victim, yeah, the quote unquote
00:23:39.720
victim bully mentality. See, I, I believe something completely different than what most people
00:23:45.920
think. And the reality is without victims, there would be no bullies without having a
00:23:52.260
victim mentality. There would be no bullies. But when do the quote unquote bullies show
00:23:56.400
up when the victims start crying? Oh, he's a bully. He's a bully. He's a bully. Well, dude,
00:24:00.120
I could say that I don't like freaking water bottles and you could like love water bottles
00:24:03.700
and now all of a sudden I'm an asshole and I'm a racist and I'm a bigot because I'm talking
00:24:07.000
about freaking water bottles. Without our society and the system that we've put in place
00:24:11.780
and it, and let's pin it. It goes from the top down. It goes from Barack Obama, the president
00:24:17.200
of the United States of America, all the way down to Congress, the Senate, to the leaders,
00:24:21.200
to the teachers, to the parents. We have literally created a victim mentality and a victim society
00:24:26.240
where everybody is entitled to something. And at the end of the day, anything that said,
00:24:31.200
good, felt, or done that makes you feel even remotely like uncomfortable, we run and tell
00:24:37.400
somebody, even as adults, even as adults. It's insane to me, man.
00:24:41.980
Dude, the whole fucking HR department was formed because of this. You know, 30 years ago,
00:24:47.500
Yeah. Is that around the time where everybody realized that they could literally get sued
00:24:51.560
for anything? Dude. Well, when did we start allowing people to get sued for anything?
00:24:55.560
So lady, look, if you're so, the reason that there is a warning label on this coffee cup,
00:25:00.580
there's, there's, there's, there's, there's a, there's a warning on the top of this coffee
00:25:03.940
cup that says, attention, it's hot because the lady got, gets a McDonald's cup of coffee,
00:25:09.120
spills the shit in her lab and sues McDonald's for the hot ass coffee that she's been drinking
00:25:12.940
her whole life. Dude, thank you, dude. This brought up another good point. Remember the list that
00:25:17.440
we made last night of what the fuck is wrong with America? All right, here, put this on
00:25:21.000
my list, Vaughn. This is what we're going to fucking go for. Dude, if you sue somebody
00:25:25.540
in America and you lose, you have to fucking pay the cost of, of suing the other person.
00:25:31.000
Yeah. And public apologies and the whole deal. Right. Exactly. Yeah. Like dude, because right
00:25:35.220
now, you know, there's no, there's no repercussions. You sue anybody for anything.
00:25:39.060
Zero accountability. Right. Exactly. So like, well, and why is that? And that is simply
00:25:43.840
because if you look at the quote unquote leadership of the country, the leadership of America,
00:25:48.860
everybody's a lawyer in the fucking office from the top down, no one's accountable. No
00:25:54.300
one is accountable from the top down. The president's not accountable. The congressmen, the senators,
00:25:58.620
the leaders, the team, no one's accountable to anybody. It's kind of like hot potato. Everybody
00:26:02.380
wants to pass something to somebody else. Why? In fear of what? Making a mistake and fear
00:26:07.860
wise. I mean, that's the reality is like somebody's got to be accountable for something. Parents
00:26:11.700
are like, Whoa, shit. I can't spank my kid because they might call the division of child
00:26:15.760
family services. You're damn right. I'm going to smack my kid. And I hope you show up and
00:26:19.200
come to my house because my kid was lipping off and that's how it works in my place. That's
00:26:22.900
just how it is. Yeah. So I was raised. I mean, dude, if I raise my voice to my mom or talk
00:26:27.040
back to my mom, heaven help my ass. I would get smacked across the freaking room by my dad.
00:26:31.580
My dad was here. I stayed at least two arms lengths away from him. I mean, he's 70 years
00:26:36.040
old. I'm fucking a big dude, man. And I stay at least two arms lengths away so I can
00:26:40.400
talk shit that way. Cause I know if I'm close, man, he's going to pop you. So like, you know,
00:26:45.560
I I've, I've learned to adapt. I don't get hit anymore. You know? Yeah. That's cause I'm
00:26:49.540
faster. But the reality of it is we came up with this cool list of how we're going to
00:26:53.340
fix America. Cause we all have these conversations, right? We have, uh, these conversations at
00:26:57.980
home was like, you know, the mom and dad, or, you know, you're you and your girlfriend
00:27:01.620
or me and my wife are like, ah, you know, and we come up with all these ideas. And we had
00:27:05.940
that conversation last night. How can we literally fix what's going on? Okay.
00:27:10.400
We already started remove the fucking participation mentality, the everybody wins mentality. Start
00:27:16.240
telling people what it means to actually compete for where they are. I just brought up my number
00:27:20.600
two point, which is actually more like number six, but don't allow people to sue other people
00:27:25.220
without having to cover the costs of that. And you know, basically make it right. But when
00:27:29.360
you talked about the office, right, you, we have people in political office that are in
00:27:34.680
a fucking, they're in a club where they get to make the rules that don't fucking apply
00:27:40.660
to them. Yep. Okay. So that's point number three. All right. When Sean and I get in office
00:27:45.040
and we're become presidents of the United States of America, co-presidents. All right.
00:27:49.620
Co-presidents. See, we're changing the rules already, but they apply to us. I would have no
00:27:54.000
problem applying to our own fucking rules. Okay. We, why do, why do they get to not obey the
00:28:01.340
rules that they fucking set for us? It's not right. Okay. Well, it was another thing we
00:28:05.740
talked about term limits, you know, fucking Vaughn, you, you, you said one, six year term.
00:28:12.500
I said two, two year terms, but the point is you can't be a career politician, you know,
00:28:17.940
everybody looking out for their own, you know, making laws to protect them. Dude, the, the,
00:28:22.920
the, you know, I hate to like turn this into political show, but you know, you, you know,
00:28:27.880
fuck it's my show. We'll talk about whatever the fuck we want to talk about, you know,
00:28:30.860
but it is kind of weird that you have all these political figures out there who are currently in
00:28:36.240
office on payroll by us running for office that you or I or whoever may not, you know, agree with,
00:28:44.920
how does that work? I mean, this is the thing is it's not even a political conversation of,
00:28:49.800
of, of Republican Democrat, but you know, Barack Obama, this is, this is the every single politician.
00:28:55.580
This is Republican and Democrat. Barack Obama to, to, to become reelected to run again,
00:29:01.260
literally traveled the country campaigning while he was still commander in chief.
00:29:07.580
He was, he was literally going coast to coast campaigning for reelection while he was commander
00:29:12.160
in chief, while he was collecting the check, spending the tax dollars to fly Air Force One,
00:29:17.300
to fly the security detail, to get reelected. It's kind of like, you know, that, that's like
00:29:21.700
paying a CEO of a company to run the company where he's out doing something else. Right. And you're
00:29:28.240
still paying him and he's not running the company and you're just hoping that someone else takes care
00:29:32.360
of business. This is track record should speak for itself on the real. Yeah, it's, it's crazy,
00:29:36.800
you know, but I mean, you know, we have so many things that are fucked up, you know, with our system
00:29:42.920
that people don't even think about, you know, and, and, you know, to your point of, of Cecil, the lion
00:29:48.480
and, you know, the videos that you made regarding that, you know, people are, are more enamored with
00:29:54.560
stories about the Kardashians than they are understanding how bad they're getting fucked
00:29:58.920
on their, by, by the government. You know, let's create all these little issues and put all these
00:30:03.800
things in the media so we can entertain these people and then we can like pickpocket them on
00:30:08.020
the backside. Yep. You know what I mean? And you have, you have a government who doesn't pass laws
00:30:14.220
that apply to them. Okay. You have a government that allows special interest groups and lobbies
00:30:20.560
to pay and provide bonuses and under the table benefits for these people that are making decisions
00:30:28.840
that are supposed to be in our best interest. Okay. Now let's be real here. Okay. I'm everybody here
00:30:36.740
at the ultimate end of the day and anybody listening who disagrees with this is a fucking liar. Okay.
00:30:42.900
We worry about ourselves. Okay. And if you're in office and you go to office with this clear heart
00:30:49.480
and this clear conscious and is righteous, you know, I'm going to do the right thing attitude.
00:30:54.500
And there, I believe there's a lot of people who get into politics with that mentality. I'm going to
00:30:58.760
do the right thing. I'm going to be the difference. I'm going to be the different guy. And then what
00:31:02.780
happens, you know, the big pharma group comes in and says, Hey, um, I'll pay, I'll give you access to
00:31:09.400
my vacation house, uh, for, you know, two weeks a year. If you vote this way, or I'll, I'll figure
00:31:15.440
out a way to get your kid into fucking Harvard, or I'll figure out a way to slide you 2 million
00:31:19.760
bucks under the table. If you vote for this. And then all of a sudden it's not about America
00:31:24.100
anymore. It's about what is good for my family. Right. You know what I mean? And I don't care who
00:31:29.300
you are, man. That shit that it's going to sway you to think certain ways. Well, that's, that's why
00:31:34.500
being a career politician doesn't work. Exactly. If you're worried about shit, if I don't get
00:31:38.660
reelected, I might lose my $175,000 a year job. I'm going to lose this. I'm going to lose all that
00:31:43.260
stuff. Right. So I need to figure out what to do to keep my job, forget the constituency.
00:31:47.720
Ultimately, I only need a small portion of them to be able to vote for me so that I can win. And
00:31:52.420
typically the portion that is going to vote for me are the people that I'm going to do the special
00:31:56.820
interest for the game. It's crazy. The game, the game becomes what's best for America. What's best for
00:32:03.280
the state that I represent? And it goes from that to what can I get away with that benefits me
00:32:10.560
without getting me in a situation where I don't get reelected? Yeah. Okay. And, and that's not
00:32:15.480
right. Yeah. You know what I mean? And that's why you need term limits. That's why there shouldn't
00:32:20.780
be a special interest groups. There shouldn't be lobbies that can pay people for votes. That's not
00:32:26.480
right. You know what I mean? They shouldn't be able to do those things because it removes the
00:32:31.420
ability for people to, to be pure hearted and what's best for America. And so what happens
00:32:36.320
is, is, you know, if we switch those things, if we take away their ability to take money
00:32:41.720
and we take away their ability for special interest groups and we take away 20 years and
00:32:46.520
fucking, you know, in government and we make it a maximum of four years, you know, two,
00:32:51.280
two year terms or something short like that. Now, if you want the speaking engagements,
00:32:54.920
if you want the book sales, if you want the money and the fame and the things that come
00:32:59.420
after that, what do you have to do? You got to actually do some shit. You got to do some
00:33:02.500
good shit for America. Yeah. You got to be a fucking true patriot. You got to care about
00:33:07.540
your country. You got to care about your people and you have to make shit work in a positive
00:33:12.180
way so that people could say, Hey, fucking Sean Whalen got shit done when he was there.
00:33:16.420
Yep. I'm going to read his fucking book. Okay. So it changes from this cancerous, egotistical,
00:33:23.360
selfish position to a noble position in basically three or four steps that are very simple.
00:33:31.760
You know, I mean, so what are, so what are those steps? So how do the idea, the concept
00:33:37.000
that we're talking about, you and our action takers were practical appliers of knowledge.
00:33:41.440
How do you do this? How do we do this right now?
00:33:43.600
Well, the problem, I think, I mean, obviously the problem, here's the deal, you know, us for
00:33:48.900
the government right here, we've got four people sitting at this table. None of us are going
00:33:51.940
to vote for this shit because it fucking hurts all of us. So the reality is, is you people
00:33:57.080
listening have to quit being a pussy about the views that you decide not to express, which
00:34:03.880
I know a lot of you guys are being pussies because you rally behind my words, you rally
00:34:08.400
behind Sean's words, but you won't fucking say shit yourself because you don't want to
00:34:12.720
be called a fucking bigot or a racist or fucking some other bullshit term, selfish, materialistic,
00:34:20.580
whatever, because it's easy for these other people to throw labels on you. But the reality
00:34:25.020
is, is no, I'm not any of those things. I'm speaking for fucking what's good for all of us,
00:34:29.980
all the brothers and sisters of fucking America, you know, and we don't have anybody that is
00:34:34.860
out there truly for the people. We just don't because the system doesn't allow that to happen.
00:34:42.040
Right. And so what, you know, you asked me what I think needs to be done. I, you know,
00:34:47.360
I think people need to start by saying, Hey, this is what I fucking believe. And if you don't
00:34:52.140
like it tough shit, instead of being this fragile little puss that says, you know, you know, like
00:34:58.060
that, I mean, I see ridiculous shit on Facebook lately, you know, racial tension. You've mentioned
00:35:03.320
the Ferguson thing and like all this shit with the races, you know, I don't give a fuck if
00:35:07.860
someone's black or whatever, white, yellow, I don't give a shit. But like, I saw somebody say,
00:35:12.560
Oh, I saw two black dudes leaving this. And some fucking person was like, you're a fucking racist.
00:35:17.320
They're not black. They're what do you mean? Black people. The fuck are you talking about?
00:35:22.120
I mean, you're fucking black. Yeah. There's no racism in that. Yeah. That's like saying, dude,
00:35:26.800
you're fucking, you know, Andy, you're white. No, actually I'm Sicilian. You know, you're fucking
00:35:32.580
racist. You know what I mean? Like, dude, people are like, they're so afraid to fucking say
00:35:37.740
anything because they don't want to get a label slapped on them that, that they say
00:35:41.780
nothing. And what happens is the, the, the, the fucking do-gooder agenda, the politically
00:35:47.420
correct agenda. I, my dad calls a do-gooder, I call it idiot, but whatever you want to call
00:35:52.920
it, that agenda gets pushed because of default. You know, it gets pushed because people like
00:35:59.280
us won't speak up. Right. You know what I mean? And so by default, because we let these
00:36:03.720
people whine and cry and pout, they end up getting in their way because you, people like
00:36:07.900
you, smart people, we talked about this last night, entrepreneurs, people who are successful,
00:36:12.120
they look at these problems. You know, you know why we have very little quality people
00:36:16.460
in office? Because the people who are out there doing the shit that know how to run
00:36:19.800
the shit that are smart enough, they look at these problems and say, fuck that. I'm going
00:36:23.580
to fucking do my own shit. So that's the question then is how does this shit change? Because
00:36:27.980
we know that the, the, the, the congressman, the senators, the leadership that's
00:36:31.700
currently there is what's perpetuating. And it's like the snowball. It just keeps
00:36:35.160
getting bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger. And we're electing the same people.
00:36:38.740
So you've got this lethargic society who literally elects Barack Obama. Why? He's
00:36:44.300
got zero history. He's got zero pedigree. He's got zero, cause it's a feel good story,
00:36:47.940
right? It's a popular thing right now. Yeah. So we, so we put him in office. So they're
00:36:51.060
smart. They made it that way. So the reality is like true, true conversation right now.
00:36:55.820
How do you change that? Because the guys like you and I who are doing shit, getting shit
00:37:00.540
done it. The only way that I see this changing, you want to talk real change. Like how in the
00:37:05.620
hell is this going to change is guys like you and I getting into office guys like you
00:37:11.140
and I running and having the collaborative effort saying, look, I don't need 175 grand
00:37:15.460
a year from being a freaking Senator or a congressman. Fuck that. In fact, I'm going to
00:37:19.000
give it all the wounded warrior project and we're going to go down this path and we're going
00:37:22.300
to eliminate all the freaking special interest, all of the bonuses that we get until the day we
00:37:26.460
die. So on and so forth. The question is, is, are there enough guys like you and I
00:37:30.520
to do it and what's it going to take to get those guys to all like unilaterally? I see
00:37:36.020
like literally getting guys like you and I across the country to be like, all right,
00:37:40.300
this is the deal. 2020 we're taking over. We're literally going to take over and we
00:37:43.580
rally our own troops in our own places and say, this is like the mathematical algorithm
00:37:48.460
that it's going to take for me to win my district, you to win your district, me to become
00:37:52.020
a congressman, you to become a congressman. We all get in there and then we just torpedo the
00:37:55.240
whole fucking thing. Well, I mean, I, I think that a lot of what we talk about, I think
00:37:59.640
people, you know, I call them asterisk holes, you know, they're going to fucking poke holes
00:38:04.820
and everything, which they should, you should be curious. You should poke holes. You should
00:38:08.920
think. Okay. But I think it's the popular thing to do now to discount somebody who speaks
00:38:15.440
in plain language, who speaks in common sense, who speaks, who has tattoos or whatever, who
00:38:21.480
has a fucking beard. And it's easy for people to say, Oh, that guy's just a fucking redneck.
00:38:25.200
Yeah. You know, he curses. He's just a redneck. He doesn't know what the fuck he's talking
00:38:28.420
about. You know, the reality is, is like, that just shows me how ignorant people really
00:38:33.440
are because they judge people are based upon those kinds of like presumptions as opposed
00:38:38.980
to like actually listening to the words coming out of the motherfucker's mouth. Exactly.
00:38:42.600
You know what I mean? Like, it's like, well, people I say all the time, cause I'm interested
00:38:45.860
in politics and I want to get involved in politics and I will very soon, you know, how your
00:38:50.560
qualifications. Why are you qualified? How are you qualified to become what makes somebody
00:38:55.380
qualified anyway? And that's exactly my point. What man on this planet, I don't give a shit
00:38:59.740
if you're, if you're Republican, Democrat, black, white, if you've run a multi-billion
00:39:03.580
dollar empire or you're freaking running a taco truck down on the freaking side of the
00:39:07.180
road, what man is qualified to put his finger on a nuclear arsenal that would blow up the
00:39:12.760
world 10 times over? None. What qualifies? Does the, did they have a class at Harvard that
00:39:17.680
I don't know about? Is there, is there, is there a freaking, uh, is there a degree at
00:39:21.240
Stanford that says, here's how you handle a nuclear arsenal and an army into this and
00:39:25.640
that? No one, no man on this planet is qualified, but how do we get them in there? We get them
00:39:30.720
in there. And up to this point, it's been based off of the snowball continuing to roll
00:39:35.080
and ultimately people just buying into the bullshit that's been fed. Why? Because from little
00:39:40.700
kids, we've been coddled to go down the path of least resistance. I think people are sick
00:39:45.720
of the bullshit. I do too. I believe it. I, I don't think that you would have somebody
00:39:49.980
like Donald Trump. And like I told you last night, I mean, I'm not a fucking Trump supporter.
00:39:55.120
Do I think the guy's more capable of running a country than Hillary Clinton? I do. Yeah.
00:39:59.000
Cause he's run multiple businesses. People say, Oh, well he's went bankrupt four fucking
00:40:02.600
times. That's what makes him all the more qualified. Exactly. Cause he came back. Yeah.
00:40:06.000
But the point is, is that, you know, do I disagree with the way he does things? Yeah, I do
00:40:10.200
because he's purposely polarizing people, you know, which is the fucking typical political
00:40:15.520
agenda. You know, the reality of the situation is I have liberal beliefs. I have fucking right
00:40:21.800
wing beliefs, you know, but the, but the truth of the matter is, is I do also have the ability
00:40:26.980
to decide what's more important to me. Do my more concerned with these social issues that
00:40:33.180
are, you know, feel good. Or am I more concerned with what's good for my kids that are going to
00:40:39.240
grow up, you know, and be a part of this country later. You know what I mean? And, and people
00:40:43.860
have trouble deciding those issues in our government, the way they stay in power, the way that they
00:40:49.080
are is by, they force the division to happen so that we can't even have conversations. I
00:40:54.620
mean, to try to have a conversation. I run into it all the time because people could, people
00:40:59.840
always like put me as a Republican when I'm not a fucking Republican. I just, I'm physically
00:41:05.040
conservative. You know, I understand social issues. I understand what people, you know,
00:41:09.220
think rights and wrong. And I think people have the, the right to live their life socially
00:41:13.620
the way they want to live. I'm not fucking worried about that. Yeah. You know, so you
00:41:17.020
get these arguments from these fucking liberals that attack Republican quarter. And I'm not
00:41:21.420
even fucking Republican, but they attack my position because they're so used to being
00:41:25.660
in that fucking fight mindset. When in reality, we're all Americans, you know what I mean?
00:41:30.920
Black people, white people, yellow people, you know what I mean? The Indians, everybody
00:41:35.680
here, we're all fucking American. You know what, when are we going to stop fucking being
00:41:40.400
against each other so that these other people can impose their will on us? Cause I think everybody's
00:41:45.960
tired of the, the left or the right. You know, the reason Donald Trump's even getting consideration
00:41:52.160
is because there is something about him that's fresh, you know, like dude, he says what it is.
00:41:57.520
And it's like, he just says the common sense shit. People are like, fuck finally. But like,
00:42:02.820
what have you really said the common sense shit? Like, cause he only does a little bit.
00:42:06.480
Yeah. You know what I mean? You're going to see people from social media. I firmly believe
00:42:11.140
you are going to see a president of the United States elected from social media platform in the next
00:42:16.080
15 years. Yep. Without question. Yeah. Without question. In 2020, it's going to happen in 2020,
00:42:21.440
right? Because you could say, there you go, because you could say shit, you could say shit
00:42:26.480
on social media and it resonates with people in an informal way. Whereas if you said the same shit
00:42:34.240
on a podium in front of a news camera, you would get fucking slaughtered. You know what I mean?
00:42:38.340
Cause they'll spin it and they'll this and they'll that. Right. We're, we're moving into an age in my
00:42:42.260
opinion. And you know, this is like Gary Vaynerchuk talks about, you know, the social media and the
00:42:46.480
application they're on and stuff like that. But I think we're moving politically. We've
00:42:51.360
literally internally self-sabotaged in the sense that the system that we have right now
00:42:56.440
from our education with our kids all the way up to our elected officials in Washington,
00:43:01.580
it's so fractured and it's so broken that literally no one wants the same thing that we have anymore,
00:43:08.540
but there are no other options. There is no clear path. And so I firmly believe-
00:43:13.360
So they're choosing the best of terrible situations.
00:43:15.700
Yeah. It's the least of, it's the path of least resistance. It's like,
00:43:18.520
like just picking the, you know, the, the, the lesser of two evils kind of a deal.
00:43:22.940
I believe that within the next, by 2016 it won't happen because it hasn't,
00:43:27.040
there really isn't anybody that's been able to step up and articulate and orate how exactly
00:43:32.380
to make the changes. But I believe that, that the 2020 election will be a tipping point.
00:43:36.960
You know, Malcolm Gladwell talked about in his book, tipping point about how this works.
00:43:40.680
And I believe that all of our society is moving in that direction where we truly believe that,
00:43:45.120
that society is dumb and lethargic and asleep and whatever, whatever. But at the end of the day,
00:43:50.100
no one is showing a clear path of how to change and how to create what you and I have talked about
00:43:56.340
And I don't think it is. And I don't think it is that society is dumb. I think society,
00:44:01.860
I think people assume they're dumb because we, like we said, we've gotten to a point in time where
00:44:06.760
you can't say anything without being blasted. Right.
00:44:09.520
You know what I mean? So that's the perception. So you have a lot of smart people out there that
00:44:13.700
won't speak up and they have common sense beliefs. Right. And it's, and, and people assume that
00:44:19.400
their silence is that they're dumb. It's not that they're dumb. It's that they don't want to deal
00:44:23.280
with arguing with morons. Right. You know what I mean? And well, and some, some you got, you and I
00:44:28.300
have talked about is, is we kind of envisioned, you know, what brought you and I together in this
00:44:33.460
conversation and, and, and social platforms and stuff is that you're thinking you're an Island.
00:44:37.600
You know, I'm thinking that I'm an Island. Like I'm the only guy out there talking the way that
00:44:41.660
I'm talking, saying what I'm saying. You're like, you've told me this. I'm the only guy out there.
00:44:46.020
And all of a sudden you resonate with another message. And I feel like that's going to continue
00:44:49.280
to happen. The more social media becomes free, if you will, to people opening up and becoming
00:44:54.940
real and raw and authentic, you're going to see that. And you're going to see a collaboration of
00:44:58.880
people that, I mean, even with like the tea party, the tea party is not even what, like seven years
00:45:03.200
old, eight years old, the tea party is not even that old. And they're already a massive contender,
00:45:07.840
if you will, in the political sphere. They did that without Facebook per se. So we're moving into
00:45:13.000
an age where when you can get a million people to march on Washington, the way the million man
00:45:18.540
marched in, whether or not there were a million people there, it's, you know, whatever called
00:45:21.480
the million man March. You know exactly what I'm talking about, whether there was 600 or 800,
00:45:24.160
whatever you're moving into an age where literally people have gotten so sick and tired of the way
00:45:28.340
that it is and are so ready for something different that as soon as somebody comes to the table
00:45:33.080
through the social platforms, through the Facebooks, through the Paris group and says,
00:45:37.040
look, this is a viable option. This isn't some pie in the sky bullshit deal, but this is a viable
00:45:42.800
plan. This is what you need to do to do it. You're going to see radical, radical revolution in America.
00:45:50.260
I know from a business owner, I mean, I know that most people are unaware of what the government
00:45:57.280
really does to the economy. You know what I mean? They, they, they're unaware. Like, you know,
00:46:04.220
we were talking about earlier, if I have one unit of product and I want to sell that, let's say I've
00:46:09.260
got, you know, one pallet of product and it would cost me a thousand bucks and I sell that, that pallet
00:46:14.880
product for 2000 bucks. You know, people are like, Oh, you made a thousand bucks. Well, no, I didn't
00:46:18.960
make a thousand bucks. Okay. Because first of all, I got to pay all my expenses. I got to pay the cost of
00:46:23.340
goods. And if I want to grow my business, I've got to spend enough that at least 50%, you know,
00:46:29.340
to do that. And then what happens is the government comes in and for you to grow,
00:46:33.740
they tax you on the reinvestment money that you put back into your products. So what happens is
00:46:39.800
you're taxed there. And then when I sell that product, if I want to take a paycheck, I get taxed
00:46:43.860
there. All right. Well, if you really want small business to thrive and you want to employ people
00:46:47.600
and you want the economy to grow and become this massive, you know, productive machine
00:46:54.020
that it could be, why are you doing that? Why are you taxing people to reinvest in their,
00:46:58.580
in their product? Why, why is, how is that the right thing? So what's your, what's your solution
00:47:02.760
for that? Cause I have an idea. I have a, they need to remove that fucking tax. And then what
00:47:06.680
they need to do is instead of taxing businesses there, what they need to do is they need to take
00:47:11.540
the tax that they don't enforce on the internet and make it enforceable on the internet. Because
00:47:17.200
in all these companies, there's gonna be a lot of people who are listening right now. I'm not
00:47:19.800
paying a tax on the internet. Well, realize what you're talking about is you're talking about giving
00:47:24.480
a competitive advantage to a internet company, which employs up to 90% less people than brick and
00:47:31.240
mortar companies in the United States. So when you give them a competitive advantage and they employ
00:47:36.860
less people, guess what? There's less fucking jobs for you. Okay. There's people don't think
00:47:43.180
like this. And what they think is like, Oh dude, free shit on the internet. No tax. This is awesome.
00:47:48.120
But, but then it costs them their job. They don't think about it. You know what I mean? So I mean,
00:47:54.440
there's just all these things. You got these States going broke. They're not collecting internet
00:47:57.600
tax. Well, you know, 50% of the fucking tax they were collecting 15 years ago is now on the
00:48:02.800
internet that they're not collecting. And they wonder why they're fucking broke. You know,
00:48:06.740
it's ridiculous, man. There's just tons and tons and tons of things that are just backwards that
00:48:11.400
make no fucking sense that they allow to happen. You simplify it. I mean, this is where, you know,
00:48:17.100
you and I've talked and we'll, we'll do another podcast on this on like actual practical applications
00:48:21.200
of like how to solve this shit. Really simple deal. Flat tax, plain and simple, seven and a half
00:48:25.540
percent corporate personal done and done. Oh, but everybody, the rich and the poor. And we're going
00:48:30.640
to get right back to that conversation. Fuck it. Everybody across the board done and done pay seven
00:48:35.640
and a half percent business personal. Doesn't freaking matter if you're a billionaire. If
00:48:40.020
you're working at McDonald's, it helps everybody period. Done and done. There is no, there are
00:48:44.480
no more loopholes. There are no more of this. It's just a flat tax. Like the fucking people,
00:48:49.140
when the people talk about, you know, the rich, they're fucking like the, when people, the average
00:48:55.340
person hears the media talk about the rich. Okay. And the big businesses, they, they think,
00:49:01.360
they think me, you know, we're fucking small to medium sized business. They don't realize
00:49:07.080
that there's multi-billion dollar corporations out there that pay zero fucking tax because
00:49:13.240
they get through all these loopholes because of how many people they employ. And they, you
00:49:16.880
know, they, we have a 13,000 page tax code, 14,000, whatever the hell it is. I've got a really
00:49:21.620
simple solution. A one page tax code that says 7.5% and everybody pay, you pay, done and done
00:49:26.540
paying in simple. I mean, that's the simplification of, of, of literally these complex issues that
00:49:32.060
have become so crazy that even our own leaders don't even understand it. Let's simplify shit.
00:49:37.640
Let's just create a really, really simple model. Like, like what you talked about, the whole
00:49:41.700
thing with insurance. I mean, why is insurance going up so high? Why is malpractice insurance
00:49:45.180
going up so high? Why is it so bad for doctors and for everybody else? Well, because of the
00:49:48.880
lawsuit, the frivolous lawsuit bullshit. So you've got a really simple solution for that. Cool. You file a
00:49:54.280
lawsuit and lose. You got to pay for that shit. That's going to deter you from filing a frivolous
00:49:58.360
lawsuit about how you spilled coffee on your balls and you want to sue McDonald's because of it.
00:50:02.220
In a lot of other countries, that's the way it is. Yeah. You don't see that shit a lot of other
00:50:05.060
countries. And then on top of that, like I said, you take away the laws that make the laws apply
00:50:09.140
to everybody. You make the fucking terms short. So they have to fucking have our best interest in
00:50:14.120
mind. Dude, you're, you're talking about simple shit. It's really, really simple. Like, like I've,
00:50:18.840
I've said this in it. But dude, what they try to do is they'll, they'll, they'll say, Oh, Sean,
00:50:23.460
that doesn't fucking work because it does work. Sean, that doesn't work, you know? And they'll
00:50:27.640
paint this fucking complicated picture that the average Joe like looks at and says, man, you know,
00:50:33.400
he's got a good point. That doesn't look like it worked, even though I don't know what the fuck
00:50:36.000
he just wrote there, but it looks complicated. So it must be right. Yeah. And, and so, so it's the
00:50:39.920
same thing. So this is how you dumbify everything. And I call it dumbifying it, whatever, call it
00:50:43.580
whatever you want, simplifying, whatever. But same thing with national security. This is like where
00:50:47.480
me getting involved in politics. I literally believe that if you can't describe it or paint
00:50:51.560
it out on a whiteboard, it shouldn't be possible. So people ask you, what's your national security?
00:50:56.460
You know, what should we do about national security about? We talked about this, some refugees
00:50:59.060
and the whole thing. You literally get on a whiteboard, right? You draw out a map of America,
00:51:04.780
literally take, take, take a, take a Sharpie, a marker, and just draw out the outline of America,
00:51:09.060
national security, our foreign policy. You put a bunch of arrows pointing to America and say,
00:51:13.400
this is what I am concerned about. This is what I am here to protect. This is what I am here
00:51:17.760
to serve. As soon as everybody inside of this, this outline, which is the outline of America
00:51:21.940
is fed, employed, working, and our economy is actually balanced. We will then take the,
00:51:27.760
the, the distribution, the dividend, if you will, and invest in other places and do other
00:51:32.520
things. Our goal is to protect Americans. And yet we're sending troops and missiles and
00:51:37.500
tanks and shit. I mean, dude, ISIS right now was rolling around two, what is it? 2,000 tanks
00:51:41.820
that they got from a base in Iraq that they freaking came, that we fucking left there.
00:51:46.440
We left them there. How smart, tell me the common sense. Tell me how that made common sense to
00:51:51.500
anybody inside of Washington. Hey man, I want a tank. Leave one of those motherfuckers in my yard.
00:51:56.440
Yeah, I want one. Give me one. You know what I'm saying? You know, and this is where like
00:52:00.260
the polarization of the conversation comes up and this is where you lose people. When you say radical
00:52:05.080
thought, radical action, radical this, dude, when people hear that, they automatically assume
00:52:10.720
that it's got to, we're going to all have to get our fucking shit and get guns and go fucking
00:52:14.880
start. No, that's not what you need to do. Right. This is a, so we're talking about social
00:52:18.860
revolution. We're talking about speaking up for what you think is right, educating yourself
00:52:23.740
on what you think is right and moving forward. Those ideas versus just swallowing the pills
00:52:28.860
that these people give you. Right. You know, we're not talking about crazy shit, you know,
00:52:32.720
like, Hey, let's get a fucking tank and go. No, we're talking about, that would be kind of
00:52:36.380
fun though. I mean, yeah. I mean like, dude, I'm all for riding the tank, blow some shit up, but
00:52:40.420
like, that's not what we're talking about. I mean, does shit sometimes come to that in
00:52:44.500
the history of earth? Absolutely. But we're trying to avoid that by getting you guys to
00:52:48.200
understand like, Hey, just because you have a viewpoint on something doesn't mean you can't
00:52:55.360
say it or believe in it. And like, dude, my, my thought, you know, process on this whole
00:53:00.760
conversation is that I just want people to feel more comfortable speaking what they believe,
00:53:05.500
you know, what they stand up for, what they think is right. Even if it's not what you and I
00:53:09.300
agree with, cause I mean, I'm sure there's things we don't agree on. Sure. You know,
00:53:12.380
but at least be able to have a conversation without it being this fucking thing where it's
00:53:17.120
like, Oh, you're a religious fucking you persecutor. Yeah. Yeah. You're, you're a
00:53:21.840
fucking racist. You're this, you're that dude. You know, how about we start looking at things
00:53:26.720
for how they fucking are. Okay. Let's look at the fucking facts of things and let's like
00:53:32.080
realize that. All right. You know, you're black, I'm white. It's fucking ebony and ivory.
00:53:39.900
We got to go together like perfect harmony. You know, let's fucking realize that we're
00:53:44.600
on the same fucking team and move forward together as opposed to just always trying to make it
00:53:50.420
this issue of like, you know, and I'm not just saying the race thing, but whatever it
00:53:54.280
is, you know, like, Oh, you're offending me with your fucking beard because I don't like
00:53:58.520
beards. Well, that's, that's the thing though is you, you know that this will never, that'll
00:54:01.640
never happen. There will always be division. There will always be that way. Exactly. Right.
00:54:07.920
And at the end of the day, like I can sit down James and fucking Al Sharpton, they profit off
00:54:12.800
of fucking people. Jackson. Yeah. Right. Yeah. That's what I said. Jesse James is a cool
00:54:18.240
dude. He rides motorcycles. Yeah. He's bad-ass, but like he should be a president. He's seen
00:54:22.240
his 1911s. He's making dude. They're sick. So dope. Yeah. So my good buddy, you know,
00:54:26.140
Austin Weiss, Austin Weiss is a good buddy of mine. He's best friends with Jesse James,
00:54:29.960
but they're, they're, I'm trying to get one of those 19, I need one off the topic. I need
00:54:33.440
one anyway, like, you know, Jesse send us some guns, bro. Yeah, dude. That's what I'm
00:54:39.220
saying. We'll rep, we'll rep them. Yeah. I bet he, dude, he's for the common sense part.
00:54:43.480
That's the thing, man, is, is you will never, you're never going to eliminate. And this is
00:54:47.480
where let's take this thing full fucking circle. Let's take this thing full circle back to the
00:54:51.380
original conversation about the children and the kids and the playground and getting your
00:54:55.140
ass whooped and this and that and the other, like taking the entire thing full circle all
00:54:58.640
the way back to where we are right now, which is no one is ever going to be happy. No one
00:55:02.920
is ever, there will always be somebody that's on the quote unquote losing end of the stick.
00:55:07.320
A deer will always have to go down in order for me to put food on my table. You will always
00:55:11.820
have to have in a, in a two match game, you will always have a winner and a loser. We should
00:55:15.580
just flat out scored more points than you. That's cool. We're losing team. Go figure out
00:55:20.340
how to become better to win. It's the same thing here, America. If you want to create
00:55:24.500
the change, get your ass off the couch, stop listening to the rubbish and the bullshit that
00:55:29.260
you've been fed and taking the pills that you've been given for the last 50 years and
00:55:33.180
realize that it's possible to do, but you cannot sit around and wait for someone else
00:55:38.640
to do it. You're going to have to get involved with the quote revolution, right? Because what
00:55:43.020
we're doing right now, the conversation we're having is crazy. It's out there. It's like,
00:55:45.920
Oh dude, that's insane. Whatever, whatever. This is how it should be. It's not. That's the
00:55:50.240
thing. This, what if this is the normal conversation? What if this is the norm? What if this is how
00:55:55.100
it should be? And yet everything else is freaking insanity. See, I don't, I can't comprehend
00:56:00.140
thinking another way. Yeah, me either. You know what I mean? Like I'm, I'm sitting here
00:56:02.940
having this conversation and my, my thing isn't like, we're being weird. It's like, what
00:56:07.100
the fuck is wrong with everybody else? He wants to explain and slam down a frigging 13,000
00:56:12.680
page tax code. And you're like, bro, you're confusing me. Why don't we just talk about seven and a
00:56:16.800
half percent unless you, unless you can explain it to me in one page or less. Cause my plan
00:56:21.340
is seven and a half percent and it's really freaking simple. Like explain to me how this
00:56:24.900
13,000 pages make sense. It doesn't make sense. It's all geared to fucking guide the people
00:56:29.520
who are paying the lobbyists through the tax code. I'm telling you fucking taxes. I'm telling
00:56:34.960
you the revolution is coming, man. Somebody, somebody is going to figure out how to take this
00:56:39.720
device right here that you and I, you know, promote our businesses, live our lives. Someone
00:56:44.220
is going to take these devices, which is how the entire world is getting their news,
00:56:48.940
their information, communicating with mom and grandma, posting all their pictures of
00:56:52.160
their new frigging puppy on Facebook or whatever. This is the revolution. This is what's going
00:56:56.160
to happen is someone will orate the message that you and I are talking about, put it out
00:57:00.060
there in a, in a reasonable, practical way. And people are going to be like, that actually
00:57:03.740
makes sense. Well, they should. Yeah. They're going to be like, why isn't it that way? So,
00:57:07.480
so, so when the guy who comes in with the 13,000 page tax code, he's going to be
00:57:11.020
now, like no one's been able to do this yet. Like this is the cool part. This is the stuff
00:57:14.180
that gets me excited. This is the sexy shit about politics is now all of a sudden the
00:57:17.660
guy trying to explain the 13,000 page tax code is like, the fuck did he just say? Like
00:57:22.140
this sounds really, really simple. This will work. Right. Why are you explaining? So, so
00:57:26.140
to explain to me foreign policy, there's an outline of America. Like I live in America.
00:57:30.540
I want to protect America and keep America safe and fed and, and, and whatever, whatever.
00:57:34.720
Explain to me why we need to spend X amount of billions of dollars every year overseas
00:57:39.000
when this outline right here is not taken care of. Like that's common sense shit, dude.
00:57:44.160
Think about this though. This is really cool to think about because the reason this hasn't
00:57:48.740
happened before is the same reason that businesses used to be able to produce any product they
00:57:56.580
wanted. It didn't matter if it was good or not and spend millions of dollars advertising
00:58:00.060
it and the product would sell. Okay. The reason the politics has gotten the way that it's
00:58:04.580
gotten is because there is, there has been no voice for us. Right. You know, they've
00:58:10.520
owned the media. Right. Okay. They could go to five people in America and say, we want
00:58:15.580
you to put this message out and we'll give you these special benefits. And that's what
00:58:19.020
they fucking do. And they make you the normal common sense speaker look like a freaking
00:58:22.800
moron. They spin you in the media and then all of a sudden you're tanked and you're done.
00:58:25.620
Right. And they can't do that anymore because now we all have a voice. And so what they could
00:58:30.060
try to do that, but the reality is it just stirs up the hornet's nest. Right. You know,
00:58:35.060
it's so just like big companies can't put out a product, you know, they can't put out
00:58:40.360
a pair of sunglasses that the first time you wear them, they break because guess what?
00:58:43.900
It'll be all over the fucking internet tomorrow. Right. Like, Hey, don't buy these sunglasses
00:58:47.020
because they're shit. They're not going to be able to keep pushing that agenda because
00:58:50.880
we all have a voice now. But I think the, what I'm trying to bring is a realization of
00:58:57.300
that voice. Like, Hey guys, you listening right now, you have a voice. You know what
00:59:02.800
I mean? And just because they tell you have to pick Democrat or Republican, that's going
00:59:07.520
to change. And the earlier that you get involved in creating a better, you know, situation now,
00:59:15.680
Well, doing what you and I are doing, I feel like it's, it's the grassroots, what real true
00:59:19.360
grassroots is. And, and it's speaking things and or rating them clearly, you know, efficiently,
00:59:24.280
effectively and that we've been all over the board, obviously talking here, but the reality
00:59:28.160
is dinner talk, man. Yeah, man. Dinner conversation. And this is the shit that actually people care
00:59:32.060
about. This is the stuff that people like, it actually affects their lives and yet no
00:59:36.220
one has been able to orate it, you know, simply. But I think what you and I are doing and being
00:59:40.980
as exposing as we are and, and sharing as authentically and passionately what I'm seeing
00:59:46.300
in the marketplace and what I'm seeing just, just through social media and everything else
00:59:49.280
is people are, there's more and more people that are speaking up saying, hell yeah, dude,
00:59:53.000
that makes freaking sense. I like that. And at the end of the day, it's going to take
00:59:56.060
leaders. It's going to take people that are willing to go out and lead the freaking troops.
01:00:00.240
But at the end of the day, like I want people to realize that they're not an island.
01:00:04.160
No. And the conversation you and I are having right now, there's a lot of people, it's the
01:00:07.380
bobblehead theory. People are like shaking their head like, yeah, yeah, yeah. That makes
01:00:10.360
sense. And at the end of the day, once the freaking people that are nodding their head
01:00:13.420
saying, amen, now have a plat, a path and a plan and someone to follow and something
01:00:18.860
that actually makes sense. Dude, that's when shit's going to start changing. Dude. And the other thing
01:00:22.920
is, is people have to start understanding that they have to let go of their fucking
01:00:28.960
passionate, the R or the D, like, and you identify yourself that way as a Republican
01:00:34.700
or Democrat. And, you know, your, your passion for that, you know, causes you to not like
01:00:42.800
allow for true conversation. Like if I've got somebody, you know, cause I always get into
01:00:48.300
with typically Democrat people because they're so passionate and I say something and then
01:00:54.020
they come back and they say, Wendy, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, bro,
01:00:57.820
I'm not trying to attack you. You know, I'm just trying to pose a realistic solution. And
01:01:02.180
I think us as Americans would realize that we're not the enemy of each other. Right. That we're
01:01:08.420
just being tricked into thinking that way. And to have a realistic conversation about, you
01:01:14.620
know, what we really need to do for the betterment of the next 100 or 200 or 300 years in America,
01:01:20.400
this is a crucial time. It just is, man. We're seeing things that we've never seen before.
01:01:26.320
The, you know, the government is pushing the limits of what I believe is moral and reality.
01:01:34.380
Um, and we're losing a lot of things in our, in our, in our country. And you know, do we have the
01:01:40.660
next generation of kids who are from the ages of 12 to 18 years old right now that understand
01:01:46.560
what it would take to go win a fucking war against another country? Because here's the reality guys
01:01:51.840
of other country, you know, some, some other country, I'm not going to name any names, but if
01:01:56.420
they want to come bomb the United States, they're not bombing fucking white neighborhoods or black
01:02:01.380
neighborhoods only, or Chinese neighborhoods only. Guess what? They're bombing. They're
01:02:04.220
bombing fucking America. So instead of fucking fighting ourselves and being like, Hey, you
01:02:08.520
motherfuckers, you don't like me cause I'm poor. You don't like me cause I'm rich. You don't like
01:02:12.020
me cause I'm black or this or that or whatever. How about we realize that like all that shit is
01:02:16.660
really irrelevant. And what we need to think about is the next 20 year old kids from 20 to fucking
01:02:22.640
15 or 12 years old, or have we raised them to go out and protect the country?
01:02:27.980
Have we, I don't, I don't know that we have, I think we're getting into a scary time, man.
01:02:34.120
And I, this isn't taking nothing away from the young kids. Cause I know there's always going
01:02:37.700
to be younger kids with massive fucking heart and massive American pride that want to go
01:02:43.000
out and, and, and do what needs to be done. But here's the thing, man. And I agree with you.
01:02:49.720
We don't need to be everywhere else. We need to worry about here. Yep. You know what I mean?
01:02:53.880
And fuck man, it's not that complicated. It's really not. That's why I like when the,
01:02:59.260
when the people criticize, you know, I get criticism for saying that we shouldn't take
01:03:03.140
these Syrians dude. Why is that our responsibility? You know what I mean? We have fucking how many
01:03:08.740
people here that we need to take care of? I mean, it's just like the map you said,
01:03:12.080
all the arrows pointing in. Yep. Let's solve our problems so then we can solve their problems.
01:03:15.980
I really do feel for the other countries, but you know how the other countries got the way
01:03:20.020
that they are the same way we're getting the way that we are by not saying shit, not speaking up,
01:03:25.440
not, not being afraid, you know, and that's bad news for us, man. You guys who were listening to
01:03:30.980
this, I mean, the fact that you're even listening to this podcast, you know, shows that you think a
01:03:35.920
different way than most people, but you know, we're in fucking trouble. I believe that, you know,
01:03:42.620
and I believe that for the next 20 years, if we don't get shit turned around and we can start it by
01:03:47.700
keeping score fucking soccer games again, which is the funniest thing about it. You know what I
01:03:51.960
mean? It's very simple shit. Yep. I think personal responsibility and you, you touched on it, Sean
01:04:00.160
parenthood. I mean, it's all connected, all of it. I don't know, man. I don't have all the answers in,
01:04:08.040
but I mean, I know that we've got a fucked up deal right now. You don't have to have all the answers.
01:04:12.980
You just got to actually create some, some movement in a different direction, man. That's
01:04:17.240
it. That's where it starts is creating some sort of different movement in a different direction.
01:04:20.580
That's, that's not the same. Dude, I think most people are just happy with like their life.
01:04:24.640
They're like, cause they've been washed. They've been brought up to be a cog, you know,
01:04:28.660
and they're like, fuck it, man. I'm making my, you know, my decent living. I got a house,
01:04:32.400
I got a car, you know, they're a mortgage up to their eyeballs with all their shit and they're
01:04:37.260
under the illusion they have all the shit when in reality don't have anything. Right. You know what I
01:04:40.420
mean? They're worth their whole lives to have nothing, you know, die with nothing, be poor
01:04:44.840
and, and, and it wasn't always that way, man. Yep. You know, and then not only that on top of
01:04:50.040
it, you've got the media villainizing success as if it's fucking evil. You know, I've always
01:04:56.660
believed it's my obligation, you know, to do the best that I can. When, isn't that the way
01:05:02.040
we're supposed to do shit? Yeah. Like you're supposed to be the best that you could be. I don't
01:05:08.000
know. The art, it's good enough for the army, right? It's how it should be. Yeah. It's how
01:05:10.560
it should be. I don't know. Guys, check out the website, the MFCEO.com. Uh, not exactly
