00:01:55.000Yeah, so I grew up raised by a single mother.
00:01:59.000My dad died when I was 10 in Lake Charles, Louisiana, a refinery town.
00:02:04.000So your choices there were you were going to be in a refinery or you're going to probably work for some small company that was doing accounting work for a refinery.
00:02:12.000I didn't really fit either one of those.
00:02:14.000Or you were going to be a fisherman out of Cameron, whatever.
00:02:17.000So my dad died at 10, and my life, like, I was kept waiting, Charlie, for a male figure to show up.
00:02:23.000It's one of the things I'm most passionate about: when the father goes away in the family, things tend to go metrically negative.
00:02:54.000And been building business, been building companies ever since, rebuilding myself, my self-esteem, my finances, and trying to give back and help other people along the way.
00:03:06.000And now you have an incredibly impressive portfolio, upwards of $4 billion.
00:03:30.000And then I started studying real estate, how to buy it and scale so that if one person moved out or two people moved out, I wasn't being the manager.
00:05:16.000Drugs, alcohol, doodle time, skipping school, stealing, driving too fast, lying, perpetual lying, putting stuff off, not doing it, realizing nobody was going to actually hold me accountable.
00:05:32.000It didn't matter whether I got a B or C, nothing changed.
00:05:35.000So, and then I spent five years in school, so I got the debt to go with it.
00:05:39.000I wouldn't recommend no one ever spend 12 years in high school, much less another four or five in college.
00:05:45.000And so you started getting into the real estate game.
00:08:03.000If they won't show you, you shouldn't listen to them.
00:08:05.000So every property, the beautiful thing about real estate, as you know, Charlie, is it's all recorded data, right?
00:08:10.000Like, I can't really tell you how many books I've sold.
00:08:13.000I don't know because nobody kept a record of the number of books I sold.
00:08:16.000Or I don't have a record to show you how many people paid to come to an event or listen to me online, but I know the address. of the Goldman deal that I bought from Goldman Sachs and put my name on.
00:12:11.00040% of all the loans on American homes today are under 3% interest.
00:12:16.000There's no, there's on a 30-year mortgage.
00:12:18.000Now, on the other side of that is all these large apartment complexes, retail, you know, strip centers, office buildings where the debt is now sitting at 8%, 9, 10, 11, 12%.
00:12:35.000And the way these guys structure their deals, they go to buy a building and they get debt, as you know, on part of the building, and then they borrow equity from a pension fund.
00:13:14.000Oh, so you think that the work-from-home thing is just the work-from-home thing is one of the biggest disasters in the history of the world.
00:14:22.000But if people are out saving money or looking for a 5.5% return on a treasury bill or trying to, you know, pay their house off, you're not going to see these opportunities because you're not looking for them.
00:14:34.000People need to look at these big complexes that people have spent.
00:14:38.000Like, why would I not build what you asked me right now?
00:15:53.000I'm like, oh, dude, I've produced enough that, you know, when I have an accounting background, so I actually know how to read an accounting statement in an IRS form.
00:16:01.000And I'm like, oh, I got a tax issue in October.
00:16:04.000And so I need to pay attention to this.
00:17:46.000So just so everyone knows what's going on, is that President Trump put forward a measure that if you had a piece of equipment that was heavy machinery over what pound?
00:18:03.000Included jets, included RVs, included RVs, all the trucks, Range Rovers.
00:18:07.000If you used it for a business purpose, so if you bought it in the end of December, then the next fiscal year, you could even use it personally or whatever.
00:18:17.000Yeah, 100% of the, let's say, $65 million was written off in the year I purchased it, even though I'd only flown it once and I would keep it forever.
00:18:25.000I mean, it's one of the greatest loopholes in the world.
00:18:28.000The following year, we had another tax problem.
00:18:33.000I'm growing, but all I got to do is read, just read and be committed.
00:18:37.000And so we bought two Augusta 139s from, what, Pfizer?
00:18:44.000Yeah, they were selling a lot of products.
00:18:46.000Yeah, because they owned three of them, and they were getting three more, doing the same thing I was doing, just doing it at a bigger scale.
00:18:55.000For those that don't know, Augusta is a helicopter.
00:19:15.000By the end of the year, I want to have more assets than cash, assets that I can write off, assets that provide me a cash flow, assets that are a business that I don't have to work in.
00:19:24.000Real estate just happens to be the best device in the world short of me going to start my own business because there's nothing better than your own business.
00:19:35.000So that's the other thing is you'll deploy capital into businesses where you get deductions because of payroll and because of the payroll doesn't help me enough, you know, at that point, right?
00:20:11.000And can I just say it's very important for the audience to start paying attention to this because your biggest expense is not your mortgage or the gas bill, the electric bill, the water bill, the utilities.
00:21:39.000Like I bombed one year million dollars worth of marketing in December and assumed that problem that, or resolved that problem that year, even though the marketing might last longer than that.
00:21:52.000Yeah, you could phase it out and you could have, I mean, you could space it out and all that.
00:25:06.000I mean, these are the biggest, these are trillion-dollar companies that invest in these products.
00:25:10.000So rather than them buying it, these wealthy institutions, mostly, yeah, wealthy institutions and country club money, I buy it, everyday guy.
00:25:20.000And I do it amongst regular, everyday people.
00:25:23.000I will not take money from the banks or the institutions.
00:25:27.000Now, they've never offered me enough to tend to it.
00:25:29.000Now, just so I'm clear, you said you have $2.2 billion in debt.
00:25:33.000Is that issued from banks or is that...
00:25:34.000Oh, yeah, that's long-term bank money, though.
00:30:16.000It's like, okay, that generation of people.
00:30:19.000Like, if you think you need to do one thing to get something accomplished, multiply it times 10.
00:30:25.000And that's really what it's going to take.
00:30:26.000If you think $10 is going to make you happy, multiply it times 10.
00:30:29.000If you think a million is going to make you happy, multiply it times 10.
00:30:32.000If you think 10 friends or 10 employees or 10 trips are going to get it done, multiply it times 10 and you're going to be closer to the truth.
00:32:54.000And I expect him, by the way, to be self-serving to some degree.
00:32:58.000I am self-serving, but I don't hurt anybody around me.
00:33:02.000And I like that about me, that I'm self-serving, trying to help myself and my family, but I do it in a way where other people benefit as well.
00:33:09.000And I think that's what Donald Trump does.
00:33:11.000We asked our audience to send in some questions because we mentioned you were coming on.
00:33:14.000Somebody's wanted, they wonder about your daily routine.
00:33:42.000And as soon as I get to work in the morning, first thing I look at, a piece of paper like this comes to me with my accounts, every one of my accounts, where they're at.
00:34:57.000While I can't, you know, talk about exactly about the lawsuit itself.
00:35:02.000You know, I just got put in a situation with this gentleman where I had no alternative but to say, hey, look, dude, I've told you once, I told you twice, you're the ex-CEO of T-Mobile.
00:35:15.000I can read the story if you'd like me to.
00:36:22.000This is done every day to everyday people with a podcaster that wants to build their YouTube channel and they use your name or my name or someone's name, add some terrible clickbaity, attention-grabbing fraud, stole the hundred million.
00:36:40.000Like, none of this has research or due diligence, no package to back it.
00:36:44.000There's nobody done any homework, and they say it and they pretend to hide underneath you're a public figure, and I have my First Amendment rights.
00:36:53.000Okay, well, you don't have the right to defame or slander.
00:37:07.000So, this is also to send a message to him and to others that have tried to benefit, raise money off my name, or build an audience off my name, and then get sponsorship off my name.
00:37:20.000I'm hoping I can do something good to put that to rest.
00:37:24.000Well, I thank you for standing up against people that spread lies.
