00:06:29.460 Absolutely.

00:06:29.840 And Kick and all that, man.

00:06:30.660 This is an important broadcast.

00:06:31.680 We're going to put it out there.

00:06:32.500 And then, obviously, we're going to have after hours after.

00:06:34.040 Yep.

00:06:34.160 Too big to rig.

00:06:36.220 Yeah.

00:06:36.700 You know, definitely too big to rig.

00:06:38.040 Welcome back to Mommy, man.

00:06:39.240 Yeah, what's up, bro?

00:06:40.000 Thank you.

00:06:40.540 Thank you for having me.

00:06:40.760 We know who you are, but they might not.

00:06:42.560 Can you introduce yourself to the people?

00:06:43.640 Absolutely.

00:06:44.180 My name is DeVore Darkins.

00:06:45.880 I think literally the only one in the world.

00:06:47.960 Nobody else has my name, and that's not to, you know, be crazy, but yeah.

00:06:53.920 So I'm originally from California.

00:06:56.060 My wife and I, we moved to Texas, and I'm in the political space to do commentary, common sense-based.

00:07:02.560 Common sense.

00:07:03.260 Exactly.

00:07:04.080 I like that.

00:07:04.640 I like seeing what both sides have to say.

00:07:06.800 I love free speech.

00:07:07.980 I don't believe if we have that, we don't have anything, you know?

00:07:11.360 So we got to be able to hear all ideas, critically think for ourselves.

00:07:15.740 I'm big on financial literacy and mindset.

00:07:18.340 And I want to give you a huge thank you, because when I came on your show, you were

00:07:23.120 very open to me expressing my ideas and worldview and on politics and everything else like that.

00:07:28.340 And though we might not agree with everything, the fact that, like, you know, you allow me

00:07:31.180 to speak that way, especially since so many people in the conservative market are, like,

00:07:34.940 terrified when certain topics are brought up.

00:07:36.860 So, no, man, I appreciate that greatly.

00:07:39.000 Yeah, no, I'm grateful at the opportunity to really speak to anybody, because I think we

00:07:45.120 got to keep these conversations going.

00:07:46.840 We got to keep our foot on the pedal as far as information is concerned, because if we

00:07:52.120 stop talking, that gives the opponent the ability to control the information.

00:07:57.000 So we have to keep talking.

00:07:58.940 We have to keep debating and hearing both sides.

00:08:02.040 So I appreciate that you did come out to Texas.

00:08:04.380 My wife loved it.

00:08:05.960 She says hi.

00:08:06.800 Obviously, she's texting me right now.

00:08:08.520 Shout out to her.

00:08:08.540 Very based.

00:08:08.980 Very based.

00:08:10.520 Yeah.

00:08:10.980 So I'm grateful.

00:08:12.640 Thank you.

00:08:13.000 How'd you get started, man?

00:08:14.180 Lifestyle-wise, growing up, family-wise?

00:08:16.280 Yeah, your Batman origin story.

00:08:17.760 Yeah.

00:08:17.980 My Batman origin story starts off with two parents who were drug addicts.

00:08:23.040 Yeah.

00:08:23.780 Had to be adopted by a single parent.

00:08:26.720 Okay.

00:08:27.080 But she was old school, so she was my grandmother's generation.

00:08:30.300 So she didn't play.

00:08:31.840 There was no, like, excuses explaining anything.

00:08:34.240 It's like, you're going to do this, or I'm going to slap the black off you.

00:08:36.860 You know what I mean?

00:08:37.740 And anyways, that's how I was raised.

00:08:40.400 And then in high school, she got breast cancer.

00:08:42.780 I had to come live in Houston, Texas for a few years.

00:08:45.540 I was in JROTC at that time.

00:08:47.760 And then I came back.

00:08:49.160 She passed away my junior year.

00:08:50.900 Then I went to go live with my friend.

00:08:52.640 And from that point on, I was on my own.

00:08:54.360 And I joined the military when I was 17 in the Army.

00:08:57.600 How old were you when she passed away?

00:08:59.500 17.

00:09:00.320 Oh, okay.

00:09:00.700 Yeah.

00:09:01.040 Yeah, 17.

00:09:01.660 So shortly thereafter, you joined the military?

00:09:04.100 After she passed away?

00:09:04.800 No, she was still alive when I joined.

00:09:06.760 She refused to let me go into the Marines.

00:09:09.540 She was, I mean, she was the B word to the recruiter.

00:09:14.260 But the Army guy came around, and she was really nice to him.

00:09:16.700 Okay.

00:09:17.600 So what year is this now when you joined the military?

00:09:21.900 2005.

00:09:22.740 Oh, wow.

00:09:23.500 Yeah.

00:09:23.820 Right in the middle of Iraqi.

00:09:24.800 So I saw the Twin Towers in elementary school in sixth grade.

00:09:28.380 Yep.

00:09:28.740 Yeah.

00:09:29.160 Yep.

00:09:29.440 Yeah.

00:09:30.520 Actually, you know what?

00:09:31.260 We could go through that.

00:09:31.860 Where were you when 9-11 happened?

00:09:33.380 In Houston.

00:09:34.160 In Houston.

00:09:34.660 Okay.

00:09:34.980 Missouri City, to be exact.

00:09:36.400 Yeah.

00:09:36.960 Because you're 37.

00:09:38.520 So you're two years older than me.

00:09:39.580 So yeah, I remember that day.

00:09:41.540 So you were sitting in a classroom, and you got the news?

00:09:43.700 It's exactly what you would see in these videos where they had the little TV

00:09:46.420 in the corner that, you know, the big, big TV, you know, it's all old quality.

00:09:50.180 Yeah.

00:09:50.600 It was crazy.

00:09:51.540 And everybody was just stunned.

00:09:53.720 Wow.

00:09:54.080 Did that motivate you to serve?

00:09:56.440 Is that why you joined the military so young?

00:09:58.900 You know, I'm not too sure that was the main reason.

00:10:02.380 I think my mother was the main reason.

00:10:04.200 She was very strict.

00:10:06.020 You know, she never made anything about race.

00:10:08.120 It was all about pick your pants up.

00:10:10.300 If you even, you know, look a certain way, you respond a certain way.

00:10:14.320 She was on me.

00:10:14.940 You know, and-

00:10:17.200 Was she black herself too?

00:10:18.280 Yes.

00:10:18.500 Your adopted mom?

00:10:19.120 Okay.

00:10:19.300 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:10:19.720 And your biological parents, did you ever get to meet them or no?

00:10:23.640 My mom, I did.

00:10:25.620 And, you know, it's unfortunate because she could never give me the answers I was really

00:10:30.220 looking for.

00:10:30.760 So I had to make peace with that.

00:10:32.340 How old were you when you met her?

00:10:34.120 That had to be, the first time I met her, she was in the hospital because she was into drugs.

00:10:41.060 And I think I was probably eight years old.

00:10:44.260 Oh, wow.

00:10:44.640 So my adopted mother, she was really nice.

00:10:46.520 I mean, she, you could tell she really loved me because she tried to, you know, get me to

00:10:51.200 see her.

00:10:51.880 And she also tried to adopt my brother, but it was, it didn't happen, unfortunately.

00:10:58.180 And it's five of us, all different fathers.

00:11:00.580 One of us is gone already.

00:11:01.760 My sister, she passed away during COVID.

00:11:04.340 But, no, I met her and then my father only met over the phone one time.

00:11:10.200 Okay.

00:11:10.940 Yeah.

00:11:11.540 So.

00:11:11.940 That was unsuccessful.

00:11:13.040 And you've only, and you only met your mom one time.

00:11:15.400 You never saw her ever again after.

00:11:16.640 No, I did.

00:11:17.140 I saw her two more times.

00:11:19.420 Another time that was because all of the siblings, I guess we met up and we wanted to see her.

00:11:24.980 And then the second time was when it was like a couple of weeks before she died from an

00:11:28.940 aneurysm.

00:11:29.840 Oh, your mom passed away.

00:11:30.960 Yeah.

00:11:31.220 My biological one.

00:11:32.120 Yeah.

00:11:32.280 Because she had, it's funny because you think when someone does like hard drugs, that's going

00:11:37.740 to kill them, it's always something else, you know, it was an aneurysm.

00:11:41.660 If you're going to be asking, what drugs was she doing?

00:11:44.420 Oh, crack.

00:11:46.260 Yeah.

00:11:46.820 I think that was the main one.

00:11:48.100 And she was, she was drinking a lot.

00:11:50.640 You know, I'll give you examples.

00:11:51.960 So the time that I did talk to her, her number one question every time was, can I get some

00:11:56.280 money so I can go down to the 7-Eleven?

00:11:58.100 You guys know what that is.

00:11:59.640 Yeah.

00:11:59.960 And she had a big, big gulp.

00:12:01.700 Yeah.

00:12:02.020 Yeah.

00:12:02.540 So that was, that was that.

00:12:05.600 So yeah, that's how it was.

00:12:07.260 You know, I think people like that serve a purpose about what not to do, you know?

00:12:13.660 And so when you get into drugs and you're hanging around the wrong people, this is what could

00:12:18.520 happen.

00:12:19.100 Yeah.

00:12:19.500 And then what happens is when you have kids that, you know, it affects them too.

00:12:25.040 Yeah.

00:12:25.240 And, you know, so I think for my situation, my story, I think the reason why God has allowed

00:12:31.380 me to flourish up to this point is so I can go out there and let people know that you can

00:12:36.500 overcome, you know, anything.

00:12:38.720 It doesn't matter where you start.

00:12:40.440 It's about how you're going to finish moving forward.

00:12:43.560 You're, you know, you're a pretty healthy guy.

00:12:45.420 You eat in a certain way and you watch what you eat and you eat.

00:12:48.740 I don't know if you want to tell the people you're on a certain type of diet.

00:12:51.220 I eat plant-based guys.

00:12:52.680 He's a plant-based.

00:12:53.460 Okay, fair.

00:12:53.800 So yeah, he's a plant-based, like did, was that influenced by watching your mother kind

00:13:00.020 of struggle with drug abuse that where you're like, Hey, I'm never going to be like that

00:13:02.980 and I'm going to do the opposite.

00:13:04.780 So it was a couple of things.

00:13:06.240 One, I read a book on ADHD and there was one chapter all about food and how food causes

00:13:13.360 people to have ADD or ADHD.

00:13:15.260 However you, you know, there's so many labels today.

00:13:17.020 Um, and when I stopped eating so much processed foods, uh, I didn't have a problem with focusing.

00:13:26.480 Now I'll also say a part of it also was because I live a purpose driven life now.

00:13:32.240 Yeah.

00:13:32.680 I think that also helps a man focus.

00:13:34.240 If you're not on purpose, you're going to be all over the place.

00:13:36.380 There's no question.

00:13:37.160 You're going to be easily distracted by anything.

00:13:39.500 So when you're really focused, that hyper focus, right?

00:13:43.060 Like you guys are focused.

00:13:44.120 You show up every day, you do the same thing over and over.

00:13:46.400 That takes focus, you know?

00:13:47.920 So I think food had a lot to do with it.

00:13:49.720 And then, um, um, my family, high blood pressure, diabetes, the whole thing, you know, you know

00:13:56.500 how African-Americans are.

00:13:57.480 Yeah.

00:13:57.980 Yeah.

00:13:58.200 So I didn't, I didn't, hypertension and my mother, she was the type of person.

00:14:05.680 This guy's fresh.

00:14:06.740 Come on, man.

00:14:07.580 Come on, man.

00:14:08.100 This guy's immature.

00:14:09.440 Grow up.

00:14:10.660 Grow up.

00:14:11.240 I love it.

00:14:15.800 I love it.

00:14:16.900 Sorry.

00:14:17.180 Go ahead.

00:14:17.420 No, no, it's good.

00:14:18.420 You have to laugh.

00:14:20.080 Um, I'm pretty serious guys.

00:14:21.960 So I love it.

00:14:23.540 My wife, she balances me out.

00:14:25.700 You know this cause you were around us, right?

00:14:27.120 And, uh, anyways, um, no, my, my family, they had all that stuff, but I think the other

00:14:33.140 reason is because I want to live, or I want to do my part to live a long life.

00:14:37.460 Okay.

00:14:37.760 You never know when your last day is here.

00:14:39.080 So I wanted to minimize that.

00:14:41.820 Uh, and my energy levels are different when I eat that way too.

00:14:44.860 Yeah.

00:14:45.320 Yeah.

00:14:45.680 Do you feel lighter?

00:14:46.340 Do you feel happier?

00:14:47.060 Do you feel like, cause I'm not gonna lie eating meat here.

00:14:50.580 I feel heavy bogged down.

00:14:52.300 And even though it's like grilled chicken or whatever, I still feel like bloated.

00:14:55.840 Yeah.

00:14:56.020 So here's the thing.

00:14:58.280 If you're a person who only eats meat, cause there are people who have that diet, or you're

00:15:02.900 a person who eats only plant-based, meaning whole food, vegetables, you know, lentils,

00:15:07.740 things like that.

00:15:09.020 Um, two things are going to happen obviously for a while, which is your energies are going

00:15:13.520 to go up because you're not feeding yourself processed foods.

00:15:17.500 That's the key.

00:15:18.540 The killer is not necessarily meat because our grandparents ate meat, right?

00:15:23.420 The killer is processed foods, the mass manufacturing of foods.

00:15:27.720 Now, you know how you feel about Israel, right?

00:15:30.740 Yeah.

00:15:31.080 And how we feel about the federal government and how we don't trust them.

00:15:34.320 So imagine what they've done with our food system.

00:15:37.040 Yeah.

00:15:37.460 I see what I'm saying.

00:15:38.500 So that's why it's no secret.

00:15:40.320 If you leave right now and go to Italy, eat the same food, you're going to lose a couple

00:15:44.520 pounds.

00:15:45.000 Yeah.

00:15:45.080 Yeah.

00:15:45.300 I was in France.

00:15:46.000 I felt amazing.

00:15:46.540 There you go.

00:15:47.240 And everyone that goes to Europe says, I lost weight and I ate the same thing.

00:15:50.880 Yeah.

00:15:51.160 Mama mia.

00:15:52.560 Yeah.

00:15:52.920 So I think that's a great case to show you why you got to do what you can to, this is

00:15:59.380 a vessel.

00:15:59.900 You have to take care of this vessel, you know?

00:16:02.220 And I think food is just one component.

00:16:04.180 Yeah.

00:16:04.600 Yeah.

00:16:05.900 So you joined the military, right?

00:16:08.540 Obviously very tough upbringing, single mom.

00:16:11.600 You didn't know your parents really didn't get to be with them.

00:16:14.600 Yeah.

00:16:15.020 You joined at 17.

00:16:16.640 Take us through that because I know you had went to the Middle East and you spent quite

00:16:19.580 a bit of time over there.

00:16:20.400 Yeah, I did.

00:16:20.760 So yeah, I joined when I was 17.

00:16:24.740 My senior year, I checked out, I was pretty much down and out because she had passed away.

00:16:29.900 And it's not a sob story, but it's just the reality of life.

00:16:32.600 And then I went to my unit after I graduated and then I deployed when I was 21 to Afghanistan.

00:16:40.960 Okay.

00:16:41.260 So you were in for four years before you got deployed.

00:16:42.680 Yeah.

00:16:43.080 Okay.

00:16:43.800 So you joined, I'm trying to think here.

00:16:46.700 In 2017.

00:16:47.520 Yeah.

00:16:47.720 Or excuse me, 2005.

00:16:50.380 And then I went in 2009.

00:16:52.100 Gotcha.

00:16:52.580 Okay.

00:16:53.260 All right.

00:16:54.300 And you went to Afghanistan.

00:16:55.940 Did you spend all your time there or?

00:16:57.300 Yeah.

00:16:57.740 What was that like?

00:16:58.560 Bagram Air Base.

00:16:59.620 Oh man.

00:17:00.360 Yeah.

00:17:00.640 What was that like?

00:17:01.900 It was a culture shock.

00:17:03.200 Yeah.

00:17:03.400 It's another reminder of how grateful I am for this country.

00:17:06.620 That doesn't mean this country is, you know, cookies and milk.

00:17:09.540 I mean, there's a lot of things when you start researching, you're like, wow, the good old

00:17:14.920 United States of America.

00:17:15.980 But I'm going to take this country a thousand times over any other country.

00:17:19.680 No question.

00:17:20.560 Yeah.

00:17:21.160 Since you spent a significant amount of time in Afghanistan, what's your thoughts on how we

00:17:25.180 pulled out under the Biden administration?

00:17:26.980 Utter failure.

00:17:27.840 No question.

00:17:28.860 Utter failure, incompetence, a weakness.

00:17:31.620 That's exactly what that was.

00:17:33.040 And it could all be avoided.

00:17:34.420 It's what happens when there's too many chiefs.

00:17:36.380 You know, when you have too many people trying to make a name for themselves and politics

00:17:40.840 is involved, common sense goes out the window every single time.

00:17:44.120 Can you explain to people real quick?

00:17:45.220 Because they might not be familiar with what we're talking about.

00:17:47.920 Like what happened, why we pulled out the way that we did, how they failed.

00:17:52.120 Yeah.

00:17:52.600 So step one, obviously, is the recurring pattern of each president claiming that we're going

00:17:57.780 to withdraw from Afghanistan.

00:17:59.760 Right.

00:18:00.040 But that happened, Obama, Trump, of course.

00:18:03.340 And under the Trump administration 1.0, he actually was able to finally get something

00:18:08.460 on paper.

00:18:09.460 Like, hey, this is going to happen.

00:18:11.100 Yeah.

00:18:11.500 And all the Biden administration had to do was just come in and execute.

00:18:17.060 But they didn't execute that plan properly.

00:18:19.980 So the plan was already on paper.

00:18:21.580 But as far as like step one, step two, step three, that wasn't on paper.

00:18:24.640 Just the agreement to pull out was on paper.

00:18:26.800 Gotcha.

00:18:27.440 So the execution, even though there were multiple generals who stated this is not the best way

00:18:33.980 to do this.

00:18:35.400 Biden was convinced it had to happen and it had to happen now.

00:18:39.400 And he just.

00:18:40.100 Interesting.

00:18:40.120 Yeah.

00:18:40.540 It's just.

00:18:41.420 And I'm not even.

00:18:42.420 I'm not even.

00:18:43.780 OK.

00:18:44.320 Because she wrote a book about you guys.

00:18:45.760 All right.

00:18:45.980 Kamala Harris.

00:18:46.620 Yeah.

00:18:46.920 So she was.

00:18:47.580 She was in the room.

00:18:48.960 OK.

00:18:49.440 On record.

00:18:50.040 That's what she said.

00:18:50.720 Not me.

00:18:51.420 That's what she said.

00:18:52.200 She was in the room when this decision was made.

00:18:55.540 So.

00:18:56.060 To pull out.

00:18:57.620 In the way that we did.

00:18:58.560 Yes.

00:18:58.920 That strategy.

00:18:59.540 Yes.

00:18:59.840 OK.

00:19:00.460 So.

00:19:02.480 Listen.

00:19:03.040 I am results driven.

00:19:05.260 So 13 service members died that day.

00:19:08.380 Yes.

00:19:09.580 So what else is there really to talk about?

00:19:11.700 They just caught the guy that was responsible under this administration.

00:19:15.340 What was his name?

00:19:17.880 I don't know his name.

00:19:18.900 But Kash Patel and Pam Bondi.

00:19:20.800 They like literally a month or two into the administration said, hey, we got the guys that were responsible.

00:19:24.920 For that.

00:19:25.440 That's good.

00:19:25.880 And they actually brought them back.

00:19:27.180 I never.

00:19:27.660 I didn't even hear about this craziness.

00:19:29.320 Yeah.

00:19:29.540 Yeah.

00:19:29.800 It got.

00:19:30.180 It got.

00:19:30.940 With this administration, there's stuff going in the headlines every single day.

00:19:33.760 It got.

00:19:34.500 It literally got swallowed.

00:19:36.080 Pause.

00:19:36.900 Very quickly.

00:19:37.900 Yeah.

00:19:38.160 So.

00:19:38.760 Yeah.

00:19:38.860 13 members lost their life.

00:19:39.960 And I think the results show that somewhere along the line.

00:19:43.240 They went wrong.

00:19:44.540 They made a bad choice.

00:19:46.340 It wasn't planned properly.

00:19:47.340 It wasn't executed properly.

00:19:48.540 And that's just the bottom line to it.

00:19:49.960 You know.

00:19:50.800 When you serve in the military, you develop this mindset that it's about results.

00:19:54.920 At the end of the day.

00:19:56.060 You can make up any excuse you want.

00:19:57.980 But the results show that Americans lost their life about pulling out of a country.

00:20:05.680 It's not like we were at war actively.

00:20:08.020 You know what I mean?

00:20:08.560 Yeah.

00:20:08.860 Yeah.

00:20:08.880 So it's just.

00:20:10.300 It's madness.

00:20:12.040 Was there.

00:20:12.740 Obviously, you know, a lot of times when politicians do things, there's a political

00:20:15.620 incentive to do so, et cetera.

00:20:18.500 And this was what?

00:20:19.280 Like two years ago, if I'm not mistaken.

00:20:20.660 Like 2023 that this happened?

00:20:23.200 No.

00:20:23.300 Or 22?

00:20:24.580 2020.

00:20:25.360 No.

00:20:25.800 20.

00:20:26.580 21.

00:20:27.300 Okay.

00:20:27.700 All right.

00:20:27.900 So first year that he was in.

00:20:29.480 I think it was August.

00:20:30.680 Okay.

00:20:31.020 Exactly.

00:20:31.220 August 18th.

00:20:32.020 So what was the political reasoning for doing that?

00:20:35.920 Like, is there for pulling out in that way in such a reckless manner?

00:20:39.880 Or what do you speculate?

00:20:41.060 You don't have to know the exact, but.

00:20:42.280 I don't know the answer.

00:20:43.260 Yeah.

00:20:43.980 But I would guess.

00:20:45.020 It's baffling.

00:20:45.240 I would guess it goes counter to what we normally do, which is we keep a military presence

00:20:51.600 in these multitude of countries.

00:20:53.580 Don't you find it interesting how America is the only one where we have a military base

00:20:56.980 all over the world?

00:20:58.340 Yeah.

00:20:58.720 It's not the other way around.

00:21:00.000 Yeah.

00:21:00.560 Like China doesn't have one in Mexico.

00:21:02.320 Yeah.

00:21:02.920 Right.

00:21:03.360 Yeah.

00:21:03.900 But we have South Korea, Japan, Germany, you know.

00:21:08.100 So I don't understand the thinking.

00:21:10.860 Well, I think you might be able to find out.

00:21:13.080 Yeah.

00:21:13.300 Because, you know, you like to research that area.

00:21:16.040 So I think you could find out.

00:21:17.500 So you think we should have never pulled out, should have maintained a base there, lower

00:21:21.120 the numbers, obviously, and lower the maybe the presence volume.

00:21:24.480 Well, we should have never been there to begin with.

00:21:26.160 Oh, yeah.

00:21:26.680 Yeah.

00:21:26.940 Yeah.

00:21:27.800 That's the that's the bottom line to it.

00:21:29.600 Yeah.

00:21:30.280 And looking back now, right, obviously, it's been 20, 20 years now.

00:21:33.480 Yeah.

00:21:33.880 Literally 20 years.

00:21:35.180 Looking back, knowing what you know now with the wars in the Middle East, et cetera.

00:21:38.880 Like, how does that make you feel knowing that, like, you put your life on the

00:21:41.320 line for a conflict that, honestly, we didn't even really have any business being in in the

00:21:46.980 first place?

00:21:48.440 Well, I don't fit.

00:21:51.500 I don't have any regrets.

00:21:53.580 OK.

00:21:54.440 Right.

00:21:54.780 I would do it all over again.

00:21:55.840 I'll tell you that now.

00:21:57.660 But politically, it's definitely I hate it.

00:22:01.640 Yeah.

00:22:01.840 Yeah.

00:22:02.060 No question.

00:22:03.020 Any any person who has the privilege.

00:22:05.000 It's a privilege to go overseas, by the way.

00:22:06.680 You know how many people like literally sign up to be in the military and never actually

00:22:10.600 get to leave this country?

00:22:11.760 There's a lot.

00:22:12.740 Yeah.

00:22:12.920 You know, so I find that to be a privilege.

00:22:14.940 I got to go.

00:22:16.620 And, you know, I love that part of it.

00:22:20.280 And it's the people you meet.

00:22:21.980 Right.

00:22:22.500 Those experiences that you never forget.

00:22:25.340 So there's no problems with that.

00:22:28.500 But, yeah, I mean, it's it's an interesting thought exercise because you love your country.

00:22:33.680 Yeah.

00:22:34.080 You'll die for your country.

00:22:35.100 No question.

00:22:35.900 And by the way, it's the training you go through.

00:22:38.660 These people have mastered this to a T.

00:22:41.060 You know this because you were working for the government.

00:22:43.120 Yeah.

00:22:43.560 Right.

00:22:43.820 It's all repetition.

00:22:45.940 Of course.

00:22:46.400 So it doesn't matter where you come from.

00:22:49.000 The military is the only place where you can get someone tall, short, fat, skinny, red,

00:22:53.800 pink, yellow, white, you know, Muslim, Christian, atheist.

00:22:57.920 Doesn't matter.

00:22:58.760 Idiot, smart person.

00:22:59.980 Bring them all together and make them an effective, competent soldier.

00:23:04.220 Right.

00:23:05.120 So they figured something out.

00:23:06.760 And why I bring that point up is because all veterans, when you serve and you go overseas,

00:23:12.140 there's no there's no qualms with that.

00:23:14.840 Yeah.

00:23:14.940 You're proud of that.

00:23:16.060 So obviously, you don't regret serving a country.

00:23:18.520 You just wish you could have served in another way.

00:23:20.220 That wasn't going to Afghanistan, I guess.

00:23:23.520 Hack the holidays with the PC Holiday Insiders report.

00:23:27.060 Try this PC porchetta crackling, crave worthy.

00:23:30.220 You're going to eat that.

00:23:31.300 Who are you?

00:23:32.020 I'm the voice for the next ad car commercial.

00:23:34.300 But I noticed that showstopping roast and help yourself designed for indulgence, precision

00:23:41.120 crafted to navigate every corner of my mouth, all for just $18.

00:23:46.160 OK, OK.

00:23:47.340 Try the season's hottest flavors from the PC Holiday Insiders report.

00:23:51.260 Please feast responsibly.

00:23:53.840 Yeah, I guess you could put it that way.

00:23:56.180 But those are things that are outside of my control.

00:23:59.080 So, of course.

00:23:59.860 And back then, nobody knew.

00:24:00.940 Right.

00:24:01.060 Like, obviously, we're all speaking from 20-20 hindsight.

00:24:03.500 Back then, dude, it was like mainstream media controlled the narrative.

00:24:06.260 We're defending America.

00:24:07.500 These guys attacked us.

00:24:08.520 And it took 20 years for us to wake up and realize, oh, that's not true.

00:24:11.440 Did any of your friends pass away?

00:24:13.060 They went over there?

00:24:14.140 No.

00:24:14.700 No?

00:24:14.880 No, I didn't have that.

00:24:17.180 I was not unlucky in that way.

00:24:18.940 OK.

00:24:19.120 We did know a people that did.

00:24:20.960 I don't know them personally.

00:24:22.340 But yeah, plenty of people.

00:24:23.480 And the common way people obviously lose their lives is through combat.

00:24:27.700 But there are a couple other ways that never get any attention.

00:24:31.260 And I always bring them up just to tell people, like, how dangerous it really is.

00:24:34.660 So, Iraq obviously was or is a desert flatland area.

00:24:39.760 And for the military complex out there, they wanted to build something called MRAPs, which

00:24:46.580 is up-armored.

00:24:48.380 Matter of fact, if you've ever seen SWAT in your local city, that is an MRAP.

00:24:52.460 OK.

00:24:53.620 It's an up-armored vehicle.

00:24:56.240 Anyway, point being is that they were so heavy.

00:24:59.120 So, when they sent them over to Afghanistan, because remember, they were trying to slow

00:25:03.640 down in Iraq, draw down in Iraq.

00:25:06.140 And they started shifting supplies and vehicles and stuff like that to Afghanistan.

00:25:12.860 And just so everybody understands, the military is going nowhere without logistics.

00:25:19.840 Yeah.

00:25:20.320 OK.

00:25:20.960 Super important.

00:25:21.640 So, they moved logistics to Afghanistan.

00:25:24.420 The problem is, the problem is, the vehicles would roll over and kill soldiers.

00:25:36.760 Because Afghanistan is mountainous.

00:25:38.920 It's-

00:25:39.240 Yes.

00:25:39.880 Right?

00:25:40.260 It's not flat.

00:25:40.440 Unforgiving terrain, man.

00:25:41.680 Yeah.

00:25:42.100 Unforgiving terrain.

00:25:43.140 So, a lot of people lost their lives that way.

00:25:45.600 A lot of rollovers.

00:25:46.880 A lot of freak accidents.

00:25:47.820 And then, you know, depending on if you were on a FOB, some people got killed through mortars.

00:25:54.380 Mm-hmm.

00:25:54.680 You know.

00:25:55.340 But Bagram Air Base would get hit with mortars, but it wasn't anywhere close to where people

00:25:59.640 were.

00:26:00.240 Mm-hmm.

00:26:00.460 It's like on the outer perimeter.

00:26:03.820 Mm-hmm.

00:26:04.500 Every now and then, they may get lucky.

00:26:06.160 But, yeah, that's how it went.

00:26:07.740 Gotcha.

00:26:08.200 Gotcha.

00:26:08.680 Wow.

00:26:08.820 So, you do your time in the military.

00:26:10.480 You get out.

00:26:11.440 What did you do next after that?

00:26:13.820 Adjusting the civilian life?

00:26:14.140 Well, it's important to tell people why I got out, because I had 13 years, okay?

00:26:19.020 And, let's back up.

00:26:20.860 So, when I was 27 years old, I became an E7.

00:26:26.560 Okay.

00:26:26.900 So, an E7 would be, for people who don't know, that'd be equivalent to, what would you say?

00:26:33.540 At least a store manager of a major corporation.

00:26:36.360 Yeah.

00:26:36.640 I would, you, I think so, right?

00:26:38.300 I mean, you're, you're, you're, you've, you've, you're hardened.

00:26:40.880 You've been there for a minute.

00:26:41.620 Is that a GS-11?

00:26:43.600 Or GS-12?

00:26:44.860 Yeah, you could say 11 or 12, yeah.

00:26:46.180 Yeah, yeah.

00:26:46.380 You're, like, you're, like, not really a manager yet, officially, but you, people defer to you for, you know, for advice and stuff like that, informally.

00:26:52.840 Yep.

00:26:53.080 Yeah.

00:26:53.240 So, a context would be, an E7 is usually a platoon sergeant responsible for 33 soldiers, or 32 soldiers, okay?

00:27:03.680 Anyways, point is, I got to this rink at E7, and I was, like, man, I wanted to prove my family that I'm somebody, because, remember, I was adopted, you know, I really didn't have anybody there.

00:27:15.000 Yeah.

00:27:15.460 You know, I had to figure stuff out.

00:27:17.420 So, I had this chip on my shoulder, like, yeah, I'm gonna go to the military, I'm gonna be successful, and when I get to the top, man, people are gonna, yeah, you know?

00:27:24.580 Well, I get there, and then, I'm, like, I'm not happy at all.

00:27:27.960 So, I feel, like, depressed, like, what's going on?

00:27:32.680 So, then, DeVore, who's a little stubborn at times, I'm, like, oh, maybe I just didn't go high enough.

00:27:40.260 So, then I was, like, I'll be an officer.

00:27:42.820 So, transitioning from being non-commissioned to commission.

00:27:45.860 Yeah.

00:27:46.280 Okay, that's, like, again, go back to store manager.

00:27:48.680 That's, like, transitioning to store manager to executive.

00:27:50.940 Yep.

00:27:51.320 Right?

00:27:51.680 Yep.

00:27:52.120 Different game.

00:27:53.340 And you need a degree, right?

00:27:54.400 So, were you going to school at that point, and while you were in, or no?

00:27:57.280 Yeah, I already went to school.

00:27:58.980 I did go to school while I was in.

00:28:00.440 Okay.

00:28:00.760 You got your bachelor's?

00:28:01.660 Which was called a scam, and we could talk about that as well.

00:28:03.220 You got your bachelor's in there?

00:28:04.740 In business.

00:28:05.400 Okay.

00:28:05.780 Nice.

00:28:07.220 And, anyways, so I switched over to being an officer.

00:28:09.340 I went to officer school, graduated, and still felt the same way.

00:28:14.020 And then the last straw, and this is why I want to tell a story, was when you become an officer, you get a sponsor.

00:28:21.360 Just to make it simple for everybody, you get a sponsor, right?

00:28:23.680 Someone who's managing your career.

00:28:26.360 So, she comes up to me one day, and she's like, hey, I want to introduce you to this colonel, Colonel Bond.

00:28:32.720 He's black, and he's looking for more black officers.

00:28:35.560 Okay.

00:28:36.320 Interesting.

00:28:37.000 Yeah, that's exactly my reaction.

00:28:39.040 Yeah.

00:28:39.280 What year is this, just out of curious at this point?

00:28:41.700 This is like 2008?

00:28:43.440 2017.

00:28:44.220 2017.

00:28:44.760 Oh, okay.

00:28:45.540 Not too long ago.

00:28:45.940 So, under the first Trump administration, this stuff was already going to happen.

00:28:49.120 Gotcha.

00:28:49.640 Okay.

00:28:49.760 So, DEI was already coming.

00:28:51.440 Yep.

00:28:51.820 It was just only a matter of time.

00:28:53.020 And I think Biden accelerated it.

00:28:55.420 Anyways, so when she told me that, my heart dropped, and I was like, yeah, I'm done.

00:29:00.180 So, I wrote a letter.

00:29:01.760 I said, hey, I can't be the officer the Army needs me to be.

00:29:06.040 You guys got to let me go.

00:29:07.760 I already had 13 years in.

00:29:08.980 And whoever looked at it, whatever colonel, blessed them because they looked at it, signed

00:29:14.180 it, and called it a day.

00:29:15.540 Wow.

00:29:16.200 Yeah.

00:29:16.360 So, you turned down a promotion opportunity because you wanted to be judged on the merits

00:29:21.680 of your skill set versus the color of your skin.

00:29:24.840 Yeah.

00:29:25.080 It's the way I was brought up.

00:29:26.220 Wow.

00:29:27.080 I had to earn everything.

00:29:28.080 A lot of people wouldn't do that.

00:29:29.260 They'll be like, oh, let me take that freebie.

00:29:30.640 Like, let's go.

00:29:31.400 Well, a lot of people would have stayed in.

00:29:32.860 Yeah, of course.

00:29:33.740 And then would have been a slave.

00:29:35.780 Wow, man.

00:29:37.180 Bro, I ain't gonna lie.

00:29:38.340 That's very commendable because, like, a lot of people were just taking that and been

00:29:41.420 like, cool, I'm gonna take this opportunity.

00:29:42.640 But you're like, no, I'm not gonna.

00:29:43.380 And by the way, that's not to say that veterans are slaves as far as getting 20 years in and

00:29:47.940 then collecting a check.

00:29:49.020 Yeah.

00:29:49.200 But I think you know, you have some level of self-awareness or some inclination to know

00:29:54.940 I am not the guy to take a salary.

00:29:57.980 I'm not the guy that's going to just cruise.

00:30:01.180 That was never me.

00:30:02.920 I can't help it.

00:30:03.940 I have to be like, I'm doing something.

00:30:06.720 I'm going somewhere.

00:30:07.340 I got this going on.

00:30:09.220 And the military kept making me feel like I was being controlled in a sense because I

00:30:16.740 couldn't obviously manage my time.

00:30:18.640 They manage your time, right?

00:30:20.420 So you can't be anywhere you want to be when you want to be.

00:30:23.140 And every time there's a training coming up, it always happens when it's like, oh, I was

00:30:27.300 supposed to go to this birthday party or I was supposed to go hang out with so-and-so.

00:30:30.760 Right?

00:30:30.860 So there was plenty of stuff going on and the standards were getting weak anyway.

00:30:36.500 And I was really, I was a serious guy.

00:30:39.100 Like I was probably 10x serious than what you see right now.

00:30:41.540 Gotcha.

00:30:41.760 I would never smile.

00:30:42.720 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:30:43.160 I was like that guy.

00:30:44.240 Like, hey, that guy, don't mess with him.

00:30:46.080 Yeah.

00:30:46.200 Because he's like.

00:30:46.480 So just watching the wokeism permeate throughout the military, you're like, I'm out.

00:30:51.380 This pisses me off.

00:30:52.300 Yeah, absolutely.

00:30:53.320 And it just felt heavy on my heart that I could probably be doing something better outside

00:30:57.360 the military where I could help people.

00:31:00.640 So when did you really start seeing this happening?

00:31:02.740 Like, did you see this like transition in the wokeism with the military happen?

00:31:05.700 Like what?

00:31:06.220 2016, 2017-ish era?

00:31:08.100 Was it before that even you saw it coming?

00:31:13.460 I would say it started in early 2000s.

00:31:17.700 Okay.

00:31:19.560 One indicator of that is look at the military uniforms.

00:31:23.860 We went from shining our boots, pressing our uniforms to having tan boots and not pressing

00:31:31.080 your uniforms.

00:31:32.680 That was like indicator number one.

00:31:35.240 Again, the people at the top, these, you know, again, all of these chiefs who think

00:31:39.380 they know better, they were looking for convenience, another way to make money because that is

00:31:43.900 a contract.

00:31:45.040 Yeah.

00:31:45.540 You see what I'm saying?

00:31:46.160 Yeah.

00:31:47.220 And instead of sticking to what makes the military great, that's just one small thing

00:31:52.880 that over time, just brick by brick, policy by policy, you know, rule by rule that kept

00:31:58.860 chipping or chipping at the quality of the military.

00:32:03.840 That's why we became soft over time.

00:32:07.360 If you hit the way the odds of joining the military now, would you think it's worth it

00:32:10.260 for a young man coming out?

00:32:11.240 Oh, absolutely.

00:32:12.160 Yeah.

00:32:12.420 No question.

00:32:13.300 Matter of, and I'm extreme on this.

00:32:15.120 I'm of the opinion that as a senior, you should join the military for at least two years.

00:32:19.760 Yeah.

00:32:20.380 And you should leave this country.

00:32:22.420 Really?

00:32:23.240 Yeah.

00:32:24.720 Why?

00:32:25.620 Because most people are stuck in a bubble.

00:32:27.540 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:32:28.040 Most people think the world is their local town.

00:32:30.500 Yeah.

00:32:31.120 No, it's not.

00:32:32.240 Not even your state.

00:32:33.280 Yeah.

00:32:34.480 Right?

00:32:34.960 Like, honestly, how many people watching, how many of them have traveled out of state,

00:32:41.120 went to another state they've never been to, went somewhere they've never been to on purpose?

00:32:46.100 Most Americans don't even have a passport.

00:32:47.960 Let alone, like, you know, yeah.

00:32:50.120 I mean, so, Pete Exeth is trying to roll back a lot of these things that we discussed with

00:32:57.060 what's going on.

00:32:58.380 What's your thoughts on that?

00:32:59.780 Are you happy that he's been kind of rolling out these fitness standards, you know, trimming

00:33:04.640 beards again, going back to it?

00:33:06.000 What are your thoughts on that?

00:33:08.120 It's everything you guys talk about on this show.

00:33:11.080 Okay?

00:33:11.780 You got to pay a price.

00:33:12.780 And over time, they've been lowering the value of that price through DEI and woke policies.

00:33:19.220 Now he's going back to, we got to pay a high price to be the most effective military in

00:33:24.520 the world.

00:33:25.340 And that price is high standards, inconvenience, you know?

00:33:30.120 And this is the thing that people don't understand is you can't get something without giving

00:33:33.780 something up.

00:33:34.780 So if you want to be great in life, you got to, you got to eat crap.

00:33:38.360 Like, you know what I mean?

00:33:39.220 Like, if you want to get good in the gym, you got to tear some muscles.

00:33:42.600 I mean, that's literally what's happening, right?

00:33:44.580 Yep.

00:33:44.700 Your muscles are tearing when you're working out.

00:33:47.120 Anyways, Pete Hexeth, in my opinion, and this is probably a hot take for people in politics.

00:33:53.580 I think Pete Hexeth was the best pick out of anybody in that cabinet.

00:33:57.500 Okay.

00:33:58.140 Why?

00:33:59.120 Because he is your soldier's general.

00:34:02.960 He is your soldier's secretary of war.

00:34:05.160 Like, if I'm a soldier, that's my guy.

00:34:08.700 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:34:09.320 Because he's me.

00:34:10.720 More relatable.

00:34:11.700 Absolutely.

00:34:12.220 Far more relatable.

00:34:12.660 I don't think there's any more relatable in any of those cabinet positions than him.

00:34:16.860 Yeah.

00:34:17.840 No, I like when he's-

00:34:18.960 He's not bought and paid for by some military contractor because he was on the board of

00:34:22.960 directors and had stocks in that company.

00:34:26.000 That's not him.

00:34:26.700 Yeah, yeah.

00:34:27.440 Like, he actually served and was in the military.

00:34:28.720 No, I definitely see that perspective.

00:34:31.340 Yeah.

00:34:32.540 You know, he does get a lot of respect from people.

00:34:34.600 I mean, they changed it to Secretary of War, right?

00:34:37.420 Department of War.

00:34:38.700 Exactly.

00:34:39.280 Right?

00:34:39.480 They changed the name.

00:34:41.600 But no, I do like what he's doing with the military where he's put standards back in,

00:34:46.480 got rid of the wokeism, you know, because I remember there were like people in high positions

00:34:50.300 that we didn't even know what their gender is, right?

00:34:52.100 We're on YouTube.

00:34:52.740 I'll keep it clean.

00:34:53.080 Exactly.

00:34:53.580 But that's absolutely nuts to me that we would have policies like that in our military.

00:34:57.900 And me and you have talked about this.

00:35:00.900 I think one of the biggest threats to us is China.

00:35:03.840 Absolutely.

00:35:04.600 So, you know, because obviously increasing the standards of the military and becoming

00:35:08.200 more refined, there's a reason for that.

00:35:09.660 It's because one of our biggest competitors, China, is growing stronger day by day.

00:35:13.160 Yeah.

00:35:13.400 And, you know, I'm glad that Hexans was able to come in and put standards back in because

00:35:16.900 I watch the Chinese military parade.

00:35:20.240 Yes.

00:35:20.400 Then I watch our parade.

00:35:22.060 And I'm like, uh, they're not even marching in cadence.

00:35:25.500 No.

00:35:25.660 People look sloppy.

00:35:26.620 A lot of people are overweight.

00:35:27.580 Meanwhile, the Chinese are, you know, marching literally in perfect unison.

00:35:31.620 All the guys are in shape.

00:35:33.660 It's like not even close if you watch them side by side.

00:35:36.080 They're like machines.

00:35:36.780 Yeah, dude.

00:35:37.140 Pretty much.

00:35:37.500 You know, so, um, but what, what are your thoughts on that in general?

00:35:41.360 Well, don't forget about the United States Marine Corps.

00:35:44.800 Yeah.

00:35:45.460 Right.

00:35:45.920 Because I think they are our best and brightest.

00:35:48.140 For sure.

00:35:48.440 That's why if you go to the White House, who do you see?

00:35:50.740 You don't see army.

00:35:51.840 You see Marines.

00:35:53.000 Yep.

00:35:53.480 Who is guarding that door?

00:35:54.980 Marines.

00:35:55.660 And every embassy internationally, they're there.

00:35:57.740 Exactly.

00:35:58.540 Yeah, exactly.

00:35:59.200 So, you know, I, I just think someone made a, a, a terrible, I guess, I don't know why

00:36:05.220 they chose that particular unit to march in the parade.

00:36:08.280 They should have just chose the Marines.

00:36:10.560 Yeah.

00:36:11.120 Um, so I think that has something to be said, but the army, just so you guys understand,

00:36:15.260 they, there's never been an expectation for the army to be sharp as far as their image

00:36:19.640 is concerned, like the Marine Corps is.

00:36:21.680 Yeah.

00:36:22.300 It's never been that way.

00:36:23.580 Um, so you get out.

00:36:25.420 Mm-hmm.

00:36:25.960 How did you transition from soldier life to civilian life, then into YouTube and podcasting?

00:36:31.200 So my brother and I, we had a juice bar.

00:36:33.440 We started a juice bar in our local town.

00:36:36.480 Our direct competition was, um, Jamba Juice.

00:36:39.460 Jamba Juice?

00:36:40.040 Jamba Juice, yeah.

00:36:40.860 Yeah.

00:36:41.480 I knew it.

00:36:42.000 And I learned a lot about our archmanureship and we were pretty successful because we just

00:36:46.940 did the opposite of what they were doing.

00:36:48.960 You know, they weren't really into organic and making it fresh, you know, they, cause it's

00:36:54.880 a franchise.

00:36:55.520 Yeah, of course, of course.

00:36:56.280 They're trying to maximize profits.

00:36:57.480 A lot of sugar too.

00:36:58.400 Exactly.

00:36:58.820 A lot of sugar.

00:36:59.480 Yep.

00:37:00.220 And so we did a lot of organic, we did a lot of juicing and we got it to the point where

00:37:05.340 like, like 99.9% of everything was organic, you know, and, uh, we, we did everything in

00:37:11.640 house and COVID happened.

00:37:14.740 Mm-hmm.

00:37:15.000 So then we shut down and it was a lesson about how people who are young are thinking

00:37:22.380 like, yeah, I'm going to go start a business.

00:37:24.300 First off, like what industry are you going in?

00:37:28.140 Cause if you're going into the restaurant business, like most people aren't getting rich.

00:37:33.160 Okay.

00:37:33.720 Yeah.

00:37:34.140 Most people are mortgaging their home to stay afloat.

00:37:36.260 They're surviving.

00:37:36.940 You know what I mean?

00:37:37.480 At best.

00:37:37.840 Yeah.

00:37:38.400 Because those margins are slim.

00:37:40.120 You got at least 30% for wages, at least to get the food or whatever you're selling

00:37:45.960 is 30%.

00:37:46.780 And then you got taxes and overhead and all this other stuff.

00:37:50.680 Insurance too as well.

00:37:51.140 Yeah.

00:37:51.340 Insurance.

00:37:52.000 So you're not really making any money.

00:37:53.400 I think the average percentage of the profits in restaurant is three, 3% or something like

00:37:57.020 that.

00:37:57.260 It's a grueling business, man.

00:37:58.920 Yeah.

00:37:59.100 It's a grind.

00:38:00.100 So we did that.

00:38:02.340 We shut it down.

00:38:03.700 Um, that's actually where I met my wife, by the way.

00:38:05.780 Um, was she a customer?

00:38:07.840 Um, she was an employee.

00:38:09.140 So you guys go ahead and, uh, Hey man, do what you gotta do, bro.

00:38:13.120 Hey.

00:38:13.840 Nah, nah, do what you gotta do.

00:38:15.160 We're all for it.

00:38:15.900 We're all for it.

00:38:16.460 If it works, it works, brother.

00:38:18.400 Yeah.

00:38:18.720 I ain't mad at you at all.

00:38:19.600 It works, it works.

00:38:20.340 Hey, hey, hey, we are married.

00:38:22.000 You're getting no shaming from us.

00:38:23.380 We are married.

00:38:24.520 Yeah.

00:38:24.700 So I think that's, if you're gonna do it.

00:38:26.580 Hey, hey, hey.

00:38:26.920 Didn't they say, hey, she works at a shop or McDonald's, people never wife her up?

00:38:33.100 Yeah, exactly.

00:38:33.380 Didn't they say that?

00:38:33.920 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:38:34.280 Oh, they're idiots.

00:38:35.140 Whoever says that is an idiot.

00:38:36.260 These girls.

00:38:36.280 And, no, she's great.

00:38:37.920 She's not a boss, babe.

00:38:39.940 She's very base chat.

00:38:41.120 I actually, I wish she would have been on the panel with some of the girls.

00:38:44.220 Yeah.

00:38:44.520 No, she will be.

00:38:45.420 She will be.

00:38:45.580 But one day she will.

00:38:46.600 So, no, she's fantastic.

00:38:48.020 She's great, man.

00:38:48.740 That'd be, man.

00:38:49.220 It's good for you.

00:38:49.680 Yeah.

00:38:50.020 Yeah.

00:38:50.620 So we, yeah.

00:38:52.840 So what happened after that?

00:39:52.820 See GoldenNuggetCasino.com for details.

00:39:55.740 Please play responsibly.

00:39:57.660 Because I believe what helped me so much was my mindset.

00:40:01.240 So, you know, I was raised by a single mother.

00:40:03.400 My biggest downfall at that time was I was so angry at my dad for never being around.

00:40:08.140 That killed me for so many times.

00:40:09.700 I was an angry dude.

00:40:10.940 Like, no one ever wanted to be around me.

00:40:12.940 Wow.

00:40:14.040 Because you're so calm and polite.

00:40:15.460 Like, I would never...

00:40:16.020 Oh, no, I'm a totally different guy today.

00:40:17.240 Yeah.

00:40:17.480 Yeah, yeah.

00:40:18.020 But it was mindset that changed it.

00:40:19.540 Gotcha.

00:40:20.080 Yeah.

00:40:20.820 So, that's why when you're trying to tell these women who are like, yeah, I'm going to freeze

00:40:26.140 my eggs and then I'm going to, like, have a kid on my own.

00:40:29.420 And you're an idiot, bro.

00:40:31.000 Like, you're really going to hurt that child in so many ways that you don't even see.

00:40:36.900 Now, luckily for me, I actually, like, I had, like, an epiphany one day.

00:40:41.180 I was like, like, why am I so angry?

00:40:43.620 Oh, I'm angry at my dad.

00:40:44.840 But why?

00:40:45.400 Like, he should be angry.

00:40:48.520 Like, he should be angry.

00:40:48.620 Not me.

00:40:50.060 Right?

00:40:50.480 That's his burden.

00:40:51.360 Not me.

00:40:52.080 So, and mindset helped me.

00:40:55.320 I got a mentor and all that other stuff.

00:40:57.460 And then I started coaching people.

00:40:58.680 Like, every day, five, six calls every day for, like, two years straight during COVID.

00:41:03.600 It's a perfect time.

00:41:05.680 And then...

00:41:06.380 Did COVID hurt your juice business significantly or were you still able to offer?

00:41:10.200 Oh, we closed it.

00:41:10.980 You guys just straight up closed it.

00:41:11.800 No, we closed it when the world shut down, literally.

00:41:15.260 Okay.

00:41:15.840 Yeah.

00:41:16.100 So, in California, it was like, you can't even have your business open at that time.

00:41:19.860 He was in California back then.

00:41:21.080 Yeah.

00:41:21.360 Yeah.

00:41:21.460 Okay.

00:41:21.680 Were you scared about the outcome?

00:41:24.460 What was coming next?

00:41:25.360 Closing it down?

00:41:27.340 No.

00:41:27.860 I was at peace.

00:41:29.120 Yeah, I was at peace.

00:41:30.600 Because, again, it's not cookies and milk owning a business.

00:41:34.180 It's not cookies and milk managing people.

00:41:37.260 You know?

00:41:37.860 And it sucks in the restaurant industry because you have to pay these employees minimum wage.

00:41:45.860 It's like you almost don't have a choice unless you want to go out of business.

00:41:49.520 You know?

00:41:50.600 So, you know, I didn't like that aspect either.

00:41:53.080 I always believe in paying people a little bit more than usual.

00:41:58.720 Because I think if you invest in your people, it comes back, you know?

00:42:02.360 Agreed, yeah.

00:42:03.300 And restaurant, you can't really do that.

00:42:05.200 Unless you have multiple locations, the money's up, you know?

00:42:08.700 But history has shown that doesn't work.

00:42:11.980 So, oh, good.

00:42:13.160 No, just, I have a lot of friends that own restaurants in Miami.

00:42:15.880 Yeah.

00:42:16.240 And surviving is pretty much, like, everyday thing.

00:42:19.960 Yeah.

00:42:20.140 Now, what would you say if someone wanted to start a restaurant, it should start having a mind to do?

00:42:25.440 Because, obviously, you went through the bullshit.

00:42:27.640 It happened to you as well.

00:42:28.580 But, like, you know what to do now more than anybody else.

00:42:31.680 Well, it's the same.

00:42:33.000 So, one of the biggest lessons in entrepreneurship is do the opposite of what everybody else is doing.

00:42:37.960 What most people do is what you just said.

00:42:40.820 Brick and mortar.

00:42:42.240 Right.

00:42:43.220 They put out, which costs a lot of money, a lot of overhead.

00:42:46.640 Okay.

00:42:47.160 Well, what can you do instead?

00:42:49.220 A food truck?

00:42:50.620 A pop-up?

00:42:51.900 Save up your money first?

00:42:53.400 Build up your clientele?

00:42:54.840 Establish a loyal base.

00:42:55.920 Get your name out there.

00:42:57.140 And then leverage into a brick and mortar, if it actually makes sense.

00:43:02.120 That's smart.

00:43:02.900 Yeah, the food truck angle is very good.

00:43:04.620 Because we know a girl that came on a show.

00:43:05.960 She started a food truck.

00:43:07.400 She does vegan stuff as well.

00:43:08.960 Okay.

00:43:09.140 I think here in Midtown.

00:43:10.400 Oh, yeah.

00:43:10.700 And she's killing it right now.

00:43:12.400 But she started small, got a customer base, and then it's going to expand later on.

00:43:16.140 Food trucks are underrated because, like, you can move it, too.

00:43:18.980 Yeah.

00:43:19.260 That's the other thing.

00:43:19.940 I mean, getting a permit might be a pain depending on where you are.

00:43:22.380 Exactly.

00:43:23.080 But that might be better than, you know, a solid location.

00:43:27.280 And if you add social media marketing as well with that, with your actual clientele and your customers, you've got a perfect synergy there.

00:43:33.700 Yeah.

00:43:34.000 Yeah.

00:43:34.320 See, it goes back to what they don't teach you in school.

00:43:37.920 So step number one is you've got to get your mindset in order because no matter what opportunity comes your way, if you're not in the right state of mind, you're going to fumble it every time.

00:43:46.280 There's no question about it.

00:43:47.300 Why?

00:43:48.100 Because we're a product of our own environment.

00:43:49.840 Have you guys seen the movie Trading Places?

00:43:52.200 No.

00:43:52.460 I've heard of it, but I never watched it.

00:43:54.240 Eddie Murphy, Dan Aykroyd, one of the best movies ever made.

00:43:58.560 The point of the movie was taking Eddie Murphy, who was on the corner, homeless, robbing people all the time, ghetto, all this stuff, right?

00:44:05.360 They made a dollar bet that they could take him and put him in their company, clean him up, have him around white people who are successful in the stock market, and he will be successful, probably more successful than they would be.

00:44:18.660 Take a guy who was one of these white dudes who were successful in the stock market, grew up clean, and put his ass on the street, and see what happens.

00:44:28.220 Product of our environment.

00:44:29.640 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:44:29.900 So, yeah, the circle you're around is very important, very underrated.

00:44:33.700 So, I say step one, mindset, because most people still today are making decisions and thinking based on the environment they grew up in, not necessarily the environment they're currently living in.

00:44:47.340 Yeah.

00:44:47.440 So, for example, you hear the quote, you know, you could take the guy out of the hood, but you can't take the hood out of the guy or whatever, right?

00:44:55.780 They haven't changed their mindset.

00:44:57.020 They have to shift their paradigm.

00:44:59.060 Shit.

00:44:59.720 Yeah, so that's step one.

00:45:00.960 Okay, go ahead.

00:45:01.520 And then step two is what you were just saying about the food truck, about the girl.

00:45:06.800 You got to understand that our whole purpose on this planet, besides obviously expansion and growth, is serving each other.

00:45:16.080 Okay?

00:45:16.480 How do you do that?

00:45:18.100 You do that by solving a problem.

00:45:21.040 Like, they don't teach you this stuff.

00:45:23.260 What problem are you guys solving with Fresh and Fit?

00:45:26.720 Dating.

00:45:27.320 The number one men's podcast in the world, right?

00:45:29.760 Lifestyle money.

00:45:30.580 So, exactly.

00:45:32.580 That's a big problem.

00:45:33.640 Most men today are like me.

00:45:34.880 They didn't have both parents.

00:45:36.440 They didn't have a good father.

00:45:38.900 Yeah.

00:45:39.380 So, and then they're being bombarded by all this nonsense on social media.

00:45:42.900 That's a whole other thing.

00:45:43.520 The point is, you have to solve a problem for people.

00:45:47.780 Got it.

00:45:48.420 Yeah.

00:45:48.960 That's really good.

00:45:50.340 We can actually read some chats real quick, because I know on your thing, and we got, like, I think between all the platforms, like 5,000, 6,000 of you guys watching here.

00:45:56.560 Maybe more, actually, between all the platforms.

00:45:58.540 We could read some of your chats.

00:46:02.000 Sure.

00:46:02.660 Okay.

00:46:03.080 So, we got here.

00:46:04.040 Can we make that big for us, please?

00:46:06.580 Okay.

00:46:07.080 We got here.

00:46:08.440 We were forced out by the government of Afghanistan.

00:46:11.920 That's why we pulled out that way.

00:46:15.840 That's what he's saying.

00:46:16.600 Okay.

00:46:16.880 He's saying, like, we pulled out.

00:46:18.520 Yeah.

00:46:18.940 But that still doesn't excuse.

00:46:20.000 I mean, they lost.

00:46:20.760 They left billions of dollars worth of equipment.

00:46:22.120 I find that hard to believe, but okay.

00:46:24.180 Because even if they did, bro, they don't tell us how to leave.

00:46:27.160 Exactly.

00:46:28.080 Because we lost so much.

00:46:29.240 What?

00:46:29.440 We lost, like, a billion dollars worth of classified equipment?

00:46:31.740 Oh, I didn't mean.

00:46:32.260 We.

00:46:33.000 Probably more than that.

00:46:33.860 Just by even being there.

00:46:35.000 How many equipment was.

00:46:37.740 Just left it there.

00:46:39.080 Destroyed.

00:46:39.440 Yeah.

00:46:39.800 Damn.

00:46:40.180 A lot of people don't know that.

00:46:41.120 Like, a lot of weapons, supplies, night vision goggles, vehicles were destroyed because they didn't want to send it back.

00:46:47.900 Yeah.

00:46:50.760 Okay.

00:46:51.120 I can't wait to see DeVore on after hours with the Scandless 304 is going to bring him back to the barrack days.

00:46:55.480 Yeah.

00:46:55.600 It's going to be funny.

00:46:56.340 Adrian Delway.

00:46:56.960 Thank you very much for that.

00:46:59.360 Idris Ram.

00:46:59.940 This is from Rumble.

00:47:00.500 Says, I live in Doha, Qatar.

00:47:01.760 I'm originally from Algeria.

00:47:02.860 I've been doing sales with U.S.-based companies for over two years remotely.

00:47:05.920 I get around 2K from my U.S. job.

00:47:09.040 And honestly, that ain't much.

00:47:10.280 With living costs in Qatar, I'm left with nothing.

00:47:12.100 I can get a second job at Qatar and work 90 hours a week or go back to Algeria to save.

00:47:16.780 Yeah.

00:47:17.080 I would say, and this comes from entropy.

00:47:18.480 Yeah, bro.

00:47:18.740 I would say get a second job.

00:47:20.080 Try to make it where you're at because you're going to have way more opportunity in Qatar than in Algeria.

00:47:24.500 Can I just say this really quickly?

00:47:25.900 This is a great example of what I'm talking about, what's not taught.

00:47:28.820 What dictates a salesperson from the amount of money that they can make?

00:47:34.540 Well, it's the need for what they do.

00:47:36.540 So what problem are they solving?

00:47:37.960 What product are they selling?

00:47:40.220 Their ability to do it.

00:47:41.560 How good are they at sales?

00:47:42.620 Most people are not self-aware enough to say, hey, you know what?

00:47:46.120 I suck at this.

00:47:47.840 I had a roofing in a solar company as well with my brother.

00:47:52.720 And I sucked at it.

00:47:55.240 I wasn't a great manager.

00:47:56.940 I wasn't a good CEO for that business.

00:47:59.340 I was the wrong guy.

00:48:00.020 And I think the problem with men is we have to be able to look in the mirror and just understand that, hey, I'm not good.

00:48:07.740 So why don't I find something I am good at?

00:48:10.860 Most people waste a decade in a career they've never been good at, will never be good at.

00:48:15.920 They'll be average.

00:48:17.140 You're wasting time.

00:48:19.840 Everybody's good at something.

00:48:21.600 The key or the unlock is finding out what you're great at.

00:48:25.540 You're great at people, relationships, right?

00:48:29.700 That's you.

00:48:30.220 You go out there.

00:48:31.480 Networking.

00:48:32.120 Network.

00:48:32.940 Not everybody has that skill.

00:48:35.020 Yeah.

00:48:35.300 Right?

00:48:36.520 That's not me, man.

00:48:37.520 I'm an introvert at heart.

00:48:39.800 Okay?

00:48:40.580 But obviously, that's easy for you.

00:48:43.380 So that's how you've been able to leverage, right?

00:48:46.280 And I'm just using that as an example.

00:48:49.060 It's just self-awareness.

00:48:50.780 So $2,000 is like, yeah, I get a second job, but are you good at sales?

00:48:58.240 Because if you're not good, you'll keep making that money.

00:49:01.380 And you're saying if your skill level isn't there, you should say, you know what?

00:49:03.940 Be self-aware.

00:49:04.580 I need to improve better to get a better skill set.

00:49:07.260 But yeah, I mean, I guess I'm a little extreme because I think our society needs to get, we

00:49:14.960 need to lean in on specialization.

00:49:16.940 And that needs to start in like middle school.

00:49:19.300 We need to identify people at a young age of what they are great at, what their inherent skills already are.

00:49:27.140 You can tell when you see children, like what child is great at what, you know?

00:49:31.640 And it's the same thing with adults.

00:49:35.060 But anyways, I don't know him personally.

00:49:37.420 I'm just saying that, you know, if you've been making $2,000 and let's say you've been in sales for three years, you're not good.

00:49:44.740 I mean, three years or you haven't gotten the right training, you're not in the right company.

00:49:50.100 That could be it as well.

00:49:51.680 I was in sales.

00:49:52.640 I was selling solar and roofs.

00:49:53.920 I know this.

00:49:55.100 You know, the people who were the most successful, the people who had the innate talent already, they had no problem talking with people.

00:50:01.080 They had no problem bullshitting, you know, having that talk with people, that empty space where, you know, you just got to kind of chat it up.

00:50:08.740 There are people who can't do that.

00:50:10.540 Yeah.

00:50:10.820 You know, they go crazy.

00:50:12.560 They'll have anxiety or start sweating and stuff like that.

00:50:15.060 Yeah.

00:50:15.720 All right.

00:50:16.220 What do we got here?

00:50:18.980 What else?

00:50:19.460 Okay.

00:50:21.040 Oh, Authentically Kennedy.

00:50:22.940 I love you, babe.

00:50:23.760 Putting a little to bed.

00:50:24.980 That's his wife.

00:50:25.360 Love you, too.

00:50:25.760 Shout out to you.

00:50:27.060 Also, WRW Fresh, WMO, WChris, thank you for taking care of my hubby.

00:50:30.160 Hey, anytime, anytime.

00:50:31.360 W.

00:50:31.920 We're going to kidnap him, so he won't go back to Texas.

00:50:34.420 Allegedly.

00:50:35.840 Bro, Frank, we're in the chat.

00:50:36.920 They get too smart.

00:50:37.500 W. Frank.

00:50:37.980 Yeah, he was reading.

00:50:39.240 I love that.

00:50:40.040 For sure.

00:50:41.900 Anything?

00:50:42.380 Okay, cool.

00:50:43.700 Yeah, so, I guess, so, dude, you've been blowing up on YouTube.

00:50:47.600 You know, you've done a fantastic job of, you know, really coming into the space and growing.

00:50:52.940 Can you tell us a little bit about, like, how you got into YouTube, how you were able

00:50:56.740 to scale up your channel and grow so quickly, and I guess, and then we can get into the political

00:51:01.720 stuff as well.

00:51:02.340 Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

00:51:02.900 About your channel.

00:51:05.180 And we could talk a little bit about marriage if we have time.

00:51:07.680 Sure.

00:51:09.100 Yeah, so I do the political commentary on YouTube.

00:51:11.340 We actually have three channels.

00:51:13.440 Number two just crossed over 100,000, Darkin's Breaking News.

00:51:16.600 Let's go.

00:51:16.940 Nice.

00:51:17.420 That is raw clips of congressional hearings, you know, people who don't want any commentary.

00:51:24.500 Anyways, your question is, like, what got me to it about?

00:51:29.120 Yeah, yeah, like, yeah, how'd you get into YouTube?

00:51:30.120 How are you able to scale it up?

00:51:31.240 You know, well, take us through that grind.

00:51:33.400 Yeah, so my wife gets credit here because she kept, like, hey, you need to do this.

00:51:39.500 And I'd be like, nah, I'm good.

00:51:41.600 Because I thought politics was negative.

00:51:43.940 And you're an introvert, right?

00:51:45.200 An introvert, exactly.

00:51:46.640 And I was like, nah, I don't want anybody thinking, you know, I'm crazy or something

00:51:51.200 like that.

00:51:51.500 Because you know how it was, especially two years ago.

00:51:53.740 You start talking like a conservative, and people are like, oh, you know.

00:51:57.960 But I look back at hindsight.

00:51:59.760 Especially as a black dude.

00:52:01.220 Exactly.

00:52:01.780 Especially as a black dude.

00:52:02.600 And you're from California.

00:52:03.760 Exactly.

00:52:04.280 I just read a message today.

00:52:05.780 Someone was calling.

00:52:06.700 Every time, dude.

00:52:07.500 Yeah, every time.

00:52:08.040 So, July 13th rolls around, and it was probably the first time I actually sat down and watched

00:52:16.740 a full Trump rally.

00:52:19.260 Because before then, I was just like, I'd watch people react to it.

00:52:23.400 I'd watch clips.

00:52:25.380 You know, that's how it is today.

00:52:26.640 You scroll your phone, you watch clips, you keep it moving.

00:52:29.220 Well, that was the only day I was like, I'm going to sit down and actually watch and saw

00:52:33.680 the assassination attempt live.

00:52:34.960 I was like, whoa, I'm going to talk about this right now.

00:52:39.560 And from that point on, I never stopped.

00:52:42.540 The videos are all still there.

00:52:44.360 Damn.

00:52:45.160 Yeah.

00:52:45.460 I kept them up there just so people didn't think I was some Russian plant.

00:52:48.840 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:52:50.000 Because people accused, hey, who's this guy?

00:52:52.000 I mean, how did he get, someone's paying him, you know.

00:52:54.300 Yeah, yeah.

00:52:54.700 But what people say, they come up with crazy stuff.

00:52:56.900 It's all on Reddit, you guys.

00:52:58.120 There's a whole thread on me.

00:52:59.420 It's fascinating.

00:53:00.580 But at any rate, so I started and then-

00:53:04.900 This is what year now, roughly?

00:53:07.160 July 13th of 2024.

00:53:09.320 Okay, wow.

00:53:10.320 A year ago, yeah.

00:53:12.140 Huge growth in that time.

00:53:13.140 So now your main channel is like 1.5 or something like that or 1.1?

00:53:16.640 1.1.

00:53:17.680 1.1, okay.

00:53:18.540 If we round it up a little bit.

00:53:19.840 Yeah.

00:53:20.380 Yeah.

00:53:20.840 1.08.

00:53:22.300 But yeah.

00:53:22.900 You know what's funny?

00:53:24.840 Let's thank your wife because without her, you wouldn't be here today.

00:53:27.120 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, helping

00:53:30.520 you get out the comfort zone and doing it now, man.

00:53:32.380 Exactly.

00:53:33.180 So, I guess if you want to give the people, what are your basic political takes on certain

00:53:41.080 topics?

00:53:41.500 You can go into immigration, healthcare, whatever way your views are.

00:53:43.960 Well, overall, I am a Christian, so I believe I wouldn't be where I am without Jesus Christ

00:53:48.420 and God.

00:53:49.740 No question about that.

00:53:51.500 I think science and religion are not in war with each other.

00:53:56.200 I think they actually are explanations of our universe.

00:54:01.760 At any rate, and the other part of scaling on YouTube was just the consistency.

00:54:08.660 But anyways, the point is my position is very clear.

00:54:11.880 This country, now more than ever, needs conservatives in leadership.

00:54:16.420 Why?

00:54:17.180 Because if we don't have conservatives in leadership, progressives are going to take

00:54:20.900 over and then we're really screwed.

00:54:22.760 Now, we're already screwed now, but I guess the question for everybody is, how fast do

00:54:28.220 you want to get screwed?

00:54:29.720 Okay?

00:54:30.200 Yeah, yeah.

00:54:30.780 So, so.

00:54:32.180 You want to accelerate the house fire or not?

00:54:34.180 Exactly.

00:54:34.840 Right?

00:54:35.180 So, I'm not naive.

00:54:36.220 Okay?

00:54:36.500 Um, I know that everybody in the government inherently is corrupt.

00:54:42.240 There's no question about that.

00:54:44.520 So, I believe that, um, we need conservatives because they at least apply some level of

00:54:50.260 restriction, some level of restraint.

00:54:53.140 Hey, let's slow down a little bit here.

00:54:55.380 You know?

00:54:56.540 Progressives are like, yeah, let's just go all the way.

00:54:58.700 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:54:59.140 Hmm.

00:54:59.720 Yeah.

00:54:59.820 Open the border.

00:55:00.160 It's literally the root of the word, preserve versus progress.

00:55:03.240 Exactly.

00:55:03.500 So, yeah.

00:55:03.840 There you go.

00:55:04.360 There you go.

00:55:04.760 It's, it's in the name.

00:55:06.480 Um, so.

00:55:07.460 Oh, go ahead.

00:55:07.820 Also, you're bringing back common sense as well, which is a lost art.

00:55:10.760 Isn't that crazy?

00:55:11.320 That's like what Trump and JD campaigned on, like bringing back common sense.

00:55:14.460 And I'm like, wow, that's where we are.

00:55:15.820 I want to start doing videos about common sense because it's like gone, bro.

00:55:18.240 Americans are so like lost in the sauce.

00:55:20.180 Right.

00:55:20.600 Crazy.

00:55:21.320 So, common sense would tell you today in this world, you need to get your mindset right

00:55:26.400 and you need to get your money right.

00:55:29.120 You don't need to be rich like Elon Musk, but you got to stop spending more than you make.

00:55:34.240 You know, and then you also need to raise your income.

00:55:37.080 But yeah, I, I do believe that we need to have conservatives, um, in leadership.

00:55:43.720 We need people more politically aware about what both sides are saying so they can make

00:55:48.440 informed choices about who they elect, especially at the local level.

00:55:51.700 Case in point in Texas, this was six months ago when they had that rain that flooded and

00:55:58.240 and the people at the park died.

00:56:00.660 They couldn't save them.

00:56:02.400 This is in the middle of Texas.

00:56:04.560 I didn't even hear about this story.

00:56:05.800 Well, what's interesting is when they did the investigation, they found out that the

00:56:10.280 local people had a measure on the ballot like five years before that to put in, uh, an

00:56:17.660 emergency alert system similar to tornadoes and hurricanes, uh, but for flood.

00:56:23.040 And they voted no because they didn't want to pay the extra money.

00:56:27.260 Gotcha.

00:56:28.040 Well, some people believe, and also because some of the permits changed over time that

00:56:32.180 allowed people to stay where they were staying in that park.

00:56:34.820 That is what actually contributed to the amount of deaths that took place.

00:56:39.040 Wow.

00:56:39.320 Because they didn't have that thing in place to potentially notify them ahead of time and

00:56:42.860 when.

00:56:43.020 So I use that example as like federally, you, you probably can't do much about right

00:56:50.080 now, Congress and the president, but you could definitely do something about your local

00:56:54.180 community, your school board, you know, your city council, you could do some stuff there.

00:56:59.400 You can make an impact.

00:57:00.860 Yep.

00:57:01.080 And I think what we need to be advocating all American citizens is get the government out

00:57:06.200 of the way, bring it back to the community, bring it back to family, bring it back to our

00:57:12.000 neighbors, you know, the, the problem, the source of our problem is Congress.

00:57:17.380 I talk about this every day.

00:57:18.840 They want to blame the president for everything.

00:57:21.200 No, Congress is a walking conflict of interests.

00:57:24.560 Of course.

00:57:25.000 They have access to information that allows them to trade stocks and become ultra wealthy.

00:57:30.300 Yeah.

00:57:30.880 That's nuts.

00:57:31.420 Right.

00:57:31.920 That's nuts.

00:57:32.580 And it's not against the law.

00:57:33.860 Yeah.

00:57:34.160 Isn't that considered insider trading a little bit?

00:57:36.300 I just said it.

00:57:37.040 It's not against the law.

00:57:39.520 They wrote the law.

00:57:40.760 Yeah.

00:57:41.060 What, what you're, yeah.

00:57:42.000 What you're saying is true, but for some odd reason, it doesn't apply for them.

00:57:45.700 So what, okay.

00:57:47.660 What if I was friends with some of them and they gave me tips on the side?

00:57:51.260 Oh shit.

00:57:53.100 Is that, is that so like, oh, that's already happened.

00:57:57.260 That's already happened.

00:57:58.580 Yeah.

00:57:58.780 A lot of these politicians, you look at them and it's like, you've been making 170 K per

00:58:02.080 year for the last 10 years.

00:58:03.680 How are you a multi, multi millionaire?

00:58:05.740 Yeah.

00:58:06.160 I mean, what's that, what's that lady's name?

00:58:08.260 Nancy Pelosi.

00:58:08.920 Nancy Pelosi.

00:58:09.500 Yeah.

00:58:09.720 It's called the Pelosi act.

00:58:12.180 They still haven't passed it.

00:58:14.140 Why?

00:58:15.500 Because they're not going to.

00:58:17.300 I didn't even know that was on the book.

00:58:18.440 So it's been drafted.

00:58:19.320 It's, it's sitting around.

00:58:20.140 They just haven't pushed it up.

00:58:20.940 In both chambers, house and Senate.

00:58:23.020 Oh, wow.

00:58:24.060 Yeah.

00:58:25.060 How long has that been around?

00:58:26.540 Cause I haven't heard about it.

00:58:27.100 Many years.

00:58:27.600 Can't keep it.

00:58:28.100 Okay.

00:58:28.680 Yeah.

00:58:28.920 At its finest.

00:58:29.440 There you go.

00:58:29.740 Yep.

00:58:30.100 Yeah.

00:58:30.760 So I, I think.

00:58:32.180 Let's see.

00:58:32.460 I never get past.

00:58:33.000 I think that for everybody out there protesting, no Kings and all this bullshit.

00:58:38.640 Can I curse on?

00:58:39.300 Yeah.

00:58:39.620 Okay.

00:58:40.540 First fit, baby.

00:58:41.180 I try to keep it clean on my channel, but I'm going to tell you how I feel.

00:58:43.960 Yeah.

00:58:44.180 All these people protesting this bullshit at no Kings protests, the, what they should be

00:58:48.340 doing is protesting the entire government.

00:58:50.440 Yeah.

00:58:51.400 Because Democrats too, and you want to talk about corrupt.

00:58:55.080 What error had one of the biggest wealth transfers in history?

00:58:58.820 Ooh.

00:59:00.200 The housing crash probably.

00:59:01.700 Obama error?

00:59:02.180 COVID.

00:59:02.620 Oh, well, yeah, of course.

00:59:03.540 Yeah.

00:59:04.000 Yeah.

00:59:04.360 That was another one.

00:59:04.760 Tell them.

00:59:05.140 So these billionaires that they say need to pay their fair share.

00:59:08.160 Oh, the billionaires that you've made rich.

00:59:10.720 Yeah.

00:59:11.760 Ah.

00:59:12.200 The mask mandates and the vaccines.

00:59:14.120 So just to add to your point, there was a guy in Florida though.

00:59:17.980 He bought one of my cars.

00:59:22.280 Okay.

00:59:23.260 And.

00:59:23.920 Exotic.

00:59:24.440 The guy knew COVID was going to happen two years before.

00:59:28.960 And they bought a bunch of toiletry, a bunch of Medicare, medical equipment to sell

00:59:34.720 before it happened.

00:59:36.080 And I'm like, nigga, who told you this?

00:59:37.860 There was a post on X of someone in 2014 saying the coronavirus is coming.

00:59:43.900 How would they know that?

00:59:44.860 Yeah.

00:59:45.360 So they knew it's happening before.

00:59:47.360 And they prepared for it.

00:59:48.840 I made a bunch of money.

00:59:49.660 I'm like, damn.

00:59:50.980 Why didn't nobody tell me, nigga?

00:59:52.500 Come on, bro.

00:59:53.740 I'm cool too, bro.

00:59:55.160 Right.

00:59:55.540 Shit, just saying.

00:59:56.360 No, for real.

00:59:57.080 I mean, all you have to do is look at the stock or, you know, S&P 500 as an example

01:00:03.960 from 2021 to 2024.

01:00:06.540 Look at the price of homes from 2021 to 2024.

01:00:10.140 Exploded.

01:00:11.320 Especially in Florida and Austin and some of these other really hot real estate markets.

01:00:14.620 So you got these people on the left complaining about billionaires when it's their billionaires

01:00:19.240 who profited the most during COVID.

01:00:22.880 Yeah.

01:00:23.700 Democrats were overwhelmingly supportive of mass mandates, lockdowns, social distancing.

01:00:30.840 So they were literally exactly what they accused President Trump of being.

01:00:34.620 They were tyrannical.

01:00:35.900 When you're kicking people out of the military because they refused to take a vaccine that

01:00:40.760 we know was not actually studied thoroughly.

01:00:45.400 Is that not tyrannical?

01:00:47.220 Yeah.

01:00:48.520 I'm glad that Hexeth got a lot of those people back.

01:00:51.580 And I think they came back with back pay, right?

01:00:53.320 I believe so.

01:00:54.080 Yeah.

01:00:54.520 Yeah.

01:00:55.440 I haven't been able to actually confirm, but that's what the policy.

01:00:59.180 I saw the memo on that.

01:01:01.300 Yeah.

01:01:01.700 Yeah.

01:01:01.900 Um, so I don't even know where we're actually going.

01:01:06.040 Oh, we're talking about the Democrats who were the ones that were responsible for the

01:01:09.080 lockdowns.

01:01:09.520 Yeah.

01:01:09.660 So, so at any rate, my, my political positions is that we need to get back to community based,

01:01:17.120 uh, initiatives, solutions, like air traffic controllers.

01:01:22.680 Why does the federal government fund air traffic controllers?

01:01:26.280 That at a minimum should be 50, 50, 50 government, 50 private.

01:01:30.260 But, well, yeah, that, that, I mean, because I was traveling a lot over the past like month

01:01:35.160 or so.

01:01:35.620 Yeah.

01:01:35.740 And dude, like it, the government shutdown, like literally every flight was delayed or

01:01:40.840 canceled.

01:01:41.660 Like it was really painful to fly over if you've been traveling like the past month or so.

01:01:46.160 Government shutdowns absolutely decimate.

01:01:47.640 And then as it was going on and on, it was getting worse and worse and worse.

01:01:50.660 We hit the record of like, I think 41 or 42 days of a government shutdown.

01:01:54.580 Yeah.

01:01:54.680 And they're canceling flights left and right, man.

01:01:56.920 So you had a political party willing to make federal employees hurt to prove a point.

01:02:03.040 Yeah.

01:02:04.120 They'll do it again, January 30th, because that's when it expires again.

01:02:07.580 Yep.

01:02:08.500 You want to explain to kind of tell them a bit, a little bit about the government shutdown,

01:02:12.300 how that came in and what, what led to that?

01:02:14.880 Yeah.

01:02:15.420 You can give a quick summary of it.

01:02:16.420 Yeah.

01:02:16.540 It's not a partisan explanation.

01:02:18.320 It's very simple.

01:02:18.960 The federal government has a budget just like everybody should in some way, shape or form,

01:02:22.920 unless you make enough money.

01:02:25.680 Anyways, so you have a budget for the federal government and they're so incompetent that

01:02:30.160 these budgets only last for so long.

01:02:32.480 Yeah.

01:02:32.900 You know, they always overspend.

01:02:34.300 Exactly.

01:02:35.060 So they can never agree on like a two year budget.

01:02:37.700 They can't even agree on a one year budget.

01:02:39.880 They can only agree at this point, three, six months at a time.

01:02:45.240 So that's how it goes, bro.

01:02:46.320 It's crazy.

01:02:46.860 It's fascinating.

01:02:47.400 So, and they're, and, and they're literally, they're literally debating.

01:02:51.820 I wish more Americans knew this.

01:02:53.440 Like, I don't think a lot of Americans know that like, bro, these dudes are meeting every

01:02:57.040 three to six months trying to figure out a budget because they're just so inept in this.

01:03:00.100 Right.

01:03:01.040 So that's, that's one part.

01:03:03.020 Then throw in the mix, the fact that each side has their own like priorities they want

01:03:08.140 to throw in there.

01:03:09.540 So when people were hearing about a clean CR continuing resolution, which is we are voting

01:03:15.880 to continue the same level of spending.

01:03:20.740 That's what a continuing resolution is with the word clean in front.

01:03:24.960 Um, and usually it doesn't happen that way.

01:03:28.500 Usually the party in charge, they'll throw something in there.

01:03:31.180 Like they actually did that when the Senate, uh, voted for it, they threw in, uh, these

01:03:38.080 eight GOP, uh, senators who wanted to sue the federal government for being spied on during

01:03:43.340 the Biden administration for 500,000.

01:03:46.600 Yeah.

01:03:47.040 It's not going to happen, but I'm telling you, these people are corrupt.

01:03:50.600 Yeah.

01:03:51.260 Um, and I know the big thing, uh, that the Democrats were pissed off that kind of led to

01:03:55.280 this last shutdown is they weren't happy with the big, beautiful bill.

01:03:58.400 Uh, and, um, from what I understand, it was a Schumer was one of the main guys that was

01:04:02.720 stonewalling it.

01:04:03.420 Well, if we go back to 2022, the Biden administration passed a provision that would give health care

01:04:09.920 to, and their language is undocumented migrants.

01:04:13.880 Yeah.

01:04:14.480 Now we already know what that means.

01:04:16.160 It's a free for all.

01:04:17.400 Okay.

01:04:18.260 One big, beautiful bill comes around and strips that away.

01:04:21.380 Yep.

01:04:22.000 And increases immigration enforcement.

01:04:23.840 Right.

01:04:24.360 Which is why they put up a fight.

01:04:25.480 So the, the CR that caused the government shutdown was the, uh, existing spending that they voted

01:04:33.120 on during the one big, beautiful bill back in March.

01:04:35.820 Yep.

01:04:36.180 And so that's why the Democrats were trying to get that back in there.

01:04:40.340 That, that was never going to work.

01:04:42.520 Just no, that's basically, let's just throw out the one big, beautiful bill then if we're

01:04:47.160 going to do that.

01:04:47.760 So Republicans aren't going to go for it.

01:04:50.120 Uh, any rate, they, uh, tried that didn't work.

01:04:53.540 And ultimately it got to the point where eight Senate Democrats did the right thing, which

01:05:00.300 is to get the government back open.

01:05:01.840 Let me just say the bottom line here.

01:05:03.440 The government should never be closed.

01:05:06.300 This is why I said Congress is the issue.

01:05:08.360 Why they haven't passed a piece of legislation that says if we can't agree on the CR, then

01:05:14.700 it just stays in place.

01:05:16.200 No government shutdown.

01:05:17.540 Yeah.

01:05:17.740 Spending stays exactly where it is.

01:05:19.600 If we're going to agree, it's to agree to increase or decrease.

01:05:23.360 Yeah.

01:05:23.540 But what we're not going to do is hold innocent Americans who work for the federal government

01:05:28.000 hostage.

01:05:28.620 Yep.

01:05:28.840 They don't get paid during that time.

01:05:30.120 Exactly.

01:05:30.620 And then they still got to go to work if they're considered essential.

01:05:33.400 Because I remember in 2018, I was working for the government and we had a big, that was

01:05:36.600 actually the, at the time, the longest shutdown.

01:05:38.800 It's the second longest now since this last one.

01:05:41.660 And, uh, it lasted like a month.

01:05:43.440 And, uh, you know, you, if you're an essential employee, like law enforcement, whatever, you still

01:05:47.200 got to go to work, even if you're not getting paid.

01:05:49.380 Obviously you get back pay when everything's all said and done, you get the back pay, but that

01:05:52.480 sucks because a lot of people don't know what they're going to do and how they're going to

01:05:55.260 make money and bills still are coming.

01:05:56.520 You still got to pay all your bills.

01:05:57.440 Yep.

01:05:57.620 Yeah.

01:05:57.820 Also people think about credit cards because they can't pay that much.

01:06:00.540 So it's kind of like, you kind of fuck them.

01:06:01.940 Yeah.

01:06:02.140 You put them in a bad spot.

01:06:03.400 Household debt is at an all time record high.

01:06:06.060 Right now.

01:06:06.460 Yeah.

01:06:07.020 Car defaults.

01:06:08.060 Car repos.

01:06:08.400 Yep.

01:06:08.780 All time high.

01:06:09.420 Highest ever, by the way.

01:06:10.820 Commercial real estate.

01:06:11.580 They actually estimate 3 million repos recorded and it's here.

01:06:16.500 Highest ever in history.

01:06:17.440 3 million repos by the end of this year?

01:06:19.100 Yeah.

01:06:19.480 Highest in history.

01:06:19.780 What is it normal, uh, normally in other years?

01:06:21.580 1.5.

01:06:22.380 Oh, so we're talking about doubling.

01:06:23.740 Double.

01:06:24.220 Okay.

01:06:24.560 It's bad, bro.

01:06:24.880 So that's why DeVore has been saying step one is what?

01:06:30.700 What's that one?

01:06:31.620 Thank you.

01:06:32.080 There you go.

01:06:32.340 It's mindset, right?

01:06:32.940 Step two is financial literacy.

01:06:34.840 Get your money up.

01:06:35.900 Yep.

01:06:36.060 So hopefully the federal employees learn a valuable lesson.

01:06:40.180 Yeah.

01:06:40.820 This is what happens.

01:06:41.980 They, they, we grow up being slave to, you know, the government and salaries and I think

01:06:48.780 it's a new economy.

01:06:49.640 I, I don't, I don't think people should be approaching the economy like we used to 50 years

01:06:53.180 ago.

01:06:53.640 I don't think it's like get a nine to five, call it a day.

01:06:56.640 Yeah.

01:06:57.160 I think it's like, you got to do both nine to five and a little entrepreneurship.

01:07:01.920 Yeah.

01:07:02.440 On the side, make some extra money.

01:07:04.660 I mean, how else?

01:07:05.760 Yeah.

01:07:07.060 Yeah.

01:07:07.560 And with AI coming in, you know what I mean?

01:07:09.540 Exactly.

01:07:10.060 You got to constantly sharpen yourself and have other skill sets because other than that,

01:07:13.420 it's going to be very difficult.

01:07:14.620 Exactly.

01:07:16.140 Here, let's, you want us to read some of these chats or?

01:07:19.680 We got one.

01:07:20.300 Okay.

01:07:20.500 We got one.

01:07:21.020 What time are we?

01:07:21.420 Real quick.

01:07:22.020 Okay.

01:07:22.960 That's 1025 now.

01:07:25.060 DeVore, thoughts on Jesse Lee Peterson from Mike Young?

01:07:28.960 I would say an OG.

01:07:31.720 One of the originals, actually.

01:07:33.180 Yeah, he was.

01:07:33.940 One of the originals.

01:07:35.020 Could you talk about-

01:07:35.940 And you know what?

01:07:36.340 Hold on real quick.

01:07:37.520 He's actually you times 100.

01:07:40.380 Yeah, yeah.

01:07:40.800 Just, he's funny.

01:07:41.540 I've seen a lot of his stuff.

01:07:42.740 Really?

01:07:42.840 He's been in the game for a while.

01:07:43.860 Jesse Lee Peterson.

01:07:44.300 Have you ever, have you ever heard of him talk to people?

01:07:46.760 Yeah.

01:07:46.980 Like, he really, he purposely says certain things to really get that reaction.

01:07:51.620 Like, he's old, though.

01:07:52.920 I know, but-

01:07:53.480 So, make it funnier.

01:07:53.840 I just watched one where he was debating a feminist, and she, like, was about to pass

01:07:58.620 out.

01:08:00.280 Because he was just-

01:08:01.140 I'm following him, bro.

01:08:01.720 Yeah.

01:08:02.760 Yeah.

01:08:03.360 Yeah.

01:08:04.460 So, go ahead.

01:08:05.100 Go ahead.

01:08:05.540 Real quick.

01:08:06.560 Let's talk about relationships.

01:08:07.840 Yeah.

01:08:08.040 Right?

01:08:08.480 Yeah.

01:08:10.740 How old are you?

01:08:11.480 You said 37.

01:08:11.860 37.

01:08:12.260 37.

01:08:13.060 How would you say a young man now can find a wife?

01:08:15.880 Because, bro, out here in the streets, there's nothing good.

01:08:18.680 Right.

01:08:18.840 And it's a bunch of, like, you know, grunts running around trying to act like they're, you

01:08:22.580 know, level 100.

01:08:23.800 How do you actually navigate now?

01:08:26.020 Because, obviously, you've seen our show, you've seen After Hours, how girls operate,

01:08:29.120 and it's chaos.

01:08:30.480 How would a young man operate now to get a wife, you would say?

01:08:32.760 How should he navigate?

01:08:33.620 When you say young man, what age?

01:08:36.840 Let's say between 25 and 30.

01:08:42.280 I would argue he shouldn't be looking for a wife during that time.

01:08:45.160 Okay.

01:08:46.060 I would argue he shouldn't get a wife until he's 30, in his 30s.

01:08:50.720 Bam.

01:08:51.160 Good advice.

01:08:51.680 Agreed.

01:08:51.960 My wife is nine years younger than me.

01:08:55.140 W?

01:08:56.340 Best decision ever.

01:08:58.840 Best decision ever.

01:09:00.680 Not because I'm trying to control her and, you know, all this other nonsense that they

01:09:05.200 say.

01:09:05.340 How dare you?

01:09:05.940 It's that she hasn't been poisoned by society yet at that age.

01:09:10.960 She still has an optimistic mindset.

01:09:13.100 Open-minded.

01:09:14.440 Willing to try things.

01:09:15.400 Go places.

01:09:16.080 Right?

01:09:17.540 You try to date someone in your 30s and they're 30, you're dealing with someone who

01:09:21.600 step one probably didn't get their mindset right.

01:09:24.460 Trauma.

01:09:24.940 So they probably have issues.

01:09:27.620 And you're, that means you're pretty much going to go to war every day.

01:09:31.200 How long have you guys been together?

01:09:33.800 Five years.

01:09:34.600 Yeah.

01:09:35.260 Yeah.

01:09:35.660 Nice.

01:09:35.900 Six.

01:09:36.780 Married for three.

01:09:37.560 Um, and so my advice for men would be your 20s should be about developing yourself mentally,

01:09:46.720 spiritually, physically, and gathering as many skills as you practically can.

01:09:52.240 Um, so the only way that gets derailed is when you get caught up with women.

01:09:58.580 Yeah.

01:09:59.280 I say this all the time.

01:10:00.720 It's one of the biggest distractions for young men.

01:10:01.960 I say this all the time.

01:10:04.900 A turnoff for me as a business guy is when I'm dealing with a dude who's caught up with

01:10:10.400 women all the time.

01:10:11.380 It's a distraction.

01:10:13.440 Right?

01:10:13.840 So when you have money to make, you have business to conduct, you're not trying to

01:10:17.620 do business with someone who's like getting into a fight with some girl like five minutes

01:10:21.700 earlier.

01:10:22.520 You're trying to lay, man, we got stuff to do.

01:10:24.240 Like, I'm not, I don't need that.

01:10:26.200 You know, that's just me.

01:10:27.900 I think a lot of people in the business world are that way.

01:10:30.220 That doesn't mean, you know, men who have options can't go out there and get women.

01:10:34.280 It's just that, uh, younger men who are not mature in that way.

01:10:38.840 I think they need to develop their skills.

01:10:40.960 They need to be of service.

01:10:42.120 They need to get around high value men as they practically can, men who are successful.

01:10:47.100 And then when they get to their thirties, when their finances are in order, because remember

01:10:50.840 men develop later in life than women.

01:10:54.480 So when I hear of a 21 year old who's trying to, um, um, you know, get married, get married

01:11:02.740 or whatever, I'm like, nah, unless, hold on, exception.

01:11:07.500 He has good parents.

01:11:08.680 Yeah.

01:11:09.220 There's always going to be exceptions, but in general, yeah.

01:11:11.200 Like getting married young nowadays as a guy is, is a very dangerous proposition.

01:11:14.480 Yeah.

01:11:15.080 You know, uh, with feminism and everything else like that.

01:11:17.840 Yeah.

01:11:18.120 Exactly.

01:11:18.420 You know?

01:11:18.960 So you, you get to 30 credits, better finances is better about time.

01:11:24.860 You probably figured out your career, whatever.

01:11:26.540 Yep.

01:11:27.020 So you can financially take on that.

01:11:29.260 Yeah.

01:11:29.500 You know, that it's, it's, it's not 50 years ago where you could get married at 18, get

01:11:35.180 a job and you're good.

01:11:36.420 Yep.

01:11:36.760 You can't do that today.

01:11:37.880 Time's changed.

01:11:38.540 Yep.

01:11:38.680 Yeah.

01:11:39.280 And again, I was just talking about this on my show, an 18 year old man today, compare

01:11:46.420 him to an 18 year old from 1960.

01:11:49.580 Big difference.

01:11:52.740 Big difference.

01:11:53.340 Big, big difference.

01:11:55.160 One is prepared for the world.

01:11:56.960 The other is not.

01:11:57.780 Yep.

01:11:58.080 Yeah.

01:11:58.520 That's why I say inherently that he's, he's got to wait till he's 30.

01:12:01.620 Yep.

01:12:01.900 And the women, it's just so, I watch this, your guys' show and I'm just, I'm laughing

01:12:06.600 because I'm like, like they don't understand.

01:12:09.940 If I, if I was a woman and I was 19, like I would be looking for someone 30.

01:12:15.420 Yeah.

01:12:16.420 Why would I waste my time with someone who's 20?

01:12:18.840 Yeah.

01:12:19.160 Yeah.

01:12:19.800 He can't, like he's probably living at home with his boys.

01:12:22.740 Like that doesn't make any sense.

01:12:24.400 Yep.

01:12:24.820 And so you're trying to place expectation on someone that he's not going to be able to

01:12:28.840 meet that.

01:12:29.320 Yeah.

01:12:29.480 That doesn't make any sense.

01:12:30.420 There's a financial burden that comes with dealing with women.

01:12:33.940 Yeah.

01:12:34.060 Obviously, you know, day to day, of course, and then of course, long term that most people

01:12:39.040 are not ready for.

01:12:40.140 And this is why like in business and corporate, people think you're serious when you're married

01:12:44.280 to somebody.

01:12:44.860 Right.

01:12:45.160 Because they know you can take care of your family and you're grounded in that sense.

01:12:48.840 Now.

01:12:49.040 That's a big part of promotion.

01:12:49.980 A hundred percent.

01:12:50.980 Now, nowadays.

01:12:52.020 Unless you're cheating on your wife at an event and you show up on the screen.

01:12:56.260 Ah.

01:12:56.940 What's that guy's name?

01:12:58.420 Ah, the CEO dude.

01:13:00.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:13:01.060 Hugged up.

01:13:01.380 At a fucking Coldplay concert.

01:13:03.020 Yeah, Coldplay.

01:13:03.720 There we go.

01:13:04.120 Bro, cooks.

01:13:04.940 Bro, it's already bad enough you're at a Coldplay concert.

01:13:07.300 But caught at a Coldplay concert.

01:13:08.760 Life.

01:13:09.320 And?

01:13:09.780 Yeah.

01:13:10.320 Was it Coldplay or was it U2?

01:13:11.780 No, it was Coldplay.

01:13:12.500 It was Coldplay.

01:13:12.900 Coldplay.

01:13:13.320 Yeah.

01:13:13.800 Okay.

01:13:14.020 Go ahead.

01:13:14.340 One of these crappy bands from the early 2000s.

01:13:16.320 So, as I progress, man, I will say this though.

01:13:20.320 People on my own now are either with somebody long term where it's like they're serious or

01:13:25.540 they're married.

01:13:26.380 Yeah.

01:13:26.720 The whole running around, doing the whole like Playboy stuff, it's played out, bro.

01:13:30.360 At least on my end.

01:13:31.280 Well, I think it falls into the category of living a materialistic life.

01:13:36.300 Sooner or later, it gets old.

01:13:37.860 You know?

01:13:38.480 You could buy all the cars, the clothes, the women, but that's why I said it goes back to

01:13:43.100 purpose, right?

01:13:43.780 So, I still believe in marriage, but only for the people who are mature enough for it.

01:13:50.060 You know?

01:13:50.940 I love being here, but I love this more.

01:14:00.040 You know what I mean?

01:14:00.880 I love this more.

01:14:01.840 Yeah.

01:14:02.060 Love you.

01:14:02.440 So, like everywhere I go, I'm like, like when I was leaving the house, I was like, you

01:14:08.220 know?

01:14:08.600 Because I'm going to miss my son.

01:14:10.200 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:14:10.580 You know?

01:14:10.820 I'm going to miss my wife.

01:14:11.780 You know?

01:14:12.060 So, and it's an emotion you can't explain to people unless you have, unless they have kids.

01:14:17.200 And that's not to, you know, say someone's wrong for not having them.

01:14:20.700 It's just, you know, it's just-

01:14:21.980 You don't know until you actually have it.

01:14:23.420 You'll never be able to.

01:14:23.980 It's, you can't even describe it to someone that doesn't.

01:14:26.180 It's a different game, a different life, and I find it, I look at it as more of a privilege

01:14:31.600 to continue to work on myself, because patience is the utmost challenge every day when you have

01:14:36.740 kids.

01:14:38.840 And, you know, marriage-wise, I'm lucky.

01:14:41.720 I mean, she's great, man.

01:14:44.360 Yeah.

01:14:44.560 I never feel like I'm going to war with her.

01:14:46.700 Yeah.

01:14:47.200 You know?

01:14:48.000 No, I-

01:14:48.500 I feel like she's next to me.

01:14:49.400 That's huge.

01:14:49.660 That's one of the hardest things, man, especially in today's day and age, like finding a girl that's

01:14:52.940 like, you know, going to add value and support you.

01:14:54.700 And, you know, it's tough nowadays, man.

01:14:57.840 But she's encouraging you, which created YouTube.

01:15:02.320 That's huge, bro.

01:15:03.260 Yeah.

01:15:03.640 You know, and I was going to be successful regardless.

01:15:06.380 Regardless.

01:15:06.860 Yeah, regardless.

01:15:07.180 Because that's just who I am.

01:15:09.560 It was just only a matter of time, in my opinion.

01:15:11.560 That's just my belief system.

01:15:14.000 I just don't think you go through all that and you're not successful in the end.

01:15:17.260 I think God had a plan for me.

01:15:18.820 But at any rate, she was part of it.

01:15:20.320 The point being is that for people out there in this terrible dating market, because there's

01:15:24.340 no question that it's like, it's like accelerated, man.

01:15:27.400 Yeah.

01:15:27.940 You know what I mean?

01:15:28.340 Like every day it's like, man, this is 10 times worse than it was here.

01:15:31.500 You know?

01:15:32.800 But DeVore, you know who messed up, though?

01:15:34.660 Who?

01:15:34.860 That really needs to shout out?

01:15:36.560 Our friend Akash.

01:15:37.980 That was the wrong wife and took the L, bro.

01:15:41.360 Oh, man.

01:15:42.560 It's a great example.

01:15:44.120 It's a great example.

01:15:44.900 Oh, another Akash.

01:15:45.840 Career's over, brother.

01:15:46.940 My wife knows my biggest pet peeve ever.

01:15:50.180 If you talk about our marriage to anyone, that's already done.

01:15:55.940 Good point.

01:15:56.840 Yeah.

01:15:57.180 Because that is a sacred bond and we together should be able to figure whatever issues out

01:16:02.560 together.

01:16:03.320 Unless, you know, you need some counseling with your pastor or something like that.

01:16:05.360 No, that's so true.

01:16:06.040 Something like that.

01:16:06.560 Because like, let's say a girl hypothetically goes to her friends to complain about her husband,

01:16:10.400 right?

01:16:10.620 Right.

01:16:11.140 You guys solved the issue behind the closed doors.

01:16:13.820 Your friend doesn't know that, though.

01:16:15.300 Yeah.

01:16:15.620 Exactly.

01:16:15.680 So in her mind, she's thinking you're still fighting with her or whatever.

01:16:19.620 And when she dispenses advice, she's dispensing advice from a position where, oh, he did this

01:16:24.220 to you last time not knowing that y'all dropped that a while ago.

01:16:27.420 So it not only morphs like your situation, but it morphs her mindset so that they're more

01:16:33.820 toxic to think, oh, this guy's the worst thing ever.

01:16:35.880 When in reality, they don't know everything going on.

01:16:37.340 So I agree with you.

01:16:38.080 Like, you know, a woman sharing her marriage details or complaining about her husband to

01:16:43.180 her friends, it's the worst thing you can do.

01:16:45.260 Yeah.

01:16:45.840 And here's the other thing.

01:16:46.700 They're only getting the bad.

01:16:47.380 They're never getting the good a lot of the times.

01:16:48.800 Right.

01:16:49.260 So this speaks to, I think, the problem you guys are attempting to solve, but only for

01:16:54.160 people who are open-minded.

01:16:55.760 We've come to a point in, what is it, human existence where we like literally don't understand

01:17:01.600 each other at all.

01:17:03.420 Men don't understand women.

01:17:04.600 Women don't understand men.

01:17:06.920 So how are you going to be successful?

01:17:08.640 What is the art of war?

01:17:09.920 If I understand my enemy, but I don't understand myself, I'm still going to lose.

01:17:13.520 Yeah.

01:17:13.840 Yeah.

01:17:14.060 Right?

01:17:14.520 If I understand my enemy and I understand myself, I'm going to win a thousand battles.

01:17:19.140 These people don't understand each other.

01:17:20.800 No wonder they can't figure it out.

01:17:23.380 Yeah.

01:17:23.540 I guarantee you bring this woman on tonight.

01:17:25.140 The number one question is, hey, do you understand men?

01:17:28.340 No.

01:17:28.600 Do you understand what a successful relationship is?

01:17:32.220 No.

01:17:32.700 Do you even care?

01:17:33.780 No.

01:17:33.860 Yeah.

01:17:34.000 Do you even care?

01:17:34.740 No.

01:17:35.460 Oh, here's a better one.

01:17:36.820 Have you even learned what is required to have a successful relationship?

01:17:41.100 No.

01:17:42.160 But if I asked them, hey, do you know how to have a successful OnlyFans?

01:17:46.700 Yes.

01:17:47.140 So imagine if they applied that same level of energy, focus, and attention to what they're

01:17:53.380 biologically designed to do, how successful they could be.

01:17:57.060 Do you know there's this common trend now on TikTok where they're saying having a man is

01:18:00.800 an L?

01:18:01.460 Like women are saying, you know what?

01:18:03.080 You have a boyfriend?

01:18:03.900 That's you.

01:18:04.620 And I'm like, wait a second.

01:18:06.080 Husband and boyfriend that's helping you move forward in life, taking care of you is

01:18:08.600 a bad thing?

01:18:09.160 Right.

01:18:09.480 And they're saying it could be so much more fun if you were single.

01:18:12.620 And I'm like, hold on a second here.

01:18:14.200 It's the sister Uber Alice.

01:18:15.140 Now you go out with your girlfriend that has a boyfriend, or you're lame, you don't

01:18:18.920 want to twerk and have fun, you're not cool anymore.

01:18:21.220 So being single is a new meta now for girls to have fun.

01:18:23.860 Yeah.

01:18:24.260 It is more propaganda to minimize men in this world.

01:18:30.480 And, excuse me, feminism is a form of being a progressive, right, Byron?

01:18:36.560 Yeah, absolutely.

01:18:37.620 Excuse me.

01:18:38.520 Right?

01:18:39.040 I mean, that's literally what it is.

01:18:40.780 I think it's like the spearhead of all progressive movements.

01:18:42.900 It always started with feminism.

01:18:44.500 Right.

01:18:45.500 So if you're telling men that they're not good, which is why Democrats have lost men

01:18:49.740 entirely, what do you expect men to do?

01:18:54.500 To disengage.

01:18:55.880 Yep.

01:18:56.420 Right?

01:18:56.780 They're not going to go where they're not welcomed.

01:18:59.540 Yeah.

01:19:00.040 It's fascinating.

01:19:01.080 It's, again, there's a lot of common ground between men and women, but only for the men

01:19:05.800 and women who want to see that.

01:19:08.460 You know what I mean?

01:19:09.000 Like, we're supposed to complement each other.

01:19:10.980 We're the opposite of the same coin.

01:19:13.080 Yeah.

01:19:13.440 But you got women today trying to dominate both sides of the coin.

01:19:16.720 That's not going to work.

01:19:18.120 Yeah.

01:19:19.440 Now, Ken, a woman today, obviously, I think you were saying this the other day, Myron,

01:19:23.620 they're going to outpace men as far as finances are concerned.

01:19:26.360 Yeah.

01:19:27.100 Yeah.

01:19:27.300 I foresee in the next 10 to 20 years, women are going to start earning more than men

01:19:30.320 in general.

01:19:30.820 Yeah.

01:19:31.260 It's already starting in some cities across the U.S.

01:19:33.320 Because they're graduating at a higher rate in college.

01:19:34.900 But I would say this, though.

01:19:36.180 They're not out-earning men, but when they spend the money, they don't know how to properly

01:19:40.280 invest it.

01:19:40.740 So they go buy a single-family house that they overpay for, and they get whacked later

01:19:45.520 on.

01:19:46.000 They'll earn more, but they won't be in a better financial situation.

01:19:48.800 Yeah.

01:19:49.120 But see, here's the reality.

01:19:52.300 A hundred years from now, what is the chances any of us will be remembered?

01:19:58.180 Very few.

01:19:59.660 Slim.

01:20:00.280 Yeah.

01:20:00.560 Yeah.

01:20:00.800 Single-digit, probably.

01:20:02.020 Yeah.

01:20:02.400 And then go 200 years.

01:20:04.460 Oh, yeah.

01:20:04.840 We're cooked.

01:20:06.160 So.

01:20:07.000 Fresh and who?

01:20:07.880 Exactly.

01:20:08.560 DeVore who?

01:20:09.280 Right?

01:20:09.400 DeVore who?

01:20:09.720 So, why not get back to your purpose, right?

01:20:15.300 Which is like, again, men are protectors, providers, leaders.

01:20:21.900 Women are the nurturers, the supporters, and balance out the equation.

01:20:27.420 We need to get back to that.

01:20:29.440 That's why we have low birth rates.

01:20:31.640 Super low.

01:20:32.480 Super low.

01:20:33.960 High record of freezing eggs.

01:20:36.440 High record of women being depressed.

01:20:39.260 I think the number clinically, not, I think she is depressed, clinically depressed, over

01:20:44.980 30%.

01:20:46.000 Interesting.

01:20:47.260 Highest in history.

01:20:48.760 30% of women are clinically depressed.

01:20:50.620 Clinically depressed.

01:20:52.460 Holy.

01:20:53.880 Hey, man.

01:20:54.480 That's a...

01:20:55.240 We don't miss.

01:20:55.880 I want to get that stat.

01:20:56.780 I'll use that one next time.

01:20:57.600 We don't miss.

01:20:58.040 I didn't know it was that high.

01:20:58.880 So, if feminism was the solution, why does the result say the opposite?

01:21:03.340 Yeah.

01:21:04.760 Yeah, they're more free now than ever before.

01:21:06.300 It should be the golden age for them, right?

01:21:07.820 That's what I said.

01:21:08.680 In order to get something, you have to give something up.

01:21:11.060 So, women wanted more freedom, but what did they give up?

01:21:13.760 Their happiness.

01:21:14.520 Happiness.

01:21:15.420 Their sense of purpose.

01:21:16.320 I mean, even men understand this.

01:21:20.860 We can make a lot of money, but if I don't feel like I have a purpose, like, hey, I'm

01:21:25.820 providing, I'm paying other people's lifestyle, right, or livelihood, I'm paying for other

01:21:30.360 families, my boys, you know, whatever.

01:21:33.540 Like, you want to feel like you're doing something to advance human...

01:21:38.380 Civilization.

01:21:39.080 Yeah, civilization.

01:21:40.840 So...

01:21:41.020 You need to be useful.

01:21:41.960 Guys need to feel that feeling of, like, I'm useful to society.

01:21:44.320 Exactly.

01:21:45.080 What is the return on investment with feminism?

01:21:47.840 What is the return on investment with OnlyFans?

01:21:49.860 There is none.

01:21:51.060 Now, I'll tell you what the return on investment is.

01:21:53.760 The people who own it.

01:21:54.920 Yeah.

01:21:55.940 They love it.

01:21:57.480 Yeah.

01:21:58.420 No?

01:21:59.080 Yeah.

01:21:59.440 No, they definitely love it.

01:22:00.540 Okay, now here you go.

01:22:01.520 Send that money to Israel after.

01:22:02.760 Who owns it?

01:22:03.980 Oh, we know.

01:22:05.640 He's one of them boys.

01:22:06.920 Yeah.

01:22:07.720 Well, on YouTube, so I won't go too crazy, but yeah, he's a big donor for the IDF, too.

01:22:10.840 Okay, there you go.

01:22:11.460 That guy.

01:22:11.940 That's big tech.

01:22:12.460 No, but he's from...

01:22:14.900 What's his race?

01:22:17.460 He's Jewish.

01:22:19.340 Is he?

01:22:19.900 Yeah.

01:22:20.320 I thought it was an Indian who owned it.

01:22:22.120 OnlyFans?

01:22:22.960 No, YouTube.

01:22:23.600 Neil.

01:22:24.260 Oh, he's talking about YouTube or OnlyFans?

01:22:25.540 OnlyFans.

01:22:26.180 OnlyFans.

01:22:26.740 Yeah, it's Radalski.

01:22:28.460 We could pull him up.

01:22:29.280 He's a Jewish dude.

01:22:30.020 I think he's maybe British.

01:22:30.760 I think he's on YouTube.

01:22:31.940 YouTube is Neil Mahan.

01:22:33.440 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:22:33.960 Or is it Pornhub that's owned by...

01:22:35.900 Oh, that's owned by Rabbi, too.

01:22:37.560 Okay.

01:22:37.880 Every single time.

01:22:41.360 Well, the point still remains, guys.

01:22:43.140 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:22:43.620 They're making the money, and, you know...

01:22:46.860 They're taking hell.

01:22:48.260 Well, civilization is being eroded right in front of our eyes.

01:22:52.060 Mm-hmm.

01:22:52.860 Yeah, that's probably one of the biggest...

01:22:54.320 One of the most pernicious things in society that's, like, completely legal and totally

01:22:59.800 available everywhere that creates a lot of problems.

01:23:02.200 Like, so many guys are addicted to corn.

01:23:04.080 It's nuts.

01:23:06.740 You...

01:23:07.260 Oh, go ahead.

01:23:07.820 You know what's scary about society nowadays?

01:23:09.780 Because I'm outside pretty often.

01:23:11.820 You know.

01:23:13.080 You know what I see?

01:23:14.180 What?

01:23:14.440 I see people that are so caught up in being happy in the moment, they forget long-term

01:23:20.540 what's important.

01:23:21.940 Yeah.

01:23:22.320 Because I'm sober, right, when I go out.

01:23:23.580 Mm-hmm.

01:23:24.020 I see people drunk on drugs.

01:23:26.260 By the way, girls are now interested in this thing called Toosie, this pink thing.

01:23:28.860 Oh, man.

01:23:29.300 Every single day.

01:23:29.980 What is that?

01:23:30.620 It's like a mix between the white stuff and...

01:23:35.340 Oh, okay.

01:23:36.140 Ketamine and something else.

01:23:37.300 I don't know.

01:23:37.740 All right.

01:23:38.140 But I promise you, every girl's like, you have Toosie?

01:23:41.360 Nigga, what the fuck is that shit?

01:23:42.820 Why have that shit?

01:23:43.860 But that's going through it.

01:23:45.160 So they have alcohol, they have drugs, and then, you know what they do instead of, like,

01:23:49.400 working on themselves and doing better?

01:23:50.920 They say, well, if I do my work Monday to Friday and I just party on the weekends, everything

01:23:57.880 will be okay.

01:23:58.940 And then they go to festivals at EDC, Orlando, whatever.

01:24:01.460 The point is, they want to stay distracted and sedated by these works of life.

01:24:07.200 And my thing is that, okay, if this is your plan, what's the future?

01:24:10.520 Right.

01:24:11.160 So this whole cycle is going on this path of, like, nothingness.

01:24:15.560 And it's scary.

01:24:16.300 So I...

01:24:16.900 See, I believe it's the devil, okay?

01:24:19.080 Yeah.

01:24:19.320 It starts at a young age.

01:24:20.800 That's...

01:24:21.060 So if I was the devil, what would I do?

01:24:22.840 I would target the children first.

01:24:25.280 Because if I can get the negative ideas in the mind of a child first, they're cooked.

01:24:31.120 So porn is a...

01:24:31.940 Or corn.

01:24:33.080 Corn is a part of it, right?

01:24:34.260 But also, I'm going to target the teachers, the educators, the leaders to continue the

01:24:42.700 confusing ideas that are being placed in their minds.

01:24:45.480 Cartoons as well?

01:24:46.540 Cartoons.

01:24:47.240 TV.

01:24:48.020 Hollywood.

01:24:50.380 I think the results have shown that this stuff doesn't work, okay?

01:24:55.580 And if it worked, then Hollywood would be making more money, and they're not.

01:24:59.260 They're losing money.

01:24:59.920 If it worked, kids would be able to read at a higher grade level.

01:25:04.780 They're not.

01:25:05.240 They're more trying to figure out what their gender is than understanding how to read.

01:25:10.500 Yeah.

01:25:11.220 You know?

01:25:12.080 So...

01:25:14.140 This is the stuff that triggers me the most.

01:25:17.660 So, like, let's take the city of Chicago.

01:25:20.580 The Chicago Public Schools was just caught spending, like, $6 million on luxury vacations,

01:25:27.300 hotels, massages.

01:25:29.520 Wow.

01:25:30.420 With COVID money.

01:25:32.140 Okay.

01:25:33.580 I thought they were supposed to be educating our youth.

01:25:37.140 Massages is crazy.

01:25:38.520 What the fuck?

01:25:39.360 So, but see, this is what gets me going for the people who call me...

01:25:43.060 Young black children with subpar education.

01:25:47.660 But then you turn around and want to blame President Trump.

01:25:50.460 That makes no sense.

01:25:52.100 It's not President Trump who got them into a luxury hotel getting massages.

01:25:57.920 That's black people in charge of the education system, including the mayor, doing that.

01:26:03.280 And that's why it's so important.

01:26:03.940 And then you wonder why kids are growing up confused.

01:26:05.740 Yeah.

01:26:05.860 And that's what goes back to what you were saying before.

01:26:07.280 Getting involved in your local government is very important.

01:26:10.460 Exactly.

01:26:10.940 Because they actually, they influence your day-to-day.

01:26:13.540 Exactly.

01:26:13.960 Like, significantly.

01:26:14.860 Yeah.

01:26:15.600 Yeah.

01:26:15.880 So, again, the problems are right here in front of us.

01:26:19.300 Now, I'm not a doomer.

01:26:20.640 I like solutions.

01:26:21.800 So, solution is, I think homeschooling is great.

01:26:24.620 Private school is great.

01:26:27.060 Homeschooling is, like, the only way nowadays, dude.

01:26:28.820 Yeah.

01:26:29.240 The more I see what's going on, I'm like, man, you got to homeschool your kids.

01:26:31.400 Also, we need to bring church back.

01:26:33.300 Real church.

01:26:33.860 Because this church nowadays is, like, polluted, bro, with government agendas and gay rights.

01:26:38.660 It's, like, crazy, bro.

01:26:39.340 I just read something that they said Islam is becoming much more sought out or sought after because Christianity has become weak.

01:26:48.540 Yes.

01:26:48.740 They're not very firm in their values.

01:26:50.540 Yeah.

01:26:51.060 Right?

01:26:52.000 So, a lot of people will call me a bigot because I remember people got mad at me one time when I was like, yeah, I don't believe in gay marriage at all.

01:27:00.380 Well, why?

01:27:01.140 Because I'm a Christian.

01:27:02.360 Christians don't believe in that.

01:27:03.660 Yeah.

01:27:03.840 Yeah.

01:27:04.320 You know?

01:27:04.700 That doesn't mean I hate you.

01:27:06.220 That's the problem with this country.

01:27:07.420 As soon as you say, I don't agree with something, oh, you're racist.

01:27:10.680 Yeah.

01:27:10.980 Yeah.

01:27:11.180 They're going to call you.

01:27:12.720 What?

01:27:12.960 Yeah.

01:27:13.100 They don't want to contend with your argument.

01:27:14.400 They just say, they just call you a name and keep pushing.

01:27:16.940 Can we just disagree?

01:27:17.880 It's okay.

01:27:19.660 But, yeah, the Christian church has definitely taken a blow in so many ways.

01:27:25.800 And that's why I love my, I'm a part of this Bible study group with men.

01:27:30.720 And we always tell each other, like, ultimately, it's about your relationship with God, not necessarily the church.

01:27:40.720 The church is just a tool that you can use.

01:27:43.660 But ultimately, God knows your heart.

01:27:44.940 Are you Protestant?

01:27:45.400 Like, what is your non-denominational or?

01:27:48.440 I grew up Baptist.

01:27:49.520 Baptist?

01:27:49.960 Okay.

01:27:50.120 Yeah, yeah.

01:27:50.360 So, firm believer in Proverbs 23, 7, you know, as he thinking in his heart, so is he, you know, only God knows what's in your heart.

01:27:59.420 Yeah.

01:27:59.660 And so, that's why every single day, you should be doing something of service to this world because God has already given us the talents.

01:28:08.900 And I, like, I'm in agreement with you.

01:28:10.940 We need to, you know, listen, I'm not a believer in trying to tell people what to believe.

01:28:15.160 You know, they don't need to be Christian.

01:28:16.400 They can believe whatever they want.

01:28:17.320 Okay?

01:28:18.020 I do believe in Christianity, and I do believe, as a country, we were founded on those values, and I think we need to get back to that.

01:28:24.820 Yeah.

01:28:25.180 Good point.

01:28:25.700 Yeah.

01:28:26.440 Also, real quick, you saw Blair White.

01:28:29.580 She says, yes, I'm T.

01:28:31.520 Yes, I'm a Christian.

01:28:32.460 Mm-hmm.

01:28:33.180 Bro.

01:28:33.880 Oh, yeah.

01:28:34.360 That does not make any sense, bro.

01:28:35.580 Yeah, I don't know.

01:28:36.560 Like, you what?

01:28:38.060 Anyhow, I'll leave that there.

01:28:40.020 Yeah, so this is the part of the conservative movement that I think is dicey.

01:28:45.780 Like, we become a big tent party, right, as far as politics are concerned.

01:28:51.040 Yep.

01:28:51.440 In order to win.

01:28:52.640 Makes total sense.

01:28:54.060 But that doesn't mean we still need to act like we support that stuff.

01:28:58.260 Yeah.

01:28:58.680 You know?

01:28:59.020 So, I'm not taking away from whatever accomplishments Blair White has had, but I definitely don't support that lifestyle.

01:29:08.220 Yeah.

01:29:08.660 You know?

01:29:09.140 And it goes back to my son.

01:29:11.200 He's going to turn two in, what is today?

01:29:15.120 November.

01:29:15.540 So, in, like, 20 days.

01:29:16.780 I don't need him hanging around with people who are gay.

01:29:21.420 Yeah.

01:29:21.760 I don't need him hanging around with people who are confused about their gender, because that's how it starts.

01:29:26.220 Yeah, yeah.

01:29:26.560 You know?

01:29:27.040 Yeah.

01:29:27.460 Let me just make this point, and we can move on.

01:29:30.000 So, how many languages do you speak?

01:29:33.560 Two.

01:29:34.720 Oh, you speak two?

01:29:35.620 Yeah.

01:29:35.960 How about you?

01:29:36.560 Just one?

01:29:37.020 I speak two.

01:29:38.420 Really?

01:29:38.840 English.

01:29:40.540 Real niggas knees.

01:29:41.800 I knew he was going to say that.

01:29:43.000 Let's go!

01:29:43.440 I knew he was going to say that.

01:29:44.780 Okay.

01:29:45.560 Let's go, man.

01:29:46.740 Yee!

01:29:47.460 Okay.

01:29:48.540 If you were outside in public right now, and someone was speaking Ukrainian, would you know?

01:29:56.520 No.

01:29:57.440 No.

01:29:57.700 Why?

01:29:58.100 No.

01:29:58.460 You would know Slavic maybe, but you wouldn't know exactly what it is.

01:30:01.580 Because you were never exposed to that.

01:30:03.900 Yeah.

01:30:05.100 We only eat, dress, think, speak what we've been exposed to as Americans.

01:30:13.760 Good point.

01:30:14.200 If you took Myron when he was one years old and stuck him in Beijing, China, he'd be fluent

01:30:21.480 in Mandarin right now.

01:30:22.840 Yep.

01:30:24.260 Right?

01:30:24.900 Product of his environment.

01:30:25.900 So my point to all of this is that we need to be very conservative with the environment

01:30:32.000 that we are allowing children to be exposed to.

01:30:34.860 They're not old enough to reason.

01:30:36.880 That's one of your mental faculties.

01:30:38.500 Reason.

01:30:39.000 Do I agree with this or do I disagree with this?

01:30:41.000 Is this true or false?

01:30:42.040 They can't probably discern what they're seeing.

01:30:43.660 Exactly.

01:30:44.260 They can't do that until they get older.

01:30:46.780 So don't do that to them.

01:30:48.220 Give them a fighting chance.

01:30:49.420 If they want to be trans and all this other stuff, they can wait until they're 18 years

01:30:52.440 old to do that.

01:30:53.180 Yep.

01:30:53.920 You know?

01:30:55.300 See, that's why politics has become a part of every day.

01:30:58.100 You can't go anywhere without talking about it.

01:30:59.500 Because these people fell asleep at the will, they allowed politics to start messing with

01:31:05.580 children.

01:31:06.100 Yeah, yeah.

01:31:07.000 And that's why more parents are involved now.

01:31:09.340 More people are involved in politics than ever is because they stopped doing what they

01:31:12.960 were supposed to be doing on Capitol Hill.

01:31:16.100 So.

01:31:17.200 No.

01:31:17.400 Especially in commie California.

01:31:18.880 Yeah.

01:31:19.180 Yeah.

01:31:19.300 No, I agree with you that, you know, it's not, we're not saying these things because we

01:31:24.580 hate a group of people.

01:31:25.360 It's about, let's give the kids a fair shot where they're playing on a, even playing

01:31:29.280 field where they're not being exposed to ideologies or ideas that can be a permanent

01:31:34.160 solution to, you know, to a very temporary situation.

01:31:38.640 Right.

01:31:39.000 You know?

01:31:39.400 So, we could read some chats here and then we'll close out.

01:31:42.640 And we're going to have DeVore on with some girls as well.

01:31:44.960 It's going to be a good time.

01:31:45.920 Anything else?

01:31:46.560 Or no?

01:31:47.680 Two?

01:31:48.080 All right.

01:31:48.320 We'll read these and then we'll get out of here.

01:31:50.580 And then we'll be back, guys, probably in about 10, about 20 minutes or so.

01:31:54.260 A quick little break, then we'll switch.

01:31:55.880 All right.

01:31:56.020 Idris Raheem says, I appreciate DeVore, WFresh, WM Iron.

01:31:59.280 We'll definitely get a second job and take the most out of the networking.

01:32:02.740 All right?

01:32:02.880 Good stuff, bro.

01:32:03.620 Absolutely.

01:32:04.580 Shout out to you.

01:32:05.060 By the way, guys, one connection could change your entire life.

01:32:08.260 He says, Mikey Young says, thoughts on Leonardo Joni?

01:32:12.800 I don't know who that is.

01:32:14.260 Me either.

01:32:14.860 Who is that?

01:32:16.420 She's a female comedian.

01:32:17.360 She's cool.

01:32:18.700 Was she the one that was recently on the Hodge Twins podcast?

01:32:25.160 I don't know if she was on there recently.

01:32:27.160 I don't know.

01:32:27.380 Who does?

01:32:28.920 I don't know.

01:32:29.760 Is she bad?

01:32:31.840 I'm going to look her up right now.

01:32:32.680 Never mind.

01:32:34.540 This guy.

01:32:35.380 All right.

01:32:35.840 All right.

01:32:36.260 So, guys, we'll be back in about, give us, Chris, 20 minutes.
